Nurarihyon no Mago Sennen Makyō (TV)
A Second season for Nurarihyon no Mago tailed "Nurarihyon no Mago Sennen Makyō"
The official site just recently got renewed. I suggest to check it out because its pretty fancy looking. Anyway the staff pretty much the same as the first season except for director and series composition, script. Especially excited for Michio Fukuda directing. A veteran action storyboard, animator (mostly doing storyboards now). His storyboarded Nararihyon episodes were one of me favorites.
Director: Michio Fukuda
Series Composition: Hideaki Koyasu
Character Design: Mariko Oka
Monster Design: Shinobu Tagashira
Music: Kouhei Tanaka
Sound Director: Hozumi Gôda
Animation Production: Studio Deen
Official website: Nurarihyon no Mago
Broadcasting Date: July 3 Tokyo MX 17:30
Traler: Higher quality video in official website.
Dat Black and White. Seriously the first trailer in this year witch got me saying omg this looks awesome. Pity that there no credit on the trailer, really want to know who directed and storyboarded it. Especially soryborder because the way scenes and camera floes is really awesome.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god that trailer!! Shit, it looks amazing. Oh man, I hope DEEN steps up their game with this sequel considering this is where things really kick off for Nuramago. Oh, I just noticed the some of the staff changes. The new director has not much directing experience but a lot in storyboarding and the new person in charge of series composition does not have a very appealing resume compared to the last. I do hope this staff change will bring in that extra punch the anime sorely needs.

Neat trailer.
This was a solid shounen, I'm more than happy to see a second season. I'm not super-hyped, but I'm hoping it'll be as fun as it the first. It had a really unique style.

As a manga reader, i'm so pleased the director has changed. Even though the first season was enjoyable, it totally went off the tracks in regards to following the manga. There was plenty of manga material, though the director just couldn't help but do his own things. That's alright sometimes, hough now when the manga material is damn good.
Anyway, that trailer is fantastic. The Kyoto arc is by far the best Nurarihyon no Mago has to offer, and it looks like it will be getting the treatment it deserves. Also, Fujiwara Keiji!

Season 2 huh...gotta admit S1 fell short of my expectations, it was kinda lukewarm...still, the trailer's well done and with lots of new characters, so I'll be watching this too! If a manga reader can tell me, is Yuko playing a dimensional crossover role in this? Don't think it's CLAMP material :O

If you find the first season boring, that's normal coz I did too (same with the manga up to that point). The Kyoto arc which is what this season is based on is the highlight of the series so far, there's a great set of interesting villains and tension between fights, and a greater conspiracy behind everything. If animated right, this might even be memorable.

PCC in the News
News: Omh-Unique! Browne Sets PCC Women's Track First With 2 State Titles
Omhunique Browne completed her own triple crown Saturday by
becoming the first Pasadena City College women's track and field
athlete to win two state titles at the CCCAA State Championships held
at College of San Mateo. Browne's feat of winning the 100- and 200-
meter state sprinting golds follows her wins in each event at both the
South Coast Conference and Southern California Championships.
Browne's accomplishments helped the Lancers place ninth overall at
the state meet, the highest finish by a PCC women's team in 12 years
when it finished in eighth place. Overall, 38 colleges scored at the
championship event.
Browne joins a short list of PCC women's athletes to win state crowns
that consists of PCC Sports Hall of Famer Sarah Goodlaw (1996
hammer throw), Amber Roberts (1997 high jump), Elizabeth Heskett
(a then national record in the 2001 pole vault), and Tracee van der
Wyk (2011, 1,500 meters).
Browne, a freshman from San Marino High won the 100 with a time of 11.34 seconds, defeating her NorCal
rival Khadija Suleman of Laney College by .09 of a second. The national leader in the 100 and 200, Browne's
fastest time ended up being her 11.30 mark, a PCC school record, at the conference championships.
In the 200, Browne used a strong finishing kick to capture the gold with a time of 23.97 seconds. Browne
again left Suleman in second (24.26). Her school record and top national time was also set at the SCC finals
of 23.46.
In the relays, Browne (in the second slot) joined teammates Breanna Clark, Taylor Matthews, and Sophia
Amodia to score a third place in the 4x100 event with a 47.69 mark. She added a sixth place in the 4x400
relay (3:56.91) as she anchored the quartet of Clark, Amodia, and Lai Launi Cox.
PCC also scored points with freshman Amodia's fifth place finish in the 400 hurdles at 1:04.08. Amodia
attended Glendale High. In all Browne was a part of 29 of the Lancers' 33 scoring points. Fellow conference
foe Cerritos College won the state team title
"We came here with a goal to reach the top 10 in the state and we accomplished it," said a proud PCC head
coach Larry Wade. "Omhunique continued to prove why she is the best community college sprinter in the
nation. To give her all in four events, winning two of them, is a testament to her endurance and talents. She
responded with one of the great days ever by any PCC track athlete, man or woman."
In the 10,000 meters, Arielle Barragan-Steimer (Gabrielino High) closed out her Lancers' career with a
personal best time of 39:11.93 to take ninth. She missed out of a scoring point by only one place.

Monet Afghan
I called this afghan "Monet" because the colors look like an impressionist painting. I suggest making this afghan in any color, either solid or variegated, because the texture of the stitches make it special. The finished afghan measures approximately 46"X66".

Monet Afghan
©2005 Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude
Each square measures 13" x 13"
Make 12:
Materials: Worsted Weight yarn – (shown in Red Heart "Water Lily")
I used one 6 oz skein for each square (it's important not to start a new skein in the middle of the square because of the patterning of the colors)
And two 8 oz skeins of white for the joining and the border
Size H crochet hook
Row 1: Ch 47, sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across. (46 sc)
Row 2: Ch 1, (sc, 2 dc) in first st, *skip 2 sc, (sc, 2 dc) in next st * across. Sc in last st.
Row 3-33: Ch 1, (sc, 2 dc) in each single crochet across ending with a sc in the last st.
Row 34, sc in each st across. Do not fasten off. Sc evenly around square working 3 sc in each corner. Fasten off.
Join squares together using a simplified Lattice Technique (origin unknown) as follows:
Rnd 1: With contrasting color join with a sc in any corner, work 2 more sc in same st, work 47 sc on each side and work 3 sc in each corner. Join with a slip st.
Rnd 2: Slip st into corner st. Ch1, (sc, ch 4, sc) in same st. (Ch 3, skip 2 sc, sc in next st) around, working (sc, ch 4, sc) in each corner st. Slip st to first sc, fasten off.
Lay the squares out in a 3 by 4 pattern. First join squares together to make three long strips with four squares each. Then join the three strips together to create ghan. Join by making a sc in corner loop, ch 3, sc in corresponding loop on opposite square. Ch 3, sc in next loop of first square, ch 3, sc in corresponding loop of opposite square, and so on back and forth.
Once joined, edge entire afghan by working three rounds of (sc, ch 3) in each loop.

HELP I am looking for crochet patterns for one piece circular afghan and also a pentagon shape.
- Crystal said...
I love this afghan. I used your pattern in a varigated purple with a darker purple for the edging and joining. My friend thought it was so beautiful, that I ended up giving it to her and starting another one for myself
- Janet said...
This pattern is a great way to use up my left over variegated yarns. I did mine with 6" squares. It looks awesome. Now my friends want me to make them one.

The lives of Naeem Davis and Ki-Suk Han were as far apart from each other as the distances of the places they were born. One escaped war-torn Sierra Leone as a child; the other came to New York City from South Korea to pursue an education. One wandered indigently around Times Square, sometimes doing odd jobs; the other was an out-of-work married father, looking for a job. But their lives collided on a subway platform in midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon, when Davis allegedly pushed Han to his death in front of an oncoming train.
As Han's family paid their respects to him at an Elmhurst, Queens funeral home on Wednesday, Davis stood before a judge hearing second degree murder charges against him.
(MORE: We Are a Camera: Life, Death and the Urge to Shoot)
Davis, 30, grew up in New Brighton, Penn., raised as a foster son by a couple who took in several special needs children, the Beaver County Times reported. But his attorney Steven Pokart told TIME that he immigrated to the United States at age 7 after being wounded in a mortar attack during Sierra Leone's brutal civil war. Records show he has a history of petty crimes dating back to 2001, when he was arrested for stealing laptops out of Beaver Falls police cars and served one year's probation. In New York, he has had several charges against him ranging from peddling T-shirts without a license to a marijuana arrest.
Han, 58, was born in South Korea and came to the United States 25 years ago, City Councilman John Liu said at a press conference. He met his wife, Serim, also a Korean immigrant, in the U.S.; the couple lived in an apartment in Queens. Their daughter, Ashley, is a 20-year-old college student. Han worked at a dry cleaners in Manhattan, but lost his job due to the economy and for several years struggled to make ends meet. Serim said the two quarreled before he left their home Monday morning.
Police say after an altercation in the 49th Street subway station, Davis, 30, pushed Han, 58, onto the tracks, where he struggled in vain to avoid an oncoming train which crushed him. Witness accounts, as reported in the media, tell varying stories of the incident. Some say Han was defending other people on the subway platform from a deranged homeless person; others say Han was intoxicated and was the aggressor. Authorities say a bottle of vodka was found on his person, which was corroborated by his wife who said he had been drinking.
Davis reportedly implicated himself in the crime to police after his arrest on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the homicide. But a television reporter caught up with him during his perp walk and bluntly asked him about the crime. "Naeem, were you trying to kill him when you pushed him on the track?" asked WPIX reporter Kirsten Cole. To which he replied "no."
"Did he start the fight with you, what happened?"
"He attacked me first."
"How did he attack you, Naeem?"
"He grabbed me."
(MORE: Man Shoved onto Tracks of NYC Subway; Suspect Apprehended, but Could Anyone Have Saved the Victim?)
A video released by the New York Police Department shows the two arguing on the platform before Han was pushed. Davis shouted expletives at Han to leave him alone. The seconds after that — in which Han fell to the tracks as a train rushed into the station — were captured by a freelance New York Post photographer who snapped his final moments as serveral bystanders watched in herror.
The photographer, R. Umar Abbasi, was on his way to an assignment at the time of the incident — ironically to cover the story of a homeless man who was given shoes by a Times Square beat cop. He has said repeatedly, most recently on NBC's Today show, that he could not have saved Han. Abbasi said he had been on the far end of the platform from the two men. Once he saw that Han was on the tracks, he began to run toward him, setting off his camera flash in an attempt to signal the subway train's motorman to stop. A loudspeaker in the station had announced to passengers that a southbound "Q" train was arriving in the 50th Street station. "The people who were standing close to him on the 50th street exit, they could have. They could have moved and grabbed him and pulled him out, nobody made an effort," he said, emphasizing that he was too far to help. "If I could have, I would have."
After the incident a medical resident on the scene jumped down to attempt to give Han CPR, but it was too late. Han was declared dead at Roosevelt Hospital. His family quickly made plans for his burial on Thursday, and began to piece together what went wrong on that fateful day. "I just really wish I had one last chance to tell my dad that I love him," said his daughter Ashley at a press conference Wednesday, flanked by her mother and Liu. "It's devastating and I'm still in disbelief."
Davis, meanwhile, appeared in court only with his lawyer. Pokart, a Legal Aid attorney, argued before a judge that his client may have been provoked. The day after the arraignment he told TIME that Davis, who is facing 25 years to life behind bars, showed no indication of mental disturbance and simply wanted Han to leave him alone. "There really seems to be two sides to the story and I resent the way it is being portrayed in the News and the Post," he said. "It's all very early; the prosecutor will have to choose between depraved indifference and intentional murder."
"It may have been negligent, even criminally negligent, but it may not have been murder."

If you're easily grossed out, perhaps you should stop reading this now.
Recent research by scientists in London found that one out of every six mobile phones shows evidence of fecal matter. According to TIME Magazine, researchers analyzed 780 swab samples, half from mobile phones and half from hands, in 12 cities in the UK and found that 16 percent of them were contaminated with E. coli.
How did that get there, you ask incredulously? Well, much to our chagrin, it's from people not washing their hands after they use the bathroom. We have all watched in horror as fellow public bathroom users have simply left their stalls and walked out the door. It's enough to make you want to bathe yourself in antibacterial liquid.
E. coli can be transmitted easily to phones, and basically anything else that the infector touches. And the bacteria likes warm conditions, which makes a mobile device a perfect resting place. Overall, researchers found that approximately 92 percent of hands and 82 percent of mobile phones had some kind of bacterial contamination present.
Although the study was conducted in the U.K., it's hard to imagine that the U.S. is much different. The number may be even higher for parents with young kids who, say, are in the midst of changing a diaper when they receive a call they're expecting and think they've wiped their hands thoroughly. And then when the parents give said phone to their toddlers who then end up chewing on the corner of it, well, that's just not good.
In a written statement, Hygiene expert Dr. Val Curtis, said: "I hope the thought of having E. coli on their hands and phones encourages them to take more care in the bathroom – washing your hands with soap is such a simple thing to do but there is no doubt it saves lives."
Dr Ron Cutler, of Queen Mary, University of London, added, "People may claim they wash their hands regularly but the science shows otherwise."
Bottom line: wash your hands, please. Pretty please.

NBC's announcement Tuesday that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the next two Golden Globe telecasts doesn't just promise happy viewers and high ratings, it marks the end of a local rags-to-riches story: the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., like the heroine of an Edith Wharton novel, is now, officially, a member of power elite.
You gotta hand it to the HFPA; what it lacks in numbers and personal prestige, it more than makes up for in tenacity. Once an easy punch line among the mainstream entertainment media, the HFPA has methodically ratcheted up the X factor of the Golden Globes the last few years, leveraging its timing -- a few months before the Academy Awards -- to create a high-wattage oddsmaker.
Despite annual (though rapidly diminishing) grumbles from industry pundits and rumors of general awards-saturation, the Golden Globes, once known best for its wanton alcohol consumption now stands, in the public mind anyway, shoulder to shoulder with the Oscars.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
With Fey and Poehler on board for two years, they may have actually taken the lead; it's difficult to imagine the Oscars coming up with a host that will trump the anticipation level accorded the two women, rapidly becoming the awards-show equivalent of Nichols and May.
More important, the deal certainly marks an awards-show savvy that continues elude the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and even, occasionally, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Producers cannot control who is nominated, who will win or what will be said.
But they can control the entertainment value of what happens in between. As Fey and Poehler have proved many times in many places, including last year's Golden Globes ceremony, they are very entertaining.
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
And when you've got a hit on your hands, you give it an extended run. Or, more appropriately, renew it for a new season.
Because what Fey and Poehler bring to the hosting gig that other talented comedians have not is an understanding of television. Live television. Which is different than scripted or even stand-up comedy.
Having cut their teeth, together, on "Saturday Night Live," Fey and Poehler know when to stay on script and when to improvise. They know how to play to the audience and to the camera, often at the same time. As the many talented performers who have fallen on various awards show stages over the years proved, hosting requires a specific and rarefied skill set.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
For reasons known only to themselves, the film academy refuses to acknowledge this, year after year tossing the hosting hot potato into the hands of performers with little or no improv background, and widely diverse experiences with television. Why, for instance, Alec Baldwin hosted the 82nd Academy Awards with Steve Martin rather than with Fey, his television sparring partner, remains one of life's great mysteries.
Instead of recognizing and seeking out the specific experience required for success, producers of the various shows tend to imbue a successful host with magical qualities. "He's no Billy Crystal," ran the mantra for years, just as if Crystal did not have almost exactly the same kind of resume Fey and Poehler have, including a stint on "SNL."
Neil Patrick Harris, who earned his stripes hosting the Tonys, was similarly anointed and has been in such demand that he may be the first documented case of Post-hosting Stress Syndrome: His over-commitment was the running (and unfortunately flat) joke of this year's Emmys. Which he hosted.
PHOTOS: Greatest box office flops
By comparison Fey and Poehler are relatively fresh. They also represent the new and fabulous two-way status of the bridge between film and television, which makes them perfect for the Globes since both are celebrated.
Indeed, we can only hope that HFPA continues its groundbreaking strategy and uses this year's telecast to acknowledge the similar social ascendancy of television. Having branded itself as a predictor of the Oscars, the Globes inevitably treats its awards to television as an appetizer to the main course.
With conversations about shows as disparate as "Breaking Bad" and "Scandal" as loud and heated as any Oscar debate, the Globes should think about making an even bigger statement about the state of entertainment.
And they've got just the women to do it.

'Queenfish' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb
Flower Description: These clear pink flowers rival even the color of Dianna's favorite pink Oriental, 'Canaletto', but the white edges are ruffled and the bloom is more flat-faced. A nicely balanced white star in the center blends to an apple green nectary. We truly believe that 'Queenfish' will set the standards for future pinks. Typical spicy fragrance, plant this exceptional lily as an accent in your pastel garden. Mid to Late July Flowering. 3 to 4 or more Feet.
Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb cultivar ranges from Premium-size" (16/18 cm) to Exhibition-size" (over 20 cm). Click here for details.
Classification: Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb (USDA Zones 5-9, colder climates w/winter mulch.)
Stock # 9212 - 'Queenfish' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb
Plant Lily Bulbs Immediately upon Receipt
Lily bulbs are never completely dormant and need to be planted as soon as possible. You can delay planting for 2-3 weeks by keeping the bulbs in a cool, not frozen (34-40� F.), area of a garage, basement or refrigerator, but longer and you risk bulb damage. You must open the shipping box to check your order and then re-close any plastic bags before short term storage. Our packing material protects your bulbs and absorbs excessive moisture, but if large water droplets form within the plastic bag, poke more �air� holes in the sides of the poly bag, being careful to not damage your sleeping bulbs. Lily bulbs are happiest in the garden where they can begin growing new roots immediately.
Choose an area with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Waterlogged soils, with poor drainage or too much �organics� in the soil mean certain death to lily bulbs. A sloping site with natural drainage is best. When planting in heavy clay, try mixing Perlite (the white crunchy stuff found in commercial potting soil � not Vermiculite that holds moisture) or sand with the native soil to create raised beds 8 to 10 inches above ground level, or make raised beds of garden-safe, treated wood. If bothered by moles, mice or gophers nail 1/4-inch galvanized hardware cloth on the bottom of the framework before you back fill with good soil. Sandy loam soils rich in humus with a pH of 5.5-6.5 are ideal.
Lilies look most natural planted in triangular groups of three, spaced 12�-18� apart. Provide at least 6 hours of sun, dappled shade in very warm regions for Orientals. Cover bulbs with fluffy soil and mulch to control weeds and maintain even ground moisture. Plant bulbs 2�- 4� deeper in areas where daily temperatures average over 90 degrees F. and the soil is sandy. Do not plant among aggressive ground covers or where large trees or shrubs will rob nutrients or moisture. Lily bulbs need regular fertilizer, water, and cultivation. They do NOT �naturalize� like Daffodils or Tulips, which have a hard outer shell. Be sure to mulch bulbs in cold climates if a good winter snow cover is not expected. Likewise, in more temperate areas, cold saturated soil will rot lily bulbs some years, so a raised area and fast-draining soil is recommended. Click to leave this page and go to More Information

Neighborhoods with more trees blocking the wind, hills that "drain" away moisture faster, concrete bulkheads, sidewalks and driveways that tend to collect heat, as well as southern exposures will allow you to grow plants that might not be recommended for your area. The general guidelines are based on average low temperatures are found below. To open a new browser window access the interactive map click USDA Zone Chart
Asiatics (Graffity, Tigerplay, etc.) grow best in zones 1 to 9, no winter mulch is needed and they prefer colder winters to reset bloom.
Purebred Orientals (Casablanca, Star Gazer, etc.), without mulch, zones 6 to 9, but if heavily mulched for winter or with a good snowfall, down to zone 3 or 4 easily.
Purebred Trumpets (Copper King, Pink Perfection, etc.), without mulch, zones 7 to 10; heavily mulched, down to zone 3 or 4, but can be subject to late freeze damage in May, cover emerging stems if temperatures below 30 degrees F. are expected.
Oriental-Trumpet Hybrids (Conca �dOr, Sweetheart, etc.), same as Purebred Orientals, but seem to be more resistant to late frost damage, plus because of the �trumpet� genes, they do not require as much winter chill as Oriental lilies, thus are very suitable for southern areas and will take higher heat in summer.

After giving up on her initial dream at 22 years old of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, at 55 years old, last weekend, she auditioned for the world-famous squad!Simmons said of her auditioning:
I thought, that's something I never tried. I always wanted to try out. I got real close in my early 20s, but got busy raising my daughter. And I thought, why not now?"
When asked about her auditioning up against hundreds of much younger hopefuls, she stated:
"I don't see a number. If I do, it's just a number. It's not that I can't keep up with [younger women] in the physical part of the training."

Students cleared in locker room urination incident
DARIEN -- Police said current Darien High School students were not involved in Thursday's urination incident during the annual Turkey Bowl against New Canaan.
Police received a report from Darien High after the game that someone entered the New Canaan locker room and urinated on players' property, Capt. Fred Komm said. Komm also reported an equipment bag was stolen from the locker room.
Darien High School Athletic Director Mike Sullivan said as soon as school officials learned of the incident, they conducted an investigation, which included reviewing surveillance tapes. He said once they determined that current DHS students were not involved, the surveillance tapes were turned over to the Darien Police Department.
Sullivan called the incident "an unfortunate and despicable event."
"It was a great game played by both teams, we had a big crowd,and it was a great day," Sullivan said. "It was unfortunate that an incident like that took away from the day."
Komm said because the investigation is ongoing, "he can't comment further other than to say that no current DHS students were involved with the incident at DHS."
Last year, a fight at an underage drinking party the Friday before the annual game hospitalized one Darien student and resulted in criminal charges against another. That student and a teammate were barred from playing in the 2011 Turkey Bowl.
In 2010, the entrance to New Canaan's Dunning Stadium was defaced with a royal blue "D." The door handles to the school were covered in blue paint.

NBA Playoffs heat up
This weekend, the National Basketball Association begins its Conference
Finals. The NBA Playoffs started off with a whimper—as player
after player fell with injuries—and things seemed almost to be
doomed. However, now that we're down to the final four, the NBA has got to
be excited with its prospects for matchups.
In the Western Conference, the Spurs, persistently rumored to be too old to
get the job done—yet consistently making deep playoff runs—have mowed
over every opponent they've faced. They blanked both the Utah Jazz as well
as the L.A. Clippers. Going 8-0, though, the Spurs would have you
believe, means nothing. They are a focused group, led by the coach and
player examples of Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan, both of whom have been
around the block more than a few times. The Jazz and the Clips both had
a couple opportunities where they could have stolen a game or two, but they
were ultimately pushed by the mettle of the veteran Spurs.
In stark contrast to that aged wisdom stand the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Despite being one of the youngest teams in the league, no one can make the
claim that this group is not experienced. They have made the playoffs for
the last three years, and have progressed farther for the last two. This
year, they are expected to challenge the Spurs for the Western Conference
title, regardless of how good San Antonio looks. The expectation in
Oklahoma City is to win an NBA Championship, or the season will be
considered a loss. This speaks highly to the atmosphere in the newest NBA
market, and shows how committed the coach and players—not to mention
ownership—are to the overall goal. The Thunder are led by a three-headed
monster of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and super-sub—and Sixth
Man of the Year award-winner—James Harden. Their youth and speed will be tested by the Spurs in one of the most highly anticipated series, kicking off tonight at 6:30 p.m.
In the Eastern Conference, proceedings have been understandably marred by
Derrick Rose's absence. If Chicago had been around, most people agree that things might have gone differently. But Rose is out for up to a year
with an ACL injury, and the Miami Heat capitalized on that opportunity to
roll to the Conference Finals for a second year in a row. After their loss
in the NBA Finals last year, the Heat have congealed in the last few weeks
of the Playoffs to look as good as any other team. Their being tested
physically by the Indiana Pacers was probably a great thing for team unity
and proof to guys on the team not named LeBron James or Dwyane Wade
that they deserve to be in this spot. Like the young Thunder in the West,
the Heat will not be satisfied with making these Conference Finals, though.
Their goal, remember, is not one, not two championships, but a dynasty.
Standing in the way of that dynasty, fittingly enough, once again, are the
Boston Celtics. Last year when LeBron and company finally beat the Celtics, the moment overwhelmed him. It was cathartic. The same pressure is not there for James or the rest of the Heat, but it definitely is on the Celtics. Dismissed all
year as too old, as having only this run left in them, the Celtics have
relied heavily on ace point guard Rajon Rondo, who notched a
triple double in closing out the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have wavered back and forth from their old, reliable selves to unsure players. The other rock in Boston has been Kevin Garnett who still appears hungry long after pundits predicted he'd be making an impact.
It'd be easy—and wrong—to summarize both of these series as the young,
upstart teams versus the grizzled vets, trying to make one last stand. But
there's no denying that there is a sea change afoot in the NBA. This year's
Conference Finals may see some of those prognostications, that merely one or
two years ago sounded absurd, spring to life.

Mangalia is a port city and tourist resort in south-eastern Romania. The area has been inhabited since the neolithic. In the VIII - VI centuries B.C. it was colonised by the Greeks. The name of the city that they built was Callatis. in the year 71 B.C. the Romans conquer Callatis. The city Callatis was abandoned by the 7th century A.D. Instead, starting with the XIIIth century A.D. documents speak of a new city, first called Pangalia, later Mankalia. It is believed that the Turks gaved it its final name - Mangalia, since it was hard for them to pronounce Mankalia.
The beach is 600 meters long and 50-150 meters wide and has a very fine sand; the sea water is not very deep - 1 meter by the shore to 200 meters in the open sea and for this reason it is preferred by the children who cannot swim.
Get in
By train
There are several trains daily between Constanta and Mangalia, going through the resorts on the Black Sea coast. In summer there are direct trains to Mangalia from Bucharest and other major cities in Romania.
By bus
There are frequent minibuses and buses on the Constanta - Mangalia route, especially in summer.

|ESRB Rating: Everyone 10+
|3.5 - 3.9 = Good
There's something to be said about attempting to infuse a traditional-style game with a more modern vibe, new energy, and an upbeat presentation. Opoona, Koei's new "lifestyle RPG," is refreshing and exuberant in such a way that it's all but guaranteed to catch your attention, but whether or not it will hold it is another matter. On the surface, Arte Piazza's latest non-Dragon Quest effort contains the level of polish you'd expect from the seasoned developer.
At the game's opening, a family vacation to the planet Landroll goes awry when an unexpected emergency finds the game's namesake and chubby protagonist being jettisoned via escape pod from the family spaceship by his parents just prior to it crashing into the planet surface. Opoona wakes in a peaceful dome community to learn his parents are injured but still alive and his two siblings are missing. Apparently Landroll is no walk in the park. Ages prior, it was struck by a meteor that caused a dark force to spread across the surface of half the planet and evil monsters called Rogues to arise. Anyone venturing outside of the domed cities is prone to attack by the beasts. As Opoona, you'll enlist as a Landroll ranger to take up arms - or an orange-colored floating energy bonbon to be precise - against the Rogues while also searching for answers to what happened to your family. Along the way you'll also take on various jobs for the betterment of society and make lots of friends.
The tale is set in a vibrantly colorful sci-fi fantasy world where everything from the evil monsters you'll battle to the quirky inhabitants of the many dome colonies is an interesting combination of cute and endearing. On the whole, the game's striking visual style is overwhelmingly pleasant, yet there are a few areas where a lack of a substantive mapping system bogs down progress significantly. Outside the relative comfort the domes, the many diverse environments on Landroll provide enticing prospects for exploration. Navigating the interior of the immense, multi-level domes is the exact opposite. The complex series of futuristic halls, passages, doorways, and elevators become a major hurdle thrown at players from the onset of gameplay. In many cases it's just too easy to get lost and overwhelmed while trying to figure out where to go and what do to inside the domes, especially when the only guides you have are vague color-coded signs and a shoddy PDA map.
When you're not battling Rogues, much of your time will be devote to social pursuits and building relationships with NPC characters. Making nice with characters scattered throughout the game will eventually open up new activities and jobs. Employment serves as the main driver of progression in the game, since it lets you move on to new domes to complete specific assignments. The job system primarily serves as an optional distraction from the main quest. In a few instances they're crucial for moving forward in the story or for exploring new areas, but on the whole they can be easily avoided unless you feel like changing things up for a bit. In general, completing ranger jobs will help progress the story while most of the other professions are there just for the hell of it. The job variety is decent; you can find careers in fast-food service, fortune telling, mining, art, and many more.
Opoona's odd one-handed control scheme is a great idea for a lengthy RPG; it makes for easy snacking while level grinding or engaging in other tedious tasks (like unsuccessfully attempting to navigate the domes). You don't actually have to stop playing a game to eat your dinner either, which some will appreciate more than others. From movement to inventory management and even attacks, every aspect of the controls can be handled using the Nunchuk grip only. You'll still have to keep the thing connected to the dangling Wii Remote, which is an obvious but not entirely unexpected disappointment. The one-handed camera controls are a pain, but using the Wii Remote's d-pad to adjust the view defeats the novelty of being able to hold a cold beer (or a soda pop for those who are still under-age) in your free hand. Let's talk about camera angles. Looking around inside a dome is fine, but you're stuck without the ability to adjust the camera when outside on the map. To put it plainly this sucks. Other than that deficiency, extended play can result in a few hand cramps, but this control scheme works surprisingly well. It's a small price to pay for the freedom of an extra limb.

The only problem with that is that the Live CD can *ONLY* be burned with Nero since the .cue file is borked and doesnt work with *ANY* other burner software (at least not any I tried).
Burning bootable BeFS CDs has aways been hell, and it will probably stay this way forever. This is hardly BeOS' fault though; it's not its fault it has such an advanced filesystem .

Hornets surge late, can't overcome Jazz
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Al Jefferson had 19 points, Marvin Williams scored 16 before leaving with concussion symptoms and the Utah Jazz won its second straight game Wednesday night, 96-84 over the New Orleans Hornets.
Paul Millsap scored nine of his 16 points during a dominant third quarter for Utah, and Gordon Hayward had 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter to help the Jazz overcome one last New Orleans surge.
Robin Lopez and Greivis Vasquez each scored 18 points for New Orleans, which has lost eight of nine. Brian Roberts added 11 points. But the Hornets, who defeated Utah in an earlier meeting this season, struggled from 3-point range this time, going 5 of 21.
Utah was a disciplined 6 of 11 from deep.
Utah outshot the Hornets 49.2 percent (31 of 63) to 42.5 percent (31 of 73) and outscored the Hornets 28-17 from the free throw line, more than compensating for New Orleans 44-38 scoring edge in the paint.
The Jazz began to take command in the third quarter, methodically building a double-digit lead while the Hornets struggled from the field. New Orleans made only five of 14 shots in the period, missing all five 3-point attempts, while Utah made 10 of 17 shots (59 percent). Millsap had nine of his points in the quarter and Williams added eight before falling hard in a scramble for a rebound and hitting his head on the court.
Williams left the game for good with what team officials called concussion symptoms.
Still the Jazz continued to pull away, thanks to Kanter's three-point play and inside basket, the second of which put Utah up 72-56 heading into the final quarter.
That proved too much for New Orleans to overcome, despite a 13-4 run to start the fourth quarter which narrowed the score 76-69.
Hayward then began to take over, hitting a pair of 3s and scoring as he was fouled by Austin Rivers to help Utah regain a double-digit lead in the final minutes.
After the teams finished the first quarter tied at 20, the Hornets went more than half of the second quarter without scoring a point. New Orleans missed seven shots and had six turnovers during that stretch, but Utah was not able to parlay New Orleans' drought into a big lead, going up 29-20 before Lopez hit a pair of free throws and the Hornets started to close the gap.
New Orleans outscored Utah 18-12 the rest of the quarter, with Vasquez hitting a 3, a floater and finger roll, the last basket cutting Utah's lead to 41-39 at halftime.
NOTES: Hornets rookie Anthony Davis (left ankle) missed his sixth-straight game and coach Monty Williams said before tip-off that he did not expect Davis back for Saturday night's home game against Oklahoma City, either. … Utah was without Mo Williams (right foot) for a third straight game, but coach Tyrone Corbin said he expects Williams to be back Friday night at Oklahoma City. … Utah has won five of six games. …The Hornets' 3-point woes came two night after making 15 of 25 3-point attempts in a road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Before we start talking about how to deal with sexual harassment I think it's important to define exactly what sexual harassment is: Sexual harassment is anything in word or deed that is sexual in nature which makes you uncomfortable.
This can be something as innocuous as a co-worker asking if you got laid over the weekend, to your boss patting you on the posterior as you walk by his/her desk. Sexual harassment can be subtle and it's not a condition experienced only by women, men experience sexual harassment as well. I suspect that harassment of male workers on the job is just as prevalent as harassment of female workers, men are simply less likely to come forward about it because the idea of a female or even male boss or co-worker sexually harassing a male employee seems ludicrous.
Now that you know what sexual harassment is, what do you do about it if it's happening to you?
1. Start keeping a written journal of incidents. Write down what happened, what was said to you, and how you chose to deal with it at the time and why. Also put the date and the time of the incident. Keep this journal in a very safe place. If your boss has access to your desk even if it's locked and he/she is the abuser, it is common for others to get in your desk, keep your harassment journal at home.
2.Tell someone. Start with the Human Resources department. If you work for a small company and there is no HR department or there is no real defined person in charge of HR then go to your boss. If he/she is the harasser then go to that person's boss. If the your boss is the owner, and there is no HR department, then make a formal complaint to the Labor Board in your city. Above all do not keep what is happening to yourself. Remember, you have done nothing wrong, and you have the right to work in a safe environment free of sexual harassment.
3.What if you're retaliated against? Don't put up with it. Retaliation can be very subtle, it might be a one-on-one meeting where your boss or co-worker threatens you and/or your job, or you may find yourself with too little or too much work to do to name a few examples. If this happens, document it in your journal, and go back to whomever you spoke to the first time and report the retaliation. Continue to do so for as long as it continues. Don't let up on the abuser, tell him/her to stop it immediately. Don't discontinue reporting, even if it appears that no one is listening to you, or even if they tell you to stop. You have the legal right to report the retaliation, any further sexual harassment, and to work in an environment which is not hostile. Remind anyone of that if they attempt to thwart your efforts.
4.Ok, you've kept a journal, you've reported any further incidents of harassment and retaliation, you've repeatedly told the harasser to stop, but nothing is improving. You've done everything you can and the workplace has become a nightmare. You wake up in cold sweats from dreams about the situation, you're having trouble sleeping, eating, and you're suffering from depression and/or extreme anxiety. At this point my advice to you would be to quit and find another job. You may be thinking you need this job. No you don't. No job is worth being in if you are being sexually harassed and retaliated against.
It's not worth your health, it's not worth your time, and it certainly isn't worth any amount of money. Quit. It's that simple. Think you won't be able to claim unemployment. Not necessarily. If you can prove to the unemployment department that you had no choice but to quit and why then you have a chance. Show them your journal, show them a copy of your employment file, (Make sure you get a copy of this prior to quitting. Legally your company must provide you with a complete copy of your file within a specified time period usually 48 hours after the request is made.) show them your medical records if you went to doctors and/or therapists in an effort to cope with the situation. Have the person you are working with at the unemployment office call the person you reported the incidents to at the company you worked for, or the Labor Board. The important thing here is to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt there was no choice but quitting. Of course you also have the option of applying of other jobs while keeping your current job, just be aware you may have to quit prior to finding another job. Don't stay if you can safely leave, especially if you have savings or can get help to tide you over until you have a new job.
You've quit, you've found another job, you're done right? Wrong. Don't shred, or throw out your journal, or your employee file, or anything from your doctor/therapist that helps to prove what happened to you. Keep all of these things, and stay in touch with co-workers at your old job. You never know when someone may file a lawsuit against the company and/or the sexual harasser. It's also possible a co-worker might quit and need your proof to back theirs up so they can get unemployment. The last thing to do is make a second set of everything and put it in a safety deposit box, or give it to a trusted friend or neighbor. This way if your house burns down or some other catastrophe happens you still have your proof.
Ultimately the choice is yours as to how to handle sexual harassment, but the important thing to remember is you have the right to a safe and enjoyable work environment. My final words of advice to you are, choose to not be a victim of sexual harassment.

Favourite piece of 20th century music (Rest is Noise centric)
Linked to The Rest is Noise festival in London this year, the Guardian have just published this:
Apart from all the usual suspects, there are some interesting choices in there too - notably Sibelius, Harvey and Bryars.
Also interesting how there's nothing from Berio, Cage, Boulez, Part, Xenakis, Carter etc...
So do any of you have a favourite piece of 20th century music?
How is Sibelius not one of the most obvious of usual suspects?
Other than maybe the fact that they've chosen 7 where most lists might pick 5 (I'd go for 2 or 3, personally...).
Anyway, no, I don't have a favourite piece of 20th century music (by which I'm taking you to mean "classical" music composed in the 20th century).
What I do have is a very very long list of quote-unquote 20th century music I love and which, seeing as it's Friday night and I'm a few sheets to the wind, I have no qualms typing out a small selection of even though I know nobody gives the remotest of flying fucks.
So yeah, top tier (and contenders for "favourite"):
Alfvén - Symphony 4 and the 1st (maybe also the 2nd?) Swedish Rhapsody
Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky
Sibelius - fucking everything, but for the sake of argument we'll say Symphonies 2 + 3 and the Finlandia hymn and maybe the Lemminkainen suite and Nightride & Sunrise
Shostakovich - Piano Concerto 2
Rautavaara - Cantus Arcticus
Bantock - Celtic Symphony
Glière - Symphony 2
Vaughan Williams - too much, again, but let's go with Symphonies 6 + 7 and the English Folk Song Suite and the Lark Ascending because I'm not tryhard enough to pretend otherwise, and also the Serenade to Music because I can
Bax - Symphony 6
Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez
de Falla - Noches en los Jardines de España
Pärt - Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten
Respighi - Pini di Roma
Second tier (hardly worth separating, really, but I've done it now):
Glass - Low Symphony
Richard Strauss - Alpine Symphony
Martinu - pretty much any of each of the 6 symphonies, let's say maybe 3 + 6
Nielsen - ditto, but make the arbitrary choices 4 + 5
Milhaud - La Création du Monde
Janacek - Sinfonietta, and the suite from From The House of the Dead (had the overture to this in my head when I've woken up for the last few weeks or so, worrying stuff. Maybe chuck in a few other opera suites too - and while we're at it, Rimsky-Korsakov's suites-from-the-operas were mostly 20th century as well, whack 'em all in).
Mahler - Symphony 8
Kamran Ince - Symphony 2 "Fall of Constantinople"
Avshalomoff - Flute Concerto
Carlos Chávez - Symphony 4
Revueltas - Le Noche de los Mayas
Barber - Adagio for Strings
Ruth Gipps - Symphony 2
Britten - Sinfonia da Requiem
Turnage - Drowned Out
Adès - Asyla
Prokofiev - Scythian Suite
Shostakovich - Symphony 5 and maybe a few others - 10 and 13, I guess
Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel, Für Alina
Also would have from that article Schoenberg's 5 pieces, Webern's 6 pieces, Music for 18 Musicians, the Quartet for the End of Time, and the Rite.
Sean, you can close DiS now, you're not gonna get a better list of music.
No replies.
Good list!
I'd pretty much have everything from Sibelius that you've listed, at one point he was easily my favourite composer full stop.
So would it be fair to say you're not really a fan, given from the choices you've made, of the more avant-garde and experimental stuff from the last 100 years or so?
Depends on your definitions, really. Given the choices I've made, I'd personally say that was an untrue statement
what with inclusions of Webern, Ince, Mahler, Prokofiev, Adès, Pärt, Schoenberg, Reich, Glass, Shostakovich, Rautavaara, Strauss, Janacek, Nielsen, Milhaud, Britten, Turnage, Messiaen, Stravinsky, et al. All of whom were probably just as experimental and groundbreaking as anyone else mentioned in the Guardian article /the OP.
But then if you're defining "avant-garde and experimental" just in terms of the fashionable movements like serialism, minimalism, musique concrète, etc. that indie hipsters love then, yeah, it's probably under-represented (though still in that list if you look closely).
On the other hand, it's true that
most of my list is pretty tonal and weighted heavily towards the first half of the century. I'd never even attempt to hide that I'm essentially a romantic at heart.
I would also like to add Martinu's Fantasia for theremin, oboe, string quartet & piano to my list
and you can judge fo yourself whether you think this is an attempt to make it "edgier".
Hmm by avant-garde I guess I'm mainly referring to post-1950/60 music
And by experimental I mean composers like Ives, Cage, George Crumb, Henry Cowell, Morton Feldman, Ruth Crawford Seeger, etc. I was more picking up on the pre-1950 weighting (as you mention below) of your list.
There are large swathes of your list and mine which would cross-over, I'll do mine in a minute, but in terms of absolute favourites I think I'm far more fond of the developments in the latter half of the century.
Incidentally I resent the implications of that music being popular for 'indie hipsters'. The main audiences for this type of music is as far from that demographic as you can get...
this list puts me in a headlock
Think Dan just won DiS. Not even any fucking Holst. I'm partial to Arvo Part (add yr own umlaut) but I need to hear so much else I'm trembling to think about it
As a fan of mindbending prog and insane Cardiacs-tastic melody, where next?
Sadly, as the above conversation with numbersman hints at,
this isn't really the school of music that most prog- (and post-) rockers draw most from, so I'm sure he/others will be able to provide better suggestions than me.
That said, there's still plenty there I think you'd like - I'd be inclined to start with the Milhaud piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3GPtgY9hSQ
Oh yeah, and obvious crossover piece: Glass's Low Symphony
which is based on Bowie's Low.
yo this is cool
had feared an excess of le fromage but actuellement c'est triste et joyeux in more or less equal and complementary measure
Sibelius has never been taken massively seriously as a modern composer
He's seen as too reliant on tonality, and not radical enough in many ways (despite being quite innovative in his use of structure and motivic development). He doesn't sound progressive enough, basically, due to the similarities between his style and the late 19th century school of composition.
So whenever there are big discussions on 20th century music, he's often overlooked, especially due to his large period of inactivity after the late 1920s.
I think that depends massively on who's having the discussions
I agree he can be overlooked, but at the same time if you drew up a list of the top half-dozen or so 20th century composers with the highest profile, he'd be right in there with Debussy, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, etc.
I'd also argue that, while he obviously straddled the turn of the century, a larger part of why he doesn't sound "progressive enough" is due to the following century or so of music inspired by him.
Well it was academics and critics during his lifetime who called him unprogressive
It's mainly after WWII that he's been seen as pushing boundaries, in far more subtle ways than his contemporaries, and admired for this.
But yes, he's popular and rightly so. I suppose with Sibelius and Rachmaninov, because they're so intrinsically linked with late-romantic music, they're very well engrained in the symphony orchestra's repertoire. And because of this, the general audiences for these types of concerts don't necessarily equate either composer with the 20th century, it's often forgotten due to their musical language.
Don't know about my favourite
But a piece I've been enjoying greatly recently is La Monte Young's 'The Well-Tuned Piano'. It's stupidly rare to get hold of a physical copy, but this podcast is a full recording of one of his performances:

Nintendo is showing off its 3D handheld gaming system and introducing updates to classic game franchises like "Donkey Kong" and "Kirby."
It's part of an effort by Nintendo to stay ahead of its rivals by sticking to what it knows best — video games.
Meanwhile, Sony and Microsoft are working to expand the reach of their consoles beyond gaming.
At the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on Tuesday, an industry conference of 45,000, Nintendo introduced the 3DS, the latest version of its popular handheld device.
But unlike other attempts at 3D screens, the gadget works without special glasses.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter says Nintendo "blew people away." But the big question is the price.
Nintendo didn't say how much the 3DS would cost or when it will be available.

"Blagging, lying and whinging..." Crikey, did I say that?
Anyhoo, Restaurant Magazine, I'm in it, get it bought. Available from all good magazine stands, dancing chefs not included.
Labels: cupcakes digest, gay gordons, rent a quote, restaurant magazine, Restaurant uniforms, the magazine stand two step
But don't go getting all big-headed over the fame.
Some of us have been reading your eloquent observations a lot longer than those buzzards.
wendy: Moi? Big headed.....? Ha! My head is huge.....but not for that reason...
"Pans - our guide to the best".
Yep, hooking up a subscription right now....
99 words: That smells like sarcasm to me....I hope your scrambled eggs stick to the bottom of your pan.....ha
Was it the skinny one with blond hair or the one with no chin and a neck like a hippo?
Yay for your expert input!
My complaint with the shirts were that the button fronts are made far too large for women. At one place the shirt tails fell to my mid-thigh. so I had to take scissors to them all and cut them down just below the waist. Otherwise it would instantly add the appearance of 5-7 pounds to my mid-section.
99 words: neither of those actually...but I did enjoy the second description...but this one is a v good chef...
medbh: cheers matey. they never ever consult the staff when it comes uniforms.....and this is why they are always so poor....
I have bad memories of my food-service shirts. My bra showed, and all the boys made fun of me. Later, they only wished . . .
Hope the mention lead somewhere....
Is there a centrefold?
Fair play Manuel, must be a pleasant feeling having your expertise quoted. I remember that post and nodding solemnly in a agreement from my own past experience.
And to boot, Tony is a damn wise man. I was out to brunch last weekend and our waiter had a colour-faded, ill fitting shirt, logo of the restaurant stitched in to the pocket, tucked into a long but overly tight apron with the previous eatery's logo on it. I've never felt so confused and alienated!
Just messin'. Good work.
; ]
(Smiley face forgives all!)
sassy: oooh hows the head today? yes poorly made shirts do tend to expose bras etc......so not cool
mj: yup, big pat.......sorry not pat, Pot.....hahahaha
PRyin: actually that sounds like me....
I suggest you photocopy "Pork's Potential - Cheap Cuts and
Full Flavour" for your butcher buddies. They could use some alliterative help with their jolly japes.
conan: bwahahaha...no the less contact the better....in-order-pay-out......no room for jolliness.....
If you don't mind me asking do you get paid for such work? You should get paid.
Jill: paid....Manuel works for love and free publicity but not for money.....alas....do you want to give me some money? seriously
Money? Me? My dear I probably have less than you.
Next will be a tv appearance. I know it!
steve: oh crikey no.....I already turned down some radio..twice....
jill: down the back of the sofa.....always cash there....especially bill gates' sofa.....ha
I don't see a mention of Old Knudsen, remember you'd be a nobody without me.............. er more of a nobody.
I got a mention in 'Guns'n'Hoors weekly' you should check it out I did of course mention you.
Sure, Manuel, it's the apron's fault you can't walk at speed or climb stairs...
Would "Fred and Ginger" be a sneaky wee clue as to who the restauranteur in question was?!
sooz: no, no it's not at all......but good try.....
