That looks pretty good. I can see the never ending possibilities of the game.

Yep, if they wanted to pass the torch from Teal'c they should have passed it over to that wraith scientist ally they had. But instead of doing that, the other wraith guy more or less says their wraith buddy there betrayed them and passed along their secrets. weak.

sure sure... I can tell an edited pic when I see one. Don't forget to check that box to keep you logged into the forums to make sure your session doesn't expire while playing games and don't open other windows or games while playing one or it'll mess up the score saving feature.

I saw a commercial the other day. I can't remember the specific day for the new episodes to start, but thank god, the show is back on Friday nights!

Yeah, just about every show or movie made has their metaphorical political message and I really can't stand it. Its like that with many books too. Hell, I refer to Battlestar Galactica Season 3 as the Iraq season because the connections are so blatant its rather annoying. I'm just glad the latter part of that season actually progressed the series instead of dragging on a "cylon occupation" for an entire season. (I love BSG btw even with the season 3 eps). But this is another conversation in itself. You would think Ronin would be a full blown Wraith expert considering the amount of them hes killed. But hes never provided any noticeable help aside from being a gunman/tank to draw fire upon. Hes never said something like: "Lets not take this path, you see those slight markings here and here.. I've seen this trap design before with this land layout, we'll have to double back because up ahead is a noticeable pitfall to lure us around and over that ridge were we'll be ambushed. They like to flush their prey into a cleared out field we're they'll sweep in with darts."But no. Ronin's lines in any particular episode is "Rurgghh!" *shoots gun and sometimes runs blindly with rage* And yes, Shepard acts like someone with no real control. Thinking of him as a person in any actual command is laughable.

That would have been awesome if a bankai was busted out like that.

oh thats great. X'D

Me n lady are going to work on organizing/cataloging all of our anime fansubs. x_x

That would have been cool.. I bet she could do a bankai and takeover for Kenpachi in a heart beat. Yeah. X'D

wow, your coinstars suck. Maybe they're still rolling out the gift card option. The coinstar at the grocery store I go to is pretty new. Maybe they have to upgrade your machines still. ah! http://www.coinstar.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-3-1 They have a machine locater so you can find a coinstar that has the gift card option.

I don't think so. Being a DF user herself, shed be pretty dicked if she fell asleep with her arm behind her head and then shifted slightly.

Thats the main difference between this series and Bleach and why this series is a step below Bleach. In bleach the guy takes his sweet time with the fights just like Naruto, but he flips back and forth between all the different fights good enough that it works out in the anime. Can you imagine when these Naruto chapters make it into the anime, we'll see Jiyra die and then wait 13 episodes to see what happened!? fuck that. Think of the remaining fights he'll do after he finishes up with Itachi and Sasuke.. Theres at least two still: Naruto/team versus madara uchia and maybe another akatsuki member. Sasuke's water guy versus Kisame. And I think there was another fight too, but none of them have been referred to in over what, 3+ months of the manga? psht. We'll have to wait that entire time just to see what that fucking frog says to Tsunade. Seems to me the guy writing this is still trying to figure out what to have that frog say, so hes stalling for time with these fights. And damn... why is he making Itachi so weak? His most powerful attack is a rip off of yu yu hakusho's "Dragon of the Darkness Flame"!? Are their more Sasuke fans than Itachi fans? guh, I honestly wanted to see Itachi own Sasuke and take his eyeball. I figure if a character as major as Orochimaru can get killed and discarded so easily, let the same happen to Sasuke too.

Instructions to make: 2-3 rolls of sushi Ingredients: - Sushi Rice - 2 cups - Nori (Seaweed sheets) - 2-3 sheets - Rice Vinegar - - Sliced carrots - 1 package - Avocado - 1x - Cucumber - 1x - Shrimp or imitation crab meat - 1 small package Instructions: 1) Put two cups of rice in your rice cooker and fill the rice cooker to the "2" line with water, put lid on and set the rice to cook. Remember to leave the lid on the rice cooker through the duration of the cooking and and additional 15 minutes after the rice cooker switches over to 'warm' to ensure the rice fully cooks. 2) While the rice is cooking, prepare your cooking area, get your sushi mat ready, take your nori out of the package so it can air out a bit. Peel your cucumber and slice it into thin length wise pieces (preferably discarding the seed portion or the cucumber but that is not necessary). Peel your avocado and also slice into length wise pieces but keep the avocado thicker for it's texture. Also rinse off and peel your shrimp/crab meat. 3) After the rice is done, you have to add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar per 1 cup of rice. Since 2 cups of uncooked rice = 6 cups of cooked rice, add 6 tablespoons of rice vinegar to the rice in the rice cooker and fold the rice to mix evenly. Don't crush the rice while folding the vinegar in! Once mixed together, spread the rice out onto a pizza pan or something else covered in aluminum foil. I cover a pizza pan with aluminum foil because it gives you a flat surface for the rice to cool on and it makes cleanup a lot easier. 4) Let the rice cool down for a while and finish any other prep work you have to do. Also, place a piece of clear saran plastic wrap on your sushi mat (makes rolling the sushi easier and less messer, also easier clean up). Place your nori, shiny side down on your sushi mat and spread sushi rice in a thin layer on most of the mat. Leave about a half inch at the top of the nori rice free so the roll can stay together. 5) Place your ingredients length wise at the bottom of your sushi roll. Use a couple large pieces of avocado, a bunch of cucumber, carrots, shrimp/crabmeat, whatever you want to use. Its ok if things overlap too, but you don't want to use much more than what is in this pic or your roll might start falling apart while you cut it or when you pick up the individual pieces. 6) Next, roll the sushi carefully from the bottom up. Apply some light pressure while you roll and tuck the ingredients in with your fingers if it starts falling apart or not staying in place while you roll it. 7) Roll it back and forth a little bit and squeeze the roll slightly while wrapped up in the mat to get everything kind of solidified together. Not to hard tho, you do not want to crush the rice and ruin the texture. 8) The top of the roll had that little empty 1/2 flap of nori, wet your finger and apply a moisture to that flap and push it against the roll. This will make that little flap grip the roll and keep everything together. 9) Place your roll of sushi on a cutting board and use a sharp wet knife to cut your individual pieces. Sushi rice is extremely sticky, you will need to run your knife under water and gently wipe off any stickyness or rice off your knife before cutting each piece. Cut the pieces to the thickness you want, if the sushi starts falling apart on you while you cut, cut slightly larger pieces or clean your knife/wet it more. Let the knife be pretty much dripping wet even while you cut for easier cutting. The end pieces look ugly but are still edible. I usually give them to my kid or eat them myself before presentation. 10) Next roll. Repeat steps above. Notice I used more shrimp? mmmmm. 11) This is the amount of leftover rice I had. I'm pretty certain I made three rolls with 2 cups of uncooked rice, but I probably ate it while making the other two rolls I took pictures off. (I can't remember.) 12) Finished sushi with leftover ingredients. As you can see, you shouldn't waste your time cutting all of that 1 cucumber and 1 avocado like I did unless you have a guinea pig that likes leftover cucumber like me. Probably half a cucumber and half an avocado is plenty for 2-3 sushi rolls. 13) Finished sushi pics! Eat and enjoy! Don't forget you can use a little wasabi sauce or soy sauce or mix them together a bit for dipping your sushi. I sometimes use duck sauce because soy sauce usually tastes too salty for me just like wasabi is way to friggin hot. I'd rather taste the sushi and the different textures in it than have the dipping sauce overtake my pallet. Pickled ginger is usually served with sushi, but its mainly used to 'reset' your taste buds when you have a variety of sushi on your plate. Its best to eat a little piece of ginger inbetween different pieces of sushi or sashimi to fully enjoy the taste and texture of each different piece. If all your eating is just the one sushi roll like I have made here, I'd pass on the ginger and just enjoy the flavor of the sushi.

Instructions to make: 2 Pizzas 4-8 Servings of wings (depending on how many wings you eat) Ingredients: - Pizza crust mix or premade dough - 2x - Pizza sauce - 1 jar - Mushrooms - 2 small cans - Pepperoni - 1 package - Sweet italian sausage - 1 small package - Mozzarella cheese - 1 package - Chicken Wings - 4 or 4 1/2 pounds - McCormick buffalo wings mix - 2 packages - Large ziplock freezer bag - 1x or 2x if two different flavors of buffalo wings Instructions: 1) Break apart sausage and form into small/medium size chunks and brown it. 2) Prepare pizza ingredients and toppings. Cut mozzarella cheese into small chunks or shred it. 3) Once sausage is browned, drain and let sit on paper towels to absorb more grease. 4) Prepare pizza crust mix as per instructions or prepare premade pizza dough. (pizza crust mix is much better. This pic is the premade flattened dough.) 5) Drink a shot of hypnotic/coconut rum to enhance cooking experience. (This step can be skipped.) 6) Rinse off chicken and cut each wing into three pieces at the joints, throw away the wing tips and keep to two meaty pieces for the actual wings. 7) Put half of your wings (2 pounds out of that 4 pound package) into a freezer bag and dump 1 package of buffalo wing mix into bag. Shake the chicken in the bag to coat all the chicken somewhat evenly. 8) Use glass baking pan, line with aluminum foil, place chicken on foil and bake in pre-heated oven according to buffalo wing mix instructions. 9) While chicken is baking, prepare pizza with sauce, and toppings as desired. 10) Bake prepared pizza on the middle rack in your oven. 350 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes or longer depending on the amount of toppings you used. Cheese should start browning on edges. Remove pizza with oven mitts for pan style or use a large pizza spatula if baked directly on rack. 11) When the wings are done, cut into a couple of them and make sure the meat is nice and white with no hints of pink to ensure they are cooked thoroughly. Remove the wings from the baking pan so they can cool on a plate. Prepare the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake the next batch of chicken wings while getting the next pizza ready. 12) Finished wings 13) Finished pan pizza 14) Eat your pizza and wings! The pizza crust mix makes a much better tasting pizza dough. And I highly recommend the McCormick Original Buffalo Wings mix or the McCormick Garlic and Herb Buffalo Wings mix. Both are amazing.

Instructions to make: A bunch of Tacos for serving 4-6 people. Ingredients: - Ortega taco mix - 2x - Ground beef - 2 to 2 1/2 pounds - Tomatoes - 3x - Lettuce - 1 package - Sour Cream 1x - Taco cheese (preshredded) - 1 package - Taco shells, Tortellias - 1 combo box (8 or more of each) - Ortega Taco sauce - 1 bottle Instructions: 1) Cook meat as per instructions on taco mix packages. 2) Prepare toppings while meat is cooking. Dice tomatoes, shred lettuce or cheese if not already packaged that way. 3) Bake or microwave taco shells and/or soft tacos as per package. Assemble tacos. One or two tablespoons of meat per shell, add toppings to taste, use a little dash of the taco sauce for extra flavor or heat. I prefer the soft tacos. You can also pick up large tortellias for burritos and make large soft tacos out of them instead.. so good.

Hinata (that marine captain/lt.) versus Robin. Hina has that DF shackle ability and Robin has inifinite hands. Hina could shackle any body part Robin uses on her.. and her shackle power looked like it knocked people out or weakened them once they were hit with it.. I bet it'd be a great b*tch fight. I think Ace vs. Aokiji would probably be a stalemate like Ace vs. Smoker was, still it'd be interesting to see. Smoker vs. Teach. Smoker is a logia type, so Blackbeard would have to pull him in to kill him, but at the same time Smoker uses a seastone weapon. They'd negate each other's DF power up close constantly. And look at smoker, I bet that bastard could take harder physical hits than Ace could. The bastard uses a seastone weapon for crying out loud, hes probably trained plenty in his own fighting style just for the possibility that his own weapon could be used against him. Franky vs. Vegapunk. Self made cyborg versus cyborg scientist/potential cyborg warrior. Usopp vs. Buggy the clown. Usopp never met buggy to begin with, it'd probably be a long range hilarious fight. Nami would own him, but'd it be a hilarious fight. X'D

My crayola crayon is super old. Almost 20 years old now. X'D When its full I usually get $60 to $100 out of it depending on the quarter content. My dad used a big water cooler bottle. He got it 1/4 full and realized he could barely move it anymore. X'D I think he weighed it on a scale and at a 1/4 full it was over 100 pounds or something like that. It had $200+ dollars in change! We used coinstar last time because they wave their 8% fee if you put the money into a gift card for one of their partners instead of getting cash. Amazon is one of their partners so yeah, instead of all that time rolling change or getting the 8% hit, amazon card was the way to go. Of course the machine could have still taken 8% out if it wanted to, how the hell would I know? Its not like I counted it first before dropping the cash in.. but I'm sure there are people who do that sort of thing just to see if they were getting dicked or not, so I'm pretty certain we got our money's worth out of our change.

Sam's wardrobe is just the tip of the iceburg. When Weir was in charge she played a role in practically every episode and had involvement in almost every decision. Now that Sam is there, her role has diminished drastically and the basis of the show is now completely centered just on Sheppard's team... but instead of exploring other planets or getting intel about their enemies, its just one situation after the other that they keep getting flung into. While something like that could have worked on SG1, Atlantis just seems weak. And they should have never brought Teal'c in there to 'pass the torch' to Ronin with this last episode because it did nothing for me except make me pissed that Teal'c was portrayed weakly. They should have shown Teal'c explaning different tactics or jaffar techniques or principals. But instead of evolving Ronin's character they kept him the same and more or less degraded Teal'c's character by bringing out more violence in him and drastically cutting his potential dialogue. Highly disappointing.

I wonder if geneon used VAs outside of the main funimation employment. If we're lucky funi will get contacts with new VA talent. That'd be a miracle in itself.

Well, Kenpachi gets owned again, but I'm still expecting him to release his sword. What would be really interesting is if this fight ends up being just like the initial fight he had with Ichigo. The fact that Ichigo fought someone more powerful (Kenpachi), it only made him stronger. As many times as Kenpachi owned Ichigo in their initial fight it only made him more powerful and in-tune with his sword. Maybe if we're lucky we'll see Kenpachi have a sword vision or something then bust out with his released blade. ^_~ And while that would be cool, it'd still be the back and forth power fight like every other fight so far... I'm just hoping all the fighting will end long enough for some actual plot to be revealed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonkou Interesting: I'll have to re-read that part where Moria mentions this Kaidou guy. I don't remember him mentioning the guy was one of the four emperors.

That zombie was the body of a legendary Samurai that was most likely buried with his legendary blade. They animated his body with Brooke's shadow to reanimate it. The Samurai was more powerful than Brooke to begin with just like Oz's body was more powerful than Luffy's even tho it was powered by Luffy's shadow. Brooke's cane/sword seems to be his primary weapon tho. And when he fought that spider and the samurai it looks like Brooke emphasizes speed and precise hits over brute force power.

Roger is very mysterious. And whats even more interesting is the opening. Roger does not seem injured, and he is shackled with wooden restraints at his execution. He must have been extremely weakened, or if he was a DF user he must have had on seastone ankle shackels or he actually let himself get killed just so he could begin the age of pirates with his speech about all his treasures at One Piece. My guess is that when Roger was taken down, so was all his nakama. Think about the recent fight with Moria and Bear. When it was time to take Luffy in, his nakama would rather sacrifice themselves.. If anything the same thing happened to Roger's top men.

Thats what it looks like. I just hope Kenpachi busts out a sword move. Have you noticed every single bleach fight is a back and forth fight? Ever since the 'limit release' fight with the shinjami on earh, every chapter has been a back and forth fight. One chapter somebody has overwhelming power, the next chapter its reversed, so on and so forth. I can see the progression of the fights now: Next chapter: Kenpachi stands up and releases his sword, owns the hollow bastard. Next chapter: Hollow bastard busts out a new move and owns Kenpachi. Next chapter: Kenpachi does a bankai and owns/kills the hollow bastard. Next chapter: Ulquirro shows back up and owns Kenpachi. Next chapter: Pesche and big face guy show up and release their swords and own Ulquirro. Next chapter: Ulquirro releases his sword and owns everybody. Next chapter: Grimjaw all crippled, eats the body of the hollow guy kenpachi killed becomes more powerful and then owns Ulquirro. Next chapter: Somebody else shows up, owns everyone again. Next chapter: Orihime finally finishes healing Nell's mask. More powerful Nell now owns new guy. yada yada yada. If these events actually happen, I will stop reading bleach.

yes, my sentiments exactly. Highly disappointing. I thought something was finally being accomplished in this series but instead it was all a bunch of BS.
