1. Lucy
This may be a surprise to some of you, but my fanatical obsession with Lucy was not love at first sight. I always thought she was a bad ass, The opening scene of Elfen Lied is one of the crowning moments of awesome in anime. That being said, i didn't begin to have strong feelings for her until her orphanage scene. No spoilers of course, but my heart broke when i watched that. Then I looked at lucy's past actions with the knowledge i had acquired and came to an epiphany about why Kaede is who she is. The mixture of feelings i had, Empathy, Pity and awe culminated in the bond i have with this character. |
2. Kazuki Shikimori
The Reason i like Kazuki is pretty simple. He is me. I'm pretty sure the Mangeka met me once, said "I'm going to make this kid into an anime character" and the series was born. Every single time that i said "If i was in this situation i would do X" Kazuki would do it about 10 seconds later. I don't think i ever related to an anime character as much as i do Kazuki Shikimori and i doubt i ever will. |
3. Kei Kurono
Kei represents the cynical little part of us that we keep locked deep inside. His thoughts during the opening of the series while dark, are for the most part true. I'm sure not many people would admit to this, but who hasn't had thoughts like "Even if that guy lives to 100 he'll never do anything important" or "why should i risk my life for some homeless man nobody probably cares about" It was also cool to see him change from whiny little punk to Badass killing Machine. |
4. Tsunayoshi Sawada
Tsuna Represents the ultimate underdog story. A kid whom even his mother calls "No good Tsuna" he was bad at pretty much everything. When Reborn came around all that changed. The first time he shot him in the head, his badass was sealed. How many people would have the balls to rip of their clothes, go screaming through town butt naked and then confess to the girl they've had a crush on since they were a little kid, and actually get it in? |
5. Yusuke Urameshi
Yusuke was badass incarnate for me when i was a little kid. I even quoted Yusuke to my principal once "Stop talking it makes you sound stupid" (I didn't think that one through enough) |
6. Eikichi Onizuka
Every single episode of GTO gave me the tingly feeling in my chest that i now associat with awesome. Jumping out of a window to save a student? Taking a sledge hammer to a girls wall so she could talk to her parents? Jumping a broken bridge on his bike to teach a girl that she really wants to live? His actions may not have been well thought out but they certainly came from the heart. |
7. Gohan
I think the reason I like Gohan so much is because i got to see him grow up. I Saw Gohan progress from sheltered little boy, to cocky teenager and finally become the most powerful being in the universe. Although his personality changed, he never lost his most defining trait, his kindness toward every living being in the universe. |
8. Tsukune Aono
My favorite Genre of anime is Harem. That fact is important to why Tsukune is on my top 10 list because of what he represents. Tsukune was the first male protagonist who actually deserved his harem. |
9. Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell
What's more cool then a dominatrix vampire? A loli dominatrix vampire! This is one of the characters who i just like for the cool factor. If i ever fall into Negima, I'm definitely looking Evangeline up to be my "Master" |
10. Ban Mido
Just another cool factor character. I don't really have much to say with ban other then he is awesome. |

I've been making this since 1991, and it never fails. Totally delicious. You and your guests will love it. Cheers!
It was so good we have already made it twice, and dare we admit, ate it three nights in a row. It does reheat well. We have not done the sauce. That tart alone is excellent.

What happened to responsive design? I bought this assuming responsive design but it isnt… menu is broken… and you have known this for 4 months…
http://hellasdesign.gr/forum/magazino/27-change-the-menu-for-responsive-designAm i missing something here?
You would've had way more sales if you fixed this basic item
Dear islandmix,
Please, send us via email the URL of your site and we will help you fix the problems you have.
Main Menu was improved in the versions 1.2 and 1.4. If you still have problems, please let us know via email and we will fix them as soon as possible.
Best regards, Hellas Design
what is email… i will send now
Please, use the form that you can find on this page: http://themeforest.net/user/HellasDesign
Also this was using the self-joomla install from Siteground (It installed Joomla 3.2.3
I completely removed the auto-installation and tried to start from scratch – I uploaded the Quickstart.zip to the public_html file and unzipped it but wasn't able to launch the installer. Thanks!
Dear lairdphotos,
Thank you very much for purchasing Magazino – Responsive Joomla Template. Please, upload the quickstart package for Joomla 3.2 to your server and then send us an email (use the contact form on our profile) and we will help you install it.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Hi – I just sent you an email.
Dear lairdphotos,
As I can see, you installed the quickstart package correctly. It seems that there is no problem. Just add your new articles and you will be ready.
If you need something else, please visit our support forums: http://hellasdesign.gr/forum or send us an email.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Hi there,
Fantastic template, have been happy with it so far. The only issues are the main menu, which isn't working in a responsive state (or at least, when you look at it on a smartphone, you press the menu button and the content slides to the right – but the 'menu' itself does not appear along the side – it's just blank). If I test this in a desktop browser and reduce width of browser, I can see how the menu responds to width, and the menu button should make a condensed version appear on the left-hand side – but this doesn't happen for me on the client's site via a smartphone.
Also, we updated K2 after installation, and an error occurs which is nowhere to be found in K2 forums, so it must be Template-related.
Prior to K2 update, the "Published Date" on K2 News items was showing fine. After the update, instead of the date, all it says is "K2_ThuAMESTE_April+1000RAprAMEST_0C3
". So for now, we have just set Item view options > Item created date and time to "HIDE" instead of "SHOW".
Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for producing such a great template.
Hey AtreyuOhmsford,
Thank you very much for the purchase. Well…
1. Please, make sure that you have the latest version of Magazino Template for Joomla and check the template options (Navigation Tab) to be:
Off-Canvas Navigation: YES Navigation Style: MEGAMENU Animation: NONE
2. First of all, make sure that you have uploaded the folder "html" of Magazino Template under templates/magazino
Also, if you are not using the language en-GB, add the following lines in e.g. en-GB.ini (the basic file of your language):
DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d F Y" K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d-m-Y"
If you need something else, please let us know.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Thank you Hellas Design for your prompt reply, it is greatly appreciated.
The K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d-m-Y" worked. Though I was already using en-GB.ini …. for some reason, this line was not present in en-GB.com_k2, so I added it as an exception in en-GB.ini. The date is now showing perfectly, thank you.
However, with the Main Menu issue, the Navigation Tab is already set to those defaults. Plus I am using the latest Version 1.6 (10 January 2014). And I am using the "Magazino – Text Menu" template.
Any other ideas on what could be causing this problem?
Many Thanks
Hey AtreyuOhmsford,
Please, send via email the URL of the site and we will check it as soon as possible.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Thanks Hellas Design, I really appreciate it. I'll send it to you now. Many Thanks
I use the template on a site that allready has a template. It is Joomla 3.3 and the template I already use is SmashBoard (also with t3-assets). Everything is updated.
When I make the template Magazino as Default… the main page says; Layout [default] or [Default] not found!...
what can I do?!
Dear jwduim,
First of all, make sure that you are using the latest version of Magazino – Responsive Joomla Template (v.1.7) and the latest version of T3 Framework. If you have already installed them, please send us via email the URL of your site and login details to Joomla's backend to check it.
Best regards, Hellas Design
I use the 1.7 version
Dear jwduim,
In order to find the problem, we have to check the settings of the template on your site. However, make sure that you have set:
Theme (tab): Theme > Custom Layout: default-content-left
Also, don't forget to update T3 Framework to version 2.2.1
Thanks for your quick reply! I allready use the latest t3. but the tab sttings did help. Now I see the site, but it looks far from waht it suposed to look. The left bar is not nice and also there are no borders arround the content.. I want to send a print screen and want you to look at it. but is there a way to give you the information on a private way?
Dear jwduim,
Please, use the form on our profile to send us an email or login/register on our support forums: http://hellasdesign.gr
Best regards, Hellas Design
I just mail you. Thanks!!
Dear jwduim,
We have replied to your email. Please, feel free to contact us if you need something else.
Have a nice day/night.
Best regards, Hellas Design
You are GREAT!! I see al the things you already change for me (so quick too), really great!!
I have some problems : 1) I installed the quickstart with Joomla 3.3. Joomla and the website works but it's empty (any menu or articles).
2) I have just 3 modules in the module manager : Breadcrumbs, Main Menu and Login Form. But if I'm going on Extensions Manager I can see all modules (as in the folder modules on the FTP).
3) I tried to upload the T3 System Plugin but I have a red message. It say : "Invalid extension update".
I did all steps wrote on the documentation…How can I do to resolve all problems ?
Best Regards, Nicolas Teillard.
Dear Nicolas,
I am sorry for that. It seems that you didn't install it correctly. Please, remove the configuration.php file and upload again the folder "installation". In the last steps, select to install "Default English (GB) Sample Data". This will install the demo content and the template.
Also, don't forget to create an account on our Support Forums: http://hellasdesign.gr to find answers to other problems or post your questions.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Thank you for you answer ! So fast !
Everything seems to be works without… I have a white page on the frontoffice… and I have the same message when I try to upload T3 System Plugin.
How can I do now ?
Dear elision,
Please, send us via email (use the form on our profile) the URL of your website and login details to Joomla's backend. We will check it as soon as possible.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Okay I did it now. Thank you.
Dear elision,
We fixed the problems. Your site is now live. Check your emails!
If you need something else, please let us know.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Thank you so much !! Very fast customer service ! I will recommand you !!
Thank you very much Nicolas. Have a nice night
Hi, I'm very interested in your template. I have a question: What could be compatibility problems with IE8? Thank you.
Dear cstudiocc,
Could you please give us a couple of days to check it? We are using a newer version of IE and we can't tell you for sure if it works with IE8 or not. However, we removed some animations and transitions and it must be compatible with IE8.
We will let you know in about 1-2 days.
Have a nice night.
Best regards, Hellas Design
Hi. Great theme! Quick question…
I have a client who is currently using Joomla (not sure which version yet) for their main site. They'd like to use your theme as a secondary mobile site. Any way to streamline the content to make their upload easier? In other words, when they make changes to site A can the changes be seen automatically and instantly on site B (your theme)?
Dear khanceps,
Thank you very much for your comment. Do you mean that the client:
a. wants to use the template on the same site with another template but make it visible only on smartphones/tablets or
b. wants to use it on another (second) website and have the same content of both sites?
For (a), you can check this page: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=619&t=799509&view=next There are some great 3rd party extensions that can give you the option to use different templates for desktops and smartphones/tablets. The only thing that you have to do, is to setup the template (modules, icons and menus) for smartphones/tablets (e.g. make them visible only on these devices). You could find more info on http://forum.joomla.org or Google
For (b), I am not sure that it's possible. You should ask your questions on http://forum.joomla.org
Best regards, Hellas Design
Also, before purchasing this (or another) template, I recommend you to check the solutions that you can find on Google or Joomla's forums with Joomla's built-in templates.
Thank you so much for your detailed response. I should explain with more details as well.
I'm using the Baker framework to create an iOS App based on client's website. The client is a newspaper company with a website based on the newspaper content. They want for their app, however, to look like your theme and not like their current website. They will keep the website and app site separate but the content will be identical (in other words, option B from your response).
Goals are:
1. make a native iOS app for the newspaper that draws content from HTML (done)
2. Find a visually appealing HTML theme 9done, your theme)
3. Find a way to make updating and uploading easier so as to eliminate coding two separate sites every time. I've seen this with WordPress and iOS apps but not Joomla. I will contact Joomla, as you suggested.
Thank you!
Dear khanceps,
I am really sorry but we can't help you with that. We have never used Joomla for projects like this one and we don't know if it's possible or not.
The best you can do, is to ask your questions on http://forum.joomla.org
Note that this is not an HTML theme. It's a Joomla Template , which means that it was built with PHP + HTML and not only HTML (regarding 2nd goal).
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Hellas Design
is it possible to completly disable the "responsive" layout?
i want it to act like the desktop one in every device.
Dear howit,
Could you please give us a couple of days to check it? There is an option but we don't know if the template looks ok on every device or not. We will test it and we will let you know.
Best regards, Hellas Design
I'm reinstalling the theme. I deleted the database, and am starting from scratch. I'm having trouble finding documentation for quickstart package install of magazino-1.8-quickstart-j33. I installed and I see the Magazino directory in templates, but does not show up in the Template Manager.
OK, just read through similar issues, will send you an email the URL of my website and login details to Joomla's Admin Panel. Thanks.
Dear digexart,
We have sent you an email. Please, reply to this email if you have any other questions.
Best regards, Hellas Design

Great Plains digs out of heavy snow, storm debrisBy CHET BROKAW
The Associated Press | October 06,2013AP Photo
Residents of Rapid City, S.D., shovel a driveway Saturday after a storm dumped up to 3½ feet of snow on the region.PIERRE, S.D. Breaking nearly century-old early autumn snowfall records, a storm system smothered South Dakotas scenic Black Hills in South Dakota with up to 3½ feet of wet, heavy snow, leaving residents the challenge of digging out.
But wintry weather wasnt the only thing delivered by the powerful cold front that crossed the Great Plains, as unusually strong thunderstorms brought heavy rain, hail and as many as nine tornadoes to Nebraska and Iowa. Fifteen people in northeast Nebraska were injured in a tornado Friday, while three died in a car accident on a snow-slicked road.
Forecasters said the front would eventually combine with other storms to make for a wild and probably very wet weekend for much of the central U.S. and Southeast.
Power outages and impassable roads plagued western South Dakota on Saturday. More than 25,000 people had lost power in the Black Hills area, and authorities were recruiting snowmobilers to help rescue about 80 motorists whod been stuck overnight.
Rapid City plow driver Jesse Curnow said Saturday morning things werent moving so smoothly in chest-high drifts after a record 21-inch snowfall. He couldnt get out of the business parking lot.
Im trapped. I can kind of move, but only a little bit, Curnow said by telephone from the cab of his truck.
Pennington County Emergency Management spokeswoman Alexa White said rescue efforts were slow-going, because the only way to get there is the snowmobiles or the Sno-Cats.
The plows have gotten stuck in the roads, she said.
Also stuck were four employees of the National Weather Services Rapid City office. Theyd been there since Friday, meteorologist David Carpenter said Saturday.
There is a 3-foot drift across the parking lot and no one has had the energy to shovel it out yet, he said.
Fridays snowfall 19 inches broke the previous one-day snowfall record for October by about nine inches; it was set on Oct. 19, 1919, Carpenter said. Rapid City saw an extra 2.5 inches overnight. Friday also surpassed the record for the entire month, 15.1 inches, also set in 1919.
National Weather Service meteorologist Katie Pojorlie said Lead, S.D., in the northern Black Hills had received 43½ inches of snow by 7:30 p.m. Friday and more had fallen overnight.
Thats not unheard of in the area, according to Donna Heaton, manager of the Terry Peak Lodge.
Last year in April, we got over 50 inches after the ski area closed. It would be nice to help the local economy if all the snow would fall when the ski area and the snowmobile trails were open, she told AP radio.
And in southwest North Dakota, about 10 inches of snow fell Friday, the National Weather Service said.
Interstate 90 was still closed in the western part of South Dakota on Saturday, and officials advised against travel elsewhere as white-out conditions kept snowplows from making much progress on roads until at least late in the day.
... Theres no place to go even if you do get your of your driveway and onto your street, state Transportation Secretary Darin Bergquist said in a statement.
Crews with Black Hills Power werent able to work overnight because of blowing snow, spokesman Mutch Usera said. The Black Hills rough terrain and downed tree branches were also hampering restoration efforts, he said.
Hopefully, the sun will shine a little bit and get a bit warmer. Thats going to make it easier, Usera said.
When temperatures warm up into the 50s by Monday, the snow melt could cause flooding, White said, but officials are just focusing on rescue efforts for now.
Meanwhile, National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Fuhs said as many as nine tornadoes touched down in Iowa and Nebraska between 6 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Friday. He called some of them quite powerful, and noted it was unusual to see so many and with such power during the fall.
Some of the most severe tornado damage was in Wayne, Neb., where at least 10 buildings were destroyed and five were heavily damaged, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Video showed a farm implement showroom and a grain elevator had been destroyed. Mayor Ken Chamberlain said at least 15 people were injured, with one person in critical condition.
In northwest Iowa, two dozen farmsteads were destroyed and 60 damaged. The storms cut a 35-mile path through the county, but there was only one report of a minor injury.
The cold front is moving slowly east and expanding south and will meet up with the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen. Pojorlie noted that the wet, heavy snow was more typical of a spring storm.
Normally, we get some snow events here in October that give people a little bit of a chance to learn how to drive in snow again, she said. This year, we got started with a blizzard.MORE IN This Just In(Editor's note: This is the first in a five-part series looking into the investigation of...

Sep 2nd 2010 1:25PM It's all about AH deposits. A 24 hour deposit is lower than a 48h, and 12h is lower than 24h.
The basic idea, if you expect your item to sell, deposit doesn't matter much as it gets returned when the item sells. However, if you're posting auctions that are likely to be undercut by competitors, your auction is more likely to return to your mail unsold, in which case you lose the deposit.
The advantage of posting shorter auctions is, in the event of your auction not selling, you lose less gold having it returned.

The Prophet Blog points to this Clarkson fan site which notes, "According to the news during the Microsoft Concert, Kelly said the new single will come out in August." It's also mentioned that Kelly tweeted that her album will be out in October, though we checked and there doesn't seem to be any such notation on her Twitter account.
At any rate, the Houston Press posted a comical review of Kelly's Microsoft gig:
"Kelly came to the stage wearing a tight, black-and-white striped dress. The Internet had told us she was fat; she's not. She's down-South thick and it's beautiful. The Texas native mentioned how happy she was to be back home, and opened with one of her many radio hits, 'Miss Independent.' Really, though, as the set went on we began to remember just how many hits she's had."
Note that KC's DJ had to put a black X over the Apple symbol on his MacBook Pro, given that it was a Microsoft event.
Kelly Clarkson — "Miss Independent" (at Houston Galleria)
Kelly Clarkson — "Since U Been Gone" (at Houston Galleria)
Kelly Clarkson — "Breakaway" (at Houston Galleria)
Kelly Clarkson — "Because Of You" (at Houston Galleria)
Kelly Clarkson — "My Life Would Suck Without You" (at Houston Galleria)

Imagine that you are driving to your good job when you are pulled over by men in a black Suburban. The ICE agents take you to court, where you are sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for entering the country illegally, then deported to the most crime ridden part of Cuidad Juarez.
Well, he shouldn't have broken the law, you say, and technically you'd be right. The trouble is that he came to this country 35 years ago, when he was 4 years old. Now, he will never again see his two young daughters who are American citizens, and is forced to live in a place where the police are street thugs and where the people speak a language he doesn't know. Somehow, that's not right.
I suspect we were all inspired by the story about the recent naturalization ceremony at West Aurora High School, where 184 people became American citizens. What impressed me was their stories, the stories of hard work, of decades of patient struggle, and of years wading through the mind-boggling bureaucracy.
Those stories of people who desperately seek freedom, and who appreciate the chance to become Americans so much that they can't wait to vote and serve on a jury, have to get through to you. Diversity strengthens our communities precisely because immigrants bring that kind of courage and perseverance with them.
But we should remember that the immigrants who don't get to stay have stories, too. We sometimes act as though they all have but one story, and that it involves swimming the Rio Grande or sneaking across the Arizona desert.
There's the story of the girl who was brought here with her parents on a visitors visa because her grandfather was desperately ill. They hadn't meant to overstay their visa, but they did. The girl doesn't know why because she was only 1 year old then, and has lived her whole life like an American. Unfortunately, she isn't eligible for a stay under the Deferred Action for Children Arrivals program because she once visited her grandmother in Mexico.
Then there's the girl whose mother had come to the U.S. illegally, found a husband, and had another child. When the girl's grandfather started abusing her, she fled north, intending to be reunited with her mother, who wants her. She was apprehended and is now in a shelter where she will probably stay until she is deported back to her grandfather.
So there are a lot of different stories, and each is as varied as the ones we heard at that naturalization ceremony. The people are just as courageous, just as determined to find freedom and a better life, and just as valuable as future citizens. Their stories are just as compelling, but of course they end differently.
The stories used to be about families seeking new opportunities. Then they were about desperate men trying to find work so they could send money back to their starving families. Now, the stories are mostly about sex trafficking or children running for their very lives.
No, we can't take them all in and, yes, the countries they're running from really need to solve their crime and corruption problems. But those who listen to these unsuccessful immigrants' stories quickly realize that they too possess the redeeming qualities of patriotic idealism and civic responsibility that many of our natural-born citizens seem to have lost.
Those qualities are the foundation of this country. Once, we embraced such immigrants, which is why we had the Statue of Liberty, the "Mother of Exiles," lifting her lamp to welcome the tired, the poor, and the homeless. Well, I realize times change, but if we no longer mean what it says on that plaque we should probably tear that statue down.

Much as we like to bitch here at GamesRadar, 2008 has been an outstanding year for games. We've seen a regular stream of releases almost every month, even during the normally dry summer, and a lot of them have been fantastic. Of course, more games on the market also means there's more horrible, misguided and just plain hideous box art to gawp at than ever before. True, it's not as consistently horrible as boxes were in the old 8- and 16-bit days, but the torrent of low-end shovelware we've seen this year – particularly on the DS and Wii – has taught us to feel entirely new kinds of pain. And really, what kind of gaming website would we be if we didn't share that pain with you?
Above: In case you can't be bothered to actually read the above headline or don't know what "of 2008" means, here's your stupid old Mega Man box. Now shut up
Please bear in mind that, with a few exceptions, we're not actually making any judgments about the games themselves - just their awful, awful boxes.
20. Twin Strike: Operation Thunder (Wii, released Oct. 28)
As much as we feel that "YEAAAH! HELICOPTERS! SHOOTIN' MISSILES AT THE GROUND! BOOM! ENH-ENH-ENH-ENH-ENH-ENH! NYEEEEOOOWRM! BSSSHHHHHH!" is a powerful and time-honored theme, we can't help but feel that this would look better if it were drawn on lined notebook paper.
19. Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3/360/PC, released Sept. 30)
We've seen some disastrous Homecoming dates in our time, but this dismal little scene might top them all.
18. Petz Rescue: Ocean Patrol (DS, released Oct. 28)
Jesus Christ. Assuming the point of the game is to rescue marine animals from that guy's rampaging dick, then kudos to you, box. You've done your job admirably.
17. Petz Dogz Fashion (DS, released June 17)
It's always been our position that a dog wearing sunglasses is automatically awesome, but then Petz had to go and tart up some dopey animals for the benefit of cooing airheads and we were proven wrong.
16. Shepherd's Crossing (PS2, released Aug. 19)
(Hey, going back to the well once or twice never hurt anybody.)
Rafa Nadal Tennis (DS, released June 30, 2007)
Somehow, we managed to overlook Rafa Nadal Tennis in our rundown of last year's worst box art. And we really don't know how it escaped our notice, because hey, look at the guy. You already want to Photoshop something into that hand, don't you? Yeah, you know you do. That's why we went ahead and did it for you:

Realism in Rawiya: Photographic Stories from the Middle East
18 February to 16 May 2015
Rawiya, which translates from Arabic to mean 'she who tells a story', is made up of artists who established their individual careers as photojournalists by working for news agencies and publications across the Arab world. By living and reporting in the region, they gained an insider's view of the extremities of these settings, whilst also observing how their reportage could become reframed in the international media's final edit of events.
Realism in Rawiya is rich with untold stories, from a Palestinian all-female auto racing team and transsexuals in Jerusalem, to cluster bomb survivors trying to rebuild their lives, Iranian mothers of martyrs who visit their son's grave twice a week and parents in Lebanon who continue to wait for the 17,000 missing to come home.

These Putco Pure LED Third Brake Lights are really unique. The Smoke almost metallic look is like no other and the LED lights are very bright, both the cargo light and brake light. Can easily be seen even in sunlight. Installation was super simple with only having to plug 2 wires where the original bulbs were. Water tight too! No water leaks at all. Quality is great! Well made and matches existing location exactly. The price matches it's uniqueness. Only gripe was the red LEDs are almost pink.

The LED light really "updates" the look of the truck and adds an element of fun, it's a cool feature and definitely more noticeable. The white cargo light feature does a reasonable job of lighting the bed at night. I would recommend this light to others interested in updating/replacing the factory light. Installation was simple,... Mike Phoenix, AZ

Medea Cunning and Cleverness Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Nurse: Ruthless is the temper of royalty: […]
How much better to live among equals. […]
Let me decline in a safe old age.
The very name of the "middle way" (21)
Wise words. You could argue that the Nurse's simplistic logic makes her the smartest cookie on stage. Euripides was not only famous for taking up the cause of women but slaves as well. With his dignified portrayal of the Nurse, he's doing both at the same time.
Creon: You [Medea] are a woman of some knowledge,
versed in many an unsavory skill. (35)
This is one of the first recognitions in the play that Medea is a skilled woman. Her knowledge of drugs and witchcraft give her power. This makes everybody around her nervous, especially since she has a bit of a temper.
Medea: Because I have a little knowledge,
some are filled with jealousy,
others think me secretive, and crazy. (36)
Here Medea says that she's discriminated against just because she's smart. This is undoubtedly true. Of course, she certainly doesn't help eliminate these prejudices when she uses her skills and cleverness to murder four people.

TUCSON - No. 13 sophomore Lindsey Weaver and No. 47 freshman Wanasa Zhou, members of the No. 8 University of Arizona women's golf team, have earned post-season honors from the Pac-12 Conference, it was announced on Thursday.
The league office announced its 2014 Pac-12 Women's Golf First-Team, Second-Team and Honorable Mention All-Conference honorees. Of the 11 conference teams who participate in the sport, nine programs were represented on the teams. Arizona was one of seven teams with multiple award winners.
Weaver was named first-team All-Pac-12 in her first season with the Wildcats. She earned a runner-up finish at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships last weekend and was Arizona's top finisher in five tournaments this season. She holds a stroke average of 72.20 with six top-10 finishes and seven top-20 finishes.
Weaver earned Arizona's 32nd first-team all-conference honor since its 1987 inception. The Wildcats have had a first-team all-league honoree four of the last five seasons. Additionally, 2014 marks the 28th season of Pac-10/12 women's golf and UA has had a first-team honoree in 21 of the 28 seasons.
Zhou was named Pac-12 Honorable Mention in her first season with the Wildcats. She earned her fifth top-20 finish with her 20th-place performance at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships last weekend. With a stroke average of 73.95, Zhou was Arizona's top finisher in three tournaments this season. She holds a season-low round of 69 with six rounds shot at or below par.
Arizona was selected for the NCAA Central Regional Championships, it was announced earlier this week. Oklahoma State will host the event at the Karsten Creek Golf Club, in Stillwater, Okla., May 8-10.
The Wildcats have earned 22 NCAA Regional selections since 1993 and have advanced to the NCAA Championships 18 times. Eight teams and two individuals will advance to the NCAA Championships from each regional. Three regional tournaments will be conducted May 8-10 to determine the championships field.
The NCAA Championships will be held May 20-23 at the Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. and will be hosted by the University of Tulsa.

TWO PART Poll for Brazil Biennial READ POST 1 FIRST!
Posted 05 March 2009 - 04:29 PM
Background: The IPS will hold its annual Board meeting in Belize on Thursday 12th of March. The number 1 topic to be discussed will be the next Biennial, planned for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 17-24 April 2010. Considering the general economic uncertainty around the world, it's important that we make the right decisions for the next Biennial. The most important, and most difficult, is to anticipate the number of participants. By far, the number one cost of any Biennial is the cost of accomodations, and we need to make sure that we make a reasonably accurate guess when it comes to how many participants to expect. We had about 140 in the Dominican Republic in 2006 and about 185 in Costa Rica in May 2008.
These are the assumptions for the poll: that we will be able to offer early registration just like we did for Costa Rica, with hopefully similar cost structure. For Costa Rica, early registration (prior to 15 Dec 2007) was US$1,225 per person for double occupancy, and US1,725 per person for single occupancy. After 15 Dec 2007, it was an additional US$150 in both cases.
Participants need to be IPS members. If you are not an IPS member and you wish to attend, all you need to do is sign up for an IPS membership ($45), and you are automatically eligible. For parties of 2 or more, only one person needs to be an IPS member, but they all need to be in the same household (i.e. same contact information).
This is a multiple choice poll. Please make TWO choices - first check one of #1, 2 or 3 OR #7 (#7 was added after the polling was underway, so is out of order)
AND then, please check either #4, 5 or 6.
Thank you!
And feel free to ask questions, or make comments!
EDIT - added choice #7 - see post 4 below.

Its very tempting....as well as all the palms, it would be worth it just to see the amazing gardens by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx.
If you've never heard of him, check out this link Burle Marx - he used mostly Brazilian native plants, including lots of palms, in a modernist, abstract style - very cool, one of the masters.
I'd recommend the IPS include a tour of some of his gardens as part of the Biennial.
Mild oceanic climate, with coastal exposure.
Summer: 12°C (53°F) average min, to 21°C (70°F) average daily max. Up to 40°C (104°F max) rarely.
Winter: 6°C (43°F) average min, to 13°C (55°F) average daily max. Down to 0°C (32°F) occasionally, some light frost.
Posted 05 March 2009 - 05:27 PM
I voted I plan to attend with a spouse/partner but really I'm not 100% sure. I don't want to skew the numbers as I know this is critical in planning so please take that one vote as a maybe. I certainly want to go but at this time I can't really say for sure.
Bermuda-Humid(77% ave), Subtropical Zone 11, no frost
Warm Season: (May-November): Max/Min 81F/73F
Cool Season: (Dec-Apr): Max/Min 70F/62F
Record High: 94F
Record Low: 43F
Rain: 55 inches per year with no dry/wet season
Posted 05 March 2009 - 06:08 PM
Mike - nobody is 100% certain what they are going to be doing 13 months from now, so I'm just looking for a general direction here. I realize that not everybody who is planning to attend will actually attend. There were a few people who had to cancel at the last minute just before the Costa Rica Biennial for instance.
Only pick #7 if you're just very uncertain!
Posted 06 March 2009 - 08:56 AM
To all who participated in the poll - thank you! And, I'd like to see more Forum members add their votes and comments. What I find interesting is that quite a few who never attended a Biennial intend to go to the one in Brazil. That's very promising! Needless to say, most Biennial participants (unfortunately) are not regulars here on PalmTalk (even though we will certainly try to change that...), but the poll here will give us some information, and if enough Forum members vote, we can use it to extrapolate the level of interest for Brazil.

I wish there was some way to say it was a two-part poll, without having to scroll down.

Not sure what you are referring to. I did make it clear in post #1 that it's a two part poll!

Well, yeah, but usually I do the poll first, maybe I'm dumb . . . . .
If you wanna do a two-part poll, maybe say in the header: TWO PART POLL. Or words to similar effect.
Kinda like a freeway sign that should say "dive into the dump next right."
Don't mean to be rude, but the initial post was as clear as, oh, Mississippi Mud. Pie or whatever.

New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
16 These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage. | 16 These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. |
17 But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, | 17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. |
18 that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." | 18 They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." |
19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. | 19 These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. |
20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, | 20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. |
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. | 21 Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. |
22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; | 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; |
23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. | 23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. |
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, | 24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- |
25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord , be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. | 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. |

[ Member listing ]10 Jan · Mon 2011Boring normal day on the farm!
Started the day as usual, up with the husband, made his lunch, checked to make sure the girls were up and running...signed any forgotten school papers, made sure a good lunch was made, start a load of laundry and a pot of coffee!! Drop Meghan at school; neighbor takes the high school age one and I pick up...what a deal!! Drive back in the driveway, close the gate, feed the chickens, let them out for the day...feed goats...check on temperature of greenhouse...sun is up...might be too hot. Switch some more laundry. Check email..process any orders...off to the great outdoors....today it was off to the bank to make deposits and then off to the Bashaws...discussed some business and then off to processing chickens...it was cold in there today!! I really don't usually mind the cold, but I don't think I will be complaining later this week when the temperatures rise just a little. Finished up just in time to pick up Sierra from school, then Meghan, then back in time to grab a bite to eat and bring in eggs for the day. I cooked a lot this weekend so we would have leftovers this busy week...and then took care of the sprouts, wheat grass and started a few flats for hydroponics and the greenhouse. I am going to add a few basil to the hydroponics operation...would love to provide basil year around along with the head lettuce. Started several herbs too for the new herb garden...need a lot of thyme....hahahah..get it time...okay, maybe I need to get back to farming because I definitely will never make it as a comedian. Moonstruck signing off!!

Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Definition
Soft tissue sarcoma is a disease in which cancer cells are found in soft tissue in the body. Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, connective tissue, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and joint tissue. There are many types of soft tissue sarcoma.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues including the lymph nodes. Cancer that has invaded the lymph nodes can then spread to other parts of the body.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but is probably a combination of genetics and environment.

Just got these pants and love them but the butt area is starting to rip. I was just wondering if that's normal with Holden clothes or if I did something to rip them.

I just recently got this jacket in the blue orange combo. I really love it and get a lot of compliments on it. It's nice that it isn't super marshmallow looking for a down jacket, but its still super warm. I ordered a medium and it fits pretty true to size. I am 5'7" and about 135 lbs, so I can still shred comfortably while wearing it.

'X Factor' Tension: Simon Cowell Tells Demi Lovato To Sit In 'Naughty Chair' (EXCLUSIVE DETAILS)
Demi Lovato has done more than ease into the vacated X Factor judge's chair -- she's also assumed Nicole Scherzinger's role as head honcho Simon Cowell's chief antagonist.
The 19-year-old's first day of judging the hit Fox show in Austin, Texas, involved a day of put downs - not just reserved for contestants. She put Cowell, 52, in his place too.
A source at the auditions told Celebuzz: "Demi has really been brave with Simon, constantly reminding him how young she is and how old he is.
"At one point she told the audience, 'He's just old and impatient.'"
Later, Cowell was joking about a contestant butchering one of Lovato's own songs to which the "Skyscraper" songstress snapped back: "At least I have a song Simon!"
Cowell responded, "Demi, I think you need to sit in the naughty chair for a few minutes today."
The source told Celebuzz that it was nothing more than "playful banter" and "Simon thinks Demi is hilarious."
It wasn't their first only of the day. As Celebuzz reported, Lovato called out her boss for being over the hill.
"Within a few minutes of judging starting, Demi called Simon 'grandpa' because he's seemingly decided to play the role of Cupid for her," someone in the audience told Celebuzz.
Meanwhile, Lovato's fellow new judge Britney Spears took to Twitter on Thursday to dispel reports that she walked off stage during the middle of the auditions after a budding contestant did a rendition of her hit song, "Hold It Against Me."
Spears, 30, wrote: "#Britneywalksoff??? LOL was just taking a little break people. I am having the BEST time!!!"

Gifts for New Moms Like Kate Middleton
The world has been buzzing for months about the Royal Baby and I'm no exception! Finally a little prince was born on July 22, 2013 at 4:24 pm London time. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz. (where did Kate Middleton hide him?) and he and his mum (!) are said to be doing well. New dad Prince William said, "We couldn't be happier." It's been said he bought a little teddy bear for the next in line to the crown.
There are always the old standbys of a day at the spa or gift certificates to local take-out restaurants. Sure, what new mom wouldn't love a day to relax and get a mani/pedi. But who wants to give an ordinary gift? You want your gift to be one she'll really love and remember.
A Day of House Cleaning
Birthday Box
The actual birthday box is full of a lot of big moments for new parents, and it can be easy to lose track of things that are unrelated to the newborn. Collect some newspaper clippings, photos, notes, and any other mementos from that day. Years from now, parents will love to be able to look back and remember the day that it all began.

US posts rewards for 5 Haqqani Network leaders
Yesterday, the US State Department's Rewards for Justice Program posted new rewards for five members of the Haqqani Network, the dangerous Taliban subgroup that operates in eastern, central, northern, and southern Afghanistan and is based in Pakistan.
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the operational leader of the network, had his existing reward raised from $5 million to $10 million. This puts him in the top tier of wanted global jihadists. The other jihadists who have a $10 million reward offered for their capture are: Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, a.k.a. Abu Dua, the emir of the Islamic State; Mullah Muhammad Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban; Hafiz Saeed, the head of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba; and Yasin al Suri, the chief of al Qaeda's network in Iran. Only al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri has a higher bounty, at $25 million.
Rewards for Justice also posted new rewards of up to $5 million each for Khalil al Rahman Haqqani, Yahya Haqqani, Abdul Rauf Zakir, and Aziz Haqqani. Three of them have been designated by the US as global terrorists, and one has not been mentioned by the US in the past.
Khalil al Rahman Haqqani, Siraj's uncle, was added to the US' list of terrorists in February 2011. Khalil is a key fundraiser, financier, and operational commander for the Haqqani Network, and has been crucial in aiding and supporting al Qaeda's military, the Lashkar al Zil, or Shadow Army.
Qari Rauf Zakir, the head of the Haqqani Network's suicide operations in Afghanistan as well as the group's operational commander in Kabul, Takhar, Kunduz, and Baghlan provinces, was designated a global terrorist on Nov. 5, 2012. Zakir is considered to be a close advisor to Siraj, and also runs the network's training program.
Yahya Haqqani, a senior leader who has served as acting emir as well as a key financier and logistician, was designated on Feb. 5, 2014. He has close ties to al Qaeda, and often serves as a liaison with al Qaeda operatives in the region. He also supports Qari Rauf Zakir's operations.
Unlike the other four Haqqani Network leaders, Aziz Haqqani has not been designated as a global terrorist by the US government. He is described as "Sirajuddin's brother and is involved in logistical operations and command decisions involving cross-border attacks on ISAF and Afghan forces."
Additionally, Aziz "also plays a key role in HQN's [Haqqani Network's] operations in Kabul and in major attacks throughout Afghanistan." This means that Aziz is a senior leader in the Kabul Attack Network.
Background on the Haqqani Network
The Haqqani Network is a powerful Taliban subgroup that operates primarily in the Afghan provinces of Khost, Paktia, and Paktika, but also has an extensive presence in Kabul, Parwan, Logar, Wardak, Ghazni, Zabul, Kandahar, Baghlan, Kunduz, and Takhar. In addition, the network has expanded its operations into the distant Afghan provinces of Badakhshan, Faryab, and Kunar, according to ISAF press releases that document raids against the network. In central Afghanistan, the Haqqani Network coordinates suicide operations and complex assaults with groups such as the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, al Qaeda, Hizb-i-Islami Gulbuddin, and Lashkar-e-Taiba, in what ISAF used to call the Kabul Attack Network.
The Haqqani Network has close links with al Qaeda, and its relationship with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISID) has allowed the network to survive and thrive in its fortress stronghold of North Waziristan. The terror group has also extended its presence into the Pakistani tribal agency of Kurram.
In North Waziristan, the Haqqanis control large swaths of the tribal area and run a parallel administration with courts, recruiting centers, tax offices, and security forces. In addition, the Haqqanis have established multiple training camps and safe houses that are used by al Qaeda leaders and operatives and by Taliban foot soldiers preparing to fight in Afghanistan.
The Haqqani Network has been implicated in some of the biggest terror attacks in the Afghan capital city of Kabul, including the January 2008 suicide assault on the Serena Hotel, the February 2009 assault on Afghan ministries, and the July 2008 and October 2009 suicide attacks against the Indian Embassy.
The terror group collaborated with elements of Pakistan's military and intelligence service in at least one of these attacks. American intelligence agencies have confronted the Pakistani government with evidence, including communications intercepts, which proved the ISID's direct involvement in the 2008 Indian Embassy bombing. [See LWJ report Pakistan's Jihad, and Threat Matrix report Pakistan backs Afghan Taliban, for additional information on the ISID's complicity in attacks in Afghanistan and the region.]
In the summer and fall of 2011, the US and the Afghan government linked the Haqqani Network and Pakistan's intelligence service to the June 28, 2011 assault on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and the Sept. 13, 2011 attack on the US Embassy and ISAF headquarters. Shortly after the September attack, Admiral Michael Mullen, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accused the Haqqani Network of being one of several "[e]xtremist organizations serving as proxies of the government of Pakistan."
In May 2014, the Haqqani Network orchestrated the release of five senior Taliban commanders who were being held by the US at Guantanamo Bay. All five Taliban commanders have extensive ties to al Qaeda. The five leaders were exchanged for Bowe Bergdahl, a US soldier who abandoned his post in eastern Afghanistan and was held by the Haqqani Network for five years. The Taliban hailed the release of their five leaders as a major victory.

um, uh ... *grin* ... this is just a PIYF heads-up
On the front page, you say "Siraj Haqqani's reward is raised to $10"
(I'm sure he'd be highly insulted if that were the case.)
