As he declared in the approval ratings Bush's comments are in the category of "who cares what this self centered jerk thinks" The bush clan just will never get the point, after all self indulgence is a sickness.
One could make the case that just as drugs are addictive, and require the addict to partake in more and more powerful drugs to achieve the same high, even so sexual indulgence is an addiction requiring new highs, with homosexuality, bestiality, pedophilia, etc. merely variants of the 'drugs' required to achieved said highs.
Admission officials have come to regard the signature application as a vain indulgence for a university trying to reach the broadest possible pool.
He imparts the blessing, to which a plenary indulgence is attached.
"The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of
their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at
Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being
excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the
female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of
great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter
Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another
important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake
circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper."

I sat cross-legged on my bed and called up the Hillsdale Walgreens manager. Remember me? My manager asked if I could work here during the school year?
Long story short, he said of course! Bring in your schedule when you get in town and I'll put you to work.
What. Even. I have this whole financial web I wove this summer, and this was a crucial piece. WHAMO. I'll be helping people get, stay, and be well in Michigan too. And have immediate, discounted access to Doritos.

I think we are all happy that it's a sad story and ends like a sad story with death, lonelyness, singing & no future.
Nostalgia of that anime is also part of the way I like it. I listen the soundtrack with the excellent "The Light Before We Land" by the unknown group, the Delgados. And all the other musical arrangements of the soundtrack. This sadness and nostalgia is wonderful to me.

Still, I'm not completely happy with it because...
The girls humanity pops up here and there throughout the series, that's what really tugs at your heart. But I never got the feeling that it was the "main" problem, that their humanity was in danger of vanishing. What I felt was the focus of the show was the growing inability for them to continue to live as both little girls and rutheless killing machines.
Now, thinking about the earlier episodes, I guess their humanity existing was the main focus, but that focus shifted in the later bunch. In the earlier episodes we were just getting to know them, so the question of if they were still themselves existed, but through the show we saw that it did, despite everything. The last episode just reinforced this, however, it didn't (well of course it didn't, the story goes on in the manga) resolve the problem I felt became the main conflict.
um, Cold Mountain spoilers if you havn't seen it...
ohay, so I'm browsing and I find this http://www.animenation.net/news/askj...1eb9b811d63728
pretty much sums up what I don't like, tho I don't feel as harshly toward it I don't think
I just really really hope that the manga does something, wasn't the 3rd one just released? neone read it?

I think the GSG series never even has the concepts of "winning" or "losing". On one hand, all the girls "win" because they are saved from tragic experiences and can live happily when they live, on the other hand they all "lose" for their shortened lifespan and noone treat them like normal humans. Well, think it this way, do you want to live two happy days or two hundred years of continuous suffering?

I'm afraid this may be too late to incite any discussion, but I'm here with my two cents and hopefully somebody will find out something new.
In my opinion the ending to Gunslinger Girls was beautiful. Angelica's death was one of the most elegant anime endings ever. Although the tone of the 13th episode is mildly inconsistent with the rest of the anime(no wicked action scenes, for one), it really leaves with a satisfying impression with a complex message.
I think that the The futility of the girl's life is especially exemplified in this episode.
A symbolic analogy can be made between shooting stars and the gunslinger girls. A shooting star's brightness (and importance) is transitory much like the girls' short life. However, in the short time they do exist, the leave a lasting impression upon our hearts.
The lights of Rome impede the viewer's ability to see the shooting stars. This is similar to how society's dark side impedes the viewer from seeing the humanity of the girls(shooting stars). We are unable to connect to the girl's human aspects when they are raiding terrorist hideouts or shooting up corrupt police. By moving away from the lights of Rome, we are finally able to see the shooting stars with more clarity (as well as enlightened by the girls' very human traits and emotions). The supervising adult takes note of this as well.
An interesting note is the line "We have better eyes than the average person." Does this imply that the girls are actually more sensitive to human emotions than the average person? It may be possible - their connection to the trainers is very strong. It trumps friendship, love, marriage - and it will even tolerate no love in return (though to a limited degree).
The ending is open-ended, but there is no better place to stop it than now. Gunslinger Girls focused more on characters and setting rather than plot to tell the story. The loopback to the first episode shows that their lifestyle is repetitive(the plot is good, but by no means surprising after you watch a few episodes). What the series excels in is with the fully fleshed-out characters and the "slice of life" storytelling from the girls' unique viewpoints. In this way, it does exactly what it sets out to and creates a wonderfully melancholy anime.
This reminds me a lot of the Avenger ending, another equally great series with a multilayered ending.

b. Because there is hardly anything worthwhile to post on considering I am living too far off from the newspaper or the television or "the happening crowd ".
c. Because people are not blogging much these days - that means less chance of reading some inspiring post and then to subject the world to the torture of some of my views on the same.
d. Because I hate to treat my blog as a Twitter or Facebook update column and leave behind one-liners reeking of moronic simplicity.

" Isn't Sachin the greatest batsman ever? huh? huh? huh?"

The FIA is investigating what role team boss Martin Whitmarsh played in the 'lie-gate' scandal.
The FIA is investigating what role team boss Martin Whitmarsh played in the 'lie-gate' scandal.
F1's governing body, having already summoned the Mercedes-powered team to an extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council later this month, has requested tapes from the British broadcaster BBC.
Based on the interview in question with Whitmarsh, we reported immediately after the Australian grand prix that the Briton seemed to back the untrue argument that would subsequently be presented to the stewards by Dave Ryan and Lewis Hamilton.
"Trulli took back the place under the safety car, which ordinarily you wouldn't do," Whitmarsh had said in Melbourne.
According to reports in Britain, including in the Telegraph newspaper, the FIA wants to study the original BBC recording of the Whitmarsh comments.
If its team boss backed the Ryan-Hamilton argument prior to the stewards hearings, McLaren could be accused of also lying about Whitmarsh's involvement in and knowledge about the affair.

With MMOFPS Huxley on the way, MAG announced at E3 and online cops and robbers sim APB coming too, we're finally starting to see the true variety of fun that the MMO approach can bring about. Inspired by said games, we've had a look at which existing franchises would benefit from a massive number of multiple players and detailed our plans for exactly how we'd make them work. Read on, and get those credit cards ready for your inevitable subscriptions. We'll keep them reasonable, honestly we will.
Why would it be good?
An online Zelda game wouldn't just be a damnably fine experience. It would also solve all of the franchise's problems in one fell swoop.
How would it work?
Beautifully. Think about the set-up of Hyrule as it exists right now. Multiple races with unique abilities, characteristics and territory. Ancient mystical artifacts (read: Loot) scattered about the place as if there's been an explosion in a Holy Grail factory. A whole kingdom perpetually on the verge of geological collapse due to the sheer number of caves and dungeons riddling its make-up. And this MMO-perfect tapestry is lavished upon a single hero on a rigidly linear story path? Wasteful, Nintendo, very wasteful.
Above: Imagine if every one of these people was a real, live player.
Let's have an immense and detailed Hyrule which we can explore indefinitely from the perspective of a self-created Goron, Zora, Fairy or Human. Let's turn the franchise's obsession with dungeon-crawling into an advantage by packing Hyrule with single-player and co-op instances set in said caves of puzzly death. Let's get rid of those walking signpost NPCs and repetetitive fetch quests and replace them with real, living allies and dynamic adventures. Let's have online play give the Zelda franchise the tooth-rattling shake-up it needs, and enjoy the full potential of Hyrule's richness in a way that a single-player adventure can only hint at.
By all means keep the dungeons and temples, but give us tons more - with multiple levels of quest objectives in each - and keep expanding the world through DLC. Fill the towns and cities with real people on their own, specific sub-quests. Give us puzzles which require a partner or a party to solve. Hell, even make partnering up a part of the puzzles by having some tasks require a specific combination of race-based character abilities. That would be a very Nintendo way of doing things. It would only take a few tweaks to the game's design to reinvent Zelda as an MMO, so stubborn series diehards wouldn't need fear abandonment, and the co-operative angle would fit Nintendo's philosophy down to the ground.
The more we think about this, the more it seems like the best idea we've ever had in our lives. If the next Zelda game turns out to be just yet another better-looking facsimile of its predecessors, we're going to be printing this page off and stapling it to Iwata's forehead, the first opportunity we get.
Will it ever happen?
Not with friend codes, a lack of Wii hard drive and Nintendo's policy of safe-bet similarity in its Hyrule-based games. But amore online-focusedNintendo would make this one sing.

1 The little elephant driving Big Data Despite the funny-sounding name, Hadoop is a serious enterprise software suite that drives Big Data Hadoop enables the storage and processing of very large databases in a cluster of inexpensive servers Internet companies such as Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn and many others use Hadoop to manage their databases There is a growing community of startups focused on expanding and commercializing Hadoop technology DEBORAH WEINSWIG Executive Director Head of Global Retail & Technology Fung Business Intelligence Centre New York:
2 The little elephant driving Big Data Executive Summary Hadoop represents the circulatory and central nervous systems of Big Data. Despite the funny- sounding name, Hadoop is a serious enterprise software suite that enables the storage and processing of very large databases in a cluster of inexpensive servers. Why Hadoop? We are awash in data, and the situation is likely to grow even more acute as machines, appliances and our clothing become part of the Internet of Things. Cisco Systems forecasts that the amount of Internet Protocol traffic passing through data centers will grow at a 23% CAGR to 8.6 zettabytes (that s 8.6 x bytes) during A Hadoop system has two main parts: a distributed file system that handles the storage of data across a cluster of servers (or nodes), and a management program that coordinates the storage of data and the running of programs within the individual nodes. A key distinction of Hadoop is that the individual nodes both store the data and handle processing in a parallel fashion. This provides redundancy of both storage and processing, so that if a server drops out, no data is lost and no processing is interrupted. Hadoop is based on software originally written at Google, which its author reverse- engineered and altruistically made available in the public domain as open source. That led to widespread adoption by many Internet companies and enterprises. The funny- sounding name comes from the toy stuffed elephant that belonged to the son of its creator. Hadoop s adoption built upon itself and fostered an ecosystem of Hadoop tools and add- ons. Extensions and tools for Hadoop also have odd- sounding names: Pig, Hive and HBase. A community of startups focused on expanding and commercializing Hadoop technology has also emerged. This report contains a list of 13 startups, which have raised a total of nearly $1.7 billion. One Hadoop- focused company, Hortonworks, recently raised $115 million in an IPO, and Cloudera is the next leading contender to go public, having already raised $1.2 billion. Most Internet names you know Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn and many others use Hadoop to manage their databases. Since Hadoop, founded in 2006, is getting a bit old in Internet years, other technologies continuing the tradition of odd- sounding names such as Percolator, Dremel and Pregel have emerged for handling large- scale databases. Interestingly, Google, the original creator of the underlying technology, has moved on to the aforementioned technologies and is therefore no longer a big Hadoop user. Hadoop is the little yellow stuffed animal with the funny name that powers many of the Internet services we depend on today. 2
3 History of Hadoop In the early 2000s, Google faced an immense technical challenge: how to organize the entire world s information, which was stored on the Internet and steadily growing in volume. No commercially available software was up to the task, and Google s custom- designed hardware was running out of steam. Google engineers Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat designed two tools to solve this problem Google File System (GFS) for fault- tolerant, reliable and scalable storage, and Google Map/Reduce (GMR), for parallel data analysis across a large number of servers which they described in an academic paper published in At that time, Doug Cutting was a well- known open- source software developer who was working on a web- indexing program and was facing similar challenges. Cutting replaced the data collection and processing code in his web crawler with reverse- engineered versions of GFS and GMR and named the framework after his two- year- old son s toy elephant, Hadoop. Learning of Cutting s work, Yahoo! invested in Hadoop s development, and Cutting decided that Hadoop would remain open source and therefore free to use, and available for expansion and improvement by everyone. By 2006, established and emerging web companies had started to use Hadoop in production systems. Today, the Apache Software Foundation coordinates Hadoop development, and Mr. Cutting is Chief Architect at Cloudera, which was founded in 2008 to commercialize Hadoop technology. (The Apache HTTP Server software, commonly just called Apache, is the world s most widely used software for running web servers.) What is Hadoop? According to its current home, Apache, Hadoop is a framework for running applications on large cluster[s] built of commodity hardware. The Hadoop framework transparently provides applications both reliability and data motion. The first part of that description means that Hadoop lets large banks of computers analyze data; the latter part means Hadoop has built- in redundancy that can recover from the failure of a server or a rack of servers, and the framework can process data that is changing over time. Hadoop has two main parts: Map/Reduce, which divides a large piece of data into many small fragments; this analysis can be executed or re- executed on any node in a cluster Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), which stores data within the nodes of the cluster; this file system scheme offers high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster Prominent Hadoop users include Facebook, Yahoo! and LinkedIn. We are awash in data, and the amount of data that needs to be processed will only get larger as the Internet of Things grows to include smart home appliances and other objects, including wearable technology that contains multiple sensors that generate reams of data. Figure 1 illustrates Cisco Systems forecast that the amount of Internet Protocol traffic in zettabytes passing through data centers will grow at a 23% 21 CAGR during One zettabyte is 10 bytes, or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. 3
4 Figure 1. Global Data Center IP Traffic Growth Ze$abytes per Year Source: Cisco Global Cloud Index, The SAS Institute outlines the benefits of Hadoop: It s inexpensive: Hadoop uses low- cost commodity hardware It s scalable: More nodes can be added to increase capacity and processing power It can use unstructured data: Any data type can be used It employs parallel processing and redundancy: Hadoop can process multiple copies of data and redirect jobs from malfunctioning servers Hadoop has its limitations, including: Other methods for rationalizing clusters with data center infrastructure are being developed Data security is fragmented Map/Reduce is batch oriented Its ecosystem lacks easy- to- use, full- feature tools for data integration and other functions Skilled Hadoop professionals are few and expensive Technology continues to evolve, and next- generation alternatives to Hadoop are emerging. Google, the pioneer of Hadoop technology, is moving away from Map/Reduce and is embracing other technologies such as Percolator, Dremel and Pregel. 4
5 Figure 2 shows the three key parts of a Hadoop cluster. How Does Hadoop Work? Client Machines load data into the cluster, submit Map/Reduce jobs that describe how the jobs should be processed, and then retrieve and view the results of the finished jobs Master Nodes oversee data storage with HDFS and running parallel computations via Map/Reduce Slave Nodes store the data and run the computations Figure 2.

Figure 3. Source: Cloudera Figure 4 illustrates the Map/Reduce software framework, which similarly breaks a problem into smaller pieces, which are redundantly processed, offering the ability to complete the analysis in the event of the failure of one or more servers.

7 Hadoop Components A Hadoop setup contains the following core software modules: Hadoop Module Function Common Distributed File System YARN Map/Reduce Hadoop libraries and utilities Storing data across the cluster Managing and scheduling activities in the cluster Manages data processing across multiple servers More Unusual Names in the Hadoop Ecosystem Apache Pig, Hive and HBase The success of Hadoop has sparked an ecosystem of related software: Apache Pig: A high- level platform for creating Map/Reduce programs using Hadoop Apache Hive: A data warehouse infrastructure on top of Hadoop for data summarization, query and analysis Apache HBase: An open- source, non- relational distributed database written in Java Market Opportunity IDC estimates that the worldwide Big Data technology market which comprises hardware, software and services will reach $32 billion in Gartner estimates that the global data- related enterprise software market will hit $110 billion in Of this figure, startup Cloudera projects that $30 billion represents analytical workloads and operational data stores, which stands in contrast to transactional workloads (used for analysis rather than commerce). Cloudera says that this market is the most immediately addressable by Hadoop technology, as well as one of the fastest- growing segments of the data- related enterprise market. 7
8 Who Uses It? As of 2008, many of the world s best- known Internet companies such as ebay, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, and others had already adopted Hadoop as the software foundation for their big- data processing activities. Figure 6 shows the top- 20 selected Hadoop users, sorted by the number of nodes. These nodes represent 90% of the more than 17,000 Hadoop nodes counted by Apache. Data for Hadoop users Amazon, Google, IBM, and Twitter were not available. Figure 6. Selected Top Hadoop Users 5,000 Number of Nodes 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 Yahoo!

9 Hadoop Startups Hadoop startups have been well funded by venture capitalists. Figure 7 shows selected Hadoop startups, whose funding totals nearly $1.7 billion, with Cloudera receiving more than half of the total. The company reportedly generated more than $100 million in revenue in 2014 and was recently valued at $4.1 billion. Figure 7.

Subsequently, many Internet search engines and large enterprises adopted the software. In addition, a community developed around the software, made up of tools and startups created to enhance the technology; it has led to one IPO so far. The Hadoop community continues to thrive, even though it is somewhat aged by Internet standards and some newer alternatives have emerged. That s quite an achievement for a piece of software named after a yellow stuffed elephant. 9

Republican Senator Tim Scott returned to his Charleston roots to address students, faculty and members of the community on Feb. 19 in Randolph Hall.
Scott, a native of North Charleston, was raised by a single mother and graduated from Charleston Southern with a B.S. in Political Science. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2008 and served as the Chair of the Freshman Caucus. In January, he was appointed by Governor Nikki Haley to assume Senator Jim DeMint's vacated seat, making him the first African American from the south to serve in the Senate since the 1800s.
Scott, a self-described "eternal optimist," believes "America's future is amazingly bright." He insists, "We are still the world's superpower and I think we will be for a long time to come." He attributes this status to three major American successes in the fields of technology, science and military.
According to Scott, "America stands at a place where no other country stands. We are leading a technological revolution," a powerful position for a nation that accounts for a mere 5 percent of the world's population.
On the scientific front, he believes that America is spearheading scientific research for cures for diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to various types of cancer. Scott esteems the American military as "the marvel of the world," noting that many major global conflicts have been terminated with military interference.
Although an "eternal optimist," Scott claims he is not "a blind optimist," acknowledging that as a country, "We simply are not on a sustainable path financially.
America has "the world's greatest reserves in energy," a statistic that Scott deems as an opportunity. Developing the scientific and technological aspects of this field could lower the corporate tax rate, allow for repatriation and potentially result in the creation of up to 3 million new jobs.
According to Scott, it can only get better from here.

Sam's Solo Exhibition
It has been a while since I went to a painting exhibition. The last being the retro of Syed Ahmad Jamal at the National art Gallery. Last night I was at the launching of a solo exhibition by a close artist friend of mine, Samsuddin Mohammad.
This is a second solo by Sam and was being held at the RA gallery, K.L. The exhibition comprise of recent works and works done by Sam during his colony days.
The show titled 'Melukis Citra Manusia' showcase around 50 pieces of Sam's works in oil, acrylic and pencil sketches.
Sam educated in Fine Art at the University Science of Malaysia, Penang. A highly skilled potrait artist since his Central Market days. Sam's work, apart from his skilled painterly depiction of form, have this unique feeling where he is able to bring out the personal nature or aura of his subject. His works brought us close to the subjects and let us feel as if we too are very close at heart with them. The reason might be that of Sam's nature as well.
Sam is a person who is easily loved by anybody that get to know him. A kind and caring friend. In fact to quote artist Jerry's statement when he first saw me with Sam back in the late 80's, was "Kalau sapa kawan dengan Sam tu, kira OK laa...".
Sam treats everybody as his closest friends, its like he can see the inside of you.
Yours truly with artist Sam in front of one of the pieces exhibited. What an honour!
We were together at the colony and shared the same studio for a good ten years.
We had the chance to travel to Thailand and several times to Indonesia together. In fact, we had exhibited together in a two-man show at 'Jakarta Art Festival' in 2001. It was full of fun and excitement travelling with Sam.
Good Luck Sam.
With the National Laureatte, Pak Samad Said at the show.
With painter-poet Kak Siti Zainon Ismail. A die hard Malay culture activist. So warm and friendly.
With Melor, Kak Siti's sweet daughter. Like mother like daughter.

Over the last couple of years, a number of people have asked me, in a rhetorical tone, whether I was going to change my name when I got divorced.
I have to say that it hadn't even occurred to me until they brought up the subject. And it really took me aback.
Firstly, I was surprised that I hadn't even thought about it, and secondly, I was amazed that they seemed to think it was a matter of course that I would do so.
I had no issue with changing my name when I got married. As far as I was concerned, I was forming a life-long partnership, we planned to have children and share our lives. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to share the same surname.
I am now no longer married – so it would make logical sense to revert to my maiden name. But, I have no wish to do so. And I find it odd that people should think that my identity is impaired by retaining my ex-husbands' surname.
We are all the sum of our parts. And the most significant part of my life has been my marriage and children. To me, a change of name would be like trying to erase the time spent in my marriage. It suggests regret – and I don't regret my marriage. What I regret is that it failed. But it did leave me with two wonderful children, who share not only my genes but my name and their fathers.
I almost find it sad that some women go to the trouble of a Deed Poll application, as if trying to eradicate all trace of their past.
I have no wish to eradicate mine. I wish it could have turned out differently, but life happens to us all.

If you want a good laugh (to a not funny situation) find our other posts of our experiences with EEG's. Its a good chuckle to see if Lonnie, or if I will survive without killing each other. See adults can't sleep during this time. One of us has to stay awake to make sure if Daniel makes any weird movements that we hit the button to mark the video recording.
We're not sure if Daniel is having seizures or not, but this is the time that I am going to mash that button at any strange thing that I've seen him do. Anything that might even be questionable. This way I will know for sure in the end.
He is happy now as it lays in the bed with his orange pillow, his sock monkey pj's and his Elmo blanket watching Go Diego Go. This was NOT the case when we got hooked up to all the wires today. The whole time he was getting hooked up (which took FOREVER!) Lonnie kept mouthing to me as I was holding Daniel on my lap, "WE ARE NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN!"
It is traumatic for Daniel (and us). It sucks to see him scared and screaming, with tears running down his cheeks cause he is not understanding why this person is doing this to him.
I think unless Daniel actually has a big seizure, or a notable one at least that this will be the last EEG we get for a LONG time.

We are headed for that road again, but since it is not a video EEG we get to do it as an outpatient basis. The last time it went pretty well.

I hope you get some good news! we'll be praying for Daniel, and you & Lonnie too.
How old was Daniel when you did the first 24 hour EEG? Just curious if thats in our future too?

Ugh, my heart goes out to you and your family. Especially your little man, Daniel. I know from experience how traumatic this is on both the parent and child. My son is 3.5 years old and has spastic quad CP. We dread EEG's. Sending you some prayers...

I also hope Daniel won't need another EEG for a long time, and that the report is clean.
Max is on Trileptal to prevent seizures, though as you know I sometimes freak and think he might be having seizure activity.

- Bird said...
That sounds so sucky!!!! I hate hospital time and I imagine it's a lot worse when
You know, I think we stress WAY too much over our kids and seizures. The other day Charlie made a "weird" movement and I thought he was having a seizure--yeah, we was clapping. I stress too much sometimes.

I may be going away for a few days without Internet connection, was hoping to hear about results of EEG. So if I don't check in, I will as soon as I am back.

Although he lives to be an old man he does not escape the effects of the violence he has spread throughout his life. This film is unusual in that it is was...more
