Central Profile
The University of Central Oklahoma prepares future leaders in an opportunity-rich environment, ideally located in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.
Central offers an innovative learning community where teaching comes first and students develop personal relationships with faculty and staff, like 2008 U.S. Professor of the Year, Dr. Wei Chen, who are committed to transforming lives. With 116 undergraduate majors and 55 graduate programs, UCO is a smart investment for students dedicated to their future success. Notable academic programs include the state's only master's degrees in Jazz Studies and Athletic Training and bachelor's degrees in dance education, humanities, actuarial science and creative writing. Additionally, UCO is home to premiere programs in Forensic Science, Education, Music Theatre, Mass Communication, and the new Academy of Contemporary Music, which opened in Oklahoma City's Bricktown district in Fall 2009.
Central's appealing 210-acre campus is on track to become a certified botanical garden, offering both a pleasing learning and living environment and a source of pride for students, employees and alumni. UCO has been ranked among the top universities nationally in residence life and as one of the top five universities to work for. UCO is also a recognized leader nationally for its sustainable and "green" practices, making the campus beautiful and efficient.
Central keeps the community entertained with live music every week at the popular UCO Jazz Lab and concerts and theatrical performances at Mitchell Hall Theater from students and the Broadway Tonight series, as well as engaging athletic events from the Broncho men's and women's teams.
Founded in 1890, Central is the state's oldest public institution of higher learning, and with an enrollment of more than 16,000, is also Oklahoma's third largest university. Central continues to cultivate creativity and innovation in every corner of campus, bringing to life its core values of Character, Community and Civility each day.

I do not doubt that there would be ten or a dozen men in Parliament who would represent our views, some or all of them belonging to our organisation. These men, feeling that they had a considerable body behind them, might more easily be induced to stand firmly, and refuse all offers of office, or local and personal benefits, which could be accepted only at the page: 142 cost of laying aside their functions of criticism.
At elections we should exert our influence. In every instance we should, if we were true to our principles, throw our weight, small though it might be, into the scale of that man, whether Dutchman or Englishman, whom we could most depend upon to act in accordance with our principles or do least violence to them. Where we could not possibly return a member of our own we could, by throwing our weight in the scale of the man most desirable or least objectionable, turn many elections. If, as an organisation, we stood firm to our convic- convictions page: 143 tions, we should frequently have the casting vote.
I think it will be necessary for us to set clearly before ourselves from the very start the fact that we have not organised ourselves to support any given body of politicians, but to see our policy enforced; that we have nailed to our mast-head, not the names of individuals, but a declaration of our principles. While a man acts in accordance with these, he is one of us; when he does not, then he ceases to be of us. We could as little have supported the recent Ministry under Mr. Rhodes, because three of the ablest and most liberal men of page: 144 the country bore office in it, as we could the present Ministry. The bitterest wrong which leaders can inflict upon their crew is when they take service on the enemy's ship, and prevent their fellows from attacking it, for fear of wounding them. Under such circumstances there is nothing to be done but to fire, regardless whether you bring down your own absconded leaders or the enemy; and this, even though they may have been partly actuated by a desire to impede the enemy's sailing powers when they took service.
As Progressives, we should not be moved an inch out of page: 145 our path by the fact that any man calls himself an Oppositionist, or is the member of any existing Government. We should endeavour to support or oppose any man or Ministry with strict impartiality, exactly as it opposed or supported the principles we represent. As long as a man, in any single instance, supported them, did he call himself Bondsman or Retrogressive, he should have our steadfast approval.
That captious criticism, and disingenuous judgment, which would condemn any measure brought in or supported by a member of an opposing political faction, and which is almost in- inevitable page: 146 evitable where men have turned politics into a game, and are playing to make points, should be wholly foreign to the spirit of such an organisation as our own, whose chief end should be the passing of those measures we believe beneficial, and not the seeing of those men who call themselves our representatives for the moment captains in the political game.
Were such an organisation as I have suggested formed which would draw into itself the scattered Progressive Elements throughout the whole country, despising none; and which should seek to draw its strength, not from numbers, but from the page: 147 determination and the impersonal aims of its members; which should endeavour to influence political life without throwing itself into the whirlpool of political ambitions; and which should stand outside, consistently fighting for its own principles—such an organisation, though including perhaps at first not many noted political names, but formed of the people and for the people, would, I believe, slowly and surely grow. For the first two years our occupation would be mainly that of self-organisation, and the education of public feeling. I believe that in five years' time we should be a power in the page: 148 land, able to restore the Retrogressive Influences to that healthy and natural position in which they would form a conservative safeguard, preventing the inauguration of measures too far in advance of the social condition of the community. I believe that in fifteen or twenty years' time our aims, which now appear chimerical to a part of the community, will be then but an attempt to give voice to the convictions of the people. And this I believe is worth working and waiting for.

text: So with this upgraded conversion I'm happy I got even closer to the screen used iconic Stormtrooper blaster. I also own an extra set of Gino and Marv t-tracks, ready to replace and be added at any time. The old Joerg custom cylinders I had till now on my Sterling are pretty cool on their own, also made with genuine Metalmite capacitors like the screen used ones, but they are a bit more idealized. Maybe I'll add them to the Master Replicas E-11 or sell them

Don't waste your time. Seriously, just don't. the series appears to have been cancelled, and after dragging out the mystery for an eternity, it dumps a bunch of clues in your lap in the final chapter, then ends the whole series without solving the mystery. The final line tell you the reader to "please think about the clues".See full review
I would advise against anyone picking this series up. While the art, story, characters, and everything else are quite good, it's naught but an exercise in frustration. It was dropped right in the middle of a cliffhanger, they didn't even give it a rushed ending. The final chapter ends with the good guys in trouble, in the midst of an ongoing plot, and that's it. I've been waiting an eternity for more chapters, and only just now realized that it was cancelled. I gave it a low overall score due to it's lack of an ending, for this ruins the whole experience.See full review
This might be some kind of prequel to outlaw star, but it really bears no resemblance at all to it. Far from being a space based story, this thing is entirely a high school story, and not a very good one at that. The artwork also looks nothing like outlaw star, it bears a much stronger resemblance to ranma or to dragonball. If you're looking for a screwball school comedy, this is a decent choice. However, that is not what it is marketted as. It is promoted as being a space adventure, but that is just false advertising.See full review
A good balance of plot and action. Not much to say about it, nothing stands out much as specifically good nor bad, but the overall impact is quite good.See full review
The story overall is good, but it's a slow read. It's not so much that the story itself is slow, just something about the way it's written. I, for one, just couldn't get into it enough to stop noticing the passage of time while I was reading. I gave it a high overall score because it is quite good, I just wish it were more engaging.See full review
While the plot sounds dull, something about the way it's written is very engaging. I saved this for last this week because it sounded the worst, but it wound up being one of the best (neck & neck with kandachime). I had planned to only read the 2 vols required for the manga club, but had finished all the available chapters almost before I had even realized it. My one gripe about this series is the artwork. The exaggerated/chibi art used to emphasize certain reactions looks terrible (especially for the main character). To make matters worse, they use the gimmick way too much (especially with the main... See full review
This series stinks, nuff said. The first 3/4 of the first volume was very slow, then they finally pick up the plot a bit in the final 1/4 with a surprise twist and then they end the volume without delving any further into the new plot twist. The second volume picks up with some almost completely unrelated characters & an unrelated plot. About 1/4 of the way in, it finally gets back to the main character & touches on one of the original plot points, but never does really progress the plot at all. In addition, the plot twist I mentioned earlier is never mentioned again in the second volume. All in... See full review
This series started out really good, I would have rated the first part 4 stars or more. After a while though it made a huge shift in plot & characters, and seemed like a completely unrelated series. That part sucked major balls, and should be given a negative rating. If I had the capacity to give the series 2 seperate ratings, I would give the first part very high ones (probably 8/10), but the later part deserves very low ones for story & overall (probably 0.0003/10). The scores included here are the 2 sets averaged together.See full review
The first half of this manga was great. However, this is one of those aggravating series which completely changes story & plot in the middle. After the initial plot concludes, a new & almost completely unrelated one ensues. In the second plot, Dragon Drive has been transformed into a card game and the star is a completely new character (although I believe he's related to one of the original heroes). The only returning character in the beginning is the announcer, Agent L. Some of the original characters do return much, MUCH later in the series, but even then they're little more than cameo appearances.See full review
Man... This couldn't BE a more blatrant Dragonball ripoff if it tried. The art is very similar, the characters are very similar (a spiky-haired kid with superhuman strength & ninja skills, an older girl playing a nanny-like role, an irresponsible old geezer who's supposed to be teaching the kid, a villain who's a blatant piccolo ripoff). At first Yaiba at least tried to be a little unique, with the plot revolving around competition for some ancient cursed swords instead of hunting for dragon balls. However, starting around chapter 55 they go on a scavenger hunt for magical spheres, one of which will... See full review

Thanks HooDoo. That was the most useful help I haver ever gotten. I'll give it a shot. Especially the skin tone technique.
I'm gonna try to see if I can do this. I really want to. I downloaded Gimp again and I selected a pic from my Photobucket. I was just gonna put some test on the pic and toss it up on TD to show you all that I am serious about trying.
I didn't quite get the hang of using text I ran outta space for what I was typing and then couldn't erase it or remove it. I just need to experiment and use the tools...get acquainted with them...and biggest thing for me now is figure out what tools to use and where that are!!
I have a few days vacation days coming up and I'll try and get something done.
HBTD - So there is no way to "darken" the skin of the face to match the tone of the rest of the skin?
I can't even remember how I got an image from Photobucket to the Gimp screen!!!
OK, I have 2 different boxes on each side of the screen. One has paint brushes and stuff (left) the other (right side) has what I think is a bunch of ink blots!!! do you all leave these 2 thingys up there on screen? I'm guessing that's what I'll use to work with. I hate to feel lost...but it's challenging. God I respect you people even more now!!!
OK, I got the image back. If I touch one of the tools Left box, how do I turn loose of it. I seemed to have picked up a water drop or something that resembles a tear!!! I didn't mean to!!
So how do I get that broken yellow line from away from my text?
How can I fill in the blank areas that are very obvious and how can I "clean it up" to make it better?
No worries. Hope that it all makes sense. If not, just ask.
I skipped over some steps in my example about layers, eraser/transparency, etc. Same there...if you have any questions, just ask.
After I put together the next one about blending, I will tackle one about putting a face on a head (or partial features on a face).

Madison, Wis. (April 5, 2011) — A catastrophe team from American Family Insurance is responding to Madison, Wis. after a severe hail and wind storm that swept through the area on Sunday.
As of Monday evening, 520 property claims have been received. American Family expects as many as 2500 property claims will be filed as a result of this storm.
American Family customers who have claims should immediately contact the company's 24-hour Customer Care Center 1-800-MY-AMFAM (692-6326) to schedule an inspection of their damaged property or vehicle.
Vehicles are inspected by appointment only, which customers can schedule when reporting their claim. The drive-ins will operate 7 days a week, with appointment times available from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
How do I report my claim? To report a claim, please contact our 24-hour Claim Customer Care Center at 1-800-MY-AMFAM (692-6326) or your American Family agent.
What damages to my property might be covered? Your homeowners insurance policy covers wind and hail damage to your home and personal property. The "comprehensive" section of your auto insurance policy provides coverage for wind and hail damage to your vehicle.
Can I start to make repairs to prevent further damage? You should protect your property immediately against further damage and theft. Use plywood, tarps or other materials to cover broken windows and damaged rooftops. Keep the receipts of any materials/services that you purchase to make these repairs so your adjuster can review them and reimburse you for expenses covered by your policy.
How will the inspection process work? When a hailstorm creates a large volume of claims, we will typically establish one or more drive-in sites where policyholders can take their hail-damaged vehicles to be inspected and receive payment for repairs, less their deductible. These inspections take place on an appointment basis only, so it's important that you first report your claim.
If your home has sustained hail damage, an adjuster will contact you at one of the phone numbers you provided when you reported your claim. The two of you will schedule an inspection of your home, after which the adjuster will develop an estimate and make payment for repairs covered by your policy.
Who do I call to make repairs? You are free to select any contractor or repair shop you wish. It is usually best to select one who has operated in the area for several years, is insured and bonded, and will give you a written guarantee for the work performed.
Based in Madison, Wis., American Family Insurance offers auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, health insurance, business and farm/ranch insurance in 19 states. American Family insurance is the nation's third-largest mutual property/casualty insurance company. Web: www.amfam.com; Facebook: www.facebook.com/amfam; Twitter: www.twitter.com/amfam

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — A Jackson lawyer has donated memorabilia on author Eudora Welty to Mississippi University for Women.
The Clarion-Ledger reported that the donation by Ferrell Tadlock, a clerk with the state Court of Appeals, includes including books, photographs, magazines and monographs.
The collection, valued at more than $13,000, represents all of his first-edition Welty materials gathered over the last four decades.
"I have many signed first-editions," he said, "but the Welty ones are most special to me."
The announcement was made on Saturday during the university's homecoming convocation.
Tadlock presented the gift in honor of Jackson residents Barbara Austin and Lynda Wright, who this year became MUW Golden Girls, a milestone marking the 50th anniversary of their graduation from the university.
Tadlock, a Millsaps College graduate, said he met the women while volunteering for the New Stage Theater in Jackson. The friends later became neighbors in a Belhaven neighborhood not far from Welty's home.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author attended what was then known as Mississippi State College for Women from 1925-27.
University President Jim Borsig said the donation represents "a significant contribution to The W's literary archives and the place of Miss Welty in the history of our institution. We are very appreciative of this very special honor for two of our graduates."

Good question, maybe upside, to compete, lack of faith?
"The Cardinals were reportedly "not optimistic" about the condition of Wells' knees before releasing him. Steelers doctors may have found something they didn't like as well, as he left club headquarters without a contract. It's fair to wonder if Wells might need a knee surgery before he finds a landing spot."
Somebody's wrong somewhere, apparently based on his Twitter ID Beanie hasn't been to Pittsburgh yet.

My buddy Dave Cheatum's eleven years and eight month old Golden (Ram River Rock'n Rudy) just got second place in a very tough 71 dog Open over the weekend. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that Rudy was pretty much retired to the couch at his home in Phoenix AZ for the past two years. Dave kept telling me that Rudy was looking great, very fit and frisky for a dog of any age, so he was thinking about sending him off for a month of training then take him with our other three dogs to the Golden Specialty. I was skeptical but not after I saw Rudy in training. He looks and runs like a five year old, but with the savy of an old vet who has seen it all. Rudy ran well at the Specialty but didn't get called back from the water blinds, so Dave entered him at the Charlo trial last weekend. He's also entered in Spokane next weekend, who knows, a win would qualify him for the National and title him, I've seen stranger things happen.
Congrats Dave, Rudy is an inspriation.

Bake spicy muffins made using Betty Crocker® muffin mix topped with pepper jelly - perfect holiday appetizers for a crowd.
If using dark, nonstick muffin cups, you may need to reduce the oven temperature to 375°.
When planning the party, keep your budget in mind. Depending on your party plan, you may want to invest in new serving pieces or decorations. Or splurge on a few spendy ingredients, such as caviar and smoked salmon.

The state of Maine isn't just spending your tax money on ridiculous endeavors with excessive price tags and no clear public benefit.
It's also squandering some of it.
The state accomplishes this important governmental function by studying stuff. Lots of stuff. I recently came across a list of review and research projects authorized by the Legislature. Not counting permanent bodies — such as the Maine Pilotage Commission, the We Support Our Troops Advisory Board, and the Maine Regulatory Fairness Board (winner of the coveted Oxymoron of the Year Award) — the state is currently conducting at least 73 studies of crucial matters. Like the "agricultural creative economy."
Artistic vegetables?
Among the non-agricultural studies of the arts is one to "review Maine's cultural community and increase visibility of council."
Try a sex scandal. That always works.
There's also a panel to "review administration of the relief from disabilities provision to regain the ability to possess a firearm."
They lost me right after "administration."
Although that seems straightforward compared to the "work group to evaluate Maine combined bill demonstration project."
Please don't let that have anything to do with my life.
There are two studies under way on poisons in children's toys, one focused on lead and the other on toxic chemicals. There's also a study on lead in houses and how it affects kids. And another group is determining where in the state children are most at risk of lead poisoning. But nobody is studying how all these studies might be combined.
For sheer incomprehensibility, I like the "review and plan regarding alternative structures to hold and expand transmission assets of investor-owned transmission and distribution utilities." For sheer futility, there's the "updated study of the feasibility of establishing a single-payor health care system in the state." For sheer creepiness, I'd nominate the "deer predation working group."
Just using the word "payor" instead of "payer" tells you that committee has reached a level of pretentiousness where expensive consultants (consultors?) are required. And I shudder to think of the cleaning bills after the deer predators get finished with their working lunches.You're awful, I love you
"I can't imagine doing it, but I am thinking about it. I might vote for Tom Allen."
Can you guess the identity of this potential — and conflicted — supporter of Allen, the Democratic 1st District congressman, in his bid to unseat Republican US Senator Susan Collins? I'll make it multiple choice.
Susan Collins's mother.
Michael Heath, executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine.
The answer is Heath, perhaps the least liberal person in the state (or, at least, the most strident right-winger). He recently sent out an e-mail threatening to vote for Allen, one of the most liberal members of Congress. The reason: "Collins is to the left of Allen on gay rights," wrote Heath. "Why Senator Collins thinks she needs to out-gay her Democratic rival is a puzzle."
For the record, both candidates support gay rights, although Allen has backed it longer and more consistently. But this year, Collins got endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign, in all likelihood because that group figures she has a better chance of winning.
If Allen gets Heath's endorsement, they're probably right.Get awkward
How many times do you have to do something weird before you're permanently designated a wacko? I'm not sure, but Hayes Gahagan has to be getting close.

Can't say I've ever seen a show like this before, the story is really crazy yet held my interest throughout due to the twists and turns that the show threw at me. Video review will explain more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIo3E6wyQqA BBFC rating - 18 for strong sexual threatSee full review
I greatly enjoyed this little show, despite its jarring tonal problems, one moment its funny, next moment it gets really dark. The characters aren't really that memorable, they aren't annoying or anything, with Alice really being the only one with a rounded personality.

Well another second season next to spice and wolf that disapointed me. I thought Black Lagoon was about the Lagoon company partaking in jobs, but that completely gets forgotten in this season, Benny and Dutch taking a back seat to everything, with Rock and Revy being the stars. However the arcs presented in this anime, just aren't interesting except for the twins at the start of the show. The last arc which takes up half of the show is so dull and so uninteresting because I just did not care about this character. Character development is completely side tracked in favour of action.

Black Lagoon is a whole lot of fun, the action is great, the animation also, but the highlight of the series is the interactions and developing relationship between Rock and Revy.

The things that bugged me in Fate/Stay Night aren't present in Fate/Zero, for starters the show actually checks in on all seven masters and servants who are taking part in the war and shows the viewer what they are doing when they aren't fighting, this in turn gave them more development because I could actually conect to them then and understand them, unlike Fate/Stay Night.

While watching Fate/Stay Night I found the actually Holy Grail War aspect of the show to be incredibly dull, due to a great lack of character development for the masters and servants. Why the 8 then? Because the developing relationship of Shiro and Saber was fantastic and over the course of the show they both affect each other in different ways - their romance was brilliant and luckily they are in the show 90% of the time, but getting through all the boring battles and the discussion of the war was a chour to get through: More in video review: ...

Unlike Samurai Girls, Samurai Bride has a really unfocused story and it introduces way too many new characters. The four dark samurai's are very weak villians compared to Gisen in Samurai Girls, however I do like the main characters and that's pretty much why I kept watching, nor is the show ever boring. If you liked/loves Samurai Girls then yeah I mildly recomend this, if you hated it then you probably won't like this one either.

SPOILER WARNING!!! Attack on Titan has an amazing premise and that's the only reason I wanted to watch it; when I read the premise I had in my mind that this could be a really heavy, shocking and emotional show. I got that in the first 2 episodes and everything was oh so epic; as I went further it got more interesting and then the shocking ending of episode 5 happened, when Eren 'died'. I was like man, this anime is going to be awesome, they just did a bold thing there by killing off the main character, it's going to be like Game of Thrones man, anyone can die. Fast forward to the end of episode 8; Eren is... See full review
*Reviewed from an outsiders perspective as I know nothing about the video game* The story for the most part seemed very slow and I was introduced to things that I had no idea about (like blastia) and some random cameo's from characters I assume are from the game, that go no where. It did pick up though in the second half, the two main characters were interesting and well developed, same with their commanding officer. Animation is great, soundtrack is great; from an outsiders point of view I really enjoyed it, though I'm sure fans of the game will get more out of it. It's just a fun film to me. More in...

Shigurui is vile disgusting trash - the gratuitous use of violence really distracts from the characters and what little story the anime is trying to tell - people have told me that it's trying to resemble the brutal Samurai era of fedual Japan, in that case it works, there's misogyny, there's harakiri, there's rape, murder, everything; but there's no interesting story here, as we follow these two incredibly unlikeable characters. I can't route for these guys, I can't feel any sympathy for them, escpically when they do these horrible things. Violence has to have a narrative purpose instead of just being... See full review

Fractale has a lot of intresting ideas and the world that the anime is set in is filled with mystery and wonder, but the anime seems to lose focus during the middle and even though it 11 episodes, some episodes felt really pointless.

Black Rock Shooter is 8 episodes long, an incredibly short anime, but I spent nearly all of the anime terribly confused and only when it reached episode 8 did everything sort of make sense, but it's too late anime, the damage has been done. The anime seemed to be terribly confused as to what it wanted to be: did it want to be a science fiction anime with alot of fighting? A school life anime that focuses on these mentally unstable school girls? It couldn't make it's mind, so it decided to be both, even though it hardly makes sense.

The first was great and this one slightly improves on the orginal with the continuing story of Rune Balton, as the film begins exactly where the first one left off and this film focuses on Rune re-covering from her wonds in a place called Paradice, then it switches to a rather intresting game of gamberling in the second half. The first one had alot of action and was very fast, while it is the same length as the first one, there is hardly action in it and Rune Balton's revenge starts to become less violent as it was in the first one, but I find it more interesting...

Paranoia Agent is a very confusing and trippy seires, with each episode focusing on different characters leading up to them getting attacked by Shonen Batto; each episode is a self contained story, but never leaving out the detectives who are trying to solve the case. I enjoyed the first three episodes, then it got boring and it really came back in episode 8 - this episode is about three members of an internet suicide pact, with their goal throughout the whole episode being to kill themselves; it's certainly the best and most intresting episode and I'd really love it more if the whole seires was about these...

I do love ecchi's and harems and Samurai Girls is one of the best I have seen. Not only are the characters (except for Kanetsugu, she was incredibly annoying) all interesting and in their own way like-able but the plot took very unexpected turns and the story got quite dark, when they introduced Gisen who turned out to be a brilliant villan.

The first season is outstanding, but unfortantly not all second seasons turn out like Clannad After Story. I don't think I've ever been so disapointed with an anime before; tha main plot of Spice and Wolf, from the first season was Lawrence taking Holo up north, with threats and stuff along the way, now that worked in the first season because they were constantly on the road and we saw the lovely countryside and everything else this world has to offer, yet this season thinks it's wise to keep everything self contained in two towns, because there's only two story arcs. Also the main charm of the first season... See full review
Spice and Wolf is rather unique for a fantasy anime; it doesn't focus on fighting, magic, action ect it focuses more on religion, trade, economics, money amongest other thing. The charm of the seires is the character Holo and Lawrence, watching them chat and interact with each other is were the joy of the series comes from, they both bring out the worst and best in each other.

This is Makoto Shinkai's follow up to his masterpiece 5 Centimetres Per Second and while it doesn't reach the emotional heights of that anime, Children Who Chase Lost Voices is still a thrilling, gorgeous, orginal, creative and highly entertaining adventure. The characters aren't really memorable or developed though and the fantasy setting does make me feel very emotionally alienated from what is happening (the complete oposite is true in 5CPS) and the film really outstays it's 2 hour running time, with padded out scenes and pointless characters they introduce.

Deemed to be Studio Ghibli's worst film; I went in thinking 'it's from Studio Ghibli how bad can it be?'. I don't know if I'm looking to deeply into it, but this is possibley one of the worst film I have ever seen and it all comes from the story and the character, the two biggest parts of the film and they fuck it up. In the first 5 mins Prince Arren kills his farther the King, for possibly no reason and the movie wants us to feel sorry for him.

Story? Doesn't matter. Animation? Not good but it does the job well. Nothing else matters, all that matters is the Characters. It's a 26 episode anime, very long yes, but my motavation for watching all episodes was the Characters, they are all like-able, developed and the series used it's time up well (except episode 13, which was a pointless filler).

Angel Beats has a brilliant interesting premise and really memorable characters; however alot of character back stories are left untold at the end or some aren't finished. This is such a shame as one of the main themes to do with the anime is death and it just left me wanting to know how the characters died. The animation and soundtrack are flawless, but the lack of focus in the story and leaving such important characters with untold back stories, makes me feel that this anime should of been longer. It's a great anime, but I feel like it could of been a masterpiece if it took more time to develop these... See full review
Enjoying this anime is mostly based on your humour; if you find vulgar nonsensicle sex jokes funny then you'll really love the anime.

I give the anime high marks for creativity and having some of the best animation in the business, but the anime seems to be lacking a plot and characters to back it up. There is no focus in the story and it seems to be just throwing random events and beings/creatures at us with no ryhme or reason; there are side characters that also go no where and there motivations change in a instant.

Charming is the ultimate word to describe this film. And from a Studio Ghibli film I don't think you would expect anything more, it isn't high on emotions like some of the studios previous efforts, but it has an extreamly like-able female lead in Arrietty and some of the best use in music I've seen from an anime, the music and soundtrack really up the experience and soely thanks to the music it offers very memorable scenes.

Lacy re-injured in WSU loss to ASU
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jermaine Marshall scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half and Arizona State pulled away to beat Washington State 66-47 on Sunday.
Jahii Carson added 14 points and Shaquielle McKissic 12 for the Sun Devils (12-3, 1-1 Pac-12), who were coming off a 76-65 home loss to Washington in their conference opener.
DaVonte Lacy, Washington State's leading scorer for the season, was back in the lineup eight days after an emergency appendectomy but left with 6:23 to go in the first half and did not return.
Freshman Que Johnson scored 18 for Washington State.
The Cougars (7-7, 0-2) shot 34 percent three days after their worst offensive showing in 76 years in a 60-25 loss to top-ranked Arizona Thursday night.
Marshall, a graduate student transfer from Penn State, scored 16 -- including three 3-pointers -- in an 18-3 run that finally opened the game up for the Sun Devils, 51-33, with 10:55 to play. Arizona State led by as many as 23 after that.
Before that, the Cougars made it close.
Arizona State used a 13-3 run to go up 23-12 on Carson's driving bank shot with five minutes left in the first half.
But the Cougars scored nine in a row to cut it to 25-23 on two free throws by Dexter Kernich-Drew 34.6 seconds before the break. McKissic's tip-in just before the buzzer put the Sun Devils ahead 27-23 at the break.
Barely two minutes into the second half, Carson's 3-pointer put Arizona State up 33-25, but Johnson sank consecutive 3s for the Cougars to slice it to 33-31 with 17:09 to play.
Marshall scored the game's next eight points with a three-point play, a drive to the basket and a 3-pointer, putting Arizona State up 41-31 with 14:03 to go.
Marshall's 26 were his most at Arizona State and three shy of his career high set for Penn State against Michigan State last Jan. 16.
Johnson, who made 7 of 10 shots, was the only Cougar player in double figures.
Kernich-Drew, who missed the Arizona game with a concussion, also was back for Washington State. Lacy finished with four points and four rebounds in 11 minutes.
Washington State's 25-point struggle in Tucson was the Cougars' lowest-scoring game since they scored the same at Idaho in 1938. It also was the lowest-scoring game ever at McKale Center.

Future Retro 777
The Future Retro 777 is a monophonic analog synthesizer with a digital sequencer. The 777 is a sleek retro design that has realized the full potential of the monophonic pattern based synth. It's not just another TB-303 emulator. It uses analog circuitry and has a lot of hands-on knobs for instant sound tweaking. And while the 777 has extensive editing and modulation abilities, the layout is as basic and intuitive as an old SH-101 or MC-202!
The 777 functions quite well as either a standalone bass sequencer or as a sound module in a MIDI environment. Two oscillators (A / B) produce a fat bass sound. Modulation abilities are quite complex, the oscillators themselves can modulate each other for example. The filter is very nice with switchable 3 or 7 pole slopes as well as other sound shaping controls for a wide range of tones. An external sound can be routed through the filter too. The sequencer, OSC B and the decay envelope can also modulate the filter cutoff. The 777 also employs a smart accent effect for that extra bit o' kick in your bassline.
As a sequencer the 777 shines once again. Bear in mind that this sequencer accommodates a monophonic (single tone) instrument which normally has very basic sequencing needs. Notes are entered using the pseudo-keyboard buttons. Programming is different than other synth / grooveboxes of similar function but is relatively easy to master. Up to 256 patterns can be linked to form up to 16 songs all of which remain in memory. And of course all real-time editing can be recorded into your sequence and are also MIDI controllable. Final goodies include an internal MIDI to CV-gate converter, glide or portamento effects, distortion, chorus and phase effects and more! It has been used by BT, KMFDM and Sense Datum.

Mortgage rates are starting the year on the rise, following in the path of Treasury yields, which have crept higher since the Fed's decision to taper two weeks ago. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate climbed to 4.53% in the week ended today, the highest reading since the week ending Sept. 12, from 4.48% a week ago, according to Freddie Mac's (FMCC) latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey. A year ago that rate stood at 3.34%, just off its all-time low 3.31%. The average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate also rose to 3.55%, also the highest since mid-September, from 3.52% a week earlier and 2.64% a year ago.

CNN: Obama's lying about William Ayers
posted at 7:38 am on October 7, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
You'll want to double-check the logo at the bottom left corner during this report. It really is CNN and Anderson Cooper fact-checking Barack Obama's claims to have barely known William Ayers — and calling it dishonest. Stanley Kurtz even gets to make an appearance on a network other than Fox for this report (via Dirty Harry's Place):
Drew Griffin runs down most of the salient points raised by people like Kurtz, David Freddoso, Jerome Corsi, and others. Obama's admission in a debate that he briefly served on "a board" with Ayers with little contact gets shot down. CNN followed up on Kurtz' work with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and debunks that notion. They also — amazingly — report on the nature of the grants made by the CAC while Obama ran it to Ayers' favored schools with radical agendas.
Griffin also tells a somewhat nonplussed Cooper that Obama has lied about his "coming out party" at the home of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in 1995. Obama has said that Alice Palmer arranged the fundraiser and the venue, but Griffin spoke to two people who attended the event, who claim Obama lied. Palmer had nothing to do with that event outside of being invited to it. Obama and Ayers planned the event themselves.
Obama has lied repeatedly about his relationship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist. He spent years working for Ayers, promoting Ayers' causes. Even CNN won't buy the Obama line any longer. Expect John McCain to raise this point tonight in the debate.

I've just done the impossible. A feat in vintage collecting on par with finding a DT saber figure or rocket firing Fett. I have successfully taken an incomplete Tatooine Skiff and completed it. Back in the summer of 2000 I bought a Tatooine Skiff. It turned out that this Skiff had three missing parts, both rear legs and part of one of the fins. For the past five years I've search eBay everyday in a never ending hunt for those parts. That hunt ended today. I've received the final piece, the right rear leg, today. I will say it took less time than I thought it might have to do this.

A big congratulations Lusifer. I haven't gotten the nerve to spend that much money yet on a vintage item but I've seen how much them things have gone for on Ebay and you've got quite a piece there.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I have recently picked up the following ...
Imperial Shuttle = love it! Always wanted one. It's complete and has good color. Not yellowed.
Mail-away display stand = these are the L shaped ones that, for some reason, I had trouble getting. In great shape. Got it at a Toy Show for like $10.
A friend of mine for an early Christmas gift gave me a Vintage ROTJ X-Wing Fighter STILL in the original Box!! HOLY CRAP!!! I was floored. I didnt expect that at all! Wow!

This purchase is about a month old now, but there has been some problems with this it and was hoping to resolve them before posting. Any how, I finally got a red the "Force" lightsaber. The problem is that the seller said it had the ROTJ logo on the handle. What I got was an ESB version. I'd rather have the ROTJ version because I have memories of these. It's a minor thing, but is the major reason I hadn't bought until now. The seller has ignored all my communications and forced me to leave neutral feedback.

Culinary Event |Recipe … The Singapore TakeOut {SPICE} & Recipe for Lacy Pancakes!
"1 mobile kitchen, 9 cities, 10 chefs and 15 food brands on a 365-day gastronomic journey."
Singapore TakeOut
New Delhi marks the seventh stop for the Singapore Takeout on its nine-city world tour. It has already delighted diners in London, Paris, Moscow, New York, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. I was glad to be part of this novel concept, a fun afternoon with live cooking and delicious food, made even more interesting with a good bunch of food bloggers from Delhi. In the picture below – Apeksha, Rituparna Chef Benjamin Seck, me, Parul, Rekha. Also met up with talented fun non-food bloggers like Purba and Prateik.

The event was an exclusive preview and luncheon for the media to a taste of sensational Singapore-inspired food from the Singapore Takeout, a mobile pop-up kitchen concept that unfolds – or should we say, transforms, from what looks like an ordinary shipping container.In each city, Singapore's most innovative and internationally celebrated chefs work side-by-side a talent from each respective destination, whipping up dishes that are so unique, so special, and so incredibly delicious, you'll be left speechless and wanting more! … Just what happened to me!From word go, from the time the container literally popped open with a state of the art kitchen fitted inside, it was a unique culinary experience, one that tantalised the palatte and left us wanting for more. It was an afternoon of inspired food, showcasing the best of Singapore celebrity Chef Benjamin Secks gastronomic expertise. He teamed up with two top chefs from ITC Hotels, Chef Manisha Bhasin and Chef Rajkamal Chopra, to serve up a mouth-watering selection of Singapore-inspired dishes. The result – delightful renditions of Indian cuisine taken to delicious heights … fusion cooking at its best!Chef Benjamin's best-selling dish of Nyonya Prawn Curry with Roti Jalal (lacy pancakes) and his vegan rendition of Popiah Goreng (deep fried spring rolls) filled with cabbage and carrot, were excellent and left us longing for more. The sweet red chilli dip served alongside complimenting the spring rolls beautifully! The spiced prawn curry with the tender lacy pancakes were excellent, full of subtle flavours and spices. We were lucky to see a live demo of the pancakes, and I am happy to share the recipe below. Both dishes reflected the chefs Peranakan heritage and of the diverse cultures in Singapore.

Chef Manisha showcased Duet of Asian Inspired Antipasti, a dish featuring Scampi and Lemongrass Ceviche presented in a traditional methi dhania papdi shell. Accompanying it was ITC Maurya's specialty Chicken Tikka marinated with Laksa paste to give it a Singapore twist and finished on a charcoal grill. Our tastebuds were screaming for more. The duet fabulous, one cold, one hot, the cold served with a piquant tamarind sauce while the warm tikka tender and moist; they made for a handsome bite indeed. The delicately flavoured tikka was served over a basil naan, the anitpasti plated by the chef herself with expertise that reflected her talent and passion. As a flavourful finale, Chef Rajkamal recreated a vegetarian Laksa Pulao, which he showcased during the Singapore Takeout launch in Singapore in April 2011. I finished that bowl of pulao in a heartbeat. Even though I consider myself a small eater, I could have had another serving, it was that good. Each grain of rice separate, flavourful and in harmony with French beans tossed in a laksa curry paste. The touch of a seasoned chef came through in every bite, the spices light and endearing. The pulao was topped with a garlic raita and caramelised onions … a mouthwatering symphony of textures and flavours!
The Singapore Takeout is part of the Singapore International Culinary Exchange (SPICE) – an initiative helmed jointly by the International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and SPRING Singapore which champions Singapore's cuisine, culinary talent and food products globally. "Singapore has come a long way in its culinary journey. The country is fast becoming a must-visit destination for all food lovers, providing inspiration for culinary talent and an environment which encourages fast and furious food innovation," says Aw Kah Peng, Chief Executive of Singapore Tourism Board, "SPICE will spur this growth on through initiatives like the Singapore Takeout, where our local food and beverage talent will collaborate, exchange ideas, and network with their overseas counterparts."

Two Colville 5th graders face murder conspiracy charges
STEVENS COUNTY, Wash. - Two Colville boys face murder conspiracy charges for their alleged plot to kill fellow elementary school students in early February.
A judge found the 10 and 11-year-old, who appeared in Stevens County Superior Court Friday, both competent to stand trial.
Prosecutors say the fifth graders planned to rape and kill a girl who had been mocking them on their school bus. Prosecutors asked that despite the boys' young age, they be held responsible for their actions.Two Colville 5th graders face murder conspiracy charges
Both students plead not guilty to conspiracy to commit 1st degree murder, witness tampering and juvenile possession of a firearm.
All day long a superior court judge tried to decide if the two knew the difference between right and wrong when they allegedly hatched a murder plot for their school.
The two boys are still too young for KXLY to identify, but prosecutors say this pair of fifth graders came up with a grown up plan to get a gun in school in the hopes of killing a classmate.
The allegation they were ready to pay 80 dollars to another student to keep their plan a secret shows a lot about what they knew.
"He said he was supposed to use the gun to keep everybody away, while (deleted), he said at that point (deleted) was going to kill her." school counselor Debbie Rogers said.
A fellow student tipped off counselors about the alleged murder plot, a search of one of the defendant's backpack in his classroom turned up a knife as well.
Today in court KXLY learned one of the boys had already been suspended from Fort Colville Elementary for bringing liquor on campus and stealing musical instruments from the school.
"I asked him about the gun, where he had got the gun and he said he had stolen the gun from his brother's room and that his brother has stolen it from his grandfather," teacher's aide Richard Payette said.
Other testimony revealed the killing was supposed to happen the same day the gun was discovered but a quick-thinking 10-year-old told counselors who found the gun before it was too late.
"Both explained to me that they had been planning this event about two weeks before that date and on the date we made contact with them and interviewed these students, it was going to happen that day," Officer Scott Arms of Colville Police said.
Typically juvenile court proceedings are about helping young people recognize and recover from their mistakes.
However in this case the prosecutor is focused on conviction and punishment to help protect the public from the two boys he finds surprisingly dangerous.
- North Idaho millionare's estate up for auction
- Many seniors, mentally ill patients losing affordable housing
- Demand for new homes increasing, as is need for skilled workers and land
- Pickup plunges over 200-foot cliff, killing driver
- Domestic violence suspect flees after high speed chase
- Two men charged with burglarizing home

Many pulmonary hypertension patients are diagnosed with PH in association with one or more related conditions. Research shows that up to 30% of scleroderma patients, 20-40% of sickle cell patients and one out of every 200 HIV patients develop at least mild PH.
Other conditions commonly associated with PH include mixed connective-tissue disease, congenital heart disease (CHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), sleep apnea, liver disease and lupus. PH has also been linked to the use of certain drugs and toxins, including fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine and methamphetamines.
If you're juggling multiple conditions and the symptoms, specialists and medications that accompany each, you're not alone. Many patients and caregivers in our community understand the uncertainty and stress that go hand-in-hand with a diagnosis of PH related to another disease. Whether you're living with PH plus scleroderma, PH plus liver disease or PH plus another condition, you can share information and connect with people who understand.

Topic: We Have joined the CLUB of Insurance Denial
Good Morning America and points beyond! Teddy has now joined the "denial" club. He had a PET Scan in November otherwise the Cyber Knife that followed in December would not have been done. The radiologist now wants a follow up PET Scam to see if the Mass is gone. Yesterday, CIGNA denied it since it was not a Scan for a suspected new mass. Are they not brilliant. Knowing this doctor, he is going to try a second time but it's just frustrating since we all have enough to deal with without fighting Insurance Companies. On the other hand maybe they have heard of our "Miracle Man" and just feel he doesn't need it???
Just a little denial humor there.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

There was a cyberpunk counter-culture movement in the mid 80's / early 90's sprung from literature (William Gibson's Neuromancer), movies (Blade Runner) and the encroaching digital computer revolution.

You can almost see the IQ points evaporating.
The stoners pushing a referendum to legalize the use of marijuana by adults in Maine's most populous city seem to be growing dopier by the toke — in both senses of dopier. Their campaign to turn Portland into Potland relies heavily on an ill-considered premise that's guaranteed to turn off potential supporters.
Let me be clear — or at least as clear as the smoke-laden air surrounding this issue allows. I think laws banning the possession and use of marijuana by those 21 or older are stupider and more outdated than Cheech and Chong routines. They've done nothing to stop anyone from using the weed. They waste scarce law-enforcement resources. They use up costly space imprisoning people who are no threat to society. And they don't stop teenagers from inhaling all they want.
When a statute is that ineffective, it ought to be repealed. If I ever get a chance to vote to end the prohibition against ganja, I'll proudly mark my ballot in favor of freedom and common sense.
That is, I will unless the pro-pot forces of the Washington, DC-based Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) keep promoting their noxious campaign against alcohol.
I don't smoke dope. But I do drink. I support allowing everyone to make his or her own choices (and bear his or her own responsibility) when it comes to recreational drugs. There are advantages to all of them, as well as drawbacks and dangers. Pretending otherwise is every bit as brainless as believing you can do away with a commonly occurring substance simply by passing a law. If that were true, we'd have made cancer cells illegal.
Unfortunately, there are those in the cannabis campaign who aren't quite as open-minded. The MPP has online ads that claim, "Alcohol is highly toxic, which is why it produces hangovers and long term damage to users."
These are almost exactly the same misleading claims made by neo-prohibitionists in their efforts to restrict access to liquor. In reality, depending on levels of consumption, alcohol is no more toxic than butter, aspirin, or the Christian Civic League. Excessive exposure to any of them is going to leave you talking to Ralph on the big porcelain telephone.
David Boyer, the MPP's Maine political director, told the Portland Press Herald, "[M]arijuana is an objectively less harmful substance than [beer]."
The short-term side effects associated with a single moderately sized doobie include loss of memory, distorted perspective, problems with coordination, and difficulty learning. In other words, about the same problems that crop up after slamming down a six-pack.
The long-term consequences of heavy use of loco weed are even scarier. The average reefer contains three times the amount of tar as a similarly sized tobacco cigarette. Those carcinogenic hydrocarbons not only increase your chances of getting you-know-what, but can also cause lung infections, obstructed airways, and impairment to the immune system. The increased heart rate and lowered blood pressure experienced by those with THC is their systems is a recipe for heart attacks.
I'll put that list up against the danger of cirrhosis of the liver caused by chronic alcoholism any day.
