How to gain weight? | related questions Originally Published: March 1, 1994 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: August 9, 2011 |
Share this |
I am a 22 year old male. I would like your advice as to how to increase my weight. I am extremely thin, and would like to put on weight for both appearance and strength purposes.
I believe that thin people have a very fast metabolic rate. Is there any way of slowing this rate down? Does it fall naturally with age? I have often been told that I should lift weights, but cannot find time on a regular basis to do so. I do, however, have time to do push-ups at home.
Anyway, I'd much appreciate it if you could give me guidelines as to how to increase weight, especially through diet. What kinds of food should I be eating? How many times a day should I eat? How big should the meals be? I hear the soybean is very nutritious — is this true; if so, what could I eat or drink that contains soy?
—Fatty and Skinny?
Dear Fatty and Skinny,
It seems that men are bombarded with messages about being muscular, lean, and ripped. Before you start to make some changes, consider doing a little self-exploration. Do you recognize that body size, shape, muscularity, or weight do not determine your identity as a man? Do you know men who have lots of muscles, yet who are not happy? What's your level of awarness related to the idea that who you are is more than just your body? If you are truly interested in making some changes, consider working toward accepting your current appearance first and know that making changes to your weight in either direction takes considerable energy. If you are interested in adding muscle, you can anticipate that it will take effort, time, and a focused plan.
Your assumption about metabolism playing a role is correct. A person's basal metabolism represents the minimum energy expended to keep a resting, awake, body alive. The energy used in basal metabolism depends primarily on lean body mass. Other factors that influence your basal metabolism include: the amount of body surface (the greater the area, the greater the heat loss); gender (males average higher energy rates because of greater lean body mass); body temperature; thyroid hormone levels (higher levels increase metabolic rate); aspects of nervous system activity; age (metabolic rate falls as we age); nutritional state (eating less slows metabolic rate); pregnancy (metabolic rate increases); caffeine and tobacco use (metabolic rate increases).
You seem to be on the right track in terms of what you can do yourself to gain weight. The reason people suggest weight lifting is because it has a tendency to add muscle mass. If you are not sure how to lift or have concerns about fitting training into your schedule, you may want to invest in a personal trainer to learn the basics. If you are a Columbia student, you can contact Dodge Fitness Center to schedule a consultation; and you can use Columbia's free CU Move initiative. CU Move encourages members of the Columbia community to engage in active lives that include regular physical activity. The program provides participants with motivation and incentives to be active throughout the year. Additionally, for tips on weightlifting, check out the list of related questions below.
As far as food choices, in addition to meeting with a nutritionist or registered dietitican for guidance you might try gradually increasing your consumption of energy-dense foods, especially those higher in protein such as low fat peanut butter, nuts (cashews and peanuts), lean cuts of chicken, turkey, and fish such as salmon and tuna. The Choosemyplate.gov site contains some protein suggestions which may be beneficial, you can check out to tools on Columbia's Get Balanced website, and make an appointment for a free nutrition consultation at Medical Services by calling x4-2284 or logging into Open Communicator.
Remember that anyone undertaking a weight changing venture can expect body composition and size to change gradually. And, while you're waiting for the effects of your efforts to kick in, remember to flex all of your muscles — your heart, soul, compassion, humor, patience, and intelligence — you just might find that you are already bulging and ripped.

Product description
On a peat and heather island off the west coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother Nora take refuge in the large mouldering house of their ancestors and tell each other stories.Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear, like who her father was - variously Jimmy, Jack, or Ernie. Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, the land of cakes and William Wallace, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and the Germans (more real than the Luxemburgers).But strange things are happening. Why is Effie being followed?Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?

Customer reviews
By Marianne Vincent 02 Sep 2014
Emotionally Weird is the third stand-alone novel by award-winning British author, Kate Atkinson. It is the early seventies and twenty-one-year-old Euphemia Andrews (Effie) goes home to the family's summer holiday house on a remote west coast Scottish island where she shares stories with her mother Eleanora (Nora). Effie relates recent events in her life at University in Dundee; Nora, at first unforthcoming, begins to reveal facts about Effie's true heritage (like her real surname), eventually relating the history of the Stuart-Murray family, including the death of the aunt after whom Effie was named. In Dundee, while trying to meet essay deadlines for her English degree and thinking about leaving the incredibly lazy Bob, Effie becomes convinced she is being followed: there's this woman in a red coat; and a middle-aged ex-cop turned PI named Chick driving a white Cortina keeps turning up. There are a few deaths that may or may not be natural; several people around her believe someone is trying to kill them; her friend Terri is looking for a lost yellow dog; her tutor's son is released from prison. Effie relates the events at Dundee like a novel, with Nora interrupting to critique her characters, plot and dialogue. Similarly, Effie interjects into Nora's story-telling.
Atkinson's character descriptions (and there is a large cast) are marvellously evocative. The description of the English tutorial (obviously taken from Atkinson's own experience) is at once blindingly accurate and hilariously funny. The ongoing commentary on creative writing and the (over-)analysis of literature is clever and amusing. The atmosphere of early seventies is expertly conveyed. This is effectively a story (or several) within a story within a story, and Atkinson manages to include snippets of poetry, a play, a medieval fantasy saga, a crime novel, a metaphysical epic tome, and a Mills & Boon style romance, each printed in its own appropriate text style. While Effie's story does seem to ramble on a bit, drawing criticism from Nora, Emotionally Weird has plenty of humour (some of it quite black) and enough intrigue to keep the reader engaged to the final pages. Another excellent dose of Atkinson.
Review quote
"The lustre, energy and panache of her writing are as striking as ever...Funny, bold and memorable" -- Helen Dunmore The Times "Beautifully written...brimming with quirky characters and original storytelling. Kate Atkinson has struck gold with this unique offering" Time Out "Sends jolts of pleasure off the page...Atkinson's funniest foray yet...it is a work of Dickensian or even Shakespearean plenty" The Scotsman "Her novels are remarkable both in and of themselves, and as evidence of an important emerging body of work from a brilliant and profoundly original writer" Daily Telegraph "With just two novels, Atkinson has added new colour to the British literary landscape" Guardian
Editorial reviews
As in Behind the Scenes at the Museum and Human Croquet, Atkinson once again uses all her sorcery with language to bedazzle the reader. In essence this is a simple story. Nora and Effie (who might be mother and daughter) are living on an otherwise deserted Scottish island. They are the last of the line of Stuart-Murrays. Student Effie is recuperating from a nasty bout of flu and to relieve the tedium of rainy days and long, dark nights, they tell each other stories which might, or might not, be true. Nora's, brief and uninformative to begin with, are about the family's past ('Grand Guinol, with a pinch of Greek Tragedy'). Effie's graphic, satirical stories are set in the 1970s and revolve around student life and her shiftless friends - interspersed with chunks of her Writing Assignment, which rapidly turns into a crime novel. As always, the story is overflowing with invention, marvellous descriptions, and laugh-aloud jokes. This is, in fact, a novel with a life of its own - a book one could easily be persuaded 'wrote itself' - though on reflection it is carefully controlled, and has its own logic. And at the end all is revealed and all loose ends firmly knotted. There are many loose ends. Who is Effie's father? Who, indeed, her real mother? Who were Nora's parents? Who is following Effie when she's in Dundee and for what reason? Why are so many old people dying in the local retirement home? Don't worry, all will become transparent before the last page is - reluctantly - turned. (Kirkus UK)

Central Florida player dies during conditioning drills
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A Central Florida wide receiver died Tuesday after voluntary strength and conditioning drills, the day before spring practice was set to begin.
Police said there was no foul play or obvious cause for redshirt freshman Ereck Plancher's late morning collapse. UCF athletic director Keith Tribble said the players had been lifting weights, then ran for about 10 minutes.
After they huddled and broke, Plancher, of Naples, took a knee in obvious distress, Tribble said. UCF trainers on site immediately provided CPR and the player was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was pronounced dead just before noon.
"I know that I speak for our entire UCF family in saying that our thoughts and prayers are with Ereck's family on such a tragic day," Tribble said. "We offer our full support to Ereck's family, teammates, classmates and friends to cope with this unexpected loss."
Tribble said Plancher had passed a physical. The practice was inside an air-conditioned building, but the weather outside wasn't bad. The National Weather Service said it topped out at about 78 degrees in the area, with about 50 percent humidity.
UCF's spring practices weren't scheduled to start until Wednesday, but Tribble said 82 players were there for conditioning. He could not say who led the practice, but said there was no concern it was not compliant with NCAA rules.
Plancher, 5-foot-10 and 184 pounds, was a two-time letterman at Lely High School in Naples. He majored in business and was a high school National Honor Society member.
"Medical staff did an incredible job, my team of officers did an incredible job trying to save this young man's life," UCF police chief Richard Beary said. "It's just a very sad day, very tragic."
In memory of my brother Michael, who gave me my love of sports. I will miss you!

New Obama Record: 3 Years of $3 a Gallon Gas
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On May 25, 2014 @ 1:25 pm In The Point | 15 Comments
May 20 marks the 1,245th straight day that the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline costs more than $3 a gallon, according to AAA data. That's nearly three-and-a-half years above $3 a gallon.
USA Today reported last September that, for the first time ever, gas prices had been higher than $3 a gallon for 1,000 consecutive days – beginning Dec. 23, 2010, through Sept. 17, 2013. Unfortunately, that awful record streak of sustained highs has not been broken. Gas prices dipped in the fall, down to $3.179 (Nov. 12), but surged again.
The national average on May 20, 2014, for regular gas was $3.642 a gallon, slightly less than the $3.653 a gallon average one year earlier.
One of Obama's agendas was to raise the price of energy to make it more expensive for Americans to use. This environmental agenda has been met. Similar price increases in food have forced Americans to cut back and make do with less.
Fewer families will be able to afford to travel and to feed their families so that the Big Green environmental movement will come closer to meeting its anti-human goals.
This is what Obama has done to America's working families.

European tour golfer David Howell believes Europe's Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley should select Stephen Gallacher as one of his three wildcard picks for this year's showdown.
The 39-year-old finished one shot ahead of Gallacher to claim the runner-up spot in last weekend's Italian Open. Had Gallacher won that tournament he would have guaranteed an automatic spot in the team.
But Howell insists the rookie, who is in line to become the only Scotsman in the European team in this year's event at Gleneagles, has earnt his place with his performances this year.
"I've known Steven for 20 years and obviously my job was to play as well as I can for myself and my team of people," Howell told Sky Sports News HQ.
"Unfortunately it was just one shot shy for Stephen but it was a tremendous effort by him to hit 65 in the final round.
"To miss out after a year-long race by one shot on one week is an incredible stat but that's the way it played out in the end."
When asked if McGinley should select Gallacher, Howell replied: "I would yes – that pretty much sums up my opinion.
"I think Stephen is in good form and he's got great form around the centenary course at Gleneagles. I think he's finished in the top 10 seven times – he knows that course like the back of his hand.
"He's a long-hitter and Gleneagles is a pretty long course and at that time of year length is always an advantage.
"So for me Stephen deserves his place in the side."

by Meredith Krebs Portable picture-taking power Panasonic managed to pack loads of useful features into this tiny, pocket-friendly camera. The Lumix DMC-ZS15 boasts a powerful 16X optical zoom that's great for snapping crisp close-ups of famous landmarks from a distance or your kids from across the park. You can record detailed high-definition videos, too, and you can take full advantage of the zoom lens when shooting in movie mode. Optical image stabilization reduces blurring caused by a shaky hand. There's even a dedicated active mode for keeping handheld video shots rock-solid. Take great people shots The 'ZS15's ultra wide-angle lens lets you take in more of the scene in front of you like a group portrait of your kid's entire soccer team. This camera's face detection function automatically finds up to 15 faces in your frame and optimizes the focus and exposure settings for pleasing results. It prevents the blurring of faces that can happen when a camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject. The 'ZS15 also keeps faces from appearing too dark when shooting indoors or against a light source. Automatic settings make snapping photos a breeze When you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and let the camera choose for you.

Great automatic and creative features Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 6/21/2012 9:12:00 AM The Lumix DMC-ZS15 makes for a great point-and-shoot. Like many cameras, it comes with a variety of settings to help you take better pictures smile detection, image stabilization, light settings, etc. But thanks to its "Intelligent Automatic" (iA) mode, you don't have to keep all of those options straight. In iA mode, the camera did a great job choosing the right features to optimize the shots. All I had to do was, well, point and shoot. I also like the creative settings on the camera. I could go with a retro look, high-contrast black and white, sepia tone, soft focus, and few other cool effects. It was an easy way to get a more "artistic" shot. Which just made the whole session more fun. And I had some unusual images ready to upload as soon as I took them.

Laconia man indicted on three felony drug charges
LACONIA — A Belknap County grand jury has indicted a Meredith Center Road man for three felony drug charges relating to a incident where he was found slumped over in his car while in the downtowon parking garage.
On April 7, 2014, police said at 11:30 a.m. an officer found Kory MacDonald, 28, slumped while sitting in a white Subaru with what was allegedly heroin in his lap and a large knife in the center console.
When he exited the car, the officer allegedly found a needle in the front seat.
MacDonald has been indicted for one count of possession of heroin, one count of falsifying physical evidence for attempting to hid a spoon, a lighter, and a while baggy while being questioned by police, and for one count of being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon.
MacDonald is being held on $20,000 cash bail imposed by 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division Judge Jim Carroll following his appearance there the day after his arrest.
An indictment is not indicative of guilt or innocence but a consensus by an independent grand jury that enough evidence exists to warrant a trial.
MacDonald is also currently on parole for a 2012 felony drug conviction. He served one year of a two year sentence.

Kale Poland becomes one the few to ever complete the Peak 500 mile Ultra Marathon
LACONIA — "Overall I would definitely do it again," Kale Poland of MC Cycle & Sport told the interviewer from WCSH-TV of Portland, Maine, just days after becoming just the fourth man to finish the Peak 500 Ultra Marathon.
The event, which began on May 22, consists of hiking 50 circuits of a rugged 10-mile course up and down Joe's Mountain in Pittsfield, Vermont in less than 10 days.
Poland, whose business card reads "Kale like the veggie, Poland like the country," said that since "entering a triple triathlon on a whim, I've always had a passion for this kind of thing." In 2012, he finished the Deca Triathlon in Mexico, completing 10 triathlons in 10 days by swimming 24 miles, running 262 miles and cycling 1,120 miles.
"You can't really prepare for this physically," Poland remarked. "You have to be inside your own head and suffer. It's a mental game."
The Peak 500 Marathon is run on property owned by Joe DeSena, a Wall Street investor and endurance athlete who created "The Death Race," a 24-hour competition over obstacles and the more popular, less demanding "The Spartan Race," also run over obstacles. Poland said that 50 times around the course on Joe's Mountain is the equivalent of climbing the 29,029 feet to the summit of Mount Everest four-and-a-half times. Since the Peak 500 Marathon began five years ago only four competitors have finished, two this year.
"It's pretty bare bones event," Poland said. This year there were five entrants, three of whom failed to finish. "The attrition rate is huge. You're on your feet between 18 and 20 hours a day and you never get a full night's sleep."
Poland found himself competing against Nick "Storm Trooper" Bautista, who after dropping out on his first try spent the year in planning and preparation. An account of the event, written by Margaret Schlachter for the blog "Dirt In Your Skirt," noted that he plotted his strategy, prescribed his diet, rationed his sleep and equipped himself to the teeth with the latest gear. "He looked like he was going into battle," Poland recalled. With assistance from a pair of pacers, he never wavered from his plan. Schlachter likened him to a machine.
With a small Jansport backpack, Poland arrived alone with a pair of Sketchers that he abandoned for sneakers from Walmart midway through the event and an assortment of food that would turn a nutritionist pale . "Nothing healthy," he confessed," but lots of dense caloric intake. I don't think you can eat enough." And he had no plan. "It's too much to think about all at once," Poland explained. "You just take it day-by-day."
But, Poland did attract a crew of supporters. "The locals just helped me out," he said. "I had no idea who these people were. Now they're my best friends." He said that there was always someone to bring him food or Red Bull when he needed it. "Without their help I would have had a hard time finishing," he confessed.
Although it rained heavily the first two days, Poland recalled that "after the first 100 miles I thought 'this is great.'" He said that first two nights he slept about four hours, but then three, then two until he was resting an hour every 20 miles. "When I got sloppy and staggering," he said, "I slept."
Poland said that he covered the last 350 miles "absolutely, completely solo" and found himself hallucinating on the last two laps around the course. "It's definitely a mental thing," he said. He finished in time to enjoy the barbecue set out for contestants in shorter races and to welcome Bautista, who arrived a few hours later.
Poland estimated that he shed at least 10 pounds. "My ring doesn't fit on my finger, my legs are smaller and my clothes fit differently," he said. At the same time, his feet are much the worse for wear. Not a week has passed since the event and he is still wearing sandals on his swollen feet and taking anti-biotics to chase an infection. "Right now I'm just recovering," he smiled. "But, it was a confidence builder."
Poland said that he is eying the Appalachian Trail, expecting to go from one end to the other in about 45 days, as well as the Long Trail, 275 miles through Vermont, which will take less than a week. "There's something about covering a large amount of mileage," he remarked.

Defense trying to discredit witness at Tilton rape trial
LACONIA — Lawyers for alleged rapist Thomas Gardner spent most of yesterday reviewing accuser Mark Corente previous criminal record, getting him to confirm that he has a previous conviction for heroin possession in 2007, and calling 9-1-1 to report to police that someone had a gun when it was untrue in 2014.
Corente, who spent most of the day on the witness stand, admitted that he wasn't a perfect person and was initially hostile to many of the questions about his record asked by defense attorney Amy Ashworth.
At one point he said he wanted to "plead the Fifth" but since they were crimes for which he had already been convicted, it didn't apply.
When she asked him about giving a false name to a hospital emergency room to get out of paying a $75 bill, he smiled.
Corente is one of two people who said they saw what they thought was a child performing fellatio on Gardner while all four were at the former Sherryland (mobile home) Park in Tilton on January 17, 2013.
Corente and Joseph Ersnt said they were there looking for a trailers to buy when they saw Gardner's Volkswagen and went up to him to ask if he was the owner.
Gardner has said that he and the young man, who was in his care, had gone to the park to see if they could see their house because some trees had been cut down in logging operation.
Yesterday, Corente testified that he pulled up about eight feet away from Gardner's car and when Ernst got out of the passenger seat to approach Gardner, he saw a black head pop up into the passenger seat. Until he saw the disabled man head, he said he thought Gardner, who he said he doesn't know, was alone in the car.
Corente described the alleged victim as having jet black hair and large teeth. He said he would never forget the victim's "smile."
Physicians testified Wednesday that the alleged victim is short, has scoliosis, as well as a number of neurological problems. They said he has jet black hair and large teeth that show when he smiles. The alleged victim is also largely uncommunicative but does make sounds and occasionally words. All described him as hard to control and very active.
Ashworth also challenged Corente about when he first saw Gardner's car and where he was when he saw it.
A Tilton Police detective testified Tuesday that Corente and Ernst told them Gardner's car passed theirs on his way to the place where he and the alleged victim were parked. Corente said yesterday that he first saw Gardner's car after he and Ernst had looked at two trailers and were driving up a buff in the park.
Corente testified that he called 911 when he saw what he says was a sex act between Gardner and what he thought was a child but the call was disconnected. Corente said he gave either 911 or Wiggin a plate number but it was wrong by one number.
A tape of the call indicates it was disconnected and Tilton Police Dispatcher Terri Wiggin testified she dispatched all available officers to look for the car while she tried to recover Corente's phone number from 911. She said she called back but there was no answer.
She said she never heard from him again.
Corente also said after he was disconnected he saw the police in a different trailer park and flashed his lights but didn't stop. He testified that he wanted to get home and call police back from a land line.
He said that about an hour later he went down Route 132 (Sanborn Road) to take Ernst home and saw Gardner's car parked in the accused's driveway.
Corente testified he called Detective Nate Buffington.
Buffington testified Tuesday and said he spoke to Corente on the phone and that he told him he saw Gardner's car parked on Route 132.

Gilford man waives arraingment on charges he displayed disorderly conduct at school board meeting; Sisti to defend
LACONIA — Three misdemeanor B complaints for disorderly conduct have been filed against William Baer, the parent of a ninth grade student who objected to the Gilford School District making "Nineteen Minutes" a book by N.H. author Jodi Picoult mandatory reading.
Each of the three complaints obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division offers a different theory of Baer's alleged misconduct.
The first charges he purposely caused a breach of the peace by disrupting a Gilford School Board meeting after "having been asked to desist by School Board Chair Sue Allen."
The second states that Baer "refused to comply with a lawful order of a peace officer, to-wit James Leach" to move from a public place while a third version states that he "purposely caused a breach of the peace by disrupting" the school board meeting after being asked to desist by Allen.
Baer verbally interrupted another resident who was speaking at the Gilford School Board meeting on May 5.
According to two separate videos of the meeting, both posted online, Baer had already spoken to the board at the time of the incident, trying to get them to read aloud the waiver form regarding the book and it's possible disturbing content that had been sent to parents.
Allen refused to read the waiver and continually reminded Baer that he had a total of two minutes to make any comments he wished.
Seemingly frustrated, Baer returns to his seat.
A different parent — the mother of a ninth grade boy — then said she was appalled by the book and the lack of information about its content sent home to parents.
Speaking next, from a standing position in front of his seat, Joe Wernig agreed that the School Board and the administration may have made a mistake about the notification but then took the position that people like Baer and the woman who spoke after him would be dictating what books the School District could teach.
While Wernig was talking, Baer loudly commented from his seat that Wernig's assertion was "absurd". Over the verbal protestations of Allen, who keep saying "please sir, please sir," Baer continued to talk.
One view shows Superintendent Ken Hemingway throwing his hands up in a brief motion of frustration and then motioning with one hand toward the direction where Lt. Leach was standing off to the side.
After a few seconds, Leach came over to where Baer was seated and Baer said to the board, "Why don't you have me arrested, that's a real civics lesson."
While, Allen attempted to recognize the next person who wanted to speak, Leach asked Baer to leave the room a few times before grabbing his hand and leading him out his seat, which was in the middle of second to last row in the Gilford Elementary School Library. Leach escoreted Baer out of the room and handcuffed him with his hands behind his back in the hallway. A video shows Leach leading Baer to his cruiser and then removing the cuffs and recuffing him with his hands in the front after Baer told him he had a pinched nerve in his neck.
Baer has retained attorney Mark Sisti to represent him and has an arraignment day of June 17.
"We very much look forward to litigating this matter," Sisti said yesterday. "We have waived arraignment and entered not guilty pleas to all three complaints."

Block the Gay Gag RuleI recently got this email from Allout:"Dear Lena,This week, millions saw this dramatic photo of a gay man beaten by neo-Nazi extremists in Kiev, Ukraine. It's shocking, but the anti-gay movement doesn't stop there. As early as this week, Ukraine's legislature is expected to vote in favor of new laws that will make it illegal to be gay or lesbian in public.President Viktor Yanukovych is the person with the power to stop the law in its tracks. He's been trying to forge a "special alliance" with the European Union for years and this Friday an EU delegation focusing on human rights will visit Ukraine to advance the alliance process.40,000 Europeans have already signed on to tell Yanukovych to block this atrocious law. But that's just not enough - we need to double that number before the meeting on Friday. If we don't push him to speak out now, an entire generation will be forced into the shadows.Will you help us reach 100,000 signers around the world i

MegaDaffy's Full Metal Panic Review | 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful. |
Sound familiar? It should because that's the basic premise of the popular anime series "Full Metal Panic!" This series was dubbed and released in the states by ADV Films, who have also released hits like Azumanga Daioh and DN Angel. The series is not clearly rated, but I think this would get something equivalent to a PG-13. This series also falls under the genres of Action and Comedy.
The story behind the series is this; Sgt. Sousuke Sagara, who is voiced by Chris Patton, is assigned to protect high school student Kaname Chidori who is voiced by Luci Christian, at all costs from the enemies that want her for her special power, which is that she knows about the "dark technology" of the mechs that Sousuke and his fellow comrades use.
The comedy side of the series is that outside of military battles, Sousuke knows next to nothing about what Kaname calls a "normal, peaceful life", which usually leads to him getting in trouble. Luckily, Kaname's classmate Shinji Kazama, who is voiced by Greg Ayres, knows a lot about military stuff and lives a normal, peaceful life as well, starts a friendship with Sousuke. The rest of the story is mostly described in the intro paragraph. I thought the storyline was interesting and really cool because I think the idea for the storyline is awesome. I don't know, I just kind of enjoy this type of "mech/romance/comedy" story.
I thought the drawing in this series was excellently done and meets expectations for the studio that animated Full Metal Panic. That studio was Gonzo Digimation, The Japanese studio that animated popular series like "Last Exile" and "Real Bout High School". I think the drawing is good because of the way the animators made the characters and their emotions; Blushes actually look like blushes not sweat drops or a couple red lines under your eyes. Plus the environments were well drawn as well, while maybe not the best backgrounds I've ever seen they still looked good and near realistic.
The music is also good as well because it matches what is happening in the scene. An example is if something is bad is happening, they'll play eerie, dramatic music in the background and if it's one of the more lighter scenes, they play more upbeat, silly music. The music in the opening is also good but I don't find it has anything to do with the series because it's more or less a pop song with various scenes from the series and opening credits. The same goes for the credits sequence where there's a softer but still pop-sounding song with various pictures of the character Kaname next to the U.S. and Japanese cast and credits.
The voiceovers are great as well; they are usually an important part for many anime fans except for me. I don't care much about voiceovers because I'm usually just happy to see such a great series be legalized and made understandable for us gaijins, or foreigners in Japanese. Anyways, As mentioned before the main characters, Sgt. Sousuke Sagara, my personal favorite, and Kaname Chidori are voiced by veteran Anime Voice Actors, Chris Patton (Azumanga Daioh and Legend Of The Mystical Ninja) and Luci Christian (Peacemaker and Full Metal Alchemist) who do a great job with their characters. Mr. Chris Patton gives his character, Sousuke Sagara, a sort of calm but deep voice while Ms. Luci Christian gives her character, Kaname Chidori, a hyper, aggressive voice reminiscent of her voice for "Ms. Yukari", a teacher on the later hit ADV Films series "Azumanga Daioh". The voice sync or how well the dub speech matches the original animation would be 95% in my opinion, meaning that the dub is close to matching the original lip movements but don't look like they really match too well on those long sentences. The other voiceovers, Legend of the Mystical Ninja's Vic Mignogna, Peacemaker's Kira Vincent-Davis and Gantz's Jessica Boone all also do a great job at their characters as well as two main actors as well. In case you want to hear in its natural language, which is Japanese, ADV Films has added a Japanese language option onto the DVD.
The violence is pretty inevitable because of series storyline and the fact that the enemy will stop at nothing to get what they want. The gun usage might surprise some people but also seems inevitable knowing that the team that Sousuke is on uses mech fighters that use guns, Sousuke is also a sharpshooter and as mentioned before, always carries his handgun with him as well. Of course, Guns also lead to blood as well and in the 2 episode there is a little blood shown but not much as the 6 or 7 episode where they show a bad guy in a tree get shot and fall to the ground in slow motion, Blood is gushing out of him during that time as well.
There is also some implied "romance" in the series that has not been blown out into the open. The most popular one is the fandom-speculated relationship between Sousuke and Kaname because they seem to like each other and sometimes have romantic moments but that has never been fully exposed like in some animes like D.N.Angel, which pretty much writes its relationships "on-the-wall", or put simply, You know that there is a relationship in series. This is also one of those series that has a lot of outside references, like the military references Sousuke makes or the fact that one of Kaname's friends thought she saw a grease stain that looked like "Godzilla" referring to both U.S (foods that look like some special person or thing) and Japanese culture (Godzilla). What's cool about the DVDs is that the characters also read the FBI warnings at the beginnings. At the end of the credits, they show the scenes from the next episode while the main characters describe the next episode. Lastly, this series has spawned 2 other series, Fumoffu and The Second Raid. "Fumoffu" is a "side-story" series with no real plot but also funnier than Full Metal Panic while "The Second Raid" takes place where Full Metal Panic left off.
All in All, This is an awesome series that I recommend for anyone! Hey, I wasn't interested in "mecha" anime, many romantic animes or the military but I liked this.
Well, that's all! I'm out of here, until next time!
Notes and Addendum: Hey There, MegaDaffy here! I actually wrote this review a few years ago and most of it is still true, I would like add a new opinion here. *ahem*, I also think that anyone that enjoys watching "24", "NCIS/NCIS:Los Angeles" and the "Die Hard movies should give this series a try as well.

Tough draw for Caro.
A good showing against Kerber in the 3rd round would probably be an acceptable result for this tournament.
Good luck Caro.
The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259, the name of the place is Babylon 5.

A nonsmoker with a healthy lifestyle, Jennifer Ames was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and died two months later at age 59. By the time the cancer was discovered, it was too late for effective treatment.
It was a devastating blow for her only sister, Sam Johnson, the owner of Breezy Travel of Evergreen.
After jumping into the governor's race with no political experience and no establishment credentials or support, Evergreen businessman Dan Maes defeated Scott McInnis in the Republican primary.
Maes won by 50.6 percent to 49.3 percent, with a record number of Coloradans casting primary votes.
After peaking in the final weeks, the Maes campaign rolled to a stunning upset. Maes now faces Democrat John Hickenlooper and Constitution Party latecomer Tom Tancredo in November.
By Vicky Gits
Staff Writer
After his surprise victory in the Republican primary election for governor Aug. 10, Evergreen resident Dan Maes on Tuesday picked a former state legislator, attorney/mediator Tambor Williams, 69, of Greeley, as his running mate.
Williams was director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies under Gov. Bill Owens from 2004 to 2006. Prior to that she represented state House District 50 for four terms and served as speaker pro tempore. She served from 1997 to 2004.
In a matter of minutes, a casual outing on Evergreen Lake turned into a fight for survival when a couple in a paddleboat with their three grandchildren came within a few feet of going over the dam on Aug. 12.
"My in-laws couldn't get out. They were paddling their butts off. They were in the middle of the lake and nowhere near the dam," said the children's father, Dan Markey of Evergreen. "The people involved feared for their lives."
In a letter to the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board, the children's father, Dan Markey, says the paddleboats should be restricted to a roped-off section on the Lake House side of the lake.
"As you may already be aware, my three children almost died today along with my mother- and father-in-law while using your paddleboat on Evergreen Lake," he said in the letter.
He said the steel cable over the dam is inadequate. "That rope should not be all that stands between life and death," Markey said.
IRVINE, CALIF. — Lexie Malazdrewicz took fourth place in the bonus finals in the 400 individual medley and seventh in the finals of the 200 backstroke last week at the Junior National Championships, held at the William Woolett Jr. Aquatics Complex.
It's football season.
The Evergreen Cougars will hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 21 at Evergreen High School from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Lunch will follow.
ARVADA — Sam Theil shot a 77 to finish eighth individually, and Evergreen took fifth place in the 11-team field at the second 4A Jeffco League match of the season Aug. 16 at West Woods Golf Club.
Freshman Kyle Peterson fired an 81, while Adam Zuckerman and Taylor Shillingburg each shot an 84. Zach Fellows rounded out the scoring for Evergreen with an 88.
ENGLEWOOD — For one, Taylor Shillingburg, the boys golf season couldn't have started much better. For another, his Evergreen teammate Adam Zuckerman, he's had better days. It was that kind of round for the Cougars on Aug. 12 at Broken Tee Golf Course.

Which Italian Restaurant in Portland is this?

- Follow
We went to Portland a couple years ago and ate a restaurant we really enjoyed, I'm trying to recommend it to my brother but I don't remember the name and can't seem to find it.
I believe it was Italian, I had squash raviolis. It's attached to a hotel, it's south of Burnside (I believe going south from Burnside it's on the Left) in a downtown looking area (it may be downtown, I don't know Portland that well). They have a wine room with a table in it you can reserve. It's upscale-ish. Any of this ringing any bells?

Nexuiz Shooter Becomes Commercial on Game Consoles
For quite some time the Nexuiz homepage has been hinting at a major announcement in March. Now the cat is out of the bag and hitting the community over the head.
Visitors to the new Nexuiz homepage will find, instead of the usual downloads, an ad for a new game. A link at the top of the page points to the Alientrap webpage for the original open source game. The nexuiz.com domain was meanwhile sold to IllFonic and the game will be sold commercially.
What many developers and Nexuiz enthusiasts were expecting to be an announcement for a new version ended up being a disappointment. The founder of the game, Lee Vermeulen, according to an open letter to the community and IllFonic, who stopped contributing to the project four years ago, sold the domain to the Colorado-based video game developer IllFonic. IllFonic wants to market Nexuiz as a commercial game on Playstations and other consoles. Apparently Vermeulen had asked a few developers if it were alright to use the code for commercial projects and that most agreed to it. However, he failed to tell them that the game was to be marketed under the same name, thereby virtually undermining the open source version.
A few members of the Nexuiz community thus addressed IllFonic and Vermeulen in an open letter with their concerns. They would like IllFonic to re-release the old homepage and market the commercial project under a different name. The complete letter and background details are on the Alientrap forum page.
Great News
Nexuiz has been an open source project on the PC which startd in 2005, and was based on a heavily altered Quake 1 engine, which was available through GNU licensing. The game has made tremendous strides since its release from the original developer Alientrap Software, now IllFonic plan to bring it to consoles. Their plans seem similar to that of Babo: Invasion on Xbox Live Arcade last year, but Nexuiz will be coming to both XBLA and PSN.

- 5.5" black square card (Foundations, Inc.)
- 4" x 3" green cardstock
- 1" x 5.25" Trick or Treat paper (#42-5518 PC Trick or Treat paper)
- 2.25" square black and gold star paper (Die Cuts with a View)
- Mandarin Orange Quills paper (Fibermark)
- Green and gold sequins, various sizes (Nicole Spangles)
- Punch- 1 9/16" stamp shape (McGill Craftivity)
- Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon: 9192 Peach
- Kreinik #12 Braid 005C Black Cord
- Treasure Tape 4" x 6" sheet
- Treasure Tape Dots
- Diamond Beadlets
- Threadster
- Shallow pan or tray
- Cut one 4.5" x 3.5" piece of Treasure Tape. Peel back the white liner and lay your green cardstock in the center of the sticky tape surface. Then center this piece, red liner side up, on the front of your card. Press out from the center with your fingers to remove any air pockets. Peel the red liner off your card and center the Trick or Treat strip on the card. Press to adhere securely. Place pieces of tape under each end of the strip to adhere them also.
- Punch a stamp shape in the center of your black star paper square. Center it on your card, on the green paper. Punch a stamp from your Mandarin Orange paper. Apply a small square of tape to the back. Peel the liner off and place the orange stamp shape inside the punched hole in the black paper so the edges match. Press to secure. Cut a small square of black paper and a piece of tape just slightly larger than the square. Peel the white liner off the tape and center it on the orange stamp shape. Peel back the red liner and center the paper square over it.
- Begin embellishing your card. Use the Ribbon to make a border around the edge of the green paper. Use the Braid to make a looping design along the top and bottom of the Trick or Treat paper. Press the threads firmly into the tape, or use the Threadster tool to lay the thread.
- Use the Treasure Tape Dots to make a random design along the top and bottom of your card, in the center of your black square, and on each side of your Trick or Treat paper. Peel back the red liner on each dot, and apply a sequin. Add more sequins to your green paper, of varying sizes.
- When finished, place the card in a tray and pour Diamond Beadlets over the exposed tape. Swirl to cover fully, and tap to remove excess beadlets.

No, Virginia. There are no such things as real witches
For the better part of a year, I've been visiting a different religion a week to interview ministers about what they beleive in. I've tried to be polite and respectful to each one in finding out what they believe and why.
As I've been doing this project, people ask me questions. Like "What's your most favorite religion?"
This is usually followed by "So what's the weirdest religion you've visited?" I usually blow that one off. People believe what they believe, and while I don't agree with everyone (well, all of them that believe in the supernatural - as an atheist, I don't have much stock in those things), I'm not going to be knocking people for what they believe .
Then - there's the time when you read something that is so ridiculous, I can't help but call it out.
It's bad enough that you have people accusing children and elderly women are of being witches. Children are being tortured and killed. Elderly women - grandmas and mothers - are butchered.
Then we have people of such incredible stupidity, such impossible ignorance actually living in the United States, trying to bring up the specter of witches to scare people.
You have John Hagee actually saying that when a woman uses sex to manipulate a man, it's witchcraft. He goes on to say that any time a person tries to manipulate a person, whether it be children, or mothers, it's witchcraft.
That may be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Manipulation is manipulation. It's not witchcraft. It's not using magical powers. It's just people being, well, people. It's people trying to get what they want. But "witchcraft"?
Seriously? Do I have to remind people that there are still people of such incredible utter stupidity that they still should follow Exodus 22:18 which says "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" and think you should actually kill people who you say are witches? The only thing stopping them being the knowledge we'd throw their behinds in jail for a long, long time?
But that's not the end of the complete level of "dumb". We also have Ms. Kimberly Daniels warning parents about the witch blessed candy:
During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
What. The. Frack.
You have got to be kidding me. You have to tell me this is some kind of horrible, stupid joke.
What - is Ms. Daniels actually claiming that Hershey's employs witches to bless candy? Is that all the candy, or just the Bite Size Snickers? Or does Albertson's and Sweet Bay employ temp agency witches to "pray over the candy"?
At least with Hagee's claims that "manipulation is witchcraft", that could just be someone employing a psychotic vocabulary where "manipulation = witchcraft".
With Ms. Daniels, her claim is even worse because she's making statements of fact. To which I'll say:
Prove it.
Bring out your videos a la "Dateline undercover investigations" of witches praying over the candy. How about a special insider look at the "Witches of Werthers" who, before wrapping those little caramel bits give out a roudy "Hail Satan!"
Heck, I know some witches. They're nice people who pay their taxes, take care of their children and parents, and are just decent. I'll be happy to call them up and ask them "Do you pray over any candy to infect it with demons?"
Their answer will likely be "It's candy. What kind of a complete and utter ass would try to scare people into thinking there were legions of people trying to kill their children with demon infected candy?"
Stay tuned. I'm waiting to see how long until the stories of witch infected turkeys arrive. Nothing would make me giggle more than the mental thought of a plucked turkey dancing on my table come Thanksgiving dinner.
