These strawberry banana cupcakes came to life for two reasons:
1. Strawberry banana is my favorite yogurt flavor and I wanted a cupcake that went with Greek yogurt frosting.
2. The farmers' market was flooded with amazing looking fresh strawberries!
The strawberry banana cupcakes were my kind of cupcake – moist, dense, and not overly sweet. My only disappointment with them was that they tasted too much like banana cake. While you could taste the strawberry, the flavor wasn't as prominent as I would have liked. Next time, I might cut the banana in half and add even more berries.
Strawberry Banana Cupcake Recipe
This recipe is an adaptation of my grandma's easy banana cupcakes.
If you've tried this recipe, please RATE THE RECIPE and leave a comment below!
Strawberry Banana Cupcakes
- 1/2 C butter 1 stick
- 1 C sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C Greek yogurt you could also use sour cream
- 1 t baking soda
- 2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 C mashed bananas about 2 bananas
- 1 C macerated strawberries
Cream butter and sugar.
Mix in eggs, yogurt, flour, baking soda, and vanilla.

Recipe Notes
The Frosting
I topped the cupcakes with Greek yogurt frosting.
The Cupcake Liners
When I first began cupcake blogging, I used only plain white cupcake liners, but I quickly developed a sizable liner collection. I get super excited whenever I see a style I haven't seen before. My friend Christina bought me the liners shown above as a surprise gift. Despite my lot of liners, I had never seen this pattern! They are so cute and appropriately came in strawberry and banana colors! Thanks, Christina! Sorry you didn't get to eat any of the cupcakes baked in them. Luckily, I have some liners left, so you can try one next time.

Albufeira is a city in Algarve, in the south of Portugal.Once a small fishing village it has now developed to be a very touristic area. However many holiday makers return year after year due to the lovely beaches, very good climate, proximity of many restaurants, bars and pubs. The town is divided into 2 parts, 'The Old Town' and the 'STRIP', or newer town, including Montechoro, Arias de Sao João.
For free holiday maps of Old Town Albufeira and The Strip, download from www.freemaps.net. Or pickup your FREEMAPS when you enter Albufeira. All places in the 'FREEMAPS' guides are anonymously checked to offer very good food and service, at reasonable prices, by the editors who have lived in Portugal over 30 years.
Get in
The train station is 6 kilometres from the centre. There is a city bus that can take you into town. Trains to Lagos & Faro(about one hour each). The train to Lisbon takes 3-4 hours. The is now a rapid train that takes 2 1/2 hours. A student fare costs €17.
Long distance buses, however, go the city centre.
Get Around
Walk to the beach Fishermans beach in the Old Town is a the most famous. And Fishermen's boats are still pulled in every morning. The beach side is lined with restaurants, bars etc.
By car
There is a great variety of beaches in Albufeira.
There are many restaurants to choose from, as Portugal has a long tradition on good food and twice-a-day hot meals. There are also fast-food or self-service restaurants.
Nightclubs, cafes and snack bars are abundant. Since 2009 the prices have been reduced considerably due to the European recession. Everything is a bit more expensive in the discos at night, so many holiday makers will drink in the bars and go to the disco after 1am (they are open to 6am in the summer!)
Colina do Mar, Rua Maria Teresa Semedo Azevedo, 3, Albufeira 8200-155, Portugal
Get Out
Lisbon: From the Old Town to the railway station the easiest route is by taxi (it's 6km). This can be bought quite reasonably for 8-10 Euros, get your hotel to ring one for you, journey time is 5-10mins. The first train leaves for Lisbon at 07.19am and this takes 2h 40m, other services take 3h 20m so be sure to check when the trains arrive/depart. Definately book tickets in advance, www.cp.pt (there's an English version, just click the flag). Return journey cost 32 Euros. It's well worth the money and you see lots of Portugal on the way.

Asus EAH 4830 Review
It is that time of year once again; all of the top manufacturers are releasing their best games in time for the rush. You want to play them so bad but your good old standby 6600 agp graphics card is all you have left after your latest card died. You have spent all your money on gifts for family and have no where near enough for the new x2 series of cards. There are other choices out there that can give you a decent bang for your buck don't give up just yet.
The Asus EAH 4830 could be your best choice it is a very cost effective card. The 4830 has the same chip as a 4850 it is just under clocked this may be the answer to your prayers. You can easily buy this card and still have enough for one of the block buster games out this quarter.
Closer Look:
As with all of the Asus cards the first thing you will notice is the gamer chick on the front and asus is known for their bright color scheme and the Asus EAH 4830 is no exception. The box also lists all of the standard programs that Asus includes such as gamer osd, smart doctor, and drivers
Included in your packaging is a dvi to vga converter for users that still have analog ports. There is also a molex to 6 pin PCI-E converter for ones that don't have the newer modular power supplies. Also included is component cabling to hook this up to your hdtv which is a nice bonus. Of course last but not least you get your driver/software disk and both a hard copy and a cd copy of your user manual.
Let's keep going and see this card more closely.

If you really want, you could go watch ONA version to get some more idea.
Episode 00 is basically like an episode that shows a scene that probably belong in the middle of the series.
It's main purpose is to make people think what the anime is suppose to be about while showing what the anime has to offer.
Meaning, you don't really need to watch episode 00 if you don't wanted to and will still be able to get most info from the regular episodes.

I thought the original OVA was some sort of Abenobashi with Ikuhara-ish touches. The five mini-eps come together into their own thing pretty well.
The director was reportedly inspired by Hosoda to work on anime. Hosoda worked quite a bit on Utena, and his superflat monogram has some similarities with the show, but Kyousogiga is more theatrical and zany. Some of the colour design and fast-cutting between long shots and close-ups reminds me of Kenji Nakamura, actually.
It's a pretty fun boiler-plate which manages to find itself amidst all the blending and doesn't lose its freshness with the context given in the mini series, but gains from it. I hope they can maintain this balance for the TV show; deciding to do three ~7min episodes per week instead of a single ~21min one seems like a wise choice.

I like it! though I've no idea what happened, there's the gist that Koto is somehow trapped in a world with her brothers after looking into a rabbit's eyes?.... really like animes that don't info dump you but give you hints of what's going on as it they go.
and of course, the colours and just pure fun of imagination is totally rampant! hope the series will lift off and live up to expectation.

This so called episode 00 is merely a broadcast version of the first Kyousogiga ONA (from December 2011). It's what started it all.
Everything's pretty much the same except the score. They changed some of the BGM (the original score was better, btw).
Don't know how this fits with the rest of the series (if at all, since this was aways meant to be a stand alone piece).

If only my MMORPG is like this..say final fantasy...it will be very enjoyable...all the movement, free fighting, flying, all the super ridiculous enemy, it will be fun to play...
Ehem....anyway, the episode is fine, but if only they do it from the beginning so the viewer dont lost, or at least provide some sort of flashback....

Anyway, pretty good episode. Myōe 1.0 (Inari) and Lady Koto make a really cute couple, and a pretty interesting family with Myōe 2.0, Kurama and Yase.

wonder if they would have used 1 chapter lasting a whole episode they could have made a 24 episodes serie
but this fast paced rate of 3 chapters in 1 episode is not bad at all, compared to have the story get pointlessy stretched, really hope this rate will continue in the next episodes
great first episode, they managed to put in it an introduction, development and a little conclusion, feels so much like a monthly manga pace xD i wouldn't minds having all the other episodes being this episodic
so more or less the story from this first episode is about the influence the myoe family had on the story's multiverse

The RS:X Worlds will end tomorrow in Buzios, Brazil, but the Israeli-Lee El Korsiz is already celebrating another title, the third in a row. With light winds, the Race Committee did only two of the three races scheduled for today and Lee won the first and was 18th in the second, which became her discard. With this result, she opens 21 points lead that secures her Gold medal.
"I have 21 points over Maayan, which is enough to secure the championship. I am very happy, it's my third consecutive title and now I'll have to do one more tattoo," she said showing a big star tattoo that represents each one of her victories.
Among men, the Brazilian Ricardo Winicki, Bimba, made the second best average of the day, finishing second and sixth. He returned to fifth place overall, tied with Byron Kokkalanis GRE third, and Nimrod Maschia ISR in fourth.
"Being back in the top ten in the world is great. I'm feeling good, feeling at home. On the second race I chose the wrong side, doing the first rounding in 18th, but I managed to recover. The Windsurf is very fast and it's not possible to do a match racing at the medal race. You have to sail like it's the first race of the championship, go out there and win," he said.
If the day was good for Bimba, Dutchman Dorian van Rijsselberge, the Olympic champion in London, cannot say the same. He could not sail well in light winds and dropped to second place, nine points behind the British Nick Dempsey, the silver medallist in London 2012.
"In the first race I went to the left side and the wind got stronger from the right. In the second race I managed to make a good start and went to the right side, and didn't see the pressure that came from the left, which resulted again in a bad race," he said.
Dempsey says he is comfortable for the last day. "Today the wind was weaker, which makes things slower. The wind was shifting again, very demanding tactically. For the medal race, is good to do the right thing at the right time, without much planning," said the Brit that can be the first two time world champion of RS: X. The Englishman won the competition in 2009, racing at home in Weymouth.
Tomorrow, the medal race is scheduled for 12pm (1500GMT) at Buzios Vela Clube, in Maguinhos Beach. Only the top ten men and women will race. This is the most important race of the championship and has double score, cannot be discarded and its result will be used as the first tiebreaker. The other sailors will go to the water too, to do a single fleet race, after the medal race.
Men's fleet after ten races and one discard
1. Nick Dempsey, GBR, 26 points2. Dorian Van Rijsselberge, NED, 35 p3. Byron Kokkalanis, GRE, 41 p4. Nimrod Mashiah, ISR, 41 p5. Ricardo Winick Santos, BRA, 41 p
Women's fleet after ten races and one discard:
1. Lee-El Korsiz, ISR, 28 points2. Maayan Davidovich, ISR, 49 p3. Bryony Shaw, GBR, 52 p4. Charline Picon, FRA, 63 p5. Tuuli Petaja-Siren, FIN, 65 p

Car Deals
Car Deals: July 2012
With so many choices on the market, it can be hard for shoppers to pick the right new car. Our reviews and buying information can help narrow down those choices, but many automotive purchasing decisions come down to interest rates, monthly payments and pricing. That's why we've searched through newly released July incentives, listing some of the best deals available this month on several of our favorite cars.
Dodge Challenger
The aggressively styled Dodge Challenger has been a huge hit with car shoppers interested in a muscular engine and an eye-catching design. Throughout July, it's also a better deal than usual thanks to two special offers from Chrysler. The first, which is available to qualified shoppers who finance through Ally, boasts interest rates as low as zero percent for up to 36 months. Cash buyers will appreciate Chrysler's second offer, which provides up to $1,500 back for shoppers who purchase a 2012 Challenger this month. Like several other automakers, Chrysler also offers a $500 cash allowance to active or reserve members of the U.S. military, which is applicable to all Challenger models except the wild, high-performance SRT8.
Ford Mustang
Several strong incentives make the already bargain-priced Mustang an even better deal in July. The best offer is for qualified buyers looking to finance a 2012 Mustang GT, as Ford is touting zero percent interest for up to 60 months plus $1,000 cash back. Buyers looking to finance a new Mustang will also find a great deal, with Ford advertising up to $4,000 cash back on the V8-powered Mustang GT. The automaker is also offering an incentive for shoppers who would prefer to lease, touting an attractive 24-month term with $2,668 down and payments from $269 on its base-level Mustang V6 with an automatic transmission.
Honda Accord
Honda is advertising several lease and finance deals throughout July on its 2012 Accord sedan, which remains one of the most popular vehicles sold in the United States. According to the automaker, 36-month lease deals are available with monthly payments starting at just $199 after $1,999 at signing. For shoppers who would rather avoid a down payment, Honda is also offering lease payments as low as $250 with nothing down. And, like all nearly all of Honda's models in July, the Accord is available with 0.9 percent interest for up to 60 months for buyers looking to finance.
Kia Optima
Kia's handsome Optima is popular with car shoppers interested in taking a break from the usual choices-and through July it's even more tempting, thanks to several manufacturer-backed incentives. According to the automaker, qualified buyers interested in financing a 2012 Optima can get interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months. That's an unusual deal on a recently redesigned car like the Optima. Kia is also offering lease rates as low as $189 per month after $2,499 at signing for a base-level LX model with the sedan's standard 2.4-liter engine. Like many other Kia models, the Optima is also available with owner loyalty cash, which promises $1,000 to shoppers who trade in their old Kia for a new Optima.
Subaru Outback
Although it's almost a crossover, Subaru's mid-size Outback station wagon marries all-weather traction and capability with carlike fuel efficiency and effortless handling. Through July, Subaru is also offering several good incentives on the Outback for shoppers looking to finance or lease. According to the automaker, qualified buyers interested in financing can get interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months. For shoppers who prefer to lease, Subaru is offering monthly payments as low as $279 per month for up to 42 months after $1,979 at signing-a strong offer compared to both crossovers and rival station wagons.
What it means to you: Shoppers searching for a new car can find several great deals throughout July.

Digital diva: S1m0ne is an unnatural woman
It's pretty obvious that the brilliant mind behind S1m0ne is the same one that was responsible for The Truman Show. Directing this time as well as producing and writing, Andrew Niccol has given us another satire of pop culture that's at once perceptive and preceptive. It's about our obsession with entertainment and what some people will do to feed our hunger for it.
Niccol was ahead of the curve with Truman's take on the reality show mania that didn't become really intense until a couple years after its release. This time his subject is "synthespians," or "virtual actors"– "vactors," someone calls them for short.
It's not a totally new concept. We've been seeing dead actors in commercials for years; actors are used to fight monsters that will be inserted later; and last year's Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which was classified as an animated film, used a totally simulated cast (you might say "simulcast," except that has another meaning).
Well, Final was just the beginning. We knew those actors weren't real, but Niccol asks us to accept a vactor so realistic she becomes a huge star. And no one but her director knows she exists only in a computer.
The director in question is Viktor Taransky (Al Pacino), a terminally arty type still living on memories of having worked with John Cassavetes in New York. He touts his "two Academy Award nominations" without mentioning they were for short subjects. And when he has to deal with temperamental divas like Nicola Anders (Winona Ryder, the best she's been in years), "a supermodel with a SAG card," he longs for the day when moguls had stars under contract and controlled their lives.
"You're nostalgic for an era you weren't even born in," says Elaine (Catherine Keener), his ex-wife and the head of the studio he's working for– or was working for until Sunrise Sunset fell apart and she had to fire him.
Viktor's career is saved by Hank Aleno, a dying computer geek who's developed software, Simulation One, that's the answer to Viktor's problem with out-of-control divas. Nine months later the movie premieres and a star who was never born is born: Simone.
Her acceptance by the public exceeds Viktor's wildest expectations, but the longer the deception continues, the harder it becomes for him to end it. For a moment it seems as if he will fall in love with his own creation, but that soon passes. Since the computer essentially converts Viktor's words and actions into Simone's, you might say she represents his feminine side, and more might have been done with that idea.
Late in the film, Niccol gives in to two formulaic impulses, but by then it's too late to do much harm. One is the dogged journalist (Pruitt Taylor Vince, assisted by Jason Schwartzman) determined to learn the truth about Simone, the other is the possibility that Simone will be a catalyst to reunite Viktor and Elaine romantically.
Pacino continues the return to form that began with Insomnia, but Keener, so good this year in Lovely & Amazing and Full Frontal, is neither hard enough to run a studio nor soft enough as a love interest. It's as if she never really grasps the character.
As for Simone, well, what can you say? I might point out that she doesn't do her own singing; it's dubbed by Mary J. Blige. Stick around after the credits for a making-of scene that reveals a little bit about how Simone works.
When word of this project first began circulating, rumors spread through Hollywood that the days of live actors were numbered. That may be true, but the numbers are at least four or five digits. From what we see of Simone, she still can't interact closely with living co-stars (although in an all-digital cast that shouldn't be a problem), and the instant proficiency of the technologically challenged Viktor is hardly believable.
But S1m0ne isn't supposed to be a documentary. It comes close enough to credibility to make it arguably the best Hollywood satire since Sunset Boulevard, and it wouldn't be a bad idea if some actors took it as a wake-up call.

Douglas Wilder, in full Lawrence Douglas Wilder, (born January 17, 1931, Richmond, Virginia, U.S.), American politician, the first popularly elected African American governor in the United States.
Wilder received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Virginia Union University (1951) and a law degree from Howard University (1959). He pursued a legal and political career in Richmond, Virginia, and served as a director of the Richmond chapter of the National Urban League. In 1969 he became the first African American since Reconstruction (1865–77) to win a seat in the Virginia Senate. Wilder, a Democrat, acquired a reputation as a moderate, and in 1985 he was elected state lieutenant governor, the first African American to win statewide office in Virginia. Nominated by the Democratic Party for governor in 1989, he narrowly defeated the Republican candidate with 50.2 percent of the vote. He declared his candidacy for the 1992 Democratic Party nomination for the presidency of the United States, but he withdrew before the primaries began. Constitutionally barred from running for a second consecutive term as governor, Wilder left office in 1994. In 2004 he was elected mayor of Richmond. Wilder decided not to seek reelection in 2008, and he was succeeded by Dwight C. Jones later that year.

Black Xmas (UK - DVD R2)
Reviewer Scott McKenzie wants to deck the halls with your guts... Fa la la la la...
After murdering his mother and her lover, Billy Lenz was committed to an asylum for the criminally insane. Every Christmas he tries to escape and return to his childhood home, and this year he succeeds. His old house is now home to a sorority of girls who have to come to terms with their own problems as they are slowly picked off one by one by the killer.
I'd usually wait until the 'Extras' section below to sum up the interviews with the cast and crew, but one interview with director Glen Morgan is particularly revealing. Black Christmas is his second movie as director, following the commercially unsuccessful Willard. It's clear that the performance of his first movie had a huge emotional impact on him and this is his attempt to get 'back in the game'. However, he doesn't even attempt to hide his contempt for the subject matter and the people who like teen slasher movies. He complains that the studio wanted 'more jack-in-the-box moments, which I f***ing hate but which the audience want', which is surprising coming from the man who wrote Final Destination one and three.
This obvious dislike for his assignment is clear in many aspects of Black Christmas. For a start, the running time is a mercifully brief seventy-nine minutes, but this means that credits aside, there's not even an hour and a quarter's worth of action. Now, I'm all for short movies—too many recent movies drag on for over two hours for my liking—but Black Christmas has the distinct air of being made by someone who just wanted to get it done and go home, like a student being told to write a thousand-word essay and handing in eight-hundred words of waffle and saying 'will this do?'.
There are some decent ideas in the screenplay, most of all the flashbacks to the history of the killer, but they're not developed far enough and the story switches uncomfortably between a straightforward slasher movie and something more akin to a mystery tale. There are also plenty of moments that I would have thought were clever red herrings in a more accomplished movie, but here I wasn't sure if they were red herrings or just more dodgy moments in the screenplay. Another thought occurs: if they are red herrings, is Glen Morgan showing off his knowledge of genre conventions, or is he throwing in these moments because of his contempt for the people who enjoy these movies?
As a remake of the 1974 movie of the same name (which I haven't seen, for your information), it also seems to have suffered from a similar problem that befell the 2006 remake of When a Stranger Calls. Receiving calls from the killer on a landline is scary when you realise the calls are coming from inside the house, but in the age of mobile phones, some suspense is lost when you realise that the call could be coming from anywhere. Another problem is that by establishing mobile phones as a plot device, we have to put up with a scene of girls sitting around tapping away on their phones—not exactly white-knuckle excitement.
The girls all do their jobs adequately, which means looking pretty and screaming at appropriate times, but they're not really given a lot of material that allows them to show their potential (in particular Mary Elizabeth Winstead who has since gone on to better things with Die Hard 4.0 and Death Proof). Our own DVDActive reader ShareDaddy commented on the news item for this title that there's not enough action or skin, which is a pretty good summary for a genre title that doesn't deliver on the audience's expectations. The story plods along without urgency, occasionally being given a kick up the backside by some plot development but at less than eighty minutes long, there's just not enough movie here at all to recommend watching it.
In spite of all my complaints above, Black Christmas is a good-looking movie. There's some interesting framing choices and the lighting is probably the highlight of the whole feature (no pun intended). I may not have enjoyed Morgan's storytelling abilities but that doesn't mean he can't move the camera around and director of photography Phil Linzey had plenty of work to do when the lights get turned out in the house. Needless to say, it's a movie with a lot of dark scenes, but the quality of the picture doesn't suffer, with vibrant colours and no obvious problems in the large sections of black on screen.
This release of Black Christmas comes with a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. For a horror movie, there are an awful lot of scenes that involve nothing more than people standing around talking, so there's not a huge amount to write home about but at least the dialogue is clear. There aren't many moments that are accompanied by a string section telling you to jump out of your seat, the director instead uses the scares as an opportunity to start the music, which while not exactly defying the standards of horror movie scores, is acceptable enough and is sufficiently loud through the surround speakers.
In addition to the director bemoaning his lot in life, the featurette titled 'A Filmmaker's Journey' also includes interviews with Morgan's wife (who stars in the movie) and Dean Friss, who plays a major part in the movie but also doesn't seem to enjoy his job in the movies he's made in the past. A second featurette focuses on the implications of remaking a movie that helped to define a genre and includes more behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the same sessions as the previous featurette.
Eight deleted scenes are available, which are either just slightly extended versions of scenes that made the final cut and drawn-out moments that would have slowed the pace of the movie even more. Most interesting of all are the three alternate endings, which I was expecting to be slightly altered cuts of the same ending but in reality they are significantly different. One ends the movie on a more ambiguous note, one ends on a cliff-hanger and the other (which was included in the US theatrical cut) is more action-packed. There is also the option to watch the whole movie with the US theatrical ending, and if you're going to check out this release you should consider choosing this option.
It was a tough decision to pick the scores I've given Black Christmas. It's a fairly tame and inoffensive slasher movie, but Glen Morgan's admission of his dislike of this type of movie has the strange effect of allowing the extra features to reduce rather than increase the viewer's appreciation of the movie. If you're watching the movie with the US theatrical ending or you're catching it on TV late one night in the week before Christmas, you can probably add an extra point on for the feature. As it stands, it's difficult to recommend Black Christmas in its current state on a full-price DVD.

I still can't believe that someone would want to see this. My curiosity got the better of me and I regret spending the time on a Saturday night to it.

I actually liked this but I had seen it before the original. And while I agree the original is better. Black Xmas is a pretty decent slasher film and to be honest it's better than most horror films these days. Worth a rent.

For a country that pioneered the revolution in technology, the U.S. continues to be an also-ran in broadband Internet access and in the price users pay for broadband.
And despite assurances that affordable broadband access for rural communities continues to have "high priority" through the USDA, the programs have been mired in paperwork and bureaucracy, with millions of dollars being spent on systems not in rural areas, duplicating already existing services in major urban areas.
A recently-released study by the Organization for Economic Development (OECD) shows 2006 ended with the U.S. ranking 25th in broadband penetration worldwide and that it dropped from 13th to 15th in OECD countries. Citizens in the world's leading broadband countries also pay far less — below $1 per Mbps (megabits per second) of service. In the U.S., rates average almost 10 times that.
"Access to high speed broadband is critical for economic development, community growth, and individual advancement," Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., said at a House agriculture subcommittee hearing to review rural broadband programs operated by the USDA's Rural Utilities Service.
"For many rural Americans, affordability and accessibility to high speed broadband are out of reach. As we work on the next farm bill, it's important that we open up the information superhighway to all."
Deployment of high speed Internet service is "one of the most important factors for the economic development and future success of our rural communities," and "has the potential to slow and possibly reverse the population exodus from our rural areas," said Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo.
Yet, testimony from industry leaders painted a picture of failure to come anywhere near the 10-year goal set forth in the 1996 Telecommunications Act of achieving 45 Mbps in 86 million households by the end of 2006.
The 2002 farm bill provided funding for rural broadband programs to improve access through the USDA's Rural Utilities Service. But while access in urban regions has mushroomed, with connections via cable, DSL, or area Wi-Fi systems, a major complaint has been that too little has been done in rural areas, and that there is too little information at both national and state levels on the progress of these technologies.
"There is embarrassingly poor data on the adoption, diffusion, deployment, and utilization of these advanced technologies throughout rural America, and broadband adoption rates and utilization patterns are poorly assessed," Jack Geller, president of Minnesota's Center of Rural Policy and Development, told the House subcommittee.
"It has become clear," he said, "that without the advanced telecommunications tools and resources to adequately compete in the national and global marketplaces, businesses and industries throughout rural America will continue to be at a serious disadvantage."
Tom Simmons, senior vice president of public policy for Midcontinent Communications, said further that RUS loans "are largely being used to subsidize broadband in areas already served by companies that have deployed broadband services without a government subsidy, using private risk capital." And he noted, "Because the process lacks transparency, taxpayer funds are being misspent on projects that are not extending broadband service to rural communities."

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. —Romans 1:14,15
That is why I say that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is something more than making us the happiest people in the Easter parade. Are we to listen to a cantata, join in singing "Up from the Grave He Arose," smell the lilies and go home and forget it? No, certainly not!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ lays hold on us with all the authority of sovereign obligation. It says that the Christian church is to go and make disciples—to go and make disciples of all nations. The moral obligation of the resurrection of Christ is the missionary obligation—the responsibility and privilege of personally carrying the message, of interceding for those who go, of being involved financially in the cause of world evangelization.

Durarara - I watched half the episodes in the season....slow show/not my genre
Gosick - OMFGGGG THIS IS ONE HELLA ANNOYING PIECE OF S**T SHOW -.- the 1st few...maybe 10 eps were ok? BUT THEN OMFGGG KUJO IS JUST SO GODAM ANNOYING (IM SORRY) too cheezy of an anime for me annnnnnd eps 20-25 all i can say is that it's the 1st anime i've decided to finish that I REALLY HATE; THE WORST
nothing else aside from above 2, i just tend to watch 3 series at a time so i don't run into a clusterf**k of a show and lose my sanity
I almost dropped Gosick about half-way through because I too was getting annoyed with Kujo's perpetual indecisiveness. I thought things kind of picked up afterwards, though, and ended up really liking the show.
just wandering about...
Hundreds. I filter my Anime weekly. I add dozens to my list then watch a few episodes of each series and rate them using my own specifications of likes and dislikes. Depending on the rating they get added to my chart or filed away as crap. The ongoing series have a rotating schedule and I try to keep particular genres running together. So after 25 years of watching Anime there are hundreds that I never finished.
The first anime I ever watched was Naruto, and I watched all of that and all of the episodes of Shippuden that were out at that point during my first semester of college. I kept up with Shippuden for awhile, but then it ended up too full of filler arcs, and I felt like the plot was just getting absurd and not really likely to resolve itself anytime soon, so I'm not really watching it anymore.
I have a bunch of half watched anime.
Eye shield
Durarara - Episode 12 i think
Black Rock Shooter - Episode 1 lol
Code Breaker - Episode 6
Full Metal Panic - 2nd season
Hayate the combat butler - Episode 27 on season 1
Shakugan no Shana - Season 1
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
I cant seem to finish Neon Genesis, I will watch like 2 episodes in a row max and then just stop watching again for some reason.
Mayo Chiki (Didn't like at all after 6 episodes)
Infinite Stratos (Skipped to last episode after watching 5 eps)
Kimi Kiss Pure Rouge (I heard this was a childhood friend romance anime and when I saw the MC go out with someone else I skipped to the end)
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia (It didn't follow the manga which I realised half way through)
Fairy Tail (Stopped at 100 eps)
Bleach (Stopped at 310 eps)
There's probably a few more but I don't remember them.
i stopped watching gankutsuou, and will probably never continue it.
cuz that shit irritated me,,,
sakamichi no appollon until episode 3, this irritated me as well.
Stopped watching Mirai Nikki after episode 8 when he transfered to a new school and almost instantly made a fool out of himself like a class A Cliche.
This profile ain't dead. However, it will go to mode rebuilding. :3
I've pretty much dropped this one.
I was so very disappointed that the sad scene in ep 2 and 3 was handled so very badly. It wasn't sad, I didn't even feel like tearing up.
Watched one more ep of it and it just became weird.
Long list:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Hunter x Hunter 2011 (I'm 18 or something behind, got bored or something)

Sword Art Online (Got boring in the elf arc)
Bakuman. 2 (I took a break at ep 17 or 16, not becaus I got bored or anything. But when I got back to it I was confused and didn't know why stuff was happening, so I kept it on a break :P)

Hidan no Aria (bored at ep 6)
Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls (bored at ep 5)

Fishing Line Recycling
monofilament fishing line can wreak havoc on the marine environment
by entangling, injuring and killing marine birds and aquatic
wildlife. It can also cost boaters thousands of dollars when
it gets caught in boat propellers and other gear.
The New
Jersey Coastal Management Program is partnering with the BoatU.S.
Foundation and the BoatU.S. Angler Program to collect and
recycle monofilament fishing line. The partnership has distributed
collection bins and signs to the following locations:
The bins
are made of sturdy PVC pipe with an opening near the top in
which to place used fishing line. Hooks, bobbers and other
debris should be removed from the line before placement in
the bin. No other trash or recyclable material should be placed
in these bins. Please discard other material responsibly.
The host
facility collects the material from the bins and ships it
in postage paid boxes to Berkeley Conservation for recycling.
Berkeley will send a replacement shipping box to the host
All boaters,
fishermen, marina owners and others are encouraged to collect
and recycle used monofilament fishing line in order to keep
it out of the marine environment and help prevent unnecessary
harm to aquatic life and personal watercraft.
All available
bins have been distributed. However, any marina, boat yard
or other facility interested in participating can build a
bin for about $25 worth of PVC pipe. Click
here for the list of necessary materials and specs for
building the bins (pdf). Click
here for the directions for installation (pdf). After
initial investment in the bin, participation in the recycling
program should not cost the marina any additional funds. The
cost of shipping the material is paid for by the recycler.
But the savings to the environment, wildlife, and boaters
is immeasurable.

More Evidence Painkillers Lower Colon Cancer Risk
A new study adds to growing evidence that regular use of painkillers like aspirin or ibuprofen may reduce a person's risk of developing colon or rectal cancers - sometimes by as much as 50 percent.
This latest report also shows that people with a family history of colon cancer - who are therefore at higher risk for the disease - also benefit from the pain relievers.
"The (risk) reductions that we saw here are not inconsequential," said Dr. Elizabeth Ruder of the National Cancer Institute, the study's lead author.
"But we're not at the point that one could make a public health recommendation" based on the findings, she added.
Colon and rectal cancers are diagnosed in about 48 out of every 100,000 people in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute.
Together, these "colorectal" cancers are the third-leading cause of deaths from cancer.
Previous studies have found that aspirin is tied to a smaller risk of colon cancer.
The current study expanded on earlier research by including larger numbers of people and assessing where in the colon cancers occurred.
Using questionnaire data from more than 300,000 adults, Ruder's group analyzed how often people took any of 19 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) pain medications, which include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen sodium (Aleve), sulindil (Clinoril), and others.
The observed drop in cancer risk varied depending on how often people took the painkillers and the type of cancer in question.
Overall, taking any of the NSAID drugs was associated with a 20 percent drop in the risk of colorectal cancer over 10 years.
And the more frequently people took a drug, the less likely they were to be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer.
Daily use of an NSAID was associated with a 28 percent drop in colon cancer risk, for instance, whereas monthly use was associated with only a 14 percent reduction in risk.
A similar pattern was seen among people with immediate family members who had been diagnosed with colon cancer: Daily users of NSAIDs saw a 28 percent drop in their risk of colon or rectal cancer, and weekly users had an 11 percent decline.
When the researchers looked at the site in the colon where cancers appeared, the drugs' effects were more pronounced, but distinctly different for aspirin versus non-aspirin NSAIDs.
Those who took aspirin daily, for example, had a 62 percent drop in rectal cancer risk, but their risk of colon cancer did not change.
In contrast, non-aspirin NSAIDs, taken daily, were linked to a 56 percent drop in risk of colon cancers farthest from the rectum (a region called the proximal colon), whereas the risk of rectal cancer was unaffected.
Ruder said it's unclear why there's a difference between the type of drug and the risk of developing a particular type of colorectal cancer.
One of the limitations of the study, the authors note, is that they didn't monitor how long people took the drugs.
The researchers also caution that they did not weigh the potential benefits of the drugs against their drawbacks.
"There's an elevated risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds" from taking aspirin, said Amanda Cross, an investigator at the National Cancer Institute and another of the study's authors.
"We're certainly not advocating that people take aspirin to reduce the risk of colon cancer," she told Reuters Health.
The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
Dr. Andrew Chan, a gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital who was not involved in the study, said it would be premature to offer any recommendations.
"I think what remains to be addressed," Chan said, "is, 'are there specific types of colon cancer that may be most likely to benefit from aspirin use, and who are the best patients to take aspirin?'"
Fewer studies supporting the use of non-aspirin NSAIDS in reducing colon cancer risk have been done, he added.
"This is an area of a lot of controversy," Chan told Reuters Health.
But the study is useful in backing up what doctors are beginning to realize, he said. "These are compelling data, which support (the idea) that aspirin use reduces the risk of colorectal cancer."

Four people were hurt after a tire flew off a Lexus and crashed through the windshield of a Manhattan-bound commuter bus on a highway in New Jersey Monday morning, authorities said.
The bus was carrying 50 people along southbound Route 17 from Kingston, N.Y., to Port Authority at about 7:30 a.m. when the tire flew off the northbound Lexus, authorities said.
Police said a 49-year-old man sitting directly behind the bus driver had a severe head injury and was in critical condition. Two other passengers and the driver had minor injuries.
Passenger John Ditmars, who was heading to Manhattan from Accord, N.Y., said he was seated in the front row next to the badly injured passenger.
"The wheel was traveling really fast -- it actually smashed the window, struck the bus driver, ricocheted off the ceiling of the bus and struck four more passengers," he said.
Chopper 4 showed the bus pulled over near a Route 17 exit ramp in Ramsey shortly after the 8 a.m. accident. The windshield near the driver's side was shattered.
Police said the wheel came from the front driver's side of the 2009 Lexus. The woman was not expected to be charged.

Suitable for: people obsessed for the roast duck unique to this part of the world
One would be inundated with choices along London Chinatown's Gerrard Street. Everything along that street was about food - provision stores, restaurants, eateries, dubious looking pubs and more restaurants. Even the HSBC branch and the lone casino along the street looked oddly out of place.
Four Seasons, which was located somewhere along the middle of the stretch had long being hailed by London guide books as the must-eat in London. As I walked down the street like I had done countless times before, I noticed that it was easy to walk pass Four Seasons without realising it - similar restaurants with rows of roast ducks hanging in the front displayed didn't help matters.
Even with seating spaces on three floors, Four Seasons was always packed regardless of when you arrived. As far as I know, it, like many of the Chinese restaurants in the vicinity, didn't accept reservations. Basically, you just turned up and hoped for the best. Thankfully, the turnaround time was relatively short. If you weren't part of the queue that was standing in the open, the wait time rarely exceeded half an hour.
Four Seasons was of course renowned for its roast duck. Not the crispy Peking duck with its dried skin and hard flesh but the good old roast duck prepared over an open fire. Frankly, I had no idea why anyone would even go for the Peking duck. I would prefer a slice of juicy and tender roast duck with glistering fat anytime.
It was said that Chef Heston of Fat Duck, who specialised in molecular gastronomy, failed to recreate the famed London roast duck. The reason, he concluded, was because all those ducks came from one particular farm in the UK and no other duck would do. Something to do with the high fat content apparently.
Anyway, we developed a sudden craving for roast duck one wintry afternoon and went down to Four Seasons that very day for a late lunch. It was a bit quieter but even then we stood in line for around 20min before being shown to our seats on the first floor. We realised immediately that being seated in the basement or the first floor was way better than the ground floor, the last thing I wanted was to have my meal with hungry people staring down at me and willing me to ask for the bill and clear the table.
We were hungry when the menu was tossed onto our table (you don't go to a Chinatown restaurant for its services) and quickly ordered a three combination (san-pin) of roast duck, roast pork and charsiew, wanton noodles, and beancurd with seafood.
The three combination (san-pin) of roast pork, charsiew and of course, the famed roast duck
The san-pin (£9) arrived first, which was surprisingly substantial and would easily satisfy two light eaters. What we liked about the san-pin was its roast pork and charsiew were relatively lean yet retain their flavour. The accompanying sauce could be less salty but it did brought out the full depth of the dish.
The main item in the dish was of course the roast duck. Thickly sliced duck with a thick layer of fat that literally melted in your mouth would be an apt description. To get the full taste of it, refrain from dipping it in the chilli oil that comes with it. In fact, it would be almost a sin to remove the skin even for the health conscious. The roast duck itself would probably warrant the time spent queuing.
Wanton noodles - a bit too bland
The wanton noodles (£7) was an afterthought really. The bland noodles was a disappointment although Four Seasons were generous with their wanton (dumplings). Each wanton was a mouthful and I suspect there was more 'flour fillers' than prawns and pork.
Seafood with beancurd - generous portion of seafood with soft beancurd
Seafood with beancurd (£9.80) turned out to be more soupy than we thought as we were expecting a more starchy concoction. Even for its price, the amount of seafood (jumbo prawns, squid and fish slices) piled into it was substantial. There was even small morsels of fishballs stuffed into the large triangularly sliced beancurd. Again, that dish alone could easily feed two light eaters.
We have clearly over-ordered but somehow managed to finished everything towards the end (we had to skip dinner afterwards). Even as we stumbled out into the open with the cold winds blowing onto our faces, we were already making mental notes of getting our roast duck at Four Seasons for our Chinese New Year dinner.

Is the duck the same at both chains? I've heard the Gerrard Street one isn't as good as Bayswater's but I've only been to the latter.

Believe me, it's all in the fats. :)
@Joe and Hannah,
Hey, thanks for stopping by! I'm not sure whether they'll ask, but if you are given the option, go for the boneless duck. Ignore your diet, please swallow the fatty skin whole, that's the whole point. :)
Let me know what you think of it. Cheers!

Good review, as an aside I think you may want to correct your comments about 'Peking' duck. Your referring to crispy duck, which is a Hong Kong/Guandong method of oohing duck and is ubiquitous in London Chinese restaurants.
Peking duck on the other hand is a roast duck and if done properly (rather than a Cantonese chef playing at it) is wonderful and includes - moist duck with skin on and off, skin separately, soup made from the carcass and a wide range of accompaniments.
If you get an opportunity give it a go

KIAMESHA LAKE — A Sullivan County town that reeled in Wal-Mart and Home Depot a decade ago and is the would-be destination of a proposed $600 million gambling resort wants to pump up the volume that it's aggressively pro-business.
KIAMESHA LAKE — A Sullivan County town that reeled in Wal-Mart and Home Depot a decade ago and is the would-be destination of a proposed $600 million gambling resort wants to pump up the volume that it's aggressively pro-business.
Supervisor Tony Cellini said the town will soon launch a new jingle — "Town of Thompson is open for business, and we want yours."
The jingle, created by Thunder 102 radio station owner Bold-Gold Media Group, eventually will be broadcast in 30-second ads in which established Thompson business owners give testimonials about "business friendly" Thompson, accompanied by jazzy piano riffs. The song was created at no charge to the town, Cellini said.
"We have a user-friendly government," Cellini said of the message he wants to get out in the coming months. "There won't be a war when you come to the Town of Thompson."
Cellini said that he recently put together a group of entrepreneurs and business leaders, intending to hold a series of meetings to generate ideas and possible business opportunities in the town.
Thompson has previously attracted a Crystal Run Healthcare facility and the private Monticello Motor Club racetrack off Route 42 on Cantrell Road.
During the recession, however, some projects fell through and activity and interest waned.
With the improving economy, Cellini said there's opportunity to develop around Exit 106 off Route 17 and other areas.
Empire Resorts, owner of the Monticello Casino & Raceway, and Concord land owners EPR Properties are expected to obtain approvals by early spring to build a multiphased gambling resort at the Concord site in Kiamesha Lake.
Cellini said the idea for a song and marketing campaign grew out of a Jan. 9 meeting that he and Councilman Richard Sush called with several business leaders. They included Empire CEO Joseph D'Amato, Crystal Run's Dr. Michelle Koury, and motor club President Ari Straus — whose auto-racing club is seeking approval on a $40 million expansion plan that could one day bring a new clubhouse, "autominiums" and professional live racing events to the track.
Robert Green, president of Robert Green Auto & Truck sales, said he thinks the group can accomplish something. Green is about to expand his truck division into a 17,000-square-foot facility near his Chevrolet dealership in Bridgeville.
The group wants to meet this winter with the president of SUNY Sullivan to ask for specific job-training programs. "I am really bullish on this," Green said. "I think it is a group of people who want to make it happen."
