Had to laugh at this because I am kind of the same way with some shows. I can understand if people don't love the show as much as me, but I hate it when they don't give any good reasons why they don't like and just say something like, "It's stupid." Maybe the real deal breaker for me isn't so much that they don't like the shows I do, but that they won't nitpick and discuses shows on a deep level like a real otaku! I mean the only thing better then a perfect anime, is an anime with one tiny flaw that you can spend all night complaining about on the forums!

I liked Revolutionary Girl Utena! Can I crash on your couch for a week?
The only fault I've found with RightStuf's Revolutionary Girl Utena sets is that the box for my copy of the first set was slightly deformed, so it doesn't stand up straight, and the second had the wrong arc titles on the packaging and DVD menus. The third set seems immaculate and the faults in the others are unimportant. I'm really pleased that they released it and thus allowed me to satisfy a curiosity that had been growing for years.

But... aren't the last three minutes of the song just repeating "We still living, living in the nineties/eighties! We still fight, fighting in the nineties/eighties!"? At least, that's what I've heard from a friend who tried to do the same.

Isn't Bakuman horribly sexist?
I remember some HUGE stink being raised about supposed sexism in it on some other forum.

Utena is 20-something episodes of good ideas stretched way too far. I'm enjoying it but it is way, way too long and would be a lot more interesting if it trimmed like 15 episodes worth of fat off.
As it is, I am glad I'm finally getting around to one of anime's classics I hadn't seen before, because it's got plenty to like and I certainly don't feel like it was a waste of time, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

Unimpressive? UNIMPRESSIVE?!
The Bakuman dub is one of the best dubs released in 2011!! And EASILY one of the best by NYAV in a long time!!
Maybe Kevin T Collins sounds a BIT too old for his part, but Michael Sinterniklaas sounds perfect. Not to mention that the acting actually sounds very natural and not forced or wooden.
Lemme guess..... You're one of those people who thinks that the Durarara!! dub is nothing short of excellent and that Darrel Guilbeau sounded "perfectly fine" in his role, aren't you?
Pssshh..... Figures.

|I can understand your brother's opinion. Utena is a journey and requires a lot of emotional investment to get the most out of it. It also helps if you watched it as an angsty teen who could relate and learn from the characters

Getting Ikuhara to open up about anything meaningful in person is harder than opening the Doors to Eternity.
Luckily, that's what the booklets are for. The extensive print interviews with Ikuhara, not to mention the rest of the creative staff, are CHOCK FULLA stuff about everything everyone ever discussed concerning the show. Gender roles, independence, patriarchal institutions...it's all discussed in great detail in these books and confirms that everything the fans have ever read into the show were discussed in great detail by the creative staff after all. Don't look at the DVD extras or audio commentaries for answers, because all Ikuhara does is troll. Read the booklets.
In my opinion, Nozomi has set a standard for an anime release. Heck, not just anime--Criterion could probably take a few notes here as well. One of the biggest problems with anime is that when a show is labelled a "classic", these companies never do much to show us WHY it's important. The Utena release shows us WHY this show is important and why it should at the very least be respected on some level.

I've basically avoided that by treating each box as an entirely different season. I watch one, a few different shows in-between, then the next one. It works wonders that way.

So, I just finished Utena yesterday for my first time, and my final verdict? I LOVE IT!
I'm so glad I bought Nozomi's releases for the series (I pre-ordered each of them to get the ring). Not only are they gorgeous (and one of my favorite releases sitting on my shelf), but the series is definitely in my top faves.
Sadly, my viewing of the final two episodes were slightly ruined - the first half of each episode had issues with the disc where the audio kept pausing and cutting out every other second. I'm going to ask for a replacement disc from RS, and then re-watch those two episodes.
I have yet to see the movie, but I want to watch it soon.

To be honest, I think it's best to watch the TV series before the movie, and not just because the TV series came first. Both versions have different levels of strange surrealism, whereas the TV series is like gently wading into the waters while the movie is like a hard shove into the deep end. If anything, the TV series actually prepares new fans for the movie. Also, for anyone who thinks the TV series's ending is too bittersweet for their tastes, the movie's ending is more like a therapeautic catharsis as a counterweight, not to mention we get to see Utena and Anthy's relationship as it wasn't (at least not on the surface) in the TV series!
Also, for anyone who felt the TV series dub was intolerable--which I wouldn't disagree with--I assure you the movie's dub is a vast improvement. It had to do with a handful of factors, such as there being a different ADR director, Ikuhara-san supervising the dubbing of some key scenes, and all the weaker voices are either absent or only have a small number of lines. It's still a listenable dub that's aged well enough, so don't be afraid to give it a try if you're inclined. And despite the TV dub's notoriety, I'm glad Nozomi still included all the dub actor interviews from the Central Park Media set, since they all take place in the gorgeous locales of Central Park (it's worth watching the interviews for that alone) and the dub actress for Wakaba sings a rather nice tribute song for her character.

I dunno about any big controversies, but it's understandable that people would think so. Without going very deep into each character, we've got:
--Main character #1 (male): Protagonist who thinks critically about his life and works for his dreams.
--Main character #1's girlfriend (female): Side-character who does her best on her own, but is still the "ideal" female supporter for her boyfriend.
--Main character #2 (male): Protagonist who is really smart and works for his dreams.
--Main character #2's girlfriend (female): Side-character who is/can be extremely pushy and annoying, but is completely supportive of her boyfriend's dreams. Though she sometimes comes off as a character whose only purpose is to cause drama...
--Every married female adult in the series: Dedicated completely to husband or household.
They remind me of the whole Light <--> Misa relationship from Death Note, which flashes the "girl exists for the sake of guy" lightbulb in our heads. It sounds extremely sexist, but the other side of the issue is that it's "normal" for most of Japanese society to be like this, even now, when the foundations of the social rules are being challenged by new generations. Considering this series (as well as Death Note) is a little more realistic (excluding occasional character expressions and habits), I find their gender roles to make sense. I mean, if none of the characters are willing to challenge their gender roles (they are actually taking advantage of them, if you ask me), then let them be.
[Oh, hey. I made it into the article! Wasn't expecting that~ =D]

Spacecraft protected hard real time operating system
Scholarship Description
A protected hard real time operating system for spacecraft could reduce spacecraft weight and cost by allowing all processes to be run on a single processor. With launch costs of around $20,000/kg and a limited ability to generate power, spacecraft have greater need than any car or aircraft for the weight and power savings that can be offered by a single processor protected hard real time operating system. The research will include determining if an sel4 based operating system of sufficient complexity to meet the requirements for a spacecraft operating system can be verified. The strategy of ACSER is to design small, light weight and low cost spacecraft using high technology to endow these spacecraft with the capability of larger spacecraft. A protected hard real time operating system for spacecraft is consistent with this strategy due to the power and weight savings it can offer.

How Banks Decide How Much to Lend You
Here's another smart post from our friends at Zillow. Check it out:
If you are thinking about buying a home, one of the first things you should do is go to a lender to get pre-approved. This will determine how much money you can borrow on a mortgage. This will also help you filter your home search by sale price, which will narrow your choices within your financing range.
So how does a lender evaluate—called underwriting—and determine how much you can borrow? It involves the three C's: credit, capacity and collateral. Find out more:
Credit or FICO Score
The first item a lender will review is your credit profile, also known as your credit score or FICO score. This can range from 350 to 850. This is where all the decisions you've made in the past regarding will be reflected, such as:
- How much debt you have outstanding
- How much debt you have outstanding as a percentage of open credit accounts
- How much debt you have in different types of credit accounts (credit cards, car loans, school loans, etc.)
- How well you've paid your bills over the years
Lenders used to allow much lower credit scores for borrowing purposes, but they've gone up in the past few years. You need, in general, at least a 640 FICO score to borrow on a loan. The optimal score is 740 to 760, or higher. The lower your score, the higher your interest rate and points on your mortgage loan.
Capacity or Income
If you pass the FICO score test and the lender says you are creditworthy, the next item you will be evaluated for is your "capacity." Capacity means that based on the lender's allowed maximum percentage debt to your gross income, less all of your other debt payments, how much do you have available for a housing payment? It also has to be stable income, such as $65,000 per year for two years in a row.
Per the chart, you can generally have your total mortgage payment, less other debt payments, be up to about 35-40% of your gross income. In the chart, the bank took 35% of this borrower's $6,000 gross monthly income and subtracted out other debt payments to get a maximum allowed housing payment of $1,750. And that $1,750 equates to about a $225,000 house with a $200,000 mortgage (this means you will need to put down a downpayment of $25,000 to buy the $225,000 house), per the bottom of the chart.
Collateral or the Property
If you've got the credit, and the capacity, you only need one more piece: the collateral. This is the easiest part. You will pay the bank and they will order an independent appraiser to determine a market value of the property. And the lender will lend you up to a certain percentage of that value (or purchase price whichever is lower) like 80% loan to value (LTV) or maybe 90% LTV or maybe up to 96.5% LTV. This depends on the bank and the loan program in which you qualify. So even if your income qualifies you for a higher loan amount, the most any one bank will lend you on any particular property is up to their maximum allowed loan to value percentage on that property.
That's it! If you've got credit, and capacity, go out and find the collateral!

Overall score
would recommend to a friend.
Reviewer score
Would recommend
Excellent experience for the price
The concierge service was great--friendly and very helpful. She provided us maps and recommended places to go since it was our first time in town. The bathroom in our room was smaller than we hoped it would be, but the size of the room itself and
the service we received made us disregard that fact.
For the location, size of room, and the price we got for that night, we would definitely stay here again next time we plan a visit to Vancouver again.
Good hotel, expensive parking
Good, comfortable, clean hotel in a great location. Only thing I disliked was the outrageous price for parking! Do some research beforehand to find alternative parking for much cheaper!
Would not recommend
Worst Stay
This hotel is on Robson, but situated very far away from the shopping district. Our room was so hot we couldn't sleep, and when I asked the staff for help with this issue, they only told me to "turn the thermostat down." Thanks for nothing. The
elevator floors were dirty and the bathroom in our room was the SMALLEST one I'd ever seen. You had to stand in between the toilet and the shower in order to close the door. Will not be returning.
Good location, good hotel, ridiculous parking costs
The location of the hotel is great, within walking distance to many attractions. The room was small but clean and comfortable. My only problem was the cost for parking - $36/night! Outrageous.
Great for New Years
We stayed for NYE and were happy with the location.
On the decline
Still a nice hotel but has taken a fair drop since we stayed here a few years ago. The room was basically clean as far as sheets and towels, etc. went but there was a fair bit of dust built up on the head board which suggests housekeeping just
does a quick pass through. But the location is great for the price and the staff are quite pleasant.
Super Location & Upscale Value
Repeat customer for this hotel. Great value (parking fees excluded!), super clean and crisp furnishings, and friendly staff. Location is walking distance to everything! You won't be disappointed. Perhaps better for couples than kids.
Perfect location
Pros: perfect location on Robson Street in the West End, within walking distance to countless shops and restaurants. Try Santouka a couple blocks away for the best ramen! It is also a short jog to Stanley Park and the marina.
Cons: the parking is
expensive ($37 after taxes per night), although there is in/out privileges and free valet. They bring the car up and you get the key from the front desk, so I didn't feel compelled to tip
Best location
The hotel is right on the Robson street, and perfect location to enjoy Vancouver down town. Very clean and artistic.
Nice enough hotel but it is still a renovated older hotel.
Decor is nice with extras in the way of artwork on the "gallery" floor we were on. Poor lighting in room, no fridge, and inadequate seating. Biggest issue was the $36 charge for valet
parking. This isn't in the central core of Vancouver so I didn't expect to be compelled to accept valet parking and certainly not at that price. They make a big deal of the fact that about $7 of that is taxes, not their fault, but the remaining $29 is all theirs. Won't be back.

In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mike Weiner, Product Manager of the Omega DevCloud with KORE Telematics Inc., discussed the evolving requirements for developers as IoT matures and conducted a live demonstration of how quickly application development can happen when the need to comply wit...

Charting the online ed disruption
|| Print |
|The Latest
|Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Don't look now, but online education startups may soon give social media/mobile app developers a run for their money — in Oregon and around the country.
Portland startup Treehouse, which offers basic technology classes for high school students, announced today it was closing a $7 million series B round of financing, with Kaplan Ventures taking the lead. CEO Ryan Carson relocated from England last year, and Treehouse will use the money to grow employees and services.
This past December, EdCaliber, a maker of K-12 learning management tools profiled in our June 2012 issue, closed a $335,000 convertible debt financing round led by the Gorge Angel Investor Network.
On the national stage, Stanford announced last week it was joining a Harvard and MIT-backed enterprise, edX, to develop a system that allows colleges to develop free online courses, otherwise known as Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs. Stanford already operates its own MOOC, but the edX partnership is expected to boost enrollment worldwide.
"I really believe this will enable true, planet-scale application of online education," edX president Anant Agarwal told the Huffington Post on Monday.
The surge in online education startups is the most visible sign of the disruption underway in the K-12 and higher education marketplace. As budgets tighten, tuition costs skyrocket — and as quality in secondary and post secondary schooling declines — a growing number of entrepreneurs aim to upend business as usual, making education more accessible and affordable via online options.
As the parent of a high school senior, I am watching such developments with a keen eye. Because sending your kids to college in 2013 is akin to buying a hugely expensive house at the height of the housing boom — but with advance knowledge of the impending collapse.
As for Oregon's startup hordes, the payoff for entering the rapidly growing online ed arena may turn out to be every entrepreneur's dream: lots and lots of money.

Oregon's roads are crumbling, and revenues from state and local gas taxes are not sufficient to pay for improvements.

Reader comments:
"I feel private enterprises are capable of operating at a higher efficiency than state government."
"This has been used in Oregon since the mid-1800s. It is not a new financing method. This form of financing may help Oregon close its infrastructure deficit by leveraging funds."

Local photographer George Watson will display his work in the Wotiz Gallery during the month of July. Mr. Watson has been taking photographs for 60+ years, as he first used a camera in 1938 and now he modifies many of these images as digital pictures recently created in Photoshop. This exhibit will show how the reverse-color process and Color Key film was ued to manipulate images before the advent of the personal computer and digital photography. Works on display will be primarily black and white, and will include pictorial, panoramic, and portrait photographs. Mr. Watson joined the Photographic Society of America (PSA) and the Boston and South Shore Camera Clubs in 1965. He has exhibited in PSA-sponsored salons in the U.S. and 29 foreign countries, achieving PSA star ratings in nature and photo-travel slides and color print divisions, and Galaxy rating in color slides. In 1967, Mr. Watson was among the top 25 exhibitors of color slides in the world. Please come and view this lovely display during July.

Painter Robson Pereira is a Brazilian-born self-taught artist who emigrated to the U.S. in 2007 and now lives in Brockton. As many artists do, he has held lots of other jobs to support his art: landscaper, house painter and more. Each job he has had shows in his art's naturalism of expression. He is passionate about art and his paintings, finding much inspiration from nature. Pereira's style is unqiue and most of the paintings are not done using a brush. Instead he uses various objects to paint with: pieces of wood, plastic bags, dried tree branches, paint tubes, disposable plastic spoons, tassel grass, or anything that will present a unique style and texture to the piece. The effects are similar to modern period painters such as Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky. Come and enjoy this interesting exhibit during the month of August.

After studying with renowned artist and teacher, Albert Handell, at drawing and pastel workshops in Woodstock, NY, the focus of Rob's art is portraits of children and animals. He has a fascination with the ocean and other bodies of water, and they also continue to inspire his work.

Pianist/composer Deborrah Wyndham, who has given over 3,000 past performances, plays a wide variety of music from ragtime and other early jazz styles to original contemporary music. With appearances on FOX, NBC and ABC, listeners have described her playing as sounding "like four hands." Deborah performs regularly throughout the U.S. and her many venues have included lots of public libraries! The program she will perform on this date is called "The History of Ragtime" and it is described as follows: "Through music, Deborrah Wyndham shares the history of our nation's first 'pop' music: ragtime. Also the beginnings of jazz, ragtime has gone on to influence many other musicians and styles of music. With different ethnic musical influences and at first rejected by society for its unusual syncopated rhythm and venues where it was played, ragtime later on received wide acclaim and its popularity spread fast. Ragtime is an important part of our American musical heritage." Please join us for a fun hour with a talented musician. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Janice Broten to receive Outstanding Young Educator Award from Washington State ASCD
The Washington State Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (WSASCD) has announced that Ms. Janice Broten, grade 7/8 leadership teacher at La Center Middle School, is the recipient of their Outstanding Young Educator Award (OYEA) for 2015. The Outstanding Young Educator Award is intended to recognize an educator who achieves excellence in instructional leadership in teaching and learning. The award will be accepted by Ms. Broten at the Washington Educators' Conference in Bellevue in October.
Janice Broten's impact begins in her leadership classroom where students learn a great deal about being good leaders and role models in and out of school. Her leadership students are fundamental in creating school climate. They plan pep assemblies, spirit days, dances, fundraisers, service projects and bullying presentations (among other things) for La Center Middle School.
For the past nine years, Janice facilitated their annual Kids Making Miracles for Doernbecher Children's Hospital fundraiser spending hours planning and organizing activities with ASB and leadership students. Students raised more than $42,000 in those nine years.
