Doesn't matter what kind, as long as we are talking a preschool with adults actively involved in children's learning and a little bit of structure that prepares them for kindy at least.
If you have done preschool with one and gone on to NOT do it with other children, especially, I'd like to hear what you thought was good and bad about each.
My DS1, now 6, started preschool a few months after his 3rd birthday. He tested as dev. delayed, and I wasn't sure if he might need speech services. He never did have that, but I think he did benefit greatly from being in a good program. He's now in K and loves it, does VERY well academically, and has a few particular friends. (that's his personality)
My DD just turned 4 and has one more school year before K. She tests "above average" on the same test DS1 did. I have NO concerns about her academic abilities, social skills, or ability to separate from me.
The thing I regret is school was 4 half days a week from the time DS1 started, no shorter week for 3's or anything.
Now that I have had DD home with DS2 (age 2) and I see how adorable they are playing together and how well they get along, I really feel DS1 missed out on something important there. Until recently, he didn't get along with DD at all (2 year age difference) but little brother is a 'baby' and so he's always been really kind to him. (there's also the youngest baby, now 2 months)
So....I am trying to decide about preschool for DD. My concerns about transitioning to kindergarten are basically that I think it would be a huge adjustment to go from full-time days at home straight to full days at school, also, school would be *very* structured compared to home.
Do I just suck it up and realize that it'll be an easier transition for ME too (on missing her, and her siblings later!) if I send them to the same half-day 4 day a week deal for one year?
I think that's part of it, DS had 2 full years--the years he turned 4 and 5 plus that half year when he was 3. That *is* a long time. I DID give up a LOT of his early years...and honestly, I think he would've gotten to the same point with time to grow and one year of school...as far as kindergarten success.
Tell me about your experiences!
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!
My state doesn't have universal K so it is fairly common for children to go into K with no previous schooling; neither my children nor their cousins that live here have been to K. Ds could read at a second grade level (a bit of an anomaly) and could write by K. We are working with dd a bit on reading now, she watches leap frog a couple of times a week, and I plan on working with her a little on writing this summer. I think adjustment to K has more to do with their personality than anything else.
I do too. Having said that, both my boys did 2 years of preschool (ds2 is finishing his last year now) then went on to full day kindergarten. DS1 did amazingly transitioning to kindergarten. DS2, I know will have a harder time. They've both been in daycare since they were infants, both done the same preschool, etc. But they're just different kids.
I have no idea what it's like to go from being home all day to going to school all day. Mine are used to being away from me during the day so there won't be that aspect of it. But kindergarten is a huge change from everything, so it may take some getting used to.
I'm interested in hearing more on this. We're really struggling with what to do with my dd. She's 4 1/2 and has never been to any sort of preschool/daycare. I believe that our K is only full days. She's very bright, but I worry that the jump to full day K is going to be very difficult. I have no idea regarding how many of her peers will have been in daycare/preschool, but I suspect many will have. I don't want her to be the only one who hasn't done "school" yet and be "behind". I can't decide whether I just want to homeschool her next year or put her in public K.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this and start talking about kindergarten - what I meant to ask was l if we do decide to put her in public k next year, should we put her in preschool/daycare now to help her prepare?
DS1 is 3 and in his first true year of preschool, so I can't comment on the coulda woulda shouldas, but I can tell you what I like about the program that he is in. Our school is a nonprofit co-op and the class for his age group meets two mornings a week. Next year we'll meet three times a week, and if we take an optional 'pre-K' year, it'd be four. It is a play-based school so while there is a definite rhythym to the day (circle times, turn-based activities, snack time, etc.) there is a lot of space for creative, free play. Some of the discussion during circle time has turned to things like numbers and the alphabet and dinosaurs, and some of the centers around the room that open up during free play build toward skills pre-literacy and science, but at there are no handwriting worksheets, no sign language lessons, nothing is forced. He is learning to navigate social connections and how to operate in a classroom setting. Because it is a co-op school, parents work in the classroom on a rotating basis (helping to run the workbench or craft table). I end up in the classroom about once a month, and really value being able to observe him interacting with with his peers, teachers and other adults. I love it really just so, so much, people have to talk me down about why anyone would choose anything but a co-op.
I wouldn't expect every child entering kindergarten to have had daycare or preschool, though it is more common as school districts offer pre-k classes. If you think your child would enjoy pre-k, preschool, daycare- sure, go ahead and send them, but I don't believe it is necessary for children entering kindy to have had "prior experience."
My older two attended pre-k through our local school district and loved it. They had an amazing teacher and it was a great experience for both of them. We homeschool, so I try to give the kids experiences outside of the home but at the same time, my littlest will be 4 this fall and it would really break up our day having to transport her to and from school everyday. So, I am torn. I am not considered with the academics of preschool, she will get that at home through play, but the social part would be great for her. She is outgoing and very self assured.
Dh, Me , DD 10 , DD 7 , DD 4
We , , , , not in that order
My oldest two are in 2nd and k. My oldest went to one year at a highly regarded co-op preschool, my son didn't attend preschool. I really don't think preschool "prepared" my dd for K. If anything I think it made K a disappointment because preschool was so fun and K is so not in our district. I loved my DD's preschool though and can't say I regret sending her. With my son him starting school was a pretty sudden decision (we had been homeschooling) and he is on the younger end for our cut off. He adjusted wonderfully though. He was/is sooooo excited to be a "big kid" that goes to school. He loves the bus, his teacher, his friends, little class parties, gym! LOL He comes home very excited everyday. I will also say academically he was more prepared, but that could just be him. Oh and we have 1/2 day K that might be a factor with the ease of transition. I imagine full days might be harder. For my youngest in my ideal world she would be home with me until she starts K. Mainly because I just feel kids are rushed to grow up to fast. Just let the be, they will spend 12+ years in school as it is. However, I need to go back to work so I doubt my ideal will happen. ;/

I don't think it's exactly a lack of paperwork – it sounds more like your father did not sign up for the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) when he retired. SBP has been available to protect the spouses and families of retired servicemembers since 1972. By electing coverage on all or part of their retired pay, retiring servicemembers are able to ensure that their surviving spouse receives 55 percent of the covered amount at their death. I'm a big proponent of the program. For most folks, it makes a lot of sense to provide their spouse with an inflation-adjusted stream of income that is nearly impossible to duplicate with life insurance (at the same cost). However, sometimes retirees are put off by the 6.5 percent cost of the program. I make sure they understand that this cost is paid on a pretax basis, and that recent legislation allows these premiums to stop after they have been paid for 30 years and the retiree is at least 70. You should be able to look at your father's retirement-pay stubs to see if he was paying the premium, but it doesn't sound like that was the case. I hope this information helps your investigation, while helping others make a good decision!.

Granville. A man is pulling Javier out of the cargo area of a bus that was headed for Granville. Javier, his shirt still unbuttoned, says that he was trying to get to his mom. Clark whooshes in to help, saying, "Leave him alone." The bus guy tells Clark to mind his own business. "He is my business," says Clark. He's getting into the immigrant-smuggling game? A sheriff's department car drives up, siren blaring. Clark whooshes out of the scene, taking Javier with him. The man from the bus company looks around: "What the...?"
Clark puts Javier down after having carried him to his truck, parked far away. Javier asks how he did that. Clark asks him to promise that he won't tell anyone else about his powers. Shouldn't you have asked him that before you showed him what you can do? Javier says not to worry, and that he's become an expert at keeping secrets. Sure, kid. Just learn some Spanish, all right? Clark smiles and tells Javier to get into the truck. They get into the vehicle, which somehow warrants a dramatic closing sound as we go to commercials.
Soup commercials have gotten way too manly. Just sayin'.
Chloe and Jimmy show up in Granville in a little blue car that doesn't look at all like Chloe's. As they get out, Chloe tells Jimmy that she bets visiting laundry places isn't his idea of a dream date. He says that he wouldn't rule it out: the towels can be used for cushioning. Holy horndog! Cool it, Jimmy! This show has to air on the ABC Family Network! Chloe asks a group of women exiting a building if they know Esperanza. They're all wearing outfits like the one Catalina wears on My Name is Earl. One of them walks away. Jimmy, wearing a brown retro shirt, asks if she's the one. Chloe mentions Javier's name, and suddenly Mom (who doesn't look a day over twenty-five) brightens up: "He's in A-mer-ica?" Well, it's obvious Javier didn't get his accent from her. Chloe tells the woman that Javier is at a friend's house, and that they can take her. "Jess!" Mom tells them. No, Jess is at someone else's house. It doesn't occur to her at all that she shouldn't accept rides from complete strangers in a country where she is undocumented.
Clark is driving. "Great, you found her!" he says into his cell phone, which he sometimes seems to own and sometimes doesn't. Clark tells Javier that Mom is on the way. Javier can't believe that, after two years, he'll get to see her. Smiles all around. As they pass a field, Javier starts to look sad. He says that Clark never told him about Francisco. He pleads to know what happened. Clark tells Javier that his buddy is dead and that the sheriff IDed his body. Clark says he knows it's tough, and that he's lost people close to him, too. Javier asks Clark to stop the car. No, Javier -- in America, it's a truck. Or, "Troka". Clark pulls over. Javier runs into Moleman's farm entrance, Clark following. "Javier!" Clark calls. He tells Javier that he has to get him out of there. Javier regrets taking his friend with him. Clark uses his sad eyes. Javier yanks off his necklace. Stupid necklace! "Why didn't I give this to Francisco?" Javier asks himself. Because you were gonna sell it for bread money? Clark tells him it's not his fault. Now repeat it ten times then give him a hug as he backs away. Clark tells Javier that they'll go see his mom. Suddenly, a dirt explosion takes out Clark. Javier is covered in dust. "Clark!" he calls. Something in the field moves, with a loud rumble, toward Javier, who runs away. The shape continues. Javier stumbles and falls. Before the dust cloud can overtake Javier, it spits out a body. The gurgling stops. Javier sees Farmer Moleman lying on the ground, breathing hard. Clark, dirty, walks over. Hero! Without much effort. Javier smiles at Clark. Clark finds the necklace right there on the ground, even though Javier ran away from it. Clark hands over the necklace. More deep looks of admiration between the boy and the man-child. For lack of any competition, it's the Gayest Look of the Episode. Let's get out of here. (I hope somebody's taking care of the Moleman, by the way.)

Ron Artest says he'll donate half his salary to mental health awareness
Dec 8, 2010, 1:17 PM EDT
When Ron Artest commits, when he believes in something, he never goes in halfway. Whether it was partying in his younger days to his more mature commitment to the Lakers last season, Artest doesn't hold back. He goes all in.
Now his passion is getting out the word about mental health awareness. Counseling has changed his life, he wants others to know it's okay to seek help, to reduce the stigma.
And he is putting his money where his mouth is, donating at least half of his salary next season to the cause, he told NBA.com's Scott Howard Cooper. He is set to make $6.8 million, by the way.
"I'm definitely considering the whole thing," Artest said. "Or maybe 60 percent."
Although he may not finalize details until the summer, he called the plan "very serious. I've talked to my wife about it already. It's a powerful message. The message is about the inspiration. That's what I want, to inspire people. People will be like, 'Wow. Why is he doing this? Oh, that's why. Wow. We need to help educate.' I didn't come [to the Lakers] for the money. Obviously I could have gone somewhere else, even a lesser market. Pay less taxes. The taxes here are freaking killing me, you know what I'm saying?"
Well, this would certainly be a nice write off, but that's not why he is doing it.
This would be in addition to the raffle of his championship ring he earned last season, with the money again going to the same cause. A cause heightened by his high-profile gestures.
- hnirobert3 - Dec 8, 2010 at 2:29 PM
He's crazy to do that. *rimshot*
- frankvzappa - Dec 8, 2010 at 4:01 PM
Ron, thanks for helping get out the word about trying to drug the half the population that isnt already medicated into sedation with pharmaceuticals and fluoride
- bstmusic1 - Dec 8, 2010 at 9:42 PM
@frankvzappa: ummm, your agenda is not reflective of the story. The story mentions counseling – not drugs, not fluoride. Speaking of mental health, your paranoia is showing, frankvzappa.
I've been very critical of Ron Ron in the past, but here's a guy who just wants to help people. Way to go, Ron.
- gnyj85 - Dec 8, 2010 at 4:27 PM
This is a good man…how many players you know would donate half, or more of their salary to help other people? (A lot of mental health issues are treated without drugs by the way). These dudes are making millions playing a game that most of us love to do when we're not working. Hopefully some other players realize this and take a page out of Artest's book of life.
- kmc33 - Dec 8, 2010 at 5:43 PM
The people who posted the first 2 comments, could also take a page or 2 out of Artest's book. I believe he is donating part of his salary, and already donated his Championship ring to help people, like myself, in putting up with people like frankvzappa, who clearly chose to talk out of the wrong end. I am by far no Lakers fan, but I applaud Artest for going above and beyond in helping out a cause he feels so strongly about.
- jhorton83 - Dec 9, 2010 at 7:21 PM
As absurd as it sounds, it really wouldn't surprise me at all if he did donate half his salary to this. Then again, nothing Ron Artest does surprises me at this point. As Bill Simmons once noted, if Ron Artest showed up to a game riding a horse naked, it really wouldn't surprise anyone.

Purty, can't wait to play. Everything looks awesome, hope the game handles as well it is looking.
I love the art driection. Glad they didn't go with boring realism like Galaxies or extreme cartton like WoW. Bioware chose the perfect blend.
The art is simply amazing in this game, can't wait to try its gameplay.
Pretty neat, can't wait til this game release...even though its pretty long time too! :D
I always like BioWare's art design. They never let me down, and I think they have quite some creative lads around the place.
Can not WAIT !!! Looking great so far, with every new clip :D
short view to say anything for now...
So why did you bother ????
wonder if it'll be explorable.. or just "on rails" which is Biowares normal... ahh well we'll see
It is perplexing that people go gaga over this and yet criticize Vanguard, EverQuest II and Age of Conan for being 'too brown.'
Just a curious observation from a TOR fan.
As everyone has already said the graphics are really good so far which is suprising to me because I was under the impression this won't be out for awhile.
That being said i didn't like the charatcer models at the start but it has grown on me

He looks great!!
Type: Posts; User: NagAAsi
He looks great!!
Horde Wraith is a definite for me.. Hopefully as a 2-pack.
I'd support any means of making more Snake-Men. So bring them on.
Great job!!! She looks beautiful!!!!
She's truly a beautiful figure!!
Well there you go!! Thanks :hmgrin:
That's because Battle Cat's new look only debuted in this issue. No explanation for the change though.
Has anybody tried putting a Snake man army builder head on Lizard Man body?? Curious how that would look.
Possibly.. ?
What is that mace thing Evil-Seed is holding? Doesn't look like it belongs to him.
Thanks!! Great job again
Ok thanks.
Wow!!! Very impressive mate!! Where is the mask/headpiece for Erlik Kan from??
If they indeed make Snake Mountain will it be vintage based or more filmation or even 200x inspired? Maybe a combination of the three. For me the less vintage the better. The Snake should really...
200x Sorceress!!!
this preveiw looks AMAZING!! I love the Snake Men and the Preternian dinos. I cant wait until tomorrow!!!
Please Mattel make the Snake Armor He-man shield. Release it later if need be but it needs to be made!!
Thanks Spirit that's good news. I doubt I'll be subbing but if they do a 200x mini sub I'll likely get that.
Can you buy an add-on sub if you don't have a main sub???
Now that's the Mattel I've come to know and love. Way to suck the excitement out of these reveals. This really blows:hmmad:
OMG!!!!! Snake Armor He-Man vs. Battle Armor King Hsss!!!! *Faints* So unexpected but so amazingly great figures!!!
Snake Armor He-Man vs. Battle Armor King Hsss they are just too awesome for words. Just hope the amazing snake sculpt is included..
This 2-pack definitely my favorite reveal EVER!!! I love everything about it except He-man' face sculpt. It just looks odd to me. And no shield again?? Drop the sword and give us that shield please!!!
:hmgrin: I was referring to the Ape Clan from the filmation ep "The Time Corridor"
Perhaps he's from the Ape Clan :hmtung:
How about a Horde Wraith 3-pack with one female Horde Wraith. She wouldn't officially be Shadow Weaver.. But fans could use her as SW in their collection.
What about just making the Horde Wraiths?!!
Eldor looks amazing!! Can't wait to add him to my collection. Thanks for the great pics TOKYONEVER!!!
With Internet Explorer you need at least version 10. Let me know if Google Chrome worked for you.
So is Snake Mountain the new base for the heroic warriors? I thought it odd that Sorceress Teela took them there.. But then as the avatar of Serpos I guess it makes sense. :hmshift:
Same thing hapened to me.. What web browser are you using? I eventually had to download Google Chrome and access the site from there.. Thats's the only thing that fixed the problem for me.

On the final day of the 2015 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championship, a PDGA Major, there was an air of excitement as the teams strode out on to the courses at the Hippodrome Disc Golf Complex. Saturday would be a day that carried with it unmeasurable amounts of emotion; the sensation of playing for something larger than one's self is often inspiring and humbling. The teams at the top and in contention for the title would need to channel the utmost focus, drive and determination in order to see it through. And, just as they had the day before, each Final came down to the wire.
The start of the 2014 - 2015 Collegiate Disc Golf Season is fast approaching. Our schedule is packed with more events than ever and we are happy to announce that we will have 25 Qualifier Events for this year's National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships. Due to another superb year of growth, we had to adjust how we compose the qualifier schedule. We have had influx of applications for events and the system we had just wasn't flexible enough to garner the growth.
When college sports fans consider some of the great rivalries throughout history, they are sure to include Auburn vs. Georgia, Penn State vs. Ohio State, South Carolina vs. Clemson, and Texas vs. Texas Tech. Schools that most likely would not make the list are Kennesaw State, Alabama-Huntsville, or Tennessee Tech. Yet all of these great institutions are on a collision course this spring, as they prepare for the 2014 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships to be held in North Augusta, South Carolina April 16-19 at the Hippodrome Sports Complex.
The end of the 2013-2014 collegiate disc golf season came to end Saturday with the conclusion of the California Clash and Gateway Collegiate Classic qualifier events. Five schools earned their spots into the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships at those tournaments.
The 2013-2014 collegiate disc golf season is starting to take shape. Two weeks ago the Great Lakes Collegiate Open kicked it off. The GLCO was not only the first event of the season, but it was also the first of six Premier Qualifiers that award two Bye Seeds to Nationals held in April. The Innova SouthEast Collegiate Open is the second Premier of the year.
The 2013-2014 Collegiate Disc Golf season kicked off on September 14th. The PDGA and Innova Disc Golf are proud supporters of the collegiate disc golf season and are a great help to our tournament directors and our players.
The University of Cailifornia at Santa Barbara had qualified for the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships, but they still had another feat ahead of them. The NCDGC is hosted in North Augusta, South Carolina. They needed to help raise money so they could make the trip. Team Captain, Mike Sale, had an idea to help the Gauchos. There was a world record out there that he had been thinking about, the most disc golf holes played in one day. What better way accomplish this great feat than doing it to help get your team to the crowning event of collegiate disc golf.
The 2013 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships finally came to an end this afternoon after 4 long days of competitive play at the Hippodrome Disc Golf Complex in North Augusta, SC.
After crowning the individual medalist on Saturday evening (Colleen Thompson, representing Illinois State University and Brett Wishon of Kennesaw State), the focus today was on the team competition finals.
Day two of the 2013 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships played host to some very exciting disc golf action. As the players arrived to the Hippodrome complex, they were treated to sunny skies and much better weather than the previous day. The scores were proof of that, as the competitors began to light it up.
ESPN featured Collegiate Disc Golf during the Mississippi State vs. Alabama football game last weekend. The highly anticipated match up of these previously undefeated SEC teams definitely had a sea of viewers watching as they featured coverage from a disc golf match between the two nationally ranked disc golf teams and showed that their rivalry exends far beyond the gridiron.
The thirty-second segment shown below seemed to be foreshadowing as the Alabama Crimson Tide beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the disc golf competition by one throw while the football team went on to secure their big win in the second half.
The first two Premier Events, two General Qualifiers, and one Playoffs Qualifier have already been completed. That means six National Collegiate Disc Golf Championship (NCDGC) spots and four National Qualifier Playoffs (NQP) spots have been earned.
At the Northeastern Collegiate Disc Golf Championships, newcomers Massachusetts-Amherst won and Penn State finished third to win their NCDGC spots.
The South Carolina Gamecocks won the SouthEast Collegiate Open for the second year in a row. However, they had already qualified for this year. Another new team, Kennesaw State, finished second to earn their NCDGC bid, while Georgia Tech took home the second NCDGC spot from the SECO Premier Event.
South Carolina won the Pocket Disc SouthEast Collegiate Open for the second year in a row this past Sunday.
The Gamecocks took a four throw lead heading into the final round of Team Doubles Sunday Morning. They held their lead over Kennesaw State University, the only team with a realistic shot of catching the leaders. Georgia sat in third place eight off the lead. USC Team Captain Josh Day and Team President Tyler Graham had their team ready to go. They shot the 4th best round of the day and added a thro to their lead to take home the title and the trophy.
SECO hosts largest collegiate field other than the National Championships.
Once again, Flex D.G. will be kicking off the collegiate disc golf season with the Northeastern Collegiate Disc Golf Championship II. This year the NECDGC will be one of six Premier tournaments chosen by the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships to award two teams spots in the 2013 Championship. The question is; will anyone besides Penn State show up to represent the northeastern colleges?
The PDGA and the National Collegiate Disc Golf Union are extremely excited about the upcoming 2012-2013 season and can't wait to see the growth of this wonderful faction of our great sport. Collegiate disc golf is a great vehicle to get our sport to the next level. Last year we had over 100 schools participate in a collegiate disc golf tournament. Our goal is to double that this year. Below is the schedule of Qualifier Events. For any and all information about collegiate disc golf, visit NCDGC.com.
Mississippi State University wins women's collegiate national title and Colorado State wins men's national title.

YIELD: Makes 4 or 5 light-lunch or first-course servings
Make phyllo triangles:
Cover phyllo stack with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a damp clean kitchen towel. Arrange 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with a long side nearest you (keep remaining sheets covered) and brush with some butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
Cut buttered phyllo stack crosswise into 5 (12- by 3 1/3-inch) strips.
Put 2 teaspoons red peppers and 2 teaspoons goat cheese near 1 corner of a strip and fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and form a triangle. Continue folding strip (like a flag), maintaining triangular shape. Put triangle, seam side down, on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Make 14 more triangles in same manner, using remaining phyllo and filling (you may have a little butter left over).
Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry triangles in 2 batches until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
Make salad:
Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add frisée and olives and toss with dressing, then season with pepper. Mound salad on plates and arrange phyllo triangles alongside.

Metroid: Other M
|Koei Tecmo
Team Ninja (Japanese: チームニンジャ?) is a Japanese video game development studio of Tecmo founded in 1995. It is formerly led by Tomonobu Itagaki and is best known for the Ninja Gaiden action-adventure game series and the Dead or Alive fighting game series.
Team Ninja was originally formed by Itagaki from the best game designers working at Tecmo specifically for the purpose of creating the home versions of Dead or Alive and its sequel, Dead or Alive 2.[2] In 2008, Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 was published by Microsoft Game Studios, making it the first game created by Team Ninja to not be published by Tecmo. Tecmo Koei later released an enhanced version of Ninja Gaiden II on the PlayStation 3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
On June 3, 2008, Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki announced that he would be leaving Tecmo and Team Ninja on July 1, 2008, citing difficulties with the company. In the same statement announcing his resignation, he also announced that he was filing a lawsuit against Tecmo over unpaid bonuses for his work on Dead or Alive 4 for the Xbox 360. It was later reported that he was fired from Tecmo on June 18, 2008 in retaliation for his lawsuit.[3] Most of his colleagues at Team Ninja quit as well to join him at his new game development team, Valhalla Game Studios. Some ex-Team Ninja members also helped with Ubisoft's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up.[4]
In June 2009, Nintendo representatives announced at its Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference that Team Ninja was developing a new Metroid game for Nintendo's Wii console, titled Metroid: Other M. It has also been revealed that Team Ninja is working on a PS3 and Xbox 360 game, which was the first time in 10 years that they would have made a multi-platform game;[5] this game turned out to be Dead or Alive 5, released in 2012.

Staff were friendly though communication was a little rough at times. We were on the 5th floor, room was a little musty and a/c didn't work but we didn't need it. Nice hot water in the shower, clean and comforable bed. Free breakfast was tasty. Location was fantastic, an easy walk to anywhere in the old quarter and only about 15-20min to the train station. If you book online try to hang on to a printout confirming your deposit; organization was not top notch.

Man that was out of the blue! Congratulations on nearing the finish line guys, you've done some phenomenal work!
Casus Belli is a realistic multiplayer mod for Crysis Wars that is inspired from the Battlefield 2 game. It takes place the context of a third world war. You embody a soldier in many different surroundings, from the Afghan deserts to Ukrainian cities. Although Casus Belli is a First Person Shooter game, it involves some Role Playing games concept that make it unique. A new background: - More than 250 new assets (buildings, vehicles, objects, etc.) - Tens of new maps - Music composed by a professional composer and played by a true professional orchestra Half-way between Battlefield and Modern Warfare 2: - Crysis nanosuit removed - Advance and Secure game mode - Classes (assault, medic, recon, sniper etc.) - Squads (spawn on the group leader) Modern Weapons: - More than 20 new modern weapons (ak74, m4, hk416, g36c, etc.) - 8 new vehicles (Abrams, T90, Hummer, etc.) Total Immersion: - Advanced body awareness - Objects can be used to stabilize weapons
The D-Day is finally here. After many years of hard work, we are proud to announce that Casus Belli is about to be released.
Posted by FTS|Fabiolo on Mar 29th, 2012
The D-Day is finally here. After many years of hard work, we are proud to announce that Casus Belli is about to be released.
All the development team would like to thank the beta testers who helped us to debug and refine the gameplay, maps and balacing.
In this version, you will find:
- Advance and secure: securize frontlines until you achieve a final mission objective.
- Conquest: capture control points.
- Capture the intelligence: take the secrets files and keep it as long as possible.
- Team death match: self explanatory.
We hope to see you on April 6 for the launch party. Meanwhile you can discover below a short extract of final trailer:
Man that was out of the blue! Congratulations on nearing the finish line guys, you've done some phenomenal work!
Yeh, didn't realise this was out so soon.
Looking at those screenshots, the top left looks like Foy from Call of duty united offensive (And im assuming it is based on that due to the setup, the Hay piles and the destroyed Tank that looks the same as in that game) and the bottom left looks kind of like the bridge area from the Cordon in Stalker.
Which makes this mod even more awesome. :O
Not really based on COD ( in never played it) but based on many movies/games/mods about Foy and Bulge battles.
Ah right. That blown out Tank model in the screenshot looks so similar to the one in UO.
Is one of the maps based on Leningrad? The part where the players falling through the air towards that massive bridge, kind of looked like Leningrad in RO1.
No not leningrad, it just a Russian anonymous town.
Very nice! Great mod, been a while since I've seen one with so much detail. Hope it works out nice for y'all
Amazing work. Can't wait!
Awesome job, if this gets populated it'll beat BF3 for sure.
Awesome, if the gameplay keeps up with the detailed maps this will be my new favourite mod! Can I play this if I have Crysis Wars on Steam?
Sure, you can also play it for free with the Crysis Wars trial

The the Sino-American Cooperation Organization, jointly run by the Chinese and U.S. governments, built prisons outside Chongqing where sympathizers of the Communist Party were imprisoned and tortured. The exhibition hall houses a few photographs and examples of the restraining devices used on the prisoners but has nothing in English. The hall and the prisons are not that interesting, but nearby Gele Mountain is worth the climb; it is peaceful and often misty, and has several small pavilions, a playground, and a monument to the martyrs at the summit.

Hello I have a question, I need to know if there is a logical fallacy for this. Let me give an example:
There are a few people playing a game online together, using voice, chat, in a busy game where of course lots of little conversations are going on along with the conversations of strategy of the game ect ect.
Someone says something, not incredibly loud but audible enough very mean in the midst of other conversations. Only one person notices it. This person brings it up, but the only defense is "everyone else didn't hear it, so it didn't happen." But they stand by this defense as if someone didn't hear one little thing is more valid than someone actually hearing a very specific thing. You could probably take this example to a crowded room of conversations where someone doesn't pick up on everything.
I am no master of logic or anything, but this doesn't make sense to me. Just because you don't perceive something, it means people who did notice it are wrong? It doesn't make sense to me that the evidence would be stronger of someone who didn't see something, compared to someone who did without a doubt see something. Just because you didn't see it happen, does not mean it didn't happen, but if someone sees it happen, it proves it did!
I know this is dumb personal drama but lets just say something like this was very hurtful that happened to me. Someone said something mean about someone else I heard, and I asked them about it, sternly but peacefully and not even that confrontational of a way, went into a rampage about how no one else heard it, and then started making fun of me for being a "lonely cripple with no friends" [I have a permanently broken hand] and everyone then removed me from every type of friends list ever in the group [and these were close friends, we even had RL trips planned together no joke], all mostly on the basis of how no one else heard it [this person who said this had a long well known history of being a pain in everyone's side in the group though too about stuff like this] so it couldn't have been true.
Thank you for your help. I know this is dumb drama between friends none of you want to hear about but I need to know thank you.

[Solved] Nvidia 8500 secondary screen tearing
I have been writing about this topic earlier.
So if there is thread which provides fix, please let me know. We have been unable to find it. And we have also tried X.org, displaydriver and VLC (and other players) to solve the problem unsuccessfully.
I'm wishing that someone with real driver experience would take a look, replicate the problem and fix it.
- Thank you
-- It finally started to work --
Hey! I did attack this problem once more as "final try". And I did get it to work.
So I did reset xorg.conf, deleted all nvidia related settings, deleted all VNC settings . Uninstalled and reinstall driver 180.44 and updated VLC to 1.0 pre-release. And guess what, now it's working.
Reason for my problem might have been some "legacy payload" from way old Ubuntu versions, I haven't instlalled from scratch for three years. I also tried as start multiple different X configurations and I had to fight with VNC to get full screen mode working at all on secondary screen. So there might have been multiple overlapping reasons why it didn't work out and some misconfiguration. It's normal that when you try to fix something by trying everything, you'll probably end up just messing up your system more.
So if you're suffering from same problem with VLC I can tell you that now it's working with 8500gt after all. I'm also using realtime priority for VLC. But I haven't tried if that option really plays any significant role with this case.
- Thank you!
P.S. Also full hd x264 1080p stuff is running nicely on both screens simultaneously.
Re: Nvidia 8500 secondary screen tearing
For starters you need to read the forums on how to post a bug report. Now if what you are referring to as a "bug" is tearing on a second monitor (whereas the other works fine), then this is not a bug in the NVIDIA driver, but a limitation of X.org itself.
In `nvidia-settings`, Go to "X Server XVideo Settings", and at the bottom you will see both your monitors and an option to "Sync to this display device". Simply sync to the monitor you are watching. You can only sync on one screen at a time. If both your monitors have the same refresh rate you shouldnt see tearing on either.
Re: Nvidia 8500 secondary screen tearing
First I'll try modifying refreshrates and test secondary screen only sync. Now I have both screen checked. At least driver allows me to do that. Clearly with arbitary results.
Screenshots my previous config. So I had same refresh rate for both screens and I did still experience tearing, but only on secondary screen. Now I have disabled sync for primary screen and only secondary screen is synced. I'll try that.
But old config:
I think I'll try OpenGL also with these new settings, if it would help.
Re: Nvidia 8500 secondary screen tearing
Just reporting that I updated to Jaunty hoping it would fix this issue. Now I'm using VLC 0.9.4, Nvidia driver 180.44 and Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. But no luck yet. Tearing is still big issue on secondary screen. Not with main screen. And yes, I still have vblack sync enabled for both screens and both screens are using same refresh rate.
As far as I know, anyone hasn't managed yet to get this to work properly. I have been googling a lot, and I haven't seen any success reports. But multiple problem reports.
It seems that it's just better to get used to tearing. It's not a major issue, but it's still very annoying.
Re: Nvidia 8500 secondary screen tearing
You still haven't posted a bug report, so you are severely limiting the amount of information anyone can gather about your system.
Is there a reason why you are not using twinview, and instead are using separate X screens? With twinview you are given the option of *only* syncing to one monitor at a time. Also when I said the refresh rate needs to be the same on both screens, I mean exactly the same. This is usually best with two identical monitors.
Try twinview and sync to only your TV, and report back.

Findings for PPC in North Charleston
North Charleston Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that North Charleston was the 279th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. North Charleston also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in South Carolina, ranking as number 3rd. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 74% Lower in North Charleston than Charleston
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in North Charleston are 74% lower than in Charleston. The average price of a click in North Charleston is $4.23.
This price differential is expected however, as Charleston has a larger population than North Charleston.
For better comparison of prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Pompano Beach, and found the average price of a click in North Charleston was 69% lower than in Pompano Beach.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Snapshot 27 May – 03 June
In Syria, the government military continued its offensive on opposition-controlled Qusayr, a strategic city in Homs province connecting the capital to the Mediterranean coast. Humanitarian agencies expressed alarm over the fate of thousands of civilians still trapped in the city. The UN estimates that over 6.8 million people are in need of humanitarian aid in Syria. While an estimated 5 million people are internally displaced, the number of Syrians registered or awaiting registration in host countries has surpassed 1.6 million.

Because last week's reblogging of Robert Anton Wilson's rather harsh critique of Carl Sagan resulted in a rather spirited dialogue on my Facebook page (friend me), I did something weird. I decided to take some of my fans advice and actually read a bit of Sagan's work, which I admitted in the post that I'd never truly done. Sadly, since I spend half my life working a soulless day job, I don't normally have much time to commit to researching things I intentionally avoid for impromptu rants. But I quite quickly found a PDF of the Demon Haunted World, which is the book several people over the years have told me I absolutely need to read, because it WILL convince me I'm not psychic or something. Ugh, I don't know what to tell you. I got through eight chapters or so and found myself utterly perplexed and a bit disgusted.… Read the rest

"The Metaphysic of Dunces": Adorno's Theses Against Occultism
Theodor Adorno links the occultism of his time with commodity fetishism. Via the Autodidact Project:
… Read the rest
I. The tendency to occultism is a symptom of regression in consciousness. This has lost the power to think the unconditional and to endure the conditional. Instead of defining both, in their unity and difference, by conceptual labour, it mixes them indiscriminately. The unconditional becomes fact, the conditional an immediate essence. Monotheism is decomposing into a second mythology. "I believe in astrology because I do not believe in God", one participant in an American socio-psychological investigation answered. Judicious reason, that had elevated itself to the notion of one God, seems ensnared in his fall. Spirit is dissociated into spirits and thereby forfeits the power to recognize that they do not exist. The veiled tendency of society towards disaster lulls its victims in a false revelation, with a hallucinated phenomenon. In vain they hope in its fragmented blatancy to look their total doom in the eye and withstand it.
The Metaphysics Of Ping-Pong
[Disinfo ed.'s note: The following is an excerpt from the Prelude to The Metaphysics Of Ping-Pong, by Guido Mina di Sospiro, published by Yellow Jersey Press, Random House, and long-listed for the William Hill Sports Book Award 2013.]
During a summer some years ago our friend Rupert Sheldrake — the controversial philosopher of science — his wife Jill and their two boys, Merlin and Cosmos, paid us a visit. I gave the boys rackets and showed them a few strokes. It was instant karma: they were hooked. Back in London, they persuaded their father to buy them a table and he himself has become a player. Every time I went to visit them there were the inevitable ping-pong matches. I'd play for hours with both sons and with Rupert, too. It was fun and, surprisingly, also intellectually stimulating. There was something unusual about the essence of the game that escaped us.… Read the rest
'Proof of Heaven' Disproven
As it turns out, the story of neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander and how he left his body to
experience Heaven was a crock of unscientific folderol (and I had no doubt for a single second).
In his book, Alexander claims that when he was in a coma caused by E. coli bacterial meningitis, he went to heaven. Of course, Dittrich's piece is not the first time that Alexander's text has come into question. In April, Michael Shermer at Scientific American explained how the author's "evidence is proof of hallucination, not heaven." But Dittrich calls into question not what Alexander experienced so much how he did. While Dittrich looks at legal troubles Alexander had during his time practicing neurosurgery, perhaps the most damning piece of testimony comes from a doctor who was on duty in the ER when Alexander arrived in 2008.… Read the rest
Graham Hancock on Good and Evil
Graham Hancock was recently interviewed by William Rowlandson Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Kent. The interview focused on many different aspects of Graham's work but with particular emphasis on his recent ventures in fiction — Entangled, published in 2010 and his forthcoming novel War God, about the Spanish Conquest of Mexico. In this extract from the longer interview Graham talks about the treatment of violence in his novels and about the struggle of good against evil. Are these real, primal forces or projections of our own minds and cultures? What do they have to teach us? Why dwell on them in works of fiction?

The Aarhus Interpretation
Via Opinion & Kommentar:
The Aarhus Interpretation : A lecture given at The Danish Neuroscience Center (DNC) on may 28TH 2010 by author and philosopher Erwin Neutzsky-Wulff:
It has been said that those who know least about the sea are the fish. The same may perhaps be said about scientists.
Working on the tenth floor of a building doesn't necessarily mean that you have any idea what is going on in the basement or how or when it was constructed. Of course, when it's burning, you may take a sudden interest in the location of the fire-escapes.
Also, if you're a window-cleaner, you may be more aware of what floor you're on. In science, the window-cleaners are those who work on the frontiers of science.
In a way, they're always half in and half out of the building. They are also more likely to fall off or to discover a crack in the concrete.… Read the rest
The Supernatural World
Preface to The Supernatural World by Danish author and philosopher Erwin Neutzsky-Wulff:
… Read the rest
Dear reader!
Are you fascinated by the supernatural? By the idea, that there may be a deeper meaning to existence?
That demons – or just beings from other worlds or dimensions – actually exist? Or do you simply wonder why some people seem to believe in, or even in some form experience, the supernatural?
If not, then you probably belong to a very small minority. In all likelihood it will not have escaped your attention, that there are entire retail chains, that exist to provide you with anything from gemstones with healing properties to inverted crosses – anything according to taste.
What is it all about? And what has auras and reincarnation got to do with the religion we were taught at Sunday school?
Are people who communicate with spirits insane, do they have real contact, or maybe both?
The Meaning of Sacred Geometry, Part Two: What's The Point?
FreeMasonry, Kabbalah, Nuclear Physics, Blackholes, Space Time and the Mustard seed of our reality deftly analyzed and synthesized for your consideration.
"The practice of Sacred Geometry opens to the mind's eye an analog of alternate worlds, higher dimensions representing the ultimate creative process and an unfolding evolution from Unity to multiplicity, and it demonstrates the fact that this unfolding on a cosmic scale is governed by the laws and relations of geometry."

The Meaning of Sacred Geometry Part 2: What's The Point?
… Read the rest
Read part 1 of the Meaning of Sacred Geometry here,
"Ante omnia Punctum exstitit…"
"Before all things were, there was a Point."
Anonymous, 18th century 'Le Mystere de la Croix'
Sacred Geometry, to be fully appreciated and experienced, must be undertaken as a contemplative, or meditative exercise. From the initial act of putting pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with meaning.
The Religious Worship Of Robotic Machines As Nature Perfected
A guide named Nashi narrates the audience journey in an uncanny forest. What are the creatures that live there, living beings or robots? Nashi states that even the things we consider synthetic and artificial are as sacred as plants and stones. AUJIK are a new age group that shares Shintos' belief that everything of nature is animated. Just as with other forms of animism, AUJIK worships everything that comes out of nature, the main difference with AUJIK is that science and technology is considered as sacred as stones and trees. The Shinto priest Hideaki spoke about similar things in the 18th century after he had seen a Karakuri doll(a clockwork robot made of wood) and claimed that in the future we will create mechanical characters that will become so superior to our own intelligence that we will subject [ourselves] as they were gods.
Randall Carlson on The Meaning of Sacred Geometry
The Meaning of Sacred Geometry
by Randall Carlson
Most of us tend to think of geometry as a relatively dry, if not altogether boring, subject remembered from our Middle school years, consisting of endless axioms, definitions, postulates and proofs, hearkening back, in fact, to the methodology of Euclids Elements, in form and structure a masterly exposition of logical thinking and mental training but not the most thrilling read one might undertake in their leisure time. While the modern, academic approach to the study of geometry sees it as the very embodiment of rationalism and left brain, intellectual processes, which indeed it is, it has neglected the right brain, intuitive, artistic dimension of the subject. Sacred geometry seeks to unite and synthesize these two dynamic and complementary aspects of geometry into an integrated whole. Robert Lawlor addresses this fundamentally dualistic nature of geometry in his essential work: Sacred Geometry – Philosophy and Practice (1982), in reference to a medieval representation of geometry as a woman seated at a table, with compasses in hand, surrounded by the implements of the art:
"Geometry as a contemplative practice is personified by an elegant and refined woman, for geometry functions as an intuitive, synthesizing, creative yet exact activity of mind associated with the feminine principle.… Read the rest

School Notes:
North Shore Montessori School offers the finest enriched learning experience for Preschool and Kindergarten children. The Montessori classroom is an environment which is carefully prepared by the teacher. The whole learning environment - room, materials and social climate - must be supportive of the learner. The teacher provides necessary resources, including opportunities for children to function in a safe and positive climate. The teacher thus gains the children's trust, which enables them to try new things and build self-confidence. Montessori children are extremely adaptable. They learn to work both independently and in groups. Since they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, they are natural problem-solvers who make appropriate choices and manage their time well.

Or, to put this another way, the person who puts her hope in respectability is like the foolish man who built his house on sand.

At the same time, they move him closer to understanding his worth as a hero and his strength as a leader.
Six weeks ago, that understanding changed for me, in a rather radical way.
Nothing so specific, although I had an understanding of what those possibilities might have been.
Old English understandincge "comprehension," from understand (q.v.). Meaning "mutual agreement" is attested from 1803.
Old English understandan "comprehend, grasp the idea of," probably literally "stand in the midst of," from under + standan "to stand" (see stand). If this is the meaning, the under is not the usual word meaning "beneath," but from Old English under, from PIE *nter- "between, among" (cf. Sanskrit antar "among, between," Latin inter "between, among," Greek entera "intestines;" see inter-).
That is the suggestion in Barnhart, but other sources regard the "among, between, before, in the presence of" sense of Old English prefix and preposition under as other meanings of the same word. "Among" seems to be the sense in many Old English compounds that resemble understand, e.g. underniman "to receive," undersecan "to investigate," underginnan "to begin." It also seems to be the sense still in expressions such as under such circumstances.
Perhaps the ultimate sense is "be close to," cf. Greek epistamai "I know how, I know," literally "I stand upon." Similar formations are found in Old Frisian (understonda), Middle Danish (understande), while other Germanic languages use compounds meaning "stand before" (cf. German verstehen, represented in Old English by forstanden). For this concept, most Indo-European languages use figurative extensions of compounds that literally mean "put together," or "separate," or "take, grasp" (see comprehend). Old English oferstandan, Middle English overstonden, literally "over-stand" seem to have been used only in literal senses.
