The Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series, the first Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series (known outside of Japan as simply Yu-Gi-Oh!) features an extensive cast of characters created by Kazuki Takahashi. The series takes place in a fictional city in Japan called Domino City, in which most of the characters that appear in the series originate. Many plot elements are also influenced by Egypt and Egyptian mythology, and as such, Egyptian characters also appear within the story.
The original manga of Yu-Gi-Oh! tells the tale of Yugi Mutou, a timid young boy who loves all sorts of games, but is often bullied around. One day, he solves an ancient artifact known as the Millennium Puzzle, causing his body to play host to a mysterious spirit with the personality of a gambler. From that moment onwards, whenever Yugi or one of his friends is threatened by those with darkness in their hearts, this "Dark Yugi" shows himself and challenges them to dangerous "Shadow Games" which reveal the true nature of someone's heart, the losers of these contests often being subjected to a dark punishment called a "Penalty Game". As the series progresses, Yugi and his friends (Jonouchi Katsuya, Anzu Mazaki, Hiroto Honda, Miho Nosaka (in the 1998 Toei Anime), and later Ryo Bakura) learn that this other Yugi inside of his puzzle is actually the spirit of a nameless Pharaoh from Egyptian times who had lost his memories. As Yugi and his companions attempt to help the Pharaoh regain his memories, they find themselves going through many trials as they wager their lives facing off against others that wield the mysterious Millennium Items and the dark power of the Shadow Games.
The Japanese names in Western order (given name before family name) and English manga names are listed first and the English anime names are listed second, when applicable.
Yugi Mutou (武藤 遊戯 Mutō Yūgi?, Yugi Muto and pronounced "Moto" in the English anime) is the main protagonist of the story. He wears the Millennium Puzzle (千年パズル Sennen Pazuru?), one of the seven Millennium Items and an ancient Egyptian artifact holding the spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. When Yugi is playing a game or under stress, he becomes possessed by the 3,000-year-old (5,000 in the English anime) spirit inside the Millennium Puzzle, known as Yami(Dark) Yugi, changing his personality to a cold and confident person. Initially, Yugi could be described as soft-spoken, timid, meek, and shy, but as the series progresses, his character develops to the point where he has a much bigger presence and becomes more outspoken. He fears the other personality inside him at first, however, as the narrative progresses, he grows a strong bond with his other self and considers his other soul a close and valuable friend. One defining character moment for him was when he defeated an antagonist without Dark Yugi's help, Ryuji Otogi, in a game of Dungeon Dice Monsters (DDD in the manga) under bleak circumstances, proving that he is truly worthy of being the Millennium Puzzle's wielder.
In the first series anime, Yugi is voiced by Megumi Ogata. In the Duel Monsters anime, he is voiced by Shunsuke Kazama. In the English dub, he is voiced by Dan Green.
Dark Yugi (闇遊戯 Yami Yūgi?, initially Yami Yugi or The Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle in the English anime, later referred to as just The Pharoah) is the second personality inhabiting Yugi's body, a 3,000-year-old gambling spirit of an ancient Pharaoh who resides in the Millennium Puzzle. Like his host, he shares a fondness for games and gaming culture, often referred to in the manga as Game King (遊戯王 Yūgiō?, King of Games in most English translations).[1][2] He appears whenever Yugi's in trouble, challenging bullies and criminals to occult judgment games called Shadow Games (闇のゲーム Yami no Gēmu?) and enforces Penalty Games (罰ゲーム Batsu Gēmu?) to enact ironic justice (the default powers of a Millennium Item wielder). A defining character moment for him is when he decides to stop using them after his battle with Pegasus, who tells him that the Millennium Items contain an evil intelligence.[3] In the second series anime, Dark Yugi comes off as a lot more merciful as a character because this subplot is written out. As the story progresses to the point where he's more than just a split personality, he becomes more and more independent of Yugi and develops a desire to find out who he is and where he came from.
Even compared to Yugi, he seems to have the most knowledge on gaming and gambling culture within the whole cast, noticeably when he explains Ryuji Otogi's bar bet games to the normal Yugi, who noticed that his games didn't feel like they were fair. In addition, the original manga's version of Dark Yugi seems to have a somewhat dark sense of humor in his dialogue, even after his decision to stop inflicting Penalty Games. This personality trait is an aspect that is retained in his first series anime version. However, in the second series anime, Dark Yugi is somewhat more serious and loses much of the dark sense of humor he originally had in the manga.
Yugi and his friends eventually find out that he is the spirit of an ancient Pharaoh who has long forgotten his name. At the end of the manga, it's revealed that his name as Pharaoh was Atem (アテム Atemu?), who sealed his soul into the Puzzle along with the Great God of Evil, Zorc Necrophades.
In the first series anime, Dark Yugi is voiced by Megumi Ogata. In the Duel Monsters anime, he is voiced by Shunsuke Kazama. In the English dub, he is voiced by Dan Green.
Katsuya Jonouchi (城之内 克也 Jōnouchi Katsuya?, Joey Wheeler in the English anime) is Yugi's best friend. Initially nothing more than a street thug and former bully; throwing Yugi's Millennium Puzzle piece into the swimming pool and disgusted at how unmanly he was. When Ushio decides to be Yugi's self-imposed bodyguard in order to extort money from him, he beats up Jonouchi and Honda, Yugi stands up for them, and it's then that Jonouchi realizes that he was jealous of Yugi's "treasure" all along, and later on that night, he retrieves the Millennium Puzzle piece and brings it back to Yugi's house, where Yugi completes it and challenges Ushio to the first Shadow Game of the series. Jonouchi is touched by Yugi's behavior towards him and they become loyal friends, forming his own "treasure."
Jonouchi is good at fist fighting and is usually able to take on people bigger than him, such as Bandit Keith (in the anime, this quality is underplayed and he gets beaten up by Bandit Keith instead). Though not exactly the best gamer in Domino, he develops a better liking to them thanks to Yugi, and he's managed to use his strong points to help Yugi come through in earlier story lines. Later on, he develops an interest in the Duel Monsters game, the latest fad at the time. Though unskilled at first, with Yugi's help, he trains for the Duelist Kingdom tournament in order to free Sugoroku's soul from the portable TV and save his sister's eyesight; progressively getting better throughout the series to the point where he could be called a match for Dark Yugi. Jonouchi is shown to have a very kind heart, selfless and caring, considerate, and eager willingness to help and save those he deeply cares for and loves, but he also demonstrates a near lack of modesty and can be rather rash at times, making him a source of comic relief. Jonouchi notes that, before he met Yugi, he was never really motivated for anything. As the story progressed, he learned to channel his anger into games instead of his fists.
Anzu Mazaki (真崎 杏子 Mazaki Anzu?, Téa Gardner in the English anime dub) is Yugi's childhood friend, an extremely supportive girl with a lot of spirit for her friends, who Yugi has a crush on. Anzu is not an avid game-player and her ability is well below that of Yugi, though she exhibits some knowledge of video game RPGs during the Monster World arc. Her dueling ability is decent and she used to defeat Jonouchi in school before he became a seasoned duelist. She is athletic, has a strong school spirit, and secretly worked at a fast food restaurant called Burger World to save money; her secret dream is to attend a dancing school abroad in New York. When Yugi and Jonouchi find out about these secrets when they followed her (thinking she's taking part in Enjo Kosai), she gains a new respect for Jonouchi and her childhood friend, who are more than willing to support their dream and keep her secret. Anzu is voiced by Yumi Kakazu in the original anime series. In the Duel Monsters anime, she is voiced by Maki Saito. Tea is voiced by Amy Birnbaum in the English dub.
Hiroto Honda (本田 廣戸 Honda Hiroto?, Tristan Taylor in the English anime) who is in class 1-B at Domino High School, is a boy who became a friend of Yugi Mutou, Katsuya Jonouchi, and Anzu Mazaki. He is at first a bully as well and trusts yugi less than Katsuya at first but learns to trust him. Later on, he becomes a friend to Ryo Bakura as well. In the manga, Honda starts out as Jonouchi's street thug henchman and also (at first) has a crush on Miho Nosaka. Though he still dislikes Yugi at first, he asks for his help in writing a love letter to her in the form of a puzzle. When the vain teacher Ms. Chono threatened to confiscate the puzzle, threatening to punish Miho Nosaka if the secret admirer doesn't come clean, Yugi and Jonouchi stood up for him. Ms. Chrono decides to put together the puzzle to find out who the sender is anyway, and Dark Yugi secretly turns it into a Shadow Game, shattering Ms. Chono's pretty face as the Penalty Game. From then on, Honda becomes good friends with Yugi.
Honda is voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu in the first series. In Duel Monsters he is first voiced by Takayuki Kondo, then by Hidehiro Kikuchi from Episode 53 onwards. In the English dub, Tristan is voiced by Sam Regal for the first ten episodes and Greg Abbey from episode 11 onwards.
Ryo Bakura (獏良 了 Bakura Ryō?, simply Bakura in the English anime) is a transfer student (British in the English anime version) who becomes friends with the main group of the story. Like Yugi, he is also interested in games, particularly tabletop role-playing games like Monster World (モンスター・ワールド Monsutā Wārudo?). Bakura, the holder of the Millennium Ring (千年輪 Sennen Ringu?), has a dark spirit dwelling inside himself, much like Dark Yugi. Before he is introduced to the story, he was constantly moving schools due to the fact that, every time he played a game with his friends, his friends would end up in a coma. This is revealed to be Dark Bakura inflicting Penalty Games on them, which trapped their souls into RPG miniature figures. Together with Yugi and his friends, they join forces to crush Dark Bakura in a Shadow Game of Monster World. From then on, the normal Bakura joins the main group in many of their conflicts. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime by Toei Animation, the group also included Miho Nosaka, who had a crush on Bakura. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime, his role in the group is greatly reduced compared to the manga, as he is mostly being controlled by Dark Bakura and doesn't accompany Yugi and his friends as much as he did in the manga, and is excluded from filler arcs. In addition, he is introduced in the middle of the Duelist Kingdom story and his love for tabletop role-playing games has been greatly written out.
Bakura is voiced by Tsutomu Kashiwakura in the first series. In Duel Monsters he is first voiced by You Inoue, then by Rica Matsumoto from episode 50 onwards. In the English dub, Bakura is voiced by Ted Lewis.
Miho Nosaka (野坂 ミホ Nosaka Miho?, Melody in the English DDM video game) is a very good friend of Yugi and the best friend of Anzu Mazaki in the 1998 Toei Anime. While only having a minor one time role in the Manga she was re-written to having main character status and a member of Yugi's group of friends in the Toei Anime. She is a cheerful, kind, and caring girly girl who loves all things that are cute, her friends, and is one of the school's treasures according to Honda. Miho tends to talk in third person and has gotten crushes on many of the male cast members throughout the show (particularly ones she deems cool) but isn't interested in Honda in any way other than as a friend (whereas he is madly in love with her). Miho has a stubborn side and whenever her friends are threatened she will not hesitate to get serious and do whatever she can to protect them like when Warashibe poisoned Anzu, Honda, and Jonouchi. While Miho is overall sweet and innocent she is shown to be smarter than she lets on and has a manipulative side to her and isn't above letting her desires be known in front of Honda who she knows has a huge crush for her. This includes him waiting in line to buy her a collectible watch, waiting in line for perfume, and making it sound like she was considering taking him on a trip with her if he won her a digital pets contest. While this would imply a lack of care for Honda Miho is shown to love him dearly (just not in a romantic way) as when she thought he'd died she began sobbing uncontrollably and resolved to fight for his sake. When she finds out he's alive she teams up with Jonouchi to fight against Ryujji and Eileen who were keeping Honda and Yugi's grandfather captive.
Dark Bakura (闇獏良 Yami Bakura?, Yami Bakura in the English anime) is a dark spirit dwelling inside of the Millennium Ring, much like Dark Yugi. This dark half of Ryo Bakura, Dark Bakura, intends to collect all of the Millennium items, and quite clearly does not care for anyone who might get in his way. His goal is to use them to open the Door of Darkness, which grants evil power to the one that opened it. To do so, he takes control over Ryo Bakura's body against Ryo Bakura's will, since he doesn't have a body of his own. In the beginning of the story, he torments Ryo Bakura by taking over his body whenever he played a game with his friends and used Penalty Games to trap their souls into TRPG miniatures for the Monster World game. Dark Bakurais voiced by Tsutomu Kashiwakura in the first series. In Duel Monsters he is first voiced by You Inoue, then by Rica Matsumoto from episode 50 onwards. In the English dub, Bakura is voiced by Ted Lewis.
Maximillion J. Pegasus, known in Japanese versions as Pegasus J. Crawford (ペガサス・ジェイ・クロフォード Pegasasu Jei Kurofōdo?), is the eccentric American Chairman of Industrial Illusions (shortened to I²) and the creator of the game Duel Monsters (Magic & Wizards (M&W(マジックアンドウィザーズ) Majikku ando Wizāzu?) in the Japanese manga). He is the wielder of the Millennium Eye (千年眼, ミレニアムアイ Sennen Gan, Mireniamu Ai?). In the original manga, it's his story about meeting Shadi and the supposed "evil intelligence" of the Millennium Items that prompts Dark Yugi's search for the answer of who he is and where he came from. During his final Shadow Game with Yugi/Dark Yugi, he tells them of his discovery of an ancient Egyptian Shadow Game during his travels in the Valley of the Kings, which inspired his creation of Duel Monsters and the creation of card games in general, such as tarot cards. In the anime, as the creator of the card game Duel Monsters and the discoverer of their ancient Egyptian roots, Pegasus often plays a key role due to his extensive knowledge of the game and its mysterious origins. He has a habit of calling Yugi Mutou "Yugi-boy" and Seto Kaiba "Kaiba-boy" in the Japanese and edited English versions of the anime and manga. This trend continues in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, calling Jaden Yuki "Jaden-boy." Interestingly, in Japanese versions of the manga and anime, Pegasus often uses English words interspliced with Japanese, including English words like "goodness gracious!" and "snap!" and using the English pronoun "you" instead of Japanese second-person words. His speech is also unique in terms of pronunciation. In both English and Japanese he tends to elongate vowel sounds, especially near the end of a sentence.
Pegasus quickly establishes himself as the manga's fourth main antagonist (and the second anime adaptation's first main antagonist), challenging Yugi Mutou to a Shadow Game in order to force him to come to his tournament Duelist Kingdom (決闘者の王国(デュエリストキングダム) Dyuerisuto Kingudamu?) and face him, taking the soul of his grandfather Sugoroku Mutou as a Penalty Game for losing the timed match to ensure this. In the manga, Pegasus locked Yugi's grandfather's soul into a video tape, rather than actually stealing it. Throughout the battles to get to Pegasus's castle, Yugi is seen talking to his grandfather through the use of a camcorder. In the anime, he traps Sugoroku in a Soul Prison Duel Monsters card. Pegasus also kidnaps Mokuba Kaiba to convince his brother Seto Kaiba to come as well. Through a series of flashbacks, Pegasus is revealed to have had a lover, Cyndia (シンディア Shindia?, Cecelia in the English anime), who died just after their wedding (details regarding if they were actually married vary from medium to medium). In the manga, she died after her 17th birthday, before they even had a chance to get married. Pegasus is voiced by Jiro Takasugi in the original and by Darren Dunstan in the English adaptation.
Mr. Clown (クラウンさん Kuraun-san?, misspelled as Crown in the Japanese manga), also known as Otogi's father (御伽父 Otogi-chichi?) is an antagonist exclusive to the manga. He is the owner of the Black Clown (ブラック・クラウン Burakku Kuraun?) game shop across the street from Sugoroku Mutou's Kame Game shop. Long ago, Mr. Otogi asked Sugoroku Mutou, a master gamer, to take him in as a disciple. After a while, they challenged each other for the ownership of the Millennium Puzzle in a Shadow Game called the Devil's Board Game. Mr. Otogi, who lost, aged 50 years in a single night as a Penalty Game. Since then he desired revenge through his son Ryuji (known as "Duke Devlin" in the English adaptation of the anime version). In the English Dungeon Dice Monsters video game, he is given the name Sindin the Clown.
Marik Ishtar (マリク・イシュタール Mariku Ishutāru?) in the original Japanese anime and manga, is a character in the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! and the second Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series (known in Asia as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters). The heir to a clan of tombkeepers and the younger brother of Ishizu Ishtar, Marik's hatred of the nameless Pharaoh compels him to disregard his duties and turn to a life of crime, developing a split personality during his childhood after he underwent the tombkeeper's initiation ritual (which burned a key to the Pharaoh's memory on his back with a hot dagger) and was forever destined for a confined life in the darkness. Marik is voiced by Tetsuya Iwanaga in the original version and by Jonathan Todd Ross in the English adaptation, while Akiko Kimura does his voice in flashbacks
Priest Akhenaden (神官アクナディン Shinkan Akunadin?) was the guardian of the Millennium Eye and the brother of King Ahknemkhanen. As they grew up, he was secretly jealous of his brother's position as pharaoh, considering himself the true power behind the throne. Using the Shadow Alchemy inscribed in the Millennium Tome (千年魔術書 Sennen Majutsu Sho?, Millennium Spellbook in the English dubbed anime), he ordered the massacre at the village of Kul Elna, using their blood and melting their corpses into gold so he could create the Millennium Items to defend his brother's kingdom, keeping the slaughter a secret and brainwashing his soldiers in order to keep it that way. He is voiced by Hitoshi Bifu in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English adaptation, he is voiced by Pete Zarustica.
The Great Evil God Zorc Necrophades (大邪神 ゾーク・ネクロファデス Daijashin Zōku Nekurofadesu?) (Zorc the Dark One in the English anime) is a destroyer of worlds that was born when the Millennium Items were originally created (in the English anime, he is the creator of the Shadow Realm, and therefore likely predates the items, though they were made using his power, and in the manga he was said to be born of the darkness in humans' hearts).
He is summoned by Akhenaden by the power of the Millennium Items and attacks the kingdom, dispatching Atem's advisers. In the Memory World, a RPG-style Shadow Game that Dark Bakura has set up based on ancient Egypt, Zorc is the game's final boss and has three Ba gauges, and if Dark Yugi loses the Shadow RPG, Dark Bakura would gain the ultimate powers of darkness and Zorc would be effectively be summoned once again. However, with the help of Yugi and his other dear friends, Atem defeats him and stops him from being resurrected, also freeing Ryo Bakura from the Millennium Ring once and for all. In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, it is said that Dark Bakura was an entity made of both Zorc and Thief King Bakura's souls, while in the Duel Monsters anime, it is said that the spirit within the Millennium Ring is entirely Zorc.
Seto Kaiba (海馬 瀬人 Kaiba Seto?). In the early manga, Seto discovers that the grandfather of his classmate, Yugi Mutou, owns the rare "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card. Kaiba steals the card from Yugi by switching it with a fake copy. Yugi recognizes the card for a fake and duels Kaiba to get it back. Yugi, Honda Hiroto and Katsuya Jonouchi were beaten up by Kaiba's guards until the Darker Yugi from within the Millennium Puzzle confronts Kaiba and challenges to a Shadow Game with the card as a prize. Although Kaiba nearly wins, the magical nature of the game prevents the stolen Blue-Eyes from obeying him, and Kaiba is defeated, suffering a temporary Penalty Game—an illusion of being killed by monsters. In Toei's anime adaptation, he is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa. In NAS/Gallop's Duel Monsters anime adaptation, he is voiced by Kenjirō Tsuda and Kiyomi Yazaki as a child. In the English dub of the latter, Kaiba is voiced by Eric Stuart.
Mokuba Kaiba (海馬 モクバ Kaiba Mokuba?) is Seto Kaiba's younger brother. In the manga, Mokuba is characterized as a spoiled brat, always trying to trick Yugi Mutou to get back at him for defeating his older brother. In the pre-Death-T chapters of the manga, Mokuba tries to defeat Yugi before Kaiba has a chance to and challenges Katsuya Jonouchi and Yugi to a Russian Roulette Dinner (死の料理・ロシアンルーレット Shi no Ryōri Roshianrūretto?) and poisons Jonouchi. In the second series of the anime, Mokuba is eternally devoted to his brother Seto Kaiba and is constantly by his side. He is not as violent as his manga counterpart, and is not committed to avenge Seto's defeat. He befriends Yugi's group after they rescue him, thus making him the warmer, more sociable one of the two brothers. In the Toei anime series, he is voiced by Katsue Miwa. In Duel Monsters, Mokuba is voiced by Junko Takeuchi and by Tara Sands for season one to four then by Carrie Keranen from season five onwards in the English adaptation.
Sugoroku Mutou (武藤 双六 Mutō Sugoroku?, Solomon Muto in the English anime, Sugoroku Muto in the subtitled English anime and the Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie Animanga) is the grandfather of Yugi Mutou, who gave him his famous Millennium Puzzle as a present, which he had recovered from the tomb of Pharaoh Atem in his youth. He owns the Game shop, where Yugi and his friends get several of the games they play. In the second series anime adaptation, he taught Joey Wheeler how to play the Duel Monsters card game. Similar to his grandson, his fondness for games is evident even in his name: "Sugoroku" is a Japanese game similar to Backgammon. Sugoroku is the reincarnation of Ancient Egyptian vizier, Siamun Muran, right hand man to the Pharaoh Atem.
Sugoroku is voiced by Takeshi Aono for the Toei anime series, Tadashi Miyazawa for the second series in Japanese, while Maddie Blaustein handled his voice for the English adaptation, with Marc Diraison voicing him for Episode 199. Following Blaustein's death in 2008, Wayne Grayson provided his voice for Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time.
Ryuji Otogi (御伽 龍児 Otogi Ryūji?, Duke Devlin in the English anime) is a talented game inventor and is also the creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters (Dragons, Dice, & Dungeons (D·D·D(ドラゴン・ダイス・&(アンド)ダンジョンズ) Doragon Daisu ando Danjonzu?) in the manga). According to his father, Mr. Clown, Ryuji was born in order to fulfill his father's revenge on Sugoroku Mutou. Sugoroku had defeated Mr. Otogi in a Shadow Game called the Devil's Board Game, causing him to age 50 years in one night as a Penalty Game. Ryuji was transferred to Domino High School, where Yugi Mutou (Sugoroku's grandson) goes to school. His father used this as an opportunity for Ryuji to defeat Yugi in a series of games and fulfill the family's revenge.[2]
In the Japanese versions, his personality change between the manga and anime is apparent in his use of boku (僕?, polite male pronounce for I) in the anime as oppose to ore (俺?, masculine and boastful pronoun of "I") in the manga.
He is voiced by Ryo Naito in the original and by Marc Thompson for the English adaptation.
Shadi (シャーディー Shādī?) is the first Millennium Item wielder to cause trouble for Yugi and his friends in the story, serving as the main antagonist for the Trial of the Mind arc of the manga. He holds the Millennium Key (千年錠 Sennen Jyō?, also known as the Millennium Ankh), which allowed him to peer into the inner souls of humans and gave him the ability to rearrange their personality as he pleased, and the Millennium Scales (千年秤 Sennen Bakari?), which had the power to weigh the evil in a person's heart in the same vein as Anubis's "Weighing of the Heart" trials in Egyptian mythology, using the feather of Ma'at. In the second series anime, his ownership of the Scales isn't revealed until the last arc. In the Toei anime, he is voiced by Kaneto Shiozawa. In the Duel Monsters anime, he is voiced by Nozomu Sasaki.
Ishizu Ishtar (イシズ・イシュタール Ishizu Ishutāru?) is a character in the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! and the second series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime (known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Asia). Marik's elder sister, Ishizu became a museum curator in order to lure Yugi Mutou and Seto Kaiba to her in order to keep Marik from fulfilling his goals. To aid her, she holds the Millennium Tauk (千年首飾り Sennen Tauku?, known as the Millennium Necklace in the English anime) that has the power to foresee events in the near future. She is voiced by Sumi Shimamoto in the Japanese version and in the flashbacks she is voiced by Sakura Nogawa. In the English adaptation she is voiced by Karen Neil.
Rishid Ishtar (リシド・イシュタール Rishido Ishutāru?, Odion Ishtar in the English anime) is Marik's adoptive brother and the second-in-command of the Ghouls. Abandoned as a child, Rishid was taken in by Marik's mother prior to his birth. However, his father never accepted him as a suitable heir and treated him as a servant rather than a son. Despite this, Rishid had always desire to become a true part of the family and an heir to the tombkeeper clan. When Marik was born, his mother told him to take care of his younger brother and Rishid stood by Marik's side, even when he turned to a life of evil. Marik and Rishid were close siblings, but Rishid always harbored a resentment for him as the true heir to the tombkeeper's clan and legitimate son of his parents. When Marik was bitten by a cobra and became ill, their father beat Rishid, furious he allowed Marik to be harmed, and ordered that he not leave Marik's bedside until he recovered. Rishid takes a dagger to Marik's room with the intent to kill him in his sleep (this is edited out in the dub, along with Rishid's resentment for Marik). Marik awakens and murmurs "brother", causing Rishid to drop the weapon in shock: Marik sees Rishid as his brother, despite the fact they are not blood related. In the English adaptation he is voiced by Michael Alston Bailey. He is voiced by KONTA in the Japanese version.
Mai Kujaku (孔雀 舞 Kujaku Mai?, Mai Valentine in the English anime) is an attractive woman who spent most of her life alone. While working as a blackjack dealer on a cruise ship, she developed a cynical attitude towards people and showed no shame in manipulating men, who displayed foolish infatuation towards her and previously used her "Aroma Tactics" to easily beat them in card games. Although she made a lot of money doing this, it caused her to hate people more until she got sick of her job and quit. She became a powerful, successful duelist thanks to her Harpie-themed deck. However, Mai had no true friends, and dueled simply for pride and monetary gain, but also entered the Duelist Kingdom tournament to find the things she used to cherish. When Mai joined the Duelist Kingdom tournament to seek the prize money, she met Yugi Mutou and his friends and steadily forged a true friendship with them after they rescued her Star Chips from the Player Killer of Darkness to help her stay in the tournament. Mai subsequently faced Yugi in the semi-finals, but ultimately chose to surrender to him when she decided she could not win, telling him that some losses only serve to make people stronger. In the anime, she was raised in a wealthy household, but was barely acknowledged by her relatives.
In the 4Kids version, Mai's past as a blackjack dealer was omitted and both she and her Harpie Ladies' appearance were censored to remove sexual references. Mai is voiced by Haruhi Terada in the Japanese series and originally by Megan Hollingshead, then Bella Hudson (Season 4) for the English adaptation, and finally Alyson Johnson for the 4Kids Uncut adaptation.
Shizuka Kawai (川井 静香 Kawai Shizuka?, Shizuka Jounouchi (城之内静香 Jōunouchi Shizuka in the 1st series anime,[5]?) Serenity Wheeler in the English anime) is the little sister of Katsuya Jonouchi, separated from him when their parents divorced and her mother took custody of her. When Shizuka was diagnosed with the steady onset of blindness, Jounouchi entered the Duelist Kingdom tournament and successfully obtained the prize money to secure the operation that would save her eyesight.
Rebecca Hopkins (レベッカ・ホプキンス Rebekka Hopukinsu?, Rebecca Hawkins in the dub) is a character created exclusively for the second series anime. She is the bratty 8-year-old granddaughter of a friend of Sugoroku Mutou, believing Sugoroku stole the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card from him. Dueling Sugoroku's grandson Yugi to get it back, Rebecca and Yugi play a game identical to the one Sugoroku played with Rebecca's grandfather years ago. After Yugi surrenders, Rebecca's grandfather explains he gave Solomon his card as a gift. Yugi, then hands Rebecca the "Ties of Friendship" card that he won at Duelist Kingdom as a token of his appreciation.
During the Millennium World story arc, Dark Yugi journeys into his lost memories and meets old acquaintances from Ancient Egypt as NPCs (non player characters) within Dark Bakura's ultimate tabletop role-playing game, the Shadow RPG (闇のR・P・G Yami no Ā Pī Jī?), a campaign based on the past. The Six High Priests (六神官 Roku Shinkan?) protect the seven Millennium Items with their lives and have to swear eternal loyalty to the Pharaoh, Atem (serving as the player character of Dark Yugi, Atem's spirit in modern times). In the age where Shadow Games were used to determine a person's fate, these Priests used the Millennium Items and sorcery to pull out and seal human souls (Ka), which take the form of Monsters Spirits, into stone slabs to do battle; usually from criminals and those who pilfer from the tombs of the Pharaohs. Within the RPG, each characters' health and magic were represented by their Ba Gauge.
Priest Seto (神官セト Shinkan Seto?) is one of the seven High Priests that guard the Millennium Items and is the holder of the Millennium Rod. Priest Seto is named after the god Set and is actually the first cousin of Pharaoh Atem. Seto Kaiba is his reincarnation and thus, resembles him in looks and basic attitude, believing in power and brute strength. However, Priest Seto appears to bear a great loyalty and friendship to Atem, as opposed to Kaiba, who views modern day Yugi Mutou as a lifelong rival as opposed to someone he calls a friend. Before the Battle City arc, a tablet showing Priest Seto fighting Pharaoh Atem was on display at the Domino City Museum, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon fighting against the Pharaoh's Dark Magician. During Battle City, Kaiba continuously has vivid visions of his past life as Seto. Priest Seto appears as an NPC in the Shadow RPG, aligned to Dark Yugi's side of the board. Seto is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda in the Japanese version.
Priest Mahado (神官マハード Shinkan Mahādo?, known as Mahad in the English anime) was a loyal High Priest of Pharaoh Atem's court and appears as an NPC within Dark Bakura's Shadow RPG. He bears the Millennium Ring, but lost the item to Thief King Bakura in a Shadow Game. He states that he had sensed an evil intelligence within the Millennium Ring, which it absorbed from the previous priest who wore it. His Monster Spirit Ka is the Magus of Illusion (幻想の魔術師 Gensō no Majutsushi?, known as the Illusion Magician in the English anime), a spellcaster.
Mahado is voiced by Kazunari Kojima in the Japanese version and Michael Sinterniklaas in the English adaptation.
Priest Isis (神官アイシス Shinkan Aishisu?) is a loyal priestess that serves Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt and wields the Millennium Necklace. Ishizu Ishtar is the reincarnation of Isis. She is named after the Egyptian goddess Isis. Voiced by Sumi Shimamoto in the Japanese version.
Priest Karim (神官カリム Shinkan Karimu?) is one of the six High Priests that served under Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt 5,000 years ago during his reign, and was the owner of the Millennium Scales at the time. He appears as an NPC aligned with Dark Yugi in the Shadow RPG. Voiced by Masahito Kawanago in the Japanese version.
Priest Shada (神官シャダ Shinkan Shada?) is one of the six priests that guarded Pharaoh Atem 5,000 years ago and appears as an NPC in the Shadow RPG. He is the keeper of the Millennium Key during Atem's reign. He appears to have a friendship with Priest Seto, and although he was relunctant, Shada aided Seto in his criminal hunt for Monster Spirit Ka with his Millennium Key. He later dies after pushing Atem out of the way of a lightning bolt caused by Zorc Necrophades, having his Ba Gauge wiped out (in the English version of the anime, he is sent to the Shadow Realm). After his death, Siamun, his predecessor, took back the Millennium Key in order to called forth Exodia the Sealed One. Although he is the wielder of the Millennium key and has a similar name to Shadi, the two are not related in any way. Voiced by Sumi Shimamoto in the Japanese version and Sakura Nogawa when he was young.
Siamun Muran (シモン・ムーラン Shimon Mūran?, known as Shimon in the English anime) is a vizier of Pharaoh Atem. He resembles Yugi's modern day grandpa, Sugoroku Mutou. He was originally one of the Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen's original guardians and was the former keeper of the Millennium Key, the predecessor to Shada. He was voiced by Tadashi Miyazawa in the Japanese version.
Mana (マナ Mana?) is a childhood friend of Atem and studies magic under Mahado as his apprentice. She is a light-hearted, open, playful and caring girl, who shares a deep bond between her master and Atem; the anime shows all three were childhood friends. She appears in the Millennium World arc as an NPC during Dark Bakura's Shadow RPG game. Her Ka is the Dark Magician Girl. In the anime, she can see Atem's friends from the present and initially mistakes Yugi for him. Voiced by Yuki Nakao in the Japanese version.
Kisara (キサラ Kisara?) is the keeper of the Blue Eyes White Dragon Monster Spirit in the Millennium World arc. Her pale appearance is unusual, and she is mentioned as being from a "foreign country" in the Japanese anime. In the second series anime adaptation, it's stated that as children, Priest Seto saved Kisara from slave traders, and she repaid him by unconsciously releasing her inner dragon spirit after the traders set fire to his village and killed his mother. Years later (their first meeting in the manga), Seto again stumbles across Kisara being stoned because of her pale white skin, deep blue eyes and snow white hair. Shada senses the immeasurably strong strength and power within her — which he deems "equal to that of the [Egyptian] Gods" — and Seto takes her back to the palace, where he recognizes her as the girl he once saved some years ago. Kazuki Takahashi has said that he originally planned for the story to have much further explored the strong romantic relationship between Seto and Kisara, but in order to meet a deadline these details had to be cut. According to Takahashi, Priest Seto's strong romantic feelings for Kisara are the main basis behind Kaiba's modern-day unusually strong obsession with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card.[6]
Kisara is voiced by Rie Nakagawa in the Japanese version.
In the manga, Bobasa (ボバサ Bobasa?) is a member of an Egyptian tombkeeper clan that protects the Millennium Items under the command of Shadi. He has Shadi's Millennium Scale as well as his Millennium Key. Bobasa protects the items by placing them on his abnormally-shaped chest and locking his clothes. He then swallows the key, and is able to regurgitate it at will. He accompanied Yugi and his friends into the Millennium Puzzle's maze, a continuation of the Labyrinth Treasure Hunt from the early manga, in order to find the true door to the king's memory. He later enters the Memory World with Yugi and his friends and becomes an NPC in the Shadow RPG. In the manga, it is revealed that he is actually Hasan, which in turn, means that he is actually Shadi.
In the Duel Monsters anime version, his role and character are completely altered. Bobasa appears as a comic relief NPC that inhabits the Shadow RPG. He is a key switch that can lead the player to where the Pharaoh's name is if the player gives him enough food to eat. It is never fully explained to who and what he actually is, but it's implied that he could have been a genie or some other supernatural entity because he said that now that he's full, he can "grant your wish." When he finally took them to the Pharaoh's tomb, he vanished and seemed to know a lot more about the situation then he was first implied to. Unlike the manga, Bobasa is not an alternate identity of Shadi.

Vanderbilt opens the 2014 season on the West Coast for the first time since 2012 when the Commodores began the year with a trip to Stanford. Since Head Coach Tim Corbin's arrival in 2003, the Dores have opened their season out west six times, including this weekend's series at Long Beach State. The trip to southern California is the first for Vandy since 2011 when the Commodores played three games against San Diego and one against San Diego State. The return to the Los Angeles area is the first since 2010 when Vandy took on UCLA, USC and Oklahoma State.

[QUOTE=BCKRIDER;845489]I have to confess I've never been on a "charity ride" and don't even understand the concept. Giving to those in need is good and I do it. Just don't understand how riding a motorcycle in a group benefits those who really could use some benefit. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
You have to pay to go on the ride, and that money goes to a charity.
I few years ago our town had a charity ride to raise money for our new Hospice House. I really didn't want to go on a large group ride, but wanted to donate, so I stopped in at the Hospice and gave them a check directly.

RECRUIT, THE - DVD review
"Nothing is what it seems."
Just a year before this film opened, we found Al Pacino co-starring with Robin Williams in the taut mystery "Insomnia." It was a good, complementary pairing of characters we enjoyed learning more about. In 2003's "The Recruit" Pacino is paired with Colin Farrell, another fine actor, but the outcome is quite different. Neither of the characters they play involves us enough to care much about them; consequently, we don't care much about the film, either.
"The Recruit" relies entirely on its convoluted plot to carry the day, and it's not up to the task. Director Roger Donaldson did better when he had a script like "Thirteen Days" to deal with because the events in that film were real and made sense. The script for "The Recruit" feels like a trip through an amusement-park fun house it's so unreal, and not even a talented director can make sense of it.
Resembling Tony Scott's "Spy Game," the 2001 thriller about the older spy tutoring the younger one, "The Recruit" puts CIA agent Pacino into the role of a father figure to young Farrell, whom he persuades to join the organization. From there on, however, the resemblance ends, as the new film forges ahead with a maze of complicated contrivances that make "Spy Game" seem positively matter-of-fact. Add, too, that the leads in "The Recruit" never develop any strong bond and their characters never grow as a result of their circumstances, and you get a fairly routine, if sometimes surprising, motion picture.
Pacino maintains his usual on-screen tough-guy persona as Walter Burke, senior CIA instructor extraordinaire, forever growling out bits of wisdom, barking orders, and looking confident and full of himself. However, since Burke's demeanor never changes through the story, it's up to Farrell's character, James Clayton, to carry the film; but, unfortunately, although he's in virtually every scene, Farrell is not given enough to do to carry anything. Burke is the newcomer, a dynamite computer programmer and part-time bartender, who seems equally as confident as Burke but is infinitely more sensitive. Why if he's such a hotshot programmer he's tending bar, I never did figure out. In any case, Burke wants Clayton to join the team and lures him into trying out with vague promises of revealing the circumstances of Burke's father's mysterious disappearance a dozen years before, possibly as a CIA operative.
The first half of the film recounts Clayton's schooling at the CIA training facility known as "the farm." It is here that Burke tells him for the second time, "Nothing is what it seems." By now it should be clear to the viewer that nothing in the film is to be taken at face value, and we are subsequently exposed to a series of sneaky maneuvers that make our head spin. Burke is there to teach the new recruits "to deceive, role play, psychologically assess, sell, exploit...and kill." The viewer should never forget it.
The Company motto: "Our failures are known; our successes are not." One of the recruits is to be chosen for the golden opportunity of becoming a NOC, a nonofficial cover operative, a true spy, alone and unprotected, the job they all aspire to, heaven knows why. Everything the recruits do, they're told, is a test, and ultimately, everything they do begins to test the patience of the movie audience. It's also at the training facility that Burke falls for a fellow recruit, the beauteous Layla Moore, played by the beauteous Bridget Moynahan. Will one of them attain the elusive goal of becoming a NOC, and if so, how will it affect their relationship?
After the training portion of the film is over, a spy-vs-spy operation consumes the second half. In both sections, tricks and gimmicks abound. Before long, we don't know what's real and what isn't, what's a test and what's not. Halfway through, no one knows what to believe or whom to trust. The only question is how many times will the viewer be taken in.
The movie becomes one long variation on "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," wherein we quickly come to mistrust everyone, including the filmmakers. We're strung along guessing so much of the time about whether what we're seeing is true or fake that we find ourselves no longer interested in the actual plot. Indeed, we're not even sure what is the actual plot. By the time the final story shifts have occurred, we're so numb, we no longer care. While bits and pieces of the movie are engrossing in themselves, the affair as a whole is so dependent on plot contrivances and so altogether preposterous, it seems an unfortunate waste of Pacino's and Farrell's acting talents.
Trivia note: Everyone in the film uses an Opera 5 browser. Is this because programmers everywhere along with the CIA have adopted it for its speed, or because the Opera folks paid the filmmakers a bundle for such prominent product placement? When this kind of question become the dominant part of one's film-watching experience, you know the story and its characters have been left behind.
The THX-mastered transfer looks pretty good. The anamorphic widescreen presentation measures about 1.75:1 across a normal TV, quite a bit shy of its 2.35:1 theatrical size but better, I suppose, to accommodate the dimensions of a 16x9 (1.77:1) widescreen TV. The image is reasonably sharp, well balanced in color, not too bright or glossy, and dark in tone to complement the subject matter of the movie. There is a minimum of grain, but darker areas of the screen are a touch murky and reveal less detail than might be ideally desirable. Since much of the film takes place at night, it rather spoils some of the fun.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound reproduction is typical of a modern film. The audio has good range and a wide, left-to-right spread across the front speakers. The surrounds are used mainly to enhance musical ambiance, with the occasional aural effect of cars or tires in the rear. Dialogue is clear and clean, but, of course, it's firmly anchored in the center channel no matter where the person talking is located on screen.
The bonus items are the usual ones you'd expect to accompany a new movie on DVD. There's the requisite audio commentary, this one with director Roger Donaldson and star Colin Farrell. There's a sixteen-minute featurette, "Spy School: Inside the CIA Training Program," that compares some of the preparation CIA agents go through in the film to the preparation agents receive in the real world. There are four deleted scenes that may be played with or without commentary by Donaldson and Farrell. Interestingly, they are presented in something closer to the film's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio than the feature film is. Lastly, we have eighteen scene selections and a THX Optimizer set of audiovisual calibration tests. English and French are the spoken language options, with Spanish subtitles and English captions for the hearing impaired. No trailers for this film or anything else, and the usual booklet insert has been replaced by an advertisment.
Parting Shots:
"The Recruit" moves along at a healthy clip, and Pacino and Farrell are solid in their roles. Yet the movie never grips one the way it should. The characters are static, they never develop into anything more than they appear on the surface, so it's the film's plot a viewer must rely on for any sort of entertainment. But because the plot is so full of twists and turns, it soon becomes tiresomely and predictably unpredictable.
The movie is good for a single run through, but it's not really as much fun as I thought it might be. Once finished, I had no desire to watch it again, ever.

Brad Marchand and the 'give it to Thornton' Bruins offense
|10.18.10 at 8:31 pm ET
Sometimes it's hard to argue with a player's logic. Monday was not one of those days.
After going from player to player discussing how one prepares for a player like Alexander Ovechkin, a stop by Brad Marchand's locker in the Bruins' dressing room brought about a most peculiar discussion. Reporters were talking about the undersized winger and how he and Gregory Campbell go about setting up Shawn Thornton, who on Saturday notched his first goal in over a calendar year in the Bruins' 4-1 victory over the Devils.
"I think he's really underestimated, and we always talk about it in the [dressing] room: Just give it to Thornton, go in front of the net, and he's going to put it in," Marchand said as reporters laughed. "That's what our game plan is."
Upon his suggestion that the team would enter a game planning on feeding Thornton, who, in all fairness, did have as many shots on goal Saturday (three) as all three second-liners combined, reporters noted that such logic would apply more to the likes of Ovechkin. Fifty-goal scorer or one-goal scorer, Marchand still trusted the plan of getting it to their enforcer, and joked that the coaches agree.
"Yeah, they pulled us in and they were like, 'Listen guys, your whole game plan is to give it to Thornton, and you guys just skate around and make him look pretty," Marchand said.

This is a delicious rendition of jerk chicken !!! I would recommend this recipe to anyone !!! Excellent !!!
I found it to be the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. This is most likely the best jerk chicken that I have ever had.
This is a great recipe - cravable. I have made it a dozen times and everybody loves it. Make extra sauce, as it goes quickly.
We particulary loved the sauce, but it has to sit a day. I would consider heating it up to eat with the chicken, leftovers make great bbq sauce. I wasn't particular about the malt vinegar, I used my own chipotle vinegar instead (another recipe on this site) and also "only" used one jalapeno pepper instead of the two habaneros - and we do like it hot normally, but this was quite hot enough.
Outstanding, even when you screw up. I misread the recipe, and blended all the ingredients together, instead of making the separate sauce. It was excellent, and that's the way we make it now.
Phenomenal recipe! I only subbed cognac for rum (I hate rum!) and 3 jalapenos for the habaneros (all my grocery had on hand!) So easy! This will become a staple in my home!
Our church had a Carribean pot luck one Sunday. I fixed this dish to rave reviews. Just wonderful!
This marinade is sensational! I make double the marinade recipe and freeze it in small portions , since it can be a pain to make. This is fantastic on fish as well - I have used the sauce (with the ketchup and soy) on Tilapia and grilled / broiled it several times- always a crowd pleaser.

Wyndham's Theatre Seating Guide
The Wyndhams theatre is a traditional building at the base of Charing Cross Road set amongst the hustle and bustle of Leicester Square. The theatre opened in 1988 and continues to boast its late Victorian style. The venue has been home to a number of straight plays and musicals, but is now used to housing short runs of popular new plays or transfers from other venues, such as the year long Donmar in the West End residency.
The theatre is taller and shallow and offers seats over four different levels. Each level is particularly shallow, with long rows running around the balconies rather than out from the stage. Boxes at the Royal Circle level are difficult to see from, and the whole auditorium presents different degree of problems along the way. It is worth checking out which seats offer the best value for money before you book.
Big Budget TipBest seats are towards the front of the Dress Circle. Avoid the first row, as the curve of the balcony can be obstructive.
Best Value TipThe Balcony in this theatre provides good views of the stage, although it does feel far back. Chose rows B and D to see over the safety rail, and look for a bargain ticket to make these seats worth your money.
Shows at the Wyndham's Theatre
Hot off the back of a critically acclaimed sold out run at the Almeida theatre comes Mike Bartlett's hit new play. It imagines a future where the Queen is dead and Charles succeeds the throne to disastrous effect. The play is structured like one of Shakespeare's history plays and written in blank verse and iambic pentameter. Directed by Rupert Goold.

Heart Disease Health Center
5-a-Day 'Not Enough' Fruits and Vegetables
5-a-Day 'Minimum'
In a statement, Victoria Taylor, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, says, "The take-home message is still that eating fruit and vegetables is healthy for your heart. We need to remember to make five portions our minimum as the more fruit and vegetables people ate the lower their risk of dying from heart disease became."
Recent research from the British Heart Foundation and the University of Oxford suggested that 15,000 lives a year could be saved if everyone ate five servings a day.
Taylor continues: "We still don't know exactly why we see this relationship between fruit and vegetables and heart disease. It may be something in the fruit and vegetables itself, but equally it could be something in the lifestyles of people who tend to eat more fruit and vegetables. There's still work to be done by researchers to answer these questions."

Why Your Twitter Profile Picture is More Important Than You Thought
It's Twitter Tuesday, and my study of good Twitter profile pictures has yielded some blog-post-worthy results. But first, a question: If a tweet falls in the forest, will anyone read it? You're churning out 140 characters of brilliant headlines and observations. You're promoting great content through links. You're participating in relevant hash tags. And you're… Read More

Twitter shows up in Google SERPs again
Important update: Man, did I get this one wrong.

This ring is even more beautiful in person. There is a perfect combination of sparkle from the stones and the glow of the rose gold surrounding the stones. This is a beautiful ring. The stones are small which makes this ring even more believable. Gorgeous! I highly recommend this beautiful rose gold ring if you like rose gold, if you like unusual jewelry pieces, if you like bling!
This ring is like no other!! It really sparkles and it looks great on. It's my new favorite ring! I really can't say enough about it. Just buy it and see for yourself why it is such a great buy. I would definitely recommend this ring to ANYONE!!!!!
I really love this ring. I put a picture up of me wearing this ring on instagram and everybody thought I was engaged, because the ring looks so rich.
The ring was very pretty and believable in appearance but it seemed to fit small, so unfortunately I had to send it back.
This is a very pretty ring, but I only wore it for a couple of days and two of the small diamonds already fell out. If not for that, I would definitely recommend it, but for the price I was expecting a little better quality.
It is one of the most beautiful rings I have bought. It is awesome. I love and recommend it.
I had been looking at this ring for days before I finally decided to order it in rose gold. I read the other reviews, and there wasn't a single negative one. First, I was glad to see it in a size 5 as it is hard for me to find rings that fit. The sizing is accurate, as it fits perfectly. Second, it sparkles like crazy when the light hits it, especially the sunshine. I just love it! If you are contemplating purchasing this ring, I would highly suggest it!

Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan getting ready for their fight scene.
I posted this three times tonight and had three people tell me that I helped save their life. Thank you to those people who have decided to struggle through to let us enjoy the gift of one more day of their prescence gracing us all. I hope that you all reblog this, to save another few. Because we all dserve another chance and hope in life. I went to the hospital 6 times before I decided to keep my life but I hope none of you suffer that much. And I hope you all can make that scary, seemingly painful, blind, hoping, wonderful step to live.
I want to help you in any way I can. ANYTHING. I mean it. If I had had someone stay with me and text me or talk to me all night, just one time, it would have changed my life. I know how hard those nights can be.
^I love this girl more than words can express.
foundmywaywheniwaslost: I am always here if anyone ever needs to talk/vent. You have a purpose, Please Stay Alive. <3
Not just for tonight but for the rest of your life. You have so much to look forward to in the future that if you choose to kill yourself, it will be the biggest mistake of your life. You're going to miss out on people you'll never be able to meet, kids you'll never have, a partner to love or partys to go to. There's just too much that you'll miss out on. You deserve and have the right to be here as much as the person next to you does. You're just a drop in the ocean. You were meant to be here and you have a purpose. Don't ever forget that. And if you feel like you don't, just believe in yourself because you do. If you ever feel worthless or like shit, know that I love you and those dicks that tell you shit are jealous that you're who you are because there's something about you that they wish they could have. Please stay strong and never give up because things DO GET BETTER.
3rd time I reblog this xx
Keep your self awake, I hope your here to stay. This day is not yet over, let me be your four leaf clover.

Don't Tell Me Lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi
They said,
shes a young and shines thigs way to loud,
she'll be five for five run with the crowd, got me thinking whats this all about
if they'd ask they'd lie, your much to proud,
ya gotta toe the line run with the crowd but what they're trying to say is just as loud
when I stood up tall they cut me down,
pray for me to fall, push me around,
gotta speak my mind, yeh, scream and shout,
ohhh, Don't tell me,
what to do, where to go or what is real,
Don't tell me, who to be, what to think or how to feel,
gotta rise to make a stand,
i gotta fight for who i am,
I won't run or hide, this is me in time,
Don't tell me
Kiss my face goodbye ain't no more doubt,
sponsored linksain't no need to hide what im all about,
Got me shining, no matter what they say,
you don't like that fine, well thats your choice,
gotta speak my mind, i got a voice,
did you not hear me when i said,
When i stood up tall they cut me down,
pray for me to fall, push me around, gotta speak my mind yeh, scream and shout
Oh, you may fake and you may lie,
to get you where you can,
oh not the change oh no not i,

You can take, what you like, won't make no
difference now,
Im gonna tell you one last time, im gonna
scream and shout! scream and shout!

Penn State fell in a 2-0 hole early in the first period and could not mount a comeback against the Lindenwood Lions Saturday afternoon in a 2-1 loss. The Nittany Lions outshot their opponent for the first time since October 19 against Union, winning the shot column 46-29.
Jenna Welch added her first goal of the season and Jill Holdcroft picked up her third assist on Welch's second period tally.
"It was a little bit of a slow start but we picked it up. Tonight was a big night for us, we got a lot of shots on net but the bounces didn't go our way," starting goaltender Nicole Paniccia said. "We outshot them and that's a big thing for us. Tomorrow we're ready to go."
Lindenwood tallied the opening goal of the game 9:27 into the first period. Lion Alyssa West picked up teammate Carrie Atkinson's rebound in front of the net to Paniccia's right side and beat the Penn State goalie between the leg and blocker for the 1-0 lead.
Two minutes later, Lindenwood doubled their lead on a power play goal. With Welch sitting in the penalty box for two minutes on an interference call, Lindenwood swarmed the net and Caitlyn Post's shot in close deflected up and over Paniccia's shoulder glove side and the Penn State goalie could not get a glove on it at 12:44 of the first frame.
Penn State's quality chances finally payed off 3:25 into the middle frame. Holdcroft's rebound in a pileup in front of the Lindenwood net bounced right to teammate Welch, who held off a defender long enough to fire it in the wide open net past Lindenwood goaltender Nicole Hensley.
The Nittany Lions almost tied the game at 2 all on their first power play of the game. With 6:40 gone in the period, Lindenwood's West went to the box for cross-checking and Penn State went on the extra-skater advantage. A Nittany Lion shot trickled through Hensley and almost over the line, but the Lindenwood goaltender pounced on the puck before it could go across the red line.
Shannon Yoxheimer had her best chance of the game at the end of the second frame. The sophomore somehow got open in front of the Lindenwood net with less than ten seconds remaining in the period and received a pass from the boards but could not get the shot on net as she missed it wide to end the middle period.
The ice opened up a bit for Penn State on a 4-on-4 chance near the halfway mark of the third. Welch sat for two on an interference call with 5:41 gone in the third then Lindenwood's Katie Nokelby went to the box for hooking 36 seconds later. Neither team could net any goals during the minors.
Taylor Gross made a few key plays in the final period, blocking a point shot then almost connecting on a one-timer in the final minute of the game but missed wide.
Lindenwood took a holding penalty with 2:06 left to play in the game and Penn State skated 6-on-4, after pulling Paniccia, for the remainder of the game. The Nittany Lions had their chances but the Lindenwood defense and Hensley's outstanding play conserved the win for the opposing team.
"Mostly proud of our effort tonight and frustrated on behalf of my hockey team because they played so well," Coach Brandwene said. "In so many ways we played a fabulous hockey game today and my job as the coach is to be frustrated for them and honor their effort. It was a great hockey game."
Penn State and Lindenwood will rematch Sunday afternoon at noon as Penn State looks to find their first win since January.

The Baltimore Ravens Pounce on the AFC North [2011 NFL Division Preview]
8/29/11 in NFL | BenSullivan | 96 respect
8/29/11 in NFL | BenSullivan | 96 respect
9/2/11 | Joe_L | 12372 respect
I agree in the past ten season the Steelers could only come away with. 8 winning seasons, 3 wild card appearances, 5 divisional playoff appearances, 5 conference championships (loosing 2 of those) and 3 super bowl appearances (winning 2 of those). Just plain pitiful, they should be ashamed.
Just a FYI the Steelers are a blitzing team.
carry on....
8/30/11 | RaiderSteeler15 | 21543 respect
We'll c who's da toughest team in da AFC North...
8/30/11 | derms33 | 17653 respect
Steelers still can't cover anyone. Relying on your blitz and sacks to win games can only make up for terrible coverage for so long
8/30/11 | derms33 | 17653 respect
gained Ricky Williams, Lee Evans, Bernard Pollard...Stallworth? He was only a threat to kill someone
8/29/11 | kramer | 11004 respect
Mike Wallace will be in his 3rd year. I expect a great deal from him this year. I've also loved what I've seen from Antonio Brown. This is the best WR core the Steelers have had in a long time. I know age will eventually catch up to Hines, but he still appears to have something left in the tank. I'm thinking he still has 2 years left, 3 at most.
The Ravens have a good bit of weapons, but I think their offense lost a little too much in one year. No Heap, McClain, McGahee, Mason, AND Stallworth? That's a lot to overcome IMO.
I say 13-3 for the Steelers, possibly 14-2. Ravens will be 10-6, still a legit contender for the Wild Card, but they, like the Steelers, have been a defensive powerhouse for a long time, and with an offense that hasn't always put up big numbers to being with, losing so many key players and replacing them with guys who I don't think can match what the lost players have done, the Ravens will take a step backwards this year.

"You can now get at your family members' iTunes purchases, with permission."
"Vevo is using our playlist engine to turn any Vevo play into a Vevo station that's personalized based on your music tastes," says Echo Nest CEO Jim Lucchese. "We can analyze your iTunes library on an opt-in basis to understand your overall music personality, and from there generate a customized Vevo channel using any seed artist or track."
Vevo, Echo Nest Team For Personalized Music Video Recommendations Based On Your iTunes Library
Tuesday, Google Launched Music Beta, a cloud-based music service that lets you stream all your songs from any device. Well, any Android-based device, at least according to Google. But as we learned after a day of playing, Music Beta can work just as well without Android—and that may just be where Google has a leg up against Apple and iTunes.
Planetary (voiceover) from Bloom Studio, Inc. on Vimeo.
NERD ALERT! Okay, admittedly I shouldn't be so excited about this, but just watch this video of a new iPad app that displays your iTunes music library as a 3D galaxy! This blows any previously created iTunes visualizer out of the water, ocean, and planet— literally. If you were to project this at a party, your friends might even stop dancing just to look at it. It's Friday. Get your geek on!
Planetary, a free iPad app from the data-artists at Bloom, is jaw-droppingly, eye-poppingly gorgeous. It analyzes your iTunes music library and visualizes it as a 3D galaxy, where artists become stars that form constellations, albums are planets orbiting those stars, and individual tracks are moons that spin around the planets. It's "music of the spheres" made stunningly literal. But according to Bloom, it's so much more than that.
