According to a personal finance website, Idaho is the 12th best state in the nation to be a teacher.
Let’s take a closer look at the Wallethub.com survey, and the results.
First off, what is Wallethub.com? Based in Washington, D.C., Wallethub.com touts itself as “the Web’s best personal finance resource.” Wallethub calls itself “a one-stop destination for all the tools and information consumers and small business owners need to make better financial decisions and save money.”
What about the No. 12 ranking? It’s a mixed bag, because the site ranks the states on two broad categories.
What’s the good news? The site ranks Idaho No. 3 for what it calls “opportunity and competition.” That includes criteria such as average starting and annual salaries, adjusted for cost of living; 10-year trends in teacher pay; and projected number of teachers per capita in 2022. Wallethub emphasized “opportunity and competition” in its rankings. “Because competitive salaries and job security are integral to a well-balanced personal and professional life, we assigned a heavier weight to the ‘opportunity and competition’ category.”
What’s the bad news? Idaho ranked No. 38 for its “academic and work environment.” That includes categories such as student-to-teacher ratio, school rankings and per-capita school spending. For example, Wallethub ranks Idaho No. 51 in per-capita spending. Idaho tends to rank near the bottom in this category, ranking No. 50 in a recent Census Bureau report.
Who’s No. 1? That’s neighboring and oil- and natural gas-rich Wyoming, buoyed by high salaries and high per-capita spending.
Who’s No. 51? North Carolina.
What are the reactions? Gov. Butch Otter’s campaign seized on the report Tuesday. “I appreciate the results of this survey because I want our teachers to know we value them. That being said, I want Idaho to be an even better state for teachers.” Otter touted his education task force’s recommendations to boost teacher pay — a plan tied to a controversial licensing plan opposed by the Idaho Education Association.
Reactions on the governor’s Facebook page were less flattering. Said one tongue-in-cheek commenter: “It’s on the internet, it must be true.”
What are other people saying? Washington Post education writer Valerie Strauss took a skeptical view of the findings. She said the study failed to consider several other metrics, such as job protections for teachers and the “overall impact of corporate-based school reform.”

Dartmoor is a small village, located on the Glenelg River, on the Princes Highway. The town itself is small, and now predominately residential. Greenham Street and Wapling Avenue have long been the main thoroughfare of the township, and this route follows the original route from Portland to Penola, and eventually Adelaide, over the Glenelg River. Most of the buildings in the centre of the town are commercial and civic, although most of the commercial buildings no longer operate. The main street is dominated by large carved figures, which have been carved from the remaining stumps of the Cedrus atlantica (Atlantic Cedar) Avenue of Honour, planted to commemorate those who served and fell in World War One. The town started in the mid 1840s, when the Woodford Inn was established on the banks of the Glenelg River, near the river crossing. The town has been primarily a service centre for the surrounding pastoral properties, and later a timber town. The heritage places are mainly clustered in Greenham Street and Wapling avenue, although much has been lost to the east of the village centre. The precinct is in good condition and retains a high degree of integrity.
How is it significant?
The Dartmoor Village Precinct is of historical, social and architectural significance to the Glenelg Shire.
Why is it significant?
The Dartmoor Village Precinct is of historic significance as a township dating from the mid 1840s, as one of the chain of small settlements between Portland and Penola and as the focus for the pastoral properties surrounding the township from the 1840s onward. It is of social significance as the focus for the community's education and recreation, roles that continue to the present. The architectural significance of the town lies in range of buildings constructed from local materials over a long period of time, ranging from the larger religious buildings through to the humble timber cottages which remain.
DARTMOOR VILLAGE PRECINCT - Physical Description 1
Dartmoor is a small village, located on the Glenelg River, originally on the route between Portland and Adelaide over the Glenelg River. The Princes Highway now bypasses the township, and perhaps as a consequence, the village atmosphere has been retained. Greenham Street and Wapling Avenue are the main thoroughfare for Dartmoor, part of the Portland - Adelaide route since the 1840s. They are essentially the same street divided in two by the railway line (Greenham Street to the west, Wapling Ave to the east). As with most villages, the commercial, civic and religious buildings are clustered along the main thoroughfare, but in this case, so are the significant residential buildings. The main street is dominated by large carved figures, which have been carved from the remaining stumps of the Cedrus atlantica (Atlantic Cedar) Avenue of Honour, planted to commemorate those who served and fell in World War One. The precinct is focussed around Greenham Street, which interestingly has only one church, St. George's Uniting Church, at 85 Greenham Street. Civic facilities of note include the Moderne Public Hall and Bowling Green and the Post Office (which is an earlier building with substantial alterations). There is a concrete road bridge over the Railway Line which appears to date from the interwar period, and the original Weighbridge in Greenham Street also. An intact two storey bluestone Coach House is located at 90 Greenham Street. This is one of the most significant buildings within the precinct. In addition, there are a number of contributory single storey timber dwellings located in Greenham Street, Ascot Street, Lindsay Road.
The following elements contribute to the significance of the precinct:
Timber Cottage, 54 Ascot Street, Dartmoor
. Timber House, 69 Greenham Street, Dartmoor
. Former school residence, 70 Greenham St, Dartmoor
. Public Hall and bowling green, 73 Greenham Street, Dartmoor
. Timber House, 3 Lindsay Road, Dartmoor
. Post Office and Residence , 84 Greenham Street, Dartmoor
. Araucaria heterophylla (Norfolk Island Pine), road reserve in front of 6 Short Street, Dartmoor
. Hughes Store (former), 6 Short Street, Dartmoor
Road bridge over the Railway Line, Greenham Street, Dartmoor
Weighbridge, Greenham Street, Dartmoor
. Avenue of Honour and Carvings
. Dartmoor State School, 76 Greenham Street, Dartmoor
. St. George Uniting Church, 82 Greenham Street, Dartmoor

ACCESS donations support food acquisition, storage and distribution
ACCESS has indicated it can provide five meals for a $1 donation. We were wondering how they can do that (what other resources are combined), and what the meal typically consists of. It's nice to be in a city with this type of service.
— Jerry and Judy, Medford
We imagine 20 cents doesn't generally buy much of a meal, so we touched base with ACCESS Nutrition Programs Director Philip Yates for insight on how locals' monetary donations to ACCESS are spent.
The first thing Yates did was clarify what may have been a misunderstanding of ACCESS promotional material. Yates explained that the organization provides five pounds of food with each dollar, but doesn't purchase food with those donations.
"We don't purchase the food," Yates explained.
Instead, ACCESS partners with the Oregon Food Bank cooperative for the bulk of its food donations, which it pays to have trucked down from Portland. It also grows organic vegetables in the summer at five community gardens, sources donations from local grocers, farms and other food businesses such as Harry and David, Amy's Kitchen and Maranatha nut butters.
That food may come without charge, but keeping it stored safely and delivered to hungry families and the approximately 20 organizations that prepare food sourced from ACCESS has a cost.
"Our costs are around $600,000, and combine that with over 3 million pounds of food," Yates said. "So the relationship is five pounds to one."
Yates emphasized the importance of community food drives, especially for its emergency food box program. Although food drives aren't the bulk of the organization's donations, he explained that drives help ACCESS provide consistent items in its 65-pound boxes that can feed a family of three for about five days.
"Food drives are an important component for us, and help balance the foods we have coming in," he said.
Yates encourages individuals curious about ACCESS' operations to stop by its facility to see the organization's coordination efforts.
"Sometimes people don't understand what's involved in the whole process," he said. "We're pretty food rich in our area; but it's a case of bringing it all together."
Send questions to “Since You Asked,” Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501; by fax to 541-776-4376; or by email to firstname.lastname@example.org. We’re sorry, but the volume of questions received prevents us from answering all of them.

text: CD4+ T follicular helper cells (TFH) in germinal centers are required for maturation of B-cells. While the role of TFH-cells has been studied in blood and lymph nodes of HIV-1 infected individuals, its role in the mucosal tissues has not been investigated. We show that the gut and female reproductive tract (FRT) of humanized DRAG mice have a high level of human lymphocytes and a high frequency of TFH (CXCR5+PD-1++) and precursor-TFH (CXCR5+PD-1+) cells. The majority of TFH-cells expressed CCR5 and CXCR3 and are the most permissive to HIV-1 infection. A single low-dose intravaginal HIV-1 challenge of humanized DRAG mice results in 100% infectivity with accumulation of TFH-cells mainly in the Peyer's patches and FRT. The novel finding of TFH-cells in the FRT may contribute to the high susceptibility of DRAG mice to HIV-1 infection. This mouse model thus provides new opportunities to study TFH-cells and to evaluate HIV-1 vaccines.

As soon as the sun was up I took photos of my goodies before dashing off out for the day.
This is just a teaser of my lovely gift from Heather... I`ll post again when its hanging on my wall & you can see it in all its glory. I love the colours and the retro design - it reminds me of the `oh so 70s` wallpaper we had when I was a kid :
Now my new batts...You cant tell from this photo but they are really sparkly, they have firestar in them. They are very appropriately named Bonfire Shimmer.... soon to be a bonfire shimmer shawl.
Ive made a collage of my most recent felted goodies...
There are 3 scarves that I was playin & experimenting with... 1 commision cobweb scarf & bracelet, plus 1 halloween/gothic cuff. The scarf at the top left has pieces of pure silk devore fabric felted in... Im really pleased with how it turned out.
Im desperately trying to sew leather soles onto slippers... but things keep on distracting me! My mission is to get them sewn & listed this week - must be strict with myself.

Next Generation Nissan Juke Slated For September 3 Reveal
The Nissan Juke was not exactly a big hit in the United States. The funky-designed compact crossover which sports curvy lines was not able to find a niche in the highly competitive market. While the original Juke is still on sale in parts of Europe, Nissan totally pulled the plug in the United States. Close to a decade after its original debut, Nissan is poised to release second-generation Juke, and the Japanese carmaker is slated to reveal the new Juke on September 3.
Just like the original, the new iteration of the Juke is expected to feature the same funky and novel design approach which made its famous - or in some cases infamous. The new model is expected to sport a new split-headlight design. It will also feature a new slim daytime running lights and rounded headlight design.
Nissan released a teaser photo of the next-generation Juke. Unfortunately, it is just a façade that teases the crossover's front design. Based on the released photo, the new Juke will retain that same curvy design concept. What caught the attention of many analysts is its headlight design.
It has been confirmed on several occasions that the Juke will be built on the same platform used to build the Renault Clio, as well as the next-generation Captur. Nissan has yet to confirm this, but many in the auto community believe that the new Juke is available in a plug-in hybrid version. The car's engine is believed to be a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine partnered with an electric motor with a 9.8kWh battery pack.
Judging by this setup, the next-generation Nissan Juke should easily reach up to 20 miles on electric power alone. The electric motor should also give the Juke a nice push when accelerating, as well as a little bit of juice when reaching its top speed.
Speculations claim that the new Juke will be bigger compared to the current model. This means that it will have a bigger rear passenger knee and headroom. Fans are applauding this design change, as the original Juke was criticized for this very reason.
Although the teaser images did not reveal much, a number of spy shots of the compact crossover have indicated that the new model will sport the same trunk design as the old model. Nissan only made a couple of changes in terms of rear fender design.
The new-generation Nissan Juke is expected to be revealed on September 3. Nissan is also expected to make additional reveals as to the specifications of the car during the event.


Background: Predicting the evolution of the brain network, also called connectome, by foreseeing changes in the connectivity weights linking pairs of anatomical regions makes it possible to spot connectivity-related neurological disorders in earlier stages and detect the development of potential connectomic anomalies. Remarkably, such a challenging prediction problem remains least explored in the predictive connectomics literature. It is a known fact that machine learning (ML) methods have proven their predictive abilities in a wide variety of computer vision problems. However, ML techniques specifically tailored for the prediction of brain connectivity evolution trajectory from a single timepoint are almost absent. New method: To fill this gap, we organized a Kaggle competition where 20 competing teams designed advanced machine learning pipelines for predicting the brain connectivity evolution from a single timepoint. The teams developed their ML pipelines with combination of data pre-processing, dimensionality reduction and learning methods. Each ML framework inputs a baseline brain connectivity matrix observed at baseline timepoint t0 and outputs the brain connectivity map at a follow-up timepoint t1. The longitudinal OASIS-2 dataset was used for model training and evaluation. Both random data split and 5-fold cross-validation strategies were used for ranking and evaluating the generalizability and scalability of each competing ML pipeline. Results: Utilizing an inclusive approach, we ranked the methods based on two complementary evaluation metrics (mean absolute error (MAE) and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC)) and their performances using different training and testing data perturbation strategies (single random split and cross-validation). The final rank was calculated using the rank product for each competing team across all evaluation measures and validation strategies. Furthermore, we added statistical significance values to each proposed pipeline. Conclusion: In support of open science, the developed 20 ML pipelines along with the connectomic dataset are made available on GitHub (https://github.com/basiralab/Kaggle-BrainNetPrediction-Toolbox). The outcomes of this competition are anticipated to lead the further development of predictive models that can foresee the evolution of the brain connectivity over time, as well as other types of networks (e.g., genetic networks).

Our first stop today is a visit to the fortified Angkor Thom, where we’ll see such iconic sites as the Terrace of Elephants, the Royal Enclosure and the Temple of Bayon with its giant smiling faces of Buddha. We venture underneath the dense tree canopy to the crumbling, moss-covered ruins of the Buddhist temple of Ta Prohm, which featured as the location for the film ‘Tomb Raider’, exploring its towers courtyards and corridors to uncover the intricate stone reliefs that are shielded by the surrounding foliage. Enjoy an afternoon at leisure or consider joining an Optional Experience to learn the secrets of Khmer cuisine.
Day 14: Peak Sneng Village
We begin the day in the company of local Khmer villagers and ‘Make A Difference’ with a visit to their local school (term time only) for an opportunity to chat to some of the children who will join us on our walk through the village to see how they spend their day-to-day lives. We’ll ‘Dive Into Culture’, gaining insights into their time-honoured craft traditions, such as palm leaf weaving. After the rest of the day at leisure, we’ll join our Travel Director and fellow expeditioners for a Farewell Dinner with Apsara dance show.

VANCOUVER – Orange County Blues FC Jamaican defender Brenton Griffiths headed home a late winner as the Blues went on the road to beat Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 1-0 on Wednesday at Thunderbird Stadium. The winning tally came off a set piece chance in the 88th minute. Orange County improved to 9-10-4 (31 points) overall to move into sixth place in the standings. The Blues are now 4-6-2 on the road. Vancouver maintains a two-point lead over the second-place LA Galaxy II, but have played two more matches than Los Dos. WFC2 is now 10-6-7 (37 points) and 5-2-3 at home. This marked the second and final regular-season meeting of the season between WFC2 and Orange County. Vancouver defeated the Blues 1-0 on March 26 at Anteater Stadium in the season opener for both clubs.
88’ – OC – Brenton Griffiths
Three Things That Mattered:
1. For much of Wednesday’s match, it appeared as though it would end in a scoreless draw as both teams looked lackadaisical in the final third. Orange County earned a late corner kick opportunity, and the Blues did just enough to steal an important victory on the road. Roy Meeus delivered the left-footed corner from the right and WFC2 had a pair of defenders going up for an attempted clearance. It was Sem de Wit who rose up and made contact, but the redirect went toward the left of the box where the Blues’ Brenton Griffiths was waiting. Unmarked, he headed it into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead and his third tally of the season.
2. Orange County forward and recent signing Orr Barouch made his debut Wednesday, entering the match in the 57th minute. He reunited with defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe who was making his third appearance and earned the start. Barouch and Watson-Siriboe were former MLS teammates with the Chicago Fire. The Blues are certainly hoping their experience in the back and in the attack will pay dividends as the club looks to make a rise up the Western Conference standings.
3. Vancouver was closer than the Blues on several occasions during the first 45 minutes, even though Orange County tended to have the better of the possession throughout the opening half. WFC2 typically played through Fatawu Safiu in most the club’s first-half buildups. Safiu demonstrated some finesse with his feet to create enough space for a right-footed shot from 24 yards out in the 11th minute but pushed his shot a little wide left. In the 29th minute, Safiu crossed the ball in from the left and Orange County’s back line had a scary moment when the Blues’ deflection popped up over the crossbar and hit the top netting for a WFC2 corner kick. For Safiu, he picked up his fifth caution of the season and will miss the club’s next match against Arizona United SC on Aug. 21, serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.

CHINA’S emissions of climate-warming carbon dioxide fell last year for the first time in more than a decade, offering fresh evidence that efforts to control pollution in the nation of 1.4 billion people are gaining traction.
Total carbon emissions in the world’s second-biggest economy dropped 2 percent in 2014 compared with the previous year, the first drop since 2001, according to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) estimate based on preliminary energy demand data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics.
“Coal demand is slowing” while all other fuels, including oil, gas and renewables, are being consumed more, said Sophie Lu, a Beijing-based analyst at BNEF.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has identified shifting energy consumption in China as among the reasons global carbon-dioxide emissions also didn’t rise last year for the first time in 40 years without an economic crisis.
Fatih Birol, the IEA’s chief economist who was named in February as the agency’s next executive director, told the Financial Times newspaper in an interview that the drop in global emissions absent economic disruption is unparalleled.
The China results are a glimmer of good news for the nation’s leaders and their push to clean up China’s environment.
In the battle to rein in pollution, China has cut its dependence on coal. The nation, the world’s biggest carbon emitter, has also poured money into clean energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro developments.
China led in renewables last year with investments of $89.5 billion, accounting for almost one out of every three dollars spent on clean energy in the world, according to BNEF figures released in January.
Domestic coal production is falling along with consumption.
China’s coal consumption fell 2.9 percent in 2014 from the previous year, the first drop in at least a decade, said Tian Miao, a Beijing-based analyst at North Square Blue Oak Ltd., a research company in London with a focus on China.
China’s energy consumption growth weakened to 3.8 percent in 2014, the lowest since 1998, as the economy expanded at its slowest pace since 1990.
The world’s biggest energy consumer got 11 percent of its primary energy from nonfossil fuels, including renewables and nuclear in 2014, up from 9.8 percent a year earlier, the National Energy Administration said on December 31. China is targeting 15 percent of its energy from such fuels by 2020.
The proportion of coal fell to 64.2 percent last year from 66 percent in 2013, according to the NEA.
Hebei, China’s most polluted province, cut coal consumption by 15 million tons, closed 141 mines and stopped work to improve 478 mines last year, Chen Guoying, head of the provincial environmental protection department, said this week.
China plans to cap carbon emissions by 2030 under an agreement reached between US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in November.
A wider climate change accord is expected to be finalized in Paris climate talks in December after negotiations in Lima last year had ended with a plan for nations to commit to cut emissions.

The University of the South Pacific’s Technical and Further Education program, is working on providing more short courses for locals after this global pandemic.
Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Pal Ahluwalia confirmed that discussions are underway on creating more affordable courses to help up skill people, as the university realizes the immediate need for self-employment at such a time after COVID19.
The University of the South Pacific’s Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Pal Ahluwalia says during these difficult economic times people much embrace change and move forward to find ways to provide for their families.
“We are getting into more short courses and it’s very important for the Pacific TAFE to be able to provide those kind of facilities and to provide short courses for people who really need those kind of qualifications”.
Despite such uncertain times, Prof Ahluwalia through these short courses, new businesses will be able to create a multiplier effect, helping employ others- hence sustaining livelihoods.
“These are all agents of change and then they will take this back to their communities- just the qualification for one person is rather that their will be a multiplication throughout their communities”.
The university has also noticed a significant increase in females who are enrolled in short courses at Pacific TAFE.
“I think that it’s just sensational, I mean it shows how diverse our communities is and how empowered our women are and it’s just fantastic to see that.”
Prof. Ahluwalia believes there is no end to education, and now more than ever people much think about up skilling themselves, in order to survive through such difficult times.
“I think that’s a reflection of whats happening in our time at the moment, that people are re-skilling, they are trying to do whatever they can. And these are difficult times and so people are really really embracing change and empowering themselves and their communities.”
USP will be offering more short courses in the coming months as Semester 2 is set to begin on August 3rd.

And amidst all of this, the burning question must naturally be asked: if we turned the Digi Charat crew into a family of mobsters, would they be called 'The Sporanyo's?"
Sac-beating that the author is no doubt going to receiver for that one aside, the other burning question that must naturally be asked here is: where has all the yuri gone? Where, oh where, indeed? Some would argue that a wandering pudding stuffed all the yuri into its satchel and made off, but since that's neither here nor there it must be somewhere else.
After all, on a ship with this many Anime babes, there has to be at least one lemon-filled scene or twenty-two going on somewhere! But since this fic is only rated PG at best, we abhor such things! And we'll give all of you readers a naughty finger- wagging of justice and scold you for ever thinking of such perverted shenanigans, and...oh, who are we kidding?
Long live fanservice!!!
And no one was living it up better than Havoc, who had so far stripped over 86% of the ship's compliment either nekkid or down to their underwear. Coincidentally, he also had over 86% of the ship's compliment chasing after him down the corridors. Despite the guns a' blazing and the myriad of colourful death threats being hurled his way, Havoc remained totally oblivious to all this, thinking it was all a game of 'Capture the Thong'.
So far the count was 456 thongs captured behind enemy panty- lines.
Not a Delmo on the ship could stop Havoc as he darted in and out of rooms, bounded down the halls and leapt up stairwells with underwear being yanked off in his wake. Blue Delmo's, Black Delmo's and Pink Delmo's were all left helpless (and quite drafty) as Havoc passed them by.
"Ah, if only the rest of the Benkyo Brigade could be here," he sighed wistfully, Chocolate Misu's panties now on his head. "We could divide into groups and assign each one a colour. The group who steals the most panties from that colour of Delmo girls wins a trip to the Pioneer Onsen Resort!"
After all, if it doesn't have an onsen scene, it's not a Pioneer anime!
Havoc grinned as he bounded ahead of all the Delmo girls chasing after him, careening around a corner and into yet another room for a session of pillage the panties. However, a surprise was waiting for him. Namely the elite Golden Delmo officers: Haruka, Michiru, Miss Deep, Ifurita, A-ko and Minni-May.
Desolation: [chasing after Havoc!] "Havoc, watch out! It's a trap!"
Havoc: "So why did you just run right into it after me?"
Desolation: >.< "Shimatta!"
Havoc and Desolation turned around, only to watch as Golden Delmo Puchiko hit an alarm. The door closed and sealed the two fanboys inside.
"We have you trapped now, dechu!" Golden Delmo leader, Ebichu, stated, pointing at Havoc.
Alone with the several very irate-looking Golden Delmos and their interesting array of weapons, Havoc & Desolation carefully and strategically evaluated his situation. "If only they had metal outfits like the Knight Sabres," Havoc mused. "I've got a fantastic magnet here that would strip them all nekkid in two seconds flat."
"If that was the case, I've got a can opener in my pack somewhere too," Desolation helpfully added.
The Golden Delmo Anime babes started to close in around them.
"Your perverted antics end here, Havoc," Golden Delmo Haruka stated, ready to prime one of her World Shaking attacks.
Golden Delmo A-ko cracked her knuckles. "We have orders from our beloved Hargen-sama to deliver you to the hell where otaku are skinned alive and then turned into rugs for the living rooms of Puchuu bears."
Desolation turned to Havoc. "That's actually not so bad as they make it sound. The only problems I ever had was when a Puchuu didn't wipe his muddy feet off at the front door before walking all over me."
Golden Delmos: "......"
Havoc looked to each Golden Delmo in turn, and then much to their surprise, he removed his DOJI BOY sweater. Volumes of panties and bras toppled out in the process.
"Well, ladies," he said. "While I do respect the fact that you are doing your duties, I cannot stand idly by and permit you to commit such crimes against hentai! Usually at a crucial scene like this, I'd ask you beautiful women 'Can't we just all perv along?', but that has been eclipsed by a blot of evil who's name is none other than Hargen!"
"Hush!" Golden Delmo Michiru snapped, smacking Desolation across the side of the face. "Don't you dare speak ill of Hargen- sama like that ever again!"
Desolation: -.-;;; [turning to Havoc] "Why did I just get smacked for something you said?"
Havoc: [shrug!] "Panties?"
"And why shouldn't I speak ill of that buffoon who prances and parades around like he was the author's gift to lemons?" Havoc retorted back at Michiru. "What has he done to earn your gratitude? To earn your respect? To earn your elegant choice of underwear?! Nothing, I tell you! He holds you captive here, prisoner to his twisted-tales-of-Tokyo whims. Why else are all of you wearing behaviour modifiers hidden inside the lining of your bras?"
Upon hearing that, Havoc held aloft Golden Delmo Minni May's bra and tore open one of the cups, revealing a small microchip inside. Minni May shrieked, though more at the fact that Havoc had somehow managed to steal her bra, and then ruin it.
"There will be other bras, dear Minni May-chan," Havoc soothed her. "But first consider what sort of a low-level pervert must first brainwash his babes into following him, and then further enforce it with these modifier chips? Does he truly appreciate the beauty and majesty of your forms? Does he adore the sensuous touch and feel of the female body? Does he want you to feel ecstatic pleasure, or is he just trying to get in his own sexual kicks at your expense?
"Today he's going to use you all for sexual favours, and claim it's to repopulate the earth with more freak-biscuits like him. But what about tomorrow? Tomorrow Hargen might be swapping you with Akio in the backseat of the Akiocar! Is that the man you would call your own personal Hentenno? Do you want to serve a man like Hargen, a man who will never allow Rule 3 to exist just so his own pithy ego can be satisfied; a man who sleeps with his own sister?!"
The Golden Delmo's resolve was beginning to waver.
"Is there not a man here, cell-drawn or self-inserted, who would stand up and fight for your hentai rights?" Havoc exclaimed, starting to pace the room. "Is there not a hero who will help you rediscover the Tao of Rule 3, and the Zen of Fanservice? Is there not a hentai out there who will risk life and lemon to free you, and make you all masters of your own yuri?"
NinNin: ^^v "I'm here, Hentenno!"
[Desolation turns around & shoots NinNin with a spare beam cannon!]
Havoc: "Thank you."
Desolation: ^-^ "Don't mention it."
Havoc turned back to the Golden Delmo babes. "Well, there is, dammit! And he stands before you as the one, the true, the only Hentenno that has ever existed. He has created Hentopia. He has established Planet Hentai! He has found true inner perv in the serenity that is El Dojirado! And he will not let you women take this crap from some two-bit hentai hack like Hargen! Did Nagumo just sit back and let all those tentacle monsters overrun his school?"
He paused to let the Golden Delmo's answer, but right about then they were at a complete loss for words. So it was left for Desolation to pick up Havoc's sentiment and exclaim dramatically, "NO!"
"Exactly!" Havoc agreed. "For I may take your panties and your bras, and I may cop a feel off any of you, but I would never take...your yuri! So come and follow me if you wish to seek your freedom from this tyrannical fop. Or if you've been brainwashed into being that devoted to him, then you know what you must do. I will leave you with something that Hargen will never give you: the choice."
His great speech done, Havoc let out a deep sigh and turned to face his executors. "You may fire at will, my loves."
Golden Delmo Ifurita stepped forward and unleashed the full power of her staff at point-blank range.
And in a very anti-climactic way, Cream Lemon ensued.
Lots if it.
Moments later, Havoc's head popped up from the chest-high levels of whipped cream. He grinned as he surveyed the dozens of stunned, Cream Lemon-covered and soon to be nekkid Golden Delmo girls. "I love my work," he sighed, tying the dorsal fin of a shark on top of his head before sinking into the whipped cream.
"I love your work too," Desolation's head remarked as it drifted on by. "Ne, do you think you could point me to the rest of my body parts?"
"Time to see how Weapon: Kawaii is faring," Hargen remarked, smug in the knowledge that by now the fanboy intruders must be subdued by his elite weapon. "Patch me through to her."
One of the White Delmo's nodded. "Hai!"
The viewscreen flickered to life, displaying a room that was nothing short of a Hello Kitty night terror. Sanrio wall scrolls and throw pillows were everywhere. The wallpaper was an amazing Dragon Pink colour, with all sorts of bishie boyband posters tacked all over. The floor was a sea of plushies, and wading through it were no less than 40 Anime babes...all dressed in kawaii frilly aprons and loathing it.
Hysteria's face suddenly popped up on the screen.
"Ohayo gozaimasu!" she chimed. "Golden Delmo-chan Hysteria reporting!"
Hargen slowly looked from one side of the viewscreen to the next, noting the myriad of tables and tea sets. Not to mention the leg shackles chaining all of *his* prisoners to the tables. "Hysteria, just what exactly are you doing?" Hargen asked.
Hysteria beamed as she poured Ryoko another cup of Hotcha Ocha tea. "Why, Hysteria's having a kawaii little tea party-chan with the kawaii little prisoner-chans, of course!"
"What about your mission?" Hargen said. "You were supposed to go after the intruders on the ship. You know, the males. What happened to attacking the male intruders?"
For a brief instant, Hysteria had the expression of a Shinma caught in the headlights. Then she burst out in a fit of nervous giggles. "Gomen nasai! Hysteria completely forgot about that!"
Hargen groaned in exasperation and cradled his head in his hands. "What use is a weapon like her if she turns on your own luscious troops?" he muttered.
The viewscreen was turned off.
In the end, it was decided that the ship was better off with Hysteria terrorizing the captive Anime babes rather than the rest of crew. Besides, Hargen reflected, ten minutes with her would make becoming a Delmo girl a much more pleasant alternative.
Hargen turned his head as he noted some Blue Delmo officers step onto the bridge, one of his prisoners accompanying them. "Can I help you?" he inquired as Hotaru was brought before him. He smirked as he noted that his chair gave him the perfect view of Hotaru's blue panties.
"She wishes to join the Delmo's of her own free will," one of the Blue Delmo girls stated. "She asked that she be brought to you personally, to show you her dedication."
Hargen scratched his chin. "She does, ne? You'll have to forgive my scepticism, but this sounds like a near-perfect ploy to lower my guard long enough for you to get an attack in. You are, after all, an Outer Senshi, my dear."
A kuroneko-like grin appeared on Hotaru's face, and she squatted down in front of Hargen, now giving him a perfect crotch shot of her panties. "But of course I am," she purred, leaning forward and letting him see down the top of her shirt. "And it's the excitement of having a spitfire like me that makes you want me all the more. Ne?"
Hargen licked his lips as his gaze became fixated on Hotaru's crotch. "You're intriguing me. Go on."
Hotaru slid one of her fingers into her mouth and sucked on it for a moment before slowly, teasingly drawing back out. "I want you, Hargen-sama," she whispered in a throat, lusty voice. She began to comb her fingers through the long strands of Hargen's hair. "Fill me, and I will fulfill your every dream."
Hargen grinned at her advances.
Desolation, on the other hand, made a gagging noise, followed by mouthing 'loser' to Hargen.
Casting a sidelong glance over at Desolation, who had once again managed to infiltrate the bridge by sheer accident, Hargen thumbed over to the fanboy and said to Hotaru, "I'll make you scream my name, after you first prove your loyalty to me. Kill him."
A wicked smile grew on Hotaru's face as she rose up and started stalking her way towards Desolation. In seeing how serious she was, Desolation sweatdropped. "Um...Hotaru, what's with the indecent proposal to Captain Lipstick over there? You're not serious about wanting to share a lemonfic with him, are you? What about your love for Chaos? For as much of a baka as he is, he's certainly the lesser of two evils here!"
That didn't stop Hotaru.
In fact, the thought of spurning Chaos seemed to turn her on even more.
Desolation gulped and pulled out a pomegranate. "I'm warning you, Hotaru," he said nervously. "I've got a pomegranate of doom, and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Hotaru stood face to face with Desolation and hooked her arms around the back of his neck. She leaned in closely to Desolation's ear. "Make it look good," Hotaru muttered
Desolation gawked at her.
She immediately jammed her knee into his groin.
Then began to grind her knee in even further.
Desolation's eyes went crossed as his face turned many different colours not usually found in nature. His eyes subsequently uncrossed when Hotaru pulled out Rampage, and stuffed Desolation down Rampage's mouth.
Rampage: ^-^ "BUUUUUUURRRRRPP! CHU CHU!"
Hotaru: "Hmm...you've still got a leg sticking out of your mouth, Rampage-chan. Here, let me get a plunger and help you get it all down."
Desolation: [muffled voice inside Rampage's stomach!] "Hey, look! My 'Wu' mark glows in the dark!"
"Ara ara," Hargen said, rising from his captain's chair. "You've done better than I would have expected. And letting a fanboy like that suffer the agony of being digested in a kawaii obligatory mascot's stomach certainly shows your devotion. I'm impressed, Hotaru-chan. I really am."
He gestured for her to follow him as he strolled out from the bridge, two Blue Delmo girls accompanying them.
"In fact," Hargen continued. "I'll let you experience things you've never even imagined."
He placed his hand on her butt and copped a feel.
Hotaru purred and snuggled up against his chest. "Hai, Hargen-sama...."
Things were not going very well for Carnage. Over the course of the entire latter half of the fic, he'd been stripped nekkid much like Raiden from Movie Gear Solid 2, and been forced to run through the corridors & disarming the Delmo girls on guard with nekkid bishie flips!
Carnage: -.-;; "I'll never live this down. Thank Kami-sama that Ruckus hasn't found me yet."
As he went streaking down the corridors, his hands strategically placed over his own personal Deathscythe Hell Custom, Carnage stumbled across Desolation, who was busy reclining on a patio table and drinking a Goldenboy Cadillac.
"Hey, Carnage!" Desolation called out, waving Carnage over. "How've you been?"
Carnage tossed a cautionary glance over his shoulder. "I think I lost Blue Delmo Kekko Kamen back there," he said between gasps for air. "And all I can say is that these metal corridors are freezing! I'm going to catch a cold at this rate!"
"It's not that cold, is it?" Desolation asked.
Carnage let out a helpless sigh. "Doesn't matter. All Anime characters are easily susceptible to cliche-timed colds and anaemia, regardless of who they are. You could sit in a puddle for five seconds and catch a violent cold! It could be a nice, cool spring day, but one sneeze and you become anaemic & then pass out melodramatically on the sidewalk!"
Suddenly from within the depths of the ship, a loud chorus of girlish giggles and stampeding feet could be heard. Cries of, "Carnage-samaaaaaa!" echoed down the corridors.
"Oh no, not again," Carnage groaned. "I thought that giant Carnage plushie in the bathroom would stall them for longer than that."
[Cue Ruckus bounding across the ceiling, a giant Carnage plushie in his hands!]
Ruckus: v^-^v "Score!"
Carnage: -.-;; "I detest that ninja."
"You know," Desolation remarked. "If all those Anime babes love and adore you now thanks to your disorder, why not lead them to storm Hargen's bridge?"
"Because that would make too much sense in a fic like this," Carnage replied evenly. "Plus I'm also naked. They'd forget all about the revolting the second they'd get within glomping or fondling distance. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go hide."
He quickly scanned the hallway and found one door waiting not five steps away.
"Oh, and if any of those babes ask," he added over his shoulder as he headed towards the door. "I'm off on some top-secret mission for OZ. Ne?"
"Um...you may not want to go in there," Desolation said, taking another sip of his drink.
"Well, I've got to hide somewhere," Carnage replied. "So I'm going to open this door!"
Carnage flung upon the door, only to discover a room filled to the ceiling with Cream Lemon, and Golden Delmo legs flailing about everywhere. And moulded right into the whipped cream at the doorway was Desolation.
Desolation: ^-^ "I'd rather you didn't!"
[Cue the Cream Lemon tsunami being unleashed, and flooding the corridor!]
Carnage: [being washed away in whipped cream!] "USOOOOOOO!!!"
Havoc: ^^v [on a surfboard with Ifurita!] "Hotcha! Baby got bounce!"

After a most disastrous attempt to replace my kawaii writing assistants with kawaii writing Puchuu bears, I have decided to take your demands into consideration. I see from your most recent letter that my kawaii writing assistants are alive and being well treated, so I am open to some form of negotiations.
>1) Never chase after the lake god again. The kawaii writing staff will >remain in our custody until I am assured that no further... >transgressions...take place.
I, His lordship Chaos, the author, do hereby agree to never chase after the lake god again. Of course, I myself never even bothered doing that in the first place, so it works well for me. My avatar, Chaos, thanks you for allowing him to still hunt down what he claims is rightfully his mascot. From what I hear, you may be expecting a vacuum cleaner in the mail soon.
>2) You will only cross dress every other Wednesday on even numbered months >during the full moon.
Now while I was hoping to dress up as Dr. Frank-N-Fighter (complete with a sweet transsexual Sailor Starlight hotpants & bikini top) for the next Anime North convention, I shall agree to this. As a result, I shall instead be dressing up as androgynous creatures who have no overly apparent gender.
I expect that Puchuu-bear-Chaos will be quite the hit of AN03 next summer....
>3) You must be part of Quistis' whip show while wearing a Delmo dress.
Now this is problematic. Having just agreed not to cross-dress save for your noted exception, I cannot understand how you are going to arrange me wearing a Delmo dress for such a busy tour. Will Quistis' whip show be held only on every other Wednesday, on even numbered months during the full moon? That sounds rather unfair to Quistis, I must confess.
If she feels that you are not treating her well by giving her such a disappointing touring schedule, perhaps she would find that her skills would be better suited and appreciated here as one of my newest kawaii, female writing assistants. Do relay my fondest wishes and my offer to her when you see her next, ne?
His lordship Chaos.
P.S.: I am sending you the fic I wrote while under the influence of the Puchuu bear assistants, a Pikachu & Mokona yaoi crossover. Ash tries to stop them, but gets tag-teamed by Ascot & Clef. As you are well trying not to imagine, things devolve from there. If you would be so kind as to read through it, and if you've somehow survived at the end, tell me if Oscar should get a cameo in all this.
P.P.S.: I'm also thinking of entitling this fic, "Under the Yum-Yum Tree." What do you think? ^^v
Desolation gripped his head between his hands, and snapped it around. A loud and rather grisly "crack!" came from his spine, causing Pesti-chan to shudder. "Ano...I think we lost them," Desolation remarked, snapping his head back around to its proper position. "Ah, it's good to know that when you're a 'Wu', the human head can indeed turn 180 degrees!"
The two skidded to a stop as they hit yet another intersection, nearly colliding with Demolition and Dark Mayhem.
"Yo," Dark Mayhem said. "How've you guys been?"
"Been better, admittedly," Pesti-chan replied. "It's sort of hard to enjoy yourself when you keep getting shot at."
Demolition glanced over at Desolation. "And I see you haven't been able to fade back into obscurity again."
"Not for a lack of trying, I assure you," Desolation sighed, shaking his head. "I don't think there's a scene I haven't been in since this whole damn Milly Stone thing screwed up the omakefic."
A katana blade suddenly erupted out from one of the walls, neatly cutting a door the perfect size for Riot to step out through. "Ah, most honourable entrance-fu," he remarked, rather proud of his flawless effort. "My years of making most honourable origami cranes on the raging shores paid off after all!"
"Ooooh," came Ruckus' voice from above their heads. "I'd have loved to have seen you all soaked in a Speedo, Riot-cutie!"
Seconds later, Ruckus dropped down from the ceiling, glomping right onto Pesti-chan's back.
Ruckus: ^-^ "Oh, I know someone who's all sweaty from running around this ship! What say I help wash your back in the shower room, ne?"
Pesti: o.O; [ack!] "Knock it off, you perverted ninja! I only just got myselves back together two scenes ago!"
"Hey guys," Demolition said, pointing down another corridor. "Incoming."
The fanboys all turned around, and who should be staggering their way, a freshly opened bottle of Sake in one hand and a spent Uzi machine gun in the other, but Nena. Nena glared at them as they blocked her path. "You're not my beloved Hargen onii-sama," she slurred.
"I'm also not Aya Hisakawa either," Dark Mayhem glibly replied. "But you don't see me crying over it."
That didn't seem to put Nena in any better a mood. "Where is he?" she snarled, staggering back and forth. "Where is my beloved onii-san? Have you tried to steal him away from me?!"
"Excuse me, but do we look like Akio?" Demolition snapped.
Ruckus snorted indignantly. "Please, woman! Your brother uses far too much foundation, his hair has split ends, he has far too many fetishes, and his clothing selection would make even the Not- so-cool Fashion Boy cringe."
Fanboys: [sweatdrop!] "A-Ano...."
Ruckus: "Well, it's true."
"Ne, do you guys think we could take Nena hostage and use her as leverage for getting our Anime babes back?" Demolition asked.
Desolation shrugged. "Depends. Would anyone here want to actually have to touch Nena?"
The fanboys stared at each other, and then sighed.
"Hai hai," the chorused.
Nena huffed and took another gulp from her giant bottle of Sake. "Hmph! You boys have no idea how truly sexy I am!"
"No, but we certainly know how most dishonourably scary you are," Riot added.
Pesti-chan lifted his head, straining to hear some vague, distant noise. "Hey, guys," he said. "Does anyone else hear some sort of low rumble?"
Riot sagely nodded. "It has been growing louder for the past few minutes, and seems to have originated from the bowels of the ship, though my listen-fu skills cannot tell me what it might be."
He glanced back at Dark Mayhem, who was busy sliding into a large inner tube.
Riot: "Ano...what is that for?"
Dark Mayhem: "Comedic if not ironic timing."
[Cue the Cream Lemon tsunami crashing through the hallway, sweeping Nena & the fanboys away!!]
Back to Fanfics
"See any more Delmo girls behind us?" Pesti-chan asked over his shoulder as he and Desolation raced through the seemingly endless maze of corridors.

COUNTY: White Pine
CLIMATE: Hot summer, cool winter.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime.
COMMENTS: Great site to visit.
The town was located on the southeast side of famed Treasure Hill. The first discoveries were made in December 1867 when the Eberhardt Mine was located. The mine had a fabulously rich ore chamber that the federal mining commissioner reported as having walls and ceiling of silver. During construction of the mills, Eberhardt’s population grew to more than 200. Businesses opened and mail was brought from Hamilton three times a week. As mill construction progressed, the town continued to boom. Saloons, mercantile stores, and other businesses thrived. But disaster struck on August 31, 1872 when one of the largest mills was destroyed by a suspicious fire. The mill was rebuilt and started operating in November of 1873. Eberhardt’s population stood at 170 in 1880 but soon after the town began a rapid decline. Mining became sporadic and by 1897 only four homes and two inhabitants were left. Today, the massive foundations of the mills dominate Eberhardt and building ruins are scattered throughout the site. The site presents unlimited exploration possibilities for photographers and ghost town enthusiasts.

I thought many of the images from the 30s echo the same themes as Ruttmann's film Sinfonie der Großstadt. He has photographs of people on their way to work and during their free time. The motifs of city life are central: train stations, traffic, buildings...but also the places of recreation: the zoo, the lakes around Berlin. Actually, he had a strange fascination for the zoo, and some of the photos were even funny, comparing the zoo visitors to the animals.
More on the exhibit.
I love this picture below of the women eating ice cream. Their bikes, their skirts, the sunlight...It's so beautiful.
|"Nach der Schule ein Eis" (um 1931).|
And I love this image, below. I didn't see it in the exhibition, but I know it from his other work. It's the perfect symbol for the West German "Wirtschaftswunder," the "economic miracle" of postwar recovery. And so funny :)
