Stained by the debt crisis and shaky legal foundations, can bankers breathe new life into ailing global Shari'a banking sector?
June 7, 2011 12:06 by Reuters
Top Islamic banking officials will meet in Singapore this week to discuss ways to revive an industry which has stalled as interest in new markets cool and legal uncertainties cloud the role of sukuk as funding tools.
Once touted as a viable alternative to traditional banking, Islamic finance has failed to make a mark outside its core markets as countries from Britain to Hong Kong and Australia put on hold sukuk issuance plans and proposed regulatory changes to accommodate sharia banking.
Its reputation stained by Dubai's $26 billion debt crisis in 2009, Islamic finance is struggling to attract investors' attention with emerging markets flush with funds, in contrast to 2008 when the global crisis shut down credit markets and prompted a search for alternative sources of finance.
"Islamic financing has been clouded by the sovereign debt issues in Europe and quantitative easing has resulted in a lot of funds from the U.S. moving into various emerging markets," said Anuwar Idris, head of marketing and business development at Affin Fund Management in Kuala Lumpur.
Dwarfed by the size and financial muscle of its conventional banking rival, the $1 trillion Islamic finance industry needs to find new markets beyond the Middle East and Southeast Asia for growth.
In the first meeting of top officials since the Middle East unrest broke, Gulf and Asian regulators and bankers will gather in Singapore on Wednesday and Thursday to restore confidence in sukuk as fund-raising instruments.
Several high-profile sukuk defaults have thrown up legal uncertainties such as the extent to which sukuk holders own assets underpinning the issue when the instrument sours.
Kuwait's International Investment Group defaulted on two sukuk payments last year, and The Investment Dar, which owns half of British carmaker Aston Martin, defaulted on sukuk in May 2009. U.S. energy firm East Cameron defaulted on its sukuk issue in 2008.
The legal uncertainties contributed to a drop in Islamic bond issuance last year, bankers have said. Sukuk sales fell 26 percent to $14 billion in 2010, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Badlisyah Abdul Ghani, chief executive officer of Malaysia's CIMB Islamic Bank, said the industry would pick take some time to pick up.
"When Islamic finance was introduced in Malaysia, it took a few years before other players started to pick up the business," he said. "When it was opened to 1993 to other players, it took about five years before we saw a lot of momentum." (Reporting by Liau Y-Sing; Editing by Ramya Venugopal)

Farmers share an interest in job creation and a better state economy, but do not believe comprehensive tax reform can be accomplished without considering property taxes, the president of Nebraska Farm Bureau said Thursday.
It is widely understood that Nebraska and its citizens have weathered the nation's economic troubles better than the rest of the country due to the strength of agriculture, our states number one industry," Nelson said. "It is difficult to see how raising taxes on families involved in farming and ranching can help grow the state's economy.
Nelson noted that farmers and ranchers face the prospect of a second year of drought as well as higher input costs. He said agriculture is a cyclical business.
"Decisions about agricultures treatment in our states tax policy should be based on historical performance and not simply a few good years," he said.
Agriculture and associated businesses are a primary job creator in our state, accounting for one out of every four jobs. Tax policy that harms agriculture will cost the state jobs and will not be good for Nebraska, Nelson said.

I really enjoy films about mouthy children. I enjoy them more when they use discarded editing techniques that even comedies infrequently use (shame?). But really, I can watch this film and not want a knife to the eye because of the dolls. The men have their part but this film was intended to form a new wave of gals and dolls. Mouthy girls who aren't ashamed to shout about their sexuality, imaginative or not.

|Springfield rocks! Following up the release of 1990's THE SIMPSONS SING THE BLUES, those crazy cartoon characters from the hit TV show return with a family-fun album called THE YELLOW ALBUM. The wacky collection of toon tunes is sung mostly by the characters, but there are also some heavy guest appearances. "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves," a cover of the Eurythmics' song, features sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart along with Lisa Simpson, while "Funny How Time Slips Away" finds Homer crooning a duet with Linda Ronstadt.
|The album has varied production styles including dance and rap music courtesy of Robert Clivilles and David Cole ("Love?," "I Just Can't Help Myself") and funk from the legendary George Clinton ("She's Comin' Out Swingin'"). The aforementioned family fun is the overall theme here, and THE YELLOW ALBUM achieves its goal without ever getting corny. Appearances from Simpsons supporting characters Apu, Otto, Krusty the Klown and Patty & Selma add to the laughter.

East Carolina Senior
40: 5.50
Shows nice athleticism. Sets up well with his hands to deliver a punch and shows ability to mirror speed. Shows some pop at times and able to get position, especially on the kickout block. Does his best work when blocking in space. Does a good job hitting his assignments on the second level and shows ability to lock on in space and locate moving targets.
Is a waist bender with very raw technique. Gives up ground to the bull rush and does a poor job initiating contact on the edge. When he does, his punch is weak and he whiffs often. Doesn't have good footwork, and slides his feet causing him to lose base and struggles to anchor vs. the bull rush. Backpedals off the line and needs to do a better job with his kick slide. Takes a false step at times as run blocker and it limits his pop as a straight-ahead run blocker. Doesn't show ability to consistently lock on as a run blocker and limits his ability to get push. Lacks mean streak and doesn't finish his blocks consistently. Flagged multiple times, including 5 times for false start and twice for holding in the three games I saw.
Smith is the type of player that has athleticism that NFL teams are looking for, but is very raw in his technique and may not show the intangibles to think he's going to get better. He started his career as a 265-pound defensive lineman, recording 7 tackles and 1 for loss as a freshman reserve. But moved to offense the following year, getting some reps as a backup lineman and tight end. Started 27 games at left tackle the past two seasons. He might project better as a blocking tight end for some teams because of his athleticism.
Smith doesn't flash the sort of mean streak that most defensive converts have. He is raw and several years from being able to compete at the next level. If he can be stashed on a practice squad for two years, I think he has a shot at developing into a decent reserve tackle down the road. He might also be able to play guard as well if his technique never improves to the level where teams are comfortable with him on the outside. At best, you're probably going to get a poor man's Wade Smith. Wade Smith struggled early during his career at left tackle, but moved inside to guard and center, and in his 9th year in the league managed to be the Houston Texans best blocker at guard. The same is possible for WIllie, but he'll have to show significant improvement during the early part of his career. The lack of mean streak and susceptibility for penalties which indicates lacking mental toughness and focus don't make me optimistic. If he plays in a scheme that asks him to pull and block on the second level, I think he can do that well. But his hand use and footwork are raw and sloppy, and unless a coach can fix that he'll be very limited even as a depth player. And again because of those questionable intangibles, I don't expect he'll improve. He's the type of player that if I was an NFL team would let someone else do his development during his rookie contract, and then try to pick him up as a free agent later on. As was the case with Wade Smith or a similar prospect like Frank Omiyale, the team that drafts him is unlikely to get a return on their investment.
Smith is worth a look in the Falcons camp and could be developed as a swing tackle and guard in the same mold as Valdez. But like Valdez, he'll have to spend two years on the practice squad. Then he might have improved enough to make some waves as a reserve, but likely will have ridden the pine for the next two years. And then, if he shows enough improvement might merit a second contract as a reserve. But he's very unlikely to do anything beyond being an average backup in Atlanta unless he really takes to coaching, which seems doubtful at this point.
I have the feeling that some team is going to draft him because they like his upside, but I think he's not worth a draft pick because of his long development time and raw skills. Sign him as an undrafted free agent.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 2.5
Pass Blocking: 2.0
Run Blocking: 2.5
Footwork: 2.5

Warning: Do NOT stare at the album covers in this gallery for more than 5 seconds. Seriously, the art may induce retina damage…or just cause your mind to explode trying to comprehend the insane illustrations!
Popular music -particularly metal and hip hop- has a long and storied history of outrageous artwork. Even old dudes like Meat Loaf, Rod Stewart
and Elton John rode the crazy train back in the day (as did Black Sabbath), and there are plenty of folks to carry on the tradition today. Some like RZA, Snoop Dogg's Doggiestyle, and Outkast have gone for comic book chic, while others went with more of a video game vibe, like Redman as Super Mario on Doc's Da Name 2000 or Rich Homie Quan.
Metal headbangers tend to go a little more surreal, with Nazareth depicting a jockey riding a dolphin off a cliff, Pantera's nightmarish Thundercat-like metal god, and Dio's debut featuring the band's mascot seemingly drowning a priest with chains. We aren't quite sure what that means, but at least we can identify the objects on the cover, which is more than can be said for Riot's…we're TOTALLY stumped on that one! Head up to the gallery above and see what you make of some of these awesomely insane illustrated album covers!

Amy Bishop, 47, pleaded guilty to one count of capital murder involving two or more people and three counts of attempted murder during a hearing in Huntsville. She had earlier pleaded not guilty, and her lawyers said she planned to use an insanity defense.

As deeply as the mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., shocked the national conscience, they also quickly affected the U.S. political scene, with both major party presidential campaigns ripping up their scripts for Friday, and the mayor of the nation's largest city using the issue to put the candidates on the spot on gun control.

"Art and Not Bits and Bytes"
Last Friday, Rhizome published a new artwork by Oliver Laric that was originally made for BiennaleOnline, but which could not be shown because HTML code and outgoing links were (surprisingly, for an online biennial) proscribed. Today, BiennaleOnline organizer David Dehaeck fires back in the pages of El País, saying "The BiennaleOnline is about art and not bits and bytes."
Commissions Deadline Extended to May 15
Over the past couple days, my inbox has been filled with pleas for deadline leniency from bleary-eyed artists around the world who, presumably upon stumbling from their beds after several weeks of napping, suddenly realized that proposals for Rhizome commissions were due imminently. Never fear: we hear your pleas. You now have until May 15. Get cracking!
I would like to remind you of several salient facts. Awards are typically between $1,000 and $5,000. Four of the awards will be given to artists from New York. One of the commissions will go to an artist (from anywhere) with a proposal for a socially-engaged project to take place in New York. Three commissions will be given to projects that engage with Tumblr. I'm not sure of the math, but some grants will also go to artists who are not from New York and engaged neither socially nor with Tumblr.
As always, members will vote for one of the commissions; voting will now open on May 16.
Ryder Ripps' "Hyper Current Living"

Tilda Swinton hasn't reappeared in her box at MoMA since Ebertfest, but there's a new endurance performance in town. Through May 5, Ryder Ripps, artist and co-founder of Dump.fm and digital agency OKFocus, will be living and working among the music studios at Red Bull Music Academy in a residency space that he designed with Chen Chen and Kai Williams. Wearing a karate uniform featuring bull-themed graphics, he will be drinking cans of Red Bull and generating new ideas for artworks and online projects.
Oliver Laric's Response to BiennaleOnline

Rhizome is pleased to present a new artwork by Oliver Laric, An Incomplete Timeline of Online Exhibitions and Biennials (2013). Initially intended for inclusion in BiennialeOnline 2013 organized by ARTPLUS, the work is now launching as part of the Rhizome ArtBase instead.
Seven on Seven 2013: Recap
This past Friday, seven artists and seven technologists, working in pairs assigned by Rhizome, took up residence in workspaces across the city. The rules of engagement were simple: they were given one day to make something, which would be made public the following day at Rhizome's Seven on Seven conference, presented by HTC.
Seven on Seven can have the feel of an Olympic figure skating mixed pairs event in which the pairs have never met before. Part of the drama is around whether they hit the triple axel, so to speak: will their projects be any good? But there is another dimension to the drama as well, which has to do with the conversations and relationships that unfold on stage, the sparks that fly when two interesting minds come together.
What follows is a description of the projects that came out of Saturday's event, as well as the sparks.

Thunderbolt Games
This all might sound a bit simple-minded and silly, if you've never heard of Jet Grind Radio before. I assure you, the plot is entirely inane and nonsensical up until the very end. That's really not my style, I don't like when games think they're really funny or that they've got more style than they really do. However, that's not Jet Grind Radio. It has an over-abundance of style and personality around every bend and fits all the aspects that should make up a perfect game into one tight package. This is my idea of how flawless looks, sounds, feels, and plays. It's not so much that it gave me a new standard, but it has certainly redefined how I view innovation in gaming.
Gaming Age
Jet Grind Radio is the best Dreamcast game of the year and a must-have game for any Dreamcast gamer. Buy it without hesitation, you will not be disappointed.
What's left to say? If Sega keeps cranking out thoroughly amazing titles like JGR, the Dreamcast could remain on top for years. While the other next-gen systems stumble through their first generation titles, the Dreamcast drives into new territory with incredibly innovative titles. Jet Grind Radio is an excellent example of what video games could be – artistic, insanely fun, and original.
Game Chronicles
Jet Grind Radio simply oozes with style and is probably the most fun you can have with your Dreamcast. I'm only sorry I waited almost a year before I realized what I had been missing and despite the lateness of this review I encourage every one of you with a Dreamcast to run out and buy this game right now. You should be able to find it in the discount bins for $9.99. I guarantee you will have countless hours of addictive, challenging, and just pure fun gameplay with Jet Grind Radio.
Official Dreamcast Magazine (U.S.)
Like a kerosene bull in a fireworks factory constructed out of matchsticks, Jet Grind Radio is set to light the autumn skies ablaze. Not only does it mark the release of yet another triple-A Dreamcast title, but it signals a virtual call-to-arms for gamers everywhere: This is one of the most involving, well-designed and downright beautiful games ever created, and it's just the sort of landmark title that revitalizes one's faith in videogames. If you have ever used the words 'hardcore' and 'gamer' in the same sentence (or even adjacent sentences) to describe yourself, you absolutely, positively, must play this game.
Holy crap! Get this game! It is the most fun you can have playing a game on any system right now. Superb graphics, fun plot, replayability, custom graffiti you can download from the net, cool characters, hot music, and addictive gameplay! Dare I say this is the best action game on the market! I dare and it is. If you do not buy this game you will only be shorting yourself a truly awesome video game experience.
With prices on the Dreamcast as low as they are now; I implore you to grab yourself a console and this game. There are easily a dozen games that are must haves', and their cost is under $20. Jet Grind Radio tops my list for one of the best Dreamcast games to ever; and possibly of all time.
I'm not quite sure what a Smilebit is, personally. But if they could bottle and sell it, game developers worldwide would undoubtedly be compelled to unanimously declare a new favorite beverage, because in Jet Grind Radio, this team has unquestionably displayed that they indeed have "the stuff."
Gaming Target
Jet Grind Radio is easily one of the best games to be developed for Dreamcast. Even though the camera can be a pain in the ass a few times more than it should have, things are never unbearable. This game just has so much personality it's almost sickening. Perfect graphics and sound, mixed with near flawless gameplay is the ideal recipe for a brilliant game. If this doesn't sell systems, I don't know what will.
The game itself is very fun, and allows for one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences EVER! I highly recommend this game, as Jet Grind Radio is a definite must-have for any self-respecting Dreamcast owner.
Game Vortex
In the end, Jet Grind Radio is one of the most original experiences you'll ever have on a video-game system today. It's like when, back in the late eighties and early nineties, new genres were still being developed. The first few offerings had their rough edges, but they were still amazing, and one can only marvel at what can be done in the second iteration. Multiplayer support, a tighter camera, and tighter controls are the only things that can really be done to make Jet Grind Radio any better. As it is, any self-respecting Dreamcast owner should have this game.
Power Unlimited
Jet Set Radio heeft naast een geweldige verhaallijn ook nog een onuitputtelijke replay value omdat je na het uitspelen van het spel nog urenlang kunt doorgaan met het verkennen van de behaalde levels. Ook opties als zelf je tags ontwerpen of te downloaden van het internet geven het spel een extra dimensie.
MaXoE Games
En résumé, et vous l'aurez déjà compris, Jet Set Radio est un excellent jeu, qui souffre de défauts ennuyants par moments mais qui se révèlent minuscules par rapport au plaisir de jeu. On attend avec impatience une suite, qui avec mode multi joueurs pourrait une fois de plus nous impressionner!
Concluyendo, estamos ante uno de los mejores juegos de Dreamcast, un clásico intemporal que sólo ha sido superado por su secuela, Jet Set Radio Future, aunque el estilo de los gráficos no es exactamente igual. Smilebit hizo historia creando una pequeña obra de arte, tanto estética como jugable, y popularizando el "cell shading". Nadie debería dejar pasar la oportunidad de probar este juego, puede gustarte o puede que lo odies, pero seguro que no te deja indiferente.
Gameplay RPG
Voilà un jeu qui a fait beaucoup parler de lui lors de sa sortie au Japon, et qui risque bien de faire un carton aussi en Europe.
Bringing gorgeous graffiti to your Dreamcast, Jet Set Radio is a stormer of a game that's packed with original ideas
Jet Set Radio, se presenta como una de las joyas en bruto que merece ser pulida por todos nosotros para llegar al Olimpo del video-juego... Altas cotas de originalidad, geniales gráficos, impresionante banda sonora, y magnífica jugabilidad son las premisas que llevan a este juego a convertirlo en uno de los serios competidores de Shenmue, como juego a ser comprado por todos estas navidades.
Defunct Games
When Sega makes a good game, they make a genre to go along with it. I'm hard pressed to classify the game. Is it a third person shooter? No, you never use a gun. Perhaps a graffiti sim? Not quite. But whatever it is, its fantastic!
Mega Fun
Mit dicken Augenrändern bin ich während der letzten Tage in die Redaktion marschiert. Bis früh in den Morgen habe ich immer wieder versucht, einen weiteren Level des Ausnahmetitels erfolgreich zu meistern. Sega erschuf eine wahre Droge, von der ich nicht mehr lassen kann! Jet Set (Grind) Radio zählt somit für mich schon jetzt zu einem der besten Titel des Jahres!
Gamer's Pulse
Overall, Jet Set Radio offers a highly unique experience to gamers. This game can't really be placed in any one genre; it's a totally new style of game. Of course, for those of us who own Dreamcasts, we come to expect this from Sega all the time. But everyone else out there is definitely missing out on something extremely special. Games like this don't come along very often, so those of you out there who call yourselves gamers should really aim to play Jet Set Radio at least once, even if you only rent it. And now, with Dreamcast at such a low price, there has never been a better time to pick up and enjoy Jet Set Radio. So if you are reading this review and don't own a Dreamcast, stop reading and go to your local store to pick one up, or risk missing out on one of the most unique games ever created.
Being a game reviewer means you get to play a lot of titles, and a lot of the time it can become a chore to play a game. When the review is done, most games get shelved. That won't be the case with Jet Set Radio. This game is very enjoyable and definately has that replayability which so many games seem to lack these days. With a great soundtrack and some of the coolest characters ever this game will keep you playing for weeks. If you are a parent be warned that there is a lot of "tagging" required throughout the game, as it really is the main theme of the game. If you don't want your kids to think this is a cool idea at a young age you may want to steer clear. For others, the graphics, sound and gameplay will blow you away.
The Next Level
Despite the level of difficulty in the game, it's still an extremely fun title to get your hands on. Even after you beat it, there's still some great features (that will hopefully be left in the domestic version), like the Time Attack modes where you can upload your scores online to compare with other players. Overall, Sega has a real winner on its hands; a game that's not only fun for anyone over the age of 10 to play, but highly marketable as well. With the level of quality that goes into both the presentation of the game as well as the actual gameplay, I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the titles that helps Sega attempt to weather the upcoming storm that is the PlayStation 2.
Game Revolution
Sega should be proud of their accomplishments with Jet Grind Radio, a game that brings out the best of the Dreamcast. With its fresh attitude and fun gameplay, this is a great alternative to sniffing paint cans in the morning.
Einfach unglaublich was Sega mit diesem Spiel geschaffen hat! Jet Set Radio sprüht nur so vor Spielwitz und Style und markiert definitiv den Höhepunkt des japanischen Herstellers an Innovation und Ideenreichtum. Grafisch, sound- und präsentationstechnisch auf aller höchstem Dreamcast-Niveau, fesselt der Titel auch aufgrund der gelungenen Mischung aus Trendsport, Geschicklichkeit und Action ans Pad! Denn der Spielfluss bleibt trotz so vieler verschiedener Elemente stets hoch und wird auch nie durch einen unfairen Schwierigkeitsgrad gestört. Wäre der Umfang des Spiel nur nicht so knapp ausgefallen, hätts vielleicht zu "9,5 von 10" gereicht. Trotzdem aber immer noch ein Spiel, das man gesehen und gespielt haben muss. So viel Spaß hat man selten!
Come già detto, Jet Set Radio è un titolo imprescindibile nella bacheca di ogni videogiocatore che si rispetti, anche solo per ciò che ha rappresentato al tempo della sua uscita che risale a oramai dieci lunghi anni fa. Un punto di riferimento per gli amanti della cultura hip hop e una inaspettata sorpresa per chi non la ha mai sopportata, ma soprattutto un acquisto imprescindibile per gli amanti del Dreamcast e dei tempi d'oro del Videogioco moderno inteso come espressione d'arte. Non averlo sarebbe un reato… peggiore che "imbrattare i muri".
Adrenaline Vault, The (AVault)
It's hard to describe exactly how it works out so well, but the graphics and music make a perfect union with the subject matter in this title, and the resulting fusion is an absolute joy to behold. Aside from some troublesome camera work and a clunky save game interface, Jet Grind Radio is easily one of the best offerings released in 2000 for the Dreamcast. [...] Patience is a virtue however, and those who press on past the steep learning curve will develop a new appreciation for the arts of level design and musical compilation. Mix in an impressive new technique for rendering characters that captures the spirit of animation while still being 3D, and you should have ample reason to master the rail slides and jumps needed to complete each level. With the possible exception of those that absolutely detest action games, any Dreamcast owner should strap on their blades and grind their way to the closest retailer for a copy of this high-flying gem.
All Game Guide
All in all, this mix of brilliant graphics, gameplay variety, and music makes for what might have been the greatest of Dreamcast games -- if only they'd bothered to toss in a two-player simultaneous mode. This is a glaring omission and would have almost certainly put the game over that nebulous masterpiece hurdle, whereas now it only skirts delicately against the surface of that prestigious bubble. Still, all qualms aside, Jet Grind Radio deserves to be recognized, and every Sega supporter and lover of quality games should go out and get it. Now.
In conclusione Jet Set Radio è un'esperienza assolutamente da non perdere, densa di un originale e moderno stile artistico legato al fin troppo bistrattato universo Hip Hop, nel quale una volta portato a termine il gioco vi sentirete per tanto tempo indissolubilmente appartenenti.
Planet Dreamcast
Jet Grind Radio is a unique experience. The graphics are some of the most amazing you'll see on any of the "next-generation" consoles this year, and prove once again that with a little ingenuity, the Dreamcast can be even more visually stimulating than any of its more powerful brothers. Add in a fun soundtrack, gameplay that is as unique as anything else on the market today, and a great sense of style, and you know that Sega has a real winner on its hands. From the second you turn on your Dreamcast, you'll realize you're stepping into a game world like no other, and you may never want to leave. Simply put, Jet Grind Radio is one of the best titles available this holiday season, and a great addition to the already amazing Dreamcast library.
GamePro (US)
Jet Grind Radio is a unique and fun action game. The excellent graphics and unique look back the solid gameplay. It's certainly one of the best games for the Dreamcast this year. The simple, but challenging gameplay will suck you in. Do yourself a favor and grab Jet Grind.
Magnifique, superbe, sensationnel, autant d'adjectifs qui prennent tout leur sens dans Jet set radio. Des graphismes éblouissants, une jouabilité qui frise la perfection ; décidément, le jeu qui va révolutionner le gameplay sur Dreamcast semble bien être arrivé. Un concept simple mais radicalement efficace qui contentera tous les joueurs, petits et grands, gamers et néophytes avec ses mouvements délirants et son approche très ludique. En un mot, n'attendez plus et grindez vous procurer ce titre incontournable qui vous assurera des moments de plaisir intenses.
Armchair Empire, The
Gamers looking for something different to play on their Dreamcast should seriously consider getting Jet Grind Radio. The unique gameplay alone makes the title worth spending some time with.
I imported this game two months ago and I still find myself wanting to do some more destruction of property. Very high replay value.
Un véritable hit en puissance que ce Jet Set Radio somptueux tant par l'originalité, que le gameplay ou encore la réalisation. On scotche rapidement et il vous faudra du temps avant de lâcher Jet Set Radio et son fun incroyable.
At first glance, Jet Grind Radio looks like an attempt to cash in on the recent skateboarding craze - but nothing could be farther from the truth. Sega's Jet Grind Radio is a game full of redefinitions, forcing you to really rethink what you expect out of a game from an audio/visual standpoint while delivering some exciting, balanced gameplay at the same time.
Gamezone (Germany)
Dieser Titel hat so viel Charme, daß es ein Vergehen wäre, sich diesen Titel nicht zu zulegen. Neben den tollen Tricks, beeindruckt die gesamte Rundum-Story. In der Stadt Tokio gibt es einige Gangs, die natürlich ihr Revier mit Graffitis markieren. Hier heißt es, sich gegen andere zu behaupten, indem man der eigenen Clique dabei hilft, die Tags anderer mit den eigenen zu übersprühen.
GameSpot UK
Jet Set Radio is one of those "something for everyone" games that really make a perfect addition to the Dreamcast library. While all of the game's speech is already in English, the tag editor and text throughout the game are all in Japanese, so it might be easier to just wait for the game's UK release later this year under the name Jet Grind Radio.
Digital Press - Classic Video Games
Even a game this good has to have some flaws. The camera is at times sporadic, but by no means hindering to the gameplay. Also, the control can be hard to grasp from the start, frustrating those with little patience. Otherwise, Sega has created the world's most innovative game in at least five years. Anyone who owns a Dreamcast owes it to themselves to see what the fuss is about.
The Video Game Critic
One major thing that annoyed me about this game is the camera work. Some levels have cramped areas, and you'll really struggle to get a good angle. And that's no fun when the police are beating you with clubs like Rodney King (I'm not kidding!). Jet Grind is unlike any other game out there. It's far from perfect, but it deserves a look.
Gaming since 198x
Jeu sous estimé sur une console sous estimée, JSR fait souvent partie des tops 10 "des jeux que vous ne devriez pas rater" et on comprend pourquoi.
Super Play
Sega är verkligen på hugget nu. De står för de mest innovativa titlarna vi har för tillfället. Jet Set Radio är en någorlunda smart produktion som självfallet kommer att imiteras. Men originalet förblir oftast det bästa och det är därför jag hoppas att ni kommer att tycka om Jet Set Radio lika mycket som jag.
Game Critics
Jet Grind Radio shows us a new and fun visual style and combines it with great music and fast gameplay to create one hell of an initial thrill. There are a lot of things to do within the game, but sometimes it's more concerned with overloading your eyes and ears with color and sound than it is with trying new things gameplay-wise. You could even say it relies a little too much on the graphics and music instead of giving more depth to the game world and refining the suspect game camera. This is not to say that the graphics and music aren't worthy of such attention (because they are), but there were times in Jet Grind Radio when it needed just a touch more emphasis on making the game geniunely fun rather than making it just look fun. However, its high energy and outlandish vision are able to cover up for any holes a finicky gamer like me might find. Ultimately, Jet Grind Radio is another distinctive title from Sega, and one that could define what next generation games are all about.
Game Freaks 365
I was always a big fan of the cell-shaded graphics in this game. They are really quite nice for Dreamcast, while still keeping up a good frame rate. I got this game as a gift, but I don't think I would have bought it on my own. It is a very hard game and it took me forever to beat. I wouldn't buy it, I know it's definitely worth trying. I guess that's why its on the official Dreamcast demo disk.

The message is excellent and couldn't come at a better time: wake up! Seek God.
The literary apparatus of contrasting the the wild woman and the wise woman is done with much though; the author makes it a fun, quick read, packed with truth and conviction.
Highly recommend.

When the publisher of this book suggested I read and review this book because it would be perfect content for my blog, which is geared toward young women and teens, I jumped at the opportunity.
And I, as well, figured that it would be perfect for my audience of readers. We were both right, it is a perfect example of the message I'm am trying to get out to the young women of today.
Girls Gone Wise is a "must read" for every woman, young or old, on the planet. That may sound a little extreme, but once you've read it for yourself, you will understand my thinking behind that statement.
Mary Kassain delivers a strong message of the importance of making wise choices when it comes to our roles as a women. She spells out the negative consequences that wild choices, as well as, wild behavior, will bring us if we choose to live our lives in such a manner.
She points out that many women, and even teens, have been duped into believing that immodest dress and behavior are the norm for today's woman, and should be adhered to. And by following these societal guidelines, a woman will some how be rewarded. When in reality the opposite is true. And some women have completely lost their bearings as to which direction to go, in terms of portraying herself to the world and to the opposite sex.
With much biblical accuracy, she clearly contrasts the wise women of the bible from Proverbs 31, with the wild women of the bible from Proverbs 7. In hopes to guide and bring understanding to women, of all ages, concerning their discernment of what is good, and acceptable, and noble, not only to the Lord, but for personal reasons as well. For there are many rewards for good and righteous conduct.
She challenges women to examine themselves in a realistic manner using the bible and the Lord's teachings as a guide. She persuades them to look at their own behaviors, attitudes, appearance, speech and more. To consider their heart in the light of the scripture.
I loved this book, and I highly recommend it to your daughters, nieces, sisters, grand-daughters and friends. Personally, I am giving it to my daughter for Christmas. This is a well overdue subject and I am so glad it has finally been brought up.
Praise for "Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild" by Mary A. Kassian

15. Celebrate Mother's Day
Make Mom feel special with a trip to the Bronx for a Mother's Day Weekend Garden Party at the New York Botanical Garden. Live music, games, hands-on nature activities, picnicking, and the garden's amazing array of plants and flowers all make this a worthwhile trip into the city.

Check our calendar for upcoming events.
18. Get up-close and personal with dinosaurs.
Travel back in time—to the Jurassic period, to be exact—at Field Station: Dinosaurs in Secaucus, NJ (in nearby Hudson County). This 20-acre zoo-like adventure park, where the "animals" are actually animatronic dinosaurs, typically opens Memorial Day weekend.
19. Play with animals.
Take a day trip to nearby Putnam County in late May for Little Folk Farm Days at Green Chimneys in Brewster. Kids can ride the ponies, watch live shows, do crafts, and play games at this nonprofit that focuses on animal therapy and nature education.

On late spring and summer weekends, the Fort Montgomery State Historic Site in nearby Orange County (690 Route 9W in Fort Montgomery, just north of Bear Mountain) hosts living history demonstrations complete with costumed interpreters and musket and cannon firings (featuring the fort's pride and joy, a 32-pound cannon named George).

Customer Reviews of VideoSecu Tilt TV Wall Mount for 32" - 58" LCD LED Plasma Flat Panel Screens with HDMI Cable 1TR
Works great.
Great Product (with instructions)12/16/2012
heavy duty wall mount with great mounting bracket - easy to put up and easy to use, have had a 40 inch LCD on it for months, no problems, recommended !!
Delivered on time & in tact
Very happy with it for my 46 sammy, next I will try it on a 60 sammy.
As described7/19/2012
Easy to install. Worked perfectly for 42" LG TV.
As advertised7/3/2012
Easy install. Heavier than expected. Great value for the price. Good quality.
Perfect value for the cost6/16/2012
Most everything about this wall mount is great. It did not get 5 all across the board because of the difficulty of access to the tilt mechanisms. Once it is on the wall you will not be able to adjust the tilt other than that it is great and I am satisfied.
Good solid flat panel TV mount6/14/2012
This is a good solid flat panel TV mount with up to 15 degrees of downward tilt if desired. It comes with all the mounting hardware, lag bolts, masonry anchors, spacers, and six different lengths and diameters of screws to fit most TVs. There is a built in level on the wall mount bracket. A second level was included in the package but I'm not really sure why since one is already on the mounting bracket. A six foot HDMI cable was also in the box.
with some extra parts, worth the purchase5/18/2012
had to buy screws that fit the back of my tv (35") as the screws that came with it were one size too big. Other than that it was worth it.
bracket did not fit my tv5/14/2012
nothing wrong with bracket, did not fit the existing TV i had
Perfect Flat Screen mount5/11/2012
Purchased after seeing same mount on my son's 60" Samsung. Secure mount with tilt option. Have not installed since we are renovating master bedroom and not to that point yet. Purchased since it was $40 less than my son paid for same mount.
This item is easy to use and works well
TV mount4/12/2012
Great product
Good Vendor Great Value4/11/2012
Good product and a great value
Unit went up relatively easy, at least nothing a little elbow grease couldn't fix. fits my 32 in Vizio Perfect.
Great Product2/26/2012
Nice product. Worked great. Installed easily.
Does what it should!12/27/2011
Dont spend double on other units this one works great! Good solid construction and comes with all kinds of hardware for different tvs. Hung Samsung 55" LED no problem. If there is one critiqe it's a little hard to tighten the locking screws for lower rail because of how close to the wall this unit holds the tv. Locking tilt works great!
Great Mount12/9/2011
Worked like a charm. Easy install and came with all needed nuts and bolts and lots of extras. Leveler was a great help. I have used this to mount a 55 inch 3D LED. Make sure you run the cables and do the connect before you do the final 'hang' since there is not enough space between mount and TV for connections. LED was not heavy so it wasn't a big hassle. Great product for great price.
Great Price and GreatProduct8/31/2011
I was not willing to pay $80-$150 for a piece of steel to hang my TV...then I saw this unit and the price. I recieved it in about a week, it was easy to mount and the price was perfect. Also be sure and check out the great prices on the HDMI cables. overall i'll be back for more products as needed. It's holding my 55 inch Samsung hd led/lcd
Great product at good price7/17/2011
This product was easy to install and works great with my 47 " LCD. It is very well made and nicely finished in black powder coat. The tilt function works well, so you can get the correct angle to view your screen. The 6 " bubble level bar is a good addition.

Select Local Merchants
Jack RabbitsRead MoreJackrabbits, one of Jacksonville's primary downtown live music venues, is an intimate home for local and national bands like The Hives, Slightly Stoopid, Incubus and many others. The newly renovated bar area serves beer and wine only – though the selection, while focused, features many otherwise hard-to-find craft brews. Though this venue can get quite crowded depending on the act, tickets are reasonably priced and guests can always get an up close and personal experience, thanks to the limited floor space. The nondescript entrance can be hard to spot, as it's little more than a gray door with the name Jack Rabbits scrawled across. The décor is typical dive bar, dark and grayish with sturdy seating, while most of the focus is on the stage, where lighting and sound are top-notch.1528 Hendricks AveJacksonville, FL US
Florida Ballet At JacksonvilleRead MoreFor more than three decades, The Florida Ballet's teachers?all certified by the American Ballet Theatre?have introduced students to the art of the leap, the pirouette, and the tutu. And those students have gone on to high places: Orlando Ballet, the Joffrey Ballet, and even The American Ballet Theatre. Founded by Laurie Picinich-Byrd and Michael F. Byrd., accomplished dancers who met during a rehearsal at the Metropolitan Opera House, the training and performance haven refines young dancers' technique with the American Ballet Theatre's 8-level training program. This curriculum not only focuses on the beauty of ballet, it also pays special attention to the health of dancers and the principles of child development.300 East State StreetJacksonville, FL US
UnderbellyRead MoreIf fine food and refreshing beverages are on your to-do list, check out Underbelly in Jacksonville. Enjoy the beautiful weather while you chow down — with outdoor seating, Underbelly is a great summer destination. At Underbelly, you might get dinner and a show as live music is often featured as well as a DJ. A great spot for twirling to some tunes, the restaurant also features a live DJ and dance floor. The restaurant tends to blast tunes over an already rambunctious crowd, so be ready for thunderous noise here. The restaurant can get tied up on the weekends, so allow yourself time to wait for a table. Underbelly is located near endless parking possibilities, allowing drivers to park with ease.113 East Bay StreetJacksonville, FL US
1904Read MoreFor an entree that scores high on the taste test, try one of the many options available at 1904 in Jacksonville. Patrons are often seen swaying in their seats thanks to performances from 1904's live musical groups or DJs. In the mood for dinner and dancing? Live music is common at the restaurant, and patrons are encouraged to show off their moves. The sound levels at the restaurant can reach ear-splitting levels. Driving to 1904? Check out the nearby parking selections and park with ease. Bicyclists will also find lots of space to safely lock up their bikes.19 Ocean StreetJacksonville, FL US
Florida TheatreRead MoreWhen it opened in 1927, the Florida Theatre was the largest of 15 cinemas in downtown Jacksonville. Today, it's the city's last surviving vestige of that era's iconic architecture. Designed by New Yorker R.E. Hall and Jacksonvillian Roy Benjamin, the venue is a prime example of the Mediterranean Revival style, with a ceiling covered in glittering stars and a six-story proscenium arch. And even as the entertainment industry shifted towards television, the Florida Theatre survived by hosting interactive game nights and concerts from underground artists, including Elvis Presley. The space was renovated In the early 1980s, and today it returns to its entertaining roots by hosting live events and classic film screenings.128 E Forsyth St.Jacksonville, FL US
