I apologize for the lack of Daily Doses recently. The Summer 2008 Preview is taking a lot longer than I thought to write because I have quite a bit to say about some of the series. I’m compiling this Daily Dose because I don’t want to fall too far behind on the news, and because I want to point people to the newest Parallel Works video.
This week’s Gurren Lagann Parallel Works belongs to artist , and it combines the instrumental track BafBaf! Sonna ni Moeru no ga…Suki Kai? with video of Viral and the others playing a Gurren Lagann themed . It’s an amusing watch, though I still like more, both in song and in accompanying video. It’s hard to beat “raw! raw! fight the power!”
The first video, which you can see at left, is out. For those of you who haven’t heard about this, various members of ’s staff are pairing music with new, alternate world animations. This first one is animator Watanabe Keisuke’s, and it combines the song Rap wa Kan no Tamashii da! with a fantasy setting. In it, Simon, Kamina, and Viral are attacking a fortress to free Nia, and they run into Yoko and the woman who was in . It’s a lot of fun to watch, and it’s rekindled my memories of how much I liked the Gurren Lagann OST (i.e. I’ve got it on my playlist now). The next one video is set to be released June 23rd.Thanks
In more Macross Frontier news, it was announced yesterday on the that there is a special short movie in store for purchasers of the first volume BD/DVD. It’s called ALL THAT VF and will feature many of the Valkyries from the series in commemoration of its 25th anniversary. The first volume is set to be released on July 25th.
The broadcast version of episode six had a good deal of recap, but all of that’s gone in the DVD version and replaced with actual story about Kamina trying to get a look at the girls naked. That sounds stupid, but it turned out to be a really funny episode.
Recent mecha anime created by GAINAX. Its meteoric rise in popularity on and is nothing short of astounding, given few Anonymous were bothered to pay attention to the show at first because of the Gainax connection and many were brushing it off as doomed to failure. Quite the contrary, Gurren-Lagann has earned the respect and admiration of many Anonymous, and like , it has reeled in interest in other shows paid homage to by the series, like Ashita no Joe, Gunbuster and Captain Harlock. It is credited for being a major source of good quality original content, moreso than any other series since . Gurren-Lagann is also famous for its ridiculously high budget, which is frequently a source of many jokes among Anonymous

Richmond — Governor Timothy M. Kaine and a host of dignitaries dedicated the Civil Rights Memorial on Capitol Square on July 21, 2008. He was joined by honorary co-chairs Nikki Giovanni, Julian Bond and Blair E. Underwood in unveiling the four-sided memorial.
Governor Kaine spoke about the importance of infrastructure investments to the strength of the economy at the Brookings Institution’s forum on the state of the nation’s infrastructure. The forum was part of Brookings’ Hamilton Project, an effort to produce research and policy to create a more prosperous and inclusive economy.
Pursuant to the authority vested in him by Article VI, Section 7 of the Constitution of Virginia, Governor Kaine intends to appoint a successor to Justice Steven Agee who has recently been confirmed to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit..

The 50-year-old Virginia governor is among a handful of logical, and much-discussed, choices to join Obama on the campaign trail. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn and Delaware Senator Joe Biden are among others frequently mentioned.
"I'm going to want somebody with independence — who's willing to tell me where he thinks, or she thinks, I'm wrong," he said. "And I'm going to want somebody who shares a vision of the country: where we need to go — that we've got to fundamentally change not only our policies, but how politics work, how business is done in Washington."

McVeigh grew up in upstate New York, the child of poor... But who really gives a damn about that? For all intents and purposes, Timothy McVeigh sprang into existence fully formed around the age of 18 as a college dropout with an unhealthy love for big guns.
McVeigh was young man faced with a tough economy, a series of dead end jobs, an inability to score with girls and a closet full of firearms. Lacking the imagination to start a dot-com and the charisma to peddle , he obviously had no choice but to pursue as a vocation. He got himself a copy of . He joined the Army, because no one teaches you how to kill people better than the U.S. government, and served in the . While in the Army, he hooked up with , who would later become his partner in terrorism.
On his release from the Army, McVeigh opted to avoid such unproductive activities as marriage, career and family in favor of getting really fucking pissed off at the U.S. government. His favorite rage-inducers included the , the and the "persecution" of and his harem of teenage wives in Waco, Texas.
McVeigh beat around the country for a while, stuffing his face with Taco Bell burritos, selling guns to his fellow maniacs, and getting more and more pissed. He stayed in Florida briefly, where he lived with his sister for a month or two. Just a few miles down the road, future agent was "coincidentally" serving up those tasty burritos McVeigh loved so much (he subsisted on them during his trial for the OKC bombing).
McVeigh was so incensed by the Waco incident that he actually drove to the compound during siege to show his support for an American's sacred Constitutional right to impregnate teenage girls, play guitar and collect . After being inexplicably turned away at the gate by federal agents, he trekked north to Michigan, where he met up with brothers Terry and James Nichols.
Sometime around this time, depending on who you want to believe, McVeigh either recruited Terry Nichols as a willing partner, bullied Nichols into going along with his crazy schemes, recruited Nichols into al Qaeda, or was recruited by Nichols into al Qaeda. Whatever the case, McVeigh and Nichols ended up with a plan to bomb the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Leonard Matthias helped lead the University of Minnesota, Morris men's track team to a third place finish at the St. John's Invitational Saturday in Collegeville, Minnesota as he tied for first in the 100 meters, placed fourth in the long jump and ran the first leg of the 400 meter relay that placed third as the Cougars tallied 57 points in their first outdoor meet of the season on a wet, dreary day.
Brett Edlund (Cyrus, MN) placed second in the 1500 meters with a time of 4:14.1, Kyle Schwartz (New Ulm, MN) was third in the 3000 meter steeple chase with a time of 10:21.2 and David Hamrum (Morris, MN) ran a personal best 11:33.9, taking 30 seconds off his previous best and placed fifth.
In the 100 meter hurdles, Brian Perrault (North Branch, MN) placed fifth with a time of 61.6 and the 1600 meter relay team of Ryan Blad (White Bear Lake, MN), Perrault, Eric Korman (Paynesville, MN) and Schwartz took fifth with a time of 3:50.9. Korman also ran a 2:13.1 in the 80 meters.

Virgin galactic

updated 2:27 p.m. ET Nov. 10, 2006SpaceVirgin Galactic details its space travel plans Exec talks about the cost of access and recruiting for a 'dreamy job'Virgin GalacticAn artist's illustration shows Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo and its mothership in flight.By Leonard DavidSenior space writerSpace.comLAS CRUCES, New Mexico - For Virgin Galactic — the passenger-carrying spaceliner company — plans are rapidly taking shape to offer suborbital space flights in the near term, and also to eventually offer point-to-point rocket travel around the globe, as well as to space hotels, and trips to the moon.While the business case for public space transportation has yet to be proven, sections of Virgin Galactic’s spaceliner already dot the factory floors at Scaled Composites in Mojave, Calif. — all under the watchful eye of aerospace designer, Burt Rutan. Rutan and his team built and flew the piloted SpaceShipOne on a trio of suborbital treks in 2004, winning the $10 million purse in the process. Now they are hard at it fulfilling the Virgin Galactic order for commuter-class spaceliners.The company’s founder, British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, partnered with Rutan last year to create . The company's goal: to build a fleet of commercial suborbital spaceships and launch aircraft.At Virgin Galactic, ticket sales for suborbital flights at $200,000 a seat are tallying up. And here in New Mexico, the design of Spaceport America is underway to handle the space-bound public traffic by 2009-2010.The business plan is for 50,000 people to visit space over a 10-year time period, explained Alex Tai, vice president, operations for Virgin Galactic. Tai is trained as a pilot in the Royal Air Force and started at Virgin as an airline pilot for Virgin Atlantic before embarking on special projects for Branson. Working on the Virgin Galactic project from its conception, Tai plans to fly the first commercial flight of the firm’s spaceship as one of the pilots. Among current tasks, he is supervising the design and construction of the new passenger-carrying SpaceShipTwo.In this exclusive interview, Space.com caught up with Tai during the 2nd International Symposium for Personal Spaceflight, held here prior to the Oct. 20-21 festivities.Maximize the experience“What this is about is some seven minutes of black sky, about four minutes of zero-gravity, and about training to become an astronaut,” Tai explained. There’s no doubt in his mind that the experience will be first-rate and a full-service package — akin to the luxurious pampering already given Virgin travelers, he noted. “You can sit somewhere in a box strapped into an ejection seat and give them zero view,” Tai said. “That’s no way to go into space. We’ll be giving them a really sexy training experience. We’re providing large windows that maximize the view…the freedom to float around in zero-gravity…to maximize the experience. I don’t think we’re in danger of under-delivery.”For the $200,000 tab, the passenger will receive an all-accommodations three-day package, hotel, training and transport to and from the spaceport site. “We’ll throw in meals and champagne,” Tai added.Tai said that he’s aware that there is still skepticism in some circles about public space travel, with detractors dismissing it as more stunt than stable business. Branson is keen, he responded, on developing a legacy and becoming the first-ever spaceliner operator and owner. Beyond high-priced seats—those early adopters of spaceliner travel that are booking and spending big time dollars—look for the cost of access to space to drop. “There will be incremental improvements to the technology,” Tai predicted. Initially, SpaceShipTwo, like its predecessor, will utilize the oomph of a hybrid rocket motor. But once the industry is underway, Virgin Galactic will look for other types of motors to plug in the back of spaceliners.“Then the seat prices will tumble,” is the forecast from Tai. Branson plans to plow back money gained from early flights into extensions of space tourism, he added.Banking on Virgin Galactic’s progress, watch for more manufacturers to pop up with other types of space vehicles. “There will be fuel to fan the invention…and the fuel is money,” Tai said.Safety in the front seatIt would be wrong to think of SpaceShipTwo as a “scaled-up” SpaceShipOne. And while both the suborbital rocket plane and the White Knight carrier mothership are both larger in size, extra margin must be built in for safety systems. Redundant and backup systems are to be employed too.Lofting six passengers and two pilots up to the edge of space means putting safety in the front seat and a rigorous testing and shakeout program of hardware is envisioned, Tai said.“From a business perspective,” Tai suggested, “I would very much like him to spend the least amount of money and do it in the shortest period of time. But that’s not the fundamental requirement. It’s producing the safest, best-performing ship. If I have to wait an extra year for that, I’ll take the pressure from everyone…to make sure that we get the best possible product.”Dreamy jobTai said by the time the first systems are delivered to Virgin Galactic, something in the range of $150 million will have been spent. Then an operational structure must be put in place. Facilities are required to handle early operations in Mojave, California and at in New Mexico. A team of exceptionally competent and skilled personnel to operate the spaceliners are also needed.“And that’s going to cost money as well. I believe we’ll spend between $225 million and $250 million” to reach that operating point, Tai said, perhaps staring in 2009 but also depending on how the testing program goes.There will be a Virgin Galactic cadre of spaceliner pilots. They are being drawn from Virgin’s network of airlines. “We pay top dollar. And that attracts some of the best pilots,” Tai said, with those selected for space travel duty picked after a meticulous training and preparation course. “We’ll ensure that we get the best possible pilots. It’ll be a dreamy job,” Tai emphasized. Passionate passengersTai speculates that hundreds of spaceships might be needed to handle passionate passengers from around the world that hunger for space travel. Beyond the New Mexico spaceport — once the case for safety and turnaround time is made with the SpaceShipTwo system — perhaps semi-permanent facilities, even local municipal airports, could handle space travel operations, Tai suggested. “It’s clearly a goal of Virgin Galactic of being a spaceline operator, not just for same-point-to-same-point space tourism,” Tai said. “We want to go point-to-point on the planet …with exceptional style and safety.”Getting cheap access to low Earth orbit, Tai continued, will be leveraged from the ability to globally hop about. “That’s where the real market is. It will be done off the back of point-to-point … not off going straight to low-Earth orbit.”With that technology in hand, it’s onward to orbital destinations, space hotel stopovers, and to the moon and beyond, Tai said. “That’s the big step, to break free of the surly bonds of Earth.”© 2007 Space.com.
