Binghamton earns national designation as 'Innovation & Economic Prosperity University'
June 30, 2015Tweet
Binghamton University is one of only 18 universities nationwide to be named an Innovation & Economic Prosperity University by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), in recognition of its strong commitment to economic engagement.
"Binghamton University continues to be a significant player in the economic development of Binghamton, the Southern Tier and New York state," said Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger. "We are honored to earn such a designation."
As the only SUNY school and the only school in New York state to receive the designation, Stenger said Binghamton has been recognized as unique and will continue growing its partnerships. "The impact of these partnerships will be a centerpiece of our Upstate Revitalization Initiative application for $500 million to go to projects identified by our Regional Economic Development Council. This gives our region a huge advantage in pulling together our proposal."
The designation acknowledges universities working with public and private sector partners in their states and regions to support economic development through a variety of activities, including innovation and entrepreneurship, technology transfer, talent and workforce development, and community development. Each university received the designation after conducting a thorough self-review with outside stakeholder input and subsequently submitting an application that went through a rigorous independent review process.
"This designation is a testament to Binghamton University's ability to leverage research, resources and brainpower into real economic impact," said Per Stromhaug, assistant vice president for innovation and economic development. "Binghamton doesn't exist in a bubble, and we're thrilled to know that we're positively impacting the communities that, in turn, breathe life into the University."
"You know you're doing it," Stenger added. "You can feel it, but until you measure and assess it and put it in front of a panel of experts, it doesn't hit you. We're in the same category as an Illinois and Penn State in the impact that we can have. For a small university, we're doing the right thing and to have this added feature of being a community partner is special."
"Public universities serve as economic engines for their local communities and states by conducting cutting-edge research to reach new breakthroughs and developing the talent to help existing businesses grow stronger and enabling new ones to develop and thrive," APLU President Peter McPherson said. "The 18 institutions in the 2015 class of Innovation & Economic Prosperity Universities serve as wonderful models of how public research universities extend beyond their campuses to engage their communities in economic development that create jobs and improve lives."
The 17 other institutions that comprise the third annual class of Innovation & Economic Prosperity Universities are: Auburn University; Clemson University; East Carolina University; Mississippi State University; New Jersey Institute of Technology; New Mexico State University; Ohio University; Southern Illinois University; University of Arizona; University of Kansas; University of Louisville; University of Maryland; University of Nebraska-Lincoln; University of New Mexico; University of South Florida; Utah State University; and Western University.
Each designee conducted an institutional self-study and solicited input from external stakeholders, identified three areas of institutional strength in economic engagement and described programs in these areas. Designees also identified areas for growth and improvement for their university's economic engagement enterprise, and developed an improvement plan. This work demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and improvement in this kind of engagement vital to universities and their regional partners.
Applications for the designation were scored by a panel of reviewers representing other universities as well as national partners, including the Association of University Research Parks, the Association of University Technology Managers, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the Business Higher Education Forum, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Innovosource, the Lemelson Foundation, the University Economic Development Association, the National Association of System Heads and VentureWell. Scoring was based on a range of criteria emphasizing universities' development of their economic engagement enterprise, their planning efforts around economic engagement, strategic communications around these efforts, and participation in encouraging economic engagement among peer institutions.

If you were watching NBC over the weekend — and, actually, Nielsen numbers from the last few months suggest you probably weren't — you saw the Lorne Michaels version of what Saturday Night Live was like in the nineties, a Sunday-night prime-time clip show of the comedy franchise's Clinton-era highlights. ("Must have been a short show," quipped a New Yorker.) Want the non-hagiographic take on SNL in that era? We bring you back to the March 13, 1995, issue of New York and Chris Smith's cover story, "The Inside Story of the Decline and Fall of Saturday Night Live." Smith spent a month in and around Studio 8H, and he discovered a show with falling ratings, increasing expenses, mediocre writing, a miserable cast, and a detached executive producer in Michaels. "What's really killing SNL," he wrote," is a deep spiritual funk." From the archives, here's his account of that funk.

The Chief Bluesmoke do Iceland.
First of all.. the real star in this story is my old 1944 Indian Chief.. which got the nickname Chief Bluesmoke after an incident which included some prematurely failing piston rings and some thick blue smoke.
Why did a 22 year old boy get interested in indians .. ?
A short history follows:
I read an article about an Indian Chief in a Norwegian magazine, and after 6 months with a poster with a 40s Indian Chief above my bed, I made a promise to myself that I would have an Indian Chief on the road within 5 years. Not an easy project for a poor student and no mechanical background, but 5 ½ years later I had my 1944 Indian chief ready restored for the road. The chief was bough as a basketcase, with maybe 50% of the parts included.
Have had a bit of initial problems, and often troubles with repro parts and failing repairs. And add to that whatever mistakes I have made along the way. But its been an interesting learning process, and I can now fix most of the stuff myself. The old chief now sports a 84 (1400cc ) stroker engine, ollie cams, Keihin CV carburetor, 4 speed overdrive transmission and a working front brake from a late 60s Triumph. But apart from the carb and the front brake, its no visual changes.
Some days before the trip, trying to shake things into place..
Anyway, the Chief Bluesmoke have seen over 55000 kilometers over the 5 last years. Mostly on Norwegian twisty roads, but also some trips to
Usually I end up riding alone, since not too many I know have the time or the gutsJ to take their old bikes out on longer trips. Theres always something happening at work etc etc.. so its hard to get enough days off to do the longer trips in a slow pace. But the old chief is so comfortable that I can ride from morning until late at night without any aches. Strong headwind can be hard on the arms though, no windscreen on this bike.
Ive wanted to go to
My brother lived in
I started preparing for this trip last winter, however it didnt look like I was going to make it this year. And then I had to go to an Indian motorcycle meeting in august, since Im a part of the arrangement committee.
When June and then July came, I was still desperately trying to complete a project at work. So I couldnt book the ferry tickets, and my vacation had to be moved 3 times.
But I was very lucky to get the one of the last available passenger tickets for the ferry. I had to wait for 5 days before getting a green light for the bike.
The trip with the Smyril-line ferry was about $450 (3100 NOK) with a so called couchette cabin.. more on that later.
The ferry stops in
The route is a little bit intricate, and you will have to stay for 3 nights in the Faroe Islands if returning to
Waiting for my brother to unlock the gate at the sheep fence near our cabin.
So, I quit my job on Friday the 27th and put all the gear on the (t)rusty old Indian chief and headed towards the Telemark province and our cabin.
The bike ran great, and some hours later my brother met me at the locked fence with the new 6x6 Polaris ATV. They had been working on the rough gravel road all day. Every other year we need to fix the road, since the road washes out in the winter. Theres a steep hill on this road, and I decided to ride up there. Last year I almost lost the chief over the edge of the road there, down into the stream some 30 metres below. Well, I discovered that they had tried to smooth out the road this year and then the chief came to a stop in the loose dirt halfway up the hill and since I was hovering somewhere above the bike after hitting some rocks just before.. the bike went down on the right crashbar. Not much rear wheel traction when the frame is resting on the dirt, but I managed to push the bike out of the mess by doing some weird goosewalk with the right foot only Need to keep the left foot on the footclutch, you know.. J
Trying to fix the road..
After one weekend with roadwork and the family at the cabin, I left for
Btw, the Polaris 6x6 is such a great vehicle! It floats over the mud and rocks, and we moved quite a bit of gravel in the back of it.
I decided to take a chance on the E-134 over the Haukeli mountain, although there was a risk of waiting for up to one hour due to tunnel repairs.
The smaller vehicles were diverted to the old road which goes over the mountain instead of under it in a dark tunnel. On the side of this road is the even older road, dating back to the early 1900s . I stopped for a very short time to shoot some pictures, since there were some 100 cars waiting for the green light in the opposite direction.
The old "Dyrskar road"
Since I felt the bike was running a bit lean, I lifted the needle just before I left. But I managed to create a small leak the vacuum diaphragm in the CV carb. And this was now making the carb act funny.
So after a night in the tent (didnt sleep much the first night) outside
Lunch rest in Bergen
After a nice, but expensive lunch near the fish market in
Ive been to
After some hours the Norrøna ferry finally showed up, and was much larger than I expected. Its more of a hotel ship than a ocean liner, so I guess the winter trips can be rough.
The couchette cabins were actually 9 or 6 bunks in tiny rooms in the bottom of the ship. I did try to sleep down there the first night, but felt I was suffocating and had problems moving around in the top bunk. The following night I slept outside on the deck, until they started cleaning the outside deck at 5 in the morning.
BOOK early, and book one of the ordinary cabins. For the July through August trips, you should book as early as in February.
Its hard to relax when there are people and noise everywhere, but a good book and cabin can make the trip much shorter.
Apart from sitting in the cafeteria reading the lonely planet guide for
I met a guy from
I met several riders with road bikes heading for
When the ferry finally arrived in Seydisfjordur in
But with the help of the car deck crew, we managed to get the bike running
The rest of the bikers got stock in the customs.. but the customs/ border control just smiled when I came riding at high rpm (for charging) on the old noisy Indian.
Then.. it was time to hit the Icelandic road and
After 2 days at sea (with a short stop in the Faroe Island) I arrived Iceland
More later hope my writing is understandable my native language is Norwegian.. and there will be more pictures and less talk from now on..

The staff understand that these are lean times but sometimes it isn't transparent as to what leadership is doing to stabilize current and secure near-term opportunities to provide job security for current staff. With the government going to larger contractual vehicles that take a long time to award in certain markets, more seems to be at stake with each new competition. Also, more could be done to combat business leaders building fiefdoms instead of utilizing capable staff who are on the bench and aligned to another market.

Pachinko is a mixture of slot machine and pinball. The player is quite passive while playing pachinko. He or she is only controlling the speed with which many small steel balls are thrown into the pachinko machine.
Most of the balls just fall down the machine and disappear, but a few find their way into special holes. This activates a kind of slot machine. Like with slot machines, you win if the same three pictures appear. This occurs quite rarely in pachinko, but if it happens, you win countless new balls. When just playing for 500 or 1000 yen, you may likely just lose all your balls within a few minutes.
Pachinko machines can be found in pachinko parlors which are spread over the whole country. Many parlors also offer a corner with slot machines. One can recognize parlors easily because they are bright and colorful. Inside a parlor it is loud and smoky. Both men and women play pachinko and it is said that there are even a few pachinko professionals.
If you win balls, you can exchange them into goods that are available in the parlor's gift shop. But you can also bypass the law that prohibits gambling in Japan by exchanging the balls first into some special goods and then exchange them for cash at a small window just outside the parlor.

I'm back and glad to be here. My thoughts are on all the hero's who have and who will pay the ultimate price for society as we know it. Within the last few months the savage slaughter of our law enforcement has been horrendous. I truly believe this: It is time to step up the odds..kill a cop..automatic death sentence carried out within weeks not years of the occurrence. Our law enforcement families have lost Dads, Mom, Uncles, Aunts, brothers and sisters to cowards who are lower than snakes who crawl ont he ground. It is time our judicial system gave us some solid backing and went to bat for us. It is past time we had strong support and representation in all the courts, the prosecuter's offices, and the folks in Washington. God bless our family that are giving their lives and will give their lives while there is such a sorry punishment for the killing of a cop.

Mia Kirshner has been a fixture on our TV sets since 2004, when we met the egotistical, yet vulnerable, Jenny Schechter. After 6 incredible seasons, The L Word unfortunately came to an end, but Mia found a new home on The Vampire Diaries as Isobel Flemming. Now, Mia is jumping ship again… and this time landing on the set of Syfy's new drama Defiance.
Defiance will be set in a future world ravaged by war. It will follow Jeb Nolan (Grant Bowler)- the law-keeper in the town of Defiance.
Kirshner will take on the role of Kenya, the "sassy and confident town madam", according to Deadline.com
Defiance will also star Fionnula Flanagan (Lost) and Julie Benz (Dexter).
Defiance is written and executive produced by Rockne S O'Bannon (Farscape), alongside Kevin Murphy and Michael Taylor.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A single-vehicle motorcycle accident proved fatal for a Port Arthur resident on March 2.
A car theft in Port Arthur and subsequent car thefts related to the first carjacking report led Lafayette authorities to arrest one man who ended up stopping at a Louisiana hospital.
Eastern District of Texas U.S. Attorney John M. Bales and Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw today announced the formation of a multi-jurisdictional Task Force. The mission of the Task Force will be to investigate and prosecute major crimes – more specifically, violent crime and crimes related to the abuse of public trust.
A federal jury has convicted a 60-year-old Lumberton, Texas man of child pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales on Firday, Feb. 28.
Port Arthur resident Theodore Hardie, 31, has been sentenced to a term of 20 years in the state penitentiary and fined $10,000.00 in connection with a 2012 case where the defendant and his brother plotted to retaliate against the wife of a witness slated to testify in a Hardin County home invasion aggravated robbery announced Criminal District Attorney Cory Crenshaw. Hardie was convicted after a jury trial in the Criminal District Court (Judge John Stevens presiding)

VH1 Reality Star Kenya Bell Signs Major Record Deal
Kenya Bell, a former Miss Michigan USA and current star of the top-rated reality show, BASKETBALL WIVES, on VH1 has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Bungalo Records under the direction of Universal Music Group for her label C3K Records.
Season four of the wildly popular show, "Basketball Wives," introduced Kenya Bell to viewing audiences as an up-and-coming recording artist in the midst of finalizing a major marital chapter in her life. Kenya Bell's ambitious story line was explosive, making her debut season on the show the most watched in franchise history. Much more than a reality show star-on-the-rise, Kenya Bell is in the studio working on her R&B album debut.
"I am excited to work with Bungalo Records on this distribution deal and can't wait for the world to hear my music," said Kenya Bell. "It has been a lifelong dream to record an album and share my passion of singing with the world."
The distribution deal is unprecedented: No other reality television personality associated with a franchise of its kind, has successfully signed a major deal to release music.
"Kenya Bell is a talented artist and we are proud to partner with her on this one-of-a-kind deal, said Paul Ring, President of Bungalo Records. "Our record label has had a successful history of breaking talent into mainstream music platforms and look forward to continuing this momentum with Kenya Bell."
The first single under the distribution deal, "Hate Me" by Kenya Bell will be released worldwide on December 11, 2012 with her debut album to follow in 2013. The Jazze Pha produced track will be available on iTunes following the release date.
About Bungalo Records:
Bungalo Records has exclusively circulated music via Universal Music Group Distribution for 15 years, successfully providing UMGD with top 10 records in all genres of music.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Congratulations to all who are celebrating National Coming Out Day on October 11, 2012. The holiday is a day of celebration, but it is also a day to assess the continuing stigmatization of gay youth, who are often bullied and intimidated by their peers and by religious and political leaders. This year's observance emphasizes the importance of straight allies.
National Coming Out day was first observed in 1988. Inspired by the success of the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 11, 1987, Jean O'Leary, then Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Rights Advocates, joined with psychologist Rob Eichberg to create an event that would increase the visibility of glbtq people and encourage those previously silent to make their voices heard.
The symbol of National Coming Out Day is Keith Haring's iconic image of a person joyously bursting from a closet. It underscores the individual nature of this step, fosters solidarity among those who have made it, and offers hope to those who, for whatever reason, have not yet been able to kick open the door.
Over the years, National Coming Out Day has drawn many celebrity spokespersons, including Billy Bean, Amanda Bearse, Chastity Bono, Dan Butler, Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, Candace Gingrich, RuPaul, Muffin Spencer-Devlin, Michael Stipe, and Rufus Wainwright, among others. Allies, including Betty DeGeneres, the mother of Ellen DeGeneres and the project's first heterosexual spokesperson, Cher, and Cyndi Lauper, have also lent their voices to the effort.
National Coming Out Day has become a joyous occasion, particularly on college campuses, where young people are able to discover community and support. At the same time, however, the continuing problem of suicide among gay youths, who are often subjected to bullying and spiritual terrorism, means that this holiday is also a time of contemplation and reflection.
The Human Rights Campaign, along with Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), have stressed the significance of straight people coming out as gay allies in 2012.
Straight supporters are so important to our fight for full equality for LGBT Americans," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Just as it takes an incredible amount of courage to come out as LGBT, it also takes courage to stand up and say, I am a straight supporter."
PFLAG National Executive Director Jody M. Huckaby said, "PFLAG was founded by Jeanne Manford, the Mother of the Straight Ally movement, 40 years ago: a time when standing up and saying 'I have a gay son,' or 'I have a lesbian friend' was unheard of. Since she came out as an ally, we've seen the power of parent allies in PFLAG, and friends and colleagues through our Straight for Equality project."
PFLAG has published a guide for straight supporters to build bridges of understanding when someone they know comes out to them. The guide answers initial questions and shares facts, strategies, and ways to show support for glbtq equality.
The guide is released as a growing chorus of high-profile heterosexuals have spoken out in support of glbtq equality. President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, NFL players Brendon Ayanbadejo and Chris Kluwe, actors Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, singer Beyonce Knowles, Microsoft founder and CEO Bill Gates, musicians Jason Mraz and Carrie Underwood, and many more have joined millions of everyday straight supporters who have stood up for their glbtq friends and relatives.
In an interesting article in the New York Times, John Schwartz recently offered an unusual perspective on National Coming Out Day, that of a parent of a child who has not yet come out.
Schwartz writes, "Some people approach this particular square on the calendar with pride and courage, others with trepidation. Then there's a third group, which gazes at the day with an uncomfortable blend of longing and impatience. These are parents who know, deep down inside, that a son or daughter is almost certainly gay, but hasn't worked up the nerve to open up about it. And many of them want to scream, 'Would you just come out, already?'"
Schwartz says, "In our family, by the time our youngest son came out at 13, my wife and I had long progressed from inkling to conviction. A toddler who wore a feather boa around the house and pleaded for pink light-up sneakers with rhinestones is probably telling you something, even if he doesn't yet know what it is."
He observes that many parents worry whether being closeted could be taking a psychic toll on their gay or lesbian child, yet they do not know how to indicate their own openness to the idea of him or her coming out.
Since young people are now coming out at ever earlier ages and since there has been so much attention to the problem of bullying and suicide, parents are sometimes torn as to how best to prepare for the possibility that one or more of their children might be glbtq and how to help them if they desire to come out.
Schwartz recounts how he and his wife handled this dilemma. "In our family, we knew that Joseph was probably gay, and we saw in problems he was having at school that he was under psychological pressure. We believed that keeping his sexual orientation under wraps (he's since told us that he knew he was gay from the age of 8) was aggravating the situation. But we were reluctant to force him out of his closet."
"We asked our gay friends what they would have wanted at Joe's age. They confirmed: don't push, unless Joe seemed to be in real distress. It's his secret to reveal, they said."
"But they also suggested that we make it clear that however our son turned out, we'd accept and love him--and to work references to gay life into our daily conversation instead of treating it as a touchy subject best left alone."
"We did, and Joseph came out to me one evening when I had taken him out for sushi at a local restaurant; he was telling me about ways that he unsettled the other boys by dropping comments like, 'Do you think Josh has any idea how attractive he is?' I asked if maybe he wasn't trying to tell them something--and asked if he might also be trying to tell me something. 'I might be,' he said. And so we knew."
The take-away of Schwartz's article is that parents need to communicate that their love is unconditional and that they are open to discussing all topics, including sexuality.
Although it remains rare that parents are so accepting that they actually encourage their children to come out, it is important to recognize that the support of parents, family, and friends has helped move us closer to equal rights and to happier lives, and thus National Coming Out Day is a good time to celebrate the coming out of our allies as well as ourselves.
In observance of National Coming Out Day, Dan Savage and Terry Miller presented their second It Gets Better special on MTV, which features the coming out stories of three young people. It may be viewed below.

NILAI: Nineteen-year-old A. Tamilarasi who slipped into a coma after a bout of fever while undergoing national service training at a camp in Port Dickson in February last year has died.
The only daughter of former lorry driver K. Anandan, 42, and housewife A. Krishnamary, 41, died at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital on Wednesday evening. She had been warded for high fever.
Tamilarasi, who was in the hospital for more than a year, had been in semi-comatose state and relied on a ventilator to help her breathe.
Doctors, who failed to diagnose her illness, said her chances of recovery were remote.
Anandan said Tamilarasi was discharged in February after doctors did not see any improvement in her condition.
"We had to bring her home as there was no other option. We cared for her the best we could. She fell ill again on Tuesday and was warded but died the next day," said Anandan at his home in Taman Desa Cempaka near here.
Anandan said they had only been feeding milk to Tamilarasi since she first fell ill.
Tamilarasi enrolled at the PDS Resort NS camp in Pasir Panjang, Port Dickson, on Jan 2, 2010 but fell ill a fortnight later.
Anandan was shocked to see his daughter's condition when he went to bring her home for the Chinese New Year holidays and admitted her to a hospital on Feb 8, last year. She slipped into a coma.
Anandan even lost his job then as his wife and he had to take turns to look after Tamilarasi.
"My two boys, aged 20 and 16, were already working to help make ends meet. We had no choice as we had taken loans to look after Tamilarasi," he said, adding that it cost the family RM200 a week to buy a special formula and diapers for their daughter.
"As far as I am concerned, my daughter fell ill while she was undergoing NS training. Someone has to be responsible for her death."
Tamilarasi was buried at a Christian cemetery in Sg Pelek, Sepang.

Step 1: Tools and Materials
* Old CDs
* CD labels
* Packing tape
I used the following tools:
* Calipers (or other measuring device)
* Dremel (with high speed cutter, cutting wheel and grinding drum)
* De-burring tool
* Dust Collection System (Optional)
Step 2: Measure
I then measured the diameter of the center hole in the CD.
The difference in size is the amount of material you'll need to remove from the CD. In my case it was 47/100ths of an inch. I rounded up to half an inch.
Now an error crept in, in my measuring. I measured a half an inch from the edge of the hole in the center of the CD. I should have measured a quarter inch so I would end up with a total of a half inch of material to be removed. The consequence is I have a much bigger hole than I needed. (Unfortunately I didn't notice anything was amiss until I was putting it on the rod).
This measuring error happened to coincide with the transition from the clear plastic to the data area of the CD so I didn't bother to mark the outline. It was already done for me. When I make more of these (assuming Mrs. RadBear wants more) I'll need to mark the plastic so I'll know how much to remove.

At the end of the ceremony, Murphy returned to the stage to give the special awards to Lear and Alda. In accepting his award, Alda, who played the wise-cracking, anti-authoritarian Army surgeon Hawkeye Pierce, said Lear opened the door for a show like "M.A.S.H," because on "All in the Family" he showed that "now we could be funny about things that were serious."
Alda, the only person ever to win U.S. Emmys for acting, writing and directing in the same series, said "M.A.S.H." owed a special debt to the Korean War veterans who shared their personal stories.
"These are the people who really lived through the stories we told decades later — the men and women in those hospital tents who went through the cold of winter and the blood and the pain, the loneliness, and seeing their patients die, some of who were only a couple of years away from being children," Alda said.
Lear, who met Murphy for the first time in person at a luncheon earlier in the day, said he felt deeply that "the world needs to come together and will come together through the arts." Reeling off a list of present-day shows from "Homeland" and "Mad Men" to "Modern Family" and "The New Normal," he observed that "this is the golden age of television."
Lear, now 90, couldn't resist the chance to plug a new script he had written about elderly people in a retirement home, but said no networks were interested in the "missing demographic" of those 55 to 105. He said he wanted to title the show "Guess Who Died."
The other Emmy winners included France's police drama "Braquo_Season 2," about a group of Parisian cops who circumvent the law, using violence and intimidation, for best drama series; Germany's "Songs of War," in which "Sesame Street" composer Christopher Cerf explores the relationship between music and violence after learning his songs had been used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, for arts programming; and "The Amazing Race Australia" for non-scripted entertainment.
Six International Emmys for children's programming will be presented at a new awards ceremony on Feb. 8 in New York.
Korean entertainer J.Y. Park presented the honorary International Emmy Directorate Award to Kim In-kyu, president of the Korean Broadcasting System. In taped introductory remarks, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recalled how he met Kim more than 20 years ago when they were both working in Washington, and described the broadcaster as "a man of vision committed to a deepening broader understanding of Korea and sharing Korea's timeless stories across Asia and around the world."

Alex Ovechkin is so good, he's an All-Star at a position he doesn't even play. That is apparently the conclusion of the NHL media after selecting Ovechkin on Wednesday to the All-Star first team at right wing, where he played all 44 games this season, and to the second team at left wing, where he played just four. That's right. The Washington Capitals star, a left-winger prior to this season, changed positions under new head coach Adam Oates before this campaign. After a brief stint back at left wing , Ovechkin played the bulk of this past season at the new position, where he tallied the majority of his league-leading 32 goals. He received a dominant 103 first-place votes at right wing and finished second only to Chris Kunitz of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the left-wing voting. A total of 45 voters gave him either a first- or second-place vote at the phantom position. All this despite a memo being sent out by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association, attempting to clarify to ...

Vengeance Coming
Bang! You're Dead! by Louise Simonson and... Rob Liefeld... is the New Mutants entry into Marvel's Acts of Vengeance as the falsely imprisoned New Mutants members Rusty Collins and Skids battle against the Vulture and try and stop the Spider-Man villain from releasing Nitro from captivity.
Let me note that the previous two issues of New Mutants are listed as Acts of Vengeance tie-ins but other than two pages setting up this issue, there is no other relevance to the crossover. Those pages detail the Vulture's escape from prison and Rusty's failed attempt to stop him from getting away. This issue also marks the debut of Rob Liefeld as penciller for the book and the first appearance of Nathan Summers as Cable.
This is a really good issue even with the artwork by Liefeld. It's great seeing Rusty and Skids get the spotlight, even if only for an issue, and the two's battles with Nitro and Vulture are both pretty good. We also get a tragic ending with Freedom Force arresting the duo and falsely reporting that they were in cahoots with Nitro and Vulture to ensure they are not given a chance to tell the truth they discovered about the government and Freedom Force.
Yes, the writing is good and the story is great but...yes, Liefeld. I was willing to look the other way for the first few pages, ignore the dog's feet the Vulture consistently sports and the constant jaw-dropped look Skids carries on her face... because this is a really good story. Then we got to Nitro. Oh dear. Nitro for some puzzling reason is always screaming and has the most unusually fat face. Things only went downhill from there with a sequence of Rusty and Skids climbing ladders and climaxed with one of the worst Blobs I've ever seen drawn.
SO, yes, the art is poor as you'd expect from Mr. Liefeld, but if you can squint or ignore it for as long as possible, what you have here is a really good issue. This is just a great New Mutants story and the only thing holding it back is the god awful hack they allowed to take up pencilling the book with this issue. I would love to see this issue redrawn by anyone else.

OldSchoolTama's Virtual Pet Log
Posted 20 August 2011 - 07:22 PM ( #161 )
Tamagotchi iD L
My gal says hello from our vacation spot! She enjoyed the view.
After enjoying the fresh air, we came back home and took care of her happy items. She enjoyed flan from Tama Bakery before coming back home to make a performance for her fans. So Madonna-like. Her 3rd happy item is the white hat from Tama Mori. So stylish! Now we just need to wait a couple of days for her to earn her last happy sign.
Etsuko evolved into Makiko today (didn't get to take a picture). Thinking of taking the batteries out of my +C during my short break so that I will have time to run other Tamagotchis. She's enjoying our vacation as well.
Stay tuned for more updates!
Posted 21 August 2011 - 11:41 AM ( #162 )
Still out of town on vacation (my Tamagotchis say hello from one of our vacation spots HERE ) until the 17th so I took as many pictures as I could. I had a slight mishap with my camera, which fell into the shallow pool of a waterfall we visited so I couldn't take pictures for a while but everything's good now! Nothing much happened on the 16th. I'm still waiting for Sakiko the iD L to earn her last happy sign and I'm leaving my +C to run. Probably going to take the batteries out when I get home. Here's what happened on the 17th and 18th, after my camera recovered some more.
Tamagotchi iD L
Sakiko earned her last happy item on the 17th, so now her character is stored under the book icon.
I didn't take her to the matchmaker until the 18th. Before going, she made sure to tidy up the house for our new arrival (about halfway through, I realized that my icon background had changed back to one of the previous ones again...so I changed them back to the music notes) and then took a quick bath to spruce herself up for the occasion.
She fell in love with Kuchipatchi and they were married.
Sakiko came home with an egg and out hatched a baby boy! I named him Fumio ("literary/scholarly child").
He evolved into Furutsupantchi, whom I haven't seen in a while. I think I'm going to go for the teen Happabouyatchi, whom I also haven't seen in a while.
Now that I'm back from vacation, I'm going to start up some more Tamagotchis soon. I've taken the batteries out of my +C for now. Got to take care of several things that I let sit while I was gone and so when things settle down a bit more, I'll hopefully have more Tamagotchi tales to tell. Until next time!

Tamagotchi iD L
Fumio needed a bath when he woke up.
He evolved shortly after breakfast. I did get the teen I wanted. Here he is in all his cuteness. I love the little berries on his head that appear when he jumps for joy.
He looks so sad when he's ill or has a toothache though. =/
I made sure to play with him a lot during the day. He sure lights up the room when he's happy!
Not aiming for any particular adult at the moment, although I would prefer to have anyone but Sunopotchi and Kikitchi (the first two characters in that lineage), since I've already had them. We'll see! If I lose track of how many care misses I've had, I could just go all out with the care misses to be safe and get Spacytchi.
Stay tuned for more! I'm going to have another go with my Oceangotch again in a couple of days or so.
Posted 22 August 2011 - 11:02 AM ( #164 )
I received a request to run my TMGO again (by the way, thanks to superchamagirl for stopping by ). Ive got to admit that the TMGO isnt a huge favorite of mine but I havent run it in a while so Ill be willing to run it for at least 1 generation. Got to leave room for all the other Tamagotchis Id like to run (especially the formidable Oceangotch, which I promised to resume running when I failed the first time back during my summer break part I)!
Short entry today and no pictures, unfortunately, because I was running around doing errands for most of the day.
Tamagotchi iD L
My guy evolved into Spacetchi today. Awesome, another unique character! Ill be getting his happy signs starting tomorrow. Until then!

Tamagotchi iD L
Happy signs for Fumio today! We decided to splurge and go out to dinner in order to get all these happy items. He enjoyed steak at the Restaurant and a little tiramisu (looks delicious!) from Tama Café (which he ate with the fork that was earned HERE). When we came home, I presented him with a gift: a brand new metal guitar, which I got for a fantastic price (thanks to the bag that was earned HERE). I was treated to a great performance by my guy and his band. He's a star, just like his mom (Madonnatchi ). I'm so proud!
Fumio retired for sleep in very good spirits.
What is seen after resetting and before setting the time.
I started up my Oceangotch this evening. Hopefully I'll have better luck with it this time. I'm going to go ahead and re-post my >>>hatching video<<< (again, sorry for the quality...you'll probably get the idea anyway) and most of the pictures (some will be new) from my previous Oceangotch hatch, since what happens is pretty much the same anyway, at least in the beginning. Since I hatched my Oceangotch (whom I named Neptune, after the Roman god of the sea…here's hoping he won't morph into a female-looking character or anything like that!) in the evening, he went straight to sleep after evolving into a toddler.
Planktontchi, the baby.
Kuragetchi, the toddler.
By the way, if you're curious, I do put in some detail HERE about all the Oceangotch icons and some of the neat little features that come with this challenging Tamagotchi.
More adventures to come!

Tamagotchi iD L
Big day for Fumiko today! He earned his final happy sign in the morning.
After some breakfast and washing up, we headed off to the matchmaker to find my guy a wife. Fumio met up with 3 lovely ladies, but Shigurehimetchi in particular caught his eye. They were married after a whirlwind romance.
Fumio came home with an egg and from it hatched a baby boy, whom I named Hotaka ("step by step").
Hotaka evolved into Kaubotchi after an hour.
To be continued...
Posted 24 August 2011 - 06:53 PM ( #167 )
August 22, 2011 (continued)
Today was a fantastic day for Neptune! I kept a very close eye on him and rarely let him empty more than one hunger and/or happiness heart. I didn't keep track of how many times the polar bear made an appearance, but I never let the fuzzy bear get my guy!
Look out, Neptune!
In case you're curious to see what happens when the Ocean character gets attacked by the polar bear, watch closely. NOTE: the following are pictures from my last hatch. I did not subject Neptune to this cruel and unusual punishment. You can thank Poseidon, the name of my last Oceangotch character for testing out the waters for the sake of experimentation. =/ To explain what happens, it may be necessary for me to go back and explain the calling/discipline icon.
Calling/Discipline Icon: This icon is used whenever the Oceangotch calls for attention and it won't accept food or play the game (discipline). If you pay attention enough, the Oceangotch will call so many times that the discipline meter will be filled in one day. After that, it stops calling for discipline (unlike the Osutchi/Mesutchi Tamagotchis, which continue calling for discipline even after the meter is completely full). This icon also serves as a calling icon for when a polar bear is about to attack, that bully. Luckily, the Oceangotch beeps when this happens. If you hear a beep and see that your Ocean is snoozing, not paying attention to the fact that there's a polar bear on the edge of the screen, press A and it will highlight the calling icon immediately (meaning you don't have to scroll to it). Your character should then be slightly alerted (as indicated by the "?" next to the character's head). You would also need to tap the screen to further alert your Ocean and scare away the polar bear. The Oceans are equipped with a motion sensor for this purpose (Tamagotchi Angel/Angelgotch, Devilgotch, Morino also have motion sensors).
If you leave your Ocean alone long enough while the polar bear is poised to strike like that, the polar bear will attack. If you press the A button but don't tap the screen, the polar bear will also attack. I have a picture of that here.
Never again...at least not intentionally. Unless I'd like to get a clearer picture someday. I don't know if it will get any clearer than that though because it happens so fast. Also, I don't want to subject my poor Oceangotch to that.
If you let your Ocean get mauled by the bear, your character will float back onto the screen all woozy-looking and a skull will appear, letting you know that you have to administer medicine. If you press this icon while no discipline or calling is needed, this happens:
Back to what happened today...
What made me feel extra accomplished today was that Neptune didn't get inked by the octopus. Not once the entire day! I think I might have some sort of a rough theory on how to MAYBE prevent that from happening (at least prevent it from happening as much as usual) but I really think it's a random thing.
Don't forget to check this and keep the water clean!
Again, I do provide a detailed account of the icons for the Oceangotch starting HERE, if you're interested.
In other news, I caved and purchased another Tamagotchi. XD Not from Ebay this time but from a fellow member. Please join me in welcoming this V1 to my virtual pet family!
I already have two V1s but I currently don't have any European Connection versions in my collection and, well…it's blue. XD As strange as it sounds, this particular combination of the 3 colors on the shell have a special significance to me, making this purchase all the more meaningful. Anyway, I got a great deal for it and it's being shipped from overseas. I'm looking forward to receiving it, along with my KeiTama that's coming in the mail (it's been a little over a week since it was shipped so it should be arriving in a few days…hopefully!).
Thanks so much for reading!

Tamagotchi iD L
My guy evolved into Bokuhoshitchi today.
The only adult that I haven't yet gotten in that lineage is Shutotchi, so I'll be going for him next. I made 4 or 5 care misses today. Nothing much going on with my guy after he evolved into a teen. We went outside in the evening to plant a Retro Toys seed. It was raining so it'll have plenty of water to grow. We'll check on it in the morning.
Well, I had several errands to run today, which meant that I was less attentive to my Oceangotch than I was yesterday, and it showed. I got inked a whopping 8 times today! Neptune was not happy, but I made sure to clean him up right away and play more games with him.
Here's a blurb on the treasure chest game:
When you select the treasure chest icon, 2 treasure chests appear, both flapping their lids open and closed. The objective of the game is to guess where the treasure is hidden by selecting the "A" button for the chest on the left, or the "B" button for the chest on the right. There are 5 chances to select per game and scoring at least a 3 out of 5 will increase happiness hearts.
Occasionally, an octopus will appear from one of the chests and ink the entire screen, leaving your Ocean character in a murky sea of darkness, filling up the entire water purity/clarity meter (all the skulls will be darkened), and emptying all 4 happiness hearts. Sorry about the blurriness of the first picture; it all happens fairly quickly. The middle picture may look like just a big stretch of black nothingness but you can kind of make out the tiny bubbles on the screen, as if the Ocean character is letting you know that it's still there among all that darkness. I love that attention to detail.
When this happens, I highly recommend that you play the game in order to fill up the happiness hearts before attempting to clean the screen (4 flushes) because it's possible that the octopus will make another appearance and if you keep cleaning and then go back to play the game to fill up the happiness hearts and get caught by the octopus again and again, it might be an endless, frustrating cycle. Is there a method to the madness, a particular time when the octopus is more likely to suddenly pop out at you? There's a theory that it happens when you lose the game a certain amount of times when you've only got one happiness heart filled when you start playing the game. It may be more likely to happen when you're running empty on happiness hearts, but I personally think it's more random than that. I'm still trying to figure out what triggers the octopus to come more and I think I may have gotten the hang of it. More on that later.
I was more vigilant toward the evening about only letting one heart in each category empty, so that he was satisfied by the time he went to sleep at 7:00 pm. No empty hunger or happiness hearts. I'm glad I made it through the second day. It's making it through the third day that'll be the big hurdle. During my first summer break earlier this summer, my precious Oceangotch always seemed to pass on the third day. I'm hoping and praying that such a thing won't happen this time around. I had a very exceptional day with Neptune yesterday at least and I'm hoping that will make a difference. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I'm already feeling the itch to buy yet another Tamagotchi. I haven't yet bought one of the new Tamagotchi Nanos that came out this June. It's likely that it'll be one of those next. Debating on whether I should get the blue one with flowers or the yellow one with fruits on it. I really love the blue color of the blue with flowers but I like the design on the fruits one a little better. We'll see. Until then!

Tamagotchi iD L
This cannot be! I gave my teen at least 4 care misses but who do I get? Kuishinbotchi…again! This has got to be the third time I've gotten him, a perfect care adult, when I clearly made care misses. What am I missing here? I think I read somewhere that if you have a child who is the same gender as the one in your last generation, you have a high chance of ending up with an adult exactly like the one you had the previous generation. This explains why I've gotten Furawatchi so many times in the past but it doesn't explain why I got Kuishinbotchi this time around. I had Spacytchi last generation! It just boggles my mind. If anyone is reading and has some idea of what's going on, would you please enlighten me? I really, really hope that my iD L is not defective. That would just be very sad.
Well, it's not that I'm completely unhappy to see Kuishinbotchi. It's just that I've had him several times already when I deliberately made care misses to get other characters. I really don't understand it. Anyway, I was just a little put off because I was doing so well with getting unique characters (my last 2 were the first unique ones I've had for 14 generations…yes, FOURTEEN). Besides this recent development, we checked on our plant in the garden. We ended up growing a kendama, which we already have.
Nothing much happened for the rest of the day. I'm going to take him straight to the matchmaker when the right time comes.
I had to pause my Neptune this morning for a few hours because I was away for volunteering, as usual on Wednesdays. You guys probably already know that I'd rather not pause my Tamagotchis if I can avoid it but leaving this guy alone even for half an hour is absolutely out of the question. I was determined to make it through the third day, the day that seems to be the hardest every time I run my Ocean. After I came home and had some lunch, I unpaused Neptune. I checked on Neptune quite often, not letting him empty more than one heart in hunger or happiness. I think I mentioned above that I think I have a small trick, something I'm doing a little differently this time around, and it seems to be working well. The next important test is to see if what I'm doing differently will finally carry me into the teen stage. The polar bear showed up several times today, but I never let him lay a finger on my precious Neptune. Neptune got sick at 4:05 pm and I only had to give him one dose of medicine to make him feel better. Phew! About 40 minutes later, my Neptune evolved into a teen! This is the first time in the 4 years I've owned my Oceangotch that I've gotten a teen! Hooray! The discipline meter went back down to a bit under 50%.
I thought it was quite amusing how a little pile of poop follows Neptune around as he's floating there in the water, so I took a picture of it. My boyfriend and I are holding our little one in the picture.
My KeiTama arrived in the mail today. I was very pleased about the shipping time (took only 10 days to arrive) and the pristine condition of the Tamagotchi. I put a test battery in and everything works perfectly. I even got this cute trading card as a gift!
Overall, not a bad day. I'm a little worried about my iD L but I'm sure there's probably some sort of explanation for what's happened...I hope. As always, thanks for checking in!
Posted 04 September 2011 - 12:10 AM ( #170 )
Wow! I haven't logged in a little over a week. I apologize for being MIA but I just finished my first week of yet another semester of nursing school and things have been really hectic as I'm slowly coming out of summer mode and into work mode again. Thank you for your patience as I adjust to my new classes and clinical rotations. I'm just going to pick up where I left off on August 25th through the 26th.
August 25-26, 2011
Tamagotchi iD L
My iD L ran out of batteries on the 25th.
This made me a little impatient because I knew that when I changed the batteries, the iD L would reset back to the most recent big event and in my case, it was when my character evolved into an adult. So my guy will be heading to the matchmaker one day later than expected. Nothing much else went on with him on the 25th. The 26th was a day as any other for my iD L. Nothing too out of the ordinary.
So I did my very best to care for my precious Neptune on the 25th.
Slowly waking up from his slumber.
Happy and not so happy.
He didn't get inked that much at all today and I saved him from all the polar bears.
Neptune evolved into an adult on the 26th! I was incredibly ecstatic about this because this was my first time getting an adult on the Oceangotch. It wasn't easy, by any means. It made me feel really accomplished that I could achieve this before I started school.
The best-care adult, KeroPyontchi.
I'll slowly catch up with my logging in the coming days. Hope you enjoyed this entry and thanks for reading!

Tamagotchi iD L
I took my guy to the matchmaker today. He fell in love with Nachuratchi and they were married.
Proud papa came home with an egg and out hatched a baby boy, whom I named Arata (fresh). Arata evolved into Furutsupantchi after the hour of care.
The rest of my days are devoted to just keeping Neptune alive as an adult for as long as I can. Im already over the moon about getting an adult, so whatever happens from here on out happens. Doesnt he look so chubby while hes snoozing like that? It's cute. XD Saved him from that polar bear, of course!
Stay tuned for more updates!
Posted 09 September 2011 - 12:47 PM ( #172 )
Tamagotchi iD L
Arata evolved into Happabouyatchi today. Nothing much else going on with him for the 28th.
He evolved into Spacytchi on the 29th; I guess I had neglected him more than I thought I did.
As I was cleaning today and bustling around getting ready for school, I heard the beeping that told me that Neptune was about to leave me.
Ahh, its been a good and successful run. Im so glad that I was able to raise an adult on my Oceangotch before school started. I wish he could have stuck around just a little bit longer but I enjoyed my time with him while he was here.
So I paused all my Tamagotchis around this time, and I kept them paused for quite a while, until September 7th, when I resumed running them again. School started back up again for me on August 30th and so Ive been using that time to adjust to my new schedule. You all know how I dislike pausing my Tamagotchis but I felt so overwhelmed with work these past several days that I felt it was necessary. Ive missed logging quite a bit. Next time I come back (I won't be too long, promise!), Ill be resuming logging for September 7th. Until then and thanks so much for reading!

September 7-8, 2011
Tamagotchi iD L
Here's a picture of Arata as Spacytchi that I didn't post before I paused my Tamagotchis. He should be ready to go to the matchmaker in a couple of days.
Before I took out the batteries to my +C way back when, my gal had evolved into an Oldie.
She was more than ready to visit the matchmaker when I started her up again. When she got there, she married Ojitchi, the male Oldie, and they had a baby boy, whom I knew would evolve into the special male adult after the hour, Oyajitchi.
I named him Jun ("obedient"). Sure enough, he evolved into Oyajitchi at the end of the hour. He will be ready to visit the matchmaker in 2 days.
I'd really love to start up my iD as well, but I'd still like to reset it so that I can try for some more of the secret characters on my iD L. I think I'll start up my iD again for a long run after I've gotten all the secret characters on the iD L.
Nothing happened on the 8th and both my Tamagotchis won't be ready for the matchmaker until the 9th.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more adventures!

Tamagotchi iD L
My guy visited the matchmaker today.
He and Meloditchi were married and they had a baby boy, whom I named Atsushi ("industrious"). Atsushi evolved from Yurapatchi to Nannokitchi within the hour.
Jun also visited the matchmaker today. He married Marotchi and they had a baby girl, whom I named Ayame ("iris flower").
She evolved into Memepetchi after the standard hour of care.
Note for September 19, 2011:
Apologies once again for not logging in a while. It appears that I've had my Tamagotchis paused for another block of time, since September 10th (I don't have any pictures after the 9th). It's been a bit difficult to find spare time for logging around school, clinicals, commuting, and a lot of other things I've been busy with this term but I'm making it work as best as I can. I've missed running and logging my Tamagotchis a lot. When things settle down a bit more, I'll get back into it. My goal is to resume running my Tamagotchis on September 21st. Thanks for being patient with me!

Tamagotchi iD L
Long time no see, all! Quick recap: Atsushi evolved from Nannokitchi to Bokuhoshitchi, and then from Bokuhoshitchi to Gozarutchi. Looks like Moriritchi celebrated her birthday today.
We took him to the matchmaker and he fell in love with Chamametchi. They went on a date and got married.
They had a baby boy, whom I named Masaru (victorious).
Caught him potty-training.
He evolved into Kaubotchi after the hour. Not sure which adult Im aiming for this time; depends on the teen I get. Hoping to get an adult I havent had before. Id like to get unique characters again, its been a while!
Nothing much going on with Ayame, who had evolved into Makiko (no pictures today). Im thinking of keeping her around for a while.
More updates to come! Thanks for reading!

Tamagotchi iD L
Heres another picture of Masaru as Kaubotchi before he evolved into a teen today.
He evolved into Bokuhoshitchi.
Looks like Ill be going for Shutotchi, since I haven't had him out of that group before. He needs 4 or 5 care misses. Heres hoping I dont overshoot it like I usually do!
Im still keeping Ayame around for a while. She's still a Makiko. I promise Ill get a picture of her up soon!
Short update today. Till next time!

Tamagotchi iD L
I got the adult I wanted! He evolved into Shutotchi as I was driving home from class today. I will work on his happy items soon.
I dont why Im keeping Ayame the Makiko around and not taking her to the matchmaker. Probably because Ive been pretty busy as of late. I don't want to hatch a baby and end up neglecting it. I promise Ill put more interesting posts up soon enough. I'm often very busy with school, clinicals, and other things but I have no intention of stopping now. Please bear with me!
Thanks for sticking by me, all. Until we meet again!
Posted 30 September 2011 - 03:35 PM ( #178 )
Hey, everyone! I'm back for more logging, finally! Nothing happened on the 24th; I was just waiting for the matchmaker on my iD L and I was still keeping Makiko on my +C around. I wanted to get the happy items for Shutotchi on the 24th so that I wouldnt bombard you all with a ton of pictures today (because I will also be taking my iD L to the matchmaker), but I never got around to it. Here they are now!
Tamagotchi iD L
Took care of all of Masarus happy items today. He enjoyed fish and chips at the Restaurant, tried on this silly-looking afro, and then went for a car ride in said afro. XD As it is 48 hours after becoming an adult, he also earned his final happy sign today.
To be continued...
Posted 30 September 2011 - 03:47 PM ( #179 )
After all that, I took Masaru to the matchmaker, where he met and courted the lovely Giragiratchi. Yes, I asked him to leave his afro at home. XD
They got married and had a baby boy. I named him Hisao (long-lived man). He evolved from the adorable Yurapatchi to Kaubotchi again after the hour.
Caught another pee-pee wiggle dance.
Heres a picture of Ayame that Ive been meaning to post. Ill be taking her to the matchmaker in the near future.
Im expecting to become quite busy over the next few days (big surprise, right? ) but Ill do my best to log here and there. Thanks for reading!
Posted 23 October 2011 - 06:52 PM ( #180 )
Hey, everyone! Long time no log. XD I know I've kind of fallen off the face of Tamagotchi Planet for a little while but things have just been so hectic lately with school and clinical rotations and so I've had my babies on pause for the past few weeks. Lately, I've been getting some serious Tamagotchi itch though and so I've started them up again. I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I'm feeling quite content, nostalgic for Tamagotchis, and very much ready for the holiday season (I know, it's a bit early). I'm going to try and ease myself back into the Tamagotchi groove so when the Tamagotchi 15th Anniversary Hatch rolls around (see my signature; I will be participating ), I'll be fully ready to rock 'n' roll! I'll try and bring you up to speed on what's been going on. It's not much but I did crank out some low-key Tamagotchi days before I put them on pause.
So I'm taking a look at the pictures I have. My camera is a bit glitchy so it didn't record a time stamp for the pictures; I might be doing a little guesswork here. It seems that I somehow neglected my iD L and +C to the point where they both ran away from me. =/
I remember now: I was out for the day and I had the sound turned off for both, silly me. Quite unfortunate but I decided to start up my iD L again first. I was iffy on whether I wanted to start up my +C again, as I was starting to become much more busy than usual. I held off on starting my +C. I can't ever stay away from it for that long though, as it was my very first Color Tamagotchi.
So I hatched my iD L and out of the egg came a boy! Here he is as Yurapatchi. I named him Eiji ("eternity").
He evolved into Nannokitchi after the hour.
The next day, he evolved into Bokuhoshitchi. I didn't get a picture of him as a teen but I will post one in the coming days as I catch up.
Another exciting thing happened in the past few weeks. I got in touch with a fellow TamaTalk member, graficks, and he was able to hook me up with the Shimashimatchi and Makiko figurines for a bargain! I now have all of the wave 2 TMGO figurines thanks to him.
That's all for now. I'll try not to let there be a huge gap between posts the next time. Until then!
EDIT: Forgot to post the picture of the figurines.

The Barabel evolved from a vicious reptilian species and maintain their hunting culture. On average, they stand 2 meters tall and weigh around 130 kilograms. Jagged, overlapping, black keratin scales cover their bodies protecting them from bites, blaster bolts, and radiation, and the Barabel are said to be able to shed their tails when necessary. Due to the planetary harsh radiation, they are forced to hunt at night and their eyesight has adapted, allowing them to see perfectly in utter darkness.
They also have a layer of fat that retains heat, so they fight well in both sun-baked heat and freezing cold temperatures. Barabel are famously mean-spirited. This normally manifests itself in direct physical confrontation, but Barabel have no qualms with property destruction, traps, indirect fire, or even crueler tactics.
Outsiders often confuse Barabel viciousness with stupidity, though that is a foolish mistake, and often their last.
