These former two almost match the animation of 5 Centimetres per Second, though it's in part because they required 12/6 hours of animation as opposed to one. The latter may not be as good visually, but it's still stunning at times.
All three lack the mecha, "harsh in your face comedy", and fanservice shots you've described, and less fictional elements than several other anime series.
5 Centimetres per Second is a great production, but it's not something you can use as a basis for anime quality (except for animation quality, where it probably has no equal.)
As for my favourites:
1. Kanon 2006
2. Ef - A Tale of Memories
3. 5 Centimeters per Second
4. Air
5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
This is according to my ANN ratings, as I'm too lazy to really give it much thought at the moment.
And yes, I obviously value animation quality.

1. Rozen Maiden - Quite hilarious, but also very original, and able to have a good mix of humor and moments of sadness. Music is amazing too
2. Code Geass - Absolutely terrific character depth, admirable personalities. I haven't finished the series yet, but Lelouch is awesome =)
3. Full Metal Alchemist - Amazing plot, genuine likable main character.
4. Shakugan no Shana - Shana, Shana, Shana; oh, and good originality, art, etc. Season 2 is picking up now.
5. Fate/Stay Night - References to heroes are nice; flashy fight scenes, good character depth, nice music.

1. You forgot about Suiseiseki in your reasons why Rozen Maiden is good.
2. This is only on your list because you haven't finished it.
(This is somewhat a joke. For you Code Geass fanatics, don't flame me, because you know the ending sucked. It's still a great show, though, so even if the ending was sub-sub-sub-par, it could easily make many top 5's, and is in my top 5 for action series.)
Looking forward to the second season though.
3. Amazing plot? Likable main character? Lies.
4. You forgot Hecate. And it needs more Shana.
I also think we're quite aware by now that a third season of Shana is imminent. That makes me quite happy, if not only for the fact that she'll be able to compete in future SaiMoe tournaments.

2. Yeah... Just finished Code Geass... and it has to be the king of all cliffhanger endings I've ever seen... I mean seriously, do we know anything about anything at the end? I'm not quite sure how season 2 will continue on the finale of season 1, because as far as I can see, there isn't too many options left for Lelouch.
3. Ehh, a matter of opinion I guess. The ending + movie atleast offered some closure, which is good. I liked how all the little bits of information during the season combined at the end to present a true picture of what happened with everything.
4. Wohoo 3rd season =D How far are the novels progressing?

2. I was also referring to the many deus ex machina brought about in the last few episodes, but the last-minute cliffhanger (four months and he gives us an epic cliffhanger). I'm here hoping the second season will measure up to pre-episode 18 Code Geass (except the Mao arc. That, too, was quite crappy.)
3. Well, that's not really the "plot" persay, and nothing of the main character. I agree that it's not a bad series, but the main character isn't one you could really imaginatively "look up to", nor is he manly.
4. I'm only following the light novels as they're translated by Viz, so I don't know how far they've progressed in Japan. I would ask someone who's read fantranslations or are fluent in Japanese, but I would estimate that they've covered 10+ of the 16 current novels.
Makoto Shinkai + Tenmon = , though (no, just no.) His music is quite amazing, apparent in Ef - A Tale of Memories, which is a shameless dump on my part.

The Cleveland Memory Project, one of the coolest and most useful archives of Cleveland photos, recently uploaded a new batch of Browns shots. And there are some great ones.
Caption: "The Cleveland Browns champs of the Eastern Division will have to wait until 12/26 to learn who they will play for NFL title. But taking no chances are Jim Kanicki (69) with sign 'Beat Baltimore' and Jim Houston (82) with 'Beat Green Bay', while Bill Glass (80) holds sign 'Jim Brown for President.' These defensive men watch the offense workout. UPI TELEPHOTO" — photo verso. The Browns would ultimately play the Green Bay Packers for the 1965 NFL Championship. The Packers won 23-12. "
Caption: "Referees going to man with microphone on field to tell fans to stop throwing snowballs or be penalized. Tommy Dowd (with hand in air) got hit by snowball. Penalty against Browns 15 yards." — photo verso. "3rd Qtr: Eagles' HB Ken Keller breaks through defensive line and goes 20 yards for TD that tied game at 14-14." — photo verso. "WEEK 10 - The Browns edge the Eagles, 17-14, on a 37-yard Lou Groza field goal with 29 seconds remaining. But the game becomes memorable because of a small, but vocal crowd (20,654) that pelts the officials with snowballs when no pass interference is called on a controversial final-quarter play. The assault continues despite pleas from coach Paul Brown to stop." — from Cleveland Browns: The Official Illustrated History by Ron Smith."
Caption: "The Cleveland Browns prepare for their first-ever team flight on October 11, 1946. Paul Brown innovated travel in professional sports as the Browns became the first pro team that flew to all road games. On this day, the Browns are heading to New York for a Saturday night contest against the Yankees. The Browns won an ugly 7-0 game on the strength of a late New York turnover" — from Cleveland Browns History by F.M. Henkel."
Caption: "LA Dons fullback Walt Clay huddles over the goal line in a 31-14 loss against the Browns as John Yonaker runs into the goal post attempting to make the tackle. The game was played on Thanksgiving Day 1948, in a week that saw the Browns play three road games in eight days. The Browns won the first game in New York against the Yankees, beat the Dons in the second, and nipped the 49ers in the third game on just two days of rest. The Browns became the only team in history to win three games in eight days" — from Cleveland Browns History by F.M. Henkel."
The plans of Break Up With LeBron to donate Clevelanders' unwanted LeBron jerseys to Miami-area homeless shelters hit a snag last week when politics got in the way of a good deed.
According to the Broward New Times:
"It's on hold right now," says Rita Clark of the Miami Coalition for the Homeless. "There's a lot of politics around this."
The Coalition had been in talks with the Cleveland do-gooders, but ran into some resistance here in South Florida. Apparently, a marketing plan based on the concept of, Here — take a bunch of stuff we hate! wasn't particularly appealing. Clark says she heard Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado was opposed to the donation plan.
"It seemed very well-intentioned, but it's not gonna happen right away," Clark says. "I'm trying to help them be better received here in Miami."
That left many in Miami shaking their heads. Really? Shirts are shirts, right? Who cares what the officials have to say. The homeless would totally take a free LeBron Cavs jersey and wear it, right?
Miami New Times decided to conduct an experiment to answer the question.
We happened to have an authentic wine-and-gold never-worn LeBron James Cavaliers jersey. We tore off the $59.99 price tag and headed to the area surrounding NE First Avenue in downtown — Miami's version of Skid Row, a few blocks from LeBron's new workplace, the American Airlines Arena.
The first shirtless bum we saw identified himself only as Patches. He's thusly nicknamed because of the green bandanna he wraps over his left eye, rendered sightless after a botched surgery. Originally from Cuba, Patches, who wears an ancient Pizza Hut baseball cap and keeps a twig between chapped lips, says he became homeless two years ago. He was stranded in Miami after cops dragged him from his former home in Houston to face time for an old robbery warrant.
Patches had heard of LeBron James — duh — but was unaware of the controversy surrounding the jerseys. "Shit, I'll wear anything," he remarked and happily donned the supposedly toxic jersey. As we drove away, he catwalked an imaginary runway in front of a homeless buddy, who looked envious.
So what was that about politics? The entire quest took Riptide all of five minutes.
See, they not only want it, they're proud to have it.
That seems to be what's going to happen on November 26 according to a very general pic posted on their site.
Skiing? Skating? Sledding? Snowman-making?
Can I throw snowballs at Andy Marte?
Who the hell knows.
It could be their best on-the-field decision in the last ten years.
The Cavs are boring and I was worried the video-game version of the Wine and Gold on the upcoming NBA Jam would be boring as well.
I was wrong.
Mark Price and Brad Daugherty are back, ladies and gentleman.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Players: Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison and Anderson Varejao
Legends: Mark Price and Brad Daugherty
Our advice to Cavs fans still reeling from The Decision: Sticking to the combo of Price and Daugherty — Cleveland's original twosome in the first arcade version of Jam in 1993 — just might beam you back to a happier time B.L. (Before LeBron). It's worth a try to escape, at least electronically, from the LeBron-less present.
Chad Ochocinco strode onto the field at Canton's Fawcett Stadium for this year's Hall of Fame Game wearing orange cleats. That was a no-no; the Bengals were slated to wear black shoes for the contest.
While it was one of the renegade wide receiver's tamer uniform shenanigans — more so than, say, the time he plastered a temporary "Ochocinco" nameplate on his uniform during his Chad Johnson days — it was a violation of the National Football League's dress code nonetheless. And it was Felix Wright's job to make it go away.
For 10 home dates a year, the 51-year-old former safety for the Browns serves as one of the NFL's 32 official uniform inspectors, emissaries employed at each stadium to maintain the sartorial sanity.
Wright has been the inspector at Browns games since 2001, but he also works the annual Hall of Fame Game, a preseason contest that marks the unofficial start of each season. He wandered over to talk to Ochocinco prior to kickoff last month and eventually managed to get him league approval for wearing the orange shoes just this one time. After all, the case to the league office went: He's only playing one series tonight.
Then Ochocinco emerged from the locker room just before kickoff with gold cleats on.
"They said I could wear these!" he insisted to Wright.
"No, you have you take those off. You were approved for the orange," Wright told him. "I was right there with you."
Wright's day begins two hours before kickoff, when he scrutinizes each team's pregame activities. "It's usually on the field before I can see it, but I have to police it," he says. "They know who I am. They know who all 32 [inspectors] are. Most guys will come over and ask 'Am I OK? Am I fine?'"
Those who aren't — untucked jerseys, socks exposed kneecaps, unauthorized shoes, etc. — are logged on a report by Wright. One copy of it goes to the NFL; another goes to a designated member on each team — usually an equipment or strength coach, who then goes over the list in the locker room before kickoff, reminding each player what Wright griped about.
If they emerge from the tunnel with all infractions corrected, Wright simply checks off their name. If not, the league seeks input from the inspector as to whether a fine is in order; most times, if the problem is remedied before the first whistle, the player escapes monetary punishment — the very threat of which is usually enough to persuade them to adjust the offending garments.
Wright then logs another report throughout the game, for which the stakes are considerably higher. During the preseason — when fans mostly aren't following the action on the field anyway — fines start at $5,000. The price goes up for the regular season, with exact dollar amounts depending on the severity and frequency.
"Most guys don't like getting fined," Wright says. "All it usually takes is one hit. What I tell guys is, don't look at me as the bad guy. I'm keeping money in your pocket. Ultimately I'm the guy that's going to help you not get fined."
Take Josh Cribbs, who for a couple of games last year took to wearing socks on his arm as though he were auditioning for an '80s rock band. Wright popped him with a write-up, the NFL levied a fine, and the offending hosiery disappeared.
Of course, some jocks just don't care. Feisty former Browns Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow share that distinction.
"Braylon and Kellen would come out and just say, 'I'll take the hit,'" Wright says. "Braylon wouldn't wear any socks. He'd have footies on, he would wear his shirt under his pads. I used to tell him, if you're going to give money away, give it to your mom. Don't give it back. Why would you want to give up $10,000 just because you don't have socks on?
"The guys up top are watching too," Wright adds. "It's not just me."
He isn't kidding. Everything — from jerseys being properly tucked in to height of socks to brand of shoes to the color of the chinstrap — is addressed under the league's rules and regulations. While Wright says he is not reprimanded or judged based on his performance, if he misses something, the NFL is bound to catch it. Whether an oversight leads to a later fine or an immediate phone call depends on the situation. If it's Monday Night Football, for instance, expect a call.
"It's easy to make fun of them — call them the fashion police or whatever, but the NFL has maintained a better look in terms of consistency in uniform than, say, Major League Baseball," says Paul Lukas, who covers the uniform beat (yes, there is such a thing) for espn.com and his blog, uniwatchblog.com.
"You can call it whatever you want. It comes from the same place as the control-freak aspects of the NFL, the corporate controls, but it's led to a better-looking product compared to some other leagues. You have to believe if the players had their way, they would wear anything."
But it's about more than just what the players are wearing; it's about brand management.
The NFL is uncannily adept at capitalizing on its popularity through sponsorship deals, contracts which allow companies like Reebok and Gatorade and Motorola to become the official and sole providers of services and have their logo splashed around the stadium. It's a lucrative business, one the NFL goes to great lengths to protect. Reebok's deal, for instance, paid $250 million over ten years.
That kind of coin buys you the efforts of henchmen to keep Nike logos off the field.
It was one of the first lessons Wright learned from his predecessors in the job, former Browns Gary Jeter and Eddie Johnson. "'You're here to protect the sponsorships of the NFL,' they'd say to me."
That means no Adidas, no Nike, no Powerade, no Lucent. And no Coke or Pepsi, products seemingly incongruous with high-level athletic pursuits, but which Wright often finds on the field anyway.
"It's wild that the stuff gets down there, but it gets down there," he says.
Wright's domain extends into the locker room too, where he sticks around two hours following the final whistle to monitor coaches and players on both teams appearing on camera during interviews. Same rules: No logos of competing companies. If it's not a sponsor, you're not wearing it, you're not holding it.
But if the players seem woefully uneducated when it comes to the rules, it might be because they don't receive much internal guidance. The coaches, Wright says, are often worse than the players when it comes to blowing off league policy.
As evidence, he recounts a recent episode of the HBO reality series Hard Knocks, which this year is chronicling the New York Jets. "I want to talk to you about the uniform rules," head coach Rex Ryan informs his team. "Wear your uniform."
"Then he broke the meeting," Wright says with a laugh. "He doesn't care."
He might not care now, but some of the Jets may, including Braylon Edwards, when New York visits Cleveland to play the Browns on November 14.
Wright will be there waiting, undoubtedly looking at Edwards' socks.

When the sparks of anger were flying fast and hot in the wake of LeBron's departure to South Beach, many a LeBron jersey in Cleveland went up in flames.
The cathartic process of torching the King's gear made some fans feel better, but others thought it was a tad wasteful to burn perfectly good clothing that someone could wear.
Break Up With LeBron was part of the latter group and did more than just encourage fans to donate their now useless James jerseys: They organized a collection drive for Clevelanders who wanted to dump their gear and promised to deliver the rags to homeless shelters in Miami.
The cause was covered by the AP, ESPN, and others.
Stung by the NBA superstar's decision to leave Cleveland and play for Miami, Cavaliers fans have been unloading their unwanted No. 23 jerseys, T-shirts and other clothing items bearing James' name at locations around the city. Organizers are shipping the discarded James gear to homeless shelters in South Florida.
"It's like any breakup," said Beau Miller, who began the campaign with three friends. "You want to give all your stuff back."
For the past week, Cleveland fans have been dropping off their LeBron-related items at Yours Truly Restaurants in Northeast Ohio. Miller said he and his friends wanted to turn a negative situation into a positive and that the response has been "extraordinary."
All good, right?
Not so fast.
Turns out Miami officials have concerns about the plan and have halted the donations.
As with most things, it's about politics.
The Broward/Palm Beach New Times reports:
"It's on hold right now," says Rita Clark of the Miami Coalition for the Homeless. "There's a lot of politics around this."
The Coalition had been in talks with the Cleveland do-gooders, but ran into some resistance here in South Florida. Apparently, a marketing plan based on the concept of, Here — take a bunch of stuff we hate! wasn't particularly appealing. Clark says she heard Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado was opposed to the donation plan.
"It seemed very well-intentioned, but it's not gonna happen right away," Clark says. "I'm trying to help them be better received here in Miami."
You would think Miami would be used to taking things from Cleveland, but I guess not.
Bernie, Bernie, oh yeah, how you can drive. No, no, no no no no.
Random YouTube searching turned up a video purporting to show Bernie Kosar pulled over by a Cleveland motorcycle cop after making an illegal U-turn and, allegedly, hitting a bike cop in the process. The title of the video, "Bernie hits a bike cop," seems to make that point at least.
Some public records searching shows that Bernie did in fact receive a ticket for an illegal U-turn in Cleveland on 8/15 and also drew a ticket for failure to control, which seems to back up the claim that he hit something, likely the cop's bike.
Anyway, here's the video, which is pretty boring except for the random heckling from the crowd like: "This is going on YouTube!" and "Aren't you happy you're white!"
Below, also enjoy a fine video of Bernie hawking Longaberger baskets, because that just never gets old.

However, many won't be able to notice things like solid positioning, covering passing lanes, using his stick effectively and other subtleties of defence.
The Sedins are not bad defensively. They may seem like they are bad because they are average skaters and do not play aggressively, but they are almost always in position and definitely pull their weight defensively.
Sedins struggle to get the puck back and do a poor job of winning puck battles. Positioning is fine but if they're just standing there watching it really isn't good enough. Good defensive players are in the right position and separate the opponent from the puck. A line of 5 Sedins would be hemmed in it's zone until the goalie froze it or the other team scored.
They play with burrows who's great defensively and always play with a top defensive pairing. They watch them do the work in the d-zone.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The founder of Overstock.com rejected the NAACP's demand for an apology Friday after an Internet video surfaced of him saying that Utah minorities who don't graduate from high school might as well be burned or thrown away.
Patrick Byrne's comments were posted on YouTube. The video clip was from a debate two weeks ago in Provo, where he was speaking in favor of vouchers, public aid for families sending kids to private schools.
A statewide voucher program that would grant $500 to $3,000 per child based on family income is on the Utah ballot Nov. 6.
On the YouTube video clip, Byrne says: "Right now, 40% of Utah minorities are not graduating from high school. You may as well burn those kids. That's the end of their life. That's the end of their ability to achieve in this society if they do not get a high school education. You might as ... just throw the kids away."
Byrne has made similar remarks in other debates. He said Friday he had no intention of apologizing and claimed his comments were taken out of context.
"These folks have been selective in their editing," Byrne told the Associated Press. "I very clearly said the system is throwing away 40% of the minority kids because they're not graduating. I'm saying that I'm against throwing kids away.
"People against vouchers are in favor of throwing the kids away," Byrne said.
Jeanetta Williams, a voucher opponent and president of the NAACP's Salt Lake branch, said the videotaped comments shocked her and she believes Byrne meant that minorities who don't graduate should be burned or thrown away.
"Those were his words, not mine," she said.
Williams noted that Byrne didn't mention white children who don't graduate. Utah is 83.5% white, 11% Hispanic and 1% black.
"It says he's not sympathetic to the minority community and he means exactly what he said," Williams said of Byrne's lack of an apology.
Byrne, chief executive of Utah-based Overstock, has long been a voucher advocate and has donated several hundred thousand dollars to the voucher movement in Utah.
The NAACP opposes vouchers, saying they could lead to segregated public schools. It says tuition still would be out for reach for many minority families because a voucher wouldn't cover the entire cost of private school.

Alcoholism is an affliction affecting millions of people across the world today. Warning signs for victims of alcoholism are apparent least of all to the addicted person and more obvious to those around them. The affliction of alcoholism causes a level of extreme denial to the user that allows the disease to continue to flourish. Alcoholism is defined by the American Medical Association as a disease- more specifically, "a primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations." Alcoholism is believed to be inherited genetically, and the proof of that is rather prolific, as children and grandchildren of alcoholics tend to become alcoholics themselves, whereas families with no alcoholics present tend to stay that way.
Alcoholism has lasting and devastating negative effects on the body and a persons well-being, such as cirrhosis of the liver, multiple sclerosis, nerve damage, "wet brain" (which is the condition wherein the brain is permanently saturated with alcohol) as well as domestic and legal fallout of the alcoholics life.
Other addictions tend to pair themselves with alcohol addiction, usually in the realm of other substances like opiates, cocaine, marijuana, and so on. The "addict" part of an alcoholic knows no bounds and the disease flourishes across all realms in order to attempt to "fill the bottomless pit."
Once the alcoholic decides to quit drinking, depending on the severity and the level of the addiction prior to abstinence, alcohol withdrawals, as opposed to the withdrawals from any other substance, can actually be lethal, causing things like seizures and delirium tremens.
Warning Signs of Alcoholism
At first, the rise of alcoholism can be hard to see. It can happen at any age under any circumstances, and in American society (as well as most others across the globe) heavy drinking is not that all uncommon. But eventually, the alcoholic will eventually begin to stand out against the rest of the "normal" drinking population.
First and foremost, the main warning sign that someone may in fact be an alcoholic is their consistent drinking at any time of the day, especially in the evening. It is most common for people to drink during the evening, but usually on weekends. An alcoholic will drink on weekends like everyone else, then slowly more and more during the week, and the drinking schedule will start to become earlier and earlier until they start their drinking first thing in the morning.
The alcoholic will become reckless with their drinking and drink at times such as before driving or important events that require them to be sober. They will stay drunk for long periods of time, as well as start to isolate and drink alone.
Once the alcoholic takes the first drink, an allergic reaction takes place within the body and an obsession to continue drinking takes over their mind. The alcoholics willpower is beyond helping in these situations- the ailment is physical, like diabetes or a mental illness. They cannot control the impulse on sheer volition alone. They "must" keep drinking and everything else takes the back seat to that.
The obsession to drink after the allergic reaction has been triggered, even by the smallest amount of alcohol, causes the alcoholic to drink more and more. Over time, a greater tolerance to alcohol develops, thus causing the alcoholic to drink much more than they did in earlier days, thus leading to the threat of bodily harm. Blackouts will begin to occur, if they had not already, wherein the drinker does not remember what happened during periods of drinking at all. A blackout is where the minds ability to imprint new memory is inhibited by the sheer amount of alcohol in the brain- there is a technical malfunction.
Alcoholism As A Genetic Disorder
According to an article published through WebMD.com outlining a study done on alcoholism, alcoholism and other disorders such as depression and anxiety are linked to the same genetic background. A study released from the University on Chicago in Illinois shows that a gene referred to as the CREB gene in the brain is what is involved in most of the brains activities pertaining to alcohol, such as "alcohol tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms."
The study used rats that were genetically modified to be deficient in the carrying of the CREB gene versus other rats that were not. The study found that the deficient rats were consuming up to 50% more of alcoholic fluids presented to them versus the "normal" rats. They also exhibited greater signs of anxiety when taken through rat maze tests, versus the normal rats which seemed to exhibit little to no signs of anxiety.
Another observation made was that the rats deficient in the CREB gene displayed less anxiety after drinking alcoholic fluids than the normal rats did, suggesting that using alcohol as a coping mechanism was evident in rats, as it is in alcoholic humans, thus drawing the conclusion that such a mechanism is a genetic trigger. It mirrored the observation that alcoholics use alcohol to cope with their inherent anxiety and depression, both being linked to the CREB gene as well.
The part of the brain that houses the CREB gene and its functions is referred to as the central amygdala. The final observation in the study showed that the CREB protein was found to be at higher levels in the modified rats versus the normal ones, suggesting that the biology of the modified rats dictated the need for a higher ability to metastasize alcohol, possibly due to a higher sensitivity and "need" for it.
This study showed that a higher sensitivity to alcohol and a more dramatic effect created by alcohol in the brain is linked to the CREB gene, concluding that, one, the CREB gene may be referred to as the "Alcoholism Gene" and, two, that alcoholism is both a genetically inherited trait and linked to anxiety and depression, which are found to be paired most prolifically with alcoholism.
The Effects of Alcoholism Upon the Body
The effects of excessive alcohol consumption on the body can be widespread, permanent, and lethal. There are several ways that alcoholism affects the body of the addicted person, both biologically, psychologically and emotionally.
According to an article published online by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the main areas that excessive, prolonged drinking can affect are the brain, heart, liver, pancreas and immune system.
The way that alcoholism affects the brain is by disrupting the communication pathways that connect the brain. This can lead to the brain actually becoming slightly misshapen, which over long periods of time and heavy drinking can become permanent, i.e. wet-brain and delirium, along with other mental illnesses. This is what also causes blackouts- the communicators in the brain that allow memory to become imprinted are disrupted to the point they cease working for a time. This effect on the brain also causes changes in mood and behavior, leading people to become different things like overly happy and loving to everyone around them, people who cry excessively or become unusually angry, more flirtatious, and so on. People become their "drunk selves". This is from the warping of the mind and hyperactivity of certain areas of the brain (and by proximity, the dulling of other areas) that is caused from the presence of alcohol.
The physiological effects of alcohol on the heart are similar in appearance to those same effects on the brain. Over prolonged periods of consistent drinking, the heart can also become warped and lead to something called cardiomyopathy, which is the stretching or drooping of the heart muscle. Other things that can happen to the heart are arrhythmias, which is where the heart beats irregularly, clotting in the arteries and veins leading to strokes, and the most common and early symptom of heart problems caused by drinking: high blood pressure.
The liver takes the hardest hit over time from long-term drinking. Something called steatosis of the liver can occur, which is where the liver starts to turn into fat. This alone can be life-threatening, for it can lead to liver failure and eventual coma.
Alcoholic hepatitis is when the liver begins to swell and become damaged, also leading to the possibility of liver failure. As suggested by its name, this also comes solely from excessive, prolonged drinking of alcohol. Loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pains, fever, vomiting and jaundice are all symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis. Jaundice is the yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes and can be caused by several different things, such as excessive breakdown of the red blood cells from other disorders, blocking of the bile ducts in the digestive system, and liver failure.
Liver fibrosis is where the liver begins to show signs of it healing itself after damage, mainly caused by excessive alcohol consumption, thus showing that damage is actually occurring. This is not to say that only excessive alcohol consumption is what can cause liver fibrosis- there are an array of different causes- but drinking too much is a main cause. Liver fibrosis is similar in its processes to the way that skin and other tissues heal themselves via scabbing or scarring.
Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the most well-known and dangerous of the afflictions that are brought on by excessive drinking. This is not to say that any affliction brought upon by prolonged, excessive, daily drinking is better or worse than the other, but cirrhosis is one of the most damaging and debilitating of them all, for it cannot be reversed. People who drink alcoholically are at severe risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver.
Cirrhosis can be considered stage two of liver fibrosis, wherein the damage is so great that it begins to spread to the nervous system. The scarring from the liver damage is so deep that it begins to severely disrupt the livers processes. There are several symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver, as reported by NYTimes.com:
- Fatigue or Loss of Energy
- Poor appetite or weight loss
- Nausea or Belly Pain
- Small, red, spider-like blood vessels on the surface of the skin
- Fluid Buildup in the Legs, otherwise known as Edema
- Fluid Buildup in the Abdomen, otherwise known as Ascites
- Jaundice
- Redness on the Palms of the Hands
- In men, impotence (sterility of the semen) shrinking of the testicles and swelling in the breasts
- Easy Bruising or Abnormal Bleeding
- Confusion or Problems Thinking Clearly
- Pale, clay-colored Stool
The best treatment for the conditions, obviously, would be to quit drinking entirely. A low-salt, healthy diet is also a treatment option. One should also get vaccinated for all Hepatitis infection strains. Medications that can be taken for these problems include "water pills" (or diuretics to encourage bowel movements and decrease the amount of fluid buildup within the body) Vitamin K to decrease unusual or excessive bleeding, medications that improve clarity of thought and decrease confusion, and antibiotics for infections.
Alcohol Withdrawals
As previously stated, withdrawals from excessive and prolonged drinking can cause severe conditions that can be fatal or extremely damaging. Such withdrawals, and the fallout thereof, are actually classified as a syndrome, simply called Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS).
Symptoms of AWS can start off as simple things that may be symptoms of a vast amount of other disorders. Such symptoms of AWS include:
- Bodily Tremors
- Nausea and/or Vomiting
- Headache
- Increased Heart Rate
- Sweating
- Irritability and Confusion
- Insomnia
- Unusual Nightmares
Those symptoms can be considered mild and early for what is to come later for someone who has completely quit drinking after drinking alcoholically for a long time. Someone who has decided they need to stop after being a heavy, prolonged drinker so seek medical supervision for their withdrawals, preferably in a detox facility, due to the fact that severe withdrawals can be lethal. The previously stated symptoms would appear early on and worsen into something that is called Delerium Tremens, or DTs.
Delirium Tremens are when the body is going through severe alcohol withdrawals. After such prolonged drinking, the body of the alcoholic becomes dependent on the presence of alcohol. Once the alcohol is removed, severe fallout can occur and take the form of DTs. DTs can be rather terrifying and extremely dangerous, thus calling for the need for medical supervision. DTs can take the form of:
- Extreme Confusion or Agitation
- High Fever
- Heart Disturbances
- Seizures of Varying Severity, all the way up to Grand Mal
- Hallucinations, including:
- Tactile (e.g. itching, burning, numbness)
- Auditory (hearing things that are not there)
- Visual (seeing things that are not there)
Due to the severity of these withdrawals and the close inter-linking of alcohol to the biology of the alcoholic, AWS is the only kind of withdrawal process that is treated, very seldomly, with the very substance that it is withdrawing from. In earlier days, when AWS and DTs were starting to become treated and alcoholism was starting to actually become acknowledged as a disease, patients were given small doses of alcohol during their withdrawals in order to keep the body stable and help them wean off of the drink.
In conclusion, alcoholism is a widespread and devastating recognized disease that affects millions of people around the world. The fallout from the disease is numerous and severe, as are the withdrawals. But treatment and reversal are possible by complete abstinence. It is also recommended that a sick alcoholic attend 12-step meetings and/or seek counseling for their affliction, for it cannot be conquered alone.

This morning I went to the coffeeshop around the corner from my apartment to, well, get some coffee and do the crossword (coffeeshops always lose points when they don't offer free newspapers with Arts sections for me to poach) and I noticed that the cut-out snowflakes that had been adorning the windows since December were now replaced with multicolored paper hearts. It took me a minute, but I finally figured out that it was February, and February means Valentine's Day.
Whether or not you're a supporter of February 14th or not, there's no denying its presence during the bleakest month each year. I mentioned briefly in an earlier post the matchmaking board at Word, an independent bookshop in my neighborhood. I love reading all the slips of paper tacked to it every time I stop by. They're all the same format, with spaces only for "I'm a _____ looking for a ______" and what books/authors you do like and those you don't. That's it! No other personality traits or qualifications, these matches are made based on books and writing preference alone.
Which gets me thinking. How much does compatibility in literary tastes matter in compatibility? Does it matter? Similar or, conversely, vastly different tastes are certainly helpful for awkward first date conversation—mention the book you're reading (or, really, any subjective artistic pursuit) and whether the two of you can gush together or argue amicably, there's at least ten minutes of waiting for the food to come covered. I would never decisively say that a preference for a certain genre of literature or a writer's body of work could ever define a person (as evidenced by John's post earlier this week), but it's still really fun to find someone else who has read the same obscure novel or loves the same generally ridiculed author as you.
In any case, while I myself am hardly adventurous enough to fill out one of those forms and stick them up for the world to see, I wholeheartedly encourage everyone else to do so—otherwise I don't get to read them!

Nail polish brightens dull fingernails, just as a drunk meteorologist brightens a dull newscast. Get everyone's attention with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
$35 for one Shellac mani-pedi package (a $77 total value)
$59 for two Shellac mani-pedi packages (a $154 total value)
- Shellac manicure (a $32 value)
- Shellac pedicure (a $35 value)
- Minx application for two nails (a $10 value)

After a refining and softening mani-pedi, nail technicians drape digits in Shellac lacquer. A quick stint under a UV light leaves the polish with a chip-free, mirror-like shine that can last up to 14 days. Minx nail coatings come in a bevy of eye-catching designs that cover nails in a solid layer akin to a temporary tattoo.

If I was a coach and had a 20 / 21 year old dogging it because it was just regular season he would be benched. This would happen at any level of hockey reg season playoff whatever.
Its not just older players that raise the level of their game in the playoffs. The whole team does. Occasionally you get one player who rises above the rest. Not always an older player. Example: Paul Byron as a 16 year old literally carried Ottawa West on his back to a Leaque Championship. Its the nature of the game. Its the team that as a whole that raises their game that is going to be successful. The Jr B rankings whether statistically correct or not are entertainment at best. Its fun to talk about. I am sure we can talk about Clarence Creek being ranked too high til the cows come home.
Gatineau and Ottawa I think deserve to be where they are and if they raise their level
of play as teams in the playoffs they will be tough to beat. Having said that I am sure
there is a team from the Valley or Rideau St Lawrence that could very well prove me wrong. That is what is great about the playoffs in any league.
But I defer to you the expert.

Sober Living Housing After Treatment Linked to Fewer Relapses
New research from Johns Hopkins suggests that providing sober living contingent on staying clean after detoxification for inner city opiate abusers reduces their chances for relapse within 6 months. Relapse rates for people leaving detox centers is 65-80% within the first month, but sober living along with intensive outpatient therapy increases the chance for abstinence by 10 times. Sober living alone, without outpatient treatment, increases the chance of abstinence by 5 times. Either way, this could be a great alternative to the traditional, expensive inpatient treatment.
According to newswire.com, the study utilized 243 opioid dependent people in Baltimore, who completed a 3 to 14 day detoxification. One group was provided sober living, contingent upon their remaining sober, while another group also received the same housing coupled with intensive outpatient treatment, and the last group got information and referrals to community-based aftercare programs. None of the participants received opiate substitutions like methadone or buprenorphine. After one month, 60% with treatment and housing remained clean, while 44% in housing alone remained clean. Only 5% without housing remained clean. After 6 months, 50% with both housing and treatment were clean, followed by 37% with housing and 13% without housing. Furthermore, those in treatment and housing remained in the sober living facility longer. 50% of the people who remained in housing for 2 months were also clean in 6 months.
Research suggests that abstinence-dependent housing may be an effective way to prolong time users spend away from the neighborhoods and environments that triggered past drug use, and in turn, stay clean longer. Researchers claim that the cost of sober living is not cheap, but it is cheaper than the medical and social costs associated with relapse.

April 27, 2015
On Saturday, April 18, the 5th annual Big Event attracted numerous Hampden-Sydney students, faculty, and staff volunteers. This event is known as a day of service with a simple message to the community, "Thank You."
It originated at Texas A&M in 1982, and the Big Event has since spread to campuses across the country. It is now one of the largest student-led service projects in the nation. The purpose of the Big Event is to give back to the community and to thank local residents for their support throughout the year.
Service projects for the Big Event include helping neighbors with yard work and other home projects, as well as helping local community service organizations. This year, Hampden-Sydney had 200 volunteers who participated in a total of 24 projects across the Farmville and Prince Edward area, a 19% increase in student involvement from last year.
Over the years, students and faculty members have worked to provide services for the FACES food pantry, where food was distributed to several hundred families; the SPCA; the YMCA; College Church; the White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue; the Woodlands assisted living community; roadways in Prince Edward; and Habitat sites.
This year's work included a new project for the Clean Virginia's Waterways campaign which is an award-winning, statewide, nonprofit organization located on the campus of Longwood University. This organization is dedicated to citizen stewardship of Virginia's rivers, streams, bays, beaches and groundwater. Under the direction of Dr. Rachel Goodman, Assistant Professor of Biology, Hampden-Sydney students assembled rain barrels which can be attached to down spouts to capture roof runoff and can help control storm water runoff, which causes erosion and degrades streams.

ALP alumni celebrate their reunion and graduation.
CSUEB American Language Program gives its alumni one final goodbye
- June 15, 2012 10:00am
Since 2010, the American Language Program (ALP) at California State University, East Bay has given its alumni a graduation of its own, dubbed "GradFest." In calendar year 2012, 145 former ALP students will graduate with CSUEB bachelor's degrees or master's degrees. The event gives a chance for matriculated international students on the verge of graduation to reunite with their former classmates, to congratulate each other, and to recognize how far they have come since those first days on the CSUEB campus.
ALP is an intensive English language program which allows the students to study and become familiar with English before matriculating as full-time students of the University.
GradFest 2012, which took place on May 17th, was a poignant if informal affair. The audience was spotted in the front with the construction paper mortarboards of the graduates and in the back with smiling friends, teachers, and well-wishers. Students addressed their fellow alumni expressing sentiments ranging from thankful to hopeful, but always grateful for their education and experiences.
The general sense of camaraderie was obvious as evidenced by the hugging and laughter emanating from the crowd. "In a sense, they grew up together," said Brian Cook, the Associate Vice President of the Division of Continuing and International Education, "They've taken classes with each other, and many of them paid bills for the first time together."
The optimism of the graduates could be summarized by one of the speakers, Anna Lee, who said, "I might face huge problems [in the future], but I believe it's going to be okay if I do my best, if I'm not aftraid of trying, and if I enjoy everything in every place in every moment as I did when I was in ALP at Cal State East Bay."
The ALP alumni will graduate with the rest of the University at the ceremonies which take place Friday, June 15th to Sunday, June 17th.

What a terrible article. Feel like i just read a post on the trade proposal forum
Zajac - First of all he has a no trade clause so that crushes any hope of a trade. Second of all Zajac right now its pretty much the Devils best player and it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever to trade him under almost any circumstances.
Stastny - My argument for Stastny is simple. If the Avs can't afford his price tag. We probably can't either. I know the financial situation of the Avs is different than ours however, we can't be dumping 6 to 7 million (that's the rumored ask from the Stastny camp) on a marginal 1st line center when we have so many other holes to fill elsewhere.
Couturier - Makes sense in theory but as mentioned in the article you will create holes elsewhere by trading for Couturier (Eberle?). So its a sideways move at best and will require more rebuilding and waiting for the team to get better at other positions.
Spezza - He can't play with Michalek anymore. He can't play with Ryan. Injuries have caught up with him and he hasn't shown that he's back at the level that made him one of the best centers in the league the last few years. He's on pace for 64 pts and a -33 this season. Oh yeah he makes 7 million and is a UFA at the end of next season. We shouldn't be giving up significant assets for a guy like that.
