Translation Terrors of 4Kids - Part Two

09.12.2010 - 01:17 | Nonpython - Awesome as always.
09.12.2010 - 04:07 | SpecterM91I've got a few issues with this one. First of all, at least F-Zero's 4Kids theme sounded like something from F-Zero. When I think F-Zero, I think techno, metal, something fast paced like Shotgun Kiss or the Mute City theme. I don't think bubbly J-pop, that isn't how F-Zero works. Both themes are kind of terrible in that situation.
[url=http:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=gkWi6gKryBE]That's an F-Zero song right there.[/url]
The Kirby theme is garbage, too, but your main complaint was the title being put on repeat, and that's a valid criticism. But I'm fairly certain I heard the title a handful of times in the Japanese version, too. This is another case where they should've just plucked music from the game for both version.
You made a point about openings giving the gist of a story. But you turn around and use the Magical Do Re Mi theme as an example, saying it told the story well enough. How are we supposed to know if it told the story well? I doubt most of us speak Japanese, or we wouldn't be complaining about shows being butchered for English releases.
Most importantly, though... Don't you think this is a little dramatic? 4Kids does much worse, and I'm looking forward to the next videos to see you go into it, so why get so hung up on thirty seconds at the beginning of the show? Not hatin', just offering criticism. Can't wait for the next reviews.
09.12.2010 - 06:29 | KarutomaruWell Marzgurl, being a fan of 4Kids, I feel it's my duty to oppose your videos. I have a lot to say, but let's just take this one topic at a time. :talkbiz:
4Kids has an extremely talented music studio. Sure, there are a few openings I don't like, such as Sonic X and Magical Doremi, but for the most part they make catchy and high quality tunes that always depict the mood of what they're showing. :music: Be it TMNT, Yu-Gi-Oh, or One Piece (Kind of. I see something in it that reminds me of the show.) I thought you would mention the opening to Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, considering that they actually held a vote for what that one would be. I know I consider the English version of Viewtiful Joe to be perfect and I would never want 4Kids to lay a finger on it, but if they were to make an original American opening for it, I would like to see how that would turn out.
Also, if you're going to keep promoting rage against 4Kids, try to consider what was required in the Viewtiful Joe anime. They edited as little as they could when they aired it on Kids WB, but they still needed to change a few names and edit a few minor scenes for time restraints. Speaking of which, you could have used Viewtiful Joe as a way of getting around 4Kids' excuse. They had to change the opening for time restraints? Well Viewtiful Joe was able to use a shortened version of the original opening.
And why does everyone seem to target 4Kids specifically? Other companies have changed anime just as much or more than them. Hey everybody! Power Rangers is a completely edited American version of a Japanese show that they'll never release here! Let us commence with raaaaaaaaage! :flame: (Sarcasm)
09.12.2010 - 07:18 | KariWhy is it ever necessary to change a character's name? That's one of the tendencies of the company I just don't get. Kids are flexible and besides, have to learn new words all the time. If unusual sounding names were really going to throw kids for a loop, then the various creature names like Pikachu would do the same, and they'd have to call him "electric squirrel thing".
09.12.2010 - 22:38 | RurikI don't usually have an issue with changing names in most situations. It can make the show easier for kids to relate to if the characters have names they can actually pronounce and sound like ones they'd come across in real life. The changes to their names in the old Digimon Adventure dub were pretty good if you ask me, most of them were really just Americanised versions of their original names. About the only time it really bugs me is when a name is changed that was originally English to begin with, such as Rockman becoming Megaman, while leaving the remaining two thirds of the joke, Doctor Light and Roll, completely intact.
That said, I really hope you plan to cover Ultimate Muscle at some point in this series, you've shown footage twice now, so I'm hoping that means you will. Why? Because it's frankly just about the only thing 4Kids has ever managed to do right. They didn't even edit out the countless fart jokes, which is more than I can say for the Monster Rancher dub.
09.13.2010 - 00:19 | Asuka SoryuPronouncing the names isn't hard. I could understand spelling, but kids can easily learn to repeat the Japanese names.
I knew a kid who could sing the entire theme of Inuyasha. At the early development of language in the human mind, we learn by hearing and thus repeating. Since we don't have our language fully dug in at the time, it's easier to pick up foreign words right off the bat.
09.13.2010 - 03:11 | RurikTrue enough, however my point still stands. A normal sounding name is easier to relate to than one that isn't. Just like a character obsessed with pizza is easier for an average American child to relate to than a character obsessed with okonomiyaki. It would be unreasonable to think most American kids would know what that was, most American adults would even have to look it up. Heck, I wouldn't even know about it if I hadn't watched Ranma.
It's not just a matter of the children being able to pronounce it though, but also the voice actors. If the actor can't properly pronounce Ryusei, then any possible educational benefit that the child might have gotten will be lost. Plus you have to deal with the sort of people who get mad because of some minor error in pronunciation. Of course these are also the sort prone to getting mad just because you change Yomato to Matt, so it's a lose lose situation for them.
Again, I don't much care about either, unless it's something really stupid like the previously mentioned Rock/Mega, or the way 4Kids mistranslated Zoro to Zolo, which completely misses the point of his name. It's a really petty and pointless thing to be mad over, there are a LOT worse things that can happen to a dub, many of which are frequently committed by 4Kids as we'll no doubt see in this series.
09.13.2010 - 10:13 | KariThere are certainly worse things that can go wrong in a dub. I'm not arguing that the name thing is a complete tragedy, just that it's pointless. Kids are really NOT all that thrown by the unfamiliar. At a young enough age there is damn little that IS familiar. It's all new, so why try to limit their exposure? Besides, the very premise of most of the shows will be unfamiliar. If a kid can roll with the idea of summoning a monster out of a playing card or a red and white ball, the weird name of the guy doing it isn't going to upset them.
As for the pronunciation, yes, a lot of anime contains mispronounced names in the dubs. Usually it seems to involve putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable. It seems like that would be easy enough to fix, but if it isn't, then hey, at least that's an honest difficulty and not a dub company thinking their audience is a bunch of idiots.
09.13.2010 - 21:24 | RurikBy the same merit though, why [i]not[/i] Americanise a name for the dub? Renaming Jonuichi to Joey makes sense, even if the average American knew someone named Jonuichi they'd probably end up calling them Joe or Joey anyway just because it's shorter, easier to spell, and easier to say.
Now, I can understand if the show is set in a clearly defined Japanese setting where it would make more sense to keep the Japanese names, but a show like Yu-Gi-Oh! the exact setting is never made all that clear. Most of the characters don't really look Asian, of course neither do most anime characters, so if it makes it easier for the actors to say their lines by giving them names they can pronounce go for it.
Other shows, like Ultimate Muscle, it actually improves things, a lot of the names that were changed for that show were changed to parodies of actual wrestlers, Kevin Mask, Bone Cold, etc. which made the names fit better with the basic premise of the show, intergalactic professional wrestlers.
09.15.2010 - 23:07 | LadyEpicIts true
I watched DBZ you had japanese names and people named after foods, freezers, and underwear.....I think I connected to the characters JUST fine.
Same with Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin. There is nothing wrong with leaving the names as they are.
We kids aren't some mentally retarded people that we'll be confused by a "non-american" name or whatever the crap you want to say.
Because honestly....alot of us DID know kids with "non-american90stypical" names....seriously....Ame rica is a fusion of bajillions of cultures...try to keep kids from learning another...is plain moronic.
09.14.2010 - 02:31 | PLAThen call it veggie pancake. : p
It really is worst when they miss the joke, though.
09.19.2010 - 19:12 | Mavrickindigo - a responseits necessary to change a name sometime because "kaawatawashinobashinashi -sama!" doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well as "bob"
09.12.2010 - 11:37 | Lotus Prince - re:[quote=Karutomaru]And why does everyone seem to target 4Kids specifically?[/quote]
Gee, I don't know, maybe because they butcher openings, butcher characters, butcher entire plotlines, and treat its audience like kindergarten children who can't handle any kind of adult-themed anything, ever?
Hey, kids, remember that time the Marines in One Piece used water pistols, and Helmeppo's gun had a giant hammer at the end? No? Then perhaps you remember how Nami's foster mother isn't dead, but just trapped in a dungeon somewhere?
Defending 4Kids in general is one thing, but you'd better have some DAMN good reasons for your defense, when 4Kids takes a very adult-themed show like One Piece, and tries to market it toward infants.
09.12.2010 - 16:07 | ByrdMan - The Why 4kids?Even though 4kids is shit. its made for american children
which 96% of the ages 5-8/9 love 4kids if they saw it flawlessly translate the shows at least 100 lawsuits would go their way and kids would cry, so they'd rather dumb down children then lose money to lawyers or parents.
They "Americanized" to the levels only a retard forever blonde mental person would enjoy and kids like "pirates"
"monsters cards" and "deformed cute rat-rabbits" but if they saw it's flawlessly translate to english child would love 4kids and never stop but parents are overprotective so thats wy 4kids is bad parents :cool:
09.12.2010 - 19:14 | Gliblord
09.12.2010 - 19:43 | SqueejeeThe real problem is that if 4Kids manned up and marketed the shows towards kids with the occasional "adult" (I've read One Piece, and if you consider that adult your definition is very different from mine) theme left intact all that would happen is a fringe group of parents would go batshit insane and try (and fail) to get the shows pulled.
You know what that means? FREE MARKETING! Kids WANT to see things their parents disapprove of, or at least the things other kids' parents disapprove of. It makes them feel like they're older and mature and that they're sticking it to the man. I've been watching South Park since I was 10, and I assure you it was only because my parents didn't want me to.
And then the ratings for the shows go up and the advertisers have to pay more for the time slot and the network gets more money and 4Kids isn't facing financial ruin. Boom.
09.12.2010 - 17:46 | QarxActually, they censored out "Marines" with "Navy". THAT... I can't begin to understand.
09.18.2010 - 18:20 | argella1300
09.12.2010 - 13:20 | kungfujones
09.12.2010 - 20:32 | MegaZ900I don't remember MarzGurl ever mentioning that ALL 4Kids opening stunk, nor do I remember her saying anything about the talent of the music studio. Really, this video did more comparisons than it did rants.
Also, 4Kids is known for [u]excessive[/u] edits. I don't remember her saying that 4Kids is the only company who edits anime. We all know that Japanese culture is different from ours, so edits are required in order to take out things that are supposed to be inappropriate for children (in America, at least). Which is the more [u]reasonable[/u] edit: a panty shot in a kid's show, or a character's color change (notably, black to white) in a kid's show?
As for the Power Rangers thing... it's not even an anime... and at least its opening was kick-butt... XD
04.11.2012 - 02:32 | TheBoyWithTheTopHatI wouldn't deny they have musical talent - in fact I find it's their only talent. However, music is not enough to repay the fans for butchering shows which would otherwise be viewed as good anime. Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, in particular, have suffered a very bad reputation because of 4Kids.
We target 4Kids specifically because it's the most prominent editor in the Anime World, and it is often because of this that they create major plot holes that make no sense.
09.12.2010 - 06:39 | stika - re:[quote=SpecterM91]I've got a few issues with this one. First of all, at least F-Zero's 4Kids theme sounded like something from F-Zero. When I think F-Zero, I think techno, metal, something fast paced like Shotgun Kiss or the Mute City theme. I don't think bubbly J-pop, that isn't how F-Zero works. Both themes are kind of terrible in that situation.
I agree, I didn't particularly enjoyed either intro. But i'd take the US intro (and this is the first time I've heard either of them).
Like I said, I didn't particularly liked either, but the US intro actually sounded like a theme from the games. The Japanese song was just out of place
I'd get why you'r prefer the Japanese version if you like J-Pop, but how popular is J-pop outsided Japan in the first place? I can't really blame them for changing the theme
09.12.2010 - 13:00 | mr_rubinoSimple: Pop is forgettable saccharine nonsense full of cliches and troubling implications, rubber-stamped by heartless corporations who seemingly release the same song with some words changed and a new disposable voice singing it every few months.
J-pop is A :nuu: R :nuu: T!! :gah:
09.12.2010 - 17:39 | HichcootGarbage. . . J-pop is garbage!
You know other thing that I notice that piss me off... when people say ´´ Real anime fans hate this`` or ´´real anime fans love this`` like she did in this video... way to sound pretentious, like your fandom for anime is better if you hate this thing...

09.12.2010 - 06:42 | Mr. Awsome
09.12.2010 - 06:54 | pap64Here's something I wish MarzGurl would have addressed: I heard that when anime companies license new shows they also have to separately license the music as well, meaning that they have to pay extra to get the songs and the musical score, hence why often they would create their own songs for cheap. Is this true? It would explain why 4kids made their own songs.
Anyways, I confess that I think some of these songs aren't that bad. For example, I prefer the 4kids Pokemon theme over the original Japanese. Call it nostalgia, but it sums up the world of Pokemon pretty well and the melody is much better.
The first Yu-Gi-Oh theme, you move, is also very, very catchy and dramatic, once again fitting for the series. I personally enjoy both versions of the Kirby song. I like how the Japanese has a very bouncy and happy feel to it, while the American version is very jazzy and catchy.
Shaman King had a nice theme song, but I never heard the original so I can't compare. The Japanese F-Zero theme is definitely better, but that's because I prefer J-Rock over bland techno :snicker: .
One Piece was definitely the worst song of them all, simply because it sounded like a bad imitation of a rap song. It definitely was repetitive and even insulting to the audience. I mean, I can just imagine the execs and the creative theme going "Hey...kids like hip-hop, right? Well, let's do a rap intro for the cool kids!".
But overall, while I tend to agree with MarzGurl a lot of the time, I feel as if her argument here is "Japan is better". Not all of the songs in this video are bad.
Despite this, however, the censoring episode should be great to watch.
09.12.2010 - 13:01 | mr_rubinoReminded me a lot of the rapping theme for Robin Hood Men in Tights.
I hope they weren't going for that.
09.12.2010 - 06:59 | LactheWatcher
09.12.2010 - 12:58 | NCscriticyeah, I really like the Sonic X English theme too. Now, the actual CONTENT of the 4Kids Sonic X, good God was that a massacre!
09.12.2010 - 07:04 | DoctriniusI can't believe you're complaining about the Pokemon intro; it's amazing, and outshines the Japanese by far. Just my opinion, of course, but damn, it kicks ass.
Other than that, though, seems like you're pretty much on the money.
09.12.2010 - 07:07 | Doublehelix_ca - One Piece + 4KidsMarzGurl, MarzGurl, MarzGurl, why didn't you mention the fact that 4Kids had actually done a translated version of the original Japanese opening and had released it as a promo.I feel that is the real reason the 4Kids opening is hated, that they had something GREAT but instead chose Mediocrity (and horrible).
On a side note, there is only ONE anime I feel that they did well with ... Ultimate Muscle. If you have a different opinion, please reply.
09.12.2010 - 08:57 | whatever42I've never seen their Ultimate Muscle, so I can't really agree or disagree with you. However, of the anime I've seen, I can't think of one that 4Kids did right.
As for their openings, they occasionally did one okay. I thought the opening to Shaman King wasn't so bad, the opening to Pokemon has always been okay, and they did Magical DoReMi alright I suppose.
However, that does not make up for the things they have done wrong. I always hated their Kirby opening and seeing it every time I tried to watch the show made me against it. The Sonic X opening wasn't very good either. That's not even getting into the absolute utter garbage and crap the 4Kids One Piece opening is. I'm just amazed how someone could go from "We Are" to that. It makes me so mad. :angry:
Anyway, I'm just waiting for when you really get into what they did to One Piece. It's always good to hear more people say how they ripped out the soul of the show.

Well actually power rangers has a completely different story than the original super sentai its taken from. In fact sometimes they have original rangers and orginal footage for fights.
And I agree 4kids music isn't really that bad and I don't really mind them.
09.12.2010 - 08:39 | Shinigami305 - re:What you are saying may be true as far as catchiness goes, but that's where they end in value. Marzgirl is targeting not only the fall flat lyrics, but their value in storytelling. Me I like the One Piece intro by 4kids but if I were to take a moment and look at the difference of the lyrics they are miles apart. Also the consistent feature in anime openings is that they have a certain poetry and elegance to them: Mermaid Forest, D. Grayman, Basilisk, etc... they are beautiful songs that make you want to stop and listen. While these may be shows for older audiences it doesn't change the point Marzgirl is trying to make is if it's not broke don't fix it.
09.12.2010 - 07:24 | HarryCane4kids, I can safely say there the reason I pefer subs. Fan sub or Official sub I dont mind. Just damn 4kids.
Thats why I like YuGiOh abriged. They follow the Original Japanese language aswell as the 4Kids translation. And show and make fun off the translation and how 4kids butchered the series, more then their Abridged spoof has XD
o_O Sharman king original japanese intro is cool. wait... No, NO! You got the damn English theme in my head! Again...
And I never liked One Peice because we got the 4Kids verson here in the UK. And I can blame the intro for putting me off the series!
Great rant about 4kids. 5/5 I liked it XB
09.12.2010 - 07:25 | princeshadowYou know, all I hear whenever I look at any of your videos is "Bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan"

Is her complaining unjustified? No? Then be a dear and shut the hell up until you have something productive to say. Don't like Marzgurl's videos? Then do us all a favor and don't watch them so we don't have to hear your whining. Unlike 4Kids' shows, Marzgurl's videos are directed toward a mature audience.
09.12.2010 - 13:42 | DreamPhasePrinceshadow, I couldn't agree more. Then again, I'm not too sure what you were expecting from a fucking weebo.
Dreamin', don't give it up Luffy.
Dreamin', don't give it up Zolo.
Dreamin', don't give it up Nami!
Dreamin', don't gi-give it up give it up give it up give it up give it-no!
09.13.2010 - 00:29 | Asuka Soryu
09.13.2010 - 15:29 | DreamPhaseWow, you can't even spell "which" right - a REAL word in English, not some bullshit Asian word made up on the internet. I think the only thing stupid here would be to actually listen to a word you say, as you obviously don't have the mental capacity to respect the opinions of those who aren't weebos (I shall spell it as I wish) such as yourself.
09.14.2010 - 21:35 | Sandie Sandwicheadman[color=red]It's Weeaboo, guys. Ten seconds on Google.
Also, I like the American one piece opening, as the Pokemon and Kirby ones. The rest I'm mostly indifferent on. I strongly dislike J-pop, and think the only Jap Cartoons with great songs are FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, and Hellsing, which all had rock or jazz themes.[/color]

09.12.2010 - 08:45 | SylveriaI say this not being a fan of One Piece in any incarnation of it (not that I don't like it.. I just never watched it) but I would take the 4kids intro over the original one.
Yes its a stupid abomination of a rap song.. but at least it's something different and, whether you want to admit it or not, it's kinda catchy.
Maybe it's cause I can't speak the language, but the Japanese one, as far as the music and tone of the lyrics, sounded painfully generic as far as Japanese intros go.

If you don't like the original opening, that's okay; One Piece has more than ten openings at this point. Surely you'll find at least one of them that you like. :P
I particularly enjoy "Believe," the second opening.
09.12.2010 - 14:10 | Lodevijk
09.12.2010 - 07:30 | JiCiUgh... to quote a famous Fall Out Boy song: "Thanks for the memories"...
Pokémon was probably the anime adaptation that was the closest to the original. They kept the story, the in-game references and even the [b]music[/b]. That's right, most of the music in this adaptation is all taken from the japanese version, which in terms is taken from the game.
But when 4Kids got to shows like Kirby, Sonic X and F-Zero, they didn't went all the way for the references. For example, F-Zero has the music for the various games, but not the adaptation. Sonic X even had "Live and Learn", Sonic Adventure 2's theme, in one episode in japanese... but not in the adaptation. Seriously, you've done for one video game show, but not for the rest ???
4Kids's One Piece pretty much killed most of the anime market in North America... nice going 4Kids...
The company is pretty dead from what I've seen. Pokémon got bought by "The Pokémon Company", which is an affiliate of Nintendo, and also explained the change of actors, Peter Laird sold the rights of TMNT to Nickelodeon and FUNimation salvaged One Piece, Sonic X and Shaman King; 4Kids can pretty much only count on Yu-Gi-Oh! and Chaotic.
4Kids should close, no question asked...
09.13.2010 - 20:53 | SakariiActually... I do think that in regards to Pokemon, 4kids only kept most of the music in the beginning. Definitely after Kantou 4kids had already stopped using the Japanese music and used their own most of the time.
The Pokemon Company keeps more of the music than 4kids by the time they lost the rights.
At least, according to Dogasu's Backpack.

09.12.2010 - 07:33 | LordNathanielI remember watching One Piece back when I was younger, lord knows how long ago that was.... I used to think the opening was alright.... Oh god how wrong I was.... I'm so sorry. T_T
09.12.2010 - 07:35 | Hotaru-oz4Kids is the devil, thank god they never got the license for Pretty Cure.
09.12.2010 - 07:36 | VampireAppleOkay, I know I'm going to be totally opening myself up for a blasting here. I will preface it with the fact that I [i]hated [/i]the 4kids One Piece intro. Put me off the anime/manga for years. It wasn't until this summer that I started reading it because there was nothing else. It wasn't until after Sanji joined that I was able to get that damn song out of my head and enjoy what I was reading. Then later I picked up the anime and fell in love with the Japanese version.
Anyways, I found an AMV with the 4kids opening, and I have to admit, they did a good job with it.
As I go look for the link to post it here, Youtube has said that the adobe flash plug in has broken. So I'll post the link here anyways.
http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eXcK1SDjrI0
The title is One Piece tribute and the person who made it is effdl. They also have another cool One Piece video called One Piece - How to Save a Life - Nakama Tribute.
Yeah... So check those out.
Anyways, I loved the video MarzGurl. And I agree about the Shaman King opening, and the endings for all of them. Sometimes I even like endings better then openings.
09.12.2010 - 07:39 | DVAnt4Kids has certainly messed up some good theme songs in it's time, but modern anime series aren't necessarily all that much better in their native land, what with many of the popular series' OPs and EDs being little more than advertisement for whichever artists Sony P&G wants to push at a particular moment.
09.12.2010 - 07:39 | PLAI had no idea the 4kids One Piece opening was so bad. I had heard it was different, but I thought it would be more like the german version. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=BuxIJNfp288
All about finding the treasure.
09.12.2010 - 07:39 | takineko
09.12.2010 - 11:45 | excelladonYeah but that was nelvana's take.
09.12.2010 - 07:39 | PhoenixRangerFeathermanR - i grew up on this shiti don't care about intros every much. i don't think 4kids intros are bad cause i am use to them. to be honest i hate all three version of one piece first intro it gets better later for me. in my mind your overreacting a little to much. but if that's whats you think feel free to feel that way. although i would love it if 4kids actually release uncut versions of they show =_= . also if i remember right aren't they people who want 4kids to do the voices the Pokemon anime again. i don't know or care. i'll keep watching though
09.12.2010 - 07:44 | FunkyMAwesome Epic Trailer intro vs Bog-standard J-rock Song? Marzy, you know I love ya, but on Yu-gi-oh, YA DUN GOOFED.
And I must confess, that a lot of the gripes against these intros is that they're "Too American". At least that's what I hear.
I'm not defending it, I remember a parody advert featuring the Wombles, Furry Stop-motion sockpuppets of London's Wimbledon Common, being relocated to New York's Central Park, and how bad of an Idea that was...
I just think you've overplayed things a little with this video. But hey, that's my opinion. Thanks for the space to air my view. I go! =)
09.12.2010 - 07:45 | NatluvsAnime
09.12.2010 - 07:45 | hobojebusI tried watching the 4kids onepeice once, never have i felt so repulsed by an anime, friends have tried to get me to watch the original but i just cant.
09.12.2010 - 07:46 | NatluvsAnime
09.12.2010 - 07:52 | DRjkl924Haha The One Piece Rap is a big inside joke within my group of friends. We all know the lyrics and whenever we see anything One Piece related we just break into it. But yeah that theme is BAD. But I can't help but whistle "Yiyo YI YO" to myself sometimes.....ughhh it will never leave...it's like Ducktales...
09.12.2010 - 07:52 | kaymazingok well here's my opinion, Dinosaur King and Pokemon are both solid openings because there cheesy in a good way, especially pokemon with its whole epicness going for it. Now I agree with you with most other examples except one
Sonic X is a cool song! if I had that on my ipod I would totally rock out!
Thats the only problem I had with your video, is that you failed to mention everything is someones own personal preference.
09.12.2010 - 08:00 | jbondsr - 4Kids: A victim of the times?I agree that 4Kids sucks big time.
I also feel that they were a victim of the times.
We were at a point where we had much more exposure and access to the original Japanese versions of shows.
I bet a lot of us felt that shows like Power Rangers were awesome at the time, but if they were just being released (like this year), we'd be like "WTF?!!"
I think that if 4Kids was around in the same period as a lot of the Saban Entertainment stuff, they would have done reasonably well.
Also, 4Kids had another English intro made before the crappy rap version.
[url=http:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZrHO6DtFJ-Y]here[/url]
Still not as good as Funimation's version, but 100^infinity times better than the rap.

International Conference of Women Entrepreneurs Held in Kosovo
The 1st International Conference of Women Entrepreneurs was held in Kosovo on October 28-29, 2010. The conference brought together more than 170 participants from the business community, state agencies, financial institutions, international and national organizations, prominent businesswomen, as well as representatives from national businesswomen associations from more than 13 countries from around the world. The idea for the conference was strongly endorsed at the Presidential Summit on Women Entrepreneurship held in Washington D.C. (April 25-27, 2010), where women agreed that they would work together to improve the economic situation of women entrepreneurs around the world. The idea of a conference soon received a huge interest among women business leaders in Kosovo, Europe, the USA and the Middle East. SHE-ERA Board of Directors strongly supported the idea and the project as well, indicating that they would work together with the staff of SHE-ERA to make the conference possible.
The conference in Kosovo kicked off with a video address from Ambassador Melanne Verveer, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues. Ambassador Verveer identified women's economic empowerment as critical to economic growth, but recognized that women still face many challenges when starting or expanding their businesses. She then commended the panelists and participants for their work in removing these obstacles and working towards advancing women's economic empowerment. Ambassador Verveer was followed by Michael J. Murphy, the Deputy Chief of Mission to the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo, discussing the role and importance of women's entrepreneurship in Kosovo.
Next, panelists, many whom are prominent businesswomen, shared their success stories and personal experiences. They described the reasons that compelled them to start their businesses, the road they had to take to get to where they are today, and the obstacles they have overcome. During their presentations, the panelists also shared many useful lessons, tips and advice. Panelists and participants also identified several obstacles to women entrepreneurship and drafted a set of policy indicators that national governments and their respective ministries, private sector support institutions, and civic interest groups can use in response to boost women's entrepreneurship and start-up's. The aim of the indicators is to serve as a framework for new policies that will increase women's contribution to the economy and improve their integration in labor markets.
The conference provided an excellent platform for the exchange of experiences and good practices for further advancement of women entrepreneurs' networks and the number of speakers and quality of presentations provided valuable insight and useful networking opportunities. To learn more about the conference, the panelists, and the policy indicators you can read the full conference report here.

Win the Performance Tug of War!
James Gehrke:
Posted on Friday, May 10, 2013 9:33 AM
Like a tug of war, productivity during change can be affected positively and negatively by restraining forces and driving forces respectively. Productivity can reach a state of equilibrium between these two opposing forces. However, this balance can be punctuated by a disturbance in one or both of the opposing forces. Therefore, at any given time, the productivity can go up or down depending on the strength or weakness of either the restraining or driving forces. This view of change and transformation is known as punctuated equilibrium.

A Modern "Inward Pilgrimage"
Posted on Monday, June 25, 2012 4:57 PM
Sadly, we are often so distracted by constant change and daily pressures that we never stop and reflect upon our own uniqueness as individuals. In the middle ages, pilgrims believed that through the sacrifice of completing a pilgrimage to distant lands they would achieve new levels of understanding and enlightenment. To achieve our full potential, we must embark on an "inward pilgrimage" of personal development and mastery.
In the summer of 2009, on my first day retracing the 500+ mile medieval pilgrims' route across northern Spain, I stood on a bridge that spanned both a small river and more than ten centuries of "pilgrimage" history that today is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

New Year's Resolutions & Your Personal Leadership "Pilgrimage"
James Gehrke:
Posted on Friday, January 06, 2012 1:29 PM
For most of us, the New Year is a time for setting goals; when we look forward with anticipation to conquering past obstacles; bridling bad habits; mastering our actions; and achieving new heights in personal and organizational performance!
While the New Year is a great time for goal setting; if you are like me; all too often, the excitement and determination for achieving our goals is not sustained very long past Jan 1; after which we unfortunately, all too easily, slip back into old habits, once day-to-day routines distract us from achieving our resolutions.

I don't wanna know
How far you can go
How deep you can run
Or how much there is to know
I don't wanna know
Where you came from
What you want
Or what you need
But everyone loves you
An enigma to me
And everyone needs you
To reach the end of the day
How special can you be?
Someone tell me please?
Wasted and aching
I can't feel you now
Lost and alone
Where are you now?
Are you even listening?
My heart beats slowly
Weaker each day
But maybe if I found you
Everything would be okay
But you've been lost
Where no one can find
And I don't even care
I can see through you
Through your clever disguise
I've seen the secrets that you hide
And now I know
Now I know I'm right
Wasted and Aching
I won't feel you now
Lost and alone
You were never here
But now I know
I know to live
And not to hide
Behind a superstitious side
I've woken up
And the world is cold and dark
But I regret nothing
Nothing at all

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
By Dan Pool, editor
Oh cruel fates. How clear in hindsight our many, many failings, our utter ineptitude to see what should have been so obvious. How could we have stood by, like a slack-jawed gapping fool, while ignoring what was certainly to be?
What was I thinking picking Louisville to win it all again.
Nobody ever repeats as the Final Four Champion -- except Florida, Duke and UCLA a whole bunch of times, but that was back when the players wore really short shorts and had sideburns.
When it comes to March Madness, what a philosopher really meant was, "Does anything in nature despair except man [who picked Providence to upset North Carolina and knows his NCAA basketball bracket is doomed on the first round of the Big Dance]?
Why do we trust our gut feeling and ignore the inexplicable stats showing that teams who dress in blue almost always win the championship? Why did we squander so many hours watching college students play basketball and studying bizarre stats with a false but confident hope that our Final Four bracket might be perfect and bring not only the billion dollars offered by investor Warran Buffet, but also the admiration of our own local college basketball prognosticators when we successfully foretold not only the champion, but the entire final four, nay, nay the entire Elite Eight, because it all looked so clear – before the first game started. Syracuse faced such light competition and yet…
Lost, all is lost and it wasn't just Louisville (a team coached by someone with an I in their name, which odd stats show is ubiquitous among final four teams).
But lo and behold, we saw so little. So many surprises, so many foolish gambits gone to naught.. Somehow we failed to see that lowly Dayton would rise up and crush us along with Ohio State in the very first game of the tournament – and yes, those of us who pick brackets take it personally.
At no time does an old man feel so foolish as when the facts come to light and he has hung his hopes on a false star. Really? North Dakota State to the Elite Eight? What was I thinking? Sure they were the best shooting team in the field, but my gosh you don't put a college that has never made SportsCenter that deep into the NCAA tournament.
There are times in life when we all get blindsided, unforeseen tragedy comes out of the dark and torments you. Damn you Mercer Bears, even if you are a home state team, at a 14th seed you don't knock out the mighty Blue Devils from Duke at #3 seed. You defied not only mathematical logic, but sports history. Sure, everybody hates Duke, but we also count on them to roll up some serious bracket points, before failing in a late round and then, and only then, becoming the object for vilification.
Other times in life those we count on the most let us down utterly. Kansas, I know you had troubles of your own (big injuries) but when we needed you to get by a lowly Stanford team. Where were you? I mourn your loss, but mostly I mourn that others correctly foresaw the Stanford victory.
I will take heart knowing, my own failure joins more than 11 million other faulty brackets at ESPN and up to 15 million more at Buffet's billion dollar bracket contest without one single perfect bracket – misery does love company and we'll all be back next season.

Canton Police Press Release
On Friday, November 22, 2103 at approximately 11:20 am an Armed Robbery occurred at Cartersville Jewelry Exchange, 1552 Riverstone Parkway Ste 170 Canton (Next to Wal-Mart). Two suspects entered the store armed with a handguns and demanded employees to get on the ground. They attempted to smash out the glass display cases to remove contents. The suspects may have taken some jewelry from the display cases (unknown dollar amount at this time).
District Commissioner Jerry Barnes told the other commissioners during a break in the budget hearings October 29th that a constituent had approached him recently saying he didn't care what they did with the budget as long as they could justify it.
Barnes said this might be the only person who has not advocated cuts in the county's $20 million preliminary budget as the three person board of commissioners continue work on the 2014 spending plans. "I was floored," he said.
"That is a rare sentiment," said Commissioner Becky Denney, who along with Commission Chair Rob Jones agreed that the prevailing sentiment among the public has been to cut, cut, cut.
This Tuesday, the commissioners reviewed the results from the preliminary hearings compiled in 500 page binders presented to the three commissioners.

Is the state of the U.S. economy operating at a new norm-if so, what is causing it?
By Rich Andersen, VC for Programs, Pickens County Republican Party
This is the topic for the Pickens County Republican Party's September 10, 2013 meeting to be held at the Appalachian Campus of Chattahoochee Technical College at 7 p.m. The speaker is Dr. Don Sabbarese, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Kennesaw State University.
Considering the high unemployment rate and the anemic state of the U.S. economy, the possibility that this is a new norm is disturbing.
Many external factors may be having a negative impact on the U.S. economy. Many of the Eurozone economies are struggling to escape their continued economic malaise, and the emerging economies of China, Brazil, Indonesia, and India are experiencing slower growth rates

HHS Launches Health Insurance Marketplace Educational Tools
On June 24, 2013, the Obama administration announced its launch of the Health Insurance Marketplace education effort with a new, consumer-focused HealthCare.gov website and the 24-hours-a-day consumer call center to help Americans prepare for open enrollment and ultimately sign up for private health insurance. The new tools will help Americans understand their choices and select the coverage that best suits their needs when open enrollment in the new Health Insurance Marketplace began October 1, 2013. Americans may now access new educational information and learn what they can do to begin to get ready for open enrollment this fall. The website will add functionality over the summer so that, by October, consumers will be able to create accounts, complete an online application, and shop for qualified health plans. For Spanish speaking consumers, CuidadoDeSalud.gov will also be updated to match HealthCare.gov's new consumer focus.
Open enrollment for the Marketplace startsed October 1, 2013. Plans and prices will be available online or in-person. Coverage starts as soon as January 1, 2014.
Health Insurance Marketplace
From the official Marketplace website: www.Healthcare.gov
The Marketplace is a new way to find health coverage that fits with users' budget and needs. The key features include:
- On one application, users can see and compare all of their health insurance options and enroll
- The application allows users to compare premium costs and find out if they can get lower costs on monthly premiums for private insurance plans.
- Users can find out if they qualify for lower out-of-pocket costs
- Information on whether users qualify for free or low-cost coverage available through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
- Information specific to the Marketplace in each state
Medicare Beneficiaries
Medicare is not part of the Health Insurance Marketplace. If a beneficiary has Medicare, whether through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, he/she is already covered by health insurance, and it is generally not to their advantage to join the Marketplace. The Marketplace will not affect Medicare choices, and Medicare benefits will not change based on developments with the Marketplace. However, Medicare beneficiaries, are free to compare their health insurance coverage with plans offered in the Marketplace, and switch from Medicare coverage if they choose (though this is not recommended).
Compare Options in the Health Insurance Marketplace
Insurance plans in the Marketplace are offered by private companies, and they cover the same core set of benefits called essential health benefits. No plan can turn a beneficiary away or charge based on illness or medical condition. They must cover treatments for these conditions. Plans also cannot charge women more than men for the same plan.
Find Your State's Marketplace
Marketplaces are run by either a particular state, or the federal government. Each state has chosen to operate one of the following:
- State-Based Exchange: The state creates and runs its own Marketplace
- State-Federal Partnership: The state partners with the Federal government to run some Marketplace functions
- Federally-Facilitated Exchange: The state has a Marketplace established and operated by the Federal Government
Click here to find out if your state is operating the Marketplace and get state-specific information using the menu on the official Marketplace website. If your state runs its own Marketplace, you must follow the link provided to get health coverage through your state's website.
Find Live and Online Assistance in Your State
Users can compare plans with a Marketplace Navigator, or other assistance personnel specific to your state. They will help you compare plans based on price, benefits, quality, and other features before making important health care choices.
Use the Find Local Help tool in states that have a Federally-Facilitated Marketplaces and State-Partnership Marketplaces on Healthcare.gov. If the state has its own State-Based Marketplace, the user will be informed of this when they put a zip code into the search box in the Find Local Help tool noted above, and will be given a link to their state's Marketplace website. All I&R/A staff are encouraged to become familiar with the Marketplace assistance personnel that cover your organization's area.
Click here for a CMS factsheet to understand the difference between Navigators, Non-Navigator In-Person Assisters, Certified Application Counselors, and Agents/Brokers.
Get help online, by phone, by chat, or in person
Phone 1-800-318-2596, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (TTY: 1-855-889-4325)

Power producers say import duty hike would affect tariffs
Jun 21 2012, 12:56 | By PTI
Private power producers have said that any hike in customs duty on import of power equipment, mainly from China, would lead to increase in electricity tariffs and would be a major impediment to inclusive growth.
In a letter to Power Secretary, Association of Power Producers Director General Ashok Khurana has written that fuel availability and pricing concerns, financing difficulties and poor health of distribution utilities have led to an increase in cost of power generation in many cases.
Association of Power Producers (APP), is a body representing private power companies in the countries. It asked the government to keep the decision on custom duty on imported power equipment in abeyance so that the power sector does not get exposed to further vitiating factors.
"Import of equipment for power projects has been a major contributor in the capacity addition in the 11th plan with almost 50% of the coal based capacities based on imported equipment," it said.
The Prime Minister's Office has asked the Power ministry to float a new Cabinet note on increasing duty on import of cheap equipment, mainly from China, and to provide a level-playing field to domestic manufacturers.

January – February 2014
An Evening with Author Deborah Solomon
5 pm Reception with wine for purchase, Loctite Lobby
6 pm Deborah Solomon in conversation with Robin Jaffee Frank, Krieble Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, and Erin Monroe, Assistant Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture
A book signing with the author follows the talk. American Mirror: The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell will be available for purchase in the Museum Shop and during the event. This event is free and open to the public.
As the star illustrator of The Saturday Evening Post for nearly half a century, Norman Rockwell is celebrated for his wholesome depictions of family and community, but the man behind these images was a surprisingly complex figure. In her latest biography, renowned art critic Deborah Solomon draws on a wealth of unpublished letters and documents to explore the relationship between Rockwell's despairing personality and his genius for reflecting America's brightest hopes.
In American Mirror Solomon perceptively explores Rockwell and his art alongside the development of visual journalism as it evolved from illustration in the 1920s to photography in the 1930s to television in the 1950s. In this engaging biography, she offers vivid cameos of the many famous Americans whom Rockwell counted as friends, including President Dwight Eisenhower, the folk artist Grandma Moses, the rock musician Al Kooper, and the generation of now-forgotten painters who ushered in the Golden Age of illustration. American Mirror brilliantly explains why Rockwell deserves to be remembered as an American master.
"[A] well-paced, insightful biography of the iconic illustrator . . . Solomon reveals an enormously complicated man whose wholesome vision of America was not merely commercial kitsch, but art that sprung from an emotional life fraught with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt . . . [Solomon's] substantive narrative captures the abundant complexities of this unusual artist, and reclaims him as a master storyteller." —Publishers Weekly

telnet command not found (Perfect Server ubuntu 8.04)
I used the available 8.04 image on Linode and began following the instructions on page 3 of the guide.
At the bottom of page 5 I'm told to
Did I miss something along the way for this to happen? Or am I an idiot missing something even more obvious :confused:
Help will be greatly appreciated.
google :
install telnet ubuntu
apt-get install telnet
thank you!
i figured it was something like that.
i actually had searched "install ubuntu telnet" on google prior to posting the question but found apt-get install telnetd
Not sure what that did, but it didn't work.
Thank you Falko for the help.

It always amazes me…
Posted by BarbaraZ on March 3, 2012
Here I am, wondering how to get myself in gear. I have started on this new journey and I am faltering… in several ways. It is like I closed the door or 'gate' when it comes to forward movement. I opened my email this morning and guess what I found… three emails with wisdom that should help me, if I put it all to work.
First Leo Babauta talks about the need to "Build the Muscle of Change." He compares changing the 'muscle' of mental change with actual building up of real muscle… it takes time and persistence! He has some great pointers to follow. Check them out.
I started training my change muscle in 2005, when it was weak and I could never make any lasting changes. I felt helpless, and didn't know what to do. I felt like I couldn't ever make changes.
But I've learned in the years since that the change muscle is like other muscles: you might be weak at first, but you get stronger with regular training.
Then the next email up is from Linda Hewett. She is sharing her post about Starting your Confidence Transformation. I definitely need this as mine is dragging a bit. So much at work, stress involved there and facing the unknown within my new direction. Again, it is all spelled out in simple steps, just like Leo's advice.
Step 1. Start your Confidence Journal.Nothing fancy, just a notebook to record your ideas about confidence as we go along.
You know you want to be confident, but what exactly do you mean?
What does confidence mean to you?
Think about this, and then write down…
'If I was more confident I'd be able to…'
Write down as many answers as you can, building a picture of how you'd like to be. Think of as many as you can!
As I am in the process of reading Linda's link… another drops in my mailbox. This one is from Galen Pearl. While she talks about finding Happiness despite the Obstacles, she includes points that fit me… at this moment when I am dealing with self-doubt.
The problem, of course, is that self-doubt often leads to immobility. We stop and hesitate and stutter in our steps toward the life we dream of.
But we can give ourselves permission to act in the face of our doubts. We can grant ourselves the right to be human. We can grant ourselves permission to doubt, and then rise above those doubts, letting doubt have its say, then ignoring its plea to remain in the spot we've stayed in for too long.
And yet self-doubt seems to keep finding its way back home despite the actions we take and the growth we experience.
I learned from Galen that this was a guest post by Ken Wert… who has a great blog Meant to be Happy
OK… that is it, Barb. You have lots to do and some great advice to follow. Get to it!! Thanks everyone!!

I hear ya! I too read wise words, understand what to do but struggle to do them. Good luck on the journey. Awareness is the start. Galen's guest post by Ken was very motivating!
March 4, 2012 at 9:53 am
As someone said, "Don't think; just do it." I need to put my thinker on hold too!
March 8, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Barbara, Glad you got some mojo boosting messages! We all need that! And thanks for including the post on my blog, but just to be sure that credit is given where due, that was a guest post from Ken Wert. He is indeed an awesome and inspiring writer. Hope you are now jazzed.
I see you posted something about Technorati. I'm trying to learn more about that. Might send you some questions, if that's okay. Not even sure what I need to know!

Near the middle of the Men's Tomorrow's Hits comes "Different Days," which captures so many feelings and frustrations with a yell of, "I hate being young." Now the Men have a music video that captures the same sentiment. Directed by Helge Mundt, the video came about through a contest held by Sacred Bone Records encouraging fans to film their own videos. The band chose Mundt's video, which follows a young guy as he exercises, drinks, smokes, and walks around to excess. Though he never talks, the song speaks through him and makes its message crystal clear. Watch it below.
Tomorrow's Hits is out now via Sacred Bones.

Reciprocity means that individuals who have completed the education and credentialing requirements in one country may be eligible for another country's credentialing examination if the two countries have entered into an agreement to allow this. CDR currently has registration eligibility reciprocity agreements with the following foreign dietetic associations and regulatory boards: Dietitians of Canada; Dutch Association of Dieticians and Ministry of Welfare, Public Health and Culture; the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission; and the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute.
Individuals who have met the qualifications established by these associations and regulatory boards should contact CDR directly at 312/899-0040, ext. 5500, to obtain information regarding establishing registration eligibility under the provision of CDR's reciprocity agreement with these associations and regulatory boards. If you are qualified under the provisions of a reciprocity agreement, proceed to the second item under the Questions Regarding Education and Credentialing Requirements section and follow this process before submitting the Registration Eligibility Application. It is important to note that all individuals who establish registration eligibility under the provisions of a reciprocity agreement must successfully write the Registration Examination for Dietitians.
The first step is to have your academic degree validated as equivalent to the bachelor's or master's degree conferred by a US regionally-accredited college or university. The summary section of the evaluation report MUST state "From a regionally accredited institution." Nonprofit agencies that perform this specialized service are listed here. Contact the agency for current information, procedure and costs.
In order to become a Registered Dietitian, an individual must complete the following three-step process:
We publish a complete list of all ACEND-accredited dietetics education programs. Programs are listed by program type: Didactic Program in Dietetics, Dietetic Internship and Coordinated Program and by state within each listing. This listing also provides a direct link to Program Directors through their e-mail address when available. Specific guidelines for acceptance, prerequisites, program content and financial aid, as well as an application, should be requested directly from each program.
View the complete list »
Although all DPD programs must comply with the ACEND Accreditation Standards, each program is uniquely designed. For this reason, requirements to obtain the DPD verification statement may vary from one program to another. You may wish to contact one or more of the DPD Program Directors in your geographic area concerning the evaluation process. It is important to note that policies and procedures and costs for the evaluation may vary from one institution to another. Because additional coursework is likely to be required, you may need to enroll in the college or university before your transcripts will be evaluated. Using the program's policies, the Director will review the equivalency report of your previous academic preparation from one of the evaluation agencies listed below, plus copies of all transcripts. Following this evaluation, you will be advised regarding the additional coursework necessary to meet the academic requirements for the verification statement. Verification statements signed by the DPD Program Director will be issued after completion of all academic requirements. This Verification Statement is proof of completion of ACEND academic requirements (refer to the RD flowchart).
You must complete an ACEND-accredited Dietetic Internship. The application process is competitive and an applicant may apply to any number of DI Programs. A computer matching process with specified deadlines is used for most DI appointments. The DPD Program Director and the listing of the ACEND-accredited Programs below are all resources for you in the application process. Contact the DI program director for application materials and to verify application deadlines.
Upon completion of a Dietetic Internship, you will receive Verification Statements signed by the Program Director. This verifies completion of the supervised practice requirement for registration eligibility (refer to the RD flowchart).
Additional information about supervised practice programs and computer matching can be obtained by calling the Academy Accreditation Team at 312/899-0040, ext. 5400.
If you complete registration eligibility requirements through the Coordinated Program, the CP Program Director will complete the same type of evaluation process. Again, the evaluation includes review of the equivalency report of your previous academic work from one of the evaluation agencies listed below, plus copies of all transcripts. Following this evaluation, you will be advised regarding the additional coursework necessary to complete the academic requirements, while also completing the supervised practice portion of the program(refer to the RD flowchart).
The DI or CP Program Director will submit the registration eligibility information electronically to CDR. Then, CDR will mail confirmation of eligibility to you. Subsequently, you will receive an application for the registration examination from the testing agency. Upon achievement of a passing score on the exam, you will become a Registered Dietitian (refer to the RD flowchart).
CDR publishes a Study Guide for the Registration Examination for Dietitians. To purchase the guide (Catalog number 062506) call the Academy Sales and Customer Service Team at 800/877-1600, ext. 5000 or 312/899-0040, ext. 5000.
They are as important as obtaining a degree and often needed for similar purposes. Verification statements are documents that are awarded upon completing an ACEND-accredited dietetics education program. These are official documents that are necessary as proof that you have successfully completed the required education (academic and supervised practice) according to standards outlined by ACEND. You need original verification statements (not photocopies) not only for the Dietetic Internship application process but also for Academy membership, employment and state licensure.
The process is similar in that all academic degrees must be evaluated by one of the foreign degree validation agencies in the list of Independent Foreign Degree Evaluation Agencies below. This evaluation and copies of all transcripts then need to be reviewed by a Director of an ACEND-accredited Dietetic Technician Program or a Didactic Program in Dietetics. Refer to the ACEND-accredited programs below. Additional coursework and supervised practice may be required to obtain an original verification statement of completion of the Dietetic Technician Program or a Didactic Program in Dietetics. After you have obtained the verification statement, the program director will submit your registration eligibility application to CDR. Then, CDR will mail confirmation of eligibility to you. Subsequently, you will receive an application for the registration examination from the testing agency. Upon achievement of a passing score on the exam, you will become a Dietetic Technician, Registered (refer to the DTR flowchart).
The Commission publishes a Study Guide for the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians. To purchase the Guide (Catalog number 063006) call the Academy Sales and Customer Service Team at 800/877-1600, ext. 5000 or 312/899-0040, ext. 5000.
If you have completed a minimum of a bachelor's degree from a US regionally-accredited college or university, or foreign equivalent, and have a verification statement from the Director of an ACEND-accredited DPD program, you may submit the registration eligibility application to CDR. A Registration Eligibility Application for Dietetic Technicians may be obtained by calling the Commission on Dietetic Registration at 312/899-0040, ext. 4764. All original documents as outlined in the application materials must be attached to the application. The complete application must be submitted by the designated postmark deadline date. Written confirmation of receipt of the application will be forwarded to you. Upon achievement of a passing score on the exam, you will become a Dietetic Technician, Registered. This option could be considered by graduates of ACEND-accredited DPD programs who do not receive an appointment to a Dietetic Internship and want to be credentialed as a Dietetic Technician, Registered (refer to the DTR flowchart).
Many states have enacted laws that regulate the practice of dietetics. It is important that you contact the state regulatory agency where you plan to practice before obtaining employment to obtain information on their requirements and regulations. A list of state regulatory agencies can be obtained on the CDR Web site. If your state is not among this list then it does not have licensure/certification. If you need further assistance, you may obtain information from the Academy's Washington office by calling 202/371-0500. Please be aware that registration as a dietitian or dietetic technician with CDR, state licensure and membership in the Academy described in the section Questions Regarding Academy Membership are separate processes (refer to the RD or DTR flowchart).

text: Every dog has his day, but should Top Dog's have been April 28? Presumably that question was on the minds of executives at LIVE Entertainment, the film's distributor, when the Chuck Norris flick opened in more than 1,900 theaters nine days after the Oklahoma City bombing. Top Dog pits Norris and his K-9 cop partner against militant right-wingers who plan to celebrate Hitler's birthday with a bombing. To dispel the impression of callous aforethought, LIVE issued a statement: ''We have decided to distribute Top Dog as planned because it is an action-comedy for the whole family.'' But Oklahoma City wasn't buying: On April 29, at General Cinemas Penn Square, one of five local theaters showing Dog, the film took in $300 (its national per-screen average was $1,133). ''The grosses have been pretty low,'' says Chris Mock, the multiplex's chief of staff. ''Priest, which is pretty downbeat and pretty controversial, is doing better.''

I use this product to easily disconnect the battery on all my vehicles if not drivin much.... also a great product to deter auto theft if you dont have an alarm......For theft deterent and your everyday driver install a 20 amp fuse and holder and connect to each side of the battey terminal, when you disconnect the battery with this switch it will still retain your radio stations and computer memory if you have a newer car and the dome light will still work... if some one manages to hot wire your vehicle from the inside and try to start it, it will pop the fuse and it wont start and everything goes dead... but only you know you have the battery disconnect switch and turn it back on and drive away.... all it cost you is a fuse and not your vehicle..... always install this device on the negative side of the battery as always good practice to disconnect negative first as not to damage vehicles computers if equipped...Also use battery anti corrison washers on wet cell batteries, make sure if you use an anti corrison spray the switch is set to vehicle run as not to get spray between contacts..... and you dont have to man handle knob and over tighten, will see how knob holds up being plastic living in a hot engine compartment if your battery is mounted there........ASE Master Technician since 1987

When attempting to tighten the clamp around the battery terminal, the chosen materials failed to do their job. The 'Brass' would not yield and the square head of the bolt sheared some material off of the clamp when it finally decided that it didn't want to resist turning anymore. After that I immediately put it back in the package for return. I even included the little shred of metal that came off.1/2" SAE SocketFor people confused about connecting your original battery cable, I came to the same conclusion as another user. You can install it at a right angle to the other end of the product. Ignore the hole in this case.

Great product. Just don't over torque as it will start cracking like any other battery terminal.You don't even have to take the Green bolt completely out. Just 3/4 turn and Power is disconnected. It's the little cheap products like this is why I go to HF!

Works as stated, can also be used for 12V home backup solar system to keep standby for emergency, 20 amp fuse installed with this allows minimal use but prevents starting. This unit should be made to allow higher amperage and there would be another world opened up for this. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. If you have problems or prefer, you can have it installed for you by any mechanic or shop cheaply.

Avoid confusion It works and here is how
By Duke

About Me Mechanic
For all you people who looked at this and went how do I connect the cable like I did here you go. Take the bare cable and put a standard battery end on it or just leave the battery terminal on the cable if you didn't remove it. Then put it on the rounded end of the quick disconnect with the hole in it and tighten it up.The hole is not used. The rounded end is just a battery terminal laying at a right angle to the original battery post. If the designer of the QD had just turned the rounded terminal at a right angle so it looked like a standard battery terminal there would have been less confusion.
