Scottish Terriers, like all living creatures, are subject to congenital, hereditary, and acquired health disorders. Thanks to antibiotics and vaccines, most of the problems that result from these causes can be treated effectively. The most serious health problems your dog will face are genetic. Scotties are fortunate to have few serious genetic problems compared to other breeds. Responsible breeders are working hard to manage these problems in the Scottie Gene pool. Here is some information about the most common genetic health problems seen in the Scottish Terrier. These are not in any particular order in either frequency or seriousness.
Scottie Cramp is the most wide-spread hereditary disorder in the breed and it is also the least serious, from the dog's point of view. Affected dogs are normal at rest and exhibit normal ability to walk until they are stressed. Common stimuli are exercise, hunting, fighting, or courtship. As the dog's level of stress increases, his gait begins to change. The forelegs move out to the side and forward rather than straight forward, called winging. The spine in the lumbar area may arch and the rear legs begin to over flex. If the excitement or exercise continues, the dog begins to exhibit a "goose-stepping" gait. If the dog is running, he may somersault and fall. Severely affected dogs may find their ability to walk or run completely inhibited. This is not a seizure. There is no loss of consciousness. As soon as the stimulus abates, the symptoms disappear almost immediately.
The severity of symptoms in affected dogs varies widely as does the amount and type of stimulation necessary to elicit clinical signs. The symptoms appear to be caused by a buildup or depletion of some chemical compound in the dog's central nervous system, most probably serotonin. In layman's language, the signal from the brain telling the dog how to run gets garbled in transmission on its way to the various muscles. The Scottie's muscles are not cramping and he is not experiencing pain. He has just temporarily lost the ability to coordinate his movements.
Scottie Cramp is present from birth, but it often takes the eye of an experienced breeder to spot it. Affected dogs soon learn to anticipate the onset of cramping and abruptly stop running or playing. By the time such a puppy is grown, he may never exhibit any signs at all. Similarly, an affected dog with a very laid-back personality is less likely to exhibit symptoms than a more hyperactive Scot.
Scottie Cramp is a permanent condition, but it does not worsen with age. Nearly all dogs affected with Scottie Cramp make perfectly wonderful companions, able to share virtually all activities with their families. Treatment is seldom necessary but, in severe cases, Vitamin E, Diazepam and Prozac have all proven to be effective.
Von Willebrand's Disease (VWD) is the name given to a group of similar inherited bleeding disorders that occur in humans, pigs, dogs and rabbits. VWD is usually less clinically severe than hemophilia and is inherited as an autosomal trait. This means that it can be transmitted equally by and to both sexes.
Carriers are asymptomatic but affected dogs may exhibit any of the following symptoms:
A simple DNA test to detect Von Willebrand's Disease is now available from Vetgen.
Go to Vetgen's page on VWD and Scottish Terriers!
Cushing's Syndrome is a collection of symptoms caused by an excess of a hormone called cortisol. There are three main causes of Cushing's Syndrome: a tumor on the pituitary gland; a tumor on the adrenal gland; or veterinarians who over-prescribe corticosteroids to treat itching skin. It is, as yet, unknown whether there is an inherited predisposition to Cushing's Syndrome in Scottish Terriers.
Cushing's Syndrome is usually treated successfully with a drug called Lysodren. Surgery is rarely recommended and radiation therapy, used in humans, is very expensive and rarely available for dogs.
Hypothyroidism is an underproduction of hormones by the thyroid gland. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
It is important to determine the exact cause of your dog's hypothyroidism before embarking on a course of treatment. Your veterinarian must run a full thyroid panel and have the blood tested at a laboratory which uses canine thyroid values. Do not be tempted to start thyroid treatment without proper veterinary supervision. The balance of the endocrine system is critical to your dog's health and you can cause an otherwise healthy thyroid gland to atrophy by giving medication improperly.
Seizures may be caused by a number of conditions, including low blood sugar, brain tumor, heat stroke, poison, nutritional deficiency and distemper. Classic or idiopathic (meaning "of unknown cause") epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures with no active underlying disease process occurring in the brain. This form of epilepsy is not usually seen until a dog is mature, usually between three and five years of age.
In a typical seizure, the dog will salivate excessively. There is usually dilation of the pupils and stiffening of the limbs. The dog may arch its back and paddle its legs. Frequently, the dog's temperature will spike up three to five degrees. Urination or defecation may accompany or follow the episode. Seizures usually last only a minute or two, but severely affected dogs may have longer and more frequent episodes. Dogs who have infrequent seizures do not require treatment. When treatmen is required, phenobarbital, dilantin and primidone are frequently used.
In recent years, there seems to be an increase of reported seizures in Scottish Terriers. While some of the increase may be due to environmental hazards, inherited epilepsy has definitely made inroads into the Scottie gene pool.
Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO) is an inherited disorder characterized by an abnormal growth of the bone of the lower jaw. CMO usually appears between four and seven months. A puppy with CMO usually pulls away, flinches or screams with pain when his mouth is examined, depending on the severity of the disease. Other early symptoms are lethargy, fever and unwillingness to eat. An acutely affected puppy may be unable to open his mouth but mild cases may be misdiagnosed as teething problems or virus symptoms. An accurate diagnosis of CMO requires X-ray confirmation.
CMO is nearly always treatable. Mild cases respond to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or while acute cases may require the use of steroids such as prednisone or prednisolone. Fortunately, as the dog matures, the abnormal bony growth abates and is often undetectable in the adult dog, even by radiography.
To date, liver shunts have been reported in fewer than a dozen dogs but there are several lines that have displayed the problem. Most of what we know about liver shunts comes from research done on Yorkshire Terriers, a breed where this problem is widespread. While we know that the problem is inherited, the mode of inheritance is unknown. Vets at the University of Missouri School of Veterinary Medicine have been working trying to answer this question with a colony of Yorkies with repaired liver shunts but have been unable to get any of the bitches pregnant. The Scottish Terrier Club of America is now looking into the possibility of developing a DNA test to detect the carrier status of this problem.
Liver shunt can be difficult for a breeder to recognize but is easily diagnosed with a bile acid test. Affected puppies are normally small and unthrifty. After eating, they can exhibit bizarre behavior caused by a buildup of ammonia in the bloodstream. Surgery can normally correct the condition, depending on the location of the shunt, but it's not always completely effective and it's very expensive, often running into thousands of dollars. Geneticists recommend that dogs who produce liver shunt should not be bred again and that the siblings of an affected dog should also be spayed/neutered.
To date, only a few Scotties have been affected by juvenile cataracts. In Miniature Schnauzers, congenital juvenile cataracts are caused by a simple autosomal recessive gene- so it is likely that this is the case in Scotties. In other words, both parents must be carriers. Careful breeding can help limit, or even eliminate this from Scotties.
Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) is an inherited disorder causing death of Purkinje cell in the cerebellum. The disorder is seen in several canine breeds and other species including humans. In the Scottish Terrier, the disorder has an median onset of 7 months. The disease often has progressive deterioration in gait, but not in all cases.
Generally, the affected dogs appear normal when walking. However, they show hind limb ataxia when going up or down stairs. As the disease progressed, owners report dogs show noticeable gait abnormalities in all 4 limbs. It becomes progressively more difficult for dogs to negotiate stairs and they lose contol of their pelvic limbs when running.
The assumed mode of transmission is an autosomal recessive trait. However no gene or genes have been isolated to cause the disorder.!--
The Scottish Terrier is not immunce to cancer. The breed is succeptable to many forms.
The most common is bladder cancer – or, more properly, Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC). This particular cancer is very aggressive and has no known cure.

You know, I like this concept! Maybe it could do with a couple of tweaks, like making the challenge criteria more specific or exotic -- taking advantage of the fact that this is a "metagame" and doesn't necessarily have to conform to the achievement metrics that DD itself lays out for you.
Off the top of my head, you could place an arbitrary restriction on the types of enemies killed, or their order ("no wraiths", "kill all bosses in a row"), et cetera
Give this a go again with some more advanced warning, I have my doubts about enough people looking in to see this particular thread right away (even I didn't check until now )

Let Us Reflect
What started out as just a rehearsal date for two aspiring musicians became quite a journey. Classically trained violinist
Josie Quick
and long-time rock guitarist
Tom Carleno
have a unique association. Yes, they are partners in life, but that is not all of it. They have an exceptional sense of balance. Balance in composition, in performance, in timing, and in objectivity. You can hear it in every note, every nuance, every press on the fretboard, and every draw of the bow. Balance.
Their band is called
Perpetual Motion
and the new album is called
Rear View
. There are not a lot of violin/guitar duos out there. I checked. The unique combination of sound makes their songs fuller and harmonically richer. Rear View is a retrospective of Josie and Tom's music stretching back more than two decades. Over the years their style has metamorphosed into a wonderful "classical compliments jazz" experience. You can hear multi-genres in their music, but every song is a celebration of their time together. I've tried to make comparisons of their music to someone else, but frankly, the music is distinctive as far as tone and delivery go. Just barely, some earlier works of Penguin Cafe come to mind.
The tune
opens the show and what an animated tune it is. The music moves forward like a traveling feast. There is a feel of exuberance and elation. It would suffice as the theme song to any day you planned that had sunny skies and dusty back roads. It is the song for a new day.
Race of the Dolphin
Tom offers some great fretwork and Josie's violin adds the momentum for a sea adventure. Imagine if you will a sailboat out in the Pacific, the wind steady, the skies bluer than blue and the rush of briny water against the bow. Suddenly you are joined by a pod of dolphins who race with the boat, treating it like a nautical game. Every jump is a joy, every plunge a delight.
The sound of exotic birds and bustling insects opens the track
Jungle Spirits
. It has a Latin Jazz feel as do many of the other cuts on the recording. The hottest part of the day becomes the hottest music on the recording. The sinuous play of the violin intertwines with the acoustic guitar to make a pas de deux, jungle style. Josie's violin melody adds just a tang of mystery to the song.
The temperature suddenly shifts from hot to cold as we hear the muted ballad,
Northern Lights
. The terrain is stark and white for miles. The sun has deserted the sky and just when you think the earth completely lacks color you see the northern lights. The eerie, pale green-blue radiance is calming to the spirit, encouraging to the body, and soothing to the soul. This music, more so. The earth is full of magic.
Not everything that catches dreams is made from a willow hoop and leather thongs.
is a favorite on Rear View. Its invisible musical web spreads out and latches on to every hope and dream you hold inside. Tom and Josie's tune has the timeless feel of lazy days and friendly nights. It is a lighthearted song that allows the mind to wander, boundless and carefree.
Pasion de la Luna
had that animated Gypsy Swing vibe that would make Django Reinhardt happy. The moon makes humans do crazy things, but this particular moon's silvery light is the spark for romance. Looking into those deep brown eyes would make the strongest heart swoon, but holding that person close and dancing together, well that a whole other experience.
Jakeob's Pond
was a likable, quirky tune and it quickly became a favorite. It has almost a Celtic intro, but then it transposes into something like Americana or folk. As I listened to the high-spirited concord, the thoughts of frogs and swallows, squishy mud between your toes, and a fun filled afternoon came to mind. It is the kind of day that makes nothing, but great memories.
All thirteen songs on Rear View seem to have a life of their own. Each song is a chapter that celebrates a union of hearts, minds and talents of two people that have music running in their veins. And all with the common element of balance. Let me close with the words of the poet Bob Dylan who said, "Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for any one, but inspire them?"
We are inspired.

Exclusively from Skybound, Robert Kirkman's imprint at Image Comics, and Diamond Comic Distributor, Monopoly: The Walking Dead Survival Editiongame is now available to purchase in comic book specialty shops. Based off The Walking Dead comic from Kirkman, the game put a post-apocalyptic spin on the traditional Monopoly, giving fans the opportunity to live out the comic by fighting for their own property, and avoiding zombies with each players turn.
Monopoly: The Walking Dead Survival Edition delivers a classic Monopoly game play. Players fight for, and then must fortify the prime real estate and resources that will sustain their lives. The game takes over the characteristic of The Walking Dead as the properties all correspond with the series landmarks such as the prison cells, Greene Family farm house, Woodbury, and more locations, while game tokens resemble key items from the series such as Rick's sheriff hat, bucket of body parts, the telephone, and the R.V.
Instead of using money to purchase property, players must trade in essential supplies, such as food, ammo, and fuel, to gain more territory on the board or to place a guard tower or wall instead of the standard houses and hotels, to secure their properties from invading zombies. This game features six collectible tokens and optional speed play.
Additional The Walking Dead merchandise, including comics, apparel, toys and, collectibles, can also be purchased at comic book stores or through Diamond's Previews catalog.

WQ317, New November 1993
The flush water release device is a key component in dairy flush systems. Water release devices are usually built into, or are a part of the flush water storage tanks in flushing systems. The function of the water release device is to deliver flush water to the flush gutter at the proper flow rate for the proper length of time. Several types of water release devices are in common use in dairy flush systems.
This guide will discuss the pipeline/valve system and its application to flushing manure in dairy operations.
Valves are usually used in conjunction with large water-tower storage structures. Large pipes carry water from the storage tower to the flush gutter. Valves are used at appropriate locations in the pipeline to control flush water flow to individual gutters.
Figure 1A typical tower/pipeline/valve flush system.
Figure 1 is a schematic layout of a flush system using storage towers, pipelines and valves to flush several gutters. Use of multiple, interconnected storage towers provides more storage volume and allows feeding of the pipeline from both ends to increase flow rate through individual valves. Advantages of tower/pipeline/valve systems include:
Disadvantages of the tower/pipeline/valve system include:
Storage towers are often recycled industrial steel tanks (fuel, petroleum, etc.), 25 feet or taller and 8 to 10 feet in diameter. The relatively large depth of such tanks provides the pressure head needed for adequate discharge rates in the pipeline/valve system. Usually, only the top third to half of the tank volume is used for flushing so that maximum pressure head is available. Storage towers should always be equipped with a drain so they can be completely emptied if needed.
Pipes used in tower/pipeline/valve systems may be either steel or PVC. PVC is generally used when the pipe will be buried or not otherwise in danger of mechanical damage. The buried pipeline system should also be installed with a drain so maintenance and freeze protection can be provided. Pipes and valves used in this application are usually 12 inches in diameter or larger.
The design of a tower/pipeline/valve flush system should be based on a detailed hydraulic analysis. The most important design consideration is the flow rate required for the gutter being flushed. The pipeline system must be designed to deliver flush water at this flow rate. A detailed hydraulic analysis should take into account the hydraulic losses that occur at the required flow rate. These losses cannot exceed the available pressure head in the storage tower, or the flow rate will be reduced.
Figure 2 is a simple drawing of a pipeline/valve flush system showing the way hydraulic losses occur. The following steps outline a procedure that might be followed in developing the hydraulic design of a typical system.
Figure 2Typical hydraulic pressure losses in a tower/pipeline/valve flush system.
The above discussion and Figure 2 represent a very simple system. Many systems may involve more than one flush tower, with water flowing through more fittings to valves or discharge points from two different directions. Such systems are more tedious and time-consuming to analyze hydraulically. The services of a qualified engineer experienced in hydraulic design can be very helpful in developing a pipeline/valve flush system that will perform as intended.
Several types of valves and discharge devices are currently in use in pipeline/valve systems. However, all types of valves and discharge devices typically use a tower for flush water storage. The following discussion describes some different types of valves and discharge devices in common use for flushing dairies.
Butterfly valves are relatively simple valves that rotate to open and close like a damper in a stovepipe (Figure 3). Valve bodies are usually cast iron with seals around the stem and perimeter of the valve opening to ensure that flow is stopped in the closed position. Butterfly valves can be obtained in sizes 2 to 24 inches in diameter; however, most common sizes for dairy flushing are 12 to 18 inches. Butterfly valves are usually constructed for flange-type connections to the pipeline. Valve distributors can usually provide valves equipped for field connection to either steel or PVC pipe. Methods of opening and closing butterfly valves include the simple lever, gear operated, and automatic actuators.
Figure 3A typical butterfly valve.
With a simple lever, the lever is rotated 90 degrees to provide full valve opening. Advantages of this method are its low cost and simplicity. Disadvantages include the relatively large forces required to move the lever on larger valves and the possibility that the valve can be closed too quickly, resulting in water hammer. Some cases of burst pipelines have occurred with lever-operated valves because they were closed too quickly.
Gear-operated butterfly valves have a handwheel that is turned several revolutions to open and close the valve. This arrangement provides a mechanical advantage to reduce the force required to open and close the valve and prevents the valve from being opened or closed too quickly, thus preventing water hammer and the associated potential for burst pipes. Because of these advantages, the gear-operated butterfly valve is usually the best choice for dairy flushing applications.
Butterfly valves can be equipped with air or electric actuators to operate the valve in a powered mode, either automatically according to a timer, or manually with the "flip of a switch." These features add considerably to the cost of the valve and are generally not considered necessary by most dairy producers.
Butterfly valves are designed to be installed in a pipeline to regulate flow, and so do not provide a means of discharging or distributing water into a flush gutter. Several types of discharge/distribution devices can be used downstream from butterfly valves to discharge water into a flush gutter.
A simple means of discharging water into a flush gutter downstream from a butterfly valve is the open-pipe discharge shown schematically in Figure 4.
Figure 4Schematic of an open-pipe discharge.
The primary advantages of this arrangement are simplicity and minimal pressure head loss at the discharge point. A disadvantage of this arrangement includes poor distribution of flush water over the full width of the gutter at the upper end. For this reason, this type of discharge is usually used on narrower gutters (10 feet or narrower). Another disadvantage of this type of discharge is the relatively steep entrance ramp slope required. Such a steep slope (typically 2:1 to 3:1) may be a hindrance to animal or vehicular traffic.
A gated pipe discharge device provides more even distribution of flush water at the point of discharge into the flush gutter. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a series of holes of the proper size is cut into the top periphery of a steel pipe, and the pipe is recessed into the floor of the flush gutter so that protrusion above the floor of the gutter is limited to 3 to 4 inches. Hole size depends upon the pressure head available. The gated pipe should be hydraulically designed to provide reasonably even distribution of water over the width of the flush gutter. Advantages of this method of discharging water include even distribution, the ability to impart a high initial discharge velocity to the flush water, and the low profile of the pipe in the gutter that is easily crossed by vehicular or animal traffic.
Figure 5Schematic of a typical gated pipe discharge for flushing.
Figure 6Cross-section of a typical gated pipe discharge.
Another means of introducing water into a flush gutter downstream from a butterfly valve is the raising lid discharge. This device is a recessed concrete channel across the gutter or area to be flushed. The channel is equipped with a steel treadplate lid that is hinged along the upstream edge of the channel. As flush water is introduced into the channel, water pressure lifts the lid, and water flows out of the channel and down the flush gutter. The lid is restrained to provide the proper discharge opening size so that water is discharged evenly over the width of the area being flushed. The concrete channel is fed by a steel or PVC pipe that introduces water at one end of the channel. Figures 7 and 8 show schematically the details of a raising lid discharge. Typical width and depth of these flush channels ranges from 18 to 24 inches. The primary advantage of this type of discharge is the ability to distribute large volumes of flush water evenly over relatively wide areas. In some cases it may be desired to flush areas (holding pens, etc.) that may be 30 to 40 feet wide. A gated-pipe discharge might require a prohibitively large pipe in such cases, but the proper cross section for adequate flow can be more reasonably obtained with a recessed concrete channel. Another advantage of a raising lid is that there is no protrusion above the level of the flush gutter (except during flushing), so there are no impediments to animal or vehicular traffic, because the lid lies flat on the concrete channel except during flushing.
Figure 7Concrete flush channel with raising-lid discharge.
Figure 8Cross-section of raising-lid flush channel.
Another type of water release device commonly used in dairy flushing is the recessed valve. These devices are usually either pneumatically or manually operated and are configured to be installed entirely below the grade of the flush gutter (Figure 9). As the valve is opened, water pressure raises a discharge/distribution hood to allow water to flow down the gutter. This feature has led to these valves being commonly referred to as "pop-up" valves. These valves combine both the water release function and the discharge/distribution function in a single unit, in contrast to the butterfly valve and accompanying discharge/distribution devices discussed above.
Figure 9Schematic of a pneumatically actuated recessed valve.
Pneumatically actuated recessed valves close under air pressure, so a source of compressed air is required for operation of these valves. Because air pressure maintains these valves in the closed position, loss of air pressure will result in the valve opening (perhaps inadvertently) and emptying of the flush tower.
Recessed valves have the advantages of completely below-grade design, and the combined valve and discharge/distribution function. A disadvantage of the recessed valve is that it is generally commercially obtainable in a limited number of sizes, and so may not be precisely fitted to the flush requirements of the gutter being considered. Recessed valves may not be capable of providing adequate flow to wide (15 feet or wider) gutters. Installing more than one valve in a wide gutter and discharging both simultaneously usually is not a suitable approach unless the individual valves are fed by individual pipes from the flush tower. Discharge rate from recessed valves is most influenced by the hydraulic characteristics of the pipeline(s) feeding the valve, rather than the valve itself. The discharge rate of recessed valves is increased significantly if the valve is fed from both sides as in the configuration of Figure 1.
Another type of valve used in dairy flushing is the above-grade valve opened by a handwheel/stem arrangement similar to a globe valve (Figure 10). Similar to recessed valves, these valves also combine the valving and discharge/distribution in a single unit. Since these valves protrude above grade, and the stem and handwheel rise as the valve is opened, they have to be located to the side of the alley being flushed if vehicular or animal traffic needs to traverse the gutter. With such a side location, water is not discharged directly down the gutter as with the other release/discharge devices discussed. However, these valves should be mounted and aligned to discharge water as nearly as possible down the gutter to prevent excessive splashing and curb height requirements.
Figure 10Schematic of an above-grade valve.
The primary advantage of the above grade valve is its simplicity and ease of construction. As with recessed valves, flow rate through an above grade valve is increased significantly if the valve is fed from both sides.

You know, I absolutely love the design of the outside of their dorms. That building looks like it's composed of a good half-dozen different architectural styles.
...So all the centers have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. That's totally not suspicious at all. Really, considering how close-knit these groups seem to be, one would think they'd at least talk to their fellow successors about it beforehand... if they could. No sign of contact since then either. Yuko says they graduated, but it's sounding to me like they're using "graduated" as a blanket term for "stopped performing," with types off graduations ranging from deciding to retire to being killed in action.
At least Chieri and Nagisa were able to interact better. There's still hope. *hugs Chieri* It's ok, I still love you!

Yeah an interesting bit of information about the centers. No chance that they all just happened to mysteriously vanish by chance. Of course a variety of explanations, though if the cause came from within 0048 then it'd make more sense. The ones in the easiest position to remove those centers are those running things. Though I have no idea why they'd be doing that. Maybe the old centers are getting converted into Kiraras .
A funny little day off for everyone. No one quite had the day they'd have expected though some had it easier than others.
Hope the cook found a larger rice cooker....for his own sake .

Since numerous folks around here seem to think Nagisa is going to replace Acchan, I suspect that some time after that happens she will disappear in the same way, and the other girls will rip the secrets wide open to find her.

The disappearance seems to be more related with being a center rather than being Acchan. While I think Nagisa will likely become a center later on, maybe the next one to reach that position will be Yuuko, considering she seems to be working hard to reach that.

AKB0048 05 - Love Pheromone
I know it's been a consistent aspect of the show's character design since the first episode, but I only noticed it this week. Everyone has a heart outline in their hair. I'm not sure what to think of that. It's a unifying design, sure, but it makes them look like humanoid Care Bears.
I can always appreciate a good collection of short stories, and that's what this week was. Mimori and her pheromones made her a quick favorite of mine, even if idols are supposed to be about purity. The seeds for S4 that have been planted are almost certain to pay off down the line, and I look forward to seeing where this mystery goes. The Casa de Tomo was a little creepy. Nagisa and Chieri's friendship/rivalry was as fun to watch as ever. Not just S4, all the stuff brought up this week will probably pay off later.
I just need to tune out the hair-hearts.

In real life, Yuko is the real center right now since Acchan is leaving so having her being center in the anime is a real possibility. It would leave Nagisa to be the center and lead the trainees. That seem much better ending than Nagisa leaving the center and go to the seniors since Nagisa and Chieri was shown in the OP together.
If the center disappear....does that mean they get offer up to GodKi-P?
....Just...she have a duck lip. Gyaru/shibuya fashion crowd people think it's cute, other girls think she use it too much

If all the older members of AKB0048 (including Acchan) will die at the end of first season, then you'll cry like Chris Crocker.

As for those aspiring to become a Center... with Yuko talking about the fates of their predecessors, kinda worrying even without pineapple cake or salad.
Otherwise in general this episode left me laughing despite a bit of apprehension. And Okada got most of her homework just right with those inside jokes about the real-life members.

The trainees may become successors themselves in a near future and likely with a short space between the first and last to do so, considering the pace the story is going, with a 1 month skip between episode 4 and 5, and that the story may all happen within one year (after all they're in the fateful year 0048 XD).
On a side note, I wonder if the order the girls appear on the ED may be a hint to the order they will become successors.

well their space ship do have warps speed/warp drive
LOL if the center become human sacrifices, it would explain the shinto shrine and GodKiP sooo much.
btw...i just noticed another reference. I think the Tomochin army might be a joke about her new horrible B side song Clone lol http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=SY2DNARD1143

Too many girls in one bathroom was just lol
Girls are getting used to living together.
It's kinda ridicules that this one is more fun than Hyouka.
When I first heard about it I though it would be kinda stupid, but it just opposite.
This time it was relaxed with them just having fun.

Ah, Kana Ueda is Tomochin! I was just watching the episode again, and caught the distinctive sound of her voice during one of her conversations. I should have caught it before. Now I'm conflicted. I love listening to Kana Ueda talk, but Tomochin is one of the less visually-appealing characters in the show (in my opinion).
Four Tomochins speaking in unison is creepy, though.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I was wondering... the OP was slightly different this time around. Rather than having two lines of dialogue on a starry backdrop, it had all the trainee girls linking hands and saying "Se no, AKB0048!" I wonder why it changed.

The line up is suppose to be AKB team huddle. Even the hand pose they did in the beginning was the same
I think it's a sign to show that these girls are finally becoming an AKB trainee and will carry on the AKB0048 name.
btw~ love the refernce to Kasai Tomomi when Mimori was doing sexy poses lol
pheromones chiyuu~
tho i'm really hoping Okada would chill on the inside jokes for people that aren't AKB fans can enjoy it too lol I guess she's really an AKB fangirl...

If Okada manages to do a story in which J-Pop idols are sacrifices to a demonic musical producer, in a show financed by the real life version of said musical producer, I will acknowledge her at the greatest anime writer ever.
Of course, it's possible the clues so far are part of a massive troll a la the third ep of HanaIro.

The Lady Bisons finished third. The Bisons were fifth.
"The women really stepped up," Taylor said. "I think we sent a strong statement to beat a conference rival (Kennesaw State) with nine of our top women not competing. The women just keep getting stronger from the front all the way through the team.
"Basically, the women who raced tonight are as strong as many teams varsity seven. And we weren't that far back from Chattanooga, who is regionally ranked. Everything we are doing is exciting right now."
Host Chattanooga won both the men's and women's divisions.
Middle Tennessee State was second in the women's race.
In the men's division Kennesaw State, also from the Atlantic Sun Conference, was second. Austin Peay finished third and Alabama was fourth.
Lacey Printz was eighth, the top individual finisher for the Lady Bisons. Cortney Thomas also finished in the top 20, crossing the finish line in 14th place.
Priya Pappu was 21st followed by Ali Keith in 23rd and Caitlin Anderson in 25th place.
"All the women ran great," Taylor said. "Special praise goes to Lacey Printz who really stepped up and ran a fast and relaxed race, Cortney Thomas who just keeps getting better and better, and Priya Pappu who is improving dramatically by the day."
Katie Bunker was 28th and Miranda Klein was 29th.
Leading the Bisons was Ashton Fisher in 19th place. Cormac Carolan was 22nd. Jonathan Williams finished 2th. Andrew Jones was 29th and Ben Wright was 30th.
Rounding out the field for the Bisons were Aaron Todd (31st) and Cliff Denton (37th).
"The men have some work to do," Taylor said. "Most of the men in this group aren't racing badly per se, but it's not good right now either. They have a lot more to give, and I think they are kind of giving in.
"This is not a sport for the faint of heart. It's a sport you must push through the pain for yourself and your team in order to have success. There is no other way. These guys don't get that yet, but hopefully they will soon."
Nine of the top women and six of the top men will fly to Burlington, Vt., to race against the University of Vermont and Columbia University on Sunday at the Catamount Family Center in Williston, Vt. The men race 8000 meters at 10 a.m., while the women race 5000 meters at 11 a.m.
"Both teams have a ton of potential," Taylor said. "Right now the women are closer to realizing what they are capable of, but both have time to figure this out fully.
"It will be fun now to watch our top men and women compete in Vermont this weekend."

|Home > Documentation > Developer's guide > Tutorials > EJB applications > Container Managed Persistence with JPA
The Java Persistence API is a new programming model under EJB3.0 specification (JSR220) for the management of persistence and object/relational mapping with Java EE and Java SE. With JPA, developers can easily develop java applications that perform operations on relational database management systems using java objects and mapping. In that way, java applications developed using JPA are not only portable across different platforms, but also applications can be easily developed using simple yet powerful programming model provided by JPA. This greatly improves application maintainability against ever changing database world. JPA insulates applications from all the complexity and non-portable boilerplate code involved in database connectivity and operations.
Apache geronimo uses OpenJPA for providing Java Persistence API to Java EE applications deployed in the server. Even though JPA is a part of EJB3.0 spec, it is independent of it. Hence, JPA can be used in JavaSE, web and ejb applications in the same uniform way.
Below tutorial illustrates the use of container managed entity manager object. When @PersistenceContext annotation is used, container injects
EntityManager object to the reference. The persistence context of the entity manager is propagated along with any transaction that is currently active. If the transaction spans across components, all the entity manager object references that point to same persistence unit will have the same persistence context through out the transaction. Thus, any changes made to the entities through any entity manager reference, are seen through other entity manager references. The persistence scope of the container managed entity manager is
Transaction by default. The
transaction-type is always
JTA. That is, entity manager object is always registered with the transaction which is active when entity manager is invoked. In summary, the life cycle of the entity manager and the associated persistence context is managed automatically by the container.
The tutorial creates an enterprise application that has an ejb module and a web module. The ejb module uses
Account entity with
AccountNumber as primary key along with
OwnerName and
Balance attributes to create accounts in the
AccountDB database. The
AccountDB is created in the embedded derby database. The
AccountBean in the ejb module has the methods to create the Account entities, deposit amount into an account, withdraw amount from an account and retrieve the available balance in a account. The wed module has a servlet that retrieves source account number, destination account number and the amount from user, and performs transfer of the amount from source account to destination account.
The web module uses container injected
EntityManager object to check whether the source account has enough available balance to perform the transfer. If yes, it invokes ejb to withdraw the amount from the source account and deposits the same amount in the destination account. Finally, the servlet uses the injected
EntityManager object to print the balances in the source and destination accounts. All the above mentioned operations are performed within a JTA transaction. So, persistence context of the entity manager is propagated across web and ejb modules. Hence, any changes made to the entities in ejb module are seen in the web modules when the available balance values are printed.
In order to develop, deploy and run the application, the following environment is required.
The tutorial is divided into the following sections.
The entire application can be downloaded from this link.
1. Download Apache Geronimo2.1 and install it on the server. Look into the geronimo documentation for
2. Install the eclipse IDE and download geronimo eclipse plugin and install it on top of eclipse. Look into the
geronimo eclipse plugin documentation for instructions.
3. Create a runtime environment for Apache Geronimo2.1 in the eclipse. Look into the geronimo eclipse plugin
documentation for instructions to install a runtime for Apache Geronimo2.1.
1. Open the eclipse tool and change the perspective to Java EE by clicking on
Windows => Open Perspective => Other. It will open up Open Perspective wizard.
Select Java EE from the list and click OK button.
2. Right click on the Package Explorer and select EJB Project.
3. This will open up the New EJB Project wizard. Provide the values for Project Name, Target Runtime as given in the screen shot below. Click on Next button.
If target runtime is not setup, create a new target runtime pointing to geronimo installation directory. For more information, look at the geronimo documentation that explains setting up eclipse plugin for geronimo and setting up runtime environment. This setup is required to resolve class dependencies during compilation.
4. Select the check boxes as given in the screen shot below and click on the Next button.
5. Select the checkboxes as given in the below screen shot and click on the Next button.
6. Provide the following values in textboxes and click on the Finish button.
7. Right click on the ContainerManagedJPA-EJB project and navigate to New => Class option. Provide the
following values in the New Java Class wizard and click on Finish button.
8. Copy the following contents into
9. Similarly, create
AccountInterface.java and copy the following contents.
10. Similarly, create
AccountBean.java.java and copy the following contents.
11. As outlined above, right click on the
META_INF directory of
ContainerManagedJPA-EJB project and
persistence.xml. Copy the following contents into
12. Since we are going to use EJB annotations, the
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml will not have any declarations. The contents of the
META-INF/openejb-jar.xml file should be as below. Otherwise, modify it accordingly.
13. Finally the project
ContainerManagedJPA-EJB should like as below.
1. Right click on the Project Explorer and select New => Project. This will popup New Project wizard.
Select Dynamic Web Project under option Web. Click on the Next button.
2. Provide the values as given in the screen shot below on the New Dynamic Web Project wizard. Please note that Add project to an EAR checkbox is check to add this web project to ContainerManagedJPA-EAR created during the creation of ContainerManagedJPA-EJB project.
3. In the next screen, select the Version values as given in the below figure and click on the Next button.
4. Check on the Generate Deployment Descriptor checkbox and click on the Next button. On the next screen, configure the deployment plan as follows. After this, click on the Finish button to complete creating web project
5. Right click on the WebContent folder of the web project and navigate to New => HTML to create the index.html file as given in the screen shot. Click on the Next button and on the next screen click on the Finish button. The content of the index.html is provided below the screen shot.
6. Right click on the web project and navigate to New => Servlet and click on it.
7. On the Create Servlet wizard, provide the values as given in the below screen shot and click on the Next button.
8. Select the defaults in the next screens and finally click on the Finish button.
9. Copy the below content into the servlet
10. Right click on the
ContainerManagedJPA-WEB project and click on Properties to open Properties for ContainerManagedJPA-WEB wizard. Click on the Java Build Path and Projects tab. Click on the Add button and add
ContainerManagedJPA-EJB project. Finally, click on the OK button on Properties for ContainerManagedJPA-WEB wizard. This is required because,
ContainerManagedJPA-WEB projects looks up
AccountInterface ejb in the
ContainerManagedJPA-EJB project. To resolve the dependency during compilation, the EJB project has to be added to the build path of the WEB project.
1. Start the geronimo server and open the admin console on a browser window with the url
2. Click on the Embedded DB => DB Manager on the Console Navigation portlet.
3. On the Run SQL portlet on the right side, enter AccountDB in the Create DB textbox and click on the
Create button.
4. The above step will create
AccountDB database. On the same screen, enter the below SQL command on the SQL Command/s textarea and select AccountDB in the Use DB combo box and click on the Run SQL button. This will create ACCOUNTCME table in the AccountDB database.
5. Also insert two rows using the below SQL command.
After inserting the rows, table will look like the below screen shot.
6. We need to deploy datasource over AccountDB database for JPA. This datasource will be used by JPA to connect to database and perform DML operations. Admin console can be used to deploy a datasource over AccountDB. Click on the services => Database Pools in the Console => Navigation portlet. This will display the list of database pools currently running in the server.
7. Click on the Using the Geronimo database pool wizard link. This will open up the Database pools portlet as follows. Provide the value for Name of the Database pool as AccountDS and select Derby embedded as below and click on the Next button.
8. On the next screen, select the JAR file listed in the Driver JAR select box and provide AccountDB as the value for Database Name and click on the Deploy button at the bottom. This will deploy the data source and display the list of datasources currently deployed on the server.
9. In the eclipse, open the
openejb-jar.xml and provide the dependency to the
AccountDS. Finally, the
openejb-jar.xml should be as below. This configuration is already done in the step-12 of Creating ejb application with entities above
1. Deploy the EAR file as follows
C:\Geronimo-2.1\bin>deploy.bat --user system --password manager deploy c:\temp\ContainerManagedJPA-EAR.ear Using GERONIMO_BASE: C:\Geronimo-2.1 Using GERONIMO_HOME: C:\Geronimo-2.1 Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: var\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\SDK-May-31-2007\jre Deployed default/ContainerManagedJPA-EAR/1.0/car `-> ContainerManagedJPA-WEB.war @ /ContainerManagedJPA-WEB `-> ContainerManagedJPA-EJB.jar
22. Running the application
1. Open a browser window and hit the URL as http://localhost:8080/ContainerManagedJPA-WEB/
This page displays a html form with input fields for Debit Account Number, Credit Account Number and Amount to be Transferred. Enter the values as given in the below screen shot and click on the Submit button.
2. On the next page, several messages are displayed as below. From the messages, it can seen that the persistence context is propagated along with the transaction and hence the changes made to Account balance in the ejb is observed in the servlet when
account.getBalance(accountNumber) is called.
3. The values of the balance fields in the
ACCOUNTCME table after the transaction are as follows.

Bring the outdoors to dinner with this fragrant and colorful holder.
1. Wedge floral foam in the bottom of each pot.
2. Stuff in the boughs.
3. Write a guest's name on each garden marker and place it in the center of each arrangement.
One cup of chocolate chips should be enough to make four to six place card holders. The chocolate disks can be made up to a week ahead of time. Store them between paper towels in an airtight container.
1. Make a 3-inch circle on a piece of paper. Lay a sheet of waxed paper over the circle.
2. Place 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe measuring or custard cup. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until soft enough to stir into a smooth paste, stirring after 1 minute. Chocolate pieces won't seem melted until stirred.
3. Transfer chocolate to a small, heavy plastic bag, and snip a lower corner off the bag. Drizzle a design onto the waxed paper, within the circle pattern. Repeat for as many place settings as you need.
4. Once chocolate designs have hardened, transfer them to plates. Place a large strawberry, leaves and stem-side down, on a work surface, and cut a slit halfway through with a sharp knife. Insert place card in slit, and set strawberry in the center of the chocolate design.
When trees begin to lose their leaves, bring a touch of autumn to your table.
1. Gather leaves in the colors you want on a dry day, not too early in the day, so the dew has had a chance to evaporate.
2. Sandwich individual leaves between pieces of paper towel, then between sections of newspaper. Put a weight on top of the newspapers, and in two weeks or so, the leaves will be dry.
3. Although the dried leaves will be brittle, they will retain their shape and most of their color. Write the guest's name on each leaf with a permanent marker.
Christmas: Prop place cards made with star-shape gift tags and adhesive letters in martini glasses. Or write each guest's name on an ornament.
Kwanzaa: Ears of miniature dried corn serve as place cards when you write the guest's name on the husk.
Hanukkah: Tuck chocolate coins in a sparkling gift bag and tie with gold ribbon. Attach a card with each guest's name.
Ladies' lunch: Fashion keepsake place cards from colorful botanical papers, then adorn each with a golden stud jewelry pin or an inexpensive charm.
Family reunion: Place a small photo album, open to a photo of the guest, at each setting.
Child's birthday: Instead of a place card, write the guest's name on a chalkboard that serves as a place mat.

FLETCHER — For the second time in as many years, the North Carolina State Wolfpack Coaches Caravan rolled into town at the WNC Agricultural Center with a new coach in tow.
A year after new men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried made a stop at the Ag Center, new football coach Dave Doeren greeted club members and fans on Thursday.
After climbing out of the van when he arrived at the Ag Center, Doeren immediately made his way inside to greet Wolfpack Club members and their guests. Approximately 120 were in attendance, and Doeren made it a point to talk and shake hands with everyone.
Although he hails from the Midwest, he is no stranger to the Western North Carolina area.
"This is the part of the state where I've vacationed at and enjoyed several times with my family," Doeren, 41, a native of Kansas, said. "When I heard one of our stops was going to be in Asheville, I was really excited."
Doeren was hired in December to replace Tom O'Brien, who was released by N.C. State at the end of the season. Doeren spent the past two seasons as head coach at Northern Illinois and had a 24-4 record, leading the Huskies to back-to-back conference titles.
He takes over an N.C. State program that finished the year at 7-6 with a loss to Vanderbilt in the Music City Bowl. The Wolfpack lost 12 starters from last year's team (six on offense and six on defense), including quarterback Mike Glennon, who threw for 4,031 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2012. Only one other Wolfpack quarterback had more yards in a single season: Phillip Rivers, who threw for 4,491 in 2003.
"It's going to be a rebuilding kind of year, of sorts. I really like this group I've inherited and the new guys coming in. They are a bunch of hard-working guys who want to win. They continue to get a lot better. I'm not going to make any predictions, that's for sure. But I can't wait to get on the field in August and go from there," Doeren said.

FLETCHER — For the second time in as many years, the North Carolina State Wolfpack Coaches Caravan rolled into town at the WNC Agricultural Center with a new coach in tow.

Not to spoil anything, but I think Lenny Kravitz gets whacked this week. This will be no surprise to "Hunger Games" fans flocking to the cinematic sequel; they know every twist in the Suzanne Collins books that launched the films.
Not to spoil anything, but I think Lenny Kravitz gets whacked this week.
This will be no surprise to "Hunger Games" fans flocking to the cinematic sequel; they know every twist in the Suzanne Collins books that launched the films.
The series was written for teens, but grown-ups are no strangers to heroine Katniss Everdeen and her dangerous world. I am one of those grown-ups, a certified Team Peeta member.
And I will see the much-anticipated "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" film this weekend with my 14-year-old daughter Katie, a fellow pro-Peetan.
"The Hunger Games" books are wildly popular, as was the first movie in 2012. The sequel opened Thursday and is destined to become a box office buster.
The plot, in short: In the futuristic ruins of North America, kids are picked randomly to compete in an annual, fight-to-the-death competition. The government runs the games to remind the oppressed masses who's in charge and then televises the action as a reality show.
But impoverished teen Katniss Everdeen outwits the government, upsets the games and sparks a revolution. The books are rich in symbolism and packed with sharp political and cultural jabs. Katie has been hooked for years.
As for Kravitz? He is a rock star in real life who plays Cinna in the "Hunger Games" movies. Despite prepping Katniss for probable death, Cinna is a good guy. But, if I recall correctly from the second book, the cruel hand of fate smacks Kravitz upside the head.
This may or may not be a spoiler. I am a 45-year-old dad who can only read two pages at night before falling asleep in my chair and drooling on the dog in my lap. I think I remember Cinna's doom, but, for all I know, he could have survived, married an elephant and joined the circus. Hard to remember amid the drowsiness.
So, I am eager to see if my memory is correct when Katie and I see the film.
Yet I am more eager to share the experience with my daughter.
For teens and parents, these are good days for literature. The "Hunger Games" series is part of a growing genre of teen novels that not only tell heart-pounding stories but also challenge readers. These books, including Veronica Roth's intense "Divergent" series, thrive from a daring and spot-on assumption: Teens are smart. Very, very smart.
They know teens are able to feast on action while recognizing parallels from real life. I love these books, too, and I adore discussing them with Katie.
I cannot tell you how much my wife and I treasure our three-person book club. But seeing the subsequent films is, unquestionably, Katie-Daddy time. This is our thing, and not even bloodthirsty President Snow can quash our plans.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is getting tepid reviews at best (see our review on page 1D). Frankly, though, I don't care if it makes "Ishtar" look like "Citizen Kane." I plan to savor every arrow, every flame, every petal from President Snow's rose.
More importantly, I plan to savor every minute with my favorite movie pal.

UK firm to launch debut investment sukuk
Manama, November 28, 2011
UK-based Solum Asset Management will launch its debut 'investment sukuk' in the first quarter of next year, treating Islamic bonds as investment vehicles rather than debt instruments, its chief executive said.
Unlike traditional sukuk, which are akin to conventional debt products, the £200 million ($310 million) Student Accommodation Investment Sukuk will use equity to provide holders with an annual yield of four to six per cent, said Safdar Alam at the investment firm's launch in Bahrain.
Alam, former head of Islamic finance at J P Morgan, said the Sharia-compliant company was seeking to delink Islamic finance products from debt-heavy conventional finance.
'Our stance is that sukuk in its purest sense is an investment vehicle,' he said. 'We could go to market with this as a fund, but we've made the deliberate choice to launch it as an investment sukuk,' he noted.
He said the industry had too closely mimicked the conventional finance sector, especially in allowing sukuk to be used as debt instruments despite Islam's prohibition of interest.
Unlike a traditional sukuk, where holders bear the risk of the issuer's creditworthiness, risk in the investment sukuk will be based on the assets bought by the fund.
There is no question of recourse in case of a default, he said, as investors will own the underlying assets outright.
Issues surrounding lack of recourse in case of a default have plagued the Islamic finance industry since Dubai World property arm Nakheel's asset-based sukuk nearly defaulted in 2009.
'The question of asset-backed or asset-based is the result of sukuk being debt products. As an equity structure, it will be a true sale to sukuk holders, and they take the risk and return of the assets,' he said.
The multiple-tranche Student Accommodation instrument will have a period of between five and seven years.
Holders will provide funds that Solum will invest into income-generating student housing in Britain, which is expected to maintain strength despite the downturn in the larger real estate market.
At the end of the period, the real estate assets will be sold to another fund which Solum will create, and investors can redeem their certificates and either cash out of the investment or reinvest in the new fund.
'We expect to raise funds from investors far in excess of £200 million,' Alam said. 'But we don't want to make it too big, which becomes inefficient. We will then have another tranche shortly after the first closes to meet demand.'
The company aims to launch a second product, the £200 million UK Social Housing Investment Sukuk, in the fourth quarter of 2012, and the five-year, £500 million to £1 billion Global Islamic Liquidity Investment Sukuk in the first quarter of 2013 to provide banks with interbank cash flow from a portfolio of assets.
'In some ways, we seek to serve as a wake-up call to the industry. We want to prove that there can be a commercially viable investment option that does not rely on leverage. No leverage is used in our company or any of our products,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Leonard out for USA Basketball camp
Kawhi Leonard has pulled out of USA Basketball's minicamp and three players were added to the roster.
Indiana's George Hill, Charlotte's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart will train with the Americans next week in Las Vegas. The roster of young players now totals 29.
Article continues below ...
Smart helped lead the U.S. Under-19 team to the world championship earlier this summer.
USA Basketball says Tuesday that Leonard, who helped the San Antonio Spurs reach the NBA Finals, is rehabbing after a long season.
The Americans will practice for three days before holding an intrasquad exhibition game on July 25.

How would you feel about sponsored content on DiS?
I turned down a few things like this a few years back, but it appears to be becoming increasingly normalized (especially as banner ad revenues have dropped and dropped with cheap Google Ads and Facebook promotions bringing the price lower and lower). I haven't seen many music sites doing this sort of thing, and I obviously err on the side of caution of entering into anything that doesn't feel right, but perhaps I've been being 'too indie' about wanting to keep editorial and advertising completely separate.
Would you be ok with it? Obviously sponsored stuff would be clearly marked as such, and obviously wouldn't be things like sponsored reviews. Most of the things we've been considering doing recently have been giveaways and stuff like posting video content from brands or trailers for movies.
I ask because this article has made me rethink the concept a bit: http://www.digiday.com/publishers/does-sponsored-content-have-a-labeling-problem/
- badmanreturns, wewerewerewolvesonce, justanothersheeldz, avl06, SCROTUM, GayGuevara, monoshono, pentargo, bruised_blood, Icarus-Smicarus, JaguarPirate, PinkyBrain, heartworms, pichaelmarker, chickenbones, Lucien, joeymahone, WhiteLightWhiteCity, kostenurky, pip_, aactv, didyousayhand, jontosh2001, BMS1, HumanDog, El_Goodo, Antelope, kmart, chadders, djodell, kubrahhh, Jordan_229_2, stormcrow, fitzcarraldo, Oh_Shangri-La, sidrrrs, TheWza, Yesiamaduck, stanstubbs, Blackjack_Bauer, and coolerthantv this'd this
I wouldn't mind
Its easy enough to ignore. If it would mean finally having the site redesign up along with improved functionality then it'd be worth it.kostenurky this'd this
how do you mean?
like bands/management paying for positive articles/interviews?
We've only had emails about
- competitions
- videos
- playlists
And I had one PR firm ask if we could place a summary article about some research one of their clients had published, which seemed a bit awkward. And as per the above things, I said no.
Meanwhile, we're asked to post a lot of this sort of promotional gubbins which is newsworthy to not a lot of people, for free, at our own discretion. It's kinda amazing how much stuff people happily post in exchange for tickets and records or just feeling duty bound to promote a festival/gig/release/product launch.
Some of the phone calls I get pleading for us to share certain hashtags are some of the saddest moments of my year.
i don't think there is anything wrong with competitions/playlists at all, really?
if it fits with the output of the site (like it'd be weird if there were One Direction comps/Celine Dion playlists popping up).PickledOeuf this'd this
Wouldn't be a total free-for-all.
set up
shutuphashtags.comLofisongsaregreat this'd this
I would if I had time.
Go nuts
Pretty sure no-one actually reads it anyway.
Depends if you think readers (and therefore advertisers) value DiS's integrity.
It's very hard to do sponsored posts without seeming to compromise your ability to avoid vested interests, whether or not those views are actually compromised.
I think it's fine.
(This post was brought to via a Microsoft Natural Keyboard on a Windows 7 Professional O/S.)
That's a great keyboard
Where's the best place to buy one?
Will it allow me to continue to procastinate endlessly?
If no, booooo. If yes, do what you want!
Can only really repeat what i said when you ran this past me at the admins meeting...
if it helps raise funds to make the improvements to the site that are necessary, then do it. So long as you have control over what you run with and don't run with, it can't do much harm.
its a shame sites are having to start doing this,but it seems like an accepted(and financially integral) part of the game nowadays.vice,noisey,gorilla vs bear have been doing it for ages,so if it keeps the site up and running why not.
when i saw you're post
i asked my pal what he thought of sponsored content
he says G'vs'B had a sponsor for the polaroids section at some point,possibly polaroid or a beer maker.so thats pretty much all i know.
Most sites that I read, music or otherwise, do some form of this now
It doesn't make me think less of them....as long as it's labelled clearly. Nothing more infuriating than reading a few paragraphs into something and slowly realising it's a stealth advertorial - then you feel violated. But otherwise, no real issue
Was guna start a thread related to this
Has anyone notice all the content on pitchfork/vice's youtube channel on the springbreakers film? I imagine its all sponsored (although don't think it explicitly says so?) and I imagine whichever production company behind the film paying a bit for the content. I found some of it quite interesting/relevant to the sites, but it was quite all out, never seen it to that extent before.
I don't see an issue for DIS doing sponsored content, especially for stuff like competitions and videos. If anything is too 'sponsored' I imagine the boards would also auto regulate it pretty effectivelyAntelope this'd this
springbreakers is an actual vice production
their first movie.hence them being so full on promoting it
I would be fucking outraged
and stop using the site
my adblocker will probably block it
so fire away.
No problem so long as it fits with the ethos of the site
And it's done openly.

This Saturday, the second year of the Smyrna Craft Beer, Wine and Food Festival will hit the streets of downtown Smyrna, bringing lip-smacking, local eats, Delaware-brewed beer and wine to foodies from near and far.
This Saturday, the second year of the Smyrna Craft Beer, Wine and Food Festival will hit the streets of downtown Smyrna, bringing lip-smacking, local eats, Delaware-brewed beer and wine to foodies from near and far.
The event was cooked up in 2012, in part to bring people downtown but also to highlight some of the ethnic food within the community. This year, the festival also plans to give back.
"It's not just about showcasing Smyrna for residents and visitors," said Shirley Sheridan, one of the event's organizers. "We're also giving back and are happy to announce that we'll be able to share some of our resources and profits with the local food pantry and the Boys and Girls Club as well as two other local charities that we're still finalizing the details for."
"Finalizing the details" has taken over Sheridan's life in the last few weeks as she nails down the last elements that she thinks will help make the sophomore year of the festival a success.
"We were really happy with how last year turned out but we've added a few things that I hope people will be pleased with," said Sheridan. "For one thing, we've got a bigger shaded area so that people can get out of the sun if they want to. We've also got some new vendors who I think will compliment last year's vendors nicely."
Some of those vendors include locals like Larry Master's Glass and Hohman's peanuts but organizers have also managed to entice out-of-town artisans, too. Maurice Williams, who participated in last year's inaugural event, will be back this year with his alcohol-infused cigars; Jazzy Glass from Milford will have painted wine glasses; the Home Craft Brewing Company will be on-site with home-brewing supplies and answers to the most pressing questions about making beer at home and Pop's Rock Candles will display and sell a variety of slate rock candles. There will even be a portrait caricaturist this year, literally drawing out the best qualities of people.
And, because the kids seem to like actually having their faces painted on, there will actually be two face-painters this year. There will also be a "bouncy house" and a performance of "Jungle John's Reptile Show."
"The children are really going to enjoy the kid's corner," said Sheridan. "Aside from the face-painting and Jungle John, we've also got Ice Cream Creations set up right next to the inflatables. They'll have lots of ice cream and water ice for everybody."
However, most people will be strolling the streets for the beer, the wine and the food. Like last year, there will be several local restaurants participating. American fare from the Smyrna Diner and SportZone, traditional Irish pub choices courtesy of Sheridan's Irish Pub, Italian cuisine from Trevi Ristorante and the exotic spices of Karibbean Link will help keep bellies full.
"The food is the same this year," said Joe Sheridan, Shirley's husband and co-organizer. "All our great local restaurants agreed to come back, which means people can sample a lot of what the town has to offer in food."
Another similarity to last year is the wine selection, which will be provided by Southern Wine & Spirits and United Distributors. Last year, they were able to provide wine samples from Auburn Road Vineyards and St. Michaels Winery. This year, Shirley said that people will still be able to sample a great variety of wines.
"The wine list is our last bit of business," said Shirley. "But, I know people are going to get a great selection."
Tapping the Delaware keg
This year's festival also features six regional beer companies as well as several national names like Leinenkugal and Weyerbacker. Nationally, craft beer and home-brewing has exploded in the last several years and people now talk about and experience beer in a way that was once reserved for wine connoisseurs. People want to know about the alcohol content, the locally grown ingredients and, of course, the hops. They always want to know about the hops.
One of the six beer companies making the trek to Smyrna is 16 Mile Brewing Company, which is located in the county seat of Sussex County, Georgetown. Owned and operated by homegrown boys Chad Campbell and Brett McCrea, the guys have seen a lot of growth in the last 3 and ½ years since launching the company within the walls of the 100-year-old barn that also serves as the brewing headquarters.
Both men grew up in Georgetown and it was important to them to add to the local economy but to do something they loved as well.
"We wanted to open a small business in our hometown and we wanted to bring an original product to market," Campbell said last year. "Plus, we had strong interests in the craft beer industry that we combined with our skill sets to put together a business and make beer."
Part of the success of the business might be attributed to the number of local charities and events that the brewery tries to be a part of. The brewery provided the beer for the annual Oyster Eat and they also created a beer, Responders Ale, that gives back to gives back to the National Fallen Firefighters Association, a charity close to the heart of head brewer Michael Pfaffenhauser, who is also Assistant Chief at his firehouse in Slaughter Beach.
As the name of the company increased, so did its services. 16 Mile added a tasting tavern and holds Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m. every week. Billed as an indoor tailgating event, for a couple of hours at the end of every week, people can come by, drink a few beers, listen to some live music, and put the work week in the past.
"There's no pretension here and it's nothing fancy," Campbell said. "It's a very relaxed environment where people can come in, put their guards down, and shoot the breeze with their friends."
Campbell also said that every brewery has its own story and some level of authenticity but he is particularly proud of the developing story of 16 Mile.
"It goes back to us being from here. We're putting our names on the line and naming our business for our local history," Campbell said. "That's the backbone of what we have here. It's exactly who we are."

More Lightweight History
Harvard's varsity lightweights made the grand final in each of the first 63 years of the Eastern Sprints. Only four times has the varsity finished lower than fourth: sixth in 1955, fifth in 2002 and 2007 and eighth in 2008.
The Crimson, which won 13 straight Jope Cups from 1968-80, is seeking its third cup in five years. Harvard has swept the lightweight competition at the Sprints eight times (1958, '60, '68, '69, '70, '71, '74, '75). Yale (1950) and Princeton (1986, '98) are the only other schools to achieve that feat.
Sprinting to Success
Harvard has more Sprints titles than any other school. Adding up the six major divisions at Eastern Sprints, Harvard crews have combined to win 144 titles, including 53 at the varsity level (27 heavyweight, 26 lightweight).
Last Season at Sprints
The Harvard lightweight varsity eight took control in the second 500 meters of its Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Sprints grand final and never let up, winning the Eastern and Ivy League championships for the second straight year Sunday on Lake Quinsigamond. The top-ranked Crimson won its 26th Eastern title and 25th Ivy crown and repeated as champion for the first time since 1988 and '89. The second freshman eight also won Sprints gold, while the freshman eight took bronze and the third varsity eight claimed silver. Harvard tied Princeton for second in the Jope Cup team standings, three points behind freshman and second varsity champion Yale.

Seeing Double
On 13 occasions both the Harvard heavyweight and lightweight varsity eights won Sprints gold medals, a feat that has only been accomplished four times by non-Harvard crews. The Crimson won both divisions in 1947, '59, '66, '68, '69, '74, '75, '77, '80, '88, '89, 2005 and '11.
Gold Standard
Only 11 times in the 67-year history of Sprints and six times since 1957 has Harvard failed to win at least one major grand final. In one of those seasons (1981), the Crimson did not compete due to exams. In two others (heavyweight in 1992, lightweight in 2009), Harvard has won a team cup despite not coming away with a gold medal.
Ivy Implications
The top-finishing Ivy League varsity eights in the heavy and light divisions will win the Ivy title. The Harvard heavyweights have earned 27 Ancient Eight crowns since 1957, while the lightweights have won 25.
Crimson Invited to Sweep Camp
Alexander Bonorris and Jeffrey Rogers have accepted invitations to the 2013 Lightweight Men's Under 23 National Team Sweep Camp. The camp will be held in Philadelphia, Pa. and West Windsor, N.J., to determine the lightweight men's four that will compete at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships July 24-28 in Linz, Austria.

Chicago Tylenol murders remain unsolved after more than 30 years
CHICAGO – The unsolved investigation into the deaths of seven people who swallowed cyanide-laced Tylenol is returning to where it started more than 30 years ago, as a group of Illinois law enforcement agencies said Friday that the FBI will no longer lead the probe.
Police in Arlington Heights — where three of the victims died — announced in a news release that a task force made up of their department along with the Illinois State Police and police departments in Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Lombard, Schaumburg and Winfield will run the investigation.
The FBI will continue to "provide resources in areas of expertise as needed to support the investigation," according to the release, adding that task force will also work with prosecutors' offices in Cook County and DuPage County.
"The investigation is ongoing, and it continues to be active," said Arlington Heights Police Commander Mike Hernandez. He said the logistics about what each agency will do still has to be worked out.
Friday's announcement comes two days shy of the 31st anniversary of the day people who'd taken Extra Strength Tylenol started to die of cyanide poisoning.
In a space of three days beginning Sept. 29, 1982, seven people who took cyanide-laced Tylenol in Chicago and four suburbs died. That triggered a national scare that prompted an untold number of people to throw medicine away and stores nationwide to pull Tylenol from their shelves.
In recent years, the case has taken a number of twists. In 2009, federal agents searched the Boston-area home of James W. Lewis, who once served 12 years in prison for sending an extortion note to Tylenol maker Johnson & Johnson demanding $1 million to "stop the killing." Lewis, who along with his wife gave DNA samples and fingerprints to investigators, denied any involvement in the poisonings. After the investigation that included a seizure of boxes, files and a computer from Lewis' Cambridge, Massachusetts, home he was never charged.
Then in 2011, the FBI took a DNA sample from the so-called Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. Kaczynski, who grew up in the Chicago area and whose parents lived in the suburbs in 1982 when the Tylenol slayings occurred, denied in court papers that he ever "possessed any potassium cyanide" — the poison used — and he has not been charged. At the time, his lawyer suggested the FBI wanted Kaczynski's DNA simply to rule him out as a suspect and not because agents believed he was involved.
As for the slayings themselves, the details of the deaths of the six adults and one 12-year-old girl have faded from memory. But much like the terrorist attacks of 9/11 resulted in new security measures in airports, the poisonings resulted in additional security measures taken in the packaging of food, drink and medicine to prevent tampering.
