I've decided to believe that only one more would have done it. I can almost sIeep at night if there is only one more. Slowly and methodically, he reverse-engineered a perfect moment. He took from his surroundings what was needed... and made of it something more. And once the details had been successfully navigated... there would be nothing left to do but wait for the conflict.

And eventually he must have got it perfect and it must have been beautiful... with all the praise and adoration he had coming. He had probabIy saved lives, after all.

IGNFF: voyagerThe film deals with time travel. Is that a fascination of yours? CARRUTH: It's in there because it satisfies the theme. I knew what the story was thematically before I knew it had anything to do with science or science fiction. I knew I was talking about a story where we're gonna have a conventional relationship with these guys. Because it's something, some device or power is going to be introduced that's going to change what's at risk, what they are liable to lose if that trust is broken. And that's going to be the thing that unravels their relationship, and not just relationships, I was interested in it because I think it's universal, whether you're talking about power structures in politics or whatever. And so, this device, once I knew that my setting was innovation and we're talking about actually making something, when I went through the list of what this thing could be, when I got to device that affects time, it did seem like, okay, not only does it satisfies the theme: People finding themselves in somebody else's past and how unnerving that would be. To me that's kind of worse than any physical harm, so it definitely satisfies that, but I thought there was also almost a common-sense way that this machine should work and that they should be using it… I just thought it was really interesting. The paradoxical stuff, the causality of it just seems to reaffirm the theme over and over again, this man against himself and other people, it just really satisfied everything I was interested in.

The Music Room is a triple-height, oak-floored and oak-beamed, barn-style wedding ceremony room. It boasts stunning cathedral-style windows overlooking the feature gardens, the meadows and ultimately Surrey's Golden Valley and its many windows mean that it is always (during the day at least!) filled with a warm, welcoming light. It can seat up to 123 guests for civil ceremony celebrations and benefits from a spacious Minstrels' Gallery which can host a harpist, pianist or string quartet to accompany your vows. Large double doors open out into the Courtyard Garden for reception drinks.
The Courtyard Garden offers among the most remarkable views of any wedding venue in Surrey. The garden sits at the very peak of the hill upon which Cain Manor sits, and benefits from an unobscured view all the way across the North Downs and Surrey's Golden Valley. The signing of the register itself takes place under cover of the pergola, and your guests form two blocks of seats facing towards it, through which your wedding party will proceed.

First, I'm sorry i've been out of touch this weekend. A very important person to my family is int he hospital after suffering two consecutive heart attacks, and all of my thoughts have been there. If you're the praying type I'd so appreciate some prayers for her!
I ran across THIS CHANDELIER today, and grabbed one for my friend who is redecorating. Did you know OKL accepts returns on EVERYTHING now? It's going to change my business, for the better, and I know I'll be able to buy even more there... hooray! Anyway, I am in love with this, and the price is awesome:
It would be great painted or with some Rub 'n Buff, too:
Ok, on to the rooms. I hope you all had a great start to the week!
This company is so fashion forward, and is doing exclusives for OKL now:

Fishermen blockaded ports Wednesday in Prince Edward Island during peaceful protests over low lobster prices.
Fishermen involved in the protest say they will not fish until they are paid $5 per pound for lobster.
Prices are currently about $3 per pound.
Some captains ignored the boycott and did go out to fish, and only ports with processing plants were affected by the protest.
Fisherman Kent Clements said that without an upward shift in prices, very little lobster will be caught this week.
"We've had enough. ... None of us can afford to fish any more and we all might as well stay home," he said.
Donnie Johnston, another lobster fisherman, said he's determined to receive $5 per pound before he agrees to set his traps.
"The only people not making money from lobster is us," he said.
At Beach Point, fishermen hauled up a few boats and blocked the entrance to the harbour authority.
They say the blockade will remain until prices increase.
The RCMP were on hand to observe, but did not interfere.
By 10 a.m., a port meeting on the wharf in Graham's Pond had more than 150 fishermen voting unanimously to go on strike until their price is met.
Mike McGeoghegan, president of the P.E.I. Fishermen's Association, said the low prices are preventing rural fishermen from remaining in the industry.
The Opposition Conservative party called on the province's Liberal government to become involved in the price dispute.
Fisheries critic Colin LaVie said the province should bring fishermen and processors together to find a solution.
"I will say that we need an industry-led solution," he said. "However, the minister needs to work with the industry to bring all the stakeholders together to find that solution."

Forego The Fancy Seat-Side Service When Dining At The Ballpark.
By Rebecca Cook
SUMMERTIME MEANS BASEBALL, the most celebrated warm-weather preoccupation of all.
And while long-distance viewing from the comfort of your living room is satisfactory for most occasions, there's no substitute for actually being at the ballpark.
...The sound of the announcer's voice introducing the players, the bark of vendors hawking their wares, the dubbed pipe organ reminding us of another era, the seventh-inning stretch and the obligatory chiming in on "Take Me Out To the Ballgame," the food....
The food? What's so great about hot dogs, the contents of which, once revealed, have driven countless minions into vegetarianism?
If this is your knee-jerk reaction, you're missing out on some major minor-league fun. Ballpark food across the nation has entered a new era, one transcending its plebeian origins of peanuts, hot dogs and beer. Depending on the site, you can find some pretty impressive examples of regional cuisine at the old ballpark.
You might find fresh seafood at some East Coast ballparks, sushi and wine coolers in California, and tacos with all the trimmings in Texas.
And, by the way, what's the matter with hotdogs and beer? It's not the healthiest diet in the world, but if it were irrevocably lethal, baseball fans would have been dropping like flies for the greater part of the last century.
Part of the fun of going to the ballpark is the endearingly familiar food you'll find there, the very same food that was there when you were a kid. I know it's not good for me, but I love the stuff.
In Tucson, the lure of baseball emanates from Hi Corbett Field, home of our very own Tucson Toros. Intrigued by a rumor of seat-side waitress service, I moseyed on out to the ballpark one fair summer evening to see if the food there had kept pace with the times.
For food service, you must sit in the lower box seats, which will increase your ticket cost to eight bucks a person. Check the appropriate boxes on the handy yellow menu, wave it above your head, and theoretically, your waitress will take your order while you kick back to enjoy the game.
Sound good? I thought so too. But in reality, seat-side service is only feasible for those with teeny appetites and an inordinate amount of patience. This was not the case with our group, many of whom had rushed to the ballpark after a full day's work and were eagerly anticipating slaking a powerful thirst and a gnawing hunger.
As we made our selections, we little suspected we were in for a long and uncomfortable wait.
A sign that the times were a changin', perhaps, was that no one ordered the infamous hotdog ($2), instead opting for a grilled bratwurst ($3), as well as a few requests for the grilled chicken sandwich ($3.50). Our other options were a hamburger ($3), Polish sausage ($3) or a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza ($3).
The bratwurst was adequate, though completely unadorned and accompanied only by small packets of ketchup and mustard, which utterly failed to complement or elicit the brat's flavors. Where are the grilled peppers and onions when you need them?
The grilled chicken was surprisingly good, however, consisting of moist and lightly seasoned boneless breast meat served on a bun with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and mayonnaise.
There's no question that one of us could have walked to the concession stands and returned with food and drink at a faster pace than our server mustered. Nevertheless, we never had to budge from our seats.
Obtaining food and drink thus became a tricky balancing act. If we were truly hungry or thirsty, we decided it was easier to forget the seat-side service and make the trip ourselves.
As the evening wore on, however, the question became moot. Our waitress eventually lost all interest in us, and the most frequent view we had of her was her back and her blonde ponytail, which bobbed perkily as she conversed with her fellow male servers, who were equally impervious to the sea of yellow menus waving frantically below them.
We were forced at that point to take our pursuit of gluttony out to the various concession stands, where we feasted on cotton candy ($1), a soft pretzel ($2), nachos ($2.25), peanuts ($1) and a large lemon Eegee ($2). Disappointingly, there were no Baby Ruths or Butterfingers to be found.
Conclusions: (1) Ballpark food at Hi Corbett tends toward the typical; (2) Unless you're unable to move about freely, the seat-side service is more likely to annoy than satisfy; and, (3) Baseball remains an exemplary summer pastime.
The Tucson Toros' season continues through September 1. For ticket information, call 325-2651.

ATN's thermal monoculars are the most advanced and easy to use on the market. By combining the tiny size (87 mm x 56 mm x 50 mm) and weight (0.77lbs) of an ATN PVS14, one of the smallest traditional night vision monocular on the market, with ATN's powerful thermal imaging technology, this thermal imagining monocular allows the user unprecedented ease of use.
ATN's digital thermal monoculars come in a variety of formats designed to adhere to any budget or need, from cheap monoculars all the way to high end elite ones. They are also available in a variety of display configurations, ranging all the way to ultra high definition 800x600 display, with thermal sensors available up to a whopping 640x512.Beyond incredible resolution, this versatile device features video output to broadcast your surveillance or security footage for further analysis.
ATN's multipurpose thermal monoculars allow the user an unrivaled volume of applications, ranging from simple hunting, all the way to surveillance, security, and even battlefield application, all available in a multitude of style formats, display formats, and price formats.
Cheaper ATN thermal monoculars excel at hunting at the level that high end priced competitor products do, being able to reach distances of over 700 meters, allowing the hunter to see his prey before they even know they are there. This is ideal for hog hunting in pitch black night, where thermal vision allows you to see threw shrubbery and objects blocking your direct vision in ways standard digital night couldn't even dream of doing.
ATN thermal monoculars are also excellent for security and surveillance work, due to the high definition they view at, especially relative to other price comparable thermal monocular devices. The ODIN series of multipurpose thermal monocular has long been a favorite of security firms due to its price, low profile, and adaptability. The monocular is easily fitted to any long gun, as well as to a hat or helmet, all the while being able to do video output to get all data both to the operator of the device as well as to wherever it needs to go, be it to a hard drive, flash memory, or to another operator who is waiting to analyze the data as it transmits.These monoculars are also great for shooting and observational work, excelling at viewing clarity, as well as response time, perfect for scouting at night, or perfecting your night time aim.

Finding My Home On The Dance Floor
Photo taken by Vladimir Zaystev
In high school, all I ever did was talk about music. Metal, rock, indie – you name it, I loved it. I saved up all of my lunch money to go to concerts and shows every weekend in Chicagoland. I loved music, I loved seeing it live, but I never felt like I was at 'home.' I never felt completely comfortable in my own skin, and some light facebook stalking to my early high school days will show that.
Jump forward a few years to being 21. I had fallen in love with dance music by this time; I had even broken up with a boyfriend because of how much he hated it. I had gone to a good amount of concerts and raves but never an actual festival (with the exception of Warped Tour in my sc3ne kid days). Craving something bigger, five friends and I decided to say 'fuck it' and go to Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. Yes I'm about to be extremely cliche and say that walking into EDC made me feel like I was home, but it completely did.
We traveled 1800 miles, pinched every penny we could for months, and dressed up exactly how we wanted with no fear of judgement. We felt free. Walking through the tunnels into the Las Vegas Motor Speedway where you can first see all of the massive stages, carnival rides, and art installations from multiple stories up – the only word I can think of is 'magical.' There was no trace of insecurities or self doubt, only uncontained excitement for what we were about to witness.
The music was incredible, the people were even better. I spent all three days completely sober and dancing in the desert with what felt like 100,000 of my closest friends. I have to admit that I had rather poor taste in music at the time (I spent majority of the time at the main stage), but it was the experience that makes me look back so fondly at that weekend.
It's been four years since my first time under the electric sky and since then I've grown to consider myself a well-seasoned festival attendee, having gone to almost every festival the midwest has and making my rounds on the west coast as well. I've even grown a lot as a person and as a music listener, and now my tastes are definitely more towards the underground. Walking into Movement in Detroit, Michigan for the first time in 2015 made me feel the same amount of excitement and freedom that walking into EDC did back when I was younger. Movement had been a festival that I had dreamed about attending for years before I finally got to experience it, and it's one that I plan on being at every year that I am able to. While its a completely different world from most festivals, the cathartic freedom is still felt at every moment.
I'm at my happiest in the middle of a crowd, all grooving along to the same beat. I've met so many amazing people at shows/festivals from all across the globe, everyone with the same love and appreciation for dance music. Whether it's at EDC, Movement, or afters in my friend's kitchen that he turned into a mini music venue, it's my absolute favorite thing and I don't see myself slowing down anytime soon.

Wish I could go there sometime. I actually would like to go to the entire British Empire...which I am not sure if Ireland is part of it all. I have a Scots-Irish heritage, and love the bagpipes, and everything green.
I left a note in your Etsy shop about doll ning sites a while back, so I am just 'shooting the breeze' here, viewing your lovely photos of the ferns on your blog.
Take care,
Teresa in Cloth and Clay
and MAIDA

Justin Bieber has had a history with his fans and certain interactions- I think the last I heard was when he punched a dude for trying to get in his car window in Barcelona last November; check that out here.
This one a little different, as TMZ shows here. When a fan tries to get a little too close, a thirsty fans tend to do, he casually questions her respect level… and keeps eating whatever that is on a stick.
Not sure if that's progress and maturity, or if he was tired, but it was super chill. I just think that was the kind of chill she wanted from him.

Excellent films have been released in theaters over the past five years. But the best storytelling I've come across in the last half decade has all been on television. Once the graveyard of big screen talent, television has become one of the most compelling experiences in media. And Game of Thrones is the best show on television.
HBO's veteran fantasy drama will cross the now-narrow sea from small screen to the largest screens in advance of its 2015 return. IMAX screens across the country, including some in South Louisiana, will be screening Game of Thrones at the end of this month. It will be the first time ever for the company, which sells premium large format theatrical experiences, to show television content.
The two-hour event will feature two hour-long episodes from Game of Thrones season four, followed by a special season five sneak preview that's exclusive to IMAX. The tickets to the event go on sale tomorrow, Friday, January 16 here. The event begins on Thursday, January 29 and continues through February 5.
IMAX and HBO had originally scheduled the history-making event to kick off on January 23, but the tremendous response from social media encouraged the partners to expand the one-week engagement to more theaters.
If you live in South Louisiana, you can join me as I slam popcorn and Diet Coke at one of these three participating theaters:
AMC Baton Rouge 16 (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)
AMC Westbank Palace 16 (Harvey, Louisiana)
Grand 16 – (Slidell, Louisiana)
New theaters are being added everyday. And if you talk during my screening, remember those words from Arya Stark: "Valar Morghulis."
All men must die.

Building code enforcement officials are overwhelmed in Calaveras County despite the fact the county should have ample funds to do something about it, according to an interim Grand Jury report released late last week.
Thursday's report finds two code enforcement officers are drowning in a backlog of hundreds of complaints while "permit avoidance" becomes rampant since officers are too busy to crack down.
According to the report, the two positions are funded at $75,000 apiece, including salary, benefits and overhead costs. Meanwhile, the code actions taken by the officers generate about $240,000 annually, with those revenues directed into the county's general fund.
"It's like we're trying to paint the Golden Gate Bridge with a Q-Tip. You can't seem to get it all done," said Calaveras County Chief Building Official Jeff White. "We triage these things to do what we can in a way that will have the greatest benefit to public safety ... I understand the public's frustration."
The Grand Jury recommends the county dedicate the revenues generated by code compliance to hire an additional staffer to process complaints and coordinate efforts with other county land use departments.
"The excess is a "cash cow" for other County funding needs. These funds should be reserved only for improving the quality of County land use and its condition," the report states. "Additional Code Compliance Officers are needed."
White agreed that more hands on deck would be a great help. The department lost eight workers to layoffs in 2009, when revenues dropped sharply on the heels of the housing bubble burst, including four building inspectors and two code compliance officers.
"Catching up is going to take some time," he said. "I don't know if we can entirely ... we have to prioritize complaints right now."
The report also found that inconsistency in handling of the fines assessed against code violators encourages permit avoidance and other non-compliance.
Practice has created a maximum fine amount of $10,000 and increases in fines due to continued non-response are left to officers' discretion, the report states. The Grand Jury recommends a written policy be implemented and waiver of fees be a decision for the Assessment Appeals Board or Board of Supervisors instead of at the discretion of code officers.
White said violators are incurring "potential fines" and the ability to lower the totals when people cooperate encourages bringing matters into compliance.
"To have every fine be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors or something like that ... would probably just slow down the process," he said.
A further recommendation calls for greater cooperation between the Building Department and Assessor's Office to evaluate changes made to properties that can trigger re-assessments for tax purposes.

Meet Payroll Data
Born from humble beginnings and a desire to spend less time correcting manual payroll errors, duplicating data entry, recouping lost revenue from the IRS, and more time enjoying outside interests, a few guys from the Midwest got together and developed Payroll Data. With a collective fear that piles of paperwork surmounting their desks would lead to a guilty trail of deep carbon footprints, they knew there had to be a better way. As it happened…they were right.
Questioning led to innovation. Innovation led to genius. Genius led to expertise. Expertise led us here. And here we are. A better way.
Becoming a world-class leader of HCM solutions didn't happen overnight (despite what you may have heard). It's taken time to build the relationships, earn the respect, and adopt the right technology. For over 20 years, Payroll Data has been doing just that – perfecting a flexible, customizable HR solution. And, we have emerged a trusted, valuable partner to thousands of companies across the U.S.
Humble beginnings to proud achievements. We're Payroll Data, and it's nice to meet you.

Dip in enforcement as pollution incidents increase

The Agency's effectiveness in both tracking down and prosecuting offenders responsible for the worst pollution incidents also declined.

I know I would be over at your house in a heartbeat if you weren't clear across the country! I would just pay you monthly and pick up my basket of food for the week. Hmm...maybe you should start doing food baskets, meals for the week. I would totally sign up for it.
We once went the route of going to a place called Dream Dinner or something like that. You go and they have you put together the meals for the whole week. Great idea, but the meat wasn't 't all that great and of course the rest of the ingredients weren't all that fresh.
When you're ready to start your business, I'll be one of your first client.

Battery use on the Desire has had very mixed reports and I am one of those who struggles to get a full day out of a single charge. Slightly ironic really because when I had my Hero I was one those people "helping" others with pointless suggestions of how to save battery as I could easily get two days out of a charge.

September 20, 2012 - With more than 22 million military veterans living in the United States, nurses in any setting must be prepared to assesses their unique needs and properly refer or care for them. Yet even experienced mental health professionals often feel unprepared to help veterans with reintegration issues, according to the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, which has launched an initiative to better prepare nurses.Read More

ExperienceAs a teacher, I so often witnessed students struggling in group settings, only to grow by leaps and bounds when given individualized instruction. It's amazing to watch -- a student sits in class, frustrated and full of self-doubt, believing they can never grasp the material at hand...and then someone takes a closer look at them, sees what they're missing, and starts teaching. And that student finally, happily, excels.
In my years as a tutor and a teacher, I have worked very hard to be that "someone" who can look closely at a student, and help them learn. And after years of tutoring and experience in a Special Education setting, I can say that I become an excellent detective and an effective educator. I see the gaps in student understanding and I work effectively and efficiently to fill them.
These days, I continue to develop myself as an educator and as a person. I am finishing up my Masters in Elementary Education and Special Education at St Joseph's University, and I proudly founded this company, Tutor Delphia, to help connect students in the Philadelphia area with tutors who share my passion for the work.
I have always been mathematically-minded, and am most effective tutoring math concepts all the way up through Algebra 2, as well as various computer applications.
I love tutoring. I love connecting with students, and I love watching that light go on when a person finally "gets it." As a tutor, my greatest and happiest moments are when students work through confusion and misunderstanding to achieve aptitude, and most importantly, confidence.
Key Qualifications:
I have seven years of tutoring experience. I've tutored both for well known national companies and independently.
I received a 760 SAT Math score and a 740 SAT Verbal score.
I am a certified teacher with two years experience teaching math and computer literacy at a local middle/high school.
I have also been a volunteer tutor at Northern Home for Children and the Center for Literacy
I was the IT Manager for a local law firm for four years.
HobbiesI am an avid cyclist. I am also working on creating a math comic where students will learn about SAT Math while enjoying a fun story.

Key facts
Ambient images
Prior to uni_verso, Norbert Geelen had already penned the series 8200 Volpe – mainly designed to furnish upscale lounge areas – oozing the appeal of a classic sculpture. The extremely comfortable seat shell, available in two variations, can be mixed and matched with a variety of frames.
uni_verso, Volpe and the youngest family member Volpino.
Three series – one "patchwork family", Design by Norbert Geelen.
The matt surface comes in five harmonious, muted colours. An inconspicuous, hardly noticeable stripe pattern, tapered towards the back, adds a fine texture to the seat shell and at the same time makes sure that the user sits tight.
The seat shell is made of polypropylene: a high-grade plastic with ideal properties for contract seating: it is a hard-wearing material that is easy to clean and to disinfect. This plastic offers the advantage that the fibres can be evenly dyed. Even a flame inhibitor can be added to the plastic. The traffic white seat shell is flame retardant as standard. On top of this, this plastic can be moulded into a seat shell boasting a stable and sturdy thickness without losing its elasticity. When leaning back, you can experience the dynamic comfort this seat shell has to offer. Similar to a cantilever, you can rock slightly backwards and forwards. With optional upholstered seat and back pads, you can add colourful touches and even more comfort.
Good-looking design, muted shades, available with upholstered pads.
Volpino is a most elegant invitation to take a seat.
Practical coffee table.
Adding the right touch to all areas.
The sizeable dimensions make this series ideally suited for the furnishing of large rooms on the one hand and smaller waiting areas on the other hand. Volpino could be anywhere. Just to sum up a few possibilities: the variation with the central column is the ideal choice for reading rooms in libraries or for home offices; Volpino can also be a multi-purpose chair in start-up businesses, or even a 2 to 6 seater bench building cost-effective and space-saving bench configurations, for instance in airports. The practical coffee table is the finishing touch to any seating configuration. Series Volpino, Design by Norbert Geelen – the most elegant invitation to take a seat!

Sakura Trick Tricky Kissing Mayhem
- Categories: Anime, News
- Date: Feb 14, 2014 17:01 JST
- Tags: Image Gallery, Kissing, Moe, Sakura Trick, Schoolgirls, Yuri
The worst yuri anime i saw in my life
That's a very short life.
I think its ok. at least there is no xxx scenes unlike shojo sect which means sakura trick will have a chance of making it to the US.
I died and went to yuri heaven.
Wish they would just have sex already
It's episode 6. While we all know that's not gonna happen there is still room for more development.
they never get sex, its just a boring yuri anime with only innocent kisses and a sad story
You CAN NOT have sex in yuri situation EVER. What have "sex" are the TOYS and ONLY the toys.
I was hoping for a Mitsuki x Haruka kiss in the play. Anyway more lewd yuri kisses and love the small AKB48/K-On! parodies.
I'm just loving this show. Unapologetically yuri.
Can you please tell me how to make gif-omake?))
I'd tell ya, man, but i'm not sure. If you just want to make a quick one with free software, VirtualDub can output as animated gif. But then, it can only parse .avi and MPEG1 files, AFAIK. You'd have to install AVISynth for a workaround to open mp4, mkv, etc.
And even then, it's a really basic output. You'll see a lot of 'speckles' or a sort of posterization effect as the needed colors move out of the palette's starting range. I think, to get the high-quality gifs, there's some things going on like color reduction (i have seen 128-color gifs of animated source material), and i suspect there is some sort of palette switching or re-creating to diffuse those speckles. Not to mention the fancier programs keep the size down by only updating the needed areas in a frame.
Of course we all should be using MNG, or tiny embedded mp4s with HTML5. I'm not sure who to blame for that, but i'm gonna go with...eenh, let's say microsoft.
Google > how to make a gif, its not hard
All google-answers given quality is much worse than here.
All пщщпду-answers given quality is much worse than here.
I see some бнопня here! :-)
Photoshop isnt good, banding.
Scissor me timbers!
On a side note, I have yet to meet a girl with a handkerchief tied on her hair.
This show seriously needs ONE heterosexual person. Just one. One to say "lol wtf why am I surrounded by lesbians." or "you guys are freakin wack."
Y'know, someone who doesn't fit the EVERYONE IS LESBIANS mold this anime has going. And yes, I know it's a yuri anime.
Yuzu is straight as an arrow. That's her gimmick, the fact that she is completely oblivious to all the gay that surrounds her. Kaede is probably straight too, she's harder to read but doesn't seem to swing that way. That Kaede and Yuzu are actually just friends is their theme.
Otherwise assume everyone around them is heterosexual, including the girls in the student council and the teachers.
how does babby formed without penis?
The power of yuri.
This show seriously need more men. Sucks without someone actually interesting in the show.
If they had a man, they could even create a harem instead of this forced yuri crap.
Bad troll. No billy goat.
Huh? Troll? Just for liking something you don't like? Because I want this show to be hetero like it really should be and I want a harem I'm a troll?
Nice logic there. Guess I can't have my own opinion here.
i hate both yuri and yaoi animes. If you wanna put a couple or the mc as yuri/yaoi ok but you can't make only those kinds of ch.
While most have a legitimate beef with how fucking stupid most yaoi anime are, yuri anime has always been on that tier of where they are at the least bearable. It's only when they try to develop convoluted nonsense plots that they become just as shitty as yaoi - which is hardly ever.
However, people that actually want those gawddamn useless MC harem over a good yuri are seriously incompetent (& impotent) to say the least. Might as well let them get their 2 cents in because they certainly can't do it with any other part of their bodies.
Just in case you're serious, I shall explain.
You're not a troll because you like something that I don't like. You're a troll because this is a show you don't like, you *know* you don't like it, and yet you clicked on an article about it in order to tell everyone that you don't like the show, don't like yuri in general and that you want a harem show instead.
A non-troll would not click on articles about shows he didn't like. A non-troll would realize that most people don't give a flea's fart in a firestorm about what he did or didn't like, and that certainly the creators of the show are not going to change anything based on that opinion. A non-troll would not try to berate the people who did like a show for liking it.
If you don't like this show, don't watch it. There are plenty of harem shows out there for you to watch. A non-troll would be too busy watching what he liked, to be bitching uselessly about what he didn't.
That's why you're a troll, and why you're not even a particularly good troll at that. No billy goat for you.
Yes, troll. This is a Yuri anime, not Harem. By definition, even if there WOULD be a guy in it, he would get no nookie / the gals would still continue kissing each other and ignore him. Frankly speaking, if you really want a show to be hetero, you should go watch another show alltogether 'cuz your wants and opinions are shite in the face of the target demographic this show is aiming for.
there are countless harem anime with useless male leads and ST is like a breath of fresh air.
You wont have much success here. Most male supporters of lesbians and yuri stuff usually depict themselves as the sole male being accepted and allowed to partake. They don't realize that they effectively support getting rid of themselves and would never have any chance to get into things here.
Basically they're a more sorry crowd than rabbid yaoi fangirls. Fuck of male virgins, you'll never get any neither 2d nor 3d and especially no yuri/lesbian.
Guys nowadays are pathethic wimps who'll stay virgins till the day they day thus doing the genetic pool a favor by removing themselves or rather being removed for being so openly creepy. :D
"I can't handle anything that's not straight and doesn't pander to me! Waaaah! Where's my shitty bland MC self-insert!"
Some people just crave dicks...
They clearly prefer dicks. It is clearly said that the theme is yuri.
And this Anime perfectly fits the description, yet they always looking for dicks...

Gareth Southgate must buck the trend and abolish painful memories to succeed with England
IT was a balmy June evening at Wembley when Gareth Southgate stepped up to take the crucial penalty in the semi-final shoot-out against Germany.
The scores stood level at five-all – his was the first sudden-death penalty. And what happened next is etched all too painfully in English football's collective memory.
Southgate's weak effort was saved by Andreas Kopke, and his distraught trudge back to the halfway line epitomised the sense of impending heartbreak. Sure enough, Andreas Moller rammed home his spot-kick to send England out of Euro 96.
It ought to have been the tournament when 30 years of hurt was brought to an end. Instead it heralded 20 years of further mediocrity.
On Wednesday, a much happier Southgate was named as England's new permanent manager after four successful caretaker games in charge.
He is tasked with taking England to the finals of the 2018 World Cup and the 2020 European Championships two years later, and breaking the litany of despair that has dogged English football since that fateful night.
Gareth Southgate faces a huge task as England manager
A couple of things are already in his in-tray at St George's Park. Who will be Southgate's captain? The likelihood is it will be Liverpool's Jordan Henderson, who led the team against Spain and Slovenia.
And there is the question of off-field discipline, flagged up all too seedily by Wayne Rooney's escapades at the St George's Park wedding, and the visit of Henderson and Adam Lallana to a strip club during the last international break. It is understood the FA are reviewing the rules around behaviour on international duty.
The saga of England managers since that missed penalty is not a happy one. Immediately after Euro 96 Terry Venables left, plagued by various court cases, and Glenn Hoddle took over. Regarded by many as the best coach to have held the post, his win rate of 60 per cent is bettered only by Sir Alf Ramsey, Fabio Capello and Sam Allardyce, who had only one game in charge.
But his reign was dogged by controversy around the contributions of faith healer Eileen Drewery, and ended after an interview in which he suggested disabled people were being punished for sins in a former life.
Hoddle did though take the brave step of ending Paul Gascoigne's England career, and brought through several young players, including Manchester United youngster David Beckham.
Gareth Southgate was confirmed as England boss on Wednesday
His successor, Kevin Keegan, was a stark contrast. Accused of being tactically naive, he as good as held his hands up when he quit in the toilets after the last game at the old Wembley in October 2000, a World Cup qualifying defeat by Germany.
Sven-Goran Eriksson got England to three quarter-finals, but the Swede was criticised for his lack of passion and flexibility. But like Venables and Hoddle, it was off-field issues that principally ended his reign.
Derby boss Steve McClaren, another highly regarded coach, succeeded Erikssen but appeared to find the job too big, and was sacked after a Euro 2008 Wembley qualifying defeat by Croatia.
Fabio Capello was expensive and vastly experienced and with a good track record at club level across Europe when he was appointed in December 2007. But the Italian's regime was criticised as too restrictive, and on the field there was little inspiration.
A dismal 2010 World Cup saw last-16 humiliation by Germany. The FA stood by him, and he qualified England for Euro 2012, but quit in February of that year over the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.
The likes of Fabio Capello have failed with England in the past
So it was back to a renowned, experienced coach in Roy Hodgson, a man with a formidable reputation for organising teams. He did well at Euro 2012, but much less so at the 2014 World Cup, when England returned after just one win from four.
And that skill seemed to have deserted him at Euro 2016, when he did not seem to know his best team, or system. England were knocked out in the last 16 by Iceland.
Sam Allardyce's brief, shambolic reign, did not lighten the mood.
In his four games, Southgate has shown tactical flexibility and his team, particularly against Scotland, attacked fluently and pressed well, as they did against Spain until late defensive hesitation cost them the win.
He has to solve the Rooney conundrum – the apparent decline of the player who was once such a talisman – but in John Stones, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford he has the buds of a new generation.
At 46, he is still fresh. He is not a big name – though that is no guarantee of success – but rather a training-ground man. They, too, have failed in the past. He has to work out how to break the cycle.
