Mushishi is an absolute masterpeice. It's a fantasy/drama unlike any you'll ever find, and it's my favorite anime.
Each episode tells a different story. I thought I would be bothered by this, but I wasn't. This adaptation is very faithful to the source material.
Mushishi evokes many different emotions while viewing it. Some episodes may have a really nice ending, while others can be really sad. The beautiful background music amplifies these effects.
The music is very serene. Listening to the OST, something I do everyday, is the best way to relieve stress. It really works wonders for the anime, especially when considering the quality of animation maintained throughout all 26 episodes.
I have yet to see an anime series animated as beautifully as Mushishi is. Everything was so well done, you can tell they spent a lot of time translating this from the manga. The Mushi are reminiscent of the creatures you would find in a Hayao Miyazaki film, the Kodoma of Princess Mononoke perhaps. They have a certain magical aura, a mystifying presence, that makes you want to see more and more of them.
I suggest you buy the DVDs, which come in a very nice package with lots of extras. This is an anime which should be seen by anyone who enjoys anime. 10/10
Bebop is one of the best animes of all time. Loaded with action, comedy, drama, romance, all in a sci-fi setting; it is a classic. Best english dub ever... I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode in Japanese.
Memorable characters. Spike is my favorite anime character of all time; my Spike Spiegel Messenger Bag might just be one of the best purchases I've ever made.
Awesome music. I listen to the soundtrack every single day. The jazz is amazing, as only Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts could make such a spectacle. It's the main reason for my favorite radio station being CD101.9
Do I need to say more? Cowboy Bebop. . . You're missing out if you haven't already seen i. 10/10
Monster is an anime that delves into the human mind. It causes us to question our own beliefs. Why do bad things have to happen to good people, people who have such good intentions? This is a question you will think about a lot throughout the series.
Monster tells the story of an innocent doctor who is trying to find the person who ruined his life, while at the same time, being chased by an obsessed detective. The beliefs of certain characters in this anime are very deranged, and show how ugly humans can be. The anime does a very good job at portraying this, mainly through the use of facial expressions.
The style in which the story is carried out is certainly effective in gaining the attention of the viewers. The story starts off at a fairly slow pace. As you continue to watch, however, you'll find yourself being drawn in by it. Monster is the kind of series where you just have to know what happens next. There are 74 episodes, but I'm already halfway through and there really hasn't been a boring moment yet. You will see many different characters, and at first, their connection to the story may be unknown. Then, out of nowhere, they might run into one of the main characters. There are also times when the main focus will switch between the main characters, allowing you to get a glimpse as to what the others have been up to.
All of the characters are well developed, and you really learn a lot about them, even the ones who only appear for a short period of time. The background of a few characters, including the villain, are mostly unknown. This is another way in which Monster grabs your attention. You are learning at practically same pace as the main characters, and whenever they discover something, you share the same expression as they do.
Despite the number of episodes, none of them are filler; in fact, this anime is one of the few in which every scene is taken directly from the manga. The music fits the anime very well, but it isn't all that memorable for the most part. The ending is pretty creepy, but that's a good thing considering the nature of the anime. I like the opening a lot, especially the choir part at the beginning, mostly because it reminds me of Death Note. (In fact, if I could make a comparison between this and another anime, I would say it is like Death Note without the supernatural powers.) The animation isn't anything special, and the character design may take some time getting used to it, but the story is where this anime truly shines. Monster has already taken its place as one of my favorite anime. 10/10
GTO is one of the funniest and most touching anime I've ever seen. Onizuka is one of my favorite anime characters. He may be a pervert, but he has a big heart and it shows in every episode as he shows his students how to enjoy school again (even though they are all trying to bring him down). We get to know a lot about the students in his class over the course of the anime. As each of their problems are solved, there is a visible change in their attitude. There are just enough episodes for us to get to know and care about all of them. The only thing that felt out of place was the ending, but I'll get back to that later.
The music which is played matches the scene greatly and definitely helps a lot. Onizukas' theme is one of my favorite anime songs. Every time I hear it, I can't help but smile.
The animation is pretty good, considering it was made in 1999. I especially liked all the funny faces Onizuka makes.
It's a shame that it had to end the way it did, but the anime ended before the manga did, so I can forgive them. There is no better thing to do than watch it again since you will be wanting more. That is why Great Teacher Onizuka deserves a 10/10 and its spot as one of my top 5 anime.
Although it ended early (the manga was never finished), this is definitely worth watching.
If you sit through the first couple of episodes you will be surprised. What seems like a typical story at first turns out to be far from typical.
I thought it was going to be another one of those magical girl animes where the main character, in this case Yoko, is an annoying high school girl that can't do anything on her own. Weak and useless, the kind of character you can't stand, at least I couldn't. I was about to stop watching, but . . .
Boy was I glad I didn't. I don't want to give away too much, but this series has some of the best character development I've ever seen in anime. Simply put, by the end of the first arc, Yoko was a completely different person.
Juuni Kokki has such an amazing story, once you really get into it, it's very hard to stop watching. Each episode seems to end at such a weird place, it forces you to jump right to the next episode. The way they decided to do this, it would seem unnatural. You normally wouldn't end an episode while in the middle of explaining something. However, in The Twelve Kingdoms, this very unique idea actually works in favor of the anime.
I feel that it deserves a five star rating, despite the fact that it was left unfinished. After all, Juuni Kokki has already taken its place as one of the best animes I've ever seen. 10/10
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is one of the best anime of 2007. It has an amazing story, and is very well done. The episodes are action packed. The style of animation is the same as FLCL, since it was done by the same people, and it is incredible. The music fits the anime very well. The opening is very catchy, and I found that I could pretty much sing along after hearing it so many times.
This is an action anime, though it is filled with lots of drama. You will fall in love with the characters. There is so much chemistry among them, it makes it so much fun to watch. The emotion is there, all of the characters go through so much, it is practically visible. This is a series which will make you laugh, then cry, and then laugh again. It will amaze you. When you think they can't make it any bigger or better, they go and blow you away again. There is NO other anime that has so many episodes of such a nature. Gurren-Lagann is an epic anime that is sure to be a classic. 9/10
Princess Mononoke. Another classic from Hayao Miyazaki.
Before watching this, the only other Miyazaki film I had seen was Spirited Away. That was my favorite anime at the time. After watching Mononoke, I found a new favorite.
I think the english dub of the film is one of the better ones out there. Their choices for voice actors and actresses were good for the film.
The animation was superb, as was the music. The strength of Mononoke lies in the story. I really felt connected to the characters. When Ashitaka was searching for San, I felt the sense of urgency with which he was running. I was practically jumping up and down while rooting for him to reach her.
The ending was definitely different from Miyazaki's other films, but then again, I feel that you have to look at this film differently. It was something you would not expect and I feel it is a good thing.
Princess Mononoke is definitely one of my top five anime of all time, and my favorite anime film. If only they can give it a Disney release like they did Miyazaki's other film. 10/10
Spirited Away was one of my first anime. I remember my mom came home from the movie store with it one day. It was a pleasant surprise for me to find that such a film exists. After it ended I said to myself, this isn't like any other animated films I had ever seen before . . . and then I watched it a second time.
Visually, I believe this is Hayao Miyazaki's best film. Everything is a joy to look at. The soundtrack of Spirited Away is one of my favorite anime soundtracks. This is one of the many strengths of the film. I feel that this is the best of Joe Hisaishi's works as well.
When the soundtrack and visuals come together, it makes all the little things in the film so much more special. The scene where Chihiro is on the train with No Face is one of my favorite scenes in the film. Something this simple can be so great only because of the connection between audio and animation.
Some people have said the story was confusing. For me, it was not all that hard to follow. Maybe that comes from having seen it so many times.
Spirited Away is a strange and unique anime that absolutely blew me away. The kind of film you can watch over and over again. It sparked my interest in anime and the works of Hayao Miyazaki. I cannot praise this film enough. 9.25/10
Baccano! is an anime that very few people have been talking about, which is a shame since it is so good. Film noir and pulp fiction . . . in an anime?! When I read this description, before it even aired, I knew it was a must see for me.
Having seen the movie Pulp Fiction, I knew, to some extent, what to expect in terms of how the story is told. If you aren't familiar with the film, then allow me to explain. This is the kind of anime that you can start watching without having any idea as to what it is about. The reason being you truly don't know what is going on until around the halfway point in the series.
All you need to know is that Baccano! is a violent, action packed, comical drama involving immortal alchemists and the mafia (I hear people saying . . . what?). There is no question that you will be confused for quite some time, but you should stick with it since everything does become clearer as the story progresses. As for the ending, I thought it was very well done and everything came together nicely.
The music they chose for Baccano! is superb. A collection of jazz tunes that immerses you in the time period of the anime. The opening song quickly became one of my all time favorites. You can see from the OP that there is a large number of characters. With every episode more and more is revealed about them through the use of multiple time jumps/flashbacks, and you can see in which way they are all connected. Each character has a unique personality and a story of their own. In the end, you will be wishing that you had more time to spend with them. They are truly unforgettable.
Baccano! was one of the best, most entertaining anime of 2007. The only thing left for me to say is that I really wish this was more talked about. 9/10
I found this movie to be very touching. It is best watched after episode 63, the end of the soul society rescue arc.
The first thing you will notice is that it feels like a movie, and not just because of the beautiful animation. When someone is sent to soul society in the series, most of the time it feels routine; just something they always do. In the first scene, however, everything is different. I was completely moved. The main reason for this was the way they cut into the title screen. As I watched the girls' spirit rise through the air, they began playing an original theme song. I always say that anything can be enjoyed more when you feel the connection between audio and animation. From the moment I heard that song, I knew this film was one to be remembered.
I liked how you get to see all the characters from the series again, most of whom were not seen after the end of the soul society rescue arc (Kenpachis' entrance is just awesome). Although most of them do not get much screen time, it is not a problem. The focus of the movie is on Ichigo, a shinigami named Senna, and these mysterious white figures. It does a good job providing us with the background of Senna. We get just enough information to keep us curious. The villains are somewhat typical, but I do not want to spoil anything. It is for this reason that this gets a 9
Bleach: Memories of Nobody is an unexpected treat that is very enjoyable, and does the series a great justice. An overall amazing movie. 9/10
After reading some other reviews, I became interested in Kurau Phantom Memory. I believe someone said it was like The Fugitive, and that's one of my favorite movies. Monster is closer to that movie than this is. The plot is interesting, the quality of animation is good, and the main characters, Kurau and Christmas, provide us with some very feel good moments. Their relationship, as well as the relationship between the other characters, is displayed extremely well.
The rest of the acting, and the dialogue for the show is horrible. Everything is so over dramatic. Especially the dad. That sound he makes when he's upset . . . it's just so annoying. If it weren't for that, this may have been more enjoyable. We understand how they feel for each other, we don't need a scene with them saying goodbye to each other for what seems like five minutes. It annoys me that such an interesting show is marred by something that shouldn't even be a problem. I watched up to episode 15 so far, and right now, I'm not sure as to whether or not I really want to finish this one. Kurau Phantom Memory gets an extra point for its good visuals and portrayal of a strong sisterly bond. 8/10
Blood+. It has been a while since I saw it but now, after all this time, I feel I can really reflect on it. It's your typical vampire story with a twist. The beginning was extremely interesting, but after a while, it just got kinda boring, and in the end, I felt as if I had wasted a lot of my time. It could have ended a lot earlier instead of making it 50 episodes.
The emphasis is more on the characters than the action, and all the fights are pretty much the same. Nothing that would really amaze me. This would have been alright if it weren't for the fact that most of the characters were just annoying. I really couldn't stand Kai, especially considering how his relationship with Mao turned out. Saya was still unlikeable even after she seemed to have matured after the one year time skip. I really didn't enjoy Blood+. It had an interesting story, but it was brought down by poor execution and direction. 7/10

Musicians are Brand's New Directors: Are the Deals Working?
By Andrew Hampp
In the pre-social media age, a brand naming a celebrity "creative director" was a largely superficial process that rarely drove results. But a new trove of deals is seeing musicians sharing in the risks of product development and financial stability in an increasingly long line of creative partnerships.
In the past two weeks alone, deals have included Alicia Keys and BlackBerry, Justin Timberlake and Bud Light Platinum, Taylor Swift and Diet Coke, and Swizz Beatz and Monster International. But those are just four in an even longer list of similar deals in the last year-and-a-half, including Beyonce and Pepsi, Jay-Z with Duracell and Anheuser-Busch, Swift and Keds, and Will.i.am and Intel.
Why the new influx? Not only are musicians the most-followed personalities on Facebook and Twitter and therefore more accessible than an actor or athlete, they're newly incentivized to work on behalf of brands by being offered equity or even royalties for a product's success.
"The beauty in a deal where you have a creative director is you can be creative with the dealmaking," says Todd Jacobs, a music-branding agent at William Morris Endeavor. "It feels like there's more of a mutual benefit versus a work-for-hire mentality if two parties go into it with that partnership mentality. It gives the artist so many opportunities other than compensation."
But what does being a celebrity creative director really mean, and what are the risks at stake? After all, for every Beats by Dr. Dre, an entire electronics enterprise successfully built on the backing of a musician, there's Polaroid's pact with Lady Gaga, which fell apart in 2011. The latter deal, announced through a splashy appearance from Gaga at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, collapsed not long after Gaga reappeared at the following CES to unveil products like camera glasses. That's because the financially unstable Polaroid, which had filed for bankruptcy protection just three years prior, was unable to meet the financial overhead such an ambitious undertaking demanded, and scrapped the product line entirely.
The case of Gaga was a seemingly rare but actually all-too-common instance of a company failing to deliver on its end of these new deals, placing too much of its stock in a celebrity and not enough on its own resources. Pharrell Williams just sued liquor giant Diageo earlier this year for $5 million after it allegedly failed to meet distribution agreements. And one of Jermaine Dupri's creative director roles, for soy-based 3 Vodka, eroded for similar reasons in 2009. "They said to me in the beginning, 'It's exciting. You get to be part of a liquor brand,' and at the same time the brand wasn't prepared to be involved with me. That's where the business went sour," Dupri says. "There's a lot of things you have to take into consideration when doing these deals. These companies have to be prepared for the next steps."
Of course, the onus also lies on the celebrity to deliver compelling product ideas-not to mention brand loyalty. On Twitter, much has already been made of Keys' devotion to her iPhone prior to aligning with BlackBerry, not to mention Timberlake's quote to the New York Post in late 2012 that he should always be seen with a Coors Light in his hand. That's where the risk of inauthenticity comes in.
"The perception is that the artist just took a paycheck and didn't go above and beyond-their core responsibility isn't being a creative director," WME's Jacobs says. "The real opportunity becomes when an artist is really evangelical about the brand and they support it with the same vigor and passion that they support their own brand to their fans."

As the big banks unveil bumper profits, they face accusations of milking poorer customers in order to offer better deals to wealthier ones.
This great divide in the current account market between the better off and the poor is most starkly seen through the interest rates on offer for credit balances.
Exclusive analysis from personal finance website Moneyfacts.co.uk exposes the scale of the great divide in interest rates, presenting a damning indictment of some of the UK's most profitable banks.
Take Santander's new Reward current account, which goes on sale on Monday. It boasts an annual interest rate of 4.89 per cent to customers who can deposit £1,000 in the account a month. But for many Britons for whom such a requirement is beyond their means, the interest rate vanishes to zero on the bank's bog-standard current account.
Likewise, Lloyds TSB pays holders of a Gold Plus current account an interest rate of 1.49 per cent on condition that they pay in more than a £1,000 each month, while its Classic Account customers earn a less than classic 0 per cent.
Coventry Building Society offers 1.09 per cent to holders of its First account, which requires again £1,000 to be paid in per month, while members of the Branch Save Manager earn 0.1 per cent.
With the big four banks expected to post collective net profits in excess of £20bn, Jason Stather-Lodge, the managing director of OCM Wealth Management, says the current accounts being offered on condition of a substantial minimum monthly deposit – usually from paid employment – are out of reach of many consumers.
"It will be the elderly who are living on a combination of benefits and state pension and low-income family households – who earn below £25,000 jointly – who are the most affected by these low rates on current accounts," he says.
Consumers are being divided between the haves and have nots in other ways, too. Santander's new current account range differentiates between rich and poor when it comes to the fees they charge. For example, someone paying in more than £1,000 a month and able to access the Reward account will only have to pay £10 when a direct debt is rejected for lack of funds. However, a customer paying in less than £1,000 and being shunted into the bank's Everyday current account will be hit with a £25 fee for the same offence. "There is an element of one rule for one, one for another about this and other bank's policy's in this area," says Kevin Mountford, from comparison service moneysupermarket.com. "The key is that banks see current accounts as the gateway to other financial products such as insurance, investments and mortgages. If they can attract those on average and above salaries then the chances of selling higher value products to these customers is higher," he adds.
If you're one of these consumers struggling to scale the income barriers put up by the big banks then there are ways to beat them at their own game: become a rate tart.
James Brooke, a chartered financial planner at Altior Vita, says: "Switch for the best deal when your existing deal ends. Only when consumers shop around and move accounts regularly to take advantage of the best deals will banks start competing for your business."
Some of the better current accounts for younger people, identified by Moneyfacts, include the Barnsley Building Society Falcon Club account, which offers 1.75 per cent interest to 16 to 23-year-olds and the Halifax/Bank of Scotland Cardcash account, for 16 to 17-year-olds, which offers 1.5 per cent.
Boosting your credit profile
While most people associate a credit profile with borrowing money, a growing number of banks are looking at individual credit profiles when assessing the suitability of a current account and other savings products for customers.
Mr Mountford says boosting a credit profile can also help when it comes to making the most of your savings.
"It is becoming increasingly obvious that banks are structuring products to attract better value customers. This may range from those who are most likely to take out multi-products to those who have the cleanest credit profiles and who, in turn, present the lowest risk.
Checking a record, sticking to limits on credit cards and getting on the electoral roll are all simple ways of boosting a credit ranking, he says.
Use Individual Savings Accounts (ISA)
Whatever current account you use it's unlikely that the rate on offer – which will be liable to tax – will beat the very best individual savings accounts on offer. So instead of leaving cash sitting around in a current account earning a minuscule rate of interest, why not move it into a cash ISA account?
The annual cash ISA allowance is currently £5,200 and £10,200 for stocks and shares ISAs, rising to £10,680 from 6 April 2011. The Nationwide's e-ISA offers an interest rate of 2.90 per cent with a 1.15 per cent bonus fixed until the 31 July 2012 with a minimum investment of £1. Likewise, the Northern Rock e-ISA offers 2.65 per cent interest with a minimum investment of £1.
On stocks and shares ISAs, the potential for more rosy returns is higher, but as with any investment there are risks which should be considered before investing. The ISA-compatible Investec Cautious Managed Fund delivers 32.24 per cent over three years and carries a 0 per cent initial charge and 1.25 per cent annual management charge.
Repay debt
With the average consumer saddled with £10,000 of debt and the average level of interest charged on credit cards far more than the interest paid out on savings accounts, it always makes sense to repay debts first.
According to Mr Brooke recommends wiping out debt before focussing on saving: "Given that many people on low and middle incomes have debts, it makes no sense to pay interest at 10 per cent, 15 per cent or even 20 per cent or more on borrowing and to have £1,000 sitting on deposit in a bank account which is earning nothing."

Financial deregulation and household indebtedness
Low saving rates and high indebtedness are characteristics of the household sector in many developed countries. As in other countries, financial deregulation has contributed to increased household indebtedness in New Zealand. This paper discusses several aspects of the linkages between deregulation and household consumption decisions. It begins with an overview of the financial sector reforms and a discussion of how the reforms affected households' access to credit. Secondly, the effect of a change in house prices on consumption is measured. Given that New Zealanders hold about 80 per cent of their wealth in housing, changes in house prices have the potential to materially affect household consumption decisions. Also, there is evidence that the effect of changes in housing wealth on consumption is stronger in the period after deregulation. Thirdly, the role of the household sector in the current account is discussed as banks have increasingly been borrowing overseas to fund household borrowing. The results indicate that the household sector's net overseas surplus declined by at least $7 billion over the last decade. Finaly, the ability of the household sector to weather an economic downturn is considered. Highly leveraged households are more vulnerable in times of stress, and their debt servicing capabilities might deteriorate when interest rates rise. Also, deterioration in household balance sheets could negatively impact the financial sector.

Costa Mesa set to war on Fairgrounds
The minute the state heard the City of Costa Mesa had voted to make it harder to develop the Fairgrounds, it fired off a letter to Mayor Allan Mansoor and the rest of the City Council telling it to back off.
Back off? Mansoor immediately told city staff to prepare documents that would allow the City Council to vote to make it even harder.
The battle is joined!
Watching not so quietly from the sidelines are at least four other interested entities, any of which at any time could be forced to pick a side: The County of Orange, which has emerged as a potential Fairgrounds buyer; the Fair Board; the nonprofit group comprised of several Fair Board members that wants to buy it; and the grassroots Save the Fair group launched by Jim Righeimer.
Every government-affairs, environmental and land-use lawyer in the region should be mending nets. The fishing is about to get extraordinarily good.
To recap: The state this month put the Fairgrounds up for sale. The city last Tuesday voted to create a Specific Plan that would make it harder – though hardly impossible – for the new buyer to do anything other than what's being done there now. The state's letter, dated three days after that vote, asks the city to "thoroughly consider the state and local economic ramifications" of adopting the Specific Plan. If the city proceeds, the letter threatens, "the state will consider whatever options may be available to preserve the Fairgrounds' value."
Mansoor immediately turned to city staff and asked it to pull together the Monahan-Righeimer Plan with all haste and bring it to the council. This would put before city voters the option of embedding into law the Fairgrounds-only land use in such a way that it would take another vote of the citizenry to ever undo it.
Mansoor told me he's not opposed to the state or the nonprofit owning the property, but said that if a fairgrounds-only use cannot be ensured, "perhaps it's best if the sale is called off." Mansoor, of course, doesn't have the power to make the state call it off, but he and the council can sure make it unappealing.
The provision in the Food and Agriculture Code that specifically authorizes the sale of O.C. Fairgrounds – and only the O.C. Fairgrounds – says the state Department of General Services "may" sell it. Meaning the governor or anyone he designates can stop the sale; it won't require an act of the Legislature.
As for damage to any perceived commercial value, I'd say that has already occurred by virtue of all the controversy surrounding the site.
Mansoor told me Tuesday that he expects the council to discuss the option of putting the land-use issue on the ballot directly – rather than requiring signature-gathering – as early as Tuesday night, although it might not be ready to actually vote on it yet. The city attorney, you'll recall, has been skeptical.
Mansoor has every reason to ride this thing for all its worth. He's running for Van Tran's seat in the Assembly, and while he doesn't have an opponent yet, there's always the chance he'll get one.
To the average voter, his name is most closely associated with anti-illegal-immigration issues, including his attempt to have Costa Mesa police become the first in the U.S. to be able to enforce federal immigration laws. Not a bad thing for an O.C. Republican, but taking on a populist issue like the Fairgrounds would help him, especially in the inland part of the 68th District, where a serious opponent is most likely to emerge.
I mentioned in my last column about the fairgrounds that former reporter Jean Pasco has made her biggest personal foray into politics yet, urging the City Council to put a fairgrounds-protection measure on the ballot. That was last week.
We all knew her husband, well-known Costa Mesa veterinarian Joel Pasco, had been battling inoperable cancer, but it seemed as though things might be looking up. Then he died Saturday while on a fishing trip with a friend.
"Joel was a rascal and had so many friends in so many places — pets, wildlife, bonsai," Jean says, alluding to Joel's collection of 3,000 miniature trees. "He cast a wide net. I thought we had more time but, as one friend said, he made a graceful exit. We should all be so fortunate."

Joseph Lupinacci, Litigation Attorney
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
Mr. McKeen is, without question, Michigan's best Medical Malpractice attorney. He has demonstrated amazing talent in several complex legal matters. He has extensive knowledge of the law and his experience proves its value daily. He shows great subtlety of thought and analysis, which are two characteristics that I believe to be critical for a successful attorney. He is personable and has an upstanding moral character. He is prudent, thorough, clear and articulate. I believe that Mr. McKeen practices in one of the most analytically challenging areas of the law and he unequivocally grasps the requisite discipline, evidenced by his incredible success in the courtroom. I unhesitatingly endorse him.
Akiva Goldman, Family Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Amy Tripp, Estate planning Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have the pleasure of working with Brian and his clients on matters that involve special needs planning. Not only does Brian and his staff care about their client during the pending litigation but they also continue to care about the clients once the matter has concluded. There have been several occasions when Brain and his staff have gone above and beyond for their client and the client's family to assist them and assure them an improved quality of life. Brian makes a difference for his clients.
Ryan Springer, Litigation Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Attorney Brian McKeen is one of the country's finest medical malpractice lawyers. He is a passionate lawyer, and his experience and education in the field of medical negligence law enable him to give his clients outstanding advocacy.

Then I thought: hang on a minute; I used to dream of spending my time in the company of people like this, why am I not revelling in every moment, wild with excitement, instead of sitting here thinking "Pleasant enough evening, nice enough crowd"?
I suppose the answer is: lobsters. Someone once told me about lobsters. They have no means of detecting absolute temperature. A lobster can't think to itself "pretty hot, today," because it has no use for the concept. It's pretty damned good at noticing tiny changes in temperature, though, because that is useful when you make your living detecting ocean currents. So when you chuck a lobster in the pot and turn on the gas, the lobster just thinks: "Hmm. Bit warmer than a moment ago." And, moment by moment, degree by degree, it thinks "Hmm. Bit warmer than it was a moment ago" until presently it thinks. "Hmm. Bit wa..." and boils to death.
A curiously silly way to behave, and I was just relating it to my inability to be excited at being where I'd always wanted to be, when I had to put the idea aside because the war correspondent came up with his conversational gambit. "What," he said, "is the most evil thing you have ever done?"
It was addressed to the pretty blonde woman from a books programme, who immediately looked stricken, so we all charitably began talking among ourselves and left her to wriggle. But there was a slightly jittery edge to our chatter, and you can bet that every one of us was running the question through our own mind. Good gambit. Probably came out of a book, but effective for all that, and, in my case at least, humiliating. Because, do you know, try as I could, I was unable to come up with a single genuinely evil thing I had done, ever?
I suppose I should be pleased, but I felt diminished, somehow less of a man. I kept remembering things which at first sight looked promising - the Curious Case of the Music up the Chimney; the Incident in Nottingham Market Square; the Strange Episode of the Swedish Technology Expert, the Larch and the Twenty-Four Two-Ounce Fishing Weights; the Curious Affair of the Barcelona Confessional - but all, on closer analysis, turned out to be utterly destitute of true evil. Some were driven by ignorance and curiosity; some by the sense that the Rules (of society, the bedroom or the Universe) didn't apply to me; many were driven by stupidity; but most, by far, of my defalcations were the consequence of nothing more dramatic than silliness.
Late at night, with taramasalata on your jacket and the air thick with retsina fumes and bullshit, is as good a time as any to contemplate the question of evil, and I presently came to the conclusion that we don't have very much of it at all; not here, in Britain, in the last years of the millennium. I don't mean random explosions of deranged, stupefying violence; such matters as the massacre of children are simply unaddressable by any humane ethical system. Rather, I mean the institutionalised evil of a Pol Pot, a Mengele or a Charleston Bay slaver.
It's easy enough to see what appear to be symptoms. Poor lunatics discharged into "the community". The blanket acceptance of homelessness. The spurning and deporting of legitimate refugees. The sale of our common property to alien money-men. The disenfranchisement of so much of our public life. All these things seem to bear the whiff of brimstone. And when we look at our Government, we can see, in its belief that there is just one means of motivation and one measure of achievement, that love of money which is the root of all evil.
But we would be wrong to think so. The true curse of our times is not evil, not even stupidity, but silliness. Look at our silly Prince of Wales and his sillier ex-wife. Look at Mr Heseltine, a cartoon Mister Silly if ever there were one. Look at Mr Portillo: pretending to be a big fierce man, but really, in his quacking, wet-lipped bluster, the silliest of silly sausages, seeming like a man who, were serious danger to come down, would run squeaking into the distance with a wet patch on his bags.
Look at the millennium, with its silly, infantile schemes. Look at John Birt, caught up in his silly Systematism; and the even sillier Sir Pigling Bland, wheeled on to squeal about how Silly John is worth every penny. Look at the silly youths who run our economy from their traders' desks, panicking at every rumour, wondering why their money and their high-class sex don't seem such fun as they thought they'd be. And the list goes on. Political correctness: silly. Gays wanting to ape the power-structures of heterosexual marriages designed to protect the laws of primogeniture: silly. Deaf people's spokesmen who say that deafness isn't a disability: silly. Sectarian loyalties: silly. Health fascists too weak to face the inevitability of their own death: silly. Silly doctors, silly lawyers, silly ad men, silly media folk, councillors and planners. Silly, silly columnists.
Silliness is the root cause. Allied to its favourite tools of greed, stupidity and ambition, it is - all too often literally - lethal. But by the time I had reached this grand conclusion, the war correspondent had gone home and the pretty blonde woman from the books programme was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with her man over the interpretation of some Scottish war-ballad, and it was too late to say anything: not esprit d'escalier but esprit sur place.
So instead I thought about the lobster, and how like him we are: unable to step back and assess things as they are, but seeing our progress in tiny stages, a degree at a time, until suddenly, one day, war breaks out, the economy collapses or we die. Evil? Don't be silly. !

Harold Ramis net worth: Harold Ramis was an American actor, director writer and producer who had a net worth of $50 million. Harold Ramis was born on November 21, 1944 in Chicago Illinois. Ramis is probably most famous for starring in and writing some of the most popular comedies of the 80s and 90s. Some of the most notable movies Harold wrote during his career include "Stripes", "Ghostbusters" (I and II), "Groundhog Day" and "Year One". Some of the notable movies Harold directed include "Cadyshack", "National Lampoon's Vacation", "Groundhog Day" and "Analyze This". Harold also starred in many of these movies but his most memorably role will probably always be the nerdy Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Ramis got his start in television on the sketch series SCTV, where he was the original head writer and an actor. After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis in 1966, he worked at a mental institution for seven months. He also worked as a substitute teacher as he moonlighted as a freelance comedy writer and aspiring sketch comedian. He eventually was hired as the joke editor for Playboy Magazine. Harold found a home with the sketch group SCTV where he would soon work with future stars like John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner and Christopher Guest. He wrote a spec script for the comedy magazine National Lampoon which was eventually turned into "Animal House". "Animal House" was produced on a shoestring budget and went on to earn more than $140 million at the box office, enough to make it one of the most profitable movies of all time. Harold Ramis died on February 24, 2014.

Meri's Event Journal
Monday July 4, 2011 / 6:30pm (Boarding begins at 6:00pm)Independence Day Fireworks Cruise Aboard The Jewel Yacht
2 tickets
General Admission
How was your experience?
Macy's Fireworks show was great, however the Jewel Yacht and the staff of OnCruises.com who were running this event not so much. From the moment we got there, it was nothing but disorganization. People were told that the lines were split by the alphabet for first names, but also by last name, no one seemed to know what was going on, making one line clearly longer than the other and no one willing to help. The women who were giving out the tickets were unfriendly and rude, one was even insulting the security guard right in front of the customers. People were confused and unhappy and had a lot of questions but no one was willing to answer. Upon getting on the boat, i went to get my husband and I a drink but was informed open bar was not available yet. No one had mentioned anything about a cash bar at any point. The boat was overcrowded and there were not enough chairs for everyone. When i asked a woman working there, where i was supposed to eat, she just gave me a shrug. They called people down for the buffet at 7, but made us wait for 20 more minutes before they started serving. Someone waiting in line behind who had paid for tickets almost didn't get on the boat b/c the staff said it was at capacity. Isn't that something you should plan on in advance? I will not be taking a cruise with this company again. Goldstar, you should definately not work with this company either. Your customers were not happy and what should have been a pleasant evening, was definately not.

Andrew Stone, a computer consultant, dreamt up the plot while serving a three-year prison sentence for a similar offence. The scheme involved using plastic shopping cards and encoding them with bank account details obtained from till receipts.
The plan to withdraw money from hole-in-the-wall cash machines failed when police were tipped off.
Stone, 28, of Fareham, Hampshire, was sentenced to nine months; John Currell, 26, of Sydenham, south-east London, six months; and Clive Hamilton, 34, of Camberley, Surrey, three months. They had all denied conspiracy to steal. Two other men - Mark Pruce, 32, of Chelmsford, and Steven Wheeler, 25, of Sydenham - were acquitted.

A brit milah (ritual circumcison) ceremony was held, Friday morning, at Me'arat Hamachpelah, the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron, for Natan and Nachman Picard, the twin nephews of Rabbi Dan Mertzbach, who was accidentally shot to death by an Israeli soldier a week ago, as he drove toward the holy site from his home in the southern Hevron Hills community of Otniel. The boys were born about the time of Rabbi Mertzbach's funeral.
The brit was preceded by morning services, after residents of Otniel drove in a 5:00 a.m. convoy to Me'arat Hamachpelah, in memory of Rabbi Mertzbach's Friday routine.

My husband woke up coughing and a little feverish this morning. UGH... a darn COLD!
I knew I'd need to set aside my chores and make the long drive to town to buy him some Nyquil. On the way, it dawned on me to use the Nyquil and a few more ingredients to turn that nasty-tasting wonder-elixer into a delicious (as possible;-) Smoothie for this Instructable's Contest. The Grocery Store was out of Cherry Flavor, so this was a REAL challenge! ;-O)
Seriously.... this Mint-Chocolate Smoothie tastes almost as good as it looks. For a Nyquil cocktail, it tastes GREAT!!! ;-D
I would also like to add that my husband now thinks I'm an angel disguised as his wife. (I sure have him fooled. ;-)
Disclaimer: Use Nyquil ONLY as directed on the bottle. This Cold/Flu Remedy Makeover is for sick people and NOT for recreational purposes... but you already knew that, right?
1 Tablespoon/ Dose Cup of Nyquil
1 piece Spearmint Candy
2 Tablespoon Water
Vanilla Ice Cream
Cool Whip frozen topping
Chocolate sauce
1 Strawberry
Microwave the Spearmint candy and water until the candy is melted. Use the low setting. Stir as needed. It won't take but a minute.
Add the Nyquil, stir it well and put the liquid in the freezer. The Nyquil won't freeze, but it will get super cold and that makes for a better Smoothie.
Take the chilled Nyquil liquid from the freezer and add 2 or 3 BIG scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream and blend quickly with a fork or whisk.
Pour the Sleepy-time (rest-and-get-a-good-nights'-sleep) Smoothie into a Ice cold Glass.
Top with a dollop of Cool Whip and drizzle generously with chocolate sauce.
Garnish with a Strawberry and serve right before bedtime.

Twelve people were killed and at least 31 were wounded when a soldier went on a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood U.S. Army base at Fort Hood Texas on today, base commander Lieutenant-General Bob Cone said.
Cone told reporters at the base that the gunman was killed in the attack at the facility, the biggest military base in the world and a prime point of deployment for U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said in an interview with Fox News that she was told by military officials the gunman was an officer who had been about to be deployed to Iraq.
Several broadcast networks named him as Major Malik Nadal Hasan and said he was about 40 years old, but this could not immediately be confirmed.
Two other soldiers were apprehended as suspects.
Cone said the shooting took place at a "Soldier Readiness Facility" where soldiers preparing for overseas deployment were getting last-minute medical checkups. The shooting took place at about 1:30 p.m. CST (1930 GMT).
"The shooter was killed. He was a soldier. We since then have apprehended two additional soldiers that are suspects. There were eyewitness accounts that there may have been more than one shooter," Cone said .
Christopher Hogue, chief of media at Fort Hood, told reporters: "The only one we know who was shooting was killed and he had two handguns." The shooter was included in total of 12 killed.
President Barack Obama, speaking during an event at the Department of the Interior in Washington, said it was a "horrific outburst of violence". He added: "It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on American soil."
Pentagon officials said it was unclear what triggered the shooting. "I don't know how anybody can speculate about motives at this time given how few facts we have," said Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell.
A U.S. Army official in Washington said the incident took place shortly before a scheduled graduation event at the base.
The massive Fort Hood base, is home to about 50,000 troops, although Texas U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said there were about 35,000 troops at the base at the time.
Fort Hood is halfway between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles (100 km) from each city.
