For anyone following the Kekkaishi manga circa vol 10 or anime ep 36-37 (which was just released subbed)... I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say the following.
Goodnight, sweet prince. May our manly tears herald your passing into the sacred halls of Garhalla.

So guys...that Panthera-whatchamacallit has gone up in price since it came out this afternoon. Started out being sold for 149 cash in the cash shop. Now it is 399 cash. confused
There's an announcement in SF by Lanzer saying that the original price was a mistake, so that's why it's been changed. I really hope that's true... =/

Streamjumper AzurePaleSky Streamjumper AzurePaleSky Corn is what ******** things up in the western diet... yet I'd make a fortune with them in Harvest Moon since they'd regrow! By ******** things up in the western diet, do you mean pellegra? What's pellegra? It messed up the fat composition in our bodies.. corn is in most things the average American eats (corn syrup, etc) and because of they we have way too many omega-6 fats and not enough omega-3 fats, which makes our breast milk the worst out of most country's women. Anyway, this has consequences on our intelligence/brain function, as omega-3s are essential and we need a balance of the two fats instead of omega-6 towering over omega-3. I could go into more detail if anyone cares (I'm writing a research paper on this) and how it relates to the female figure and baby brains. edit... it also kinda screwed over many American farmers by having them stuck in this long chain of growing corn and soy season after season (alternating) and then having to compete with the ridiculous new genetic strains of corn that engineers came up with. Pellagra (which I often misspell with a second e in place of the a) is a dietary disease happening when a diet lacks niacin and proteins like tryptophan. It is common in diets based too heavily around corn and lacking in dairy, meat, poultry, or fish. Treating the corn with alkali (like lye, just ask Nabs about this one, its pretty fascinating all on its own) also makes niacin available. Its name is indicative of one of the symptoms, pelle(rough)-agra(skin), as it causes severe dermatitis in addition to insomnia, dementia, light sensitivity, aggression, confusion, and weakness. First Nation people had handled the problem for centuries since they used lye to render their corn more easily digested and highly edible as well as using it as a staple yet keeping a nutritional balance I think a better choice of wording in your case would have been that the prevalence of corn products in our diet causes some problems... rather than "corn ******** up the western diet". The dietary benefits of corn and many of its products are quite substantial, especially given how easy and cheap it can be to grow as well as how many diets worldwide it is featured as a staple in. It is an imbalance in consumption rather than the food itself that is causing the problems you're mentioning. Much like the overconsumption of anything will cause a problem. Strictly out of curiosity, does this study deal with areas of the world where corn is a huge part of the daily diet in a more straightforward form like hominy, angu, mealie pap, sadza, or nshima? In many parts of South America and Africa maize is a crazy huge part of the diet. If this is what I'm suspecting, it is more a case of prepared food being bad, since the prevalence of corn syrup is endemic, much like sulfides, sodium, and a small laundry list of other items that normally don't mean much in a balanced and mostly self-prepared diet, but can lead to problems in a similar but mainly pre-prepared diet. It's more an imbalance in the amount of products that contain things derived from corn, I think. It's funny, the average American has a lot more of a certain type of carbon (that gets in us from the amount of corn we consume) over the average Mexican, by a large proportion. So yeah, we do consume a lot more corn than Latin Americans. They have it mostly in a purer form, so it's not so bad. However, as they become more westernized and import more foods they'll mirror us. A reason why the food industry has used corn is because of how cheap it is. edit... the fact that many things are being engineered to eat corn (cattle, fish, etc) like you mentioned really mucks with things too and has to deal with just how much corn is in our bodies.

Zero Omega Hey Gator, did you know Bosstones are touring again? They're gonna be in Cambridge, Mass from Dec 26-Dec 30. They're also releasing a b-sides compilation called Medium Rare with three new songs. This excites me in ways I cannot explain. And the Cambridge show sounds vaguely like a new version of their old "Live from the Middle East" shows. Edit: And about ten seconds of looking about confirms that this is another Hometown Throwdown at the Middle East, with another show planned for New Year's... but no actual tour, just a few shows at the ol' homestead. EDIT 2: HOLY ********, THEIR NEW YEAR'S EVE SHOW IS AT LUPOS!!!! eek

EDIT 2: HOLY ********, THEIR NEW YEAR'S EVE SHOW IS AT LUPOS!!!! eek I take it this is good news? xd For two years, from about September 94 to May 96 Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island was one of my homes every weekend and many weeknights. I saw so many awesome shows there (including several that got taped for live albums, like a bunch of stuff for Ben Folds Five's album "Naked Baby Pictures")... as well as the nearby Strand and Mama Met's Cafe. Those places were the site of many epic ska, punk, and alt-rock shows that I can't fully articulate the awesomeness that I managed to witness there... let alone the unbelievable amounts that I KNOW I missed out on. Lupos is the place where I met the Tones after Ben fell off the stage and was caught by me and my friends, and he still almost took all 6 of us who caught him all the way to the ground. Its also where one of my friends almost cracked Ben Folds up totally during the opening of a take of My Philosophy that was on the live album mentioned above (he was the guy who answered the opening lines of the song with "Who the ******** are you?"). This was also the place where I watched a handful of Brown University frat boys almost get their asses jumped by a whole room full of Johnson & Wales Thrills'n'skills majors... after they pulled the whole "you're sitting in our seats" routine on someone who wore their herringbones to that night's show since they had to come straight from practicum. You know the phrase "and a hush fell over the crowd"? It was coined for just this type of moment.
