Okay.... what exactly was wrong with Carl's reviews????
Seriously, ANN. I'm beginning to think that you guys are just bored! It's starting to get ridiculous! |

Aside from the fact that you're being obnoxious about this stuff, I'll clarify. Everyone just finished up a nearly month-long preview guide during a time when new product was also not really flooding in. There's always a dearth of full-length reviews around preview time - everyone's working on that, for weeks at a time, and then they usually take a short break to decompress. Things are picking up now, we'll be back to normal capacity shortly. Also, we like having second opinions on things. It rarely happens because we don't usually get multiple copies of something, but it's nice when it happens. I'm fine publishing multiple opinions of the same title. Notably you didn't rush into the forums to complain when we had multiple reviews of both Evangelion movies. |

Notably? Uh, that's because it's been nearly a year and a half since Justin's review, and who wouldn't want to hear news of a dub that shoulders such a monument? Bad comparison. Now I'm all for 2nd opinions, but usually they don't happen in a 2-3 month period of time. And then... let's consider the title; does anyone want to learn further information that Carl's reviews didn't cover already(personally I found it puzzling that he appreciated V. Knight at all, considering he loves NANA)? All in all, I get letting off steam from the previews, but don't you think a worthy re-release would've been FLCL? I mean it's 6 episodes? Still, I'll apologize for my hastiness. |

Aren't you guys required to review stuff if a company sends it, regardless if it's a rerelease or not? | ||||||

Thank you, Theron. That was a very good review. You're right about the dub not being the greatest. Zero sounds a bit too much like Ed from Fullmetal , but I'm glad VK got a dub so I won't complain too much. | ||||||

Which is why I don't complain about any dubs no matter wether it's good or medicore. Also in my view the dub is preety solid. And those same people complaining about the miscasting here also said the same thing with ouran host high school and with the main cast in the beginning eps for Eureka 7. But I would agree that the main voice for Kaname was definitely miscasted big time at the beginning,but grew when Guilty came around. So , this as well will grow on people too when guilty gets reviewed, so I'm not gonna spoil it for fellow dubbers like myself. |

I, too, thought the dub was serviceable. I must be one of the few people who thinks Ethan Murray had a fitting voice. His monotonous voice of omnipotence fit well with how ambiguous he was during the series.
If there was one part of Carl's reviews that I thought was off, it was how he didn't give the dub much credit. Good job giving Mela Lee some deserving kudos because Yui Horie is just sounding too redundant now; sounds too much like Orange-y from Kampfer, and comes close to mimicking that GR-----RATING happy-go-lucky pitch from Toradora. If dubs do one thing for me, is that they can ground the characters a bit into more realistic than not. |

Hmmm, is this one of those moments Viz didn't give Bang Zoom! enough time and money to really polish this up above mediocrity? | ||||||
Back to top | ||||||
Zac ANN Executive Editor Posts: 7160 Location: Snake Mountain Cocktail Lounge |
Nope. That would be a little unfair to a publication in a country with a free press, wouldn't it? "I sent you a copy of my product unsolicited, you are now required to cover it on your site!" Theron obviously felt he had something to say about this particular release (Viz sent it directly to him rather than through me). |

Laura Bailey and Wendee Lee credited on the same VA list???
This is a first for me. I never thought I'd hear the two together, given Wendee usually works through Bang Zoom! and Laura through FUNi. This is... a bonus. I had seen this title pop up a few times, and I'll most likely buy it around the $20-$25 mark now that Key says it's okay. It's so nice to have a personal reviewer on hand. |

I had bought this series with a sub. Shortly thereafter, the dubbed version came out. This will be a reason to double dip. Thanks for the info. @Key: how is that a spoiler? |

Ah, okay. A little confused as to how the whole "who reviews what" works for you guys. |

jr0904 Posts: 2313 Location: New York City,New York,USA |
There's also Code Geass ( Lee as C.C's nun friend on Season 2 & Bailey as Kallen's stepmom and Kizuna of the four Holy swords) as well if you watched the Adult Swim broadcasts. Maybe it's a union or non unrion thing i guess . I don't understand the VA labor laws for the anime industry , and to be frank , rather not. It's far too damn confusing especially when it comes to some of them using aliases,especially when it comes to series that have excessive fanservice or very questionable content like in Tengo Tenge ( which was also casted by Bang Zoom! VA ) and especially Queens Blade. However as I posted on the review on Vol 3 , I did liked Lee's take as Shizuka Hio. DEFINITELY the main stand out performance for that Volume for sure. was kinda dissapointed Hio was killed off too quickly though.
SERIOUSLY???! How's that even possible? Cause I watched all the epsiodes of Vampire Knight as well and Guilty and did not hear anything different at all. Then again I have absolutely no talent as a VA whatsoever , so i could not tell if I did, which is the main reason I'll never bad talk any english dubs whatsoever no matter how medicore their are unlike those anti dub haters that are all over the net,even here. ( except for those that are from 4kids & from Nelvana ) Last edited by jr0904 on Thu May 05, 2011 2:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Has anybody come across a good Weihenstephaner Vitus clone? I would love to have a batch of this great beer, especially during the summer. Looking for an extract recipe specifically. Cheers,
Still working in this one, but here's a thread about it:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/weih...oughts-327589/
Thanks a lot slarkin712. Went through the thread. Very informative. I now need to figure out how to do cold fermentation in the most economical way. Any recommendations? I've read up on some techniques such as "swamp cooling" but that seems to be more of a hassle than anything.
Swamp cooler is about as simple as it gets. Although you could do the wet t-shirt/towel on the fermentor with a fan blowing on it. Search for that here on the forums. If you want precise temp control without using a fridge look into building the "son of a fermentation" chamber. I've got one that I do ales in and it works great. Added a STC-1000 temp control to it, which allows very precise temp control.
Thanks slarkin712! All good info. I actually ended up buying a kegerator that fits two 5 gallon corny kegs. Great deal on amazon over the Christmas break. My thought is to use one corny keg as a secondary while the other has a Pliny the Elder clone on tap.

Differentiating optical-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer
Applied Optics, Vol. 34, Issue 13, pp. 2350-2353 (1995)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (92 KB)
We introduce a new type of optical-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer whose output depends on phase differentials or the time rate of change of the unknown phase-modulating signal. Whereas the actual phase excursion introduced by the signal could cause interference over several fringes in a conventional Mach–Zehnder interferometer, the differential phase shifts may be restricted to the linear range of the phase detector. Being of simple construction, the interferometer can be operated without active biasing, additional phase modulation, or complex signal-processing techniques. We analyze a prototype architecture to explain the principle of operation of the system and to derive design formulas. This is followed by experimental evaluation of a more practical configuration.

Back in the 1970s, when Corvette replacement parts were sometimes hard to come by, Wayne Walker decided to take matters into his own hands and made a gas line for his 1961 Corvette.
From that humble beginning, when he soon began selling his products at swap meets around the country, Walker has built a global Corvette parts business called Zip Products Inc – also known as Zip Corvette – that he turned over to his son, David, when he retired in 1994.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention.
Corvette Central founder and CEO Jerry Kohn would probably agree with that.
Back in the 1970s, Kohn was a tool & die specialist and a Corvette enthusiast from Michigan who was looking for much-needed parts for a 1958 Corvette. It didn't take long for him to discover that the parts he needed were either not available, poorly made, or overpriced.
Having been a dad for a little over a decade, I've come to the conclusion that when it comes picking Father's Day gifts, dads do really know what's best.

They've made it easy for dad to get exactly what his Corvette needs this weekend with a special Free Shipping offer.

Do You Have Magnificent Managers?
Many managers in CPA firms have the "manager" title just because it is a title that an experienced, long-time employee receives in a CPA firm. In relation to the work of the firm, they take care of clients and they take care of partners. As managers, they are often STILL the workhorses.
My mind is filled with questions about CPA firm managers and what you are doing to help them help your firm:
· Why aren't they more skilled at taking care of the people they supervise?
· Have you (Mr./Ms. Partner serving as their Boss), invested (yes, spent lots of money) on the development of their emotional intelligence and their understanding of how nurturing relationships with people build a solid foundation for an organization's success?
· Have your managers studied and been trained on the power of generational differences?
· Do they understand and enthusiastically reach-out to the youngest CPAs and play a key role in keeping them in the CPA profession?
· Are your managers, "people" people?
· Are your managers able to bring in business?
Here are some more important questions:
· Do you, CPA firm owner, study what behaviors make a front-line manager in your firm successful and makes them "the" manager everyone wants to work for?
· Do you spend a huge amount of time selecting your managers?
· Do you have the best training program possible for your managers, not to teach technical accounting skills, to teach people skills?
· Do you formally, rigorously and enthusiastically mentor your managers?
· Are you willing to leave a manager slot open until you can fill it with someone who is awesome?
· Do you consider promotion decisions for managers as thoroughly as you do for partners?

Former Warner Music Interns Allowed to Put Out Class Action Notice
Meanwhile, an internship lawsuit against a modeling agency settles for $450,000 and an important appellate battle heats up.
The ex-interns suing Warner Music over unpaid positions have been given the green light to alert more than 3,000 others who might wish to join a class action lawsuit.
The action is being spearheaded by attorneys at Virginia & Ambinder and Leeds Brown. The lead plaintiff is Kyle Grant, who interned at WMG subsidiary Warner Bros. Records from August 2012 to April 2013. A student at the time, Grant says he typically worked five days a week, from 9:30 am until 8 pm, and performed the kind of routine office tasks that might have been handled by paid employees. Like others suing entertainment companies, he's contending that the internship program violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
STORY: Former MTV Intern's Class Action Lawsuit Moving Forward
The plaintiffs' lawyers have pushed for certification as well as a notice to send out to other interns.
Warner Music responded by doubting the commonality of the plaintiffs, saying that the plaintiffs' right to compensation would turn on whether each of the plaintiffs was properly classified as employees under the FLSA or fall within "trainee" exceptions. It's a defense that worked for Hearst in response to claims from interns working at Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire, but not so well for Fox Entertainment Group in a separate class action. Both of those cases are now on appeal at the 2nd Circuit, and will likely impact the massive amount of internship litigation, including the one filed by Grant on behalf of himself and others similarly situated.
In the meantime, the interns suing Warner Music want to advance to the next stage, and so U.S. district judge Paul Gardephe got the opportunity to weigh in on a motion for a class notice. In his opinion on Tuesday, the judge rules narrowly, carefully noting that he's not addressing the merits of the claims and for the purposes of deciding whether a notice should be sent out, there's a low standard.
Nevertheless, the interns hear welcoming news from the judge that could provide a reason for optimism as the case proceeds. "Plaintiffs have made out a facie case of a common FLSA violation," writes the judge. "Plaintiffs allege that they performed the same work-as non-exempt employees in their respective departments, and that they received no compensation or academic credit for their work. Plaintiffs have also submitted documentary evidence that supports their claims, including internship position postings that uniformly state, 'Every Intern is assigned a special project that will both assist them in increasing their understanding of how each department operates, and aid the department in addressing a business need.' The evidence offered by Plaintiffs is sufficient to meet the 'low' standard of proof for court-authorized notice."
STORY: Interns Win Huge Victory in Labor Lawsuit Against Fox
As this lawsuit proceeds, the legality of internships is getting feisty at the appeals court. Recently in the Fox appeal, amicus briefs were lodged by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Not everyone is waiting around to hear the outcome. On Tuesday, a class action filed by former unpaid interns at Elite Model Management announced a settlement -- the largest to date over the issue of internships. According to the terms, participating interns have been guaranteed a minimum payment of $700 up to $1750 for their time worked at Elite, one of the nation's most prestigious modeling agencies. In total, Elite is paying $450,000 to approximately 150 interns.

Zoe Saldana in Nina
Fans waited years for the biopic on Nina Simone to finally go into production, and many were shocked when director Cynthia Mort cast the willowy Dominican actress as the High Priestess of Soul, whose music and persona were largely defined by her looks. Change.org even launched a petition to get Mort to reconsider her decision. As for Saldana, she finally addressed the controversy by telling reporters, "I know what Nina Simone means to me."

countable or uncountable?
Bella from Switzerland writes:
Could you please explain countable and uncountable nouns? Cake is uncountable in certain cases but countable when we say:
countable nouns
Countable nouns are the names of separate items which can be counted. They can normally be used with the indefinite article a / an and in the plural with numbers, many, few, some, any:
uncountable nouns
Uncountable nouns are the names of materials or collections of other things which in English we regard as masses and not as separate items. Uncountable nouns are not normally used with the indefinite article a / an or in the plural. For example, we cannot say an accommodation or many accommodations. Instead we have to say:
Note that we need to use much / little with uncountable nouns, many / few with countable nouns and that we use some / any with both countable and uncountable nouns.
uncountable nouns: word families
What is a countable noun in your language may be an uncountable noun in English. It may therefore be a good idea to try to learn uncountable nouns in groups connected with the same subject area, e.g.:
TRAVEL: information, travel, traffic, accommodation, money, equipment, luggage, clothes, pyjamas, jeans, trousers, shorts, tights, knickers, pants.
Note that all the uncountable nouns associated with clothes are plural uncountables. They cannot be used in the singular form or with numbers. We cannot say for example a shorts or two shorts. Instead we have to say:
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: furniture, bedding, flooring, washing-up liquid, washing powder:
WEATHER: weather, lightning, thunder, rain, snow, wind, sunshine:
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES: cotton, wool, fabric, leather, plastic, wood, stone, concrete, oil, gas, coal:
FOOD: sugar, salt, pepper, rice, pasta, spaghetti, flour, butter, bread, soup:
PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVOUR: work, research, knowledge, intelligence, training, progress, stamina, patience, determination, commitment, reliability, loyalty:
uncountable > countable
Note that when we want to transform an uncountable noun into a countable expression, we normally use a partitive structure. We have already had: bread > a slice of bread, snow > a bit of snow, shorts > a pair of shorts, research > a piece of research. Here are some of the most common associated with weather
BBC weather forecast: There will be a touch of frost in East Anglia and the East Midlands might get a shower or two of rain before the night is out.
Some nouns, as in your example of cake, Bella, have both countable and uncountable uses with some difference in meaning. Here are some common examples with their respective uses and meanings illustrated. Make sure you know the difference between the uncountable and countable meaning.
Do you also know the expression a piece of cake? This expression describes something that is very easy to do, even though you might be worried that it will be difficult:

Originally posted by maskedweasel I have to admit its an interesting idea. BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARL'S JUNIOR. We put up with such things in movies and television all the time. BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARL'S JUNIOR. However like others have said, first it would have to blend into the game's atmosphere. BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARL'S JUNIOR. And not be abused by the game company. BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARL'S JUNIOR. However, considering how its these kinds of marketing horseshit that has turned my away from games the last couple of years (cash shops in subscription based MMOs, forced use of Steam or Origin even with store bought boxed games, etc) I think no matter how tastefully the advertising was added that I would still avoid the game like the plague. BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARL'S JUNIOR. Carl's Junior "Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . " |
I like how you use ads and tastefull in the same sentence as if they can co-exist in our world. ALL ads are trash, so a game full of ads would be a game full of trash. |
Joined: 9/24/07 "Kids, try imagining how far the universe extends! Keep thinking about it until you go insane." |
Originally posted by snapfusion I think theres a certain amount of leniency when you consider some ads can truly be unobtrusive and immersive, while others are annoying nad take away from gameplay. But, ads in places like loading screens wouldn't necessarily hurt gameplay, and if it aided in a payment type that allowed you full access to a game you were interested in playing without having to purchase anything or spend money in a cash shop, wouldn't that be a decent trade off? Of course, paid versions would be mostly ad free. |
Minus the idea of ads popping up during gameplay, no, I would not mind, so long as it fit within the context of the game. A game like APB would ,IMHO, be spuced up a bit with some variety in the billboards and generic stores sprinkled throughout the game, and if some Ads mean that there is less focus on the cash shop and whatnot, it's a win-win, right? |
Originally posted by maplestone The easy way to do this. is simple to have players see ads at launch window, and during load screens in Fantasy MMO (since Load Screens arent lore related anyway.) you could also send ads through mail, and also have ingame merchant NPC which on a timely rate send out Advertisements to players, in a similar way Gold Sellers do. |
Nope, I see enough ads on a daily basis. Virtual worlds are one of the few places I can go without being inundated with that crap. |

Opinion: Has corruption stunted Szczecin's growth?
'Why has Szczecin never achieved its potential?', is a question frequently asked by visitors to and residents of the capital of Zachodniopomorskie.
Szczecin is the closest Polish city to Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is also the closest and easiest city to reach from Denmark. For these reasons, Szczecin was selected as the NATO headquarters for central and northern Europe. We might therefore suppose that Szczecin would be one of the most natural and convenient destinations for Scandinavian and German investment in the 'new' Europe. Yet the lion's share of such investment goes not to the capital of Zachodniopomorskie, but rather to the Tricity, Poznań and Wrocław. We need to ask ourselves 'why'?
GDP in Poland increased by 46.8% in Poland as a whole during the 'noughties', (2000-2010). The figure for Poznań was 36.7%, in Wrocław it was 48.4%, and in Warsaw 58.9%; yet Szczecin saw growth of a mere 14.3%. Szczecin has underperformed on a massive scale.
The cause of such catastrophic underperformance is neither Poland as a whole, nor the geographical location of Szczecin, which is excellent. The main cause is a weak and corrupt city administration, and those who have ensured this weak administration have both attained and retained power.
2005. A certain Szczecin businessman opens his latest restaurant on Wały Chrobrego. The 'elite' of Szczecin are in attendance: lawyers, city politicians, local government officials. This includes the four previous presidents of Szczecin as honoured guests.
Fast forward to 2011, and the opening of a further restaurant on Plac Orła Białego. Again, we see the same elite. Again the same four presidents, this time including the present incumbent.
Let us return to 2004. The then president of Szczecin, Marian Juczyk, is in danger of losing his position in a local referendum calling for his dismissal. Who funded the campaign against. A restauranteur, pan G.
Did our friend the 'well-known businessman' give his support to pan Marian as the man best qualified and able to move Szczecin forward into the twenty-first century? We are discussing a president who cost the city over five million złoty when he illegally renaged on a deal to allow a German consortium to build a shopping center in Pomorzany, who further reputedly asked of any potential foreign investors whether they were Żydzi or Niemcy (Germans or Jews), and who also suspected businessmen of 'hiding behind Polish names', (being crypto-Jews). Clearly, pan G wanted an easily-manipulated fool to remain in charge of Szczecin.
By 2006, Jurczyk was clearly 'damaged goods'. Who better to replace him than the present incumbent, Piotr Krzystek, a previous vice-president of Jurczyk, and a man who was himself implicated in making dubious use of former city property? Who was it that funded Krzystek's re-election campaign after he had been disowned by his party Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform)?
According to Gazeta Wyborcza, in the article 'Z kim Paweł G robił KESZ' (With whom did Paweł G create KESZ, Szczecin enthusiasts club), 'the well-known businessman' pan G was responsible for the 'Floating Garden' strategy. Of course, such a 'strategy' is ideal for the owner of restaurants on Wały Chrobrego, but makes far less sense for an industrial city which is no obvious tourist destination.
How have the alleged activities of Paweł G damaged Szczecin and its potential development?
First of all, by supporting Jurczyk to retain the city presidency, pan G used his money and influence to help keep in power a man who created the worst possible impression on potential foreign investors, and who have most probably taken their money, expertise and jobs elsewhere.
Secondly, by allegedly using his power and influence on local officials and politicians to ensure he keeps prime locations for himself, pan G has not allowed fair competition in Szczecin, which most likely frustrates young, dynamic and ambitious businessmen, who must be tempted to either become dishonest themselves, or else try their luck outside the city.
Why, after so many years of one person having allegedly undue influence over the the city's officials and politicians, have the CBA (Poland's anti-corruption bureau) finally decided to act?
Did pan G overreach himself with his most recent 'advantageous' purchases of city property in 2012/13, creating the appearance of influence that was so blatantly obvious and seemingly corrupt that the powers that be could no longer afford to continue to turn a blind eye?
Or is it that someone more ruthless and greedy than pan G wishes to be known as the 'king' of the local hospitality trade and is himself using his 'influence' to topple the previous incumbent?
I hope, for the sake of Szczecin, the former scenario to be the true one.

Hello Sir. Many thanks for your excellent site. Just wish to say that in my humble opinion the main reason for the decline of Stettin with its once flourishing shipbuilding industry was Poland's joining a very harmful organization called European Union.
Best wishes, Alexander in occupied Russia.

Preliminary Damage Survey Summaries
***Review of Survey Information and data continues with revisions to the summaries below possible***
NWS personnel, in cooperation with county Emergency Management officials, conducted surveys of the wind damage to determine if distinct damage could be found which would be associated with tornadic development. Numerous eyewitness reports came in of funnel clouds and possible tornado touchdowns from Grant county, into Wells and Adams counties in
According to current classification standards, gustnadoes are classified as thunderstorm winds and not tornadic winds. That does not diminish the threat that they can pose or the fact that they look and act just like tornadoes. The vast majority of the damage in this swath was the result of damaging straight-line winds about 60 to 80 mph. Damage indications in a few areas leaned toward peak wind speeds around 90 mph as well.
Grant County
Damage patterns indicate that at least one brief tornado did occur just to the northwest of
The tornado mentioned above appeared to have occurred coincident with a microburst wind event that originated to the southwest in a subdivision north of West Harreld Road and west of Frances Slocum Trail. This wind swath widened out to three quarters of a mile after it crossed State Route 15 and affected another subdivision with substantial tree damage. Winds were estimated at between 65 and 85 mph. Additional sporadic wind damage was noted through the remainder of the county, with one more extensive area of straight-line wind damage found near the town of
Wells and Adams Counties
Several areas of concentrated damage were seen across Wells and
Scattered tree damage was found across
Significant tree damage was found scattered across
Van Wert County ***recent update*** THE TEAM ALSO VERIFIED THAT A TORNADO HAD OCCURRED FRIDAY JUNE 6TH 2 MILES SOUTHWEST OF WETSEL DURING A DAMAGE SURVEY FOR THE JUNE 9TH STORMS. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS WERE NOTIFIED OF DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TORNADO AFTER THE INITIAL SURVEY ON JUNE 7. THIS TORNADO WAS CLASSIFIED AN EF-1 WITH WINDS AROUND 90 MPH. THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN AT CONVOY RD...AND TRACKED NE THROUGH A RESIDENCE. NUMEROUS TREES WERE SNAPPED...UPROOTED AND TOPPED. SIDING AND ROOF DAMAGE ALSO OCCURRED TO A HOUSE. THE TORNADO WAS 100 YARDS WIDE WITH A HALF MILE PATH LENGTH. 6/10/08
Just as was observed in adjacent Adams county Indiana, widespread reports of wind damage, with speeds estimated as high as 90 mph across Van Wert county. Several eyewitness reports in the county stated observing a wall or blast of high winds and dust that was then preceded several minutes later by heavy rain and small hail.
