Ventral hatch to handle all the Sienar/Cygnus lambda-shuttle variants. Frees the forward hatches for fighter launch and recovery.
Leave a Reply
Thanks so much for building this vessel, Ansel. I love your interpretations of the ships from the X-wing and TIE Fighter games! The Tanfalk-class Escort Carrier is one of my favorite Imperial starships, and your re-imagining of her fits her right in with the aesthetic so commonly associated with the Empire. I am curious as to what you are using as reference material, especially if you know of any good websites that have high resolution blueprint drawings for the different views. Also, are you planning out your models before you start building them, at least to get a general sense… Read more »
"Tanfalk-class" Wow I've always wondered! I've also always been a fan of these vessels from those games too. Keep up the great work! 😀
I don't wanna be "that guy" but I'm correcting myself here: According to Wookiepedia it's the Ton-Falk-class sorry lol
I don't know if it's the lighting, but the ship feels so real in this render.
Cygnus and Sienar are starship company names, right? By the way, how many shuttle models did the Empire use?
There's the T4-a, the dropship, the Theta, the Escort shuttle, the troop transport just to name a few…
Well, yeah, they are, though Sienar via their subsidiary Design Systems also developed drive and power systems as well. Cygnus worked on the Lambda and Sentinel-class shuttles. Sienar's famous for the TIEs
I like the bigger turrets and the new 3 barreled smaller turrets on the Rogue one Star destroyer ,I can't tell if the 3 barreled ones were in A new hope as the Star destroyers weren't very detailed back then ,I get why the empire changed to the Octuple barbette turbolaser batteries on the Imperial 2 class to deal with smaller faster ships ,but I much prefer the larger turrets in Rouge One ,as they really bring out the ferocity in the Star destroyer.
The model in Rogue One is meant to be a replica of the model used in A New Hope. The first time we see the Imperator II -class Star Destroyers are in The Empire Strikes Back.
And then lastly, we have the Tector-class seen briefly in Return of the Jedi.
Speaking of blink-and-you'll-miss-'em ROTJ craft, I find myself rather curious about that 'communications ship' from the novelization. Apparently one of the new official novels mentioned its name (Pride of Tarlandia), but next to nil about any specs beyond basic designation (battlecruiser). Think it's a Bellator, Praetor, or something else?
Oh yeah, I remember reading about that ship! Outside of the novelization we never see it and nothing is actually confirmed in terms of appearance. The Tector-class fares little better in that it's more of a Imperator II sub-class that's had the hanger removed in favor of reinforced hull armor. We only ever get to see it briefly when Rebel fighters are flying over the hull. (I think the Tector is flipped on its axis 180 degrees giving an upside-down appearance since the ImpStar Deuce in front of it is right-side-up). Aside from this brief shot, we have no idea… Read more »
From the view out of the Emperor's throne room, it has a side profile similar to an Imperial-class. It appears to be longer than an ISD but this could be attributed to it being closer to the camera than the other ships. My guess would be an Allegiance-class battlecruiser or something similar. Found this image below for a sense of scale. Theforce.net also has several images of a command tower speculated to belong to the Pride of Tarlandia. The tower is a bit different from that on an ISD, with additional viewing modules on the front face.
Are you sure that's not Home One? Home One is about the length of two Imperator-class vessels. It's really difficult to tell since the two fleets are nearly unidentifiable. A comm ship may be visible. After all, there are all kinds of ships in the Rebel fleet that have never been identified, but we see them on screen, most notably at the end of The Empire Strikes Back and before the hyperjump to Endor in Return of the Jedi.
@Maje3d As Drakkmar pointed out, the 'comm ship' blip does seem to be broad enough on one end (and slim enough near the bow) to indicate some flavor of KDY ship design; Mon Cals tend to be thicker around the midsection with a gradual taper towards the bow & aft. Hard to say re: scale, though I'm tempted to consider it at least *somewhat* bigger than a stock Impstar. @Adm. Drakkmar Fractal's Allegiance model does retain a teeny-tiny shuttle launch bay in the same general area as an Impstar's, but you're probably correct about the novel's Rebel fighter strike upon… Read more »
on a side note, I think the novel mentions that the Pride of Tarlandia has hangar bays. Since the allegiance does not have hangars, it may be a modified allegiance- class, or something previously unknown.
It could be Home One, I suppose. It does look like it has a Star Destroyer-style command tower on it, to me, however. In the end, we may never know for sure. It would be cool if Fractal ever decides to take on the Tarlandia Project. Lol
Interesting ship ,it takes away from the standard triangle shape of the usual Imperial ships. So whats your opinion on the Star Destroyer design from Rogue One?

School field trips or a little day trip, Nini likes to make herself little sketches or collect ephemera in sketch books. Here's a small pocket sketch book I made for her to take along.
For this project, I used:
Others: Cardstock, Gesso, Gelatos, Stamper's Brush pens, pinking scissors, paint brush, adhesive, ink pad, ruler, bone folder, sewing machine, thread, ribbon, punch, Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Clear Rock Candy
Here are the steps to create this sketchbook
Stamp the image on cardstock with permanent ink and cut the block out with pinking scissors.
Color in the images with Stamper's Brush pens.
Create soft colored backgrounds for each block using Gelatos.
When dry, apply a moderate coat of Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle medium over each little block. Let dry thoroughly for cracks to appear.
Apply Gesso to the cover which is just folded cardstock measuring 5.5" x 4.25". Color it with Gelato.
Add Gelato color at the top of the page and add water for it to drip down. Let dry.
Create the inside pages by folding more white cardstock, size being 5.5" x 4.25". Use a bone folder for nice clean creases.
Stitch the stamped block on the cover with sewing machine.
Align the page inserts inside the cover and punch two holes through the entire stack with Crop-a-dile leaving about 1" from top and bottom. Thread a ribbon through the holes and tie into a bow.
Hope you enjoyed this sketchbook and tutorial. Be sure to check out the 100 Proof Press shop for more fun stamps!

Edward Gorey House Museum in Yarmouthport, MA. The 2015 show focuses on Edward Gorey's self published Fantod Press books, and is on display through the end of the year.
Once again, Edward Gorey House director Rick Jones and his staff have done an exceptional job displaying pieces for the exhibition. Every room contains hundreds of objects, each with a story that can be related by the extremely knowledgeable docents - the day we visited, a gentleman named Charles was a delightful and informative companion as we walked through the show. The depth of material and information found in this year's exhibit is second to none.
Upon entering the House, visitors are greeted by a delightful Fantod Under Glass who presides over the exhibition and was created specially for the show. The first two cases you encounter on either side of this colorful fellow are worth the price of admission in themselves.
Edward Gorey created the Fantod Press to self publish The Beastly Baby, a title he was shopping around and which no publisher wanted to touch...much like the Baby itself! These original drawings are rarely seen and are unexpectedly larger in person than their printed versions - a rarity since Mr. Gorey usually drew art at the size he intended for publication. A small sculptural Baby which once belonged to Mr. Gorey is included in the case.
The display on the other side of the Fantod shows artwork from The Chinese Obelisks. On exhibit in this case is an actual mummy's hand which belonged to Edward Gorey and inspired several creepy drawings.
In addition to the Fantod displays, there are exhibits of other aspects of Edward Gorey's career. Of particular interest is the large (in terms of material) display showcasing Edward Gorey's relationship with Dracula. The Dracula material includes original artwork from an unfinished illustrated version of the novel, artwork, photographs, and Mr. Gorey's Tony Award from the Broadway production and original art used for the Dracula Toy Theater. The piece of artwork from the Toy Theater has to be one of the largest and most awe-inspiring pieces of original Gorey artwork I have ever seen in person.

Meditation and Poetics - 98 - Haiku - 11 (Haiku and The Gap of Space)
AG: (Haiku) …and the gap of space
Billowing clouds -
An ant
climbs on to the ink stone
(The ink stone where he's mixing his ink to make the painting of the billowing clouds) - "Billowing clouds -/An ant/climbs onto the ink stone".
A cow is lowing
in the cowshed
under the hazy moon
(That's very similar to that (one earlier)… (tape ends and then restarts here) …the lowing of the cow and the hazy moon).
Then, again, like the one of the firefly's neck really is red in the daylight ("The firefly's neck/in the daylight/is red" (Basho) [Hiru mireba kubisuji akaki hotaru kana]).
So other examples of minutely-perceived concord like that are:
In the eye of the dragonfly
The distant hills
(You have to look real close…)
Student: …if you can see that, right?
AG: That's very good. It's so totally opposite. The space - the gigantesque junp of mind-space is there, yet it's absolutely literal - He probably did see the distant hills reflected in the eye of the dragonfly (like I really did see a snow mountain field through the transparent wings of a fly on the window pane). Can I have another? (that, incidentally, is Issa again - the (image) reflected in the eye of the dragonfly, the distant hills….

I received this email today:
our announcements went out on May 24th.)
I am heartbroken that a church believes that a seminar on Active Shooter Survival Techniques must be canceled because the entities sponsoring it have stances that the church finds distasteful.
I am heartbroken that a church can somehow find armed self-defense distasteful, when Jesus Himself told His disciples in the Gospel of Luke "and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."
I am heartbroken because now, unless a miracle occurs, the community is deprived of a free seminar on safety that could potentially save lives.
I am heartbroken because politics has gotten in the way of something good.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of construction firm KBR, (NYSE:KBR) dropped 13% today after announcing earnings.
So what: Revenue fell from $1.8 billion a year ago to $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter, and net income dropped 10%, to $27 million, or $0.18 per share. To make matters worse, management said it expects to earn $1.75 to $2.10 per share next year, well below the $2.69 estimate from Wall Street.
Now what: The gas monetization business was responsible for most of the decline in revenue, and the delay in closing two LNG projects also affected earnings. The earnings expectation for next year is up from $1.54, but investors clearly expected more improvement next year. I don't think the business is fundamentally flawed, but shares may have gotten ahead of themselves, and would be worth another look if they continue to fall during the next few weeks.

Six Seniors Go Out With Home Victory Over Auburn
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -Patrick Beverley scored 27 points, upstaging his six senior teammates a bit in Arkansas' 77-64 win over Auburn on Saturday night.
Beverley, a sophomore, went 9-of-11 from the field and made all six of his 3-point attempts in the Razorbacks' home finale. Arkansas (20-10, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) led by 19 at halftime, and after the Tigers cut the margin to 10, Beverley made a big 3-pointer with under six minutes remaining in the game.
Before the opening tip, Arkansas honored its six seniors, all of whom play regularly. Coach John Pelphrey started five of them, meaning Beverley was a reserve for only the second time this season.
Beverley didn't seem bothered. He scored 14 points in the first half without missing a shot.
Pelphrey earned his 100th career victory. He is in his first season at Arkansas after five at South Alabama. Pelphrey's 20 wins are the most by a first-year Arkansas coach.
Auburn (14-15, 4-12) finished last in the SEC West and will play No. 16 Vanderbilt in the first round of the conference tournament Thursday. Arkansas has a bye and faces the winner of that game Friday at 2:15 (central).
Senior Darian Townes had 12 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for the Razorbacks, and his classmates had their share of highlights too.
Senior Sonny Weems began the game with an alley-oop pass to senior center Steven Hill for a 2-0 lead. Senior Vincent Hunter, a 6-foot-10 forward not known for his dribbling ability, went right by his man for a dunk along the baseline in the second half.
The Razorbacks' struggles on the road have them on the NCAA tournament bubble, but they've gone 56-8 at home over the last four seasons, including 15-1 in 2007-08.
Arkansas went 30-of-58 from 3-point range in its final three home games this season, including 10-of-19 Saturday.
Arkansas finished the first half ahead 45-26 after shooting 8-of-14 from 3-point range. Townes had eight points and 11 rebounds at halftime.
Auburn's Frank Tolbert finished the game with 17 points.

Hello April Blogathoners!
As I was thinking about our theme for this year, I reflected on the really COOL things I experienced as an executive assistant. One of my fondest memories was when I flew on one of our corporate jets. I was working for Steelcase in Asheville, North Carolina at the time. At that facility, we manufactured beautiful, high-end wood office furniture. We had 900 employees and I worked for the General Manager. Our clients were large corporations who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on office furniture. Of course, our offices were showroom quality and I always had the newest office space layout and furniture.
Our company would fly our high-end clients to our facility so they could preview their furniture before making a large investment and could see their furniture being made after the sale. We had a large showroom with office displays, a first-class client presenation room, formal dining room with a full-scale kitchen.
Our corporate office was (and still is) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. One day my executive asked if I would like to go to corporate since we worked with them often especially when it came to entertaining our clients and flying them to Asheville. Of course I said "yes" right way. I was so excited when I walked into our jet. It was gorgeous! I had never seen anything like that even though I had flown many times in a commerical jet. We were served a wonderful lunch. It was just the COOLEST experience and one I will never forget.
I'd like to hear from you as to what has been your coolest experince as an administrative professional?

- Sophie ClaudetAFP reporter in Fallujah.
US troops today fired into a crowd of thousands of people in the city of Fallujah, killing three people. Two more are in critical condition.
The people were marching to protest an even deadlier shooting on Monday in which 15 people were killed.
The Associated Press is reporting the protesters stopped in front of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division headquarters. They held signs condemning Monday's shooting and began to throw stones and shoes at the compound. Then the US troops opened fire.
Safa Rusli told the Agence France Presse: "This was a peaceful demonstration. Religious leaders told us not to be armed. There was no exchange of fire."
US Intelligence Officer Maj. Michael Marti claimed US troops were returning fire.
Muslim religious leaders told the AFP today they met with US forces after the killings today and asked US forces to pull back from the city.
The city's top religious leader, Sheikh Waga Ali al-Mohammadi said: "Fallujah is known as a center of Islam. We care about religion, we care about our honour and our land. We told them things will get worse and worse."
An imam who also attended the meeting said they have opted for diplomatic means up to now, but it will be difficult to contain the people for long.
We go to Fallujah to speak with AFP reporter Sophie Claudet as she covers the funeral of two Iraqis who were killed by U.S. forces.

Many new mothers worry that their babies are not getting enough milk from breastfeeding. But new research suggests the problem, which can lead to dehydration and serious illness, is actually very rare.
Now, the researchers behind the study are calling for better support for breastfeeding mothers to prevent them turning to bottle-feeding.
Doctors in Bradford and Sheffield collected details of all of the cases of severe neonatal hypernatraemia – where babies lose weight and become dehydrated due to lack of milk - between May 2009 and June 2010.
In that time, Dr Sam Oddie and his colleagues found that there were only 62 cases, The Guardian reported. This equates to seven cases for every 100,000 live births.
Anne Woods, deputy programme manager for Unicef's Baby Friendly Initiative – a programme which encourages hospitals to train staff in providing breastfeeding support – told the paper that the number of babies who could not feed was negligible, and that only about one per cent of mothers do not make enough milk to sustain their baby.
Neonatal hypernatraemia usually appears when a baby is about ten days old.
The first signs include lethargy and irritability; however, some babies will deteriorate very rapidly and require quick hospital admission.
In the most severe cases, the condition can cause seizures, brain damage and even death.
In the new study, all of the affected babies were admitted to hospital. But they had all been discharged within two weeks, having put on weight and without having suffered any lasting damage.
Dr Oddie said, "Measures such as early initiation of breastfeeding, skilled helpers observing and supporting women breastfeeding and targeting help in cases where feeding is difficult and will both support the initiative of breastfeeding in general and find cases where a more serious problem may be developing.
"As far as I'm concerned the answer isn't more formula feeding, but better support for breastfeeding from the outset. 'In only a few cases were there special features of the baby [such as a cleft palate] that made it likely that there would be a severe feeding problem."

Dalai Lama turns to iPhone to spread app-iness
NEW DELHI, India (AFP) — He already has millions of Twitter followers and has spoken of the wonders of new technology. Now the Dalai Lama has launched a new iPhone app so devotees can keep track of his travels and teachings.
The 82-year-old Buddhist monk announced the new app, which will allow users to watch live video of his teachings, to his 16.6 million Twitter followers on Thursday.
It promises official news, videos and photos from the office of the Tibetan spiritual leader.
However it does not appear on Apple's China app store, meaning most Tibetans will not be able to access it.
The technology giant has previously blocked iPhone applications related to the Dalai Lama and other exiles from its China store.
The Buddhist leader has embraced modern technologies in the past, although it is not known whether he himself uses a smartphone.
In 2014 he said new technologies had made a lot of things easier, but warned against allowing phones and computers to dictate how we live.
"Without technology, humanity has no future, but we have to be careful that we don't become so mechanised that we lose our human feelings," he said.

It's time to visit a dentist and you are suffering from anxiety. What can you do to get past this fear? Realizing you are not alone is only part of the solution. Many advances in diagonsis and treatment have made a trip to the dentist more comfortable and less frightening than ever.
According to mouthhealthy.org there are some tips you can use to help you get past your anxiety:
- Share your anxiety.
If you're tense or anxious, tell your dentist and the dental staff. Getting your concerns out in the open will let your dentist adapt the treatment to your needs.
- Help yourself.
Choose a time for your dental visit when you're less likely to be rushed or under pressure. For some people, that means a Saturday or an early-morning appointment.
- Wear headphones.
If the sound of the drill bothers you, bring headphones so you can listen to your favorite music. Some dental offices even show television or DVDs. During the dental visit you might try visualizing yourself relaxing on a warm beach.
At Brogdon Dental, your comfort is our first concern. We will address your worries by offering the finest, safest and most comfortable care available. Call us today to set up an appointment and be sure to let us know your fears so we can help you to look forward to your dental visits instead of dreading them. Don't let your anxieties stop you from getting the care you need!

I did manage to read seven books this week. One e-book novella. Six physical books; one being a graphic novel and two re-reads.
Bad Romeo(Starcrossed #1) by Leisa Rayven *****(re-read)
The short film was being filmed this past week and it made me NEED to revisit this amazing duology.
Broken Juliet(Starcrossed #2) by Leisa Rayven *****(re-read)
A Very Bad Romeo Christmas(Starcrossed #2.5) by Leisa Rayven *****
A super fun novella taking place after Broken Juliet. Loves it!
The Naturals(The Naturals #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes ****
Samantha got me this for Christmas, and I can honestly say that if she hadn't I probably would have never picked it up. Which sucks, but thanks Sam. This is totally a YA version of Criminal Minds; which I love. There was a super cool paranormal like element to the story that made it fun. I am totally into getting into the psyche of a killer. It's interesting. And The Naturals does a good job exploring the complexities that drive someone to murder. The love triangle was a little off putting only because it was cliched. BUT I will say that it didn't take over the story, and the characters didn't let it drive them. They were like whatever, we have work to do. No time for this right now. You don't get that much in YA. Will definitely be picking up the sequel soonish.
Stars Above(Lunar Chronicles novella bind-up) by Marissa Meyer *****
You guys should be proud of me for not skipping to the end and reading The Wedding first. Doesn't mean I wasn't antsy the whole time. The Wedding made my little heart so happy. This whole book just made me happy. Just getting to re-visit this series in any way is something I love. But the Thorne novella? Aces, how can I marry the guy?
What did you guys read this week?
Happy reading!

Very pleased to have managed two urban wanderings this week. The first of which was on a bright(ish) but cold lunch time break around the Paddington and Lancaster Gate areas. Again this is somewhere I have walked through many times but I found some mews, alleyways and staircases that I'd not explored before. And surprisingly, I have more photographs to chose from than I can comfortably add into a single blog post, which recently has been unusual as I try to find the least grey shot from a dreary batch.
The first photo was taken in Fulton Mews, which until I'd explored it this week I thought it was a hammerhead cul-de-sac but to my pleasant surprise also contained a couple of more intimate side passages, one of which had a wooden bench, half in the sunlight, set against a backdrop of a white brick wall with a cut-out archway. I couldn't tell whether the archway was simply decorative or whether at one time it had been an actual arch leading through to more mews or possibly Quennsborough Passage which runs adjacent on the other side of the wall.
Wooden bench in Fulton Mews, London W2
Elms Mews was another mews that I had not explored before. It lies just of the main Bayswater Road and leads off towards Craven Terrace. The mews itself was pleasant enough, but of more interest was this flight of steps and street lamp at the end.
Flight of steps in Elms Mews, London W2
The next three photos are of Lancaster Mews which was a real treat as I had no idea that this was in fact a quadrangle of mews. From the news entrance it simply looked like it went as far as the flats at the end and not further, but in fact it opened out revealing a further two picturesque mews. What was also pleasing about these mews was that they didn't have any cars insight to spoil my photos.

My reward at the end of the lunch time wander was a ham and cheese roll, made up freshly in front of me, in the excellent Sheila's Café on the corner of Lancaster Mews. All too often I am pressed for time and simply go to one of the chain sandwich shops near the office, so this was a pleasant change.
For anyone interested to read more, my second urban wander of the week Bermondsey to Borough hasjust been posted.

Rental security
Making renting
More Victorians are renting than ever before, and for longer. As a part of its plan for fairer, safer housing, the Victorian Government undertook a comprehensive review of the Residential Tenancies Act to ensure that it meets the needs of the current and future rental market.
This initial package of reforms, announced on 8 October 2017, focuses on strengthening tenants' rights, to provide those who rent with a sense of security and support.
The Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill 2018 was passed in September 2018 and included more than 130 reforms that aim to increase protections for renters, while ensuring rental housing providers can still effectively manage their properties.
Read the full list of reforms on the Fairer Safer Housing page on the Engage Victoria website.

Hi there! I hope you all have a great weekend!
I was checking my to-read list on GoodReads and found Masque of the Red Death, which was one of the very first books I added. I was dying to read it because I read the original story when I was in school (we didn't read much here), so this was going to be my first re-telling... but I never had the chance.
Have you read it? If not, check it out!
Everything is in ruins.
A devastating plague has decimated the population, and those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles around them.
So what does Araby Worth have to live for?
Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery makeup . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.
But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club, and Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.
And Araby may find not just something to live for, but something to fight for—no matter what it costs her.

Ecological Design Systems: I am currently focusing on ways to integrate my interests in ecological design, permaculture science, and biomimicry into my pedagogical pursuits. I am specifically interested in technologies where design innovation is inspired by natural systems.
While developing a new Bachelor's degree program in Emerging Media, I wrote the first Introduction to Ecological Design course offered at CUNY and formulated a concentration in EcoMedia, which addresses the development of interactive media, products, and systems using ecological design considerations and theories, such as the cradle-to-cradle design process.
I would like to explore ways in which Communication Design students can strengthen their position in emerging media fields through the study of these important and timely design principles and processes.
Department-wide Design Process: An idea that has evolved out of curriculum discussions is the need to unify the Department's method and approach to design thinking and process. Part of my approach to teaching first year students has been to instill an understanding and appreciation for a clear Design Process. I have been and will continue to work toward developing a department-wide creative design process to provide faculty and students with a defined and consistent framework that all students can follow throughout their academic career at City Tech. My aim is to find ways to integrate a shared Design Process into each class, allowing students in all concentration areas to graduate with the ability to develop innovative and professional solutions to visual communication problems. Using ePortfolios to support the practice of Design Process, especially in First Year Foundation Courses, is another way I am exploring this important creative experience in my own teaching with the hope of integrating it into the fabric of the Department in the future.

It needs as much teamwork as possible, because one of the main objectives of the NAV alliance is to promote standardization. Many companies are currently in parallelDevelopmentA similar system means a lot of waste of time and money, which makes it more difficult to cultivate the market.
The main content of the team's attempt to standardize is that AVs needs to handle the high bandwidth data transmission required from the data from various sensors, and Aquantia is focused on this connection. It is estimated that AVs needs to process dozens of TB data in one day's driving time, so its data density is much more than usual.
In addition to promoting more standards, including networks, the NAV alliance hopes to provide general procedures and requirements for the security and overall reliability of the AV system, and to educate the public how to make AV a reality. Viktor Molnar, senior vice president of the body electronics department at BOSCH, says, with our alliance partners, we are contributing to a secure, reliable and redundant standardized network and helping to drive autopilot.

1. Lack of Iori's stress during her phone call with Inaba
2. Shortened scene of Taichi & Yui running into Iori, they cut the part where Taichi observed Iori briefly and wondered why her behavior changed.
3. Shortened scene of Taichi running into Iori the next day, they cut out more of Iori's quick shift in behavior which Taichi sorta noticed. Also skimped out Iori gazing at a passing by family with a little girl cuddling her father.
4. Shortened scene about Taichi & Inaba's discussion regarding Iori(14), where Iori(14) ran off and purposely left the two alone. Inaba knew her intention and brought it up to Taichi.
5. Skipped out the part about how Iori was late at arriving the abandoned apartment and almost missed the twelve o'clock mark on New Year's Eve. She said she was 'caught up with something' and avoided explaining.
6. Shortened scene of Taichi and Iori's conversation during Inaba(14) and Yui(14) transformation. Hence missing out some of Taichi x Iori interaction that showed signs of Iori backing off from further relationship for unknown reason.
7. And let's not talk about how they rushed through the scenes after Taichi blurted out the secret about Number Two.
8. The change to the confrontation scene with Heartseed. While I like how it adds point to the friendship aspect, Inaba's involvement (she's not supposed to be there in the novel) lessens the impact of Taichi's "forceful" attitude in his expressing that he loves Iori. This is suppose to be an indication of Iori answering to "expectations".
Whatever, at least they did show how Iori often pauses before she speaks in Kizu arc. As implied she's always thinking of how she would respond to situations. Always.
And then there was that "I won't mess up again" scene.
Anyway, to sum it up. They cut out waaaaay too many Iori scenes.

Spoiler for AGAIN?:
Those two seemed to get together really quick and offhandedly in the last few pages. Also, I wonder if they're gonna animate parts of this arc in Iori's POV. The arc would lose a lot of impact without it.
EDIT2: Sorry, won't be able to update the translation until I get some of my required projects out of the way first... hoping I can get back to Kizu Random soon. Lantern, your translations seem so professional compared to mine.

Iori 's a much tougher nut to crack XDD
I mean, it still took
Edit: You know, the more I think of it, the more I feel the anime really shouldn't have included Inaban on the bridge scene. Yea sure it makes the 'friendship' aspect better, but in the overall picture, it really became redundant with what Taichi and Inaba are going to do in the next arc, if you know which part I'm talking about that is. Not to mention, as I've already said a billion times before, it lessens the set up for Iori's break down...
Ugh... = =;
Anyway about the anime I would hope so too... though the chances are...

My mother-in-law gave me the recipe years ago. We usually make it around the holidays, but it's a really easy dessert to whip up any time of the year. This is one of those treats where everyone asks for the recipe, and they're always just as surprised as I was to find out just how simple it is!
Start with an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. I made this cobbler in one of those throw away foil pans you find at the grocery store because we were taking it to someone else's house for a holiday party. Pour in the pineapple chunks. I've also used the pineapple "tidbits" for this cobbler, but I like the larger chunks better.
Next spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple. I got a little eager here and kept going without snapping another picture. But it's simple, you can't mess this one up! Pour the dry cake mix (that's right, no cake batter, you're just pouring straight out of the bag!) over the cherries and pineapple.
Next cover the cake mix evenly with thin slices of butter. I don't always use the whole stick of butter here, sometimes I have one or two tablespoons leftover. It just depends on how thick you make your slices. Also, I've made this with unsalted and salted butter. I don't notice a big difference in taste, so just use whatever you have one hand or normally buy.
When its ready, pop it in the oven and bake. It comes together quickly. You can bake it while you are fixing dinner or while you're eating dinner, and have a delicious dessert fresh from the oven when you've finished! It's even great warmed up for breakfast the next morning (if there's any left that is)!
Pineapple Cherry Cobbler
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 large can of cherry pie filling
- 1 large can of pineapple chunks (in juice), drained
- Note: Feel free to save the juice for another recipe, perhaps yummy sweet and sour chicken!
- 1 stick of butter
- Pecan halves (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour pineapple chunks into an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. Spread cherry pie filling evenly over pineapple. Pour entire package of dry cake mix evenly over the filling. Cut stick of butter into thin slices and spread out evenly over cake mix. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. When done push pecan halves into the top of the cobbler and allow to cool slightly before serving by itself, or top with whipped cream or ice cream.

H.R. 2587, Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act, passed the House by a vote of 238-186. The bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to deny the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) any power to: (1) order an employer (or seek an order against an employer) to restore or reinstate any work, product, production line, or equipment; (2) rescind any relocation, transfer, subcontracting, outsourcing, or other change regarding the location, entity, or employer who shall be engaged in production or other business operations; or (3) require any employer to make an initial or additional investment at a particular plant, facility, or location. The bill was triggered by the pending unilateral action by the NLRB to deny Boeing the ability to build a plant in South Carolina which is not a union shop state.
Seven Republicans voted against the bill: Fitzpatrick (PA-8), Gibson (NY-20), Grimm (NY-13), LaTourette (OH-14), McKinley (WV-1), Meehan (PA-7), and Young (AK-at large). Eight Democrats voted for the bill: Barrow (GA-12), Boren (OK-2), Cooper (TN-5), Cuellar (TX-28), Matheson (UT-2), McIntyre (NC-7), Ross (AR-4), and Shuler (NC-11).

We are all hearing this concept of "the cloud" when it comes to computers these days. "The cloud" simply means that your files are not stored directly on your computer. They reside on computers elsewhere called servers. You access your files through the internet. The benefits are enormous for users and organizations. Here's some of the biggest benefits to working within "the cloud":
- No need to worry about loss of information. Since your information is not stored on your computer, even if your computer goes down your files are all protected and easily accessible from any internet connected computer. Think about the possibilities of scanning parishioner certificates and storing them in "the cloud" (without sharing them publicly obviously). How easy would that be to access and quickly respond to requests or not worry about losing papers?
- Greater choice of equipment and reduced costs for equipment. Since the only requirement for being able to work in "the cloud" is a computer with internet connection, you can use any computer. Or you can use multiple styles of computers such as Windows, Macs, etc. and multiple browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.). There is also no need to purchase software or upgrades for basic computing like word processing, spreadhseets, presentation, photos, etc. Google Apps, for example, provides all of these.
- Easily Collaborate and Share Information. Sharing information amongst computers is nothing new, but it has been cumbersome in the past such as attachments or the need for costly servers. "The cloud" allows you to easily share files and information such as calendar dates with others quickly and easily by simply linking rather than attaching. Online documents can also be easily edited by multiple parties creating an updated version online for viewers instantly. For example, our 'Welcome Booklet' for our parish is available as a link on our parish website. In the background, this is actually a word processing document and any changes that need to be made are simply made within the document and it is automatically updated for viewers who click the link on the website.
- Enter once and update everywhere you use the information. One of the things I have always been bothered with in the past is the 'syncing' of information. Typically this had to be done by connecting a device to a computer and basically hope the information comes over correctly. Plus the most updated information was dependent upon you actually remembering to do 'the sync'. Working in "The cloud" automatically updates your information everywhere. So when I enter my work schedule in my online calendar, it is automatically available on my mobile phone and shared out to my wife. Likewise, if I edit or enter anything on my calendar on my mobile phone it is updated everywhere. For parishes, this allows you to create custom calendars for ministries such as Lectors. When you enter the schedule, it would automatically update the calendar embedded on your website. Enter-once-use-everywhere. I love it.
Granted, parishes would want to keep at least one computer that maintains their database of parishioners. Other than that, things are wide open for users.

There is no seasonal constraint on travelling in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when the winter is at its severest, there are compensating bright sun and brilliant views. The monsoon season does affect the summer months, so be wary that trekking can be hazardous, although there are some regions that are actually best visited at this time – please see our list of treks for more information.

According to Love To Know, the top 10 most selected tattoos include designs that are tribal, nautical and heart-shaped. Many people also seek tattoos that have angel wings and symbols associated with religion like crosses. Animals and living things are also a favorite, both real and mythical. Lions and tigers, dragons and butterflies are all popular. Finally, Celtic designs and fairies rank in the top 10 as well.
For many people, tattoos aren't only about decoration. They also have a deeper meaning or symbolism behind them. Some of these meanings may be more obvious than others. People who choose crosses or other religious symbols often do so to display their faith. Similarly, those that decorate their skin with angels may also have spiritual ties to their tattoo and feel there is a higher power watching over them. Traditionally, hearts have symbolized love, and the same is true for tattoo lovers. These are more popular among women than men. They are used to celebrate love in a variety of relationships including familial and for a pet. Couples that wish to celebrate their love might opt for a Claddagh love knot and eternity symbol, one of many Celtic designs popular in tattoo parlors.

Jon & Kate: I hate to say it, but I relate
It was not my intention to watch THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on "Jon & Kate Plus 8" tonight. It was not my intention to watch it at all this season. Many, many episodes ago, Kate's germophobia and Jon's passivity wore me down.
Before the weariness set in, I did watch the show. When Lil E and I lived with my parents, we either watched or heard each episode detailed by my mother, who is delighted by all reality TV that involves a) small children, b) fashion, c) island challenges, and 4) food. Lil E and my mother were equally squealy to see kids Lil E's age times six, with two older, bossy girls corralling them through the house. When Lil E and I moved into our own place, we'd sometimes glory in the fact that we had our own cable and we watched old episodes while unpacking boxes and arranging pillows on the floor until we got furniture a few months later.
It all seemed innocent enough then, barring a yelly mommy with bad hair and a doh-dee-doh-dee-doh daddy and the tension of bringing so many children out of womb at one time. I no longer had the time or energy or emotional reserve to commit to any of the many television shows I formerly watched. And so there they were every once in a while, Jon and Kate and all their maniacal outings with too many children.
In the past few months, I've paid some attention to their lives off-screen. How could you not? I've oscillated in my sympathies, first rolling at my eyes at the all too familiar cheating husband and then watching in horror at the footage of Kate denying her daughter water while she sipped from a bottle herself. I felt for her, for them, but I was done. I didn't need to watch more.
So I am not sure how or why I ended up tuning in to the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT episode tonight. But I clicked on it and never looked away.
What I saw, what I heard saddened me more deeply than I anticipated. It saddened me because the words they each said -- about choosing to separate, about trying to find happiness, about hoping for friendship, about having absolutely no relatioship left with the person they are married to -- sounded so damn familiar. Except for the bit about striving for friendship (no thanks), it could have been a script out of my own divorce.
I don't feel sorry for Jon because I don't understand how a person can choose such a damaging, unfair, disrespectful way to leave a family, all in the name of finding himself. I do feel for Kate, not as the cringe-worthy mother but as wife on the end of all that other crap, and only because I understand how scary and sad it is to face the end of a love affair and the beginning of being the official primary parent.
Of course, I feel for the kids. Oh, those kids. But that's not what surprised me. It surprised me that I ached in relating to the parents.
Sure, they have cameras and access and money now. One day, the show will be cancelled and the parents will be left with split holidays and kids trying to play Jon against Kate. One day, the kids will be awkward teens and taller and louder than their mother's yelling and overhear the dad complaining about child support or never really completely escaping Kate's control. I mean, unless by luck or the grace of God, something goes differently for that family than too many others.
I am not Kate Gosselin and I am the mother of one child. But I have certainly had my yelly mommy moments, had horrible hair (and skin), acted out and been a bitch out of a need to be right or ahead or in control. That said, I also did my very best to get through my divorce. It wasn't always pretty.And I certainly am glad it wasn't all captured on camera or splashed across magazines. That was (and is) their choice, but divorce doesn't care if you are famous or not. It brings the bullshit no matter who you are or how much money or how many kids you have.
But maybe, they really will find happiness outside of their marriage, the family that was, possibly even the show. I was as full of pain and anger and fear that I imagine Kate is right now, and I have found more happiness than I ever dreamed. Than I ever dreamed when I first filed for divorce, and even long before I realized my marriage was over.
Not all divorcing or divorced people are the same. This I know. But I can't deny the similarities that I saw and heard tonight. I can't watch Jon & Kate anymore, but I also can't pretend that there's not some reality behind that reality TV.

I started this vanity nearly two months ago. It normally doesn't take me 2 months to paint a piece of furniture, but with vacation in the midwest, symphony rehearsals + hands that are a little flabbier than when I was 18, and a 3-year-old birthday party to plan, well, I guess that's not too rotten…
I'll do a complete write-up complete with background, the broken foot, how to whittle away your sanity, more broken drawers, etc this week as soon as I decide what color to paint these drawers:
Some have stated they don't like the white drawers, that it detracts from the aqua/oops bin color. Someone else suggested silver, which is intriguing. Others have cheered on the white. My only fear is that white will make this look more 8-year-old girl than glam.
So I turn to readers for their (constructive) opinions. White, silver, blue, or something completely different? Here they are in context. The drawers have only 1 coat of paint on them, accounting for their blotchy appearance.

Infection Prevention and Control: Information for Service Users and Visitors
Our Trust regards infection prevention and control as a serious issue. It is the aim of the Trust to protect all personnel from infectious disease including service users, carers, families and staff. Good infection prevention and control practice is promoted in a range of settings from community settings to inpatient units.
The Trust's infection prevention and control team is a small group of specialist staff working to ensure that:
- The prevention and control of infection is an essential part of the management of all patients
- All staff are responsible for infection prevention in their area of work, including hand hygiene
- The environment and equipment are cleaned appropriately, lead by our hard working and dedicated domestic staff
- Patients presenting with infections or who acquire an infection during treatment are identified promptly and managed correctly to reduce the risk of transmission
The Trust has a suite of infection prevention and control Standard Operating Procedures for staff to follow and has regular infection and prevention meetings reporting regularly to the Trust Board on all matters relating to infection prevention and control.
Service users / patients: what you can do to help?
- Keeping your hands and body clean are especially important when you are in hospital. Where possible have a supply of your own toiletries, soap etc contained within a wash bag
- Always wash your hands immediately before you eat a meal
- Make sure that you always wash your hands after using the toilet
- If you are concerned that any area does not look clean, report this immediately to the nurse in charge of the ward
- Always wear something on your feet when walking around in hospital. A comfortable pair of slippers is fine but make sure they have some grip on the soles.
- If a member of staff needs to examine you or perform a procedure, do not be afraid to ask if they have first washed their hands or used an alcohol rub or gel
- Please ask the nurse in charge before you bring in any food or drink for a relative
Infection Control Information for Visitors
Everyone has a vital part to play in helping prevent and control infection, so please:
- If you have suffered diarrhoea or vomiting, or have had a cough, cold or the 'flu, please stay away from the hospital until you have recovered and have been free of symptoms for 48 hours. If in doubt call the ward for advice. Also, please cover up any open wounds or cuts.
- Use soap and water to wash your hands or alcohol rub before and after visiting. Hand gels is only effective on clean hands. There are diagrams on every soap dispenser advising on how this should be done.
- If in doubt, remind staff. We don't mind being asked if we have cleaned our hands properly.
- You can help keep the hospital clean by not bringing in lots of belongings that can clutter the area around beds. Please take away things that are not required.
- Report any problems, such as litter or spillages to ward staff. Our ward managers and matrons are responsible for making sure wards are clean and hygienic. If you want to talk to the Matron responsible for the area you are being treated in or visiting, ask a member of staff.
Ask us for advice
If you have any concerns, please contact the infection prevention and control team on: 01889 571 837. We will do our best to find the answers for you.

I recently took note of IBM's announcement to end marketing of DB2 9. Well, the DB2 9 end of service announcement quickly followed.
DB2 9 end of service is scheduled for June 27, 2014, so IBM is giving you ample time to plan your upgrade. DB2 8 end of service, however, is only a few months away. If you've already made the decision and started migrating to DB2 9, you probably won't switch gears now (and shouldn't need to). If you haven't started planning to get off of DB2 8 though, your next move should be to DB2 10.
Granted, many companies use unsupported versions of DB2 and other IBM solutions, but there are important benefits to keeping your software reasonably current. For instance, check out this article by David Stephens. Relatedly, here's a good piece by Julian Stuhler on how to justify upgrading to IBM DB2 10 for z/OS.
So does this announcement alter your migration plans? Please post a comment and let us know.
