Another anime as I search for something as good as Full Metal Alcheist. Chaos; Head has plenty of promise: a blossiming love story, mystery, and a unique weapon (the DiSword). However, it's only 12 episodes long. If you would like to watch this series, go to: Chaos; Head on YouTube.
I am about to swap out my motherboard and processor (Intel D955Xcs and Pentium duo). I want to reuse those in a new computer case. OS is Win 7 and Opensuse 12.1 dual boot. In order to be safe, I am creating a bootable USB with Opensuse.
First step is to go see this "silent" video: http://youtu.be/sRzVxw2tI5o (2:20)
No explanation. Just two video links that will teach you L'Hopital's Rule in Calculus AB/BC fashion and even give you some practice applying it.
Have you seen the College Board's 9th Annual AP Report to the Nation? The numbers are a bit white-washed and curated. However, one can gleen some interesting trends. For examaple, 29.2% of Maryland's high school graduates of 2012 scored a 3 or higher on an AP Exam while 8 States had 10% or less. The USA average was 19.5%. Although currently, the College Board is a not-for-profit corporation, its CEO earned over $1 million in 2009. It is my beleif that, ultimately, this report is about increasing or maintaining the College Board's intake of money. Still, given that the College Board's standardized exams do act as a gate for access to the best of USA society, being knowledgeable about the demographics of success on these exams is important. Here's the demographic that I recall the most (click to see a pop-up larger version):
Despite the lengthy and rarely intelligent debates about marriage, marriage equality, gay marriage, or whatever label the media decides to use, I have not found any articles discussing the removal of govenrment or civil law from marriage altogether. However, I finally found one. It actually discusses the issue intelligently. The article does go in-depth into how this might come about, but it poses good points. The article is posted on a blog called Big Think. I am agnostic toward the blog in general and only wish to bring attention to the article I found there, by Peter Lawler, called "Should Government Get Out of the Marriage Business?"
PBS's Need To Know re-braodcast on Sunday April 21(perhaps original air date was a few days earlier) presented a program on Financial Literacy. It highlighted a program in Missiissippi directed at educating kids (as young as 1st grade) and their parents about developing savings habits and the importance of having a bank account. I got curious about the statistics. The FDIC published results of a survey in 2011. The information that follows comes from that survery, which you can find here: 2012 Underbanked Survery (or go to

I searched ("googled") the pharse, "What should I do if I can't afford college, even with loans?" Here's a great thread that does not give an answer but certainly raises some points to consider, especially one's attitude. I found it at CollegeConfidential.com at the following URL:

My golden rule when watching anime is to never watch a series that is unfinished. By that I mean, only watch series that have ended. This allows me to binge-watch or at least to always have the next episode available. I suppose this satisfies a sense of control. However, I think more important for me is that this way I do not have to wait a week for the next episode. Like all of us who enjoy good movies or stories: I want to find out what happens next.
Every now and then, I do try to practice playing my guitar. I am just good enough to be bad. I have learned that when I do practice, using a song or music that I actually enjoy works best. No matter how badly I play it, in my mind, it still sounds like the song I enjoy. Thus, I have fun practicing.
Recently, I was in the mood for classic 1960's Brittish Invasion Rock-n-Roll. I found "No Milk Today" by Herman's Hermits on YouTube:
I used the tab music at tabs.ultimate-guitar.com. About two weeks later, I ran into this version of No Milk Today by Joshua James & The Forest Rangers, which played in The Season 3 Opener of Sons of Anarchy:
Enjoy.
I had a Win XP crash due to a bad disk. Since I would have to re-install XP on the new disk, I figured I might as well install a newer OS... WIndows 7 (and dual boot Opensuse Linux, but that's not relevant here). Then I wanted to keep all my mailboxes in Thuderbird as they were. I found the solution here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1774485
The spark for this topic is about 10 days old. I do not recall exactly how we got on this topic, but two students in my class took opposing views. One thought it was crazy (not sane) to seriously consider co-ed dormitories. The other took the what's wrong with that position. I got curious as to what research might be available. I only found an ariticle from a website called livescience.com.
My favorite Anime of all time is probably Full Metal Alchemist. Anime enthusiasts know there are two versions: FMA and FMA-Brotherhood. Both are great, but Brotherhood had a complete story, following the original story line of the original author. More on FMA later. Today, I wanted to mention Chrono Crusade, the latest Anime I found in my search to find an anime that I enjoy as much as I enjoyed FMA. You can find episode 1 (of 24) with English subtitles here: Chrono Crusade on YouTube. Wikipedia has a great summary of everything you might want to know here: Chrono Crusade on Wikipedia. My review to come later.
I had to delete all posts in order to purge the spam comments! I had not realized internet bots were such an issue!!
Again, nothing but a few video links. This is for practice, not the initial teaching of the topic.
A live reaction---at least the version of which I am writing---is a video of yourself "reacting" live and in real-time as you watch an anime. Others can then play back your live reaction as they watch the anime, and it's is like having you in the room with them.
