Irondale, Ala. - The word of the final day of the Tiny Lassiter HBCU Classic was comeback. Tennessee State trailed in both games before making late inning comebacks to grab two more victories. TSU earned a hard fought 2-1 win over Hampton (8-11) in the opener and used a big sixth inning to defeat South Carolina State (9-6) 6-2 in the finale. The Tigers finished the weekend with a 4-1 record and improved to 5-11 on the season.
The first game began with a solo home run on the very first pitch. Margaret Wilkins drove a Shea Morris offering over the centerfield fence to give Hampton a quick 1-0 lead. Morris responded by fanning the next three batters to end the first inning. The sophomore pitcher would buckle down and not allow another hit the rest of the way. Morris improved to 3-6 and recorded nine strikeouts, three walks and a hit-by-pitch.
In the fifth inning trailing 1-0, Lindsey Burgess led off with a double to centerfield and moved to third on a Kacie Daugherty sacrifice bunt. Tayler Shimizu stepped to the plate and hit a high fly ball to right field that scored Burgess without a throw to even the score at 1-1.
The score remained tied as the Tigers headed into their final at bat. Daugherty was issued a one out walk and set the stage for Shimizu once again. The sophomore outfielder dropped a bunt in front of the pitching circle and forced an errant throw that made its way down the right field line. Daugherty would make it all the way around the bases giving TSU the 2-1 win.
In game two, South Carolina State came out swinging collecting eight hits in the first four innings off of Olivia Gamache. The sophomore hurler limited SCSU to an unearned run in the first and an earned run in the third to take a 2-0 advantage.
The Tigers started their comeback in the fourth inning as Burgess ripped her fifth double of the season to centerfield chasing Jayna Hanawahine, who reached on a walk, home all the way from first. After Daugherty moved Burgess to third on a sacrifice bunt, Kate Morris hit a sacrifice fly to center to plate Burgess tying the game at 2-2.
TSU threatened in the fifth by loading the bases for Burgess. The freshman drove a ball to left field in what seemed to be her second consecutive double and clearing the bases to give the Tigers the lead. Bulldog left fielder Jasmine Greer chased down the potential tiebreaker as she ran into the fence. Greer bounced off the fence but was able to hold on and end the Tiger threat.
In the sixth, Coach Dabney's young squad picked up where they left off in the fifth with a single by Daugherty and a double by (Kate) Morris. Shimizu came up in the same situation as in the first game and, as in the opener, delivered a sacrifice fly ball to center giving TSU a one run lead as Daugherty crossed home plate.
The flood gates opened as Jennifer Givens produced an RBI single and Audrey Sensing drove in two more two batters later producing the 6-2 final score.
Gamache retired 11 of the final 12 batters she faced, one reaching by error, and earned the win improving to 2-5. The Exeter, R.I., product struck out six batters, tying her career high, and did not allow a walk.
On the weekend, Givens was 11-for-16 (.688) and scored three runs and drove in five from the lead-off spot. Freshman Kiarra Freeman batted .529 (9-for-17) with two runs scored, while Sensing was 8-for-17 (.471) with a double, two home runs, four runs and seven RBI.
In the circle, Gamache was 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA and (Shea) Morris finished 3-0 with a 0.37 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched. Morris surrendered just nine hits and held opponents to a .134 batting average.
The Tigers return home to host the six-team, three-day Tiger Classic. The field consists of Alabama State, Mississippi Valley State, Saint Louis, Nebraska-Omaha and Indiana. Five games will be played on Friday, with the first game beginning at 10 am. Saturday will be the largest day of competition with six games, with the first scheduled for 9:30 am. The final day of the classic will feature four games, again beginning at 9:30 am.
TSU will play their first game versus Saint Louis on Friday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 4 pm. The complete schedule can be found on the Tournament Central page on tsutigers.com. All of the Tigers games can be heard live on tsutigers.com.

ELL student population growing in SD
This story is the first in a series on English Language Learners (ELLs) in South Dakota. Next month, learn more about professional development, consortium partnerships and other resources available to help schools meet the needs of ELL students.
It is difficult to define ELLs as a group other than to say that they are students whose native language is not English and that they are not yet proficient in English. Often, the commonalities end there. That's because ELLs come from nearly every continent, and represent dozens, if not hundreds, of countries. They speak hundreds of languages, dialects and tongues.
In the United States, ELLs are more likely to be native born than to be immigrants or refugees. They come from every socioeconomic class within American society. Those who come from outside the United States may or may not have been receiving a formal education in their home country, may or may not be literate in their home language, and may or may not know some English.
There are three distinct populations of ELLs in South Dakota:
1) Hutterite colony students who have spoken only German until the time they enter school
2) Native American students
3) Refugees and immigrants
As of December 2013, 101 South Dakota school districts had at least one English Language Learner enrolled. The number of ELLs in South Dakota has grown from about 3,500 to approximately 5,000 in the past five to seven years. Shannon Malone, Title I Director for the South Dakota Department of Education, predicts that number could grow another 20 percent in the next five years.
"The growth in South Dakota's refugee and immigrant student population is similar to what is happening in other parts of the country," says Malone.
Industry is the primary factor driving the growth of the state's ELL population. The largest immigrant and refugee populations are found in Sioux Falls and Huron, partly because of employment opportunities at meatpacking and processing plants. The Aberdeen area is also experiencing growth. The impact is being felt in smaller surrounding communities as well.
The federal government recently made a change regarding Native American students. Schools are no longer required to automatically identify Native American students as ELLs upon their entrance into school.
Meeting the needs of ELL students presents challenges for schools, not only in developing necessary programming but training teaching staff. Recognizing the unique challenges of educating ELLs, the 2013 South Dakota Legislature passed legislation that provides additional funding for students who are considered limited English proficient (LEP). The funding amounts to 25 percent of the current per-student allocation.
Learn more about resources available to schools as we continue our series in February.

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Pennsylvania"
Revision as of 13:17, 1 August 2008
I took out the Author section of this article. See Wikitravel:first person pronouns for more info. --Evan 12:02, 17 Dec 2003 (PST)
I took out the section "Local Travel Guides", as I don't understand what it means. The Cities and Regions sections point to travel guides for cities and regions of Pennsylvania, respectively. --Evan 17:36, 28 Sep 2004 (EDT)
Region breakdown
We need some regions for this state; VisitPA (the state tourist site) has this breakdown, and Open Directory has this one. Should we try to put together something similar? --Evan 17:34, 13 Jan 2006 (EST)
So the more I think about it, the more I think VisitPA got it right: [1]. I know we don't usually go with the states' tourism definitions, but I think in this case they've got it pegged. (The names they chose are cheesy, though, and can be changed.) I know Peter liked the Coal Region, but I'm not sure how useful it is to the traveler. LtPowers 09:13, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
Shuylkill Expwy
I removed the joke about calling the Schuylkill expressway the 'sure kill' expressway. Nobody locally calls it that except to mock the non local people that call it that. Also added the part about staying out of the left hand lane. It's always people from NJ and DE going 55 in the left hand lane on highways, arrrrg. --edg126 14:52, 10 Apr 2007 (EST)

The Oud is one of the most important instruments in Mid-Eastern Music, a lute with a warm sound that is played solo or together with voice and percussion in traditional Arab music.
This theme is built around the Oud, which is present from the beginning, very soon joined by double bass and percussion.
The harmony is played by some Erhus, which are traditional Chinese violins, here played as a small orchestra.
After all the instruments are in, the theme settles and goes on for a while, being suitable as background music for historical or geographical documentaries, videos with desert scenarios, dance, and any situation that needs world music flavours with traditional ethnic instruments from Mid Eastern and Chinese tradition, as well as a smooth double bass and percussion walk.
It's 4:25 long, so can be cut, looped or faded out very easily.
Of course if you need any editing or re-mixing just ask, you're welcome

The 2011 year ended with online holiday spending over $35 billion. The same period last year, 2010, was just over $30 billion. This is from a Comscore report released recently. The report covers November 1st to December 26th. It is amazing that online spending was not only up 15% over the same period the last year. It is also impressive that spending was over $35 billion and the time period of analysis did not extend the full year to December 31st.
Let's all hope that 2012 can be an even better online year. We will continue to update our online coupons such as these coupon codes and others.

Honda CR-V Navigation System
gra6ter1 Posts: 1Thanks for the information. I purchased my 2012 CRV EXL in May. Since then, I have had two instances where the navigation system could not find the address of a well known store and hotel. When I entered the name of the store, it gave me a listing in Oregon, North Carolina? Same with the well known hotel. I am in California! My portable Garmin GPS did not give me this much trouble. I am disappointed in this feature. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to enter the street address without splitting the name of the city or street and then entering the street number. Google maps has the address as "Third" St. The street sign indicated "3rd" St. It is obvious that the system cannot distinguish from the two ways of spelling.
I have Continental Pro Cross tires on the car. I hope I get some decent wear on them.0
There's a lot the Honda CRV-11 can't do and it would appear later editions are no better. I battled for some consideration from Honda for many months and, during that time, here at Edmunds and elsewhere, I received many Honda CR-V owner comments similar to yours and mine. It was our determination, though speculative, that Honda had ordered many thousands of the NAV systems in 2008 or before and then sales dropped so they failed to unload as many as they had on the shelf. Compared to other in-dash systems, (not to mention Garmins) it is steam-powered. The Bluetooth features are terribly deficient and, to cover that in their marketing, promotional materials and manuals, they attempt to blame it on owners' phones as being "not compatible" when, in fact, no phone produced in the U.S. IS compatible. Anyway, I've looked at some after-market systems and, as soon as the warranty runs out on this, I'll be replace mine with something that is commenserate with other late model autos that really are equipped with late model equipment.
Oh, also, we got only 16,000 miles on our factory equipped tires. Outrageous! and, for a "loaded" car, we wound up putting a good rear view mirror and fog lights on which, along with the tires, set us back almost $2000.0
steerpike Posts: 3it's quite amazing to be reading about this problem today. My '07 Acura has a laughable POI database; I reported back in '08 that a search for Shopping / Costco, while sitting in the Bay Area (CA), would bring up 'hits' in Alabama or Oregon or whatever, and the problem was widespread across multiple businesses and categories. I have resolved use my iPhone for initial address lookup, then I plug the address into the GPS (at which point it does a very good job of actually getting me there). You would think that they would have cleared this up by now, since it's a simple problem to fix (just have the database cleaned up - I could fix this myself in a week or two if I had access to all the info).
Any <$200 Garmin or Magellan or whatever gets this right; whoever works on the (Alpine?) solution should be fired for this!
Having said that, I'll still buy the 'Nav' model just because it's always there, requires no wiring, etc, and - as mentioned - does a good job of getting you there once you do find your destination.0
I don't bother much with the Honda's NAV system, even though it cost $1500, anymore. I use Google Maps, MapQuest, my phone or Garmin. I just figure the $1500 is wasted, as if I had bet black on a roulette table and it came up red.
As for the tires, it was Continential that last us 16k. Our roads here in Nevada are very mountainous and we have extreme weather so maybe you'll do better.0
Hi John, we just bought a pair of CRV 2013, one LX and One EX. Do you know of a good after market Nav system? I am wanting a GPS to speak thru the car speakers and interupt the music when giving you directions, very much like when you receive a phone call. Thanks in advance0
Try the Navigation GPS Systems discussion too.0
Thank you Steve0
Interesting comment you made about skipping the NAV as it was a very expensive upgrade for 2008 technology. Honda reads these boards; maybe they'll get it figured out soon.0
Yes Steve, I bought 2 CRV 2013 in the last 2 months, one an LX and one EX. Honda does not allow the built in NAV system as an upgrade or add on feature. If you want a built in NAV system they are forcing you to purchase an EX-L-NAV, which has the leather seats and a few other options, like upgraded stereo including a sub woofer which does not perform, dual zone AC, Auto climate control , electric seats and heated seats etc. The additional difference is $3,000 more. I have read in a forum where the NAV systems they are putting in these cars are old technology units that apparently you can purchase off ebay for about $300-$500. The CRV is great. I am on my second tank of gas and I am currently getting 33.9mpg according to the on board computer.. I just wish I can find a GPS NAV unit or system that would be able to intergrate with Honda's I-Mid system.0
The 2011 NAV (actually an older one they had on inventory and wanted to get rid of, as far as we can tell) does interrupt music to give directions, incoming calls. My problems with the system were primarily incompatibility with 2011 Bluetooth technology and they tried to cover it up by having this gird of "compatable" phones and no phone then made in the U.S. was compatable enough to utilize all Bluetooth features. Pretty sly.
Also, as for accurate directions, it is OK most of the time but not as good as Garmin or even Google Maps, Mapquest. I paid $1500 for it and they nailed me for a "Update CD" that was $185, a year later. They've since issued another "Update CD" but I didn't buy it between my Garmin and phone, I have all the navigation I need. The Bluetooth problem is hard wired in the NAV system and can't be fixed or improved with an "Update CD."
While looking for an aftermarket NAV system to replace the crappy Honda system, I ran across this company: http://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN-China.html
They are basically wholesale (probably where Honda gets their NAV system) but do sell indivually on some equipment. They have literally hundreds of NAV systems that all appear to be better than the one in my 2011 Honda CRV. I think that may be because the one Honda put in my car was a model they couldn't sell in 2008 and technology on all such equipment is much improved now. Anyway, they sell units made specifically for the CRV and, even with shipping from China, they're about 1/3rd what we paid for the Honda CRV. Be advised, however, if you replace the factory equipped NAV, the warranty is violated. I can't vouch for the quality of their stuff but I do see this company in a lot of literature about big wholesale sellers in China. (I wound up not buying a replacement NAV since I use my Garmin or phone to navigate and most of the other features on the Honda NAV are OK.)0
lucasm1 Posts: 1How do you turn off the navigation system?0
justtryhere Posts: 1I currently have a 2011 CR-V with Navigation. The Navigation does not state whether it is giving you the fastest route. The only possible option is "Direct Route" (other options being minimize/maximize freeways, etc.). Is that comparable to "Fastest/Quickest Route" as you see on Garmins, built in to the Rav4, etc.?
I am asking this question because I am looking to trade in my car for a 2013 CR-V but want to be comfortable with the Navigation before doing so.
Thanks in advance0
rayofvictory Posts: 3If you didn't trade in yet, you might as well go for a 2014 model in the coming months since Honda isn't bothered to upgrade the Nav yet!0
mhurwitz Posts: 1Is there any way to turn off the voice only navigation requirement when the vehicle is moving?0
I can't figure out how to turn off that "feature." The nav thinks it's being safe by requiring us to use the voice commands instead of pressing the buttons but you still have to look at the screen to see where the command you want is located.
I have a 2013 with this nonsense. It wasn't part of my 2010 so Honda added this but still hasn't give us Homelink.0
sewlds Posts: 1I purchased a 2008 Honda CRV...If I want to go shopping, and request for example the nearest Walmart. It sends me 1300 miles from home. Even though I have my home address in, and there are 4 walmarts within 10 miles of my home???0
rossgu77 Posts: 1I have researched the Honda CRV Navigation system beginning in 2011.
First, and probably no surprise, it is one of the worst available . After paying the price equivalent to a new Garmin with actual advanced features,8 I shelled out their special discount price of $100. I am a former CIO WITH VAST RESOURCES & contacts. Not one of the 2 year changes to our interstates was any different. Moreover, any upgrade must disclose exactly what has been upgraded. Honda did not have that info. I then took both the original and the update CD. I used a gov't program to compare both software and data. No software change of any significance, and the only change as I remember, was either in Montana or Alaska, however nothing anywhere near where I would be driving on the East Coast. Honda blamed Navtek who provides the yearly raw data to Honda where it can be accidentally changed because the file was not read only. I used my resources and contacted the development/IT section of Navtek. They reported on any upgrade , the data is 2-3 years behind.
In essense, what I paid for was a duplicate of what I had with the version changed to reflect the current year.
The upgrade comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, however, Honda reported that since the system now displayed the version change and year, that the original version was not backwards compatible and would need taken to my Honda Dealer. In addition they could not guarantee a service charge for backdating the nav system.
A few anomolies:
When searching for a known place, the system using GPS has my location, (the basis of any default search parameters. If if am within a few miles of the location but don't have the specific city or zip, the GPS provides any location beginning with those closest to me, just like every other Nav unit for the last decade. BUT NOT THE HONDA PIECE OF &[email protected] It begins listing locations in California, Phoenix etc. Again this an annoying bug to add to the other 25 egregious issues which make it only useful if all the name, address, and city is available. My technicians report the location from the GPS, nor the State listed have any bearing. It performs a nationwide search. The constant mailed ads are nothing short of an Internet Scam, and while slow, the FTC and I
Maybe it's because I'm old school but why the need for Navigation system?It's a fact that the more high tech gizmos the more problems. I've been driving across this country for over 50 years and a good map is all anybody needs.0
I'm old school and have driven all over too (my first traffic stop was 48 years ago), and I love my nav. Not giving it back. Saves a lot of time and gas and frustration.
You can keep your carbs too.0
Thank you rossgu77. I purchased an update two years ago because of a new highway but it wasn't included in the updated. I complained and my money was refunded. As for one of those anomalies: agreed! I was once blocks away from a local restaurant (Maryland) but couldn't find it so I typed in the name and was given a restaurant by the same name in Arizona!0
It appears these NAV systems are not reliable for a lot of people. Give me a good map anyday. There's no wasting gas, no frustration.0
Took my Garmin to California last week and used it to get around San Diego in the rental car. In the dark. No pulling over in odd spots and trying to find the interior light switch so I could find the street the restaurant was on (my Garmin had the restaurant listed as a POI. Just punch it and go).0

Please let me know if any info surfaces on the 2013 navigation. I am holding off a few weeks before I make a decision on 2014 Awd with nav. I test drove one. I was hoping they had blind spot warning as does the rav4. There is a blind spot on passanger's back window. If navigation is bad, I will get something else. If I am paying 30k I want it to be right. Thanks
mayurj Posts: 62014 CR-V W/Navi
On reading the owner manuals i read that when the ambient light sensor detects less light, it turns on the headlamps when switch set to Auto and also switches the Navigation background to whatever is configured as Night mode in the Nav system. Turns out that my Navigation never switches automatically and has to be switched manually to Night mode. has any one observed a similar problem? Am i misinterpreting the feature altogether and is it not supposed to switch to night mode automatically? Please advise if anyone has any experience.0

i would say it is a paramicia type because most machines are made of multiple elements.

again if it were possible create a hybrid-type fruit through some scientific or magical means one could bypass a weakness like this through the powers of the second parent fruit. And when i say hybrid-type i mean the results of cross-breeding two different fruits to create a third more powerful fruit.
as for the wax wax fruit used by Mr. 3 the resson for it not being a logia type is not only that he cannot become wax but also because it allows him to generate a small amount of flame thus the resson he is called a candle-man not a wax-man
this is also a way to define logia types as they are only able to pruduce one element not two

to go with my previous entry on hybrid-type theory i will now create one i will call it
shadows of darkness fruit
dark ability- produce, control, manipulate, and become darkness
dark ability- control gravity created by the darkness
the darkness absorbs almost anything (targets determined by user)
dark ability- suck out devil fruit user powers
hybrid ability - make darkness tangible
shadow ability- make shadows tangible
shadow ability- control, manipulate shadows
shadow ability- switch with your shadow
hybrid ability- dark dimension
the dark dimension is dark world created through the devil fruits power and contained within the user only the user may access this world the user may also trap others in the dark dimension were their strength and power is robbed from them until released.
this one is mine.
oh no the marines are coming, destroys all evidence of tests, ha ha oh no i forgot something.
pros of this fruit:
can create a tangible wall of darkness to block attacks
can create a tangible weapon of darkness that does not cut/crush/pierce but instead absorbs leaving perfectly smooth slashes/holes.
tangible darkness can stop almost everything allowing it to be absorbed
cons of this fruit:
can't swim.
can't fly.
can't walk on water.
seastone (weapons) can block weapons and pierce wall made of darkness.
will injured if caught off guard
as listed below.
pros of hybrid fruits:
speaks for its self
cons of hybrid fruits:
cannot cross-breed two logia types
power is addicting
can lead to extreme violence, greed, and genocide
may cause paranoia.

New- shadow infection
shadow infection infects a persons shadow with a virus created in the dark dimension the virus then spreads from the shadow to the body turning the person/persons into willing slaves ingesting salt cures the virus.
virus is non-contagious

The Best of the Best.
Apart from that, I'm not exactly sure why you quoted me before you went into details on a completely orginal, and non-cannon supported idea. (Your hybrid fruit theory)
More importantly, Doru Doru fruit is not Wax Wax, but Candle Candle. So it's not illegal for him to be able to generate a small flame. Again, I'm not very sure why you quoted me...
Then you claim I seemed to forget Yami Yami no Mi...when my post was only meant to lay down the ground rules for qualifying a Logia Fruit. Yami Yami is the only fruit that is an exception to the 'user can turn into his element' rule, and Ace kindly pointed that out, by asking why Teach's fruit couldn't allow him to element change.
In laying out ground rules for Logia qualification...why would I find it necessary to mention the only exception to the rule?
All in all, though, apart from the fact that by quadruple posting, you raised my hopes for reading lots of new posts, and then shattered them, and then quoted yourself four times, and replied to yourself, no less, and then proceeded to needlessly 'correct' my post, I like your 'Hybrid' idea, though. It was engaging.
Although one must consider the law of two fruits not being to live in the same body, and wonder if this hybrid stuff wouldn't just cause bodily decay or cumbustion like eating two fruits would.
Note that the devil within the fruit gives the power, and so in order for a 'hybrid' fruit to gain two or more powers, there would have to the respective devil from each individual fruit in the hybrid.
In other words, there would be two devils in the fruit. If it doesn't explode before it's eaten, it'll probably do so afterwards.
Aiya...I'm thinking too hard...

on another note thank you for you have expressed that you at least like the theory even though it may not be possible and if possible may hold consequences greater than i could imagine you are right on all your points as for the multiple posts and their edits i am sorry i am a story writer i meant no offence it is in my nature. as for were i quoted you, your right it should instead read that not all logia types allow attacks to pass threw as their elements are either solid our consuming in nature examples of this trait are seen in the hie hie fruit which allows its user to turn into ice (solid), and the yami yami fruit whose user turns into darkness (consuming). your also right about doru meaning candle not wax but i am also right in saying that it is not a logia type because it produces two elements not one.
once again thank you and I'm sorry for disappointing you.

He 'Returned' every injury his opponent ever sustained,'Returned' Himself to peak Condition after taking serious Damage and 'Returned the space of his opponents Footing to before it was there causing him to fall.Oh but he didn't return his ammunition on a weapon, cause he used a sword.
He returned and ancient temple to the way it was so he could try and fuse with the Freaking King Of OBLIVION "Endless!".
There was an Acid guy who shouldn't have turned into a liquid at terminal velocity, He scattered everywhere.
A guy who could bend thing's like a bridge or someone's bone's, but couldn't ben this one guy's weapon.
Wow, Rave master had a lot of really Vague and creative power's, and so doe's most stuff huh.
I got some fruit Idea's Myself, Might Put into Fan fiction as OC's so yeah.
This one sounds freaky I know but here me out.
Tentacle Tentacle Fruit( Ugh I know but here's where I explain it)Paramicia
The Power Of Redistribution and Propagation.(Moving the cell's in his body from one point/shape to another)
Replaceable vital organ's,If his heart is stabbed he can form another form surrounding cells.
Moving all the muscle cells in body to one limb like an Arm.
Move cells and shape them, like squeezing into small area's.
Possibly splitting into multiple people, but Is really just dividing self so lower intellegnce depending on how many time's split.
Greater Cell Regeneration and durability.
Can bend and stretch limb's/Not elastic and not good for distance attacks.
Move's the cells around while exercising and get a full body workout, even the brain.
Not infinite number of cells, is possible to run low mid fight.
Growing new cells to replace old is too long.
Moving strength from one area is leaving that area weaker.
Special ways to use power
Pull self together and compress so the shacking of the body creates a natural Tekkai. Plus using an ordinary tekkai while doing this tekkai10x10/ downside
no matter how strong he becomes 15x15 would blow the Limb completely off!
Earth Earth fruit.Logia.
Earth power's
Control earth beneath you, you can hear and see as far as the Dirt and Stone stretch's.
Keep pulling earth around you compressing Stronger stuff.
Turn into a giant Rock Monster!
Bring precious mineral's to the surface.
Hide behind a thousand ton's of rock and control power's from afar.
All logia fruits have an single thing that make's them unable to use their power's aside from the ocean, this one's is you must be touching earth,no control at all if knocked into the air and off the ground.Unless you pocket a handful of the stuff.
(insect Zoans)
Roach Roach Fruit.
generic Logia fact's
SWARM-Separate into a Large number of insect's!

how would a devils fruit that changes a concept work? as most concepts are only recognisable by man. would it still be able to affect something that doesn't recognize that particular concept? example: jewelry Bonnie's age manipulation which apparently works only on living things.

well these are some of my last ideas for somewhat useful devils fruit
forest forest fruit
allows you to produce and shape neer limitless amounts of trees/wood
cons:can't swim, non-logia type
sakura sakura fruit
allows you to produce and manipulate thousands of small cherry blossom like blades.
pros:highly entertaining
cons:can't swim, non-logia type
barrier barrier fruit version reject
allows you to create barriers that can reject anything or concept from reality. doctors will find this more useful then warriors as it can be used to reject the concept of injury or illness.
pros:as stated above.
cons:can't swim, barriers can be broken from the non-rejecting side
all of these should be available

bitch-slap fruit
-ability to bitch slap anyone within 10 meters of you at the speed of sound.
-/Once the person gets in radius, it is like time slows down for you but you can still move fast.
-Keeps pimp hand strong
-Opponent gets demoralized.
-When moving against people the speed of sound, you can keep up.
-cannot use any sort of weapon for this attack.
-cannot use a closed fist
-attack MUST be to the face
-may have some recoil damage if pimp hand is not well kept up.
-If wearing gloves, must take them off.
-If the person moves faster than the speed of sound, many do, then you simply slap them as they are not inflicted as much.

what about hydrogen/ or some other gas fruit?
2 versions, 1 logia and the other permecian(sp)
obviously ability to tranform into hydrogen (whatever state).
normal logia properties, except being able to cause massive explosions (hydrogen bomb), freeze things (low temperature at liquid state), maybe being able to create an oxygen vaccuum by reacting to oxygen in the air around some one.
cons would be the normal logia cons I guess.
Ability to manpulate hydrogen atoms.
meaning that you can kill any one by extracting the water from them or jsut denaturing their proteins.
ability to cuase explosion due to explosion of hydrogen.
cons would be that there is no improvement in your own physical abilities and you don't get protection from explosions nearby you.

Fit through narrow space's.
cut through object's with bladed parts.
Flexible and foldable when this.
Not as sharp as most blade's.
edge's may be sharp but the is just as vulnerable.

I just saw this on a science news site they have proved that "dark energy" exists and that it is the force of nothingness which is causing the universe to expand faster. apparently darkness is not just gravity who would of thought.

A couple of outstanding Ping Pong-related links on the ZX Spectrum Games blog that I've been meaning to post for a while.
The first is an interview that I did with those guys via email. It might not be too interesting and, reading it back, I could have gone on for a lot longer (which won't be surprising to those who know me ) but if I had to pick out the most important bit, it would be this ....
"But I would definitely say my entire career grew out of those Spectrum
experiences and those skills have been remarkably resilient to different
systems, applications and new things I need to take on. I wish there
were a few more games programmers around because the business apps world
might be a lot better!"
I keep meaning to blog about that.
Hopefully the fact that I agreed to the interview and eventually got around to it (sorry, guys!) wasn't the reason for the good review of Ping Pong

Tory Burch Rain Boots/Booties Size US 6 Regular (M, B),
MILFORD — With the next state election looming in the fall, a number of Democratic candidates made their pitch to local party members Sunday, touting their backgrounds and visions for Massachusetts.
The Milford Democratic Town Committee hosted a candidate brunch at The Crystal Room on Cedar Street, inviting candidates vying for county and statewide offices to introduce themselves to the audience.
The committee also honored John Fernandes, who retired from the House last year after serving as state representative for the 10th Worcester District from 2007 to 2016.
In the race for governor, Democrats may choose between three or more candidates to challenge Republican Charlie Baker, who is finishing his first term in office. Candidates seized on the opportunity Sunday to round up signatures and build support among party loyalists, many of whom will attend the party's convention this summer.
Democrats who collect enough signatures will face their next test on the weekend of June 1, when delegates from around the state will assemble at the DCU Center in Worcester. Under the party's rules, Democratic candidates must receive at least 15 percent of the vote at the state convention to qualify for a spot on the ballot in the primaries. The top vote-getter will receive the party's endorsement, and his or her name will appear in the top stop on the primary ballot, along with a message noting the party's endorsement.
Among those hoping to unseat Baker are former Newton Mayor Setti Warren; Jay Gonzalez, who served as Secretary of Administration and Finance under Gov. Deval Patrick; and Somerville activist Bob Massie, who also ran for U.S. Senate in 2011.
Speaking at Sunday's event, Massie challenged the notion that the state's economy has rebounded, saying many residents are stuck in low-paying jobs and struggling to afford housing, health care and education.
"That's an upside-down economy," he said, "and we see it all over the state."
State Auditor Suzanne Bump, finishing her seventh year in office, briefly outlined her vision for the auditor's office, calling herself the state's "chief accountability officer." Bump, who will seek her third four-year term in the fall, said the underlying theme of the auditor's work is to build trust in government by holding state agencies accountable.
That mission sometimes generates headlines people don't want to see, Bump said — particularly when her office uncovers misspent resources, or agencies falling short of their responsibilities.
"The reality is ... that we have to show, if we want people to believe in government, that government is capable of self-examination and self-correction," she said, "and that's how you build trust in government."
Other speakers included a representative from Warren's gubernatorial campaign; Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early; attorney Katie Toomey, who is running for register of deeds for Worcester County; and Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim, who is mounting a primary challenge against longtime Democratic Secretary of State William Galvin.
Zakim, who was elected to the Boston City Council in 2013, said he would work to improve public access to government records — one of the secretary of state's primary jobs — and be proactive in supporting victims of financial scams. Zakim, who represents the Boston neighborhoods of Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Kenmore Square, Mission Hill, Audubon Circle, and the West End, said he would also increase access to the ballot through initiatives such as same-day voter registration and easier absentee voting for people who are at work or at school on election day.
"We can and we should be a leader on this," he said.
Worcester lawyer Paul DePalo also spoke about his candidacy for the Seventh District Governor's Council seat, which is held by Republican Jennie L. Caissie. DePalo said he would bring "Democratic values" to the council, promoting civil rights, collective bargaining and access to reproductive health.
DePalo, who previously taught at an alternative school in Uxbridge, said he would also promote criminal justice reform, and push for more "regional equity" among judges, with greater representation for central Massachusetts on the bench.
Calling Caissie — who was elected in 2010 — a "Republican Tea Party incumbent," DePalo said he plans to be visible in the district explaining the council's role in state government, which includes overseeing judicial nominees.
"The energy down here is amazing," he said, "and I am looking forward to working with the incredible slate of candidates that we have to turn Blackstone Valley blue as well."

27 November 2012
In the last issue, we took at look at some of the steps involved in putting together the entertainment system in our Project iQ. Now it's time to look into keeping the car safe and comfortable. We contacted Clarion Canada (distributors of Clifford, Xpresskit and SmartStart remote starter, security and convenience products), who set us up with their flagship Clifford 590.2X remote start and security system. The 590.2X features a full colour OLED two-way transmitter that is easy to use thanks to intuitive menus and graphical icons, and uses Spread Spectrum Technology to provide two-way communication up to one mile. The remote features a long-lasting lithium polymer battery that can be charged using any mini-USB wall or car charger, making it very convenient at home or on-the-go.
We took the iQ back to Frankie at 20Hz Audio Sound & Security to have the system installed. It's a bit tricky to show you every step of the installation, but here are the basics you need to know...
The lower panel of the dash, ready to be removed.
Driver's side sill plate being removed.
Driver's side kick panel coming out.
Power, ground, illumination and door pin wires connected, ready to go to the brain of the Clifford 590.2X.
Frankie looks for a good spot to mount the brain of the 590.2X.
The brain in place, ready to be secured with zip ties to the factory wire-harness.
Door seals and A-pillar being removed to run the antenna wire to the top of the windshield.
The two-way antenna with the integrated control button is placed inconspicuously above the rear view mirror.
Finding a location for the siren under the hood.
The compact siren is mounted out of the way so the car can be easily serviced.
The hood pin in place. This ensures the car will not start accidentally when it is being serviced. For added security, an alarm will sound if the hood is opened.
Testing the system – ready to go!

Down & UP in the Magic Kingdom!September 13th, 2013 — Michael G. Cayley
Put this in the quirky memetic banter file …
So here is the clan, Thomson 9, Sydney 7, Sister Paula, my Dad and wife Andrea on the mandatory pilgrimage to Disney World in Florida.
You can see the whole album here: https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/111927785652617267633/albums/58538080096…
It was fun. I can't help it.
But for those of you who share a uneasy awareness that Disney owns not only a place in our childhood life cycle, but also a place in our parent's life cycle (this was a trip on Grandpa's bucket list!) … here are a few tid bits that may entertain you in a quirky kind of way:
Highlight of the trip for me was reading Cory Doctrow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom while staying in the Park: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_the_Magic_Kingdom
This might make me a terrible Dad, but this "fantasy destroying" moment made me proud of my children. Watch as we realize that they are being shunned by Minnie mouse! My son is embarrassed that we should have been more socially aware. Sydney makes the decision that the line up is not worth it. https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/111927785652617267633/albums/58538080096…
And finally, Walt Disney believed in a big canvass! Shaping hundreds of acres, materials and our common perception to his vision. He changed the world. I hope that you find it refreshing to realize that there is always a bigger canvass.
Context for this shot, we are stuffing our faces with ice cream, in a mecca of consumerism that is Downtown Disney: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney/. Veal calves.
The big brand bonanza, including LEGO land, is "disrupted" –
Have a great weekend everyone!

Photos of Tenn-Renn
Despite a rainy weather forecast, the kids and I went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival ("Tenn-Renn") on Saturday. We arrived about 10:00 AM, and it didn't start raining until about 3:00 PM, so we had a good bit of time to enjoy the sights, shows, and shopping.
Keely, Taurus, and I wore garb that was more or less historically correct for the medieval period. Isaac wore shorts and a T-shirt -- smart move! When the sun finally burst through a lingering fog, the day became very hot and humid. I began to overheat inside my long skirt. I even thought about hitching it up and tucking it into my belt! I like to dress up, but I don't like to swelter.
The Renn Faire didn't seem as busy as it has been other years. Perhaps it was because of the weather forecast, or perhaps it was because people in the Nashville area are still busy with flood cleanup.
The Bag Lady and Looney Lucy both seemed to be missing this year. I hope that the ladies are doing well, wherever they are. We also didn't see the Queen, but that was our own fault. We were attending shows when she walked through the village to the knighting ceremony she conducted and we left before she held court.
Here are some of the photos I took:
|Seller of knives
In the afternoon, we begam to hear thunder in the distance. Then, as we were visiting the tent of Thomas the Lapidary, light rain began to fall. The Queen was going to hold court in the arena in just a few minutes, but we decided to head for the car. We were well-sprinkled, but not completely saturated when we piled inside and drove out of the parking lot. Within the next few minutes, heavy rain poured down, so we were glad that we left when we did.

Here I am again. Tomorrow my DD is 10 wks. I'll begin by saying she is sup healthy at 10.4 lbs (born at 5#13oz and dropped to 5#6oz in week 2 before weight started to climb). Lots of diapers, a rare green poop, otherwise normal yellow/brown and lots of pee. I feel like a nursing superhero with that weight gain. Very proud. I'm back at work in a week and a half and my worries are back as she's really no less fussy, even worse maybe than 2 weeks ago. Nursing can be anything from smooth sailing to a battle of head twisting, unlatching 100 times, scratching, kicking, crying, arching, kicking, trying to stand if her feet can make contact. I know all this can cause air intake, which can create a vicious cycle if there's a gas/reflux issue
But the question is why the fuss? Gas? Reflux? OALD? Flow just fast due to normal cycle of let down? Flow frustratingly slow/too much work? Congestion annoyance? Frustration at difference between breast and bottle (we still only do occasional bottle in prep for when I'm at work. This will increase, more on that below). Growth spurt? How the heck do you ever really know? If the crying goes to screeching that's the only time I'm sure of something: pain and that's acid or gas or both. Ped has me doing a Mylanta test (short term only) when she screeches suddenly while nursing. I'm also doing what I can. Nursing upright. Keeping her upright after. Not jostling. Etc. I honestly can't tell if the Mylanta test worked. Early this week we had a couple nights of long crying episodes with pain. I did a ton of diet eliminations: nuts, cruciferous veg, nightshades and citrus. I was already Paleo (since 2011)/non dairy (since 1997), no caffeine no alcohol. Now we just have evening fussies but I've been able to combat long evening cries and screeching. Is it me and my changes? Am I getting better at soothing? Was it the Mylanta? Not being sure what was effective is as frustrating as not knowing what was wrong. If Mylanta works Ped wants to go to Rx Zantac. I feel results are inconclusive.
Last night we slept 9P to 2A (yay!) But 2A to 5A was a 3 hour nursing marathon w/amix of everything I listed above except pain screeches. We dozed some after 4.This is pretty common right now. Again how does anyone ever know the cause(s). We did another bottle test yesterday that went poorly? Related? Irrelevant? I don't know, that's next.
The bottle tests are occasional. The first nipple flow was too fast, but DH was successful in feeding her a couple times in past 2.5 weeks. Problem is she wants more and he now knows not to overfeed. I wanted to test a slower flow nipple, which she couldn't seem to work. Yesterday this resulted in an hour of DH battling the crying baby. Now normally I leave the house during bottle test but I confess I hid out upstairs. That crying never stopped and finally I went down and took her and simply said - let me help. I walked and rocked her for 1/2 hour. She whined and snuffled the whole time and finally passed out. So if I let the faster flow nipple continue and she's bottle fed throughout my workday, might this result in her started to perceive mom's boobs are too much work? On the flip side she's still a nurse all day kid and I dread how long it might take to get into a rhythm while I'm gone every day (looks like we're going to go with an in home nanny. No other licensed care option would accommodate cloth diapers and I'm not willing to switch to disposable. So much for this green society we supposedly live in.)
I had hoped as we approached the 12 week mark the magic would start to happen. But I also knew there was no guarantee. Even now as I'm nursing her, her whole body is moving and thrashing. She screeched in pain. It went on so I did 2 CCs of Mylanta. It stopped, but fussing continues on and off, going from wild to sleepy. Did the Mylanta work? I switched sides. Better but still wild to sleepy and back. Argh. I'm not sure I'm even looking for anything from the forum beyond some 'I've been exactly where you are' replies.

Shawnee will likely see a new pool in 2014, according to Pool Advisory Committee officials.
Shawnee will likely see a new pool in 2014, according to Pool Advisory Committee officials.
Director of Operations James Bryce said the committee has begun negotiating with a selected architect, but declined to say which architect.
Bryce added that he expects the committee to have a recommendation before the Shawnee City Commission before the end of the year.
Initially, more than 10 companies contacted the committee about the pool renovation. The committee interviewed four architects, and has since narrowed it down to one company, Chairman John Ayers said.
Ayers said the committee is waiting on word from city officials as to what the next move should be.
He added that, while he expects the recommendation to the city commission to come before the end of the year, it could be sooner.
"We're kind of ahead of schedule," Ayers said.
The renovation is budgeted for $3 million. This is to include renovation of the pool, which could include replacing the shell if the architect deems it necessary, renovation of the pool house, and a splash park, as well as additional parking and improved lighting for the park area.
The location of the splash park will be decided at a later date, Ayers said.
Ayers said he doesn't know if the pool will need an entirely new shell or not.
"We won't know until the architect goes in," he said. "It's just a question of how much of the existing shell we can use, and we don't know yet."
The committee has received some community feedback about the pool house, Ayers said.
"We've had interest in the community to keep it just for the historical aspect," he said.
Construction is anticipated to begin in early spring 2013. The pool will likely remain closed during 2013, during construction.
Construction is planned to be finished around spring 2014.

SKF offers new Lincoln PMV runaway controller
2014 March 04, 17:00 CET
Gothenburg, 4, March 2014: SKF today announced the introduction of the Lincoln PMV runaway controller. Compatible with all Lincoln PMV pumps, the controller shuts off the pump and signals an alarm if the pump exceeds a preset cycle rate.
Designed to prevent pump damage due to high runaway speeds if the lube drum or tank is depleted, the unit also limits spills if a broken hose or line leak causes the pump to cycle at a high rate. Easy to install and simple to use, the fully electronic controller operates independently of air supply volume and pressure. In addition, the unit can be connected to an external monitor or alarm.

New Drugs Zap Tumors Via Immune System
Major drug companies are developing immunotherapy drugs that work by unleashing the body's immune system to enable it to recognize and attack cancer cells. Ron Winslow reports on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty Images.

Internet Access: Government Intervention or Private Innovation?
The Internet has transformed our way of life; and new "broadband" technologies promise even greater benefits through high-speed Internet access and communications. Unfortunately, because major cable companies currently have the capacity to provide this technology to their clients, other Internet service providers (ISPs) are crying foul. They are calling the cable companies' "head start" unfair and forming alliances to get the government to force cable companies to make their high-speed broadband lines available for use by all ISPs on equal terms. This study explains why this government intervention would be a terrible idea. It analyzes market trends and technological possibilities to show that "forced access" would significantly increase costs for consumers with no benefit to show for the added expense. The study concludes that "forced access" would stifle the innovation that naturally emerges from the free play of market forces. It shows why government should not only refrain from interfering with broadband technology, but should allow competition between local cable providers in order to maximize the potential of this exciting new technology.

anyone else thrown off by the oakland win total of 72? They lose Cahil, Gonzalez, and Bailey and they only are expected to lose 2 fewer games?
Keep in mind, Oakland had a winning record in 2011 against the Angels which I don't think happens this year. I'm on the Under.
Man you're seriously underrating the Jays.
There roster is EASILY better then the one they put out last season in which they finished 81-81. They have a full season of Brett Lawrie vs the scrub called Jason Nix. Cecil has lost 30lbs and in the best shape of his life. Rasmus can really not play any worse then he did when he got to the Jays. The Bullpens is massively upgraded and last season they blew more games then any team in the league. Can you explain to me why you think they're going to take a dip record wise?
Anything can happen but imo there roster is WAY too talented to finish five games under .500. Theres a much better chance they finish 5 games over then 5 games under.
Jays are a solid squad. Just think theyre division is so tough. Their division is the reason for the low total, not their talent
Originally Posted by jacksup: 416bet, I like the way you think. Interesting points. Will have to look further into the Oakland under. Any other leans?
Definitley will hit up some others, just crunching some numbers and doing some research first.

In and of itself, in a complete and total void, this episode has all the qualities to be good: it was entertaining, it had great action and production budget, the characters rallying together to beat the common big bad, the hero saving the princess, the rival supporting the hero. But... when you strip away the black drapes and put in context with the rest of the show, it's kind of hollow. This was like a salvaging attempt and while it was good within itself it just doesn't really do anything on the whole and it does come off as rushed.
Kagura in this episode is a different character from Kagura in the last episode or any other for that matter. Its a different person entirely: he's suddenly not completely single-minded, he's suddenly supportive, he's suddenly ok with giving up when MINUTES before (in universe time) he was willing to watch Altair fall to pieces rather than give up, but... he's, once again, a plot device. And that summarizes his character or lack thereof, he's so inconsequential that his entire character motif can and was flipped on its head just to *round off* a loose end and the plot.
Zessica is... a mess. There's not even a conclusion to her character, she's just left in a state of *unrequited love* and the show makes no effort to try and change this, explain it (why was it necessary in the first place), or do much of anything with it. It was, much like Kagura, a plot device for Mykage's ascension that was dropped the moment it stopped being relevant. In one minute, she went from not having appeared for two episodes and broken down completely, to Mykage somehow being inconvenienced by Kagura being... there, somehow. And so Mykage, much like the plot, dumped her out of the Aquarion. What an unceremonious conclusion, and you would have thought after all the hulabaloo of turning her body into a makeshift-him... something more would have happened.
In fact, many, many things were just left in the air or dropped entirely after being the *plot device for the moment*.

Great episode but I feel there a few unresolved issues with Kagura and Zessica.
But on the plus side I got to see what Mikono looks like with her hair down .
She looks better like that.
Well that opinion.
Who else thinks she looks better with hair like that?

Vena: I wonder how long it'll be before people start spouting the theory that once the first volume sales data started to come in they abandoned the "deconstruction"/"troll" ending they had planned for this ending...for reasons we'll never know? Something analogous to the fan theory that they made a last-minute decision to remove a definitive romantic end to Frontier's triangle in order to maintain interest in the movies?
Not that I believe it, and not that it's even exactly analogous, but just saying...seems like a fan theory people could get behind, maybe.
I'm sticking to the theory that "no one involved at the directorial / senior-planning level even really cared that much, so different chunks reflect the different involved authors'/storyboarders'/etc. biases without a unifying vision to curtail that editorializing".
Thess: I know later on it doesn't work like that. It's just that, at that point, her power was a bit vague, and in some of the earlier episodes, Zessica's written almost to a T to be the girl whose love leads her to a bad place (all those shots of her with darkened eyes, all those shots of her overlooking the happy quasi-couple and simmering). So I'm just speculating there was some conceptual drift in terms of Zessica's role in the story that lead it to become the mess it wound up being, and if so if she started out as conceived with an arc more along those lines....which mostly, but not entirely, got abandoned (or at least was done poorly enough to be unrecognizable as such)...and probably wouldn't work that well if they'd stuck to it.

I honestly think that they were simply inept. All of them. When the creative mind behind the show (Kawamori) has to come out and explain to you that many people have misconstrued his main heroine, something is amiss somewhere in production. Either your writers are incompetent or the creative mind is an idiot, or both. They threw in whatever they thought was *cool* and *poignant* never wondering how the pieces came together, like throwing lego blocks at a pile of lego blocks and expecting a building to form.
Just look at Mykage's defeat: a heart. That's all it took. Amata just had to shout and Kagura needed to be some other person all of a sudden, and bam! Mykage has been defeated by a heart (Fudo did nothing). All of the world's problems? Robot tears. Why couldn't the robot cry in Genesis and have this mess never occur? Who the hell knows. They introduced thing that were *cool* but that make no sense in the grander continuity.
And Mikono? I remember when her being a person and making decisions was important. I also remember when Jin was alive and Yunoha wasn't a broken record. Somewhere along the way, though, Jin died and so did the show. And, in the end, I have no explanation as to why Mikono set out on her journey in Ep. 19 without confessing aside from because the ending wouldn't have been as magical. Its onerous, in retrospect, how they tell you *here it is* but prevent the characters from doing anything, making the characters look worse for the sake of some carebear attack in the last episode.

Another complain : horrible sexism. Horrible.
Mikono didn't even made a decision, she was just a fucking prize for the MC to claim. What about her feelings ? No one gives a shit because it's not important : "she's just a girl" (ditto Amata is episode 1).
And of course she has to be made a completetelly useless DID to the very end.

Vena: I find fan theories interesting insofar as the ones that become popular tend to encapsulate interesting aspects of audience reaction to a production that typically can't be expressed much more concisely than as, well, silly fan theories without much grounding in reality. Not a big advocator or believer in them personally, but as a fan of all kinds of folklore I find them interesting.
If you really want to start a fan theory:
Spoiler for Just pointing this out...:
Moving on: Mykage's "defeat" is actually one of the few moments that seemed perfectly right to me...a villain like that can't really be "beaten" so much as "humiliated" or "forced to lose dignity", and that defeat delivered on that tactic in spades. The whole sequence just makes me laugh so much. I don't mind stuff like robot tears healing the planets because by the time you have planets colliding and breaking apart it's going to be some kind of magic ending anyways, and robot tears are at least goofy enough to make me chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
And Kawamori's interview? Based on what he had to say and how things wound up turning out, I can only conclude that the man either didn't care, isn't all there anymore, or is someone like Lucas (someone whose good instincts are drowned out by his bad instincts unless he's kept on a tight leash, which he hasn't been for awhile...).
And yeah, Mikono in the finale? I stick with the "each writer / story-boarder had a pretty free hand to put their own spin on the episodes they worked on as long as they hit the key plot points the big outline required. Wasn't this another Okada episode? It sure felt like it, because whenever she's writing she goes out of her way to deprive Mikono of agency, usefulness, and all that...and there's no one who cares enough to stop her, apparently, or even keep it consistent from week to week.

NOW! For the OVA
*realizes that there is no longer anything to watch*
anyone have any suggestions???
And did that trailer at the end look like an Aquarion movie to you?
(unless its another 12,000 yrs into the future of 24,000 yrs into the past)
by good I meant only one death
Hey, does anyone know if the light novel/manga has a alternate ending?

Watched the RAW. As I said, since I'm a sucker for happy ending, this end is really nice, I like it. Ancient's Buddha palms, Crea joins the fight, Geparda, 4 original casts cameo, Donar and Suomi gets together (I wonder what Suomi whispered to him ), Zessica's back to her bright personality, Kagura's helping (though yeah, why the sudden change? o.O), Zessica and Kagura interaction, Andy & Mix finally together (granted it's not really mixed gattai for Andy but he finally did it with Mix; and her big bang is back too, I assume it's the miracle of LOVE's tears too? ), and of course the main pair finally together, plus it's kinda happy end for Mykage too since he finally finds his warmth inside Fudonius's body...... and Bag-tan without her bag!
I'll just take it that Zessica's sad face on the group photo is because she was worry Amata and Mikono haven't back yet, since when she saw LOVE with them are back she's smiling again XP
So despite all the WTF-ness and its flaws, EVOL still manages to entertain me. Probably won't rewatch it anytime soon but at the very least, I'll keep listen to Kimi no Shinwa and Eve no Danpen
By the way I always laugh everytime Amata shouts "MIKONO-SAAAAN" this episode XD At least Mikono respond with her "AMATA-KUUUN", and Mykage joins the fun with "Apollonius, Apollonius, Apollonius, APOLLONIUUUUUUS" too

Our laboratory is interested in developing/acquiring a subsea pressure housing for a laser-based (520 nm) polarimetric instrument that is currently under development. This instrument will be mounted on an ARGO-type float and deployed in subsea arctic environments. As an essential requirement, it must have a viewport on the upper end cap (facing the sea surface) and a bulk-head connector in the lower end cap (facing the sea bottom). Further characteristics are listed below:
- Cylindrical shape
- Packaging diameter <= 100 mm.
- Internal diameter >= 70 mm.
- Packaging length <= 200 mm.
- Material: Plastic preferred
- Weight in water <= 500 gr.
- Operating depth <= 2000 m.
- Number of connectors = 1 (MCIBH/4 Teledyne)
- Special needs: 1 end cap with a viewport for laser applications. Viewport material: sapphire, glass, borosilicate.
- Internal chassis: Laser circuit and logic circuit mounts.
So far, we have requested quotes from specialized companies in marine technology. Now, we would like to reach other research or operational centres/laboratories that may have developed or acquired a similar housing that could advise us on this matter. Leasing or borrowing may be a possibility but we prefer a final solution. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information. Thank you for your time. Best regards.

I think the key is what is your goal?
If you want to learn I would recommend OpenBSD as the documentation to install, configure and populate with applications is concise and up to date
Slackware is in many ways similar although I do not think the documentation is as good. Slackware has the advantage that all software (not just the base system) has security updates
OpenBSD used to have security updates for secondary packages but this was too much given the number of platforms supported by OpenBSD.
In my opinion PC-BSD is the BSD equivalent of SimplyMepis. You are likely to get a working KDE desktop but you will not lean much about BSD unix in the process.

Most of it is fairly typical unix stuff. Different branches in the family tree and extended cousintry have silghtly different ways of doing things: compare FreeBSD, BSD, and System V style init systems.
The problem with PC-BSD from that perspective, is if you treat managing the system like a FreeBSD system: you will create more work for yourself. Avoiding that, tends to require knowing both the FreeBSD and PC-BSD portions. You can however learn the FreeBSD side of things from PC-BSD, just be careful what you dick with and note or backup important changes.

Virtual-machines need to come out of a box ready to run other than stealing all of my future BSD and web programming time. I had pcBSD installed on primary-3. Now that I think about it that what I should been trying to vBOX with all along but now I am burn-out and I read many have been having big bugs problems with it, mostly un-resolved unless you using pcBSD 7.1.1 and an old vBOX. Whatever the case I will never give Windows Primary-1 again. FreeBSD lives on my Primary-1 forever so they best get their act together and come off the bull-sh*t because I can live with-out Windows.
