Been here? Rate It!
A good place to keep cool on these steamy days
Just above the loudest point in the city – the Bryant Park subway station, which hits 93 decibels, greater than nearby Times Square's mark of 76 – you can find the New York Public Library, one of the city's most beloved spots of peace, quiet, and beauty. This 103-year-old library is famed for its upstairs reading room, the size of two city blocks and capable of seating 500 people, which I think that I loved so much because it reminded me of the smaller, but otherwise very similar Reading Room at the main Duke University Library. Both are lit by bronze Carre-and-Hastings lamps. Get a spot at one of the long wood tables with bronze lamps, read a bit, then look at the skyscrapers through the windows below to see the reflection of what looks like ceiling murals of cloud-filled skies. If even the Reading Room is too busy and noisy for you, an even quieter alternative is the more modest, nearly as majestic, DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room, a left turn from the first-floor main entrance (bypassing the steep granite stairs).
Aka the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the New York Public Library is a grand Beaux-Arts icon east of Times Square. Fronted by marble lions named 'Patience' and 'Fortitude,' walking through the entrance can be a real jaw-dropper. There are exhibits, too, including a copy of the original Declaration of Independence, a Gutenburg Bible, plus 431,000 old maps. There are free tours at 11am and 2pm Monday to Saturday and 2pm Sundays (closed Sunday in summer).

Impressive Library
The Library occupies 2 city blocks and the area originally was a stone-walled water reservoir, the stones from the walls were used for the foundation of the library. The majority of the books, periodicals, and maps it holds are kept in stacks which comprise several levels of basement,
Free 1 hour tours are given twice daily. Be sure to see the great reading room which displays the Library's Gutenberg Bible.

New York Public Library
With over 50 million books the New York Public library is the second biggest library in the US, and the third largest in the world. Only the Library of Congress in Washington and the British Library in London outrank it. In addition to just sheer size the library is housed in a wonderful neoclassical building that is made of solid Vermont marble and brick.
It's huge, stretching well over a hundred meters down fifth avenue. It contains the world famous Rose Main Reading Room, also huge, lined with thousands of books, lit from over a dozen large arched windows, and from chandeliers hanging from the ornately decorated ceiling. There's also a map room that is so well stocked that it was used during World War 2 by the American military starved of information on foreign territory.
A quick walk through the Library
If they only had libraries like this everywhere else.
Take a short walk through the New York Public Library (a stone's throw away from Times Square). You might recognize some of the rooms from movies..
Certainly worth dropping in on and seeing!
Best Free Thing #3: The House where Pooh Lives
This is one gorgeous building. The New York Public Library (Midtown - 5th Avenue) is a Beaux-Arts confection well worth a wander. Designed by architects Carrère & Hastings and built 1902-1911, it was financed through combined endowments from Samuel J. Tilden, John Jacob Astor and James Lenox and was, at that time, the largest marble structure ever constructed in the United States.
Highlights include:
• The Deborah, Jonathan F. P., Samuel Priest, and Adam R. Rose Main Reading Room (third floor)
• McGraw rotunda with WPA Project murals and ceiling by Edward Laning (third floor)
• The REAL Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger (ground floor, Children's Room)
• A rare Gutenberg Bible (may or may not be on display)
The library offers free tours and a bookshop - see the website for hours, details, floor plan and much more about the history. Click "Humanities and Social Sciences Library" for this particular branch, or just use my link. You'll be expected to pass through a security check to enter the library, exit the Reading Room, and to check large bags, umbrellas, etc.

New York Public Library
Proving that some of the best things in life, even in New York City, are free was turning out to be easier than expected but it's one thing to find them outdoors and another to find some inside, especially on a cold winter's day. I can thank my wife for this one and it shouldn't have come as such a surprise as we had just a few months earlier been blown away by the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Yes, we're talking about the New York City Public Library. While not quite as elaborate as its DC counterpart, it emanates New York City power, style, and class none-the-less. To put it in perspective, it is leagued with its Congressional counterpart, Boston Public Library, and Harvard and Yale's libraries as amongst the five most important libraries in the US. But we weren't here to actually do any research, we just wanted to soak in all its atmosphere, glance at its Lenox copy of the Gutenberg Bible, and imagine being able to use this incredible place on a regular basis. One more reason to want to live in NYC, right?

Surprise for the Art Lover
Hungarian visitors are likely looking for Mihaly Munkacsy's oil on canvas painting, "Blind Milton dictating 'Paradise Lost' to his daughters" which can be found in the Edna Barnes Salomon room on the third floor gallery.
The famous hungarian painter was rewarded with gold medal on the Exposition Universelle 1900 in Paris for this picture.
Except some colors of the furnishings and in the youngest girl's rosy cheek, this is so dark a painting, you can almost feel your own sight dimming as you take it in.
I was surprised to encounter "Blind Milton" here again, knowing that it is on permanent exhibition at the Hungarian National Gallery in the Royal Palace-Budapest.
As it turns out, there are two version of Munkácsy's painting, the one in Budapest is the smaller of the two.
If you are interested in cognition of some other masterworks of him, in the Metropolitan Museum you can do it, according to my knowledge at least three paintings are in the museum.
Open Mon, Thurs-Sat 10am-6pm, Tues-Wed 11am-7:30pm, Closed on Sunday
Admission free

NY Public Library
On May 23, 1911, the main branch of the New York Public Library was officially opened in a ceremony presided over by President William Howard Taft. The following day, the public was invited. Tens of thousands thronged to the Library's "jewel in the crown." The opening day collection consisted of more than 1,000,000 volumes. The New York Public Library instantly became one of the nation's largest libraries and a vital part of the intellectual life of America.
Two famous stone lions guarding the entrance were sculpted by Edward Clark Potter. They were originally named Leo Astor and Leo Lenox, in honor of the library's founders. These names were transformed into Lady Astor and Lord Lenox.
The main reading room of the Research Library (Room 315) is a majestic 78 feet (23.8 m) wide by 297 feet long, with 52 feet high ceilings—lined with thousands of reference books on open shelves along the floor level and along the balcony; lit by massive windows and grand chandeliers; furnished with sturdy wood tables, comfortable chairs, and brass lamps. Today it is also equipped with computers with access to library collections and the Internet and docking facilities for laptops. Readers study books brought to them from the library's closed stacks. There are special rooms for notable authors and scholars, many of whom have done important research and writing at the Library. But the Library has always been about more than scholars, during the Great Depression, many ordinary people, out of work, used the Library to improve their lot in life.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Over the decades, the library system added branch libraries, and the research collection expanded until, by the 1970s, it was clear the collection eventually would outgrow the existing structure. In the 1980s the central research library added more than 125,000 square feet of space and literally miles of bookshelf space to its already vast storage capacity to make room for future acquisitions. This expansion required a major construction project in which Bryant Park, directly west of the library, was closed to the public and excavated. The new library facilities were built below ground level and the park was restored above it.

The New York Public Library
Established in 1895, the New York Public Library is one of the most important libraries in the United States. It has numerous locations around New York, but its main edifice is on Fifth Ave and 42nd St. It was built in the early 20th century, and inaugurated in 1911, in a Beaux-Arts style with classical inspirations designed by the architecture firm, Carrère & Hastings. At the time of its completion the New York Library was the largest marble building in the United States. Two large lion sculptures by the sculptor Edward Clark Potter flank the main entrance, nicknamed "Patience" and "Fortitude". The halls of the library are amazingly decorated with marble, carved wood and ceiling frescoes. Occasional interesting exhibitions take place within the library, but otherwise, it is worth visiting the interior simply to glance at its beautiful halls. And while you're visiting, do not miss Bryant Park, which is located behind the library building. With its giant plane trees and cafés set against the Beaux-Arts library building, the park is reminiscent of Paris. In summer months, open air concerts and movies are played at the park.

A Book Lover's Paradise
Back in 1902, Dr. John Shaw Billings, the newly appointed director of the New York Public Library, became responsible for the construction of the Research Library on Fifth Avenue. His plans included a Beaux-Arts marble building that would feature an enormous reading room with high ceilings, plenty of natural lighting and chandeliers, comfortable chairs and massive wooden work tables. The Research Library finally opened on May 23, 1911.
There are thousands of reference books available, and a system was designed to allow employees to retrieve the books quite rapidly. Nowadays, computers and laptop plugs have been added to the reading room, and although I'll always be partial to the Boston Public Library's reading room, this one was also quite impressive. I also enjoyed walking along the corridors where you can see special rooms that are dedicated to famous authors and scholars. It almost made me consider applying for a Ph.D.!
The Humanities and Science Library on Fifth Avenue opens every day at 11:00 am. There is a gift shop, and special exhibitions are on all year long. Tours are offered everyday at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm (only 2:00 pm on Sundays), but you can also visit the building on your own.

New York Public Library
The library is situated in Manhattan's on ritzy Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Street. Several million people travel through the doors of the New York Public Library each year and an amazing 1.8 million individuals are NY library card holders.
It took 500 workers 2 years to dismantle the reservoir that was situated at the site where the library was to be built. The cornerstone was laid in 1902.The library finally opening in 1911.
The library's famous lion statues that sit outside the main entrance – fashioned from pink Tennessee marble - welcomed nearly 50,000 visitors on the library's first official day of business.
The library's collections number in the tens of millions and some of the holdings are simply magnificent – such as the Gutenberg Bible and the manuscript copy of Jefferson's document which would become known as The Declaration of Independence.
New York Public Library
On my recent visit to New York, I finally had a few minutes to visit the interior. Take the elevator up to the 3rd floor to see the Rose Main Reading Room, a room nearly 2 blocks long with ceilings covered in murals, rows of oak tables and carved woodwork. Other highlights include the DeWitt Periodical Room on the 1st floor, the McGraw Rotunda at the top of the main staircase and the Astor Hall, the marble foyer on the 5th Avenue side. I think I saw a sign with guided tours so stop at the information desk if you are interested or check out their website.
I love the marble lions standing guard outside the Library, I have bookends that I bought years before I ever went to New York at home
New York Public Library
This is the main branch of the New York Public Library. It is housed in a beautiful building. When it was opened in 1911 it ranked as the biggest marble structure ever built in the United States. On the 3rd floor is a massive reading room, designed for about 500 patrons. So if it's a bit wet and windy outside, grab a book and head head up to the third floor to read the book and admire all of the art inside.
Calm your mind in the Public Library
My kids wanted an internet fix, so we took the subway to Bryant Park and went into the NYC pUblic library.
You can't appreciate the spendour of this magnificnet public building until you actually walk up the steps and enter into the huge entrance hall, and then proceed upstairs into the main reading rooms.
The rooms are simply eye-popping in their architecture and decoration. Look up to see three huge paintings of the heavens framed in by mouldings and gold leaf that will have you awestruck.
Then wander over to the computer by the infomation desk and sign for an Access card (even lowly tourists can do this). Then go over to the access kiosk where you can pick up a photo ID card. This takes 5 minutes. NOW you can book some time on the computer, to check your email, book some tickets, or ???.
The library limits time to 45 minutes and only once a day but that's ok, because when you have doen what you need to day, take a walk around the library or take a tour - very interesting.
The washrooms have the coldest water in NYC. Just great on a hot day.
Be sure to check out the gift shop on the first floor. There will be items here that you can't get elsewhere. I got some really nice thank you cards with classic photos from the early days of the library.
When you need a snack, pop out into Bryant Park grab a cold beer and a sandwaich at one of the kiosks, and find your way to the library's free outdoor reading area. Here you can pick up a newspaper, magazine, or book, and enjoy a delightful hour in a cool park, surrounded by a sea of humanity.
Dont miss this library.

Fran Dodds I am researching my husband's family. Searching for his GGrandfather, David Dodds. Married a Kelly, maybe Mary Kelly. They had a son, my husband's great-grandfather Reuben Moses Dodds, born 4-4-1842/died 6-18-1918. "Mose" had a brother John, killed during Civil War; a brother named Jesse. Moses and Jesse came to Chester, SC after Civil War. Married, lived, died, buried here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. "Mose" had a grandson named Melvin.

Devin Hester contemplated retirement after the Bears season ended and head coach Lovie Smith was fired. Later the 30-year-old suggested he could seek a trade. New head coach Marc Trestman is undecided what role Hester will play on the Bears in 2013. "Right now, he is back. He'll go out there and compete to be our returner. What he does beyond that depends on how he performs in that first role as a returner." General manager Phil Emery echoed those comments. "He'll compete to be our returner," Emery said Thursday from the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, via the Chicago Sun-Times. "What he does beyond that depends on how he performs in that first role as a returner." There would not appear to be a huge market for Hester. Hester's base salary and workout bonus total $2.1 million while his cap number is $2.9 million.

Gee its been hot ..admittedly nothing like the extremes in other other parts of the country, but weve still had a few weeks of temperatures consistently in the high 30s .too hot for pleasant riding.
So last Monday and Tuesdays forecast of 31-32c looked like a good opportunity for a little ride Ive been thinking about.
Load the Flat Earth
navigational system.
Stick to the bitumen for the first hour or so from home.
First stop Kilkivan. Topped up the tank at the servo across the road from here. Shes lookin dry eh?
Mustve been a bit of a wild storm through Kinbombi area last night.a lot of branches down for a few kays along here.
Ah, this is what Im after . Im looking forward to a couple of days just cruising around on back roads.
Went past this station homestead somewhere along the way ..cant remember exactly where it was.
I probably shouldve enhanced this a bit, but I doubt itd make much difference. Its just down the western branch of the upper
. If you look closely there are about half a dozen feral deer just to the right of the tree.
Just out east of Nanango somewhere. Hope you like pictures of a bit of road with a motorbike in the foreground therell be a few of them.
Just the other day we were just talking about those little National Trail markers. By the way I wasnt on the National Trail so much as the National Trail was on the road I was taking ..as it is a fair bit, at least around this general area.
Had a bit of a look around and got a bit bushed in the East Nanango Forestry for a while.
Ah, now (according to the Flat Earth
, anyway) Im right but Im not real sure about Snowy!
Into Nanango, top up with fuel and head out sorta
north west
Ah, now where was this again? Cant remember exactly, but not far from Nanango. Last thing I expected to see was mud, even a little bit like this. And look at that grass , theyve obviously had a lot more rain out here than closer to the coast.
Bloody beautiful day. High 20s, with a gentle breeze. Just cruising along, taking my time and this looks like a nice little spot for
On the ..err road err again. Thatd be the
off to the south there. From there the Great Divide swings around to the north, making it to the west of where I am now.
Get it?.....cause Im not sure I do!
And right on cue, theres a bit of it to the west now. This district is known as Ironpot. Im guessing that (there, centre distance) is the geographical feature the name is taken from.
But I could be wrong. Maybe its named after this ..the Ironpot Farmers Hall.
Now, this is the type of gate I like and lovely light springs too!
Nice little spot on the creek, by the (quiet) roadside. Filed for reference as a future possible campsite.
Up the road a bit I followed the dingo fence for .well about long enough to take this photo really. Theres a good gravel road running parallel about 10 metres away.
Some people must have penalty units to burn. There were a couple of gates open along here.
Sounds scary. Luckily, well before nightfall I plan to be well and truly ensconced in the safe and luxurious surrounds of .
.the Jandowae Hotel. I thought Id travel a bit lighter and shout myself a room. It was alright .Clean sheets, clean and modern bathroom facilities and you cant complain at $30.00 a night. I still reckon Ill be back to camping next time.
Early the next morning I had breakfast in the park and went for a bit of a stroll around town. Jandowae is a pleasant town though its probably fair to say not the bustling centre it obviously once was.
Railway freight crane. The old branch line from Dalby is long gone.
Bottle trees tell you youre west of the Great Divide (just) Conadamine catchment around here. As the dingo fence goes all the way to
South Australia
so does (a lot of) the water.
Local tourist attraction. Aww look, hes even got his own little dingo fence.
A few of the many empty shops.
Lots of unusual buildings. Old Picture Theatre maybe?
And the pubs. All three of them still going ...
..Top ..
..Middle .
and Bottom
Away The it's backroads to Durong. Taking it real easy as it was still only about 7 o clock and there was a lot of kangaroos in all that grass.
Rest of the 2
day later.

43 year old man | Montreal, QC, CAN | Seeking women 30-40 within 20 miles
...like baklava chock full of omega 3.
Finding a kindred spirit is undoubtedly a challenge. Even with the best of intentions, you never know who you're going to meet. It so happens I'm a patient optimist who loves challenges - career, physical, spiritual emotional (these perhaps the most challenging but I venture the most fulfilling). My friends weigh in that what separates me from the flock is that I don't fit into any archetype whatsoever, citing the irony of subjecting myself to the discerning tastes of the hoi polloi. I'll spare you my meditations on the matter suffice it to say, I could write a book on the revelations of LOVING someone who falls outside my comfort zone. 'It's a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the heart.' What I can say with certainty is that I am drawn to women with grace and dimension; those who cultivate kindness and self-awareness…the daring and caring variety who can laugh at herself and plow through the disappointments. A shrinking violet, diva or somewhere in between. The rest is gravy. A Proust questionnaire is charming. A strict checklist isn't. In the words of a dear friend (about me): "For what it's worth, I'm strongly of the opinion that you have the best of both worlds - the brain and the brawn - simply takes some time for a lady to make it past the honeyed presentation. You're like baklava chock full of omega 3's. (I'm laughing to myself imagining you're perturbed perplexed expression)" Perhaps that sums me up (the perturbed, perplexed expression, I mean) Namaste

I'm somewhat obsessed with music.In my spare time I love making playlists and burning them for friends family. I appreciate a good read, especially in winter.
I enjoy wandering the city, venturing into book stores, record shops, cafes, art galleries, et cetera. You could say I embrace all forms of art and culture.
I usually have 2-3 books on rotation (mainly Literature/fiction), although presently I'm reading a Outliers (Gladwell), Thinking, Fast and Slow (Kahneman), and The Pigeon (Suskind). I also enjoy the magazines: Monocle and Lapham's Quarterly.

'Saturday Night Live' preview: Helen Mirren, the grandest of dames
It's a veritable British invasion over at "Saturday Night Live" in April.
On the heels of Sir Elton John, Dame Helen Mirren makes her hosting debut on the April 9 episode -- and if the promo is any indication, we expect to be very pleased seeing the Academy Award winner in such unfamiliar territory.
In three vignettes with "SNL" star Fred Armisen, the two share an inside joke, come onto each other and do the electric boogaloo.
There's nothing like a good "Breakin' 2" reference to get you though hump day.

eBook Category: Science Fiction
eBook Description: A SCIFI novel about nuclear war. Out of a bright hope unfolds a tragedy. The science has two opposite centers. One reflects our nuclear-armed world. The other reflects the domain of spiritual freedom where old axioms become discredited and fall away. Around the first center the world unfolds as a dangerous place. Irrationality has become an institution. Plans are forged that nobody really wants. They take on a life of their own and become a force by which people are unwittingly carried along. However, when the grim unfolds and our worlds are shattered, many institutions are shattered likewise. Among these is one that has held the forces of truth in confinement, which might have helped us avoid the grim. As the simple science of these forces unfolds, it shifts the center towards universal love. The brightening spark permeates relationships, uplifts romance, sex, friendships, especially our love for our own humanity. The spark becomes a fire. In its light people begin to treat another as human beings. The fire brightens what it touches of our world. Except, when the 'gold' is not kept precious the world of the grim invariably dims the horizons again and the precious drifts out of sight.

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at UCLIC. My research is currently funded by a personal EPSRC Doctoral Prize. The title of the project is "Working from home: investigating how interruptions impact remote workers".
I was previously a PDRA on the EPSRC-funded CHI+MED project, which aims to make medical devices safer through improved interaction science and design.
I completed my PhD at UCLIC under the supervision of Anna Cox and Duncan Brumby.
Research Interests
My research is concerned with how people are able to deal with interruptions. Interruptions can disrupt performance, with potentially serious consequences in safety-critical environments. How do people decide whether to deal with an interruption or leave it until later? When people know they will be interrupted, how do they prepare? After an interruption, which factors affect whether people able to resume their tasks correctly? My work has focused on answering these questions.

Bakuman. (バクマン。?) is a Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, the same creative team responsible for Death Note. It was serialized in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from August 11, 2008 to April 23, 2012, with the 176 chapters collected into 20 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. The story follows talented artist Moritaka Mashiro and aspiring writer Akito Takagi, two ninth grade boys who wish to become manga artists, with Mashiro as the artist and Takagi as the writer. Some characters resemble real authors and editors of Weekly Shōnen Jump, and many manga titles mentioned in Bakuman have actually been published in the magazine.
An anime television adaptation of the series created by J.C.Staff began airing on NHK-E on October 2, 2010. The third and final season of which ended broadcast on March 30, 2013. A live-action film adaptation is set for a 2015 release. Bakuman was the seventh best-selling manga series of 2011 and the tenth best of 2012, with nearly 4.4 million and over 3.2 million copies sold those years respectively. As of May 2014, it has over 15 million volumes in circulation. Additionally, it is the first manga released online by Shueisha in multiple languages before becoming available in print outside of Japan. In 2009, Viz Media announced it had licensed the series for a North American release. Besides releasing the series in collected volumes, they also released it in their online manga anthology Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha.
The plot begins when Moritaka Mashiro, a junior high student, forgets his notebook in class. His classmate, Akito Takagi, notes Mashiro's drawings in it and asks him to become a manga artist to his stories. Mashiro declines, citing his late manga artist uncle, who died from overworking. Takagi incites Mashiro to meet with Miho Azuki, Mashiro's crush, and tells her the two plan to become manga artists. In response, Azuki reveals her plans to be a voice actress. Mashiro proposes to her that they should both marry when Azuki becomes a voice actress for the anime adaptation of their manga. The two then start creating their manga, under the pen name Muto Ashirogi, in hopes of getting serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump.
After submitting many one-shots to Shueisha, Ashirogi begin with their first published series in Weekly Shōnen Jump, Detective Trap, which is eventually canceled due to its declining popularity, after Mashiro is hospitalized for overworking on the manga. Their next series is the gag manga Run, Daihatsu Tanto!, which they give up on, realizing it will never be popular. After being challenged by the editor-in-chief of Jump to create a superior manga to their rival's, Ashirogi develops their current series Perfect Crime Party. It is met with considerable popularity but due to its theme, is unfit for an anime series. When their rival, Eiji Nizuma, submits a one-shot for serialization, Ashirogi competes by submitting Reversi which replaces Perfect Crime Party while the latter is moved to Shueisha's fictional monthly magazine, Hisshou Jump. After many conflicts involving the graphic novel sales and the voice actress choice, Reversi is chosen for an anime adaptation with Miho as the primary actress, after she passes a public audition. After fulfilling their dreams, the series ends with Mashiro officially proposing to Miho at the place they made their promise, followed by their first kiss.
Written by Tsugumi Ohba and drawn by Takeshi Obata, Bakuman was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from its premiere on August 11, 2008 to its end on April 23, 2012.[1][2] The 176 chapters were then collected into 20 tankōbon volumes from January 5, 2009 to July 4, 2012.[3][4] Several chapters of the series were released on Jumpland's official website in Japanese, English, French, and German; the first chapter released on August 19, 2008. It is Shueisha's first manga to be released online in multiple languages before becoming available in print outside of Japan.[5] A 15-page one-shot of the series Otter #11, the gag manga created by the character Kazuya Hiramaru in Bakuman, was published in the August 8, 2010 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump.[6] It was then published the following week in Shōnen Jump Next on August 16.[7] Viz Media included an English translation of it in the free SJ Alpha Yearbook 2013, which was mailed out to annual subscribers of Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha in December 2012.
In addition to the success of Bakuman in Japan, the series has also been licensed worldwide: in Korea by Daiwon C.I. and serialized in their Comic Champ manhwa magazine,[8] by Tong Li Publishing in Taiwan, Kana in France, Norma in Spain, Tokyopop in Germany, Comics House in Malaysia, Kim Dong Publishing House in Vietnam, in Brazil by Editora JBC and NED in Thailand. At San Diego Comic-Con International 2009, Viz Media announced it had licensed the series for English release in the US and Canada.[9] The first volume was released on August 3, 2010, and all 20 volumes have been published as of August 6, 2013.[10][11] In addition to the collected volumes, Viz also published the series online in their manga anthology Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha.[12] Bakuman started with chapter 162 in the anthology's debut issue on January 30, 2012, and ended with the series' final chapter released on May 7, 2012.
A 25-episode anime television series based on Bakuman was announced in Weekly Shōnen Jump's second issue of 2010.[13] Created by J.C.Staff, it began broadcasting on NHK on October 2, 2010 and ran until April 2, 2011. In December 2010, Weekly Shōnen Jump announced that a second season would air in Fall 2011; it ran from October 1, 2011 to March 24, 2012.[14][15] A third and final season was announced in the 3/4th (2012) combined issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump and began airing on October 6, 2012.[16] It ran for 25 episodes between October 6, 2012 and March 30, 2013.
In August 2011, Media Blasters licensed the first two seasons of the Bakuman anime for North America, including an English-language dub.[17] The first seven episodes were included on a 2-disc DVD set released on November 22, 2011, however, the second was halted in February 2012.[18][19] The first Blu-ray release was cancelled indefinitely in June 2012.[20] Viz Media Europe acquired the rights for release in Europe and the United Kingdom in March 2012, in collaboration with Manga Entertainment and Kazé.[21] After Media Blasters' cancellation, Kazé revealed the UK release would be subtitled only.[22] In November 2012, Media Blasters officially announced they are discontinuing the series, but added that Viz Media might pick up the license for NA.[23]
A video game adaptation of Bakuman was made for the Nintendo DS by Namco Bandai Games.[24] The game was released in Japan on December 15, 2011.[25]
Live-action film[edit]
In May 2014, a live-action film adaptation of Bakuman was announced. Currently set for an October 3, 2015 release, Hitoshi Ōne is directing with Takeru Satoh starring as Moritaka Mashiro and Ryunosuke Kamiki as Akito Takagi.[26]
Bakuman. was nominated for the third annual Manga Taishō award in 2010.[27] The first volume of the series placed fourth on the Oricon manga chart during its debut week, selling 154,675 copies.[28] The second volume followed suit, placing second during its first week with 228,056 copies.[29] The third volume continued the trend and placed fourth during its debut week, selling 200,369 copies.[30] During the first half of 2009, the first volume placed twenty-eighth and the second volume placed twenty-seventh on Oricon's list of fifty top-selling manga in Japan, selling 381,633 and 394,567 copies respectively.[31] Bakuman was the seventh best-selling manga series of 2011, with almost 4.4 million copies sold, and the tenth best of 2012, with over 3.2 million sold that year.[32][33] As of April 2012, over 13 million copies had been sold,[34] with this number growing to over 15 million copies in publication by May 2014.[26] In the United States, volume one debuted at number 6 on the New York Times Manga Graphic Books list for the week of August 12[35] and remained on the list for eight weeks straight.[36]
Jason Thompson referred to Bakuman. as "a love letter to the manga industry done in old-school shonen manga style." He felt that while it can be "text-heavy" on the process of making manga, it is ultimately a "heroic story of self-improvement, friendship and striving to succeed." Thompson cited the villain characters as the most interesting, but called the series sexist for only portraying females as "bitter, man-hating viragos motivated by grudges against men" or "patient helpmates" striving to support them instead.[37]
Carlo Santos of Anime News Network praised the conflicting viewpoints of the protagonists and was surprised that the series succeeds, not only as a manga about manga, but as a slice-of-life story about the dreams of youth. However, Santos remarked that the series could learn from Ohba and Obata's previous serial Death Note; commenting that the beginning is not as gripping and the plot twists are "pretty weak" and "seem like petty contrivances." Despite this, he believes that the series is "another hit."[38]
Christopher Butcher reviewing volume one for About.com had strong praise for the art, calling it "quite possibly the best-drawn manga out today." He also enjoyed the behind-the-scenes information on the manga industry. Like Thompson, Butcher did state that while he enjoyed it, he has reservations about recommending Bakuman. because it is "horribly sexist."[39]

Overall a very nice range.
By AL2Bad

Very well made, nice controls and finish/ controls should have been in the rear not in front. Would have had 5 stars if they would have supplied the ! 1/2" spacer you need at the rear of the range to finish the installation off!!!!
Easy to use.

I am enjoying using this product. It is very easy to use, is very nice looking and I love the easy cleaning features.
Excellent Features
By HappyHomemaker1
from Indiana, USA
We just purchased this stove as a replacement for the same model. The first one lasted 11 years before the ceramic top cracked. We were pleased with the first stove and oven. We did have one burner with problems after 6 years. It only worked on high. We hope for more years out of this one since we now have an empty nest and don't cook as much! Extreme care is needed with the ceramic top. I have learned to move all possible items that could fall on it away from the stove top!

Revamped from its original "double album" version of 350 pages into this unique "remix," To Repel Ghosts captures the dynamic work and brief life of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.In spare, jazzlike verse Kevin Young tells the story of Basquiat's rise from the mock prophet and graffiti artist SAMO to one of the hottest painters of the 1980s ("blue-chip Basquiat / playing the bull / market"), exploring the artist's bouts with fame and heroin, mourning his untimely death, and celebrating his legacy. Along the way Young riffs on Basquiat's paintings and sayings, on the music he loved, on the artists he ran with (Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, among them), and on the black heroes (Charlie Parker, Muhammad Ali, Billie Holiday) who inspired him.Young's poetic channeling of Basquiat–a jostling, poignant brand of downtownspeak–makes for an urban epic in the tradition of Langston Hughes's "A Dream Deferred." To Repel Ghosts, along with Young's Jelly Roll: A Blues and Black Maria, his recent book of film noir verse, forms an American trilogy–Devil's Music–that explores other art forms through poetry. In its creation, Yound has become a poet whose work speaks both for and beyond his genre, with a music all its own.
New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age
Kevin Young is the author of six previous collections of poetry and editor of five others. Jelly Roll was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and won the Paterson Poetry Prize; For… More about Kevin Young

36 year old man | PRI | Seeking women 21-28 within 60 miles of Newport Beach, CA
Smiles are good :)
I moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico a few months ago for a new job. Since then I have been focused on figuring out the city, and, as a result, I haven't really had time for anything else. Now, I am settled in and hoping to have more of a social life. I would like to spend more time exploring all the awesome things that Puerto Rico has to offer (beaches, restaurants, concerts, etc.) and maybe find someone to join me. Looking for someone that is smart, adventurous, down to earth, fit, fun and, most importantly, likes to laugh. Send me a message if you want to know more about me... or just wink (I'm not above it) and I will follow up with a witty response :) Cheers, -pbr

35 year old woman | Kennesaw, GA, USA | Seeking men 30-45 within 50 miles
Looking for someone to take in what life has to offer with
I am originally from Pennsylvania and have been in the south for about 12 years. I have spent most of that time in Georgia and have grown to really like the state (rainy weather this summer NOT included!) I have been living in the Atlanta area for a little over 3 years now. I'm settled in and loving it! I have a great group of friends that are very important to me, a house that I'm proud of, and a dog that is constant entertainment. I'm not sure he ever stops moving, so he keeps me moving with him. I work in the IT field and love the work I do. Don't worry though, I'm not the grumpy IT person you may have in your office that you loathe calling when your computer won't cooperate. Instead I tend to be the person trying to drag at least a smile out of everyone, even on the craziest day. I'm also the designated practical joker in both my social and work circles. My recent crowning achievement was covering an entire office, down to the individual pens on the desk, in aluminum foil. It took a lot of foil, but it was legendary. I'm also a bit of a thrill seeker so I'll say yes to just about any adventure that will force me to challenge myself and face a fear. I think we all come out stronger on the other side when we do that. Certainly you can get me on any ride at the amusement park, the crazier the better. This past year I went bungee jumping and whitewater rafting. My goal is to go skydiving by the end of the year. Still working up my nerve on that one, quite frankly, but I'll get there. I can be a homebody now and then but I can get cabin fever pretty quickly. I enjoy going out to try new restaurants and I rarely say no to an invite to kick back at a local watering hole with friends, just to get out and about. I'm no stranger to hitting the dance floor and cutting a rug every now and then. I'm not claiming to be Ginger Rogers or Beyonce, but I've got a few moves up my sleeve and can definitely hold my own. I also enjoy live music so I'm always on the lookout for who's on tour. I feel like I've reached a point in my life where I have really figured out who I am and have settled into it. I am ready to share all of these adventures and laughs that life has to offer with someone special. I think that they only way to find that someone is to get out there and meet people, so here I am. Lightning may not strike but I still look forward to some opportunities to meet some great people and we'll figure it out from there.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 2/20/13
PHOENIX On a rainy morning at Phoenix Municipal Stadium on Wednesday, Chris Young worked out in a cramped exercise room alongside new Oakland Athletics teammates. It was a far cry from the sprawling complex he'd used last spring at Salt River Fields but merely a small change in the big picture for the center fielder. After being traded from the Diamondbacks after last season, Young faces a slew of adjustments with the A's, from new teammates and coaches to a new role and new positions. "I know guys get moved around quite a bit in baseball, but it was a little different for me just because I had been there my entire major league career," Young said. "So it's been a tough adjustment period, for sure. I'm not going to say it's easy." The first challenge Young faced was moving on from life as a Diamondback, the only team he'd known for all 885 games of his major league career. The D-backs were going in a different direction, which Young understood, but that didn't make the news of ...

Landscapes of Taste. An electronic tongue for protein analysis
Electronic noses are used to sniff out exhaust fumes and assist with quality control of foods. Less well known is the fact that equivalent devices, electronic tongues, are capable of recognizing dissolved substances. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, French researchers have now presented a new and particularly simple approach to making an electronic tongue that can differentiate between proteins.

New Treatment for Stroke? Ceria nanoparticles could lessen the damage from ischemic strokes
The most common form of strokes are caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow to the brain (ischemia) that leads to an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. These so-called ischemic strokes are one of the leading causes of death and disability in industrialized nations. If they are not immediately remedied by medical intervention, areas of the brain may die off. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, Korean researchers have now proposed a new approach for supplemental treatment: Ceria nanoparticles could trap the reactive oxygen compounds that result from ischemia and cause cells to die.
Luminescent Ink from Eggs. Fluorescent carbon dots can be made by plasma pyrolysis and used as printer ink
Luminescent carbon nanoparticles based on carbon exhibit advantageous optical properties. They are also biocompatible, and therefore better suited for imaging procedures in the biosciences than metal-based semiconductor quantum dots. A variety of processes have thus been developed to make these miniature objects known as carbon dots or C-dots. Chinese researchers have now introduced a new method in the journal Angewandte Chemie, by which C-dots can be produced particularly quickly and inexpensively. In addition, they have demonstrated the use of these luminescent dots as printer ink.
Enzymes Dig Channels. Enzymatic etching used to build nano- and microscale surface topologies
In living systems, complex nano- and microscale structures perform a host of physical and biological functions. While two-dimensional patterns can be recreated fairly well with techniques like microlithography, three-dimensional structures represent a big challenge. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, American researchers have now reported a new method for the lithography-free etching of complex surface motifs with the use of biodegradable polymers and enzymes. Starting with structured microchannels, they have built an assembly for the isolation and concentration of cells from whole blood.
Glowing Flowers for Ultra-Trace Analysis of TNT: Selective optical TNT detection down to the sub-zeptomole level
Highly sensitive and highly selective tests are important for the early detection of disease, the detection of environmental toxins, or for the detection of explosives at airports. Increased selectivity for the target analytes helps to avoid false-positive results. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, Indian scientists have now introduced a specific detection method for the explosive TNT that can be used to detect even a single molecule.

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced that the inaugural Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award will be issued today to Professor Christopher Bielawski at the Fall American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in Philadelphia, PA.
High potency and synthetic marijuana pose real dangers in first weeks of pregnancy
Writing in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis, American researcher's state the argument that marijuana is a harmless drug is no longer valid due to the emergence of 'high potency' marijuana and synthetic marijuana which pose a potential real threat for pregnant women.
Gold Nanoparticles Follow "Genetic Code": Different sequences of DNA influence morphology of growing gold nanocrystals
Gold is not just the material of choice for pretty jewelry; it is also used in technology, for example in nanoscopic particles for applications such as catalysis, biomedicine, and sensors. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team of American and Chinese researchers has now demonstrated that the morphology of gold nanoparticles can be controlled when they are synthesized in the presence of DNA. Depending on the DNA sequence used, the shape and surface roughness can be varied.
Dual Role for CO2: Continuous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to pure formic acid in supercritical CO2
To reduce fossil fuel consumption while simultaneously improving the carbon footprint of fuels and chemical products, the use of carbon dioxide as a carbon source could be an attractive option. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, German researchers have now introduced a method by which carbon dioxide can be catalytically hydrogenated to make formic acid. In this process, carbon dioxide is not only a starting material; it also acts—in a supercritical state—as the solvent for separation of the product. This integrated approach makes it possible to directly obtain free formic acid as the product in a single step for the first time.
Wiley Launches New Interdisciplinary Review WIREs Energy and Environment
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced the launch of a new interdisciplinary review publication, WIREs Energy and Environment, publishing online this month.
Glowing Fingerprints: Researchers make latent fingerprints visible with help from electrochemiluminescence
Fingerprints are not just important in forensics and the identification of people; they can also be used for security clearance, access control, and the authentication of documents. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, Chinese researchers have now introduced a new fast method to make fingerprints visible at high resolution.
CO2 as a Carbon Source? Homogeneous catalysis: ruthenium phosphine complex hydrogenates carbon dioxide to make methanol
Fossil-based resources are declining and their use releases the greenhouse gas CO2. Both of these problems could be significantly mitigated if we could use CO2 as a carbon source for the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks. Various different approaches are currently being explored for the catalytic conversion of CO2 to methanol (CH3OH). In the journal Angewandte Chemie, German researchers have now introduced a new possibility to conduct this stepwise reaction of CO2 in solution with help of a homogeneous catalyst.
Magnetizing Diagnostics: Magnetic Gram staining detects bacteria
Gram staining of bacteria is a routine diagnostic method of long standing that can be used for initial diagnoses and to simplify the choice of antibiotics. It is a simple way to classify bacteria into two classes—Gram-positive and Gram-negative—under a microscope. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, American researchers have now introduced an improvement to this method: magnetic Gram staining. This allows for the class-specific, automated, magnetic detection and separation of bacteria.
Increased Impact Factors for Wiley Titles
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced a continued increase in the proportion of its journal titles indexed in the Thomson ISI® 2011 Journal Citation Reports (JCR). A total of 1,156 Wiley titles (approximately 76%) were indexed, representing an increase of 5% from the 2010 JCR, and including 43 titles which have been indexed for the first time.
Secret of "Fetid Fluorite" Aired: Elemental fluorine F2 detected for the first time in a natural mineral
Why does "fetid fluorite", a mineral that is found in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria, Germany, have such an unpleasant sharp smell when it is crushed? Scientists in Munich have now found the solution to this puzzle, not only bringing an end to a controversial discussion that has been going on for about 200 years, but also altering a hard and fast textbook rule. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, the researchers have demonstrated that the stench is caused by elemental fluorine. This unambiguously proves that despite prior assumptions, elemental fluorine does occur in nature.
DNA as Future Electronic Components: Conducting nanostructures based on metallized DNA
Our electronic devices are getting smaller and smaller while doing more and more. Using conventional materials, we will soon reach the practical limit. The electronics of tomorrow require alternatives, such as nanowires made of DNA that can serve as conductive paths and nanotransistors for miniature circuits. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, German scientists have now described a new method for the production of stable, conducting DNA nanowires.

Unless you are planning to spend a lot of time and explore the areas really well as you travel, you have way too many clothes.
Your full time job on this trip will be to ride 6-8 hours per day. You are going to be filthy within 1/2 hour of leaving every morning. You are going to be tired and filthy when you get done in the afternoon. Once you get out of Mississippi no one will look twice at you when you walk into their restaurant covered in dust wearing unbuckled MX boots and jogging shorts.
I carry one pair of socks, one jersy and one pair underwear per day and I change those every day because it makes me feel clean. The guys that were on the last trip didn't change anything in the first 5 days.
You need one pair of pants for the trip don't bother trying to wash them on the road. I like the kind that you can zip off the leg bottoms. I carry a pair of lightweight shorts for hanging around or going to campsite wash rooms.
You aren't going to be playing basketball, you won't need the tennis shoes. I bring a pair of flip flops to wear around camp or to a restaurant if we go somewhere.
The weather changes a lot during the day, it will start and end cold and be hot in the middle. You aren't going to want to stop and dig through bags to pull out the perfect clothes.
You need a riding jacket that you can take off if it is too hot, put on when it isn't and put a liner in for the mornings or when crossing the passes.
Two pair of gloves is plenty.
The typical breakfast is granola and jerky. You will be stopping at gas stations every 3 hours. You can clean up there and get water (fill your camel back out of the soda dispenser don't buy bottled water) and it is really hard to pass up eating lunch at these establishments that sell hot food. You only need enough cooking stuff to heat up a can at night. I do like to percolate coffee in the morning.
If you are doing the whole three weeks, the weather will eventually force you into a motel. Go ahead and budget for a couple of nights. It will be a luxury that you will appreciate plus you'll get a chance to spread all your shit out, wash it and wish you hadn't brought so much.
You can't bring enough tools.
The hand pump is all you need in that department. Do you have practice dealing with those mouses? Check your wheel bearings before you leave.
Your cycle had a bell on it.
