This coming Saturday is the date for the 2007 Soggy Bottom 100. I spent most of the summer swinging wildly between definitely entering this race and definitely not entering this race. Somehow, I ended up at the latter extreme. It is probably a good thing. It's still travel money I don't need to spend; vacation time that could probably be better used elsewhere. That doesn't change the fact that I'm feeling remorse right now about blowing it off ... that last big gasp for my 2007 season, now nothing more than a whimper.
From an athletic perspective, it's hard for me to think of 2007 as anything more than a small disaster: a disappointing showing at my "A" race in mid-February, followed by months and months of chronic injury and immobility that dogged me throughout my mellow, competition-free summer. It's disappointing because I felt like I had a good thing going after 2006. I even entered a 24-hour solo race before I realized they were supposed to be one of the most difficult events out there, then came within just a few minutes of making it to the overall podium (I know what you're thinking. "Really? Her?" It's true, but Anchorage never gets a huge showing for these races.) Still, for the first time in my life, I felt like I had a shot at being competitive at an athletic pursuit. It was a great feeling after years of feigning illness during the presidential fitness tests and hiding my shame as I waited to be picked last for the softball team.
Then the 2007 season came and went, and suddenly I feel like I have not much to show for it. This remorse has stoked my competitive fire for 2008 even more ... to devote my free time from mid-October on to training and studying (yes, studying) for the Iditarod Invitational 350. I want to put in the smartest, strongest effort I have to give. Then, if I survive that, I'd like coordinate my summer vacation with a good endurance race - maybe the Kokopelli Trail Time Trial if such a thing is organized this year, or Trans Iowa V.4 (I do love the Midwest). Maybe I'll even find a 24-hour solo race where I can actually compete with other women (I'm trying to think beyond hamster races, but I really do like 24s. It seems everything about them plays to my strengths, and the sheer repetition snuffs out a lot of my weaknesses.)
What to do next year? Where to go? It's exciting to formulate plans. However, if I am to survive the ride to McGrath, I'm going to have to treat this February race like it's my one and only. If it ends up like the 2007 Susitna 100 did, it will be.

Larry Birkhead: Howard K. Stern WILL Submit to DNA Testby Mischalova at . Comments
Now that Anna Nicole Smith is resting peacefully, it looks as though her daugher may finally do so in the arms of her real father.
After all, a smiling Larry Birkhead emerged from Los Angeles County Superior Court earlier today, where he asked a judge to make Howard K. Stern come to California and submit to DNA testing to determine exactly who Dannielynn Hope's papa truly is.
Birkhead's lawyer, Debra Opri, said she was confident that Stern would be made to come to California, and she also said that Stern "can't hide behind a fake birth certificate" and that his "feet will be held to the fire."
Ron Rale, Stern's attorney, spoke just after Opri, and revealed that Stern, Birkhead, and South Carolina businessman Ford Shelley met privately in his hotel room (without him) but said that no deal resulted.
And Rale clarified that no deal has been made to exchange paternity for part of Dannielynn's future inheritance, saying that Birkhead isn't even named in the will.
Birkhead, for his part, said, "I'm just doing what I have to do for my daughter," and that for him, holding Dannielynn in the Bahamas "was like being in the delivery room."
In the end, Larry is obviously the father. This fact is more apparent to us than how popular Jason Wahler will be in the prison shower.

Good site
Good luck the web designer.
Im just waiting for the results. I am honestly worried that the reason Stern does not want to submit and why Anna fought it was b/c Birkhead nor Stern are the father. If that comes out now then V. Arthur (the one person she said she did not want to touch her child) would get custody. Didnt ANS say that we would be surprised at who the father was long before all of this became such a media frenzy?
Go Larry, I believed it was you from the ghetto.
I never have to look at Stern and his entourage of evil people.
You people need to get a life. How can you possibly know other peoples business. Once they take a test you will know until then get over yourselves lead your own lives and stop fretting over others problems. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
It amazes me that people still believe HKS is holding on to the child out of of love. He is doing it because he is broke. He lived off of Anna (he admitted that in court) and now that she is gone, he needs the baby to continue living scott free. He is so broke, he said he had to borrow money from his parents to travel back and forth to florida for the court hearings. When all is said and done, you will see that love has nothing to do with it. If the child was broke, he would have given it away the day Anna died. The only person that claimed to be the father of the baby before her death was Birkhead. He wasnt after the money. HKS put his name on the birth certificate to keep a hold on Anna. That was his meal ticket. Now that Anna is gone, the child is .....wake up...the fact is, that child is in danger...he has already ask for money in exchange for the paternity test. Would you sell a child you loved so dearly?
howard is doing what he is for love for his wife and child. weather or not he is bioligically the father or not does not honestly matter. in his heart he is and hopefully it will be so....who is anyone to deny a child or anyone else love from anyone. my son has a bioligacal father who has little to do with him. his daddy loves him very much and even though him and i are divorced, he still loves our son and sees him often. i dont feel that taking him away from my son is right. he was only 3 when we divorced, but how can any good parent or person take away a loving parent?? weather or not bioligy the parent, love is what makes a parent!! roch on howard. keep your daughtor and never let her go. no matter what happens, love her always and she will always be yours.....
Howard should be arrested and charged with kidnapping and anyone involved also. What disgusting lawyers to use a child and deny this baby whom she belongs too for what..money, their client. This is a disgrace. An innocent helpless baby a pawn of negotiations of lawyers and clients.

Whether it's in D.C., New Orleans or here at home, the EDC is always on the mission to aggressively attract, retain and grow jobs for the Metro Orlando region. Here is a sampling of where we've been the last few weeks.
Rick Weddle, President and CEO, flew to Washington, D.C. with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Tom Baptiste, Executive Director of the National Center of Simulation, to meet with Representative John Mica and Central Florida's legislative delegation. The duo were there to represent Team Orlando, the group of military commands based in Orlando, and to discuss the effect of sequestration and the potential impact of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) cuts that could happen in 2015. They stressed the importance of Orlando's strong defense industry and its unique collaborative environment. Both then appeared on WFTV's "Central Florida Spotlight" program talking about the effects of sequestration. Click here to view the episode.
Holly Wiedman, Executive Vice President of Business Development, spent time in New Orleans, La., for the Site Selectors Guild Conference, the largest gathering of site consultants (who advise businesses on new location decisions) in the world.
Back home in Metro Orlando, the EDC:
- Attended City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer's (left) annual "State of the City" address on the heels of the mayor's 10 year anniversary as mayor of Orlando.
- Attended the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce's annual State of Seminole County hosted in partnership with the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners. The event highlighted Seminole County's past achievements, present successes and future opportunities and plans.
- Attended GrayRobinson's Community Leader Forum featuring Lake County Chairman Leslie Campione.
- Helped wish Bill McDermott (right with Commissioner Carlton Henley), former Seminole County Director of Economic Development, a happy retirement. The EDC was there to help thank Bill for his more than 10 years of service to Seminole County.
- Hosted the Leadership Class of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce to discuss how the EDC works with the local and national media to promote Metro Orlando as a business destination.
- Attended the welcoming celebration for the new Kissimmee/Osceola Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dave Nolan (left).

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Do not listen to parents describe what a school is like. They get the propoganda that is fed to them by the school. Take it from an actual student, this place is no where near as top notch as they like to think. Pathetic sports with overly demanding coaches, administration that cares about their bottom line more than the well being of the students, security guards picked straight out of the nursing home, food that prisoners at dupage county jail eat (literally, same company provides for both institutions) watered down academics because "every kid is an honors kid" and teachers that are overpayed in proportion to how much they actually do. Not to mention the pure wastefulness of the funds. There is a smart board in nearly every classroom, over $5000 a pop. And you know what the teachers do with them? Pull down the projector screens in front of them because they are so buggy and inefficient that it's better to just use handouts and projector screens. This is a miserable place to be and nobody should be fooled by the smoke and mirrors the administration puts up. I hated every second of my experience at glenbard south.
The school is very very focused on kids in the honors and AP classes only
I am an alum from around 2007-2010 grad year (prefer to stay anonymous). Honestly, this school is a small school so therefore it is what you make it. If you are a motivated student who wants to do well and wants to get along with teachers and hang out with the right people you will do well. That's why I am currently doing very well in the real world. However, if you have some needs beyond being self motivated (not that you are a bad kid) then this might not be for you. Not all kids are mature enough to be able to do this. As the community around this area is relatively well off, there are certain limitations with that, but there are certain benefits. I enjoyed high school overall (although I seriously disliked some teachers and some aspects, but who doesn't?). As far as public schools go this is a great one. Also, security is minimal because it doesn't need to be better. Its a great area and there is a certain trust with students and teachers. Lastly, I agree with the person who discussed the separation between honors and regular. Honors students are regarded above the "regular" kids, which creates an environment in which high performers are rewarded (AKA just like the real world).
Small class sizes, experienced teaching and admin staff, caring community and family friendly, safe environment.
My daughter didn't like it much there, staff wasn't friendly at all, had a horrible experience with this school
I have the distinct honor of being a Glenbard South alumni as well as a parent. As a product of this small but proud school, I was thrilled to be able to find a home in the area so my sons could have that same opportunity. Smaller class sizes offer more one on one teaching if necessary and tons of AP class options. Excellent teachers, a caring and involved principal, along with a challenging academic program is what makes Glenbard South such a fantastic school! I honestly don't believe my son would've been able to get an academic scholarship to the University of Illinois without having the benefits of academic rigor this school instilled in him.
I teach there, and I think the students, staff and community are fantastic!
Pros: Stellar academics (particularly for honors/AP track), active extracurriculars, flexible course choice, personal attention due to small size Cons: Athletics are lackluster, somewhat cliquish, honors and regular kids divided socially, administration considers students' views little when making decisions. Overall, it's a good school. I'm glad I went here.
The honors program is so diluted, my daughter is getting bad grades from pure boredom. Not a good idea for anyone who's kids are involved in the honors program.
This school is amazing!!!! the teachers are very nice, they help out, and you can talk to them about any problems that you are having.
As far as schools go, i think gshs is a good one, although it may be lacking in a few areas, it's a small school which is nice, it's in a safe location and it's well rounded in many aspects as far as having a variety of sports, clubs, and classes. As a student there i must say i rather enjoy it.
i love this school, i'm a freshmen and it's honestly is a great school with amazing teachers
horrible at sports< not even close to good edcation< very poor standards and doesnt have alot off money availible for broading studentences expectations.
Honestly, this school isn't exactly the best place on earth like these parents say. They don't attend the school. But I did. I hated it, personally. I mean, it was alright to some extend but I much rather attend a different highschool. The security is horrible. I know a little birdie who snuck her boyfriend in the school and he got by with 5 classes. What does that tell you about the security? And might I add...they police offers are mainly over 50. What coul they do when there is a crisis? Nothing.
Great high school. There is a lot of division between the honors and regular kids. If you are not honors don't plan on being challenged to much. The school caters to the honors kids. If you are in any honors classes or AP classes you can really go places. If are just a 'regular' student you still have many opportunities, but you're on your own.
Scholastically top notch. My children diid well as a result of the programs directives.
This is a fantastic school. It offers a variety of classes, including a wider-than-usual selection of AP classes. The music program is exceptional, and academic excellence is stressed. Glenbard South is a very competative school for a public high school, and dozens of academically-based clubs and after-school activities are great suppliments to the already fantastic leaning environment.
This is a wonderful school with amazing teachers and students. My daughter was a new student last year and she made friends amazingly fast being that she is so shy. The teachers were wonderful at helping her catch up seeing as we moved with only seven weeks of school left. She felt very welcome and had wonderful grades thanks to the fabulous staff at Glenbard South. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone.

The Expendables are back and this time it's personal…
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time – six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.
That is done the Expendables way….
Film informationGenre: Action
Director Simon West certainly knows how to throw a party up on the silver screen. When you look at The Expendables 2 lineup of superstars, it truly is dizzying. Virtually every 1980s action movie star is represented here and imagining that happening back then boggles the mind. These days it boils down to a joke. While The Expendables 2 might be a joke, it is a funny and entertaining one.
Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Chuck Norris collectively represent about a quad zillion dollars at the gate throughout their careers. While The Expendables 2 is not likely to match those numbers, it is certainly going to make a fortune.
Where else would you find Chuck Norris single-handedly eliminating an entire squad? You hear about these things all over the Internet but you rarely get to witness them firsthand. While Chuck mows them down, Stallone, Schwarzenegger and the boys take on entire countries. (Okay so I'm joking about an entire country but these guys really could do that if they wanted to, right?)
The Expendables 2 is very much the same movie that we saw the first time around but with different scenery. There is little effort to cover up the shallow plot, and it almost feels as though it is paying homage to the horrible storylines from the past. The bottom line to this movie clearly is about who has the biggest guns, funniest jokes and largest biceps. It is testosterone fueled action from start to finish and makes no apologies about the inside jokes scattered throughout.
In this particular version of The Expendables, the boys chase down stolen plutonium all the way over in Albania. Jean-Claude Van Damme as the bad guy is as cool and ruthless as they get. Jean-Claude is still incredible and plays the villain fantastically.
Liam Hemsworth joins the cast but gets very little screen time. Yu Nan also heats up the screen as the female of the flick, but she is not given much space either in this dude-fest. The movie is clearly about one major thematic idea; blow up as many things as possible and in increasingly dramatic ways. For this film it appears that Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger do this just about as well as Rambo…errr… Sylvester Stallone. In fact, if you close your eyes and listen, it is fairly easy to put yourself right back into the 1980s.
The Expendables 2 is absolutely loaded with clichés and catchphrases that we have all heard 1 million times. Despite this familiarity, or perhaps because of it, The Expendables 2 fits like a glove. You can't help but to smile at these over the hill action heroes flying around the screen saying the same old things. Action films from the 80s have a very specific look and feel and their heroes are required to be replete with cheesiness. Anything short of this would be disappointing for the types of guys that are going to love The Expendables 2.
Are there problems with The Expendables 2? Of course there are. The storyline has more holes than Swiss cheese and the reality factor is nonexistent. The characters are larger than life yet we know absolutely nothing about them. The action scenes are completely unbelievable and the blood and guts quotient are off the charts. All of the movie stars are over the hill and seem to say the same things in different ways over and over again.
Then again, those are all the reasons why we love The Expendables 2 so much. Perhaps this movie is perfection in its own way. Although this is the second time that all these movie stars have gotten together, I am reasonably certain that it won't be the last.
The Expendables 2 is simply too much fun to do only once or twice.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs Disses College Student -- 'Leave Us Alone'
It was the cybershot heard 'round the world.
"Please leave us alone," Apple's CEO Steve Jobs fired off in an email to Chelsea Isaacs, left, a senior in the journalism department at Long Island University, this week.
Just what got him so hot and bothered?
While working on a paper about the application of the iPad in academic settings, Isaacs had contacted Apple's Media Relations department for comment. When they failed to get back to her in time for her deadline, she appealed directly to Jobs -- known to respond to random customers personally from time to time.
And did he ever.
First he informed Isaacs that he couldn't help her: "Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade, sorry," wrote Jobs.
Isaacs appealed again, via email: "I never said that your goal should be to get me a good grade. I merely asked why your media relations department won't respond to emails," she wrote.
"We have over 300 million users, and we can't respond to their requests unless they involve a problem of some kind," replied Jobs.
"Number one, I am one of your 300 million users, and number two, I do have a problem," reasoned Isaacs. "I need answers that only Apple's media relations department can provide."
That's when she got the Big Apple of brush-offs.
After the jump, we see the excellent advice Jobs previously gave college students -- advice Isaacs was actually following.
In a commencement address he gave at Stanford in 2005, Jobs describes his unwed mother putting him up for adoption, in the hopes that a college-educated couple would be the ones to raise him. Fast forward 18 years.
Jobs enrolls in Reed College, a school he describes as "as expensive as Stanford," only to drop out six months later, feeling guilty, he says, about what the tuition was costing his adoptive parents.
Instead, after dropping out, he took classes ad hoc, signing up for electives he wanted to take, like calligraphy -- a move Jobs described in the commencement address as nothing short of prescient:
"Much of what I stumbled into, following my curiosity and intuition, turned out to be life-changing. Because I had dropped out and didn't take the normal classes, I took a calligraphy class. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle. None of this had a hope of any practical application in my life, but 10 years later, when we were designing a Mac, it all came back to me ... If i had never dropped out, I would never have dropped in on that calligraphy class and personal computers wouldn't have all of the fonts that they have today."
Good advice if we've ever heard it. By following her curiosity and intuition, Isaacs landed nothing short of a poison-pen letter from Apple's CEO and a segment on "Good Morning America" -- in other words, the scoop of the week. Not too shabby for a not-yet-graduated journalist.
Too bad the biggest effect Jobs' email will likely have is a black mark on Apple's public image.
Will Jobs' reaction affect whether you buy an iPhone? Why or why not?
PS - Yes, the emails are real! See them in Chelsea Isaac's Open Letter to Steve Jobs

Wouldn't you think, given that he's living on borrowed time, that Steve would be a little more of a humanitarian? If anything, since he started renting that new liver, he's been a profound jacka$s. Wasn't Apple's mantra always about railing against the Dark Side? Dude, you ARE the Dark Side.

I'm sure Steve Jobs could have just forwarded her email to Apple Media Relations department with a quick apology. Then it would have got answered with less than a sentence typed!
Sounded like he just wanted to be a dick.

By daveconrey
The question at the end of this article is a bit non-sequitor, but to answer truthfully, no, his comment has no bearing on my decision whether to buy Apple products or not. He might be a douche, but he's a brilliant douche and I love Apple products in general. The only thing that would keep my from upgrading my iphone is AT&T and their crappy service.

By Cody
This is what separates good companies from bad companies, and under Jobs the last few years Apple has become a bad company. They make good products and are doing very well, but their reputation is going to crap, and most of it comes straight from Jobs mouth or from his fingers.

vanessa Chiang "... he's running a company not a charity"
That's true and if he had forwarded the girls letter onto the media relations department her letter would take priority, pulling them away from doing their jobs and costing the company money. I wonder how much it would cost Apple to "help her get a good grade." What is this question that a college student couldn't answer through some research?
I'll just stick with my Android phone.

Who is Carrie Sloan and how can a writer be this biased? This story was the "scoop of the week"?
I commend the guy for telling this chick to buzz-off. Seriously, apple is a consumer electronics company not a nanny!
I don't particularly like Steve Jobs but I respect the man big time. He's an angry genious-type and always has been. I don't mean this as a personal slam to Chelsea Isaacs, but Steve's done more and accomplished more in his life than she ever will. Or for that matter, me. Or you or 99.9% of the people on the planet.
For the record, I do own an iPhone but am a windows/PC user.

steve jobs a genius...are you serious...apple is the fisher price of the consumer electronics world.... It's products are meant for people who cant think for themselves. All apple is good for is hype and public relations spin. So in this case helping his company's image is job 1 (pun intended) which would have been furthered by helping her out. So ifl all apple is about is image...not actual substance, not helping her out he's tarnished his company's image and is failing as a ceo

By Fiachra
People on her side, are you kidding me?
She was writing an essay on using the iPad!!! Why should anyone have to comment. Any company's media relations department has much much better things to do that contribute to an undergraduate essay. One person (her professor) will skim read it and is unlikely to care if she got a quote from Apple.
Jobs was spot on in what he said.
Monday 27 September
By Todd
What was the question she asked Apple? Did she want them to state how the iPad could be used in education? Isn't that what she was supposed to determine on her own?
So basically, she was given an assignment and then went to the "teacher" for all the answers and Apple said....do it yourself.
I have no problem with the response other than it could have been put nicer.

An email sent from my father to Steve Jobs got Apple's corporate policy changed on the apple store. Mr. Jobs was nothing but cordial.
So I'm going to say we're not seeing the whole picture here.

It is the Media Relations job to answer press questions (regardless of the size of the media), that's all they are paid to do. The bigger question is if it really was a waste of time why answer it at all? That would typically be the silicone valley I'm too busy response.
The fact that he took the time to respond rudely just shows that he's losing his edge as a CEO. I'm just hoping the stock-holders can see past the Steve Jobs myth and realize that what makes Apple is the creative people who work there.
Monday 27 September
By Hank R. Ing
I find it startling how people can call Jobs "brilliant" and still try to be seen as non biased.
Swap Jobs and Issacs. If she would have given a young Jobs the time of day I assume Jobs believes he would have become less of a person. The guy is an ass and he IS the evil giant he wanted others to rally against when he was younger.
Apple has become a toy company, plain and simple.
Their newest editions are barely better than their previous incantations. Why make them stellar when you can nickle and dime your followers into dropping fresh cash each step of the way.

I agree with all the comments saying Apple has become they very thing they used rally against.
Their entire purpose was to get away from the "Big Brother" types of business.
However, they've become that same big brother that they were fighting
For example, you can only use the iphone with itunes (another apple product)
and they moderate the appstore, only allowing the apps they like, blocking the ones from their competitors)
Actually, come to think of it, Apple's entire business model comes from creating something amazing.. then stripping it of all its amazingness..
then putting those things back and calling them "next generation"
If you dont believe me look at the ipad..
specifically, they had the tech to put in a camera and multitasking (they already developed it for the iphone)
but instead what we got was an over sized ipod touch. And sure as hell a few months later they roll out with a software update giving you multitasking.. and you can bet that the next generation ipad will have cameras.

What a crock!
You call the PR department of a company to help you do your senior thesis and they don't answer, so what do you do, try to find other sources of information or modify your research project, Noooo, you email the CEO and tell him that his PR department are not very nice.
He lady if you have problems with your Ipad, contact Apple, otherwise get a life. Job was spot on the money on that one. She has lots of nerve to contact the CEO of the company for help in reaching the PR department.
What an idiotic thing to do

Wouldn't you think, given that he's living on borrowed time, that Steve was right to tell her to try google and wikipedia so that he can get on with what's left of his life? Being rich and famous shouldn't mean you have to give a hj to everybody who looks at you cockeyed- even if she's: pretty (CHECK, see gratuitous photo), young (CHECK, see photo), and a fellow journalist (CHECK). If the requester was some random joe off the street this wouldn't even be a story, she's lucky she got a reply at all.

The Bond Between Humans and Animals
The bond between humans and animals is extremely strong in our society today. Pets have been proven to ease loneliness, lengthen life, reduce stress and enhance recovery from illness. Pets fill a very important role in making humans feel needed and can promote an atmosphere of spontaneous play and laughter.
We place a high social value on our animals; and today's pet owners want the very best medical care for their pets, just as they do for other members of their families. That's the power of the human-animal bond.
The quality of veterinary care is available to meet the demand.Pet owners and their pets also have a very strong bond with their veterinarians, who have the special skills necessary to assist pet owners in caring for their animal family member. Since your pet cannot tell the veterinarian what is wrong, it takes skill, training, and knowing your animal family member to guide proper care and diagnosis.
When diagnosis indicates a need for specific expertise, it is now possible to be referred to a veterinarian specialist who has devoted him/herself to a particular area of study or research.
In the past 30 years, the growth of veterinary specialties and the application of "high tech" medical procedures have been dramatic. Modern veterinary medicine can provide sophisticated treatments such as ultrasound and MRIs.
This trend has significantly increased the range of treatments and services available and has improved the overall level of care. Services such as hip replacement, dental work, and radiation therapy are widely available now. The CVMA membership includes board certified specialists in:

Redskins should change name
There are many Indians in the United States, a number of whom are American citizens. But they are not the ones who are offended by the use of the term Redskins for a sports team. Native Americans have weighty reasons to be offended. The Free Press editor [June 20], seems to find this humorous, indulging himself in what he considers an argument ad absurdum reciting the names of other teams that might offend other groups. (He thinks his suggestion that Mad Hatters may offend the mentally ill is funny, but this is almost as crude and reprehensible as the offense in chief.) The legacy of the relations between European colonists and Native Americans is one of brutality, murder, betrayal and theft. The ethnic cleansing committed in modern Europe is not more horrifying, Nothing can erase that shameful history. The least white Americans can do is not to expropriate the identity of the first Americans for commercial purposes, nor sneer at the pain it causes. If Native Americans resist being abused in this way, decent people will acquiesce graciously. It is not for the Free Press editor to say they are misinformed or unreasonable.
Veterans Administration problems need resolution
We must be asking ourselves, "What's next?" Wars seem to have no stopping place, with crime and violence getting worse every day. The Veterans Administration has all kinds of problems, with no end in sight. I know of a veteran who was given a medical discharge during the Vietnam War due to a heart problem and has had a service-connected backlog claim filed for over five years. Since then he almost passed away and now has a defibrillator implanted in his chest. He does not intend to give up his fight for his service-connected disability benefits. It also took me five years to get my Social Security disability and VA benefits. This veteran was given Social Security disability benefits in less than a month and therefore didn't expect to have problems with the Veterans Administration, but as the readers of this fine newspaper know, it's nothing new, with many other serious problems with the VA, the worst being veterans passing away waiting for their hard-earned health care and not getting it. These veterans have to be wondering and asking, "Is this fair?" Of course the answer is no. Hopefully, the problems will be resolved very soon.

What's wrong with America
Here are 10 things that are wrong with America: seeing the America I love going to the dogs; people telling me I came from a monkey; the global warming crowd; infanticide being called a choice; sexual perversion being called marriage; free speech advocates restricting speech; power-mad politicians; oblivious, uneducated voters; the "we're all going to heaven" crowd; Christians who won't unite and take a stand! Number 1 is the problem. Number 10 is the solution.
What's wrong with America
Here are 10 things that are wrong with America: seeing the America I love going to the dogs; people telling me I came from a monkey; the global warming crowd; infanticide being called a choice; sexual perversion being called marriage; free speech advocates restricting speech; power-mad politicians; oblivious, uneducated voters; the "we're all going to heaven" crowd; Christians who won't unite and take a stand! Number 1 is the problem. Number 10 is the solution.
As usual the Fundy-NutZ get it wrong.
"people telling me I came from a monkey;"
You may have come from a monkey; I don't know your parents. But the explanation of evolution doesn't say that. It says you share a common ancestor with other primates.
"the global warming crowd;"
Temperatures have risen. That's a fact. Get your head out of the sand or lower warm body orifice.
"infanticide being called a choice;"
Infanticide is the killing of live babies as Jehovah had his people do throughout the Old Testament. Abortion is the removal of a fetus. Science isn't your strong suite, is it?
"sexual perversion being called marriage;"
Your sexual acts may be perverted, but marriage is not connected to sex except in the mind of Fundy-NutZ. To normal people it's a recognized union of two people through a civil action.
"free speech advocates restricting speech;"
Because public schools won't allow creationism taught as science and Christianity isn't allowed to proselytize in public schools and government? When can people come to your Sunday School and teach your children about evolution, science, atheism, and mythology? Are you denying those teachers free speech?
"power-mad politicians;"
You mean the religious right Christian Crusaders? Huckabee, Santorum, Palin? Those that insist on more wars like McCain and Graham?
"oblivious, uneducated voters;"
Like ignorant, anti-science, anti-intellectual Fundy-NutZ?
"the "we're all going to heaven" crowd;"
Like ignorant, anti-science, anti-intellectual Fundy-NutZ who think they're all going to heaven?
"Christians who won't unite and take a stand!"
You mean the type of religiously inbred, slow-witted, blinder-wearing Christians just like you? Please, take a seat. Your religious tripe has lasted too long, hasn't worked, and never will. Keep it in your churches and homes, but out of public schools and government.
The solution is to get your head out of ancient myths and take a look at reality without your Jesus and Jehovah goggles. There is no need of imaginary gods whether it's Jehovah, Allah, or Zeus. Read a book besides the BIble and BIll O'Reilly. Turn off Billy Graham and John Hagee and watch COSMOS.
I know it will be scary to think for a change, but that's how progress is made.
What's wrong with America? I'd say it's more on the side of the willfully ignorant, science-deniers. Larry Gordy, to say you came from a monkey would be an insult to monkeys. Do some actual research on evolution and the mountains of collaborative evidence that backs it up. To me, it's a very spiritual feeling knowing that all life on earth is related on a grand scale.
What is that quote about a 'rose by any other name'?

As mentioned in the 'introduction the Bhagavad Gita', Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-Gita on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, just prior to the commencement of the Mahabharata war.
The armies of the Pandavas and Kauravas are assembled at Kurukshetra. Lord Krishna is driving the Pandava Prince, Arjuna's chariot. Arjuna wants to see the opponents more clearly so he requests Lord Krishna, to drive his chariot into the midst of armies. The mighty warrior Arjuna sees his friends and relatives standing on the opposite side. He is filled with compassion and remorse and looses his interest in fighting.
Arjuna feels that no good could come from the war, as it is sinful to kill one's family, under any circumstance. Arjuna casts his bow aside, seeing Arjuna's confusion, Lord Krishna starts speaking.
Those who are wise, lament neither for the living nor for dead. Everything exists eternally. Although there is always some pain in loosing loved ones, the wise undergo that pain with patience and tolerance. They push on without letting grief overwhelm and ruin their responsibilities.
Krishna reminds Arjuna that happiness comes from right action that is ones duty. Arjuna's duty as a warrior was to protect the virtuous. No unhappiness could arise from performing ones duty, even if it involved fighting.
Enlightenment, the ultimate goal, is best achieved by Wise Action in which one acts out of duty only, without personal attachment.
Arjuna asks Krishna to make it more clear whether he has to fight or to renunciate.
Krishna states, "Everyone has to engage himself in some sort of work according to his qualities. Work done can either cause bondage to the material world or it can liberate one. One may not give up work and prescribed duties all of a sudden; but by gradually developing consciousness of the Almighty. One can find oneself in a transcendental position without being influenced by the material senses by steady intelligence directed toward one's pure identity".
Krishna also instructs Arjuna to fight to set the proper example of duty, to fight, but with knowledge and detachment and without falling victim to his own attractions and aversions.
He then recommends Arjuna to regulate his senses, become fixed in his pure identity as a servant of Krishna, and thereby avoid lust's control. Then, with spiritual strength and deliberate intelligence, he should conquer that forceful enemy - lust.

US unemployment dips below 8 per cent, but IT sector takes a hit
The economy in the United States added as many jobs as economists had been expecting and President Obama had been no doubt praying for, and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 per cent, the first time it has been below 8 per cent since the current Great Recession began in December 2007. The Bureau of Labor Statistics not only …
Who needs IT anyway?
Who needs IT anyway?
Only because
Lots of qualified people have had to take up part time low paid jobs, or several jobs just to make ends meet.
Re: Only because
"Lots of qualified people have had to take up part time low paid jobs, or several jobs just to make ends meet."
That's why I can't get a job., You've got four jobs, stealing one of them from me.
If the labor market did not contract...
If the labor market did not change over the past 4 years - unemployment would be approximately 11.1%
Of course, population is increasing in the United States, which means the unemployment is well over 11.1%
A picture of the jobs deficit, from a liberal news source:
Some people take issue with how bad things are - but there is no denying that the new jobs created (which were part-time and full-time) during this month does not keep up with population growth... which means the unemployment number should have gone up.
IT is just one example of a sector which has reduced employment.
Are you gullible?
The U.S. only counts people as being unemployed if they qualify for state unemployment benefits. If they have exhausted their benefits, they are no longer counted. Unemployment in the U.S. has NOT dropped and in fact the true unemployment number is above 20% when you count ALL of the unployed people, not just those who currently qualify. The number of people who have been on unemployment for years continues to grow as does the number of people who are no longer counted because they no longer qualify after years of unemployment.
These unemployment figures are intended to get Obama re-elected. Only those who fail to educate themselves on the real unemployment numbers would believe this fraudulent claim of a drop in unemployment. If you check with the U.S. Feds they will confirm that they only count those who are currently getting benefits, not ALL of those unemployed. The sheeple in America are ignorant.
Unfortunately most people in the U.S. have no clue what is actually happening. They believe the mis-information disseminated by the media who rarely ever check the facts. Only those who are currently unemployed and that have lost their home, retirement savings and are living in desperation know the real unemplyment situation in the U.S. The politicians however contnue to talk thru their arse because they are on the public dole. Life is just fine on Corruption Hill and in the Black House.
Re: Are you gullible?
That's why, eben though my dole has run out, I insist on continuing to trek into the job centre every two weeks, to ensure the statistics are realistics and avoid me "not receiving benefits" being equated to "not unemployed".
I'd rather be gullible
than a racist troll.
No it didn't
If you check the current statistics you'll find U.S. unemployment is actually above 18% when you count all the unemployed.
Re: No it didn't
And of course that is also quite liberally underestimated. How many hours a week is the minimum to be considered "employed"? Yes, I thought so.
Even Jack Welch don't believe the manipulated numbers
The age old politics of cooking the numbers for political gain.
Re: Even Jack Welch don't believe the manipulated numbers
Jack Welch couldn't be trusted if he said the sky was blue. He's an ass.
Re: Even Jack Welch don't believe the manipulated numbers
JW needs to shuffle off this mortal coil.
Re: Even Jack Welch don't believe the manipulated numbers
Jack needs to shuffle off this mortal coile. Good riddance to the demon.
U.S. government statistics are always a farce
The data acquisition methodology used by the U.S. is totally bogus. They don't actually know or care how many people are unemployed. Next month after the election they will say that last months "preliminary" statistics were a little low and they'll update them to show only a .1 % reduction from the previous month. The U.S. does this all the time. The media are just sheep who report whatever they are told. They never bother to get the true story.
Re: U.S. government statistics are always a farce
Yes. I'm sure you'd do great getting the 'true' story. If you are one of the unemployed maybe a career in media is for you. That way you can let us all know the 'truth'.
Lies, statistics and damn lies
You get it all from the politicians and government in the U.S.

Orlando, Fla.
(13-20) vs. (21-12)
Line: Magic by 10.5
Video Vault:
–Dwight Howard had his latest technical foul rescinded by the NBA today, leaving him with 11 so far this season and averting his technical foul crisis at least for a while longer.
–Gilbert Arenas has made a positive impact on the Magic, especially with his passing, since last month's trades.
–As good as Orlando has played, John Schumann of NBA.com writes the team could be even better if it can figure out how to make its starting lineup and its most used lineup more efficient offensively and defensively.
–Jason Richardson tells John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com he is ecstatic about his opportunity to play for a winning team and have his first real shot at a championship.
–JJ Redick is playing some of the best basketball of his career and it might be because he has found a very good balance in his life off the court as Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel writes.

One of the reasons that I offer this free blog on resume writing is to explain what goes into a great resume.
Another reason is to give back where I can: to help people who are trying to write their own resumes.
Free resume help is also available from the public library, many high school and college career centers, and some nonprofits.
If you are a DIY resume writer:
1. Do not let yourself get befuddled with advice. There are dozens of ways to write a good resume and all of them are valid. Limit the number of books you consult on resume writing and the number of people you ask for opinions.
2. Remember that free advice is generic advice: it does not take into account your accomplishments, your goals and the job you want. Customize your resume to you.
3. Try to see your resume through the eyes of an employer. Amateur writers tend to love and believe in everything that they write. How you feel about your resume is not half as important as how a future employer feels.
4. Do not try to "beat the system" or "stand out" by using quirky fonts, colors, keyword spam, QR codes or any other attention-getting devices. What recruiters and hiring managers want most is a resume that is clear, accurate, easy to load into an Applicant Tracking System and a match for the skills, experience and attitudes they are looking for. That is enough to concentrate on!

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS — Increasing spending to give employees a raise and repair streets, while not boosting the tax rate, are part of the proposed city budget that the City Council will vote on.City Manager Mark Hindman's budget for the year that starts Oct. 1 calls for a 3.1 percent bump in spending for day-to-day operations, from $40.7 million to $42 million. The budget for major construction projects would go up about 13 percent, from $22 million to $25 million.At the same time, Hindman is not seeking another boost in the tax rate after doing so last year, the first time in 19 years, when the rate went up 4 cents. The city can maintain the city's property tax rate at 61 cents per $100 of assessed property value largely because of expected increases in revenue from property and sales taxes, officials said. The city of 64,000 continues to grow.That doesn't mean that residents will see their property tax bill go down.Residents could still get a higher property tax bill, depending on whether their home's value increased. The net taxable value for the average North Richland Hills home increased from $122,598 in July 2012 to $125,603 in July 2013, though the average North Richland Hills home could sell for about $154,000, according to the Tarrant Appraisal District.Residents can comment on the spending plan at a public hearing tonight in the council chambers at City Hall, 7301 NE Loop 820. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.The council is expected to vote on the budget Sept. 9.Last year, the council increased the tax rate primarily to pay for the estimated $70 million City Hall complex, expected to open in December 2015. Residents approved $48 million in bonds for the project in a May 2012 election, which the city is now paying off.Highlights of the proposed budget include:• Sales tax revenue is projected to increase 4 percent next fiscal year. • City employees would receive a 2 percent raise at a cost of $414,222, with the option that the council could add 1 percentage point for a total 3 percent. Hindman said he wants to ensure that city salaries remain competitive. • City employee healthcare premiums would increase 4 percent and could go higher. The city would cover any costs above that. Hindman said the city might have to revisit that commitment if healthcare costs are significantly higher. • The city would hire a gas well inspector at a cost of about $100,000, with roughly $70,000 for his salary, to monitor the increasing number of gas wells.• The city would also buy an ambulance and its equipment at a cost of $316,609.• Road projects include $1.49 million to realign and rebuild Smithfield Road from Mid-Cities to Davis boulevards. Smithfield would intersect Davis at Bridge Street instead of near the post office. That intersection has created dangerous bottlenecks during rush hour.• An additional $1 million would be spent rebuilding Jennings Drive from Jerrie Jo Drive to Boulevard 26. The small Dude Court would be part of the project. An additional $749,976 would cover park improvements, including replacing the playground and tennis courts at Richfield Park.
If you go Residents can comment on the budget plan at a public hearing tonight in the council chambers at City Hall, 7301 NE Loop 820. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

Artist Joshua Mosleys digital-animation piece dread was well received at the Venice Biennale this past year. In the piece philosophers Pascal and Rousseau debate the nature of God and, um, nature in the woods; their discussion is aided by a cow and a giant beetle. The arrival of a man-eating dog throws everything -- the film and the philosophical ramifications of the discussion -- into a much darker place. Mosley created the resin sculptures (as well as bronze versions of the characters), animated the digital footage he himself shot and even composed the score -- now, thats commitment to personal vision. An exhibition of his video and animation work at the St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley Art Gallery (3400 Pershall Road; 314-513-4375 or www.joshuamosley.com) opens on Thursday, November 1, with a 6:30 p.m. lecture by the artist. Mosleys work remains on display through Friday, December 7; the gallery is open Monday through Saturday.
Mondays-Saturdays. Starts: Nov. 1. Continues through Dec. 7, 2007

Today the home boasts 15 flat-panel TVs, chosen specifically by the owner for their ability to produce "vibrant colors and great contrast." However, as is the case with all other electronic aspects of this house, the owner made arrangements for additional displays. In the loft area that separates the kids' bedrooms from the guest suites, there's an open cavity in the wall where a TV should be. All the necessary cabling is there, too. The problem: "My wife and I couldn't agree on whether to put a TV there," says the owner. "She wanted one; I didn't." It appears as if he finally conceded. The artwork that had been covering the opening has been removed, and she's ready to hang a flat-panel TV. There's also a spot for a TV in the in-law's suite, only in this case the wiring comes up through the floor. "The plan is to put a TV inside a cabinet at the foot of the bed and motorize it so that the TV can lift up on command from a remote," Weiner explains.
The home's Lutron HomeWorks lighting control system is also evolving. Starr Systems started by programming the system to allow the family to issue basic commands to groups of light fixtures from lowprofile Lutron keypads mounted near the entrance of each room. For now, the buttons have temporary labels. "The family wanted to 'live with the system' before committing to specific settings and engraving," says Weiner. Currently, the lights in each room are grouped together by fixture type. For example, in the dining room, there is a button that activates the chandelier, another turns on and off the sconces and another button controls the recessed ceiling fixtures.
This design works well for the family now, but the AMX and Lutron systems can be easily tweaked by Starr Systems should they choose to regroup or alter the settings of the lights to suit certain activities like entertaining, reading or relaxing.
Nowhere are changes in technology more apparent than in the world of home theater, and this home's media room was designed to keep pace with new innovations. Take the theater's Digital Projection International (DPI) Titan 3D video projector. It wasn't always in the plan. Initially, Starr Systems had specified a projector that could handle only 2D content. When 3D projectors hit the market, the owners altered the plan immediately, investing in the Titan and plenty of 3D glasses to entertain a crowd.
In addition serving up 3D movies, the DPI Titan projector shows its fair share of video games and sporting events. "One of my 13-year-old son's favorite pastimes is playing PlayStation 3 games on the big screen," says the homeowner.
Engaging a Playstation button on the home theater menu on the iPad brightens the lights and activates the gaming console, which is stowed with the rest of the home theater components in an equipment rack in the adjacent mechanical room. The family can also use the iPad to select a movie that's been stored digitally on the hard drive of a Kaleidescape media server or spin something they've rented on a Panasonic Blu-ray player, or stream from an Apple TV device. Because many movies are now filmed in a CinemaScope format, Starr Systems chose a superwide 2:35.1 screen from Da-Lite as the family's main viewing format; however, they always have the option— by touching a button on the iPad—to view a program in a narrower 1.78:1 format. The command signals motorized fabric masking panels to descend over portions of the screen to alter its shape.
Regardless of the format that's chosen, the screen is in the right position to hide the three front CT-Series B&W speakers. The screen is microperforated so audio from the speakers flows through unaffected. The remaining four B&W speakers and four subwoofers that make up the 7.1 surround-sound system are tucked behind the fabric ceiling and wall panels, which are removable in case Starr Systems needs to service or replace the equipment in the future.
Speaking of the future, there's more in store for this cutting-edge theater. First on the list is a Sony Network Media Player. This product will enable the family to stream and store movies from Internet services such as Hulu Plus, Vudu and Pandora— something the homeowner admits he thought was something only computer users did. "I now know streaming has become a serious way to get content," he says. Thankfully, the Starr Systems crew was thinking ahead when it designed the electronic systems for this award-winning house. With the right cabling in place, easy access to components and a home management system that's built for expansion, this home is ready for any technology that comes its way.

The city of Delray Beach is facing the difficult task of balancing the community's needs and desires with managing growth along East Atlantic Avenue and spurring redevelopment on West Atlantic Avenue. The upcoming election will allow voters to chose those who will shape this new vision.
Voters will have the chance to select a new mayor and two city commissioners during next Tuesday's election, a majority of the five-member commission. City Planning and Zoning Board member Alberta McCarthy is unchallenged for election to Seat 4, which is being vacated by David Randolph because of term limits.

Impatience is growing as the Dwight Howard saga rolls on. It does not take a whole lot for Magic fans to get jumpy and antsy for this thing to end. Each rumor is met with the instant reaction of knowing how important this one move will be for the Magic's immediate future.
There is impatience. Everyone wants to move on and begin building the 2013 roster (let alone the roster for the next five years).
But all the Magic have done in this free agency period has re-signed Jameer Nelson, picked up J.J. Redick's option and watched Ryan Anderson say a heartfelt good bye to the team he spent the last three years playing for.
These are all minor moves, not the major move the whole league is waiting for and that has paralyzed the Magic.
The whole Dwight Howard saga has raised several questions about Orlando as a free agent destination. This is the third star player that has simply said Orlando is not good enough. Whether it is because the team failed to build a winning team or alienated the star, Orlando has not been able to retain its star players. The players many Magic fans think could and should have their jerseys hanging in the rafters of Amway Center left bitterly.
Dwight Howard, Shaquille O'Neal, Tracy McGrady and Anfernee Hardaway (although he is not really in the same class though because injuries took away a lot of his previous skill) all left on bad terms. Then there is the other half — the Darrell Armstrongs and Nick Andersons of Magic history — who are universally loved in Magic lore.
This is the category that Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick fall into (not to the same level, but you get the point). Career starters and role players who have an undying love for Orlando. Nelson took a pay cut to stay in Orlando and secure some form of long-term future. Redick has spoken nothing but great things about Orlando and he has made it his home.
Even as Ryan Anderson signed a contract with New Orleans, leaving Orlando for now, he expressed how appreciative he was of the fans and how much he loved living in the City Beautiful:
"I'd love to just give a thank you to everybody," Anderson told Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. "I don't know how else to do it, but it was literally a pleasure living in Orlando, being around the fans. They're the best fans. Orlando's always a place that, when I go and visit, it'll be kind of like a second home. I loved it there. I couldn't have asked for anything more."
And therein lies the main crux of the question Mike Bianchi asked late last week after Jameer Nelson agreed to terms with the Magic and the Magic decided to keep Redick for the final year of his three-year deal. Why do so many stars want to leave Orlando?
That is the negative way to look at it. The positive spin: Thank goodness so many role players, so many of those players fans love to love, want to be in Orlando.
Think about it.
Darrell Armstrong played nine memorable seasons in Orlando. Nick Anderson played 10 seasons. Dennis Scott played seven for the Magic. Pat Garrity played nine years in Orlando. Bo Outlaw lasted five seasons in one stint and then another three and then came back as a community ambassador.
Nelson will enter his ninth season in Orlando and Redick will enter his seventh for Orlando. And you figure the Magic will want to keep Redick around a little longer when he becomes a free agent next summer.
Yes, some of these players played for the Magic because the team valued them more than other teams. Some lasted longer because of contracts the Magic gave. The point is, for the most part, these guys came to Orlando and stayed. And most of those names are players we generally have fond memories of. No ill will at all. And these are all guys that still talk glowingly of Orlando — the NBA Summer League broadcast started with Rick Kamla asking and Dennis Scott confirming that Scott's time in Orlando was the best seven years of his life.
The plain fact is, and this gets the team no closer to a championship for sure, role players come to Orlando and fall in love with the place. And the fans fall in love with them.
The fact that stars want to leave Orlando is not an indictment of the city. Players love coming to and moving to the city. It just does not have what the stars want. it is not a big media market and it does not have the exposure that New York or Los Angeles can provide.
Whether or not the Magic have to go through another tortuous relationship with another star player down the road is a question well worth debating. It is one we will find out the next time Orlando happens to get a star player.
There is nothing wrong with Orlando. It is a place players want to be and come to love.
There is a star that will feel that same love. We thought it would be Dwight Howard. And I think even Howard loves the city of Orlando. So too does Shaq (he still lives here after all).
At some point, Orlando will get the right personnel to convince a star to stay for the long term and commit to the city and the team.
Keep cheering hard, Magic fans.

Here's something that occurred to me the other day when I was stumbling as usual through the fiction-writing process: speculative slice of life anime and manga, even those with some emphasis on festivals, rarely include an event analogous to Christmas as manifest in the United States. This is not to say that gifts aren't given and received in fantastical and science-fictional slice of life franchises — they are, and pretty commonly — but few such franchises seem to present a holiday whose focus or impetus is the giving and receiving of gifts.

It's like the Bespin fight, with more schoolgirls
That's a Star Wars reference, for those plebians among you. Episode six of Maria-Sama ga Miteru does indeed mark not only the halfway point for the newest season, but also the darkest hour (though perhaps that's actually the next episode), in which the characters are backed against the wall. I started typing this with no clue as to where I was going, having exhausted most of the critical avenues that seemed to make much sense regarding the show — however, I have realized a look at the structure might be fun, or at least wile away time better spent on my thesis.

Haibane Renmei 5 — Renmei Harder
It's time to put this gross love-child of jam bands and pot-head philosphy majors to bed, to bed I say! Beneath the cut, live-updated, lies the twitter-blog for the final two episodes of Haibane Renmei. You should feel pretty special, I have to write a response to The Demolished Man for class tomorrow, but I'm doing this instead (eh, it's all going to be panoptic eyes and ruminations on philosopher-kings, I'll be fine).
EDIT: live-updating has ended. It is now complete, or as close to that state as I'm likely to get it.

If you're waiting for amelioration, this post has it: I find some things to like here, finally. Also, experimenting with pure twitter-blog at the end. That is, if you check, I'm actually not finished with the episode yet, and will update periodically throughout viewing.

Once more into the breach and all that jazz
Clearly we need to get a few things straightened out before we continue. If Haibane Renmei is too much of a sacred cow for you to bear seeing it made fun of, don't click through to the rest of this post. If you believe everyone must have the same tastes you do, and you love HR with a lovey-love and don't have a sense of humor, don't click through. Also, I suppose, if you're not willing to watch the trip from hatred to enjoyment, which I'm still counting on, don't click through — though, for you, waiting until the last post or two might work. All of you cool kids, with well-balanced personalities and lovable haircuts, come on in.

Tradott mill-Ingliz minn ...
You are now about to learn one of the most fascinating Dutch grammar rules: The rule regarding the connecting elements -s. Quite frankly, it is hardly worth the qualification 'rule':
we use the connecting -s in written language, if it is also used in spoken language
This is the official guideline. Even Dutch native speakers, this is far from evident. Since there is not always a 100% agreement among the more than 20 million Dutch speakers about the presence of the connecting s, some compound words can be written both with and without an s. This is the consequence of basing a linguistic rule on spoken language.
Although the use of the connecting -s seems quite random, there are a few nouns that always take a connecting -s when they consitute the first part of a compound noun:
I repeat my advice: Use a spellchecker! Now suppose your compound noun is not mentioned in the dictionary. In this case, the Nederlandse Taalunie has a few tips for you:
