text: I have a question regarding the release of the soundtracks on RCA/Victor back in 1997. I decided to go straight for the "Limited Editions" and skip the slimline jewel box editions. I am sitting here listening to the soundtrack of ANH and there are several alternate takes of the Main Titile and Blockade Runner track placed at the end of disc one. Are these tracks exclusive to the LE release or were these on the "standard" versions? Also... I know the laser-etched discs were made for the LE, but were ALL of the liner notes and photographs part of the standard version's booklet as well? Was there anything on the LE's that weren't on the SV's for ESB or ROTJ? Just curious.

In recent years, containers have taken the world by storm. Companies of all sizes and industries have realized the massive benefits of containers, such as unprecedented mobility, higher hardware utilization, and increased flexibility and agility; however, many containers today are non-persistent. Containers without persistence miss out on many benefits, and in many cases simply pass the responsibility of persistence onto other infrastructure, adding additional complexity.

West receives Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom
Posted June 3, 2005; 04:22 p.m.
Princeton Professor Cornel West has won the 2005 Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom.
According to an announcement from the Lannan Foundation, the $350,000 award is intended to recognize those who promote and protect the human right to freedom of imagination, inquiry and expression. The foundation defines cultural freedom as "the right of individuals and communities to define and protect valued and diverse ways of life currently threatened by globalization."
West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion, lectures and writes widely on a variety of subjects, including racial equality, American imperialism, war and peace, ending street violence, democracy and spiritual politics.
"At a time in modern history where one sees the greatest disparity ever between rich and poor, Dr. West's talks unnerve and unsettle the comfortable classes, while communicating a sense of hope and justice to the politically and economically marginalized," said J. Patrick Lannan Jr., president of the Santa Fe, N.M.-based Lannan Foundation.West, who earned a Ph.D. from Princeton in 1980, is the author of the best-selling books "Race Matters" (1993) and "Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism" (2004).

Vendetta VI Results: Sergio Wielzen back with a win
- Written by Rian Scalia
Vendetta VI took place yesterday in Vienna, Austria with fighters coming from around Europe to face some of Austria's best.
Sergio Wielzen previously had gone winless in 2012 but finally managed to get a win as he knocked out Sasa Jovanovic in the first round with a left hook. This is a good win for Wielzen, especially with the fight being at 63.5kg and gives him some momentum going into 2013.
Another It's Showtime veteran and fast rising up and comer from FF Carbin, Duoli Chen stopped Shkodran Veseli in the third round with a knee to the liver. Chen has now won two in a row since his loss to L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni and looks to have a bright future around 77kg. Apparently the fight was a war.
Aziz Kallah is also an up and comer from FF Carbin, but lost via disqualification to Foad Sadeghi in the fourth round. Kallah was dominating the fight by all accounts but was disqualified for low blows.
The Austrians did manage to get some wins though. Fadi Merza knocked out England's Jason Woodham in the second round while David Keclik scored a TKO of Errol Koning via spinning elbow. FF Carbin's Mika Tahitu lost a unanimous decision to Lirim Ahmeti, who comes from Fox Gym and is coached by Robert Fuchs. All accounts suggest that Ahmeti fought very well. A number of other Austrians also won in both kickboxing and MMA.
K-1 HW: Muamer Tufekcic def. Tomaz Simonic by unanimous decision.
K-1 63.5kg: Sergio Wielzen def. Sasa Jovanovic by KO (Left Hook) in Round 1.
K-1 76kg: Duoli Chen def. Shkodran Veseli by TKO (Knee to Liver) in Round 3.
K-1 72.5kg: Fadi Merza def. Jason Woodham by KO in Round 2.
K-1 74kg: Foad Sadeghi def. Aziz Kallah by DQ in Round 4.
K-1 81kg: Adam Evloev def. Alen Belec by TKO (Cut) in Round 1.
K-1 81kg: Fahir Batjari def. Aleksander Stankov by unanimous decision.
K-1 75kg: Sercan Dedecan def. Ales Zavec by decision.
MT 84kg: David Keclik def. Errol Koning by TKO (Spinning Elbow) in Round 3.

Market Maker Surveillance Report. WIN, BAC, GE, XOM, T, MSFT, Bearishly Biased Price Friction For Thursday, February 14th 2013
Feb 15, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Thursday there were 4024 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2639 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2681 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bearish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices dropped. Windstream Corp (NASDAQ:WIN), BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION (NYSE:BAC), General Electric Co (NYSE:GE), EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION (NYSE:XOM), AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), MICROSOFT CORPORATION (NASDAQ:MSFT). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit
Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction WIN $-0.720 -7.34% 16,302,848 58.18% 11,290,375 40.29% 5,012,473 Abnormal BAC $-0.020 -0.17% 58,966,462 41.09% 45,842,108 31.94% 13,124,354 Abnormal GE $-0.030 -0.14% 23,571,463 43.72% 15,983,821 29.65% 7,587,642 Abnormal XOM $-0.100 -0.11% 6,266,613 47.34% 2,063,138 15.58% 4,203,475 Abnormal T $-0.100 -0.28% 10,415,122 39.75% 6,387,722 24.38% 4,027,400 Abnormal MSFT $-0.040 -0.14% 20,770,866 63.66% 11,853,568 36.33% 8,917,298 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Thursday and their stock prices dropped. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.
For example, the chart above shows WIN with 5,012,473 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.72000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.

This seal is the official emblem of the City of San Antonio. It was designed in 1925 by Johannes C. Scholze,
a resident of San Antonio. Scholze created a wood carving that includes an Alamo at the top, the Lone Star of Texas, and
the words "Libertatis Cunabulae" which is Latin for "Cradle of Liberty."
The emblem was not designated as the City's Official Seal until 1981. At that time, City Council approved it to be used to identify the City on all official documents and papers and it is still used for that purpose today.

West Village
Perhaps more than any other NYC neighborhood, West Villagers are obsessed with their neighborhood.
For instance, many forgo basic privacy by making two-bedroom apartments accommodate four roommates and embrace sleeping in a room with enough space for a bed and nothing more. They also give up...cash to live in one of the city's most expensive neighborhoods.

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

Oil and water don't mix. In fact, oil floats on water. This makes breaking up the oil in a big oil spill hard to do. The oil in this photo has been "corralled" by hose-like booms. Now the oil must be broken up into droplets. If the droplets can disperse through the water, they will eventually break down.
Why It Matters
- On April 20, 2010, the largest oil spill in U.S. history began. British Petroleum's (BP's) Deepwater Horizon oil well in the Gulf of Mexico started leaking. It continued to leak for 87 days until the well was finally plugged. During that time, it leaked a total of 4.9 billion barrels of oil into the Gulf.
- Countless numbers of birds and other organisms were covered with oil or harmed by its toxic effects. The local economy was devastated.
- BP sprayed a chemical compound called a dispersant on the oil. Like dish detergent, the dispersant helped to break up the oil. However, it didn't prevent the oil from sticking to things, such as bird feathers. The dispersant was also toxic. It had been shown to cause genetic mutations and cancers in living things. The combination of dispersant and oil was later shown to be 52 times more toxic than the oil alone!
- Images of oil-covered birds inspired two researchers at the University of Mississippito do something to help. But they weren't biologists. They were physical scientists. Their goal was to invent a new dispersant, one that was nontoxic and would also prevent oil from sticking to things like bird feathers. Do you think they were successful?

KIEV, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- At least seven people were killed in clashes in central Kiev on Thursday morning, bringing the death toll of the three-day violence to 35, said the Ukrainian Health Ministry.
"On Thursday, a total of 60 people sought medical assistance from the ambulance crews, five of whom were hospitalized in serious condition," the press service of the ministry said on its website.
The ministry did not specify the number of deaths on each side of the conflict.
Meanwhile, local media, citing data from the opposition medic camp, put the death toll on Thursday at 13 demonstrators, saying that most people died from bullet wounds.
The renewed clashes between the anti-government protesters and police officers erupted in Kiev earlier in the day despite efforts between President Viktor Yanukovych and the opposition leaders to stop violence and end the standoff.
On Wednesday, Yanukovych and opposition leaders announced a truce in central Kiev to prevent further bloodshed after the outburst of violence earlier on Wednesday.
Protests began in November in the country when the government backtracked on a trade deal with the European Union and tilted toward Russia instead.

Family: Muridae, Mice and Rats view all from this family
Description A robust vole with a relatively short tail and compressed muzzle. Dull brown above with a gray belly. Immatures slightly darker than adults. Winter pelage is thicker and finer than the sparser, coarser summer coat.
Dimensions 140-195mm, 33-64mm, 33-65g
Endangered Status The Florida Salt Marsh Vole, a subspecies of the Meadow Vole, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Florida, where it is found in only one location, at Waccasassa Bay in Levy County. This single population, separated from the rest of the species after the last ice age, is very small, and extremely vulnerable to complete extinction. Climatic changes over time, and the resultant change in vegetation, are thought to have shrunk its range to its current extent. Nowadays storms, flooding, and human alteration to its habitat are the greatest threats facing it.
Breeding Distinguished from other voles by unique dental characters: five closed triangles on first lower molar, three transverse loops and no triangles on third lower molar, four closed triangles with a posterior loop on second upper molar, and three closed triangles on third upper molar.
Habitat Swamps, marshes & bogs, Lakes, ponds, rivers & streams, Meadows & fields, Forests & woodlands, Alpine & subalpine habitats
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion The subspecies M. p. dukecampbelli known only from Cedar Key, Florida, is Endangered. This is the most prolific mammal on Earth, and occupies moist grassy fields and meadows over much of northern North America.

text: Migration Info The fall migration of this species is a spectacular phenomenon, as virtually all of the world's population of Swainson's Hawks funnels through Central America within a few days. Until very recently, these hawks were thought to disperse across the whole of South America, and no one really knew where or how they spent the northern winter. Not until 1995 did biologists discover the relatively small area in the pampas of Argentina where these hawks spend the winter feeding almost exclusively on grasshoppers. While studying a population of Swainson's Hawks in eastern Oregon, biologists noticed that there were years in which as many as 40 percent of the breeding birds were not returning in the spring. This led to the radio-tracking of a bird to the previously unknown wintering grounds in Argentina. What the biologists found there was shocking: The hawks were feeding on insects that had been treated with pesticides and were dying by the thousands. Conservationists appealed to the Argentines, who made several changes in their pest-control practices, which have reduced Swainson's Hawk mortality.

Much Ado About Nothing (2009)
By Lynne Collins
Wars take center stage in the first scene of Much Ado About Nothing. The first is the war from which Don Pedro and his men return. This war isn't named and doesn't appear central to the plot, so it is useful to consider why Shakespeare chooses to identify the men as victorious warriors. War in the background answers a number of questions about why these men behave as they do. Don Pedro and Claudio are military men who have just returned from a lifeand- death struggle and are ill-equipped for the gentler rhythms of civilian life. Don John has fought against his brother in this war; he has been defeated, but his war is not over. Benedick is a brave soldier, but he must discover a very different kind of courage in the battle with his heart.
The second war is the "merry war" of love. The weapon in this war is words—a witty and charming weapon in the hands of Beatrice and Benedick, but deadly in others.' Don John drips poisonous words into Claudio's ears. Claudio is not satisfied merely to abandon Hero but slanders her publicly in order to destroy her completely. Beatrice sees the weapons of war and slanderous words as one and the same: "… men are turned into tongue, and trim ones too: he is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it."
Much Ado exists in the shadow of war, but love and laughter have the final word. I have set our production in Barcelona in 1934, just two years before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. In the fall of 1934, the nationalist forces believed they had put down a revolution and that a full-blown civil war had been averted, but a raging battle of rhetoric and lies would soon make a civil war inevitable.
While we have set our production in turbulent times, Much Ado is above all a romantic comedy that explores two very different kinds of love. Beatrice and Benedick defy tradition and accept that they are "too wise to woo peaceably." Claudio and Hero follow social conventions and embrace an uneasy peace. Barcelona embodies the same balance of the modern and the traditional. The Modernist buildings of Gaudí stand beside Gothic cathedrals. The music of church organs and the sensual Spanish guitar are equally central to the city's sound. Both Much Adoand Barcelona embrace the tension of old and new, dark and light, betrayal and love.
In Barcelona, Leonato learns from a messenger that the Prince of Aragon, Don Pedro, is returning home after a victorious battle. Don Pedro arrives, accompanied by the soldiers Benedick and Claudio and his half-brother Don John. Benedick and Leonato's niece, Beatrice, exchange quips, and Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter, Hero. He privately confesses his feelings to Benedick and Don Pedro, and the Prince devises a plan by which he will pretend to be Claudio at the evening masquerade, confess his (Claudio's) love to Hero and woo her.
After dinner, a discussion about men leads Beatrice to swear off all husbands, echoing Benedick's earlier anti-marriage remarks. The revelers enter and the dance masquerade begins. Beatrice mocks Benedick when they dance together, although it is not clear if she recognizes him beneath his disguise. Don John takes the opportunity to misinform Claudio that Don Pedro is in love with Hero, and Claudio naively believes him. Claudio's melancholy increases when Benedick unwittingly plays into Don John's lie. However, Don Pedro is true to his word, brings the two lovers together and even swears to unite Beatrice and Benedick. Don John is disheartened by the revelry, and Borachio proposes to destroy Hero's engagement by tricking Claudio and Don Pedro into mistaking Margaret (Hero's waiting-woman, and Borachio's lover) for Hero during a passionate exchange with Borachio. Meanwhile, Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro pursue their plan to trick Beatrice and Benedick into marriage. When the three men find Benedick hiding in the orchard, they fool him into believing that Beatrice loves him. Benedick falls for the ruse and decides to return Beatrice's love.
When Hero and Ursula (Hero's other waiting-woman) discover Beatrice spying in the orchard, they similarly trick Beatrice into believing that Benedick has amorous feelings for her. Beatrice is duped and decides to requite Benedick's feelings. In the meantime, Claudio and Don Pedro tease Benedick for his newfound love, and he leaves them to speak with Leonato. Later, Don John tells Claudio that Hero is not the virtuous maid she appears, and invites Claudio and Don Pedro to witness proof of her infidelity that night. After Don John's plan is executed, Borachio and Don John's man Conrade stumble into Dogberry and Verges's hidden night watch. Borachio drunkenly tells Conrade of his part in the conspiracy against Hero and is overheard by the Watch and apprehended. The next day, Margaret and Hero tease Beatrice about Dogberry and Verges attempt to tell Leonato about the arrest, but in his great rush, the governor is dismissive.
At the wedding, Claudio rejects Hero on grounds of her immodesty. She faints, and Claudio and Don Pedro hurriedly exit. The Friar, believing in Hero's innocence, concocts a plan wherein she is to pretend her death, both to turn Claudio's slander into remorse and to bring the truth to light. When Beatrice and Benedick are left alone, she makes him swear to kill Claudio. Meanwhile, Dogberry, Verges and the Sexton interrogate and document Borachio and Conrade's part in Hero's wrongful accusation, and it is discovered that Don John has fled.
Benedick soon challenges Claudio to a duel. Benedick exits, and the Constables bring forward Borachio, who confesses his part in Don John's plan. Claudio repents, and Leonato tells him that he must now restore Hero's tarnished name among the people of Barcelona. He also tells Claudio that he has a niece nearly identical to Hero (who in fact is Hero), and offers her in marriage to Claudio. Beatrice and Benedick strengthen their romance, and
Claudio delivers an epitaph at Hero's tomb. The next day, Hero is revealed to Claudio as still living, and the two couples prepare to marry. Finally, a messenger arrives with news that Don John has been found and will be punished.

Barcelona in 1934
Directors approaching Much Ado About Nothing must face the question of its emotional tone. While full of merry making and comic exchanges of wit, the play also possesses surprisingly dark undercurrents. Preparing for this production, director Lynne Collins was attuned to the presence of war as it looms over the world of the play. She decided to relocate Shakespeare's Messina to beautiful, but politically strained, Barcelona in 1934.
Spain at this time was, on the one hand, celebrating the birth of a new and idealistic government called the Second Spanish Republic. The Second Republic advanced many positive initiatives associated with socialism, and its 1931 Constitution was dedicated to reshaping civil rights. For example, laws on civil marriage, divorce, universal suffrage, the right of women to gain custody in the case of divorce, and equal distribution of land were all introduced. Despite the opposition of conservatives, the country was flush with optimism. This was especially true in Barcelona, a stronghold of progressive sentiment. George Orwell wrote, "Above all, there was a belief in the revolution and the future, a feeling of having suddenly emerged into an era of equality and freedom."
On the other hand, the Second Republic was controversial for its highly secular attitudes in predominantly Roman Catholic Spain. Resentment also grew among rich landowners and the traditional aristocrats. These growing tensions were apparent in the 1934 elections, which the conservatives won, leading to what has been termed biennio negro or the "two black years" of Spain. Although the socialist Popular Front regained power in the 1936 elections, the brewing tension erupted into a full-scale civil war that year, with the right-wing opposition led by military leader Francisco Franco. Franco would win the war in 1939 with the backing of Italy and Nazi Germany.
Pre-Spanish Civil War Barcelona captures the tension between idyll and war that is evident in Much Ado. The specific battle from which the men return at the beginning of the play is, in this production, a miner's strike in the town of Oviedo, known as the Asturian Uprising of 1934. This strike was a reaction against the right-wing CEDA government (Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas) that dismissed the values established by the 1931 Constitution.
Despite the dark tones of war that weave through the text, the play concludes on familiar, uplifting and comic notes. Romantic love and kinship prove victorious at the end of Much Ado.
Production Concept
Lincoln Center dramaturg Ann Cattaneo once asked, "How can a modern production honor and preserve the way a classical play] worked in its own time and yet allow it to speak to a society that is vastly different?" Many contemporary producers of Shakespeare respond to this question by creating a "period analogue" whose historical events can serve to underline a play's action and themes.
Director Lynne Collins sees 1934 Barcelona as a period analogue for Much Ado About Nothing that speaks to both the luxuriant elegance of Shakespeare's Messina and the looming presence of war. Additionally, placing the action in Spain underlines the play's sparkling, festive tones. According to scholar Edward Stanton, "Spain spends more time and money on collective celebrations than any country in the world. Masked revelers dance through the streets of Cadiz in Carnival … young girls adorn themselves with flowers from head to toe during the May festival in Almeria, … [and] bonfires burn on Atlantic and Mediterranean beaches for St. John's or Midsummer's Night."
Scenic designer Andrea Bechert's lush outdoor setting creates a sense of sensuality and play, and is influenced by the great Barcelona architect Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926). Gaudí was fascinated by organic forms, which he used in surprising and idiosyncratic ways. Gaudí's style perfectly suits Much Ado: not only is the action frequently set outside, in nature; it also flutters with idiosyncratic characters, romance and modern themes.

Anime Sushi AMV Contest 2014
Contest Day: March 2014
Deadline: Sunday, February 23th
Formats: Mpeg4, Mpeg2, Mpeg1, AVI (specific format instructions below)
Who can enter: Anyone
Prize for winning: Something good from our friendly donating companies, bragging rights, etc.
Contact: email at email@example.com, or at firstname.lastname@example.com
Do I need to read the rest of the rules?: Absolutely, you need to keep reading because there are quite a few things you need to be aware of if you want your video to actually qualify for the contest.
Thank you for your interest in Anime Sushi's AMV Contest at MegaCon 2014! This information will serve as a guide to the contest, the rules and regulations for entry into it. Included are pertinent dates, our submission guidelines, submission instructions and helpful tips on video compression and conversion for those that would like them.
The 2014 Anime Sushi AMV Contest will once again accepting only digital/online submissions. This is primarily due to convenience and partially due to our desire to simplify the entry and presentation methods. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone.
The deadline to have your video to us is SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23th, 11:59PM. After that we will no longer be accepting entries. NO Entries will be accepted at the convention since we need to judge and put together our presentation. Thank you and we're sorry for any trouble this causes. Also, the earlier you send your submission, the better. Putting this thing together takes time.
If you are not currently a member of the AnimeSushi.com forums, go and join - this is a great way to talk to your fellow submitters, ask questions, post in the AMV technical questions thread, review the rules, or just hang out and talk about plans for the contest.
All submissions that are going to be uploaded must be uploaded online (your own website, animemusicvideos.org, or a file share service like dropbox, google drive, or spideroak). A public link to the file must be sent to email@example.com/or email@example.com along with your entry information (see "Submission Instructions" for entry information details).
The following formats will be accepted:
Mpeg 4 (.mp4)
Mpeg 2 (DVD ready please)
Mpeg 1 (though this format has been sketchy for us before)
AVI (mpeg4, divx and DV compressed AVI's ONLY)
Please note, we DO NOT accept Windows Media (.wmv) files for the contest. Not only can we not convert them properly, the quality on them is usually awful.
If you have another format you would like to submit in, and you want to ask us about it, please email and we will consider it, or try to work with it, as long as it is high quality.
Files should be no more than 2GB in size, maximum. If you would like to submit a file larger than 2GB (probably no reason for it to be so large, but just incase), please email email@example.com or ask a question in the AMV questions thread on the Anime Sushi forum before uploading for special permission to do so.
We are also able to accept submissions over AIM/iChat or other messenger services, though this is not the preferred method of receiving submissions.
If you are unsure about which of these formats to use or are having difficulty converting your video, please consult the tips and tricks at the bottom of this document for suggestions and ideas you could potentially utilize to get your video into one of the required formats.
The Anime Sushi AMV contest is a contest in which music videos consisting of Japanese Animation source footage are entered, judged, and shown to an audience at Mega Convention in March. Videos must consist of footage from primarily Japanese Animation and/or Japanese video game and other Japanese animated media sources in order to be qualified for this contest.
Videos will be converted and burned to DVD and will be displayed for the contest via a DVD player. The reason for this is to ensure that the contest will not encounter any unfortunate technical difficulties, and because a single DVD disc is lighter than a video server computer. The contest is typically limited to two hours, though we reserve the right to adjust this if necessary. This limit means that some of the videos we receive may not be shown as part of the main contest. We regret that this sometimes needs to happen, but the contest consistently receives so many videos that we must either have an incredibly long show and risk people being unwilling to watch the contest, or eliminating some videos from consideration and competition. Videos that are eliminated from the main contest will be given to Anime Sushi's showing department for display during showing block breaks, or, may be entered into the Friday night AMV Inferno (at the video creator's discretion).
For ease of the transitioning your videos from digital files to DVD ready media, please be sure to follow these guidelines as closely as you possibly can. Also, since we will be converting videos for playback, please be sure that your video is in as high a quality format as possible as they conversion will not be kind to the look of lower-quality videos.
720x480 Pixels is Standard Definition video size for a DVD. If you submit a video at anything below 720x480, you run the risk of having your video look a pixelated when it is converted, so please BEWARE. Audio should also be as high a quality as possible, so please keep it 16bit/44.1k if at all possible. If you have a video at a higher resolution, 1080, 720, etc., that is fine, just understand that we will be bumping it down to SD for display, and we would rather have you decide how to preserve the frame size than us.
The maximum length for videos for this contest is 7 Minutes. Videos over 7 minutes will be disqualified. Please feel free to include studio bumpers at the beginning and end of your videos for identification purposes within the 7 minute limit.
You may submit ONE video for entry into this Anime Music Video contest. You may send along a second video for general showing and display purposes (these will likely be shown in a separate time slot and/or before/between other events), or may submit a different video to the AMV Inferno event, but only one video may be submitted for the Sunday AMV Contest. Please restrict extra videos to the same format guidelines and size constraints. For instructions about uploading your contest submission and possible extra video, please continue on to the submission instructions section below.
Anime Sushi reserve the right to cut any submission from the contest for content (i.e. excessive violence, sexually explicit, or other potentially offensive content) or for any other reason which we feel case the video to be "inappropriate" for viewing by the audience that will be in attendance. We have done this in the past mainly because we want the contest to be, if not "family friendly," at least not blatantly offensive. We have created the AMV Inferno event for videos that do not fit into the requirements for the AMV Contest, and if we are not able to show your video in the Sunday AMV Contest due to content, we will attempt to contact you to see if you would like to be entered, instead, into the AMV Inferno. Please note, though, that videos featuring hateful content in terms of race, gender, creed, etc., will not be admitted into the contest, nor will they be shown as any part of the video presentation at MegaCon 2014. We are open minded, but there is a line.
We will do our best to get every qualifying video submitted for the contest into the contest, but that is by NO MEANS a guarantee that we will be able to. Please be aware, this is something we do in our spare time, so if we have trouble with a video, rather than spend hours attempting to figure out what bizarre settings you used to create your video, we would prefer to move on and finish converting the videos of the people who followed our guidelines. We also reserve the right to change the contest and submission guidelines at any time.
Attendance at the convention is not required to enter the contest, nor is it required to win. The winners will be notified by email that they won, but the contest organizers will not be mailing any prizes to anyone who is not at the contest - if you want your prize or certificate, be sure to be at the contest. Entrance into the viewing room to the contest does require a convention admission wrist-band.
Entrants into the 2014 Anime Sushi AMV Contest must send an email to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com with "MegaCon 2014 AMV Contest Entry" as the subject line. In this email you should include:
1.) Your Real Name
2.) Your Studio Name / Nickname (if you have one)
3.) Your Video Title
4.) The Settings/Program you used to convert/edit/compress your video
5.) Your email address or other pertinent contact information (incase we have trouble with your video)
6.) Your Sushi Forum User ID
7.) A link to your video file (wherever it is)
Don't forget, we want files to be under 2 GB. Please be sure to name your files sensibly (with the title of the video, and your AMV creator name in the file name somewhere so we can identify the file).
Once your file has uploaded, and you have sent your email with your information to email@example.com please feel free to introduce yourself to the other forum members, send along an extra AMV for general showing, or just read what other Sushi members are talking about.
We prefer NOT to go outside of the bounds of these rules, but if it becomes necessary, we will consider requests for manual submission and alternate formats. If you find that you are unable to follow our guidelines and would like to suggest an alternate method of submission, please contact us.
Good luck!
Here are few quick tips for good quality audio and video, as well as helpful suggestions as to software that will allow you to compress your finished video into one of the required formats for contest submission.
First, start with good source material. This can be a deep, troubling philosophical question, but if you're starting with Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, etc., and you're planning on building a VERY ANGRY FIGHTING VIDEO WITH SCREAMING NUMETAL (aka wuss metal), sad as I am to inform you of this, you're not getting off to a good start and will be facing a very steep uphill battle to impress the judges (we've seen that video before... many... many... many times). In fact, if I have to watch any more videos featuring Linkin Park, I might lose it.
How you rip your material is also important. Use a good quality ripper, and a good converter. I love Mac the Ripper and MPEG Streamclip, personally, but that's me, and I'm a dork. There are SO many ripping/converting bundles out there (see a few listed below), so try a few, and pick the one that works for you. Yeah, it takes some work, but no one ever said making AMVs was easy... in fact, they usually say the exact opposite.
The software you use for editing your material can make a huge difference in your video's ultimate quality. You could invest in software, of course (Final Cut is great, Vegas Video is awesome, Premiere is good). Or, you could use the program that comes with your computer (iMovie or Windows Movie Maker)... which can be troubling. There are other free software bundles out there to be had (Wax, Zwei-Stein, and others, I'm sure, that a nice web search would turn up). Pick a software that won't get in the way of your editing, gives you lots of high-quality export options, and lets you work with high quality source material. That's the best way to go.
After you're done editing, try to compress your video with high bitrates (for instance, an mpeg4 should be no lower than 700kbps in bitrate, below that is a little grainy), and use "good" or "best" quality settings (like, between 75% and 100%) in your video software. Try to keep your source footage at it's original size, and use the highest quality footage available (like, DVD rips, for instance). Try to give us videos that are 720x480 pixels (dv25 default size) for clarity, and try to make your audio at 44.1kHz, 16bit (aka RedBook CD format, or the digital format on Audio CDs). If your only copy of the song is from an mp3, try to convert that mp3 into a 44.1kHz/16bit (or, better, yet, 48/24) .wav or .aiff file for the actual editing session, and if your software allows you to, export using "Enhanced sample rate conversion". And, please do your best to buy the CD of the artist who's song you're using. It's a nice thing to do, after all. For tips on how to get your videos edited, or into the right format, check outhttp://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ for a-m-v.org guides. Some great software for video conversion you should be aware of:
Tsunami Mpeg Encoder - The free version of this program will let you create a nice MPEG2 (and you get MPEG2 conversion free for a month or so, also perfect for our contest). http://www.tmpgenc.net/en/download.html
Virtual Dub - Great free AVI compression tool - http://www.virtualdub.org
Mpeg Streamclip - Phenomenal software, very useful - http://www.squared5.com/
Handbrake - Might be useful for someone, including it, why not.
Don't let anything get in the way of the artistic merit of your video shining through!

Dane County authorities search for missing man
Man last seen on June 30
MADISON, Wis. - The Dane County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding a missing man.
Matthew J. Graville, 27, was last seen on June 30 in Dane County.
Graville is considered missing/endangered due to the fact he has Asperger's syndrome, according to sheriff's officials.
He was living in Mazomanie with his family.
"Initially family members reported him missing to another law enforcement agency, and that case has now been transferred over to the Dane County Sheriff's Office," said Elise Schaffer, Dane County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Graville has blond hair and blue eyes, stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds.
"Any information that they can provide, if they know Matthew, think they've seen him, anything like that could be helpful. So I would encourage people to call, even if they think it's very small or minor information, you just never know what could really help us in this case," Schaffer said.
Authorities said anyone who has seen Graville since June 30 is asked to call the Dane County Sheriff's Office at 608-283-3971 or the tips line at 608-284-6900.

Comments about concealing spot treatment:
This has been the only Dermalogica product I haven't really liked. I only break-out around that time of the month and this treatment doesn't seem to do much for the light acne I get. I just have to ride it out. Also, you have to rub it in a bit, and the product seems to be too thin to be concealing. I have fair skin and it also didn't match my skin tone well, so I just use it when I'm at home and can put a little glob on and not rub it to blend it.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
I found the colour didn't really match with my skin and the coverage was poor. It didn't work for me.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
I love this concealing spot treatment. The pimples just disappear overnight when I apply it on my face straight away. I checked the ingredients are safe to use too. The colour suits my skin tone and it blends it well.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
Best acne product I ever used
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
I just started using this product a few weeks ago, and I'm really pleased with it. It clears pimples so effectively and matches my skin perfectly. Can't believe the low ratings on such a great treatment.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
This product works like magic.. Whenever I feel a pimple coming on I use this product and it works!!. Sometimes once gets the job done and at other times I use it for 2 or 3 days and I get great results.
Best Uses
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
It works well for me when I need to apply it when I have a moderate breakout. It helps dry out the acne and stop inflammation faster.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
I love Dermalogica products but this one was a real let down. It only comes in one shade - which on me (red hair and fair skin) is ORANGE! It might suit Donald Trump...
It's also really grainy - like an exfoliator - which makes the skin look dry and rough and 100% worse than before!
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
This product has gotten several negative comments about the tint, but for me it is fine. My skin is light (German/British heritage), and the tint is such that it camouflages the redness of acne, yet allows me to still go without foundation makeup if I choose to do so. It also works well. So for me, it's a win-win.
Comments about concealing spot treatment:
This product is much too dark and too yellow for my skin. There is no way I can blend this in and still conceal blemishes.

Q:Are there plans for a lighter shade?: Will this ever be available for light skin tones? I find that as I'm very, very light skinned/pale as a ghost, any breakouts and associated redness stand out more. I find this product is great at covering and treating them, but I just can't get away with it during the day as it's way too dark, probably only suitable for medium skin with yellow undertones.
