This one isn't recent but its my all time hated anime series - 11 eyes. Couldn't handle watching the whole series (and i "always" watch from start to finish if possible). Even to this day I shudder at the name...
There's nothing worse then a main character that is useless and constantly having the typical "im weak" complex when they have a power and do nothing with it (Hiiro No Kakera is an excellent example of this). Not to mention the lame characters, I wanted to stab the girl that starts having mental problems later in the series and is obsessed with the main character. Didn't care much for the others and the initial twist that the good guys were apparently bad just ruined it for me - they were trying way too hard
One piece and fairytale.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
Well, if we're talking about things I thought I was going to like but didn't, then Elfen Lied and Sword Art Online (that's right, I didn't like SAO before it was cool).
If we're talking about things I started off liking but then got worse...Soul Eater, perhaps. Oh, and 07 Ghost. The first episode was ridiculously amazing.
Arcana Famiglia. It looked like it was going to be this shounen tournament arc series but after the first episode it just devolves into a bunch of fucking filler. Don't even bother with it.
King of Thorn. It suffered from the same problem as the X/1999 movie--it tried to cram several volumes' worth of manga material into a two-hour movie. It became a convoluted mess that made no sense. Don't waste your time.
Inuyasha. I seriously got into anime at a point where every otaku had to have seen at least one episode of this series. Watched it on Adult Swim for years only to see it end with a massive cop-out ending. And only NOW do we get Final Act! The damage was done years ago! Give it the Hellsing Ultimate treatment. Disregard the first anime and FA and just make a complete reboot that actually follows the manga instead! If we can get it with Hellsing, Fullmetal Alchemist, Negima, Hunter x Hunter, and X, there's no reason why Inuyasha can't get the same treatment.
Air Gear. Same thing with Inuyasha above--watched all of 25 episodes only to see it end without anything resolved. Why insult the viewers this way? Screw this bad show--read the manga instead!
Bleach. It was great up until the early Hueco Mundo arc. Cue the massive amount of fillers crammed into HM. Why can't they just take season breaks like American shows do? What do they think is going to happen?
haha this topic seems fun so ill join
**Spoiler Alert**
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
1st was death note. It started out so great, in fact it was slowly climbing its way to my fav anime of all time. Then disaster strikes, L dies and the plot, light, and the whole tone of the show took a 180 for the worse and the second half of that series was just super disappointing
2nd bleach, the series started off so great! the whole soul reaper thing and watching ichigo and all his friends growing. Then came the disappointing part when the fillers happened after the soul society arc. the show never seemed to get back on track and started to go all dragon ball z mode. The side characters lost most of their flair as the humans became more and more useless. Ichigo kept gaining massive power ups out of no where. and the story seemed to drag on way to much. now there was some bright spots but not enough to save the series in my eyes. could have been great but feel to the way side the more and more they got away from the original plot points.
3rd and last i will use is SOA. the arc or the SOA arc was good imo, could have been great but it was good none the less. now with this second arc the story just seems to be repeating itself. the danger is gone for the players, Kirito starts the new game out as the strongest player. just really losing interest in this one and will probably lose me soon
Fairy Tail! Coz it's more like a hentai now.
I need someone to mingle with.
Negima!! but only that version, the manga and the other anime that was made has both been good imo Although i hated the ending in the "original" anime ^^
fish go m00
The two that instantly come to mind are the Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei saga and Demon King Daimao. Good god, they were both absolutely horrid. I'm personally surprised that I finished the whole SZS saga. It was literally a difficult challenge.
My previous status is even more relevant now!
Fairy Tail for me, especially now with the Grand Magic Games arc. I can't get over how horrible this arc is.
I had high hopes for the Fourth Shinobi World War in Naruto, but it turned out to be a HUGE disappointment. I just don't care about the series, hell I stopped caring after the Hidan and Kakuzu arc.
I don't usually go into an anime with high hopes. If anything, I'm always expecting cliches from animes I'm about to watch. The Pet Girl of Sakurasou is one of the anime I thought was going to suck but turned out to be exceptional.
Muv-Luv Total Eclipse, on the other hand, was an anime I thought was going to rock, I thought it was going to be a Full Metal Panic! 2.0... but it's so mediocre.
The concept and plot are fine, but... the characters are all annoying, I don't connect to any of those characters and they're so unrealistic.
Like someone who is a Lieutenant shouldn't be so weak-minded and indecisive.
I like characters that are realistic and unique and didn't appear in hundred of animes before already.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
this is a tough one, I think it's a tie.
first :
cowboy bebop for taking in outlaw star fans and lower it's ratings and killing outlaw star's chance of a season 2, then sucking ass so hard it kills it's own chance of further seasons too. not to mention spike was a horrible MC.
ichigo 100%, junpei manaka should have ended up with toujo aya, but the author kept going writing for another year or so, and he ended up with the damn blonde. (although the anime and specials ended somewhere during high school still, I think during summer break or right after second year started)
School Days
I liked the first 2 episodes, but then it went downhill, fast... -.-
what is this cr stuff
What's one thousand minus seven?
Evangelion and FLCL. I think it's mainly because I disliked the protagonist in both shows.
Fate Stay Night, Original FMA and This ugly yet beautiful world. Their endings completely ruined all the enjoyment I got out of the series.
Also an anime that went in a direction that I didn't see coming(though I wasn't hyped going in) was Kimi ga Nozomu Eien(Rumbling Hearts) Dat 2nd episode plot twist. That anime made me feel horrible for days afterword. So emotional

Courtney Love's estranged daughter has responded to her mother's tweets about a rumored romance with her late father's Nirvana bandmate Dave Grohl by urging Twitter.com bosses to ban her from the micro-blogging website.
Love took to her private Twitter account on Tuesday and claimed Foo Fighters star Grohl had seduced her engaged 19-year-old daughter.
She wrote, "I hear from frannies (Frances') roommate that @davegrohl hit on frances, and that she was curious, I'm not mad at her, him i am about to shoot, dead."
Grohl fired back at the rocker on Wednesday, insisting her Twitter.com rant was completely false.
A statement from him read: "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue."
And now Cobain has offered her response in a statement, which reads: "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way.
"I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy. Twitter should ban my mother."
Cobain is engaged to rocker Isaiah Silva.

Rivals100: Toughest decisions
MORE: 2013 Rivals100 | R100 story | R100 chat
Rivals.com's football recruiting analysts weigh in on their toughest decision in the initial Class of 2013 Rivals100 rankings.
Mike Farrell: My toughest decision was where to rank Derrick Green (No. 64) and Taquan Mizzell (No. 86) in relation to one another. Both are great backs with different styles and needed to be close numerically at the position and overall. It will be interesting to see this battle for Virginia's top running back all year.
Adam Gorney: My toughest call in the Rivals 100 was keeping both Tahaan Goodman and Chris Hawkins out of it. The two defensive backs from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., have outstanding junior film and have picked up numerous offers in the last week - some major ones - so I'm wondering whether they deserve to be up just a little bit higher. I've heard only good things about both of them from trusted sources as well but I have not seen them play in person so I wanted to be a little more conservative off the bat. The good thing is there are so many updates to the Rivals100 and I'm sure I'll see both of them numerous times over the coming months. Those will be my chances to see if they're properly placed in the Rivals 250 or if they deserve a major bump into the top 100.
Josh Helmholdt: Alliance (Ohio) Marlington safety Dymonte Thomas is one of the fastest players in the Midwest for 2013, and overall an outstanding athlete. As a junior, though, he mostly played close to the line of scrimmage and we did not get a chance to see much of him in coverage. So, we did not get too bullish on his ranking until we were able to more thoroughly assess his coverage skills.
Chris Nee: Including Derrick Henry among the top 100 prospects was a no-brainer, but exactly where he should fall in and what primary position he should be considered for is tough to gauge at this point. Henry has been a running back throughout his high school career and says he intends to remain at that spot when he reaches the next level, but we feel at this point it is best to consider him a unique, special athlete who could play a variety of positions possibly on either side of the ball. Ranking him as an athlete leads to a bit of an unknown territory because you aren't specifically comparing him to running backs.
Keith Niebuhr: He's not in my region, but I'll go with Derrick Henry, who is rated as an athlete but plays running back at Yulee (Fla.). He's listed at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds and is among the best put-together prospects in this class. The question is this: Which position will he play in college? Some think tailback. Others worry he's too big for that position. Might he be better suited for tight end? Or defensive end? I really don't know. And neither do many college coaches. Even though he has rushed for a ton of yards, I worry about his upright style at the next level. What I do know is that Henry is an exceptional athlete. And I truly believe he will succeed no matter the position. Therefore, I believe he's a top-100 prospect. But I'm not sure precisely where he belongs. Ultimately, he landed at No. 29.

Brian Perroni: It is a very strong year in the state of Texas for defensive tackles and all of the top prospects seem to have huge upsides. With Isaiah Golden, Justin Manning, A'Shawn Robinson and Darius James (though James is listed as an offensive guard), those four could have gone in nearly any order. It was tough to decide exactly which order to place them within the Rivals100 as they are all very, very good players.

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I love the title for Stephen Blackmoore's February release – Dead Things just sounds so cool!
In stores February 2013
Necromancer is such an ugly word, but it's a title Eric Carter is stuck with.
He sees ghosts, talks to the dead. He's turned it into a lucrative career putting troublesome spirits to rest, sometimes taking on even more dangerous things. For a fee, of course.
When he left L.A. fifteen years ago he thought he'd never go back. Too many bad memories. Too many people trying to kill him.
But now his sister's been brutally murdered and Carter wants to find out why.
Was it the gangster looking to settle a score? The ghost of a mage he killed the night he left town? Maybe it's the patron saint of violent death herself, Santa Muerte, who's taken an unusually keen interest in him.
Carter's going to find out who did it and he's going to make them pay.
As long as they don't kill him first.
What are you waiting on?

One thing that the Detroit Pistons series showed the 76ers was that they still have a long way to go to get to that next level. Which is why the offseason will be interesting.
There have already been many great suggestions from the fans of this blog and to my e-mail on what the Sixers should do. For the next few months we will be dealing a lot with this topic.
If this reporter had one player he would try to land, it would be Mike Miller of Memphis.
As mentioned in Sunday's Inquirer, Miller has two years and almost $19 million left on his contract. He is 28, in the prime of his career and if I were coach K, he'd be on my Olympic team.
Miller gives the Sixers something they desperately need - perimeter shooting.
Memphis almost dealt him to Miami at the trade deadline. The key question is whether the Sixers have the players or draft choices that Memphis would desire.
To be fair to both teams, this is all speculation. We know the Sixers like Miller's game, but do they like it enough to pursue a trade?
And if Memphis is no longer looking to dump salary as it did in the Pau Gasol deal, then the Sixers may not be the best fit.
We know the need the Sixers have for a low-post presence. But after seeing Rasheed Wallace connect on more three pointers than the entire Sixers team during the Pistons series, the lack of a perimeter game has to be addressed.
And who better to address it with than somebody who shot 50.2 percent from the field and 43.2 percent from three-point range for a team that finished tied for the third worst record in the NBA?

Since my contract renewal was up, I had the option to renew it and buy a new phone alongside with it. Since I have an unofficial policy of never buying into the same platform twice in a row, and because it has been a long time since I bought something from Cupertino, I decided to go with the newest iPhone, the 5S. I'm planning on a more thorough review sometime later this year after more thorough use, but here are a few short first impressions.

Two Chicago private school employees are scheming on a thing that's "Sabotage."
Duane Freeman and Mike Ferbrache didn't expect a remake of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" video--which was directed by Spike Jonze in 1994--to get much attention beyond their students and faculty at Francis W. Parker K-12 School in Lincoln Park. It was just a fun way to showcase the school's librarians in a new light for an annual variety show for the students in May.
Until last week, the near shot-for-shot redo of the cheesy cops and robbers style video sat on their Vimeo page, collecting a couple thousand views. But in the last week, the duo -- which performs comedy shows around Chicago on the side -- has watched views of the video exceed 140,000, all from a little library love.
"It's just been so fun," Freeman, 34, of Roscoe Village and a counselor at the school, said. "I've had a smile on my face all weekend."
The explosion of attention started last week, Freeman said, when the New York Public Library shared the video on their Tumblr last Wednesday. From there, popular technology and culture blog Boing Boing gave it some love on Friday. By Monday, the video had amassed more than 100,000 views thanks to the Huffington Post, CBS News and Rolling Stone.
"I'm kind of blown away by the whole thing," Ferbrache, 38, of Logan Square and a 3rd grade teacher at the school, said. "It's been amazing to watch."
Both credit the dedication of the librarians to their roles for the popularity of the video. It was a way for them to shed the quiet, stuffy perceptions librarians often get, they said.
"They didn't hold back anything," Ferbrache said. "it was great. They were 100-percent committed to their roles."
It's not the first time they've solicited the help of faculty for videos. They've also recreated OK Go's "Here it Goes Again" (the one with the treadmill dancing) as well as Michael Jackson's "Bad."
Freeman said the librarians at Francis W. Parker are in disbelief as well. "I think they are in shock," he said. "One of them emailed me back and just said 'OMG.' She usually doesn't talk like that. She's usually pretty quiet."
The cast includes librarians Anne Duncan as "Story time," Stephanie McMurray as "Late Fee," Branka Steinbaugh as "Bookworm," Margaret Threet as "Dewey" Technology Facilitator Cathy Donnelly as "The Techie" and teacher Martin Moran as "Himself."

4.3-magnitude earthquake in Kentucky felt in NC
4.3-magnitude earthquake in Kentucky felt in NC
A 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck eight miles west of Whitesburg, Ky., just after noon Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The epicenter of the shallow, light earthquake was 0.7 miles deep under the Appalachian Mountains town of Blackey, near the Virginia border, the agency told NBC News.
There were no immediate reports of damage in the eastern Kentucky area.
The tremor was felt from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Atlanta, Ga., said USGS geophysicist Paul Caruso from Denver.
A handful of WXII viewers posted on our Facebook page about it. Boone police said many people reported feeling the quake there as well.

Here are the biggest gains for the UCLA football team going into Tuesday's spring practice:
Malcolm Bunche, OL
A load at 6-foot-7, Bunche has the type of versatility offensive line coach Adrian Klemm loves. The graduate transfer started 12 games for Miami as a sophomore, but turned into a reserve last season.
Zach Whitley, LB
The four-star linebacker could be the gem of UCLA's 2014 recruiting class. The Texas native originally committed to Alabama, but followed high school teammate NaJee Toran — an incoming freshman offensive lineman — to Los Angeles.
Adarius Pickett, DB
The El Cerrito (Calif.) High product was rated one of the top-ten cornerbacks in the country by Rivals.com. UCLA returns every starter in its secondary, but Pickett could find his way into the rotation or contribute on special teams.

Certificate of Deposit Calculator
Certificate of Deposit Calculator
With traditionally higher rates than a savings account, Certificates of deposit (CDs) are a great way to reach your savings goals on a set schedule. Use this calculator to find out how much interest you can earn.
Certificate of Deposit Calculator Definitions
- Initial deposit
- The starting balance for your CD.
- Months
- The total number of months for this CD to mature.
- Interest rate
- The published interest rate for this CD. Make sure to enter the actual interest rate, not the annual percentage yield (APY).
- Compounding
- Interest earned on your CD's accumulated interest. This calculator allows you to choose the frequency that your CD's interest income is added to your account. The more frequently this occurs, the sooner your accumulated interest income will generate additional interest. You may wish to check with your financial institution to find out how often interest is being compounded on your particular CD.
- Annual percentage yield (APY)
- This is the effective annual interest rate earned for this CD. A CD's APY depends on the frequency of compounding and the interest rate. Since APY measures your actual interest earned per year, you can use it to compare CD's of different interest rates and compounding frequencies.

Podcast Helps Soybean Farmers Deal With White Mold
Source: Purdue University Press Release. www.agriculture.purdue.edu
West Lafayette, Indiana (June 20, 2013)--A group of university researchers, in conjunction with the North Central Soybean Research Program (NCSRP), have created a podcast to help farmers deal with white mold, a disease of soybeans.
"Management of White Mold in Soybean" is a seven-part podcast series available for free download on iTunes. It covers topics such as how to identify white mold, estimating yield loss, impact of irrigation on disease development, foliar fungicides, understanding risk of white mold in a growing season, biological control and guidelines for an overall management plan.
The podcasts are especially relevant as most soybeans are now planted and emerging, and farmers need to be aware of white mold, said Kiersten Wise, Purdue Extension plant pathologist and podcast co-creator.
White mold, also called Sclerotinia stem rot, is caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and can affect plant growth and ultimately yield and profits.
"White mold isn't a problem every year in Indiana, but when it is present, it can cause significant yield loss," Wise said. "Growers who have had white mold problems in the past should be prepared for the disease, since the fungus that causes white mold survives in the soil for a very long time."
This disease thrives in cool, wet conditions and under a dense foliar canopy. Early planting, narrow row width, high plant populations and high soil fertility all can contribute to more dense canopies, and increase the risk of disease development.
"The fungus that causes white mold infects soybeans as they're starting to flower in growth stage R1," she said. "If cool, wet weather persists during flowering, a fungicide application might be necessary to suppress the disease."
Wise said there are several fungicides that are available for use on white mold, but not all commonly marketed fungicides are effective against the disease. Growers should contact Extension personnel to determine which fungicides are recommended for use on white mold.
Management of white mold can be tricky because once farmers find evidence of the disease in the field, it might be too late to manage it that year. But identifying the disease can help future crops.
Wise said white mold is an easy plant disease to identify.
"If you suspect that you have white mold in your soybeans, walk into a field and pull back the canopy and look at the lower stems," she said. "If it looks like little bits of cotton are stuck to the lower stems, that's a good indication that you have white mold."
Recordkeeping and knowledge of field history are important parts of controlling white mold.
"The next time that field goes into soybeans, you want to choose a variety that is less susceptible to white mold and make sure that you're planting at recommended seeding rates," Wise said. "The higher the seed population, the more conducive the environment will be for white mold to develop."
Incidences of white mold vary from year to year, but Wise said Indiana had major occurrences in 2009 and 2011.
A PDF text version of "Management of White Mold in Soybean" to accompany the podcasts is available for free download at planthealth.info/WhiteMold.pdf.
The North Central Soybean Research Program is a farmer-led organization funded by checkoff dollars. It includes researchers in 12 states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Date: July 20, 2011
Contact: Andre Kim
Malvern, PA – The second full day of the Rachel's Vineyard Leadership Conference took place yesterday, with clergy and laity from around the world meeting for workshops that dealt with the psychological and spiritual aspects of post-abortion trauma and healing.
There was also a strong emphasis on Tuesday on the public relations aspect of post-abortion healing. Catholic media expert and broadcaster Teresa Tomeo led a number of sessions urging the post-abortion leaders to use the media to trumpet the Church's invitation to repentance and healing, and to educate society about how harmful abortion is.
One of the ways this is done is through the testimonies of the men and women who have decided to be "Silent No More" about their experiences. Georgette Forney, President of Anglicans for Life, and Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, co-founded the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. Both leaders also presented at the Conference, which is being attended by Silent No More regional coordinators from around the world. The partnership between Rachel's Vineyard and Silent No More is a natural one. Both are ministries of Priests for Life, and many who share their abortion testimony found their healing in Rachel's Vineyard.
A new version of the official guidelines for Silent No More leaders was issued yesterday, and a more deliberate strategy of collaboration between Silent No More and Rachel's Vineyard was reviewed.
Among the activities at the Conference today will be a special meeting of psychiatrists and other medical professionals who are experts in the work of Rachel's Vineyard and Silent No More.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit Priests for Life.

Here are my choices for Dodgers' Minor League Players of the Year.
Hitter of the Year
OF Scott Schebler, Rancho Cucamonga
- Schebler had himself a breakout campaign in 2013, leading the California League in total bases (277) -- the first Quake to do so since Angelo Songco in 2011 (310). Schebler was a 26th-round draft pick in 2010 by the Dodgers and was a late signee.
He started the season somewhat slowly, posting a .267/.335/.527 triple slash through the season's first two months. The slugging percentage was impressive, but a rough May helped to normalize his numbers. From June 1 through the rest of the season, Schebler was the Quakes best and most consistent hitter. He slugged .609 in his final 80 games. Even in the Cal League, that's an impressive mark.
Schebler was the only Dodger minor-leaguer to post 20 or more doubles, 10 or more triples and 20 or more home runs in 2013. That's an impressive extra-base hitting display put on by the 22-year-old.
And the topping on Schebler's season is the fact he hit lefties just as well as he hit righties this season. While he hit against righties more, he posted similar triple slash marks:
vs. LHP
.301/.368/.569 (137 PAs)
vs. RHP
.294/.358/.585 (397 PAs)
Schebler has established himself as a legitimate prospect, but it remains to be seen how he'll handle Double-A pitching come 2014.

Pitcher of the Year
RHP Zach Lee, Chattanooga Lookouts
- Lee began the season as the system's best pitching prospect (my No. 1 prospect), and ended the season as such. He acclimated himself well as a 21-year-old in the Southern League. He pitched the second half of the 2012 season in Chattanooga and made marked improvements on those numbers.
While Lee may not be the ace some expected him to be when the Dodgers selected him in the 2010 draft and gave him a $5.25 million bonus, he still has a No. 3 starter's upside.
Lee's main criticism is the lack of a strikeout pitch. He might not have a legitimate knockout pitch, but he did average 8.3 strikeouts per nine innings this season, a career-best for Lee. He also threw more strikes, establishing a career-best in strikeouts-to-walks (3.74) and walks per nine innings (2.2). His K/BB was third best among Southern League starters with at least 120 innings pitched.
With a strong spring, Lee could, ,conceivably, contend for a rotation spot in Los Angeles in 2014. More likely, he remains in the minors (if he isn't traded). He could return to Chattanooga or the organization could get ballsy and send him to Albuquerque.

Nobody Knows (UK - DVD R2)
We take a look at Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda's sombre masterpiece, illustrating the lives of four abandoned children ...
This review is sponsored by
The first time I watched Nobody Knows (aka Daremo Shiranai) was in late 2004, where the UK was fortunate enough to receive a limited theatrical run. Although I was aware of Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda, I had never actually seen any of his films so Nobody Knows allowed me to appreciate what this man had to offer. I had this prenotion that the film would be difficult to stomach, especially dealing with children abandonment, poverty and spanning well past the 2 hour mark. On the contrary, Nobody Knows is filled with happiness as well as sorrow and highlights hope in the midst of tragedy. Ultimately, this heart-achingly beautiful film is a vehicle for some of the most valuable lessons that we can learn from life.
Hirokazu Koreeda's latest drama illustrates the lives of four young children in Tokyo, as they cope with abandonment from their mother. Keiko and her four children recently rent an apartment that has strict rules about young children moving in. Subsequently, Keiko introduces her eldest child Akira (a 12 year old boy) to the landlords and smuggles the remaining children in using suitcases. The children are remarkably well domesticated, having lived at home and denied the privilege of attending school. Due to the strict rules enforced by her landlords, the mother insists to her children that only Akira may leave the house – the rest of the children must always stay inside.
Eventually, the mother who has multiple relationships with various men and quite often returns home reeking of alcohol, abandons the children but leaves them some money to fend for themselves in a harshly desolate world.
Director Hirokazu Koreeda has an extensive background in documentary filmmaking and has investigated into the problem of children coping with abandonment. However, despite its appearance, Nobody Knows is not a documentary. It is a fictional story that reflects on a wide problem in Japan that quite sadly, many people choose to neglect. Nobody Knows is filmed in a uniquely fascinating manner, a camera follows the events of the children (primarily Akira, the eldest) from a completely neutral stance, never judging whether the actions of the characters are right or wrong. It is almost as if the viewer is peeking into these children's world through a window to get an experience of what it must be like to face those bitter conditions.
The story is undeniably heart-aching; Akira's situation is incredibly painful – having to look after three siblings without the guidance of a mother. With their money, electricity and water supply running out, the children have to resort to washing in public fountains and scavenging for food. Again due to the way it is filmed, there is tremendous sense of guilt to be felt because the children are so helpless and nobody is doing anything to aid their basic needs. However at the same time, there are sudden bursts of pleasure that consequentially lead to some of the film's darkest moments. The children reveal their interests; the adorable Yuki loves to concentrate on her portraits and Kyoko wishes to learn the piano. It further emphasises the children's potential going to waste. In one scene, a frustrated Akira impresses new friends by purchasing an expensive video game. In a way, who could blame him? After all, he is only a child and as domesticated and mature as he is, Akira still has a lot to learn that only a mother can teach.
There are inevitable parallels to be made with Grave of the Fireflies, another excellent film exploring similar themes, however Nobody Knows is arguably more unbearable in terms of expressing the struggling of innocent children. Perhaps the naïve will assume that the terrible events of Grave of the Fireflies occurred in a period long gone. Conversely, Nobody Knows reminds the viewer of the vast amount of suffering that very much occurs today but is tragically ignored.
Koreeda ultimately leaves the audience to derive their own conclusions as to who is to blame. The mother's actions, as horrific as they may seem, do not necessarily make her a bad person; Keiko is openly warm with all her children and behaves as any mother should, even when her children do something wrong. The answer is that society played a predominant role in shaping the outcome of these children's lives. Anyone who came into contact with Akira and watched in silence as the siblings face poverty is directly responsible for their fates. Children rarely have a voice to express their needs so if everyone is too non-observant to help them then who will?
The film is remarkably long, lasting 141 minutes but never drags. The pacing is beautifully slow, taking its time to illustrate the delicate situation and often random background objects are given the primary focus of attention. I believe Yasujiro Ozu applied a similar technique in his movies, quite often the viewer would witness a scene, then an unimportant object such as a tree flowing in the wind or smoke escaping a chimney would be highlighted – allowing the audience to savour what had just happened – before moving onto the next scene. In Nobody Knows, certain actions occur at the very edge of the frame and quite often off screen, with only the ambient noise to direct the viewer of what is happening.
The editing is also nicely paced and keeps the camera movement to a minimum – any panning or tilting implies that the audience is there with the characters, which is not what Koreeda wanted at all. He used a 'fly on the wall' approach to follow the motion of events. Any camera movement usually occurs when examining the children from a safe distance or even behind an object. To further enhance this feeling the use of music has been kept to a minimum, only silence, background murmurs and conversations make up majority of the soundtrack.
It is interesting to note that the four children are played by non-professionals. Neither have had previous acting experience and the performances were still natural and convincing. Yuya Yagira, who plays Akira, won the best actor award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival due to his startlingly authentic performance. Furthermore, Koreeda filmed Nobody Knows chronologically over the course of one year and it shows – the children age as they would in real life.
In retrospect, many of us are probably indirectly responsible for ignoring issues such as child abandonment and poverty. We all take for granted what we have and what we have achieved, myself no exception. Nobody Knows increases awareness of these problems and is therefore one of the most important films of 2004, which I would strongly urge everyone to examine. It is moving and makes the viewer think closely of the issues raised within the film. Credit must be given to Hirokazu Koreeda for one of the finest accomplishments in contemporary cinematic history.
Nobody Knows is presented in an anamorphic widescreen format, maintaining an aspect ratio of approximately 1.78:1. However there is a black border at both sides of the picture, making the actual visible image more 1.66:1. The entire movie is filmed using a handheld camera, providing Nobody Knows with a genuine low budget documentary feel. As a result, a few speckles creep up from time to time and there is a tremendous amount of grain but these are never distracting. Of course if this were a new blockbuster then the audience is within their right to complain but as is the case, the insight into these children's lives is far more powerful then any technical issue.
The colours are reasonably natural, nothing looks altered or artificial and the shades are solidly kept in place with no evidence of smearing. External lighting was utilised but even this was subtly executed to provide striking realism, focusing on the cold areas of isolation. Shadow detail and black levels are admirable and the contrast balance is consistent throughout the film. In fact overall, the image is very perceptible and clear, with no signs of motion blurring or other major visual misrepresentations. There is however an unusual halo on the image border but considering it does not leave a mark anywhere else, this can be forgiven.
Nobody Knows contains a Japanese soundtrack in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo. Firstly, the audio is really quiet so the volume needs to be turned way up to hear anything. Certain chapters are riddled with multiple noise sources, which are distributed evenly throughout the channels. At other times, there is a sort of deafening silence. The audio retains professional mixing and balance; it is ultimately clear enough to decipher the onscreen action. Even directional effects are employed. Occasionally if a character has just entered a particular location but is out of frame then the audio will adjust to recreate the desired effect.
The optional English subtitles are of top quality – perfectly legible, free of mistakes and nicely paced. They reflect well on the characters and conversations, being colloquial when required.
On the second disc, there is a 33m documentary exposing the director's thoughts and intentions with the movie. Hirokazu Koreeda is interviewed and discusses the production process. There is also footage from the audition, premier and the Cannes Film Festival 2004, where Yuya Yagira collected his award for best actor.
Next there is a music video of the film's main ballad, "Hoseki," which also contains a montage of footage from Nobody Knows. The tune has a lovely melody and is a joy to listen to. Hopefully this will make it onto other DVD regions.
To finish things off, there is a TV spot, photo gallery and biographies. The menus are in Japanese and there are no subtitles for the supplementary materials. The set is absolutely beautiful; it includes a director's note (in Japanese) and post card set and everything is housed inside a gorgeous foldout digipak with sturdy cardboard sleeve.
Nobody Knows will undoubtedly leave a formidable impact upon the viewer by exposing the desolate universe of abandoned children. Hirokazu Koreeda's minimalist approach employs documentary and fictional narratives to create a film that is visually stunning and delivers precision execution. Whilst there is no straightforward storyline as such, the viewer is given an insight into what it means to be a child struggling through poverty without the simple privileges we all take for granted. The solid, natural performances and shocking turn of events will certainly open the viewer's eyes to the truth of neglected and suffering children.
By making this film, Koreeda has given these children a voice as the rest of us are too blind to notice them. The Japanese DVD is a worthy addition to the shelves, as this is probably going to be the best presentation for the time being. With any luck, future releases will have decent subtitled extras, which will make the whole Nobody Knows experience complete.
You can purchase this title for $41.99 from top retailer Yes Asia.

Prior, similar questions (ie. '3880 vs 4900' yields at least 7 results) pretty much all point to physical size differential between the printers, lack (or support of) roll paper, lack (or support of) smaller than 8x10 (or is it 8.5x11?) cut sheet and ink cost (by virtue of larger carts on the 4900) as key decision factors w/ any quality difference between the two being very minor
The 3880 does not accept rolls of paper, so if you wish to use 17" rolls the 4900 is indicated.
Coming from a 4000, my main criteria is clog free or almost clog free printing. The 4900 is considered an industrial printer, but it hasn't got an universal stellar reputation in terms of clogging or sudden dead syndrome. The 3880 is touted and a clog free printer, but my concern is if it's tough enough. Any insight to the robustness of the 3880 would be greatly appreciated.Paul
The business has changed for wedding and portrait photographers. The days of selling beautiful prints to clients is diminished. Everyone wants the files so that they can run off to Costco to get there prints made there. I love printing so I still do it but it would be just as easy to send everything to the lab. Printing is my lost leader and I accept that. Does anyone hear have anything to say about Cone Inks. I'm thinking of using them in the printer. At may age, I'm not to worried about fading prints in the next 20 to 30 years.

Justin Bieber Has Tea and Cookies With Sophia Grace + Rosie on 'Ellen'
Sophia Grace and her blonde pal Rosie are everywhere, like horse poop! The precocious British lasses invited Justin Bieber to have tea and cookies with them on Friday's (Sept. 14) episode of 'Ellen.' Of course, the princesses grilled the Biebs about what games he likes to play and his favorite kind of cake -- all things any self-respecting Belieber wants to know.
So what does JB do with pals? He goes bowling and to the movies. If you're his girlfriend, well, he'll rent out the Staples Center so you can watch 'Titanic' together.
His favorite cake is ice cream cake. Oooooh, good choice, Biebs. Carvel makes the best, most yummy ice cream cakes in existence. Trust us, we know. He didn't need to convince Sophia Grace and Rosie about the inherent value of ice cream cake. They love all kinds of cake. Let's hope their mums and dads have taught them good dental hygiene and to brush their teeth at least twice a day.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are tops for him, as well. Watch, Beliebers will be baking batches and bringing the homemade treats to shows on the upcoming Believe tour.
He reiterated that he is afraid of sharks.
The girls weren't about to let it be all about the Biebs, either. They sang a far bars of 'Baby' without requiring or even requesting an assist from the singer who made the song famous. They quickly established that this is 'The Sophia Grace and Rosie Show.' Step off, Biebs.

Good Day For Stallone to Die Hard At the Box Office
Nobody Wonders
If you had to choose which action film to see this year, would you see Stallone's Bullet to the Head or Bruce Willis's Good Day to Die Hard.? Which film is going to make more money?
After all, if there is one mega- movie star that has shot more people in sheer volume alone it's ROCKY….who has come out and supported Obama's new gun laws:
"I know people get (upset) and go, `They're going to take away the assault weapon.' Who … needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault. … You can't hunt with it. … going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?"
It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, 'It's ending, it's over, all bets are off. It's not 200 years ago, we don't need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn't have it. Why should we?"
Sylvester Stallone on Access Hollywood, June 8, 1998
Now…either nobody has ever pointed a REAL bullet at Stallone's head, or he is spending just a bit too much time in his mansion in Miami, where he has untold millions hanging in rare art, and the best security apparatus that money can buy, and he feels perfectly safe. Nobody also Wonders what he's been reading lately.
Nevertheless…I don't care HOW good his movies are, I don't intend to ever spend another dime on any of his movies…and…something tells me millions of people feel the same way, after he said this:
Sylvester Stallone's "Bullet to the Head" is the latest slam-bang misfire, taking in just $4.5 million over the weekend for Warner Bros. That was even worse than Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand," which managed just $7.2 million in its debut earlier this month, and Jason Statham's "Parker," which opened to $7 million two weeks ago.
Now… "Good Day to Die Hard," the Bruce Willis film from Fox, opens on Feb. 14, and the critics are saying that it won't make any money. They are saying people are tired of actions films. But…Bruce Willis, having a bit more brains than Sly, said this:
"I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone," Willis told The Associated Press in a recent interview while promoting his latest film, "A Good Day To Die Hard." "If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?" "It's a difficult thing and I really feel bad for those families," he said. "I'm a father and it's just a tragedy. But I don't know how you legislate insanity. I don't know what you do about it. I don't even know how you begin to stop that."
Spoken like a true patriot.
Now…If Stallone thinks that banning guns is going to keep the inner city gangs from getting them, then he has been eating too many steroid bananas down on the Obama plantation.
And in support of Bruce Willis, being an upright American—-my husband is taking me to see "Good Day to Die Hard" on Valentine's Day.
Yes, Sly…it's a good day for you to die-hard at the box office. Hope you're enjoying your own self imposed hypocritical economical bullet to your own head.
But hey! Nobody appreciates your honesty..and thanks for saving me money to spend on a better man. I DO appreciate it.

Mirko Slomka insists he is not disappointed to have missed out on the Bayern Munich job as he feels he is not yet ready for a position of that size.
The Hannover boss was reportedly one of the candidates to replace Jupp Heynckes at the end of this season, but the Bavarians eventually opted to appoint Pep Guardiola instead.
"I have no business at Bayern at this point. In order to take charge of a club like Bayern, you need to have won silverware. Things would have been different had I guided Hannover to Europa League glory," Slomka told Welt.
"I'm of the opinion that it's an important prerequisite to have won something if you are to take charge of a top club.
"You have to be someone special in the way you work. You have to be able to take big decisions and command respect.
"I think I possess those qualities, but I still need to win something."
Slomka guided Hannover to fourth place in the Bundesliga in 2010-11, while they finished seventh last season to again qualify for the Europa League.

After 15 years, 700 TV episodes and 14 feature films, Ash Ketchum and millions of kids are still trying to catch 'em all.
In April 1997, the animated version of "Pokémon" premiered on Japanese television. Based on the hit Nintendo Game Boy title introduced two years earlier, the series follows the travels and travails of Ketchum (Satoshi in the original) as he tries to become a Pokémon Master by building a team that can beat other trainers in stylized battles. Traveling with Ash are perennially love-sick Brock, feisty Misty and Pikachu, the "electric mouse" Pokémon.
The series scored a huge hit in Japan, and by 1999 the game and show had conquered America. Pokémon paraphernalia were everywhere. The original motto, "Pokémon Getto Daze!" (Let's Get Pokémon!) became "Gotta Catch 'em All!" The first "Pokémon" feature film grossed more than $85 million, and horror stories appeared on the news about kids stealing one another's "Pokémon" trading cards.
Once the craze peaked, the mainstream media and a large portion of the population assumed that "Pokémon" faded away. But gamers, anime fans and parents of elementary school boys know it's still very present — as its staggering sales attest.
"People remember the late '90s/early 2000s 'Pokémon' because it was so big," says J.C. Smith, marketing director for the Pokémon Co. International. "Many people believe 'Pokémon' went somewhere after that, when it's been steady for 15 years. Over that time, 230 million 'Pokémon' video games have been sold worldwide: The franchise is second only to 'Mario,' which began 10 years earlier. The most recent game, Pokémon Black Version/White Version, has almost sold 14 million units so far. Over the years, we've also sold 19 billion Pokémon cards."
That's more than two cards for every person on the planet.
The animated series is licensed in 160 countries in 30 languages. More than 700 episodes have been broadcast over the last 15 years — by comparison, in February, "The Simpsons" hit its 500th episode over 23 seasons.
Although "Pokémon" has been accused of fostering gambling, un-Islamic conduct and Darwinism, the series and games stress friendship and good sportsmanship. When a player wins, it's not a glorious victory but a testament to his exceptional bond with his Pokémon. In the series, Ash never allows anyone to mistreat a Pokémon, and he learns self-sacrifice when he permits his Butterfree to find a mate and depart for their nesting grounds.
"Pokémon" also awakened a generation of American children to the wonders of Japanese animation. Roland Kelts, the author of "Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S.," comments, " 'Pokémon' was a breakthrough series for anime and remains one of its touchstones. It also introduced audiences, usually kids, to what I call anime style: the line-based, edgy-looking, two-dimensional visuals, and a golden triangle of merchandising strategies comprising games, collectibles and the stories themselves. Shows like 'Pokémon' and 'Dragon Ball Z' serve as gateway drugs to anime, manga and sometimes Japanese culture itself. They're often the childhood catalysts for college students who study Japanese in the U.S., or sign up for short-term home-stays or English-teaching gigs."
In August, players from 25 countries will compete in the Pokémon championships in Kona, Hawaii. The 14th "Pokémon" feature recently aired on Cartoon Network and will appear on DVD this month. This fall, Pokémon Black and White Version 2 games will debut—the first sequels in the history of the franchise. The online Pokémon Trading Card Game — for people who want to learn and play whenever they have free time — is in open beta at www.pokemontcg.com.
When asked about the enduring appeal of "Pokémon," Smith replies, "One of the reasons is the richness of its world. There are more than 640 Pokémon now, so everyone has a favorite or a team of favorites. The principle tenet of 'Pokémon' is collect, trade and battle: Now you have 640 options. You can collect them, trade them with your friends, or train them for battle in the trading card or video games. People want to complete their collections or find that one new Pokémon that helps their battle strategy."

Rated 5 out of 5 by HelenaDee from Classy and gorgeous I have this dress in black and the neon, It is a gorgeous dress and I have received a lot of compliments. The fabric is decent quality, no rips or tears, there is a slight shoulder pad which lengthens and slims your arm. Doesn't ride up, hits above the knee (I'm a shorty though). Love it! Glad it keeps coming back in. I'm quite curvy and short and it is a very flattering fit

The LM78Lxx series of three terminal positive regulators is available with several fixed
output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Used as a Zener-diode and
resistor combination replacement, the LM78Lxx usually provides an effective output impedance
improvement of two orders of magnitude and lower quiescent current. These regulators can provide
local, on-card regulation, eliminating distribution problems associated with single-point
regulation. The available voltages allow the LM78Lxx to be used in logic systems, instrumentation,
HiFi, and other solid-state electronic equipment.
The LM78Lxx is available in the plastic TO-92 (LP) package, the SOIC (D) package, and a
chip-sized package (8-Bump DSBGA) using TI's DSBGA package technology. With adequate heat sinking,
the regulator can deliver 100-mA output current. Current limiting is included to limit the peak
output current to a safe value. Safe area protection for the output transistors is provided to
limit internal power dissipation. If internal power dissipation is too high for the heat sinking
provided, the thermal shutdown circuit prevents the IC from overheating.
See AN-1112 DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale
Package (SNVA009) for DSBGA Considerations. For more information on
the TO-92 package, see TO-92 Packing Options / Ordering Instructions (SNOA072).

With spring here and summer soon approaching, most people are making plans to enjoy the warm weather that will soon be here. One place that you may want to consider is Putnam Valley.
The small town is located in the Hudson Highlands, less than an hour from midtown Manhattan by car or train. Its signature feature is the series of lakes located throughout the community which provide breathtaking views and inviting outdoor activities. Local residents often refer to Putnam Valley as the "Town of Lakes". The most notable is Lake Oscawana, which is the largest and the only one that allows motor boats in the area.
The vast amount of open space in Putnam Valley is well worth a drive just over the Westchester County border. The town offers scenic winding roads, lakes, ponds, flowing brooks and dense amount of trees Realtor Justine Cummings from Houlihan Lawrence says, "The area offers a unique lifestyle experience of peace and tranquility as you watch the the migration of birds, the birth of the new fawns, the fox running across your lawns. It's a different world here."
The local town park is also great for tennis, skateboarding, bicycling, hiking, playgrounds, baseball fields and other community events at the Pavillion. Nearby, Fahnestock State Park features its own lake with fishing, row boats and campsites adding to its appeal.
Many of the homes in Putnam Valley were summer cottages that sprang up around the lakes and are set farther apart. Over the years many have been transformed to year round homes and expanded to include a more active lifestyle. The expansion has led to many unique contemporary styles of splits, ranches and colonials. Most of these homes have lake rights and the use of nearby beaches. The natural beauty of trees, flowers on lots with rolling hills and views make this community very picturesque.
One of these unique properties currently on the market is a pond home with an open floor plan featuring a gourmet kitchen and over 3,000 square feet of living located at 1 Sunrise Drive in Putnam Valley. This home is currently being offered for sale at a price of $499,000.
Its homes like this that have peaked the interest of many visitors from the New York City market particularly Manhattan and Brooklyn. Most of the potential buyers are looking for a weekend getaway or a second home to relax in. The hustle and bustle of the city life is very stressful. Putnam Valley is the perfect place to decompress and recharge their energy levels. They really love the peace and quiet the area offers.
Currently in Putnam Valley there are 138 Single Family homes available for sale with 25 Under Contract and 20 Sales this year. Most of these homes are very reasonably priced and very affordable compared to the surrounding towns and communities. As the weather gets warmer and with the recovery of the second homes market picking up, Putnam Valley is gaining momentum.
