I'll probably miss this and only rent the DVD if I feel like watching some more SFX. So far it looks pretty bad. It also seems to have a very different feel from the original animation. Then I wonder why Shyamalan is still directing movies... and why is he directing this one? His movies at best are barely average for me. Seems like a lot of bad choices here. Same old story?
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
I'm actually looking forward to this movie..and this is coming from someone who calls M. Night, Shalamalamadingdong...but I love the cartoon and this
looks like it might be fun...I'll still wait to Netflix it, though..
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Well I've actually liked most of the M Knight movies that I've seen. But I did read a few reviews from people who had gone to prescreening who said that it was just OK. But hopefully M. Knight will take the notes and be able to make it better. I loved the animated series.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Yeah, definitely a netflix rent for me... I thought the animation was pretty good, most of the time. Too bad it was outsourced to Korea... but this seems like one of those movies where you don't want to have any expectations. The trailer actually feels silly to me and it was making me laugh. Maybe the more serious they try to make it look, the more it feels like a parody.
Now I'm at the point where I've been training myself to never have expectations for any film. I'm hoping I'll be surprised one of these days. It's very hard to find something to watch that is better than just OK.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
You nailed what was the same problem I had with the Star Wars prequels; none of the humor from the original was there. The smaller, character based fun moments help contrast the dark epic scenes and let us get to know the characters as people rather than plot devices. Let's hope M Knight hasn't forgotten that.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Yeah, lets see what happens when the movie gets released. You really can't base too much off of the trailers (remember the Iron Giant?).
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
You do have a good point there... but in this case I am definitely not counting on much, between a director who has bored me more than enough times and how all the actors are from TV or nothing of interest...and the actor playing the main part has never been in anything (He must be a natural or something to grab a big role like this). I've known some movies that worked very well with a cast of rookies, but it's usually rare. Hell, even with "pro" actors a good movie is rare. Either way I'll wait for it to get to netflix... well, unless everyone is coming out of the theater saying their mind was blown (and not just by the FX). I don't want to go through the same thing I did when I saw the other Avatar which was all FX and no story.
I'm sure all the kids that saw the animation will go see it without question. It's PG.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
I was so excited about Airbender until I saw this little bit from what should be one of the most awesome jaw-dropping action sequences in the film. Instead it's full of unmotivated loose wirework that lacks all of the grace and appeal inherent in Aang's movement as well as his character. To top it off, we see all of it in super slow motion. Disappointing: it doesn't even look like he's moving of his own accord but rather a rag doll being whipped around by some unseen villain. It's such a shame as there's some drop dead beautiful particlework and stuntwork choregraphy being done, but the wirework betrays all of that effort.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty damn positive when it comes to rooting for movies and it takes a lot to drag me down. I'm a career George Lucas apologist and I even found lots to love in the Matrix sequels that are so easy to hate on. But when something so core as the effortless & graceful animation inherent in Aang's movement from the cartoon was literally thrown aside for this, I'm skeptical at how much this director gets what makes The Last Airbender so special.
Prove me wrong, M Night.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
I feel ya, and I'm not very impressed either...oh well, maybe thats where they are incorporating the comedy aspects of the animation???....lol
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Seriously? That's a clip from the final cut? Those unnatural movements on the wire are lame and the slow motion makes it look even worse. All those high end FX everywhere and they ruin it with that, making it feel cheap.... weird.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
I've heard of the cartoon and seen images but never watched it. The trailer looks exciting.
Shyamalan has an annoying tendency to assume the audience is low brow when it's not. He starts off good but even a grade school kid can get what's going on and it ruins the suspense of his movies.
His "Unbreakable" and "Signs" were awesome.
Maybe using someone else's stories will show more power in his films and this new movie will be just as good as his old ones.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Okay. I said withhold judgment until after the movie got released. My brother went out to go see it at a screening and he said it sucked. We talked about it and apparently it did hold up to our expectations according to his experience at the theatre (some people did walk out and there was a few boos at the end).
So I went to go check the reviews and sure enough... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/last_airbender/
The good news is that previous to watching the movie he went ahead and watched the animated series so he could be familiar with the source material, and he was glad he did because the movie would have spoiled a very good animated series.
Apparently the one good idea that made it into the movie was changing the magic system so that fire benders needed fire to bend instead of just conjuring it. That does help unify the magic system.
Hopefully this movie doesn't ruin the franchise because the animated series is quite good, so don't let that stop you if you haven't watched the series yet.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Well the original 3 Star Wars movies are still great even after the prequels were made, so hopefully the movie/movies won't kill the TV series.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
Actually, I didn't think it would bomb as hard as it is or be as bad as everyone is saying. It looks like it's even worse than I expected. Ouch... hopefully Shyamalan will get the idea this time and stop directing movies. What a huge waste and negative slam for the animation.
Yeah, if you haven't seen the animation, go watch that and forget about the movie. Pretend the movie doesn't exist. I wonder how many people will know the animation before they attempt to see the movie. I may still watch the movie when it's streaming on netflix (probably will) just to see how bad it is.... or I may not because I don't want to see a good animation turned into live action crap. That's a tough one.
It was pretty obvious to me when I saw the preview. The cast alone made it clear enough. Sometimes you can't let a preview influence your opinion but there are other times when you can just know.
Too bad.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
I just saw it in 3D at the Cinerama Dome here in Hollywood: absolutely dreadful.
Nothing redeeming whatsoever. M Night needs to at least stop being allowed to write the scripts to the movies he directs, if not put on the directing bench for a long time.
This material should have been treated like Lord of the Rings but instead it was given the sub-Golden Compass treatment. Wooden acting, clunky editing, incredibly poor post-stereo 3D, and more exposition dialogue and narration than I've ever seen in a single movie.
I've never been in a theater where the crowd laughed so hard at poor editing choices or actor's deliveries. All of the vibrancy and humor in the characters was drained out in exchange for angst or use as exposition devices.
I didn't expect to be bothered by the "racebending" issue with the casting, but there's literally a scene where all of the speaking parts are white actors while the rest of the water-bending tribe are of an Inuit or Asain race. It was jarring if not wholly offensive.
To top it all off, Aang's name is pronounced incorrectly throughout the movie.
Epic fail has never been used more appropriately.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
What's with all the slow motion. Okay I get it! They want everyone to see the special effects and CGI, so they make it slo-mo so the audience doesn't miss any of it. I hate that logic. Slow motion ruins the pace of what should be an exciting scene. I have been watching a bunch of old kung-fu flicks from the 70's, mostly Shaw Brothers Venoms films; the fighting is fast paced, the faster the more exciting, the more awe inspiring. The use of slo-mo in the Shaw Brothers movies is minimal. Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, fought fast, very little slow-mo.
Avatar, the cartoon, did not make everything in slow motion. Remember the last episode, Ang vs. the fire lord, it was super fast paced, and every second was exciting.
This live action movie has no redeeming qualities at all. I could rant about a dozen different aspects of the film, the casting, the exposition, the lack of humor, but I chose to rant about the slow-mo this time.
Re: Avatar The Last Airbender
This movie was SO bad. I can't remember the last time I fell asleep at the movies (I would have left but my wife was still trying to sit through it). The casting, the acting, and most importantly, the script...it was so bad. I am officially no longer a fan of M. Night. I was a huge fan of his work, but the last couple of movies have been so disappointing.

In case you were thinking to rent the DVD...

With the benefit of over 40 years' Club Med experience behind it, our Resort proposes innovative clubs for children and teenagers:
● Dedicated areas specifically designed for their needs, and equipment designed with a view to comfort and safety
● G.O®s with a passion for their job(1)
● Numerous activities for all ages: sport, creative activities and games for the different age groups
● Opening hours that allow parents to make the most of their stay, and respect the children's desires and sleeping patterns
For information: the children's clubs are open all week, except Saturday.
(1)In France, G.O®s with a BAFA (State diploma for youth group leaders) or childcare qualification, depending on the age of the children; in other countries, an equivalent local diploma or relevant experience.
We've thought of everything possible to ensure your children have a unique, adventure-packed holiday, with discovery, sports and activities for each age group:
Teenagers can meet up and take part in the activities that interest them most, in the company of their G.O®:
The Juniors' Club Med® (from 11 to 17) is proposed at the following dates:
From 05/07/2015 to 28/08/2015
To enjoy a moment of total freedom, take advantage of the baby-sitting service, subject to availability. Information at Reception. For information: we provide a list of baby-sitting services on request. These outside service providers bear the entire responsibility for the services they provide; the Club Med provides the contact but has no resposibility for the service.
We've done everything in our power to ensure the comfort and well-being of parents and babies.
Personal welcome, baby-care material available in your room and/or in the baby feeding room (cot, changing mat, baby bath, high chair on request, bottle-warmer), sweet and savoury baby foods, Baby Zone equipped to prepare babies' meals, high chairs and/or booster cushions in the restaurant.
Spare pushchairs also available if required.
The playgrounds independent from the children's club facilities are open to young children accompanied by their parents.
Clean Art Planet raises children's awareness of the environment. This original activity focuses on the objects that find their way into the sea and are then rejected by the waves: plastic bags, bottles, flip flops, and so on are used in a series of workshops that focus on art and colour, putting emotion in the limelight rather than right and wrong!
Once the objects have been collected from the beaches by adults, sorted according to object and colour and washed, the Mini Club Med® can get on with the creative side of the activity, during which the children invent objects and stories, do photography, create large-scale works of art and put on exhibitions.
The activity is run by G.O®s.
Access conditions :
Minimum age : 4 year(s)
Maximum age : 10 year(s)

The const keyword will not allow anything that may have to be "processed":
$color = "red";
const RED = "This is the color $color"; //Doesn't work
define(strtoupper($color), "This is the color $color") // Works fine
You can define a constant by using the define()-function or by using the const keyword outside a class definition as of PHP 5.3.0. Once a constant is defined, it can never be changed or undefined.
Only scalar data (boolean, integer, float and string) can be contained in constants prior to PHP 5.6. From PHP 5.6 onwards, it is possible to define a constant as a scalar expression, and it is also possible to define an array constant. It is possible to define constants as a resource, but it should be avoided, as it can cause unexpected results.
You can get the value of a constant by simply specifying its name. Unlike with variables, you should not prepend a constant with a $. You can also use the function constant() to read a constant's value if you wish to obtain the constant's name dynamically. Use get_defined_constants() to get a list of all defined constants.
Notă: Constants and (global) variables are in a different namespace. This implies that for example
TRUEand $TRUE are generally different.
If you use an undefined constant, PHP assumes that you mean the name of the constant itself, just as if you called it as a string (CONSTANT vs "CONSTANT"). An error of level E_NOTICE will be issued when this happens. See also the manual entry on why $foo[bar] is wrong (unless you first define() bar as a constant). If you simply want to check if a constant is set, use the defined() function.
These are the differences between constants and variables:
Example #1 Defining Constants
define("CONSTANT", "Hello world.");
echo CONSTANT; // outputs "Hello world."
echo Constant; // outputs "Constant" and issues a notice.
Example #2 Defining Constants using the const keyword
// Works as of PHP 5.3.0
const CONSTANT = 'Hello World';
echo CONSTANT;
// Works as of PHP 5.6.0
const ANOTHER_CONST = CONSTANT.'; Goodbye World';
echo ANOTHER_CONST;
const ANIMALS = array('dog', 'cat', 'bird');
echo ANIMALS[1]; // outputs "cat"
// Works as of PHP 7
define('ANIMALS', array(
echo ANIMALS[1]; // outputs "cat"
As opposed to defining constants using define(), constants defined using the const keyword must be declared at the top-level scope because they are defined at compile-time. This means that they cannot be declared inside functions, loops, if statements or try/ catch blocks.
See also Class Constants.
The const keyword will not allow anything that may have to be "processed":
$color = "red";
const RED = "This is the color $color"; //Doesn't work
define(strtoupper($color), "This is the color $color") // Works fine
Don't let the comparison between const (in the global context) and define() confuse you: while define() allows expressions as the value, const does not. In that sense it behaves exactly as const (in class context) does.
// this works
* Path to the root of the application
define("PATH_ROOT", dirname(__FILE__));
// this does not
* Path to configuration files
const PATH_CONFIG = PATH_ROOT . "/config";
// this does
* Path to configuration files - DEPRECATED, use PATH_CONFIG
const PATH_CONF = PATH_CONFIG;
While most constants are only defined in one namespace, the case-insensitive true, false, and null constants are defined in ALL namespaces. So, this is not valid:
<?php namespace false;
const ENT_QUOTES = 'My value';
echo ENT_QUOTES;//Outputs as expected: 'My value'
const FALSE = 'Odd, eh?';//FATAL ERROR! ?>
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare constant 'FALSE' in /Volumes/WebServer/0gb.us/test.php on line 5
Actually, there is a way, to (re)declare FALSE (also: False, false, TRUE, NULL, etc.) constant, even if it is already declared:
var_dump(constant('I_DONT_EXIST')); // warning "Couldn't find constant I_DONT_EXIST"
var_dump(constant('FALSE')); //no warning, output: bool(false)
define('FALSE', TRUE);
var_dump(constant('FALSE')); //output: bool(true)
// but...
var_dump(constant('false')); // output: bool(false)
var_dump(FALSE); // output: bool(false);
Constant names shouldn't include operators. Otherwise php doesn't take them as part of the constant name and tries to evaluate them:
define("SALARY-WORK",0.02); // set the proportion
$salary=SALARY-WORK*$work; // tries to subtract WORK times $work from SALARY

Mr. Scruff is the recording name of Andy Carthy (born in 10 February 1972 in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England), a British DJ and artist. He lives in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and studied fine art at the Psalter Lane campus of Sheffield Hallam University. Before he could make a living from his music alone, he worked as a shelf-stacker in the Burton Road branch of Kwik Save. His DJ name was inspired by his scruffy facial hair, as well as his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, at first in and around Manchester then nationwide. He is known for DJing in marathon sets (often exceeding six hours), his eclectic musical taste, his love of a "nice cup of tea" and the quirky home-produced visuals and animations associated with his music. In an interview he said: "Itâ[][]s about putting a lot of effort in and paying attention to detail. I get annoyed if I donâ[][]t take risks. Iâ[][]m very hard on myself."

The County offers two dental plans to meet your dental needs:
The dental insurance is a pre-tax plan; elections are irrevocable for the plan year and cannot be changed unless the change is due to a relevant qualifying event.
Dental DHMO plans are like health HMOs. All services must be obtained from a participating dentist or specialist. No referral is needed for specialty services. Members are required to select a Primary Care Dentist (PCD)/Facility. Each family member can select a different PCD/Facility. PCD's can be changed on a monthly basis; however, the change must be made by the 15th of the month to be effective the first of the following month. Dental services are based on a Discounted Fee Schedule (see complete schedule in Provider booklet). The Discounted Fee Schedule applies to services provided by your primary dentist and specialists. Note: not all ADA (American Dental Association) codes are covered under the DHMO plan. Services received for ADA codes not covered under the Discounted Fee Schedule are provided at a 25 percent discount. This plan does not have a "Missing Tooth" exclusion. See Provider material for more details.
How to use this plan:
When making your dental appointment, verify that your dentist is participating and that you, or your dependent, are assigned to their office. When visiting your participating DHMO dentist give them your ID card to identify yourself as a "Humana/CompBenefits" dental member. You will be responsible for the copay for the service(s) you receive. Services for ADA codes not shown on your benefit schedule will be charged to you at the dentist's Usual and Customary rate less a 25 percent discount. To find participating dentists in your area, go to www.compbenefits.com/custom/broward and select CS150P Providers or log into your secure account at www.mycompbenefits.com.
Website services include:
The High PPO Plan dental network has an extensive nationwide dental network with numerous dentists, including Specialists. This plan also includes an out-of-network benefit and reimburses at one of the highest usual and customary percentiles, which means less out-of-pocket cost to you. If you utilize a "participating" network dentist your savings are even greater because the participating network dentist must charge a negotiated contract rate.
The annual maximum benefit is: $1,500 per person in-network and $1,000 per person out-of-network. There is a $50 annual deductible (waived on Preventive) per person, maximum three family members, which satisfies both your in-network and out-of-network deductible. If you reach your annual maximum, you will also be eligible to receive additional services at discounted rates.
The High PPO plan offers a unique feature that allows members to carry over some of their benefit into the next plan year based on plan usage:
If both 1 and 2 are met, $250 carries over and is added to the next year's maximum. The maximum carryover that can accumulate is $1,000. As an added benefit, if you meet 1 and 2, and if you receive services from a Participating Dentist during the year, you will receive an additional $100 for a total carry over for the year of $350. Note: if you do not submit a dental claim during a benefit year, the accumulated carry over amount will be lost. See Provider's material for more information.
Orthodontic coverage is provided at 50 percent up to a maximum plan limit of $1,000 per lifetime. Orthodontia claims are paid differently than regular dental claims in that they are paid/reimbursed on a quarterly basis up to a maximum of a 24-month period with the first payment starting around the third month of treatment.
Currently enrolled in the High PPO plan
If you have a tooth extracted while covered under High PPO dental plan, replacement must occur within six (6) months from the date of the extraction.
New enrollment in the High PPO dental plan
Any tooth extracted before becoming covered under the High PPO dental plan is not eligible for reimbursement to replace the tooth.
See Provider's material for more information on policy exclusions and limitations.
When visiting your dentist, (in-network or out-of-network), give them your ID card to identify yourself as a "Standard/Ameritas" PPO dental member. A "participating" network dentist will bill the dental provider for reimbursement up to their negotiated contract rate; the dentist will then bill the difference to you. (Most out-of-network dentists will also bill your dental provider, but you must request this service; otherwise you pay the bill and the dental provider reimburses you the allowable amount based on your plan when you submit the claim). To find participating dentists/specialists in your area for the High PPO dental Plan, visit: www.standard.com/services/ppo_providers or log onto your secure account at www.standard.com/services.

Missing Tooth Exclusion
Carefully review the dental plan benefit charts in each of the dental carrier's enrollment packets (DHMO CS150P, and High PPO Plan). You are encouraged to read the information provided by each carrier, as plan selection is irrevocable and cannot be changed after election. If you have questions, please call the carrier's Customer Service number located on the inside cover of this book.
Be an educated consumer! Ask your dentist to file a pre-treatment estimate with your insurance carrier for services expected to be more than $200. When the pre-treatment estimate is processed prior to services being rendered, both the member and the provider receive a copy indicating to both parties the exact amount of benefits payable to the dentist and the exact amount the member will have to pay out-of-pocket.
NOTE: Pediatric dentists are considered specialists under the Standard High PPO plans and, in most cases, they will charge specialists fees for all services.

Not the greatest ankle support. But for those of you who want a quick, easy, durable and not to mention supportive ankle strap this is it. I've tried some ankle braces before, some where too bulky or too thin without providing support. This strap provides all of the elements that I was looking for in an ankle strap. It is lightweight, not too bulky, supportive and really easy to wear and take off. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that it is a little overpriced. Paying $60 for a pair sounds a little pricey. I think $20 each for these straps sounds more reasonable. ... read more
Breathability: 8.5/10 The breathability of this ankle wrap really surprised me. Most ankle braces make my ankle sweat and hot, but with the adiZero construction it made my ankle cooler. And the coolness leading to better performance on the court. Ankle Support: 9.5/10 These ankle brace's ankle support are outstanding. Not just some fabric that you throw together and call a ankle brace, but this brace is built tough. A hard shell on the outside bone of your ankle prevents any hyperextension. I would say this ankle support is more of a preventer that a healing brace. Fit: 8/10 The fit of this ankle wrap, to me, was a little more on the tighter side. I wear a size 10.5 and thought I would get a size M brace, that might be my mistake. But the tightness turned out to my advantage a bit. Material: 8.5/10 The adiZero material is great, one of my all time favorites of adidas shoes. The brace feels like it would stand up to a lot of abuse. However, once worn a lot, it could develop visible fold creases which might not look that attractive. Longevity: 8.5/10 This brace would definitely last me a long time build on it's construction. adidas products have always been a first for me. Hope this review helped some of you! ... read more
When I hurt my ankle playing in the Kobe's, my peers and my coach said that it would be best that I get an ankle brace until I get better. Naturally, I got the ones that D.rose wears because he is my favorite player and these are the ones he wears. But I still had my doubts because I thought they would be uncomfortable, limit my mobility, or take away from my game. And when I played in them, I saw that I was wrong. They were super comfortable, didn't take away from my mobility or my vertical, and kept my ankles protected. I was very satisfied with them, so much that I will still wear them if my ankle is just bothering me. Great ankle braces. At first I wondered why they were priced so high. 60 dollars for both??? But now I understand. I feel like i payed for quality. ... read more
This is awesome. I got it yesterday at an Adidas store and it is perfect size. There is no need to buy a size smaller or bigger. Speedwraps fit the size of your shoes. It really does prevent your ankles from rolling and keep them protected. This is only $30 and is cheap compared to other ankle braces. It is also super light. Best Adidas accessory ever and I seriously recommend it to all of you guys looking for ankle braces. ... read more
I saw a web interview that Derrick Rose did and he spoke about how much that he loved the Adizero Speedwrap Ankle Brace and since I already bought the Adizero shoe, I figured I'd try it out. I had a grade 2 ankle sprain about 5 months ago and haven't been able to explode as well as I could prior to my injury. This ankle brace helped a lot and now I can't imagine playing ball without it ... read more
Love these!! They are extremely light and not so bulky opposed the first edition of the SpeedWraps, which I purchased also. Not only does these give great support, but your much more mobile and can slash to the court much quicker and feel confident you not going to sprain your ankle. They fit great with the Adizero DRose shoes as well. Must have!! ... read more
I've had to wear ankle braces or tap for almost 8 years now, so i know my way around braces. in terms of comfort speed and visual aesthetic these braces are the top of crop. Ive been taped ive worn, elastic support and light weight lace ups and light weight figure eight wraps, but in my experience these are the best. The fit is exceptional and it makes me feel secure and confident in my abilities, basketball is 90% confidence anyway, like most things its a mental game ... read more
Bought these in conjunction with the right foot one. As it says on the back of the ankle brace, adidas adiZero Speedwrap, Super light weight ankle protection. Good durability. Be aware though, that the near bottom part of the hard plate-protected side might crease a little, but does not affect performance. Good lockdown, secure feel in the shoe. Recommended for all players who need a good, light ankle brace. ... read more
Used these the other day in a game and worked really well. Slim enough to not make your cleats feel too small, you can also feel a lot of support when you plant your foot. I wish the velcro strap on top wasn't so thick... Im sure it looks good with some high tops. It would be nice if they made one specifically to go with soccer cleats, or better yet built into the cleats. My favorite part is the spacing in front of the ankle by the laces, most braces always pinch there. Also wanted to note they run small. Over all great...any one who has rolled their ankle and wants to play to be able to play another game should get these! ... read more
I've used many ankle braces over the years, mostly the lace up kind. These adiZero speedwraps are great! I use them with the D Rose shoes and combined they feel lighter than my last pair of adidas shoes!! They fit VERY snug, almost too snug. I wear 12's and the Larges barely fit! I remember wearing the lace up kind and I always had a hard time fitting them inside whatever shoe I had. Don't have that problem with these. They fit tight...with the hard side being the outside of your foot, the inside soft. The adjustable velcro strap is nice. I've played in them only once (first time, post surgery), it felt great! Forgot I was wearing them. It didn't feel like I had braces on AND the shoes. It felt like I had one piece on either foot. I had surgery on both of my achilles just over a year ago...I was worried these might rub the back of my ankles, but they didn't. If you've been thinking about getting them...get them. They are extremely light...and as we all know..lighter makes you faster and......FAST DON'T LIE!! lol I'll be putting the same review for both sides, left, right. ... read more
The fit is great. In the past I have had trouble finding a comfortable ankle brace that fits well into football cleats, as well as high top basketball shoes. These ankle braces do both and give me the support I feel I need, yet flexible for movement in all my sports. On a funny note, they can be removed quickly. Just the other day at football practice, a bee flew on my leg, crawled under my ankle brace and stung me. I was able to get the brace off at record speed. :) I highly recommend Adizero speed wrap brace! ... read more
I BALL. I ball HARD. I've always loved wearing ankle braces. When I first seen D Rose(my favorite player) playing in the Adidas Adizero Speedwrap, I knew I had to have'em. Not only do they protect you from rolling your ankle but they're a HUGE "fashion statement". I like to think of these speedwraps as a bullet proof vest for your ankle lol. ... read more
I wear them on the court when hooping, and on the pitch for indoor soccer (both full of hard cuts and stopping on a dime). Even with a light wrap on my right ankle, the Speedwraps didn't make anything too bulky or restrictive with a sock over them. Of course this won't replace a full on brace, but it is great to have the reinforcement in a lightweight package, worth the price. ... read more
Ankle rolls and injuries are so frequent in sports like basketball. An injury to your ankle can sideline you from the game for 2 weeks or a month if its real bad. These Ankle wraps not only prevents most injuries from happening to the ankle, they are comfortable and give you the confidence you need to do things u did not want to try because of the probability of injury. They are light, yet sturdy, and provide the security needed to keep performing.Great product ... read more
Having been around the block a few times, you feel the old injuries. I had tried the ankle braces from the big discount chain. While the support was adequate, the comfort left very much to be desired. I have always liked the quality of the adidas brand so I tried the ankle brace. I was not disappointed. The support and comfort are superior to the brand I previously tried. The materials are comfortable and it fits well. It provides that same stirrup support that you get when taping the ankle. The adjustable strap makes putting it on and removing fairly easy. I feel confident to walk the mall or go dancing again! ... read more

Kaos Williams sat casually on the Quince Orchard High School grass, chatting with a few teammates with his gray hoodie pulled over his head. When the student directing the high jump called his name, he stripped off the sweatshirt and his baggy shorts to ensure no extra clothing clipped the bar, bounced a few times and made his approach, floating well over the 6-foot-0 height.
"He makes it look so easy," muttered a parent onlooker at Saturday's Quince Orchard Cougar Relays.
Really, that parent had no idea how just easy the event has come for the Clarksburg senior, who was competing in his second ever track meet. Williams would eventually go on to edge Quince Orchard's Jack O'Keefe for first place while teammate and good friend Matthew Adedeji, who missed a 6-foot clearance by no more than a fingernail, rooted from just beyond.
"I mean, I just don't think too much," Williams said. "I just try to go, get to my goal, and then keep going from there."
Quince Orchard's boys won the team title with 66 points while Middletown won the girls side (56).
A basketball player over winter, jumping is nothing new to Williams. After the hoops season came to a close, Adedeji cajoled his teammate into trying out the high jump and, more out of boredom than anything, Williams complied.
"My younger teammates helped me learn the form and stuff," he said. "I already knew I had the jumping ability, but the only thing was my form and they kind of helped me learn my form and everything."
While Williams was making a 6-foot-2 clearance look as nonchalant as a warm-up layup line, Gwen Shaw and the Thomas S. Wootton 800-meter relay team were making it as difficult as possible on their Bowie counterparts.
Bowie's Taylor Williams took the baton on the final leg with a seemingly insurmountable lead and, making the turn into the final stretch, appeared as if the meet record — set last year by Northwest — would be the only competition to be had. But Shaw, one of the top hurdlers and sprinters in the state who, fittingly enough, was wearing a Flash sweatshirt when not racing, charged around the corner, eating up enormous swaths of track while Williams labored home.
Shaw's kick in the final 100 meters had more than a handful of boys wondering aloud if she could beat their teammates, but the Bulldogs — comprised of Lexus Ramsey, Latrease Magwood, Jazmine Wiggs and Williams — held on for far and away the most thrilling finish of the day, which came down to less than a tenth of a second combined between Wootton, Bowie and South Hagerstown.
"We — our four-by-two — we hold ourselves to high standards," Magwood said.
Added Ramsey: "She got it, and it's OK even if she don't got it, it's good. I just do it for conditioning, and I'm tired."
Bowie was also a pretty heavy favorite to take home the 1,600-relay, seeded a full second better than Our Lady of Good Counsel, but it wound up being Middletown — comprised of Natalie Smith, Megan Kelly, Zoe Wolfe and Stephanie Bidle — that crossed first.
"This is the most competition we've had all year," Smith said. "We chased whoever was in front of us."
Wootton's Josh Trzeciak, the reigning outdoor Runner of the Year and defending Class 4A 800-meter champ, had a strong showing in his first meet of the season, beating Linganore's Patrick Duboyce and Good Counsel's Collin Crilly in the mile. He also made a strong case for an entry into the Penn Relays.
The other half of the two-headed Wootton hurdling monster, Sylvia Deppen, set a new top mark in the 300-hurdles, finishing in 44.4 seconds and lowering the previous season-best in Maryland, set by Frederick Douglass' Modesty Lorick, by more than a second.
Northwest's vaunted relays weren't quite as dominant as usual, winning just one, but in the relay they did win, they sizzled. The Jaguars flew for a 9 minute, 45.1 second performance in the 3,200-relay, beating second-place Middletown by 14 seconds and setting a new Maryland season best by seven seconds.
Clarksburg High jumpers Naja McAdam and Alexus Pyles continued their strong debuts to the outdoor season, each clearing 5-02, finishing second and third respectively, and helping the Coyotes to a second place finish.
Claudia Ababio appears to be picking up where Eleanor Roosevelt's Alexus Scott left off in challenging Bowie's Antonella Taylor. The duo competed in the discus and shot put with Ababio taking the shot and Taylor taking the discus, while the loser in each finished second. Ababio's throw of 42-04 in the shot put is the new No. 1 throw in Maryland.
The Linganore and Wootton boys 1,600 sprint medley relay teams closed the seven hour meet in speedy fashion, with the Lancers racing ahead for a 3:38.2 time and the Patriots finishing in 3:40.1. Both obliterated the previous top time in the state, which was set by Mt. Hebron at 3:43.52.

Freedom Flix
Terms of Engagement: More Constitution Less Government
Buy Terms of Engagement on Amazon now. The Constitution was designed to limit government power and protect individuals from the tyranny of majorities and interest-group politics. But those protections are meaningless without judges who are fully committed to enforcing them, and America's judges have largely abdicated that responsibility. All too often, instead of judging the constitutionality of government action, courts simply rationalize it, as the Supreme Court did in upholding the Affordable Care Act, which represented the largest—and most blatantly unconstitutional—expansion of federal power since the New Deal.
The problem lies not with the Constitution, but with courts' failure to properly enforce it. From the abandonment of federalism to open disregard for property rights and economic freedom, the Supreme Court consistently protects government prerogatives at the expense of liberty. The source of this error lies in the mistaken belief on both the left and the right that the leading constitutional value is majority rule and the chief judicial virtue is reflexive deference to other branches of government. This has resulted in a system where courts actually judge the constitutionality of government action in the handful of cases they happen to care about, while merely pretending to judge in others.
The result has been judicial abdication, removing courts from their essential role in the system of checks and balances so carefully crafted by our Founders. This book argues that principled judicial engagement—real judging in all cases with no exceptions—provides the path back to constitutionally limited government.Read more

Pendant Lighting
Today's unique pendants prove art isn't restricted to the walls.
Why We Love Pendants & Hanging Lights
Pendant lighting personalizes a space. Contemporary pendants give a room a unique sense of structure and substance, showing off funky, sometimes fascinatingly strange shapes. Setting a tone for the environment they're in, pendant lamps (whether contemporary or not) really create that sense of collected calm or artsy ambiance appropriate for the room. They also offer an alternative to table lamps and chandeliers, contributing illumination from a single source rather than many.
Where Pendant Lights Work Best
Since these hanging lamps offer mainly downward-focused lighting, they're great for dining room lighting and kitchen lighting when used over the dining table or for decorative kitchen island lighting. Suddenly the simple dining room or kitchen is a posh hangout for family and friends underneath a modern pendant light fixture. Living room lighting also benefits from hanging lights; the eye is naturally drawn to the pendant light's form, allowing guests to appreciate the room's scale and overall layout.
A Pendant Light for Every Style
This collection of pendant lights addresses a variety of interior design styles. From mid-century modern pendant lamps by Jonathan Adler and Scandinavian design classics from Louis Poulsen to more casual and transitional statements by Feiss Lighting, you are guaranteed to find the perfect pendant you need. And from mini pendants to large, eye-catching pendant lighting fixtures, there is a design to fit any type of space.
Other Great Options
LED pendant lights offer the same awesome style and sculptural presence with the added benefit of being environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Consider adding an LED pendant from LBL Lighting or Tech Lighting to make your space contemporary and efficient. Don't you love it when modern fashion and Mother Nature go hand in hand?
If you have any questions about the pendant lighting featured here or how to install a pendant light, please call our lighting experts at 877.445.4486.

The Avett Brothers are a folk rock band from Mount Pleasant, North Carolina. The band is made up of two brothers, Scott Avett and Seth Avett, who play the banjo and guitar respectively, and Bob Crawford who plays the stand-up bass. Joe Kwon, cello, and Jacob Edwards, drums, are touring members of the band, with Kwon featured on recordings from 2007's Emotionalism to present. Following on from Seth and Scott's former rock band Nemo, the Avett Brothers combine bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk, and ragtime to produce a sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones."

I couldn't be happier with this flat screen TV mounting hardware. I am very disappointed that it has been discontinued. Perhaps the powers that be will reconsider. I bought this for a client who had hired me to hang her TV on the wall in her new apartment. It is a 42" Sharp Aquos, and quite heavy. I was concerned that whatever fully articulated mount I purchased might not be strong enough. I was very pleased when I got it out of the box. Very heavy gauge, sturdy construction. The hardware was abundant, for all types of applications, packed in a row of individually sealed plastic compartments. The instructions were clear and logical. The TV is now hung, and I have no doubt that it will survive whatever comes, the worst of which are earthquakes here in California. Pros: Extremely heavy duty; lots of hardware, well organized; good instructions; amazingly low price Cons: None at all 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount VMSAB Written By Bear, Tucson, AZ on Sunday, September 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Top of the line product. Heavy gauge steel that can handle the weight (150 lbs.) of even larger LED TVs. I mounted it on a plaster over brick exterior wall and it looks beautiful and strong. The wall plate dimensions were ideal for the location of the 55" LED TV which partially sits in front of a living room window. I'm just glad Crutchfield still had this model in stock as it has been discontinued by Sanus, which is a shame. Pros: Beautifully well made with an excellent black powder coat finish. The gauge of the steel alone will put to rest any fear of the wall mount failing due to the weight of the TV. Cons: None other than the fact that it is no longer a current model. Sanus has adapted this model to extend the pivot arm from ~9" to ~24". Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount® VMSAB Written By Chris, Arlington, VA on Thursday, September 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This mount is extremely sturdy but outweighed my TV by several pounds. As a result I purchased the lighter Sanus VML50A-B1, which I am very happy with. I will use this mount for my heavier Panasonic Plasma, which will be relegated to the basement. Pros: Sturdy Cons: Very heavy! Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VMSAB Written By Mike M, Elk Grove Village, IL on Thursday, September 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a good, solid mount. Pros: Solid construction Cons: frame blocked access to some inputs on my TV, necessitating 90 degree adapters Was this review helpful? Yes No Vision Mount VMSAB TV Full Motion Wall Mount Written By SouthernYankee, Belfast, ME on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought to mount my 40" tv. I wanted a well made easy to install product with full motion capability. This product is well made. It weighs more than my tv. Installation was easy, you have to locate two studs in the wall. Because of where it attached to my tv some of the mounting flexibility was diminished (the mounting slide bar was restricted to just a few inches but it worked fine for me). I liked that all the assembly parts were nicely packaged and it was easy to determine which parts were applicable to my tv and installation. Installation instructions are a bit confusing because each step is in about 30 languages making the process more timely. Crutchfield got this to me in an unbelievable three or four days. Pros: This product is well made. It weighs more than my tv. Installation was easy, you have to locate two studs in the wall. I liked that all the assembly parts were nicely packaged and it was easy to determine which parts were applicable to my tv and installation. Cons: Installation instructions are a bit confusing because each step is in about 30 languages making the process more timely. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent product Written By LaurelB, Mesa, AZ on Thursday, August 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to install. instructions are clear. Mounted our 55" TV without difficulty. We wanted something to keep it close to the wall when retracted, but still offer adjustment for viewing angle. Interestingly, Crutchfield has a list of mounts that are compatible with different TVs and when we looked up our TV, this was NOT on the list. But the hole pattern matched our mounting hole pattern on our TV so we decided to take a chance. So glad we did. The mounts that they had listed all were $300 and up. I called customer service at Crutchfield, and they said the more pricey units would allow the TV to be pulled further from the wall and still be stable. We didn't need that kind of flexibility. This unit was better than anything we saw at our local electronic super store for a lower price. Pros: Price was good. Unit solid Cons: can't think of any! Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Quality Written By ChicC, Charlottesville, VA on Monday, July 08, 2013 I have purchased several Sanus products in the past and I like a lot. One thing I can caution people about when mounting. I was trying to center a TV above a doorway so logically I mounted the wall portion of the bracket dead center. The problem with this was this particular mount has an extender arm and when you push the TV back flat against the wall the TV is no longer centered. Pros: High quality parts. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount® VMSAB Written By Sean F, Kansas City, MO on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very heavy duty bracket. I was installing my TV inside a cabinet, but needed the TV to move out slightly so I could get behind it to attach to the bracket and to attach cables. This bracket worked perfectly. I used it on a 65" Samsung LED. Works for the 65" now, since the LED are much lighter and fall within the weight limit for the bracket. Pros: Very heavy duty and stable. Cons: I had to buy a few additional washers spacers to mount it correctly on my TV--not a big deal at all. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount® VMSAB Written By Bruce, S.E Mass on Saturday, March 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is a very study mount, However the mount does not come with the correct mounting screws to attach to the 40" Samsung TV Off to the hardware store to find some 8x20 mm bolts, also the mounting brackets are very close together on the tv so the cross bars stick way past the mount brackets. I think they could be smaller Pros: sturdy mount Cons: incorrect hardware to mount the Sanus 40" tv Was this review helpful? Yes No SANUS!! Written By B. G, Las Vegas, NV on Tuesday, March 05, 2013 Love this product for these reasons: *Price (love this especially) *Setup (had no problems setting up) *Durability (solid construction, holds my 50" sony just tight) *Functionality (many positions) Pros: Everything Cons: *none Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount® VMSAB Written By paul m, rhode island on Monday, January 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did a great deal of research for a wall mount for my 40 inch Samsung. I chose this one based on all the info that was available regarding this unit. I couldn't have chosen a better one. It's is great and the TV looks better on the wall. Wes did a great job in handling this order as I needed ASAP. Pros: Easy to install,sturdy and a great range of movement for the TV Cons: None very happy with mount Was this review helpful? Yes No Works well. Written By Jon, Rhode Island on Monday, December 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like it. It is a very stout steel mount and installs securely to the wall. I have no worries hanging my 47" TV on it. I really like the range of motion it gives the TV. You can slide it side to side, pivot it out from the wall, tilt it, up, down, whatever. So far I'm happy with it. Pros: Solid, easy to mount, large range of motion and adjustment. Cons: Nothing yet really. It is a little heavy? Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent TV wall mount Written By Brian K, Charlotte NC on Sunday, November 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent a lot of time reviewing all the many wall mounts available and choose the Sanus mount because of the view angle options. I spent a couple of days looking at the box before opening it for fear of the difficulties involved in mounting it to the wall. To my surprise, it was extremely easy and didn't take very long. I did have my 14 year old son help because one person is not adequate. Crutchfield thank you for another great deal Pros: Easy to install, looks great, Cons: Out of production so no no parts available if needed Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Mount Written By Alan, Waukesha, WI on Sunday, November 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great mount! Great quality and easy install at a great price. Many mounts are built cheap, but not this one. Pros: Good qulity. Very flexible. Cons: Sticks out a little more than preferred. Was this review helpful? Yes No great wall mount Written By Jon M, big lake, mn on Thursday, November 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this is a great TV wall mount. Very sturdy. You must stud-mount it. The directions are straight-forward and the kit comes with many different bolts and washers. I did have to go out and pick up a few more washers, but it costed me all of $2. The device connected very well to my Samsung LED TV, and it is very easy to connect to the wall. It also moves from side to side, giving you some flexibilty on placement. And it was a great deal! Plus, the free HDMI cable was awesome and is very long! Pros: easy assembly, sturdy construction, good manuverability, free HDMI cable with my purchase! Cons: unit is heavy (only because of its solid construction) and must be stud-mounted (a bit of a hassle, but necessary) Was this review helpful? Yes No NICE MUILTIE POSITION UNIT Written By RONG, BRUNSWICK OHIO on Thursday, October 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well built, had to exchange it once 2 of the adjusting screws were to tight. Broke off supplied wrench. Excellent movement directions. The bad is it is very heavy. Weights about 5 times more than my television. Is sturdy enough it could hold a small car on your wall. Defiantly not cheaply built. Pros: Many swing positions,very sturdy,mounts easily, includes all hardware for many types of televisions. Would buy the same one if I had choice Cons: On the heavy side most of the weight gets mounted to back of tv. Hard to pick up to attach to higher areas 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus Mount Written By Richard V, Pahrump, Nevada on Thursday, October 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We have a 64 inch opening for a 48 inch wide Samsung TV. Our Samus mount was a perfect fit for our opening. Why? Because of the 24 inch depth. This mount turns and extends from the wall as well as tilting. I have to say that Crutchfield had answers for all our questions so that we could put the right width TV into our special opening. Pros: Excellent Mount with wonderful features. Cons: In a tight area it is somewhat difficult to slip the support tubes into the mount with the Tv screen on the tubes. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus VisionMount® VMSAB Written By A.O., Las Cruces, NM on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The wallmount was exactly as described and set up was easy only because I'm competent. The instructions are all visual and not articulated so be careful and pay attention to the details. It was a good buy since I didn't have to pay for ground shipping at the time. Didn't give it 5 stars due to the inconvenience of having to go buy some 1/4 in. washers that the screws would fit through. Other than that, installation was easy. Pros: Easy set up, instructions include images true to scale of bolts and screws, very sturdy, multiple tv position settings w/o compromising reliability. In box supply of parts for flat back and obstructed back flatscreens. Cons: Instructions are all visual not articulated, washers included don't fit all screws that are included (seems to be common issue) 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus Vision Mount VMSAB Written By Mike, New York on Friday, September 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fits the tv great and not much work to assembel. Mounting on wall was easy. Pros: Like driffernt ways it can move fior viewing Cons: They should give a third set of screws. the ons that came were to long or to short. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not bad Written By Brandon, Lubbock, tx on Thursday, September 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Everything was good from being shipping promptly to price. FYI if you are buying an Led Samsung 40"-46" you have to use this type of mount. Because on the smaller mount the brackets hit the power chord in the back of the tv, so no power to tv. Pros: Price, shipping cost and speed, quality of product Cons: Didnt have the correct bolts to connect to a 40" LED Samsung tv, either they were to short or to long. Had to go to the hardware store for the middle size. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sanus TV Mount Written By Ryan, Cameron,WI on Monday, August 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a very nice mount for your flat screen television . Fairly easily to assemble and place onto the wall . Once it is in place and assembled it is a very sturdy and smooth moving mount when adjusting your televisions viewing angle. I strongly feel that the mounting fasteners that are supplied with the unit are very poor in quality . When a person is putting a very strong faith into the wall mount that it will not fail and risk the chance of damage to a very expensive television. Had to go out and purchase different higher quality wall mount lags and more washers . Pros: Very strong / sturdy connection , smooth operations , many adjustable tilt / swivel points for adjusting the ideal viewing angle. Cons: The wall mounting lags that were supplied with the kit are garbage. The hex head phosphate coated lags are far too small to securely grasp the sides of the wall mount plate and securely fasten the plate to the wall. Be prepared to go out and purchase your own. When mounting this set you will also need to have extra washers for properly mounting the television to the frame with machine bolts. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It allows you to easily tilt, swivel, and extend the TV from the wall without the use of tools. Construction: The wall-mount bracket is made from solid heavy-gauge steel and extruded aluminum, with a durable powder coated finish. Bolt Pattern: Each monitor bracket has multiple bolt holes and can accommodate vertical hole spacing (on the back of the TV) from 1" to 17.345". The monitor brackets can slide horizontally on the mounting tubes and the horizontal hole spacing on the back of the TV can range from 6.434" to 26.923". The VMSA comes with M4, M5, M6, and M8 size bolts to mount the brackets to your TV. VESA Mount: Given the mounting bracket's range of motion, it will accommodate the following VESA hole patterns in accordance with industry standards set by the Video Electronics Standards Association: 200mm x 100mm 200mm x 200mm 300mm x 200mm 300mm x 300mm 400mm x 200mm 400mm x 300mm 400mm x 400mm 600mm x 400mm Swivel: The articulated arm permits swiveling at two points and allows the TV to be extended up to 9.5" from the wall for maximum viewing angle. Depending on the size of the TV, it may swivel up to 30° left or right. Virtual Axis: Once mounted the Virtual Axis fingertip tilting technology provides smooth tilting with the touch of a finger, up to 5° up and up to 15° down. Roll: After the TV is mounted on the wall, the VMSA bracket allows turning it up to 6° clockwise or counterclockwise (if necessary) to correct for the wall plate not being perfectly horizontal. Wall Mounting: The bracket must be mounted to two wood wall studs at least 12" apart, or a brick, block, or concrete wall, using the supplied mounting hardware. Required tools: Phillips-head screwdriver, Allen wrench (included), 1/2" Nut driver, Drill, 3/16" drill bit or 1/2" masonry bit.

Hako Sushi or Hakozushi: A type of oshi sushi (pressed sushi) made using a wooden rectangular mold. It is the best-known style of pressed sushi, which originated in Osaka. Ric is pressed into the mold lightly, toppings are overlaid, and the "cake" is cut into squares or rectangles. See oshi sushi.
Hamachi: Hamachi, or young yellowtail, is a gleaming, unctuous, firm, pink-hued fish, one of the more flavorful. Often served chopped in a roll with with scallions (negi-hamachi). Hamachi is called by different names, depending on its maturity. Older hamachi is referred to as amberjack.
Hamachi-kama: Yellowtail collars, generally served broiled.
Hamagari: A type of Japanese clam, in season in March.
Hamagari-zushi: A trompe l'oeil style of sushi where egg crêpes are folded into quarters and stuffed with sushi rice and any variety of flavoring ingredients (sesame seeds, ikura, parsley, etc.) The finished product resembles a clam shell. Hamagari-zushi is related to chakin-zushi, where the omelette is wrapped in a bag shape and tied like a beggar's purse.
Hamo: Pike eel.
Hanakatsuo: Dried bonito, shaved or flaked.
Hand Roll: See temaki. Photo of handroll by Radu Razvan | Fotolia.
Harusame: Thin, transparent noodles made of bean gelatin.
Hashi: Chopsticks. Hashi is the Japanese word for bridge. While Chinese chopsticks are squared and the ends are blunt, Japanese chopsticks are round (like a pencil) and the ends taper to a point. One reason for this is the nature of the cuisine: much Chinese cuisine is cut-up and wok-based, while the Japanese eat a lot of whole fish, and the tapered ends facilitate the removal of bones. Chopsticks are the world's second-most-used method of bringing food to the mouth, after fingers. They were invented in China, where they have been traced back to the 3rd century B.C.E.
Hawara: Domestic mackerel (it tends to be less fishy than saba).
Hazushi: A variety of pressed sushi that is a specialty of Nara, the capital city of Nara Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan. It layers rice and toppings with plant leaves, such as persimmon leaves.
Hirame: Hirame is fluke, although it is often mistakenly translated as halibut (which is ohyo). While some people think that the thin, translucent piece of fluke, flecked with red, is one of the less expensive pieces of fish on the plate because it doesn't have a lot of flavor, it is actually an expensive fish. The rippled fluke fin, or engawa, is popular with sushi connoisseurs.
Hokkigai: Surf clam. Farmed in northern Japan and common to the arctic and the Northeast coast of the U.S. from Delaware to Maine, these sweet, attractive red and white clams appear frequently in sushi bars. Photo of surf clam at left by Maria Gritcai.
Horse Mackerel: See aji.
Hotate-gai: Scallops. The Spanish also serve scallops raw, but instead of with rice, they're marinated in citrus juice and called ceviche. Once you taste sweet, raw scallops, you may never cook them again!
Ika: Squid. Squid is one of the seafood items that is not served raw—it would be too chewy to be edible. It is blanched and scored before serving.
Ika-geso: Squid legs, or the tentacles. These are tender and delicious, very different in flavor and texture from the body of the squid. It is unusual to find them at American sushi bars.
Iki zukuri (or ikizukuri): Iki zukuri, or live fish sashimi, is exactly that: You are served a fish live from the tank. Often the fish is carved live and reassembled whole, from head to tail. In New York City, live fish and lobster are served this way, and live octopus and shrimp are also available. This is not limited to Japan and major world cities: We have seen a live lobster carved at a small Japanese restaurant in northern New Jersey.
