Canterbury Bulls team to make a comeback
Relevant offers
Rugby League
The Bulls are back.
Rugby league authorities have confirmed the Canterbury Bulls will be the South Island's standardbearer in the National Provincial Premiership top grade this season.
The southern zone board has approved the move in principle and a memorandum of understanding is being drawn up with the Canterbury Rugby Football League.
All players in the South Island are eligible to represent the Bulls in the premier grade but the southern zone's 15 years and 17 years team will continue to play under the South Island Scorpions banner.
The move has been welcomed by CRFL general manager Craig Kerr.
"Since the demise of the Canterbury Bulls, I think the sport has struggled a little bit in terms of its profile and ability to attract sponsorship."
The Bulls were the foremost brand in the former Bartercard Cup season-long national championship between 2000 and 2007. They won the title twice in 2000 and 2003 and were runners-up twice.
The season-long national championship format was abandoned in 2008 and replaced by the Bartercard Premiership competition, a short-season springtime representative competition contested by six provinces.
Former Kiwi Brent Stuart coached the Bulls to the 2009 premiership title but the format changed again in 2010 to a zonal competition featuring each of the New Zealand Rugby League's eight zones.
The southern zone team played for the first three years as the South Island Scorpions in the Albert Baskerville Shield premier grade.
But some Bulls' stalwarts were less than enamoured with the rebranding and made themselves unavailable for the Scorpions.
Stuart said after he stepped down as coach last year that he thought the Canterbury Bulls should be included.
"I don't really want to be disrespectful towards the South Island but the [Scorpions] side is pretty much Canterbury anyway. Most of the boys would sooner play for Canterbury than the South Island."
The Scorpions did field a handful of players from outside Canterbury, notably West Coasters Blair Sims, Lance McEwen and James Ward and Southland's Byron Curtis, who was selected as a Scorpion after moving to Invercargill from Wellington last year. But the majority of Scorpions players, and the coaching staff, were Christchurch-based.
Kerr said the unavailability of some Canterbury players for the Scorpions was probably because "we are a little bit one-eyed, we Cantabrians".
"If you're going to play in a national competition you want to be representing your province. I can totally understand that.
"A few [Canterbury players] struggled with the fact the team was called the South Island Scorpions.
"We might get some more interest from some of those who have been a little reluctant to play in the past."
The Bulls will play in Canterbury's traditional red and black colours. All three of their Baskerville Shield home games will be staged in Christchurch.
Last year, the Scorpions played home games in Nelson and Greymouth. But Kerr said the NZRL had decreed Christchurch should be the home base "because it's World Cup year and don't want to be spending money on expensive flights to get to Nelson, Invercargill or the West Coast".
Former Kiwis back Mike Dorreen, who stepped up to coach the Scorpions after Stuart's retirement last season, would continue as Canterbury Bulls coach, Kerr confirmed.
Applications close on April 29 for coaching positions with the Canterbury representative team to play Wellington in the CRFL's centenary match on Queen's Birthday weekend in June.

Monitis provides the ability to monitor almost any operation on your server. Using simple Linux tools and scripts you are able to monitor each time a user logs into the server and capture various information, including username, host address and login service. Using pam_script and bash scripts, you are able to transmit information to a Custom Monitor with this information.
API Access
The first thing you will need in order to create this monitor is the Monitis API Key and Secret Key. The API Key is a alphanumeric code that allows you to access the Monitis API url's and transmit or receive data about your Monitis services. The Secret Key is an alphanumeric code that allows you to digitally sign your information to ensure that only you can transmit data to your Monitis account. Your API Key may be disclosed to anyone, but your Secret Key must be maintained private and should not be shared nor transmitted. To obtain your Monitis API Key and Secret Key, log into your account and from the top menu bar, go to Tools then API then API Key, it will display both your API Key and your Secret Key.
Now let's test your API access. You should be able to connect and get an Auth Token:
curl 'http://www.monitis.com/api?action=authToken&apikey=[API Key]&secretkey=[Secret Key]&version=2'
- sort all parameters alphabetically by name (excluding the checksum parameter)
- concat all parameter names and values like this: name1value1name2value2…
- create Base64-encoded RFC 2104-compliant HMAC signature using Secret Key
The final rule can be calculated using openssl:
echo -en "name1value1name2value2" | openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac [Secret Key] -binary | openssl enc -base64
Creating a Custom Monitor
In order to create a custom monitor, you must send a POST request to the API. This POST request must contain several parameters: action, name, resultsParams, and tag (refer to http://monitis.com/api/api.html#addCustomMonitor for specifications). We will use the following specifications for the params:
- action=addMonitor
- name=Login Monitor
- resultsParam=user_login:Login Name:logins:3;host:Host Address:hostaddress:3;srv:Service:service:3
- tag=loginMonitor
There is other necessary information in order to communicate with the API:
- apikey=[API Key]
- timestamp=[Current UTC time]
- version=2
# create a Custom Monitor for Monitis
# Be sure to modify the API Key and Secret Key
APIKEY="[API Key]"
NAME="login monitor"
RESULTPARAMS="user_login:Login Name:logins:3;host:Host Address:hostaddress:3;srv:Service:service:3"
TIMESTAMP=`date -u +"%F %T"`
SECRETKEY="[Secret Key]"
# Create Checksum
CHECKSUM_STR="action"$ACTION"apikey"$APIKEY"name"$NAME"resultParams"$RESULTPARAMS"tag"$ TAG"timestamp"$TIMESTAMP"version"$VERSION
CHECKSUM=$(echo -en $CHECKSUM_STR | openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac $SECRETKEY -binary | openssl enc -base64 )
# Post Data to API
POSTDATA="--data-urlencode \"action="$ACTION"\" --data-urlencode \"apikey="$APIKEY"\" --data-urlencode \"name="$NAME"\" --data-urlencode \"resultParams="$RESULTPARAMS"\" --data-urlencode \"tag="$TAG"\" --data-urlencode \"timestamp=$TIMESTAMP\" --data-urlencode \"version="$VERSION"\" --data-urlencode \"checksum="$CHECKSUM"\""
eval "curl ${POSTDATA} $URL"
chmod 755 monitis_create_monitor.sh
The output should look similar to this:
This is showing us that the monitor was successfully created and that the id of the resulting monitor is 305. If you go to your Monitis account now, you will be able to access this monitor. From the top level menu, go to Monitors then Manage Monitors and then Custom Monitors. Here you should find the Login Monitor. Click the check box next to the title and then click Add to Window. A window will pop up below the Custom Monitors dialog box. Close the Custom Monitors dialog box and you will see your new monitor there. But no data has been sent to it, so it is not that interesting.
Sending Data to Custom Monitor
In order to send data to your Custom Monitor, you must provide the action, monitorId, checktime, and results (refer to http://monitis.com/api/api.html#addCustomMonitorResult for specifications). The action is addResult, the monitorId is the id that was returned to us in the previous example (If you forgot the id, don't worry we will get it back), the checktime is the timestamp of the results data, and the results is a string of the parameters and values in this format: name1value1;name2value2
The following script will send data to your Custom Monitor:
# add result to Custom Monitor for Monitis
cat << EOF
usage: $0 options
This script will add results to a Custom Monitis Monitor.
-h Show this message
-a api key
-s secret key
-m monitor tag
-i monitor id
-t timestamp (defaults to utc now)
-r results name:value[;name2:value2...]
CHECKTIME=`date -u +"%s"000`
TIMESTAMP=`date -u +"%F %T"`
while getopts "ha:s:m:i:t:r:s:" OPTION
case $OPTION in
exit 1
if [[ -z $APIKEY ]] || [[ -z $SECRETKEY ]] || [[ -z $MONITOR$ID ]] || [[ -z $RESULTS ]] || [[ -z $CHECKTIME ]]
exit 1
# Get id of monitor if not provided
if [[ -z $ID ]]
XMLID=$(curl -s "$URL?apikey=$APIKEY&output=$OUTPUT&version=$VERSION&action=getMonitors&tag=$MONITOR" | xpath -q -e /monitors/monitor/id)
# Add monitor result
# Create Checksum
CHECKSUM_STR="action"$ACTION"apikey"$APIKEY"checktime"$CHECKTIME"monitorId"$ID"results"$ RESULTS"timestamp"$TIMESTAMP"version"$VERSION
CHECKSUM=$(echo -en $CHECKSUM_STR | openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac $SECRETKEY -binary | openssl enc -base64 )
# Post Data to API
POSTDATA="--data-urlencode \"action="$ACTION"\" --data-urlencode \"apikey="$APIKEY"\" --data-urlencode \"checktime="$CHECKTIME"\" --data-urlencode \"monitorId="$ID"\" --data-urlencode \"results="$RESULTS"\" --data-urlencode \"timestamp=$TIMESTAMP\" --data-urlencode \"version="$VERSION"\" --data-urlencode \"checksum="$CHECKSUM"\""
eval "curl ${POSTDATA} $URL"
Save this file to monitis_add_result.sh and make executable. You can run it with no parameters to get a help menu, that should be self-explanatory. You can either provide the API Key and Secret Key on the command-line or fill in the script to contain it. The script will provide you with the monitorId if you forget yours, but you will have to know the tag name you gave to your Custom Monitor when you created it. Therefore, either your tag or your monitorId is required to run this script.
Capturing Information on Login
Now that we have a script to send data to the Custom Monitor, we need to have data to send. This script could easily be run from .bashrc or /etc/bashrc – and that would work fine, if we knew that no user would be deleting their .bashrc. Since we cannot guarantee that, we will use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) to control how and when we send information to the Custom Monitor. Since no user without root access will be able to alter PAM, this is a secure way to guarantee login information. Also since sshd, sftp, ftp, and most other programs utilize PAM for authentication, this will monitor all logins to the server, not just shell logins.
PAM offers many options and modules, we will be utilizing a module called pam_script. pam_script allows you to execute a script on session open, session close, and/or on auth. You must download and install pam_script first:
wget 'http://freshmeat.net/urls/47ddad89e38001dbe0dc50424e36987b' -O libpam-script.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libpam-script.tar.gz
cd libpam-script-x.x.x #x.x.x is the version that you just download, apparent from tar output
sudo cp pam_script.so /lib/security/
sudo chown root:root /lib/security/pam_script.so
sudo chmod 755 /lib/security/pam_script.so
pam_script is now installed, but not configured. There are three files associated with pam_script, /etc/security/onsessionopen /etc/security/onsessionclose /etc/security/onauth The first two files will work on a session and the last will work for a successful auth. Since we want to monitor successful auths, we will create the onauth file:
# onauth for Monitis Custom Login Monitor
/etc/security/monitis_add_data.sh -m loginMonitor -r "user_login:$USER;host:$HOST;srv:$SERVICE"
This script will require that you move the monitis_add_data.sh script to /etc/security and make it and the onauth script executable by root and owned by root:
sudo mv monitis_add_data.sh /etc/security
sudo chmod 700 /etc/security/monitis_add_data.sh
sudo chown root:root /etc/security/monitis_add_data.sh
sudo chmod 700 /etc/security/onauth
sudo chown root:root /etc/security/onauth
Now we need to set PAM to utilize the pam_script module. Depending on your system this will vary, but you need to edit the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file or something similar on your system. You should add the following line:
# require the scripts to run at auth
auth required pam_script.so runas=root expose=rhost
Here we are telling module to run as root and to expose the rhost variable, which will contain the remote host information that we utilize in the above script with the $PAM_RHOST variable
Testing the Monitor
Now we have a setup that will log all usernames, remote hosts, and service that they logged in from to our Custom Monitor. Give it a try, ssh to your machine several times. You will see the values appear in your account's Custom Monitor.

'Life of Pi': The Young Man and the Sea
By Michael S. Goldberger
iBerkshires Film Critic
11:25AM / Thursday, November 29, 2012
Popcorn Column
by Michael S. Goldberger
Fox 2000 Pictures
Pi Patel, played by 18-year-old Suraj Sharma, retells his spiritual adventure across the Pacific Ocean.
Director Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," adapted by screenwriter David Magee from Yann Martel's fantastical novel, is engaging and fascinating. However, if you've already been through your Hermann Hesse period and have a gift for glibly dismissing that which no longer resonates, "been there, done that" may apply to this foray into Eastern philosophy.
Granted, this is big, expansive, colorful and technically accomplished filmmaking. And yet, though one can't help emote for the title character who finds himself shipwrecked and holed up with a Bengal tiger in a lifeboat for 227 days, my religious faith remains unaltered. Alas, God is still a nice old guy with a long white beard and a Jewish accent.
out of 4
Pi Patel, splendidly portrayed by four different actors at various stages of his life, would have liked it if I had at least expanded on that belief as a result of the spiritual adventure that begins when his dad decides to sell their zoo in India. The ensuing journey across the Pacific, the devastating storm they encounter and what then follows is all rather trippy.
A combination of sensational cinematography, animatronics and computer razzmatazz makes for a world that flits from real to surreal, with a few gauzy stops between those two conditions. Likewise, the spare but pungent script encompasses an amalgam of styles, ranging from the stuff of Rudyard Kipling to Roald Dahl to the Brothers Grimm.
Now, I can't speak for your kid. But a gaggle of moppets whose parents figured they'd find this PG offering metaphysically enlightening seemed much more intent on finding a shorter route to the facilities and the concession stand. But be warned, ye who don't believe in babysitters. The Bengal tiger will scare the bejesus out of anyone south of 8.
Amazing stuff, these electronic scions of yesteryear's puppetry. When Richard Parker (the tiger's name, as it is whimsically explained by Pi) bares his teeth in a wide-mouthed growl, I could swear Smell-O-Vision was also an integral part of this film's technological wonders. I admit to launching from my seat a couple of times, and I'm a little past 8.
Shades of Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" (1944) and the film adaptation of Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" (1958), life aboard the double-ended skiff in an ocean of unknown perils is at once confining and unbearably desolate. Pi is initially joined by the tiger, a hyena, an orangutan and a zebra. But that soon whittles down to the chief protagonists.
Or, is it antagonists, as the story subtly and philosophically asks? It works on a bunch of levels, with both a Western and Eastern impetus tossed into the grand quandary director Lee astutely poses. And if you're up for the ruminative exercise, the gray matter will doubtless explore whatever nooks and crannies of the human existence it finds apt.
But again, don't expect any hard and fast answers or life changing epiphanies. Rather, as the pundits have informed us over the ages, the odyssey is the destination. Viewers with a penchant for the quantitative could feel overly Yin and Yanged at times. What might really throw them is the big surprise at the end. Obscure hint: Think "Sophie's Choice."
That said, the saga is related in the traditional, British armchair style, except that it's in a Montreal kitchen and over a humble meal where the adult Pi Patel (Irrfan Khan) regales an aspiring author (Rafe Spall) in search of a story with his extraordinary tale. Switching back to these ordinary circumstances helps insure our suspension of disbelief.
Good performances all around, beginning with Ayush Tandon's 11-year-old Pi telling his dad, played by Adil Hussain, that he wishes to be both a Hindu and a Christian, imbue the work with a personalness that facilitates the yarn's touching family angle. But Suraj Sharma as the valiant and likable castaway handles the, er, tiger's share of the acting.
Engaging the muscularly fearsome feline in a war of stamina and wits that intriguingly speculates about the enigmatic relationship between man and beast, Pi brings into high relief both the strength and fragility of our humanity. Chills abound with each of Richard Parker's multi-clawed swipes, making it hard to believe he is but a blue screen apparition.
To his credit, Ang Lee puts us right in that lifeboat with both parties, awash among the universe's dangerous uncertainties and great possibilities. At seat's edge, one second alarmed, the next moment plunged into reflection, round and round you go, just where, it's hard to know, ironically verifying that "Life of Pi" will be met by both friend and foe.
"Life of Pi," rated PG, is a Fox 2000 Pictures release directed by Ang Lee and stars Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan and Ayush Tandon. Running time: 127 minutes

Kingsport Police Are Ultracorrupt
Posted in the Kingsport Forum
#1 Apr 2, 2011
This new story about confiscated beer and others have strongly led me to the conclusion that the KPD needs to clean house. Anyone else agree?
#2 Apr 2, 2011
All cops are like that. They just got caught is all.
#3 Apr 2, 2011
Not always I know a couple of policeman
#4 Apr 2, 2011
Ryne must have some relatives ducking warrants. There is some stupid people in any organization. The departments seems to have jumped on correcting the problem children. Most of these guys are working their butts off with very little thanks.
#5 Apr 2, 2011
My family abides by the law thank you. And yes I realize that there is a lot of good policeman, but most are egotistical and corrupt.
#6 Apr 9, 2011
Alot of kingsport is like that, not just police dept.
#7 Apr 9, 2011
Some of Kingsport supervision are corrupt, have anger problems, and use city time to do second jobs and nothings ever done.Thats just the tip of the iceburg.
#8 Apr 9, 2011
Yes ive seen this myself. The abuse that goes on is terrible and alot of times lower employees take the fall. Some do use their work day to make other income!
#9 Apr 10, 2011
Well, I am a firm believer that the police departments attract three types of people who want to be cops: those who were bullied in high school and wanna take it out on others since they finally have some authority, those who were the bullies who wanna continue to have that power over people, and legitiemate nice guys who wanna do good fo the community and like the excitement the job offers. Kingsportpd has a regular practice of giving paid vacays to cops under investigation, i think they call it suspended with pay, lol.......This Johnson guy, has no business being in a postion of authority with a temper like that. Furthermore, why wasnt he charged with DUI, or was he driven their. At lest p.i. loke anybody else would've been charged with.. officer Brandon Carter was under investigation for a third time which coincidentally included officer Horne being involved in the incident where money was taken from some MExicans. that was the third time he was caught stealing evidence from the evidence room or soemthing related....He was given a slap on the wrist.. I don't know about you guys, but if I got caught stealing from work once, i wouldnt be getting a paid vacay, id be getting a permanant unpaid one.......This is getting rediculous, as in my opinion too many cops let the badge go to their head and feel like they are somehow more important than everyone else....Totally unnacceptable in my opinion.

The problem with KPD is that cops like Tim Horne, Brian Carter, etc. that are the "bad apples" of the group, get this stigma about them for making so many arrests, newspaper headlines, drug busts, etc. that the other cops aspire to be like them, whether they have to do "dirty", immoral, or questionable things to accomplish that or not. If they eliminate the say... 10-15 "bad apples" that are within the force, then the rest of the GOOD cops aka "bad apples" in training, won't have that negative standard to live up to. Allowing activities like these, and hundreds more that I'm sure have been thrown under the rug, continue to go on is making it seem almost acceptable to the newer, fresher, and more impressionable minds on the force.
There are a lot of really good cops in KPD, but the few bad ones are REALLY, VERY BAD. And leave a horrible taste in one's mouth if ever encountered first hand.

A few days ago my engine quit running on J.B. Dennis as if it ran out of gas and I was able to coast over to the shoulder (tank was half full). I've got a disabled tag for reasons but managed to check under the hood for leaks and had my head in the trunk to check the fuel cut-off when I heard a "hello" from behind me and almost jumped through the lid (mostly deaf). An officer and pulled up behind me, got out of his car and walked up behind me and I was totally unaware of him...lol.
I'm middle aged with a beard and very long hair (saving up for a donation to other cancer patients when I have chemo). I was wearing old jeans and a t-shirt at the time.
Despite my appearance he never questioned me in any way or even checked my papers (which would have been fine but only wasted his time). The officer was nothing but polite and helpful. He called a wrecker for me and stayed parked behind me alerting traffic as long as he could till he had to leave on a call.
The point is...I needed help and that's exactly what I got!
So I say thank you to Officer Burnett.
#12 Apr 24, 2011
i didnt get the point about your appearance. why would that have made a difference? youre in Kingsport. Everybody looks and dresses like that.
i hope you were able to go back and get your car and the medical marijuana you had in the trunk. checkn the gas cut off, huh? yeah right.

U dickcheese he said the way he looked because most of the time if u look like that they are going to give u 21 question and run ur ID cause they judge people by the way they are dressed!!! Fuck off your just trying to be a jackass wait no u are a jackass u just trying to make sure everyone knows!
#14 Apr 24, 2011
Did someone forget to take their valium today? Such a master of repartee!
#15 Apr 30, 2011
and everyone in KPT ISNT dressed like he described? i gues it IS a miracle he didnt get his background checked. most of you need to have it checked. gge you seem edgy. and defensive. thats alot of violatility for just one post. maybe you should turn yourself in and face the music instead of living such a stressed life ducking the law. besides with such an anger issue, you should do fine in the joint.

I presume he ran my plates which would have shown a clean record since at least 2003 if they look that far back. With that info, there would not have been any reason to pursue it other than the officers observations or corruption.
I mentioned my appearance because profiling is normal behavior and particularly for police. Since I apparently wasn't intoxicated (and even if I was), I believe what happened next was a matter of attitude. I was polite and respectful and that's what I received in return just as it should be.
However if roles were reversed, I would at least have checked everything legally possible about me. Considering that this thread is about corrupt Kingsport police, opportunity knocked. It only takes an accusation for a legal/illegal search (thought I smelled, saw, etc) but it didn't happen.
Not only was I helped without any hassle, but Officer Burnett provided an excellent example for Kingsport police. Since accusations easy here and prevalent, I originally posted:
1. To thank the officer.
2. Because I thought stating a recent and actual experience might be beneficial.

I am very much not gay but if I were walking around wth my boyfriend and some chick suddenly "squee'd" me, I would
1) consider said chick highly dangerous
2) recall every reason why I stopped dating girls.

I'm sick and tired of subs fans criticizing dubs and dub voice actors. A lot of dubs these days are rather well done, and there are COUNTLESS English voice actors working in the anime industry right now who consistently turn in marvelous performances. I can name many, if you want me to. If you like subs, whatever, it's your choice. I tend to question the number of dubs this kind of person is actually making their judgement on, though.
It's not like I'm saying all dubs are great, obviously, I just find it annoying when people are subbie elitists and/or unwilling to recognize good dub acting.

To the author of the rant;
You do realize that your entire rant is based on your opinion on the quality of dubs, and not on actual facts, don't you? Sorry, but my opinion is the exact opposite.
I do not claim to be an expert, either. I'm just a fan.

I love the FMP banner.
The question about other jobs was nice. I'm surprised someone even asked it.
Wow to think someone esle out there got to learn about gay rights through yaoi is odd. For me yaoi kind of...shed light on something I never paid attention to. it's a long story so i'll cut it short. Your friend is goign to fair. Squeeing at gay guys? I mean sure it can cause a lightheadedness (some friends dragged me to a gay bar once...wow) but you don't attack them on the street. It is a good thing she cares about gay rights but she's being over the top. What to tell her...tell her that if she read manga with boyxgirl relationships...and if she had a boyfriend she wouldn't want someone glomping her if they thought it was cute.
Also tell her that she should just learn to respect strangers and their personal space.
Religion? As in pray: Oh Great Osamu Tezuka you are the center or my being?
Actually it'd be more like...Kouchi Jun'ichi or someone esle. :shurgs:
What kind of puppy is that? I want one!
As for the rant...how much do they pay the audiobook readers? I think your dislike of dubs is getting the way because there are a LOT of good dubs out there. You might be missing them because you watch subs. That's just my opinion. Or you're watching dubs of Initial D or something from the early anime Dub processes.. I also think that'd be odd- Jim Dales as Tuxedo Mask. Or Kenshin.
I'd going to have to pass on that. But you get props for the idea.

If that line had been said several years ago, I would've agreed mostly likely. But not today.
The ranter also seems to place the blame of bad dubs solely on the shoulders of the voice actors. The ranter fails to take into account a few other important factors, like the quality of the scripts, the quality of the voice directors, and even the quality of the show itself. Describe the many voice actors featured in today's dubs as "mediocre-to-cringe-worthy" is, in my opinion, a terrible description. The voice actors I've seen and met enjoy what they do, and while they might not always give their best performances all the time for whatever reason, they do it enough that they deserve respect for their efforts.

Yaoi fans who "GLOMP ^.^ " and "SQUEE" and stalk real gay men make me ashamed to be a fan of the genre. People like that are disgusting.
And I actually agree with the rant. Best one posted in awhile. I definitely prefer subs myself, but I agree that bad dubs aren't bad because they're not the original; they're bad because they're BAD. For every good dub produced, there are dozens of dubs that are like nails against a chalkboard. Good dubs ARE possible, they're just very rare.

I find reading subtitles bothersome, so I almost always watch the dub. I must admit, though, the dub for Hikaru no Go is pretty bad. The Japanese version is much more enjoyable.
Usually, though, I prefer the dub. I have many favorite voice actors, like Vic Mignogna and Luci Christian, Mona Marshall, Eric Vale, John Burgmeier, Justin Cook, Sean Schemmel, Christopher Sabat, Lisa Ortiz, Sandy Lang, Wayne Grayson, Dan Green(watch him in Samurai Deeper Kyo and Knight Hunters Eternity! the outtakes are hilarious!)
My favorite voice actor is Liam O'Brien. His voice is SO SEXY!

Oh and magically every sub is gold right? I love the sub elitists who bash every dub and act like subs are nothing but gold. I guess all Japanese voice actors can take a huge dump and it's the best thing since sliced melon bread right? Anyone whose an extremist on EITHER side,wanna be fair here, is a moron and close minded. Sure there's a fair amount of bad dubs but guess what, plenty of bad subs too. I have NEVER once heard a sub elitist ever mention a bad sub. No it's all "I hate this company" or "This American VA is horrible." Go cry me a river. If they suck so much get off your lazy ass and go become a VA yourself so you can do it right since you obviously are da s%^t. Most of these people work a normal 9-5 job and do this on the side as an extra thing. Give them some credit. They're busting their asses off to help in their way bring you the anime you want to watch. So are the ADR scripters, voice directors, and the other staff. I'm so sorry our American VA's aren't as cool and talented as you Japanese gods are.
disclaimer: Just to make clear this rant, in response to a rant, is not directed at any one person.or solely towards extreme sub lovers. I have equally wonderful views of extreme dub elitists but the rant from the column was against them hence my reply against dub elitists. Does that help?

I guess the ranter hasn't listened to the same crappy audiobooks I have, with readers who sound like the rejects from Saturday morning cartoons. Those in radio theatre might do a good job transitioning to voice acting, but there seem to be very few people who even do that any more. Too bad we can't mix anime dubs and old radio show actors LOL. Wouldn't you die if you heard Jack Benny's voice coming out of Kakashi-sensei's mouth? XD
But really, the old "I hate American VAs" argument is just boring anymore. There are good and bad voice actors on both sides of the Pacific, and the pool of good ones is growing over here. Do we really need to say more than that?
Re the yaoi thing.... When will people understand that yaoi has nothing to do with gay men? If someone thinks she's learning about gays by reading it, she needs to be slapped upside the head with copies of Stonewall and And the Band Played On.
Yaoi men are about are realistic as Doraemon. Everyone needs to just take a deep breath and remember that it's Women's Fantasy and doesn't need to resemble reality anymore than romance novels do, because reality ain't the point.

I think someone should totally make a youtube video about anime as a religion, it would probably be hilarious.
Well, I was going to start by listing several series where I prefer the dub, but then I realised that would take to long. That being said, I could also make quite a list of dubs I didn't like. Whenever I pick up a new series I usually just start watching the dub and if I don't really like how it sounds I switch to the sub. I thought the rant was kinda unfair to voice actors, they're just trying to work with what they've got. I will say, though, in a lot of dubs it really wierds me out when small kids sound 20 years old. I really don't notice that as often on the Japanese tracks.

I greatly prefer subs to dubs in general, but if the Japanese voice acting sucks I won't hesitate to criticize it. Lemon Angel Project had some of the most terrible voice acting I've ever heard from a 21st century cartoon; I couldn't stand to watch past the first episode because I absolutely DETESTED the main character's voice. When I think of what a typical Japanese transvestite hooker's voice sounds like, she's the first person I think of. I don't care much for Venus Versus Virus' Japanese dub either, especially Sumire's irritatingly nasal voice. I seriously went WTF when I looked her character up in the encyclopedia here and saw Minori Chihara did her voice, since I loved her as Yuki in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I was also disappointed with the sub for Descendants of Darkness, although that was probably because I had a lot of fun picturing the show as an alternate-universe Yugioh spinoff since the English dub shared MANY voice actors it. (When Tsuzuki shouts GO SUZAKU!!! it sounds just like Yami Yugi screaming GO EXODIA!!!! It's awesomely unintentionally hilarious.)

Japanese iPhone "hate" disputed by Wired, Tokyo-based source
In an unusual public dispute over the current Japanese popularity of the iPhone 3G, Tokyo-based freelance writer and self-described "most famous advocate of iPhone in Japan" Nobuyuki Hayashi has taken Wired to task for republishing his eight-month old quote on the topic—originally rendered before the launch of the device—as evidence of Japan's supposed "hate" for the iPhone. Hayashi, who has written about Apple products for a number of Japanese and international publications, used the situation as a springboard to disagree with Wired's article, and share a wide variety of interesting observations about the iPhone 3G's successes and problems in Japan, including:
• Initial skepticism from certain newspapers, including the Sankei Shimbun, has evolved into more positive coverage with the growth of the App Store.
• While projected Japanese sales of the iPhone 3G are in the 300,000 - 400,000 range, lower than apparently inaccurate sales targets that were circulated last year, poor overall Japanese cell phone sales in 2008 would place the iPhone's Japanese sales at or above Apple's targeted global 1% level for the year.
• Apple responses to Japanese complaints about the device have been addressed by the company, including the addition of Emoji icons and the sale of a battery-aided TV tuner, with pricing issues addressed this week in a campaign that has seen lines forming to purchase iPhones.
• One remaining issue, the iPhone 3G's inability to serve as a digital credit card for making purchases, has not been addressed by Apple, though some iPhone users have developed workarounds known throughout the Japanese community.
• Softbank, Apple's sole service partner for the iPhone in Japan, has recently won awards for its TV advertisements, but has done comparatively little to promote the iPhone due to Apple approvals required for marketing purposes. Consequently, the majority of Japanese consumers remain unfamiliar with the device, though they warm quickly to it when they're given the opportunity to actually use one.
• Softbank lags modestly behind competitors NTT DoCoMo and KDDI in network coverage and frequency options, and has struggled with domestic media perceptions about its viability, reasons that Apple might need to expand its partnerships in the country.

After losing 8-year old son, family organizes annual baseball tournament in his honor
Six years ago, when Greg and Lanai Wolfe were brainstorming about how to honor the memory of their son Erik, one thing was certain: It had to involve baseball.
Erik was born on July 4, 1999, and diagnosed with a congenital lymphatic system disorder. Though his disease kept him from being able to take the field, baseball was Eriks passion, and some of the Wolfe familys fondest memories are of Erik hanging out at the baseball field while his older brother competed in summer tournaments.
Erik passed away in 2007 at the age of 8, and in the face of their personal tragedy, the Wolfe family nonetheless strove to find a way to memorialize their son while also helping other families who faced similar health crises.
Thus, with the help of fellow West Linn residents Mike and Jodi Hughes, as well as their sons Kyle and Ryan Hughes, Greg and Lanai Wolfe founded the Erik Wolfe Memorial Baseball Tournament in 2009. The tournament, which was held at Fields Bridge Park this past summer in June, attracts as many as 30 teams from all around the Northwest and has raised more than $44,500 for Randall Childrens Hospital at Legacy Emanuel.
The money goes to families who dont really have a support system around them, Greg Wolfe said. Its a great community effort to help people in those situations. We have a lot of great memories of Erik on the baseball field.
Its just a beautiful way to celebrate life and remember Erik, Lanai Wolfe added. It brings a lot of people together.
The Wolfe family credits Mike Hughes a baseball coach with longstanding ties to the West Linn Baseball Association with the idea of starting the tournament.
We wanted to do something for Erik, Hughes said. He never played, but he was always watching his brother at the ballpark. ... (The tournament) was a way to honor him and at the same time raise money in his memory.
Hughes said the event has become our biggest tournament over the years, and attracts teams not only from Oregon and Washington but also as far as Idaho and Montana. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of four games, and Hughes said the focus is on sportsmanship and community building as opposed to intense competition.
And the community response has been overwhelming.
People have just walked up who have nothing to do with baseball and handed a check to me, Hughes said. Its a great cause.
The Hughes family also donated a flagpole and plaque in Eriks honor, which can be found adjacent to the ball fields at Fields Bridge Park.
This flag and all that it stands for is dedicated to our entire Community in loving memory of Erik Wolfe, the plaque reads. He inspired all of us with his vibrant soul, fighting spirit and infectious smile. Although he never played the game he always felt like he was part of the team!
At the very top of the plaque is a simple direction:

Police said a Cleveland, Tn., man admitted burning an Apison residence after a fight with his girlfriend.
Richard Lee Dillon, 55, is charged with aggravated arson, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and interference with emergency personnel.
In the incident Friday, deputies were summoned to 5104 Wesleyan Road, where a residence had burned and a man was seen walking around with a gas can.
A neighbor said she saw Dillon pouring gasoline on the front of the house.
The girlfriend, Edna Wells, said earlier in the evening they were in an argument that turned physical. She said Dillon was heavily intoxicated and that he grabbed her by both arms and held her down.
She said he told her he would either slash her throat or slash his and have her watch him bleeding. She said he pulled out his knife and stabbed it in the kitchen table.
Ms. Wells said she was finally able to run out the back door.
Dillon threw her cellphone into the fireplace, it was stated.
Authorities said Dillon admitted pouring oil and gasoline throughout the residence and an outbuilding in an attempt to burn it all down.
Damage to the residence was put at $100,000.

I'm sure they are two different actors, as they appear in the official Spanish voice actor database (ElDoblaje) separately (their roles would be in the same profile if they were the same person). Also, they don't sound alike at all:
