Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro (2005)
I seem to remember that when The Remains Of The Day came out, some critic or other remarked that it was nice to see a sensible novel, what with all this silly magic realism going around. I don't know why it was considered so remarkable that Kazuo Ishiguro was writing books without flying carpets in them; maybe it was simply because he was called Kazuo, and not Julian or Martin. It's the same sloppy thinking that gets him placed in the 'Asian Fiction' section of my local bookshop. Despite being born in Nagasaki, Ishiguro is very English, and his latest novel begins in that most English of settings, a public school. (Go here for an explanation of the perversely misleading British expression, if needs be.)
In fact, it doesn't quite begin there - the description of the school is framed as a flashback, so the immediate implication is that we're embarking on that current fave, the Friends Reunited narrative - see Jonathan Coe's The Closed Circle, the TV series "40", and back to Frederic Raphael's The Glittering Prizes - even, perhaps, to Brideshead Revisited. But pretty soon we realise this isn't Jennings or even Harry Potter. The children are known by forenames and initials - Kathy H., Tommy D. Shades of Josef K.? There are no teachers, just "guardians". Parents are never mentioned, and nobody seems to go home. And what are donors, and carers? And why do these kids seem to spend all their time doing art and PE?
There's a mystery underpinning the narrative, and Ishiguro lets it seep out almost casually. He's aided by the Bildungsroman structure; the narrator, Kathy, comes to realise her ultimate destiny with a realistically childlike sense of inevitability, the same way that the non-existence of Santa Claus comes as a gradual awareness, rather than a brutal shock. (Incidentally, readers of the US paperback edition will have had their sense of shock at plot developments tempered even further by the comically po-faced Library of Congress catalogue listing at the front, which treats works of fiction like junior high text books. Let's just say that The Wasp Factory would receive something like "1. Scotland--Fiction. 2. Setting fire to insects--Fiction. 3. Oh, by the way, the narrator's a girl, did I mention that?--Fiction.")
As the narrative develops, we realise that we're in the realms of Brave New World or Soylent Green, but the sheer acquiescence with which characters accept their cog-like roles makes matters even more chilling. The world he creates is so close to our own ("England, late 1990s", he says; Norfolk, Littlehampton, Oxfam shops, Walkmans), so distant from Huxley's glassy sci-fi.
Ishiguro doesn't do polemical messages, but there is clearly something here about the necessary sacrifice of individuals - "poor creatures", as one character puts it - for the collective good, and the moral quandaries that arise from that. But, most importantly is the disconcerting calm of his characters, and the acceptance of what the reader sees as weird, freakish, unreal. He's done what seemed highly unlikely in 1989, and crafted a very English fragment of magic realism.

MOSCOW, March 14 (Itar-Tass) — Chief of Air Force headquarters Maj-Gen Viktor Bondarev said the Ka-52 pilots had been trying to avoid the crash until the very end.
"The Air Force flight safety service is looking into the cause of the accident," Bondarev told reporters on Wednesday, "I can only say the pilots were trying to save their helicopter and their lives until the last moment."
"No cause can be ruled out at present, but my personal opinion it was something beyond the crew's capability," he added.
"Fortunately, the flight data recorder boxes are in very good condition," according to the military official.
The helicopter was on a scheduled training flight. Radio contact with the crew was lost at around 21:00, Moscow time, on Monday. It was found on Tuesday morning, 2 kilometers northwest from the village of Malaya Kisilenka, Tver region. Both pilots died in the crash.
The Ka-52 was assigned to the Torzhok-based combat use and crew retraining centre. It did not have ammunition on board, a Defence Ministry spokesman said.
Ka-52 /Alligator/ is a multi-role helicopter gunship, intended for aerial reconnaissance, target designation and coordination of helicopters' actions in battlefield.
Russia launched production of Ka-52 helicopters at the Progress plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in 2009. The first four Alligators were supplied to the Torzhok combat use and crew retraining centre in February 2011.
The 2012 state defence procurements envision the purchase of 30 Ka-52s. Ten Alligators have already been manufactured.
There have been no orders to ground this type of helicopters in connection with the accident, the Defence Ministry said.

Ah… Cinderella… A classic. Cinderella is one of those stories that just about every culture has a variation of and has been around for many years. While Cinderella was never my all-time favorite Disney princess, I always did enjoy the movie. Like Sleeping Beauty, I hadn't seen Cinderella in at least 5 years, so watching it again was certainly an experience.
First of all, all of Cinderella's friends are mice, birds, and farm animals. While I always accepted this, and I believe that many people accept this, because it is, after all, a classic, it's a tad strange. The girl loves to spend time with mice, even making clothing for them and singing to them. Now if I had a house full of rodents, I'd be a little spooked, but you know…it is a fairy tale.
Also, the fact that Cinderella is practically a slave in her own home is really very disturbing. While it is recognized that her life is terrible, the forced servitude thing really is unsettling. And not only is she a victim of excessive labor, but also of verbal abuse. I mean, that part where the stepsisters rip up her dress with the permission of the stepmother is just something else… It went from
…It was pretty bad. Aside from the negativity, the film has some truly satisfying moments.
- Can somebody explain to me why this shower looks so nice?
2. Amazing. And I love the song she sings in this scene ("Sing Sweet Nightingale").
3. Such a cute scene. Such a cute song. I take back what I said about having animal friends!
4. Bippity Boppity Boo!
5. You've got to admire the way she so seamlessly wins the prince over and sings that fabulous song ("So This is Love").
6. Putting a ring on it like nobody's business.
7. And of course, the classic.
Credits to buzzfeed.com for pointing me in the direction of some of these great gifs!
Writing those satisfying moments has made me enjoy this movie even more! I mean I can only think of one worthy response to Cinderella's ability to go from forced servitude to a princess within a matter of days:
And with that, I say: you need to see Cinderella. Even if you aren't a fan of the princess movies, it's just a classic (and it's kind of magical!).

Are you in need of some additional cash? Do you just need some breathing room to help? You should think about applying for cash advances if you are desperate for cash. Payday Loans Instant Approval No Brokers lending exists to get help folks who just need a little more time with their money. Keep reading to find out more.
When you get your first payday loan, ask for a discount. Most payday loan offices offer a fee or rate discount for first-time borrowers. If the place you want to borrow from does not offer a discount, call around. If you find a discount elsewhere, the loan place, you want to visit will probably match it to get your business.
It is extremely important that you fill out your payday loan application truthfully. You may be tempted for one reason or another, but it's illegal and could get you into trouble.
Shop around for the best interest rate. Not only are there physical locations for lending, many are available online. Each company wants your business and better terms may be available. Many first time borrowers receive substantial discounts on their loans. Look around for all of the options before going with a lender.
Take the time to look for the most suitable interest rate. Besides local lenders operating out of traditional offices, you can secure a payday loan on the Internet, too. These places all want to get your business based on prices. There are also lenders who give new borrowers a price reduction. Before you decide to go with a lender, look at all the different ones available.
A better alternative to a payday loan is to start your own emergency savings account. Put in a little money from each paycheck until you have a good amount, such as 0.00 or so. Instead of building up the high-interest fees that a payday loan can incur, you can have your own payday loan right at your bank. If you need to use the money, begin saving again right away in case you need emergency funds in the future.
Do not make your payday loan payments late. They will report your delinquencies to the credit bureau. This will negatively impact your credit score and make it even more difficult to take out traditional loans. If there is any doubt that you can repay it when it is due, do not borrow it. Find another method to get the money you need.
Realize that you will need a valid work history to secure a payday loan. Three months of stable work is what many lenders expect before they give you a loan. You will have to give proof of your income when you apply for the loan.
Check your credit history before you look for a payday loan. Consumers with a healthy credit history will be able to get more favorable interest rates and terms of repayment. If your credit history is in poor shape, you can expect to pay interest rates that are higher, and you may not be eligible for a longer loan term.
Ensure you have all of your paper work when you are applying at a payday loan office. You will need to have identification proving that you are of legal age and also you will need a paystub or other income verification to get a payday loan.
Since you are well informed, you should have a better idea about whether, or not you are going to get a Payday Loans Instant Approval No Brokers. Use what you learned today. Make the decision that is going to benefit you the best. Hopefully, you understand what comes with getting a payday loan. Make moves based upon your needs.

Popularity of Franchising Continues to Grow
The last 12 months has seen particularly strong growth for the Franchise sector, with the popularity of franchises increasing across sectors and investment brackets.
Data from the UK Franchise Directory's own website analytics indicates that more people than ever before are looking to get into franchising.
This business model can be a great way for prospective franchise owners to take that all important next step in their Career, becoming their own boss through the framework and support of an already well established brand.
There has been a notable increase in the number of people searching for franchising roles over the past 6 months, with the total number of visits to the UKFD website growing from 11,815 in May to 19,153 in September, an increase of 62.1%. During this period the number of visitors also grew by 64.1%, with the number of pageviews up 63.4%. Social Media interactions on sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were also said to have increased significantly.
Professor Roy Seaman, founder and Managing Director of Franchise Development Services and publisher of The UK Franchise Directory, said that this spells good news for the Franchising industry at large: "The UK Franchise Directory has been established in some form for more than 30 years. It has longsince provided a barometer for the volume of franchise opportunities on the market across different sectors, as well as the level of interest from potential new franchise owners. The last 12 months has seen strong growth throughout the Franchise sector more generally. Such a steep rise in visits to the UKFD website implies a renewed interest in franchising brands amongst potential franchise owners."
For those just getting started in their search for the perfect Franchise Career we offer a whole host of case studies and introductory articles to help you get started in franchising and make your own observations about this growing sector.

Syrian SANA News Agency website under attack
Syrian SANA News Agency website is under fierce attack since 7.14.2012
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) website on Saturday was attacked by foreign sides which try to prevent the Syrian national media from conveying the truth of events and unmasking the conspiracy hatched against Syria. After the failure of several attempts to hack the website and publish fabricated news on it, foreign sides targeted the website with a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack).
In the same context, anonymous sides stole SANA logo from the website and designed an advertisement in English and Arabic that includes provocative calls and distributed it through email.
SANA website is a multi-lingual website. It publishes news and articles in seven languages: English, French, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic.

This Bolex SBM I haven't shot with yet... it looks as though the shutter sticks a little. When I look into the front without a lens when the camera is running, when it stops the shutter kind of stays midway down in the frame at an angle. Is this a sign that I might need a lube job. Hopefully nothing serious? The camera has barely been used, the spring motor seems strong. They used it a few times with a bolex motor. Inside looks immaculate.
Also, could I be crazy but it looks like some moisture forms on the glass in front after I run it for a while. Looks like I breathed on one little spot at the right side, (my left)... but I swear I didn't! And always that little spot. What's that about?
Also, is a lube job worth paying $300 dollars for or is it something that can be easily done, if one is careful? What could go wrong?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

SOUND VITAMINSProject ID: ECON-2000-3302
Funded under:
Sound Vitamins for the Aged
Project details
Total cost:Not available
EU contribution:Not available
Coordinated in:United Kingdom
Topic(s):PA200400-2 - Facilitating linguistic and cultural customisation of digital products and services
Funding scheme:ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures
Academic research has shown that effects of senescence - the process of becoming old - can be reduced by stimulation from carers.
Audio Riders Oy of Finland has recently introduced a system for delivering this type of environmental enrichment cost effectively through 6 channels of auditory stimulus to the elderly. Using global digital networks, these channels contain quizzes, stories, spiritual discussions, music, news, and instructions for gentle physical exercise. The channels are designed to improve physical mobility, connectedness with the outside world, and connectedness with friends and relatives.
The principal objective of SOUND VITAMINS is to run a field trial of Audio Riders' new audio stimulation system in the UK and Finland, following appropriate linguistic customisation, with a view to full commercial exploitation in the EU and world-wide. The field trial will take place in care homes run by Minion Hoitolat (Finland) and Anchor Trust (United Kingdom).
The longer-term aim of SOUND VITAMINS is to increase the availability of stimulation for the elderly via global networks. This will improve the cost-effectiveness of the service, which currently is only available through one-to-one care.
Results: The major advantage of the Audio Riders system over other existing systems is its cost-effectiveness and promotion of interaction amongst users. In order to market such a system however the SOUND VITAMINS project will carry out field trials with the aim of answering two fundamental questions: how much can such a system help elderly people?
- how can the system be adapted to different cultural groups, each with their own interests and preferences?
The field trials aim to quantify and demonstrate the benefits of the Audio Riders system to the elderly, in several different languages including English, Finnish, Swedish and Hindi. This is hoped to give them an entry into the growing elderly care market.

Terrible quality. No content. This is an ad for the magazine.

I would suggest NOT getting this book even if it were free. First, the production and narration sounded like my Uncle Tony recording on a tape cassette recorder in his bathroom. Second, the content was excerpts from articles where the background and intro to the article were read, but the meat and the points were left out...an exercise for the listener after hearing the initial bits.
Maybe there were some pearls of wisdom from an individual whom I consider to be both philosophical and practical - someone who should be required reading for anyone working at a company on how to treat others and themselves. However, even that premise was not enough for me to waste any more time than I already had listening to this book.
You have been warned.

This is probably one of the nicest weekends we've had in the Crane Hill/Logan area, and we aren't getting to spend any time at the lake. BOO! It's just a crazy, busy weekend, though! Our varsity baseball team is playing this afternoon in a state playoff game, and since I have several baseball players, I'm going to that at 4:00. Then the soccer team is playing Sylacauga--their biggest rival--about 7:30, and I'm going to that. Tomorrow, Jessi is having a jewelry party at 2:00. Yep, I'm going to that. And then tomorrow night is prom, and I really want to go to that. Since I have a senior advisement and I teach primarily seniors, I would love to see them all dressed up, and so many of them have asked if I was going to "hang out" with them at prom. BUT I also have to find time to grade rough drafts of the research papers because I HAVE to return them on Monday so they can have their final drafts turned in on Friday. Ahhh--the life of a teacher. I need a clone! :)
I won't get to go to the lake next weekend either because I'll be in Fort Walton Beach with the Junior Civitan club at district convention. After that, we'll probably go to the lake every weekend. The only thing to interfere with that is graduation.
Once graduation is over, the pups and I will pretty much move to the lake. I know that I'll spend some time in Dadeville. I'll have to be here for Bunco nights. I can't miss spending time with the Bunco Babes. :) And I really can't leave John for THAT long! I'd go nuts, and the pups would, too. He has enough vacation time built up that I'm sure he'll take some LONG weekends.
I'm just ready to have some real downtime with nothing to do. I know I complain sometimes about the amount of stuff to grade and students, but I wouldn't change my career for anything else out there. I love my summers WAY too much.

One of my all-time favorite Mother Teresa quotes is:
"I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look only at the individual. I can only love one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one. You get closer to Christ by coming closer to each other. As Jesus said, 'Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.' So you begin...I begin. I picked up one person - maybe if I didn't pick up that one person I wouldn't have picked up the others. The whole work is only a drop in the ocean. But if we don't put the drop in, the ocean would be one drop less. Same thing for you. Same thing in the church where you go. Just begin... one, one, one."
I have used portions of this quote twice in formal ways to thank people for their presence in my life. The first time I spoke to a group of over 300 Catholic campus ministers at their national convention and told them that I was there to represent just one of the college students whose lives they touched. Then, I wrote an article thanking our homeschooling group for taking the time to make my family feel so welcome, trying to demonstrate that our family is just one of the many families embraced by the community.
This weekend, however, the Lord brought this quote to my mind when I was struggling. I have been dwelling on how my prayers and sacrifices on behalf of others could be worth anything. I thought about how weak and unimportant I am and how much conversion the world needs. In my journal I wrote, "My efforts are nothing."
The Lord then reminded me of the single drop in the ocean and how important that drop is, that He holds that drop in existence for a singular purpose. For the first time, I was the person adding a drop to the ocean. I felt like satan was trying to make me feel like my efforts are useless, so that I would stop trying. He wanted to discourage me from continuing my feeble efforts to pray and sacrifice for sinners and for priests. The focus on my failings was taking me away from the tiny acts of faith I was able to muster but which had infinite value.
In fact, as I prayed, I could see how the ocean could be, in fact, the ocean of Christ's blood shed for the redemption of all and that indeed my drop of "blood" was powerless without being united to that of Christ. Truly, the Lord does not need my offerings to save souls, but if I unite my meager sacrifices to His Ultimate Sacrifice on the Cross, then He will be able to heal more people because He is God.
If you think that the prayers and sacrifices you offer as a mother in the hidden monastery of your home are not worth enough to save the world, think again. Each one is a single drop added to the vast ocean of God's mercy. Each diaper changed, each hour of fasting, each biting of the tongue - these do have worth when offered to the Lord.
Thank you, Jesus, for reminding me of how much you love me and value me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

Thought I'd post some cool (Follow-Up) Interviews I stumbled upon in my Web-Surfing Travels.
First up, is an interview CuDi did with MTVNews. This is the full-length interview; They've been chopping it up into smaller pieces. Mr. Rager talks about a variety of topics, including: working with Kanye, Mary J Blige and Cage, "CHRISTIAN DIOR DENIM FLOW," his new "Rock" direction, being over rapping, fans, and * upcoming projects with Dot Da Genius (WiZard) and Chip Tha Ripper (Almighty GloryUS).

And secondly, XLR8R TV an interview with El Guincho. XLR8R posted it along with their recent "Flying Solo: Barcelona's El Guincho Creates a Greatest Hits Collection for an Imaginary Genre" feature/interview. The video-interview is definitely a tad bit dated (2008?), but is still very insightful. Pablo talks about growing up in the Canary Islands, some of his influences/musical tastes, his recording process, early CD-R's, sampling, touring, and Barcelona/Madrid's music scene(s).
[The song playing throughout the video is "Palmitos Park" from Alegranza!]
- El Guincho's Pop Negro is out now, and KiD CuDi's Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager is out Nov. 9.

Endless Legend: On Tropes With a Twist and Looking Good
Endless Legend: On Tropes With a Twist and Looking Good
We talk to Amplitude Studios' Narrative Director and Lead Writer Jeff Spock about the follow-up to the developer's 4x space opera Endless Space.
Looks great.
I loved Endless Space, just picked it up, started playing without ever reading up on anything beforehand and easily got into it. In fact it was so addicting that I almost spent 20 hours going at it nonstop the first time I opened it up, few games have had that effect on me.
Hope they nail it again with this project!
I loved Endless Space. It was just fun. It had it's shortcomings, but it was a great game. I'm surprised there is no mention of Dungeon of the Endless. Great game, takes place in the Endless Space universe and is very good as well.
So... I was thinking "Man, these Vaulters look an awful lot like WH40K Space Marines..." And then I looked at their thing and sure enough, their unit is a "Marine".
Yep, that's what happened.
I actually love it to pieces though. So excited for this game. Wanna play as fantasy space marines...
Endless Space has the best UI I've ever found in a 4X game and I've played a lot. I'm praying Endless Legend is every bit as good in the game department as Space is, as well as looking as pretty as Space. (That was way too many "as" for one sentence wasn't it?) Though I'm also hoping that this time around the AI is less prone to declaring war on you just because they're inferior to you, especially early game.
With regards to ship design in Endless Space though, I do find it strange he mentions he wanted every ship to feel different, but the Vaulter Faction you unlock in Endless Space from supporting Endless Legend have ships that look almost identical to the Empire. Just felt like a bit of a waste when you have ships as striking as the Amoeba, Sophon and Sower ships they went with reskinned humans. This only really rankles for me as the Vaulters are my favourite faction now. That teleport is awesome.
Endless Space is a great little game, and I'm definitely looking forward to Endless Legend, but let's be honest here. Endless Space is exactly as generic as every other space 4X game, and based on the images so far presented Endless Legend couldn't say "generic fantasy setting" any harder if it tried. A very pretty generic fantasy setting to be sure, but anyone who thinks it looks unique and new is seriously kidding themselves.
There's a very easy solution to this - declare war on everyone first!
I would, but I play 4X games with a semi-pacifist way. I rarely start wars, but once the AI has decided to declare war, I punish them by wiping them out. It's a philosophy I adopted from Babylon 5 tbh. "Never start a fight, but if you find yourself in one by God finish it" and it's served me very well through 5+ iterations of Civ, both MoOs (Third never happened), both GalCivs. Played a bit of Endless Legend though and I doubt it'll work in that, definitely not in Alpha. The AI is an aggressive little toerag. Hoping they tone it down.
This is actually kinda bizzare - Vaulters are Fantasy Warhammer 40k Space Marines, but Warhammer 40k Space Marines are sci-fi versions of fantasy Knights. It's come full circle...
I don't really see the "Vaulters = 40k Space Marines" thing. Yes, the Vaulters look like space vikings, but that's only similar in concept to the Space Wolves, and even then the Vaulters are considerably less heavily armored, looking more like actual vikings in space than the power armor genetically engineered supersoldiers that GW sell.
You shouldn't be surprised, just more thorough in your reading because it is indeed mentioned ;)
Haha, I stand corrected. I missed that one. Too much skimming, not enough in depth reading.
Already got this on my wishlist. :)
Never picked up Endless Space though. Just didn't care for the card-based combat.
Are you kidding? They literally have "bolters". The units name is a "marine". Of course they can't look exactly like Space Marines because GW sues the crap out of everyone and everything, but their character design is sooooo similar.
Of course I could be wrong. But I would actually bet money that I'm not.
Also, dreadnought/titan looking thing in the background. Naturally it looks almost nothing like a WH40K titan or Space Marine dreadnought, but again that's because they'd get the crap sued out of them if it did.
Those are crossbows. Yes, the basic ranged Vaulter unit is called a Marine, and they are essentially vikings in space. Since when are either of those GW trademarks?
And the Titan in the background is a traditional robot. Unless you want to claim that GW owns humanoid robots as a concept, none of this is a ripoff.
Frankly, anyone who alleges that someone's stolen from GW's, remember this:
Word to the wise: pay attention to the minimum specs on this game before you consider buying it. I have a recent (5 months old) laptop with only an integrated Intel Iris 5100 graphics card, and the game crashes every single time I try to start it. I am not currently aware of any fixes (such as tweaking the .ini file or switching to 32-bit) that would allow me to run the most recent version, and I've had the same results with every previous version since it first showed up on early access.
Shame, too. Endless Space (2012) and Dungeon of the Endless (2014 - early access) are both super fun games from the same developer and I was really looking forward to their Fantasy take on the strategy genre. Oh well.
Yes, crossbows. Which fire bolts. Like I said, bolters. Again, it COULD be a coincidence. But considering everything, I am willing to bet that it's not.
And the folks who made this game were clever enough to not make it a ripoff. Merely a... homage? A nerdy "wouldn't it be awesome if we could play as fantasy space marines? Oh yea! Let's put it in the game!" So of course it won't look like anything in 40k. They've already got the marines, if they went too far GW's twitchy trigger finger might go off. I'm saying that the simple fact that it's there, in a fantasy world, with the marine character design already looking so much like a 40k space marine, on top of everything else... *shrugs* It makes sense to me.
Oh and believe me, I personally am well aware that GW's idea that it owns the word "Space Marine" is total bullshit. It's just that GW doesn't seem to be aware of that.
Edit: It's nice to get in a debate about something like this for a change, rather than a politically charged topic. *smiles* Thanks Mangod!
Edit Edit: Their Dawn Officer unit literally uses power armor. I mean come on! It's just too many coincidences.
... Are you seriously suggesting that a crossbow and a WH40K Bolter are the same thing? I'm not sure if you're serious.
Anyway, a crossbow fires bolts or *quarrels, which are basically small arrows. A Bolter in 40K is a 75. caliber automatic, rocket-propelled grenade launcher. How the former could be considered a ripoff of the latter... I'm sorry, no. Just no.
And powered armor is not exclusive to 40k either, **having originated in the Lensman series from 1937 and the appearing in tons of other Sci-fi series in all manner of shapes and sizes.
I'm sorry if I seem confrontational, but none of this is anywhere close enough for GW to claim copyright or trademark infringement.
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarrel
@Kahani: I would say that it's less generic then most fantasy games. especially with factions like the Cultists, Necrophage, and Broken Lords.

As far as I know, a lot of people (read: anime nerds) really look forward to this show. I know I am simply because this one is featured in the noitaminA time slot. That's how big noitaminA influences is on my preference. I mean, I completed Fractale, didn't I?
The start of the show is definitely attention grabbing. I was sitting at the edge of my sit for the first two minutes because I simply don't have a fucking clue what to expect. I purposely didn't read the synopsis or any spoilers so to be honest I was kind of lost at first before the plot slowly sinking in.
This is a show about money and have everything to do with money. Those with money triumph, those who are not... well either they get defeated and then jumped off in front of the train or simply be a loser for the rest of his mortgaged life. Players (usually those who in dire needs of money) are chose at random and is offered as an entrepreneur at "The Financial District". All they have to do in exchange is giving them their future (which pretty much spells out their life in fine prints if they bothered to read the contract that is). When they want to withdraw money, they have to travel to another dimension where somewhat magical creatures will be their weapon against their opponent. Win the game and you get the money. Otherwise your life is shortened.
It is just like the title suggested really. You exchange your future/life/soul for the money which mean you are letting go the ability to have control over the possibility of your future/life/soul (I am totally making this shit up). You're pretty much fucked up unless you are smart and win them back.
Kimimaro Yoga is the protagonist who is very diligent, working two jobs to get honest money. This also means, he is the right candidate to be the for the next entrepreneur. Masakaki could possibly be the most interesting character in this show. He reminded me of Johnny Depp because of his wacky personality. You can tell that he's cunning and will stab you in the back if given the chance. He managed to convince Kimimaro and thus that poor kid fall into the hands of the greedy.
Though the story is engaging, I still feel like it is lacking something. It is in the middle of the episode that I realized that I was expecting something that blow my mind away in term of it's art and animation. Maybe I am just too used of the idea that noitaminA anime will usually brings something different to the table. Err... actually it does. Kinda but not really.They still provide visual fest with vibrant colors (when in the Financial District), interesting camera angles and massive use of 3D effects. I was just being too picky because that isn't really my thing (the 3D). However at times, the characters look so fucking rigid it was as if they are saving on frames. Also the character designs are just too average. Maybe the production studio aimed to win the heart of the audiences through the story/plot instead of brilliant arts and animation.
Fortunately for them, it works or at least it managed to keep us on our toes and made us curious. Curiosity is good because that means we will tune in for the next episode. Having said that, I'm not entirely convinced yet.

Mid Term Lesson Reflection
Overview of the lesson
Our lesson was designed to familiarize students with the techniques of political advertising and to make them little experts in the field of campaign ads. This is both a timely and a critical lesson to learn. Timely, because we are, as Virginians, right at the climax of the political propaganda that accompanies a governor's race, and less than a year removed from one of the biggest elections in American history. Critical, because, as citizens in a democratic society, how we vote determines who rules, and political advertising has a lot to say about how we vote.
We wanted the students to be able to identify some of the major aspects of political propaganda and determine what appeals the advertisement is making to what segment of society. To this end, we started by covering the six main propaganda techniques that are used specifically for political campaigns. Students were given a verbal and visual word association chart to aide in remembering this information. Then we watched a campaign ad and I modeled the filling out of an analysis worksheet designed to investigate the mood, method, and target of the ad. The students then, in groups, watched ads of their own and filled out their own analysis sheets. We wrapped up with a class discussion of the information we covered.
This material is covered in the Civics SOL. SOL CE.5 (c) states that "the student will be able to analyze campaigns for elective office, with emphasis on the role of the media." According to SOL CE.1 (c), students should also be able to develop the Social Studies skills required of responsible citizens such as analyzing political advertisements.
Reaction upon completing the lesson
I was quite pleased with our lesson. A writer once told me there are only two rules to writing: never be muddy, and never be boring. I think this can be applied to teaching, if modified to read something like this: always be about a legitimate lesson; never be boring. The lesson we produced was a good one, and we didn't stray from it either by falling into superfluity or by focusing too narrowly at the expense of the more important information. And while I wouldn't say we were "never boring," I would say that as far as civics lessons go, this one was bearable.
Our objectives going into this lesson were 1) the student will be able to recognize the six propaganda techniques and 2) students will be able to analyze political advertisements in the context of propaganda techniques. By first cover said techniques (with the assistance of a word association chart) and then actively using our new knowledge to analyze ads (with scaffolding provided by the instructors), our objective were pretty clearly met.
While there was some disagreement about the opening video we played, I think our general flow was effective. The segments of the class, headed by three different teachers, meshed well and led into each other. This contributed towards a focused classroom. The discussion I lead towards the end of class helped us, as teachers, assess the capability of the students. The discussion both allowed me to continue to frame the subject and nudge the student's conceptions towards our objectives, as well as providing me with the opportunity to check their knowledge.
A couple areas of concern include teacher enthusiasm and the posting class questions and NCSS themes for the class. I do believe these things are important for getting the students to come back to the important stuff, so I'll begin to incorporate it. I will say, however, that I'm of the opinion that such posting of questions is but a tool in a teacher's arsenal, and that doing that doesn't guarantee a focused lesson, nor does neglecting it damn the lesson. So, as far as the guiding question and themes go, that seems like an easy fix. A kind of "you live, you learn" type thing. Teacher enthusiasm is similarly easy to identify, but perhaps tougher to fix. I'll go into this more below.
Reaction upon watching to video of myself
As I re-watched the video of the lesson, I was happy to see that my initial impressions pretty much bear themselves out on film. Generally, I was pleased with what I did. However, I saw a few areas were I could grow. For one, I didn't sound as enthusiastic as I could have. Now, I don't think I need to be a circus monkey, but I do think that there's a lot to be said about teaching as a performance. Also, due to technological restrictions, I was relegated to a place behind the cart for part of my portion. Obviously, this isn't an ideal way to address to class. The clip below shows both these problems, as well as some of the good parts.
Other parts of the lesson were better. For instance, once free from the restraints of the Elmo machine, I circulated throughout the class and held a discussion with the various groups from the center of the room. As I interacted with them, there was a natural shift in my voice towards a more animated style. This clip below shows some of that.
As I continue to hone my ability to teach effectively, I'll keep in mind some of the things this video revealed. I really believe in the importance of a teacher's physical proximity to the kids. Not only does this cut down on behavioral issues, it also encourages them to engage with you. I don't want to menacingly hover over my students, but I do want to do everything I can to encourage them to be active in their thinking and discussion with me.
Concluding comments
I really liked this mid term because I think it encouraged me in my abilities to both craft and deliver a good lesson as well as gave me some helpful pointers for growth. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of the flaws, like posting questions and speaking in a monotone voice, can be easily identified. Correction of these issues can also begin immediately, which is encouraging. I also was happy to see some of our strengths, like our ability to weave a flowing lesson and effectively engage the class.
I firmly believe that I have many of the tools to be good, and that I just need lots of practice with some guidance from experienced teachers and professors. Towards that end, this was a helpful project.
What About High School?
A few classmates and I responded to youtube sensation "A Vision of Students Today" with a video of our own. I had a few technical problems because of the different Flip camera models, and some of our signs are kind of faint. We'll have to work on that for next time. You live, you learn.
Confidence and Lesson Plans
I wonder if the image I chose this week, below, applies to me?
I ask this because, a little over half way through my early field experience, I feel like I'm ready for the next step. Confidence is a good thing, I'm convinced, for an aspiring teacher to have. But hubris is not. If my confidence is based on reality and is keenly aware that I still have much to learn, than I'm happy. I hope I'm not like this kitten, who looks in the mirror and sees a lion.
And now, about lesson plans. This week we were to talk to our teachers about their expereince. Watch this video to see what I've been thinking about.
Are We Saints?
In my training as a pre-service teacher, I've noticed some funny things about the way teachers are viewed, and the way they view themselves. Like this iconic rendering of St. Nicholas, some teachers fancy themselves as righteous do-gooders, condescending to help hapless children in the holy cause of learning. Not that teaching, or learning, are somehow low pursuits. Clearly, they are not. But I'm sometimes frustrated with the way teachers can sometimes be viewed, and view themselves, as pious saviors to a community of children.
Certainly, this is not the only caricature of teachers that exists. Another common one is quite opposite. This other view of teachers can be summed up by the old adage: "those who can't do, teach." But as often as I hear this kind of talk, I hear another kind. It's in the response from people when they hear you're a teacher. You hear things like "Oh, that must be so rewarding!" or "wow, we really need more people like you in the world." My personal favorite is the one teachers often say of themselves, the sanctimonious "teaching isn't a job, it's a vocation."
Look, I don't mean to denigrate the profession. Rather, I just want to preserve a little perspective. Certainly there are teachers to whom their job is a vocation. There are those truly talented teachers who want to change the world one student at a time, and do. But to suggest that all, or even most, of us fit such a description seems to me a ludicrous idea. Let's be honest for a minute. There are a lot of teachers out there, particularly in the lower grades, that fall into teaching as a back up job. Or over-grown jocks who "teach" English so that they may follow their true love: coaching high school football.
I'm not self-loathing. In fact, I think I may even consider myself as a teacher who may have the gift and the desire to reach students with knowledge. But let's leave off with all this saintly talk about ourselves. At the end of the day, any job can be a vocation, if one is both gifted in it and sets about his work with a higher ideal in view. And while we're being honest, let's also remember that we'd probably see a lot more people who truly have the calling if teachers had a higher status/income in our society. I'm all for a seriousness of purpose and heart-felt belief in our mission as teachers. But until we have more, and I mean *a lot* more, "good teachers," I'll remain embarrassed every time I hear the self-righteous babble about our vocation.
From Chalkboard to the Web
My classroom, and school in general, has a surprisingly high amount of technological capabilities. In my classroom we have an lcd projector, smart board, teacher laptop, and about ten or twelve other laptops for student use. Given the budget tightness in the county, this level of in-class technology is happily surprising.
Unfortunately, I was not in the classroom when the students most recently used the laptops for an activity. However, I gathered they shared them amongst themselves (about 2 or 3 students to a computer, I would assume), and used them for internet research. I'd like to ask my teacher exactly what the activity was, or to witness a future activity, to find out exactly how it was used. My teacher also has used the tv and dvd player several times in my presence (to show videos), and two or three times has projected a slideshow using the lcd when lecturing.
All that is good, but one thing that I've found interesting is how little these high technology implements have been used compared to more traditional tools. The smartboard itself has never been used in my presence, and similarly, the laptops almost always sit in a locked file cabinet. Even the lcd project is used far less often than the overhead projector, a holdover technology from many decades past.
This strikes me primarily as wasteful, rather than a missed opportunity. What I mean is, I'm not offended the technology isn't used. I've never been one to try to incorporate technology for its own sake. But I don't like to see expensive technology sit un-used in a time when money is so tight.
What does this mean? Well, for one, it means schools systems should take a realistic look at what goes on. Despite in-services and other training, teachers will be reluctant to change what works for new fangled tools. Therefore, there should be a system that rewards teachers who demonstrate to the desire and know-how with the latest technology, rather than trying to teach old dogs new tricks. Somethings, like teacher laptops, will have almost universal use. Things like tv's, and even perhaps lcd projectors, and in the same category. But fewer teachers will take advantage of things like smartboards and wireless "easels." These things, and classroom laptops, should be distributed to teachers who will actually use them, or in some sort of computer lab type format.
I'm encouraged to see the equiptment my teacher has. As a future teacher who plans on usuing laptops and lcd projectors a lot, I hope that I am afforded those same resources. However, I'd like to see the allocation of these tools more wisely considered.
Student Shadowing
The more I followed Chris around the school, the more I began to fear for him. He first came to my attention early in the semester, sitting pretty quietly in the front of one of the co-taught classes. Slight of frame and soft of voice, he didn't seem like much of a problem child. But I quickly noticed that, without much warning, he'd occassionally turn on a classmate, waving his arm and hand wildly at them, trying to hit them, or yelling at them. Generally, he was quick to stop acting up when I or a teacher would intervene. But I noticed that Chris liked being left alone, and the slightest infringement on his space or his things by other students set him off.
As I shadowed Chris throughout several of his other classes, I began to see many of the same behaviors I witnessed in our usual class. He was reserved and quiet, but could easily be set off by other students, whether they mean to tease him (and many did), or whether their intentions were good. His level of engagement changed between classes–some he obviously liked more than others. But even that engagement was with fairly narrow parameters. He wouldn't really ever raise his hand, but the classes he liked were the classes where he'd start doing the work with out pulling out a book for personal reading or resting his head on the desk.
Even at lunch Chris was fairly isolated. I swung by his table about half way through the lunch period and he was all alone. I breifly spoke with him (about a short story he was writing for English) before I went to the teacher's longue. One nice spot though: I made a point to stick my head in as I left the longue after lunch. He was sitting with a few kids I didn't know and seemed to be talking. Perhaps he does have friends, I couldn't say for sure.
It was very difficult trying to determine what sorts of activites or subjects he really loved, because his level of active participation (raising hand, answering questions, etc.) was nil. But, as I've noted, he took more quickly to some individual work faster than other types of individual work.
I found that Chris was also very irritable. I asked a few teachers about it, and they seemed to think he'd progressed away from violent reactions since last year. It's hard to say if that's a sign of maturation or just the sensible calculations of a kid who is oversized by almost all his peers.
I said as I began this post that I was scared for Chris. This is because it seems that people who don't seem to have any sort of solid interpersonal relationships turn out very damaged. I certainly this is a phase, a tough growing experience, or that he'll find some kindred spirits. But as a formed middle and high school classmate of Seung Cho, I find his lack of meaningful interaction disturbing. I myself try to talk with him every class, but a teacher probably can't do the trick. It's a little disheartening to see that Chris' interactions, or lack thereof, are pretty much the same in all his classes.

I love this time of the year! Halloween is a big festivity in New York City that brings out the most creative ideas from gothamists and visitors. Jack O' Lanterns, Ghost Tours, Haunted Houses, and terrific parades are just a small piece of what you can do and see in New York City for the next couple of weeks (for some ideas, please visit my article about the Best Halloween 2015 Plans in New York City.)
Because New Yorkers have virtually no free time, I wanted to bring you a quick and easy make-up tutorial to dress up as a skeleton. You will only need a few products that you very likely already own, a good mirror, your creativity, and a good make-up remover. And remember: Work with your mistakes! This make-up has a lot of free-hand drawing, so make the most of your ideas and don't fret over perfection!

You know how important it really is to get the best possible vehicle at the cheapest price available. It's difficult when you have nagging salesmen attempting to squeeze every last dime out of you. It's possible, but you should know what you can do.
Bring someone along in your car shopping day. Go on a friend or a family member who will be able to counsel you and encourage you to definitely think carefully in regards to the deals you will be offered. The corporation could be your way of life partner, a best friend or a trusted loved one.
Hunt for your automobile online before going to a dealership. Try to save your dealership trip until after you've decided on the sort of car you want. You ought to search the web and investigate the models which can be best option to suit your needs, the safety records along with other information which a dealer is not going to discuss.
You ought to talk to your bank to make sure that which you qualify for a financial loan if you intend to buy a new vehicle. This is certainly can boost your security. Many times the finance department of your dealership can discover better rates than your bank. You ought to have a concept of what you should such as your interest rate to get before starting shopping.
Search online for great deals. It will save you thousands by doing an Internet search. Determine what you like, and possess your dealership order it to suit your needs. Go there, or get the dealership order it for yourself, if they have one close.
Don't ever pay full price. Exactly what the dealers list around the sticker is not really what they actually think they are going to get. Should you aren't a good negotiator, bring a great negotiator together with you. You should know just what a decent price is going to be before going allowing you to have a great idea of what you must pay.
Avoid discussing incentives, down payments or trade-ins until you probably know how much you are going to pay for the automobile. You desire these extras to reduce the purchase price. This should help you have a better deal.
Check with your bank to ensure that you qualify for a financial loan, prior to head out car shopping. This will be significant for your security. You can often get better financing from the dealer, but you should know what sort of interest rates you will be coping with before starting shopping.
Contact the lender first to ascertain if you qualify for a financial loan if you need a new car. This is just for safety. It can be nice with an idea before hand, however the dealership probably can see better rates.
In the event you don't think that one could avoid pressure during any sales pitches, you shouldn't go shopping alone to get a vehicle. Ask a family member to assist you to stay strong. Discuss your needs and the limits of your own budget with your adviser prior to visiting an auto lot.
Don't give any dealer a social security number. Plenty of dealerships ask you with this information so they can run your credit. You should not let multiple dealers run your credit. Prior to starting spouting from the Social, make sure the deal is prepared.
You have to be sure which you look over the vehicle closely when you've made your option. Inspect the outside for any dents or scratches. Find any stains or tears around the carpet along with the upholstery. Do not forget that once you make your purchase, the auto is owned by you. This will likely include any issues likedents and scratches, and rips.
Shop at month's end. This is the crunch time for quotas, so salespeople desire to sell, sell, sell. Close to the end of a calendar month, you could just catch a salesman behind on his quota so willing to haggle you with a better deal than usual.
Should they know you may have one before you begin negotiating, -in will certainly be added into the purchase price.
Don't forget to examine when buying used. You may use the net to your great advantage when looking for a car's value. Use NADA or Kelly Blue Book to determine what the vehicle will be worth. As soon as the dealer won't come close to those rates, leave.
Leave the premises if you think pressured or intimidated. Just get rid of there, regardless of what they generally do. Form an excuse. Leave immediately! You have so many more options available. There is no need to handle unsavory salespeople.
Now you can realize that it lacks as a stressful experience, though the idea of car shopping can certainly make a lot of people cringe. Ways are out there to truly make your process fun. Ditch the automobile-buying blues and set out to get the car, truck or SUV that will provide what you need.

Regular readers will not be surprised to learn that if I kept a list of people I don't like, Alex Salmond would be on it. Still, I do agree with the commentator on this article who said:
"Bring on our [Scottish] independence,i know some people might not think we would manage on our own but i say its our right to try,if we make a mess of it then its our fault not yours"
Fair enough, in principle. But where is the guarantee that Westminster won't put in any funding, and that English Taxpayers won't be paying for any Scottish mistakes?

So my work ended and then I got to spend a wonderful day with my grandkids. Oh my, how I love those kids! Seriously, there is nothing better than being a grandparent. Although we just spent the day "doing nothing", it was so enjoyable.
Over the last 7 years I have collected some insightful and heartwarming thoughts that I call "Lia-isms" or "Ellie-isms".(Quotes from Lia - now age 7 and Ellie, now age 4) These choice nuggets represent some of the best application of Biblical ideas and prophetic truths.
Here is this weeks "Ellie-ism". Ellie asked me to have a "sleep-over" at her house. She is very anxious to have a real sleepover. Lia (the older sister) has already experienced this and Ellie can't wait. Ellie told me that there was plenty of room in her "other bed" for both Jesus and me! If you ask Ellie, she will tell you in great detail about Jesus being in her room with her at night. (He sleeps in her other bed.) Now some might say that she just has a good imagination, but this is much more than that. These nighttime visits started when Ellie was between 2 and 3 years old. She can tell you exactly what Jesus looks like - He has a "mush-tache"! Which for Ellie, means a beard. And he has "all the colors" around him and also "has a fire". I asked Ellie if Jesus talked to her. She told me that he called her "Ellie". And held her hand.
Wow! She certainly hasn't heard passages from Revelation, but there is a rainbow of colors surrounding Jesus and fire! And she also wouldn't know that Yahweh knows every one's name. Jesus called Ellie by name.
Several years ago I wrote a small booklet called "Gods Plan and Purpose for Children".
That booklet was born out of the idea that adults needed to have a better understanding of the destiny that Yahweh has for us that begins before we are born. Yahweh intends to use children when they are children - not just after they have grown up.While there are many good concepts in that booklet, I had really only scratched the surface. Now, thanks to Lia and Ellie, I am seeing first hand how much more is available through our kids. Ellie and Lia know Jesus. They don't just know stories about Jesus, they have encountered him, talked with him and even held his hand.
I love how much I am learning from these little ones.
Here is the address to read my booklet - God's Plan and Purpose for Children

Kareena Kapoor turns Director
For Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, director Shakun Batra was to shoot an entire sequence with Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan being drunk on the streets of Las Vegas. The scene required them to act crazy, interact with strangers, slip on escalators and behave drunk on the sly.
Since Imran was very unsure about the task, Bebo took charge getting behind the camera calling the shots. With so much involvement We are sure she will ask Shakun for an associate editor credit.

I loved getting messy again with my Dusty Attic pieces including my favorite DA vine torn in half and the photo frame which is actually Decorative Gate DA0319. Loved getting out the Gesso and paints including some new Silks acrylic glaze in Olive Vine and Teal Zircon. Then I used my black and white FAber Castell Gelatos to lighten and darken for highlighting and shadows. There is also some Dirty Martini Glimmer Glam on the vines.
For textural contrast I've used burlap and fringe lace with Prima stones for glimmer as well as various pearls. That was offset with a Tim Holtz metal bookplate. My florals are Petaloo. The title is a mix of rub-ons, tiny alphas and a product strip!
I think that's about it! I encourage you to hop over to Stuck on U Sketches, snag the sketch and create something beautiful with it! We'd love for you to play along with us this time. It's a crazy busy month but this sketch is really fairly simple if you have a minutes to unwind and create! We'd love to have you! Also ... don't forget to peruse the DT creations this time .. wow!

Feature: We expect commodities to perform again in 2010, with returns potentially outpacing the gains exhibited in 2009. Total returns in 2009 (S&P GSCI +13.5%) were driven by marked increases in spot prices — although we are anticipating spot prices to increase further in 2010, we believe the magnitude of spot price increases will not compare to 2009. However, with global GDP growth poised to rebound to 4.0%, driven largely by strength in the commodity-intensive EM, we anticipate inventories will tighten, reducing the roll cost associated with oversupplied markets. Our top picks include gold until the Fed hikes rates, deferred oil, long corn/short beans until planting intentions are released, long sugar until April, and long copper.[morgan stanley]

If you likedOverlord
...then you might likeQuanzhi Gaoshou
Both series involve OP protagonists using game world avatars to destroy thse who stand in their way. While King's Avatar plays this straight by using it with a fictional game and esport scene, Overlord instead opts to go in a more fantasy route with the main character actually diving into the game world, being stuck there.

The MCs are really overpowered but were left out. Quanzhi Gaoshou MC was thrown out of team and Overlord MC got stuck alone in world.
Both are gaming anime. Both have MCs that seem OP. Both are pretty good anime.
