Caroline Kennedy says she will 'absolutely' back Clinton 'if she runs' even though JFK's heir opted for Obama over Hillary and ruined her chances in 2008
- Caroline Kennedy has said she will support Clinton even though she opted for her rival- then-Senator Barack Obama- in the 2008 presidential race
- Even Kennedy hedged her hint of a Clinton endorsement by saying 'two years is a really long time in politics' so she may not end up running
- The Kennedy 2008 endorsement was largely seen as the reason why Obama won the Democratic nomination
- Kennedy then tried to run for the Senate seat Clinton left when she was chosen as Secretary of State but Clinton's supporters attacked her
- Clinton was the one to call off their attacks
Caroline Kennedy has said that she will 'absolutely' endorse Hillary Clinton 'if she runs' for president in 2016.
The two women from similarly powerful Democratic clans have had a turbulent history in the past, but in a new interview, the American Ambassador to Japan gave a measured hint of an endorsement.
'I know it sounds like a cliché, but two years is a really long time in politics. I'm sure she's looking forward to being a grandmother, I know she's got to decide soon. So, so you know I hope so,' Kennedy said in an interview with ABC.
Serious support: Caroline Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, seen here in 2000 when Clinton was running for Senate, have been allies for years making it even more of a shock when Kennedy opted to support Obama over Clinton in 2008
Payback: President Obama appointed Caroline Kennedy (seen together in Japan on Thursday) as the new American ambassador to Japan in a move that many saw as a 'thank you' for her critical support in his 2008 race against Hillary Clinton
Kennedy's endorsement can be a powerful thing, and though it was assumed that she would lend her name to her longtime ally Clinton during the 2008 presidential race, she actually turned the tide by coming out in support of Barack Obama in January of that year.
Many considered Caroline's endorsement, as well as that of her now-deceased uncle Senator Ted Kennedy, of Obama as the point in which the Democratic base began to switch over from the former First Lady's camp to that of the one-term Senator from Illinois.
The drama between Clinton and Kennedy was not fully put to bed until nearly a year later, after Obama was elected and he had selected Clinton as his Secretary of State.
Kennedy expressed an interest in being nominated to take over for Clinton, who was one of the New York Senators at the time.
Keeping her options open: Kennedy said that she would 'absolutely' support Clinton (seen on Wednesday at a talk in Connecticut) in a 2016 race but echoed Clinton's own assertions that she has not yet made up her mind
Clinton's loyal band of supporters promptly attacked Kennedy, calling her out for barely donating to political causes and in some cases 'forgetting' to even vote.
Clinton was the one to call off the attack dogs, and The Daily News reported at the time that she made sure that 'supporters who said anything critical were rebuked'.
The wording of Kennedy's 'endorsement' of Clinton shows some degree of hesitation.
It may well be because Clinton has clearly not made a formal announcement of her intentions of running in 2016- even though polls have her leaps and bounds ahead of any other Democratic candidate, including Vice President Joe Biden.
Another more long-shot theory, proposed by The Washington Post shortly after Kennedy was named as the new Ambassador to Japan, is that Kennedy herself plans to run for the White House in 2016 and fulfil her family destiny by taking over where her father's legacy was cut short.
Picking sides: The Democratic primary race effectively switched from having Hillary Clinton in the lead to then-one-term Senator Barack Obama once Kennedy chose him over her
'Could Hillary Clinton be shoved from the limelight twice by Caroline Kennedy? While that might sound premature, Kennedy delivered the argument for charisma and vision over experience when she and her uncle dealt Clinton the first of many blows in the 2008 campaign,' reporter Jennifer Rubin wrote in The Washington Post.
In her initial op-ed of support of Obama in 2008, Kennedy said that he would be 'a President like my father' and noted the importance of persona and personality.
'It isn't that the other candidates are not experienced or knowledgeable. But this year, that may not be enough,' she said in a 2008 editorial in The New York Times.
Party over person: The Kennedys and Clintons are arguably the two most powerful Democratic families in American politics (Caroline, her husband Ed Schlossberg and her uncle Ted Kennedy seen greeting the then-President and First Lady in 1997)
'Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that together we can do great things. In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.'
During the interview that was released Thursday, which coincided with the President's visit to Japan, Kennedy made it clear that she thinks he has held up his end of the bargain- even if many other Democrats are trying to distance themselves due to his low poll numbers.
'I think he's been a great president. And I think that this rebalanced Asia is a really good example of somebody who's taking the long view, advancing the United States interest,' she said to ABC.

Stocking the Pantry
If you want to be prepared for anything, here's what you need to have on hand.
You never know when you'll need to throw together a meal at a moment's notice, and the status of your pantry could determine how successful you are. Here are the essentials of a well-stocked pantry:
- Tomato paste, tomato sauce, tomato puree and diced tomatoes. You can use them for making a sauce or adding to a sausage-and-peppers dish.
- Canned beans. They can be added to a salad for an inexpensive protein source. Have a variety on hand.
- A can or two of tuna.
- Canned broth, either beef or chicken. It's great for a quick soup or for deglazing a pan.
- Several types of oils and other liquids, such as olive oil, canola oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.
- All-purpose flour in a resealable container with scoop. Add a piece of peppermint gum to the container to keep away mealy bugs. It won't flavor the flour.
- Granulated sugar in an airtight container. Add a vanilla bean for a subtle flavor if you prefer.
- Brown sugar in a resealable bag. Add a fresh apple slice to the bag to keep the sugar from hardening.
- Cornmeal.
- Flavored bread crumbs.
- Cornstarch.
- Powdered sugar.
- Baking soda.
- Chocolate chips.
- Rice in an airtight, labeled container.
- Pasta in an airtight, labeled container.
- Herbs and spices. Salt, pepper, bay leaves and chili powder are key. Keep herbs and spices stored in a dark, dry place.
- Whole garlic bulbs (use immediately if they sprout).
- Potatoes.
- Onions.
- Oatmeal.
- Evaporated milk, which can be used in many recipes as a substitute for milk.

Real estate research site Movoto has released a ranking of the safest places in Minnesota, and the City of New Ulm came in at Number Eight. Movoto reportedly looked at 84 communities across Minnesota with a population of over 10,000 people and then ranked them based on FBI crime statistics from 2012. Coming in at Number One is the City of Lakeville, Number Two is Rosemount, and the third safest place in Minnesota is Eden Prairie. New Ulm ranked as one of the least violent communities in the state, with a total of just 30 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, which, in 2012 only included assaults. Along with New Ulm at Number Eight, the only other community in the KNUJ area in the top ten is North Mankato, which was ranked Number Five.

Great Lake Swimmers with The Weather Station
A Forest Of Arms is the sixth album from Tony Dekker's Great Lake Swimmers and the follow up to 2012's New Wild Everywhere. With a surging rhythm section, razor sharp violin, and flourishing banjo and guitars, Dekker and band mates have pushed their sound significantly, creating some of their most dynamic songs ever recorded.
Those familiar with the decade-long output of Great Lake Swimmers will recognize the thematic threads of beauty in the natural world, environmental issues and explorations of close personal ties that hold us together. The familiar versus the strange theme is also running through this record, both in the instrumentation and in the songwriting ("Zero In The City", "I Was A Wayward Pastel Bay").
Great Lake Swimmers consists of Tony Dekker on lead vocals and guitar, long time guitarist and banjo player Erik Arnesen, Miranda Mulholland on violin and backing vocals, Bret Higgins on upright bass and newcomer Joshua Van Tassel on drums.
The Weather Station will open the night!

A straylight compensation circuit which corrects for excessive dark current features a blanking circuit to ensure a stable black level without spikes and blanking noise. The video is integrated to provide a measure of the average picture level and is added to a reference level to compare with the blanking level in the original signal. The blanking circuit has a differential amplifier with diodes to ensure a correct and stable black level without noise or spikes.
1. A blanking circuit for a video signal having video and blanking portions, said circuit comprising an inverting amplifier having an input means for receiving said signal and an output; an output terminal; a first diode coupled between said output terminal and said amplifier output; means for providing feedback coupled between said diode and said amplifier input means; means for maintaining said feedback during said blanking portion coupled between said diode and said amplifier input, and means coupled to said diode and having input means for receiving a blanking signal for biassing said diode to clip said signal at a reference potential during the blanking portion and for biassing said diode at some other potential during the video portion.
2. A circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein said amplifier comprises a differential amplifier and an emitter follower coupled thereto.
3. A circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein said amplifier biassing means comprises a second diode coupled to said amplifier input.
4. A circuit as claimed in claim 1 further comprising means for sampling said video signal, means for integrating said video signal, means for comparing said sampled and integrated video signals having an input means for receiving said video signal and an output coupled to said amplifier input, and means for clamping said video signal in accordance with the difference thereof.
5. A circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein said feedback means comprises a resistor.
6. A circuit as claimed in claim 1 wherein said maintaining means comprises a third diode.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 564,732, filed Apr. 3, 1975, now abandoned, the priority of which is hereby claimed.
The present invention relates to blanking circuits, and more particularly, to such circuits used in straylight compensation circuits.
In a television camera, the light from the image enters the optical system where, in addition to being focused onto the camera tube target, it is partially scattered both by the air between the lenses and by the lense sidewalls, but mostly by reflection from lense surfaces. This scattered light, called "straylight" or "flare", causes a substantially uniform illumination of the camera tube target, which in turn causes the video output signal from the tube to have a straylight D.C. bias voltage component. It is therefore necessary to remove it and set the video signal to the correct D.C. level in order to be able to accurately further process the video signal. After removing the straylight component, it is necessary to blank and properly insert blanking pulses into the video signal. Previous blanking circuits, which typically use an FET, have problems with the blanking pulse, which is applied to the gate electrode of the FET, appearing in the video output signal as a spike signal.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a blanking circuit that does not produce spike signals in the output waveform.
It is another object to provide a blanking that is stable.
It is a further object to provide a blanking circuit that removes any noise that may be present during the blanking interval.
It is a still further object to provide a straylight compensation circuit that incorporates said blanking circuit.
In brief, these and other objects are achieved by having a blanking circuit with a differential amplifier. Various diodes ensure that the black level is stable and blanking noise and spikes are eliminated. The straylight circuit has an integrator and a clamp to set the black level.
These and other objects, features, and advantages, will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the drawing in which:
The FIGURE is a partially schematic, partially block, diagram of the invention.
In the FIGURE there is shown a video input amplifier 10, which can be a differential amplifier, that receives a video signal at input 12 that is about 0.7 volts positive modulation and has a real black level that differs from zero volts due to straylight and A.C. coupling. The signal is amplified and inverted by amplifier 10, which has a low output impedance. During the blanking interval, the amplified signal is sampled by junction FET transistor 14 that receives a sampling signal at its gate. The sampled signal is stored by capacitor 16 and applied to noninverting input 18 of clamp amplifier 20. Amplifier 20 has a response time equivalent to that of several video lines to avoid 1/f noise. The inverting input 22 receives an adjustable voltage from a variable pulse compensation potentionmeter 24. The output signal from amplifier 10 is also applied to straylight compensation potentiometer 26 which in turn is coupled to the inverting input of amplifier 28. Because of capacitor 30, amplifier 28 is an integrator, and therefore applies to input 22 a D.C. signal in accordance with the average value of the amplifier 10 output signal, which is a measure of the straylight present in the signal.
Amplifier 20 applies a D.C. signal to an input of amplifier 10 that is a function of the difference voltage between inputs 18 and 22. At input 18 it receives the original blanking level, and at input 22 the adjustable bias voltage from the potentiometer 24 and the output voltage of amplifier 28. Thus potentiometer 24 is adjusted until the nominal black level at the output of amplifier 10 is at zero volts with the lense capped so that there is no straylight and therefore no straylight correction signal from amplifier 28. However, because of the straylight, when the cap is removed, the real black level in the video signal is not at zero volts, but at some other value. Since, amplifier 28 also applies to input 22 a D.C. value in accordance with the straylight, the real black level will be set to zero volts, thus compensating for the straylight. The amount of the compensation is determined by potentiometer 26 in accordance with the amount of straylight present.
In order to maintain the change in the black level in the subsequent video processing amplifiers, which may be A.C. coupled, it is essential to blank the video after the D.C. has been added. For this purpose a video output amplifier is provided, which substitutes during blanking, a blanking level, which is at ground potential. The negative modulation video output signal from amplifier 10 is applied through resistor 31 to differential amplifier 32 comprising transistors 34 and 36, which are matched to maintain the D.C. reference level, and then to emitter follower transistor 38. Since transistor 34 inverts the signal, while transistor 38 does not, the video at output terminal 40 has positive modulation.
The signal is applied to output terminal 40 through diode 41 and a 75 ohm matching resistor 42, which is terminated, through a length of coaxial cable, by another 75 ohm matching resistor 44, shown in dotted lines since it is part of a subsequent unit. Resistor 44 provides a D.C. return for the present invention. D.C. voltage is applied to the various electrodes of amplifier 32 by resistors 46, 48, 50 and 52 and diode 54. A diode 56 is connected from the emitter of transistor 38 to the base of transistor 34, while a feedback resistor 58 is connected from resistor 42 to said base. A diode 60 goes from resistor 42 to resistor 62, which in turn goes to the collector of transistor 64. A resistor 66 shunts diode 60 to ground. A terminal 68 receives negative horizontal drive pulses and applies them through resistor 70 and capacitor 72 to the base of transistor 64, which is shunted by resistor 74. The pulses are applied from the collector of transistor 64 through resistor 76 to diode 54 and through resistor 78 to the gate of transistor 14.
During the blanking time, a negative going blanking pulse is applied to terminal 68 which cuts off transistor 64. Therefore there is no current through resistors 62, 42, and 44, and thus since resistor 44 is connected to ground, resistor 42 is at ground potential, as is the cathode of diode 41. Clearly, diode 41 will then block from the output terminal 40 any signal at the emitter of transistor 38 that is lower than ground potential. An extra current to the base of transistor 34 is provided during blanking by resistor 46 and diode 54. This causes the voltage at the collector of transistor 34, the base and emitter of transistor 38, and the anode of diode 41 to go lower than ground. Hence diode 41 clips the blanking portion below the ground potential, and therefore, eliminates the original signal during the blanking interval including any noise present during the blanking interval. Therefore the clipping action is exactly at the black level, during the blanking time.
During the video signal portion transistor 64 conducts and draws current through resistor 62. In addition, the bias current through resistor 46 is diverted from the diode 54, and flows through resistor 76 and transistor 64 to the minus 10 volts source. This forward biases diodes 60 and 41, lowering the clipping level to slightly below black level. Therefore, if the actual signal is at black level, no clipping action will take place. The video signal is then amplified by a factor of two to compensate for losses in resistors 42 and 44. The amplification is determined by the ratio of resistors 58 and 31. The amplification is linearized for the non-linear characteristic of diode 41 by the feedback resistor 58. Diode 56 closes the feedback loop during clipping, since otherwise transistor 34 would saturate and there would be a slow recovery. In addition, the base of transistor 34 would not remain at virtual ground, which would cause a feedforward signal to flow through resistor 58 during clipping.
The present invention is located after the camera video preamplifiers so that the video signal is relatively high, but before the white clippers, since the white highlights are part of the straylight that must be compensated. It is also before any video matrixing, since it is more difficult to compensate for straylight, after at that point. This normally leaves as a location for the present invention after the preamplifiers and before any variable gain stage.
It will be appreciated that many other embodiments are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Breakfast Sausage: 5 stories to read today
1) Pittsburgh City Council is expected to vote today to make changes to the commission that's in charge of naming public property or facilities, much to the chagrin of Councilwoman Darlene Harris, who may never get to use that Luke Ravenstahl plaque she's been stowing in her office – the $2,100 one, paid for by city taxpayers, that was to have been placed at a Riverview Park soccer field. The trouble is that no one – not the commission, not the council – approved of the name change or the expense of having the plaque made. And there is no better illustration why the city must have guidelines for this process. Mrs. Harris accuses Mayor Bill Peduto of playing politics with this issue; what she's really upset about, through, is that it's not Pittsburgh Politics As Usual, as in the good old days when we scratched the backs of our favorites with taxpayer-funded $2,100 plaques that no one approved. It shouldn't work that way any longer, Mrs. Harris, and it's good that those days are apparently over.
2) Want to learn more about the details about Gov. Tom Wolf's budget proposal? You can ask Governor Go Time himself, when he holds a Facebook town hall meeting at 1:30 this afternoon.
3) Ohio Gov. John Kasich hasn't publicly made up his mind about a 2016 presidential run, but it's pretty clear that he's got presidential stuff on the brain; he's just scheduled an appearance at next month's First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit, a New Hampshire event that is expected to feature each of the GOP's potential presidential candidates.
4) The one man who has declared himself a candidate, Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, has been so busy running – officially or otherwise— that he's been neglecting his day job. Politico reports that Mr. Cruz has bothered to attend just three of this year's 16 Senate Armed Services Committee hearings.
5) Newspapers reserve Page 1 editorials for only the most serious of issues; we'd agree with the editorial board of the Indianapolis Star that Indiana's adoption of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act – without accompanying legislation that outlaw discrimination people based on sexual orientation or gender identity – is serious enough.

Empty seat saga continues as IOC refuses to take responsibility for ticket sales
Tuesday 31 July 2012
The International Olympic Committee today rejected British Olympic Association notion for them to take responsibility for selling tickets at Olympic games in the future.
BOA chairman Lord Moynihan this morning urged the IOC to revamp their ticket policy for Brazil 2016 after London 2012 became the latest Olympics to be plagued by empty seats in sold-out events.
The London organisers [Locog] have come under fire over the number of seats left empty, with those who struggled to get tickets especially angry.
Moynihan said: "It's time to stop the blame game and also to recognise that this is such a major and complex issue. We saw it in Beijing, we saw it in Athens and we saw it in Sydney.
"This is an issue that I hope the IOC will take a lead on. This is an opportunity for the IOC to put in place an overall ticketing policy which can be improved at each Games as it moves forward.
"It is so important for the sporting public of the host city, the host country, to get this right.
However, IOC spokesman Mark Adams hit back, saying: "We're happy with the way Locog are dealing with it. Our bit is the way that our tickets are given to national Olympic committees, how they sell tickets in other countries as opposed to home countries.
"That has nothing to do with 'accredited' areas because they are not ticketed."
"The idea, which is clearly a good one, is to try to get tickets to as many territories around the world as possible," he said.
Meanwhile, more than two million spectators have turned out to watch the first three days of London 2012.

Colo. shooting judge won't overturn insanity law
Judge William Sylvester granted one defense request, for a written explanation of the consequences of pleading not guilty by reason of insanity
By Dan Elliott
Associated Press
DENVER — The judge in the deadly Colorado theater shootings has denied a request by defense lawyers to declare a state law on the insanity plea unconstitutional.
In a ruling released Friday, state District Judge William Sylvester granted one defense request, for a written explanation of the consequences of pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.
The ruling appears to clear the way for suspect James Holmes to enter a plea as scheduled on Tuesday. His lawyers had said they could not responsibly advise Holmes how to plead because of questions they had about the insanity law.
An insanity plea has both benefits and risks for Holmes.
He could avoid prison or execution, and even though he could be sent to the state mental hospital indefinitely, he might be released someday if doctors find he is no longer insane. But under Colorado law, an insanity plea means prosecutors would have access to potentially incriminating evidence such as mental health records.
If Holmes simply pleads not guilty, prosecutors would not have access to that evidence. But if Holmes is convicted, he could get the death penalty or life in prison without possibility of parole.
Prosecutors have not said if they will seek the death penalty. They must declare their intentions within 60 days of the day Holmes enters his plea.
Holmes' lawyers asked Sylvester to overturn the insanity law, arguing it was unconstitutionally vague and violated Holmes' Fifth Amendment protection from self-incrimination.
Sylvester's ruling, dated Thursday, said appeals courts already have upheld the insanity law. Sylvester also said he wouldn't address some questions raised by the defense because they are "dependent on hypothetical facts."
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 at a movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora on July 20. He is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.

Easy Reupholstery
guest post by T.
Related Articles
Inexpensive Reupholstery
Do-It-Yourself Reupholstery
I reupholstered my couch and loveseat with drapery fabric that I purchased from a thrift shop. A staple gun is needed to pull the fabric taut. I did not remove the old fabric. Instead, I just went over it with the "new" fabric.
You may want to wash the drapery. I did not, as I was worried it would remove the Scotch Guard. However, I sprayed Febreze on them and put them in the dryer.
I did glue a light padding to the seat cushions. I also made pillow cushions out of an old down comforter that was no longer of use. I made the pillows out of an old sheet, added the down, and made a cover for them out of the drapery fabric. I made sure the patterns lined up. It was a striped floral with repeats, so I had to be careful. I made a pillow cover out of the drapery fabric for all of the cushions. There were corners that had to be tucked in with a needle and thread afterwards.
The tricky part was covering the arms. I like fitted arms. I stapled the fabric to the arms and drew the shape of the arm on a sheet of paper. Then I cut out that shape onto light cardboard. After adding a soft layer of padding, I glued the drapery fabric to the arm and glued the covered cardboard in place. I spent about $50 on quality cording to go around the arms and base of the couch.
It gave the room a country English effect, and it looks very nice. Nobody can tell that I did it. They are more comfortable than before. They are in the living room and don't get a lot of use. I spent $50 on the old draperies. The total cost was $100 and about a week's worth of learning a new skill.
It had a skirting that I did not replace, as the couch had nice dark wood legs.
I suppose that it would be more professional to replace all the fabric and cushions on an existing couch. It's a good idea to clean them beforehand if you do not want to replace all the fabric. Over time, it is good to replace a couch, especially if you have allergies. However, this was quick and cost effective.
I love being able to tell people I did it myself. If you have a couch that you are going to get rid of anyway, just try it. With my luck, I'll have that set another ten years.

I think an anime-themed Sim City-type or Civilization-type development game, which heavily exploits common genre tropes and has hidden characters from a number of different series, would be a vastly amusing concept. Of course, you'd have to have both mecha and non-mecha versions.
A mecha-themed or super-powered-teen-themed redefinition of the classic monster arcade game Rampage might also be amusing.

Maybe from Japanese tourists, but that's about it.
No it's not, since the J-rockers don't have any presence here, so they take a pay-cut and use the whole thing as a chance to sell an international album. Ami and Yumi are as big as they're gonna get right now. Otherwise, there's no chance in hell any con could afford these bands if they were as big in the States as they are in Japan.
Companies can't even license the rights to their music for certain shows; so why would it be any easier for a concert venue? Hell, considering how many people complain about the prices of American CDs, how many people do you really see paying the double the cost for the overseas stuff?
But those cons don't make a profit; if they did, they would actually do a better job of dealing with over-crowding, instead of cutting corners at the expense of the attendees. These concerts are just an excuse to pay off "rising operation costs" most of the time.

The new banners are super cool!! I love how the ANN circle-logo-thing is integrated into it, and the more cartoony-style for the Answerfans is perfect. Awesome work, Phillip!
Nice column, too. I especially liked the first answer, about creative output. Of course there are artists and writers who team up to make something (manga, webcomics, illustrated books, movies, etc...), but it's important to explore your own ideas and abilities too. And keep working on it! Create because you love it, not because you want to be rich and famous (starving artists and all that, right?)

|I agree with Brian on the cons. During AX 2007 at Long Beach a group that was in the next door motel room where I was staying had parties going on, and the guys I was staying with also made friends with a stoner while they were there. Then one of my roommates drank too much and got kicked out of the hotel where the arcade was at. AND they called the police on him so we had to get him out of there as soon as possible so that he wouldn't get arrested.

|I feel exactly the same way as the first response to the question. I'll always be a "closet" anime nerd, because smelling bad, dressing like my clothes have been lying on the floor, and wearing worn out kitty ears to college doesn't appeal to me. I don't get it.

I think Brian is right that Ranma probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. It's also true that because the demographic watching anime was wrong from the advertisers view, Adult Swim basically said, "Thanks for watching, but we don't value you that much." Which is extremely irksome when I'm in they're beloved 18-34 male demographic. On another note, I don't really mind going to a small con that only gets American guests and typically the same ones. Sure I'd like a bit of variety or the occasional big name, but it's nice seeing the same people too, especially if one of them happens to be Carrie Savage.
As far as games go, while I think the concept of a Hellsing game has potential, there is also the notion that Alucard would pretty much take the challenge out of most situations. "Oh no, I'm taking a lot of damage. Oh wait, it doesn't matter because I'm Alucard."

Yay Brian, on the first response. What you said is basically the summary of every "how to become a writer" book I've ever read. Forget about creating something so awesome that Noah Webster comes back from the dead to personally change the definition of "awesome" to your name. Just write and enjoy doing it.

I may be misconstruing, but what they don't have use for is the 12-17 demo, not yours. Besides, Ranma 1/2 is not their type of show anyways, despite many viewers' calls for it early in AS' life. It's not enough of a hardcore action they want, nor the teenage-crush situational --and as Viz (in)famously put it-- sex comedy as the type their AS comedy viewers like.
And it is a slow starter (as notoriously were long series of its era, for various reasons), even almost got cancelled after the first season. And this coming from someone, as mentioned here before, whose Ranma 1/2 videos hooked an anime-oblivious dormhall (yeah, the same demographics AS covets, but they walked in during mid-season and tracked back only much later). So it wouldn't have worked out.

Hmm, I don't really have any ideas for video games. The only stuff that comes to mind is based solely around a game play not even related to whatever anime I used.
So? Aren't ya going to give us the link? Or are you going to let this opportunity to shamelessly self promote pass you by?

Title: Is non-native Ixora poisonous to horses?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:My horse was eating an ixora bush at a park in south florida. Is the Ixora shrub poisonous to horses?
No species of Ixora is listed on the Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List – Horses from the ASPCA. The ASPCA also lists both Ixora javanica and Ixora coccinea as "non-toxic" to cats or dogs. It probably doesn't occur on the ASPCA list for horses as "non-toxic" because it generally is a non-native ornamental that wouldn't be encountered by horses. I think your horse will be fine. Maybe the Ixora plant didn't fare so well, though.
