More or less recently I've gotten into anime more hardcore than before and I knew CR would be the ticket to proper experimentation.
So Attack on Titan is an absolutely incredible series whose art is, thus far, unrivaled on any other anime that I've seen. I believe that was a large part of what attracted me to the series after the first episode and after that, I couldn't stop ...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Very entertaining...I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It's entertaining, action packed and it really makes you feel for the characters. I found myself very upset when certain characters died, and wished others would of died in their place. I was really disappointed when the series ended and can't wait for a 2nd season to start.
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful:What the Manga Lacked, the Anime PrevailedThe manga drags quite a bit, but they did a great job speeding everything up in the anime. And that opening theme is epic. What I feel lacked a little was that the anime was made to feel very 'serious', but the characters fell a little short with me on their personality and uniqueness. You're either there to scream for your life, or you're a murdering mothaf*****. But if you've read all the ...Read more

At first you might be turned off by the concept of the plot, but things quickly pick up and get very interesting. There's an element of mystery that AoT revolves around; if you like a good mystery, the world AoT is set in is very unique and there are many unexpected twists and turns. I'd describe the mood of the show as mostly grim, ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:You've just got to watch AOTIt's got a truly engaging story which gets more complex as time goes on and if you don't read spoilers then it will keep you wondering. The manga too is amazing and I can't wait for the next chapter and it seems season 2 is coming soon so i'm really excited.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Emotionally gripping...Anger, sadness and despair were just among the few strong emotions that I couldn't help but feel while watching this. The story is powerful, and hard-hitting. The visuals are of the most striking that I have ever seen in any animated show. Kudos to the writers, illustrators and voice actors for their incredible skills and talents.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Attack on Titan: Amazing!Just hearing the intro sends shivers down my spine. It has a really good and unique story, the characters are really well developed, the music and sound track goes so well with the animation and the animation quality and style really makes it feel like the medieval era.
Hell, I bought crunchyroll to primarily watch Attack on titan and a few other shows!

The world is almost real, as you can really feel the weight of this world, and the threat of the titans, and the characters are very memorable. Just... just don't... don't grow attached to them... yeah, that was an issue before... yeah.

Google has made a couple of changes involving the +1 buttons. The first in an aesthetic change that will change the button's color scheme to red and white, while the other gives you the option to thank other Google+ users for +1'ing web pages.
Red Google +1 Button
The +1 Button color scheme is changing to white and red shortly. Currently, the buttons are mainly white before you +1 a page, and then mainly blue after you've clicked.
Google is currently previewing it to its Google+ Platform Preview Group, and it will be rolled out to everyone "shortly thereafter." They will look like this:
The new color scheme will update automatically for all installed buttons.
Say Thank You on Google+
Signed-in Google users can now thank others for hitting the +1 button. On Google's personalized search results pages, you may now see the option to "Thank" somebody who is in your Circles.
For example, a search for [how to write title tags] brings up this as my top Google result:
If you're so inclined, you can now click the blue link, which will bring up a "Say thank you on Google+" box that will include a default message of "Your +1 helped me find this. Thank you!" (you can change this to say whatever you want).
Click the green Share button and your message will be posted to your friend's stream without leaving the search results.
P.S., Thanks, Angie.

Italian oil and gas company Eni is continuing to explore for oil but is focusing on areas it knows well, CEO Claudio Descalzi said.
A group called the Niger Delta Avengers has claimed responsibility for attacks on oil infrastructure that have sent Nigeria's crude output plummeting.
Oversupply may have sent oil prices lower, but in five years there won't be enough oil to meet demand, John Hofmeister says.
European equities finished the last trading day of the month sharply lower, as a raft of disappointing earnings dragged stocks deep into the red.
European markets closed mostly higher on Tuesday as investors eyed the volatile trade in commodity markets, ahead of Yellen's speech.
Oversupply and weak demand continue to grip volatile oil markets but several analysts have found a pocket of relative safety.
Energy companies are coming down to the last dollars in their wallets, a CNBC analysis found.
European markets closed mixed Thursday, as investors tried to find their footing amid a busy day for corporate earnings.
It was a bruising day for Europe's energy sector Thursday with the full extent of the pain caused by low oil prices being laid bare.
Bob Dudley has said that low oil prices are not all bad for the energy industry, as subsidies have been cut from petrol products around the world, which has resulted in fairer pricing.
Oil industry leaders have dismissed talk of the price of crude hitting the $20 lows predicted by analysts.
European stocks followed Asian equities lower on Monday on reports that China could stop propping up its equity markets.
Italian energy group Eni said it had discovered potentially one of the world's largest natural-gas fields off the Egyptian coast.
Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, comments on the discovery of the largest known gas field in the Mediterranean.
Oil contractor's shares are Europe's biggest fallers after it slashed its guidance and axed 8,800 jobs as part of a restructuring plan.
Six oil and gas companies have banded together to ask the UN to let them help devise a plan to stop global warming.
Activists in kayaks have protested against plans by Shell to resume oil exploration in the U.S. Arctic. For analysts, the news means Shell's "problem child" is getting some attention.
European equities ended higher as new regulation from the European Commission helped the continent's steel producers post strong gains.
Norway's largest energy company is cutting costs the hard way rather than scaling back production activity, Statoil CEO Eldar Saetre tells CNBC.
Tehran officials are in Beijing this week to seek more oil sales, in a move that could pressure the U.S. to sign off on a sanction-lifting deal.

Originally posted on Celtics Life | Last updated 5/8/12
Yesterday we shared with you Adrian Wojnarowski's latest column dealing with how the Miami Heat wanted the #2 seed, because they were hoping the Bulls would take the Celtics out in the 2nd round. Apparently the Heat are scared of Rondo and the Celtics avenging last year's series defeat (Rick Bucher on NBA Today also mentioned that the Heat want no part of the Celtics). And now that Derrick Rose is out for the playoffs the Heat are wetting their South Beach beds in fear of the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Some may say it's too soon to think about the Heat. And I'll say what I said yesterday. The Celtics play for championships. Not first round wins. The Heat stand in the way of the Celtics getting that crack at #18. And apparently the Heat are well aware that the Celtics stand in the way of their second shot at a ring with the super friends. This round with the Hawks and the second round are just appetizers. The Eastern Conference Finals is when the main course is served...

A conservative talk show host, while introducing Ann Coulter at a event spoke about a meeting that was had with Bush:
"He described what he said was an off-the-record session with Bush and a gaggle of radio right-wingers, including Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
Bush told them "we'll lose" if the War on Terror becomes a fight between Christianity and Islam, Gallagher said."Remind me never to invite you to an off-the-record session," Coulter told him." (via Kathy Shaidle)
"We'll lose."
I bet that gives some of us a lot more confidence in our leadership. Remind me again why I voted for this diminutive homunculi?

"Remind me again why I voted for this diminutive homunculi?"
Because he can distill a complicated and very reasonable argument involving both politics, demographics, and cultural will into a pithy two word summary ... unalloyed by wishful thinking?

I should have written "homunculus" which is the singular. Umm, that means "we'll lose" is your assessment. I guess the Greeks should have given up before Marathon, and the Romans after the Gauls sacked Rome. Not to mention Hannibal. Battle of Lepanto? Waste of time. Crusades? A fool's errand. Poitiers? Why bother? Vienna? Not worth the trouble.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on polyethylene in primary forms in Japan face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying polyethylene in primary forms to Japan? How important is Japan compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of polyethylene in primary forms vary from one country of origin to another in Japan? On the supply side, Japan also exports polyethylene in primary forms. Which countries receive the most exports from Japan? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for polyethylene in primary forms in Japan. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for polyethylene in primary forms for those countries serving Japan via exports, or supplying from Japan via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Japan fits into the world market for imported and exported polyethylene in primary forms. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Japan in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Japan is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Japan compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of polyethylene in primary forms, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Japan. A "major" market is defined as a country where Japan represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Japan, one can thus observe how important Japan is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of polyethylene in primary forms originating from Japan, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Japan has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Japan. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of polyethylene in primary forms to and from Japan to and from all other major countries in the world. "Polyethylene in Primary Forms" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "polyethylene in primary forms" is 5711. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Auburn OLB Dee Ford
|04.18.14 at 9:30 am ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Outside linebacker
School: Auburn
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 252 pounds
Achievements: 2014 Senior Bowl MVP, 2013 first-team All-SEC
What he brings: Ford is a great athlete who plays hard, possessing great speed and burst for the outside linebacker position. Scouts consider him a speed rusher, as he relies on his speed to get to the quarterback. While he has shown some power, scouts fear he lacks the strength to go against NFL tackles, especially when it comes to setting the edge for the running game. While the 23-year-old had experience dropping into coverage at Auburn, scouts fear his speed is too average for the NFL.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: In 2013 Ford had 8.5 sacks and 26 tackles in the regular season, adding two sacks and three tackles in the BCS national championship game against Florida State. … He missed the first two games of 2013 with a left knee sprain. He missed all but three games in 2011 due to a back injury. The back injury was an issue at the NFL combine and left Ford unable to participate in any of the drills.

Mike Petraglia, Chris Price dish on Dante Scarnecchia, Brandon Spikes, protecting 'Patriot Way'
|04.17.14 at 5:52 pm ET
FOXBORO — WEEI.com's Mike Petraglia is joined by Chris Price to discuss the leadership that offensive captain Logan Mankins brings to the Patriots. Mankins defended the team against the harsh criticism of former linebacker Brandon Spikes and laughed off a prediction from Spikes that his new team, the Bills, would beat the Patriots twice in 2014. Petraglia and Price also discuss how Mankins will stabilize a veteran offensive line that lost its longtime coach, Dante Scarnecchia, to retirement.
NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Notre Dame OT Zack Martin
|04.17.14 at 5:06 pm ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Offensive tackle
School: Notre Dame
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 308 pounds
Achievements: One of 18 two-time captains in Notre Dame football history, started a team-record 52 straight games, 2013 Pinstripe Bowl MVP, 2013-14 ESPN.com All-Bowl Team, four-time Notre Dame Guardian Life Insurance Guardian of the Year, 2012 Walter Camp second-team All-American
What he brings: Some scouts and managers have argued that Martin should make a move from offensive tackle to guard because his arm length is not long enough for the NFL. While they question Martin's size and foot speed, Martin's knowledge of the game and power became a selling point especially after the Senior Bowl.
Where the Patriots could get him: Martin is expected to be a top-20 pick, so the Patriots likely would need to trade up to get him.
Notes: Martin, 23, redshirted his freshman year and finished out his fourth year of eligibility as a graduate student during the 2013 season even though he could have been drafted in Rounds 2-4 in 2013.

Takeaways from our Thursday morning talk with Logan Mankins
|04.17.14 at 1:49 pm ET
FOXBORO — In addition to his dismissal of Brandon Spikes, here are three things we gleaned from our Thursday morning chat with Logan Mankins.
1. He sounds optimistic about the upcoming transition period for the New England offensive line.
For the first time since shortly after the earth cooled, Dante Scarnecchia will not be coaching the Patriots offensive line. It'll be an interesting stretch for Mankins, who will be losing the only position coach he's known at the professional level. However, Mankins said new offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo "seems like a great guy, and I look forward to working with him."
"It's going to be a big change," Mankins said when asked about moving on from Scarnecchia. "I was lucky enough to have him for nine seasons. I wish that could have continued. But he put in his time and he earned the right to retire. Last time I talked to him, he was enjoying life right now and he's staying busy. But it will be a lot different. That's the only o-line coach I've known for quite a while now, so, it'll be a bit of a change."
What does Mankins want out of a new coach?
"Personally, I just want a coach that's fair, he's going to treat everyone the same — there's no one on a pedestal," he said. "I think I learned to appreciate that from Dante. He was a hard coach, but he was a fair coach. We always knew he had our backs. He demanded a lot of us, but I think that's what made a lot of us good players. That's why he was such a successful coach and lasted so long."
2. He's been working a lot with fellow guard Dan Connolly this offseason.
According to Mankins, for the first time in several years, both Mankins and Connolly aren't dealing with any sort of offseason rehab for surgery. As a result, the two have been working together in the area to 'get after it' for a few hours every morning. He said
"It's been a good partnership right now," Mankins said. "In years past, I had surgeries, he had surgeries, we had the whole lockout thing. We used to (train) a long time ago until certain things changed that, so this year was nice to get back together.
"We meet every morning at a certain time and get after it for a few hours then go home. It's always nice to have someone to work out with, especially at your own position, that you are working on the same things," Mankins said. "We've been pushing each other and it's been working out well."
Right now, Mankins said it's just "the big boys throwing around weights." That will transition to the start of the offseason program on Monday, where coaches can get involved. At that point, it's expected that more cardio will be worked into the mix. Mankins said center Ryan Wendell has also been present since re-signing about three weeks ago, while youngsters Jordan Devey and Chris Barker have also been present.
(For what it's worth, Mankins also sounded an optimistic note on the state of right tackle Sebastian Vollmer, who went down in October with a season ending leg injury. "He looks good right now, too. I don't know his whole update right now, but he looks good and I know he's working hard," Mankins said of Vollmer. "There's good promise there.")
3. There's something to be said for continuity.
If everyone returns healthy, the Patriots will have a chance to utilize the same five starting offensive linemen they had at the beginning of the 2013 season — Vollmer (right tackle), Connolly (right guard), Wendell (center), Mankins, (left guard) and Nate Solder (left tackle).
"It's always good," said Mankins when asked about continuity. "We know what were doing, (but) it always comes down to making the right blocks and doing a good job. We like the group we have. We like the guys in that room. They're all hard working guys and they try very hard and they work hard. I think we could have a good season together.
"I look forward to seeing everyone get back and everyone getting to work together finally," he added. "It's always exciting, kind of like your first day back at school, I guess. You get to see everyone after the break, get to catch up with some friends you haven't seen too much of lately, and get to work together, push each other, and see if other guys have been working as hard as you have."
Patriots finalize 2014 preseason schedule
|04.17.14 at 1:06 pm ET
Official dates and times have been added to the Patriots 2014 preseason schedule:
Thursday, Aug. 7, 7:30 p.m.: at Redskins
Friday, Aug. 15, 7:30 p.m.: vs. Eagles
Friday, Aug. 22, 7:30 p.m.: vs. Panthers
Thursday, Aug. 28, 7:30 p.m.: at Giants
With the understanding that teams are allowed to open training camp 15 days before the first preseason game, that could set the Patriots up for camp to begin as early as July 23.

Logan Mankins on Brandon Spikes' guarantee of wins over Patriots: 'Spikes being Spikes'
|04.17.14 at 12:52 pm ET
FOXBORO — Logan Mankins hasn't spent much of his offseason worrying about Brandon Spikes.
Spikes, who signed with the Bills as a free agent after four seasons in New England, recently predicted a pair of Buffalo wins over the Patriots this season. He also took a shot at New England's approach to the injury report, hinting that the Patriots aren't completely truthful when it comes to reporting injuries.
But on Thursday morning, Mankins wasn't interested in retaliating.
"Everyone has their own opinions and everyone likes to think they know it all," said Mankins during a break in his offseason workout program while at Gillette Stadium. "It really doesn't bother me too much. I know what we have here. I know the owner pretty well now over the years and the head coach and those guys care about the team. They care about winning football games. Whatever anyone says, it kind of rolls off our backs. We know what we have here.
"I don't pay too much attention to the media that much anyways — I've only heard guys joking around about what he said. But I think it's just Brandon being Brandon. He has a pretty good sense of humor, I think — well, I don't know if it's good. But he likes to make jokes. I don't know if he was joking here or being serious. But I think that's just Spikes being Spikes."

NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Penn State WR Allen Robinson
|04.17.14 at 9:47 am ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Wide receiver
School: Penn State
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 210 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All-American, 2013, 2012 Big Ten Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year, 2013, 2012 first-team All-Big Ten (coaches, media), 2013 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist
What he brings: Scouts say that Robinson is faster than people would expect for his size and they also stress that he is a productive player. Robinson is second in Penn State history with 177 career receptions even though he only caught three during his freshman season. Scouts note that he occasionally loses focus, causing him to drop passes.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: Robinson had a breakout year in 2012 when he broke the school record for catches with 77 and was named first team All-Big Ten. He then went on to improve on that record by finishing 97 catches for 1,432 yards as a junior in 2013. … The 20-year-old announced that he would leave for the draft the same day as Penn State coach Bill O'Brien said he was leaving for the NFL.

Run Roo Run is a Sometimes Challenging, Always Fun iOS Platformer
5th Cell's "micro-platformer" auto-runner is right at home on iOS.
By Chris Pereira Jan 19, 2012 8:22AM PSTTags: iPhone Run Roo Run (IPHONE) Run Roo Run (iPad)
Auto-runners are among the most perfect of matches for a touchscreen-only platform like iOS. They can work with only a single button press and are not reliant on virtual buttons, which are problematic in a number of ways. Having recently ported the game it's best known for, Scribblenauts, to the App Store, 5th Cell released an original auto-runner for iOS last week that is every bit as worthy of your attention.
Described as a "micro-platformer," Run Roo Run has players assume the role of a mother kangaroo traveling across Australia to save her baby. In typical auto-runner fashion, you automatically move across the stage and your only objective is to avoid hazards (logs, shovels, rocks) by jumping over them with a press of the screen. What makes this a micro-platformer is that each level is only the width of your screen; many, if not most levels can be completed in under three seconds, while some take more than twice as long, though that's still obviously very quick.
That's not to say you actually will complete each level in just a few seconds; you might fail repeatedly and spend several minutes or more trying to figure out precisely when and where to jump. When you do manage to cruise through level after level, you're automatically brought on to the next one without any loading. That keeps the pace quick and presents you with the opportunity to make it through an entire chapter in a very short period of time.
Groups of levels are divided into chapters for a reason. While the first chapter might not be especially exciting -- between the kangaroo's speed and the lack of obstacles in the way, it's awfully easy -- each subsequent chapter introduces a new ability or object you'll encounter throughout the rest of the game. These include a simple double jump, tire swings, moving clouds that can be ridden, and oil slicks.
Each one brings something new to the table, but it's as these different elements are combined and blended together that they really stand out. Platforms that disappear after standing upon them for a moment aren't significant on their own, but they are when they're stuck in the middle of a level where you're forced to quickly slide across an oil slick, leap on to a tire swing, bounce off the head of a pair of birds flying by, and double jump through a small opening. At times the game can be too easy; making your way through level after level without a failure is rewarding in its own way, but struggling with a difficult level before completing it provides a different sort of satisfaction. For those seeking a real challenge, each chapter contains six "extreme" levels where you move much more quickly and the window for making your jumps is much narrower.
Should you fail at a level, you'll be able to start over immediately with the benefit of arrows showing where you jumped during your previous run. Dying isn't particularly frustrating given just how short the levels are, and if you're really having that much difficulty with a level, the arrows can provide some assistance. (Or you can opt to use a slow-motion or automatic completion power-up, which cost real-world money.) The downside to using the arrows is your clock won't reset, making it impossible to get a gold medal without restarting, sans arrows.
One of my few gripes stems from the way the game is designed to help you with these arrows. I never found myself actually needing their help, but I did want to go for a gold on every level I played. So while dying would send me back to the start of the level so I could quickly retry, I was forced to manually hit the restart button so the clock would reset. When playing an extreme level that has you dead within a second, hitting restart countless times became a real annoyance. It would be nice if there were an option that automatically restarted the level upon death -- all you lose are your arrows, as there are no mid-level checkpoints to sacrifice like in Trials HD. Even failing that, at least give players the option to automatically restart (with the timer reset) after dying without ever hitting the jump button -- there's absolutely no benefit to the soft reset in this situation, yet it is the default (and, presently, only) option available.
My other issue is the way the leaderboards -- which can only be accessed from the main menu for some reason -- are set up. Your total time spent on each chapter is given its own leaderboard, but in order to register your time you need to complete all 21 levels. That includes the chapter's six extreme levels which can be downright brutal to complete at times. I'm really glad that high degree of challenge is present in the game, but when it becomes a barrier for me comparing my total time for the 15 standard levels against my friends' times, that's a requirement I could do without. I also wish I could see how my time on any given level stacks up against other players; without knowing that, it's hard to see exactly which levels to replay to move up the leaderboards.
Leaderboards for every level might be overkill, though, given there are already 420 in all. That's enough content to justify the price of entry on its own, and 5th Cell has pledged to deliver 10 new levels each week for free.
Sure, the music does become grating as you play (if you play for long enough in one sitting), and the standard levels can be too easy and ask too little of you at times. But the game is made so well for the platform -- you can pick it up, play a level, and go back to what you were doing 30 seconds later, or sit there for an hour -- that it's not difficult to look past those issues.

Fun stuff.Posted: Jan 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by Arrow
I've been playing this for a couple of days now, and it's pretty good. Fantastic for metro trips, and some of those later levels can get seriously devious.
I was surprisedPosted: Jan 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by TheSmokingManX
I expected the later levels to get a lot harder -- particularly the last chapter, which I was convinced would be ridiculous when I saw what the gimmick was -- but I didn't have much trouble making my way right through with all golds. Some of the extreme levels, though, are a whole different story.

the noise, they denied having their boyfriends there and are mindful of any noise they make so not to aggravate the complaining tenant. They also said the tenant complaining about noise uses
some drugs and has a pistol so he was hearing noises. Now, the tenants are in fear of the complaining tenant and will not sleep in their unit.
