Evacuation of Russians from Syria reflects Moscow's doubts about Assad's grip on power
MOSCOW – The Kremlin's evacuation of Russians from Syria on Tuesday marks a turning point in its view of the civil war, representing increasing doubts about Bashar Assad's hold on power and a sober understanding that it has to start rescue efforts before it becomes too late.
The operation has been relatively small-scale, involving under 100 people, mostly women and children — but it marks the beginning of what could soon turn into a risky and challenging operation. Analysts warn that rescuing tens of thousands of Russians from the war-stricken country could quickly become daunting as the opposition makes new advances in the battle against the Syrian president.
"It's a sign of distrust in Assad, who seems unlikely to hold on to power," said Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East expert with the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow office.
Russia has been Assad's main ally, pooling together with China at the United Nations to block international sanctions against his regime. But it has increasingly distanced itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling it is resigned to the prospect of him losing power.
On Tuesday, four buses carrying about 80 Russians crossed into Syria, the first evacuation organized by Moscow since the start of the conflict nearly two years ago. Russia said a day earlier that about 100 of its citizens in Syria would be taken to Lebanon and flown home.
Malashenko said that the evacuation reflected a strong concern in Moscow that Assad's fall would put Russians in grave danger. "There is a strong likelihood that Assad's foes could unleash a massacre of those whom they see as his supporters," he said.
In addition to tens of thousands Russians permanently living in Syria, most of whom are Russian women married to Syrian men and their children, there is also an unspecified number of diplomats and military advisers along with their families. The evacuees were permanent residents not connected to the embassy.
Georgy Mirsky, the top Middle East expert with the Institute for World Economy and International Relations, a government-funded think-tank, warned that Russians in Syria are facing growing risks.
"Many are reluctant to leave, hoping that the situation could somehow stabilize," he said. "But Aleppo is already half-ruined, and it will soon come to that in Damascus too. Sooner or later, Assad is going to lose."
Russia could rely on Assad to provide a military escort for caravans of refugees, but such protection may not be reliable enough with the Syrian army's resources drained by the need to battle rebels all around the country.
Refugee convoys could make an easy target for the rebels when they try to move to neighboring Lebanon for a flight home. Direct Russian flights to Syrian airfields also would be a risky option with rebels possessing portable anti-aircraft missiles.
"That's why they sent the planes now without waiting until the eleventh hour when rebels come close to victory," Mirsky said.
Alexander Golts, an independent Moscow-based military analyst, said that if Russia sees Assad's defeat as imminent, it would have to quickly organize a massive air bridge to take its citizens home. He said that such an effort would be extremely challenging and require sending troops to protect an air base in Syria that would be chosen for the evacuation to make sure that no rebels armed with anti-aircraft weapons are in close vicinity.
Even now, with Assad's forces in control of the area around Damascus, Russian planes flew to Beirut in a clear move to reduce security risks, Golts said.
A Russian navy squadron, currently in the Mediterranean, is scheduled to conduct maneuvers off Syria's shores later this month. It includes four landing ships capable of carrying several hundred marines and armored vehicles.
Golts said that that the marines on board the vessels could be deployed to protect an airfield in Syria if Moscow decides to launch a massive evacuation effort.
"Under the most favorable circumstances, it will be barely enough to take control of an air base and ensure its relative security," Golts said. Protecting the area around the base chosen for evacuation is essential to reduce risks posed by portable anti-aircraft missiles, which rebels already used to down Syrian military aircraft.
The Russian government has given no signal that such an operation could be in the making.
Russian officials have said that both planes and navy ships could be involved in the evacuation of Russian citizens. Russia has a navy base in the Syrian port of Tartus, the only such outpost outside the former Soviet Union, which could be used for loading the evacuees on sea vessels.
Officials haven't given any indication yet that the landing vessels now in the Mediterranean could take any evacuees on board. And after the ships head home after the maneuvers, it would take weeks for another squadron to reach the Mediterranean.
A mass evacuation of Russians from Syria would face other logistical challenges.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that it has contingency plans to evacuate Russians, but it has admitted that only a few thousand of tens of thousands of Russians have left their contact details at the Russian consulate.
Golts said that if the escalating fighting forces Russians to flee Syria en masse, they will have to get to the planes themselves through the war-torn country. "It's hard to imagine how they could organize military protection for convoys," he said.

4 Ways to Eat Ground Cherries
Ground cherries - or husk cherries - produce in great quantities at the end of their season, which is about now. You might find them at the farmer's market and wonder, "What do I do with these?":
Here are four ideas for using the fruit at home, from the gallery above:
- 1: Ground cherries in a pint container, as you're likely to find them at your local farmer's market.
- 2: Sugar and Cinnamon Ground Cherries, via Kitchen Therapy, can be used in place of raisins. (They also recommend drying halved ground cherries sprinkled with salt and pepper for a savory alternative. Yum - thanks, Vincent!)
- 3: Another way to preserve the fruits is by making jam out of them.
- 4: Show off the fruit's beautiful husks, which appear wing-like when peeled back. Simply peel back the husk of each fruit, leaving it attached. Wash, dry, and serve as a beautiful garnish on cereals, yogurt, or ice cream.
- 5: Because the ground cherry is related to the tomatillo, we'd be interested to try it in a salsa like this Ground Cherry Salsa from Cater Tots.

Re: Patents
Luckily that patent isn't granted yet, and it only appears to cover the specific case of windows that are originally opaque, then fade slowly to being translucent while they are inactive, and then become opaque again when they change. If a window manager does that, it might violate the patent (if it is granted). Otherwise, translucent windows are just fine. In fact, I know of specific prior art for this patent: Bluecave Winamp Slider has been doing this exact thing since 2001, and the patent was filed in 2003. So take that, stupid patent! There's nothing to worry about here.

Re: xorg
Although Hans gave that impression, I now think (looking at the blog) that he's currently got it detecting and using XComposite when available, otherwise working old-style.
The old-style screenshotting is needed in the code anyhow, due to unforeseen limitations of XComposite (see his blog).
On an unrelated note, I'm planning to do a BSD port (i.e. an addition to the ports collection - it runs fine on BSD if you have KDE 3.2) of this once I've got on more on top of my work :-)

Mini Review
I've used skippy before, and just installed the SUSE 9.1 rpms from the sf.net site.
Kompose "feels" much more like a KDE app than skippy. Skippy is much more minimalist and seems faster, but kompose sits in the system tray and has a KDE-esque configure dialogue. Skippy feels like an X app... it works well, but kompose has the UI advantage. Plus kompose has some nifty features above Expose like minimizing windows in "global view" and viewing all windows grouped by desktop. Stuff that makes sense on a X server.
Both have the fatal flaw of having to move each window to the foreground, wait for it to redraw and then take a snapshot before it can display the "global view". Maybe the new extensions in x.org can help limit that?

The Xcomposite extension can help to limit that (but only for non-minimized windows on your current desktop). I read that the "Skippy-XD" version of Skippy already supports it.

Re: Mini Review
except that Skippy-XD, while making use of the Composite extensions (previously found on the freedesktop.org X server), seems to have some problems with KDE, with the same screenshot being repeated over different windows and window-switching not actually working :(

I've been asked quite a few times to make an Enhance guide on stream so hopefully this can help out! This guide is written mainly for players new to playing enhance in arena / PvP.
What changed about Enhance in 6.0.3 for PvP?
Enhance has changed so much in WoD. Some major points:
1.) We lost our burst. Ascendance does not really "burst" that much anymore.
2.) Our overall damage is much lower.
3.) Elemental Blast hits lower than lightning bolt unless you Unleash it.
4.) We lost Spiritwalker's Grace.
5.) Our mana pool for healing and purging is overall increased.
6.) You can no longer Tremor while you are feared.
7.) Echo of the Elements works on Lava Lash and Stormstrike.
There are tons of other changes too, but the biggest thing is our gameplay. In Mists we were a burst oriented spec, now we are brought into arenas mainly for our utility and purges.
PvP Talents
Above are the general talents I use in arena. Some of them should be swapped depending on what comp you are playing, and what you are playing against.
Level 15:
Highly Recommended: Nature's Guardian
Nature's Guardian provides the best defensive boost for Enhance. Astral shift isn't bad, but the cooldown is too long for how long it lasts. Stone Bulwark is also a long CD and totem can be killed.
Level 30
Recommended: Windwalk Totem
Any 3 of these talents are viable. What is best will depend on many factors such as your play-style, the composition you're running, and what you're fighting against. Windwalk Totem is my general recommendation because Enhance suffers from mobility. Nearly any team you see in arena will slow or snare you in someway. Windwalk Totem is really nice for this situation. Windwalk Totem also helps a Beastmaster Hunter's stampede.Earthgrab is nice when you fight compositions that really need you to snare. An example is a death knight team without a freedom.Frozen Power has a similar logic to Earthgrab. It's also really good when you play with a druid to Frozen Power someone into a Solar Beam.
Level 45
Recommended: Totemic Projection or Call of the Elements
Call of the Elements is nice because it allows you to use double tremor and double freedom. I highly recommend Call of the Elements against any Priest or Warlock teams, and even Hunter + Warrior (Wyvern Sting + Warrior Fear). Totemic Projection is amazing to make your Capacitor Totem truly useful.
Level 60
Recommended: Echo of the Elements
Echo of the Elements lets you go almost "rotationless." You can pretty much hit Stormstrike / Lava Lash as much as you want when you account for the fact that you will be purging a ton in arena. Echo of the Elements procs extremely often especially when you get hit (it works on lightning shield.) Since NS no longer works with Hex this is by far the best talent imo.
Elemental Mastery is good for compositions that really rely on burst to win. However, it's purgable, and in the current WoD meta you do not want to use this against a ton of teams.
Level 75
Recommended: Ancestral Guidance
Ancestral Guidance helps a ton with healing burst. Healing Stream talent isn't bad either if you're against a Warlock or Moonkin.
Level 90
Recommended: Unleashed Fury
This entire tier is bad honestly, there really isn't a good talent here. This seems to give us the most on-demand damage, but it's closely followed by Elemental Blast. You can honestly pick any talent in this tree and you will hardly noticie the difference except for Primal. Primal would be the best talent if your opponents don't kill your totem that has ~26K HP (1-2 hits).
Level 100
Recommended: Elemental Fusion or Liquid Magma
Another relatively useless tier. Elemental Fusion is the best if you can't use Liquid Magma (it breaks CCs). Otherwise, Liquid Magma provides the most damage. Storm Elemental is really only good versus teams that has no knowledge of the fact they can just kill your totem in one to two hits.
Similar to talents Glyphs should be adjusted to what you play and what you play against. In general I keep Lightning Shield Glyph and Frostbrand Glyph as mandatory. The last one I swap out a lot.
Prime Glyphs:
Lightning Shield - 10% damage reduction most of the time, incredibly useful for a squishy class like Enhance.
Frostbrand Glyph - Applies a slow for you automatically, incredibly useful for a melee.
Purge - Useful for really saving some of your globals, but if you get unlucky you can be stopping yourself from purging useful buffs. Use when you are not the only purge / dispeller on your team.
Purging - Extremely useful for any teams you plan to purge spam. It allows you to heal a ton or use lightning bolts much more often.
Capacitor - Useful for teams where you can keep Totemic Projection and you are afraid they may snipe your 5 second charge time totem.
Hex - Reduces your hex cooldown by 10 seconds. Extremely effective against teams with no curse dispel or only one curse dispeller.
Spirit Walk - Reduces your Spirit Walk CD by 25%. Nice for teams where you need to keep kiting or if you get heavily kited.
Ghost Wolf - Makes you run at 100% even when you are slowed when using Ghost Wolf. Similar logic to Spirit Walk glyph but in a more consistent manner.
Major Glyphs:
Lava lash for teams where your Flame Shock dot can break CCs.
Gems / Enchants / Stats
Priorities for Stats:
Multistrike and Crit are terrible since they scale less in PvP. The best thing to do for gearing is try to avoid these 2 stats as much as possible.
Recommended Enchants:
Versatility on everything. Haste enchant on weapons.
What rotation do you use in PvP?
There is no "specific" rotation in PvP. For Enhance Shamans it is exceptionally strange due to how important purging is and Echo proccing all the time.
Generally when you're not purging you want to use your 4-5 Maelstrom procs ASAP. Outside of that you want to use Stormstrike and Lava Lash. Keep Flame Shock up, keep Searing Totem or Fire Pet totem up. Unleash is a button you hit when you get kited or you have nothing else to do.
Macros / Keybindings?
Macros are largely personal preference. I prefer using @party1 and @arena1 kind of macros. Some players do it differently. Do what works for you!
Macros I use, and the keybinding I use with it:
For my shaman:
` = Start Attack with Unleash Elements
/startattack /cast Unleash Elements
6 = Cancel BOP
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
Ctrl + D = Burst Macro
/cast Ascendance
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Elemental Mastery
/use Malevolent Gladiator's Badge of Conquest
Shift + F = Solar Beam
/cast Symbiosis
R / T / Y = same as my Ret, /focus @arena1 / @arena2 / @arena3
F = Wind Shear Arena 1
/cast [target=arena1] Wind Shear
G = Wind Shear Arena 2
/cast [target=arena2] Wind Shear
H = Wind Shear Arena 3
/cast [target=arena3] Wind Shear
Alt E = Frost Shock Arena 1
/cast [target=arena1] Frost Shock
Alt R = Frost Shock Arena 2
/cast [target=arena2] Frost Shock
Alt T = Frost Shock Arena 3
/cast [target=arena3] Frost Shock
Alt F = Cleanse Spirit Party 1
/cast [target=party1] Cleanse Spirit
Alt G = Cleanse Spirit Party 2
/cast [target=party2] Cleanse Spirit
Alt S = Healing Surge Party 1 Macro
/cast [target=party1] Healing Surge
Alt D = Healing Surge Party 2 Macro
/cast [target=party2] Healing Surge
Ctrl + Z = Rockbiter Macro
/castsequence [@none] Frostbrand Weapon,Rockbiter Weapon
/use 17
/click StaticPopup1Button1
Ctrl + X = Focus Frost Shock
/cast [target=focus] Frost Shock
Ctrl + A = Focus Windshear
/cast [target=focus] Wind Shear
Ctrl + S = Focus Purge
/cast [target=focus] Purge
Alt + X = Focus Hex
/cast [target=focus] Hex
As said with almost everything, Macros have a lot to do with personal preference. You can also use modifiers for different skills in your macros. Use these only as a general guideline and form your own macros!
Stormstrike before you Ascendance in general. The Stormstrike in Ascendance does not share CD with it.
Make sure to Unleash before Elemental Blast or Lightning Bolt if you're using Unleashed Fury or Elemental Blast.
Keep in mind in WoD now we do not exactly do the most damage in the world. Pressure from Enhance is a stacking effect from purging, and somewhat decent consistent damage and a constant low CD ranged interrupt + other utilities. Don't be too discouraged when the damage on the scoreboard shows you're lower than everyone else! We also have probably one of the best constant heals in the game, so make sure you're using those procs.

Trunk failover issue
Hi All
I'm having problems configuring a trunk port in failover mode for openBSD 4.9.
The situation is this, I have one bsd with two interfaces(vic0 and vic1) that are directly connected to a simple switch on the third port of the switch I have a windows machine.
The idea is that I want the BSD to have redundant interfaces and I want to do it by uniting the two vic cards in to one failover trunk interface.
It looks simple but no matter what I try it is not working:
This is my configuration:
# ifconfig
vic0: flags=8b43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,ALLMULTI,S IMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0c:29:87:da:42

inet 10.30.0.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.30.0.255
The windows machine has IP: 10.30.0.100/24 and at the moment the ping is going fine but if I put vic0 down the ping stops ;(
Please advice on how can this be fixed or if Im missconfiguring something!
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
CAVEATS The trunk protocols loadbalance and roundrobin require a switch which supports IEEE 802.3ad static link aggregation; otherwise protocols such as inet6(4) duplicate address detection (DAD) cannot properly deal with duplicate packets.
The best way to learn UNIX is to play with it, and the harder you play, the more you learn.
If you play hard enough, you'll break something for sure, and having to fix a badly broken system is arguably the fastest way of all to learn. -Michael Lucas, AbsoluteBSD
Hello and welcome.
First, I don't think an 802.3ad switch is needed for trunkproto failover, since only one link should normally ever be used at a time.
Second, there is a history of problems with trunk failover with specific NIC drivers due to recognizing states appropriately. From memory, ath(4) comes to mind, but I seem to recall additional drivers having similar problems, including one I was using at one time, perhaps vr(4) or dc(4). If you scan through the misc@ archives, you will see a history of informal problem reports with little discussion and the occasional driver patch, or a pointer to a driver patch on the tech@ archives.
Third, you seem to be using a VMWare NIC driver, vic(4). This may have a similar state recognition issue to some of the other "real" drivers, or other limitations of its vmxnet protocol.
Fourth, setting an interface "down" may not trigger a proper failover. Removing physical connections to force a link inactive may be a better test. If you are using them. With vic(4), there are no cables to pull, unfortunately.
All of this is just opinion, of course.
Thank you for the answers!!
Yes you are correct, I'm using VMWorkstation to run those test, but I have a phisical machine with two realteck cards in it and the issue is still the same, I looked a lot in google but it doesn't seem like someone else is having the same issue.
Also you were right when I unplug the cable everything is working fine (Thanks for that), but I still don't understand if this is the way it should work.
If you ask me if I put the master card down the other should take its load
Thanks for those answers guys
Somehow when it comes to interface bonding/balancing/failover I think about LACP first.
The best way to learn UNIX is to play with it, and the harder you play, the more you learn.

Irish Consul General Noel Kilkenny and Northern Ireland Bureau Director Norman Houston attended the event that recognized the contribution of the Pittsburgh community towards achieving peace in Northern Ireland.
Steelers President Art Rooney was on hand to welcome Noel Kilkenny and Norman Houston, along with County Executive, Rich Fitzgerald, Congressman Mike Doyle and Tim Murphy, Ireland Institute Board Chairman, Dan Gallagher, and several other local business and Irish community leaders.
Since 1989 the Institute has conducted training programs for over 2000 young unemployed people, Catholic and Protestant, from Ireland through the International Fund for Ireland's Wider Horizons Program which will close at the end of 2014.
The Institute recognized Pittsburgh's impact on hundreds of Wider Horizons alumni. Pittsburgh area companies and families have been instrumental to the success of these programs, opening their doors to welcome and teach these young people, improving their skills for work and for life. As a result of the program hundreds of young people returned to Ireland with the confidence and capacity to pursue their career interests, start families, and contribute to their communities.
Graduates from the 71st and final IFI program, and other Wider Horizons alumni were on hand to share their experiences and express their gratitude on behalf of the hundreds who, in the past 24 years, temporarily called Pittsburgh 'Home.'
"Without our host families and work mentors, these programs would not have occurred," said Institute President, James Lamb.

Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law requires registered owners and drivers to maintain Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage and it is intended to hold down medical expenses for minor injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash without regard to fault. It is also intended to curb litigation costs for minor injuries and non-economic damages. However, in recent years fraud has so permeated this coverage that the initial value of such a system is, at best, diluted and now threatens to be prohibitively expensive for Floridians.
Florida's Insurance Consumer Advocate, Robin Westcott has assembled a working group to develop a policy paper that will formalize the discussion regarding Personal Injury Protection reform. The working group's goal is to formulate a well-documented report that can be used by both Legislators and others to formulate good policy direction for this matter. It is anticipated that the working group's report will be completed by November 2011.

February 05, 2013 07:45 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 5, 2013) - PENSRUS, the leading national company for promotional products, imprinted pens and customized logo items, is offering a great new alternative to tradition. New parents, grandparents and siblings are giving out custom pens, instead of cigars, to announce the arrival of a new baby in the family.
One proud Manhattan grandfather who recently placed an order with PENSRUS for a few hundred customized pens said, "You know, people don't smoke anymore; and besides, cigars smell up the place. Still, I remember when my dad handed out cigars after my little brother was born. He even gave one to me, despite my being only 16. Tradition is important. I wanted to carry this one on when my grandson was born and so I decided to hand out customized pens. It's a healthier, better smelling alternative to a great tradition and my wife is happier too!"
Though less common today, it has long been customary in the United States and Europe to hand out cigars upon the birth of a new baby; especially if that baby was a boy. Many believe that the tradition began because men were excluded from the birth process and so would celebrate by handing out cigars, a rare and pricey commodity, to friends and relatives. As modern families have emerged, so has the tradition unfolded to embrace every situation and welcome every baby, regardless of gender.
Today, PENSRUS is proud to be able to provide an even newer twist on an old tradition. Customizable pens are great for the announcement of a new baby and PENSRUS has an array of choices, and brand names, such as BIC, PaperMate and Scripto to select from.
Promotional products are not just for business marketing. Any special occasion can be marked, and remembered, by gifting your friends, family, business associates and acquaintances with customized pens and other imprinted memorabilia like tote bags, travel mugs, lighters and more.
Visit www.PENSRUS.com today or call 800-736-7787 and find out about great low prices and discount shipping for any of your customized product needs.

With over 50 years of industry experience, PENSRUS, a leading distributor of specialty advertising and promotional products, has helped thousands of companies each year to increase brand awareness through their high quality products.

You Can't Trust Some Babysitters: 55-Year-Old Lady Beats Baby For Crying While She Is Watching TV!
"55-years-old woman was helping one family from Krasnoyarsk for few years, looking after their two children. In 2012 the third child was born in the family, and the parents again used her services, for several hours a day, leaving her with the youngest son. One day the mother came home and paid attention that the baby was crying a lot and lied in the rocking chair face down. To the questions of parents, the nanny answered that parents spoiled the child, he all the time cries and too often asks to be taken in arms."

The lockdown at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth ended Wednesday as had been expected, a prison spokesman said.
The lockdown at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth ended Wednesday as had been expected, a prison spokesman said.
Thomas Sheldrake, public information officer for the USP, said the inmates went on work call Wednesday morning and things were back to normal. Inmates initially had been confined to their cells during the lockdown.
The federal prison went on lockdown status at about 5:15 p.m. Sunday following a fight earlier in the day at the recreation yard and a subsequent altercation in one of the housing units. Two inmates suffered minor injuries.
Sheldrake said the initial fight was the result of a disrespect issue over a basketball game and the second incident was in retribution.
Sheldrake said the inmates who were involved have been placed in a special housing unit pending an investigation and disciplinary action.
While they were initially confined to their cells, inmates at the USP were allowed out of the cells Tuesday but were still confined to their housing units during the lockdown.
All programs at the USP were suspended during the lockdown.
The lockdown impacted only the inmates at the main prison on the USP grounds. The neighboring camp had maintained normal operations, according to Sheldrake.
The USP also was placed on lockdown in late September. That lockdown lasted several days.
That earlier lockdown was reported to have been put in place following three fights in a housing unit and an incident on the recreation yard. Warden Claude Maye later said it appeared the incidents were sparked by a dispute over a television.
According to Sheldrake, the housing unit involved in those earlier incidents is not the same one that was the scene of a fight Sunday.

-must be done in illustrator, photoshop, or indesign
-must include all layers used to create the design
-I must have all rights to the design once it is completed.

Hunter x Hunter - Weekly Episode Comparison of the 1999 and 2011 Anime Series
The purpose of this special thread is to allow for viewers of both the 1999 and 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime series to compare the way the plot was presented in these two adaptations of the manga. By creating this thread, it is our hope that such comparisons will no longer occur in the other Hunter x Hunter threads.

About Kurapika being depicted as a female in the old version:
And hey, look what I've found:
The curve on his shirt must mean he has big breasts, right?
Your comparison to Sakura is like comparing apples and oranges. Or not even that. And surprise, surprise, Kurapica had no problems with sitting with his legs spread later.
Anyway, can the above examples be interpreted as you've interpreted them? Sure. Can they be interpreted the way I've interpreted them? Sure. Which only shows that creators of the old anime did a perfect job since Kurapica's gender hasn't been confirmed in the manga to this day. But unless stated explicitly otherwise Kurapica is a normal guy. And there is not even a hint of faggotry in his scenes, not even close. Contrary to the new anime and the infamous Hunterpedia episode where Killua kisses Gon. Or even worse: http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...k/schwing2.jpg </throwing up>. For that reason alone old anime >> new anime.
While taking screenshots I've remembered about two other things that really annoyed me. The scene of opening the gate in which Madhouse has completely messed up (but hey, at least we got the boring background of Canary ) and when Leorio's arm-wrestle scene was cut out.

I watched the original series so long ago and in a completely different place in my life that I have forgotten quite a bit. Looking at these screenshots though, it is coming back to me quickly. I recall this being one of those indefinable shows that was marketed as shounen but appealed to a wider audience. At first I wanted a sequel, but now I'm kind of happy to have this reboot and get a refresher. It's a quiet day for once so maybe I'll watch a few episodes in a row.
How has everyone liked it in comparison to the old show? I've read people that claim the reboot was meant to be closer to the manga. Has that held true thus far? Looking at crunchyroll, quite a few episodes have already been released, which is nice.

((So they made a separate thread))
First, I'd like to apologize to you all. I was too biased with my latest comparison and I'm sorry if I offended any of you. I went back and re-edited the offensive parts.
I'm not taking back what I think of Kurapika, but next time I'll watch my tone and be and I'll keep my opinion to myself when I compare.

There areas where I think that the '99 series was better, like the soundtrack and some of it's visual aspects e.g backgrounds, lighting and some of the fights in the Hunter exam such as the Hanzo/Gon fights (though that doesn't mean that the new series lacks in either of these aspects, the OST here is very good and if anything I think this show is overall better looking than the '99 series), and area's where the remake just takes the material and then injects it with undiluted awesome, particularly key fights and moments after the Hunter exam. Also, as I mentioned before, the new show is overall better looking due to how consistent the artwork and animation is, as well as the character designs looking more lively and the brighter colour plate (on the filp side, it also means that for some pretty long stretches, the show doesn't really display much fantastic animation, though that changes once the Gon/Hisoka fight starts).
If you are a fan of the '99 series, I recommend giving this one a try.

Ya even though I was complaining some about last weeks episode in comparison to 99', I would still say over-all this has been a great reboot. I think the way they did the Hisoka vs. Gon fight in the "Battle-tower" was done better this time around for example.

It was irrelevant whether this treasure would come from the wooden statue or not, you still wouldn't be any more sure that it was the real thing. It was beyond the point. If they could show that the gems were real then they would sell it for a high price. The problem was that they had no proof. They would need a microscope for that or some third party expert to verify it's authenticity.

singing heartbreak
I think animation wise, 1999 was just better, not to mention the type of music used. Esp at the part where Killua tried to escape Phinks. In 2011, the music they used was the same one they used for Gon/Hisoka's fight, which didn't really fit the Phinks/Killua scene like it did for Gon/Hisoka. The execution of the chase was better in 1999 too, though I did like how they showed different cuts where Gon/Killua was hiding in 2011 verson.

MONTREAL -- This versatile food is found in many cultures around the world
I remember about a decade back, having one of those "let's open a business together" conversations with my sister. "You know what's going to be huge?" she asked. "Meatballs!"
I guffawed a bit, pondered the idea for a few minutes, then thought she was onto something. Meatballs are found in so many of the world's cuisines, they're easy to do, are made with all sorts of different meats (or alternatives for vegetarians) – and who the heck doesn't like a good meatball?
Drown them in sauce, spear them onto a stick, toss them into pasta, or fill a submarine sandwich with them, with meatballs, the options are endless. We never did end up being the meatball queens, though there was a slight meatball trend back around 2000. But, really, how could meatballs be trendy? They will be on our plates forever.
Two best friends who did latch on to the potential of the lowly "boulette" are Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow, who opened a restaurant built around the meatball theme called, you guessed it, the Meatball Shop. Originating in Lower Manhattan, the restaurant now counts three locations where the emphasis is on casual food with mix and match options for the meatballs, sauces and sides.
This book features the restaurant's most popular and inventive meatball recipes, including bolognese, crab cake, goat (made with both goat cheese and meat), chicken wing, tandoori lamb, Thai, bunny and venison, also called Bambi meatballs. The next chapter features sauces ranging from gravies and pestos, to chutneys and dressings. Sides like risottos, potatoes, beans and vegetables make up the next chapter, and the last two chapters are devoted to a dazzling array of salads, and desserts based on the cookies and ice cream theme.
"Food should be enjoyed and not taken too seriously," is one of The Meatball Shop Cookbook's most telling lines. This is not any kind of fancy restaurant tome, but a snazzy little book filled with ideas to help liven up your weekday dinner table. Best of all, the recipes are simple and most include ingredients you probably already have on hand. And the pictures are not only appealing but inspiring.
Meatballs eh? Brilliant idea!
Here is one of the more traditional meatball recipes from the book.
The Meatball Shop's Swedish Meatballs
Makes about 2 dozen 1½-inch meatballs
This classic is best served with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and – for that added Swedish touch – a dab of IKEA lingonberry jam.
2 tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil
3 slices fresh white bread, roughly torn
cup (125 mL) beef broth
cup (125 mL) heavy cream
2 tablespoons (30 mL) unsalted butter
1 onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
teaspoon (1 mL) ground allspice
teaspoon (1 mL) dry mustard powder
2 tablespoons (30 mL) all-purpose flour
1 pound (500 g) 80 per cent lean ground beef
1 pound (500 g) ground pork shoulder
2 teaspoons (10 mL) salt
teaspoon (2 mL) freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (220C). Drizzle olive oil into a 9x13-inch (22x33-cm) baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside
Place the torn bread, beef broth and cream in a bowl and let soak for five minutes.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until transparent, six to eight minutes. Add the parsley, allspice, mustard powder and flour, and stir to incorporate. Pour the contents of the pan into the bowl with the bread mixture and stir until well mixed. Set aside to cool.
Combine the cooled onion and bread mixture with the ground beef, ground pork, salt, pepper and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1½ inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the meatballs in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the centre of a meatball should read 165 degrees F (74C).
Allow the meatballs to cool for five minutes in the baking dish before serving.

The tax credits are available only to companies that have created new jobs by hiring aerospace engineers. Prior to being placed on moratorium, the credits were fully in place for one year. During that time, 348 new engineers were hired in Oklahoma with a direct economic impact of more than $270 million.
At a press conference, Governor Fallin discusses comprehensive lawsuit reforms that she signed into law.

Seems to be another gem in this season. I just wanted to get some seinen in all those yaoi/moeblob/comedy and other funny kids stuff. Seems that this anime delivers. Who knows if it will become like other classics, I have good hopes, at least after first ep. Good music, good animation, good back story, no running around the violence.

Everyone's making a big deal about Akane not being "RAH RAH" enough about joining the force, and thinking she's wishy washy for being somewhat conflicted about her purposes there...but answer me this.
Is the kind of person who was EXTREMELY enthusiastic about the prospect of joining the sociopath hit squad the kind of person you would WANT supervising the sociopath hit squad? All the people who were extremely chipper at the thought of being put in charge of a bunch of psycho hit men probably all got ranked C/D in terms of their ability to actually do the job well.
Who do you think is more likely to learn how to use a weapon responsibly? The kid who practically jumps over himself to get a gun in his grabby little mitts? Or the one who was a bit hesitant/uncertain about learning to use it safely before he became proficient in it?

Hmm, the flow of the story from ep 1 to ep 2 feels a bit choppy...or maybe things are going too fast.
Anyway, I like her compact...to change clothes in that instant, I could use that device.

It's the sense of "if no one else is going to do it, then I shall do it". Akane knows that if she doesn't take up the job no one will. It's not a true restriction since that she can still choose other occupation, but she felt that she has to take the responsibility as being the one suitable.

Episode one was pretty good. Episode two was outstanding. Over before I thought it had really begun. Great storyboard, direction, writing.
And Hanazawa Kana was brilliant: her tone of voice created a forward-moving tension that carried the show along. Seki Tomokazu was terrific, too.
It helped to get a bit of broader social context, and to see some characters (her friends) who looked a bit more similar to Akane.
I hope the holograms emerge from some basic real clothing, since if they don't, any power problems could leave you naked. I wondered if this was actual nanotech construction of each suit of clothing, which is something at the edge of future possibility.
I think you can be depressed without your psycho-pass clouding. She's never in any danger of acting badly. She has pure motives; she just wanted to do something that only she could do. It's like she was supplementing the system, which could only say she was suited for many tasks. She wants to find the one that only she can do, and contribute the maximum to society. She's the opposite of apathetic.

Episode two really caught me, so I made a characters/seiyuus page, with pics of the main characters and their seiyuus, and a bit of info about each seiyuu. Just the characters from the official site's seiyuus page.

Akane's VA is the same as Tenshi from Angel Beats? WHAT....
I have to say, I LOVE THE ED for this show. I can't wait for the full version to be released!
As for the episode, it looks like things resolved how I thought they would. Turns out an Inspectors job IS to employ their own judgment in interpreting what the gun says.
Yayou and Karanomori seem to be lesbians. They really couldn't hint at that any harder. Akane had better be careful, Karanomori may get the idea to prey on her next.
I did enjoy, as others did, the display of technology in this episode. I wish I could change the look of my plain room into anything my computer could find online. That would be AMAZING. I assume you can do the same with your car as well. Make it look pimped out without the actual expense of pimping it out.

Just saw the episode. Its really good coz it explain a lot of things while fleshing out some characters (yay for our lesbian couple ). Also, Akanes cold reaction to that Doc-ladys sex-joke is refreshing coz Im bored with innocent protagonist who always get flustered whenever sex-related conversation is being brought up.
Oh yeah, Im also glad that the raped victim was doin fine .

An interview with Katsuyuki Motohiro, Naoyoshi Shiotani, Tomokazu Seki and Kana Hanazawa. Plus, it has Kana in an Akane cosplay, so this is even more relevant to my interests (totally digging her new haircut).

Thought this second episode was better and helped make me think this will be a good one to follow. Interesting to see how Akane suffers a bit under this system. Her skillset is read and she's suited for so many things that she isn't sure what exactly she is supposed to do. Nice words by Kogame, maybe someone like Akane bringing her sense of justice to this dirty job might be a good thing for all of them.
Also good to hear the victim from the first episode is doing better.

Lorcan Dempsey
DUBLIN, Ohio, 23 June 2014—Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President of OCLC Research and Chief Strategist, has been granted the award of Doctor of the University by the Open University in the United Kingdom. The degree was conferred for Academic and Scholarly Distinction during a ceremony June 21 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The honorary degree recognizes Mr. Dempsey's leading contribution to the transformation of library services and culture as they more fully embrace the opportunities presented by digital technologies. Throughout his career, Mr. Dempsey's work has influenced library innovation, research and policy development.
Gil Needham, Associate Director, Information Management and Innovation, Open University Library Services, discussed Mr. Dempsey's influence: "For those of us interested in the use of digital technologies to enhance and extend the provision of library services worldwide, Lorcan is a major source of inspiration and ideas and has influenced the profession with concepts he has presented in his blog and elsewhere, including the 'inside-out and outside-in library' and the idea of libraries as 'memory institutions.'"
"We are delighted to see Lorcan's work honored in this way," said Skip Prichard, OCLC President and CEO. "Lorcan's influence on libraries during his tenure at UKOLN, Jisc and OCLC has been extraordinary. His ideas have helped frame the way libraries think about their collective future."
"I am honoured and delighted by this award, and I am very grateful to those who helped to make it happen," said Mr. Dempsey. "The Open University is a magnificent institution and I look forward to strengthening the relations with academic and library colleagues there that I have made over the years. It is especially gratifying that the values and outlook of the Open University are so aligned with those of libraries generally."
The Open University's Charter includes provision for the Senate to award the Honorary Degrees of Doctor of the University. Individuals are nominated for these distinctions by members of the University and these are recommended to the Senate by the Honorary Degrees Committee, which is chaired by the Vice-Chancellor. There are eight broad criteria within which nominations can be considered, including Academic and Scholarly Distinction.

BALTIMORE—The UMBC women's lacrosse team (4-2) scored the first three goals of the game and never looked back in an 8-5 victory over Delaware (2-3) Wednesday afternoon at UMBC Stadium.
The Retrievers led off the game with three goals in just over six minutes of action, with two by senior midfielder Ashley Stodter (Silver Spring, Md./Good Counsel). That brief run proved to be enough, as the teams alternated goals for the rest of the game.
Midfielder Corinne Drost scored Delaware's first two goals of the game, putting the Blue Hens on the board for the first time at the 17:05 mark. UMBC led, 5-3, at halftime.
Senior attack Erika Braerman (Fallston, Md./Fallston) opened the second-period scoring with an unassisted goal just 1:21 into the half, and neither team scored again for more than 10 minutes.
With the Retrievers leading, 7-5, and time winding down, junior attack Emily Coady (Westminster, Md./Westminster) gave the home team some breathing room with an unassisted tally with 1:28 to go, accounting for the final score of the game.
Stodter notched her second hat trick of the season, leading all scorers with three goals, while Braerman tallied three points on two goals and an assist. Drost led the Blue Hens with a pair of goals.
The America East Player of the Game, senior goalie Natalie Rau (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) made a career-high nine saves for the Retrievers, while Makenzie Worthington stopped five shots for Delaware.
UMBC outshot Delaware, 20-18, and held an 8-6 edge in ground balls, but the Blue Hens dominated the draw controls, 12-3.
The Retrievers return to action on Sunday, when they host Manhattan at 12 p.m.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Sorry, I can't let "sleeping dogs lie." The lone tombstone in front of the LI State Parks Commission headquarters at Belmont Lake reads: "In Memory Of My Faithful Dog Robin- Mar. 25, 1879." Two years ago, I was thrilled to discover that Robin was the name of a dog that August Belmont Jr. entered twice as a Gordon Setter in the first (1877) Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) Dog Show. At the time, I didn't notice that Robin had a disturbing "dual identity." It seems during that landmark event Belmont also slipped him into the ring as an incognito English Setter.
"A. Belmont Jr., 19 Nassau st. NY
ROBIN, bl. and tan, 8 years, by Royal, out of Rackett. $500."
To revisit my original "Robin" story online see Beacon Archives, "Pets" 2/7/08 which cites evidence that at one time there was a fenced Belmont family pet cemetery but the rest of the headstones must have been moved when the mansion was razed in 1935 and the new park driveway paved. Only Robin's marker remains.My quest to pinpoint the Babylon grave of Westminster's iconic Pointer, Sensation, near Southards Pond has given me a wealth of historical resources, including a facsimile copy of the first WKC show catalogue from Westminster's historian, Mr. Stifel. A 19th Century spectator inked results in the margins. Since then Robin's background has become a parallel pursuit whereas this precious book notes a "Robin" under "Native or Imported Gordon Setter Dogs" (meaning male) and under Special Prize #1 for the "Best Setter" Both times, the listing using Belmont's NYC address, reads:
"A. Belmont Jr., 19 Nassau st. NY
ROBIN, bl. and tan, 8 years, by Royal, out of Rackett. $500."
It's quite plausible this Gordon Setter is the same Robin who died two years later at age ten. The 1,201 dog entrants in the 1877 WKC catalog are described as "not for sale" or at prices ranging from $50 to $10,000. Sensation, the famous Pointer was there too not for competition, not for sale: just for exhibition by the WKC. He was the celebrity draw to the four-day event at the Hippodrome, the first Madison Square Garden. WKC put a $35 stud fee ad for Sensation at the end of the catalogue.
Back to Robin-Belmont also entered two Fox Terriers (his signature breed); Robin's son "Duke" in the same Breed Class as Pop and this pup's Mom "Maud" as a 15-year-old Gordon Setter bitch which further confirmedRobin's breed because the whole family was in the show. Robin came in second, beating sonny "Duke."
"Maud" is also mentioned in D. Black's The King of Fifth Avenue, a 1981 biography of Belmont Sr. when Dad instructs Junior to import a new Gordon brood bitch from Europe aboard the Cunard line because "Maud" was getting old. Seeking more breed proof, I spoke to members of the Gordon Setter Club and looked in vain for Robin in the old stud books at the AKC Library. No Belmont Setter paintings or photos are known to exist, just several of his Fox Terriers.
Shortly after announcing the breed and significanceof the mysterious dead dog at Belmont Lake, I was counting Belmont's WKC entries again, when I saw an identical "Robin" as an "Imported English Setter Dog." Every word (owner, address, age, pedigree, price) was the same except now the color was "black, tan and white frill." At first, I thought it was a misprint.Gordons are solid black & tan, a little white frill is permitted, but not desirable; while English Setters are mainly white with an intermingling of colored flecking. Was Robin, lying below this N. Babylon tombstone, the same dog entered under two different breeds at this historic competition? 'Twas unlikely Belmont would give two dogs from an imported litter the same call name. Hence, I believe "Robin" had some white on him, and Belmont, a shrewd businessman, heir to the renowned horse racing stable, future Major during WWI, was merely a wealthy, gambling 24-year-old gent, maximizing his options.
Did Belmont cheat by double-dipping Robin? Not really. In 1877 dog show rules were inconsistent; the few existing stud books lacked pedigree registration numbers; and the lines between breeds were still a bit blurred. Besides separating Setters into Gordon, English or Irish in early WKC shows, there were additional classes for black & tan plus black, tan & white Setters. In retrospect this seems confusing.
Belmont redeemed himself. Later he was instrumental in standardizing the rules. The American Kennel Club (AKC) wasn't established until 1884 when, buoyed by WKC, 12 dog club delegates met to start a regulatory body to oversee benched shows and field trials. Belmont became AKC president in 1888, the same year the AKC required that every dog in a sanctioned show be registered in the AKC stud book at 50¢ each. He remained a powerful AKC president for 26 years. Theofficialmagazine, "TheAKC Gazette", guaranteed by Belmont's financial backing, still publishes today.While "most-of –the-time Gordon Setter", Robin, died five years before there were any AKC rules, nine years before registration numbers had to be in the catalogue, 13 years before his breed was officially recognized in the US, English Setters still got the last laugh at Belmont's two- timer strategy. "Paris" an English Setter from Ontario was chosen over Robin for that "Best Setter" Special Prize #1, a silver Tiffanycup.

A 49-year-old Long Beach man was killed Friday when he got out of his vehicle after an accident on the northbound 405 Freeway in Torrance and was struck by another vehicle, authorities said.
The collision in the HOV lane occurred about 5:10 a.m. just north of Artesia Boulevard, the California Highway Patrol reported. The man died at the scene of the accident, CHP Officer Jennifer Cassidy said.
County coroner's officials identified the fatally injured motorist as Joseph Montross.
CHP officials said the accident remained under investigation. However, it appeared that Montross' vehicle hit the center divider on the 405, promping him to get out of the vehicle.
Four northbound lanes were closed while the CHP conducted its investigation. They reopened about three hours after the crash.

EPA Awards $55,600 to Promote Deckers Creek Restoration
Release Date: 08/20/2012
Contact Information: David Sternberg, (215) 814-5548, firstname.lastname@example.com
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (August 20, 2012) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today joined city, state and non-profit officials in announcing $55,600 in federal funding to help pave the way for cleaning up mine pollution affecting Deckers Creek and highlighting the economic benefits of creek restoration.
"Today we begin a new chapter in the history of Deckers Creek – one holding great promise for both the health of the creek and the city's economy," said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. "This project clarifies the connection between economic investment and resource restoration, while generating the necessary information for treating polluted water."
The highly competitive grant from the EPA Urban Waters program will fund a study of an abandoned underground coal mine discharging polluted water into Deckers Creek, which runs for three miles through the City of Morgantown. The study will aid in the eventual treatment of the mine water.
The funds will also help initiate a public education campaign to advise business owners and the city's development community about the economic potential of restoring Deckers Creek, and forming a community partnership to take the next steps in the process.
The grant was awarded to Friends of Deckers Creek, a community-based non-profit watershed group working to clean up Deckers Creek, a tributary of the Monongahela River that flows from Preston County into Monongalia County, W.Va. The creek is impacted by acid mine drainage and other pollution issues.
EPA's Urban Waters program helps cities unleash the potential of their waterways and land around them. The funding supports communities' efforts to access, improve and benefit from their urban waters and surrounding land.

Also known as the double shocker. The electric chair involves forming a shocker with each hand and putting those hands together so that they match up symmetrically. The pair of hands is then used to pleasure a female partner in the same manner in which a shocker would. The hands can be moved in opposite directions while inserted in the female also known as "extra-voltage" electric chair. The electric chair originated in Peoria, Illinois.
Steve: I want to give Anna a shocker so bad.
Miguel: Anna is a high class girl. you should use the electric chair.
Steve: Extra voltage time!

Too many pedophiles. Time to dust off the ol' electric chair.

The grizzly act (that hopefully occurs while one is sitting on the toilet) where, all at the same time, urine comes out of the penis fervently; vomit uncontrollably is spewed from the mouth at projectile-like speeds, and a fire-hydrant like charge of diarrhea unwantingly bursts from the anus; causing said victim's muscular system to tense up like they are being electrocuted.
I had a two day binger on the river and suffered from the electric chair after I polished off that plate of tuna fish nachos. Don't go in the bathroom.

when the receiver sits on the givers dick, the giver (normally unknown to receiver) shocks receiver with a taser.
"Don't expect your girl to ever give it up again after she sits on the electric chair."

Really intense sexual intercourse, especially referring to the climax. Goldie Hawn's character in "The Banger Sisters" uses the expression in a similar way.
When she experienced orgasm, she was in the electric chair!
Dude 1: I put my babe in the "chair" the other night.
Dude 2: Huh?
Dude 1: The Electric Chair!
Dude 2: Huh?
Dude 1: Never mind...

text: Hello, On my server I have installed the version 188.8.131.52 of ISPConfig. I created a Shell-User for a particular site and everything worked normally. Therein, I noticed that some folders were created inside the folder of the site, such as bin, dev, lib, lib64 and others. After testing, I delete users (Shell-User), and the folders remained. As root, I try to delete these folders with the command "rm -rf bin" and returns the error "rm: can not remove` bin ': Permission denied". When creating a user, I selected the Chroot Shell Jailkit I've tried several ways (chmod, chown, chattr -i), but it still fails. I need help. Thanks!

Theres only a few little treks I like having a buddy for. The pink sand desert for one, it helps to have each other fly through. I think buddying up is gonna be hella hard for an entire game. I might get my white rob to look more "offishal".Took me FOREVER to find that fucking achievement flower in that dessert (literally, needly in a haystack), one person got it with me. Makes me especially happy if I can help peeps get cool stuff - but a lot just wanna run through. The ancestors achievement creeped me out a little till I "got it". I got lucky with the meditation one, I think some player went to take a piss.
