When I receive newsletter I get a message saying that an error has occurred with the script on this page
If you are using Outlook Express for your email client the first thing to do is to visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and get any critical updates, service packs, and recommended updates. The next thing to do is make sure you have the most up to date Windows Script. You can download it at Windows Script. There will be two English downloads at the top, make sure you download and install the correct one for your operating system.
When I click in the Introduction link, it tries to load for a really long time and only about 1/3 of the page actually loads
The introduction link will take you to an interactive page that uses Macromedia Flash 6. You need to have it installed if you want to see the large image. To get the Flash player, go to Macromedia Flash.
The video doesn't look very good:

- If you experience any further problems, please contact Customer Service here
I'm running Netscape and your site loads very slow
Older versions of Netscape do not handle a lot of the newer web technologies very well. Netscape 4.x versions have issues with style sheets for one thing. The site will not run on Netscape version 4.51. Other versions of Netscape in the 4.x series should run the site, but it will most likely be very slow. You can fix this by upgrading your Netscape browser to something more current, Netscape 6 or 7.
Please verify your username and password. If these items are correct, check your billing information to verify it is updated and accurate.

Log into the site using your current account id and password. Click on "Preferences" on the left menu (near the top). This will bring up your account information. Look at the menu on the left again, where you clicked "Preferences". You will notice that it has expanded and you now have two more options under "Preferences," one of which will be "Change Password."
To get your password, enter your account id as you normally would when logging in. For the password field, enter a bogus password. The site will then ask if you have forgotten your password and ask if you would like to have it emailed to you.
I accidentally typed my email address wrong when registering
As of right now there is no way to change your account id which is only used for logging in. So you will need to use the email address that you signed up with. Since your email address wasn't correct, you never received the email with the password. To get your password, enter your account id as you normally would when logging in. For the password field, enter a bogus password. The site will then ask if you have forgotten your password and ask if you would like to have it emailed to you.
Your account may have been deactivated due to too many failed login attempts or a credit card problem. Open a ticket stating that you cannot log in and we'll track down the reason.
When I select an event from the media player it prompts me to login again but never accepts the login. Is my account still active?

You may have to consult your vendor for support on receiving multicast data. As an alternitive you can connect the Cable modem to a single PC to bybass external firewall configurations.
The video and audio are out of sync
This might be a sound card or driver issue. Check for sound card driver updates from your vendor and from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Download the latest DirectX from Windows Update as well.
When media player opens it just shows a little white square with a red "X"
This means that media player can't properly load the media. It could be that media player has lost it's associations to another program such as Quicktime, WinAmp or Real Player. To restore the associations:
For Windows Media Player 8
Open up Windows Media Player from the Start Menu
On the menu, go to Tools -> Options
Click on the "File Types" tab

I have an Apple computer. Are your services compatible with OS X? Our service has been tested with the latest versions of Safari and Firefox for OS X. You will need to install Windows Media Player 9 for OS X. Please see the link below for download.
Windows Media Player 9 for OS X is located at the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx
When I select a live/On-Demand broadcast the media player say transitioning and never plays. Are there technical difficulties with the broadcast?
This issue is with your Windows Media Player settings. Close any open web browsers and open Windows Media Player. In Windows Media Player, choose Tools from the top menu. If you can not see the top menu, press the Alt key on your keyboard. This will highlight the word File and will show the other categories. Once you click on Tools, click on Options. From here, click on the network tab. You will then see four options that are checked off. When you are on this screen, please uncheck UDP. After that, click Apply and then click OK.
I can view broadcasts when they are On-Demand but I cannot view live broadcasts. Do I need additional software/plug-in for live broadcast?
This is normally associated with a router/firewall. Please check our FAQ about routers/firewalls.
I have a router/firewall. Will that cause problems with broadcasts?
If you have a router/firewall then this would also need to be configured to allow multicasting. Another option would be to disable the firewall for the event and then enabled once the event is over. For assistance with configuration please consult the manufacturer of your router/firewall.
I cannot view any broadcast. The media player never loads the control options such as play/pause, stop, and volume control.
Do you have any kind of security software installed on your computer such as McAfee, Norton, or Zone Alarm? If so please try to disable the software. If you are not sure if you have any of that software then you can check by clicking on Start and going to the control panel. Look for add/remove programs.

We were the second time in the same app. Unfortunately went crazy this week the weather, so we. More than intended in the small app spent, which we have already described earlier. (: .... ... Rather simple and partially outdated see earlier description), as we were informed, executed shortly remedial measures in the home.
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal im selben App. Leider hat in dieser Woche das Wetter verrückt gespielt, so dass wir mehr als gewollt im kleinen App. verbrachten, das wir bereits früher schon beschrieben haben. Sanierungsmaßnahmen im Haus (siehe früher Beschreibung: ...eher einfach und teilweise veraltert ....) werden, wie uns mitgeteilt wurden, in Kürze ausgeführt.
We had 4 beautiful, pleasant days in Seefeld, where we have come to expect to be in this place in a friendly atmosphere.
The location of the apartments between Rosshütte and the center was good. The property can be described as rather simple and partially outdated, but has contributed to the warmth of caretaker and their direct contact possibilities much to our well-being, for which we would like to thank on this way.
We love to go back there.
Wir hatten 4 schöne, angenehme Tage in Seefeld, wo wir bereits gewohnt sind in diesem Ort in netter Atmosphäre zu sein.
Die Lage des Apartments zwischen Rosshütte und Ortszentrum war gut. Die Unterkunft ist als eher einfach und teilweise veraltert zu bezeichnen, Jedoch hat die Herzlichkeit der Hausmeisterin und deren direkte Kontaktmöglichkeit viel zu unserem Wohlbefinden beigetragen, wofür wir uns auch auf diesem Wege bedanken möchten.
Wir gehen gerne wieder dorthin.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Mike Miller
Professor Miller on his passion for art
Meet Mike Miller
Associate Professor and Chair,
Visual Arts and Director, UIS Visual Arts Gallery
- B.F.A. Texas Christian University in Painting
- M.F.A. University of Michigan in Painting
- I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. Fort Worth is a place that has earned its name as "cowtown" with plenty of great barbecue, cowboys, and larger than life characters like Amon Carter. But it is also an amazing cultural arts center. It is home to the Kimball Museum, The Modern Art Museum, and has a great tradition of producing innovative artists. This environment had a tremendous impact on me as a young man. I was able to see world-class works of art first hand, but I also learned a special kind of individualism and self-sufficiency from my fellow Texans.
Interesting Facts:
- I like to view nature from unusual vantage points. When I was younger, I was an avid rock climber. There is nothing quite like the view of the Eldorado Canyon in Colorado from 1000 feet. More recently, I have been scuba diving in Mexico, Belize, and Hawaii. These experiences have given me appreciation for the beauty of remote places and the need for human beings to respect an environment that we do not yet fully understand.
Learning philosophy:
- I treat my studio classroom like a laboratory. Students come up with a concept for new work, and then we brainstorm, conduct material tests, build prototypes, and assess failures and successes. Then we go back to the drawing board and start again. Working in my classroom is a collaborative, demanding, and hopefully rewarding experience of self-discovery.
Research interests:
- I am fascinated with the relationship between art and technology. As an artist, I am interested in what people want from new technologies. Why is the iPhone so desirable? Why is Facebook the winning social media site? These products are useful, but they are also visually and psychologically appealing. My work is an attempt to understand and critique this phenomenon.
Major project underway:
- I am currently collaborating with a colleague from The University of Oregon on a digitally modeled public sculpture project. We are using rapid-prototyping machines to produce a three-dimensional digital vine that can be "grown" to fit any public sculpture site.
Listen to Professor Miller talk about his passion for art:
Advice to prospective students:
- I would ask students to take a step back and realize the tremendous opportunity and privilege they are experiencing as they attend the university. Make it count! Seek out those individuals that are doing work that you admire, whether they are faculty, graduate students, peers, or professionals. This is the time to define yourself, take this task seriously!
Best thing about UIS:
- I will echo what others have said; we have a small student to faculty ratio. While this is very important, equally important is the fact that the faculty at UIS are engaged in truly amazing research. Our students have the rare opportunity in higher education of working closely with first-rate scholars.

"I made up this recipe a couple years ago after trying a similar dish in a restaurant," recalls Dolores Zornow from Poynette, Wisconsin. "Our oldest son tells me these burritos are 'awesome'! Plus, they're easy and inexpensive.
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 6 fat-free flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
- 3/4 cup picante sauce, divided
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
- In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender. Add spinach and pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
- Place about 3 tablespoonfuls off center on each tortilla; top with 1 tablespoon of picante sauce and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.
- Place seam side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining picante sauce and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.

"I used green enchilada sauce rather than the picante sauce for a milder taste. Delicious!!!"
Reviewed May. 4, 2012
"These were good and surprisingly filling. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen. To half of the burritos I added refried beans and left out the cheese. The other half I made exactly as the recipe says. They were good both ways. Next time I would just use salsa instead of picante sauce. They are very similar and salsa is less expensive for me to buy."

"I adore this recipe! Very delicious. I twist it up a bit and grill them instead."

Candles make great decorative items. Scented candles, in particular, help create a mood during parties and special occasions. What will set these candles apart is the container you put them in.

You can't make your department do more with less if you don't know how it's working to begin with.
That's the situation in which public works and utilities director Greg Meszaros found himself in 2000, when newly elected mayor Graham Richard challenged managers to make Fort Wayne, Ind., the first city in the country to implement "Six Sigma." The quality-improvement program includes six steps designed to analyze and fine-tune processes to eliminate defects in products and services.
A 20-year department veteran, Meszaros knew the same principles that saved manufacturing giants like Motorola and General Electric millions of dollars could be used to remove more water from sludge. Speed up pothole repairs. Eliminate excess inventory. Get better service from contractors.
He was right. Seven years later, the department has saved taxpayers $10 million. Having proven they can avoid or eliminate expenses, managers earned the credibility they need to ask for—and receive—approval for initiatives that are improving the entire city's infrastructure system, including:
• A 66% stormwater utility rate increase to fund a $17 million flood-prevention program
• Aproposed $21 million bond to buy out the operations of a private drinking water and sewage treatment provider, which would leave just 15% of residents to be served by private utilities.
The department identified and tackled more than 30 processes—far more than any other city department—that were unnecessary, redundant, or inefficient.
Anyone who's ever been involved in a quality management or benchmarking program knows the process lives or dies on the ability to gather and analyze data, and to foster open, honest communication among all parties.
The department addressed the first challenge by hiring a part-time quality consultant, sending managers to Six Sigma training, and installing Quality Companion 2 software by Minitab Inc., State College, Pa., on project team leaders' computers. The Windows-based software presents statistical analyses in very readable form. This was particularly helpful in projects involving complex mechanical systems, like analyzing how each of the 40-year-old wastewater treatment plant's eight operators ran its centrifuges.
"We finally convinced operators we could see what they were doing, and that what they were doing made a difference," says Cheryl Cronin in Richard's book (see "Web extra" at upper right), which chronicles the department's journey. As water pollution control plant superintendent, she led a seven-employee team that focused on increasing waste-activated sludge processing.
In one year, operators stabilized sludge thickness and were removing 55% more volatile solids. Now the city is selling Class A sludge rather than paying to have it carted away and incinerated.

First impressions from Dolphins rookie camp
What did we learn from last weekend's Miami Dolphins rookie camp?
Can we really learn anything meaningful from watching these newcomers run around in shorts and a helmet, trying not to embarrass themselves like receiver Marlon Moore did on Sunday, dropping just about every punt that came his way, prompting receivers coach Karl Dorrell to say: "You obviously don't want to make this team."
Low moments like Moore's struggles were rare, but so were the times a newcomer flashed at the coaches. That's why it's nearly impossible to walk away from last weekend with any hard and firm conclusions, especially from me considering I only attended one of the four practice session due my medical issues.
But some of us did take a couple of things from the Miami Dolphins rookie camp….
Both of the quarterbacks might have trouble finding work in the Arena Football League, so it was really a challenge to judge anything from the passing game. However, coach Tony Sparano consistently mentioned Julius Priutt and Ryan Grice-Mullen when talking about the passing game.
Grice-Mullen certainly looks and moves like former Hawaii teammate Davone Bess. If he plays like him, and provides some sizzle as a returner, this CFL import might be able to unseat Patrick Turner for the final spot on the 53-man roster. I personally need to know if RGM can get behind cornerbacks consistently. Couldn't tell that yet, especially with the caliber of cornerbacks they were working against.
Speaking of returners and cornerbacks, I didn't get a chance to see cornerback A.J. Wallace field punts because he shut it down at the end of Sunday's practice for unknown reasons, but his footwork during cornerback drills was impressive. It's the one thing that really surprised me. The guy has got super quick feet.
Considering Wallace is a former US Army All-American Bowl participant, maybe his ability hasn't been fully tapped into. Bill Parcells spent about five minutes talking to him 1-on-1, which is a good sign. Maybe he's practice squad worthy?….
Speaking of untapped ability, I watched safety Reshad Jones (who I predicted would be the sleeper of this draft) A LOT on Sunday, and I can't honestly say I walked away with much insight.
First, the Dolphins were using him in a single safety backfield, which had him roaming as the center fielder covering the whole field. Second, as I mentioned earlier, the QB play was lacking. And third, I didn't see much hustle from Jones.
I know what those drills are suppose to look like (because I watch the defensive backs a lot), and in my humble opinion, it didn't appear that Jones had much fire in his belly on Sunday. He sporadically ran to defenders with hustle, rarely ever touched them to conclude drills (you always touch them to simulate a tackle), and it looked like he was in third gear all day, including during special teams work, which will determine if he does or doesn't make the 53-man roster.
I'm absolutely positive I'm making too much out of one practice session (maybe Jones was hurt, or tired, or the wheels in his head were churning too much) but a fifth-round pick needs to be in fifth gear ALL THE TIME.
I'm positive Dolphins fans are hopes Jones provides more highlight plays than low effort practices, especially if he wants to be in the starter mix at free safety. While I'm sure this section of the blog will get me stoned to death by the backseat critics, I pride myself in being honest and candid, and would be deceiving you if I didn't mention the one thing that stood out to me about the player I watched the most.
As much as the Dolphins would like to think they got a steal, there's a reason Jones dropped two rounds lower than he was projected to be drafted. We just don't know what it is YET? I was told Jones has a tattoo of a dollar sign on his ear. Let's hope that's not his biggest motivation.
After watching guys like Nate Ness fight and claw to hold onto their NFL dream the past three years I've learned that drive, hunger and determination takes you a long ways in the NFL, and in this world.
The rookies departed on Sunday and most are headed back to their hometown and/or college town to get their schooling finished, and life together. They'll return to Davie on May 16th to begin weight lifting and OTA sessions with the veterans, which is when the REAL fun begins.
Every draft pick, except for offensive guard John Jerry, appears to be real lean, and fit. Some of them (Koa Misi and A.J. Edds) need to add more bulk. I must admit I have concerns about Misi setting the edge as a starting strong side linebacker. It didn't ease my concerns when Jared Odrick mocked his muscles during a photo session the two were doing after practice.
But in fairness, it's IMPOSSIBLE to come to any conclusions about the hybrid linebackers without seeing them do contact work. Maybe Misi's a mauler when the pads get on? I'm positive we'll learn more when he's lined up against Vernon Carey during minicamp.
Edds doesn't really need that much more bulk considering he'll be making the transition to inside linebacker, and called on to be a coverage specialist.
I sense the trainers will have to redefine Jerry's body and take his conditioning up a notch before he enters the starter mix. Jerry, who worked at right guard on Sunday, needs to get lean.
Donald Thomas was ready to play immediately as a rookie because he quickly established himself as one of the weight room warriors as a rookie. Shawn Murphy, a former fourth-round pick who got cut midway through his second season, spent an entire year re-sculpting his body. And he wasn't even as big as Jerry. It'll be interesting to see where Jerry fits in.
It's going to be interesting to see how, and where all the rookies fit in.
Can their play match the vision that the Trifecta has for them?

For hipsters and fans of eclectic music, including some intriguing singer-songwriters, the Twilight Concert Series at Pioneer Park has a lot to offer. If you like jam bands, metal or Top 40... well, nevermind.
The free concert series runs from July 14 until Aug. 25 and remains on Thursdays and appears that it will be staying entrenched at Pioneer Park.
July 14: Talk about your out-there launches, Explosions in the Sky, headlines the opening night. These guys feature some crazy instrumentals and have toured their way into their current level of success.
July 21: Indie-rock favorites The Decemberists headline the show that may draw the biggest crowds of the whole summer. These guys are likely the coolest band ever led by an English lit major from the University of Montana.
July 28: Another indie-rock darling, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes headline this gig. These guys have really risen in popularity, having played SLC's Urban Lounge back in 2009. The opener remains to be determined.
Aug. 4: Thurston Moore/Kurt Vile. This may be the coolest booking in the whole batch. Longtime Sonic Youth frontman Moore is touring behind his solo record "Demolished Thoughts." Vile is a buzz-tastic singer-songwriter touring behind the super-melodic "Smoke Ring for My Halo."
Aug. 11: Bright Eyes: The series' closest thing to a big star arrives at Pioneer Park in the personage of Conor Oberst. Bright Eyes is touring behind the excellent "People's Key." Depending on who the unannounced opener turns out to be, this may also draw the biggest crowd of the year.
Aug. 18: Ghostland Observatory: Get read to dance... These funky, catchy songwriters from Austin, Texas, will create a huge outdoor gyration festival. Interesting, this is booked opposite the B.B. King show down at Gallivan Center. Talk about a no-lose decision. This should be a blast...
Aug. 25: Lupe Fiasco: Twenty-nine year-old rapper and clothing entrepreneur brings the only complete night of hip-hop to the venue in the season finale. This, too, looks to be mega-crowded.

Just as
not all fan girls are created equal, not all anime blogs are recognizable for following the one episode plus screencaps entry formula. At least, mine isn't. Probably because except in very rare cases, I don't do individual episode summaries, especially of the new anime out; I leave that to the more qualified people who understand Nihongo better than all of us who have to rely on (the kindness of) subs.
now called sunny side up
This blog used to be titled imagination's travels but for reasons I set out here, I renamed it. Of the ten choices I shortlisted, people voted for sunny side up.
Beyond a way of cooking eggs, sunny side up is also the opening theme to the 愛してるぜベイベ★★ Aishiteruze Baby anime. Lyrics were composed by Hitoto Yo who also performs the song. What's this got to do with me? While I'm not that big a fan of tamago, nor am I quite that obsessive over AishiBaby (I thank it for the animanga connection is all ahm sayin'), sunny side up sums up my self-confessed preference for viewing life. So I'm happy that this option won the blog renaming poll.
k, enough with the overshare. Now back to what this blog contains.
What I do here for the most part are reviews (often mini, sometimes consolidated) of anime and dorama (subbed, as stated earlier), manga and manhwa (translated EN | ID), seiyuu performances in the anime I'm watching, music, and other stuff connected with animanga. I call them "reviews," but they're not, really. Because of personal bias, they tend to discuss the characters more than plot and have this not-so strangely predictable tendency to meander into shipment/OTP discussion territory (I like couples—they usually lock in my emotional investment in a title.)
and here's a not-so random shipment I dote on ^^ (If you correctly guess who they are and leave me a comment, I'll send you a virtual Pocky.)
And fangirl that I am, you'll find quite a lot of babble with the fanlistings I've joined; I'm not content with simply putting up codes to show my wub.
I also do regular lists. Lots of 'em, including backlists for manga-ka I adore. I shuttle between this and (hey, at least I'm passing) Listology and my other blog to pander to my animanga litany predilection. As exemplified below:
personal firsts—
- anime Voltes V
- manga Candy Candy
- seiyuu Koyasu Takehito
- shipment Hanazawa Rui x Makino Tsukushi (Hana Yori Dango)
- dorama Meteor Garden II
- J-dorama Gokusen
- YAOI Only the Ring Finger Knows (Sono yubi dake ga shitteiru)
- BL drama Okane ga Nai
- manhwa Neck and Neck
- K-dorama Goong AKA Princess Hours
I also report air dates and releases, especially for the Southeast Asian part of the world, that interest me. Because my anime fix mainly comes from Animax and the company holding the license for manhwa and manga in Indonesia is Gramedia, these companies tend to crop up quite a bit in my blog entries. But like all things that have to do with time, schedules I set down are subject to change without prior notice (I've been tripped up quite a lot by this bit of life certainty).
I also ramble. A bit much, actually. But then, like Maria in Roswell, I think
I've earned the right to babble, so deal. But don't worry—unless I'm feeling totally random, the musings and gushings tend to stay within the animanga topic.
Whatever I'm writing about, one thing remains certain: nothing is writ in stone. Whatever I've written will prolly get edited/revised at some point (or points) in time, sometimes to correct snafus and at other times, for no other reason than "I like to tweak."
And for all that some unrelated personal stuff and rants creep in sometimes, this is first and foremost, my anime blog. So welcome.
Here are some of my favorite blog posts:
- You're my gravity: The Relationshippers' Guide to Alice Academy
- Black Blood Brothers after the 11th and 12th episodes: Thoughts (and summaries in my fashion)
- Q.E.D. ~Shomei Shuryo~ Manga Quite Eloquently Done

- "Mikan." (Gushing over seiyuu Paku Romi)

MIAMI DOLPHINS: What's a west coast offense these days?
When asked about the style of offense the Miami Dolphins would use moving forward new coach Joe Philbin joked he doesn't even know what the west coast offense is during his introductory press conference.
Or maybe Philbin wasn't joking because when I asked Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, who has supposedly used the west coast offense and concepts since his Denver days, to explain the west coast concepts he had the same response.
"I have no idea what the west coast offense means anymore," Shanahan said with a light chuckle. "I use to know 20 years ago when Bill Walsh used the term."
Shanahan is referring to the former 49ers and Stanford coaching legend, who is viewed as the father of the West Coast offense, which you can read about here.
Philbin has utilized many of those concepts successfully for the past five seasons as Green Bay's offensive coordinator. However, he's non-committal about the type of attacking approach he'll bring to Miami.
A lot may depend on the offensive coordinator Philbin hires, and at this point it appears former Packers and Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman's the front runner after not getting the Tampa Bay job.
The Dolphins will begin their discussions, if not negotiations with Sherman this evening.
Sherman, who I'm told is a very good coach, has utilized the west coast concepts at every one of his coaching stops, so connect the dots…..
"Back then it was one formation, three and five step drops. That was pretty standard on what they did," Shanahan said of Walsh's version of the west coast. "Everyone that's taken off from that organization has went in a different direction. That's why I'm not sure what the definition is anymore."
Shanahan did explain that the west coast offense is a three-to-five step passing game that is geared towards attacking the perimeter through the air.
But it's not necessarily a pass happy approach to putting up yards?
"You still need to have a good enough running game to keep people off balanced," said Shanahan, who admitted during his successful run with the Broncos he tried to change the name of the offensive style to "western slop offense."
"We tried to change the name just to get away from the west coast because we were in Denver, but everyone kept coming back to west coast," Shanahan said. "It's hard to change."
He's clearly referring to the name, but not the scheme's approach because that's morphed to the point a "west coast offense" is hard to identify in today's NFL.
I'll be spending the summer learning about the west coast offense so you'll be doing the same.

It is apparent harvest is in full swing when traveling the roads to and from Stuttgart. Farmers are bringing in their loads of rice from the fields to mills. On Wednesday, they were met with resistance.
State Rep. Tiffany Rogers said her phone was abuzz Wednesday afternoon. She received multiple calls on the Arkansas Highway Police targeting farmers in Stuttgart.
"Been hearing from a lot of my farmer friends concerning delivery of their crops from the field to the driers. Just wanted you all to know I've been working on your behalf to address the issues. As long as you are obeying all traffic laws — speed limits, using turn signals, etc. and if your grain is not spilling onto the highways you should not be targeted for other violations," Rogers announced online Thursday.
Rogers said no individual group is supposed to be targeted and officers are not supposed to be staking out.
"Agriculture is the backbone of the Grand Prairie," Rogers went on to say. "I just wanted to give them some relief. Obviously farmers need to obey the laws, but after I received a good number of phone calls, I wanted to put something out addressing it."
Rogers said most of the calls she received said the officers were giving citations for weight.
The Daily Leader contacted the Arkansas Highway Police Thursday, but was turned down for an interview. The Daily Leader then turned to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department Public Relations spokesperson Randy Ort.
Ort said five trucks were weighed Wednesday in a three-hour period.
"We had two highway officers and one supervisor in the area," Ort said.
Ort said 80,000 pounds is the legal limit, but farmers are given a 5,000 pound exemption. He said Wednesday that three citations were given for trucks weighing 116,000 pounds, 97,000 pounds and 88,000 pounds.
"These vehicle have to travel the same roads as you, me and children," Ort said. "Our number one priority is safety. We are not targeting."
According to Ort in 2011 the Arkansas Highway Police had 41,000 motor carrier safety inspections and of those 1,100 were farm vehicles. So far in 2012 the department has made 24,000 inspections with 634 being farm vehicles.
"The laws are on the books for a reason, and we understand the farmers that is why they have some exemptions, but our first concern is safety," Ort said.
"Hopefully it won't continue," Rogers said.

text: "Thank God for the power chord. That thunder from down under that grabs you in the lower-40 and gives you the second most satisfying surge that can run through your body. There is no greater purveyor of that power chord than AC/DC. The sparks that flew off the heavy metal of Back in Black, and the primal stink behind "You Shook Me All Night Long" lit a fire in the belly of every kid that grew up born to break the rules. And they're still out there touring; the fire rages on. According to this shirt that's from way back when, AC/DC opened for us in 1979. I was talking to the guys about how they keep it going on these years, and Angus told me that... Actually, hold on, I wrote it down. You gotta hear this. Angus told me, "Look, we hope to rage on, and over the years we put a lot of hard yacker with our no-worries-mate and fuck-all attitude and hair like a bush pig's ass. It's no wonder we had to give a gobful to a few bloody wingers." It's like, wow, you know, I used to think I didn't understand them 'cause I was fucked up, but it's not just me, right? The journey from the pubs of Australia to the stadiums of the world, AC/DC became the Litmus test of what rock does. You know, does it make you clench your fist when you sing along? Does it scare your parents to hell and piss off the neighbors? Does it make you dance so close to the fire that you burn your feet, and still don't give a rat's ass? Does it make you want to stand up and scream for something that you're not even sure of yet? Does it make you want to boil your sneakers and make soup out of your girlfriend's panties? If it doesn't, then it ain't AC/DC. These guys have dedicated themselves to the majesty of the power chord, ignoring the spoon-fed, "don't bore us, get to the chorus" fickle taste of pop music. Let's see, 1975, TNT. 1976, High Voltage and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. 1977, Let There Be Rock. 1978, Powerage and If You Want Blood, You Got It. 1979, the 6 million-seller sensory assault, Highway to Hell. But just as they reached to be their creative pinnacle, they experienced the worst kind of tragedy imaginable: the death of the great singer Bon Scott. But rather than collapse, they rose like a sweat-soaked phoenix from the ashes, with their nerves of steel, hand in a velvet glove, sledgehammer to the back of the head vocals of Brian Johnson. Then came Back in Black, which sold a crushing 19 million. That's 13 million more than the previous release, with more than a little help from brilliant Mutt Lang, who continues to blow minds and speakers all over the world. AC/DC is the ultimate middle finger aimed at the establishment. Think about it. The monster meet-me-in-the-backseat backbeat, the shredding vocals, that 100,000 megaton guitar assault, and let's not forget about that schoolboy uniform, which begs the question, "How do such big balls get in such small pants?" So when you think of this planet and how it may be on the highway to hell in a handbasket, think about how some distant future civilization will stumble upon what's left. They may marvel at the paintings of Rembrandt, they may gawk with wide-eyed wonder at Michaelangelo's "David," they may drink deeply of the panty soup, but when they throw on Back in Black, they will still clench their fists, they will still piss off their neighbors, and dance too close to the fire - then they will have wild, animal sex under the light of the moon, bathed in the tribal energies of a thousand power chords. Here's to the Holy Grail of it all; here's to the highway to hell. May we have as much fun there as we had getting there. Ladies and genitals, it is my honor on behalf of Aerosmith and every kid who has ever rocked his ass off to induct AC/DC, this night and forever, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "

Agency seeks foster parents in Davidson County
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 2:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 2:38 p.m.
Grandfather Home for Children in Banner Elk is seeking foster parents in Davidson County and the surrounding area.
The agency has been helping traumatized children since 1914. Grandfather Home for Children is a ministry that reaches more than 600 children and youths annually across the state.
A goal of fostering is to reach children and families in need by providing a safe, nurturing and consistent environments. Grandfather Home for Children provides professional, 24/7 case manager support for foster parents and the child placed in their home. Grandfather Home for Children provides one-on-one training sessions and is flexible with days and times to train. Foster parents must be at least 21 years old, have reliable transportation, stable income and no criminal record.
Grandfather Home for Children's campus in Banner Elk hosts residential care programs and serves as the hub for an array of services that stretch from the far western counties in North Carolina to the counties east of Raleigh.
The Christian staff strives to mend families whenever possible and involves parents in treatment initiatives. If a child cannot be reunited with the family of birth, a trained foster family and a future adoptive placement becomes the goal.
Anyone interested in receiving more information about becoming a foster parent can call Katie Brittain at (336) 793-7960 or visit the website at www.grandfatherhome.org.
