The Dragons have a better color crew than the Reds do.
Old left-hander joins Dragons' television team
By Marc Katz
Dayton Daily News
Guess who's rounding third and heading for home plate at Fifth Third Field?
Long-time radio broadcaster and former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Joe Nuxhall finds golf isn't all he needs at age 77 even though he had a fine time on the links Thursday near his Fairfield home. Nuxhall has agreed to do about eight games with Dayton Dragons broadcaster Mike Vander Wood on Time Warner Cable (Channel 25) this summer.
The Dragons season opens Thursday with a televised game, although Nuxhall probably won't do that one. He's also scheduled to do about 20 games with Marty Brennaman on the Reds radio network.
"It's baseball," Nuxhall said of broadcasting Class A games. "You've got to do something. I've been involved in baseball a long time, and it's hard to stay away from it, as I found out last year."
Two years ago, the Reds moved to ease Nuxhall out of the broadcast booth, bringing in Steve Stewart to pair with Brennaman. Nuxhall did about half the games, then last season was reduced to eight.
It wasn't enough for Nuxie. He loves baseball. He loves the Reds. Now he'll be able to see a few future Reds. A couple years ago, on an off day for the Reds, Nuxhall visited Fifth Third Field, sat in the stands and ate popcorn while he watched.
"I've been to Dayton on many occasions," Nuxhall said. "I always appreciated their support of sports, period, not only baseball, but UD. And, of course, I played there (not with a Dayton team) in the old Central League and Ohio State League.
"It's going to be a lot of fun, and I'll be able to see what kind of players the Reds have."
When Nuxhall isn't available, former Reds pitchers Tom Browning and Ted Power, as well as former Cincinnati outfielder Ken Griffey Sr., will work the games.
Vander Wood brainstormed over the winter with team president Bob Murphy to determine who would work the games with Vander Wood. On televised nights, Vander Wood moves from the WING-AM (1410) radio booth to the TV side. When that happens, Chad Duff also a former Dragons broadcaster will do radio games with Owen Serey, a recent UD grad (as is Duff).
"I was a little surprised everyone I asked was willing to do it," Vander Wood said. "They know we have a lot of fans. With these names, we should get increased viewers for television."

A biotech research facility has opened its Florida headquarters.
The La Jolla, Calif.-based Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies opened the doors Saturday to its chemistry and biology laboratories in Port St. Lucie. Scientists there will study a variety of medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and AIDS.
Officials say the facility is expected to employ nearly 200 people by 2016.
The Torrey Pines Institute is the first research facility to open in a biotech hub developing among the citrus groves of St. Lucie County. Two other research institutes are scheduled to build facilities in the same 150-acre park.
Two more research facilities are planned in Jupiter, about 30 miles south.

Lynda Tinsley, director of student financial services since 1986 and a member of West Texas A&M University's financial-aid staff for more than 30 years, announced her retirement, effective Feb. 29.
"There's never a good time for something like this, but there are some personal things I've been neglecting that need my attention," said Tinsley, a 1999 recipient of a Staff Council Staff Excellence Award.
"This was a hard decision," she said. "My entire working life has been spent in the financial aid office."
A 1968 graduate of Hart High School, Tinsley started working in WT's financial aid office as a college freshman.
She earned her bachelor's degree in education in 1972 and accepted a loan clerk position later that year.
"I only planned to stay until my husband graduated," Tinsley said. "But he graduated, and I stayed. One thing led to another, and here I am 32 years later."
Another longtime employee, Jeanette Head, will serve as interim director until a permanent successor is named, said Don Albrecht, vice president for student services.
In lieu of the traditional retirement receptions and gifts, Tinsley requested donations be made to existing scholarship funds.
Tinsley and her husband, Michael, will continue to live in Canyon.

Talk:Drake (Orange League)
Do we know for sure that Dan Green did indeed play Drake? He's not listed among the voice actors in the credits for the episodes. --PAK Man 00:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Why does it need to be mentioned that Drake is no relation to the Drake from the Hoenn League? Its not like we know if they have the same surname, and having the same forename doesn't even hint at any kind of relation. Weird thing to say.

While it's not the most unique storyline I've ever seen, so much just feels fresh and different, especially for a shonen title. With no tournaments to be seen, the darker edge that the series has, and its perfect mix of humor, drama, and action, D. Grayman is a breath of fresh air into the genre. I adore the setting, me being in love with the selected time period, and the vibe one gets from the series is really enjoyable, especially early on. The Rewinding City chapters had to be some of the best chapters in manga ever.
The artwork stunned me from the beginning. It's some of the most detailed manga artwork I've seen. I love the character designs, clothing, buildings...everything. The Rewinding City really did look like a small German town, and the Black Order's HQ is a treat to look at. Some characters have designs that aren't only gorgeous, but also unique as well. An example of that is Miranda Lotto. She doesn't look like your typical anime girl in any way, especially her eyes and hair, but is still lovely.
I have yet to find a character that I truly dislike in this series, save some of the villains. They are all interesting to learn about and see interacting with each other, including minor characters like Komui, Miranda, and Reever. I'll admit that Lenalee can get irksome at times, but the others more than make up for that.
All I can really say here is that this has to be my favorite of any manga I've ever read.
I've given it an overall 10, and you should all go out and buy volume 1. read more
Story: There are stories where we can skim over a few chapters and still understand what's going on; there are stories where we can skim over a few volumes and still get what is happening. D.Gray-Man doesn't fall into either category. If you miss even two- three pannels at first, if that subject rises up a again, you will be lost. Everything is thickly intervoven; you won't find mentions of something just random, and you won't find side-plots ending up with a dead end (in turn with you wasting your time). For some it might be a letdown, but if you really want a manga with style and more than one plot that COUNTS, this is the ultimate top! A 10.
Art: Beautiful images with detailed expressions and actions, the only thing that puts me off is that there can be times when the toning can be overkill ( where even on zoom in on scans you can't see what is going on) Other than that, for a shonen manga, this is probably the highest quality art that you can get. Without a fault that I can name, I give it a 10.
Character:Probabaly the strongest point of the manga, as many old time readers will agree, the character development is superb! All of the characters have a story that, first of all, is not told in one huge chunk of flashbacks as we have so commonly seen ( My first pleasant surprise). Instead, the details are told little by little in situation that really require these explanations, in turn making the story more interesting. No one has the same character and we often see two sides of one character ( as they fight themselves in decisions or in some cases, physically). You will never grow bored of their adventures and soon you will see that they hold something that you can somehow realate to. A 10.
Enjoyment: I get so much joy from sitting down and reading a chapter of this manga. No visable fillers, no long conversations unless absolutely necessary, no random character stories, I find that the manga's whole beauty lies in that. After reading a chapter, it leaves you at a cliffhanger but at the same time, you are satisfied if only for the moment; you feel as if you are given a very good chapter with information ( unlike some manga where you read a chapter and dub it as totaly worthless as you feel you are back where you started). Really, I get a full 10 out of it!
Overall: If you are really in need of something supernatural, shonen-y and full of adventure ( even a little romance!) you must put this on your to-read list. A buy worthy both of money and time, I thing that this brings definitely a certain amount of happiness when reading. If you hve the chance, please give it a try :] I hope you won't be disappointed!
Thank you all for reading my review! I hope it was helpful to all of you! read more
But whatever the case, D.Gray-man has this mysterious air about it, this feel of something apocalyptic and yet real, as though the characters are losing while it is clear that they are winning. [But are they winning? Winning? Or losing?]
There is something about D.Gray-man that makes you think, that makes you wonder, and that makes you shocked and surprised at the littlest of things.
The main character is one that is perhaps not easily identified with, but easily understood. His emotions, his feelings, his goals and his dreams, all these are splayed out in front of the reader. Perhaps not clearly, perhaps not in-your-face, but these themes come subtly across, and whilst these themes might be, like most shonen mangas, slightly clichéd and all too hopeful, D.Gray-man manages to bring them across such that they are believable.
D.Gray-man lets you empathize with the characters, there are never too many of them, and there are never any that you can really hate. Most of the villains [with the exception of the main one who epitomizes pure evil] have this inherent innocence, pardon the pun, to them, and at the same time there is something not quite pure in each and every one of the heroes.
D.Gray-man takes the common perception of good and evil, and while it does not quite turn this perception on its head, it makes the reader start to question, start to think, and start to worry.
Oh yes, the main villain is delectably evil and will stay so, but at the same time, there is this almost childish air to him that can easily be identified with. And yes, most definitely, the main character is fighting to defeat this main villain, but in between them lies this grey area, this killing field where hatred for the other side abounds. And yet, within this hatred lies a certain level of understanding. The characters, they understand each other, they fight each other, and they grow in many many more ways than just power.
One could perhaps say that in D.Gray-man, the lines of good and evil, of friend and foe, are sometimes a little blurred.
There is always something rather, perhaps not disturbing, but profound within the themes and characters of D.Gray-man.
D.Gray-man makes you think, and that is much much more than I can say for most other manga. read more
ok let's get down to business now. let's start with a story. when i first heard the basic story of humans vs. demons what i thought was "this doesn't seem like a very original story and i might get bored quickly" but boy was i wrong! while it might not have the most original concept of good vs. evil there are many little quirks and different sides to it that give it a very original spin and i am far from ever getting bored. i think one of the strongest points of the story is the perfect balance of comedy, horror, drama, fighting, and a hint of romance to top it all off. one of the only things that might irk me a little is the fact that the main characters always seem to be in some of the most helpless situations, but then again that keeps away lame filler chapters and definitely keeps the story going. this story put me through an emotional rollercoaster! i laughed, i cried, i felt angry, and i fangirled.
the art is some of the best art i've seen in shonen manga. the character design catches the feel of the character's traits and it captures emotions so that i can practically feel it coming off of the page and i feel like i'm practically jumping right into the story which is obviously a major plus. the action is intense, the emotions are raw, and the art definitely adds to all that.
no doubt, the characters are the best you will find in any story, manga and otherwise. the characters are definitely far from one-dimensional, especially in the main character, Allen Walker. if you were to see Allen at the beginning when he seems like the most innocent and adorable person in world, and then skip towards the chapters in the hundreds you would be amazed at the development. not only in Allen, but all the characters. none of the characters are completely good or completely evil either and the ugly side is shown in each character which definitely adds to the series.
the enjoyment of this series is the highest enjoyment i have had for any series in a while. i seriously can't stop reading this, i have to always see what happens next.
overall this series is amazing and i can't believe this was created by just one person alone. anyone who is looking for a good series should definitely consider trying this read more
While the feeling of "this is your destiny, find these items" has been used time and again, D. Gray-man does bring some interesting spins. However, this does not ignore the difficulty of such a broad thesis, so to speak. I think that Hoshino realized rather belatedly that it's difficult to keep the reader interested in a manga that will go on for quite a while. There are 109 or so Innocence; the Order must find them all. I think that Hoshino realized this would take quite a long time, and that it was taking on a Tsubasa Chronicle-feel (and we all know how that went...). It scared me a little, how the plot seemed to be a little similar to Tsubasa's. It is my belief that, after realizing this, she added in, "Oh, wait! If the Earl finds the Heart, we're all dead!"
After that declaration, the story seems to peak at the arc with the Ark (hehe... is that considered punny?). After the Ark, everything had this new feel to it, yet Hoshino let me down by not taking advantage of this new start. Then there were complications and the storyline slowed down, eventually becoming as twisted as Tsubasa Chronicle, of which my gut had warned me. What really disappointed me, as a former (well, I guess it is more accurate to say dormant) Yullen fan, was chapter 176. I remember it clearly because that chapter just killed me oh, so much. It is possible, though, for Hoshino to recover from this literary slump. Only time will tell, I suppose.
A very prominent factor in drawing me into this manga was the cast of characters. Though yes, they seemed to be easily grouped into certain "types" of characters (Kanda, for a while, seemed to be a long-haired Sasuke to me, even though Kanda's my favorite character and I cannot bear 95% of the characters in Naruto, including Sasuke), Hoshino finds little ways to begin to wedge them away from that grouping... and after the Ark, slaps them back in the category, which disappointed me-- very much so. However, there is a chance for redemption.
Throughout the time I read the manga, I enjoyed it very much until it seemed like a down period for Kanda, and after 176, I had no will to read it anymore because I was so shocked by what Hoshino had done to him. I got over it, though, and was shocked again. The plot twists involving Kanda wrenched my heart (but maybe that's because I'm biased).
The artwork in the beginning was very good, but it became even more beautiful as the series progressed. Every panel was like a flower blooming; every battle scene was depicted with clarity-- until after the Ark, when Hoshino began having health problems. I will concede that carpal tunnel does impair an artist's ability, but one of my closest friends has carpal tunnel but continues to produce beautiful work whose quality surpasses that of everything she had every drawn before. But I digress.
Character designs are all very unique; costumes and hairstyles are outlandish yet somewhat realistic at the same time. The only person whose hair is unnatural is Allen, and... well... he's not natural. Also, white is a natural color... just not on a boy of fifteen (is that how old he is?). All of the designs are acceptable in a realistic, modern setting (costumes and clothing aside). It is filled with lots of eye candy (Kanda and Lavi ♥),
Overall, D. Gray-man is a very good manga-- to a point. I would like to think that Hoshino has lost interest and needs to be invigorated with the power that once compelled this author to write such a great beginning. Although I have lost interest, perhaps I will come back. read more
Despite the fact that this story begins as a typical good vs. evil plot, the story thickens, twists, elaborates, and eventually becomes a huge web of gray. One of the previous reviews states that the main villain is inherently and undeniably 100% evil. If the reader simply invests into the series, there will doubts. D.Gray Man has proved itself to be unique and compelling. The story line may begin as standard, but evolves onto a whole new caliber.
The art is very appealing to those that enjoy detail. The style consists of handsomely created main characters that are set in juxtaposition with the Gothic 'Akuma' and sometimes ugly Innocence. The visual appeal of D.Gray-Man is never boring, especially considering the fact that the author's style vastly and rapidly changes over time. Look at a picture from the beginning, middle, and end. It's difficult to believe they're even done by the same artist, save the detailed character designs.
Towards the most recent chapters, Hoshino displays an immense understanding of muscle and anatomy as well has implicating immense details into her horror-geared demons. Definitely one of the most interesting mangakas out there.
The characters of DGM are anything but typical. Allen Walker, the protagonist, starts out to seem one way, but then turns out to be another person completely. As the series develops and reveals new questions and insights, so does the main character. Allen begins as someone who knows exactly what he wants and where he's going, and the current Allen is completely at a loss for who he is and isn't as open-minded as he would have liked to think (as are most people in the world). He becomes easier to identify with as he struggles with his identity.
Miranda Lotto is a great comic relief character, and it is delightful to know that Hoshino (the author) based this accident-prone screw-up almost solely on herself.
Kanda Yuu is the typical brooding jerk that the fangirls always fall for. At first, I hated this character. But when his mysterious past is revealed, I gained a new respect and intrigue for him.
Lavi is another one of the humor-oriented characters, but has a very serious dark side. The Bookman clan of which he belongs is a very interesting idea of the author and offers a new take on things.
There are several other lovable characters, one being Lenalee Lee. As far as female characters go, she is one of the best. She has a strong personality and holds her own even without the overwhelming male characters.
The villains are absolutely phenomenal. They're sometimes more likable than the heroes themselves. Tyki Mikk and Road Camelot are good examples. They have their own motives and ideals along with the Exorcists.
There is a nice balance of comedy, tragedy, and mystery. Despite the fact that the situation of the protagonist is inherently hopeless, the readers find themselves loyal and tenacious just like the main characters. There aren't very many dull moments in this manga.
Definitely recommend. There is so much to this series. To really grasp the ideas listed here (and so many more that aren't mentioned), one just has invest in the work. Ultimately, DGM deserves a 10. read more
After the anime ended, I simply had to continue the manga - it is too good not to.
Story 10/10
Maybe some people would say that the story/plot isn't enough to get full points, but nonetheless, the individual stories and past of each character shown up to date are (in my opinion) really amazing, exciting, sad and have some kind of uniqueness to them. (You'll be surprised, because there's always more to come.)
You'll even find yourself enjoying the past of the antagonist(s), their being and the whole world that makes D.Gray-man.
The concept is nothing new, but it is the details that make the series outstanding for me. The story each character carries with them and the complexity of the world as a whole.
Art 10/10
I still give the art a 10/10, although everyone who has been reading the manga from the very first chapter, knows that it wasn't all that good - it was still beautiful and looked pretty, especially with all the details and the darker atmosphere, but it wasn't 'that outstanding'.
But now, I can easily say that it turned out to be one of the most impressive and beautiful artworks I've seen so far - especially so the latest chapter after this long hiatus.
It's just mesmerizing with the well drawn emotions and all the details - the clothes, the surroundings, the shading, I can't complain at all.
Character 10/10
At first you might find this and that person annoying, unnerving, weird and whatnot, but in the end, there really is hardly someone I've come to honestly dislike.
The character development is also quite well done, in my opinion. The past of those interesting and shocking/sad at the same time.
Even the fact that there are so many side characters is lovely - all of them have their own personality and are really likable.
Of course, in every world there are people who aren't our favorite, whether it's their mindset, way of speaking, attitude or whatever, but it would be boring if those people didn't exist at all, right?
Enjoyment 10/10
It might take some time to really get into the series, since you get to know more of the characters, the world and the 'different forces' ('good' and 'evil') slowly, but for me, there has always been something to get me to read the next chapter - to have the urge to keep on reading.
D.Gray-man covers humor, action, drama and more emotional stuff to think about.
If you've enjoyed the first 40 - xx chapters, then you'll be pleasantly surprised about what will come next, because (in my opinion) it just gets better and better the further the story advances.
Or let's say that the story really begins after the 'introduction' to the new characters and the world.
Overall 10/10
It is one of my favorite series of all time and I doubt that it's going to change anytime soon (if at all). I've been a fan of D.Gray-man for a few years now and despite finding really good series (and many new ones are yet to come), it has left such a big impression on me which doesn't seem to falter.
Despite the several hiatuses the series had, I've always been looking forward to the date of its continuation. read more

Story 7:
The manga started off great and the story was very pulling and imaginative. The wealth of characters and the different types of weapons/enemies in the manga made it very enjoyable. Although it followed a somewhat streamline shounen storyline as the main character achieves more and more power-ups as time goes on, the philosophical and religious perspective of the story added more depth than what most other similar mangas have. I loved the story a lot until the more recent chapters where things have gotten very confusing. The story itself is still interesting, but the way the manga is presented it's hard to understand what your looking at and through whose eyes your seeing it as flashbacks and reality become mixed together in an unflattering way. If it somehow comes out of this with some clarity I'd raise the score but as it stands, it is very crude and deserves a mere 7.
Art 8:
I'm not much of an art guy when it comes to manga as long as you can understand what is going on in all the frames. The manga does have a unique look and the characters each have their own sense about them from the drawing, but once again the recent chapters and their confusion has lowered this score as well.
Character 8:
The characters are numerous and up until recently were covered extensively in both their background and how they acquired their abilities. One of the main drawing points of this manga was that even though it had to focus on Allen, it never sacrificed the other characters to do so. Once again, in recent chapters, a large number of new characters are introduced and this score, which was a 10, has now gone down to an 8.
Enjoyment 9:
Even with the recent flaws, the manga as a whole is very enjoyable for a variety of reasons: unique storyline, great variety of characters with a lot of depth, the different weapons and enemies that keep the reader intrigued.
Overall 8:
All I've said above should sum it up pretty well I would hope, and this would be higher if the recent chapters had not taken such a horrible turn for the worst. One can only hope the manga will be restored to its former greatness. read more
I THINK OF THIS SERIES AS A 10/10 BECAUDE THIS SERIES IS MEANT TO TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY (NOT LITERALLY ONE) IT HAS SHOCK MOMENTS, SAD MOMENTS, BEAUTIFUL MOMETS AND ALOT MORE. WHEN YOUR CAUGHT UP WITH THIS SERIES YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW AND REMEMBER HOW YOU FELT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES, MORE THAN A DRASTIC CHANGE IT FELT LIKE A RELAXING ONE, UNTIL IT REACHED ITS CLIMAX AT ONE ARC AND THEN THE WHOLE SERIES SEEMED SO DIFFERENT AND FRESH AND EVERYTHING ELSE PREVIOUSLY STATED. read more
D.Gray-man starts out a regular shounen series and if you don't decide to invest your time into the plot from the get go,it can be easily over looked. I promise you-though it may seem basic and predictable-just give the series a chance, every book the plot gets thicker and the story gets progressively darker as characters are given more depth. I can confidently say the series now more closely resembles that of a seinen and the plot twists and mind f***'s are well worth the wait.
Hoshino has changed her art style a lot throughout the D.Gray-man series and I have to say, the style she settled on after her hiatus is absolutely astonishing. I can't even begin to explain how she does it, but I can say it took a lot of re-reading to fully appreciate every panel and detail of the most recent chapters. Although even before that I fell in love with the way she draws. Along with many others I believe that her characters are the most visually striking element, they have been called "especially lovely" and people have said her work is "some of the best in the business".
At the time I am writing this review only 222 chapters have been released and not all character backstories have been revealed, though the ones we do have I am greatly pleased with and the ones we do not have I am very interested to find ouot about. Every character is pretty original and they all have a very detailed past and personality. There are even some characters who have gone through development and changed for the better. I don't want to get to much into characters because spoilers... But I love them all a lot and think they're great. :D
Yeah, if you can't tell I think the series is great and I really wish people would give it a chance because it's not very well known, few people have even watched the anime (which isn't that great but still...)! I'd highly suggest this to anyone who likes a story with great characters, amazing art and an even better plot. read more
The characters are hard to forget. The story plot moves fast. Other than that, they are Hot! lol
especially Kanda, Rabi and Allen. All in all, its awesome!
Too bad its on hiatus though. Rumor has it that the mangaka was sued for plagiarism so i searched it up. I was frustrated because they made such a fuss over something that is SLIGHTLY familiar. If ever you could see the article then you will feel the same way too. I hope that the mangaka will win the case and continue making it if ever that is the reason. read more
And even though this manga has all of this, it's different from the most popular shounen mangas, and much better than them.
First of all... It's hard to believe, but yes, this story has a plot. Not just separate sagas and fights, but also a clear pattern of cause and effect. Defeating one enemy after the other until you reach the goal is part of the plot, but it's not all of it.
Another good thing is the character development. You can't describe any of the characters (at least the good guys) with just one word, or even one sentence. The main character isn't the usual dumb protagonists, and not the usual attention-seeking protagonist, and not some type of protagonist. He makes the impression of a person, not a type-of-character (and he's cute!). And the other characters aren't stereotypes either, they all have their own personalities.
And here I finally get to the art. Since I'm an artist myself, the art in a manga is usually the most important thing to me. It's not about the actual quality, but about the ability of the artist to show what he means. And D.Gray-man is great! In the fight scenes, it's easy to follow. You can always tell the characters apart. There are a lot of details, but not enough to confuse you. The reason why I give the art 9 points and not ten is because I don't like the design of the monsters. But everything else is awesome, much more than I expected from a shounen manga!
There are many other reasons why I like D.Gray-man. The perfect balance between action and comedy and the character design are just a few of them.
So, erm.. Go read it! (?) read more

I love D.Gray man such an awesome Manga. The first manga that I bought almost every single book. And I don't regret spending money on it. I enjoyed every single book. It is an enjoyable manga.
I rated everything as a 10 for outstanding.
I love all the characters. I love Allen, Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee etc
I always giggle every time I see them all. Only Katsura could make such good looking awesome character (usually you don't see such good looking Manga characters in shonen jump) and they have such nice personalities.
The Art is beautiful, I love it. When I saw the later volumes, and that she changed her art style, I was like no way I love it before. But I got used to it, and I still love it. Katsura Hosino is a wonderful manga artist. Some time the fighting scene get confusing with all that lines everywhere.
The story line some time gets confusing, but I usually understand it.
Overall D. Gray man is an awesome series worth reading and buying. You wouldn't regret it. It's by far one of my favourite mangas.
read more
The manga is also entertaining, although sometimes the author just seems to totally forget what story she's trying to tell. Things get quite dramatic and dark as the story goes on.
The anime does not actually have an ending, as the manga had not completed by the time it finished up, so they just left it a bit open. Really this is fine, it happens all the time.
As for the manga, as of chapter 170-something of the manga, there was a long hiatus, and when the series came back, the artwork style had changed DRAMATICALLY. So, if you commit to reading the whole series, be prepared for the art to change around that time. I'm not sure if I would say it decreases in quality, but it definitely does not look like it's still being drawn by the same person. read more
The story is cool in terms of creativity and its story line. I salute its originality. What I really like in the story is the mystery and suspense with an unexpected twinge then comedy. It's also the reason that I'm addicted to reading it. It keeps you guessing what will happen. The setting is perfect for it giving the right atmosphere in every situation. To be honest I really like the setting because of its period. Why? Because in actual life, the period of the D. Grayman, is when the wars in the world is happening for land, money, and power. But instead, the author made a unique fight between Innocence and the Noahs which is awesome that's why I find the best part of the story in the Noah Ark Arc.
At first, I don't like it but as I continue to read it becomes better and better. I'm fond of the awesome architectures that are never to be found in this word like the ones in the Black Order and in the Ark. The interior designs in the rooms. The accuracy of the architectures of the country like in the Edo, Berlin, Brooklyn, and China is great. I also find the exorcist clothes as fashionable at the same cool.
Like all stereotype heroes, Allen is stubborn but funny. I get well along with his 'tudes after reading lots of shounen manga at home. Every character is interesting in their way. The minor characters are very important to the story like Cross Marian, Bookman, Komui, and Bak because they put a lot of background to the main story. The Noahs are my fave characters because they give a lot of mystery feeling to the story, especially the Earl. He is unreadable and unpredictable in his motives sometimes.
Once you started reading, keep reading. I'm very sure you'll enjoy it because of its story. The humor comes unexpectedly in the serious times that you never expect it to be which leaves you laughing at the same time enjoying awesome fights.
It's awesome and fun to read that you'll get yourself wanting for more. It's thrilling, too. read more
The artwork I found to be astonishing and this requirement carries through other animes I watch or mangas I read. The artwork needs to be good, or else I find myself less attracted to the characters and the story. D.Gray -man probably helped me with this.
I loved the character developments, the Earl still gives me the chills, and Allen and Lavi I just want to hug, it really has established good character outlines. We know enough of the characters to love them, but some of the past still comes to haunt us as the story line continues.
I think I have already mentioned my enjoyment. The ratings were hard to give considering I am thinking of both the manga and anime. The anime, being over, was enjoyable and I could watch it again and again. The manga however is rather frustrating me. The artwork changed, the scan releases are moving too slowly, and the plot has become so complicated I don't know what's going on half the time anymore. I would very much like to see Lavi again, and I'm trying to understand where the story is headed. In this way I think I prefer the anime to the manga at this point in time. read more


text: Google has launched a beta version of a local-information search engine, highlighting growing interest in the still-nascent local search market. The local service started up last Tuesday at the Web address local.google.com , after a few months of semipublic experimentation. The search engine -- which combines local business listings, maps and Web sites related to the local listings -- represents Google's most advanced effort so far to capture advertising dollars that might be spent by small, local businesses online. Though Google Local is officially listed as a "beta," one Google executive indicates that local search isn't simply an experiment for the company. "I think we see local as a core component of search," says Sukhinder Singh, general manager of local search for Google. And while there's no advertising on Google Local, that's only a temporary condition, Singh says. "We do envision over time using AdWords," she says. Google and other companies are addressing a real consumer demand for local information online, says Greg Sterling, a program manager with the Kelsey Group research firm, which studies yellow pages, electronic directories and other local media. In a survey of online buyers announced last month by the Kelsey Group and BizRate.com, one in four online searches were an effort to find a merchant near the searcher's home or work. Some 44% of respondents said they were doing more local commercial searches than they were a year earlier. "My initial reaction is, it's a strong entry into this market," says Sterling of Google Local. "There are bugs. There are quirks. They're going to need to address those on an ongoing basis. But it's something many users will find valuable." Huge Like Yahoo! ( YHOO) and other companies in the paid-search business, Google sees local search as a potentially huge opportunity. Piper Jaffray last year estimated that the market would amount to $4 billion in 2007. The market likes the Net search business too, judging by the recent surges in stocks such as AskJeeves ( ASKJ) and Mamma.com ( MAMA). Prev 0 of 2 Next

Beautiful and eye catching photo
Congrats on the Daily Deviation!
Lovely Congrats on the DD!
Looks almost childlike.
She... Kind of reminds me of Nia Vardalos. not sure why. xD A very nice photo, by the way.
This woman looks so familiar to me.... at least her face does anyway.
Looked almost like an oil painting from afar. This is beautiful work. Elegant, subdued, but expressive. Absolutely lovely.
Congrats, it is well deserved!

Review: FileMaker Go for iPhone/iPod Touch & iPad
Although hundreds of new iOS apps appear every day, apps capable of transforming our handheld devices into nearly indispensable, mobile business tools come along far less frequently. FileMaker Go, recently released by Apple's subsidiary, FileMaker, Inc., is just such a game-changer, providing professionals and small business users a way to access and edit data while on the go.

Opinion: Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field Clashes With AntennaGate
Now that enough time has passed for Steve Jobs infamous reality distortion field to dissipate, what do we think about the cold hard "data" that Jobs presented at last Friday's antennagate press conference. It's great that Apple's decided to pass out bumpers and cases to everyone afflicted with poor reception when holding their naked phones, but why didn't Apple see the freight train of negative press called antennagate coming?

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The state Senate Democratic Caucus is urging Republican Gov. Bob Riley to stop an unbid contract with a computer company that has no Web site.
State Sen. Roger Bedford of Russellville says having a computer company with no Web site is like having a phone company with no phone.
The Democratic Caucus is also proposing legislation designed to thwart contracts like the one with Paragon Source. One of their bills would require the disclosure of subcontractors on state contracts.
The other would allow the Legislature's Contract Review Committee to hold up state contracts for 90 days instead of 45. State Sen. Quinton Ross of Montgomery says that would allow them more time for scrutiny of questionable contracts.

EA Tiburon's "working hard" to get NBA Live 13 to beta
Those wondering why there hasn't been much from the EA camp regarding NBA Live 13 need not worry: it's still in the works. Speaking with Kotaku, an EA Sports representative said plans are in place for "a very aggressive launch plan," and the developers are "focused on bringing NBA Live back in a big way." While an exact release date other than fall hasn't been provided, EA Sports said Tiburon's "working hard to get the game to beta, and we'll have a hands-on experience later this summer."

Paramore Live Video Q&A: Watch The Clips
Watch the Archived Video
Platinum pop-punk quintet Paramore did a great live Billboard.com video Q&A on Thursday (April 29) which found them answering fan tweets about how awesome their audience is, what they learned from No Doubt, having fun on tour, thoughts on making a follow up to 2009's "Brand New Eyes," and all about riding bikes and bowling together. Video clips of full interview are posted below so you can check out all of the action.

Come on back to Billboard.com NEXT Thursday (May 6 at 2pm EST) when we'll do our next Live Q&A with Roots maestro and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon bandleader Questlove (tweet questions for him to @billboarddotcom using hashtag #bblivechat)

Q&A Pt. 6
"We're going to be on tour -- forever," ever-energetic 21-year-old frontwoman Hayley Williams said in Paramore's Billboard cover story last year. She wasn't kidding. The hardworking band did our live video interview from backstage at the "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" show, which they appeared on that night (April 29). And all of this came smack dab in the middle of Paramore's current world tour which hits arenas across the U.S. (and a big headlining stop at Bamboozle in New Jersey) through May 16. Then they'll head to Europe for a spate of festivals in June before coming back home again to criss-cross North America headlining the Honda Civic Tour through the end of September.
Paramore's latest album, "Brand New Eyes," stormed the charts last October, nabbing the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 from Mariah Carey and hitting No. 1 on three other Billboard charts. It's little wonder, however. That success seems to flow from a combination of consistently honing their sound since forming in 2004 and the ability to truly connect with fans. In addition to constantly touring, they are well known for interacting on Twitter. Between the band's main handle (@paramore) and the members' individual accounts (Hayley is @yelyahwilliams, Taylor York is @itstayloryall, Jeremy Davis is @schzimmydeanie, and Zac Farro is @zacfarro), Paramore has amassed over 1.1 million active Twitter followers.

Where are They Now?- Janet Doom-Jennings
Union County girls basketball was very popular and successful in the 1970's, and for Ingomar, it was the play of Janet Doom-Jennings that had the Lady Falcons competing for a state title.
Jennings played for the Lady Falcons during their successful time in the 1970's, including a state championship in 1972. Playing for Norris Ashley in his early years at Ingomar, Jennings said she learned several life lessons from the long-time head coach.
"He came on the scene early in my high school career," she explained. "He was very easily embarrassed, and didn't tolerate any of that, but he was very mannerly and gentlemanly working with us girls. The biggest thing is that he expected us to work just as hard as the boys."
Jennings noted one experience in particular when the Lady Falcons traveled to Southaven, playing for North Half. Describing the team as being sheltered, she said that Coach Ashley kept the girls grounded and focused despite their excitement to play on such a big stage.
"He taught us so many things," she said. "Team work was the biggest thing, but also to never give up or play slow. Watch your opponent closely and learn from them. Play fair, but play hard."
Of course the rivalries within Union County were big, but there was another in particular that was equally as intense, as it also included the two coaches constantly going head-to-head off the court.
"Houlka was one of the biggest games every year," she said. "We had a good team every year and had success going to state, but it was a tough road to get there having to go against them every year."
"It was big not only on the court for us, but Coach Ashley and Coach (Guy) McDonald kept it competitive off the court. It was just an exciting rivalry."
After graduating from Ingomar, Jennings played at Northeast for two years and spent one year as a walk-on at Ole Miss. She later completed her studies in physical education, and she coached for one year at New Site. Settling down into married life, she opted to focus on working as a P.E. instructor, leaving the game of basketball.
"I have a passion working with the little kids," she sad. "I went into working with P.E. full time, just because I feel strongly for that program. It's challenging to find ways to keep those kids interested in different activities, and it was something I always loved working with."
Jennings was able to pass on her athletic ability to her older daughter Jana, who also played for the Lady Falcons, and she also has a younger daughter, who is currently a sophomore at Mississippi State.
"Having gone to and played at Ole Miss, I still remember the day when Casey asked if it was okay to go to State," she laughed. "She was so nervous, but after she asked, I was relieved that was all she wanted to talk about. I'm a proud parent and have no problem wearing either Ole Miss or MSU."
Looking at the current state of basketball at Ingomar, Jennings still enjoys keeping up with her former team, and is excited for the possibilities of the program under their new coach, Trent Adair.
"It should be very exciting with the girls having a new coach," she said. "This should motivate the team, and I hope to see them succeed."
Jennings is one of many former athletes that have made sports in Union County exciting to watch for decades, and it is people like her and the others I've had the chance to speak with this summer that give the current and future athletes something to look up to and accomplishments to strive for in their athletic careers.

Vitol to Ship Rotterdam Fuel Oil to Singapore, Tanker Data Show
Vitol Group will ship as much as 2 million barrels of fuel oil to Singapore from Rotterdam, the first reported supertanker charter in three weeks between the two oil-storage hubs, shipping data showed.
The Geneva-based trader hired the Front Cecilie to load 270,000 metric tons on Aug. 26, according to reports from companies including Simpson, Spence & Young Ltd., the world's second-biggest shipbroker. The Hong Kong-flagged very large crude carrier has been sailing near West Africa in the past month, based on transmissions captured by AISLive on Bloomberg.
The loss from turning crude into fuel oil is the lowest since March 2010 in Singapore, Asia's largest oil-trading center, according to data from PVM Oil Associates Ltd., a broker. The product's discount to crude was at $3.65 a barrel today, from $14.19 at the end of April. Refiners typically accept a loss from making fuel oil, used to power ships or to generate electricity, because of the profit gained from higher-value products including gasoline and diesel.
Elizabeth Adams, a London-based spokeswoman for Vitol, declined to comment on trading operations when contacted by e-mail.
In the most recent reported Rotterdam-to-Singapore supertanker shipment of fuel oil, Gunvor International BV loaded 270,000 tons on the Neptune Glory on Aug. 3 for $3.1 million, Bloomberg data showed.
Fuel-oil inventories in the European hub of Amsterdam- Rotterdam-Antwerp rose in the past two weeks to 854,000 tons, the highest since June, according to PJK International BV, a consultant in Oosterhout, Netherlands. Onshore stockpiles of residue in Singapore last week fell to a three-week low of 19.65 million barrels, or about 3 million tons, based on trade ministry data.

We should never revoke right to life
Published: Wednesday, April 6, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 6, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Our basic precepts of freedom are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. While we support liberty and pursuit of happiness, we neglect the basic freedom God has given everyone: the right to life.
It's ironic that Terry Schiavo was hospitalized from an eating disorder, and we've taken her life in like manner. Does that make us humane, even intelligent? Was her 15-year survival just an accident?
As Terry spent final weeks starving to death, those attempting to intervene were arrested. Why is it now against the law to save another?
This is the dilemma we face as one nation under God. We protect the lives of some but not of all. We choose who lives and dies in our country. While all may be created equal, they aren't treated as such
The fact remains that if we fail to address the immoralities of our legal system, we may find ourselves the next target. When an ideology claims an innocent person's life, it must be abandoned regardless of how well-intentioned it may be.
If we don't combat the subversive contexts of the law today, we'll become a victim of our own silence tomorrow.

JMX (Java Management Extensions)
JMX (Java Management Extensions) is a set of specifications for application and network management in the J2EE development and application environment. JMX defines a method for Java developers to integrate their applications with existing network management software by dynamically assigning Java objects with management attributes and operations. By encouraging developers to integrate independent Java management modules into existing management systems, the Java Community Process (JCP) and industry leaders hope that developers will consider non-proprietary management as a fundamental issue rather than as an afterthought.

JMX facilitates the centralized management of managed objects (called Mbeans) which act as Java wrappers for applications, services, components, or devices in a distributed network. The actual management is provided by an MBean server, which acts as a registry for all manageable resources. The MBean server is the spine of the JMX architectural frame, allowing server components to plug in and discover all manageable objects.
Java Managment Extensions for management and monitoring are an optional extension to the standard Jave Developer Kit (JDK) and can be used in place of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Martin Kaymer, Sergio Garcia take NYC
New Yorkers walking down 54th Street on Feb. 15 were probably surprised to see professional golfers Martin Kaymer and Sergio Garcia hitting balls in a makeshift driving range outside the Golfsmith superstore.
Onlookers -- including Donald Trump -- weathered frigid temperatures at the "white-out" (a promotional event for TaylorMade's new R11 white-head driver which featured a smattering of manmade snow and a sea of golf fans wearing giveaway white hats) to watch as Kaymer, the No. 2-ranked golfer in the world, and Garcia, the former No. 2-ranked player (2008), demonstrated the unconventional driver that has the golf world buzzing.
As Garcia, who earned a reputation for his slow, finicky approach, was addressing his first tee shot, an antsy television reporter took the opportunity to comment -- during Garcia's backswing, no less -- "Come on, it doesn't matter if it's [a bad shot]."
If this had been during a tournament, a comment like that from the gallery might have precipitated a club toss and some heated words. Luckily the situation didn't call for it. The event was both a promotion for TaylorMade and a fundraiser for Operation Game On!, an organization that uses golf to raise money and awareness for handicapped veterans. A target was raised at one end of the driving range -- which was 17 feet wide, 45 feet high and 140 feet long -- and TaylorMade and Golfsmith donated money every time a golfer (including Garcia, Haymer and fans) hit the target with a drive. More than $40,000 was raised.
The R11 driver (which retails for $399) is all white, though the face is black. The head color is supposed to cut down on glare associated with black drivers and, as a bonus, look distinctively stylish. For golfers who've never known anything but black drivers, the look of the new club might seem gimmicky and discomfiting. But for the 31-year-old Garcia, acclimating to the new driver was carefree.
"Funny enough, I found it easy to look at. With a white ball [against a black face], the contrast is actually pretty nice, so it didn't feel odd at all. It was easy to get used to."
Ranked as high as No. 2 in the world just two years ago, Garcia has now fallen to 81st and is still chasing his first title in a major tournament -- 12 years after bursting onto the international sports scene by finishing runner-up to Tiger Woods at the 1999 PGA Championship. The Spaniard, a fan favorite renowned for his exuberance (at least when he was a bit younger) has shown flashes of his old self lately. He was 10 under par and one shot off the lead through two rounds of the Dubai Desert Classic, but he stumbled over the weekend and finished tied for 20th. That was his second top-20 finish of the young season, and he hopes to carry that momentum into his next tournament, the Transitions Championship in Tampa, Fla., in mid-March. Soon after that comes the Masters at Augusta National. Will this be the year he gets off the schneid to win his first major? Garcia, who began using the R11 driver last year, offered no promises or predictions.
"We'll see, we'll see," he said, smiling.
Golf fans who attended the "white-out" event also got to see Kaymer, the reigning PGA Championship winner, lay some wood with the R11. He has yet to use the club during a tournament, and given how well he played last year -- when he became the first player since Woods in 2007-08 to win three consecutive tournaments -- you might understand his reluctance to fiddle with new equipment. But the 26-year-old German, who beat Bubba Watson in a three-hole playoff at the PGA Championship, said he will work it into his bag in the near future.
He'll be joined by quite a few casual golf fans, said Marty Hanaka, chief executive officer of Golfsmith.
"TaylorMade has engineered a club with some unconventional customized features and the white aesthetics of the drivers is generating some of the biggest buzz the industry has seen in a long time," Hanaka said. "Out of the gates, this is the hottest-selling driver that we've seen in the last 10 years."
