    Gonzo’s Romeo x Juliet Review

    The ending is a bit disapointing, with the random plot of the Escalus tree thrown in and all. While Romeo did his best to save Juliet, it was… disheartening of me to see that he got killed, then Juliet followed his path too. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be like that in the original… but I guess I got too attached to both of them. Well, in a way, they did get together in the end…

    Another factor that triggers my dislike is the overarching plot of Juliet to take revenge on the Montagues, egged on by her guardians. It was also rather messily done too, with a bloodless rebellion in the end. Just… didn’t have that “epic” feel I was hoping for. Plus I really didn’t agree with her being forced on the responsibility too.

    Well, there are also good things about the show. While the romance part was definitely sappy, I didn’t dislike it. Somehow along the show, I got attached to both Romeo and Juliet, and I guess it is perhaps the most redeeming factor of the show. Well, I guess this is already quite clear from my earlier statements.

    Another thing is Lena Park’s theme song, Inori – You Raise Me Up. It’s definitely an awesome song, which fits in to the theme of the show way more than the show did, for me. A slow, simple and uplifting theme song that really touches the soul. I’d probably remember this song far longer than the series.

    In conclusion… Romeo x Juliet is an okay show, but it didn’t live up to my expectations. Still, it had a good cast of characters in it, but the way they developed the story could’ve done better. For more stories about different characters check this top 10 anime characters article. It does have an awesomely memorable theme song for it though.

This is the trend that most celebrities have picked up on this June, the black belt worn with your summer mini dress, your suit jacket, your satin evening dress…the list goes on. Is this a trend that you should go with or leave until it blows over?

    Belts with Your Body Shape

    If you have an hourglass figure then go for a wide black belt over a dress if you are larger or a thinner belt if you are smaller. Cinch in that waist and show off your curves, with your dresses or trousers.

    If you have an athletic body then adapt the look and go for the black belt over a jacket or coat. Choose a medium width belt and avoid wide hard belts that have no give in them. Only wear a skinny belt with jeans if you are very slender.

    If you are a pear shape then choose a wider belt, worn on the waist, not the hips with your dress. You can get away with a larger buckle. The best place to buy belts is online from a wholesale boutique clothing.

    Wearing a belt at waist level is a look to avoid if you are an apple shape, let another accessory do the talking for you. A good excuse to buy another handbag!

    Softscaping and Hardscaping

    Landscaping can be thought of as including the two elements of softscaping and hardscaping. The softscape of a home is the living component of the landscape, consisting of such features as the various plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees embedded in the landscape, along with the grasses and soil that complement them. Softscape, by its nature, doesn’t have a permanent quality to it and is typically fluid and changing in its characteristics.

    Hardscape, on the other hand, describes those elements used in a home’s landscape that are inanimate and unchanging over time and provide a sense of balance and shape to the overall design scheme, delineate a property’s boundary, or serve a functional use. It can also refer to those elements that are installed for recreational purposes, such as an in-ground swimming pool, or for ornamental embellishments, such as fountains and waterfalls. Best landscapers in Omaha will offer services related to hardscape design.

    Hardscape Elements

    For all practical purposes, just about any outdoor landscape element that isn’t part of the softscape can be considered a hardscape element. These can include, but certainly are not limited to, some of the following components.

    • Functional: paved pathways, driveways, retaining walls, drainage solutions
    • Ornamental: stone benches, arbors, fountains, waterfalls
    • Recreational: swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, decks, patios

    Hardscape Benefits

    • Curb appeal: Improves the look and appeal of a home’s exterior
    • Functionality: To halt erosion, define a property’s boundaries or create privacy
    • Focal point: Used to draw attention to a particular area of the home’s landscape.

    Whether you choose to do your own design and installation or hire professionals who are experienced in hardscape design in Omaha, you can be sure that a quality hardscape addition to your landscape will improve both its value and serve to provide enjoyment and functionality to the homeowner for many years.

    At what point do I need surgery?

    When deteriorating vision from a cataract begins to interfere with your work or lifestyle it is time to give the situation serious consideration. In modern societies, cataracts rarely cause blindness, but they do reduce the sharpness and quality of people’s vision, thus affecting their ability to do everyday work and leisure activities. When this occurs, surgery may provide the best solution, but do a research before you do Cataracts.

    If you are over 60 years of age and you have symptoms of a cataract, and you find that glasses do not correct the problem, then an eye examination is advisable in order to determine if a cataract has developed and if surgery is appropriate.

    Age is no barrier to having cataract surgery – people over the age of 100 years have had the surgery! In fact, there is evidence that, in older people, an added benefit of the surgery is that it can reduce the likelihood of falls, hip fractures, and the need for admission to a nursing home.

    There are numerous benefits from having the surgery — it is not uncommon for patients to feel that their vision following this surgery is better than it has been since they were 40 years of age.

    And now, thanks to remarkable advances in intra-ocular lens design, many people can have the added convenience of being able to greatly reduce or avoid the need to wear reading glasses or distance glasses (though sunglasses are still recommended).

    How Much Am I Going To Pay For An Electrician?

    There comes a time in every homeowners life when he or she will have to face up to the fact that the services of a qualified electrician will be required. this can be a tremendously stressful time. It is always stressful when one has to call in a professional to address and issue which has to be dealt with immediately. The main source of stress is always going to come from the evaluation of two factors – the first is how to find the correct professional service providers and the second is just how much the service is going to cost.

    Estimating how much you will pay for the services of an electrician is always going to be a difficult task – it depends on so many factors such as the nature of the job and the urgency with which it must be treated.

    However there are some parameters that can be taken into account that may provide the homeowner with a ballpark figure as to just how much of an impact hiring a professional electrician is going to have on his or her bank account.

     

    Note that the average electrician will charge between $50-$100 an hour – depending on a variety of factors including the complexity of the job. Also not that this will not include the cost of parts as you can read from this Duties of electrician article.

    Let’s take a look at some of the factors for a variety of jobs. Take into account that these are estimates. Always ask for a written quote before retaining the services of an electrician.

    • Labor for Wiring

    This is one of the more expensive input costs. The homeowner can expect to pay around $70 an hour for the services of a qualified electrician. Reworking an existing installation can take up to four hours while installing completely new wiring can take a whole day.

    • Out with the Old in with the New

    Installing new lighting fixtures is a cost effective way to up the value of your home. If you factor in the price of the fixture itself the average cost of this sort of job is going to be around $450. Of course that does depend to a large extent on the cost of the fixture that you have chosen.

    • Electrical Panels

    If you have an older home the chances are that at some point you are going to have to look at replacing an electrical panel. Panels come in a variety of flavors – each rated to handle specific amps. The cost install a middle of the road 200 amp panel should be in the region of $1,000. But be aware that ignoring the problems that can be caused by malfunctioning panels can be extremely dangerous. Your electrician may be able to upgrade an existing panel – that will cost on the region of between $500 and $800.

    The costs to retain the services of a qualified electrician are difficult to estimate. It’s like asking ‘how long is a piece of string?’ But some jobs cannot be avoided. As mentioned ask for a written quote and if possible have the electrician survey the problem before they quote – that way both parties avoid nasty surprises.
