Imagine Dragons tends to visualize their lyrics through a glass darkly. They paint with the kind of smudged, impressionist brushstrokes that can be seen as positive, negative, inspiring, depressing, beautiful, awful or anything in between. It all depends upon your vantage point as you attempt to interpret them. In other words, these shoes may be made for walkin', but these lyrics aren't made for decipherin'.The synth-drenched "Radioactive" couples that opacity with a massively catchy dubstep chorus, a combination that's earned the song airplay in commercials for NBC's Chicago Fire and SyFy's Defiance, as well as in the movie The Host and on the video game soundtracks for Assassin's Creed III and MLB 13: The Show. The song's title—if taken fairly literally—raises the specter of having endured a nuclear nightmare. And opening lines evoke exactly that kind of imagery: "I'm waking up to ash and dust/I wipe my brow and sweat my rust/I'm breathing in the chemicals/ … This is it, the apocalypse." Gloomy, right? And so I'm instantly hopeful (and trepidatious) that the band will fill me in on how to respond to such a sour situation. Or at least how they'll respond.Well, depending (again) on how you interpret some key words, the path forward seems to be one of determination. "I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus," frontman Dan Reynolds tells us cryptically. A bit later, we hear about awakening once more, as he adds, "I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones/Enough to make my systems blow/Welcome to the new age, to the new age/ … I'm radioactive, radioactive." As an anthemic affirmation, then, it seems the band is proclaiming the state of being radioactive a good thing. Or, if not quite that, at least a reality of life in the "new age" that must be accepted.Maybe that radioactivity will bestow strength and power for the fight to come. Because it is coming: "I raise my flags, don my clothes/It's a revolution, I suppose/We're painted red to fit right in." Who this revolutionary force or faction might be or what it's fighting isn't at all clear, I must say. But I've already covered that sort of sentiment here, haven't I?As for humanity's ultimate survival, a line near the end of the track suggests there is hope: "All systems go, the sun hadn't died/Deep in my bones, straight from inside." So whether in surviving a nuclear apocalypse or "merely" the toxic problems of our current age, and to the extent that listeners hear the song's repeated references to "waking up" as a good thing, perhaps "Radioactive" delivers a guardedly optimistic message. But if one decides to focus on all that "ash and dust" fallout, then perhaps not.And anyone looking for clues in the video will find something else entirely. In it, the band is imprisoned beneath a shack in the woods, a shack in which are held—it seems—cock fights. We watch as gambling, cigar-chomping men hold up their money and cheer the combat below. It's pretty clear what's going on …… until we actually get a glimpse of the combat below. Down in the fighting pit, a red-eyed, yellow-horned, pink-and-purple people-eater, er, I mean, stuffed monster is challenging all comers—including lots of other decidedly less-fierce cuddly critters also made of cloth. All of these stuffed animals come to a grim end, with the malevolently stitched monster decapitating and ripping and trouncing each in turn. It's violent, to be sure. And slightly ridiculous too, what with the white stuffing flying everywhere. But a tiny pink bear won't take defeat for an answer. Apparently radioactive in his own right, this little guy fells his bullying opponent with a pink flash of light, then turns his beams on a couple of men, vaporizing them. Really.Soon the band is free, while the leader of the brutal fight club left imprisoned to face the furry wrath of all the previously abused and now half-dead stuffed animals.That's meant to give us hope for the future, just like in the song. Or at least that's my impression.

Whether this is one of your first trips to Nigeria or not, there is no shortage of things to do and see in Nigeria. From its highest point of Chappal Waddi at 2,419 m (7,936 ft) to its lowest point of Atlantic Ocean at 0 m, Nigeria is blessed with hundreds of miles of amazing coastline, national parks and fascinating ancient sites. The most beautiful beaches can be found in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
Although Nigeria lies wholly within the tropical zone, there are wide climatic variations in different regions of the country. Near the coast, the seasons are not sharply defined. Temperatures rarely exceed 32°C (90°F), but humidity is very high and nights are hot. Inland, there are two distinct seasons: a wet season from April to October, with generally lower temperatures, and a dry season from November to March, with midday temperatures that surpass 38°C (100°F).
Abuja is the modern & blooming capital of Nigeria. In a few years Abuja became the heart of Nigeria's diplomatic activity. Abuja is located in a very strategic position for visiting all the different parts of the country.
Lagos, the previous capital of Nigeria, is a bustling city, and together with Cairo, ranks amongst the largest cities of Africa.
Port Harcourt or the Garden City as it is popularly known has become the capital of the booming oil industry in Nigeria in recent years, which turned the village into a big thrilling city.

Great colors and fabric I love the pattern on this set! I got the duvet cover set and the quilt set too, to have coordinating sets all over. The colors are not garish but are muted jewel-tones that go with the beachy feel of my house. Good quality fabric and workmanship. Good price. A good buy!

Disappointed I ordered this set in queen size, but it actually is more the size of a double bed. This set does not come with a bed skirt, so everything below the bottom of the comforter shows. Had to purchase a seperate bed skirt to complete the look.

Cute bedding We bought this about 8 months ago and have gotten a lot of use out of it. We have two Great Danes who climb on the bed during the day so we avoid spending big bucks on comforters. This was very inexpensive, cute, and has held up better than any other bedding we have owned. Highly recommended if you have cuddly fur babies :)

Love it! At first I thought I was going to be disappointed - the colors are not quite as vibrant in person as they appear on the computer screen. The vibrancy was what drew me in the first place. However, I decided it worked better in a different bedroom that I had originally planned, and I think the colors will complement each other perfectly. The best thing about this comforter is the way it feels - D.I.V.I.N.E!! Soft, smooth - gonna be like sleeping under a cloud! And for the price?? SWEET!!

Nice Looking, Mediocre Quality Product is quite cheap polyester. It is generous in size and the colors are true and not too vibrant. I bought this for my college-aged daughter's room to change things up for when she comes home to visit. I think it will be easily laundered which is a plus since her sweet dog often sleeps with her when she comes home. It was the colors and pattern that I liked as well as the great price. If you want something for that young girl or teenager who wants to redecorate every 1-2 years this is perfect! I thought I read somewhere in the description that this was microfiber which it is not, although being polyester it is not super shiny so that is a plus.

LOVE, LOVE LOVE, this set! The quality is very nice. It's not too heavy like a lot of comforters. Very comfortable and soft. The colors are wonderful. I put pops of the red (not an obnoxious red) throughout the bedroom. It doe's not come with a skirt, but I already had one that matched. All colors seem to match this set.

Because of the bright colors and interesting print
I like airy look and white background as well as the colors which include a green that I'm hoping will be the same color as my existing curtains.
Liked it
I loved the bright colors. We need to brighten up our bedroom and bathroom and this looks like a reasonably priced option to lighten and brighten up our master!
Colorful and happy enough for the teen granddaughter that spends the night but not too childish for the guest room when we have overnight guests.
it was pretty
I liked it`````
It's pretty and colorful! Unlike the standard dull grays and blues and Browns. All comforters seem to be blah! Reviews give it kudos also!.

is there an orange or tangerine color in this bedding
Hello kwalker, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is it warm enough for winter season?
Hello atom, this comforter is designed to be lightweight. Depending on where you live, it may or may not be warm enough for winter. Additional blankets could always be added underneath the comforter. Thank you for shopping with us! A.C.
I use and extra blanket in the winter. Perfect for summer though.
For Arizona yes, Minnesota, no.
Hello, How does the full/queen fit both? I have a queen bed and want to make sure it won't be too small
Hello saraz123, this will fit both a full size and queen. It's made to fit as small as a full, and as large as a queen. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
It is fine for a double bed but I think it could be small on a queen. I have mine at the foot of the bed over a quilt. The softness is amazing.
I bought this for my daughter's queen size bed and it fits just fine, even after washings!
What are the colors listed for this set? I would like to purchase coordinating sheets, but not white.
Hello susancpa, White, red, green, purple, and orange are all prominent colors in this design. Thanks for shopping with us.
purple, lime green, orange and aqua blue. I bouight coral sheets and they don't match at all, wish I had gone with lime
Who manufactures Mi-Zone bedding and where does it come from? Regarding the king size, you list it with dimensions under Product Details, but that size cannot be selected. Is it just not available currently or does this pattern not come in King size? If it is currently just out of stock, when will it be in stock? Thank you.
Hello surely01, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. This is made in China. Items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an Item will be restocked.

Colors are fun, I used twins in my grandkid room. Kinda whimsical, not sure I'd select for a king sixe
I too purchased for grandkids rooms, not really a pattern I would put on a king bed.
Is there any yellow in this comforter? Not able to zoom in close enough to tell.....
Thank you for contacting us jferg23. Yes this has a hint of yellow on the green color. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I wouldn't say there is yellow in it. the green is a pea colored green (which has a yellow hue) but no actual yellow.
purple, orange, aqua and lime green, not any yellow
Got this baby in! and it has no yello
Does this comforter slide off the bed? Since this is polyester, I have to ask.
Not really...if you use cotton sheets it's fine.
Mine does not slide off
Is there any pink in this comforter? Thanks!
Thank you for contacting us lisooch13. Unfortunately I do not have that level of description detail; however, I see colors on the comforter that I personally would consider as shades of pink. As with most fashion colors it ends up being personal preference and how an individual describes or labels various shades, tones and hues of a color palette. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
No pink. It is more of a subdued red.
No pink, for sure. Reds are not as dominant as they appear in the photo.
no pink
Is this comforter hypoallergenic?
Hello satorilove927, I am sorry this is not specified as being hypoallergenic. Thank you for shopping with us.
Do you sell the mirror that is on the wall in the picture?
I would like to know that as well
Thank you for shopping at Overstock.com. Unfortunately we don't carry that particular mirror.
I have looked for that mirror everywhere online....cant find one even remotely similar!!!
I purchased the exact mirror online at Seventh Avenue.
I'd also like to know what the color is on the BACK of this comforter.
Plain white but I think it will launder with ease since it is polyester, although not shiny.
The one I got was light beige (comforter and shams) which does not match any color in set.
Is there a chocolate or black color in this quilt?
There is some black on the flowers.
No it's a purplish color
No, the dark color is more of an eggplant color.
Are there other matching pieces like curtains, valance or bed skirt?
Unfortunately, we do not have any matching items available.
There is a shower curtain ...
Any chance that you will have this in a king size?
Unfortunately, we do not sell this item in that size.
What is the reverse of this comforter?
The reverse of the comforter is a solid microfiber.

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down. Most down comforters are made with goose down, but some may include down feathers from other species of fowl. Look below to learn how to buy a down comforter.

How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in. Bedding stored in moisture-resistant bags with the air removed will be clean, but it may be flat, too. Generally stored during the warm seasons, down comforters may become lumpy if the filling was unevenly distributed while they were packed away. Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed. These should be cleaned thoroughly once every three months, and large comforters may need to be dry-cleaned. However, many comforter sets can be cleaned at home if you have the right equipment. Take a look below to learn how to clean bed comforters.

Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.

The program investigates prominent issues dominating the international health and development arena. Students learn through onsite briefings and lectures with health and development experts at international and nongovernmental organizations such as the University Hospital of Geneva, the World Health Organization, and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. The program's eight-day excursion to Morocco provides students with a different vantage point in which to compare and contrast public health systems and the impact of development on health.
Students have outstanding opportunities throughout the semester to learn from and engage with experts from academic and international organizations headquartered in Geneva. The knowledge and field experience of key program contacts provides students with concrete illustrations of public health, development policy implementation, and best practices in the area of health and development.
NGOs with which interactions may be possible include: The International Centre for Migration Health and Development, Red Cross Geneva, The Global Institute for Water Environment and Health, and Althea. Engagement with a particular NGO may or may not require French language ability.
Students receive an individual pass to the United Nations library, which they can use for the entire semester. Most of the program's lectures and French classes take place on a campus-like environment in Nyon, a charming city located on the shores of Lake Geneva. Nyon is located between Geneva (a 15-minute train ride) and Lausanne (a 25-minute train ride).
As a result of the program's comparative approach, students are able to consider the complexity of healthcare systems, and health and development policy, from diverse vantage points. Students witness global health systems from a centralized policy and decision-making perspective in Geneva as well as localized applications of health and development programs in a rural setting in Morocco.
The program fully accommodates beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of French. French instruction—offered at a variety of language levels—is an important part of the overall curriculum. All French courses emphasize speaking and comprehension skills. The excursion to Morocco exposes students to the subtleties and diversity of the French language.
Students spend four weeks near the end of the semester working on an Independent Study Project (ISP), pursuing original research on a selected topic of interest to them. The ISP is conducted in Geneva or in another approved location appropriate to the project.
Sample topic areas include:
Several students choose to work with an ISP advisor, an individual who has expertise in the student's field of interest. In the past, advisors have included the program's academic director or academic coordinator, policy experts, program practitioners, medical professionals, and other experts. In addition to providing needed expertise, the advisor works with his/her student on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the student's research project.
The program's thematic seminars explore alternative models of public health systems in the context of developed, developing, and transitional societies. Looking at the role of public health within international development requires examination of diverse organizational strategies, programs, and projects of public health policy for major diseases, epidemics, and pandemics. A comparative approach to public health delivery allows a critique of national and international public health agendas and public health support systems. The program also emphasizes the crucial nexus between health, the environment, and development.
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Development Policy and Health - syllabus
(IPBH 3005 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course explores how public health and development are interrelated using, as a starting point, the evolution from standard theories to modern concepts of development. In particular, the course examines the major determinants of health issues in developing countries and the corresponding responses, as well as the impact of local and international policies on health in developing countries. The course reviews the role of microfinance in local development projects and the role of national and international agencies, as well as nongovernmental agencies, in development planning and project implementation. The course also studies critical aspects of development, such as access to clean water, sanitation, and healthy nutrition.
Perspectives on Global Health - syllabus
(IPBH 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course explores the main components and current issues of public health in an international context, drawing on knowledge and point of views from multiple disciplines including epidemiology, pharmacology, and social and medical sciences. The course begins with a review of the main concepts in public health—including epidemiology, cost-effectiveness, relationships of public health, and development—and explores various health systems in an attempt to explain the unequal distribution of health and disease in the world. It then analyzes the rationale for improving global health and the relevant modes of intervention by exploring a number of current and emergent topics, including health in migrant populations, mental health, epidemics management, access to medicine, and health security. The course is interrelated with the program's other courses to ensure a dynamic and holistic approach to global health and development.
French I- syllabus
(FREN 1000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
French II - syllabus
(FREN 2000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
French III - syllabus
(FREN 2500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
French IV - syllabus
(FREN 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
Emphasis on speaking and comprehension skills through classroom and field instruction. Students are placed in intensive beginning, intermediate, or advanced classes based on in-country evaluation, including oral proficiency testing.
Research Methods and Ethics - syllabus
(ANTH 3500 /3 credits / 45 class hours)
The Research Methods and Ethics seminar provides the theoretical, conceptual, and practical tools for conducting field research in Switzerland and Morocco. The course also includes several field studies, which gives students the chance to apply concepts learned in class. The course helps students to learn about and adapt to different cultures and environments. Emphasis is placed on grappling with cultural differences, as well as on identifying cultural similarities.
The course focuses on strengthening interactive research skills and methods, such as exploring cultural and professional environments; conducting background research; developing contacts and finding resources; developing skills in observation and interviewing; applying field study ethics; gathering and organizing data; and maintaining a fieldwork journal. The ethical implications and consequences of observations, interviews, and fieldwork journal assignments are examined and discussed throughout.
The concepts and skills developed in the seminar underlie and reinforce all other program requirements and link directly to the Independent Study Project.
Independent Study Project - syllabus
(ISPR 3000 / 4 credits / 120 class hours)
Conducted in Geneva or another approved location appropriate to the project. Sample topic areas: development and health in complex emergencies; the health sector in humanitarian relief; international human rights to health; mental health in developing countries; migration and health; international, national, and regional response to epidemics and pandemics; water and health; the paradox of malnutrition; public health and food security in least developed countries.

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
The program spends eight days in Morocco, primarily in the capital of Rabat, with a short excursion to a rural setting. Topics of study during this period include food safety, human rights, and the effects of development on Moroccan culture and politics.
The excursion allows students to compare and contrast public health systems in Morocco and in Switzerland, two very different political and cultural contexts. Students consider the collaboration between nongovernmental organizations, international governmental organizations, and Moroccan health authorities. Additionally, they examine the realities of development, the effects of international collaboration, and the impact of development policies on public health in a rural setting.
The excursion also gives students a chance to experience Moroccan cuisine, architecture, and the country's Francophone culture.
Students attend briefings by experts with the Federal Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation during a one-day excursion to Bern. Students typically have a chance to visit the Old City of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where they gain exposure to the Swiss German identity, as part of the excursion.

They're considered by many to be the next breakout band from New Orleans, and this week, The Revivalists broke out of "The Big Easy" to tour Colorado, including a stop at three20south in Breckenridge Sunday. The Revivalists often tour nationally, at times supporting Rebirth Brass Band and Galactic. The band has opened for JJ Grey & Mofro, Dr. John and Trombone Shorty, and count a long list of festivals among its past acts. The group was named Best Emerging Artist at Gambit Magazine's Big Easy Awards in 2011 and nominated for Best Rock Act in 2012."It's easiest to describe us as a soulful rock band," manager Adam Kowalski said of the band's sound, which includes guitar, saxophone, bass, drums, trumpet, vocals and pedal steel guitar. "But we're willing to explore a lot of different sounds and moods. We throw all different kinds of sauces into the mix: New Orleans funky sauce, rock sauce, blues juice, perhaps a peppering of jazz and gospel etouffe." The band formed in 2007 after drummer Andrew Campanelli and guitarist Zack Feinberg met at Tipitina's Sunday Music Workshops. They found their frontman, David Shaw, fortuitously when Feinberg heard him singing on his porch. The inspiration for the name came from a 60-minute segment about Bruce Springsteen, where his concerts were described as "part circus, dance party, political rally and big tent revival." "The word revival jumped out," Kowalski said. "The Revivalists sounded cool and it works a couple of ways. It worked in the sense that New Orleans was coming back to life after Katrina and everybody in the city at the time felt a part of the renewal. It also felt like a fitting name because we play a lot of different styles of music and groups who bring back older styles are often called revivalists."The group keeps its sound fresh "by mixing up our live arrangements regularly, arranging songs in different ways and taking risks live," Kowalski said. "Also, I recommend using the vegetable crisper." On strange experiences, Kowalski had this to say: "We signed a boob last week. It was weird."The Revivalists' 2008 self-titled debut E.P was recorded with Grammy-winning producer/engineer Chris Finney, and the band's latest album, "City of Sound," was produced by Ben Ellman (Galactic, Gypsyphonic Dysko and Trombone Shorty) in 2012.The Big Medicine Gang opens Sunday's show.

Susie Wolff admits expecting to land a race seat for 2015 is "not realistic."
After breaking down at Silverstone two weeks ago, the 31-year-old Scot enjoyed a bit more track time ahead of the German Grand Prix on Friday at the wheel of Valtteri Bottas' Williams.
Even she does not deny the PR factor in her two race weekend appearances this year, nor the fact that her husband – Williams co-owner and Mercedes chief Toto Wolff – has helped her on her way.

Comments about HD Vision Foldaways Sunglasses:
This sun-glass is cool and stylish. I think it looks good on anyone.The coating is very powerful and would protect you well from the glare and UV. It can be easily folded and put in the small black pouch that comes with in. The con is that it scratches easily and that you have to take it off the minute you come indoor because it can make you literally half-blind -- everything looks so dark indoor.

Evil Seed 2013!!
A EVILSEED with 200x elements would be the best. I didn't care at all for the filmation version. Evilseed with 200x elements has been my #1 want since day 1 of Masters of the universe classics.
Evil Seed 2013!!
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I always thought Evilseed 200x as a generic character. I really don't like him.
On the other hand, Filmation Evilseed has style all his own...A great animated piece as well.
I hope Filmation's one will be chosen.

Ah ya got me! Definitely artichoke, at least I got the 'A' right.
The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!
Chocolate and Vanilla swiiiirl. Swur-Urrl. -Crazy Eyes
I prefer the MYP version with MAYBE the Filmation head for the fans of his look in the original series. I for one think the original Evilseed was extremely goofy looking and to be done right would have to be a 100% new sculpt. The MYP Evilseed could easily be made using existing MOTUC parts with very little new tooling. No flocking either.
View my collection and customs HERE!
I don't like any MYP design abominations, so I would rather Evilseed be the Filmation version and slightly bigger than the normal figures. I always saw him as a plant monster and not a humanoid.
Sign me up for Evil Seed, but I really want the MYP version personally. I was never down with the weird asparagus headed version.
Most wanted: Blast attack, Lodar, Peekablue, Twistoid, and Despara!
I want the MYP version, concidering he fits in better with the classics line than the Filmation version and looks way better
*Two-Badd*~*Snake Armor He-Man*~*Tung Lashor*~200x Sorceresss~Calix ~*Mantenna*~*NA Skeletor*~*200x King Hisss*~*Ninjor* ~Evilseed
Filmation and 200x heads, and a robe for a complete Filmation look. I doubt they'd do removable hands for him, but ya never know. One figure would cover a lot of bases!
I want to see the Filmation version. Robe, asparagus head, and slender body. I'd like to see the variation in body type between characters since Evilseed wasn't yet another roided out villain. It's what I remember as a kid and grew up with and it's what I've liked about the Classics line (because, let's face it, character designs weren't always the strong suite in the original series but ended up having their own charm that harkened us back to the 80's.)
With that being said, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to come out with the 200x version down the road as well since he'd be an easy repaint of existing molds (minus the head of course.)
So, with that being said I'd like to see Filmation version first followed by the 200x later to appease those who prefer the MYP design.
Biggest MOTUC wants - Filmation Evilseed! Dree-Elle & Yukkers, Dylamug, Hunga the Harpy, Multi-Bot, Dragstor, Vultak, Colonel Blast, Horde Mammoth Man and Admiral Scurvy. Why can't we get a decent Thundercats classics line!!!?
There's no sense in lying...I would probably buy EVILSEED no matter how they do him. I have a feeling though, that somehow the HORSEMEN would be able to make something in-between that will satisfy most fans.
Always Expect the Unexpected!
I actually prefer the creepy (at least it always seemed super-creepy during that scene when he wilts / dies) artichoke-headed Filmation version to the 200x version, this is one character where I feel like a hybrid (with two heads and removable robe / cloak) would be the way to go.
Evilseed is my Favorite Character. MYP is by far the best. He was much cooler and had a much more evil menacing appearance. I'm usually Filmation all the way but have to make an Exception for this guy. MYP ALL THE WAY!
An MYP Evil-Seed is needed in the 2014 subscription!
We need more "Last Stand" characters. I just wish we would have gotten the ABC giants instead of the giants we received.
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
I have brought this up before, but look at the Evilseed 200x character. King Hiss arms and legs reuse, there's alot of great going on there.
PLEASE get this made before it's over. He was and still is my most wanted 200x character.
Goddess let him come in 2014. Goddess let 2014 sub happen.

MC's Eduardo a rare individual, truly kind and honest
If you get the opportunity, read Martin Willoughby's column on our website about Marcelo Eduardo, who is Mississippi College's dean of its school of business.
I won't repeat the column here, but Eduardo was born in Lapaz, Bolivia, and found his way to Mississippi through a tennis scholarship at Delta State in Cleveland.
Marcelo and I went to school together at DSU and lived in the same dorm, Noel Hall. He was a little older than I, but we became great friends, and despite not seeing each other that often any more, I still think of him as a great friend.
There are a couple of things that stick out to me about Marcelo. First, I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him. Well, I have heard students be critical of him because he is, apparently, a tough instructor and professor. Those I know who have worked with him have told me he is the most prepared and knowledgeable professor they had ever run across.
But Marcelo is truly one of the kindest and gentlest souls you will ever run across. He is as honest as the day is long and if he says he will do something, you can write it in stone.
Now, I am sure he has his faults. We all do, but he is a great guy and deserving of the accolades he is given in Martin's column.
He is the best tennis player I have ever seen in Mississippi, and having spent many years as a sports writer who covered professional tennis from time to time, I feel like my evaluation skills are pretty good. … If I remember correctly, as a teen, he played in the Junior Orange Bowl Tennis Championship in Miami and beat former World No. 1 and nine-time Grand Slam title winner Stephan Edberg.
He doesn't play, really, anymore because of a bad back he has had since his days in college, but when he stopped playing tennis, he picked up golf. He became of one the best scratch golfers in Mississippi, having placed in the top 10 of the Mississippi Amateur several times.
Basically, anything that required great hand-eye coordination, he was really good at — ping pong, racquetball, badminton — seriously.
However, I have never seen him try to hit a baseball or softball.
Maybe he really sucks at that. It would be just about the only thing.
Take a look at Martin's column, it is a good read.

Process is rather simple, you will feel a small tingling feeling in your palms or fingers.
Here are the steps:
1. Close your eyes, visualize a ball of energy in your stomach, below your naval.
2. Now imagine a stream of energy flowing out of that ball, up to your chest, past your shoulder, down into your hands...
3. Try repeating this process until you feel a sort of feeling, could be wind, a tinglish feeling of any sort in your hands
4. You could try putting your hands together as if you are holding a small invisible ball, you will begin to feel some sort of energy!
5 Now think to yourself.......

I cannot be bothered to start Samantha Brick slaying
Last updated at 12:43, Tuesday, 17 April 2012
There's a woman making a bit of stir at the moment – as only a woman can.
Her name is Brick and – she being about as subtle as one – reckons, immodestly, that she's routinely hated by all other women because she's too beautiful for her own good.
Samantha Brick – to give her the full Sunday moniker – has been writing reams about herself in a national newspaper. Her subject – debilitating perfection – is her particular handicap.
It's a burden, you see. Being incomparably lovely is such a pain – at least, until you learn how to make money complaining about it in print.
Since beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, it would do no good here to point out I hadn't reckoned on her as much of a head-turner. But lots of women do, apparently – and loathe her for it. Men, on the other hand, fall at the 41-year-old's feet.
They routinely dash to pay for her cab fare, train fare, shopping. They present her with flowers and go all glassy-eyed in her presence.
"Do I think I'm good looking? Yes I do. Is that a crime?" she said to Eamonn Holmes when asked to defend her narcissistic opinions on TV's This Morning.
Well, of course it isn't. Self-esteem issues are difficult, which ever way they swing.
It isn't a crime to believe yourself to be the bee's knees, better than the rest, misunderstood by lesser – uglier – mortals. It isn't even a crime to be thick as a brick or impervious to the cringes and furious exasperation expressed by people around you every time you open your heavily lip-glossed mouth.
But when Ms Brick's comments caused a worldwide storm of online fury and socially networked, frantically gossiped outrage, another issue slipped into place.
How could so many be bothered to give a crass, ambitious, self-publicist credence with any kind of opinion at all? Never mind seeing fit to share those opinions with millions.
"I never buy that paper so won't be funding her," said one angry tweeter.
"I can honestly say I have never read her – just what I heard on Twitter and today's Loose Women."
Oh good grief! Is this really what we've come to?

O-Sensei, the founder of Aikido, taught, "True victory is victory over oneself." Aikido is a martial art that offers a strong and effective alternative to victory by violence. It is an alternative that emphasizes self-improvement and the desire for harmony with all that is the Universe. It is also the purpose of our dojo.
Every dojo has its own culture and ours is no different. Our dojo's name, "The Aikido Ohana" speaks much of our culture. The word 'ohana' is a Hawaiian word meaning 'family'. Our dojo is a family of Aikido practitioners: the members of the dojo treat each other as they would their own family members. The initials of "The Aikido Ohana" are TAO. TAO is the phonetic translation of the Chinese word meaning "the way". At The Aikido Ohana, through the practice of Aikido, we seek to live our lives as a harmonious family.
Aikido requires patience, diligence and commitment. New students and all Aikidoka (Aikido practitioners) are always welcome to join us for practice.
- Alan Nagahisa, Dojo-cho

Brought to you by Sarah @ GERE Branch Library Night Runner by Max Turner Zack Thomson is a sane teenager living in a mental ward - and he's pretty much okay with that. After his parents died, he developed some very strong and weird allergies and the mental ward was a place that could handle his needs. His severe allergy to sunlight means he mostly only deals with the night staff, and Nurse Ophelia does the best job with his crazy food restrictions anyway. She makes a strawberry smoothie that soothes his raging hunger and doesn't make him feel sick. Things are running pretty smoothly until the night that the freaky guy on the motorcycle crashes through the wall into the lobby of the ward and tells him to run. Suddenly Zack has questions and lots of them! Keeper of the Night by Kimberly Willis Holt Isabel's mother died, and nobody is talking about it. Not her dad, who sleeps curled up on the floor next to the bed he used to share with mom, not her sister who has nightmares and wets the bed every night, and not her brother, who begins taking a knife to his room each night and carving his anger into the wall. Isabel is doing everything she knows how to do to keep the family afloat, but unless she gets some help, tragedy may strike again. Night of the Bat by Paul Zindel Jake is a spoiled 15-year-old, or at least that is everyone's opinion of him up until now. So when his dad's expedition to study bats in the Amazon is in trouble, Jake flies down, determined to prove that he can help. But the man-eating monster they find themselves up against is something out of a nightmare, and may be beyond anyone's ability to destroy - let alone a teenager on his own in the jungle. Up All Night by Abrahams, Bray, Levithan, McCormick, Weeks & Yang Six short stories about thing that keep you up all night: Babysitting your little brother and his dying pet mouse; Going out of town to a concert with your stupid friends who drink too much and having to call your dad and his new sweetheart for a place to crash; Deciding that the party is lame and bailing out to find what you REALLY want to be doing; Learning to drive secretly at night and discovering power you never knew you had; And a graphic short about a monkey without a mother - all of which may very well keep YOU up and pondering all night long! In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Riska used to be a girl with a family, back in 1701. Now she's an old vampire, forced into this unlife against her will and at a very high cost, powerful, angry and alone. There are no sparkly love stories here, just tragedy, loss and power. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Do you love the idea of a dusty British library reading room, a mysterious magical manuscript that disappears as soon as it's discovered, and a forbidden love story between a witch and a vampire? This book is gothic, dark, mysterious, romantic, peopled with witches, vampires, and daemons, rich with history - and best yet...great characters and really well written!! It'll leave you craving book #2...which is due out July 10th!! The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Prepare to be up all night. The setting is a unique circus that travels secretly and only opens at midnight. The author will entrance and enchant you with the descriptions of this circus that are so amazingly delicious and addictive, they will haunt your imagination forever - and that's just the setting. The story itself, a complex, fascinating story of REAL magic, amoral competition, and accidental love will leave you breathless and cheering for the characters to beat all odds and win together. Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen A historical novel - not Paulsen's usual fare but he's produced a remarkable story here. Sarny is a slave girl in the 1850's. Nightjohn is also a slave - or is he? He can read, and he's teaching Sarny how too, despite the huge risk. When Sarny accidentally spills the secret the punishments are beyond harsh, and she's sure that life and death are more important than learning how to read - but Nightjohn has some amazing plans in store. Night by Elie Wiesel The most tragic and horrific story on this list, and it's not fiction. When Elie Wiesel's family was forcibly removed from their home and taken to a concentration camp in German-occupied Poland during WWII, Elie was 15 years old. He was a deeply religious boy, who lovingly studied his Jewish faith and dreamed of studying the even more mystical and complex cabbala. Enduring the horror of the Holocaust on the very front lines was a test not only of his will to survive, but his sanity, and his faith. He is rocked body and soul by this experience, and again by surviving it. Much later he found himself compelled to share it, and it is an important story of our history, one that has many difficult lessons to teach today's students. This book is not an easy read, but it is a critical one. Night Fires by George Edward Stanley Set in Oklahoma in 1923, this is the story of a boy whose father was recently killed in a car accident. He and his mother move to Lawton, OK from Washington DC, where their loss and grief get entangled with the racial unrest happening in this small town. Woodrow just wants to fit in, and find some friends who might help him deal with his sadness. His mom is nearly too sad to get out of bed, so when his neighbor offers some fatherly support, Woodrow is drawn in. But there is a strong KKK presence in Lawton, something his own father would have been set against - and his new friends are up to their pointy white hats involved with the Klan. Woodrow has to make a stand, but how many horrible acts will he commit in the name of weakness and need before he finds his strength? The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff Mackie doesn't remember the whole story - he was too little when it happened, but his sister does. She was four years old, awake in the night, and she watched while her little brother was stolen from his crib, and replaced with Mackie. And she loved him anyway. As did the rest of his family, even though they knew in their hearts he wasn't quite right. They buy all plastic silverware when they realize the iron in the metal hurts him. They protect him from harm when they discover the scent of blood makes him faint. They make up allergies to explain his pallor, and excuses to explain his absence from from church - even though his dad is the minister. But when another child is replaced, and the changeling dies, Mackie steps up. He's the only one who can go to the fae underworld to find out the truth, and the only one who can change it. Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill Based on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, this novel takes us inside the circle of girls who cried "Witch". The core group of three, Ann, Mercy and Margaret, and four other girls who come and go from the group, as the power dynamic shifts...and shift it does. It's all about power. In this time and place, young women had little to none and this was an opportunity to seize some. The power impress, to have your parents listen to you and treat you with respect, to get back at people in the town who had harmed you or your friends, and power to control the group itself. Before long, the frenzy they've whipped up results in not just imprisonments for the accused, but some hangings, and the girls begin to fear that they're in way over their heads. |
