I personally love it when they referenced other animes and doing stupid skits.
in short this series is a super fun and light comedy, brought to you by super duper cute chibi characters. Enjoy!
1 out of 11 people found this review helpful:This may be comical to some people, but this doesn't fit my sense of humor.I couldn't stand watching more than ten minutes of the first episode. It's stupidity is too much to be funny. It looks like it could get better, so maybe if I'm REALLY bored some time I'll watch more of it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:I LOVE IT SO MUCH.......This is so cool, just like Naruto and Naruto Ship but even funnier. The best part that I like is that Lee as the one who make it funny, Tenten's the what? punchline maker some sort of things and Neji, the cross-dresser?!?!?!?!?!? hahahahahaha!!!!!!! So funny...... (my friend said Neji's a transvestite :p)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:I like it it's very funny and enjotable.What else can I say, it's a gag anime about chibi versions of our favorite heroes. Anyone who takes it too seriously shouldn't be writing a review for it. It's funny, interesting, a somewhat unique spin on the series. Anyone with an open mind and who wants to laugh will enjoy it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:i am absolutely loving it!!its awesome.. pure comedy.. love every second of it.. i wonder will it be dubbed?
and neji is pure gold.. you can see that he's above Lees crazy ideas but somehow he gets pulled into them.. i love the fact that they keep mentioning the original series and that stuff Hopefully they'll continue to make more..

2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Great for children!!I was first very doubtful about this saying," So this is the anime that took Bleach away?...... Its awesome!" I loved the anime and spin-off. Love the animation, humor, characters, and more! Like, for example episode 15 when Orochimaru tried to stop Lee and Naruto from jumping into Manda, as he heard Lee saying he wanted to go on a date but, Orochimaru fell in. Oh, and this anime brings out sides ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Go Go Here We Go Rock Lee!Rock Lee and the gang have some hilarious misadventures all in the name of fun. It is not meant to be taken as a serious showing of Team Gai's doings. The production value is very good. Beautiful opening and endings songs. All in all it's an extremely fun anime. I was a fan of the manga and am glad they kept a bunch of the stories from there and put it in the anime. DORYOKU!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Rock Lee is now My FAVORITE!!I LOVE Naruto!! and I really Liked Rock Lee, But after watching this show, He is NOW my all time Favorite!!! I love that this show really focuses on the comedy and sarcastic humor of, "don't try this at home kids". The beginning and ending actually remind me of Pokemon, and it's "lessons learned" theme. I LOVE It!!! Soooo Funny!!Read more
Rock Lee for the WIN!!! Hopefully they continue to make more ...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Players have hit the money at the World Series of Poker main event, with each of the 693 top finishers getting at least $19,000 each.
Reza Kashani, a 31-year-old flooring company owner from Irvine, Calif., busted Friday in 694th place, sending the remaining players into a frenzy as they learned they would profit from a $10,000 entry.
Kashani moved in for the last of his roughly 150,000 in chips with a pair of kings and an inside straight draw, but was called by Joseph Cheong, last year's third place finisher. Cheong had a set of queens, which held on the turn and river.
Tournament officials awarded Kashani a free entry into next year's tournament.
Eleven-time bracelet winner and 1989 champ Phil Hellmuth exited just after the day's first break.

Velvet Goldmine
Romney, Jonathan, New Statesman (1996)
"Although what you are about to see is a work of fiction," teasingly announce the opening titles to Velvet Goldmine, "it should be played at full volume." Todd Haynes's extraordinary panorama of the glamrock years seems certain to face resistance from British audiences, who usually like to know for sure whether they're dealing with fact or fiction. Besides, its hyper-camp polysexual pitch flies violently in the face of 1990s rock-geezer culture. It won't pull the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels audience, that's for sure.
This is not the real glam story, though. Instead of a David Bowie biopic, it's a fantasy about a Bowie-esque young thing called Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who enjoys a torrid romance with American star Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor), closely modelled on Iggy Pop. Bowie-ires may well hate the film, not only for its cartoon image of the True Facts, but also because Haynes presents his hero as a confused opportunist, a cultural magpie cribbing indiscriminately from a multitude of role models, before cashing in his chips for the conformist rock dreams of the 1980s.
Velvet Goldmine should be read as a fantasy, and like the best fantasies, it's fabulously superficial at first sight, before revealing hidden depths and resonances. It uses the Bowie story much as Slade uses the images of history. This is a fan's dream of pop history, by a director who was too young to be in the thick of it at the time. Although Velvet Goldmine has been touted as a British film, because of its stars and Film on Four's production involvement, it's very much an American director's fantasy about Englishness - a rifling, at transatlantic arm's length, of motifs from pop's past and the gay history that informed it. The references run from Oscar Wilde, through music hall drag, through the parlare slang of 1960s gay subculture, to the short-lived revolution of glam's mascara-masquerade.
Velvet Goldmine is in every sense a made-up story about made-up people. Like Bowie, Slade invents himself piecemeal, but that hardly invalidates him or makes him less "authentic" - a word which has never been much use in pop history. Ever since emerging in the early 1990s as a front runner in what was briefly hailed as the "New Queer Cinema", Todd Haynes has shown a cultural analyst's eye for the paradoxes of identity and the prerogatives of fantasy. His debut feature, Poison, was inspired by Jean Genet, the high priest of transgressive self-invention and another Bowie hero. …

Senator Larry "not gay" Craig will never give up.
After receiving a "Public Letter of Admonition" from the Senate Ethics Committee in February for using leftover campaign funds to finance the quest to have his guilty plea overturned in the Minneapolis airport gay sex sting case, Craig began the formation of a fund to replace it.
The Idaho Statesman reports: "Sen. Larry Craig says the Senate Ethics Committee has cleared him to form a legal expense fund to back his year-long effort to reverse his guilty plea for misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Craig calls the new fundraising committee the Fund for Justice, according to Congressional Quarterly. Craig told CQ on Thursday that he's soliciting donations. 'I'm working at it now,' said the Idaho Republican who is retiring in January after 28 years in Congress."
Craig is required to file a public report disclosing activity, including names of contributors, to the fund in mid-October.

Henry Eutimio
Funding via Organizacion de Desarrollo Empresarial Femenino (ODEF)
Angel works selling groceries and other items such as corn, rice, beans, lard, sugar, flour, tomato paste, coffee, pepper, salt, gravel, soap, bleach, and other basic items.
He is asking for a loan to be able to buy more merchandise since he does not have much capital. He wishes to buy in bulk and have plenty of products in his store. The business is located a bit out of the way and the businesses from which he buys his products only pass by once a week, making his sales a bit more complicated, as he will often run out of merchandise and have to wait for the suppliers' carts to stop by in order to restock his store. This is why he needs the loan.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Sindar Elf by BrokenMachine86Watch
©2011-2016 BrokenMachine86
Ha, for some reason I forgot that you do people too. lol
great design. love the elvis axe (not usually a weapon associated with elves, but it does say right in the book thingol's armories are full of em)
can you take a look at my stuff and tell me what Im doing wrong, your style is what i would like to one day achieve.
why not do work from the lotr series?
I will... some other time. I'm working on The Silmarillion for an exhibition I'm going to make in a few weeks with 2 friends, called "Miradas sobre Tolkien" (Views on Tolkien).
No fooling around this is quite possibly the best warrior/soldier pic Ive ever seen on deviant art. Its a wonderful picture, so very cool and the realism is staggering. Very well done! Love it!
Awesome drawing and detail!
Sin palabras..y ese libro,dios,es mas complicado de leer,tantos nombres!!
Wow, I love all the details
amazing work!
Amazing detail! It looks so clean and great!
no hay de que^^ la verdad, que es impresionante lo detallados que son todos tus dibujos, la verdad que es de apreciar, eso porque a traves de fotografia las cosas no se ven igual,en vivo debe ser una pasada
¿Con que los pintas con carboncillo o lapiz?

Gorgeous pencils, the small curved details really make you think of the elvish culture.
Brilliant design here
Brilliant design here
I like this design very much - it gives me an impression of a Norman armour which suits elven, and especially Silvan, warriors very well. Like mentioned, Howe's and Lee's influence can be seen . The armour looks practical and sturdy - bascinet with aventail, studded leather and chainmal under it, and axe as a weapon... I remember a part of Silmarillion where a host of Sindar axemen were mentioned to chase and attack an army of Orcs.
Some artists seems to like drawing pompous and unpractical, almost a parade-like armour to elves. It's nice to see "realistic" designs like this.

looks very real
It's interesting how different artists separately come to very similar designs. This guy would fit into a game I'm doing concept art for very neatly.
Also - great rendering!
Also - great rendering!
That's true, maybe its because one can share the same influences and aesthetics taste. By the way, I love your works!
Thank you!
Thank you!
So incredibly detailed! Reminds me of a renaissance style etching.
magnifico !!
Amazing details and interesting armour concept.
Awesome! I love how smooth and detailed your pencil drawings are, really impressive stuff.
Awesome. I like the classic design of the armor, it doesnt get too much fantasy like unlike the LOTR movie elves.
That's what I like about the LOTR movies, the armor designs are functional and realistic, but also fantastic. I don't like 3 meters long swords and gigantic shoulder pads and excessive things like that, that are not functional at all.
PD: "like unlike"?
PD: "like unlike"?
Still I like your style a lot more. I remember how in the books like Silmarillion tall and good looking humans were frequently confused with elves and viceversa, like their clothing styles weren´t so radically different as they are in the movies.
And there should be a comma after "like"
And there should be a comma after "like"
You like my style a lot more? Talking about excessive hehe . The works of Alan Lee and John Howe in the are my biggest source of inspiration for my fantasy artworks. But I know what are you talking about, still in cases like Turin, he was practically raised by elves, so he would have dressed like them, but I see your point.
I love Howe and Lees old illustrations but I´m not really sold on some of the concepts they created for the movie, specially regarding elves or dwarfs armors and clothes. The movie elves have sort of an oriental feel and their stylization is too D&D oriented. They should wear some distinctive armor and weapons but still something that could be carried by humans and fit their standards; remember how in the Silmarillion humans were constantly wearing stuff made by elves -and no, never mentioned curvy blades- without looking weird as they would look in the movies. That´s why I feel that your approaching is way closer to the original books.
wow awesome drawing

Amazing time at Caves Branch! Hands down the best part was the repelling adventure. Trust your guides, they will take care of you. The food, the service and the guides were all very friendly and very experienced. If you don't mind the hike, ask for cabin #25. It's at the top and the view is amazing. I would recommend paying...

We've long known that men's razors are superior to women's so it was only a matter of time before we started dabbling in male-centric skincare products as well. Anthony's creamy cleanser was designed to give men smaller pores and clearer skin with minimal work — which is exactly why we like it too. Gentle enough to use daily, the non-foaming formula has glycolic acid to get rid of dead skin, which can lead to clogged pores, dullness, and breakouts.
Product does the job, but isnt anything spectacular. I have oily skin and when using this product, my face starts to get shiny by the end of the day. I'm personally not a fan but will keep using it until the sample is out to see if anything changes. Probably won't consider purchasing the full size product.3
I've been using this face cleanser for about a week now and really like the results. It's very light with no later, but leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed. My face gets very oily if I go for a day or so without washing it, but also tends to get dry in spots. This product works great all over and cleans oily skin without leaving it too dry.5
Not too crazy about this. I have psoriasis around my nose area--this really irritated the hell out of it. Once my girl uses this up, the bottle will be great to pack in my carry-on (with a different cleanser). I am more of a Kiehl's guy, I guess. Wow...never thought I'd find myself debating between which cleansers to use on my face.2
I used this product because it was in my box and I received a pretty ample supply. I have been using this in the morning after my regular acne face wash. This product leaves my face soft. The thing I do not like about it is that it doesn't feel like it is doing anything or making a difference at all. It does smell like pink lemonade and makes my face soft so I will continue to use it until there is none left. Unless I see major changes I will not be using it again tho.3

Robin Winters and the "Theater Of Objects" class is pleased to announce that on Thursday, May 4 at 6:00 p.m. in the Donnelley Film Theater of the Heimbold Visual Arts Center there will be a source presentation and talk by Todd Oldham entitled "Things I Love."
Todd Oldham is one of the most innovative and mediagenic designers working today. Born in Texas in 1962, Oldham designed his first dress at age 15 when he stitched some K-Mart pillowcases together. He was soon designing more sophisticated looks, and by 1988 he was ready for New York. There, he quickly distinguished himself with his colorful, cheerful, fresh designs. Oldham, has been designing clothing and other products for 20 years. He designed sexy outfits worn by celebs such as Julia Robert's and Uma Thurman. In1998, he created a wardrobe redesign for the Simpsons in which baby Maggie got a leopard print nightie. Oldham broadened his profile in the early '90s with "Todd Time," a regular feature on MTV's "House of Style". His segments were remarkable for their enthusiasm, optimism, and pioneering do-it-yourself approach. He now admits he had no idea what he was doing, which is part of the charm. Oldham encouraged viewers to dye their hair with Kool Aid and wallpaper their dorm rooms with wood-grained contact paper or Xeroxed pictures.
Originally a couture fashion designer with several stores, including one in New York, Todd's career has evolved to include all areas of design, from film and photography to furniture, interior architecture, and graphic art.
Todd appears frequently as a consultant on NBC's Today show, as well as on MTV's enormously popular Crib Crashers, for which Todd redesigned teenagers' homes in the likeness of their favorite stars' abode. Oldham has designed his own line of dorm room furnishings for Target in addition to a line of La-Z Boy furniture. He has just recently opened a freestanding store dedicated to his furniture line in SoHo, New York City.
This past fall he was the host and creator of Todd Oldham's Handmade Modern on HGTV. A television show based on his book with the same name. Handmade Modern, the book, comes complete with a tutorial on modern home design in the form of sidebars and short essays throughout—everything from that now-famous Eames chair to the case-study houses of the 1950s. The inspiration for Todd Oldham Studio's designs comes from a celebration of everyday materials and tasks combined with a reverence for sophisticated, refined objects. Further, Todd is a photographer whose work has appeared in L'Uomo Vogue, Nest and Interview magazines.
He keeps sane by living half of the week in what he calls a modern country home in eastern rural Pennsylvania and the other half in a "goofy" modern city high-rise with beautiful views. Surprisingly, there's not much of a contrast in style between the two. "I designed them the same," he says, "so there's a great ease of slipping in and out of them." In both, he went a little stripe crazy—in the country, with 12-inch stripes on the walls in orange and yellow, blue and tan, orange and brown, and in New York, azalea and pink mixed with light blue, lime green, shrimp and berry.
As any good artist he is able to convey his unique point of view with economy of thought, realizing elegant concepts and always arriving with something surprising. He is an innovator of the everyday, involved in the act of making one's own world magical. He has changed the culture and continues to participate in variations of what the future is supposed to look like.

Thomas Sayers Ellis, a Sarah Lawrence College writing faculty member was presented with the sixteenth annual John C. Zacharis First Book Award for his 2005 collection of poems, The Maverick Room (Graywolf) by the esteemed literary journal, Ploughshares. The prize is awarded for the best debut work by a contributing poet or fiction writer.
"In The Maverick Room, Thomas Sayers Ellis jostles sound and sense and comes up with a new and winning combination of both. These poems sing and whisper, shout and confide, in the same unmistakable voice. Lyric and narrative strains fuse in poem after poem, making the collection as far reaching as it is profound," said John Skoyles, this year's judge, and writing professor at Emerson College, the publisher of Ploughshares, in the journal's Winter 2006-07 issue.
Thomas Sayers Ellis's recent publications include Poetry, Tin House, Legitimate Dangers: American Poets of the New Century, Zoland Poetry, and Under the Rock Umbrella: Contemporary Poets from 1951-1977. He has received a Whiting Writer's Award and fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. He has published two chapbooks, The Good Junk in 1996, which was included in the Agni/Graywolf series Take Three, and The Genuine Negro Hero in 2001, from Kent State University, and a chaplet, Song On, in 2005 from WinteRed Press. He has also co-edited the anthology On the Verge: Emerging Poets and Artists (Faber&Faber) and edited the forthcoming Quotes Community: Notes for Black Poets (Michigan).
Ellis was born and raised in Washington D.C. From there he attended Harvard University, where he concentrated on cinema and literature, studying with Seamus Heaney and serving as a teaching assistant for Spike Lee. While living in Cambridge, he co-founded The Dark Room Collective, a network of African-American poets that included Sharon Strange, Kevin Young, Natasha Trethewey, John Keene, Tracy K. Smith, and Major Jackson. Famous for lively, standing-room-only readings, which mixed emerging writers with established poets, The Dark Room Collective was the sole reading series in the Boston area devoted to writers of color. After Cambridge, Ellis went to Brown University, where he received an M.F.A. in 1995.
Ellis joined the poetry faculty at Sarah Lawrence College in the fall of 2006 and lives in New York City., He also teaches in Lesley University's low-residency M.F.A. program. He is working towards completion of his next work, Colored Only: Identity Repair Poems.

NYFF REVIEW: Comedic "Topsy-Turvy" Delivers Top-Notch Performances
by Ray Pride
During an 1884 London heat wave, the collaboration of composer Arthur Sullivan (Allan Corduner) and librettist W. S. Gilbert (Jim Broadbent) is melting down, and worse, their latest work is flopping at Richard D'Oyly Carte's Savoy Theater box office. Tempers flare between stuffy gentleman Gilbert and libertine Sullivan. They're respected, wealthy, bored with each other. Sullivan turns down a predictable libretto by Gilbert. When Gilbert is inspired by a visit to a Japanese art exhibit to write "The Mikado," the stage is set for "Topsy-Turvy," Mike Leigh's unlikely comedy of backstage prickliness and privilege.
While the film is what Leigh labels a "chocolate-box subject," he worked in his usual diligent manner. The historical elements are grounded in research, yet the script evolved from improvisations. It's a sneaky film: through play with period film conventions, Leigh composes an essential metaphor for the art of theater, a vessel for dramatizing what actors and directors do in confecting their craft. There are a couple of token horse-and-carriage shots at the start, but the rest of the tale plays out entirely in interiors -- drawing rooms, restaurants, stages, dressing rooms, boudoirs -- all stages upon which to play. (That is their world.)
The acting is surpassingly fine, on levels both broad and intimate, as one expects in Leigh's work, but two roles are magnificent. Broadbent's Gilbert starts as a grave stuffed shirt, resentful at being dubbed "the king of topsy-turvydom" by the Times of London. His comic prickliness and sense of entitlement is epic throughout. Timothy Spall ("Secrets and Lies") is a wonderment as well, as a member of the Savoy stock company, eventual taking on the title role in "The Mikado." In his wonderful first scene, he and a fellow actor backstage share a cracked, polyglot of phrases culled on the continent like steamer trunk stickers. And he gets the most ripely solemn moment as well, and it's pitched and played Beckett-perfect. Here's how he mourns a moment shorn from his performance: "Laughter. Tears. Curtain."
There are broad bits, too. Early on, much of the conversation is filled with commonplaces about food and family; Leigh continues to pursue, even in period drag, a philosophy that boils down to showing life is it is lived, lunch as it is eaten. Egos are there to be punctured: the 157-minute running time is studded with classic, actorish perturbations -- the self-aware behaving monstrously, but nonetheless unable to admit it amid the verbal circumlocutions of the era and their trade. Gilbert does allow himself to say of "The Mikado" that "It is only low burlesque performed in a small theater on the river Thames," but wouldn't suffer it from anyone else.
Leigh's camera is restrained, but supple whenever we shift from proscenium-style masters. The actors are placed just so in frames, and often work with objects and props as much as text. A good example: the first scene shared by the sparring Gilbert and Sullivan finds them comically sucking on lump sugar.
Most impressive is an astonishing interlude that transforms the film into something more mysterious, less presentational. When Gilbert visits the monumental Japanese art exhibit, the style is transformed, alongside Broadbent's shocked, marveling, wide-eyed wonder. Leigh seems to bow toward his Asian masters, such as Ozu and Mizoguchi, in some of the presentation, but here's the oddest insight of the scene: the formal dress of the Japanese enacting their cultural rituals looks less antiquated and anachronistic to the contemporary eye than the top-hatted and bowlered men looking at them. The gravy: Broadbent's Gilbert in close-up, watching a martial arts stick fight that whooshes between his face and the camera, face twitching joyously as he experiences rare, improbable inspiration.
Note, too, the lengthy rehearsal room scene in which Gilbert is shown inventing with his lead actors the role of the modern stage director, working on delivery, wordplay, and pacing, beat for beat for beat. You can't help but read Leigh's own story-making style into that of Gilbert and Sullivan. But his is more complex, a different order of fun.

Jewish communal leaders have helped launch a new national effort to combat hate and extremism.
Vivian Wineman, the president of the Board of Deputies, Rabbi Jeremy Lawrence of Finchley United Synagogue, and Rabbi Herschel Gluck joined Muslim and Christian figures, and senior Metropolitan Police officers on Sunday to unveil the We Stand Together campaign.
A group of Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious leaders are to front a one-day "pilgrimage" across London next Thursday in a demonstration of interfaith fellowship.
Masorti Senior Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, who will be taking part in the walk, said its aim was to support "the values of freedom, democracy, equality and respect for life".
A leading United Synagogue rabbi was removed as patron of an interfaith charity because the government believed he was too extreme.
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet was in position at Faith Matters for just a fortnight before being sacked on Monday.
An interfaith conflict-resolution group has reversed its decision to make a leading rabbi a patron due to past comments he has made on Israel and the Palestinians.
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet had been appointed by Faith Matters only a fortnight ago.
Baroness Warsi has claimed that she was ostracised by the Jewish community after she resigned from her government post over the UK's policy on the Gaza conflict.
She said Jews who were once friends no longer spoke to her.
But Laura Marks, the senior vice president of the Board of Deputies, who was pictured embracing Baroness Warsi at interfaith events, denied the claim.
A scarf-clad observant Jewish woman has teamed up with a hijab-wearing counterpart to tackle strained Muslim-Jewish relations since boycott protests hit the streets of Manchester.
Aimee Banay, a 35-year-old mother-of-two, said the Gaza conflict, which sparked protests in Manchester outside a Jewish shop, has fed Muslims and Jews with "conspiracy theories" about each other.
A north London synagogue has won an award from an Islamic organisation for its support of a Muslim group whose community centre was destroyed in an arson attack.
Mitzvah Day projects will help rebuild UK Jewish-Muslim relations in the aftermath of the Gaza conflict, its founder and chair Laura Marks believes.
Jews, Muslims and Christians joined together to condemn antisemitism at a rally attended by an estimated 2,500 people.
On a day of unity, even the political divide was bridged, with a message from Chancellor George Osborne read out by Labour MP Ivan Lewis.
The Council of Christians and Jews has provided Leo Baeck College rabbinic students with the opportunity of being paired during their training period with a Christian studying for the clergy.
Twenty students from both faiths attended a Lambeth Palace reception, where they were welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who warmly endorsed the scheme.

Jayawardene ruled out of Bangladesh tests
COLOMBO, (Reuters) – Former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene has been ruled out of next month's two-test home series against Bangladesh after dislocating the middle finger of his left hand in a domestic match on Sunday.
Jayawardene picked up the injury while fielding in the slips during the Singhalese Sports Club's Premier league match against Nondescript's Cricket Club.
"Initial scans showed that it was only a dislocation but the scans were sent to Australia for further opinion," Sri Lanka team manager Michael de Zoysa said.
"The opinion from Australia is that Mahela will have to undergo surgery and have a wire inserted to keep the dislocated bone in place.
"He will be out for between four-to-six weeks which means he is certainly ruled out of the Bangladesh test series."
Thilan Samaraweera would replace Jayawardene for the two tests against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.

Pilates is a body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back. It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing and developing a strong core or centre while improving coordination and balance. Pilates' system allows for different exercises to be modified in a range of difficulty from basic to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.
The Pilates Reformer is the most well known piece of Pilates equipment. It is a bed like frame with a moveable carriage where a person sits or reclines and does his or her stretching. It is an excellent way of exercising without hurting the joints while strengthening muscles.
Staying true to the classic techniques of isolating, fatiguing and stretching, Niko Physique pushes dynamic pilates further. It's intense, fun, always cheeky and encourages class members to push the trainer harder reversing the usual class regime.

About the Lynch School
a community of scholars
I am delighted to be leading the Lynch School of Education at a time when the school is so strong and vibrant! On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, I invite you to join our community of scholar-practitioners.
As a community, we strive to advance the mission and strategic goals of the Lynch School by preparing students to be leaders in their professions, by conducting and disseminating research with social impact, by engaging in collaborations with school and community partners that link inquiry and action and promote social justice, and by shaping social and educational policy and expanding our international influence. The Lynch School continues to move in new and innovative directions that transform theory and practice in education and applied psychology.
Every day members of the Lynch School community benefit from our proximity to the city of Boston, a leading hub for K-12 and higher education, health care, and educational and social research. Lynch School students are exposed to a wide range of educational opportunities and immerse themselves in a variety of academic experiences without traveling far from the Boston College campus. Our students are taught to keep social justice at the heart of their practice and learn to follow their natural inclination to answer curiosity.
Our research and community outreach affects families throughout the region and the nation. Programs such as City Connects, College Bound, and the Urban Catholic Teachers Corps, to name a few, are connecting people with the resources they need to live healthy and satisfying lives. Faculty research funded by the National Science Foundation, the Institute for Education Sciences, and the William T. Grant Foundation strives to create ground-breaking solutions that address today's great challenges in psychology and education and better the lives of students, parents, and families locally, nationally, and globally.
Through rigorous courses, discussion in and out of the classroom, and participation in community outreach activities, Lynch School students seek to understand social problems such as poverty, violence, and social inequity and the role that cultural and social change plays in transforming social structures.
Our alumni are central to the work that we conduct not only by leading the way for future graduates, but by supporting current students through philanthropic giving, professional development opportunities, and personal mentoring that inspires the path that our students will take. When considering the Lynch School I encourage you to engage with our many illustrious graduates who demonstrate a commitment to social justice in their professional lives as teachers, counselors, psychologists, school and university administrators, and educational evaluators, policy makers, and researchers.
It is a complex time and the challenges we face are immense. If you strive to enhance the human condition, to expand the human imagination, and to make the world more just through a life of work in the field of education, applied psychology, or research, I invite you to join us.
With warm regards,

Here's our first impressions of the Sony Xperia Z, including what we love about it so far and what we don't.
Here's our first impressions of the Sony Xperia Z, including what we love about it so far and what we don't.
HTC and Nokia are preparing to go head-to-head with new cameras on upcoming smartphones, as they hope to steal market share from Apple and Samsung Electronics.
The water and dust resistant Sony Xperia Z is the company's new flagship Android phone for 2013. How will it stack up against Apple's iPhone 5?

Whether they were big or small, LED or plasma, all the HDTVs on the CES 2011 show floor had one thing in common--they took the best that came out of last year, and added several slight, but significant, improvements.
Sony took the CES by storm by unveiling a bunch of new products and updating a few fan favorites. here's a look at some of the products that'll be in stores this year, from TVs, to laptops to camcorders big and small.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Senior Gabby Glenning ('16) and alumna Lauren Alessi ('12) first crossed paths five years ago; since then, their paths have not diverged.
Three full-time faculty members are retiring from Cabrini this May: -Assistant Professor of Education Maryann Lanchoney, EdD -Chair and Professor of Philosophy Sharon Schwarze, PhD -Associate Professor of Exercise Science and Health Promotion Tony Verde, PhD
"Sharon, Tony, and Maryann have all contributed greatly through their teaching and service to Cabrini students," said Jeff Gingerich, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. "Our College would not be the same place without their dedication to the Cabrini mission."
Jana (Fagotti) Arentsen ('05) and Kelsey (Kuhwald) Pickering ('06) weren't friends while attending Cabrini (though they found one photo that proves they still knew how to have fun together), but their shared Cabrini history helped jump-start a friendship eight years after graduating, and they finally caught up in person two years after that.
In April, two Cabrini faculty members were honored with the 2016 Adjunct Faculty Teaching Excellence Award: Aimee Davis and AnnaMay Abbott, PhD ('00, MS'04).
Jeffrey Brown, Founder, President, and CEO of Brown's Super Stores, Inc., discusses the intersection of leadership and service to the community using his own experience with combating food deserts. Brown visited Cabrini on April 5, 2016, as part of the Nerney Leadership Institute's Executive-in-Residence program.
For her work mentoring troubled populations for re-entry into society, Carla Clanagan, Founder and Executive Director of In His Eyes Outreach, received the Ivy Young Willis & Martha Willis Dale Award in a March 30 ceremony and lecture in the Mansion.
Coach Janit Gorka brings women's rowing—Cabrini's 18th intercollegiate sport—to Cabrini.
Cabrini's digital literary magazine, Woodcrest Magazine, garnered a Silver Crown Award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Cabrini is one of only three institutions recognized nationally for a college digital magazine.
Media critic, filmmaker, and author Jean Kilbourne, EdD, visited campus to discuss the negative impacts of how women and young girls are represented in advertising.
Business major Justin Juliano '15 has had a passion for his field of study from a young age.
From the time he obtained his first summer job at 12 years old selling newspapers outside of a bakery every Sunday, he has remained busy and business-minded in all aspects of his life.
During one trip to the beach in 2011—at age 17—it dawned on him that he wanted to start his own business. The rest is history.
Cabrini honors Black History Month through interactive events and presentations, but the conversation about race in society shouldn't stop on February 29.
Many alumni know Nancy Gorevin Costello '71—at least by name, if not personally. Costello has been a staple of the Cabrini community through her time as a student, as a Director in Institutional Advancement, and now as a Cabrini Trustee and Communication Director with the Stella Maris Province of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSCs).
Recently, Costello reflected on her time as a student, and how everything came full circle for her at Cabrini.
Tom Southard, J.D., Director of the Wolfington Center, shares how the work being conducted by the Cabrini community feeds into a new, global model called integral human development.
Presentations, discussions, and a little friendly competition took place on Cabrini Day, Nov. 10, 2015.
The annual event celebrates Cabrini's heritage and is used as a platform to raise awareness around a timely social issue: This year, the social issue was mass incarceration.
Recently, the College nominated professors Eric Malm, Ph.D., and Amy Persichetti, Ed.D., for national awards highlighting their commitment to civic engagement and social justice programs.
The two faculty members held pivotal roles in shaping the Justice Matters curriculum—specifically the Engagements with the Common Good courses—and have helped define the role of community partnerships at Cabrini.
As Jackie Neary enters her 20th season with Cabrini's field hockey and women's lacrosse programs, she has much to celebrate.
Using her own experience in pageantry as an example, Michelle Filling-Brown, Ph.D., reflects on how beauty culture in our society has remained relatively unchanged over the past few decades.
"In order to understand the big picture, you need to understand the pixels," said 2015 Woodrow Wilson Fellow Robert "Gus" Gusentine, retired U.S. Navy Captain and Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Global Sounding Inc., a private enterprise designed to assess and monitor data surrounding the world's fresh water supply.
In his October 6 presentation, "Water: Understanding the Challenge," Gusentine elaborated on the challenges water scarcity poses. "The future of humanity depends on safeguarding and sharing potable water around the world," said Gusentine, citing Pope Francis.
Father Carl Janicki, Cabrini's Director of Campus Ministry, and students Lisette Hrappman '18 and Katie Briante '18 reflect on their experiences during the World Meeting of Families 2015 and visit from Pope Francis.
After the event, they are eager to put the Pope's message into practice, building upon the College's commitment to social justice to make a difference in local and global communities.
After decades as an educator and educational administrator, Joyce Mundy, Ed.D. '90 is focusing on bullying prevention, which she hopes will help teachers, students, administrators, and families of school-age children.
Nicholas Rademacher, Ph.D., associate professor of religious studies, examines the teachings of Pope Francis through soccer, the environment, and living in a culture of encounter.
Two faculty members near and dear to Cabrini alumni and students retired at the end of the spring semester: Harvey Lape, instructor of philosophy, and Thomas Stretton Jr., Ed.D., associate professor of education and director of the Cabrini Theatre.
With just a few weeks until student-athletes return to campus to prepare for their fall 2015 seasons, we caught up with senior Kerry Anne Farrell.
One of the most decorated players in the history of the field hockey program, Farrell is poised to break the Cavaliers' career points, goals, and assists marks.
After years of corporate work, Ken Cage '98 longed for a company of his own.
With longtime friend Bob Weeks, Ken considered beer distributorships, golf courses, and mortgage companies—until a company that repossessed planes, boats, and luxury automobiles caught their attention.
Dangling 61 dizzying stories above Philadelphia's streets, a workman carefully daubs caulk on One Liberty Place's sky-high glass gables.
Vicki Lee '92, owner of Old Philadelphia Associates, keeps a careful eye on the work, rigging, and necessary safety procedures.
Sandy Shihadeh '89 earned an education degree at Cabrini and worked in preschool childcare before starting an organization connecting seniors and children that would benefit the entire community.
Krista Milito '93 won the "Small Business, Big Ideas" contest for her dog-training business, The Philly Pack.
Now, she and her business partner are working to open a center to help dogs with behavior problems.
The Purple Feet Foundation is a Harrisburg-based nonprofit with a mission to inspire at-risk adolescents to explore the limitless possibilities that exist for their future.
Cabrini's English students have been part of the foundation's flagship "Thinc" Program, a weeklong residential event that brings children to numerous college campuses to be exposed to a rich variety of learning opportunities and careers.
"We let the Purple Feet Foundation kids experience a day in the life of a Cabrini College student," said Michelle Filling-Brown, Ph.D., chair and associate professor of English.
Dave Perillo '00 drew cartoons everywhere … especially in margins of his schoolbooks when he was supposed to be listening—a concern for his teachers.
But doodling and pursuing his passion for illustration led to some big breaks and significant clients.
On April 25, the Cabrini College Student Theatre completed an eight-performance run of "Lucky Stiff," a murder mystery musical comedy.
Cabrini students from the Body Image Coalition hosted a fashion show to celebrate the beauty of all shapes and sizes.
Joe Dare took over Cabrini's cross country programs in 2014 when former Head Coach Tom O'Hora stepped down after 31 years at the helm.
In just his first season as a head coach, Dare put his stamp on the program. He changed the structure of daily practices and weekly workouts.
"Our training was different than what was done in the past," Dare says. "We probably doubled the amount of miles the team ran each week."
First, a multicultural Mass with a blues band crooning hymns, followed by café au lait and beignets at Café Du Monde and a visit to a voodoo museum, and that was just the first day in New Orleans. The next day, they got to work.
Like many parents of young children, every night Danelle Kressirer Matlack '05 tucks her son into bed and tells an inventive story to wind down the day.
Last year, Matlack used their favorite scaly character as the subject of a children's book to raise awareness of an important children's health issue.
Putting the biscuit in the basket. That's roller hockey lingo for scoring a goal.
And since 2002, The Cabrini College Roller Hockey Team has been putting biscuits in baskets, clashing sticks with seven local universities as members of the Philadelphia College Roller Hockey League (PCRHL).
"I like to get my hands on some spit and bone," said Kimberly Boyd, Ph.D., associate professor of biology, grinning while she worked at Pi Dental Center during a 2013 sabbatical.
For Boyd, collecting and analyzing this spit and bone "is a human health issue" that could one day help improve outcomes for dental implant patients who smoke or have a history of smoking.
Middle school. It's not for the faint of heart.
But where many fear to tread, Bob Salladino, Ed.D., '93, G'97, principal of Owen J. Roberts Middle School in Pottstown, Pa., is excited about where he has spent his career.
When Sharvon Urbannavage graduated from Cabrini in 2003, she was told she had a world of endless possibilities in front of her.
But after quickly learning that the corporate world may not be for her, she stumbled upon the world of spoken word poetry and jumped in headfirst.

Can I negotiate with my college financial aid department for more free money?
Q. I'm beginning USC this fall as a freshman and received only a small grant from the university. I've heard that you can negotiate with the schools for more free money. How do we go about that?
A.This is an erroneous myth that continues to be spread by misinformed speakers on financial aid. Beware of any encouragement to negotiate with a college financial aid department. This myth creates false hope for many families. They are told that whatever the award, it's probably negotiable.
First of all, the procedure of requesting an increase in your financial aid package is called an appeal, not a negotiation. Most schools have procedures for the appeal process. A valid appeal is based on what financial aid officers refer to as special circumstances.
So what is a special circumstance? Here are a few: job loss of a parent, excessive medical costs, care for an elderly grandparent, and termination of child support. A special circumstance does not include lack of proper planning in order to meet your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form doesn't have a place for your "story." It's a form that asks for information about the family's income and assets as well as non-financial data like birthdates, social security numbers, size of family, number in college, etc. The appeal process allows you to tell your story, sometimes resulting in an adjustment of what might be an artificially high EFC.
There is also a situation commonly referred to as a competitive appeal. In the event that a student has a special talent or exceptional achievement - academic or otherwise, some schools may indeed adjust their initial awards when they become aware that another competitive school has offered a more generous award. This is analogous to a typical "supply and demand" scenario where the student, because of stellar performance, has earned a high demand for talent or achievement.
Tom Bottorf is the co-founder of Dana Point-based GetCollegeFunding.com, which helps parents of college-bound students understand the concepts of college funding and provides counseling services.

Problem 4: Comp-Max Computers assembles computers and computer equipment. It is about to start production of three new types of computers, called model A, B, and C, respectively. Each type will require assembly time, inspection time, and storage space. The availability of each of these resources is limited. Specifically, available assembly time is 200 hours, available inspection time is 44 hours, and available storage space is 78 cubic feet (about 2.2 m3). The amount of each resource required for the different products is reported in the table below. Model A earns a profit of $80 per unit, model B earns a profit of $60 per unit, and model C earns a profit of $45 per unit. Due to some prior agreements with customers, Comp-Max must produce at least 5 model A computers. In addition, management requires that the fraction of total production made up of model C computers must not exceed 25%.
Formulate a linear program (LP) that will help the manager determine the quantity of each model to produce in order to maximize profit.

Additional Information
About FAPEFAPE, the Foundation for the Assistance of Small Businesses, is a nonprofit, socially-minded institution that provides loans to micro-entrepreneurs across Guatemala.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Saturday's Game: Twins 6, Brewers 2
Record: 26-17, Tied for First Place
My sister is getting married today so your weekend wrap-up In the News is going to be a bit earlier than usual.
Saturday's Game
- The Twins are probably my second favorite team in baseball. I root for them all the time when they're not playing the Brewers. But they're making it hard for me to cheer for them the way they keep bludgeoning the Crew… Do the Brewers EVER win in Minnesota?
- And does any team in baseball get more bloop hits than the Twins? I'm not saying that's why the Brewers lost either of these first two games (since they gave up more than enough runs on legitimate hits), but I can't stand how many bloops the Twins get…
- Anthony Swarzak made his MLB debut against the Brewers Saturday and pitched seven shutout innings. Unfreakingbelievable…
- The Brewers scored a couple runs after that, but were not able to mount a comeback.
- Braden Looper gave up five runs in six innings.
Brewers News
- The Twins crushed the Brewers 11-3 on Friday. Manny Parra struggled…
- J.J. Hardy is battling a sore back and Corey Hart has a sore hand. These injuries could stop piling up any time now…
- The Brewers have walked the second most times in MLB and Prince Fielder is on pace to shatter the Brewers record for walks in a season.
- Forbes says the Brewers are the second best in baseball in a "crude revenue-per fan ranking."
- Keith Olbermann doesn't like the way the Brewers have been using Mat Gamel.
- Jordan M at Brew Crew Ball analyzes Manny Parra and fatigue.
- Nate Roth at Two Fisted Slopper takes a look at who Trevor Hoffman has been facing so far in his outstanding start to the season.
- Did Corey Hart mock Miguel Tejada?
- The Happy Youngster won't go away. This guy is clueless… If he'd just shut up, the whole shitstorm he created would go away, but he just can't help himself. He needs that spotlight, even if it highlights him making a fool out of himself.
- Lange at Sheffield's House wonders what the Brewers would look like as a football team.
- Will Chris Duffy accept his demotion to Nashville? We'll know by Tuesday.
- Inside Edition discovers that baseball fans like to drink at the game. In related news, this report is a complete waste of time.
Jake Peavy Discussion
- Yep, there's enough of this out there that it got it's own header… Of course Peavy would be a nice addition for the Brewers, but the big contract, injury concerns and cost in prospects still remain very big hurdles to getting anything done. I'd say it remains a long shot at best, but it's beginning to seem a bit more likely than it was this offseason.
- Jon Heyman at SI says the Brewers and the Cubs are the most likely places Peavy will end up.
- Big Rygg at The Brewer Nation says Peavy has added the Brewers to the list of teams he'd accept a trade to. Since this is the only place I've seen this reported, I'm a bit skeptical, but if it's true, that's certainly good news for those hoping to land Peavy.
- Tom Haudricourt says a Peavy deal to the Brewers is not impossible. He points out that Suppan's salary coming off the books after next season will help some in fitting Peavy's salary into the payroll and also points out the Trevor Hoffman connection. Braun and Peavy have apparently exchanged e-mails as well.
- Chris Bahr of Sporting News lists the Brewers as one of five "fits for the Pads pitcher." He says the Brewers could use the money slated for CC Sabathia to fit Peavy into their payroll and that Trevor Hoffman could make a nice pitch to Peavy to accept a deal to the team.
- Andy Baggot of the Wisconsin State Journal says, "…one of the best pitchers in baseball remains on the market with Milwaukee as a potential landing spot."
- Jorge Says No! says the Brewers are the perfect fit for Peavy and lists the reasons why.
- Craig Calcaterra says, "..If I were Milwaukee, I'd move quickly, because the faster they move, the more likely it is that the pressure will increase on Peavy to finally approve one of these trades lest he look like a prima donna. If they wait too long, that pressure will dissipate."
- Jesse Motiff of Bleacher Report says "no thanks" to a Peavy trade.
Minor Leagues
- BrewerFan.net has a new Power 50 up.
- T-Rat Brett Lawrie broke his nose on a bad hop grounder. He's not expected to miss significant time.
- Taylor Green's stay in Appleton was short.
- Al's Ramblings points out that Angel Salome is stepping his game up.
- Huntsville Stars GM Buck Rogers tries to make the game fun for fans.
- Brevard County Manatees commercial:
NL Central
- The Cubs have lost six in a row. The 120-win season is quickly fading out of the picture…
- The Cubs were somehow surprised Rich Harden got hurt and landed on the DL.
- Carlos Zambrano returned from the DL.
- Alfonso Soriano offered to play second base for the Cubs. Ha… Please do this Lou. Soriano is a butcher in left field, was even worse at second when he played there and hasn't played the position in years. I see no reason why this wouldn't work splendidly…
- Cubs prospect Jake Fox is killing the ball in AAA, but the Cubs don't have anywhere for the first baseman to play.
- Rick Ankiel will be joining the Cardinals again soon.
- Tom Gorzelanny is a Pirate once again.
Other News
- Former Brewer Corey Koskie was honored by the Twins.
- Yu Darvish is going to have a lot of MLB suitors this offseason.
