Track daily and total visits on your blog posts. Display the count as well as popular and trending posts.
A fantastic, flexible plugin that does what it says in a logical, efficient way! Also, Ajay's support for the plugin is fantastic (see the Support thread for examples). Definitely add this if you're needing a "popular posts" feature for your site!
It works really well, thank you!
I was searching for a proffesional popular posts plugin with a lot of features and this is the best from everything i have try. it evens give the the ability to only take the posts id's and handle them as you pleased. It also has statistics daily and overall to track your hits.
Im waiting for the paid subscription to see what more we can have.
Also i must say that the author is giving great support and he help me until i have exactly the output i want from this plugin.
What more we can ask :)
Does just what I was looking for with very little hassle and the inclusion of shortcodes made integration a doddle.
Actually the author did help with a couple of pointers in a very timely way. Highly recommended.
Good work, thanks!
To try to help with performance issues on my growing anime/manga blog, I had to install W3-Total-Cache, which took a day to tweak to get the settings just right, but in the end, I saw a massive performance improvement. However, that came at a cost to JetPack's WordPress.com stats, which are used in JetPack's Top Posts/Pages widget. Basically, the caching meant that WordPress.com was unaware of pages getting hit. As such, I needed a new tool to do the job.
Enter Top 10. Not only do I have a widget to display my top ten posts in a fashion very similar to what JetPack did, but I have the option of customization from the size of the image icons used (assuming I use them at all), what's displayed in addition to the post title (post date, number of hits, etc.), to the time period I want to track what's trending, and so on. Further, I get a panel inside that allows me to see how posts are doing overall, and just for the day.
More importantly, this does work with W3-Total-Cache. In fact, because I ended up removing the Top Posts/Pages widget and deactivated the WordPress.com stats (which as I said, were useless because of W3-Total-Cache), my site's performance actually improved a bit, even with added Top 10 as a replacement. I was pretty happy about that. ^_^
Unlike any other it has the feature of picking up the first image of each post as thumbnail even if the image is linked with img tags from an external image hosting.
It also let you customize the output allowing you to add div class tags to the inner containers and make them look unique with CSS.
The plugin is constantly getting better Ajay always add new features and fix eventual bugs really fast, he always listen and consider users feedback.
This is really a great plugin to show a top 10 list with thumbnails.
Tip: For a better daily list, set the time period for the count to 2 days.
Setup was fast, but hast a lot of options to tweak later.
It showed plausible results within minutes.
This plugin is simply awesome, with great functionality. And kudos must go to the creator of the plugin as the support is second to none. :)

Last week the man who would have been the 45th head of the continent-spanning Ottoman dynasty, founded by Osman I in 1299, died. Ertugrul Osman instead lived in a rent-controlled flat in New York City.
Now if you read the story in the Telegraph, you learn some colorful details about Osman's life. He was the youngest son of Prince Mehmed Burhaneddin and his first wife Aliye Melek Nazliar Hanim. At age 10, he was sent to Vienna to study where he learned that the caliphate, which gave the Sultan authority over the world's Sunni Muslims, was abolished.
And then we learn about how he lived quite modestly — except for a love of cocktails, apparently — and never sought a return to power. In fact, he said he thought democracy was working quite well for Turkey. My favorite detail, though, is how he traveled the world without a Turkish passport — instead using documents claiming to be a citizen of the Ottoman Empire. Awesome.
But this report from CNN.com did such a better job of exploring some of the religious angles to his death. First, it did a much better job explaining the significance of the banning of Osman's family:
"His death marks the passing of an era," wrote Jason Goodwin, author of "Lords of the Horizons," which tells the history of the Ottoman Empire, in an e-mail to CNN. "Osman himself was born into a family that still ruled an empire stretching from the Balkans to the Indian Ocean. He was named after the founder of his dynasty, who lived seven centuries ago."
During annual campaigns at the peak of its power, the Ottoman Sultan's army of Janissaries struck fear into the hearts of European monarchs. For 400 years, the Ottomans declared themselves the "caliphs" — spiritual leaders — of the Muslim world.
But the empire declined during the 19th century, eventually suffering a humiliating defeat and partition at the hands of Allied armies during World War I.
In 1922, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish Republic, sent the last Ottoman sultan packing aboard a British warship. Two years later, Ataturk banned the caliphate, declaring Turkey a secular state.
It might have been worth a mention of the failed siege at the gates of Vienna in 1683, too, but this story is dealing with some pretty serious space constraints.
The story explains that Osman's Muslim funeral was attended by "Turkish state ministers, artists and media glitterati." But there were also quite a few mourners who were simply citizens of Turkey. The story describes them rushing other surviving family members and apologizing for how they were treated. And it turns out that there is a religion angle here, too.
The royal family seems to be especially revered by devout muslim Turks, who see the sultan's descendants as a link to the abolished Islamic caliphate.
"They are our grandfathers," said a young man named Fatih, who wore the long beard, turban and robes of a fundamentalist Islamic sect. "They glorified our religion and brought it to the highest level."
The funeral was attended by an eclectic mix of mourners — stylishly dressed members of the royal family who grew up in Europe alongside fervent Islamists, some of whom pushed through the crowd ordering women to move to the back to pray.
I'm not sure why "Muslim" isn't capitalized in the first sentence or, exactly, what "devout" means. But the CNN.com story does such a nice job of quickly explaining some of the religious history and current religious drama playing out in Turkey.
Having said that, both stories could have done a lot more to explain exactly what the caliphate was and its religious basis and significance to Muslim governance.

External vs Internal Monitors: The Role of Restructuring Consequences and Information Technologies
AbstractThis paper analyses the relative efficiency of internal and external monitors. It confirms the intuition that, if the principal and her employees share aligned interests, internal monitoring is superior to external monitoring; vice versa if interests diverge. This result is not robust for two alternative information technologies considered. If monitoring effort affects the frequency instead of the accuracy of produced signals, the optimal monitoring mode depends on the contingency policy that is adopted in case monitoring fails. If, by contrast, the obtained signals are nonverifiable, then internal monitoring is weakly dominant.

If you could choose to turn one Eagles player into a robot so they could maintain their skills and play forever, how would you not choose Brian Dawkins?
Ed McCaffrey, Brian Dawkins, and Coach Jack Del Rio are not only known for their leadership on the football field but for taking that leadership to a new level by supporting great charities like the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. See the difference they are making in the lives of others. That my friends is better than any touchdown. Hats off to the Denver Broncos cheerleaders as well.
The Denver Broncos 2012 season has officially begun at Dove Valley. Now that the NFL draft is complete and free agent signings are slowing down, Danny and Shadd share their thoughts on the new look Broncos.
I would love to thank Brian for many great years in the green. Lots of great memories. What is your favorite memory of Dawk? Should we bring him back to coach this year?
I wanted to take a second and recognize this great Bronco safety. The Eagles were fools to part ways with this catalyst, this supernova-hit-dealing monster, this LEGEND. Their loss was our gain, and he became the beating heart of our defense. Now Dawkins is hurt boys...I mean really hurt. He has tingling and numbness in his fingers weeks after aggravating an old neck injury (see 7:30 into the video). This is the type of injury that forces great players to leave the game they love. I hope he returns to play for us, but in case he doesn't I hope the Broncos follow his example and leave their guts on the field like this man has done for 16 seasons. Watch this video and tell me you don't wish you could be on the field with this warrior. He played OUT of his MIND for us this season, and we need our team to harness that intensity and UNLEASH it on the Steelers this weekend. LETS SHOW THE STEELERS HOW WE GET DOWN! LETS SET IT OFF DENVER! LIGHT...THEM...UP! Leave your favorite Dawkin's moment as a Bronco in the comments. If you're a man of faith, say a prayer for Dawk's health and for the safety of the teams this weekend. No one deserves to go out like that.
i misss youuuuuuuuuu
It was like a scene right out of a Rocky movie. Tim Tebow was knocked down repeatedly, had a bloody lip, and the nasty Oakland crowd was screaming "Tebow Sucks." Yet the Broncos young QB kept getting back up. And with the help of his friends Willis McGahee, Champ Bailey, and Eddie Royal the Broncos came back for a sweet victory against the hated Raiders
A rough outing for Tim Tebow and the entire Denver Broncos team. The lions easily outperformed the Broncos in every aspect of the game. Tebow looked lost, McCoy did his usual predictive play calling, Dawkins was slow, Champ was burned, Moreno was useless, and the receivers were rarely open.
Wow. Just ran across this watching Brian Dawkins highlights on Youtube. Wesley Woodyard gots jokes! ROFL
Rare video of the one and only Brian Dawkins

Dog reunited with owner after 10 years
Coincidence connects man with long-lost Basset Hound.
Ten years ago, Jamie Carpentier lost custody of his Basset Hound, Ginger, when he and his wife divorced. But he didn't know that shortly afterward, she'd given the dog up to a shelter.
Ginger spent many happy years with an older couple who adopted her, but she recently returned to the shelter when they could no longer care for her. That's when Carpentier happened to look at the listings for adoptable dogs on the web site for the Humane Society for Greater Nashua, N.H.
There, he read about a Basset named Ginger who, at 13, was about the same age as the dog he once had. He asked the group for a photo, and sent them photos of Ginger as a puppy — and the connection was made.
Carpentier recently arrived at the shelter to be reunited with Ginger as she was waking up from a nap.
"She heard my voice. I walked up to her and she kind of gave me a couple of licks or kisses. And I was like, 'She knows who I am, she remembers my voice,' " Carpentier said.

If you build it, they will come. But in the case of the new Lake Lorraine commercial development, retailers are coming before the first strip mall is even built.
Van Buskirk Companies is developing the 90-acre commercial property around the man-made lake at 32nd Street and Marion Road.
Steve Van Buskirk tells KELOLAND News his company is drawing up plans for the first retail center for the development and already has three tenants who want to move in: a retailer, a gym and a bar and grill. Van Buskirk says his company hopes to break ground in six to eight weeks.
When completed by the end of the year, the new mall will have room for 24,000 feet of retail space.
Van Buskirk says it will take a decade to complete development at Lake Lorraine.

CATEGORIES Sci-Fi & Fantasy, RumorMonger, Fandom, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalThere's a huge rumor making the rounds today (courtesy of Marketsaw) that Peter Jackson now wants to direct a third bridge film connecting The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings, and that he wants all three films (including Guillermo del Toro's two Hobbit movies) to be shot in 3D. Those of you following the progress of these films should remember that way back when The Hobbit was first announced, both Jackson and del Toro were keen on doing three movies total, with two based on The Hobbit and one based on other related material like appendices that Jackson had gotten a hold of.
A bit later on both men squashed the idea of a third film because, according to Jackson -- who spoke to MTV about a potential third film as recently as this month -- Warner Bros. and New Line only have the rights to make two films. However, it felt like Jackson wanted to make a third film if it was at all possible, so perhaps they've found a way to make that happen and we just haven't been told yet? Personally, though, I'm more interested in the 3D angle on all this because, well, I don't think they should be filmed in 3D. Not only would it be a bit rough to sit through a three-hour 3D movie (oh c'mon, you know those suckers are gonna be way long), but I just don't think 3D would add a whole lot to the finished product. Would Middle Earth look cool in a couple shots? Sure. Other than that ... eh?
I'll give you Avatar -- that's a film that belongs in 3D. And I can even see the potential in something gimmicky like Final Destination 3D. But The Hobbit? Really? Does every big upcoming film need to be in 3D now? Is that where we're at?
What do you think about The Hobbit in 3D?

Online, Seacoast mothers rally after Portsmouth mom of infant twins dies
Corie Jabre, 30, of Portsmouth was already raising two sons when she gave birth to her twins, Liam Lancelot and Brian Charles, in October, committed to breastfeeding them both.
Her three sisters were amazed at Corie Jabre's dedication.
Now, they are amazed by the overwhelming support being offered by the local community, and online communities of mothers who learned about Jabre's death this week and the need for breast milk for her two infant sons.
The family has collected over 1,000 ounces in donated breast milk for the boys so far, who are not handling formula well.
Family friend Barbara Martinez has also set up a fundraising page through the website www.giveforward.com to raise money for the family to pay funeral costs and to help the family buy everything the babies need, including diapers and clothes. As of Tuesday afternoon, donations had already reached over $10,000.
In addition to the twins, Jabre, a Portsmouth High School graduate and local beautician, left behind a 16-year-old son, Chance, and a 10-year-old son, Stefan. Jabre's parents have assumed responsibility of all four boys for the time being.
Jabre's sister, Logan Ringenburg lives in Chicago and came home when her sister became ill last week. Ringenburg is the mother of a 5-month-old daughter and a 3-year-old son and thought she would come home to help with the babies while her sister recovered.
All of Jabre's boys had been ill in the week leading up to her illness, and she remained dedicated to taking care of them before falling ill herself.
Jabre saw a doctor on Friday and received a prescription for a sinus infection, but did not get better. The next evening, she went into the hospital with difficulty breathing and doctors discovered she was suffering from pneumonia.
Around 3 a.m., the family was told to call a priest and to come say goodbye, Ringenburg said.
Memorial services for Jabre will be held this weekend.
As family and friends grieve, they are also doing their best to provide support, love and necessities to the four sons left behind.
Ringenburg said taking care of the boys is a good distraction for her parents from the grief of losing one of their four daughters.
"They have a lot of love to give, but not so much money," Ringenburg said.
Ringenburg said it was amazing to see how many mothers want to help support the babies by providing excess breast milk.

Hillary Clinton addresses Ferguson crisis, says U.S. is 'better than that'
Hillary Clinton broke her silence Thursday on the shooting of Michael Brown, addressing the tragedy that tipped off two weeks of racially fraught violence in Ferguson, Missouri for the first time during a speech at a tech conference in San Francisco."Watching the recent funeral for Michael Brown, as a mother, as a human being, my heart just broke for his family. Because losing a child is every parent's greatest fear and an unimaginable loss," she said at the beginning of her paid remarks to the Nexenta OpenSDx Summit. "But I also grieve for that community and for many like it across our country."
Economic growth improves a little more
The U.S. economy grew at a slightly faster 4.2% annual pace in the second quarter, mainly because businesses invested more in buildings and equipment than previously reported, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Initially the government said the U.S. expanded at a seasonally adjusted 4% clip. Economists polled by MarketWatch predicted gross domestic product would be revised down a tick, but business investment and net exports were stronger than expected.

House Republican says impeachment talk can 'proceed' after midterms
A Republican congressman said there's a "slim" chance that President Obama will be impeached, and if the House began impeachment proceedings, they would probably fail and cost the Republican Party a chance at winning the Senate. [...][Merchant] added "the will of the American people is not there" and said if Republicans went against that and attempted to impeach Obama there would be "a violent reaction" that would keep Republicans from winning the Senate. He said Republicans should wait until after the November elections to "proceed on that question."

New York's Gillibrand shines a light on Capitol Hill harassment
If there was any question as to whether sexual harassment exists among members of Congress, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) confirmed the answer in a new interview with People magazine.According to excerpts from the interview obtained in advance by the New York Post, the congresswoman recalled multiple male colleagues making disparaging comments about her body as she struggled with her weight after having a child.
Obama eyes plan to circumvent Congress on climate agreement
The Obama administration is working to forge a sweeping international climate change agreement to compel nations to cut their planet-warming fossil fuel emissions, but without ratification from Congress.In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting with diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the world's largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution.
Why the odds of a government shutdown are growing
A well-placed House Republican source tells me GOP leadership is increasingly nervous about the potential for a rebellion on the funding bill. The small but influential hard core of House conservatives were emboldened by what happened earlier this month with the border bill: A proposal favored by Speaker John Boehner to address the border crisis with emergency funding and expedited deportations had to be pulled when conservatives, egged on by Senator Ted Cruz, revolted. The legislation the House passed instead had a smaller price tag and would bar President Obama from continuing his policy of allowing some young undocumented immigrants to stay in the U.S. The Democrat-led Senate, meanwhile, did not manage to pass its own version of border legislation at all, so Congress failed to act on the issue.House conservatives like Michele Bachmann and Steve King considered the episode a major victory. Bachmann called it a highlight of her career. Now, Republican leaders are worried that conservatives will not go along with a simple government-funding bill unless it reflects their priorities.
A congressional excuse takes shape on ISIS?
Congress should not give President Obama additional authority to combat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) until the administration provides a strategy for defeating the militant group, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said Wednesday.

Woman sent to hospital after Rochester crash
The driver of this flatbed tow truck escaped injury after he was involved in a head-on collision along Route 11 near the Rochester-Farmington line Saturday afternoon.
ROCHESTER - A Farmington woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries after an accident near the Rochester-Farmington town line Saturday.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 4:15 p.m. after an eastbound Kia Rio driven by Alison Page, 25, of Farmington, lost control and crossed the center line and struck a westbound International ramp truck driven by William Baxter, 65, of Farmington, according to police.
As a result of the impact, the ramp truck, which was carrying a Dodge pickup, drove onto the westbound shoulder and struck a tree on the side of the road, police said.
Local crews were assisted by police, firefighters and ambulance personnel from Farmington. Farmington ambulance crews transported Page to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
A state trooper from the Motor Carrier Enforcement Unit responded to assist investigators determine the cause. No charges have been filed at this time, and both vehicles were towed from the scene.

I first started watching animé in July of 2009, having been invited to sit on an animé panel at the Montreal WorldCon. Naturally, I wanted to sound like I knew what I was talking about, so I did a lot of homework into the Japanese canon, and was immediately hooked..
It was years before I came up for air. But eventually I did begin to sense a sameness. Certain tropes became excessively familiar. I still loved animé, but I grew jaded, and even sought out stories that did not feature adorable high school students fighting demons. Can you guess what I found? French animé!

released posted Chris Kessler's final cut of his awesome-looking Blade Runner: Anime trailer. Dare I say it looks better than the film…?
Due to various people being absent at cons, I haven't really dug into the new season yet, and in any event it only just started. So I'll save the first episodes for next time, and instead do something suggested by reader Platypus — look back at the past seasons I'd previewed and see what show actually panned out. Opinions are tricky, of course, and this is only a partial list. It's fun to look at what I wrote about from just seeing the first episodes, though!
I should note that any of the series I mention, I watched all the way to the end, so I at least enjoyed them that much. I'm not saying the ones I mentioned negatively are bad, or that you necessarily shouldn't watch them, just that they failed to ascend to the heights where I'd actively pick them out to talk about in the future.

For me personally, the term "episodic" is usually not a compliment when it comes to anime. It depends on the genre, of course: comedies work better in an episode-by-episode format than dramas do, because there's only so much of a dramatic arc that can be squeezed into 22 minutes. At their worst, episodic shows devolve in a "monster/case/artifact of the week" and repetitive formulas — this was very common back when more shows were 26 episodes instead of 13 and need more filler.
Making a dramatic, episodic show work is not impossible, but it takes superior writing — there's no room for lost time when you're trying to tell a fairly complex plot in a short span of time. I've already talked about one show that does it, Paranoia Agent. While it has a continuing story, each episode (until the very end) is a separately crafted piece. Cowboy Bebop, which follows the standard plot-filler-plot-filler-plot structure, has filler episodes that are individually so good you'd never notice. Today I'd like to talk about another show that does this style very well!
Endings have always been a problem in anime. Even among my favorite shows, those that actually come to some kind of satisfying conclusion at the end of the series are a small minority. As an anime fan, it's just something you learn to deal with — I'm at the point, especially with one season (13 episode) shows, that I just don't expect them to actually wrap anything up. Even so, it can be frustrating!
(It also means that when a show does have a distinct beginning, middle, and end, planned and executed for its run time, it often stands out. This is one of the reasons Madoka Magika was so impressive.)

More shows from Spring 2014! Lots of SFF this season.
Read the rest of this entry
Apologies for the break! I've been a bit busy launching my new middle-grade fantasy, which means I haven't had as much time to watch anime, let alone write about it. But now I'm catching up, which means it's time to look at what we have on the slate for Spring 2014!
As usual, I'm not going to bother with shows I hated, sequels to things I haven't written about, or shows with no SFF element. (Though one of my early favorites, Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka, is in the latter category as another "cute girls doing nothing" show.) Also as usual, I'm only one or two eps in to these, so these are only initial impressions!

Today I'd like to look at three shows that aimed to create a roughly similar atmosphere, with varying levels of effectiveness. Serial Experiments Lain, Boogiepop Phantom, and Paranoia Agent all try to create a kind of creeping horror. Not jump scares, or sprays of gore, but a weird, oppressive feeling that keeps the watcher disoriented and in suspense. They share some storytelling and visual techniques in places, too: surreal imagery, washed-out color palettes, an emphasis on repetition and paranoia. All three have things to offer a viewer, but in my final judgment only Paranoia Agent, the late Satoshi Kon's masterpiece, is ultimately successful as a single work. Let's have a look!

Read or Die deserves its place on the list of Best Anime Ever, but I've always had a extra fondness for it, both because I identify with the heroine at times and because it was one of the first truly great anime I watched when it was actually coming out, as opposed to it being presented to me as part of the canon. I can still remember watching it for the first time (a pirated copy on my old Dell PC, please don't tell on me) and realizing that this was something special and much better than the endless action shows I'd been watching to that point.
There have been two animated series so far (based on the original manga and spin-offs), set in the same continuity — a three-episode OVA series and a full-length TV show. The OVA series comes first, both chronologically and in-universe, so let's look at that.

Comedy is hard. To date, I haven't talked much about anime comedies, for a couple of reasons. First, and most important, in my experience they are much more of a subjective experience in terms of quality. There are shows that inexplicably "click" with me, comedy-wise, that leave others baffled, and vice versa. That makes recommendations, or preparing a best-of list, a tricky business.
Second, a lot of comedies — at least the sort that I like — depend fairly heavily on Japanese cultural and language knowledge. Shows like Lucky Star, for example, are only funny if you understand where the jokes and parodies are coming from, and thus are not particularly suited for a non-otaku audience.
Other brands of comedy, though, cross through cultural boundaries more easily. Here are a couple that I think are worth a look, even if you're not steeped in anime fandom.

Anime is becoming extremely popular between the western world, and with their unique style of artwork and storytelling, it seems the Japanese have been on to something for a while that we westerners are only just catching hold of. Anime has a way of making the viewer identify with characters on a personal level, making it quite addictive to watch and somewhat heartbreaking when certain series come to an end.
Often based around tales of fantasy and alternate universes, Anime has many a treat in store for sci-fi fans, so today, Ash from AnimeSquad.net delivers a list of 5 anime series that Sci-Fi fans will enjoy!
Today we have the second half of the Winter '14 season, alphabetically speaking. We're now four weeks in, so I've seen three or four episodes of most of these shows, but I will keep the spoilers to episode one.
Well, we're almost two weeks into the Winter season, which has given me a chance to take a look at the first episodes. This season I'm trying a slightly different format — instead of covering every show, I'm including only the ones I either liked or found ridiculous/hilarious. Winter is traditionally a weak season (Spring and Fall are when the big-money shows air) but there's a few shows shaping up to be good!
Side note: I'm leaving out a few shows with no SFF interest (Sakura Trick) and sequels to shows I haven't talked about (Chuunibyou) so this isn't 100% representative of my own viewing habits. Entries may contain spoilers, but only for the first episode.
The tradition of schoolgirls fighting things — monsters, criminals, each other — is an old one in anime, going back through Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura. It's such a common trope (especially since high school is the default setting for most shows) that it has spawned a whole set of adaptations, genre-twisters, parodies, and so on.
Someday I will get around to talking about Madoka Magika, a show that is in this genre and is probably at the top of my "favorite anime of all time" list. (It's very difficult to write about because so much of its awesomeness is embodied in a few plot twists that are hard not to spoil. Short version, just go watch.) Today, though, I want to talk about a couple of other shows that have interesting takes on the basic concept.
Finally an answer to question: What if Star Wars was a 1980′s anime?
This week, we have two shows that (a) are called "Black Something" and (b) fall well outside the norm for anime in terms of setting and protagonists. Anime fans apparently never get tired of high school students saving the world from monsters, or hapless guys with more magical cute girls than they know how to deal with. And while I'm certainly on board with those shows (when they're good) it's nice to do something different for a change. So today: Salaryman protagonists!

You probably have not heard of this 2007 Korean film directed by Lee Sung-gang. Even most anime fans may miss it, since it is not a Japanese TV series about big-eyed school children slaying demons and manning giant robots. I don't see any indication it was ever distributed in the USA, although it did appear in a few film festivals in 2008. And that really is a shame.
Mind you, this delightful film (with Ye-jin Son as Yobi and Deok-Hwan Ryu as Geum-ee) makes very little sense. Just for starters, let's consider the prologue. We are told the history of a species of magical shape shifters known as nine-tailed foxes. There are several more references within the film to nine-tailed foxes. But there aren't any nine-tailed foxes in it anywhere.

Now that I've done a once-over of the present season, here's the plan. I'm going to talk about some shows that I have seen which (a) I think would be of interest to SFF fans, and (b) are not well known outside the anime community. Part of the stated purpose of this column is to be a sort of missionary from Animeland to SFFland, and my observation has been that many of the shows that people who live in Animeland consider required viewing are essentially unknown in the wider SFF world. So, if you're already an anime fan, some of these are pretty old news, but take it from me that a lot of people still haven't heard of them.
I'm also not going in any particular order, nor necessarily starting with the Best Shows Ever. (Really, that just provokes arguments.) I'm just going to talk about some shows I think SFF types might find interesting to watch, and try to explain the reasons and explore the flaws.
There will probably be some information in these columns that might be considered "spoilers" in the very strictest sense, but I'll do my best not to ruin any big surprises, reveals, or endings. In the event that I absolutely can't avoid it, I'll slap a warning on the top of the column.
On to the shows!

|Of course each year there are 'newer and better' (well maybe just "newer") offerings and this seems particularly true for echinacea and coreopsis. Anyways in my winter web surfing I have been seeing this new coreopsis. But maybe in fact it was available this past summer. Has any GW member had experience with "Mercury Rising"?

|Can't tell you anything about it yet but I have it ordered for spring. Planted two other of the big bang series last spring. In year one they were very healthy (no midew) and bloomed well all season. This winter is really been dry so hopes are high they will return. It's those wet freeze thaw winters that kill my coreopsis and echinacea. Pretty sure I'm going to put mercury rising in a pot and place with daylilies. Then when winter starts I can place the pot in the shed cause I'm tired of losing them in wet soggy winters. That is of course IF it ever rains here again. Heres hoping for gentler weather for farmers and us gardeners this season. Pat

"The mayor of Sochi … has said there are no gay people in the city," reported the BBC on Jan. 26. (Later in the story it is revealed, of course, this couldn't possibly be true. "BBC 'Panorama' reporter John Sweeney visited a gay bar in Sochi the night before he interviewed the mayor," read the story.)
This has been dubbed President Vladimir Putin's Games, and he is not a man to be trifled with. Putin has essentially been in control of Russia since 1999. He's a 16-year KGB veteran. He stages photo ops demonstrating his alpha male dominance to his loyal followers, taking to land (tranquilizing polar bears), sea (scuba diving) and air (co-piloting fighter jets).
Putin has vigorously defended his Games.
"I'd like to ask our colleagues, my colleagues and friends, that as they try to criticize us, they would do well to set their own house in order first," he told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News' "This Week" Jan. 19. "There are a lot of folks in the U.S. who share the view that the [anti-gay rights] legislation in their state or in their nation is appropriate, well grounded, and is in sync with the sentiment of the vast majority of the population."
This is what people mean when they say, "being on either the right or wrong side of history." President Barack Obama is conspicuously absent from these Olympic Games, and many other public figures have also filed their discontent.
"[British Deputy Prime Minister] Nick Clegg has urged gay visitors to … Sochi to protest against Putin's 'appalling' treatment of gay people," reported Matthew Holehouse in The Guardian on Friday.
I am absolutely not saying everyone who wants to deny LGBT people human rights is like Vladimir Putin. But, fairly or not, you are often judged in retrospect by the company you keep. So, do you stand with Putin, or don't you?

Venom Vision: Wins elude starters
Originally published: Jun 26, 2013 - 3:30 pm
But the number itself isn't all that meaningful when you take into account that they've also lost 11 games in which they've scored just one run, not to mention team has been dominated in recent weeks by the likes of Lance Lynn, Eric Stults, Clayton Richard and Mat Latos.
What is meaningful about the streak is simply what it stands for.
Going into the season, general manager Kevin Towers said this year's roster was filled with players who would never give up on an at-bat regardless of the score, and whether it's been Paul Goldschmidt, Miguel Montero, Jason Kubel or Josh Wilson (who isn't even on the team anymore) producing late in games to preserve the streak, that certainly has been in the case.
In the Around the Diamond Segment, another streak is put under the microscope -- this one of the negative variety.
Since Wade Miley won in St. Louis on June 5, not a single D-backs starting pitcher has recorded a victory. But while the rotation has had its fair share of struggles in June, the 17-game drought doesn't tell the whole story.
It doesn't factor in that on three separate occasions in that span Patrick Corbin pitched eight innings while only giving up a run, or that Ian Kennedy had his best two outings of the year, or that Randall Delgado's first start against the Miami Marlins on June 18 was quality with a capital Q.
The individual win is often a hallow statistic because it rewards and punishes pitchers based on factors sometimes out of their control -- lack of run support or a spotty bullpen.
The D-backs' starting pitchers don't deserve a pass because it hasn't been all that pretty, but it hasn't been as ugly as 17-straight games without a win either. Sometimes stats fail to put things in proper perspective.

For the most part, storm didn't faze Granite Staters
Bret Giiford teaches his daughter, Maeve, 11, how to cross-country ski on North Street in Manchester on Saturday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Armed with snow shovels, Tony Salerno, 16, and his friend Jordan Bussiere, 15, were working their own form of capitalistic snow removal.
Their rates for clearing a driveway: $15 for a small one and $25 for a large one. Homeowners were receptive.
"They were like, 'If you want to do it, go for it,' " Salerno said.
The pair made about $60 between them before 1 p.m.
At Derryfield Park, people weren't digging out but bailing out their towed cars.
Thiago Carvatto was waiting for his dad, Nilson, to hand over $110 to get their 1995 Honda Civic returned after it was towed from Joliette Street during the city's snow emergency.
Thiago's girlfriend didn't think it was fair, but the son understood.
"It's your fault," he said.
Police reported 117 cars towed and an additional 13 ticketed for violating the city's snow emergency parking ban.
Manchester police Lt. Shawn Fournier, who was working at the park's temporary tow yard, said "most people have been pretty good."
He's heard offenders say they were caught off guard or they didn't have anywhere else to park their car.
One woman, after paying her money, had to have a tow truck free her vehicle after plowed and drifting snow surrounded it.
"Are you going to help me get out?" she asked. "I got a sick dog."
Others looked to head somewhere for lunch after their labors.
After shoveling in their Fox Hollow neighborhood, Ryan Turmelle walked amid whiteout conditions along Elm Street looking for food.
"We're freezing," he said. "You work up an appetite shoveling all that snow."
They were heading to Caesario's restaurant on Elm Street.
The blizzard meant more deliveries and fewer people eating inside the restaurant Saturday afternoon.
"Usually, the place is filled up on Saturday, and you can see it's empty," said owner Nir Shpindler.
Delivery people maybe make 20 percent better tips during the snowstorm. On Saturday, one delivery customer gave a 40 cent tip on a $20 order; a second gave a $15 tip on a $15 order.
"There's no way to tell: Some people are generous, some people aren't," he said.
Others were heading toward warmer locales - if their plane got out.
At Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, no passenger flights came or left since about 5:30 p.m. Friday, according to Deputy Airport Director Brian O'Neill. A cargo flight arrived about 2:12 p.m. Saturday.
Nancy Odams was leaving behind 30 inches of snow in Epsom, hoping to catch the first departure out of Manchester since Friday afternoon, a US Airways flight to Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon, so she could connect and reach Phoenix for a horse show.
She prefers the warm weather, but added, "I am a New Englander."
Her ride to the airport wasn't frightening. "Actually, the highway was excellent, and everybody seemed to be doing 45 mph that they expected," Odams said.
Richard Fogg of Alton was waiting for that same Philadelphia flight to visit family in Fort Myers, Fla.
"I was out at 4:30 (a.m.) shoveling," he said. His wife, Melissa, had to get to work at Kohl's in Rochester, but she found the store closed.
When she woke up, Mrs. Fogg said, there was "zilch" chance of her husband leaving.
The flight did take off - about a half-hour late.

Transatlantic Trends 2013
[19/09/2013] [EU-Weit] [Statistiken] [Englisch]
Beitrag von : Integration Expert
Autoren : German Marshall Fund of the United States
Transatlantic Trends 2013 is an annual survey of U.S. and European public opinion conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) and the Compagnia di San Paolo, with additional support from the Barrow Cadbury Trust, Fundação Luso-Americana, the BBVA Foundation, the Communitas Foundation, the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Eleven European Union member states were surveyed: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, as well as the United States and Turkey. Polling was conducted by TNS Opinion between June 3 and June 27, 2013. In Turkey, polling was suspended for a week and was completed by July 2, 2013.
The United States continues to debate immigration reform, while within Europe, the economic crisis has had a visible impact on mobility flows, most notably to Germany but also to countries in the global South. Regardless of the number of actual migrants, the topic of migration continues to raise concerns about the social and economic impacts of migration in many countries.

I did some work for a client and decided that for a simple site like his, a password protected directory would suffice for keeping his administration files safe.
He uses CPanel to handle his actual website, and so we just used the CPanel password protection.
I just got a call from him saying that the files are 404ing, so I went and looked at the directory, and all of the files are gone.
Is it possible that the files were:
- deleted by CPanel
- deleted by the server itself
- deleted by accident
Thanks in advance. Google was no help.

WSVN -- While most of us crave something sweet or maybe something salty, 29-year-old Megan Harmon has a different craving.
Megan Harmon: "My body kind of craves water. I drink a lot of water. I'm obsessed with water."
Whether she's doing yoga or just simply taking a walk, you won't see her without a bottle of H2O.
Megan Harmon: "I drink as much water as my body wants from me, which I assume is probably about eight glasses a day."
We've all heard we're supposed to guzzle eight glasses a day. But for most of us, it's hard to do. Well, here's some good news: turns out, that theory is totally watered down.
Sheah Rarback, Registered Dietitian, Miller School of Medicine: "It's a myth. No one knows even where it came from. There's absolutely no science that came up with the number eight as the magic number for water."
While our bodies do need water, dietitians say there may be an even better way to get it: eat your water.
Sheah Rarback: "Foods are full of water. Eating foods that have a high water content is one of the best ways to help you lose weight."
Your best foods with fluids: fruits and veggies. The name says it all: watermelon is 97 percent water. Also, strawberries and peaches are high in H2O. Just think, the juicier, the better.
Sheah Rarback: "If you're eating a juicy peach or a juicy piece of watermelon, you know you're getting the fluid your body needs."
When it comes to veggies, cucumbers rank number one. They're 96 percent water.
Sheah Rarback: "Tomatoes and zucchini are about the same in water content, and that's about 95 percent is water."
You might be surprised about this one. Broccoli is another heavy-hitter.
Sheah Rarback: "Broccoli is 91 percent water. You don't think about it, 'cause it's dense, but there's water in the cells of the broccoli."
Another shocker: beans.
Sheah Rarback: "If you think of a bean, it's a dry, hard little pod. But then you soak it, and it soaks up all the water when you cook it, so a bean has 77 percent fluid in there."
Experts say eating water-rich foods not only helps you lose weight, but it can make you look younger too.
Sheah Rarback: "It's going to help our skin stay sort of plumped up or moist."
Megan doesn't plan on giving up her water bottle any time soon. But now, she's going to try to "eat" her water too.
Megan Harmon: "I will be more aware of what I could be contributing to my body when it comes to having more water."
Christine Cruz: "Soup is another way to get water and fill up fast. But just beware of soup filled with salt."

2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
- RepairsAcura TSX Sport Wagon
Used Car: 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon Review
Test drivers enjoyed the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon's athletic handling, as well as its upscale interior and generous list of standard features.
The 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon comes with a four-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, and automotive experts were pleased with its energetic acceleration. According to the EPA, the 2013 TSX Sport Wagon gets 22/30 mpg city highway, which is typical for a four-cylinder wagon. Reviewers wrote that the TSX Sport Wagon offers poised handling and feels quite stable through corners. They said that light steering makes the TSX Sport Wagon easy to maneuver in tight spots, and they praised its responsive brakes and firm, but comfortable, ride.
The interior of the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon features quality materials, critics said, though some thought its design might be too plain for certain shoppers. Reviewers had an easy time finding a comfortable driving position, but many said the back seats feel cramped and offer knee- and legroom that's tolerable at best. At 66.2 total cubic feet, the 2013 TSX Sport Wagon's cargo area is above average for the class. Automotive journalists noted that the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon has many standard features, including leather upholstery, heated front seats, Bluetooth and a moonroof. Models with the Technology Package come with an upgraded sound system, navigation, a power liftgate and a rearview camera. Some critics wrote that the TSX Sport Wagon's button-heavy dashboard can be overwhelming, but others mentioned that finding the controls is easy once you're familiar with the layout.

Other Wagons to Consider
The new-for-2013 Audi Allroad features standard all-wheel drive, and critics agreed that its interior is elegant and exquisitely constructed. They added that the Allroad offers a comfortable ride, light, yet responsive, steering and poised handling.
The 2013 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon's stylish interior and athletic handling impressed reviewers when it was new. Additionally, the CTS Sport Wagon is available with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that automotive journalists said offers loads of highway passing power.

Whatever locale you choose for your Tallahassee vacation rental, it will surely be a vacation to remember.

Barbecues on forest facing decks, sunset views from a balcony, proximity to roaring nightlife—Tallahassee vacation rentals cater to you.
Tallahassee Vacation Rentals Are So Close to So Much
Within driving distance of all Tallahassee vacation rentals are the beaches of Florida's Emerald Coast.
