No matter who's in the classroom, serious teaching quals are, IMHO largely irrelevant if the entire educational philosophy and practice are useless.

True. I highly doubt there is anyone who would argue that any teaching quals acquired in the West are geared towards a vastly different educational system, just like the one found in China. However, from the point of view of the schools, corrupt, profiteering rackets they maybe, insisting that a teacher has quals at least, to a minimal degree, ensures that whoever they hire will have some interest in teaching and not be the aforementioned cheese-monger who's only there to make enough kuai to get pie-eyed on cheap beer and afford the flight home and who could not, even if he tried, care a fig less for the quality of education his students are receiving.

I can't argue with that at all.
Personally I think some kind of set exam for all foreigners (who aren't 'qualified'), plus a prerequisite that they do a demo class in their home country and send it to the school, might be the way to go.

I agree with you about the pay we get, Eric. It's enough to live quite well (on a 'local' basis) here IMO. My point was more that, if the 'qualified' teachers can earn so much more elsewhere (Hong Kong/International Schools in Shanghai or Beijing, etc), it's going to be very very tough to fill all those positions with them exclusively.
Heck, the UK is full of disgruntled (proper) teachers who don't even find the appeal in these high paying international positions, never mind 5000 RMB a month. I've got a mate in Thailand who is a qualified teacher, and earns the equivalent of 18,000 RMB per month. I told him he could double (or more) his salary in Shanghai, but China just doesn't appeal to him compared with Thailand. China simply doesn't appeal to a lot of people, let's face it most of us are a bit eccentric in some way or another. Most British people want warm sunshine, a beach, and somewhere a bit chilled out, if they're thinking about 'abroad', so the only thing that will draw them here is a decent wodge, for the most part...

How would you orchestrate a demo class?
Yes, you would have to have some incentive other than teaching to come to China. A high salary would be one. I, for one, is going because I want to learn the language. There are more money to be made in the future by people who know their zhege from their neige than experts on Eighteenth Cent literature could ever make.

Personally, I came here because I was interested in China. And do still enjoy it, by and large. But I feel it's wholly unrealistic to expect to fill all the positions advertised on ESLTeachers'Board and the like with fully qualified teachers. Just never going to happen, it probably couldn't even ever happen in places like Korea where they pay a lot more.

100 years ago the education systems of the so-called developed countries were rudimentary and wrong-headed for all but a tiny privileged elite. That gradually changed because there was an open and informed public debate disseminated through a reasonably unfettered, high quality media. Developed countries with less good education systems tend to be the ones which were encumbered with dictatorships for significant chunks of the twentieth century.
I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this, and it may be best not to spell it out here. Basically, to quote an old saying, "You can't build a palace in a pigsty".
But even in countries with top-notch state education, ESL is often still only one up from burger flipping. I got to the stage where I was often so angry about the naked exploitation and general crapness of my ESL job, that I actually started wondering what effect it might be having on my health. My strategy has been to diversify into other types of work. I still do some teaching, but more or less on my own terms, and I'm not dependent on any one employer for my living.
I'd come to dislike teaching, and a little to hate myself for accepting the conditions under which I was doing it. But now I've started to enjoy it again.

The younger teachers here have great ideals, but I fear they are being crushed by the system. It will be years before they are the ones in charge and by then their integrity might have been beaten out of them.
Amen to that. I'm an idealist, I know this. I should say I was an idealist. Now I'm a fuckitist. At least about teaching here in China. I've had too many people above and below me in the chain pound into my head "You bad teacher." Why both bosses and students alike think this to be a proper way of recommending change, or inspiring greatness ...
Quote from: Raoul Duke on May 27, 2008, 12:15:31 PM
... and the students that could squeak into a Western college at all would probably last about 3 hours before being smacked up for cheating/plagaiarizing/etc. So, what the hell.
And I am indeed stating that the jobs, and a helluva lot of the students, just aren't worth it. They don't understand, appreciate, or want all that fine educational philosophy and tradition and training we represent. Nor do they want to, and they will fight tooth-and-nail to prevent it from happening.
Amen to this as well. I did have the joy (albeit looks like it's being removed from my schedule) of teaching American Uni prep courses. During these courses I taught Psych, which was my major at uni. I didn't even go in with
of essays, or even homework, really - I was given the class to wax psych/philosophy with a bunch of - at the time - great kids. Since starting it, however, and showing the depth to which some of the fundamental educational psychologists analysed the human, the class size started dropping - exponentially. Within three weeks, the size was 12 down to 6, then two weeks later 6 to 2. One of the two brought a friend, so it's back up to three.
I approached the kids as to why they left the class - and NO JOKE - one said: "I don't want to work that hard. You think too deep."
We were on the basics of the theory.
Now, in LE's happy bandwagon defence - the three that are present DO wonderfully, and one is even considering switching his major to Psych. He does, however, wish to return to China. And it pained me - seriously pained me - to tell him: "Don't. If you want to come back ? Don't. Stay a law major, it'll actually serve you here."
I said earlier I am/was an idealist. I suppose I still am - but to force myself to abandon my ideals because of recognising the complete impracticability of them here for the life of a student ?
LE said earlier that if you're not satisfied with the way things are going, or with your job satisfaction, that you're just wasting your time here, or something to that extent. I think this is what pains me the most. I'm returning to the west, for a short while. But I still can't see myself living there, not at this point in my life. I can't - however - imagine myself continuing this existence here as a "teecha" as RD said it in his analysis of Hong, Suzhou. I'm just too depressed.
I like to quote a band Brave Saint Saturn, who says: "Anaesthetic apathy, come and take my pain away." What pains me is that I can't seem to become apathetic. RD, can you hook a brother up ?
Maybe I need to start consuming copious amounts of drugs.
Lastly -

The Chinese educational system remains a crock of shit because changing it would cost the main players money and face. Period.

I confess to being a little puzzled by all this sound and fury.
My bias informs me that the people in front of me will or won't follow the path they mean to follow according to who and what they are by themselves.
Of course, I also, each week, insist that they do follow the particular path I've planned out for them that week because, though I know I'm just making it up as I go along, I also know I've put work into making it coherent.
When strength and mood moves me I do try to draw out of my own principles and make a broad sketch of the content I'm supposedly dealing with, and I like to try and measure it against some standards. Thus, qualifications seem to me to be nice, pleasurable things. And inattentive students seem unpleasant, insulting things.
And for as long as there are classes that will go silent when I ask them to listen, and will set to when I prompt them to action, and I face no prospect of robbery or spiritual assault from the management, then corrupt, silly venality that goes on outside the classroom doesn't become an issue.
Yes, I know, there's contradictions in that approach. I doubt I contain multitudes, but there's different things banging around inside there anyway.
But, too, I imagine, should management ever seem alluring, this live and let live approach would change overnight.
Another thing I'm a little puzzled by is this "if you reach just a few" idea. I find it humiliating to speak as if to a room and know I am heard by only a handful. The fuckers are with me or they're agin me, and this teacher acts out accordingly.
All of this, in my humble, personalised opinion, means... means... well, if I want to keep being a teacher, I should come to know what other teachers know now that I know what it is I think I know. That's what I'd expect from a qualification.
That's probably when everything would start to go to hell. With a broader perspective on the way things are and the way they could be, a lot of things could well start to look like shit. And low salaries may start to feel insulting. And effort to change these things might well be blocked at every turn.
What can I say? Teachers, prepare your breakfast and eat hearty. For tonight we dine in Hell.

I'll present, if I may, a little summary here:
Do Chinese students deserve teachers who actually try to teach them? Yes!
Do they deserve the horror stories I've read of teachers who just 'goof off' (great USAnian phrase there), turn up drunk, and show DVDs? Of course they don't.
Should teachers coming to China be able to write and speak English to a decent level? Of course they should!
Should there be major questions raised about some teachers over here, some of whom post on the ESL cafe, who can barely write in coherent English? Of course there should!
Is it realistic to expect each and every one of those teachers to be a fully qualified teacher with tons of experience, for the money paid? Of course it isn't. I don't think even Korea, which pays a lot more, could attract fully qualified teachers to all its ESL positions. Let's not forget, many qualified teachers haven't trained to teach ESL, and the majority have no desire at all to do so, otherwise they would have gone and done a CELTA/DELTA in the first place, instead of training to teach speakers of their own language, in the setting of their own country's schools.
Is it possible to find a middle ground of people who might not be fully qualified to teach back home but are well educated, have done the CELTA and do make a lot of effort to try and teach the students? Yes! (IMO). I think most of the people here fall under that category.
Should teachers be given better access to resources and materials for teaching? Yes, they should!
Finally, would you ask Lewis Hamilton to get a job driving an old lady to the supermarket in a Robin Reliant? No, I wouldn't!

Inspiring people's okay for you E-type Idealists. What about us Introverts who trade in ideas and independence of persons and don't function at our best in full-on, high density people all around me, clambering to get inside my skin and steal my soul situations? Dependent students and corrupt environments will be a trial.
Dunno. One goes with one's preference and does what one can, yeah? You find a way to do something of what you're good at. It's a pity there's no such thing as a take-it-or-leave-it approach to teachers here. The kids expect if not beauty than at least a high level of personal involvement. But then again, they all say they're lovely and warmhearted too, and that's not true either.
There's like--what? 3000 universities and colleges in China? Can't all be a bunch of strung out emotion junkies.
ps. neat summary, CD.

I do have to agree with LE about the students. They are, generally, great, and deserve, often, better than what they are given, including by their schools. But that's precisely what people are objecting to. We've all seen the schools' principals and bosses driving about in their shiny black cars and getting their expenses paid trips to New Zealand and Australia for the summer. We've all 'done the math' about the fees which are paid, the total money which the schools are taking in (PLUS government money if it's a public school) and balanced that against the salaries paid (to both local and foreign teachers), and resources provided.
CP. One other thing I would have included to highlight what I'm saying... Dalian is considered one of the best cities in China. My school's High School, where the teachers are all 'proper', qualified teachers, pays 25,000 a month. That's no small wonga, and in a city considered one of the most desirable to live in. A hell of a lot of teachers, by all accounts, turn up, take one look, and go home after two weeks (this also happened at my Wuhan school, but that was less surprising). That's despite very high salaries, good conditions, good area.

CD - I like your summary. And your crazy ass avatar - what's up with that (PM me if at all, let's not derail this post) ?
As I see from this thread, there seems to be three major schools of thought:
1) Provide a good teacher, and the system will follow. I see LE, Eagle, and others adhering to this belief. The central idea seems to be that of an inside out mentality: "You're not worthless, you alone hold the power to change !" This mentality charges forward, and gets things done: Washington, Jefferson, and Mao, to name a few. The slippery slope that I see this belief holding is that it is fairly akin to the Manifest Destiny charge of the Bush administration. "I WILL MAKE CHANGE, DAMNIT ! You're either for me or against me !"
2) Fix the system, and good teachers will follow (or I'll get off my ass to become a "betta teecha"). I see myself, and RD being main proponents of this view, as well as others. I can try to be objective. It, too, has it's benefits in belief. The Promethean ethic of yesteryear is gone, but the Prometheans got things done through peaceful protest; Ghandi, MLK, Lennon all held to their beliefs and cried "We're not gonna take it" (or maybe that was Twisted Sister
). The slippery slope here is, of course, that it's completely based off of an external locus of control: "You change first, to MY standards, MY beliefs." I admit that I'm only one man, with one set of eyes, and one brain; the way I put the world together is (probably) radically different than the way the world really is.
3) "FUCK IT." That's the undeniable third party at work here. The "Turn on, tune in, drop out-ers" of the good 'ole days are back in full swing. So many "drunken backpackers" DO just turn up, with little to no direction in life, let alone their drunken wanderings. But some of them make FINE teachers, IMHO.
Why ?
I, again, can only say my opinion, and it is this: "Teecha trainin'" here in China - to what parents, students, and employers alike desire - need not consist more than 20 minutes of reading: "101 jackass games to play to make people think they're learning a second language" followed by 20 minutes of reading: "How to lose your scruples, dignity, and interest in making a difference, DEBT FREE !" and ending with 20 minutes of reading: "Tea'ch am I, aNd so YUU caN: An intensive study of Chinglesh." All three of which I'm writing every night after a succession of several beers. Look for them on shelves in Fall '08 !

Recommended another teacher to my school today. First question from the person on the phone: "Is he handsome?" Second question:"Is he tall?"
Nothing was asked about teaching experience or certifications.
How do you expect the situation to improve with people like that?

The DLCL has moved to a new website: dlcl.stanford.edu.
Performing Trobar
A troubadour course will be offered in conjunction with Performing Trobar in 2013-14. Contact Marisa Galvez <email@example.com> for more information.
Through a seminar, workshops, and a concert at Memorial Church, the Performing Trobar project seeks to cultivate the experience of troubadour lyric as live performance. During the brief period from 1100 to 1300, a tradition of poetry took hold in southern France that combined passion and restraint, desire and song, and that still remains part of our cultural heritage. Today, scholars consider this episode the beginning of the Western tradition of secular love poetry. At its height, this art form of an essentially musical nature developed into a tradition in which the representation of love and erotic desire was bound up with the invention of original melodies using a storehouse of common themes and variations in metrical structures. A dominating element of this poetry was performance: the poet-lover, as a 'finder' of a song (trobar means to find, to invent), had to prove him or herself worthy as a lover not only as composer of an original song, but as a performer of that song before a live audience. In exposing students and the Stanford community to the rich aural and verbal texture of the medieval world, we can move closer to the original performative environment that constitutes the very nature of this poetic tradition.

There are some days it's just too hot to turn on the oven. Lucky for us, it's not that warm yet in Los Angeles, but this weekend will supposedly be a scorcher. We are heading into our June gloom days–drab and overcast in the mornings before the sun breaks through in the afternoon. This actually started with a bit of May gray if anyone remembers those weeks of dreary mornings last month. Regardless, summer is on its way, so we don't need to rush it, especially if we want to continue using the oven for special meals. Oh yes, you can still use your oven in the summer if you choose the right time. Oven braising is one of the best ways to end up with something that's going to satisfy. It utilizes moisture and heat to slowly cook your food to its most tender, delicate degree. You can cook the most succulent beef, lamb, turkey and even chicken with the simplest braising techniques. When it's just a tad too warm to even think about slow cooking a lamb shank, try tossing in a bunch of fresh, crisp vegetables.

Kutchan-cho Abuta-gun
Hokkaido 044-0081
9 rooms, including 4 lofts with double-height spaces and a mezzanine level featuring a Japanese tatami floor overlooking the double-height ceiling revealing the timber framework of the original lodge
Even as the snowflakes start to fall, adding powder to the slopes outside, Kimamaya Boutique Hotel remains toasty-warm; a cocoon upon the mountainside. Kimamaya is the Japanese word for be yourself and here, you can do just that. Jazz music floats through the homely Living Lounge as your bare feet press against the timber flooring, and all thats left to worry about is which wine youll sip as you laze by the fireplace. The vintages served here come from a vineyard owned by the family of Nicolas Gontard, who renovated this nine-room retreat to help guests get closer to the beauty of Niseko, one of Japans most popular ski resorts. But Kimamaya Boutique Hotels mountain location isnt only appealing in winter. In the summer and fall, pristine trails and mountain biking tracks snake through the surrounding pine forests.
Hokkaido star architect Koichi Ishiguro placed special attention on using sustainable, renewable and recyclable materials, as well as the original wooden framework to retain the history of the building. The Swiss chalet style roof belies the Zen purity that awaits inside, with clean lines and a warm palette of chocolate wood, rich elm floors and black granite created by interior designer Andrew Bell. Throughout the hotel, Japanese design holds hands with Scandinavian influences, creating spaces that are soothing and simple, particularly in The Barn restaurant. In this lofty, glowing space, inspired by traditional Hokkaido farm architecture, fresh produce is served with French flare and warm hospitality.
Kimamaya Boutique Hotel proudly bears the Odin brand. Created by Nicolas Gontard and his Norwegian partners Bjorn and Chris Fjelddahl, the brand is dedicated to developing real estate and creating hospitality experiences that encompass intelligent luxury. But more than anything, Odin endeavors to create more of one of the most elusive currencies on earth: time.
Snowboard, ski or go hiking in one of Japans most popular resorts, then retreat to a homely mountain lodge where the Zen surroundings encourage you to be yourself.
Kimamaya Boutique Hotel is set in the middle of Niseko-Hirafu, Japans renowned ski haven on the northern island of Hokkaido. The hotel is located approx. 100 km from Chitose Airport.

In-depth BiographyLoCash Cowboys are Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, who combine soul, rock, funk, pop, hip-hop, and gospel in a high-energy version of contemporary country. Lucas was born and raised outside Baltimore, Maryland, while Brust was born in Dermott, Arkansas but grew up in Kokomo, Indiana. The two met after both moved to Nashville to pursue musical careers and quickly discovered a shared vision of bringing the dance moves and energy of R&B and hip-hop into the realm of country. The duo's passionate and fun stage performances soon earned them fans and industry attention. A self-released album, LoCash Cowboys, appeared in 2008, after which the duo signed with Stroudavarious Records. A debut single on the label, "Here Comes Summer," came out in 2010, and helped by a striking video directed by Brian Lazzaro, the song acted as a calling card for the Cowboys. A second single, "Keep in Mind," was released the same year, with a full-length album, This Is How We Do It, arriving in 2011. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

text: Home Culture Find Where Your Slave Ancestors Are Buried Fordham's user-generated website seeks to create a national cemetery database to reconnect the past. By: Hillary Crosley Posted: March 9 2013 12:55 AM 0 Fordham University (The Root) -- Thanks to census records, many African Americans can trace some of their family's history, but what about those lost during slavery? Fordham University seeks to answer that very question with a new Burial Database Project of Enslaved African Americans, based on user-submitted information and led by Sandra Arnold, senior secretary of Fordham's department of African and African-American studies, and Irma Watkins-Owens, associate professor of history and African-American studies, along with adviser Michael L. Blakey, anthropology professor and director of the Institute for Historical Biology at the College of William and Mary. African Americans are encouraged to contact the trio with any information they have about slavery burial grounds in their area. Once the group receives the information, they will upload the locations and details into their database and build a historical network of sorts. Often, Arnold reports, the submissions they receive aren't where many of us might assume. The Root spoke with Arnold and Blakey about the project's catalyst, where to find a slavery burial ground and why these types of cemeteries are important not only to black history but also to American history. The Root: What was the inspiration for the burial-database project? Sandra Arnold: My great-aunt, actually. Her father was born a slave and is buried in a cemetery in Tennessee. She'd told me about the cemetery, and when I went out to visit and learned more about it, this idea was born. Michael L. Blakey: I've been an adviser, and I come from a history of work that involves cemeteries of the enslaved. We've been working on ways of helping communities memorialize by first identifying the remains, so I was pleased to see the Fordham project. TR: Where are the cemetery locations where you've begun research? SA: The project just launched in January, but our website went live in February. Since then people have submitted a few sites all over the country -- and not necessarily in the South, as many would assume. TR: Have any submissions been surprising, like a cemetery beneath New York's Empire State Building? SA: Dr. Blakey might not be surprised, but the number of submissions located outside the South surprised me. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

We searched and searched for almost a year to find the perfect floors to fit our life style, and the Rossio Cork was the way to go, we have a large dog (105 lbs) and with every other floor, the dogs nails would scratch and gouge the surface, and from the dog weight of the dog and the size of the nails, all other floors (including stranded bamboo) would get these little dents in the floor, and in high traffic areas this meant that the coating on the floor would crack and flake and peel off the floor. We heard about cork and everything we had read said that it was naturally water resistant, (pet stains are a thing of the past), it added insulation value (noticeable right away), it added sound proofing, (I would not say proofing as much as extreme sound muffling from out side noises), and we also read that it gives cushion to the floor (which I have to admit, I was very skapticale as we had carpet prior, and I like having soft floors to walk on.) but I was very surprised at the fact that I do not feel like I am walking of a wood floor, it has some give (not much but enough to make a noticeable difference). this was the best purchase we made for our renovation. the guys at the Slidell store were a big help, they even loaded the 22 boxes into the Prius, (surprised them big time, lol. thanks guys.
Best Uses
So far so good with this floor. It provides a nice, cushioned surface for working out, and doesn't get damaged if we accidentally drop a weight.
Best Uses
Had never done business with Lumber Liquidators before and was concerned both with service and product, but both went far beyond our expectations. The Oklahoma City store was so helpful in all aspects. Everything from ordering to delivery went exactly as planned, with good communication all along the way. Bought several boxes over what we needed expecting some to have damage but not one single plank arrived damaged. Will definitely recommend and buy from them again.
Did find the flooring to be a little harder than we expected to install. But then again, we did do five rooms and before this had no flooring experience of any kind, so there was a lot of learning along the way. Also took longer than expected but we did put 4 coats of polyurethane on. It looks really nice and seems to be durable. Hoping with the extra coatings of polyurethane that any water mishaps won't be a problem. Loving everything about it so far!
Best Uses
The edges where it is pounded together are very fragile. This is not a click and lock product, but a pound this way and that way product. Much harder to install than we were lead to believe.
Best Uses
Used in a kitchen remodel which is still incomplete. Love the sound muffling capability, the warmth and cushioning for long standing & dropped glass. Don't necessarily like the "cork board" look but like the look of the pattern I chose. I thought it was too dark at first but with white cabinetry, it will be great. Very frustrated with trying to lay it. We used the installation kit and ended up damaging the "tongue" on some pieces. After 3 lines, we gave up and a contractor son did the rest--he had to figure it out but then it went pretty quickly by hand-fitting each piece without the use of the installation kit. There are a few minor digs and scrapes but my son says it is easily covered with a magic marker in the right color. I plan to put a few coats of polyurethane on it when the construction process is finished. I think I will be very happy with this floor.
Best Uses
Great product, easy to install and looks great.
Service and delivery comments:
Lumber Liquidators tracking program is terrible. First it showed the product received, what it should have shown was the order was received at the warehouse. It took a week for the order to hit the website. One good point, the people at the local store were courteous and helpful.
Best Uses
We love the looks of the flooring. We have it in the family room, kitchen, living room, and den. We like that it is cushioned to walk on, and warm. We found the edges to be easily damaged when installing, but once you get use to it you get better at getting it installed with out damage. Over all we are very pleased and would use this product again.
Best Uses
great service
had problems getting right product warehouse shipped wrong one
Best Uses
It was fairly easy to install along the long edges, but the ends were a challenge, especially in tight spaces even when using the recommended tools. I have installed oak hardwood and several laminate floors, but joining the ends on this flooring was a new experience. The finished kitchen floor looks and feels great. We are strongly considering this flooring in our adjoining family room.
Once I see how well it holds up I may add the 5th star.
Service and delivery comments:
Make sure you check for color continuity before beginning. One box was much, much darker than the rest, despite assurances that there was uniformity in the dye process and any differences would be minor. The installation was put on hold until a matching box could be found and happily the manager took the one box back and began working with other stores to find us a match. He was not having much success, but as we live in an area where there were two other stores within a reasonable distance, my wife went to another store that had the product in stock, found a match and the 2 stores worked out the exchange. Very happy with the customer service!
Best Uses
Product is used in the living room and dining area. Two large rugs are laid over parts of the floor and a smaller one near the entry. But there is a lot of cork showing. We were fearful it was too dark at first, but it serves to throw all of the rugs and furniture into nice relief. And showd off the wood windows well.
There were more imperfections in the surfaces of the panels than expected, but the product is satisfactory for the price. Ten years ago, I laid a cork floor in a kitchen myself and found zero imperfections in the product I used then, but it was more expensive.
I think the installers should have eliminated a few of the panels as defective. However, the imperfections do not detract from the esthetics with which we are very pleased.
We had to lay the TV cable in the 1/2 inch left around the edge of the floating cork. In one corner, the installer did not leave enough room to round the corner so the cable would not fit in the space at that point. Fortunately, this spot is hidden under a heating element and is not noticeable to guests and does not bother us either. The problem is in a spot where the panel could be changed out, with some difficulty, but we have not called the installer on it.
Overall, we are very pleased with the product.
Service and delivery comments:
The only problem we had is that a finish piece, stair nosing, was included, but there were no stairs to cover. There was a defective red oak baseboard shipped. Both have been returned, but we have not yet seen the price on the baseboard deleted from the total charges after trying to get the problem solved several times.
The workers were always courteous and tried to be helpful, but follow through on details mentioned above was less than spritely.

It's been some time since Square Enix released a developer diary for one of its Final Fantasy games, so fans of this best-selling RPG series should be enthralled by a new behind-the-scenes video for the publisher's upcoming action RPG: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
In the video Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase explains why FFXIII's epic storyline required a full three games to do it justice, while director Motomu Toriyama talks about the game's four distinct islands and how the fates of returning characters such as Hope and Vanille will be determined in this concluding chapter.
Take a look below:
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th in North America and February 14th in European territories. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this upcoming title from Square Enix's 1st Production Department.

yay more zombies...With Lollipop Chainsaw, Highschool Life Is the Best!
Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio behind No More Heroes, is working on a new game. It's called Lollipop Chainsaw.
According to the latest issue of Famitsu, the game stars a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader named Juliet from fictional San Romero High, slaying zombies. Since she's a cheerleader, the game has acrobatic-style action. The style is poppy and colorful, which is slicing zombies sprays glittery pink blood everywhere. (This also might be a clever way to get around Japanese censors).
In Japanese, ロリポップ is "lollipop", but with the schoolgirl imagery and Grasshopper's constant use of the word ポップ or "pop", ロリポップ (lollipop) seems to be a word play for ロリ (Lolita) ポップ (pop).
Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda says this will be a poppy zombie game unlike anything people have ever seen. Images in Famitsu show a chesty Juliet carrying a chainsaw that's decorated with little hearts and that looks like it has a tapedeck in it with the tagline "Highschool life is the best!" It is when you're slicing up zombies.
Lollipop Chainsaw is headed to the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Release date is TBA.
after i finish Dead Space 2 i think i'll be done with zombies for some time to come.
PSN: CptnAmerica
Twitch: CptnAmeric4
Haha, I love it.
It looks fun. I hope they add Move support for this one.
lolIGN.Gamescom: Blood, Boobs, & Booty in Lollipop Chainsaw
A hot blonde is sawing the undead in half in Suda 51's latest game.
Lollipop Chainsaw, famed developer Suda 51's latest endeavor, immediately invokes Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad. Both are based on the concept of scantily clad girls slicing and dicing their way through zombies. But Onechanbara ended up being a repetitive button masher relying on a male fantasy gimmick and only earned a 39 on Metacritic. Will Lollipop Chainsaw fare better? Too early to call, but I can say this: it is a very pretty game and the heroine, Juliet, is hot enough to hold my attention for a 30 minute demo.
The Premise: Juliet is a perky blonde high school cheerleader trying to enjoy her 18th birthday when a zombie apocalypse breaks out on campus. She must use her acrobatic cheerleader abilities in order to quell the outbreak and rescue any survivors.
Juliet's cheer moves make up her light attacks, which can be used to corral zombies into groups. That's when she pulls out the titular chainsaw and buzzsaws them all into pieces. There is plenty of blood splatter, but when the zombies are finally put down they burst into pink hearts, rainbows, and stars.
The slice of gameplay I saw today had Juliet running around her school, ending zombies, and saving classmates before they were turned into the undead. It culminated in a boss fight against Zed, the punk rock zombie (who would have fit right in with the cast of Return of the Living Dead). Zed is a very articulate zombie, and he gave me some insight into how crass and vulgar Lollipop Chainsaw will be.
Zed's weapon of choice is a microphone, which he uses to shout attacks at Juliet. Giant, literal words come flying at her. Words like "F***in' bitch!" and "C***s***er!" After Juliet deals enough damage he'll run and hide atop his amplifier, which can be cut down with the chainsaw. Finally (and dramatically), our heroine splits Zed in half straight down the middle. He screams as he tries and fails to hold himself together, his two halves sliding apart in a gory mess.
So that's Lollipop Chainsaw! Coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.
reedited japanese trailer... or something like that.
Gamespot.Gamescom 2011: Lollipop Chainsaw Interview With Scott Warr and Akira Yamaoka
...Eurogamer.Lollipop Chainsaw - Preview
by Jeffrey Matulef 13/09/2011
Grasshopper Manufacture's games have always had abstract, manic personalities. Lollipop Chainsaw is no exception, though this time there's something a little different about it.
The story of 18-year-old zombie hunter and cheerleader Juliet Starling massacring hordes of the undead in a sunny suburban high school seems uncharacteristically tame by studio head Suda 51's esoteric standards. Both cheerleaders and zombies feel overly familiar; Grasshopper's always excelled at showing us things we've never seen before, and white trash stereotypes thrown together with zombies is a mix that's close to being worn out.
Happily, any concerns that a Western influence has turned Suda's vision into a generic cash-in are quelled as soon as the action starts. Lollipop Chainsaw is a lot like the John Hughes movies it's riffing on, with judgmental first impressions of this scantily clad blonde dissipating like the social cliques of The Breakfast Club.
The demo begins with Juliet arriving at San Romero High on her 18th birthday, only to realise the school has been overrun by zombies. Whether she decided to bring her chainsaw and the decapitated head of a guy named Nick (which Grasshopper's not talking about yet) with her to school before she found out about the zombie invasion is anyone's guess, but anyway - all that stand between her and getting converted to the undead are her chainsaw and high school spirit.
Don't look directly at the cheerleader.
The combat in Lollipop Chainsaw feels good. Really, really good - it's as exciting as your first kiss as a teen. Juliet animates beautifully, and vivisecting the undead in showers of blood, rainbows, pixels, stars and coins is extremely gratifying.
Curiously, for all the blood in the game, it doesn't feel gory. Probably because the blood doesn't look authentic, but rather like hyper-real neon blood, wherein amputated limbs glow like Christmas lights. Its sickeningly sweet rendition of violence is such saccharine eye candy that, if the sexualised portrayal of a barely-legal high school student didn't make you want to take a shower, the cacophony of colour will make you want to brush your teeth.
The combat sees light attacks carried out with pompoms strung into heavy attacks performed by the titular chainsawy. Getting a multi-decapitation combo results in a "sparkle hunting" bonus where the screen turns blue and rewards you with a score bump and extra coins (which will be used for upgrades, though this isn't being shown off yet). Murdering the undead fills up a glittery gauge in the corner and filling it all the way unleashes a special ability consisting of brief invulnerability and extra-powerful attacks.
Throughout the bloddy, confetti-filled halls of San Romero, other students can occasionally be found in trouble. Lollipop Chainsaw being cut from the same cloth as other Grasshopper games (and Dead Rising for that matter), innocent civilians have the hilarious habit of standing in the same place, pantomiming their panic. It's the kind of low-budget nonsense with a Japanese twist that adds to the game's charm. Despite Slither scribe James Gunn taking a co-writing credit, Lollipop Chainsaw feels very much like an Eastern rendition of trashy Americana.
If you rescue your fellow classmates, they'll shower you with coins before inexplicably evaporating in a cloud of pixelated ash. Fail to rescue them in time and they'll join the ranks of their undead brethren, resulting in extra-difficult zombies. There's a disarming sense of guilt associated with cutting down those you failed to save just moments ago. With great zombie-slaying power comes great zombie-slaying responsibility.
Mini-bosses feature too, and they're as tongue-in-cheek as the rest of the game. "Do your homework!" shouts one Mr. Fitzgibbon before hurling his podium at you. While you can't attack him directly, hopping over him and unleashing mid-jump chainsaw slashes tends to do the trick. His dying words - "You're getting a C-minus, bitch!" - make you wonder what you'd have to do to get an F.
Mr. Fitzgibbons is only the appetiser. A separate demo shows off the game's first real boss, Zed the Punk Rock Zombie. Heroin-thin, sporting a ludicrous spiky red mohawk and skinny plaid pants, Zed would be right at home in Suda's No More Heroes. Squaring off against him in a junkyard (complete with a scrapyard rave happening in the background), Zed fights with the power of rock - and his words. Literally. He'll yell phrases like "vanilla slut" or "f***ing bitch", which manifest themselves as shaky neon subtitles that must either be cut down or dodged.
The grainy film filter looks better in motion.
On the demo's easy setting, he's not particularly challenging, as a series of heavy attacks will bring him to his knees, but this is only the beginning. Even after bisecting him from noggin to navel he continues to mock. "I think I just jizzed a little," he retorts, before pushing himself back together. As Grasshopper's mantra goes, "Punk's not dead."
Now he starts dropping gigantic speakers over the playing field as he hops from one blaring tower to another, evading your sight. His speakers keep replenishing as they're cut down, but ultimately they're no match for the chainsaw.
Zed finally collapses, the letters "AAAA" shooting out in all directions and needing to be dodged before you can deliver the final blow. Juliet chops off his hands, which give her the finger as they hit the ground. She then proceeds to slice him in half down the middle all the way. "So emo," Juliet whines, while he ruptures blood all over the place.
This is Suda territory, alright.
lolipop chainsaw doesn't have an actual lolipop chainsaw.

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates.

Sign in for workshop Introdans and Kröller-Müller for over-50s
On Thursday 23 and 30 January 2014 the Kröller-Müller Museum, in collaboration with Introdans is organizing a special workshop for the over-50s: Modern art moves: mic/MAC. The workshop is a voyage through the heart of the museum and through the minds of exceptional artists. It is open to all over-50s in for a unique, inter(active) and unforgettable experience at the Kröller-Müller, guided by specialists from the museum and Introdans. Experience in dance (or knowledge of art) is not required; an open and fresh view is a definite advantage!
Adriaan Luteijn (Artistic Manager Introdans Interaction) and Herman Tibosch (Coordinator Education Kröller-Müller) personally take up the challenge. They guide the participants on an active journey of inspiration through the museum, with a leading role for well-known and less familiar visual art and the work of Lucinda Childs. This American choreographer and dance innovator created a new high-profile production for Introdans last season. mic/MAC will be a quest for essence and patience, for minimalism and power of expression, from dance to art and back again, with a surprising, personal conclusion.Modern art and modern dance make an inspiring combination. With the crossover-project 'Dancing with the arts' (2010-2012), Introdans and the Kröller-Müller Museum managed to persuade over a thousand schoolchildren to dance 'with the collection'. A great success that did not go unnoticed by the other museum visitors. Almost daily, people were asking the museum if they could also participate in this. That set the organizers thinking and has now resulted in this surprising successor.
Thursday 23 and 30 January 2014
Round 1: 10.30-12.30
Round 2: 13.30-15.30
Participation: you can sign up via firstname.lastname@example.com, stating which workshop session you'd prefer and (if possible) a second option too. The workshops are limited to 20 people per session, so don't delay! Participation in the workshop costs € 25, including admission to the park and museum (at € 17.40). Museumkaart-holders pay € 17.50. You can sign up until 16 January 2014.
