Summer Snow
In this Hong Kong comedy drama a father's illness brings him closer to his daughter-in-law. May is married with a teenage son. She works as an executive in a trading company. After her mother-in-law drops dead from a stroke, she and her husband, Sun Bing, reluctantly take in Old Sun, a former air force lieutenant (none of his other children will take him). The family is immediately thrown into turmoil as they try to deal with Sun's strange behavior. He frequently wanders away, acts strangely, and suffers from rapid personality changes alternating between a child-like and extremely irritable state. They finally get medical help after they catch him eating a soap sandwich. The old man is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. May must now balance her career, her family and Sun's needs. She tries hard, but eventually the strain is too much for her. They must place Old Sun in a nursing home. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

While she is best known for such American features as China O'Brien, martial-arts expert Cynthia Rothrock also made a number of action films in Hong Kong, such as this Golden Harvest production directed and choreographed by veteran actor Mang Hoi. Rothrock stars as Cindy, an American FBI agent who travels to Hong Kong to arrest a criminal newspaper editor, Ronny Dak (filmmaker Ronny Yu) who prints counterfeit money using the newspaper's presses (a dubious notion, but storyline is not the film's strong point). While investigating Dak's crimes, Cindy hooks up with her old friend Judy Yu (Elizabeth Lee), an undercover cop (Chin Siu-ho), and an intrepid journalist (director Mang Hoi) to battle his kung-fu henchmen. The fight scenes -- many occurring high in the air -- are quite impressive, although a long break in the production schedule resulted in a number of continuity errors. Roy Chiao co-stars with Keith Kwan, Wu Ma, and Billy Chow. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Mad Mission, Part 4: You Never Die Twice
Popular Hong Kong action filmmaker Ringo Lam (City on Fire and Replicant) reputedly directed this third of four official sequels to 1982's Aces Go Places only as a favor to star Karl Maka, and it shows. King Kong (Sam Hui) once again joins bald detective Albert Au (Maka) and his son Baldy Jr. as they fly to New Zealand to save Albert's wife (Sylvia Chang) from a gang of crooks who have kidnapped her. The crooks, led by Ronald Lacey in a send-up of his role in Raiders of the Lost Ark, are trying to get control of an experimental prism which they need for a machine which turns men into indestructible super-beings. The film is dark, violent, and not quite as funny as previous installments, and the goofy subtitles call Sylvia Chang's character "Sylvia" instead of "Nancy." Still, there is a good supporting cast of genre veterans like Sally Yeh, Kwan Tak-hing, and Cho Tat-wah to please Asian film buffs and Lam keeps the film moving at a speedy clip. The official series ended with the next installment, 1989's Aces Go Places V: The Terracotta Hit, but was revived eight years later with a new cast in the subpar 97 Aces Go Places. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Once Upon a Mirage
Two young children leave mainland China with their father, illegally hitching a train ride into the city where on departure, they are spotted by the police and the unfortunate father is slapped in jail. Meanwhile, the two enterprising youngsters escape and have to make it on their own somehow, while searching for their Aunt Tina in the big city. Little do they know that Aunt Tina is a friend of the policeman who nabbed their father, providing one more avenue for ultimately finding the children. The little brother and sister end up meeting several other youngsters, some of whom are survivors with a good knowledge of the streets, while another is a wealthy boy simply curious about street life. The grit and optimism of the children, their nerve and their sense of right and wrong, steer them through the worst parts of this urban world of poor shanties, colorful markets, fortune tellers, and millions and millions of pedestrians. Bolstered by their attitude, it is not difficult to imagine that at least a few of their fondest wishes (the "mirages" or dreams they want to see materialize) might just come true. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Inspired by a true story, this action-adventure thriller concerns the race to obtain the blueprints of a MIG-25 "Foxbat" Soviet fighter plane which has landed in Japan, complete with a pilot who is asking for asylum. Undercover U.S. spy Michael Saxon (Henry Silva) is trying to get the microfilms for the state-of-the art film back to his country, but he is competing against agents and representatives from many countries for the privilege: at one point there is a super-secret auction of the plans. Naturally, the KGB is not taking this situation sitting down, and agents are dispatched to destroy the plans and anyone who has them. The action moves from Tokyo to Hong Kong, as Saxon attempts to contact a man who can arrange for the proper delivery of the plans. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

A Touch of Zen

Add A Touch of Zen to top of Queue
An influential martial arts film and an acknowledged influence on Ang Lee's amazing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, King Hu's A Touch of Zen opens with young scholar Ku Shen-chai working at his portraiture stand in a small frontier town. He lives with his nagging mother in a supposedly haunted, rundown house at the edge of the abandoned Ching Liu estate. One day, a stranger named Ou-Yang Yin asks for his picture to be painted, and then suddenly leaves. Soon, another stranger -- this time a beautiful woman named Yang Hui-Ching -- suddenly moves into the complex next door. The presence of these strangers has an increasingly unnerving effect on Ku, and he rightfully comes to believe that the entire town is involved in some bizarre political intrigue. After a night of passion between Ku and Yang, Ou-Yang Yin stages a surprise attack on the compound, which Yang surprisingly thwarts with dazzling aplomb. Yang reveals to him that her father was an honorable general executed due to the nefarious doings of the powerful Eunuch Wei. With the aid of General Shih and Lu (who pose as the town's blind beggar and herb vendor respectively), Yang was spirited away first to a monastery where she learned martial arts and then to Ku's remote corner of China. Ou-Yang Yin, Eunuch Wei's henchman, has in turn vowed to pursue her to the ends of the earth. As Ou-Yang Yin rallies Wei's army to the walled estate, Ku -- having spent a lifetime researching military history -- devises a brilliant strategy to crush the siege and win the heart of this most unusual woman. Though his plan works, he fails to win the loyalty of Yang; she flees into the night as Ku slept. After searching desperately, Ku finds her in the same monastery where she learned kung-fu. Now a Buddhist nun, she hands over their child to him and sends him packing. Realizing that Ku is in danger, Yang and her mentor -- a saintly abbot -- then set out to protect him. Suddenly out of nowhere, Hsu Hsien-Chen -- the profoundly evil army commander of Eunuch Wei -- confronts the abbot and an all-out battle between good and evil ensues. Screened at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival and winning a technical prize, this was the first Chinese language film ever to win a major western film festival award. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Ferry to Hong Kong
This curious African Queen derivation stars Curt Jurgens as Mark Conrad, an Austrian exile and Orson Welles as blustery ferry-boat captain Cecil Hart. Banned from both Hong Kong and Macao, Conrad is forced to spend his life on Hart's ferry, shuttling endlessly between the two countries and irritating everyone with whom he comes in contact. Conrad redeems himself when he rescues Hart and the passengers during a raging storm. Poor Welles is reduced to Gale Gordon-like bombast throughout the proceedings, while leading lady Sylvia Sims has practically no purpose in the film whatsoever. Ferry to Hong Kong was released in America through 20th Century-Fox along with several other like-vintage Rank Organisation films. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the aptly titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite (also spelled Kumatai), a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world-a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death (or near-death) between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux (who serves as the film's fight coordinator). Denied such niceties as production values, Bloodsport scores big-time in the violent action department. A sequel followed in 1995, inventively titled Bloodsport 2. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Although this American action film, which has little of Jackie Chan's comedic martial arts, was less successful in the U.S. than hoped, it is still a worthy effort. Chan plays Billy Wong, a New York cop whose partner is murdered by Hong Kong gangsters. His new partner is Danny Gorani (Danny Aiello). They are sent to rescue an American woman who was kidnapped and taken to Hong Kong. There, they must also stop a shipment of narcotics before it reaches the U.S. The mismatching of Chan and Aiello is reminiscent of the chemistry between Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in the original buddy-cop film, 48 HRS. The lack of success of this enjoyable thriller was unfortunate; Chan would not make another attempt to break into the American market until 1996 with the hit Rumble in the Bronx. ~ Jonathan E.

The Shadow of China
John Lone, the star of the Oscar-winning The Last Emperor (89), portrays a Chinese revolutionary in Shadow of China. Pursued by the Communists, Lone escapes to Hong Kong, where he builds up a multimillion dollar business enterprise. He hopes to use his international clout to effect changes in Mainland China, but he is defeated by revelations of his earlier underhanded business practices, and by the "dangerous" aspects of his previous political activities. Filmed on location, Shadow of China has its moments of violence, but none so extreme as to detract from the storyline. Also, John Lone proves again how his talents have often been wasted in less ambitious projects. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones epics is set a year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy (Harrison Ford) gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His companions this time around include a dimbulbed, easily frightened nightclub chanteuse (Kate Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan Ke Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the Sherpa warrior. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Golden Needles
This martial arts film has an interesting twist. The conflict is over a mythical 30-inch-tall statue with very special properties. Protruding from the sculpture are seven golden needles. If the needles are inserted into a man's body in the precisely right positions, he will become a sexual superman. If the position is incorrect, the man will instantly die. Despite the risks, several men begin fighting over the precious object. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A Camrose city worker helped save a teenage boy who became pinned beneath a car Thursday morning after the boy was struck by a driver who didn't realize he'd hit someone.
The 14-year-old boy was riding his bike to school with a friend around 8:45 a.m. and was crossing 49th Street when he was struck, Camrose police Staff Sgt. Rick Marcinowski said.
The 81-year-old man driving the car didn't see either the boy or his friend when he turned right from 49th Street onto 48th Avenue, Marcinkowski said. The collision knocked the boy and his bike over and the teen became pinned under the back of the car, but the driver, not realizing he'd hit anyone, continued on.
"It ended up moving ahead slightly. It didn't go a great distance," said Marcinkowski. "It travelled a few feet."
Witnesses flagged down the driver and a city employee who happened to be in the area quickly grabbed a large hydraulic jack from his truck and lifted the car to relieve the pressure on the boy, Marcinkowski said.
The boy was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Camrose with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police are still gathering witness statements and the investigation is ongoing.
Marcinkowski said it was too early to say whether charges may be pending against the car's driver.
The city worker wants to remain anonymous, he added.

Comedic geniuses Tina Fey (30 Rock, Saturday Night Live) and Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live) team up to celebrate a modern twist on motherhood! Kate (Fey) is a single, successful career woman who wants something more: a baby. But she gets more than she bargained for when she hires Angie (Poehler), a free spirit from South Philly, to be her surrogate in a hysterical mama match-up. From birth class to baby-proofing, they're the ultimate odd couple that critics are calling "the best female comedy duo since Lucy and Ethel" (Claudia Puig, USA Today). With hilarious performances from an all-star cast featuring Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver, Baby Mama is as full of laughs as it is heart!
Jack Black and Mos Def star in Be Kind Rewind, a unique comedy from Academy Award-winning writer/director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Black stars as a lovable loser stuck in a life that's too small for his big dreams. But when he unintentionally erases all the tapes in a video store where his best friend works, he devises a plan to satisfy the store's few loyal customers by re-creating and re-filming every movie they decide to rent.

In the spring of 2009, a new kind of romance was born on NBC when overeager bureaucrat Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) met sweet nurse Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) on the Parks and Recreation series premiere. Over the last six seasons, their journey has spawned catchphrases, beautiful compliments and a new faith in female friendships on television. However, that will all soon come to an end when Jones and co-star Rob Lowe leave the comedy early next year.
"Amy and Rashida, like Leslie and Ann, are dealing with it in real time," Jones tells TVGuide.com. "Amy has been saying to people, 'She thinks she's leaving, but I'm going to lock her in my trailer.' I'm a little bit in denial about it, too."

Just installed SAMBA on my 2 of my 3 Linux boxes so that I could SetiSpy them. Too late to do the third one.
When I looked at the statistic pages it appeared that Abit BE6-II motherboards insanely overclocked to 150 MHz FSBs where winning the war. These seemed to have PIII-500s or PIII-550es installed. Wonder how successful that is? For my CPU farm box, all it would have is a 3C905 and a cheap PCI video card - no disk. A replacement game machine would be a lot uglier, with AGP video, sound, CDROMs, disk, and other wierd PCI devices. Can't see that surviving anything beyond 133 FSB - which alone is still a problem (I820 means, for all intents, RDRAM - can't afford that; BX is questionable, VIA 133 has been reported to have memory throughput problems - not good for SETI).
Oh well, I'm not in a mad rush to buy. Hopefully something will become the clear winner in the next few months.
Oh - I'm still searching for stability on my BP6 Dual Celeron system. Its been having random hangs in the 2-40 day range. Trying the QQ Beta BIOS know hopeing that will help. Once I make it 45 days, I'll start bumping the FSB back up. Had it to 108 for awhile. Curiously enough, voltage beyond 2.0 didn't seem to buy me much, but that might have been masked by what I hope was a BIOS issue.

The A-2 Flight Jacket was made famous by U.S. Army airmen who wore them as a testament to their bravery, independence and skill. Service tested in 1930, the A-2 was adopted as the regulation Army Air Corps flying jacket on May 9, 1931. Its style continues to be a perfect example of form following function.
The A-2 jacket is available and true to the original design in russet or seal brown horsehide or medium brown goatskin.
True to the original Air Corp Spec:
One piece back, 2 piece sleeves. Talon nickel finish zipper with leather puller tabs, single entry pocket with luxurious curved shape flaps. Epaulets boxed stitched, 1 3/4" tapering down to 1 1/2". Hanger loop boxed stitch through and through. Stand up collar, snapped down collar tips. 8-10 stitches per inch, reinforced pockets corners and wind flap, provide solid construction that backed by life time warrantee.
Its lining of 100% cotton and 100% wool knit cuffs & waistband is also true to the original. Finish touch of A/N inspection stamp and Air Corp stamp on the lining.
If you like to create your personal specifications or modified colors, shape or components please visit the A-2 custom made jacket page.

One of a kind Review by Brett Carter (August 2007)

A2 jackets are not cheap but at the end of the day your getting a much stronger jacket then one from a fashion house and I think they look better as well and their a piece of history that has never gone out of fashion thanks again for a great job

Amazing quality!!!! Review by Barry Franklin (April 2007)
Just a note to let you know my custom A2 arrived safe and sound. Amazing quality!!!!!
The custom pockets are really well designed! I suppose that the "purists" would not be too thrilled about modifying the venerable A2, but
it is the definitive flight jacket and ex Canadian Air Force officers like mefor some reason always want a sleeve pocket. The inner pocket is great too, accomodating cell phone, wallet or even sun glasses.
Thanks again! And here are a couple of photos of me with my A2 after I took it for its first plane ride.
Cheers! And thanks again,

Very authentic jacket Review by Jonathan Vigier (December 2006)
I purchased an A2 horsehide seal brown jacket from you a few months ago. I have only recently had time to compare its details to those of the originals from the '40s : it comes out pretty well!
What with the quality of the product and the excelent service provided by US Authentic I believe the jacket to be very good value for money.

Wonderful jacket Review by Calvin Chue (February 2006)

Thanks for an outstanding jacket Review by James R. Dole (February 2007)
I recently purchased and received my Russet Horsehide A2 jacket. I am very pleased with the quality to price ratio.
I gave the salesman/owner my height and weight and the suggested size was perfect. It is a bit stiff (a good thing) and I am told that with increased wearing of the jacket the fit/feel will only get better. Thanks again for an outstanding jacket. I look forward to purchasing the Medium Brown Goatskin A2 next. (Posted on 7/23/10) -
As authentic as it can be Review by Dave Pitt (February 2007)
I want to take a minute and "Thank You" for the excellent service I received from when I ordered my A-2 Jacket.
I have had several A-2 jackets in the past. The last one was a Cooper, which I wore till the cuffs frayed out. I gave it to Goodwill.
This jacket is well made and as authentic as I care to be. Eplets, patch pockets, etc. are first class. I ordered it on last week [Wednesday] and it was here this Monday. Wow, now that is fast. I highly recomend you.
Thank you again, I am VERY PLEASED !!!!!

My favorite piece of clothing!! Review by Rob Bailey (February 2007)
Dear Sirs-
About 8 years ago I was searching for an authentic A-2 flight jacket. I found your site, and loved all the information on it. I kept watching for months, waiting on an A-2 in my size to show up in the bargain bin. Sure enough, one day a "mis-stiched" A-2 became available and I jumped right on it.
When it arrived I could not believe the quality. I had only seen cheap replicas in the past. To this day it is my favorite piece of clothing I've ever owned.
Whatever mperfection is there is not even noticable.
I wanted to let you know that you have another thrilled customer. I re-ordered another catalogue because they are a fantastic resource.
I hope your company is doing well. I have recommended friends to you. Thank you for doing excellent work!
It's greatly appreciated. (Posted on 7/23/10) -
Rich, glorious leather. 100% satisfied! Review by Doug Rennie (January 2007)
Well, my A-2 goatskin arrived today (Jan 9); not sure why it took almost 2 weeks to get here, but now that it has at last arrived, it's well worth the wait. Just a superb jacket! A near-perfect fit (your 38R recommendation was right on; I'm usually between a 36R and 38R, but the US authentic jacket is a trim fit, which I much prefer over the baggy "relaxed" fit of almost all the others. The fit on me is snug without being tight, as I said close-to-perfect), and the quality of the leather, stitching, and general attention to detail is first-rate.
VASTLY superior in every respect to the Cooper A-2 I once had. The leather is smooth, soft and supple, and the jacket smells like the interior of a BMW. That is, that rich, glorious leather smell.
Everything about the jacket says quality and authenticity, including the "Army Air Forces" stamp on the lining which gives the whole package a strong WW II feel.
The long wait was a little frustrating, but I am 100% satisfied with the jacket.

Awesome product Review by Sean Downs (November 2006)
I bought a A-2 horsehide on 10/31/06 for my dad and he loves it , you sell an awesome product. I bought an A-2 from another company in the spring and the quality my jacket next to yours is night and day your jacket is a homerun and mine is let's just say I'm kicking myself now for not researching more.Hopefully in the future I'll save up enough to buy one of your fine jackets, until such time take care.
A satisfied customer ,

- Fantastic Goatskin A2 Review by David
- I wish to thank you for the fantastic Goatskin A2 jacket you made for me. This jacket is by far the nicest I own. The details are precise, and the fit is just fantastic. This jacket is very comfortable, and has an athletic fit which is just what I was expecting. Many people on various flight jacket forums such as The Fedora Lounge has given glowing testimonies about the great product you make. They were right on the money. Again, thank you very much for producing a 1st rate A2 jacket that the average person can afford right here in the good old U.S.A. I can not imagine any way to improve your product. It is just perfect. In closing I would like to say once again, Thank You. (Posted on 11/11/13)
- Magnificent Historical Likeness Review by Bill P
- What can I say? A high end true to history perfectly sized work of art. I finalized my order on Monday and received my custom jacket seven (7) days later. My A-2 is replete with sewn on leather squadron and 8th Air Force patches, and name tag. Nickel finish Talon zipper and thick horsehide. Good old Shauli has rally worked hard to create a first class operation with one stop shopping for all your needs and to meet every budget. (Posted on 11/5/13)
- Perfect Custom A-2 Review by Bill
- I've been looking for an A-2 for a while and researching it meticulously. I was originally looking at Gibson and Barnes, however their website had "issues" and they were none too helpful on the phone. At 5'4" and 170 lbs I have a hard to fit build and I am very picky. Shaul was patient with my many questions re: fit, leather, lining etc. I ordered the A-2 in horsehide with a number of custom options. It arrived only days after I placed the order. It fits perfect, is of the best quality and is more than I expected. I highly recommend US Authentics. (Posted on 10/7/13)

Lupin III Blu-rays looking for teams
This is for no particular group:
I have Blu-ray raws for a LOT of unlicensed Lupin III material. They've all either been purchased by myself or people I'm directly in contact with, and as of now I'm not aware of anyone else who has them. Since they're so rare, I'd absolutely love to find a home for a lot of these projects. Send me a PM here or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Please include some information in your inquiry, such as the name of the group and what you'd be interested in working on. Every single anime in the Lupin III franchise has some form of English translation already, but most of it could definitely use some TLC. That's something to keep in mind~ My own involvement in any project other than raw provision will depend on individual group needs. I'm an experienced editor/QC, and I can be as close to or distanced from the actual subbing process as someone may think is best. My main goal is to finally get all of these HD transfers subbed before all else, so I'm open to working with anyone who has a passion for Lupin. Thanks for reading!

We expect you to drop by our IRC staff room and talk. It doesn't have to be every waking hour of the day, of course, but if you're a pleasure to talk to, you must be a pleasure to work with too. ...RIGHT? About the translator test Our translator test has changed a billion times. The newest and latest version is that you will have 70 minutes to translate as much of an episode of anime as possible and to the best of your ability and blakbunnie will grade you based on that. (See full criteria.) Taking the translator test Due to it being timed, you will need to schedule a time to meet with a staff member over some kind of messenger program. You can leave your real e-mail in the e-mail field as a reply to this post, or you can pm me on irc.rizon.net - my username is morningrescue.

Our primary TL has real life complications and will be gone by the end of the month! You must be fluent in Japanese and English. Experience is preferred and you MAY be tested. Typesetters/KFXers - You must be creative and have experience with Aegisub's basic styling and typesetting features(For KFX, you should be knowledgable about Automation3 and LUA). This includes subtitle styling and most of the Override Tags. Experience needed (or send me your best typesetted project) because we don't have any typesetters to test you ^^;; Quality Checker - Experience needed. You will be tested. Capper - A capper would definitely be useful for speedsub projects. Capper must have a decent internet connection, capping hardware, live in Japan(obviously), and the ability to schedule when to cap whatever show. Why do we need cappers? Capper = 1hr after airing time Share = 24hr after airing time. ...You get the idea. Thanks. ~fgghjjkll Last edited by fgghjjkll; 2011-06-12 at 00:17. |

Group: Dual-Duality
Positions open: Translators QCers we are also willing to take Encoders (you will be tested atleast verbally) Typesets (you will be tested) Timers (you might be tested) Projects: View here. More TBA. IRC Channel: #email@example.com IRC Contacts: TheProfileth or Sashamaru I want to start off by saying my group is not a standard fansub or ripping group. The emphasis is on quality and dedication, those who are not willing to be pushed need not apply. Regarding dedication I don't mean you have to show up every day or for that matter even once a week, just when you do show up I expect you to make the most of your time with me or atleast be fun to talk to. With a myriad of projects underway and several completed shows, as Head Encoder, founder and leader of Dual-Duality I have made this group relatively successful with only limited help from others. I am a self taught encoder, typesetter, editor and dub enthusiast, while I don't expect everyone/anyone to be as quick to learn as I am, I do expect that you will hopefully be able to keep pace. I am in need of a Japanese -> English translator, as there are a few shows I want to do that I want to do an editing job for. We also could use some QCers to help make sure I don't screw up as often. I am willing to train people in what I do however, if you're interested in doing timing, karaoke, or translating, then you must have experience and know what you are doing. Other positions can be arranged if you have some special talent you think qualifies to be useful. I focus mainly on doing older shows because I both like them better than new ones and they tend to not have the licensing issues of newer ones as well. If you want to encode for me, you better be good or willing to learn a lot because I don't expect anyone really to pass several of my encoding tests (I have several all based on different difficulty levels, you will get to choose which level you want to take). You can apply by either leaving a message on our group's forum, or by stopping by our IRC channel to speak with us directly. Read more about our group.

Licca Fansubs Founder
AnimeSuki Site Staff
Join Date: Aug 2010
Licca Fansubs is looking for Japanese -> English translators and timers.
We are a fairly new subbing group that has been in operation for approximately 10 months now. We have established a reputation for being a group capable of finishing relatively long series in a reasonably efficient manner. You all may have seen our relatively aggressive release schedule in action. However, we would like to potentially expand the number of series that we can do, and that will require additional translators and timers. Our specialty is in older mahou shoujo and older World Masterpiece Theater series. If you would like to join us as a Japanese -> English translator, we have a relatively decent list of series you'll have the opportunity to work on. If you would like to join us as a timer, you will need to be able to keep up with our aggressive release schedule. We are mostly looking for timers that can time our World Masterpiece Series projects. You will be tested to determine your competency level. You will not be asked to work on Happy Kappi; that is being worked on by our core staff. The best way to contact me is via IRC, as I tend to forget to read e-mails, and I don't use this forum except for announcing releases. I'm usually in Licca Fansubs' IRC channel from 6pm-12am, GMT -6. Information Position(s): Translators (Japanese to English), Timers Group: Licca Fansubs Project(s): (to be determined) IRC Channel: #email@example.com (NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT ON RIZON!)

Pete Hanson's Daily Blog: The Blame Game
From all accounts, Heisman Trophy winning Texas Longhorn, New Orleans Saint, on again, off again Miami Dolphin running back Ricky Williams had a tough childhood. There have been allegations of abuse among other things. His tough childhood has transformed into an unpredictable adulthood. As I was watching his bio last night on ESPN, I was really inspired by something he said.
"You can't blame your life on your parents, your upbringing or anything that happened in the past. Because when you do, you take away your own power to do anything about it."
Wow. I have never actually looked at blame that way before, but it makes sense to me. If I blame you for something, then I am saying that what happened is because of what you did, and when I remove my own responsibility from the explanation by blaming you, then I am also taking away my power to affect the outcome that rides tandem with that responsibility.
I think I'll take the blame today, and happily accept the responsibility that goes along with it.
Hey, it was Ricky's idea, don't blame me!
