Anime characters that would make the best allies in a zombie apocalypse
This thread was pretty much exactly what it says on the can- the best anime characters to be stuck in a zombie apocalypse with. Just to keep things interesting, character that are so powerful that zombies would be no threat to them whatsoever will not be allowed. Also, try to avoid characters that have faced zombies before.
Anyway, without further ado.
Mai Kawasumi (Kanon):
All of the sword skill of Saeko Busujima of Highschool of the Dead, without the liabilities of Saeko's low mental health. Mai would no doubt prove a valuable ally, not only for her skill with the sword, but also the
Spoiler for possible Kanon spoilers:
Canaan (Self-titled series)
Admittedly Canaan might be borderline of being to powerful, with he superhuman speed and synesthesia that allows her to literally read enemies emotions (though this would be of little help in against zombies). But she can still be wounded by conventional means (i.e. bullets etc) so I'll allow her.
Anyway, Canaan is an expert shot with both her pistols and her sniper rifle and, if I gain her trust, she could provide me with a weapon- as she states she doesn't like automatics, likely that AK she keeps in her apartment. Another great thing about Canaan is that unlike so other "girls with guns" i.e. Revy from Black Lagoon, she wouldn't kill me on sight!
May add more later, for now, lets see yours.
As for the girls
I'd choose Inner Moka from Rosario and Vampire. The girl's strong and fierce. No doubt that the zombies would run away the moment they see her.
Revy from Black Lagoon is my other option as well. She's awesome with her guns.
As for the guys
I'd pick Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji. This gorgeous demon can eliminate an entire army of zombies. They'd take one look at him and run away in a blink of an eye. :D After he fights, he'll make me a nice cup of tea. :)
If the characters of my animes would ever faced zombies, I'll choose :
Negi Springfield, Asuna Kagurazaka and Setsuna Sakurazaki from Negima!
Ayumu Aikawa from Is This A Zombie ?
Kinji Toyama and Aria H. Kanzaki from Aria the Scarlet Ammo
Fear Cubrick from C3
The Oda clan from The Ambition of Oda Nobuna
The Unit 1 cast from Psycho-Pass
Yeah, Mai's a very good pick, and pretty much fits your conditions perfectly.
I'd probably go with Spike Spiegel for the complimentary gunman of my Zombie Survival Team.
Goku from Dragonball Z.
It's practically cheating but hey, at least I have a much higher chance of survival...
Shit. Didn't read the OP properly...
Hero Emiya from Fate/Stay Night
Teana Lanster from MSLN:
Think up of plans to do
However, then I thought about how Goku might quickly eat up what's left of the world's food supply. :heh:
Whoops. I read it the other way around. Will fix, currently theseare just the OP immortal choices:
<3 You started a thread with a pic of Mai. But she's bascially god mode, so let's talk about other options.
Her much less intresting Key counterpart, Kanade is also a good example, since as that show suggests, is even more OP, and might be like the Terminator. Most regular attacks, such as bullets, bounce off her and she seems to be able to heal any injury. In addition, since she can casually come back from being thrown into molten lava, I think that's a pretty easy shoo-in.
And of course, can't mention Kanade without Yuki Nagato, who can seemingly do anything.
We also have Gilgamesh from the Fate series who could clear the world of such scum, and Bah-serker from Fate/Stay Night. His insane regenerative power ensures that the endless hordes of relatively weak zombies cannot stop him.
Of course, Homura would be an easy pick since...
Spoiler for Madoka:
The cast of Nanoha would be able to rid entire star systems of Zombies. Nanoha being the best eqipped, since her defense is stupidly overpowered, and her Starlight Breaker gets stronger over time. Though Signum's not be up to luster lately. :p With special mention to Fate, since she seems to be invincible while singing.
Spoiler for PMMM spoilers:
== Anyhow, for more mortal choices:
Tomoyo Sakagami-- Although she's most likely not mortal in my heart, we've never seen Tomoyo tank a hit before, so I assume that she would not want to get hit. For the most part she works as a very fast attacker that is meant to draw the attention while picking them off. She could use some AOE damage from Kotomi's violin though. =p
Kitsurugu Emiya -- Same concept, though different type of way to seemingly get a speed boost. There's also his rival Kirei Kotomine, but given that he's just as likely to slice me apart with his knives, fuck no.
Char Aznable-- He manages to outwit a mobile suit ON FOOT and has survived numerous things that would have killed anything else. Furthermore, he may paint a mobile suit red, and recieve a 3x speed bonus. Just don't distract him with teenage girls.
Akagi-- Although Zombies are not afraid of mind games, he is effectively the anime's version of Chuck Norris. He would let the zombies bite them and for some reason find someone to make himself immune to it while casually beating someone in Mahjong. Barring supernatural feats, Akagi's extreme ability to plan ahead makes him an invaluable asset.
Shizuo Heiwajima (?)-- I place a question mark since he might cause too much collaterial damage.
Rei Ayanami-- Has hidden abilities, a sometimes functioning mecha, and...
Suzumiya Haruhi.
One snap of the fingers. The zombies are gone. Of course, that's presuming her awareness of her powers. :heh:
OK OK. If the zombies piss her off - and likely they will -- she'll inadvertently wipe 'em out. Even then, she'll make the zombie encounters fun, by being initially very enthusiastic about the whole zombie thing.
Who am I kidding? With Haruhi - I'm a dead man.
So y'know what?
Nagato Yuki.
Count on her to hold off the zombies... until Haruhi does wipe 'em out. :heh:
The whole SSS crew (Angel Beats) - incl. Kanade
They already fought some zombie-like things -- in whatever afterlife they're in.
Rias Gremory (High School DXD)
Chances are -- she'd be in command of the zombies. Maybe, with these devil powers of hers. I could be wrong here.
The Strike Witches
Magic. Girls flying. So guess what? Up in the air - the zombies can get them and can easily pick off the zombies.
Need an airbase? Well, I haven't watched Girls n Panzer yet to see if they're reliable on the ground. Otherwise, have everyone else listed guarding the base.
I see a lot of us read the original post wrong. :heh:
Poor Yuno Gasai is already forgotten but you know even without the superpowers she'd outlast all the people.
Just get me Black Widow (anime version) & Blade (anime version) and Ill be just fine. Mainly, Blade for the melee and Black Widow for the firepower (and boobs too ^^).
Belldandy she will care the undead
Haruhi and Asahina... A Goddess and Hot babe Time traveler.
Lets see...
Sagara Sousuke FMP: too many guns, munitions, training, and a giant mecha doesn't hurt either...
Kenshin: They call him The Manslayer for a reason you know.
Shiki Kara No Kyoukai: That Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is an auto-win against ANYTHING.
Shizuo Durarara: Super strength come in mighty handy in a zombie apocalypse.
Medaka Medaka's Box: Just too hax
Yuki Nagato: Ditto
Spike Speigel: Too awesome for the zombies to handle.
and lastly..
Koko and her HCLI crew Jormungand: Guns. Guns. Guns. BOOM!
Revy from Black Lagoon. She know how to use guns and not afraid to shoot anything that moves.
Medaka Kurokami as she know how to escape and hide from the zombies, at least what I think of her.
Let's entertain the thought. No Goku or other supernaturally OP charas right?
Let's try to take characters from series that have more 'realistic' sets of characters...
How about this guy:
Pair him up with Gasai Yuno will make your Zombie Apocalypse life never boring to say the least (until they start killing each other, or yourself :heh: ).

A number of leaked images appear to show that Siri will be able to purchase movie tickets in iOS 6.1 and according to those developers who are beta testing the latest build of Apple's mobile OS, the feature works in conjunction with Fandango...

I remember this! It was hilarious! Siri's obsessive about Stallions. Even the voice of the assistant is more human-like in Google Now.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's hard to imagine that there was a point when the Street was wondering whether Brocade ( BRCD) had a pulse.Not only had the company floundered in the IT enterprise market where it competes with rivals like Cisco ( CSCO) and Juniper ( JNPR), but Brocade, which just installed a new CEO, couldn't convince investors that operational changes would make a difference. On Tuesday, all of that was forgotten. Helped by efficient cost controls, Brocade surprised the Street with a better-than-expected profit of $118.7 million. Excluding one-time items such as a legal settlement worth $77 million, the company earned 19 cents per share, beating last year's EPS by 36%. The stock responded by jumping more than 16%. As we've seen from other hardware vendors, which have suffered due to weak IT spending, there now appears to be a meaningful recovery in enterprise capital expenditures. Companies no longer seem interested in starving themselves. In the case of Brocade, it is clear that demand in the storage market is recovering faster than the company had predicted, which supports my recent confidence in storage giant NetApp ( NTAP). What's impressive about Brocade, though, is that the company's product portfolio appears strong across all areas of its business. And it's also encouraging that these products are driving industry transformation in emerging areas of growth including virtualized data center, cloud computing, and software-defined networking (SDN). Cisco, via its recent acquisitions, has been trying to build its capabilities in SDN I like Brocade's prospects. But I'm not going to pretend that this is a flawless company. The revenue situation hasn't been that impressive. I think it's a mistake, though, to judge Brocade solely on this basis. It's a popular bear argument. But this is a company that has produced solid free cash flow for eight consecutive years and strong margins. That the company continues to grow market share in its core storage area network, or SAN, business is also an indication that its strong technology is still highly regarded. To that end, while Brocade may be a tough matchup for, say, Cisco, Brocade is clearly outperforming Dell ( DELL) and Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ). This is even though Brocade reported a 3% decline in revenue, much of which was due to lower-than-expected sales to the U.S. federal government. Even so, the Street now seems pleased with the company's new direction and that management has shown that it can do more with less.

A great experience, even better if you manage to get a good group to shoot with, which we did. A big shout out to the 12pm group on Tuesday 23 April if you are reading this!!! Use the taxi company Celeritas recommend and take some water as you may need it after 1.5 hours! Celeritas also have small lockers if you need them, and provide protective ear wear and glasses (that go over normal specs if you need them to).
My husband and I went for the Gamer package and I was really nervous beforehand (almost to the point of bottling it), but was quickly put at ease, the location is interesting (you do start to wonder where the taxi driver is taking you!), but this is one professional outfit. The guns are heavy though after a while, so a visit to one of the thermal baths or your hotel sauna afterwards is a top tip. Loved it and will definitely be back! Thanks Peter!

Seared Ahi Marinade
Recipe by kda949
I wanted a recipe that was similar to the ones I have had a restaurant in the past. I searched the site and found some good sauces for seared ahi- but just not what I was looking for. I found one a lot like I was looking for at Simple Recipes- I tweeked it a bit and I'm posting it here for safe keeping because it was so yummy!! Mind you- it was fresh, wild caught ahi- which can make a difference. I'll let you know how it goes with frozen fish, should I break down and try it (but with two avid ocean fisherman in the neighborhood hood, it will be a desperate move!)
Top Review by Rachel M.
delicious!!! I also add half a jalapeno and two handfuls of finely chopped cilantro leaves to the marinade. The cilantro makes such a difference and I wouldn't make this recipe without it. Like another commenter said, I usually double the marinade recipe for better coverage and then use the extra to drizzle over my green beans and steamed rice (I prefer basmati rice for this recipe). I only cook my ahi tuna for about a minute on each side, which is perfect for my tastes as I like the middle rare.
See Discussion:5 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (6 -8 ounce) ahi tuna steaks (3/4 of an inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced (a few slices reserved for garnish)
- 1⁄2-1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- fresh cracked pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and lime juice in a non metal bowl. Add ahi and coat , cover tightly, and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a pan until light brown (I prefer a blend of white and black sesame seeds- the black ones are hard to find, try an asian market). Remove seeds and allow to cool on a flat plate (you will use this plate to dredge the tuna in)- add cracked pepper.
- Add olive oil to a skillet and allow it to get HOT.
- Dredge the ahi in the sesame seeds and pepper to coat and add to the hot pan.
- Cook only two or three minutes on each side so that the ahi is seared on the outside and rare on the inside.
- Serve with white rice and green beans that have been either roasted or cooked and drizzled with sesame oil. Sprinkle any extra sesame seeds over the top.
- garnish with remaining green onion and ENJOY!

WHY did Vernon A. Tait leave an initial bequest of $500,000 to John A. Caltabiano and his nearly bankrupt nonprofit foundation, All-Animal Adoption?
Dr. Caltabiano does not know.
But, he said, he immediately knew what he wanted to do with this windfall and all others that might follow. Dr. Caltabiano, who has run a mobile veterinary practice in the lower Connecticut River Valley, for 16 years, says the money will be used for all the problems that assail the state's domestic and wild animals.
Upon receiving the first bequest Dr. Caltabiano reorganized his foundation and named it the Vernon A. Tait All-Animal Adoption Preservation and Rescue Fund Inc., informally known as Tait's Every Animal Matters (TEAM), and set up a state-wide toll-free telephone number for the placement of unwanted pets and to address concerns of animal lovers.
''But this is only the beginning. You haven't seen anything, yet,'' says Dr. Caltabiano.
Soon the state's worst animal problem -- the uncontrolled growth of the state's domestic and feral cat population will be addressed, he said.
Dr. Caltabiano's plan is to customize a 24-foot van into a mobile veterinary operating theater, and to drive to each of the state's 169 municipalities.Continue reading the main story
The van will not leave town until all the cats needing to be spayed or neutered are gathered up by volunteers or brought in by owners and attended to, free, he said.
The program is directed at animals who ordinarily would never receive any veterinary treatment, Dr. Caltabiano said.
A network of volunteers from Spay/USA, a program of the Pet Savers Foundation, will help capture feral or stray cats, says Esther Mechler, director of the animal protection organization, which has over 5,000 veterinary volunteers nationwide, and at least 80 in Connecticut.
Ms. Mechler's group has gathered 700 cats in Bridgeport for spaying, this year alone.
Strays that need a home will be placed by TEAM, Dr. Caltabiano said. Feral cats too wild to be placed will be released. Only when a municipality's cat overpopulation problem has been solved will the van travel to another municipality, and begin the process all over again, he said.
''There's no question that the biggest killer of cats is overpopulation,'' said Ms. Mechler.
Dr. Caltabiano agreed. When TEAM initiated its state-wide animal hot line, the majority of the calls were about cat overpopulation problems, he said.
''Then I got a call from Esther. I asked her what she thought had to be done, and she told me about her very detailed plan,'' he said.
Cat overpopulation has many ramifications, said Dr. Caltabiano. Cats, for example, reduce the numbers and diversity of the state's bird population.
By February Dr. Caltabiano's van will park in the first municipality, and begin a program that is expected to continue into next summer.
Vernon Tait, 71, of New Haven, drowned in Lake Zoar in Southbury in 1992. He left half his multimillion-dollar estate to Yale University and half to Dr. Caltabiano's foundation, of which the $500,000 is a first payment.
Before receiving Mr. Tait's bequest, All-Animal Adoption received no funding and very few donations, although it had placed hundreds of animals, including a pig, and operated a toll-free number costing more than $2,000 a month, said Dr. Caltabiano.
''It's karma, it's fate, it's providence. I want to be true to the spirit that Mr. Tait had when he made the bequest, I want to make sure this serves the animals,'' he said.
Animals needing homes will be placed, he said. Wild animals needing help will be rescued and rehabilitated.
The next priority of TEAM will be to work with the North American Wildlife Association, a state-wide animal rescue organization, to train young people to rescue, rehabilitate and release injured wild animals, he said.
More information is available by calling 888-FOR-TEAM or 860-399-5569 in the Westbrook area. Phones are staffed from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M. daily.Continue reading the main story

54th Congress of the European Regional Science Association: "Regional development & globalisation: Best practices", 26-29 August 2014, St. Petersburg, Russia
Based on the international agreements after the Kyoto Protocol, some projects to reduce the greenhouse gas emission have been promoted even in Japan. Therefore, policies such as various regulations and introduction of the environmental tax have been discussed, so people will be asked for big burden. However, in many local cities, problems such as falling birth rate, aging, and stagnation of regional economy are important subjects, so it is hard to give the priority to the global warming prevention policy. In addition, in spite of abundance of natural resources such as forest, wind, water, and sunlight, the local city has a problem that the fund for the global warming prevention policy which utilizes these resources cannot be procured by financial difficulties. On the other hand, the renewable energy business with citizen participation will give the local community some effects. On the environment aspect, the carbon dioxide emission will be reduced by introducing the renewable energy. On the economy aspect, the local employment will be stimulated if the local contractor will construct the renewable energy system and maintain it. Therefore, there should be the renewable energy business which would achieve both the global warming prevention and the regional economic revitalization. Furthermore, through such business with citizen participation, the environmental activity of the local residents will be activated, and we can expect that the semi-public service will be improved and the satisfaction of the local residents will rise. In this paper, we propose a small hydroelectric generation project with citizen participation which includes not only donation to the project but also cooperation in the activity such as cleaning and patrols. And the project is evaluated economically based on the willingness to work (WTW) by using the contingent valuation method and the general equilibrium analysis. As a result, the WTW for the project has been estimated as a function of its various attributes; the revenue, the profit to the local community, and the reward to contributors. On the other hand, the revenue should vary with the number of contributors; where the number means the WTW. As for the profit to the local community and the reward to contributors, these are positioned as the policy variables. Therefore, by using our evaluation model, we will be able to evaluate various policies for the renewable energy business; for example, policies which make the revenue maximize, policies which make the social utility maximize, and so on.

After 39 minutes and 54 seconds of nip-and-tuck basketball, just two points separated Russia and Brazil. Brazilian starting point guard Marcelinho Huertas sat most of the fourth quarter while Chicago-born backup Larry Taylor put pipe-bursting pressure on the Russian backcourt, but in the final minute, Huertas — on a headlong rush out of bounds — somehow snuck a righty layup just under the outstretched arm of 6-foot-9 forward Victor Khryapa with just enough English to spin it off the glass and in for a 74-72 lead.
That's it; that was the difference. A bit of magic, conjured from the ether. With 6.1 seconds left on the clock, Russia coach David Blatt empowered shooting guard Vitaly Fridzon to conjure some of his own.
"The coach told me if I was open to shoot it," Fridzon said after Tuesday's game, according to Yahoo!'s own Adrian Wojnarowski.
[ Video: Tunisian men's basketball coach slaps player ]
Thanks to a screen from teammate Sasha Kaun, Fridzon was open when point guard Alexey Shved inbounded the ball, so shoot he did. And ... well, we'd love to show it to you here, but we can't, so you should go check it out for yourself.
With flailing Brazilian defender Leandro Barbosa rolling on the floor beneath him and taking his legs out — no whistle, natch — Fridzon drained his lone 3-point attempt of the day, a monster bucket that put Russia up one with four ticks left on the clock. Barbosa's mad-dash attempt to answer went wide right down the other end and Russia held on for a thrilling 75-74 win that Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press quite rightly called "the best game of the tournament thus far."
Fridzon, a 6-foot-5-inch combo guard who plays professionally for Khimki Moscow, finished with six points on 2-of-3 shooting, four assists and three rebounds in 19 minutes of game time. Star forward Andrei Kirilenko, the tournament's leading scorer entering play Thursday, led all scorers with 19 points (14 of which came in the second quarter) and four rebounds in 37 minutes. Exciting young Russian point guard Shved — who hit a huge 3-pointer to tie the game at 72 before Huertas made his diving scoop to give Brazil the lead — added 17 points and six assists, but he also struggled with Brazil's pressure defense a bit, committing six turnovers in 30 minutes.
[ Related: NBA players have voice to preserve Olympic basketball format ]
Reserve center Timofey Mozgov, who plays stateside with the NBA's Denver Nuggets, added 18 points and seven rebounds off the bench for Russia. Guards Barbosa (16 points) and Taylor (12 points) paced Brazil.
The game-winning triple sent Russia out of the Basketball Arena with a 3-0 record, tops in Group B, while dropping Brazil down to 2-1. Spain, which tipped its game against host nation Great Britain at 3 p.m. ET, will either join Russia in a tie atop the group or match Brazil for second. The top four teams in each group of the competition at the end of pool play head on to the single-elimination quarterfinal portion of the tournament.
Now, all that housekeeping taken care of: What a freakin' shot. Maybe not quite "Belinda Snell against France" good but still, not bad for a guy, I guess.

The Crusade
(Jewish Perspective)
By: Giovanni
Mr. Burruel
History (M7)
The first Crusade brought panic, fear, terror, and a new type of dread for the Muslims, Jews, Christians involved in the First Crusade. One of the religions involved in the crusade were the Jews. The Jews are most famous for being crucified by the Germans and being almost exterminated from the world. The Jews though also have another major role in a part of history, with the First Crusade. The Jewish religion to begin wasn't really a dominant religion a the First Crusade. Part of the reason for this was because of Rome, and Jesus Christ. This made 2 religions sky rocket, Christianity, and Catholicism. WIth this happening the other religions would start to slowly, and sometimes rapidly fade, meaning that their religion would no longer be as popular as it used to be. Religions that suffered this were Muslims, and especially the Jews. Now that you know about Jews, then you will know what they did for the Crusade. The Jews perspective of the Crusade was as a type of attack. The Jews were one of the people who thought that they were being attacked, along with the Muslims. The reason for this was because the ones attacking, were the Christians, and the Catholics. With that said, when the Christians and Catholics attacked in the First Crusade the ones they went out for were the Muslims, and the Jews. In the Jews perspective, the Christians and Catholics were killing innocent people who weren't doing anything bad. The Jews thought that the Christians and Catholics were attacking for no reason, and to respond for that there was only one option, attacking back. With this now happening a long 3 year religion battle would begin. This battle is thought to have killed about 100,000 people or even more. The Jews would ironically be on their own side. They would never unit with the Muslims in the First Crusade, even though they both were being attacked by the Catholics, and Christians. The Jews perspective was very innocent and very confusing perspective. The Jews have another part of history that could just as well be as important as the Holocaust.
First person perspective of Crusade (Muslim)- The invaders were attacking, they went out of rage and started attacking all of us. We tried as hard as we could to flee, and somehow find safety somewhere.
First person perspective of Crusade (Christian)- When we finally reached our holy land, the holy land that was taken by invaders. We must take back what is ours, and we will triumph. We will kill every single Muslim, who took our Holy Land.
First Person Perspective of Crusade (Jewish)- All of our people were being attacked, and we weren't the only ones. The other ones attacked were the muslims, and they got killed big time. If one was seen, they would be killed immediatley.

PORT ALLEN — At the urging of Superintendent Wesley Watts, West Baton Rouge Parish school administrators and School Board members are working in tandem on a five-year strategic plan aimed at getting the school district recognized as one of the top 10 in the state by 2020.
Watts says the school system will do so by inspiring academic excellence through high-quality instruction and strengthening the moral character of its students, according to a comprehensive "Vision Plan" he unveiled to board members, school officials and community leaders at Wednesday's School Board meeting.
"I'm a believer in developing the whole student," Watts said. "We just want to narrow our focus on what we're doing."
Watts' presentation is one of his first major initiatives since becoming superintendent last year following the retirement of David Corona, who served as the administrative head of the school system for 10 years.
Watts was the principal of Zachary High School for four years before accepting the West Baton Rouge post.
Watts' vision for the school system involves a five-pronged approach: academics, personnel, finances, facilities and transportation.
The superintendent created five committees, headed by administrators and including board members, each focusing on one of the five areas. Those committees will develop a strategic plan that includes goals and a time line to attain them and pulling together a comprehensive current snapshot of the school district.
Watts said the work toward the plan began at a retreat he and the School Board attended on Nov. 8 when many of the Vision Plan's core principles were first adopted.
Board president Jason Manola said the board is throwing its support behind what Watts is trying to accomplish.
"We also share the same vision with the administration and we appreciate that he finds our input valuable," Manola said.
The West Baton Rouge Parish School District has been on a path to becoming an A-graded school system.
Within the last seven years, West Baton Rouge school district's performance score climbed from an 81.1, or C grade, to 91.1, or B grade, according to the Louisiana Department of Education's annual district performance reports.
"We know we want to be an A school district but it's going to require most of our students learning on the master level," Sharon Lair, associate superintendent of instruction and chairwoman of Watts' academics committee, said Wednesday night.
School officials said they are aware they'll need to focus on teacher pay and retention as well and take measures to maintain the district's financial security to implement any measures the transportation and buildings committees may outline.
The superintendent hopes to have the five-year strategic plan pulled together by June 30.
"This is going to give our kids confidence and make them feel better when they leave our district," Watts said. "I believe great people with a clear purpose will give results that are unmatched."

HTC One Specs Review: A Jet Li of a smartphone

HTC is one of our favorite smartphone companies. No, really. They have proven it numerous times that they can think outside the box. We've seen it in some of their earlier Android smartphones, which could easily stand out from the crowd thanks to their characteristic design features and highly-customized software experience...

I have the nexus 4 which is the best Android phone I have ever had in terms of design, looks and speed (fluidness). I really like what HTC did with this phone. However, I wouldn't get it just yet. I want to see what the Galaxy SIV has to offer in terms of design and hardware. Software wise, I have no complains. Completely happy with Jelly bean. The only thing I care about now is the build quality, material used and how a phone looks. Plastic doesn't work for me anymore (hint Samsung).

phones are not made to drop or to use them for self-defense !!
57. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
No, but a phone should be made with these in mind: It needs to be able to survive in a pocket with keys,coins or any other metal objects one might carry around. It needs to be able to survive at least a 5 ft drop onto a hard surface like cement too. Without these the phone is automatically considered weak.
9. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
i like the summation within the article in terms to the maturation of HTC's one line of devices while keeping it open to not painting the picture of the perfect device that most first thoughts of a new device do.
im not sold on the blinkfeed but i have read on several occasions that this stream is a page that can be disabled. is this true? not because its "WP" style its not. i like the FLIPBOARD/ Google Currents theme that is represented, i just have worries on the tax its putting on the battery with its image and content refreshes.
I do like the placement of dual speakers on the front it leaves room to play with the designs on the back for future devices such ass a rear notification light or even a non touchscreen notification display area and the uniform desgin across carriers means good OEM and 3rd party accessories... this is on its way to a win!!

The blinkfeed can be disabled. In fact, you can change the launcher to look like a slightly changed Sense 4 homescreen, with the same clock widget.

I'm a big htc fan. That being said i love this phone. Hate the front speakers thats ugly. Otherwise I would like a kickstand. But great materials and htc sense looks good. Battery size is good as well.
67. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Front speakers are good, no need to cup your hand to direct the sound.
20. biophone (Posts: 1994; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Phone arena saying they love htc no one gets mad. If they said that about apple everyone would be up in arms!!

29. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Ideally it would be nice to have one, but if 64GB of storage isn't enough for someone on their phone, I really don't know what to say.....
26. Desmund (Posts: 74; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
I can deal with the no SD micro card because as of right now yet to use up all space in 16GB actually 10 in original Moto Atrix 4G
27. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
If by Jet Li you mean HTC is washed up, then yes I agree.
30. Desmund (Posts: 74; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.
32. techtruth (Posts: 30; Member since: 07 Feb 2013)
these android battles are really going intense.. i will wait for gs4
33. Diego! (Posts: 677; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
I have to admit it looks way better in the non-official pictures as in the "One"s (LOL) released by HTC. Specially the red version!
I just checked it will be released in Argentina by Claro and Personal, that's great!!
But, before I handle my wallet, I wanna Samsung has to show. Go on Sammy, we are waiting for you!
36. tmcr7 (Posts: 180; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Still no expandable storage? When will HTC ever learn that customers are always looking for this option?

At the Asset Protection & Elder Law Center, we are committed to representing our clients with integrity, hard work, and highly personal legal counsel. We strive to make sure you understand your options by explaining complex legal matters in real English, not "Legalese." Then, we work closely with you to design and implement a customized plan to address all of your concerns and help you achieve short and long-term goals. We represent individuals, families and businesses, including corporations and professional partnerships, both domestic and foreign. We have represented clients locally, nationwide and internationally, from Europe to Asia and beyond. Our practice includes all aspects of Estate Planning, Domestic and Offshore Asset Protection, Business Planning/Incorporation and Medi-Cal planning. We take pride in the fact that the bulk of our new business comes from the referrals of existing clients. We are also different from most Orange County law firms in that we do not operate under the traditional "hourly billing" model, where clients are billed in six-minute increments, or sent an invoice for each email, phone call, or fax that crosses our desk. Instead, we operate under a flat-fee model, which means you pay one price—no matter how many times you need to call or how many hours we invest in your case (litigation excluded). This reflects our belief that clients should have access to great representation in a way that is straightforward, equitable and affordable.
Asset Protection, Estate Planning, Medi-Cal Planning and Business Incorporation
Unlike many traditional lawyers, attorney Patrick Phancao began his career abroad. Having been raised in Europe, Asia and Africa, traveling has always been a part of his life. After law school, when the opportunity arose to act as the Assistant Legal Counsel to a French Bank based abroad, he took on the challenge. He worked as the Bank's Assistant Corporate Counsel for a year, where he learned a great deal about the financial industry. When he came back to California, Mr. Phancao was offered a position as Legal Counsel to a Supplemental Nutrients Company in Los Angeles. There, he became acquainted with the previous owner who had a wide range of legal needs. In his year and a half at the company, Mr. Phancao received a great deal of legal exposure in the following areas of the law—Patents and Trademarks, Corporate Governance, and Asset Protection to name a few. A few months back and in full practice, Mr. Phancao set the highest bond in California history in the White Collar Crime Division in the Superior Court of Los Angeles. He also participated in the biggest individual tax case of 2003. Given results like this, affluent individuals, families and businesses in both California and Florida began seeking Mr. Phancao's counsel on all aspects of Asset Protection and Estate Planning, particularly complex matters. He soon realized that many of his clients, particularly baby boomers, needed counsel in the areas of Elder Law and Medi-Cal eligibility. He set out to change the landscape in this area as well, helping seniors and the people who love them take the proper steps to safeguard their life savings against the high cost of long-term care. Mr. Phancao then partnered with Ms. Shaffer to further strengthen his capabilities in this complicated and increasingly important arena. The two of them started a boutique law firm in Irvine, California specializing in Estate Planning, Asset Protection, Business Planning and Succession, and Medicaid/Medi-Cal Planning.
Estate Planning, Probate Litigation, and Trustee Administration
Attorney Shadi Shaffer completed her Bachelor of Arts in Law & Society at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The following year, she went on to complete her Masters Certificate while studying abroad in Spain. Attorney Shaffer thereafter completed her Juris Doctorate degree in San Diego, California in 2002 and was proudly admitted to the State Bar of California in November 2002. Prior to her legal career, Attorney Shaffer had an extensive and diverse work history, which helped her gain skills that have proven invaluable to her legal practice. As an Attorney, she worked for the underserved at the San Diego Labor Board. She then joined a legal defense firm where she represented large insurance companies and hotels located throughout California. Shortly after, Attorney Shaffer opened her own firm so she could provide clients with exceptional legal representation and personalized client service of a different caliber than she had experienced thus far. She started the Asset Protection & Elder Law Center with her like-minded partner Patrick P. Phancao, in an effort to build a law practice dedicated to providing the level of sophisticated legal representation one would expect at a large firm combined with the personal attention of a boutique firm. To date, the firm receives the majority of its business through referrals, which shows the commitment and quality representation the two partners have provided to their clients. Since its formation, the Asset Protection & Elder Law Center and its staff have shown an uncompromising commitment to client service and responsiveness. Throughout its growth, Attorney Shaffer continues to provide individual attention, sound counsel, and cost effective representation. Attorney Shaffer is active in the community, both here and abroad. She has volunteered overseas helping orphaned children. She has worked with at risk teens through the Orange County Bar Association, continues to provide numerous pro bono hours to her community, and has served as a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. In 2009, Attorney Shaffer also became an active and contributing Board Member of the Pacific Youth Symphony Ensemble of Orange County. Attorney Shaffer's passion is educating clients about estate planning and the law in general. She strives to provide individuals and families with an estate plan that will act as a foundation to protect everyone they love and everything they own. Her warmth and passion toward estate planning has forged long-lasting relationships with her clients, many of whom regard her as counsel and friend.

Ruth Brissenden
Attorney After 18 years in the hospitality industry, Ruth was looking for a change in her professional career. She had spoken to countless people advising her that with her outgoing personality and analytical mind, a job in the legal industry seemed like a perfect fit. As with most things in life, she took a leap of faith, and jumped headfirst. Once she graduated, she had the opportunity to practice in a boutique estate planning firm. The Asset Protection Center was lucky to acquire her services in early 2012. She has been an intricate part of the team, bringing her expertise, caring attitude, and attention to detail to our firm, and to our clients.
Lana Del Monaco
Client Services Director Lana's introduction to the law stemmed from a personal passion. After her father suffered a serious illness, she experienced firsthand the challenges that came from juggling a professional career, a young family, and an elder parent in need. While most people would have thrown in the towel, Lana decided to continue her education and get a paralegal degree. She is now our Client Services Director, and with her warm demeanor, is the first face that most clients get introduced to when working with our firm.

Some marketers may feel that direct mail marketing is not a successful use of a marketing budget. However, in a recent study titled "Finding the Right Channel Combination: What Drives Channel Choice," ICOM found that consumers in U.S. and Canada between the ages of 18-34 preferred to learn about marketing offers via mail and newspapers than online sources like social media sites.
Also, 36% of U.S. respondents, across all ages, trust the mail more than email — up from 29 percent in 2008. This means direct mail marketing is becoming even more important to companies looking to reach prospective customers.
If you decide to run a direct mail marketing campaign, or you want to improve the one you have now, use these 10 strategies.
- Find the right list – One of the first things you want to do when creating a direct mail campaign is to list specifically who the campaign targets. Up to 40% of the success of your campaign relies on choosing the correct list of prospects. Are you targeting consumers or businesses? Are these people homeowners? Are they families or unmarried couples? These are just a few criteria you can look at when finding prospects. The more specific you are with your target audience, the higher quality your leads will be, and this will increase your ROI.
- Get your timing right – Don't order a list too far in advance of your direct mail campaign being sent out. Listing information is changing constantly, so you want to make sure you have the latest information possible. Order your list when you are ready to launch to get a higher deliverable percentage.
- Define a clear objective – Coming up with a clear objective helps you know exactly where to aim. Decide if you are trying to build brand awareness, announce a new product or service, or generate leads. Without a clear objective, it is difficult to determine success.
- Include a clear offer and call-to-action statement – If you bury or don't include a call-to-action statement, you will hinder the direct mail campaign. Also, if you include a discount, special offer along with a deadline for those offers, the potential prospect will have more of an incentive to respond.
- Provide more than one way to respond – Everyone has their own preference in how they like to respond. If you offer various ways to respond – phone numbers, email addresses, and a PURL website – you will increase your response rate on the piece. It will allow prospects to respond in the way they are most comfortable.
- Use customer testimonials – Real customer testimonials provide positive references to your company. A recent Sirius Decisions survey indicated that 22% of respondents found peers as their most trusted source. When you have a message direct from your customers, it has a greater influence on future prospects.
- Test your campaigns – The best way to increase responses is to test different elements of your campaign, one at a time. The top elements to test are your headline, the opening sentence, the offer, and the pricing. By testing and then using the most successful elements, future campaigns will generate a higher ROI.
- Have proper expectations – It is important to be realistic when launching a direct mail campaign. Deliverability rates for a consumer list are 94% and for a business list are 90%. However, the average response rate is 1% to 2%. Don't let your high expectations discourage you from knowing what a successful direct mail campaign is.
- Follow up campaigns with a call – Use a phone call to make a campaign more personal and to reinforce your brand. It can help establish a relationship after a prospect has learned about your brand and company.
- Track your results – Finally, be sure to track and monitor the results of your campaign. Know exactly the number of people who responded to your mailing and specific information about them. By having more defined targets and exactly how your campaign is worked, you can run an even more successful direct mail campaign in the future.

The increasing interest in recent years in vegetation history, long term climatic changes and the development of biotic communities has resulted in a substantial growth in the literature and has provided an incentive for scientists to use paleoecology concepts to clarify contemporary ecological issues. The authors examine the validity of space for time substitution in studies of plant succession, the individualistic nature of species migrations and invasions of pre-existing communities following major environmental change, and the applications of Quaternary ecology to predicting biotic responses to future global climatic change.

NEW STUFF - Buxton Brewery - England
Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, kind of like the town of Bath in southern England. People have been taking advantage of the special "waters" there since the Romans occupied England. The Romans called the town "Aquae Arnemetiae" which translates as "The Waters of the Goddess of the Spring".
Buxton Brewery takes advantage of those special waters . Many of these beers take their names from local geographical and geological features near Buxton. The tower depicted on their beer labels is called Solomon's Temple or Grinlow Tower. It is a "folly," which means it was built just for decoration, but made to look old and important.

Deep Rainbow Valley Brett Edition 8.5% - a soured saison infused with orange juice, wild foraged gorse flowers and amarillo hops. Bottled, corked and caged by hand with Brettanomyces yeast in June 2015. A collaboration with Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. 75cl bottles only. rb = 93
Buxton The Living End Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 11%
|Months spent in wood have imparted characteristic sweet, vanilla and oak flavours and aromas into this rich imperial stout. 2015 release. rb = 99
Buxton / Lervig Trolltunga Sour/Wild Ale 6.3%
Gooseberry Sour IPA. Trolltunga is a jutting rock in Norway, hanging 700 metres over lake Ringedalsvatnet. Only the wary tread the path to the very edge. This beer was brewed to celebrate friendship and a love of wild places. A collaboration with Lervig Aktiebryggeri from Stavanger, Norway rb = 97
Buxton Gooseberry Cove Fruit Beer 4.7%

"The Big Five" is an Alternate History which is dominated by five superpowers: Rome, the Maya, the Han, Japan, and the Aztecs. They survive today due to five major point-of-divergences (POD), and many other minor PODs throughout the centuries that either benefit or neglect the advancement of a nation.The current year is 2765 AUC (Ab Urbe Condita) or OTL 2012 CE.
POD1: The Maya city-states are united as an aggregate, when Qlatulh Ithal Ilhataqual (Qualthl for short) a dictator from Tikal and a political genius and dictator, manages to convince thirty-two city-states to goin his "Holy Maya Aggregate". In 1093 CE all forty-one city-states join the aggregate. and Qualthl becomes the Aggregate King, and leaves a strict line of succession constitution.
POD2:Emperor Gaozu's empress, Empress Lü Zhi, gives birth to a second son, Liu Zhou Lang. Becoming Emperor of Han in 195 BCE, he brings success to the Han Dynasty. He reforms the army, levels taxes and expands the Han's rule into OTL Mongolia and OTL south Kazakhstan. He also renames it The Greater Han Dynasty.
POD3: Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, while touring his empire in 172 CE, finds and adopts a five-year old Sulifex Pontus in Eboracum, Brittania (OTL York, England), after discovering him to be a boy genius. Marcus' son Commodus succeeds to the throne, but in 189 CE, a plot to kill Commodus arises. Commodus though, along with the help of Sulifex, discover the plot and banish those involved in it. On his death bed three years later, he announces that Sulifex will be his succesor. That year Sulifex becomes Caeser and starts the reign of the "Good Emperors". He also gains lost land, as well as claiming Caledonia and Hibernia (OTL Scotland and Ireland).
POD4: The Japanese Shogunate was formed 1000 years earlier than its OTL counterpart, The Japanese Empire (1868 CE), when a dictator from Ainu, Haikougonshu Shima (more commonly known as Haikougu), forms the Shogunate from the warring states. The citizens of the Shogunate realise the advantages of a united nation, and independence and self-sustainability becomes a priority. Japan enters a Golden Age.
POD5:The Aztec Empire emerges from three Nahua city-states as the Aztec Triple Alliance in 1428 CE. This is not a POD in itself, it is just recognised as one, since the Aztecs were never conquered by the Spaniards and had a half millennium of good rulers. They expand into North Columbia (OTL North America) because they cannot get past the prospering Mayans.

Mr. LEE. Mr. President, it is important that we begin the long overdue process of reforming the way the Federal Government responds to catastrophic disasters.
Too often Federal disaster relief has been reactive, bureaucratic, arbitrary, and billions of dollars are spent. Sometimes that happens with little or no accountability. Resources go unused, goals are not met, and redtape delays recovery. In the end, it seems Washington focuses sometimes solely on the price tag rather than on the people we are trying to help.
The current model assumes that politicians and bureaucrats in Washington are best suited to decide where, when, and how best to allocate resources during an emergency, but common sense and decades of experience tell us otherwise. It is the people on the ground--local officials and emergency responders, of course, but also individuals, families, and voluntary organizations--who are best equipped to help communities respond and recover from disasters.
As I looked into these issues, it became clear to me that even as the Federal Government has distributed billions for recovery with the right hand, regulations and bureaucracy have choked the recovery process with the left hand. Our recovery policy needs to be both more flexible and more consistent. Flood victims on the east coast deal with the same issues as flood victims in the gulf. Yet they are often faced with different rules and requirements. Federal policy should be clarified so that local officials and private citizens understand the process before a disaster occurs rather than having to deal with it and figure it out after the fact.
My amendment would create permanent, substantive regulatory reforms to assist victims of all disasters. It would create no new Federal program or taxpayer burden. It would instead remove redtape and provide temporary but immediate regulatory relief for disaster victims and relief volunteers. It would make it easier for a family to access savings to begin immediate recovery. It would temporarily waive certain regulatory burdens for people providing essential services after a disaster. It would expedite shipping to ensure we can get critical materials to areas affected by a disaster. Most importantly, my amendment would make these reforms automatic so that communities could begin rebuilding immediately and without having to wait for Washington, DC, to act. These are important and I believe overdue reforms, and they represent a good first step toward improving our approach to disaster relief.
I am pleased with the positive response this proposal has received so far, although I understand that some of my colleagues have concerns that a few of these substantive changes merit additional discussion and consideration.
I believe these reforms ought to be permanent fixtures of Federal emergency response policy, and ideally they should be part of a more comprehensive package to overhaul how we respond to Federal disasters.
I have spoken with my good friend Senator Hatch, the ranking member of the Finance Committee--the committee in which many of these reforms will and should properly be debated. He has expressed an interest in working with me on these reforms in the new Congress.
I look forward to and encourage all of my colleagues to join me in a serious and meaningful dialog about these critical issues.
Mr. President, with that understanding, I withdraw my amendment because I am confident that a broader discussion will be good for the country and will result in reforms that will eliminate waste, facilitate quicker recovery, and deliver assistance to Americans most severely affected by disasters.

I've been with my boyfriend (25m) for 7 months now, and as a pretty laid back girl I've had no concern about the fact we didn't put anything on Facebook about our relationship straight away. In fact, I think it's sensible to wait till at least a little while down the line.
So it's been 7 months now, he's told me he loves me and I feel the same way about him. I've had a few trust issues with him recently, but tried to brush them under the carpet. The other night I decided it'd be quite nice if I could change my Facebook relationship status, as I'm proud of my relationship and want him to know that too. So I sent him a little message saying 'lame question, but is it okay if I updated my Facebook relationship status?' to which he replied 'of course :)'
Now that was three days ago, and he hasn't accepted the request yet. Awkward with a capital A right? Why won't he accept it, and what can I say/do without sounding like a nag about it?
Why won't he change his relationship status on facebook?

If he is someone that isn't too big on using fb then maybe he hasn't seen it.
Or he hasn't changed it because it gives him some form of satisfaction that you have yours up and he doesn't which in turn makes him feel like he is the one in control. Or he has a few lady friends he might be interested in and doesn't want to ruin the chance of being with them.. That way he gets to say it's you and then could be dissing you behind your back to protect the fact that he really is in a relationship.00|00|0
I guess it's the last suggestion that worries me. I don't want to make myself sound unnecessarily concerned about it though or turn it into a big deal. Not sure how i can nudge him into accepting it. Or do I just give it a little while longer, then delete it if he doesn't' accept? Kind of feel that's just like burying my head in the sand though, as there's clearly a problem.
I feel if he really wanted a relationship with you then he would be happy to change his relationship. However you need to take control now and turn the tables to see what reaction he gives to what I'm going to.
Change your relationship status back to single and when he asks you about it tell him a relationship is between 2 people and he obviously isn't Interested in being in a relationship with me and if you were then you would bring your part.. If he doesn't make a nois about it then you know to move on. I don't agree it's like buying your hand in the sand if you delete after a short time because this is your life and emotions at play and you are beautifully and wonderful made and you deserve to be cherished..
Thanks so much for your opinion. You're very right! Hopefully I'll soon find out what his problem is. Going to give him till the weekend - just in case he hasn't been on Facebook because of work etc. (but saying that i did tell him I was going to do it!) - and then if there's still nothing, I'll delete it.
