Parent Gaming uses a simple school-like A-E grading system to rate quality and content for each game. These scores are shown in an info box on the right side of the page in bold red so that users can quickly get an idea of what a game is like. Below is an overview on how games are scored.
Grades how good a game actually is based on the presentation and fun factor. Games are graded based on how good they are today and not how good they were when they were first released. Scores are based on the quality of other games in the same genre. The grades are very general so reading the details in the article will help give you a clearer picture of the quality of a game.
- Excellent Presentation
- Excellent Game Play
- Lots of Fun
Everything in the game looks and plays perfectly. Anything wrong with the game is minor and does not bring down the quality of the game.
- Good to Great Presentation
- Good to Great Game Play
- Lots of Fun
The game looks and plays great. While not perfect the game is a lot of fun. Some small details keep the game from getting a higher score.
- Average to Good Presentation
- Average to Good Game Play
- Usually Fun to Play
The game is average. The quality of the game is good and there is fun to be had. Nothing is wrong with the game but at the same time nothing makes the game stand out.
- Poor to Average Presentation
- Poor to Average Game Play
- Occasionally Fun to Play
The game is below average. There may be some fun parts to the game but they are bogged down by bad presentation and game play.
- Poor Presentation
- Poor Game Play
- Not Much Fun
The game is bad and has almost no redeeming qualities.
Grades on how family friendly a game is. The grades are a basic measure of the content parents may find questionable. Parent Gaming uses the grade scale instead of an age scale because it's the parent's decision as to what is appropriate for their child.

- No Strong Language
- No Mature Themes
This game is safe for everyone and does not contain any questionable content.

Without Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings I Wouldn't Be The Person In Recovery I Am today
By Alexandra Rose
I was told since day one of my sobriety that Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are crucial to my sobriety. Before becoming sober I had not known what these meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous were about. They turned their course with me from what I thought of as a chore to a requirement for my well-being. On any given day, once I step foot into an meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous I feel a sense of being at ease.
Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are a significant part of my sobriety, a way in which I find tranquility, if I listen. Even if the speaker has a story that is nothing like mine, I still will always find that we have a common disease, alcoholism, and a common solution, attending meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. I enjoy listening to stories that relay the message of recovery.
When I am in my head and feel like my day is just falling apart, I know that if I go to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous I will come out of it with a new attitude, a shift in perception. I can change my day around anytime I want and attending a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is a push that guides me into the right direction.
This past weekend I have had a visitor, and did not make attending a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous a priority. I felt like I was going out of my mind with anger and frustration. This is a recurring theme if I don't go to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. I get into such a negative headspace that even though I know a meeting will make it all better, I still put off going to one. It isn't until I can let go of that annoyance and can listen to someone else tell their story that I feel like myself again.
Even the fellowship, before and after an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, is something that I appreciate. There was a point in my sobriety when I wasn't working an Alcoholics Anonymous program, and would state "I would never be a greeter," because I felt it was a commitment just for newcomers. Only when I started to work a consistent program of Alcoholics Anonymous and was willing to greet, after being sponsor-directed to do so, did I realize how wrong I was for making that assumption. Greeting is a commitment that I absolutely enjoy doing. Today, I now have three greeting commitments.
I feel grateful that I live in a city with what are considered the best Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in the world. There are places where there are no meetings and people are not able to attend them, not only in different countries but also in the United States there are areas with limited meetings. This awareness creates such gratitude for being able to go to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous any day and at any time I desire.
Also, at this point of time I go to more meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous than I ever have in sobriety. I get there early to do my greeting commitment and introduce myself to newcomers who walk into the meeting. During the meeting I listen attentively, sit up front, and stay off my phone. After the meeting I thank the speaker and tell them how much I appreciate them being there. Without Alcoholics Anonymous meetings I wouldn't be the person in recovery I am today.

Fernando Alonso feels that Ferrari needs to step up their ability to be more competitive.
Dec.13 (GMM) Ferrari should follow the lead of its challengers and look for "holes" in the rules, according to 2012 championship runner-up Fernando Alonso.
The Spaniard said at a team sponsor event on Wednesday that, despite falling 3 points short of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel this season, his was "a perfect year".
So he said it is now up to Ferrari to push the envelope in terms of how it interprets and exploits the rules.
"This has always happened and always will," he is quoted by Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"However, we too have to think within the confines of the rules while looking for some limits, some holes, like the other teams do in order to improve our performances."


text:
2. Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas -- A one cut guy with vision, good balance, top speed and a great burst. I liked the way he hit the hole, bounced it and got the corner and out ran second and third level defenders. Was not a big finisher inside (just wasn't very strong on contact and put the football on the ground far to0 frequently). Still developing (not a every down player at this time), but I really liked what I saw in this players game. Has run 10.26/100m.
3. Early Doucet, WR, LSU -- Skilled receiver with size, speed, quicks, body control & hands. Gets head around and in and out of a break well. Adequate RAC and instincts. Had problem with him running the in route from the left side (too much chopping). Can avoid the hold up effectively with both power & finesse releases. Will work away from the ball and contribute in the run game. Bottom of the 1st round top of the 2nd draft potential. Not a great one but has few holes. Anquan Boldin clone.
4. Reggie Smith, CB/FS, Oklahoma -- Showed smooth athletic movement, good feet & supple hips, but I didn't see a sudden explosive movement or close to the ball. A proto-type cover two corner or safety. Tough enough, but far from a head hunter. Injured toe late and didn't run at the Indy combine. Good zone awareness. Not as quick or fast as I had originally expected, but I liked his size, playing instincts, and ball skills. Return ability & teams play are a added plus.
5. Bryan Kehl, OLB, BYU -- Really liked this prospect's playing demeanor, athletic ability, range, playing instincts and most importantly his ability in pass coverage. Also showed blitz speed and the ability alter his course to the ball. Is quick to read and react. A leverage guy who needs to improve his point strength and explosiveness . Good ball skills and should factor quickly in nickel.
6. Cliff Avril, OLB, Purdue -- A 3-4 outside backer prospect who overall was somewhat disappointing. Got stuck on blocks and wasn't particularly effective in his movement away from the ball. More of a "Sam backer" prospect and nickel rusher. Did show some short area pop when meeting blocks and the ball carrier. Has some natural leverage. Looks to have strong contributing back up potential within the league.
7. Kevin O'Connell, QB, San Diego State -- Athletic big man. Has a big arm but was inconsistent with his accuracy and ball placement up to his senior year. Has come a long way in the past season, but I still needs work with his fundamentals. Has an awkward throwing delivery. Impressive movement for a big man and threw adequately on the move. Led State in rushing in 2007. Has a chance over time to develop into a good one.
8. John David Booty, QB, USC -- Does nothing to get you real excited as a player, but is an efficient serviceable quarterback. Has an adequate throwing arm, was an accurate short and intermediate passer. Can throw effectively on the move. Good decision maker who is getting the most out of his ability. Football smart. I would today view him as a back up player within the league who when called upon could potentially contribute.
9. Cody Wallace, C, Texas A&M -- Overachiever. Not a supple athlete, but is tough, experienced and durable. Had problems with people on his nose. Not strong at the point of attack. Just adequate contact balance. Tough, nasty individual. Journeyman player who has the potential to fill in at the OG spot. Problems with the bull rush. If he goes to a club that employs a zone blocking scheme (slide protection) could play a long time.
10. Corey Lynch, FS, Appalachian
State -- Has excellent ball skills & instincts for the game. Very bright.
Very physical tackler who will fill the lane. Has good playing range & anticipation.
Experienced hand that keys the secondary. Limited only by his lack of top end
speed, but ran well in pads. Very adept in zone coverage. Gets into the passing
lanes & makes plays on the ball. Outstanding team's potential (has blocked
numerous kicks in his career). The type of individual you want on your football

Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Work closely with a faculty member to hone your research interests and make a contribution to the field. Then network with researchers at conferences to present your findings. Your hard work will help you stand out when searching for a career or applying to graduate or professional school.
Undergraduate students enrolled in any major in the College of Arts and Sciences are invited to apply for research awards to conduct projects with faculty members in the college. Faculty members from departments outside the college may serve as co-mentors on projects but the primary mentor must have a faculty appointment in an A&S department. Projects will be one summer or one semester in length.
Students selected for research awards will receive a scholarship award of $1,000. This award will be applied to the student's financial aid package. If the research project is not successfully completed, the award must be refunded.
Award recipients will enroll in DAS 400, Undergraduate Research in Arts & Sciences, for zero to three credit hours. A typical research project will include at least 100 hours working on the project: 10 hours per week for 10 weeks in the summer, or six to eight hours per week for 15 weeks in the spring or fall. These projects will be direct hands-on research, scholarly or discovery experiences — not lab support or readings. Students selected for the internships will be required to submit a final report.
Research awards can be renewed once; however, preference will be given in the review process to proposals from students who have not previously had awards. Preference also will be given to students who will not receive concurrent funding for the same project from other sources such as Developing Scholars, Johnson Cancer Center, K-INBRE, or McNair Scholars. Students are encouraged to seek funding from such sources to continue projects initiated under the A&S Undergraduate Research Scholars program.
Application deadlines

Mr. Aquino's comfort-zone presidency
Shortly after President Aquino marked his 100th day in office, in 2010, I wrote a column attempting an analysis of the new commander in chief's self-evidently well-defined sense of limits. The unfortunate controversy over his decision to omit Tacloban City from his packed schedule commemorating the first anniversary of "Yolanda" over the weekend reminded me of that attempt; perhaps (if you will allow me) it bears a second look.
2 Responses to Mr. Aquino's comfort-zone presidency
November 12, 2014 at 3:22 pm
I disagree with Nery's conclusion.
Aquino's presence at Laude's wake would have added political color to a straightforward case of killing.
Aquino's presence at Tacloban would have shifted the public focus away from the rehabilitaion work being done by the government to the political bickering between Romualdez and the administration.
His presence at both those places would have distracted rather than contributed towards the resolution of Laude's killing and the completion of the rehabilitation of all the typhoon ravaged areas.
November 12, 2014 at 7:05 pm
I agree. Indeed, I get tired of all the emotional over-think that goes on regarding such matters, and am thankful for anchor of your rational take. haha Your 'seasoned" and rational take. President Aquino did the right thing on both matters and it is clear there are a lot of pundits in the woods who would make lousy presidents.

OXFORD, Miss. - James Stampley arrived at LSU as an offensive lineman, but gladly moved into the backfield when coach Les Miles told him the Tigers needed a fullback.
The former Baker High School center has been leading big-name teammates through the line ever since.
But Saturday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, with LSU's 52-3 victory over Ole Miss well in hand, Stampley got a chance to experience the same joy he has worked so hard to help others discover.
The walk-on fullback's 1-yard score late in the third quarter was a hidden highlight of this one-sided laugher.
"I'm always the one helping us get the score, but to be the one that actually scores?" Stampley said. "I was like, ?So this is how everybody feels?'"
Teammates rave about Stampley's quiet confidence and selfless, head-first approach to playing football.
Until the penultimate regular-season game of his college career, Stampley had never recorded any offensive statistics despite having made 14 career starts. He had broken 25 of his own facemasks and one helmet, according to the LSU media guide, during practices and in games.
There he was Saturday as LSU reached the Ole Miss 2-yard line, ready to go about his business paving the way.
He got a surprise.
LSU coach Les Miles called Stampley's number on three straight plays, making it a point to see his senior fullback cross the goal line.
"I was definitely surprised he kept calling my number," Stampley said.
It appeared for a moment Stampley would let the moment pass him by. After the Rebels stopped him on second and third downs, Stampley nearly botched the handoff from Jarrett Lee on the last of three straight fullback dives. But after initially losing control of the ball, Stampley not only got the handoff, but also spun away from a defender to reach the end zone.
"I mean, the guy showed up here as an offensive guard," Miles said. "We told him we needed a fullback. He's a very bright guy and a very team-oriented player. We basically said to him, ?We need you to play fullback for us.' He said OK, and he learned it."
The smile Stampley wore Saturday was as wide as his 5-foot-10, 239-pound frame.
"An opportunity like that doesn't come around very often," he said. "I was determined I wasn't going to be denied."
Stampley wasn't the only LSU back who had a good time.
Alfred Blue had 74 yards on only four carries, including the longest rush by an LSU runner this season on a 57-yard gain. Spencer Ware had his longest run of the season on a 35-yard touchdown and finished with 70 yards on 10 carries.
Kenny Hilliard scored his third goal-line touchdown in two games. Terrence Magee, another freshman, had the best night of his young career with 55 yards on seven carries.
All told, LSU backs rolled up 353 yards against the Southeastern Conference's worst rushing defense.
"I don't care who's back there, they all run hard," LSU guard Will Blackwell said. "They're all great backs. I was excited to see them all get some work."
He was most excited for Stampley.
"It was definitely good to see a guy like Stampley get a touchdown," Blackwell said. "He told me tonight it was the first touchdown he's ever had in any level of football."
A sign of things to come, perhaps? "I would love the idea of doing that," Stampley said with a laugh. "We'll see what happens."

Noe, in a way, gifted Shinichiro with Hiromi because if it wasn't for Noe, Shinchiro would never have expressed his love. He knew Noe loved him and sacrificed to let him fly. Noe knew that it was Hiromi that was in his heart and he couldn't fly if he stayed by her side.
The entire story from beginning to end was about how his relationship with Noe brought Hiromi and Shinichiro closer together. If I had the time I would go through and point out each individual sign that points to this. I think more will see it if they keep this in mind and watch the series again.

Another interesting spin on this might be to take the Platonic angle and view the Shin/Hiromi/Noe triangle through the ancient Greek definitions of love. That's a much-debated topic of study and subject to interpretation, but Plato (further developed by his student, Aristotle) basically said there were three types of love - Eros, Philial, And Agape. Eros is pretty straightforward - in blunt terms, horniness. It's thrilling and all, but not enough on it's own to sustain any lasting relationship.
Through this lens I might argue that Shin felt Philial love for Noe. This is a kind of brotherhood (in the broad sense, not the gender sense) - Aristotle refined it to the love of a true friend. This is someone whose company you enjoy, someone who makes you at ease when they're around. Someone you want to be with, irrespective of any erotic feelings or issues of gender.
Finally, there's Agape love - Plato called it "ideal" love". Interpretations vary, but all agree this is the highest and purest form of all love - it transcends Eros and even Philial. The gist of it is, this is the act of totally and selflessly dedicating yourself to the welfare of another person. In other words, unconditionally putting their needs above your own, even if they do things that displease you. It can be for lovers or parents or children or God, if you swing that way - it can include Eros love and Philial love but surpasses them in every way. In short, storybook, truly idealistic romantic (not erotic, though that can be a part of it) love could only fall under this defintion of the three.
Viewed in the context of his actions in the series, I think Shin feels this way about Hiromi and only Hiromi. It doesn't mean he didn't love Noe - not at all, he did come to love her, but on a different level than he loved Hiromi. It's a different way to look at it, anyway.

I really don't think he was crying for himself, but for Noe and his heart wavered because of what he had to do. In a sense, he gave her his tears. Noe encouraged him to fly and all he had to offer in return was heartache.

I guess I'll ride with the momentum while it lasts, since it seems lots of people have moved on from TT already. Glad that there are still discussions going on even after the series finished.
The thing is, it's not like Shin didn't know how to draw (or couldn't draw well) before meeting Noe. During the dance, when Shin mentioned about wanting to draw, he was specifically talking about the story of "Raigomaru and Jibeta". He was inspired to draw about flying (and tried to fly himself) because Noe believed that he could fly. And, frankly, I don't think it can be seen otherwise. There's a limit to how much you can generalize with that statement, as it wouldn't make sense for Noe to be the reason for Shin to draw about wanting to wipe Hiromi's tears.
Indeed, as outlined in my previous comment, there's no doubt that Noe helped Shin transformed his way of drawing as a whole (and not just the story of Raigomaru and Jibeta), as he mentioned to Noe herself in ep. 13. But even then, I still insist that Noe's not the ultimate meaning for Shin to draw. Otherwise, he would have lost the will to draw after breaking up with her, which isn't the case at all. At the end of the final ep., we still saw him continuing to draw.
First, I have to say that Noe isn't the reason for him to fly. Because if it's the case, then Raigomaru would have flown since its first try. The reason why it found excuse not to fly so many times was because Shin hesitated. So if you agreed with the first paragraph you quoted me, you can't deny it. Besides, if Noe is 'the' meaning for him to fly, it means he will lose his wings once he lost Noe, which could hardly be called an improvement. I believe what's more appropriate to say is that Noe helped him found his own wings.
Second, if Noe is really the reason for him to fly, there would be a clear sign of hesitation after he looked at Noe while dancing. I believe if you take a look at ep. 12 again, you'll see that after he has done talking to himself inside the cupboard, he showed no sign of hesitation ever since. Even in the scene where we saw the reflection of her face in his eyes, you'll see that it's not the eyes of the person who hesitated, swayed or confused. It was more of a determination, confidence, one-pointedness. And, to me, that kind of expression doesn't leave any room for half-heartedness.
IMO, if you want to see how Shin looked when hesitated, you can go back and rewatch ep. 9 & 10 when Raigomaru hesitated to fly. I'm no anime expert, but it's not hard to see the difference in Shin's expressions during those eps. and what we've seen in ep. 12. And, frankly, I would be more inclined to take THAT as a sign of hesitation or swaying.
BTW, for those of you who believe that Shin was lying to Hiromi to run to Noe, I urge you to look again. To me, that statement only implied that he would use the time when people were celebrating to go find Noe. I don't see how Shin really gain anything from lying to Hiromi. Besides, both Shin and Hiromi also knew the direction where he was heading, so if Shin did indeed lie and want to be firm with that move, he would have walked back into the crowd and sneaked out later without Hiromi noticing. Yet no such thing happened. He just walked straight out of the shrine, in a totally opposite direction of the crowd. And, to me, that move just says in itself that the statement wasn't intended to be a lie.
Also, I wouldn't call the talk between Shin and Noe in ep. 13 as a "confession". I mean, I definitely understand your point, but I think you're pushing it a bit too hard there...
The point is that there's a central theme for the situation Shin was in: he just went with the flow so much that he let it dictated him, to the point where he lost sight of his own true feelings. If you look back at all previous episodes, you'll see how all the pieces came together and fall into place: how Shin felt that he felt he "had no choice" on each matter (be it his drawing, his dance, or his relationship), how he found his solutions by finding his real feelings, and how he acted them out in the end. And, frankly, I don't think there's any better way to explain it.
And it's worth noting, too, that the resolutions in Shin's mind was pronounced enough to change him on the outside. In fact, it was so apparent that it made the crowd impressed with the dance, made his friends reevaluated him (in ep. 13). And, more than anything, it made Noe, who saw Shin's flight, wanted to know how it feels like looking down from the sky (just listen to what she said when climbing up the tree). So, honestly, with Shin's flight being so brilliant and determined as it was, I don't even see how any actions of Shin from that point on can indicate any hesitation, any trembling or instability, or any "change of heart", for that matter. All I've seen there was totally the opposite of that.
In short, I think it's just silly for us to focus so much on relationship part that we're unable to acknowledge what Shin has truly overcome and achieved by the end of the series. Because, seriously, THAT is what made him mature so much.

Wow b0nyb0y. You sure had a lot to say lol I couldn't reply to all of your post since I have other things to do, but I'll try my best....
Isn't that what I just said?
The story started with Shin feeling discontent about his drawings. Ever since he met Noe, his imagination became very active and influenced a lot by Noe (the glass bottle, the angel, the red snow, etc etc), even before he started writing Jibeta and Raigomaru story. Or could it be that you see flying and being able to draw on a different page as well.
Why would he lose his will to draw even if he parted with Noe? Just the fact that he was drawing, specifically about things close to the sky, suggests that Noe's influence continues to live with him.
I'm in love with Hiromi, but when I look at you, my heart wavers. = He's in love with Hiromi, but when he looks at Noe, he's not so sure anymore.
By all means, call it what you want, but that's the point of that confession. It's also the reason why he had to part with Noe. Shin chose to remain loyal to Hiromi, and that's what happened here. Between a newfound encounter, and a long time love, which would you choose?

So, if we agree to disagree, I don't have any more things to say. I have stated my views so many times here as well. I did share my views on TT to the world, and did state it a clear manner as my time permitted. And that's good enough for me.

Well, I can start about Noe.
Before this, Noe only acknowledged one particular kind of person as her equal. That being the Raigomaru (in her mind) archetype.
To her, someone who can not fly is not even worth her interest.
In fact, judging by her initial treatment of Jibeta, it won't be a stretch to say that she despises these kind of people. NO CHICKEN FEED FOR LOSERS!
This mindset however, causes people to avoid her and causes her to avoid people which she deems unworthy.
Midway in the story she realizes, that she might have misunderstood the Jibeta archetype. Perhaps they were capable of flying all along, but have solid reason to chose not to. She begins to acknowledge that the act of making this choice is also comparable to flying.
Finally, during the last episodes she realized that there are many facets of the characters around her that she did not notice earlier. She did not realize Jun's feelings, and she's far from understanding Shin's feelings.
She realized that this might be because of her particular mindset that only looks forward to Raigomaru and no one else.
After this it is assumed that she starts to approach people with a different mindset and gain friends she never considered having before.
And most importantly, she doesn't have to pour out her heart to the sea on chickens anymore. Seriously, that's not healthy.

Come on everyone
Though I think at episodes 11-12, Noe can be likened to Jibeta, she once thought she's helping Shin to fly, but later she herself wanted to fly (as literally jumping off a tree) like how Jibeta jumped on Shin's picture book.

I said earlier that I would show some of the signs if I had time. I decided to do at least one and a clear explanation of it. Here is the conversation between Noe and Shin in episode 13, just before she limps away.
Spoiler for episode 13:
There are two things to this conversation. On the surface it seems that Shin is grateful for everything she has given him and implying that he is afraid that he cannot fly without Noe, in fact that is the most obvious. However, Noe doesn't reply with encouragement in that regard, just explanations about her being able to fly.
Noe realizes that he can fly without her and she knows Shin realizes it too, but Shin owes much to Noe and is afraid for her, not himself. He is casting doubt on himself as an excuse, so she consuls him that she can fly without him by her side.
This is not the conversation of someone love stricken and having to part ways. His heart wavers because he knows that they are going to part ways and Noe will have to fly on her own, unlike him who had help to fly. As I said before, Noe gave him the ability to fly and all he could return was heartache. He wants to give in turn what he was given, but cannot and it is heartbreaking to him.
When he is crying and singing, he is watching her walking on her own, limping with crutches down the street, all alone. It was mostly tears for Noe, not himself.
The fact pointed out that Noe couldn't cry for herself was a key element in spring boarding the relationship between Shin and Noe. To get them back, someone had to give her their tears, meaning cry for her.

wow! true tears really touched its viewers ne? it even makes us wax philosophical. i read LianYL's review of True Tears as Life as a picture book perspective and was awed at how much wisdom he could glean from the anime.
this anime is a mirror that reflects something different for each viewer. not since miyazaki's nausicaa has an anime grabbed my attention like this. really looking forward to more of P.A. works!

The quote that ani-d repeatedly brought up is the most clear and important of them all. Shin loves Hiromi but when he sees Noe, his heart wavers. This is a very direct and clear message that Shin has said to Noe. It's a pretty direct message from the writers who made sure the scene had no overtones of pity or sympathy from Shin. This isn't an accident. Now, when looking at the structure of that sentence and what is implied by the comparison, I think the interpretation is clear, but really there's not much point in continuing this argument over and over as it's already gone on for quite a bit and I don't think anyone is changing anyone else's mind. I think people get the impression that agreeing with this weakens the Hiromi ending. Personally I feel that it just makes True Tears a far more unique, realistic and strong series.

From the second paragraph (this ties in with what harmonious was saying).
では、これで眞一郎と乃絵、比呂美の三角関係に決着がついたのかと問われれば、答えは否である 。
なぜなら眞一郎が乃絵との関係を解消し、比呂美と新たな関係を築くための第一歩を踏み出してい ないからだ。
その原因のひとつは、彼自身が抱える問題にあるのかもしれない。事故をきっかけに眞一郎の母親 と和解し、

Translation for the above staff-side commentary (the news letter was released several hours before the airing of the 13th episode):
So then, if one were to ask whether a conclusion was brought to Shinichirou, Noe, and Hiromi's love triangle, the answer is no.
This is because Shinichirou hadn't ended his relationship with Noe and made the first step to build a new one with Hiromi.
While Shinichirou did not bear any romantic feelings towards Noe and it was clear that from the story up until now that he had been longing for Hiromi all this time at the bottom of his heart, why had yet to any action?
The first reason for this is probably a problem that he himself has. Hiromi's conflicts had been resolved all at once, having made up with Shinichirou's mother and blood relationship dilemma with Shinichirou being cleared.
That's why she's in a state where she can fully pursue her relationship with Shinichirou.
However, Shinichirou hasn't yet shown any signs of completing the picture book he promised to complete for Noe nor does he have the confidence in being able to dance at the Mugiha Odori as well as the people around him are expecting of him.
That lack of confidence may be connected to his lack of confidence towards Hiromi.
The other reason is his concern and worry towards Noe. Shinichirou, while not having romantic feelings for Noe, appears to be feeling that he can't leave her the way she is.
Whether it is from the guilt he feels for not giving her a sincere confession or the embarassment of not being able to continue the picture book can't be said.
What is definate is that he is concerned about Noe.

wait, wait, wait
I get the feeling that I'm being blamed. I don't like that >_<
Let me translate things
Shinichiro held no romantic feelings towards Noe, his heart has always been pursuing Hiromi from the start. Knowing that, we wonder why he hasn't made a move towards Hiromi until now? (then the article goes on and tries to explain things)
その原因のひとつは、彼自身が抱える問題にあるのかもしれない。事故をきっかけに眞一郎の母親 と和解し、
One answer to that, is that Shinichiro had personal issues. It is true that because of the recent accident, Shinichiro's mother had managed to make amends with Hiromi. The fear and suspicion of incest has been removed, and Hiromi started to seriously think of pursuing Shinichiro.
However, Shinichiro still had not fulfilled his picture book promise with Noe. He was also preoccupied and quite nervous with the upcoming Mugihara festival dance. We have reasons to believe that the source of his unrest is related with his lack of confidence to face Hiromi properly.
One more reason is his concern towards Noe. He was burdened by it. Shinichiro wanted to help her in a platonic manner but he could only think of vague solutions.
We do not know if he is guilty from of having given a lip service confession (earlier episode) or the fact or if was bothered because he had trouble drawing an acceptable ending for the picture book. But we do know one thing, his concern for Noe is genuine.
See, I'm not the one making up the "no romantic feelings" part
Don't shoot the messenger >_<

1913, Francis Ouimet
In the most improbable victory in Open history, 20-year-old Francis Ouimet, a working-class kid who grew up across the street from The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., and caddied there, routed English legends Harry Vardon and Ted Ray by five shots in an 18-hole playoff. Needing to birdie one of the last two holes in the final round to get into the playoff, Ouimet ripped his "jigger" -- the equivalent of today's 4-iron -- from the rough to 15 feet and made the putt. The enormous upset sparked interest in golf in America, and the number of golfers tripled in the next 10 years.
1999, Payne Stewart
Payne Stewart's winning putt and pose at Pinehurst No.'2 were destined to be etched in memories, and when Stewart died in a plane crash four months later, it made his triumph all the more poignant. The winner of the 1991 Open at Hazeltine, Stewart prevailed in a tense, back-nine battle with Phil Mickelson, who watched with a resigned expression as Stewart drained a 15-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. It is believed to be the longest winning putt in Open history. Amy Mickelson gave birth to the couple's first child the next day, so Phil might not have stayed for a playoff had there been one.
1964, Ken Venturi
Exhausted and dizzy from the oppressive heat at Congressional, Ken Venturi didn't look like he could finish the round, let alone win a major. At a time when the final 36 holes of the Open were played on the same day, a struggling Venturi missed two tap-in par putts at the end of his third round. A doctor gave him tea and salt tablets and advised him to quit. But Venturi trudged on, ice packs at the ready, and shot even par over the final 18 to win by four.
1950, Ben Hogan
Sixteen months after a near-fatal car accident, Hogan had to go 90 holes to seize the second of the four Open championships he won in a six-year span. Limping noticeably, Hogan played the third and fourth rounds at Merion on the same day and told a friend at one point, "My God, I don't think I can finish." He finished, all right -- brilliantly. Needing par on the 458-yard 18th to get into a playoff, Hogan slashed a 1-iron to 20 feet and made the putt. He shot a 69 in the playoff to beat Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio.
1980, Jack Nicklaus
Returning to Baltusrol, the site of his 1967 Open win and his famous 1-iron shot into the 72nd hole, Nicklaus won his final Open title at the age of 40. He fired a remarkable 63 in the first round (matched by Tom Weiskopf), but still had to hold off Isao Aoki, who shot three consecutive rounds of 68 before closing with a 70. Nicklaus, who made birdie on the last hole to win by two shots, notched a total of 272, breaking by three strokes the Open scoring record he'd set in '67. The Golden Bear joined Ben Hogan, Julius Boros and Ted Ray as 40-somethings to win the Open, and he matched Hogan, Willie Anderson and his idol, Bobby Jones, as four-time champions.
1960, Arnold Palmer
In the victory that made him an American icon, Palmer overcame the largest third-round deficit in Open history, seven shots, by shooting a final-round 65 at Cherry Hills for a two-stroke win over a rising amateur, Jack Nicklaus. Fired up after hearing talk in the clubhouse that he was too far back to win, Palmer opened the fourth round by driving the green on the 346-yard first hole. He two-putted for birdie and would birdie six of the first seven holes for a 30 on the front nine. It would be Palmer's only Open title.
1955, Jack Fleck
The son of poor Iowa farmers, Fleck denied the great Ben Hogan a fifth Open title when he beat him 69-72 in a playoff. Hogan was declared the winner by TV commentators as they went off the air late in the fourth round, but Fleck was still on the course. Using Hogan-brand irons that Hogan himself had given to him, Fleck birdied two of the last four holes in the final round to shoot 67 -- the only player to break 70. Fleck, who became a celebrity again last year when Iowa's Zach Johnson won the Masters, said a voice came out of the mirror the morning of the final 36 holes, telling him, "Jack, you are going to win the Open."
1982, Tom Watson
It is probably the most replayed shot in Open history and arguably the greatest. Jack Nicklaus, seeking his fifth Open victory at the age of 42, was tied for the lead and in the Pebble Beach clubhouse when Watson, needing one birdie to win, arrived at the 71st hole. Watson hit his 2-iron into the rough at the seaside par-3 17th, but got a good lie. Caddie Bruce Edwards said, "Hit it close." Watson replied, "I'm going to make it." Watson's lobbed sand wedge shot broke about a foot and dropped in. What isn't often remembered is that Watson also birdied the 18th hole and won by two.
1977, Hubert Green
In the final round at Southern Hills, Green had to handle more than the pressure of trying to win his first Open. The FBI received a call that Sunday morning from a female who said three male friends were going to the tournament to shoot and kill Green. An army of law-enforcement people headed out to protect Green, who was informed of the threat on the back nine. "I was scared enough already," Green said afterward. He steeled himself remarkably, making birdie on 16 to take the lead and closing with two pars to beat Lou Graham by one shot.
1990, Hale Irwin
As celebrations go, it ranks among the best in golf history. Needing a birdie to get into a playoff at Medinah, 45-year-old Hale Irwin, in the tournament on a USGA special exemption, made a 45-foot putt on the 18th hole and then joyfully sprinted around the green, slapping high-fives to every fan who dared stick out a hand. The putt was improbable, given that it had to navigate a crown at the green's center and a 5-foot, left-to-right break. In the playoff the next day against little-known Mike Donald, Irwin was forced to the 19th hole, where he made a 10-foot birdie to become the oldest Open champion.

The Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report was released Thursday morning for last week. The 371,000 new claims number was a 4,000 increase from a 5,000 downward revision for the previous week. The less volatile and closely watched four-week moving average, which is usually a better indicator of the recent trend, rose from 359,000 to 365,750. Here is the official statement from the Department of Labor:
In the week ending January 5, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 371,000, an increase of 4,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 367,000. The 4-week moving average was 365,750, an increase of 6,750 from the previous week's revised average of 359,000.
The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 2.4 percent for the week ending December 29, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point from the prior week's unrevised rate. The advance number for seasonally adjusted insured unemployment during the week ending December 29 was 3,109,000, a decrease of 127,000 from the preceding week's revised level of 3,236,000. The 4-week moving average was 3,197,250, a decrease of 26,000 from the preceding week's revised average of 3,223,250.
Yesterday's seasonally adjusted number was above the Briefing.com consensus estimate of 364K.
The unemployment report footnotes for the previous week's unadjusted data identifies eight state with a decrease of more than 1,000 layoffs (Florida at the top, where claims fell by 11,015) and 18 states with an increase of more than 1,000 new claims (Michigan topping that list with 15,107 new claims).
Here is a close look at the data over the past few years (with a callout for the several months), which gives a clearer sense of the overall trend in relation to the last recession and the trend in recent weeks.
Note: The conspicuous steeple that began in November in the chart above is, of course, the fingerprint of Superstorm Sandy.
As we can see, there's a good bit of volatility in this indicator, which is why the 4-week moving average (the highlighted number) is a more useful number than the weekly data.
Occasionally I see articles critical of seasonal adjustment, especially when the non-adjusted number better suits the author's bias. But a comparison of these two charts clearly shows extreme volatility of the non-adjusted data, and the 4-week MA gives an indication of the recurring pattern of seasonal change in the second chart (note, for example, those regular January spikes).
Because of the extreme volatility of the non-adjusted weekly data, a 52-week moving average gives a better sense of the long-term trends. I've now added a linear regression through the data. We can see that this metric continues to fall below the long-term trend stretching back to 1968.
A Four Year Comparison
Here is an overlay of the past four calendar years and the beginning of 2013 using the 4-week moving average. The purpose is to show the relative slope of improvement since the peak in the spring of 2009. Here, too, we see a clear illustration of the Superstorm rise and fall in the moving average.
For a broader view of unemployment, see the latest update in my monthly series Unemployment and the Market Since 1948.

The details are foggy in my brain at this point. I remember looking in some detail at the TEA branch a year or so ago, and being concerned about some aspect of how the TEA branch interacted with device selection. I remember there was discussion about it at the time, and I remember being personally convinced that a better solution was possible, but by now it has been so long since the discussion that I cannot remember the details of the problem or of the discussed solutions. I have some TEA work ahead of me in my day job, so it is possible that I will become engrossed in the whole thing sometime this summer/fall, but it hasn't percolated to "top priority" quite yet. BTW, you are welcome to selectively integrate things from your list below, into the main branch yourself, if you wish. IMHO, part of the problem with the TEA branch is that too much happened on it. Reviewing the changes between TEA and main, is too big a task. If the first two items depend on the TEA integration, perhaps you could just take the bottom three, and move that out of the TEA branch and into main (assuming they are suitably mature for production use by the wide world of PLplot folk). I'm a big fan of named branches, for focused work. But if the TEA branch has roughly 5 major tasks all within it, I think that results, on a purely human level, in an impediment to getting it merged. Especially if the merge is left to others than the developer(s) on the branch. It seems to me that perhaps some of this could've been done directly on main, or that perhaps a few named branches, each with more limited scope, could've been employed. Actually moving over to TEA, is probably a substantive effort, and surely deserving of a named branch. But the rest of the stuff, I would think, should be pretty independent of the TEA work, per se. > On Tue, 25 Jun 2002, Maurice LeBrun wrote: > > Vince Darley writes: > > > I've been out of touch with plplot development for some time, but was > > > wondering what the current status of the 'Tk' driver is, and whether > > > anything from the 'tea' branch I contributed to (a long time ago) has > > > actually been incorporated into plplot? > > > > > > * new 'tkwin.c' driver which works on Win/Unix/MacOS with Tk > > > * better plframe widget > > > * better Itcl extended plframe megawidgets > > > * fixes to colour palettes, etc. > > > * fixes to other parts of Tcl<->plplot interaction > > > > I integrated the color palette stuff in Jan with enhancement to work with > > DirectColor visuals & related support.

South Africa, Cape Town By Night And Day
It is Tuesday evening and already I know I have made the mistake of not allowing myself enough time to visit this beautiful part of South Africa. I must now make the most of my time left before I catch my flight back to Johannesburg tomorrow afternoon. With that in mind, I take a drive up to Table Mountain even as night is falling.
As I drive up the dark and whining mountain road the wind is blowing significantly as an almost full moon is making it's way from behind thin gray clouds. The lights of Cape Town sparkle below as I continue my climb to the base of Table Mountain.
The night air has a damp chill to it as I exit my car to get an unbiased view of the night scenery. The illuminated mountain hillside looks almost spooky and unreal as it is beginning to be covered by moist evening clouds. Distinct sharp jagged edges, highlighted by artificial lighting gives this part of Table Mountain a very cool effect.
A close drive from Table Mountain and I am looking down at a darken coastline spotted with tall buildings still visible before the evening fog rolls in from the ocean. What I have seen so far has wet my appetite to return to Signal Hill in the morning.
A light rain is falling as I begin my drive on Wednesday morning back towards Signal Hill. Driving in and out of mountainous fog banks, I am beginning to think my trip back will be fruitless. Arriving at the viewing point from the previous night, I can barely see my hands in front of me as I exit the car and stand in the cold damp morning air.
Disappointed, after a few minutes I return to my car and then a miracle happens. I turn around and the fog clouds have disappeared right before my eyes. From left to right and near to far I can see as clear and as far as my eyes will allow me to see.
The views are just as beautiful today as last night but with more colors and clarity. A white surf dresses the coastline and cars can be seen maneuvering the streets below. Cape Town is waking up nicely.
Leaving the viewing point and following a path along the mountain top an inviting sound can be heard in the distance. Even as I approach the area where the sound is coming from I cannot see the producers as they are hidden behind dense bushes. Accompanied by musical instruments, the vocal sounds are definitely not English but seem more African. I am intimidated to approach any closer but then from an inquiry, a young man gives me an open invitation.
On a Wednesday morning, what a treat to stumble upon a group of locals worshiping on Signal Hill when all I thought I was doing was coming here to take in another view of Cape Town.
Returning to my car, the weather has improved so much that I can now clearly see Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held as a prisoner for 27 years. For about R$200 you can take a scheduled ferry from Cape Town waterfront to visit the island. I understand it is a popular journey and tickets sell out fast. So book early.
Leaving Signal Hill is bitter sweet as I take in views of the Futbol Stadium, Waterfront, Downtown and Lion Head Mountain. All places that I will not have time to visit.
Either way my visit here has planted a seed for me to visit Cape Town again as this is one city that has a lot to offer.

Brooklyn Mine Road is a 10.4 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Twentynine Palms, California and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for off road driving and is accessible year-round.
off road driving
over grown
washed out
We were excited to take this trail as we had been on the Old Dale trail the day before and wanted a more challenging area to traverse. We entered from the 62 highway and followed the coordinates of a trail map downloaded from Trails.com. Parts of the trail are washed out by flood waters but we scouted around on foot and found the trail again. Once we got into the mountains a few miles we decided to turn back due to 9-16" boulders and lots of narrow areas where the brush would destroy my paint. I hacked a few dozen back with a hatchet before giving up. It was 100 plus and we were alone. I'd recommend having another vehicle to do this trail. It's fairly remote and in that kind of heat it could be a deadly hike out should you get hung up or break down. We circled back to another tail to Carlyle Mine and really enjoyed it, albeit a short jaunt. I have a lifted 2015 Rubicon, but not willing to risk the Brooklyn Mine Trail alone. Call me silly.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge will not be mass produced and will not be available outside of South Korea, the company has confirmed.
Shown off at the IFA technology show in Berlin this summer, the Note 4 Edge is just like a conventional smartphone, except its screen curves over the entire right-hand edge. Samsung hoped developers would think of smart ways to display information here, such as a stock price ticker, news headlines, or notifications.

Samsung also suggested the edge display could be used as a clock when the rest of the screen is switched off. But Samsung Electronics president DJ Lee recently told reporters the Note 4 Edge will be a "limited edition concept" going on sale in South Korea soon.
This tallies with a statement by UK retailer Clove, which said it would not be receiving the Note 4 Edge from its suppliers, although would endeavor to source Korean handsets to sell here. Clove said it "will not be available in the majority of European countries."
Mobile Choice got our hands on the Note 4 Edge at IFA and liked the concept, but we were doubtful that developers would create enough apps to make the quirky phone a success.

That is all.
Bartholomew Kuma is an recurring antagonist that appears in the One Piece series. He is a cyborg that is one of the seven Warlords of the Sea and a former member of the Revolutionary Army. After the events of the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, he has been modified into a full Pacifista (human weapon) and completely follows under the World Government's orders.
Before the modifications, Kuma was a very calm character that tends to not get surprised by anything. Despite working for the World Government, he willingly helped the Straw Hat Pirates escape with their lives but this is mainly due to Luffy being the son of Dragon. Even before being modified, Kuma remained emotionless. After the modifications were done to him, Kuma completely loses his free will and does what the World Government tells him to do. Because of this, he is no longer an ally to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Powers and Abilities
Kuma ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi (Paw-Paw Fruit) that allows him to repel anything with the palms of his hands. This Devil Fruit is very formidable as it can deflect almost any attack (including sword slashes), air, and even pain itself. Kuma can also use this Devil Fruit power to send people away to where he chooses.
As a Pacifista, Kuma is able to fire light beams from his mouth. He is also very durable and is capable of take a lot of attacks without showing much damage unlike other Pacifistas. Also, despite his large size, Kuma is able to move very fast even faster than Luffy's Gear Second speed. By using his Devil Fruit powers on himself, Kuma is also able to teleport from one place to another.

I had a mole removed by laser a year ago by an Oculoplastic surgeon. I had a couple of stitches. It healed well and the rim is nice and straight, however I still have a little puffy spot right below the rim. Is there anyting I can do about that now that it has been a year? Is that normal? Do you think this will go down after more time has passed. Or is there something topical that I can put on it or do? By the way I am 47 if that makes a difference. Thank you!
Puffy Lower Lid After Mole Removal a Year Ago
Doctor Answers 2
Puffy spot on lower eyelid after laser removal surgery
Scars heal for approximately one year. By the/ end of one year after a procedure, the scar has pretty much reached its final form, if it is not a keloid.
If a puffy spot is present near a scar after one year, it will most likely not resolve. There are no topical medications that can correct that.
If it is bothersome to you, then I recommend discussing that with the oculoplastic surgeon who did the original procedure to see if the spot can be removed.
Eyelid margins are tricky. If the scar heals incorrectly there can be a notch in the lid margin which can irritate the eye.
Mole removed fro lid margin should not swell after that long time. consult a board certified plastic surgeon, what you may be describing is a "dog ear deformity"

"I got these to match my invites and got several compliments on our invitations. We were doing online RSVP's so we used these to direct people to our wedding website, and only sent response cards to our older relatives and those not as internet savvy. I went for the rounded corners, and upgraded pearlized paper. My experience with Wedding Paper Divas was great. The design team were very helpful in adjusting my custom colour until it was just right. Very fast shipping as well. Highly recommended!"
"We wanted to add more text and a picture to this card, so we took a snap shot of a document that included the RSVP information and a picture of us. Then we uploaded the snap shot to the back of the card, and it turned out great."
"We are so happy with this product! We used one of our engagement pictures in black and white--the printing was clear and detailed--just gorgeous! We ordered this card in the "Holiday" red, with square corners, and with the pearl white shimmer detailing. Highly recommend this product!"
"I purchased the invites and rsvp's that match this card and I couldn't be happier with all of them. I love the common theme with the circle. I tailored this card to be more of an "info" insert by putting where we were registered at the bottom, and changed "drinks" to "hors d'oerves"... overall looks very classy, cardstock is pretty thick, too."
"I love this card--and the whole set. The best part was working with wedding paper divas. The sample they sent was great, as they included a sample card of the other colors on the same cardstock. So I was able to know what my "custom" color would look like. love weddingpaperdivas!"

Anyone who owns a Dodge knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the highest quality replacement parts will do. When your Dodge Spirit left the factory, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes a trusted name in their automobile. Dodge car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their Spirit around town. Make no mistake, you bought your Spirit because you understood you would be getting great performance and great value both impeccably combined into one vehicle.
Engines need to keep cool if they are to maintain operational status. That's why your Dodge Spirit engine has a network of cooling hoses transferring a mixture of water and ethylene glycol throughout the engine. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the water pump and engine block to the radiator core, while other coolant hoses send the ethylene glycol mixture through the thermostat, return the coolant to the expansion tank, or by-pass the heater hose flange. If a Dodge Spirit radiator or coolant hose gets a leak, then coolant pressure will drop and it could boil; leading to engine failure.
Procuring new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Spirit parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Dodge Spirit Coolant & Radiator Hose parts for 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

I attended a two day workshop this month to learn this time honored skill and will say it was definitely worth trip to Atlanta. The workshop was held at the Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance (SEFAA) Center and attended by 10 students. We all had a lot of fun learning about the history of Irish crochet and seeing examples of needle point lace and crochet pieces done by Maire and ladies in the Clones area of Ireland. She also had with her examples of what the Russian textile artists such as Olga Krivenko (Olgamini) and Antonina Kuznetsova are doing using Irish crochet and other techniques such as Romanian Point Lace cord in their creations. I've been a fan of these artists ever since I bought my first Zhurnal Mod/Duplet crochet magazines. To see their handiwork in person is stunning and inspiring! I hope to perhaps one day meet these wonderful artists and learn their skills.
I learned a lot from this workshop such as the structure of the rose motifs and making the Clones knot. I also got the confidence I needed to plow through those Pricilla Irish Crochet books I bought off of Amazon. There are some beautiful motifs in them and the written directions are rather quirky. I'm happily discovering how wonderful it is to learn these international interpretations in my ever expanding adventure in textile art.

Goal: Don't kill a harmless dog simply because of his appearance.
A family dog in Brighton, Colorado is facing death after accidentally left running loose in the neighborhood. The pit bull named Dre hurt nobody, but inspired several complaints for barking and looking "vicious." Ask Mayor Dick McLean not to allow an animal to be killed just because of its appearance.
Dre was let loose one evening after his family's young child opened the garage door by remote. Unbeknownst to the owners, the pit bull ran around the neighborhood and was spotted by many residents. Responding to complaints, local police officers had a difficult time capturing the dog, but nobody was scratched, bitten, or hurt in any way during the process. Dre was detained and faces a court hearing soon. A police officer and an animal control officer have stated that they will plead with the judge to have the dog destroyed for his "vicious" behavior. Because there were no injuries, these men are obviously labeling the animal as vicious based on appearance only.
This is clearly another case of prejudice against dogs based upon breed. Dre is not facing death for his behavior. He's facing death because he's a pit bull. Dre is a family dog with a loving home, and he's kept contained at all times with the exception of this one fluke. This harmless animal must be released back to his family where he belongs. By signing the petition below, you can ask Mayor Dick McLean of Brighton, Colorado not to allow this dog to be put to death.
Dear Mayor McLean,
A harmless dog in your community is facing possible death for all of the wrong reasons. The pit bull named Dre belongs to a loving Brighton family whose young child accidentally let the dog loose in the neighborhood. Dre did no harm to anybody, but his bark and intimidating appearance led to several complaints.
Now, a local police officer and animal control officer are pleading with the court to have the dog destroyed on the basis of his 'vicious' nature. How can you say a dog that has hurt nobody is vicious? Clearly what these men mean is that the dog looks scary, and should therefore be punished by death. This is blatant breed discrimination and a poor excuse to hurt a loving family dog. Please help Dre get back home to his family. Don't allow your local government to execute this dog.
[Your Name Here]
