Maple Leafs Leading Regular Season Scorer: Phil Kessel, 52 points (20 goals, 32 assists).
Bruins Expected Starting Goaltender: Tuukka Rask, 19-10-5, 2.00 GAA, .929SV%.

Bruins Regular Season Statistics
Maple Leafs Regular Season Statistics
Bruins Injuries: Right winger Nathan Horton ("upper body) is questionable. Center Marc Savard (concussion) is on injured reserve.
Maple Leafs Injuries: Center Tyler Bozak ("upper body") is probable.
Bruins with Stanley Cup bling: Patrice Bergeron, C; Johnny Boychuk, D; Gregory Campbell, C; Zdeno Chara, D; Andrew Ference, D; Nathan Horton, RW; Jaromir Jagr, RW; Chris Kelly, C; David Krejci, C; Milan Lucic, LW; Brad Marchand, C; Adam McQuaid, D; Daniel Paille, LW; Rich Peverly, C; Tuukka Rask, G; Marc Savard, C; Tyler Seguin, C; Dennis Seidenberg, D; Shawn Thornton, LW.
Maple Leafs with Stanley Cup bling: None.Something worthwhile about the Bruins: At 14.8 percent, the Bruins have the lowest power-play percentage of any team in the postseason.
Something worthwhile about the Maple Leafs: The Maple Leafs averaged the most penalty minute per game this season at 16.2 minutes.
Something useless about the Bruins that is vaguely connected to the Penguins: Former Penguins center Derek Sanderson holds the Bruins' single-postseason record for shorthanded goals. He had three in 1969.
Something useless about the Maple Leafs that is vaguely connected to the Penguins: Former Penguins defenseman Tim Horton holds the Maple Leafs record for career postseason games with 97.
Former Penguins on the Bruins: Andrew Ference, D; Jaromir Jagr, RW.
Former Penguins on the Maple Leafs: Randy Carlyle, head coach.
Who needs to be the difference for the Bruins: Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference, Johnny Boychuk. The Maple Leafs generate speed with a fleet crew of forwards. The Bruins need to rely on their old formula of physical defense to wear down the likes of Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul.
Who needs to be the difference for the Maple Leafs: Reimer (above). No other goaltender enters the postseason with more question marks. Is he a legit franchise goaltender? We'll find out this series.
Best Bruins YouTube Video We Could Find: Horton's overtime goal in a 4-3 win against the rival Canadiens in Game 7 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series in 2011:
Best Maple Leafs YouTube Video We Could Find: Former Maple Leafs right winger Nikolai Borchevsky's overtime goal in a 4-3 road win against the rival Red Wings in Game 7 of a 1993 Norris Division semifinal series:
EN Prediction: Both of these teams like to hit and they will try to wear one another down over the course of this series. The difference will be goaltending and experience for Boston. Rask has a better playoff resume than Reimer and the Bruins as a whole are only two years removed from a Stanley Cup title. Bruins 4-2.

The prosecution is expected to complete its case later Wednesday in the Philadelphia trial of two former city police officers in the 2008 shooting death of a West Oak Lane man during an off-duty argument about a stolen pizza pie.
Assistant District Attorney Gail Fairman confirmed the likely end of her case Wednesday after a morning of testimony in which another woman testified that she saw ex-Sgt. Chauncey Ellison shoot Lawrence Allen during a loud confrontation in the middle of the 1900 block of Renovo Street.

The following sections describe the steps you must perform
to create a certificate chain. Before you create the chain, you
must have the following certificates:
A root CA certificate (See "Create a Certificate
One (or more) intermediate CA certificates (See "Creating an Intermediate
CA (RA) Certificate ".)
Client/server certificate signed with the intermediate
CA certificate (See "Creating a Client/Server
Certificate Signed with an Intermediate CA Certificate ".)
With the Certificate Tool, you can generate an X509 certificate
for an intermediate CA or RA (Registration Authority). Perform the
following steps to generate an X509 certificate.
a certificate signing request. (Select item 3 in the Certificate
Tool Main Menu.)
Sign the certificate signing request with the root
CA certificate. (Select item 6 in the Certificate Tool Main Menu.)
After you create an intermediate CA certificate (described
in the previous section), create a client/server certificate as
Create a certificate signing
request. (Select menu item 3 in the Certificate Tool Main Menu.)
Sign the certificate signing request with the intermediate
CA certificate. (Select menu item 6 in the Certificate Tool Main
Encrypting the private key
is not required for creating a client/server certificate. However,
if the key is encrypted, you can also use the certificate as an
intermedicate CA certificate with which another certificate will
be signed.
Some OpenSSL APIs require a certificate chain file. This file
contains certificates that form the certificate chain (from the
client/server certificate to the root CA certificate).
To create a certificate chain file, append the certificates
of intermediate CA(s) and the root CA to the client/server certificate.
The order in the file can be expressed as follows:
client/server cert >>> intermediate
CA1 >>> intermediate CA2 >>> root
Enter the following command to create a certificate chain

Max Scherzer knows a thing or two about prolonging a lengthy winning streak. Scherzer looks to extend Detroit's run to 12 contests as the visiting Tigers wrap up a four-game series with the struggling Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. Scherzer won his first 13 decisions and aims to bolster his already strong Cy Young credentials against an Indians club that has fallen six games behind Detroit in the American League Central.
Cleveland sends right-hander Zach McAllister to the hill in an attempt to avoid a four-game sweep. McAllister is winless over his last five starts, but has had success against the Tigers over the course of his career. The Tigers, who needed 14 innings to subdue the Indians 6-5 on Wednesday night, travel to the Bronx for a weekend series against the New York Yankees while the Indians entertain the Los Angeles Angels.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSD (Detroit), STO (Cleveland)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Max Scherzer (16-1, 2.85 ERA) vs. Indians RH Zach McAllister (4-6, 3.47)
Scherzer has bounced back nicely from his lone loss of the season, surrendering just two runs over his last 21 2/3 innings. He has been especially stingy over his previous two starts, limiting the Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies to four combined hits over 13 2/3 frames. "It is pretty tough to do much against Scherzer right now," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said following last weekend's 3-0 win. "He's just got too much stuff."
McAllister hasn't won since May 23, but has shown improvement in three starts since returning from a sprained right middle finger. The 25-year-old allowed two runs over seven innings in a no-decision against the White Sox, then followed it up with 5 1/3 solid innings against the Miami Marlins. McAllister has a 2.28 ERA in 23 2/3 career innings against Detroit, including a six-inning quality start on May 12.
1. Detroit has won 10 of the last 11 meetings between the clubs, including seven of eight at Progressive Field.
2. Cleveland hitters are batting a combined .210 with two home runs in 210 career at-bats against Scherzer.
3. McAllister hasn't surrendered a home run since his May 23 victory, a span of 29 innings.
PREDICTION: Tigers 6, Indians 1

Wolfram|Alpha Partnership
First up is a new integration with Wolfram|Alpha in the diet and fitness category. As a result, users will be able to get information on nutrition and the Body Mass Index (BMI).
Enhanced Hover Preview
When Bing launched, hover preview was one of its features. The preview grabbed text from a search result so you could see more info on a site before clicking on the link. You had hover over a very small and specific circle. But now Bing is making the hover preview more accessible and substantial. Here's what to expect:
- An actual snapshot of the Web site in question
- A link to the customer service number (where appropriate)
- Deep links, the most-often-clicked links on the site
- A search-within-this-site box that allows you to scour the site to find what you're looking for.
- Facebook page previews, from which you can view a person's picture, see who is in their Facebook network and send them a message or friend request.
Weather/Event Results
If you search for a city, on the left sidebar, you'll see a refinement search for weather in that city. Clicking on that will give you more detailed information about weather. This can help you plan your day so you know whether to grab that jacket or umbrella on the way out the door.
Bing will be pulling together information from news, events, xRank results, Twitter feeds, images, Best Match results and content from trusted sites for the Weather/Events results.
The updates will roll out over the next few days, so hold your horses if you haven't gotten them yet.

8-Channel Digital Audio Mixer for Digital Mastering and Recording
Authors have designed and developed an 8 channel digital audio mixer for digital mastering and recording. It consists of 4 units: 1) Signal processing unit, 2) Remote control unit, 3) 8-ch A/D unit, 4) 8-ch D/A unit. The Signal processing unit has low cut and high cut filters +4-band equalizer + emphasis/deemphasis equalizer for each channel and has two program outputs and two aux outputs. To maintain high quality signal resolution, the filter and equalizer section consists of 6 fourth-order digital filters whose coefficient word length is 24-bit and signal word length is 38-bit. The Remote control unit has the same appearance as that of analog mixer, enabling the fast and easy operation. Its communication line with the signal processing unit is IEEE-488 bus. The 8-ch A/D unit and 8-ch D/A unit are separate from each other and from the Signal processing unit in order to be able to set the A/D unit or D/A unit near analog sound sources or speakers etc., thus avoiding a long transmition of analog signals which may cause signal deterioration.

This review is from: YAMAHA Aventage RX-A3030 9.2-Channel Network AV Receiver
Pros: Has so many input connections you'll never use them all. Also has a full front panel input that allows you to hook up mp3 players, phones, etc via usb, camcorders, and what ever other device you have that's portable. Supports up to 9.2 configuration. 11.2 with an external amp. Has a wired port for internet. You can connect to SiriusXM internet service. Sound is incredible. Will upmix video to 4k, and pass through 3d. Calibration of speakers is super easy, and can even be setup for multi-position. Works very well with the top of the line Klipsch speakers...love this setup.
Cons: In order to run 11.2 configuration, you need to have an external amp. It was really tough to figure this out. The manual contradicts itself. This thing is huge! It barely fits on my entertainment stand. The remote is huge, and not backlit. The LCD display on the remote is pointless. You have to download the manual, all you get is the warranty and quick setup guide. The Wifi adapter (separate purchase) doesn't work too well. Never got it configured correctly. Luckily running Cat6 fixed the issue. You really need to make sure your entertainment cabinet/stand/rack/shelf is deep and high enough to support this unit. It is huge.
Other Thoughts: We have been using Yamaha receivers in our entertainment room for 15 years. When some of our original speakers from a HTIB setup started going out, I was shopping around for some new speakers. Of course, I got carried away and replaced all the old Yamaha Speakers with Klipsch speakers. Then I got to thinking about the receiver itself. Our old one is still in great condition, but dated. It's about 5 years old. I wasn't impressed with sony, onkoyo, or Samsung. This unit is perfect. I love all the new features. I can now get SiriusXM in the house. It will also handle Pandora I think, along with my DLNA server on my NAS. It handles everything, and will upscale to 4k for someday when I get a 4k tv. They even put in an extra HDMI In. I have enough speakers for 11.2, but in order to set that up, you need an external Amp. Had problem figuring that out since the manual seems to contradict itself on this topic. I had to email tech support at Yamaha to get the straight answer, but they were quick to respond. Still on the fence with 11.2 right now though. Setting up was easy. Please note that the monster banana plugs that are joined together will not work on this unit. They are not spaced far enough apart. It's not Yamaha's fault though. The sound is incredible. The first thing I did after setup and calibrated was to play LOTR Fellowship of the Ring. The audio in the introduction was almost as good as in an Imax theater. This device will also pass through 4k and 3d signal. This unit may be on the pricey side, but it was a huge improvement from my 5 year old Yamaha unit. I bought the wifi adapter, but it never connected correctly to my network. It was just easier to run a Cat6 line to the unit. I say definitely give this unite a try. You won't be disappointed. Just make sure it will fit in you entertainment center. It is really big. Both in height and depth. The length is about the same as older models.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Klipsch Synergy C-20 Premium Dual 5.25" Center-channel Speaker Single
Pros: Great sound, supports dual Amp.
Cons: Size. This thing is huge. But not a reason to knock off an egg.
Other Thoughts: Check you measurements. This thing is huge! But the sound is incredible for the price. I had the old stock HTIB Yamaha speaker that had a low enough profile that it could sit in front of my tv without blocking the picture. This beast is so large it won't sit at the same level of my tv. I have to either put it under the tv, or above. It supports two inputs, which is great, just don't really need to use it since it's got such great sound coming off of 1 amp. When paired with the C20 surround speakers, the sound is incredible. Make sure you run the Calibration program on you amp for all speakers.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 1TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE1T0BW
Pros: Large storage size, very fast
Cons: The physical size of this drive is not standard.
Other Thoughts: I had my OS installed on an OCZ 512Gig SSD. I upgraded to this to increase storage. I was very surprised at how fast this drive is, particularly after you run the magician software on it. Everything now seems much snappier. On the OCZ drive, if I had my documents folder open and saved a new file to it, that new file would show at the bottom of the list. Now, with this drive, it shows up right where it should be in alphabetical order instantly.
The downside of this device is the physical size of the drive. It is slightly larger then the standard SSD. So any mounting kit you buy, the mounting holes will not match up correctly. I was able to force in two screws on the bracket, but couldn't get the other 2 in. No worries though, it's still secure.
So far, I'm very happy with this upgrade. I bought it to increase my SSD storage and ended up with that an a performance boost!

I'm thinking worst case scenario, but what if a friend, or family member (say a MIL...) who didn't quite like the multilingual thing, politely asked if you didn't speak the second language in their house? Part of me thinks, well, it IS their house...but I wouldn't know how to argue against that. Any ideas of what you would say?
(The only issue with my MIL is that she feels like LO won't be able to communicate with her if I'm always speaking to him in Spanish. Obviously he understands more Spanish than English at this stage, but he'll catch up in time. DH does English, but since he's at work all day he naturally gets more Spanish...MIL just feels like she can't communicate with him until then...)

The Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick is a tinted lip color that glides on like a lipstick but looks like a gloss. With nourishing Jojoba, Soybean and Vitamin E key ingredients, it conditions and moisturizes the lips. The twist-up component and smooth glide formula is easy to use for on-the-go application.
The new lip trend seems to be these jumbo lip glosses. I decided that for a $1 this product was at least worth trying. It did not disappoint at all! :) It has a minty taste and a smooth glide on to your lips with lasting color. Very good product! will defiantly be purchasing this in other colors.
I love that the lip gloss goes on like lip stick but it broke really easily. I just put it back in and it worked fine after that though. The color is great!
I love this product. It's amazing it looks like a pencil lip liner but when you put it on, it goes on smoothly just like a lip gloss...I have to get more off these before it goes out!!

I have a Macbook Pro that dual boots with a retail version of Windows 7. I recently purchased Parallels 6, hoping that I could have the best of both worlds. Dual Boot for performance, VM for reference. It should have occurred to me beforehand, hoping that Parallels would mimic the Boot Camp environment, but I had to reactivate my copy of Windows running as a VM.
Slightly upset with Parallels lack of fore warning, I understand the licensing implications of running Windows 7 in two different environments.
I have an MSDN subscription, which entitles me to use Windows 7 Enterprise, which I believe can cope with being installed on up to four different environments.
- Would Windows 7 Enterprise require reactivation every time I switched between Boot Camp and Parallels?
- If not, I've spent a good deal of time getting my Windows 7 installation the way I want it. Is it possible to tell the existing installation (Ultimate Retail) that it is now Enterprise?

Released: Mar 01st, 2001
Running Time: 82
Director: Joseph De Carlo
Company: Bacchus Releasing
Cast: Drew Andrews, Ethan Star, Ralph Valentino, Cameron Cruise, Anthony DeAngelo, Scott Mann, Michael Brandon
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Gay and Bi
With its almost clever story-telling style, this tape might be stocked with your more unusual videos.
The "fourth wall" is meant to keep the actors and the audience separate. In this case, we really need that wall to save us from smart-ass Cameron Cruise's rather insipid commentary - though, in his defense, it does serve to move the story along.
Like his name implies, Cruise decides to do just that and explore his neighborhood and nearby campgrounds, where he finds plenty of uninspired action.

Official figure:
Standard foot soldier or perhaps archer:
Nobleman (with a bit of a belly - his own fault for picking a boar as his symbol I guess!):
Shield for basic soldiers:
Feedback most welcome, enjoy!
EDIT: Flobnomdob requested some knight torsos that would work with the official legs, so I came up with these:
Tabbard, front and back:
I've also made a couple of images for the standard 2x2 flag and the 3x7 for a hanging banner:
EDIT: So I finally got a couple of the figures and I can certainly see what Wardancer, ZCerberus and Darkdragon were referring to. The colour of the boar's head is quite disappointing.
So I decided to replace the ovoid shield rather than recolour the images I've made:
Also, Andhe requested barding for the black knight's horse, which I thought was a marvellous idea! I used a template, I believe by Armothe. Here's what I came up with:

Yesterday was Mother's Day in the UK.
My mother died in 1996. She was born in 1900, survived the Influenza pandemic in 1918, married at 23 – an Italian who became a jazz musician in the 30's and 40's, lived through two world wars, gave birth to five children, lost two toddlers – one to whooping-cough and one in an accident, lost her husband when she was just 52 and in her 80's, lost her eldest daughter to illness.
I think of my mother often and her life. She lived through so much unhappiness yet she always seemed buoyant, full of life, with immeasurable energy. It's the little things I remember. She never went anywhere without a packet of Handy Andy tissues in her bag. That bag also held a sachet of fruit drops, her favourite sweets, several pencils and pens, writing pads for me to doodle on when we visited relatives who wanted her absolute attention, a powder compact with hardly any compressed powder in it – she'd used the same one for years and two or three bunches of keys; what did they open?
My mother had a thing about washing your hands. Whenever we'd been out, the first thing we did when we got home was wash hands. Not just a perfunctory wash, but a serious, get between the fingers with the soap wash. She also panicked about toilet seats. As a child, I was NEVER allowed to sit on a public toilet seat. I had to hold on to her hands and hover my bottom over the bowl, do the deed and get out of the cubicle asap. Hand washing in public toilets had to be super thorough.
My mother never talked to me about periods or sex, even when I discovered a used sanitary towel on the floor of the loo, either she or my sister, fifteen years my senior, had forgotten to dispose of. The offending article was described as a wound dressing.
My mother was kind and affectionate, patient, nervous, easily hurt, often sad after my father died and I never doubted her love for me. She wouldn't say much about her own childhood, but I knew her parents were immigrants, leaving Italy, their home country in the late eighteen hundreds, looking for a better life in London. The diaspora saw thousands of Italians leave a country ravaged by war and poverty, settling in the USA, the UK and Australia.
I knew my grandmother, her mother, had come from a good family and was born in a tiny village near Parma in the north of Italy. My grandfather lived in Paris, during the Belle Epoch, hobnobbing with the likes of the painter Toulouse Lautrec and generally living the high life. They met in London, married in 1899 and had five children, my mother being the eldest.
I don't think Mum had a particularly good relationship with her mother, who must have been pretty busy with five babies coming one after another. Miraculously for the time, they all survived, but my mother was sent back to Italy at the age of two, to be raised by her maternal grandparents for a couple of years. Perhaps that's why she said she didn't know what the word 'mother' meant?
There is so much I don't know about my mother. I was the youngest of her five children with an age gap of nineteen years between me and my elder brother, her firstborn. I know she suffered prejudice and ridicule after the second war. The Italians were persona non grata then, many incarcerated in camps in the UK during the war, others keeping a low profile, laughed at for their accents, their food, their customs. Before I was born, my father moved the family to the suburbs of London, hoping life would be more tolerable there, and it was. He became naturalised in 1935 and as he was what today would be described as a minor celebrity, leading his own jazz band in London venues such as The Cafe Royal and Quaglino's Restaurant, our neighbours tolerated us, and even, at times were willing to come to dinner and taste that strange food called spaghetti.
My mother refused to teach me to speak Italian properly. The language was spoken in private by her and my father, but English was the language we spoke in public. She wanted us to be English in thought, word and deed. I didn't visit Italy until I was 14. Now, I don't feel resentful about this, but there were times in my life when I did. I wanted to find my roots and tell people that I may have been born in England but my blood was Italian. Today, I love this country and wouldn't want to be anything else but British through and through. But I still feel a deep affinity for Italy and when I am there it feels like home.
My mother turned her back on Italy. The memories of her experiences too painful to acknowledge. She loved England and everything English. She was, at times critical of Italy, especially Mussolini. She hated the Fascists and it was the only time I heard her use speech that was vitriolic, when she talked about Il Duce. She loved Radio 4 and introduced me to the Afternoon Play as soon as I could listen quietly. She loved books, in particular poetry books leading her to scrape the money together to enable to me have elocution lessons for years, at least till I was sixteen. Those lessons gave me a love of literature and poetry and I'm eternally grateful to her for that.
My mother was an intelligent woman. The sort of woman who would have gone to university and obtained a first in Literature if she'd lived today. She used to tell me how her father would chastise her and one of her sisters for reading under the bedclothes by candle light, telling her books were rubbish and she would burn the house down and murder them all. She told me how important the written word was, how words were mightier than the sword. I have never forgotten that.
She had tough times and good times, like we all do as we travel through life. Towards the end, when she was in her nineties, living in her own small flat near London with her eldest son and his family keeping an eye on her, I would visit when I could. I was raising my own children and we lived almost three hundred miles away. As I reached the start of my own middle-age, I realised how much she meant to me, and that I hadn't always been the best of daughters. I hadn't seen her life, past and present, as real. I hadn't listened enough, understood just what her life had been like, hadn't appreciated her history, the experiences she'd had, the horrors and glories she'd lived through. I'd been too wrapped up in my own stuff, as all children are.
If I could turn the clock back, I'd have taken a forensic interest in my mother's life, examining it as a historian, for it merited that sort of attention.

Our View: Dahlkemper will show how to lead
In her new job as Erie County executive, Kathy Dahlkemper has the opportunity to become a visible, forceful leader who can help make sure that Erie's government and community leaders work together to improve our region and boost the economy.
We have confidence in Dahlkemper's ability to lead and collaborate because she's an astute observer of how government works -- or doesn't work. Some local voters said they voted against Dahlkemper because she supported health-care reform in her one term in Congress.
But during her campaign, Dahlkemper made it clear that Erie County government doesn't get mired in the partisan issues that divide Congress, such as gun control, abortion and same-sex marriage. Ned Smith, the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Erie County Council's 2nd District, made the same point. "I don't see any role of partisan politics on County Council," Smith told the Erie Times-News Editorial Board. "We're not arguing the hot-button issues," he said.
Dahlkemper said the county executive and County Council work on "more tangible ... less contentious" issues. Still, she has plenty to tackle. She will have to follow up on Destination Erie, to figure out how the long-range plan will go forward now that the lead consultants have been fired. She would like gambling funds to be used for "transformational projects," at a time when casino revenues are dropping. She will want to have a voice on the Inland Port project, development of the former GAF site, plans for workforce training, and the costs and operation of the 911 Center. She will also confront the challenge of state and federal budget cuts.
In Congress, Dahlkemper said she learned how to forge relationships by attending Thursday prayer breakfasts with members of both parties. Those informal get-togethers "opened a door to being able to work across the aisle, ... then you can have a conversation," she said. Working together is important in Erie, too. Erie County now will depend on Dahlkemper to lead the way.

Does every single Shonen manga author like Dragon Ball?
In the past, I've heard that authors including Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto), Yoshihiro Togashi (YuYu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter), Eichiro Oda (One Piece), Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin), Kentaro Yabuki (Black Cat), and Tite Kubo (Bleach), all liked Dragon Ball when they were younger. I guess this author can join the list.

I've never seen, read or heard anything about Fairy Tale--yes, I live under a rock. But why did my first reaction to the animated banner for this link make me say "What's Luffy and Nami doing there?"
Seriously. Why does it look like Fairy Tale aped One Piece on its character designs, going so far as to make near copies of certain characters?

Well, every kid read dragonball back in the day.
And would anyone who _didn't like it_ decide "I wanna grow up to be a Shounen Jump manga artist!"? I don't think so. So yeah, I'd probably venture a guess that nearly every Shounen manga author likes Dragonball.

Nah, it'll be mostly One Piece. Not only judging from Fairy Tail's character models, obviously based on that series, but out of how monumentally popular it is and has been for years.
I find that both a blessing and a curse. It does inspire several artists to start their own series, but their common source will make reading several different Shonen series a bit monotonous, what with being able to tell what storytelling devices they're using and abusing, which can prevent people from immersing deeply into their worlds.

Well, if you look at his previous series, Rave Master, the character models are pretty much identical to Fairy Tail's. I'm not saying that he isn't influenced by One Piece, mind you, but at least he's been consistent in his works.

I tried to read this series years ago and gave a chance to the first episode of the anime, but never got interested.
Now that it has become a somewhat trend, can anyone recommend it? How does this series deserve to be watched/read, when there are so many other shonen series out there and One Piece is the greatest of them all (IMO)?
I just want to know if I should give another try, no malicious intent here. And don't say that everyone should just try everything and decide afterwards; I don't have the time and this is the worst argument ever.

Hiro Mahima answered this question already himself:
"It all started with me copying and tracing their works, and then, before I realized it, I knew I was going to be a professional."
He was a big fan of Dragon Ball and copied its art style, the same as Oda. Therefore Oda's and Mashima's art style are similar because both imitated the art style of toriyama.
Mashima wasn't an assistant of Oda nor does he copy his style. Rave Master and One Piece started at the same time which I believe was 1997.
It strongly depends how much you like Shonen and what you like about OP. Fairy Tail is a typical Shonen. It shares many things and themes with OP which are typical Shonen like friendship etc. without ever having the "essence" which with your words makes OP the greatest Anime ever.
Mashima has a talent to really start out an arc good and interesting and then butchering it along the way. Another really annoying thing is that Natsu who isn't the strongest Guild Member always fights the strongest enemy's and wins with some kind of one time power up. This becomes the more ridiculous the longer the series goes on. If I would rate the series and would give OP a ten then I would give FT a 6. If you like shonen, can tolerate the things I just said and have time to waste then yes, you should check it out. It's nothing special but quite entertaining if you like shonen.
P.S.: The annoying Circles disappear also entirely as the series goes on. You could always read the Manga if you don't have time to watch the Anime.

Okay this is coming from someone who has read the first 20 or so-ish volumes of Fairy Tail, and considers One Piece one of her favorite Shonen Series ever. My general consensus on the story: Meh. (Note specifics about the story will be talked about, but hopefully in a way vague enough to not be spoil-ery.)
I actually was digging the series in a schlocky way until it started going into a certain character's back-story, around Volume 14 I believe, don't quote me on that. Then it became something of a chore to get through, you knew the cues it was going to hit, and in the end it felt accomplished in a "I just saw the big bad get punched to Kingdom Come, Yay" but not really satisfying. One of Fairy Tail's greater strengths, how short it sort of kept the arcs to a few volumes at most, got undone here, and the extra time really did it no favors. And it's kept that pacing ever since.
One of the reasons I got into the series, and was actually enjoying it for a while was the Guild aspect, something I hadn't seen done quite like that and I thought that would lead to some interesting story devices, and it does to an extent, but that gets put by the side in order for another random bad guy our main group has to go slap down. In one of the weirder ways I find I have a problem with this series is that the more developed the characters become after a while, the less interesting I found them. The back stories aren't just typical, but when you think about them in nature to the character, they loose some of their personalities.
The creativity I saw in early volumes revealed it's hand to not be very creative, or interesting, at all. And it was around volume 19, when there is a story set in a sort of mirror world of their own, that I became tired of the series as a whole. Because that should be an incredible story, but it feels like a slog.
I think that's going to be this series greatest failing, being compared to much to One Piece. On it's own Fairy Tail feels like a sort of fun shonen romp but it quickly shows it's paint-by-numbers nature, but you can probably still enjoy it a bit. But if you've read One Piece, especially the later arcs, Fairy Tail just becomes that much more disappointing. Because Fairy Tail desperately wants to be One Piece, and I'm not talking about the art here at all, but the story itself and way it's told. Fairy Tail wants to be this big self-built globe-spanning epic, and it wants to have the fun and creativity, but it falls short.
One Piece has an imagination about the whole of it, which grows with the story, the world-building keeps expanding in ways you never thought and it keeps becoming more and more epic. When you meet characters like the 7 Warlords you can feel what power they posses before they even use it because of all the people the Straw Hats had met up to that point. And this series makes you believe in the very cliché powers of friendship and other shonen tropes done a thousand times, but it feels real here.
Fairy Tail does have creative aspects to it, but when it starts trying to play on a bigger stage then the immediate vicinity of the Guild, the seems start showing by the dozen. The main problem is the way you can tell the story was not really that plotted out, beyond throwing in a few characters in early chapters to eventually start expanding upon 20 volumes later. The themes, even the friendship one, just feel artificial. In the end it just doesn't have the thought behind it to pull off what it wants to or be the story it wants to be.

Rave Master started in the 1999 issue 32 of Shonen Champion, making it about 2 years after One Piece, so there's every chance that Oda was an influence back then. And now, well if you are in that genre, he's going to be an influence by default due to the impact he has on the market.

But isn't there a big difference between being influenced by someone and aping their character designs?
The Fairy Tail character designs are more than a homage or a sign of being influenced by the successful, it's sheer plagiarism is what it is.

Well prepare to be thrown for a loop, as calling Dragon Ball "the base of shonen manga" is incorrect, as titles like Fist of the North Star, Kinnikuman, and Ring ni Kakero were doing the same things years before Dragon Ball broke away from its gag roots and started doing crazy action. In fact, Toriyama was doing gag manga Dr. Slump during each of those titles runs at some point (one of Ring ni Kakero's last chapters even has Arale's hat shown as a cameo), so Dragon Ball probably took from those titles when Toriyama had to make it more action-oriented.
You could argue that Dragon Ball maybe refined those elements into the way shonen action manga works now, but to say that Dragon Ball started it all is just plain wrong.

Actually, Rave: The Groove Adventure (as it's known in Japan; also called Groove Adventure Rave) appeared in Shonen Magazine, the same magazine Fairy Tail appears in now, although I can confirm that it did first appear in issue 32 in 1999.

Hospodar and Sewingrose: thanks for the answers.
So, basically, Fairy Tale is an usual shonen series, with a few good points, but lacking the strenght that makes One Piece stands out. Not enough to spike my interest.
Also interesting is the lack of die hard fans reading this. I'm sure there are a few out there, but why is no one defending how awesome this series is or how it's much better than OP? According to the encyclopedia, 143 people think this series is a masterpiece. Where are they?

And who's going to give it to him?

And who's going to give it to him?
• The lessons of this year's market
• Brian Burke keeps his promise
Throw in Umberger too.
I think Filatov can be a much better player than either Pouliot or AK46 and especially Sergei. Martin at his worst is not as bad with young players as Hitchcock. If Martin tries to play him on the fourth line, then he's an idiot. The Habs have plenty of capable third and fourth-liners. He'd be better off playing in Hamilton or in the KHL for another year.
I think given top-six minutes he'd put up a lot of points with Gomez and Gionta or Pleks and Cammalleri. I don't see how he can be considered a defensive liability. He's +3 in his career. He's not a can't miss prospect, there is some risk he doesn't fully realize his potential but I feel it's worth it considering he'd instantly become the most offensively gifted player the Habs have had in years.
Guimauve was just about as gracious to the Habs when he gave his post-trade interviews about how he suffered greatly in MTL and they didn't treat him right, please, he was never exiled to Hamilton no matter how lazily he played on the ice. He never used his talent when got ice time either, unmotivated and self-entitlement are not qualities that endeared him with his teammates anymore than Sergei did I bet.
We are well rid of both of them.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
no they're not..he's playing second striker…or support striker off the left…he rarely enters the midfield but stays between the mid and suarez.
it's more like a 4-4-1-1.
forland doesn't tackle back and he doesn't enter the defensive third ever.
schweinsteigger is playing just ahead of khadeira and behind ozil in a 5 man midfield, in a poking and prodding position that supports both flanks. he enters the defensive third.
another talented midfielder to take into consideration is wesley sneijder…who has been fantastic and outscored both aforementioned players.
p.s. fyi if forlan is listed as a 3rd string goalie, he's not allowed to play as an outfield player.
oh and he's a lot better too.
He's fully capable of making the Jackets of course, especially with their roster. But to me, this is way too close to the Sergei scenario, a guy who was benched for not taking defence seriously (Familiar?), with a coach who's not known for being the best with young players (familiar?) and didn't take well to only playing 5 minutes a game (familiar?).
We already have two serious question marks with Andrei and Pouliot to start the season, I like to think they'll get going again but trading Markov for a guy who's maybe going to be an impact NHL player is just too risky. If Markov is going to be moved, it's going to be for at least one established NHL player and a top prospect.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
Hammer was a good signing. He helped develop some of our young d-corps and without him early last year, we would never have made the playoffs. He wasn't at par at the end of the season.
In 2008-09, when he was out for a few weeks, you really saw a gaping hole.
I think players generate the revenue and (Gomez excepted) are generally not overpaid. Hammer was worth that contract so far. Next year, he might not be worth his pay, but we needed to make that offer to have him for the previous 3.
Sure =D
I wouldn't put him in Sergei's category. He didn't demand a trade, he didn't bad-mouth teammates. He's also three years younger and hasn't completely filled out yet. He will be at the Blue Jackets training camp, I think he'll make the team.
in this case no. sergei was in the dog house here and a cancer with his talk about management and players…
the way i see it is he doesn't and didn't have a place on this team after the pouliot trade. he's not a 3rd or 4th line guy so his talent was wasted here with 2 minutes of ice time a game.
not the habs because pouliot was a 4th overall pick and is big and has potential…….
Philosophical Question for the Day:
If a mentally soft player with an attitude as bad as Sergei's and the work ethic of Kovalev makes an impact on a bottom-dweller team, should anyone care?
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
here's the deal with Boogard – there are a ton of fans in New York who still go to the games to see their
"goon". even if he didn't fight often last year, having a guy like Boogard sells tickets in New York.
also, there's this "never back down" NY attitude, and when a team comes to play in NY, Sather has to be sure
that the fans' pride won't be hurt.
I hear what you're saying – but Sather knows his market; they've done the research.
Hopefully a first-round pick would come our way as well. From the interviews I've read I don't believe he's as much of a flight risk he's being portrayed as. I'd say he has close to the goal-scoring potential of Tavares but is a much better skater.
If Markov is going to be traded, the sooner the better, because the longer the Habs wait the lower the return will be.
They can have him listed 3rd reservist goaltender for all I care, they're PLAYING HIM midfield.
Keepin it real, I be chillin as
L.Bugs Potter, esq. Brotha to the Man with the Plan, Product-runnin Lead Houndogg with the Voodoo Flannel Posse, and Pimp Extraordinaire of Habsbros Mama Jones Snow Cones, muthafugga: http://habsbros.blogspot.com
So his being very talented, but non-physical and not taking playing 5 minutes a game well with a coach he can't get along with makes him different from Sergei how? He's not going to get along any better with JM than SK did I bet.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
Still listed as FW on Uruguay's national roster.
Decent contract for Lats and Minnie. If he outscores AK again, who will be looking foolish…again?
5M per for 2 years to Kovalev.
My favorite is some people find it amusing that Sather would pay a Tough Guy, 1.6M$ per season .. especially considering that Boogard only fought 9 times last season .. what kind of lousy GM would give a fighter that kind of money … especially one who never fights …
stand. pat.
He was playing 5 minutes per game. Not exactly the best way to develop a young player. I believe he had permission from Columbus to play the remainder of the year in the KHL as well.
No worries. Honest misinterpretation.
Keepin it real, I be chillin as
L.Bugs Potter, esq. Brotha to the Man with the Plan, Product-runnin Lead Houndogg with the Voodoo Flannel Posse, and Pimp Extraordinaire of Habsbros Mama Jones Snow Cones, muthafugga: http://habsbros.blogspot.com
that too ….i just find it amusing that we call a guy who turned down 100M$ .. greedy
We should try and not use the words balls, speedo, stretch and uncover in the same thread.
Yet, what position is he playing in this World Cup?
Forlan has been the best midfielder in this World Cup.

L.Bugs Potter, esq. Brotha to the Man with the Plan, Product-runnin Lead Houndogg with the Voodoo Flannel Posse, and Pimp Extraordinaire of Habsbros Mama Jones Snow Cones, muthafugga: http://habsbros.blogspot.com
Filatov has yet to prove anything in the NHL at this point and he's what I would call a serious flight risk to the KHL as it stands now, there's still no word whether or not he'll play for CLB next season. He may become a star but if Markov is on the trading block, the Habs can do a lot better than acquiring a guy who might never pull on the jersey for more than a season before going back to the KHL.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
I don't think that deal would go down. I know if I were a GM I'd take Nash over Markov any day of the week, and I'm a big fan of Markov.
Filatov went scampering back to Russia because he was benched a couple of times. it isn't even sure he's moving back to North America this summer.
Just what we need.
Oh you meant THAT Escobar was involved in the drug trade and not Pablo Escobar? I get it. Andreas Escobar Saldariga (or whatever). Sorry.
He didn't "get into a fight" though; an ex-bodyguard of Pablo's just straight up pumped 12 bullets in'm. Went to jail for it too. Somethin about gambling losses. All business. Pure assassination.

Ah sorry Bugsy, was scrolling through other posts and I remembered you saying something along the lines of "Schweinstieger has been a great midfielder so far but Forlan has been the best!"
Didn't notice you and the proper information reconciled themselves, mea culpa!
if we were trading Markov to Columbus, could we at least get Nash?
you would think that he would mask himself better.. but nope! straight to PG and BG being huge delinquents and how CP,SG suck and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah hi im tony!
I guess time will tell. If Filatov becomes the star most scouts thinks he will, then the trade is great from the Habs perspective. Markov's a UFA next year, maybe he could pull a Doug Weight and resign with us next year.
Forlan is listed as a FW/Striker anywhere you check online.
[Edit] Sigh, I'll bow out of this conversation too as I thought the argument was that Forlan was not a Striker, lol.
That's what I mean though — relative to those other UFAs, he's making more but also has far more to offer. Again, if Armstrong is worth $3M, Plekanec is easily worth $5M.
Like a bad smell, just won't go away…
XXIV…and counting
Maybe we should let PK get one NHL season under his belt before we declare he's ready to fill Markov's shoes.
id make that trade anyday
That trade is so messed up I'm just going to call it a Milbury and be done with it.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
I love how he tries to change his writing style, too. Hahahah
Agree with your statement wholeheartedly.
And I'll pretend I didn't see your PS as I know that in the meantime, you will have doublechecked your data.

Somebody tell Gauthier to hurry up and trade for Filatov. Columbus is in win-now mode. I'd even reluctantly trade Markov for him. Columbus gets their puck-moving D-man, Habs get young sniper with a low cap hit. Subban fills Markov shoes as OFD and either Weber or Carle make the team this year and help run the PP. Worst case scenario is the season's a disaster and the Habs draft Sean Couturier, the elusive French Canadian superstar to annoint their lord and saviour.
Sigh, here we go again…
chemistry with AK 46? not sure about that one.
chemistry with Cammy – agreed.
hes back!!!
thats a good contract, If Lats keeps up his stats thats a great deal with low risk since its only 2 years
Hate going backwards.
Clearly he fits in with a lot of the other Russian players in that he wants the big contract with a team that doesn't make the playoffs, or make a good run in the playoffs, because you only get paid for regular season (bonuses aside) and he DOESN'T CARE about winning a Cup. He can go to the KHL with all other Ruski's for all I care.
maybe he just really doesnt wanna play for the teams that have offered so far 😛
Kinda surprised no one is yappin' about the Latendresse contract in minny for 5M over 2 years…
also offered over 4 million to Komisarek last summer.
and, if I'm not mistaken, around 4 or 5 million to Kovalev.
Always liked Hammer. It's a shame guys like him and Gomez get dumped all over for the amount of money they make, as if anyone here would say no to a sather-esque contract to play a game?
Oh and PS Bugs Forlan is a striker not a midfielder…. Bastien all the way!
BG did offer him a 5yr 5M$ contract didnt he ?
They killed Andreas Escobar…
AT the time, he was the young star of the Columbian WC team that scored in his own net. Like you said, he went out to party one night soon after, got into a fight after some guys were bothering him about it, and bang.
That was it.
"These head movies make my eyes rain" -Simple Jack
i'm with you!
IMO, if kovy was greedy, he would've signed for 100M$ which he was offered. Maybe he's … negotiating …
Who ISN'T overpaid?
Josh Gorges
I couldn't tell you. I watched the Escobar doc on TSN and the other on HBO.
I tell you, the Magic and Bird one was excellent.

Who said the Devils were a winning team? Trap hockey nonstop doesn't always guaruntee a win. You could literally see the frustration mount in Kovalchuk, he was trying to do everything himself in the last few games.
Think Kovy + Ovechkin or Kovy + Crosby. The habs were a Kovalchuk away from a Stanely Cup. He needs to choose a team with goals and decent scorers.
Who ISN'T overpaid?
Which guy makin MILLIONS playing a game a lotta folk would do for free is UNDERPAID?
The Hamr is all that. Love the guy. Great veteran contribution. Excellent signing for the Habs. Proud to have him on the team.
Keepin it real, I be chillin as
L.Bugs Potter, esq. Brotha to the Man with the Plan, Product-runnin Lead Houndogg with the Voodoo Flannel Posse, and Pimp Extraordinaire of Habsbros Mama Jones Snow Cones, muthafugga: http://habsbros.blogspot.com
So, who do you think would pay him?
damn…i guess ovechkin sucks too…
Hamrlik is overpayed but he was and remains our best D-man with Markov out.
Beautiful story about Brian Burke and his family. Thanks for sharing, Boone.
I still don't understand why Kovalchuk wouldn't take a 1-2 year 5-6 mil contract and get himself a cup or two. Imagine if he joined the caps or pens (before large blueline signings)?
Instead he demands money that only a bottom dweller with no stars can afford. I'm sorry but this tells me he's greedy, not looking for a cup. If he's as good as he thinks he is a short term contract on a winning team would only INCREASE his value.
Escobar's "INVOLVEMENT" in the drug trade??? His involvement??? He was the KING. The LORD AND MASTER of the drug trade. Was more than "involved".
Until the Yanks shot him on the roof of his house and showed the corpse to his mommy, that is. "There's your son, ma'am."
We kinda figured the bad guys might be involved when they killed Saldariga (or whatever) after the own-goal took'em out of a tournament. '94 in the US of A unless I'm mistaken.
Done gone walked into a bar he was drinkin in and blew'm away, easy as you please.

Wow, BG was so dumb not to sign SS an often injured d-man to a $5,500,000.00 5 year contract , while the oilers were so smart. Guess Bob was right. just think, what that cap hit would have done right now. For $500,000 i'd sign him to a 1 year deal for the PP, if the mighty MAB does not return. Also PK will be around a long time however Weber, I don't believe is ready for prime time and may never be.
funny that you brought up Israel in conjunction with you support of liberty. should ask the palestinians how they feel about Israel's connection with the concept of liberty. 😛
I just checked quickly on the net, including ESPN.COM, for a complete box-set of all the ESPN Films made.
I couldn't find one though, they just sell them individually for 15$. I know I can DL them off the net straight onto my hard-drive, but do you know if they came out with collector box-sets or something?
"These head movies make my eyes rain" -Simple Jack
No problem. Had many of those. 😉

Miss me?
Aw come on, we didn't overpay — sure Pleks makes more money than guys like Prospal, Cullen and Jokinen, but that's because he has way more to offer. Would you trade him for any of them?
Pleks got 70 points last year, defended leads and killed every penalty. Aside from Marleau, who's earning $2M more than him, none of those guys did that. None of them even scored 60 points, and several didn't even manage 50. If a 3rd-line 29-point banger like Armstrong gets $3M, you don't think Plekanec is worth $5M?
slight correction – Zherdev was drafted 4th in 2003 – and played on the same team as AK46 CSKA Moskow.
I truly believe that the Habs were scouting Zherdev at a CSKA Moscow game, when they stumbled on AK 46.
they took AK46 # 10 in 2003 – notwithstanding his epilepsy, and the fact that he had missed most of his draft year injured.
its amazing how long NHL teams will wait for their # 1 picks to shine.
the scouts take a big hit when a #1 pick does not end up making an impact at the NHL level, a ton of
money, training resources, etc goes in to making sure these # 1's pan out.

Sept. 17: How Does Your Garden Grow?
What do the kitchen gardens of our founding father, Victory gardens of WWII and edible rooftops have in common? Good design of course. From soil to sun, how do plant needs, space, and aesthetics influence the design of a garden? Join a conversation with historic and modern garden designers on the past, present, and future of edible garden design and gather inspiration for your own unique space.
FOOD in the Garden 2014
In 2014, FOOD in the Garden commemorated the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore and celebrate the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired our national anthem, with the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and Smithsonian Gardens. FOOD in the Garden 2014 explored four maritime regions where battles were waged during the War of 1812: Long Island Sound, the Chesapeake Bay, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico. We looked back and looked forward at 200 years of connections between land and water, people and food as we enjoyed evenings of food, drinks, and dynamic conversation in a relaxed garden atmosphere.

2014 Topics
September 4, 2014
Human Impact: The Long Island Sound
In 1812, Long Island Sound, one of the nation's most historic estuaries, was a crossroads of trade and agriculture. Seeds from around the globe were brought to its shores and ships brought goods produced in the region out to the world. The area was, and continues to be, renowned for the abundance of goods it produces. From its many farms and wineries to its thriving seafood industry, Long Island Sound has become synonymous with the production of fresh, tasty food and drink. But what has been the human impact on the region in the past 200 years?
This program explored the relationship between Long Island Sound and the people that inhabit it, specifically focusing on how the fishing and agricultural industries have transformed the environment. We also explored how the area has changed since the War of 1812, and learned what new and exciting things are taking place to protect Long Island Sound while still producing amazing, regional food and drink.
Panelists: Cindy Lobel, Professor of History at Lehman College and author of Urban Appetites: Food and Culture in Nineteenth-Century New York; Stephanie Villani, co-owner of Blue Moon Fish, and Diana Whitsit of Terry Farms.

Cultural Connections: The Chesapeake
The Chesapeake Bay, described as "an immense protein factory" by Baltimore writer H.L. Mencken, long supported an abundance of oysters, crabs, clams, and many species of finfish. These productive waters along with the bay's extensive network of navigable tributaries shaped the region's foodways. Through trade, transportation, and communication the region's natural bounties were brought together with new people, foods, and flavors from around the globe, particularly Africa, the Caribbean, England, and Europe. How did these cultural connections come together in the Chesapeake region and how did they find expression in gardens, landscapes, communities, kitchens, and around the region's tables? This session explored the 1812 period as well as the long-term impact of these dynamic connections on the bay's marine environment and resources.
Panelists: Mollie Ridout, Director of Horticulture for Historic Annapolis Foundation; Psyche Williams-Forson, Associate Professor of American Studies at University of Maryland, and Denise Breitburg, marine ecologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.

Exotics and Invasives: The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes region was integral to the War of 1812, a front for several naval and land conflicts such as the assaults on Ft. Meigs and the Battle of Put-in-Bay. Once referred to as the Eden of the West, the Great Lakes region included hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness, rolling rivers, and dense forest encompassing modern day New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The region was home to the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Iroquois tribes, who valued the waterways as a means of life. With the increasing demand for elbow room, European-Americans began to extend their reach westward into relatively unfamiliar territory with the hope of thriving off of abundant, fertile land. With them came exotic and—in some cases—invasive species never before seen in the region such as apples, peaches, swine, and other fare that would come to define the region. How did the introductions of new plant and animal species affect the cultural foodways of the people who lived there and continue to live in the region today?
200 years later, this region is the cultural center of the Midwest with over 32 million people living along the lakes. Although early settlements have come and gone, many heirloom seeds native to this region have stood the test of time and there is an ever-present effort to preserve them, not only for consumption but for their cultural significant as well.
Panelists: Jodi Branton, National Museum of American Indian; Rick Finch, interim director of the Glenn Miller Birth Place Museum and former site manager of Fort Meigs: Ohio's War of 1812 Battleground ; and Tim Rose, geologist at the National Museum of Natural History and cider maker with Distillery Lane.

Marketplaces: New Orleans
New Orleans has always been a crossroads of people, ideas, and products. What was created out of this dynamic interplay of people and products at this global crossroads of New Orleans? At the heart of NOLA are the people, a very diverse population ranging from Native Americans, French, Spanish, Africans, and other subsequent waves of immigrants. Drawing from abundant natural marine resources, adding diverse foods from around the world through merchants and settlers, the NOLA population created one of the most unique and influential foodscapes in the world. The markets and new migrants continue to thrive and draw from the many unique cultural and natural resources of the area.
Panelists: Ashley Young, historian of food markets and street food culture in the 19th century; and David Guas, chef/owner of Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery in Arlington, VA [and coming Winter 2014 to Washington, DC] and host of American Grilled on Travel Channel.

HARRISBURG Gov. Corbett signed legislation Wednesday extending the state's health insurance program for children and eliminating a six-month waiting period before they can join.
The law extends through 2015 the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the two-decade-old effort that provides health insurance to all children who need it.
Under the law, $8 million from the 2013-14 budget will fund the addition of roughly 9,000 children to the program and pay for an advertising campaign to reach an estimated 145,000 uninsured children statewide.

Woman eager to learn to speak English
By ROBYN FOLLOWWILL
Globe-News Staff Writer
Carmen contacted the Roosevelt County Literacy Council in Portales, N.M., because she wants to learn to speak English.
She would like to be able to talk so people can understand. She came to the United States from Mexico to give her children a better life and a better education. But she finds it hard to do things like help her oldest child, who is 7, with homework, she said.
Carmen, which is not her real name, has been working with her tutor, Doris Encinias, for two or three weeks. Carmen already has noticed a difference.
She said, through a translator, that her tutor is helping her learn English quickly. One of the things she can do now that she couldn't do before is ask for assistance in the grocery store when she can't find something.
"She really, really tries and is really interested in learning. She does have children in the school system, and it just makes it easier for her to learn it," Encinias said.
The Golden Spread Literacy Fund was established by the Texas Panhandle Library System, the Amarillo Area Adult Literacy Council and the Amarillo Globe-News to help students like Carmen who want to learn to read and write.
Contributions can be sent to the Golden Spread Literacy Fund, P.O. Box 2091, Amarillo, Texas 79166.
Those who wish to enroll in a literacy program or donate their time as tutors can call the Amarillo Area Adult Literacy Council at 373-9009 or visit the Literacy House at 2219 S. Van Buren St.
In Portales, the Roosevelt County Literacy Council is located at 112 N. Boston and can be reached by calling (505) 356-8500.
Name: Doris Encinias
Age: 28
Residence: Portales, N.M.
Occupation: student/tutor coordinator, Vista volunteer
How long have you been a tutor?/How many students have you taught?: Started in '97. Somewhere near 30 students.
Why did you decide to become a tutor?: The joy of trying to help somebody else to speak English better and giving the opportunity to learn about different cultures and opportunities that are out there.
What was your greatest moment as a tutor?: When I taught a gentleman to write his name. It was overwhelming - an undescribable feeling.
What is the biggest challenge of tutoring?: That some students can be pigheaded.
What have you gained from the experience?: That it's really a great feeling to be able to help somebody else.
We'd love to hear your feedback. © 1998 Amarillo Globe-NewsWebmaster

i just went to see Copplia last thursday night for free!!(the tickets are $20-$55) and i get extera credit for school for going too. it was my first real ballet that i have been to. the dancers were good and costumes were Beautiful!!! but the bad thing was that i couldn't see one side of the stage because i was off to the side in the back of the balcony and of course that was the side that most everything happened at the first act was all the same thing and it was hard to follow the story. but it was pretty good any way.

Hi Danceon, thanks for telling us about the performance you attended! It must have been an exciting evening to attend a ballet performance for the first time... But could you tell us a bit more, for example which ballet company was it, in which theater/city did it take place, and what was the name of the choreographer? Also, were there some scenes that you especially liked?

A predictive model is required to be accurate and comprehensible in order to inspire confidence in a business setting. Both aspects have been assessed in a software effort estimation setting by previous studies. However, no univocal conclusion as to which technique is the most suited has been reached. This study addresses this issue by reporting on the results of a large scale benchmarking study. Different types of techniques are under consideration, including techniques inducing tree/rule-based models like M5 and CART, linear models such as various types of linear regression, nonlinear models (MARS, multilayered perceptron neural networks, radial basis function networks, and least squares support vector machines), and estimation techniques that do not explicitly induce a model (e.g., a case-based reasoning approach). Furthermore, the aspect of feature subset selection by using a generic backward input selection wrapper is investigated. The results are subjected to rigorous statistical testing and indicate that ordinary least squares regression in combination with a logarithmic transformation performs best. Another key finding is that by selecting a subset of highly predictive attributes such as project size, development, and environment related attributes, typically a significant increase in estimation accuracy can be obtained.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
I've been waiting for Jonathan Case's Dear Creature, about "an atomic sea mutant in the '60s whose poet soul is at odds with his tendency to eat people," since April. It's only a couple of weeks away now, but Case has found a new way to torture fans: by showing pictures from the play we'll never get to see that inspired his sea-monster love story.
Case not only wrote Sea Freak, he starred in it. He describes the experience of sewing his costume onto his own body to make sure it fit, then needing the director to sew the last few scales into place on his butt. The best part for me is that he had to make the costume waterproof. He doesn't say in the post, but since the play was performed on the beach, I imagine his entrance had to do with rising from the waves and shambling to shore. At least, I hope it did.
Check out Case's blog for more photos from the production. Dear Creature hits stores on Oct. 11.
The good folks at Portland's Periscope Studios are holding a fundraiser for Sparkplug publisher Dylan Williams, who is dealing with a serious illness. Several of the artists who work out of Periscope, including Jonathan Case (who painted the showdown between Thor and Galactus you see above), Steve Lieber and Colleen Coover, have contributed artwork to an auction to benefit Williams.
You can find all the available pieces on Periscope's eBay page.

Jonathan Case is understandably excited that his graphic novel, Dear Creature will be hitting shelves in October from Tor Books. I'm excited too and I've only just found out about it.
Case describes the book as about "an atomic sea mutant in the '60s whose poet soul is at odds with his tendency to eat people." You know, that old chestnut.
If you're like me and October seems awfully long off, you can tide yourself over with some sample pages at his website.
If you've been jonesin' for Don, Betty and the rest of the Mad Men gang during the long months between seasons– especially after seeing January Jones in the X-Men: First Class trailer — Periscope Studios has your virtual hook up. Last week was Mad Men week on their Tumblr blog, and they shared all sorts of inspired art — including the above piece by Jonathan Case, a faux ad for the infamous Red Rider BB Gun.
