For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.
No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.
The depth of analysis found in the International Critical Commentary (ICC) Series has yet to be surpassed in any commentary collection. One of the best features of this series is the extensive amount of background information given in each volume's introduction, where all of the analysis is provided before the actual commentary begins. Each volume packs more information into the introduction than you will often find in the body of most commentaries! Also consider that with the electronic versions of each volume, you will never need to leaf through the hundreds of pages in each volume searching for the passage you are studying.
The editors at the time of publication were John Adney Emerton, Charles E. B. Cranfield, and Graham Norman Stanton. The original series editors were Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred Plummer, and Charles Augustus Briggs.

I have tried to present the message of the letters as they are ostensibly meant to be understood, as letters from Paul to Timothy and Titus, but I am well aware that right from the beginning of their 'canonical' history the letters were intended to be read for their relevance to the church and its leaders, and it is therefore also on that level that they are interpreted. I am conscious that only to a very limited extent has the commentary attempted to ask questions about the history of exposition or about the significance of the letters for the modern reader, but I hope that the exegesis has been done in such a way that expositors will find it a helpful basis for application. A recent commentator on another epistle has stated that 'commentaries should be a resource for worship rather than a self-indulgent exploration of the biblical text'. Like him I write from a self-consciously Christian set of presuppositions, and it is my hope that this commentary will help readers to appropriate the message of this particular part of Holy Scripture.
I. Howard Marshall is currently Emeritus Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Honorary Research Professor, University of Aberdeen, in Scotland. Formerly, Chair of the Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical and Theological Research; President of the British New Testament Society and Chair of the Fellowship of European Evangelical Theologians. He holds a DD, from Asbury, a MA, BD, & PhD, from the University of Aberdeen, and a BA from Cambridge.
Among his many published works, Marshall has also written a volume on 1 Peter for the The IVP New Testament Commentary Series.

Chalkware is really plaster of Paris decorated with watercolors. One type was molded from Staffordshire and other porcelain models and painted and sold as inexpensive decorations in the nineteenth century. This type is collected today. Figures of plaster, made from about 1910 to 1940 for use as prizes at carnivals, are also known as chalkware. Chalkware is very unsophisticated and is often considered folk art. Kewpie dolls made of chalkware will be found in their own category.

Using code you have the ability to add custom properties to a TERM.
For example:
Term term = termSet.CreateTerm("ParentTerm", 1029, new Guid("{0368F902-740B-4855-A4A7-FA8F96813CCB}"));
term.SetCustomProperty("OBJID", "2222");
How can this be done using central administration? I don't see any way using the sharepoint central admin to add this custom property to a term.

We got our hands on a Lumia 900 last week and spent a day with it, trying to use it as our primary device. Windows 7.5 is an easy OS to use, though it is different enough from Android and iOS that it does take some time to get familiar with. Before we get into the pros and cons of the device, here is a little refresher about the specs of the device:
– 4.3″ AMOLED ClearBack glass touchscreen
– 1.4 GHz processor
– 16 GB Internal Memory
– 4G LTE Connectivity
– 8 MP Carl Zeiss camera; 1 MP front camera
– 5.6 ounces; 2.7 inches across, 5.03 inches tall, 0.45 inches thick
– Micro SIM
This phone feels sturdy in your hands, and while it has a little more body to hold onto than a lot of phones hitting the market today, we never felt like it was too big to use. Windows 7.5 (Mango) is a beautiful Operating System, and while using it we never hit an error or lag when moving between apps. Admittedly, it would be hard to transition to from an Android or iOS device with the lack of apps, but if you were taking your first steps away from a BlackBerry or feature phone, the Lumia 900 and Windows Phone in general, would be a great place to start.
The battery life was impressive, having just made it through the day without charging it while testing it extensively, it should be no problem with normal use. The mail and messaging applications are easy to use, and concisely show your messages. It was really easy to transition from Facebook chat, to text messaging, to Windows Live Messenger without skipping a beat.
The camera software was intuitive, and the Carl Zeiss hardware fantastic. The only complaint we (and every other reviewer on the Internet apparently) had was that the actual image files seem to come out with slightly different colors than how they looked when being taken.
Long story, the Nokia hardware is good, the Windows Mango OS is good, and if Microsoft can get the droves of developers that some of the other platforms have brought to the table on board, then maybe there really can be a third competitor in the Smartphone arena.

We all assembled for preseason this year feeling like we just missed our main goal (MLS Cup) by a whisker last year. There was a sense of excitement and anticipation, obviously because we learned in the offseason about the coaching change and everyone was curious to meet the new staff and get things started.
Setting off for preseason in four different cities, Phoenix, Guadalajara, Jackson and Houston our time on the road was definitely a learning process especially with a new staff coming in. We learned a couple of different formations and also the coaches instilled their philosophy in us and also tried to find the perfect fit for each player.
There is always a sad feeling during pre season because a team can potentially lose some players and there were a few guys from last year's team we lost this preseason (good luck to them). We also had a couple of additions to the team this season.
Throughout our time prepping for the MLS campaign, all the guys got to know each other -- the staff got to know the players and the players got to know the staff but the one thing that was on all our minds was kicking off 2010 against the New York Red Bulls in their new stadium.
Behind all the excitement in playing in at a new stadium, we were hungry to get our season off to a good start with an away victory. We went in there and with a great atmosphere in the background we set out to control the game, battling through the entire match we unfortunately ended up losing by a lone goal. We came away disappointed because we felt we were the better team on the day. We convinced ourselves we did a lot of good things and looked forward to building off the performance the next week against the Colorado Rapids.
We had a good week of training and headed to Denver feeling confident we could get a result. We got off to a somewhat slow start and trailed at the half but we came out stronger in the second half and leveled the score. It was back-and-forth action throughout the rest of the came and it eventually ended in 2-2 tie. Though we go into every game wanting to win, we were somewhat content with the point for the fact that Colorado is very good at home and a very difficult place to play.
We are excited to come back home and play in front of our fans at Toyota Park. The last time we played here for the Conference Championship the fans created an amazing atmosphere that spurred on our performance. We know the supporters are going to come out in numbers and we are looking forward to playing well and hopefully rewarding them with a victory to kick off the great season at home that we're all expecting.
For us to win the game on Saturday, we need to execute what we've learned in training. We need to be extremely disciplined for every minute of the game. We need to respect the opponent and stay absolutely concentrated and of course play our game.
Most importantly we need YOU, the fans, to get us there!
See You Saturday!

Chemistry is a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo. It is the "study of change." In this course, the second of a two-semester general chemistry sequence, our emphasis is on chemical equilibrium, acid/base chemistry, and energy changes in chemical reactions. We also focus on chemical thermodynamics, kinetics, intermolecular forces and the physical properties of solutions, coordination compounds, and electrochemistry. At the atomic and molecular level, chemistry is a very abstract subject, but the study of atoms and molecules is fundamental to understanding life itself, since all matter is made up of atoms and molecules. Through practical examples and applications, we hope to explain not only the abstract concepts of chemistry but also how we come to know and understand those concepts in real life contexts.
Advisory: It is advisable to have knowledge in a course equivalent to CHE-111 General Chemistry I with a grade of C or better to succeed in this course. This course taken with CHE-129 General Chemistry Labs II will meet the Chemistry Area of Study Chemistry requirements.

These Portuguese salt cod fritters, called pastéis de bacalhau, are made with salt cod (it's tasty, trust us!), potato, onion, and garlic and are fried for a traditional Portuguese treat.
Here is a great Portuguese favourite. Although their real origin is the north, cod cakes became so popular that they were adopted as a true "national specialty." Cod cakes are ideal fare for snacks (hot or cold) and are featured at every Portuguese function, from the most sophisticated to the humblest. If there is anything really ingrained in the Portuguese palate, loved by everyone, this is it. Snobs may be somewhat derogatory about cod cakes, afraid of admitting that they too love this "poor-man's dish," but do not believe them. They probably eat them all the same, when nobody is looking. Cod cakes are sold at delicatessens, patisseries, roadside cafés, tavernas—everywhere in Portugal.–Edite Vieira
LC Something Fishy? Note
If you're just not down with salted cod, or for some reason can't find it, the author notes that these cod cakes are also quite nice made with fresh cod. Just saying….
Pastéis de Bacalhau | Salt Cod Fritters
- Quick Glance
- Makes 24 to 30 hors d'oeuvres
Special Equipment: Deep-fry or candy or instant-read thermometer
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- 10 ounces salted cod, preferably thick pieces
- 14 ounces russet potatoes, unpeeled
- 1 small onion, very finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3 large eggs
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
- 1. Rinse the cod well to wash away some of the surface salt. Place it in a roomy bowl, cover it with cold water, and set aside, changing the water 4 to 5 times for a total of 12 hours (for very thin cuts) to 24 hours (for thicker cuts). Before cooking, taste a few strands to make sure it's not overly salty, although it should retain some saltiness or the resulting cod cakes will be bland.
- 2. Boil the potatoes (preferably in their skins, so the potatoes don't absorb water). Peel the potatoes and mash or sieve them. Set aside.
- 3. Meantime, simmer the cod in enough boiling water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the cod, discard the skin and bones, and flake the fish as much as you can with your fingers or a fork to reduce it to threads. (The proper way of doing this is to place the flaked cod inside a clean cloth, fold it and squeeze and pound the contents of the cloth with your fists. In this way you will have mashed cod.)
- 4. Mix the cod with the mashed potatoes and add the eggs, 1 by 1, and then the onion and parsley. Taste and, if desired, season with salt. You may not need to add any, as the cod itself retains quite a lot of saltiness, in spite of being soaked and boiled. The mixture should be quite stiff, enabling a spoon to stand up in it. If you find it excessively dry, add one or two tablespoons of milk. Allow this to cool completely before deep frying.
- 5. With two tablespoons, shape the fishcakes like large eggs and place in the hot oil (370°F/190°C), turning them three or four times to get nicely browned all over. When cooked, lift them with a big fork or slotted spoon and place them on kitchen paper, to absorb excess fat. Go on molding and frying until you use up the mixture.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Here, Nick Zagorski explores three examples of some innovative approaches to integrate technology into science teaching. (Titled "In Science Education, the Reality Is Virtual" in print version.)
There was a time, not too long ago, when all you needed to teach a science course was a piece of chalk. However, even the staid lecture halls of universities aren't immune to technology's relentless advance, particularly in computing and online applications, and the past several years have seen many institutions incorporate modern technologies into the teaching environment. Below are just three examples of some innovative approaches to integrate technology into science teaching, highlighting the fact that, with today's tools, virtually anything is possible.
When San Diego's Scripps Research Institute was setting up its campus in Jupiter, Fla., a few years back, its founders wanted to make sure their new endeavor would not be perceived as a second-class satellite center; Scripps Florida was an expansion of this renowned institution, just one that was situated across the country, as opposed to across the street.
Of particular importance was trying to make the Florida students feel a bicoastal connection, so, Scripps set out to provide them access to the courses available in California.
The institute fitted the principal lecture halls on each campus with multiple digital cameras and projectors to allow students in one room to watch the proceedings in the other room in real time.
Curt Wittenberg, who oversees Scripps' first-year molecular biology course, which has been at the forefront of using the new technology, notes it has been an interesting adaptation process.
"Right around the time we began implementing the technology, we also were switching the class from a lecture to discussion-type format," he says. "Combine that with the fact that this course is team-taught, and each member has his or her own degree of affinity for the technology, it made for an interesting transition."
The early years were more adventurous, as the hookup initially only allowed passive viewing; thus, if a student in Florida had a question, they had to type it via instant messenger to a teaching assistant in California who would then relay it to the professor.
Today, the virtual lecture halls are a technophile's dream. A professor can see and hear both sets of students (he or she controls the camera remotely at the podium), and Scripps even has added SMART boards (digital whiteboards), which allow teachers to include interactive visual aids.
Recently, Scripps also has adapted the systems to behave as a virtual conference room for use in seminar courses and journal clubs. Projecting the classroom on the opposite coast on the screen in the front of the room creates the illusion that the room extends twice as far; and, with picture-in-picture technology, the students can display graphs or figures as they discuss their journal papers.
"It's certainly different from when we faculty were students," Wittenberg says, "But, we've managed to adapt pretty quickly, and it's a fun and innovative way to make our two campuses feel like one."
Jessell: HHMI investigator Thomas Jessell gives a live demonstration of the electrical activity in his biceps and triceps during his 2008 Holiday Lecture.
No matter what the actual content, the word "lecture" is not particularly attractive. For Dennis Liu, program director for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute annual Holiday Lecture series— in which some of HHMI's top investigators speak to high school teachers and students— a way to spice up the lectures was to make them part of a bigger package.
"I'm a self-professed science explainer," he says. "Back when I was in academia, I never minded writing papers or grants; that was kind of fun. But what always jazzed me the most was trying to explain some obscure or esoteric concept, particularly in a one-on-one setting."
"So, back in the 1990s, when we thought about how to make the Holiday series more engaging, we realized there was this great new media called the Web," he continues. "So, we set out to design companion resources that would help explain each lecture topic further."
Although early efforts were limited to creating online teacher guides, over time, Liu and his small production team began incorporating animations, video clips and activity ideas that students could interact with before, during and after each talk. Soon, all of the online "goodies" evolved into HHMI's Biointeractive website, providing a great educational resource year-round.
Among the site's many features, one of the most innovative might be the award-winning "virtual lab" series, developed by Liu and staff member Satoshi Amagai.
The virtual labs offer fully interactive biomedical simulations, which help students visualize and appreciate key scientific techniques, without dealing with some of the tediousness and repetition involved in real benchwork.
"The point of these labs is verisimilitude," Liu explains. "We don't want to tell students exactly how to make an SDS-PAGE gel, just have them realize it's a wonderful tool to separate proteins based on size."
However, although the virtual labs do offer many advantages to educators— they're easy, free, have built-in assessments and make it easy to track student compliance— Liu notes he doesn't see them as replacements for the real thing; however, in schools that don't have any lab infrastructure, the virtual labs make decent substitutes.
Currently, this online series features five simulations: bacterial identification, cardiology, neurophysiology, immunology and how to make transgenic flies. Liu and his team already are planning for the 2010 Holiday lecture in December, though, and a new high-pressure liquid chromatography simulation may be on the virtual horizon.
Virtual lectures and virtual labs are one thing, but virtual worlds take the immersive, interactive experience to a whole new level. And, for those interested in science, the place to be is the SciLands continent in the Second Life world.
Have you ever thought about talking a stroll on the Martian surface? Or maybe flying through a hurricane after you've helped Gregor Mendel examine his pea plants? SciLands can make that happen.
Once the domain of text-based chat rooms and message boards, visually based online communities have gained momentum as meeting places for like-minded individuals seeking a little escape from their immediate surroundings. Though such worlds principally have been geared toward massive online games like World of Warcraft, virtual communities designed for social and educational activity also are popular.
One of the most popular social destinations is Second Life, developed in 2003. Like other platforms of its kind, Second Life offers individuals a chance to create an alter ego, or avatar, and explore a virtual community, created and updated by the user population, where events range from the mundane to the exotic.
The educational appeal of Second Life, especially in the sciences, was apparent quickly; with just a modicum of programming and scripting skills, users could develop virtual exhibits that could replicate experiments that might be too risky, expensive or time-consuming in real life, all packaged in a colorful game-like environment that encourages learning and is accessible from any Internet connection.
As a result, many universities and science organizations developed "lands" in second life, and many of them got together eventually and formed a region dedicated to science and technology, called SciLands.
For example, one can visit Genome Island, developed by Texas Wesleyan University professor Mary Anne Clark, and try various fun activities, such as crossing pea plants, looking at X-linked inheritance in a cat colony and carrying out a bacterial transformation.
And, Clark recently taught a fully in-world genetics course for nonmajors to examine the applicability of this teaching approach, which combines the convenience of online learning with the social interaction of a traditional small-class setting.

AUSTIN - The abortion restrictions bill stopped by a Senate filibuster and raucous crowd in the chamber gallery will pass "overwhelmingly" when lawmakers return to the Texas Capitol next week, Gov. Rick Perry said Friday.
Perry has called a new 30-day special session of the Legislature starting Monday to address the abortion bill that failed after a marathon speech by Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth and disruptions caused by several hundred vocal demonstrators.
"It will pass overwhelmingly and will become the law in the state," Perry said in an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "I think the voice of the people of Texas will be heard."
Davis and legislative Democrats stopped the bill at the midnight Tuesday deadline of the first special session in part because Perry had delayed adding it to the agenda. This time, lawmakers can take up the issue immediately and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are expected to pass the bill for Perry to sign into law.
Perry, who ran for president in 2012 and is considering another campaign in 2016, also touched on federal issues during the radio interview, criticizing the immigration bill approved Thursday by the U.S. Senate.
"We will never have true immigration reform unless or until we secure our border," Perry said. "We don't need a new pathway to citizenship. We've already got one. Go get in line."
On gay marriage, Perry said that's an issue that should be left up to the states.
In 2005, Texas voters approved amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision of a federal law that denies federal benefits to married gay couples and cleared the way for state laws that recognize marriage equality.
"If you want to have that type of relationship, if you want to have that type of marriage arrangement in your state, that ought to be left up to the states," Perry said. "I think it's a long way from becoming a reality in states like Texas."

Japanese Artists in New York - 1971, Photographs by Tom Haar
During the early years of Tom Haar's residence in New York, from 1968 to 1983, he learned of a large group of Japanese artists. intrigued by their exciting lifestyle in New York, and having grown up in Japan himself, he decided to capture their creative lives in a photo essay, "Japanese Artists in New York - 1971."
"New York was very stimulating in the early 1970s—in areas gritty and seedy—especially in lower Manhattan, where many of the artists lived. soho and the artists' housing, westbeth, were still in their infancies."
It has been forty-six years since Haar worked on this project. today, many of these artists are still creatively active in new york. one of the photographed artists, Yayoi Kusama, now a well-known artist with international celebrity status, will be highlighted at this year's Honolulu Biennial, March 8th to May 8th.

Eight Days a Week | Jui-Chung Yao Solo Exhibition
Yao Jui-Chung turns daily experiences into the subject matter of his painting, where against the backdrop of idyllic landscape, the concurrence of his children's formative years and his andropause becomes an important chapter in their lives. Rather than a picture of family life, this body of work is more like the fantasia of a reclusive father, comprising one illusory image after another that may happen in the real world.
Eight Days a Week is inspired by the artist's life for the past eight years as a middle-aged man who`s been taking care of his daughters while making art at home, therefore losing touch with the friends.
Jui-Chung Yao undertook his ACC residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in California in 1998.

Before the Rain
Before the onset of a downpour there is a moment of heavy humidity that hangs low in the air. Building over time it signals the inevitability of a deluge that will interrupt and intercept patterns of normality. For Hong Kong, a city defined by humidity, the deluge that began on September 28 2014 was the result of a long and steady buildup of uncertainty, anxiety and the long held need to articulate a cohesive identity for the city. Before the Rain addresses the tensions that precipitated the recent political and civil urgency in Hong Kong and the city's pressing need to reimagine its future.

Tatsuo Miyajima, one of Japan's most renowned contemporary artists, is known for his sculptures and room-scale installations incorporating light and numbers.
Tatsuo Miyajima: Connect With Everything encompasses his sculptural works, rooms and environments, and performance videos. Time and its passage are explored through the works and represented visually by multiple, small digital counting devices. Miyajima developed his first customised digital counters in the late 1980s, using light emitting diodes or LEDs. These 'counter gadgets' remain central to his art today, their red and green palette expanding in the mid-1990s to include blue, then white, as LED technology developed in and beyond Japan.
Grantee: Miyajima Tatsuo
This exhibition, curated by Helly Minarty, interweaves various archives to show the complexity of historical trajectories of Orientalism in dance as both a historical construct and artistic resonance found in contemporary practice through its many guises. One can start from the les petites danseuses javanaises performing at the Dutch East Indies pavilion at the Paris Colonial Exhibition (Exposition Universelle) to American Ruth St Denis choreographing Radha in 1906. The on to the Oriental Tour of Denishawn - Ruth St Denis and Ted Shawn, the mother and father of American modern dance - in mid 1920s that preceeded with the making of the iconic Kecak dance by Walter Spies and I Wayan Limbak. It then detour back to Paris with the Balinese troupe from Peliatan village of Ubud in 1931 that catapulted Antonin Artaud's "Theater of Cruelty" whilst on the island, Kecak was well on the way to its amplified spectacularization as Bali most iconic dance.
Helly Minarty received an ACC Fellowship in 2011 to research American modern dance history in the United States.

Although the 2012 Summer Olympics have come to a close, training doesn't stop for elite athletes. Many athletes are already looking towards the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after all, it's only 1,451 days from now.
Throughout these summer games, Anthropology News has featured Olympic themed articles in its very first summer online issue.
Check out the latest article by Gabriel A. Torres entitled Olympic Trials and Cultural Configurations. Below is an excerpt. Read the entire article on Anthropology News.
Over the past two years, I have carried out fieldwork in a Midwest boxing gym in order to better understand the sport in its various social dimensions (from gyms, to competitions, to casual conversations). I have found that the harshness and calculated strategy that characterizes the sport of boxing also characterizes the sociocultural contexts in which boxers, trainers, officials, and fans interact; which make boxing ideal for addressing questions that are of interest to anthropologists. Discussions about how race or nationality affect boxing practices are passionately addressed head on in gyms, locker rooms, arenas, and other social spaces. Volunteering over the last two years as an apprentice trainer in a gym with two very talented athletes, Shelden and Josh, I was able to document how the boxers and their trainers experienced the Olympics from the social margins where many gyms operate.

Sadly, though, the ESL world is full of scams that are close to perfect and TASP is one of them. The husband and wife who run the sham play just loose enough with the truth to pull it off while always keeping their behinds covered with a pretense of legitimacy. They know the ESL world is full of as many gullible souls looking for opportunities as there are scam programmes ready to take advantage of them. All the scammers need to do is wait, collect their money (nonrefundable), get those waivers signed, then make their victims think they're getting something for their money in the form of a shoddy programme with minimal support. Hey, and to the credit of some of those gullible folks, they really do believe in what they're doing and probably do some decent work in their schools and with their research. But this is despite the programme, not because of it. The people who do well in TASP are probably the kind of solid folks who'll do well anywhere. TASP manipulates them, too, by parading them around and taking credit for their success. Everyone deserves better, though. Sadder, still, is the fact that the ESL market in Israel is probably too small to provide for any real competition to TASP. That's what's needed, though. Someone needs to start a real programme, a decent programme that does things right, treats people well, and does things the way they're supposed to be done in order to put TASP out of business, or force the Danks to change their procedures for the better.

Over in Shanghai, Volvo's Chinese parent Geely trundled out the McCar concept, which it says can transform for a variety of driving needs and could go into production. The Mc stands for "magic." Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The McCar seats four, along with a three-wheel electric rideabout. The space where the trike resides can fit a wheelchair, and the vehicle itself draws power from a hybrid-electric system powering all four wheels.
Geely executives say the McCar took two years to develop and carries 60 patented ideas, but a vehicle-in-vehicle concept has been around at least since Soundwave and Buzzsaw from the original "Transformers."

Late last month, a countdown clock appeared, teasing a collaboration between Tecmo Koei and Namco Bandai.
In years past, Koei and Namco Bandai collaborated to create Gundam Musou, a Gundam meets a hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors style game.
Now that Tecmo and Koei have merged, the idea of a Tecmo Koei collaboration with Namco Bandai sends notions of a title with Gundam battling Ninja Gaiden ninjas or Dead or Alive girls in hack-and-slash gameplay.
We are getting nothing of the sort.
Instead, the fruit of their labour is a One Piece: Kaizoku Musou, a hack-and-slash version of the manga One Piece.
Out of all the properties that Namco Bandai owns, I like One Piece the least—not a fan at all! That explains my meh reaction. Japanese netizens, however, do seem excited. Good for them.
The game currently does not have a release date. It is slated for the PS3.
