Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - Radim and Viktor - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Radim and Viktor - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Newcomer Viktor Baco agreed to try guy-guy sex, so we set up this screentest, with Radim Hajek a real hot guy. With a brief chat to start things off the guys get on to kissing. Viktor then moves down and kisses Radim's nipples as well. Then Viktor removes his jeans and we see that he is really up for it as his cock is rock hard already. He lays back on the bed and Radim goes down on that cock and starts sucking it. His lips are wrapped tight around Viktor's cock as he sucks. Then Radim moves back up to kiss Viktor again before resuming the sucking. After a while Radim removes his jeans as well, and his big, hard cock comes into view. Viktor shows that he is up to the task as he begins to suck on that fat, rigid cock. His mouth works well on the cock and he goes up and sucks nipple as well before going back down on the cock. Holding his mouth on the cock let's Radim fuck his face, the dick moving smoothly in and out. Then they move to a lovely 69 position where we can see everything. Radim stretches himself down so that he can also tongue Viktor's hole and then, when it is nicely wet, he begins to finger it. When it is opened a bit the guys move, with Viktor laying on his front so that his ass is available for Radim's hot cock. That cock slides into Viktor's virgin ass, and he takes it very well. His own stiff dick is pushed back between his legs as Radim fucks his hole. Another change of position allows Viktor to sit his ass down on Radim's cock and ride it. The ass slides up and down on that huge pole. Then going to missionary position let's Viktor wank himself as Radim's cock is deep in his ass. His hole is really stretched wide as he wanks himself to a big, creamy cumshot. Radim needs to blow as well and moves up to dump his cum over Viktor's chest and face. Viktor takes the spent cock in his mouth to clean it off before they share a final kiss to end a spectacular screentest.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
For Wank Party 2013 #2 we assembled a great line-up, Viktor Baco, Adam Rupert, Roman Koroza, Ivo Kerk and Vasek Konik. Things start with Viktor instructing Adam and Roman as they lift weights. Firstly it is Adam, sitting on the bench and lifting the weights, supported by Roman. Then they swap places so Roman can get some exercise. As they change again Ivo and Vasek arrive too. As Roman and Adam continue with the lift ups Ivo and Vasek get changed and ready to train as well. Viktor and Ivo are going to have a little competions and Viktor sits on the bench and starts his lift ups. When he has done as many as he can Ivo takes his place. He does just as well as Viktor and gets a round of applause as he finishes. Viktor suggests that the two of them should do push-ups as well, and he starts it off. Ivo follows suit and still it seems to be a draw. So they then start posing. They get naked and Adam takes hold of their cocks and wanks them as they pose. As Ivo and Viktor's cocks begin to respond Vasek and Roman are rubbing themselves and when Roman drops his cock he is rock hard. Vasek reaches into his shorts and wanks himself as Ivo and Viktor release Adam's throbbing dick from his shorts too. Vasek too is hard now, so all five are up and ready for more. Adam is eager to suck some cock and moves over to Vasek and Roman, dropping to his knees to begin sucking. Ivo follow his lead and begins to suck Viktor. Adam sucks Roman and Vasek in turn, his wet mouth working over each of the cocks. Viktor changes places with Ivo and sucks on his big cock. Adam stands up and places his rigid dick against those of Roman and Vasek, to compare. Then Roman drops to his knees and begins to suck on his friends. As he sucks on them Vasek and Adam lean over and kiss each other. Next Ivo lays on the floor and lifts his legs up in the air, so that his ass is available. Adam goes down on his knees and begins to rim Ivo's hot hole. His own hole is available too and Roman begins to lick at it as well. What a hot start to this wank party, with 5 awesome guys.

I was watching an absolutely wonderful made for TV movie last night, The Challenger, when, 30 minutes in, a snowstorm knocked out my satellite for the night. Fortunately, the movie, about Richard Feynman and the Challenger disaster, was available for offline view viewing. I highly recommend it. It premiered last night on BBC2 and is a co-production with the Science Channel in the USA. Here is a short YouTube clip of Feynman explaining what it was like to work on the commission:
Meanwhile, on the Blog, I've posted my Second First Look of our upcoming Wank Party. Part One will be published on Friday, so I'll publish my Last First Look before then.
A wonderful screentest with Viktor Baco and Radim Hajek has pride of place in today's newsletter. But that is not all, we also have a great wrestling scene with Milos Zambo and Anton Kretek as well as David Koral's erotic video and Ivo Kerk's session stills.
We have some very good castees as well today. Lukyn Nebeky, Svatopluk Jelen, Ivo Kerk and Kamil Bazina. That is a lovely selection, but my clear winner for pick of the day is Ivo Kerk.

Martin Gajdos vs Jakub Marhoul
In today's match up we have two fine examples of young men in the prime of their lives, Martin Gajdos and Jakub Marhoul are toned, trim and terrific as they go through their warm up stretches.

KHARTOUM, Sudan, March 17 (UPI) -- Sudan's and South Sudan's armies completed the withdrawal of their troops from the disputed border areas, a Sudanese officer said.
Gen. Emad Adawi said the withdrawals were complete Saturday evening in line with the agreement between the two countries, which was reached March 8.
The agreement calls for withdrawal of the disputed areas within seven days and withdrawal of the 14-mile area, another disputed territory, within 14 days, the Sudan Tribune said.
Adawi said the two sides are meeting Sunday to discuss ongoing implementation of the security agreements.
A joint monitoring force composed of members from both sides will patrol the common border, the Tribune said.

Confused about the swiss study
Dec 31, 2010
I discussed with my doctor about the swiss study which claims that in a monogamous serodiscordant and straight relationship with the infected partner on treatment and with an undetectable viral load the use of a condom is no more imperative. He agrees. I asked him about the possibilities of blips and differences between plasma and seminal fluids concerning viral load and he said that those changes and variations are likely not indicative for a significant trasmission risk since the copies detected are dead virus particles flowing around without the capability to infect a cell. He also said that those few cases which reported transmission with an undetectable viral load were related to poor and suboptimal adherence. What is the truth? Is unprotected sex with a single partner and under the rules of the swiss statement so extenuating low that condoms could be avoided at least for natural conception?
Response from Dr. Frascino
I totally disagree with your doctor. I have discussed the "Swiss Study" repeatedly in this forum. My assessment has not changed. Unprotected sex between magnetic couples remains a risk for HIV transmission, even when the HIV plasma viral load has been suppressed to undetectable levels.
Regarding natural conception, certainly driving the HIV plasma vial load to undetectable levels significantly decreases (but does not completely eliminate) the risk of HIV transmission. Timing sex to the ovulatory cycle to decrease the number of exposures can further decrease the risk. I would suggest you review the information in the archives of this forum in the chapters on pregnancy and magnetic couples.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Best Practices: Fostering a Global Mindset
By Sirin Köprücü, Senior Associate,and Neal Goodman, Ph.D., President, Global Dynamics, Inc.
The business world has been witnessing significant changes in the last 10 years, and there is no doubt there are more to come. Global foreign direct investment deals outbound from emerging economies are expected to multiply over the next 15 years, making foreign direct investment a major source of business financing, even in the U.S. Trade-to-GDP ratios are rising significantly in many OECD countries. Technology continues to reduce geographic distance, enabling more globally integrated enterprises to emerge. As a result, organizations—ranging from entrepreneurial to multinational corporations—increasingly seek professionals who can navigate the complexities of international business and develop credibility among people of different cultural backgrounds.
Embracing Change
In his article "U.S. Entrepreneurs Need a True Global Mindset," published in The Huffington Post, Ted Zoller, VP of Entrepreneurship at Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, writes, "The U.S. is by nature more insular than other countries with respect to new ventures." He cites the size of the U.S. domestic market as one reason. "…whereas in smaller countries such as Denmark and Sweden, or in large but poorer countries, firms with high ambitions have long had to look to international markets to remain competitive, as their domestic markets couldn't sustain them."
He points out how the relative geographic and cultural isolation of the U.S. can be another challenge. Most importantly, he emphasizes the importance of being able to seek innovation in diverse perspectives and diverse locations rather than finding creative ways to carry a U.S.-born idea elsewhere.
Multinational corporations also acknowledge the changing market conditions, realize the opportunities that advanced technology offers today, and feel the need to change.
In a keynote speech delivered in 2011, IBM CEO Samuel J. Palmisano said, "It is so easy to stick with things that have made you a successful company or institution—a winning product, a profitable business model. It's even easier to stick with what's made you successful as a professional—what got you to where you are. Yet one of the core responsibilities of leadership is to understand when it's time to change—the organization and yourself."
Multinational corporations recognize the opportunities in being able to span boundaries by increasing accurate information flow with new technologies; the opportunities that come with collaborative thinking; and the opportunities that come through long-term orientation and developing people and systems that innovate.
Now Is the Time
On the bright side, it has rarely been so exciting to be a leader in the history of business. This is the time to expand minds to the ways of the world and become curious like a child, to be able to relate to people with different perspectives with confidence and in a trustworthy manner, and to take advantage of exciting technology to know and navigate global business complexities with finesse.
This is the time to operate with a global mindset while celebrating one's own roots and values. With a global mindset, today's business leaders have the chance to bring innovation, economic sustainability, and peace not only to their geographic areas but to all societies they can engage in their business endeavors. As the 2012 Edelman Trust Barometer indicates, business leaders have the chance to bridge the gap of growing mistrust in societies.
Needless to say, relevant training and experiential learning geared toward developing the global mindset of each employee, and ultimately of the whole organization, has become a key training field and will equip organizations with the essential capabilities to innovate, engage, and prosper in these exciting times of the 21st century.

CROSBY, Texas - Investigators are asking the public for information regarding an alleged series of sexual assaults at a car dealership, and they said there may be more possible victims.
Riku Melartin, the owner of John Keating Chevrolet in Crosby, has been charged with sexual assault of a child. According to court documents, he had sex with a 16-year-old female employee.
Another employee of the dealership, George Koutani, has been accused of fondling the teen. He has been charged with indecency with a child.
According to court records, all of the incidents happened between August and October.
"The complainant believed Riku gave her a total close to $500.00 dollars [sic] between the three incidents," court documents read.
Prosecutors said the incidents came to light when the teen's stepfather, who is listed in court records as working for Melartin at the dealership, received an anonymous call. Court records read the stepfather told detectives the caller said "he overhead George Koutani bragging at the dealership about him having sex with the complaint."
On Friday, detectives said they think other employees at the dealership may have information about the alleged assaults. Deputies said they also think it's possible that the 16-year-old was not the only person to have encounters with Melartin and Koutani.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
Melartin was heralded by some as a hero 11 months ago.
Last February, Melartin recounted for Local 2 how he helped stop a man who robbed an elderly neighbor in Bellaire. Melartin's story went viral on the web, in part because of how he referred to his .50 caliber handgun as his "dancing partner."

Reviewed by Ben C. (age 12)
I thought it was a wonderful and exciting book. The main character, Harvey Cheyene is spoiled rotten, but when he is on a fishing ship, he discovers what it is like to not have so much money. This character changed completely by the way he ate and dressed. He also learned how people manage that don't have that much money. Harvey reminds me of my sister because she is also plain spoiled.
I definintely recommend this book because it had a lot of adventure. I loved the settings portrayed because the author used many descriptive words. Sixth graders are the perfect age for reading this book.

Summer is almost over and it is time to prepare for school again.
Summer is almost over and it is time to prepare for school again. We have been working hard all summer to get ready for our students and we are excited for the new school year to begin. There are some changes in personnel and some changes in times of which everyone needs to be informed.
Open House will be held from 12 noon until 1 p.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 9. We are asking all parents who can attend to come to the auditorium first for a short introduction during which time we will review the new expectations. After that, parents and students can visit the classrooms and meet the teachers.
Our school day begins promptly at 7:50 a.m. which means that we expect students to be in their classrooms ready to work at that time. Gates will be locked at 7:45 a.m. in order to accomplish this. If you arrive after that time, you will need to check in through the front office and your student will be marked tardy.
After the first week of school we ask that Kindergarten parents refrain from entering the classroom with your child. You can just drop them off at the gate and they will make it to the class by themselves. Parents of children in grades 1-6 should not need to walk your children to their rooms. There are personnel stationed all over campus to assist and supervise students on their way to class.
School ends at 2:50 p.m. If you pick up your child, please be in one of the four designated pick-up lines close to this time. There is no need to come early, as gates will not open until 2:50 p.m. and children will not be dismissed until then. This time change will not affect bus riders.
Those students who stay in Pre-K all day will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m. Please park in the PreK lot and sign-out your child in the classroom. By dismissing them early, it should relieve some of the congestion in the Kiss and Go lane that we experience in the afternoons.
It is very important that you send your child to school every day with everything they need to be successful. Classroom interruptions will be kept to a minimum. Please remember to send supplies, snacks, pack lunches if they do not eat in the cafeteria, and do not check them out early if at all possible. Every minute of instruction is vital to their education.
We look forward to another great year with your help and encouragement!

Happy Pi Day! Unless you are a Tauist
As the world celebrates Pi Day on Friday, a movement is growing that claims pi — or 3.14, the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference — is wrong.
MORE: World celebrates 3.14
The Tau Day movement supporters — also known as Tauists — say the circle's constant should use the radius, not the diameter.
Tau (τ) comes out to 2π, or 6.28. Tau Day is celebrated June 28, and Tauists refer to Pi Day as Half Tau Day.
The Tauist argument is laid out in the Tau Manifesto, written in 2010 by theorist Michael Hartl: The definition of a circle is the set of points a particular distance from the center. That distance is the radius.
YOUR TAKE: What are you eating?
"When you divide by the diameter, you're really dividing by twice the radius, so that factor of 2 shows up everywhere," Hartl said in an interview with USA TODAY Network.
Hartl isn't the first person to dispute pi. In 2001, Bob Palais, a math professor at the Utah Valley University, wrote an article titled, "π is wrong!" in The Mathematical Intelligencer.
Palais points out that Leonhard Euler, the mathematician who popularized pi, actually used the 6.28 value first.
Euler went back and forth between the 3.14 and 6.28 values, "so he was sensible and used it for what seemed appropriate for a particular setting," Palais said in an e-mail to USA TODAY Network.
To better understand the tau vs. pie debate, Vi Hart, known for producing YouTube videos about math, created this segment that explains tau, using pies.
Pi is still the dominant constant, but tau is gaining popularity.
Last year, the University of Oxford hosted a seminar called "Tau vs. Pi: Fixing a 250-Year-Old Mistake."
In 2012, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology started a tradition of releasing its admissions decisions on Pi Day at Tau Time (March 14 at 6:28 p.m.)
There's even a tau watch, created by Cadence Watch.
Still not convinced? Hartl writes in the manifesto, "If you think that the circular baked goods on Pi Day are tasty, just wait — Tau Day has twice as much pi(e)!"

Britton Deerfield, Blissfield win to stay in playoff hunt
The Tecumseh High School football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, falling to Southeastern Conference White Division foe Chelsea 31-28.
Tecumseh (6-1, 3-1 SEC White) entered the game tied with the Bulldogs for first place in the league standings.
After falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, Tecumseh roared back into the game. Going into the fourth the Indians were down 28-21 and trailed by 10 after a 41-yard field goal by Chelsea.
Ben Dreslinski hit Spencer Adams for a 17-yard touchdown with 4:14 left. The Indians were able to make a stop and get the ball back with 2:30 left. Despite getting the ball to the Chelsea 13-yard line, Tecumseh was unable to covert.
Indians quarterback Ben Dreslinski threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another touchdown on the ground. Casey Hunt had three catches for 96 yards. Preston Pelham led all tacklers with 15.
Britton Deerfield 48, Summerfield 20: At Britton, the Patriots rushed their way to victory Friday as they ran for 476 yards against Tri-County Conference opponent Summerfield.
Britton-Deerfield running back Leighton Merritt ran for 329 yards and three touchdowns, while Brandt Swindeman rushed for 131 yards on the ground for BD (4-3, 3-2 TCC).
The Patriots, who remained in the playoff hunt, led 28-13 at halftime and outscored Summerfield 20-7 in the second half.
Blissfield 22, Erie Mason 19: At Blissfield, the Royals kept their playoff hopes alive by narrowly edging out the Eagles in a Lenawee County Athletic Association match-up on a stormy Friday night.
In a game that saw nine fumbles, the Eagles were up 13-6 at the half. The game's turning point came early in the third quarter when Blissfield's Garrett LaRoy blocked an Erie Mason punt and Tyler Clark recovered it a Blissfield touchdown. After Luke Cassaubon ran in a two-point conversion, the Royals were up 14-13.
After Erie Mason went up 19-14, Lee Keinath scored a touchdown for Blissfield, and Cassaubon added a two-point conversion for the final score.
Blissfield (4-3, 4-1 LCAA) was led on the ground by Brad Lietzke with 106 yards on 13 carries. Zech Bostick led all tacklers with 13.
Pittsford 20, Lenawee Christian 12: At Pittsford, the Cougars lost a close one in double overtime Friday to Southern Central Athletic Association opponent Pittsford.
The Cougars took the lead in the second quarter when Grant Hohlbein ran it in from eight yards out to make it 6-0. Pittsford answered back in the third quarter, and after a scoreless fourth quarter kept the game at a 6-6 tie, the game was sent into overtime.
The Cougars got the ball first and took the lead on Hohlbein's second rushing touchdown on the night. The Wildcats answered right back with another TD.
Pittsford got the ball to open the second overtime, scored quickly and added the two-point conversion. Lenawee Christian couldn't score on its possession.
Lenawee Christian (2-5, 2-4 SCAA) struggled offensively, netting only three first downs on 42 plays. Holhbein was the team's leading rusher with 46 yards on 13 attempts.
Michigan Center 53, Addison 14: At Michigan Center, the Panthers struggled Friday night against Cascades Conference leader and Division 6 No. 8-ranked Michigan Center.
Addison (1-6, 1-5 Cascades) trailed 40-0 at halftime. Jared Bruner and Travis Maynard scored rushing touchdowns in the second half for the Panthers.
Bruner led the Panthers with 145 rushing yards on 23 carries. Bryce Glazier finished the night 6-for-14 passing for 67 yards, while Cody Branch caught four passes for 43 yards.

Manchester school board to invite Hooksett and Candia to sit on committeeBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 26. 2014 10:10PM
MANCHESTER — The school board is expected to officially invite representatives from Candia and Hooksett to join a key committee as nonvoting members.
The board's Curriculum and Instruction Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to send letters to the school boards of the towns, inviting each to select a member to join the committee.
The move is the latest overture to the high school sending towns following a year of acrimony that saw the Hooksett school board propose pulling its students from the city and entering a new contract with Pinkerton Academy. (Related story, Page B1.) Voters in the town earlier this month overwhelmingly rejected the new contract, as well as the members of the board who backed it.
Since then, Mayor Ted Gatsas has expressed a desire to sit down with the new school boards of the towns in the interest of fostering a better relationship.
Parents in Hooksett and Candia have criticized large class sizes and other issues in Manchester high schools.
Ward 8 school board member Erika Connors, the chairman of the curriculum committee, said the time was right to reach out.
"I think it's always been important to include them in the discussion, but now is a great time to take a step forward in moving in that direction," she said. "We want to include them as much as possible in the curriculum discussion. That would affect Candia and Hooksett more than anything."
In the past, Hooksett has sent a representative to school board meetings, but only intermittently. The city charter prevents town representatives from voting on the school board.
"There has always been an open invitation to any member of the boards to come, but this would be an official invitation, to have one of their members be standing members," Connors said.
The full school board is expected to approve sending out the invitation at its next meeting.
The district gets about $7 million in tuition revenue from its sending towns, although this amount has declined since last year as Hooksett began sending students elsewhere.
Gatsas and others have touted new initiatives in the district, in particular STEAM Ahead NH, a program beginning in the fall at West High that will enable students to seek college credit for coursework being developed with local companies and colleges. email@example.com

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Comprehensive Description
The llama (Lama glama) is a large animal (around 130 to 155 kg) and is able to carry a load of 96 kg at a rate of 26 km/day over rugged mountain terrain at an elevation of 5000 m. Llamas played a major role in the development of the Inca Empire, providing invaluable service as beasts of burden (the llama is apparently the only animal domesticated by native peoples of the New World that was used for this purpose). Llamas were also used as a source of meat, fat for making candles, materials for making clothes and rope, and dried excrement that could be used as fuel. Llama hemoglobin has a an unusually high affinity for oxygen and the blood contains an usually high concentration of red blood cells, at least partially explaining the ability of llamas to function so well at high altitudes. (Nowak 1991 and references therein)
The llama is one of four South American camelids (mammals in the camel family) recognized today, two of which are wild species, the guanaco (Lama guanicoe) and the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna), and two of which are domesticated forms, the alpaca (Lama pacos or Vicugna pacos) and the llama.
Wild vicuña and guanaco diverged from a shared ancestor two to three million years ago. (Wheeler 1995). At one time it was widely believed that both the alpaca and llama were derived from guanacos. However, in light of new archaeozoological evidence from 6000 to 7000 years ago in the central Peruvian Andes linking alpaca origins to the vicuña, Kadwell et al. (2001) investigated the origins of these domesticated forms using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers. Their results confirmed the hypothesis that the llama is derived from the guanaco, but indicated that the alpaca is actually derived from the vicuña, not the guanaco (their investigation also revealed genetic evidence of historical hybridization and gene flow, at least among domesticated forms). Chromosomal analyses have also indicated that the llama was derived from the guanaco and the alpaca from the vicuña (Marín et al. 2007).
Like the guanaco, the llama feeds by both grazing and browsing (the vicuña and alpaca are strictly grazers) (Nowak 1991 and references therein).

Kotchman carries Indians to victory in the 10th
Cleveland, OH – Casey Kotchman hit a game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning on Thursday and the Cleveland Indians avoided a three-game sweep with a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
Shin-Soo Choo began the 10th with a double off the wall in left-center field, then moved to third base on a groundout. Anthony Swarzak (3-5) followed with consecutive intentional walks before Kotchman grounded the deciding single up the middle.
"I tried not to over-think it. Tried to get a pitch to hit and hit it," Kotchman said.
Esmil Rogers (3-1) tossed a perfect top of the 10th to earn the win, while Kotchman finished 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored, as the Indians halted a five-game skid against their AL Central rival.
The Twins, meanwhile, were looking to secure their first sweep in Cleveland since 1991.
Corey Kluber was charged with three runs on five hits over a six-inning start for the Indians. The righty walked one and struck out five.
Twins starter Esmerling Vasquez is still searching for his first win of the season after giving up three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings.
"(Vasquez) did a nice job of battling," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "Overall, he did a good job
Trevor Plouffe's two-out, solo homer gave Vasquez and the Twins a 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth but the right-hander allowed Kotchman's two-out double in the bottom half before exiting.
Kyle Waldrop then hit Brent Lillibridge with a pitch and Jack Hannahan followed with a game-tying base hit up the middle.
Earlier, Ben Revere spotted the Twins a 1-0 lead when he led off the fourth inning with a single, stole second base, moved to third on a groundout, and came home on Kluber's wild pitch.
In the home half, Revere threw out Kotchman at the plate to end the inning, but not before the Indians grabbed a 2-1 lead.
Vasquez began the frame with consecutive walks before Kotchman and Lillibridge delivered back-to-back RBI singles. Hannahan followed with a hit to load the bases, but Revere limited the damage when he caught Thomas Neal's shallow fly to right and easily retired the tagging Kotchman.
In the fifth, Pedro Florimon worked a two-out walk and scored from first base on Denard Span's double down the line in shallow left field, making it 2-2.
Game Notes
Despite the loss, the Twins won the season series, 12-6 ... Plouffe has 23 home runs on the season ... Vasquez is 0-2 in four starts this season after going 9-6 in 31 games -- eight starts -- at Triple-A ...Vasquez and Kluber also squared off on Sept. 9, with neither starter receiving a decision in an 8-7 Minnesota win.

I've read posts about choppy sound on dsi and unfortunately have the same problem.
My ds xl has 1.4E firmware. I've installed latest AKAIO 1.7.1 and scumm 1.1.
The sound in monkey island 2 is terrible.
Anyone came up with a solution ? Any one has the same problem ?
Maybe I should rephrase it.
Is anyone of the dsi/dsi XL owners with acekard has good quality sound in scumm games ?
If yes, what have you done to manage it ?
What brand, type, and speed of microSD card are you using? I'm using an 8GB Transcend Class-6 and have the occasional stutter of audio only, usually during scene transitions (a/k/a loading).
-Another World
Well to be honest I don't know. I've bought it in pack with acekard in one of their recommended stores:
So you suggest it's the matter of microSD speed. Ok then. I'll give it a try and buy me a fuster one.
i am having the same problem, using an 8G scandisk micro sd. bajtucha: let us know if a different micro sd makes a difference?
if your microsd card is 2gb or less you want a japanese kingston. they are rated a bit faster than other cards and have always shown a greater compatibility with this hobby. if you are getting SDHC (4gb+) then you should try a class-6 or class-10 adata or transcend microsd card. those have shown the best compatibility, again for this hobby.
sadly, kingston msd cards are the most copied cards on the market. i have never heard of the site you purchased from so i can not speak on their behalf, there is a chance that the bundled card is a fake and neither you or the shop had any idea. also the ak2i has been cloned, you will want to make sure you have a legit card.
give this topic a read:
a fake msd card could be the result of the slow read speeds you are experiencing. then again a cloned ak2i uses the old actel chip and is not fully supported by either firmware choice. in regards to firmware, make sure you are using akaio 1.7.1, as the official acekard firmware has not been updated (for compatibilty or bug fixes) in more than a year.
get akaio 1.7.1 from here:
good luck!
-another world
The store I've purchased from is recommended by official acekard site as you can see here: http://www.acekard.cn/distributors.html
so I believe my card is not a fake
i deal directly with acekard and team akaio. acekard.cn is not a real acekard website. i have no idea who made that site but it looks like it was created as an advertisement for that 1 shop.
this is the official acekard reseller list: http://www.acekard.com/distributors.php
to get on the list you only need to ask to have your link added. acekard has no control over what microsd cards resellers bundle with their products. in fact, acekard no longer sells direct to overseas resellers, so they have no control over what cards some resellers order. by this i mean that a reseller in the US might be selling the actel clone ak2i bundled with a fake kingston msd card.
-another world
I've bought Samsung HC class6 - unfortunately it doesn't change a thing.
Please let me know, anyone, if you find working configuration with acekard and DSxl.
Found the solution! ... and it's quite simple .. akaio 1.8.5
Still some lags and occasional stutter when scene changes but hey! - now I can play!

It wasn't very long ago that Twitter's Vine app, through which users share six-second videos, changed the way we share via social media.
Not to be outdone, Facebook-owned Instagram launched its own video-sharing component. Many thought Instagram's move could spell the end of Vine. They might be right.
Instagram launched its service, which enables users to post 15-second videos, on June 20. That very day saw a huge dip in the number of Vine links shared on Twitter, a full 64 percent, according to Topsy's free analytics tool:
Whereas the metrics show a marked decline in Vine links shared on Twitter, Instagram links have shown a slight increase and have held steady. Vine shares have remained down.
In a recent blog post, Vine promises to improve the service: "Over the next few weeks, we'll be introducing some exciting new parts of Vine."

Vine also predicts for itself a great summer. For Vine to stay relevant, it had better be. The app has a healthy 13 million users, but more than 100 million people use Instagram.

GH6121, Reviewed August 2004
Between birth and age three, children rapidly achieve many important milestones that create the foundation for later growth and development. Early in life, babies depend on others to meet their needs for safety and security. When infants receive warm, consistent care and attention from adults, they are able to establish a sense of trust in the world. They learn that important caregivers will feed them, change them, bathe them, and play with them. This trust serves as an important first step for children's development during the toddler years, a time when children establish independence by exploring their environment. If toddlers trust their caregivers and use them as a secure base from which to explore, they are more confident in their efforts to learn about the world. Furthermore, when children become afraid or encounter danger, they have the confidence to turn away and return to their secure base for reassurance and protection. Toddlers also experience a new sense of self-awareness that grows from their increasing desire to do things for themselves. In other words, toddlers become more independent each and every day. For toddlers, learning to feed themselves and becoming toilet trained are important and exciting accomplishments. These markers provide the necessary starting point for growth and learning during the preschool years.
Helping children feel safe and secure during infancy and later encouraging toddlers' exploration are important responsibilities for adults. Children who trust their caregivers are more likely to confidently explore their surroundings and establish a sense of healthy independence. And, as children begin to establish their independence, a positive sense of self-control and self-esteem emerges. Caring adults have a wonderful opportunity to foster children's independence and, in turn, their positive sense of self. The following information provides general knowledge about children's development during infancy and toddlerhood, including physical development, thinking and learning, expressing feelings, awareness of self and others, and communication. Specific suggestions for how adults can positively influence children's development are offered. Special attention is also paid to several issues that are particularly important during infancy and toddlerhood, particularly:
Each child grows and develops at his or her own rate. Children display developmental landmarks at different times. The tableb elow lists characteristics that children between the ages of birth and 2-1/2 typically display as they grow and develop. For each type of development (e.g., physical, communication), characteristics for younger children are listed first, followed by the characteristics that children display as they get older (i.e., younger children's characteristics are at the top of each list, older children's are at the bottom).
What can adults do?
Most children successfully master toilet training by the age of 3. This is an important marker of independence for toddlers, as they gain more control of their own bodies. Parents and other important caregivers play a critical role in facilitating this transition in their children's lives. Children need extra attention and affection during this time. With support from teachers and child care providers, parents can make toilet training a successful learning experience. Listed below are tips for toilet training your child.
Whenever a child bites another person, it is upsetting for everyone. Biting is common among very young children, particularly in group settings such as child care. It is very important for adults to understand why children bite so that they can help children find more appropriate ways to express themselves. The chart on page 6 lists reasons children bite, strategies to help prevent biting, and strategies for responding to biting.
Biting satisfies their strong need for independence and control.
Teething makes babies mouths hurt.
They are trying to approach or initiate interaction with another child.
They are seeking attention.
They are angry or frustrated.
They are experimenting and want to know what will happen if they bite.
They are feeling threatened.
Sometimes prevention efforts do not stop children from biting. When a child bites another person, the adults in charge should consistently respond to each biting episode; specific strategies and ideas are listed below:
Children grow rapidly during infancy and toddlerhood. They accomplish many milestones, including establishing a sense of trust in the world during infancy and finding their independence in toddlerhood. Adults have the important task of providing children varied opportunities to promote their development during infancy and toddlerhood. Using the suggestions that have been offered will help adults to foster a positive, creative environment wherein children can thrive.

RIVER FALLS, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – After a week off, the UW-Eau Claire volleyball team got back on the court tonight and defeated UW-River Falls 3-1 at the Karges Center, picking up its fifth straight win.
The Blugolds (18-9, 4-2 WIAC) narrowly dropped the first set, 25-23, to the Falcons (19-9, 4-2 WIAC). Eau Claire jumped out to a 4-0 advantage and pushed its lead to 6-1 before things started going the Falcons' way. At the end of the set, River Falls led 24-21 before the Blugolds called a timeout and then came back to score two in a row. But the Falcons got the final point to win 25-23.
Eau Claire won the next three sets to win the match. To get things going in the second set, the Blugolds never trailed and won 25-19.
The third set was closely contested but Eau Claire came out on top 27-25. Eau Claire again started out with the lead but the Falcons eventually built a 12-10 advantage midway through the set. It was 19-17 in favor of the Falcons at one point and they worked their way to a 24-23 lead before Eau Claire outscored River Falls 4-1 the remainder of the set to win 27-25.
In the fourth and final set, the Blugolds had little trouble finishing off the Falcons. After River Falls jumped out to a 3-1 lead, the Blugolds scored five straight to take a 6-3 lead and never looked back. Eau Claire scored the rest of its points in streaks and won the set 25-12 and the match 3-1.
Leading the Blugolds in kills was Kelly Riesgraf (Fr.-Chaska, Minn.) with 10. Two others each added nine as the Blugolds finished with 42 for the match. River Falls completed the match with 45 kills.
Lauren Sutherland (Jr.-Dayton, Minn./Meadow Creek Christian) recorded a match-best 26 digs while Emily Neave (Sr.-Salem, Wis./Westosha Central) had a team-high 31 set assists. Alexis Wong (So.-Maple Grove, Minn.) finished with a match-high four service aces.
The Blugolds have now won 15 straight matches over the Falcons going back to 2005.
This weekend the Blugolds will be at the Elmhurst College Tournament in Illinois for four matches. They kick off the weekend against North Park (Ill.) at 4 p.m. Friday. After the weekend, the Blugolds will wrap up the regular season with two conference road matches Oct. 26 and 27.

Another run at higher speed limitsBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 08. 2013 9:19PM
CONCORD - A Manchester state representative makes his annual pitch to raise the speed limit on major highways this week.
State Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester, has been trying for years to let people go faster on highways because, he says, they're speeding anyway.
Vaillancourt says he will sometimes drive at 65 mph through the state and compares the number of cars he passes to the number of cars that pass him.
"I am passed by 85 percent of the people I come in contact with," he said. "It's clear that people are breaking the law 85 percent of the time and any law broken on a regular basis is something the people are saying they don't want."
In Vaillancourt's view, the public's tolerance for breaking the speed limit reduces a law to a guideline that is rarely enforced.
Supporters of higher speed limits say that if one law becomes little more than a suggestion, it reduces respect for other laws.
Vaillancourt has filed two bills, one to raise the speed limit to 70 on most stretches of Interstate highway in the state, and another to increase it to 75, so to give fellow lawmakers a choice of how fast to let people drive on the open road."
There is this old canard that speed kills; it's not speed that kills, it's divergence from speed that kills," Vaillancourt said. "People that are going too slow are the ones who cause accidents because they force people to weave around them."
The insurance industry disagrees. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety acknowledges that researchers have suggested that vehicles traveling both much slower and much faster than average are more likely to become involved in a wreck.
But materials prepared for the group also says crashes at faster speeds are more severe.
Lawmakers in Maine approved a bill two years ago increasing turnpike speeds to 75 from Old Town to Houlton on the heels of a state-sponsored study that found that people were going 75 anyway.
Some people fear that a higher legal speed limit means people will go even faster than they do now, that a faster legal limit means an even faster actual speed at which motorists can feel somewhat confident they drive without the stomach-churning chagrin of seeing blue lights in the rear view mirror.
Vaillancourt admits to about eight speeding tickets since being licensed as a teen, including a well-publicized incident a few years ago in which a records check turned up suspended license he attributes to clerical errors in Vermont.
He is joined by other lawmakers from the Manchester area in his quest for a higher speed limit; his annual raise-the-speed-limit legislation is co-sponsored by state Reps. John Burt, R-Goffstown, and Daniel Tamburello, R-Londonderry, as well as Sen. Andy Sanborn of Bedford.

About RSNA
By the end of 1978, RSNA had held its annual meeting at Chicago's McCormick Place four consecutive times. However, some Society members, particularly those who did not live in the Midwest, had been asking the RSNA Board of Directors to schedule a meeting in another region of the country. Society membership had surpassed 10,000 and the newly organized Board of Directors wanted to be responsive to members' needs. Consequently, RSNA leaders planned to hold the 1979 meeting in Atlanta, the 1980 and 1984 meetings in Dallas, and the 1981, 1982 and 1983 meetings in Chicago. The 1984 meeting was eventually held in Washington, D.C.
Atlanta had recently become a workable site for the RSNA Scientific Assembly with the opening of additional hotels and the new Georgia World Congress Center, which was promoted as a symbol of a revitalized South. The Society's Director of Scientific Meetings, George Schuyler, had determined that the Center could house all the technical exhibitors and had enough conference rooms for Refresher Courses and Scientific Sessions. However, it lacked a huge auditorium comparable to the Arie Crown Theater at McCormick Place for the heavily attended Sunday Film Interpretation Session. But Schuyler, with his usual efficiency, was arranging to hold that session in another building in Atlanta and was scheduling special bus service to transport meeting attendees from the convention center to that building.
RSNA leaders were looking forward to the annual meeting. It was to feature the first Categorical Course on Radiation Therapy, organized by Frank L. Hussey Jr., M.D., and a Scientific Exhibit about the use of magnetic resonance in medicine, presented by Paul C. Lauterbur, M.D. But by summer 1979, while RSNA was preparing to hold its Scientific Assembly in Atlanta, one of the worst crises in the Society's history erupted.
Crime and Repercussions
In late June, as the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) held its annual meeting in Atlanta, SNM officials confirmed 15 incidents in which meeting attendees were either assaulted or robbed.
The worst incident occurred on June 28. Marc R. Tetalman, M.D., a young RSNA member from Ohio, was attending the SNM meeting. That evening, he, his wife and James Martin, a representative of the Eastman Kodak Company, had dinner at a downtown Atlanta restaurant. Upon leaving the restaurant, they decided to walk the few blocks to their hotel. During the walk, they were accosted by a man brandishing a gun who demanded money and valuables. Dr. Tetalman resisted since he recently received his watch as a gift. The thief fired his weapon. Dr. Tetalman was killed. Martin, who had tried to protect Dr. Tetalman, was severely wounded.1
Subsequently, RSNA, with its meeting to be held in Atlanta five months later, received countless calls and requests from Society members and technical exhibitors to send a message to Atlanta's city officials, hotels and convention bureau by transferring the 1979 meeting to another site. RSNA President William T. Meszaros, M.D., and the Board of Directors realized it was too late to move a meeting the size of the RSNA Scientific Assembly. When members and exhibitors became aware that the meeting could not be held in another city, they demanded cancellation of the meeting. To complicate matters, the media were depicting Atlanta as a city in chaos. News reports claimed that Atlanta's crime problems were racially based. Approximately 200 vacancies in the police department could not be filled due to a court order related to suits of discrimination and reverse discrimination in the city's hiring policy for police officers.
The Board of Directors decided the Scientific Assembly would be held only if RSNA could get a promise of tight security from Atlanta city officials. Otherwise, Dr. Meszaros realized he would have to break commitments to exhibitors and paper presenters.
Police on Every Corner
Consequently, Society leaders were in immediate contact with Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson and Department of Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown demanding assurances of safety for RSNA meeting attendees. On August 8, 1979, Dr. Meszaros, Schuyler, Executive Director Adele Swenson, Board Chairman Milton Elkin, M.D., and Board Liaison for Annual Meeting Arrangements Richard G. Lester, M.D., met with Mayor Jackson, Commissioner Brown, law enforcement officials and representatives of Atlanta's convention and tourism industry.
>RSNA officials indicated that security in Atlanta was too tenuous for the Scientific Assembly and suggested they would cancel the meeting. Atlanta officials, realizing the importance of the RSNA meeting to the city's economy, engaged the Society leaders in hours of discussion and ultimately committed to an increased presence of uniformed police on the streets, around the World Congress Center and near the hotels to be used by RSNA meeting attendees. Said Mayor Jackson to the RSNA delegation, "Doctors, when you are here for your meeting in November, police officers will be coming out of your ears," to which Dr. Elkin replied, "That is just what we want!" 2
To their credit, Atlanta officials immediately went into action. They got the courts to allow the filling of the vacancies in the police department. Undercover police officers were to be put into uniform and unmarked police cars were marked. Georgia Governor George Busbee promised state troopers would assist city police. The managers of the downtown hotels promised to expand their uniformed security staff.
During September, October and early November, Schuyler and other RSNA staff periodically visited Atlanta to monitor the implementation of the city's commitments. In addition, RSNA hired private security firms to supplement city and state services. The Society also had additional signs printed to post at the Georgia World Congress Center reminding meeting attendees to remove their name badges once leaving the convention center so as not to be easily identified as out-of-towners. Requests were also printed in various meeting publications asking attendees to take taxis even if traveling a few blocks.
The decision by RSNA leaders to go ahead with the Scientific Assembly in Atlanta did not please some Society members or technical exhibitors. A few members threatened to attend the meeting armed. Some technical exhibitors threatened a boycott.3
November 25-30, 1979, the weather in Atlanta was pleasantly warm. The city was decked in Christmas decorations. Police seemed to be on every corner. The 65th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the RSNA was held without an untoward incident affecting any Society member. Dr. Hussey's Categorical Course on Radiation Therapy was a success. Dr. Lauterbur's Scientific Exhibit was the radiologists' first introduction to magnetic resonance imaging—a new modality that could help visualize anatomy by using a strong magnetic field rather than ionizing radiation. Yet attendance was down from the 1978 Scientific Assembly and some meeting attendees inwardly grumbled about the intrusiveness of the security measures.
RSNA leaders did not plan to hold the Scientific Assembly in Atlanta again.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Caterpillar said on Monday that its 2013 profit could shrink if the world's economy doesn't pick up in the second half of the year, as mining companies and builders remain cautious about buying new gear.
The cloudy outlook for the year came as Caterpillar reported a fourth-quarter profit less than half as big as a year ago because of a deal in China that went bad and slower growth around most of the world.
Caterpillar Inc. is the largest maker of construction and mining equipment, so its performance rises and falls with the world's economy. It tries to predict where the economy is headed so it knows how many excavators, bulldozers, and mining trucks to build.
If recent economic improvements continue, this could be a record year for Caterpillar, its executives said. But if this year is a replay of the last two, where growth and confidence declined in the second half, "2013 could be a tough year," said Doug Oberhelman, chairman and CEO.
Caterpillar started 2012 expecting the U.S. economy to grow at least 3 percent but economists estimate annual growth was a little more than 2 percent. In April, the company was still forecasting 8.5 percent growth in China, but the world's second-largest economy expanded by 7.8 percent last year, its weakest annual performance since the 1990s.
Caterpillar dialed back production in the second half of 2012, which hurt fourth-quarter revenue and profits. Caterpillar and its dealers have both been trying to sell off inventory. Reduced production will continue at least through the first quarter, the company said.
For this year, Caterpillar expects revenue of $60 billion to $68 billion, with a profit of $7 to $9 per share. Analysts had been expecting a profit of $8.54 per share on revenue of $64.58 billion.
Caterpillar said there's a wide range in its outlook because of the high level of uncertainty in the world. It expects relatively weak growth in the U.S. economy. Growth in China will improve, but not back to the levels seen in 2010 or 2011, Caterpillar said. It expects Europe to continue to struggle.
It said first quarter revenue and profits will be "significantly lower" than the same period last year.
In the quarter ended Dec. 31, Caterpillar earned $697 million, or $1.04 per share, down from a profit of $1.55 billion, or $2.32 per share a year earlier.
The most recent quarter included a non-cash charge of 87 cents per share to write down the purchase of Zhengzhou Siwei.
Not counting the write-down and a $300 million tax benefit, Caterpillar would have earned $1.46 per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been expecting a profit of $1.69 per share.
Revenue fell 7 percent to $16.08 billion as sales fell everywhere except Latin America.
Revenue from construction equipment fell 25 percent. But sales of mining gear — now Caterpillar's single largest category by revenue — grew 14 percent on improvements in all regions except North America, where coal mining is in decline.
Caterpillar's $653 million purchase of Siwei in June gave it a new business — roofing supports for mines — in China, the world's largest coal producer.
But on Jan. 18, Caterpillar said it had found "deliberate, multi-year, coordinated accounting misconduct" in the accounting at Siwei, and said it will write down its investment in the company by $580 million. It also said it dismissed several senior managers at the company.
Oberhelman said on a conference call that new Caterpillar managers tried to reconcile Siwei's inventory with what was on the books. They found a significant discrepancy, he said, prompting a deeper investigation.
"What we discovered was deliberate, multiyear, coordinated accounting misconduct at Siwei," he said. "It was executed by several senior managers at Siwei for the purpose of inflating sales, understating costs, and over-reporting profit, and it included fabricated documentation designed to cover their tracks."
He said Caterpillar is "considering all options to recover our losses and hold those responsible accountable for their wrongdoing." He said the company wouldn't comment further on "pending or contemplated litigation."
Asked why the physical inventory at Siwei wasn't checked before the deal closed, Caterpillar Chief Financial Officer Brad Halverson said in an interview that such a check wouldn't normally be done as part of the process of evaluating a company. "We did our normal due diligence process," he said.
For all of 2012, the company's profits rose 15 percent to $5.68 billion, or $8.48 per share, up from $4.93 billion, or $7.40 per share, in 2011. Revenue rose 10 percent to $65.88 billion, from $60.14 billion.
Shares of the Peoria, Ill.-based company rose $1.87, or 2 percent, to close at $97.45 Monday.

The ampersand strikes again in TNT's latest crime procedural, "King & Maxwell," but two names in the title doesn't always mean double the quality.
Like the network's "Rizzoli & Isles" & "Franklin & Bash," the new series (9 p.m. CT June 10, TNT; 1.5 stars out of 4) will live and die on the casting—because everything else about it feels as stale and standard as week-old white bread.
Thankfully, this one stars the always-likable Jon Tenney, most recently Fitz on "The Closer" and "Major Crimes," and the always-game Rebecca Romijn from "Ugly Betty." They play Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, two failed Secret Service agents now working as private detectives in Washington, D.C. (The characters are based on those in a series of bestselling crime novels by David Baldacci.)
Tenney and Romijn make an appealing pair, even if their playful banter sounds like it came from rejected "Moonlighting" scripts. Speaking of that 1980s chestnut, it also might have inspired the will-they-or-won't-they romantic tension between the two leads. When she hops into the shower after rowing a boat to his office (they're so eccentric!), she leaves the door ajar because, well, there's supposed to be romantic tension.
In the premiere, King and Maxwell first chase down a man in a beaver suit driving a stolen bus before trying to solve the murder of one of his old friends, a lawyer representing an accused serial killer. The convoluted episode involves a far-fetched conspiracy, defense contracts and a predictable twist at the end.
As is almost obligatory in these situations, they butt heads with law enforcement, in this case an FBI agent (scowling Michael O'Keefe) who considers them "a couple of washed-up bullet-catchers who got retired because you screwed up."
The show has a decent balance of action and humor, as well as Ryan Hurst (Opie from "Sons of Anarchy") as a sort of savant who might be a series regular.
With all that going for it and the chemistry of its leads, "King & Maxwell" might grow into something fresher, but right now it just feels all too familiar.

Should crunchyroll acquire Bleach?
it will be good to gather another popular anime, making this site more popular, but they gotta work it out with people in Japan first
Underneath his blue mask <3
youre right, whats your real name lemonxd?
Natsu is hot!
I would say yes they need to get Bleach, DBZ and few other anime on here. but they can do everything on their's own.
Like it would be cool to have the movies too.
Boku No Hero Academia is Here!
there are a lot of good animes that crunchyroll doesn't have, such as bleach, one piece, higurashi, eden of the east, and a lot more. It makes me mad, but I understand that they get the videos directly from japan and can't get all the animes. Does anyone know an anime website with good quality videos and no megavideo? free would be nice
I have been a fan of Bleach for many years now, since the first episode was released and subbed in english. I have seen alot of good and bad subs on bleach and above all subs of the plethora of anime series I have watched in my lifetime Dattebayo is and always will be number one. It sucks that because of my schedule I just noticed what was going on with the petitions and to my dismay if Crunchyroll picks up Bleach Dattebayo will drop it. That will seriously blow donkey $%#^%!!!!!!!!! Though the guys at Dattebayo are sometimes a little crass and quick to Ban people for asking really stupid questions, they are still top of the line. They don't try to censor or soften up the anime's they sub. I mean c'mon.......Hidan of Naruto was a foul mouthed bastard and was meant to come across that way. Not as mildly mean like " mommy he was mean to me " mean. he was a dirty MF'r. I can't support childish subs, there are certain shows that aren't meant to be dulled or watered down.....bleach and Naruto are them.....More-so bleach. So please..........don't mess it up for everyone else. Leave Bleach be. If you can't download it from Dattebayo it's probably cuz you're too damn young and the parental restrictions on your parents computers won't allow you to, so go back to watching bakugan and pokemon or just wait for funimations corny dubs to be released on cartoon network or Adult Swim.
Well, I had this long and well-thought-out reply written up, and then my browser crashed ._.
In short, I'm completely against CR acquiring Bleach -- I've supported Dattebayo for a long time, and I would hate to see them stop putting out their fansubs of the series, as I find their translations not only entertaining but at times educational and their file-download format is ultimately more convenient for me as opposed to CR's streaming format (low-speed internet connection).
While a lot of agree CR should not aquire Bleach, and many others feel they should; I view it as a coin toss really. I mean DB has done a great job fansubbing bleach I like many have been watching their work for more then 3 years and appreciate the work. CR is a great site to view anime for many people across the globe, however I prefer my sub's to be very well done and not watered down to a pre-schooler's "Barney Show". Personally I feel if bleach is placed here that is exactly what will happen to it; not only will the karaoke not be implemented like in most of their series, but the crucial dialogue between characters will more then likely take a major hit. Everyone that has been watching bleach, naruto, ruruoni kenshin, FMA, FMP, etc no a lot of these anime's have a lot of foul language or characters that are meant to pass off as complete jerks or the potential "bastard" of the series and while CR does a good thing spreading anime across the board for all of us. If bleach does eventually get placed here; they need to find a way to appease everyone who enjoy's their favorite anime's Uncensored and not watered down to a pre-school show for the young one's; other wise it may or may not cause people to stop watching anime in one form or another.
I have been a fan of bleach for quite some time as well. I think that CR would greatly benefit in aquireing The animated series of Bleach. I could go into all the benefits of why CR should show Bleach, but I'd rather do It short and sweet by saying that it would be very beneficial. And very popular. It might just push me over into getting an anime membership.
Anutha one bites the dust, AH!
Ok, so I've never even heard of crunchyroll, before. I decided to click a link and have a look around before I made my decision on the Bleach issue. I've been on Animefreak.TV a few times when I wanted to preview an Anime I wasn't sure about, or simply watch a short series I had no desire to keep.
I'm watching about 4 on-going series through torrented fansubs, including Bleach. I download them every week in 720p and watch them on my 50" Plasma. While I don't hold a grudge against CR for any reason, membership fees, ads, and low quality embeded players are not my idea of enjoying a good series. I understand you have to pay for Servers and Licensing, but I guess I never caught on to that method. Additionally, and unless you're bogged down at the moment, your servers are very, very slow.
Bleach is old and on the downfall, I'm surprised I'm still watching it, it's approaching 300 episodes without really going anywhere and I don't know how long it's going to take till they conclude (if ever). If it wasn't for Bleach, I really would have nothing to do with DB, they're pretty thick-headed over there, and it seems they've made up their mind about CR.
Why take a series, right in the middle, and ruin it for 200,000+ fans? Someone's going to just take over where DB left off, but it's not going to be the same. Let DB do what they started, possibly work with them, if you absolutely need to, but If you're going to add some series to your list, you should either take on new shows, from start to finish, or take on concluded series, from start to finish.

This is something I can definatly agree to well said
no doubt if this happens some one else will sub it in DB's place but it wont be the same. And if no one does im sure horriblesubs will pick it up.
I am a big fan of Naruto and Bleach. I am also a big fan of artistic integrity. I understand that CR, Viz, and other production companies want to make these shows for a very wide audience. However, if they are changing dialog in order to do that then that is screwing with the story and the director's vision. I would trust Dattebayo to keep that intact nad would hope CR takes them up on their offer to help sub.

Alvirne and Portsmouth seek to defend softball crowns
By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
What happens when the top softball team in the state loses its best player? Alvirne coach Sarah Brisk is about to find out.
Alvirne has won the last two Division I titles, but will be without pitcher/first baseman Taylor Carbone this spring. Carbone, last year's Union Leader Player of the Year, was a four-year pitcher/first baseman for the Broncos, but is now playing for the University of Massachusetts.
Carbone had a 15-2 record and a .571 batting average last season.
"Taylor was an outstanding player, but she would tell you that it takes a team to win a championship," Brisk said. "She had a strong supporting cast."
The Broncos still have four players who played on both championship teams. That group includes senior first baseman/third baseman Chelsey Drew and senior center fielder Mikayla Powlowsky, both of whom will play Division I softball at Siena College next season.
Brisk, a former Alvirne player who is in her second season as the program's head coach, said Timberlane of Plaistow, Merrimack, Salem and Manchester Central will be among the contenders this season.
"We just need to continue playing strong defense and get some timely hitting," Brisk said.
Like Brisk, Portsmouth coach Kim Grenon guided her team to a state championship in her first season as a head coach. Portsmouth defeated Kennett in the Division II championship game.
The Clippers will also have to replace their No. 1 pitcher, as Mariah Crisp is now playing at Keene State College. Crisp tossed eight shutouts and two no-hitters in 20 games in the circle last season.
The Clippers return five starters from last year's team, and picked up a transfer from Epping, Michelle Razak, who is expected to be one of the team's top pitchers.
"The biggest shoes to fill are Mariah's, but everything else looks good," Grenon said. "Everyone is talking about us having a rebuilding year, but I'm not sure that's going to happen."
White Mountains of Whitefield looks like a solid choice to repeat as the Division III champion. The Spartans return eight starters from the team that beat Stevens of Claremont in last year's Division III title game. The returnees include sophomore Rebecca Hicks (coach's daughter), who collected four hits, four RBIs and scored twice in victory over Stevens.
"If we stay healthy we should be pretty tough," White Mountains coach Forrest Hicks said. "They're a very committed group."
Wilton-Lyndeborough coach Denny Claire has guided his teams to six championships in his 26 years as the program's head coach. The most recent title came last spring, when the Warriors beat Profile of Bethlehem in the Division IV championship game.
Wilton-Lyndeborough returns seven starters from that team, but pitcher Samantha Broderick is not one of them. Broderick, last year's Division IV Player of the Year, pitched the Warriors into the championship game in three of the last four years.

NEW YORK — Don't blame Beyonce for blowing the lights out at the Super Bowl.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday that the halftime show was not the cause of the power outage that darkened the Superdome for half an hour during Sunday's broadcast.
"There's no indication at all that this was caused by the halftime show. Absolutely not. I know that's been out there that this halftime show had something to do with it. That is not the case," Goodell said.
Beyonce was the halftime performer at Sunday night's game and used plenty of power to light up the stage. Some had joked that her electrifying performance was to blame for the outage.
But the halftime show was running on its own generator, said Goodell and Doug Thornton, a vice-president of SMG, the company that manages the Superdome.
"It was not on our power grid at all," Thornton said, adding that the metered power consumption went down during halftime because the house lights were down.
Beyonce's 13-minute set included hits "Crazy in Love," "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and a Destiny's Child reunion.
The energetic performance was sung live days after she admitted she sang to a pre-recorded track at President Barack Obama's inauguration. And it won applause from critics who called it a major improvement over Madonna, who sang to a backing track last year, and the Black Eyed Peas' much-criticized halftime show in 2011.
Alicia Keys performed the national anthem on piano before the game, and Jennifer Hudson sang "America the Beautiful" with the 26-member Sandy Hook Elementary School chorus.
Beyonce posted on her blog that she was proud to be among those female talents, which included her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
"What a proud day for AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN!!!!," she wrote. "You are all beautiful, talented and showed so much class! It was an honour to perform at the Superbowl with you phenomenal ladies."
Beyonce announced Monday that her "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" will kick off April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia. The European leg of the tour will wrap up May 29 in Stockholm, Sweden.
The tour's North American stint starts June 28 in Los Angeles and ends Aug. 3 in Brooklyn, N.Y., at the Barclays Center.
It was also announced Monday that a second wave of the tour is planned for Latin America, Australia and Asia later this year.
Meanwhile, it appears Canadians were as rabid for the Super Bowl as their American neighbours.
The game attracted an average audience of 7.33 million viewers on CTV and RDS, according to preliminary overnight data from BBM Canada. That made it the most-watched program of the broadcast year in this country, CTV said in a release.
Overall, more than 18.2 million viewers in Canada watched some or all of the game on RDS or CTV, the network said.

No. 91,678
Portions of K.S.A. 38-1666 are construed and applied.
Appeal from Douglas District Court; JEAN F. SHEPHERD, judge. Opinion filed July 30, 2004. Affirmed.
Juanita M. Carlson, of Carlson Law Office, P.A., of Lawrence, for appellant.
Bethany C. Daniels, assistant district attorney, Christine E. Kenney, district attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., GREEN and MARQUARDT, JJ.
RULON, C.J.: S.J.K. appeals from the district court's denial of his K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1501 petition. We affirm.
On May 22, 2001, S.J.K. was adjudicated a juvenile offender for having committed burglary, which would be a level 7 nonperson felony if he were an adult. On August 31, 2001, he was placed on probation for 12 months pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663(1). On October 11, 2001, S.J.K. was found to be in violation of his probation and was placed on order of assignment with Douglas County Youth Services (DCYS) for an unspecified period of time. The order included 20 conditions that S.J.K. was to follow and successfully complete or face an out-of-home placement.
On multiple occasions, S.J.K. was found to be in violation of his order of assignment and was given sanctions. On May 22, 2002, S.J.K. was found to be in violation of his order of assignment and was placed on order of assignment with DCYS on house arrest with electronic monitoring until "the ISP Officer feels the Respondent can be trusted."
On March 26, 2003, S.J.K. was ordered detained pending a violations hearing. On April 9, 2003, S.J.K. was placed in the custody of the Juvenile Justice Authority for out-of-home placement. As a result, S.J.K. was placed at Keys Youth Services, Olathe Boys Home.
S.J.K. filed a K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1501 petition on July 1, 2003. S.J.K. alleged that he was illegally detained pursuant to the underlying juvenile offender case. The district court denied the petition, finding there was nothing illegal in the detention order and that S.J.K.'s claims were without merit. The court found that when ordered to youth services, the juvenile offenders participate until they successfully complete the program.
In determining whether the district court's interpretation of a statute was erroneous, the standard of review is unlimited. Cooper v. Werholtz, 277 Kan. 250, 252, 83 P.3d 1212 (2004). "Additionally, in cases involving habeas corpus relief pursuant to K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 60-1501, an appellate court's review of the district court's conclusions of law is unlimited. Darnell v. Simmons, 30 Kan. App. 2d 778, 780, 48 P.3d 1278 (2002)." 277 Kan. at 252.
It is a fundamental rule of statutory construction, to which all other rules are subordinate, that the intent of the legislature governs if that intent can be determined. When a statute is plain and ambiguous, the appellate courts will not speculate as to the legislative intent and will not read the statute so as to add something not readily found in it. 277 Kan. at 252-53.
S.J.K. argues that the district court erred in dismissing his K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1501 action because he is being illegally detained in a probation status without an extension of his probation. S.J.K. asserts his original 12-month probation expired August 31, 2002, and the court was without jurisdiction to order him detained after that date.
S.J.K.'s main argument is with the court's jurisdiction to order him detained on March 26, 2003. The issue is whether S.J.K. was on probation status pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663(a)(1) or whether he was committed to a community based program pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663(a)(6). K.S.A. 38-1666 governs how the court should proceed if there is found to be a violation of probation. K.S.A. 38-1666 states that "[i]f the court finds at the hearing that the juvenile offender violated a condition of probation or placement, the court may extend or modify the terms of probation or placement or enter another sentence." See In re C.A.D., 11 Kan. App. 2d 13, 15, 711 P.2d 1336 (1985).
The record indicates that S.J.K. was found to be in violation of his probation on October 11, 2001, and he was placed in a community based program pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663(a)(6) at this time. Although not specifically stated in the journal entry, the original period of probation was revoked. No specific time frame for the new placement was given. S.J.K. argues that because the adult criminal code has specific time frames, the juvenile system should likewise.
"The primary goal of the juvenile justice code is to promote public safety, hold juvenile offenders accountable for such juvenile's behavior and improve the ability of juveniles to live more productively and responsibly in the community." K.S.A. 38-1601. K.S.A. 38-1663 contains numerous options that the court may select to sentence a juvenile offender. Two of the options are explicitly limited in time, while the other options do not have explicit time frames identified. In this case, the district court noted that juveniles were sentenced to the community based program with the intent that they complete the program, rather than for a specific length of time. The juvenile justice code focuses on accountability and rehabilitation while the adult code focuses on accountability and punishment. See K.S.A. 38-1601. K.S.A. 38-1663(a)(6) allows the court to commit the juvenile to a community based program "subject to the terms and conditions the court orders."
Although S.J.K. argues the court no longer had jurisdiction after the original order of probation expired on August 31, 2002, the end date of the original probation order is a moot point because he was resentenced and placed on an order of assignment with DCYS on October 11, 2001. Until S.J.K. successfully completed the program, he was subject to the jurisdiction of the court. Because S.J.K. had not yet successfully completed the program pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1663(a)(6), he was still subject to the jurisdiction of the court at the detention hearing on March 26, 2003. The district court properly dismissed the K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1501 petition.
