Least now i know which ones that should be avoided like the plague, and perhaps a couple that have promise as well.

Man from the looks of this I think I'll only watch Gundam... All the other stuff is well, not too appealing to me. From the controversial Kojikan to Clannad.
I think it's time for me to rewatch some good series I have already...
edit: well, maybe I was too presumptious just now; Genshiken 2 and ef look like fun.

Hmm... It would appear that Gundam 00 is the only one that appeals to me as well.
The others all seem a bit too... similar? Yes, perhaps that's the word. None of them seem terribly unique to me, but perhaps I don't know enough about them yet.

This season is just incredibly underwhelming compared to this past spring and summer ones. A return to the norm with basically fan-/otaku-pandering with a couple or so gems to find.
I will say it's disappointing that the article didn't cover Moyashimon, as it's one of the quirkiest and most promising comedy anime that I've seen in a while. The micro-organisms are cute as a button, too.
And just judging from its first episode, Ghost Hound seems to be THE anime to watch for the jaded fan. Truly Lain-esque in its presentation, and it has already set itself apart from practically every other anime out there.
It also has no music sans opening and ending themes, and has the most amazing sound direction EVER in anime. Really mind-blowing stuff.
Mokke is relaxing, though it's nothing to write home about. It doesn't have that "magic" that Mushi-shi and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou have, and really comes across as... "boring," I guess. There really isn't much tension as its constantly low-key, and there's no element -- in the writing, direction, art, et cetera. -- that is different from what we've seen before.
Gundam 00 at least has a competent director, screenwriter, and musical composer backing it. Don't feel much one way or the other about it yet. At least it won't degrade itself to Tomino's haphazard ways...

Shana II
Yeah, not the greatest of beginnings, but the next two episodes are a bit better. I was never the biggest fan of Shana, but I am enjoying it.
Myself; Yourself
For me, this is the weakest of the harem/romance shows this season. I'm all for interesting male leads, but When the male is the only thing keeping me watching, that's NOT a good thing. Aoi annoys me to no end. Every time she opens her mouth I want to clamp it shut. The rest of her character isn't any better. She's the big boobed dummy (Oh look, I'm so stupid I need an apron to eat, aren't I cute) which I despise.
Gundam 00
The first episode was a bit confusing largely because it didn't bother with the slightest bit of set up and started tossing out acronyms and group names without bothering to tell the audience what they were. Fortunately, episode 2 fixed that. The series has the potential to be very good depending on what it does with the themes and the premise. But its walking on a tightrope and could easily end up being crap.
Kodomo no Jikan
It's actually somewhat interesting but the censoring is really annoying, especially since they could have easily avoided the need for them in the first place. That shot at the end (used in the screen shot) could have worked just as well if they had simply shown it form the other side.
Gosyosho-sama Ninomiya-kun
This is my guilty pleasure show of the season. It's so absurd and stupid, but it is fun.
Bamboo Blade
I've only seen the first episode, but it looks like it will be a fun series.
Blue Drop
Definitely one of the seasons better offerings, particularly for 'serious' stories of which there is very little.
This is on its way to being my favorite of the Key adaptations. This has the best cast as I like all of the girls named in the opening. In the Kanon, I didn't care for Makoto and I only somewhat liked Ayu; in Air, Misuzu really isn't doing anything for me and the others aren't much better. But in Clannad, I like all of the main girls pretty well (though Kotomi has only had about a minute of screentime in episode 2) and Nagisa is easily the best lead of the three series. Also, for people annoyed by the catchphrases in the Kanon and Air, none of the girls here do that. As usual for KyoAni's Key adaptations, the music is really good. Though I prefer Tori no Uta and Last Regrets over Nagisa, they are all really good.
It's a decent slife-of-life-ish show, but its not that good and it doesn't really make me want to watch more. On the other hand, I've just started Aria, and I very much want to see the rest of that ASAP.
Absolutely hilarious. I disagree about the other two sisters (I rather like Chiaki) though.
ef - A Tale of Memories
The visual effects are going to be a love it or hate it thing. I rather like them but I can see a lot of people being put off by it. As a whole, I really like it. However, it should be noted that the "opening" in the first episode is not the opening for the whole series. Shaft is being wierd and the opening doesn't appear until the end of episode 2 (and will presumeably be at the beginning for the remainder of the series). And its a great opening, my favorite of the season.
Kimikiss Pure Rouge
Another good romance/almost "harem"/erogame adaptation. I like both of the male leads who are actually likeable. Oh, and the girls are good too.
I'm disappointed that no one reviewed Prism Ark, the (IMO) worst show of the season.

An interesting spread.
The initial reviews are all very useful, but one line just struck me as completely bizarre.
I don't think I agree with any of the assertions it makes, but maybe it's just me.

I can't believe you guys didn't put Kaiji on that list. Among all the other fun and fluff shows we've seen this season, Kaiji really stands out due to its take on high stakes gambling and the psychological mentality of gamblers themselves.
Fukumoto's works just can't get any love.

There is also Dragonaut - The Resonance that was not reviewed. It has a quite unique plot compared to the ones this season. Definitely one of the shoes to keep an eye on this season.
At least you can say that the most confusing ones (the ones with similar themes) were reviewed and helps pick the best one(s) out, if there is any.

The assertions of which one? Wing, SEED, or 00? If you mean 00 (and I assume you do), which assertions are you talking about?

ditto on that (and probably being the only anime with no female leading roles!..actually no females at all. No wonder the director calls it 'anti-moe'.)

|Considering how I'm watching every anime that's coming out this season and that has already came out, besides Gundam 00 (not a huge Gundam fan even if it's in HD), Shion no Ou (shougi or however you spell it, not really in to that much), and Rental Magica (just didn't like it), I must say that this season is filled with more magical, sisterly, shojo-esque, dating-sim anime ever to fill a season. Having multiple boy meets girl/girl meets boy and fall in love anime, it is increasingly hard to keep track of what characters belong to what anime. All I'm saying is that I just wish there was more shonen appealing anime and distinct unique characters, that weren't so freakin generic, this season. As much as I love shojo and "omg I'm in love" anime, too much of it is overkill.

I'm not surprised, my top picks are generally always left out of reviews and what not. Kaiji (based on a work from the mangaka who did akagi) and Shion no Oh (from the looks of it a darker play on Hikago's only with a mute female lead and shougi instead of go) were completely left out too. I am on the other hand surprised to see night wizard and Renta Magical left out, they're on my stupid fun list.
Not like it matters though, everyone questioning why this show or that show didn't make it should be prepared to be told that they can write about everything.

Would a Japanese company ever buy a big American anime publisher?

Christmas Dinner
- d
- Doctormhl1 Dec 25, 2009 11:49 AM
Did the actualization of your Christmas Dinner match the anticipation?
If yes-Why?
If no-Why?
Going to say no due to family dymanics and bitter overdone asparagus that dear old mom killed until almost brown mush - bummer. I don't think I was entirely focused on the mushroom risotto either so it was just okay. I think everyone else enjoyed the chicken marsala. We completely forgot to put out the green salad. Ugh!
You forgot to say whether or not your dinner turned out as anticipated or not!
Mine, yes and no.
Yes, because we had a lovely light dinner and it was super delicious.
No, because last night I came down with a sore throat. We were invited to our friends' home for today but their mom was going to be there and she is undergoing chemo so I could not have taken the chance that I'd spread germs. I probably wouldn't have gone anyway, just to keep from sharing germs, but I really didn't want to get her sick!!
well we had our christmas dinner on christmas eve because we went to my grandmother's house for our christmas dinner. but yes it lived up to expectations! I made a roasted leg of lamb with herbs de provence and red pepper flakes, roasted garlic smashed new red potatoes, and sauteed spinach with garlic! and for those beer dorks (like me) out there, we washed it all down with some sculpin, so it was amazing!
Oh, gee...ours was kind of a debacle. Son and I were supposed to drive 4 hours to my (ex) in-laws to spend Christmas Day and the weekend and I got a phone call at 8 a.m. yesterday to say MIL has come down with her inner-ear dizziness/vomitting so please don't come. NO grocery stores open here except for one 30 minutes away and they were closing early so it was a mad rush to get over there for some dinner provisions. LOL, and I always try to empty out fridge before going away for a few days. Found a small, 2 1/2 pound prime rib roast for the 2 of us and large lobster tails--also made potato gratin and broccoli. Turned out okay, not familiar with cooking SMALL prime rib roasts but we ate late around 5:30. Ugh...it was stressful but better than going out, everyone required reservations, yada yada. We mostly were sad & upset not to be able to see them. Oh, well..we'll go in January. Usually when she has these inner-ear problems, she is laid out flat for 5 or 6 days.
Mine- no
I bought a premium turkey and it had no taste even though I did a herbed butter rub under the skin and on the skin. I also put cut up oranges, lemons, and aromatics in the cavity. Going back to Butterball for the next one. Turkey gravy was like wallpaper paste. Don't ask me what I did wrong. Broccoli rice casserole was good, but how can you mess that up. Ham, mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, potato salad, cranberry casserole was OK. After I got all of it cooked, I really didn't want to eat it. All I wanted was to have a cup of tea and a nap.
Yes - It was a smashing success.
I did a Christmas Eve mostly-German meal, the centerpiece of which was a sauerbraten. All of my hard work was worth it when I saw people savor the food, drink well and socialize.
It was a fantastic evening, all told, and let me tell you, sauerbraten is even better 2 days later. WOW.
It was year number four with my little group of friends, who are like family, and it was a great success. The ham was succulent and tender, all the side were delicious and we had a nice dessert bar including chocolate cake with a bittersweet chcolate buttercream, cherry pie, sweet potatoe pie and a excellent cheececake with an apricot glaze. The wine, beer, vodka, and rum flowed, everyone was lively, we had the usual squabbles, and neighbors kept popping in to bring my hostess little gifts. When it was over, I had to wait in the very chilly rain for the one hour bus ride home, but that's life in Brooklyn. It was a very good Christmas and we get to do all over again on New Year's Day.
Ours met expectations. Chrismukkah dinner was plebeian comfort food in abundance, simple, easy to make, but tasty. We made butternut squash soup; wild rice salad with cranberries and pecans; wine braised brisket with carrots, celery and pearl onions; potato latkes with homemade applesauce; sauteed green beans and mushrooms; and assorted cookies for dessert.
Everything was great, except the beans and 'shrooms. The green beans couldn't compare to the ones we pick fresh from the garden in the summer.
Mom did it this year, and the food was really based around what my stepdad and stepsibilings wanted and like to eat on Christmas. We had ham, Patti LaBelle's Mac'n'Cheese (more on this later), rolls, something else I'm blanking on... (i couldn't partake in these and had my own salad dish, but oh well)... oh and of course crudite, hummus, cookies and Cheesecake Factory mini cheesecakes for dessert (mini-cupcake size).
The mac and cheese my mother labored over which recipe she would do - Paula Deen's with cheddar, sour cream, dry mustard etc. or LaBelle's with the four cheeses and velveeta.I gave my opinion of combining the best of both, but then again, I'm much more experimental. I cook and bake; she does not. She's anal about following instructions. I came early to help her finish cooking. She asked me to help with the mac, which she had decided to do exactly as LaBelle wrote it. Fine. But then she proceeded to tell me I wasn't dicing the velveeta correctly, and that i couldn't effectively grate the cheese with a knife since she was using the grater on a different cheese... I said it's all going to end up the same as long as it's in shards... no dice. Why am I trying to be difficult and potentially ruin it? Then we had a conflict over "dot with butter;" she wanted to melt and dot it with butter. Oy. In the end, everyone liked it.... Even now, I still wish I could have made it the way I wanted, but I guess that's what next year is for when I get to host.
Yes and no. My SIL really scaled it back this year - she had everyone bring their own meat (we brought a spiral sliced ham to share with everyone) so almost everyone had a steak which they grilled. The sides were plentiful - relish tray, huge salad, corn, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, some turkey, brocolli/cheese casserole, stuffing, mushrooms - there was a bunch of stuff and a ton of holiday cookies. The ham didn't turn out so well - I didn't buy a name brand - we have some money issues so I ended up with a store brand and it was meh. Just not good. But I had plenty of sides to eat and they were some of my alltime favorites. So it was good, it wasn't too much, but the ham kinda - well - sucked.
Christmas was always Pop's big deal, with cold shellfish for lunch and either standing rib or goose for dinner. He left us a few months back, though, so this year we just had a family lunch at bro-in-law's place, with his wife and two now-grown daughters, all three good and enthusiastic cooks. M-N (wife) made a big crockpot full of choucroute garnie, a dish I usually make for New Year's, and I brought the green salad to finish the meal with. Maman contributed two bottles of Beaujolais from the family cellar. All quite good. My only Christmas cooking was the night before, when we brought Maman to our house for supper, and I made a Catalan-style salt-cod stew with potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and onions, and sliced-up Spanish chorizo, with (canned) black olives for garnish. The liquid was basically a cup of white wine with a good pinch of saffron. That didn't suck, either.
I had Christmas Eve dinner at my mother's. There is a lot of Italian in our heritage, but we don't do traditional Italian fish Christmas Eve (mostly thanks to me). We had delicious baked ziti, beef tenderloin, and sausage and peppers. For the most part it was a lovely evening and met up with my expectations food-, gift-, and family-wise. Mostly. My mother's boyfriend's daughter is a bit of a drama queen and her son is a huge brat and they brought the evening down a few notches.
Christmas dinner I spent with my father and we had dinner at Istana at the New York Palace hotel. Company was wonderful. Food was disappointing. I had a pasta dish I could have easily made at home.
I've always wished my Christmas dinners would be more experimental or highbrow. I decided to have a pre-Christmas special dinner for just my husband and me on the 23rd. I cooked my first pheasant. I cooked it in red wine flavored iwth onions, mushrooms, and bacon. The sauce was delicious. The pheasant was sort of disappointing. Breast tasted like chicken breast and it was just too much work to pick apart the meat from the bones. But an evening at home with my beloved husband is always a good thing.
Bought a spiral ham from Costco and it was terrific! I had one for TGiving too, very very good.
DSister made low carb cream of broccoli soup and low carb mashed potatoes (w/cauliflower) and I made bowties w/pesto and peas and roasted peppers and BIL rotisseried a great chicken. It was all very very good. Better than expectations.
Yes but....this year was a different one, as due to death and my divorce, there were only myself, my son and his girlfriend. Dinner was great, I gave them a choice between pork, beef and Italian. They chose beef. Prior to this year, it meant Prime rib, but this year, due to the aforementioned reasons, times are tight. But the Saturday before Christmas my good friend called me and told me a local store had Prime Rib on sale for 3.99/lb. So I got a 2 rib roast and was able to surprise my family! They also wanted a salad called Olivier (a Russian potato salad) and our usual roasted Brussell sprouts. Nice calm dinner, ate our fill, talked, relaxed. So yes, it was nice even though I was completely anxious over life changes.
Yeah, mine was epic. Cooked a duck, roast potatoes in goose fat and thyme, cheesy leeks, stuffing and some roast fennel. I also had spinach and asparagus, Girlfriend had parsnips and carrots.
We made the gravy from the giblets too. he only thing that was really wrong was that Donnas parsnips and carrots didn't have long enough. I think she got a bit stressed too, even though the only thing she really did was her veg and some of the cheesy leeks prep.
But for me, I really enjoyed it, and I got to test my new roasting tray :)
*edit* oh, and thanks to Alan Barnes for the tip on the duck.
This year turned out to be brilliant. We ate out on Christmas Day in a gorgeous rural pub from the 18th century with the original features and stunning food. A delicious 4-course meal including goat's cheese and beetroot tart, crab soufflé, a salad of smoked chicken, figs and cashew nuts, stuffed roast turkey with cranberry sauce and roasted veg and a delicious bread and butter pudding made with panettone, chocolate and custard.
On Boxing Day, we had my MIL and her partner for lunch. I made fresh pasta as a starter (tortelloni with butternut squash, garlic and ricotta in a rfed pesto and basil sauce). My fiancé produced a lovely main of roast venison in a red wine, chocolate and redcurrant sauce with grilled asparagus, roasted parsnips, onions and sweet potatoes.
Dessert was buttermilk panna cotta with a warm chocolate and caramel sauce, pecan nuts and grated coconut. An all-round success with barely any leftovers to speak of.
I yield to my wife and son who pronounced the meal a notable success. Beautiful filet mignon seasoned well and done nicely on the stovetop to sear and finished in the oven, with a red-wine deglazing sauce. Baked brown rice with thyme and toasted pine nuts. Warm broccoli salad wtih olives, roquefort, and dijon vinaigrette. Beaujolais nouveau. Later, my champagne chocolate apricot truffles by the fireplace. Perfect day, with my beloved family and a set of fireplace loving cats.
Probably not...made a goose and although it was delicious it wasn't worth the time/effort or money :-(
You can see photos here
re: arizonagirl
Hmm, I'm expecting goose tomorrow, but I think it's between a lot more people.like about 8-9 people, and we have a 5kg/11lb goose. Blimey.
re: Soop
Sincerely hope you have lots of side dishes. Ducks and geese are delicious, but 11 pounds of goose does not give a whole lot of meat. Plenty of fat, though - save it!!
But you know what, I think that was about the size of Papa's goose last year, and while there wasn't much left over the eight of us ate okay. It is terribly rich.
re: Will Owen
it was ok.. bit of a disaster as the host couldn't work both his ovens.
Bloody vegetarians somehow disposed of the carcass and the goose fat!
re: arizonagirl
I also find this interesting...my sister prepares a goose each Christmas and has sent me her step by step instructions...she said that goose cost her $70 !!!!! wth??? Not sure I am going to try it...her family is used to it...we've never even eaten goose, so what if we don't like it? Seems like a LOT of $$$ for not very much mileage, quite an extravagance in these hard times and that $70 doesn't even include the kirsch-wasser (cherry brandy) she uses to prepare/cook it!!!
Yes to both Christmas meals. Christmas Eve at my SIL with Hubby's family. Had hot pot which is traditional and always good. Christmas Day Dinner took in laws out for chinese at a favorite restaurant and pigged out. My kind of Christmas - didn't even miss the traditional turkey this year.
re: juliewong
Best Christmas in adult memory -- no rushing, all done in time, 17-month-old niece in top form, great food and drink at SIL's house including turkey and ham, stovetop whole carrots in orange and rosemary, stir fried brussels sprouts with lemon and garlic, baked mashed potatoes, two kinds of stuffing, gravy and cranberry salsa (mmm, frozen spicy goodness). The leftover sprouts made a great bubble and squeak the next day too.
Oh and of course our now traditional Christmas Eve sushi really hit the spot too :-).
Happy New Year, everyone.
re: grayelf
"stovetop whole carrots in orange and rosemary"
This caught my eye...how unusual...were the carrots awesome? Was it Nancy Ancrum's recipe below? I have so much rosemary in my garden and am always looking for good ways to use it up (plus offering it to almost everyone I know or work with...LOL..."do you need any rosemary? I have a ton in my garden if you want any.")...just bought a little over a pound of organic carrots, too:
re: grayelf
LOL, greyelf...no worries...I've found a new recipe anyway, right?
My aunt knows that I tend to slow down when cooking Christmas dinner, so she asked me to prepare a couple hors d'oeuvres to tide over her guests while we finished the buffet style meal. All the hors d'oeuvres were prepared for the cocktail hour while we waited for guests... followed by the roasts, which cooled while we waited for guests... followed by a half pot of coffee while we waited for guests... in fact the entire meal from hors d'oeuvres to dessert was ready and waiting hours before the first guest even arrived. It turned out they had all went to another dinner prior to my aunt's and showed up nearly 2 hours late for cold chicken and overcooked shrimp. Not that anyone complained. In fact recipes were requested; seconds and thirds were happily consumed and leftovers were wrapped up for midnight snacks in the days to follow.

Algonquin Outfitters 11th Photo Contest Creates a Positive Interacation with Clients
Algonquin Outfitters have been no strangers to using social media to promote their products. Just recently they ended their eleventh online photo contest as a way to increase traffic and memberships on their Facebook page and website through interactions between their business to clients, and interactions between clients to clients. One of their main goals of running these photo contests, which are ran three times a year, is to gather photos that can be used in their marketing strategies, and to also create a positive interaction with their clients.
The targeted audience for these photo contests are people with a joy of photography including visitors of the Algonquin Park area. Throughout the years of these contests the audience has responded greatly by submitting many photos and also viewing other photo entries. In order to get the information out about each of these contests they broadcast it out to all of their online followers while also promoting it through traditional advertising. Many of Algonquin Outfitters Facebook and Twitter followers rebroadcast the information to their friends and followers, allowing many more people to hear about it. There have also been other blogs and websites who have picked up on the contests and they share the information with even more followers. In the online news, The Globe and Mail wrote an article about these contests and their ability to attract new members while also increasing interaction with current their members.
How These Contests Have Impacted Their Business
- Traffic and interactions continuously grow
- Larger media stations are starting to take notice
- Clients are taking more ownership for the contest
- Self policing by members seem to be picking up
- More visitors to their website
- More in store customers are asking about the contest
- More people are booking trips with and them and making more purchases from their stores
As Algonquin Outfitters have been doing more and more with their social media marketing efforts and less with traditional advertising, they have been noticing major increases to their business. They make sure when promoting the contests they spread the word through all of their social media websites. They still continue to use some traditional advertising to make sure they reach out to all markets. They build a sense of ownership by allowing their members to comment on the photos that are entered in the contests. Also, the previous winners are brought back to judge the new contest, which has had a positive impact because it allows members to feel like they have complete ownership of the contest.

"Get The Word Out" Facebook Contest Triples Facebook Fans
Social media has become one of the greatest ways to promote brand awareness when you are just starting out with an online business. City Escapes Nature Photography came to that conclusion after starting their business selling limited edition wildlife and landscape prints mainly at art shows. Currently they intend to transition their business to be done primarily online. Due to the little recognition they currently have, they are using social media as a way to increase their brand awareness and to reach out to customers who may not be able to attend the art shows that they host.
Their first campaign they did that focused around social media was a standard "Get the Word Out" Facebook contest. After having a low number of friends on Facebook a year after setting it up they set a goal of growing their seven friends to 100 in a month and a half in order to raise their visibility within the Facebook community and also potential customers who share an interest in nature prints. The deal they made with their fans was if they reached that goal of 100 Facebook friends they would then raffle off a limited edition photograph among those who liked their Facebook page.
To start promoting this contest, City Escapes Nature Photography reached out to their friends and family to like their page and to share it with their friends. This turned out to be successful as mostly all of their friends they asked to like the page did, but only few shared the information with their friends. Because this was their first social media effort they did not want to use Facebook ads so they could determine the effectiveness of their approach. Throughout the month and a half they ran the contest they would remind their personal and company friends about it once a week. They also highlighted the promotion in their newsletter and put it on the front page of their website.
The end of the campaign resulted in them tripling the number of likes they already had on Facebook, although they did not reach their quota of gaining 100 Facebook friends. Given the baseline response they received, they plan to run a similar contest next year possibly including Facebook ads. They said it is important to be realistic about the impact of any particular campaign so that you can appreciate each success as it happens.

Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star is reporting that the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with Baltimore Ravens FB Le'ron McClain. ]
McClain is a former 4th round pick of the Ravens and a two-time Pro Bowler (2008-09).
After Steve Breaston signing this is definitely the best move the Chiefs have made all offseason. McClain is a gamer who can not only block, but can also catch and run with the football. He racked up 902 yards in 2008 but has recently seen his opportunity to touch the football diminished by the arrival of Ray Rice.
Aaron Wilson of Scout.com is reporting McClain signed for a one year deal.

Maine Lobster for Mother's Day Dinner
Posted By lobsteranywhere On April 19, 2013 @ 12:57 PM In featured,lobster gifts,lobster tails,Lobsters,Recipes | No Comments
Have you thought of Mom yet? Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May. Will you take Mom to another over crowded Sunday brunch? Will you give her a pot of spring tulips?Will you pick up a box of those fancy drug store chocolates? Not sure what to get Mom well then we have the answer! Get her a special Maine lobster dinner [1] shipped to her door step.
The idea behind Mother's Day has roots among the ancient Greeks, who kept a festival dedicated to Cybele, a great mother of gods.And ancient Romans honored their mothers on the feast day of Matronalia, dedicated to Juno, the goddess of childbirth. The predecessor to today's holiday was created by English social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War, to unite mothers against war.
Whether she's your mother, aunt, daughter, mother-in-law, or a special lady who's treated you with a mother's love, show her how truly special she is with a lobster dinner delivered right to her front door, courtesy of LobsterAnywhere.com [1]!
Lobster Anywhere has shipped luxurious lobster gifts to Mom's in every to state in the USA and as far away as the North Pole, Alaska! Our live lobster gift packages come complete with steel crackers and forks wrapped in fine red and white checkered cotton napkins, step-by-step cooking instructions. And, of course, lobster bibs to undermine the dignity of the whole affair. Lobster Gifts are elegantly packaged with the look and feel of old New England and shipped direct to you overnight, so they're as fresh as if you went to the pound yourself. Treating Mom to gourmet seafood fare like this just might secure your spot as "Family Favorite"!
And with the weather outside warming up, if there's ever been a time for lobster on the grill, it's now. We're currently seeing some of the best lobsters of the season coming across our docks. Need some cooking inspiration? Try our recipe below for grilled lobster tails.
Easy Grilled Lobster Tails
6 cold-water lobster tails (6-7 ounces seach), fresh or frozen
1/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
more melted butter
Thaw frozen lobster tails. Cut in half lengthwise. Cut 6 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 x 12 inches each. Please each lobster tail on foil. Combine butter, lemon juice and salt. Baste lobster meat with sauce. Bring the foil up over the lobster and close all edges with tight double folds. Make 6 packs. Place packages on a grill, shell side down, about 5 inches from hot coals. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove lobster tails from the foil. Place lobster tails on grill, flesh side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT over cook. Serve with fresh lemon and butter.[2]

These people who just thrive from short-term mission trips, and just wait for the next one…why can't they just take the plunge and commit to something more long-term.
I just don't get it.
Or do something in between that would keep them connected to global or local missions.
Am I missing something here?
This is a recent photo of Mr. Jung, his actress wife (Lee Young Ae), and their twins, which was published in a magazine last month. In the interview, she was asked whom she admires and replied that it was my dad. My parents are a bit shy about it but I, too, am inspired by their ability to love and consequently touch so many people. Cheers to cool parents.
Another neat tidbit: although I am no longer at my home church I recently heard how one of the newest members came because they saw the church van parked in the lot. This van was donated by Mrs. Jung, herself. Amazing how God moves and connects us all to each other.
Meet the Beardlsey family, who decided to dress up as Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development this past Halloween. Yes — all of them. Mother Autumn (Mrs. Featherbottom) explains:
A lot of people have asked how we got our kids to do it. I don't really know why they do it, they just do. Like I said, the show is part of our family, and has taught us that family is the most important thing (unless of course you mean of the things we eat, in which case it's breakfast).
More pictures at the link!
My second choice of family, probably after my own.

Do something about it. Now.
People are expecting the world to end because of all the natural disasters that have been increasingly occurring.
It's the sickness of human nature that will tear this world down.
It's days like today when I really wish Jesus would just come back asap.
Heartbroken. Prayers for victims, victims' families, community, our youth…And even all those other sick-minded people who need to check themselves.

I agree! There are a lot of stupid people on this board. When they do not know an answer, they have to resort to name calling.
For years, they have been talking about transmitting the data to satellite and/or base stations to supplement or eliminate the need for a black box aboard planes.
Ever since the TWA Flight 800 crash, they have also been talking about mounting a few video cameras on the exterior of the plane. This would give us a positive indication if the plane has been attacked by a missile.
Also, there should be video cameras in the cockpit and passenger compartment of every plane. The problem is the pilots, airline employees, and even passengers are opposed to this.
Planes today are flying blind.
There will no longer be any question about what caused a plane crash, if caused by an external threat.
Of course they would not use GoPro brand cameras on the planes. Doesn't it make you wonder why there are no video cameras on planes. They are still not sure about what had downed TWA flight 800. If they just had cameras on the external surface of the planes, it would answer a lot of questions.
The Gov needs to shut down the websites which are selling these drugs. I guess they will have to go after the website hosts next and charge them for being in collusion with the sellers of these drugs?

Philippines, China Code of Conduct at WPS may soon be adopted–Aquino
- Details
- Category: Nation
08 Oct 2013
- Written by Butch Fernandez
THE Philippines and China inched closer to forging a final agreement on the long-proposed Code of Conduct covering the West Philippine Sea, which Beijing claims to be an extension of its territories on the South China Sea.
President Aquino, in a talk with Filipino journalists during a break in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders' Meeting in Bali, Indonesia, expressed optimism that a Code of Conduct may soon be adopted.
"Both sides are conscious that no action shall be taken to exacerbate the situation," President Aquino said.
He recalled that for the past 10 years, talks to forge an early accord on the Code of Conduct binding countries with conflicting territorial claims in the resource-rich region barely made progress.
"But now, there are meetings leading toward adopting the code," Mr. Aquino said, adding, "now its in the forefront of everyone's mind as to how we can speed up the process of forging and finally agreeing on having one such code."
The President acknowledged, however, that while both sides were conscious of the need to draft a Code of Conduct, this will still take some hard work.
"I cannot say we are that close to signing the Code of Conduct, but everyone is now convinced that we need to talk about it. So, the solution is now moving forward to end the territorial disputes in the South China or West Philippine Sea," Mr. Aquino added.
Meanwhile, the Philippine government defended its allies from accusations made by China that they are intervening in the West Philippine Sea dispute.
Palace Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the United States, Australia and Japan have interests in the disputed areas to protect freedom of navigation.
"A big percentage of world's trade passes through our waters, the waters that is a subject of dispute right now. Do they have an interest? Yes, they have an interest because of freedom of navigation," Lacierda said.
China on Monday asked the three nations to refrain from dipping their hands into the disputes in the East China Sea and South China Sea.
The US, Australia and Japan issued a joint statement opposing the "coercive or unilateral actions" in maritime disputes during a trilateral strategic dialogue at the Asia-Pacific Economic leaders' conference in Bali, Indonesia.
China and Japan are in a long-standing row over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. China is also in a territorial dispute with Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam over the Spratly Islands.

Mayweather Jr., who has had a rocky relationship with his father, admitted that Floyd Mayweather, Sr. was instrumental in the win:
"I needed my father tonight. My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last."
Floyd Sr. had been absent in his son's corner for 13 years before this bout.
Guerrero took Mayweather the distance, but all three judges had Mayweather winning the fight 117-111.
It's definitely time to start discussing Mayweather's place among the all-time greats. Personally, I would have liked to have seen him fight Manny Pacquiao before Manny started losing, but it's still getting to the point where Floyd really has nothing else to prove. Canelo Alvarez seems to be the next big name in line, but there really doesn't seem to be anyone even remotely near Mayweather's weight class who can compete with him.
He claims that he's the best ever, but where do you think Floyd Mayweather ranks among boxing's all-time greats?

It's a sign of the times. Long lines.
They were prevalent during the Great Depression. And they have been growing during this Great Recession.
Thousands lined up outside the Georgia World Congress Center on Tuesday seeking relief from unaffordable mortgages during the last day of a "Save the Dream" mortgage restructuring tour, AJC reporter Alyse Knorr writes.
The tour, organized by the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, was originally set to end in Atlanta on Monday. But Darren Duarte, spokesman for NACA, said the Atlanta stop was extended an extra day to meet the enormous demand for help.
The tour provides free same-day mortgage modifications for some of those who attend.
Foreclosures have been one of the key problems that continue to pound the housing sector and our economy. Relief sometimes comes after long lines.

PORT ST. LUCIE - Some city residents will be a part of Tradition Hospital's history, one name at a time.
That's because the final beam to Tradition Hospital has been making the rounds through the city so residents have the opportunity to sign their names on it.
"This is the first time we've really traveled around with a beam," said Scott Samples, the public information coordinator for Martin Health System. "It's not very often we get to the opportunity to have people be a part of the facility."
Called a topping-out ceremony, the final beam will be placed at the top of the six-floor building. The ceremony marks the half-way point of construction.
"It's coming along," Mr. Samples said. "We broke ground in March, and we anticipate the completion by the end of 2013, with the finish date in January of 2014."
The hospital is expected to have 90 beds, and Mr. Samples estimates 400 jobs will be generated by opening the facility.
"We will probably start recruiting the middle of next year," he said.
Residents have so far seen the beam at the Martin Health facilities in St. Lucie West and Port St. Lucie, as well as a few locations in Martin County. From 10 a.m. to noon, it is scheduled to make its final stop at the Tradition Fall Festival, scheduled to take place at 10824 S.W. Village Parkway in Port St. Lucie.
Residents are invited to come out and choose from a selection of colored pens to sign their names.
"It's fun to see people excited about it," Mr. Samples said.
For more information on the beam and the construction of Tradition Hospital, go to www.martinhealth.org/tradition.

The BC Lions have signed receiver Courtney Taylor to a contract extension.
Taylor originally signed with the Lions' practice roster in 2011. Last season, he spent the entire season on the club's roster and seeing his first regular season action against Calgary recording two receptions for 29 yards.
"Courtney has been both patient and positive over the past two years and we believe he's ready to make an impact as an everyday receiver for us," said Lions VP of football operations and GM Wally Buono. "We'll look to Courtney for leadership and consistency and we're confident he'll excel in his role on offence."
Taylor caught 16 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Data Protection and Moodle
In accordance with the Data Protection Act, all UCL students sign an enrolment form that allows UCL to hold their personal information for the purpose of administering their "student life". In addition when students get their computer accounts they also sign a disclaimer agreeing that UCL may hold information about them for this purpose, and that UCL may monitor their use of IT equipment - which includes the use of Moodle and WebCT.
The following statement appears at the bottom of all UCL Moodle pages:
Data Protection Act 1998: Students are reminded that their use of the Moodle learning environment will be logged and that this information, with other personal data about them contained within the system, will be used by their tutors to monitor their academic progress.
You must also ensure that at the start of a new academic session any student data from the previous session is removed, unless you have express permission from the previous students to use their data. As every Moodle and WebCT course is archived at the end of the academic session you will be able to refer back to this data if required.
remove student data from a Moodle course go to the Administration block
and select Reset, then select which activities you would like to reset
and click the 'Reset Course' button.
Further information and guidance about UCL Data Protection policies is available here: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/efd/recordsoffice/data-protection/

I Wanna Hold You Lyrics
Hold you, I wanna hold you
I'd like to hold you, yeah
Good God, could I hold you in my arms?
And feel your lucky charms

Tell you a ride home
I'd like to hold you, oh, yeah
(Hold you)
Hold you

I don't mind if I hold you, ooh yeah
(Hold you)
Hold you
I wouldn't do nothing at all
I'd like to talk to you, explain
You know my name
I'd like to say that I, I love you
Because you know that I do
I would like to hold you, baby
Hold you, hold you, hold you
(Hold you)
I wouldn't even say anything
Just stop, write this down, will you?
I love you, oh, yeah
You don't have to shout for a ride
I'll love you through the night
Would you chauffeur me till noon
But our love was not so
Hey, you staying with me till my mind
I would be crazy in no time
I would like to hold you
(Hold you)
Call somebody, and ask them that

You may think that your 40-something friends who have a couple of kids are done, as they say, with a capital D. The marathon of sleeplessness and diaper duty are in the rear view mirror. They can finally focus on themselves. Workout whenever. Go out to dinner. Or can they? When you're facing the end of your fertility, fantasies of another pregnancy can hit you like an emotional tsunami. No matter how irrational, financially challenging, logistically challenging, career challenging and marriage challenging the one-last-baby idea may be, the longing may be there as well.
This week we learned that 40-year-old bombshell Sofia Vergara, who, by the way is two decades out of the baby stage with a 21-year-old son, is freezing her eggs and/or possibly using a surrogate to have a second child with her fiancé.
Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she's missing her third. The actor/wellness guru/cookbook author and mother of two, miscarried some time after she had her 7-year-old son, and "almost died" from the complications. Now, at 40 and a half, it sounds like she's feeling "broody."
If you know someone who you thought was Done, but may really not be done, best to avoid saying the following.
Do you ever think about having another kid?
Image via Normanack/Flickr
@adrienneharvey2, I had my first child last year at 42. It was a healthy pregnancy, but near the end I started dilating early and had to go on bedrest. I admit some age comments bother me. I thought I'd have kids in my 20's and early 30's, but life doesn't always work out how you intended. I met my soul mate later and now we have a perfect, healthy son. We're considering having a second baby. I can't comment about the children age gap, but it sounds like you'll have good family support to help out. Think about what would work best for you and your family. If you're up for it, I'd say start the prenatal vitamins now and go for it!
With women having babies later nowadays anyway, it just makes sense not to say anything. Just smile and congratulate them. I have a friend whom I though would be done after 4 kids. She is 46 and now has 6 kids. Never worth the faux paux.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Light up the water during practice or on race day in the Amethyst Super V-Back One Piece.
I use this for lifeguard inservice trainings and at the moment, a swim instructor class, soon to be teaching lessons. I have a problem finding suits that stay put on a large (36I or 36J) bust and my 5'4" frame. The size 40 fits PERFECTLY and stays in place!! I've only worn it 2x so I don't know about fading yet but it seems to be holding up well. It takes a little wiggling to get on and off, especially when wet, but that's to be expected. Once on it fits like a glove:)
I read some reviews and decided to buy a size up. It worked well for me. Really a great suit.
I love this suit, I wear it for lap swimming and it fits great. I love the back fit, it gives you the freedom for swimming. It is made well and lined throughout, some suits are only lined in the front. I am so happy with this suit I am ordering another one.
I got the green color and it is SUPER vibrant! I love it! It fits great and I use it for lap swimming.
