Author Notes: This savory ham & cheese treat is delicious and satisfying any time, hot from the oven in the morning, to lunch at room temperature and even the next day out of a cooler, they travel well.
The recipe is a savory take on my Cherry-Almond Cinnamon buns (found onsite) that follow a sticky bun technique = placing prepared raw buns over a syrup before baking and inverting; instead, however, these raw savories are placed over melted butter, cheese, finely minced sweet red peppers and scallions to accentuate the savory flavor.
Makes: 6 very large rolls and can easily be made into 12 smaller rolls
In a 2 cup measure, stir to combine the following ingredients:
1/3 cup dry powdered milk
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons butter - melted
1 egg – lightly beaten
In the work bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine:
2-3/4 cups bread flour
1 packet Rapid Rise yeast
1 teaspoon sugar or (optional) 1 teaspoon Diastatic Malt Powder - I order mine from King Arthur
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh rosemary (preferred)
OR 1 teaspoon dry rosemary and the salt (below), crushed together in a mortar and pestle
1 teaspoon salt
Prepare the filling ingredients and set aside until ready to assemble the roll
1/2 pound thinly sliced Black Forest Ham. Note: enough to cover a 9x12 raw dough rectangle
NOTE: Combine the following cheeses - to be divided between the filling and topping
1/4 cup micro-plane grated hard cheese such as Parmesan
3 cups combined, shredded mozzarella, Jarlsberg and a cheddar mixture
NOTE: Combine the following 2 ingredients - to be divided between the filling and topping
1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions
4 tablespoons butter
- Start your KitchenAid with dough hook attached on low speed and slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. When the dough forms a shaggy ball let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes, resume processing the dough, increase your speed to medium.
- Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook, if needed. Mix until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl, add more flour if needed, but keep in mind that this dough should be soft; on the wet side.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and soft, adding a sprinkling of extra flour if needed to keep from sticking to your hands.
- Form the dough into a round and place into a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size – about an hour.
- Punch down and knead the dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes to 1/2 hour.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter and prepare baking dish. In a 9 x 13 baking dish brush with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, sprinkle half of the red pepper/scallion mixture and 1 cup of the cheese mixture. Set aside until needed.
- On a lightly floured counter; press the dough into a 9x12-inch rectangle. Brush with one tablespoon of butter.
- Layer the dough with remaining filling ingredients, starting with the ham, then cheese followed by the red pepper/chopped scallions.
- Starting with the longest end of the rectangle, roll up and pinch the seam together.
- For 6 large rolls, cut the dough roll every 2 inches and assemble them into the baking dish. Brush with remaining butter. Note: cut into 1 inch slices for 12 smaller rolls.
- Cover buns with plastic wrap and rise for an hour or until doubled. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Let buns sit in the baking dish for 10 minutes; take a spatula around the edges to loosen (if needed).
- Let buns sit 10 more minutes and then invert the baking dish onto a platter, let sit 5 minutes and then pull the buns apart.

Tell us about DynamicAction.
Our headquarters are in Silicon Valley and we have offices in London, Dallas and Sofia. We provide the most advanced analytics solution specifically designed for retailers. We help retailers increase profit—and we do it by connecting and analyzing data to identify opportunities for increased sales and profit, prescribe the actions to take and accurately rank those actions by financial impact. Our solution helps merchandising teams make data-informed decisions faster and sell more at full price.
Describe what you do in your role.
I like to look at the acronym CEO to mean "Chief Everything Officer." Meaning, from the top strategic decisions to rolling up my sleeves and working through the product and math design or moving marketing boxes when necessary, I love all aspects that keep this business growing and thriving. I oversee everything from the scientists and analysts who design, create and develop our proprietary algorithms, to meeting with current and prospective clients.
What was your first foray into the working world?
I grew up on a farm in central California, which my family still owns and operates. So that was truly my first job; although my brothers and I are convinced we really didn't have a choice in the matter. From working on our cattle ranch to harvesting cotton, barley and hay oats, there were plenty of incentives to pursue a more technical role outside of farming and ranching.
But when I think about the variety of roles I've held over the years, what I most often come back to as a central point is my years working in big oil. After completing my undergrad degree in chemical engineering, I began work at Chevron, where I designed computer control systems that, at a basic level, ensured refineries maximized their profitable production and didn't explode.
And now, I've created a system that allows retailers to consider all possible data "wells" and many of the possible outcomes to drive revenue and profit.
What is innovative today in retail?
There are certainly people who envision a world where retail is 100 percent automated and self-driving. What I believe in is the ability for data action and understanding to amplify the intelligence of an organization. My vision is to deliver semi-automated commerce, where we automate the tedious tasks and proven decisions, but humans remain an integral part. We include advanced analytics and complete transparency as part of our solutions because people need feedback, measurement and ease of replication to be successful in the years ahead.
How do you envision the years ahead? Any trends catching your eye?
Ship from anywhere is interesting. Also the "individual" "first time" "unbranded" consumer. How do retailers meet the interest of "small and exclusive" and still scale? Influencers like setting trends, but if the world of many is trying to be unique, how do we identify trends and how do retailers "own" something?
What's the best advice you've ever received?
The power of repeatability always comes from understanding the details. Broad brushes are good for laying the vision and boundaries of the landscape of a solution, but rarely does a solution stand the test of time and hold up under pressure if the details aren't figured out and filled in. Even with the details well understood, it is always better to measure twice and cut once, whether you are working with precious resources or commodities.
Where will we find you on weekends?
I love the outdoors. You can find me with my kids in the waves, on the slopes, in the mountains or at a sporting event. If it moves and gets us outside, we'll be there. One of my key passions is abalone diving. The calm, the control and the clarity of the open ocean have always been factors that balance my nearly always-on professional life. Some of the best diving in the world is near my home, and we had an amazing summer this year when my teenage son got his first abalone solo.
Are your kids as connected as you are?
To say they are connected would be an understatement. My son recently asked me if we were "out of the drought?" I was a bit confused and said, "Why are you asking?"—and he was talking about our mobile data drought. I put all the kids on cellular data lockout since YouTube made our mobile plan explode.

A while back, The Rotund wrote a lovely post about being — fasten your hairnets — a fat woman who doesn't like food. I loved that post, but I can't say I relate to it.
In terms of my relationship to food, I fit every stereotype of the fat chick: I love to eat. And I love to eat high-fat, high-calorie foods, in addition to dozens of other kinds. Food gives me pleasure and alleviates pain. I use it as a drug sometimes. I eat myself sick sometimes. I order dessert when I'm already full sometimes. I often eat more than my boyfriend, who outweighs me by a significant amount. I eat fast, unless I consciously tell myself to slow down and savor it. (I'm obsessed with tapas and small plates restaurants these days, because they tend to make me slow down and enjoy the food more, without my having to think about it.) I eat more than I need to sometimes. I am fat in part because of the way I eat.
And the question of the day is, what's wrong with any of that?
I got to thinking about all this the other day after reading the review of Barry Glassner's book and this post at Every Woman Has an Eating Disorder, though it's certainly not the first time I've thought about it. For most of my life, I just accepted that loving food was bad, immoral, undisciplined — you know the drill. Now that I've come to accept my body, I've also started to wonder why I should think there's anything wrong with getting a mild buzz off of bacon. Why should I apologize for enjoying food any more than I do for enjoying sex? Eating is fun for me — maybe more fun for me than the average person, maybe not. I have no way of knowing. What I know is, it doesn't harm anyone else, it doesn't seem to be harming me so far, and I fucking like it. What's not to love about something that fits that description?
Please also note that since I started thinking this way, I have started slowing down and enjoying my food more, even when I'm talking about an oversized burger and gigantic portion of fries, not tapas. Because, when I remove the guilt I used to feel for wanting such a meal, let alone ordering it, then it's okay to let myself fucking taste it. And when I slow down enough to taste it, sometimes I even notice when I'm full and stop eating, because I don't want to feel sick for the next hour and — what's this? — I feel satisfied.
I'm not sure I knew what it was like to feel satisfied by food for about the first 28 years of my life. Especially when I was eating something everyone told me I should be ashamed of eating, my m.o. was to wolf it down and then sit around feeling disgusting, nauseated and self-loathing for a while. It's actually hard for me to understand intellectually why I did that routinely for so long and still do it occasionally; the length of time spent in physical discomfort is way longer than the length of time I spend getting a rush from the food. Logically, I should have developed an aversion to eating that way, wouldn't you think?
But I didn't. There are a lot of possible reasons for that, and I make no pretensions to having a clue what the real one is. I'll just say this: people don't always avoid punishment when they believe they deserve it.
It's a testament to the power of "good food/bad food" messages that food acceptance, if you will, came much later for me than fat acceptance. It was way easier to get my head around the idea that there's nothing wrong with my body than it was to say, "You know, it's really okay to eat cheesecake." And I don't think I'm alone in that. A lot of people, including me, came to fat acceptance via the concept of Health At Every Size, and the news that fat itself isn't particularly dangerous — it's poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle that cause health problems. That makes intuitive sense to a lot of us who don't spend our lives on the couch eating Ho-Hos, and then, when you see all the science to back it up, it's like, whoa!
Problem is, if that's the only reason you've got to accept your own fat body and others', you feel an obligation to demonstrate at every possible opportunity that you eat your veggies and work out — and are still fat. So then, if you skip the gym for a couple of days or eat something "bad," you feel like you've failed as a healthy! fatty! Suddenly, you're just an ugly stereotype again.
(And all that's without even getting into the fact that some fat people do have unhealthy lifestyles, but they are still human beings who deserve respect and dignity every bit as much as anyone else. Judging people based on your impression of their health is absolute horseshit any way you slice it.)
The thing is, healthy people of all sizes eat burgers and fries and cheesecake. It's just that no one stares at a thin person eating "bad" food and then goes home and blogs about how disgusting that was to watch, and how the obesity crisis is going to cause the fall of Western Civilization. No one looks into a thin person's grocery cart and freaks out about the bags of chips and cans of soda. No one expects thin people to represent for People of Good Health with every single decision at every daily crossroads. The thinness serves as proof that you're "taking care of yourself."
Never mind that thin people can have exactly the same health risks as fat people, and being underweight is every bit as dangerous as being "morbidly obese." All that matters is perception. If you're thin, you're healthy, period. If you're fat, you'd better be ready to produce food logs and blood test results and multiple affidavits from medical professionals to prove you don't lie in bed all day having extra-large pizzas delivered on the half-hour.
That can make it kinda hard to enjoy your food.
But it really is okay. It's okay to love eating. It's even okay to love eating food that fat people aren't supposed to eat, ever. It's okay to take sensual pleasure in, you know, a sensual pleasure. Fuel is not the only point of food any more than procreation is the only point of sex; if we agreed, as a culture, that it was all about fuel, we would certainly have given up eating and switched over to getting nutrition in pill form by now. We don't do that because eating tasty food is fucking fun. We all know it, we just don't all feel comfortable admitting it.
And that's ridiculous. I am a fat woman, and I love to eat — and for the most part, those are two separate issues. One is about being the daughter of fat parents, who were the children of fat parents, etc. The other is about being human. Human beings, curiously enough, generally like food. And that is okay.

The Characters:
Ice/Tori Olafsdotter - Woman who gets Ice powers by spilling dried ice and water, um, I mean chemicals all over her. In the comics Ice is dead. (Which is strange 'cause the unwritten rule is only Bucky stays dead.) Too bad this ain't comics.
Flash/Barry Allen - A super speedster superhero loser who always almost gives away his identity but luckily for him everyone in the movie is stupid. In the comics he was intelligent and bravely sacrificed his life to save the multiverse. (Also still dead. It would have ruined the story otherwise.) Here he is the poor man's Woody Harrelson.
Green Lantern/Guy Gardner - In the comics he was one of the stupidest character's and was once thankfully knocked out by Batman in one punch. (Guy started it.) Here he's the coolest member, but I use the term loosely here. His ring can make any object he imagines except it's green. (And he keeps using lame stuff here too.)
Fire/B.B. DeCosta - Has pyrotechnic powers and is a struggling actress. I think I know why. I think she's dead in comics too.
The Atom/Ray Palmer - In the comics he is described as "the world's coolest professor." Here he's the Urkel of heroes.
Martian Manhunter/J'onn J'onzz - Founder of the League. I wish they'd stop turning these cool characters crappy!
Weather Man/Prof. Eno - Lame knock off of the Weather Wizard. (Who wasn't that great anyway.) His costume looks like a chrome surgeon and talks like a panicky Darth Vader. I keep expecting him to say: "Luke... I am your Doctor." (GROAN.) Defeated by Juicy Fruit. Makes sense.
Martin: Creepy stalker guy.
The Plot:
JLA writer Mark Waid (Not half as weird as JLA writer Grant Morrison.) once called this unreleased TV pilot "80 minutes of his life he'll never get back." Well said. The story: some geek called the Weather Man (Weather Wizard was a bad name, but at least a Wizard is more threatening than a guy in front of a weather map.) is threatening New Metro (The poor man's Metropolis.) with cloudy weather, but his weather is defeated by the Justice League (Who wear costumes that Joel Schumacher would laugh at.) who don't really need civilian identities 'cause they don't have non-hero friends. Soon they discover a young woman who freezes everything she touches and can't control her power. (How come her clothes and purse don't freeze?) The JLA is planning to let her join after they decide she isn't the Weather Man (I thought her being a woman would give that away.) and introduce her to the Martian Manhuter (Who claims Mars is much hotter than Earth. Either that or he's not from Mars. But then why the name? AAARRRGGGHHH.) and there's a subplot about a stalker. They beat the bad guy, but he's already escaping (Shouldn't the cops look him over for weapons?) and Ice freezes a tidal wave. There are interviews with the characters between scenes to remind us they are people too. (Or to remind you this sucks. One of the 2.) Thank God it never made it to TV.
Many thanks to Anne's

Things I Learned From This Movie:
Heroes steal invitations, sneak into buildings and kidnap people.
Heroes watch "Touched By An Angel."
Every mechanical problem can be solved by gum.
Heroes aren't afraid of using their powers in public.
Mars is very hot.
Earrings are the only sure way to figure out secret identities. Forget build, face, voice, haircut etc.
When a wall falls pyrotechnics go off.
Walls are put up before construction frames.
The ill tempered and ominous guy is never the villain.
Stuff To Watch For:
3 mins - Does the Flash have a pager in his ear? There's a beeping sound and he touches his ear.
4 mins - That's the Weather Man? Looks like a surgeon performing in Vegas!
6 mins - Those are some intimidating violinists.
7 mins - Really bad joke: girl in a banana costume says she's "Gotta split"
8 mins - Despite being caught in a hurricane that kid seems happy.
9 mins - A wall falls and completely unexplained pyrotechnics go off.
10 mins - During the Hurricane the Atom uses his power to get a cat from under a house. Aren't there people to save? Isn't a cat safer under a house than outside during a hurricane?
16 mins - After Flash cleans his house and makes him diner Guy says he doesn't know what to think. How about "Thank you" you jerk.
17 mins - Angry red herring suspect. Just like on Scooby Doo.
21 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A ROLLERSKATER!
22 mins - Gum fixes TV. (Plot point.)
26 mins - Flash delivers mail. Reminds me of that mailman joke from Double Dragon.
29 mins - This guy's creepy! He's stalking you!
32 mins - Very fake Hail
36 mins - GL just stole something! Flash, out of costume, uses his speed power and no one notices!
43 mins - Was that limbo under the infrared light necessary?
55 mins - The guy's a stalker! Get a clue!
59 mins - Underwater Spaceship base! It's like watching Seaquest only it's more annoying than that dolphin's voice.
61 mins - Wait, he scoured the universe for heroes and didn't stop at Earth first? It's the nearest freaking planet to mars.
69 mins - HE'S A STALKER!
70 mins - So she figured out Fire's ID from the earrings? Is everyone stupid?
76 mins - Gum used to fix control panel. (Told ya.)
77 mins - 300 degrees is a beach day on Mars? Does Mars ever get that hot? There are beaches on Mars? I doubt it!
83 mins - Cops didn't search him for weapons? They don't see him cutting through the cuffs?
End credits - Thank God

I found this at my local comic shop. The owner of Strange Adventures (a comic shop franchise along the Canadian maritimes) brought it in from a comic convention and I borrowed it for this review. It's not for sale but you can find or see stuff like this at conventions. The also tend to show other stuff like the insidous Roger Corman's Fantastic Four movie (!) and the probably good (the director did Mask of the Phantasm) Gen 13 Animated movie (with the voices of Mark Hamill and Flea of the Red Hot chile peppers). Also my local comic shop has a copy of the Story of Ricky!!

Watched the 'movie' with my 6 year old. He's into comics and stuff, and you know, at 5pm on a Sunday, you figure this is the kind of superhero fantasy he's get into.
Wrong. Dud movie. He turns to me at the end and says,'that's it?
As a 6 year old, he did however, like Lantern's ring and the silly stuff it does. The fast and stupid things the flash does, and he particularly liked the Atom, which had to shrink and go under the shed to pull a cat out.
The rest of the movie? He turned to his transformer toys on the floor.
My own view is that writer wasn't sure whether to go serious, half serious or anti-serious. Seriously, it was bad.

Dudes, this movie actually does suck. I always remembered flash as some mad hard guy, who could run DAMN fast! not some sad loser, who could run fast if he could remember how his legs worked. And green lantern is the sort of person who Jon Bon Jovi would call crap. Anyway, marvel kicks dc's ass so there. apart from batman. he rules.

Being a fan of David Ogden Stiers first attracted me to seek out a copy of this show. It's so corny... so corny it's cool. I'm not into the comic books, so I really don't know how the characters are supposed to be. But I found it enjoyable :), the only thing is that the plot could have done without Martin aka "the creepy stalker guy" and should have had more of DOS.

Hi Guys! I'm from the Philippines... And I tyhink that the movie Justice League of America is actually very NICE... But, there aree some flaws for example are the FLASH and the GREEN LANTERN... The LANTERN is not a white guy bubt a black guy... And the flash like some of you said is good hard guyy... But, on the other hand the actors and the actresses in the movie did well... And also they couild have chosen a nicer plot in the movie... Till the next JUSTICE LEAGUE movie...

This was shown on Cable TV over here in England. It is truly terrible in every way.
The only funny point is when all the heroes go to their secret base in full costume. Their base in located near the dock and with their bright colours they woudl stick out a mile.

To help her along, the bride turned to longtime friend and designer, Giambattista Valli. "I was really comfortable talking to him about something really important like this," says the actress, 30.
Ultimately, Valli created a custom petal-pink strapless gown of silk mousseline and silk organza with a light-pink floral motif that "was whimsical and dramatic," says Biel. Her wedding look also included a heartfelt detail: Her floor-length veil was adorned with pearls from her grandmother's wedding day tiara.
Valli also outfitted Biel's four bridesmaids along with her mom, Kim, and Timberlake's mother, Lynn Harless, for the big day.
As the reception rolled on into the wee hours, Biel changed into a silk shantung and macrame lace strapless dress from Valli's spring collection.
For more about Biel's fantasy wedding gown — and to hear Timberlake's reaction! — pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on sale Friday.

In the placid days before what's called the Cambrian Explosion of animal life, seafloor sediments were laid down in neat, firm layers, coated by microbial mats and remained undisturbed. Animals had no need to attach themselves to anything because the seafloor was firm and reliable. Then along came animals that had figured out how to mine the seafloor for food, changing the course of evolution forever. David Bottjer of the University of Southern California will explain the pivotal evolutionary role of what he calls the Cambrian "sod busters" at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America on Monday, October 28, in Denver, CO.
To learn how mud mining animals might have spurred evolution, Bottjer looked at ancient seafloor sediments in China and Canada from the period of time when the habit of churning, or "bioturbation," was spreading across the globe. He found that messier sediments held the remains of more kinds of advanced animals than the contemporary areas where microbial mats managed to hang on. The discovery suggested to Bottjer that churned up conditions created environmental pressure that led to the evolution of animals with noticeably different, even modern, lifestyles.
"It's kind of a feedback thing," said Bottjer. "The change is creating change in other organisms." The new churning animals were themselves part of the Cambrian explosion of new kinds of beasts, but they also probably accelerated the burgeoning creation of new life forms by changing the environment and forcing earlier animals to adapt to harsher, backwater environments where the sodbusters couldn't survive, asserts Bottjer. The churning up of the sea floor also forced filter-feeding animals to evolve ways to attach themselves to rocks and shells so they could stay above the mess.
By later in the Cambrian the seafloor had became very unstable, says Bottjer. Earlier animal forms had to move to rocks or shells of other organisms to stay alive. "They had adaptations that we see in the sea every day today." It was, in effect, the invention of the barnacle lifestyle, although barnacles as we know them today evolved much later.
In contrast, during the earlier Precambrian animals had no need to adapt to muck. In those days the microbial mats ruled the world. So some of the earliest multicellular animals were probably "mat scratchers" that searched the pudding-like microbial surface for food. Others were "mat stickers" that stuck into mats and underlying sediments, like a fencepost, Bottjer explains. All that ended when worms, mollusks and trilobites came along and started tearing things up.

If i were Haruto i personally could not be around Kazma nor could i be friends with him for a while. I would need some space to gather my thoughts and sort through this mess. Im hoping to see some deep reflection on Harutos part. I dont mean self loathing or emo i means serious thinking about where he wants to go from here. Going home is not an option right now hes going to have to make the best of what hes got.

This is not NTR, Jesus Christ. There is no cheating going on.
That said, Eba's behavior in this Chapter is so incredibly disgusting that Seo has written himself into a dead end. There will be a reason given as to why she acts the way she does but it just won't do. Another Seo- manga in which the male lead ends up with a bitch. Seo Kuji sure has some issues.

i think i might have an idea on what Kazama's illness is. It's possible it's a potassium deficiency. Not necessarily deadly but can be dangerous if left unchecked. His eating a banana at the beginning of the chapter might have been a clue since it's a great thing to eat in this case.

A potassium deficiency isn't crippling enough to prevent someone from becoming a professional racer. It's a form of malnutrition that can be easily corrected. Eating a banana doesn't really give much insight on his disease, because a banana can be served under plenty of normal circumstances.
Even if Kazama is the boyfriend, I doubt Haruto will stay angry at him (or Eba, for that matter). He'll probably be the one to tell Haruto my theory that Eba's with him because she feels guilty that he's going to die so soon. Besides, I doubt Kazama's going to be so clingy to Eba when he said he'd support Haruto, no matter what decision he makes. It's just a test for Haruto to bring back Eba.

Well I guess some guys may be ok with such thing, since they would probably be content to just get "some" but I don't see that being the case here.
If I was Haurto I would have just went
"Oh hey Eba, what you doing here? ehh Kazuma is boyfriend?!
He's a great guy, you better keep a hold of him"
Oh yea Kazuma, Eba was the girl I was talking about, she dumped me to go out with a guy that confessed to her, that dumped her back in middle school and cause she feels sorry for him, who would have thought it was you!"
"Oh Eba you should have said so back when I came to see you, would have saved me alot of trouble moving here...oh well guess I'll go back and have some hawt sex with Onee-chan, later"(I really have no idea why I'm so after that pairing)
Well guess this way is probably the more interesting route altho would be pretty interesting also to see Haruto to go off the deep end

Well looks like its time to go back to Hiroshima, hook up with Nanami, Akari and maybe take Nagoshi with you, have your own harem and have tons of babies. hehe
Buy a bicycle and make a soul-searching tour of Japan. and coincidentally meet the girl from the part-time job and have tons of babies.

I dont know about you but i dont like people who crush others for the sake of another person by not being honest and causing a bigger mess than what would have been if you would have just told the truth. Lots of readers think Haruto is the one without a spine i actually think its Eba is the one with a spine nor a thought in her head. At least Haurto had balls enough (even when everyone said he was crazy) to go to Tokyo leaving his friends and family in his senior year to get things straight. What has Eba ever done for Haruto?
Know what would make me happy. If Akari came to visit Haruto in Tokyo and while out wandering they run into Eba and Akari whoops dat ass right in front of her friends. Nanami couldnt do something like that but Akari could Falcon punch all her make up off.

IMO it's obvious that Eba truly loves Kazama. Not out of pity - she loves him because he is someone dear to her. Eba does not love Haruto. I never believed that Eba loves Haruto, but because I'm not her fan and because she is female protagonist of shounen romance (and by "rules" of shounen romance she is bound to love male protagonist) I was thinking that I'm wrong, and she might love Haruto.
Haruto was her saviour. A guy from her dreams, the only person who cares about her when everybody (her family) abandoned her. She was in love with hero, someone who could protect her. Haruto has a hero complex so he gladly became her knight in shining armour. As soon as her relation with family improved a hero was no longer needed. So her "love" for a hero disappeared.
I don't think she deliberately lied about her love for Haruto, she deceived herself as well as other. Now she is truthful to herself and she is devoting herself for her true love - Kazama.
BTW - I don't remember Rin ever lying. All her actions and words are implying that Eba was going out with Kazama, while, technically, she still was Haruto GF. Eba was cheating on Kazama almost as soon as she was out of his sight. I know it's not a NTR manga, cause there is no sexual intercourse, but IMO it's as close to NTR as sounen romance could be (please lets' not talk about GE).

We still don't know what her reason is but it's probably a stupid one... well at least it will be funny when the whole thing comes crashing down on her head.
And btw, @everyone in this thread: Calm the F*ck down! It's not the end of the world... It's just the end of this manga...for some of us
I will keep on reading KNIM tho.. At least till the end of this arc. And if Haruto and Eba get back together, then I will give up.

I myself read KNIM as a filler manga, just few days ago I came back from hiatus to it, yet it seems that when I came back Seo wanted to make some hard plot moves.
Seriously I'm in "haruto should move on" faction now. But its Seo manga and as I can base my experience on suzuka which was a quite long manga, he won't move on or atleast not for good. I even stoped reading suzuka near the end, to just get
to know the ending from animesuki forums. Which was retarded imo.
Seriously Anyone know any good romance manga such as
-Video Girl Ai (Anime made me go into manga world as it only covered lke 30% of source material)
- Ichigo 100% (even though it wasn't the best plot romance ever its still few levels above seo works)
-Some other romances such as Love Hina and few less known which I wont bring here atm.
I would really read some nice romance manga to add some flavour to my other more "manly" series, but its really hard to find any good romance, with possible good artork (as I know the 70's had nice plot such as Kimagure Orange Road, even though artowrk style wasn't its best point, atleast now in modern drawing style).

if she wont explain her damn reasons for being selfish.... this manga is as good as dud.... seo really lost it here..... i know he has a high tolerance of drama buildup, but this thing just overflows the cup..... so whats next then? he then has a fling relationship with some other girl? has a short relationship with another? god damn it seo! what the hell are you trying to prove to eba here? haruto is already shattered yet you still let him cling to that selfish girl! i dont give shit about her selfish excuses... but if she doesnt explain it CLEARLY fast, a lot of people are gonna throw this to the bin

A drug-testing requirement for some welfare applicants and less restrictive demands on employers checking on workers who may be in the country illegally were the first two bills Thursday that Pat McCrory vetoed as North Carolina's governor.
RALEIGH (AP) — A drug-testing requirement for some welfare applicants and less restrictive demands on employers checking on workers who may be in the country illegally were the first two bills Thursday that Pat McCrory vetoed as North Carolina's governor.
The Republican governor said some of the drug-testing bill demands were fiscally irresponsible, potentially intrusive and punitive in restricting future access to benefits that could hurt families.
"This administration believes there are better ways to fight addiction and prevent criminal drug abuse," McCrory wrote in his formal veto message to legislators. "However, this is not the best way forward and I must veto this bill."
The other measure would have exempted employers from using the federal E-Verify system for temporary workers of less than nine months in a calendar year, compared to no more than three months in a 12-month period that is currently law. The bill, designed in part to help farmers who need seasonal labor, would make it easier to hire immigrants who are in the country illegally in more industries than just agriculture, McCrory said.
"Every job an illegal immigrant takes is one less job available for a legal North Carolina citizen," McCrory said in a prepared statement. "We must do everything we can to help protect jobs for North Carolinians first and foremost."
The governor is now required to call the General Assembly back to Raleigh by early September so lawmakers can attempt to override his vetoes. Both measures passed the House and Senate in the legislative session's final days last month by wide veto-proof margins. A veto override requires yes votes from three-fifths of the members present in each chamber.
McCrory did issue an separate executive order dated Wednesday that attempts to address a portion of the drug-testing bill that would have subjected welfare and food stamp applicants to expanded background criminal history checks. The order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure that county social services offices conduct criminal checks for first-time or renewing applicants.
McCrory, who took office in January, said the executive order reflects his support for "efforts to ensure that fugitive felons are not on public assistance rolls."
The bills would have to first be considered by the House, where Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, expressed displeasure with the vetoes.
Tillis said in a statement that while the executive order "shows agreement on important aspects of the bill, I will consult with members of the House and Senate on the questions that remain as we move forward." Tillis said the immigration bill, which largely is comprised of a wide-ranging study on immigration matters, "received strong bipartisan support and sought to provide clarity to employers and agencies regarding the impact of illegal immigration in North Carolina."
The governor's office pointed out legislators provided no funds for the Department of Public Safety to carry out the study.
North Carolina Farm Bureau backed the E-Verify change in part because the 90-day exemption doesn't meet the needs of diversified farms and greenhouse and turf operations. All North Carolina employers with at least 25 workers must use the system to check new hires.
"We had hoped that Gov. McCrory would have allowed the legislation to become law," bureau President Larry Wooten said in a release.
The welfare bill would have directed state HHS to administer a drug test to any applicant to or recipient of the Work First welfare program who the agency "reasonably suspects is engaged in the illegal use of controlled substances." A person who tests positive for drugs would have to pay for any substance abuse program or drug retest should they want to reapply for benefits soon.
The current law already requires local social service agencies to screen for substance abusers and potentially help with treatment, but no drug testing is required. Supporters of the bill said people with drug problems shouldn't be getting money from the state they could use to buy drugs instead of food and clothing for their families.
McCrory's office said drug testing in welfare programs in Utah, Arizona and elsewhere "proved to be expensive and ineffective at catching drug abusers."
McCrory now has 35 bills on his desk that he must decide by Aug. 25 whether to sign, veto or let become law without his signature. He has already signed several high-profile bills since the legislature adjourned three weeks ago, including tougher rules on abortion, loosened regulations on carrying concealed weapons and a wide-ranging election overhaul measure that requires photo identification to vote in person.
The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, which helped sue McCrory this week to challenge the new elections law, praised the governor Thursday for his veto of the drug-testing bill.
The measure "would have opened the door to costly and unnecessary government intrusions into the physical privacy of North Carolinians who need public assistance to care for their families," said state ACLU executive director Jennifer Rudinger.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

SOURCE: Author Daniel Milstein
January 31, 2013 16:33 ET
ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwire - Jan 31, 2013) - Daniel Milstein, founder of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group and best-selling author of "The ABC of Sales," launches his new memoir, "17 Cents and a Dream," http://tinyurl.com/bb4v4we, Feb. 3.
In a nod to the hunger he endured as a young U.S. immigrant, he's lowering the price of his Amazon e-book from $9.99 to 99 cents from Feb. 3-10 and donating all proceeds to charities fighting childhood hunger here and in his native Ukraine.
"It's hard to believe that anyone in golden America can be hungry, but that's the reality," says Milstein, who recalls many days as a teenager when bananas were his only food.
His story includes a contemporary account of frightening Soviet oppression following the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion in 1986. His family lived nearby in Kiev but the government told no one what was happening.
Eventually, Milstein's beloved grandfather, a doctor, was ordered to tend victims at Chernobyl. That, writes Milstein, was a death sentence.
"Between the repressive government and the rampant anti-Semitism, my parents decided there was no future for their sons there," Milstein says.
So the family sought U.S. asylum, leaving with one suitcase and $75 each, per Soviet rule. Daniel also carried illegal riches -- 17 cents given to him by a friend to mail a letter.
What came next was abject poverty. Milstein's parents spoke no English and could find only temporary work. When Milstein landed a custodial job at McDonalds, he saw opportunity.
Relying on determination and work ethic, he eventually became the No. 1 mortgage originator in the country and CEO of an award-winning company.
"Daniel has a very gentle way of telling us of his life and troubles… without complaining or going on about how unfair some of those events have been," writes Amazon reviewer Oleg Medvedkov. "Instead, we see how a very disadvantaged kid used his determination to have a better life for himself and his family."
About Daniel Milstein
Daniel Milstein is CEO of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group, www.goldstarfinancial.com, named a Top Workplace in Michigan for four years. He has been recognized as the nation's No. 1 loan officer. He is the author of "The ABC of Sales," the No. 1 sales book on Amazon.com in 2012. Milstein holds a bachelor's in Business Management and honorary doctorate from Cleary University in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Getting To Know Us: Greg Dulli, Shearwater, The Baptist Generals
Another week is already on top of us, June's entering its awkward tweens, and we've got another issue of Getting to Know Us, the weekly column in which we go on and on (and on) about a few of the artists playing our self indulgent 25th anniversary party (the Sub Pop Silver Jubilee—July 13th—Seattle), with the tedium of proud parents in an effort to acquaint/reacquaint you with the artists playing. This week, we're going to tell you all about Greg Dulli, Shearwater, and The Baptist Generals.
Among Sub Pop's many prodigal sons, Greg Dulli stands out because we've been fortunate enough to be able to work with him on not just one, but three different projects: The Afghan Whigs, The Gutter Twins, and most recently, The Twilight Singers; each sonically unique unto themselves yet somehow all clearly branded "Dulli"—all with truly astonishing releases. Greg Dulli is going to have an unparalleled depth in which to pull songs from, so a performance from him is likely to be a multi-decade-spanning trip from the past to the present with stops everywhere in between—we're excited to board any ship with Greg Dulli at the helm—it's going to be a great ride. Watch the video for "On The Corner", from Twight Singers' 2011 Dynamite Steps to hear what we're saying.
Shearwater's prolific career has been on high speed for over a decade, but we've only just recently been lucky enough to work with them having released their seventh full-length record, Animal Joy, in 2012. Without a background in poetry, it's difficult to accurately describe exactly the sound that Shearwater has so developed over the years—dark with a healthy dose of pirated optimism?—yikes, that's not it. Check out their cinematic video for "You As You Were", my personal favorite Shearwater song.
The Baptist Generals hold the Sub Pop Records record for longest time span between debut and sophomore record—No Silver/No Gold and Jackleg Devotional to the Heart—2003 and 2013, respectively; a full decade. It's no small feat reintroducing a band to a generation of music listeners and record collectors who were forced to move on after the long wait, but upon our first hearing Jackleg, there was no question that we had to share this record with anyone and everyone who we could play it for, which is to say, it may have been a long time, but The Baptist Generals sound is as good as ever. They're like the Meryl Streep of Denton, TX-based musicians. To hear proof of this well-aged sound, listen to "Broken Glass."
With last Friday's announcement expanding the already get-here-July 13th-no-matter-what caliber lineup for The Silver Jubilee to include METZ, King Tuff, Built To Spill, Chad VanGaalen, and brand new Sub Pop artists, clipping., this festival is shaping up to be the best we've ever been to—here's to hoping you can join us.

How To Make a Killer Strawberry Milkshake
It's hot out, so let's get down to basics: A good old-fashioned strawberry milkshake. Why eat dinner when you can drink a shake? This is a serious strawberry milkshake, too; it isn't messing around. It doesn't involve anything fancy, anything difficult. Nothing "gourmet." This tastes like pure strawberry, not too sweet, but not too milky either. Creamy, thick, pale pink, just strawberry-strawberry-strawberry — all as it should be. Here's how to make your own. Don't you want a sip?
I adore a good strawberry milkshake, but I almost never drink them. They tend to be extremely disappointing. Fast food milkshakes are fake-flavored, dyed pink, worse than bad. No, no, no. And yet homemade shakes often let me down as well. In ill-inconceived attempts to make them "healthier" people water them down with milk, or up the quotient of strawberries, until they are just sharp and icy. Now, smoothies are well and good, but when I want a milkshake, it needs to be a milkshake, OK? It's an occasional indulgence, and therefore it needs to indulge. Got it?
I feel like I finally figured it out, my perfect strawberry shake. It's not groundbreaking; there's no gastronomic secrets here. But it delivers the goods. This is no fake-flavored strawberry, but it doesn't have icy chunks of strawberry in it either. It is just totally all strawberry, all the way.
The key, as all milkshake devotees know, is the ice cream. I like to use ice cream that doesn't have any eggs in it; I find that the custard taste distracts from the purity of the other flavors. For this shake, I prefer the simplest Breyer's formulation — just milk, cream, strawberries, sugar.
And for the berries, you hardly need me to tell you: Get them ripe, get them fresh, make sure they are sweet as can be. Happy slurping; if you love strawberry milkshakes I hope you get to try this one soon. It's pretty killer.
What You Need
1/2 pound fresh strawberries, plus more to garnish
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 to 1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon malted milk powder OR regular powdered milk (optional)
1 pint strawberry ice cream
1. Gather your ingredients. Make sure you are using excellent strawberry ice cream. No fake flavors! No dye! If you have it, pull out some powdered milk or malted milk.
2. Hull the strawberries and slice them. Sprinkle the sugar over them and stir in the vanilla. Put the strawberries in the freezer for about an hour.
3. Put two pint glasses (or four smaller glasses) in the freezer to chill.
4. When the strawberries have frozen solid, pull them out and put them in the blender with 3/4 cup milk. (Make sure you scrape in all the syrupy juice that has accumulated at the bottom of the bowl.) Blend until the strawberries are pulverized. There should be no big chunks left at all.
5. Add the malted milk powder and blend. (Note: The malted milk powder gives just a bit of extra depth and a hint of malty flavor without turning the shake into a true malt. If you opt to use regular powdered milk this also will just add a bit of richness and creaminess. But the powders are not necessary.)
6. Take the blender jar off the motor, and add the entire pint of ice cream. Stir it into the milk and strawberries by hand. Put the jar back on the motor and blend thoroughly. If it won't blend very well or gets stuck, carefully add as much as 1/4 cup more milk. Stir or shake if necessary.
7. Pour the milkshake out into the chilled glasses and garnish with strawberries. Slurp immediately!
Additional Notes:
• This makes 2 large or 4 small milkshakes (about 32 ounces).

Self-confidence is vital to be successful with many endeavors in our day-to-day lives. Perhaps it's just human nature, but people are instinctively drawn to individuals who are confident, secure and in command.
Self-confidence is vital to be successful with many endeavors in our day-to-day lives. Perhaps it's just human nature, but people are instinctively drawn to individuals who are confident, secure and in command.
As it applies to a job search, there is also a direct correlation between the confidence level of a job seeker and how well he progresses with his quest. How you feel about yourself and the image you convey during the search process directly influences your success or failure.
Many people avoid those tasks that can elevate the bar above mediocrity because of their lack of self-confidence. Although it may manifest in many ways (including procrastination), the lack of self-esteem precludes a job seeker from taking actions that can make a real difference in his life and career.
A lack of self-confidence can literally steal your future if unchecked. For an active job seeker, it may translate to a rather arduous and futile journey. Committing and taking action is the ultimate cure for a lack of confidence. For starters, focus your thoughts on what you desire to be instead of what you fear you might become.
I interface with many job seekers who, confused and in a state of consternation, wake up in their midlife only to realize that their ideal job or career level has yet to be attained. They recognize that they've spent their last 30 years in a state of procrastination — delaying what they should have pursued many years ago. Depressed and exasperated, they display signs of what is generally referred to as a midlife career crisis. On a positive note, it is never too late to reinvent yourself in the pursuit of your dreams.
All too often, the job seeker is his own worst enemy. If you lack self-confidence (despite being armed with an inspiring resume and LinkedIn profile), the simple thought of a job search can be intimidating. Never be self-deprecating. How you feel about yourself comes across in everything you do. Your unease is easily detected when by others, especially a discerning hiring manager.
When taking responsibility for your actions, you empower yourself to define your career as you envision it. To accomplish this, it's important to maintain a positive mind-set. Empowering yourself means taking pride in the positive results you have achieved throughout your career, ensuring your discussions with a recruiter or hiring manager start out on the right foot.
It requires resolve (and perhaps coaching) to re-emerge as a confident person. This transition doesn't occur overnight. If you achieve it, however, you will not only improve your career opportunities, but also will experience the benefits in your social circles.
Challenges are a part of our lives. Seek solutions instead of indulging in self-pity, which will not solve problems nor facilitate a constructive resolution. Armed with self-confidence, your job search may be an incredibly positive experience. Without it, the results are often disappointing. Success is a career ladder ascended when you are secure and in control.

Hate comments on Decayonnet
I'm totally fine if you don't agree with the things that I said here. I can't expect everyone to agree with me. I'm always open to debate if you talk nicely. If I don't agree with you at the end of the day, then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
But disagreeing and insulting is 2 different thing. You disagree with someone doesn't mean that you need to insult the person's character. Once your comments comes together with person insult, I stop listening and treat you words like fart.
I'm seriously sick of all these hate comments out there. Why? If you don't like the things I write, why bother coming? Get a life. Go visit porn sites or something.
I've decided not to reply to all those hate comments. I know some of you guys. You all really second to none. Why? Dare to insult me, but no balls to reveal your real name? Go ahead and insult me if you like. I won't bother to delete your comments too. Let the whole world see how stupid you guys are.
And to the Anonymous

Investors might be interested in how sell-side analysts are viewing shares of American Assets Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AAT). Taking a peek at the current consensus rating, we can see that the ABR is 2.2. This average rating is provided by Zacks Research. This simplified scale ranges from one to five which translates brokerage firm Buy/Sell/Hold recommendations into an average broker rating. A low number in the 1-2 range typically indicates a Buy, 3 represents a Hold and 4-5 indicates a consensus Sell rating. In terms of the number of analysts that have the stock pegged as a Buy or Strong Buy, we note that the number is presently 3.
Investors may be looking at all the different factors that come into play when searching for those next stocks to add to the portfolio. Maybe there are some names that have been on the radar, but the timing hasn't been right to add them into the mix. As we get closer to the end of the year, investors may be looking back at individual stock performance over the past year. They may discover some great opportunities that weren't available during the last review. Investors may also be keeping an eye on which sectors were the big winners during the latest earnings season. Branching out into new areas may help give the investor some alternative ideas for the next few quarters.
Shifting gears, we can see that the current quarter EPS consensus estimate for American Assets Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AAT) is .49. This EPS estimate is using 3 sell-side analysts polled by Zacks Research. For the prior reporting period, the company posted a quarterly EPS of .53. As we move through earnings season, all eyes will be on the company to see if they can beat analyst estimates and show improvement from the last quarter. When a company reports actual earnings numbers, the surprise factor can cause a stock price to realize increased activity. Investors and analysts will be closely watching to see how the earnings results impact the stock after the next release. Many investors will decide to be cautious around earnings releases and delay buy/sell moves until after the stock price has steadied.
Viewing some popular support and resistance marks on shares of American Assets Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AAT), we can see that the 52-week high is presently $42.81, and the 52-week low is currently $31.72. When the stock is trading near the 52-week high or 52-week low, investors may be on the lookout for a potential break through the level. Looking at recent action, we can see that the stock has been trading near the $42.81 level. Investors may also want to track historical price activity. Over the past 12 weeks, the stock has changed 9.6%. Looking further back to the beginning of the calendar year, we note that shares have moved 11.95%. Over the previous 4 weeks, shares have seen a change of 9.66%. Over the last 5 trading sessions, the stock has moved 5.03%. Investors will be monitoring stock activity over the next few days to try and gauge which way the momentum is shifting.
Wall Street analysts tracking shares of American Assets Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AAT) have been closely monitor company activities and fundamentals. They often create research reports to assist with investment decisions. On a consensus basis, analysts have set a target price of $41.33 on the stock. This number may be different from the First Call consensus target estimate. Analysts that routinely cover the company may use different techniques in order to create a future target price. Because of the different methods, price targets may differ greatly from one analyst to another.
It can be very difficult to keep emotions on the sidelines when making important investing decisions. Even if all the number crunching is done unemotionally, there may be a tendency for those feelings of excitement or dread to creep in. Once the trade is made, it can be super difficult to make sane decisions when markets go haywire. Investors may have made some trades that didn't pan out as planned, and they may have the itch to sell quickly in order to stop further losses. Selling a stock just because it is going down or buying a stock just because it is going up, might lead to portfolio struggles in the future. Obtaining a grasp on the bigger picture may help investors see through the cloudiness and make clearer decisions when the time comes.

ACME Baseball: Minster sets up rematch with Wapak
MINSTER — Jay Eilerman and the Minster ACME baseball team did almost everything needed to move on in the district tournament in just the first inning.
Eilerman threw a no-hop strike from centerfield 275 feet away to a spot near the plate to gun down a Fort Loramie baserunner, and he then doubled and tripled in the first inning to spearhead a seven-run top of the first for Minster.
The Wildcats' pitching took it from there in Minster's 7-3 win over Fort Loramie on Thursday night at Hanover Street Park.
"It was a good first inning by Minster," ACME coach Mark Wiss said. "We put seven runs up and a little pitching and defense."
The victory sets up yet another match-up between unbeaten Wapakoneta and Minster in a rematch of last Friday's sectional title game. Minster will need to beat Wapak twice tonight to advance to the best-of-three district finals against the winner from the Coldwater bracket. Wapak needs just to win one of the two to move on.
Fort Loramie bows out of the ACME tournament with the loss.
Eilerman finished the game 3 for 4 with two runs batted in, a run scored and was a home run shy of the cycle.
Along with Eilerman's two extra-base hits in the first, the bottom three hitters in the Minster order — Matthew Trushaw, John Baumer and Jacob Wuebker — delivered RBIs. Eilerman capped off the seven-run first with a triple over the head of the left fielder to bring in two more runs.
Baumer was 1 for 3 with an RBI single to left field. Wuebker went the other way with a looping liner down the first base line that scored two in the first.
Minster used a combination of starting pitcher J.R. Nixon and reliever Trushaw to hold Fort Loramie to three runs on five hits. Nixon pitched five innings, giving up two runs on five hits. He struck out two and walked one. Trushaw worked two innings giving up a run on no hits. He struck out one and walked three.
Tonight's game between Minster and Wapakoneta starts at 6 p.m.

Two small planes have collided in midair over central Germany and crashed, killing seven people, police say.
The collision happened near the small town of Woelfersheim, north of Frankfurt, as darkness fell around 4.15pm on Saturday (0215 AEDT on Sunday), police in Friedberg said in a statement.
The aircraft crashed into neighbouring fields, about 365m apart.
It wasn't immediately clear where the aircraft came from or where they were headed, and there was no information on the victims' identities.

Markham is on the road to becoming a bicycle-friendly community by developing a network of almost 400 km of on and off road bicycle routes. This initiative is guided by Markham's Cycling Master Plan, developed with the assistance of a citizen committee - the Cycling and Pedestrian Advisory Committee - and with additional input from interested residents. When complete, the cycling network will include on-road signed routes and bicycle lanes, and off road multi-use pathways.
Cycling is a great way to get around Markham! Get your Markham Cycling Map of dedicated bike lanes to get you where you want to go. Look for the "bike route" signs installed on local streets and motorists, please remember to "Share the Road" with cyclists.
