Thomas asks…
where can i watch free movies online without downloading & having to register to the site?
Nagesh answers:
Www.tudou.com is by far the best website for this. They have all the movies there, from the most recent to the oldest, from Hollywood films to arthouse, but it’s a Chinese website, which means it’s better to type in the movie title in mandarin when you are doing the searching. It’s something like the Chinese version of Youtube.
Nancy asks…
what is a approatie anime for 13 year olds, yet not crappy?
tittle says it all. but has to be approved by christion parents
wouls also appreataite a youtube channel that has all the season 1-2 episodes atleast.
Nagesh answers:
I just want to say, i’m shocked at how many complete jerks answered your question, and i’m sorry you’re getting such horrible replies.
I would say that almost all the movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki#Director.2C_screenplay.2C_and_storyboards) are appropriate, and i’m 16 and have to admit, i still love them. Two of his best ones, in my opinion, are Howl’s Moving Castle(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl%27s_Moving_Castle_(film)) and Spirited Away(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirited_Away)
But there are alot more by this director that might actually be better for little kids… For instance My neighbor Totoro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Neighbor_Totoro), Kiki’s Delivery Service, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiki%27s_delivery_service), Ponyo on the Cliff by the sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponyo_on_the_Cliff_by_the_Sea)
You could try Fruits Basket. They do say Damn, but other than that it’s very innocent. There is one episode that has some adult comments, but they’re not risky and would prob. Go over his/her head.
Another cute one that i just found recently is Shugo Chara. I’m not sure if it is in english or not, i just watched it with subtitles, but you could look into it…
Lucky star is another good one… And Azumanga Daioh, too though lucky star is directed more towards younger kids…
Then there’s always the classics like sailor moon and YuGiOh…
Those may be the most innocent ones you can get… A big part of anime is the slight pervert-like humor, so it’s not easy to find a show that doesn’t have that aspect…
Some other ones i liked when i was younger were Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon ball, Dragon ball Z…i would recommend Dragon ball for little kids, Dragon Ball Z and GT are a little more adult and much more violent… And can’t think of too many more… I can’t really remember if they were innocent or not… It was soo long ago.
Spirited Away: http://www.animecrazy.net/spirited-away-hayao-miyazaki/
Howl’s Moving Castle: http://hubpages.com/hub/Anime-TV-Online—Watch-Howls-Moving-Castle-Online-Here
Dragon ball, Dragon ball Z, and Dragon ball GT: http://www.idragonball.com/
I would search google (instead of just searching youtube) for other sites that have english dubbed anime shows… There are alot of them… Also, Veoh.com is a good site. It’s like Youtube, but if you download Veoh TV, you can watch full episodes online instead of watching parts…
I hope I helped… There’s alot of animes out there, and i’m sure that you could search google (or any other search engine you like) for a list of animes for 13 year olds… See what you find ^^
Good luck with your search!!!

What are the pros and cons of a PS3 and XBOX?
I’m not really bothered about the big debate about whether which one is better, I’m just wondering which one has more pros than cons and vice versa. 🙂
-By the way I’m a PS3’er,
Nagesh answers:
PS3 v. 360
PS3 (Pros)
1. Free online
2. Web Browser
3. Blu-ray
4. You can actually mod your PS3 and use regular PC Hard Drives (meaning you can have a lot of memory)
5. You can actually download things off the web browser (ex: my cousin downloads movies off stagevu.com on his ps3, and it saves on his hard drive)
6. Beautiful graphics
7. Has built in wifi
PS3 (Cons)
1. The online community isnt as good as 360
2. PS3 games tend to get DLC way later than 360
3. Easier to hack games online (since PS3 is built more like a PC, people can easily upload aim bots and mods on their system, making games like CoD suck)
XBOX 360 (Pros)
1. Good online community
2. Get DLC 1st majority of the time
3. Has gears of war (xbox only)
4. Has built in wifi (newer versions)
XBOX 360 (Cons)
1. Doesnt have built in wifi (older versions)
2. Red Ring of Death (was a major problem for the longest with xbox’s)
3. Noisy a lot of times
4. A LOT of CoD hackers (10th prestige / 15th prestige noobs)
5. A lot of cases where your account gets hacked / bad customer service (has personally happened to me, and the hacker spent my actual money – my credit card was linked to the account… Then it took atleast a month and a half for microsoft to resolve the problem).
Ruth asks…
Any writing piece on the topic music- ideas?
I have to do a piece of writing- fiction, essay anything- on the topic of music. Any out of the box ideas?????
Thanks
Nagesh answers:
Here’s a few ideas:
1.) Native American Tribal Music
The stories and voices of the Native American culture and its people resonate through their music – their evolution as well as the history of their tribal legacy are retold best through these soulful melodies, celebrated with energetic drum rhythms, and revitalized with modern arrangements.
From pow wow songs and contemporary music to native flute songs, church and ceremonial music, the sounds of the Native American culture is a unique fusion of voice, flute, drums, beat, dance & spirit.
Pow Wow Music:
Fusing thunderous drum rhythms with syncopated melodies and soaring vocals, pow wow music is an exciting mix of both old and new Native American song.
From traditional songs that have been passed down from one generation to the next and are still sung in the original native language; to the more contemporary sounds that feature inter tribal arrangements, this music celebrates the rich heritage of the Native American culture and honors the voices of the distant past as well as future generations.
2.) Ancient music:
Ancient music is music that developed in literate cultures, replacing prehistoric music.
Ancient music refers to the various musical systems that were developed across various geographical regions such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, India, China, Greece and Rome. Ancient music is designated by the characterization of the basic audible tones and scales. It may have been transmitted through oral or written systems. Ancient music symbols were the pan flute and the lyre. Both were used in ancient Greece thousands of years ago.
3.) Pirating:
Music pirating has become a controversial issue within the last decade. Some people think it is wrong to download copyrighted music without paying and others think all music should be free. Your essay can take a stance on either side. Opposition to pirating can be shown by explaining the consequences downloading. Or you could tell stories of how who gets hurt when movies are pirated. If you support pirating, explaining how this is beneficial to society. The essay shouldn’t be solely based on opinions, though you may have strong opinions on one side. Scholastic advices that you focus the paper on facts, “and then provide statements to support those facts.”
4.) Music Education:
Music education in American schools is a popular political topic that can be turn into a persuasive essay. The importance of keeping music in school allows you to show the benefits of music education with the growth of children. If you prefer another subject over music, you can persuade your audience that it beneficial to children’s growth. Readers should learn about both sides in your essay. The Purdue University Online Writing Lab warns that is dishonest to hide the other viewpoint or “exclude evidence that may not support the thesis.”
5.) Hip Hop and Children:
Hip hop has been hitting airwaves since the 1980s and since then many parent have raised concerns with some of the lyrics. An argument against children listening to hip hop or the approval of more censorship will make a compelling essay. You can add studies about the effects of hip hop on children and what happens in the long term. Or, you could take the other side and explain that it is parental responsibility to stop children from listen to hip hop. Other options include why hip hop is therapeutic for children, why hip hop music is vital to the community and how children learn better by listening to hip hop.
6.) -ADOLESCENCE and ROCK MUSIC:
Experts have stated that rock music is often a natural target of interest for adolescents. Music becomes rock music only when it is combined with the fantasies which the adolescent invests in it. This must take into account the sounds, rhythms, melodies, instruments, voice, lyrics and the combined effect of countless variations of tone. The significance of rock music is essentially connected with the fact that the adolescent has neither words nor commonly shared ways of expressing the new and never before experienced changes taking place within him- or herself. Music can emotionally affect adolescents at a deeper level than is possible with words alone. Rock music can enable adolescents to express, to be in contact with and to share amongst themselves feelings of anger, rage, grief, longing, isolation, psychological disintegration etc., as well as to experience closeness. It can safely lull the adolescent into regressive moods and – with its musical clarity, simplicity and high volume – give shelter to the distressed and may sometimes even be of help to confused adolescents.
