We are a retail nursery.
We are in growing zone 9. Peak bloom is during the month of May.
Paynes in the Grass Daylily Farm will host an Open Garden on Sunday, May 21, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. We welcome yall to come and see daylilies at peak bloom. We are also open at other times, but it is best to call first to make sure that someone will be there to assist you.
Welcome! Leon and I became addicted to daylilies in 1988 and have been nursing the habit ever since. Our home garden is located in what used to be a rural area of Pearland, Texas and expanded into a business venture when the commercial property behind our house became available in the early 1990s. We grow over 800 different registered cultivars and we plant approximately 5,000 seedlings each year. We also grow many different perennials. Leon is guilty of the act of hybridizing and I guess Ive become more than an enabler since I have joined him in the practice. It is a lot of work but there is something special about going out early in the morning and seeing a daylily bloom its maiden bloom. It has turned into a labor of love but worth the rewards.
Hope Georgia & Caroline Leon became interested in Bamboo several years ago on a trip to Australia and joined the American Bamboo Society when he got home. We now grow about a dozen different species of large clumping bamboo. Im keeping my fingers crossed that he doesnt begin to hybridize them. We do sell bamboo in the garden but we dont ship bamboo. We welcome all visitors to our web site and hope you find something you like while visiting here. If you are in our area during May or June, please give us a call and stop
by for a visit, especially since we no longer live directly behind the
growing field.

The vice presidential candidates had center stage Tuesday night for their only debate of the campaign — and Donald Trump was right there with them. On Twitter.
The Republican presidential candidate, famous for unleashing searing and often self-destructive insults in the early morning hours, live-tweeted the match-up between his running-mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, the Democrat of Virginia. His tweets, though, were relatively restrained.
Clinton, whose Twitter account before the debate featured barbs directed at both Pence and Trump, planned to watch the debate at her home in Chappaqua without Twitter, according to her aides.
The event at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, came a week after the first debate between Trump and Clinton and a bad stretch for the New York businessman. He was criticized for a poor debate performance and prolonged attacks — on Twitter — on a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, over her weight. Then tax records obtained by The New York Times showed a $900 million loss on his 1995 returns, which could have allowed him to avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years.
The tweets on Clinton's Twitter page reminded people of those problems.
"Number of times Trump has tweeted at @Rosie: 65," read one, a reference to his put-downs of Rosie O'Donnell, whom he has called a slob with a fat, ugly face. "Number of times Trump has tweeted in support of Mike Pence, his running mate: 21."
Pence was portrayed in a short video as a mirror of Trump, "Mike Pence: a divisive, anti-woman, anti-LGBT, anti-worker extremist. No wonder Trump picked him."
As the debate began, Trump quickly referenced a tweet that called Kaine a liar, and said that Marines and the military were scared of "the liar running," using the hashtag Benghazi. Both men have sons who are Marines and Kaine had said he trusted his son's life to Clinton.
"The thought of Donald Trump as commander-in-chief scares us to death," Kaine said.
Trump, responding to others, agreed that Kaine looked like a fool — and like an evil crook out of the Batman movies.
Clinton, he said, "sneers at millions of average Americans," he said, linking to her comment at a fund raiser that half of Trump's supporters could be put into a "basket of deplorables."
He tweeted a link to reporters' observations that Pence was dominating the start of the debate with his quiet demeanor — though not to others that noted Pence did not try to defend Trump.
And Trump leaped on Clinton's "careless" use of a private email server while secretary of state, repeating his assertion that she put the national security of the country at risk.
The debate, more acrimonious than many expected, was characterized by the men often talking over each other — with Kaine in particular interrupting at the start. Kaine frequently repeated Trump's words to Pence, which Pence often denied.
Clinton's team meanwhile was tweeting some of Kaine's debate zingers.
"Donald Trump can't start a Twitter war with Miss Universe without shooting himself in the foot," it tweeted.
And in response to Trump having said that not paying taxes made him smart, "Guess that makes all the rest of us stupid."

They will be second in District C-4, which means a home playoff game on Nov. 11.But the Mustangs (8-1, 5-1 in district play) do not want to go into the postseason on a downer, so they plan on treating Friday night's regular-season finale at 7:30 p.m. on the road against Claremore Christian (3-6, 2-4) as they have in all the games."The kids are real excited about having a home playoff game in a couple of weeks," Arkoma Coach Mark Weatherton said. "I think the whole town is excited. But we still have to take care of business Friday night. It's not going to change our position in the district, but you still want to go in on a good note. It's still a regular-season game. Nine wins total is the school record, and we want to take care of that."

UTD Professor Named Distinguished Lecturer
By American Association of Petroleum Geologists
RICHARDSON, Texas (March 21, 2005) – The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) has invited University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) geosciences Professor Dr. Janok P. Bhattacharya to serve as a distinguished lecturer for the organization for the years 2005 and 2006.
In that role, Bhattacharya will speak to a wide range of audiences, including scientific societies and university earth science departments, throughout North America on a variety of geology-related topics, ranging from underground rock formations that contain oil and gas to river deltas. Bhattacharya is an expert in sedimentology, the science that deals with the description, classification and origin of rock formed from sediment, and stratigraphy, the study of the distribution of such rock.
Bhattacharya will participate in periodic tours of up to two weeks in length, during which he will give as many as 10 talks to different audiences.
Selection of AAPG distinguished lecturers are made by a committee from candidates "working at the forefront of our science on exciting new ideas," according to the organization.
Bhattacharya, who spent 10 years as a geologist in the oil industry before joining the UTD faculty in 1998, is an active member of AAPG, which, with 30,000 members, is the largest professional society of its kind in the world.
Last spring, he served as technical program coordinator for the AAPG annual convention in Dallas, which drew thousands of geologists to the Dallas Convention Center. Next month, Bhattacharya will receive the 2005 Distinguished Educator Award from the Southwest Section of AAPG, which covers Texas and New Mexico.
In 2003, Bhattacharya was selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to help develop a science plan for a mission in 2013 to search for life on Mars. He is a member of a steering group composed of geologists, engineers and astrobiologists whose mandate is to define key scientific objectives, methods and logistics for the mission, which will investigate evidence of present or past life on Mars.
At UTD, Bhattacharya and several colleagues are involved in pioneering studies for the U.S. Department of Energy into the use of ground-penetrating radar to "see" into the earth and map underground geological formations in three dimensions, a technology that could improve oilfield production efficiency.

|Archways in the City
Just three miles off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida, lay a mystical underwater world – A recreation of Atlantis, the Lost City. But this Atlantis is a destination for marine life, scuba divers, and the dead.
|One of Two Lions
Also known as the Atlantis Memorial Reef, or the Atlantis Reef, the Memorial Reef began in 2007 when the Neptune Society decided to create a 'replica' of the Lost City of Atlantis. The Reef is located 40 feet below the ocean's surface and was originally designed as an artistic project. The focus of the venture soon changed and it was developed into the world's first underwater "cemetery", actually a cremation memorial park.
|Diagram of Finished Reef
|Entrance Gates
Although technically not a cemetery, the Memorial Reef does contain the cremains of over 200 people, with room for another 600 during the first phase. The goal of the society is to eventually provide a resting place for over 125,000 remains that will spread over 16 acres of ocean floor.
|Diver Places Cremains on Reef
|Ashes Mixed with Cement in a Mold
The Neptune Society, the largest cremation-only provider in the U.S., takes cremated remains and mixes them with cement before placing them in a mold. Once the mold is formed, the shaped piece is then taken down to the City and placed on the Reef with a memorial plaque. There, the molds become a permanent part of the ever-changing man-made reef.
|A Diver Visits
|A Stairway
The Memorial Reef opened in 2007. It is the largest man-made reef in the world. Statues, gates, columns, benches, and roads make up the underwater city. Divers, researchers, marine biologists, and students are encouraged to visit the area, but fishing and lobstering are not allowed here.
A marine study conducted in the area reports that the Memorial Reef is developing faster than originally expected, and is attracting a multitude of marine life.
|Molded Memorials
The Memorial Reef is a natural green burial option, certified by the Green Burial Council. The Reef promotes coral and marine organism growth, thus allowing you to become part of the underwater ecosystem. Placement on the Reef begins around $2,000.
To learn more about the Neptune Society Memorial Reef, visit their web page @ http://www.neptunesociety.com/memorial-reef.
To visit the Reef in person, the GPS coordinates are N25º 42.036', W80º 05.409'. The Memorial Reef is free and open to the public.

Hess, Abraham Lincoln (1861-1920)
Abraham Lincoln Hess was born 10 April 1861 at Lincoln, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, died 30 December 1920 at Hesston, Kansas, the son of John R. and Annie E. Stauffer Hess. On 17 August 1883, he was married to Anna B. Pfautz. From 1884 until his death A. L. Hess lived on a farm near what is now Hesston, at first called Eliven. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Mennonite Church near Hesston until the congregation in Hesston was organized, when he transferred his membership to the Hesston Mennonite Church. He assisted in the founding of the Hesston State Bank, of which he was president for some time. His practical faith in young people was expressed by his contribution of 80 acres of land for the beginning of Hesston College and Bible School. He was buried in the Pennsylvania Cemetery.

When California faced a major budget crisis in the early 1990s, thanks to what was then the worst recession since the Great Depression, a Republican governor — Pete Wilson — and the Legislature enacted a big, albeit temporary, increase in state taxes.
Despite the boost in sales and income taxes, state revenue continued to decline as the recession deepened, touching off years of political debate about causes and effects.
Those on the right contended that by increasing taxes, Wilson and the Legislature depressed economic activity, thus causing a further decline in revenue. Those on the left argued that if tax rates had not been increased, revenue would have declined even further due to the recession.
Wilson later recanted, saying he regretted twisting arms of Republicans to vote for the tax increase because revenue did not jump.
History is repeating itself.
An even-worse recession is buffeting California now. As state revenue plummeted last year, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cajoled and bullied a few Republicans into voting for billions of dollars in temporary tax increases.
"Anyone that runs around, I think, and says that [balancing the budget] can be done without raising taxes, I think has not really looked at it carefully," Schwarzenegger said.
The 2009 tax hikes turned out to be more temporary than the governor and legislators wanted, because voters limited their lifespan a few months later by rejecting a series of ballot measures.
The increases will begin to expire in a few months, but they were in effect for the just-ended 2009-10 fiscal year. And as the overall economy continued to fade, their enactment did not generate a big net revenue increase, thus emulating what happened with Wilson's tax hike.
The additional income, sales and vehicle taxes were expected to produce around $8 billion a year. As state officials close the books on the 2009-10 fiscal year, however, revenue remains flat.
Overall, Controller John Chiang reported, the state received $86.6 billion in revenue during the year, about $1.4 billion more than the previous year — and $10 billion less than 2007-08.
Personal income taxes, the largest single generator of revenue, were barely $1 billion higher than the previous year.
The numbers will touch off a new version of the old debate. Did raising taxes retard economic recovery, thus erasing the expected revenue gain? Not likely. Did it protect some public services? More likely. Or, was it a little of both? Possibly.
Schwarzenegger seems to be emulating his one-time mentor Wilson. This year, he's as adamant about not raising taxes again as he was last year about increasing them.
Ah, politics.

At 28, I was at a crossroads; I realized I did not have the skills needed to deal with life's stresses and worries. Withdrawn and depressed, I was unable to be impartial or sensible when analyzing what I was feeling.
It was not until I attended a cognitive therapy program that I realized I lacked the tools needed to decipher my moods and rationally deconstruct the stresses in my life. The program allowed me to minimize my anxieties and dispel my negative mood.
Nonetheless, life is filled with many changes, and every milestone brings new encounters and conditions that challenge our personal philosophy, coping skills, and ability to adapt.
These new situations can include a shift in living arrangements, responsibilities and work environment.
Sometimes the stress of these changes is overwhelming, and it leaves us depressed and anxious.
I found that you can rebound from a bout of depression by giving into the negative feelings and giving up your daily responsibility for a short period. Under the right circumstances, and with a level-headed self-awareness, this can give us an opportunity to reflect, react and take constructive action.
Home with my son
For me, my situational shift occurred when I became a stay at home parent and a university student. I thought I was ready for the change, but in a few weeks it was obvious I was unprepared for the task.
At first, I tried to discount the discomfort I was feeling, but the stress of my new responsibilities pushed me towards a short bout of depression and anxiety.
While I was consciously ignoring the stress and discounting the challenges I was facing, unconsciously my body was warning me that something was incredibly wrong in my life.
Luckily, the bout was neither long nor deep. Instead of succumbing to the negative state, I used it to my advantage.
Sometimes, the struggle to convince ourselves and others that we are not depressed can diminish our resolve to get better.
Personally, the hardest part of these mental funks is my tendency to be short and inconsiderate to people who do not deserve it. Thankfully, my wife is willing to indulge these periods of moodiness.
When you reveal your true emotional and mental state, you need to be non-confrontational and respectful. This approach will help people understand what you are going through and how they can help you recover.
As long as it is not destructive, it is ok to be a little selfish and withdrawn. Ensure that you pick a place to withdraw that allows you to be comfortable, dismiss your worries, and clear your mind of any expectations.
Once you are settled, ask yourself some simple questions, and expect only simple answers.
· Am I gaining anything from sitting here?
· Does the situation really require me to feel like this?
· What can I do to get out of this funk, and get myself moving forward?
The answers will not solve all your problems, but they do give you a way to deal with your mood. It simplifies everything and focuses your attention on easy actions.
For me this usually means cleaning something in the house, it's a mindless job and it gives me time to contemplate my life. The key is to make the action solitary, so that you have time to reflect and build a productive outlook.
The key to evolution and survival is based on our ability to adapt. In order to adapt, we have to be conscious of the fact that we are no longer able to deal with a new circumstances or new environments.
Even the strongest armies need to retreat and regroup from time to time. Stepping back and saying "I am not happy," helps us reboot our system and change our perspective on life. Also, it gives us time to realize how our actions are affecting our productivity, mood, and our relationships.
The key is to snap out of these periods and start taking action, it does not matter what you decide to do as long it is productive and you feel good about the action. Once you are moving, momentum has the magical ability to keep you in an active state of mind.
Remember … "Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken just now". ~ Jonatan Martensson

Car Review
2014 GMC Sierra 1500: New Car Review
We don't often see an all-new pickup. In fact, the 2009 model year was the last time we saw anything new from the full-size truck world, and that came in the form of a redesigned Dodge RAM and Ford F-150. The GMC Sierra hasn't been redesigned since 2007, which means the 2014 GMC Sierra is a big deal. It's finally completely new inside and out.
So what's it like? Well, for one thing, its styling is surprisingly similar to last year's model. But don't be fooled: The Sierra is totally new inside, under the skin and under the hood. It offers three new engines, a redesigned interior and new features that range from a more compliant suspension to improved technology. Don't worry, though, the 2014 Sierra is still just as capable as it's ever been. If we had to sum it up succinctly, we'd say this: The 2014 Sierra and its Chevrolet Silverado twin are the best full-size trucks on the market.
What's New for 2014?
The GMC Sierra is all-new for 2014. Styling is updated, while everything else -- including the pickup's engines -- are completely new. Handling is improved, there's a stiffer chassis for improved capability and there's more technology inside the cabin and out. Fuel economy is boosted, too.
What We Like
Class-leading interior; vastly improved steering and handling; technology tops rival pickups
What We Don't
Styling is a little too similar to last year's truck
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The 2014 GMC Sierra offers three engines: a 4.3-liter V6 that makes 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft, a 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft and a 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. All use a 6-speed automatic as the only available transmission.
Not surprisingly, fuel economy is best with the 4.3-liter V6. That engine returns 18 miles per gallon in the city and 24 mpg on the highway with 2-wheel drive, or 17 mpg city/22 mpg hwy with 4-wheel drive. Pick the 5.3-liter V8 and you'll find fuel economy doesn't drop as much as you might think. The Environmental Protection Agency rates that engine at 16 mpg city/23 mpg hwy with 2-wheel drive, or 16 mpg city/22 mpg hwy with 4-wheel drive. Topping the range is the mighty 6.2-liter, which returns 15 mpg city/21 mpg hwy with 2-wheel drive, or 14 mpg city/20 mpg hwy with 4-wheel drive.
Standard Features & Options
Like all full-size pickups (and its Silverado sibling), the Sierra comes with a wide array of choices, ranging from bed sizes to cab preference, drivetrain, engine and trim level. We've simplified things and organized the truck's features by trim level. But choosing the right Sierra for you will likely involve more than simply picking a trim.
Pick a base-level Sierra ($27,000) and you're stuck, as you might expect, with the basics. That means power locks, cruise control, air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo -- but no such luxuries as a CD player or power windows.
For those features, you'll need to move up to the SLE ($33,500), which adds all the base model's missing luxuries (keyless entry, power windows, SiriusXM satellite radio, a CD player) and a few more goodies. Such items include GMC's IntelliLink infotainment system, a backup camera, LED lighting in the bed and a few miscellaneous appearance items.
Next up is the Sierra SLT ($41,500), which is only offered as a double cab or crew cab pickup. The SLT offers a long list of standard features, including leather upholstery, dual power front seats, heated mirrors and a locking rear differential. SLT models also come standard with the Sierra's 5.3-liter V8, while base and SLE models offer it as an option.
Topping the Sierra lineup is the Denali, which comes standard with the pickup's 6.2-liter V8 engine. While pricing has not yet been announced, we expect the Denali to start in the upper-$40,000 range, or maybe a bit higher. But it'll include a long list of standard features, from chrome accents and leather seats to a heated steering wheel and an upscale Bose surround sound system.
As for options, the Sierra has several. Extras include a power sunroof, a navigation system, cooled seats, power adjustable pedals and 4-wheel drive. Additionally, drivers can add safety features such as forward collision alert and a lane-departure warning system, both of which are new for 2014.
All GMC Sierra pickups include dual front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, daytime running lights and a tire pressure monitor. Options include a lane-departure warning system, a forward collision alert system and GM's OnStar system, which can call for help if there's an accident.
While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not tested the Sierra, we expect it to perform exactly the same as its Chevrolet Silverado twin. The Silverado was the first to receive a 5-star overall crash-test rating by the NHTSA, which consisted of a 4-star score in the rollover assessment, and 5-star scores in frontal and side-impact tests.
Behind the Wheel
There's absolutely no doubt the Sierra rides and handles better than the old model. That's largely due to the new fully boxed frame, which clearly makes the truck feel more rigid and stable than last year's model. It also helps in towing, as do the fully integrated trailer brakes. And we couldn't live without the tow/haul mode, which takes the guesswork out of manually operating the automatic transmission when you'd rather be focusing on things such as guiding the pickup safely up a hill.
We were further impressed with the Sierra's interior. One major plus is the center-mounted 8-inch LCD screen, which is perfectly positioned so you don't have to take your eyes far off the road to use it. The same is true of the LCD screen mounted in the gauge cluster. It's far better than the Sierra's former pixelated display. And we enjoyed the huge sunroof, though wind noise got a little loud.
We also loved the Sierra's gadgets. Compared to just a few short years ago, it's hard to believe a truck now has USB ports, navigation, in-vehicle apps and a center-mounted touchscreen. The only gadget we didn't enjoy was the voice control system, which we had trouble using for both navigation and audio functions.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford F-150 -- The Sierra's top rival still has a lot to offer, though it's starting to show its age in the wake of new competition from General Motors.
Ram 1500 -- Formerly the Dodge RAM, the Ram 1500 offers available air suspension and famous HEMI V8 power. And there's still no other light-duty pickup with an available diesel engine.
Toyota Tundra -- The Tundra is refined and muscular, offering a strong rival to the Sierra. But the Tundra still can't trump the Sierra's wide range of bed, cab and engine configurations.
AutoTrader's Advice
You can't go wrong with any 2014 Sierra, assuming you pick the truck that works for your lifestyle. That means we don't suggest the base-level Sierra if you're the kind of driver who enjoys gadgets. And we don't suggest the Denali if you're going to visit dirty job sites or rutted country roads. Our dream Sierra is probably a Sierra SLT or a well-equipped Sierra SLE, though we certainly wouldn't turn down the Sierra Denali if we had the cash.

I had lunch with Terry Donahue this week, happy to straighten out another UCLA football coach.
As ancient as the guy is, I don't go back far enough to really know him. And Donahue has been in no hurry to let me know him better because he doesn't want anything to do with me.
"You killed Karl Dorrell," he says of my good friend Karl Dullard.
Donahue remembers UCLA's 13-9 shocking win over USC, forgetting that I predicted as much in print before the game.
Donahue says I was yelling at him after the win to stop so we might talk. He says he threatened to knock my block off.
I don't recall the exchange, but then if I remembered everyone who has threatened to knock my block off I'd have no room in my head for anything else.

pixar55 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 15 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
On my website i have a simple photo editor, with a simple design.
Where i am looking for is to change that design, to something simular.
Only that part of the website needs a new design ! All the rest should stay.
The style/feeling of the editor should not change too much, i like it, but just other position of elements, tabs, other colors....
It should stay simple, but look diffrent.
online editor redesign
A programmer made a site with an editor for me, but the design of the editor is too much the same of an already existing editor on another site. That's why i want it to be changed. I want a diffrent, original editor on my site.
However, i must say i like the look and the layout of the existing editor, but for reasons mentioned above, i don't want to keep it.
So if you could make something in the same style and feeling, but that looks diffrent, ....that's what i'm looking for.
(diffrent postions of elements, diffrent tabs, color, font,....ect )
Off course you can surprise me with something totally diffrent also, but plz remember it should fit in the overall design and colors of the website.
You can visit the website at www . t r a v e l g r e e t s . com
The editor is below the photo, the blue "box".
All elements that are used inside the editor, should stay. You can also use the same icons, these are already original. I just need a new "frame".
- only part of site needs design (editor)
- simple
- clean
- professional
- flashy

AoEM Tarr Legend Army of Elite Mercenaries Friday 08/12/2006, 01:14
Now I know how to gain high ELO... simply play anybody - if you win, then you win, if you're loosing, simply timeout... I thought that some noob players timeouts because they're noobs, but the elder players are fair and wont timeout you, especially in ELO... So I was very surprised when I got timeouted by Jedi-morph, 4th player in ELO ranking at the time of the battle... How I am supposed to make it to the top 25 when I cannot beat high ranked player, cos he's coward and unfair?
I think that letting timeout in ELO should be punished very strictly - lets say 50 points down... cos the way it is is totally unbelievable and such manners are ruining the game. I think that the Urban staff should start doing something about timeouting... I haven't spent my money for this game to watch that the only thing that admins do is banning cards in ELO and other stupid stuff when there is such a huge problem as timeouting
CBP-Roneth Titan Czech Beer Power Friday 15/12/2006, 15:03
That player, who was on turn cannot play any match for 1 hour. No points penalty, or small. I have good connection, fast, but sometimes it fall.
I think, that this could be solved by my suggestion. And no only timeouts druing ELOmode, but during Daily tournaments too.
CBP-Roneth Titan Czech Beer Power Friday 15/12/2006, 15:11
That player, who was on turn when the game was time-out cannot play any match for 1 hour. A think, that is is fair. If you lost connection, you cannot play, if you time-out, because you was losing, you got penalty.
That will solve problems with time-outs in AELO mode and ind Daily Tournaments of course too.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Pricing Announced
- Corvette priced from $51,995 with shipping
- Convertible starts at $56,995; includes automatic top
- Pricing will rise quickly as drivers add options
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette will start at $51,995 with shipping when it goes on sale later this year. The soft-top Corvette Convertible will start at $56,995. That's the latest from Chevrolet, which recently announced pricing for the all-new 'Vette after revealing the car at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
With its $51,995 base price, the all-new seventh-generation Corvette is only $1,400 more expensive than the model it replaces. The Corvette Convertible's base price rises by around $2,400. That's a small increase for a brand-new model -- especially one as radically different as the 2014 Corvette.
Officially called the Corvette Stingray, the sports car's most obvious revisions are on the outside. An all-new body represents a major change over last year's Corvette, with new lines on nearly every surface. Chevrolet made similar updates to the Corvette's cabin, which is redesigned for a more luxurious feel. The upscale interior feels more comparable to Corvette-rival luxury brands such as BMW and Porsche.
But the 2014 Corvette is updated under the skin, as well. It's powered by a new LT1 V8 engine, which makes 450 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet says the Corvette will be good for 0-to-60 runs in under four seconds, whether drivers choose the 7-speed manual or 6-speed paddle-shift automatic.
While the Corvette starts around $52,000, it's unlikely that many units of the iconic sports car will leave dealers at that price. That's because the Corvette offers dozens of tempting options that enhance performance, appearance and comfort. A Z51 high-performance package, for example, adds $2,800 to the base price. Sport-tuned Magnetic Ride Control suspension adds $1,795. And the high-end 3LT trim package with an upscale full leather interior costs over $8,000. Other options include black wheels ($495), red brake calipers ($995), sport seats ($2,495) and a dual-mode exhaust ($1,195).
Still, the Corvette includes a lot of high-end equipment in its base price. Among the sports car's standard features are keyless access with push-button starting, an 8-inch infotainment screen and a rearview camera. The Corvette Convertible has a fully-automatic top that can even be lowered with the car's key fob.
For drivers eagerly awaiting the Corvette's debut -- or those looking forward to seeing it on the road -- the sports car goes on sale this fall.
What it means to you: The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette packs a lot of performance into its $51,995 base price.

The KDE Projects is announcing the third beta of its future KDE 4.0 platform. "This Beta has mostly been focussing on finalizing the design of the libraries in preparation for the release of the KDE Development Platform. Yet, many user-visible changes have gotten in as well. While new features and usability improvements were added, bugs were found and fixed in KDE and the stability of Beta 3 has improved much compared to the previous Betas. With the third Beta, the KDE project has begun to finalize KDE 4.0."

This was beautiful to watch.
It's also one of the first anime in awhile that intrigued me with its execution. I'm left genuinely curious and wanting to know more about the world and what's happening in it and who people are and why they are doing what they're doing.
Usually with anime it's more like "I know what they're doing, I'll keep watching to see how they're going to do it."
But not here so much. Which is really great.
This anime, so far, was a pleasant surprise.
I wanted to watch this show because the title looked like it could produce an interesting and possibly different story. So I'm glad to say that I'm very impressed with the first episode. Not only did it manage to capture me, but it also has me even more curious than I was previously. Not to mention the stunning visuals and the cool-looking character designs, the look and feel of the show was quite refreshing.
I really hope that this show continues to capture the atmosphere and setting that it is going for. If it does, it might become a favorite of mine, and I want to see it reach that status. All I can say for now is, show me more!
Meh, it was alright i guess. Sure it looks really good and is thought-provoking rite now so i suppose ill stick around...
She's a gravekeeper.
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
Good music in both the OP and END.
Great artwork.
Great character designs despite the moeblob of the MC.
Interesting and totally weird setting.
Can't wait to see more of this.

The first episode was interesting. Of course you knew it wouldn't end well when...

she dug graves for everyone in the village.
I'm a little surprised by how passive the MC is, but it's obvious that you just have to accept that aspect of her character. Other than that, it's an interesting world. Nice artwork and good music. Let's see where this goes in ep 2.
I'm also struck by some similarities to Graveminder by Melissa Marr. You don't find many stories that deal with gravediggers in this way.

So Ai really can be called a gravekeeper... aside from that, this is getting very interesting in my opinion.
Episode GradeA-

Fantastic episode, a step up from the first one. I can't wait until Ai starts to meet people way outside the village.
However Ai has a pretty strong body being able to dig graves and taking the hits from the albino...
