restarting issues with my s4
earlier today i was about to play a game on my phone, i've been playing it for about a week now with no problems. until today when it decided to completely freeze and shut off and restart itself then would only stay on for about 20 seconds before it would restart itself again. this was ongoing all day and every time it came on my battery life dropped dramatically. first thought was take the battery out and put it back, so i took it out for a few seconds and put it back in and it continued to happen. this was a brand new phone i had gotten through a warranty and i've only had it for 3 weeks now. if anyone has any ideas why this is happening or any helpful suggestions please let me know, thank you.

Re: restarting issues with my s4
Welcome to Android Central! Two main things to check when this happens are the battery and the external SD card. Even though the phone is new, the battery can fail at any time if it's defective. Remove the battery, place it on a table, and try to spin it. If it spins freely, that means it's bulging in the middle, which means it's failing. Try a new battery.
If the battery seems fine, then try removing the external SD card and see if the phone boots up successfully without it. If so, the card might be corrupted. Insert the card into your computer to backup the data, then reformat the card and try using it again.

- About Plattsburgh
At Odyssey, SUNY Plattsburgh's outdoor orientation program for first-year students, it doesn't matter if you've hiked, climbed or paddled your whole life or never seen a mountain, cliff or lake.
Coordinator Sarah Henley says, "Odyssey provides a great bridge, helping new students to come into college with a sense of accomplishment, a sense of empowerment. Their self-esteem is increased through the Odyssey experience."
Students who register for Odyssey move into their new room on campus a week early. They then join more than 50 other newly enrolled students to spend a week at Twin Valleys Outdoor Education Center, 40 miles south of campus in the Adirondack Mountains.
The program includes:
What happens the rest of the time? Camp games, socializing, bonfires, music—all with fellow first-year students.
Henley, who has coordinated Odyssey for nine years, says beyond a fun week, the program has lasting effects on students. She says they form communities—a key part of the college experience—which makes them less likely to drop out and more likely to succeed academically.
"The most powerful part is the friends that come out of it," she says. "Still to this day, students tell me some of their closest friends came from Odyssey."
"It's about a sense of place, a sense of belonging."
This year's Odyssey will begin August 21.
Learn more about the Odyssey Freshman Adventure and register before the end of June.

What would the outcomes have been if Denver's defense NOT kept the games close for TT to finally get it going after his usual 55 minutes of terrible play? Simple answer, they would have lost.<quoted text>
The people with "jobs in the NFL" have decided that Tebow isnt worth the media circus... My post was refuting the idiots that have said he did nothing for Denver, that he doesn't have a job because he sucks... NFL owners have blackballed him... pretty obvious. I am not sure that I would hire him. However, this would be less about him than what followed him.
Denver's D does their job and more for 95% of the game and TT miraculously gets it going in the last few minutes and low and behold you tebowmaniacs give him all the credit and still do.
You also neglect to credit Denver's superior coaching and beastly O-Line and #1 rushing attack that made up for and covered up most if not all TT's faults and protected him while he was throwing to his #1 and #2 WR's being the dirt and the sideline.
Apparently god said to TT Thou shalt not pass and thus is the reason your new Jesus is out of the NFL. God doesn't make mistakes right?

Edinburgh Blog: On dealing with bad reviews
Theo Bosanquet • Edinburgh • 4 Aug 2014
The Edinburgh Fringe is only a few days in but there are no shortage of talking points already. Chief among them on the theatre front is the fate of Northern Stage's marquee show I Promise You Sex and Violence, which has been savaged by critics and prompted a heartfelt response from director Lorne Campbell. (I'm seeing it later today, so don't wish to pre-empt a response, but I can't pretend my expectations are high from what colleagues have been saying.)
Campbell's predicament is one shared by countless others at the Fringe - in the face of bad early reviews, you have to find the will from somewhere to carry on with a three-week run. And having directed myself at the Fringe many moons ago, I know exactly what impact such reviews can have on a company.
I never imagined as a student director that, over a decade later, I'd be back in the capacity of a critic myself. But having been on the other side of the fence I don't wear the responsibility lightly, and always try to give constructive feedback. Sometimes, of course, reviews are felt very personally, and one feels especially for Campbell who, as artistic director of Northern Stage - in residence at a new venue this year, King's Hall - clearly feels added responsibility for delivering a dud. He writes:
Pretending this is happening to someone else is not going to help. It's me, Lorne Campbell, artistic director of Northern Stage and director of I Promise you Sex and Violence and I am going to do this: I am going to live in the given circumstances, pretend nothing, deny nothing but be exactly here.
An admirable response in the circumstances. And, small consolation though it may seem, at least Campbell is not putting himself on stage for judgement, as so many solo performers do every year. I remember a few years back I reviewed a one woman show about the murder of her mother by her step-father, a show which, despite such apparently dramatic material, proved dull and misconceived. I said as much in my two star review, only to receive an email the next day from the performer in question, attaching press clippings of the real story of her mother's murder and implying I was therefore in the wrong for criticising the show.
As awful as this poor girl's situation was (and I hasten to add it wasn't made explicit that the narrative was based on real events), I told her that I stood by my assessment of it as a piece of theatre, but dearly hoped she could work through the obvious trauma she had been through.
It was an episode that served as a sharp reminder of the very personal nature of performance, and that as a critic you're speaking very directly to the ego of those you criticise. I hope Lorne Campbell and others can take comfort from the fact that, whatever the press may say about their work, it's never personal.

Perci Piétro is of Persian and Italian heritage, was born in New York City and spent his younger years being educated in the United States as well as abroad. He is fluent in English, Spanish and Farsi with some background in French and Italian. He attained a BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (BS) degree in Biology, Pre-Med and a MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) degree with a specialization in International Management.
While working on his MBA in Florida, Mr. Piétro helped launch netCOMPONENTS, which has grown today to being the largest internet based source-able database in electronic component industry with offices in the United States and China. Mr. Piétro then set his sights on Miami and opened an upscale lounge on South Beach known as W6. The venue with its high end celebrity clientele, strict door and no interior VIP rope policy, set precedence and is a concept emulated by many night spots today.
Mr. Piétro then attained his real estate license and worked with MAJESTIC PROPERTIES which later merged with DOUGLAS ELLIMAN. Together with his thousands of contacts he took the real estate market by storm transacting on millions of dollars worth of property on both a private and public level in many facets of real estate such as sales, acquisitions, financing, development, leasing, property management, renovation and interior design.
With this experience under his belt, Mr. Piétro then embarked on a new endeavor as a Principal of the real estate brokerage WORLD REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE. The company specialized in general residential, commercial and land transactions and was involved with various development projects both in the United States and abroad.
In 2007, Mr. Piétro organized the merger of his firm World Real Estate Exchange and the almost one hundred real estate professionals, with that of SOUTH BEACH INTERNATIONAL REALTY which later merged with ONE SOTHEBY'S. As a result of this powerful combination, Mr. Piétro had the opportunity to get back to the basics once again and focus on deal making.
One year later, Mr. Piétro set up his office OWN REALTY & OWN FINANCIAL on Brickell Avenue in Miami, an area known as the second largest financial district in the United States after New York City's famed Wall Street. OWN has the unique practice of being a full service, luxury, international brokerage with associates assisting clientele in residential and commercial sales and leasing, business sales, mergers and acquisitions, immigration and consulting on the American Riviera. With his personal clients, Mr. Piétro especially enjoys collaborating with dignitaries, diplomats and business leaders on a global level, which enables him to pursue his passion of international travel and interaction with people from diverse cultures. Coming from an aristocratic background, affords Mr. Piétro the ability to understand the needs of these unique types of clients from their perspective, in providing service and discretion.
In establishing OWN, Mr. Piétro revolutionized the industry by creating a ONE WORLD NETWORK linking different real estate industry brokerage brands from around the world under one umbrella, for collaboration in business and creating synergy, despite varying customs. He also pioneered a Global Matching system via the Internet, designed to pair international buyers of Miami real estate with his firm's various multilingual associates. In 2010 Mr. Piétro became a Certified International Property Specialist making him one of only a few thousand real estate professionals of more than five million associates' world wide at the time, to enjoy the CIPS certification. CIPS Designees transact with ease as they work across boarders navigating the cultural and legal variety which exist in the global mosaic. Additionally, Mr. Piétro became Transnational Referral Certified and holds a TRC designation awarded to him by the International Consortium of Real Estate Associations or ICREA known to be the United Nations of the Real Estate world. In 2011, Mr. Piétro and his firm became one of about a thousand members of the Business Brokers of Florida or BBF providing a more specialized knowledge base to go along with the firm's current memberships with the National, Florida and Miami Associations.
OWN offers clientele a full service experience, assisting throughout every step of the transaction. Mr. Piétro and his team recognize that in selling or purchasing a property or business, many other factors might come into play with each decision such as legal and title services, financing, accounting, architectural and interior design, renovation, schooling, utilities and maintenance, just to name a few. This is why OWN provides a multi-solution platform where associates are committed to the needs of the client each step of the way, coordinating everything from initial introduction, to handing over of the keys.
" As we endeavor forward with OWN, we do so dealing with integrity, etiquette and style, while remembering what Abraham Lincoln once said, ' the best way to predict the future is to create it ' " says Piétro. OWN with distinction...
Miami is the number one international market in the United States of America for buyers of real estate from all corners of the globe; however, they come for many different reasons. Individuals from some countries invest in America due to the strength of their home currencies and economies in relation to that of the U.S., while others come to get a measure of security both for their investments as well as their families offered under our stable government. Many people simply move to the States for education and a more liberated way of life and what better place than a multicultural melting pot with year round tropical weather known as Miami. Being located in Florida, Miami is a unique state which offers buyers a Homestead tax exemption and protection against debtors on their primary residence. Florida also has no personal state income or inheritance tax.
Another reason people come to the United States is not only to visit but to establish citizenship for themselves and their families. U.S. immigration laws allow foreign nationals to obtain a Visa through such programs as the L-1, E-2 and EB-5. Individuals living offshore have the ability to invest in a new business or an existing business in the United States and in some cases by creating a certain number of jobs, achieve residency status. Some of these programs require the applicant to demonstrate the intent to be a resident and purchasing property through the assistance of an OWN Realty associate, is one of the best ways to establish that intent. With OWN Financial, those individuals with Visa ambitions, will be matched with a firm business broker to identify an opportunity and then paired with one of our partner immigration legal and accounting firms for further consulting on the process. "After the subprime mortgage crisis real estate sales across the country were down approximately eight percent, while Miami real estate was up about fifty four percent year over year due to international buyers coming in and paying cash" says Piétro.
The Persian Princess International Collection of OWN Realty is an assortment of uniquely exquisite properties, in select cities across the globe. Most popular with OWN Realty clients traveling abroad, are the rental opportunities which allow individuals to chose from our portfolio of properties in over two dozen un-common, unique cities. What we mean by "un-common" is when someone travels to Spain they might visit Madrid or Barcelona, while we offer a stay in Jerez de la Frontera the birthplace of Flamenco. Should someone wish to visit the Middle East, they might visit Dubai, while we offer a stay in Baku, Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea where the best Caviar in the world comes from. If a family wants to go to the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe, they most likely would visit Prague and we would offer a visit to our property in Karlovy Vary know for being an exclusive spa town and having the most famous mineral springs in the region. Our team coordinates acquisitions and oversees renovation, interior design and management of each custom property. "The concept is to offer affordable domestic and international rental opportunities for individuals and corporations with care, for people to enjoy in elegance and style" says Piétro.
THE INSPIRATION: The name Persian Princess International was inspired by Perci Piétro's (Prince Percia Piétrolungo) grandmother Princess Akram Saremi "Shahzadeh Khanoum Akram Sadat Sarem Al-Saltaneh" and his mother Princess Shanaz Shakoori M.D. (Shahzadeh Khanoum Shahnaz Shakoori) of an ancient royal family history, as direct descendants of the Qajar Dynasty of Turkic origins first settling in Azerbaijan. (The Khazars, were a Turkic people who had originated in Central Asia and settled in cities and towns that they built throughout the North Caucasus and Eastern Ukraine. Kiev, the capital city of modern Ukraine, was largely founded by the Khazars. The name Kiev is a Turkic name, Ki = riverbank and ev = settlement. The Khazars had a tradition of religious tolerance by adopting Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all of which were influenced by the ancient Persian religion Zoroastrianism in the 6th century BCE. The Khazars also settled the Caspian Sea which is still referred to today by the Persians and the Turks as the Sea of the Khazar.)
Under the empire of Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, the realm of many kings was unified under one kingdom known as Persia and its new Shahanshah "King of Kings" who's family ruled for over a century from 1785-1925. The Persian Empire was once the largest known to man, one of the oldest civilizations dating back to 3200BC and spanned across much of the earth. When we think of Persia or modern day Iran, we speak of such things as the Persian Gulf, a Persian Cat, a Persian Carpet, the birthplace of wine and the sport of Polo, perhaps overlooking many significant elements of the country's Indo-European cultural heritage.
Dr. Shakoori's grandfather Sadegh Saremi "Sarem Al-Saltaneh Sardar Nasser Talesh" was the Vali, Hakim and Monarch of Northern Persia, regions as Azerbaijan, Gilan and Mazandaran consisting of cities as Ardabil, Astara, Namin, Rasht and Talesh just to name a few, before he was killed when the State was split by conflict with the Soviet Union. In 1925 Reza Shah Pahlavi a military leader under the Qajars, with an unprecedented vote in Parliament (Majlis), as a formal "coup ď état" of sorts, a subversion of the county's constitution and contrary to the recommendation of the Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, overthrew the young Ahmad Shah, the last of the Qajars, beginning the Pahlavi Dynasty. Along with the Persian ambassador to Germany, the new king influenced the change of the name Persia to IRAN in 1935 to mean "Land of the Aryans" (Aryanism was equated as the highest level of human civilization). In 1941, Reza Shah was forced to abdicate to his son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi . Dr. Shakoori's father Jalil Shakoori, from the same regiment as Mohammad Reza Shah, became one of the top Colonels under the new Shah of what was now IRAN. When the Shah married his first wife Princess Fawzia of Egypt, he named his eldest daughter Shahnaz which meant "love of the King". General Shakoori then named his eldest daughter Shahnaz in kind out of respect and admiration for his king.
Later, Dr. Shakoori moved to the United States of America, became one of the few female surgeons at that time and brought her mother and four sisters to join her in New York City. Years after in 1979, the last Shah was overthrown as a result of the revolution perhaps for changing the Islamic Calendar from a focus on the prophet Mohammed, to an Imperial one with attention to Cyrus the Great the father of ancient Persia. By hosting lavish festivals at Persepolis such as the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the Iranian Monarchy, similar to the ones hosted by Darius the Great in Zoroastrian tradition, on the first day of Spring, of the solar year March 21st for the Persian New Year, known as "Norooz" (which is also Dr.Shakoori's mother's birthday), he seemed to add to his disfavor with his people forcing him to eventually flee to Egypt where he died in 1980. After some time in Iran, Colonel Shakoori eventually passed as well.
In New York City Dr. Shakoori married an Italian man, Dominick Piétrolungo and named her only son Percia out of affection for her country. He was born "Shahzadeh" a Prince of Persia in America as a great grandson of Mozaffar Al-Din Shah Qajar, King of Kings and Sultan of Persia from 1853 to 1907 …

|Big Ed Fights Back Against For-Profit Colleges
|Who Lost Delphi?
by Christopher Chantrill
October 09, 2005 at 1:13 pm
THE CONSERVATIVE argument over the nomination of Harriet Miers to be associate justice on the Supreme Court is just like the Allied argument in the fall of 1944.
After the breakout from Normandy the British General Montgomery wanted to end the war by getting his Army Group 21 into Germany first with a bold left hook through the Low Countries. The American General Patton had the same idea. He wanted to end the war by getting his Third Army into Germany first with a bold right hook across the Rhine. But their boss, General Eisenhower, chose to advance towards Germany on a broad front, and rejected the high-risk plans of his subordinates. Ever since, military experts have criticized Ike for his timidity and lack of imagination.
In the Supreme Court battle, its the hot-shot Federalist Special Forces that want to assault the vital liberal citadel, the Supreme Court, in a daring coup de main. But President Bush has decided against such a risky scheme. He has chosen the Eisenhower strategy, and nominated Harriet Miers to the court. The Special Forces guys are fit to be tied.
But how smart is the ruthless coup de main strategy? Citadels cannot be successfully held or defended unless you have infantry all around them. That was the lesson of the Belgian fortresses in 1914, and the same lesson applies to the Supreme Court in 2005. Republican presidents have successfully infiltrated conservatives into the court time and again. But because conservatives on the court are surrounded by a liberal legal culture they find it very difficult to hold out against the endless siege of liberal opinion. Most of them give up.
The conservative raiding strategy for the Supreme Court is not a strategy, it is a tactic. The only way to achieve a conservative court for the long term is to change the legal culture of the United States. That, of course, is a much bigger, and much harder task than the decisive tactics of the coup de main. It requires conservatives to win the argument of ideas not just in economic policy and in national politics, but in the moral-cultural sector as well. It is with the moral-cultural sector that conservatives have their big problem.
F.S.C. Northrop pointed out 50 years ago that Anglo-Americans are fighting the battle of ideas with the seventeenth-century ideas of Locke and the eighteenth-century ideas of Burke while our opponents are fighting with the cultural ideas of the twentieth century, the precipitate of two hundred years of German philosophy. Look at the great cultural edifices of the present era. Compulsory education comes from Prussia. The research university comes from Prussia. Social insurance and pay-as-you-go pensions come from Imperial Germany. Modern science comes from Kants idea that we cant know things-in-themselves, only appearances. Modern psychology? Its German.
All these themes come together in the central article of liberal faith that a creative life is a Life, while a life of creating children is a cop-out.
This revolutionary program also took on the noble project of Anglo-American constitutionalism and irradiated it with postmodernism, an invention of French poseurs, its true, but founded on German ideas. Middle-class constitutional democracy wasnt about the rule of law or a high-minded separation of powers, they said, it was a cunning bid for power. All knowledge was a narrative of power, an apology for the ruling elite and its shameful path to power.
Conservatives think that all this is ridiculousa politically correct fantasy that no sensible person would consider for a moment. The trouble is that sensible people do believe it. Not only do they believe it, they proselytize it throughout the culture: in the government schools, in the elite universities, and above all in entertainment and the arts. Conservatives cannot easily hold the Supreme Court until they conquer and hold the cultural territory around it.
Conservatives must master the German canon. Then we can use the liberals weapons against them. Could it be, we could ask as conservative postmodernists, that the whole liberal narrative of the last centurythe noble government programs for education, health, pensions, environment, even perhaps civil rightsamounts to nothing but a crude apology for power?
Conservatives will be able to dominate the Supreme Court when and only when we have cured liberals of their cultural confidence.
To do this, we need a conservatism rooted not just in the ideas of the founders, but expert in the ideas of the German tradition, the ideas that were used to marginalize us over the century of socialism from 1850 to 1970 and in the culture to this very day. Then we will win the culture war not in bloody confirmation battles in the United States Senate but in the way recommended by the great masters of strategyby defeating our adversaries without even the need for battle.

The incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness...
But to make a man act [he must have]
the expectation that purposeful behavior has the power to remove
or at least to alleviate the felt uneasiness.
Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
But I saw a man yesterday who knows a fellow who had it from a chappie
that said that Urquhart had been dipping himself a bit recklessly off the deep end.
Freddy Arbuthnot
Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison
At first, we thought [the power of the West] was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity.
David Aikman, Jesus in Beijing
[In the] higher Christian churches... they saunter through the liturgy like Mohawks along a string of scaffolding who have long since forgotten their danger. If God were to blast such a service to bits, the congregation would be, I believe, genuinely shocked. But in the low churches you expect it every minute.
Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
Civil Societya complex welter of intermediate institutions, including businesses, voluntary associations, educational institutions, clubs, unions, media, charities, and churchesbuilds, in turn, on the family, the primary instrument by which people are socialized into their culture and given the skills that allow them to live in broader society and through which the values and knowledge of that society are transmitted across the generations.
Francis Fukuyama, Trust
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.
Freeman Dyson, The Scientist as Rebel
Conservatism is the philosophy of society. Its ethic is fraternity and its characteristic is authority the non-coercive social persuasion which operates in a family or a community. It says we should....
Danny Kruger, On Fraternity
What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.
Minette Marrin, The Daily Telegraph
When we received Christ, Phil added, all of a sudden we now had a rule book to go by, and when we had problems the preacher was right there to give us the answers.
James M. Ault, Jr., Spirit and Flesh
I mean three systems in one: a predominantly market economy; a polity respectful of the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and a system of cultural institutions moved by ideals of liberty and justice for all.
In short, three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
There was nothing new about the Frankish drive to the east... [let] us recall that the continuance of their rule depended upon regular, successful, predatory warfare.
Richard Fletcher, The Barbarian Conversion
We have met with families in which for weeks together, not an article of sustenance but potatoes had been used; yet for every child the hard-earned sum was provided to send them to school.

Ivano Bellini
Ivano Bellini is one of the most popular DJs in the city, as well as an occasional producer and remixer for South Beach imprint SFP Records, a label he runs with Marc Sacheli and another local DJ, Pierre Zonzon. Miami Afterhours is a good example of the sets he spins every week at Space and other nightclubs. The fourteen tracks he uses are deep yet energetic, pushing his mix forward into a dark, rhythmic unknown.
Miami Afterhours opens with Bellini's bizarrely funny track "Deep in It," on which Navarone leers out a tale of a freaky space man descending on a disco "where all the women are drinking and dancing and grooving." He keeps up the pace with Porno's "Music Power" before dropping into Tantamanna's "Talking," a hypnotic house cut inspired by Donna Summer's "I Feel Love." Most of the records he uses are pure instrumental tracks, with only repetitive vocal hooks to adorn them, the better to encourage movement on the dance floor. A notable exception is "Seattle 2045 (Rave Dogs remix)," an apocalyptic, rock-house hybrid by Rave Dogs' Fire.
On the eighth cut, however, Bellini locks into the patterned grooves of Zoot Woman's "Grey Day (Jacques Lucont remix)" and stays there, allowing the mix to grow dangerously tedious. In a nightclub, this might encourage dancers to lose themselves in the sound, moving as if in a trance, but on a CD, it gets boring after a while. A more consistent collection of songs would have made Miami Afterhours a better listening experience. For now, it resembles Bellini's club performances to a fault.

I love this type of girls <3
There are doujins out because the game was originally for the Dreamcast, quite a few years ago. I'm not saying the doujins are new, but the re-release of the game may have triggered some scans or new doujins.
This was translated, literally, months ago by sirC.

Hahah, Nagato + Boob Job = Epic Fail.
Lol, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! 😀
U and me both brother….
That's one very naughty sister, but can't help but like it and the title works well… -_-
sluts are annoying
two thing's:
1. Great doujin better if Translated
2. I've been looking for more D.gray-man doujin and found some 1 day got happy only to find that most where allenxkanda which made me super sad
Nice, Extreme Climax Hot!
would it kill you guys to just say tit-fucking? I had to look up what paizuri means only to find out its Japanese for titfuck.
"How did you know they wouldn't work?" "I fell for it too…" XD LOL

Oh hey, I didn't see you there. :3
Who am I? I am MikeyJC. I'm just a guy who plays too many video games for his own good - or anyone else's, for that matter.
I started actively watching anime about 2 and a half years ago when I discovered Touhou for the first (technically second) time. The first anime I started - and finished - watching was Lucky Star and I've broadened my horizons somewhat. I still love Lucky Star though. (go Tsukasa yay woo etc.)
Contrary to my profile, I do read plenty of manga. It's just that it's doujin works for Touhou translated by the fine folks over at Gensokyo.org.
I can't think of anything else to put down. Oh, I should say that Jimadybobalon was the dood who introduced me to this place. He's the president(?) of the Japanese Society at our university, so yeah. =D
763 total episodes
Aw, c'mon. Sure, it's mahou shojou and you're a guy, but Tokyo Mew Mew is worth more than 1.5!
I am disappoint >:( You set Tokyo Godfathers as Won't Watch. It is an amazing film and you should watch it and judge it for yourself rather than saying you'll never watch it based on the description which doesn't and can't do it justice :/
Baka baka! x3
Dude, Excel Saga is one of my fave animes. If I can handle that sorta silliness I figure I can handle just about anything XD
That 'Combat Butler' anime does sound good xD I added it to my 'want to watch' list as well!

If you ask me, I think this business of celebrities being paid to plug items on Twitter, as in Elizabeth Hurley and "salivating over my new @EsteeLauder goodies!", or celebrities plugging items they've apparently received cheap or for free in the hope they'll receive them again, like Victoria Beckham and "obsessed with my new white @ManoloBlahniks!" is disgusting and outrageous.
I know, I know, plenty of journalists try it on – "I'd love to see @BookofMormon"; "Does anyone know if @VirginAtlantic do upgrades?" – and I consider that revolting too. Where is your pride, I would ask such people. Your dignity? Your honour? Have you no sense of shame?
I would never stoop so low. Never. Ever. For example, I think @PimmsGB is actually a very refreshing and pleasant drink, particularly on a hot day, but would never tweet as much in the hope I'd be sent a free case, just as I would never tweet, say, that @JoMaloneLondon make the loveliest candles and scents or that the best mascaras are by @Clarins_UK or possibly or @Clinique_UK or possibly @BobbiBrown or possibly, even, @EsteeLauder. It's so hard to remember! However, I do know it isn't @AnyaHindmarch, because she only makes the sort of gorgeous handbags that, I've heard, may be costly, but will last a lifetime and can prove a sound investment.
So, don't look to me, for the best way to blag free stuff on Twitter. I just can't do it. It is not in my nature. In fact, the other night I did, as it happens, enjoy a fantastic meal at @QualityChop but afterwards, did I tweet: "Great meal at @QualityChop" to give them the opportunity to reply with: "Hey, @deborahross, why not come back do it all over again on us!" I did not, and would not. And, further, were I to dine, for example, at @TheDelaunayRest, which I've yet to do, and which is said to be fab, I would not behave in that way either.
Too much pride, I suppose. And I like to think I've brought my son up to think similarly; that if you want something in life you work, you earn money, you pay for it. I have just questioned him about this, actually, and he says if he needed new trainers, which he does, it's not like he'd alert @NikeUK to inform them he is size nine and doesn't like the bright colours so much and that it would save his mother the expense and anything will do, so long as it's Air Max 1. No way! So, I ask again: Who are these people? And how can they be so craven? How, how, how?

Lands' End once again is seeking a path out of the retail wilderness, and I'm hoping it makes it.
It's not that the company, which last week hired a new chief executive, is particularly essential to the retail landscape. But it would be nice to think that well-established businesses that have had a few hard knocks can nevertheless find their place in a world where any dot-com is a player.

Ernie refuses to wear kitten mittens, so this is her solution.
A Chicago-area cat named Ernie has had to rely on extreme measures to stay warm. With temperatures in the single digits for weeks, the kitty's fur coat just wasn't enough to beat the chill.
"Ernie has been living in Chicago all her life, so you'd think she'd be used to the cold," said Joshua Garrett, a friend of Ernie's. "But once that Polar Vortex slid down into the U.S. and the temps fell below zero, she was walking around the house whining about the cold, non-stop."
Garrett suggested kitten mittens for Ernie, but she refused.
"So instead of wearing clothes like a normal person, she hugs the radiator all day," he said. "Whatever. Cats are weird."
Via BigIceberg.
Horrible human left cat to die in polar vortex, but Craigslist saved it
There's a scene in the new Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis where our frumpy folk hero Llewyn finds himself stranded on the side of a highway with his guitar and cat. Certain he won't be able to hitch a ride if he brings along his fuzzy, marmalade companion, Davis makes a tough call: He leaves the cat behind to face an uncertain, wintery doom in a broken-down car with a heroin-addled jazz aficionado.

Tight groups!
January 18, 2017
I tried about 6 different pellets out of my Gamo Bone Collector Maxxim and wow, quite a difference noticed with the first group. My rifle isn't even broke in yet (maybe 200 shots) and I'm holding quarter sized groups at 25 yards. The squirrels raiding my bird feeders are in serious trouble. I tried Crosman Premiers and a few RWS pellets along with the Gamos that came with the gun but these are by far the best. I see no reason to switch. A little bit pricey but try it you'll like 'em!
Pros:Accuracy is great. Clean pellets.

JSB 10.34 Diabolo Exact Heavy
August 23, 2016
This is the pellet I have come to rely on. It shoots good in all my air guns. It is consistent and accurate. There is no point in searching for more accuracy (for me).
Pros:Consistency & accuracy.
Cons:Price and could use a threaded lid.

JSB .177 Exact Heavy Diabolo
July 31, 2016
JSB's will never disappoint. These .177 heavies have made my Crosman Quest 1000 come alive. I was using Crosman Premiers and I didn't realize what a superior pellet like JSB's could do. One inch 5 shot groups benched at 30 yards. An occasional flyer I blame on myself. You can trust JSB's in any caliber.
Pros:Extremely accurate and consistent. Worth the extra money.

Very Accurate and Powerful!
February 12, 2016
So far i have shot the .177 Diabolo Exact Heavy through two of my airguns, and I have been very impressed with both results so far. My first airgun I tested was my Hammerli 850 Air Magnum equipped with a 3-9x40 BSA Sweet .22 Scope. The weather was windy and around 49 to 50 degrees F so the co2 pressure may have been lower than optimal. Regardless these pellets out performed anything I have shot so far! 1 1/4 inch groups off a wobbly table in the very wind conditions at 30+ Yards! The second gun I tested was Sig Sauer p226 pistol. This pistol is very inaccurate with off the shelf pellets but the accuracy changed quickly after swapping over to the JSB pellets! The impact power of these pellets down range at 30 Yards is easily flipping over and resetting my Do-All-Outdoors Auto Reset Target. This is something I could not achieve at 18 yards with 7.9 grain pellets (using the hammerli). I will update my review with further testing in ideal conditions and with my Umarex Octane, Gamo PT85, Hammerli 850, and Sig Sauer p226!
Pros:Power. Accuracy. Consistency. I included my grouping shot on a 8" shoot N-C target shot with my co2 powered Hammerli 850 Air Magnum *WINDY, Wobbly Table, and Cold*
Cons:None. You get what you pay for!

June 29, 2015
these pellets are absolutely the most accurate in my Marauder,one ragged hole at 25yds and just over an inch and a half at 50yds(10 shot groups).Varmints don't have a chance at my house anymore!
Pros:extremely accurate and hit hard to dispatch vermin quick

Another accurate pellet by JSB
December 16, 2014
Had great accuracy with their .25 cal. pellets so I bought these when I purchased my .177 cal. rifles. I was not disappointed with the performance. They shoot very well out of my Marauder and easily group under 1/2" at 20-25 yds. JSB pellets seem to be the standard used to judge other brands of pellets and are usually the most accurate pellet in most airguns.
Pros:Consistent and accurate.

Shoots very well in a Gamo Bull whisper bone collector (or at least in mine) I was a bit rushed today with over 30 types of pellets to test and I feel I pulled off just a bit and could do better than the 3/4 inch group I was able to get at 25 yards. and remarkable centered on my zero which was done with a lighter 8 something grain pellet (Gamo Hunter) Can't wait to see how these perform in longer range testing.
Pros:well made obviously very concentric. Not too bad a price shot excellent in my rifle.

Accurate and Powerful
May 16, 2014
I tested 9 different pellets in my RWS 850, these performed the best. They are accurate out to 50 yards and the wind and rain does not effect there flight path hardly at all. They have about a 1/2" group at 25 yards and a 3/4" group at 30 yards. I also did a penetration test with these pellets, they have good penetration but still good expansion for hunting. I shot some starlings and they drop immediately. The cycling of my bolt is so smooth with these pellets it is almost hard to believe.
Pros:Very Accurate Good Penetration Good expansion Very good stability under extreme conditions

Great Heavy Pellet
December 31, 2013
Great for slowing down magnum air guns. Accurate out of most my rifles, the best in my Umarex Surge.
Pros:These and the Air Arms field heavy's appear to be almost the same pellet, both very accurate.
Cons:Sometimes hard to find.

I might have some additional information for your list of Mills County ghost towns. The entry for Ingraham says the location is not found. There's a census page for Ingraham in 1860 that says the Post Office is Glenwood, and the google map of Glenwood has an Ingrum Ave heading SE out of the town.

Warren (Lee County)
My great grandfather John Russell had a store in Warren (Lee County) Iowa. (Russell Brothers Store) It closed in 1904, but the building and house attached remained until the 1940-50 era. Currently there is nothing there except a cemetery where my relatives are buried. I have a period drawing of the original store and a photograph of the store with house attached in what must have been its glory days. (Also much memorobilia of the store) The land and contents of the store and house were sold at auction by the family including my father Earl Russell. I am always looking for a post card with a Warren postmark.

Fruit And Nut Pinwheels
|All purpose flour
|1 3⁄4 Cup (28 tbs), divided (Use 1 1/2 Cups Plus 3 Tablespoons)
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Reduced-calorie margarine
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs) (From A Tub)
|Plain low-fat yogurt
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|2 Tablespoon (Use As Required)
|Dark raisins
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), chopped
|Sliced almonds
|2 Ounce
|Reduced calorie orange marmalade
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (About 16 Calories Per 2 Teaspoons)
|1 1⁄3 Tablespoon (Use 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon)
1. In medium mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt; using pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yogurt and mix thoroughly, adding water by teaspoonfuls, if necessary, to form a dough. Form dough into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. In small mixing bowl combine raisins, almonds, and marmalade; stir to combine.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Using remaining flour to prevent dough from sticking to work surface, roll dough into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread raisin mixture over rectangle. Starting from one of the wide sides, roll dough jelly-roll fashion to enclose filling and press seam to seal.
4. Using a serrated knife, cut roll crosswise into 16 equal slices. Spray nonstick baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place slices cut-side down on sheet. Bake in middle of center oven rack until golden, about 18 minutes.
5. Immediately drizzle 1/4 teaspoon honey over each pinwheel. Remove to wire rack and let cool.

I would say sayla, she had a big part in msg but nothing after that (granted its because of her voice actor but still), Johnny raiden (sp?) was another one as well, excellent pilot but little development besides that he shot down over 180 enemy units in the last battle of the oyw.

Just as most people like Darth Vader better then Skywalker. The evil/bad guy is almost always more popular, wonder why, maybe because we are all evil deep down inside?
But back to the topic, no I don't think Amuro is under rated, his name is just as well known as Char's and both are synonymous with the gundam series. No one can really call themself a gundam enthuaist if they don't at least know who those two are.
as for Johnny raiden, no I remmber the narrator saying that he shot down over 100+ units during that last great battle, they don't have to be MS, the federation has plenty of public and ball units who's only offensive ability is a few canons and the pilots balls. (that did not sound right) it doesn't take much to shoot those down.

I My Me Strawberry Eggs
Bright Noa (Gundam series)-
Captain Bright Noa from Mobile Suit Z Gundam and ZZ Gundam. He's very cool an reserved as a captain. cooler than any captain I've seen in Gundam. Remember that Noa ordered that a colony full of civilians and children be destroyed despite Judau's objections in a ZZ gundam episode?
Like any soldier, he understands sometimes that sacrifices must be made in order to achieve goals. He knows that civilians would die but he realizes that the ends justify the means.
He's willing to make decisions, take responsibility and be prepared for the consequences. He acted in an usually professional way. He hardly tolerates rule-breakers, especially children although he understands their actions. However, he takes matters serously and disciplines troublemakers when necessary.
For example, Noa slapped his son Hathaway for being rash in Char's Counterattack. Way to go, Bright. He also had Camille or Judau isolated in a cell to discipline them.

I think Cima Garahau is pretty underrated for a pilot as well...I mean, sure the time she beat Kou was mainly because of his brashness in taking out an incomplete GP01 (since he lacked the Full Vernian parts), but I'm sure, even then, she would've been good enough (at the time) to defeat him. Hell, if it weren't for Burning flying in at the last second, there probably wouldn't even be a GP01 left over to upgrade or a Kou to pilot the GP03, lol.
Chara Soon is a pretty rarely named pilot. Piloting one of the most powerful, intended-to-be Mass Production MS and taking out all the remaining Mass Production Qubeley's piloted by Pie Two clones all by herself after fighting the previous Mass Production Qubeley's and the Quin Mantha and Doven Wolf MS.
Mashymre Cello is defiitely underrated...I mean...were it not for the interference of the Doven Wolf mobile suits, he probably could have potentially defeated Pie Two in the Quin Mantha all by himself...in a less powerful Zaku III Custom, no less. I mean, he DID manage to slice its chest and avoid most of its attacks and even Pie Two was shocked, saying that he wasn't normal.
I think I said it before, but Haman Karn. I mean...using the exact same Qubeley, she managed to overcome or at least match almost every opponent she ever faced. Hyaku Shiki, Palace Athena, Bolinoak Sammahn, The O, Zeta and Double Zeta Gundam. Even heavily damaging the ZZ Gundam before dying. By then, I think it'd be safe to say that the original Qubeley would be pretty outdated. But even so, taking the full force of the ZZ's high mega cannon and only having a few broken areas and a missing shoulder is no small feat at all.
Elle Vianno and Roux Rouka are both pretty underrated in terms of piloting. I mean, even piloting something as SEVERELY outdated as the Gundam Mark II (even worse off in ZZ since it didn't have the G-Defenser), Elle managed to fight quite well after a few episodes and managed to last until the very end. (and, surprisingly, it wasn't as trashed) Roux, already being an, presumably, experienced pilot, managing to pilot the Zeta Gundam quite well throughout the war and even managing to perform pretty well in the Double Zeta those few times she used it.

Seabook Arno - Probably about 10% of the people here know about him (at most) or would even bother comparing him to any of the better known pilots.
Dearka - Being reduced to using a grunt level suit in GSD. No idea if he ever got back up there.

Tolle from Gundam Seed, man this guy was a 15 year old natural who never piloted before and he did a great job. But now no body remembers him....
Appolli and Roberto, cool pilots that are remnants of Zeon and loyal to Char and AEUG. But overshadowed...they're better than Emma Sheen for sure.

Nintendo's TVii a replacement for the remote
Nintendo's launches TVii, which can replace the remote
Nintendo is switching on a television service that transforms the tablet-like controller for its new Wii U game console into a remote that changes the channel on your TV and puts programs from the Internet just a few finger taps away.
The TVii service debuts today in the U.S. and Canada. That's a delay from previous plans to have the service available when the game console went on sale in North America on Nov. 18. The TVii service launched in Japan on Dec. 8.
The aim of TVii is to bring order to the hundreds of channels on regular TV and the thousands of shows and movies available through apps from Netflix, Amazon.com, Hulu Plus and Google's YouTube.
Nintendo's Wii U console has a unique controller — the GamePad, which is covered with joysticks and buttons and boasts a front-facing camera and 6.2-inch touch screen. The GamePad also houses an infrared emitter that talks directly to your TV or set-top box.
TVii scans what's available and offers you the option of watching a show, sports event or movie on live TV or through apps that connect to the Internet. By the end of March, Nintendo says that it will integrate TVii with TiVo so that it will be possible to program a TiVo digital video recorder through the game console as well.
"This is a way to get every member of the household to pick up the GamePad hopefully every day," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. "Hopefully this leads to a significant change in how consumers view and interact with their TV."
