aka Sonnet 135
Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy 'Will,'
And 'Will' to boot, and 'Will' in overplus;
More than enough am I that vex thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
The sea all water, yet receives rain still
And in abundance addeth to his store;
So thou, being rich in 'Will,' add to thy 'Will'
One will of mine, to make thy large 'Will' more.
Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one 'Will.'
Anyone care to postulate what the Bard meant by "murderous shame?"
I think he meant this TOTALLY differently than the world has interpreted it - which is why I read it the way I did.
A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted
Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion;
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;
A man in hue, all 'hues' in his controlling,
Much steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
And for a woman wert thou first created;
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.
aka Shakespeare Sonnets 1-13
These Shakespeare sonnets belong together So I recorded them for you today Sir William lectures a young man about The virtues of storing his seed away (I wrote that!)
It is my belief through research and reading that William Shakespeare's sonnets were written to (or about) another "Will."
This Will - as was pointed out by many - was most likely a young man he spent quite a bit of time with as Writer, Director, Owner and Operator of his own Acting troupe - a member of the cast used to portray the female characters.
As such, Shakespeare would have known this other Will for many years and seen him grow from the age of 11-13 to perhaps 30 or older.
THESE Sonnets - 1-13 - I theorize - were probably written after Shakespeare walked in on a younger Will while he was getting busy with himself. MORE likely (again - just an educated guess) - young Will was ALWAYS sneaking off to take care of some pressing business, and this motivated Shakespeare to give him "the talk."
Many an article I read pointed out how these sonnets are completely in the order Shakespeare intended them to be placed, and they put a lot of weight on the fact that certain ones were given certain numbers for a reason. I suggest that the reason there are 13 of these - and the reason they are at the front of all the sonnets, is that the age of 13 is typically the age of puberty. Since ALL the sonnets are about sex and beauty, and love (and hate) - it seems only logical to put the ones about masturbation at the beginning. But - that's just me thinking - not trying to sound scholarly at all.
edit 9/18/2011 --> I've done a lot of research since RECording these sonnets and have changed my mind about who the voice of elder poet is for these 13 sonnets. It's part of a screenplay I'm working on and although I haven't changed my interpretation at all I have placed them into an interesting scene that involves Queen Elizabeth - but most of you will have to see the movie to know what I'm taking about - maybe in about 8 or 10 years?
To me - this is Shapespear's version of "the talk." And the writers of the masturbation (sex talk) scene from Weeds thought they were being original?
There is NO denying that THIS grouping of Sonnets is ABSOLUTELY about the "evils" of masturbation.
I hope you enjoy this reading!
multiple takes - multiple voices
I stumbled today (for the first time ever) on my muse for imitating someone, so I decided to RECord it - this is very boring and its a bad imitation that I'm still working on.
saw the rewrite 20 minutes after I recorded my last version, so I went back and did it agan - by heart!
old and young
multiple takes - the very last one actually fits the video without editing
RECORD #600 Yay!!!!
Would someone would like to add sound effects and music or turn this into a video? It's a lot longer than I thought I forgot that it is DOUBLE SPACED pages that you count for time in a script. This probably should be broken down into two acts.
I hope I made this entertaining enough! To me, the story already is entertaining on its own. Personally, I would love to hear Joe read as Lucius and others read the other parts, but y'all weren't in my RECording studio, so I did all the parts on my own. Don't ask me to tell you where the accents are from - I don't know myself!
You can either listen to this without any visual aids, or d/l and unzip the script here:
This recording has come into my posession, and since it seemed related, I thought I would RECord it here. I should not reveal my source, but only say he goes by the code name "shallow esophagus."
a possile continuation of the Traffic Report?
Joe - This is a mystery caller conversational call in with room for you to fill in remarks. If it doesn't make you smile just a little then I failed at what I was trying to do. Of course, I blame KREC for wrecking my comedic sensibility too!
should I develop this story further?
William Shakespeare's Sonnets have been in public domain even before they were published in 1609 by someone else.
I made a few mistakes on this one, but I wanted to get this recorded in one reading without breaks. I don't think I lost any of the meaning in my accidental remix of the bard. These four sonnets are a series and belong together. I have not yet discovered who is speaking to whom (in the real world), but the anguish and pain expressed at breaking up and possibly getting back together is so deep, that I was moved to do a voice over.
This is a poem by William Mickle (1735-1788) and it has nothing to do with anything other than my own research into a screenplay I am at the beginning of writing concerning Shakespeare's sonnets. I thought maybe some of you here might also enjoy this poem, which is why I am RECording it here. It is about the 1st Earl of Leicester, Robert Dudley (24 June 1532 – 4 September 1588) and concerns his alleged murder of his first wife. You can read the entire poem here:
by William Shakespeare.
To me, at least in the screenplay about the sonnets I am developing, these 4 sonnets are Christopher Marlowe telling William Shakespeare "goodbye" in a letter he writes on the eve of his assasination.
This is just to show the concept - JeffPeff would mix this oh so much better! The idea is to show the dichotomy between the "perceived" Prince Charming who wrote the letter and the "actual" Stalker who wrote it.
This is merely to give to all an idea where this is going - the final version wil be a boy's voice reading this part instead of mine.
this was my 6th take - is this what you had in mind Diane? Let me know how you would like it improved or changed - okay?
I like the way Psalmist sang the song, but I wanted to add my own flair of dramatics to this tale of The Rebellion of the Cookies. Could someone draw a troop of cookies in arms marching? Or a battle scene like the one described in the poem - with Santa running for his sleigh and both him and the reindeer in bullet-proof vests?

sounds pretty cool through headphones!

I realized after I RECorded the last one that I was being less honest in my interpretation than I meant because I was focusing too much on the accent. This reading is closer to how I think the sonnet is meant to be read.
The issue here is that a loved one is about to leave to run off with someone else that he sees as more closely matching his philosophical outlook (true minds). The"remover"is the third person mentioned in the sonnet. "Bear it Out" is a colloquialism - which means the same thing as "stick to it." The poet is giving the loved one a piece of his mind and a lecture about how the loved one is supposed to act - which is counter to the way he is acting. Lots of sarcasm in this that I left out of my last reading.
Not the same interpretation most have - but it's mine.
More interesting things about this sonnet...
The word "marriage" in the first line is tied inextircably to the word "impediments." Impediments were objections to a marriage that were allowed to be brought up during the standard three postings of the bans in public. Incidentally, Shakespeare himself was married after the posting of only one ban - but then again, his fiance was already pregnant!
"alters" comes up three times in this sonnet. Typical to Shakespeare's writing, there is a double meaning. Not only is the main meaning, "changes", intended, but there is the added meaning of the place where the vicar would issue the marriage vows or before which a couple being married would kneel - the alter. It's not an open meaning, but I think it is intentional nonetheless since Shakespeare opens with the word "marriage." I am prety sure he wishes the reader to have that image come up in his or her mind.
The LOVE Shakespeare is describing is that sometimes termed, "Agape" love - a true love which is not to be confused with that Love a married couple share - or even the love a mother has for her child. Another term for this is Brotherly Love, and still another way of putting it is that Love God has for all his children. It is sometimes called unconditional love, and this is the place where the poet in this sonnets finds himself at odds. He KNOWS his love for the person being addressed in this sonnet is unconditional, yet is trying to convince him to not go off with someone else but stay with the Poet. How can this be unconditional? Well - it would take reading the rest of the sonnets to understand this point, so I'll just say that The Poet's love in the sonnets is actually a jealous sort of love.
Love is compared to the North Star in this sonnet. "Every wandering bark" is his term in this sonnet for all the ships which sail the ocean and the people on board them. The north star is the only star that is "FIX-ED" and is used as guidance by taking measurement of it's height. Whe the poet says "Whose worth's unknown" he is saying the loved one doesn't understand the value of Love though he sees it and measures it every day - pretty deep stuff, huh?
Not to mention the fact that by bringing up ships, he is in turn bringing u the Sea - and by bringing up the sea, he is calling to mind that vast ocean of Love that is all around each and every one of us. But since I mentioned it, I'll also say that by doiing this Shakespeare is reminding the person he is addressing in this sonet of just how VAST that love is - how indescribably HUGE his love is.
Also, the poet i addressing a 'specific' "wandering bark" in this sonnet. He is comparing a ship that explores to a person that wants to explore - the person he is addressing. In other words, the poet is saying to the object of his affection that even as he explores new adventures and other options, the poet's love will remain steadfast.
"Love's not time's fool" is a way of saying that real love doesn't change with time - it is forever. Rosy lips and cheeks are merely words to describe a living and breathing human, which must - as we all must - eventually die (within time's bending sickle's compass - or it's sphere of influence - come). Even though we die, our true love lives on - and Shakespeare wrote several times in the sonnets that the purpose of the sonnets was to preserve "the youth's" beauty and his love for him - permenance through publication (just in case anyone wonders whether or not Shakespeare intended to have these published - he did).
Finally, the word "proved" in this does not have the meaning you are familiar with. What it meant back in Shakespeare's time, was "tested." There are a few more sonnets in the series where he uses this term, and it always means the same thing in each sonnet. Another word would be "challenged." So in the couplet of the sonnet, Shakespeare is saying that "If anyone claims that what I have just said is wrong, then it would be like they were saying that I never wrote anything, or that no man ever loved (another person)." So to one possible chalenge, Shakespeare pre-emptively issues two counter arguments.
I only memorized this sonnet because I am writing a choral arrangement to it - I'm close to finished, and I'll RECord it soon!
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
(Note: there are only 10 syllables per line with exceptions - which means that in the 5th line "fixed" is pronounced "fix-ed." The 6th and 8th lines (in order to match) are 11 syllables long and have soft, or feminine endings (which is "almost" like only having 10 syllables - Shakespeare did this often). In the 7th line "every" is "ev-ry" Finally, there are two options in the 12th line. Since "bears it out" would have been a commonly used colloquialism, it could have been pronounced, "bears 'tout." The other option is that the pronunciation of "even" is "e'en." The reason I propose two options even though I prefer the second for line 12 is due to iambic pentameter, which would allow for either change without affecting the underlying feet. In my choral arrangement that I will soon RECord I took the liberty of making line 8 10 syllables by dropping the "al" of "although" - it made more sense musically to do that than add in an 8th note that wouldn't really be heard anyway. I'm not done yet, so I might add it back in before I RECord it - just to remain true to the original.)
Record number 1000!
(I applied a cheap noise reduction to this to eliminate the ambient noise, which is why you hear the electronic sounds.)
Lawrie, if you want to hear something different from me, please let me know what by way of direction.
I read this along with Joe speaking in my ear, so it should match pretty closely.
I've collected the VO stems of the only 5 guys who have contributed updated stems in time to Joe's reading so far - including Joe - and placed them into a spatially distributed mix. The only thing I have done with this is adjust the basic levels to put everyone at about the same volume, and given them specific places on the stage at the front of the house - two voices are split far left and right, two voices are split half-left and half-right, and Joe is in the center.
This needs more guys. The ratio currently looks like 4:1, Women to Men. For a more even mix, more guys need to contribute unprocessed stems of them reading at Joe's pace.
All the female stems I've heard so far are outstanding - I just didn't include them in this mix because I only did this mix as a call to the guys to contribute.
sync up the beginning and the rest will follow - this is as close as I've been able to come to matching Joe and it is almost a perfect match other than in a few minor places for a millisecond, give or take.
I started this on Thursday, January 12, 2012 and spent all my waking hours designing, downloading, cutting, pasting, re-cutting, re-pasting, moving, re-normalizing, and basically everything conceivable in sound editing, to produce this 3-minute vocal mix.
It contains, as the title indicates, 70 tracks (2 are not used in this, but if I can figure out how to make a surround sound recording, one of them wil be - watch for that - coming soon - hopefully!).
These tracks are comprised of 41 hitREcorders who did a damn good job of trying to match Joe's voice-over track. What they didn't achieve, I did my best to compensate for through the "magic" of mixing. I think I came pretty darn close!
5 of the male vocals were pitched up and down to create 10 additional tracks. 5 of the tracks in this mix are dedicated to a "top" channel - which would be really cool at a live presentation of this sound track if the audio engineer figured out how to make it work in a surround sound "plus" format. It is included in this in normal stereo
Three hitRECorders RECorded their kids (DianeFT, Sabine, and Jess Pillmore - their kids are Josh, Julia, Arwen, Logan, and Griffin) and their voices make up an additional 8 tracks. One of the tracks is my extra recording, which I used sparingly throughout. That accounts for most of the tracks - I lost count somewhere along the way.
One final track I'll mention is a public domain playground recording:
Public domain Douzen Kids on a Playground Artist: Stephan
This was definitely time consuming and tedius work, but I think the results were worth the effort.
I hope you do too!
I am not sure if this is surround sound since I have no way to listen - would someone please let me know if this comes out as surround sound?
I have also just provided a zip of all the indvidual channels in case someone else wants to attempt to mix them into surround sound. It is here (http://www.hitrecord.org/records/642249

The Fables of Aesop Ballantyne Press "now again edited and induced by Joseph Jacobs." LoNDON. Published by David Nutt in THE Strand, m.v.cccl.xxxix. (1889) http://www.archive.org/details/fablesofaesopasf02aesouoft
originally written by William Caxton in 1484
Thomas Nash wrote this in 1592/3 ot thereabouts (it wasn't published) for The Earl of Southhampton, Henry Wriothesley, who was nineteen or twenty years old at the time. William Shakespeare also wrote for the same Earl at the same time, dedicating Venus and Adonis to him. This relationship of the two poems is what first attracted me to Nash's Dildo (to put it tongue-in-cheek - although that also has its own weird meaning now that I think about it when such a phrase is associated with a dildo - oh well).
Apparantly, these two long poems were written at the young Earl's personal request seeing as how they both seem to have the same general theme of passionate and mysterious sex. That Nash and Shakespeare were using the same patron at the same time kind of shows that Nash and Shakespeare probably knew each other pretty well.
It's in the public domain, and I got the text of the unpublished manuscript (it's actually two unpublished manuscripts written years after Nash wrote it - apparantly copied by fans of the poem for preservation - these original manuscripts are in the Bodleian Library and the Inner Temple) from a few different sources on the web. Its official title is The Choice of Valentines. Its subtitle is The Merry Ballad of Nash His Dildo. If you can't understand my reading (I only made a few minor errors, like saying 'stipes' instead of 'stripes,' and at one point in my reading chose to repeat a word for emphasis) and wish to find the text to read yourself, I'm sure you may do so by searching the internet using your favorite search engine.
I found the poem to be funny. That's why I decided to do a reading of it. Perhaps I'll do my own reading of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis at some point in the future, but I found this one to be a little more entertaining and enjoyable than that one. It was difficult to tell at times which of the characters was speaking in my almost nineteen-minutes reading, so I made an effort to be vague about that as I read it. In some cases, either of the main characters could have been saying the words, and they have a slightly different meaning if you choose to hear one or the other character as the speaker. I like this ambiguity, but at the same time wish Nash had been a little more clear.
I also found Nash's reference to Tamberlaine ('Tomerlin', as he wrote it) in his poem to be a reference to Christopher Marlowe. I think this reference has some intrigue which I plan to explore further.
I also found his reference to "dancing school" to be interesting. The term, "dancing," as I have learned, was a euphamism for sex in the 16th century. Seems it wasn't much different back then from what it is today.
Nash's use of "he" and "him" (and "her" and "she")throughout this poem does not always refer to a person - I thought I'd mention that just in case you get a little confused about the meaning of those particular pronouns. Nash makes great use of other words such as 'spirit,' 'soul,' 'nectar,' 'mouth,' 'hill,' 'wheels,' and many others in this poem which are also not used with their surface meaning. Oh yeah, I should mention that "hackney" is a horse for rent. "Jade" also refers to a livery stable horse for hire.
I don't think there is much opportunity to remix this one, though you are welcome to if you wish. I suppose you could act it out - but if you did it would have to have an NC-17 rating - it would probably even get an "XXX" rating in the US, even though its literary value is without question. I suppose one could do an animation and apply symbolic representation of things, but I think that would detract, since the words already do that. Still, there is probably a way to remix this, and if you are encouraged by my reading to do so, I'll take it as the compliment it is!
I performed it merely for your entertainment, that's all. It's a very long poem, but no longer than any sitcom on TV today. My suggestion is you listen to this poem after you flip through the channels on TV and find nothing on the 600 or more channels you have available, since I'm almost certain (provided you are not a Nash Scholar) you've NEVER heard this poem before, and it is bound to just as good as a re-run of an older TV sitcom that you have seen already.

Once you've stocked up, use up what you have! There have been months when we've pretty much "eaten from the pantry" and only spent money on dairy and fresh produce at the store. Again, my memory isn't the best, so I keep two important lists in a prominent place in my kitchen. One is my food inventory--it's broken into categories such as meat, beans, vegetables, grains, and sauces. This way, I don't forget about the salmon in the deep freeze, the basmati rice at the back of the pantry, or the curry paste in the fridge. A second list contains meal ideas based on the ingredients we have around, broken down into categories such as entrees, sides, breakfast, snacks, and desserts. Whereas in the past, I would have looked around the kitchen and felt like there was nothing I could make, now I consult my list, and see how easy it would be to throw together Brown Rice and Lentils, or Homemade Pizza, or Black Bean Soup with homemade biscuits.
I'm also throwing away a lot less food than I used to. If we're not going to finish the fresh strawberries before they go bad, I will freeze some for use in smoothies. If I use half a can of tomato sauce, the rest can be frozen for later use.
What about you? How do you make sure you use up what you have? Have you ever "eaten from the pantry" for a week or two or three?

If you are looking for more coverage steer clear of bottoms where the hemline ends at the widest part of your leg. Skirted bottoms and swimdresses are fashionable and comfortable options to flatter your shape. Flared hemlines accentuate your waist without pinching or gathering at the hips.

Minimize Thighs and Backside
Higher cut bottoms that follow the natural curve of your body help to make thighs look slimmer. Add emphasis to the tops of your suit which will draw the eye away from your lower body. Look for one pieces or tops with color blocking and embellishments around the chest area. Mix and match separates also help to trim the lower half. Wear fun and funky prints on the top half, and solid darker colors on the bottom half! Skirted bottoms are a great option for extra coverage. Look for simple skirts with a looser fit and flared hemline. This will help to slim the hips and rear while providing comfortable coverage.

Ohio Supreme Court reverses appeals court decision; upholds drug conviction
COLUMBUS — The Ohio Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a Lorain County drug indictment does not need to have the specific name of a drug, rather the type of the drug.
The decision reinstated the convictions of Alfred Jackson, 25, of Lorain, who has argued that his indictment should name the drug he was allegedly trafficking. Jackson was indicted by the Lorain County grand jury in December 2008 for three counts of trafficking in drugs, possession of criminal tools and possession of drug paraphernalia. Jackson's indictment identified the drug or drugs as schedule 1 and 2 controlled substances, but not by specific names.
Jackson's attorney Michael Stepanik argued to the Supreme Court in September that a drug trafficking indictment should include the name. Lorain County Prosecutor Dennis Will has said that the indictment follows state law and the state does not have to name the drug or drugs.
In the 6-1 decision, dissenting Justice Paul E. Pfeifer supported the Ninth District Court of Appeals' decision, but the rest of the justices reversed the appeals court ruling.
Justice Pfeifer has argued that the grand jury would not know what the substance is other than it is a controlled substance. Pfeifer questioned how someone could know the classification of the drug when they do not know what drug it is.
Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton wrote in the decision that the requirement of the indictment is that it needs to follow the language of the criminal statute. A person charged with an offense may request what exactly they are charged with in the bill of particulars, Stratton added. She also wrote that if an indictment were to name the drug and not the type (classification) then it would be insufficient.
"...an indictment is sufficient if it names the schedule in which the drug appears. The specific drug or drugs alleged to be involved in a drug trafficking offense may be discovered by a defendant through a request for a bill of particulars," Stratton wrote.
According to the Supreme Court, Jackson had filed a motion to dismiss the indictment alleging that it did not sufficiently charge because the drugs were not named. The trial court denied his request and Jackson pleaded no contest to all of the counts. Jackson appealed, arguing that the trial court was in error by not dismissing his trafficking in drugs charges. The appeals court reversed his convictions arguing that the indictment was insufficient.
Jackson was sentenced to one year in prison, a sentence he has not yet served.

Roll-Your-Own Shops Tax Free?
Reflecting a national trend, roll-your-own tobacco shops have been opening up all over Southwest Florida.
More than half the cost of a pack of cigarettes is in taxes. By rolling their own, smokers can beat the tax man. And, the roll-your-own tobacco emporiums help make it easy.
At CTC Tobacco in Port Charlotte the rolling machines are busy all day. Smokers are able to buy the equivalent of carton of cigarettes for about $14. The cheapest generic cigarettes sold at Wal-Mart cost $46 a carton. Blake Vantrees opened CTC Tobacco earlier this year.
"It's tough economic times and lot of people who smoke tend to be working class or poorer and so the price of cigarettes is a big impact on them and it seemed a situation where people needed inexpensive cigarettes and it seemed like a good time to do it," he said.
But, government officials are taking notice.
The federal government sharply increased the tax on cigarette tobacco and pipe tobacco in 2009 to help pay for the expansion of the Children's Health Insurance Program. Both kinds of tobacco had been taxed at $1.09 a pound. The pipe tobacco tax jumped to nearly $3 and cigarette tobacco to almost $25.
Roll your own tobacco shops are selling their customers product labeled pipe tobacco – thus the lower price. So, what's the difference between pipe and cigarette tobacco?
Congressional liaison for the Alcohol, Tobacco, Tax and Trade Bureau Tom Hogue said the feds are looking for a way to clarify that.
"Our lab has been looking into that quite a bit we have not found at this point a single silver bullet test that will let us look at two products and say definitively that this is a pipe product and this is a roll your own product. It's very hard to draw a distinction," he said.
Hogue said the feds will continue to try to define a difference and implement the law.
Customers at roll-your-own shops don't pay state taxes either. But, that could soon change in New Hampshire where Assistant Attorney General David Rienzo argued before the state Supreme Court that roll-your-own shops are subject to provisions of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement reached between the states and the tobacco industry in 1998.
"Among those obligations is that manufacturers who never joined the MSA have to pay into an escrow account a certain amount of money for every cigarette they manufacture in the state. We took the position that the tobacco shops that bought the machines and operate them constitute manufacturers," he said.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court agreed and the price of cigarettes produced in roll-your-own shops there could soon reflect that decision.
Meanwhile, a Federal Court in Ohio placed an injunction on enforcing a similar lower court decision there. The appeal resulting in the injunction was brought by RYO Machine Rental, which provides cigarette rolling machines to roll-your-own operations in many states. RYO's President Phil Accordino said the original decision was not fair.
"The judge agreed with us that these machines could hardly be deemed manufacturing machines – a manufacturing machine for Phillip Morris will produce 20,000 cigarettes a minute – it would take our machines two days to produce what their machine would produce in one minute," he said.
Accordino said a hearing on the appeal will be scheduled later this year. Officials in Florida declined to comment on the tax status of roll-your-own cigarettes in this state pending the decision in Ohio.
Florida's Alligator Hunting Season Begins Monday
The official state alligator hunting season begins Monday at 5:00pm.
Nearly seven thousand permits have gone out to people who want to try their luck at hunting the reptile. More than one-point-three million alligators live in Florida. The Coordinator for the Alligator Management Program for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in Tallahassee, Harry Dutton, said the commission extended the hunt by four hours each day of the hunt.
"This is what was ultimately provided to the commission as a compromise to what was asked for by the hunting community which was to hunt alligators anytime during the established season to other constituencies that like to look at the resource and enjoy it and also enjoy the waterways that hunting occurs on to find a balance between all these different recreational uses."
Dutton said alligators are thriving in Florida with more than one point three million of them currently in the state. Each permit issued allows each person to take two alligators.
Tax Free Holiday
Florida retailers are counting on brisk sales this weekend – driven by a tax free shopping holiday for clothes and school supplies.
Florida's first tax free shopping holiday was in 1998. It was aimed at giving parents shopping for back to school items a break. But President of the Florida Retail Federation Rick McCallister says there's also a ripple effect.
" People are out there shopping, the family is together and they buy refrigerators and they buy other things that are on sale on special because they're out in the store's they see things and they buy them, and so historically the Florida department of revenue has not experienced a reduction in revenue they experience an increase," he said.
The state dropped the sales tax holiday for two years but it returned in 2010. Depending on what county shoppers live in they can save 6 to 7-1/2 percent in sales tax. The exemption applies to most school supplies with a value up to $15 dollars and clothing costing up to $75 dollars. The holiday begins Friday and runs through Sunday.
Hoarding Task Force Helps Chester Recover
Lee County's recently formed Hoarding Task force has been working with local residents who find themselves and their homes overwhelmed by clutter. An estimated 12 to 30 thousand hoarders live in Lee County. In part two of our look at this growing and sometimes dangerous emotional disorder, WGCU's Valarie Edwards introduces us to Chester, a hoarder who – with support from the task force-- is now on the road to recovery.
Doctor Training Program coming to SWFL
Southwest Florida will soon be training doctors in its local hospitals.
Lee Memorial Health System and Florida State University College of Medicine unveiled plans for a medical residency program in Fort Myers. It will be the first of its kind in Southwest Florida and the only one between Tampa and Miami.
The program will be for medical graduates who are specializing in family medicine.
The announcement comes at a time when the state and country are experiencing a shortage of physicians – especially in primary care.
Although more medical schools are starting up in Florida, there are not enough residency programs to keep these new doctors in the state. Florida ranks 43rd nationally in the number of medical residents trained.
Lee Memorial Health System President Jim Nathan says the aim of this program is to bring more physicians to the area.
"By being able to have a training program here, we will be able to not only develop physicians that are trained in our community, but hopefully will want to stay in our community," said Nathan.
Medical school graduates must complete residency training in their chosen specialty before they can practice medicine independently.
The FSU-Lee Memorial Health System program plans to bring in six residents starting in July 2013.
"Operation Meltdown" Results in 62 Arrests in Sarasota
Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight says a two-week effort to crack down on metal thefts and burglaries resulted in the arrest of 62 people, the recovery of 2 vehicles, 2 trailers and 21 hundred pounds of metals.
Such crimes are a huge problem in Sarasota County.
"Operation Meltdown" focused on two patterns: the theft of metals from air conditioners, light poles, and home siding that are taken to recyclers in exchange for cash; and daytime burglaries where suspects break into homes to steal jewelry and items to be sold to either pawn shops or gold buyers.
Knight blamed criminal's drug addictions rather than the economy. He intends to ask Sarasota County to pass an updated Second Hand Dealer ordinance to deter the situation.
"Nemo" Underwater Vehicle Searches for Algea
Mote Marine Laboratory and the National Marine Fisheries Service ar relying on an underwater robot in Collier County as it looks for environmental conditions that might relate to a recent fish kill there.
The robot, nicknamed "Nemo," is an autonomous underwater vehicle that can detect multiple species of algae and levels of dissolved oxygen.
Launched last Thursday, it will patrol for about a week along a pre-programmed course six to 20 miles offshore. It will continuously sample the water and send data to Mote scientists at the lab every two hours via satellite transmitter.
Water Use Restrictions Remain
Water use restrictions will remain in South Florida for the foreseeable future. South Florida Water Management District officials said today/Friday that rainfall amounts in Lee and Collier Counties are above normal so far this summer season. But that's not the case in some other parts of the 16 county water management district.
Water Resource Manager Pete Kwiatkowski said ground water levels haven't rebounded from the prolonged drought that gripped the region.
"We were in quite a rainfall deficit district-wide that started last October and just started turning around in June when we started to get rainfall but we still have quite a deficit that we're trying to overcome," he said.
Meanwhile, officials urge residents to turn off home irrigation systems because there's sufficient rainfall to keep lawns green. About 50 percent of regions potable water goes on lawns so turning off the sprinklers will hasten the recharge of groundwater levels.
Lee County Hoarding Taskforce Holds Public Forum at FGCU
The Lee County Hoarding Taskforce held its first public forum on Friday, on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University.
The consortium of public and private agencies includes regional police and fire departments, animal control agents, therapists and professional organizers.
Hoarding is an inability to part with possessions, irrespective of their value. And despite common misperceptions, many hoarders are well educated.
Although women hoard at significantly higher rates than men, both are likely to have experienced a traumatic event that led to the hoarding. It's a significant commonality among a host of others, according to taskforce member Dr. Belinda Bruster.
"Another one may be mental illness, such as depression, OCD … which is obsessive compulsive disorder. Those are common features that you might find in a hoarder. But once again, everyone is different," says Bruster.
Experts believe recovery can be difficult for hoarders who find it hard to bounce back from the trauma.
"Women can sometimes get stuck in that traumatic event and not be able to move forward. Where men have a traumatic event and they're able to move forward a little bit better," says Bruster.
Although experts aren't certain, it's estimated between twelve and 30,000 hoarders live in Lee County.
More information is available by contacting the Lee County Department of Human Services at (239) 533-7936.

Hello ! ;) My name is Dominika and I'm from Poland. My total footprint result is 5827, so lower than the average one. Compared to my class my results are lower than the average. The lower results I have on my "purchases" category. The highest results I have in "home" category. I think that could be cause of high number of bulb which I have in my home. I think that I have to reduce the number of bulb in my home, and it could be better than right now. I also know that if I reduced temperature in my home, it could be better too, but I like have heat in my room, I hate when I'm cold ! :)

Agnieszka T-Poland May 10, 2013It's great that you have already some ideas how to reduce your carbon footprint, even if you have a nice score anyway ;)
Agata L-Poland May 11, 2013In my opinion you're true eco-people! If you like a high temperature maybe you should buy special coal- "eco groszek"?
Sara S-Poland May 11, 2013Yeah, I think it's a very good idea, Agata. Perhaps, you will true 'eco-people' like me ;).

Hello my name is Liliah Andrews. I am a 15 year old from Mooresville, NC. My transportation score was 439 kg. It is really low because I don't go many places. My home score is 10014 kg. It is really high because my house is heated by a wood stove in the basement 6 months out of the year. Also, we have to wash the dishes by hand, which uses a lot of water. My food score is 1280 kg. It is kind of low because my family grows most of the food we eat. My purchases score is 417 kg. It is low because I don't buy new things very often. Besides home, my score is fairly low compared to my country and my state.
Dominika P-Poland May 11, 2013I agree with you, Agata. Dishwasher is very good. I can save time and money.
Chase Wayne May 12, 2013I think it is a good thing that you grow some of the food you eat, that way you don't have to go buy food and drive to get it either.

Hello everyone!
My name is Valentina and I'm from Croatia. I'm 16 years old and I'm really glad I participate in this interesting challenge. I have calculated my footprint and I found out that the total amount of CO2 I realise is 6386 kg per year.That is about 600 kg higher than the average in Croatia. As the amount of CO2 is largest in home category I have decided to do same changes. For example I'll try to use more blankets in winter instead of heating the room by eletricity. I think that turning the lights and the computer off when they aren't needed will be very productive, too. I'll also try to reduce, reuse and recycle more. I intend to print and write on both sides of the paper because I have found out that rainforests are under grave threat from the paper and pulp industry, as in Indonesia for example. And rainforests are really beautiful, aren't they? We should help them survive!
If every one of us makes at least one change, we will be surprised at the results and togehter we will make a big difference!
I'm really excited to see so many caring people from all over the world who have joined forces to help the environment!
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and reading your interesting posts.
Valentina :)
Ewa K-Poland May 10, 2013I absolutely agree with you. I think everybody have influence on our environment and often people when watching e.g. tv programme about rainforests which is under grave threat or endangered species or bending etc. etc. We talk how could this happen or how these big industrial concerns could this happen and so really we all daily attach to it to make it on there because these big companies are earning a lot of money by seller of this paper, for example, for the average person who does not realize it or is it just so convenient but also other forms of life and the environment is a problem for which there is often a very great influence and is usually bad often by our laziness, lack of knowledge or to save some money. Unfortunately, it also saddens me that a lot of people think that this one piece of paper or trash thrown into the forest have virtually no influence on the environment but these people are too much so we should all keep an eye on mutual and rebuke to our planet and man live better and healthier!:)
Zuzanna Błatoń May 10, 2013I agree, too. We talk a lot about endangered species and so on, but unfortunately only few try to do sth.
Sandra R May 11, 2013Your plans for the changes are very interesting, and I support that everyone should make changes in your life.

Hi my name is Chase Wayne, I am 15 years old and I from the United States. I live in Mooresville, North Carolina and have recently calculated my carbon footprint. My carbon footprint total is 14564 kg of CO2 per year. I expected it to be a little bit above the average but I am good with it. The part of my footprint that was higher than the average was transportation because my family and I have to be all over the place where we live. We usually are out for groceries or going out to eat. I really wasn't surprised about my total since it was close to the average. A way that I can narrow down and transportation total is by eating at home more often and probably get more groceries so we don't have to go get some more all the time.
Patrycja Preiniger May 11, 2013Hi!! Don't worry about result with transport I have the same problem. I live far away from city and I must use buses or, like usually, cars. I think that makes our average higher than normal.
Greetings from Poland!!

Overall I was surprised at my results because they turned out to be lower than the average person in Pennsylvania in all four categories. The lowest Carbon Footprint I left was in the purchases category. I think the purchases category was the lowest footprint because I am aware of how much money I spend and need. The highest footprint was home because I am there the most. I can lower my carbon footprint at home by turning off more lights, using the dishwasher less, being aware of how much energy I use for heating and cooling. For example if it gets cold I could use a blanket instead of turning the heat up.
Daria Pi-Poland May 10, 2013Hi Aryana! You can be proud of your result. It's very good that you know what you can do to lower your carbon footprint. You can also use energy-saving light bulbs and turn off the water while you brush teeth.

Hello everyone! My name is Ida and I come from Croatia. I'm 17 years old and live in small town Varaždin. My biology teacher really interested me into this ISCFC project for calculating carbon footprints. My total carbon footprint is 14568 kg of CO₂ per year. Compared to an average of 5736 kg for Croatia it's 2.5 times bigger. I was really surprised my carbon footprint was so high. Majority of my footprint came from my house (10759 kg) from leaving the lights on, using heating for 6 months per year and leaving the water running. Therefore, I have been planning to take some serious actions such as turning the lights and water off and using my bycicle instead of car. I could also take my own reusable bags while grocery shopping and select waste into bins of organic and inorganic waste. Completing this survey definitely served as an eye-opener to me because it got me thinking how I alone produce a massive amount of CO2 every year. I will try to make a change in my lifestyle to preserve our planet! :))
Filip G-Poland May 10, 2013It's really nice that you will try to change. Don't worry, your result is not as high, I've seen higher results than your.I believe that If you really want, you can preserve our planet :)
Grzegorz M-Poland May 11, 2013I believe that you can change your lifestyle because we have to care about our planet.

Hey, everybody! I'm Sara Elmessiry, a 15-year-old from Cairo, Egypt. It gives me great shame to announce that my total carbon footprint did exceed (and go overboard) the standard Egyptian carbon footprint average. In fact, my annual amount of CO2 released resulted in a large number of 14,788 kg; when my country's average was 3,352. Although I was definitely taken aback by these results and it made me feel really badly about myself for a bit, I soon realized that the mere fact that I've now recognized my main issues regarding energy wastage (transportation and home appliances) and thus address them, will contribute to making my individual growth as a human being. We all share the same Earth; it's our duty to nurture it and treat it the best way possible. Completing this survey definitely served as an eye-opener to me because it got me thinking about the various ways I could live a healthier life, taking care of myself, those around me, and the planet itself. Through this survey, I realized that my greatest downfall was the common issue with the house lights. I'm the type of person who will walk out of my room, thinking I'll be back in 5 minutes, only to get distracted with something else and thus leave my light on for nearly 2 hours! Not just that, but because I love to help out in the kitchen and I'm regularly washing dishes, I leave the faucet running all throughout the dish-washing process. It was thanks to this survey that I realized how effective turning the water off while I'm scrubbing plates is. I've already talked to my parents about my issue with the lights in my room, and my dad said he would look into installing this connection from my door to the central light bulb. That way whenever I shut my door, the light turns off. When I open the door, the light switches back on. Of course, I'd still have the option of turning the lights off/on as I please, but I feel like this standard set-up will serve as a reminder to conserve electricity. And it won't stop there! I'm currently brainstorming ways I could improve my lifestyle and benefit my community, such as separating my waste into bins of organic and inorganic waste, taking our own reusable bags while grocery shopping, and turning the electricity switch off on the whole house for the night- although that might be a bit difficult to manage! All the same, I now understand how costly every fine detail is in making the environment a better place, so I'm going to be making slight yet effective adjustments from here on out! In fact, we should all adopt this mindset of working towards growing as an individual and believing that despite how small we are, we've all got a great impact on this world. A profound piece of William Henley's poetry sums up everything I'm trying to say; "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
Wioletta W-Poland May 11, 2013It is really good to be aware of what your mistakes were already. I really hope a lot of people are responsible enough as you. :)
Pam Miller May 13, 2013It sounds like you are making plans that could have a good impact on your community, and I've seen many thoughtful posts from other students at your school. Have you thought about ways that you could partner with classmates to make some larger scale changes in the school and community?

Hi. My name is Naguib Salam, and I am from Cairo, Egypt. Unfortunately, my Carbon footprint is way above average, around 18000 when the average is 3500. This is mainly due to plane flights, but I cannot say that I do not waste materials. I go home by car often, even though I am signed up for the bus, because of after-school activities. I leave on the lights too often, and I regularly over-change my phone and laptop. Alone, I produce much more CO2 than the average. In this survey, I learned just how much CO2 planes give off. In the future, this type of travel might not be sustainable. I thought the lower classes would have more CO2, because of inefficient travel and trash wastage, but it is really the opposite. Wealthier people waste much more, import more, and travel more, all contributing to global warming. What I could do is stop throwing away my paper in my house, and instead bring it to school to recycle. Someone of my plane flights are unnecessary, and I may need to start thinking about limiting my vacations in the summer. When the metro starts to pick up and become more efficient, I will start using it. Overall this is a huge revelation, knowing how hard I alone am affecting this world, and I will have to change my lifestyle.
Daria Pastucha May 11, 2013Maybe you're close to some beautiful places to visit? Then the flight by plane will be completely useless! Visiting a country can be interesting!

Hi my name is Asser Mitwally and I am from Cairo, Egypt. My Carbon Footprint was ridiculously higher than the average person living in Egypt. To be honest, I wasn't really surprised my carbon footprint was so high. This is because a large portion of the Egyptian population is living below the poverty line, and so this has a huge impact on the average carbon footprint in Egypt. A less fortunate person would travel less, and use much less electricity than I do. Don't take me wrong though, I know theres a lot of room for improvement when it comes to my carbon footprint. I learned that my transportation total was 1000% above the average carbon footprint. This is probably because I ride the bus an average of 4 hours a day (going and coming). I dont eat a lot of organic food and I eat A LOT, so my food was way above average. I could probably recycle a lot of my plastic bags and paper that I've used. I should also probably go to school by bus so I would only spend half an hour a day instead of 4 hours. My purchases weren't really that high because I dont buy several tvs or phones a year. I should just use tote bags or not ask for plastic bags unless I really need them each year.
Tomek W May 11, 2013I wanted to ask whether this approach is that long because you chose a school so far away, or just had to do it because there was no other option?

Hello everyone! My name is Ela and I come from Croatia. I'm 17 years old and live in small town in the north-west of Croatia-Varaždin. I have recently calculated my carbon footprint. My total carbon footprint is 17987 kg of CO₂ per year. Compared to
an average of 5736 kg for Croatia it's 3 times bigger. I didn't really expect my carbon footprint to be way above average. I thought that it would be about the same as the average human and lower than an average person in Croatia. Majority of my footprint came from my house 15460 kg, because of the lights, heating and water running. In my house we keep lights on about 11 hours per day. I figured out many ways to descrease my carbon footprint. One way I can reduce the amount of CO2 is by turning off the lights and TV recycle more and use bicycle instead of driving the car. In comparision of Croatia and Egypt, the difference in carbon footprint is 2000kg. This means my averige footprint is above Egypt's. Doing this survey I learned that I alone produce a massive amount of CO2 every year. I am aware of my mistakes I will try to fix them and become more responsible :)))
Asser Mitwally May 9, 2013Hello :P When completing my survey, I also was surprised that lights heating and water could have such a large impact on my carbon footprint. This was because I hadn't really thought about it but it was a good point. The amount of electricity and water it takes just to take a shower must be tremendous. Im glad you carbon footprint is lower than the average person in Egypt's.
Agata L-Poland May 11, 2013It's great that you want to will be more responsible! A think that you should buy energy-saving bulbs if you use a lot of light. "use bicycle instead of driving the car"- this is really nice idea! You may also sometimes go on foot :)
Ela Rudnički May 14, 2013Asser - I definitely think that we should decrease our heating during winter and we should also reduce our water amount that we use and if we start from ourselves we could change something:)
Agata - thank you for your opinion, at home we only have few energy-saving bulbs, but we will certainly get more in near future, I started to use bicycle because it's healthy and it's an easy way to go where you want:)

Only 3 days left to enter!!!!
InTandem Competition is on the hunt for a new HGV/Cycle warning sign for the backs of large vehicles to stop rider/driver collisions.
First prize £1000! Second prize £500 bike! Third Prize £80 helmet and light set!

Hornit dB140 Cycle Horn
The Hornit dB140 cycle horn was conceived on the mean streets of south London as the loudest cycle horn in the world. As its name implies, it belts out a whopping 140 decibels - 30 more than standard on cars and vans.
It doesn't take any more handlebar space than a typical commuter light, and has a distinctive tone, similar to household smoke alarm. However, the reaction of a multi-drop van driver suggests it can sometimes fuel, rather than displace, danger.

WVU Parkersburg awarded $219,900 grant to develop Certificate in Process Technology.
CONTACT: Dr. Rhonda Richards, executive dean of academic affairs, 304-424-8242; Mary Beth Busch, dean of Workforce and Community Education, 304-424-8271.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEWest Virginia University at Parkersburg is the recipient of a $219,900 grant to develop a Certificate in Process Technology.
The grant is awarded by the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education. It is part of the council's Technical Program Development funding to develop technical programs that are in high demand, lead to high-wage careers and complement the state's economic development initiatives.
The Certificate in Process Technology will be designed to prepare students as process technicians in the chemical, oil and gas, and power generation industries.
"Regional employers indicate a need to have process technicians who can operate valves, pumps, compressors, furnaces and boilers in a chemical plant or related environment," said Dr. Rhonda Richards, executive dean of academic affairs.
WVU Parkersburg's grant award is a joint project of the college's Academic area and its Workforce and Community Education division. It will utilize core courses of the national Center for the Advancement of Process Technology curriculum in modularized emphasis areas.
The Certificate in Process Technology will provide training for the region's current and potential employees in the areas of process operations and technology through credit and non-credit options. It will feature a blended delivery format that includes on-line delivery of content with hands-on, skill-based laboratory activities.
"The intent is to develop a process technology career ladder that includes non-credit conversions to certificate and associate degree programs," noted Mary Beth Busch, dean of the college's Workforce and Community Education Division.
The grant funds will be used for faculty, equipment, and supplies and curricular development. It is expected the program will be in place for the fall 2009 semester.

An Arizona Cardinals Coach Revealed How To Tell If The New England Patriots Are Going To Run Or Pass
But the Patriots should be better this weekend, in part because Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton explained to the entire world that New England was tipping their plays.
Here's what Horton said on Arizona sports radio this week:
"What they did, and we figured out real quick was, whenever Tom Brady was under the center, they were going to run the ball and whenever he was in the shotgun, they were going to pass the ball. We told our players, 'Hey, make the run check if Tom Brady's under the center. If he's in the gun, go to the pass check.'"
"They handled it beautifully, and so we had dual calls that basically what we were telling them is we know when they're going to run and pass, so our players put us in the best position to win the game and they did a flawless job of managing the game of getting inside New England's head."
Not rocket science.
ESPN Stats & Info did some follow-up research today. And it turns out that the Pats really do tip their plays based on whether or not they're in the shotgun.
Last year, they passed on 85 percent of plays from the shotgun. They ran on 65 percent of plays from under center.
Welp, now the cat's out of the bag. Expect the Pats to switch it up this week, because that's a ridiculously easy fix.

Have you ever come across an anime title where you enjoyed the music to it more than the title itself?
I'd say the best example of a title where this occurred with me would be with the first season of Inuyasha. Overall, I found the series to be average at most and no different from shounen craze titles like Naruto and Bleach yet a good amount of the show's musical selections (especially several of the ED musical selections) had me hooked on the show's soundtrack since it actually did well at creating a good mood without making me cringe from feeling like I was being forced to feel a certain way with the musical selections. I'm not an Inuyasha fan, but I am a sap for the show's soundtrack. |
Kimiko_0 Posts: 1536 Location: Leiden, NL, EU |
I gave up on Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles after only a few episodes. Too much shounen nonsense, too little CardCaptor Sakura cuteness. However, the soundtrack was done by none other than Yuki Kajiura, so that is on my to-buy list. | ||||||
happymoose Posts: 62 Location: Arizona |
Princess Tutu
To be fair, I didn't give the anime a fair shake. I could only get through 3-4 episodes, it's one of the few shows I actually felt too old to be watching, and the seiyuu for the main character was a bit grating on the ears. Despite that, Okazaki Ritsuko made some fantastic music for the series, I listen to it constantly, and I'm not really all that in to J-Music. |
EireformContinent Posts: 918 Location: Łódź/Poland (The Promised Land) |
Most of the Princess Tutu melodies are western classic- the synchronisation was made perfectly, but it's hard t say that it's typical anime music.
At first I must say I'm not keen on listening anime music at all. To be honest melodies good itself are very rare. In the most cases soundtrack fit the series, but listened itself is hardly to bear (eg. Guin Saga). The majority of good melodies come from animes that I adore (Utena, Lady Oscar, LOGH), so I can't fairly recommend them to those who don't have similar associations to them. On the other hand I have series whose soundtrack is a masterpiece on it's own. Noir- Very Good anime. Completely-Awesome-Masterpiece Soundtrack. b]Naruto[/b]- maybe not a masterpiece, but most of the melodies would work on it's own |
penguintruth Posts: 5026 Location: Penguinopolis |
Everything Kajiura has scored for. The poor woman, every anime she's been involved with is so awful. It's almost like she only takes jobs for bad shows.
.hack//SIGN, for instance. A travesty. But the soundtrack is great. |
DragonsRevenge Posts: 1150 |
The only soundtrack that I really love all the way and actually listen to repeatedly on its own is the Azumanga Daioh soundtrack. It's just so unique, and when I listen to it, I feel like Im watching the show.
As much as I love Yuki Kajiura, With the exception of the vocal tracks and a few stand alone instrumentals, I don't find myself listening to the actual soundtracks, even though I have a good portion of them as it is. For some reason as I type this, Im aquiring the complete (such as it is) Haruhi Suzumiya discography, I don't possibly see myself listening to half this stuff, so I don't know why Im bothering, but I may be surprised. To answer the actual question though, there aren't many soundtracks I like better than the anime. If I don't like the anime, nothing stands out except how much I hate it, or I won't finish it, so obviously the music wouldn't have jumped out at me. I guess I'll say Princess Tutu for the same reasons the other person stated. Actually I'll say Excel Saga's OST, as much as I liked it, I liked the soundtrack even more. |
Wooga Subscriber Posts: 563 Location: Misawa |
DragonBall GT has to be the best example of this, for the OP at least.
King Gainer as well, don't get me wrong as I like the show but most people like the OP more than the show itself. |
DragonsRevenge Posts: 1150 |
Yeah, all the series she's scored for sucks. Except for .hack//SIGN, Madlax, Noir, Cossette and My HiME, and the others I haven't seen yet. |
classicalzawa Posts: 4011 |
Yeah, this happens a lot. Off the top of my head, I did not much care for Now and Then, Here and There, and while I'd probably call the soundtrack for it the weakest of Taku Iwasaki's work from what I've heard (which is this, Oban, and TTGL), the whole thing still made me go "Am I in Snowpeak Ruins?", which obviously made me enjoy the music because I did like that dungeon for the most part (I tend to like the ice dungeons). As a show though, didn't care for it and I don't even think it's the composer's strongest work, but still pretty good. | ||||||
Kimiko_0 Posts: 1536 Location: Leiden, NL, EU |
Lol. So true. Most of the anime with music by her are quite awesome actually. |
Zalis116 Moderator Posts: 5424 Location: Arcana City |
EricDent Posts: 976 Location: Round Rock, TX |
I have a couple of these.
Ninja Scroll The Series: I gave up on that, but the music is really interesting. Project A-KO: I liked the movie, but I sold it a while back. The soundtrack is still pretty good to this day. |
OutlawGundam Posts: 60 |
There are a bunch of Gonzo animes that I remember really liking the music, but the shows were awful.
Such as Final Fantasy: Unlimited, I loved the one ending song with the running Chocobos. Anytime someone sees FF:Unlimited on my shelf and asks me about it I tell them skip through the episodes and just watch that ending theme over and over cause its the only good part of the series. I didn't hate Speed Grapher, but it's also not particularly my favorite either. I liked the music though. |
Zewerr Posts: 501 Location: Tacoma, WA |
The music in the TV Series was done by Kitaro. I'm kinda suprised that he doesn't have work in more anime. He's one of my favorite artists/composers. I've been listening to him back when I was a wee one, well before I watched anime. My only example I can really think of is Virus Buster Serge. The entire series was simply poor animation, poor character design, poor acting, and a weak and rather confusing storyline. But the OP was actually rather catchy. Catchy enough to have it on my mp3 player. |
Ktimene's Lover Posts: 2242 Location: Glendale, AZ (Proudly living in the desert) |
The OP of Cyborg 009 2001, "What's the Justice" by Globe. I love the show a lot more dubbed. To be honest, I honestly thought Takahiro Sakurai sucked (putting it nicely) as 009 and Kana Ueda did Epic Fail as 001. However, the rest of Japanese cast I enjoyed. Hell, my preference of Joshua Seth's role of 009 has me saying this, "Sakurai-sensei, look at Seth's role and maybe you could see that suck as him". | ||||||

Claire's Walk and memorial service were a huge success and have got our campaign for justice off to an incredible start. There are so many people we now want to say thank you to.
Firstly, to everybody that braved the snow and freezing temperatures to come out and show their support. The line of people carrying candles was an overwhelming sight and something that will never be forgotten. You were joined by thousands more people who couldn't be there but gave their support by looking at this website, joining the Facebook group and following us on Twitter.
We would also like to mention Kent Police & Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes, Chief Supt Neil Jerome, Mayor of Greenhithe Vic Openshaw, Cllr Keith Kelly of Greenhithe ward and Cllr Jonathon Hawkes of Stone ward. The Mayor of Dartford, Ann Allen, told us she was "very impressed and humbled by the event".
The Mayor added: "The support was overwhelming. I found this a very moving occasion and Dartford is very proud of Tilt's special friends. Well done to you all and please be assured that we will never forget."
The help of MP Gareth Johnson has been invaluable; he has already raised Claire's case with the Prime Minister, and we will be meeting with Gareth soon to discuss possible next steps for the campaign.
Special thanks go to the Reverend Kenneth Clark (of St Marys Church – Stone) and the wonderful people of St Mary's church, Greenhithe, for giving us the church to use and for hosting such a moving service. The hot drinks to warm everybody up were a lovely gesture.
It was wonderful to have so many people come back to the British Legion afterwards and we really appreciated the hospitality of the staff and members of the Legion for hosting us. Thanks must also go to Dave Holding and his team at Kent Police for helping us to arrange the walk and for escorting us safely.
Finally, thank you to everyone who never knew Claire but came anyway. We want to get justice for her at last, but we also want to remember her as our friend, our mate, our Tilt. We were overwhelmed that so many people came along to hear about her life, not just because of her death. With more than 250 people attending, St Mary's Church was packed. We know her parents Lin and Cliff would have been so touched to see how much love there is for their daughter and we wish they could have been there to see it themselves.
Your valued and well needed support has carried us to the start of this campaign. Please stay with us now as we continue on in the hope of finally getting Justice for Claire.Cliff and Lin never gave up hope and neither will we.
Lisa, Vicki, Jo, Nichola, Emma and Phillipa would also like to thank Lorraine Homer for all of her help and support x

I am a J2 Visa holder as a "husband" and I know I need an EAD (employment Aythorization Document) in order to work full time. I read the web page carefully but I have a few questions that I would really appreciate if you can help me:
1) The EAD form is I-765. But in the page there are some more that I don't know if I have to fill them, as well. These are: I-485, I-140, DS-2019, IAP-66 and I-94. Are all of them mandatory? Or which one should I or my wife complete?
2) I am planning to work in New York. However, as I have a background in the petroleum industry, I will also want to look something in Houston. So, shall I make 2 EAD - one for NY and the other one for Houston, Texas - or just one EAD, considering that in your webpage Texas and New York should be both deliver to Dallas?
3) I was told I have to start this work permit in United States personally. However, my understanding from the web page is that I can do it by mail. Is that correct? Because it will be wonderful to do it by mail in order not to be 3-4 months in US without working.
I would appreciate if you can help me in any of the questions!
