I watched the free first episode a few days ago and I very much enjoyed it. I'm glad to hear that the rest of the volume is just as good. Now I have another great series from ADV to look forward to along with Le Chevalier D'Eon.

The one thing I love about Studio BONES titles is how well they play off relationships, and it looks like the Kurau is no exception. The points about the first episode are contrary to what I've been hearing lately in that most people I know said that the first episode of Kurau lacked that spark you usually see from BONES titles. However I do agree that the first episode was well-done, and perfectly set the tone for the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire volume, and can't wait for Vol. #2 to become available. Looks like I have another solid BONES title to add to my collection.
Nice review, Theron. But then again, I didn't expect to see anything less than stellar work from Studio BONES.

What caught my interest here was that Matt Greenfield was directing ADR...
I'll probably give it a shot if it shows up on On-Demand (in the bay area... yeah, this hasn't shown up yet).
Apparently, Monica Rial was chosen by some of the Japanese producers or something (this is what she said anyway... like, this was one of those cases where that casting suggestion thing happened... she was pretty happy about it too).

Yeah, that's right. She posted it on her Yahoo Group fan club a while ago IIRC.
Here's what she said.

The problem there, I think, may be that the series is pitched more as an action series, and that's not what it really is. Someone going in expecting an action emphasis is almost certainly not going to find the first episode living up to their expectations.
Someone going in expecting a story more about relationships, though, should have a much more favorable reaction.

The free first episode makes me hope that there will be a manga down the road, like Eureka Seven.

Oh, but that isn't going to stop shoujo-ai fanatics from drawing conclusions to the contrary!
Feh, I like to think of it as being as "varied soundtrack." The mixture of soft piano pieces and synthesized tracks works well for me, but mileage will vary, I suppose.
Eh, I've never really been fond of Matt Greenfield's work outside of Golden Boy and RahXephon. Stresses too much on exaggerated emotions, and too much additional swearing for my tastes. The English dub for Kurau suffers the same issues, though I didn't find myself reaching for the remote to switch audio and turn on subtitles while viewing like I did for Neon Genesis Evangelion. The main casts' voices work well (Doug's added idiosyncrasies aside), though I was bewildered to hear random accents thrown about. I know that the world of Kurau isn't limited to Japanese, but come on now. Still, I'd say it's worthwhile to check out ADV's adaption for those that've already listened to the original Japanese dub, or else are hellbent English dub fans.
Anyway, I agree overall with the review, and it's pleasent to see that I'm not the only one here who loved the first episode since I've seen some complaints about how "boring" it is. Those type of comments surprise me considering that when I initially watched it, I was amazed at how much was put into the first episode. Still am after watching it -- just simply stunned when we see the series' logo appear halfway through the episode and you realize, "Hey, you mean that there's more?! Whoa!".
I'm downright confused on that comment. I haven't read the manga adaption of Eureka Seven, but just about every single anime to manga adaption that I've come across is downright disappointing and lacking compared to the original. FLCL, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and RahXephon are easy ones to point... Besides, it's been a few years since Kurau has come out, so it's even more unlikely for a manga to come out for it.

I have found that some Anime to Manga works do work. Like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Big O. I've found these manga series to be good and their are others that are as good out there too.

And on the flip side, you also have anime-to-manga works that are just downright awful (like My-HiME).

Good review on vol. 1.
This really is a good show. Very heartfelt at best. I really LOVE this show. It's like my "prozac" of anime. There isn't really many series out there that give me such a warm fuzzy feeling.
I remember reading about it in an older issue of 'NTUSA'. By this time the show hadn't aired yet. When I saw the first set of protagonists, I was pretty much drawn in. This was also, 'Yasuhiro Irie' first solo project. He was a director on the 'Alien-9' OVA. And since I did enjoy that little feature, I wanted to give my support on his new project. Yet, I was willing despite it's first impression. I didn't know why and I knew nothing of it before or after. Nor did anyone else.
Once I got a chance to see the show in it's entirety I was really moved. So moved that I was PISSED OFF during the years waiting for ADV to release it. So many shows came out [in Japan] and were released [in the U.S.] the same year (2004) but 'Kurau' was nowhere to be found. Now in 2007, the wait is finally over and now viewers will have a chance to watch the series and judge it for themselves.
It truly is a beautiful piece of work. Again the music may not be for everyone, but I feel that the group 'S.E.N.S' were possibly the best choice for this film. They give that "ambient" feel, that works well with sci-fi. Again it's not a feature for everyone due to it's pacing. So those looking for something that is not this, stay away from this one. Everyone who wishes for something different with a refreshing twist then this might be for you.
This is definitely a feature that's good for just lying back on a dull quiet day, enjoying something warm or confectionary in front of your TV. Who knows what genre fans will put it in. But whatever the case it'll wrap itself around your heart enough that you won't care.
Guess, 'Kurau' will be sharing a space on my shelves next to 'Figure-17'.

I still one can hope for something. Hell, I would be happy with a light novel or two for this Anime.

I'm really amazed at this first volume. The last few Bones series (Mars Daybreak, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Eureka Seven) seemed to lean towards shonen mainstream action for my taste. Granted RahXephon did have some serious shonen elements, it also seemed a little less rambunctious and had an elegance which can also be seen in Wolf's Rain. Most of the newer titles would frequently have an overly energetic male youth as a lead who is naive and noble. To make things worse (or better for some) the drama for these newer series is often punctuated with a silly visual gag. Kurau feels far more like Bones' older works.
I love the main characters of Kurau and Christmas and find them both charming. I agree that the series shines the most in it's drama. The first episode does an amazing job building sympathy and setting up the main character. There is something about the more realistic character designs (much like D'eon) that really works for this series. The characters and how they interact really reminded me of Speed Grapher and upon doing a bit of poking in the encyclopedia I confirmed that all three Speed Grapher scriptwriters and the scenario person worked on Kurau's scripts and series composition. This familial relations is definitely what this team writes best.
ADV does a great job with the extras and includes a little foldout much like the one in Utawarerumono. I believe the design archives runs over seven minutes and is set to some OST stuff, much like Funi's FMA DVDs.
Overall this first volume shows much promise and my biggest complaint is that Bones continues to make full framed series in this day and age. The industry is at the point where most titles are presented 16:9 with Bandai and Bones being the two biggest holdouts.

I stopped by Best Buy last night on the hopes that they'd have it early...I was in luck, and for the first time since the last volume of Ghost Stories, I took a DVD home and put in in the player that same night. Good thing I'd already pre-ordered the vol. 2 + Box from Rightstuf, because I think I'm hooked. I'd agree with Randall that it had some of the charm of slightly older Bones series like Wolt's Rain and Scrapped Princess, both of which I liked. I also liked the details on the futuristic technology and the gorgeous cityscapes.
Although I sensed elements that seemed similar to other series (Figure 17 as previously mentioned, and the action parts reminded me a bit of ROD and Nancy's powers), it's a solid package overall. I guess they decided not to spend too much time on exposition and packed the first episode chock-full of events. They managed to create enough sympathy for Kurau within the first episode alone that Christmas' re-awakening was a rather touching moment.
I agree that the soundtrack was a little off in places -- the OP/ED were passable, but skippable, some scenes were a little "busy" with the soundtrack blaring, but the low-key piano pieces worked all right.
I checked out episode 4 in the English dub; acting seemed all right, but some of the alterations were a bit too liberal, to the point of taking out those shoujo-ai overtones by changing "just the two of us" to something else. I don't know what's with those accents either. I mean, come on, the vaguely Scottish housekeeper? Does it get any more stereotypical than that? The second Broker was a load of laughs, though. Overall I think I'll stick with the Japanese track and sample some English dub episodes here and there.

The other series that it vaguely reminds me of is This Ugly yet Beautiful World. Although the similarities are on a fairly superficial level there are some nice plot elements that they share, much like Eva/RahXephon/Eureka. I must admit I'm a big fan of Figure 17, and still find it funny that the staff is comprised of the core staff from Berserk. I wish there were more one hour television series out there since this seems to help in the pacing.
My favorite titles are ones that are either original works or are based off of novels. I believe that due to the nature of the media many manga titles seem to become more episodic if they are released monthly or weekly. This makes it easier to follow if you were not there since volume one, compared to most series that are based off of novels or are original. It is much harder to start of mid-series with novels.
With Ergo Proxy, Noein and now Kurau it seems as though all my favorite new releases are SF titles. It also amazes me how different these three series are. They all seem to embody completely different aspects of what I like in anime.
The letter G is clearly the king of letters (198 DVDs here not counting both Galaxy Angel box sets that are in transit!, GITS takes 31 slots, and various Gundam titles take a good 1/3 of the Gs) If I ever made my own anime I will make sure it began with a G!

Well, they have finally sacrificed the first episode upon the slab that passes for ANOD on Comcast these days, and I really wish they were following the older release schedules of a new episode per week or two off the bat before sinking into 2-4 weeks between episodes. Not because I am hooked, but because there seems to be a lot of development/setup, mentioned in the other reviews, that is missing.
A number of ANN/forum reviews go on about all the relationship development and series setup that goes on in the first few minutes, let alone first episode. I didn't see it. While not necessarily expecting this to be an action series either, it felt like there was a short setup, followed by an action setup, follwed by lots of filler, with a short quasi-actionesque scene, and closed with THE BIG HOOK.
Was quite surprised to be thinking through most of it "why does it feel like yet another 'alien has taken over body, become super-human agent, is bored with it, but now must face human tribulation' stories?" Maybe the other three episodes will provide some of the focus ... guess now I have until at least May to watch Figure 17 and find out.
PS. My "G" is bad, but "M" is worse and it doesn't help that I decided to keep the former lower using "Mobile Suit" to sort them all.

KINGSTON — It's the height of the flu season, and state and county records show that while confirmed flu cases in the region have risen in past weeks to 160, the number of cases appears lower than last year's figures at the same time.
The state Health Department has characterized flu levels as widespread for the past six weeks in all but a few counties.
The state's latest assessment showed 2,126 cases statewide reported in the week ending Jan. 11, a 35 percent increase from the previous week. Two people were reported Thursday to have died of the flu in central New York in the past couple of weeks, although underlying conditions contributed to the deaths.
The state department said that between late October and Jan. 11, there were 110 laboratory-confirmed cases in Orange County, 32 in Ulster and 18 in Sullivan County.
While the state department warns that comparing year-to-date cases could be misleading because of the variety of flu strains over the years, county health departments reported that, overall, the current flu season appears to be less widespread than last year.
Those same Sullivan, Orange and Ulster county officials cautioned that if the total number of state-reported cases seems low, — roughly 36,000 — it's because the health department bases its weekly assessments exclusively on cases that have been submitted for review to its laboratory. So if you look around and notice a lot of friends and co-workers suffering from flu-like symptoms, not everyone submits to a flu test. Ulster County Health Commissioner Dr. Carol Smith said she thought the breakdown of those numbers in three age groups was especially revealing. There were 20 reported cases in the 22 to 62 age group, none in the 63 to 69 group and one in the 70 to 89 age group. "That suggest to me that older residents are taking the need for flu vaccinations seriously, perhaps because of past histories," she said. "It may be conjecture, but younger and healthier people aren't doing the same." firstname.lastname@example.com

Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies arrested a Camden man Aug. 1 for possession of a stolen handgun just days after being freed on a $20,000 bond for a charge of second-degree assault and battery. Deputies first arrested the man on July 26 for allegedly attacking his 12-year-old son with his fists and a flashlight. Online court records show the man was freed on bond on July 28.
Yet another vehicle reported stolen in another county ended up at an Elgin recycling business July 31.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) says a woman with a special needs child defrauded the district out of approximately $151,000 during a three-year period. The Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) charged Malinda Wynette Johnson, 34, with "breach/obtain signature or property under false pretenses, value $10,000 or more," according to online court records.
A Lugoff man is headed to prison after violating the terms of his probation from a 2007 case of reckless homicide that claimed the life of a county woman.

I have been testing everything to work around this issue. I am not a developer, so please excuse me if I did this myself.
I have added some widgets of WPP to my site, trying to show the most popular posts in different categories.
I have put in the category ID for posts to be shown, and the same with minus for categories not to be shown (26,-31 etc)
Its working in the way that the only desired category is shown, but the total number of posts goes down. I have set it up to show 4 posts, and if the category only has 2 posts inside the total top 4, those are the only posts shown, meaning that the widget only shows 2 posts.
Is this the way it should be? Or am I doing something wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We were introduced to International Lending Group LLC, RJ Joksch, aka Ralph "RJ" Joksch, Bill Taugher, Bob Taugher, firstname.lastname@example.com, by a broker we worked with in early 2009. They sent us out a LOI on our hotel refinance. We are a company that has hotels nationwide. We had sent them in all our financial information, appraisal, signatory information, taxes you name it. It was a complete package that was created by our local bank here in Fort Worth. They claimed to have completed multiple hospitality financing all over the planet. Along with our Term sheet was a request for a $45,000.00 fee for Due Diligence. We questioned the need for this with RJ on the phone meeting. He said it was for a sight visitation and reorder of our appraisal. We were asking for $23,000,000 and the hotel had appraised at $71,000,000 so a 35% LTV overall with his fees included. He said we would gain a 10 year term at 6.5%. And he went into how he was not responsible for compensating our broker that brought him the deal. That he only collected the charges due to his company and we would need to pay our broker that brought International Lending Group to us ourselves. We had no problem doing this. And after checking his "references" we sent in the Due Dilligence fee.
After a week went by following the transfer of our upfront fees. We never got another call back from International Lending or RJ or anyone. I had one of our employees call into International Lending's phone acting as a borrower from his private cell. And they answered the call and tried to started to do the same format to our employee asking for a Due dilligence fee of $35,000. International had no idea this was just us trying to see if they did indeed dissappear.
To date we have not heard anything from International on our loan request , No site visit has been performed. We called the lead bank that was identified on the LOI/ Term sheet provided to us by International Lending Group LLC and that bank does not exist. We have tried numerous occasions to contact International and RJ and anyone at that office. They refuse to take any of our call or return our messages. We are having the Attorney General of Arizona look into this on our behalf as the amount exceeds the minimum for a felony.
DO NOT USE THESE GUYS IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM! They are nothing but fake lenders that produce bogus offers just to sucker you into giving them upfront "Due Dilligence" money. They are not lenders and will never take care of your loan.

This desponder seems to have some good storyline about this group being a scam and that over $45,000 has been jacked from their company.
Where is the proof of payments made to this group
And the second desponder...
Where is the written proof that you had the same dealings with this company?
Can you provide proof of payment made or funds that were stolen?
If this group is indeed a scam , fraud or otherwise then please provide the promised documentation that proves your claim. If it can be proven that we can bring them to proper justice.
If it cannot be proven then this complaint must be removed.
I am in no way affiliated or involved with any type of lenders or brokers whatsoever.
However I would like to see the verifying proof of funds paid, payments made and any other type of proof
that substantiates your claims.
Thank you!

Tribune's "Curation Issue" Profiles Five SAIC Community Members
"The Curatation Issue," a special edition of the Chicago Tribune's Sunday Art and Entertainment section published on October 6, highlights five influential members of the SAIC community. In "I, Curator," features reporter Christopher Borelli examines "What curating means now. Who does it. Why they do it." SAIC faculty member John Corbett (Painting & Drawing) provides what Borelli terms the "traditional art-world definition" stating, "A curator provides context, connoisseurship. A curator chooses, but not only chooses." To gain a broader understanding of the term, Borelli sat in on a class at SAIC taught by Mary Jane Jacob, "distinguished curator" and executive director of exhibitions and exhibition studies at SAIC. Asked about the proliferation of the term within and outside a visual art context, Jacob states, "a decade ago I doubt many people even knew what curation was about. It was very abstract to people. So I don't think the aesthetic-minded should get their professional noses out of whack. At the very least, thoughtful assembling is a lesson in curation." The Curating Issue also profiles ten influential curators from the Chicago community, including Corbett, Michelle Grabner (Painting & Drawing), Jane Addams Hull-House Museum Interim Director Lisa Junkin (MA 2007), and Image File Press creator Ivan Lozano (MFA 2011).

I am a former reality tv sport competitor and also us army spouse to be, and a pro athlete and writer. I have been in legal pursuit to get back my investment and unpaid wages from these company since 2004. Back then many times during my studies after being on tv for two years I am usually paid in honor of projects per contracting to help give advice or promote and market products. IN return I am paid for the consulting on terms of agreement that I setup or ask for to help with work at home during the war. yahoo live advice offered me an investment to make a return and offer my advice for promotion.
and sponsorship. I would also be having to setup and get paid through my bank of america account and in return pay expenses out of pocket for freelancing at home.
In return also keep in touch with fans and consult all over the world in telehealth. I was put in and scammed invested over 25,000 and was given good standing and put in several catorgories and in control. Where I would also recruit others into the business and earn a commission for doing so to include I also created and designed websites and promoted them off the site.
I was then enforced out of contract without knowing this into a company sold to ingenio..owned by another party then to sell it to att for 28.5 million. on top of that I was out over 11,000 in click fraud marketing on two accounts with yahoo
in my work. I was then being messed with by finding some hacking and clients that were not in my best interest. They were to assure me many clients a day as long as I was available since then they tried to hide info and I was supposed to be settled I sent invoices of 3 million to be paid for back wages and investment plus attorney fees, my at home expenses the credit card problems of identity theft etc....
in return the yahoo settlement was over 336 million I demanded 4 million for these expenses for my own legal action with my association of the service in part I have never been paid and the royalities are still due and the groups exist. and run online since then now I am seeking an attorney to enforce these already lawsuits in district courts of NY and california for my fees and unpaid wages.
I know that they are different today but it does not account for the money that is still owed based ona bill that has passed and supporting independent contractor and I have these rights based on sports and liesure laws and labor laws I want someone to help asap and setup something for them to start paying there is a clause out that and restraining order for no harm and my reputation which lost me clients and my rep on the list at the time which is illegal and by policy I can demand the losses for it took over 3 years and still in hard times of employment because of companies I dealt with that run billion dollar business using means that are supposedly against the law. I am now seeking 336 million
yahoo and them avoid me. they know they oh from judges telling them too. yet they still can pay some lady 40 million for a ceo but not pay back their settlements or investors?
I ask that a media rep contact me personally.

I should have been worried when they gave me absolutely no paperwork when I bought the warranties. "It's in the computer. That's all you need."HA!!!
Within 1 year I was back in the store with camera #1. You can read the rip-off report I filed on this website. Over 2 months, multiple phone calls and trips to the store later we finally received the camera back.
2 weeks ago I had to take camera #2 in for repair. The shutter was obviously stuck. We took it in expecting an immediate fight and were gratified when they took the camera and even gave us paperwork.
Tonight I got the phone call. Your warranty is being denied because the camera has some form of impact damage. Well, duh! That's why you buy a warranty for a digital camera!! No, we didn't drop it or sit on it. The shutter is stuck but they claim impact damage.
Don't shop at HH Gregg. Even if something is less expensive, you get what you pay for.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
First Capital Financial Services gave us a resale of timeshare Verification # 6906211, stating that the buyer wanted to close before the end of 2011 for tax purposes. Everything was looking good until the end of the year, then nothing happened. We were assured by their financial officer, Adele phone # 702-421-4957, that everything was good and the deal was being expedited. Then after the middle of January 2012, we could no longer get Adele to answer her phone, and repeated messages were not returned.
Calling the customer service # 702-605-3889 was no help either. Recently we have tried sending e-mail to the company's firstname.lastname@example.com address, asking what is going on. We got a response from the corporate attorney Mr. John H. Moore, stating they had a buyer, Mr and Mrs Dave Smith. Then Mr Moore proceeded to send us another contract to sign. It had another whole set of sales prices and a new down payment. At the end of the contract there was a new fee for Documentary Stamp Tax of $6786.14.
Which they want us to deposit in a Bank of America account #*******2658 at any B of A, in the name of Direct Specialists. All we have is their word that they are holding a check from the Smiths for $356,696 that is in our name and they can't deduct the $6786.14 from that check to pay for the Documentary Stamp Tax. Today they called back and offered to let us pay half or $3392.07 now and the other half at closing.
We are retired and have many bills that will not get paid if we give them this money. So now they have given us 8 hours to come up with the funds, or they will cancel our contract. When I questioned them about the original contract I got no answer, just bad mouthing about my ability to think straight, etc. It seems we will lose the original $2276 if we don't comply with their request to somehow pay them the $3392.07. It seems to me that this is just an attempt to scam us out of another $3392.07. What are we supposed to do?

The "Nails Group" has rude, uppity Vietnamese immigrants that use unsanitary cutting instruments to "manicure" fingernails and toenails.
The smart-a**, b*tch, Vietnamese immigrant co-owner, that calls herself "Pam" is a real piece of work. She dresses like a wh*re, and acts like she's some kind of "Queen Bee" strutting around like a New Orleans s**t. Someone needs to slap her ugly monkey-face!
I was injured by one of the "Nails Group" unskilled, untrained, unlicensed employees. I also got an infection from their filthy "Salon," and needed a doctor's attention.
The filthy little strumpet that calls herself, "Pam," will not reveal who their insurance company is. (Although I suspect they don't have one anyhow).
The River Hills Mall in Mankato, Minnesota, is owned by General Growth Properties in Chicago, Illinois. Neither River Hills Mall, nor General Growth Properties, will reveal the insurance information of the "Nails Group"
Looks like it's time to seek a lawyer to file a suit against "Nails Group," "River Hills Mall," and "General Growth Properties."
Bottom line:
Beware folks! You will discover very quickly how much scumbags like the Vietnamese immigrants at "Nails Group" will "F" you in your rear-end! That's probably the reason they rudely speak Vietnamese in front of you to their no-ethics scumbag co-workers.

Recent Events in Human Evolution was the first COS Speakers Series' presentation of the 2015-2016 academic year and subsequent presentations have explored topics ranging from the power of music to black holes.
During the academic year events in the series will typically begin at 7:30 PM on the third Thursday of each month on the Weed Campus. No talks will be held during December and January, however, because of the holiday season.
A list of presentation dates and working titles is given at right and will be updated as new information becomes available.
The 2015-2016 academic year marks the sixth season of the COS Speakers Series. As we move forward with new talks we also want to build an archive that will give interested members of the community a sense of the diversity of the series' past presentations. The title of each presentation is listed below and most are linked to a flyer that gives a brief summary of the talk and a little information about the speaker.
Spring 2011 presentations:
Fall 2011-Spring 2012 presentations:
Fall 2012-Spring 2013 presentations:
Fall 2013-Spring 2014 presentations:
Fall 2014-Spring 2015 presentations:
Fall 2015-Spring 2016 presentations:
"The Committee": Rumor has it that the COS Speakers Series is organized by a secretive cabal of full- and part-time faculty members who apparently have way too much time on their hands.
If you have an idea for a future talk, might be interested in giving a presentation yourself or just want to contact the members of 'The Committee' we're told you can reach them at email@example.com.

Foals guitarist Jimmy Smith: What music I'm listening to
Jimmy Smith (second from right) is appearing with the intense British rock band Foals at the Eagles Ballroom Friday as part of WLUM-FM (102.1)'s Big Snow Show 8. Photo by Steve Gullick.
When I asked Foals' Jimmy Smith what he thought of the Big Snow Show 8 lineup at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom (other bands on the bill, besides Foals, include Phoenix, Alt-J, and Arctic Monkeys), the guitarist and synth player said he was a fan of all the acts...well, all of them except Bastille, saying he preferred rock music that actually rocked. »Read Full Blog Post

ORLANDO The Orlando Sentinel reports that a car on fire, Wednesday night, caused a wildfire that quickly consumed 50 acres in Brevard County, Florida.
National Weather Service officials used that fire to remind residents of The Sunshine State that wildfire season has begun and will not peak until the Spring.
Orlando, Florida is running 5 inches below average when it comes to rainfall -- which puts them in an "Extreme Drought" classification.
Rain is in the forecast heading into the weekend -- however, it will likely only be a temporary fix to the problem.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento State was limited to just four kills and a .000 hitting percentage in the fifth and final set as Idaho State defeated the Hornets, 3-2 (25-22, 22-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-9), in a Big Sky Conference volleyball match Friday evening at Colberg Court.
The Hornets (5-11, 1-6) recently completed a two-week, four-match road trip, and returned home to face a Bengal squad that has now won 11 of its last 12 matches. Two weeks after dropping a five-set match at home to first-place Portland State, Sacramento State fell in five to the second-place team as ISU improved to 13-4 and 7-1 in the conference.
The Hornets have dropped six straight matches, and will look to get back on the winning track when they host Weber State tomorrow evening at 7 p.m.
After Sacramento State and Idaho State split the first four sets, the Hornets jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fifth and decisive frame. However, that marked the Hornets' only lead as ISU went on a 10-4 run to take a commanding 10-5 lead. Sacramento State got no closer than within four points of the Bengal lead the rest of the way. Idaho State hit .300 (9-3-20) in the fifth set while the Hornets had four kills and four errors in 16 attacks. No Sacramento State player had more than one kill in the fifth frame while Tressa Lyman (3), Breanne Van Every (3) and Alydia Fields (2) combined for eight of ISU's nine kills in the set.
Overall, the Bengals held healthy advantages over the Hornets in kills (64-52), hitting percentage (.202-.149), assists (61-48) and digs (81-61). Sacramento State did have 15.0 team blocks, but were limited to zero stuffs in the fifth set.
For Sacramento State, rightside hitter Kayla Beal had a team-high 15 kills while freshman outside hitter Sloan Lovett added 12 kills. Middle blocker Olivia Moss had seven kills, six blocks and a team-best .438 hitting percentage, and middle blocker Ashley Newcomb posted nine blocks. Newcomb has now combined for 20 blocks over the last two matches, raising her season average to 1.27 blocks per set.
Three Hornets had double figures in digs, comprised of libero Sydney Kordic (17), outside hitter Janelle Currey (15) and defensive specialist Katelyn Ivy (season-best 13). Ivy also added a match-high tying three aces.
Idaho State's Van Every (16), Lyman (16), Fields (13) and Jaclyn Hone (13) combined for 58 of the Bengals' 64 kills. ISU used eight players in the match, and Hone (13 kills, 10 digs, 8 blocks) fell just two blocks shy of a triple-double.

So, I called INFINITY customer services number (800) 762-1020 to investigate. I gave my name and information for customer services person to pulled up my file; however, it couldn't be found immediately. After several attempts, it was retrieved. Yes, the customer service person confirmed that I do owe $77.78 for non-installment payment. I was shocked and aw that a non-installment payment could became a debt. So, I asked customer services if there is person there who could help me and explain how could a non-installment payment became a debt. So, I was transferred to speak with CHRISTINE SEWELL. Over the phone she said, "I'M THE SENIOR UNDER WRITER!" Then, she stated that on April 04, 2010, INFINITY requested an installment payment from my bank. By April 09, 2010, my bank notified them that my bank account have no sufficient fund. Then, on April 22, 2010, INFINITY sent out a notification (which I dumped in the trash without opening it) about my delinquency in installment payment, and it's the amount they're seeking to retrieve or remedy. I've injected, "I've known of the facts that lead to the delinquent of my installment payment. But could you explain to me how does it became a debt?" CHRISTINE SEWELL said, "FOR THE CONTINUE COVERAGE INFINITY PROVIDED DURING THE ACCOUNT DELINQUENCY!". Huh?my shock and aw deepen about this. So, I again injected, "Why? Doesn't my conduct (not funding my bank account, not responding to any notifications) shown that I do not wanted INFINITY services anymore?" CHRISTINE SEWELL FINALIZED, "BY LAW, INFINITY ARE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE COVERAGE DURING THE DELINQUENCY." My shock and aw deepened further. I exclaimed, "Which law is that? could tell me the section?" CHRISTINE SEWELL answered was, "I DON'T KNOW! IT'S CALIFORNIA LAW!". So, I asked her how could I find out about "THIS CALIFORNIA LAW or THIS CODE OF LAW?". Her answer again was, "I DON'T KNOW! CHECK WITH THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER!"
So, I did just that. I went to the California Insurance Commissioner website and search for the code of law that could be applicable to this situations. I FOUND NO INSURANCE CODE OF CALIFORNIA LAW WHICH MANDATED INFINITY TO CONTINUE COVERAGE DURING ACCOUNT DELINQUENCY. The closest was Chapter 5, section 480-490 (The Premium) and Chapter 10, section 660-669.5 (Cancelation and Failure to renew). Chapter 5 and Chapter 10 would applied to this case because it references to the installment payment and failure to renew:
Chapter 10
661. (a) A notice of cancellation of a policy shall be effective
only if it is based on one or more of the following reasons:
(1) Nonpayment of premium.
Chapter 4
480. An insurer is entitled to payment of the premium as soon as
the subject matter insured is exposed to the peril insured against.
Chapter 10 is very clear that a nonpayment of premium, which what an installment payments are, is an EFFECTIVE CANCELLATION NOTICE. On the other hand, Chapter 4 is not as clear but it spelled out that INFINITY IS ENTITLED OR EARNED A PREMIUM ONCE ITS SUBJECTED TO A RISK OF LOSS (ONCE IT INSURED A POLICY). However, except a cancellation, rejection, submission, and rescission. But Chapter 5;481(b) is the most pro-founding regulation of them all because it states that INFINITY MAY NOT MANDATED THAT THE PREMIUM ARE FULLY EARNED UNLESS THE POLICY HAVE EXPIRED.481. (a) Unless the insurance contract otherwise provides, a personinsured is entitled to a return of his or her premium if the policyis canceled, rejected, surrendered, or rescinded, as follows:(1) To the whole premium, if the insurer has not been exposed toany risk of loss.(2) Where the insurance is made for a definite period of time andthe insured surrenders his or her policy, to such proportion of thepremium as corresponds with the unexpired time, after deducting fromthe whole premium any claim for loss or damage under the policy whichhas previously accrued. The provisions of Section 482 apply only tothe expired time.(b) No contract for individual motor vehicle liability orhomeowners' multiple-peril insurance may contain a provision whichmandates that the premium for the policy shall be fully earned uponthe happening of any contingency except the expiration of the policyitself. This subdivision shall not apply to policy fees or membershipfees.
Since my nonpayment is an effective cancellation notice and my policy has not expired, then INFINITY DIDN'T EARNED ANY DOLLARS OF PREMIUM FROM ME.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT (AP) — Dong Wan Sin's three-run single helped South Korea defeat defending champion Japan 12-3 Saturday in the Little League World Series international championship.
South Korea had a seven-run second inning on just two hits. Leadoff batter Hae Chan Choi also brought in two runs on a double during the inning. He finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
Thanks to three walks, along with a failed play at the plate, the South Koreans took a decisive lead.
"Scoring seven runs makes it easier," South Korea manager Jong Wook Park said.
Japan's first hit didn't come until the third inning. While the Japanese team scored once in the fourth and twice in the fifth inning, it was too little and late.
"We couldn't stop their momentum and we had an unlucky situation," Japan manager Junji Hidaka said.
Today, South Korea will face Chicago, a 7-5 winner over Las Vegas in the United States Championship game Saturday, for the overall title.
South Korea will make its third trip to the championship game, after winning in 1984 and 1985. Park said his team isn't feeling any pressure.
"People back home just cheer for us," he said. "We'd like to win as much as possible, but just to be here is winning already."

Hi I'm Adrian
Help support your Meetup
A laid back informal ultimate frisbee game, Sunday mornings at 9. We welcome veterans, people who haven't thrown a frisbee before, and everyone in between.
Best of all, it's free to play and we're nice people who take water breaks! We've been playing since 2009. Not all of our players are on Meetup.com to RSVP.
Inclement Weather
In case of rain the night before or the morning of play, check this site to see if we're still playing. If the field's closed, there's a chance that we won't play. If the field's open, but there's a steady downpour, it's unlikely that we'll play.
How we play:
*If you don't know how to play, we'll teach you the basics....all are welcome!
* We don't use stall counts, force defenses, cup defenses, stacks, etc. Some have said we play ultimate with a backyard family atmosphere. Playing ultimate should be fun!
* We aim for easy going gameplay so you won't be given (or giving!) commands on how to run or where to play. Nobody wants to be told what to do.
* We welcome players of all abilities who make it a point to get everyone involved in the game. Don't make us have to remind you to throw it to your other, open teammates, even if they're not superstar players because, really, none of us are.
* Remember that ultimate frisbee is a non-contact sport. We have players from 7 to over 60, so rough play is not cool here. Overly aggressive play will earn you a timeout. If it's a pattern, we'll boot you from the group.
* We usually have at least 7v7; often we have enough for two games. No matter the turnout, we'll get some exercise.
* Hope to see you there!

We're outside all the time all of a sudden, and I feel so unprepared! I don't have any activities in my mind yet for outdoors! Gotta start making a list I guess.
So today I'll start with some from It's Playtime! Its crazy that this March weather has let us play outside everyday, and without coats! Crazy! But I'll take it.
The Artful Child shared 10 ways to play outdoors in the springtime that are sure to get us started.
How about a few more outdoor play ideas:
Above, clockwise from top-left:
- Simple yogurt cups make a fun upcycled waterfall for outside! A Childhood List has a simple tutorial on how to make them!
- Forest Tots took painting outside (and tells you why). Love the natural aspect of this painting!
- Make music in the yard! Child Central Station has an awesome setup!
- Mixing sand & water (a childhood favorite of my own) can lead to hours of play as it does at Happy Little Messes.
Fill every week with activities using the planner.
Receive access to the free activity planner and keep the fun going! You'll also receive activities every week in your email. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Do you browse Pinterest and pin activities......but find that you never actually do them with you kids?
I created these activity plans that are actually doable and a super quick way to be more present with my kids.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Lodge At Breckenridge
Good Value
While not "luxurious" we thought the place was fine. It has a cozy feeling and the service staff was very accomodating. I'll agree the carpet was stained, but I try to not spend any time anyway on hotel carpets! The location was great - nice views. The facilities were good - fitness rooms and spa, and the restaurant view was amazing.
My only complaint is the water temp in the showers varied from hot to cold during each shower, and the rooms were quite hot. Couldn't seem to get the thermostat turned down enough so we slept with the balconey door open!
I'd stay there again certainly, and the price was excellent for what it was.
More beautiful than imagined
This is an enchanting spot with great views and classic charm. A great healing for the overworked mind and body. All you had to do was ask if you had a need or want---the staff was great.
There is a relaxed appeal and although not perfect the staff tries to address all expectations.
Part of the character is its age and beautiful blemishes. I loved that pets were welcome.
Don't miss out on this uncomparable view and cozy comfort.
I should have listened...
After reading mixed reviews online here, I contacted the hotel directly via email prior to our stay. My partner and I are convinced there is simply a different (lower) standard in Breckenridge for lodging. The location was lovely, the restaurant was fantastic. I didn't have a chance to partake int he spa, (too busy clombing mountains) but it's seemed to be nice. The "kitchenette" is really a dirty microwave and small refrigerator. The dishes were not clean (which we've found typical of condos in the area), the carpet was filthy. Stained and not vaccuumed, and the room had clearly not been dusted. (Not a high-maintenance requirement, rather we have allergies to be considered!) All of those details missing are forgivable, but that I had to call (TWICE) to have my bedclothes changed during a three-night stay was ridiculous. Not each night, I can understand and appreciate overnight sheets being left on, but we had a spill and the housekeeping just threw the covers back up (didn't actually MAKE the bed) on the dirtied sheets.
If it were a bargain hotel, that would be understandable, but it isn't. We will not stay there again.
The Lodge was just Beautiful
We just got back from Breckenridge and had an Awesome time!!! The Lodge was beautiful, just what we wanted!! The staff was great, helped us whenever we needed driving directions to get to different places. Our room was great, we upgraded to a mountain view....worth the extra $10 a day!!!
Just want to say thanks for the great hospitality and we'll see you again real soon!
Thank God for the Lodge and Spa at Breckenridge!
I've lived part of each year in Denver, Colorado, for 10 years and I've been going to Breckenridge 1 or 2 weekends a month while I'm there the entire time. And I am so grateful for the Lodge and Spa! I found this Jewel a few years back and haven't stayed anywhere else since. You can't beat the views, the cozy lodge-style charm (including the double fireplaces in the main lobby over-looking the Breck valley), the cleanliness, the well-maintained and well-furnished rooms and facilities, the hot-tubs, the spa and pool, and most of all the first-name-friendly and always smiling and available management and staff. I am perplexed by the negative comments written about it - after spending dozens of weekends at this hotel I've simply never seen or experienced any of those negative remarks. The management and staff keep the place in ship shape and treat their guests with a very refreshing home-style touch. And I've recommended it to tens of friends, family members and acquaintances and have only heard very positive feedback from them as well. Keep up the good work Lodge and Spa!
Perfect Mountain Getaway...
This was an absolute diamond in the rough... It has the high class "lodge" feeling, yet I didn't feel out of place with blue jeans on. I love that pets are allowed... it has a blast from the past charm. It gives you a getaway world from the real life crap we all face. Nancy was a wonderful hostess as were all of the employees, making you feel relaxed and every bit as welcome as the millionaire next door. What a beautiful view... it stings me to read the negative comments... if those people wanted the Ritz Carlton, that's where they should've booked a room... this is a mountain lodge getaway not a New York City show room. A beautiful place with excellent staff... I'll go again!
Great Staff
Our traveling group of 9 people stayed for four nights at this lodge. The staff, especially Dawn, were very helpful. The rooms were above average and the bargin price was great. The continental breakfast included waffles and a variety of other choices. We are definitely planning a return trip.
We loved this place!
I was a bit nervous about this hotel given the bargain price, but The Lodge & Spa far exceeded our expectaions! The views from this hotel are astounding. The front desk staff was very kind & helpful & recognized us by name during our stay. There were always snacks, coffee & tea in the lobby by the 2-sided fireplace. The breakfast was outstanding - yummy waffles! The hot tubs & indoor pool were terrific - well taken care of & perfectly situated. Our room could have used some fresh carpet, but that is as close as I can get to a complaint. And how upset can you get with Aveda toiletries to soothe the nerves???
We will definitely be back!
Wonderful visit.
This is a special place. My wife and I spent three days there and never regreted a minute of the time. The food is excellent, the service is good, and the spa facilities are wonderful. Our massages were first rate and worth the money. The Sales and Marketing Manager, Lesley, made this experience far better than we could have hoped for. Look her up!
Not impressed
I had high hopes for this hotel. It was always a place I had wanted to stay. We picked it for our one year wedding anniversary. The view was great! The hot tub and pool were wonderful, contrary to other reviews. But the room was not well furnished. The bathroom was small. And I found our room to be dirty - stains on the carpet, dustwebs in the corner. Happy that we only stayed one night.

Just go on google and put "photography of Ansel Adams" and enjoy.
Enjoy my humble ones as well.
Final skiing mystery
So April 1st was actually Gaper Day, not Gaybor day... The event started decades ago as a way to show off old ski gear on April Fools' Day and since then has evolved into an all day party where locals dress in clothing poking fun at 'gapers' or tourists. Ahh, so that's what it was.
Woke this morning to couple of inches of new snow and a layer of fog. Temp was 18F but with wind chill factor feels like 6F (~ minus 14 C). So much for ...
Christmas, New Years & Birthday Celebrations

Midland credit management refuses to fully investigate fraudulent account activity even after I provided multiple forms of identiy theft documents. This also involves a phone company that choose to not be a part of this incident. It is very bewildering to know their websites are not fraudproof.
i was in jail at the time of the account being used. I provided a person concise report to MCM several times, wrote several letters as well. How could a person open up a mobile phone account, by using a computer, while they are incarcerated.
