how do you choose your anime
I usually hear recommendations then watch an AMV that would pretty much tell me what it's about. Sure i could read the summary, but those never work for me. So, how do you choose yours????
the cover or a recommendation attracts me to it, then i skim through or watch the whole first episode.
Playing LoL as Valkyrie Witch, support main, hit me up!
For the last few seasons I watch the first or first few episodes of (almost) every new show to decide what I want to fully watch. The "Recommend Me an Anime" thread on these forums has been useful in the past, as well as a couple of other threads. Other than that I just check out stuff that I recognize the name of. Usually you recognize the name of an anime because it was at least half-decent. Bad anime isn't talked about all that much. Of course this is a very general rule.
The AMV method isn't a terrible way to go. In fact it was an AMV that got me to watch Air Gear. However in the same AMV there were clips from Noein, but I didn't watch it until much later when someone recommended it. I almost missed out on a great anime because the AMV just didn't get me interested enough. So don't rely on that alone.
You're right about summaries not being worth a shit. All those usually tell me is if it's something that is totally the opposite of what I would want to watch. In the end it only weeds out a few.
My thoughts, never to be erased. My pain, never to be forgotten.
I compile a list of what to to watch based on it's subject matter, reading reviews/forums and a show's technical attributes (animation/staff/studio/cast). So more often than not I finish what I start and almost always enjoy the series to some extent. Some more than others obviously but I generally look back on every series fondly in some way. There are literally less than five shows I just couldn't immerse myself in or recommend to anyone.
I read reviews, watch trailers and see their ratings.
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
i have seen 4 series cuz of chromie_mist's anime battles. usually i just watch the first episode and go from there. i usually base it off of reading the summary and then looking at the genre before watching the first episode. but if theres a popular series i usually try it out.
on my way to my DREAMS- your smile - through food
sounds like ChronicAddict has the best method, in my books.
watch the first 2-3 eps of everything. i mean sure, ok, if you can barely stand to sit thru the first ep without gagging, stop.. but otherwise, give everything at least a couple of eps' chance. i've seen a few series where after the first ep i was kinda groaning and unsure about going on.. and then it was 7am, and i hadn't slept because i just couldn't stop clicking to the next episode.
plus, if you give everything a try, you never have to wonder if Series-X was really as good as all these babbling idiots keep yelling about, or if they're all just crazy.
By whatever I feel like. And I'm a girl, so it's hard.
Nobody's perfect. I'm a nobody, therfore I am perfect.
Yeah sometimes i also watch the 1st episode and go from there!!!
step 1
look at the poster
step 2 decide if it is good
elaboration: well from the poster you'll usually see the plot ie 1 guy lots of girls, or lots of girls = harem
1 guy 1 girl, it is boy meets girl
step 3 say yes or no
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Well several methods really. I keep up with current stuff by using the season charts that float around everywhere on the net. I also look up lots of random series if they pique my interest. After that the process is basically the same though. Put in my "Want To See" list and go look up a trailer on Youtube. If it's a new series and looks good or the plot sounds interesting I'll watch it., and if it's an older series not in the current season I either rent, buy, or stream it, later when I have free time.
Peace Sells....but Who's buying?
i usually look at the cover, the summary, and then if it seems ok, i would watch the first episode. then if its good i keep watching.
Look I am one of the hardest people on earth to sell something on. It takes a ton to sell me in this case on an anime based on number of episodes and what genre it is in.
If it's something like Naruto where it has like 1000 episodes at this point then I just won't watch it. Though there was an exception with Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball. Also of mention is Inuyasha which I will start watching again soon due to the anime series finally having an ending.
Take a look at my list here to give you an idea of my tastes.
Squirrel3D, "The Independent Human"!
Well, I read reviews, recommedations, ratings, trailers, and stuff like that. Similar genres and previous authors also influences my anime choosing.
I personally do not think watching AMV will give you a good understanding of an anime thou. It probably reveals more spoilers tbh.
And yes, Chrome's Shōnen Battle thread is pretty useful as I've watched 2 or 3 animes from the series when it was running. Might find something good in the current Psychological Battle thread as well, who knows

Electro-hydraulic servo valves range available from Hylec Controls.
New high performance industrial servo valves with integrated electronics offer monitoring of spool position and improved static and dynamic characteristics to suit industrial applications such as screw down systems.
Another recent addition is the new range of high-flow, mechanical feedback servo valves with a new high power pilot stage providing the same dynamic performance as was previously available only with smaller flow valves.
These two stage valves offer lower noise and threshold than conventional three stage servo valves making them ideal for fatigue test rigs.
This latest range is interchangeable with older, lower performance types and allows replacement without changing existing electronic controls or hydraulic manifolds.

Welcome to my second blog. I started my other blog, which is at email@example.com over 10 years ago. My opinions and my stories, have not changed.
I've not "flipped a lid", and as nuts as that "Letter to Mike and Carol Middleton" sounds, I'm not nuts, and I've been saying the same thing that I said over a decade ago.
So this is another blog and where my last one was dedicated to my son Oliver Garrett, this is dedicated to my daughters Sophia I, Sophia II, and Sophia III. Sophia III is the latest delivery I've had, of a baby girl who the U.S. government cloned.
I am 100% against human cloning. It is happening and has been occurring by most countries, for decades already. I personally saw many clones in the U.S. as well as in other countries and the U.S. has raped, tortured, and stolen from me and then added cloning of me to their list of crimes.
I grew up, as a government kid, surrounded by CIA, Pentagon, and FBI. I was enrolled into the "top secret" group of CIA SAD-SOG which is a "trained killer" group that performs assassinations of persons worldwide. They forced me to be in this when I was a kid, even extremely young, and my parents were not allowed to say "no".
In this blog, I am going to expose every single thing I can about CIA's SAD-SOG. I was not given a choice to be in this group or not, and I never signed up for it, nor did I sign confidentiality agreements. The U.S. just kidnapped me, basically, and forced me to be in it.
They work in international groups as well and I will be adding that information to this.
I have several youtube videos I've made, detailing the programming the government used against me, to rape me by later, and I will give information about every location I know of that is committing the crime of human cloning, where I was personally involved or saw others being used.
I would like to have this blog become one that is inclusive of the stories of others. This should be a blog where others can submit information they have about human cloning, "sightings", and anything that is related.
I would also like to know where my daughters are, who the government kidnapped from me and now claims were never born.
So if you are a former CIA SAD-SOG, please write your story here. If you got out of it, somehow, please write. If you know of human cloning situations, please write that here as well, and if you don't have knowledge but are 100% against human cloning and believe it is the start of the worst case of human slavery the world has ever known, please add your support, because I want to start a revolution against the United States of America for illegally breeding and sponsoring slavery.

Once Upon A Time returned to answer the question: What has become of Dark Swan? At the end of last season, Emma Swan let the darkness envelope her leaving the rest to deal with the consequences.
Hook picked up the dagger with the name Emma Swan embossed on it. He tried to call Emma to him but she didn't come and Regina told him it was because she was in another realm.
As the crew in this world tried to find a way to get to Emma, Emma herself was dealing with being back in the Enchanted Forest. She was also shocked to find that Rumpelstiltskin talked to her as like a dark version of Jiminy Cricket. He was kind of her guide into the darkness.
In the other realm, Emma meets up with Merida (from Brave) after Rumpelstiltskin tells Emma a light fairy is needed to help her get rid of the darkness. But Merida is in search of the fairy, too, planning to use it to free her brothers from being kidnapped. Emma teams up with Merida in hopes of using the fairy after Merida is done, but Rumpelstiltskin says it can only be used once and encourages Emma to steal it.
In the "B" story, the viewers see the seeds of the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable as they search for Excalibur. When Arthur pulls the sword from the stone, it is only half there; The Dark One's dagger is at the bottom of Excalibur's sword.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group struggle to find a way to find Emma. They realize they must use the dark power of Zelena, and Regina begrudgingly agrees. They use the power at Granny's restaurant to travel to the other realm to find Emma.
When they find Emma, they also run into King Arthur and his men and they are all taken to his castle.
Just as they are walking across the bridge, the time frame jumps ahead and everyone wakes up in Granny's with their memories wiped again. Just as they are trying to remember what happened, Emma arrives fully emerged as "Dark Swan."

And make no mistake
Mike Huckabee knows just how to treat a dog.
On 11 July 1998, two young men working as counselors at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Arkansas, killed a dog at that Boy Scout camp. One of those young men was 19-year-old Clayton Frady of Texarkana and the other David Huckabee, the youngest son of Arkansas Governor Michael Dale "Mike" Huckabee.
He's the one looming over the rest of the family in the above pic.
and the other was 19-year-old Clayton Frady of Texarkana. David Huckabee was 17 at the time of the slaying, although he would turn 18 less than two weeks later. Both young men were fired over the incident. And that is where the undisputed facts of the story leave off. All the rest of the details, including why the dog was killed, how the dog was killed, and whether Governor Huckabee attempted (successfully or otherwise) to forestall investigations into his son's act, is up for grabs and may never be knowable. (Thus we can only verify the basic fact that David Huckabee killed a dog at a Boy Scout camp, not he ancillary issue of whether he truly did so "brutally" or "for fun.")
While the dog itself was consistently described as a stray that had wandered onto the property, the only additional description of it came from Marcal Young, scout executive of the Caddo Area Council that operated the camp where the animal was killed, who said the canine was "probably a mixed breed."
As to why the dog was killed, different people have offered different reasons. Governor Huckabee said in 2007 interview conducted by Larry King that "It was mangy. It looked like it was going to attack."
That's what the cops invariably say when they shoot unarmed black men.
The father of the other young man fired over the dog's slaying said in a 1998 news article his son had come upon one or more Scouts who had the dog "hung over a limb and choking," so his son helped "put it out of its misery." Scout executive Young said in another 1998 news article the two young men had told him the dog appeared to be ill.
No one connected to any of the principals apparently wanted to talk about how the dog was dispatched. The only person in that group who said anything about this was Danny Frady, father of Clayton Frady (the other young counselor fired over the incident), and even he didn't say what his son did; he only averred that when his son came upon the animal, it was being hanged by others. Anonymous rumors about how the dog was killed claim Frady and Huckabee hanged the dog, slit its throat, and stoned it to death.
But why would the young men have been fired if what they had done was merely to put a suffering animal out of its misery or strike down a sickly animal that looked like it was about to attack someone? Scout executive Young, the person who dismissed them from their jobs, said the pair were fired because they had violated a Scout law: "A Scout is kind."
And they evidently weren't
A December 2007 Newsweek article reported shortly after the animal's death, the local prosecuting attorney wrote a letter to the Arkansas state police asking them to investigate the case to see if the two young men involved had violated state animal cruelty laws. The state police did not look into the matter, and no charges were filed.
John Bailey, then director of Arkansas's state police, told Newsweek personnel in Governor Huckabee's employ (his chief of staff and personal lawyer) leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request for an investigation. Wrote Newsweek: "Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee's Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer's intervention as improper and terminated the conversation." Bailey was fired by Huckabee seven months later, with (according to Bailey) one of the reasons given by Huckabee being that "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem." Newsweek quoted I.C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, as saying "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son."
Governor Huckabee denied using his influence to keep police out of the matter, saying to Larry King: "Well, let me categorically say that is absolutely not true. I never used my influence. In fact, if anything, I said treat it like you would anything else. I don't want special treatment for him or against him. My son was a minor at the time. It was not a criminal issue. It was an issue that was dealt with."
Yes it was "dealt with"
Doggone it!
(Cue Cale)

text: Hi all, I seem to be having an issue with my wireless device and it only seems to be happening when i play games. I can use my pc all day every day but about 5-10 minutes into a game, it will reboot. USB port and operating system dont seem to make a difference so the only thing i can surmise is that it is the wireless device itself. when i play a game, the connection will usually slow to a crawl, then disconnect, scanning for a network does nothing, it appears to have removed the device from windows, the strange thing is that the device still registers in device manager, make a change to any of the settings for the device, and bang the wifi kicks back in again and auto reconnects to my home network, but try to game again and it will disappear before too long. I havent much money, so a new wifi card isnt an option right now, also my pc is not in the same room as my router, so cat5 cable isnt an option either. if anyone has any suggestions, or any tools to help with monitoring it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob

15/02/2011 Longest Serving Greater Manchester Police Horse Retires to The Horse Trust
Dickens, a horse that has been with the Greater Manchester Police force for 15 years has retired to The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for Horses in Buckinghamshire.
21-year-old Dickens, a 16hh chestnut gelding, is one of the force's best police horses, according to Mima Manning, Stable Manager at Greater Manchester Police.
"Dickens is one of our toughest and bravest horses," said Mima. "He has a cheerful temperament and always goes to work with a smile on his face."
While most police horses have a working life of eight to ten years, Dickens has been working for the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) force for an impressive 15 years. In his time with the force, Dickens has been involved in all types of police work including crowd control at public demonstrations, football matches and concerts, and patrolling crime hotspots.
Dickens, an Irish Thoroughbred cross, now needs to retire from working life as he has developed arthritis, which has caused intermittent lameness.
Another Greater Manchester Police horse, Warwick, has also retired to The Horse Trust's sanctuary in Speen, Buckinghamshire. Eight-year-old Warwick, a 17hh skewbald gelding, has only been working for GMP for four years, but can no longer work as he has developed a condition known as Osteochontritis Dissecans (OCD) in his joints.
"Warwick has a brilliant temperament for police work - he's very level-headed and confident. But sadly he's had a short working life as he can't cope with the impact on his joints," said Mima.
Mima is delighted that the two police horses now have a secure future through being given lifetime sanctuary at the charity's sanctuary for retired horses.
"It's great that after working hard for the people of Manchester, Dickens and Warwick will be able to spend the remainder of their years in the peaceful paddocks at The Horse Trust's Home of Rest," said Mima.
Jeanette Allen, Chief Executive Officer of The Horse Trust, welcomed the two horses to the sanctuary, praising them for the work they have carried out for GMP.
"Dickens and Warwick have carried out vital police work in their time with the Greater Manchester Police, helping preserve public order and reduce crime. We are glad that we are able to thank them for their loyal service by offering them sanctuary and a peaceful place to pass the last years of their lives," said Jeanette.

One hour before I head to the airport ….. yet again. I feel that I have single handedly kept Michael O'Leary in check shirts this week. But as I leave, sitting here on the side of the Via Nazionale, there's a bit more urgency to Rome than when I arrived two days ago.
Carabinieri buzz about in their squad cars, a police helicopter circles the city centre. Riot police are hidden around the side of many government buildings. The political pace has picked up. I just spotted three bus loads of a military brass band being given an escort through town. Whether they are rehearsing a final hurrah for Silvio or preparing to herald the arrival of Mario is not clear.
You'd have to imagine it's something Silvio has arranged for himself because no unelected government coming to power with the single unfortunate mandate of inflicting pain on its people would afford itself that level of pomp and circumstance. But then again … this is Italy.
The pace of things is definitely picking up here. The Senate has just voted in favour of an austerity package. When it's passed in the chamber tomorrow (which seems to be a given) Berlusconi will resign. President Napolitano could then go through the pretence of calling all the party leaders and asking them if they thought they could form a government but in reality the call has already been made and Mario Monti has already begun putting a programme together. He'll have is feet under the desk in Berlusconi's office by Wednesday morning at the latest.
So it's all go … but only on the political front. The cancer in the economy is metastasising. Put simply increasingly nobody wants to lend to Italy at competitive rates because they don't believe it can service its debt any long, and if nobody will lend to it at a price it can afford Italy won't be able to service its debt any longer. Somewhere Joseph Heller chuckles.
Up until today I had only heard people talking about Italy having a liquidity problem. Short term cash flow issues, if you will, that would be solved by an orderly departure of Silvio Berlusconi from the stage. But now some are muttering about possible solvency issues. It's not clear to me if they mean now or in the future if cash flow isn't sorted out.
Can that really matter? Private lenders won't give it money at a rate it can afford long term. Lenders of last resort don't have access to the kind of cash it would take to plug the gap. And the government would have to generate a 5% surplus just to meet the interest bill on the €1.9trillion debt. That's being stuck between a rock and a hard place with the added dilemma of the waters rising around you.
Dr Doom, Nouriel Roubini, who is to the global economy what Morgan Kelly has been to the Irish one had a scary op ed piece in the Financial Times this morning. He didn't see a way out for Italy short of the ECB becoming an "unlimited lender of last resort". And who would do that if there is even a sniff of insolvency in the air.
His argument was a lot more nuanced than my summary but essentially if the third biggest economy in the Eurozone goes south so too does the eurozone. Reaction in Italy is interesting. I gave his piece to a Journalist, an Economist and a Politician today. The first two said he was spot on. The politician completely disagreed using the well worn "fundamentals are sound" argument. But then he'd have to say that as he's probably going to be a minister in the new government.
His name is Enrico Letta and I'll post a link to my Drivetime interview with him when it's been podcast by my colleagues back at base.


text: In a December 16, 1998 press conference aired by C-Span, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX)criticizes Bill Clinton's bombing campaign in Iraq and predicts the potential for terrorist attacks against the United States as retalitation. Following his comments are clips of Madeline Albright's comments about Iraqi sanctions along with Osama Bin Laden's comments about why Al Queda attacked us on 9-11. Please note that in no way whatsoever am I condoning Bin Laden's actions or excusing them. They are simply a part of this video, and I am merely subtitling it. However, I feel it is important to understand how the mind of our enemy works and for us to realize that people around the world view our international actions very differently than our citizens do.

If you're interested in tracing your genealogy, tenants lists or court records from Berwickshire's history, then your research could just have been made a little easier.
Scottish Indexes have set up a sponsoring service, whereby resources are indexed once, so that all researchers can make use of them.
The initial list of resources that can be transcribed 0 in half-hour increments - can be found at scottishindexes.com.
It includes Lauder Court records from 1650 onwards, Greenlaw Kirk sessions from 1839-42, baptismal records in Simprim and Swinton, the 1692 'poor list' from Gordon and others.
The idea is to sponsor an indexer to spend a set amount of time to index a record of your choice, and within that record a date range of your choice. That amount of time will be spent on indexing the record you have chosen, and then the index will be made freely available online for everybody to access.

A magazine to which I subscribe has been running a "Life Takes Visa" ad with a "Things to do while you're alive" list that annoys the hell out of me. It's because the items on the list (sample: "Go to the NFL Pro Bowl", "Spend a weekend in Las Vegas like a high roller", "Test-drive a supercar") describe a twit. And because it implies that I, as a member of this advertiser's target demographic, am also a twit. However, I am not immune from my own life ambitions and at the age of approximately 12 decided I would like to visit all 7 continents before I die.
This year I came as close as I ever will to achieving that goal given no one really ever expects you to make it to Antarctica (unless global warming makes it a more hospitable tourist zone in my lifetime which I suppose is a possibility). I ticked six out of seven boxes with an October visit to Africa with my sister.
Like many things in my life it was more lucky than deliberate circumstance through which the trip materialized. My sister was working in the Middle East and Cairo is only a four hour flight from London. Voila! The pyramids and souks and mosques and the giant old curiosity shop that is the Cairo museum were ours to behold.
The best discovery of the year was closer to home—the Cotswolds, which on a good traffic day is 1.5 hours and another world away from our flat in London. We liked it so much that we decided to buy a cottage there, continuing our world domination in the postage stamp-size real estate market. Now husband is busy acquiring a tweed wardrobe and I am considering shooting lessons. (I've made friends with the only gays in the village and even they have their own shotguns.)
In the further spirit of lists, here are a few of my favorite things from the past year:
1. The Guiting Festival in the Cotswolds held on one of the few sunny days of the summer complete with hog roast and a ragtime band imported from Paris for the day.
2. Wine tasting in Dambach la Ville in Alsace with a nice lady who pretended she could understand my butchered French 101 and the workers who has just come in from the harvest with plastic bottles of cloudy wine nouveau.
3. Reading the book Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything by Elizabeth Gilbert.
By the way, I completed a draft of this "Christmas letter" on September 30th, before Cairo and the cottage were a reality. I did this in the woo woo spirit of unabashedly putting my wishes out to the universe, something I kind of learned in the book mentioned above. I wrote then: "I'll come back to this before I send it out in December and let you know if I need to make any revisions." And I'm happy to say that none are required.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Do write and tell me all your good bits (or even bad ones) too. Looking forward to seeing some of you soon in FL or LA.

Atlas Mountains
Template:Infobox Mountain Range
The Atlas Mountains (Bruellan: Der Atlas; Etruscan: L'Atlas; Sinopian: Άτλας) is a mountain range in north western Althena ranging from Trentannia and Calibria in the east, Bergenstein, Etrusque and Bruellen to the west, and Sinope and Matinenda to the south.
The Atlas mountain system is geologically connected with the mountains of Eretz and Ankara, crossing the South Dacian Ocean, the Kaskaskian Mountains of Euphemia. Geologists hold that all these formed a single range prior to the breakup of the ancient supercontinent Gaea. The current mountains are remnants of the Caledonian mountains. The mountains have been eroded to one-third of their original height, and are one of the oldest still extant mountain ranges in the world.

Recommendations when Choosing a Bankruptcy Lawyer
1. First and also leading, ask yourself, "Do I also need a bankruptcy lawyer to file my situation?" If your case is rather uncomplicated, after that chances are you could obtain a bankruptcy application preparer to submit your situation for much less than the expense of working with a lawyer. Regardless of preferred perception, bankruptcy regulation is not very difficult, so employing a professional most of the times does not make good sense. The actual inquiry after that becomes, "How difficult is my instance?" Simply put, if a) you have 100 percent unsafe financial obligation (charge card, medical expenses, personal car loans, repossessions, and so on); b) you're unemployed without possessions (car, home, brokerage accounts, and so on) as well as c) you did not collect the financial debt extremely recently or in any type of way that can be interpreted as illegal (i.e. buying a cinema TELEVISION on a charge card a month before you submitted) after that you might not need a bankruptcy lawyer to file your instance.
2. If your case is a lot more difficult, then will you obtain the type of individual attention that you are worthy of in order to have your instance appropriately managed? A great deal of bankruptcy companies are dedicated to standard filings, and you will certainly obtain little to no attention from your actual lawyer. With this much at stake, it's essential that you deal directly with a specialist that is a specialist in bankruptcy law.
3. Get a reference. If you understand a person that has actually submitted bankruptcy, do not be scared to ask them whether they felt their lawyer managed their instance well. If you do not know any individual who has submitted bankruptcy previously, then call a law company beyond your location as well as request a reference from them.
4. Look around. Most bankruptcy lawyers will at the very least offer a free preliminary assessment. Find a lawyer that you feel comfortable reviewing your personal matters with as well as that provides an affordable rate for their charges. Remember not to endanger high quality and also experience simply because a bankruptcy lawyer uses reduced fees, however. Call your state's Attorney General office for a suggested checklist of bankruptcy lawyers in your location.

Bob Visotcky, vice president and general manager of radio station KMCG-FM (100.3), announced Tuesday he is leaving the station to become Chancellor Media's regional manager in Denver. He will be replaced by Marko Radlovich, KMCG's general sales manager. Both moves take effect immediately.
Visotcky came to Los Angeles from San Francisco last summer when Dallas-based Chancellor Media Corp. purchased KMCG, better known as Mega 100. Under his guidance, the station and its unique urban-oldies music format has gone from 23rd to 11th place in the local Arbitron ratings in less than a year.
In Denver, Visotcky will oversee five FM music stations and an AM talk station. Chancellor Media's subsidiary, Chancellor Radio Group, is the nation's largest broadcast entity with more than 465 stations in 105 markets.

It's never anyone's intention to spend Christmas in hospital, but all things aside it was a pretty good day. Sonny was much more coherent but is still pretty rough and managed to be awake for only around three hours. Both kids were amazing though, with Sonny putting on a brave face for his sister and Ruby acting like turning off the bong of the sats machine while eating packet Turkey breast was absolutely normal.
The ward made a huge effort by buying a remote control car for Sonny plus presents for Ruby, Zoe and I and laying on a big buffet in the play room. So alongside the generosity of friends and family and a really cheerful and positive vibe from the nurses it wasn't such a bad time. Well, you know what I mean.
PS: From Italy to Ireland and everywhere in between, we really can't thank you enough for all the presents sent. It took two trips just to get them all in the room and made it very special for him. You all know who you are.

A mum schooled her son on what you should do if you hurt someone's feelings, by sending him to school with a bunch of flowers.
Zowiie Williams, from Northern Ireland, explained she was disappointed that her son, Callum, had upset a girl at school, after he followed the instructions of another boy who told him to say some upsetting things.
Williams wanted to teach her six-year-old that he needs to understand how words can make others feel upset.
"When your son hurts a girl's feelings, it's our job as parents to make him understand how saying things out of anger and upset can make others feel," Williams wrote on Facebook on 7 June.
Williams explained: "Yesterday I was very disappointed to find out [my son] had upset his special little lady due to another boy mate telling him what he should say and do.
"So much so that I felt the need to have quite a good talk with him.
"Today he is marching into school with flowers and an apology because I feel that we need to teach boys the importance of how they should react to certain situations.
"Callum now understands that what other people think or say should not sway him into acting like he doesn't care about other people's feelings. Especially a girl. His head was high and he apologised in front of his peers and handed over the flowers.
"It was a very proud moment for me as his mother."
Williams posted a photo of her son on the way to school holding a bunch of flowers. Her Facebook post was shared nearly 5,000 times and had more than 13,000 likes in less than a week of being uploaded.
The mum told HuffPost UK her son was "very shocked" that the photo of him has been viewed by so many people.
"He told everyone he was on the news," she said. "I was so happy that he went in and apologised in front of everyone. That's what I wanted.
"I was disappointed that he had made [the girl] feel upset with everyone watching, so I felt it was only fair that he let all of them see him trying to make it better and apologising."
Commenting on the photo on Facebook, one person wrote: "Well done you, you're teaching the boy with a touch of class, and a super well done to your kid for following through with it in front of his peers."
Another wrote: "Well done, if only more parents would teach their children this kind of behaviour.
"You're an amazing mummy who is showing your son the right way to treat people."

Have you grown them? Any and all tips and pointers appreciated!
I have seeds, but I've yet to start any.

|I grew them from a 4" pot purchase but didn't save seeds, I was in the process of moving so too much going on. I'll probably try them again eventually.

|Okay. From the info I've found so far, it looks like I shouldn't winter sow these, so I'll have to wait a bit longer before beginning.
Feb 15, 2012 12:41 PM CST
|They're very easy to grow from seed! And you'll get volunteers the next year, too. I've had them growing for about 3 years now.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
Feb 15, 2012 1:01 PM CST
|Thanks, Woofie!
Did you scatter seed in spring, or germinate them indoors and then plant them out? Or, since you had them self-seed, perhaps I could winter sow them?
Feb 15, 2012 1:17 PM CST
|The first and second years I started them indoors (and they got a bit leggy), but the last couple of years I've just had volunteers from the original ones. Given that, it does seem like you could winter sow them successfully. You could try both!
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
Feb 15, 2012 1:29 PM CST
|I do have enough seed to try both methods; and that sounds like a good idea! I'll do it.
Thanks, again!

I dont think that 99.9% of the people in tucson realize the issue that we have to deal with on a daily basis. I personally wake up every morning, and waste hours of my day just trying to think of a place to ride, because there's so many factors that you have to include when thinking of were to ride in tucson. You could go downtown to ride street, but then you have to worry about police, and security, who have little or no sympathy for kids who ride, because they think were all criminals. We could ride washes, or street around town, but then you have to consider the random people that tend to show up out of no were and try to act like their heroes because they can yell at a bunch of kids for riding. It might sound ridiculous, but it happens all the time. Frankly, we can't even build our own ramps to enjoy in our neighborhoods. We've tried on numerous occasions, and its always ends with those neighbors who see it,complain, and alert the HOA so that they can send us nice fat tickets in our mailbox's.
So think about it. We're can we go ride? I always ask that to the people who kick us out, or yell at us, and they think I'm trying to be smart with them. But they really just don't realize what's going. Their not saving the world by kicking us out a spot, their just adding to an every-growing problem in Tucson. These types of people who are trying to act like saviors need to stop all their complaining, and do what's truly right, and help in the solution. It's actually a lot easier than you think.
-Don't hassle kids just for riding bikes.
-Help out organizations like the Kory Laos foundation
-Check up on Clickedbmx.com for local bmx events that are pushing for a place to ride, AND ATTEND THEM.
Any of those things could help. There's obviously much more that I'm leaving out, but I'm just trying to show you how simple it could be. The ignorance of people in this town has just escalated the problem, to points were things such as the "Zero tolerance rule" is being enforced by TPD, where an officer catching a kid on a bike in a skatepark will automatically lead to arrest, and getting your bike impounded. Which may i add will cost hundreds of dollars to undo.
Wowww. i really didn't mean for this to wind up this long, but i've been waiting for this moment for the last 4 years of my life, and if we can't get Santa Rita skatepark to get opened for bikes, and i have to wait untill im 30 years old to finally enjoy a nice skatepark, I'm going to feel like my whole life was a waste.

Knitting Gift Swap
This is the box that I got LAST WEEK:
This is who it was from:
Oh yes, she was super sneaky - but I figured it out through my amazing detective skills (plus also she was the only one from Pasadena to sign my map!!!!). THANK YOU SO MUCH NANCY (aka Sagetta)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today we were told that we could open our gifts. Now, in matters concerning gifts I do not need to be told twice. So, I opened my box and this is what I saw:
A FAB felted bag, three snowman wrapped gifties and some circs!! The circs remind me of crayons for some reason and I can't wait to use them! I LOVE circular needles. Okay, time to unwrap:
Hooray!!!! Two mystery books (two of Nancy's favorites!) that I've never read before. I LOVE BOOKS!!! I especially love a good mystery (that's where I GET my amazing detective skills)!! And yarn, well - duh, of course I love yarn!! I especially love the handspun/dyed with the purples. What a GREAT GIFT!!!!!
Thanks again, Nancy - what a thoughtful and generous soul you are!!!!
