IMAX Tunes up Theatre Boom Boxes with New Technology
New nXos Calibrator is an equalizer that digitally tunes and monitors audio systems
TORONTO -- Multi-speaker surround sound just got better at IMAX, the giant screen exhibitor claimed Monday, after it unveiled propriety technology to automatically adjust sound frequencies.
Toronto-based IMAX's new nXos Calibrator is touted as a super equalizer that digitally tunes and monitors audio systems in large format theatres.
IMAX insists the nXos Calibrator will "significantly exceed" the capability of manual equalization processes to provide a more immersive movie-going experience.
"We developed the nXos Calibrator to maximize the listening experience for moviegoers and to make the operation of Imax theatres easier for exhibitors who are often responsible for simultaneously monitoring dozens of screens in addition to their IMAX venue," Brian Bonnick, IMAX executive vp of technology, said.
The patented technology enables Imax technicians to monitor from a remote location the status of nXos equipped audio systems, and to apply corrections if changes in audio calibration are detected

Floating Weeds
Film Review
The rootless beings of the title are a performance troupe in post war Japan, moving perpetually through the country as happy wanderers. Returning to a rural island after twelve years they amuse themselves with sake and romance. Yet the troupe's master hides a secret. He fathered a boy here many years ago and this mystery is disastrously unpicked by his jealous mistress. Sound unremarkable? Well, this is Ozu, one of cinema's grand masters.
With his low slung static shots and sculptor's touch he chips away to the absolute truth of the human condition. The furtive father's pride in his illegitimate son is heartbreaking; a young actress's pain at her transient existence equally so. She (a young Ayako Wakao) is a floating weed, never destined to take root. Touching set-pieces such as two partners divided by a wall of rain remind us that although often playing like a gentle French comedy, this film can cut to the bone when it chooses. [Alan Bett]

Historical Traveler Reviews Arora Hotel Manchester
Great Hotel
The rooms in this hotel was very spacious and the bathroom was nicely decorated. The receptionist was very helpful, getting me information on certain sights I was interested in. The only drawback is that there is no parking and we had a bit of trouble finding it since Manchester has so many one-way streets.
Never say die!!
I had almost given up on finding a hotel in central manchester which was clean, comfortable and sensibly priced------and then after reading reviews on this page I tried out the Arora last weekend.
Unlike a previous reviewer I am not fussed about the lounge and seating area--who wants to sit for ages in a hotel lobby anyway? ---the rooms are what are important to me, and they were a wonderful pleasant surprise. We had a double/double with plenty of seating space too. The beds were supremely comfortably---with huge squashy pillows. Mini safe, ironing board in closet, air con, great lighting, fab bathroom with heated mirrors and inbuilt tv speakers, tasteful minimalist decor---pristine curtains. Everything spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is a few minutes stroll from Piccadilly gardens and very central----but even on a Saturday night in a first floor room there was no noise from the street at all---good secondary glazing. We had a very sound sleep. Room service was very prompt---no restricted menu either---you can have anything from the a la carte on a tray in your room in less than half an hour. Did not, however, eat breakfast---only wanted coffee and toast and 12.50 was too much for that!
All for 69.00 per room per night---has to be a great deal---so at last I have found a central Manchester hotel which fits the bill---halleluja and well done to Sir Cliff Richard (part owner according to brochure!) and partners and Arora staff ---we'll be back---keep up all the good work!!
PS: Check out the five Cliff Richard themed rooms--I didn't but fans might want to.....
Almost the ideal hotel
Have stayed a few times over the summer and the rooms are extremely comfortable and a good size. Where it falls down for me is "downstairs". The reception area is very functional but it feels very sterile. Not really the sort of place to hang out. And beware of the seating. Once down you may never get up again. There is a lounge area with more comfortable seats but it is just that, a room with seats. The bar is on the lower ground floor, except it's not a bar but a cocktail lounge. A word of warning, there is NO draft beer. Sometimes after a hard day in the office you need a decent pint to help relax you. They do stock a number of bottles but at �3.50 for a 330ml bottle of Guinness (served in a flute glass) it's not cheap. Haven't eaten there in the evening but the breakfast is more limited than many.
But don't let that stop you. Just ignore the pretentious "potentially award winning"(direct quote) restaurant and cross the road to chinatown for your evening meals.
As I said almost ...
Cheap and Chic
This hotel is great value for a small boutique hotel, centrally located. Immaculate,spacious room with all mod cons and the bed was a dream. Staff were great and all really helpful and friendly. The hotel bar and restaurant are fantastic and the cocktails are a must.
Stayed here in August this year - was brilliant. Gorgeous rooms, really clean. Really central to all the amenities of manchester city centre. Great helpful staff. Can't recommend it enough - AND - it's cheap!
Fantastic - 5 star service but 2 star price - strange but true!
I've recently been in Manchester every week for about the last 6. So I have been trying out various places.
The Radisson Edwardian (terrible when it opened, but perhaps may have improved), The Malmsaion is very, very good. The Cresta Court in Altrincham on the other hand is the pits.
Then I came across the Arora. They run a couple of crew hotels for British Airways staff. They are a pretty demanding bunch of people and that experience seems to have paid off with the Arora in Manchester.
The hotel is EXCELLENT. The service was great, friendly and efficient. The room, large, spacious, new, well furnished and solid. Everything was fresh and new.
I paid an excellent price - �68 - which is not much more than you would pay for the Ibis in Manchester. I'm going back next week and it looks like it will become my choice hotel for business in Manchester.
Stay here.. but save a room for me!!
I recently stayed in the Arora with a friend, and the accommodation was wonderful! I got a very good deal through activehotels which I use for most of my hotel bookings. We had a double/double room and even with the two double beds it was still very spacious, with seating area. The decor was modern, smart, and clean. The bathroom was a great size with plenty of space for toiletries and a lovely big bath, with power-shower overhead. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, you just sank into them! There is absolutely nothing I can fault with the room, I really enjoyed staying there. The only problem you may find is parking, as the hotel doesn't have its own car-park. Plus the bar/restaurant in the lower ground of the hotel is seperately run so does not have late-night opening for hotel residents, which was a bit of a disappointment but that's just a minor point. The location of the hotel is great, amidst all the Chinatown restaurants etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone, and am planning on going back there very soon! Hmm mind you, if I recommend it more people may go, and the prices may then go up, and the hotel may then start to lose its new clean sheen....on second thoughts, NOBODY GO! :)
A hidden gem of a hotel!
Just stayed at the Arora based on the reviews on this website. It was fantastic. Because it is new everything is spotless, the staff are extremely friendly, the rooms stylish, large and with lovely comfy beds. The cocktail lounge looked amazing. If you want a chic boutique hotel at really reasonable rates (I got a room at �59 a night on the web) in the centre of town, I really couldn't recommend this more. Cliff Richard part owns it too! I will definately stay here again.
Top class service
I stayed at the recently opened Arora International last week and I was very impressed not only by the standard of the hotel but also by the friendly service and well appointed rooms. The location of the hotel is also excellent for both the travel links, shopping and the nightlife. I was in Manchester on business but I stayed into the weekend take full advantage of the attractions which Manchester has to offer and I was not disappointed. The restaurant in the Arora is FANTASTIC and the bar staff make cocktails to match anything I have ever tried in London. If I am in Manchester I will definitely be staying here - top marks all round!
Top marks all round
The rooms are large and have great decor, with spacious well-appointed bathrooms. Everything is spotless as the hotel is new. The restaurant/bar has a modern design and the breakfast was nicely done to order. The location is central to everything, and the helpful staff were quick to offer an umbrella when it started to rain. I would definitely stay there again.

WORK TO DO: In Atlanta, Karen Rosen notes the WSF report also showed the growth of women participating in college sports "slowed after 2000 and 'still lags far behind men's participation levels,' and the percentage of female athletes has not kept pace with female enrollment." WSF CEO Donna Lopiano said, "Women are still severely underrepresented" (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 6/6). In N.Y., Bill Pennington notes almost 20% of schools in the study received a "failing grade, meaning they had a gap of more than 22 percentage points between the percentage of females athletes and the percentage of women in the student body" (N.Y.

SOUTHFIELD — When Dearborn resident Olga Wierszewski needed an evening away with her three sisters, the grand opening of Southfield's newest comedy club, Comedy Zone, was the place to be, she said.
"This was one of the first comedy shows I've ever seen, and it was hilarious — truly great," Wierszewski, 48, said about the theater that opened next door to Southfield's AMC Movie Theatre. "It was pretty fun for a night out with the girls, which I desperately needed."
The Comedy Zone, a national live-comedy theater chain with 65 locations, opened its first and only Michigan venue in Southfield.
Opening weekend, held June 6-8, kicked off with comedian, writer and actor Charlie Murphy and his show "Charlie Murphy's Acid Trip."
Wally Mona, the owner of the Southfield franchise, said he hopes the club becomes a premier comedy venue in the Detroit area. Mona, who has been in the entertainment business for nearly 13 years and owns Macomb Music Theatre in Mount Clemens, said he believes the club has an edge, being part of the national chain.
"We will be able to bring big names to Southfield. It would be impossible to get them on our own, but having the Comedy Zone franchise, we are able to get these comedians at a lower price and pass that on to our customers."
Murphy was just the beginning in the lineup of national comics. The schedule includes Hal Sparks and Rob Scheider in July; Greg Morton and Dustin Diamond, known as "Screech" from Saved by the Bell, in August; Keenen Ivory Wayans in September; and Steve-O and Rondell Sheridan in October.
Mona noted that four of the five opening shows were sold out in the intimate 300-seat venue.
Wierszewski said that the ticket prices, which will be around $25, and the fact that the atmosphere was "cozy" would draw her back in for upcoming shows.
The Comedy Zone will also host private parties and corporate events, according to Mona, and he hopes that instead of a Thursday through Saturday lineup, the club will eventually be open seven days a week, with activities and shows every day.
Working with corporate, he specifically hopes to reserve Wednesdays for locals to come in and show off their talent, which might lead to an opportunity to go on the road with the Comedy Zone national circuit, he said.
"You come here for great laughs, a great time, great food and drinks. We have it all and there's not a bad seat in the house," he said.
Comedy Zone is located at 25333 W. 12 Mile Road in Southfield. For more information, including the full schedule, visit www.detroitcomedyzone.com.

The encyclopedia and the My ANN lists are my absolute favorite things about this site. I sometimes forget what I thought of a show until I see the rating I gave it. My one and only issue is this one that has already been mentioned:

The question asking about visual novels got me kinda pumped. I would love to see some visual novel reviews on here, especially since they tend to have a pretty bad track record when they finally get their anime adaptation. Though I do understand that the time required for a majority of those (10-50+ hrs) is much much more than what is necessary for shows/movies.
Edit: Oh... and I guess there really aren't too many of them that are legally available in English, nvm...

My 2 cents on the criticisms:
I visit ANN fairly regularly, much more than I visit CR. The main reasons I come to ANN are:
(1) Reviews and written Editorial content
(2) Podcasts
(3) Forum discussions
(4) News
In all of these 4 areas, ANN is far superior to CR. CR is basically a video streaming site for me and that's about it. I don't pay attention to their interactive or informative features because there don't really seem to be much standards at CR which would make me feel that information I'd be receiving would be reliable. Conversely, I have some sense of confidence that the information I get at ANN is reliable, whether it comes from the staff or even participants in the forum.
I don't expect ANN to be my source for video streaming. CR isn't even my main source for video streaming, although I have watched several videos there. I've probably watched more videos on Funimation, Hulu, or Netflix than on CR. I think ANN is an excellent resource for written information on anime and discussions such as podcasts and forum talk. I also think ANN is very good about having columnists/staff who regularly interact with the website's readership, which fosters a more authentic feeling of community than you get at other places. So, i'm pretty happy with what I get at ANN, though if there is anything that could make it better, I would say more editorial content since I think that is where ANN shines the most.
On a different topic - something that's been bugging me for a little while - I'm an intellectual property attorney and I have been wondering about something regarding your trademark. I won't comment here but if someone wanted to PM me some time I could let you know my thought.

Oh, awesome! I haven't seen the beta myself so this may be entirely redundant or outdated, but I'd love to see the site adopt a tabloid-style front page where (bear with me) the article feed isn't listed chronologically, but instead follows a "trending" format. Most online mainstream news sites follow a format similar to this (CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc.) with a chronological feed also featured in a smaller column. I think this would benefit readers, as the popular discussion articles would stay near the top, while items with less interest no longer pushing them down the feed. It also helps the writing staff gauge what topics to focus on in the future.

More stuff to do with manga would be nice, I'm more of a manga person myself. However, I know this is mostly an anime website, so it's not a big issue for me that you don't cover it that much (compared to anime).
I enjoy the podcast a lot, though I miss the Justin and Zac just chatting for 10 mins that used to be on nearly every podcast but now only happens occasionally (is this because Justin is too busy?). I'd also be interested in a few more episodes about manga.
The stream is my favourite column, I kinda hope that you'll find someone else to do shelf-life so that Bamboo can go back to doing the stream twice a month.

I'd think you'd have a highly informed and clear opinion on the topic.

I really only come here for anime related news items. Just to see whats going on in the world of anime. In this regaurd this is the only site I knew of to get some of the newer information on anime.
I use wiki for japan sites since I can not read of speak japanese but my chrome makes some of the sites easy to understand. I would love for someone to create a full translator for sites that can not be translated by chrome due to a image on the screen.
I goto Hulu and Cruchyroll and Funimation and theanimenetwork.com for streams as well aniplexs site. I was sad to see Bandai-ent got and Geneon go as well to losses. Sentai-film works seems to have picked up the slack. I was really unhappy when Media-blasters went under who will pick up such great shows like squid girl and strawberry panic and many other intresting titles.
I love the news format this site offers mainly the news on anime not into the reviews so much. Anime is just personal in that way. Its much like the dub and sub debates fans get into.
I like Crunchyrolls format as well but enjoy it for its simpistic ease of use and the new anime posted! So glad they got to go legit and make a profit showing it can be done! go anime!
here is to a new year of great releases and some rescues! someone out there please pick up Squid Girl for a notrh american release!

No mention of the anime site with nearly 5,000 active members and over 200,000 total, I see.
I would have liked some questions about the various parts of ANN, like specific columns. I also ended up having to enter zero for purchases since I probably average 3-4 per year. Asking about preferences for dubs versus subs might have been informative, too. I've wondered whether the growth of Crunchyroll has reduced the demand for dubbed releases over the last couple of years. I rarely watch dubs so I'm happy with CR. My last couple of purchases like Usagi Drop and Kurenai were sub-only as well.
I'm largely here only for the forums. If I see a Talkback item that relates to something that interests me, I'll read the original column. Otherwise I just click the item in my favorites list that takes me here.
And I agree with potatochobit, a seven-year-old version of phpBB is defintely clunky. I hate having to click twice to post. Creating links is a pain as well since you have to position the cursor in just the right location to type the URL into the initial tag. As someone with "old eyes" I generally have to zoom the font size just so I can insure that I put the "=" and URL into the correct part of the tag. Just spend a little money and license vBulletin already. Heck, even Simple Machines Forum is classier that what you have here now.
By the way, are the answers to the questions tied to our usernames when you look at the results, or are all the records anonymous? I certainly think you should tell us whether identifying personal information is passed along when posting. The absence of demographic questions made me think that you might not be anonymizing the responses as you should.

Perhaps you are dissembling, but if not, it's the one I cannot link to or name here. Its initials are AS.
What about the privacy issue? Do you anonymize the responses?

And ends in -uki, if I'm not mistaken.
I used to go there all the time. I don't anymore, but it is a huge and active site that probably should have been listed.
However, there was the option on the survey to manually add a site, so it's not like people were completely unable to select it.

Now you are making ANN sound like the Illuminati. There are lots of anime sites out there, why would ANN know your quoted bit torrent site has a teeming anime fan base. I have been there a couple of times over the years, but I had no idea it was that large.
I used to roam around HongFire for awhile before I found ANN. They didn't show up either. I was actually surprised to see Sankaku Complex included, so that was nice.
The AS (bit torrent site) and HongFire both have been around for a long time, but not everyone in the anime community know they exist or what they offer. So I can't see blaming ANN for them not being included, or implying that they are up to some secret blacklisting.

Tyler Biggs Leaves College to pursue the Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Tyler Biggs has told Miami University in Ohio that he will not be returning to college next season, but pursuing a professional career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. During his time with Miami University, Biggs collected 9 goals, 8 assist in 37 games played.
Biggs, who is an American power forward, was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1st round (22nd overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
With Biggs' absence in Ohio means that he will either join the Oshawa Generals, the OHL team that owns his junior rights, or better yet signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs and or the Toronto Marlies.
Biggs has represented the United States internationally for Team USA at the 2010 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, the 2010 IIHF World U-18 Championships and the 2011 IIHF World U-18 Championships, where he won a goal medal in all three tournaments.
Biggs has hockey in his blood and has been passed down to him as his father, Don, played 16 years of hockey between AHL and NHL, with stops with the Minnesota North Stars and Philadelphia Flyers.
But better yet for Maple Leafs fans Biggs has a genuine love for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Biggs grew up watching the Maple Leafs; his grandma gave him various Maple Leafs paraphernalia, though Biggs is an American, but possess 6′ 3″ 210lbs frame. All in all it seems like this is match in heaven for Tyler Biggs and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
