Haven't been there myself, but my friends are pretty well verse with it. It's a shopping convention, tons of different artists, industry booths, limited books, CDs, games, merchandise etc. You have cosplay on the roof, but other than that... Japanese anime conventions are not social gatherings, they are shopping/"event" events.

If you have no intention of purchasing doujinshi, then there is very little reason to go to comiket.
The only thing OTHER than doujinshi that is at the event at all are the cosplay area and the industry booths. The industry booths are very boring compared to say, the Tokyo Anime Fair, and basically are sales stalls where they sell merchandise, some of which is special limited editions of things they only sell at comiket. Expect to wait for 1-2 hours in line though if you actually want something limited edition from one of the major companies like Key or Kyo-ani (and that's assuming you get into the even itself early enough which would require showing up at LEAST 2-3 hours before it comiket opens).
Generally, the short answer is NO. Comiket is about spending lots of money on doujinshi and survival.
I suppose the shear crush of people at 10:00 AM on day three rushing into the halls trying to get the latest porn is something of a unique spectacle to behold, however...

thanks for the input...the only circle i'm really interested in is Vagrancy since they're run by Shikata Akiko...but beyond that, it sounds like it might not be worth it...
Are the comiket catalogues worth snagging for the sheer sake of grabbing?

There is nothing but page after page of very small frames with table information (16 per page or so), not in color.
There are also large rules and regulations sections and maps and advertisements. The CD rom version is identicle except digital.
If you aren't going they are worthless. Heck I bet if you went to an animate the day AFTER comiket they might give you one for free...

It's hot, crowded, hot, long lines, hot, stinky, hot, packed with fatally fashion-challenged geeks, hot, and extremely uncomfortable inside the building or on the train to and from.
Did I mention it's hot?
For me, it was a living hell to be standing in line after line for hours with 300,000 sweaty stinky otaku.
Sure I'm an ani-ota myself, but I never realized how uncomfortable it is until I was packed like sushi with 300 thousand (sweating) others.
Getting packed with people is a normal everyday thing in Japan, on the trains.... but usually they aren't all otaku that were standing in heat for hours, sweating, and smelling funny.
That was years ago, but I doubt much has changed yet.
If this sounds like living hell (for me it was), I advise going to the winter one instead.

Not to pull up an old thread but...
Planning on going to C75 on day 2 and 3. Do the industry booths restock on the non-limited edition items on each of the days? There are a few drama CDs and telephone cards I'm thinking of snagging. I'm residing pretty close to Toyosu Station (start station of the Yurikamome Line) so it's not an issue at all getting to Big Sight on the first train of the morning...
Other than that, I'm probably just going to snag a few CDs from Vagrancy on day 2...think it's worth going to day 3 to buy something from Fujitsubo Machine (Itou-Noizi's circle) and nothing else?

I hear that line will be insane. You should probably go early. (Fujitsubou Machine)
I am going for the first time but I have roughly an idea of what to expect.
I'm just curious...how uncomfortable is it going to be for winter comiket? Is it just as hot and sweaty?

28th - Sunny to cloudy, 12 degrees C.
29th - Cloudy, 14 degrees C.
30th- Cloudy to sunny, 15 degrees C.
At least they're no longer saying it's gonna rain though. Not quite cold enough to make everyone freeze to death waiting outside, and you're still bound to get plenty of hygienically challenged people, but the temperature isn't gonna compound the problem massively like it traditionally does in summer.

It has been somewhat cold and really windy the past couple of days; I would dress warmly but in the usual layers. Inside the building will be warmer, but the halls can be really hot and (yeah) stinky - even in winter - so you would want to take off the layers and put them away. Probably not a lot of room either, but at least it won't be like the Wonder Festival's displays where with one careless swing of the bag, you'll knock over the entire stand.

Well...looks like Fujitsubo isn't putting out anything I'd be interested in...add to that, I don't think I want to brave the early morning temps for 5hrs...
going to try strolling in around 10:30 and try to get some CD's from Vagrancy and call it a day...might go to check out the industry booths still, but I've spent a bit too much the last few days in Akihabara so...going to pass on the C75 stuff.

I'm going tomorrow to attempt to obtain a copy of Yellow Zebra's Touhou 3rd M-1 Grand Prix DVD and/or the Maikaze Touhou Anime DVD...
Wish me luck. Both of those are super high demand I'm sure, but I'm sure they'll have brought a ton of copies with them, so it'll only be a matter of time.
Actually I think the Touhou stuff might get a bit of a breather because they moved it from day 3 to day 2, so it's not combined with the "porn" day and is instead combined with the shounen day. That should theoretically make the lines for the west hall ever so slightly shorter, but we'll see...
I'm not going too nuts, though... I dunno, getting there around 7-8 AM should be good enough to get me a copy of one or the other by noon.

I'm thinking of taking the Oedo line to Tsukishima then Yurakucho to Toyosu and Yurikamome to Big Sight...Not really worried about the Oedo line, but I'm a little worried that the Yurakucho Line might be pretty crowded...
Toyosu's the start point for Yurikamome so I should only be fighting the passengers trying to board...not the passengers trying to board and the passengers already onboard from prior stations..

Early in the morning the Rinkai doesn't go through on the Shounan-shinjuku line, though, so I'll probably have to take the yamanote to Oosaki and switch onto the rinkai there.

I will not be able to make WinterComi this year.
But just out of curiousity, I heard that although it is not "Comiket" per se, there is also a Spring Doujinshi festival that also generates a massive gathering in Tokyo. Is this true?
If so, please provide Name, infromation and Website of said rumored festival.

A "Spring Dounjinshi festival"? Do you mean Sunshine Creation that is usually at the Sunshine City complex? I don't think that it's big... but I'm not really into doujinshi too much. There are bunches of small shows that you might find flyers for - and that I've seen - but their ads are usually 1-2 pages (front/back) long only.

There are literally hundreds of smaller, more specifically themed conventions throughout the year, with the biggest probably "rentaisai", the Touhou themed one that is also held at Tokyo Big Site.
But there are ones for doujin CDs, doujin of specific shows like Naruto, pretty cure, digimon, haruhi (or kyoani in general)...
Those are usually MUCH smaller affairs with 50-a couple hundred circles, and are usually in hotel conference rooms, etc...
It's nice in some ways because you can actually breath and move around and interact with people.

That is a secret.
Well, I've always been happy with Robert's Anime Corner. (Based in the USA)
I've ordered from them in the past and I have been very satisfied with their level of service. Oh, and they absolutely carry no pirated merchandise so you know everything is legit. Also, if you order $100 worth of merchandise or more, shipping is free.

Yeah lately I've been considering buying my anime online, since shops here in Canada basically take your arm AND your leg
(50-60CDN for single 3 episode discs on avg!). I stumbled upon this animeDVD site whille looking for Ghost in the Shell - SAC episodes disc and saw this KILLER deal -- take a look for yourself:
Link to pirate DVD removed
39.99USD(im pretty sure its in US currency) for the whole GITS-SAC boxset! Considering how much I pay for single discs, this deal defies logic. Naturally, I'm suspicious. So has anyone bought stuff from WellKnownPirateSourceofDVDs and know if they're a reliable/reputable source for anime? If anyone knows give me a shout.
Ja ne
Edit by Mod (xris)
Clues to pirate copies:
Cheap price
Chinese and English translation
6-7 eps per disc

Hi I am purchasing Banner of the Stars II on DVD (Yes it isn't too new anymore) and I was wondering if anyone knew of a physical place like a retailer where I can buy them for a reasonable price. I don't want online stuff because I don't have a credit card and most places only take credit cards to purchase online.. so what I am looking for is a place not a site
I currently live in Corona, CA , USA. If there is anyone who knows an answer to this plz help me out
O and is it alright if I post this without telling any referances on where to buy because a lot of the posts previously had something, but then again nenmaster only hada sentence... hmm maybe my post will be ok ok I'll stop babbling and leave

Based on my experience for the past few months, if you don't care about delivery speed and are in US:
For ADV, Media Blaster, Central Park Media titles:
www.digitaleyes.net -- 35% off plus 10% off coupon = 41.5% off
For Geneon/Pioneer, Bandai titles (Preorder 30 days advance):
www.rightstuf.com -- 25% off plus 10% off coupon plus GotAnime discount = 39.25% off (best scenario, usually at 38% off)
For Geneon/Pioneer, Bandai titles (Non-preorder)
www.digitaleyes.net -- 26% off plus 10% off coupon = 34.1% off
Few catches, Rightstuf requires order to be over $99 to get free shipping and Digital Eyes requires $20(or $25?) to qualify for free shipping so you will have to plan ahead before ordering. Also, the 10% off coupon are usually dollar off coupon like 5 off 50 or 10 off 100 so you basically have to order several DVDs together to get the discount.
Of course, studio sales at Rightstuf can save you quite a lot if you can wait for the twice a year event. Usually you get 41.5 to 46% off for ADV, MB, CPM and 39.5% off for Geneon/Pioneer and Bandai titles.
Bundles in the Rightstuf weekly special can be quite a money-saver as well. Usually you can get ADV titles for over 60% off for the whole series and recently there are several Geneon/Pioneer series sold at similar discount. Example? How about Cardcaptor Sakura Vol. 1-9 at 67% off?

I'm surprised that some of these sites that I'm listing weren't mentioned before. All of them has very good prices and a large selection.
http://animecastle.com/ --- I do most of my anime shopping from this store. They have speedy delievery and their prices are better then most other places that I've seen. I visit alot of online stores to locate the best prices.
http://www.dvdplanet.com/main.asp -- They don't just have anime but a wide selection of non-anime dvds. Sadly, that's all they sell is dvds. Be careful though, I've noticed bootlegs mixed in with the official stuff.
http://half.ebay.com/index.jsp -- Run by the people who run Ebay but the prices here are fixed so that you are paying one flat rate. S+H is extremely cheap as well. You can find almost anything here. Delievery in the States is fast.
http://www.j-fan.com/dir/Anime/Retailers/ -- This site I found one day while exploring the net. Awesome directory of links to online stories everywhere in the world. Take a look around, you might find a hidden gem.

While searching for Full Moon Wo Sagashite I bumped into this site: <Removed>
They are a small company, based in Singapore.
All their DVD's are multi-region, Japanese language only, with English and Chinese subtitles.
They sell anime DVD's that haven't been licenced in the US yet (this sounds reasonable since they are based in Singapore, where anime gets licenced quicker, as far as I know).
The site owner clearly states that they are a licenced distributor and do not sell pirated copies or fansubs. All DVD's are original.
The shipping charges are the same no matter where the destination.
Prices are very cheap.
Brief comparison between GTManga.com and DVDPacific.com:
(Currency in US Dollars)
Rurouni Kenshin eps 1-27 (Box Set) - $88.95 (members price)
$139.95 retail price.
Rurouni Kenshin eps 28-62 (Box Set) - $95.31 (members price)
$149.95 retal price.
Rurouni Kenshin eps 63-95 - Not Listed
Rurouni Kenshin (Complete Series + 3 OVA's) - $130.00
This site seems very promising. But I think it's almost too good to be true. I don't mean to offend anyone but Singapore is renowned for it's piracy (or was it Malaysia, or both? I apologise in advance if I'm mistaken)
On a sidenote...
I haven't purchased anything from them yet so I am not endorsing this site or suggesting that you rush and spend your money here for fear that they might be bootleggers or something like that.
If someone can confirm the legitimacy of this distributor please post here.
Sorry for writing so much...

Can't help you on the merchandise, but I can tell you Gunslinger Girl isn't
licensed (yet). So it'll be a while for the DVDs. That said, the manga (vol 1 at least)
IS out by ADV Manga, which also gives you a hint as to which company will probably
announce the license for the anime eventually...

HoloLens blends holograms with your world, mapping your surroundings to remember where you place your apps and content.
For your HoloLens to work properly, HoloLens Wi-Fi needs to be turned on, though it doesn't have to be connected to a network.
Tips for setting up your space
HoloLens works best in certain kinds of environments. Choose a room with adequate light and plenty of space. Avoid dark spaces and rooms with a lot of dark, shiny, or translucent surfaces (for instance, mirrors or gauzy curtains).
HoloLens is optimized for indoor use. Use it in a safe place with no tripping hazards. More on safety.
Mapping your space
When HoloLens starts mapping your surroundings, you'll see a mesh graphic spreading over the space.
To help HoloLens learn a space, walk around the space and gaze around you. Air tap in a space to light up the mesh and see what's been mapped.
If your space changes significantly—for example, if a piece of furniture is moved—you might need to walk around the space and gaze around you so HoloLens can relearn it.
If HoloLens is having trouble mapping your space or you're have difficulty placing holograms, see HoloLens and holograms: FAQ.

Apologies to the Iroquois
The Divided Ground: Indians, Settlers, and the Northern Borderland of the American Revolution
In 1700 the native peoples, whom the Europeans called Indians, demographically dominated the North American continent north of the Rio Grande. If we are to believe the best estimates, they numbered at least 1.6 million, nearly five times the 330,000 or so Europeans and Africans huddled along the Atlantic coast. A century later, by 1800, these proportions had been radically reversed: the inhabitants of North America with European and African ancestry had multiplied dramatically since 1700 and now numbered 5.5 million, over five times the number of remaining indigenous peoples, nine out of ten of whom now lived west of the Mississippi, with most of the eastern Indians having become the victims of war and especially disease.1
These startling demographic statistics form the basic setting for understanding European–Indian relations in eighteenth-century America. They also form the background for Alan Taylor's extraordinary book about white–Indian relations on the northern borderland at the end of the eighteenth century.
Taylor, a professor of American history at the University of California at Davis, who is among the most distinguished American historians, has written before about the northern borderlands of America. His first book, Liberty Men and Great Proprietors (1990), dealt with the violent protests of settlers against rich and powerful land speculators in the frontier territory of Maine during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. His next book, William Cooper's Town, which won the Bancroft Prize and the Pulitzer Prize for history in 1996, was a sensitive study of the great eighteenth-century land speculator who founded Cooperstown in upstate New York and was the father of the novelist James Fenimore Cooper.2
Taylor is obviously fascinated with borderlands, which are nearly as important a subject for historians these days as that of Indians. He has turned his remarkable gifts for historical recreation to studying the complicated ways in which the various Indian nations of the Iroquois, the rapidly growing numbers of white settlers, and the different governments of New York, the United States, and Great Britain all interacted and clashed during the late eighteenth century in the territory of the Six Nations of the Iroquois—the Mohawks, Oneidas, Tuscaroras, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas.
During the past thirty years or so the Indians have become increasingly central to early American historical scholarship, especially to the period of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Not that the Indians have been ignored by most historians, but most of the earlier historical studies were written from the white settlers' point of view and dealt with what Indian scholars now call the "policies and attitudes" of the whites toward the Indians. The Indians were important, but only for their part in the history of white society; indeed, the native peoples often became simply a means by which the advantages and deficiencies of white civilization could be measured. Some distinguished historians even ignored them altogether. Frederick Jackson Turner, in an essay on the early American West published in the first issue of the American Historical Review in…

ACA enrollment: Mayors hold the key
The road to Obamacare enrollment runs through City Hall.
The Obama administration is relying on friendly mayors to coordinate enrollment efforts, circumvent tricky state politics and put a local stamp on the vast federal law. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has stood alongside mayors in at least seven cities in the past three weeks as she has taken the sign-up message across the country and rubbed elbows with dozens of other mayors at a recent conference in Washington.
Story Continued Below
"We're the fourth-largest market in the United States," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said after bantering with Sebelius in the hallway at the January meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "A lot of uninsured and underinsured folks."
To allies, the strategy is a no-brainer. Cities are where the people are. Mayors know them best.
"Washington is about as popular as snow in July in most of these cities, any place, really," said Clarence Anthony, executive director of the National League of Cities. "The mayors are going to have a lot more impact in talking about [Obamacare] than people from Washington, including — and I hate to say this — the secretary or the president."
And the biggest cities tend to skew Democratic, making mayors in those cities natural allies to carry the Obama administration's message, even in more conservative states. The White House has also reached out to local media and state officials to get the message beyond the Beltway.
An HHS official said municipal leaders in 21 regions have been tapped to develop what they're calling "coordinating tables" — partnerships between elected officials, local advocates and national organizations, working to get people enrolled in Obamacare coverage by March 31, when the first year's sign-up season ends.
"This includes outreach to young parents through local schools, advertising on city and county buses, coordinated events with community colleges and more," the official said.
Although the administration didn't provide a list of the 21 areas, Sebelius's recent stops have included Kansas City, Cleveland, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Detroit, Tampa and Jersey City. They are cities with large concentrations of uninsured people in states that opted out of setting up their own health insurance exchanges, leaving it up to the feds. Republican governors or legislatures in these states have stood in the way and in many cases even put a damper on outreach.
The mayors in those cities — all Democratic except one (Kansas City's mayor, Sly James, is an independent) — are devoting city resources to outreach, ensuring that educational materials are available in public buildings such as libraries, hosting their own outreach events and promoting other initiatives to maximize coverage for their residents.
Sebelius took note.
In Tampa, she touted Mayor Bob Buckhorn's decision to let navigators, who help people enroll, operate in local recreation centers. In Cleveland, she pointed to Mayor Frank Jackson's partnership with United Way and other local groups to establish a 2-1-1 line for residents to call for enrollment assistance. Public libraries there, too, have in-person assisters on hand regularly. In Jersey City, she hailed Mayor Steven Fulop's outreach to college students and people who speak languages other than English.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), former mayor of Kansas City and one of two dozen former mayors in the House, called the administration's strategy a "brilliant" attempt to regain momentum.
"We lost control of the dialogue on the Affordable Care Act way back before the passage. We have not regained it," Cleaver said. "I think one way of doing this, of regaining the control, is to at least get the city populations to get a new look at the Affordable Care Act."
Cleaver added that by making a big production of Sebelius's visits, the administration ensures ample local news coverage of its message.
It also helps that the politics isn't as charged in the heartland.
Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), a former two-term mayor of Dayton, opposes Obamacare. Still he said he would have advocated for his constituents to access benefits, drawing on the trust that a mayor has in a community.
"I don't see the mayors wanting to stand up and try to change public opinion," he said. "I do see them as wanting to make certain that everybody who's able to get benefits under the law get it. It doesn't matter if you're for it or against it, you want your community to get the greatest benefit from it."
That's not always the case.
"I think it's a bad idea that's been implemented even worse," said Scott Smith, the Republican mayor of Mesa, Ariz., who's seeking the GOP nomination for governor of Arizona this year. Smith, who also chairs the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said he's not lifting a finger to help the feds on health care.
"It's their program. It's their exchange. It's their responsibility," he said.

Description of 46 Murray Boulevard, Charleston, SC 29401
This solid brick Colonial Revival double house on the Battery at 46 Murray Blvd. is known as the Dr. Robert Barnwell Rhett House. Situated on two lots in Charleston's premier South of Broad residential neighborhood, it boasts sweeping views of the Ashley River and some of the loveliest gardens on Murray Blvd. Completed in 1928, it incorporates 1830s woodwork secured from the Holmes Mansion at 19 East Battery, before that home was demolished. Notable exterior details include a columned demilune portico accessed by sweeping twin staircases and topped with a balustrade, fan lights both above the front door and in the pediment, 12-over-12 windows, and double side piazzas. The house is separated from the street by a brick and iron fence which features iron work by Philip Simmons. The gate is significant for having been wrought in one of his first heart designs. All iron work has been fully restored. A large side lawn overlooked by a porch is perfect for entertaining. Century-old majestic live oaks dominate the yard. There is ample off-street parking. Beautifully landscaped gardens lead back to an in-ground pool and pool pavilion with wet bar, half bath and outdoor shower.Inside, the grand entry hall is dominated by the reclaimed Federal hand-pierced woodwork that was installed without nails. It is flanked by formal living and dining rooms with views of the Battery and Ashley River. Each has a gas fireplace with faux coal insert and intricate Adams mantle. The substantial wainscoting, window molding and crown molding are also from the Holmes Mansion. An arched passageway from the living room leads to a half bath and handsome library/den to the back of the house. The dining room has built-in corner china cabinet and a door that opens to the Tuscan-columned, brick side porch. Hardwood floors flow throughout the living areas.The large kitchen features cork floors and a pressed tin ceiling. An eat-in area has built-in shelves to display your china and glassware. Black granite countertops provide plenty of prep space and the stainless steel appliances include a professional 6-burner gas stove with griddle, plus a wall oven and microwave. A back porch has been converted to sunroom off the kitchen and an office with a beautiful stained glass door insert. Both rooms boast views of the lush, tranquil garden. The original brick porch floor remains under the hardwoods.Upstairs are 3 bedrooms with en-suite full baths. The front bedroom has fireplace with a mantle taken from the same house as the downstairs woodwork. The master suite has commanding views of the Battery via access to a half-moon balcony off the front of the house. Its sitting room has a fireplace with a marble mantle and French doors that lead to the second-floor side piazza. The master bathroom has cork floors, a walk-in closet, a Jacuzzi tub in a mirrored alcove, and his and hers vanities with marble countertops. The stair landing hall has bookshelves and space for a second floor sitting room.The third floor features an oculus window that provides a birds-eye view of the back yard, garden and pool. A large room with a walk-in closet and full bath is the fourth bedroom. A laundry and storage room complete this level.The house sits on a raised basement that provides storage space. The furnished floor elevation is 11.2' and had no water during the last 3 floods.

The logo must be in Vector format (preferably made with AdobeIllustrator) and we ask to have the original .ai file with all thelayers as well.

Sunday Sweets: Fall Treats
You guys, the weather here in Florida is now a crisp, clean, [checking temperature] uh...84 degrees.
Yippee! Time to break out the sweaters!
Yep, we Floridians may be a thin-blooded lot, and our trees might stay green year-round, but that doesn't mean we don't love us some Autumn colors!
And pumpkins! Who doesn't love pumpkins?
How gorgeous is this? The Fairy Godmother herself couldn't ask for a finer specimen. Love the squiggle wires, too. (That's the correct technical term, right? "Squiggle wires?")
It goes against the grain to say it, but this next Sweet leaves me no choice: I think you'll find it's all bark and no bite.
By Cake Obsessed, aka Sweet Fix
Well, no bites yet, anyway. Pass the forks?
I'm seriously crushing on this anniversary cake:
Isn't that the perfect shade of green to go with those adorable little pumpkins?
It's no secret that orange is my favorite color - yet another reason why I love this time of year. It's also the perfect accent color! It only takes a little to add a lot of POP:
These colors = perfection.
You're not going to believe this, but the little pumpkins on this next Sweet are edible!
By Cake Central member Estasrica
Yes, really; they're fondant "frosted" with sugar! The cake itself is fondant-free and hand-piped. Just amazing.
This one goes on my "all-time favorite Sweets" list:
By Lilo Taart
Again, those colors are perfection. Warm, dramatic, cheerful: everything you could want from the season! Plus, if you've ever wondered how to pull off a short topsy-turvy cake, this is the gold standard right here. Great angles.
Ever wonder if fairy houses change with the season?
By Truong
You can almost see little wisps of smoke coming out of that chimney, can't you? And check out the perfect line shading on the steps and flowers by the door; it looks more like a 3D painting than a cake!
This couple met at a campfire, so they asked for one on their wedding cake:
And I bet you never thought a campfire could look this sweet!
By Cake Central member cupcakegirl22
Seriously. Those little flames? And logs that look like actual tree logs and not poo? I die. I die of cute.
It's easy to get caught up in the traditional Fall themes and designs, but there's plenty of room for some modern chic:
By MsGwinn
This autumn wedding cake features the sweetest lil' nuzzling blue birds and clean, bold lines. I like it!
And hold onto your hats, 'cuz this next Fall design is a real Drama Queen:
Oooh, love the reds and teals mixed in with the more traditional oranges and dark browns! Gorgeous!
And finally, let's end with a quintessential Fall beauty:
A bushel of apples, whimsically stacked tiers, perfect piping, delicate flowers...and all wrapped up with a raffia bow!
Just look at those details - right down to the "staples" holding the barrel together! And the piping! And the flowers! Totally swoon-worthy.
Oh, and I never pay much attention to the flavor details on Sweets, but this one was pumpkin cake with a caramel apple filling and cream cheese frosting. I don't even like cream cheese frosting, guys, and I'm totally drooling over here. Mmmm.
Hope this helped launch you into the Fall spirit, my friends! (And if you can't get enough, there are more here and here.)
Bakers, did you know you're allowed to nominate your own Sweets? In fact, we encourage it! So please, send your favorites to Sunday Sweets {at} Cake Wrecks {dot} com.
