QPR 0-0 Tottenham – Lilywhites Misfire As Harry's Hoops Gain Vital Point (Photos & Highlights)
By Alan Duffy
Queens Park Rangers 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur – Premier League – 12th January 2013
Against his former club, Harry Redknapp oversaw a fine draw at Loftus Road, after his side battled hard to keep AVB's Tottenham at bay.
Veteran glovesman Julio Cesar was in fine form against the Lilywhites, making a number of superb saves to thwart attempts from Jermain Defoe (on more than one occasion) and Emmanuel Adebayor amongst others.
At the other end of the pitch, Shaun Wright-Phillips had a couple of good chances in either half to open the scoring for the west Londoners, but ultimately, a point against Spurs will be welcomed by Redknapp and his Premier League strugglers.

Sushi restaurants are immensely popular in the residential neighborhoods of Golden Gate Park and the Haight [1]. Koo (408 Irving St., 415/731-7077, www.sushikoo.com [2], Tues.–Thurs. 5:30–10:30 p.m., Fri.–Sat. 5:30–11 p.m., Sun. 5–10 p.m., $30–50) is a favorite in the Sunset. While sushi purists are happy with the selection of nigiri and sashimi, lovers of fusion and experimentation love the small plates and unusual rolls the chef/owner creates to delight his diners.
Complementing the Japanese cuisine is a small but scrumptious list of premium sakes. Only the cheap stuff is served hot, as high-quality sake is always chilled.

Tougher rules for young drivers coming down the pipe in Ontario and New Brunswick are "smart laws" that help keep everybody safe on the road, says the local president of MADD Canada.
Proposed new rules in Ontario give zero tolerance for impaired driving, speeding and other infractions, and put tighter restrictions on drivers 21 and under. These rules are very similar to changes that come into effect in New Brunswick next spring.
"These are changing times and whenever you make changes you are going to get resistance, but if it is a good idea and it saves lives, people will go along with it," Moncton lawyer Chris Nagle said yesterday.
While some young drivers may feel they are being unfairly painted with a big brush, Nagle said tougher laws are for the good of everyone.
"These are smart laws that address a well-known fact that it takes a while for people to learn how to operate a vehicle, that it takes a while for people to deal with liquor responsibly and it takes a while to learn to multitask while driving."

With warm weather just around the corner, we're getting even closer to the Best 4th of July Celebration around! This year's theme is "There's no place like home!"
To register for Independence's 153rd 4th of July Parade, download the registration form.
Greetings everyone, spring is almost here (so I'm told) and construction season is starting to take off. Here's what happening in the City of Independence
20th Avenue Widening Project – City recently awarded the bid to widen 20th Avenue to River City Paving. This project will allow turning lanes in the area adjacent to the new Jr./Sr. High school to allow for increased traffic. The project should take only a few weeks to complete and traffic will be able to flow during construction. City received grant funds through the Federal Surface Transportation Program to assist in the project. Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program – The 2011 awarded Community Development Block Grant for rehabilitating existing housing stock continues with the bidding of three more homes. To date three homes have been completed with a total of at least ten homes planned for rehabilitation. The focus area for this grant is an area in the north central portion of the community. If you own and live in a home in this area of town and are interested in the program please let me know. Income guidelines apply and applicants must qualify to take part in the program.
Infrastructure/Pedestrian Safety/Trails – We have put a focus on not only improving the infrastructure in the community but the health of our citizens as well. City recently approved development of a street improvement plan which will help determine street construction and replacement which will be implemented over a multiple year period. Concerns over improving safe routes for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles are all issues that we are working to improve. The city has received grant funding to implement the "Iowans Fit For Life", which is designed to assist in making Independence a healthier place to live in many different facets.
Airport Master Plan & Zoning Updates – City is working towards updating the master plan for the airport. A number of upgrades have been completed to the facility over the years which has made airport able to accept larger aircraft as well as make it more desirable as a place to land for pilots. Updating the master plan allows the City to plan for future development of the airport and grounds for future needs
Comprehensive Plan update – One of our next major tasks will be updating the comprehensive plan for the City. This plan is the backbone of how the community plans to develop. The City Council will be considering approval of a proposal to update this plan which will take approximately 18 months to complete.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at City Hall at 319-334-2780 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Have a great day!
Blue Star Applications are available here.

FILE - In this Aug. 31, 2012 file photo, fighters from Islamist group Ansar Dine stand guard in Timbuktu, Mali, as they prepare to publicly lash a member of the Islamic Police found guilty of adultery. In recent months, al-Qaida and its allies have taken advantage of political instability within Mali to push out of their hiding place and into the towns, taking over an enormous territory which they are using to stock arms, train forces and prepare for global jihad. And as 2012 draws to a close and the world hesitates, delaying a military intervention, the extremists who seized control of the area earlier this year are preparing for a war they boast will be worse than the decade-old struggle in Afghanistan.

Mt. Ararat wins regional gospel competition in D.C., finals in Detroit
Category: Lifestyle Published on Thursday, 15 October 2009 09:50
Their name says it all—they ripped the place apart to its mere "remnants." The Remnant Concert Choir of Mt. Ararat Baptist Church rode out of our nation's capital with two checks worth $15,000 Sept. 24 at the "How Sweet the Sound" Gospel Music Competition presented by Verizon Wireless.
They were selected as the overall winner of the regional competition as they beat out four other choirs in the large choir division.
"To be honest, I am still numb about the whole thing," said Trini Massie, choral director of the Remnant Concert Choir. "I am left humble and (ecstatic), really a multitude of emotions."
They ministered in front of an audience of more than 11,000 at the Verizon Center in Downtown D.C. The selection of song was plain and simple as they went with the classic hymn, "Blessed Assurance."
Lisa Kimmey-Winans, a blogger for the competition, described their performance in a blog on the "How Sweet the Sound" website:
"They sang and the choir director had them do this swell, and that was it. The whole audience was shouting! They had it all…Dynamics, personality, choreography and drama! They pulled out all the tricks and it was like nothing I'd ever seen. What I loved the most was their sincerity; they really communicated and told 'their story' to the audience. It was quite amazing."
The program is slated to air in the future on BET and is currently on an 11-city tour in search of the next gospel choir. Two of the gospel industry's finest; Donald Lawrence (show's host) and Marvin Sapp (judge) performed as a part of the festivities. Washington, D.C., is one of 11 regional cities in which the competition makes stops in route to its finale in Detroit Nov. 7. These cities include Houston, St. Louis, Newark, Philadelphia, Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles and Oakland.
"It was ministry first and competition second," said Massie. "Our town is known for so many other things, now it can be known for Jesus. I'd like to give a special thanks to Pastor William H. Curtis and Min. Dwayne Fulton for all of their help, love and support."
If you'd like to see for yourself the ins and outs of the competition, log on to it's website at www.howsweetthesound.com.

Lode Runner, originally developed by Broderbund in 1983, was one of the first games to fuse arcade with puzzle elements. Now you can enjoy reworked classics with Lode Runner series by ZX Games. The first episode features the very first 75 levels introduced in 1983. The rules of the game remain unchanged: collect treasures, dig traps for enemies (a.k.a Bungelings) that are trying to hunt you down and move up the screen to get to the next level. Refer to Lode Runner Manual for detailed description. Infinite lives let you enjoy the game. Quick save & load help you challenge difficult levels. There is level editor for you to get creative. You can easily browse through levels to edit and/or play them over. You will definitely appreciate smooth control, which lets you focus on the game, not on figuring out how to mount a ladder. Switch between full-screen and window modes at your convenience.

Once upon a time, in a strange and mysterious place called Hollywood, a group of energetic producers became fascinated with children's fairy tales. They huffed and puffed and blew up the millions of dollars in cash needed to turn these children's stories into epic action events.
The latest grim look at a Grimm story is "Snow White and the Huntsman," featuring the ever-dour Kristen Stewart and the charismatic Chris Hemsworth. Just like in the fairy tale of yore, it's the Wicked Queen -- played with psychotic passion by Charlize Theron -- who steals the show.
Director Rupert Sanders loads this very dark version with all the traditional elements: a talking mirror that strokes egos like a Hollywood agent; a group of vertically challenged heroes; the powerful effects of a true love's kiss; and the battle between the Wicked Queen and Snow White. One big change is that the Huntsman, who in the original tale faked Snow White's death, turns into her full-time protector.
In another twist, the script by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock and Hossein Amini includes dark elements of religion, sadomasochism, narcissism and oppression to give the film a tone that's too mature for youngsters.
It starts with Theron's commanding performance. Her Queen is not just power-hungry, but driven by a deep hatred for all men. It's not just enough to seduce her way to power, but she has to do it by emasculating any male who gets in her way.

Pondo grad tapped for AF Academy
By Rosemary Revell
Democrat staff writer
Jordan Rader, 18, of Shingle Springs has received an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. In addition, he has been recruited for the academys water polo team.
Rader, a graduate of Ponderosa High School in Shingle Springs, became interested in attending college at the Air Force Academy at the end of his freshman year.
My parents really supported the idea, Rader said.
I started the application process at the end of my sophomore year on the Internet. I filled out an application of interest, he said.
Rader indicated that the application of interest was merely the first step in what he called a long process.
After indicating his interest, Rader began receiving materials from the Air Force Academy.
At the end of my junior year, I really got serious. he said.
In the September of his senior year, Rader had an interview with an admission liaison officer.
The interview lasted for three and a half hours because we started discussing all kinds of things, like water polo, not just the interview topics, said Rader who appeared to have found the interview entertaining and fun as opposed to stressful.
When I went through CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment), they were impressed with my basketball throw, how far I threw the ball. The water polo coach was impressed by my swimming time. I got the call in November that I was recruited for the water polo team, and shortly after that, I got the congressional nomination from Congressman Tom McClintock, Rader said.
Rader said that he will receive his education, room and board and a monthly pay allowance as well as medical and dental care.
While Im at the academy, my days will be completely scheduled. Ill have classes in the morning, three hours of water polo practice in the afternoon while the others are in physical education, and then study in the evenings, Rader said.
Rader is planning on majoring in either military strategic studies or space operation and after four years will earn a Bachelor of Science degree at the academy. He will graduate as a commissioned officer.
After graduation, hopefully I will have qualified for pilot training. I want to fly. Thats my plan, said Rader.
Water polo
Rader started swimming when he was 6 years old and playing water polo in the seventh grade. He became a starter on the Ponderosa water polo team in the ninth grade.
I received two individual records on the high school team, and I was part of three relays that were record breaking, said Rader.
Rader stated that in the four years he attended Ponderosa, the water polo team rewrote the entire mens record board.
There are no records older than 2009, so at least we are leaving a little legacy behind, Rader said and added that seven of the high school records he broke together with his best friend Ryan Pickett were league records.
Had Rader not been committed to college education at a military academy, he had other options. He has been accepted at the University of California, Davis, been offered a scholarship at the University of the Pacific in Stockton and been admitted to Occidental College in Anaheim and offered a place on Occidentals water polo team.
Had I not been accepted at the academy, I would have done ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) somewhere. Im just happy Ill come out the best officer I can possibly be, Rader said.
Rader is the son of Bill and Connie Rader of Shingle Springs.

Ask Denny Seiwell a Question
"Please note that inappropriate questions will not be answered."
"Please note that inappropriate questions will not be answered."
Hey Denny! Just wanted to ask, do you have any special moments or memories from the recording/writing of Red Rose Speedway? My favorite Wings album! You're the best thanks Denny!
HI Will, sure plenty of fond moments….we recorded at several studios and also worked with Glynn Johns on several tracks….we had a lot of fun doing things like switching instruments….henry played drums, I played , bass, which I dont really play, sax, and trumpet. It was a lot of fun and we were becoming a real band, and had history together…I could go on and on, but it was a great time
Hi Denny
I'm wondering if you've heard/seen Ardy Saraff's Paul McCartney's tribute performances as Wingsband. Wingsband is basically the A-list Beatles tribute band Fab Four doing an all-Wings set.
Here's a clip of "Jet"
What do you think of Tribute bands in general?
yes in fact I played with them at the Grove in Anaheim for an event and also at the Hollywood Bowl. sat in for a few tunes and they are very good. I'm not a fan of tribute bands in general, but there seems to be a need for them.
For me, the creative of part of making the music come to life is the magic of it all…..repeating someone's parts does not interest me …..
Denny, I was wondering if I hear you singing anywhere on Ram or any of Paul's early songs. Often, he has some spoken word stuff and was thinking maybe you had some presence there. Also, was listening to "Wide Prarie" today and thought maybe you had played on some of those songs as well.
Thanks Denny. 'Ve always been a huge fan
Hi John,
I did not sing on Ram at all, but did a few background vocals on Red Rose Speedway. Little lamb dragonfly is the trackk where I can be heard best…although my voice is more like a fog horn than a singer's voice. I did play
on Wild Prarie…you have a good ear….
I read somewhere you wrote a bit of Little Lamb Dragonfly. It's honestly a really nice, delicate piece, one of my favorites. Have you ever performed that live? For whatever reason I always thought it sounded more like a RAM song than a Red Rose Speedway song. Just the personal quality of the recording I guess. Thanks, great website you have.
I wouldn't be so bold as to say that i WRPTE apart of it,, but I did help Paul complete some of the song one day while we were at Trident studios in London, by finishing some background vocal parts. I guess that is writing , but really nothing as creative as the main lyric Little lamb Dragonfly was written for the Rupert the Bear cartoon that Paul wanted to make into a film one day….WE have never performed it live….it is a great song, and needs to be in a set …dont forget to peek in on MUSINQ.com….our new lineup is complete with Davey Johnstone ( Elton John band), Steve Porcaro, studio- Toto, as well as
soundtrack composer, Lee Sklar (everyone)…Lenny Castro studio ( everyone)
and yours truly…Our new launch is right around the corner…tell your friends to check in and ask questions of the PROS….
Glyn Johns is just one of the great producers you have worked with during your career, you probably learned a lot about musical productions as well. Did it help while working on your side projects?
Glyn got one of the best drum sounds I ever had, and yes I learned a bunch from his production techniques, but Paul taught me more than any of the producers I worked with and some were greats….like Andrew Oldham, Leon Russell , Richard Perry,Phil Ramone, Brooks Arthur, Desmond Childs and so many more….
When Paul last played in São Paulo/Brazil (2010) he told he was surprised on how Brazilian (and south American) fans responded to Wings songs. Did you have the chance to visit South America or plan to do that?
I would LOVE to come to Brazil again…I was there in 1963 with a Navy Band….we were in Salvador, Bahia, Recife, Rio, Puerto Allegre , and it was one of my fondest memories. The Music absolutely influenced my rock drumming.
I am known as a drummer that specializes in Brazilian music, and if you tell your fans to go to my website.www.dennyseiwell.com, they can buy my trio(Denny Seiwell Trio) CD "Reckless Abandon", which is also on itunes….we do quite a few tunes with the bossa . / samba influence. I played with AStrud Gilberto back in 1970 just before meeting Paul, and Brazilian music is always a part of me…I'd drop everything to come to Brazil to play music…
Would be happy to help you packing to play in Brazil again. Until that happen, tell more about Denny Seiwell Trio and your plans for 2013.
the trio is made up of Joe Bagg on organ, John Chiodini on guitar and me….we have a facebook page dennyseiwelltrio…plz tell your friends to visit it, and the 1st cd is available on itunes,….we are starting our 2nd cd very soon. we thought it would be a good idea to use some McCartney tunes since I am known as his drummer …so we do oour versions of Coming Up, DEar Friend, Bip Bop, Loup, and Every Nite on the Reckless Abandon cd.
if you go to youtube, and type in Denny Seiwell Trio Live at Vitello's, you can see 4 or 5 clips of the band playing live….enjoy
I'll certainly share this with brazilian fans, really is great stuff. The versions you made were beatiful. Well, thanks for your time, Denny, hope someday you make that recording trip to Rio that Wings were planing before choosing Lagos. C'mon, I Know that is the real reason you decided to leave Wings! You're always welcome in Brazil, and was an honor to interview you. Any last words for the readers of Wings Over Brazil?
glad you like our versions of Paul MCCartney tunes….with a Brazilian flare….we are about to record our next CD which will include a tune called "Curumim" one of my favorite tunes…go to youtube and type in Denny Seiwell trio Live at Vitellos to see videos of the band and hear Curumim as well…
Hi Denny, would like to start knowing your thoughts about the most recent facts involving Wings.
Henry's family and friends are preparing a benefit concert to help in his treatment. I must admit I started thinking in a possibility to see you, Denny Laine and Paul at stage together, again. Is this something possible? Not exactly a Wings reunion, but kind of "hey, this guys were part of WIngs and now there are playng this Elvis song together." Do you think it will ever happen?
Paul McCartney is reissuing his after-Beatles albuns, including Wings ones. Are you involved with this process? Do you have some rare Wings material that intend to release someday too? It would be nice to watch more live concerts, there are some bootlegs with good quality but most of the don't have video.
Still talking about bootlegs, do you download some of them secretely?
Thanks for your question. I don't know of anything being planned regarding a benefit for Henry. I doubt that the remaining Wings would play together even for an event like a benefit for Henry's treatment..But you never know.
I am not involved with the releases of Paul's past albums, however I did quite a few interviews about the re-issue of the RAM album. I do not have any rare stuff that I could release, and if did would need Paul's permission anyway, and I do not download bootlegs….once in a while a fan sends me a bootleg copy of a show from one of our tours, but that is about it. Facebook has clips every once on a while.
It seems that this is the moment of big bands reunion tour. What do you think about that? Is this relevant or whatever happened in the past should stay there?
I don't think so….I talked to Paul about a Wings reunion shortly after Linda passed, and he was into it for the moment, but after thinking about it, he said " doing a wings reunion without linda, would be like doing a beatles reunion without john…i'm pretty sure he still feels that way
Well, I agree with you and Paul.
Talking about the albuns, Red Rose Speedway didn't have that "one-take recording" of Wild Life, but still sound like a simple and beatifull album (one of my favorites, by the way). When recording RAM you told once that you felt that it was a great album and the songs would be heard 50 years ahead. What were your impressions while recording Red Rose Speedway? Did you felt that it was part of something big, whitout knowing that Wings would close the 70′s as one of the most important bands of that period?
While we were doing RR Speedway, it was supposed to be a double album, and the material was great, but not as great as Ram in my opinion, and the band had become a better band after the time on tour etc…It was a good record, but lacked something that the Ram album had. We also used Glyn Johns on some of the tracks for RR Speedway , which was really nice. It didn't work out to have Glyn produce all of the tracks tho…unfortunately. I loved his production.
I didn't think that Wings would become as big as we did in that period of music history..
Hi Denny, On "Hi Hi Hi" do you recall I Paul said "polygon" or "body gun"?
it was polygon….which was why the bbc banned it in the uk…they heard body gub as well
Hello Denny
In june 1972, you were in Spain, near Benidorm to rehearse. Was it like holiday before the tour ? Was it fun ?
right …dom…we went to a town near alicante i think…it was more vacation than anything, and yes it was fun…
Hello Denny
Do you remember if you came to California with Wings in february 1972 to record some songs for the "Red Rose Speedway" sessions ?
HI Dom…no we did not record anything in california after the Ram album…Red Rose Speedway was all done in UK
Thanks John…yes a few memories of Glyn….His drum sound was one of the very best, and he only used 3 microphones on my drums…it was awesome. LOved his dedication to making it sound real…I met George during the Live and Let Die session, and was awe struck with the way he carried himself. A true English Gentleman , with a knowledge of music and orchestration that was superior. Paul and George made a great team when it came to orchestrations…Paul without music knowledge first hand would "voice " different sections of the piece by playing the harmonies and voicings on the piano , and George would put them all together in the arrangement. I am Glad to have witnessed that very special collaboration…
Hello Denny and happy Holydays.
Do you remember when you work on the first Billy Joel's album ?
Should be in 1971. Was it before you joined Wings.
Did you have the feeling he would make a great career like he did ?
HI Dominique……yes I was with Paul just after Ram, and maybe even during the forming of Wings when I recorded and produce several tracks with Billy. I'm not really sure of the exact time…. Michael Lang of Woodstock fame asked me to produce Billy. He sent me a demo of Billy…voice and piano….it was incredible, and I knew he would be a major force in the music world…both as a writer and performer. He really had it !!! As I recall we were setting up more dates to record, when Paul sent a message to me that I was needed in London to record HiHiHi.. so I left the project to get back to work with Wings. Billy was far above any of the new acts and some established ones of the time, and I'm proud to have been a part of his debut album Cold Spring Harbor, where some of my production and drumming took place.
Thanks John….actually I haven't but it has been suggested many times….I am keeping a chronological record of stories and memories for when the time comes…before the memory fails…..
best, denny
Hi Denny,
Another question for you about RAM. I read a comment by you that you weren't there for the 'sweetening dates' at A&R Studios in New York. Do you mean you were not there for all the sessions or only the overdub sessions with the New York Philharmonic? If you were there for some sessions what do you remember about A&R? Take care, Edward
actually Edward…I wasn"t there for any of the "sweetening" sessions at A&R. I was back to my daily grind of session work from 9am until late at nite as soon as I finished with Paul. I didn't get to hear the finished record until it was sent to me . We did have several dinners to kind of celebrate , but didn't really hear any finished product until it was finished., mixed ,mastered…. and pressed.
Hi Denny,
What do you remember about Paul working together with producer Jim Guercio at New York A&R Studios? Do you know why their working relationship didn't work out? Were you in the studio with Paul for the whole period at A&R in January and February of 1971?
It was in LA that Paul & Jim Guercio and I finished the track Dear Boy, and maybe 1 other track at Armin Steiner's studio…Sound Recorders. I am not sure why, but Paul didn't like some of Jim's ideas as to recording techniques, and
we finished our recording in LA without him. Thanks for the question
Thanks for your answer. What do you remember about the recording sessions at A&R in January and February 1971? Were you there the whole 6/7 weeks or on and off? I know that Hugh McCracken was not there, having finished his recording with Paul at CBS in November 1970… Were you present during the orchestral overdubs for Back Seat, Uncle Albert and Long Haired Lady?
My memories of LA were that we spent maybe a week or two in LA working at Armin Steiner's studio Sound Labs.I was the only musician form NY that Paul brought out . We attended the Grammys with the McCartneys during that period…that was awesome. The Beatles got a Grammy for Let It Be..it was my only time at a grammy ceremony. again I was not present for any of the orchestral sweetening dates, but knew and worked with all of the players , so I was constantly hearing about the dates….everyone loved the dates and the way Paul conducted the overdubs.
Not Really Cesar…all of the songs made it at sometime….sorry , but thanks for the question
Hi Denny, do you remember something about the song SOMETIME, SUNSHINE during the RAM sessions? Since I could hear a rhythm box or something, I wonder if you played on that track (maybe some percussion).
I kind oif remember using some African drums and clicking on the rims with a wooden stick….we built that track as we went, but basic was done with everyone playing at the same time and then a few overdubs to complete it.
thanks for the question Luca

Medaka Box I hate writing plot summaries so I'll shameless steal the text from the Anime Spotlight:
What you need to know: This series is based on a manga written by NisiOisin and Gainax is the animation production company in charge. Episode 1 Effin' loved it! Humour, fanservice, story-telling, and characters are all working big time for me. As with all NisiOisin material, there is a complete awareness of tropes being deployed and fresh spins on such. I am this show's helpless little bitch. |

Not too bad. This looks like it'll be a pretty faitful adaption of the source material and a couple of images showing THAT character in the opening are proof spoiler[ the action side of the series will stay in tact]
A word of warning though. spoiler[Anyone watching this series expecting a romantic comedy....you may want to leave now. ] Last edited by Divineking on Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:31 am; edited 1 time in total |

Can I ask a favour of manga readers out there? When I watch an anime, I want to know zero about it as I watch. I'd appreciate the hell out of it if you would put all info ... regardless of how trivial you may think it to be ... in spoiler tags. Thanks. | ||||||

Sorry. Just trying to give fair warning in advance. |

Another unrequited love, I presume? That's too bad. I liked the first episode. I did not quite like how it ended, I'm not sure why. Something felt off. But the episode was good. I laughed when Zenkichi called himself spoiler[a tsundere]. My only concern right now is how it will differ from SKET Dance, which I also follow. Both circle around the idea of people with expendable time dedicated to helping other students of the school. While the characters are totally different, since the plot is the same, I might find difficulty not comparing the two. Not to mention both play on humor above everything else. This one I'll definitely keep watching. |
Divineking Posts: 925 |
Actually it;s more along the lines of spoiler[ a rather massive genre shift ]. I should probably stop for now. You'll see for yourselves eventually. |
Blood- It...it's not like I post for you or anything! Posts: 10948 Location: Toronto (avatar: Photo Kano) |
Yeah, but I don't want ANY warnings, fair or not. I don't want manga readers deciding for me what may or may not be important to ME. If you want to give out information, simply put it underneath spoiler tags. That's all I'm asking for and I don't think that's an unreasonable request. You still haven't spoiler tagged your original post, so I've reported and hopefully an admin or mod will add the tags. This is why I really despise rude manga readers. |
Divineking Posts: 925 |
Fixed. Again I'm sorry. Didn;t know you wanted the last part of it spoiler tagged(assumed the first one was enough). I'll chill. |

Finally a show that I am likely to watch this season, well it probably just feels amazing after watching half of that Rock Lee cr@p. Yeah this hits my spots in a few places, the little ecchi bits did not even seem extreme enough to throw me off. Already know my favourite character of the show with Shiranui, definetly the type of character I enjoy, yay for comic relief loli.

@ Divineking - thank you. Sorry for being snippy about this, it's just a pet peeve of mine. For the record, I didn't consider the info you passed on to be a huge spoiler, it was just more of a hint about the direction of the series than I wanted to know. I made a bit of issue of this more to prevent possibly more serious infractions in the future by other people. | ||||||

If you like spins on tropes you seriously need to read the manga after the anime is finished. The second major arc of the manga you can tell Nisio is having way too much fun with this manga through a certain character. The chances of said arc never being animated is just a travesty... imagine if the Kyoto arc for Kenshin was never animated! |

Dammit, show. I'm completely uninterested, except for one cut at the end of the opener. And now I'm watching. *sigh*
Major Haruhi vibes from President Cleavage. |

As was no doubt intended from the start. Major difference so far is that Medaka's prodigious energy appears to be directed at helping others as opposed to Haruhi's desperate and self-centred attempts to ward off boredom and her own fear of personal insignificance. |

I should mention I'm a huge Haruhi fan. Kon can go take his pissy little snideness and constipated, joy-sucking attitude towards life and go pound sand. The other characters are amusing to various degrees but that show is nothing without Haruhi. | ||||||

Spicy Skirt Steak
yield: Makes 4 servings
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 skirt steaks, about 3 pounds total, cut in half
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 limes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons hot taco sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
At home
One hour before packing, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Place the steaks in a resealable freezer bag and pour in the marinade, making sure the steaks are completely coated. Refrigerate.
At the tailgate
Prepare coals for a hot fire. When the coals are ready, transfer the skirt steaks directly from the marinade to the grill and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare, 9 to 10 minutes for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. While the steaks are resting, transfer the sliced onion, pepper, and cilantro to a medium serving bowl. Place the limes, cut side down, on the grill until they brown slightly, about 4 minutes. Set aside. Cut the steaks into 1/2-inch strips, then add them to the bowl with the onion mixture. Season with the hot sauce and salt, then squeeze the grilled limes over everything. Toss together and serve.

eBook Category: Romance eBook Description: The prince and his pregnant mistress? Danette Michaels knew that when she became Principe Marcello Scorsolini's secret mistress there would be no marriage, no future and no public acknowledgment. At the time it was enough. But Danette can't be Marcello's secret any longer. She wants him, all or nothing--even if it means their affair is over. Until a pregnancy test changes the rules forever. eBook Publisher: Harlequin/Presents Fictionwise Release Date: May 2006
99 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor
DANETTE MICHAELS closed the tabloid and put it down on the coffee table with careful precision.
Her hands were steady. It amazed her. A hurricane of pain was shaking her insides. She made no sound, though she wanted to scream. She wanted to rip the offending magazine to shreds, too. But she couldn't do either. If she so much as touched the tabloid again…if she gave vent to even a tiny bit of the storm tearing apart her soul, she was going to lose it completely.
She refused to do that. She'd spent years controlling her emotions, hiding both physical and mental pain while denying her tears. Ray's betrayal had made her cry and she'd sworn she wasn't going to let another man do that again. Not even Principe Marcello Scorsolini.
"He's just delish, isn't he?" Lizzy breathed, oblivious to the devastation her visit had wrought in Danette. She leaned forward and flipped the magazine open again, and pointed to the picture that was the source of Danette's current mental agony. "Can you imagine being that woman?"
Danette looked down at the picture. She didn't want to. It hurt, but she couldn't help herself. Her eyes were drawn by an emotion as powerful as the love that lay bleeding at the bottom of her heart. The need to know, and a desperate hope that her vision had deceived her the first time.
It had not.
The picture was exactly what she thought it was. It showed the drop-dead gorgeous president of the Italian arm of Scorsolini Shipping dancing with an equally attractive woman at his father's birthday bash on Scorsolini Island. They were practically molded to one another's bodies. Prince Marcello was smiling and the woman looked like a beautiful, sleek cat who had just copped a whole bowl of the richest cream.
How could Danette have been so stupid that she'd allowed herself to get involved with this man…to actually believe that they had enough in common where it counted?
She'd fallen into his arms with about as much self-preservation as a lemming following the pack leader off the side of a cliff. She'd given him her virginity and asked for nothing in return but his overwhelming passion. He'd offered her his fidelity, but that picture made her doubt the sincerity of the gift.
Contrary to what he had told her, her prince was the king of the playboys. Was she terminally stupid where men were concerned, or simply unlucky?
"Earth to Danette. Hello, is anyone in there?" Lizzy's voice penetrated Danette's crushing thoughts.
"Where were you at, chica? Don't tell me you were thinking about work."
"Something like that," Danette said in a strained voice. In her mind, her job and her lover were inexorably linked.
"I said, can you imagine being her?"
Only too well, except when Marcello held Danette close like that, she was never wearing a designer original ball gown. Most of the time, she wasn't wearing anything at all. "Yes."
Lizzy laughed. "You've got a better imagination than me then."
"Not really."
"Are you okay?" Lizzy asked, her face creased with concern. "You seem out of it, and more than just your normal preoccupation with being the original Wonder Woman at work."
Danette forced herself to look away from the picture and at her small, blond friend. They were both Americans, but that was where the similarity ended. Lizzy was five feet even with the body of a pocket Venus and short blond hair that fell in wild ringlets around her heart-shaped face. She also had an infectious smile that had drawn Danette to her immediately.
Danette, on the other hand, had slight curves, a very slender build, a neck that Marcello said looked like a graceful swan's, but which she felt was too long, average looks he called refreshingly natural, and average height that felt very tiny beside his six-foot-two-inch frame. Her chin-length mouse-brown hair was straight and even when she tried to curl it, it never held. So she'd given up trying.
Marcello said it felt like silk against his fingertips and he loved the fact she didn't starch it with lots of product, but the blonde he was holding so closely in the picture certainly looked made up to the nines. So much for Marcello's evinced preference for the unadorned lily. It was obvious he liked hothouse orchids just fine.
That picture made her wonder if she hadn't fooled herself about Marcello just as badly as she had with Ray.
She tried for a smile, but failed. She settled for a sigh. "I'm fine. Just tired. I've been working hard on the Cordoba project."
"With the hours you put in, it's no wonder you don't have a social life."
But Danette did have a social life…a secret one that gave her more pleasure than she'd ever dreamed was possible. At least it had until this moment.
She managed to force the smile this time, though she wasn't sure it was a very convincing one. "You know how it is."
Lizzy's smile was genuine, if tinged with worry. "What I know is that you work too hard."
"Not really. I love my job."
"I love my job, too, chica, but you don't see me spending every waking moment dedicated to it." Lizzy winked. "I've got better things to do with my off hours. Speaking of, I've got to get going…you sure you don't want to come down to the taverna with the rest of us?"
Danette shook her head. "Sorry, but I think I'll go for an early night."
Lizzy sighed and shook her head, her blond curls bouncing. "You need to get out more."
"I do get out." With Marcello, and nowhere anyone from Scorsolini Shipping was likely to run into her.
Lizzy just snorted, then her expression turned calculating. "If you aren't there, Ramon from sales is going to be disappointed."

Mr. Suydam, do you license use of your art for cd covers, etc?
Thank you,
Barbara Swisher
Arthur Suydam (pronounced Sā-DĂM) – also known as the Zombie King – is an artist who, with a splash of colour and a stroke of his brush, has the magic to bring Zombies to life as easily as he does Mr. Toad and the cast of The Wind and The Willows.
Arthur lives and breathes art. If he's not painting or creating comics, he's composing and performing music. He travels the world sharing his creativity with a warm smile and generous heart. And I have it on good authority that he's one heck of a tennis player too.
A gallery of Arthur's striking art follows this interview.
Julinda Morrow: What path led you to comics and sequential art?
Arthur Suydam: When I was five years old I was very badly burned and did a year in the hospital. They assigned to me four doctors, who didn't believe I was going to survive the experience. As is customary with hospital hospice, family and friends typically bring you magazines and flowers at visiting hour. My parents brought comic books to help pass the time.
I was fascinated with the stories and art, and began to write and draw my own comics soon as my hands began to heal and I could hold a pencil.
JM: What schooling or training did you receive?
AS: I am a firm believer in formal schooling, though I had a very difficult time finding appropriate schooling following high school. I had an uncle who reportedly studied with Norman Rockwell and I inherited his work books from my aunt when I was very young, so I am mostly self-trained. I had full scholarships for universities in Jersey but could not find schools teaching the classical Italian curriculum and I wanted in order to repeat and study the theory and techniques of the Renaissance masters. Eventually I found a school a few blocks from my house, here in the East Village, called the New Academy of Figurative Art. I met with one of the professors there for his input on a study plan. He recommended that I skip drawing and focus on formal sculpture to reach my drawing goals – same as Michelangelo. I did a fair amount of anatomy work there with cadavers at the local medical university in the evenings following med classes during day studies.
JM: Who, in your opinion, are the pioneers of sequential art?
AS: I believe the medium is quite old, beginning with political cartoons in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European newspapers, later morphing into the Looney Toon animated shorts, newspaper serials, then later on to full length films, comic pamphlets and graphic novels and trades.
JM: How do you define sequential art?
AS: I believe the phrase is self-explanatory.
JM: Do you find that sequential art provides you with near-limitless possibilities for storytelling or do you experience it as constraining? Please elaborate.
AS: All media have their pluses and minuses. Comics are flat and two-dimensional on paper and literary, and without sound. They do, however, serve as a powerful storyboard platform. The ability to tell great stories is limitless, which is why they translate to film so easily.
JM: What qualities or resources do you believe are most important for a sequential storyteller to have?
AS: I believe it is crucial to be versed in classic films, in TV and in comics. There are steps along the way that comics have climbed, where progressives have comes along and raised the bar that the rest of us strive for and hope to surpass. Now that films have become comic talkies there are many more examples of what can be achieved when done correctly.
JM: How do you approach your work process?
AS: Collecting of reference materials, rough sketches, refined overlay drawing edits, to finished pencil drawing, to brush and ink, to finished digital underpainting to finished painting to color correction and finish editing.
JM: How many hours a day do you work? Are you uniformly productive on any given day or more productive on some days than others?
AS: I mostly begin my day with roughly one-and-a-half hours of health work, a half-mile run followed by strength training, followed by Muay Thai fight drills in the park here on Avenue A, then off to breakfast and work. I work every day, roughly11:00 a.m. or noon to 2:00 a.m. – or later, if I am on a roll – seven days a week.
JM: Was it a struggle, at the start of your career, to find work and make ends meet?
AS: My work was well received and immediately began to generate waves in the industry in the early seventies. DC offered me more work than I could ever hope to handle. However, because I wrote and illustrated all my own stories only, working on other writers' scripts slowed me down to a crawl, so I was very slow for many years. Also, my lack of formal training was slowing me down. There have always been weak spots I needed to work on in my drawing game which have taken years of work to cope with. I am still working [on] them now. Being so slow, I had to rely on multiple sources for income. I was on the road touring with bands, working as a film composer, studio vocalist and lead guitarist and teaching tennis. Paying the bills was always a struggle, up to the late nineties, when I was finally able to participate in some well-paying work.
JM: What has been your most valuable professional experience?
AS: Moving to New York, where I was able to find like artists to compete with. The plan at the time was to join the studio with Bernie [Wrightson], Jeff [Jones; a.k.a. Jeffrey Catherine Jones] and [Barry Windsor-] Smith. That one never happened. Working at Heavy Metal under John Workman and Julie Simmons was invaluable and allowed me to work on my painted comics and writing. Having access to Professor Randy Mellick at the Academy of Figurative Art was crucial as well.
JM: What inspires or informs you creatively?
AS: Great film writing and illustration and photography. I love the Walking Dead series. Along with The Sopranos [it is the] best writing in TV history for a non-comedic genre in my opinion.
JM: What is your position on digital comics? Are they a good thing or a bad thing?
AS: I believe there is a way to work them into the mix where they can be a positive rather than a destructive force, one that can help to spread the message and avoid destroying current markets. At present the majors are killing the bird in the hand for one in the bush. That is insanity. [And] releasing the digitals is destroying the comic stores and comic shows all of which rely on comic production to keep the genre alive.
I believe the digitals should be available one or two years following the release of the printed trades so as not to interfere with the sale and distribution of these markets, and at price[s] comparable to the trades so as not to compete with their own product and profits, destroying their own markets.
There is a fair amount of pretending going on with the managers of the "big two". The bean counters have their value and are important. However they do not belong in the creative decision-making process as they tend to be void of vision. Many prefer marketing gimmicks to including and investing in the creatives with vision, which is where any arts-based company's survival and prosperity lies.
The L.A. studios and music companies understand this critical lesson in where their interest lay, the publishers are busy playing Machiavellian shell games with their corporate bosses in an effort to preserve their jobs.
JM: If you were to make any changes to the industry or the market what changes would you make?
AS: I would reorganize management to incorporate some smart and progressive creatives with vision into the managerial process, and limit the bean counters to their area of expertise. Many in the current managerial teams at the majors are politicians first and art experts second, and can't see the big picture. That's the opposite of how Pixar does it.
JM: If you could apprentice under any artist at any time in history and anywhere in the world who would it be?
AS: I would stick with Randy from NYFA and maybe Norman Rockwell.
JM: What, in the future, would you like to accomplish creatively?
AS: I have a series I want to write and illustrate for DC Comics. If they sign off on it, it will break sales records for them. If there is no change the downward spiral they are on will continue.
Mr. Suydam, do you license use of your art for cd covers, etc?
Thank you,
Barbara Swisher

Free Event Makes Learning about Virginia's Past Fun
Richmond, VA – In conjunction with the opening of a new exhibition, Lee and Grant, the Virginia Historical Society invites the community to attend a free event filled with music, games, prizes, re-enactments, and much more. On Saturday, October 20, 2007, from 10 a.m.–5 p.m., the VHS will host a Civil War-themed open house.
"The VHS Family Day is our way of saying thank you to the community for all of its support throughout the year," said Charles F. Bryan, Jr., President and CEO of the Society. "And for families new to the area, or for people who have never been to the VHS before, this is a great way to experience the interactive and educational exhibitions and programs that we offer."
Highlights of Family Day include: a special prize to the first 100 visitors; story telling by Tell Tale Hearts Troupe; living history enactments featuring Civil War soldiers; music by the Celebration Male Chorus; book signings; children's crafts and activities; and an interactive trivia game that will test visitors' knowledge of VHS Civil War exhibitions. Guests can register to win prizes from The Jefferson Hotel, Pamplin Historical Park, Radio Disney, and more! Chic-fil-A will sell food and drinks at the event. And, for the first time, visitors will be able to see the recently discovered Mary Custis Lee trunks that held thousands of historical documents, including hundreds of letters, memos, and orders drafted by General Robert E. Lee.
Guests will enjoy the debut of the innovative exhibition, Lee and Grant, on October 20th—the first day it is open to the public. This exciting exhibition provides a major re-assessment of the lives, careers and historical impact of the two Civil War generals, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant.
It also charts the development of historical thought and popular attitudes towards both figures in the years since the outbreak of the Civil War. Lee and Grant, made possible with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, will present clothing and accouterments owned by the two men, documents written in their own hands, accounts by contemporaries, biographical and historical records, paintings, photographs, prints, and sculpture as a means to reveal each man in his historical and cultural context and review the ways the two have been remembered for almost 200 years.
The Virginia Historical Society is located at 428 N. Boulevard. The Story of Virginia, An American Experience, a 10,000-square-foot exhibition with more than a thousand objects covering all of Virginia history from prehistoric times to the present is featured in the Robins Center for Virginia History. Hours: Monday-Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sunday 1pm - 5pm (Museum Galleries only). Admission: $5/adults, $4/seniors 55+ ($2/Tuesdays–galleries only), $3/children and students, free/members. Admission to the galleries is free on Sundays. For group tour information, call (804) 342-9652. For more information, please call (804) 358-4901 or visit www.vahistorical.org.

Is there a Trekkie in your house? Does your child hum the theme song from Star Wars in her sleep? Do you have glow in the dark sticker constellations on your ceiling, a telescope in your backyard, and a kid who dreams of a future as an astronaut? If so, forget about traditional summer camps. Who needs kickball and macramé when kids can blast off to space camp?
Space Camp, affiliated with the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is the sleep-away camp of choice for junior astronauts. Kids study science, math and technology, practice eating, sleeping and using bathrooms the way astronauts on missions do, and experiment with the manned maneuvering unit, the "Five Degrees of Freedom" chair, and rocket building. 93% of graduates report taking more science courses after attending camp here; 91% report taking more math courses; and 74% report knowing about more career options.
"It was a great experience, and with a heavy focus on physics," says Amanda Christine Miller. "I was about 10 years old; 4 years later at Harvard Model Congress I introduced a bill proposing the privatization of NASA, spilt between the private sector and the Jet Propulsion Lab. So Space Camp definitely stayed with me for years!"
Space camp is for 9 - 11 year olds; 7 – 12 year olds attend Space Academy; 15 – 18 year olds earn college credit at Advanced Space Academy. Always wanted to moonwalk? Sign up for the Parent/Child Program. "One year for both my son's birthday and for my husband's birthday, I sent them to space camp together. It was a great bonding experience and I believe my husband had as much or more fun than my son," says Debi Yohn, Ph.D. Programs start at $399 for 3 six-day courses and include all meals, lodging, activities and materials.
The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kansas offers "future astronaut training" based on NASA standards to kids in grades 7 – 10. Campers do actual crew exercises, flight simulation, take virtual space walks and try g-force training. Prices start at $650 for the 5-day sleep-away camp; a day camp is also offered for kids in second grade and up.
Not ready to ship 'em off? Camp Kennedy Space Center (Camp KSC) just outside Orlando, Florida, offers day camps for second through ninth graders. They'll have the opportunity to meet an astronaut, try a motion-based simulator, and simulate a space shuttle mission. "My daughter who is now in college went to space camp (Camp KSC) when she was 12," says Francine Kent. "It was a good experience...especially to see the difference in how girls approached the same problems as boys did."Prices start at $295 per week.
If your child just can't get enough of outer space, sign up for one of the spring break, summer or December day camps at Space Center Houston. Associated with the Johnson Space Center, SCH offers kids ages 3 – 14 opportunities to study engineering, build rovers, and sew space puppets. Prices start at $50 per day.
Traditional? Probably not. But for kids who'd rather study physics than paddle a canoe, there's no better place than space camp to learn that the sky's not the limit.
