Nick Avilla helps the Cougars to edge the Hilltoppers.
Bishop Connolly got a long overdue taste of victory.
Helped by junior Nick Avilla's 23 points, the Cougars opened their season by edging Durfee 73-66 in their non-league match at sun-drenched Fall River Country Club.
Lowell Metiver, Connolly's new head coach and a former standout golfer at the school, said he had been told the Cougars had not won a match in three years.
Avilla birdied the third hole en route to his match-high point total. Paxton McLane (15 points) and Gage Levasseur (13), and Sam Fellows (12) also scored in double figures for Connolly.
Matt Mello (18 points), J.P. McDonald (13), Brian McDonald (12), and Logan Ferreira (10) were the top point producers for Durfee (0-2).
"This was our first win in a couple of years, and the kids are excited," Metivier said.
Avilla's birdie was helped by a favorable bounce. His tee shot on the par 3 third hole was pushed right into the trees at the side of the green. The ball ricocheted left, rolled onto the steep green, and stopped about three feet below the hole.
He confidently buried the putt.
On a team that falls under the heading of largely young and inexperienced (same for Durfee), Avilla will be expected to step up in matches and in practice.
"He's a good leader. He leads by example," Metivier said. "He's played quite a bit of golf. It's good for the other kids to watch him.
"They can certainly look up to someone like him. He plays out of New Bedford Country Club. And he plays some New England junior events, so he has some competition under his belt. He's mature and should be instrumental in getting this program pointed in the right direction."
Cameron Swainamer and Owen Marshall combined to give the Cougars their final 10 points.
Zach Strong (8 points), Connor Lapointe, Chace Mercer, and Charlie Martin rounded out the Durfee scoring.

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms that include
Alternative Names
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by different disorders that damage the kidneys. This damage leads to the release of too much protein in the urine.
The most common cause in children is
This condition can also occur from:
- Cancer
- Diseases such as
diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis
- Genetic disorders
- Immune disorders
- Infections (such as strep throat, hepatitis, or
- Use of certain drugs
It can occur with kidney disorders such as:
- Focal and
segmental glomerulosclerosis Glomerulonephritis
- Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Nephrotic syndrome can affect all age groups. In children, it is most common between ages 2 and 6. This disorder occurs slightly more often in males than females.
Swelling (
- In the face and around the eyes (
facial swelling)
- In the arms and legs, especially in the feet and ankles
- In the belly area (
swollen abdomen)
Other symptoms include:
- Foamy appearance of the urine
Poor appetite Weight gain (unintentional)from fluid retention
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Laboratory tests will be done to see how well the kidneys are working. They include:
Albuminblood test
- Blood chemistry tests such as
basic metabolic panelor comprehensive metabolic panel Blood urea nitrogen(BUN) Creatinine - blood test Creatinine clearance - urine test Urinalysis
Fats are often also present in the urine. Blood
Tests to rule out various causes may include the following:
Antinuclear antibody Cryoglobulins Complement levels Glucose tolerance test Hepatitis B and C antibodies
- HIV test
Rheumatoid factor Serum protein electrophoresis(SPEP)
- Syphilis serology
Urine protein electrophoresis(UPEP)
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
- Vitamin D level
Serum iron Urinary casts
The goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and delay
- Keep blood pressure at or below 130/80 mmHg to delay kidney damage. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the medicines most often used. ACE inhibitors may also help decrease the amount of protein lost in the urine.
- You may take corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress or quiet the immune system.
- Treat high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel problems. A low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is usually not very helpful for people with nephrotic syndrome. Medications to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides (usually statins) may be needed.
- A low-salt diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills (diuretics) may also help with this problem.
- Low-protein diets may be helpful. Your health care provider may suggest eating a moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day).
- You may need
vitamin Dsupplements if nephrotic syndrome is long-term and not responding to treatment.
- Blood thinners may be needed to treat or prevent blood clots.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome varies. The condition may be
Some people may eventually need dialysis and a kidney transplant.
Possible Complications
Acute kidney failure Atherosclerosisand related heart diseases Chronic kidney disease
- Fluid overload,
congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema
- Infections, including pneumococcal
- Malnutrition
Renal vein thrombosis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of nephrotic syndrome
- Nephrotic syndrome does not go away
- New symptoms develop, including
cough, decreased urine output, discomfort with urination, fever, severe headache
- Sores on the skin
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have
Treating conditions that can cause nephrotic syndrome may help prevent the syndrome.

Great article, Ethan. _
However, I still can't believe webkit hasn't incorporated a way to specify pixel coordinates in the start/stop positions. This makes it really hard to specify a gradient for a page background where you don't know the height of the body element. You can of course use a container element with a set height, but that just contributes to divitus, and doesn't need to happen.

Furniture Layout & Advice for Dorm Room?
Q: I've been lucky enough to get a position as a resident adviser in a student dorm, and I was looking for tips on how to set up my place. Specifically, should I buy a couch? If I did, I think I would be forced to block the non-functional fireplace, as I don't see where else I would put it without compromising easy passage though the room…
Sent by Isobel
…My other option is to buy one or two armchairs. Also, I feel like my room is very lopsided: the bulk of my belongings are on one end of the room. I'd love to hear some opinions on how to fix this without blocking the entrance or the bedroom door.
I'm open to any and all other suggestions as well! I'm saving a lot of money by living here, so I have a larger budget to devote to decorating.
Editor: I think a sofa is a great idea — and it will help make a welcoming environment for your residents. Right now, everything is pushed up against the exterior walls and there is no focal point. The addition of a sofa and rug in front of the fireplace could be the focal point your looking for.
Who has suggestions for Isobel?

"Nigeria's Saheed Adepoju is a young man with big dreams. He is the inventor of the Inye, a tablet computer designed for the African market. According to the 29-year-old entrepreneur, his machine's key selling point is its price - $350 opposed to around $700 for an iPad. He believes that, because of this, there is a big market for it in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, particularly amongst students. He is also hoping to sell his tablet - which runs on the Google Android operating system - to the Nigerian government and plans to have at least one computer in each local government area." Mobile phones have had a huge impact on Africa, so just imagine what tablets, with their larger screens and easier access to the web, can do. Amazing initiative.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker College baseball team's 28-0 victory over Claflin University on Tuesday (Mar. 11) not only marked the team's 12th victory of the season, it also marked another coaching milestone for head coach Dave Schmotzer. With the win, Schmotzer earned his 600th victory at Coker.
The Cobra skipper now holds a record of 600-451-2 in 22 seasons of leading the Navy and Yellow. Included in those 600 victories are seven conference championships, two region championships and two trips to the College World Series.
Prior to coming to Coker, Schmotzer was the head coach at Union College in Kentucky for three seasons, and during his 25-year tenure he has amassed a career record of 685-491-2.
Coach Schmotzer and the Cobras will look to add to his win total this weekend when they host the Carson-Newman Eagles in a three-game South Atlantic Conference series on Friday (Mar. 14) and Saturday (Mar. 15). First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday.

The New Pierre?
Has Pierre Poilievre been replaced? Normally, the last Member Statement, just prior to the beginning of Question Period, Pierre would stand and offer an attack on Dion and the Liberals. This tactic has gone on for quite some time, Pierre the attack dog, trying to throw off the Liberals before their questions.
Today, no Pierre, instead Harper went literally to the backbench (he can touch the curtains) and brought out rookie MP Dean Del Mastro from Peterborough to do the requisite Liberal bash prior to QP. I must say, pretty effective too, Del Mastro read off his paper so intently, it looked like it hurt.
The bigger question, has Pierre been turfed as primary attack dog? I suppose, it could be something as understandable as still having the cone on his head from being neutered last week, but still....

Pierre is still answering on the In and Out.
Del Mastro has been used as an attack dog for some time now. (I'll leave it to you if he resembles as specific breed.)
He's as weird as Poilievre, but not as bright.
I suspect you're right though. Pierre will likely lay low this final week.

Oh Steve... Del Mastro is one hell of a piece of work... oh the stories I have about this man and his style from my days living in Peterborough. He's one of the major reasons I ran for the NDP's Federal Nomination in Peterborough last year. If the Conservatives are so "deep" in talent that they have to resort to him, then that just says so much by itself.

Being "off" is in for this Con caucus. It was just funny, that the government was reduced to the back row to find their voice. If this doesn't work out, can they use a Page?

Check the update in this post of mine last week. I tell one of my Del Mastro stories. Pierre and Dean have more in common than just being in the same caucus.

Dean Del Mastro instead of Pierre?
I'll raise you two Karen Redman's and a Joe Volpe!

- 10:49 PM, June 16, 2008

I actually don't mind Redman. The difference, Volpe is buried on the Liberal side, while the Cons are forced to bring another b actor to the forefront. If Volpe was a Conservative he might be in line for foreign affairs ;)

Whooee! DelMastro was on Duffy last week. I don't email big firstname.lastname@example.com much on accounta the big snob never emails back. When Duff was supposedly moderating, DelMastro was the worst interrupter I've ever seen on MDL. I sent a message to Duff's famous Blackberry and urged him to moderate and told him that Del was his absolute worst guest ever.
He seems to be every bit as stoopid as Poilievre but much more rude.

Nintendo Fans Hijack Twitter Hash Tag Meant For Nintendo Of America CEO And Are Promptly Ignored
from the it's-called-connecting-with-fans dept
I am not sure what Fils-Aime had in mind for this Twitter promotion, but the fans were expecting a conversation. You can really see this when you take a look at the history of the #Regginator hash tag on Twitter. Many of the fans took the time to answer the questions asked and even to ask questions of their own. One prominent theme running over this event was that of a project called 'Operation Rainfall'. This group is dedicated to convincing Nintendo of America to release a number of popular JRPG titles in America, most of which already have English translations as they are sold in England.
Nintendo, sadly, is deaf to these requests. They have made it pretty clear that those games will not be seen in the States. On top of this, the Wii is region locked and games imported from Europe are not playable on American Wiis. In response, a number of blogs and gaming sites around the web have taken the task of teaching people how to mod their Wii consoles to bypass region locks and play these games. In the process, this exposes a lot of Wii users to the ability to not only play imported games, but also homebrew and potentially pirated games.
Ignoring all of this is not how you connect with fans. It is also not how you meet the needs of underserved customers. By ignoring fans of the Wii, not only on Twitter but for many months prior, Nintendo is risking more customers modding consoles, which we all know they hate. My advice for Nintendo is to actually connect with fans and listen to what they want. It might find some cool ideas that will increase sales -- especially when you claim that your top exec is going to be communicating on Twitter.

WiT Genie LED Lamp Daybreak Gold BenQ Online Store Europe
WiT Genie's Smile Curve Technology offers a 90cm light range, 150% wider over traditional lamps to create an expansive illuminated area, while also achieving the illuminance of 1800 lux. So you can say goodbye to eye-strain and glare.
WiT Genie's wider range will give complete illumination to your desk. The range is wide enough to light up a full-spread newspaper making it perfect for today's multi-tasking and multi-screen world. Imagine every corner of your desk being lit up with an evenly-distributed and comfortable illumination. Even at the edge of the illuminated area WiT Genie can achieve 500 lux.
As other desk lamps' unstable lighting could harm your eyes, BenQ WiT Genie aims to provide a constant and flicker-free illumination. The oscilloscope testing shows WiT Genie with flicker-free LED driver IC, has a stable electronic output to provide stable comfortable light (below). Other LED lamps with non-continuous electronic output do not provide flicker-free light (above).
WiT Genie also has a smart built-in memory feature; it can save the last light setting used so you don't need to adjust the setting every time you turn on the WiT Genie.
In the era of e-Reading, your eyes are under the threat of glare and distracting reflections. BenQ WiT Genie's intelligent e-Reading mode is here to help. By activating this mode, WiT Genie provides the most suitable lighting to balance the ambient illumination giving you the most comfortable screen reading experience.
We have been welcoming the second era of reading, where reading across various screens has become the dominant medium through which people read. While reading on screens brings convenience and entertainment, the needs for appropriate lighting for screen reading have never really been met.
Contrast glare and reflection glare are two types of digital screen glare. Contrast glare happens when you use a screen in a dark environment, the contrast of a dark background and a bright screen causes glare. And reflection glare results from specular reflection of high brightness on polished screen surfaces.
Contrast glare and reflection glare caused by unadjusted lighting creating discomfort for the reader's eyes, WiT Genie's intelligent e-Reading mode is specially designed to reduce glare when you're reading on screens.
To activate the intelligent e-Reading mode, simply touch the control ring for about 2 seconds and then the LED light will adjust to the environment providing the perfectly adjusted lighting for your screen reading needs.
With just one touch on the control ring to activate the e-Reading mode, the built-in ambient sensor detects the present illumination in the reading environment and adjusts accordingly. This intelligent lighting is specially designed to compensate and balance for light coming from the centre of the illuminated area, such as your computer screen or laptop, thus our "brighter at the sides, darker in the middle" design. This creates a completely even lighting spread, providing you with boosts in visibility and efficiency while reducing different types of glare and eye-strain.
WiT Genie has a wide colour temperature spectrum ranging from 2700K-5700K, so you can choose the best colour tone to meet your reading needs.
Colour temperature is a characteristic of visible light; the temperature of light is measured in Kelvins and it is often described as a "mood" setter by interior designers. A lower temperature will give the illuminated area a more relaxed orange glow, while higher temperatures provide a brighter, crisp and stimulating lighting environment.
With one click of the tactile dial, you can switch between the two temperature ranges (Cool and Warm Colour); with one more click you can begin to adjust the intensity of the light temperature within that range.
Click here to view how the W, I and T actually work and how they can provide the best lighting for you.
WiT Genie has a ball-joint to optimise the flexibility of the lamp cap and the highly durable torque springs and precise friction control can counter-balance the weight. So you can easily adjust the LED light to the angles that you need.
WiT Genie Height to the desk surface: 35 cm~50 cm
A. Flicker-free LED driver IC offers constant and even lighting
B. Ambient light sensor detects environment illumination
C. Curved light guide module to widen the illumination area
D. Adjustable dual colour LED for warm or cool colour temperature. The LED passing the IEC/EN 62471 Photo-biological safety does not harm your eyes.
While chasing the best lighting solution for the modern world, going green has always been in the creators' minds.
All BenQ WiT Genie materials meet the restrictions in the EU Directive, RoHS (2002/95/EC). The WiT Genie has passed international safety standards certification to ensure your safety.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Danny Berger and Preston Medlin scored 11 points each and provided vital offense down the stretch to lead Utah State to an 80-78 overtime victory against Santa Clara on Wednesday night.
Medlin's 3-point shot with three seconds left in regulation forced the extra session, and his shot from behind the arc gave the Aggies (4-1) a four-point lead that Berger helped protect with three free throws in the last 54 seconds.
Still, the Broncos (5-1) had a chance, as Evan Roquemore's 3-pointer with 12 seconds left made it 79-78. After Berger made 1 of 2 from the line, Roquemore aimed for the win from 3-point range, but his shot missed at the buzzer.
Kevin Foster had 27 points and made five 3-pointers for Santa Clara. Roquemore added 23 points.
Jarred Shaw scored 15 points before fouling out late in regulation for Utah State, which shot 56 percent (28 of 50) from the floor. Kylsean Reed had 11 points, including a dunk that gave the Aggies a 79-75 cushion with 23 seconds left in overtime.

Hello everyone on Just Bento! I'm a 21 year old student from Singapore, and am looking forward to picking up a cooking tip or two here. Really not trying to be modest here, but my cooking skills have been really non-existent before I came upon JustHungry.com and JustBento.com, have even burnt some of my Mom's pots and nearly the kitchen on one occasion. But i'm determined to learn. Cooking is a fun experience!
I haven't really made a proper bento (like the whole enchilada) as yet, but I'll be making them soon since it's friendlier to the pocket and healthier for the tummy than eating out. =)
Hi there. We have all burnt a pot or two, so nothing odd about that.
We hope you find the forum useful; feel free to ask about anything you need to know.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Welcome! My friends from Singapore tell me it is a food lover's heaven. Looking forward to seeing your bento lunches!
Hi Ms. Tofu, and welcome!
Whenever someone mentions burnt pots, I can't help showing this:
(the post about it is here.)
And I have the gall to run not one but two food blogs! ha!
From kitchen mishaps a good cook is made. ^_^

- Wherever you go, there you are. -
That's not your cooked to death peppers is it? I have burnt that THREE TIMES. After not burning anything for years and years - I'm too scared to cook it now unless I'm cooking something else at the same time and know I will stay in the kitchen looking at it.
no it's a pot of wine sauce, 'cooked' for about, oh 5 hours...
Welcome! :)
Maki, that's impressive! ;)

Hehe, Claymore is my No. 1 too and I actually didn't mind Lackey at all... Hell, he was the key component of some of my favourite scenes, and I would even go as far and say I liked him, apart from a couple of scenes (oh, and I am not even considering the utterly butchered ending a worthwhile part of the series). And I'm one to typically hate this kind of charachter (Sakura in the beginning of Naruto and Orihime in the later parts of Bleach make me nauseous, and I did not like the kid in Seirei no Moribito). And if you didn't hate young Clare for the exact same reasons, then you are a hypocrite.

Poeple should understand that something can be VERY GOOD and yet an intelligent tasteful person doesn't get what's so good about it ..
I can't bilieve someone mentioned FMA. I don't like European themed animes, I'm not into supernatural (or whatever that genre is), nor into cyborgs and automails and all that kind of stuff .. and the show is by far the second (or third) best thing I've seen.

For me it's Naruto and Bleach. I watched quite a lot of both of them, and they just seemed to not go anywhere in my opinion. Both not exactly my so called cup of tea.

I dont really HATE any series I've seen, but in terms of series I haven't felt were that great yet seem massively popular I'd go with these:
Death Note - should have ended with L's Death, the second half of the series nosedived in terms of how interesting and fun it was, and the new protaganist/antagonists depending on your PoV were...well....a bit rubbish.
Gurren Lagaan - I was expecting a really funny show, with amazingly over the top lines, and just a load of fun. I got a show that bored me, felt a bit pointless and I finished for completions sake.
Fate Stay Night - I enjoyed some of this, but it felt drawn out and was just overall a bit unfulfilling. Shirou didnt really have a huge amount going for him in terms of charisma either.
Oh and although no one seemed to like it much I'll say Aquarion too because that really was balls, and probably one of the worst animes I've seen. The characters are mostly unlikeable and it just felt like a mess.
Likeable, interesting characters, or just sheer pizzazz or decent story telling kinda make a series in my mind.

Kekkaishi - I really thought I would like it at first. From all the awards it got to friend recommending, and the recent television. However when I did it just turned into a Inuyasha/Bleach ripoff, with a female protagonist I haven't hated so much since Meg from Burst Angel. Did I mention the opening sounds like the singer is screaming bloody murder? She sounds like she is screaming bloody murder.
Chaos;Head - Another one I had high hopes for, but by god it screwed itself over in the end of it all. "You don't exist" idea made me want to drop it, but then when it turned out to act like a typical cliche ending I wanted to punch myself for watching it in the first place.
Rosario + Vampire - It's just more moe/fanservice junk that's on the pile of trash anime I reserve no respect over.

Definetly Suzumiya Haruhi - I have lost count on how many times I have almost fallen asleep. What's so funny about it? I didn't find a single funny moment in whole series! The story is boring and characters are two dimensenal. One ic completly un-emotonal, another only squels, 3rd one... I ahve no idea how to describe him. Only Kyon and Asakura seem to be more that that.
I will be quiet about Haruhi... how can someon actually like that spoiled brat? All she does is being selfish and doesn't really give a damn about anyone. And everyone are just spoiling her even more! Good thing that at least someone has brains aka Kyon.
Not really hating it but Gurren Lagan also was one huge dissapointment! The series were just too dumb. They did have some good moments but over all nothing special at all. Why it is called the greatest series of life time is beyond me.
Also School Rumble, I didn't handle it. The humor was also way too dumb for my liking. at first it was fine but soon it got over used.
Bleach is my another big dissapointment. Used to like series but now it is just crap. Will completly abondon it after some good moments will be animated. I acn't believe that people are so easily won over. Show them something flashy and they completly forget about logic...

The only character who really interested me was Asakura, if there was more of her, show might have been better.
I even will take a look at the movie only because of her and the fact that this time around idea seemed far more entertaining. Maybe Haruhi should become a drama instead of comedy? It probably would be more succesful.

I assume you've read all the threads on the anime series on the philosophy, science fiction, archetype subversion, physics, etc ... if if it is still not interesting to you I'd say move on. I have to scratch my head as to why Asakura would be more interesting while the others weren't but this isn't the thread for that (so no, don't answer that ).

Spoiler for School Rumble:
That being said, I must admit I rather dislike Funimations's translation of the series. Can't think of which parts off the top of my head, but I definitely remember thinking that some of the jokes I remember from the fansub version got lost in the Funimation translation.

NC man knocked unconscious after running over girlfriend
NC man knocked unconscious after running over girlfriend
Northampton County deputies say a family member of a woman intentionally hit by her boyfriend's SUV beat the boyfriend unconscious.
Investigators told the Daily Herald of Roanoke Rapids that 58-year-old Ray Broady has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury after the incident last week.
Deputies found both Broady and his girlfriend unconscious at a Garysburg home. Authorities say the couple had been arguing for a while when Broady got in a Ford Explorer and ran over the woman.
Deputies say members of the woman's family then beat Broady up. Both are expected to survive.
It wasn't known if Broady had a lawyer.

Famous magician Criss Angel revealed that he's been dealing with a very personal and serious matter–his nearly 2-year-old son is battling cancer. Upon hearing the news, fans shared their well wishes and positive words with the star, who took a second to give thanks for their "outpouring of love."
Taking to Twitter Monday, Angel posted a snapshot of himself and girlfriend Shaunyl Benson and their son, Johnny Crisstopher Sarantakos, lying down after day four of his chemotherapy. Angel wrote, "4th day chemo-Shaunyl, Johnny & I can't thank u enough for the overwhelming outpouring of love,prayers&support #amazing."
The lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosis first came to light when Angel (whose real name is Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos) had posted on social media last week that, in light of a "family emergency," he was postponing some news he'd planned to announce.
Meanwhile, the Luxor confirmed that he has canceled his shows through Nov. 1, the first time he's missed any dates of his nearly 3,000-performance run at the hotel.
"For many years, Criss has championed and raised money for various children's charities here in Las Vegas, but he never thought it would hit this close to home," a Cirque du Soleil colleague told the The Las Vegas Sun. "This is a very personal family crisis."
Angel initially posted a picture of himself holding his little boy (which became the first time the 47-year-old "Believe" star confirmed that he's a dad) and tweeted, "Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Criss."

(A)sexual is an eye-opening look into the lives of people all over the country who don't experience what so many of us take for granted: sexual attraction. Facing a sex obsessed culture, a mountain of stereotypes and misconceptions, and a lack of social or scientific research, asexuals – a growing population of people who experience no sexual attraction – struggle to claim their own identity, living without those feelings that the rest of us consider to be so natural.

(A)sexual follows the growth of a community that experiences no sexual attraction. In 2000, David Jay came out to his parents. He was asexual and was fine with it. And he was not alone. Studies show that 1% of the population is asexual. But in a society obsessed with sex, how do you deal with life as an outsider? Combining intimate interviews, vérité footage, and animation with fearless humor and pop culture imagery, David and our four other characters grapple with this universal question, and the outcomes might surprise you.

There are engagement sessions, and then there are engagement sessions photographed by Sara Weir. And this beauty we're about to dive into is the latter. She has a natural way with the camera and captured this California e-sesh in all its dreamy glory. Believe me when I say your Friday morning just got a whole lot prettier.
From Sara Weir... Engagements are some of my very favorite sessions! It's so easy to create something beautiful with two people so in love with each other. Add two beautiful locations, amazing light, and a romantic gown and it's a dream! For the first location, I knew I had to take advantage of the beautiful wildflowers. The wildflowers in California are just out of the world this summer and I'm so glad we were able to really take advantage of them.
I'm so happy for these two and cannot wait for their upcoming wedding!

Best of Spring 2013
The Eccentric Family
Runner-up(s): Attack on Titan, Silver Spoon
Special mention(s) - These series may not have won an award from me but I feel they should be mentioned because they were enjoyable in their own right : Servant x Service (overall enjoyable series), Gatchaman Crowds (that OST, 'nuff said), and A Certain Scientific Railgun S (loved the story, animation, characters, etc.)
Decision/selection process - Like I've said before, making these decisions weren't easy as I watched almost everything this season. Besides that, I had to try REALLY hard not to confuse what my favorites were and what I believe to be the best. That being said, I feel pretty solid in most of my choices. As much as I enjoy Attack on Titan, The Eccentric Family deserves to be called the best of this season in my humble opinion. I loved how each episode we unlocked a little part of the magnificent story that was being told until we got to the last episode. Thus, I also believe it deserves the best story. Best Animation was really tough for me because there were a lot of series with amazing visuals. In the end, it was between Sunday Without God's beautiful ethereal visuals and Attack on Titan's gritty style. I really wanted to give it to Attack on Titan but I decided to go with Sunday Without God mainly because I believe it deserved some type of recognition. If anything, Attack on Titan definitely deserves to win best Cinematography of the year. That being said, Attack on Titan was easily the best action series this season. It also had the best Ending of the season as well. WataMote definitely had the best Opening. When judging opening and endings, I don't just judge the song but also other factors like the OP/ED sequence, animation, lyrics of the song, does it get you pumped? factor, etc. Silver Spoon was an easy choice for best Drama/Slice of Life series. I loved that series and it did an amazing job. Hachiken from Silver Spoon gets my nod for best male character of the season mainly because of his growth throughout the series. It was nice to see his character grow throughout each episode and I enjoy seeing that kind of development. And because of those same reasons, I gave my nod for best female character to Yura from C3. This may seem like an odd choice but Yura's character probably changed and grew the most of any character I've seen this season. I wanted so badly to vote for Tomoki from WataMote because she's definitely my favorite but I had to be honest and give it to Yura. And of course Senyu got the best nod for Short Series because it's just hilarious to me. On the subject of hilarious, WataMote was the best comedy to me. I wanted to vote for Servant x Service but WataMote made me laugh more. If you actually stuck around to read all of this, I thank you and you should pat yourself on the back. I'll buy you a drink sometime. Possibly.
My own Personal awards/categories I wish to present :
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I'd first like to say that I would have personally liked to see Slice of Life and Drama in their own separate categories. I would have given Best Drama to The Eccentric Family and Best Slice of Life to Silver Spoon. That being said, let's get on to some other awards I just feel like giving out.

I imagine we can vote for series like Attack on Titan and A Certain Scientific Railgun S as well, correct?
Correct. I didn't have those series in the initial post but they are edited in now
Ayaya! Ayaya!
Why can't we vote for Senyuu 2, but can vote for Tekyuu 2?
I am so torn... this is like choosing between two of your children... Senki Zesshou Symphogear G and Rozen Maiden Zuruckspulen! I just got BD volume 1 of Symphogear G yesterday with OST1 and I got the Rozen Maiden OST yesterday (already have the first two BDs).
I had this mostly for Rozen Maiden but I am switching it today...
Best Story: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G
I loved the story this season, from beginning to end! The stories of Dr. Ver's betrayal, friends torn apart and coming back together again, both sides thinking they are right but really aside from Dr. Ver having the same goal. So many cliffhangers. So good!
Best Animation: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G
The transformation sequences, fights, the Noise, such amazing animation!
Best OP: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G, "Vitalization" Nana Mizuki
Nana Mizuki is a J-pop and seiyuu superstar and songs like Vitalization are the reason why! So much energy from the start! Such a great range she has! Tsubasa Kazanari is such a great character for her and singing in character she does so well.
Best ED: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G - Next Destination - Ayahi Takagaki
This season of Symphogear had a cliffhanger practically every week and as soon as the anime version of Next Destination came on, you knew it was over and yet the song is so good, such an amazing build up that I enjoyed hearing it every time and absence made the heart grow fonder as the ED was often cut out to avoid RIAA/DCMA since no one properly licensed this show...
Best Comedy: Teekyuu 2
Lots of competition in this category with the zany fast paced comedy of Teekyuu 2, the cringe worthy laughs of Watamote, all the office and relationship humor of Servant x Service, Love Lab, Genshiken, but for now I have to give it to Teekyuu 2 though the others are so good I could still change my mind and they are great honorable mentions if nothing else. Teekyuu 2 just gives you 100 laughs/second so it is hard to beat.
Best Action: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G
Senki Zesshou Symphogear G with the gear user fights, Noise and Nephilim!
Best Drama/Slice of Life: Genshiken Nidaime
Such a wonderful story and show for college level slice of life with fujoshi, BL, gaijin, so many laughs and tears too with their relationships.
Best Short Series (3-5 minutes episode length): Teekyuu 2
100 laughs/second, Teekyuu 2 is the king of shorts even if there is very little tennis done by the tennis club.
Best Male Character: Dr. Ver
Dr. Ver, so waaay over the top, such a campy villain!!!
Best Female Character: Hibiki Tachibana
So many cliffhangers in Symphogear where I thought she was a goner. Even after losing her gear she heads out into battle, gotta love her!
Best of Summer 2013: Senki Zesshou Symphogear G
Just great overall! Great action, suspense, story, cliffhangers, characters, animation, music, voice acting, beautifully done, emotional! I can watch it over and over and listen to the discs over, and over, and over! I Love it!
attack on ttan
Best Story: A Certain Scientific Railgun S
--Impressed me greatly and changed my opinion of the author of the source material. J. C. Staff was able to turn A Certain Magical Index's jumbled mess of a plot into an intricate and well-thought-out timeline. Because of that, it hit home hard every episode during the Sisters Arc.
Best Animation: Attack on Titan
--I know that there are lots of flaws I could list about the animation, but it was such a unique experience to see, especially the Female Titan/Plains episodes.
Best OP: How May I Help You? (めいあいへるぷゆー?) by Ai Kayano, Mai Nakahara, and Aki Toyosaki - Servant x Service
--Lots of fun, plus surprisingly complicated instrumentation underlying what sounds like a simple song at first. Very reflective of the nature of an office comedy.
Best ED: Great Escape by cinema staff - Attack on Titan (Neptunia was so close, though)
--A Japanese rock band I actually like? Yes, please.
Best Comedy: Hyperdimension Neptunia
--Never has moe been so awesome, and never has awesome been so moe. I loved everything about this show.
Best Action: Attack on Titan
--Not even up for debate.
Best Drama/Slice of Life: Silver Spoon
--The Eccentric Family and Silver Spoon are very similar, and deal with the eat-or-be-eaten theme. While The Eccentric Family was definitely more interesting and had more things to say, Silver Spoon was much more effective and heartfelt.
Best Short Series (3-5 minutes episode length): Senyu 2
--Every episode is hilarious. It accomplishes in 4 minutes what a lot of comedies fail to do in 23.
Best Male Character: Keima Katsuragi (The World God Only Knows: Goddesses)
--Keima is a complex and awesome character. You can relate to him, and at the same time not have a clue what he's thinking or going to do next. One of the only harem leads that deserves a harem.
Best Female Character: Mikoto Misaka (A Certain Scientific Railgun S)
--Definitely not my 2D crush or anything
Best of Summer 2013: A Certain Scientific Railgun S
--I liked every episode. It was never boring, and it was never overly heavy-handed in saying what it needed to say. *coughAoTcough* The characters are very well-written and the setting is such that any kind of story could be told and not feel out of place. It takes a lot for a show to accomplish that.
Well, time for edit number 7. It doesn't effect first place though.
The official winners:
Best Story: A Certain Scientific Railgun S (this started with my favorite arc from the Index series (Accelerator level 6) from Misaka's perspective. The next arc is looking amazing as well)
Best Animation: Stella Women's Academy (Yura's fantasies give this the win)
Best OP: Ro-kyu-bu SS with Get Goal (I get pumped listening to it and it matches the anime)
Best ED: None
Best Comedy: Servant x Service (the comedy makes it so awesome)
Best Action: Railgun S (it's well animated and NOT DRAMATICALLY BLOODY LIKE AOT)
Best Drama/Slice of Life: Ro-Kyu-Bu SS (the effort to make a full 10-player team won me over)
Best Male Character: Yutaka Hasebe (Servant x Service) ("Yay! I got her e-mail address!")
Best Female Character: Riko Kurahashi (Love Lab) (I'm quite fond of the boyish personality. Plus, she's pretty darn cute!)
Best of Summer 2013: Servant x Service (The comedy level trumps everything)
2nd place:
Best Story: Sunday Without God (would have been better if God's abandoning the world had more focus)
Best Animation: Sunday Without God (can't really explain)
Best OP: Secrets of the Goddess (World God Only Knows) (it's catchy. That's always a plus)
Best ED: None
Best Comedy: Love Lab (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmpDp2Lae6U&feature=share This is all you need to know)
Best Action: Stella Academy (great to use in American politics with the lack of background checks. That aside, the seriousness of winning is prevalent)
Best Drama/Slice of Life: World God Only Knows (Keima practically conquered Chihiro when Chihiro was the wrong target. Not only that, Chihiro fell in love with Keima for real. How's that for a plot twist?)
Best Male Character: Keima Katsuragi (World God Only Knows) ("This time, I will be the one that is conquered!!!")
Best Female Character: Chihiro Kosaka (World God Only Knows) (Chihiro falling for Keima for real won me over)
Best of Summer 2013: Love Lab ("My brain is shaped like a bra, and my heart is a thooooooooooooooooooooong!!!")
3rd place:
Best Story: Servant x Service (strange, I know, but I do have my reasons)
Best Animation: A Certain Scientific Railgun (this series has the animation working. It ain't broken, so they don't fix it)
Best OP: May I Help You? by the girls of the show (Servant x Service) (it's strangely addicting) Honorable Mention for Eternal Reality by FripSide (A Certain Scientific Railgun). Don't mess with FripSide.
Best ED: None
Best Comedy: World God Only Knows ("This time, I will be the one that is conquered!!!")
Best Action: Gatchaman Crowds (The only reason why this beat Attack on Titan was because, despite the funky animation, IT WASN'T OVERLY BLOODY!!!)
Best Drama/Slice of Life: Love Lab (Despite how Maki's father is erotic underwear, there is noticeable drama)
Best Male Character: Toma Kamijyou (Railgun) (he practically removes special powers from fights. How awesome is that?)
Best Female Character: Mikoto Misaka (Railgun) tied with Megumi Chihaya (Servant x Service) and Lucy etc. Yamagami (Servant x Service)
Mikoto: There is something about her that makes people root for her
Megumi: Her expressionlessness is awesome
Lucy: her name says it all
Best of Summer 2013: Ro-Kyu-Bu SS (Loli girls that everyone roots for)
I know this is not one of the categories, but I'm going to go through some of my favorite moments of the anime that aired this season.
1. Love Lab episode 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmpDp2Lae6U&feature=share
2. Servant x Service episode 12: Chihaya's word at the very end the end of the episode
3. TWGOK 3 episode 9: Chihiro almost being conquered by Keima.
4. Love Lab episode 8: Riko copying Maki's ladylike actions that put Sayo into submission.
5. Stella Women's Academy episode 1: Rento first meeting Yura in her dorm room while Yura was acting out some military thing.
6. Servant x Service episode 2: Hasebe gets Toko's e-mail address.
I'm also going to add a few categories (first place, second, third):
Best Romance: World God Only Knows (with Chihiro, love just got real), Servant x Service (there aren't any others really. I won't say why on this though)
Best Soundtrack: Railgun S (fripSide. That's all you need to know), Ro-Kyu-Bu SS (Get Goal is an awesome song), Attack on Titan (the full length songs used are quite good)
Biggest Surprise Hit (what was better than expected): Love Lab, Stella Academy, Gatchaman Crowds
Biggest Disappointment (what was not as good as expected): Hyperdimension Neptunia, Attack on Titan, Sunday Without God (only slight)
Most Overrated (BUT NOT NECESSARILY BAD and subjective): Attack on Titan, Gatchaman Crowds, WataMote
Most Underrated (BUT NOT NECESSARILY A FAVORITE): Ro-Kyu-Bu SS, Stella Academy, Railgun S (come on. The second arc was awesome)
Best First Episode: Stella Academy, Love Lab, Railgun S
Best Concluding Episode: The World God Only Knows, Servant x Service, Love Lab
Best Story: Attack on Titan
Best Animation: Sunday W/out God
Best OP: Fate/Kaleid Liner ~ tough picking this over TWGOK's OP
Best ED: Sunday W/out God (how can anyone not pick this if they've heard it?!? )
Best Comedy: Watamote
Best Action: Attack on Titan
Best Drama/Slice of Life: Silver Spoon
Best Short Series (3-5 minutes episode length): Yamishibai
Best Male Character: TWGOK - Keima Katsuragi

the lights
The sparkling trail of over one million twinkling lights lights your way and illuminates heritage trees and buildings as you walk through the Gardens.
Fairy-tale meets fantasy in a world of singing trees, larger-than-life flora, ribbons of light, giant baubles, and a flickering Fire Garden. The end of the trail is rounded off with an amazing light show. The Palm House as leaps into life with a dazzling show of laser beams, jets of light and kaleidoscopic projections.
The photographs that I have taken this year reflect the diversity of the light trail. It is interesting that at certain points the queues slow as visitors take shots with their digital devices yet, at two points of the trail there is a difference. At the flames they take pictures quickly. I paused, used long exposures, and created light trails of the revolving Christmas trees creating something different.
At the end of the trail the large tower is lit with a pattern. When I shot it the moon obligingly shone through the clouds. The resulting image is the tower with a "blue moon" shining out alongside. Around two hundred people walked past me whilst I took this shot only three people stopped to take a photograph. They missed a great opportunity for a great photograph.

How does yellow make you feel?
Our old sugar maple has taken on its autumn color. It's always very, very yellow.
I am mildly fond of yellow, in subdued tints and shades, but I do not like a lot of intense yellow in my clothing or my home. However, I think this tree is beautiful, and when I stand beneath it and bathe in its golden glow for a few minutes, I feel happy.
The yellow color of these leaves brings back some nice memories of the kids raking up huge heaps of leaves and jumping into them from their swing. Our old kitty, Happy, who was young then, loved playing in the leaves too. He liked to be covered up, and then to spring out and "surprise" everyone.
My happy feelings about these yellow leaves made me wonder what the psychological effect of yellow is supposed to be. I won't claim that I conducted exhaustive research, but I did read a few webpages on the topic of color psychology, and here's what I found. Negative effects are noted in italics.
- Yellow in the American culture: Sunny, cheerful, inspiring, high spirit, caution, cowardice (Source)
- Connotations of yellow in Western cultures: Happy, friendly, optimistic, cowardly, annoying, brash (Source)
- Yellow in the home: Sunny, energetic, creative, intellectually stimulating, friendly, inviting. Deep shades "can enhance feelings of emotional distress." (Source)
- Effects of yellow: Feelings of optimism, enlightenment, and happiness, a promising future, energy, creativity (Source)

of Life Insurance
Life insurance products are issued by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (Woodbury, NY) and Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (Denver, CO). Variable universal life insurance products are distributed by Voya America Equities, Inc. Within the state of New York, only ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York is admitted and it's products issued. All are members of the Voya® family of companies.
All guarantees are based on the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company, who is solely responsible for all obligations under its policies.
Policy loans and partial withdrawals may vary by state, may generate an income tax liability, reduce available surrender value and reduce the death benefit, or cause the policy to lapse.
1Income tax free distributions are usually achieved by withdrawing to the cost basis (usually premiums paid), then using policy loans. This assumes the policy qualifies as life insurance, is not a modified endowment contract, is not lapsed or surrendered with an outstanding loan. Individual tax results may vary. You should consult your attorney or other tax advisor.
