Tegami Bachi (テガミバチ Tegami Bachi?, lit. Letter Bee) is a shōnen manga written and illustrated by Hiroyuki Asada. The manga is set in "AmberGround", a fictional land illuminated by an artificial sun. The story follows Lag Seeing, a Letter Bee with the ability to see the memories of people and items, and his personal dingo Niche on their journeys across AmberGround.
The series was first serialized in the September 2006 issue of Monthly Shōnen Jump. After ten chapters, the manga was moved to the new monthly magazine Jump SQ. after the Monthly Shōnen Jump was ended by Shueisha in June 2007. Tegami Bachi was adapted into two separate anime television series, entitled Tegami Bachi and Tegami Bachi REVERSE respectively.
At the 2010 Comic-Con International, Viz Media announced that it acquired the license for Tegami Bachi in North America. The company serialized the manga in the North American Shonen Jump magazine from March 2009 to March 2010. It is currently releasing the English version of the manga in the tankōbon format, with 19 volumes released as of June 2016. Both seasons of the anime have been licensed by Sentai Filmworks.[2][3]
It was confirmed in April 2015 that the 20th volume would be the last, with the Japanese manga releasing Winter 2015.[4]
The story takes place in AmberGround, a land of perpetual night only partly illuminated by an artificial sun. Lag Seeing is a newly minted delivery boy, called a "Letter Bee", who worked at the Bee Hive delivery service with his Dingo, Niche, and her "pet", Steak, travelling with him. As a Letter Bee, Lag's job is to deliver letters and packages from town to town while avoiding AmberGround's deadliest hazard—Gaichuu, giant armoured insects who attempt to feed off the "heart" that reside within these letters and packages.
When Lag was very young, his mother was kidnapped by men from AmberGround's capital of Akatsuki. He was sent as a "delivery" to his aunt thanks to Gauche Suede, who Lag started to idolize and was inspired to become a Letter Bee. But as Lag becomes a Letter Bee, he is informed that Gauche has disappeared; at the same time, a resistance movement called "Reverse" begins stealing letters from travelling Bees.
Lag later encounters Gauche, who appears to have no memory of his past, and is now devoted to Reverse's cause. In desperation, Lag vainly tries to make Gauche remember. At the same time, Gauche awakens a giant flying Gaichuu that is headed for the town Yuusari, the location of the Bee Hive; and later Akatsuki to destroy AmberGround's man-made sun.
- Lag Seeing (ラグ・シーイング Ragu Shīingu?)
- Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro
- The main protagonist in Tegami Bachi. He is a 12-year-old boy with a very focused mindset, regardless of what situations he gets into and always focuses on delivering the package. He was also born on the day of the Flicker. He's very emotional and is nearly constantly crying. He has a special gun called the Shindanjuu, literally the "heart bullet gun" where he loads a "fragment of heart" into the gun, then fires Akabari (Red Needle) at the target. He is seemingly being able to control the direction of the shot. His spirit amber visualizes memories of an animated object. As a child, he was "delivered" by the letter bee Gauche Suede, and was inspired by him to become a letter bee. He is searching for his mother, who was kidnapped to the capital of the country. His left eye is made of red spirit amber, allowing him to better use the Shindanjuu and also allowing him to fire a heart bullet from his own body. He originally has an antique from Campbell, though he receives the Nocturne #20, Gauche's gun. In chapter 29, after Sunny lost her heart to a Gaichuu, Lag's body glowed like spirit amber as he fired a special letter bullet at Noir (Gauche) in hopes of restoring his heart. His name is derived from "lagrima", a Spanish word for "tears", "rag", "Lú"/"Lugh", the name of the Celtic god of the sun of the Danann family, and "seeing", the measure of sight.
- His "Dingo" is Niche, a girl he saved from a Gaichuu (armored insect) who decided to stay at his side when he said yes to her asking him if saying goodbye would make him sad after seeing his memories via the Shindanjuu.
- Niche (ニッチ Nitchi?)
- Voiced by: Ayumi Fujimura
- Lag's personal Girl Without a Smile. She travels with Lag, acting as his bodyguard against Gaichuu, and sticks closely to Lag along with her "pet", "Steak", on her head. She battles using her hair, also known as "The Golden Sword", manipulating it into powerful blade-like tentacles capable of lifting things several times her size. She has bearlike forearms and claws which she usually keeps covered with oven mitt-like gloves. Niche displays animal-like characteristics, such as licking wounds and sniffing the air for any trace of danger. She dislikes wearing underwear, but wears them for Lag's sake, claiming that he is the first person to ever make her wear underwear. Lag assumes that she is 7 years old based on her appearance but it was later revealed that she was born approximately 200 years ago in the town of Blue Notes Blues (永久氷河 Eikyūhyōga?, lit. Permanent Glacier). Later on in Blue Notes Scale (氷河湖路 Hyōgakomichi?, lit. Glacier Lake Road), a cave by Blue Notes Blues, Niche finds out that she has a twin sister with the same power as her and that she was the child of Maka. The sister refers to Niche as "imouto" (younger sister). Her name is derived from "niche", a crevice or narrow space to put flowers as an offering to the Holy Mother.
- Lag found Niche at a train station on his way to his Bee Interview. She was a "letter", but the address on her mailing label was incomplete and she was scheduled to be "abandoned" in two more days. Lag offered to take her to her new home ("Rabu Samuwan Daun (ラブ・サム・ワン・ダウン Rabu Samu Wan Daun?, lit. Love Someone Down, translated as Lovesome Downs in the Viz Media Manga)" according to the mailing label in the local writing, which he thought was an orphanage) even though he was on a deadline for his Bee job interview. While traveling, Lag found she had multiple names, so he named her Niche after where he found her - in a niche at the station.
- After delivering Niche, Lag found out she was to be put in a side show act as "The Child of Maka" (摩訶の子 Maka no Ko?, lit. Child of Greatness), Maka being a mysterious being both worshipped and feared in AmberGround's Northern territories. Lag hurried back to Love Someone Down with the excuse that Niche's delivery receipt had not been signed. When he got there he found that Niche had already wrecked the sideshow tent with her "Golden Sword" and gone on the run towards Gaichuu territory. He followed her and consequently saved her from a Gaichuu. She decided to stay with Lag after he explained that her address had become unknown (since she had destroyed the mailing label), and she insisted that from then on she would be Lag's "Dingo".
- Gauche Suede/Noir (ゴーシュ・スエード/ノワール Gōshu Suēdo/Nowāru, romanised as Goos Suede in Japanese media?)
- Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama
- Lag's rescuer, who first appears in chapter 1. He is the letter bee that finds young Lag Seeing marked as a letter in "Cosa Bell", a small town in the "Yodaka District" (The low class district in Amberground). He has to deliver to "Campbell Litus" a town also in the "Yodaka District" so he can join his aunt who was trusted to take care of him from the person who wrote Lag's letter data. Gauche is also a caring and enthusiastic letter bee, he is trying to become the "Head Bee" (Captain of the letter bees) so he has enough money to help his sister and live peacefully. In Chapter 7 it is revealed that Gauche is no longer a Letter Bee. Gauche later appears before Lag and steals the letter he is delivering. He refers to himself as a Marauder known as Noir (meaning "Black/Dark" in french) and appears to have no memories of Lag or being a Bee, possibly having lost that part of his heart. His personality greatly differs from the time he was Gauche: as Noir, he is usually expressionless, although it is shown that he deeply cares for Roda and will do everything to protect her. Later on, a Marauder is explained to be a "Plunderer" who takes on the job of theft. Marauders mainly target Letter Bees to keep them from delivering their letters. His name is derived from Gauche the Cellist. In chapter 30, Lag fires a letter bullet through Gauche in hopes to bring back Gauche's memories, which leaves him comatose til chapter 38. Later, it is revealed that this partially failed, as it only gives Gauche the memories Lag had of him, rather than restoring his own.
- It is revealed in Chapter 10 by Aria Link that Gauche's sister Sylvette was born on the Day of Flicker. He'd gone to the Hill of Prayer to pray for his mother and sister when Sylvette was born. The Day of Flicker (romanised as "The day of blink" in Japanese media) was the day when the government went out for an investigation and a modification of the manmade sun. His mother died after Sylvette was born. Subconsciously, Aria says that to fill the void in his heart left by the missing shards of his memories of his mother, he started focusing all his attention on making Sylvette happy.
- Gauche's Spirit Amber attack is called Kurobari (Black Needle). During his time as a Letter Bee he owned the Nocturne #20, but his current Shindanjuu is Gymnopédie that uses the attack Raven Black.
- Sylvette Suede (シルベット・スエード Shirubetto Suēdo, romanised as Silvet Suede in Japanese media?)
- Voiced by: Nana Mizuki
- Gauche's younger, paraplegic sister. Born on the Day of Flicker, like Lag. Her brother left her to go to Akatsuki, and eventually disappeared. When she would meet Lag, years later, she had claimed to have given up on Gauche being alive. She later learns he is alive, and Lag promises to find him. After the encounter with Noir outside Honey Waters, when Lag returns home, Sylvette throws him a party because he had found Gauche, as promised. She rents Gauche's room to Lag, Niche, and Steak, and she makes Dolls to cover the rent and expenses. Lag thinks her soup is as terrible as "The Three Brothers' Soup" Gauche had brought with him on his journey; Zazie sympathizes with him on this.
- Roda (ロダ Roda, romanised as Lode in Japanese media?) (dog)
- Gauche's "Dingo". She is a skillful dog that seems to be very well trained for fighting and tracking situations. She appears to be a skilled hunter as well.
- Roda (ロダ Roda, romanised as Lode in Japanese media?) (human)
- Voiced by: Yui Horie
- A child that was given to Gauche as an assistant from the leader of Reverse. Gauche subconsciously named her after his former Dingo.
She is also from Reverse for she was an experiment and many species/creatures were mixed with her but the experiment failed, thus throwing her out, then found by Lawrence. She told Lag about this and said that maybe one of the creatures mixed in her is the former dingo of Gauche/Noir.
- Steak (ステーキ Sutēki?)
- Voiced by: Naomi Nagasawa
- Steak is Niche's live bait and emergency food supply. He followed her from the LOVE SOMEONE DOWN's sideshow after she destroyed it. He is usually seen traveling on her head, very rarely moving from his perch even while she is battling Gaichuu. He has the ability to sniff out the weak spots of Gaichuu, allowing Lag to fire his Shindanjuu at the weak spot, killing the armored insect. Steak is also known to bite people on the head, his whole body represents that of a mouth.
- Niche has remarked that Steak would taste delicious (hence his name). Steak seems to have accepted his fate as a future meal and appears to have meekly submitted to Niche's (interrupted) attempts to cook him. But in all the attempts to cook him, he only got his hair done.
- Steak may be the last of the Kapellmeister, a species that once co-existed harmoniously with the Spirit Insects, and was thought to be extinct.
- Connor Kluff (コナー・クルフ Konā Kurufu, romanised as Connor Culh in Japanese media?)
- Voiced by: Hisayoshi Suganuma
- A young Letter Bee who was first seen in chapter 2, escorting Lag to his Bee job interview. Connor made regular deliveries to Campbell Litus as Lag was growing up, and seems to be popular with the townspeople. He has a hearty appetite and a stocky build, and tires easily. His Dingo is a hound dog named Gus (ガス Gasu, romanised as Gas in Japanese media?), who is skilled at tunneling. He fell in love with Sunny, a young girl from an abbey in Lamento Town, not knowing she and all in her abbey were members of Reverse. When she, along with all other members of her abbey, lost her heart to the massive Cabernet Gaichuu, lost control and furiously tried to attack the Gaichuu, but eventually ran out of heart and passed out. As of the latest chapter, he remains in Lamento Town with the comatose Sunny, still believing she will regain her heart one day.Later in the series it is revealed that Sunny didn't lose all her heart and becomes Connor's girlfriend
- Connor's Spirit Amber attack is called "Heart Landmine", or 'Kibaku', Yellow Bomb, which he executes by setting shards of his "Appetite" on the ground and igniting them under the Gaichuu.
- Largo Lloyd (ラルゴ・ロイド Rarugo Roido?)
- Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi
- The Master of the "Bee Hive". Largo tends to have a more invested interest in Lag and his deliveries, though the reason for this is unknown. He later joins Reverse revolutionary group, having been a test subject just they have been. Unlike the Man Who Couldn't Become a Spirit, Largo has a better plan for overthrowing the government.
- Aria Link (アリア・リンク Aria Rinku, romanised as Aria Rink in Japanese media?)
- Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu
- The Sub Master of the "Bee Hive". Aria acts as Largo's right hand, taking care of the minor things for him. She was earlier introduced in the series in Gauche's memories as a letter bee and Gauche's love interest.
- Aria's Spirit Amber ability is the Heart Restoration Bullet, which she executes by playing music on her violin. The music has a healing effect on everyone who hears it. The closer one stands to her while she is playing, the stronger the healing effects.
- Aria's Spirit Amber attack is called "Benihiiro no Senritsu" (Crimson Melody), which is ejected from her violin.
- Sabrina Mary (サブリナ・メリー Saburina Merī, romanised as Sabrina Merry in Japanese media?)
- Lag's aunt who lives in "Campbell Litus" and was trusted with Lag's care since he was delivered to her at the age of 7 by "Gauche Suede" the letter bee. When Lag learns about his origins as a fragment of heart, Sabrina is revealed to be his real aunt, but a good friend of his mother, the current Empress.
- Dr. Thunderland Jr.
- Voiced by: Hideo Ishikawa
- A biologist who belongs to the Third Bioscience advisory panel of Amberground division. He specializes in pathology and collects corpses for dissection and study, earning him the nickname "The Corpse Doctor." He has a morbid interest in dissection. Nonetheless he has a kind heart, and makes a star-shaped memorial for each corpse he dissects. Zazie hated him at one point, because he thought Thunderland had taken a group of street kittens Zazie liked, however, it was shown he only quarantined them.
- Dr. Thunderland Jr. is also one of the five survivors of the airship that crashed on the Day of Flicker due to the blindness of the light going out.
- Zazie Winters (ザジ Zaji?)
- Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio
- Zazie is a young Letter Bee who was introduced in chapter seven. He is very skilled at killing Gaichuu. Zazie's parents were killed by Gaichuu when he was young, leading him to become a Letter Bee so that he could seek revenge against all Gaichuu. Because he is so focused on killing Gaichuu, delivering Letters is of course of little interest to Zazie. Zazie is very fond of cats. At one point, he was mad at Dr. Thunderland because he thought that the Doctor killed an alley cat he was feeding. However, when he found that Dr. Thunderland quarantined the cat because of a disease, Zazie forgave him.
- Zazie is also quite fond of Jiggy Pepper, and looks up to him as, in a sense, 'his idol.' A minor reference to that is at the end of Chapter 20, when Lag is telling Zazie (and Conner, who happen to be at Sylvette's) about what had happened, and Zazie yelling in disbelief that he really rode Jiggy's Bike. He then goes on to questioning every detail, with a hint of jealousy in the comic panel that it's explained in. There's also been a four-strip comic in which Zazie questions Jiggy's pay, and finds that he plans to be a express delieverer like Jiggy. Lastly, in chapter 43, Zazie wakes to find himself on Jiggy's bike, and, while combating the Cabernet Gaichuu, he claims that he'd 'rather die' than back down when Jiggy speaks of the risks.
- Zazie's Spirit Amber attack is called Aotoge (Blue Thorn), which uses shards of his "Malice" instead of his heart.
- Wasiolka (ヴァシュカ Vashuka?)
- Zazie's Dingo, which takes the form of a black panther. It has stuck with Zazie since it was a kitten, being fond of its owner.
- Jiggy Pepper (ジギー・ペッパー Jigī Peppā?)
- Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai
- A semi-recurring Bee, whose Shindanjuu is his motorcycle. He was first mentioned in chapter three by his adopted sister, Nelli. Nelli hated him because she blamed the death of her brother Nello on his leaving them. When Lag shot off a heart bullet at Nello's letter, it was revealed he wanted to get stronger for Nelli. Jiggy later appeared saving Lag from a giant Gaichuu that had trapped him in a trance. He said he had received a letter from his sister Nelli, telling him about Lag's efforts, and thanked him, before departing. He later appears due to a request from Largo and says that he follows who he wants to follow and no one else. Largo then gives him a wounded Zazie to take care of and they leave pursuing the Gaichuu heading towards the capital. Zazie worships him as a hero. His Dingo is a hawk named Harry.
- Jiggy's spirit amber is Gunjou, Sea Blue Ultramarine, which he executes through a Shindanjuu he carries besides his motorcycle.
- Anne Seeing
Lag's mother. She was kidnapped to the capital of the AmberGround, Akatsuki at the start of this manga. She is later revealed to have been from the royal bloodline, and is now part of the machine continuing to keep the man-made sun lit. During the Day of Flicker, a fragment of heart hit her, causing an accelerated pregnancy within minutes. What was born was a boy being of pure heart; to keep him from fading, Anne had Sabrina Mary place a Spirit Amber in his eye socket. This gave the boy human form, and Anne named him Lag.
- Lawrence (ローレンス Rōrensu?)
He is the leader of the Reverse society to plunder the letters that Letter Bees delivered. He, while Gauche no longer remembers his past, gives him name as Noir, the Marauder.

- Letter Bee (テガミバチ Tegamibachi?): A delivery person who is entrusted with shards of the population's "hearts" in their letters, which they have to deliver despite the threat of armored insects.
- Dingo (相棒 Dingo?, lit. "Partner"): A bodyguard who is picked and trained by a Bee to protect them from armored insects. A dingo can be anything from a dog to a human.
- Bee Hive (BEE-HIVE Yūbinkan Hachi no Su?, lit. Mail House Beehive): The headquarters of the delivery service where all the "Bees" work. Located in Yuusari, the middle-class area of AmberGround.
- Gaichuu (鎧虫 Gaichū?, lit. "armored insect"): Giant insects covered in jeweled armor, said to be spirit insects that lost their hearts. They live in the dark lands outside of the artificial sunlight and attack anyone who travels along the darkened paths. Each Gaichuu that has appeared thus far in the manga is named after an alcoholic beverage.
- Shindan (心弾 lit. "Heart Bullet"?): The "fragments of heart" used when firing the "heart bullet gun." Overdoing this will cause the user to lose all memory of their identity and become a "blank slate"; Guache became "Noir" as a result of this, but retained subconscious memories of his sister and Lag.
- Shindanjuu (心弾銃 Shindanjū?, lit. "Heart Bullet Gun"): The weapon Lag uses to combat armored insects. He first loads a "fragment of heart" into the gun, then fires it at the target, seemingly being able to control the shot's direction.
- Spirit Amber (精霊琥珀 Seirei Kohaku?): A powerful amber stone that has the power to allow its user to shoot a heart bullet from its heart bullet gun. It comes in a wide range of colors that each have different abilities. It contains this power because of the spirit insects trapped inside it.
- Spirit Insects (精霊虫 Seireichū?): Extinct insects from ancient times, they have all either become Gaichuu or imprisoned in Spirit Amber.
- Reverse (リバース Ribāsu?): A group trying to cause a "Reverse" (再生 Ribāsu?) of AmberGround. It is led by a man known as the "Person who was not able to become a Spirit."
- Marauders (略奪者 Ryakudatsusha?): Agents of the group "Reverse" who steal letters from Bees.
- Letter Bullet (手紙弾 Tegamidan?): A bullet used to convey one's heart to another person. A small letter is written and placed within the bullet, with an address to a specific person on whom the bullet will only work. The bullet also stores more "heart" than a normal heart bullet. This is also a physical cartridge with a red liquid within it.
- Picture Letter (絵テガミ E-Tegami?): A letter written with heart, but that consists of solely an image. Such a letter conveys hopes and feelings of nostalgia, and has a strong message (sometimes) for the receiver of the letter.
The first ten chapters of Tegami Bachi were originally serialized in the now-defunct Monthly Shōnen Jump. A special un-numbered chapter was published as a one-shot in Weekly Shōnen Jump prior to the launch of Jump Square, where Tegami Bachi is now serialized.
Viz Media announced that it had licensed Tegami Bachi for an English-language adaption in North America at the Comic-Con International on February 28, 2010.[5] It was announced that Tegami Bachi, otherwise known as Letter Bee in English translations, will be serialized in the monthly manga anthology Shonen Jump, where it replaced the manga series Slam Dunk.[5] It debuted in the March 2009 issue of the magazine.[5] Serialization ended after the March 2010 issue, while the volumes have since continued to be released. Additionally, in Australia and New Zealand, another English version of Letter Bee was released by Madman Entertainment.
Tegami Bachi was also translated into Traditional Chinese and published in Taiwan by Ever Glory Publishing and in Hong Kong by Jade Dynasty, where it is known by the name (Chinese: 信蜂; pinyin: Xìn Fēng). It was also translated into Simplified Chinese and released in Singapore under the name of (Chinese: 傳信蜂; pinyin: Chuán xìn fēng) by publisher Chuang Yi.[6] In Europe, the series is licensed and translated into Italian in Italy by Panini Comics under their Planet Manga division. Kana also released the French version of Letter Bee in France.[7] The Spanish version of Letter Bee was released in Spain by Planeta DeAgostini Comics. Tokyopop has so far released 16 volumes under the name Letter Bee in German.[8]
Drama CD[edit]
On February 16, 2009 a Drama CD was released of the Jiggy Pepper arc. It was named "Drama CD Tegamibachi" and has the ISBN 978-4-08-901167-6.
A special anime adaptation, running for about 30 minutes, was shown during the Jump Super Anime Tour events in Japan in the fall of 2008.[9] It was titled Tegami Bachi: Hikari to Ao no Gensō Yawa (テガミバチ 〜光と青の幻想夜話〜?, Letter Bee: Light and Blue Night Fantasy), and was animated by Studio Pierrot. The Original Video Animation was translated for free by Anthony Carl Kimm on the Jumpland website with English subtitles.[9] It was later released on DVD in the beginning of 2009.
In the June 2009 issue of the Jump SQ magazine, it was announced that Tegami Bachi will get an anime series in the fall of 2009.[10] This anime series is directed by Akira Iwanaga, and it features the same voice cast which had voiced characters in the previous 2008 special anime.[11] This anime started airing in Japan on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi and other affiliated television networks around Japan on October 3, 2009,[12] and it ended on March 27, 2010. The first opening theme song for this anime was revealed to be the song Hajimari no Hi (はじまりの日?), which is sung by Suga Shikao and features Mummy-D, on September 7, 2009.[12] This theme song was replaced by the song Love Letter no kawari ni kono Uta wo (ラブレターのかわりにこの詩を。 Lit. Rather than a Love Letter, Choose This Poem?), which is sung by singer Seira, in episode 14 of the anime onwards.[13] In 2013, Animax Asia re-aired Tegami Bachi in English, under the title Letter Bee.[1]
A second season of the anime, called Tegami Bachi REVERSE was announced in the Puff magazine in Japan during an interview with the artist.[14] This season of the anime retained its previous voice cast, and is also directed by Akira Iwanaga.[15] The second season of the anime premiered on October 1, 2010.[14]
Deb Aoki of About.com reviewed Tegami Bachi Volume 1.[16] Aoki said that the series "has the right stuff to appeal to both male and female readers: thrilling action, a magical world full of mysteries, likeable characters that are worth caring about, and lovely artwork, all done with a touch of light-hearted humor."[16]
In Japan, volume 2 of the manga debuted at the 6th position during the first week of its release.[17]
Carlo Santos of Anime News Network reviewed the first 6 episodes of Tegami Bachi.[18] He commented that the series "may be one of the last few adventure series that is genuinely about adventure" and "an adventure with a unique vibe".[18] Santos went on to say how the series as a whole isn't like typical adventure series, which deal with "the triumphs and tragedies of having the best sword", as it is built on "the triumphs and tragedies of the human heart".[18] A negative point he said was about the animation - describing the Gaichuu as "plastic-looking CGI beasts looking woefully out of place among the scenery".[18] However, Santos complimented the series' art direction by saying that "the artistry is far more commendable: the blend of feudal and industrial eras results in a unique visual aesthetic".[18] Overall, Santos gave a positive review of the first 6 episodes of Tegami Bachi with an overall grade of B-.[18]

USPlabs Recreate VS OxyElite pro powder.
Hi AnabolicJuich. Both are solid products for fat loss. I've never used Recreate but if you can find it, the reviews I've read are very positive. OxyElite Pro Powder is a phenomenal product that I just finished using for my contest prep. I noticed very smooth energy when dosing before fasted cardio along with a great thermo effect. The combo of OxyElite Pro Powder and VERSA-1 have had good reviews as well. Here is a link to the ripped and strong stack
Please let us know what you decide on and if we can be of anymore help bud.Independent - 05-19-2013, 06:58 PM
Hey bro apriciate replie.
and using Versa-1 at the moment stacked with nothing . gotta hate stims break ...
and i thougt about getting Recreate , Test Powder , Compound 20, and Forskolin 95%. how's dat looking for summer prep stack? .
my big brother Using Alphamine,Dpol, and Nolavdren XT and had some insane results.
but i'm 19 yo, so i keep it simple at the moment .
by the way have you tried Compound 20? if yeah tell me what you were getting from it. - 05-19-2013, 07:10 PM
Hey bud. Good job taking a stim break. As much as it sucks to do it is very important to do so. How are you liking VERSA-1 this far? Are you planning on running another bottle for a total of 8 weeks?
I like your idea of keeping things simple :-). At your age your hormone levels are more than likely high enough. All the products you mention have good reviews but to keep it simple I say for fat burning purposes lets do this.
Following your current VERSA-1 you can add the following
Another VERSA-1
Forskolin 95 (run this 12 weeks)
OxyElite Pro Powder 4-8 weeks
This accompanied with a solid nutrition and training program should help produce great results.Independent

despicable, shameful barbarism and christians who cosign, i condemn them as well "you deserve rape" psycho should be jumped. Some of these pastors are too much, just some evil cats. always gotta be vigilant. Faith Healing, they're doing it wrong and its harmful And that last story, that church deserves to get their pants sued off, there is a time and place for preaching and the public school is not it
"Preach ye in the Gates and the places of Concourse" - Holy Bible. You got a lot to learn Pilgrim. @IAmBenT
Bro.. Romans 13 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves and before you bring it to me, I also am aware of Acts 5:27-29. But i don't see how separation of church and state stops anyone from preaching the Word of God, even if public pimping of the church in such a blatant fashion as shown in the video is wrongheaded, you can still hold strong to your beliefs and help people see the light in places such as public schools if you do it in a respectful and meaningful way. To sit up and force kids to listen to that stuff, regardless of their rights and beliefs? Its illegal and wrong.

BSF women closer to creating history
First batch to guard international borders
As they thumped their feet into the ground for the final parade as trainees, they all knew that they are just a step away from their destinationof being the first batch of women to be guarding Indias international borders.
With their 36-week hard training behind them, the new BSF women recruits will now get specialised tips on advanced combat for two weeks before they take up their assignment along the 553-km-long fenced India-Pakistan border in Punjab.
The recruits will be the first batch of women to be deployed along the international border. Their non-combat role will include security at the fenced border gates, frisking of women going across the fence and facilitating spectators at the retreat ceremony on the Attari-Wagah border near Amritsar.
Home Minister P Chidambaram specially flew in here early on Saturday morning to take the salute of the new recruits of the BSF.
Important role
"It is a great privilege to be here. There are many constables in the country but no one can take away from you the special pride as you are the first batch of women constables in the BSF. You all have an important role to play," Chidambaram told the women recruits.
While a majority of the new women recruits are from Punjab, those passing out on Saturday included young women from West Bengal and Assam also. Most recruits are in the 18 to 22 age group. Among them, 14 are post-graduates, 22 graduates and 128 studied up to Class 12. The recruits include 25 sportswomen and 11 National Cadet Corps volunteers.
"The training here was a physical and mental test for all of us. Now we are ready to serve our country. The BSF has given us a chance to come out of our villages and do something," Rajwant Kaur, who comes from a village in Punjab's frontier district of Gurdaspur, said.
BSF Director-General M L Kumawat said: "It is a matter of pride that the BSF has thrown open its door for women." The BSF was last year sanctioned nearly 700 posts for recruiting women constables for guarding international borders. Nearly 8,500 applications were received for these posts.

Coming of Age
Young John Grady Cole is only sixteen years of age when he leaves the only home he has ever known. All the Pretty Horses is the tale of this young man's coming of age. As a young man enters adulthood, there are moments when a parent might question the sanity of having had a child and other moments when that same parent experiences the thrill of victory as the child succeeds. A teenager's first kiss, first love, the thrill of victory in competitive sports, the bonding of lifetime friends, and even a high school graduation are the moments most remembered, as adulthood approaches. For Cole, little of this is experienced in the comfort of familiar surroundings or with the support of family. There will be no high school graduation for Cole. He leaves school behind when he sets out accompanied by his closest friend, Lacey Rawlins...

Scapegoating + Bad Math = Devastation for Federally Protected Sea Lions at the Bonneville Dam
Article by guest columnist and activist Sandy McElhaney
File photoThe concept of scapegoating has been around since the times of the Ancient Greeks. They used the term "pharmakos" to describe a person (often a beggar or criminal) who was cast out of the community following a natural disaster. In some accounts, the pharmakos was stoned or beaten. In others, he was executed and the ashes were spread to the ocean.

Weekend Box Office Wrap Up: Jan 13 2013
- By
- 7 Comments
January is a month where the number 1 spot is like a revolving door, and that still holds true, but this week's box office does not feature either of the two new releases in the top spot.
Instead, it's Kathryn Bigelow's critically acclaimed Zero Dark Thirty (read our review) that comes in at number 1 with $24 million. For the past few weeks, the film had been biding its time in limited release – posting massive per-screen averages in the process – and now that it has gone wide we can plainly see just how highly anticipated this Oscar and Golden Globe contender was.
For Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty also marks her biggest opening weekend (in terms of a film going wide), likely a byproduct of her success with the 2009 film The Hurt Locker. Including the revenue earned in limited release, Zero Dark Thirty is now up to $29 million in domestic grosses.
At number 2 is the comedy A Haunted House (read our review) with $18 million. Spoofing a wide variety of films in the found footage sub-genre, as well as broader specter-based comedies, A Haunted House could have been a spiritual successor to Scary Movie, but it ultimately fell flat, at least with critics.
Audiences, however, were interested enough to help the film secure a decent opening for an R-rated comedy in January. And when a movie like this boasts a production budget of $2.5 million, any domestic revenue earned is literally money in the bank.
Right behind A Haunted House is the other new release of the weekend, Gangster Squad, with $16 million. Boasting everything from fedoras to shootouts to Ryan Gosling, the film had a lot going for it, but apparently that wasn't enough.
Warner Bros. willingness to delay the film into January – in order to replace a scene that bared an eerie resemblance to the events in Aurora late last year – suggested the studio didn't have high hopes for the film, and a third place opening hints audiences didn't either. For a film with a lot of star power behind it, we certainly expected a bigger opening.
Coming in at number 4 is Django Unchained with $11 million, which puts its domestic total at $125 million. More importantly that tally makes this Quentin Tarantino's highest grossing movie yet, eclipsing the previous title-holder Inglourious Basterds.
Rounding out the top 5 is the musical Les Misérables with $10 million. The film is now up $119 million in domestic revenue and ranks number 5 all time for musicals in the box office behind Enchanted (which isn't necessarily a musical), Mamma Mia!, Chicago, and Grease.
Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the number 6 film this weekend with $9 million. With a domestic total of $278 million thus far, this first film in a forthcoming trilogy is now in the top 50 for both domestic and worldwide grosses all time.
At number 7 is Lincoln with $6.3 million, which brings its domestic total up to $152 million. Fun fact: Lincoln is the third highest grossing film that features a President as a main character, behind only Air Force One ($172 million) and Independence Day ($306 million). So by that barometer, one could say that Lincoln is the highest grossing film featuring a real life President.
Right behind Lincoln is the family comedy Parental Guidance with $6.1 million, which helps the film just barely cross the $60 million mark and proves that Billy Crystal and Bette Midler can still generate some box office.
Falling all the way from number 1 to number 9 this weekend is Texas Chainsaw 3D with $5.1 million. The good news is that the film's $30 million domestic total thus far puts it slightly above the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (released way back in 1974), but the bad news is it'll likely be off the top 10 next weekend.
And Silver Linings Playbook comes in at number 10 with an even $5 million. David O'Russell's surprisingly funny portrait of mental illness still has yet to officially go wide (if it ever will), but has amassed $41 million regardless.

Time Machine
this wiki
A time machine is a device that allows the user or users to go forward or backwards through time and space.
A time machine is first used in "Mind Over Murder" when Stewie Griffin originally creates it to avoid teething but ends up going back when people copy his plans, which erases the events of the episode.
A cutaway in "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'" features Peter's cousin Rufus Griffin, who starred in the blaxploitation film Black to the Future driving the Delorean time machine from Back to the Future.
In "The Courtship of Stewie's Father", Stewie sets up a cutaway parodying Doc Brown at the end of the first film in the flying Delorean time machine telling Marty and Jennifer that they have to come to the future to fix their kids' situation.
In "Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure", the third segment of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, Stu Griffin, who is Stewie at 30 years old, uses a time machine in the form of a wristwatch to go on his vacations.
Peter drives the Delorean time machine in "The Perfect Castaway".
In "Road to Germany", Mort Goldman mistakes Stewie's new walk-in time machine for a bathroom stall. He lands in Poland on September 1, 1939, the beginning of World War II. When Stewie and Brian realize this, they go in to rescue him. This model is uranium powered.
In "The Big Bang Theory" Bertram used the time machine to try and kill Leonardo da Vinci, Stewie's ancestor in order to remove Stewie from the universe. However this in turn would have destroyed the universe so Stewie and Brian go back to prevent him from succeeding.
The time machine reappears in "Back to the Pilot" when Brian and Stewie travel back in time to the pilot episode of Family Guy.
Chris, Meg and Peter watch "The first time-travel movie with a perfectly functioning time machine" in "The Blind Side".
In the "Point of Stew" segment of "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 2", Stewie uses the time machine to travel to April 5th, 1994 to stop Kurt Cobain from killing himself by convincing him to eat lots of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. In the present, Kurt is still alive but is morbidly obese.
In "Internal Affairs", Peter and Ernie The Giant Chicken fight their way onto Stewie's time pad and end up colliding with Marty McFly and the Delorean time machine in 1885 in Back to the Future Part III.
In "Yug Ylimaf", Brian uses Stewie's time machine without Stewie's permission to pick up women. To try to avoid getting caught, he attempts to reset the chronological gauge on the machine, but this ends up destroying the machine and reversing the flow of time.
Sick of close calls when they alter the past and are almost killed by Native Americans in "Life of Brian", Stewie destroys his time machine but is unable to rebuild it when he is unable to get parts after Brian is killed by a car. Later in "Christmas Guy", he spots himself buying a toy at the Quahog Mall and "borrows" the time machine return pad from his past self, going back in time to warn Brian and avoid his death.
Fed up with his family, Stewie builds an updated version of his time machine in "Chap Stewie" to change his conception to that of an upper-crust British family. But when he realizes he misses his old life, he sneaks into the University of Oxford and builds a rudimentary time machine that enables him to undo his original damage.
Stewie and Brian take Chris on a tour of history in the machine in "Stewie, Chris & Brian's Excellent Adventure" where Chris reveals that Brian had already told him about the machine while taking credit for it. When Chris becomes angry at being called a moron, he steals the return pad and boards the TITANIC, leaving Stewie and Brian to pursue him to recover it and get them off the ship. The pad becomes damaged, but Stewie is able to repair it once they manage to force their way onto a lifeboat.

Sarah Beeny's walk for health
Property guru wants to raise cash for cancer
But having lost her mother at the age of 10 – when her mum was just 39 – Sarah also finds time to lend her support to charity.
Which is why she has just announced the beginning of this year's Crocus Walk, a campaign that will run through March to raise funds for breast cancer research and which Sarah will be joining.
"Holding a Crocus Walk is a great excuse to get together with your loved ones while making a real difference for Breakthrough Breast Cancer," Sarah says.
The aim of the campaign is to get people organising walks - whether it's a stroll in the park or a hike in the hills - with their friends, family, colleagues or entire community and to use the opportunity to raise funds for the charity.
Many supporters dedicate their Crocus Walks to loved ones affected by breast cancer, although, as Sarah says: "My Crocus Walk is an opportunity for me to spend quality time with my family and friends out and about in the fresh spring air."
And, of course, it's well-known that regular exercise helps fight cancer in general as well.
There's plenty of time to organise a Crocus Walk for the charity in March and you'll be given ideas, tips and advice at www.crocuswalk.org.uk or on 0845 059 7707.

Getting ready for the time I'll have my new iMac sitting on my desk, I planned to keep the bulk of my work files on a 500Gb USB 3 Toshiba on sale at BestBuy. ($35), The drive is formatted for Windows. My present mac is a G4, running OS 10.5. The new ext. HD is powered through the bus, so I plugged into one of my USB 2 ports. The power light on the drive came on. But when I try to drag and drop folder so these files (all Jpegs and RAW photo images), I get an error message saying 'File Names Are Too Long". They won't write to the drive. The drive was reformatted to Hfs w/ Journaling. What could be wrong? (can't use Migration Assistant without Firewire Cabling)
Problem solved. My initial tries at formatting were with the Ext HD plugged into my G4 mac. I employed Disk Utility, and tried both the ERASE function and FIRST AID. Neither worked. Bear in mind that the HD cable is USB 3, while the ports on my old Mac are USB 1 & 2. No luck. So I next attached the drive thru the USB 3 port on my wife's brand new MBP running OS 10.7. That made a difference. Bear in mind that on both computers an orange disk icon appeared for after formatting. I then did a drag-and-drop of two DVD's I had burned with the 7Gb of photo files in two separate folders. That wasn't as speedy as I expected. Probably due to the clunky read speed of the superdrive.

We have just had a long weekend in the Quantocks to celebrate a mates 50th birthday & I must give a big thanks to Sharki for his help & advise & especially the route he planned on GPS for us to do on the Saturday, it was superb. We accidentally added a couple of downhill sections down the sides of the combes when the gps was a bit unclear, but that just added to the fun :D.
I have to mention the Hood Arms at Kilve where we stayed, the staff & locals were all friendly & the food was very good, it made a great base to ride from. All in all a brilliant weekend away.
Sharki I hope you recover well from your injury & I still find it hard to believe you ride around there on a singlespeed, I could have done with a couple of extra gears on a few occasions.
We will be back.

Big thanks to Sharki

I spent some time on Sunday hand stitching new bottoms on a couple pair of polar fleece socks. These are the only socks that really keep my feet warm during cold weather. Despite the fact that I knit, and that I've enjoyed knitting socks, I do not like to wear handknit socks ~ they bother the bottoms of my feet regardless of how finely they're knit, and animal hair (wool, cashmere, alpaca et al) inevitably itches.
It's well known at this point that polar fleece is made from recycled soda bottles. I like supporting that, a lot. What I haven't liked is that these socks, which cost a small mint, wear out as quickly as (possibly more quickly than) traditional socks, commercial or handknit. And yet throwing them out and replacing them, because they simply cannot be darned like traditional socks, just doesn't make sense, especially if you're into recycling in the first place.
I considered making myself new fleece socks, but the ones I already have are fine everywhere else than the bottoms, primarily the heel, and I just can't jettison them. So I am recycling my recycled socks. I have another two pair waiting for their new bottoms to be stitched on.

I love it! I was complaining the other day that I wear holes in my socks very quickly, because we have a lot of cinder rock on our property... the rocks get into my shoes and wear holes in my socks. I have a darning egg, but never got the hang of using it to repair my socks. I love that you have found a way to repair your socks so well!

The majority of coffee drinkers who want to cut down on caffeine think, "I'll just drink some decaf instead". They may have some qualms about the decaffeination process so they buy the healthier type of decaffeinated coffee made from water processed or CO2 extracted coffee beans. But let's stop to think for a moment. Processed? Extracted? What does that do to the beneficial phytochemicals in coffee like antioxidants? What does it do to the flavor? Is decaffeinated coffee healthy to drink?
Decaffeinated Coffee Still Has Caffeine
Decaffeinated coffee by law has to have 97% of its caffeine removed. No decaffeination method is able to remove 100% of the caffeine.
A 12 oz cup of decaf contains anywhere from 10-17 milligrams of caffeine. A 16 oz Starbucks® Grande contains 12-23 milligrams and a 20 oz Venti contains upwards of 28 milligrams! If you order a cup of decaf coffee at a coffee bar or restaurant, independent studies have shown a great variance in the amount of caffeine in the cup even on the same day from the very same place. So there is no safety in knowing how much caffeine you may get from a cup of decaf coffee.
"The important point is that decaffeinated is not the same as caffeine-free," says Roland Griffiths, PhD, a professor of behavioral biology and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in a news release for a study conducted by the University of Florida on caffeine content in decaf coffee. "People who are trying to eliminate caffeine from their diet should be aware that popular decaffeinated espresso drinks such as lattes (which contain two shots of espresso) can deliver as much caffeine as a can of Coca-Cola -- about 31 milligrams."
Decaffeinated Coffee Loses Antioxidants During Extraction
All decaffeinated extraction methods either soak or steam the coffee beans with water in order to extract the caffeine. Soaking the beans is like brewing a very strong, concentrated cup of coffee. Steaming opens up the pores of the beans so whatever solvent is used can enter the beans and remove the caffeine.
Boiling or steaming water changes the coffee bean's phytochemical structure during decaffeination. This is due to the exposure to extreme heat and the resulting hydrolysis of coffee's chlorogenic acids that are water soluble antioxidants. Decaf coffee becomes chemically-altered and degraded compared to natural, non-decaffeinated coffee beans. Although both decaf and regular coffee lose antioxidant compounds during the roasting process, decaf coffee has a higher loss of chlorogenic acids after roasting that may be due to the chemical changes the coffee beans underwent during decaffeination.
Chemical Solvents Used In Decaffeinated Coffee May Be Harmful To Your Health
The most common method of decaffeinating coffee uses chemical solvents, which may leave residues on the beans. Some coffee brands claim to use a "100% natural water process". In fact, this coffee may have been soaked in several chemical solvents such as methylene chloride, a base for paint strippers, and ethyl acetate, also known as dry cleaning fluid. First the beans are steamed for 30 minutes and then they are soaked for 10 hours in chemical solvents. Then, the beans are steamed again to remove most of the solvents and now these beans can be called "100% natural water process" decaffeinated coffee. The FDA permits residues of these solvents to remain on the decaf coffee beans after roasting.
Although it is claimed that only trace amounts of solvents remain in decaf coffee beans, studies show that decaf coffee drinkers have a higher incidence of rheumatoid arthritis. It is theorized that this could be due to residues of the chemicals used in decaffeination.
Decaffeinated Coffee Is Highly Acidic
People typically complain that decaffeinated coffee doesn't taste anywhere near as good as regular coffee. Highly acidic coffee beans are used to make decaf in order to have some flavor remaining after the beans have been soaked, steamed, and exposed to solvents. Coffee has an acid flavor profile, and thus, decaf coffee needs to have some acid left after the decaffeination process. The type of coffee that has the highest acidity is robusta coffee beans. Robusta coffee is considered to be inferior in flavor characteristics to the higher valued Arabica beans, but its high acidity makes it better for decaffeinated coffee.
The acidity in decaf coffee is often a problem for coffee drinkers. Coffee drinkers may find that they can drink regular coffee but not decaf because of the higher acidity in decaf coffee. Too much acidity causes health problems that include heartburn, ulcers, inflammatory bowel conditions, osteoporosis, and urinary tract inflammations.
Negative Health Effects of Decaf Coffee
Scientific studies show that decaf coffee can have the following effects on your health:
Making Your Own Low Acid "Decaf" Coffee
If you want to drink coffee with lower amounts of both caffeine and acidity, you can make your own "decaf" by combining regular coffee with naturally caffeine-free herbal coffee. The herbs, grains, fruits and nuts used to make herbal coffee are completely caffeine free. They contain water-soluble antioxidants and phytonutrients that are natural and unadulterated because they haven't had to undergo processing like decaf coffee beans.
Teeccino Herbal Coffee, the #1 Coffee Alternative in the America, is both naturally caffeine-free and non-acidic. Teeccino has an alkalizing effect because it contains bioavailable potassium, the electrolyte mineral that the body uses to correct metabolic acidity. When Teeccino is combined with regular coffee, it reduces the amount of caffeine in a cup and also reduces the acidity.
Bu using a combination of Teeccino with regular coffee, you can create a brew with the amount of caffeine you want. Since Teeccino brews just like coffee, you can blend Teeccino's all-purpose filter grind with your favorite brand of coffee in your coffee maker or French press.
Here is the approximate amount of caffeine in combinations of coffee and Teeccino:
Percentage of Teeccino | Percentage of Coffee | mg of Caffeine per 12 oz cup |
0% | 100% | 200mg |
50% | 50% | 100mg |
75% | 25% | 50mg |
88% | 12% | 25mg |
Brewing Instructions:
When brewing Teeccino in a coffee maker, you only need 1 rounded tablespoon of Teeccino for every 2 cups (10 fluid oz) of water. Coffee, however, is typically brewed with 1 tablespoon for each cup (5 fluid oz) of water. People who like lighter coffee will use less coffee. Use the following quantities to guide you in making your own decaf coffee:
In a 12-cup pot of coffee:
Desired Caffeine Strength | Amount of Regular Coffee | Amount of Teeccino |
50% | 4-6 Tbsp | 3 Tbsp |
25% | 3-4 Tbsp | 4 Tbsp |
12% | 1-2 Tbsp | 5 Tbsp |

Having a backlog of photos yet to post up of our trip to California is not all chore; as I work through the photos, I get to reminisce of the fun things we did and the delicious food we ate on the trip, weeks and months after we've returned home. After our cycling and beach expedition on Coronado, we took the ferry back to San Diego and had a short rest in our hotel room. Rejuvenated by a quick shower, we all got ready to go out again in search for dinner. Getting to the historical Gaslamp Quarter was a straightforward half-hour stroll from our hotel (near Little Italy), and we were able to take in all the sights much better than if we'd taken public transport or car. The Gaslamp is known as the center of downtown nightlife, and there are many restaurants and bars to be found in this area. Café Sevilla is one of them, serving Spanish tapas and good sangria.
Café Sevilla on the outside:
Inside Café Sevilla:
Café Sevilla has a groovy interior, and dimly lit with almost a nightclub feel. Like everywhere else on the west coast, the service we received was friendly and helpful. The menu consisted mostly of tapas, which is great for sharing and variety.
Sangria, which was pretty potent and packed a punch. There was a choice of red or white sangria, and obviously we chose the red:
Seafood Crepe (US$9) with shrimp, scallop and clam in light lobster saffron sauce. This was a great little seafood plate, and I adored the lobster sauce that complemented the seafood crepe well:
Upon recommendation by our waitress, we ordered the Green Mussels Escabeche (US$7), served ceviche-style with Serrano pepper salsa. Tart and tasty:
One of the new menu items was the Stuffed Piquillo Peppers ($4 each or $10 for three). We ordered all three types - short rib, duxelles of mushroom and seafood. The short rib (pictured in the foreground) was tender and boldly flavoured, sure to please the tastebuds of red meat lovers:
Stuffed Piquillo Peppers #2 - the duxelles of mushroom was my favourite of the three. Beautiful earthy flavours:
Stuffed Piquillo Peppers #3 - the seafood one was nice, but be sure to eat this first as the other two stronger-flavoured stuffed peppers will overwhelm the subtlety of seafood flavours:
Black Paella en su Tinta (US$24) - Bomba black rice with seafood and drizzled with Alioli. The black comes from squid ink, which can stain! Stain factor aside, this dish was delicious, but a little bit too salty:
The Andalusian Chicken Salad (US$14) was a hefty bowl of mixed greens and grilled chicken dressed in a balsamic vinegar-orange dressing. It was a well-composed salad, and I loved the sweet juicy mango dices and the creamy avocado:
If you are in San Diego and you like tapas, Café Sevilla is not to be missed!

Maderia - Part One Before Tea
... a posh afternoon tea at Reid's hotel and the second on our return, which some of you won't get until later tonight or not until after the weekend for those who read this at work.
This morning we landed at Funchal, Madeira, which is "double the size of the Isle of Wight". (Why do they keep comparing everywhere we visit with the Isle of Wight?) Anyway, it looks like a dump.
The town is very hilly with crowds ...
Madeira - Part Two After Tea
... by this collection of staggering old people cluttering up their hallowed halls. Walking through several lobbies to get to the cocktail lounge we passed one large and imposing solid wood door with the number "666" on it. Well at least we now know where the devil goes on holiday.
The room where tea was laid out was very elegant and the settings beautifully done. Eventually the rest of the coach party joined us and the sandwiches were brought out. Tea ...
Cable car explorers
Arrived Funchal Madeira just as the light was breaking through at 8am. The sun was soon shining and we made our way along the sea front to take the two fabulous cable car rides. The first, which seemed very new took us up the side of the mountain to Monte and the second took us across a huge ravine to the botanic gardens ...

I tried a couple more island specialties at dinner at the
hotel restaurant. Madeira's most famous dish is a type of fish locally called

traditional preparation is either with local bananas or with a passion fruit

We then went in search of some food coming across the running man statue along the promenade. I got a sneak preview of one of the doors in the old section on our way to a little cafe where we had lunch. We did a quick stop at the Madeira shopping centre where they have started to display flowers for the flower ...

There are a lot of users who rely on dedicated cloud sharing platforms to store their most important files and documents. Those who also want to make sure their data is secure and that no unauthorized people can access it can encrypt it with a specialized app, such as DataLocker SkyCrypt.
The interface of the software solution is intuitive and user-friendly, and one can easily create a new encrypted drive with a single mouse click.
They will need to specify the destination of their drive, depending on the sharing service detected on the host computer. More precisely, DataLocker SkyCrypt supports Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Bitcasa and Box, while also allowing users to create their encrypted drive within a local folder.
Once this step has been completed and the newly created drive was assigned a name, a password will be required. Since this passphrase will be used to protect one's most important data, it is advisable to choose one as strong as possible (DataLocker SkyCrypt displays a strength indicator for each entered password). A drive letter will be assigned and the creation process is complete.
Users can also enable auto-mount and long file names, as well as activate filename encryption and case insensitive filenames, but it is best for beginners users not to deal with the last two settings, as they should only be managed by those with expert PC skills.
All in all, DataLocker SkyCrypt comes in handy to all those who want to make sure that the data they store via their cloud accounts cannot be locally accessed by nosy people - only those who know the correct password and use DataLocker SkyCrypt will be able to open the encrypted files.

On Wednesday, I spoke to the girls in my church's youth group about modesty and beauty. We actually had a really great time talking about everything from how your body and clothes relate and fight, how to sit in a miniskirt, and why you shouldn't date a boy who constantly compares you to other girls. This was a big win for me for two reasons. First, teenagers were actually interested in my talking adult face. Not really. They were curious about things like how to keep your bra straps from constantly falling off, ways to wear a strapless dress without being a cleavage display, and how to respond when someone makes fun of your outfit.
My girls wouldn't wear any of this, for which I am thankful. |
For most people, modesty is a topic that arises at work. Sometimes people only bring it up when they don't like someone else's outfit. For some people it's a matter of faith, while others have personal modesty rules based around what they are comfortable with. Pop stars may be anything goes, but the average woman has her limits. But for some reason (maybe watching too much To Catch a Predator), when many adults start to talk about modesty and teenagers, they turn into frantic nuns covering girls with blankets and assuming the darkest intentions. (And there's not enough teaching boys how to be gentlemen instead of louses, if you really want my curmudgeoney opinion.) Why can't we encourage girls to explore who they are, have fun with clothes, and oh yeah, please keep your butt in your pants and your boobs in your shirt? That sounds healthier.
What is modest for you? Do you think modesty is different for teenagers than for adults?

== Note sorry audio names have been lost, but I'll be retreiving them soon! bare with me, this game has been in storage a long time and finally got released! :) so please enjoy ==
It's very creative, but I'd like to die less. The game was very confusing. I don't know how much souls i should've spent on weapons.
its a good game if you need to lay of the stress but its kind of easy but i give it a 4.5/5
its different
its fun, addicting, and non laggy i LOVE it plus its creative the money goes along with the storyline
No Glitches, No Freezes, No Lack Of Description.
Everybody who is complaining that the game is hard to control, and that it freezes, and glitches up, You're all, straight retards, And you must have really shitty computers /:
This game is AMAZING. really funny. Decently challenging. and really unique. I love it. A Lot. with a passion. I'll play this constantly, It's a really fun type of addicting..
...One flaw i think i should point out tho. If you die, You get 2 free seeds, Everything that happened in hell, When you died, Never happened, and your damage ratio is reset... the day stays the same as well, You could just kill yourself. A multiple number of times. And have a multiple number of seeds.
Maybe fix this. Then. I'd call it. An all out, Amazing game.
The seeds for free when you die was a solution for impossible levels. Though maybe it made it a little easy.
