Carlene Carrier retires after 28 years in the classroom
MIDDLEBORO - Carlene Carrier's teaching experiences spanned continents and cultures, from parochial schools to middle schools, charter schools and even classrooms in the jungles of Africa.
But the longtime teacher found her niche at the Henry B. Burkland Elementary School in Middleboro, where she closed her classroom for the last time recently, retiring after 28 years there.
"She's just a great person," said Burkland Principal Derek Thompson. "She enjoyed what she did. She did it for all the right reasons."
The school embraced Carrier from her first day when fellow teacher Carol Damon, now retired, reached out and offered to share her classroom because Carrier's was one of several that were closed due to a mold problem.
"She jumped in with both feet and never looked back," said Damon. "She's what you call one of those ladies who have teaching in their blood. It was a calling," Damon said.
The choices Carrier made reflect the lessons she's learned. She chose not to put her own children in daycare and put her career on hold to be a stay-at-home mother.
It was during that period of her life that Carrier and her family followed a film crew to Africa, India and China. The Carriers were part of a company that filmed "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles," in which her son Corey starred. Carrier lived with the Maasai, an East African tribe, and taught their children in open-air classrooms next to a river where hippopotami wallowed.
Damon knew of Carrier's brush with Hollywood but said, "She never bragged about it. She was humble, but don't ever underestimate her quietness. She'd fight for students in need."
Carrier's approach to teaching went beyond academics. She instilled life skills. She taught her students how to take a journey into a book, how to express themselves and be listened to. Carrier embraced the advent of technology and the instant answers that come from Google, but she never gave up her hard copies of encyclopedia and dictionaries.
Instead they became part of her curriculum, and she taught children how to use the spine of a book to begin their search for information.
Longtime family friend Kevin F. Flaherty said Carrier's journey's around the world enabled her to bring back her experiences to her students.
"Carlene was actually there and can say what it's like standing in front of a pyramid or riding a camel," he said.
But Flaherty said Carrier also taught her students about their own backyards when she'd take them on field trips into a swamp, armed with buckets, butterfly nets and spades.
Carrier, who stand 4-foot-8-inches tall, says if she could wave a magic wand and be granted one wish, "I'd like to see more time for teachers to share literature."
Even after learning to read on their own, children still love to have someone read to them.
"Once they reach the age when they can read, not many are read to, and so many kids enjoy being read to," Carrier said.
Carrier started off every school year reading with a British accent from the "Minpins," a book by Roald Dahl. The story is about a boy who is forbidden to go into the woods near his home, but he goes in anyway and falls into a world of little people – Minpins, she said.
As soon as Carrier called her class to gather for the Minpins, they'd run to their places, "They enjoyed the pleasure of being read to. They just didn't want me to stop," she said.
Carrier said it's a different experience as a listener.
"In today's world, children need to learn to listen," she said.
She said listening is an art she instills in her students.
Maya Fontinah was one of her many students who helped Carrier clear out her classroom. The lanky 10-year-old fourth-grader said Carrier made school fun.
"She put on (children's singer and comedian) Bill Harley the first day of school," Maya said.
Carrier also taught her class a trick to solve division, by asking, 'Does McDonald's sell cheeseburgers?' The first letter in each word represents a step: divide, multiply, subtract, compare, bring down, Maya said.
The 60-year-old teacher considered each class a family.
"I spent more time with some children than their parents," explaining how busy work schedules cut into family time.
While many new teaching methods promote better education, Carrier said some key skills are falling to the wayside. She says people are giving up human interaction to communicate electronically, and muses how restaurants are full of people focused on their devices, rather than their dining companions.
She understands the no-touch rule that permeates today's relationships between teachers and students, but says, "I still hug them."
Now that she's retired, Carrier plans on getting started with her latest endeavor, to write a children's book.
"It was inspired by the Burkland kids," she said. But she's keeping mum on the plot. "I'm not saying."
Carrier said she will keep her hand in education and continue to work with children, but her next goal is to adopt a new dog, because her 3-year-old granddaughter Jordyn has taken over her old dog.

Man who supplied alcohol to minors sentenced
Said he was trying to provide safe environment
STANDISH — The man who supplied alcohol to 11- and 12-year-olds in December, said that he was only trying to provide a safe environment for the minors to drink.
Edmund Kedron, 43, of Standish was sentenced by 81st District Court Judge Richard Vollbach Jr. on Tuesday, Feb. 8, and is now in jail.
Kedron pleaded guilty to six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor on Jan. 11 and was sentenced to 90 days in jail and given credit for 28 days served for each count.
Vollbach said that the sentences run concurrently, leaving 62 days on Kedron's sentence.
"I gave him as much as I could," he said. "I would have liked to have given him more, at least double."
While appearing before Vollbach, Kedron said that the children were going to be drinking anyway, and that he wanted to provide them with a safe environment.
Vollbach responded by stating, "We should applaud you for looking out for the best interest of our children."
According to Standish Police Chief Mark Christian, Kedron gave alcohol to seven minors on the evening of Friday, Dec. 3. Christian and a fellow officer were called out to a residence on River Street in Standish, belonging to one of the minor's mothers, where he said more than a dozen minors were having a party.
In December, Christian said when the officers arrived on the scene, they noticed nearly a dozen juveniles were in possession of alcohol. Christian said the minors fled the scene but were later caught and confessed that the alcohol belonged to them.
"We issued tests on the juveniles, and anyone found with alcohol in their system was issued minor-in-possession citations," he said.
Kedron was originally charged with seven counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of furnishing alcohol to a minor, which is a misdemeanor.

Petition of the day
The petition of the day is:
Lovland v. Employers Mutual Casualty Company
Docket: 12-118
Issue(s): Whether, when an employee takes leave protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 et seq. (FMLA), and the employer later uses the employee's FMLA-protected absences as a negative factor in an employment decision, the employer's conduct establishes impermissible interference with the employee's FMLA rights without any further proof of intent (as the Third and Ninth Circuits, following a regulation issued by the Secretary of Labor, have held), or the employee must prove that the employer's proffered reasons for the adverse decision were a pretext for discrimination under the burden-shifting analysis set forth in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, as several other circuits have held.
Certiorari stage documents:

Mission: In addition to its ongoing function of diagnosis and treatment of neurotology disorders, the CNI Center for Hearing has created very powerful charitable programs for helping individuals, many of them children, with serious hearing impairments: the CNI Cochlear Kids Camps; the World Hearing Network; the Cochlear Implant Assistance Program; the Baha Assistance Program; the Angel Network; and Support Groups for adults with cochlear implants as well as parents of children with cochlear implants. In addition, the CNI Teen Thing is a social and recreational support group for youth with cochlear implants. All of our programs are funded by private and corporate donations.
Services: Hearing loss (Children and Adults)
Providing full complement of diagnostic testing
Treatment including cochlear implants, and implantable hearing aids
Dizziness and balance disorders
Chronic ear infections (otitis media)
Acoustic neuromas
Skull-based tumors
Facial nerve disorders
Clinical Trials:
CNI offers various clinical trials for cochlear Implants and implantable hearing aids. For more information about these studies or other studies being conducted at CNI please e-mail us at email@example.com
Cochlear Kids Camp
They offer two family camp sessions each summer. The 2008 sessions are June 19-22 and July 31-August 3. The second session is full as of February 9, 2008. Reservations accepted through April 19, 2008 unless all rooms are reserved.
Camp fees: $250/family, for four or fewer people. Extra family members are $100 each, unless they are under one year old, in which case they are $25. Families of more than 6 need to reserve two rooms at $250 each.
Contact: CNI Cochlear Kids Camp coordinator Judith Stucky at 303-806-7416 or email@example.com.
Cochlear Implant Assistance Programs
Eligibility: Applicants and/or their parents if the applicant is under 18 must be permanent legal residents of the U.S., a proven candidate for a CI before applying, have no or insufficient insurance coverage for the procedure, and demonstrate a commitment for appropriate therapy after the implant. If you have a CI whose internal device needs replacing after the warrantee expired, you are eligible. If your speech processor has failed and you cannot find any other source of funding, you are eligible. Funding for bilateral implants is NOT eligible. Eligibility criteria are re-evaluated every 6 months and may be modified more frequently if needed. These criteria were established November 27, 2007.
To apply: The application is available online, or you can contact the CNI. http://www.thecni.org/hearing/PDF/2008.CIAP_Application.pdf The application MUST be filled out completely.
The Angel Network
Mission: The mission of the Angel Network is to assist with the financial needs of cochlear implant recipients in need of rehabilitation.
The time immediately following cochlear implant surgery can be financially overwhelming. The rehabilitation, though critical, is often quite costly and there are few options available to assist with the costs of vitally important speech, language, and auditory/verbal therapy.
Eligibility: The applicant and legal guardian(s) if the applicant is under 18 must be a legal resident of Colorado or Wyoming. CI recipients, including those with insurance but only limited coverage for rehabilitation who have committed to appropriate therapy are eligible. Depending on the level of financial need, partial or full assistance could be provided. All other sources of financing must be exhausted, and a specialist will review each application to see if something was overlooked.
Eligible expenses: Only costs associated with certified and/or licensed speech or auditory/verbal therapists will be considered, and assistance in paying previously incurred is not eligible. Assistance will be available for a maximum of 1 year, but you may re-apply.
To apply: You must include all required attachments and documentation. You can request an application or download it from http://www.thecni.org/hearing/AngelNetworkApplication.pdf. For more information, contact CNI by e-mail at email@example.com or call (303) 788-4010. Applications should be mailed to The Angel Network, CNI Center for Hearing, 701 East Hampden Ave., Suite 330, Englewood, CO 80113.
Baha (Implantable) Assistance Program
What is a Baha system: While hearing aids are helpful for many individuals, there are some types of hearing loss for which conventional aids do not provide benefit. For some patients, conductive, mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness may be helped with the Baha system which uses bone as a pathway for sound, bypassing the outer and middle ear.
The Baha system is the only implanted treatment for hearing loss that works through direct bone conduction. It allows sound to be processed by the cochlea without involving the outer ear or ear canal, enabling those with specific types of hearing loss to benefit from a natural transmission of sound. Unlike hearing aids, the Baha system does not rely on amplification; and unlike cochlear implants, it does not utilize electronic impulses to stimulate the cochlea.
In early 2006, the CNI Center for Hearing began helping financially-challenged patients and their families obtain this life-enriching device by establishing the Baha Assistance Program. Through a cooperative effort of CNI Center for Hearing, Cochlear Americas and a team of dedicated medical professionals, this program may be able to assist qualified candidates needing the Baha device. The Baha Assistance Program awards only the actual system itself (the internal and external components) - patients are still responsible for other costs associated with the procedure such as the physician, hospital, surgical, and audiological fees. The average out-of-pocket cost for candidates who receive a Baha device through the CNI Center for Hearing is approximately $10,000.
Eligibility: Applicants or their parents if they are under 18 must be permanent, legal U.S. residents. Applicants must determined to be a candidate for a Baha device prior to application, and not have insurance coverage for it. Previously-implanted devices will not be covered. Applications may be considered from applicants who already have a BAHA device if the applicant is attempting to replace a failed internal device no longer under warranty. However, attempts to cover the expense of a replacement prothesis by other means must be exhausted prior to consideration for assistance from this program. Applications for a bilateral implant will not be accepted. Eligibility criteria are effective November 27, 2007; they are re-evaluated every 6 months and may be modified more frequently if needed.
To apply: Request an application from CNI, or download it from http://www.thecni.org/hearing/2007-BAHA-Application.pdf. All applicants must provide all required attachments and documentation with their completed applications before being considered for this Assistance Program. Applicants will be contacted if incomplete applications are received and will be given a maximum of 6 months in which to submit all required documents.
For more information, contact CNI by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (303) 788-4010.

A hot ass bitch that is surprisingly slutty and smells like garbage.
I was at this party last night and this fine ass bitch was rubbing on my junk. It turns out she was a dumpster bunny and let me ram it in her ass.

At a meeting of Northern Virginia credit unions with state legislators in October, Virginia Credit Union League lobbyist Reginald Jones told the audience how credit unions were doing a good job of creating alternatives to payday loans.
When the legislative session starts in January, payday lenders will expect him to tell a different story. The lenders pay his law firm, Williams Mullen, almost $648,000 to lobby for their interests. The credit unions have used Jones, known as one of Richmond's most effective lobbyists, for 27 years. It paid him $25,000 for his services last session.
But with payday lending emerging as one of the most controversial issues facing the General Assembly, Navy Federal Credit Union pulled out of its state trade group last week in protest over Jones. After losing the nation's largest credit union as a member, the Virginia Credit Union League also decided not to use Jones as its lobbyist. He could not be reached for this story.
Payday lending adversaries in Virginia have been critical of the credit unions for using Jones as a lobbyist. Virginians Against Payday Lending has unsuccessfully urged the credit unions to get involved in a political quest to banish the lenders in the state with an interest rate cap of 36 percent, which all other lenders face.
The credit union league's board has decided to stay out of that fight, while also developing programs that offer their members alternatives to payday loans. The group says it is more effective by staying out of issues that don't directly affect credit unions, and isn't changing that stance to support a 36 percent cap at the 2008 session.
"That'll be up to our board of directors, but we do not anticipate taking a position on that," said Lewis Wood, spokesman for the credit union league.
Ralph L. Yeatts, senior vice president of Navy Federal Credit Union, said payday lending contradicts the principles of credit unions. Navy Federal said credit union officials didn't know until recently that its state group shared a lobbyist with the payday industry - even though Jones has held both roles for six years - and believes it is a conflict of interest to advocate for both.
"This just came to light fairly recently, and Navy Federal does not support the payday lending industry," said Yeatts.
Many payday lenders are touting a new Federal Reserve study that contradicts a North Carolina study that said credit unions were able to help fill the gap as payday lenders were legislated out of North Carolina. Jones would have been forced to make the case for each side, even as he gets paid substantially more by the payday industry.
"I don't know how you can represent two different organizations that have two different philosophies," said Yeatts.
The credit union board didn't consider Jones' representation of the two groups a conflict, but they didn't want the payday issue to be a distraction to their own issues. Nonetheless, they have informed Jones that his law firm must choose between them and the payday industry at the end of the 2008 session.
"We want somebody who is also not representing payday lenders," said Wood.
Although the credit union league will use its own staff to lobby this year, Jones will still serve as the league's legal adviser on state regulatory matters. He won't deal with legislators face to face but will give the credit union's lobbying staff advice on bills.
The state credit union league says the issue doesn't directly affect its member credit unions, even though they offer products competing with payday lenders. The three largest credit unions on the Peninsula offer alternative payday products that include credit counseling to help people deal with long-term financial problems.
But the state group doesn't want to get involved because it doesn't want to imply that it can replace payday lending for everyone.
"We can't service everyone," said Wood. "We're not the be-all, end-all solution to payday lending."
The Community Financial Services Association of America, the payday lending trade group that pays Jones, says half its customers are credit union members and that credit unions are competitors.
The CFSA has said it welcomes credit unions' programs because they legitimize the need for the payday lending product. But it has also challenged credit unions' effectiveness as a payday replacement and complained that industry critic Center for Responsible Lending is affiliated with a credit union, which is a competitor.
Payday lenders have been in legal fights in Virginia for harassing borrowers who fell behind on payments, but their lobbyists have also been accused of attacking whistleblowers who helped defeat payday lending in Washington, D.C.
Former payday manager Williams Harrod has sued his former employer, Check N' Go. The suit says Williams Mullen lobbyist Thomas Cassidy, working with a Check N' Go lobbyist, incorrectly told police in the capital that Harrod was a wanted sex offender, causing the whistleblower to be detained outside a payday hearing.
Cassidy, who works with Jones in the lobbying/public relations arm of Williams Mullen, has denied the allegations that he smeared Harrod.
One of the biggest allies and campaign contribution recipients of payday lenders, Senate Majority Leader Richard Saslaw, D-Fairfax, was at the October meeting explaining how expensive it has become to win state office.
Saslaw was the largest individual recipient of payday lenders' largesse during this year's election cycle, receiving almost $41,000. They are counting on Saslaw to repeat his performance of last year, when he was pushing a bill with reforms lenders support and payday opponents say will do nothing to end the cycle of debt many borrowers get into.
Commercials have started blanketing television in anticipation of the fight. Saslaw has become more powerful this year, too. With the Democrats taking over the Senate, Saslaw has become Senate majority leader and chairman of the key Senate Labor and Commerce Committee that will hear payday bills.
The state credit union pictures of the October credit union event include an intense conversation between Saslaw and Jones. The caption didn't describe the topic of the chat. It said Saslaw was noting the importance of credit unions' involvement in fundraising and volunteering for campaigns.

Kourin has a larger role in the second season. As you might expect from watching the first season, her romance with Eigetsu blossoms.
Kourin is actually one of my favorite characters in Saiunkoku Monogatari after Shurrei. I have to admit having a yen for Kochou-neesan as well. Shurrei remains among my top-five female characters of all time. Kuwashima's sparkling performance in the role has a lot to do with that. Wait until you get to hear her speech in episode eight of season two.

You were right. She really does have an excellent voice actor behind her. She's a hell of a character, but I won't sell all her friends short. For 78 episodes, this anime isn't long enough. I think of the main characters as friends that I know I'll go back to visit later.

I'm glad you like Saiunkoku so much. Yeah, it is one great and nostalgic series. I've lost track of what else I've recommended for you, so I'll have to reread this thread someday.

Funny thing about BECK.. I didn't feel much as I was watching this show, but I actually started dreaming about it. By the time I was finished watching it, I felt that I knew the characters quite well. While I didn't really like most of the songs that BECK played, I appreciated the relationships between the band members and I did like the last song that Koyuki wrote. I also loved the duets with Koyuki and Maho. They were both quite lovely and memorable. It's too early to tell if BECK is a favorite of mine, but I did really like it.
Sola captured my attention from the first frame. Even before there was any real conflict in the show, the beautiful painted art style and lovely dialog had me smiling. While this was not a show with a happily-ever-after, and while I REALLY wanted things to work out somehow, it was still beautiful and I'll never forget it. This may be a favorite of mine as well, I'll have to wait and see.
I don't know what it is about Flag, but shows like this just don't do anything for me. I think it has partly to do with me being active duty military. Something just turns me off to shows like this or even movies that follow in the same genre. I don't like people's guesses on what being in the military is like. There is no possible way of knowing unless you do it yourself. The characters in Flag did nothing for me, I didn't care about them, and the camera effets on all the frames got old fast. I stopped after episode 4.
I watched the first 2 seasons of Black Lagoon. THIS show, on the other hand, completely did it for me. I was glued to the screen. I have never seen subject matter like this in anime, or thought about the implications of illicit activities on the people who are caught up in them. While I don't pretend that watching Black Lagoon is as good as an organized crime mastermind's biography, I definitely got a lot out of this show. I loved the characters, the plot, the setting, everything. Of course Revy was wonderful. This is definitely on my favorites.
Gunbuster in some ways reminded me of Uchuu no Stellvia. At first they were almost completely alike, but I quickly realized that Gunbuster definitely took a more mature look at the problems of space exploration. I appeciated the thoughtfulness towards issues with age and loss. I also really loved the boobs, not gonna lie. Why did this trend in anime stop????
Hourou Musuko took me by surprise. With the animation style and the age of the main characters, I falsely assumed that I'd be watching something that was supposed to be tragic that I just couldn't care about, or something fluffy that I wouldn't care about. Of course, I was wrong with both guesses. While this is rather personal, and while I definitely don't have anything to complain about with my physique or looks, I've often felt like Nitori and Takatsuki. I have often wished that I was born a girl. I'm very glad that the creators of this show didn't take the common Japanese stance that this is something that's just a phase and can be grown out of. (like gay or lesbian relationships are commonly portrayed) It really isn't. Although in general I find it harder to relate to children in anime, this is one of those shows that is an exception. I like how the characters are young, but still can make thier own decisions and take charge of their own lives. Too often children in anime are powerless. I think that is the main reason I was able to enjoy Dennou Coil. The characters, while young, have thier own motives, their own thoughts, their own dreams. They aren't along for the ride. They will do what they can for their own reasons. They're still shown as real people, which feels very different to me than anime like Bokurano. There wasn't a riveting plot in Hourou Musuko, just an honest look into issues with how society perceives gender. This won't be a favorite of mine, but I'm glad I watched it.

Jesh, has anyone already recommend Zetsuen no Tempest and Shin Sekai Yori to you? Those two are good shows. Zetsuen is an action fantasy with slow build up but very engaging story with Shakespearean element thrown in. Shin Sekai is a sci-fi series that breaks the norm and thought-provoking (though the story is pretty grim). I definitely recommend these two just to broaden your horizon .

Nope, you're the first, Obelisk! I'll make sure I get to them once I get back home. I don't have internet access out here, I'm replying to this thread with my phone.

I'm not sure how I feel about Fantastic Children. I don't like the character designs as a whole, they remind me of cyborg 009 or something. I loved the backgrounds though, they feel so old school. CG was hardly noticeable and that's a huge plus for me. I almost dropped this show after the first few episodes, but a small sense of curiosity kept me watching the next one. When the true origin of the children was revealed, I had to completely revise my opinions.
Suddenly the scope was so huge and epic. Then the ending came. It wasn't really what I wanted. If I was any one of the children, I wouldn't be able to stay here. I will definitely remember this show, even if I didn't like everything about it.
Kaiba left me with mixed feelings. After Kaiba left Chroniko's body I identified a little less with what was being shown to me. I felt that the show seemed to become about something else after that point. Instead of focusing on the power of memories and what they mean to us, instead of bringing issues to light, it was more about weird animaton. Each episode tried to be more of a spectacle than the last. I enjoyed quite a lot of Kaiba. Some of it I really could have just skipped over and not missed much.
The best part of Futukoi Alternative was without a doubt Sara and Soujyu. I felt it almost didn't matter at all what happened in Futukoi as long as I could keep watching Sara and Soujyu being the most adorable and sexy little things I've ever seen. The plot was outlandish and there were touching moments, but really all I remember from this show is the best twins ever. Oh and Rentarou's crowning moment of homosexuality when he turned them both down.. twice.
Anyways I absolutely loved Sara and Soujyu and will definitely watch this again just for those two. It also makes me curious about the non-alternative version of the show.
I've read a manga before with a lot of similarities to Koi Kaze. What I loved about this show was the ending. I'm glad, again, that the show has a more accepting attitude of the sibling's feelings. I loved the voice actor that they chose for Nanoka. She sounds super cute. I also liked how they touched on the subject that true love is very hard to find. If you do find that special someone who makes you feel funny and you can never get off your mind, you should never let them go, no matter who they are. I agree 1000% with that. While Koi Kaze was cute and there were touching moments, this is probably a show that I'll remember only vaguely years from now. There wasn't enough to stand out about it besides the brother and sister pairing.
In Kurenai, unlike other shows they've seen, the person taking care of the child was involved in shady business and it was a lot more violent than I expected. I am not sure how I feel about that. I guess it added a little twist, but I think there should have been more focus on his fighting and odd jobs, to make more of an impact. Either that, or a lot less focus on it to develop other aspects of the show. Murasaki was pretty cute, though. I enjoyed Shinkurou and Murasaki's times together, and it was a bit interesting seeing what kind of character they made Shinkurou.
Kurokami I will definintely remember. I grew very attached to Kuro.
Even though REC was so short, from the first episode, Aka's character really stood out. She doesn't fit into any stereotype. She's just a stranger than normal girl who is determined to achieve her goals. Ten short episodes flew by watching her on screen. I don't think I'll forget her soon. Have I mentioned that I f***ing love redheads??! On a less positive note, Matsumaru is quite cookie-cutter and forgettable, but I've noticed many anime seem to do this on purpose for that whole fantasy role play thing, so the viewer can pretend they're the male lead. Whatever.
I've thought for a while what I want to say about Romeo x Juliet. At first I felt that the show was almost a straight translation from the play into anime format. As I kept going through the show, things got more and more different. I became caught up in a whirl of emotion, and before I knew it, suddenly it was over. I knew that before I wrote anything about it, I'd have to collect my thoughts, so I've waited a while to write this post.
I feel that the makers of Romeo X Juliet did an absolutely fantastic job. While staying true to the spirit of Shakespeare's work, they definitely made it their own. The viewer is aware that this will be a tragedy, there's a caution label on the first episode. Despite that, there is a very real sense of hope portrayed as the Romeo and Juliet from hundreds of years ago are turned into real, living, breathing characters that soar through the skies of Neo Verona. I couldn't help but imagine that maybe this time, just maybe, fate would change and they'd find a happier ending. The blend of love, hope, tragedy and conflict reminds me a lot of Princess Tutu, though the two ended up very different. It's just as the show states, Romeo and Juliet have taught the world what love is. Hopefully their tale will reach a new generation through this show.
Also, DID I MENTION I F***ING LOVE REDHEADS?!??!

It's not anime, nor is it even produced in Japan. Strictly speaking, it doesn't qualify to be in this thread. But if you are looking for something moving and own a PlayStation 3 console, you might want to give Journey a try. It's available from the PlayStation Network and wouldn't take more than two or three hours to complete.
Why? Because when was the last time any anime, movie or game inspired such a letter from a fan?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Oh wow! I got a moderator to reply to my thread! I feel so lucky!
Shin Sekai Yori and Steins Gate I think are at the top of my list for after I get back home.
Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3. I know quite a bit about Journey though, because I've watched quite a few Extra Credits episodes that referenced and talked about it. Great show.
If someday I pick up a ps3 for 50 bucks or less, I'll give it a shot.
School Rumble was maybe as much fun to watch as G.T.O. Maybe it's the length of a show that does it for me? I feel like I'm more attached to Ichijo, Akira, Sarah, Tenma, Kenji, Mikoto, and especially Eri and Yakumo, than the cast of GTO.
My main complaint about School Rumble is just how there isn't any closure. While I had a lot of fun, I do want to know how things end up for them. I really did enjoy School Rumble but because of this, it isn't a favorite of mine.
Hmmmmm School Days..
I've heard a bit about this show before, so I think I started viewing it differently than I would have otherwise.
School Days made me question myself: Is Makoto just stupid? Or is he actually innately cruel, evil and incapable of sincerity, "via ex animo", from the heart, as the anime hints? Evil may seem overboard, but really, what's not evil about it? Makoto is happy as long as he is getting what he wants, and doesn't think of others unless he's forced to. Someone's feelings are not something he wants to inconvenience himself with unless it's necessary for his pleasure. Is the average person so different? How many people don't care what goes on next door, or in their city or state or country unless it impacts their daily routine of media consumption? How many people don't actually care about even their best friend? How many times have friends pretended to listen and used them for personal gain when it was convenient? How many people actually do stand up and try to make even the smallest difference for something they believe in? Is this just a national phenomenon? Is it just the United States that's full of these shitty people? Is Japan any different, with manga and anime glorifying morality at most every turn? I want to believe that can make a difference, but a part of me doubts it.
I guess that I've been thinking along this train of thought for a while, watching the anime that everyone has recommended to me. I just never felt that it was very appropriate to write something like this for what I thought of a specific show. School Days really seemed to bring all these thoughts to the forefront of my mind.
I've been writing this as I go through the show, and now I've finished. A lot happened near the end, and needless to say it surprised me.
Anyways, I did enjoy School Days quite a bit. This is a favorite just because of the sheer thought that went into it. It really impressed me. I'd love to hear what you all think about it and some of the questions I've asked here, if you have half a mind to share.

Shinsekai Yori was the first show I've seen that was actually suspenseful for me. Countless times I actually was on the edge of my seat, where I'd never felt that way in another show. That was the second thing that struck me as special about the show. The first was the art direction. It felt obvious to me that the creators of Shinsekai Yori put an intense amount of imagination and effort into creating this post apocalyptic world.
I appreciated the effort and the story that it told. However, to the question found at the end, I'm going to reply with a resounding "no". That, combined with the overall dark mood found throughout, probably keeps this off my favorites. We'll see.

I've got a couple more suggestions for you if you're interested, jesh.
In light of our earlier conversation about mature sexuality in anime, I think you'll like the four stories told so far in the episodic NHK anthology Otona Joshi no Anime Time ("Anime Time for Women"). All of them feature female protagonists between 25 and 40 and are adapted from well-known stories by female Japanese authors. After you have watched them, read this. I concur with a number of her observations about the series.
My other recommendation was made in passing before, but I want to reiterate it here. You should watch the "Bakeneko" ("Goblin Cat") arc of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales and then its sequel Mononoke. I suggest you watch them in the order they were telecast starting with "Bakeneko."

Thanks for the thoughtful reply SeijiSensei. I will get to them.
My computer has been broken and it still isn't really fixed, but I've kidnapped a laptop and am holding it hostage in return for more anime.
I didn't realize it had almost been a year since I'd updated this thread. Well, all I've had a chance to complete is something I found online randomly, not even a suggestion. I feel a little bad about that.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. While not explicitly about art like Honey and Clover, it definitely made me think about art in a way that Honey and Clover never did. Many shows I've watched have given me new appreciation for things that I took for granted. I think that thanks to this show, I've begun to appreciate the effort that goes into anime and video games and other forms of art a lot more. I have never created something with others like in Sakurasou, but it sure does seem amazing..
Maybe a bit like a relationship with a devastatingly attractive psychopath? Nothing else in the world quite like it, but you would have to be more than a little crazy to become involved. (in a very admirable way)
The characters are what struck me the most about this show. It made me not want the show to end so that I could just keep staying in Sakurasou with them. There is love, disappointment, despair, joy and happiness, contentment, so many emotions all portrayed in such a relatable way. No conflict that ever comes into this show would ever end the world or destroy someone's life, but neither are most of the conflicts that face each of us day to day.
I loved it.
It was also a little strange that the two "side couples" ended up kissing and sealing the deal, while Kanda didn't. Season 2????
I also want to add that I watched the first ten episodes of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and absolutely loved it. It's just on my computer that's down right now.. the same thing goes for Kotoura-san. I think I got to around 10 and had to stop. I definitely appreciate these suggestions, and even though I haven't seen how it all ends up, I really enjoyed my time with them.

Ten months and still strong. Confirmed most successful recommendation thread on the site?
Anyway, some things to look at:
Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Macross Plus and Macross Frontier. The Macross franchise is probably my favourite in Anime history, and these three pieces are much of the reason for that. SDF has some great thematic concepts (using a romantic triangle as symbolic of the conflicts of battle, presented alongside the actual battles within the series: "love is war", literally) and fine Characters (although it's rather old, so perhaps visually it's a step down from what you've previously seen); Plus (the film, at least: I never saw the OVAs) moves the series to different ground, taking a larger science - fiction bent, and taking the series' themes of war and revolving them more around personal wars, wars with yourself and close friends; these themes are handled very well, as are the relationships between the Characters they are represented by and accompanied by excellent action scenes and a great soundtrack. Frontier is potentially my favourite Anime of all time: It takes simple ideas and executes them to a very high standard, and develops SDF's themes in very fine ways (quite cleverly, it serves as a sequel to a series about conflict by looking at how conflict influences future generations: Most of the central Characters are afflicted by some form of event related to their past and/or childhood, sometimes involving the events of previous installments in the franchise or it's mythology, and a lot of the series revolves around them overcoming these). It's plot can be somewhat predictable at times (and this predictability could often have been easily avoided, to the point I'm sometimes convinced it's intentional), but it progresses ridiculously smoothly, and it's Characters are people I consider realistic and rather well - rounded. You can watch these series in any order, but I would recommend you watch SDF before Frontier for thematic context (Plus doesn't focus as much on building SDF's themes as Frontier, and to be honest is pretty dissimilar to the two overall, so it doesn't really require any prior viewing of the franchise to get the full amount of enjoyment from it). Also concerning SDF and Frontier, my recommendations for them refer to the series rather than the films: SDF's simply attempts to place too much in too little time, while Frontier's has less of the series' great Character focus and has what I consider some questionable plot alterations.
Kino's Journey: Focuses on a traveller and her talking motorcycle as they roam through the world the series takes place in, each part of that world representing an often brutal human problem. It's understated tone is excellent, and I consider Kino and Hermes one of the best duos in Anime. However, it is a rather episodic series, despite the continuous development of Kino's Character, and can be rather dark (although almost all of the stories have a small amount of brightness in them), so I'm not entirely sure it's for you. Still, you asked for things that are moving, and this certainly moved me, so I thought I'd place it here.
Shakugan no Shana: Hugely marmite, but you've enjoyed some other series that I consider so previously (F/SN, Angel Beats), so I decided to mention it anyway. I consider it the definition of simple done well: It has pretty standard plot elements, but the execution of them is very strong. I also think of Shana herself as one of the strongest Tsunderes in Anime, although that opinion isn't a popular one, and while the rest of the cast are adequately effective I don't think they're as well - done. Still, I think of it as overall enjoyable (The only absolute major flaw I would say it contains would be it not exploring the more interesting parts of it's world enough), and it does have some similarities to F/SN, so I allowed it a mention.

2013 had a number of good shows (that may not have been mentioned yet; I only skimmed the thread):
Uchouten Kazoku: A surface-whimsical story about a family of tanuki, this is about laughing in the face of tragedy and moving on. One of the best things about the show's emotional impact is the pitch-perfect pacing: it knows how to use contrast, when to be silly, and to let a scene linger to let things sink in, but they never pound a point home with the sledgehammer. It's a show about tanuki, and the motto "what is fun is good," even though the show makes it very clear that not everything is fun and that fun can have non-fun consequences. Highly recommended for great characters.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge: Nobody else is going to recommend this, so I will. It's the marriage of a love story and a survival-game plot (like Btoom! or Fate/Zero, from your list), and the two strands are linked together by a parade of sexual fetishes (which might turn you off). The main couple have, I think, outstanding chemistry (and there's a strange sense of both naivety and jadedness to both of them). The core theme seems to be to bundle your darker emotions (such as anger or vanity) into fethishes so they don't accumulate and possess you. The show's biggest pro is, I think, the art direction and music. It's not quite on the level of Nazo no Kanojo X, but it's almost there. With this show, you'll almost certainly know whether you'll like it after only one episode, and you'll likely not change your mind.
White Album 2: A straightforward love triangle exectued with an unprecedent attention to detail and emotional veracity. You'll feel these characters, and how they're stuck in a situation and make things worse for each other, because they try not to hurt each other. If you want to do love triangles, this is how you do it. (Aside: Many people hate the first White Album [which comes in two seasons], but I'd recommend this as well. The reason I mention this here, though, is so that you don't confuse the second season of that show, with White Album 2. Totally unrelated show, except that they share the setting - no recommended order of watching . The only things the shows have in common are specific songs.)

Something moving? I would recomend "Asatte no Houkou", it's a 12 episode anime, that follows the story of a little girl and a 20-something woman, who magically become an adult and a child, respectively... It's really good, the caracters grow on you and develop acordingly.

TheSix: I have been wanting to watch Macross for a very long time, I've just had no clue where to start and it kept getting pushed onto the back burner. I'll watch Macross after Otona Joshi no Anime Time and Stein's Gate, which comes after the two shows I'm currently going through. (Battleship Yamato 2199 and Kotoura-san)
It'll be fairly soon though, as I'm alone in the house for two weeks, and there's only so much cleaning I can do before everything is spotless.
I've heard a few recommendations for Kino's Journey before too, so I'll definitely look into it.
P.S. Hugely marmite? What?? xD
Dawnstorm your selections sound really intriguing and I can't wait to get to them. I have no aversions to things like you've described. I like to think of myself as an extremely open minded person.
We'll see JUST how much anime I can cram into two weeks.
Suit Up, that sounds wonderful. I'll definitely check it out.
In case you guys haven't noticed, I do try very hard to get to everything suggested, but I put a slight bias towards shows I've heard a bit about, or a slight bias towards whatever I'm in the mood for. For example, after watching Berserk, I wasn't really in the mood to watch anything else serious. So dark..
Also since a lot of people suggest, I go for one show from each person until I've watched enough to double back and hit more suggestions.
I do value each and every one of your opinions and I super-appreciate you taking a bit of your time to let me know what you think I would enjoy.

BTW, Crunchyroll is offering 14-day free trials that remove the commercial advertising.
Nakashima wrote another of my favorite shows, Oh! Edo Rocket, which he adapted from his original stage play. It's set in 1843 Edo during the Tenpou Reforms which banned, among other things, public entertainments. The male protagonist is a young fireworks maker who can no longer pursue his craft because of the Reforms, so he is forced to sneak out at night to fire off the occasional rocket. Coming home from one of these adventures, he encounters a lovely young woman who asks him to build her a rocket that can reach the moon.
I reread most of this thread and was surprised to discover I hadn't recommended Bartender. It's a series of vignettes set in a Ginza bar about a master bartender who can magically identify the proper alcoholic concoction to soothe a customer's weary soul.

Grange leaves Apple for tech PR agency role
Former Apple PR boss Nick Grange is heading up a new division at UK PR agency W.
He is a familiar face to the games industry thanks to his long years of service at EA, Activision and Microsoft, having helped to establish the Xbox brand in the UK. He also led Activision's European PR push for Call of Duty, Guitar Hero and more.
Grange left the games industry for a role at Apple in April 2011.
He now heads up W's Consumer Technology team, reporting to the agency's founder Warren Johnson. The new division will build on W's existing portfolio of tech clients such as Jambox and Pokerstars, as well as reaching out to new firms.
"We're enormously excited to have attracted Nick Grange to our growing team, and are energised by the potential to develop this aspect of our business – and, of course, to produce more great work for our clients," said Johnson.
Grange added: "W's evolution of a full-service consume technology capability was too good an opportunity to pass up.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Warren and his team, and to be taking a leading role in such an important venture for the agency."

| Piet was so kind to donate a huge retro projection screen to the space. The original 3 lens beamer is a bit old and has burnt in areas. But all the rest is in working condition.
Rob's idea was to replace the old beamer with a new, LCD HiDef projector, and possibly add a touchsensor. The possible applications for 'Big Ass Screen' are left to the hackerspace visitors.
|T0rx, TomD, Kefcom, Bramsky
|Den Bunker
Big Ass Brainstorm :
- Add big ass multitouch feature
- Add big ass 3D projection features
- Build custom input interfaces or repurpose existing ones to optimally use 3D illusion/ interaction
- Play games on it, hook up c64, play more games
- Making it control center for big ass world domination or some other home automation project
- webCam Mouse Movement? :D link to project
It was deemed that the original projection system was beyond repair, because the 3 color CRT's are burnt in too much. Feeding the projector with an inverted image mask, to correct the burnt in areas, would render the projected image even dimmer as it already is. The image quality would be better if the whole projector would be replaced by a more recent LCD projetor.
Approach 1
At the moment the BAS is gutted, internal electronics have been removed and the first tests to fit in an LCD projector are done. Unfortunately the projected image in the screen is too small.
To fit in the LCD projector, succesfully we can either widening the projection beam (by using a wide angle lens) or lengthening the projection path (by using extra mirrors) or a combination of both. For this to work we need:
- wide angle lens for the LCD projector (the lenses of the old-CRT projector are too big to fit on the LCD projector)
- some mirrors
Alas retro fitting the LCD projector might be too cumbersome. A new approach has been proposed.
Approach 2
Using an overhead projector and old LCD monitor. The LCD matrix (without the backlight) will form the image where usually the slides are placed on the overhead projector. For this approach to work we need:
- Working LCD monitor that may be disassemled (Bram already provided one)
- Overhead projector.
after concideration it apeared to be better to go with approach 1. We have found a lens witch widens the beam of the projector and thuns creating a bigger image we still need a mirror to create a longer light path
we still need:
a mirror of at least 10cm square 10x10cm mirror is available, (bigger is still better)
Current state:
After test fitting the projector with the 38x45 cm mirror we where able to fill at least 70 to 80% of the total screen. we still had the problem that the projector was standing to far behind the tv. To solve this we rotated it and added a seccond mirror. With this setup the projector itself was able to be placed inside the tv. The second mirror is to small and causes the image to be cut but we have a decent image.
we might need a second miror so that the projector itself can be included in the case of the tv ( better stealth and movability)
While trying to get a picture on the display de lamp of the projector dicided to die. So its back to nothing. Two possible solutions have emerged:
- Buy a new lamp ( quite expensive). (250-350 euros for complete lamp + case, 150-250 for the lamp only)
- Scrap the whole project(the tv takes up much space anyway).
If we dicide to keep the tv and try again to get an image, it might be better to buy a new projector. This is because the cost to repair our current one is as expensive as a new projector, so we are better off buying a new one.Or go with Approach 2

Small innkeepers in Broward County are pulling out the stops to ensure their properties are standout destinations for discerning travelers seeking a more intimate and personalized, yet high-quality, vacation.
For many that means maintaining their property's Superior Small Lodging status, which is awarded to qualifying properties with 50 rooms or less that pass an inspection and meet criteria established by the Florida Superior Small Lodging Association, a Hollywood-based nonprofit.
It's also about going the extra mile to achieve the association's top honor for best housekeeping practices — a Donal A. Dermody White Glove Award.
Fifty SSL properties in the county recently earned a White Glove after achieving a score of 100 percent during housekeeping inspections this year, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau announced Tuesday.
White Glove awardees included: The Pillars Hotel and Pineapple Point Guest House in Fort Lauderdale; The Desoto Oceanview Inn and The Desoto Ocean Spray in Hollywood and Pelican Place Apartments and Pineapple Place Apartments in Pompano Beach.
"It keeps us on our toes, and ensures that we go beyond the standards most hotels meet," Steve Welsch, general manager of the Desoto Hollywood properties, said of the rigorous inspection process. "The fact that we meet and surpass such stringent criteria means our guests are assured the ultimate in cleanliness and a great vacation experience."
Located along Desoto Street in the North Beach section of Hollywood, the Desoto Oceanview has nine units, while sister property, Desoto Ocean Spray, has six, one-bedroom units. It's the second White Glove honor for the inns.
Overall, the 62 properties that recently achieved SSL status for the 2013-14 marketing year averaged a score of 97.42 percent during the housekeeping inspections, the CVB noted. For a e directory of SSL properties, visit sunny.org/ssl.
The unannounced inspections began in May and are part of an independent property review program inns and motels must undergo to requalify or qualify for SSL status.
Properties are inspected and selected based on cleanliness, personalized service and charm. They must score at least 82 percent on the inspection to qualify.
"One size never fits all, and while today's travelers are seeking experiences that come in different shapes and sizes, they don't expect to compromise on quality," CVB President Nicki E. Grossman said in a statement. "Our Superior Small Lodgings and White Glove Award winners help visitors find the perfect intimate accommodations."

An incredible outing from Oklahoma's Blake Griffin, a likely top-3 pick at this point.
"Have you guys ever seen the movie, 'The Terminator?' That's what that kid is like. That kid has no facial expressions. He just plays and it's like every kid out there on him is like Sarah Connor, and he's just going to take his time and kill him."

David Stremme on driving at Martinsville Speedway
"Martinsville is a place where you beat and bang all day. As a driver, you have to be defensive all day. You have to be patient and wait for your competitors to make a mistake and take advantage of it.
"As a whole, all three Penske Racing teams have picked up their short-track programs this season. Both Sam [Hornish, Jr.] and Kurt [Busch] have helped me at these kinds of tracks. I feel like all the testing we have done at places like Rockingham has really paid off. I am optimistic about our chances for a strong run this weekend. I know that this is [crew chief] Roy's [McCauley] favorite track, which gives me a little more motivation to do well."
Crew Chief Roy McCauley on racing at Martinsville Speedway
"Martinsville is one of my favorite places. It is full of history, being one of NASCAR's oldest tracks, and it would really mean a lot for us to get a victory there.
"The keys to success at Martinsville are to preserve your brakes. It is a place where brakes are so important and you need them to last for 500 laps. We learned some things last week in Rockingham that will translate to the race this weekend. David [Stremme] ran a number of laps and was very comfortable with the chassis. We know we have a big task this weekend, but I feel we are all up for the challenge."

Six Elis Score But It's Not Enough
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – One hundred and five shots attempted with 53 on goal and six that found the net. Those are the type of offensive numbers that should produce a victory, unless you have a tough night at the other end. That's exactly what happened to the No. 8 Yale men's hockey team in a 7-6 loss to a Sacred Heart team hungry for its first win.
The Bulldogs (5-2-1) outshot the Pioneers 53-19, but Sacred Heart erased three deficits and goalie Steven Legatto stopped 47 shots to produce the upset. Yale, which lost for the first time in four games, may have had its fate sealed by missing three or four open nets. Meanwhile, the home team didn't miss many openings, lighting the lamp seven times on 19 shots.
"They (SHU) deserved to win the hockey game tonight. They were better than us tonight from top to bottom," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach, who mentioned that he expected to have tough game from the team led by his former assistant, C.J. Marottolo. "Congratulations to C.J., he's done a wonderful job."
Six different Bulldogs scored goals while a pair of goalies spent time between the pipes.
Matt Gingera got SHU on the board first with a wrap-around shot that snuck past Malcolm on the glove side.
The Bulldogs used their first man-advantage to even things at 8:23 of the first. Freshman blueliner Tommy Fallen (Plymouth, Minn.) took a pass from Kevin Peel (Onoway, AB) and fired a shot from point for his second tally of the year.
Captain Brian O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.), who had two assists, set up the next Yale goal that put the visitors up 2-1. He took a pretty drop pass in the left circle from Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), spun to see who was cutting to the net, tripped and got off a pass to rookie defenseman Matt Killian (Basking Ridge, NJ). Killian touched the puck at the top of the slot, spun to his forehand and snapped off a low shot that found the left corner of the net for his first collegiate goal.
Sacred Heart thought it had tied the game with 4:02 left in the first on an off-angle shot by Brian Sheehan that appeared to bounce off the post before being tapped back into the net while the whistle blew. The officials met with each other and then with the goal judge before taking away the goal. It didn't matter because five seconds later Anthony Yelovich grabbed a rebound and had an easy put-back at 16:03. Yale junior goalie Jeff Malcolm (10 saves), who tried to pull the rebound back to his glove, was immediately replaced by Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.). whose last game action had been in the NCAA Tournament at Webster Bank Arena, in relief of Ryan Rondeau '11.
The Bulldogs outshot the Pioneers 21-4 in the second but the home team scored two of the three goals in the frame.
Drew George gave the Pioneers another lead when he stole a Yale pass, beat a defender and slipped it past Maricic (2 saves) at 6:35 of the second. SHU made it three in a row almost eight minutes later with a Chad Filteau goal, the first of his two.
The Blue, which dominated possession and opportunities in the second, stopped the bleeding with Miller's first goal of the year with 1:56 left. He took a pass from O'Neill before the red line, skated to the high slot, toe-dragged and then fired a low wrister past Legatto, who had had 19 saves in the frame.
Malcolm went back to the net for the start of the third and watched his team, which began with an advantage, score two quick ones to go up 5-4. Senior Chad Ziegler (Spruce Grove, AB) re-directed a Nick Jaskowiak (Bloomington, Minn.) shot from the point at 1:54. Twenty-one seconds later sophomore Jesse Root (Pittsburgh, Pa.) converted a Fallen feed for his first of the year.
Yale's prosperity lasted for a little more than a minute. Eric Delong's goal made it 5-5 just 3:23 in. Ben Ketchum, whose sister skated for the Yale women's team, gave the home team another lead midway through the third when he came in alone on the right side and found an opening on Malcolm to make it 6-5.
It wasn't over for the Blue, who had Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ) working hard around the net. He took a pass from Root and skated across the crease before flicking one home to tie the game for the fifth and final time.
Filteau second tally was the winner for SHU, which gained its first win over Yale in three tries. He streaked in from the right side at 15:46 and snapped off a rising shot that few goalies would stop.
Not many people watching this game figured Legatto could hold off the wave of rubber enough to hang on.
BULLDOG BITES: The only change in the Yale lineup from last Saturday's UConn game was freshman Anthony Day (Buffalo, NY) in for senior forward Charles Brockett (Shaker Heights, Ohio), who has 99 career games played… Yale had one of the longest delayed penalty possessions anyone had ever seen when the controlled the puck for over a minute without letting SHU touch the puck… The Bulldogs played two games at Webster Bank Arena last March in the 2011 East Regional and will co-host the 2012 East Regional at the same venue this year… Yale's all-time record in the building is 1-3 after its first regular season contest... The Bulldogs play next at home against No. 5 Boston College Saturday at 4 pm.
