Random tidbits from DeKeyser to Rieder
DeKeyser Raffle
The Detroit Red Wings win the Danny DeKeyser raffle, as he has chosen to play with them. I think that s a really good fit. I don't suspect that he'll play for the big club right away, but it would serve him better anyways to get some AHL seasoning. The Oilers definitely could have used him, but hopefully that forces their hand in negotiations with Ladislav Smid.
Oilers Trade Tobias Rieder to the Coyotes for Kale Kessy
The Oilers also made a minor trade today sending smallish German forward Tobias Rieder to the Phoenix Coyotes for a coke machine – Kale Kessy. From what I can tell of Kessy, he is able to put up pretty respectable WHL numbers. I am pretty skeptical though that this can translate to the NHL level. He seems similar to Mitch Moroz in his skillset. Joanne Ireland tweeted that he'd been suspended by the Dub 7 times (career) before coming over to Kamloops in a trade. Sounds like he is a bit of an animal. I will say that I'd love for the Oilers to have a guy on their NHL roster with that Raffi Torres animalistic nature… however, only if they can play hockey. It will remain to be seen if this guy can do that or not. As for Rieder, I'm glad he's been moved… not because I don't like him, but I think he, Linus Omark and Toni Rajala are guys that will likely never see time in an Oiler uniform from here out, unless injuries make us desperate. So it would be good to give these guys opportunity to have an NHL career somewhere else. Did we get good value in this trade? I'm not so sure we did, but I'm not so sure the value of a small winger is there either, so I'm also not too overly concerned about it.
Trade Deadline Approaches
The 2012-2013 NHL trade deadline is coming up soon. It is this coming Wednesday, April 3rd. There have been a number of Oilers involved in trade rumors by the likes of Bob Stauffer, Bob McKenzie, the Fourth Period guys, Mark Spector, a Bruins beat writer.. you name it. Where there's smoke, there's fire, as they say. So I do believe some players are being shopped around, and we have our sights on some players. Here's my take on those names… Continue reading 'Random tidbits from DeKeyser to Rieder'»

This weekend I publish a GoldMoney article with irrefutable evidence that central banks have been supplying gold into the market. Very simply, since the April price-smash gold has been supplied to satisfy the global surge in demand, otherwise the price would have bounced and a bear-squeeze ensued, rapidly taking prices higher. The fact that gold has not recovered significantly leaves three possibilities. Take your pick:
1. Central banks are feeding gold into the market.
2. A flying saucer loaded with gold from an extra-terrestrial source has landed.
3. Global reports of a surge in demand for physical gold, delivery delays from refiners and price premiums from Dubai to Hong Kong are all an elaborate hoax.
Two of these options are conspiracy theories. The one that isn't is supported by the very different performance of silver, because central banks and their western governments do not have stockpiles to ease the market shortage, while they do have a diminishing stockpile of gold. The difference between gold, where the four largest bullion banks are now net long in the futures market and silver where they are still short, has been reflected at times of quiet trading when gold has frequently been marginally down while silver has been marginally up. The market signal is clear: If there are a few buyers looking to buy on dips, let them buy gold and not silver.
The difference between the positions of the largest four traders (all bullion banks) in gold and silver is shown by comparing the two charts below.

- System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall -> Advanced -> "+" -> GrassGames' Hearts
The same goes for Windows firewall - you should allow the game full access.
The game tries to open a port on your router to help network games connections. However this may or may not be successful.
You can check if the port is being opened properly are by using the Port Map program by Coding Monkeys - here's the Mac download link: (no Windows one yet, sorry)
After you download the program, do the following:
- Start the game
- Select Network Game
- Create a game - this should open a port
- Start the Port Map program that you downloaded
- Press the All UPnP Mappings button
- See if a port has been opened by the game
You can add a port for the game by doing the following (not a bad idea even if a port is listed already):
- Start the game
- Select "Network Game"
- From the lobby click the bottom right button
- Select "Options"
- Note down the two port numbers being used
- Start the Port Map program
- Click the "+" button in Port Map
- Enter the first port number in the Local Port field
- Check both TCP and UDP
- Type Hearts or Cribbage into the Description field
- Press Add Mapping
- Repeat the steps above to add another port for the second port number you noted down above
Now try connecting to people within the game.
If this does not work you can also try to change your port number in the online options to a different number between 43000 and 53000, then add the mappings above again for the new numbers.

Merge KVM article into QEMU
Because the QEMU-KVM fork of QEMU has been deprecated/obsoleted as of QEMU 1.3 [1] (about 9 months ago as of this writing [2]) and QEMU is now on version 1.6, we should strongly consider merging the KVM article into the main article for QEMU. A separate article for the KVM fork made sense historically, but now that the fork has been merged upstream, we should just keep everything on one page.
Does anyone disagree?
-- Jstjohn (talk) 16:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Good idea, I don't think anybody can disagree, as the main section of this article, KVM#How_to_use_KVM, already just links to QEMU ^^
- If then somebody considers QEMU to have become too long, it should be discussed to split it in some other way.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 01:06, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- The problems of KVM#Tips_and_tricks should be solved along the way, especially KVM#Live_snapshots which belongs to libvirt and not to QEMU. It should also be clearly stated which features are KVM-specific to avoid confusion.
- -- Lahwaacz (talk) 10:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- I just merged KVM#Live_snapshots into libvirt.

I am trying to decide between Carrier (11 seer/2 stage furnace variable speed) and Lennox (Signature G61MPV-60C-090 and Elite HSXA12-042). Lennox is offering a 5 year labor parts warranty and Carrier a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Price is competitive with Carrier slightly higher.
Any feedback on which system to go with based on repair history/running efficiency & operating costs would be appreciated.

In some cases, the doctor needs to help
begin by using:
Inducing labor is done instead of waiting for your body to go into labor on its own. In the US, nearly one in five labors is induced.
The most common reason to have an induction is that the pregnancy has gone two or more weeks past the due date. In this situation, the baby may:
Other reasons for induction include:
The same complications that may occur when labor begins on its own may also occur during induced delivery. Risks associated with the medications used for labor induction include the following:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
The same instructions used when labor begins on its own also apply to induced labor. But, there are some differences.
Do not eat too much before arriving at the hospital. It is okay to have clear fluids. The medicines can create very strong contractions and could upset your stomach. Contractions slow the digestive process, so your stomach will remain full. This can cause a problem if you need
general anesthesia.
To deliver your baby vaginally, the cervix will need to "ripen." This means it needs to soften, thin, and open to prepare for delivery. If your cervix is not doing this already, your doctor may aid this process by giving you medicine. Medicine may be a:
The cervical ripening process can last up to a few days.
There are also procedures that your doctor may try to aid cervical ripening, such as:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
If contractions have not started when your cervix is ripe, your doctor will give you a drug that causes contractions. The drug is a man-made version of a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone is produced by your body during active labor. The drug will be adjusted during labor to strengthen or weaken the contractions. After contractions begin, the labor and birth process will be the same as when labor begins on its own.
The same pain medicines are available for an induced labor as for a spontaneous delivery, including:
If everything goes well, you will vaginally deliver a healthy baby after the induction.
It can be hours to several days (very rarely) from the time you are induced until the delivery. If your cervix is not ripe when you are scheduled for the induction, labor and delivery could take 2-3 days. It could take longer for first-time mothers and for pre-term babies.
Labor causes severe pain. Talk to your doctor about ways to manage the pain.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have any problems.
The care after an induced labor is the same as for a spontaneous birth.
When you go home after having a vaginal delivery, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

The Leavenworth County Port Authority Wednesday moved back a deadline for a financial commitment first authorized last March to extend gas service to a new industrial park in Tonganoxie. Steve Jack, executive director of the Leavenworth County Development Corporation, said in March the Port Authority voted to fund up to $260,000 in order to extend gas lines to a 237-acre parcel of land at the corner of 222nd Street and Kansas Avenue in Tonganoxie. The site was purchased by the city of Tonganoxie with the thought of turning it into an industrial park. But development officials have told the city and LCDC that prospects will likely be slim without utilities like gas and water. The Port Authority's offer to fund the gas line to the park as part of a broader effort to make at least 40 acres of the site ready for building. However, Jack said the original vote from the Port Authority hinged on a business agreeing to move into the park. "The Port Authority didn't want to expend their money and the city doesn't really want to spend their money extending utilities to the park until we had somebody in the park," he said. There is one potential client, Jack said. Codenamed "Project ARC" during the negotiation stages, the company would not actually be located in the industrial park. "But it's along the way," Jack said. "So if we could extend the gas from here down to here, and it would serve some property along the way, we could get some jobs out of that, and some capital investment, then we could be killing two birds with one stone." The motion in March to fund the new gas line was set to expire Dec. 31 of this year. Jack said as a result of the vote Wednesday, the offer was available until June 30, 2013. "Back in March, we thought this was going to happen a lot quicker," he said. Nathan McCommon, city administrator for Tonganoxie, said things are starting to move on the project. "I expect something seriously different to start happening out there," he said.

Spaghetti in Parchment With Clams
Satisfying and seasonal food in about 30 minutes.
THE BRINY LIQUOR a clam releases when its shell pops open during cooking is as delectable as its meat. "It's the essence of the sea," said Marc Vetri. In a traditional spaghetti alle vongole, a good glug of olive oil marries with that seawater essence, creating a silky sauce that clings to the pasta.
Mr. Vetri is a chef who knows when to leave well enough alone, but he also strives to wring maximum flavor from simple preparations. With this recipe, his third of four Slow Food Fast contributions, he's made the classic...

MILAN (AP) — Finmeccanica, the Italian aerospace and defense giant, tripled earnings in the third quarter due to cost-cutting, improved margins and better sales of products like helicopters.
The company, which is 30-percent owned by the government, on Thursday reported net profit of €75 million ($95 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30. It made €25 billion last year, excluding a one-time 2011 writedown of €753 million related to faulty components it supplied for Boeing Co.'s 787 airliner.
Revenues for the quarter rose 8 percent to €4.1 billion from €3.8 billion in the same period last year.
CEO Giuseppe Orsi said the results indicated progress from the restructuring plan undertaken last year.
The company, meanwhile, remains at the center of a growing corruption probe.

American Soccer's Strong Second Half
How the 2010 World Cup could push the United States into the international soccer elite.
See all of Slate's World Cup coverage.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—The quadrennial story of whether soccer will ever "make it" in the United States is, as far as I'm concerned, dead. Sure, like those cicadas that emerge every 17 years, the World Cup is an occasion for a dwindling number of doofus luddites —the collective vestigial tail of the American media—to proudly trumpet their dislike, or ignorance, of the game. But any sports fan with a pulse was riveted by Team USA's second-half comeback tie against tiny Slovenia on Friday. I was in the stadium, among the fans, but I've heard from plenty of people back home who were mesmerized, energized, and ultimately outraged by the game. Without going all Eduardo Galeano here, soccer can move the soul.
Twelve years ago, American soccer was a much different position both at home and abroad. At the 1998 World Cup in France, the Americans finished dead last of the 32 teams, the low point being a dreadful loss to Iran. * During that tournament, I asked Sunil Gulati—then the deputy commissioner of Major League Soccer and now the president of the U.S. Soccer Federation—about the United States' place in the soccer world. Despite successfully hosting the 1994 World Cup, the United States, Gulati admitted then, received little respect on or off the field, especially from the game's traditional powers. European soccer executives reflexively dismissed the USA as a joke.
After two games in the 2010 World Cup, it's fair to say the U.S. national team—and American soccer more proudly—is no longer the subject of widespread international mockery. "No one with the exception of a few English tabloids—and maybe less so [after the Yanks' comeback 1-1 tie in Rustenberg on June 12]—takes us as a joke," Gulati told me in his apartment suite in Johannesburg's tony Sandton neighborhood. "Am I sitting here saying we're the Premier League in the MLS, or that our national team is as good consistently as Argentina's game in and game out, or that soccer is woven into the American fabric the same way it is in Brazil? Those things are not true. What I am saying is that we've made as much progress if not more than anyone else in the world in a number of important areas on the field and off the field, and the potential for American soccer is unlimited given the size of the country, given the wealth of the country, given the demographics of the country. We're getting closer to where we're fully accepted in the elite."
The United States, though, still hasn't quite secured a place at soccer's adults' table. Last July, Gulati says, he joined Sepp Blatter, the head of the sport's international governing body FIFA, at a banquet the night before the final of the regional Gold Cup tournament at Giants Stadium. In a speech, Blatter made a little joke about the United States, which had recently surrendered a 2-0 halftime lead to Brazil in the finals of the Confederations Cup, losing 3-2. "I have to remind the U.S. federation that the game consists of two halves," Blatter said. Chuckle, chuckle.
Meeting Blatter the next morning, Gulati spun that joke by telling the FIFA boss that American soccer is starting the second half of a 50-year plan. The first half began in 1984, when soccer sold out the Rose Bowl at the profitable Los Angeles Olympics, demonstrating that Americans will pay to watch big-event games. (That was also the year the North American Soccer League bit the dust, but FIFA never liked the NASL anyway.) The United States in 1988 won a bid to host a World Cup; qualified for the tournament in 1990; won the first women's World Cup in 1991; hosted the men's tournament in 1994; formed Major League Soccer in 1996; hosted the dramatic, sports-bra-baring women's World Cup in 1999; reached the quarterfinals of the 2002 men's tournament; and qualified for a fifth straight men's World Cup in 2006. The first half ended in 2009, when the United States nearly won its first major global title—that loss to Brazil—and David Beckham deplaned in L.A.
For a sport with a bumpy history stateside, that's a pretty good half. FIFA's longstanding desire for more—for instance, a fall-winter-spring playing schedule for MLS that conforms with most of the rest of the world, and a system of club promotion and relegation—are projects for the next 25 years, Gulati told Blatter. "In the second half, we'll do some of the things you're talking about," he said.
FIFA's poobahs are keen for America's growing soccer revenue to grow even more quickly; they'd love for the USA to rival England, Spain, and Italy as a destination for the world's best players and their multimillion-dollar salaries and transfer fees. Gulati, meanwhile, is a pragmatist. An economics professor at Columbia when he's not performing his soccer duties, he knows soccer will continue its upward curve but that it takes decades to create a mass sporting culture.
The USA-Slovenia game supports Gulati's analogy: If you consider that just 20 years ago the Yanks qualified for their first World Cup since 1950, fielding a team that included collegians, the on-field progress has been astounding. Sure, there are still some qualitative differences in skill between the Americans and, say, the Dutch, but the U.S. national team can compete with the soccer elites now. Don't think the 2-2 result against Slovenia—population 2 million—is embarrassing. Global soccer is increasingly competitive; individual games can be fluky. At this tournament, Switzerland has beaten Spain, and Serbia has beaten Germany. And woe to be English after the game's codifiers were tied by Algeria on Friday.
On-field acceptance is largely psychological, conferred by long stretches of winning. Most-recent performances notwithstanding—small sample size—the current soccer elite, Gulati says and I'd agree, includes eight nations: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, and Spain. After that, take your pick: Portugal? Paraguay? Ghana? Ivory Coast? Chile? Paraguay? Serbia? Cameroon? The United States? It may be hard for We're-No.-1 Americans to comprehend, but inclusion on that list is major progress. "Twenty years ago it was, we don't belong on the field," Gulati says. "Now it's, we don't belong in the winner's circle yet. No one is taking us for granted, I guarantee you that."
The world of FIFA, like that of the International Olympic Committee, is a byzantine business governed largely by white European men of a certain age. Rewards as disparate as hosting a World Cup or the referees' tournament assignments are a product of horse-trading, deal-making, and alliance-forming. (In his book, Foul! The Secret World of FIFA; Bribes, Vote Rigging, and Ticket Scandals, British journalist Andrew Jennings writes that FIFA also has been rife with corruption and conflicts of interest.) For a country like the United States, long considered an outsider in soccer—Europeans for years derided its barbaric lack of a soccer culture while also asking how they can tap into our deep-pocketed sports market—winning is a corollary to influence.
Gulati can be blunt, but also politically astute. He and other American soccer executives have worked FIFA meeting rooms to slowly expand the country's influence. More than 20 Americans sit on FIFA committees—from the decision-making Executive Committee to the Fair Play and Social Responsibility Committee (though not the Football Committee, headed by Franz Beckenbauer, or the Marketing and Television Advisory Board, even though U.S. companies pay FIFA more than any other country for TV rights and sponsorships). A quarter-century ago, the United States was on maybe one committee.
Does that matter? If a country wants something from FIFA, it needs help. For the United States, that means the next six months are what Gulati considers "in many ways the most important in the history of the federation." The United States has a good team attempting to prove it belongs, has visibility and leverage thanks to ESPN's and Univision's $425 million in rights payments for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, and has a bid to host either the 2018 or, more likely, 2022 World Cup. "I don't like the phrase tipping point, but I think we've got an opportunity here," Gulati says.
On Excel and PowerPoint, the U.S. bid has it all: stadiums, infrastructure, marketing, television, ticket sales; the bid lists more than 5 million seats available for games, 40 percent more than any other World Cup host is offering. That's a lot of revenue for FIFA, which takes all income from the event and then reimburses the host. Plus, the bid promises no public spending on stadiums, which, after the costs endured by South Africa to build potential white elephants, should be welcomed.
And, as you might expect, the U.S. federation has produced a slick video, narrated by Morgan Freeman, highlighting not just America's sports splendor but its diversity. (The video has been shown publicly only once; Gulati screened it for me.) Hyphenated American soccer fans say, "Bring it to my country" and "My country loves this game" in Portuguese, Greek, Spanish, Polish, and other languages. The message: Forget the old target market of Odyssey-driving soccer moms and dads. This is an international footballing nation.
It's a tactic designed to appeal to FIFA's polyglot 24-member executive committee, which will select the next two World Cup hosts in December. So is the letter from Bill Clinton that Gulati slipped under the suite door of each Executive Committee member; the former president said he hoped to meet each of them in South Africa. Nothing impresses a privileged foreigner like a handshake from Clinton, who is the honorary chairman of the bid's star-studded board. It also didn't hurt that Vice President Biden attended the USA-England game and met with a group of FIFA officials, including Blatter and the head of the 54-nation African confederation.
Does the combination of business and political firepower make the United States a lock? Not by a long shot. In international sports, it's not always what you do; it's whom you impress, or promise, or pay. When CONCACAF—the 35-nation soccer federation for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean—met recently, it invited all nine World Cup bidders to make a pitch. When the African federation gathered, its "congress" was sponsored by the bid group from Qatar—which was the only bidder allowed to make a presentation.
Beating Algeria in Pretoria on Wednesday will send the U.S. team into the second round of the World Cup (a draw might, too). It will also give Gulati and other U.S. soccer execs more time to schmooze and maneuver from a position of strength. In American soccer's second half, Bill Clinton might turn heads, but winning games is what opens minds, and doors.
Correction, June 22, 2010: This piece originally stated that the United States concluded its stint at the 1998 World Cup by losing to Iran. The loss to Iran came in the U.S. national team's second of three games. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

Responding to the other half
Written by Neil A. Davis, Gothenburg Thursday, 15 March 2012 13:16
Although Joe Knoedler has presented another installment of his respect for my point of view, I have not finished responding to his first letter.
In my last letter, I left off halfway through his statement, "In case you haven't noticed the Republican Party preaching about liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet they refuse to let women have the right to choose, let people choose who they should marry, refuse the basic right to healthcare to millions of Americans, and to close our borders and keep innovation out of America."
I'm guessing he thinks closing our borders and keeping innovation out are not things Republicans refuse to let happen, but things they want to do. Not being an English major myself, it took some effort to work through his assault on basic sentence structure. Republicans do want to close the borders to terrorists, criminals, drug smugglers and freeloaders—not to innovation as he suggests. After all, wasn't it the illegal alien Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa who single-handedly transformed the American medical profession? Polls show that 75% of the voting public see the damage Obamacare is already doing to health care and want it changed. The Supreme Court will be deciding on it's constitutionality this summer. I'm not going to beat a dying horse.
He wrote that these supposed refusals by Republicans sound like "...something a fascist dictator would do..." It's not apparent that he knows the definition of fascism. Fascist tendencies are what Obama used to nationalize General Motors and Chrysler. While Obama lies about GM's big comeback, it still owes $25 billion to U.S. taxpayers and has now sunk $400 million into the French car company PSA Peugeot Citroen which is "drowning in red ink." How about the Bamster's hot selling Chevy Volt? Production was halted at the same time he was upping the tax subsidy to $10,000. People don't even want to buy them when their neighbors are chipping in 25% of the cost! Smells like the billion$ we lost in Solyndra and all the other green energy company failures. Analysts can't believe anyone could be this incompetent. The only other explanation is that Obama is intentionally trying to destroy the economy. There is plenty of evidence to support that theory.
Knoedler asks "What is wrong with giving people...fair taxes...?" Is it fair when the "recipient class" (47-49%) does not pay any income tax but receives benefits that in many cases the "payer class" can't take advantage of? Obama's spewing of class warfare and promoting the food stamp program builds up the Democrat voter base. Pure democracy is the ability of 51% of voters to raise taxes on the other 49%. This is the reason the founders gave us a republic not a democracy. Read James Madison's Federalist No. 10 (www.constitution.org/fed/federa10.htm) and don't let liberal educators tell your children otherwise (minds into mush).

In this never-before-seen photograph of Michael Jackson and his children, taken late last year, you can see a resemblance between Jackson and his youngest child, son Prince Michael II, also known as 'Blanket'.
Maybe Michael is the biological father to his youngest child? I have never noticed any sort of physical resemblance between Jackson and his kids, but in that photo, his youngest son certainly looks a bit like dad!
The photo was released by real estate developer Mohamed Hadid (pictured). Hadid, third from the left, poses with his own children (second left, far right), Michael and his three kids, Michael Joseph Jr. (also known as "Prince"), now 12, daughter Paris Michael Katherine, now 11, and youngest Prince Michael II or Blanket, 7, as he's affectionately referred to.
Jackson spent his last days in the Holmby Hills home originally built by close friend Hadid.
You can see cute home movie snippets of Michael and his kids.

Who Said "Less is More"
Dec 21, 2012 1:50:07 PM
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, along with Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of Modern architecture. Mies, like many of his post World War I contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential 20th century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He strived towards an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought a rational approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, and is known for his use of the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".

About the Trail
The Great North Road originally branched from Windsor Road at Baulkham Hills. It is now called Old Northern Road between there and Wisemans Ferry. In 1829 Surveyor General Thomas Mitchell developed a shorter route which branched north from the Parramatta Road at Five Dock. A ferry crossed the Parramatta River from Abbotsford to Bedlam Point at Gladesville where part of the convict-built ferry landing remains. The route of the original road then runs along what are now a series of major and minor suburban roads to eventually become New Line Road at Pennant Hills and then join the original line from Castle Hill at Dural.
A convict-built causeway remains on Devlins Creek, Epping, just under the bus flyover of the M2.
Extending north from Sydney to the Hunter Valley, the Convict Trail follows the route of the 240 km Great North Road, built between 1826 and 1836. Most of this road continues to be used today, offering an alternative, slower paced scenic route between Sydney and the Hunter, where one can explore the brilliant engineering works created by hundreds of convicts - many working in leg-irons.
Relics such as stone retaining walls, wharves, culverts, bridges and buttresses can still be seen along the entire length of the Great North Road - in Sydney suburbs like Epping and Gladesville, at Wisemans Ferry or Wollombi, Bucketty or Broke, or when walking in Dharug and Yengo National Parks.

And I mean exactly that first twilight. A death drug? Makeup? Seriously? I mean, okay man, you may not like Shkanon, but try to live with it. I won't say anything as arrogant as 'it totally violates Knox', just that I fell from my chair when I watched it.
(P.S: I think the most hilarious one was that video about Our Confessions where he calls himself one of the few enlighted ones.)
No, but seriously, I'm convinced that even if you showed a red statement by Ryukishi himself verifying Shkanon, that guy would still manage to find a way round it. Ryukishi is part of the Illuminati or something...

I find the pale (possibly blonde) hair hard to accept, but then, many of the Umineko characters are presented with hair colours they don't actually have.

It doesn't matter too much, though, 'cause Yasu quickly decides against rustling any jimmies.
"I don't want the headship ... Krauss can have that job."
"...well okay. BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE TRUE MASTER TO USSSSS."
When these things were written is one of those things everyone just ... has their own feeling about. One thing we can agree upon, though, is that we definitely are NOT reading the same text that was found in those bottles. For firsties, not a single EP is framing itself like a 9-year old's diary.

Thought I share this:
Found it interesting, not believing it though.
Disregard the Rosa part.
Since I'm not sure regarding posting images of the novel I'll just quote:
"I figured it was too easy, so I guess I tried to twist it too far."
"Battlers answer is smaller than the one in the book, Is Battler right?"
"Yes he is right."
"Battler reached a far better answer than three by thinking of the problem as a riddle.Erika had already known both answers and had even spotted a mistake made by the book"
Just sounds to me like as if Ryukishi kinda implies that while there is an actual truth which is correct, there is also another truth that is correct and far better when overthinking the obvious and seeing the mistakes to reach a conclusion that is superior than the actual one.
Which is why I think there are two answers to Umineko.
Shkanon and something else.

Disregards way, way too much of the story for me to really go with it, but damnit if I can entertain the idea of 6-year-old Ange as an evil mastermind who blew up her family, I can entertain this a little, too.
To keep from getting into a rant, Ryukishi brings up a lot of ... well, interesting points in Chiru. very interesting. He seems to be a writer who's very aware of what he's doing as a writer, but is ... inconsistent in how he feels about it. "Fine the truth!", but then "No, you don't need the truth." Or "Fill witches with an entire barrage of stakes!" but then "Don't forget the heart." And then there's EP5's where both of the answers acknowledged as valid we are outright told are both wrong, anyway.
Is Battler/Erika's answer better? Certainly more interesting and clever ... or are they just overeager goats who didn't notice that there was clearly a drawing of a hunk of cheese that would not bend the way they suggest, right on the page? Are they ignoring the heart of childrens--puzzle-book-writer-dude..?
...unless, wait, maybe you're talking about Prime? Who the hell knows what he intends THAT answer to be. You may as well say he wrote the question, burned it, and handed you a blnk sheet of paper with some corner scraps of the burnt paper. All you can evens write is "Yup, there's some real burnt paper, here."

Our confession also implied this. And Ryukishi's interview confirmed this.
Anyway, written will or not I don't think Yasu inherited legally title and gold, expecially the gold as it's not supposed to exist since Kinzo owned it illegally but the title also as apparently no one officially notified Yasu's inheritance to someone nor Yasu was inscribed in the family register or officially recognized as Kinzo's child... which would have been troublesome because, if I'm not wrong, the type of incest from which Yasu had birth is a crime in Japan and Beato 2 wasn't even registered as a living person... nor was the baby's birth registered.
The point is: Yasu perceived himself/herself as Kinzo's heir a belief Nanjo, Genji and Kumasawa supported. Yasu had access to the gold which could be converted for him/her in cash by Genji and Yasu probably had no idea or doesn't care about how difficult it would be to legalize his/her claim at being the heir.
Age though isn't a relevant matter in chosing the heir as in EP 7 Kinzo wanted Lion to be the heir and Lion is definitely younger than Krauss, while Eva hoped Kinzo would choose her successful son over Krauss and Rudolf his male sons (as well as the 3 females that are in a higher place than George in the family line of importance).
We don't know if Kinzo ever consider making Beato 2 the heir... it's possible he was hoping to marry her somehow instead than declaring her his daughter so it might be he had a different plan for her.
As he wanted to see Yasu as his child/grandchild instead Kinzo wanted Yasu to be the heir.
Christie did many things that weren't exactly classical, like having a policeman being the culprit, or the guy who seemed to be the detective being the culprit, or having the narrator being the culprit or victim & culprit dying by suicide. She even let a culprit escape and we even had a maid who inherited a fortune because she was the actual secret illegittimate daughter to a rich person.
She's also similar to Lion and Clair.
I guess it makes sense she would present herself as such though.
Anyway I think that Beato's words about Battler's sins are truthful on a certain point of view.
On the gameboards the guilt is undoubtely on Battler as they're built to make him the cause of everything.
Now, if we consider Prime, the whole story seemed to imply that, at least in this reality, what Battler did started a chain reaction that lead to the Rokkenjima incident.
However, EP 7 seems to imply that, even if Battler hadn't done what he did the situation was as such that, although in a different way, we would reach the same result.
This doesn't make Beato's red wrong, it just says it's possible to reach the same result (everyone died) even in a way that's different from the previous (via Yasu's game)

It implies that Uminekos central figure is actually Maria, that what we see is her fantasy, its her story and that the girl we see in 1998, Ange, is the actual Maria who relives her childhood fantasies in an alternate universe/reality due to her current living situation being the same as in childhood causing her to escape back into her fantasy.Ange meeting Maria = herself overcoming those illusion, realizing that actual magic doesn't exist allowing her inner child to move on.
Like I said I don't believe but I just like it somehow.XD
They simply reached a far better conclusion than one that is indeed right.
Everyone part Battler and Erika said 3.That is correct.
Though not THE answer cause as Maria said it, THE answer was 1.
So yes their answer was better and THE actual answer overcoming an answer that is still correct but not the one that was looked for.
And how'd they do it?
One thought it was too easy.The other knew both answers and realized the books mistake and are stated by Maria herself that their answer is absolutely correct.
Implying that while something can be true it doesn't it is THE truth.
Then again, I don't wanna cause a (bleep)storm or something.

While it's certainly true that most of us didn't suspect that Shannon was the culprit or the heir until very late on, the servants as a whole have been obviously suspicious the whole time. In fact, they're so suspicious, you don't even have to think up explanations for most of the closed rooms, since they depend entirely on testimony from those people.
Even more suspicious than this is the character of Beatrice. We've been outright told that she's the culprit constantly, and the old witch pranks tie her pretty clearly to someone living/working on the island.
This is the biggest problem with Shkanon. It has plenty of details that we might find interesting and/or unexpected, but in the end, "crazy person who was Maria's friend, lives on the island, and has a love of the occult killed everyone for an insane ceremony" is the most obvious answer early on in EP1, and remains the most obvious answer throughout the whole series.
Remember the EP3 Ryuukishi, who gave us a half-dozen plot twists in the last few chapters of each game? I find it hard to believe that game's biggest twist is supposed to be which one of the servants was actually the ringleader.

Of course, then there's the meta-world and the magic scenes that couldn't have been part of them anyway so I'll have to agree with you regardless. Only slight modifications by Itsuko then (+ discussions about the story starting from EP2)? Otherwise it'd be hard to claim that a author switch happened between EP2 and EP3 if Itsuko already wrote the first two as well.
There's another reason why I like to believe in the way Lion's world is structured, despite not having a single basis for of it: Battler didn't come back in Lion's world, where he probably neither had a relationship with Lion akin to the one he had with Shannon nor a promise; he came back in Prime (and thus causing the gameboards). If we want, we could find one conclusion, one message that Ryukishi might've wanted to tell us with EP7-Lion-gameboard layout: Battler remembered in Prime - he came back for Shannon.
Doesn't make it right or true in any form of course, but it's a "kinda happy end" that I can accept. Sadly it's hard to combine this thought with the "Nervous Wreck Battler"-theory (= the one where Battler snaps during the Prime-murder game and is the first one to shoot, hence Eva hiding the truth from Ange and Battler losing his memory when failing to cope with this in any other way) because it takes away all the basis for the murder game to happen in the first place. Still, that theory is a personal favourite of mine as well, kudos to whoever thought of it.

Of course I can't answer that, I'm not the Author afterall but your point of making up the entire of Umineko strongly reminds me of the Movie Identity from 2003.
Malcolm Rivers was a killer that awaits execution for several murders at a motel.
While awaiting execution his journal contains information about the actual truth.
A group of strangers find themselves stuck at a motel cause of a storm.
While they spend the night, they realize there is an unknown murderer present killing everyone.
All the others become worried, and Ginny runs to her room. Her husband Lou chases after her but is also murdered. Ed and Rhodes find the con, knock him out, and put Larry on duty guarding him. However, he is later found dead. Paris discovers a dead body in Larry's freezer. Larry attempts to escape in his truck, claiming he did not kill anybody. He then accidentally runs over George, killing him. Each body is accompanied by a room key, which appear to represent a countdown. The survivors tie Larry up, and as he tells them his story the others start to believe that he really did not kill anyone. Ginny and Timmy both die when their car blows up, but their bodies are nowhere to be seen. The remaining four discover that all the bodies have disappeared and that all 10 share the same birthday, and have surnames the same as US states. Paris also discovers that Rhodes is a convict as well, having killed the corrections officer transporting him and Maine across state and assumed his identity as a police officer. Rhodes attempts to kill her, but she is saved by Larry, who in turn is shot dead by Rhodes.
However here is the deal:
Malcolm suffers from a personality disorder and that all the murders occured within his mind and everyone being a personality of his.
The murders were are way to eliminate the hostile personality of the actual murders (The ones Malcolm had done in real and awaits execution for) to save him from execution.
In the end only Paris survived but inside Malcolms mind, she now lives on a Orange Grove and finds her Motel Key on the floor just like with the other victims and finds Timmy behind her revealed to be the actual hostile personality having orchestrated the murders faking his own death within Malcolms minds killing Paris and taking over Malcolm.
Incidentally, Timmy took over when Malcolm was being driven to a Mental Insitution strangling his psychiatrist causing the van to get in an accident leaving his fate unknown.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese community would have a different opinion just based on them having a more accurate set of reds.
The Nanjo thing stems from his interpretation of Genji, Kumasawa, and Nanjo are not killers, spoken in EP4 about the 6th-8th twilights in EP1. He considers it a "general statement" so it applies across all games. So basically it's more a matter of it fitting Nanjo's condition of not being a killer than to fitting Kanon's condition of still being alive.
But yeah, it's still pretty awful. And you're spot on about his second theory. It's even worse.
Logistical reasons to believe pre-incident authorship:
1) Bribing the police should be pretty difficult.
Thematic reasons to believe pre-incident authorship:
1) Eva, who survives in the real world, dies in both of the bottle-stories.
2) Beatrice is supposed to be dead by all magical accounts.
Logistical reasons to believe post-incident authorship:
1) Battler's return was predicted.
2) Ange's absence was predicted.
3) The typhoon was predicted.
4) An accident was predicted. (Well, this just means that either the author is the actual culprit, or it was written after the tragedy)
Thematic reasons to believe post-incident authorship:
1) The way I see it, this situation is kind of like a closed room, except it's bound by points in time rather than physical windows and doors. So I see debating whether these logistical conditions allow the author enough time to write... as similar to debating how long the chain is on a closed room and whether it allows someone to lock it or unlock it from the outside. But knowing how Beatrice rolls, the answer has nothing to do with the chain and everything to do with the witnesses: In this case, it's that random fisherman that found the one bottle and the police that released the other.
So yeah, I believe in post-incident authorship. A lot of people here do, though not everyone.
I wonder if these two ideas can be grafted together.

Didn't even think about EP1's TP for this... how they are all happily discussing their current predicament until Battler forces their death...

The Influenza Epidemic of 1918-19
According to the National Archives, the influenza epidemic, also called the Spanish Flu, of 1918 killed more people than World War I and within one year dropped the average lifespan by 12 years in the U.S. The first outbreak occurred in spring 1918 and was not too severe. It was called the "three-day fever" and few deaths were reported. When it resurfaced in the fall, the disease was more severe, causing some victims to die within a few hours of getting their first symptoms. Young adults were among the hardest hit groups. My sister said the PBS documentary said that the reason was that this flu caused immune systems to be over-reactive, and since young adults already had very active immune systems (when compared to young children or the elderly), this put them in a worse position.
I did a search in my Legacy Family Tree database of all people who had a death date after 1917 and before 1920. I came up with one definite influenza victim and another possible one.
The definite victim was Louise Elizabeth (Plonkey) Kelly McNamara. Louise was the great-aunt of my uncle, James "Jim" Chamberlain. She was the older sister of his maternal grandmother, Alma Albertine Plonkey. Louise was born 16 Mar 1885 in either Wallaceburg or Dover Township in Kent County, Ontario, to Francois Xavier "Frank" Plonkey and Philomene Demers. She was the 7th of 11 children born to Frank and Philomene. She married Phillip Kelly, son of James Kelly and Bridget Walsh, on 26 Feb 1902 in Wallaceburg, at the age of 16. It seems that she and Phillip either divorced or he died, because she was married to James McNamara and living in Cleveland, Ohio, at the time of the 1910 U.S. Census. They had two sons, John McNamara, age 7, and Bart McNamara, age 5. It is hard to make out, but it looks like James worked as a huckster, which is someone who sells small articles, usually of cheap or shoddy quality, or one engaged in making bargains or haggling. Unfortunately, eight years later, on 6 Dec 1918, at age 33, Louise succumbed to the pneumonia brought about by the influenza epidemic. Here is a copy of her death record found in the "Ohio Deaths 1908-1953" database at FamilySearch Labs.
The possible victim was my great-great-uncle, Orville Joseph Pemberton. Orville was born 17 Apr 1918 in New Baltimore, Macomb, Michigan, to Lovell Hugh Pemberton and Alvina Lesperance. He was the younger brother of my great-grandfather, John Vital "Jack" Pemberton, who was born ten years earlier in 1908. Orville died 23 Mar 1919 at the age of 11 months in Marine City, St. Clair, Michigan. According to his death record, he died of spinal meningitis. I looked at a handwritten family history passed down to me from my maternal uncle and noticed that it had "five or six crosses - flu epidemic at St. Clair" written next to Orville's death date. So I have to wonder if the spinal meningitis was brought on by the influenza. I'm assuming the five or six crosses are a memorial to the deaths from the flu epidemic. I have put a query on the St. Clair County message board at Rootsweb to find out if this memorial still exists.
So there you have it! My family tree within the larger context of the worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918.
4 comments:
I also have relatively young relatives that seemed to drop off the face of the earth. A few were in the 1910 and not there in 1920. This gives me an idea of where to search now.ReplyDelete
Fascinating post. I, too, am interested in the influenza epidemic and found at least one relative - Alice Floyd Ezell Bibb, a first cousin twice removed - who died on the same day as her husband in this epidemic, and this was only one of many tragedies this family experienced (did a post on them on my blog). It must have been horrifying to see people fall victim to this illness so suddenly.ReplyDelete
A most interesting post. I have not checked to see if the Spanish Flu took any of my family tree members, but when I was photographing a The Hampton Cemetery in Hampton Township, in Pittsburgh, PA, I found numerous people that died in that time span. As I added them to findagrave I wondered what in the world killed so many folks in the same area within the same time span. You have answered my question. THANKS!ReplyDelete
Wow! I am so excited that everyone found this post fascinating and informative! I first heard about the epidemic from Miriam Robbins Midkiff's "Ancestories" blog when she wrote her WWI series. Then when my sister said she was interested, I thought it may be worth checking out how such a large epidemic affected our family tree.ReplyDelete

A while back, John Plenzler shared a number of photos with me. In a document with the photos, he explained that he believed this photo to be of the Przybylski brothers–the sons of Frances Rochowiak and Andrew Przybylski. However, Frances and Andrew had only four sons that I am aware of and can document: Frank, John, Joseph, and Stanislaw. Here is the photo that needs some identification. There is no date for the photo. Click the photo for a larger, high-res version.
Frank Przybylski is the third from left, back row. Joseph Przybylski is at the left, bottom row. It is possible that John Przybylski is bottom row, last on right. Can anyone identify the other gentlemen? Date of the photo unknown. May be a wedding photo. Stanislaw died in 1919 due to an industrial accident. Might Stanislaw be in this photo?
With this post, I also realized that I have never written up any documentation for Joseph Przybylski. Coming soon.
If anyone has any insight or information, leave a comment here or drop me an email and I'll follow up.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — From her black handbag — Hermes, crocodile, "It's a very simple and democratic brand," she'll have you know — the wife of Evgeni Plushenko fished out a banner and unfurled it.
"My heart is with you!" it said in pink letters, below a photo of the happy couple canoodling, noses touching.
Ahhh. Ain't that sweet?
Pink. The same color as Yana Rudkovskaya's fur hat. "Chanel, winter collection," she volunteered, even though you hadn't asked. And the grey coat? "Louis Vuitton," she replied. Really? So she undid the buttons and peeled it off, to show the label on the inside. How dare one doubt.
All this was unfolding in the "mixed zone," the pit (for lack of a better word) in the bowels of arenas and stadiums where reporters get to ask questions of Olympians and where Plushenko was holding court.
It's extremely unusual for partners to join the mixed-zone fun. But then again, Plushenko isn't just anyone; in Russia, he's practically royalty.
And, lest we forget, "I am very famous. I am top three in Russian woman," volunteered Rudkovskaya, a music producer. She fished out one of her two mobile phones to show a picture of their baby son posing — being posed, actually — with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach. He's Alexander, she said. "Like Alexander the Great. The best name for a man in Russia. It's very strong, also very lucky."
Then she unclipped the black plastic cover off her IPhone. It has her husband's likeness on it in white. "For you, little present," she said, plopping it in the hand of this reporter, who proceeded to explain that he couldn't accept gifts from people he covers. "No, no," she said. "I have more."
Then, realizing that this reporter would not bend, she took it back and gave it instead to a Russian reporter. She yelped in delight.
