So , its been a while since we've went out with 2 horses... but he's always been fine when Robyn and Kaaren rode Magic & Odin with Kizz , so I'm not concerned at all.. Well I have plans at 3pm so when they call to meet, I decide I'll hurry and meet them along the RR and then head home after riding with them along the RR a bit. So Kizz and I leave and go right straight down the 605 to the camp road and go down to the RR , We trot up along the RR and meet them around where the hydro line crosses the RR. He is hyper to see them. We pull in behind but he starts acting funny so I put him in between Magic & Odin, he's much better.. they decide to come up through my way so that works for me.. I can head home after we get to my turn off. We go through the camp road and into the fields and they trot, well Kizz picks up a trot but wants to race and tries to canter, well I pull him back and he bucks and kicks up a fuss! I yell and pull him back. Kaaren slows and after we talk a bit, she tells Evan to go off again .. So Kizz and I can try again. Magic leaves Odin and I trotting (we trot too) and he just wants to race ahead. This happens a few times, then he finally trots beside odin being semi-ok. We get to the top of the fields to the 605 . We cross the road and let them eat grass there while we chat about how she dealt with Magic with race brain all his life. It gives me hope that at least I will survive it!! We continue on through the trails. We stop and talk to the property owner at the camp on the top of the hill with the great view. I grab some pics of the trail buddies :)
All 3 pretty chestnuts :)
He isn't too bad other than I have to hold him back most of the ride. When we get down to the mowed trail they stop and I continue on home. He leaves them very well ! We trot down the mowed trail and walk across the fields.. He stops to eat in one of the fields and I'm SO impressed with this! I get off and let him munch a while. :) He does keep looking back looking for his buddies though but doesn't call for them or anything. What a GOOD boy!
looking back for his buddies while he munches
I loose track of time and get a call that Robyn is at my house waiting for me! So I mount up and we trot on home. He only whinnies ONCE in the access road right beside home. He is really good. HE isn't hot at all so I un-tack and leave. I have a LOT to think about!! What will I do? How will I handle his RACE brain??? Is he going to be horrible on our group trail ride the next weekend ?? There will be 12-15 horses !!!

Good to see the whole team together trying to solve this design problem! Obviously, Kanji was a stink bomb and kombucha was ordinary too. It will also take a long time to prototype kombucha as the fermentation takes more than a week.
Thanks Sara for bringing the fermented kefir for all of us to try.We concluded after tasting that coconut water based kefir was too pungent and a bit obnoxious to drink. On the other hand water kefir was fairly good. Although it tasted very sweet the sugar content was around 5%.The sugar content of the cherry juice was 7%. We mixed equal portions of cherry juice and kefir and the taste was still a bit sweet. The sugar content of the mix was 12% which is fantastic as compared to other drinks in the market.We are not sure of the shelf life of the finished product at this stage. We could add some malic acid to bring the acidity of the product down to 4 or 4.5 and then if we add sodium benzoate in it then it can act as an preservative.
Another important aspect is to check with the target audience if they are willing to incorporate a product like that in their life style. We will design a questionnaire and make another batch of the product and ask the guys at the hub tomorrow. We are aiming to find out if they use fermented products, buy or make healthy drinks and why do they do that. We also aim to find as to how and when they use these drinks at home. We would also give them a taste of the kefir and see what they think and if they have tried this product before. See you tomorrow with the findings.
This is an interesting place to learn about water kefir.

The albums are The Tim Ware Group (1980) which launched the group to prominence and Shelter From The Norm (1983) with album cover art by renowned designer Michael Cronan. These albums are still relevant and much sought after today.
The Tim Ware Group helped define the emerging genre of "New Acoustic Music", a genre blending influences from bluegrass, jazz, and international folk traditions using only acoustic instruments. Ware is also a notable artist linked to the genre of "Chamber Jazz".
Chamber jazz is a genre of jazz based around small, acoustic-based ensembles where group interplay is important. It is influenced aesthetically by musical neoclassicism and is often influenced by classical forms of non-Western music.... It is also noted for using instruments not normally associated with jazz. For example, chamber jazz will make use of the oboe, mandolin, cymbalum, or the tabla.
The non-Western influences or instrumentation make chamber jazz at times listed as a kind of world music. At other times the fusion of neoclassical with jazz is deemed to be New Age and several albums of chamber jazz were released by Windham Hill Records. Windham Hill itself was co-founded by a musician linked to chamber jazz and was initially known for folk or world music.

text: number9 3,296 Report post Posted July 6, 2011 So we haven't exactly replaced the offensive ability rafalski had, but we've certainly added some toughness to the blue line. You can count on commodore and exelby (when hes not in GR) to land some bigggg hits and drop the gloves, and whites no push over. Question is, will this added toughness make a difference? will the rest of the team play better? will other teams fear us physically? maybe teach some other players to use their size?

Autumn is always such a busy time of year for me but I do love it. September signals the start of all things new and I'm so in love with the changes that nature brings to this season: crisp copper leaves, frost on the grass tips and the odd surprise toadstool if you're really lucky!
Inside[dropcap]I[/dropcap] could almost write a book on the learning, over-thinking and adapting I've done during the last few months. I don't know where to start really – possibly why I've concentrated more on 'Outside' and 'Beyond' posts of late.
Firstly, I've spent a lot of time questioning my blog and what purpose it serves. Yes I know that I tend to visit this little conundrum every 6 months or so and you're probably tired of hearing it by now, but I do think it's important to regularly question what we are doing and why.
Being a Christian, I have a tendency to get weighed down by my purpose, wanting to ensure my life counts for something. But as a well-meaning person who loves me very much (*cough* my husband) pointed out, it's okay to just enjoy life – the ordinary aspects, the sometimes frivolous, the things we've been blessed with – if someone else is inspired by my creativity, then double bonus!
Did I mention how busy we've been this autumn? I don't know why I'm surprised really, we have four birthdays within 6 weeks of each other and every single year I feel frazzled and a little overwhelmed by mid November.
It has forced me to rethink life (sounds dramatic but you know what I mean!) and the word 'balance' has cropped up time and time again. I committed to hosting a bible study at my house on a Tuesday evening this term but didn't really consider the implications of all that would go with it. With the bible study comes daily homework, rushed meals and some much-needed tidying of the house. All before 7.30pm!
For a moment I forgot that when you take on something extra, other things need to go in order to make room. Balance – it's so important in all aspects of life and it will look different for all of us. Let's just say that I've had an essential declutter of the diary and being kinder to myself has been brought a little higher up the list.
This song has been on a loop just recently.
Outside[dropcap]A[/dropcap]utumn has been about woolly jumpers, ankle boots and cable knit tights for me. My daughter hates them but I love them! I've discovered some gorgeous ones from Next that come in all sorts of colours and they are so warm and snuggly.
I've also discovered Essie nail varnish and I'm in love with it – affordable, hard wearing and loads of gorgeous colours. Two coats last at least a week if not longer, and no, I've not been paid to promote it! The day I discovered that my nails matched my coffee cup was a good day!
Our builders finally left at the end of October so we've been making full use of our garden room ever since. We've been able to say 'yes' to 16th birthday parties and the dreaded sleepovers. In fact I think we've had four sleepovers since the end of October!
I am so enjoying the novelty of closing the door on all the mess, to be dealt with when we are feeling braver. It's been everything we had hoped for and more. I've even taken to disappearing down there for a few hours to do some work in peace. Having a coffee machine down there helps enormously!
Beyond[dropcap]E[/dropcap]very time I walk out of the door on a cold frosty morning, I can almost smell skiing in the air – the time is drawing near folks! We've booked tunnels and flights to squeeze in two ski trips this coming season, one as a family and one just the husband and I. Can't wait!
Other than that, I'm beginning to research family summer holidays and I am also planning a little trip to New York in early July with my girls. The youngest will have just finished her GCSEs and the eldest will have recently turned 18 – two big things to celebrate (any excuse 😜)!
New York has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember so I'm excited about planning it. Don't fear, I am taking my sister with me for moral support – I'm not sure that the three of us alone in New York would be a good idea! If you've been to New York and have any tips on hotels or 'must sees/dos' then please do add them in the comments below.
And that just about wraps up autumn. Now we are on to Christmas and all the excitement that brings. Don't hate me but I'm actually planning to put up a Christmas tree at the weekend…all will be revealed next week!

A.J. took Thursday and Friday off from work, so after Liz headed to work, we packed up and headed to Governor Dodge State Park to climb, boulder, and camp overnight. After requesting the most secluded campsite (the ranger probably thought we were up to no good…. when in reality we just like to be away from people!) we set-up camp in our walk-in backpacking site, ate some grub, and headed out to climb.
We were not really sure of the grades at the time, but they all looked reasonable, so we roped up and had an enjoyable afternoon on the rock.
Two cans of black beans, seasonings, 2 avocados, 3 tomatoes, 1 head of red leaf lettuce, 6 wraps, and some cool beverages later, we had a legit and fulfilling meal. After cleaning up, despite the yet unset sun, we walked our tired muscles back to camp and settled in our tents for the night.
|Apparently we need a new can opener…
Around 4am Alex awoke to notice thunder and lightening in the distance… so out of our tents we moved to put the rain flies on, then settled back in for a few more hours of sleep.
Around 7am, the rumble of thunder and heightening breeze roused us again. After some back and forth over what we should do (wait it out or pack-up) we quickly packed up camp, briskly walked the half mile back to the car, just in time to beat the rain. After rechecking the weather, the day looked to be a washout, so we headed back to Madison, picked up some groceries ( Willy Street Co-op and Costco rock!) for and afternoon of cooking, brewing, and trip research.

The Conspiracy Club By Jonathan Kellerman
As a result from that, he had become a blacksheep in the hospital where he worked.
Then more women turns up murdered and the police paid a a few more visit.
Jeremy started to wonder and wanted to investigate himself. And out of the blue he started to received notes/ hints in his mail. These hints are very suspicious. It could be a clue or it could be a trap
Then there is another doctor, Arthur who was formerly attached to the hospital who also aroused his curiousity.
Jeremy does not know who is the friend and who is his enermy
I don't really like this book because the pace was kind of slow and not that much of suspense unlike his others novel.

Sometimes... your enemy is your friend, and your friend is an enemy. That's life. =( Not everyone is good.ReplyDelete
I thought must be a good book but some how ur ending said the pace was slow and not much suspense.ReplyDelete
Cleff - your enemy is your friend, and your friend is an enemy - very sad hor. Or maybe they cannot be considered even as friend since we can't differentiate whether they are friend or enemy? They are just someone that we know, but not friend.

Isn't this funny, I've just read my first book by this author - to be reviewed sometime this week and didn't really enjoy it either.ReplyDelete

"When we correct the factors that keep children at risk, we can make a difference in the lives of those children and the adults they'll grow up to be."
Mary Frances Bowley
Children are meant to imagine bright futures and chase them. But for the millions of at-risk children in America, hope is lost in the heavy fog of trauma. Make it Zero is a call to bring it back.
Tying shocking statistics to real stories, Make it Zero explores various forms of childhood vulnerability and offers specific ways for everyone to end them. It reveals the world of opportunity behind a single moment of compassion, and it teaches us that when we help the hopeless dream again, we ourselves come more alive.
A book for everyone—moms, dads, teachers, bus drivers, nurses, whomever—it calls us to fulfill our responsibility to children and build a world that is safe for every last one.
Each of us is only one person, but one person determined to act is powerful. Moments can multiply into movements and create groundswells of change. Make it Zero is your moment. Be inspired. Be empowered. Then bring hope to every child.

For centuries, different cultures have used cayenne pepper for culinary purposes and folk medicine. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which offers pain relief and may help with weight loss according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Some people use capsaicin to clear up sinuses and ease colds and allergies. Drinking a cayenne tea is one way to treat a stuffy nose. If you want to try a cayenne tea, you may want to add other flavors to your tea so that the cayenne does not overwhelm you.
Add 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger to your cup. The flavor of ginger can help mask the cayenne pepper. Ginger can also help soothe an upset stomach that may accompany colds or flu.
Add juice of a fresh lemon or include a lemon wedge. The sour, citrus flavor of lemon can help make your cayenne tea taste better.
Include 1 tablespoon of honey. For a sweeter tea, you can include more honey. The honey not only hides the burning sensation of cayenne, but honey helps to soothe a sore throat and acts as a cough suppressant, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Use only ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. You can increase the cayenne pepper to ½ teaspoon if you like the flavor and can handle its spicy heat.
Top the ingredients with boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for five to ten minutes. Taste the tea and add more spices or herbs as desired.
Items you will need
- Cup
- 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, chopped and peeled
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

While not particularly weird, this collaboration is a quite unexpected as we have heard in the past that The North Face is trying to distance itself from streetwear. Though the release of is Purple line in Japan and the Red line in Europe kind of run counter to that statement. A New Era cap and especially one in camo is about as streetwear as you can get at the moment, perhaps they have changed their decision.
The collaboration comes in the 59FIFTY fitted cap style offered in three sizes and four colorways, Camo, Navy, North Face Red and North Face Black. The cap is available now exclusively at the NYC flagship store of The North Face. Hopefully they will make them available to the rest of the world in the future.

The captioning service is a part of the campus-wide Accessibility Initiative aimed at fostering an accessible campus environment. The primary focus of this service is meeting captioning needs for accommodation requests and public-facing academic content. We also provide faculty, staff, and students with information, consultation, and guidance about closed captioning techniques, workflows, and policy.
The captioning service exists to assist you in meeting captioning needs related to University policy and standards by:
Closed captioning allows individuals with a hearing disability to access the content of your videos. In the classroom, this is critical to ensure all students can learn with the course material provided. Additionally, closed captioning is beneficial to a wide variety of students, including those for whom English is not their primary language, those who learn best by reading, and those who have trouble focusing. In some video players, including YouTube, captions even can allow students to search through the text of a video for more efficient reviewing.
It is also important to ensure public-facing content is closed captioned. This is addressed in our campus accessibility policy standards; public content representing a department should have closed captioning available. This ensures that anyone interested in learning more about CU Boulder and its departments is able to do so.
There are two ways: using a third-party vendor or creating your own captions. The captioning service can help you submit captioning requests to a vendor; pricing varies from $1/min to $5/min depending on the turnaround time needed and the source of your video content.
If you have students, employees, or volunteers who can caption content, the captioning service has resources available to support that. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com to request in-person training or consultations for no cost.
7:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

They are so married to this hatred of conservatives and their ideas, or even anyone that doesn't agree with them, including more moderate Democrats (read: Joe Lieberman) have to be hated, that I'm not sure how they'll ever reconcile their emotions into some form of reasonableness.
Now during the 90's, there was some definite dislike of Bill Clinton and in some wings of the conservative/libertarian movements, some definite hatred. But I never saw it to this degree. I never saw the hatred to the point of not just wanting to defeat their ideas, but to destroy them personally and politically. Clinton used a term that I think is actually applicable today, 'the politics of personal destruction'. He used it in a paranoid fashion where he was accusing his opponents of trying to personally destroy him, when in actuality, he WAS having sex in the Oval Office with an intern (thus showing himself to be a liar). However, most conservatives knew that Clinton was just a buffoon, not really someone to be hated, but rather worked against to ensure that his policies didn't become law.
Something I find interesting is that during the 2000 election, I was having a debate online with an anarchist, who said that if Bush wins, activism will begin to awake from an 8 year slumber and start showing up again. I disagreed with his take that activism had been dead, merely that it takes different forms when Republicans are doing it than when Democrats are. But he certainly was right, the leftwing/anarchist activists are out in full force, marching in the streets, protesting, etc.
Always wondered why Republican/conservatives don't do that, and then I remembered that the majority of us have jobs...jobs that don't let us do that sort of thing. Not in unions where they're paid to show up to protests like that. Not students who live off mommy and daddy's money. Jobs. The types of jobs that keep the economy moving forward so that mommy and daddy can keep sending the punk anarchists to school, and the types of jobs that help prop up those failed unions.

We recently had the chance to visit the Glassblowers at Edinburgh College of Art, to see for ourselves how glass is blown and made from scratch.
What was immediately very clear was that very little has changed since Stephen Adam chose a Glassblower as one of the subjects for his stained glass panel.
Here's the 1878 Glassblower holding his blowpipe, with molten glass on the end of it:
And here's the 21st Century Glassblower:
The only real difference is in the use of safety glasses to protect the eyes - and that the furnaces now tend to be electricly heated, rather than by gas.
But the equipment, tools, and methodologies are little changed from Adam's day.

The Doctor and Rose, with their new companion Adam Mitchell, find themselves on Satellite 5- a space station dedicated to transmitting news to the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. As usual, all is not what it seems as people who are 'promoted' to floor 500 are never seen again, technology is outdated, and something's wrong with the plumbing...
An interesting story with interesting characters, some good character development, an important milestone, and yet I still forgot this episode even existed. As they say, there's nothing worse than a 3-star review, as you're not mind-blowing, nor are you 'so bad it's good'; merely mediocre, bland and forgettable.
The main point of this episode centres around Adam (again, a completely forgettable companion). Adam
|The editor, with the 'editor-in-chief'
Not much more to say on this one. Everything is 'good, not great' which leads to a fun 45 minutes but not a memorable one, and in a way slightly disappointing when this series often strays into 'so bad it's good' with its camp cheesiness.
First Impressions: Pleasantly surprised, might give some credibility to the series.
In Retrospect: Oh yeah, this episode... Simon Pegg's cool.
Next Time: Father's Day. (aka the reason why I haven't dwelled on Rose's selfishness this episode)

Recipe Notes
LISA'S TIP – I spiced up the traditional coleslaw recipe as I'm not a huge fan of salads drenched in mayo dressing. For me the perfect coleslaw has just the right amount of dressing to lightly coat each and every piece. This salad is delicious served as it is, it's packed with protein from the pecans, which make it pleasurable for anyone following a vegan lifestyle.
I personally love to add chopped boiled eggs for extra protein, the tahini really compliments the boiled eggs. Although this salad is also a firm favourite to partner alongside salmon, meat or poultry.

A column in The Washington Post about the 2016 election and who is to blame for the outcome suggests that forecasting models had the race as pretty close to a toss-up, and cites a paper by James E. Campbell, UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science, published in the journal PS: Political Science & Politics. "So, how did these forecasts do? With a few exceptions, the accuracy of the presidential vote forecasts ranged from impressive to extraordinary," he wrote.

Popular and Sophisticated Male Haircuts! what's that mean? yep,it means…Â about haircuts that extremely chosen by men in all over da world. Most of men tend to wear a short hair, or at least the simple one. Easy to manage, Non Fuss, and versatile haircuts are became the most favorite. However, men always choose their haircut that depends on their personality.
Chris Evan
Bruce Willis
Anderson Cooper
Andy Samberg
Johnny Depp
Zachary Quinto
Justin Beiber
Chace Crawford
There are several Popular and Sophisticated Male Haircuts that really works for men that want to get masculine, classic, or trendy look. To achieve those look you need considering some haircuts below, that might you fancy to wear it :
How to Achive?
- To achieve best results, it's helpful to start with a clean, dry head of hair — hair that has product in it or hair that is flat due to sleeping or wearing a hat will be more difficult to cut evenly. It will also be helpful to have a hand mirror or a swing arm vanity mirror (this will allow you to keep both hands free). If using a swing arm mirror, mount the mirror on a wall that runs perpendicular to the vanity mirror. This will allow you to stand between the two mirrors and see the back of your head. Having both hands free is a big plus.
- Buzz the Top. Place the #3 (3/8″) attachment on the clipper. Holding the clipper guard flat against your forehead, begin cutting from front to back. Move the clipper slowly back down the middle of the head past the crown. Repeat in strips until the entire top is clipped down (cut everything to just past the point where the head rounds into the sides). You may need to go over it a few times to get it all even — making a few passes from side-to-side may also help. Pay extra attention to the crown. Since the hair grows in a circular pattern at the crown, you'll need to buzz from all directions to get it all cut.
- Buzz the Sides. Replace the attachment on the clipper with a #2 (1/4″). Keeping the clipper guard flat against the head, start at the sideburn and clip up the head to just past the start of buzzed down top section. Run the clipper in a straight line up past the part where the head begins to round at the top (the clipper will leave the head here) to provide a smooth blend between the sides and the top. If you see any lines between the two sections, rocking the clipper outward in a scooping motion will help you get a good blend. Repeat in strips on both sides until complete and go over any missed spots.
- Buzz the Back. Stand between the vanity mirror and your hand mirror (or swing arm mirror). For best results, your back should be facing the vanity mirror while you look into the hand mirror). This will allow you to see the entire back. Keeping the #2 on the clipper, with the clipper guard flat against the head, start buzzing from the bottom of the neck all the way up the head until just past the clipped part on top. Like the sides, continue up the head in a straight line allowing the round of the head near the top to provide a natural blend. Repeat in strips until the entire back is cut.
- Taper the Edges. Using the #1 (1/8″) attachment, taper in the edges. To do this, start at the sideburn and clip up to the top of the ear, rocking the clipper out in a scooping motion. This will blend into the #2 length section. Continue over the ear (it will be helpful to bend the ear over flat with your other hand to make room and allow you to see what you're doing) on each side. Once the sides are complete, turn around and do the same to the back, running the clipper up the back of the head and rocking it out at about ear level. The shortest part of the back will go up to meet the shortest part of the sides.
- Detail the Cut. Using your trimmer, you'll now trim your sideburns and shave your neck by creating a line and shaving everything underneath. This will give your cut a polished look. Holding your trimmer with the teeth of the blade pointing at your skin (the blade is parallel to the floor with the bottom of the blade facing up) will allow you to cut a clean line. Holding the trimmer with the bottom of the blade flat against your skin (with the teeth facing up) will allow you to shave everything underneath the line you created. Follow the natural hairline as closely as possible.
- Clean Up. Once you've finished the cut, inspect your entire head carefully for any missed spots or uneven places. Go back over anything that looks out of place. Be sure to pay close attention to the back and crown area as these are often the areas most guys miss. Sweep up, shower, and enjoy your new buzz.
Standard Burr
How to achive?
The hair is cut to around 1/8″ all over the head and is ideal for the man who wants a low-care style, especially those with very coarse, difficult hair. The cut will work for most men, except very round faces.
Medium Layer Cut
A contemporary verson of the medium Layer Cut. Hair is cut medium short all over the head. A razor can be used to add texture. The look is best finished with a wax or pomade to add additional texture. In the example above additional volume is created at the sides for a contemporary effect.
How to achive standard Crewcut? made contemporary with long, anglular sideburns and a vibrant red color. The hair is cut using clippers to a uniform length all over the head (the blade used is #2 sides and #3 1/2 top).
The hair is cut to the skin on the sides and back while a center strip is left long front the front to the nape of the neck. These haircut can be worn longer for a more aggressive look.
Faux Hawk
In the faux hawk, the hair is scissor-cut to a short length (as opposed to being shaved completely) and a longer strip of hair down the center of the head is left. Also, where a traditional Mohawk uses sharp lines in the style, the Faux Hawk is textured to blend the distinction between the two lengths of hair.
Shag Haircut
Most use a straight razor rather than scissors to give layers to hair for a shag haircut. Cutting with a razor is a less precise method of cutting hair, and, in this way, the hair is prevented from being all one length at the ends. Shag haircuts are a bit longer than most, and since the idea is for the hair to look somewhat sloppy and unkempt, a shag haircut does not have to be re-cut for months at a time.
Caesar Haircut
In the Caesar hair style, the hair on the top of the head is layered to around a length of 1 to 2 inches, with the front combed forward into short bangs. The back and sides are tapered. The haircut can be slightly gelled, depending on the preference of the wearer.
The cut should involve tapering the sides and leaving a good bit of hair on top (at least 3 inches). The styling involves a generous amount of styling gel or pomade. First, apply the gel. Then comb the hair back while also pushing slightly forward near the front to get lift. Finish it off by combing lightly in the back to blend it in and combing back the sides.
Flat Top
In the flat top, the hair on the sides and back are usually cut in a short taper, and the hair on the top is cut to stand up so that it gives a flat appearance. There are a number of possible length variations with the flat top, though the longer the hair on the top, the more likely you will need some sort of styling product (called butch wax) to get it to stand up straight.
Bald Cut
to achieve this hair style, trim your hair down to stubble with clippers. Then apply a shaving gel and work it into your scalp. Using a sharp razor, start shaving hair that is the thinnest first and then move to areas with more coarse hair such as the back of your head.
And here are some celebrity that would be your another idea for The Most Popular Male Haircuts :
Andy Samberg Haircut:
This is a good option for someone with wavy hair who wants a longer look. The hair is cut with shears in uniform layers all over the head. A bit of pomade or shine tonic adds shine and separation. This is a great "shake and go" style.
Chace Crawford Haircut:
Find a good stylist you trust to achieve the look you are going for. It is always a good idea to take a picture of what you want so that you are sure to get the right idea of what you want across to them. Chace's hair is left a little on the long side with long side-swept bangs and is textured with a razor. Using a styling product such as a gel, put a little in your hand and apply to your hair from the roots to the tips. Blow-dry the hair forward towards the face while using your fingers to give the hair some body. Finish off the style with a little hair spray that will hold it in place
Justin beiber Haircut:
To start the haircut, begin with freshly-washed hair and comb the hair down around the head to lie straight. Begin by making the perimeter cut – starting at the forehead and working from side to side to create curved lines that frame the face and brush along the bottoms of the earlobes. The cut line continues at the nape area in a gentle curve to continue the smooth outline and give a terminus for the interior layers. The nape lengths should be long enough to lie down along the neck and leave some room for the texturing stage to come.
Anderson Cooper Haircut:
This is a classic Ivy League in which the hair is cut to conform to the shape of the head, short at the crown and gradually getting longer towards the front. This cut is excellent for a guy who is looking for an easy, no fuss style and looks great with Anderson Cooper's "grey" hair.
Johnny Depp Haircut:
For Johnny Depp's style cut, start with a long layered silhouette with off centered part, tapered sideburns and neckline stylishly over the collar. Add long face framing love locks through the top for a seductive look. This artsy look is best suited for straight or slightly wavy hair and slender face shapes like Johnny's. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your style.
Chris Evan Haircut:
This cut is a contemporary variation of the Ivy League. The hair is cut to conform to the shape of the head with a bit more length in the front. The front spike is created by applying a wax or pomade and combing the top up and then smoothing it back down, leaving the front section standing up.
From long to short, contemporary to trendy, these male stars have you covered. Often male stars in music, movies, sports, and television give us good inspiration for finding a new haircut. For Popular and Sophisticated Male Haircuts above would be your choice for your daily life. All of them are really simple, easy to manage and trendy. Trendy men's hair often starts in Hollywood and makes its way around to the rest of us, so take a look around this men's hairstyle gallery and find a style that suits you. Then the next you must to do before you get a new haircut is ;
- Know how to spot a bad haircut. Two of the haircuts below are bad, one is flawless. Here's what's wrong. 1) In the first photo, there is a visible line between the clipper section and the section that was cut with shears and the neckline is blocked crooked and too high. Blending is poor and the cut looks uneven. 2) In the middle photo, there is a highly visible line in the side of the haircut. A properly blended haircut will never have visible lines of demarcation. Here's what's right. In the third photo, there are no visible lines of demarcation, the neckline is expertly tapered and the finishing lines behind and around the ears are clean. After your next haircut, go home and look in the mirror. If you see visible lines, bad blending, or sloppy finishing (blocking, trimming around ears), find a new barber!
- Your barber's not a mind reader. Have a clear idea of what you want and communicate clearly to your barber. You can communicate more clearly if you know the terms. Scroll down for a list of common barber terms.
- Barbers are paid to make you look good. If your barber makes a suggestion, give it a try. You may walk out with the best haircut of your life. If you don't like the cut, don't worry…. it'll always grow back!

Scaleway doubles down on ARM-based cloud servers
Iliads cloud hosting divisionScalewayhas been betting on ARM chipsets for years because they believe the future of hosting is going to be based on ARMs processor architecture. The company just launched more powerful ARMv8 options and added more cores to its cheapest options.
If youre not familiar with processor architecture, your computer and your smartphone use two different chipsets. Your laptop uses an x86 CPU manufactured by Intel or AMD, while your smartphone uses an ARM-based system-on-a-chip.
Back in April, Scaleway launched 64-bit ARM-based virtual servers thanks to Cavium ThunderX systems-on-a-chip. And the most affordable option is crazy cheap. For 2.99 per month ($3.30), you could get 2 ARMv8 cores and 2GB of RAM, 50GB of SSD with unlimited bandwidth at 200Mbit/s.
With todays update, Scaleway is doubling the number of cores on this option you now get 4 cores instead of 2, making it quite competitive with entry-level virtual private servers on DigitalOcean or Linode. The company told me that it could be the best compute-to-price ratio on the market. For 5.99, you now get 6 cores and 4GB of RAM.
And Scaleway also thinks you should be using ARM-based servers for your demanding tasks, as well. You can now get up to 64 cores and up to 128GB of RAM. This beefy option is quite expensive, at 279.99 per month, but Scaleway also added a bunch of intermediary options with 16, 32 or 48 cores.
My main complaint remains the same. Scaleway currently has two data centers in Paris and Amsterdam. The company needs to think about opening up new offerings in Asia and the U.S. if it wants to become a serious contender in the highly competitive cloud hosting market.

New Year's greetings!
January can be a harsh weather month here in Central Indiana. Our days can be cold, dark or at least gray, and lacking in the December brightness of holiday lights and celebrations that we have recently experienced.
On the flip side, however, January is a good time to embrace the internal and the eternal, to retreat a bit from the busy-ness of the world, to read, maybe sit by a fire, reflect on our blessings and re-connect with God a little more.
I know someone who has come to embrace these dreary months that used to get her down. She now calls it a "hibernation time" to rest, get in touch with her spiritual side, and not stress about a to-do list. In the Catholic Church, we talk about the "spiritual desert" of Lent, yet the late winter months can also be a good time to retreat to the desert and nurture our spirit.
As we start the second semester, many activities can nurture our spirit. Seniors are becoming even more engaged in making plans for life immediately after Scecina. Winter sports are in full swing. We welcome eighth-graders applying for the Crusader Class of 2023. The Crusaders for Life Club prepares to attend the annual March for Life in Washington, D. C. Catholic Schools Week later this month includes the annual East Deanery Band Festival at Scecina.
On Friday, Jan. 11, I hope those of you who are alumni will come back to Scecina with your families for Alumni Appreciation Night at the varsity boys basketball game. You can learn more at www.scecina.org/alumni-night. The game and refreshments are courtesy of us at Scecina as we show our appreciation for all you do and have done for Scecina. It is great evening; please come!
Father Kenneth Taylor
I want to remember Father Kenneth Taylor, who died Dec. 19. As an East Deanery priest at St. Rita Catholic Church, Father KT celebrated school Masses with Scecina students and staff. He recently had marked his 40th anniversary as a priest and was the longest-serving president of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus. Father KT was a tireless worker in the Lord's vineyard. May God grant him eternal rest.
As 2019 begins, may we seek the face of the Lord every day, for He looks upon us with mercy, warmth, and peace. I wish God's blessings of health and happiness upon you and yours all year long.
Joe TherberPresident
Dear Friends,
Do you remember the excitement — euphoria may be a better word — of Christmas vacation beginning when you were a student? I sure do. We are now at that time in our school year. The first semester has ended. Thanks to God's blessings, it included many memorable moments in our students' lives. They now turn their attention to celebrating Christmas.
As you and your loved ones enjoy or reminisce on family traditions while celebrating the birth of our Savior, all of us at Scecina wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please have a safe and joyful holiday.
We also know this time of year can be difficult for people and families who are experiencing or are about to experience a loss or transition of some kind. I can readily think of at least four families of Scecina alumni who are going through a difficult time right now. Please hold them in your prayers.
Just as God gave us the greatest gift imaginable through the birth of His Son, thank you for sharing your gifts that allow Scecina to minister each day to our students and their loved ones.
Merry Christmas!
Advent greetings!
As Catholic Christians, we consider this liturgical season of Advent as a "waiting period." We're not yet observing Christmas. That will come soon enough. For now, we're anticipating and preparing for the birth of our Savior.
In his homily at our first school Mass of Advent, Father Chris Wadelton reminded us that waiting for Christ doesn't mean doing nothing. Speaking about the Advent wreath candles, he challenged us to use the season to bring the light of Christ into the bruised world, to shed light on the darkness that may exist in some of our relationships.
Scecina is blessed with the varied voices of the priests of the East Deanery of the Archdiocese, including Father Chris, pastor at St. Philip Neri and a member of our Board of Directors. Each week, our students and staff hear from these messengers of faith, who bring their perspectives to bear. I'm sure students leave our weekly school Mass with interesting viewpoints to ponder.
Principal Brettnacher last week wrote about our plan to have East Deanery priests help us integrate our faith into all subject areas. This is part of our Catholic Identity initiative in the School Improvement Plan. We're grateful for the guidance and wisdom our deanery priests offer the Scecina Community in so many ways. We pray for all priests as they lead their flocks at all times, including during this important season in the Church year.
On Thursday, 51 students and staff shed some light on our community by sharing the gift of life through giving blood -- a total of 34 units to the Indiana Blood Center!. Thank you to everyone who donated.
On Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m., Scecina Music Director Chris Ritchie will lead our choirs and band in a holiday concert, "The Sounds of Christmas." This concert is free and open to all. Please join us.
This Advent, I hope you are able to shine your light in your part of the world. It gets to be such a harried month that we often lose sight of our own spiritual lives, yet that's the reason for the season!
With Thanksgiving upon us, I want to convey a word of thanks and appreciation from everyone at Scecina, for you and what you do to help and support our school.
The fact is often impressed upon me that certain things in society are mandated or required. For example, the United States government is required to have three branches — executive, legislative, and judicial. Businesses have constitutions and by-laws that govern their operating procedures. States and towns across our land have laws and rules to regulate commerce, communications, and traffic. Earners of wages and salaries must pay taxes to support the common good.
Scecina Memorial High School, however, is different. No law requires that we exist, which is one of the extraordinary aspects of our school. While we do not have to exist, we DO exist. We exist thanks to the voluntary choices that donors, volunteers, students, families, teachers and staff members, archdiocesan officials, and other friends make every day. We exist because so many have felt a special calling from God to support our mission to educate young people in spirit, mind and body.
While I was on the Archdiocese of Indianapolis staff, an important volunteer leader often described the strength of Catholic parishes and schools by saying, "We have something far greater than the power to tax. We have the power to ask." And ask we do because ask we must!
For responding to our ongoing requests for prayers, volunteerism, advice and counsel, advocacy, enrollment, engagement of many kinds, and financial support, thank you very much!
We're blessed by the gratitude that resides continually in hearts and minds throughout the Scecina Community. It is visible through the work of countless hands and feet now and throughout the year.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Dear Friends,
The three numbers 9/11 probably carry huge meaning to you. We remember where and with whom we were on the morning of September 11, 2001. We remember the shock, the sadness, the anger. We also remember the seemingly endless courage, servant-leadership, and prayers that poured forth around the globe that day.
This week at Scecina, thanks to the Emerald Society of the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD), we hosted the IFD 9/11 Commemorative Mass. After several years of having this 9/11 Mass at a local church, the Emerald Society wanted to have it at a school this year.
Why? To help our students—the vast majority of whom were born after 9/11/2001—reflect upon and value the, unfortunately, abundant goodness of that day while honoring the innocent victims and their loved ones.
Three words that come to my mind as descriptions of the 9/11 Mass are beautiful, inspiring, and spectacular. As a school community, we prayed and grew in our spirit of Christian faith, hope, and love. We worshipped alongside servant leaders from the Indianapolis Fire Department whose pledge to serve and save lives we truly appreciate.
Chief Ernest Malone of the Indianapolis Fire Department gave an inspiring speech after Mass. Scecina alumni Father John McCaslin (class of 1985) and Deacon Gary Blackwell (class of 1978) set the tone for the Mass as our celebrant and homilist. Deacon Gary also is an Indianapolis firefighter. You can read Deacon Gary's homily by clicking here.
Historically, hundreds of Scecina alumni and parents of Scecina students have chosen public safety for their line of work. As time marches on, I have grown in understanding and thankfulness for the oath that our public safety professionals and members of the military services take to protect and defend.
9/11. A tragic day. A day that has given rise to community from the ashes. In the inspiring footsteps of Father Thomas Scecina, let us all do everything that we can for one another and then "give that little extra."
God Bless,
All schools and parishes under the guidance of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

It's time for The Muppet Show! I race to change into my cozy pyjamas that my Grandma made and my fuzzy slippers. I grab my favourite blue blanket and my little friend, Miss Piggy. She is the size of a finger puppet but in my imagination she is much bigger than that.
I crank the big knob on the TV and launch myself onto the couch. I hold Miss Piggy out towards the TV so she has a perfect view, like me. I will hold her like that for the whole show. Mom comes by and props up my arm with a pillow. But even though my arm gets a bit sore from holding Miss Piggy that way, I don't mind. This is our TV-Time, and I want Miss Piggy to see the TV show, too.
The Muppet Show is my favourite. It's funny. And I get to see Miss Piggy. I like her because she has long blonde hair, nice make-up on her eyes, and she dresses pretty. I like her long, purple, silky gloves she wears. She is a bit loud but that's okay. Sometimes I imagine being dressed pretty like her with long blonde hair.
Once The Muppet Show is over it's bedtime. That's okay because I'm tired and my arm is tired.

There are plenty of amateur swinging parties for couples. Whether you are throwing an amateur swinging party or attending one, there are several things to keep in mind. Remember that any amateur swinging party can go awry when it is not properly planned out beforehand. Ensure that you and your guests have a great time by learning a few things about amateur swinging parties for couples.
Starting Out
If you are brand new to swinging it is not a good idea to throw a swingers party. You should attend a handful of parties to best decide how to throw your own swinger gathering. Once you are ready you should go about properly planning and stocking for the party. Decide whether you want to host it at your own
residence or if you would rather rent an apartment or building.
Hosting Parties
Hosting amateur swinging parties can be a challenge; especially your very first time. Get all of the proper necessities such as lube, condoms, snacks and drinks. It is also a good idea to have plenty of extra sheets and towels on hand for your guests.
Attending Parties
If you are attending parties it is still important to arrive prepared. This means providing your own lube and condoms; especially if you are particular. Be sure to properly groom yourself before the party. This is to help you as well as any potential hook ups. Be sure that you and your partner are both prepared and
excited to go. If you or your partner is nervous, discuss an exit strategy prior to arriving.

"Monday's Minutes" is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life. All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
Currently Reading:
- Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice
- A Free Man of Color by Barbara Hambly
- The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien – for #FanspeakTheRing
- Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor
- Show Your Shelves Some Love: 48 out of 51
- RIP XI: 4 of 4 books, at least 70 short stories – I'm completely caught up on Pseudopod, and I started listening to another Horror short story podcast called No Sleep.
Total pages read: 366
Total # of books for the year: 67. I would have loved to finish Queen of the Damned by the end of the weekend, but I was preparing for and then going to a baby shower. I also spent most of Sunday grocery shopping and cleaning everything in the apartment. Why? I've got mandatory overtime starting today, people coming over during the weekend, then the Boyfriend is having eye surgery next week. Being an adult really cuts into one's reading time, doesn't it? *sigh* I'm so looking forward to the readathon on the 22nd.
What are you reading this week?

This is a post in which I pick on someone for a writing violation. Here's Dana Boyd in a post titled, "Participatory Culture…":
Through a series of dialogues, we're hoping to produce a book that interrogates our different thoughts regarding participatory culture. The goal is to unpack our differences and agreements and identify some of the challenges that we see going forward. We began our dialogue this week and had a serious brain jam where we interrogated our own assumptions, values, and stakes in doing the research that we each do and thinking about the project of participatory culture more generally.
This just hurts me to read. Here's my plain-speak translation:
We sat down for dinner and talked about participatory culture. While we agreed on some things, there were more differences that we suspected. Before we move forward we need to make sure we understand our own assumptions about the topic.
This frustrates me to no end as a large portion of my job is stepping down corporate "nothing-speak" into words that have more impact. The biggest problem in academics is a sort of self-perpetuating "word bloom". For example, a colleague of mine of the academic persuasion can't just enjoy a Saturday with his daughter, everything has to: "present tangible opportunities for nurturing the early mind". Or, where I can just simply listen to Pitbull, his experience needs to be "drive home notional aspects of how pop culture and identity form novel topologies of continuous self-assessment."
Maybe I just need to engage in more dialogue and interrogate my own assumptions?

Sometimes we like "different," and sometimes we don't.
But different in Christianity doesn't always show up in how we look. Not always.
1 Peter 4 is a challenging reminder of how different should look in our world.
It is to bless and not curse. It is to understand the sobering effect of suffering and realize it is time to treasure Jesus. It is the sobering realization that what we treasured in this world is simply junk.
To live differently is to have the end in mind. It sobers us. We consider our mortality and how we want to live in light of that mortality.
It is to love deeply. To honor others. Things the world has no idea in the deepest forms of those words to accomplish. We move away from the shallow… and find the depth of blessing. To bless our enemies. Anyone can bless their friends. There is a depth to blessing your enemy.
What makes me different needs to be something of more depth than I have ever known. It is in the very core of how I think and then I will choose to respond to adversity in my life. THAT is where "difference" can be truly seen.

Donald Trump's history of Racism
Trumps History of Racism
Those of you who believe that Donald Trump is addled and his racist rants are just for publicity do not really know The Donald. Trump actually has a history of being boorish toward African-Americans. It seems that he has always lead with his mouth and was actually sued by the Justice Department once in the 70s.
A recent article states that Trump was sued by the Justice Department because he discriminated in one of his apartment complexes against blacks and other minorities. Apparently, Trump had different rental terms for blacks in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island than he had for whites. He hired non-other than McCarthy era lawyer Roy Cohn--he of I hate homosexuals because I am one fame—to defend him. After the judge censured Cohn, Trump settled the case, but was made to pay later applicants for telling them that there were no apartments available.
In 1989 when a white female jogger was brutally beaten and raped, Trump took out full-page ads in newspapers asking for the death penalty. The teens were later exonerated when the real rapist confessed and his DNA matched the DNA found on the victim.
In a book called "Trumped" written by John R. O'Donnell, Trump is accused of saying that laziness is a trait in blacks and that he did not like black guys counting money and the only people he wanted counting money were short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Trump did not deny O'Donnell's charges.
There are more. However, suffice it to say that The Donald may be a bundling wind-bag, but his latent racism is something that he has carried for some time. Including his new ideas that President Obama was not a good enough student to get into Ivy League schools. He once said about affirmative action, "If I was starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black because I really do believe they have the actual advantage today." I would love to see him as any kind of black.
I think half the rubbish Donald Trump is ranting about is just to get himself attention. I bet he doesn't even run for President.
Habuels was very specific about the reasons he concluded Trump to be racist. Oddly those reasons have nothing to do with Obama's policies or ideology. I'd like to know Mr. Newshawker, What exactly are President Obama's policies and ideology that you hate so much. I'd like to hear some specifics.
You believe in the Bible...God created man in his own image...did that include you?
Get over it man! every person who criticizes President Obama is racist? I was born and raised in Nigeria, and I detest Obama's policies and ideology, does that make me racist? Unless i missed something, Donald Trump may be boorish but he is certainly not racist!The bible tells me that the Jews are the chosen ones, when did African Americans become the chosen ones?
If one more person tells me all this hullabaloo is not racist, I might scream. It's the Mississppi Plan all over again and if they get their way, Jim Crow will be dancing his silly jig soon. Trump is a buffoon.
up/useful and awesome

Best Sword Art Online Characterslukestheman4
The Top Ten
Oh, so someone thinks Kirito is the worst character in the history of anime? Dude, if you don't like him, don't complain about him here! Besides, I've seen worse in other anime series as well. Cough *Makoto* cough *Ito* cough. Finally, who doesn't love Kirito? Kirito is a good guy, just like Klein said. And Klein's right! Kirito may look overpowered, but don't forget it's not like he saved everyone. There were some people who he wasn't able to save, but he wasn't going to give up, because he will never give up for their sake. So Kirito haters, go to hell!
He isn't a good character, he's just good. He doesn't have any character to him - styLIShT
What is it with the haters? Sword Art Online wouldn't be as successful if it wasn't for Kirito. He is truly dedicated to protecting those he loves including Asuna and is willing to fight and protect her even at the cost of his life. So whoever called Kirito the worst character in the history of anime clearly has no brain. Besides, at least Kirito doesn't roll up and whine like a baby like that annoying Shinji Ikari.
Kirito is awesome. Whoever dislikes him because he's a "Gary Stu", just look at all the other male protagonists of other anime. Kirito was a Beta-tester which is why he's good at Sword Art Online, and being good at a game does NOT make you a Gary Stu. He has a nice balance of kindness and power, and he made relatable mistakes (like when he left Klein in the first episode). So I think he's one of the best anime characters ever. - HollyNight
Best character ever and strongestV 58 Comments
Easily my favorite character. So much development yet people say she is bland and boring, I don't get it. She goes from hard core training let's beat SAO to understanding how to love the awful situation from Kirito. Also Kirito dies at least 3 times without her, the crazy guild member, when they fought the dungeon boss as just the 2 of them and the final boss. Without her I feel Kirito wouldn't have been able to finish the game from will power or his own strength.
She is SO pretty and I love her attitude. She might seem mean the first time you see her in an episode, but in the other episodes she's really sweet and kind. (Did I mention she was REALLY pretty? )
Sword Art Online does not suck because of the characters. It sucks because of the haters thinking the characters made it suck. By the way, I love Kirito and Asuna, along with Sinon as well. As a lover of Sword Art Online, I have to say, "Shame on the haters for bothering to put hate comments on this list for the characters! ". Anyone who just comes here to hate on the characters should go to hell! Why do the haters even come here in the first place? Screw them! Asuna was a good character in the Aincrad and Mother's Rosario arcs!
Asuna is the best. I love her attitude. I also like the way she threatenes kirito. And she is more beautiful and cooler than sinon.sinon is so annoying.V 37 Comments
Best girl and has more stuff in common with Kirito than Asuna does, people literally only watched season two because of Sinon and wished she would get her own show because of how interesting she is compared to Asuna.
Okay, despite the main characters, Kirito and Asuna. Sinon is a really great character. Even though the second half kinda ruined the series, she is a redeeming factor. Whenever I see her in the second season, I see her as a guilty pleasure to save the series. Her development is just good. Good enough. - MissRWBY202
She is awesome and she should be with kirito and personally I don't like asuna, sinon is also much more beautiful
Sinon is the best gun user!V 45 Comments
It's not true that she was weaker than Kirito. He was apparently fighting at his hardest in the middle of the battle, but lost anyway.
She took the Stu out of Kirito. He was a large Gary Stu, and I will admit that. She's awesome. As a person hoping to be an official author soon, I can tell you that making a good character is very difficult. But she was the perfect combination of all of the spices, a firework that died away at the end. It was the grand finale. She was just the embodiment of a good TEMPORARY character. If she had stayed it would have been a bit boring after a while.
But while she was there, the death still left me shocked. THAT'S a good character. Kirito's "death" left me bored and emotionless, and he sprung back up anyway. It's not that I HATE him, but he was just a bit of a bland Stu in my opinion.
Yuuki, though, was just a perfect combination in the recipe of a character. It was a beautiful part of it. She was important in the series' development.
For a character who only had so much screen time in one arc, Konno Yuuki surprisingly has a lot of character development and has shown a very strong relationship with Asuna Yuuki. That's what makes a character like Konno Yuuki an unforgettable character. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
Yuki didn't fall for Kirito even when he appeared that's an achievement
SHE IS AWESOMEV 24 Comments
Klein is hilarious! Really sweet and tries to help everyone. He is also the first person Kirito meets in SAO.
Klein is one of a million. A true good hearted person and understander as he was one of the few that knew how Kirito felt even when Kirito didn't say a word, he knew just basing on the little he knew of him. He's a character that inspires you comfort and cosiness in a way and you don't want him to suffer in any way. The only bad thing about this character is that the show didn't care of him that much.
Dude, how is it possible to hate him? I love Klein! I do wish he can get more screen time though! But it's because I love Klein. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
Klein is hilarious. Best friend Kirito ever had. - TheDarkOne_221bV 20 Comments
Best supporting character. Incredible how she overcomes her feelings to be the support that inspires Kirito and gives him strength when in trouble.
I love her, one of the most interesting characters, I hate how all the interesting ones get the least screen time, Asuna has too much screen time..
I took pity on her. Never even thought of loving MY brother. I do love him as an elder brother, but NEVER, EVER romantically, really.
I ' adore sugu, she's so caring and loving and she accepted Asuna as Kirito's (unfortunately) girlfriend. in my opinion she is the best female character. she's so funny alsoV 9 Comments
He managed to help Kirito once (and you'll have to watch to see when it happens).
He is basically a trolls god in red armor that completely rekt Kirito. However kirito came back and killed him because video games are legit
Kayaba Akihiko is great. The power to kill someone's real self through a VRMMO was pretty sinister, but if it weren't for his work, then Kirito and Asuna wouldn't have fallen in love, VRMMOs wouldn't have made it big, and Yuuki wouldn't have spent the last few years of her illness in pain. Also, he basically lived on as an AI because he uploaded his own consciousness. That's pretty cool. - Prospekt
Kayaba Akihiko is easily one of the best characters. To him, SAO wasn't a death game to a life no different from reality but more magical. He stayed everyone after the game ended and saved them in game as Heathcliff. He could have just had everyone die after the game was cleared. Also he made the medicuboid.V 2 Comments
Yui is so cute! When she disappeared I was so sad I started to cry just a bit though but still! And she made the series so better and she even saved Kirito and Asuna even though she would be deleted! Yui sacrificed her life, so I BETTER NOT SEE ANYMORE HATE ON YUI!
Okay, what's with the hate on Yui? She saved Kirito and Asuna one time even though she knew she would be deleted! What's to hate about that?
Sure, her "Mommy" gig can be a little annoying, but everything else about her is just beautiful. She is willing to do anything for Kirito and Asuna. Although she's just an AI character, she's the smartest and most helpful AI I've ever seen in a game. - Solacress
She's the only character than actually made me cry. He disappearance was easily the saddest part of the series. (still crying) - SolacressV 22 Comments
I'm a Silica and Pina lover! I think she is the best. Me and Silica have a connection a bond! She is amazing at singing even better than me. Silica is THE strongest player. Anyone who does not love her is not living!
SILICA IS SO CUTE! She loves animals! If I was a sao character everyone would definitely pick her for me.
I'm surprised there are no hate comments here, for some despicable people think she's annoying. I'm glad to see people giving her some love. - Solacress
Even though I play a lot of fnaf silica is always better she reminds me of the human version of circus baby, she is the best and I hate it when people offend pina with the pina colada song SHOW PINA SOME LOVEV 11 Comments
The only black character on the show. And who doesn't love Agil? Everyone loves Klein and Agil. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
He helped out Kirito more than once
The best developed and only sane character
He's just so funny and helps out kirito a lotV 5 Comments
The Newcomers
Wasted badass
The Contenders
Why are Leafa and Suguha separate? Their the same person! - Coreylordo
I feel Leafa is kind of underrated. Although I think I can see why...
Why why she is so down I just love her so much I don't know why but I feel something Alec for her I don't know why but I love so much I can't even tell
Best girl deserves more love. So beautiful and a strong loyal sister.V 7 Comments
He was a lot better than the original Kirito. He developed well, subtly but well. He was (somehow) relatable and hilarious, all tying into being a very satisfying character in general.
I can't believe this guy is on here. But let's be real, this one is better than the original. (Fight me, yeah come at me bro).
He has a tongue just as sharp as his sword, you could say. (And yes, I know he's not a canon character)
I reject your reality and substitute my ownV 19 Comments
Well, at least she made the Dark Repulser sword for Kirito. If it wasn't for her, Kirito wouldn't have beaten The Gleam Eyes boss.
Why is she so far down the list? She's amazing and sweet, and cute. Her persona is awesome and honestly deserves so much more and better then Kirito. The Asuna and Kirito couple can go to hell for all I care.
Lizbeth deserves way more attention and recognition than what she gets! She's a great character, she just needs her own story arc and more appearances in the anime/manga to get more attention. I feel like she would be a great aspect to the show, it's all Sinnon show now. Sinnon is cool, but she is a screen hog. She takes up all the screen time, and some of that screen time could be going to Lizbeth.
Lizbeth is such a great character who was not nearly used enoughV 15 Comments
Sachi's death was, in my opinion, the saddest death in the series. Most of Kirito's development was because of Sachi and I was very sad to see her die. If Sachi stayed, we could have seen a weak, scared girl become a badass like Asuna.
She was very realistic and was a big part of Kirito's development. I personally favor her more than Asuna. - YanomiBaka
She was like Sword Art Online's very own dandere.
Kirito x Sachi is my OTP. Fight me.V 2 Comments
His death was sadder than both Sachi and Yuuki combined. RIP Eugeo
HOW IS HE SO LOW ON THE LIST! He sacrificed his life to save Kirito! His character development was the best that I've seen so far in this series. Come one guys, give Eugeo some appreciation. On another note, he's also super hot!
He hasn't been seen in the anime series yet, so he seems to only be seen in the light novel. At least until the new Sword Art Online III comes out this summer in 2016.
He's the cutest looking guy ever!V 9 Comments
Death by gun more like
Death gun sucks
"It's showtime! " lol best catchphrase in the series for sure. Oddly it's spoken in English, even in the Japanese dub of the anime. O_o - Prospekt
boom boomV 1 Comment
Alice is simply amazing if you ever read the LN. Is really strong, takes really good care of Kirito when he <spoiler>, and actually has her viewpoint unlike most other chars
I am trying to make Engel and Alice on top. If only Alice and Eugeo were in the Sword Art Online Episodes already...
Alice would be the third or fourth best character after Kirito and Asuna,her character development was impressive and she was a strong willed character.Let's admit it, someone who can pose a threat to Kirito x Asuna is not ordinary.
I think everyone doesn't know who Eugeo or Alice is. It's in alizizationV 1 Comment
The guy is a legend he never got the girl and had the most meaningless death in all of television
Sacrificed the most in the ALO arc, and still didn't get the girl.
She's just a minor character. Though she kind of cemented the relationship of Kirito and Asuna together. I liked episode 10.
No one even has a reason for Griselda to be in the top 15 so...
If anyone can tell me a reason for her to be above silica, than be my guest.
She died
Lizabeth is agood player she helped kirito make a damn weapon
So uh she's a minor character in Lost Song, but she's considered... right? I personally like her. She's really cute in that Pooka avatar...
Best char ever
Is Sugou the worst anime character ever? NO! He is the WORST THING EVER! This filthy pervert deserves no fans at all! - ModernSpongeBobSucks
Sorry AnimeAmerica, no one on this list wants to put an evil perverted scumbag like Sugou at number 1. If you want Sugou to be number 1 on a list, he's number 1 on Worst Sword Art Online characters. I hope I've made your day. LOL. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
Wow, you put the worst character on the show on this list? - ModernSpongeBobSucks
The donald trump of animeV 13 Comments
Was it really necessary to spoil it for people who haven't watched the Phantom Bullet arc yet?
Spoiler alert: sterben is death gun
He's an awful ugly character. He molested Sinon! Sick ugly pervert.
He's not as bad as sugou witch made 50% of the sao haters hate sword art online - ikerevievs
Correction. He ALMOST molested Sinon. Then she hit him with a radio.
THEN Kirito made a joke with her and she nearly hit HIM with a radio because after getting over the gun PTSD, now she had that lovely image.

Exactly what Voord looked like was unknown, as they were always seen in a complete body suit. This suit tended to be effective protection from hostile elements. It was not, however, completely impermeable. Barbara once discovered an empty Voord suit with two puncture marks, suggesting that the acid had consumed the Voord within.
Still, the shape of the suit suggested a few things about basic Voord anatomy. They were, for example, humanoid. And they had three appendages on their heads — a thin stick with a circle at the front and two loop-like horns on the side.
Using these, the Voord were capable of telepathically communicating with each other. The leader had the higher intelligence and was able to control others with this organ. They could also control the minds of the Fishmen, but they could not read the Doctor's mind. If this organ was damaged or removed, the Voord would be rendered senseless.
Nevertheless, all Voord did not have all these cranial appendages. Yartek, the leader of the Voord on Marinus, only had two appendages, one on the right and left of his head. The Kandalinga incident notwithstanding, the precise functionality of each of these three appendages — and whether they were biological or technological — was unclear. It was therefore unknown whether Yartek represented a subspecies of Voord, or whether he merely had a different instrument panel in the his suit's helmet.
On Marinus, the Voord used one-man submarines, while on Kandalinga the Voord used large barges to travel around on. The barges travelled above the surface of the water and were capable of stopping and speeding up quickly. The barges made no sounds and no waste-products and the Doctor believed them powered by anti-gravity.
The Voord, led by Yartek, sought to take control of the Conscience of Marinus, thus taking control of Marinus, but were defeated by the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara.
A few hundred survivors were able to escape, take two of the keys of Marinus, and make their way to Kandalinga. As there was no land to build on, they were forced to rebuild their ship into a base and enslaved the Fishmen as workers. They planned to convert the oceans to land and build ships to return to Marinus, a plan that would take thousands of years to complete.
The Voords on Marinus began experimenting with a World Shaper, which accelerated time locally and "quick-evolved" the Voords. Over time they replaced their body parts with cybernetic parts.
The Doctor, Frobisher, Peri Brown and Jamie McCrimmon attempted to stop the Voord. Jamie sacrificed himself to destroy the World Shaper, which caused a blast that accelerated time. Marinus became known as Mondas and the Voord evolved into entirely cybernetic creatures called Cybermen. Many thousands years later, the Doctor came into contact again with the Voord on Kandalinga. After being brought to the leader, the leader believed that the Doctor's ship could be used by the Voord. The Doctor was able to stop the leader, breaking his telepathic control and allowing the fishmen to rise up and take back their planet.
Professor Thripsted believed that the Voord were the direct ancestors of the Remote, and their entire planet a sociology experiment done by Faction Paradox, as outlined in Genetic Politics Beyond the Third Zone.
