I couldn't help but chuckle at this week's Flake of the Week, and its response.
As for comedies, I really don't have any general preference as to which one is better. As long as it makes me laugh, then it has done its job.

Even though I've been an anime fan since I was 8, I have to say I think my sense of humor is still much more American. A lot of clever Japanese jokes have to do with culture puns and references that, even if I understand them, would not be an funny to me as American references that I can relate to more. I can't think of an anime that has made me laugh out loud nearly as much as some episodes of The Daily Show/Family Guy, or as wonderfully shocked as South Park.
Most disappointing ending....? Well, I can't think of a glaringly obvious one - the only show that sticks out in my mind is Venus Versus Virus, which was a mediocre anime from the beginning.

This is only slightly related, but worth a note--one time while watching Cromartie High School, my Dad suddenly said "I think this is my favorite anime!" Considering that he normally won't sit down and watch anything anime that I'm watching, this probably shows how well Cromartie High School's humor translates to an American audience.
Also, that being said, I personally find Family Guy too crude for my liking. There's plenty of American shows I find laugh-out-loud funny, though.

Well, I'm ready to read most of the entries saying "_____, because it didn't finish and I had to read the manga for the rest of the plot."
Come to think of it, I've never had an anime with an ending I didn't like. I may have wanted a bit more closure on the characters (like Last Exile for instance, where I had to go to the final DVD case for closure), but I never had an anime where I disliked the ending, manga continuation endings excluded.

The general rule is, the source material is usually better developed than the adaptation for animation. Of course, that's because adaptations are just that - someone's vision of somebody else's material. There are, however, cases in which it works well, even if elements change - no, perhaps because there are changed elements. As long as it remains faithful in spirit, there's no reason to nitpick the specifics. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example of this.
When there's a manga based on an animated program, it's always a bit awkward. I've read some Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne manga, and it just doesn't suit my tastes.
And apparently, it's a very big, very full hat. I'd like to see what it looks like. I like to think that it's velvet-lined.

|I can understand and accept endings that have to be ambiguous because of an on going manga, but not a series, or movie where that isn't the case, but it still is just as ambiguous. I find it intreguing that a nation with a reputation of being so sexually liberal, can sometimes have such sexually frustrated, and neurotic endings between couples so obviously in love.

I went into Air and kanon thinking it was going to be horrible. I loved air (still need the last disc) and Kanon is pretty good too! I was surprised.
LOL @ the flake response. I can't imagene that comig from Zac's mouth. Not that i've heard his voice...
spoiler[Nothing resolved. Nothing truly explained. zombie monsters, killing, fighting, more monsters, killing, death, blood, boobs, death. It's an earthquake! END. ] Good thing it was $12.50 in that sale. And it had such an awesome opening song.
I wasn't into the fansubs before this, but I started taking a look after. I bought the show based on the preview/review, and I was horribly let down. $115 gone down the drain.
The ending commentary from the english va's almost made up for it though.
"Everyone wears a turtle neck in this show..."
These are the only two coming to mind now. i'll edit if i think of more.

Wow...I was really disappointed with the responses to the Animefans section. I'll admit that I totally expected it, but I was surprised at how many of the published ones were "only anime is good."
Well...this is an anime site, but still.
Charles Castleberry was the only one response that saved it for me. They are two very different audiences, and each appeal to their own in their own way. Even one of the most hardcore okatus will still miss a large number of the jokes simply due to cultural and language differences. Anyone that claims they caught every joke in Pani Poni Dash for example...is lying.
But this was the one that really got me:
Invalidating your statement by saying you don't watch a lot of them is a bad way to start, but let's ignore that.
"variation of gross-out humour, prat-falls, or lowest common denominator guffaws." - Replace "variation of gross-out humour" with 'obscure anime reference' (aka niche pop culture reference), 'lame puns' or even, 'exposed, animated female anatomy' and look at that! You've got anime comedy!
Comedy is comedy. It's hard to write, and focused towards your specific audience, but it's pretty much the same. You see a lot of the same elements worldwide because they work.
I've been watching anime for about a decade, so I can catch a good number of the anime references (which means about 60% of Pani Poni Dash, with notes) but I can't say I've ever laughed as hard at anime as I have at American comedies. I nearly suffocated from laughing so hard at one episode of South Park...good times.
I was just surprised at the percentage of responses claiming anime was better without comparing some North American humor (admit it, Canadian's have good humor too), pointing out that the audience matters, or in general admitting they don't watch American comedies while still blindly stating anime was better.
Then again, as I pointed out already...this is a gathering of anime fandom and anime journalism site.

What's with the second Hey! Answerfans, isn't it answering last week's question or something...
I found FMA's ending dissapointing myself, it kinda lacked closure, I also didn't like how The Girl Who Leapt Through Time ended, the first 2/3 or so was great, but then it goes all weird with spoiler[her friend being a time traveller] and it just doesn't feel as solid.

Car shopping is becoming easier on eBay, which shoppers can now access via a new eBay Motors app for the iPhone.
Everyone knows you can buy just about anything on eBay, including cars and trucks and vehicle accessories. Now eBay Inc. says it's making vehicle buying and selling even easier through a new eBay Motors mobile app for Apple Inc.'s iPhone.
And eBay Motors shoppers aren't wasting any time making use of that app. In the first quarter, the number of vehicles sold on the eBay Motors section of eBay.com via a mobile device more than doubled over the year-earlier quarter, eBay says, declining to provide specific sales figures.
The eBay Motors app lets shoppers search for vehicles to buy; share vehicle data on Facebook and Twitter; access AutoCheck, a vehicle history report service from Experian; and access their eBay accounts.
The app also enables users to shop for parts and accessories by scanning a car or truck's vehicle identification number, a unique code for each motor vehicle. The app then places the vehicle's year, make and model in the My Garage feature that stores a user's vehicle information. From My Garage, users can shop for parts and accessories on eBay from within the app.
Steve Yankovich, eBay vice president of mobile, says he expects consumers to peruse the app even if they are not in the market for a car, and "get inspired for their next purchase."
EBay is on the right track in making online car buying easier for shoppers, according to consultants Capgemini. Consumers likely to buy a vehicle online cite their two biggest motivations as ease and speed of shopping, says Capgemini's Cars Online 2010/2011 report.
The report also notes that one-third of U.S. consumers say they are likely or very likely to purchase a vehicle online.
One big one: attracting sellers by eliminating listing fees.

Samsung DVD-R135
- HDMI cable included, easy to find recordings, wide range of supported formats
- Analogue tuner
Bottom Line
A decent enough DVD recorder, but the lack of a digital tuner is a big letdown
Price$ 399.00 (AUD)
Samsung's DVD-R135 is a DVD recorder with a built in TV tuner. This is coupled with HDMI out and the ability to upscale DVDs to High Definition at either 720p or 1080i. It all sounds like a great replacement for the VCR, but there are a few major limitations that prevent the system from being a must have.
First up, one of the biggest problems with the DVD-R135 is the lack of a digital tuner. It's all well and good for Samsung to laud the High Definition features of this device, but when the TV tuner uses an analogue signal it seems a little inconsistent. A digital tuner would have made far more sense, improving the picture quality and increasing the number of channels, yet not adding much to the price. Worse still, if you plan to connect your existing set top box to the DVD-R135 you can only do so using a composite or S-video connection.
The second problem is not specific to the DVD-R135 but to all DVD-recorders. This is the lack of a hard drive. On the highest quality setting you can get approximately an hour's worth of recording time out of a single recordable DVD. If you're the kind of person who likes to record a lot, this means plenty of disc switching. Of course there is one advantage to ditching the hard drive and that's price; DVD recorders come in at a fraction of the cost of hard disk recorders.
Once you've moved past these particular limitations the DVD-R135 is a decent little machine. Coming in an attractive piano black and silver combination Samsung has got the aesthetics spot on. Setup is incredibly simple, and what the recorder may lack in inputs it makes up for with outputs. Everything is covered here including component, optical and coaxial. This is of course in addition to HDMI, and Samsung are one of the few generous manufacturers who actually include an HDMI cable in the box. For anyone without HDMI on their television Samsung has a cheaper, yet near identical model, the DVD-R130, which lacks HDMI. Recording is made as easy as can be, with the option for instant record at the touch of a button or the ability to set times in advance.
Unfortunately the DVD-R135's formats are rather limited, with only DVD-R and DVD-RW discs supported both for recording and playback. This isn't a huge issue as there is plenty of media available in these types, but with many devices supporting a full range of formats (DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM etc.), it is noteworthy nonetheless. When it comes to playing back recorded scenes Samsung has included an incredibly easy to use list system, which previews the footage in a corner window. Each recording is time stamped and is labelled with an editable file name. At the highest quality setting we found recordings to differ only slightly from the television broadcast, with small compression blocks occasionally visible. Moving to standard quality, which allows about two hours of recording, things were not as good, but still acceptable. Turning to long and extended recording modes, however, which can record up to eight hours on one disc, things really took a downturn. These modes are only recommended if you really don't care what it looks or sounds like.
One other nifty feature is the inclusion of fast playback with audio. This means when you use fast forward it is still possible to hear the sound, though only up to 1.5x speed. Samsung suggest this is helpful for when you want to hear all the news, but just don't have the time to sit through the whole thing. We tested it, and it works, but unless the audio is very clear it becomes hard to work out what is being said; and everyone sounds like they've just inhaled helium.
DVDs can also be recorded straight from a camcorder using a FireWire connection, which is useful. In addition the DVD-R135 can play data discs containing MP3s, JPEG photos or MPEG4 videos. Though this isn't the best implementation we have seen, the interface was generally easy to follow and all the files we tried worked. MPEG4 videos include both AVI and DivX, so their support is definitely a welcome feature. The final feature of the DVD-R135 is its use as a regular DVD player. We tried a few DVDs and found the quality to be slightly above average at standard 576p.
Overall, Samsung has done a decent job with the DVD-R135, but we still feel the lack of a digital tuner will be a major turn off for most people. If you want to make recordings from external sources, however, then the system is a good buy.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

New Forest 1 Day
Had a great day out today in the sunshine (for a change) in the heart the New Forest. Spent the day with Adam , Jonny, Katie, Rachel, Michael, Daniel and Paul. The day was spent going through camera settings and a little on composition and photoshop to get these guys off auto settings. Lucky as well to see the Deer feeding as a couple of the group wanted long lens training. Picture By Jonny Moss. We have a day coming up in Bath on the 8th May with just 2 places left at the moment.
Monument Valley – Mike Witt
Here are some shots taken by Mike Witt on the recent USA tour. We were staying at 'The View' Hotel in the National Park. These shots were taken from Mikes Balcony – Night and Day.
Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley
This trip has really flown by with visits to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, then onto Page to visit Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. We have just left Monument Valley after a night of star trail photography and a stunning sunrise. I have not had time to process any images at the moment so all shots are from my phone. Off to Bryce and Zion over the next couple of days before returning to Las Vegas for a night at the Golden Nuggett in old Vegas.

Outdoor athletic facilities are not part of the $49.4 million Port Washington-Saukville School District referendum plan approved by voters last month, but that's not to say improvements like a synthetic-turf football field are not on the minds of school officials. After a passing reference was made to a football field project during a school board meeting Monday, Supt. Michael Weber said in an interview Tuesday that just such a project would be a priority if private funds can be raised or if referendum projects are completed under budget and there is money remaining for the field. Weber said the district's first priority is the successful completion of a $45.6 million renovation of Port Washington High School and construction of a $3.8 million addition at Dunwiddie Elementary, but the concept of a new football field at its current site immediately west of the high school was discussed during early referendum planning to the point of securing rough cost estimates. Director of Business Services Jim Froemming said a synthetic-turf field and improvements to support it, such as a new drainage system, are estimated to cost between $800,000 and $1 million. Press box renovations are also being considered. "I'd even like to see a no-dirt infield on our baseball field to further reduce maintenance costs," Froemming said.

Oracle Database 12c review: Finally, a true cloud database
Pluggable databases bring a new level of efficiency and ease to database consolidation, while a wealth of other new features address performance, availability, and more
Cardinality Feedback -- a feature introduced in Version 11g -- monitors the execution of SQL statements and reoptimizes if the actual cardinality, such as the number of rows returned from the query, varies greatly from the cardinality estimates. A new feature in 12c called Adaptive Plan takes the next step in SQL auto-tuning. Instead of choosing the final execution plan at parse time, Optimizer defers the final choice among multiple sub-plans until execution time.
Essentially, Optimizer introduces a piece of code, aptly named Statistics Collector, into SQL execution. Statistics Collector buffers rows from early steps in the execution plan. Depending upon the number of rows retrieved, the Optimizer chooses the final execution plan. The chosen plan will be reused for subsequent executions of the statement if the cursor is shared. A just-in-time Optimizer!
Adaptive Reoptimization, similar to the Cardinality Feedback feature, affects only the subsequent executions of a SQL statement. If the Optimizer estimates are vastly different from the execution statistics, then the Optimizer uses the execution statistics as a feedback mechanism and reparses the SQL statement during the next execution.
Generally, the quality of the statistics directly equates to the quality of execution plans generated by the Optimizer, bugs notwithstanding. In Version 12c, if the quality of available statistics is not good enough, then the Optimizer can dynamically sample the tables to recollect statistics. This dynamic statistics collection uses the same methods as dynamic sampling available in earlier releases, except that, in Database 12c, these statistics are also stored for future use.
Performance features
Version 12c introduces numerous performance enhancements. I will review a few of the more important ones.
Traditionally, queries with union or union all branches execute one after another, meaning that one branch of the union or union all is executed, followed by the next branch, and so on. Version 12c introduces concurrent execution of union branches, meaning that one set of parallel servers will be executing one branch, a second set of parallel servers will be executing a different union all branch, and so on, all at the same time.
This concurrent execution feature will be very useful if the majority of the query execution time is spent outside of the database, such as when waiting for a SQL*Net message from a remote database link or for an SOA call response. The effective use of this new feature could reduce wait time dramatically, improving SQL elapsed time. (Incidentally, with Version 12c, SQL*Net packets can be compressed for database traffic, helping to reduce latency in a WAN environment.)
A classic problem with parallelism is that all of the parallel servers required for an operation may not be available at the moment of parallel statement initiation, leading to parallel statements executing across a smaller number of parallel servers. Parallel statement queuing -- a feature introduced in Version 11.2 -- resolved the problem by queuing up the sessions whenever sufficient parallel servers were not available. With Database 12c the user can construct multiple parallel statement queues using the database resource manager, bypass parallel statement queueing for critical statements, and group multiple parallel statement together to reduce wait time in parallel statement queues.
Also new in Version 12c, multiple indexes can be created on the same set of columns. For example, the user can create bitmap and b-tree indexes on the same set of columns, or even create a unique and non-unique index on the same set of columns. Multiple indexes will be useful whenever you want to convert an index from one type to another type, or convert a partitioned index to a nonpartitioned or vice versa, with minimal downtime. Of course, the user can choose to maintain multiple indexes on the same set of columns permanently, too.
High availability
In Oracle Database, the concept of a service involves a connection property specified to connect to a desired instance. We commonly use services to balance the workload among the instances of a Real Application Cluster, for example. Version 12c introduces Global Data Services, which balances the workload not only among instances, but also among the databases.

By any chance, how does it look in color?

May 6 Residential Capital LLC Chief Executive Thomas Marano has resigned as the mortgage subsidiary of auto lender Ally Financial Inc works its way out of bankruptcy.
Marano, who joined ResCap in 2008, will remain as a member of the board. He had headed the mortgage department at now defunct investment bank Bear Stearns.
ResCap filed for bankruptcy in May 2012 to protect its parent from mortgage liabilities that threatened to swamp the company. Ally is 74 percent-owned by the U.S. government after a series of bailouts.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said the party was committed to the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya. He also sought the blessings of saints to provide it the power and capability so that the task could be done.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanded that Parliament pass a law in the monsoon session enabling the construction of the Ram temple or else face massive agitation. Making a brief appearance at the meeting of the VHP's Kendriya Margdarshak Mandal, which took place here at the Sector-10, Kumbh Mela, camp of Sri Rasia Baba, Singh said, "The Ram temple must be constructed at Ayodhya. We have always been committed to it and continue to remain committed. I call upon you to provide us power and capability so that I could make my own little contribution."
Singh compared his role to that of a squirrel, which according to the Ramayana, had played a minuscule but determined role in construction of the Ram Setu (bridge) and earned praise from Lord Ram.
Later, talking to mediapersons, Singh said that now party leaders have stopped making statements about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi being projected as the prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 elections.
Singh also insisted that no political inference should be drawn from his visit here as he had come to the Kumbh only for a spiritual experience and to take the blessings of saints. Earlier, he also took a dip in Sangam along with state BJP president Laxmikant Bajpai and other leaders.
Speaking at the meeting, VHP adviser Ashok Singhal said, "The court has given its verdict that there was no mosque at the disputed site. It is up to Parliament to pass a law to enable construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya."

Madaari – Irrfan Khan Is The Only Saving Grace In This...
Madaari Movie Review - Irrfan Khan plays Nirmal Kumar, a techie in the movie. A public tragedy that caused by the corrupt political system killed his son. And that provides enough motives for Nirmal Kumar to kidnap the boy.

I stayed here with my husband for a special occasion. On arrival we had complimentary champagne brought to our room. The decor was beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our airline had gone on strike that week and before we arrived a lovely staff member called Davide helped us to find alternative accommodation as they were fully booked. The hotel that he recommended was also fabulous. We will be back soon.

Customer review by An anonymous customer
I bought this bike only a week ago for its price. I wanted a mountain bike that I didn't have to pay $150 for it. This was my choice. I have ridden it a couple of times, but nothing big. Just a visit to the store 1 mile away. The seat was a bit hard and uncomfortable, so I bought a gel seat. The back brake touched the handlebar when I braked, but that was taken care of. Overall, its not a really bad bike if you just want to use it for rides not so far away. I still haven't tried riding for a couple hours or on mountain trials. p.s. my bike is a different color but the same model and the gel seat is a bell gel fusion seat.
Customer review by neeceej
The bike is a nice size and very pretty, however, the seat is HORRENDOUS!! I had to go the bike shop and buy a new seat that cost $30.00. Now that I am ready to ride the bike the chain is loose. It seems that I am spending more time and money getting it ready to ride than riding it. I am not very happy with this product.

Hi everyone. We are starting to plan a trip to Turkey early next year.
As part of the itinerary, we want to do a full day tour of Ephesus to see the ruins and then a full day tour of Pamukkale to see the limestone travertines. We will be flying into Izmir from Istanbul (or possibly Kayseri if we visit Cappadocia first).
My question is - should we base ourselves in Izmir or Kusadasi to visit these places? I understand there are decent length drives each way. But is Izmir more convenient to stay or Kusadasi? Which town is prettier (we'd like to do a bit of shightseeing in the town where we base ourselves).
Thanks in advance for sharing your tips!

Izmir vs. Kusadasi? Which works best as a base?
Hi everyone. We are starting to plan a trip to Turkey early next year.
Report Abuse
I would definitely choose Kusadasi over Izmir. Kusadasi is much closer to Ephasus. Kusadasi itself is a pleasant enough larger town, although it's too touristy for my tastes. We stayed in Selcuk, very near Ephasus, and were very happy with our decision. The town has a very nice pedestrian-only downtown filled with great restaurants and some shops, and there are several sights in Selcuk worth visiting (the remnants of St. Johns Bascilica, the Ephasus Museum, and one of the oldest mosques in Turkey).
Report Abuse
Hi Tracy, thanks for the info. I had not previously considered Selcuk before. Not only it is very close to Ephesus, but I think it's a quicker drive to Pamukkale (takes about 3 hours I think).
My question is - how long does it take to drive from Izmir Airport to Selcuk? On the way back, we will by flying from Izmir to Istanbul, and based on how long it takes, we have to figure out the return flight timings. Thanks!
Report Abuse
Baby_Bear, the drive from the Izmir airport to Selcuk is only about 45 minutes on a nice, fast road. We were in Turkey in February and had a great time. If you click on my name you can find my trip report if you are interested. We stayed at the Hotel Bella in Selcuk and were quite pleased.
Report Abuse
Thanks Tracy. Really appreciate the info. It looks like Selcuk is the place to base ourselves. I am particularly pleased by the fact that the drive to Pamukkale is only 3 hours - on the day we visit there, we were kinda dreading a 4 hour drive each way from Kusadasi. 3 hours each way sounds loads better! They seem to have some nice hotels too.
Report Abuse
Another vote for staying in Selcuk.
Report Abuse
If you want some nightlife and shopping malls as well, definately Izmir.
Report Abuse
I'm a little late coming into this discussion, but my vote is also Selcuk. It's only a few minutes' drive from Ephesus and we absolutely loved the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk. We stayed at the Hotel Bella, across from the St. John Basilica. Their rooftop terrace is not to be missed! You can also check out my trip report entitled "Two Continents..." under my former user name ellencmog.

I've stayed in Selcuk and Izmir. Selcuk is great for visiting Ephesus and some of the other archeological sites nearby. There is a museum and a few sights, Mary's House, Church of St. John there but not a great resturant scene.
However, you might want to spend a day or two in Izmir. Izmir has some fine restaurants, a couple of interesting museums and I liked the shopping in the bazaar and the Alcansak district. Izmir has a huge selection of hotels in all price categories and the walk along the seafront park is really outstanding. As an avove poster pointed out, it is only a 45 minute drive or 1-1/2 hours on the train to Selcuk.
Kusadasi is a port town for ships and didn't interest me too much but some might find it ok.
I did the Miletus, Didyma tour and that takes you to ancient Greek cities in Turkey. I liked it and a hotel or tourist office can sign you up on a bus tour. They visit some carpet or ceramic shops but the work is good.

her running away was always known
time is always fixed, it cannot be changed. if you knew every single tiny little particle and where it was going in the universe half a second after the universe was made, you could tell everything
she knew she was dead, but the ball already knew she would run
#9 - gragasvlad (10/18/2015) [-]
If we use set timelines then no, because she seesa future where she runs away from the man and he kills her with a crtyal ball, this prompts her to run in panic and thus he runs after her and kills her with a crystal ball. It's a self fufilling profecy
#4 - pedobearrocks (10/18/2015) [-]
**pedobearrocks used "*roll picture*"**
**pedobearrocks rolled image** You gotta think that she just saw him beating her to death , not what caused it
So naturally she tries to run away to survive
#3 - ifreakinglovepizza (10/18/2015) [-]
only if:
1. she saw the future
2. did something to change it
cause then that means she didn't see the future. but then we get into the thing with multiple timelines... yadda yadda...
but if we use back to the future style time, then no. this would not be a paradox.

**eatwaffles used "*roll picture*"**
**eatwaffles rolled image**Let the girls play with each other while you watch for a while, until you calm down.
Or you can do the really tried and true method of yanking it before the encounter. There are some lubes too, but be careful not to get that on the girls, otherwise you risk desensitizing them and ruining their orgasm.
Good luck, have fun, and make sure everyone talks at length about it before you have the threesome! Especially if you are all friends, or one is your girlfriend.
