"You all need to get out of the house NOW! The secret police are on the way." Mei Liu ordered. Twenty-one year old Mei Liu was a member of the secret police, even though she was a Christian. She had joined to help her Christian friends by alerting them when the secret police were on their way. She was in love with Christ, and nothing could make her deny Him as her Savior. "Thank you so much Mei, God bless you." The pastor of the house-church was truly grateful for the notice; he had scars from previous "interruptions". Earlier Mei had heard her co-worker say "Let's go get some rebels." Why must China be so appalled by Christianity? Mei Liu was still thinking on that when she was shoved into a van to help with the chase. They got to the house church and as she had hoped, the secret police were too late. She was glad the Christians got finished earlier.
I wonder why Quan asked me to come to this restaurant; it's the best in Xinbi. Xinbi was her hometown; she had lived there since she was two years old. Her thoughts were interrupted when Quan walked up. Twenty-two year old Quan Xi had gentle blue eyes, stern black eyebrows, and strong hands from plowing the rice paddies. Quan was her best friend; he had been the only child her age in her neighborhood, and they had become fast friends. "How are you today Mei?" he said awkwardly. Mei answered him, "Um, fine. What's on your mind Quan? You don't seem to be yourself." Quan looked uncomfortably around the restaurant; not that Mei could blame him, it was stunning. It had walls made out of gorgeous brown brick, and the windows were open today, so they could see the beautiful Tallow trees that had been planted outside of the restaurant. She looked toward him to see what he was about to say. "Mei Liu, after being your friend for so long, I have come to love you." He dropped down on one knee and said, "Mei Liu, from the house of Liu Wen, Will you marry me?"
Three weeks later, Mei was overwhelmed with wedding preparations. "Mei, you should have an nontraditional wedding." "No Mei, You should have a traditional wedding." Mei was tired of her mother and future mother-in-law fighting over the wedding. She finally got them to acknowledge her. "I am going to have a semi-traditional wedding, with the two loves of my life, Jesus and Quan." In came the opinions of the mothers. She just shrugged most of their opinions aside. She went to her small, simple room. She looked in her closet; there were only a couple of pairs of pants, and a couple jackets, but there was one beautiful red silk Qui Pao, beautifully embroidered with all the colors you could think of. Above the dress, there was the traditional Bridal Crown. She knew that the dress and crown had cost her family around six-thousand Yuan. Because of the one-child policy, the child usually got a very elaborate wedding.
The wedding was tomorrow, and Mei was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She was also nervous. She had ended her career with the secret police after she had become engaged. The secret police had contacted her once a week until two months ago, and she had not heard from them since then. She hoped she wasn't in trouble with the PSB for quitting. Or, she thought in the back of her mind, for helping Christians. She pushed the thought away. She knew that the consequences of helping Christians could be immense; she could be put into a solitary jail cell, with absolutely no contact with the outside world, or she could be beaten and tortured until she renounced the name of Jesus Christ. She shuddered at the thought. She convinced herself that she would be fine; her mother then came and told her to go to bed, tomorrow would be a long day.
The wedding music was playing. Mei Liu was very nervous; she kept saying, "I can't do this, I can't do this…" Right then, her mother came to her and said, "You will go up there when they play the bridal song." Her mother and mother-in-law had both at first objected to a traditional American wedding; but in the end, they finally agreed. Mei was very worried; she had seen a few members of the PSB outside of the small courtyard in which the ceremony would be held, but she shook the worry off. This was, after all, the best day of her life. She was wearing the beautiful Qui Pao and the bridal crown.
She heard the bridal song, it was now or never. Her father took her by the arm, and started walking her down the aisle. She got down to the end of the courtyard. The pastor asked, "Who gives up this woman to be wedded?" "Her mother and I." said her father, and then he went and sat down. Quan Said, "I Quan Xi, take you Mei Liu, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness." She then said her pledge to him. "I Mei Liu take you Quan Xi, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness."
This was the big moment, she had saved her very first kiss for her wedding day, the pastor was about to announce it. He said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." They were about to kiss when the PSB burst in the courtyard through the white picket fence. The PSB grabbed Mei and said, "You are under arrest for illegally contacting and warning the rebels." She was so terrified, sickened, and disgusted all at once. After they handcuffed her, she looked back at Quan Xi, and blew him a kiss.
Quan Xi looked over at Mei, and rushed to protect her, but the guards from the PSB ran up to him, and tried to hold him back, he somehow escaped, and then even more guards ran up to him to hold him back. He didn't know if he'd ever see her again, and so he began thinking; what if when she came back she had renounced her faith? What if…if she doesn't want to marry me anymore? By now the PSB had dragged Mei out of the courtyard; and Quan stood at the end of the courtyard, held back by the PSB guards, and he wept.
They shoved Mei into a van; she was ready to cry, but she couldn't show them any sign of weakness. They acted as though she was the slum of the earth, the slop in the pigsty. After they drove for about an hour, she was shoved into a cold, dark cell. Solitary she thought.
They then slammed the door, and she was engulfed in darkness; she was standing up, because she didn't want to get her dress stained in the waste of the prisoners who had been there before her. Then she broke. It was as simple as that. She cried and cried; she cried until there were no tears left, she cried and all of heaven cried with her. She dropped to her knees, overcome with tiredness; she fainted from exhaustion, and from sorrow.
When she awoke, she felt her way around the cell; the stench was unbearable. She felt around and guessed it was about fifteen square feet; she decided to get at least a little organized. She decided the top left corner would be where she slept; because it was the cleanest, and the other corners she would go in as little as possible, because of the human waste. Oh how she wished she could have a drink of water: cool, refreshing water. She felt around the cell again and felt a bowl; it was empty. Then she felt a jug, and the jug had a lid covering it; she took a drink of the water; she savored it because she didn't know how long it would be until she got more.
Just then she saw a panel in the door open, and she heard a voice say very, "Give me your jug and your bowl." The voice sounded very annoyed, but she handed over her jug and bowl. The jug came back first, and then came the bowl; filled halfway with lukewarm barley congee. Because of the congee, the rats came. She stood up abruptly, and started kicking them with her foot.
When the rats had all finally left, she took a bite of the congee. It was unseasoned, stale, and she was pretty sure it had something growing on it. She was pretty sure that it had been reheated more than a few times. She compared it to eating the scum she saw on the top of her koi pond at home. She kept eating it though; she had been so hungry that the food was a great relief.
She wondered how long it had been since her wedding. She guessed about three days. Then she heard her door slowly creaking open, "Miss. Mei Liu, come this way please." She presumed it was some sort of guard. She hesitantly followed. For the first time, she was able to see how much damage had been done to her dress. She was pleasantly surprised to see that her dress was only wrinkled. She was told to go wait in the "office". She was astonished at how nice everything was; Maple chairs, table, and dresser. She sat down in one of the chairs as instructed. Then she waited for what seemed like forever.
When the head guard came in, he motioned to the dressing room, and said, "Go change into these." Looking down at the pile of clothes, she could see that they were prisoner's garb. She did as she was told, then came back out. The guard said to her, "If you just renounce Jesus Christ as your savior, I will let you go and have your wedding, and I will give you your wedding dress back." She just now realized that they had taken her dress. Oh her beautiful dress, and she would get to see Quan again, and they could be married. "Make up your mind!" said the guard angrily. Mei was distraught, but she somehow uttered, "I… I can't. I can't renounce His name." The guard, now enraged, shouted at his men, "Rip the dress!" She couldn't believe it. Then, as she watched, they shredded her dress and proceeded to burn it. "No!" Mei shouted at the top of her lungs.
That was five years ago. She had woken up from the nightmare. She kept dreaming of the day that they had burnt her Qui Pao, the worst thing they had done to her by far over the course of five years. Yes they had beaten her, interrogated her fiercely, and put sand in her congee for weeks at a time, but the worst torture of all was the burnt dress, her hopes were gone, her dream of marrying Quan was gone. By now Quan would've married someone else.
She could replay her wedding in her mind, but it always ended when the PSB rushed in. She had nightmares about that day also. She hadn't really been tortured physically as much as she had mentally, seeing that they had spent endless hours making her sit in a room with a recording that constantly said, "Renounce Jesus, renounce Jesus…" But she would not deny Him.
She would never deny Him, He was the only thing that kept her alive in the cruel cells, and she loved Him with all of her heart. She loved Jesus more than life itself. Through it all God had become more real to her, more necessary to Life, He became the thing she had been looking for, the thing she had waited so long for. She could care less about the misery of the cells. She had Jesus.
"Mei Liu, Come Out." She wondered why the guard asked for her. It's only been a couple of days since the last "Interrogation." They usually wait weeks! The Guard had her come out of the cell, and he shoved her in the opposite direction of the office. "Be grateful you pitiful soul, you're being released!" The guard said, annoyed. Mei Liu asked, "How am I getting out of here? I thought I'd be here the rest of my life!" The guard answered, "You got lucky okay? Now stop questioning me!" With that she was shoved out the entrance to the prison.
As soon as she got out of the gate, she went to a public bathroom. She saw how awful she looked; she couldn't weigh more than seventy pounds. Her normally long, silky black hair was a short, tangled mess, and the clothes she wore were threadbare and stained. Her eyes had dark circles under them, and her face looked more like a thirty-five year old, as opposed to the young twenty-five she was. Her posture was bent over, and she had bruises on her face from the beating she had received two days earlier. Her lips were dry and cracked, and her green eyes didn't have their usual sparkle.
For the first time, she realized she was in her hometown of Xinbi. "Thank you Lord!" She sang praise at the top of her lungs, she was free! She hoped that her family still lived in the same house; so she started to walk towards her house. She hoped that her family was well and living; and she hoped that Quan was still single. Oh no, Quan! What if he was arrested because he was going to wed her what if-? Her thoughts were cut off when she saw her mother at the front door of their house. She shouted with joy in her voice, "Mama! I'm back!" Her mother looked up and had tears in her eyes. "Mei? Mei Liu, is it really you? It can't be, Mei?" Mei answered her, "Mama, it's me!" And the mother and child embraced.
"Mama, what happened to Quan?" Mei said after three days of talking, telling, and weeping. "Well dear, why don't you ask him yourself?" Mei turned around to see twenty-seven year old Quan Xi Standing behind her. "Mei? Oh Mei how I've missed you. I waited for you, we can finish the wedding ceremony tomorrow morning." Mei stuttered, "You…you waited for, me? There was not one day in that jail where I did not think of you, not one day where I didn't hope you waited." 'Oh Mei," said Quan, "I missed you so much, Mrs. Liu, may we be married this evening?"
So that very evening, Mei Liu and Quan Xi were married in Quan's Backyard; and this time, they had Christ as the center of their wedding. "I, Quan Xi, take Mei Liu to be my wonderful wife; I vow to love her as long as I live, and to protect her with my own life. I will take it upon myself, being the head of the family, to be the one who helps keep our family on the narrow road, I will pray for wisdom when I am not sure which way to go, and I promise to her that I will be faithful to her and Jesus my Savior. I will hold myself accountable to her on a daily basis. If she is sick, I will do everything in my power to help her be well, I will initiate the daily prayer and study of the bible, and I will seek guidance from the Holy Spirit on a daily basis." Mei Liu was crying tears of joy as she said her vows. "I, Mei Liu, Take Quan Xi to be my wonderful husband, I vow to love him as long as I live, and vow to submit to his authority, if it does not conflict with God's authority. I will help him by praying for him daily, and by not arguing against his better judgment. I will always be faithful to Quan Li and Jesus my Savior, and I will help him stay accountable, as I will be accountable to him. I will care for him tenderly, and if he is sick, I will do everything in my power to help him become well. I will help pray with him and I will seek guidance from the Holy Spirit on a daily basis."
The Pastor announced, "After a long wait, you may now kiss the bride." And with that said, a masked man came running through the courtyard, and Mei and Quan's family were all scared out of their skin."Just kidding." Mei Liu's dad said as he pulled off the mask. Mei didn't laugh. With the wedding ceremony finished, Mei gave Quan a kiss. And from that day forward, Mei Liu and Quan Xi both dedicated their lives to serving the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the one true love, Jesus.
In the end, Quan Xi and Mei Liu lived happily ever after, Quan Xi got a job as a traveling minister, and Mei Liu traveled with him everywhere he went. Together they started a ministry called Freedom Ministries. They used the ministry to help prisoners be freed from their sin, they would volunteer to help wash off the prisoners, and the floors of their cells, and then they would tell them how Jesus washed away their sins to make them white as snow. Eventually, Mei Liu bore a daughter whom they named Chang Ming, meaning "forever bright." Over the course of their lives, they helped over six thousand prisoners be freed from sin. Chang Ming continued the Freedom Ministry when her mother was too old to go to the prison, and she traveled to America to tell people about the cruelties of Communism. Mei lived to be 99 before she was raptured; and when she came up to heaven, she heard the almighty one say to her. "Well done, My beloved Mei Liu."
*Authors Note: Most of the events in this tale are fiction, nevertheless, there really was a woman who worked in the secret police, and she really was arrested on her wedding day. She really did have to spend five years in prison, and her fiancé really did wait for her.

I had a Ms. Edna Garrett moment when I saw the following at the at the Dupont Farmers Market yesterday.
Radicchio Rosso di Treviso. See what I made after the jump.
It's very unusual to find this type of radicchio in the states; it's typically cultivated in the Veneto region of Italy. Yes, it tastes just like regular radicchio–spicy, slightly bitter–but there's something cool about having radicchio look like romaine lettuce as opposed to small orbs. The length of the trevisio works wonders on the grill or in this case, in a variation on a Caesar Salad I had two months ago at Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles.
The salad was phenomenal, the sprightly dressing–orange zest and juice, garlic, dates and anchovies plays nicely with the bitterness of the radicchio. At Mozza this salad was served with red endive and fennel. Since I forgot to buy fennel and have had no luck finding red endive, the radicchio was a great substitute as both are related. Some large shavings of parmigiano reggiano round out the sweetness. All of the flavors brought to mind how a North African Caesar salad might be envisioned.
Now, a word about anchovies. Many don't like them but they are critical in this recipe. Follow these steps:
1. Anchovies–salt ones are preferred but oil packed anchovy fillets in a jar are fine.
2. Rinse the fillets under cold water.
3. Soak the fillets in whole milk for an hour.
4. Rinse off and pat dry.
These steps will help kill the "fishy essence" of the anchovy and leave you with something more ethereal; the anchovies assume a nutty flavor with accents of the sea. Stunning.
Now, if you don't have access to red endive or radicchio Trevisio, that's fine. Go ahead and use a combination of regular radicchio and Belgian endive–you will like the color with the addition of red otherwise the dish looks very flat. Otherwise, pretty much all of the ingredients are easily found at your local supermarket. Enjoy the salad. I craved it for days after dining at Osteria Mozza.
Endive, Fennel and Parmesan with Anchovy Date Dressing
serves 4-6
Osteria Mozza via The Kitchen
3 heads Belgian endive
1 fennel bulb plus handful of attached ferny fronds
2-3 oz Parmesan cheese, sliced or shaved into ribbons
4 large dates, pitted and finely chopped
8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 medium orange
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
Discard bruised or discolored outer leaves of endive. Peel away remaining leaves, wash them and set to dry on a towel.
Remove, wash and set aside 10-12 nice looking fennel fronds. Chop of remaining stalky fronds from top of bulb. Slice away any bruised or discolored parts of bulb. Slice 1/4″ or smaller pieces crosswise with a sharp knife or on a mandoline.
Prepare the dressing: in a large mixing bowl, combine dates, anchovies, zest from the orange, and garlic. Combine by mashing with the back of a spoon. In a small bowl, whisk together juice from the orange, oilve oil and vinegar. Stir into date mixture.
Set out plates. Dredge and tap off pieces of endive and fennel and stack alternately with Parmesan on each plate. Garnish with a few cracks of pepper and a few fennel fronds.

WISN news in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is reporting that a neighborhood has been evacuated in connection with this morning's mass shooting at a Sikh Temple in Oak Creek.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "Shortly after 5 p.m., neighbors said a team of law enforcement officers, including from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, had entered a home in Cudahy. Authorities have blocked off several streets surrounding the house."
The WISN reporters state that there is a "huge police presence" surrounding the duplex in the Cudahy neighborhood and that about two dozen families have been told to leave.
The residents have been instructed not to talk with news media, and it is not clear whether the police have reason to believe here is any danger or if they are using extreme caution because of the booby-trapped apartment of the Aurora, Colorado shooter.
According to a helicopter news crew, what appeared to be a bomb-sniffing dog was led around the perimeter of a house on Holmes Avenue as police attempted to determine how to enter. At 6:20 local time, an armored assault vehicle had arrived along with trailers full of equipment.
Note: Additions and corrections have been made to this story as it develops.

Also this has been the hardest top ten i have ever done.
Ground Rules:
All shows were watched Legally on Crunchyroll or Funimation or Daisuki, if your fav show isn't on the list it probably didn't come to either of those Sites... or i may have just not enjoyed it...
All of the shows on this list were finished by me in 2015... this doesn't limit the list to 2015 shows only... watched a lot of older stuff as well.
i'm going over 10... cause this year was actually full of stellar titles.
Honourable Mentions:
Trails in the Sky: AnimationWhile it's probably the most inaccurate title... as it only covers the first half of the second game (and completely leaves out the best character) i still had fun... just not enough for it to hit the numbered part of the list.
This i bought on DVD from Sentai~
The List:
18. Cute High Earth Defence Club LOVE!I adored this show, the concept of magical boys was done so well and the humor was on point.
But the reason this is in the last place on the list is simple.
The company that is distributing it in North America is charging 70+ for 4 episode 'special edition'
except it's not a special edition because there is no Regular edition THEREFOR the special edition IS the regular edition...
but that aside i would never pay 70 for 4 episodes.
Season 1 of Haruhi Suzumiya came close to that honestly but in the end i always got the sets on sale.
It kills me knowing i will never own this show (unless the company which is stupid enough to think a japanese price scale will work in north america gets it's head out of it's ass and prices based on what we have determined market value)
I understand why Aniplex pulled this kind of pricing for madoka magica (which i would love to own but no... not for that price)... but pony canyon is in for a world of hurt if they think this show has that kind of pull (same goes for Rokka which is at best a fun but mediocre show)
Happy we are getting season 2... upset it'll never be on my shelf. therefor last.
You can watching on Crunchyroll.
17. Wagnaria!!! (Working!!!)This show has probably the slowest moving plot of any show i've enjoyed... but this past season was great with an amazing amount of growth.
I'm so sad that it's coming to an end... one final special to end it all. wait... it's aired...
guess i jumped the gun on this.
Okay, now that i've watched it I am happy, very cute final episode... btu i can't put this any higher since i needed to be in a certain mood to even watch it... still loved it.
I believe all three seasons are available on crunchyroll.
16. Summer WarsThere were so many good shows this year that would feel kinda bad for putting this much higher.
I loved this movie, it's probably my fav of this director (though the girl who leaped through time is stellar as well.) So yeah go see it, i wish i could put it higher but i can't.
I do love how it shows technology as something that can be used to bond with different generation instead of fearing it.
Got the Bluray from Funimation... i do think it's on their website but only view able if you are a subscriber.
15. MononokeA Visually Stunning Anime that should be watched at least once if you can stomach some of the themes.
Again this would be higher but i'm still upset about that final episode. But the art and music still make it one of the best shows i've seen all year.
I would describe it but... a medicine seller does stuff.... the art is lovely... thats all i've got.
You can watch it on Crunchyroll
14. School Live!Rarely do i watch a show simply because of a neat concept but i thoroughly enjoyed this show. I went in expecting a terrible show about Moe girls in a club (where they never leave the school hence the title) and i ended up with a wonderful show about moe girls in a club (ok there is more to it but check it out for yourself if you want!)
You can watch this on Crunchyroll.
13. Kamisama Kiss 2I love Paranormal mixing with Current times... and i love romantic comedies (at least in anime) so smash the two together and it's bound to be a good time. I mean who doesn't love the story of a human turned God falling in love with her familiar...
However this feel like a middle season... and i know we will eventually get more so yay for cuteness (and a better intro song) but still fairly low on the list. '
You can watch it on Funimation
12. Death ParadeThe intro to this show is addicting... also doesn't tell you about the show at all.
and interestign concept animated beautifully with a heart wrenching ending that still has stuck with me.
However... and i guess this is a bit of a spoiler... but oh well.. i get a bit annoyed with shows that don't have much progression. yes plot happened but where they are at the end is not very different from the start. yes they grew but... it doesn't really matter?
it's tough... still that ending... *sniffle*
You can watch it on Funimation
11. Gangsta.I never expected to watch this show... the intro is full of scantily clad girls and drugs and needles and just felt super dark and gritty which i don't tend to like since people forget dark =/= mature.
But after watching the first episode and seeing it was much more then a show about a seedy town with a horrible class system... it was also about being able to lead a normal live (or hell be better then normal) when some people may think you have a disability... it shows in so many ways how it wasn't a disability at all.
it's not higher cause it just ends
and then the studio filed for bankruptcy.
I will eventually pick up the manga but having this show end and then reading that the company had vanished too... that was probably the most heartbreaking event this year.
Anyways you can watch it on Funimation.... They did a simuldub so that probably means they are putting out the Bluray eventually... otherwise if they aren't who knows how long the license will last.
10. Dance With DevilsMy mind was blown when this reverse harem turned out to be a musical.
and yeah not all the music is great but a lot of it is really enjoyable.
But it didn't stop there, it wasn't afraid to push the boundaries for what a show primarily targeted at girls can be.
There is a lot of blood and gore.
Not everyone survives the series and no one is brought back through the power of friendship or love (despite there being literal devils to make deals with)
It is still pretty fresh in my mind, maybe if this had ended months ago it would be lower but these year end things always have to deal with time.
You can watch it on Funimation.
Ok see now we get to the problem.
if any of the following shows were in a separate year from each other... they could all possibly be my number 1 pick.
but they all ended up in 2015... so this is going to be fun.
9. Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a DungeonUh... this would be higher but.. i guess going on the anime alone it does leave some key world details that the novel goes in depth... and the cliffhanger ending is a bit of a FU but i'm sure that'll be resolved in another season.
The main thing about this show is that the title is terrible and doesn't do the show justice at all... the novel actually answers the titles question in the first line. "it's a terrible idea to pick up girls in a dungeon"
The show focuses around Bell, a new adventurer who seems to be growing abnormally fast.
It is a harem show in the fact that Bell, unwittingly, woos many a lady but it never goes anywhere because Bell is far too innocent (in the anime... in the book his mind goes there but he never shows it)
But yeah despite the stupid title the show is good and not as fanservicy as you would expect.
You can see it on Crunchyroll and the novels are available from Yen Press (i got them on ebook)
8. My Teen Romantic Comedy is SNAFU Too!!This... this is harder then it's ever been.
This show... i know a lot of people find the main character a bit too depressing... but honestly i get him... i get why he acts that way and i've acted similar ways myself.
This show connected on a level this season that i didn't expect.
I cried a lot... not even when sad things happened... just seeing the reaction to his actions and feeling my heart break.
And yet it's so low on this list.... this year sucks... it was too good.
Watch it on Crunchroll
7. Seraph of the EndWhen i fist watched this show i figured i would bail pretty early.
I don't like vampires, the potential for being OP was just too real.
then i heard the music and the first words out of my mouth were "dammit this is going to be my fav show this season"
and it was one of them... yeah a lot of people find Yuu and Mika's relationship a bit close but whatever... people can't seperate love of ones family for love then thats their problem...
not saying it wont have a chance of going that way later i'm just saying wait till it actually happens.
Why so low? the endings to episodes were... well cliffhanger-y and i can only smash my head into my desk so many times and swear at my monitor so many times before i get a little annoyed.
Great show though.
Watch both seasons (vampire reign and Battle of Nagoya) on Funimation
Looking at the remaining ones on the short list.... oh this is going to hurt.
6. Durarara x2Oh it hurts.
well it's not as well designed in it's non-linear-ness as season one... and... uh... Orihaya isn't in it nearly enough... and it's technically not even done... we've only had 2.1 and 2.2.... 2.3 is in january.
so... i guess that means it can be lower on the list
just... go watch it on cruchyroll... it has both dub and subs (i prefer the sub personally... ryuugamine sounds so wooden)
5. Yona of the DawnThe show is amazing, i was worried i wouldn't enjoy this type of story since it's obviously a big epic journey type story and those sometimes lose their point and get dull.
Not this show, the music, the characters, all so well realized.
However the final isn't found till the end of the season... and with no second season in sight i have to be super nitpicky.
This year is killing me...
watch it on Crunchyroll AND Funimation
4. Your Lie In AprilThe hell is up with this year.
Ok, this show has the most accurate depictions of PTSD and Anxeity... watching this show made my heart ache... i felt so connected to the main character and watching them struggle through their trauma made me want to push myself a bit more.
The main character desperately wants to play but his trauma stops him from playing which feeds into his anxiety which feeds into his trauma... however a girl who plays a violin comes by his side and convinces him to keep playing even while she's dealing with her own trauma.
The animation is some of the best i have ever seen, the story is heartbreaking and thinking about it is making me tear up and i cannot believe that it's not the best show i've seen.
why... uh...
because when i look at the other titles i can't put this above the others?
it's a little slow at the start too i guess.
such a good show.
Watch it on Crunchyroll.
only a few more... i can do this..
3. My LOVE Story!!this show warms my heart, i love it.
Takeo is just about the manliest man man to ever man... and his best friend Suna is the popular boy that everyone loves and no one likes poor little (huge) Takeo.
One day he helps stop a groper and the girl he helps ends up really liking him... and it's just adorable.
It's also not a "will they wont they" for the entire season... they get together very early... and it just so sweet and cute.
Also i love the idea that Suna may like Takeo but you know... respects the way that he doesn't swing that way and just wants his best friend to be happy. (not confirmed but... look how he smiles and remembers everything about him... so adorable)
i hope we get more.... but i do have 5 more volumes of the manga headed to my door... so yeah... there is that.
Watch it on Chruchyroll, it's so much fun.
2. Snow White with the Red HairI made my friend marathon this show... and despite the terrible intro song the show is practically perfect.
Shirayuki rocks, never feels like a damsel in distress (despite the numerous kidnappings/ imprisonments)
It's a smart show with an adorable romantic plot that deals with issues like Class and possibly figuring out who may just be trying to use Zen position as prince.
another season airs in january... i am looking forward to it.
i hope the manga gets licensed soon so i can own that.
i love this show
but i love one show just a hair more.
watch this on Funimation.
*deep breath*
Surprise to no one
1. Noragami: AragotoThis season was amazing, yes it had some cliffhanger-y endings much like seraph... i don't care, the pacing was great the characters were wonderful and grow so much in 13 episodes.
i need a season 3
i need it now.
Yato is a god who is charing 5 yens for any type of job... but in the past he was a god of calamity. However with his new Shinki Yukine and a human girl whose spirit escapes her body he menages to grow and cut ties to his past.
Much like my love story... i also have a ton of noragami manga coming my way so i wont have to wait (unless they are at the same point and then i will cry)
Hiroshi Kamiya is great as Yato.
Yukine is pure adorable and we finally learn more about Bishamon
also that intro
just when you think it's over there is more.
i love this show.
i love all these shows
Anime in 2015 was just so good.
watch this on Funimation
and that't it
it was hard... you could probably ask me when i'm in a different mood and this order may be completely different
but one thing is true... there were no shortage of amazing titles... even if some of those titles were long and stupid.
Here's to 2015... hope you can live up to my hopes! (read as Natsume Yuujinchou 5 please?)
Next... Games!
then The worst/most annoying things
should be fun

( I should say here, that there are very strict limits as to how many you can take and how big they need to be!)
Anyway, mum loves them and we've been so busy since she got here that last night was the first time we were actually able to have crayfish for dinner.
After trying out lots of different ways of cooking them we learned last year that steaming them in a fish kettle was the absolute best way. It keeps all the flavour in!
So, Lloyd went out to the garden and gathered up keffir lime leaves, a couple of limes, coriander, some lemongrass and used some of our garlic. How amazing to have all this in our garden!! We ended up having a dinner, that in a restaurant, would have been extortionate - and here we were having it for the price of a dive tank fill.
The smell while this was cooking was amazing - it was like we were in Thailand! Lloyd steamed them for 20 minutes and they were absolutely delicious! The tails came out of the shells perfectly.
It was served with a baby rocket salad, toasted walnuts, shaved parmesan and a simple lemon dressing. Mum said it was the best meal she'd had since arriving and I have to say I agree. Lloyd did himself and the crayfish proud - I think they were the best I've ever had!

Community growing space opens in Waterside
Published: Wed, 3 Jun 2015
Share |
A once derelict piece of waste ground has been transformed into a community growing space in Derry-Londonderry, thanks to funding from the Housing Executive.
Our Grounds team has been working with the Caw/Nelson Drive Action Group to create the new space at Sperrin Park, close to the Crescent Community and Cultural Centre.
The official opening of the garden on Friday was the last duty of Stephen Stewart, an avid allotmenteer, who retired after 46 years as our Waterside district maintenance manager.
BBC Radio Foyle's gardening expert, Gareth Austin, has also held workshops at the growing space over the last month.
The growing space has been established to allow older men and women living on the estate to come together to learn how to grow their own vegetables as well as building a better sense of community.
Stephen Proctor, Grounds Maintenance Manager, said:
"This growing space will benefit local people by improving physical and mental health through regular outdoor activities. It will educate and empowering them to improve their dietary intake and also offers an opportunity to acquire new skills.
"This positive use of outdoor space to teach people where their food comes from at a time and have access to healthy and affordable food is vital.
"This type of project has shown that there is a reduction in anti-social behaviour within estates because there is a greater sense of ownership of green spaces."
Linda Watson, Co-Ordinator of the Caw/Nelson Drive Action Group, said:
"Once again, we are delighted to have worked in partnership with the Housing Executive's grounds team in creating this wonderful space in the heart of our community.
"It's all about people getting out of the house, learning how to grow vegetables and flowers from seeds and sharing ideas.
"We are really looking forward to seeing the vision coming to fruition over the coming months and hopefully the residents who will be looking after the beds will get many hours of pleasure from the space."

If you are tired to work for someone else you have a great option. You can just write for different websites and get paid. You can relax in your own home and write a few hours a day. First step is to find a few websites to subscribe and just start working for yourself.
Your home business needs some work also. Just because you are in charge now does not mean that you can just sleep all day long. Write on a paper the hours you will be working every day and follow your schedule.
In order to find work you can read what other people experienced with writing on internet. You can find some success stories and you can follow their example. If you have already a laptop you can start your new job.
Write about what you know. It's always better because your article will have a good quality and also you can make a lot more money. If you write an article which you have to research you will be needing twice as much time to finish it.
It's important to read a lot also. This way you make a good research and your work will be better. Do not use the same words as somebody else. This will only destroy your reputation as a writer and it will be very difficult to get any good jobs. Another reason for not doing this is that you will not respect yourself anymore.
Keep the flow of work by subscribing to more than one website. This way you are even more independent. No matter what you will always have from where to make your money. If your only writing source will not function any longer than you will lose a lot of money also.
Choose a nice chair and a desk for your internet business. All has to look as official as possible. This will make you realize that you have to take everything very seriously. There will not be any distractions around you.
It takes time to earn enough money from writing for the internet. You have to train yourself to type fast and also to train your mind. You shouldn't give up because if you really want it you will succeed. Normally it takes a few month until you will be able to live from this.
Before writing an article try to note down the main ideas. This way you will be able to work faster. Make sure you have with you always a pen and a paper to note down the ideas you have during the day.
Microsoft Word is one of the programs most writer use for their writing. It has a very good grammatical and spell check. This will help you a lot. Also you can make the page to look as esthetic as you wish.
Take two days free every week and two small vacations a year. In these days do not write at all. This will help your mind to relax. You need a break to be able to work better when you get back. The great thing about this is that you will actually miss it. If you work all the time you risk to lose your inspiration.
But this route requires that a massive amount of content be created in a short amount of time ' that means discipline. Computer Work At Home Special offers and discounts can be the best way to break the ice and get people spending. Without researching market successes, you will be fighting a constant uphill battle into success.

COVOLV: CUETZALAN, PUEBLA, MEXICO from COVOLV on Vimeo.
Cuetzalan is a center of many indigenous cultures, but primarily of the Nahuas (descendants of the Aztec empire whose language is called Nahuatl).
Cuetzalan's beauty is characterized by sloping cobbled streets and numerous rustic buildings, handicraft markets as well as numerous stalls selling every-day necessities. As a tourist attraction, the town also has archaeological treasures, churches, convents, waterfall, caves, and a few bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
Cuetzalan is a living dream.
Contact us to Package and Design your Retreats
For all inquiries please contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com | firstname.lastname@example.com | CLICK TO PAST RETREATS, PAST CAMPAIGNS AND TESTIMONIALS.
Cuetzalan is located in the state of Puebla (183 km), just a few hours from Mexico City (300 km), in a cloud forest, in the Sierra Norte region at the nexus of mountain ranges of the states Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca.
Cuetzalan is the center of many indigenous cultures, but primarily of the Nahuas (descendants of the Aztec empire whose language is called Nahuatl).
The Nahua peoples are thought to have originated in what is now the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. They split off from the other Uto-Aztecan peoples (Uto-Aztecan is a Native American Family consisting of over 30 languages and the Uto-Aztecan homeland is generally thought to have been somewhere in the Sonoran Desert, which encompasses Arizona, New Mexico and northern Mexico) and migrated into central Mexico at some point around 500 CE. They settled in and around the Basin of Mexico and spread to become the dominant people in central Mexico. Some important Mesoamerican civilizations were of Nahua ethnicity, for example, the Toltec and Aztec cultures, as well as the Tepaneca, Acolhua, Tlaxcaltec, Xochimilca, and many more.
Tosepan Titataniske Cooperative
Tosepan Titataniske is a cooperative that was formed 36 years ago in Cuetzalan, in response to long history of discrimination, the loss of farmland, and the attempts to destroy their native culture, language and beliefs.
Today this cooperative has over 8,000 members and cultivates organic coffee, thanks to a technique of mixing crops for both cultivation and soil protection.
Tosepan Titataniske is determined to set and maintain a fair price for the farmers of Cuetzalan and the surrounding areas through different strategies that maintain the economic sustainability of the cooperative's members.
One of Tosepan Titataniske's strategies is the employment of agro-forestry, whose rich biodiversity allows the co-op members to harvest coffee, and other products all year round. Coffee, however, is still the central crop, and the rich taste of the Tosepan Brand originates on verdant hillsides tended by cooperative members who are educated in agro-forestry and organic agriculture techniques (their main buyer country is Japan). Other products raised by the cooperative are organic Raw Honey, Raw Sugar and Pepper as well as other bio-diverse products (their main buyer for these is the European Union).
Tosepan Kali Hotel & Spa Alternative Tourism
Tosepan Kali is located 15 minutes away from the town of Cuetzalan. Road Cuetzalan to San Miguel Tzincapan, Cuetzalan del Progreso, Puebla. Mexico.
Another strategy of business diversification is Sustainable Tourism. Tosepan Kali is a Social Enterprise, constituted as a Cooperative of Tourism Services, that is part of Tosepan Titataniske Coop.
Tosepan Kali's Cooperative was born when the members of the coop realized that agricultural crops alone would not sustain their ventures, also because of the necessity to provide hospitality and shelter to their own members. This is how the cooperative leadership decided to build a guesthouse and use it to stimulate eco-tourism in the area.
Today, Tosepan Kali's doors are open to the conscious tourism that supports and respects nature, human rights, sustainability as well as the values of the Nahua and Totonac Culture and the Cooperative's Society Lifestyle.
Tosepan Kali Alternative Hotel & Spa is a group of friendly hard-working young people that offer authentic service, high quality rural tourism and ecological education to their visitors.
- 9 cabins for families or couples
- Each cabin has a theme its decoration and layout refers to an element of the natural and cultural treasures of the region
- Bamboo Hotel – single or double rooms with panoramic views
Cuebanas are located 20 minutes away by car from Tosepan Kali and 25 minutes hike inside the sierra.
- 5 bamboo – cave cabins
- At the Riverbank of Cuichat river
- Cave-style camping near waterfalls and cascades
In their process of building Tosepan Kali the members of the Coop traded information with Japanese experts in bamboo cultivation. Working together they established bamboo groves to supply sustainable and climate-appropriate building materials. Using this bamboo, they built a three-story lodge and cabins scattered throughout the compound boasting green building innovations like recycled water and reclaimed stone for pathways, overlooking a dramatic vista and offering full hotel's services provided by local residents and members of the co-op.
Tosepan Kali's dishes are based on the delicious traditional Nahua cuisine. Most ingredients are organic from their own nursery (and bank seed) that is fully organic and sustainable. Also, some fruits and vegetables are provided by the gardens of the coop members from the villages around Tosepan Kali. Both Cuetzalan and Tosepan Kali provide an immersion in the Nahua experience: imagine the divine Nahua landscape, the flavors, the tradition and culture, and the unique friendly and loving dedicated hospitality service.
Profits from their collective ventures and retreats go into projects like:
- A Cultural Cooperative for children and teenagers that is dedicated to maintaining and preserving their culture and traditions
- A Free Montessori-Tosepan preschool, elementary and middle school
- A Training Center dedicated to preparing their members for eco-tourism, agro-forestry and other sustainable careers
- A nonprofit local bank that provides micro-loans to initiate new projects
- A Cooperative lead by women
- A Sustainable Building Cooperative
- In Cuetzalan, every project or program works with the human sustainability mind set, with the goal of maintaining their environment, culture, stable economy and improving their quality of life. Living a simple, abundant and safe life

Michelle has a blonde moment: Corrie babe gets lost on way to studio
MICHELLE Keegan was reportedly late for filming - after accidentally driving to the OLD Corrie studios.
The brunette babe was chatting to a radio host when she said "I'm on the way to the old Corrie!"
According to The Sun, distracted Michelle added: "Oh my God, I can't believe it.
"I need to turn around."
The ITV soap moved from Granada studios in Manchester to Salford in December.
But Michelle only has to remember where her work is for a few months more as her character is to be killed off.
The actress, who is moving to Essex to be with her fiancé and TOWIE star Mark Wright, told OK! magazine: "I'll be doing my last Corrie scenes and crying my eyes out.
"Looking at it now I'd rather go out of Corrie with a bang than off in a black cab."

Enjoy beautiful wildlife and bird watching all year around. Whether you are looking for a short stroll to a longer walk right around the reservoir, there are plenty of points at which to stop and take in the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
Llys y Frân reservoir is set in a peaceful country park of grass and mature woodland with picturesque views of the nearby Preseli hills. There are sites around the Park to tell the stories behind the dam, the reservoir and the abundance of wildlife you can see at Llys y Frân.
Dogs are welcome but in the interest of other visitors, should be kept on a lead at all times.
The circular footpath is approximately 6.5 miles and includes a self- guided nature trail. A disabled-accessible trail is now open within the wooded area south of the Stilling basin.
Sites of Historic Interest
A derelict cottage – birth place of Williams Rowlands, composer of the famous Welsh hymn, 'Blaen Wern'. A monument located near to the cottage was commissioned by Welsh Water in March 1993.
Welsh Water has initiated a number of projects at its reservoirs in order to improve the environment including re-planting with deciduous trees and the creation of ponds and wildflower meadows.

Ouya, makers of the $99 home video game console that runs on a customized version of Android, is starting to test out a limited time subscription pass. Valued at over $2,000, customers who pay $59.99 will get access to a library of 800 games for a year.
When users sign up for the pilot subscription, which brings a Netflix-like experience to gaming, they will get a code emailed to them that they can redeem on their Ouya console.
"The OUYA All-Access pass applies to one-time purchases under $30, such as full game unlocks and level-pack add-ons," the company said as part of its terms. "In-game purchases that enhance gameplay, and that can be done more than once, such as extra lives, potions, power-ups, etc, are not included."
Anything that is covered by the pass will show up with a $0.00 list price.
Ouya says that this isn't a permanent offer just yet and the company says that the subscription is a time limited offer with limited quantities.
At this time, it may seem that Ouya's promotion may be reactionary to Google's latest Android TV initiative which brings games and access to the Play store to TVs.
Is this something that you're excited about? Would you want Android TV to offer a similar promotion perhaps?

Koriel Checking In!
Hey I'm Koriel, and I'm mainly in charge of aesthetics and level design. The making of this game has been a ton of fun so far, and I've been learning so many new things about game design every day. Our setup as of now has John, Speedo and I working about 8+ hours per day, so we're getting a lot done! Right now it's break time, which means: time for some Skyward Sword. Later!

|Home > Geometrical Behaviours: An Architectural Mise-en-scène for a Reenactment of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The content of this thesis is two-fold. The first part takes the form of an essay while the second part presents a theoretical project for an architectural installation. Using these two modes as different ways to address similar issues, the present work proposes to question the instrumentalisation of geometry in today's architectural practice. The work of Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson) and, more specifically, his masterpiece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, will be approached and interpreted in order to observe the participation of geometry–of Euclidean geometry–in our understanding of the notions of space and time, and to reveal their paradoxical aspect. The aim is to explore how geometry, language and nonsense bear intimate connections to our perception of space and time. Once revealed, these connections will enable us to address the following question: can architecture be comprehended and experienced as an event?

Britain could start Afghanistan pull-out in 2011: Cameron
Britain could start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next year, Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC radio today after talks with US President Barack Obama.world Updated: Jul 21, 2010 17:26 IST
Britain could start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next year, Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC radio on Wednesday after talks with US President Barack Obama.
Cameron, who took office two months ago, said in June he wanted British troops home before the next general election, due by May 2015.
But he went further on Wednesday following talks at the White House, saying Britain could begin scaling back its 9,500-strong deployment in Afghanistan in 12 months' time, if local forces could handle responsibility for security.
Obama has said he plans to reduce US troop levels from July in 2011.
Asked by the BBC if Britain could do the same, Cameron said: "Yes, we can but it should be based on the conditions on the ground.
"The faster we can transition districts and provinces to Afghan control, clearly the faster that some forces can be brought home.
"I don't want to raise expectations about that because that transition should be based on how well the security situation is progressing.
"People in Britain should understand we're not going to be there in five years' time, in 2015, with combat troops or large numbers because I think it's important to give people an end date by which we won't be continuing in that way.
"But I hope that with the strategy we have, the build-up of the Afghan army, the transitioning of districts of provinces, as the president said, it will be possible to bring some troops home."
At a conference in Kabul on Tuesday, the international community endorsed sweeping Afghan government plans to take responsibility for security by 2014, forge peace to end nine years of war and take greater control of aid projects.
The majority of Britain's troops in Afghanistan are engaged in battling Taliban insurgents and training local forces in the violence-wracked southern Helmand Province.
A total of 322 British troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the start of operations there in 2001, at least 283 of them as a result of hostile action.

What is the tax treatment of U.S. shareholders of the Company?
What is the tax treatment of U.S. shareholders of the Company? The Company was a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") prior to 2004. As a result of a change in its activities during 2004, the Company was not a PFIC in 2004 with respect to (i) a shareholder who had a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election in effect for the entire period that he held shares of the Company or (ii) a shareholder who did not acquire shares of the Company prior to January 1, 2004, and the Company does not currently expect to be a PFIC in 2005 or subsequent years with respect to shareholders described above. Accordingly, such a shareholder is taxed on dividends paid to him by the Company, rather than paying tax on his pro rata share of the Company's income as was the case prior to 2004. Beginning in 2005, the Company's dividends should be treated as "qualified dividend income" that is taxable to a non-corporate U.S. shareholder described above at preferential tax rates (through 2008), provided that the shareholder satisfies certain holding period requirements.
In the case of a shareholder who acquired his shares of the Company prior to January 1, 2004 and did not have a QEF election or a "mark-to-market" election in effect for the entire period that he held shares of the Company, the shareholder will continue to be subject to the PFIC rules for 2004 and subsequent years despite the change in the Company's operations, unless the shareholder makes a "deemed sale" election pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 1298(b)(1). Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the procedure for, and the consequences of, making this election.
Why do dividends vary so much?
After having paid its expenses the company has historically distributed, in each quarter, all its cash. The expenses being relatively stable from quarter to quarter, this means that the charterhire earned in a quarter has determined the Company?s distribution.
Under the Shell bareboat charters, the charterhire earned by the Company was market related and subject to significant changes from quarter to quarter. The charterhire was determined based on an assessment of the tanker market for the quarter made by the London Tanker Broker Panel. The charterhire was subject to a floor, and if the market assessment by the London Tanker Broker Panel was lower than the floor rate then the Company received the floor rate. The floor rate was equivalent to a time charter equivalent rate of US$32,569 per day. At the floor rate the Company has been able to distribute to its shareholders US$0.44-0.45 per share for the quarter.
Under the new trading arrangements that the Company has in place, earnings will still include a significant component that is market related and distributions may continue to vary quarter to quarter.
When is the next dividend going to be paid?
The Company makes distribution to shareholders after each quarter. The announcement of distribution will normally made approximately one month after the end of the quarter and payment will be made about 25 days after the announcement.
Is Knightsbridge Shipping a limited partnership?
No it is not a limited partnership. Knightsbridge is a Limited Liability Company incorporated in Bermuda.

Nearly 150 small business leaders from local chambers assembled to hear about economic development efforts in Albany, County initiatives to help local businesses and preserve bus service and solutions to address mandate relief. The LI Business Council, Nassau Council of Chambers, Suffolk Alliance of Chambers and Vision Long Island jointly hosted the first of its kind meeting.
Newly appointed Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino publically embraced the revitalization process in downtown Hicksville that has been moving forward with the coordination of Oyster Bay staff, the Hicksville Chamber and local civic associations. as well as working to bring revitalization to the Town though Transit Oriented Development. Supervisor Saladino spoke on how he was working to clean up toxic plume in the town and also covered initiatives in the building department to go with his new Commissioner, including same-day permitting, which is a big shift from previous policy. He then closed his update by noting that the town was moving forward with ethics reform and an independent ethics board governed by residents.
NYS Senator Phil Boyle, Chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business, spoke about reforms to NYS economic development funding bringing more local input into the decision making process of grants and project selection. He also committed to advancing the Small Business Savings Accounts legislation that has passed the Senate over the last two years with the prospect of Assembly support this year. "One of the bills that we discussed was the Small Business Tax Deferred Savings Account Legislation that I took over as sponsor from former State Senator Jack Martins," he said. "This bill … would create a savings account for those difficult times. We've seen in recent years the upturns and downturns of the economy. This would allow you to put money aside, tax deferred, for those difficult times for your small business. It's passed the Senate the last two years in a row, I'm expecting it to pass again in the next month. We've got to give a boost to get it past the Assembly, so give a call to your local Assembly people, Republican or Democrat, make sure they get on board. It's a common sense piece of legislation."
He also addressed the current budget and the process for securing economic development funding for Long Island communities. "We need to have input that really counts. We're looking to the regional councils and input from the state legislature," said Senator Boyle. "To have an equal number of representatives on the council from the local legislators who know the area the best. And when they vote, we're talking about a 50/50 split. The governor's going to have 50% of the say and the legislators and local folks will have 50% of the say. That's the way it should be."
Also at the meeting Nassau Deputy Presiding Officer Richard Nicollelo and Legislator Laura Curran stood together in a bipartisan display of support for additional funding with specific actions to keep Nassau buses running despite looming cuts. Nassau County Legislator Laura Curran spoke on the current situation with NICE bus and the funding shortfall from the legislature. She noted that there were several possible solutions to the problem, including various pots of funding that were possible to make up the $6.8 million cut in subsidy to the bus service. Curran noted there are leftover pots of funding from previous bus grants that had yet to be used as well as a rainy day fund with over $30 million currently sitting in it. She also noted that what is really necessary is a dedicated revenue stream with possibilities including a fee to use ride share programs and a portion of the MTA payroll tax dedicated to the buses. Republican Deputy Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello also spoke on the busses, echoing the need for funding and a dedicated revenue stream. He noted that the Nassau County Interim Finance Authority was still required to sign off on any decisions but they would work on this issue in a bipartisan fashion.
Suffolk County Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory updated the group about his Next Generation Committee to keep young people on Long Island and his study on the feasibility of a dragstrip in Suffolk County.
Former Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy spoke clearly about crushing mandates to local taxpayers with remedys such as pension reform, striking the triborough amendment and other laws that cripple local governments. He talked about the cost of mandatory arbitration as the system in its current form is causing pensions to dry up and hurts future workers. His group the Center for Cost Effective Government has developed legislation sponsored by NYS Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick to address some of these issues.
Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy spoke to the room about his office's efforts to revamp how they work with local business. He noted that they have been moving away from processing paper vouchers, of which they would see over 225,000 per week, to integrate electronic transfers instead. These efforts will help to speed up how business interacts with his office as well as bring the County into compliance with state law. He also noted that Suffolk County is working harder than ever to track fraud, with the introduction of a hotline last year that will allow anonymous tips. Through this system they were able to initiate 8 audits following fraud investigations into local perpetrators. He also spoke on the need to reform internet sales tax to help local business and noted that hotel/motel revenue needs to be dedicated to tourism in order to keep visitors and funds flowing into the island.
Suffolk Chamber's Co-Chair Gina Coletti announced downtown revitalization grant programs and Nassau Chamber's President Francesca Carlow delivered an impassioned plea to shop locally and avoid internet purchases. Luiz Vazquez of the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce talked briefly about his organization's current efforts and welcomed a partnership with the LI Business Council and the varying local chambers. Local Villages officials from Farmingdale, Babylon and Freeport joined the meeting seeking solutions and partnerships to grow their downtown business districts.
The LIBC, Suffolk Chambers, Nassau Chambers, Vision Long Island will join the 90 member LI Lobby Coalition will include over 20 chambers of commerce and follow up on many of these items at their annual Lobby Day in Albany in two weeks.
Special thanks to LIBC Co-Chairs Bob Fonti and Rich Bivone for convening this important forum. Thanks as well to Michael Harrison for his assistance preparing us for LI Lobby Day.

As the year 2014 enters, five supermoon dates are expected and the first will be on January 1, the first new moon of the month before another one on January 30 (Chinese New Year), making January 2014 the only month with TWO supermoons until January 2018. Here's to love, hope and magic against the apocalypse!
happy new year and best wishes
Here's my quick filler for 2013 - since the last time I posted a year ago, I got busy. I admit I started my year off pretty chill - having the time to read Murakami's 1Q84 in book form, at home with it's weight on my lap. Then I headed towards my year of unreal, amazing Miamitime basically. I attended the Fountainhead residency for March-April, the Wild Bush residency in Lac Pacquin QC in June, and went back to work at the Fountainhead studios from July-August. I recently came back from another two weeks in Miami for the shitshow that is ABMB. I showed work at Pulse with a gallery from Mexico City. I stayed an extra week after all the fair crazytime to touch real base and to celebrate my birthday for the very first time in warmth, in all of my 32 years on this earth, ending the night by belting impromptu acapella ukelele covers at The Corner til 4am. It was glorious.
I also went back to school... I'm a grad student now at York University and it's free. Keeping my bases covered, I have to make sure I stay on point.
A few group and a couple solo projects, and making plans for the forthcoming, studio dreams, working all the time, collaboration, sharing, dialogue, finding meaning, love, existential angst, political rage, ADHD etc etc.
And like that a year has whizzed by. Have you ever noticed that as one gets older, every day seems painfully long, but a month disappears in the blink of an eye? I'm a old dog now and will be posting my homework shortly.
I had a good year, and hope you did too!

Handicar, for the most part, was an entertaining mockery of popular ride sharing apps and a retro nod to the old "Wacky Races" cartoon from the 1970s, but, the episode's upbeat mood quickly went south with the final scene between Nathan, the special needs kid from Timmy's summer camp, and his mother.

"a major hockney"
Sister Wendy explaining her admiration of a David Hockney painting of a naked gay guy getting out of a pool.
I was going to say "here's something that doesn't happen every day" but who knows... maybe nuns pretty much spend the whole day critiquing pictures of naked men.
Well, anyway, if you'd like to see a quick survey of the history of western art, check out the Sister Wendy DVDs, particularly "The Story of Painting". She takes you from cave paintings to Andy Warhol in 10 easy-to-digest episodes. They aren't all about naked men. Some are naked women.
But her interpretations are compelling because she shows how these paintings have captured not just the appearance of a person or place, but a turning point in their lives or a moment of decision. Quite a remarkable thing to do in one frame.
