Sorry, ladies. Joseph Morgan is off the market.
The actor, who currently heads up the CW's The Originals, wed his Vampire Diaries costar Persia White in an intimate ceremony in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on July 5.
"It had a very rustic feel to it," White tells PEOPLE. "There was nothing about it that was overwhelming or very huge or fabulous in that way. We tried to keep everything really intimate and beautiful and sort of going along with nature."
The bride wore a Vera Wang dress with a cathedral-length veil, while the groom sported an ivory-colored silk tux with black lapels by Miguel Wilson. "And then I had a bow tie," adds Morgan. "In fact, the bow tie was the first bow tie I've ever tied myself, so I was quite proud of that."
The couple, who met on the set of season 3 of The Vampire Diaries, exchanged vows in front of 26 guests at a private villa, within sight of where they got engaged.
"I think one of the reasons we picked it was because we love the ocean and we both grew up by the sea," White says. "To be by the sea was wonderful. And the people of Jamaica are just wonderful."
So, who made the exclusive guest list? "It was mostly family, a handful of close friends," Morgan says. "My best man was my best friend of almost 20 years, Matt Ryan. He actually plays John Constantine on the new NBC show Constantine, but we've been friends since we were teenagers."
The pair danced to Florence + the Machine's "Never Let Me Go" for their first turn around the dance floor. But their favorite moment involved a band of Jamaican drummers.
"We had this great group called the Children of the Drums," Morgan says. "It was six Jamaican drummers, and they got everybody up on the dance floor. At one point, all of our guests were on the dance floor, which is an achievement, I think."
The food wasn't too shabby, either, especially the cake, which was vegan – in keeping with the couple's plant-based menu. "It was a triple-layer, chocolate on the inside and vanilla icing," says White. "A beautiful, amazing cake."
What's next for the couple? Well, in addition to working on more film and TV projects together, they hope to start a family. Says White: "Little cute mini Josephs!"

The Film of the Book - Sally Nicholls
Actually, that's something of an understatement. 'Ways to Live Forever' is being made into a film right now.
Somewhere up in Newcastle there are about fifty people standing around in the cold holding esoteric job titles like Best Boy and Continuity. There are two women whose job it is to pick clothes for my characters. There are people with clapper boards and three full-time drivers and a catering van and a whole team of producers and even a tutor for the child actors, like something out of Noel Streatfield. And all of this attention is focused on one or two of the actors for something like an hour, in order to produce thirty seconds worth of film.
It's bizarre.
The whole thing is, of course, very, very exciting. Imagine watching a troupe of grown men and women acting out scenes from the back of your imagination - taking silly things you scribbled down on a back of an envelope deeply seriously - playing with lights and colours and camera angles absolutely seriously, to capture something that you only put in to dig yourself out of a plot hole, or to fill in the gap between two important scenes. I've seen some of the early rushes, and the whole thing is going to look gorgeous.
On another level, it is of course not my imagination at all. Nobody looks exactly like I imagined them (although the boy playing Sam comes close) - everyone else looks more like film stars. The house is bigger than I pictured it, and the emphasis has been placed in slightly different places, which makes it very definitely the product of the very talented people making the film, rather than me.
In some ways, this makes it much more interesting to watch. When I was first sent the script, I was too frightened to open the attachment in case the story was very different from my book. When I did read it, the problem was almost the opposite - the film is very faithful, and so much of my dialogue has been used that reading the script was like hearing your own voice played back to you on tape - too raw to enjoy.
The best parts of the script-reading experience were seeing my jokes taken out of context, or visualised, or exaggerated in ways I hadn't expected. I describe one character as looking like a French spy, for example - in the film he's spotlighted, fedora down, in dramatic silhouette.
Another throwaway line nearly made me cry reading the script. A character in the novel remarks that once Sam - my narrator - is dead, he's going to steal all the royalties from his book and go to the Caribbean. It's a funny line in the book, nothing more. In the film, the little scene ends and Felix switches on the film camera and delivers the line face-on. It's unexpectedly poignant, because you know he isn't going to survive the film either.
Seeing someone else make something completely different out of my story is like standing ten paces back from it - almost like approaching it as a disinterested reader. I noticed mistakes in my writing that I never spotted while editing. But the director's characters touched me in a way my own never did.
I can't wait to see the finished thing.

I'm envious, Sally, it must be such an exciting experience. I do remember going to hear a short story I'd written recorded on the BBC and seeing how what I'd written was being changed, translated into a different medium just by being read. I'm so glad it seems to be a positive thing for you, and I know some writers haven't enjoyed their books being filmed. You're having to let go of your subject-matter, into the hands of someone else. I'm looking forward to watching the film!!

Sally... this is wonderful news! Congratulations! What an incredible experience to 'see' it all come alive. I'd be hard-pressed to stay away from the set! Look forward to watching it.

Sally, I am going to have to run out and buy a mountain of hankies for when I go and see the film. I've already sobbed loudly over your book in a crowded cafe. What an amazing experience for you. I hope you'll blog about it some more as the filming proceeds.

Looking forward to that. And why shouldn't people be running around trying to make your ideas real? Someone has to tell them what to do.

Thank you. It is very, very exciting, if a little surreal.

I'm looking forward to it too! Spooky though it was, I think it must be great to have something made that's faithful to your work – not my experience, as you know! I'll be blogging in the new year on friends' exciting 2010 projects, so can you tell me what month it's out, and what certificate? Thanks. And congrats!

Congratulations Sally, what an amazing - but understandably strange - experience, seeing your characters 'in the flesh'.

That was one nasty tiger, but considering the circumstances her cub will be pretty tame in comparison since it will be growing up among humans (don't underestimate feral instincts though). Now iirc, wasn't it that jerk we saw in episode 1 that destroyed the altar? Still wonder if that really made the tiger go berserk, especially if fixing the altar didn't have any effect. At any rate, I have one thing I've been planning to say since the first episode if it didn't happen again:
Needs more tailgrab!

When I first watched this, I was shocked at the opening. There is this character in the OP that looked frighteningly like Suigintou from Rozen Maiden, except for the shorter hair, more tribal outfit and the blue eyes.
But I'm keeping my eyes peered for this one.

I really struggled watching the first episode... I just thought the artwork was bland, the show was boring and the one guy who was bullying eruruu or whatever her name is was extremely annoying, plus I'm not a fan for the "cute" cat ears or whatever on everyone. But the more I think about it the more I realized this show just doesn't fit into the type of animes I usually watch so maybe thats why I disliked it so much.

As for me, I like this kind, and I think this one is superb. I am really getting into the characters and Hakuoro is pretty cool. I like everyone in the village and Eruruu is so cute. The story is neat in that it makes you wonder about Hakuoro's past and what is going to happen, but on the side you feel for the village. As a bonus, I really like the sound track, especially the OP. So overall I really like this anime so far.

Surprising myself, I really like this anime. That one annoying guy should die. He instantly got on my nerves with his attitude. I guess kudos goes to the director.
Is it just me or are they hinting that:

I'm surprised on how close Eruru is to Hakuoro, His only been living in the village for only a short time. Typical of him reminding her of one of her love ones. Well I consider this cute then anoying, cause female leads clinging onto the male lead is really anoying and it degrades women. Luckily it doesnt happen too often though (its usually the male lead getting beaten up by the main girls, witch when I think about it can also be anoying).
I wonder what the time frame is before the cub grows that big.
Oh and Aruru calling Hkouro dad was very cute.

when i first heard about this series i was a little skeptical i had never heard of the game before and really didnt know too much about it. Well after watching 2 episodes i am in love with it. I think this is the series i have been waiting for. The opening theme is great and i cant help but to sing along with my limited japanese skills of course. I the charcters and animation is beautiful and Aruruu is so cute it hurts (Tail grab scene). In the opening scene there looks like there is so intense fighting going on looked really cool. I definetly going to add this to my favorite series list so far.
I do have a couple of questions why did the grandmother give An-Chan that the name of the father it seems like a real honor to recieve the name of someones child? Do he remeind her of him?
Can anyone tell me about the game and where i might find it also is there a manga and how is it compared to the anime so far. thanks everyone

I am by far not an optimistic person, and quite ceptic in some cases.., so naturaly when I saw the first episode I realy didn't enjoy it, to say the least...
The artwork / animation as the person who wrotte the post I just quoted mencioned, it was bland, rather pale and plain.., something from a anime made in 2006 I would have expected ALOT better...; adding that and the slow progress in the episode made it a bit dull and boring to watch..
So its safe to say that we most have struggled throught this episode..
But.., I have been surprised before.., thus.. I toke alot of attention to the posts and saw the good positive feedback on the second episode;
thus.., I had decided to post my reviews based on when I'd finished watching the 2nd one.
Some of the best anime I have seen started out, well lets say.., not in the best of ways.., the best example that comes to my mind just now is Karin..., and who would have told me it would turn out to be THAT good
In this case, Utawarerumono (I'm going to have some trouble writting this everytime) may yet surprise me again...
I don't think for the dramatic side, but more for the action scenes.., altough its FAR too soon to even start making prognostics about the story and where it will lead too; after all... we are still introducing characters.., and only now we have a name for the person in the Oni mask that Eruruu saved (Hakuoro).
But as we can see in the OP, there are ALOT of fight scenes with alot of yet to introduced characters.., I have re-seen the OP a few times and it clearly shows me that they gived the action scenes they're due work, alot of blood and detail; and this we can confirm just by watching episode 2 aswell.
So.., I am hoping for a maybe well detailed story, possibility some tragic / dramatic moments as it goes but with alot of fight scenes and action, not to mencione a good amount of characters (judging by what I saw in the OP) - all I hope now is that they're caracter unfolds nicely.
Now, on topic for the 2nd episode :
Ah also.., I've mencioned this in the Rozen Maiden thread.., its about a character we see in the OP where some people say she looks exactly like Suigin Tou..
I realy have to disagree..., I've stated the more detailed reasons on the RM thread but.. just to make it short... her face, hairstyle, eyes, even personality from what I could capture from the OP... realy isn't like Suigin Tou... in any way in fact..
Just because she has wings and white hair doesn't mean she looks like her
If I'd say she would be a copy of someone I'd go for Meia from Vandread..., EXACTLY same face & hairstyle

I'll keep walking.
Personally, judging from the CGs from the game, I can pretty much tell that it's gonna be quite an enjoyable series, even though it has progressed very little in these two episodes. I'm looking forward to keeping up with it.
But again, my taste for anime isn't what I call "fine", so I normally like things I'm already familiar with.
Anyway, here's a pretty crappy version of the OP, if anyone wants it. It was cropped in Windows Movie Maker with low quality, so I could flood my MSN contacts with it and make some of them join the love. (Managed to do it with 2 already :P).
About 6 mbs, so anyone with an average connection can get it pretty fast.

This is how it works: The Dolphins work the entire day at trying to improve their roster during the NFL draft and after all the rounds are complete -- rounds two and three were held Friday -- then both general manager Jeff ireland and coach Joe Philbin leave the team war room and meet with the media.
That meeting on Friday happened around 10:45 p.m. and the two men discussed the additions of Boise State cornerback Jamar Taylor, Tennessee offensive lineman Dallas Thomas and Utah State cornerback Willie Davis.
This is what was said:
Jeff Ireland
(Opening remarks) – "Good evening. So we obviously gave up the 42nd pick yesterday when we met for Dion (Jordan). So at (selection) 54 we took Jamar Taylor, a cornerback from Boise State. Great kid. Prototypical size and speed. Very smart. Very physical. Can play inside and outside. So we're very happy to have him. We took Dallas Thomas at (selection) 77 from Tennessee. He's played guard, he's played tackle. He's very versatile. I'll let Coach (Joe Philbin) address where he plans on playing him. But, you know, big, big physical kid. I'm looking forward to having him on the team. We traded the 82nd pick and then back into the third round with Green Bay and selected Will Davis, another cornerback out of Utah State. Another prototypical left cornerback that can play inside and outside. Very skilled athlete. Doesn't have a lot of experience. He's kind of been through the junior college route. Really came on the scene this year. Played at the Senior Bowl. Had a great look at him there and looking forward to him to developing fast. So at that point I will open to any questions. Then, obviously the trade that tonight (sent), Davone Bess to Cleveland. As I told you last night, it was kind of a dead issue as I left the building yesterday. It heated back up again today and we went ahead and did the trade."
(On the rationale behind trading out of the third round and then later trading back into it)– "Well, we had a couple of players there and when you have a couple of players you feel like there's value there that you know you're going to get one so we traded back (and) picked up (an) additional fourth. (We) saw some corners go off, you know there, and I felt like we need to go back in there and get him. So that's what happened. Lost a couple of players on board at that point and felt like we needed to go back in and get him."
(On what stood out about Jamar Taylor)– "Well, like I said, he's a great kid. You know what you love about him is he's very smart. He's very physical. He's got very good ball skills. He plays with a great awareness, instinct and so just a combination of all the things he can bring the intelligence, the character, the speed, the physicality, the ball skills. Those are all things that obviously we covet in a cornerback position. And I felt like he had those things. Specifically after combine, I mean we put everybody on the board and so I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary."
(On if Dallas Thomas will play guard or tackle) – "I'm going to let coach address where he's going to play him, but I think he can play either way."
(On needing to create more takeaways and how Taylor and Will Davis will help with that)- "I think both Will and Jamar have very good ball skills. Taylor is very physical. He can get it out. He can go up and get it or he can knock it out with forced fumbles and PBU's (pass breakups) and Will, he's kind of a very, very good at getting the ball out from a PBU standpoint. Both those guys have very good ball skills in my opinion. I think they're both going to be play makers."
(On why he traded Davone Bess) – "Why trade Davone Bess? Well obviously we did some things in the offseason that made us feel a lot better about the position. I'll let coach (Head Coach Joe Philbin) address some of the things as well, but we feel very good about the group we have with Mike (Wallace) and Brandon (Gibson) and Brian (Hartline) and Rishard (Matthews), so it felt like we had a little bit of value there that we could move on from. I wish Davone the best actually."
(On whether the Brandon Albert trade is still on the table) – "You know, never say never. I mean I don't want to lead you guys on to anything, but I don't think that's going to really amount to much. I'll give you my personal opinion. Like I said there is really nothing more to it today than there was yesterday."
(On whether Will Davis is more of a project and if he can play some safety) – "I don't believe (so). I see Will as more of a corner. I think he can play inside and outside, but his corner skill set is probably not that of a safety. I think he is more of a corner. And is he more of a project? I think guys develop in different stages in their career. Obviously with his experience level you would think that he may be a little bit of a developmental player, but I think the guy has the skill set to play in this league. I think that with the great coaching that we have and the players around him, he will develop fast."
(On whether he feels that he has his five starters on the offensive line with Dallas Thomas now in the fold) – "Well that's yet to be determined. He's going to be one of the guys that is competing for a spot. I feel very good about where Dallas is going to play, but coach is going to say, 'hey it's a competitive position,' obviously, and we may not be done yet. We'll see."
(On what he saw in Dallas Thomas that made him think he can help this offensive line) – "We spent a lot of time watching him play in 2011 and 2012. I personally made a school call there, and I love the versatility. In certain games he can play guard, he can play tackle. Obviously the versatility. When you see a big guy that can pull and move his feet and play guard and tackle on the left side, that's pretty unique. So obviously the versatility was one component."
(On whether he thought he was going to revamp the defensive backfield going into tonight) – "Not necessarily. You don't really know how the board is going to fall. Obviously I thought this was a pretty good corner draft and that's basically how the board fell. You had some good corners on the board and they're core positions; the corner position, the tackle position, the guard position and obviously defensive end. Again I think they are prototypical players, size players, they're very good character guys, and they are core position players."
(On his comments earlier about there being a position that he really liked, and whether he addressed that position today or has yet to do so) – "Well today is over, and I liked today, so I'm going to like tomorrow too. But, it was a certain area of the draft that I certainly liked today for sure. It was more or less the second round, but a lot of players were picked off our board just about where we had them. It was a good day. I feel really good about it."
Joe Philbin
(On Dallas Thomas' versatility) - "Same thing Jeff said – we watched on film both years. Obviously, this year, he primarily played at the left guard and the year before tackle. So we like his versatility. We liked his athleticism. We thought he had a pretty good technique and I think he has a bright future. He's a fluid athlete. We like his size and we thought he was well-coached at Tennessee. So we'll see. We're going to start him on the left side. I'm not sure where yet. We've got to see how the weekend unfolds and take a look at things, but we're excited about him."
(On how the competition Thomas faced at Tennessee helps him transition to the NFL) - "Yeah, it's good film to watch. We threw on last year, we watch him against South Carolina, at LSU. This year, I think we watched him against Florida, Georgia and those type of teams. You get a look at him against different fronts, different schemes. It's a great coaches league, the SEC. So I thought we got a good look at him."
(On his thoughts on trading Davone Bess) - "I wish him the best of luck in Cleveland. He worked his tail off for us. He played well and he had a great attitude the two weeks in the offseason program and I wish him well."
(On if he doesn't know yet where he wants Thomas to play) - "We'll see. You've got to get your hands on people a little bit. We've seen him play both positions. I think he's got ability at both spots. We'll see how the depth chart unfolds."
(On if he feels good about the defensive backfield) - "I like the two players that we took today, absolutely. I like them a lot."
(On if Thomas is polished at both guard and tackle)- "He's a pretty good technique player. Like I said, I think Harry Hiestand did a very good job with him. I think Sam Pittman was his line coach this year. Those guys are very, very good college football coaches and you can see that on the tape. He takes a good first step typically. He's not perfect. He has good hand usage and we like those things about him. He moves fluidly. It doesn't look like he's real herky-jerky. We think he has a chance."
(On why Tennessee wouldn't keep Thomas at tackle) - "Again, I didn't coach Tennessee. You'd have to ask those guys."
(On if he talked to Tennessee's coaches about why they moved Thomas around)
Philbin: "I didn't really ask that question."
Ireland: "They had a young recruit that they really liked and they were moving him from tackle to guard as well."

50s Ceiling Lights Shade Makeover
Added Feb 29, 2012
Stockholm, Sweden
This lamp is a christmas gift from an ex boyfriend – most definitely with a feel for vintage shopping. I remember recieving the wrapped gift and thinking how far the proportions of the box was with how close we were at the time ;)
The lamp shade measures 1.20m and was in a fairly good condition when I got it +10 years ago. As far as I could see, still in its original execution (fittings are still flawless). It has been in use frequently by me as well as being storaged for a couple of years. When moving flats last year it didn't really meet my standars. Fabrics had gone rusty from the wire frame and miscoloured by glue. So I decided to spruce it up.
Once I got started, I figured it was all doable from a technical and crafty point of view. I realised it would be a matter of time, patientece and endurance. To and from I have worked it for 12 months. Just unpicking 3 hand sewed seams from the +3.50m circular spoke took me weeks! As if the shade had a soul and offered a great resistance – "Undressing me? Not that easy!"
The lining is made out of an old satin bed sheet and is constructed as a flat piece of round with a border. The cover fabric is crep de chine, made as a huge tube which I closed in one end, fixed to the centre point of the wire frame, draped around its outer circular spoke, stretched and attached in a final seam. The upper inner "wheel" was dressed with a lace which was trimmed to fit. All old seam tape was removed and 3/4 circular spokes were re-wrapped. All seams are hand sewed. A bit of fabric glue went in there as well.
I am so pleased with the result. It's now installed and lightens up my room, looking absolutely stunning.

ETSU, Second Harvest Food Bank team up for special $1 ticket incentive
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 16, 2010) - The East Tennessee State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Lady Buccaneer basketball team have joined arms with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee this holiday season to help feed the needy by collecting canned food items at selected home basketball games.
The next canned food drive is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 20 when the Lady Bucs square off against Campbell, and fans who bring at least two canned food items to the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center receive $1 admission in conjunction with the "Can the Camels" promotion. Tip is set for 7 p.m.
The Lady Bucs have all ready sent over 650 pounds of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee, which was collected back on Nov. 19 when ETSU faced Appalachian State. The generous donation helped enable the Food Bank to distribute 499 meals to 200 partner agencies such as the Mobile Food Bank and Mobile Food Pantry, Food for Kids, and Summer Food Service Program.
"We are very excited to help the Second Harvest Food Bank, and we hope the special $1 ticket promotion is something our fans really take advantage of Monday night," said Sara Hacker, Assistant Director of Marketing, Promotions and Event Management. "Not only will families be treated to an affordable evening of fun and basketball, but they are donating to a great cause during the holiday season. We had a strong turnout last month with the canned food drive against Appalachian State, but we are hoping surpass those totals and help more families in need."
Monday's game is the only time fans can see the Lady Bucs in action at home until Saturday, Jan. 8 when ETSU takes on Florida Gulf Coast.
To purchase your tickets, call the ETSU ticket office at (423) 439-3878.
More about Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee -
Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee distributes more than seven million pounds of food a year to 200 nonprofit agencies. These agencies are much-needed lifelines, providing groceries and hot meals to 31,000 hungry men, women, and children per month. Our vision is to see that every man, woman, and child in this region has access to food. You are an important partner in this effort. Working together, we can end hunger in Northeast Tennessee.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Oct. 22, 2009) - After spliting a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference matches last weekend, the ETSU women's soccer team opens its final two league contests of the regular season with a 7:00 p.m., match Friday at Florida Gulf Coast.
The Bucs (5-11-0, 4-4-0 A-Sun) enter the contest after upsetting league-leading Kennesaw State 1-0 Sunday on senior day. Overall, ETSU - who sits with 12 points - is currently in seventh in the A-Sun standings, one point behind Mercer, who at the moment holds the final spot in the six-team A-Sun Tournament.
The Bears final match of the season takes place Thursday night as Mercer host Campbell.
Individually, senior forward Jordan Monty (Mesquite, Texas), leads the Buc attack after earning her third career A-Sun Offensive Player of the Week honor, Tuesday. Last week the ETSU captain posted two goals and three assists for seven points, as the Bucs picked up wins against the Owls and USC Upstate.
On the other side of the ball sophomore keeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.), has been stellar in net, as the second-year stater leads the league with 115 saves. Overall, Masch sits second in the league in save percentage and saves per match. Nationally, Masch ranks 75th out of 307 Division I keepers with a .826 save percentage.
Florida Gulf Coast (9-5-3, 4-4-0 A-Sun) enters the contest after spliting two A-Sun matches last week in Nashville. The Eagles fell at Belmont 2-0 Friday night, before defeating Lipscomb 2-1, Sunday.
Individually, keeper Stephanie Powers leads FGCU's defense as the sophomore currently leads the A-Sun in goals against average (0.78) and shutouts (6). Offensivley, senior Amber McCall leads the Eagles in points (14), goals (6), shots on goal (20) and game winners (3).
Overall, ETSU lead the all-time series with Florida Gulf Coast 2-0-0. In their last meeting the Bucs soared past the Eagles with a 2-1 double overtime win last October. In that match, Monty took a crossing pass from teammate junior foward Terri Miller (Cape Coral, Fla), for the game-winning goal in the 103rd minute.
Live stats will be available through the Florida Gulf Coast athletic website. To access live scoring, please visit FGCUathletics.com or click the link attached above. Also attached above are the Atlantic Sun Conference weekly soccer notes.

"The FLY Team(29) swoops around big sweeping, high speed turns like a train on rails and motors across minute trail debris with the same powerful locomotion...The FLY Team(29) seems to go faster and faster...a deal that is hard to pass up, offering a high qualty frame with a rad parts spec."
"This bike is an absolute feather. You can have the lightest bike on the block for about the same price as most people pay for their wheels. The lightweight flyer screams up hills with no hint of bottom bracket flex. How does Motobecane do it?"
"IS 19.9 POUNDS TOO LIGHT?" "how is it possible for Motobecane to sell an under-20-pound (mountain) bike for a such an incredible price? One thing is certain; you'll always win in the price department with this incredible deal. The FLY TEAM makes you feel like a superstar from the git-go. The 19.9 pound FLY TEAM simply motors"
"Four-bar suspension with 4 inch of travel at a price where most bikes have single-pivot, if any."
XC RACE BIKE OF THE YEAR! "The more we do the math, the harder it was to believe the price at which the Motobecane package leaves the shop. Performance of the frame and parts spec is on the highest level"
Bicycling Magazine compares a Motobecane Century Pro to a $10,000 Merlin in a full test ride article! "The gap between cost and performance simply isn't big enough to justify all the extra cash. The Motobecane delivers the goods with enough money left for a trip for two to the Giro d'Italia. The Motobecane is a shining example of solid design with good spec and a fine ride at a great price."
"A light frame and good spec make Motobecane's XC Racer fast and fun. Typically, you find these parts on bikes that cost thousands of dollars more...perhaps the only bike specifically designed for budding XC or 24-hour racers."
"The tight controls and frame angles are so lively it's easy for the rider to find his zone. The Fly rider will have an overwhelming desire to sprint past the front row and take the lead. In or out of the saddle, the 20 pounder retains complete steering precision on ultra steep grades without a hint of bar wagging or over-steering."

The King Library Press was officially founded in 1956 by Carolyn Reading Hammer (whom later became UK Libraries' curator of rare books). Carolyn Hammer was influenced by the Gravesend Press of Joseph C. Graves and also Victor Hammer, to whom she was married. Victor Hammer, a Viennese artist and typographer, designed a number of uncial form types, the best known of which remains the popular American Uncial.
Victor Hammer began printing in Florence in the 1920s, where he had an antique-style wooden press constructed. Victor Hammer built the press with the help of local Florentine craftsmen in 1927. Based on a press in the Laurentian Library, it was first used to print John Milton's Samson Agonistes. The book was set in Mr. Hammer's second uncial and christened Samson. Punches for the type were cut by Paul Koch, Rudolf Koch's son. Samson Agonistes was issued in an edition of 103 copies. In 1933 Hammer closed his studio in Florence and the press was stored. In 1954 it was moved to the University of Kentucky where it was first used by the King Library Press in 1959.
Members of the Bur Press in the mid 1940s — artist Harriett McDonald Holladay, printers Amelia Buckley and Carolyn Reading Hammer, and hand bookbinder Mary Spears Van Meter.
However, Amelia Buckley and Carolyn Hammer had been printing at their Bur Press since 1943. When they decided to close operations at the Bur Press their Chandler & Price printing press which had been located at Hammer's studio in Bullock Place, was moved to the basement of the King Library - which then held the Acquisitions Department - together with type, equipment, and paper.
Victor Hammer and a group of friends formed the Anvil Press in 1952. Victor designed the books for the press and Jacob Hammer was the pressman. Eventually this press was also donated to the University.
Library Staff Christmas Dinner; From left to right: Carolyn Reading Hammer, Catherine L. Katterjoler, Jacqueline P. Bull, Mary Jane Stallcup, Maona Shinkle Eaves, and Daisy Taylor Croft, 1940
Carolyn Hammer, Nancy Chambers Lair, Stokley Gribble, and Mary Voorhes had been printing some book-plates and small pieces on the press in the basement of the King Library but wanted to do something more substantial. They started working at the press on their lunch breaks at noon. The first book they printed was The Marriage of Cock Robin and Jenny Wren in 1956. They first named the press, High Noon Press but then attributed it as the King Library Press. At the time, they printed for the sheer pleasure of printing.
Hand-set type is set piece by piece, letter by letter, and by hand. Every piece of type for each letter is separate and it is used over and over again. After each use it is returned to a specially-designed case, which has larger compartments near the front so that the most-used type is more accessible. The paper that is used for printing is hand-made and some of the finest available.
Joe Graves' Gravesend Press, is also a part of the King Library Press. There are also more modern presses including a Vandercook SP15, a gift of the Harrodsburg Herald, a Vandercook Universal I, and several by Chandler & Price.

The King Library Press is located in Special Collections of UK Libraries and is directed by Dr. Paul E. Holbrook. The work of the Press – hand setting type, printing on antique presses, and binding – is done by student interns and staff volunteers. The objective of the Press is to preserve and demonstrate historical printing techniques using period equipment and methods.
"The press gives those working with it a historical understanding of the book," said Paul A. Willis, former director of UK Libraries. "It adds an element of distinction to the library and University which I hope we are able to maintain."

The floods in Northwestern Pakistan have befallen one of the most volatile areas in the world where over one million people were already in flight from turmoil along the Afghan border. WFP Pakistan Spokesman Amjad Jamal explains what these floods have meant for them and what WFP is doing to help the scores of other people affected.
How bad is the situation where you are now?
Deluges in Northwestern Pakistan have caused heavy damage in at least 25 districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region where livestock have drowned, crops are underwater, bridges have collapsed and many roads have been completely washed away. The number of people affected by these floods is rising every day.
Who are the people who have been affected?
This area is already home to more than one million people displaced by violence along the border with Afghanistan. The flooding was worst precisely in the communities where these people had come in search of refuge. Local residents have paid a heavy price in terms of lost lives and livelihoods, but perhaps the worst affected were the ones who had so little to begin with.
What is WFP doing to help them?
WFP has a strong and resourceful network of NGOs in the area who were already helping us deliver assistance to the over one million displaced people. We have launched food distributions in the areas worst where the flooding was heaviest- in the Peshawar and Swat Valleys, Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera . Though we're still working to determine the full extent of the damage, we hope to reach nearly half a million people with food aid by the end of the week.
What challenges are you facing?
A lot of areas are still cut off by the flood waters—people are in desperate need of help, but due to the damaged roads and bridges, it's impossible to get to them. To make matters worse, the weather has not been good and we're expecting more rain that will only exacerbate the situation. But we're working hard to overcome these obstacles and we won't stop until we've gotten to everyone.

Before & After: Modernizing a 1950's Bungalow Kitchen
I've been admiring this kitchen renovation from the blog Lemons, Avocados and the Bay for some time, so I decided to reach out to Tammy and ask a few questions about the overhaul and the inspiration behind the project. Read on for the full interview!
The Kitchn: How long have you lived in your home?
Tammy: We purchased our little 1950s yellow beach bungalow exactly one year ago. When we moved in, the home was in really bad shape. The home had never been renovated, reeked of cat urine, and had thirty year old stained carpet. Sounds inviting, right? We knew we had a lot of renovations to tackle in a very short amount of time.
The Kitchn: When did you overhaul your kitchen?
Tammy: We began renovating as soon as we moved in because the appliances were basically unusable. To make things even more fun, the last owners decided to "surprise us" by taking the refrigerator with them. As soon as we realized we couldn't fit our newly purchased oven, dishwasher, or fridge into the original kitchen, we knew we were in for a few long months.
The Kitchn: How long did it take?
Tammy: The kitchen renovation lasted about three months, but there always seems to be something that needs to be fixed.
The Kitchn: Where did you find your design and color inspiration?
Tammy: We found our inspiration kitchen (see below!) on decorpad.com. It inspired me because it was bright, airy, and had an attractive color scheme.
The Kitchn: How much planning did you put into the project?
Tammy: We spent about 5 seconds planning. No really though, we made decisions as contractors come into our home and made "suggestions" about how cheaply and quickly they could make changes.
Honestly, I really wish we'd had more time to plan our renovation. We attempted to stain the cabinets, but realized quickly we have little to no DIY skills. I had picked out a light granite that looked beautiful in the store, but it looked horrendous when it arrived at our home. We returned the terrible granite and picked out the darker shade that's now in the kitchen. I knew from the beginning of the renovation that I wanted a green wall, and that seemed to be the only plan we made that actually panned out.
The Kitchn: What was the most challenging part of the project?
Tammy: We found that making modern appliances work in a 1950s kitchen is close to impossible. Apparently people were shorter in the 1950s and countertops were built lower. Because of this, we had to raise all of the countertops to fit our modern appliances.
The Kitchn: Did you learn a new skill during your home improvement project?
Tammy: We learned a great deal about how to work with unreliable contractors. Let's just say we grew up a lot during those first few months of home renovations…On a more useful note, we also learned how to paint cabinets and remove lots and lots of wall paper.
The Kitchn: Are you happy with the outcome?
Tammy: We are happy with the outcome…for now. In the future we would like to completely open up the kitchen into the living room and install a large kitchen island.
The Kitchn: What, if anything, would you do differently next time around?
Tammy: Next time around I would love to have the opportunity to plan! I would take the time to search the Internet for inspiration, take my time choosing a color scheme, and make sure I was working with reputable contractors.
The Kitchn: If you had one piece of advice for readers, what would it be?
Tammy: It's important to realize that things do not always go as planned. Take a deep breath, and realize that in the end everything really will work out.

I think it was easier to design a good board 10 or 15 years ago. Make them nearly 9' long, lots of flat on the rocker, plenty of room left for a good nose scoop. Example: the 2000 Mistral/Naish 8'11 Freewave. Great board---super easy to plane through jibes, narrow width (21") meant it handled chop well and worked great rail-to-rail on a wave.
Now consider a more modern version, something like the 2009 JP 101 Freestyle wave, about what the O.P. is referencing--246 cm long and nearly 24 1/2" wide (62 cm). Boxy center section and fairly flat bottom makes it bouncy and pound-y, shorter rocker means it takes more skill to get on a plane and aggressive jibing technique (i.e., an early sail flip) to plane through jibes. Plus if you don't get the base, boom height, straps and fin just right it's hard to get the sail power down--board wants to ride nose high.
Tuned just right, it's faster, goes upwind better and rides the waves better than the old Naish. It's also a lot more technical. The Naish was without a doubt easier to ride.
The new 2014 JP FSW is only 232 cm long but it has double concaves under the mast intended to erase the bouncy and pound-y; some of the thickness in the center section has been moved to the back to make it plane up quicker and sail more comfortably.
Bottom line -- some short/wide boards were great and some were, shall we say, in transition. You can tune some of the problems by pushing the mast base forward, lowering the boom; playing with the straps and fin. If none of that works for you try a different board.
Interestingly, Naish has a new freewave style board for 2014 called the Starship that seeks to recreate some of the magic of the 2000 8'11. The 100 liter version is 240 cm long and 62.3 cm wide, bottom shape is single concave to double concave to V. Some of the shape is pushed forward of center, like the very accessible Richard Green and Mark Nelson slalom designs. That forward width (on the slalom boards anyway) makes the board plane up fast and then the width kind of disappears at speed. That shape and design brief sound excellent to me...only negative is the advertised weight of 7.7 kgs (nearly 17 lbs.). ouchy!
Get a cheap flight to Maui this spring and try all of the new boards.
Then repost with your thoughts.

I still ride the 8'11"er, with the nose cut down by Z man, to 8'4".
But I swear, and I"m too lazy to look in my van, that it's 58cm wide, with a 37.5 cm tail width. Not good at math, that might compute to 22.5" wide.

With all that volume and width under the straps a big issue I encountered was fins. My arsenal of swept All Terrain fins 10", no longer work. The amount of leverage generated with even light heel pressure would cause spinout. So I am using longer fins.
I blame Naish for developing compact boards and starting the stub trend. Now that all that damage has been done he comes out with what I have been longing for since the Endure line. The 2014 Starship "old skool" length with a narrow tail. I did get a 100lt 2012 Fanatic Hawk which works amazingly well.

I loved my Bic RAP. That was a fun 86 board. You could jump it to the moon. Too bad I put the mast track through the deck.

I keep my Real Wind boards around specifically to address the issue you are having. When I sail rude, Bay chop, the RW boards, with their old school narrow profile , just slice through the crap. Your knees and lower back will thank you. BTW- I'm selling a 90 LTR RW Fish, mint condition.

"Blame"? They have some advantages in many venues and applications, so it's up to buyers to make informed choices regardless of manufacturer or dealer PR. We gotta choose the weapon best suited to our own task, defined by our venue, sailing style and objectives, and preferences.
I didn't follow the Stubby's emergence closely, but Starboard had Stubbies (shortwide boards) for years while Naish was still producing "Trads" (longer, narrower TRADitional shapes). In particular, Starboard's EVO took our world by storm at the Vargas PWA event in 2003, yet Naish's 2008 Pro 1111 Wave was still a "trad". I had a 2008 EVO and a 2008 Pro 1111, both in 80 liters, but they were worlds apart in their performance envelopes. I'll die clutching that Naish, but I quickly sold the EVO to a guy whose sailing style, even
at the same venues, was far better suited to it. Choices!
I had to chuckle at the "Starship" name and at Robby's comment that his brother Randy designed it. I had a Starship hand-built by Randy in the '80s, but it was a tiny nuke-sized pocket rocket, nothing like the current 90-115-litre models. More surprising is that Randy still lives, breathes, and functions. I couldn't even walk into his Hood River shaping room (i.e., garage) to check on the board's progress; the fumes were like a brick wall. Yet there he was, no respirator and no ventilation, breathing that stuff as though there was oxygen in it.
The new Starship is stubby, at 235 X 59.7 in its smallest size, 90 liters, but that doesn't necessarily peg it as
like the usual Stubby; shape still matters. I own, ride, and love at least 4 Naish wave boards of different ages and sizes from 65 to 80 liters. The only one I didn't like was a slightly larger size, about 90L, which turned like a school bus despite being a Trad.

"Too short" would be the 217cm Naish slalom of early 2000's, and the worse ever board, the HYPERSONIC, any size. The WORST, and I got banned by IanFox, for saying it.
The WORST, slowest to plane givin sail size, slowest in top speed, but smoothest riding even well out of it's range. A pure slug.
How could I have said that, when lots of sailors said they liked it?
BECAUSE IT WAS DISCONTINUED by 2006 or so. And never replicated, ever, by any company!.

That Naish Slalom was a joke. Like lot's of Naish stuff it's designed to be extreme, extreme cut outs, extremely short luff, extremely compact size extremely fast etc...... I love the quality though, attention to detail throughout. Most his stuff is better if you're under 175lbs. I've owned lots.

Editor's note: The following was written by the author in response to a question from his grandson, Colby
By Anthony T. Ellis
Colby, to answer your question, how did I join the Navy? I received a NROTC scholarship from high school. There were 2,500 of us selected nationwide from 35,000 applicants. The idea was to supplement the officer graduates from the Naval Academy since the academy wasn't producing enough officers to man the fleet.
We were given regular commissions vs. reserve commissions.

I still haven't seen any Endor2/Nabooine at all.
Saw 2. Bought 2. Both white. I want 2 more whites and 2 blacks. Then, I wait for the SA version.
This has come up a few times before, but it's cool enough to warrant another airing here...How awesome would a RFT, Hoth Rebel, Endor Rebel Evolutions be along the lines of the Clone Evolutions set? A 2nd variant set too with head swaps. 14 points SA.I can't even imagine how many of those I'd buy. 20 sets at least.
2, one white, one black. One Han to rule them all.Thanks for the trade Ook!

An innovative technology for FTTH implementation, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) provides unprecedented bandwidth (up to 2.5 Gbps downstream rate, shared by up to 128 premises), and a greater distance from a central office (20 to 40 kilometres, as opposed to 4~5 kilometre for DSL), allowing service providers to enable bandwidth-intensive applications and establish a long-term strategic position in the broadband market.
GPON utilises point-to-multipoint topology. A passive fibre splitter is used to split the fibre to multiple premises, thus reducing the amount of fibre and central office equipment required compared with point-to-point architectures. The passive nature of GPON eliminates the use of electricity, making it possible to install the splitter in a place where power is not easy to acquire. It is also more energy efficient.
D-Link's GPON OLT L2 Switch uses FSAN compliant GPON technology to enable service providers to deliver triple play services to customers. Power efficient and easy to manage, the DPN-6608 provides expandable infrastructure to meet service providers' needs now and in the future.

I just wanted to thank you for your fast service in shipping my order, it was here within two days. I have also found that your prices are lower than most of the craft stores in and around my town, which I am also thankful for. I am disabled and money is short--every penny counts. So far you have had anything I've needed and shopping online is much better than driving around from store to store, looking for a parking place and waiting in line to fight the traffic back home. Thanks!!!

The Band Perry, Chris Young, Luke Bryan + More Added as 2011 CMA Awards Performers
More country music favorites have been confirmed to perform at the 2011 CMA Awards, which are set to take place in Nashville on November 9. The latest additions to an already enviable list of performers include the Band Perry, Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Thompson Square and Eric Church.
The Boot confirmed the news of these high-profile additions this morning. If you were already planning on watch the festivities, this news should certainly amp up even more excitement for the big event.
But there's something else that's incredibly special about this particular selection of performers, other than the fact that all them are talented and fun to watch. As it turns out, all five of these artists are nominees in the Best New Artist category. It makes it the first time since 2008 that all of the artists that populate the Best New Artist category will perform on what's known as "Country Music's Biggest Night." Country music history is once again being made at the CMAs.
While we'd love to see producers finagle it so all five of the nominees could perform some sort of all-star medley or mash-up, we're just fine with seeing them perform on their own.
Tune in to ABC at 8PM ET on November 9 to enjoy what are sure to be "can't miss" performances and to find out which of these worthwhile country acts takes home the Best New Artist crown.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Some private security guards hired to protect the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan say their contractor has allowed widespread mistreatment, sexual activity and intimidation within their ranks, according to the watchdog group Project On Government Oversight (POGO).
A spokeswoman for watchdog group POGO said hazing at a camp for security guards went "well beyond partying."
The group sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, and briefed reporters on its findings, which it said are based on e-mails and interviews with more than a dozen guards who have worked at the U.S. compound in Kabul.
The company -- ArmorGroup, North America -- has a security contract with the State Department to provide services through July 2010, and has been cited several times for shortcomings in the security required by the contract.
A U.S. Senate panel two months ago was critical of the State Department for not closely supervising ArmorGroup, after a series of warning letters from the State Department in the year leading up to the panel's inquiry.
When CNN contacted Wackenhut, the corporate parent of ArmorGroup, a spokesperson there said the company would have a response Wednesday.
The U.S. Embassy said Wednesday it was taking the allegations very seriously.
"Nothing is more important to us than the safety and security of all Embassy personnel -- Americans and Afghan -- and respect for the cultural and religious values of all Afghans," it said in a statement.
"We have taken immediate steps to review all local guard force policies and procedures and have taken all possible measures to ensure our security is sound." Should initiation rituals such as hazing be allowed? Sound off below
POGO says two weeks ago it began receiving whistleblower-style e-mails, some with graphic images and videos, that are said to document problems taking place at a non-military camp for the guards near the U.S. diplomatic compound in Kabul.
"This is well beyond partying," said Danielle Brian, POGO's executive director, after showing a video of a man with a bare backside, and another man apparently drinking a liquid that had been poured down the man's lower back.
She told CNN that ranking supervisors were "facilitating this kind of deviant hazing and humiliation, and requiring people to do things that made them feel really disgusted." Watch claims that alleged hazing at the U.S. Embassy pose a threat to security »
"This is not Abu Ghraib," she said, referring to images and videos of abuse by U.S. military troops against prisoners held at a facility in Iraq. "We're not talking about torture," she continued, "we are talking about humiliation," by supervisors causing a breakdown of morale, and a "total breakdown in the chain-of-command."
In the letter POGO sent to Clinton, Brian wrote that the problems are "posing a significant threat to the security of the Embassy and its personnel."
Among the recommendations from the group: immediate military supervision of the private security guards, a review of whether the contract should be revoked, and consideration as to whether government forces should replace private security in a combat zone.

CHANHASSEN, MN -- Life Time Fitness enjoyed an increase in revenue and a decrease in its attrition rate during the first quarter of the year.
In financial results announced today, the Chanhassen, MN-based company grew its revenue 6.5 percent to $219.8 million in first quarter 2010 compared to $206.4 million in first quarter 2009. Net income also increased period over period. Life Time had $17.8 million net income in first quarter 2010 compared to $15.1 million in first quarter 2009, a 15.2 percent increase.
More good news comes in the form of Life Time's attrition rate, which was 8.5 percent in first quarter 2010 compared to 9.8 percent in first quarter 2009. Trailing 12-month attrition through March 31, 2010, improved to 39.3 percent. For the year ending Dec. 31, 2009, attrition was 40.6 percent.
"I have created a team of people who are focused entirely on membership retention, which we never had before," Life Time CEO Bahram Akradi said during today's call with financial analysts.
In a statement released prior to the call, Akradi said the 8.5 percent attrition rate in the first quarter was due to the company's commitment to the members' experiences and the impact of the company's connectivity initiatives. Akradi added that the company also focused on growing same-center revenue.
"We saw our third consecutive quarter of mature same-center revenue improvement," Akradi said. "This is indicative of our clear focus on delivering programs and services that truly help members achieve success with their fitness goals."
Memberships grew 2.3 percent to 613,882 on March 31, 2010, compared to 599,919 on March 31, 2009.
During the quarter, Life Time opened two new clubs, one in January in the Cleveland suburb of Beachwood, OH, and the other in March in the Kansas City, MO, suburb of Lenexa, KS. Life Time also opened a Pilates, yoga and personal training boutique in February in Scottsdale, AZ.
Life Time plans to add another boutique center during the third quarter in Minneapolis and will open its third club of the year during the fourth quarter in the Denver suburb of Centennial, CO.
Looking forward in 2010, Life Time expects its revenue to be $880 million to $895 million (updated from $870 million to $895 million). Also, net income is expected to be $76.5 million to $79.5 million, up from $75 million to $79 million.
In late-morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Life Time shares were up $2.54, to $37.30, a 7 percent increase.
The company was scheduled to hold its annual shareholders meeting this afternoon.

Product Details
Custom Style Rear Spoiler by Pure®. Give your car a vibrant, dynamic look with this rear spoiler. The custom design will enliven your car's overall appearance and set it apart from ordinary models. This spoiler is made from the same quality material from which the factory spoilers are made, and it comes with everything required for installation.
- Custom design
- Available painted or unpainted
- Comes with everything required for installation
- Backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
Spoilers are used on race cars to provide downforce at the rear of the car, and in some cases improve aerodynamics. On street cars, spoilers are installed more for show than anything else, and for this purpose the Custom Style Rear Spoiler excels. It looks the part, like it would be functional at super legal speeds, but more importantly it has the shape that says speed even when your car's parked.
The Custom Style Rear Spoiler is made of high quality material. The spoiler comes with everything necessary for a hassle free installation, including detailed instructions.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, Pure strongly encourages you to select the painted option. The company's computerized paint mixing system enables them to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.
The Custom Style Rear Spoiler is manufactured in the USA. Pure warrants the spoiler against manufacturer's defects for a period of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Pure® is a premier manufacturer of quality aftermarket spoilers for all makes and models. The company's knowledgeable personnel produce over 500 part numbers with quality craftsmanship in their Grand Prairie, Texas facility that features in-house tooling and painting departments. In this highly competitive market, Pure stays ahead of their rivals with new product development that enables them to be first to market with the newest products, vehicle specific designs and numerous "no drill" applications.

If I wasn't out of market and could watch the hawks on t.v. every Sunday, I could probably get by on 10 mbs, but I don't have dish so I need all the help I can get.

I, on the other hand, AM of Cherokee Indian decent, and I cry every time you correct my spelling. For the record, I hate people that litter too.

Maybe there's a clog in your cable. Try some porn before you upgrade computers. That usually works to flush out the pipes.
Roland reminds me of a roommate that I once had. She could not stand to have any photos or art on the walls, that were not perfectly level. My favorite past-time was ever so slightly tilting every piece that hung on the walls in our apartment while she was gone.

Seriously, ffdshow + Media Player Classic (with it's built-in filters) can decode nearly everything, all under 2MB worth of downloads.

Well, I'm not too critical with anime. As long as it entertains me and has atleast a tiny bit of a plot, I'll watch it. So far I like it. Obviously it's not going to be much of a memorable series, but it's impossible for every series to be ground breaking.
I had the codec problem as well, but everyone was fine when I transfered it to an older computer to play.
I for one am going to stick with it; it's not a long one, after all. Not every series has to be great to be watchable.

The first episode really bored me, I just barely got through it. Good thing it was only a 12min episode. I'll watch the next 2 or 3 episodes before I decide to ditch it or continue, an to think this came from the makers of Steel Angel Kurumi one of my favorite ecchi all time animes. I realize its only the first episode but the characters just don't seem all too interesting. Uninteresting characters or plot/story = boring for me. I do have hope in the plot though lets just see how it turns out in the upcoming episodes.

cat boy?
well after watching ep 1 i would say its somewhat similar to G on Riders, only its sillier becuase its takes itself rather seriously (i mean serious characters+battling cosplayers+semi-rampent fanservice= ). On the plus side, the battle animation is quite nice, so ill stick around for that alone,

Well I just finished watching episode two of "Cosprayers", as Triad seems to call it, and I was shocked - SHOCKED - at how terrible it was.
Nevertheless, I'm going to finish watching the series... even though the second episode was just... TERRIBLE.

I like translating short. It makes me feel productive while freeing up time for other things like sleep and homework.
BTW, I seriously don't think the CosPrayers audience is all that large compared to that for Gokusen and Survive. :P I think it's <3000, and I've got a feeling most of those are collectors, and that that number will drop even further as the series goes on and people see that no, it's not going to get better.

Woooooooot! Cosprayers episode 3 has been released! Let's see how far I can watch before I spontaneously combust.
By the way, I hear that these past episodes are NOTHING compared to how bad episode 4 is.

Well, I just finished watching episode 3 of Cosprayers and I came to the realization that I should do posts similar to my musings posts for Ultra Maniac. We'll see how it goes! If you don't want to see any spoilers, then you need to SKIP my post as it WILL contain spoilers. Consider yourself warned!
Today's Rating:
1) In this episode, we delve deeper into Scarlet's life as we see some of her memories with Crus. We also find out that Priscilla is invulnerable.
2) A couple of things don't quite add up in Priscilla's battle. Was Priscilla actually in danger when she was hanging in the giant hole? If she wasn't in trouble, why in Inusuke come to save her? If she wasn't in trouble, why couldn't the monster thing just do the attack a second time and kill her off?
3) Who or WHAT is Crus? Was he a Cosprayer was well? If he was a cosprayer, did he wear the male equivalent of what the girls wear before they transform? Would that be a speedo?
4) Why doesn't Koto just SAY that she found the Charm Up watch thingy on the ground?
5) If someone has to be "chosen" to become a Cosprayer, how come Koto was able to just pick up the watch and become one?
6) WHOSE funky Charm Up watch thingy was that anyway? If the person that the watch belonged to was chosen, how come he/she disappeared with everybody else on the earth?
7) Why the F%#$ are all of the monsters just different parts of the human anatomy? So far we have:
Giant Arm
Giant Nose
Giant Ear
Giant Fingers
Giant Eyeball
What's next? I just hope it's not a giant you-know-what!
8) Whatever happened to Koto calling Scarlet "Mistress"?

Sixteen local businesses attended the Leader in Me Community Leadership Breakfast at Steubing this fall.
The purpose of the Leader in Me program is to help students practice the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," and hear how it has turned students into leaders.
Businesses who attended included Barnes & Noble, Mathnasium, Studio 120, AXA, SSFCU, Painting with a Twist, and SAPOA. Businesses also donated money to help the school pay for the training needed to become a Franklin/Covey Lighthouse school.
Pictured (from l-r) are Melinda Valdez, kindergarten teacher; Jerry Crittenden, business owner; and Dr. Mary Usrey, principal.
