Hank Willis Thomas talks about Question Bridge
How do you know when you are a man? Why is it so difficult for black men in this culture to be themselves? Why wouldn't you be happy with your son being gay? Do you really feel free?
These are some of the questions that black men have asked other black men through a video-mediated art project called "Question Bridge: Black Males," by Hank Willis Thomas and Chris Johnson. »Read Full Blog Post
'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

DescriptionZen Bound 2 is the sequel to Zen Bound. As with the first game, your goal is to wrap rope around different shaped blocks of wood. When the rope touches the wood, paint spreads onto it, and the goal is to paint the entire block of wood using this technique. Once you reach the minimum percentage of painted wood, you can finish the level by tying up the glowing nail. Two new painting elements have been added to Zen Bound 2; Nail Bombs, which are nails in the wood which explode paint when touched, and Rope Bombs, which are blobs of paint which paint the wood when touched. These new elements add different approaches to how you wrap the rope around the differently-shaped objects.

BayHawks game postponed because of poor court conditions
The defending D-League champions didn't stop the Erie BayHawks Thursday night.
The floor did.
Head referee Matt Myers postponed Thursday's game against the Iowa Energy at Tullio Arena late in the first quarter because the floor was deemed unsafe.
"The condition of the court was deemed unplayable by both teams," Myers said. "We've postponed the game until further notice and will contact the league office and see what they want to do with it."
The game was called at 8:57 p.m. after a delay of about 90 minutes.
"We've had some ongoing issues with the floor," Erie team president Matt Bresee said. "We have to get better at it between the (Erie County Convention Center Authority) in finding solutions to making it right."
The BayHawks (19-17) are scheduled to play Reno (18-19) today at 7 p.m.
"We've got to play it here," Erie coach Jay Larranaga said. "I've got to believe we'll be able to have a safe court. I don't think that's too much to ask."
The BayHawks are looking to reschedule Thursday's game. Bresee said it could be continued when it was called, which was 3 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Erie led 14-13.
The floor, which has ice under it for when the Erie Otters play, was sticky in spots and slippery in others.
At least four players slipped while the game was in play Thursday night.
"We're extremely disappointed for the fans, first and foremost," Bresee said. "You never want to turn people away who come out and see a game."
"You could tell before the game started, the court was just real slick," Erie shooting guard D.J. Kennedy said. "Slippery. And it was sticky, too. It just wasn't safe. I was worried about injuries. That's the easiest way to get injured."
Iowa point guard Curtis Stinson, the 2011 D-League most valuable player, nearly fell on the game's first possession.
"When I came off the screen, I started to flare and I almost tore my leg off," Stinson said. "I didn't think anything of it because that happens, but as we kept playing, Mike (Efevberha) slipped twice, Donald (Sloan) slipped once."
After seeing his starting point guard -- Sloan -- slip, Larranaga started talking to the referees from the bench about the court conditions.
"That was pretty much it," Sloan said.
The maintenance crew began cleaning the floor at 7:30 p.m.
Forty minutes later, both teams were brought out for warm-ups but were sent back to their respective locker rooms to give the maintenance crew one more try to clean it.
"It was still pretty much the same," Sloan said.
At least 10 crew members tried to the clean the court, but the coaches and officials both concluded it was unsafe.
"We've got to get the Authority to have some solutions that we know are a sure way that the floor is going to be ready to go night in and night out," Bresee said.

A Winterville woman convicted two years ago of murdering her lover and encasing his body in concrete must be given a new trial, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
The court ruled Tracy Lea Fortson, 37, was denied effective counsel when her lawyer used a peremptory strike on a juror who had already been excused for cause by a Madison County Superior Court judge, the court ruled in a 5-2 decision.
Superior Court Judge Lindsay Tise Jr., the trial judge, had sentenced Fortson to life plus 20 years in July 2001 after a Madison County jury convicted her of malice murder in the death of welder Doug Benton, 38.
Prosecutors said Fortson, a former deputy with the Oglethorpe County Sheriff's Department, stabbed and shot Benton in his Colbert home after he broke off their relationship. Fortson wrapped his body in a shower curtain and covered it with concrete in a steel watering trough she had bought for the purpose, prosecutors said.
The 1,100-pound concrete coffin was later found in a wooded hunting area sometimes used by Fortson in Oglethorpe County. Fortson was arrested at her home two days later.
Fortson's conviction was marred by an error at the very beginning of the trial, during jury selection, the high court ruled Monday.
An interchange between Tise and Fortson's lawyer, Tom Camp, led to confusion, which in turn led to the lawyer's inadvertently wasting one of the defense's constitutionally mandated jury strikes, according to the court decision.
Tise had at first refused to remove the juror from the pool, even though she told the court she had spoken about the case to the officer who had arrested Fortson, and that her husband, brother and son all worked in law enforcement.
Tise changed his mind later and said he would excuse the juror, but the woman's name was not removed from the list of potential jurors before the lawyers began the process of striking a jury.
''The way the law interprets such a problem is that it's the lawyer's fault, but I'm not really sure that's quite fair,'' said Ed Tolley, hired by Fortson's family to appeal Fortson's conviction.
But the law is ''fairly straightforward'' on ineligible jurors, and has been for many years, Tolley said.
''An ineligible juror is never harmless error,'' he said. ''The Supreme Court's mission is to make sure trials are conducted according to the rules.''
Tolley also argued that Fortson should have been granted a change in venue because pre-trial publicity had prejudiced the Madison County jury pool. The high court left that issue for the trial judge to decide when Fortson's case is retried, however.
Both prosecution and defense have 10 days to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision, but neither side indicated it would.
Northern Circuit District Attorney Bob Lavender said the next step would likely be scheduling a new trial.
''What normally transpires is, it will have to be retried. It's too early to say when and where,'' he said, adding that it's not likely to be held before January.
Lavender said it would be inappropriate to comment further, since the case is now considered a pending case.
Camp said he would not comment before the 10-day period runs out for the lawyers to ask for a reconsideration.

Absolutely dead... I really hope Nintendo starts dropping good first-party games every month, starting with DKTF, cause if not, the wii u is going to spend another year selling poorly.
Third Party games sell horribly on the wii u so this is no surprise. Every single one of them has plummeted off of the charts around the world, with the exception of Just Dance 3, which was the 75th best selling game 2 weeks ago.
If you disagree with the views expressed in this post, feel free to put me on ignore.
Whatever at this point.

They can release nsmb every month and nintendo fanboys will still call each one of those unique and innovative. Can you just imagine how hype they'll be every month.lol

So are you talking to nintendo, or third party? Yeah third party is dead, thats why ps xb going indie. Sony and ms copy everything nintendo does,.the only difference is nintendo succeeds everytime, making sony and ms wait around for nintendo to come up with another good idea to rip off again and fail at.

Do we even know what's coming next year? I mean, you can't even look to the PS4 to see what games are coming, 90% of the list slated for 2014 are indie games already out on the PC.
I couldn't even tell you anything coming on PC apart from Witcher 3.

How many third party games on Nintendo systems sold like crazy or were worth a damn anyway?
Sure there might be a few stand out titles but third party games always sell better on the other platforms. People who buy Nintendo systems are likely more interested in first party games.
Why the hell do you think people buy playstations? Duh for the third party exclusives!
It is artists, not technicians, who make excellent games. "Hiroshi yamauchi"

How many third party games on Nintendo systems sold like crazy or were worth a damn anyway?
The third-party problem with Nintendo is really a vicious cycle.
- Third-party developer makes third-party game for Nintendo console.
- Third-party game sells poorly because it has to compete with Nintendo's first-parties and is the weakest of the multiplat versions.
- Third-party developer realizes their games aren't reaching expectations on Nintendo console; they still profit, but not as much as desired. So they scale back development costs by removing various features and DLC for their next game on Nintendo consoles.
- Third-party game is released, and sells even more poorly than the last because gamers don't like playing gimped versions of games that are fully-developed for other consoles.
- Third-party developer scales back even more, starts dropping various titles from their Nintendo release cycle.
- Nintendo realizes they're not getting much help from third-party, and doesn't reach out much to third-parties while making their new console.
- Third-party developers get angry at Nintendo for not considering them in their console development process, and scale back more because they feel the new console's hardware is too tough to develop for.
- Nintendo's new console sells poorly thanks to lack of games.
- Third-parties see the low install base and and drop their plans for Nintendo altogether because working them is just not profitable at this point.
The only way to fix this is for Nintendo's first-party games to be extreme system sellers. Once the Wii U has a great install base, third-parties may come back; they won't let the Wii U's hardware get in the way of making money. Other than that Nintendo will probably just have to subsidize the creation of third-party games like with Bayonetta 2.
Falling short of those two scenarios, yeah, the Wii U's third-party scene will be a barren wasteland.

3rd party games are at best garbage these days.3rd party games were important and good pre ps3 but they started to get crap this gen. we can be happy we have nintendo software every few months.other systems obviously don't even have these......
see ea ( one of the most pathetic companys in videogame history ) new need for speed is skipping wiiu.....i say : thanks to god.what do we honestly want with this crap ? we get mario kart 8 , yeah probably not sooo ''cool'' but in gameplay and fun a 1000000x better.this is just one example of many.
most people don't need this much games anyway because they have school , work or whatever.so a system with few but very good games is a convenience.
Boujng !

Instructional Grouping for Reading for Students with LD: Implications for Practice
Teachers' grouping practices during reading instruction can serve as a critical component in facilitating effective implementation of reading instruction and inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classes. In this article, we provide an overview of the recent research on grouping practices (whole class, small group, pairs, one-on-one) during reading instruction for students with disabilities.

This month our mentor teacher is Jane Quenneville, an assistive technology specialist for the Virginia Beach City Public Schools in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Jane, was most recently chosen as teacher of the year for the Special Education Annex, an itinerant group of professionals who serve students with disabilities. Jane began her career as an occupational therapist.
Jayne Davis, Ed.D. - Mentor Teacher
It all started with one student who wanted to know how his accommodation of extra time was going to help if he did not know how to study for the test. This simple question led to great things at Louisburg College where, like other colleges/universities, legally mandated accommodations have been common provisions for students with learning disabilities (LD).

Language-Based Learning Disability: What to Know
Language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) encompass a spectrum of cognitive and behavioral differences in processing, comprehending, and using language. Students with LBLD commonly experience difficulties with listening, speaking, reading, writing, spelling, math, organization, attention, memory, social skills, perseverance, and self-regulation. However, a teaching style that is specialized and structured enables students with LBLD to succeed. Learn the essential facts about how to foster the strengths of students with LBLD in this article.
Large-Scale Study Finds Poor Math, Science Instruction
Laura Shibles - Mentor Teacher
A quality program is so dependent on the excellence of the teaching staff that really is the key. It is important to hire really good teachers. Fairfax County hires high need teachers, such as special education teachers, under early contracts to make certain they get excellent teachers. Fairfax County also has a good track record in that our students are doing well compared to national standards as well. This helps attract great teachers.
Lauren Ebel is a Special Education Teacher with the Fairfax County Public School in Fairfax, Virginia. She has taught in both public and private settings. She designed, wrote, and implemented "The Developmental Classroom", a speech and language-based primary program. She has worked with children who have learning disabilities and/or emotional problems, stating that many children with LD often experience emotional and behavioral outbursts. Two important classroom strategies she stresses are: (1) Laying ground rules for students and (2) Reinforcement of good behaviors. Her teaching involves much more as you will see as you learn about Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and Monsters.

Background Since May 2004, 10 central and east European (CEE) countries have joined the European Union. While HIV rates remain low among men who have sex with men (MSM) in CEE countries, there is no research on the sexual behaviour of CEE MSM in the UK.
Methods CEE MSM living in the UK (n=691) were recruited for an online questionnaire by two popular MSM websites.
Results The majority of men had arrived in the UK since May 2004. A previous sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis was reported by 30.7%, and 4.8% reported being HIV positive, the majority diagnosed in the UK. Unprotected anal intercourse with a casual partner of unknown or discordant HIV status was reported by 22.8%. Men who had been in the UK for longer (>5 years vs <1 year) reported more partners in the past 5 years (67.2% vs 50.4% had >10 partners, p<0.001) and were less likely to report their most recent partner was from their home country (14.9% vs 33.6%, p<0.001). Among migrant CEE MSM living in London, 15.4% had been paid for sex in the UK and 41.5% had taken recreational drugs in the past year.
Conclusion CEE MSM in the UK are at risk for the acquisition and transmission of STI and HIV through unprotected anal intercourse with non-concordant casual partners. Sexual mixing with men from other countries, commercial sex and increased partner numbers may introduce additional risk. This has important implications for the cross-border transmission of infections between the UK and CEE countries.
Funding This study was supported by the MRC Sexual Health and HIV Research Strategy Committee and the North Central London Research Consortium (NoCLoR) grant enhancement fund.

Album Review
If There Was a Way
from 1990 is the first full display of
Dwight Yoakam
's doppelgänger on record. From the mid-tempo honky tonk of "The Distance Between You and Me" and the classic Bakersfield balladry of "The Heart That You Own" to the balls-out live 21st century rockabilly "It Takes a Lot to Rock You Baby,"
shows his fragmented musical personality that somehow remains inside the framework of his own brand of country. Fans of the old heroes such as
Ernest Tubb
Merle Haggard
George Jones
Buck Owens
Hank Thompson
Loretta Lynn
, and so on dig
because he knows how to write and sing a good old country song. The kids and pop audiences love him because he seems to speak to them as much with his swagger as his electricity -- guitarist

Scott Joss

Doc Pomus
-inspired rock balladry of the title track is another move toward the margins for

Skip Edwards

Patty Loveless
Kathy Louvin

is the best of her generation. Not even
Martina McBride
with all her emotion and range can match the soul in the grain of her voice, nor does anyone possess as pure a country voice with the exception of
Emmylou Harris
perhaps. The bravest moment on the record is also its most fun. The closer is a truly hillbilly deluxe version of
Wilbert Harrison
's anthem "Let's Work Together."
tears this mother up, raw and wooly, and
proves himself as fine a R&B singer as he is a country crooner. Here again the rock side of country, the soul side of rock, and the country side of soul are all wrapped here in

After decades (10's of years) Goodyear has lost the Corvette business to Michelin. Could it be that the "new kids on the block" don't know what they are doing or could it be that Michelin tires surpass Goodyear tires on performance vehicles. What is happening at Goodyear?
GM supplies the Corvette based on performance and price. Goodyear held that edge for MANY years. Obviously Michelin now has that edge with Corvette business. What clown let this happen?
If it was a mainstream car that lost Goodyear I would be worried,but you don't see that many vettes on the road anymore.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Great question. Will NASCAR be next?
Its sad that GT has once again lost a high profit and high profile market. Whats happening at GT is that the people at the top have no concept of tire mfg. and have allowed the Co. to fall behind in technology and culture. Many areas of GT mfg. is now more than 20 years behind and the gap continues to increase. Others have spent $$$$ ensureing that the produced product meets customer demands in regard to Delivery, Cost, and Quality while GT has spent $$$$ on non-performing improvements and exec. bonus payments for poor performance. Others have realized the value of the workforce while GT has held they are a necessary evil. Others have established customer relations based on partnership and trust while GT has based theirs on BS and attempts to fool rather than fix. GT also has the problem of shall we say creative reporting by the plants on the status of things like waste. GT has many egos in suits who feel they have all the answers and the peons under them have nothing to contribute. GT also has the problem of the workers having limited pride in what they produce, and this is largely driven by how Mgt. treats them on a daily basis. Another problem in the plants is that those promoted are often either yes men, or very skilled in covering up actual performance. Management in Production areas take no accountability for the quality of what they produce, so neither do their workers. GT management actually thinks that improvement $$$ reported are real and since no follow-up is accomplished external to the plant the improvement dance goes on.
The Org. of GT at the Corp. and Plant level is ineffective.
What needs to happen at GT is to have Sr. leadership that knows the business and is willing and able to change the culture and spend the $$ necessary for impactive technology that ensures customer requirements are met. To establish a culture that rewards real performance. To ensure that customer relations are effective. To place accountability where it belongs. To provide effective follow-up and ensure proper reporting. To actually face the problems that exist and put everyone to work solving them and then ensure they remain fixed. To streamline the Corp. and plant Org. to ensure effective and involved management. To realize that people are the key to success.
To refuse to make any decesion unless it is based on real facts , this Is the difference between I KNOW Vs I THINK. Also GT must get everyone involved and part of the Team. They have forgot that most people actually want to take pride in what they do and are willing to be involved in making the Co. a success that they can take pride in. The culture of GT must change for the Co. to survive and this will require those at the Top to understand that a lot of the things that got them to the top are wrong ....can they do this ??? ....... YES....Will they do this?? ....... now thats the real question yet to be answered.
well said
The problem with GT, like so many unionized companies in the USA, is that every time it tried to implement the advantages of increased technology it was always stopped by the unions that demanded the same job security issues that stopped USA manufacturing prowness dead in its tracks. Remeber the railroads that had to keep firemen in the engine cabs even though the fires of steam engins had long since faded?
The American labor movement literally destroyed this country and now tries to finger point at the managers who are the only ones responsible for the companies still being alive today

A next-gen fallout needs to be 60 fps. I enjoy TES and Fallout but as first-person games (primarily) they should really be 60 fps. I hated using bow and arrows in TES except for when sneaking on a still target.
If that happened in fallout player in vats would get obliterated as your comming out, plus were not all noobs who blast all vats shots to the head, you sometimes have to stop and plan your shots which would affect the second player
How sad must your life be to report a post even for a slight violation
The problem with multiplayer functions whether it be coop or full blown multiplayer is that it takes away from the single player. Halo was fine because the story was linear. Fallout is a beast of a different caliber.
From dialogue to creation to weapons to area transition to companions to all the little things that can be picked up and dropped on a whim. Housing, Karma, Reputation. It just seems like it'd be a lot of trouble to try to adjust a proven method just so people can 'play together'.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas were laggy enough once you got a companion so i'd hate to think what the game would be like with co-op just so people can goof off together.

Xbox One
I own both a PS4 and Xbox One, and honestly the Xbox One is very disappointing
Dark World Ruler 3 years ago#1
When I opened my Day One Xbox One, I was very impressed by the appearance of everything. While it is full of hardware blocks (the console, the Kinect sensor, the power brick) it still had the feel of being a "premium" because of it's packaging. That's just the way it was dressed up though and looking at it in my setup, well it looked as archaic as ever right beside my PS4 and Wii U.
Now, starting up the console after the update was really pleasant because I liked the interface a lot. While the PS4 sticks to the three S's with it's interface being simple, sleek, and sophisticated I found the Xbox One's more playful design appealing. It was fun with the color choices but navigating through it made me see it was a bit jumbled and rather unorganized. MS tries way too hard to throw as many little squares and ads per page and it just is a pain to get use to compared to the PS4 which is very user friendly in every regard.
My real disappointment though came from Dead Rising 3 and playing games on the Xbox One. The install process was *painfully* slow and made the PS4 install process for games seem like nothing at all. Waiting for DR3 to hit 50% install just to start it up was a pain and made the console just seem not efficient. Then when I finally got into the game, the visuals to say the least were just underwhelming.
When I popped in Killzone: Shadow Fall on my PS4, it blew my mind with the crystal clarity of 1080p gaming. It even ran higher than 30fps at many times throughout the levels I played and just played fantastically. DR3 being 720p was noticeable right off the bat and made it feel "almost-kinda next gen", especially with it's framerate chugs. I was impressed by the amount of zombies on screen, but playing through DR1 a few days ago, it didn't feel much different than plowing through the large amount of zombies in that game even since it is pretty much more of the same.
Now regarding the XO's controller, it feels like a step forward and a step back at the same time. I really like the shape of it, it's a bit better than the 360's, but the perfect controller shape to me has been the spacious DualShock 4 has that feels not only large but finely shaped for my hands. The more compact Xbox One's controller feels nice, but just not as good as the DS4. Especially comparing the sticks and triggers of the two new controllers, the DS4 nailed them perfectly while I liked the 360 controllers's tighter triggers and more comfortable sticks (the Xbox One's thumbsticks have a weird indent and feel strangely stiff using them).
As for Kinect I have little to say, seriously. I thought it was cool saying "Xbox on!" a few times and redeeming my codes with the sensor but the novelty has worn off and I don't pay much attention to it really. For gaming though, it in plain words sucked. I couldn't even get passed the first portion because I had to make a Kinect "grapple motion attack" when zombies would cling to me and it worked maybe 1 out of 5 times so I turned it off. Kinect may have it's neat gimmicks with the improved voice commands but as far as gaming goes it's still detracting and problematic.
My final thoughts is this: Sony made the better gaming console this gen, more powerful and topnotch for gaming. MS sadly wanted the Xbox One to be more about "other media stuff" and it's capabilities as a gaming console clearly suffered for it. If you have to choose either or, get a PS4 since it is just the better console and only $400. The Xbox One for everything it does not up to expected standards is just not worth $500

1. The Xbox ones headset > PS4s mono head set
2. Xbox controller > PS4s controller
3. The sleekness, style and weight of the xbox design > PS4
4. Xbox one Launch titles > PS4
I own an xbox one and have tested all the elements of the ps4. Thats my opinion.
I did not like the flimsyness of the PS4 triggers or the weight. the Dpad also feels the same and I did not like that on the PS3 either.
I feel like they fixed the xbox controller in every way, yes even the D pad.

Saturday, May 5th, 2007 is a very big day for celebrations this year…in addition to the various fiestas that will be going on across the country tomorrow, many of you will also have your eye on the prize – or should we say "roses" – as the 133rd annual Kentucky Derby takes place in Louisville, KY at 6:04pm EST.
Even if you can't be one of the 155,000 fans that actually makes it to Churchill Downs to watch the race, you can still celebrate like them at home – with a great TV and your very own Mint Julep of course! The Mint Julep is widely-known to be the traditional beverage of the Kentucky Derby – and Churchill Downs serves over 80,000 of them at the event! Click here to view the recipe for an "Early Times Mint Julep" – which features Early Times® Kentucky Whisky (a whiskey/bourbon mix) and seems to be the brand of choice at the KD. If you can't find Early Times® Whiskey near you, just substitute your own favorite bourbon. Cheers!

Netflix - Good but limited amount of anime
Crunchiroll - Whats ur opinion?

2 - What are the best anime games for PS3?
Any anime related games... All I know is DragonBall z games and one Bleach game...
3 - Why are some animes available on Crunchiroll and Netflix in full HD,

1 - What are the best Anime applications for PS3?
1. Dunno, I only use Netflix. I don't think PS3 is ideal place to watch anime anyway.
2. Anime based games always kind of sucks. Not counting games that turned into anime (like Persona) I'd have to give it to Naruto. At the very least, that game kept the feel of the anime well in the gameplay.
3. again dunno.

Above posted is right about anime base games is always suck. So get Tales of Graces F and Tales of Xillia. They are anime games. They not come from anime TV series anyway.
I'm Tales of series fan.

JoJo's All-Star Battle is the best adaptation into video game that I've seen and played
1) I use the Youtube app. Works perfectly fine and i'm amazed at how much content there is. If there's a show not on there i have 5 other sites bookmarked that work as well and have video players that function with the PS3 browser. I was interested with Neon Alley but i don't like how they schedule shows. Shame as i badly want to watch Lagrange 2.
2) Most anime to video game translations are fighting games and since fighting games aren't my specialty i can't give an honest response. I do wish more visual novels got localized, though.
3) Because it forces you to pay to watch. As soon as some people have the BR or DVD it gets uploaded to a free site and those sites lose money.
Delusions are as necessary to happiness as realities.
Yuki Nagato, Mafuyu Oribe, Kurumu Korono, Yui Kotogawa, Kaori Kanzaki, and Himari Noihara FTW

crunchyroll is great, with their anime coming out a day after the air date. An hour after it airs for those that pay enough. Honestly, I just buy most of my anime on DVD and BluRay.
Asura's Wrath is a great anime inspired game. It's set up like a 24 episode anime series, complete with opening and closing credits and commercial bumpers. And the chapter pack DLC is worth it. Another Century's Episode R and Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs are great mecha anime games too, but they are import only.
Girls und Panzer and My Ordinary Life is available in HD on Crunchyroll and is not on BluRay in the US.
Visually, TVR doesn't do subtle, and the Sagaris is like being poked in they eye with an electric cattle prod.
star_guy_100 3 years ago#8
netflix is ok for anime. they seem to always take ones off and replace them with ones im not as interested in, but that could just be me and what im into. right now a few that they have, both full metal alchemist series and one of the movies. samurai champloo, girls bravo, soul eater for another week, sekirei, rosario vampire, blood+, dgray man, chobits. i dont know about hd though.
as for anime games, i dont have any for the ps3. i have a few anime style games, catherine maybe. i heard the naruto games are good.

Hey, Who Wants to See Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth Return in Wolverine 3?
Not me! Because reminding everyone about the horror that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not the way to go here. Deadpool and Days of Future Past just got done erasing the worst parts of the early X-Men movies from the timeline. Don't undo all their hard work.

Primary School
Welcome from Division Head Leslie Hettinger
I'm delighted to introduce you to Langley's Primary School. We've carefully created a safe, nurturing, and empowering learning environment for children age 3 to 6. Together, our youngest students solve developmentally appropriate problems, practice mutual respect, learn important routines and work habits, and earn genuine confidence as they discover and share the world around them. Guided by caring teachers with deep expertise in early childhood development, children take risks and tackle challenges at their own pace, building foundational skills in math, science, reading, writing, art, and physical education. Gaining independence, resilience, and academic prowess through their early years at Langley, children emerge fully ready for the next steps in their educational journey.
Our flexible Primary School program ranges from three to 10 hours per day—so you can provide your child with a nurturing, academically focused environment in the way that best suits your family's needs.
I invite you to review the key features of our program and contact me with any questions. And please do join us for a tour —I think you'll love seeing how our youngest students learn and grow.
More about Leslie>>
Our program
To ensure your child's mind, body, and character all grow stronger together, our Primary School program meets children where they are and intentionally guides them forward:
Two teachers in every classroom—an expert head teacher and an experienced assistant—provide your child with extensive individual attention and small-group instruction. Primary School reading and math specialists also work closely with students to build these critical skills.
A developmentally aligned curriculum offers an inquiry-based, thematic, experiential approach to engage all your child's senses while uncovering individual strengths and interests. Children do hands-on science from day one, learning to make predictions, conduct experiments, and analyze results. Through block play, they learn problem solving, critical thinking, and math concepts such as counting, spatial awareness, geometry, and sequencing.
The beautiful Castle Room in our library is designed to nourish children's love of reading. Students frequently visit the Castle Room to learn the responsibilities of checking out books and make reading an essential part of their daily lives.
Classes with specialists in music, physical education, and Spanish start in preschool, with art and technology instruction integrated into daily class work. Classes with art and technology specialists begin in kindergarten. Your child grows in versatility, curiosity, perception, self-regulation, and physical confidence from day one.
Wide-ranging performance and public-speaking opportunities help your child build poise and self-presentation skills from the start. And through dramatic play, students learn conflict resolution, cooperation, compromise, and abstract thinking while reinforcing skills in literacy, math, and social studies.
Our Big Buddy Program, pairing kindergartners with eighth-graders, provides an inspiring role model for your child and fosters a growing friendship. And before you know it, your child is a big buddy, exchanging roles and now serving as the leader.
Frequent field trips bring classroom learning to life and fuel your child's curiosity about the wider world. The nation's capital is practically another Langley classroom. Traveling by bus to a world center of government and culture, witnessing firsthand the places and processes they've learned about in class, children thrill to this exceptional learning opportunity.
Developmentally appropriate spaces and high-school caliber facilities energize your child and spark ambition. Our preschool-centric playground and tricycle track encourage your child to learn through play, while enhancing fine and gross motor skills. And access to Langley's state-of-the-art facilities, including the arts center, athletic center, turf field, library, computer labs, and classroom in the sky—a beautiful rooftop space with four classroom areas surrounded by a green roof—inspire children to envision and work toward their educational future.

As first reported by FOXSports.com, the Mets have agreed to a four-year contract with free agent closer Billy Wagner, a deal that guarantees $43 million and could be worth as much as $50 million after a fifth-year option.
The deal is expected to be finalized Tuesday.
The 34-year-old lefthander was 4-3 with a 1.51 ERA and 38 saves in 75 games for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2005, his second year with the club after breaking into the major leagues in 1995 with the Houston Astros.
The Phillies had hoped to re-sign Wagner, who visited New York last week and pledged to use the Thanksgiving holiday to mull offers.
Wagner recently told MLB.com that it had become a "one-horse race" with the Mets involved in bidding.
Wagner will bring his 284 career saves to New York and assume closing duties from Braden Looper, who was 4-7 with a 3.94 ERA and 28 saves in 60 games for the Mets in 2005.
The Mets declined to exercise an option on Looper for 2006, making him a free agent, although Looper said he would be amenable to returning as a setup man to an "elite" closer – Wagner appears to fit that bill.
The Mets have been among baseball's busiest clubs since the season ended. Delgado was acquired on Nov. 24 from the Florida Marlins in exchange for three players: Mike Jacobs, Yusmeiro Petit and Grant Psomas, following a trade of Mike Cameron to the San Diego Padres for Xavier Nady to clear salary.
In a smaller move, the Mets also acquired outfielder Tike Redman from the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
The 28-year-old Redman – the older brother of former Mets farmhand Prentice Redman - played in 135 games for Pittsburgh in 2005, batting .251 with two home runs and 26 RBI.

Alcohol sales sting targets selling to underage
A week before high school graduations, after receiving numerous complaints of local package liquor stores selling alcohol to persons under the age of 21, the Eunice City Marshal's Office and the Juvenile Division of the Eunice Police Department conducted a sting operation, nabbing 13 persons on illegal sales charges.
Two male subjects under the age of 21 were sent into these businesses last Friday night to attempt to purchase alcohol.
Fourteen businesses were checked. Only one, SNC Minimart did not sell alcohol to the minors; 13 of the businesses did sell illegally to the minors, according to Marshal Terry Darbonne.
All of the employees that sold alcohol were later issued a summons for unlawful sales of alcohol to persons under 21 and given a court date.
The sting operation, labeled "Spring Cleaning", was intended to make employers aware of the problem that some employees were selling alcohol to persons under the age of 21.
None of the businesses were cited.
More operations of this type will take place periodically, according to Marshal Terry Darbonne.
Charged, with the address of their place of employment listed last, were:
Junies Williams, 21, Hwy 167 N Ville Platte, address of incident - 101 East Laurel;
Bobbi LaLonde, 27, 6417 Old Basile Hwy., 100 West Laurel;

- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1⁄3 cup chopped green olives
- 1 jar dried beef, chopped into fine pieces
- Combine cream cheese, parmesan cheese and green olives.
- Shape into 1 inch (or smaller) balls.
- Roll each ball in chopped dried beef.
- Arrange on serving platter with decorative toothpicks in each mini cheese ball.
Most Helpful
These were wonderful and must have been good as I had none to try myself left...I did change the olives to green onions as my boyfriend hates olives....great, cute appetizer
This was extremely easy and delicious! It is easiest to put the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm before rolling into the cheese balls. I have made this very many times since reading this recipe! Thanks!
This is very similar to a cheeseball that I make occasionally ~ I love how simple and easy these are to make but packed with flavor. They looked great on the table at our Open House and everyone enjoyed them ~ much easier than a cheeseball. Thank you for posting!
