For those who are involved in the various ministries of the church, Holy Week can be very hectic. By the end of the last service on Good Friday, many of us are physically exhausted and somewhat burnt out. Those serving in the Catechumenate cannot rest until after the Easter Vigil because the needs of the catechumens and candidates need to be nurtured right through their full initiation at the Vigil.
I have always found music to be an antidote to Holy Week fatigue, in particular the St. Matthew Passion of J.S. Bach. I pick out the pieces from the oratorio that are most meaningful to me and listen to them through the week. By allowing this incredibly beautiful music to wash over me, I have a greater appreciation of Jesus' sacrifice. That makes Easter even more glorious.
Note: Mark's account of the passion will be read on Palm Sunday this year and, as always, John's is read on Good Friday. According to his obituary, Bach wrote five passion oratorios, including one based on Mark, but only the Matthew and John have survived. The St. John Passion is magnificent, too, but St. Matthew Passion is my favorite. The English Chamber Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic recorded them in English some years ago and these versions are still available. If, miraculously, you do have the time, go to a live performance. There will be plenty this week.
This is the opening chorale of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, "Come ye daughters, share my wailing." It's in German, so here's a translation. I hope it will enrich your appreciation of this most solemn time of the year and of the indescribably generous act of love it commemorates.
"Come, ye daughters, share my wailing.
See ye! Whom?
The Bridegroom see!
See Him! How?
A Lamb is He!
O Lamb of God, most holy,
The bitter cross Thou hast taken.
Look ye! What?
How patient He.
At all times meek and lowly,
Though by Thy children forsaken.
Look! Ah, where?
Upon our guilt.
All sins by Thee were taken,
Else hope had us forsaken.
Look on Him, for love and grace,
He Himself His cross must carry!
Have mercy on us, O Jesu.
Come, ye daughters, share my wailing.
See ye! Whom?
The Bridegroom see!
See Him! How?
A Lamb is He!"

In a downtown Buffalo courtroom, with a phalanx of U.S. marshals standing watch, the chilling details of one of the biggest organized-crime cases in decades are starting to unfold.
Five murders, including the slayings of two innocent neighbors caught in a crossfire, are at the heart of the 10th Street Gang prosecution. It is a case unlike anything this community has seen since the crackdown on Laborers Local 91 a decade ago and gang leader Donald "Sly" Green 10 years before that.
Twenty-two reputed gang members face felony charges, and 11 are charged with murder or attempted murder. Sixteen of the original 38 already have taken plea deals.
It's a case that involves an unusually large number of defendants and the allegation that they acted collectively, as part of a criminal enterprise, to terrorize a West Side neighborhood for nearly a decade.
A trial is still months away, but seven days of pretrial hearings that began more than a week ago have provided a glimpse into the confessions and statements that are the foundation of the prosecution's case and that defense lawyers claim are either false or coerced.
Most of the defendants have been in handcuffs, watching from the jury box.
"OK, I was there," Jonathan "Jmag" Delgado allegedly told police about the shooting that killed two innocent bystanders in 2006.
Delgado's confession is just one of many statements that came to light last week as one defense lawyer after another challenged police tactics.
"The intent was not to kill innocent people," Delgado allegedly said in his interview with investigators. "I regret even being there. I regret that it even happened."
Brandon McDonald and Darinell Young were the innocent victims caught in a bloody turf war between the 10th and Seventh street gangs that day in April 2006.
McDonald, 16, happened to be visiting with friends when the shooting broke out, believed to be in retaliation for the killing of Delgado's younger brother earlier that day.
Young, 45, lived next door and was caught in the stray gunfire while returning home from the store after buying snacks for his pregnant girlfriend.
Delgado, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, is one of five defendants charged in the double murder and, according to police, not the only one who has admitted his role in the killings.
Samuel "Set" Thurmond, another 10th Street Gang member, came clean after his arrest in February 2012 and implicated three others, including Delgado, investigators said.
"What do you want to know?" he allegedly told police.
Thurmond claims that, as he and the rest of the gang approached the house at 155 Pennsylvania St., he noticed the people in front were not Seventh Street Gang members.
"Listen, I don't know any of these people," he told the others, according to police reports. "I don't recognize anybody. Something is wrong."
But then the shooting started.
By some accounts, Thurmond's admissions may have been the first inkling to his fellow defendants, most of whom were in the courtroom, that he had cooperated with police. It is an impression that his defense lawyer tried to combat by challenging the credibility of the investigators who questioned Thurmond.
"Did it occur to you to record my client's interview?" Jeffrey Wicks, a Rochester attorney, asked State Police Investigator Josh P. Keats during one of the hearings.
"And at no point did you seek to have him sign it?"
Keats answered, "No" to both questions and suggested that his report was simply an account of his interview with Thurmond, not a formal written statement.
"Those are oral statements you documented later?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Tripi asked Keats.
"Yes," said Keats.
The murders of McDonald and Young are just two of many violent acts, including three other homicides, that investigators have linked to the 10th Street Gang,
A federal indictment charging the 22 defendants also ties the gang to the 2008 murder of Omar Fraticello-Lugo on Busti Avenue and the 2009 killings of Christian Portes on Whitney Place and Anthony "Ace" Colon on Ullman Street in Riverside.
Kyle Eagan, a 10th Street Gang member described by investigators as the "worst of the worst," has already pleaded guilty to killing Fraticello-Lugo, a 16-year-old rival gang member.
Another 10th Street member, Saul Santana, also has pleaded guilty to murder for his role in the Colon killing. A third gang member, Miguel Moscoso, is charged in the Portes killing.
Formed in the late 1980s, the 10th Street Gang dominated the West Side neighborhood bounded by Niagara Street on the west, Richmond Avenue on the east, Auburn Avenue on the north and Carolina Street on the south.
Gang members were known for "tagging" buildings and signs with graffiti to demonstrate their control of the neighborhood. They also were known for wearing plain white T-shirts and tattoos with "MOB" or "10" in the design.
Defense lawyers have challenged the statements, confessions and other evidence gathered as part of a three-year investigation by the FBI's Safe Streets Task Force, a coalition that includes investigators from the State Police and Buffalo Police Department.
For five days, Tripi, the lead prosecutor, called law enforcement officials to testify in an effort to prove their work was beyond reproach.
The defense countered by arguing that their clients' statements were either false or coerced or otherwise unconstitutional.
Like Wicks, defense attorneys Terry Granger and Paul Dell wanted to know why investigators, in this day and age, didn't record their interviews with their clients, Matthew "Matt Nasty" Smith and Desmond "Dez" Ford. Both men are accused of murder.
"Was it tape-recorded?" Dell asked a detective at one point during Ford's hearing. "And why not?"
Granger also posed the question to investigators and, later during an interview, contended that all interviews and interrogations should be documented on video or audio tape.
"They should all be recorded," he said.
"They would show that the statements and confessions are accurate, and accuracy and truth are the linchpins of these hearings."
For many of the defense attorneys, the most important legal question facing the court – U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh B. Scott is overseeing the hearings – is whether a conspiracy even exists in the 10th Street case.
They dispute the notion that the 10th Street Gang was a criminal enterprise that committed crimes to further the enterprise, an allegation the government needs to prove in order to prosecute gang members under the RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) law.
The RICO charges are central to the prosecution's overall case and are crucial to turning what could be nominal prison sentences for selling drugs into significantly longer sentences.
"I don't think there was a conspiracy," said Angelo Musitano, a lawyer for one of the defendants, Cody Busch. "I think it was a bunch of kids out there doing their own thing."
Originally used to go after the Mafia in the 1970s, the RICO law is now being used by federal prosecutors to dismantle violent street gangs.
"The racketeering act allows the government to charge a group of people involved in multiple crimes," said U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. "And when we get to trial, it will be incumbent on the government to show there was an enterprise."
There is no trial date in the 10th Street case, and it's likely there will be more than one trial if the number of defendants remains as high as 22 as it is now.
The federal appeals court in New York City has ruled that no more than 10 criminal defendants should be tried at one time.

OTTAWA – The Buffalo Sabres remain in a no-win situation.
They can't win on the road. They can't win at home. They can't win with Ryan Miller in net. They can't win with Jhonas Enroth. They can't win while ahead. They can't come back.
The Sabres failed to win for the seventh time in eight games Tuesday night, dropping a 4-3 decision to Ottawa. They have lost three straight and are 1-6-1 in the last eight outings.
"It's a frustrating time not winning hockey games," defenseman Jordan Leopold said. "As we've seen in the past with our team the last couple of years, we find a way to win and we end up figuring out how to win, and we win a lot of hockey games. We have to find that jam ourselves and figure it out quick."
Leopold, T.J. Brennan and Jason Pominville all had close-range chances to tie the game in final 40 seconds, but they couldn't find the net and erase the team's poor start.
"When things are going well, those opportunities, those whacking at pucks in the slot when there's 20 seconds left, usually find a way," Pominville said. "When things aren't going our way, they don't find a way."
Coach Lindy Ruff tried to mix things up by starting Enroth in Scotiabank Place. The goaltender allowed three goals in the opening 14:15 to a team that totaled just one in the previous two games.
"That's not good enough," Enroth said. "I know that, and everyone knows that."
Enroth is beyond desperate for a victory. He hasn't won since beating Washington on Nov. 26, 2011. He is 0-10-3 in the 15 months since his win, including 0-2 this season. He has a goals-against average of 3.47 and save percentage of .898 during the winless streak.
"It's been a long time," he said. "I still think I can play in this league. I still think I can play very well. I know I had a couple games at the end of last year that I played very well, so I'm still trusting myself."
The question is whether Ruff will.
"Of course, that's something that is in the back of my head for sure," Enroth said.
He'd historically had success against the Sens. He was 3-0-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .939 save percentage in his first four meetings. Of course, Enroth also had miniscule numbers against Carolina before losing his only other start of the season, 6-3, versus the Hurricanes on Jan. 25.
"We need better goaltending," Ruff said. "There's no secret to that. I think our goalie would admit that. He's got to have a couple of those, so you've got to look to bounce back. I tried to let him bounce back in the game, and I thought the team tried to answer the bell."
The crowd of 18,345 was roaring early as the Sabres fell behind. Tyler Ennis, reunited with wingers Drew Stafford and Marcus Foligno, needed just 21 seconds to answer the Senators' first goal. Ottawa, though, added two more to hit the first intermission with a comfortable advantage.
They built the lead to 4-1 with 8:12 gone in the second.
"Obviously, in this league and this game, you can't expect to win by just playing 20 minutes or in the third period," said defenseman Adam Pardy, who made his Buffalo debut in place of injured Christian Ehrhoff. "Getting behind two goals and then three goals in the second, you just can't do it in this league."
The Sabres scored the final two goals to make the last minute interesting.
Leopold deflected a pass from Jochen Hecht past goaltender Craig Anderson less than a minute after Ottawa made it 4-1.
Pominville needed help from the video judges to cut the Sabres' deficit to one with 6:05 to go. The puck hit his shin guard and went in, causing the referee to waive it off. Review showed no distinct kicking motion.
But it was the last time a puck found the net, adding another loss to Buffalo's 3-6-1 record.
The Sabres, who completed eight games in 13 days, will take today off. They begin another stretch of three games in four nights Thursday when they host the Montreal Canadiens in First Niagara Center.
"Right now we've got to worry about winning a game," Ruff said. "Whatever that takes."

Intentus™ Portable Game Volleyball Standards
Intentus™ game standards are stronger, more stable, and provide better net tension than other portable standards that weigh hundreds of pounds more!
Say goodbye to sagging nets and wobbly game standards. Intentus™ portable game standards are better than other portables for four reasons:
1) The 10'H uprights fit snugly into the base and bolt to it from the bottom, so there's no upright wobble, no cotter pins to come loose, and no sagging nets.
2) Oval-profile galvanized-steel uprights are twice as big and much stronger than the round-profile uprights on other game standards, resisting the bending that contributes to sagging nets.
3) Reinforced nylon QwikFlik™ collars allow for fast adjustments and make net height adjustments just as easily.
4) The base features 6" dia wheels that engage quickly when tipped, so it's easier to move; unique design promotes safety, with no exposed wheels and no sharp corners or edges.
All-metal bases require no sand or water for weight, so you never have to worry about a cracked plastic base making a mess on your gym floor. Oval uprights are bolted into the custom-designed bases with base plates so they will not come out. Built-in 6" dia wheels roll easily over thresholds and firm outdoor terrain. Each standard includes a 150 lb base, a 10'H upright, 2 QwikFlik™ collars, and hardware. New One-Court and Two-Court Sets with nets also include volleyballs at no extra cost! Truck delivery.

Mega-church pastor Creflo Dollar was arrested Friday after allegedly choking and punching his 15-year-old daughter. In his first public appearance sense he was charged with misdemeanor counts of simple battery and cruelty to children, Dollar denied that the claims were true in front of his Atlanta congregation of 30,000 members before beginning his sermon.
He was arrested shortly after 1am when his daughter called the police and told a Fayette County sheriff's deputy that her father charged at her and then began punching and choking her after they got into an argument about her attending a party. His 19-year-old daughter also confirmed that the story was accurate.
Dollar told his congregation, which appeared very supportive of him, that he was wrongly arrested and that emotions got involved when he began to argue with his youngest daughter and the situation escalated from there, before he reassured them that he didn't physically harm his daughter in anyway.
Dollar is one of the most well-known and respected preachers in the metro Atlanta area because of the size of his World Changers Church International and other satellite ministry campuses around the U.S.

Arguably the heart and soul of the 2010 Kansas Jayhawks basketball squad were twins Marcus and Markieff Morris.
While both brothers still own an additional year of eligibility in the NCAA, both have decided to forgo their senior season to enter the 2011 NBA draft.
While Markieff is more of a defensive-minded athlete that could play either the forward or center position in the NBA, Marcus is a hybrid forward that can play both the 3 and 4 position and has the great ability command a game using his big body.
Chad Ford of ESPN has Markieff and Marcus going No. 17 to the New York Knicks and No. 15 to the Indiana Pacers, respectively.
As these two playmakers slide down to the teens in the draft, we ask ourselves: How many players at the forward position will go before the twins from Kansas?
That's our aim with this quick-hit article, so let's get down to business.

PERRY TWP. - Trustees said they want to check the legalities before giving township firefighters the go-ahead to start doing fire safety inspections on businesses in their jurisdiction.
"I think before we do anything, this should go to our legal counsel," Trustee Chairman Cliff Mix said. "I don't think we can jump into that."
Perry Township Firefighter Tony Constantino approached trustees with the idea, explaining the department has three firefighters certified as inspectors, but there's nothing formally set up for them to actually do inspections at commercial establishments.
He said the township would need a resolution in place so the department could do fire inspections and code enforcement.
Mix asked what the cost would be and Constantino said it would cost nothing to set up, but when a new fire code or building code comes out every five to seven years, the township would need to purchase a copy. There would also be miscellaneous training costs for the inspectors.
"What kind of liability is this going to put on the township?" Mix asked.
Constantino said there would be less liability than if they didn't do inspections on businesses and there was a fire. He said they would inspect places like the Salem Golf Club or Circle K South and other businesses
When asked by Trustee Don Rudibaugh who does the inspections now, he said no one except in the case of nursing home facilities, which have to be inspected once a year by the State Fire Marshal's Office.
In another fire department matter, Assistant Chief Phil Panezott asked Rudibaugh if he received a request for new pagers for the fire department, saying the old pagers won't work with the new bandwidth, which is narrower. He said they're still toned out by the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office, which handles dispatching for the township, but then they have to go by their radios because the pagers aren't compatible.
At least three department pagers are compatible, but they would need 21 new pagers. Mix questioned the need since the current system of using the radios after getting toned out seems to be working. Panezott was representing Chief Bruce Whitcher who could not attend the meeting. He didn't have a cost estimate, so Rudibaugh asked to have the chief contact him with the cost.
Panezott said the new radio tower seems to be working, with radio reception better in areas where they were having problems. He said there's still some fine tuning and tweaking to do.
In police business, the trustees approved a $2,000 contract with Creative Microsystems Inc. of Englewood, Ohio at the request of Police Chief Mike Emigh to give the department the ability to continue running license plates and get information on warrants and wanted people through their laptop computers and a station in the office.
Emigh explained that the department had been receiving the access service for free the past two years through grant funding from the Department of Homeland Security, but funding was cut off for 2013, requiring the township to now pick up the tab.
He said he would have preferred they continue to contract with the company the department uses now, Armada iLincs, but the county Sheriff's Office is switching to CMI. They wouldn't be able to communicate through the laptops with the Sheriff's Office without the same provider.
The contract with CMI covers all their computers and tech support for one year.
Emigh said in the two years under the free program, they were able to run more than 115,000 license plates. He said for what they get out of the service, it's worth the $2,000. The new contact begins Jan. 1, with the old one expiring Dec. 31, so they won't lose service.
The trustees also approved moving Patrolman Channing Hank and Patrolman Joshua Hall from training status to probationary status, pending completion of a written test.
In other business, Trustee Don Kendrick, who also serves as the township zoning officer, promised to check on a property to see what's going on there after a resident asked some questions about zoning.
Barb Fink, who lives on Beechwood Road, specifically was asking whether there was any commercial zoning in the area of Beechwood and Goshen Road, saying one house had about 14 vehicles there and it looked like there was a business being operated there.
Both Kendrick and Mix said the first 300 feet of frontage is residential, then the rest is agricultural on both streets. Emigh commented that he also had reason to believe a business was being operated there and that the resident had been working on cars when he lived on another road in the township.
In preparing for the new year, the board approved temporary appropriations of $258,500 to cover the first three months of 2013 and reappointed Doug Sampson to the Zoning Board and Ron Poage to the Board of Zoning Appeals, both for five-year terms.
The trustees will not meet again until they reorganize at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 7. They decided to cancel their second meeting of the month since it would fall on Christmas Eve.

TheAtlanticCities.com: How baseball stadiums affect housing costs; Arlington is one of the least pricey neighborhoods
In honor of this year's baseball season starting Sunday night, TheAtlanticCities.com looked at home prices in neighborhoods near major-league stadiums.
In general, it costs more to live near a ballpark — close enough to hear roar of the crowd or see the glow of lights. The Atlantic Cities found that 20 of 29 major-league stadiums are in neighborhoods that are more expensive than the average for that metropolitan area.
Arlington — home to the Texas Rangers Ballpark — is not one of the 20. It ranked as the fifth least expensive baseball stadium neighborhood. (Sunday night's game is between the Texas Rangers and the Astros in Houston.)
The Atlantic Cities examined asking prices from homes in the last year on Trulia in neighborhoods within one mile or two miles of each stadium (excluding Toronto). It costs the most to live near ballparks in or near big city downtown areas, such as Boston and San Francisco. It's much less expensive in cities, such as Kansas City and Arlington.
Here are two of The Atlantic Cities' charts:

Becky's New CarBy Steven Dietz, directed by Kim Martin. Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life…and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn't dare. Becky's New Car is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken.01/31/2013 - 02/17/2013Pittsburgh Playhouse, 222 Craft Avenue Pittsburgh, PAwebsite | map

One of the best ways a child can learn to cope with their hospitalization is through regular play and medical play. Play is a child's job and it creates a sense of normalcy for a child in an unfamiliar environment. Studies indicate that expressive play activities, combined with verbal and nonverbal licensed creative art therapist, benefit children by helping them understand what is happening to them. It also allows them to express their thoughts and feelings about their experience with hospitalization.
These activities also provide children with the opportunity to gain a greater sense of control over the environment that has been thrust upon them.
Medical play and preparation form an important aspect of the Child Life Program. They allow children to explore the medical equipment and to role-play their experiences at a safe distance. Individual preparation for a specific procedure is an invaluable teaching tool. By demonstrating an upcoming procedure, children have a chance to develop appropriate coping skills for later use.

Life after Life
Oh my, what happens when a novel's lead character dies on the fourth page? Alas, Dr. Fellowes never made it to Ursula's birth (at least not this time around)—he was busy treating a man trampled by a bull.
This novel made many "best book" of the year lists. On a cold winter's night in 1910, a baby girl was born to the Todd family, but alas poor Ursula was born blue. Then she is born again and the family cat, Queenie, smothers her (not necessarily on purpose.) She's born again and drowns while swimming in the sea with her older sister Pamela.
But in between all the births and deaths, (her younger brother Teddy, has his own run-ins with nasty accidents and reincarnation), a lot happens to the Todd family. Hugh, the father, is a banker, and his wife Sylvie, a rather uninvolved mother. In a style and format all her own, Kate Atkinson has reimagined the historical novel.
It's not your typical novel that follows a tight chronological sequence. In fact, the same dates appear again and again: 11 February, 1910; June, 1914; January 1915; June 1918; and 11 November 1918. Imagine my excitement when we finally and unexpectedly hit September 1923?
In-between all these stops and starts a lot happens. The two oldest children Maurice and Pamela go to university, but Ursula, a middle child, has always been the odd one out. Her parents sent her to see a psychiatrist when she was only 10, quite a modern thing to do. And one of Maurice's college buddies—a tall American—raped Ursula when she was only sixteen and ignorant of the ways of sex. This and the resulting pregnancy changed the lead character in many ways.
All the while Atkinson captures the feel of the times. She provides a vivid portrait of the wild and emancipated Aunt Lizzie, a glamorous writer who occasionally takes Ursula or Teddy under her wing, usually for her own selfish reasons. She also shows the freedom the young men have, and conversely, the tight control and low expectations for women even of the upper classes.
Do you know how you feel when reading a novel and something bad happens? Do you sometimes do a quick rewrite in your head: no, don't let that bomb fall over their house, don't let that man hit Ursula, or get away with blindfolding all the typists in training? Well Atkinson does some of those rewrites for you. She writes another version of a scene that incorporates reincarnation in most cases, and suddenly, you see a spunky, knowledgeable Ursula rebelling against society to protect herself.
For a decidedly different historical novel that captures the feel of Britain during and between the world wars, this book is a sure bet. And if you like novels that playfully explore time, also see Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife.

Some cellphone users turned off by new Amber Alert system
February 10, 2013
LOS ANGELES — The next time a child is abducted near you, your cellphone may shriek to life with an alert message....
Patriot, yeah, a tough crowd here indeed. I do want to say thanks your your hard work, diligence and service to our country. I sat on an advisory board several years ago for the county's communication system. This was long before smartphones were invented. One of the suggestions was reverse 911 to inform the folks of important information. It was dismissed by the 911 director after a short discussion. Other ideas to tie the 911 center into local broadcast stations never materialized. It seems many in key positions within the county are stuck in the past. I am quite familiar with IPAWS. However the fragility of local internet has made that a somewhat unreliable tool at times.

This bothers folks? Then they should just turn off their cellphones... and leave them off.

Danner, I agree. Ha. You are right on target, but lets add to the rumor mill with realistic info.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Man, this is a tough crowd. I was simply trying to give you insight that I know as facts. Mass notification is critical. Cell phones are the only way to get info out quickly. Congress mandated it after 911 and it is in place. If alert sounds need to be removed then turn your phone down or on vibrate at nite. Or let your carrier know so it can be discussed and dealt with accordingly. We spent months working with carriers to overcome legal obstacles and industrial proprietary issues. It's a good thing people. I've been a comm and IT engineer all my life. That includes 30 years military and fed govt. i have slept and ate in some nasty places all over the world and tactical comm and critical information always saved our lives. While I'm not a CIO or equivalent, I will take these concerns to the table and try to get it heard. Please offer some positive suggestions on this one. This is a great forum. But sometimes I can't believe the negative posts. Have a great evening.

The only one who studied the usefulness of Amber Alerts says that it's ineffective. This is another feel good measure with little or no practical value. Look at what the LAPD just did when they actually knew the specific vehicle that nutcase Dorner was driving. They shot up the wrong vehicle containing two women and wounded both of them. Can you imagine the "sightings" being called in to police c/o an Amber Alert? Heck, the police would throw the kill switch on the calls.

Hey Patriot, Given the financial status of the county, maybe the most cost effective way to provide information to the masses would be to install alerting equipment in all barber & beauty shops in the county. You would be amazed how fast information would get disseminated then : )

Let's just face it -- Martinsburg is a poorly run, useless, crooked town. I am sure that testing would find sub-level intelligence across-the- board and higher per capita drug & alcohol problems, low values, poor ethical standards, no work ethic, etc. Those in power are there for the power and nothing else, save MAYBE one or two that will always be outnumbered, and so on. An Amber Alert, for example, will only help if people even know what it means!! Or even care. Ignorance, is in itself, a deadly disease -- The ignorant are either going to kill themselves with self-abuse or someone else due to their issues --psychological or physical (alcohol, drugs). For all you 'academics', I am not talking formal education here -- just basic ability to think and learn. Yes, I sincerely, after living in four different states, N, S, E and W, have no doubt that this is right down there in the bottom five cities in America.

We had an Amber Alert no too long ago on our new phones. The noise irritated me. The purpose for it was awesome. The problem with it is that we received NO OTHER INFORMATION - anywhere. Not in the news, not on the local online newspaper, not on the internet in general. Boy? Girl? Young? Teen? Near? Vehicle? Nothing. So -- with only a noise and the words Aber Alert, what's the point?

"...during the derecho last summer, our local OES office didn't do crap about notifying us..."
Given the current technology available within the county, it's pretty hard to do that when all of the local radio stations, NOAA Weather Radio, much of the Internet & the 911 center all went down due to power problems. NOAA weather radio and local radio stations DID send severe weather alerts out prior to the storms hitting. However once the power went out, the ballgame was over.

Personnaly I don't want it on my phone, nor do I want it on my weather Alert Monitor. I want to know about bad weather not anything else. Most folks ignore these alerts anyway. I think my major objection to all of this is the fact that a lot of these abductions are part of a marital/divorce dispute. Its one thing if a kid is abudcted by a stranger, but when its something that needs to be addressed by two adults its another. Selfish? Yeah I guess so. I have a cell phone for emergiences not to be worried by it.

Cynakel, our local OES is so far behind they didn't even have a plan to support the actions and recovery required after the derecho last summer. Again, mass notification is the objective. Today, Berkeley County has no means to do that.

I have first hand knowledge of this and some additional follow on programs to come. First of all, this was a congressional mandate. Not FEMA or fed govt as a singular driver here. Mass notification during any disaster or significant event is the objective. The primary program run by FEMA is called IPAWS. There are sub programs like Amber Alert, etc. major I have to disagree with you this time, during the derecho last summer, our local OES office didn't do crap about notifying us. So I fully support this initiative. It's a partnership between all the cell phone carriers, FEMA, DHS and others. It is still being tweaked, so the sound alerts can be deleted and perhaps just a simple text message will do. If you have a suggestion contact FEMA or your cell phone carrier and offer up some valuable suggestions. Again, I like receiving text messages on what is going on. The 911 event proved we needed something.

Blind faith can be practiced by anyone including atheists. Blind faith occurs when someone puts their faith into something without any evidence.
Atheists have blind faith in naturalism, abiogenesis and the multiverse as well as several other hypothesizes which are evidenceless.

Although guidelines suggest physicians should not treat themselves, the self-prescription of medications is common.1 Self-prescription among physicians in training is of particular concern, given their limited clinical experience and high levels of work stress.2,3 In the only large multicenter study conducted to date, to our knowledge, Christie et al4 found that self-prescribing is widespread, with 52% of residents self-prescribing medications during their training. Importantly, the most common sources of self-prescribed medications were sample cabinets (42%) and pharmaceutical representatives (11%). In the 13 years since the publication of this study there has been substantial change in the relationship between residency programs and pharmaceutical companies. Thus, it is important to reassess the rates of self-prescription among physicians in training.
Interns entering internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, emergency medicine, and psychiatry residency programs during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 academic years at 16 US medical centers were invited to take part in the study before the start of the academic year. Interns completed online surveys at 3-month intervals throughout internship year assessing whether prescription medications were used, the class of medications used, and how they were obtained. To allow a direct comparison to previous results, we used the item language developed by Christie et al.4 All surveys were conducted through a secure Web site designed to maintain confidentiality, with subjects identified only by numbers.
Of 2660 subjects, 1555 (58.5%) agreed to take part in the study. Of these 1555 interns, 1267 (81.5%) completed at least 1 follow-up survey during internship year, 140 (11%) of whom reported using at least 1 prescription medication during internship year. Five interns received medications from multiple sources. Of 145 medications, 73 (50.3%) and 35 (24.1%) were obtained through a personal physician or colleague, respectively, and 11 (7.6%) were self-prescribed. Of the self-prescribed medications, only 2 (18%) were obtained from a sample cabinet. No intern reported obtaining a medication from a pharmaceutical representative. There were no significant differences in age, sex, marital status, specialty, or institution among interns who used prescription medications or self-prescribed medications compared with interns who did not use or self-prescribed medications. The Table reports self-prescription rates among the most common classes of medications.
Our findings suggest that a small proportion of interns use prescription medications during internship, and a small fraction of interns who used medications, self-prescribed them. Encouragingly, the majority of physicians in training are receiving medications through a personal physician or colleague. These findings are in stark contrast to the previously largest study of self-prescribing practices among medical trainees, conducted in 1998, that reported that a majority of medical residents self-prescribed medications.4 Furthermore, while the earlier study found that sample closets and pharmaceutical representatives were common sources of medications, these sources were rarely used by the subjects in our study. These results suggest that the rate of self-medication has decreased substantially among residents over the past 13 years and that this decrease is largely explained by a decreased use of medications obtained directly from pharmaceutical companies. The increased awareness of industry influence on medical practice and the reduced interaction between medical trainees and pharmaceutical companies may have played a role in this shift. Other changes in graduate medical education, such as work hour reform, may have created increased time for physicians in training to attend regular clinic appointments.
In addition to the graduate medical education changes that have taken place in the years between the study by Christie et al4 and our study, there are other differences between the studies that may have contributed to differing results. First, the study by Christie et al included first-, second-, and third-year residents, while our study only included first-year residents. Compared with more advanced residents, the intern subjects in the study by Christie et al reported slightly lower rates of medication use (69%) and self-prescribing behavior (39%). However, the rates among interns in the study by Christie et al are still dramatically higher than the rates reported by interns in our study. Second, while the present study included residents from multiple specialties, Christie et al included only internal medicine residents. We do not find a significant difference in the rates of medication use or self-prescription between internal medicine and non–internal medicine subjects in our study, suggesting that the inclusion of multiple specialties did not account for the differing results. Finally, while the questions administered in the 2 studies were similar, studies differed in how self-report questionnaires were completed (online vs postal mail). However, subjects in the present study have reported high levels of potentially sensitive information (eg, depression, suicidality, medical errors), indicating that it is unlikely that interns were inhibited from admitting self-prescribing behavior through our survey format.5,6
This study suggests that there has been a dramatic shift among physicians in training away from self-prescription and use of medications from sample cabinets and pharmaceutical representatives. Further research should assess if this shift persists as physicians move out of the training environment and into independent practice, where a physician's personal use of sample medications is common7 and interactions between physicians and pharmaceutical representatives are frequent.8

Yes, there's a tradition of success. Yes, there's 4 Cups in the last 15 years. However, there's just as many first/second round exits and early playoff exits. Other than consistently making the playoffs - what sets Detroit apart as a choice for someone's career? Nothing tangible.
Sure, there are the intangibles - the history, Original Six, 11 Cups, Gordie Howe, etc.. but those have very little to do a person's day-to-day working life or home life.
I was just pondering all this.. what say you?
Ryan Suter turned down Hockeytown for a bunch of lakes.He turned down the Red Wings
. Worse of all, he turned down Mike Ilitch and $90 million.
And few can turn down Mr. Ilitch. Pudge Rodriguez couldn't do it. Neither could Prince Fielder or Chris Chelios and countless other players that I can't remember right now.
Submitted for your approval: Four years ago a general manager of an NHL hockey team stops at a gas station and is interrupted by a phone call informing him that one of the top players in the league is willing to sign a one-year deal with his team. The general manager cannot believe his good fortune.
Fast forward four years later, the same general manger is in an airplane flying to Wisconsin with the hope of convincing a top player to sign a multiyear, mega-million-dollar deal with his team.

Thinking big and then taking dead aim at success.
It's the approach that's helped Dantez Bennamon reel in his most recent achievements, Goose Creek High School football coach and athletic director Chuck Reedy said.
Last week, the Gators' standout quarterback and star point guard was recognized by the Carolina Panthers Community Captain program and, additionally, was tabbed one of the top five senior basketball players in the state for the upcoming season.
"Dantez truly is representative of the term student-athlete," Reedy said. "He carries the highest GPA on our football team and embodies all the qualities that coaches look for in their athletes."
Bennamon is a natural leader and intense competitor. Those qualities meshed with a willingness to prepare for whatever is ahead makes Bennamon the frontrunner he is.
"The fact that he is 21-0 as our starting quarterback speaks volumes about him and his leadership skills," Reedy said.
Bennamon has offers from Presbyterian College for football and others are recruiting him too.
He entered Friday's Wando game with 872 yards rushing and 540 yards passing with a total of 10 touchdowns. He then helped lead the Gators to a victory over the Warriors, their 35th straight dating back to 2011.
Bennamon was one of 10 high school student-athletes from either South Carolina or North Carolina recognized by the Panthers. Community involvement also played a part in the honor for Bennamon. He has volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House in Charleston.
In addition to being recognized at the Panthers' home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Thursday, Bennamon will receive an authentic and personalized Carolina Panthers game ball.
"Our hope is that the players will remain positive role models as they continue to succeed on the football field and as individuals," said Riley Fields, Carolina Panthers Director of Community Relations. "We are hoping to lay the foundation of high expectations for these young men and women. They have a tremendous opportunity to utilize sports to accomplish great things for themselves, and more importantly, to impact others through their leadership and service."
Bennamon's best sport could actually be basketball. He's played substantial minutes on the hardwood since his freshman season and guided the Gators into the Class AAAA championship game last winter.
He averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.6 steals. Over the summer, he served as an instructor at the GCHS youth basketball camp.
"He's a special kid," Gators basketball coach Blake Hall said. "You don't really have enough kids like him around any more. He's got a very professional demeanor in the classroom, on the football field and basketball court. He takes care of his business."

I had a conversation over the weekend with a friend of mine who likes to keep a little bit of cash at home in the event of a zombie apocalypse. As I reminded him that zombies don't take US dollars, I thought a little to how we like to keep some cash on hand at home too. My friend was talking a thousand dollars or two, we keep maybe a hundred bucks. While he was trying to up his chances of survival, we do it to avoid an unnecessary trip to the ATM if we find our wallet or purse a little light one day.
That led me to wonder where the best places to hide you rmoney at home was and fortunately the web did not disappoint.
First, there's is no limit to human ingenuity. Just spend a few minutes looking through the slideshow WalletPop put together on the craziest places people hide their money [3] and you'll see things like inside a fake i-beam, the cookie jar, their attic, a fake roll of toilet paper, under the litter box, mason jar buried in the garden, and my favorite, an empty can hidden in the pantry. Hopefully all those people can get to their cash when the zombies start rolling in.
Now that you have a list of potential places, you need a strategy. Putting all of your cash in one secret spot works as long as the thief doesn't find it. If they find it, then they have all of your money. Why not spread your loot over several secret hiding spots? If a thief is short on time and starts flipping over everything, they may quit after finding one stash. Thieves don't have a ton of time so giving them a little offering like that may stop them from finding all the pieces.
Next, remember why you're keeping the money at home and be smart about how much. We want to avoid the ATM so we keep less than $100 at home. We could keep $1,000 but that would be way more than we need, plus it's interest we're not earning by not having it in a savings account. So keep the amount logical, how much cash do you really need at home? Probably not as much as you think. Remember that in the event of a fire, you don't want to feel compelled to save your money.
I feel obligated to point out this story [4] of a woman throwing away a mattress that, unknown to her, held a million dollars of her mother's savings. Saving money is good, saving a million dollars is great, but saving it in your mattress is a horrible idea.
Lastly, don't be so creative that you forget where you hid it. 🙂

Buffalo is a city of nationwide distinction.
It's part of the history of the Erie Canal. Some of the greatest creations of nationally known architect Frank Lloyd Wright are located here. And it is has strong connections to the Underground Railroad, the abolition of slavery and civil rights movements.
But Buffalo recently earned another national distinction, and it's nothing to be proud of.
Almost half of Buffalo's children live in impoverished households, according to a report issued this week by the National Center for Children Living in Poverty.
The report, which was based on one-year census data for 2011, ranked 25 cities with populations of more than 250,000 people with the highest percentages of children living in poverty.
Buffalo came in third with 46.8 percent. The two cities that topped the list are the Rust Belt communities of Detroit with 57.3 and Cleveland with 53.9.
And that's no coincidence, researchers said.
Declining populations, the exodus or closure of large-scale industrial companies and high unemployment rates all correspond directly with poverty rates.
"It's kind of a pattern we see in the data ... top cities that have this huge decline in well-paying jobs in the manufacturing industries, which used to be so strong in these cities," said Curtis Skinner, director of family economic security at the National Center.
"In cities like Buffalo, you also have high unemployment rates," he added. "Unemployment rates move right with poverty rates."
Poverty issues go beyond income, and poor children lag behind their peers in many ways, experts said.
For instance, they are less healthy, trail in emotional and intellectual development and are less likely to graduate from high school, according the Children's Defense Fund website.
Statistics provided by the Partnership for the Public Good indicate that of the Erie County residents receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, 78 percent were in Buffalo. And more than 77 percent of Buffalo Public Schools children qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The partnership has issued various studies and policy briefs on the issue, including a report on Buffalo's low-income neighborhoods, one that focused on concentrated poverty and public education and another that addressed poverty-level work.
Officials there say growth in low-wage jobs is the biggest structural problem related to poverty.
"We have 120,000 jobs in this region that pay below the poverty level, and those jobs are not going away," said Lou Jean Fleron, co-director of the Partnership.
"How long can people who can't afford a car be willing to take a bus at 4 o'clock in the morning and go to a job that pays them something that still leaves them eligible for food stamps?" she said.
The numbers put out by the National Center are "very consistent with what we're seeing in Head Start," said L. Nathan Hare, chief executive officer of the Community Action Organization of Erie County.
CAO runs 15 Head Start and Early Head Start programs throughout the county for children in families below the federal poverty level. Services include housing, employment, mental health, family development, chemical dependency, health and youth and senior services.
One way to combat poverty is to focus on single mothers – who often are the heads of impoverished households – and their relationships with the fathers of their children, Hare said.
"This is going to sound harsh, but I believe ... men should be accountably pulled into the life system of their kids, independent of whether or not the woman and you still get along," he said.
If the father is involved in the child's life every day and shares some of the burden, the mother may be able to count on him for other responsibilities, like providing day care and showing up at school to talk to teachers, if necessary, Hare said.
"If he's in the game, she doesn't have to keep leaving work" to take care of those things, he said. "That means she can take on jobs that require more responsibility and pay more. That gives her a much more solid foundation for her to build her economic structure around."

I want to share with you some of the latest forecast model guidance for tonight and tomorrow's winter event in Houston.
The graphics below, for the GFS model and NAM model, show the accumulations for ice pellets (sleet), freezing rain, rain and snow for now through Friday.
Let's start with the GFS, which is a global model so it has lower resolution than the NAM model:
As you can see, if you click on the graphic to enlarge it, most of the metro area is forecast to receive sleet, areas near the coast are likely to see freezing rain, and areas to the north-northeast of metro Houston may see some snowfall.
Now let's look at the NAM model, which is run just for North America, so it has a higher resolution:
As we look at this graphic it tells us several things. First of all, like the GFS model it shows much of the Houston region seeing sleet. In addition the freezing rain is clustered along the coast, while the snow is well to the north-northeast of Houston.
This represents pretty darn good consistency, which means we can begin to have some confidence in this winter event forecast. This remains, of course, a tricky forecast, as the timing of the cold air and atmospheric moisture must still line up just right to see freezing precipitation.
But given the relative consistency of the forecast models it's a pretty safe bet tomorrow will be messy on the roads in at least parts of the metro region.
Plan accordingly.

MARTINSBURG - Locked in a mano-a-mano battle with Hedgesville at the half, Martinsburg relied on a little bit of its opponents play to turn the tide.
The Bulldogs used a 10-0 run to start the half and went on to knock off the rival Eagles 66-52 Saturday afternoon in front of a raucous, sellout crowd at the Fieldhouse.
It did so, Martinsburg's David Long said, by doing what Hedgesville does.

"Our coaches had told us we need to do the little things, that the little things win games like this," Long said. "That's the way they play. They have a good team and (Hedgesville coach) Kelly Church does a great job of getting them to do things like boxing out, setting screens, playing good defense. Basically, they do the dirty work that not a lot of players do, and that's what we had to do."
The Bulldogs did that and a whole lot more at the outset of the second half, when the score was knotted at 23.
Martinsburg's Donte' Grantham started the quick eruption with a basket and then stole the pass and dished off an assist to a cutting Jalen Lewis for an easy basket. Another turnover led to a Jordan Robinson 3-pointer and just 46 seconds into the second half Martinsburg (15-2) had a 30-23 lead. Hedgesville had yet to get over halfcourt.

Martinsburg's Donte'?Grantham, left, flips a no-look pass behind Hedgesville's C.J. Burks to teammate Jalen Lewis during the third quarter of their game Saturday in Martinsburg. Below, the Eagles' Chris Shields slips past the?Bulldogs' Jason Hill in the second quarter.
The Eagles finally did get the ball over halfcourt but another turnover led to a Denzel Cole 3 and before Hedgesville (12-3) had attempted a second half shot, Martinsburg had a 33-23 lead.
"They came out with a lot of intensity, and we knew they would," Church said. "If you asked me what I would do different, I'd probably say make a couple more baskets and commit a few less turnovers. That was a big key. If you take out the first two minutes of the second half, and looked at everything else, I bet we came close to matching them possession for possession. But you can't take away that two-minute stretch and that was a big difference in the game."
"Our pressure defense did that," Martinsburg coach Dave Rogers said. "We came out with better pressure in the second half, especially early. I don't think we came out with very good pressure early in the game and that is a credit to Hedgesville. They shot the ball real well, better than they did the first time we played. They got some big shots."
Yet not during the Bulldogs' quick start to the second half. They didn't take any.
"They came out with more intensity, they scored quick," Hedgesville's Chris Shields said. "We fought back and didn't quit. I thought today that we played well as a team."
That said, Hedgesville did not go away. Martinsburg just had an answer every time the Eagles got close.
A 7-1 Eagles run cut Martinsburg's lead to 34-30, but the Bulldogs answered that with 7-0 run, including another 3 by Robinson and a tip in by Grantham, which he followed with a steal and a slam dunk.
At that point, Martinsburg was satisfied to trade 2- pointers for Hedgesville 3s. Juwan Powell, who had five 3s and 20 points for the Eagles, had two and C.J. Burks another to cut to trim the Eagles deficit to six before Martinsburg's Eugene German had a three-point play to stretch the lead to nine, 48-39, at the end of the third.
"We told our kids at the end of the third that we didn't need to cut it to four or five, let's just play even with them for the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, let's make it a four-minute game, and see what happens," Church said.
What happened was Powell had a hot hand with five points on a 7-2 run to start the fourth, making it 50-46.
After a Rahsaan Shanton basket made it 52-48, Long started a 12-0, foul-shot-induced run to stretch the lead to 14. He also had another layup on the run off a feed from Grantham.
The Bulldogs salted away the win by hitting their last eight free throws and 10 of 13 in the final 3:48.
"Any time you get a win over a sectional rival it's a good win," Rogers said. "I thought that Jordan (Robinson) hit some big shots for us. Their gameplan was to take Jalen Lewis out of the game and while he didn't do a lot of scoring, he did have six assists and David Long really gave us a spark."
"That's my job, to spark this team when I come in," Long said. "I told Buddha (Grantham) and Jalen to have big games and not worry about it, I would give them that spark when I was in there. My job isn't to score. It's to give the team a spark."
Long finished with nine points, six rebounds and didn't commit a turnover. In fact, Martinsburg only had five in the game as a team.
Grantham led the way with 20 points, along with four rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Robinson added 11.
In addition to Powell, Shields had nine points and seven rebounds. He did not score in the second half.
"Anybody would have a hard time arguing that (Martinsburg) is not the best team in the state," Church said.
"We don't believe in moral victories, but it's a four-point game with four minutes to play. We were right there. It's obvious we have to do all the little things right to beat a team like that."
It doesn't get any easier for Hedgesville, which now faces section rival Washington Tuesday at the Miller Center. Martinsburg, meanwhile, is 6-0 against section rivals this season.
"I would hope we will be (the No. 1 seed)," Rogers said. "I guess it will all come down to (pre-sectional) voting, and how (coaches) feel about us in the other side of the region."

Hi i want to now which novel tickels your fancy and which is the most non-tickeling fancy novel.
what's yours? manga novel... I read a few but usually they are converted from manga in the first place
O genki desu ka?
what's yours? manga novel... I read a few but usually they are converted from manga in the first place O genki desu ka?
my fav novel is immortal rain 6 it rocs.
The only manga novel that I've read would be Vampire Hunter D. It was great. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
but i would say....eather bleach or deathnote."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
deathnote is good as a manga novel.. reading the manga itself already contains sooo many words O genki desu ka?
hey hiya doin?after reading deathnote i will not even watch th cartoon i mean who would want to its all in the readingdamn it all to hell!!!
I happened to discover Death Note by mistake really...but I'm glad I found it because I have absolutely fallen in love with it! After I started reading it I went to Amazon.com and bought the DVDs...I think watching it brings it to life in a whole other level. It brings the plot, and characters alive! That and I just wanted to see how Light would be brought to life through the cartoon! You really should watch the cartoon! Its just like any other novel or story that is brought to the "big screen".
hey hiya doin?i think that Psychic Academy and Inuyasha go neck to neck with me and te on that i absolutely hate is FLCL god!! that show jsut sucked BIGGG TIME!!!!! damn it all to hell!!!
Naruto and Hellsing. Psychic Acadamy doesn't tickle my fancy.
ANGEL XIIII love RE: Play It's awesome! Also Princess Ai is good I got all three ^^
i think that all the answers are cool. ^_^
Ive jsut started to read the Death Note Manga after watching it for about 2 or 3 weeks on Adult Swim, i absolutely love it. ive also Read Ranma 1/2 before which is kind of a martial arts/romance type manga but it was still ok. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
right now I just started reading Tetragrammaton Labyrinth.Im only on the second book, but so far it's great., But its a little gorey.
NeAr2.0is it good? I really want to read it but havent got achance. I love gore
NeAr2.0i dont know because i dont read the novels i read manga and if thats what you mean by novels then i missunderstood. I love anime and manga my favorite anime/manga is deathnote
Naruto Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow.
Eureka 7 cause it has great story and the ending is good but the anime is better
Rurouni Kenshin... I have the 3 big manga volumes and it is a great story & the art is well done.I also bought the novel "Voyage to the Moon world" today and plan on reading it real soon.I just like these kinds of stories...both manga & anime... anything samurai or ninja actually. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
My fav is definaitely Hellsing; D Nangel seems pretty good (I've only read the first one though), and I want to read the NGE mangas (I've watched the entire series and loved it with the exception of the last two episodes...) In life theres no such thing as black and white its all grey.
whats nge? life sucks GET OVER IT
Neon Genesis Evangelion, if you want a over simplification it's about giant robots fighting monsters called angels. it is an anime series, 2 movies, and there is a reboot of the series that will be in theators this summer. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
Right now my fav would have to be xxxHolic
Trigun beats Vampire Hunter D"Lord please forgive us for the truspasses that we are about to commit!!" - Dead Leaves, #777
can't sayi love all the manga i read ^_^
either I love reading manga and anyone I come across I enjoy them all
Berserk = Epicness Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo = Yuck... =( (Sorry, I just dont like it, one of the few I really dont like)
well i think the awesomess manga novel i have is either hellsing 8 or 9. i love the fight between anderson and alucard and how they finally reveal alucard's origin. i also like how in 9 it has 2 awesome fights starting walter v alucard and the captain v seras. the captain is kind of funny when he shows integra the way to the major by tapping the sign.
I would go with Fairy Tale , 666 Satan aka O-Parts hunter , Ghost in the shell , Bezerk.most Manga's have something cool about them so there arent any I dont like each one has something about them.
Some of the best are Bleach, Tsubasa, D.Gray-Man, Hana-Kimi and Bakuman.

Despite their distance, both had made efforts to ensure the relationship was still going strong. In October, Vaughn, 36, threatened to sue several tabloid newspapers that alleged he was seen kissing a mystery blonde and had ended his relationship with Aniston, 37. The actress also shot down rumors of a rift on Oct. 11 when she told Oprah Winfrey that the two were still together.
Aniston visited Vaughn in London in late October after spending nearly a month apart. The two took in the London sights and caught a matinee showing of the musical Wicked. The actress returned to L.A. a few days later.
The couple began dating in the summer of 2005 while working on The Break-Up in Chicago. "She's awesome," Vaughn told PEOPLE that June. "She has just a wonderful warmth and likeability about her."
Rumors of a romance began to swirl almost immediately when they started filming – especially after the costars appeared touchy-feely at the film's wrap party last year – but both insisted they were just friends.
Aniston told Vanity Fair, "I adore Vince Vaughn, but I'm not going out with Vince Vaughn." Vaughn told Katie Couric on the Today show at the time, "(Jen's) been great, and we've been having a great time shooting the movie. But that's really been the extent of it."
But by that fall they were back in Chicago, near Vaughn's Lake Forest hometown, where they were spotted kissing and cuddling at various bars and restaurants – and even having lunch with his mother, Sharon, and stepfather.
Though they never publicly discussed their romance, the couple were soon deflecting wedding rumors. In April, Aniston called in to The Oprah Winfrey Show to deny a tabloid report that Winfrey was planning an $8 million wedding for her and Vaughn.
"(The rumors) are so unbelievable," Aniston told Winfrey. "It sounds like you're giving me Santa Barbara." Asked if she had anything to announce, Aniston said, "No wedding, no moves, no, no."
A few weeks later, Vaughn himself joked to Winfrey, "I'm expecting a pretty good band for $8 million." He also told the talk-show host, "Jennifer's great. She's one of my favorite people. ... She's just really smart and funny and easy to be with – very considerate. She's great."
This past summer, the couple traveled to The Break-Up premieres all over the world, and, although they avoided being photographed together on the red carpet, were seen taking a romantic boat ride in Paris, catching a Cubs game in Chicago and visiting an aquarium in Sydney.
"Vince and Jennifer are the real thing," a Vaughn friend told PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere of The Break Up in May. "They're both in a really great place."
Aniston herself said on the red carpet that night, "I'm just happy. There's no reason to be anything else, is there?"
But in August, Aniston told PEOPLE that published reports that the couple were engaged were "insane" and that "people are getting fed a lot of bull."
After doing a well-received stint in the 6th Annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway benefit in October, Aniston has been back in L.A. Vaughn will be shooting Fred Claus in London through this month.

Name given to men/boys of hispanic or latin descent. Usually sporty and good fighters (2000 major boxers with name, Javier), but on the other hand are very kind and nice to women. Usually get a lot of girls, and fight a lot of boys, but still have lots of friends, and are more likely to be a person who you'll remember from multiple child-hood memories. But in conclusion, to be a "Javier" you have to be a leader, and ignore people who will get you nowhere.
Friend: Aye, Javier you see those mujeres over there
Javier: Ese, I hit that last week
Friend: Orale, Ese, hook me up vato

A guy, who is very friendly and very sweet. He may look like an angle but he flirts like the devil. He remembers everything and can read the people he cares about like a book. He'll be your best friend, hold you close and tell you it'll be okay if you need him to. He is an amazing guy so if your with him, keep him and never let him go, because.... well you'll find out if you screw up.

A very attractive male in that is Hard working, loving and respectful. He is a player, but thats because he is marvelous in bed!. He has a major love for his mother and no one matters to him more than her to him. She is his everything and always will be. A javier is scared to fall for a certain Maria, but that maria has already fallen head over heals for him. She loves him with all her heart and that is because he has helped her become this better person that no one else could ever do. He is the only one that passes through her mind, and He is all that she wants. A javier has a problem with trust, but He has nothing to worry about... that maria is reall....! she is all yours
June 5, 2009 was the day that Javier Changed my life. !
dodane przez BellaBuzz październik 12, 2010
Highly multidimensional guy with many facets. He can be a tough-headed beast doing reps on the bars one second, and then make a girl feel like a princess the next. A little flirty, but always honest, and a great deal stronger than he believes. He may not always see the good in himself, yet everyone else can see it clearly. Some days he deserves a good slap upside the back of his head, but usually, all he needs is a hug. A Javier is a lot of fun and easy to get along with, though he is very set in his beliefs where it counts. Half devil, half angel, and completely amazing.
Javier is a good guy that you don't wanna mess with, EVER. Get to know him, and you'll either love him with all your heart, or else you'll run screaming for the hills... It all depends on your own assholery.
