ok so maybe we weren't actually there at midnight but the sun was definitely setting! while we were in DC, we went and saw all the monuments and memorials later in the evening and it was the best idea ever because it was less crowded and you're also not wasting time that could be spent in the museums (the museums close, the monuments are open 24/7).
hi guys! i don't have a technical travel guide, but wanted to share some tips and advice from my recent trip to DC. we were there for my dad's reunion, so our time was split up in the middle, but we ended up spending 4.5 days in DC, including a day in Mt. Vernon + Alexandria.
hi! this post is from a few weeks ago when i was in NYC - bagels for breakfast, met in the afternoon. doesn't really get any better than that, does it?
how pretty is the bradley estate?! this was a TOTAL surprise but ended up being so fun. we went the day after I got back from NYC and i was down to have a low-key day hanging around the house, especially since my flight home was the following day. but my cousin lauren mentioned it, and my aunt kathy is also really into true food (ie. food that isn't processed and sprayed with a bajillion chemicals) so we decided to go check it out :) SO glad we did.
sorry for the upcoming photo overload, but its new york so i hadddd to! such a magical place.
hi guys :) so i mentioned in my last post that I had just arrived in Boston and i've now been here a few days! i absolutely love this city (even with the humidity) so it has been tons of fun.


In this episode we take an entirely new angle. I've been wanting to bring in some gurus on particular topics and it brings me great pleasure to start with our spiritual guru Damien Price on Spiritualism and how it fits in the corporate world.
Damien Price is a Christian Brother and has taught for over thirty years in schools throughout Australia and New Zealand. Over the past twenty years Damien has been involved in working with disadvantaged youth, homeless men and women, refugees and Asylum Seekers. Damien has Masters Degrees in Counselling and Pastoral Guidance. Damien's Doctor of Philosophy degree focused on the sense of self that youth grew into as they engaged with homeless people over an extended period of time.
He is now Regional Ministry Coordinator for PNG, Philippines and Timor Leste in a role that has him travelling and organising all over SE Asia.
I have known Damien for 25 years and he is my own spiritual mentor.
What is God and/or who was God and where do people get it wrong?
What is Religion and where do people get it wrong?
Your often describe yourself as a monk. Why is that the most fitting description of you?
What are the vows you take a Christian Brother? Why do you cherish them and what role do they play for you?
You took a break from the Brothers. What drew you away and ultimately what brought you back?
What is the most stinging feedback you've ever received and how did it shape you?
What have you learned about yourself over the past five years?
What mistakes do busy professionals make that is costing them their spirituality?
On a day to day basis what's the most powerful action someone can take to keep and develop a strong spiritual connection?
Does spirituality fit in the boardroom?


Originally developed in the 1930s, Mohs micrographic surgery has been refined into the most advanced, precise, and effective treatment for an increasing variety of skin cancer types. With the Mohs technique, physicians can precisely identify and remove an entire tumor while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact and unharmed.
The Mohs procedure involves surgically removing skin cancer layer by layer and examining the tissue under a microscope until healthy, cancer-free tissue around the tumor is reached (called clear margins). Because the Mohs surgeon is specially trained as a cancer surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon, Mohs surgery has the highest success rate of all treatments for skin cancer – up to 99%.
Other skin cancer treatment methods blindly estimate the amount of tissue to treat, which can result in the unnecessary removal of healthy skin tissue and tumor re-growth if any cancer is missed.
It's helpful to know what to expect before you undergo any surgical procedure. Because the Mohs surgery procedure for skin cancer removal is somewhat complex, it can be reassuring to become familiar with the treatment process ahead of time.
Surgeons usually perform Mohs skin cancer surgery as an outpatient procedure in the office, which has an on-site surgical suite and a laboratory for microscopic examination of tissue. Typically, surgery starts early in the morning and is completed the same day, depending on the extent of the tumor and the amount of reconstruction necessary.
You receive local anesthesia around the area of the tumor, so you are awake during the entire procedure. The use of local anesthesia versus general anesthesia provides numerous benefits, including preventing a lengthy recovery and possible side effects from general anesthesia. You are completely numb in the area of the surgery, though, so the procedure is comfortable.
After the area has been numbed, your Mohs surgeon removes the visible tumor, along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue. A technician then prepares this tissue and puts it on slides for your surgeon to examine under a microscope. If the surgeon sees evidence of cancer around the outer edges of the removed tissue, he or she takes another layer of tissue from the area where the cancer was detected. This ensures that only cancerous tissue is removed during the procedure, minimizing the loss of healthy tissue. Your surgeon repeats these steps until all samples are free of cancer. Although there are always exceptions to the rule, most tumors require 1 to 3 stages for complete removal.
When your surgery is complete, your Mohs surgeon assesses the wound and discusses your options for ideal functional and cosmetic reconstruction. Mohs surgeons understand that a good cosmetic result is an important part of the recovery process, and that's why they work so hard to leave as little tissue damage as possible. If reconstruction is necessary, the Mohs surgeon usually repairs the area the same day as the tumor removal.
The Mohs surgery procedure seems simple: the surgeon removes the cancer, carefully checks to be sure the he or she got it all, then repairs the wound. American College of Mohs Surgery members, however, train in and practice the complex nuances of this process for years so they are prepared to handle any situation they may encounter. This page describes the steps they follow for each Mohs surgical procedure.
Mohs skin cancer surgery is the most effective treatment for most types of skin cancer.
The roots of a skin cancer may extend beyond the visible portion of the tumor. If these roots are not removed, the cancer will recur. A surgery starts with the surgeon examining the visible lesion and planning what tissue to remove. The patient then receives local anesthesia, and the Mohs surgery begins.
The surgeon next removes a deeper layer of skin and divides it into sections. With the help of technicians, the surgeon then color-codes each of these sections with dyes and makes reference marks on the skin to show the source of the sections. A map of the surgical site is then drawn to track exactly where each small portion of tissue originated.
If the surgeon finds cancer cells under the microscope, he or she marks their location on the "map" and returns to the patient to remove another deeper layer of skin — but only from precisely where the cancer cells originated. This method ensures that the Mohs surgery results in the smallest scar possible.
After a Mohs surgery procedure, most patients find the recovery process simple and easy thanks to the streamlined surgical approach that leaves surrounding tissue unharmed. Nonetheless, it's common for patients to wonder what they can expect after a Mohs skin cancer surgery. It's also important to use the post-operative period to plan an ongoing skin cancer detection strategy for the future.
After a Mohs surgical procedure, you may or may not undergo a repair process to mend the wound left by the surgery. A number of different reconstruction options exist, and instructions for aftercare are different depending on which approach the surgeon takes.
Because Mohs surgery is performed in an outpatient setting using only local anesthesia, immediate recovery generally involves little more than resting and simple wound care. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, bleeding, redness, or inflammation, but these are typically temporary and easily manageable.
Although Mohs micrographic surgery has an extremely high success rate that frequently prevents skin cancer from recurring at the same site, monitoring is still very important for Mohs patients. Once you discover that you are prone to skin cancer, diligence is crucial for detecting any new lesions that may form elsewhere on your body.
Mohs surgery is the most effective treatment for most types of skin cancer. We have provided answers to several common questions about Mohs skin cancer surgery below.
Why is it called Mohs surgery? Is Mohs an acronym?
The term "Mohs" refers to Dr. Frederic Mohs, Professor of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin, who developed this surgical technique in the 1930s. The technique has undergone many refinements and has come to be known as "Mohs micrographic surgery" or simply "Mohs surgery" in honor of Dr. Mohs.
Dr. Mohs recognized that a skin cancer often resembles the "tip of the iceberg" with more tumor cells growing downward and outward into the skin like the roots of a tree. These "roots" are not visible with the naked eye, but can be seen under a microscope.
Mohs surgery is a highly specialized and precise treatment for skin cancer in which the cancer is removed in stages, one tissue layer at a time. It is an outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthesia, and is distinguished by a specific technique of tissue examination that is unique to Mohs surgery. Although other surgical specialists may check excision margins, this form of pathologic examination of the tissue is not the same as Mohs surgery.
Once a tissue layer is removed, its edges are marked with colored dyes, and a map of the specimen is created. The tissue is then processed onto microscope slides by a Mohs histotechnician. These slides are carefully examined under the microscope by the Mohs surgeon so that any microscopic roots of the cancer can be precisely identified and mapped. If cancer cells are seen, an additional tissue layer is removed only in areas where the cancer is still present, leaving normal skin intact. This saves as much normal, healthy skin as possible.
Once the cancer has been removed, the Mohs surgeon will explain options for repair of the wound, including natural healing (granulation), stitching the wound together using a side-to-side closure, or using a skin flap or graft.
It's important to choose a fellowship trained Mohs surgeon who is a member of the American College of Mohs Surgery. Mohs College surgeons have undergone at least 1 year of fellowship training beyond dermatology residency, which allows for additional experience in all of these specialized processes and techniques.
I don't see anything after my biopsy. Do I really need to be treated?
Yes. Following a biopsy, your skin cancer may no longer be visible. However, the surface lesion that was removed can represent the "tip of the iceberg." More tumor cells may remain in the skin. These can continue to grow downward and outward, like roots of a tree. These "roots" are not visible with the naked eye. If they are not removed, the tumor will likely reappear and require more extensive surgery.
Tumors that are neglected can spread deeply into the skin and invade nearby structures. On rare occasions, these cancerous cells can metastasize to lymph nodes and other organs in the body.
Why does my skin cancer need to have Mohs surgery?
Please note: the above list is not exhaustive of all of the instances where Mohs surgery is the most appropriate option for your skin cancer.
Although Mohs surgery can take longer than other techniques to perform, advances in technology, such as automated staining of tissue samples, have made it quicker. While it is impossible to predict exactly what timeframe to expect for each Mohs surgery procedure, the entire procedure usually lasts several hours. Rarely, clearing the tumor and reconstructing the defect can take the better part of a day. A consultation with the Mohs surgeon prior to your procedure will allow for the surgeon to understand the unique qualities of your situation and enable him/her to more clearly estimate the extent of the timeframe for the surgery.
Yes. As will any treatment for skin cancer, Mohs surgery will leave a scar.
Mohs surgery preserves as much healthy skin as possible and maximizes options for repairing the surgical defect, once the tumor is completely removed. Once the Mohs surgeon has completely removed your skin cancer through Mohs surgery, reconstruction for optimizing the final functional and cosmetic result becomes the highest priority. Generally, a post-surgical scar improves with time and can take up to 1 year or more to fully mature. As your surgical site heals, new blood vessels can appear and support the healing changes occurring underneath the skin. This can result in the reddish appearance of the scar. This change is temporary and will improve with time.
In addition, the normal healing process involves a period of skin contraction, which often peaks 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. This may appear as a bumpiness or hardening of the scar. On the face, this change is nearly always temporary and the scar will soften and improve with time. If you have a history of abnormal scarring, such as hypertrophic scars or keloids, or if there are problems with the healing of your scar, injections or other treatments may be used to optimize the cosmetic result. Your Mohs surgeon is available for you throughout the healing process to discuss any concerns that may arise.
The American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS), founded by Dr. Frederic Mohs, has established the highest standards of training and patient care for Mohs surgery.
Why is it called the "college" of Mohs surgery?
So the Mohs College (ACMS) isn't an actual school with a campus?
Correct. The American College of Mohs Surgery is a membership organization of 1,400 surgeons who perform Mohs surgery and are committed to advancing the education, research, development, and application of standards and guidelines to advance this specialized procedure.
An MD or DO must have completed a 1 or 2-year Mohs fellowship at one of the 70+ Mohs training programs across the country. Most are 1-year programs, but the programs are identical in all but the length of time it takes to complete them. All Mohs fellows must complete at least 500 Mohs surgery cases during their fellowship. Fellows-in-training must perform most of these cases under the guidance of the training program director, but in a minimum of 125 cases, fellows must be the "primary" surgeon.

Couch: Big Ten basketball adjusting to unusually large middle
Graham Couch
EAST LANSING – The Minnesota Golden Gophers might be the best basketball team in the Big Ten. Northwestern looks headed for the NCAA tournament. Nebraska has wins at Indiana and Maryland. Road teams are winning nearly half the time in conference play. And, after no more than four league games for each team, nobody is undefeated.
Welcome to 2017 Big Ten basketball — where the middle is bloated, the top might be part of the middle, and the brands we've always counted on at the bottom are suddenly as formidable as the top.
Never before has the Big Ten had so many teams legitimately playing for an NCAA tournament bid. That's an easy line to write with certainty, because there have only been 14 teams in the league for a couple of years and there have only been more than 11 teams for only a couple years more than that. Still, what's happening in the Big Ten is unusual.
Before last weekend, nine Big Ten teams were projected to make the NCAA tournament by ESPN's Joe Lunardi and CBS Sports' Jerry Palm. Lunardi had two more Big Ten teams among the first eight left out. And that didn't include Penn State, which beat MSU Saturday and has enough talent to be in the mix.
There also don't appear to be any truly elite teams — Purdue, Wisconsin and, thus far, Minnesota, are the early front runners. All three are ranked in both major polls, but none higher than 17, all with a loss, two with a home loss. Lunardi's NCAA tournament projections have three Big Ten teams as No. 9 seeds and no team better than a 5 (Wisconsin). Palm had three 8 seeds and nobody better than a 4 (Minnesota).
Inconveniently for this column, the top of the league measures up better analytically than it does by human ranking. The Gophers, who finished 8-23 last season, are ranked No. 7 nationally according to the two foremost results-driven metrics formulas (RPI and KPI). The Badgers and Boilermakers are in the top 12, per Kenpom.com and the Sagarin ratings, two respected predictive metrics.
Mostly, the reason for the large middle of the pack is there are very few bad teams in this Big Ten this season, perhaps one — Rutgers — maybe two more — Iowa and Illinois — that early in league play don't look as if they'll be in contention for an NCAA tournament bid.
"I think by far the deepest this league has ever been," MSU coach Tom Izzo said Monday, two days before his team's date with Minnesota tonight, a rematch of their Dec. 27 game in Minneapolis, a one-point Spartans win. "I guess if I looked at today's standings, Ohio State is like 13th, right? They've got like five good players back."
"I think there are four teams that are very, very good," Izzo continued, including Indiana, which, to this point, hasn't been very good. "But the middle, if you want to call it the middle, I mean what's the middle? Are we in the middle? Is Nebraska in the middle? Is Penn State in the middle? I mean those are all pretty good teams. I guess they are in the middle if you look it, even though if you looked at it today they're on the top."
MSU, by every metric other than the standings, is in the middle. The 3-1 Spartans are tied for first place with Minnesota, Purdue and Nebraska, a half-game up on Maryland and Wisconsin.
In both the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) and KPI (a formula produced by MSU assistant athletic director Kevin Pauga — one of six metrics being used by the the NCAA tournament selection committee), the Spartans are fourth in the Big Ten and ranked in the mid-30s nationally.
Eleven Big Ten teams are in the top 72, per KPI, and none of the 14 are as low as 150 (148, Rutgers). This week last year, only seven teams were among the top 72 and three teams were 149 or below, including Minnesota (228) and Rutgers (281), which makes the Gophers' rise to 7 all the more staggering. On the other hand, last year six Big Ten teams were in the KPI top 30 this week. This year, just Minnesota and Maryland.
Still, not since the league expanded beyond 11 teams five years ago has such a large percentage of its teams been rated this solid analytically.
The deep middle and relatively soft top of the Big Ten has created some other interesting numbers. Road teams were 11-14 through 25 Big Ten games entering Tuesday night. Last year, road teams were 7-18 at this point. A year ago, Iowa and Indiana remained unbeaten through seven games. Again, this year, in the second week of January, no unbeatens.
"There are going to be a lot of weird games, a lot of head-scratching games this year," Izzo said.
Not if we begin to realize that, this season, what looks weird is normal.

Q: Change mysql db location when installed with homebrew I just installed mysql via homebrew and I wanted to change the location where mysql stores the databases.  All the stuff I've found so far online have paths that I don't understand and don't exist on my machine (OSX 10.8).
Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

A: If you have MySQL running a simple ps ax | grep mysql will yeld the process path.
Otherwise search your fs for mysqld it will take some time but will get the job done:
sudo find / -type f -name "mysqld"

A find / | grep mysql will print every file containing mysql in its name.
Use MySQLWorkbench, it has a nice GUI which lets you configure INNODBs data path and will also help you managing your instances.
Otherwise edit /etc/my.cnf (or create it if you don't have any) insert a [mysqld] section and set innodb_data_home_dir = /path/to/where/you/moved/your/data
[mysqld]
innodb_data_home_dir = /path/to/where/you/moved/your/data

A: When started via homebrew services:

*

*Stop the server: brew services stop mysql@5.6

*Modify the plist file for your installed version, for example: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql@5.6/5.6.43/homebrew.mxcl.mysql@5.6.plist

*Look for the --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql key and set the value to the place you want to store your databases.

*Copy over files from /usr/local/var/mysql to your new location.

*Restart the server: brew services start mysql@5.6

I saw an episode on tv last night I can't believe that I missed this drama. Oh well, I am doing a marathon to catch up. I love these kind of drama.
Now watching: Need to find some new dramas
Post by Orion1986 » Jul 12th, '11, 23:23
It can get very cliche in some aspects, but it does have a not-the-usual-rich-cold-bastard guy for the love interest. Frankly, Daniel Choi and his "dad" are what kept me going.
It does have sooome level of freshness to it and most of all, it's honest for what it is. Light fun. I personally appreciate this for that honesty in what it promises and delivers.

Hmm dunno, I watched the first 2 eps but I found it too slapsticky and couldn't warm up with any of the characters...Does the drama stay like that or does it tone down a little?
Post by Silverman » Jul 13th, '11, 16:51
Well it's not the best kdrama of 2011, but imho its worth to watch it. Who likes light romcoms, will also like this drama.
After a few episodes theres very little slapstick left, so you have just to endure it.
The story itself is a little bit inconsistent. After half of the episodes the real age of the female lead is revealed and its just a issue, which is just casually mentioned in the rest of the drama. After this, the drama takes al different path. It becomes one of these competition-storys, where the maincharacter has to become the best designer and there is one competition after another.
So while in the first half of the drama its a romcom with a competition-element, the second half has its mainfocus on the competition-part.
I was thinking the same way. Episode 2 was cheesy but it is was funny in some parts.
It's nice to see Daniel Choi again. The last time I saw him was is Worlds Within with curly hair. He is so funny and cute.
About the drama so far...I still can't figure out what is wrong
with the mom and why she can't work.

Have you ever seen the moms of the mainlead working? They never work, except if the family owns a small restaurant. Ok in some rare cases they do, but in 9 from 10 dramas, they don't work.
Although the series does take a turn midway for the competition (and also cause they got an extension so they could add more story to it), they also up the cute some.
It does have many cliches, but it's also fresh with many things. The lead woman is not annoying and bratty, and we actually have TWO good guys and no jerks. And a kick ass kid, which I loved.
It does have its melo parts, of course, but they somehow felt ok. I didn't feel like "HERE! *in you face* Cry! It's drama!" like it did with TGL. That one just pissed me off and bored me. This one, no.

Worlds Within - Hyun Bin's mom worked on the farm.
Smile Donghae - I forgot her name but Donghae's girlfriend (not the ex) her mom worked at kimchi business and Donghae's mom was house help.
Shining Inheritance - Stepmom had a furniture store or something along those lines.
My Princess - Mom had a lodge-resort-bed n breakfast type of establishment.
I should have said, that the most moms don't work except they have some familybusiness. Ok in the most dramas they have either a business or are dead, but they rarely have a "normal" job.

I am currently watching this drama. I haven't watched anything with Daniel Choi before - but he's grown on me. I'm now up to episode 10.
I'll be frank - I had to trudge through the first 3-4 episodes. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that she was carrying on under her sisters name. I mean... In real life i doubt it would've worked.
I will agree with Orion on this Drama - the two main leads (men), are kick ass and super awesome. I love them both. So much in fact, i'm not totally sure which one i want to get her (though i'm sure i know who she's going to end up with). The only other drama I was like that on was Sungkyunkwan Scandal.
I do hope it picks up the pace a bit past episode 10, but I can honestly say i'm really starting to get into it!

I thought it was terrific, I wasn't too sure at first as I feared Choi Daniel's overacting would become a bit irritating, but once he settled down after a few episodes, he became quite likeable. Jang Nara was ridiculously cute and sweet, I found it impossible to stop watching her and Kim Min Seo was a great baddie. 10/10.

Yep JJang Na Ra is the cutest korean actress i know (i'm talking about cute, not sexy/beautiful etc.). Especially if she is mad. If she were my friend/gf, then i would deliberately make her mad every day, just to see her mad face^^. Its as cute as a mad Chihuahua.
Post by Orion1986 » Dec 4th, '11, 21:57
Ahaha. Make her made to see her cute. You sound like one of them kdrama sadistic leads.
Jang Nara has the same "mouse" look what's-her-name from BOF has, without being annoying like her.
Na i'm not such a jerk^^. If i had to compare me to a dramacharacter, then i would be little bit like the male lead from "Man who can't get married". Not so extreme as him, but similar. I had a few conversations like:
Female1: "You weren't in a relationship for a long time?"
Female2: "Yes, i'm just waiting for the right and warm man."
Female1: "So it's just like a car, which is parked in a garage til the right time to start."
Female2: "Yes. Hehehehe"
Male: "Are you sure, that if the car stays too long in the garage, the motor doesn't get rusty?"
Female: " Oh you like spaghetti?"
Male "Spaghetti? To be precise spaghetti is about 1,8 mm thick, the thin ones like this are called spaghettini"
Female tries slowly to escape.
Yes, i'm sometimes like this guy...but in most cases i can control myself^^.
The brutally honest type. Too honest for your own good sometimes. And the good of others.
Orion1986 wrote: we actually have TWO good guys and no jerks. And a kick ass kid, which I loved.
Can't agree with that. A guy who proposes to another guys girlfriend is not a good guy in my book, I would consider him a jerk (in fact I'd consider him a complete cunt to be honest). Agree about the kid though.
,Yes, he is no angel, but far from the evil guy-type away. He didn't exactly pursue her as soon as he knew, that she has a bf. To confess, if someone has already a partner is not a big foul. To actively and persistent hit on somebody, although he/she has a partner is another thing.
True. Confessing to someone who is seeing another person is not bad. You have to do it so you won't have any regrets. Trying to get them when you know they have someone and aren't interested, that is bad.
There is a fine line between being too good and simply giving up too easily and being a coward. I think that getting it out of your system is good. It also shows respect to the person you like to let them know it.
The usual lead or sometimes second lead of kdramas is someone who purposely treats the woman badly and emotionally and/or physically abuses her because he's "passionate" or "in love" or "in pain". No such thing in this series.
Yes but there is big a difference between letting someone you like know about it and what he did. If he'd have just told her he liked and would be there if things didn't work out, then that would have been fine. But he abused his position as her boss to get her to the restaurant, he used her love for his daughter as a weapon and proposed to her knowing she already had a boyfriend. Then when he was politely rejected (when she should have told him to go pick his teeth with a pneumatic drill), instead of being gracious, he said he'd ask once more in some kind of pathetic ultimatum. As far as I'm concerned, these aren't the actions of a good guy. Maybe I was being a bit extreme in calling him a complete cunt as he could have been worse but he's a cunt all the same.
I don't see it that way. He did not use his love for his daughter as a weapon. He was frank with her that he wants a good woman as her mom.
He could have been a jerk and told her he loves her and that she's amazing. But the man was honest about what kind of a marriage he wanted.
Trying your best to fulfill something important to you is not mean when you give the other person choices and don't pressure them in some disrespectful way.
Laying out all your truths and honest thoughts on the table for them rather than being quiet about it all is only admirable when the chances are so bleak for you.
The woman had a choice. No one was forcing her and she knew well enough he is a man who can take a no and not hold grudges.
Just because she looked cute and uncomfortable is not enough reason to call the guy mean. Her reactions don't define his methods.
As for the ultimatum, the couple weren't exactly being passionate. He doesn't know ones private life. Maybe it was casual. One last try was what the man would feel like he tried his best if he did it.
When you get to that age and have a child, being all bashful and romantic and hoping for wuv or for her to come running into your arms is not something most men think about or try to achieve.
He appreciated the woman as a person, appreciated the love she showed for a child that wasn't even her own and thought that a woman like that would be someone he could trust and love.
Saying it to her clearly and telling her he'll do all he can do to make sure he tried his best is simple honesty to an adult woman who can choose how she rejects him. That's how I see it at least.
As for "getting her to the restaurant", the man wanted to do things in a way he was comfortable so that he could express himself better, since he knew he'd get a rejection anyway, as it seems.
He didn't blackmail her or actively harm the woman in any way. She's a friggin' adult. She won't break into a thousand pieces if someone pulls a little prank on her or make an honest confession.
He is someone very serious and laconic. For a man like that, at that age, to make any kind of romantic effort or open up is a pretty damn big thing. He didn't do it perfectly, but the man's heart was in a good place.
Personally, as a woman who is veeery unforgiving of any "cuntness" on guys, I would be very happy for a man to confess or propose like that. I'd feel like crap for rejecting them, but I'd respect them forever for it.
The guy isn't that old, at least not in the western understanding. How old is he, 35? Ok in korean understanding its almost the same age as Methuselah, but still^^. i would describe him as "mature". And a mature man can still be romantic^^.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one Orion.
Out of curiosity, as I am looking at it from the man's point of view and you are looking at this from the woman's point of view (which is understandable), how would you feel if the role's were reversed and it was a female boss trying to steal another woman's man using similar underhand tactics (except say for example using sex instead of marriage), would you consider her to be a cunt?
Its just a myth, that women and men have a different level of jealousy.
I have watched the first episode of BFB again and there is something interesting. Has somebody noticed how the people dance? They should be 20 something people, but they have the energy of 50 something -people.
Extras, Silverman. They can't fake it so well and the music they add in such scenes comes later in order to record the voices.
So, when people dance in a series or a movie, they're dancing to music that isn't there. Some of them don't do it well enough.
Plus, you're supposed to focus on the lead characters. If everyone is dancing like mad, the shot gets too busy, I suppose.
And BZ, if a woman had told a guy she likes him and proposed the same way, I'd love her. But exactly in the same manner. I have a kid, I like you, you're good to her, I know you have someone, but I have to tell you this.
I would like her as a character in a drama and I'd like her as a person in real life. Because she would be using her honesty and still keeping her appropriate distance from actually hitting on the guy. So yes, I'd approve.
But you are giving me another situation here. You mention a woman trying to steal a man by underhanded tactics and only for sex. That has nothing to do with the situation in the series. Yes, such a woman would be a cunt.
And a guy who used dirty tricks (actual ones, not honesty) to get into a woman's pants even though he knew she did not want to, but forced her anyway, he'd be a major cunt too. Of course he would be. That's kind of a given.
What I am saying is that I don't find this man's tactics underhanded. I see an honest man who tried to make a romantic and slightly cheeky and cool proposal. He just told a woman who is involved he likes her and wants her.
He didn't try to ruin the other guy or actively make her angry at him or lie to her and he did not try to trick her into anything. For me to classify it as "trying to steal", there has to be something other than expressing true feelings.
He didn't force anything on her, neither did he imply any problems with her job if she did not accept. They had become friends by that point so his moves would not be misunderstood by her anyway. He liked her, he said it.
To me, that is a stand up person, be it a woman or a man, rich or poor, boss or employee. A lot of people drown their feelings or hurt others through actions because they are too scared to express those feelings. That's what I dislike.
There are people who let the ones they like slip away, sometimes even drive them away or to someone they don't really like, all because of their cowardice. They try to hide from the person they like and end up being dishonest to them.
A person who has the guts to tell someone they like them and speak in all honesty is the best person there is, in my opinion. They are true to their feelings, true to the person they care for and owe their confession to. I admire that a lot.
I guess it's a matter of principles and how one views things. We can't all like every type or person. Your principles and morals make him a cunt, mine make him a very decent person.
I personally prefer someone who is honest in such issues, even if it might cause awkward moments of rejection (and it's mighty brave of them to face those moments) to someone who keeps all that locked up and will always live with the "what if" and regret.
As you say, we obviously have different levels of morallity. To me he totally crossed the line into cuntdom by proposing which I, personally, see as completely different to just being honest and telling her his feelings, which as I said earlier would have been fine. Anyway, we could go back and forth forever. One thing I think we can agree on though is that it is a great series.
True. It suffers from many cliches, but it does some very fresh things as well.

I am finally finishing up this drama.. I made it to episode 12 and will finish it this weekend. I think the ending will be weird because I can't see her ending up with either of the two guys. I wish there was more rivalry but its still good drama to watch! My fav part so far is in, I think episode 4 when Lee So Yeung
spills her coins on the President's floor! lol lol I laughed so hard on that one because he had to pick them up!
Oh and the little girl (President's daughter) is so cute too!
Return to "KDrama Discussions"


By Paul Burkhardt (Bloomberg) — South Africa's first deep-water discovery, reported Thursday by French oil major Total SA, may prompt a rush of activity offshore by competitors as the country works to cut its reliance on imported fuels.
The field of primarily gas-condensate — a light liquid hydrocarbon — was discovered about 175 kilometers (109 miles) off the country's southern coast in the Outeniqua Basin. The area, where Exxon Mobil Corp. and Eni SpA also hold stakes, may now draw further interest, especially since South Africa is due to introduce new legislation later this year aimed at spurring exploration.


My youngest child has these deep blue eyes. If you tell him something that attracts his attention, he'll stop and look at you with those piercing blue eyes for a moment, as though he's trying to make up his mind whether or not you're telling him something of real value.
Every day, his eyes are on me. Along with his two older siblings and his mother, I'm one of the people that he's constantly using as a role model for figuring out the world.
If he sees me enjoying tomatoes, he's willing to give them a try.
If he sees me brushing my teeth, he'll head to the other bathroom to retrieve his own toothbrush.
If he sees me shaving, he's ready to slap some shaving cream on his cheeks.
His idea of good behavior is coming, in large part, from me.
It can be easy for me to try to behave well when my little blue-eyed boy is around. I can try to act like a good role model when he's around. I can think more deliberately about my action when he's watching me.
Children are too smart for that, though. They see the character behind the curtain. I certainly remember realizing that there were people who would do one thing when eyes were on them and then do another when no one else was around, and I was smart enough to know that the things they did when no one was around was the true reflection of who they were.
It's not enough to behave well when my child is watching. I must have the character from which good behavior comes naturally.
For example, the best way to show my child that you can have a lot of fun at home with whatever you have on hand is to have a lot of fun at home with whatever you have on hand.
If I want my child to see that adults read books and discuss ideas, the best way to do that is to normally read books and discuss ideas as part of my life.
If it's an act, it doesn't work.
Few things are harder than working on who you are and striving to improve it. People are creatures of habit and impulse. It is extremely difficult to change those fundamental things.
In some ways, I'm lucky. When I want to push myself to change things about who I am, I simply have to think about those big blue eyes that are watching me all the time. That's a pretty strong motivator.
Couple that motivation with a strong sense of what better choices are and soon I'll end up changing who I am. Those better choices come naturally if they're repeated enough.
The things we want to change seem very hard at times. Through the eyes of a child, though, they're not difficult at all. If you work on just changing who you are a little bit, you no longer have to face the difficult decision to not spend money or to not smoke or to not curse over and over again throughout the day.
In the eyes of a child, character trumps everything else. Work on your character and your habits follow.

Parish Youth Project
Footpaths (Public Rights of Way)
The Parish Council in conjuction with Cornwall Council are responsible for the cutting/clearing/maintenance of Public Rights of Way (P.R.O.W.s) within St. Agnes Parish.
P.R.O.W's are placed into 3 catagories depending on usage:- Gold, Sliver and Bronze
Wildlife and Countryside Act – Section 53
Definitive Map Modification Orders
What is a Modification Order?
[i] It is possible to apply for a Modification Order to change the Definitive Map and Statement of Public rights of Way. Such an application has to be made on the basis of evidence that the map should be amended. Public rights may exist over a route that is not shown on the Definitive Map or higher rights may exist over a route that is already shown. On the other hand, rights may be shown which have been recorded in error.
[ii] Modification Orders are not about whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that the path should be added or deleted, but about whether particular rights exist. The suitability of a claimed path for people likely to use it is irrelevant. If someone wishes to divert a path, there are separate procedures for this. (For example, if a landowner wishes to re-route a path for a valid reason then they would have to apply for a Diversion Order under the provisions of the Highways Act 1980 or the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.)
[iii] There is no charge for making a Modification Order application as, if it is successful, it becomes in effect a correction to the Definitive Map. However, an applicant would be expected to submit proper evidence with the application.
Who may apply?
Anyone may apply for a Modification Order. This includes both individuals and groups of people such as the Ramblers' Association or a Parish Council.
When can an application be made?
An application may be made for the addition of a right of way to the Definitive Map or for the realignment or deletion of ways already shown. An applicant may also apply for a right of way to be shown differently (for example if the applicant considers that a footpath should be shown as a bridleway) or application may be made for any other particulars contained in the Map and Statement to be amended. However it is very important to realise that where the application seeks to secure a change in the location or even the deletion of an existing right of way that this claimed revision must be supported by cogent evidence. The mere assertion that the Definitive Map is incorrect is not enough.
It is important to submit as much evidence as possible in support of the application as the decision whether or not to make an Order will be based on the evidence provided and any other available evidence. There are two kinds of evidence which may be submitted: user evidence and documentary evidence.
[i] User Evidence – if a path is not shown on the Definitive Map but the public have been using it as of right for a continuous period of twenty years or more, it may have become a public right of way, unless there is sufficient evidence that there was no intention during that period to dedicate it to the public. (This is contained in Highways Act 1980 Section 31) "The public" is taken to be just that, rather than any "special" group of people such as employees of the landowner. The term "as of right" means that the public used the path as if it were a highway; that is to say openly without secrecy or the use of force and not needing to seek or be granted the permission of the landowner. The period of twenty years is counted back from the date when the public's right was first brought into question. However, it is also possible for a dedication of a right of way to occur under the Common Law where the period of use is less than the twenty years stipulated in the Highways Act. The Living Environment Programmes Team supply Path User Forms for completion by members of the public as part of the application pack. These forms should be accompanied by a map marked by each path user to show the position of the path they are referring to in the form. These Forms and Maps should be submitted with the application.
[ii] Documentary Evidence – documentary evidence may consist of, for example: old maps, parish Records, Inclosure Awards, or Tithe Maps. Such documents may be found in the Cornwall Records Office and whilst Cornwall Council will carry out a search of primary sources as part of its investigation of an application, it may well be worth an applicant researching available records for the area in question.
[i] The Applicant should apply to: Cornwall Council, Environment & Heritage, Programmes Team, St Clement Building, Old County Hall, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 3AY Tel: 0300 1234 202 in the first instance for the relevant application forms. They are:
FORM 1 [Application for Modification Order] is to be completed and returned to the Living Environment Section. The Application must be accompanied by a map to a scale of not less than two and one half inches to one mile – larger if possible – which should clearly show the path or way in question.
FORM 2 [Notice of Application for Modification Order] is to be completed and then sent to every owner or occupier (including those with a private right over the way in question) of any land to which the application relates. A map clearly showing the effect of the application should accompany the Notice.
FORM 3 [Certificate of Service of Notice of Application] must be completed by listing the names and addresses of those owners and occupiers who have been served notice of the application. It should be returned to the Living Environment Programmes Team together with FORM 1.
[ii] If, after reasonable inquiry has been made, the applicant is unable to trace any owner/occupier affected by the application, they may apply to the Living Environment team [by completing and returning FORM 4] to dispense with a personal notice and serve notice instead by addressing it to the owner or occupier and affixing it to some conspicuous object on the land. The Certificate that notice has been served is essential: without it the Cornwall Council is under no obligation to consider the application.
[i] Once confirmed as legally valid any application made will be held on file until such time as it can be dealt with in accordance with the Council's published policy statement. However, in the meantime, Cornwall Council will consult the appropriate Parish and District Councils, the local County Councillor and relevant users groups. In order to investigate the application fully and come to a decision based on all the available evidence, a full copy of the user evidence together with copies of any responses received from the above consultations will be sent to the landowners/occupiers affected and an opportunity will be given for them to submit their evidence. Any responses received, together with the consultation responses will then be sent to the applicant for their comments.
[ii] The application will normally be determined by Cornwall Council's Solicitor in consultation with the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Modification Orders Panel. If the decision is that an Order should be made, the Order will be published at a later date. Copies of the Order will be served on the applicant, landowners/occupiers and other interested parties. Notices will also be posted on site and in the local newspaper. A period will be allowed for objections or representations to be made. If objections are received, then the matter has to be passed to the Secretary of State for the Environment who normally determines the matter by holding a Local Public Inquiry.
[iii] If the decision is taken not to make an Order, the applicant has a right to appeal to the Secretary of State who will consider all the evidence and direct Cornwall Council whether or not to make an Order accordingly.

Dogs on Public Rights of Way and Dog Fouling Information
What is the law relating to dog fouling?
Dog fouling of a Right of Way may be an offence under a bylaw and the person responsible for the dog may be liable for a fine if they do not clear up after it . Dog fouling is an offence and a fixed penalty notice fee may be issued for not clearing up after your dog or even a prosecution resulting in a fine.
What can be done about a dog fouling offence?
If you wish to take action against a dog owner who has not cleaned up after their dog, you should note what happened as soon as possible. Include the name and address of the person in charge of the dog, a description of the dog, plus details of the date, time and place of the offence.
Contact Environmental Health and Licensing (0300 1234 212 or email envhealthandlicensing@cornwall.gov.uk) and ask for their control procedures. Clearly describe the place being fouled to find what regulations cover that area.
Can I take a dog on a Public Right of Way?
Yes, a dog is considered a 'usual accompaniment' of a person on foot. Nonetheless this entitlement is confined to the line of the path and only exists whilst the dog is accompanied by its owner/ keeper. A trespass would be committed against the landowner if the dog is allowed to run off the definitive line of the path or if the owner/keeper stands at a gate and allows their dog to run free.
Must a dog be kept on a lead whilst on a Right of Way?
The law does not rule that a dog be kept on a lead whilst accompanied on a Public Right of Way. However, it does state that they must be kept under close control (see dogs and livestock below).
Dogs and Livestock
The 'Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act of 1953' makes it an offence to allow a dog to chase or attack livestock, or to be 'at large' in a field or enclosure in which there are sheep. 'At large' is defined as not on a lead, or otherwise under close control. Remember - A farmer may shoot a dog which is attacking or chasing livestock. This gives added weight to the Country Code which states that you must 'Keep your dogs under close control'.
I can't use a path because of an aggressive dog, who should I contact?
Any dog which stands on a Public Right of Way and, by its 'threatening behaviour', prevents users from using the path constitutes a public nuisance and is, therefore, considered to be an obstruction. 'Threatening behaviour' may include snarling or running around the user barking in a threatening manner. Landowners and occupiers must ensure that such dogs are kept under proper control when in the vicinity of a public right of way.
What should dog owners do?
Responsible owners do not allow their dogs to foul public places. Ideally, dogs should be trained from an early age to 'go at home' in their own garden before or after a walk, rather than during. If dog fouling does occur away from home the responsible owner will clean up after the dog. A plastic bag can be used, or a special poop-scoop bags purchased from pet shops, veterinary surgeries or stores. Dispose of faeces in the poop-scoop bin or take the bag home. If this is not possible, as a last resort double-wrap the faeces in two plastic bags and dispose in a litter bin.

Tiffany Cabán aims to scramble Queens DA Race: From Gay City News
Queens district attorney candidate Tiffany Cabán stopped at one point during a recent interview with Gay City News to make it clear she prefers to speak about the LGBTQ community in the first person because, in her words, "It's my community."
Cabán's identity as a queer Latina woman has helped shape her career as a public defender and her understanding of other marginalized groups facing tough hurdles in the criminal justice system, and she is now vying to channel her insight toward a broader effort to shake up the political and legal establishment in the borough.

McGuire wins special Assembly election

Are You Ready for the 2022 Highway Code Changes?
Jack Dreyer | Tuesday 25th January 2022 11:01am
Since 1931, the Highway Code has been instructing motorists of the best practices for driving on Britain�s roads. Since then, plenty of things have changed, and on the 29th of January 2022, things are going to be changing again.
The hierarchies on the road will come to prioritise a different set of users, and all motorists will need to adhere to these changes. According to the Department for Transport, the new system will foster a �more mutually respectful and considerate culture of safe and effective road use�.
Read on to find out more about the upcoming changes, and how best you can prepare.
The new regulations at a glance
At a glance, the new regulations take into account the conflicting interests of the different types of road users and aim to integrate them more harmoniously.
There has always been a conflict of interest on Britain�s roads � from cyclists to taxis � but now the Highway Code seems to be fostering a more unified approach to travel.
As of January, large passenger vehicle drivers will have a greater responsibility in reducing the threat posed to other road users, while drivers will have to give more leeway when dealing with pedestrians at zebra crossings.
These new changes also seem to show a greater consideration paid towards the safety of road users at all levels. For example, cyclists must give way to pedestrians on shared paths, the cyclists themselves are protected from drivers cutting across them when turning in or out of a junction.
What�s more, implementations such as the New �Dutch Reach� technique also informs road users on how best to open their door (while looking over their shoulder) to reduce the risk of harm done to themselves and others.
The three main highway code changes
The changes coming into force in January are manifold and there are simply too many to list and explain here all at once. However, the GOV.UK website has all of the information you need. And, in the meantime, we have identified three of the most significant changes that we think you should know about.
1. Hierarchy of road users
The changes that are due to happen will, as we have said, greatly impact the hierarchy of road users on the most fundamental level. Those who have the potential to cause the greatest harm now have the greatest responsibility to keep others safe.
The hierarchy of road users is as follows:
Horse rider
Cars & taxis
Van & minibuses
Large passenger vehicles & heavy goods vehicles
But the new code specifies that, even though pedestrians are at the top of the list, they too have a responsibility to keep road users safe.
2. The three main highway code changes
Drivers, cyclists, and horse riders have been the target of a series of new regulations which specify that pedestrians have the right of way to cross at junctions.
As of January, if you are a road user looking to pull out of or turn into a junction, you must always let the pedestrian pass first.
The same applies to zebra crossings and parallel crossings. As well as this, there has been a refreshed emphasis on pedestrian-only pavements. Apart from wheelchairs and mobility scooters, no vehicles are allowed on pavements.
However, cyclists have also been considered in the new code.
3. Cyclists get priority too!
In certain situations, the new code specifies that cyclists get priority too. Motorcyclists and drivers have been urged not to cut across cyclists when they are turning in or out of a junction to reduce the number of collisions. This rule applies regardless of whether the cyclist is moving in a cycle lane, a cycle track, or even the road itself.
Instead, it is recommended that motorists stop and wait for a decent-sized safe gap (advised 1.5m) while cyclists are moving away from a junction, passing, waiting next to stationary traffic, or travelling on the roundabout.
Who will be affected by the new changes?
The most significant changes will affect both the smallest and the largest of Britain�s vehicles simultaneously. That is, the new rules will primarily impact cyclists and HGV drivers since they respectively pose the greatest risk and are at risk themselves.
In a nutshell, pedestrians and cyclists will benefit greatly from these changes as they are being elevated further up the list of priorities on Britain�s roads.
Is the new highway code legally enforced?
Although the new highway code is recommended by the government, unfortunately not all of the advice it prescribes is legally enforceable.
That�s exactly what it is, after all, just advice aimed at keeping the public safe. Some of the rules, however, are given legal standing and it is actually a criminal offence to not abide by them.
You can easily tell which of the highway code�s rules are legally binding because they begin with or include �you must� or �you must not�.
As an example, �Helmets MUST comply with the Regulations and they MUST be fastened securely.�
Failure to comply with the highway code rules can land you with a hefty fine.
Will there be any other changes?
Aside from the three main rules we�ve identified above, there are also a whole host of other, more nuanced changes. A prime example is the �Dutch Reach� method we described earlier being added as guidance to the �Waiting and Parking� chapter.
Or, prescriptive advice for electric vehicle owners to prevent their charging cables from becoming trip hazards.

Harvest One Completes Acquisition of Israeli-based Phytotech Therapeutics
Harvest One Cannabis Inc. is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of 100% of Israeli-based Phytotech Therapeutics Ltd. from Australian-based MMJ Group Holdings Ltd. In consideration for the acquisition of PTL, Harvest One paid C$1,000,000 in cash and 8,326,694 Harvest One common shares.
Founded in 2014, Phytotech has developed advanced oral delivery formulations for cannabinoid-based prescription drugs and holds an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Yissum Research Development Company, the commercial arm of the University of Jerusalem, for a proprietary lipid nanotechnology. With the acquisition, Harvest One's wholly-owned subsidiary Satipharm will gain access to advanced patents in favourable jurisdictions that can be used for further R&D and product development to aggressively pursue the rapidly evolving cannabis oils market.
PTL was also responsible for administrating the successful clinical trials using Satipharm's proprietary capsules. The Phase 1 clinical trials demonstrated the safety and high performance of the oral capsule technology, including the effective delivery profile of cannabidiol ("CBD"), while Phase 2 clinical trials were completed in 2017, returning favourable results in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy.
"Harvest One's acquisition of PTL gives all of the Company's businesses access to valuable IP and capabilities that can be used to augment our health and wellness strategy as well as our medical offerings," said Grant Froese, CEO of Harvest One. "This acquisition further demonstrates the global nature of Harvest One, now with a presence in Canada, the United States, the European Union and Israel".
Due to the fact that MMJ is an insider and a related party of Harvest One, this transaction was considered a "related party transaction" as set out in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Harvest One relied on the exemption from the valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a), and from minority approval requirements pursuant to section 5.7(a), due to the fact that the fair market value of the subject-matter of, and the consideration for, the transaction, did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Harvest One.

Q: Add or Remove class on click - Javascript I am trying to add a class when you click on a box then remove the class when you click the button. But no class os added or removed.
var leftBox = document.getElementsByClassName("left");
var rightBox = document.getElementsByClassName("right");

function expandLeft() {
  leftBox.className = leftBox.className + "zero-width";
  rightBox.className = rightBox.className + "full-width";
}
function expandRight() {
  leftBox.className = leftBox.className + "full-width";
  rightBox.className = rightBox.className + "zero-width";
}

function originalLeft(){
  leftBox.removeClass(leftBox, "zero-width");
  rightBox.removeClass(rightBox, "full-width");
}

function originalRight(){
  leftBox.removeClass(rightBox, "full-width");
  rightBox.removeClass(leftBox, "zero-width");
}

<button id="shrink" onclick="originalLeft()">click here</button> .

<button id="shrink" onclick="originalLeft()">click here</button>

The effect should be that when you click one box it expands left and you can click a button and it returns. Vice versa for the other side.

A: You can use .toggleClass() in jQuery.
maybe this link helps:
https://api.jquery.com/toggleclass/

A: try this:

document.getElementById("test").addEventListener("click", enlarge);
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", resume);

function enlarge() {
  document.getElementById("test").classList.add("enlarge");
}

function resume() {
  document.getElementById("test").classList.remove("enlarge");
}
#test {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: green;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.enlarge {
  transform: scaleX(2);
}

Pipo Saru 2001
Piposaru 2001
You want to steal monkey pants. You know you want to steal monkey pants. This is the game for you.
By IGN Staff
Posted: 18 Jun 2001 11:30 pm
Japan has invented many names for genres in recent years, but relatively few truly new genres have arrived in the same time. Survival Horror is a new name for an old thing: running around shooting zombies. Ditto Panic Horror and Panic Action; Klonoa 2's 3D Dramatic Action is a new name for one of the oldest genres in games; desipte the bold declaration of 3D Ryde Movie Shooting, Silpheed: The Lost Planet addresses you to the same task as Space Invaders. How many games have we seen over the course of these past 20 years where you actually do something completely new, I wonder?
Well, at least one, now. In Piposaru 2001, you steal monkey pants. This is something new.
Piposaru is the sequel in spirit to Sarugetchu, known in the states as Ape Escape, which was hailed by most as a superior grab-bag of gameplay concepts, built around the creative use of the Dual Shock analog controls. It was also hailed as a superior exploitation of the inherent coolness of monkeys -- your task was not to collect coins or rings or stars, but a horde of escaped simians in bright yellow shorts with little multicolored sirens grafted onto their heads.
Piposaru 2001 remains somewhat mysterious as far as its specific gameplay mechanics, but we do know how it expands on the theme of its predecessor. The spiky-haired hero who rounded up the monkeys in the first game is now tasked with collecting the monkeys' shorts for laundering, using his trusty vacuum cleaner and an arsenal of other gadgets. 2001 monkeys of various types lurk in the game's many levels, and their pants won't be easy to snag...
The basic device for monkey-pants extraction is the hero's vacuum device, called the "Nugetcha" (or some similar transliteration). KO a monkey or sneak up behind it stealthily and you can quickly suck its pants free, attaching them to a string that trails behind you. When you feel like taking a break, healing yourself, or just cashing in your current store of pants, you can adjourn to the hot spring that serves as your base and waypoint.
The monkeys are usually smart enough to make things relatively complicated, necessitating the application of devices aside from the basic vacuum. These are known as Mecha Disks (or MDs for short), expendable items that have specific effects. For example, the Exploding MD stuns monkeys with a concussive blast, while the Love-Love MD sprouts a giant banana, which attracts and distracts all the monkeys in a stage for easy pants removal.
As in the first game, there are several different types of monkeys, each with his own accessories and temperament. Revealed so far, in addition to the generic yellow-shorts-wearing monkeys, are the following:
Scuba Monkey
The Scuba Monkeys are equipped with diving masks, snorkels, and flippers, allowing them to quickly navigate through the water (odds are you'll have to find similar gear to catch up with them). The flippers leave them at a serious disadvantage when it comes to moving over the land, though.
Cactus Monkey
The Cactus Monkeys are found in desert environments, where they have an ambition to blend into the background with their cactus costumes. They're difficult to spot, but once you penetrate their disguise, they're easy to catch.
Coffin Monkey
Oddest of the lot are the Coffin Monkeys. As you can see, they wear night-vision goggles and tote giant coffins on their back. They can see in the dark, and the minute they sense trouble, they instantly hide inside their coffins, making it impossible to swipe their pants.
Piposaru 2001 arrives in Japan on July 5, at which point we'll be able to see if this is a true successor to Ape Escape, or just the brief side-trip into silliness that a few rumors have indicated it might be. We can't help but have high hopes for it, though -- you STEAL MONKEY PANTS. This game MUST be good. If this is a sign of irrational bias on our part, we apologize. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves.

In 2015 Ruth Arnison's son sent her a photo of a little library in a Melbourne suburban street she liked the idea so much she decided to create something similar in Dunedin.
Ruth says, 'Once funding was secured we set out to build, paint and distribute 10 of these libraries (we named them Lilliput Libraries) to keen Guardians. The idea, 'take a book and leave a book', has been embraced by Dunedin residents to the extent that soon I had a waiting list of people wanting to be Guardians of a Lilliput Library'.
Ruth found funding for the first 100 but now asks people to supply their own, directing them to their local Blokes Shed for construction assistance. Guardians are given a plan, a Q&A sheet, and a template of the leaflet which goes in each library explaining how they work. All Lilliputs are added to a map, which directs readers to 197 Lilliput Libraries scattered around New Zealand.
Similar schemes such as Little Free Libraries and Book Crossings have been running for more than 20 years. Independent free community libraries are still popping up all around New Zealand, like this anarchic one in Paekakariki on the Kapiti Coast.
The 'Old Whatsisname Memorial Library' replaces a small cupboard that carried out this function for several years. The new facility boasts seating and solar-powered lighting for evening reading.
Long may these tiny knowledge banks bring communities together!


I got tired fairly quickly and Lisa's sleep schedule is very dislocated these days, so around 1 PM we went home via Reno, stopping for lunch at the Manhattan Deli. (Lisa's slot machine winnings counteracted my keno losses with $3 extra to boot.) Then we made our major grocery run to Winco before rushing home before Lisa collapsed from fatigue. She's been slowly working her way around the clock the past few weeks, so today she was up at about 3 AM. She does hope to last tomorrow until sundown and moonrise so we can watch the eclipse.
