Thames Path - Wolvercote to Swinford

Date of Walk:  23 August 2014
Approx Distance of Walk: 5 km (3 miles)
 Parking/Transport: 2 cars, one parked at car park in Wolvercote (Grid Ref SP 488094)
one parked at Talbot Inn, Swinford (Grid Ref SP 440089)
Starting Point: Godstow Bridge.
Finishing Point: Swinford Bridge.

 For this stretch we were joined by my in-laws who are also keen walkers. We left one car at the Talbot Inn pub near Swinford Bridge, having obtained permission from the landlord. We all drove back to Wolvercote where we parked in a small car park in the village.

We ate our packed lunch in a picnic area adjacent to the car park before setting off westwards to join the Thames Path just past the Trout Inn.

The path is clearly signed on the western bank of the river, but just in case of any doubt, Mr PL shows the way.

It is a pleasant walk on a late summers day.

Soon we pass beneath the busy A34 trunk road.

A well-paved path takes us towards King's Lock...

... conveniently by-passing some small bends in the river.

King's Lock is busy with boats.

People are making the most of the nice weather at the end of summer.

Action shot of the skipper stepping on board his cruiser.

We leave the lock and follow a grassy path through meadows.

A gaggle of geese nosily take to the water from the opposite bank.

Suddenly the skies darken and we are hit by a couple of summer squalls. It is unusual for us not to be carrying proper raincoats, but Mr PL insisted that no rain was in the forecast for today, so we just took flimsy ponchos. Mine had a huge hole in the back! I was glad that I'd slipped the umbrella into my rucksack when we set off on the walk, as it did give me a bit of protection.

Fortunately the sun came out again and we gradually dried off.

We were surprised to see some folk swimming in the river as we approached Eynsham Lock.

We were keen to get to our destination to properly dry off, and were therefore glad to see Swinford Bridge just past the lock.

We walked across the bridge, stopping to peer briefly downstream through the balustrade.

The Talbot Inn was then just a short walk up the road. As we ended a very nice meal there, Mr PL was still wringing the water from the sleeves of his fleece!

Finnish cuisine - karjalanpiirakka

Karelian pasties, or Karelian pies, are as Finnish food as you can get. The pie is originated from the Karelian region, but nowadays the pies are eaten everywhere in Finland. The pie even has the status of "Traditional Speciality Guaranteed" in Europe.

Nowadays the pie has most commonly rice porridge filling with a rye crust. The other popular filling is mashed potato, but it can be also barley or buckwheat (which are rare). The crust can be also something else than rye, often wheat or rarely buckwheat.

You can buy the pies from a grocery store, but those pies are often factory made. You can get better Karelian pies if you buy them from a bakery, but then they are much more expensive.

It is also possible to make the pies yourself, really, they are not that hard to make, but surprisingly baking your own Karelian pies is not common. But if you take the time to bake the pies yourself, I can guarantee they taste better than any pie you can buy from a store or a bakery.

The first videos shows the steps _really_ quickly, but the second one has more slower and more traditional approach. In the latter video, you can also have a peek to a traditional Finnish home. :)

Last night again my brain switched into PTSD mode and fixated on playing the tape of Kiernen doing the float at iFly and hating it. He won;t let me show the video to anyone ever, but he had a terrible time and couldn't breathe, and all I could think was, "Why didn't I see it? How did I not know?" And my brain just replayed it over and over and wouldn't let me go to sleep.

But despite my terrible night's sleep, I got dressed today and I ventured out of the house again. We went to Naomi's Organic Farm Supply and got some more herbs and soil to plant them in. And when I got home I finally put my kitchen herb garden together in the planter I bought. It's a little whiffy from the soil, but once it settles down and folds in more together I'll take photos. I FINALLY have a kitchen herb garden IN my kitchen! I DID have one outside before, and the chives are still going strong, so half of them are in my planter now, because they'll be coming on the road with us. I planted parsley, cilantro, thyme, dill, basil and chives, and it's a lovely little herb garden.

Tomorrow, quotes from REAL professionals to fix the damage done by the fakers.

Movement of Carriers in Semiconductors

  1. Carriers move freely about the semiconductor lattice in a random direction at a certain velocity determined by the temperature and the mass of the carrier.
  2. Carriers will continue in that direction until they collide with another semiconductor lattice atom.
  3. There is no net overall movement of carriers in any direction.

Electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band are considered "free" carriers in the sense that they can move throughout the semiconductor lattice that makes up the crystal structure of the material. A simple, but in most cases adequate description of carrier movement views each carrier as moving in a random direction at a certain velocity.

The carrier moves in this random direction for a distance called the scattering length before colliding with a lattice atom. Once the collision takes place, the carrier moves away in a different random direction.

A model of carrier movement is shown in the animation below.

The velocity of the carriers is determined by the temperature of the lattice. The thermal velocity is an average carrier velocity. Carriers have a thermal velocity that is normally distributed around this average thermal velocity. Therefore,  some carriers having a greater velocity and some lower.

Barring certain circumstances which will be discussed in the following sections, there is no net movement of carriers in any direction. Each direction of carrier movement is equally likely, therefore the motion of a carrier in one direction will eventually be balanced by the movement of the carrier in the opposite direction. In the following animation, a carrier moves a distance equal to the scattering distance in a random direction before it collides with a lattice atom (for clarity the lattice atoms are not shown). After scattering off the lattice atoms, the carrier again moves in a random direction. The following animation has 5000 scattering events.

Although carriers in a semiconductor are in constant random motion, there is no net motion of carriers unless there is a concentration gradient or an electric field, to be discussed in the next sections.

Consumer Report Now Available:

What is this Thing called Multi-Level Marketing?

This new article by Robert L. FitzPatrick is an economic “portrait” of multi-level marketing (MLM) in the USA. The report has compiled and analyzed the data on three of the oldest and largest MLM companies, Amway, Herbalife and Nu Skin in a readable and understandable way to paint a recognizable picture.  Together, these three constitute 10% of the entire MLM operations in America and serve as representatives of all others. About 1.5 million Americans are signed up in them each year. Most quit within a year.  The report shows shocking loss rates among participants and an extreme transfer of money to the 1% at the top. The study also examines the potential for “retail” sales by distributors, which turn out to be non-existent. Finally, the report examines  the financial chances of success  of a new recruit joining any of the three today.

Quaker Knob

This site is dedicated to preserving the peace and tranquility of the Quaker Knob and Stone Dam Rd. area from the proposed TDOT bypass around the 11E bypass. TDOT surveyed the existing 11E bypass and found that there was congestion. The TDOT survey found that approximately 26,000 vehicles traveled through Greeneville per day. With imput from local government, TDOT came up with a plan to put a bypass around the existing 11E bypass.

TDOT came up with three plans. Alternate A, Alternate B and the third plan is to improve the existing 11E bypass. Of course, a "no build" option exists.

The Western end of Alternate A and Alternate B both start between Pruitt Rd. and Hal Henard Rd. and are North of the existing 11E bypass and terminate either between Stone Dam Rd and Wagon Wheel Trail (Alternate A) or at Rt. 107 (Alternate B). Here is a link to the TDOT website with a PDF map of the Alternate plans.

There is no question that the current 11E bypass is congested at times. At a public meeting on September 27, 2011, a number of questions were asked of TDOT officials. One question was during the TDOT survey of the current 11E bypass, did the survey determine how many of the 26,000 vehicles per day were local traffic and how many vehicles were passing through. The TDOT survey DID NOT determine how may vehicles were local and how many were not.

Based upon the TDOT survey, a determination was made to either bypass the current 11E bypass or to improve the existing road. The decision to bypass the existing 11E bypass is flawed. If the majority of the current 11E bypass traffic is local (and we believe that it is), building Alternate A or Alternate B would not relieve the congestion and be a huge waste of taxpayer money. If the majority of the current 11E traffic is not local, then there would be an economic impact on the many business located along the current 11E bypass. Improving the current 11E bypass makes the most sense.  It is the least expensive and will cause less impact on local businesses. .

The original "Option A" plan has been revised because of impacts on Sinking Creek cave. "Option A-1" is approximately 1500 feet south of the original "Option A". "Option A-1" would still adversely impact this entire area, including, homes, farms, farm animals, a possible Indian burial ground called "Tater Hill", a Certified Wild Life Habitat and the many fine people who reside in this area. Here is a link to a Google Earth image of the Quaker Knob proposed bypass Option A-1".

Additionally there are two Greene Valley Development Center "Community Homes" recently built in the path of the new Option A-1. These homes cost about $856,000 each. Both of these "Community Homes" will be impacted or have to be removed for the construction of the Option A-1. See Greeneville Sun article.

Link to a Google Earth image of the original "Option A" proposal.

Link to the Greeneville Bypass Environmental Statement dated August 2009 making the change in the "Option A" proposal. You will need Adobe Acrobat to view this document.

While building a bypass around the existing bypass in Greeneville may appear to be a local problem for the residents of the Greeneville in the "Option A-1" or "Option B" areas, it really affects all Tennesseeans. The state of our economy is rapidly deteriorating in Tennessee, throughout the United States and the world. Businesses in Tennessee are failing and are shutting down or terminating some of their employees.

Projected Current Costs for the Greeneville Bypass

Option A-1
Construction Cost = $126,708,000
Length = 9.6 miles

Option B
Construction Cost = $116,593,000
Length = 8.5 miles

Bat for breakfast

If you happen to be eating a bowl of cereal, put down your spoon. An unnamed German man found a bat in his box of Mini-Zimties (pictured), although it's not yet clear whether it flew into the plastic packaging at the factory or into the box after it was opened at home in Stuttgart . In any case, it was unintended. The bat apparently suffocated and is being described as "mummified." Health officials are investigating and food safety officer Jorg Sturmer says, "I have never seen anything like it. This really is an unusual case."

All Organised

Well I have spent the last couple of days organising myself to get into it! I have completed the card trick blocks and the 12" for my swaps and they will be posted tomorrow, absolutely.
I have sorted all my UFO's and tried to list them in order of priority and will begin work on these immediately starting with Lily's quilt. I have also listed my interest in joining a postcard swap which will be interesting as I have not done one of these before.
Today I have started working on the layout for my Mums photo quilt. It should have been done for her birthday last year but I couldn't decide on a pattern, so here I am. I have decided to go with a crossword puzzle showing all our names with pictures spaced in and around the puzzle. Now I just have to source some more photos from my brothers. I have been asking for 2 years for photos of them and their families and am still waiting. I will have to play the heavy handed sister because I want this quilt done by April if possible when Mum comes to visit, or Mothers Day at the latest.
I have posted the latest picture of our little man Ollie. I think this is a gorgeous photo - he was waiting patiently for me to get comfortable before giving him his bottle. If he gets much bigger I won't be able to cuddle him while I feed him, and I do love my cuddles!
Anyway, enough chitchat - I am off to the sewing room to work on Lily's quilt and hopefully she can have it by the end of the week.
Keep Safe and Happy Quilting.

Triumph Star

I was compelled to finish up this quilt top before working on anything else... I love how it turned out! Even though it started out as a "mistake" and went through a couple uncomfortable patches as it grew, it's lovely and finished: a triumph.

I really had to tear myself away from using red with my made fabric- it did sneak in there in a few places, but I am really happy with the combination of yellow, orange and pink with blue.

At just under 36" square, I am counting this as a mini quilt and looking forward to machine quilting it to try boost my skillz.

In October, we went to a concert at House of Blues and even sprang for reserved seats instead of standing room.  My streak of sitting behind tall people continues...
The show was still probably one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.  JohnMark McMillan, Gungor, Chris August and David Crowder Band.
BigJoel and I spent a day at the Mecum Auto Auction.  It was really a lot of fun.  He makes everything fun.  I just love that guy.
Finally, we went to see NeedtoBreathe in concert at Cowboys Stadium...oh, and Taylor Swift was there, too.

Jean Bon Saint-André journal  [1794]
full text File Size: 7 K bytes

André Jeanbon was born in France in 1749. He trained as a Catholic priest and Protestant minister, and adopted the name Jean Bon Saint-André. In the early years of the French Revolution, he served in the National Convention, and he became a member of the Committee of Public Safety in 1793. His accomplishments included the reorganization of the French Navy. In 1794 he accompanied the fleet of Villaret Joyeuse during the Battle of the First of June, a naval battle between the French and the British over a transport ship bringing supplies from the United States to France. Saint-André was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror. After his release in 1795, he served as French consul to Algiers and then Smyrna, and he was imprisoned by the Ottoman Empire from 1798-1801. Napoleon Bonaparte later appointed Saint-André a prefect in what is now Germany, and Saint-André died in Mainz in 1813.

Daily Grind: Speedbowl Voice To Work With Local Truck Series; Stafford Announcement Coming

Waterford Speedbowl announcer John Gates will also be the voice of the New England Truck Series in 2014.

Daily Grind 300 Box“I always felt the New England Truck Series needed an announcer to get things a little more pumped up for the fans and to give more info on upcoming and past events,” Gates said in a release. “This really is a great series and I’m excited to help it grow.”

Gates also works with fellow Speedbowl announcers Matt Buckler and Dave Baribault hosting the weekly Overdrive Radio Show Saturday’s on 94.9 FM in Connecticut.

— The Stafford Motor Speedway Facebook page was teasing a special announcement for Friday.

Stafford officials are expected to announce a key marketing partner to help replace what the track lost when CarQuest ended its longtime support of the facility after the 2013 season.

— The Little T Quarter Midget Club will host its Family Night Out at Tri State Speedway in Dudley, Mass. on Feb. 8 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The event is open to the public. The cost is $40 for those racing and $20 for non-racers. The proceeds will go to supporting the Little T Quarter Midget Club.

  1. What the NETS need is more trucks. It’s a fun division but having 6 to 8 trucks race one weekend is not a good turn out.

    My idea would be to turn it into a proper pro tour. Try to do what VMRS, ROC, ACT, PASS and GSPSS is doing. Do 100 lap or more races with bigger pay outs. It might drive more drivers and trucks and fans to the series. And It would be the only tour in the North East that dose what they do other then the NASCAR Trucks.

    But hey that’s just my two cents.

    I honestly thought the big announcement was going to be an add on of a new tour to the Stafford 2014 schedule. Like ARCA. They have recently been going to many short tracks in the last few years. But an announcement of a new sponsor sounds a little bit more sane. XD

  2. NETS does need more trucks, but a 100 lap race with 6-8 trucks is no better than a 25 lap race with 6-8 trucks.

    The trucks are essentially a street stock/sportsman tour with different bodies. I think with what they’re doing to contain costs, the numbers will grow. Pump fuel, crate motors, and hard tires that are fast for more than half a season… they’re doing everything they need to do to attract racers, except get the word out to guys looking for something new to race. I think their numbers will grow as more people take notice they can have fun and race competitively at half dozen tracks for less than it costs to run a dare stock or sportsman.

i have an internet business, do i charge tax?

Since I was Featured, I have gotten this question probably 20 times.

The Internet takes tax-free shopping to a new level. In fact, no-tax shopping has become a prime lure of online retailers looking to hook consumers on click-and-charge buying. Despite what you sometimes hear, however, some Internet sales are subject to sales tax, and even when a site doesn't collect sales tax, consumers are technically responsible for remitting any unpaid sales tax on online purchases directly to their state.

If you a run business with a physical storefront, collecting sales tax is pretty straightforward: you charge your customers the sales tax required by the jurisdiction where your business is located. So, if you operate a retail store in Nashville, Tennessee, you collect both state and local sales taxes from customers buying merchandise at your store.

Now, suppose you start selling your products online. Does mean you charge them the same sales taxes on those coming into your store? It depends.

If your business has a physical presence in a state, such as a store, office or warehouse, you must collect applicable state and local sales tax from your customers. If you do not have a presence in a particular state, you are not required to collect sales taxes. In legal terms, this physical presence is known as a "nexus." Each state defines nexus differently, but all agree that if you have store or office of some sort, a nexus exists. If you are uncertain, whether or not your business qualifies as a physical presence, contact your state's revenue agency. If you do not have a physical presence in a state, you are not required to collect sales taxes from customers in that state.

ok, so...what IS a treasury?

i have actually been getting the question a lot
from my not-so-etsy familiar friends.
i am going to break it down the easiest way i know how. it's a collage of pieces, that someone has put together of their favorite items, or just plain items that look good together. there are bajillions of treasuries on etsy that you can browse. when you are at the front page and you see that pretty collection...that IS a treasury that someone has put together. AND how they made it there, was by you clicking on the items in the treasury. the more popular the treasury, the more it moves up to the front and has a chance to make it to the front page! this is wonderful exposure for an artist. but treasuries expire! so it's important to get that link out there as fast as you can and get as much exposure as possible.
because most will never see the light of day.
treasuries are not used for self promotion, so the items in my treasury here, are other artists that i am promoting.
i feel badly about how many treasuries i am in, i am kind of a treasury hog. i wake up to usually 3-4 a day. i cannot promote them all, as i feel like 3-4 postings a day is really too much. i hope that no one ever thinks that i do not appreciate their efforts, but if i posted all of them, i'd see my fan base drop from over posting.

some are really pretty, some are funky and some are quite 'interesting'. i end up promoting the ones that i feel have major eye appeal in hopes it will get some serious clicks. well, for the first time ever, i made my own. and let me tell you, it took me close to 2 hours. it's really time consuming going through your favorites, browsing, and just making this look like a piece of art on it's own. you then have to contact everyone you feature, and let them know so they as well can promote the link. so, here you go. my very first treasury created by me. please, click your life away.

Pelosi not out to save the Planet - Updated

Pelosi's adamant refusal to bring the issue of drilling for oil on the continental shelf to a vote is not so much about saving the planet as it is about saving Democratic backsides.

UPDATE: Today, August 1, 2008, Pelosi and the Democrats turned off the lights and microphones and adjourned the House while the Republicans were still debating the drilling issue. Please view the Video update.

If Democrats don't have to publicly vote for or against increasing American oil production, the "great unwashed populus" of the United States does not need to know where they stand. If the masses don't know for sure that Democrats would rather the United States remain dependent on other countries for oil (much the same way they want the American people dependent on a 'nanny' government for basic needs), then they will not do any damage to the great Obama's (bow down, unworthy ones!) chances for winning the Presidency - not just of the US but of the WORLD!

Pelosi would rather our country lurch leftward and toward second world status in the name of "saving the environment" with a socialist/Marxist leaning President than for our country to regain and maintain greatness and strength among the nations.

Off to the big smoke

For christmas Nanna gave the kids passes to go to "White WaterWorld" at the Gold Coast. So we're off to Theme Park strip tomorrow. And then on to Brisbane to visit my brother

It's almost daunting going to the city from our lovely peaceful place BUT everyone is so excited at the prospect of an holiday and it has been so much fun today discussing it all and packing...

The kids want to go to the museum if we have time to see the dinosaur bones...but the weekend is already pretty full...we shall see.

I've been promising my brother we'd visit his new house for awhile (I think he moved in two years ago) so we're well over due for a visit.

See you all after the weekend!

The Magic Onions said...

Hope you have a lovely visit. I'm sure it'll be great fun and only strengthen your love for where you live.

I know what you mean... civilization visits... eekk! I've been living up in Cape York in a remote indigenous community for 3 years now... completely addicted to the simple life.... your blog is very inspiring! love & light xox

Indian Summer

What do you think when you catch me trying to catch your eye?
Will you look at me and say `yeah, let's go for a ride.'
Or just glance past to the guy down the street ten years my junior?
And who's reflexes caught you sooner

Am I that one you want me to be?
Or just another you pretend not to see?
Do I have a chance to get into your head?
Or am I headed towards another night alone in my bed?

The Indian summer brings them all out
Keeps me glued to that corner watching their route
One last day for backless dresses and strappy sandals
One last night for no regrets and a throwaway scandal

Sat on that stoop from dawn to dusk
Watching my mood turn from love to lust
Spread what's left of my hair across my top
Flex my arms as if that'll make you stop

Blow two hours running and lifting in the gym every day
Not that it'll keep grim reality away
Got rid of the beer, the smokes and the wine
Like somehow that'll turn back time

Someone said this getting old isn't for cowards no sir
And I'm the living proof, that's for sure
Just about at the halfway point, maybe a little more
Is the fun part of this ride really over?

I got one more Indian Summer to sit and stare
Another weekend to be stuck in my lair
In my head we dance down the street
In my heart you make me believe

Not going to go away just yet
This heart's got one more big get
Get my self off this corner for just one day
And chase you down and make you stay

Pictures of Rag Quilt

Here are the pictures of the rag quilt I made. I had to go to my mom's house to wash it. We are still not able to wash clothes at home. Anyway, the colors are more beautiful in person, but at least you get the idea. The back, which I forgot to take a picture of, is identical to the front only not rag. It measures approx. 25 x 25 in.

The cool thing is that I have someone who wants to buy this already and she hasn't even seen it. She's just going on mine and my husband's word on what it looks like. Everything I've made so far I've sold before I get to put it on Etsy.

By the way, I've also started making Scrabble tile pendants. I'll try to get the pics of those on tomorrow. I have 6 made already and I hope to have a couple of them sold tomorrow. We'll see!

Random Curiosity

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon – 10 »« Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon – 08

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon – 09

「運動会！（ひねりも何もないですね）」 (Undoukai! (Hinerimo Naidesune)
“Sports Festival! (There’s No Twist or Anything)”

Just like the episode title promised, there weren’t any surprises this week and instead we were given exactly what we were promised — an episode full of cute familial moments.

Plutonic Family.. sort of

There was a really well written comment about a month back that compared Kobayashi’s current lifestyle to that of a typical family. And while it slightly differed with how Tooru described things (if I remember correctly the commenter put Kobayashi and Tooru as the parents), I think there’s a lot of merit in comparing our three main characters relationships to a typical family. Not only does it help justify Kobayashi’s continued behavior as the best mom of the season, but it makes for some awfully heartwarming moments that just couldn’t have happened without the right amount of preparation. Using this week’s example as a prime example, if we’re being brutally honest not much actually happened this week. Looking at things from lowest level possible, this episode was simply Kobayashi surprising Kanna by taking time off combined with Kanna and Saikawa having a fun time while getting cheered on by their parents. Something that truly didn’t have all that much going on.

But this show is about a lot more than that. It’s about the subtlety in every characters actions and the inside jokes that you just don’t get unless you’ve been paying attention. From the camera quickly panning to Kanna’s shaky hands while trying to be a big girl to Shouta sucking it up and dragging Lucoa over when he needed to show the judge something world-class, it’s these moments that really push this show past a simple slice-of-life that happens to have dragons in it. And let’s also not forget the intricate situation that Tooru and Kobayashi are in. With both of them having their own unique troubles when it comes to self-worth as well as understanding and empathizing with others, it’s been an absolute blast watching them grow into better people together. And if I had a complaint (and it’s a small one at that), it would be that I’d like to see more into Tooru’s past as well as see a certain character. Notice how I said “it would” because there’s still ample time for all these things to happen!

And while I could go on and on about all the other things that I love about this show, let me just end with a quick remark about the original topic of family. I think by this point in the show it’s clear — while Kobayashi, Tooru, and Kanna are a family I think you could say everyone at this point comprises one big Maid Dragon family.

Looking Ahead

And with that let’s bring this post to a close before things get too long. I’ll catch you guys next week for more Maid Dragon goodness. See you then!

    This was a great episode and I enjoyed it immensely. Kanna was too cute, asking Kobayashi to take time off work to attend the sports festival. I expected things to get messy, what with Kanna’s misinterpretations of Riko’s explanation of what the sports festival actually entails, but was happy to see Kanna show such restraint.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:06 pmTakaii

      Kanna is hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:07 pmTakaii

      Was I the only one who heard a Lickitung sound in my head when that happened?

      With all the things Kanna has eaten so far in this show, I wouldn’t be surprised if she went ahead and ate Saikawa as well. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    • March 9, 2017 at 1:13 pmsadamitsu

      Dragons lick each other clean like animals and Tooru and Kanna have licked each other before.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:08 pmTakaii

      ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • March 9, 2017 at 4:56 amTitanAnteus

    Yeah… They’ve definitely completely cut Iruru.

    She was originally the one that instigated Kanna to get attention from Kohbayashi another way. They turned parents day into a sports festival and cut all mention of Iruru’s character. She definitely wont make it into the anime.

    This also guarantees that the anime will not get a second season. Iruru’s very important to the plot and w/o her they really can’t keep going.

    That’s… kinda sad tbh. The manga scanlators have lost motivation to work on the manga because the anime’s doing well so I doubt that’ll come back and the anime has no intention of going very far into the source. It’s kinda disappointing.

    • March 9, 2017 at 5:32 amNoel

      I think the anime will end on tohru’s father visit, in the manga it was impactful and Kobayashi was so badass on that scene

    • March 9, 2017 at 7:33 ambassgs435

      How many of Kyoani adaptations are actually faithful to the source, covering events as they’re told in the source? Kyoani’s a good studio for animation, but when it comes to making faithful adaptations, they suck. They ALWAYS introduce some change

      • March 9, 2017 at 8:01 amstarss

        KyoAni does this a lot, but it just puzzles me that not only do they detour into an anime original story or adapt something from a spin-off book when there is ample material they can still adapt from the main story, but they do it all the time!

      • March 9, 2017 at 7:39 pmLonghaul

        Besides rearranging events a little to fit the anime format Kyoani has been pretty faithful to the source material. They even resisted having Elma appear early.

      • March 10, 2017 at 1:51 pmstarss

        In Phantom World, Lulu the fairy creature was created purely for the anime. Chuunibyo had TWO anime-only characters in the main cast!

    • March 9, 2017 at 7:57 pmJeffers

      well, they can still insert iruru by making an original episode (with the plot not in manga) then go back to following the manga.

      either way, yes more likely we will not see a second season of this anime. if the material is to be based, we are yet to see a major plot of sort. and if i am to PREDICT what is the ending, more likely it will be when tooru and the dragons go back to their world.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:11 pmTakaii

      I’ve actually been SUPER concerned about how they’d introduce Iruru.

      With the type of story they’ve been telling thus far, I feel like you’d need at least two episodes to really handle introducing and building up Iruru properly.

      Who knows though — maybe she’ll make a surprise appearance.

  • March 9, 2017 at 7:55 amstarss

    Well, we got more Kanna than ever before this week, and I can confirm that I am now lying in the hospital bed after a heart attack and a diagnosis of diabetes. :D Thanks, anime. It was worth it!

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:11 pmTakaii

  • March 9, 2017 at 10:41 amWorldwidedepp

    Okay, seems like he began to get used to her
    so, danger avoided that he drifting into the Yaoi corner.

  • March 9, 2017 at 11:20 amWorldwidedepp

    An Question for the Kanna-san fans…

    Do she perhaps has some kind of Mental Power? I mean, in this Rope jumping contest, she could easily let the group jump in Sync, if she “helps” them to jump… or the Kinds learn this Sync group plays with help of an Music, while they doing their stuff, they “dancing” (in their minds) to the music…

    • March 9, 2017 at 11:24 amWorldwidedepp

      i mean this kind of Music could help.. (sorry, an MMD Clone) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Edc2BqwacQ

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:12 pmTakaii

      I don’t think she has any special powers. Plus, she’s been very considerate about following Kobayashi’s rule of not overdoing things/revealing she’s a dragon.

    • March 12, 2017 at 7:52 amCrook

      I think you’re reading too far into it, it was just an optimistic episode about kids doing sports.

      • March 12, 2017 at 10:22 amWorldwidedepp

        Well, i got this idea because i could sense he iron will to win the competition

  • March 9, 2017 at 11:50 amPO

    This episode was like a propaganda project to tell young men and women who’re not interested in propagating who to get off the screen and go have real relationships and children, lol.

    • March 9, 2017 at 12:31 pmWorldwidedepp

      or the like “Mirror” in Gabriel-dropout of Shutins…

  • March 9, 2017 at 6:38 pmBelac77

    Kanna and her GF are the best part of the show xD

  • March 9, 2017 at 8:03 pmJeffers

    saikawa’s reaction when kanna is close to her is normal… kanna is a very effing super effective bio-weapon that can induce diabetes to all people that she get’s contacted with.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:13 pmTakaii

      You could say Kanna is shocking.

      Get it. She’s an electricity dragon. Get it? Laugh please :’^)

  • March 9, 2017 at 10:01 pmJeffers

    this live reaction video in youtube just proves how everyone is going diabetic in every kanna scene

    special mention that moment kanna hugged kobayashi… everybody just went d’aww

    • March 10, 2017 at 1:54 pmstarss

      I would give anything to be in a live public screening of a Dragon Maid episode!

  • March 10, 2017 at 5:43 amGinobi47

    Kanna is number 1. This is a undisputed and scientific fact… and not because I am a lolicon.

  • March 10, 2017 at 4:48 pmBear

    Hell, you could take out the fact that they’re dragons and this would still be a great show. I thought this show would just be about Tohru but Kanna is what’s making this great. Amazing how these two have changed Kobayashi’s life for the better while she has done the same for them, but none of those changes is really earth shattering. I just feel better after watching an episode like this.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:14 pmTakaii

      Truly this anime deserves a “sasuga kyoani” tag on it

  • March 10, 2017 at 11:53 pmjcoe

    Funny to see all the jealous mothers in the crowd as Lucoa cheers on for Shouta-kun. And it seems Shouta’s parents are just nonchalantly sitting there as Lucoa’s jumping behind them, in approval of her as Shouta’s familiar.

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:16 pmTakaii

      Have you seen how competitive parents get?

      The best feeling is probably when you can sit there nonchalantly because you know you’re going to win :^)

  • March 11, 2017 at 1:40 pmmac65

    Kobayashi is a F### of a lot stronger than she appears.
    She struggled with her decision to go; she committed herself
    to going (not giving up her work responsibility in the process);
    and she engaged herself in Kanna’s activity when she went.

    None of this “Work Comes First” or no, “My Family Comes First” BS.
    She choose both, made her decision, not recklessly and knew her limits,
    and gracefully powered through everything.

    Who wouldn’t want that in a person – in ourselves!

    Great episode!

    • March 11, 2017 at 2:21 pmTakaii

      I think the best way to describe that moment when you realized just how amazing Kobayashi is was when Takiya mentions that Kobayashi decided she wanted to go to the sports festival but she corrects him and says she decided she ought to go (implying this about wanting or not but more of I should be there and I’m working to be there).

    • March 12, 2017 at 10:27 amWorldwidedepp

      as takaii wrote, she could go to this Sports festival, because of work buddy. So he is an nice guy

  • March 15, 2017 at 12:16 pmWorldwidedepp

    Ep 10:

    Nice done

    Also, it is good that Kanna understand to control her Powers, to avoid harm any Human. Imagine an Girl with these strong Powers, giving an “slap” to an merely Human. Fafnir would be proud

    So Bis Sister and “Mother” here, is an anchor for her restraining

It’s a combination of driving skill, style and showmanship. It’s all about loss of the rear wheel traction while keeping the race car in total control. Drifting is so popular because it brings all the best aspects of motor sports into one package. ____________________________________

1001199_10151728969039210_262961048_nBy Rick Polo (Editor-in-Chief)

Local comic book writer Chris Yambar had a vision some four years ago. That vision was to give his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio the experience of the popular Comic Con comic book showcases that other major cities have annually. He took it upon himself to organize a free showcase held on his own front lawn.

Now, in its fourth year, Yambar’s Lawn Con boasts an eclectic lineup of mainstream and independent artists and writers, as well as all the specialties you’ll find at any other Comic Con. Also, even some surprises that you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

Yambar, who is well-known in the comic industry for his Mr. Beat series, keeps his annual showcase free for the public and for featured artists alike. He does this because independent artists often get shafted at larger events.

“The independent guys, self-publishers and small press guys, are always having their prices jacked up to compete with the other high-priced tables and it’s not fair,” said Yambar. “Some of these people are driving from all over the country, they deserve to be able to sell their stuff at a reasonable price and walk away with something.”

Yambar also indicated that the money it takes for an independent artist to set up a table at a major event is equal to what they could use to publish themselves on a mass scale.

“It costs them $500 to $800 to do a show. As a small press guy, that’s a lot of money. That’s a ton of printing for a lot of things,” said Yambar.

He stressed the importance of smaller publishers and why their work is important.

“These guys are what it’s all about. The small publishers have a lot of passion and love for what they do. There’s some really interesting people coming this year, a little something for everybody,” said Yambar.

Lawn Con 4 will also feature a good selection of mainstream artists too. Some of the people behind The Simpsons and the actor who portrays Spawn will be attending, along with some pop-artists including an artist behind Popeye the Sailor.

“We’ve got Spawn coming this year,” said Ymabar. “We’re all really excited to get to hang out with him.”

The showcase will also be unique in many ways to that of run-of-the-mill comic book shows. Aside from the arrays of exclusive independent talent, there will be a side-show featuring unique talents, stand-up comedians and live performances from local acts Baroque Monody and Phoenix Rising.

Recently, Yambar discovered that DC Comics and Warner Bros. in particular, held an event called “Lawn Con” in San Diego. He indicated that he was displeased with their lack of research before naming and holding the event.

“Would it have killed to do as much as to Google the name before using it? I’m not against what they’re doing, but I just wish they would have done their homework first. I did this for three years prior. I’m not after their money. I just want credit for the idea. I’d love to see Lawn Con Albuquerque someday. It would just have to be done right,” said Yambar.

Lawn Con 4 will be held on Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Yambar’s front yard, located on 23 South Hartford Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio. The event is free, but all donations will go toward children’s literacy via First Book Mahoning Valley.

“This year we are again proud to partner with Amy Neral and First Book Mahoning Valley by providing an environment to not only encourage literacy, but to make sure that every child has the opportunity to read and own their first ever book. Over the past 3 years, Lawn Con and First Book have put hundreds of free children’s books into the hands of young readers without charging them or their parents a dime. We’re excited to continue this tradition,” said Yambar in a mission statement.

Interview With Dear Kate

I had the opportunity to review Dear Kate underwear a month or so ago, and I loved them. If you’re unfamiliar with Dear Kate, definitely check out my review! Dear Kate redefined underwear with their patent-pending Underlux blend of fabric that is wicking, stain-releasing, and leak-resistant.

Recently, I received an email from them inviting me to their Kickstarter launch party this week. Sadly, I can’t make it. Launch party for what you ask? Well, they are coming out with yoga pants!

The campaign revolves around #GOCOMMANDO since they are creating yoga pants using the same revolutionary material their underwear uses. Meaning, you don’t need to wear underwear under yoga pants and worry about panty lines. In my last Dear Kate post, a few readers told me they go commando in workout gear…so this is perfect for you!

Here is what the pants will look like:

dear kate yoga pants

I wanted to take the time to do a quick interview with Dear Kate’s marketing guru, Jenna Steckel. I think this is an amazing product, and they have had some great collaborations, such as one with Believe I Am. Keep your eye on them!

Can you give us a little background on Dear Kate and how you got started? What was your inspiration for creating this product for women?

Julie Sygiel, 26, had the idea for Dear Kate while in an entrepreneurship class in college. A chemical engineering student and mega feminist, she wanted to find a way to combine those interests. In her dorm’s bathroom, she’d see women scrubbing, then inevitably throwing out, their period-stained underwear every month, and she knew there had to be a better way. So for her final project for the course, she proposed a new type of underwear that would provide women with the support their bodies need. She spent the two years after graduation making that vision a reality. She worked with with fabric mills, asked everyone she knew to test out prototypes, and dove into the world of entrepreneurship. What she came up with is underwear that is silky soft and unbelievably comfortable, with a patent-pending blend of fabrics that is stain-releasing, machine washable, wicking, and protects like a pantiliner without plastic inserts or bulk, making them leak-proof for up to three teaspoons of liquid.

Who are the Dear Kate panties perfect for?

Dear Kates are perfect for every stage in a woman’s life cycle: from a girl’s first period when she wants to be completely secure, to every period after that when you just don’t want to deal with it, to new moms experiencing changes in their bodies, to working out, or any day you just want to feel invincible.

Can you tell us about your current Kickstarter campaign? Why did you decide to make yoga pants as well?

 The Kickstarter for our new yoga pants actually launched today!

Dear Kate has become a cult favorite among professional athletes and fitness-conscious women, who tell us how much they appreciate their ability to wick sweat and prevent workout leaks. It was a natural transition to create an expanded line of fitness apparel. When customers asked when Dear Kate would expand its line to include more fitness apparel, we asked what they most wanted. The response was an unequivocal “yoga pants!”

It makes perfect sense: comfortable, intimate, athletic, versatile, and stylish, yoga pants have become a staple of both performance and street wear. But they’re not quite perfect yet, so we set about to do for yoga pants what we had done to underwear. We began by asking our customers and friends what they hated, loved, and wished for in their yoga pants. Turns out we hit a nerve, because over 900 women responded. Many felt so passionately that an online survey wasn’t enough, so Julie took calls from and met up with women who saw the chance to finally get the pair they had always imagined. Meanwhile, Julie tried out 70 of the leading yoga pants on the market, experiencing firsthand the assets and woes of each style.

We took this input to the drawing board, designing a fit and style sure to fit and flatter the wide range of women’s real bodies. We tested fabrics until we found one that is solid yet light, soft, and guaranteed see-through proof. We even sent it to an industrial pilling machine to make sure it doesn’t pill.

Julie tried out each prototype on the yoga mat and in the streets until she found the pair she never wanted to take off. With a small inset of Dear Kate’s patent pending Underlux fabric, these pants offer the protection of Dear Kate’s underwear technology while allowing you to go commando. No VPL (Visible Panty Lines), no bunching or riding up, and no stress over winging it or feeling pressure to wear thongs. Just comfort and freedom of movement.

What else is in store for Dear Kate in the future?

We’re expanding more into athletic wear, as our Believe I Am collection with Olympic runner Ro McGettigan and our Hazel sport collection have become customer favorites. The yoga pants are the first step in this new direction! On the underwear front, we have an exciting guest artist designed collection coming up this summer, and a new line of lacy favorites launching soon as well. We definitely envision Dear Kate as a company that’s reimagining a woman’s entire wardrobe, piece by piece, and Julie is excited to hit the lab to get to focus more on new product development.

What do you think about water-resistant undies and pants?

Do you go commando during workouts & runs?

Imagine a Story: Life Cycles

This bag includes a lift-the-flap book and three sets of plastic life cycles. The worm and ant ones smell weirdly horrible and came out of the package that way. Nobody seems to mind though.

  • What will I be? by Nicola Davies: 9780763658038
  • The butterfly life cycle stage came from Discount School Supply, but they don't sell that particular set anymore.
  • The worm and ant life cycles are from Insect Lore, which can be bought on Amazon. They were a donation, otherwise I'd get something different that doesn't have that horrible plastic smell.

Imagine a Story: Tea Party

This bag includes a hardcover book (it's a lot harder than you might think it is to find a picture book that features a tea party) and most of a set of dishes. I say "most" because we're always losing pieces and not all of them fit anyways. So I just say "cooking set" and let it go at that.

Source of materials:

  • Florentine and Pig by Eva Katzler (hardcover): 9781599909493
  • Set of dishes from Discount School Supply. I've been unable to find it again, so I think it's no longer available, but there are plenty of plastic dish sets. I liked this one because it had a teapot.

NAF, Kermit Gosnell, and Baby Boy A

From the Grand Jury report on Kermit Gosnell:
Baby Boy A... was a boy born in July 2008 to a 17-year-old we will call "Sue." Sue first met Gosnell at the Atlantic Women's Medical Services, an abortion clinic in Wilmington, Delaware, where Gosnell worked one day a week.

Note: This Delaware clinic was, and remains, a National Abortion Federation member.
The girl was accompanied by her great aunt, who had agreed to pay for the procedure, and who testified before the Grand Jury.

After an ultrasound was performed on Sue, Gosnell told the aunt that the girl's pregnancy was further along than she had originally told him, and that, therefore, the procedure would cost more than the $1,500 that had been agreed upon; it would now cost $2,500. (Gosnell normally charged $1,625 for 23-24 week abortions.) The aunt paid Gosnell in cash at the Delaware clinic. He inserted laminaria, gave Sue pills to begin labor, and instructed her to be at the Women's Medical Center in Philadelphia at 9:00 the next morning.

Again, this all took place in a clinic that a careful prospective patient, wanting to avoid quacks like Gosnell, would be referred to by the National Abortion Federation, or other prochoice organizations, with the assurance that it was a top-rate clinic, with only the best and most professional physicians, providing only the best of care.
Sue arrived with her aunt at 9:00 a.m. and did not leave the clinic until almost 11:00 that night. An ultrasound conducted by Kareema Cross recorded a gestational age of 29.4 weeks. Cross testified that the girl appeared to be seven or eight months pregnant. Cross said that, during 13-plus hours, the girl was given a large amount of Cytotec to induce labor and delivery. Sue complained of pain and was heavily sedated. According to Cross, the girl was left to labor for hours and hours. Eventually, she gave birth to a large baby boy. Cross estimated that the baby was 18 to 19 inches long. She said he was nearly the size of her own six pound, six ounce, newborn daughter.

After the baby was expelled, Cross noticed that he was breathing, though not for long. After about 10 to 20 seconds, while the mother was asleep, "the doctor just slit the neck," said Cross. Gosnell put the boy's body in a shoebox. Cross described the baby as so big that his feet and arms hung out over the sides of the container. Cross said that she saw the baby move after his neck was cut, and after the doctor placed it in the shoebox. Gosnell told her, "it's the baby's reflexes. It's not really moving."

The neonatologist [who testified to the Grand Jury] testified that what Gosnell told his people was absolutely false. If a baby moves, it is alive. Equally troubling, it feels a "tremendous amount of pain" when its spinal cord is severed. So, the fact that Baby Boy A continued to move after his spinal cord was cut with scissors means that he did not die instantly. Maybe the cord was not quite completely severed. In any case, his few moments of life were spent in excruciating pain.

Cross was not the only one startled by the size and maturity of Baby Boy A. Adrienne Moton and Ashley Baldwin, along with Cross, took photographs because they knew this was a baby that could and should have lived. Cross explained:
Q. Why did you all take a photograph of this baby?

A. Because it was big and it was wrong and we knew it. We knew something was wrong.
* * *

I'm not sure who took the picture first, but when we seen this baby, it was -- it was a shock to us because I never seen a baby that big that he had done. So it was -- I knew something was wrong because everything, like you can see everything, the hair, eyes, everything. And I never seen for any other procedure that he did, I never seen any like that.

The neonatologist viewed a photograph of Baby Boy A. Based on the baby's size, hairline, muscle mass, subcutaneous tissue, well-developed scrotum, and other characteristics, the doctor opined that the boy was at least 32 weeks, if not more, in gestational age.

Gosnell simply noted the baby boy's size by joking, as he often did after delivering a large baby. According to Cross, the doctor said: "This baby is big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop."

The doctor released Sue to go home 13 or 14 hours after she arrived. Her aunt described her condition: "She was moaning. She was standing up. She was like holding her stomach, doubled over." She remained in pain for days and could barely eat. When she developed a fever, her aunt called Gosnell. He instructed the aunt to take her temperature and asked if she was taking pain medicine he had given her -- which she was. But he did not have her come in to be checked out. And he did not suggest that she go to a hospital. When Sue started throwing up a few days later, her grandmother contacted a different doctor, who told her to get to a hospital right away.

Sue was admitted to Crozier-Chester Hospital. Doctors there found that she had a severe infection and blood clots that had traveled to her lungs. According to Kareema Cross, who spoke to the aunt, Sue almost died. The teen stayed at the hospital for a week and a half. She became extremely thin and took months to recover, according to her aunt.

You can read here about the National Abortion Federation and the empty promises they make patients. In particular, on their web site, they promise:
NAF believes in setting the highest standards of quality abortion care. NAF's Clinical Policy Guidelines (CPGs) serve as a convenient and readily usable set of systematically developed statements that assist practitioners in their efforts to provide quality, patient-centered care. ....

.... The CPGs strive to allow for individual practitioner choices, patient care concerns, and provide a baseline of quality abortion care.

NAF's Clinical Services Department works with NAF's more than 400 institutional members to ensure compliance with the Clinical Policy Guidelines by conducting Quality Assurance and Improvement (QAI) site visits during which each guideline is addressed. Members who have completed the site visit process receive a certificate of compliance. Members also complete self-evaluations annually and receive a window decal signifying their compliance.

The standards in the CPGs for hiring physicians seem a bit ambiguous:
Standard 1: Abortion must be performed by licensed physicians ....

Standard 2:: All personnel performing abortions must receive training in the performance of abortions and in the prevention, recognition, and management of complications.

They're not very specific, are they?

Then there's something that they only recommend, but don't set as a standard: "Appropriate referrals should be available for patients who cannot be cared for at your facility." Does letting Kermit Gosnell take Sue to his filthy mill count as an appropriate referral?

Nothing else in the Guidelines really applies to Gosnell, I suppose. He was good enough to work at a NAF facility, and what he did under his own roof with NAF patients was, I presume, up to his individual judgment.

The Grand Jury noted that Gosnell's reputation as a dangerous practitioner who ran a seedy, unsanitary clinic was known to "community groups" who had helped some women try to file complaints. Evidently NAF never checked -- or required their member clinic to check -- Gosnell's reputation. The member clinic evidently never checked the facility to which they were allowing Gosnell to treat their patients. And even after the NAF inspector had seen it for herself, and found it appalling, the organization showed no concern for the affiliation between their member clinic and Kermit Gosnell.

The Grand Jury noted that "at least six patients were referred from Atlantic to Gosnell's clinic in Philadelphia for illegal late-term abortions. These patients paid Atlantic for late-term procedures performed by Gosnell in his Lancaster Avenue clinic. We heard evidence that Gosnell would insert laminaria in patients in Delaware and then have them come to his Philadelphia office for the abortion procedure itself.

Note that this behavior is similar to the behavior NAF found so reprehensible in Steven Chase Brigham.
The director of Atlantic Women's Medical Services, Leroy Brinkley, was unconcerned. He did not properly supervise the doctors he hired as "independent contractors" to assure that they were complying with the law. Remarkably, despite Gosnell's long time association with Atlantic, Brinkley only produced three files for patients seen by Gosnell at Brinkley's clinic.

But it's no surprise to me that NAF turned such a blind eye to the way Brinkley ran his clinics, if all he was doing was letting Gosnell troll for illegal late-abortion patients there. Brinkley had nothing on other NAF members, who over the years have included:

  • Abu Hayat, "The Butcher of Avenue A", who killed a teenage abortion patient and gained national notoriety when he ripped the arm off a 32-week fetus who was shortly thereafter born alive and maimed.

  • Hanan Rotem, who, after the death of abortion patient Gloria Aponte, was discovered to have been allowing his untrained receptionist to administer general anesthesia.

  • Eastern Women's Center, responsible for at least three patient deaths, and so chaotically run that for three days they were unable to find their medical director.

  • Family Planning Associates Medical Group, a mega-chain of abortion mills responsible for a dozen patient deaths that I know of, and whose founder, Edward Allred, admitted in a deposition that he never did a preventability study after a patient death.

  • Midtown Hospital in Atlanta, that was finally closed down after decades of debacles including a disgusting late-abortion scandal.

  • Summit Medical Center of Alabama, where a nurse nearly killed a near-term abortion patient by attempting an RU-486 abortion on her. (Three of four seedy abortion clinics disciplined in Alabama turned out to be NAF members.)

    Either NAF's standards are pretty low, or they're not very good at enforcing them. Just look at how these women who trusted NAF died.

    Yes, I realize that there is also a pretty big story in the way public officials dropped the ball again and again. But the National Abortion Federation insists that these organizations really aren't needed, that regulations and government oversight just make abortion services less "accessible", and "limit choices", and aren't really necessary for safety.

    What's been done to that poor baby just breaks my heart. Why??? :-(

    Oubli said...

    I can be wholeheartedly pro-choice, support abortion, parenting, adoption, birth control and still be completely morally against quacks preforming illegal, late term abortions!

    Ioannes said...

    No you cannot Oubli. THIS IS the criminal truth of "Pro Choice", "supporting abortion", and "contraception". It all leads to this in the end.

    Graham Aitchison said...

    How can someone like this even claim to be a human being. That poor baby. What did he ever do to deserve such a horrible fate? This absolutely sickens me.
