So, I have all of this coffee sitting around my house, whole bean. Was wondering if you guys have any ideas of what to do with it, besides brewing (Which I do, but working in a coffee shop kinda makes it redundant) and baking (My oven's busted :<). Open to most stuff :D
Coffee fudge. Make really strong café au lait and use that instead of the milk in a fudge recipe.
My blog is Food and Shoes
First thing I thought of was chocolate-covered coffee beans. (http://gifts-chocolate.net/chocolate-covered-coffee-beans)
I found a couple other things too:
Coffee bean cookies (http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/860/Coffee-Bean-Cookies79597.shtml)
Almond and coffee bean brittle (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/21354/almond+and+coffee+bean+brittle)
Coffee bean syrup (http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/bananas-in-coffee-bean-syrup)
All of those sound good! YAy, I need to try those...
my uncle is an artist and he usually paints with black coffee as if it was sepia watercolor. It's so cool :D
My bento blog: http://justbento.com/blog/1305
My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
A mole would be good, you can use it on meats, eggs, and in general dishes. Chocolate, coffee, and spice.... yum. Here is a chicken recipe I found just as an example:
Make Kahlua.
Soak the cracked beans in everclear or a clear rum or whiskey.
when it gets kinda dark, strain out the beans and add simple syrup and cream to taste.
Woila! Kahlua.
That plus a little grey goose and a vanilla bean as flavoring in a homemade ice cream=
White Russian Ice Cream!
Zero Aggression Principle
Scot's-Irish Coffee:
Dark brewed coffee in coffee mugs with a little space left. Add a shot of Bourbon or Tennessee whiskey. Add an oz of cream or half and half. Add real dark amber grade b maple syrup as a sweetener to taste. Add cinnamon to taste. Stir and enjoy one sip at a time.

In summary, "&$reference" means "do-not-copy-on-write the value here, in perpetuity". Assigning by reference is not assignment, it's "make &$variable a reference and its value do-not-copy-on-write, in perpetuity, and make the variable I'm assigning to use that do-not-copy-on-write value as well".
To "unreference/unalias" you have to either unset or make an explicit copy into a new variable.
Object properties that are references will survive cloning and remain references. Generally the same is true with references in arrays and PHP's array functions (combine, intersect, call_user_func, func_get_args, etc).
Calling a function that uses a reference parameter will *make* the supplied variable a reference. This is also true when using variadic array expansion for arguments; the supplier's array element will become a reference.
Generally, don't use them unless you're dealing with low-level calls, or need an accumulator, etc. For poorly designed functions that use them, give them a copy to mangle.

Brian Azzarello, a comics author who is writing the mini-series for the Watchmen characters Rorschach and the Comedian, said he expected an initial wave of resistance because "a lot of comic readers don't like new things."
― ledge, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 12:28 (six years ago) Permalink
"It's our responsibility as publishers to find new ways to keep all of our characters relevant," said DC Entertainment Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee. "After twenty five years, the Watchmen are classic characters whose time has come for new stories to be told. We sought out the best writers and artists in the industry to build on the complex mythology of the original."

"I think the gut reaction is going to be, 'Why?' " Mr. Azzarello said in a telephone interview. "But then when the actual books come out, the answer will be, 'Oh, that's why.'

Len Wein + John Higgins = look folks, we have half the original creative team from Watchmen in EVERY ISSUE!
I think both Darwyn Cooke and Len Wein have done some great comics, but I can't see how anyone thought either of them would be a good choice for a Watchmen comic, since they both predate the deconstruction era (Cooke in spirit, Wein in his actual career) that Watchmen kicked in.
Azzarello probably can do the grim & gritty deconstruction thing, but if his Joker mini (which was an awful attempt to take the Heath Ledger "edgy emo Joker" TO THE EXTREME) is anything to judge by, his Watchmen will have all of the grittiness and none of the humanism of Moore's original.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 2 February 2012 08:47 (six years ago) Permalink
Just watched the Ultimate cut of Watchmen out of curiosity. The Black Frieghter stuff is jarring and not-that-well integrated, but the added other (live-action) material def helps flesh out the universe a bit, makes the whole thing into a more agreeable shape. Also, I'd forgotten just how perfect Patrick Wilson and especially Billy Crudup are in it.

The violence, unfortunate old-age discrepancies (JDM's supposed to be pushing 70?) and awkward dialogue lifting still the principal issues for me. Still a fair sight better (not to mention more fun) than, say, TDKR.

Mr. Moore, who has disassociated himself from DC Comics and the industry at large, called the new venture "completely shameless."
Speaking by telephone from his home in Northampton, England, Mr. Moore said, "I tend to take this latest development as a kind of eager confirmation that they are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago."
Love you, Alan.

If they want to adapt some Moore property, why not Top 10? Unlike Watchmen, the concept is tailor-made for a TV series. Though I guess the whole premise would be too expensive to produce for television?
If they did do Top 10 though, I'd love to see the flame wars that'd follow the transporter accident episode: "OMG, they stole that light vs. darkness monologue from True Detective!".

Delphine Dauba-Pantanacce
Paris, France
Class Year:
Prior Education:
D.E.S.S. in International Transportation (Major: Air Transportation), University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Master of Law, Private Law, University of Paris 10 Nanterre
What I Did Before Law School:
I worked for a law firm specialized in New Technologies, and I also worked for two companies.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I chose Penn Law because it is one of the top law schools in the U.S., known especially for its academic excellence. The University of Pennsylvania is a member of the famous Ivy League community. Moreover, it is really nice to study on such a beautiful campus.
I also chose Penn Law because I had the opportunity to take classes at the Wharton School which was really interesting and enriching from a lawyer's prospective.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
I had a terrific experience at Penn Law during the whole year. Thanks to the LL.M., I met many different international students and we talked a lot about our cultures, our countries and families. I also enjoyed meeting the J.D.s who were really welcoming.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
I was impressed by Professor Stuart Diamond because it was a very practical class.
My Favorite Course:
I liked Negotiation & Persuasion class taught by Professor Diamond. It is challenging to learn that anything could be negotiable, and also to learn how to put ourselves in others' shoes to better understand them.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
I had so many favorite moments in Philly: it is a great city, very well located between D.C., NYC and the Ocean!
Each area in Philly has a soul. I was living in front of the Art Museum, and I loved running past the boat houses, ending up at the stairs of the Museum — enjoying running up like Rocky!
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I was proud of getting into an Ivy League Law School, and I am really proud of being a Penn Alumni!
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
I was part of French lunches organized by a J.D. Any student who wanted to speak in French could join us during lunch time each week.
I helped promote the LLM in Paris!
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
I loved walking down Locust Walk, getting coffee with my friends at the Buck's County Coffee in front of the Law School, and sitting in the courtyard of the Law School watching squirrels playing together! But the Clock is one of my favorite places.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Former MIT head baseball coach, Fran O'Brien, has been named the recipient of the Ethics in Coaching Award by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) the organization has announced. O'Brien will receive the award at the ABCA National Convention in January.
O'Brien was the head baseball coach at MIT from 1969-1996, with his 28 years at the helm of the Engineers program making him the longest tenured baseball coach in MIT baseball history. Taking over a program that had posted just one winning season, O'Brien turned MIT into a contender in the Greater Boston League. He led the program to winning seasons in five of his first seven years at the helm, including the 1974 campaign that saw the Engineers set a then school record for wins with a 15-9 record and reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. O'Brien's 255 victories still stands as the most by an MIT baseball coach.
During O'Brien's career he shared with his players a value system that highlights integrity and honesty. His commitment to being a teacher of baseball and life allowed him to impact hundreds of young people and earned him the respect of the baseball community throughout New England.
O'Brien, who also coached basketball at MIT, went on from Tech to coach baseball at Holy Cross from 1998-2004. He has also coached at the youth and high school level as well as in the Cape Cod League where he was selected as the Manager of the Year in 1990.

Looks literally like a scaled up iPhone 4.
Is there no originality left in the world?
Your comment answers your question.
There is plenty of business in taking a very small slice of someone else's pie, ( in this case the bottom slice.)
it will make clear telephone calls unlike Lemon 4 with it's death grip antenna problems.
Funny, when I saw the new iPhone I only thought "Nokia released a new phone???"
a 7-inch tablet running Android 2.2, phone functionality, front and back-facing 3MP cameras and VGA resolution display, a capacitive multi-touch screen and supports 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and comes with a full size SIM slot. Also good for VoIP or mobile phone calls and it will have an auto G sensor that reorients the screen.
A 10 inch version is also coming:
Have to agree about the originality. After all PCW magazine mocked up what future PC's might look like in the early 1980's, a glass touchscreen slab about 7" big, roughly the same form factor as an iPhone, with an icon grid interface in the artists impression...
The iPhone isn't quite as pretty - it's originality is that round the display instead of a edge to edge glass surface. The iPad is obviously much bigger. How original ;)
Of course Apple do seem to believe they have an exclusive license to implement other peoples ideas.
..to make it look a bit like an iPad. I mean really, missed opportunity...
So it's got the screen of a £40 photo frame and costs £350. No thanks. Also going to be useless for reading PDFs or ebooks as it is won't have enough depth (480 vs 600 for most ebook readers).
How is this different form the myriad of £60 Chinese ebook tablets that are flooding fleaBay?
main stream producers is that you can get warranty repairs and get access to the Google App store.
For a start, those all have resistive screens and run Android 1.5. And no 3G or phone functionality.
because Google doesn't let non-phones into the Android Marketplace
looks a nice bit of kit, if only anyone would tell us some spec other than the price.
No details of CPU, screen size, screen type (is it multi touch?)
This is only the first of a raft of pads and tablets coming out of S.E. Asia. I guess since this will have a telephone feature it will also be allowed access to Google's App store, Flash, no censorship, etc.
A word of caution: Don't buy any Android pad until OS 3.0+ is released as it has special pad features included.
I assume that as I bothered to read the article, its a phone and it runs Andorid 2.2, which makes it a different beast to a boggo eBook reader. I hope this answers your question....
Viewsonic stuff is usually OK. We used their monitors at work quite a bit. I'd see one running in the flesh before dismissing it.
You get what you pay for, you want a "real" iPad, stump up the money for one (and you won't even get a phone on it... )
I like my general purpose computing device to be capable of doing general stuff, and as this isn't going to be much use for creating media it should at least allow me to consume media in an efficient fashion. Scrolling around badly rendered PDFs just won't cut it.
Until someone comes up with a device that's not tied to the devil's own reality distortion field I think I'll stick to my trusty laptop. This fashion for widescreen displays is nice for watching movies, but website viewing and document reading is less than optimal.
Android shmandroid, I'd have something like a Viliv S5 but with half the weight and a sensible aspect ratio, then I can choose whether to run Windows, Linux or whatever and not be tied to a marketplace or be trapped by some megalomaniac's idea of what the web should look like.
Ok, it's a flat, thin, rectangular electronic slab with a touch-screen on one surface - what, exactly, can you do to/with this form factor design to differentiate one very much from another?
When anyone suggests that these things are copying an iWhatever I can't help but recall that this is exactly how I imagined a touchscreen device would look back when mobile phones only had numeric keypads.
OK, so having a black screen border and metallic sides is a bit of a design decision -- but blandness is always going to be part of the design of something with no buttons.
I was tempted, then I realised I probably want the 10in model, especially as that one has Windows 7 and Android. Leave it running Android and turn off the phone+GPS to keep the battery topped up, then you have a laptop about in reserve when you need it.
Bugger the iPad, that an Android+WINtel tablet really is a laptop replacement. Just hope it isn't horrendously expensive.
that some decent Android based tablets are finally starting to appear, but ye gods! The price! People who want an Android tablet are not the same as the ones who buy iPads. We won't pay fashion-statement prices. When something like this costs half of what they're currently asking or less, I'd buy one. The price they're asking today? Not a chance.

Are you searching for tattoo ideas? Some of the popular looked for pieces of art are Celtic, Butterfly, Dragons, Tribal, Rose/Flower, Heart, Angel and Cross tattoo designs.One of the most popular and symbolic tattoos offered is nothing but the rose tattoo.
tribal rose tattoos
Many people may think of a rose as being a tattoo for women only, but that is not the case.Because a rose can either be made into a feminine or masculine design, rose tattoos are one of the most universal tattoos available.
Rose is the universal symbol of beauty.The rose denotes eagerness and liveliness and also devotions and love.In Christian cultures, roses have been used as symbols both for Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. French Poet Jean Richepin quoted the following lines.
this is not necessarily true with rose tattoos. In fact, the rose tattoo has an incredibly rich history and expresses a great depth of symbolism. For instance, in the 1500s rose tattoos were given to prisoners who were about to be executed.
Nowadays, the significance of a rose tattoo can be whatever the wearer chooses it to be. Often linked with romance, beauty and love, they can also represent the memory of a dead loved one or hold a profound religious association—the red of a rose symbolizing the blood of Jesus Christ.

NREL Designing Microgrid to Back Up USAFA Critical Loads
January 30, 2013
NREL grid and dispatchable power experts are helping the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, develop a system to maintain power to critical loads when power is unavailable from the local utility. Under an agreement with USAFA and in collaboration with Colorado Springs Utilities, NREL will design a USAFA microgrid using its Continuously Optimized Reliable Energy (CORE) Microgrid Design process.
The four-step CORE process evaluates existing reports, gathers data, analyzes designs, and monitors project implementation and installation. The data gathering and preliminary generation design evaluation phases are nearly complete. Generation options identified during the preliminary evaluation include combined heat and power, energy storage, and PV. The design analysis phase will include detailed analysis of up to three microgrid configurations.
Learn more about NREL's microgrid design expertise and work with theU.S. Department of Defense.

While some homeowners see their abodes as shelter from the elements, others want to embrace nature and invite it inside. Some homes are designed with prominent features that bring the outdoors in.
This is not simply a matter of throwing together a few house plants, or including lots of windows and sliding glass doors or planning for a stone accent wall or some exposed wooden beams. Some homeowners, designers and architects take their love of nature further by bringing in, and building in, parts of the outside.
The collection ahead, including homes from Luxury Portfolio International and numerous builders architects and designers, has homes that incorporate trees, cave-like elements, the desert, and more.

Sorry I've been gone for a while…sometimes life gets in the way. But I have to say that as I use Dark Fire more and more, I become increasingly aware that it gives a whole new set of possibilities for guitar. In some ways, I see its relationship to guitar as the relationship synthesizers have with pianos – pianos didn't become any less cool after synths appeared, but thanks to the synth, keyboard players had a whole new sonic palette.
Which brings us to GearFest, Sweetwater's annual open-to-the-public event that features seminars, workshops, gear tents, a flea market, and lots of exhibitors showing off cool stuff. For GearFest 09, EQ magazine wanted to sponsor my doing a seminar on amp sims in the Sweetwater Performance Theater (Fig. 1), and of course, how could I say no?
Fig. 1: Part of the seminar included techniques for "mastering" the amp sim sound with EQ to create a smoother, creamier tone. Photo Credit: J. Perry.
Actually, the airlines almost said "no" instead. I was slated to arrive in Fort Wayne, Indiana (where Sweetwater is located) the night before, so I could make sure all the elements were in place for a successful seminar and that if I needed anything else, I could run out the next day before the show and take care of it. But I had two layovers – Denver and Minneapolis. The flight out of Denver kept getting delayed, and delayed, and delayed…finally, I called Sweetwater's Editorial Director, Mitch Gallagher, and asked him what cities were within driving distance of Fort Wayne, figuring I could fly in and rent a car.
But everything was booked or disrupted by the weather, so the only way I could get to Fort Wayne was to take the last flight out to Chicago, then get another flight out in the morning to Fort Wayne. To make matters worse, I had to check my Dark Fire for part of the haul. That alone was pretty scary (I'll spare you the suspense: It survived with nary a problem). And just to add an incredibly surreal touch, when I got off the Chicago flight well after midnight, I ran into a camera crew from the local ABC affiliate. They were interviewing former Illinois Governor Rob Blogojevich and his wife Patti, who was returning from being in a reality TV show. You can't make this stuff up.
To make a long story short (it's been long enough so far!), I ended up in Fort Wayne around noon, after about four hours' sleep, with my seminar slated for a 1PM start time. I rushed over and started setting up. All looked good until…I was getting weird, spiky noises on my Vista laptop from the Dark Fire's magnetic pickup outs. This was on my PC Audio Labs Rok Box notebook, which has always been solid as a rock. What the ?!? Fortunately Mitch had all the needed software on his MacBook Pro except for the RIP console, so I copied that over with my programs and everything was fine – I started about five minutes late, but given the circumstances, that wasn't too bad.
As it turned out – and let this be a lesson to you about updating without testing! – I had just updated to Vista 64-bit Service Pack 2 before leaving, as I'd heard it had optimized a lot of audio-related issues. However, the update turned on the background services, indexing, and other CPU-consuming stuff that had been turned off to make my computer a lean, mean audio machine. Once I figured that out, as soon as I got back home I re-tweaked my laptop and all was well again.
Anyway, using Dark Fire with Ableton Live and Native Instruments' Guitar Rig is a perfect way to demonstrate what amp sims and high-tech guitar can do. I used my 44 signature hex patches that should be posted to the Dark Fire site soon, and it was very interesting to see everyone's reaction as I played the guitar equivalent of splits and layers, as well as some fun effects like tape style flanging and hex distortion pads (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2: Dark Fire in action. The hex patches (with Live serving as a host program for live performance) were definitely the ones that interested the crowd the most. Photo Credit: J. Perry
I was a little surprised that 72 people attended, especially during a work day, because I had thought of the whole high-tech guitar thing as a bit of a niche. Not so. There was a lot of interest among not just the people who attended, but countless others watching the streamed seminar over the internet. As one person said to me when he left, "You've completely changed my mind about amp sims." I think part of the interest was I didn't spend much time trying to sound like a synthesizer, or like a conventional guitar for that matter. I mostly used patches that created new types of sounds - clearly "guitaristic" in nature, but not something people had heard before.
And I also made a mental note of one more application for robot tuning: I've always felt it was great for the studio as well as live, but it's also wonderful for seminars, because there's no "dead air" when you tune your guitar – and besides, the audience loves seeing those tuners turn when you do.
All in all, it was a lot of fun. In the process of preparing for the seminar, I also found a new type of recording technique that's especially well-suited to Dark Fire – but we've covered enough for now, so that will be the subject of the next entry.
[Note: As I write this, it's just been announced that Les Paul passed away. His impact on the world of guitar, music, and recording is incalculable, and I offer my deepest condolences to his family, friends, associates, and fans, If it wasn't for him and Bob Moog, I doubt my life would have taken the path it did. Rest in piece, Les.]

The story about how secure boot for Windows 8, part of UEFI, will hinder the use of non-signed binaries and operating systems, like Linux, has registered at Redmond as well. The company posted about it on the Building Windows 8 blog - but didn't take any of the worries away. In fact, Red Hat's Matthew Garrett, who originally broke this story, has some more information - worst of which is that Red Hat has received confirmation from hardware vendors that some of them will not allow you to disable secure boot.

You do realize that not only are your numbers off, but also your entire point.
The PC took off for the very reason that it was easily modifiable. Security has never been a concern. All a manufacturer who doesn't include the ability to shut off the "secure boot" option does is shoot themselves in the foot.

text: Welcome to the sixth race of the FSR 2011 World Series season at Barcelona! Despite concerned voices from Lee Morris, I can ensure the administrator will remain fully functional and as impartial as a mirror . You will find the password for this event by logging on GPCOS and looking at the password field which is next to the server's IP address. Before proceeding to the event, pay attention to the following: Due to the number of allocated drivers being less than 27, a pre-qualifying session is not organized. Following drivers (25) have gained the right to participate in the Race: Start from back of the grid (4): Schedule: The Free Practice session will be 10 minutes in length. Every participating driver should join as soon as possible after the server opens to make sure that they don't miss the start of Qualifying and also to make sure that their game is configured & working properly. The Qualifying 1 session will be 10 minutes in length and will be run in the "Practice 2" session. Drivers can use what ever setup they want, as long as they only drive with qualifying fuel loads. The Qualifying 2 session will be 5 minutes in length. Only the top 10 drivers from Qualifying 1 will be allowed to go out on track. Drivers will be allowed to do one flying lap (one outlap, hotlap and inlap). Parc Ferme will be enforced. You will only be allowed to change your fuel load, engine boost, engine brakemap, front wing angle, steering lock, brake balance and brake pressure after the session is over, so make sure you have your race setup loaded when entering Qualifying 2. The session will be closed, meaning if you happen to join late, or for some reason drop out of the server during the session, you will not be able to rejoin the server until the server has moved to Warmup. The Warmup session will be 10 minutes in length. While in the garage, make sure you add the appropriate amount of fuel in to your car for the race. Remember, refueling is banned. You can drive freely in the Warmup session to try to get a feel for the heavier car after qualifying on low fuel. The Race will be 66 laps long. Drive safely during the race, especially at the start and the first lap in general. Red Flags will NOT be used unless in very specific situations which are specified in the rule documents. The Safety car will not be available for use.

The Southeastern Regional Transit Authority plans to introduce night service on selected routes by June, administrator Erik Rousseau said Wednesday.
NEW BEDFORD — The Southeastern Regional Transit Authority plans to introduce night service on selected routes by June, administrator Erik Rousseau said Wednesday.
"Most areas around us have service later into the evenings. ... Why not the SouthCoast?" Rousseau said, adding that advocates have pushed for extended hours. "The region deserves night service."
The night service will start as a pilot program and likely apply to about 10 routes, with the last bus returning to the main terminal at 9 p.m., Rousseau said. Now most of SRTA's 27 lines stop running between 6 and 7 p.m.
Some of the routes being considered include the Fall River-New Bedford line, as well as the well-trafficked routes that connect to campuses and malls, Rousseau said.
"There's no way we'd be able to extend all of our routes," he said, pointing to costs. "We're trying to make as much coverage as possible."
Rousseau said he did not have an estimate of how much the extended service would cost. He said he hoped it would last through June 2014.
"One of the things we're trying to trying to balance is being as aggressive as we can to try to roll out, but also make sure it's sustainable," he said.
The extended hours would be part of a series of changes the transit system has unveiled in the last year.
In January, the service started a new fare system that offers reusable cards and eliminated zone pricing in favor of a set fee.
This fall, SRTA also began offering night and Sunday service to "demand response" riders, disabled passengers who qualify for door-to-door service.

And to answer your question, regarding another season of Code Geass, we will know soon enough when Sunrise announce it. However, that might not happen for a few short years down the road as Sunrise is very busy with their Gundam projects in celebration of its 30th anniversary.
My impression is that if there is another Code Geass, it'll likely be a very different series with a different cast. However, if they want to bring back Lelouch, then a remake of the original series would be the alternate option as Lelouch died at the end of Code Geass R2.

yea your rite.but thaxs for tellin me.. but i got another ? question to ask of you guy's in the ending of code geass R2 the last eps 24. when c. c was talking she said the power of the kings, know as geass, bring some one solitude . right lelouch?
im still kinda confuses on that one. while carrying c2 on the carriage there was some one there . but i though that was suzaku but yet there showing its lu lu
and im geting report on graphic novel showing and telling. That suzaku reall did die in the fight, and im like wounder how bec. he stab lulu so they go on about how c2 pray to the gods and gave to lelouch her immortal power but not enough to kill her.
then in the Japanese manga she does die in the end but by another way. which i seem to have forgotten. .
so can any one help clarify me on this. im like >.<

Your grammar is terribly confusing, I have to say. I'm having trouble deciphering what you mean. None of the novels have anything to do with the show. In the show, Lelouch is dead, Suzaku is Zero, and C.C. was talking to herself.

Suzaku is wearing the costume of Zero and the mask. He is now Nunnally's Knight and protector, just as Lelouch had wanted him to be.
Lelouch was killed by Suzaku because he had wanted to unite the world's hatred upon him. Thus, once Suzaku had killed Lelouch, the world would move on to create a better global society. It is quite similar to Adolf Hitler and the Axis Powers when he united the world against him in World War II.
In addition, Lelouch had wanted to die to atone for his sins of all the people he had killed because of his geass powers. For Lelouch, death was the only escape from not only the world, but from the contract that C.C. had imposed on him, which was to take her immortal code by killing her. Lelouch has cheated C.C. from her wish to die.
The cart driver who was carrying c2 on the carriage was not Lelouch. Even though they never show his face, which they should have done.
C.C. was just talking to herself about the Geass and how it makes people alone. But Lelouch used the Geass to bring the world together.
As far as everyone is concerned, this version of Code Geass R2 is over. Lelouch dies and his soul is sent to C's World to the life that he had always wanted.
Although, I still think that Lelouch's death was a pathetic act to leave his problems behind. Lelouch should STAYED alive to face his problems head on. This would have been a more satisfying end for the series by giving Lelouch the CODE as his true sin to bear. Lelouch didn't deserve to go to C's World. Lelouch deserve to inherit Charles' CODE as his punishment.

They probably just dropped that last part in for the purposes of fanfiction. -_- A lot of the Lelouch is alive again fanfics feature or have something to do with that last part with C.C. talking to somebody/something/herself.

I always saw the part where she is "talkiing" to lelouche/herself as she is just talking to him in his world,like she did with Marianne and V.V. Not as proof that he is alive. He did it to atone for his sins. I hated that ending,if everyone else has to keep on living with thier hands drenched in sin and blood,so should he. LuLu shouldn't have to take the easy route and just die.

Question: I thought that peple who were geassed had no recollection of being geassed. I was just watching R2 Turn 8 again and it seems that Suzaku vividly remembers being geassed. Did V.V somehow restore his memories of the event? or does it have to due with Suzaku's weird connection to geass that was never explained?

Come to think of it, how many of us would still be talking about Code Geass if Lelouch had gotten the type of ending that we had wanted to see, one year later? Most of us would not be debating about the series as much as we are now.
I believe that the creators wanted to create the type of ending that would cause the fans to write letters to Sunrise demanding them to continue making more Code Geass stories and merchandise. Thus, this might be the reason why Code Geass has held up quite well, one year after the anime ended. This is why I am confident that Sunrise will give Taniguchi and Okouchi the option to do another Code Geass project in the near future. I believe that the creators desire to return Code Geass to the original format that was aimed at the more mature, late night audience, which they had wanted for Season 2.
Although I would not mind the idea of Taniguchi and Okouchi jointly working on an original Code Geass manga storyline, with CLAMP doing the illustrations.

That's a formula that Tourism Ireland, flush from the success of The Gathering, hope to perfect in Ireland next year.
According to The Daily Edge the Irish tourist organization has drawn up elaborate plans to target hipsters across Great Britain to entice them to visit the emerald isle.
Hipsters, like the gays, are known as the ultimate 'social energisers,' that's why Tourism Ireland has teamed up with Isle of Wight festival Bestival (a hipster magnet) that takes place this weekend, as well as the UK alternative national radio station XFM.
The plan is to present Ireland as an 'exciting, vibrant and cool destination.'
To get the message out Tourism Ireland plan to entice the trust fund skinny jeans types attending the festival to come and try an 'immersive theatre' experience that will give them a little foretaste of the actual country, providing a short simulated tour through Dublin and Belfast.
'Stepping aboard a 'Shenanigans Airways' flight, they'll be dressed in rugby gear and allowed to practice their Irish accents before finishing up with a big, lively Irish party.'
The idea is that the latest narrowly targeted demographic lure will resonate strongly with tourism reps.
XFM will reportedly be broadcasting some of the performances on their breakfast show as well as broadcasting live from locations in Dublin and Belfast to talk listeners through the 'gas craic.'
Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland's British head said: 'By transporting festival-goers to Dublin and Belfast through our immersive theatre experience, we're hoping to show them that Ireland is a unique and different destination – and inspire them to begin planning a city break in Ireland very soon.'

Linda Tellington-Jones, PhD (Hon)
Founder of Tellington TTouch Training
Linda Tellington-Jones' highly effective and revolutionary approach to working with animals has brought her worldwide recognition. She is the founder and president of Tellington TTouch Training with certified TTouch practitioners for horses, companion animals and humans in 27 countries.
Her pioneering work has its roots in a philosophy that sees all beings -- humans and animals alike -- as reflections of a Divine Whole. The Tellington Method was first created 4 decades ago as a system of animal training, healing and communication that allows people to relate to animals in a deeper, more compassionate way -- a way that furthers inter-species connection and honors the body, mind and spirit of both animals and their people. She is the author of 17 books in 13 languages.
In 2007 she was awarded an honorary PhD from Wisdom University and appointed as Chair for the Wisdom University Institute of Interspecies Connections.Learn more about Linda Tellington-Jones»
Robyn Hood
Robyn Hood, Senior Instructor of the Tellington TTouch Method, Editor of Staying In TTouch Newsletter and Linda's youngest sister, has been riding horses since before she could walk. She went through Pony Club and showed as a junior competitor in Alberta. She later attended and then instructed at the Pacific Coast School of Horsemanship in California owned by her sister Linda Tellington-Jones. Robyn competed successfully in hunter, jumper, three-day eventing, endurance, western events and more recently in gaited horses.
In 1982 Robyn became involved full-time with the TTEAM and TTouch work which was developed by her sister Linda. For the past 17 years she has been the editor of the TTEAM Newsletter. Since 1986 she has been teaching TTEAM and TTouch on a full-time basis in Canada, the US, Europe, South Africa and Australia and spends about 160 days a year traveling. Robyn has given demonstrations and lectures at various venues including Spruce Meadows; Equitana USA and Germany; Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan; International Humane Society Conference in Vienna and Murdoch University in Perth.
Besides teaching TTEAM and TTouch on the road and at her farm in Vernon, BC, she and her husband have been importing and breeding Icelandic horses since 1976. In addition to their Icelandic herd which numbers around 80, they also share their farm with two cats, three dogs and a very talented parrot named Frances.
Edie Jane Eaton
Born in New Zealand, Edie Jane spent much of her childhood living in Ireland where her father, a Canadian diplomat, was posted. One of her first priorities upon arrival in Ireland was to find a way to get near a horse, and eventually she persuaded her parents to buy her a pony to join the donkey, a lamb, and various cats, dogs and a hamster.
Edie Jane's interest in horses was never quite outgrown and when she settled in Canada, she started a small teaching and thoroughbred breeding stable. In 1980 Edie Jane became intrigued by the Feldenkrais Method, having seen it's influence on human recovery from physical and mental impairments. A Feldenkrais Practitioner told her about Linda Tellington-Jones and a weekend demonstration in Toronto began her involvement with TTEAM and TTouch. Edie Jane's fascination with the Feldenkrais Method - the principles of which underlie the TTEAM and TTouch work - led her to become a Feldenkrais Practitioner.
She also travels the world as a TTEAM and TTouch Instructor. When not traveling and teaching, Edie Jane keeps busy with her private Feldenkrais practice and workshops, and delights in being at home with her friends, family and her garden. For more information about Edie Jane, visit her website www.ListeningToWhispers.com.
Debby Potts
For as long as she can remember, Debby knew she would spend her life working with animals. She began to live the TTouch philosophy of creative problem solving even before she had any idea this would be her life's work; she was extremely allergic to anything covered with hair or fur!
Of course she dreamed of having a dog. Her turtle named Herman and her canary, Tangie, were wonderful but it wasn't the same as thoughts of walks around the block with her very own dog. One day her parents learned that poodles didn't shed. Shoni, a silver miniature poodle, soon became her best friend.
Debby's interest in health and well-being was sparked by her childhood companion animals, and continued with her becoming one of Oregon's first board certified veterinary technicians. She grew up breeding and showing horses, which gave her an extensive background into working with many different breeds and disciplines of horses. A horse born with severe neurological damage initially brought Debby to TTEAM and TTouch in 1984 after the veterinarians had done all they could to help the filly. The amazing progress Spirit made inspired Debby to use TTEAM and TTouch to improve the lives of animals and their people on a physical, mental and emotional level.
Debby's passion for helping people and animals in a fun, positive and creative way is evident in the many workshops and trainings she teaches every year. She has been a popular speaker at various international conferences including the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the International Symposium on Rescue Dogs. She established TTouch in Japan and oversees the TTouch Companion Animal Practitioner Training there.
From the beginning, Debby has used TTouch to help humans as well as animals. Today Debby frequently works with people to help them reduce pain, recover from illness or injury and to improve mobility and function. She finds the TTouch work and philosophy to be an important part of helping people to find balance and well being in their lives. She often says, "TTouch isn't just what I do, it's who I am." TTouch philosophy has strongly influenced her life and that of her family. Her 2 wonderful sons were raised with these concepts and often asked their mom for TTouch when they had bumps and bruises.
Debby travels much of the year teaching trainings and working privately with individuals in North America, Europe, South Africa and various parts of Asia. She lives near Portland, Oregon with her human and animal family. For more information about Debby visit her website www.IntegratedAnimal.com.

Kathy Cascade
Kathy's introduction to dog training began in 1991 when a slightly wild and wonderful Alaskan Malamute puppy came into her life. Kathy and Spirit's partnership lead them to the obedience ring, participation in flyball, agility, and as a visiting Therapy Dog/Handler team in hospitals and nursing homes. Searching for a truly respectful and gentle approach to working with animals, Kathy and Spirit attended their first Tellington TTouch workshop in 1994. The work resonated so much with Kathy that she went on to complete the first two-year TTouch Practitioner Certification Program, graduating in October 1996 and later becoming an instructor in 2003.
With her professional training and experience in Physical Therapy, Kathy offers a unique perspective on the neurophysiological and sensory aspects of TTouch to her students. Known for her creative, engaging, and often-humorous teaching style, Kathy believes learning should always be fun for both humans and animals alike.
Kathy's skillful approach to working with dogs with aggression and fear issues lead her to develop a series of seminars titled S.A.N.E. Solutions for Extreme Dog Behavior. Her calm, confident demeanor serve her especially well in working with these cases, and she has had great success helping many reactive dogs make the transformation from living in a state of fear to feeling safe in the world.
Living on a 40 acre mini-farm in Stillwater, OK allows Kathy to share her life with five horses, three dogs and four cats! ! You can learn more about the four legged crew and Kathy at www.sanedogtraining.com.

Lucie Leclerc
Lucie Leclerc's third birthday gift demand of a real horse, with a stable to live in the backyard of their suburban home, was a foreshadowing of her desire to be with animals! Since she did not get the horse, after a bit of negotiation with her parents, she brought home feral cats and lost dogs instead. She has shared her life with animals ever since.
Some years later, while doing Equine Studies in Quebec she came to realize that horses were usually attached to people and detoured from her original dream -- to work with horses (alone on a mountain) -- and went on to learn, through life lessons, how to relate to people.
She soon realized that she liked to help people figure out what their dreams were and how to put them on paper in order to become reality. In her search to find a better balance in herself. she studied or experienced a variety of alternative therapies and eventually completed a Bachelor in Biology.
At a time when she was looking for an alternative approach to help one of her dogs with a health issue, she heard about Tellington TTouch. After reading a book she opted to go and see if it was just a beautiful story or if the method was as great in practice as on paper. Definitively the teachers were walking their talk and she just could not stop going to trainings from then on. As a TTouch and TTEAM student she never felt judged in her process of learning and to this day she applies that principle with animals and people alike. Her passion is looking for solutions and possibilities instead of problems, in animals as well as in people.
She relishes seeing the animals blossom towards their full potential and as a teacher loves finding ways to help people truly connect with the animals through the TTouches and understand the powerful impact that finding balance has on any being.
She brings TTouch and TTEAM to French speaking people in Quebec.
Karin Freiling
Karin Petra Freiling was born and grew up in Germany. Since her early childhood, it has been a matter of her heart to practice and communicate connection and oneness between humans and animals. She discovered multiple ways of communicating with animals. Karin did her Master's degree in Biology on the interaction between pygmy chimpanzees and zoo visitors in several zoos in Germany. In the mid 90s, she discovered the Tellington TTouch as an essential way of interspecies connection and worked with TTouch on the apes.
She is an instructor for TTouch for You the Tellington Method for Humans, and also an Instructor for TTouch for dogs, and teaches many workshops for adults and children. She has been responsible for the rehoming of countless dogs that were considered to be untrainable from a local animal shelter. She inspired Linda Tellington-Jones to develop a certification training for humans in Europe and worked closely with her to establish the first European "TTouch for You" Curriculum.
Her versatile skills include profound knowledge of whole-brain and brain friendly learning, from which she developed an improved method for optimized learning and reading. She is also a natural practitioner for psychotherapy, NLP Master, dog physiotherapist, animal behavioral therapist, and lecturer for brain fitness at a notable German academy.

Lauren Mccall
Lauren has lived in 8 different countries, including Barcelona where as a child her first experience with an animal was a lion cub; a rather unusual gift from the zoo. As the lion got older, and larger, it moved to a more suitable habitat, but the experience of forming a close understanding with an animal never left her.
After getting her MA in International Relations, Lauren embarked on a long career as a marketing specialist. Her move from England back to the US in 1998 proved to be a turning point in her life. The family Malamute's health and behavior issues drew Lauren to TTouch and animal communication. Realizing how effective TTouch was, she became a Practitioner and worked briefly as the Executive Director of the TTouch organization. Lauren continues to enjoy sharing the benefits of TTouch with people whose animals are experiencing health or behavior issues. However, it is the bond, the heart connection that TTouch enables people to make with their animal companions that truly excites her.
Through her work as an animal communicator, Lauren became interested in helping people with pet loss by presenting the animal's perspective on life and death. Her book, The Eternal Gift, is a #1 best seller in Japan. She divides her time between teaching groups and giving private sessions on TTouch and animal communication in several countries.
Lauren was made a Tellington TTouch Method Instructor for Asia, in the spring of 2010. She currently lives in Oregon with her partner, a dog, cat, rabbit and two very squeaky guinea pigs. To learn more about Lauren, visit her website www.IntegratedAnimal.com.
Lily Merklin
Lily Merklin has always loved all sorts of animals: No matter if it was slugs crowling over her hands, deer that she saw in the woods near her parent's house, her friend's dogs and horses, the family cat "Peterele", insects that scared other people or – she was fascinated by all of them already as a small child.
Later in Switzerland, Lily got to know the Tellington Method and became a physical therapist. She has a strong record in training horses and finished her studies in Psychology at Freiburg University in Germany with a thesis on animals in prisoner rehabilitation programs.
Books of hers have been published by Kosmos and she has been contributing articles to the journal "Pegasus" for many years. She is a trained Cranio and Polarity therapist, has taught courses in physical therapy as well as the TTEAM method. In her work she focuses on recognizing the individual strengths of people and animals and helping them to develop it.
Lisa Leicht
Lisa Leicht grew up in a farmer's village of one hundred souls on the border between the German and French part of Switzerland. Her parents had a well known gourmet restaurant and Lisa was fascinated with the interesting guests, telling her stories in many different languages that she unfortunately could not understand. She decided to change that as a grown up and she did; today she does her story telling and teaching in Swiss, German, French and English.
As a child, Lisa equally loved spending her days out in the woods and in the farmers' barns, communicating easily with nature and all the animals she met in a language that doesn't need words. She was always being taken care of by her dogs and cats who followed her everywhere. At the age of nine she founded an animal rescue place, to where the children of the village brought injured and harmed animals, and where they tried to heal them with food and love and their hands. Visiting the farmers and watching the people working for her parent she very early got in touch with stress and distress in people and animals. These issues have become the central themes in her life.
In her professional life she has worked in healthcare and education, marketing and event coaching. Enhancing comprehension and communication and handling stress have always been priorities. For twenty years Lisa has been studying and practicing meditation.
Because of her Jack Russell, Golfy, she got into contact with the Tellington TTouch method in 1996; this, to her was like a circle closing. Since then she has been learning and teaching the Tellington method for companion animals and their humans. Lisa is also a certified TTouch four YOU practitioner, dog trainer and adult teacher. She sometimes writes articles for the German Tellington Newsletter, loves giving interviews, organizes the Swiss Companion Animal Practitioner Training and is on the board of the Swiss Tellington Association.
She gives demonstrations and workshops for people, dogs, cats and rabbits in Switzerland and France, trains therapy and assistant dogs and their people and loves working with children and old animals. Together with a befriended agronomist she is currently working on a TTouch program for cows.
She plans to offer the first Tellington TTouch Training for dog professionals in France in 2013.
Eugénie Chopin
Congratulates to Eugénie Chopin for becoming the first TTouch Instructor in South Africa! Eugénie was recently honoured by Linda Tellington-Jones at a Tellington TTouch Celebration in Santa Fe, New Mexico for her years of work in this field along with her tireless energy in promoting the work in South Africa.
Eugénie is American born from Louisiana, although she has now been in South Africa for over 35 years. She was an animal lover from a young age but was never allowed a dog as a child as her father was handicapped and on crutches. She maintains she's still trying to make up for it! Eugénie came to TTouch when her dog SPCA special, Danilo became the neighbourhood villain and bully. After trying many traditional methods she came upon TTouch, which not only changed both their lives, but probably saved Danilo's as well. Eugénie maintains that most unwanted behaviours that clients want to work with, she has experienced with Danilo, and so empathy and experience come fairly easily!
The results with Danilo were so amazing that Eugénie soon wanted to share the work and thus began the Tellington TTouch Program in South Africa. She runs this Program and the TTouch Office in South Africa and works to ensure that practitioners stay current with new techniques as well as old ones. The program has been running since 2001 and South Africa now boasts over 75 Practitioners.
Eugénie has a Master's degree in Applied Music and spent many years performing Opera and teaching singers. She never dreamt that she would end up following a career with animals. Her real passion is dogs and she loves teaching people about ways to interact with animals that are neither frightening nor forceful. Because of this, she has spent extra time in the US becoming an expert on clicker training which she combines with TTouch when it's appropriate and useful.
Eugénie runs 2 or 3 Day Clinics, 6-week Classes and consults privately. She has done television spots for both 50/50 and South Africa Today as well as other "specialty programs", written articles for leading animal magazines and done numerous radio interviews. She also teaches week long TTouch trainings for the South African Police Dog Unit. She maintains that life is full and good and yes it is possible to work with the things you love!
Marie Miller
While assisting Linda Tellington-Jones at the UK Advanced TTouch/TTEAM Practitioner Training, Marie received the wonderful surprise of being awarded certification as TTouch Companion Animal Instructor. She was introduced to Tellington TTouch by reading Linda's book and trained on the first companion animal practitioner clinics in the UK. Since graduating Marie has assisted at many companion animal practitioner training clinics, teaches one and two day TTouch workshops and demonstrates at many events. Sarah Fisher and Marie frequently work together teaching courses and workshops and have co-authored two books about dog training and problem solving, combining TTouch and Clicker Training.
Marie has had a life long love of animals and spent many happy hours growing up with animals from the local farm and ponies from the local stables. Dogs and cats became fully part of her life when she left home and was able to have pets of her own. She began to study companion animal behaviour and in 1980, set up Paws'n'Learn, a training and rehabilitation practice which uses force free methods. Marie is passionate about puppy training and the prevention of behaviour problems. She runs weekly classes, works 1-2-1 with companion animals and teaches workshops. Marie has been the resident trainer and behaviour advisor at Hollycroft Veterinary Centre since 1981.

Lindy Dekker
Lindy started riding at age 10 in Stellenbosch near Cape Town, South Africa. The majority of the horses were rescued racehorses with problems. She was always surrounded by animals and her parental home was never without at least two dogs and two cats. She was given a rescued donkey in 1967 and had him for 4 years.
After studying Biochemistry, Microbiology and Genetics at university, Lindy moved with her husband Rick to Johannesburg in 1979. There she changed careers to become a computer programmer, and she is still involved in doing support for a consulting company.
In 1987 Lindy reached her dream and acquired her first horse 'Babyshoes' (ex-racehorse TB gelding) who stayed with her for nearly 21 years. Lindy has competed in dressage to Elementary level. In March, 1999 she attended a Natural Healing course for animals that included Reiki and Aromatherapy as well as an introduction to TTouch. She started her own therapy business in 2000. In January, 2001 she attended her first five-day TTouch workshop and hasn't looked back. She has been organizing the TTouch practitioner training clinics in Johannesburg since 2002.
Lindy is a Tellington TTouch Instructor for Companions Animals and for Horses. Besides organizing the practitioner training clinics for the Tellington TTouch Method for horses, she gives clinics as well as private consultations for both horses and companion animals while traveling to all sorts of interesting places!

Andy Robertson
Andy Robertson, Tellington TTouch Instructor for Companion Animals, incorporates her skills as a Motivational Dog Trainer and Feldenkrais practitioner in her teaching.
In the late 1980's Andy attended an evening demonstration of TTEAM, the original name for the Tellington TTouch Method. The TTEAM presenter did not touch a person or an animal, but had participants pair up and gave direction from the floor. At that stage. Andy was ready for a change as she was uncomfortable with the way most others were training dogs and TTouch just felt "right". Changing how Andy touched her own dog has benefited all the other animals that she has come in contact with from that day forward.
As a Motivational Trainer, Andy uses TTouch when she teaches Puppy classes as well as Teen and Adult classes. Andy teaches workshops and one-on-one sessions. While Andy mainly works with dogs, she is interested in working with other species and has had occasion to work with wildlife.
Andy's special interest is with animals that lack basic social skills needed to live in society as these animals can be reactive to many issues. The owners/partners find it very interesting how TTouch, Ground Work and use of TTouch Equipment can make changes that affect both the animals and themselves.
Andy lives just outside of Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Anne Bigi-Schuster
Anne grew up in Germany, where she started riding at the age of eight. Although she wasn't allowed any animals at home, she took care of the animals of her aunts and of friends of the family and passed most of her time after school at the stables. Later she was accepted as a volunteer in a small rescue center for difficult dogs. Her passion for animals and for working with and for them never stopped although it became more and more difficult to go on with the rather traditional training methods she had been taught.
In 1991, Anne moved to Italy where she shared her home with many animals, horses, dogs, cats, chicken, pigeons and turtles, and occasionally wild animals in need of help. By now it was absolutely clear that a new, more respectful way of caring for and training with animals was needed! Her aunt sent her a book about TTouch. Anne tried a body-wrap on one of her dogs that had amazing results. She decided that she wanted to know more about this fascinating method.
Anne started organizing TTouch workshops in Italy in 1996, and began her training in 1997. She ran the Italian TTouch office and co-organized the Italian TTACT Trainings until 2009.
Anne lives in Tuscany/Italy with her husband, her two daughters and her animals. She runs a Dog Trainer School and works in a local shelter on a voluntary basis. She travels Italy and Europe teaching workshops and seminars on TTouch, Positive Training and problematic behavior.

Katja Arwen
Katja Krauss had already explained to her parents at the age of two that a life without a dog would not be conceivable for her. Therefore, she got the first dog for her third birthday. Since then she usually has had several dogs and many other animals in her life.
Immediately after completing her studies, Katja opened her own dog school in her adopted home, and favorite city, Berlin. From the beginning she has integrated Tellington TTouch in combination with Clicker Training into all her classes. In this context, her most successful book project was created "educate dogs with clicker".
One of Katja's interests is search-dog training. She has been working with mold-detection dogs for two decades and is increasingly involved with the Wildlife Detection Dogs.
In addition, Katja has created with Lina Köhler "dog-supported" training that is aimed to help anyone who wants to work with his/her dog in a social, therapeutic or educational environment. This training combines the methods Tellington TTouch®, Clicker Training and Dogs Lead in Balance which Katja created with Stephanie Hornung and which has been released in a DVD.
Since Katja's participation in a program of the TV channel Tier (Animal TV) she is in demand as a speaker at home and abroad. She travels regularly to Dubai to support the royal family in the context of animal training. She also has worked with big cats and monkeys. However, her passion belongs with the dogs which she thinks she was once in a past life.
