"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"We thought this was going to be the standard paper used at Walgreens etc. It is not! High quality, thick paper. The cards turned out great! Faster shipping than expected - even very close to the holidays!!"
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"

I'm getting my results tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had the grade boundaries for the B1B, C1B and P1B Core Science Edexcel, as well as for the Maths Edexcel modular? Thanks in advance!
Edexcel Core Science + Maths modular results 19th April 2012
|Posted on
Mark boundaries are almost pretty much the same for Edexcel multiple choice, [Out of 24 - the actual paper mark. But marks are given out of 40] (21 +/-1) A*, (18 +/-1) A, (16 +/-1) B, (14 +/-1) C. Don't think we need to go lower. It depends on how 'hard' the test is. You will have done fine. I was always surprised with C1, B1 and P1 marks.
And Maths, On the results sheet it is 108/120 A*, 96/120 A. I don't know the others, and I also don't know the actual paper marks. They're probably halved as they're out of 60, but don't count me on it. I think it might depend on the percentage of marks you gained.
Good lcuk on your results tomorrow! I find out my maths results tomorrow aswel...
Module 2 retake for maths
and then I also did the linear paper
Do you happen to know the mark scheme for the linear paper?
I'm sure it's out of 200 with both the papers combined..
I mean grade boundaries, sorry. Not mark scheme.
I did edexcel unit 2 maths and the grade boundaries are:
The link for all the exam grade boundaries on edexcel:http://www.edexcel.com/iwantto/I%20w...Boundaries.pdf
Personally hoping for an A, but I won't get my results back until Monday, because I broke up for Easter a week later than most other schools.
Thanks so much for quick responses guys! I think I did pretty well on maths unit 2 though, hoping for A at least but I think I still did some stupid minor mistakes in there. As for the probability one, that was a killer. If I get a B i'll be over the moon.
I just love how low the grade boundaries are for march exams. It just brightened up my night
got an a in core science chem feeling so good considering i didn't revise
I got A* in Chem core Science, A* in Biology and a D in Physics! Need to retake that D to get A* overall in science. Also I got an A and B in maths Well pleased! What did you all get?!
A* in b1a =d 40/40 :d
I got 40 in both Chemistry additional papers, and 40 in both additional Physics papers. Quite pleased....
(Original post by American Vampire)
I got 40 in both Chemistry additional papers, and 40 in both additional Physics papers. Quite pleased....
(Original post by Memphis93)
So you should be! Well done I have my additional science exams on the 30th of May.
Got A* in Chem (C1b - 38/40) and B in B1a (30/40)
(Original post by Memphis93)
Yes, all 3 of them, and on the June 12th I have multiple choice Additional Science exams as well. But I'm, getting there I love Science.

I attended Pacific school of Design in San Francisco where I was taught pattern making and sewing, I then traveled to Rome, Italy and had a small atelier in the heart of downtown Rome that I shared with other artists and artisans were I made custom women's clothing
After a few years I returned to California and worked in the Interior design business, everything from sales, custom sewing to design consultant
I now reside in Portland, Oregon. For the past 10 years I have happily stitched away in my home studio producing handcrafted items for select retail establishments and custom orders.
I have a vast cache of special and beautiful antique textiles, trims, and various fancies from the Victorian era to the 1950's that I acquired during the years I lived Europe and from my recent treasure hunts here in the great northwest
Through some magical unseen process these items carry with them the romance, history and beauty of times past that I incorporate into new designs. I also use reclaimed recycled, designer and couture fabrics in my work
Everything is handmade by me with the utmost care to workmanship and detail

Published by Rachelle Disbennett-Lee
Thursday, May 2, 2002
Delegation is a great tool. However, what do you do when
you are the last person in the delegation chain? You might
find yourself overloaded and under appreciated. There are
a few things you can do if you the last delegatee.
Make a list of all the projects you are working on. Then
schedule an appointment with the boss and ask for support
on how to handle your workload. Believe it or not the boss
may not be aware of how much you are doing. By making him
or her aware, they may be able to get you some help.
If there is no one who the boss can get to help, let the
boss decide what priority each project holds. By letting
the boss establish the priority of each project, you take
yourself off the hot seat of trying to decide what to do
If more than one person delegates to you, start a sign-up
list. Let each person know what you are working on and when
you will be able to complete their project. If they have
any concerns about this, suggest they go to the boss and
discuss how the job might be done sooner. Many times, people
will be OK with the time frame as long as they know up front.
If this doesn't work for them, they can choose alternatives
for getting their project done in their time frame.
Practice saying, "No." Often we say yes out of
fear of what others will think or that they may not like
us. If you can't fulfill a commitment, it is better to say
no rather than make a promise you cannot keep.
Stop volunteering. Those of us who can do a lot often think
we can do a lot more. There is a limit. Stop volunteering
for projects. Even though the project may sound interesting,
if you are already overloaded, volunteering will not make
matters better. If someone tries to volunteer you, practice
saying, "No." You can say something like, "It
sounds like a great opportunity. Unfortunately, I already
have more than enough to do and will have to pass on this
one." If it is the boss who is volunteering you, let
them know what you are already doing and then she or he
can decide how to prioritize.
There is a difference between being delegated to and being
dumped on. Do what you need to do to make sure the workload
is something you can handle. Remember to take care of yourself
and do what you have to do to protect your health and sanity.
As long as you let people overload you with work, they
will. Learn to say no and get help when you need it. There
is nothing wrong with having strong boundaries around what
you will and will not do. The more you respect yourself
and set your limit, the more others will respect you.
Are you doing too much?
Success Formula
Setting strong boundaries
+ Knowing personal limits + Saying No = Manage delegation
"We accomplish all that we do through delegation --
either to time or to other people." Stephen R. Covey

Men's Health Red Flags
StrokeSymptoms: Sudden paralysis of a part of the body (usually in an arm, a leg or the face), numbness, vision changes, slurred speech, uncontrollable eye movements, and loss of memory are all symptoms of a stroke.
Description: In its simplest terms, a stroke is the result of the brain's blood supply being blocked, either by a blood clot or an aneurysm (blood vessel breaking open). The interruption, and resulting loss of blood flow, kills brain cells, causing varying degrees of brain damage.
Treatment window: The first thing that needs to happen if you suspect you have had a stroke is to get yourself to a hospital, stat! It's best if you can get medical attention within three hours of the stroke's onset, and you can usually count on being hospitalized and closely monitored for a few days, at least. You'll probably be put on medication to help rejuvenate oxygen flow to the brain and — if the stroke is long gone and you're still having trouble with movement or speech — assigned to an appropriate form of therapy.
Coronary heart disease (CHD)Symptoms: Typically, warning signs for CHD are chest pain under the sternum (usually in association with exertion or stress) or atypical chest pain, which can occur in the left chest, back, arm or abdomen, as well as shortness of breath. In some cases, you won't know you have this disease until you have a heart attack.
Description: Also known as coronary artery disease, this ailment usually descends when the arteries narrow as a result of a buildup of plaque and fat. A reduced diameter equals reduced blood flow to the heart. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women. Risk factors for CHD include family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, and unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as lack of exercise, obesity and smoking.
Treatment window: Since many of the key risk factors for CHD are associated with lifestyle choices, it stands to reason that keeping tabs on your health will play a major role in keeping the disease under control. Reducing the amount of "bad" fats, such as saturated fats, cholesterol and trans-fatty acids may be successful treatments, as well as reducing sodium, getting regular exercise and quitting smoking. Medication such as blood-thinning drugs, beta-blockers (to lower blood pressure) and calcium-channel blockers (to relax the arteries in the body) may also be employed.
CirrhosisSymptoms: Leg swelling, confusion, jaundice, red, spider-like blood vessels on the skin, weakness, and weight loss can all point to cirrhosis.
Description: Think of your liver as your own personal blood filter. Not only does it help fight infections and digest food, the liver helps clean the blood of harmful agents. Cirrhosis, caused by chronic liver disease, develops when scar tissue builds up on the organ, which hampers its functioning. Cirrhosis is often associated with alcoholism, although hepatitis B and other ailments can cause the disease. At its most severe, cirrhosis can lead to kidney failure and the need for a liver transplant.
Treatment window: There's no cure for cirrhosis, but you can prevent further liver damage by nixing alcohol and taking medications. In severe cases, you may need a liver transplant.
raising a red flagIf you're experiencing any of the above symptoms, don't let fear get the best of you. Have it checked out sooner rather than later. Just like that office chair with the wonky wheel you've been too lazy to fix, you don't want your first health wake-up call to be when it all goes crashing to the ground.

10 former Jazz players around the league (10 items)
The Utah Jazz traded or released a handful of players before the start of the 2013-14 season. The move was made to help develop young, upcoming players by giving them more minutes.
The Jazz stumbled out to a 1-14 record, but have since won nearly half their games and have improved to a 12-26 mark.
The young players have looked good so far, but did the Jazz make a mistake letting so many veterans go? This is a look around the league at 10 former Jazzmen and how they are performing on their new teams (players' statistical averages are through games of Jan. 9).
Follow Trent on Twitter @TheRealTrento.
1 of 10. Al Jefferson, Charlotte Bobcats
The Jazz chose not to re-sign Jefferson after the 2012-13 season, but there are no hard feelings from the fans in his departure. In his return to Utah in December, he received an ovation from the crowd. ESPN wrote, "Jefferson has been on an absolute roll over the past 10 games. Jefferson is undoubtedly among the best big men in the game."
2 of 10. Paul Millsap, Atlanta Hawks
Millsap wasn't re-signed by the Jazz to give the young players more minutes. The Hawks signed him at $9.5 million per year, and CBS Sports called it one of the free agency steals of 2013.
3 of 10. Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets
The Nets surrounded Williams with aging talent this offseason in bringing in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko and Jason Terry to team up with Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson and Andray Blatche. What was supposed to be a super team has failed miserably. Injuries have hurt the Nets, and they sit at a 15-21 record in the Eastern Conference.
4 of 10. Mo Williams, Portland Trail Blazers
Williams has been a spark plug for the Blazers this year, helping them to a 27-9 record, third-best in the stacked Western Conference. He backs up former Weber State guard Damian Lillard. Williams plan on opting out of his contract and re-signing with the Blazers at the end of the season, according to Comcast Sportsnet.
5 of 10. Carlos Boozer, Chicago Bulls
Boozer has been plagued with injuries throughout his career. He left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans by missing significant time with the Jazz, and many questioned if his injuries were legitimate. The Bulls are considering using their amnesty clause on Boozer, according to Nick Friedell of ESPN.

I think Wes Matthews should have been on this list. He sure was a great pickup for us, and I wish we would have kept him.

The Daily Start-Up: Highland Capital Cuts Fund Size In Half
This morning's roundup of the latest venture capital news and analysis across the Web:
Sawing A Fund In Half - Greylock Partners had no trouble rounding up money, raising a $575 million fund in just four weeks or so. Accel Partners gathered $1 billion for two funds in less than two months. But another well-known firm, Highland Capital, took a little more time to raise a fund that is half the size of its predecessor. Highland today announced a $400 million fund it began marketing in the spring. The smaller fund size, Highland says, is by design, not due to a lack of LP demand. "I think we have to be more careful about the amount of dollars needed in companies," General Partner Bob Higgins told VentureWire. Read that story here.
Niche Players – The Wall Street Journal points out three venture capital firms that changed the way they do business to stave off a shutdown. What do these firms have in common? They're all small, niche firms that need to distinguish themselves. Don't expect any bigger firms to adopt these strategies anytime soon. But what these little guys are trying to accomplish is interesting.
Virtual Reality – If you're starting up a new company, forget the office early on – stay virtual, says serial entrepreneur David Cancel. "At the beginning, use the cash you'd be spending on rent to invest in things that grow your business," Cancel writes.
Tinker Toys - Behold the second Industrial Revolution. The American tradition of "tinkering" – essentially inventing things with your hands – is back, declares WSJ, thanks to the economic crisis and falling prices of high-tech tools and materials. Here's an interesting stat: According to the American Association of Engineering Societies, there were 27% more undergraduates who earned mechanical-engineering degrees in 2008 than in 2003, while the number of computer-engineering graduates fell 31% during that time. As Thomas Friedman wrote in The New York Times, "We need to get back to making stuff, based on real engineering not just financial engineering."
No Silicon Rally – We keep hearing about a recovery in Silicon Valley, but employment at technology companies is stuck in a slump, according to WSJ. Internet jobs are on the way up, but employment in computer and electronics product manufacturing has fallen hard.

When Alice Van Ness started teaching yoga to Facebook employees at the company's Menlo Park campus a few months ago, she didn't expect to be taught a lesson.
And a costly lesson it was. The 35-year-old San Carlos resident was fired last month for trying to restrict cellphone use in her class.
"I understand it's a busy world we live in and you've got to pack it in, but it's beneficial to your whole system to let it go for an hour," said Van Ness, who has been practicing and teaching yoga for six years. "An hour isn't too much to ask."
Although she tells her students before every class to turn off their cellphones, Van Ness said that in the middle of a Monday noontime class at Facebook, a female employee pulled out her phone and began typing during a half-moon pose. Though Van Ness didn't say anything, she gave the student a "look of disapproval," which the student later complained about to others.
"It's not appropriate," Van Ness said in explaining why she shot the student a stern glance. "It's time to pay attention. I've even hurt myself in that pose. ... I don't believe there's anything that could be going on at Facebook that couldn't wait a half an hour."
Two weeks later, Van Ness said she was called into a meeting with her supervisor at Plus One Health Management, with which Facebook contracts to oversee its onsite gym and fitness programs.
"They sent me packing, they didn't even want to hear my side of the story," Van Ness said. "They already had my paycheck ready."
According to the termination letter, the employee said Van Ness had "made a spectacle of her" during the class by stopping instruction and glaring at her when she pulled out her phone.
Van Ness said she didn't know the employee's name or whether she is a high-level executive at Facebook.
The termination letter emphasized the company's readiness to bend over backwards for its customers.
"We are in the business of providing great customer service, unless a client requires us to specifically say no to something, we prefer to say yes whenever possible," Van Ness said, reading from the letter.
Just like that, Van Ness said she lost a third of her monthly income for weekly fitness classes in yoga, Pilates and spinning at Facebook and one yoga class for Plus One at Cisco Systems.
The incident, however, has made her a cause célèbre among yoga devotees and she's already accepted new work teaching classes at another yoga studio.
Slater Tow, a Facebook spokesman, said because Van Ness is not its employee the company has nothing to say about the matter. Facebook does not require employees to keep their phones on throughout the work day, he said.
Officials for Plus One Health Management did not respond to requests for comment.

Almost one million people resorting to payday loans to cover housing costs - Shelter
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Bill Payments
Almost one million people resorting to payday loans to cover housing costs - Shelter
Almost one million people have used a payday loan to help pay for their rent or mortgage over the past 12 months, according to research published by Shelter.
The charity is stressing the dangers of turning to short-term, high interest credit as a way to help meet housing costs.
Campbell Robb, Shelter's chief executive, said: "Payday loans may seem like a quick fix, but the huge interest charges mean things can quickly spiral out of control. We know it can feel like there's nowhere to turn to but no one has to struggle alone – Shelter can help.
"It's vital that anyone who's having difficulty paying their rent or mortgage gets advice now. Don't wait until things reach breaking point later in the year – it could leave your family's home at risk."
The YouGov survey carried out on behalf of the housing charity also showed that around 1.5 million people are falling behind with their housing costs - putting themselves at risk of repossession or eviction.
The survey found the number of people constantly struggling to pay their rent or mortgage has increased 44 percent over the past year, with 7.8 million people now facing a monthly battle to keep a roof over their heads.
Mandy, a mum of three from West Sussex, took out a payday loan after falling behind with her rent. She explained: "I felt I had to take out the loan but found I couldn't pay it back the next month. It's just made everything ten times worse. I am at my wits end and it can just feel completely hopeless."
Shelter is warning that as austerity measures start to bite this year more people who are already feeling the squeeze could be at risk of homelessness.
Campbell Robb added: "We've already seen a rise in demand for our services as more and more people struggle to keep up with their rent or mortgage. Sadly they're discovering there is little left of the housing safety net that was once there to help them get back on their feet."
Russell Hamblin-Boone, Chief Executive of the Consumer Finance Association, queried the survey's results.
He said: "We would question that a survey of just 101 payday loan users is an accurate representation of the entire payday market and it is not the message we hear day in and day out from our customers.
"What is true is that with rising fuel costs, food prices, council tax and rent, household budgets are tighter than ever and there is very little slack to cover unexpected expenses. As a result, many people value the simplicity, transparency and flexibility of being able to borrow on a short-term basis to help manage their expenditure.
"We would stress, however, that a payday loan is a short-term option only and should never be used to try to fix larger, long-term debt problems.
"We advise anyone who is regularly struggling to pay their rent or mortgage to get advice from organisations like Shelter or Citizens Advice. If debt is a wider issue, there is free advice available from charities such as StepChange Debt Charity, National Debtline or Credit Action.
Shelter is urging anyone struggling with their housing costs to seek advice early at shelter.org.uk/housinghelp to help them get on top of their payments and stay in their home.

I was honestly hoping that there would be some form of continuation at least. Although as far as I can see when I visited the website and watched the trailer, it's got its own plot and it takes place in the middle of the series maybe, timeline-wise. I should have expected as much, considering nearly all movies of anime series make very little impact to the main plot, probably as a way to draw new fans in and please old fans with new settings, character development etc. at the same time.
My only concern is that a certain someone wouldn't leave another certain someone while going off in a hot-air balloon like in The Conqueror of Shamballa, if you know what I mean.

well,so I think this thread is perfect for me XD
obs: sorry for the mistakes in english ^^"",I hope you guys will understand what I tried to say
when I heard that a FMA movie would be produced,I was thinking in a post-Brotherhood,of course.For me,this kind of movie would suit better than a boring random filler movie.
(I know that Brotherhood over,but I think that a post -series movie would not "tarnish" and "disrespect" the end that arakawa think for her manga(this is what ive been heard from some people,at least)
a movie taking the last of the battle of (
Series Final Spoilers ahead!! --->
the promised day,and then "complete" some parts that was maybe quite fast at the end of manga(i dont know,how Roy will help Ishival,if the other coutries around amestris(that are military countries too)would try to attack it,or if they will create agreements of peace; Xing too,how would be the relationship with amestris;the Elric brothers too,obviosly Ed cant do alchemy anymore,but Al can(I guess XD) so there are some stuff that could be utilizable, I dont know(. Its not me the producer of a movie XP.)But with this, the movie would not be called "Fullmetal alchemist" since Ed isnt a National alchemist anymore,but he still an Alchemist,after all, so he will always search for betters ways to alchemy.
I think it would be cool to see this.)
However,this kind of plot doesnt suit for a "shonen movie",so its only a wish of fans,they will not do a movie for such 'little things.
So now I ask: Why they decided that a movie like Mirostar would be better? I mean,for me this is a movie that disrespected the autor,because :the movie will not be consistent with the work of arakawa.So they will put a random story, with just the chosen characters(like Ed,Al(of course lol) Roy, Armstrong,Riza ,Winry ,together with some random characthers and...thats it. .FMA its only this.Homunculos and Xing people?who cares about them?¬¬ the thing that will be much more interesting to see in a movie is alchemy stuff,freaking chimeras,and flying soldiers. and the worse is that the current characthers of FMA that really apeear in the movie will be only a stereotype kind, like any shonen anime.
obs:I dont know If the animation and drawn stuff(that bothers me in the movie too) can be described here,so I will finish with this ^^''
this is , roughly, why I dont like this movie before watching it.
<When including series final spoiler content, please make sure to also mark the spoiler with "series final spoiler warning" such as,
Series Final Spoiler!
^^ Thank you!!

I don't exactly know what to think about the movie, but I'm already a bit disappointed because I would have wanted it to be a sequel, not something that takes place in the middle of the series, but just as
said most of the anime movies actually are like that(even though in The Conqueror of Shamballa, things are different

Sorry for sounding harsh but this movie seems like an OC fanfic,sadly.I have read some and I can say I remember I've read something similar like this in fanfiction.net
But let's be honest there,do we need this? FMA has already an amazing cast why they never tought about a Xing movie? Or a Flame Alchemist spin-off (team mustang action that lacked in original series) heck,I always wanted to see Roy and Edward fighting together against someone filler or canon.It'd have been damn awesome.I quite don't understand this.Seriously until now half of the movie about Julia and Melvin.Not even Ed and Al.I don't care for them.Who is she? I prefer to see a pre-manga-teen military staff (including olivia) flashbacks then those I-will-never-see-them-in-canon guys' sad life.I'd prefer to watch a movie where Winry uses her wrench as an actual weapon,lol.
I know this movie is not that bad because unlike Shamballa there isn't any OOC action but why don't they show any other sides of the characters we love instead of adding new characters? That's my only complaintment and disappointment.
Oh my thank you acaray for the summary! I hope you'll continiue it because I am not thinking to watch it,this summary will help for me.

When I first heard what movie will be about, I was dissapointed. Because it's not a continuation, because it's not about Xing or something like that, because it's not about papa Hoho's past after he got immortal (LOL like they'd make a movie about it! But wouldn't it be super-awesome? 300 years of journey, and he was in Xing too!
), and stuff. But - that will be kind of off topic, haha - after I saw the trailers, my dissapointment dissapeared. This movie has the feeling of FMA's earliest volumes, the feeling of an adventure. And I absolutely love the animation. Man, I would watch this movie only for that animation! I'm really grateful that the animation director and chara designer is the guy who worked on Ghibli movies. I also think he got the designs of Arakawa the best, Brotherhood wasn't that similar to original style, on other hand - it was inconsistent.

Sorry for sounding harsh but this movie seems like an OC fanfic,sadly.I have read some and I can say I remember I've read something similar like this in fanfiction.net
But let's be honest there,do we need this? FMA has already an amazing cast why they never tought about a Xing movie?
See, that's actually the one aspect of this whole production that has me most intrigued - I love that fan fiction type stuff because it affords other minds the opportunity to experiment with distinct musical, directorial, animation and story-telling techniques. It doesn't always work, but if done well (as in, say, the opening episode of Brotherhood), has the potential to be really entertaining. More of the same, especially at this point in FMA's lifecycle, strikes me as 'too much of a good thing.' Granted, I would have preferred something a bit more relevant (say, a movie about Bradley's early years and the founding of Armestris, Hohenheim's personal journey/romance with Trisha, or Roy's alchemy training), but an examination of Creta's relationship to Armestris is still valid canonical development.
I do have to comment, though, that of all the areas outside the world of Central glimpsed thusfar, Xing seems to me the most stereotypical and least worthy of further consideration. There's an element of personal bias in that statement, certainly, but I just can't bring myself to care for the two dimensional presentation of certain elements within the Xing sub-plot (Fu and Mei's generic characterization with stereotypical ninja tropes presenting the worst offense to my sensibilities). They've always struck me as unnatural additions to the FMA character roster, and speaking truthfully, Melvin, Julia, or even the Black Bat squadron fit into my concept of FMA far more seamlessly than alchemist ninjas.
While I harbor some overall disappointments with the direction of Milos Star ('off-topic' side story narrative, questionable art style), in the end, I think I will grow to appreciate this film. It's directorial quality certainly appears more consistent than Brotherhood's schizophrenic oscillation between phenomenal and pedantic.

That's totally a personal opinion.
People say "well it's not that bad because storyline is already over" but I think FMAverse is not only about Ed and Al there are many faces and adventures of the "main cast".(because fma has one awesome cast already!)Heck even Pinako has some adventures we don't know.(remember the mechanic in Rush Valley?)
Creta's relationship with Amestris even tough an important canonical development,it comes later in importance list.It can be again done with actual cast making Julia and Melvin as secondary casts.Creta is not my complaintment,it's nice to see different parts of FMAverse but this journey could focus on other "real" charas (with ed and al of course) and somewhat include their stories on it.There is a story,but a story of an outsider.
Also if they want to make fic-like adaptations they can make gen-fics and use
characters.(inner fangirl says they can make The Elemental Chess Triology by LadyNorbert,wanna see action: check,romance:check,every character gets action:check,amazing character development:check...ehem...) OC fics are...not my type.
And I wouldn't have any right to say on movie if it was around Ed and Al (aka canon characters) but making it around OCs,ignoring canon cast just...ugh.Hopefully I heard Julia isn't a total Mary-Sue but stillshe very well could be a background character.
As for Xing,I agree I couldn't bring myself into them either but...THEY ARE THE PART OF CAST AT LEAST.And its importance is more than Creta.
I see where you are coming from but that's my opinion.While the most of fandom enjoys it I'll ignore it's existance and cross my fingers for side stories revolving around "our" characters.

Aw, thank you,
! That's really sweet of you!
(I would have thanked you sooner but I've been away from the forum for a while and am currently playing catch-up with different threads.)
I can see what you mean about the movie seeming like a fanfic onscreen, and I'm very disappointed by the fact that, since it's set while Roy's recovering from his battle with Lust, he's not in it as much as I would have wanted. (Then again, I'm still holding out for a Flame Alchemist spinoff.) But still...it's FMA and I'll almost certainly go see it when it finally gets here.

According to my sources, Sacred Star of Milos is 11.5 of the manga and I have scans of the manga over here:
<*cough* Please see my post below.

I trust that they followed Hiromu Arakawa's writing (although the art leaves a lot to be desired for the characters in the movie)

About this movie reminding of fanfic, I read some Japanese fans commenting that the story reminded them of FMA Playstation Game 3,
"Kami wo tsugu shoujo"
(there is only Japanese version of this game).
Note on
Vol 11.5
Just to mention... it is officially stated that the timeline of the story in "FMA Sacred Star of Milos" is during FMA manga Vol. 11.
But, I don't go so far to say that "FMA Sacred Star of Milos"
Vol. 11.5 of FMA.
(The movie is more closer to a 'side-story' i.e. gaiden, as I see it. ^^)
I think, technically speaking, FMA manga portion of Vol. 11.5 is chapter 45.5.
(Although we know that, Vol. 11.5 is not titled "FMA comic" but "Miloboshi comic" so I guess vol 11.5 is sort of FMA/FMA-MiloStar hybrid volume
And, by the way... We DO have
whole scan of Vol. 11.5
, including scans (all 22 pages of it) and full translations of chapter 45.5 by Arakawa. They are posted in
FMA manga forum
scans of chapter 45.5
are posted
Translations of chapter 45.5
(by me) are posted
Scanned pages of the
rest of Vol. 11.5
(in Japanese, not translated yet) are posted
And you may want to check out
8 page FMA mini-comic
that bridges chapter 11.5 and the movie that was included in FMA Sacred Star of Milos movie pamphlet that was sold at the movie theaters in Japan. We have scans and translation posted in this
MiloStar Movie Spoiler Zone forum
(It contains mild spoilers of the movie)
By the way, we have scanlations of these two comics also, and may make them available to members upon request sometime later. ^^
Anyway, anyone would like to further discuss FMA Vol. 11.5, please go to
FMA Vol. 11.5
thread in FMA manga forum.
General Reminder
: This thread is a "safe-harbor" thread where people can express their disappointment about the movie (before seeing the movie) without the rest of us posting rebuttal. Please allow people who feels disappointed about this movie for one reason or another (before seeing the movie) a place to post their feelings and thoughts.

I knew it! I had a feeling you guys probably have it already but I'm horrible at looking. I thought I'd try to post about it
Thank you for the info Tombow~
I wanted to say that the reason I am disappointed about Milos without even watching it was because of mostly the art. The art really gets to me. I like the colors and the background art, but why are the characters so badly drawn? Why is the animation incredibly choppy for the action scenes? etc.etc.etc. It looks really LOW budget for a movie :C

I'm kind of disappointed it wasn't continued from the last episode (as I thought it would be
- series final spoiler ahead --->
Ed and/or Al traveling to different countires
), and also, my inner Roy fangirl is sad because he'll rarely be in there (at least that's what a review site said?).
But if my friends decide to watch it, I'll watch it with them. And by decide, I mean get their hands on it! XD
RoyAi: Pretty much means Roy decided to ask Riza out without being afriad he'll get shot in the crotch.

The perfect welcome party
Roger enjoyed a triumphant welcome home in Basel yesterday. Around 3,000 people turned out for the event, giving Roger, Stanislas Wawrinka and Fabian Cancellara (cycling, the third Swiss winner of a gold medal in Beijing) a standing ovation as they arrived.
Doubles tennis winners Roger and Stan and two-time cycling champion Fabian Cancellara displayed their medals from a balcony at the city hall on Thursday. The celebrations came just two days after Roger clinched the US Open victory, his 13th Grand Slam title. "It is good to be back in Switzerland after a long journey of more than nine weeks. It is special to be able to share this moment with Stan and Fabian," said Roger.
It was a perfect event to celebrate the great victories. Video clips were shown on a large screen, with great music bringing back all the emotional moments. The three athletes enjoyed walking through the crowd, giving autographs and having their pictures taken. They were then interviewed on a large stage, joking and eventually hitting autographed, oversized tennisballs towards the spectators. Official speeches by local politicians, the president of the fan club as well as Ralph Jeitziner from Nationale Suisse, sponsor of the whole event, rounded the party off well.
"It means a really big deal to me to receive such a welcome in my home town. I will keep this day in my memory for ever."
You deserve this warm welcome ! Switzerland should be really proud of you .
Wish you good luck in Stockholm tournament & hope that you beat Karlovic & take your revenge our dear HERO !
have a nice days and celebrate roger and we like you in court and off court have fun
miss u roger
Please do not listen to any critics good or bad. Only you know what you can and cannot do in the tennis world. As for my thought I think you are very very very good at your game due to you manners and your class of handling win or lose. I hop

The Breakthrough Series Collaborative leadership was a diverse group of experts with experience, knowledge and passion for their work. The collaborative was co-chaired by Zeinab Chahine, managing director, Strategic Consulting Services, Casey Family Programs, and Lewis "Harry" Spence, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Kennedy School of Government, and former commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Social Services.
The co-chairs worked closely with 11 faculty members:
The co-chairs and faculty members came to the collaborative with a history of success in implementing or changing practice in safety and risk assessments and decision making. The leadership team was composed of key stakeholders in the implementation of safety and risk assessments and decision making, representing consumers, parents, youths, caregivers, workers, supervisors, administrators and community partners. Download short bios of all the team members.
Because the Breakthrough Series Collaborative methodology is built on an evidence-based practice framework, teams often want to hear "how this worked" in other sites throughout the country. The co-chairs and faculty members served as practice experts on the selected topic. They shared their expertise and experience in applying the framework's best practices (from the practitioner's or family's perspective). This sharing often included data, stories that highlight a specific systemic shift and "lessons learned" in their jurisdiction.
The Breakthrough Series Collaborative leadership also played a critical role in supporting and mentoring teams -- helping teams learn the practice framework, understand the methodology, and brainstorm changes they will test. Faculty members facilitated communication within and between teams, building a culture of cross-team learning.
Co-chairs and faculty members also served as consultants to the staff and planning team. They identified team-specific issues that needed to be addressed, provide insight into how teams approached the change process, pointed out common themes and learning across teams, and served as a "think tank" to resolve problems.

So I did one of those decadent actions I do every so often. I
went to bed last night, started a book, got some sleep, and then
finished the book this morning. I received Connie Willis's
Bellwether in the mail on Friday (thank you Michelle!), and
decided to just read it. This is the first time I knew someone
who used my Amazon Wishlist. Normally I just get books from
strangers who are thankful for source code I release (mod_layout
seems to be the software that people are most thankful
I liked the book though it was a bit outside of my normal definition for Science Fiction. There really wasn't much of a science fiction angle to it. The math was all statistical …

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Sep. 3, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- Chopped up Boston butt, lots of baked beans and fall-off-the-bone ribs, but that's not all.
"We had applewood smoked bacon wrapped around a filet mignon, soul seasoning on that, herb butter on top of that, and then some Gorgonzola sprinkle," said Pitmaster Richard Pearce.
Hundreds of pounds of flavor-packed meat and beans were judged and then sold to the hundreds of people who lined up at the fifth annual Day of Hard Labor BBQ Cook-Off on Newberry Street in downtown Aiken.
"Best year ever. The weather cooperated," Pearce said.
Besides being an award-winning pitmaster, Pearce is Aiken's city manager. He says the city set up this labor day cook-off five years ago as a fundraiser for the United Way of Aiken County. It's a cook-off for fun, but there is some competition.
"It's friendly, but it's fierce," Pearce said.
Dwayne Courtney, who works for the Aiken County Sheriff's Office, cooked the competition in the ribs category.
"Well, we cook them real low and real slow," Courtney said.
His right-hand pitmaster is Aiken Department of Public Safety Director Charles Barranco. Cpt. David Turno from Public Safety and his team competed next door. A few more down, Deputy Coroner Jeff Smith cleaned up the competition. He won top prize in this event. It's the seventh top finish for the professional pit-master this year.
"I think one of the things that sets us apart from a lot of the other teams is our equipment. We use backwood smokers," Smith said.
But for Smith and the others, the real trophy is thousands of dollars to the United Way of Aiken County.
"Aiken is a very blessed community, but there's a lot of folks that are less fortunate," said Sharon Rodgers, president of the United Way of Aiken County.
Rodgers says the thousands raised this year will go through United Way to a number of causes, from senior programs to others for children.
"That is pretty awesome," she said.
Last year, the event raised $3,500 for the United Way. Rodgers expects that number will be bigger this year.

It's the holidays, and that means spending LOTS of time with family. I decided it would make sense to share some childhood stories, so my guest this time around was my brother, Andrew. He also brought his dog Rusty, who didn't have much to contribute to this topic. Probably because he's an only child.

The only Monroe County medical clinic dedicated to serving lower-income adults based on ability to pay is suspending operations next month.
The Monroe County Family Health Center Adult Clinic, on East Stroudsburg's Brown Street, will only serve patients through Dec. 14.
The health center's pediatric and dental clinics will remain open.
Two problems — the absence of a full-time doctor and lack of funds — forced the adult clinic's closure, Family Health Center board member Rich Schlameuss said.
"The real challenge is that there are a lot more people needing services than we were able to provide to," Schlameuss said. "The practice was unsustainable at that level of funding."
Services are provided on a sliding fee scale, based on the ability to pay.
A large percentage of patients have no health insurance.
Some rely on Medicaid or Medicare.
The adult clinic had just one, part-time doctor, who was looking for fewer hours, Schlameuss said. The clinic was unable to hire another adult physician.
The clinic opened in mid-2011 to serve low- and moderate-income patients.
Its application to the federal government for qualified health clinic status — providing funding in areas with a high percentage of low-income residents and a shortage of doctors, including hiring incentives to help pay off doctors' school loans — was unsuccessful.
No new federal clinic funding has been announced.
The board hopes to reopen the adult clinic as soon as possible.
"We're going to be actively pursuing other options," Schlameuss said.
The pediatric and dental clinics have more reliable funding than the adult clinic and will continue to operate, he said.
