Michelle Collins has spoken out after reports suggested she was planning to leave Coronation Street.
It was reported that the actress - who has been playing Rovers landlady Stella Price since last year - would wave goodbye to the cobbles next year because she wants to spend more time with her daughter.
The 51-year-old said in a statement: "I am very happy working on Coronation Street and have no plans to leave the show.
"I have recently signed a new contract for another 12 months and have not said I'm planning to leave the show after that time."
"I'm really enjoying playing Stella and have made some firm friends on the cast.
She continued: "There are a lot of exciting storylines in the pipeline for Stella, including the recent casting of Sue Johnston as her mum, and I'm relishing the chance to be part of such an amazing show."

Ramirez, Champion Even Series In Winnipeg
WINNIPEG, Manitoba. – One swing provided all of the Sioux Falls Canaries offense on Wednesday night, and it turned out to be plenty.
J.P. Ramirez belted a grand slam in the second inning, propelling the Birds to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at Shaw Park. The liner over the right field wall came on the first pitch Ramirez saw after sitting out Tuesday's series opener. It was his fifth home run of the year and part of a 2-for-3 performance.
The third grand slam of the season by a Birds hitter was more than enough for Canaries starter Adam Champion (5-7), who tossed six shutout innings after starting on Sunday. A reshuffled four-man rotation moved Champion up a day, and he rose to the occasion by scattering seven hits, all singles, while not walking anybody. He struck out three to help Sioux Falls even a three-game series.
Champion's performance continued a stretch of good starting pitching, which has turned in 12 quality starts (6 or more innings pitched, 3 or less earned runs allowed) in the last 14 games. Starting pitchers are now 11-5 in July for a Canaries squad that improved to 13-8 this month and 27-37 overall.
Alan DeRatt remained perfect in save opportunities, throwing a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 14th save.
Former Sioux Falls pitcher Pete Gehle (3-4) took the loss. He pitched well except for the fateful second inning, allowing four runs on five hits in seven innings. He walked one and fanned four. After loaded the bases and giving up the grand slam to start the second inning, he saw just one over the minimum through the seventh inning.
Winnipeg (30-31) scored their only run in the seventh on a groundout against Canaries reliever and former Goldeyes pitcher Chris Allen. Jordan Whatcott threw a scoreless eighth to set up the ninth.
The rubber game of the series is at 12:05 p.m. on Thursday.

Stockport children swap the classroom for the farmyard
Has the horse meat scandal made you worry about where your food comes from? Well schoolkids across the North West are spending time on farms to see just where ingredients start out.
Teachers say pupils are taught to eat a better diet, and to value fresh produce over ready made meals and junk food. There are five school farms in the North West experts are asking if the scheme should be copied across the country. Sarah Rogers reports.

This Week in the Twitterverse
This Week in the Twitterverse
This Week in the Twitterverse takes a look at the social media happenings of the previous week, or whatever else I feel like talking about. Mostly I make fun of people who are better at things than I am. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited. Consult your doctor if this column lasts more than four hours. If you come across anything you think should be in next week's column, send it to @Bry_Mac.
So… how's things?
It finally happened. We ran out of things to talk about.
I'm not saying we've covered most of the ground worth covering. Or that we've discussed all the interesting topics of the day. I'm saying that we have literally exhausted all topics of rational communication. You want proof? This was the national media on Tuesday:
We've crossed the Rubicon into the land of blather. What's worse, we've still got ten weeks to go before the season kicks off, and six weeks before we even get to fall camp. Even pro basketball and hockey will be over in a matter of days, and we'll be left all alone with baseball and our thoughts. This is gonna suck.
This is also a very dangerous time for student athletes; screw something up, and it'll be talked about for weeks. Case in point, Johnny Manziel. Senor Juanito del Futbol lashed out publicly and viciously against his adopted town of College Station, and basically threatened to bail.
Manziel obviously had some kind of blowout with the coaching staff, or a teammate, or the A&M administration, or a roving band of Vikings or something.
Or he was pissed about a parking ticket. Yep, Johnny was nailed for parking the wrong way on the street in front of his house and having overly tinted windows. If everyone had known this from the beginning, we would have responded with the far more appropriate "MANZEEL BREAKS LAWS AND DOESN'T RESPECT AUTHORITAH" outrage, instead of the "OMG MANZEEL IS A CANCER TO TEH TEAM" outrage. But you have to feel a little bad for Manziel; everything the kid does is scrutinized so closely, and people assume the most outlandish interpretation of everything he does unless otherwise noted. If Twitter had been around when I was in college, I would probably have been investigated by Homeland Security for my threats to "blow Ann Arbor off the face of the planet, you meter-hawking bastards."

What to see in Matara
Matara Attractions
Most travellers to Matara are primarily seeking the palm-treed sandy stretches of beach along the southern coast of Sri Lanka, and the region is usually part of a coastal road or rail trip beginning in Colombo, passing through the artistic town of Galle, and culminating in the city of Matara. There are many beautiful beaches along this route and some quiet resorts for those wanting privacy and peace.
Within the city itself, there is a vibrant and unaffected street life which is interesting for foreign visitors and provides ample people-watching opportunities and chances to sample authentic local food. Matara has a rich colonial history and the old Dutch fortifications are perhaps the main sightseeing attraction away from the beaches, with the well-preserved Star Fort a popular site to explore. A visit to the modern Weherahena Buddhist Temple, with its gaudy riot of religious art, including the enormous Buddha statue, is another must for tourists in the area.
The most popular time to visit the south coast of Sri Lanka, including Matara, is between October and April, when the weather is warm and sunny between rainy seasons. Most travellers choose to stay at the beach resorts outside of the city and visit for a dose of sightseeing and local culture when they want a break from the tropical splendour of the coast.
The southern beaches of Sri Lanka are the most popular for tourists, with the main season extending from October to April…

Wilson disease causes a buildup of copper in the body. It is very rare.
Copper is a mineral we get from food. Our bodies need it in small amounts. Too much copper can be poisonous.
We eat much more copper than we need. The copper needs to be passed out of our bodies. People with Wilson disease cannot pass the copper they do not need. The copper builds up in the body and damages organs like the liver, brain, kidneys, and eyes.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Wilson disease is a genetic disorder. A faulty gene causes this system to malfunction. Both parents must have the faulty gene in order for the child to develop the disease. People with only one faulty gene may never have symptoms. However, they can pass the gene on to their children.
The only known factor that increases your risk for Wilson disease is a family history of the disease.
It tends to be most common in eastern Europeans, Sicilians, and southern Italians.
It may take some time for copper to build up. At first, the liver will hold the excess copper. Eventually, the liver will not be able to hold the copper. Copper will begin to leave the liver and move to other organs like the brain or eyes. Symptoms usually begin under 40 years of age, typically at ages 6-20 years. They can be present as early as 5 years of age.
Wilson disease is rare. It is fatal unless it is treated before serious illness develops. Symptoms may be attributed to other more common causes like hepatitis or cirrhosis. You may also appear healthy even while your liver is getting damaged. However, it is important to get diagnosed and treated early. This will help to avoid organ damage and early death.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and mental exam will be done. Your eyes will be examined for brown, ring-shaped color in the cornea (Kayser-Fleischer rings).
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested for copper. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your brain. This can be done with an MRI scan.
You may consider genetic testing if there is a family history of Wilson disease. If the condition is identified before symptoms develop, it may prevent serious complications.
It may also be recommended in people who don't have a history of high alcohol intake but have a fatty liver.
Genetic counseling may be helpful to review risks of genetic testing.
The goals of treatment are to:
Treatment cannot cure the underlying problem of copper build up. You will need to continue treatment throughout your lifetime.
Medications may help by:
Certain changes in your diet may help reduce your copper intake:
A liver transplant may be needed if you have severe liver damage. Transplantation may also be needed if you cannot tolerate the side effects of medications.
There are no current guidelines to prevent Wilson disease.

Above are recruitment ads for Science and English teachers for the YH Secondary girls' school. Nothing strange in that other than perhaps they may have run out of a ready supply of ex-sem girls and so must cast their net further afield. That however should be a cause for celebration as it indicates that the latest batch of sem graduates have spent their valuable formative years studying how to de-bug lettuce and sew hems and not filling their heads with such narishkeiten as the writings of that notorious anti-semite and his musings on Brutus and Casius. We have hespeidim of gedoilim beginning moirai vraboisai not speeches to friends and countrymen about thrice refusing crowns. That is not the Torah way.
Besides, do you know that Science KS3 has life processes as a subject which in turn includes repr-duction, rachmono litzlon? Is that what we needed a state aided school for to teach our heilige kinderlech how to have more kinderlech kenienehore, chas vcholilo?
Getting back to the advert which is what brought me here in the first place, you may have noticed on first blush that one has an email in the heading while the other one doesn't. Again nothing to raise an eyebrow since different audiences have different tastes and while one type of reader may shun a school that has no email medium for communication another may be attracted for that very reason. Anyway both have an email further in the text and so it's simply a case of not shouting it out too loud.
Ok, Tickle, your obsession with YHS seems to be getting the better of you and if this is all you have to say why not just shut up?
But, let me grab your wrist, hang on a second. Take a look at the beginning of the ad and you will notice that while the one on the right begins with YHS being an "Orthodox Jewish Voluntary Aided School based in Stamford Hill" that bit has been excised from the ad on the left. One searches for an explanation and wonders if it the Orthodox in the sentence the other paper objected to or is it the Stamford Hill bit?
The Torah as always comes to the rescue and it is only when we apply the 13th rule of Rabbi Yishmael's rules of extrapolation that we can make some sense. This is the rule that where two passages contradict each other 'until along comes the third passage and reconciles between them.'
And the third way in this case being our old friend, admissions.
As the admissions brochure above shows the O word dares not speak its name and it's the C word that predominates: Charedi. You know who they are, I assume. That group that is on the cusp of becoming the majority of Anglo Jewry and according to the 'principal' we should be planning ahead. Presumably by rewriting JFS admissions criteria and lining up some family members for the JLC and BoD. But oy how I digress.
Didn't I mention reconciliation? So hold on tight because we are now going on a Talmudical roller coaster and here comes a long extrapolation, exegesis, exposition and reconciliation all rolled into one.
You see, the ad on the right comes from the JC whose readers are as likely to send their kids to YHS as the Chief Rabbi on the YHS podium is likely to appear in the Hamodia, and even if those readers were to apply the very taking of that paper is likely to win their application an instant place in the waste-paper basket and memeile we can spill the beans to them that we are O in order to attract those teachers who might turn their nose up upon sight of the C word and we still won't risk chas vcholilo a queue forming at those daunting iron gates (reserved for visitors only). Ma she'ein kein with the Hamodia where the advert on the left appeared if we were to tell their readers that we are Orthodox only rachmono litzlon and based in Stamford Hill noch it could affect business for the school hall whose hirers and leaseholders may take objection to the shande of an O presence in the holy square mile. We also can't mention the C word because there is a minhag not to advertise the school lest parents whose children are not lucky enough to be enrolled in the eponymous primary school clamour to get over those railings and we can't have a rabble at our gates as if we're an apple store launching a new ip-d, chas vsholem. Let them therefore think we're in the Outer Hebrides and don't even tell them we're Jewish and then maybe they'll stop fardreiing us a kop with applications and appeals so that we have more time to concentrate on applying the 4-inch-below-knee rule. So to sum up, and here we conclude, when writing to bring them in use the O word, when writing to keep them out use that deliciously indefinable C word which works a dream for exclusions and when straddling both worlds leave it out alltogether and a plague on both their shuls.
Phew, are you still here? Well, do hurry up, applications close today!
Stamford Hill is changing. That may be stating the obvious though it would sound like news to many of those who descend upon us from time to time to describe us like some Amazonian tribe that talks in whistles and performs a ritual dance each time an aeroplane crosses overhead. They cannot be entirely at fault when some people who purport to speak for us like to present us as quaint delicate artefacts that are irreparably harmed when exposed to sunlight and require an army of representatives, carers, talkers to take care of our every unique need if not whim.
Yet despite their best efforts we are not what we used to be. We are more confident, more extravagant, less sarcastic and cynical, not so suspicious and secretive, less prudish and conservative, less hierarchical and respectful of authority but also brash and flash. Not all the change is for the better and there is much that I like about the old like paying for one's way and not expecting life to be handed on a plate. I personally will never get used to the hysterical, sensational, shallow sentimentality that has been imported largely from Israel and to a lesser extent from the US.
However, I don't get to choose these things but nor can I ignore them. It would be impossible to try and lay a finger on the pulse of the up and coming and even less would I like to think what it means for our future because if one thing is certain whatever the future holds it ain't gonna be rosy. This is also a holiday week when people are extremely busy arranging outings and figuring out how to make a sandwich without the centre ingredients coming into contact with the outer layers. It is a feat that Hillel managed nicely some 2000 years ago but which appears to have been lost over time.
So rather than bore you with analysis and prognosis I present a list of old vs. new. This is not a value judgement and the old is far from dead while the new has yet to galvanise but it still tell us something. Like all lists it is likely to be invidious and undoubtedly reflects my bias but it should be fun nonetheless.

The conventional view is that Pinter made it big time and on the whole it is difficult to argue with that. The fact of the matter is that Livingstone's article in last week's JC mentions just one person by name whom Ken tells us he likes and respects in equal measure. Tell me who your friends are... comes to mind which is perhaps why it was not quite the local topic of conversation last Shabbos. There is however no principle that the represented must know what is being said and done in their name and so let's get back on topic.
Rather than blow Pinter's trumpet which he is more than capable of doing on his own perhaps we should examine his role in all of this and once again ask what's in it for him. Let us take a closer look at the events of the last weeks and see how our liked and respected hero carried out his public duties as representative of the downtrodden of Stamford Hill.
12 February 2012: Ken Livingstone attends Side-by-Side dinner at the behest of Pinter. Ken's presence was not pre-announced on the invitations and begging letters for the brochure. Had it been it may have made a significant difference to the amount raised.
15 March 2012: The JC reports on a dinner attended by Ken and Jewish Labour supporters. 'Sources' briefed the paper and though I don't know who those sources are of the 25 people reportedly present only Pinter is at this stage mentioned by name. Although we were told that the discussions were off the record the report did tell us what Pinter asked for and what he didn't get. Pinter also gave a statement to the paper that he was 'disappointed' that Ken was given an opportunity to make amends but didn't take it. Hamodia, a large part of whose readership Pinter purportedly represents and where he is the resident spinner, is silent on the issue.
23 March 2012: The JC reports on Ken's 'rich Jews' comment that since the Jewish community was rich they were unlikely to vote for him. The 'sources' who briefed the JC the week earlier had seen fit to provide quite a bit of detail of what went between Pinter and Ken but not this. The comments were made towards the end and it's possible that Pinter was at that stage bentshing from a siddur (did they serve beer and sandwiches?). The same issue of the JC also reported on a letter to Ed Miliband by some of the attendees complaining of Ken's comments. Pinter did not sign the letter. Notably, the letter is signed by Rabbi Danny Rich who is the chief executive of Liberal Judaism in the UK and who also attended. It appears 'sharing a platform' is not quite the cardinal sin we've always been told it is.
Dan Rickman, another attendee, writes an article that Ken 'is part of the problem not part of the solution.' Jonathan Freedland, who was also at the dinner, wrote in the Guardian that he can't bring himself to back Ken. Nothing from Pinter, mind you, and nothing in Hamodia either.
29 March 2012: We finally get Ken's recantation mentioning three times the man who seems to have been least offended but who perhaps has most to offer. The JC also reports that Ken said at the start of the dinner that he is happy for it to be on the record and so whoever was briefing the paper on week 1 was either misinformed or misleading. Hamodia has finally woken up with a headline on page 5 about Ken having been 'misinterpreted' followed by a report on his 'alleged' comments. Can't they ask what was actually said?
Now that's out of the way let's get back to the Ken and Pinter lie-in. Ken is a seasoned politician and while he may have felt that he went too far this time and perhaps genuinely regretted some of his more juicy expressions he also chose his words carefully in his apology. Both for what he apologised for and to whom he apologised.
To Ken and Pinter we Stamford Hillers are fodder as the poor and not particularly zionist Jews. Ken may not give much of a monkey for them richies up north west but we paupers are different. If there are votes to be garnered here and Pinter is our saviour and protector then appeasing him must have been high on his agenda. Ken also has no need to offend our types in order to appeal to some of his other constituencies. Ken even tells us that Labour is the preferred party in North London, note the lack of 'West', though nobody's bothered telling him that it really depends whether it happens to be a Chareidi candidate.
Compare however the following: To the Jews it is "If I am elected my policy will not be to promote one faith or community over another… but to promote interfaith and inter-community dialogue." Whereas at the Finsbury Park mosque it was a pledge to make London a beacon for the Prophet's message and "make your life a bit easier financially." Not so much a promotion of one faith as an abandonment of all others. As Philip Collins wrote in The Times, 'I don't want a mayor who pits 1m Muslims against 200,000 Jews.'
Enough of Ken though and let's now turn to Pinter. The dinner was by all accounts a meeting of Labour party supporters and Pinter did start his political life in Hackney Council when the hard left were in control and Ken was running London in his first incarnation at the GLC.
Like the best socialists he stands for the poor and downtrodden by ensuring they remain that way and don't dare rise above their station. He is the liberal who has elevated school exclusions into an art form and admissions into a misnomer. He is the progressive at whose school girls are handed fliers requesting them to undertake to stand aside and let men pass. From him you get not equal opportunities but equal opportunism where one family just happens to be more equal than others. The socialists may believe in nationalisation but he is one who has privatised in all but name a publicly funded school.
He is the school principal who prefers to leave 14% of the school budget unspent. The advocate of the poor who won't feed their offspring school dinners. The protector of the impoverished who makes the mere 4% of free school meal claimants queue demeaningly at the local bakery to exchange their vouchers. The anti-poverty campaigner who charges the unwashed £250 to retrieve helium balloons from the ceiling. He is so slippery he cannot even decide what his name ought to be switching from Abraham to Avrohom according to its ethnic political value. We have heard how Ken funnels his earnings and it's time we get some information on the school hall income and how much that generates.
Ken and Pinter are birds of a feather shockling together. Ken needs the votes Pinter can supposedly provide and Pinter needs the cover of people like Ken to continue the hegemony of himself, the missus, kids, brother, nephews, nieces and shortly no doubt grandsons and daughters too. They are next of kin and deserve no less. True to Labour's ideals he will tell us plebs what is best for us and we'll bloody well accept it on pain of having our sons and daughters walk the streets. Ken is loyal to his comrades and if it means looking aside over some tiny local school it's only a small price to pay.
But as another Abraham said, You can't fool all the people all the time.
Last Friday (7 Nisan) was the Hebrew yortzeit of Rabbi Yehosua Szpetman about whom I wrote in this post.
Born in Lublin, Poland in 1887/8 he was the rabbi for 35 years at the Nelson Street Synagogue which was one of the larger shuls in the East End. (According to the link above there were two Nelson Street Synagogues.) A reader has helpfully pointed me to A World Apart by Harry Rabinowicz for biographical details.
According to Rabinowicz the rabbi "was not afraid to criticise spiritual or lay leaders. He hated untruths, dishonesty and hypocrisy. He frowned on displays of pretentiousness and was unique in tolerance and sympathy. He spoke more like a prophet than a preacher. He enlivened any gathering with his wit, eccentricity and his healthy irreverence. He befriended the Chasidic rebbes in London and graced most of their functions. He was popularly called the 'Red Rabbi', the Jewish counterpart of his contemporary the Dean of Canterbury, Dr Hewlett Johnson."
It's a shame they don't make rabbis like that any more and I hereby declare him patron saint of this blog.
His views on the Chief Rabbinate are as relevant today as there were in 1947 when he wrote in a letter to the JC "…I suggest now that Anglo-Jewry is about to elect its spiritual head, would it not be appropriate earnestly to consider dispensing with the so-called title 'Chief Rabbi…"
Rabbi Szpetman was naturalised as a British citizen in May 1952 and it is interesting to read the list of new citizens for that month and the large proportion of Jewish names.
Rabbi Szpetman died on 20 March 1964 (7 Nisan 5724) and is buried beside his wife at the Federation Cemetery on Montague Road in Edmonton (down the road from the Prince and Princess hall). That plot contains quite a few East End rabbis from that era who are unfortunately largely forgotten.
He wrote several books in Yiddish and I've listed a few below. The first three can be downloaded and one is topical for Pesach. The first is a collection of speeches where you get more than a flavour of his fiery oratory and his warm humanity. A fuller bibliography is available here.

Anyway, like I said, to discuss this further, we should probably create a new thread, as it's pretty much impossible to answer this sort of question with straight facts. At the end of the day, I think the key point to remember as it relates to Kannagi is that this was, for the most part, a manufactured "fiasco" put on by a group of troublemakers furthering a meme. While there may be some people who really have those sorts of feelings, they are by no means representative of all "otaku".

In any case, I posted here because I wanted to find out whether Eri Takenashi had ceased work on the manga because those stabby former "fans" had threatened or actually endangered her personal safety. I'm not sure just where a thread about otaku obsession with seiyuu would go, frankly, though I'm sure a lot of us would like to know just who is most susceptible or the like. I don't hear people screeching about Miyuki Sawashiro, for instance, despite her starring role in Rozen Maiden or in Kannagi.

You're confusing *some* japanese for *the* Japanese. We're talking a very small subset of dysfunctional obsessive "fans" (I use the term loosely because I think it insults most otaku to be grouped with this extreme fringe much like many other subcultures). These few extremists don't *have* a clue about healthy relationships and their antics make other hobbyists embarrassed to admit their hobby.
At one point, I wondered if the "virgin idol" was some deviant incarnation of the "virgin shrine maiden" archetype but I've dropped that theory after analysis -- we're purely dealing with people who might be characterized as having social function disorders and bordering on mental illness. Couple that with a large group of trolls who simply enjoy the mayhem of pretending to be outraged by seiyuu being human beings and amplifying the hate ... and you get puerile nonsense like the Kannagi incident or this sporadic "omg, she's a 3d girl and I won't be her first!" lunacy.
The internet tends to magnify the apparent numbers of this rather small group of dysfunctionals and their trollish emulators. No one, famous or not, should have to tolerate this infantile bullshit.
Takenashi claimed it was for "health reasons" but the evidence looks pretty good that the droolers and trolls had sucked her desire to create a story with their hatemail, threats, and generally dishonorable behavior.
Relentless was pretty thorough in describing the various players in this nonsense and why some seiyuu seem to escape while others are brutalized by 'bad behavior from obsessives'.

No, I didn't say that all Japanese got stabby over the Kannagi virginity fiasco. I said that things like religious attitudes exalting virginity don't appear to exist commonly throughout Japan (it isn't an Islamic theocracy, for instance). I didn't mean to imply that the Japanese got involved in virginity fiascos.
I'm still confused; was Eri Takenashi stalked or physically confronted/assaulted for her "indiscretion"? People who are deranged enough to do that are by no means unheard of, as Nana Mizuki and Mai Kadowaki learned to their cost. In any case, I hope Takenashi recovers from this quickly enough to finish the series and allow more episodes of the Kannagi anime to be made.

1. You have to allow a little bit for romantic fantasy. I'm sure most people are well aware of how difficult it is to make a relationship work and just how much it costs. But some people still have a dream of having a "fairytale romance", whether that's with a celebrity, someone who's rich, or whatever... even if they know that isn't realistic. When people vote on these "surveys", they're talking about what they're dreaming of, not what they'd settle for.
2. Consider the source. That website's business model is to gain readership by constantly drawing at the well of the most sensationalist conversations on 2ch. Their goal is certainly not to provide balanced coverage of the challenges facing Japan's young adult population.
Anyway, breaking through the social barriers to get to know someone's true self is not easy. This is why a lot of romantic fantasy also focuses on things like childhood friends and half-siblings and so on -- it's an excuse to already be close to someone without having to go through all the work of breaking the ice. (Even in this very work: the two main heroines are a goddess met through a fated encounter and the protagonist's childhood friend. ) Again, it's not as if people don't know how much work it is in reality, but these unrealistic fantasies are supposed to be in contrast to reality (that's why they're fantasies). Nobody's dream is "I hope to go twenty years working hard to meet someone, getting rejected more times than I can count, until finally settling with someone I can merely tolerate because my biological clock is ticking and this is the best I'm probably ever going to get". All this is even setting aside the few "crazies" who take innocent/normal dreams/fantasies too far.
Anyway, that aside, I don't think there were any reports that Eri Takenashi was physically assaulted, but it was mostly emotional/psychological taunting and attacks, such as death threats and the like. To an artist who depends on their creativity to work, that can likely be as devastating. But in the end, whatever additional medical conditions she may have had have been kept private.

I am a really big fan of Kannagi Anime.
It only released 13 Episodes (2 runs) as the Anime, but it released 7 runs as Manga.
I have read all around about the creators illness, and how Anime stopped airing. (Wikipedia, ...)
My question is, will the Anime continue that was left alone since 2008?
I would really like to get an answer, because 4 years of no activity may mean that there will be no further episodes.
Edit: In short, if you know, please tell me if we can expect any new Anime episodes after a long break.

Yeah, I don't want to give false hopes. The end of the first season just screamed for a follow-on second season. But the manga story itself has gotten pretty complicated (in addition to the hiatus problems, the story itself). Complicated translates to hard to adapt/compress/summarize without pissing fans off.
There's been a trend to have a season that synchronizes with the last book of a manga (e.g. Toradora!) because that creates buzz and sales. We'll see.

Yeah, we shall see.
However, unlike let's say Clannad, Kannagi Manga is still in making, so there still might be some chance.
It also did not have a strong ending.
Hmph, hope they will even want to get on it after 5 years...

It's been quite some time since anyone has posted in the Kannagi forum section.
Anyhow, continuing the discussion regaridng the Second Season coming or not, I now strongly think that there will be no SS.
The Manga chapters are getting released more or less slowly, and I do not think they are getting much attention. Plus, the First Season aired almost 5 years ago, so summing up the chances, they are pretty slim.
Eh, it is just that feeling when one of your favourite anime series only gets a half-season and no more. :/
I really hope I'm not the only one who still stares at the Kannagi Wallpapers for hours.

A University of South Carolina Upstate professor is continuing to teach while being investigated by the S.C. Attorney General's Office for securities violations and by the university for a possible conflict of interests.
A University of South Carolina Upstate professor is continuing to teach while being investigated by the S.C. Attorney General's Office for securities violations and by the university for a possible conflict of interests.
On Friday, the Securities Division of the Attorney General's Office issued Richard "Ric" Routh, a professor of informatics at Upstate, an order to cease and desist fundraising efforts for his start-up establishment, Invictus University.
According to the order, Routh solicited funds for Invictus, which is not registered as a corporation in South Carolina, or Routh's native North Carolina. A website for Invictus, www.invictus-university.com, advertised a 2018 public offering of the company at a value of $10 billion and encouraged investors to get in on the "ground floor" by investing $200,000 for 0.1 percent of the company. The site boasted the investment would be returned more than 50-fold, according to the order.
The website and a YouTube video of Routh touting the project were no longer available as of Tuesday afternoon.
Despite a disclaimer on the site that it is not intended to solicit securities, the Attorney General's Office found the investment offers and shares being offered to constitute securities and therefore in violation of the Uniform Securities Act of 2005.
At this time, the Attorney General's Office is not aware of anyone who has bought into Invictus, spokesman Mark Powell said.
"We always try to quickly warn South Carolinians when an investment is not complying with state law. That is why we ordered this company to stop offering securities in South Carolina," Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a written statement.
Routh said Invictus is a concept he is investigating with a team of educators. The idea is in its infancy, he said, and he denied violating securities laws.
"The company doesn't exist. Stock in the company doesn't exist. No securities have been sold," he said.
The website was an attempt to find a founding partner who, if the team decided to move forward, would provide the funds to launch a corporation, Routh said.
USC Upstate administrators have known about Routh's efforts in support of Invictus University for about 30 to 60 days, university spokeswoman Tammy Whaley said, but no action was taken because professors are not barred from outside employment in their expert capacities. When the school was notified of the cease and desist order Monday afternoon, an internal investigation was launched to determine if Routh violated any university policies pertaining to conflicts of interest, she said. The university also is participating in the Attorney General's ongoing investigation.
Routh could face civil penalties of up to $10,000, according to the order. Whether he will be allowed to properly register Invictus University as a corporation and legally solicit securities will be decided based on whether the investigation turns up malice or a willful intent to defraud investors, Powell said.
Routh said Invictus University is based on a vision to improve the quality of education while reducing price. The Internet-based classes would use technology to tailor classes to individual students based on their needs that day. It would demand mastery of key learning points before the completion of the lesson and would enhance knowledge retention through reinforcement.
"That's one of the things I've struggled with here at the university," Routh said. "It continues to discourage me that students have forgotten principles they were supposed to have learned as a foundation to build knowledge on."
The university's curriculum would be research-based and administered by the highest quality professors, he said, but such an achievement requires a substantial investment. Routh estimated it would cost $500,000 to $1 million to develop each course.
Routh said no decision has been made whether to pursue Invictus University in light of the cease and desist order.

Gif making help
[Not a gif request post]
First off I am new to this forum so please tell me if I am doing something wrong.
OK, I am in the learning process of making gifs. I have ImageReady and PhotoShop 7.0. (I still don't understand everything about these programs but I guess I will have to get some reading material so I can learn.) I actually made a gif once. However, I want to know is there a certain program that ya'll use to capture the pictures off the video feed or do you capture the pictures manually?
When I made my "trial gif" I used to capture pictures was the program PowerDVD with the picture capture feature. I noticed that I was not reacting fast enough or the computer would not respond fast enough to get the pictures that I wanted. So that is the reason why I am asking for advice.
Well thanks for reading this post and any advice that you give me.

Most of us use Virtual Dub to capture the pictures; I'm pretty sure it has a video feed option that takes all the screencaps of a given time sequence on its own, but I usually do it manually (move 1 frame forever, copy via [Ctrl] + [1], paste it in ImageReady, repeat); if the sequence has that too frames to cap then it probably wouldn't be worth doing. ^_^;;

Yuuno - Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Does anyone have Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha?
I was hoping to get one of two very cute ones from episode 4 (the one with the big cat).
100x100 (or 85x85). No real size restrictions as these will be for my family forum (but preferably less the a GB ).
Yuuno with spinning eyes. Should be very loopable. Any way to crop it to cut out the boot in the background?
Yuuno looking 'deflated'. Not sure how loopable. Maybe a fade?

Carlyle weaves into his "Hudson Statue" both religious and mythological references in order to reduce the apparent worship of Hudson the railway baron to a absurd extreme. One very striking instance involves the image of Hudson bringing a dead railway back to life, allowing it to blossom "into umbrageous flowery scrip, to enrich with golden apples, surpassing thus of Hesperides, the hungry souls of men."
In Greek mythology, the Garden of Hesperides contained the tree of the golden apples, Gaea's wedding gift to Hera upon her marriage to Zeus. The Hesperides themselves were "Daughters of the Evening," clear-voiced virgins who guarded the tree along with the dragon Ladon (and Ladon is also the name of the Arcadian river, site of the original garden). These fantastically beautiful and spiritually fulfilling apples played two parts in Greek mythology. The first involved the race between Atalanta and Hippomenes. Atalanta, an exquisite maiden and powerful warrior would only marry the man would could outrun her. Hippomenes acquired some golden apples from the garden of Hesperides and threw them in her path during the race. He absolute need to have them distracted her to pick them up and Hippomenes therefore won the race. The second instance of the golden apples occurs with the twelve labors of Heracles. His eleventh labor was to bring back and restore to the world the golden apples kept and the world's end by the Hesperides, insinuating that they were a precious treasure in beauty and enlightenment hidden selfishly away.
Therefore, in satirically proposing Hudson as a similar religious provider for the British people, Carlyle directly criticizes their idolatry.

Undergraduate Students
An undergraduate student who has been placed on Academic Suspension may be readmitted after one calendar year and only after applying for readmission and receiving favorable action on the application from the Committee on Admission, Readmission, and Retention.
Applications for Readmission from Academic Suspension should be filed with the Secretary of the Committee on Admission, Readmission, and Retention, Brenda Buzynski, in the Office of Enrollment Management. Please note that the completed Application for Readmission from Academic Suspension and all supporting documents must be received by the Secretary at least seven calendar days prior to the beginning of the term for which the student is requesting enrollment. Failure to provide the Application for Readmission from Academic Suspension, and supporting documentation, within the specified timeline will result in a delay in the review materials by the members of the CARR.
It is strongly recommended that students read the Procedure for Applying for Readmission and the Committee on Admission and Retention prior to filling out and submitting their application for consideration.
An undergraduate student who is readmitted after Academic Suspension will be placed on Academic Probation following Suspension beginning with the semester immediately following his/her return to UNI. A student who has been readmitted following Academic Suspension must earn a minimum UNI semester GPA of 2.00 for each semester after being readmitted until his/her UNI cumulative GPA reaches 2.00 or higher. While on Academic Probation following Suspension, the student will be limited to 14 credit hours for the semester.
Academic Suspension for a second time is considered permanent. Only the most extenuating circumstances would warrant consideration for readmission from Academic Suspension a second time.
Undergraduate students wishing to discuss the Undergraduate Academic Standing Policy at UNI, or seeking information regarding readmission after Academic Suspension, may make an appointment with Brenda Buzynski, Office of Enrollment Management, Gilchrist 115 or call 319-273-3456
Graduate Students
Graduate students who have been placed on Graduate Suspension must go through a different process for readmission to graduate study. If you are a graduate student, please contact the Graduate College for further information.

The goal: to send as many ill children as possible to Camp Simcha, a fun summer camp suited to their medical needs, in upstate Glen Spay.
The 4th Annual Bike4Chai fundraiser began as a simple idea 16 years ago when a Camp Simcha counselor rode his bicycle to the camp.
Today, volunteer bike riders make a similar trip, biking 113 miles in one day, and meeting up with family members and other riders for dinner and an overnight rest. Then early the next day the riders are back on the road, peddling out the last 65 miles of the journey.
The fundraiser is linked with the non-profit organization Chai Lifetime, an organization that offers services and support to children battling cancer and their families. Last year's event raised more than $1.8 million, and organizers are more excited than ever for this year.
"The first year we started Bike4Chai, we had 50 riders and made $2,000," said Alan Shamah, co-founder of Bike4Chai. "Now we have 300 riders and made $2.5 million this year."
The fundraiser is quite personal to Shamah, as members of his own extended family have suffered through the disease.
"Bike4Chai is a savior for families and children diagnosed with cancer," he said. "It does a tremendous job supporting the difficulties for these families. To see the kids and their emotions, and what we accomplished for them, is truly rewarding. When families break down in tears and emotion, you know how important it is to them."

ATT, T-Mobile, and most UK carriers use GSM technology. SIM card technology. Most phone work on their networks and usually the hardest part is just putting your SIM card in a new phone when your done with the old one.
Also UK carriers use contracts a lot less. People are more inclined to buy the device outright and same money in the long long versus being tied down to a two year contract, (three years in Canada)

All uk networks/carriers are GSMbased and use sim cards.
typical deals are as follows
sim only - you provide the hardware ouitright and a carrier/opperator of your choice provdes the serivice via a sim card in your phone, this can be a pre pay/pay as you go service or a contract service with bundled minutes/sms/data.
pre pay sim cards for various netowrks can be purchased form quite a few shops for as little as £1 or ordered free of charge from the phone network.
Pre pay subsidised, you pay for the phone and its on a pre pay service these phones are often locked to one provider and will only work with the sim card from that provider
contract/subsidised phone, you sign up to a ( typicaly ) 24 month contract deal, in most cases you pay nothing for the handset outright, but pay roughly £35 ( in the case of a high end device) over the period of 24 monthsthese almpost aways come iwht bundled data/minutes/sms etc.
Competion is fierce and carriers will often have offers to attract customers (such as free android tablets etc)
the mian carriers that exist in the UK are ( currently)
3 (three)
on top of that there are also a load of virtual opperators that by capacity in bulk form the main opperators/carriers.
edit: UK mpobile (cell ) phones have their own dialing prefix, and always start with the number 07 so for example a UK mobile phone number will be 07123456789
further edit
Also UK carriers use contracts a lot less. People are more inclined to buy the device outright
this is only true for low end phones purchased on pay as you go deals ( pre pay) , for the more exensive phones a two year contract is standard.
you can buy a phone outright, unlocked to work on any network, but its not always the cheapest way of doing things
A Samusng Galaxy s4 would cost £35 per month all in on a 24 month contract, coming in at £840
buy it outright, unlocked and it will cost £449 add to that a sim only deal at say £18 per month ( 1 month contract ) will give a price of £881, plus no free gifts
If you want a decent top of the range handset £35 per month is easier to swallow than £450 or so up front.

Let's face it- no matter where or how you met, there's always a chance that the first date with someone new could be a dud. Though it may sound defeating, the pros of putting yourself out there and dating vastly outweigh the cons. To make the best of any dull date, use these tips from our relationship expert, Whitney Casey:
1. Bon Appétit!
Always pick a place where a) you know you love the food, or b) you've been dying to check out. That way no matter what the night leads to, you will eat a good meal and/or check that spot off your list of places you've wanting to try! You'll avoid wasting your time and money if you head to a desirable spot. If it isn't dinner, the same formula fits for coffee, dessert, movies, art exhibits etc. Either revisit some place you already like or check somewhere off your "to do" list.
2. Cliff's Notes
No matter how lackluster your date is there is always something he/she knows that you don't! If you realize the two of you are incompatible (yet you have the entire to dinner to sit through), start asking a few questions about their hobbies, passions or studies. Say your date is a huge wine aficionado– let them teach you all about wine production, how to sniff and swirl, or about wine paring. You could learn a lot while doing very little digging on your own! Your date has already done the research on something, and they are sitting across from you ready to give you the Cliff's notes version. One date and you could be a mini expert in something.
3. Practice Make Perfect
If you know the date has gone south, try some new dating techniques. Consider your body language cues: Do you have your arms folded in an unwelcoming way? Are you facing away from the person? Work on fixing these bad habits that can send the wrong signals to your date off the bat. Also use this time to practice your conversation skills by asking a few conversation starters like: What is your favorite time of year? Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world? If the conversation goes somewhere where you start to feel uncomfortable, practice some segues that can help you get out of conversations you don't want to be having.
4. Grace Under Fire
No matter how bad you think your date is going, rudeness is never an option. Always respect your date; like your mother said: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Despite the fact that this is the "Golden rule", you might want to adhere to this motto for another reason: the single's community is usually a "tight-knit group". If the word gets out that you were impolite, ungrateful or disrespectful, that will not translate well for your dance card. Bow out gracefully, or you could be missing out on many other opportunities to come!

Fighting the opioid crisis: A parent's warning for addicts
Long wait times to get into rehab can make it hard for addicts seeking help. Some in the mountains end up trying to do it on their own. It has two parents calling for system wide reforms.
A News 13 investigation found getting help isn't always easy. That's because recovery hasn't really changed since the Vietnam War era when recovery was 28 days. In many cases, that's all insurance still wants to pay for, but opioid addicts said recovery takes more than a month.
Seth Morgan would fish anywhere, but Cane Creek was a favorite. It was a place to think about family, camping, even his daughter Ella, whose name is tattooed on his arm.
"He was excited about his future, he was happy, he was healthy," his mother Sherry Abbot told News 13.
Seth also struggled with addiction.
"He came home and rolled up his sleeves and I thought I was going to fall on the floor. He had track marks on his arms," Abbot said.
Two years ago in February, Seth asked for help.
"I very quickly found out there were very few places we could afford or that would take him," Abbot said. "Or didn't have a long waiting list," added his stepfather, Rob Abbot.
So, Sherry and Rob watched Seth detox at home before he could get into treatment.
"It's like someone's taking a hammer and beating him with it, and they get nauseous and vomit and diarrhea," Sherry said.
A relapse in December sent him back to rehab in Florida because nothing in the mountains was available.
"He said, 'I'm not going to live. I want to see my daughter grow up.' There was a change we hadn't seen the two times before," Abbot said.
Seth stayed sober for 100 days,
"I sent him a text saying, 'I'm so proud of you, you have no idea. I appreciate you fighting this fight. I know it can't be easy. We're always here for you and we love you.' And he wrote back and said, 'I love you, too'," Abbot recalled.
Six days after that conversation, Seth overdosed.
As the Abbots waited for Seth's remains, "We went to Kennedy Space Center, and we walked around there...we can do those things; we can save these lives," said a tearful Rob Abbot. "We can put a man on the moon, we should be able to help these kids," added Sherry.
The Abbots said families need more options, shorter waits for treatment, and more oversight in Florida, where recovery's a billion-dollar industry.
"It's abusing them and profiting from their lives," Rob said. "They'll pay to fly your kid to their place. You don't have the money to fly them, we'll pay for their airline ticket," explained Sherry.
The Florida State Legislature and Attorney General are working to limit what they call unlicensed, unregulated, substandard recovery housing that encourages anything but sobriety.
"He would say, 'Well, we're going here because they give us vouchers for food. They give us a gift certificate or a debit card to the grocery store, a gym membership.' And so they lure these kids in, and they're billing their insurance, and they're really not doing anything else. They don't make them get a job," Sherry told News 13.
The only thing worse than the lack of accountability was the call Sherry got from the coroner in Florida.
"He had no drugs in his system except for fentanyl. There was no heroin. There was no pot," Sherry said. "Nothing. One hundred percent pure fentanyl," Rob added.
This sent News 13 to the state crime lab, where you can take an exclusive look at these deadly concoctions peddled everywhere from Florida to mountain streets.
"There's no predictability, not like when you're looking at a pharmaceutical product," John Byrd, the North Carolina State Crime Lab director, said.
The Abbots' advise parents if you have an addicted child, do your homework now so you've got access to an accredited, reputable facility when it's time to get them help.

Bill Tytla - Terrytoons - drunk mouse
This is him drawing and animating really cute. From a Mighty Mouse cartoon.
It's probably partly inspired by his pal Art Babbitt's Country Mouse animation, but I think this is cuter.
There is a lot of great animation in Terrytoons but the studio gets overlooked by many people who love animation and my guess is because it had a bad inking and and inbetweening department.
I noticed as a kid that the animation seemed sloppier because the characters wobbled around, and I later realized it's not the animation, but the tracings. Ever see those bad color retracings of old black and white cartoons? Like Popeye and Porky Pig? Those terrible ugly tracings ruined those great cartoons. It's not that bad in Terrytoons but it makes a lot of animators and historians kind of turn away from the wonderful animation in many of them.
(They'll all say it's the bad stories, but that doesn't add up. Disney had terrible stories and people love those cartoons ... because of the animation...and they have tight finishes.)
Some great animators who worked at Terry through the years:
Carlo Vinci
Jim Tyre
Bill Tytla
Connie Rasinski
Frank Moser
Ralph Bakshi!
I think Art Babbitt may have worked there early on...
I actually love Jerry Shields (if that's the name of the guy who doesn't do overlapping action)

I kwow what you mean John.When I was younger I wondered why it looked so crappy. I also can't stand colorized WB cartoons, the color selection was dreadful. What was with the fuckin' pink ?
- tomlight said...
That's really cool, John.
I just wanted to say that I was watching your commentary last night for "A Gruesome Twosome" -- really wonderful stuff...Clampett was so amazing! I must say that you are the greatest cartoonist of our generation..and I'm sure that I'm not the only one to say so.
- Marcelo Souza said...
Yes, Jim Tyer, the Curly Howard of animation. His stuff wasn't funny, it was hilarious! I've posted this before but take a look at this again:(www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY_d0Q3UTcw).
The dog character running through the doors flapping his arms, my God...
Watching this Tytla animation makes my mouth water, I'd love to be animating something like that . Why are we wasting this amazing art form sending it to be cheaply and coldly done over seas? Something has to change and soon.
- Gabriel said...
i love jim tyer. John, you've talked a lot about how skill should come before originality. I agree with you, but i'm a sucker for Tyer's stuff probably for all the wrong reasons, his wackiness and distinctiveness. Tyer had the skill but also had the attitude i admire!
I know some of those other names, but i hope you'll put examples by every one of them in the future. I'm specially curious to see something by that guy who didn't do overlapping.
"Those terrible ugly tracings ruined those great cartoons."
"Porky In Wackyland", When they retraced that one in color it lost something. They filled in the eyes of the googled eyed Do-Do sign guy. And, colored Moe's hair yellow, for the three headed stooge.
- Nate said...
but yellow hair and wobbley animation makes it wackier. don't you get it?
Oh, oops. Silly me. It would be wackier that way. Ha Ha.
- BadIdeaSociety said...
The problem with Terrytoons is that even with the innovative and bouncy animation they are not particularly funny or entertaining. I would go as far as to suggest they are painfully boring.
I understand your counter-argument that Disney cartoons lack good stories, but Disney managed to innovate many concepts in animation (or -- at least -- Disney popularized the illusion that he innovated many concepts in animation.)
I think there is a reason I own the Warner Golden Collections and not the Disney Treasure DVDs; Disney cartoons are just not that good. I would need a hard sell to pick up collected TerryToons DVDs.
- Jason Miskimins said...
Good observations here.
You really know how to analyze things and get to the bottom of why things look the way they do. It is fascinating to read.
Good point about how people will overlook a lot of flaws as long as something is presented in a polished way.
Disney got a lot of undeserved respect just because their animation was very smooth and polished...But Warner Bros. had much better characters and expressions.
If you package anything the right way, people will be fooled into thinking it's great (Disney). That is one thing Disney does well - they have the money to fool people with smooth and polished art, but underneath all that polish are just bland stock expressions.

How badly does Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham want a deal on the fiscal cliff? Bad enough to thumb his nose at a no-new-taxes pledge he signed back in 2002.
The South Carolina GOP lawmaker told GreenvilleOnline.com that he's ready to break the pledge he and other Republicans made to Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform.
"I signed it in 2002, and I'm not signing any more pledges," Graham said. "I'm just going to take an oath to the Constitution. I ain't signing no more pledges."
To be sure, that doesn't mean that Graham is ready to raise income-tax rates. Revenue should instead come from capping tax deductions, he said — something that he acknowledged violates the pledge.
Optimism that congressional leaders and the White House will reach a fiscal cliff deal helped send U.S. markets higher on Monday, and Graham's statement is another sign that Republicans are ready to bargain.
Avoiding the cliff will make markets happy. Now all Republicans like Graham have to do is agree to enough revenue not to anger their anti-tax base too much.
