Magnum, P.I.
CBS (ended 1988)
Former Naval Intelligence officer Thomas Magnum resigns his commission to become a private investigator on the north shore of Oahu,
Hawaii. He lands a home in the guest house on the estate of millionaire author Robin Masters in exchange for testing the estate's security, but is forced to work under the strict and ever watchful eye of Jonathan Quayle Higgins, a former British Army soldier who serves as the estate manager, and constantly patrols the grounds with his two "lads" Zeus and Apollo, who are loyally trained Doberman Pinschers always ready to pounce on Magnum. Magnum makes good use of the perks that come with working on the estate, including driving Masters' sporty red 308 GTS Ferrari, Audi, and all-terrain Jimmy, as well as equipment such as high-end cameras and telescopes. Of course, all of these expensive toys are under the keen scrutiny of Higgins, and Thomas often finds himself at the end of Higgins's hard bargaining to secure their loan. Although Magnum's carefree ways often clash with Higgins's stricter manner, their mutual respect forms a strong basis for their working relationship. Two of Magnum's former Vietnam comrades and friends live and work nearby. T.C. Calvin owns "Island Hoppers", a helicopter tour company, and Rick Wright manages the King Kamehameha Club, an exclusive beach front club. T.C.'s piloting skills and Rick's shady underworld contacts often get them roped into Magnum's cases. Others in Magnum's circle include Naval officers Mac MacReynolds, Maggie Pool, and Buck Greene; Hawaii P.D. officers Nolan Page and Yoshi Tanaka; Dr. Ibold; Higgins's fellow Brit Agatha Chumley; Rick's underworld contact "Ice Pick"; and Deputy D.A. Carol Baldwin. Robin Masters was never fully seen, ultimately leading Magnum to the conclusion that Higgins was actually Masters, though this theory was never fully proven. The show was a huge hit, with the first five seasons ranking in the top 20 shows in the U.S. ratings each year, thanks to its wide range of stories appealing to a broad cross section of fans, The series ranged from broad slapstick comedy and farce, to deep, thoughtful drama, to edge-of-the-seat action. The series was widely applauded for being the first to recognize the difficulty Vietnam era soldiers faced in making the readjustment to civilian life. Many episodes touched upon the impact that serving in Vietnam had on Magnum and his friends, as well as echoes to the events of World War II. The series won many awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes for Selleck and Hillerman. Broadcast History: December 1980 - April 1981: Thursday on CBS, 9:00 PM October 1981 - April 1987: Thursday on CBS, 8:00 PM October 1987 - May 1988: Wednesday on CBS, 9:00 PM

NBC (ended 1973)
White-haired Ben was the proud patriarch of the Cartwrights, the family at the center of one of TV's most beloved
and long-running series. Their ranch, the Ponderosa, was 1,000 square-miles (600,000 acres) in size and sprawled from mountainous shores of Lake Tahoe to the desert terrain near Virginia City in the Nevada Territory. Ben oversaw his frontier empire with the help of his three sons: Adam, Hoss, and Joe. The series was set in 1859 when the series began and would progress through and following the Civil War.
---------------------------------- Series creator and producer David Dortort, who oversaw the series during its 14 year network run on NBC, says he first first got the idea for the series writing the 1953 episode of "Fireside Theatre" titled "Man of the Comstock."
---------------------------------- By 1959, NBC wanted a big filmed series to promote the sales of color television sets. NBC was the only network investing in color programs since its parent company RCA owned the electronic color transmitting system used by TV. "Bonanza" was just the type of show the network needed to "show off" its living color. In its initial season, it floundered in the ratings on Saturday nights against CBS' "Perry Mason"; it's said its renewal had a lot to do with its being shot in color. In the second season, "Bonanza" more than held its own in the Nielsens. It was the network's decision to move the series to Sunday nights that allowed it explode into a Top-10 hit.
---------------------------------- "Bonanza" differed in many ways from the dozens of other westerns on the air during its run. It relied more heavily on the characters than it did on action--though there was plenty of that. Good and bad weren't always as simple as "black hats" vs. "white hats"; many times, good people didn't live happily ever after. Despite that, Ben imparted a high code of ethics upon his sons. Among the principles:
1-Intolerance and bigotry were not acceptable. The Cartwrights often came to the defense of Indians, Chinese, and others who were the targets of the narrow-minded.
2-Once a man had paid his debt to society and was released from prison, he deserved a clean slate and a chance to start over.
3-The land was sacred. Ben's greatest business headaches came from his refusal to allow his land to be polluted and destroyed for profit. When the Cartwrights cut down a tree for lumber, they planted another. Their environmental concerns remain unique for a television series.
---------------------------------- Ben's path to his dream home of the Ponderosa (named for the Ponderosa Pine, plentiful in that area) was a long time in coming. He was a seaman, acting as first mate for Captain Abel Stoddard, when he met his boss' daughter Elizabeth and fell in love. She died after giving birth to first child Adam. Leaving the sad memories behind in the Northeast, he traveled to St. Louis and opened a trading company. He met and married the Swedish stunner Inger Inger Borgstrom who loved horses and shooting. She gave birth to son Hoss en route to the frontier, but was killed by an arrow during an ambush. Moving to New Orleans, Ben became an importer/exporter and fell for Creole beauty Marie DeMarigny. He made her wife number three and finally made it to the West. They established the Ponderosa and she gave him another son, Joseph. Marie died several years later in a riding accident. The story of each of these romance were detailed in individual episodes early in the series' run.
---------------------------------- The high mortality rate of women encountered by Ben and his sons, known jokingly as the "Cartwright Curse," became a running gag among comedians and viewers alike. If a female became a love interest to any of the show's men, even money says she'll be sick, dying, or dead by the end credits.
--------------------------- Location filming kept the series from feeling "studio bound" and gave
a chance to highlight its color cinematography. Though much
filmed on a huge sound stage at Paramount Studios, scenes were regularly shot on the studio's outdoor "Western Street" and on locations throughout Southern California and Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The rising cost of shooting at Paramount eventually forced a move to the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank. To explain the new appearance of Virginia City, Season 12 began with "The Night Virginia City Died" where a huge fire destroyed the "old" town.
---------------------------------- Changes inevitably took place among cast members during "Bonanza"'s long run. After several years of complaining about being held back from a movie career, Pernell Roberts was finally sent on his merry way after of Season 6. Prior to that, amid fears of Roberts' departure, Guy Williams was brought in for a few episodes as Ben's nephew Will Cartwright. It's said the cast resented his character being added and he disappeared after five appearances. Beginning with "Sense of Duty" in Season 9, David Canary joined the cast as Ponderosa ranch foreman Candy Canady. He practically became a Cartwright, appearing in roughly a third of the series' total episodes. He disappeared with no mention at the end of season eleven after failing to get a raise from producer Dortort. Young orphaned teenager Jamie Hunter did become a
fourth Cartwright son when he was taken in by Ben in Season 12 and legally adopted in "A Home for Jamie" the next season. In the wake of Dan Blocker's death following Season 13, the cast was beefed up. David Canary returned as Candy (reportedly Michael Landon personally asked him to appear) and Tim Matheson was added a Griff King, a young man paroled into Ben's custody who was hired as a ranch hand.
---------------------------------- The loss of Blocker left a hole that simply couldn't be filled. This, combined with the show's move to Tuesday nights after eleven years on Sunday, dealt the series a death blow. Ratings took a nosedive and
aired it final episode in the middle of Season 14 on January 16. 1973.
---------------------------------- After all these years,
remains hugely popular. Besides the quality of the program itself, having filmed in color has kept it from looking "old". Episodes began to be released by CBS/Paramount on DVD beginning in 2009, and were uncut from their network airing with all the original music intact.

Battlestar Galactica
Syfy (ended 2010)
The Best Show on Television? Yes, according to Time Magazine, The National Review, Rolling Stone and New York Newsday. Praised
by The New York Times, The New Yorker, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune and many other publications,
Battlestar Galactica
won a prestigious Peabody Award in the spring of 2006. Ronald D. Moore, the producer of Carnivale and writer for
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
, boldly re-imagined the original 1978 space opera of humans versus the robotic Cylons. He teamed up with fellow executive producer David Eick on a powerful and dramatic update of the Galactica story. Gone are the technobabble, disco-themed costumes and Egyptian helmets of the original series. The modern show introduces new elements to the Galactica story. The Cylons have developed human-form models that are indistinguishable from real humans. The Cylons have a monotheistic religion in contrast to the polytheistic religion of the human Colonies. The approach is serious and intense, with a focus on tough political, philosophical and religious issues set in a tale that manages to keep the focus on realistic and not always perfect characters.
In the miniseries, the Cylons launch a massive attack against the humans and wipe out the Twelve Colonies, sending the 47,000 survivors on a desperate search for the fabled 13th colony -- Earth.
Season One Overview
The Cylons declare war on humanity, wiping out billions in an unprovoked first strike. The Colonial fleet is all but eliminated leaving just a handful of ships, including the soon to be decommissioned battlestar
is manned by a crew that never expected to be involved in real duty. With the president gone and the government all but eliminated, Laura Roslin, the Education Minister, takes on the mantle of President of the 12 Colonies. Gaius Baltar, a top researcher in Artificial Intelligence, inadvertently betrayed humanity by allowing a Cylon agent into the defense network, rendering it and all of the Colonial military forces impotent in the face of the Cylon attacks. He sees her everywhere when no one else can. He initially attributes this to stress-induced hallucinations. She tells him that she implanted a chip in his brain during their time on Caprica, which enables her to talk to him. Over the season Baltar falls in love with the Cylon, Number Six, eventually betraying humanity again and again. A lone soldier is trapped on Cylon-occupied Caprica, having given up his seat on a transport for Baltar, as he believes that his own life is not as important as one of the greatest minds of their time. He struggles against the odds, trying to stay alive amid the hostile Cylons. He is surprised to learn that Sharon Valerii, the pilot of the transport, returned for him. However, the truth is that she is actually another human-form Cylon. Sharon and Helo spend the season trying to escape Caprica. Sharon also finds herself falling in love with her human target. The season ends with her pregnant and fighting to save his life. Meanwhile, the copy of Sharon onboard
(known as "Boomer") has set off several bombs and engaged in other acts of sabotage. The season ends with a stunning turn of events after a successful mission to disable a Cylon base ship. For a more detailed overview of the first three seasons,

Awards and critical praise
The 2003 miniseries was the highest-rated miniseries on the Sci Fi Channel (soon to be known as Syfy) at the time. It was also the most successful cable miniseries that TV season.
The first regular season premiered to excellent viewer numbers and critical acclaim. After the midseason break in Season Two, the show received widespread recognition from the mainstream media, including several outlets not always known for their interest in science fiction. As mentioned above, Time Magazine named BSG the best show on television for 2005. Rolling Stone Magazine and New York Newsday also named BSG the best show of the year. Many other publications like the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune lavished praise on the series.
The American Film Institute added the show to its list of the ten best television shows of 2005. The show won Emmy Awards in the usual sci-fi categories of special visual effects but it also received Emmy nominations for writing and directing. It also won a prestigious Peabody award for its general excellence in creativity in the television medium. The Sci Fi Channel has used creative means to promote the series, including the release of certain episodes as free streaming video on the official website. In the month leading up to the start of Season Three, the Sci Fi Channel aired a Web-only series titled
Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance
. The brief, 2 to 3 minute episodes revealed key events from the time period between the Season Two finale and the Season Three premiere episode. Another Web-only series was shown on the official website in the lead-up to the Season 4.5 "final" episodes. A Battlestar Galactica television movie, "Razor", was broadcast in late 2007, followed soon after with a release on DVD. The story followed the struggles of Admiral Cain and young Kendra Shaw as they tried to survive the Cylon attack on the Colonies. The hard-hitting movie was well received by fans and critics. Even though the series "ended" on March 20, 2009, with the two-hour broadcast of "Daybreak, Part 2", the Sci Fi Channel (Syfy) will broadcast one final Battlestar Galactica television movie. "The Plan" is scheduled to air in the fall of 2009. The Galactica franchise will live on, even after the final movie and DVD. A prequel series,
, began production even before
Battlestar Galactica
ended. The pilot movie will be released as a stand-alone DVD in April 2009. The movie will later air on Syfy along with regular episodes of the new series in 2010.

Did a Medieval Chinese astrologer make it into space by strapping rockets to his chair and setting them off? Just
how hard IS it to find a needle in a haystack? Can you in fact go insane by having water drip on your forehead? These are just a few of the myths, urban legends, and improbable sayings that the Mythbusters try to figure out. Comprised of special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Heineman - as well as their mottley crew of Mythbuilders, Mythterns, and resident 'crash test dummy' Buster - they don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test to see which ones are possible, and which ones are just plain bunk.

Kagome Higurashi is a modern day young girl who lives with her family by the old Higure shrine. Unbeknownst to
Kagome, she is the reincarnation of priestess Kikyo and possesses the "Jewel of Four Souls" (the Shikon jewel). One ill-fated day, Kagome locates an ancient well near her home and is abruptly transported through the well and into a feudal Japan, inhabited by demons. There, she encounters Inuyasha, son of a powerful demon father and a human mother, who is pinned to a tree by an enchanted arrow. Kagome frees Inuyasha from the tree before she learns that all of the demons, including Inuyasha, are after the Shikon jewel in her possession. To prevent the jewel from being stolen, Kagome accidentally shoots it with the enchanted arrow, shattering it into thousands of pieces. The evil Naraku also seeks the jewel for his own reasons. New allies, Kagome and Inuyasha, join forces with Shippo, a small fox-demon, Miroku, a monk, and Sango, the sole surviving demon-hunter, in order to combat Naraku and recover the fragments of the "Jewel of Four Souls". But that's just just the tip of the iceberg. 1st Opening Song: "Change the World" by V6 (Episodes 1 to 34) 2nd Opening Song: "I Am" by hitomi (episodes 35 to 64) 3rd Opening Song: "Owarinai Yume" by Aikawa Nanase (Episodes 65 to 95) 4th Opening Song: "Grip!" by Every Little Thing(Episodes 96 to 127) 5th Opening Song: "One Day, One Dream" by Tackey & Tsubasa(Episodes 128 to 153) 6th Opening Song: "Angelus" by Hitomi Shimatani (Episode 154 to 167) 1st Ending Song: "My Will" by dream(Episodes 1 to 20 and 167) 2nd Ending Song: "Fukai Mori" by Do as Infinity(Episodes 21 to 41) 3rd Ending Song: "Dearest" by Ayumi Hamasaki (Episodes 42 to 60) 4th Ending Song: "Every Heart, Minna no Kimochi" by BoA (Episodes 61 to 85) 5th Ending Song: "Shinjitsu no Uta" by Do as Infinity(Episodes 86 to 108) 6th Ending Song:"Itazurana Kiss" by Day after Tomorrow (Episodes 109 to 127) 7th Ending Song: "Come" by Namie Amuro (Episodes 128 to 147) 8th Ending Song: "Brand-New World" by V6 (Episodes 149 to 166) Character Profiles: - Spoilers!!! Inuyasha - Half-human, half-demon, Inuyasha desires the Shikon jewel for his own questionable purposes. Too bad Kagome can control him with magic! Kagome - Kagome is a modern-day 15-year-old girl who lives with her family by the old Higure shrine. She is also the unknowing possessor of a magical jewel. Shippo - Shippo is a young fox-demon with shape-shifting abilities. He likes Inuyasha and is fiercely loyal to Kagome. Sango - Sango the demon hunter lost her whole village to Naraku's forces. Her preferred weapon is a giant boomerang. Sesshomaru - Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's older, pure-demon brother. He seeks the magic sword that his father gave to Inuyasha. Miroku - A Buddhist monk who, because of a curse from Naraku, has a Wind Tunnel (it's like a black hole) in his right hand. He is also quite the pervert. Naraku - Naraku is the villain of the series. His name translates as the word, "hell". He was born through the thief Onigumo's desire for Kikyo when he called dozens of demons in to devour himself. He has the ablilty to change his form into anything he wants, which he did to trick Inuyasha and Kikyo into hating each other. He has used Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru to try and get rid of Inuyasha, but to no avail. He also has an 'army' of bug-type creatures, called Saimyosho. Naraku is also a half-demon like Inuyasha, but born in a different way. Naraku can choose the time of month to return to his 'original' form. He uses this time to re-arrange his body into a stronger and more powerful form. Naraku also gains the ablilty to make offspring, later. Koga - Koga is the son of a leader of the wolf demon tribe. He has 2 Shikon jewel shards in his legs (one in each) which gives him super speed. He first comes into the story when he attacks the village where Rin lived. He also says that he is in love with Kagome, which makes Inuyasha quite annoyed. Koga wants Naraku dead because he created Kagura who killed many of his friends from his tribe.

The Powerpuff Girls
Cartoon Network (ended 2004)
Created by Craig McCracken, The Powerpuff Girls has become popular with a broad audience. The Powerpuff Girls first incarnation was
as a project for Craig McCracken's college class at The California Arts Institution in 1992. Three years later, the crew at Cartoon Network saw it and gave it its first pilot in 1995. Later on in the following year, The Powerpuff Girls had their second pilot, and finally a TV series in 1998.
The show is about three little girls who were created in a laboratory experiment by Professor Utonium, who combined sugar, spice, and everything nice in an effort to create the perfect little girl. However, the professor accidentally added some "Chemical X" into the mix, and the three girls were born from the resulting explosion. With their super charged powers, they challenge the forces of evil so that justice will prevail.
The Powerpuff Girls is one of Cartoon Network's original animated series and is part of the collection known as Cartoon Cartoons.
The Powerpuff Girls is one of Cartoon Network's highest rating shows.
Craig McCracken is also the creator of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Blossom - According to the closing credits' theme song, Blossom is "commander and the leader" of the Powerpuff Girls. The most intelligent and intellectual one of them all, she comes up with most of the plans to defeat the villains. She has very long red hair. At times she can be bossy but she always finds a way to keep her sisters from fighting each other. Her element is everything nice.
Bubbles - Bubbles is "the joy and the laughter" of the group. As the sweetest one of all, she is overly sensitive and just hates to fight with her sisters. Even though she may seem bubbly on the outside she really is tough on the inside and proves at times to be hardcore as her sisters. Her element is sugar.
Buttercup - Buttercup is "the toughest fighter." Her philosophy is to fight first and ask questions later. She is the most eager to defeat the villains on their missions. Though she seems tough all the time, she does have a sensitive side to her, which she rarely shows. Her element is spice.
Professor Utonium - The creator of The Powerpuff Girls, Professor Utonium is their father-figure who guides, teaches, and loves the girls.
Mojo Jojo - The most maniacal of all the villains, Mojo hates The Powerpuff Girls with a vengeance. He used to be known simply as Jojo, the Professor's lab assistant, but after The Powerpuff Girls' birth, the chemicals that created them affected him as well and mutated his brain. Ever since then, he's dedicated his life to crushing them and the world that loves them.
Him - Known as the evilest of evil, Him is a devil figure who despises The Powerpuff Girls. His plans to destroy them are typically the most psychologically twisted, but he always fails in his efforts.
Fuzzy Lumpkins - A country hillbilly. Fuzzy doesn't really care about world domination or taking over Townsville. He just wants people off his property, and turns into a dangerous monster that the girls must fight when anyone violates his personal space.
Princess Morebucks - A spoiled brat with a rotten temper. Princess is rich and gets anything she wants -- but when she meets The Powerpuff Girls, having super powers is what she wants most but can never have. She uses technology to act duplicitous, in hopes of either joining or destroying the Powerpuff Girls, but her efforts always fail.
The Mayor - The dumb, but lovable ruler of Townsville. He mindlessly watches over Townsville and when there's trouble he uses the hotline and alerts the Powerpuff Girls right away.
Ms. Bellum - The beautiful brains behind the Mayor. Whenever the Mayor does something stupid, she corrects it. He would be lost without her. She is also an important female role model for the Powerpuff Girls. In many ways, Ms. Bellum and the Powerpuff Girls are the most powerful people in Townsville.
Ms. Keane - A teacher at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten who is a mentor to The Powerpuff Girls. She is gentle and kind, and when there are problems in the oom, she shows The Powerpuff Girls a better solution without violence.
The Amoeba Boys - Three villains that desperately try to come up with crimes worthy of getting the Powerpuff Girls attention, so they can be considered super villains and go to jail. But they're just amoebas, and their efforts never really come to much.
The Gang Green Gang - A gang comprised of 5 mutated green-skinned teens. Their names are Ace, Big Billy, Grubber, Snake, and Lil' Arturo. Unlike most villains they are not that concerned about taking over Townsville. They just love to commit petty crimes.
Sedusa - Yet another villain, Sedusa is a medusa-like figure who has snake-like hair, the source of her superpowers. She is a master of disguise who uses her feminine wiles to seduce men into giving her want she wants and escaping crimes.
The Rowdyruff Boys - The evil male counterparts of The Powerpuff Girls, these three boys were originally created by Mojo Jojo, using snips, snails, and puppy-dog tails, which he mixed together in a disgusting prison toilet. Their powers are a fairly even match for the girls.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation,
and the Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic. In each generation, only one bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifested in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony. Then, the Fire Nation launched a war against the other three nations. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world domination. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken. In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The Water tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation. Season 1 is titled "Book One: Water", and Season 2 is titled "Book Two: Earth." Each of these seasons contains twenty "chapters." Season 3 is titled "Book Three: Fire", and contains 21 "chapters." Also Known As...: UK: Avatar: The Legend of Aang Latin America: Avatar: La Leyenda de Aang (The Legend of Aang) Brazil: Avatar: A Lenda de Aang (The Legend of Aang) Italy: Avatar: La Leggenda di Aang (The Legend of Aang) Germany: Avatar: Der Herr Der Elemente (The Master of the Elements) Spain:Avatar: La leyenda de Aang (The Legend of Aang) Holland: Avatar: De legende van Aang (The Legend of Aang) Opening Themes: The Pilot: Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days. The time of peace. When the Avatar kept balance between Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar masters all four elements. Only he can stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, He vanished. One hundred years have passed, and Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into Air Nomads, and that the circle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that, somehow, The Avatar will return to save the world. Chapters 3+ Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony, But everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, the master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. One hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. Although his airbending skills are great, He has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe, Aang can save the world. The show retains the same opening theme through the second and third season. All three opening themes are voiced by Mae Whitman as Katara.

Since $A^T = -A$, $(iA)^* = iA$; that is, $iA$ is self-adjoint, hence has real eigenvalues; it follows that $A$ has imaginary eigenvalues.
To prove the second point, you can generalize the approach for matrices given by Arturo Magidin here.

What's the big deal? There have been one room schoolhouses for years in rural areas. K-12. Those kids turned out just fine. My community has already combined middle school students with high school students. There has been no disruption in education from this combination. With proper supervision, this change is AOK.
Hmmm...6-12 graders in the same school. I don't think it'll make the middle schoolers any more sexually precocious, but I do figure that the kids who wake up and smoke pot will start a bit earlier. It'll be the same damn kids, mind you, not new potheads, but just getting a bit of an earlier start.
i went to a 7-12 school. it meant that the middle school aged kids were less monstrous, because they were at the bottom of the social barrel trying to live up to the seniors. my memory is that older kids either ignored the younger ones or were tolerant of them. much less bullying than middle schools, and dating someone too young was not socially acceptable. once the administration sets the tone, it will be fine.
Parents are freaking out because the school district has done little or no public process and is presenting it like a done deal. Many of us in the hood are also concerned about turning the Denny site into locked sports fields instead of a mix of uses that would help the neighborhood instead of visiting ballplayers.

Arsenal Message Board
Oh dear.
"Johan Cruyff admitted that he thought a side could win the Champions League without spending money and the Frenchman agrees with his sentiments.
"I totally agree with Cruyff and I won't change," Wenger revealed. "The only sad thing is that sometimes your work is destroyed by others."
Oh dear.
"You want to see a player in his prime doing it for your club. But it does not work like that all the time. "
"I am a victim of that.
"I lost Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and Cesc Fabregas at an age where they should have been playing their best football for Arsenal."
and now RVP. Oh Dear.
"But I never left the club when I could have.
"I could have left 10 times to join another club but I didn't because I have worked with the same vision and philosophy at Arsenal for the last 16 years ? and that won't change."
Good for you Arsene.
The slight problem is. Most people understand the idea that 'If you always do, what you always did, then you will always get, what you always got.'
Only a complete idiot would think that doing the same thing over and over again will achieve a different outcome. 16 yrs of doing the same thing hasn't yet won you that CL trophy Mr Wenger, so what has changed this year to make it more achievable.

Wrote John......he who barely gets through a post without the mention of my fabulous name or that of Dodge.
Who is he kidding exactly?
If you were a pre-teen you would have an excuse. As it is, you come across as nothing more than pathetic.
You spend your spare moments doing nothing more than following me around like a homeless puppy begging for a morsel of attention.
Honestly, your worse than Fab now and that's saying something.
At least Slayer had the decency to apologise once in a while when he was wrong and try his best to get back on track. You just keep digging yourself a bigger and bigger hole.
You were supposed to have put me on ignore, god knows how many times. Yet you continue to reply and post threads about me. Why?
You are quickly heading towards a permanent state of pathos. Give it up Ducati.
The Londoners The Londoners Jul 16, 2012 23:43 Flag
Desperate! No, I'll rephrase that. With you in mind, flabby and flatulant. Probably why you're not getting any. That's judging by the time you spend on here with boys, especially your Willy??? Been to Cockfosters lately Baptist?

"residing hair lines" - isnt that what you have? your hair resides on one side and you comb it over to the other?
"you're most enjoyable when you struggle for words."
Like receding?
It's a receding hairline. Not a residing hairline. It resides on my head, just.
Now trot along, there's a good Ducati.
These are dumb statements. How can you have a squad without spending money? Are they saying an amateur squad can win the CL? Thats's academic since they can participate. Are they saying Chelsea didn't spend fortunes over the last many years to assemble their squad?
If Wenger really believes this than how does he explain one of the highest wage bills in the PL and not having won a serious trophy for 8 years?
The furthest you can go is saying that spending big does not guarantee success, however you can also assert that spending little guarantees no success.

Well i am f*cked if i can find where you express your thoughts on the Usmanov 'great manager' comment Swerve.
The same thread YOU ADDRESSED my post in.
Take a fucking day off, do us all a favour.
"I could have left 10 times to join another club but I didn't because I have worked with the same vision and philosophy at Arsenal for the last 16 years ? and that won't change."
Yes, I'm sure he had bucket loads of offers for jobs with a completely free reign, no pressure for success, can hire his own Boss and get paid £6.5m a year for all the above.
That's why he didn't leave.....
- 1 Reply to Swerve
What I suspect he fails to mention is that all ten offers came in straight after the invincibles season.
Since then the phone has possibly stopped ringing.
FABONGRASSS FABONGRASSS Jul 11, 2012 16:24 Flag
Let me guess, the answer to ALL the clubs problems John is.....
(Oh....and get rid of Wenger ASAP naturally!)
Still no mention from you whatsoever of the fact that your new hero Usmanov thinks of Wenger as 'our GREAT manager' i see.
I can't for the life of me think why you have chosen to ignore that little fact!
Oh dear indeed.

Pop Goes the Metal
Ariel Pink's Haunted
Irving Plaza
17 Irving Pl., (212) 777-6800
Ariel Pink is a sort of pop savant who came up making improbably sophisticated and sweet indie-rock songs on tape recorders at home in southern California. He worked by mysterious means and sometimes sounded as if he were summoning spirits for a cult—but then, with another click of the "record" button, his songs would switch to modes suitable for an old Dick Clark radio program. After being discovered and thrust upon bigger audiences by way of the experimental art-rock group Animal Collective, Mr. Pink took to cleaning up his homegrown sound, and expanded it in increasingly affecting fashion. He found his fullest form to date on his 2010 album "Before Today," which features a song, "Round and Round," that deserves a placard in a pop-song museum.
Death Cab for Cutie
Bowery Ballroom
6 Delancey St., (212) 533-2111
The slow, quiet coup that elevated indie-rock to its current status in terms of industry and influence owes a debt to Death Cab for Cutie. When the band infiltrated the pop-culture likes of television's "The O.C.," it was clear the nation was ready for fussy, fidgety rock bands that boasted a liking for just the right adverb employed in verses that strive for more than simply biding time until the chorus. By now, the group originally from Bellingham, Wash., has grown into an institution, having written a song for the "Twilight" movie enterprise and, more significantly, releasing "Codes and Keys," a new album that trades familiar strains of doleful brooding for a sound that is brighter and more full of hope.
Dennis Coffey
w/ The Dirtbombs
The Bell House
149 Seventh St., Brooklyn
(718) 643-6510
Dennis Coffey established himself as an inimitable guitarist in the 1960s as a member of the Funk Brothers, which did noble duty as the house band for Motown Records and thus dressed up, musically, scores of hits by the likes of the Temptations and the Supremes. Part of his specialty owed to gritty tones and experimental sounds forged from echo effects and tape delay, as in the Temptations' psychedelic "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)" and Mr. Coffey's own "Scorpio," which helped make him the first white artist to perform on "Soul Train." Mr. Coffey has kept at it ever since, and he plays here behind a new self-titled album full of funky wah-wah wobble and incendiary licks that would have played well back in the day. The Dirtbombs are a younger but stylistically aligned band from Detroit, a lineage that helps to explain their latest project: an album that recasts classics of Detroit techno as garage-rock anthems.
509 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn
(212) 219-8242
It could be argued that the gnomic avant-garde composer John Cage was conducting a circus for most of his long career—but never as expressly as when he commanded his first "Musicircus" in 1967. The concept for the piece—a "happening," in the parlance of the times—called for a typically open and interpretable performance of different works of music all at once, in the service of creating a collage of action and sound that could be navigated by the whims of the audience. To that end, details of the performance here are scant, but the two-day affair—to be spread over Saturday and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. both days—offers a chance to experience the work of Mr. Cage with an attendant sense of surprise. It also offers a chance to get a sneak peek at the new Brooklyn home for Roulette, which will open officially in its new space in Fort Greene in the fall.
Knitting Factory
361 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn
(347) 529-6696
Nobody would mistake the style known as "black metal" for anything less than a serious candidate for the most brutal musical sound in existence. Within that brutality, though, lurks an uncommon capacity for art. Though it was borne out as a sound in Norway, black metal—a variant of heavy metal—has drifted far and wide, as evidenced by the Brooklyn band Liturgy. The group counts among several in New York working to treat black metal as more than just a soundtrack to the act of wearing morbid face paint, and its new album, "Aesthethica," plays as a thrillingly raw blast of power and noise no matter the context. The makeup of the record is murky, with howls and screams buried deep within the mix and guitars that sear over rumbling drums. Live, it stands to sound all the more extreme.

âDonât be an idiot, son. There is no out.â You had to see that line or some other like it coming when it came to Sebastian, a.k.a. Druid. When he was seemingly fired by Nick Fury because he was a liability, that couldnât be the end of him with regards to Fury, because no one walks away, especially guys with potentially limitless magical ability. Fury had to have had some plans for someone like that and, here, after the events of âNight,â we get to see what exactly Sebastian has been doing since he was fired six months ago.
Hickman both plays into and subverts our expectations when he has John Garrett show up and begin training Sebastian. You want to expect the usual mentor/protégé relationship where Sebastian becomes a lean, mean killing machine under Garrettâs watchful eye, eventually proving that he had the potential all along, he just needed more help than the others. Well, that does happen, but not completely, not overwhelmingly. By the end of the issue, Sebastian is still Sebastian, and itâs to Hickmanâs credit that he doesnât do a complete makeover of the character. What we see is another step in the process of the caterpillar program.
The actual execution is a little hit or miss. Garrett making Sebastian fill out a written test, looking it over, and saying it tells him that Sebastian is fat is a funny moment, but the actual training is exactly how you imagine it would be. You can almost hear Trey Parker singing âMontageâ over top. It serves a purpose, but nothing too interesting or new is done with the concept.
What is shown is some of the development of the Leviathan/Hydra war that was mostly skipped over. Some didnât like how Hickman glossed over that and, here, we get to see one of the inciting events, and what Furyâs group had to do with it. Itâs a small moment, but makes for a nice inclusion.
The continued presence of Allessandro Vitti on the title is a good thing, especially in light of Hickmanâs recent revelation that he will remain on the book until the end. Along with Stefano Caselli, Vitti has defined the look of âSecret Warriorsâ and he manages to capture Sebastian completely, able to show the subtle changes that he undergoes physically as the issue progresses without it looking like completely different characters. He also worked on the book so long that he absolutely nails how Sebastian reacts to Furyâs note, capturing the shock, pain, and uncertainty that comes with being fired like that.
As âSecret Warriorsâ heads towards the end, Hickman stops and gives us a breather issue, giving us a good look at Sebastian and that heâs able to live up to his potential more than weâve seen. It fits into the larger context of the title while standing alone. Itâs a pleasant issue, one for the fans.

Instead of seeking the ability to deport Central American children faster, Obama should treat this situation as the refugee crisis it is.
Sacrifice has real moral resonance—but it can also be exploited. In Iraq, past sacrifices don't offer a guide for U.S. policy.
Now and then, someone will ask me "what kind of Christian" I am. I never used to know how to respond.
I would ramble on about how I'm sort of a theological moderate, though it's not that helpful to think of us Christians as existing on a linear continuum, and I'm less focused than some of the Christians I grew up with on individual salvation, not that I think it doesn't matter, and I'm wary of efforts to convert people of other faiths, which isn't to say that I don't value evangelism or the uniqueness of Christ... By this point the person typically lost interest in my endless run-on sentence of negative definition and preemptive defensiveness. I was left wishing I'd just said, "Lutheran."
Then came the 2008 election and the Matthew 25 Network.
Long before Sarah Palin met CPAC and the Duck Dynasty clan discovered A&E, George Gallup Jr. famously declared 1976 the "Year of the Evangelical." Subsequent commentators often pluralized "evangelical." They might have done the same for "year," too. In many years hence—1980, say, or 2004—it was 1976 all over again, to judge from the headlines. Those election years highlighted the Christian Right, a force that was not on Gallup's radar screen back when Jimmy Carter was the prototypical evangelical in public life.
The years of the evangelicals were not only about campaign politics, however.
The United States and the Catholic Church share some intriguing similarities: both are global in reach, exert significant influence over hundreds of millions of people, and (perhaps most interestingly) make serious teleological claims. Such claims have not necessarily clashed, for they appeal to different social and moral aspects of humanity. At their best, they can be complementary empires of promise.
When President Obama argued for U.S. strikes on Syria, he used a familiar trope:
When, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional.
Yet his proposed Syria policy put him in new political territory: against the views of a majority of African Americans.
Holidays evoke moments of reflection. Americans just celebrated Memorial Day, a time to honor those who have fought and died in wars for the nation. Traditionally, people hold parades, gather in cemeteries and rally around monuments to fallen soldiers.
Perhaps it was fitting, then, both that President Barack Obama delivered a signal speech on the war on terror last week and that Google bestowed the honor of "Google doodle of 2013" to Sabrina Brady, a Wisconsin teenager who depicted her father's return from a tour of duty in Iraq.
Sen. Marco Rubio's rebuttal to State of the Union last night was notable mostly for what it didn't do: spend more than a hot second on the subject of immigration. I've been impressed to see the Florida Republican working to convince conservatives that it's time for immigration reform. Sure, his urgency may be as electoral as it is moral. But that doesn't make him wrong.
Still, despite Rubio's considerable gifts—and despite the low bar set by a thankless speaking gig—he sounded pretty out of touch.
Lots of great moments from the Inauguration. Some of them serious, like Obama's full-throated support for LGBT rights. (Though contrary to some reports, it wasn't the first time he used the Seneca Falls/Selma/Stonewall line.) Some of them fun, like watching the First Family behave like a regular, happy, un-self-conscious family. (It's not likely you missed this, but just in case: Malia Obama's amazing photobomb.)
My personal favorite: the president's decision to start using DC's "Taxation Without Representation" license plates on his limo.
It turns out Louie Giglio won't be giving the benediction at Obama's second inauguration. Who will?
Jack Jenkins is right: Minerva Carcaño, Otis Moss, Gary Hall and Brian McLaren are all fine options. Joanna Brooks is right, too: so are Pratima Dharm, Sharon Braus, Sanaa Nadim, Anapesi Kali and Valarie Kaur. Ed Kilgore suggests his own pastor, who's related to Ron and Rand Paul. Sounds okay, too.

This a great film. I think that little kids might not like it though because it has aliens in it and a big chicken monster. but it is funny when the parents do the chicken dance!
I wasn't expecting much from this movie based on the trailer. But it was 100% fun to watch. It was pretty funny too. Good fun from start to finish. Hope they make a few sequels.
I could watch this movie one million times and not get tired of it. Some of the movie is comedy and some of it is action and other parts are all of it.

Company: Cherry Boxxx Pictures
Cast: Faith (I), Sharon Wild, Dick Delaware, Dillan Lauren, Kris Knight, Cheyne Collins, TJ Hart, John West, Chenin Blanc
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
It's a little bit of a stretch, putting girls like Dillan Lauren and Sharon Wild into the MILF category already. Nevertheless, it's never a bad thing putting Dillan Laruen in any title regardless of the genre. And with a hot shot of this femme fatale gracing the box, this one is certain to be an eye catcher.
Porn hounds will be interested in seeing TJ Hart back in action. She gets plowed by John West. And newcomer blonde Faith, who also gets drilled by West, is a welcome surprise.
Retailing: These girls are on the younger side of the older women genre.

Peasants, Farmers and Scientists
A Chronicle of Tropical Agricultural Science in the Twentieth Century
Not for sale in
your country
your country
Not Available
moreThis book is a critical account of tropical agricultural science in the twentieth century, with its successes as well as its fads and failures. Its coverage reaches back into the beginning of the twentieth c- tury, but the second half of the century takes place of choice. Which means that the story is closely linked with that of post-co- nial development and scrutinises the role agricultural science has played (or failed to play) in the advancement of the tropical sma- holder, in particular in Africa. The book was written from the perspective of a practitioner, with the inevitable result that the treatment is skewed by this prac- tioner's own experience. That is an obvious drawback of a pers- alised account, but not a serious one I think, provided the author manages to make up for that disadvantage by getting across to the reader the thrill of his direct involvement. A wide range of topics are covered, including interesting early science from the beginning of the last century (sugarcane breeding and shifting cultivation in Indonesia, anthropological studies in German West Africa), fascinating indigenous farming practices in Africa, the history of Farming Systems Research and its offshoots, computer modelling of crop growth, and the role of development projects, donors and consultants. less
