FortKnox's Journal: Podcasts 35
Anyway, I need to get up on all the podcasts that are good and popular. So far I'm subscribed to the 3 top "Lost" podcasts, the Dane Cook podcast, and the "Java Posse" podcasts. What podcasts do you listen to??
I don't have an iPod either... Well, I do have a iPod Shuffle (original gumstick form factor) but frankly: I don't use it. For me it is a glorified memory stick and I use it as such. (I actually bought it because of the memory stick form factor!) So no podcasts for sharkie anyway
I bought my wife a 2G iPod Nano for her birthday last June. With nice egraving, etc.... She has used it exactly one day, even though I passed that whole day ripping all her CDs. Stupid eh? That was the most wasteful present
Am I missing something? What's a podcast, and why would it need an ipod? I thought it was just a digital audio file (or possibly stream) floating on the net. What's ipod specific about it? Can they not be played on a normal PC? Or even on another portable audio device?
For those not keeping up, in today's episode, Tet explains that he hasn't yet drunk the Steve Jobs kool-aid, which is why he's not up to date with all of the cool kids. So
I personally still have absolutely no idea what a podcast is. It seems to be usually some Quicktime file, but I do not know. Sometimes it's a video, but it can be audio. Yes, you can watch it on any PC/Mac/Whatever that supports the coded. Frankly, I still have no incentive to listen what people have to say. I prefer reading it, when I really *do* have to care.
It is not as if there is something wrong with text, IMHO.
Yes, I get that bit. But what does it have to do with the ipod?
no ipod here either. Don't really want one. Only reason I have a cellphone is because fiance gave me one (I didn't want it). Only he and my parents have the number, because I don't want people calling me.
"The radio stations in Cincy are pretty lame, especially the morning shows..."
I think that's a universal across America. The formula is 2 to 3 people in the studio who do nothing but tell 13-year-old locker room jokes, play lots of commercials, and then maybe MAYBE you'll get three songs in the hour.
What I want in the morning is a single DJ who is just as pissed as I am that he/she has to be up this early, doesn't tell any jokes, and plays more music.
There used to be a station in Oxford (97X, WOXY)
I was starting to wonder about your lifestyle before I realised that "pissed" has an entirely different meaning on that side of the pond...
Heh, sorry for the US-centric language. On the other hand, the UK meaning has a bit of merit for getting through the morning, too.
One of my favorites is the word table when used as a verb. My understanding is that in the UK to "table" an issue means "bring it to the table" because it warrants attention. We "table" something in the sense of "drop it on the table" because it doesn't warrant attention, but with an implication that does need attention at some point, just not now.
The United States and
TL's head asplode! BTW, FK, I listen to the Onion's Podcast and Z100 Phonetaps.
Speaking of Dane Cook, can anyone explain the attraction? I love comedy for the most part, but I can't say I find him terribly funny. He seems to be pretty popular, at least from the HBO stuff I catch occasionally.
But I occasionally listen to stuff on my computer. Casts I like: Previously mentioned 43 Folders (organizational stuff, Getting Things Done/GTD), WXRT's Goin' to the Show and Lin's Bin (the first is "the regular guy" doing movie reviews in a harsh Chi-car-go accent; the accent is annoying, but the reviews are pretty straightforward regular person stuff instead of the heady "it makes me think of cinima verite

People can be goofballs at heart and sometimes, the most awkward people ever. Stick them in a situation they've never been in before and they will burn in a blaze of glory. But these guys are awesome because, they are the most genuine.
People can be goofballs at heart and sometimes, the most awkward people ever. Stick them in a situation they've never been in before and they will burn in a blaze of glory. But these guys are awesome because, they are the most genuine.
Stephen from Winnipeg asks…
I find it difficult coming up with a creative way to introduce myself to each new woman I meet. Some of my guy friends use basic profile bios and they always get a lot of responses from women. Is it okay to cut and paste an introduction that works for other guys?
Technology has no doubt greatly shifted the landscape of dating as we know it. In fact, texting has become the new first step in dating. Despite this growing trend, did you know that most women still prefer the old-fashioned way of communicating with someone they are interested in?
Janine Jankowski can still recall the last words she exchanged with a guy she was dating, who happened to be a few inches shorter than she.
"I had a lactose problem at the time, so I was buying all these health products," says the tall, blonde 26-year-old. "What you would call his famous last words were, 'Now I don't have to drink any more of this lactose-intolerant bulls***.' I said, 'And now I can wear heels.'"
There's a new book out called How to Set His Thighs On Fire by Kate White, editor of Cosmopolitan. In it, she lists nine topics that "make guys gag."
That got us thinking. Could this really be all? Could it really be true? Are there actually women out there in the world still regaling their boyfriends with stories of menstrual cramps and ex-boyfriends who are professional wrestlers?
Sadly, the answer is yes. After talking with a number of men we learned that not only are women still gabbing endlessly about the nine topics listed in How to Set His Thighs On Fire; they've actually expanded the dreaded list to include more. Lots more.
Here are the topics White says guys wish women would just stop talking about:
Everything was going so well. The tuna was properly seared, the chardonnay crisp and dry, and you hadn't once wondered if there was an exit out back for a quick escape.
But no sooner she thinks, "Hmmm, maybe I won't be falling asleep to Wolf Blitzer tonight," then it happens — you crack a joke only the boys would high-five you for and your date doesn't know where to look for reassurance.
Pretty soon, you're talking about having "a sexytime" with her, and your table is drawing the kind of looks normally associated with drunken frat boys on pub night. Dinner has turned into Evening at the Improv with your Uncle Ralph.
All those Borat impressions, Russell Peters one-liners, and SNL skit reenactments — fuhgeddaboutit.
When is the best time to tell a new partner about issues affecting your health? And what's the best way to raise the matter with sensitivity and tact?
Many of us live with health issues or medical conditions that are an intrinsic part of who we are — conditions we deal with day in day out, often for life. And there will come a time when we need to discuss a potentially sensitive health issue with a new partner.
Anyone in a successful relationship will tell you honesty is essential to having a great partnership. So is it ever OK to stretch the truth when getting to know someone new?
White lies are variations on the facts designed to hide a truth that would otherwise be hurtful or harmful to hear. Here are some of the most common untruths uttered in order to maintain a little dignity and decorum when dating.
Sometimes breaking the ice on a first date can be tough, especially if you are naturally shy.
"I find first dates horrible," says Bob, a 40-something Vancouver native. "I was married for 15 years and now that I'm single I find talking to the opposite sex nerve-wracking. I get sweaty palms, the whole deal."
Luckily for the likes of Bob, you can learn to improve your oral and aural appeal. Confidence expert Leil Lowndes, author of many books including How to Talk to Anyone, Goodbye to Shy and How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You, shares her tips for saying the right things and coming across great on a first date.
It's confusing. It hurts. It happens all the time in relationships. Instead of letting mixed messages frustrate you, why not learn to decipher them? Then you can take control. Here are five common scenarios that could leave you scratching your head — and tips for how best to deal.

Walking on Water
Like the Thumbs UPstate organizers, Nathaniel Sullivan and Jay Muhlin already had a project in mind when the DISHES opportunity was announced.
The SU graduate students developed their idea for "Walking on Water" for an Art and Civic Dialogue course, led by local artist Carrie Mae Weems and Community Folk Art Center curator David Ross.
Part of the class includes participating in an exhibit at the CFAC, which Sullivan and Muhlin are taking outside the gallery walls on onto Water Street for a guided audio tour.
"Participants will be lent an iPod and a map of the walk, with indications of where to cue audio tracks," said Sullivan.
The tracks will include personal accounts, subject histories and speculation of the speakers, to venture beyond the academic histories of the neighborhoods and offer "tourists" more narrative stories of the area, he said.
To add new material to the initial stories, participants will be encouraged to document their own experiences. And walkers with smart phones can take the tour using the QR codes posted throughout the tour, rather than borrowing an iPod from the CFAC.
"Being a pedestrian in a city gives you a distinct perspective of who you are in relation to where you live -- from the types of interactions that it affords and the attendant encounters with difference, to the time it allows you to contemplate the urban landscape," Sullivan said.
"You Are Here: An Intersection of Art and Civic Dialogue" runs at the Community Folk Art Center from April 8 to 22.
This week marks the launch of two great ideas that didn't win DISHES funding, but there are even more in the works:
Syracuse Skillshare
Last summer, Syracuse Skillshare debuted with a full day of workshops open to the community, offering lessons on a variety of topics from composting to tuning up a bicycle.

The 'Silent' Sudden Death Cardiac Killer
(Ivanhoe Newswire) — The genetic code of sudden cardiac death has been cracked. Now, people are able to be genetically screened for sudden cardiac death based on genes and family history, even if they've had no symptoms. The patients are recommended to receive internal cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) implanted to shock their heart if it stops beating.
"Our discovery has led to a targeted genetic screening and individualized therapy that is significantly improving survival rates," Dr. Sean Connors was quoted as saying at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. "It's allowing people with the condition to live normal, longer lives. Individualized genetic therapies like this are the future of medicine."
The excitement among cardiologists concerns a rare genetic condition "" arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
The term arrhythmogenic refers to deadly cardiac rhythms that can be triggered by electrical impulses within the heart. Cardiomyopathy is a worsening condition where heart muscle is slowly replaced by scar and fat tissue. The combination of the two is lethal.
"People who are at risk often have no symptoms, so the first time we know they have this disease is when they die," Dr. Connors said.
Using genetics to understand and cure diseases is especially vital in ARVC, where the victim often has no symptoms. The surest sign that a disease is genetic in origin is when it is manifests itself in family histories, showing up in generation after generation.
"Our diagnostic testing showed that some members of these families have a specific, genetic, electrocardiogram (ECG) mutation "" ARVD5," said Dr. Connors. Children of parents who carry the gene have a 50 percent chance of carrying it themselves. It is the second most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young people.
The mutation causes premature sudden cardiac death. In males, 50 percent die by 40 and 80 percent die by 50. For women, five percent die by 40 and 20 percent by 50.
Dr. Connors believes there is nothing to lose with implanting the ICD in asymptomatic patients with the mutation. It increases the survival rates in both men and women.
According to Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson, there are as many as 40,000 sudden cardiac arrests every year in Canada.
"What's fascinating about this study is that they show that preventive intervention works," Dr. Abramson was quoted as saying. "This treatment is not only prolonging lives; it's giving families peace of mind and hope for the future."
She also notes, "This is exciting information for physicians working with these rare cases but is also important to remember that the most common causes of heart disease relate to lifestyle. It is important that all of us, regardless of family history, take care of our hearts: basic things like smoking cessation, following a healthy diet, and physical activity go a long way in protecting our health."

Most Vermonters support wind powerJanuary 17,2013
Most Vermonters want wind power
In response to Two senators want to halt wind projects:
Recent calls for a moratorium on wind power production are highly misguided and sorely misrepresent the ideals of nearly 70 percent of Vermonters.
The effort to suspend new wind power production, led by Sens. Robert Hartwell and Joe Benning, represents only a small but vocal minority of Vermonters.
By taking up the effort to stop wind power production, Sen. Hartwell and Sen. Benning are acting against Vermont citizens interest, going directly against what they promise theyd do when officially sworn into office.
The reasons why Vermonters support wind power are clear.
Beyond being the responsible thing to do, wind power invests in long-term jobs in Vermont, has boosted our state economy, and is helping to move farther away from dirty and dangerous sources of energy.
A moratorium on one of the most benign sources of renewable energy available right here in Vermont is a crippling move that undermines decades of progress.

NOTICE: This review covers both the Nisemonogatari sequel, as well as the upcoming Kizumonogatari movie, since there is no difference amongst them to deserve separate analysis.
Bakemonogatari (directly translated to English as Monstory) is a combination of so many themes and genres that individually it seems to be pure win. Yet eventually is just a big mess of good ideas without much effort to tell a story as much as pandering the audience (ie making money). So if you want to fully enjoy it, see it as fan service with artsy touches and not as an amazing concept with fan service for garnish. At best it can be seen as an interesting series of smart gags and wordplays in a psychedelic setting of artistic expression. At worse it can be seen as a big pile of weirdness that never seems to get anywhere other than throwing excuses for erotic foreplay.
But let's not stick to this sort of dried up explaination so I'm just going to say it with a straight face. Most viewers will easily be mesmerized by Nishio Ishin's playful writing and Shimbo Akiyuki's artistic directing to the point they won't even notice or care about the lack of plot. SHAFT comedies are always about style over substence but it's not like they lack the later. It's just that they go very easy with importan issues to the point the themes become background noise and you end up watching this for the wacky visuals and the funny dialogues.
General Artwork 2/2: Artistic as hell. Every second of it is a blend of real life images, pasted cardboards, 3D images, walls of Kataganas, plain character designs, major deformities, parody references to other anime and lots of high quality fan service. The designers gave their best to create a series that is making your mind think like it's on LSD. A wonderful work of fiction that is set apart by the rest just by looking at it.
Sure, it ain't unique if you have watched other comedies by the same studio, such as Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and Maria: Holic. Still, it is a style you will love at first sight no matter if you have seen it before… or at least hate for being so damn multilayered. Every scene is a symbolism to something around Japanese tradition or way of life or a cultural reference in general. And it even makes fun of this by presenting clichés in a way they look funny for being like that. For example, every few episodes, the intro changes to something that has nothing to do with the series. It just presents the current girl in the show in slice of life situations, as if the series is some moe school romance or comedy. It is just a joke as you never get to see all that. It is just an intro to the character's supposed normal life. Playing around with such things creates a mindstorm of emotions and thoughts. And it works.
Character Figures 2/2: The characters are generally drawn simple and most of the time they get deformed or turn to weird references to some other anime or cultural symbol. Yet, there is also high budget in between but it is all reserved for fan service. For you see, the only moments it looks highly detailed is when some girl undresses or shows off her underwear or the camera zooms to her moe face. Thus it combines the abstract with the mainstream; it aims to make you feel weird but still does not forget to offer you the stuff you find in run of the mill ecchi shows. Although I always found fan service to be distracting you from the real quality of the series and generally lowering its credibility, over here it is just some extra before the next joke jumps in. So, I didn't found all this simplicity or focused erotism as bad or unneeded. It's just that as the episodes go by the plot becomes slower and the fan service increases tenfold in Nisemonogatari, to the point you stop watching it for the context and just have fun with the high quality sofporn. This tends to make it seem silly after awhile.
Backgrounds and Visual Effects 4/4: It is almost impossible to separate backgrounds from visual effects as they both serve as symbolisms and cinematics at the same time. They are used intellectually to transmit ideas and emotions to the viewer so I consider them far more successful than just dry pictures that just fill the background with colors. Of course, there are so many references and Japanese texts flashing by that you will miss most of the meanings if you are not very well informed of Japanese tradition and the history of animation in general. Still, they are both marvelous to stare just for their weirdness alone.
Motion Fluidity 1/2: Well, if I can detract points, this is the place to do so. Motion is rather scarse in this series as the characters mostly stand still and flap their mouths allowing the backgrounds to transmit the rest. Although that does not seem as a bad thing, they still feel like everything is rolling or sliding and not walking with 18 frames per second. It kinda gets to your nerves after awhile. Even the few action scenes in this series appear as random attacks and throws thus they have little to none realism. Not that this series is realistic but it feels way too much like a picture book story. Also, the general quality drops a lot in the final episodes (budget ran out and screwed the series again) so even that leaves you with the impression that everything in this series is cartons and Playmobils sliding by without joint movements. Of course it is not awful and it does have smooth motions when fan service in involved. It's just that it doesn't happen very often.
Voice Acting 3/3: Ah, great dialogues full of phrases that you will remember for a life time. The talking is sarcastic and highly symbolical, turning even the most mundane topic to a spiritual insight, a wordplay, an arousing erotic remark or a shout of human angst… Or plain trolling just for the lulz. You will love them even if you don't get them.
Music Themes 2/4: Nothing memorable. Unlike the animation the music themes are either average silly pop songs or repetitive monotonic background music. Nothing to remember in the longrun.
Sound Effects 3/3: Just like the visuals, the sound effects are blending along with cinematics and backgrounds and timing with character reactions to something, thus becoming very pleasing to listen to.
Premise 1/2: Although it begins very mysteriously, it soon turns to some episodic formula of "help girl A and then head for girl B". It is supposed to be about the lead being surrounded by pretty girls (token loli included) that have something supernatural about them and need his help to get rid of their curse. Think of Mushishi gone haywire to get the basic idea. Well, it is not that serious as down to it they just talk, make jokes, show bare skin for a couple of episodes and then get healed and leave from the center of the story. In fact, the story is closer to a run by the mill harem anime ala Air, where the lead helps one pretty girl at the time before moving to the next and practically never seeing the previous one again. Or even closer to xxxHolic for being too focused on aesthetics rather than plot or development. Nothing much but an excuse in all.
Complexity 0/2: Being episodic, means there is little to no relation of one arc to another. Some characters return as cameos but in all don't aid in the plot in any serious way. Thus, it is a generally linear scenario made of stand alone arcs.
Pacing 0/2: The pace was ok in the first half. It was still weird and was giving off the idea of a solid plot. Sadly, towards the end it becomes very erratic, with events running in fast forward and missions feeling uninspired. Thus, it ends up being another series that went under the pressure of time and lack of money. Even when they made Nisemonogatari later on with even higher budget than the first series, the speed of progression was close to zero. There is in all very little plot in it.
Plausibility 1/2: Well, everything mentioned makes sense, no matter how much extreme it sounds. The plot is the thing that suffers as battles and looking for answers just doesn't mean anything to the story other than making you laugh or arousing you with spicy talking.
Conclusion 1/2: Meh, there was never much of a story in it and the one that was there was left incomplete. The vampire girl was not even dealt with in the first season. They did make three extra episodes to wrap the story later on but the series itself has no ending at all. And even the one provided by the extras was again nothing you wouldn't guess anyway. As for Nisemonogatari, they are fooling around until a stupid Phoenix thing happens in the end that is resolved in a boring way.
Presence 2/2: Sure, they are all very attractive and funny and erotic and crazy enough to pay attention to them. By the way, the lead is voiced by the same person who voices Zetsubo Sensei, and the production team is the same so he will probably pass to you like a spin off from that cast. If not the show entirely that is.
Personality 2/2: Just like in Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei or Maria: Holic, the characters behave almost entirely as caricatures. Stereotypes being made fun of and plot elements to an otherwise simple story. SHAFT seems to make only such kinds of characters and they feel too similar in behaviors and too unrealistic as personalities to actually care about them as entities and not comic reliefs or ero archetypes. Still, as far as caricatures go, they offer the best of their archetypes through dialogues that practically troll the male lead into hilarious reactions. The verbal abuse everyone uses on him is more than enough to not ask for more.
Backdrop - Development - Catharsis 3/6: Eh, half their backdrop is presented in an ironic intro for each girl individually and the other half comes from monologues. Sure, it works. But not like they end up as different people. They hardly ever affect other arcs. And the fact that the series ends suddenly, leaving at least one girl overlooked hardly meant they ended their development. But even the later episodes had nothing to add to their personas so who cares. Nisemonogatari continues in the same way by adding the protagonist's horny sisters to the lot but that is pretty much all of it.
Analysis: Historical Value 3/3, Rewatchability 2/3, Memorability 4/4
It is a very easy show to remember or rewatch as it has most of the things casual viewers love in anime.
Nah, I half liked it. Unlike Zetsubo Sensei, Bekemonogatari (and any other similar series like Maria: Holic) have a very specific story and setting which end up outliving their interest from the viewer after awhile. They are supposed to head for something but end up being nothing other than trolling monologues just to make you laugh and fan service to make you horny. Stopping suddenly because the money ran out or having stupid resolutions to important issues also damaged its image. So, it is a good idea as far as presentation goes but in practice it fails to deliver any closure or even a believable plot that doesn't repeat itself to the point of saturation. This drops the chance to watch it again or even finish it with good impressions. Personally, I think the chances to rewatch it are fifty-fifty as you will either don't like the craziness; or will like and rewatch just to remember all those arrays of bullet trolling and smart dialogue.
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
Maria: Holic
So, I tried to watch Bakemonogatari.. but I couldn't get into it.
The first thing you see is a panty shot in the first 30 seconds of the first episode; as someone who does not like women like that, or female ecchi. That was a "Really?!" moment. I was going to be open minded and watch the rest of the episode regardless of the fact.
I got up to episode 3 and I just could not watch it anymore.. but not because of the ecchi or the fact that the main character is a heterosexual perverted creep like the rest of the characters in other anime.. but I just found the entire show incredibly boring.. sometimes the characters go on and on about nothing.. and I am completely daydreaming while watching the show.. it's just a snoozefest for me, so I gave it a 3 out of 10... I just don't get the hype at all and the only reason why I tried it out was because I read it was like Mekakucity Actors, which I had recently finished and thought it was amazing.
Just finished watching Bakemonogatari...what can i say, it is a weird anime with weird animations.
Anime itself is rated quite high and well, so i thought i will give it a go. The story is about a boy who was attacked by a vampire and now he heals fast and does not die easily. He is trying to help some other girls who have problems with spirits and other supernatural creatures.
Animations are good, they are strange and weird but they are unusual and quite good. Id say you might need to be "in a mood for some weird stuff" to love the animations.
The ecchi part, well there is not much ecchi and it is quite family-friendly anime, there were a few scenes (maybe two) but nothing major. Animations lack of detail to show something that would be too much.
Sound, well, for the most of the series there was no music, just a bunch of weird sounds. do weird sounds fits this anime? yes. All in all sound would be the weakest point for this anime.
I liked Araragi and Senjogahara, i liked watching them, i liked all the teasing and awkwardness. Also Oshino was quite good. Other than that all the characters are weird or strange, so not sure.
Overall probably it is not such a good anime as everyone rated, much of weird stuff and strange animations with strange music..not sure not sure.... Maybe if you are in a mood at the time you will enjoy it.
Id rate ir average or maybe slightly above average
Story: 4/10
This is basicly a harem show (Clanned or Air or somthing similar) mixed with xxxHOLiC. Although it takes Bakemonogatari around 3 episodes to do what xxxHOLiC does in one, and xxxHOLiC still does it better. I know I shouldn't compare them, but I just can't help it here since it REALLY reminds of xxxHOLiC all the time.
Also, it's not exactly like most harems since most females don't pursue him in a romantic way (even though it's hinted at it with some/most of them), but it's definitely set up like a harem. It's one guy that helps out girls one by one in their own specific arc and is in the end surrounded by them.
If you ask me, the unique art directing is most probably used to hide that the show itself in fact isn't unique at all.
If I wouldn't be so interested in these kinds of supernatural stories to begin with the score would be MUCH lower.
Animation/Artwork/Visual Effects: 8/10
This part of the show is good in itself, but it isn't used very well most of the time. There are plenty of unnecessary movements used throughout the series. Like the classic "shaking-ones-head-to-make-the-said-statement-appear-more-dramatic", although, if you ask me, it does the exact opposite. It just ridiculous.Then we have the general directing which is very similar to an opening from "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" series. I'm comparing it to an opening and not the actual show because it's much "wilder" than the actual SZS series and it doesn't even fit with this show like it does with SZS.
That said, it does have some great shots here and there, and the fight scene with the "monkey" looks absolutely great.
The OP/ED had great animation
Sound: 6/10
The voice actors all did a good job, nothing real to complain about, even though I don't think that Hiroshi Kamiya (Nozomu Itoshiki from SZS) really fits as Araragi. But I do think that Chiwa Saitō did a great job as Senjoughara.
The BGM is very inconsistent. Sometimes it's great music, but it doesn't fit with what's going on, other times the music is just lame. But there are a few times when it works great. So overall it's quite avarage.
The OP songs were never particularly good, but I liked the ED song.
Characters: 4/10
Araragi is alot like any other harem male lead. He's a bit better than most though since he has some special background story which makes him more than the faceless male lead that usually inhabits harems. But his behaviour is very close to the usual type. Araragi is also one of the reasons why I keep thinking of Clannad and Air because those shows also have male leads with slightly special background stories that act pretty much like the usual male harem lead. They're all still below avarage as characters though. Mayoi is the incredibly common yelling and fighting tsundere loli and Nadeko is the shy and helpless loli. Both incredibly cliché and uninteresting. We also have the "dignified" class-rep, Hanekawa, and the cheery sports girl, Kanbaru. Although thanks to some pretty nice and unexpected character development Hanekawa isn't completely uninteresting and Kanbaru turns out pretty nice. Unfortunately, they're still not all that good and I actually felt that Hanekawa could've been more fleshed out. Then we have the little sisters. We can't have a harem set-up without some cute younger sisters now, can we? They didn't even need them in the show. They used them as a way for Araragi to have some backstory with the snake girl, but that could've easily been done in another way. Senjoughara on the other hand is a pretty well crafted character, even if I didn't like her personally. She was too much of a bitch for me, even if we got a good reason for why she acted the way she did. One thing I didn't understand was why she carried arround all that hidden stuff in the beginning. Wouldn't the staple be enough? I do gotta say that the staple thing was something I really found interesting though. That and the other characters personal objects which identified them with their "hidden nature". Hitagi's staple - the claw of a crab, Mayoi's back pack - the shell of a snail, Kanbaru's leggings - Sarumata ('Saru' means monkey), and Nadeko's big hat and baggy jacket - the head and skin of a snake. Althought to be honest, I got this information after I finished this show and the previous information comes directly from Wikipedia. That doesn't mean it's not an interesting thing, even if it didn't add any enjoyment to the show seeing as how I didn't see it when I watched the show.
Anyway, Senjoughara is pretty good, kanbaru is pretty entertaining in some aspects, Hanekawa has some redeeming facts even though she is close to the bottom, Araragi isn't completely worthless as a character, but he isn't far off either, Nadeko is very uninteresting but isn't THAT annoying, Mayoi is incredibly annoying, cliché and generally uninteresting and the sisters are useless except for crappy fanservice although not for anything ecchi, just as imagination stereotypes.
Oh, I forgot about two characters; Shinobu and Oshino. Well, Shinobu is just used for backstories, she's a bit interesting, but just as a mystery. She's basicly nothing seeing as how she gets no character development. Oshino was just a very inferior version of Yuuko from xxxHOLiC.
The characters faults annoyed me much more than their positive sides entertained me. The only reason this didn't get a bottom score is because of the personal object thing and the slight enjoyment from Kanbaru and Senjoughara. Although, even if Senjoughara is the most entertaining character, shouldn't Araragi be the person on most of the posters and stuff, seeing as he is in fact the main character – not Senjoughara.
But I gotta say that if I did like the show for some reason I would probably try to think more of their good sider than their bad sides. But as it is, this is the only way I can view these characters.
Overall: 4.5/10
I didn't like it at all. Like I've stated before, alot from this show reminded me of xxxHOLiC and this show is inferior in every aspect except for the quality of the A/A/V. The fact that I dislike harem shows deals another great blow to this series. The dialogue wasn't the least bit witty to me and it irritated me much more than it entertained me with lines like "Hey Ararararagi." "Wait, you added 2 extra ra to my name." I mean, what the hell is that. They even use the same kind of joke several times. But they then did it like; "wait, you removed a ra from my name". It was just sad.
If it weren't for my love of supernatural shows this would get a bottom score.
Awesome story arcs. Senjougahara is awesome. Araragi's thoughts and comments are hilarious along with his actions and reactions to various things throughout the series. A lot was left unanswered but I'm hoping the 3 internet episodes answer most of them. Kanbaru is indeed a very kinky individual, she's very honest with everything. Hanekawa and her "meowhahaha" was great, I can't get enough of it. The last 3 episodes were by far the best of the bunch. Love Hanekawa quite a bit <3. Overall, a great anime.

Outcome for Prop. 1A, 1B intertwined in May vote
Online: Go to the Union-Tribune's Voters Guide for more information on the special election at uniontrib.com/more/votersguide.
SACRAMENTO – At its essence, Proposition 1B on the May 19 ballot represents an out-of-court settlement of a multibillion-dollar legal dispute.
The measure would guarantee $9.3 billion in supplemental payments to public K-12 schools and community colleges over the next five or six years.
But it also represents a broader compromise between Democrats, Republicans, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the powerful public education lobby dominated by the California Teachers Association.
The vote on Proposition 1B may not matter much, however, unless Proposition 1A also passes. The two constitutional amendments are among six measures placed before voters as part of a bipartisan budget accord that closed most of a record $42 billion state budget deficit.
To make sure the formidable teachers association did not oppose Proposition 1A – which would create a new state spending limit and a larger reserve fund while also extending a series of tax increases – Republicans insisted on linking the two measures.
The revenue stream to pay the $9.3 billion would be established by Proposition 1A. Education officials say schools desperately need the money to recover from recent budget reductions and are willing to go to court to get it back.
"K-12 schools took over 50 percent of the cuts in the state budget this year," said Becky Zoglman, associate executive director of the teachers association. "Proposition 1B is one way to get some of that money back."
Others, such as Jonathan Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, dismiss the measure as little more than "a bribe to the state's largest public employees union," the 340,000-member teachers association.
Coupal is among those who contend the state's public schools and community colleges are not entitled to most of the $9.3 billion under a strict reading of Proposition 98, the 1988 initiative that set a minimum threshold for K-12 and community college funding.
A number of other prominent voices – the Schwarzenegger administration, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office and the Legislature's legal office – took the same position.
But Democratic lawmakers, who hold comfortable majorities in both houses, warned they would not accept such a deep, permanent cut in school funding.
"Public education took some big hits," Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in a recent interview. "An absolutely essential part of this budget agreement was to make sure we restore education funding."
Democrats and even some Republicans warned that schools could win in court and force installments on the $9.3 billion to begin in the coming fiscal year, when the state expects to face another gaping deficit.
Proposition 98 established a minimum funding level for K-12 schools and community colleges based on a number of complex calculations, or tests.
The law establishes a future funding obligation – an IOU known as a maintenance factor – if the Legislature suspends Proposition 98 or applies a test generally triggered in low-revenue years to reduce school funding.
Neither of those situations occurred in the current fiscal year, the Legislative Analyst's Office and others concluded.

Commission: Pre-K for poor students within decade
WASHINGTON An Education Department commission is recommending pre-kindergarten programs for every poor student within 10 years, adding a timeframe to President Barack Obama's similar call to help the least advantaged arrive for their first day of classes as prepared as their counterparts from more affluent homes.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Tuesday released his Equity and Excellence Commission's report, which is not binding but includes input from his top aides and the White House's chief education policy adviser. In the report, the commissioners documented the inequalities of the nation's schools and recommended ways to ensure that students from poorer neighborhoods aren't automatically enrolled in less-effective schools.
"The time has come for bold action by the states - and the federal government - to redesign and reform the funding of our nation's public schools. Achieving equity and excellence requires sufficient resources that are distributed based on student need, not ZIP code, and that are efficiently used," the 52-page report urged after two years of study of the gap between rich and poor students.
The report called on a new federal program to send tax dollars to schools with high numbers of low-income students, especially those with large gaps between the best and worst students. The commission also urged Washington to offer other money as an incentive for states to spend their own money on schools with high concentrations of low-income students and to make sure it is not too easy to become a teacher.
"We asked them not what they thought we wanted to hear but what they thought," Duncan told reporters on a conference call to announce the commission's findings. "In far too many communities, the children who need the most help get the least."
Those recommendations were likely to find resistance in Congress, which is facing pressure to come up with a plan by March 1 to reduce the deficit. Absent a deal, potentially devastating spending cuts would automatically kick in, affecting everything from defense to existing pre-kindergarten options to meat inspection and port security. But the commissioners, many of them from colleges' education departments and advocacy groups typically friendly to the administration, said they wanted to give their best advice to the Education Department independent of politics.
Obama has outlined a broad proposal to partner with states, which would set up their own pre-kindergarten systems and in turn receive federal dollars. Some states are already operating pre-kindergarten programs; Obama cited Georgia and Oklahoma during his State of the Union address and later visited an Atlanta-area program to promote his idea.
Administration officials have refused to outline their proposal's details or cost, and instead suggest reporters wait for the president's budget to be released next month.
While these recommendations are independent of the administration, White House education adviser Roberto Rodriguez participated on the panel, as did Duncan's chief of staff and four other top Education Department officials. The commission delivered its final recommendations to Duncan on Feb. 2, ahead of Obama's Feb. 12 State of the Union address that gave pre-kindergarten programs a star turn.

the ufc will now sue tito for libel. just watch.
Tito Ortiz and girlfriend Jenna Jameson made an appearance today on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio. As expected Tito had some choice words to say about UFC president Dana White, comparing him to shady boxing promoter Don King. Listen to the audio clip below:
I've worked so hard for [The UFC] and put my ass on the line. I've fought injured and with a torn ACL and a bulging disc and still put my ass on the line, and they still don't show me respect.
Dana's like Don King. The only thing that separates him [Don King] and Dana White is the color of their skin.
The talk about the UFC and Dana White starts around 18:27 :
the ufc will now sue tito for libel. just watch.
Am I the only one that is sick of hearing about these two people? Tito had his run but I do not think he could ever be a champion again he has to start realizing that he his old news. Can not wait until he gets his ass kicked against Machida.
tito needs to get his head in the game and ditch the slut. he's got a big challenge in machida the dudes a freakin ghost when he fights.
I made it through about two minutes an had to turn it off. It seemed too much like Jenna is in control and Tito just talks to support what she's saying. Tito uses the same joke in every interview. "We've been together one year, seven months, three days, and four hours….blah blah. Tito I hope everything turns out good for you but I would advise you to listen to Too Short when he says "never turn a hoe into a housewife."
Well if Tito is happy enough said, maybe some can understand and some can't, but who are we to judge someones personal life. I just hope Tito can focuse and start winning again, love or hate Tito, he sells tickets. He's a Hall of Famer no matter how you look at it. Go Tito……
Tito is right about Dana, he is an A-hole like I said before he doesn't pay his fighters what their worth and look what he did with Pride, Pride was one of the best fighting spectacles of our time and he bought it and ran it to the ground and destroyed the competion and with the fighters he didn't want because Pride was a better organization than the UFC. This isn't news everyone in the MMA world knows this, Tito at least has the balls to say it.
Whatever happen to Dana White vs Ortiz?
I though Dana getting beatdown by Tito would be too funny.
Tito..backed out of the fight at the last minute…after Dana went thru alot of shit to get licensed by the Nevada State Atheletic Commission. Basically Dana begged and convinced them that we would not get beat to a pulp and that he really stood a chance at his age… Tito is a puss,,he shoulda beat Dana's ass..after all it was his Idea to fight in the first place….but in the end Dana is lucky cuz he didnt stand a chance in hell of whipping him…..would of been a massacre,,,,
Seeing Dana get his punkass get whipped would be priceless. Tito kick his ass, the whole MMA community would gladly appreciate it.
Tito Ortiz needs to focus on Machida or he is in for a rude awakening! I think Machida is going to give Ortiz a wake up call!
I think Tito is pissed because he has just one fight on his contract left and he wanted an opponent who he stood a good chance of winning. Machida is a top contender and a damn good fighter. I'm with you guys, he needs to take this fight very seriously, his training seriously, or he will lose in a bad way. He needs to not gas in the third anymore. If he loses bad it will take his stock way down when he tries to sign with another organization.
i never liked tito but i watched all of his fights he is a big part of growning the ufc where it is today and he may not ever be the champ again but is a top competitor and i don't like seeing the ufc get rid of fighters especialy veterans that helped them that are still competitive.
also with the moves the ufc has made lately there is alot of top fighters that are not in the ufc they can't be the best if they don't have all the best fighters they are giving alot of room for other organiztions to improve and maybe surpass them.
I'm not going to judge Tito's relationship. I don't care what he does in his personal life. Everyone has to have a personal life outside of their career. And regardless of his personal life, he's going to get beat by Machida and leave the UFC. I just hope it's a good fight.
With people not being happy in the UFC and trying to make an exit, veterans as Randy, Tito, Arlovski and others are looking for other avenues and Dana of course like a bitch is gonna try and sue them. He also told Cro-Cop if you don't fight here you retire, my advice to all other fighters try not to make a deal with the devil please apply else where. Dana rather bring WWE clown Brock Lesnar and pay him more than veteran UFC Frank Mir, don't worry WWE fans Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock will follow, yes it's becoming Dana's dream to be Vince McMahon. I hope an organization that actually cares about their fighters comes into the scene because we all know the UFC doesn't.
the color of their skin, huh? somehow he managed to miss three meters worth of gray, spiked hair.
haha i was thinkin the same thing big D
Everyone hates Tito, just because he speaks his mind which might over shadow his greatness as a MMA fighter, his only 2 big losses are against 2 of the biggest names in MMA, which are Randy and The Iceman. Yeah Machida is good but Tito is better, just let the Huntington Beach Bad Boy do his thing. Tito is gonna make a believer out of all you's.

MIL rant
Mother to Noah(7/14/08), Jacob(4/9/10), EDD(2/27/12)
Comments (3)
Oh no, "helping" you pick names is out of line. Tell her so. You don't have to be mean or snarky but let her know that the naming will be done by the people who created the baby. If you're not comfortable with direct confrontation just smile and say something like "it's not on our list" to every suggestion she gives you from now on. If she asks you what IS on the list say something like "there are a few names we like so far" She'll get the hint eventually.

BeautySnark...ain't no reason snark can't look pretty.
My mother is bad about doing the same thing! With my other two girls she would have the front and back of a sheet of papers full of names. It would get really old really quick!
This time around my husband and I have both decided on first names pretty quick they might still change but my mother just tonight was like I really hope you change your boys name I just don't like it. I told her well you have plenty of time to let it sink in b/c it is our decision to make.
I have a feeling that my MIL will try and do the same thing. Or she will tell us that we should spell it diffrent like she did my DH. SOrry lady they are our kids and we will name them and spell them how we want so back off!!

HoopsHype Jimmer Fredette rumors
Jon Santiago: D'Alessandro reiterated what we had heard and that a buyout for Jimmer is not imminent. Both sides still talking. #SacramentoKings Twitter @itsjonsantiago
Brian May: Pete D'Alessandro says the decision about Jimmer "was made in October" & that Kings are talking to his people about buyout Twitter @BMayNews10
Jon Santiago: Jimmer & Rudy Gay both repped by Octagon. Been told Kings not worried about dealings w/ Jimmer impacting future contract negotiations w/ Gay Twitter @itsjonsantiago
Adrian Wojnarowski: Knicks haven't ruled out Jimmer Fredette, league sources tell Yahoo, but organization's focus with two available roster spots: Defense. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Marc J. Spears: The Utah Jazz have max 15 players on roster and have not discussed free agent guard to be and ex-BYU star Jimmer Fredette, a source said. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Because he is among the best 3-point shooters in the league — he makes 49.3 percent from the arc — Fredette figures to attract much attention once the waiver process begins. Because Fredette played at BYU, he has long been linked to the Jazz, but sources indicated that Utah showed no interest in trading for him last week, even at a rock-bottom price. Sporting News
The Sacramento Kings and guard Jimmer Fredette are finalizing a buyout agreement on his contract, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Fredette, the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, will be a free agent should he clear NBA waivers. Yahoo! Sports
Adrian Wojnarowski: Denver had significant trade discussions with Sacramento on Jimmer Fredette before the deadline -- then made the move for Aaron Brooks. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Nevertheless, he has struggled to find his niche with the Kings. Still, there are expected to be several teams with interest in signing him for the rest of the season, league sources said. Fredette, 25, has averaged 5.9 points per game for the Kings this season – and seven in his three-year NBA career. Yahoo! Sports
Sam Amick: Can confirm that Jimmer Fredette is close to a buyout agreement with the Kings. Add another interesting name to Feb. free agency. Twitter @sam_amick
Jason Jones: Kings would take a 2nd round draft pick for Fredette, who can still shoot, but has never played enough to do it consistently in Sacramento Twitter @mr_jasonjones
Jason Jones: Nothing imminent with Jimmer Fredette, who is in need of a fresh start. Played 4 minutes last night; Kings want to see more Ray McCallum. Twitter @mr_jasonjones
Adrian Wojnarowski: Kings still shopping Jimmer Fredette, unable to find deal for him so far, league sources tell Yahoo. A 2014 second-round pick could get him. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Here's Malone told the media in New York last night when asked about Jimmer Fredette's 24-point performance of the Kings' bench last night: "I give him credit, this hasn't been an easy season for Jimmer and I realize that. At times his playing time has been a little inconsistent. But one thing I've been telling him lately, and I sent him a text the other night, is that I still believe in him. I need him to come in and play with confidence and be aggressive. He changed the game tonight. It was about to be a 25-point game and his ability to come in that first half and get us back into it was huge. The first six minutes of the quarter, we outscored them 17-4. So, great defense and Jimmer carried the load offensively. We don't win this game without Jimmer." Sulia
The Kings continue to be active in trade talks. The two most mentioned names are guards Marcus Thornton and Jimmer Fredette. Combined they become an interesting salary cap value that could return a major salary player. The problem is there does not seem to be a whole lot of interest in either player. The Kings have been linked to Denver in an Andre Miller-Jimmer Fredette swap and that may still go down as Denver gets closer to the deadline. The Kings already triggered a major move to get forward Rudy Gay from Toronto and it seems that they are continuing to try and add meaningful players to the roster. The Kings have no shortage of interesting trade chips, the question is what can they truly get done at the deadline. Basketball Insiders
Nevertheless, I'm told the Kings are looking to buy good players, not sell them. But the Kings don't have a lot of assets that people covet at the moment. Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson, Jimmer Fredette and Carl Landry would all be available for teams making a run at the playoffs, but no one is beating down the doors for those guys. ESPN.com
Jimmer Fredette has had an up and down start not only to this season, but also to his NBA career. His minutes have yo-yoed back and forth during his time with the Sacramento Kings. Lately, that's started to change and Fredette is finally seeing some consistent action on the floor. He may not be playing the minutes his diehard fans would like, but Fredette now knows he's part of the rotation. That may be one of the reasons for the third-year guard's improved comfort level on the floor according to Chris Jent. Among his many duties, the Kings lead assistant often works on shooting with Fredette and the other guards as well the wings during pregame warmups. Cowbell Kingdom
"Well, I think with Jimmer it's stated, and I think it's probably accurate for any player, is that he knows he's gonna play," Jent said in an outtake from this week's Cowbell Kingdom Podcast. "And when you know you're going to play, you've got a different approach to your day. "You're in your routine," added Jent. "You know you're going to step on the floor and you've just got a certain comfort level – before game, during game." Cowbell Kingdom

Spencers did it - it was their trademark. Generally, if not always, they were finished in a different colour than the hull & deck, a bit like a cove stripe - presumably to make the final finishing easier.
