Besides having trouble with school and relationships, teenagers taking drugs may have mood swings with irritability, anger and changes in sleep patterns.
Changes in behavior, a change in grades, a change in how they dress, or a sudden change in friends may suggest the beginnings of alcohol or drug abuse. Listen to teachers and the teenager's friends.
If you're convinced your child has a problem, talk to your child's healthcare provider about an evaluation and possibly doing a drug screen. If your team refuses to go to the appointment, this may imply an admission of drug abuse.
Parents can help their teenagers kick a drug habit or avoid them in the first place:
Address the situation head on. Do not make excuses or enable the drug use. Make it very clear that this behavior is not acceptable. Provide consequences for your child's drug use.
Seek professional involvement immediately. Drug and alcohol abuse is a health problem, and you can quickly begin family counseling to determine if there are any underlying problems. If you are considering counseling, your healthcare provider may be able to refer you to a counselor.
If your teenager isn't experimenting with drugs, provide encouragement and positive reinforcement. Show your kids that you respect their good judgment by rewarding them with more privileges and increased responsibilities.
It is important not to panic at the first sign of alcohol and drug use. This may increase the divide between parent and teen. It is better to engage them in a mature dialogue. Treat them as if they were adults with their own opinions. At the same time, reinforce that with adulthood comes the responsibility of health, safety, and appropriate behavior.
How can a parent know if a teenager is using drugs? Look for changes in everyday functioning. Behavioral changes that are interfering with schoolwork, social activities or behavior at home may be due to substance abuse.
Warning signs may include:
Suddenly getting bad grades, or loss of interest in school activities.
A rapid, unexplained change of friends.
A lack of interest in appearance or clothing.
Evidence of lying, stealing, or spending money, but having nothing to show for it.
Sudden or unusual mood changes, especially depression, anger, and aggression.
Physical signs of drug or alcohol dependence like intoxication or hangovers.
Remain calm and in total control of your own feelings.
If you do find out that your teen is drinking or abusing drugs, let him or her know that this behavior is illegal and unsafe and that it must stop immediately. If the abuse doesn't stop, then it's time to consider seeking professional counseling.

Stars light the path to Uni
17 January 2013
Benjamin Pope is preparing to start a PhD at the University of Sydney in 2013 after an amazing 2012 that saw him work with a Nobel Laureate, observe the work of world leaders in astrophysics and travel to an observatory in Hawaii.
Having completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, Ben spent 2012 finalising his honours thesis, for which he received a University medal, and spent part of the year on exchange to the University of California, Berkeley.
"My exchange at Berkeley solidified my intention to pursue astronomy as a career," says Ben. "I had the opportunity to work for the Infrared Spatial Interferometer group, headed by Nobel Laureate Charles H Townes: it was a rare privilege to gain laboratory experience in laser applications under the technology's inventor."
At high school Ben was more interested in classics and languages, and his interest in stargazing wasn't piqued until discovering he was shortsighted. However, once he wore glasses for the first time and saw the breathtaking night sky, his perception changed forever. Ben's high-school science teacher then combined his interests in science and history, convincing him to enrol in Science and Arts at the University of Sydney.
"The example of those who've taught me has cemented the importance of nurturing the individual interests of students and helping them find the right field to kindle their excitement", says Ben, even though he didn't start out with a career in astrophysics in mind.
Initially concerned that he wasn't up for the challenge after a long and frustrating series of astronomy observations, Ben realised that he'd learned more from his setbacks than his successes. With this fresh perspective he went on to major in Physics, and when the opportunity for exchange presented itself, chose Berkeley for its reputation in this field. Focusing his honours thesis on helping telescopes see specific things better, further away, Ben says his experience at the Mt Wilson Observatory in southern California gave him a "humbling feeling of fellowship with the researchers of the past."
"I was so thrilled to be working in a field that's discovering in nature what was previously only found in science fiction," he says of the experience.
As he prepares for his PhD, Ben believes we're in the midst of a revolution in astronomy. "For the first time in history astronomy can deliver hard data on the questions of how many planets there are in the galaxy," says Ben, "what they are like, how they develop - and most excitingly - whether any of them are habitable or may harbour life. This project is arguably one of the most exciting in modern science and I am very keen to play my part in this endeavour".

With stack loads of players set to make their World Cup debut next year, which players will make the biggest impact.
5. Lucas Moura – Paris Saint Germain – Brazil
Another world class export from Brazil, Lucas Moura signed for Paris Saint Germain last August for a whopping £38million.
Starring so far this season, Lucas took a while to adapt to the European game, but now he has there's no stopping the 21-year-old.
Known for his blistering pace, fantastic dribbling and tricky footwork, Moura has earned his place on this list.
4. Paul Pogba – Juventus – France
Strong, delicate on the ball and a rip roaring shot, Paul Pogba is the complete holding midfielder.
Despite being only 20, Pogba is already a key component in the Juventus team that has one the last three Serie A titles. Not as glamorous as the aforementioned Isco and Gotze, Pogba has improved dramatically over the last two years, and is sure to go right to the top of football.
3. Isco – Real Madrid – Spain
The Spanish midfielder is fast. A wonderful picker of passes and a tricky dribbler as well. Isco moved to Real Madrid this summer for £23 million and what a signing it can prove to be.
Not yet in Spain's squad, it will not be long before Isco is challenging players like David Silva and Santi Cazorla for the attacking midfield role, perhaps even by next year's World Cup.
2. Mario Gotze – Bayern Munich – Germany
One of the most promising young players in the world, Mario Gotze made the move to Bayern Munich from rivals Borussia Dortmund in 2013 for over £30 million.
The 21-year-old made his debut in the 2009/10, coming on in the 88th minute for Jakub Błaszczykowski. He made five appearances that season but was not able to find the net. In the following season he appeared 33 times, grabbing six goals in the process.
In the two following seasons he became a regular for Dortmund contributing to a fantastic season in 2012/13. The German earned himself a move to giants Bayern Munich where an important season awaits for the playmaker.
1. Neymar – Barcelona - Brazil
With fantastic ball control, a ferocious shot and rapid footwork, Neymar is possibly the most promising player on the planet.
Snapped up by Barcelona this summer for £48 million, Neymar is arguably the most skilful player in the world.
After being the main man for Brazil in this summer's Confederations Cup, Neymar will hope to hit the ground running in Europe and prove he can live up to his potential.
It will be the player's first time competing in Europe's elite competition, providing him with the perfect platform to demonstrate his qualities.

Malaysian-style BBQ Seafood
BBQ Clams using sambal, a popular chili based from Malaysia and Indonesia
1 small bottle of store-bought sambal oelek, 8oz
2 medium-sized onion, quartered
5-in ginger
1-2 stalks lemongrass, white part only, grated
1 tablespoon toasted belacan powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons tamarind juice (extract from tamarind pulp and water)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 cup sugar
2. Heat up the oil in the wok on medium high heat. Put the above the ground ingredients A in. Keep stirring for about 10 minutes.
3. Add water, tomato paste, tamarind juice, salt, and sugar. Continue stirring for another 10 minutes. Add more salt or sugar to taste. Dish out and set aside.
My good friends Farina and Michael came over to visit last week and we made some Malaysian-style BBQ seafood, inspired by this popular hawker fare in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia.
They are called Portuguese-style baked seafood. There is really nothing Portuguese about it but Malaysia do have some Portuguese descendants because Malacca was a Portuguese colony in the 16th century.
So perhaps this is how they bake their seafood—with fiery sambal, okras, and wrapped with aluminum foil.
Farina and I enjoyed our BBQ so much. As Malaysians, we concluded that this is probably the best way to serve seafood BBQ-style. Our favorite is the BBQ clams with sambal and okras. It was simply lip smackingly delicious.
To prepare these mouthwatering Malaysian-style BBQ, all you need are your favorite seafood and shellfish: shimp, squid, fish (we like stingray or white pomfret), clams, and some okras.
Mix the seafood of your choice (you can also do a seafood combination) with sambal, okra, and wrap the aluminum foil tightly (preferably two layers to avoid leakage), and off onto the grill. That's it.
Try this new recipe this summer. You will not be disappointed!

The Pakistan Cricket Board has postponed a tour to Zimbabwe in December in anticipation of a bilateral one-day series against India.
A senior official of the board told Reuters that under the future tour programme of the International Cricket Council, Pakistan were due to visit Zimbabwe for a test and one-day series in December.
"But since it is too close to the series against India we have informed the Zimbabwe authorities the tour should be held sometime next year," the official said.
Pakistan have been invited by the Indian board to play three one-day internationals and two T20 matches in December.
Bilateral cricket between the nuclear-armed neighbours were snapped after the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were killed. India blame Pakistan-based militants for the incident.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars in the past 65 years, and the already fragile relations were further strained when gunmen attacked two upmarket hotels, a busy railway terminal and a fashionable cafe in Mumbai.
The last series between the two sides was Pakistan's tour of India in 2007 although Pakistan travelled to India to play the 50-over World Cup semi-final in Mohali last year.

Katherine Galbraith is a nationally recognized artist who has received numerous awards and recognition throughout her career. She has held many one woman shows and has established herself, first in New England, and later in the Southeast, as an artist of distinction. Her sales have been impressive, and her numerous collectors follow her career with enthusiasm. She has exhibited throughout the United States, in galleries from New York to California. Her success as a portrait artist is evident as her clients return repeatedly to have Katherine paint members of their families. Katherine's clients include President George H W Bush, leaders of society, heads of corporations, religious institutions, hotels, writers, athletes, and presidents of colleges and other academic institutions.
A native of Memphis, TN, Katherine's parents encouraged her artistic talent and enrolled her in the Memphis Art Academy. As her talent blossomed, she began private studies in classical realism and portraiture. She received her first portrait commission at age 12 and has been painting portraits ever since. When she was 15, her family moved to Westchester County, NY. There she pursued art and portraiture through high school and college, receiving the Fine Arts Award from Bronxville High School, and the Outstanding Achievement in Art Award from Bradford College. After college Katherine decided to pursue art as a profession. She attended the National Academy Museum School of Fine Art on a full merit scholarship where she studied portraiture under Daniel Greene, NA and Impressionism under Robert Phillip, NA.
Katherine began her professional career, first in New York and then in Boston, where she was represented by Fine Art Unlimited in Chestnut Hill, MA. She then moved to Atlanta, GA, where she continued to paint portraits exclusively, first being represented by The Picture House Gallery and later by Artist Representative, Anne Irwin. Anne convinced Katherine that she should branch out into other areas besides portraiture. Katherine began painting florals, seascapes, still life, landscapes, various animals, both winged and four-footed, and commissioned pieces which were received with enthusiasm by her collectors. Over the next several years Katherine began exhibiting in galleries in St. Simon's Island, GA, Boston, MA, Washington, DC, Raleigh, NC, Boca Raton, FL, and Carmel, CA. Katherine exhibited at The Left Bank Art Gallery on St. Simon's Island, GA for 30 years. Katherine has been commissioned by The Sea Island Club, the Ritz Carlton Hotels, and the University of Georgia, to name just a few.
In 2008 Katherine married Robert Galbraith and moved to Pittsburgh, PA. There she continued to be represented by The Left Bank Art Gallery on St. Simon's Island, GA, as well as Eclectic Art Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA.
Katherine gives priority to portraiture and studio work and feels her best work is done over a longer period of time. Katherine also enjoys attending the occasional plein air event and has won awards in every plein air event she has attended. In 2013 Katherine established
Plein Air Westfield in Westfield, NY as a service to her community. She continues to devote her time to portraiture, studio painting and some plein air, primarily in New York and Pennsylvania where she and her husband maintain homes.
Katherine's major one-woman shows include events in Bronxville, NY; Raleigh, NC; Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; St. Simons Island, GA; Sea Island, GA; and Pittsburgh, PA. Her work has been juried into numerous national and regional shows.
Katherine's work has been featured in national magazines and newspapers including International Artist, Art of the Portrait, Outdoor Painter, Veranda, Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, Where: Boston, and has often appeared in Coastal Living and Coastal Illustrated. Her work was favorably compared to John Singer Sargent's in a review of her one woman show in Raleigh, NC.
In May, 2013 she opened The Station Art Gallery & Studio of Katherine Galbraith, located in the restored New York Central Passenger Depot in Westfield, NY. There, Katherine hosts Plein Air Westfield during the summer months. She continues to teach workshops in portraiture and plein air painting. In 2015 Katherine received and accepted an invitation to serve on the board of Visual Arts at the Chautauqua Institution, a highly regarded steering committee for the arts in the Chautauqua community. Katherine is dedicated to advancing the arts in her community and teaching, as well as continuing to strive for excellence in her own work.

The glomerular basement membrane is the part of the kidney that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies are
Alternative Names
GBM antibody test; Antibody to human glomerular basement membrane; Anti-GBM antibodies
How the Test is Performed
Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is used to diagnose certain kidney diseases, such as
Normal Results
Normally, there are none of these antibodies in the blood.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
- Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
Goodpasture syndrome
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks:
Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

The young generation is the proactive part of the global society. We, the young people, are interested in planning and shaping our own future as well as the future of next generations.

On October 4, 2010, on the Island of Rhodes in Greece, 150 energetic young people gathered to attend the first Rhodes Youth Forum. They came from 34 different countries to listen to reports and to talk about issues the world's social development. During the forum participants discussed questions concerning everyday life which young people often do not ponder: "How do young people see their future? What differences exist in the worldviews of young people from different countries and regions of the world? What can be done to pave the way towards a better future?" As the result of the Rhodes Youth Forum a new initiative to create an organization that could continue to support the activities of the youth on the ongoing basis was launched. This new international youth movement was officially founded on December 11, 2010 in Prague. The Prague manifesto of Youth Time specified the guiding principles of the new international movement. The name of the movement, "Youth Time", refers to the years of the youth as the happiest and most active period of life. Young people should use it properly in order to do their best for their own future and the future of older and younger generations.
About us
Youth Time is an internationally oriented non-profit, non-political organization which actively represents a platform of dialogue between cultures and generations. We inspire and engage young people from all over the world, by encouraging them to develop their social leadership skills as well as to take upon their civil responsibility. Youth Time provides opportunities to take part in various projects, to help youth acquire new knowledge and skills in social and public sphere as well as to built up relations with other young social leaders.
Our vision
The younger generation takes the most active role in shaping our global community. Young people want to see and create a wealthy future for themselves and for the generations to come. We call for the youth to be aware of the current global issues and be pro-active when it comes to solving them. We would like to encourage active, open, and equal dialogue among the youth worldwide; to preserve national and cultural identity while valuing unity and diversity; and to facilitate the process of sharing knowledge, experience, and values between generations.
Our mission
We work on drafting, implementing, and synchronizing projects that aim for a better future in different spheres, primarily by establishing an active dialogue between and within generations, and by motivating the youth to be more active in their own lives and in public life.
Our goals
• Creating a network and platform for promoting the values and principles of the Youth Time International Movement;
• Stimulating an active intercultural dialogue and dialogue between generations based on the principles of openness, respect, and equality;
• Facilitating the acquisition of knowledge, values, and experience through exchanges between generations;
• Preserving national and cultural identities even though we recognize universal and indigenous values;
• Understanding the global challenges facing today's youth;
• Inviting young people to promote the values and principles of the Youth Time International Movement;
• Establishing contacts and promoting cooperation between the Youth Time International Movement and other friendly organizations.

Dominic Turcotte necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 134 diseños de 43 diseñadores freelance.
Korotkina - Exquisite Jewelry Collections
A high-end Jeweler and Diamond designer in Chicago's famous Jeweler's row. Launching a new marketing campaign targetting retail stores.
We are looking for something sophisticated and elegant. We would like to explore some options that make use of Alina's initials. It needs to be a logo that can be embossed onto her jewelry in some way as a signature or have an element in the logo that can be embossed. It needs to be easy to emboss onto a clasp or inside a ring. A lot of Alina's work consists of custom one of a kind jewelry but her line of jewelry will soon be included in high end department stores and jewelry retailers. Although the designer will be referenced on the website as Alina Korotkina, the brand and the jewelry need to be recognized by the brand itself – ie. "My necklace is a Korotkina" . Logo must be elegant and simple by design, yet exude passion. She does not just focus on diamond jewelry but all high-end facets of gemstones and precious metals. The designer is from Russia. We would like the symbol to be recognizable without Korotkina. Logo should be designed in a way that could be animated with motion graphics. Make sure that logo can facilitate a tagline, feel free to incorporate one into the logo.
We've attached an image of her existing logo.
What we like about her current logo: The ease of embossing it onto Jewelry, the ease of the brand name because it has the initials.
What we don't like about her current logo: It looks like a spider, at first glance it is not discernable as an "A" and a "K"

The 15 Most Ridiculous Things Conservative Media Said About Climate Change In 2015
Research ››› ››› KEVIN KALHOEFER
From Pope Francis' encyclical on climate change, to the establishment of the first-ever federal limits on carbon pollution from power plants, to a landmark international climate agreement, 2015 has been full of major landmarks in national and global efforts to address global warming. Yet you wouldn't know it if you inhabited the parallel universe of the conservative media, where media figures went to ridiculous and outrageous lengths to dismiss or deny climate science, attack the pope, scientists, and anyone else concerned with climate change, and defend polluting fossil fuel companies. Here are the 15 most ridiculous things conservative media said about climate change in 2015.

My name is Juhani, I'm a newbie in here and I'm from Finland.
Currently working on a TA22 that is a mess. It should have been a "Easy Project", but it is Pretty poor patchwork of art and some rust problems.
Some would have dispose it, but I'm going to finish it.
To mention some problem areas:
- Both front strut towers were toast and poorly patched:
Both door bottom were badly patched, had to weld these again:
Also left quarter was replaced By someone and it was welded to wrong Place!
Something good:
- Boths sills were replaced and I think they are quite good.
- Frame underneath seams reasonable.
Currently working on getting the trunk welded and to get the quarter welded in the right Place. Then it is the primer paint and bondo work to be done.
Anyways, good to be here and to have more knowledge from Early celicas.
Going to read other users Projects to get some motivation to work on my own.
BR, Juhani

Touka Gettan (Game by ROOT)
I understand that its usual to ask questions about game-based series in the thread that discusses the series. I tried to watch it, but it eventually diverged too much from what the game appeared to depict (I'm basing this on the CG collection of the game) and got too fanservicey for my taste.
Since the anime doesn't seem to be the place to go to get questions about what the game was about answered, I thought I'd get some more answers here. I know some users here have played it, as since I've seen it being mentioned in "the favourite eroge" thread. If some of those users might be so gracious as to share their knowledge with fans like me who who like visual novels but have no knowledge of Japanese, I (and the rest of the posters here who might fit that category) would be most grateful.
There are SPOILERS from here on in. Please remember that the little I can divine from game comes from the CG pack.
Spoiler for Touka Gettan:
I think those questions will do for now. I'll ask more if someone is so kind as to answer my current questions. Why not share the wealth?

Alright, I have the game and I started playing it today. My Japanese skills leave much to be desired, but I think I have a very general grasp of what's going on. The music is awesome.
That's all for today. This is my first time playing a visual novel, so I'm very confused....

Wow, I never thought anyone would ever reply to my thread. Thank you.
Is "Gotanda Sachiko" the maid with the long blue hair? She shows up in a very odd CG where she and Nene are serving tea to Touka and Haruhiko--while wearing PLAYBOY BUNNY costumes. Hope you fill us in on the rest of the details!

Looking better and better. Keep us posted.
I'm still at a loss as to why Nene wasn't given her own ending though. And I KNOW that there have been more than a few people on this forum who have played the game; why can't they contribute to this thread as well?
Kaifu Atsuko has a rather interesting speech sample at the game's main site, something that starts with "Eh? Honto ni . . . " Maybe someone could translate it here.

Today's installment:
Mazryonh, you should give the anime another try. It's really beautiful and modern. I really, really liked it, and I was curious how this story turned out, so I got my hands on the game and started to play. It has fanservice, but it's hardly as H as the game CG's.
Touka in Touka Gettan - 桃華
Touka the person - 桃香
Touka in Touka Academy - 桃歌
Momoka - 桃花
Too many of them....

Yeah, I was wondering as to why there was a CG in game featuring Nene kicking Touka into what looked like water.
I ditched the TG anime because while it had a fair share of Glitz and Flash, I didn't like the amount of yuri (something I've never had a taste for) and the fanservice didn't quite work with me. Things like the inclusion of the Yamibou cast just screamed "LOOK AT THIS!" in the wrong way to me (and I didn't quite like Yamibou either).
Then there's the matter of the art. I know that making every frame of the anime look as good as Carnelian's original art is nearly impossible (in fact, the closest I've seen is probably the H-OVA for Kao no nai tsuki), but the more I looked at it the more it struck me as wrong or out of place with Carnelian's originals. I've looked at the Megami promotional art for the anime and somehow the eyes and hair (something which Carnelian often gets impeccably right) just turned me off.
I was also looking into the anime in the hope that it would provide answers as to what happened in the game. No luck there (in fact I think no anime based on Carnelian-illustrated games have ever stayed close to the plot of the originals). Just a quick look at the character selection screen for the game's official website shows lots of characters that never made it or were reduced to cameos for the anime (such as Asuna, Riko, Atsuko, etc.). Even Sei is pretty different in the game than she is in the anime (in fact I believe that Juna is purely an invention by the anime's creators). Since it didn't have the answers I was looking for, I saw no reason to keep watching the show.
Well, at least I do get to know the game in some small measure thanks to your generousity. Would that others would be so kind . . .

Different doesn't mean it's bad. The Touka Gettan anime is probably the most beautiful series I've seen so far. Exotic backgrounds, detailed costumes, the black and white episode, the play...I have a long list. The ending (...or the beginning if you want to think about it that way) was so beautiful that I almost cried, and I know I wasn't the only one. Plus, things are a lot more fun when they're in motion. So far, I think I've played maybe about one or two episodes' worth of the game, and the anime grabbed my attention much more because of the WTF factor.

I've made a list to help you guys put names to faces for the secondary characters here. If they were in the anime (with a few exceptions), then they're not here.
Spoiler for Lots of images:
Yes, Ken-chan was the thing I thought of first when I saw Urashima. The Thanks Disk update has new scenarios, so there's a chance Kikyou does appear in CG's now. I'm pretty sure she has her own character sprite thing though.
I might go play a little bit more tonight, so stay tuned.
I didn't really feel like it tonight, but here are a few videos to hold you over for a little bit (will be very busy next week).
Game commercial - it got stuck in my head last spring when I started watching my anime, and it popped up again when I finished

Thanks a lot! I finally know who the five "winnable girls" are!
That reminds me; there were a number of other characters not displayed in the character chart too, such as a man who looks suspiciously like Shouko's brother, or a man in a white suit and hat who talks to Yumiko in one CG.
Perhaps as you play on you'll discover why the characters wear eyeless masks at times, or why Fuu has no other facial expressions in her character files.

Wow, thanks. Has the game ever actually prompted you to make a choice like in Visual Novels?
I'm a little intrigued by Atsuko. According to the character pose files, she's only a part-time made, since there are CGs of her wearing the Touka Academy uniform.
How are you liking the art?

Just that one part in the beginning where I chose to go to different rooms, and that random fight. The rest is just clicking to continue. Nevermind. I got to an option thing right after I started playing today.
The art is...I don't know...Carnelian? Lots of pretty girls, everything seems to have an erotic touch and occasional lapses into chibi mode (but she's done hardcore yaoi games too, I think, so she can make bishies). The focus is definitely on the people, not the backgrounds, even in the CG's. The general backgrounds are kind of hazy looking. I haven't seen too many of those exotic backgrounds that I loved in the anime.
Haruhiko always seems to be either some sort of tsundere or just plain old grumpy.

Blah, everything that furigana is probably important, so I'll just keep track of it for myself here...

Oh, so the "blonde bombshell" Riko Futaba is a singer and priestess too? That would explain two of the CGs I've seen of her, one where she appears to be singing and another where she's doing a ceremonial dance in miko costume. Oddly enough, she seems to
Spoiler for Touka Gettan:
Is there actual singing by the heroine's voice actresses in this game? That would be awesome to witness firsthand.

The Lions didn't make any big offseason moves for a receiver to play opposite Calvin Johnson in their offense, which means that they're going to lean on two of the guys who tried to provide some offensive balance last year before getting injured.
Ryan Broyles is making good progress in his return from a torn ACL and Nate Burleson was able to practice with his teammates during OTAs, which should mean they fill the second and third spots in the depth chart barring further physical setbacks. Burleson's injury cost the team a needed veteran piece on offense, something that head coach Jim Schwartz said makes his return to health all the better.
"He means a lot to our football team," Schwartz said, via the team's website. "It's important to have him out there for our offense for a lot of reasons. Number one he's a good player, he brings something to the equation that goes beyond what his playing ability is. He still probably isn't 100-percent, but a lot of guys aren't 100-percent right now, but he's able to do able to do what he can out there and it's a good time of year."
Burleson has played all the receiver spots in the Lions offense, so he'll be a frequent presence on the offense whether or not Broyles winds up formally taking the No. 2 job during training camp. With Johnson also on the field, there should be plenty of balls thrown his way as well.
