Hi All!
My family is headed on a Cruise out of Miami for Christmas and I am hoping to get some advice.
The details:
We are flying in on a Wednesday (arriving in the evening) and then boarding the cruise on the Sunday (mid-day). There are six of us with lots of luggage (chronic over-packers!). We have a variety of ages: 16, 19, 24, 26 and my parents.
Things we would like to do: rent bikes for an afternoon, go on a boat tour and the rest is up in the air!
We are debating staying in Miami for the 4 nights or splitting our time between Miami and somewhere in the Keys.
My parents have been to Miami once before (but did not have an amazing experience), the four of us children have never been.
What should we do?
Thanks so much!
Miami or the Keys in December?

Would you be interested in a day trip from Miami to the Everglades? It would be a different experience from the sites you will get to on the cruise, i.e. , not just a nice tropical island place.

I would pick just one or the other and park the group... my choice would be South Beach with day trips down the keys... in SB you have an amazing beach vacation with shopping,food, and people watching and your final move to the cruise will be much easier...

For a boat trip: Key Largo is an easy day trip from Miami with a rental car and the glass bottom boat trip at John Pennekamp state park is fun.

Thanks all! If we were to take a day trip from Miami to the Keys, which area should we go to? What do people usually do while visiting the Keys? I feel like it might not be beach weather...?
Report Abuse
what sort of experience do you want? south beach is a urban over priced tourist trap and the keys are rural over priced tourist traps.

Last time we went, we stayed in SoBe and took a day trip out to John Pennekamp State Park. The coral reefs are magical. SoBe is fun to wander around in and we always see lots of rental bikes zipping around. Puerto Sagua is a favorite restaurant of ours.

South Beach is not around the block from the Keys. It's a few hours drive, plus whatever you are going to do there, then the drive back.
I vote for staying in the Keys overnight enjoy it at least a day and a half. South Beach the rest of the time. Most of it is water, boats, laid back bars and restaurants. South Beach is more vibrant at night. There is bottleneck traffic during the day, especially Fridays and weekends. Keys are more laid back. Not as crowded. People are nicer, imo. Enjoy!

If you want to avoid moving around all that luggage, I'd stay in South Beach or near it and either "beach hop" around the area or take a day trip to Key Largo (one of the upper keys).
You can go to a couple of beaches in/near Miami...
- South Beach (more vibrant, younger crowd)
- Hollywood Beach (more family oriented, has a broadwalk with restaurants right on the beach - about 20-30 min north of South Beach)
- Key Biscayne (an island just south of Miami Beach with hotels like Ritz Carlton, etc. It has a nice beach on one side and bay inlet for sail boarding/water sports on other) http://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/key-biscayne.html
In Key Largo (about 3 hours drive south), most people go to John Pennekamp park (an underwater park) for snorkel boat tour or glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral reef. http://pennekamppark.com/
You'll need to rent a car to do all of this as we don't have great public transportation.

You really have just three full days, so I would pick one place to drop all that luggage and go wherever from there. We really enjoyed a walking tour of the Art Deco hotels in South Beach through the architecture group below. The beach is right there and also plenty of sidewalk cafes.

Yikes, wrong link. Here is the correct one for Miami Art Deco tour:

This would mean you had to do dishes after dinner (which was at 18.30) and then collect the glasses from all the tables when people were done with them of course. At 21.45 ring the bell for the first time, this was to say there are 10-15 minutes left until closing. At 21.55 ring the bell again, which was the sign of we're closing now.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Standing just in front of the sea and the mountains, this place is by far one of the best spots I have seen in Switzerland. Montreux is a symbol of tourism and the Palace is a reference to discover and enjoy as it has this excellence of high quality service and food.

Movies and television programs for children and adults alike have discovered sympathy for the villain. Next summer, kids will get to see the story of "Sleeping Beauty" from the perspective of the evil queen in the movie "Maleficent."
And it seems as though recent years have seen older viewers, of the stage and of the screen, continually being drawn into absorbing narratives from the perspective of the bad guy.
It's been more than a decade since Broadway premiered "Wicked," told from the perspective of the wicked witch of the West. The past several years have seen AMC's mastery of this concept through ad executive Don Draper in "Mad Men," or by way of meth dealer Walter White in "Breaking Bad," which just concluded its run this fall.
These anti-heroic characters, while not new concept, seem to have been embraced more and more fully. Older audiences relish the complexity of heroes who aren't necessarily "good guys." But media experts and psychologists caution that kids are better off seeing the world in black and white.
Not bad, but 'misguided'
For very young children, says Linda Simensky, vice president of children's programming at PBS, stories in popular entertainment rarely contain a villain. It's more of a nemesis. For old children, often the "villain" is there to give them the perspective of the antagonist, and to get a sense of what motivates them.
"If the bad guy has any redeeming traits it starts to get confusing for the younger viewers," said Simensky, who works with producers to develop shows appropriate for preschool and grade school children.
"By the time kids are in kindergarten, they understand that not everyone in the world is good," she said. Story lines can become a matter of "how to deal with" bad guys and bullies.
Villains are reserved for action shows, and tend to be more humorous, she said. Viewers root for the good guys, but still enjoy it when the bad guy is on screen: they're so fun to watch, she said. Such villains usually aren't nefarious.
And villains "at PBS are frequently not bad so much as they are misguided," she said, "because if someone just had a conversation with them, they'd clean up their act."
"We're oriented towards the good guy always winning and winning pretty quickly, and not too much time being spent on the bad guy," Simensky said.
Beyond one-dimensional
More complicated narratives are natural as children mature in grade school and beyond.
Josh Samson teaches teenagers from 13 to 19 how to create fiction for film through the Sundance Institute-sponsored SpyHop Productions in Salt Lake City, Utah. His year-long class in screenwriting, cinematography, editing and writing allows students to take a short film from pitch to premiere. Getting a sense of one's self is a common journey in their character development, Samson said. It is a journey that his students are experiencing as they grow up.
Students usually arrive with ideas for addressing the confusing and darker topics that teens think about as they attempt to find their place in the world. Having a purely "good" character makes it difficult for a story to possess a message.
"A one-dimensional character is, quite simply, bad writing," Samson said. "Nobody is one-dimensional. If your protagonist is one-dimensional then you're really not delving into anything."
For this audience, introducing a character with no discernible character flaws leads audiences to expect the playwright or screenwriter to expose their hubris, he said. Just as everyone is aware of their own imperfections, they enjoy seeing imperfect characters, too.

I have been tinkering with standard Multi-Layer Perceptrons and the Backpropagation algorithm in Encog for two weeks now, both via workbench and via Java code. My next job will require inserting noise in input patterns, like in this paper: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6033567 (PCA and Gaussian noise in MLP neural network training improve generalization in problems with small and unbalanced data sets)
Basically, I need to (it is a binary classification problem): 1 - Transform the input patterns using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) 2 - Use Backpropagation to train an MLP, with a trick: Insert a different white noise in each training pattern on each epoch.
What is the more straightfoward way to do this noise injection using the Java version of Encog? Does any of the available training algorithms involve artificial noise injection?
PS.: The full algorithm for the paper I cited is
1. Apply PCA to decorrelate the variables
2. Initialize the system architecture
3. Set k, max number of epochs and min error
4. Begin training - While epoch counter a. Randomly draw an input pattern (vector x) without replacement for presentation
b. Inject noise into input pattern
1. For every variable from the input pattern
a. Draw g from a Gaussian distribution. g ~ N(0,1)
b. Calculate n = k * g
c. Add ninto input pattern x
c. Present the input pattern
d. Adjust the system parameters
e. If training stopping criterion has been reached then
1. Stop training
f. Otherwise
1. Increment epoch counter
2. Go to 4.a

Happy 6th Birthday: The Day FASB Folded & "Mark-To-Fantasy" Was BornSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/10/2015 15:50 -0400
The captured corporate MSM is celebrating the six year anniversary of when the stock market bottomed in March 2009. They will spin a false narrative of Bernanke, Obama and Geithner saving the world with TARP, QE, and the $800 billion Porkulus bill. In fact, Bernanke and Geithner stopped the market from falling in March 2009 by threatening the accounting geeks at the FASB and forcing them to allow fraudulent reporting by the insolvent Wall Street banks. The crisis ended – precisely – on March 16, 2009, when the Financial Accounting Standards Board abandoned FAS 157 "mark-to-market" accounting, and Mark to fantasy was born.

As Jeb Bush Pounces On The Hillary Email Scandal, The Real Winner Is... Goldman SachsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/03/2015 11:07 -0400
One person who was obviously delighted by the latest Clinton scandal is her main Republican competitors, Jeb Bush, whose camp on Monday was quick to pounce on the email scandal, while also invoking the farcical IRS Lois Lerner "excuse" that emails were lost due to failed hard drives: "Hillary Clinton should release her emails. Hopefully she hasn't already destroyed them," Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said. But while one could ascribe victory to the Florida republican in this latest scrimish, the real victor of this spat between the so-called "left" and "right" is the firm that stand to benefit no matter who wins: Goldman Sachs.

Chelsea Clinton's Husband Suffers Massive Hedge Fund Loss On Greek InvestmentSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/03/2015 23:28 -0400
Despite having Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein as an investor and being Bill and Hillary Clinton's son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky (and two former colleagues from Goldman Sachs who manage Eaglevale Partners hedge fund) told investors in a letter sent last week they had been "incorrect" on Greece, helping produce losses for the firm's main fund during two of the past three years. By 'incorrect' Chelsea Clinton's husband means the Eaglevale fund focused on Greece lost a stunning 48% last year and, as The Wall Street Journal reports, is impacting the overall returns of the roughly $400 million fund which has spent 27 of its 34 months in operation below its "high-water mark."

Goldman Tumbles On Worst FICC Revenue Since Lehman, Average Employee Comp Drops To 2012 LevelsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/16/2015 08:59 -0400
The FDIC-backed hedge fund may have beaten on the EPS and top line, the reason why investors are less than excited, is because as the chart below shows, the trend is most certainly not the friend of either Lloyd Blankfein or Goldman's shareholders. The culprit: the one most important category, FICC revenue, was nothing short of the Jefferies-hinted disaster, and at $1.218 billion, it was not only a huge miss to expectations of $1.6 billion, but was 30% lower compared to a year ago, and is the lowest FICC revenue since Lehman.

Wall Street Heathens: How Their Greed And Gambling Became The Axe Of Statist PolicySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/01/2015 20:15 -0400
Goldman head Lloyd Blankfein was completely wrong when he declared his firm was doing "god's work". That couldn't be. In fact, Goldman and its principal competitors have become nothing less than the devils workshop during the modern era of Keynesian central banking instigated by Alan Greenspan. Greenspan's "committee to save the world" did no such thing. What it did was bury the American middle class in debt, while massively outsourcing US goods production capacity to China and elsewhere in the EM.

The Morality and Legality of Debt Jubilee, Part IISubmitted by Sprott Money on 12/17/2014 10:39 -0400
Part I of this series demonstrated how/why all of our government debts incurred in recent decades are the result of obvious and egregious fraud. These debts currently cripple our economies (and societies) with roughly 25% of every revenue dollar taken in by our corrupt governments being utterly wasted, making interest payments to financial parasites – criminal parasites.
This means that not only is it morally defensible (and imperative) that we wipe away these recent, fraudulent debts, it can be justified legally, in clear and unequivocal terms. But the question which remained from the opening installment of this series was with respect to the morality/legality of our historical debts. Could we, should we also erase the debts incurred by past generations, after we wipe away all of the recent years of debt-via-fraud?

When Goldman Writes The New York Fed's Press Releases, Then All Is LostSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/06/2014 21:31 -0400
Much has been said about Goldman's control over the most important Federal Reserve of all, that of New York, where the all important Markets Group is located, which does as the name implies, "influences" markets.And while it is very clear by now that nothing will change under the current corrupt and compromised executive, legislative and judicial system, because at the end of the day, Goldman has indirect control over all three branches of government , here is the one anecdote which, in a non banana republic, would be the straw that finally broke the camel's back.

Full List Of Companies "Audited" By CYNK's Public AuditorSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/09/2014 16:34 -0400
While we enjoyed the hours of amusement formerly micro-cap company Cynk Technology (CYNK, with Mr. Marlon L. Sanchez serving as President, CEO, CFO, Secretary, Treasurer & CAO) provided us today, we must sadly conclude that the company is nothing but a fraud. And it is nothing short of a testament to just how broken this excuse for a market is that a company with no assets, no revenues, no website, and one employee can go from zero value to nearly $5 billion in market cap in a few days , adding 150%, or over $2 billion in market cap today alone. That said, the question always is: who is next. Who is the company that is as big a fraud as CYNK and will generate as great a profit in as short a time. For the easiest possible answer we simply found out who the company's "auditor" is (that would be Messineo & Co, CPA LLC of located at the following address) and then we backed into which other companies also use this auditor for their own fraudulent purposes. The full list is below.

Timothy Geithner is likely to go down in American history as one of the most dangerous, destructive cronies to have ever wielded government power. The man is so completely and totally full of shit it's almost impossible not to notice. The last thing we'd ever want to do in our free time is read a lengthy book filled with Geithner lies and propaganda, so we owe a large debt of gratitude to former Congressional staffer Matt Stoller for doing it for us. Stoller simply tears Geither apart limb from limb, detailing obvious lies about the financial crisis, and even more interestingly, Geithner's bizarre bio, replete with mysterious and inexplicable promotions into positions of power..."Geithner is at heart a grifter, a petty con artist with the right manners and breeding to lie at the top echelons of American finance..."

If you're cast in a major blockbuster, only to be replaced publicly, it can be hard to get your career back on track again. Stuart Townsend, for instance, shot scenes as Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings," before Peter Jackson decided he was too young, and replaced him with Viggo Mortensen. Townsend's heat remained for a little while -- he was the lead in "Queen of the Damned," and one of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," but, well, we know what happened to those, and Townsend hasn't had much luck in recent years. Dougray Scott, meanwhile, was meant to play Wolverine in Bryan Singer's "X-Men," but had to bow out when "Mission Impossible 2"...Read More »

Comic-Con is nearly upon us: we're only two weeks away from the descent of the geek world on their San Diegan Mecca, although many have been worried, considering Marvel's decision to skip Hall H this year, that there wouldn't be much worth going for. But Legendary Pictures, backers of "The Dark Knight," "300" and "Clash of the Titans," have announced that they're taking four big projects to the Coachella of sci-fi/fantasy, and the press release is unusual for two reasons: firstly (and more on this shortly) not an inch of film will have been shot on any of the four, and secondly, because they've left slip a major piece of casting on the most i...Read More »

Guillermo del Toro might be distinguishable to many for his rotund physique, but he's better known these days, production-wise at least, for stretching himself too thin. Since his last film -- 2008's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" -- he famously hotfooted it from "The Hobbit" over a year ago, citing production delays even before MGM declared bankruptcy, though he's yet to get started on a new project, even as Peter Jackson's two-part epic began production earlier in the year. Conventional logic would dictate that del Toro's long overdue for getting a Spanish-language "one for me" out of his system along the lines of "The Devil's Backbone" and ...Read More »

Every now and then there is a story of an actor who has worked hard for years, slowly building acclaim on the back of strong performances matched by a just as tenacious work ethic. One of those people right now is Idris Elba. He had almost a decade of experience under his belt when he took on the role of Stringer Bell in the acclaimed HBO series "The Wire" and from there, things began to snowball until suddenly he seems to be everywhere. He's already got another hot television series on the other side of the ocean in "Luther," he played Heimdall in the box office hit "Thor" and he's currently working with Ridley Scott again (he was in "Americ...Read More »

Language is a system of sounds, symbols, or marks used to communicate ideas between individuals in a given community, while dialect is a variation of a given language used in a smaller region.
Dialects are a smaller category of a given language. Essentially, a dialect is a particular manner of speaking a given language and differs by region, while language is the overall structure and covers a much broader region.
For example, Business Insider identifies at least 24 different dialects of English in the United States. While the dialects are all English, they differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, syntax and grammar. The Pennsylvania German dialect of English allows strange syntactical constructions like "Throw your father out the window his hat." A Virginia Piedmont dialect includes individualized vocabulary like hoppergrass for the word grasshopper.
People speaking different dialects of the same language should be able to communicate, while people speaking different languages would not. The variations among dialects are much smaller than the variations among languages. In addition, a dialect is different from an accent. An accent is an even smaller variation and is primarily a matter of pronunciation of sounds and not a matter of broader differences like vocabulary and sentence structure.
The linguistic requirement for two dialects to "count" as two separate languages is. mutual intelligibility. : if speakers of maybe-a-language A can completely understand
A dialect is a slightly different form of the same language. American English and Standard (British) English are different dialects, for example. The basics of the language remain
"Language" often refers to your own linguistic variety and
THE DIFFERENCE is mainly to do with politics: for instance Flemish and Dutch are referred to as separate languages because they are spoken in two different states, but since the Act

Uncontaminated and safe drinking water is essential for human health. That is why an array of technologies is used for eliminating adulteration, but they are awfully unsuccessful in eradicating the life threatening diseases and bacteria. This is a source of worry as more and more people are falling to water borne infections.
In India, more than 200 million people have no access to uncontaminated water. They are enforced to drink from the unhygienic watercourses and streams. Particularly in India, the scarcity is starting to distress life all over. Even as groundwater resources are being drained to meet up industrial, rural, and private requirements for uncontaminated water, at the same pace population is also increasing constantly requiring more resources. High applications of chemicals are established in a large proportion of the water with fluoride, selenium, and arsenic being a few of the most damaging. Further elements, such as chloride and nitrate are also intensifying.
When it comes to home water purifiers the default option for a lot of people is the reverse osmosis water purifier. This technology is extensively used in bottled water, as it is very effectual in eliminating the adulteration, hence giving it a very satisfying flavor. Though, these days, RO water purifiers are move stealthily into household as specifically made reverse osmosis water filters are overflowing in the markets. The major theory following reverse osmosis is the utilization of a porous covering to obstruct all solute on one side leaving the solvent to surpass to the other side. This results in water that is unpolluted and protected.
RO water purifiers are favorable for ground water usage, or where water is hard or saline.
But prior to buying any RO system, you must get the water tested to find out what kinds of pollutants are present in it.
While water concerns are growing everyday due to high level of contamination in various sources of drinking water for household use, many people still depend on conventional method of water treatment at home like straining, boiling, filtering with candle filter etc.
These methods are not adequate for removal of all contaminants and providing safe, fresh and good tasting water.
If you are concern about your family's health consider buying a WATER PURIFIER
How to choose a water Purifier
1. Determine whether you are in the market for a simple water filter or a water purification system. Filters (such as candle filter or on-tap system) are designed to remove only physical impurities. Purification is an in-depth, more thorough process that is designed to remove most of the contaminants.
2. Research branded water purification systems available in the market. The most popular and effective methods are RO (reverse osmosis) water purifiers and UV water purifiers.
3. Look into purchasing a reverse osmosis (RO) water purification system for the most effective removal of bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other contaminants. An RO system is an expensive solution, but its effectiveness and durability make it the most desirable for those who desire pure, safe, fresh and good tasting water in the home at all times.
4. Consider a UV water purifier if your primary goal is a portable method of getting clean water when needed. It is effective in eradicating bacteria and viruses. It is important to note, however, that the UV method alone will not remove contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides and will not make water taste good.
Top Tips and Warning
• Don't compromise and choose the most advance water purification technology of RO for pure, safe, fresh and good tasting water at home.
• Please ensure to buy water purifier of well reputed & trusted brand.
• While buying RO purifier, please ensure that water is just not only purified but also well protected in the storage tank.
• Please check that the internal parts used in the system coming in contact with water are of international quality and are of food grade materials.
• Please ensure to check global certification like WQA (USA) Gold Seal mark for RO or UV systems as many local assemblers import components from local or non-reputed Chinese suppliers assembles units in India.
• You may also choose to look for advance Direct Flow RO water purifier (tank less) with filter change indicators and other diagnostic electronic interface.
• Whichever method you might choose, it is important to keep the system maintained. Change any filters when specified by the instructions to ensure that the water in your home stays clean and pure.
• Levels of water contaminants are hard to determine for the untrained individual, so when purchasing a filtration or purification system, be sure that the retailer is reputable and knowledgeable.
There are many ro water purifier companies in the market with different range & variety. Whirlpool of India is one of the leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances in India. It manufactures different types of water purifiers. The Variety of models is designed to suit the necessities of different classes of consumers and is highly appreciated in the market.

I'm a guy and I'll admit, I originally got into because I'm a history fanatic. Stayed because I actually really liked it.
I saw the anime prior to ever reading and playing the original material so when they finally got the second OP, I was actually hoping Chizuru would be of some use.
spoiler[ Alas, I was wrong. ]
Okita is still my favorite character though. For both his ending in the original game and for the anime.
spoiler[ I got teary eyed during his ending. One of the only three times I've had tears due to a fictional work. Stuff was just so sad and at the same time, so heartwarming. ]
Overall, I highly recommend the series (and the PSP release) to anybody who likes that era and wants a different take on it. The romance stuff is actually kept to a minimum until the near the end of both if I'm recalling correctly. Even then, it works.

I saw the first episode of this last week and for one obvious reason, I found it very hard to take seriously. Such as: How did Shinpachi become a member of the Shinsengumi anyway? Oh and what happened to his glasses? Yes, I know this fictional work is more "accurate" than that fictional work but I can't help but make connections like "Kondo's still as useless yet nice here, too".
The only other impression I got from it was there was a lot of guys yet it didn't feel like a reverse harem because the girl has no presence. Beyond that, it's as flavorless as ice flavored ice cream.
Sentai dubbed this and not [blank], what a waste {On the other hand, they do seem more confident in their male actors over their females ones}. I'll still watch it, maybe, as it's only a 20 minutes a week. My expectations are low as I kept wondering in and out of the room as the first episode was playing yet still didn't miss anything.
Action, drama, suspense, comedy are hallmarks you'll find in most animes but not here.

re. review:
Unfortunately, I have to agree that Chizuru is not very interesting at all, but that kind of heroine seems to be quite common in otome game adaptations. That being said, I think this one is better than most of the others I have seen. The Sinsengumi characters are fairly well developed and consistent with the personalities depicted in the game.
It is really devoid of fanservice other than the character designs, even more-so than the game.
It seems to be following the Hijikata arc from the game, and doesn't really bring the emotional impact that the game does. I should really say "visual novel" because that is what it really is.... in any case the source material really gives you a complete sense of the characters when you follow their particular path. My personal favorite was the Saito story, where a lot of emphasis was placed on his
spoiler[personal worldview and feelings of increasing irrelevancy in the face of modernized warfare.].
Though the story had a lot of emotional impact, it surprised me at how little "romance" is in the visual novel. There seems to be even less in the anime.

Is this just another male harem with a female lead romance anime?
If it see, I'll pass. Out of all the female aimed shows they could've picked up, why not a shojo with a male lead. At least that way, both genders can enjoy it without putting up with a generic male harem female.

As people have told you many times, its because they aren't as financially viable as reverse harems are. "Both genders" aren't going to like yaoi titles, they're made for girls who like to see guys get it on with eachother. Gay guys are generally more into the Bara stuff than bishounen pretty boys.
Plus, this anime is popular enough to get an officially released version of the original visual novel in America, so it was a no brainer they'd pick this one up for anime release.

I'm not talking about BL titles, here. There are SHOJO titles with male leads, X is a good example and Betrayal Knows My Name is another one. And I see the poor ass ratings this anime has gotten on ANN, Sentai could've picked up a better female targeted anime to dub.
And FYI, how many BL titles do you know of where they show them having sex? Not many, unless it's 18+ and it's still 50/50 if they're going to show anything. People are homophobic in this world. Hell, their are guys that refuse to watch No.6 because they've been told the two leads kiss. Oh, so I guess if two guys kiss, that means a guy won't watch it.

|I hadn't heard of this series befor today - I'm really impressed that so many people are so familiar with the series - further that it's been released. It sounds like something I'd nominally enjoy - Shinsengumi, monsters - though, I suppose the female lead sounds irritating. Then again, it does sound like the show is ok overall. These reviews nearly always make me want to see a show if I haven't heard of it befor - I do tend to like Anime based on this type of videogame though.

Basic and simple hotel. Very cheap for Osaka, though the rooms are tiny and the bed is a thin mattress on the floor - quite uncomfortable. The onsen (bath) on the top floor is quite nice, it's small but free and has a great view. Remember to bring cash from somewhere else as finding an international ATM is a huge hassle, took us over an hour of walking.

Keep in mind that this is not really a hostel. Just a local basic hotel. But for the cost in Osaka, it isn't too bad. Ladies, you will be showering in front of other women in a shed behind the hotel (Not as bad as it sounds). Men, you will be too, but your bathing area is on the very top of the building and apparently has nice views! Haha

Hey check out www.portphillipmarinelife.net.au – the new Port Phillip Taxonomic Toolkit website we launched this week! It's a joint initiative between the Department of Sustainability and Environment, and us at the museum.
Left to right: Juvenile Scalyfin, jellyfish and biscuit stars in Port Phillip Bay.Image: Julian Finn | Mark NormanSource: Museum Victoria
There is a spectacular gallery of over 2,000 photographs that make it the site to surf if you don't want to get wet this dive season. And if you do get wet, then it's the one place to learn about the cool stuff you've seen underwater.
Have a click around and find your favourite pretty fin or an awesome octopus!
Left to right: albatross, isopod and moray eel from Port Phillip Bay.Image: Julian FinnSource: Museum Victoria
The site has 1,001 species from Port Phillip Bay with more to come in 2012. There are frowning faces of stargazers to picture-perfect blue devils, fish that walk instead of swim, cannibalistic sea cucumbers, and seahorses that eat lunch like sucking a hotdog out of a roll. They're all part of our truly amazing local marine life.
The Port Phillip Taxonomic Toolkit is primarily an identification and information resource for scientists and marine enthusiasts, but the images provide some fun and education for all audiences. There are also interactive menus to identify selected species as well as descriptions of characters that make the animals unique.
The project is funded by the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Seagrass and Reefs Program for Port Phillip Bay and will be completed later this year.
