This paper presents a novel mirror-tunable laser interference system for the wafer-scale patterning (>4-in.) of submicron grating structures with a flexible periodicity (200–1000 nm) in a compact and cost-effective manner. The proposed system guides and splits the laser beam into two expanded light beams propagating in a downward direction to be reflected by rotatable ultraviolet mirrors to produce interference patterns. The incident angle of two light beams can be controlled by rotating the mirrors until they match the targeted periodicity of the grating, without the need to reconfigure the optical paths. The fact that light polarization changes with the rotation angle of the mirrors necessitates the use of a half-wave plate along each optical path to adjust the direction of polarization perpendicular to the plane of incident light. The proposed system enables large-area fabrication and wide-range grating tunability, making it highly useful for applications that require wafer-scale patterning of submicron periodic structures, such as flexible wire-grid polarizers for displays, patterned sapphire substrates for light-emitting diodes, and Bragg gratings for distributed feedback lasers.
In this work, low-energy electron microscopy is employed to probe structural as well as electronic information in few-layer WSe2 on epitaxial graphene on SiC. The emergence of unoccupied states in the WSe2–graphene heterostructures is studied using spectroscopic low-energy electron reflectivity. Reflectivity minima corresponding to specific WSe2 states that are localized between the monolayers of each vertical heterostructure are shown to reveal the number of layers for each point on the surface. A theory for the origin of these states is developed and utilized to explain the experimentally observed featured in the WSe2 electron reflectivity. This method allows for unambiguous counting of WSe2 layers, and furthermore may be applied to other two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide materials.
The authors describe recent experimental efforts to perform polarization-resolved optical spectroscopy of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductors in very large pulsed magnetic fields to 65 T. The experimental setup and technical challenges are discussed in detail, and temperature-dependent magnetoreflection spectra from atomically thin tungsten disulphide are presented. The data clearly reveal not only the valley Zeeman effect in these two-dimensional semiconductors but also the small quadratic excitondiamagnetic shift from which the very small exciton size can be directly inferred. Finally, the authors present model calculations that demonstrate how the measured diamagnetic shifts can be used to constrain estimates of the exciton

Giving kids a taste of Kenya
Published: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 16, 2007 at 11:33 p.m.
HOUMA -- Children can experience Kenya this weekend in a way true to local hearts -- through food.
A booth featuring the African country will be among the 24 booths filling the Courthouse Square in Houma Saturday as part of the third-annual "CASA for Kidz Spring Fest: A World of Fun." The event, set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., raises money for the nonprofit group Court Appointed Special Advocates of Terrebone. The group, known as CASA, uses volunteers to give abused, neglected or abandoned children a voice in the court system.
Most of the festival booths offer fun activities related to the culture of a particular country, such as decorating boomerangs at Australia.
But at Tina Grangers Kenyan booth, children and families not only enjoy making a colorful bracelet, but can sample African dishes.
The Houma woman said she loves serving up a trio of Kenyan specialties, including ugali, banana frittatas and the Kenyan version of hush puppies.
Granger said she learned how to make and eat ugali from friends who spent more than 40 years as missionaries in Kenya. The dish consists of a boiled white cornmeal rolled into balls and dipped into a chicken stew. Kenyans eat ugali with their right hands, or "clean hands," because everyone eats from a common dish, Granger said.
Granger learned to make the other two dishes from an African cookbook. She "Cajunizes" the banana frittatas, fried mashed bananas, by sprinkling them with powdered sugar instead of honey. She also serves Kenyan-style hush puppies made of fried corn, okra and cheese. "Its delicious," she said.
Festival-goers loved the chicken stew and devoured every scrap of the banana frittatas and hush puppies last year, she said.
Granger uses the food to teach children about the Kenyan culture, such as how to eat ugali and that its a symbol of trust to eat a meal in someones home. The children also learn to explore new foods, she said.
This year, Granger said shes adding a game that mimics how African children practice hunting with blow-dart guns. Instead of dart guns, children will use their mouths to shoot field peas through a straw to win prizes.
Granger has volunteered as an advocate for CASA for two years and said she enjoys seeing the impact she makes.
"I like the difference it makes in childrens lives," she said.

E3 2013: 4J Studios Working on Save Sharing Between Xbox 360 and Xbox One Versions of Minecraft
Written Thursday, June 13, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Xbox One Edition developer 4J Studios is working on a way to share saves between the two versions of the game.
Should 4J be successful it will mean that the worlds you and your friends have created on Xbox 360 should be accessible when, and if, you upgrade to the Xbox One version of multi-million selling title.
Beyond this, 4J has also said that it intends to continue to update the Xbox 360 version of the game after the Xbox One version's release, promising continual updates for both platforms.
Announced during Microsoft's E3 press conference earlier in the week, the Minecraft: Xbox One Edition promises "larger maps for bigger adventures, expanded multiplayer features, and feature enhancements."

- Citing concerns about margin pressure, Pac Crest has downgraded Perfect World (NASDAQ:PWRD) to Sector Perform in the wake of the company's Q3 report.
- Perfect World reported an 880 bps Y/Y drop in gross margin on Tuesday, and a 33% increase in opex (above revenue growth of 17%). On the CC (transcript), CFO Kelvin Lau noted Perfect World's gross margin for mobile games is typically lower than that for PC games due to revenue-sharing agreements."I think the trend is to give away 30% to 40%, less than 50% of the revenue sharing."
Nov. 25, 2014, 7:05 PM
- Perfect World (NASDAQ:PWRD) expects Q4 revenue of RMB1.023B-RMB1.072B ($166.6M-$174.6M), in-line with a $171.9M consensus.
- Thanks to the strong performance of mobile games such as CrossGate Mobile and Forsaken World, online game revenue rose 23% Y/Y to $149.8M. However, average concurrent users for PC games fell to 623K from 778K. Licensing revenue fell 1% to $6.3M.
- Gross margin fell to 69% from 73.1% in Q2 and 77.8% a year ago. Opex rose 33% Y/Y (exceeding revenue growth of 17%) to $113.3M.
- Q3 results, PR

- Morgan Stanley has upgraded Perfect World (PWRD +1.6%) to Overweight ahead of this afternoon's Q2 report. Shares have ticked higher in response.
- The Chinese game developer is trading near a 5-month high. It's still 13% below a 52-week high of $26.25.
May 19, 2014, 5:58 PM
- Perfect World (PWRD) expects Q2 revenue of RMB891M-RMB936M ($142.7M-$150M) vs. a $148.2M consensus.
- Revenue rose 42.5% Y/Y in Q1, but also fell 2.5% Q/Q, thanks in part to lower promotional spend for MMORPG titles. Average concurrent PC users fell 18% Q/Q to 662K, something attributed to anti-cheating efforts and seasonality. Mobile gaming growth partly offset the decline.
- Gross margin fell to 73.6% from 75.1% in Q4 and 77.8% a year ago. Opex rose 41% Y/Y to $77M.
- PWRD +0.3% AH. Q1 results, PR.
May 19, 2014, 5:06 PM
- Perfect World (PWRD): Q1 EPS of $0.70 beats by $0.14.

- Over the last 48 hours, Baidu, Dangdang, Youku, and 58.com have all posted Q4 beats and provided strong Q1 guidance. The numbers are giving a lift to a slew of Chinese Internet stocks.
- Notable gainers: SOHU +6.5%. PWRD +13.2%. VIPS +4.3%. YY +2.2%. RENN +3.8%. GOMO +5.5%.
- In Sohu's case, the rumor mill might also be helping out. A source tells Marbridge Consulting Sohu CEO Charles Zhang and Tencent (TCEHY +1.2%) CEO Pony Ma have talked about merging their companies' online video units. Both Sohu and Tencent trail market leaders Youku and Baidu in China's burgeoning online video market.
- Dangdang (DANG +8.6%) is adding to yesterday's big post-earnings gains after Oppenheimer hiked its PT to $15. The firm likes Dangdang's improved efficiency and partnerships with e-commerce rivals (inc. Alibaba's Tmall), and the fact mobile accounted for 13% of Q4 orders.
Jan. 23, 2014, 9:59 AM
- SEC administrative law judge Cameron Elliot has barred the Chinese units of the Big-4 accounting firms - KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, and Ernst & Young - from auditing U.S.-listed companies for six months.
- Elliot declares the accounting firms "willfully" chose to withhold audit work papers from U.S. regulators for Chinese companies being investigated for accounted fraud. The firms have been worried about violating Chinese privacy laws by turning over the papers, and have argued the dispute needs to be resolved politically.
- Though the firms plan to appeal and say they can continue serving Chinese clients for now, shares of Chinese Web and solar names aren't handling the news well. Soft Chinese PMI data could be worsening matters.
- Chinese Web decliners: BIDU -2.5%. SOHU -3.2%. DANG -8.9%. SFUN -8.5%. PWRD -8.5%. QUNR -7.1%. LITB -6.5%. YY -6.1%. WUBA -6%. BITA -5.4%. EJ -5.9%. SINA -4.6%. LITB -6.5%. CTRP -5.4%. NQ -7.1%.
- Chinese solar decliners: TSL -8.7%. JASO -6.9%. SOL -6.3%. JKS -5.6%. CSIQ -5.4%. DQ -4.6%. YGE -5.6%. CSUN -6.2%. HSOL -7.8%.
- Qihoo (QIHU -4.6%) has joined the selloff in spite of a BrightWire report stating Alibaba (ABABA) has reached a deal to acquire a stake in the company. Marbridge Consulting reported two weeks ago Qihoo and Alibaba were in talks about a possible investment.
Jan. 8, 2014, 11:54 AM
- Alibaba (ABABA), whose ambitions have been steadily expanding beyond e-commerce, plans to launch a mobile gaming platform for 3rd-party titles.
- The service will be aimed squarely at Chinese online/mobile gaming leader Tencent (TCEHY), and will give developers a hefty 70% cut. Alibaba also plans to integrate the service with its Laiwang messaging app (competes with Tencent's dominant WeChat) and the mobile app for its Taobao e-commerce platform.
- In addition to Tencent, Alibaba will be taking on a slew of other mobile game distributors, including NQ Mobile's (NQ +1.7%) FL Mobile unit.
- Chinese game developer Perfect World (PWRD +10.1%) has skyrocketed in morning trading. Peers Changyou (CYOU +4.1%) and NetEase (NTES +3.5%) are also up sharply.
- Also: Alibaba's Alipay online payments unit has struck a deal with Sina (SINA +1.5%) to allow Weibo users to make online and offline payments via Alipay. Sina investors have been expecting the company's partnership with Alibaba (bought an 18% stake last year) to yield service launches that would improve Weibo monetization.
Dec. 27, 2013, 1:21 PM
- Making good on a November Marbridge Consulting report, Baidu (BIDU +4.1%) has reached a deal to acquire Perfect World's (PWRD +1.8%) Huanxiang Zongheng online literature business (provides Chinese e-books, digital comics, and animations) for RMB191.5M ($31.5M). (PR)
- Marbridge previously noted Zongheng offers 100K+ e-book titles, receives 60M+ daily page views, and gets over 1/3 of its site traffic via mobile.
- The purchase is the latest in a string of 2013 acquisitions by Baidu, as the Chinese search giant attempts to create a far-reaching empire of Web/mobile content and services. Prior acquisitions: PPS, 91 Wireless, Nuomi.
- Perfect World says the deal will allow it to focus on its core online gaming business. The company has been investing heavily in both developing new games and promoting existing ones.
Nov. 25, 2013, 6:39 PM
- Perfect World (PWRD) expects Q4 revenue of RMB850M-892M ($139.6M-$146.5M), above a consensus of $137.3M.
- The company attributes its Q3 beat to the strong performance of new titles, including Swordsman Online and Saint Seiya Online. Average concurrent users for Chinese games rose to 778K from 742K in Q2 and 601K in the year-ago period.
- Going forward, Perfect World is counting on the launch of DOTA2, as well as a Chinese version of U.S./European title Neverwinter, to maintain its momentum.
- Sales/marketing spend rose 10% Q/Q and 21% Y/Y to $34.9M. The Y/Y rate is well below the 102% clip Perfect World reported for Q2, much to the concern of investors. R&D spend rose 19% Q/Q and 20% Y/Y to $38.8M. Gross margin was76.7%, up from 75.5% in Q2 but down from 81.5% a year ago.
- PWRD +8.4% AH. Q3 results, PR.

Mr Blair, 55, was last seen on March 8 when he launched his
nine-metre aluminium boat Erie in the Marlborough Sounds.
His boat was discovered around 200km off the coast of
Taranaki by a Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion on Friday
Attempts to secure it and bring it to shore have been
hindered by stormy weather and heavy seas, but authorities
managed to board the vessel overnight.
Mr Blair was not on board, and police said there was no
immediate indication on what happened to him.
Police officers onboard the Navy vessel HMNZS Wellington
battled 10-metre swells to board the Erie.
The naval vessel will now attempt to tow Mr Blair's boat to
New Plymouth.
Because of rough sea, it was not expected to arrive today,
police said.
"Once the Erie is back in port a detailed examination will be
made to try and find some indication as to what has happened
to Mr Blair," police said.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

ZAGG Origin 2-in-1 Bluetooth Speaker System
Company: ZAGG
Price: $249.99 USD
The days of the highly expensive component stereo systems are gone. No more turntables, tape players, CD players, tuners and amplifiers. (although I still have my complete system) The influx of Bluetooth capable speakers, headphones and everyday items has been steadily increasing over the past few years as users demand more from the items that they purchase and utilize everyday. One shouldn't be surprised when that capability has been translated into speaker systems that provide portability and ease of use. ZAGG's latest item, the Origin 2-in-1 Bluetooth Speaker System, provides the user with both in a well designed product that provides both in a unique way.

With the dramatic increases in technology and the portability of the devices that we have come to depend upon in our daily lives, logic dictates that the capability to listen to music or to have a telephone conversation would also have to improve. Bluetooth headphones have quickly become a necessity for users as they don't wish to be "tied" physically to their devices.

ZAGGkey PROfolio_ Keyboard Case
Company: Zagg
Price: $129.99
This review, was written on the Zagg Keys Profolio+
Let me start by saying that I am usually against these keyboard cases. In my mind and in Apples the iPad is the first post PC computer. Post PC means that having a keyboard and mouse attached to your device is no longer a must. When you put your iPad into a keyboard case like this, you are not using the most elegant solution. Not to mention these things usually have a cheap keyboard parts that really don't work well. Lets see if Zagg can change this.
Zagg Sparq
Company: Zagg, Inc.
Price: $69.99
Man, if only I could get my iPhone to last just a couple of hours more. There are cases for iPhone and other smartphones that will keep your devices lasting much longer than they usually do. But, if you're like me you usually carry more than one device that could use a little more juice to get you through the day. For example in my bag I've got two phones, a kindle, an iPad, PS Vita, and Bluetooth headphones. All these things need power, and while some of them are less crucial to getting through the day, it would be nice to have everything powered. Enter the Zagg Sparq.
I've been a huge fan of Zagg for a while. The only protection I keep on my iPhone and iPad is the Zagg Invisible Shield on front and back. I've always been really happy with them, so I was not hesitant to pick up another product from the company. The model I purchased is the 6000 mAh version. It is their top of the line battery pack claiming 4 iPhone charges before you'd have to recharge it. They also offer a 1220 mAh and 3100mAh version that will give you 1 and 2 charges respectively. I went for top of the line mainly because this is the only one that has two USB ports and has the ability to charge the iPad and iPhone at the same time. Which is a huge plus for someone who travels as much as I do.

invisibleSHIELD for MacBook Pro full body version
Company: Zagg, Inc.
After my laudatory review of the BodyGuardz protective film for iPhone, the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs received an email requesting a review from a competing film manufacturer, Zagg, Inc. requesting a MyMac.com evaluation of their invisibleSHIELD film product. I was curious to see what other film products were like, so a MacBook Pro 15″ full body kit was shipped posthaste to our Tucson laboratory.
At first glance, the invisibleSHIELD film appears similar to the BodyGuardz film, but at 2 millimeters thick, it's thicker than the iPhone BodyGuardz film.
Zagg says that invisibleSHIELD is made of the same anti-erosion plastic that's used to protect helicopter blades and the leading edges of propellors. Be that as it may, my first impression was that it looks and feels very strong. Zagg has videos of the material being tortured on their Web site.

Current Issue
What is HIM?
The world of health information management is far reaching--so far, in fact, that the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) offers up a whole table on what HIM in professionals do and the various career paths there are in the field. We like AHIMA's abridged version:
"Health information management improves the quality of health care by insuring that the best information is available to make any health care decision. Health information management professionals manage health care data and information resources. The profession encompasses services in planning, collecting, aggregating, analyzing, and disseminating individual patient and aggregate clinical data. It serves the health care industry including: patient care organizations, payers, research and policy agencies, and other health care-related industries."
Many occupations fall under the realm of HIM. HIM professionals include coders, medical transcriptionists, cancer registrars, HIM directors, compliance officers, health data analysts, HIM system managers, directors of quality management, health information technologists and myriad other titles that run the gamut through HIM.
Where do HIM professionals work?
You can find HIM professionals anywhere from quiet home offices to bustling hospital HIM departments. They may work at government agencies or professional associations, and can be found throughout the health care system.
How much do HIM professionals earn?
You can check out the ADVANCE Salary Survey for 2013 to get a feel for what you'd make if you entered the HIM profession. The average salary of a full-time coder came in at $46,541 in 2008, while the average pay of a full-time MT was $32,792. Our survey showed that HIM directors made an average of $73,875, while cancer registrars grossed an average of $44,018.
Where can I find schools to become an HIM professional?
You can visit our Find a School page. The professional associations in HIM have accredited schools that they recommend. To see schools accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), visit the CAHIIM directory at http://www.cahiim.org/accredpgms.asp. AHIMA and the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) teamed up to form the Approval Committee for Certificate Programs (ACCP) to certify medical transcription education programs. You can see a list of ACCP-approved programs at http://www.ahima.org/careers/codingprograms. The National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA) also has a list of approved schools for future cancer registrars. You can find that list at http://www.ncra-usa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3914.
Where can I find more information about HIM?
Peruse our pages here at ADVANCE, and be sure to visit the archives and search for areas that interest you. You might also want to stop by the pages of professional associations in HIM. Here's a list:
Also, ADVANCE assembled a document of recommended reading for new HIM professionals. Feel free to post further questions in our forums, http://community.advanceweb.com/forums/14/ShowForum.aspx, where you can get answers from HIM professionals working in the field.

Book Publishing Specialists
About Wheatmark ... Book Publishing Company
Wheatmark, Inc., was founded in 1999 by Sam Henrie, a publishing entrepreneur who believed that what makes a book successful is not who publishes it, but rather:
- Quality content
- Access to the "apparatus" of publishing, and
- Savvy marketing
Sam's goal was to provide independent authors with a viable alternative to the traditional publishing route. His solution: combine digital printing technologies and Internet-based distribution channels with the talents and expertise of experienced publishing professionals, thus providing a trade-quality publishing experience to independent authors at a fraction of the time, effort, and money they'd spend doing it entirely on their own.
To date we have published more than 1,400 titles. And thanks to our highly personalized service and unparalleled professionalism, we're proud to say that the majority of our business comes from referrals and satisfied Wheatmark authors who return to publish their second or third (and sometimes more) books with us!
Who Is Wheatmark?

A frequent speaker and writer on the subjects of book marketing, book publicity, and independent publishing, Sam's expertise includes new directions in production, distribution, publicity, and marketing in the world of book publishing. Sam is past president of the Arizona Book Publishing Association.

A group of eight Spanish lidars was formed in order to extend the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network-Advanced Sustainable Observation System (EARLINET-ASOS) project. This study presents intercomparisons at the hardware and software levels. Results of the system intercomparisons are based on range-square-corrected signals in cases where the lidars viewed the same atmospheres. Comparisons were also made for aerosol backscatter coefficients at 1064 nm (2 systems) and 532 nm (all systems), and for extinction coefficients at 532 nm (2 systems). In total, three field campaigns were carried out between 2006 and 2007. Comparisons were limited to the highest layer found before the free troposphere, i.e., either the atmospheric boundary layer or the aerosol layer just above it. Some groups did not pass the quality assurance criterion on the first attempt. Following modification and improvement to these systems, all systems met the quality criterion. The backscatter algorithm intercomparison consisted of processing lidar signal profiles simulated for two types of atmospheric conditions. Three stages with increasing knowledge of the input parameters were considered. The results showed that all algorithms work well when all inputs are known. They also showed the necessity to perform, when possible, additional measurements to attain better estimation of the lidar ratio, which is the most critical unknown in the elastic lidar inversion.

Hm, yes, I suspect it has to do with the PWM, but why would the PWM only affect the board when the interrupts are enabled?
Also, wouldn't I need to tie the grounds together between the motor control board and the uC?

For generations, PTAs and other school groups have conducted bake sales to raise money for programs and events not covered by taxpayer dollars.
While the baked goods themselves have been replaced by other items, including mattresses, the fundraising efforts have continued. In fact, they are on the rise.
Now, in the wake of a struggling economy and property tax caps, the need for fundraising by government units has expanded.

I guess I'll start off this thread . . .
Chichiri and I are looking for some good (preferably unique and not too long of a length) shounen/seinen series to check out for the club.
We are up for almost any genre = )

Hmmm... I don't know all that much about shounen/seinen titles, but I can make a recommendation -
Short Program - By Mitsuru Adachi
Pygmalio - The series seems to be a shounen manga stuck in a shojo manga body.
Oh that's great! I think that anything by Mitsuru Adachi qualifies as a shounen, so yeah, thanks for the recommendation!
And even though Pygmalio is a shoujo, if it feels like a shounen, then that's fine as well. We're just looking for something different than the shoujo that we usually read = )
MitsukoOtsuki said:
I have a question from my friend and I:
We are looking for a series that we can read together (we both read the chapter and discuss it) that is currently coming out in scanlations. It has to be a series that has just or just recently been scanlated, we don't want to try to catch up with a series that is already on chapter 30. We prefer it to be a shojo series, but perferebly not an extremely smutty one. (some smut would be fine, but if each chapter ends with the main characters in bed, we might end up dropping it) If it has supernatural elements in it that would be great. And one more requirement, lol, we don't want it to be by a big name author (Yuu Watase, Shinjo Mayu, CLAMP, etc.) so it doesn't have a high chance of being liscensed. (We don't read series once they are liscensed in our country) I know this is asking a lot, but really any recommendation would be fine. Even if you don't think it fits the criteria, it's ok, recommend it to us anyway.
I haven't read any of these so I can't guarantee that they'd be any good or not but just thought you might be interested in trying any of these out:
- Savage Garden
- [zion]
Oh and I agree with Chichiri. If you read any manhwa, they're pretty much unknowns. Though I admit there aren't too many manhwa that I'd highly recommend (my favorite manhwa is Bride of the Water God and that's licensed).

Chocolate Cosmos- Sakurai Sayuki was born with sharp eyes that make her look like she's always angry, even though she's not. Because of her looks, students around her misunderstand her as a bully and scary girl when in fact she's "a romantic". After 15 years without a boyfriend, she started off her high school year with hopes of love...
Kiss/Hug- Ryuu, a super-business-like transfer student from England with black hair and blue eyes just arrived! During the night of the Tanabata festival, Ryuu and Yukino became attracted to each other at first sight. He then declares, "You will be mine!" This brought confusion to Yukino, who has zero experience in love. But could she actually be falling in love? *fairly smutty*
Otona Pink- Sensei, please teach me about love.
Senou Miku is a normal high school girl. On the day that she had her first boyfriend, her mother had a job transfer. And then, her guardian, who came to live with her, turned out to be her homeroom teacher, Nishizono-sensei...
Promise- Yurim Han has just been accepted to the exclusive Yusung High School, known for its high standards. Expecting that, she is still shocked by the level of excellence. Every student around her is a freakishly gifted genius! It's high school life on cognitive enhancement drugs. Can Yurim survive in such an environment?
Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri- After the death of her parents, Himura Ryou is taken in by grandparents and starts to attend the super elite high school, Souseikan Gakuen. Ryou gets lost within the school's spacious area and it leads her to a guy wearing tuxedo. He is Kanzawa Hakuou who attends the butler training course [B (Butler) Class] knowing that Ryou is...?!
Yuki no Kuni Kara- In order to be able to get into the University of her choice with a hundred percent passing rate, Fujino Yuki went into Private Suidou All-Girl Academy, a high school that boasts about the students' marvelous achievements. Yet, there's a secret to the school's excellent results- good looking guys as their teachers! Without knowing about the secret and only having a pure intention of going into that high school, what would happen to Yuki's fate…?!

chichiriNoDa said:Thank you so much for the recommendations!!!! I'll send all the series to my friend so we can pick one (or two, XD) that look interesting.
If youre looking for a nice shoujo title that isn't from big mangaka, isn't liscense, recently scanlated I think you want to check out a Manhwa called Sad Love Song.. But I can't seem to find it on mangafox.com. I forgot where I read the series I plan to check out new scans but I can't find it...

@MitsukoOtsuki: Maybe you can post an update later . . . like let us know how you and your friend liked any of the series, etc.
My request: I just recently got into Banana Fish (thanks to the first two volumes given to me by Chichiri). Can someone please recommend me something similar? Like storylines about police, crime, murder mysteries, that kind of stuff. It doesn't matter what genre, as long as it kinda meets those requirements.

Since you like romance that doesn't have smut, ecchi stuff like that I highly recommend you check out Kimi ni Todoke, Lovely Complex, Shinobi Life, Wild Ones and Penguin Brothers. Check Kimi ni Todoke most of all.

I'll definitaly make sure to post an update on which series we'll choose to read. (It might be a week or so before this happens, my friend and I don't see each other much online, but I'll make sure to pass the information on to her A.S.A.P.)

Ah! I LOVE Banana Fish, XD. (I think what hooked me was the Hemmingway reference in volume 7 (?)) But anyway, another series that is very similar to Banana Fish is Let Dai(I'll admit I haven't read it, but I've heard TONS of people compare it to B.F.) it's a Korean manwha and it follows a similar plot line. It's suposively more violent that B.F. (In B.F. events are hinted at, but in Let Dai, they are actually shown) The art is more shojo-y, so it looks a bit different.
The only other series I can think of that are like B.F. are some of Yoshida's other stories. (Particularly Yasha)

my turn :)
i want a shojo manga a little long but not really long. more than 30-40 chapters is pushing it for me because lately if i read a manga too much i find it gets depressing of filled with drama then put it on hold lol. i suppose if it doesn't have to much drama but is more comedy i would be able to read a long one. obviously it needs to be funny as well but like i said i really don't enjoy mangas with a lot of drama so a simple love would be best... i can't think of anything else lol...
thanks :D
Ultra Maniac
The drama is minimal. It's pretty short with only 25 chapters. I found it quite funny, and everyone gets someone, so it has a happy ending. It is a mahou shoujo (just letting you know), but the focus is on relationships and Nina's magic is just there to provide laughs (most of the time...). This is the only thing I could find that fits your requirements right now. Hope that helps :)

I also second Ultra Maniac. It's a nice, fun, light-hearted series with just the right amount of drama. This was the series that got me into the mangaka Wataru Yoshizumi.
Maybe you could post your thoughts on this series later?
Darkfater said:
I can highly recommend you people Lament of the Lamb from Kei Toume. It's relatively unknown, there was an anime adaptation as well, which was watchable, but it had one really good point. The ED song is one of the best anime songs i've ever heard. :) The manga is heaps better than the anime, which is often the case with lots of series ofc.
I have added your recommendation to the manga relations. Thanks! I will also keep this series in mind = )

Hello, I am looking for a manga like Kyuuso wa Chiizu no Yume wo Miru, it is a yaoi with a great story, the best I have read so far. So I am looking for something like that, a developing relationship with deep and really beautifully described feeling, interesting characters and almost no stereotype on it..:D.( btw I am already reading the sequel and it seems to be better), it doesn't have to be yaoi, but please it has to be a mature romance and I really don't like silly girl characters..
Also I would like to find a mangaka that has a similar art style to Suzuki Tsuta's, and a similar feeling in stories..especially the first story from this one Sangen tonari no tooi hito

Kyuuso is pretty unique and hard to beat. :> I'd still rec the Antique Bakery djs like I did before if someone decides to translate the latter ones. But that made me think of another.
Ichigenme has a developing relationship that spans years and changes over that time. I'm not sure if it is as "beautifully described" because the character personalities (while not bad) don't really jive with that. The two characters face some problems similar to that in Kyuuso.
Kinou Nani Tabeta I think it's a great relationship because it's pretty darn normal.. not easy to find with gay characters in manga. They are together from the start, so not as much in development.
Two fantasy, adventure stories with cute, developing relationships that are beautiful in their own ways: Silver Diamond and Asterisk.

Ok, thanks, I added some of those to my list..
Siver Diamond...I have been wanting to read it, but since it is licensed I think I will buy it..when I can..it is difficult here to find manga that is not mainstream..and the dollar problem is just annyoing..but let's forget about that. I will do it in the future :D
Actually Queen2408, I'm not sure, but would this website work for you? (Maybe you've read it by now...) lol

I *love* Basara and Skip Beat! But what I like most about them is that I really feel like there's more to them. They are both deep and meaningful, rather then just looking up any story with a similar idea. I like Josei and Shojo, though I don't really like mature or adult mangas. I also like romance A LOT, but romance where the girl and the guy need time to develop the relationship. I hate romances where they get together too quickly or easily. I'm a very character driven reader, if I'm into the characters, I have a ton of fun.
Doesn't have to be, but I prefer long completed stories, but anything is welcome as far as that's concerned. >.< Please help me find something new!

You comment reminds me of the first part of Enchanted where they fall in love in all of two seconds, it's hilarious ("We shall be married in the morning!")
Anyway, to answer your question, Please Save My Earth might be up your alley, it's a long complicated sci-fi shojo, romance does take a back seat compared to other shojo I've read, but it's still quite noticeable. It's a wonder it hasn't been featured yet actually, it's quite popular in the club, but it got pushed back due to lots of other sci-fi-ish shojo being featured at the time.
If you're in the mood for a movie, consider They Were 11, which is part of the manga Four Shojo Stories.
I'll admit though, my forte is more in the seinen/shonen/other category, but I'm expanding :)

My favourite mangaka is NAOKI URASAWA. Anything and Everything by him is worth the read. 20th Century Boys and Pluto are THE masterpieces in science fiction manga.
20th Century Boys - Kenji and his friends notice a series of odd occurences which they find leads back to their childhood games. A newly formed cult called 'friend' seems to have something to do with all this. Set in three separate times and by fluidly switching between them (which is an awesome story element) he weaves a tale of intrigue, mystery and a dystopian future.
PLUTO - A side-story within the confines of Osamu Tezuka's world of Astroboy. Pluto follows the Europol detective Gesicht as he tries to uncover the mystery behind a string of robot and human deaths. The case becomes much more puzzling when evidence leans toward the murders being the work of a robot, which is something that hasn't happened for 8 years. By combining elements of War, detective work and robo-prejudice and subtle nods to 'Silence of the lambs' and such, Urasawa tells a brilliant tale, making Atomu's world just the right amount of gritty.
Another brilliant one to check out from Urasawa is Monster. It has a very complex storyline to it but one of the best written mangas ever. And also its nice to see a manga with a competent hero, a competent villain and a very-competent policeman.
I'd venture a guess that most people have read these three but they are just that good. A rather less known manga i know and liked would be,
Onani master Kurosawa - "Onani" means masturbation. And that's what this guy is good at. Every day after school, he sneaks into the mostly unused girls bathroom on the 3rd floor, and masturbates. Until one day when he's caught... One gets the feel of a rather smutty story but it features little or no Smut but rather it is a brilliant story involving making choices and living with them. It's a brilliant exploration of loneliness within everyone and a tale of loss and redemption. Great character study and brilliant throwbacks to pop culture including other manga like 'Death Note'
And anyone who has shied away from 'Vinland saga' or 'Vagabond', shame on you...
on that note, I love manga with mystery like detective fiction. So I'd really appreciate any manga along the lines of PLUTO. all other constraints are fine, just it needs a nice character, mystery and intrigue is appreciated. And i also appreciate these story 'gimmicks' like switching between timelines or the story told from another perspective kind of deal.

A really good short shojo is Hana No Namae (The Name of the Flower), it's only 20 chapters, so a pretty quick read.
Summery: After losing her parents in an accident, Chouko locked away her emotions. The one who promised to look after her until she graduated from high school was the novelist Kei, a distant relative. He also cradles darkness in his heart, and as her graduation approaches, his newest novel "Hana" (Flower) is announced, a work charged with his feelings!? This is a romance manga spun with emotion.
I'm not usually a fan of shojo because it can get pretty unrealistic, but this one I adored.
Another totally awesome one is Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei. Which is a josei and only 10 chapters.
Summery: Life isn't sweet... Asaoka Yuuri, a senior in university, has failed for the 49th time in job hunting. During an exam at the 50th company, which should be a commemoration for her, she came to know Manabe Ryouji, a famous guy at her university. The first impression was horrible. But what will happen to Yuuri, who started to be attracted to Manabe, who looks cool and can do everything to the point that it's annoying...?!
Again, this one that feels very realistic in it's love approach, I loved it!

I'd like to ask if anyone could recommend a Manga to me that's a bit like Silver Diamond??
The Charcters are all really adorable and the plot is interesting, too.
The art is very pretty ~
Acctually, to me, the art is one of the most important things... I can't read a Manga if my eyes hurt with every picture!

Gary Grant, Ginger Rogers, as well as the other actors are truly great in this funny movie. I definitly enjoyed this movie, but was disappointed at the preview section of dvd showing parts of M. Monroe flicks. Not appropriate for youngsters.

AbstractCarbon bonded carbon fiber (CBCF) insulating material is the basis for several highly successful NASA developed thermal protection systems (TPS). Among the innovative TPS are Genesis, PICA (phenolic impregnated carbonaceous ablator) currently employed on the Stardust Mission and TUFROC (Toughened Uni-piece Fibrous Reinforced Oxidation-resistant Composite). NASA-Ames has a patent pending concerning TUFROC and the technology is planned for transfer to Boeing for fabrication of the X-37 leading edge. Carbon bonded carbon fiber (CBCF) utilized in the above mentioned TPS is attractive because of its low cost and density, superior thermal performance and compatibility with other components. However, the current CBCF manufacturing processes do not produce materials engineered to the necessary control required of these emerging and highly innovative TPS designs. This program will develop and demonstrate advanced processes and manufacturing approaches to consistently fabricate CBCF insulating material to desired specifications. The benefits derived include significantly improved flexibility for the TPS design engineer as well as more cost efficient CBCF derived TPS fabrication. It will also enable greater availability to this class of superior insulating materials.

Falls coming together for flood victims
Council also OKs raises for firefighters
Community support continues strong for Cuyahoga Falls residents who experienced flooding during a severe storm May 12.
At the City Council meeting May 27, International Association of Firefighters Local 494 President David Witner presented a $1,000 check on behalf of the Falls Firefighters and Community Benevolent Society Inc. to financially assist local flood victims.
He presented the donation to Shannon Campbell, owner of Sugar Luv Confections in Cuyahoga Falls.
When Campbell heard flooding forced 10 Falls families out of their homes, she decided to spearhead a relief effort.
Council President Mary Ellen Pyke (R-Ward 2) publicly thanked Campbell for taking the lead to assist the storm victims. Pyke specifically acknowledged Campbell for raising funds through a large raffle held May 26 at the Riverfront Mall Cruise In Car Show. Campbell said about 50 businesses came together to make the raffle possible.
Elizabeth Haggerty, of Pleasant Meadow Blvd., was present at the meeting to seek help, as well. When nearly 4 inches of rain quickly fell May 12, her car was parked at Ron Marhofer Hyundai, awaiting a recalled part to be replaced. She said the parking lot took on significant water and her car sustained unrepairable damage. Haggerty told Council she needs a vehicle to take her disabled son back and forth to medical appointments. She said a total of 20 individuals lost their vehicles in Marhofer's parking lot. Haggerty said she wanted the community to know some people lost items other than homes and also are in need of help, if it is at all possible.
Also during the meeting, Council approved an ordinance authorizing an agreement between Mayor Don Walters and the International Association of Firefighters Local 494. According to the approved agreement, firefighters will receive a 2.25 percent pay raise and the current union contract will extend through June 30, 2015. The agreement also calls for current staffing to be maintained at the city's five stations, which currently are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition, Council unanimously voted down an ordinance to approve a settlement agreement between the city and Jeffrey White. Councilman Paul Colavecchio (D-Ward 5) did not provide the details of the claim but said Council met in two executive sessions to discuss the matter and the issue has taken up a significant amount of professionals' time.
Council additionally adopted legislation:
- urging Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Attorney General Mike DeWine to enforce existing state laws against predatory lending as they relate to the purveyors of "auto title loans" and urging the Ohio General Assembly to repeal or amend the state statute pre-empting municipal regulation of "auto title loans" and other predatory lending practices;
- approving the findings and conditions of the major site plan for Cascade Auto Group's new 11,986-square-foot Audi terminal at 4161 State Road and a new 7,500-square-foot detail and service facility at 4149 State Road; and
- approving a request to apply for a $10,000 Summit County Community Grant for the creation of the Wyoga Lake Road multipurpose trail from Seasons Road to Graham Road.
Council also introduced a new piece of legislation to amend the traffic control file. If the legislation is approved next month, the following parking changes would be made in the city:
√ add signage designating southbound Lillis Drive at Portage Trail as a right lane, right turn/straight lane only and left lane, left turn only;
√ add signage designating northbound Cody Avenue at Portage Trail as a left lane, left turn only; center lane, straight only; and right lane, right turn only;
√ prohibit left turn movements into and out of the State Road entrance of Get Go at 2816 State Road;
√ prohibit left turn movements into and out of the State Road entrances of either side of a portion of the Portage Crossing development at 2855 State Road;
√ prohibit parking on both sides of all streets under 26-feet wide in the Hidden Lakes allotment;
√ prohibit parking on the even-numbered side of Hidden Lakes Lane;
√ add a stop intersection on Hidden Lake Lane at Lake View Drive;
√ add a stop intersection on Little Brook Drive at Hidden Lake Lane; and
√ replace the existing two-way stop intersection at Shaw Avenue and 23rd Street with a four-way stop.
Council will hold committee meetings June 2 and a regular meeting June 9, both beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Natatorium, 2345 Fourth St.

29 year old woman | Aloha, OR, United States | Seeking men 27-38 within 50 miles
Me: Active go-getter, dancer, writer, nurturer, lover of life, healer, semi-camouflaged artistic free spirit with a splash of tomboy. Sometimes a shy goofball. A true romantic at heart and find beauty by living in the moment. Even though I have fully explored my younger autonomous and feminist years, I have come full circle to appreciate old fashioned chivalry and gender roles as they come naturally. We are human and balance is key to a healthy life. I have traveled a lot, have lived a humble lifestyle on the road, taken a verrry long and profound spiritual journey, and actually came back to choose to consciously live in this mainstream society with a solid, rich heart and a healthy, progressive mind.. ready to co-create beautiful things with experienced souls. I am in a new stage where I am focusing my energy and skills more directly on future projects rather than exploring and being so expressive at every given moment. I'm looking for others who appreciate the dynamic foundation that I'm coming from and, with that, where I'm headed. I like to go BIG. Give it my all. "A" Team. Always loving life, staying active, and growing every day. Yes, I am a strong and independent woman who does what she wants, but I still hold a big space in my heart for being close and intimate with someone trustworthy and supportive of my future goals and lifestyle.

How does Rhubarb work?Rhubarb contains several chemicals which might help heal cold sores.
Are there safety concerns?Rhubarb is LIKELY SAFE when the root is consumed as food. It is POSSIBLY SAFE for most adults when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts for up to 3 months.
Rhubarb can cause some side effects such as stomach and intestinal pain, watery diarrhea, and uterine contractions. Long-term use can result in muscular weakness, bone loss, potassium loss, and irregular heart rhythm.
There is a report of kidney failure in someone who took a product containing rhubarb. But it's not known for sure if rhubarb was the actual cause of kidney failure.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Children: Rhubarb is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for children. There is one report of a 4-year-old who ate rhubarb leaves and died. Rhubarb leaves contain a lot of oxalic acid, which can be deadly if taken in large enough doses. Because of their small size, children are at highest risk for oxalic poisoning after eating rhubarb leaves.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Rhubarb is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when used in amounts greater than those found in foods.
Diarrhea or constipation: Rhubarb can make diarrhea or constipation worse, depending on the preparation used.
Gastrointestinal (GI) conditions: Don't take rhubarb if you have a bowel obstruction; appendicitis; unexplained stomach pain; or inflammatory conditions of the intestines including Crohn's disease, colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Kidney disease: There is a chemical in rhubarb that might harm the kidneys. In fact, a supplement that contained rhubarb has been linked to one report of kidney failure. If you already have kidney disease, don't risk making it worse by taking rhubarb.
Kidney stones: Rhubarb contains a chemical that the body can convert into kidney stones. If you have ever had kidney stones, don't take rhubarb.
Liver problems: Rhubarb can make liver function worse in people who already have liver problems. People who have liver problems should avoid rhubarb.
