Very interesting show. Too bad Mario & Ellie were only featured in the 1st half, but they did a good job. The interviews with Bamboo Dong were good; did Ellie do an interview or 2? Good to see you on camera again, BD! BTW, methinks BD protests too much; she was very enthusiastic about Sensitive Pornograph, yet said "I'm not gonna buy a copy, but if you guys are into it...". And my LOL moment: Power Rangers playing air hockey! #2 Fun moment: The lame-looking Vash clone & the Krispy Kreme doughnut box... Edit: My bad... Mario handled the interviews for the 1st half & BD did the last half. C'mon, Ellie... you can do it! Forgot to mention the Cute moment: The boy in the Godzilla suit. At least he wasn't a bare-assed Godzilla like Shin-Chan... |

I'm digging that afro-to-be : P
But in all seriousness (and I was being serious! afro's are awesome) - I really hope the panels were recorded and the video will be uploaded onto the individual panel reports at a later stage.. like last year. All in all, I think this Expo has been pretty disappointing in terms of licenses actually announced at the convention. The Funimation things are INCREDIBLE, but came out in press releases before the panel. So yeah, I'll be waiting for Otakon to hear announcements of all the anime that should have been announced here! Funimation will be having so much power over how much they pay for Japanese licenses now, so Soul Eater better get over here quickly! |

I went into an extreme laughing fit when Ellie promoted Sensitive Pornograph. |

I love the sentai air hockey ending. Thank you for hiring talent that can actually pronounce Japanese decently. My roommate pronounces udon wrong and it does bug me a little since it isn't hard to pronounce correctly. Nice little cameo of Carl at Dark Horse there. | |||

A Vash cosplayer stealing a donut actually made me laugh out loud, heh, heh. Go, Vash, Go!
I can't believe I actually know what that man with the rubber leek was talking about! And I can't believe that that loop of Orihime twirling a leek has caused someone to create rubber leeks. And I can't believe that people are buying them. Some cases of supply and demand are soooooo strange.... That Ouran Host Club cosplaying thing looks so embarrassing to me. You couldn't give me enough pocky to participate in something like that. Thanks for the fun, upbeat reporting, guys! |

Excellent ending. I probably have met one of, if not both of those PR cosplayers before. | |||

Very informative and I like how you guys focused on both the social and industry aspects to the con, but obviously more industry information since this is a news site. The only things that bothered me are the cuts in interviews and the shaky camera movements. But overall, I liked this. | |||

3 DemoCoolHedgehog | 08/10/2011 | See all CoolHedgehog's reviews (5)Been playing Demo on Xbox 360 and would recommend playing that before buying it. With it being demo don't have manual for controls which at times were confusing. For example don't know if you can get out of your car! It is like GTA IV but least in that if your vehicle gets knocked on side you can pinch another one to knock it over lol.Play it a bit more but may buy it but like other reviewer wouldn't pay more than 20 for it.
3 DemoPaul3891 | 27/06/2011 | See all Paul3891's reviews (8)the game looks brillant but its not worth more than twenty pounds due to it being a simple, easy game that a five year old could complete... release date was suppose be march 2011 but its out since 2010 in germany
3 GTA lookalikeb0red0m | 22/01/2011 | See all b0red0m's reviews (20)I played a demo and the game is decent. I didnt love nor hate it. I'm not a lover of GTA and this is what the game reminds me off abit. Chasing people round in your car. Bit like wheelman too.

All Saints Catholic School (from left) students Pooja Peters, Grace MacLellan and Valerie Goodwin were among those who helped fill more than five shopping carts in the school's food drive.
All Saints Catholic School students collected more than five shopping carts full of food in their 'Fill the Cart' food drive to feed the hungry.
Students at All Saints Catholic School in Canton celebrated Catholic Schools Week last week by launching the Fill the Cart food drive.
Students collected non-perishable food items, including cereal, peanut butter, jelly, corn, boxed milk and canned fruits, to give to the All Saints Food Pantry in Detroit.
Buschs Fresh Food Market joined in, loaning the school five shopping carts to use as a way to collect the food. Each day, student council members would push the shopping carts down the hall, collecting all of the donations along the way.
Even with a short week caused by snow days, contributions came pouring in. By the second day, the shopping carts were over-flowing. At their assembly Friday, all the donations which filled all five of the shopping carts plus some were rolled out so the students could see that by each person giving a little, they were able to make a huge contribution to the food pantry.
This week, the faculty, staff and students worked together to box all of the food to be taken to those who need it.
The school not only filled the carts, they filled the hearts of those in need in the area, second-grade teacher Caitlin Pacente said. What a great way for the students to give back and work together in their own community.

Dumbest Employees Caught On Camera in 2012 [Video]
Each year brings with it plenty of examples of employees caught doing dumb things while on the job, and 2012 was no exception. From the auto-dealership worker who was accused of faking her own kidnapping to the small-town clerk who stole $53 million from taxpayers to the teacher who allegedly ordered her students to bully another child, workers proved yet again that there's no shortage of ingenuity when it comes to behaving stupidly.
What's more, advances in technology mean that many more such examples are being caught on video -- whether by cameras on cell phones or through surveillance -- and increasingly winding up on social media sites, such as Facebook and YouTube, or shared with the media.
With that in mind, AOL Jobs has compiled a list of the five dumbest things employees did on video this year. The compilation is by no means comprehensive, but these examples do represent some of the more entertaining stories we've reported this year. Take a look and tell us: What's the dumbest thing you heard (or saw) an employee do this year?
It's no secret that many Walmart workers are unhappy about the wages they earn and hours they work, which is what led to several protests ahead of Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year. Earlier this year, though, four workers at a Walmart in Pikeville, Ky., felt that they had better way to express their job frustrations -- by tossing and purposely dropping iPads in the store's stockroom, while recording the destruction. The video of the incident, which reportedly happened in August, found its way on to YouTube, and the workers were fired.
Pizza Hut Driver Pees On Customer's Door
Employees who rely on tips for the bulk of their income have no shortage of ways to express their dissatisfaction in not getting tipped. In Iowa, however, a delivery driver took venting his disdain to a whole new level, by peeing on the door of a customer who simply didn't have enough money to tip him. A surveillance camera caught the act, and after the owner of the local Pizza Hut franchise was called and advised of the incident, the driver was, umm, relieved of his job.
Coroner Shows Up Drunk At Crime Scene
You'd think a government employee would know better than to drive drunk -- especially when responding to a call to investigate a potential crime. But the coroner of Hancock, Ind., did just that in May, and it was all caught on video. Tamara Vangundy showed up at the crime scene stumbling, swaying and reeking of alcohol, according to police. After failing breathalyzer tests, she was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors. Vangundy pleaded guilty to the charges and in August was sentenced to a year of probation. She also resigned her position.
Train Operator Suspended For Reading On The Job
Reading a newspaper while operating a mass-transit vehicle carrying hundreds of people is potentially dangerous. But that's exactly what a passenger witnessed last June, recording video of the incident on a cell phone aimed through the window of the engineer's compartment on a Metro-North train, as it rolled into New York City's Grand Central Terminal. The employee in question, whom the Metropolitan Transit Authority declined to identify, was reportedly suspended. After news of the incident leaked to the media, other train engineers responded -- not by refusing to read while on duty, but by covering up their windows, preventing watchful riders from peering into their cabs.
Police Officer Caught Stealing From Goodwill
Times may be tough, but that's no excuse for stealing from the needy. Yet that's exactly what Brice Miller, a veteran police officer of the DeLand Police Department in Florida was seen doing last May, when surveillance video on two occasions showed a patrol car stopping in the back of a Goodwill store in DeLand. Miller was identified as the likely culprit after his patrol car's number, PD 65, was seen in the video. Faced with possible termination, Miller decided to instead retire -- two years sooner than he had planned.
Chicago TV Anchors Report Fake Plane Crash As Real
News anchors Larry Potash and Robin Baumgarten thought that they were breaking a major story live on the air as a TV news helicopter beamed images of a plane crashed on a major Chicago thoroughfare. As it turned out, the scene was staged for the NBC series, "Chicago Fire." The news team soon learned via their headsets that they erred in reporting the location shoot as a real emergency, leaving a frazzled Baumgarten to repeatedly ask, "Are you kidding me?"

RPD releases results of investigation into officers' voided parking tickets
Posted at: 03/22/2013 4:34 PM
Print Story |
How would you like your parking tickets thrown away without having to go to court? The Rochester Police Department finished investigating cases of officers getting tickets on their person vehicles voided.
He says most of the 23 tickets had legitimate reasons to be voided, but others just said, "courtesy extended."
Chief James Sheppard, Rochester Police Department, said, "Although this is not a good practice, these cases did not merit individual discipline since the action was approved by a high ranking officer."
The investigation focused on tickets issued from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2012.
· About 7,762 total parking tickets voided
· About 2,629 void request slips submitted by RPD personnel
· About 245 void requests submitted involving a vehicle owned by an RPD sworn or civilian employee
· Of the 245 void requests involving vehicles owned by RPD personnel, RPD was able to locate 190 actual void slips, to determine who requested and approved the void.
· Of the 190 void slips located, we identified 23 void requests in which an RPD officer submitted a request to void a parking ticket issued to his or her personally owned vehicle.
· The 23 void requests were submitted by 17 different RPD employees.

Virtual testing
2007-05-16 04:22:28 Giuseppe Maxia | [View]
Virtual Servers eat up a lot of memory when you want to test three or four nodes.
Abundance of hardware includes RAM in a single box. If you have plenty of RAM in your desktop and you can afford to fire four virtual machines, good for you.
I have been using VMWare WS for 7 years. But when I need to do some heavy testing on replicating nodes, I prefer emulation over virtualization.

Some of the educational staff worked with juvenile sex offenders housed in the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center, Bond said. Although officials would like to move the center, there's no concrete plan in place yet. Bond said the division is hopeful it can find a stand-alone location in Harrison County where it could move those offenders, easing the transition for the juveniles and staff alike.
Maintaining relationships would be ideal, Bond said, adding that the education staff was doing great work with the juveniles at the facility.
Whether a facility is available and contiguous move can happen remains to be seen.
"If all planets align," Bond said. "But there are a lot of moving parts in this plan."
The division is trying to find other locations in the state for the educators, Bond said; she thought a facility in Fairmont might have some openings. Bond and Rubenstein both said there could be the chance for additional training if those employees wanted to stay on after the transition.
The division of corrections is still looking at what types of programs it will have at the facility, Rubenstein said.
Many adult prisons lack basic academic skills - in areas like reading, math or spelling -Rubenstein said. Classes for the General Education Development (GED) certificate are also common, he said.
"I do know in talking with the adult side of the education department that they will be working with us to identify the number of instructors on educational as well as vocational and any type of staff like that that would be needed to offer the instruction to the 300 to 400 inmates that will be there," Rubenstein said.
Of the 21 employees at the facility classified as teachers now, six are considered vocational instructors and one is an adult basic education teacher. Rubenstein said the division of corrections would be at Salem this week to research the best way to use the facility for adults.
Once that is determined, staff numbers can be decided as well.
Bond said there are also contract employees that provide all medical services at the facility. According to the division website, "PrimeCare Medical provides all health care, physician (at least weekly at every facility), dental and prescription services for all DJS facilities."
Psimed Corrections also has a contract to provide mental health services at DJS facilities, according to the division's website.
Bond specifically mentioned both companies, saying those employed at Salem might also have a problem once the division of corrections takes over.
The governor's office is working to find a solution, Alsop said. The department of education is as well, Cordeiro said.
A town hall meeting is scheduled 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the armory in Salem to discuss the changes, Tomblin spokeswoman Amy Shuler Goodwin said. The transition to an adult facility is expected to be completed by July.

Season-long spikes of delicate, cup-shaped flowers make summer snapdragon a good choice for containers. Because it's both heat and drought tolerant, it will stand up to hot, dry summer days. This native of Mexico and West Indies is a perennial in its local setting, but it's used as an annual in zones cooler than Zone 9. It's a good cut flower, so consider placing it in the front of a sunny border where you can snip sprigs for a fresh bouquet. Its scented foliage is on firm stems, so the blossoms don't droop in fresh-flower arrangements. Various varieties of this tender perennial have mauve, blue, white, pink, or bicolor flowers.
Plant Facts Common name: Summer snapdragon, angel flower Botanical name: Angelonia angustifolia Plant type: Tender perennial Zones: 9 to 10 Height: 12 to 18 inches Family: Scrophulariaceae (snapdragon or figwort family) Growing conditions

TOKYO - The world's tallest tower and Tokyo's biggest new landmark, the Tokyo Sky Tree, has opened to the public.
Nearly 8,000 visitors were expected to take high-speed elevators up to the observation decks of the 634-meter (2,080-foot) tower Tuesday to mark its opening.
It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest tower, beating out the Canton Tower in China, which is 600 meters (1,968 1/2 feet). The world's tallest structure is Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands 828 meters (2,717 feet). That's in a different category because it's a skyscraper, not a tower.
The Sky Tree will serve as a broadcast tower for television and radio, along with being a tourist attraction.

The Knicks earn a split of their home-and-home with the Sixers, while Donnie Walsh perhaps makes some progress on the Carmelo Anthony front.
Isiah. Freaking. Thomas.
The 'Voice' says the failed deal was a result of Gothamist's own hubris.
This one is going to take a moment to explain.
The NHL is continuing its months-long scuffle with the Dolan family over the team's Website, and raising the stakes.
That is, squeaking a winning season out of Isiah Thomas's Knicks.
In a surprise move, Cablevision reenters the contest for the beleaguered paper with a bid $70 million higher than Murdoch's.
Hillary Clinton hit Barack Obama on Reverend Jeremiah Wright even as critics slammed her for fibbing about Bosnian sniper fire, Sean Combs smacked down rumors that he was involved with Tupac's shooting, and other events of the week that was.
Turns out it's not just Rupert Murdoch who's interested in buying Newsday; Mort Zuckerman, the real-estate magnate who owns the Daily News, and James Dolan, whose family owns Cablevision, Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks, are making bids as well.

( can get it out of cabelas bargain barn. ) it runs off of aa batteries . its transducer also does not attatch to the boat but sets in a tube hanging below the boat. this kinda scares me because i like to fish reelfoot lake and im thinking 1
hit on one of them there stumps would trash it.
so whats it gonna be the eagle or hummingbird, i really value you alls input so dont be shy tell me what you think. also any other options you might think of. just remember since i fish only out of rented boats it has to be easily mounted and dismounted to move from boat to boat. also price is an issue so the lesser expensive options are the best. best option is cabelas where i have a coupon and gift cards to use . so jump in and let me know thanks duckman

I have heard much better from this guy... he needs to get original... when you mimick or copy others, everyone only remembers the original - not much can compare.

I believe their comments were based on his past performances that were better than this one, not that this one was bad at all.

Washington Irving, one of the first Americans to achieve international recognition as an author, was born in New York City in 1783. His A History of New York, published in 1809 under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker, was a satirical history of New York that spanned the years from 1609 to 1664. Under another pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, he wrote The Sketch-book, which included essays about English folk customs, essays about the American Indian, and the two American stories for which he is most renowned--"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Irving served as a member of the U.S. legation in Spain from 1826 to 1829 and as minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846. Following his return to the U.S. in 1846, he began work on a five-volume biography of Washington that was published from 1855-1859. Washington Irving died in 1859 in New York.

Ever spend five minutes talking to your husband only to find out he's completely tuned you out? Pretty frustrating, right?
I can't tell you how many nights I would fume at Rex pouring through bills when all I wanted to do was have some adult contact after ten hours straight with two toddlers. It's not like I wanted to discuss the year's most anticipated book reads, one woman's transformation from atheist to Catholic, or the pros and cons of a gluten free/dairy free in treating ADHD.
Well, actually could discuss all those things to no end, but not the first ten minutes. I could have waited at least eleven for those. But some conversation? Yeah! I had limits to how much my friends could fulfill me. I wanted the handsome and intelligent man I married to connect with me! Maybe you're the same?
And yet, put yourself in your man's shoes. If he's just gotten home from a stressed out day in the office, chances are he isn't ready to absorb ten ways from Tuesday how the baby is constipated, your office mate is actually the devil in bad Payless pumps, and you still haven't heard back from the dentist about getting your tooth filled.
Am I saying that your needs aren't important? Absolutely not. Quite the opposite, I think a woman's need for communication is so strong that she deserves to be heard 100%. This is precisely why, in my case, bending Rex's ear the moment he walks in the door is the worst time to accomplish this.
Here are five things I do to make sure I'm heard by Rex. They aren't the fairy tale scene of a man dropping his briefcase the moment I utter two words from my lips, but these strategies keep me from getting angry and feeling unimportant. It's also allowed me to bury my resentment and move forward with a rich and rewarding life that adds to our marriage:
1. 30 Minute No Talking Rule: Give him thirty minutes to unwind before engaging him in conversation. It's not that big of a deal. He gets a chance to change out of work clothes and suddenly he's ready to talk. If you have a husband who is Mr. Chatty the moment he comes home, all power to you. That is awesome! I just don't have one. I've accepted that. Whatever your pain point is - the time when you feel you're not being heard - rethink a new strategy. Chances are that your mate wants to hear you, just not at that moment. Not ideal, but we're grownups, and that's fair.
2. Kids in Bed: Get the kids on a bedtime schedule. My kids are upstairs by 7 or they don't get their cherished book read. This might sound harsh, but it actually gives me far more patience toward the end of the day when they start to melt down. Most importantly, it keeps me from melting down the moment Rex enters the door because I know there's an end in site.
3. Electronics Off: Turn off the computer/tv/whatever your fetish of fancy is by a certain time every night. For us it's around 8:30. It gives us a chance to chat in the living room before making the trek upstairs. Usually we catch up on work, friends, kids and basic day-to-day of life. It's not as exciting as my list above, but that's what #4 is all about.
4. Date Night: This is a clich item, but so important. It gives Rex and me a chance to talk about our dreams, not just who takes out the trash, who pays what bill, and what exactly got stuck in our son's ear last Tuesday. (Corn on the cob piece. Who knew?)
5. Lower Your Expectations: The person I most want validation from is Rex. Unfortunately, with alternating schedules and very different job descriptions, this isn't always going to happen. Oh, sure, he tells me how much he loves me every day, but he's not going to jump up and down when I tell him about an awesome rice flour muffin I discovered at Whole Foods that morning. I've got girlfriends for that stuff. I've got my mom. I've got teachers and books and...hmmm... who's that one person who is starting to become the friend who always stands by me? Oh yeah - me!
By making tiny switches in the way I've communicated with Rex, I've eased so much tension. I feel closer to him than I've felt in a very long time. It took work, some trial and error, some tears and maybe a few screaming matches (just a few) but I've rediscovered that person who I married all those years ago. (him AND me.)
What about you? Do you communicate well with your spouse? If not, what would you like to change?
