I am 53 years old and was diagnosed yesterday with severe arthritis. I have been in a state of major chronic pain for the past 5 years. I have been suffering from side effects of medication such as cortisone. Do you suggest that I detoxify my body from all the medication I have been taking? I am looking forward to a natural approach.For a detox you can take Boldocynara or Milk Thistle from A.Vogel. Boldocynara will actively eliminate toxins that can accumulate in the body, by stimulating the elimination of bile from the liver. Milk Thistle acts as a protector and tonic for ... Read more >
I've always been told that the body should be alkaline; here, I am told to keep the colon acidic to improve intestinal flora…where is the balance?The body pH and intestinal pH are two totally different things.

No pontificating much on this one, folks - the second long trailer for The Hobbit, by director Peter Jackson (prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy), is now up on the InterWebs.
If you haven't seen it yet, please feel free to watch it here and enjoy the goodness that is Gandalf, Bilbo, a bunch of dwarves and Gollum.
In related news, the makers of the Les Miserables movie, which was supposed to debut on the same day as The Hobbit, announced they were moving their release date to Dec. 25. So I won't have to spend 10 hours at the movie theater on Dec. 14, thankfully.

**need Advice Please For First Wedding Cake Consultation**
Hello all, not sure if this is the right place to post, but what the heck!
I'm doing my first wedding cake consultation in the morning. Not sure what to ask or expect. I have my form, but this is all new since TX just became legal for home bakers. I will put on the form that proper legal info, but I need to know how to conduct the consultation. I've been getting orders like crazy (thank God) so now I'm getting my feet wet. I don't want to miss an important question. One that sticks in my mind and isn't on my form is about food borne allergies. Can anyone please offer advice on what to ask and any other helpful pointers? Also, I'm having it at my house (she's related to someone I know). What do other home bakers do for consultations? Where do you meet? I don't want to conduct future consultations in my house. I'm also doing 2 cupcakes for the flavors she mentioned and standard buttercream for her to taste. I would GREATLY appreciate help! Thank you!

Ok. So Im having a hard time finding a job. I am moving to SC in a couple weeks and it seems harder than ever to find something. Is this the norm now (as I've been employed for a long time) or is it because we are military? Im confused and have no idea what I should be doing....any ideas?
What type of job are you looking for? I know that I am in the teaching field and have been looking for something outside of the home and jobs are scarce here!
Yes, unfortunately it's the norm it seems. When I got laid off a few years ago I had the worst time finding something new. Was such a stressful time.
I have a back ground in mental health and would love to get back into that however, I have been doing marketing for the past few years. I honestly am not even picky at this point.
I figured it was just the way things were still. But like I said, Ive been employed and thankfully havent had to go through this :(

Rick Adriolo Poems
Anger Management..
Ten, nine..
Inside I feel a silent roar that builds up more and more..
In my heart I contain this urge that is trying to emerge..
I feel it swell up in me, inside of me, I try to scream it away silently..
You keep talking and talking and I just want you to shut up..
Eight, seven..
Slowly it begins to shiver and shake, these hands that begin to ache..
Sweat and blood from these fist clenced so hard they are hard to be missed..
Sick of this anger in me, inside of me, trying to get out so violently..
You keep talking and talking and I just want you to shut ...
Inspiration comes and goes.
I write it down or I'll forget while searching for a pen.
Inspiration comes and goes.
I get is from dreams or experiences.
Inspiration comes and goes.
But tell me, what inspires you.
I'm inspired by beauty, love and lust.
Giving me words and thought I dare to trust.

arctica dunes over the knee sock; gray
Not my favorite FP socks. The idea is really cute with the tiny bow-ties at the top. I do like the eyelet detailing along the body of the sock as well. However, the biggest issue is that the bow-ties don't sit on the same place on each leg, which is really annoying. I would prefer that they both face out or in, etc, but one is on the side, and the other is on the front of the leg. I don't know if it's just my pair, but it's really irritating. Not as soft as I would like, either.

Jim Litke: Americans get away with one
Credit: The Associated Press
Credit: The Associated Press
The Americans got away with one. There's no denying that.
Mexico, playing at home, was the better team. They possessed the ball more, created more scoring chances (17 shots to 1) and corner kicks (15-2) and rarely stopped surging, even after one questionable call went against them early, bookended by an undeniably bad call late.
Facing a young and inexperienced U.S. defense, they effectively turned the last five minutes of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier at Azteca Stadium into target practice. For once, it wasn't enough.

I am a former announcer for Life FM. I believe that Rhema Media has a significant place in New Zealand for the public communication of the Gospel in a way that is relevant for people going about their lives every single day.

My working career has been varied and not without its challenges and adventure. This has given me a broad range of skills and over 20 years of experience in leadership, management and administration.
I am privileged to have previously served on the Board, so am thankful for another opportunity. At Rhema we have seen so many exciting milestones over those years. To have a nationwide multimedia mission takes not only a skilled and dedicated staff who do an amazing job, but also requires the partnership of everyday New Zealanders, like you and me, who are committed to support Rhema Media, through prayer, as an advocate or as a financial partner, so this mission truly fulfils its Mission Statement of "Connecting Kiwis to Christ through media". Thank you for your support.
I have been blessed with 26 years of marriage to my wife Jane and we have a teenage son. We are also both actively involved in the community and our local church. We are all Life fm converts and love the impact this network is having on the current and next generation.

Hawaii will receive $219,075 in federal funding to support several community health centers, Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Senator Daniel K. Akaka and U.S. Representative Mazie K. Hirono announced today.
The Waimanalo Health Center, The Bay Clinic in Hilo, and the Hana Community Health Center will receive grants to enhance and expand their healthcare services.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services administers the competitive Health Center Cluster Grants, which were created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to create jobs and spur economic growth.
"These health clinics are critical to meeting the immediate health needs of the communities they serve," said Senator Akaka. "I am pleased that they will be receiving more Federal support to carry out their important work in underserved communities on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island."
"Community health centers provide much needed healthcare in rural and underserved communities where residents may face financial, cultural, or geographic barriers to quality, affordable care," said Senator Inouye. "Community health centers play a vital role in promoting wellness and improving the quality of life for Hawaii's residents."
"These outstanding local community health centers work each day to improve the lives of their patients, especially in high-need areas of my congressional district," said Congresswoman Mazie Hirono. "By supporting community health centers, we recognize that all families deserve basic health services, regardless of where they live or the amount of money in their bank accounts."
Health Center Cluster Grant Recipients:
Waimanalo Health Center $86,325
The Bay Clinic $72,302
Hana Community Health Center $60,448

Some of my classmates, as well as their co-authors, have recently released a great NBER working paper that gets at a really important question in health economics: how much do we spend to improve health? Specifically, how much is a life worth?
The authors observe the following phenomenon, babies born just below the 1500 g "low birth weight" threshold actually have lower mortality than children born just above the threshold. This discontinuity, they argue, is due to the fact that children born just below the threshold get extra medical services than those who are born just above the threshold. At this threshold, medical care does appear to be effective. They then calculate the additional costs of treating these children to the additional gains in terms of reduce mortality to estimate that saving a life of a newborn is $550,000 in 2006 dollars in the US.
This is really, really great work so I thought it was worth sharing their findings.Share on Facebook

Mobile phone owners who have invested in an Apple iPhone have been advised to research the market for the best insurance policy.
According to Sarah Cox of the Daily Mail, many mobile phone companies provide insurance cover to their customers.
However, she noted that the level of protection they offer can often be beaten in price by other organisations.
Indeed, Ms Cox said people who shop around for the best deals could potentially get their iPhone covered for about half the price offered by leading mobile phone companies.
Consumers were advised that investing in insurance is "essential" if they have bought a high-end smartphone, or have received one as a gift.
"The iPhone has become the gadget of choice for many, but losing one is expensive," Ms Cox commented.
People with the handset were urged to consider their options when looking at insurance policies and not to automatically go for the first product they are offered.
Ms Cox also recommended that iPhone owners look at the small print on every policy, as the excess on insurance claims can differ significantly between each provider.
She added that consumers must then consider whether an insurance policy offers them good value for money.
This, she stated, is because people who "don't have a track record of phone destruction/loss" often end up subsidising those who "seem to lose or break phones for a hobby".
The advice comes after a report by comScore revealed that between September and November 2010, Apple had a 25 per cent share of the smartphone market in the US.
Figures also showed that during this three-month period, the overall number of smartphone owners went up by ten per cent on the previous quarter.
Research in Motion was found to be the market leader in the US, followed by Google Android.
Apple came in third place, followed in the rankings by Microsoft and Palm.

The New Orleans Fire Department recently donated $21,070 to the South East Louisiana Chapter of the American Red Cross to support efforts to provide smoke alarm protection to every home in Orleans Parish.
The Fire Department raised the money during a Boot Shake campaign in March, which is Red Cross Month.
In support of two smoke alarm initiatives, Project: S.A.F.E. and Operation: Save-a-Life, the American Red Cross has donated more than 1,700 10-year smoke alarms and more than 300 9-volt batteries for installation in the homes of Orleans Parish residents.
Any Orleans Parish resident in need of smoke alarm protection should contact the New Orleans Fire Department at (504) 658-4714 or email@example.com. Residents of surrounding parishes in need of this service should contact their local fire department or the Louisiana state fire marshal at (800) 256-5452.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
CNET News.com is making headlines with their probe into search engine privacy. Equating "trying to learn how your favorite search engine protects your privacy can be as frustrating as a "Where's Waldo?" book", CNET were prepared to ask the privacy questions for us. The five biggest search engines – Google, AOL, Yahoo!, Microsoft and Ask.com, received an eight-question survey, to ascertain just what their position is on privacy!
1. What search-related data – including IP addresses, cookie IDs, user identities, and search terms – do you retain?
2. How long do you retain this data?
3. If you retain data for a limited period of time, is it completely deleted (in such a way that the data and backups cannot be recovered, even under court order) or is it anonymized instead?
4. If the data is anonymized, exactly how do you do this?
5. Do you do behavioral targeting, meaning showing ads to users based on their behavior across multiple queries?
6. If you do, is there a way for users to opt out of behavioral targeting?
7. Do you use knowledge about your users (such as ZIP code, e-mail address, gender, or birth date) obtained through user registration to deliver targeted ads on your search engine?
8. Do you use knowledge about the identities of your users' instant messaging or e-mail correspondents when using those services, or the contents of those communications, to deliver targeted ads on your search engine?
And… here's a summary of what each search engine had to say about their privacy policies
Search related data (IP addresses, cookie IDs, search terms and user identities) may be retained by AOL for up to 13 months, they do conduct behavioral targeting (and allow you to opt-out of it), however don't use your registration data to target you with ads.
Ask.com launched a completely redesigned site in June and with this comes some great new privacy features. Ask.com will soon launch AskEraser (maybe by the end of the year), a new system that means users will not have their search data retained for longer than a few hours. Ask doesn't use behavioral targeting, and do not use your details to serve you targeted ads!
Not surprisingly, the longest, and most ambiguous, answers came from Google! The search giant may keep your search data for up to 18 months; they're big on developing behavioral targeting but don't give you the option of opting-out, however won't deliver you targeted ads in their results.
Microsoft may retain your IP address, cookie ID, and search terms for 18 months, however, they assure us that this information could not be used to identify a specific user. Microsoft users are also treated to behavioral targeting, and your registration details enable them to deliver targeted ads while you're searching.
Yahoo! can keep your search related data for up to 13 months, and will target you with ads, based on your previous search behaviour. Your registration details (ZIP code, gender, birthdate or e-mail address) can also be used to deliver you targeted advertising, while you are logged on!
I have to admit that I'm not one to fear that Big Brother is watching. If I'm not comfortable with the data that a sign-up, or registration requires, then I simply won't enter it or won't register – other than that, I'm actually quite lax about giving my details away. Even so, it is good to know that even the biggest companies are called to account for how they control the information we give them, and if they seem less than transparent about the exact details, maybe that's because some of it's private?
Keep up to date with the latest from our blogs.

After watching the first 5 episodes of PaniPoni Dash, I think I finally get how Japanese humor works. During the show I found myself laughing following up with "what was that about?" For some reason I flashed back to a psychology class I took, and I remembered that humor or something funny is defined by unexpectedness. Then it hit me that the Japanese take this quite literally. It's funny because it's unexpected (example being unsheathing a bouquet of flowers instead of a sword). It's a different form of humor that we in the US aren't really used to. It may not always make me laugh as hard as plenty of stand-up comedians do, but with this newfound understanding I definitley enjoy it much more.

The reading of the kanji 一個 is ikko.

Yes, when read alone. In compounds, such as 一個人, it can be read as ichiko (-jin in the case of this compound). That is, with the ichi fully enunciated, instead of truncated with sokuon.
It's not such as stretch to imagine the ko undergoing the transformation from unvoiced ko to voiced go. Although I will freely admit that no such transformation has occurred in any of the compounds including the 個 kanji, that I know of... At least, I don't think it's such a stretch that it precludes punning.

As far as I remember, Ichigo means to protect (defend, guard??) one thing till the end. So I think the ichi means "one".

That's too bad...otherwise we could have stupid puns involving 一期, 一護, 一個, 苺, and maybe a pet cat named イチゴ.

Well, if I may say it without disrespect, it seems that you failed in analysing and resolving 一個人 and erroneously thought 一個人 was composed of 一個 and 人. Actually, 一個人 is composed of 一 and 個人. Even if you broke it off from 一個人 in that wrong way by force, the fragment could not be regarded as a real Japanese expression which is composed of the numeral 一 and the counter for objects 個 and is pronounced いちこ ichiko.
And if you 'freely admit that no such transformation has occurred in any of the compounds include the 個 kanji', I wonder why you said, '...ichigo written with the kanji 一個 can also mean "one unit" or "first unit" in the sense of counting things (especially round or boxy items) or military units'. It sounds as if you believed that the reading of 一個 was ichigo.
Anyway, the reading of 一個 is いっこ ikko, not いちご ichigo. I'm sorry to say so, but since いっこ, the reading of 一個, and いちご, that of 一護, are rather different, even if you dare try to use 一個 in order to pun on 一護 and personally you are under the impression that you are succeeding in the attempt to make a Japanese pun on 一護, in reality the result sounds rather far-fetched and lame to native users of Japanese, especially when there are other Japanese words which are more suitable to pun on 一護.
Since the originator of the theory that Ichigo 'uses the kanji for "ichi"(1), and "go" (counting particle as in "first, second third)' is Ohoni, not you abunai, you may not be particularly interested in advocating the theory in question, however.
As to your ability in Japanese and knowledge of Japanese culture, it seems that some people discussed them on a Japanese bulletin board.
By the way, on the Japanese bulletin board there is also a posting which says ANN staffers read messages posted on it and there is another posting too saying someone in the ANN editorial office proposed that Chris should object to what those Japanese people had said about Anime News Network and its staff there.
Tempest, is it true that your message was going to be translated into Japanese and was going to be posted on the Japanese bulletin board?
And did an ANN staffer post Message No.414 and No.422 (and also No.418 perhaps) on it?
Some Japanese people seem to want to read the message from the Editor in Chief of Anime News Network there.

The topic was brought up. It was decided that going out of our way to address outside criticism on other forums isn't usually worth it. We've done it on a few other websites, and a few people appreciated it, but for the most part, people were unmoved. Even when we convince everyone involved, if you look at the time it takes (and this is in English), that time can generally be better used creating more content for ANN and managing the site.
Over a million people read ANN, Obviously a certain percentage will disapprove of what we say, how we do things, etc... Even if that percentage is only 1%, there's no way we can go out and answer those 1% on whatever Internet forums they may chose to voice their discontent on (that is after all, over 10,000 people).
I honestly do not know who posted those messages. They may, or may not be by ANN staff. Obviously whoever posted it had some understanding of the fact that we were discussing the issue internally, but they seem to have gotten the conclusion wrong.
I wish I could read/write Japanese, I honestly do. Unfortunately at this juncture, it wouldn't be very intelligent of me to take one of our translators off another project, and have them translate 2ch postings for me, as well as my responses for 2ch.
My schedule just never seems to offer up enough free time for me to take proper Japanese courses. And of course, even if it did, it would be years before I could respond on 2ch.
If there is enough interest in my opinion, there are some Japanese Journalists whom I respect and would be happy to speak to at lengths regarding the "Tao of ANN" if they were interested in conducting such an interview and translating it into Japanese.
Regarding the Tori Koro review, I have received more than one comment from Japan on the review.
I discussed the issue at length with one person who was very polite and suggested it was a cultural issue. To which I agree.
Many 4-Koma rely on a style of humor that westerners simply don't find funny. Even translated perfectly, some material just isn't funny to Westerners, even Westerners who appreciate and are interested in Japanese culture.
Also, we're reviewing a translation, it's quite possible that the translator did not manage to capture the essence of what is actually funny in the manga. In the future, we may in fact have a new feature on ANN that compares original Japanese material to the translated North American versions, and discusses how, and why, they diverge.
However, when it comes to reviews, our job, is to review the version marketed to North American anime fans, from a North American anime fan's point of view. Reviewing the original version, from a Japanese fan's point of view, would serve no purpose for our readers.
I'd like to point out that several anime that didn't do particularly well in Japan, have been quite successful here. It's not always a matter of North American's no appreciating the original material, sometimes it's just the opposite, we appreciate it more than the people for whom is was originally made.
If anyone is so inclined to translate the above into Japanese, please feel free, but I probably won't be able to maintain an ongoing discussion on the topic.

I'm going to revive this thread after a little lapse but I'm going to take it to somewhat of a tangent. I would like to comment of the uses of pauses in Japanese humor. It seems to be quite a staple of a type of simple, slapstick humor and also where the script goes into monologue format. There are always carefully placed pauses that are sometimes as funny if not funnier than something completely unexpected happening. These pauses are commonly followed by or accompanied with a shallow sound effect, very awkward expressions by other characters or just a sudden outburst of random activity. I find this humor extremely funny but I am also a big fan of British humor which also employs lots of slapstick and dialogue mishaps but the use of comedic pauses isn't used nearly as extensively as in anime and Japanese comedy TV. In stand up comedy this type of humor is really tough to employ effectively because you really need to know your audience well in order to anticipate whether a sudden abrupt stop is going to generate a roar of laughter or leave the room in a continued dead silence. I think only veteran comedians like Robin Williams and The Smothers Brothers were some of very few who could master the art of laughter from silence.

Thank you for your exposition, tempest.
Since the person who posted Message No.422 said that he was asked to translate your objection into Japanese and post it on the Japanese bulletin board but he declined, he might be a translator for Anime News Network. He also said the reason for having declined to translate and post it was that he thought to translate the objection and to post it were absurd things and that opinion of his pleased the ANN staffer(s). The reasons not to respond to the postings you mentioned here sound more serious, though.
Regarding the reason that you would not respond to them, another poster said, 'ボロが出るから、書き込むわけがない' on the Japanese bulletin board.
Judging from the context, it seems to be probably related to the ANN staff's ability in Japanese. I'm not sure whether the poster's guess about the reason is right, but even if you choose not to take issue with them on the Japanese bulletin board, at least a problem concerning the importance of the ability in Japanese still exists. And as you manage Anime News Network as a serious and professional site about anime and manga, rather than as a 'zine' about anime and manga which amateurs light-heartedly write for and edit just for fun, the ability in Japanese will matter anyway. If Joe Bloggs in Canada buys some translated Japanese novels at a local Chapters store and reads and enjoys them merely as a passtime, questions such as 'Can he read and write Japanese very well?', 'Has he systematically read many important Japanese literary and scholarly works in the original?' and the like are probably rarely brought up. But if he writes articles on Japanese literature for serious magazines specialising in Japanese literature and becomes an editor of one of such literary magazines, those things will inevitably count.
Since you said you wished you could read/write Japanese and it seems that you consider taking Japanese courses and think that to better the site is a way to respond to people who criticise ANN, I suppose you recognise the problem well, however.
As you develop Anime News Network, probably occasions where you communicate with Japanese fans of anime and manga and Japanese people in the industries will increase and it will be an important thing. I hope I will read articles in Japanese written by you and interview articles of you with Japanese journalists in the near future.
You may be too modest to mention your own appearances in media, but didn't a Japanese TV crew interview you when you were in Japan?
I suppose some of the comments on the Tricolo review you mentioned had been done on a thread of 2ch about Hǎilán.
Also on the Hǎilán thread, there was a posting saying that ANN staffers read the Hǎilán thread and advising other posters not to criticise ANN. That posting may have been written by one of the ANN staff, too.
As to Tricolo, it's not bad and Tricolo has been popular among 4-koma manga fans. See the covers of Manga Time Kirara which carried it.
Tricolo sometimes also deals with somewhat serious things in a sensitive and gentle manner and it even has references to Japanese literature.
If English-speaking readers thought the ComicsOne/DrMaster edition of Tricolo was not interesting, unfortunately it is probable that the translated Tricolo is just a shadow of its true self.
A poster on the Hǎilán thread mentioned one of ANN's review guidelines which said that reviews should cover translation quality and he suspected that it had become merely in name only and critics who had language ability and knowledge to judge the translation quality of manga were probably rare. The poster also wrote about non-Japanese people who were too ready to mention Azumanga Daioh in discourse about 4-koma manga because of their being ignorant of other 4-koma manga. If you ask Donald Richie about jidaigeki, probably he can easily mention many key films, directors, and actors of the genre, can talk knowledgeably about them, and has already watched and appreciated those Japanese films. When ANN is going to carry a critique of a 4-koma manga, I'd like to suggest to you that you should ask candidates for critic some equivalent questions about 4-koma manga.
Another poster said it was regrettable that Tricolo was seen as an uninteresting manga in English-speaking countries because of the poor translation. And he said ANN's reviews were, for good or ill, influential and hoped critics who can give an expert opinion on translation quality will write reviews for ANN. He also criticised Carlo Santos, whose Japanese is, to borrow Carlo's own words, 'about kindergarten-level', for having reviewed an imported Japanese novel, too.
I think it is not necessarily a bad thing to have set your sights high in writing the Review Guidelines, but do all of the ANN reviewers understand Japanese extremely well to the degree where they are able to give an expert opinion on the translation quality of anime and manga?
And forgive me for having to ask this, but if you were the editor in chief of a serious Canadian magazine on Japanese literature and your magazine is going to proudly carry a critical essay in which a critic will pass a judgement upon the imported original edtion of a Japanese literary work and will even write about the Japanese style of the Japanese author and the essay declares the criticised book to be the imported original Japanese edtion, will you appoint a person who cannot read Japanese well and depends upon a 'crib' which is in turn amateurs' patchwork translation obtained at a questionable place as critic who is going to write the critical essay?
Humour in manga is often difficult to appreciate for non-Japanese people.
In Dôjin Work a character often speaks in special styles and each of his special styles is amusingly inappropriate or appropriate in an OTT way to the content of what he says or the situation where he is. If a non-Japanese reader or a translator is going to appreciate the funniness of such a scene in the original Japanese edition, he must be able to understand how different the character's Japanese is from 'neutral' Japanese and how inappropriate his style is to the content or the situation.
Also in Pani-Poni, supplementary components such as stylistic nuances and connotative meanings sometimes play important roles. If managing to grasp just the cognitive meaning of the dialogue is all a foreign reader can do and he cannot appreciate the stylistic nuances, connotations, etc., he will miss the point. When a translator is under the impression that he understands a piece of Japanese discourse, it is probable that in reality what he can figure out is merely the cognitive meaning of it and he cannot comprehend the stylistic nuances, connotative meanings and the like of it. Even Basil Hall Chamberlain had not been able to understand the nuance and connotation of a Japanese expression when he had translated a Japanese poem into English and later he was criticised by Donald Keene for it. Brigid Alverson wrote, 'We're starting to feel like we're missing something.' http://www.mangablog.net/
Probably her guess is right, perhaps more than she expected.
That is an interesting idea. Some publishers, translators, and reviewers may not welcome it and the project will require a critic who can understand Japanese perfectly, though. I hope that ANN will carry such articles in which a capable critic will compare the translation with the original Japanese edition and analyse them.
Certainly, if a writer in a non-Jpanese country writes a review of a manga for general readers, probably he will deal with the translated edition marketed to them. But the translated edition's being marketed to the general readers and whether it is a reliable edition is two different things. Rather than to ask you to review the original edition from a Japanese fan's point of view, probably what the Japanese posters were thinking was the matter of validity of a critique of a translated manga in case of the translation's being poor, inadequate, etc.
And a possible related danger about reviewing a translated manga is that some people, including the critic himself if the worst comes to the worst, naïvely think script-related defects pointed out in the review can be simply and automatically attributed to the creator of the original edition and are not mindful that possibly those defects should be attributed to problems related to translation. The reason why you wisely wrote that item in the Review Guidelines was that you recognised translation-related problems similar to these, I presume.
Speaking of reviews of 4-koma manga, on the ANN forum you said that you were going to review the ComicsOne edition of a 4-koma manga by Mook for Protoculture Addicts but the translated edition seemed to be unfunny to you and you were afraid that you were missing something. That may have been a similar case. Did you defer writing the review perhaps also your doubting the validity of a manga critique based on information you obtained from an inadequate translation, if I may ask?
Even if an anime or manga is regarded as 'minor' by some people, still I often see Japanese who watch/read/talk about it. To borrow your words used on a thread about conventions, anime and manga are ubiquitous in Japan. In view of the size of the population i.e. the number of Japanese who watch anime/read manga, it is possible that the size of a 'minority', including 'silent minorities', is in a sense not necessarily small. when you think, 'It seems that there were not so many who watched this anime/read this manga in Japan, but a lot of people watch/read it in Canada.' or something along these lines, it might be better to take this factor into account.
As the discussion in question on the Japanese bulletin board includes criticism on non-Japanese fans of anime and manga who show off their ability in Japanese and knowledge of Japanese things, including anime and manga, on anime-related fora but in reality are not good at Japanese and not knowledgeable of them, a non-Japanese person who dare translate what you wrote into Japanese may be one who is utterly confident in his Japanese.
Anyway, I would like to again thank you for your having taken the trouble to explain those matters and I hope for your success in learning Japanese, tempest.

That was a very interesting read, but perhaps it would be slightly more appropriately handled by PM. I already have a great deal of respect for tempest and tenkado-shujin is obviously knowledgeable about Japanese cultural and comedic elements, but I just can't shake the feeling that this was more of a personal matter somewhat ill-suited as an open letter attached to a resuscitated old thread for all to see.

|Hotaru Jainu
|Shinjo Hotaru
|Firefly Clan Founder
Shinjo Jainu was an Emerald Magistrate of the Unicorn Clan who eventually was granted his own clan, the Firefly Clan, and family, the Hotaru, as Hotaru Jainu.
Emerald Magistrate Edit
In 1136 Jainu was a young Emerald Magistrate assigned to a tower overlooking the sea along the shore between Otosan Uchi and the Phoenix lands. Due to the size of the territory he had to patrol, Jairu hired ronins with his own salary, creating regular patrols in the area. his first yoriki was the swordsman Oshio. [1]
Firefly Clan Edit
In 1152 Jainu's men pushed back a small invasion force of allied Yobanjin tribes that had their ships pushed there by a storm. The barbarians were destroyed with the aid of Seppun reinforcements. The Emperor Toturi I granted Jainu his own Minor Clan. Jainu named it the Firefly, for the fires they had maintained along the coast, and took the family name Hotaru from Jainu's father, Shinjo Hotaru. [2]
Ancestral Lands Edit
The Emerald Champion ceded to the fledging minor clan a narrow stretch of unaligned seashore they were patrolling. A series of small watchtowers with support buildings were expanded to house families. The centermost tower became Hotaru Torid-e, the Firefly Keep. Jainu sought out allies, as the Agasha family to the north, who provided crops in return for securing part of their bordering lands, and the Tortoise to the south, who did the same in exchange for knowledge of suspicious ships passing along their watchtowers. [3]
