Genre: Coming of Age, Light Yaoi (No sex so far)
Status: Serialized (Manga still pending)

Published by: N/A

Presented by: Mochi*Mochi [http://mochi.harusame.net]
This review is based on the series of Soshite Koi ga Hajimaru chapters released in Chara magazine. Up to chapter four has been released, there is speculation that it might be turned into complete manga last time I checked. I'll change it when I find out for sure.
Miki Tamura is currently attending High School, he's a junior and recently he was dumped by his girlfriend. But he's not too broken up about that. Miki's life is pretty comfortable he has a nice family and is taking up Cram classes after school.
One day while smoking he over hears a conversation. Too bad for Miki that he wasn't able to make an exist without getting caught. The man that spotted him invited him to his office for some tea. Miki does a good reaction check and thinks that the man is inviting him to tell him to keep quite. You see what Miki over heard was that the man was gay.
To Miki's surprise the man didn't do anything except give Miki his card. His name is Asami and he's a financial consultant. All Asami wanted was a tea-drinking-buddy and Miki agreed. The two spark a conversation about just the usual stuff.
Over time Miki's visit to Asami's office become more regular. And all they do is talk and slowy the two of them begin to open up to eachother. And they become really good friends. Look it might seem really simple and "It's been done before" but it's really a good gentle story.
The artwork really accompanies the story's plotline. It's very laidback but at the same time it's very sophisticated and gentle. One thing that stood out to me was Miki's eyes: his pupil's are very wide, it really separates him from the others. While the other main character(s), especially Asami's, eyes are drawn very small. The artwork is very clean and light look. The amount of detail is very nice and it's not very done. It looks somewhat simple but it fits the overall feel really well.
I was really taken by surprize while reading this story. I got it off of Mochi*Mochi's website and I usually go there for yaoi downloads. I picked up thise series in my monthly raid for my yaoi fixation. What I was expecting was lots of sex and a very tacky plotline. What I got instead was this amazing light hearted story with interesting characters and a lot of potential–if it ever was to be published as a complete manga.
Now the story itself is based on a novel, and the manga is drawn by Sumomo Yumeka. It's hard to pin point why I like this story so much. Probably because it offers a story not about sex, which I was due to read pretty soon–it was a good escape from the ton of Prince of Tennis hardcore yaoi mangas that I have been reading. But the story, so far, is so "fluffy". I really think shojo fans would like it.
At the end of chapter four you really get the feeling that both of them are about to really open up and that sparks might start flying soon. It might be too early to tell but I can see Miki and Asami starting a relationship and at the same time I can see Miki starting a relationship with a best friend. Either way it's something I must find out, I'm really hooked.
Maybe it's the fact that it's a fluffy love story or that it's a interesting story, maybe both, but you want to know what happens. The characters are complex, there is much to them as if they aren't telling you everything. Ugh! I like it a lot. I was kind of upset when I reached the ending and found out that that was the seemingly of the story (for now).
For those yaoi fans that were looking for sex I'm sad to say my fellow brethren or sistern? there isn't any in this so far but it's still a good story. Put down the hot man-on-man action for a while.
Let me degress and try to offer some constructive criticism.
If you like a story that has the potential to develop as the story goes on, and you like the very light and casual type stories that aren't focused on the climatic things rather than story (again I mention so far) then you might like this. Take into consideration that so far the manga story ends at chapter 4, the novel is finished and you can search on Mochi*Mochi's website whether or not they have the story avaiable for download, so if you do download this the story that you'll read will come to a halt. Very sad I know.
Still from what I've read it's a great story about two very interesting characters and it would be nice to see how things develop between the two, and if not at least it's fun to speculate what might happen.

It's about time some third party company stepped up and started making flight-stands, bases, and other upgrades for Marvel Legends.. One of the awesome things about Transformers collecting is there's a ton of little companies run by fans that produce all kinds of cool stuff that either improves upon the official stuff, or are whole figures that fans have always wanted but that Hasbro/Takara never put out. It's friggin awesome, and kinda sets TF's apart from other toy lines. You could put together an incredible collection without even buying any of the official toys. There are some incredible Legends customizer's out there... I would love to see a few of them band together and make something like this happen. I wish I was rich and could back something like this.

New stretch target
Thanks to all our supporters we smashed our initial target of £500 and we are seeking to double our donation to support l'Auberge des Migrants in Calais that provides basic necessities for survival; food, shelter, warmth.
The situation seems to be changing on a daily basis. The authorities are moving in with bulldozers to clear the land - only amplifying the sense of displacement and insecurity that already overwhelms those living in the camp. Providing funds to NGOs ensures they can spend the money in line with the most urgent needs of those living in the camps.
North-South Calais Solidarity
We are a small group of volunteers planning to fill two vans' worth of supplies to take to Calais on the 14th February. We would like to spend a week there providing much needed assistance to the organisations on the ground.
There are 6,000 men, women and children living in the Calais camp and a further 3,000 in Dunkirk facing extremely harsh conditions including the threat of eviction and aid blockages.
The various charities working in Calais are helping to provide food consisting of one meal a day (although there is often not enough even for that), basic shelter and clothing to try to keep the cold and wet at bay.
Money is needed so that we can cover basic costs of the journey. Any money raised in excess of our basic costs will go towards buying much needed food and sanitary products.
If you cannot donate money, we are in need of other items too and are collecting in Kendal, Oxford and London (Dalston).
Urgently required:
Building materials - especially pallets
Sleeping bags
Tents ( 4 man tents or larger)
Waterproof warm winter coats and waterproof trousers
Camp mats
Fire Extinguishers
Wind up/ solar torches and lanterns
Waterproof walking boots high ankle or trainers size especially sizes 42 and 43
Small trousers (size 28 and 30)
Waterproof trousers
S + M tracksuit bottoms
S long-sleeved tops, jumpers and hoodies
Boots/ shoes up to size 39. No heels!
Smaller cup size bras (up to 36C)
Warm, Waterproof coats (S + M)
Waterproof trousers
Trousers (S, M, L) - jeans and tracksuit bottoms
Long-sleeved tops, jumpers and hoodies (S + M)
Socks and Underwear (men's, women's and children's)
Goody bags of hats, gloves and scarves
Please ensure that all donated items are clean and in good condition.
Please help us to gather the necessary supplies. With your help we can show the French and UK governments that it is not acceptable to treat human beings in this way. Public opinion has influenced immigration policy in the past, we can do it again!!

In 1919, the French artist Marcel Duchamp took a cheap postcard reproduction of the Mona Lisa, and added a beard, moustache, and the letters "L.H.O.O.Q." When pronounced in French, the letters sound like the sentence "Elle a chaud au cul," which can be translated as "She has a hot ass." My old art history teacher (well, he would be old now) had a less delicate interpretation, which made it clear that "L.H.O.O.Q." was Duchamp's attempt to explain why the Mona Lisa is smiling.
Now, thanks to Consumer Reports and comments from some of the 3 million people who bought Apple iPad 3s in its first 5 days on the market, we know that L.H.O.O.Q. applies to the new iPad, as well.
Consumer Reports used a thermal imaging cameral to determine that portions of the back of the new iPad reached 113 degrees Fahrenheit unplugged with WiFi on but 4G off. That's about 13 degrees hotter than an iPad 2 used for comparison. When the new iPad was run plugged in, playing Infinity Blade II steadily for 45 minutes, the temperature reached 116 degrees F. What would the temperature have been with the notoriously power-hungry 4G turned on?
In general, the hotter temperature shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The new iPad has a 42.5 watt-hour battery compared to 25 watt-hours for the iPad2. Since the operating time per charge remains unchanged at 10 hours, according to Apple, it is clear that the new iPad uses an average of 70% more energy per unit time than the iPad 2, and the associated heat has to go somewhere.
The additional energy consumption has been attributed to the 4G LTE radio, the new dual core A5X processor with quad-core graphics, and the 9.7-inch, 2048×1536 "Retina" display. What hasn't been discussed is how much of that energy consumption can be attributed to the late design change from a display with a metallic oxide semiconductor backplane to one made from good old amorphous silicon (a-Si). As mentioned previously in Display Daily, Sharp was unable to supply the oxide-driven displays when Apple and Sharp had anticipated, with the result that Apple turned to Samsung and LG for displays using a-Si. The a-Si thin-film-transistors (TFTs) must be considerably bigger than the oxide TFTs were planned to be, thus producing a smaller aperture ratio and requiring more backlight output (and battery use) for any give display luminance. It is easy to speculate that the overall system design was done with the oxide TFTs in mind. Would the battery life be longer than ten hours if it had been possible to use the oxide-TFT displays? Or would the battery have had less capacity and been lighter and less expensive?
You can think about these questions the next time you watch Mission Impossible or play Infinity Blade II, and are reminded once again that your new iPad has a hot ass.

The plot of the story was a good one, but I can't say I liked the storytelling very much. Just as the book had become most interesting, it came to an abrupt end. I was in total disbelief as to the fact that it had ended, at what to me, was a climax in need of a resolution.
A "modern" redemption story about a New York safe cracker who finds love, himself, and a worthy profession in the small town of Appleboro, South Carolina.
As usual, Oemler's literary skills are absolutely superb. The writing and descriptions are ingenuous. However, there are times when the books seems a little drawn out; especially when it delves into descriptions of botany and lepidopterology.
Nevertheless, it's a good book; particularly for those who have an appreciation for this kind of literary genre.
A recommended read.
This was really a very captivating book! Once I got to reading it, I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more works from Oemler and daresay, she may oust Anne Rice as my personal literary favourite.
My only criticisms about the book (reason for 4 stars, rather than 5) are that when the author used spelling to mimic the accents of the Cockney English, Old Southerners or Negroes, I had a hard time following. I also did not like the recurrence of the word "nigger", but given the era that the book was written in, I suppose such a word was more normal than it was offensive. I would like to say though, that despite its use, I had no sense of racial prejudice in the book.
I would definitely recommend it.

About Us: Statewide History
New York StateWide Senior Action Council is a grassroots membership organization made up of individual senior citizens and senior citizen clubs from all parts of New York State. StateWide was organized in 1972 from War on Poverty funds with the goal of developing a statewide organization of older New Yorkers who could advocate for their interests and needs regarding services, programs and policies effecting older persons. StateWide's unique history and role has been to focus on the needs of the low-income and minority seniors.
With other advocacy organizations and service providers across the nation, StateWide has helped build a very successful and cost-effective aging network over the past three decades. This has reduced the number of senior citizens living in poverty by over 50%, has allowed seniors to remain in their communities, has dramatically increased quality of life, and has avoided costly institutionalization as the only alternative for long-term care.
Throughout the 1970's and 80's, StateWide has worked on a number of issues and provided trainings and educational workshops throughout the state. For example, while working on energy issues in those years, StateWide also educated seniors about the dangers of hypothermia. In the 1980's, StateWide played a key role in advocating for laws ending mandatory retirement and enacting the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program.
StateWide also began operating its Patient's Rights Helpline to assist consumers with questions and complaints about hospital patients rights and other health issues. StateWide continues to be at the forefront of the debate to ensure strong protections in hospitals, nursing homes, and other community based health care delivery systems.
Recently, StateWide has focused prescription drug costs and access, protecting Social Security and Medicare, increasing funding for important community-based services and concerns related to managed care as thousands of older New Yorkers sign up each month with health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Presentations are made in various regions of the state on these issues and on changes in the Medicare program and questions seniors need to ask before switching from traditional fee-for-service to join a Medicare HMO or other alternative.
StateWide publishes a quartely newsletter, Senior Action News, which keeps members up to date on important health and consumer issues at the local, state and national levels. Regional meetings are held regularly throughout the state and a three-day annual membership Convention is held in October at which time the membership sets its priorities for the coming year.
StateWide sends out a weekly e-mail alert during the legislative session to keep members up to date on the New York State budget process and tracks the progress of aging programs and important health and consumer oriented legislation.

George Osborne, the chancellor, took landlords by surprise when he proposed a stamp duty surcharge of three percentage points in 2015's autumn statement.
The buy-to-let market was already reeling from the chancellor's announcement in the July 2015 Summer Budget to cut mortgage interest tax relief, which could make a serious dent in landlords' profits.
The government introduced both measures in an attempt to slow the relentless rise in house prices. Many commentators blame buy-to-let landlords in particular for pushing up property values and squeezing first-time buyers out of the market.
The changes to mortgage tax relief do not come into force until April 2017. But the stamp duty hike is scheduled for April 1, 2016, and will apply to property purchases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Caravans, mobile homes and house boats are not currently liable for stamp duty and nothing will change after April.
Rates of stamp duty
Landlords will in future pay the standard rates of stamp duty, plus an extra three percentage points on each band, when they purchase a buy-to-let property.
The surcharge could add thousands of pounds to the stamp-duty bill.
Under the current regime, there is no stamp duty to pay on properties of up to £125,000. Buyers who are going to live in the property then pay:
- 2% on the portion of the sales price between £125,001 and £250,000;
- 5% between £250,001 and £925,000;
- 10% between £925,001 and £1.5m;
- and 12% on anything above £1.5m.
The rates for landlords (and anyone buying a second home) will in future be 3% on the portion of the property up to £125,000, then 5%, 8%, 13% and 15% respectively for the price tiers.
For example, anyone buying a £200,000 second home or buy-to-let property before April will pay stamp duty of £1,500: 0% on the first £125,000 and 2% on the £75,000 portion between £125,001 and £250,000.
From April, landlords and second-homers will have to pay 3% for the first £125,000 and 5% on the amount between £125,001 and £250,00, to give total bill of £7,500.
In other words, the landlord will pay five times more than an ordinary buyer.
Surcharge liability
The surcharge applies to anyone who is buying an additional property.
You will also have to pay the higher rate of stamp duty if the property you are buying replaces your main residence, but the main residence has not yet been sold.
In this instance though, you can apply for a refund provided the previous main residence is sold within 36 months.
The changes will not just affect landlords. For example, they could ensnare a parent who is buying a home for a child, unless the property is bought solely in the name of the offspring.
Couples could also be caught out. If a couple owns a property in one partner's name and buys another in the name of the other partner, the higher rates would apply.
The surcharge even extends to homes abroad. If you already own a home in Spain and buy an additional property in England, you will have to pay the higher rate of stamp duty.
Corporate responsibility
Landlords cannot sidestep the new charge by setting up a limited company as it will apply to companies as well as individuals.
The Treasury is even considering charging the higher rates of stamp duty to companies on their first purchase of a residential property.
However, it does not want to put off some of the bigger property firms. It is therefore expected to exempt companies with more than 15 properties in their portfolio.
Charities and registered social landlords will also continue to be excluded from the stamp duty changes.
Exempt properties
Some properties are also exempt from the surcharge – but it's a limited number.
Caravans, mobile homes and house boats are not currently liable for stamp duty and nothing will change after April.
The government is also excluding all properties worth less than £40,000. Residential properties worth less than £40,000 will also be ignored when determining if an additional property is being bought.

2010 Volvo XC90 R-Design V8
A real brute
Sat nav not working.
General Comments:
I just got this car last month brand new off the showroom floor. It's in a gorgeous sparkling grey. It's a bit too new to know if it will hold up in the years to come, but so far I love it.
The V8 engine matched with the 6 speed auto gearbox is extremely powerful, and has a fantastic roar to it.
The R-Design is very upmarket and luxurious, with every conceivable extra.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The medical industry enjoys its wide use of technology, especially when it comes to learning about the human anatomy. Using human anatomy models to teach the several portions of the body to young people is a very accepted practice with proven benefits.
It is possible to use a 2d model for the purpose of demonstrating the parts of the human body. However, 3ds human modeling often gives you a more effective platform for discussing the human anatomy and its various systems.
Ways To Use A 3ds Human Model
Perhaps one of the biggest reasons why 3ds human models work is because of the three-dimensional nature itself. These kind of models provide the ability to view the body or areas of it in all different angles. You can use 3d human figures with 360-degree rotations, which allows you to locate even the smallest part of the human body provided that you have a clear and accurate depiction. Typically, viewing figures in solid forms which are what 3d human models are contrary to flat ones enable you to clearly see what you are looking at.
In essence, you can view the human person from the front, rear, and even top and bottom. This 3ds human modeling makes working much easier no matter which type of audience you are presenting to. One specific way the 3ds human might be used would be in a classroom setting where students can use the anatomy 3d model to study the human nervous system.
Several surgeons may also use 3d human models during medical procedures. These 3d human models can be used in a research lab to diagnose certain human ailments.
Learning Becomes Enjoyable With 3D Models
Constructing presentations also becomes easier when using 3ds human models. Teachers can implement the use of 3d models to engage high school students in the learning process, which helps young people visually make associations between the learned features of the body and the actual visual part on the 3d human. Labeling parts of the anatomy is a cinch with 3d human models as you can rotate the model with specialty 3d or presentation software. These 3d human models can be integrated into different types of presentation applications.
Presenters who are discussing medical topics with other colleagues or who are giving community presentations can also benefit from the 3ds human models. Instead of trying to make your audience understand what you're talking about, a detailed presentation showing anatomy 3d models can help. In this instance, the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" stands true as you can perform a variety of animations with your presentation to enhance your audience's understanding of the topic. 3d models make it easier to demonstrate an action that is difficult to verbally make sense of.
Working with these types of 3ds human models requires you to use a variety of file types and applications as well. For example, the .3ds file format is perhaps the most popular of the 3d modeling formats. In addition, converting from one three-dimensional file format to another is quite easy as there is software available that can automatically convert your 3d files to a .3ds format.
As you can see, there exists a diversity of medical uses for 3ds human models. Maybe you want to display how the cardiovascular system operates through a 3d model, display the bone and joint system, or easily illustrate the major parts of the human body using a full-scale person, a digitized 3ds human is beneficial to anyone within the medical field.
Human 3d models can help further your understanding of the human anatomy. Get your anatomy 3d model right away.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
When I was little I loved drawing pictures of ladies in beautiful dresses. Give this child a multi-sided biro and a pile of scrap paper and I would be happily occupied for hours. I must have drawn hundreds, if not thousands of those big-skirted dames and it's all the fault of this book:
This book has a lot to answer for...
I think that's probably why Christian Dior's New Look was my favourite fashion moment – more than Coco Chanel's slinky jersey suits or Mary Quant's daring minis, that hopelessly romantic, feminine silhouette, all clouds of tulle and nipped-in waists, got me on an emotional level. Now I love buying '50s dresses (Vintage Emporium off Brick Lane has the best range of pristine specimens) as they suit my figure and feel amazing with their armfuls of swooshy petticoats. Yep, essentially the Ladybird edition of Cinderella has shaped my psyche more than I should probably be admitting.
I admire and envy fashion designers – grown-ups who get to live my childhood dream and draw exquisite gowns all day long. To me fashion illustrations are little works of art – just like architect's plans, they serve a technical and practical purpose while being things of beauty in themselves. In many cases, I prefer the illustration to the final frock – the designer's dream is more perfectly realised in ink and paper than it can ever be in fabric. All of which is a roundabout way of saying look at this illustration by Corrie Neilsen – isn't it gorgeous?
Corrie Neilsen's illustration for The Wren Press
And in this case, the actual dress is just as lovely as the sketch – here it is being modelled by Jade Parfitt (I love the way in this picture Jade, the horse and Jasmine Guinness are ignoring the fact that it's really cold and muddy. Total pros, all three.)
Jade Parfitt, a horse and Jasmine Guinness
Corrie was commissioned by Hilary Alexander, patron of Fashion for the Brave to create the sketch and the dress for the charity 's annual gala, which raises money for wounded servicemen and women and their families. This year it's taking place at The Dorchester on September 20 and Jade will be wearing Corrie's spectacular gown as the final look in the catwalk show. But more excitingly to a stationary nerd like me is Corrie's hook-up with The Wren Press – stationers to the Queen and the Prince of Wales and therefore proud possessors of TWO Royal Warrants. Cripes.
The Wren Press have turned a series of Corrie's illustrations into a limited edition set of postcard-sized prints which each guest at the gala will get to take home with them. The original sketches will be auctioned off at the event to raise money for the charity, along with the dress. I'm seriously considering selling a kidney and making a bid.
Handmade, bespoke stationary and couture gowns might be a million miles away from most people's reality but I for one like to know that this kind of crafts(wo)manship exists - that people out there are pushing their natural talents and energies to the very limits in order to create something astonishingly beautiful.

Of all Canon's new launches today, it is perhaps the PowerShot S90 that excites us the most.
Bringing together the sort of manual control found on the new G11, with dimensions closer to a typical compact, it should appeal to those looking to get a little more from their pocket camera.
Lurking under that matte black exterior is the same sensor as you'll find in the G11, again with the DIGIC 4 processor, and all Canon's usual technologies.
The lens offers you an impressive F2.0 max aperture, which, when combined with image stabilisation, means it's a contender for better low light shooting.
Sitting around the bottom of that 28-105mm (35mm equiv.) lens is the new Control Ring, allowing easy change of settings, with a "Ring Func." Button on the top letting you program it.
Yours for £449, it will be hitting shelves in September.

Brussels -- A new EU Regulation on ship recycling has been voted yesterday by the European Council, and already approved by the European Parliament. The NGO Shipbreaking Platform and European Environmental Bureau (EEB), and the more than 160 environmental, human and labour rights organisations they represent, denounce the regulation for effectively postponing and possibly ridding the EU with its responsibility to provide solutions to the global shipbreaking crisis. The NGO coalition warns that the Regulation will fail to change the current state of play.
Additional measures blocked
Beaching sites will not be approved for EU listing, which prevents EU flagged ships from being beached. But, large shipping nations such as Greece, Malta, Cyprus blocked additional measures proposed by the European Parliament to strengthen the Regulation, such as ensuring traceability of hazardous wastes dumped in developing countries and clearly linking liability for these wastes to the polluter, who in this case is the shipowner.
So the regulation does nothing to prevent shipowners from jumping register to a non-EU flag prior to sending their ships for breaking in order to avoid falling under the requirements of the new EU law. In fact, the Regulation may even have the unintended effect of shrinking the number of ships registered under an EU flag, and therefore making the Regulation counterproductive to other EU initiatives aimed at building a more robust EU fleet.
Conflicting with existing conventions
According to NGO Shipbreaking Platform, the new ship recycling Regulation conflicts with the United Nations Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal and the Basel Ban Amendment, both of which are instruments that have been ratified and implemented into the national legislation of all EU Member States via the European Waste Shipment Regulation, and of which the latter forbids the export of hazardous wastes from the EU to non-OECD countries. Article 29 of the law on ship recycling adopted yesterday removes hazardous waste ships from the scope of application of the European Waste Shipment Regulation.
We fear that the Regulation will end up applying to very few ships said Jeremy Wates, Secretary General of the EEB. Unless an economic incentive for all ships calling at EU ports is rapidly introduced, circumvention of the law will persist, and the European shipping industry will continue to be at the heart of scandals involving severe pollution of coastal zones and exploitation of vulnerable workers in developing countries, he added.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's been nearly four years since Hurricane Sandy tore through Staten Island, causing unparalleled destruction and claiming the lives of 24 residents -- more than in any other borough.
Some of the victims were found in their homes in Dongan Hills, Midland Beach, Oakwood Beach, Ocean Breeze and South Beach. Others died trying to escape as Sandy intensified. Still others were ripped from their families by the storm's surge.
But almost all of the Island victims were found in evacuation zones as indicated by this map.
Four years later, we remember those lives lost forever to the storm:
- Beatrice Spagnuolo, 79, drowned in her home at 164 Grimsby Ave. in Midland Beach following the storm surge.
- In a house nearby at 158 Grimsby Ave., police discovered the body of Mrs. Spagnuolo's best friend, Anastasia Rispoli, 73.
- John Filipowicz, 51, and his son, John Filipowicz Jr., 20, were found hugging each other, locked in a final father-and-son embrace, in the basement of their home at 72 Fox Beach Ave., Oakwood Beach.
- Leonard Montalto was found nearby at 176 Fox Beach Ave. The 53-year-old had become trapped inside his basement.
- Ella Norris, 89, drowned in her home at 728 Buel Ave. in Ocean Breeze.
- Artur Kasprzak took an oath to protect and serve. The 28-year-old police officer heralded his family of six adults and a 15-month-old baby to the attic of his home at 20 Doty Ave. in South Beach. After doing that, he went down to the basement, but never returned -- officials believe he was electrocuted when live wires touched the floodwaters.
- Angela Dresch, her mother, Patricia, and her father, George, 55, were riding out the storm in their home at 687 Yetman Ave. when a catastrophic wave ripped the house apart. Young Angela, 13, was the first confirmed death of the storm; she was found under debris on an adjoining street. George's body was found a couple days later in a wooded area off Brighton Street only blocks away from their Tottenville home. Six months after the storm, Patricia said she was given "a second chance in life."
- Andrew Sammarco, 61, became trapped in his home at 146 Mills Ave., South Beach, when water rushed into the basement, pinning him behind a door and preventing him from exiting.
- Officers found James Rossi, 85, in deep water in the backyard of his Ocean Breeze home at 575 Quincy Ave. His family had reported him missing a day before his body was discovered.
- Jack Paterno, 65, was found dead in his home at 787 Nugent Ave., Midland Beach, during a wellness check.
- Police found the body of the 59-year-old Patricia Bevan in her Midland Beach home at 638 Hunter Ave. One of her dogs, Cutie, a Pekingese, was found by the front door. The other, Elvis, a black Lab, was in her arms.
- The body of Anna Gesso, 62, was found by police inside her home at 299 Naughton Ave. after responding to a 911 call. She had inherited the Dongan Hills home from her mother.
- Eugene Contrubis, 62, was found dead inside his home at 162 Kiswick St. in Midland Beach.
- The youngest victims of the storm were Great Kills brothers Connor and Brendan Moore. The boys, ages 4 and 2 respectively, were ripped from their mother after her car was submerged on Capodanno Boulevard. After a frantic search, the boys' bodies were discovered in a marsh at the dead end of McLaughlin Street in South Beach.
- Walter Colborne, 89, and his wife, Marie, 66, died trying to escape the storm. The two were found in a wooded lot outside their car along the coast of their Great Kills community. They were driving away from their Harbour Court home when the storm struck, police said, and it's believed the couple of 26 years climbed out of the car as the waters rose.
- George P. O'Regan, 79, didn't live in an evacuation zone, but authorities believe he was killed by Sandy all the same. He suffered a fatal spinal fracture after the electricity went out in his apartment building at the New Lane Houses in Rosebank and he slipped and fell in a wet, dark hallway.
- Frank Suber of St. George was walking through Lower Manhattan when the storm hit. The surge overpowered the 55-year-old and pushed him through the doors of a commercial establishment at 90 Broad St., according to police.
- Siblings David Haggerty, 65, and Charlotte Brewster, 74, were found dead inside their home at 1025 Olympia Blvd. in Midland Beach. The two decided to stay after water only covered two of their front steps following Hurricane Irene.
- David B. Maxwell, 66, died when his home at 110 Mapleton Ave., Midland Beach, was hit by Sandy's storm surge.

This may be a little strange to some but have you ever made noodles out of zucchini? Now, don't expect it to taste exactly like pasta because it is not, however you can make a light, satisfying, pasta-like dish with it.
Zucchini is low in calories (one medium-sized zucchini has just 25 calories), and has large amounts of folate, potassium, manganese and vitamin A. By incorporating zucchini into your balanced diet, you will reap many health benefits including protection against colon cancer as well as preventing heart disease and related symptoms such as high cholesterol. When eating zucchini, you should also eat the rind because it contains the nutrient beta-carotene, a vitamin that acts as an antioxidant thus protecting cells against oxidation damage.
Avocado's seem to get shunned due to its high fats content, however science is now studying and revealing numerous avocado health benefits that we all should be embracing by considering the avocado a wise food choice. Today, the avocado is deemed as being one of the healthiest foods in the world and is listed in the top 10 superfoods!
Avocado benefits are diverse considering they are rich in over 20 vitamins (including antioxidants), minerals and phytonutrients, dietary fiber, phytosterols, amino acids, health-promoting monounsaturated fats and more!
Ounce per ounce, the avocado has more beta-carotene, potassium, magnesium, folic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, vitamin K and protein than any other fruit. Now, that's impressive.

The Watch
Troubled by unfortunate event after unfortunate event, The Watch sidesteps faux pas to come out on top as a consistently funny sci-fi comedy that doesn't let its high concept tangle up a bevy of one-liners. The script, penned by Jared Stern, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, assumes you've seen a few movies before entering the theater (mainly, any sci-fi movie made in the 1980s). ''Summer movie logic'' is the foundation for The Watch's ridiculous plot, which finds four adult nincompoops teaming up to form a Neighborhood Watch, trying to solve the murder of a local Costco employee, and eventually pursuing a killer extraterrestrial. Instead of making sense of it all, The Watch wisely focuses on its four leads: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade a quartet whose bro banter goes a long way in spicing up the dust-covered material. There's nothing revelatory to be found in The Watch, but the cast's knack for improv, a poetry of the profane, makes the adventure worth viewing.
Director Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod) establishes his two-dimensional characters quickly and bluntly, smashing together broad personality types like a Hadron Collider of cinematic comedy. Stiller's Evan is a micromanaging do-gooder who can't find time for his wife; Hill's Franklin is a mildly disturbed weapons enthusiast yearning to join the police; Ayoade is the quaint weirdo who joins the Watch to fill the void left by his divorce; Vince Vaughn is Vince Vaughn: a loud, crass gent looking for a bit of male bonding. The ragtag team assembles to fight crime, but they spend most of their time drinking beers in a minivan an affair they dub ''stakeouts.'' A perfect opportunity for banter.
For a movie about enforcing the law and alien invasions, there's a surprising lack of action in The Watch. Long stretches of the film see the central players yapping back and forth about everything: Russian nesting dolls, peeing in cans, or the similar viscosities of alien goo and human excrement. Charisma goes a long way, and Vaughn does much of the heavy lifting, making up for lost time out of the spotlight (he's been virtually nonexistent since 2005's Wedding Crashers). The man spits out jokes like no other the rest of the cast barely keeps up. Ayoade balances out Vaughn's bombardment with a tempered, timed delivery that's uniquely British and rarely found on the American big screen. Even when nothing's happening in The Watch, it's rarely boring.
The Watch is at its best when it goes a step further, mixing the group in with outsiders and throwing them off their rhythm. Billy Crudup cuts loose as a creepy neighbor and its delightfully weird, while the always-impressive Rosemarie DeWitt as Evan's wife Abby brings unexpected warmth to the couple's relationship. Sadly, The Watch mishandles its greatest asset: the aliens. The film never finds a pitch perfect blend of comedy and science fiction (Ghostbusters or Galaxy Quest this is not); a few scenes where the two come together hint at the best possible scenario, but more often than not, The Watch avoids its sci-fi roots. A moment in which the guys haul a dead alien back to their man cave plays like an E.T.-inspired version of The Hangover credits. It's lewd and ridiculous, but the rest of the film struggles to maintain that energy.
Stiller, Vaughn, Hill, and Ayoade have all proved themselves able funnymen, capable of taking weak and tired material up a notch, which they're forced to do in every moment of The Watch. Schaffer can handle his talent, but his direction isn't adding anything to the mix. By the third slow-motion-set-to-gangster-rap scene, The Lonely Island member's obsession with non-cool-coolness is officially just an attempt at being cool (which is not all that funny). The Watch has a greater opportunity than most comedy blockbusters to go absolutely bonkers: it's rated R. But instead of taking its twist and running with it, the movie plays it safe. In this case, safe is non-stop jokes about the many facets of human reproduction.
Hollywood.com rated this film 2 1/2 stars.

Welcome to Year 1/2 Miss Harrison's Class
Your teacher will very soon be filling this page with exciting class news, pictures of things we've done and more.
Do you have any ideas for this page? Why not let your Teacher know!
Have you seen the Kids' Zone? Play games and visit some cool websites. You can vote for your favourites.
Welcome to KS1!
We are a year 1 and 2 class. Our teacher is Miss Harrison. We are supported by Mrs Foster, Mr Smith and Mrs Jackson.
Our classroom is a fantastic place to learn. It is stimulating, fun and always busy!
We work very well as a team and enjoy our varied and creative curriculum.
We enjoy daily numeracy lessons, where we are challenged daily and given independent opportunities to apply our learning. We enjoy lots of practical activities and we love to learn outside the classroom and use the outdoors. We use our classroom numeracy area during afternoon work to practise and extend our numeracy skills.
We learn our literacy skills through our Read, Write Inc programme which we really enjoy! We start with a daily speed sounds lesson where we learn our phonic sounds in a fun, systematic way with the help of Fred Frog! Our literacy lessons follow; we spend a lot of time reading with our perfect partners. We learn lots of green and red words so we can become great readers! We use a lot of drama activities to help us with our writing. We love it when our teachers dress up!
We love completing our independent learning challenges in all our busy areas. This allows us to practise and 'show off' our understanding and skills from our learning in Maths, English and Topic. We are very lucky to have so many lovely areas to work in; including the sand, play dough, craft, reading and listening, construction, maths and outdoor areas. Grown-ups also work with us in the busy areas, as well as on our focus tasks. They know we work best when our learning is real, relevant and fun.
Our P.E days are Thursday and Friday.
Look out for our topic newsletters each half term to keep you up to date on our learning.
Miss Harrison is very proud of all of us for working well together and trying our best every day!

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
We wanted to know which network show you wanted to save and you spoke loud and clear: iReporters want their "Chuck"!
Fans of NBC's action comedy are determined to get it renewed for a third season and hardcore fans turned up in droves posting their videos on iReport.com saying why they want the show to come back ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" was also well represented.) We received iReports from four countries.
Well, the great folks at CNN.com Live just had to let the "Chuck" crew know how much they were loved on iReport, so they put iReporter GrayJones, one of the first people online to suggest a "Save Chuck" campaign, on air with the show's stars Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez. GrayJones got to ask three of the biggest questions posed by fans, and Levi and Gomez thanked him for his efforts. It was truly a magical moment, and you can check it out here!
In the meantime, if you want to share your "Chuck" love, or tell us why another show should be saved, post your video here!
Chuck?... no... "up-chuck"...
Love that the fan voice was so well represented. And Zac and Josh are hilarious! Love those guys!
It was a blast to talk with Zac and Josh! I have spoken with them before over the phone, and they are the real deal. Their chemistry both off-screen and on is very obvious, and their almost-brotherly friendship on the show is one of the most endearing reasons to watch Chuck.
Chuck has something for everyone, young and old. Its excellent comedy, romance, and relationship writing comes from writers of such shows as Gossip Girl, Family Guy, Veronica Mars and the O.C. The editing is award-winning. The actors are all extremely talented and versatile. It deals with important themes of family relationships, confidence in yourself, and making a difference in our world, and yet not in a heavy handed or obvious way. The tone is unlike any other show on television. And it does all this without resorting to unnecessary sex, nudity, or bad language, so it is safe for virtually all ages.
Above all that, it is FUN.
What other show can say all this?
We love Chuck! It's about time there is something good on TV. I'm sick of the 'reality shows' dominating the airwaves (and the airheads that come with it). Chuck is something I can watch that is relaxing, funny, and unique. Save Chuck!
My entire family loves Chuck and have been following it since the pilot. When our daughter's grades started to drop she reminded herself that "the cool spies all went to college." And, the intersect vs folcrum (good vs evil) plots always keeps her spirits up that there isn't all bad out there in the world. I hope to see NBC keep an awesome show!!
I wouldn't say all that about chuck....but what I like about it is that its silly and that's all it ever claims to be. Its just silly fun.
Unfortunately people watch this dancing, singing crap more....and its cheaper to produce, so its hard for scripted shows to stick around.
Chuck is my favorite show I would boycott nbc if they cancel the show
Chuck makes my Monday nights! If I have had a bad day of work, I like to come home and laugh a bit with Chuck and Casey! :)
I usually like these shows. I just never got into this one.
I'm a huge fan of Chuck. Can't wait for season 3 of Chuck. NBC is crazy not to renew CHUCK. We need a season 3 after that cliffhanger.
For CHUCK Fans, see my Custom Intersect Video Wall created with Motion and After Effects.
I will be posting a tutorial on how to make your own video wall like this in Apple's Motion soon. In the meantime enjoy the video.
Watch the Custom Intersect Video and tell me what you think at http://www.insitewebsitedesign.com/intersect-video-wall-sequence-from-chuck
"Chuck Me"
Chuck must be saved! We need all the geek heros we can get. And Zac is way too cute to take off the air.
I registered just to comment on Chuck. Josh Gomez and Zach Levi are both awesome and talented, and Chuck is the best show on TV right now.
Long Live Chuck!
Long Live Chuck!
Please NBC, do something right this year!
Chuck? Really? Watched it once and thought it was the dumbest thing on TV after The Office.
If Fox TV can't market a show with Summer Glau as a fembot, what is this country coming to?
Monday used to be a depressing day, but with Chuck, it became my favorite day. Chuck is the best show!
"Chuck" offers the hope that anyone can become extraordinary, save the day, and find their soul-mate in spite of - or because of - their limitations. While it's formula and gratuitous, it's also entertaining and in a tangible sense more real than the reality shows that are increasingly dominating and infecting our prime-time lives. Save Chuck or live with continually being voted off the island.
YES CHUCK! There are blogs all over the internet with Chuck fans demanding that the show be renewed. Check Facebook or MySpace or even the iReports here!
It is not top of the line brain food entertainment, but it is fun. The character Chuck always takes the high road when it comes to moral decisions and the right thing to do. Chuck appeals to young and not so young in a lighthearted and appealing way. I find it much more entertaining than watching obese people lose weight! What are those network suits thinking???
There is something wrong with the Nielson ratings - I don't buy it. Everyone I know watches Chuck. It is the smartest show on tv right now. Most shows I record then watch them the next day - I can't with Chuck! I need my Chuck immediately!!
Ever since Chuck started, we've watched! Our whole family watches it!! It is the only program I get my husband to turn to when there is any sports on t.v.!!! I like the silliness of it!! What is wrong with a show that is just FUN???!!!??!
I watched Chuck the first season, and then lost interest. Then I discovered Sarah Connor....I have to say I was dubious at first, Terminator on tv...didn't think they could do it. But they far exceeded my expectations. Chuck is a good show, but Sarah Connor is AWESOME
I just discovered Chuck recently and I'm attempting to catch up. I mean it's ridiculous but so charming. The character of Chuck is like a mixture of Jim from the Office and Seth Cohen from the OC, and I find him absolutely adorable. I need my fix of cute fictional characters! Basically, I support anything Josh Schwartz because honestly he is just amazing. Can we please save the few shows on tv that aren't completely terrible/"reality"?! Save Chuck!
Please save Chuck. It is one of my favourites here in France, even though it is translated into French.
Save Chuck and save it for 2 years at least. A show with potential and brainstorming story. We call it Chuck. Save Chuck no matter what the cost is. Love Chuck Love Sarah and LOVE MORGAN definitely. We want Chuck.
Bring back CHUCK
Who's Chuck?
Very glad to see Chuck is back for next season, even if it has to share a timeslot with Heroes. Chuck is our "Hero" anyway.

i want macOS yosemite where can i find that disk
- Asked by Sammy J from St.pauls
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
There never was a disk. Since OS 10.7, all versions of OS X are downloaded through the App Store app (which is on every Mac since OS 10.6.8).
However, Yosemite (OS 10.10) is no longer available directly from Apple. Since OS 10.11 supported all the same Mac hardware as both OS 10.9 and OS 10.10, Apple no longer made OS 10.9 and OS 10.10 available.
(Note: OS 10.7 and OS 10.8 are still available by purchasing a redemption code through the online Apple Store.)
If your Mac was supported by Yosemite, the App Store app should be able to let you know if you can install OS 10.11 or OS 10.12. (If your Mac is supported by OS 10.11, the App Store app only makes OS 10.11 available if your Mac can not upgrade directly to OS 10.12.)

Slow Boatin' to Your Favorite Music Festival
On the Southeastern outer coast of Alaska a few small fishing towns meets the Gulf. One particular town happens to be Sitka and is home to a very unique music event named Homeskillet Festival. One of the few festivals in Alaska that promotes more than just bluegrass, Homeskillet has become an exciting experience for people spending their summer in The Last Fontier while still looking for new and innovative music. However, the small town is located on the edge of a brown bear occupied island. Baranoff isn't cheap or easy to arrive on.

On the side of the law, but standing outside it, he dispenses his own brand of justice one criminal at a time. In Paris, a dying man claims his brother can make gold... a secret that men are prepared to kill for.
In London, a small-time American criminal sets up a violent gang, only to learn that there are certain things the Saint will not put up with. And in the Scilly Isles, drug-smuggling, drugged beer, and a damsel in distress combine to make for a most unusual holiday for Simon Templar.
In these three stories, the Saint needs all his wits to survive - and to stay out of jail.
Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919. He left Cambridge University early when his first novel was accepted for publication. He wrote novels about the Saint throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors.

Not Politically Correct Snapshots in Time!
As I've written previously, Leslie Charteris' Saint series is a picture in time of 1930's England much as Dashiell Hammett & Raymond Chandler provide snapshots in time for the same period in American San Fransisco and Los Angles - warts and all. The prejudices of the time with the bigotry and racial attitudes of the day are rampant throughout the books. The "N" word is used in ways that may surprise many American readers to reflect attitudes of the Britons of the day at all levels of society.
Where Dashiell Hammett and his characters are terse and taciturn, Leslie Charteris is loquacious, but Simon Templar is one of the most loquacious and relaxed characters in the genre history! Reading these books one can see the development of the genre as we know it today.
Mr. Tefler delivers all characterizations with flair and verve.
