Comic Book Shops: 3 Types Of Digital Marketing Games To Entice & Engage Customers
When operating a comic book store, there are constantly new releases to promote and get readers excited about. When selling printed materials like comic books, it's still important to engage your customers digitally for a better reach and daily presence in their life. As you plan out marketing strategies for your comic book store, you can work with a digital marketing services company to execute all types of different ideas. One way of engaging your customers is with digital marketing games. These games can improve interaction and help draw people directly to your store. Browse through three different games that a marketing team can help you create through a digital marketing plan. Each type of game can be reused through different promotions and really help your business stand out. Choose Your Hero One of the easiest ways to engage customers and encourage visits to your store is with percent off coupons. When setting up a texting or email marketing campaign, you can turn a coupon offering into a fun digital game. In a choose-your-hero marketing game, you can supply customers with a list of heroes to choose from. The hero that they choose will be associated with a specific coupon for the store. For example, you may send out a text that lists Batman, Robin, and Superman. If someone chooses Robin, they may receive a 10% off coupon, but if someone texts Batman, they may receive a 12% off coupon. A digital marketing company can help set up the automatic texts and coupon codes to use with your business. When using emails for this game, pictures of the heroes can link directly to coupons instead of just being text-based. Along with heroes, you can use villains or other types of comic book themes. Once the coupon is delivered, a person can visit your store for various purchases. Comic Book Guessing Game Social media is a great platform to share pictures and use images for digital marketing. Along with posting pictures of your business and new comic book arrivals, you can make a fun game out of it. When taking pictures, you can take an image of a portion of a comic book cover. You could also take an image of a whole comic book cover and blur it out. After posting it to social media, you can start a guessing game for people to name the correct cover. All of the people who correctly guess the comic book cover can be entered to win a gift certificate or the actual issue of the comic. These contests can be held on a weekly on monthly basis to help engage customers and give people something to look forward to playing each month. Let's Make a Deal Along with images of comics you have, you can engage with customers by seeing what types of items they have. Instead of offering basic discounts, you can grant specific deals to other comic book collectors through a "Let's Make a Deal" inspired game. Also known as a "Quickie Deal", audience members would get prizes for having specific items. Using digital marketing, you can offer discounts in the same fashion. For example, you can offer a 15% discount on Iron Man comic books for anyone who brings an Iron Man action figure to your store. You...read more
Mind Your Own Business! 3 Ways Custom Designed Software Can Help Your Small Business
Running a small business means you will face certain challenges. Not only is it difficult to run the race against the dynamics of larger corporations, it is also hard to find out-of-the-box software the meets the needs of your specific business needs. Fortunately, custom design software can help. As a small business owner, you likely have a smaller IT budget, which means you are wondering if custom software is right for you. Luckily, the three benefits listed below will help you decide. Tailored to the Needs of Your Business Out-of-the-box software does have benefits in terms of helping you build a foundation for your business. However, when it comes to fulfilling the niche demands of your business, standard software tends to fall short. Purchasing software that is specified to the needs of your business allows you to run your business smoothly and more efficiently. Thanks to custom designed software, you can more effectively meet the needs of both your customers and your employee. For example, you can purchase a custom software that provides fast, easy access to a database of customer information. Once you are finished managing your clientele base, another click can take you right over to employee management. In other words, with the help of custom software tailored to your business, you can avoid having to purchase multiple bundles of software. Saves Time and Money In truth, purchasing off-the-shelf software is far cheaper than custom software in the short-term. However, you can save yourself both time and money in the long-term with the help of custom software. Rather than having to purchase various software and programs, you can visit with a custom designer who can combine the benefits of various programs into one software package. In combining your software, it allows you to save money overall. Rather than having to click through multiple applications on your device, you can focus your time and effort on other areas of your business. In other words, you'll have more time to work on your productivity and better productivity means more money for you and your business. Furthermore, dealing with one software application rather than multiple applications allows you to save time when it matters most. When assisting customers, you need to be able to access the information you need quickly. On average, Americans spend approximately 37 billion hours waiting in line each year. While waiting in line, feelings of boredom and stress start to set in, which could be bad for business. Accessing all the information you need from one custom program allows you to save time and reduce wait times. Increases Competitive Advantage In a world of fast-paced corporate businesses, the only way for your small business to succeed is by increasing your competitive advantage. Fortunately, custom software can help you do just that. Since you will spend less time searching for information and accessing pertinent information, you can offer your customers a competitive advantage that other small businesses similar to yours may not have. Furthermore, keeping all of your information in one location limits resource waste. If you use multiple out-of-the-box software applications to run your business, that means you likely have your information stored in various locations. Customized software allows you to store all of your information in one place. Thanks to the reduced resource waste, you...read more
Five Hallmarks Of A Successful Telemarketer Or Call Center Representative
If you're contemplating a career as a cold caller or telemarketer, you may be wondering about specific requirements. While there may not be any higher educational requirements involved, most call center representatives and telemarketers do possess certain attributes that help them succeed. Note the following five hallmarks of a skilled telemarketer to determine if you have what it takes: 1. Clear Speaking Ability and Reading Skills Obviously, if you're working as a telemarketer in a call center, you'll be reaching out to customers and potential clients over the phone. Your speech will need to be clear and comprehensible. Call center reps convey information over the phone concisely and effectively. Successful telemarketers speak slowly without mumbling, and they don't use word spacers such as "um" or "uh". Their grammar and vocabulary skills are impeccable. They also possess excellent reading skills, as much of the time they will be required to study a written telephone speech. These written speeches may vary according to specific needs and products being offered. Telemarketers must also read telephone and zip code directories quickly, as there may be several hundred to go through during the course of the day. 2. Persuasive Phone Selling Skills While any job involving selling requires a degree of persuasiveness, telemarketers need to be especially persuasive, as they cannot rely on facial expressions and gestures to get their point across. Typically, call center representatives have a short time frame to convey their message and close the sale. Their tone and inflection can be persuasive, but what they say matters as well. To be persuasive, successful individuals may use certain "power words" in their conversation. Doing this right at the start may help build a rapport with the potential customer. Power words that seem to resonate with potential clients are "guaranteed", "proven", "results" and "solution". In addition, successful telemarketers use evocative speech that begins with a question. Rather than asking, "Would you like to try…?", the successful telemarketer may ask, "How do you feel about…?" to persuade the phone recipient to engage in conversation. This will buy the caller more time to make the pitch. Another way telemarketers are persuasive is by overcoming objections over the phone. Unlike face-to-face sales, being able to overcome an objection over the phone within seconds is crucial. For instance, if a potential customer says they don't want to switch to a new product or service, the successful telemarketer may inform the individual of a learning package or free instructional tool. The representative may also encourage questions, which is also part of being persuasive. 3. Insensitivity to Criticism (or Being "Thick-Skinned") Yes, this is a true hallmark of a successful telemarketer. To be successful doing cold calling or call center work, you have to be able to handle a fair amount of rudeness over the phone, or in some cases, downright verbal abuse. A good telemarketer will be able to let harsh words "roll off their backs" and move on to the next call without losing their confidence. 4. Technical Equipment Skills Telemarketers are not intimidated by modern technology, and will possess skills at using various types of equipment. Many call centers utilize the latest technology in telecommunications. This will include automatic dialing systems. In addition, telemarketers will need to complete orders in some type of database system....read more

Hi Auralie,
I put some sample photos of what I'm trying to do at
These are scaled down from the original size (I scanned them at 600dpi),
but it should give you an idea.
I'm trying to scan both the top/bottom (or front/back) of the leaves to
show any differences.
Let me know if seeing the images helps explain things or if it raises
more questions. :)

Referencing the color "blue" rather than the blues themselves, the duo of New York tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman and Joe Morris on acoustic guitar present free improvisations balancing technical and melodic musings, an intimate and thoughtful album of concentrative playing.
Perelman, Ivo / Joe Morris
Label: Leo
Released in: Great Britain
"Ivo says that it is not exactly a blues record. You won't hear any blues cliches or chord progressions. "It is a blue record because it has the feeling of the colour blue; the whole album is very intimate, and it has that blue feeling throughout. Much of the time it's a kind of introspection." Joe Morrris is known first and foremost as a bass player but BLUE is the first album Perelman has ever recorded in the format of a saxophone/guitar duo."-Leo
"Serial Music is integrative, in the sense that it deals with differences in such a way that the individual characters are maintained while at the same time a unity is achieved. The defining difference of serial from thematic music derives from the relationship of the elements: in thematic music, the elements do battle; here, they are elements in a continuum." (Grant, M.J. (2001) Serial Music, Serial Aesthetics, Cambridge: CUP, p.164)
"First and foremost the music on this album may have been influenced by Serialism, in the way that the works of Webern also influenced Derek Bailey, but the music itself is not Serialist. The strict system, which that implies, needs rigorous planning and a disciplined but creative compositional strategy, with the very essence of this being at odds with an improvisational approach. In this way, it is not the actual system but the sound of the music that has sparked Ivo Perelman's creativity as an improvising musician.
This album is about the colour Blue in all it's connotations and meanings, it's certainly not the 'Blues' in a structural sense (although there are melodic passages which hint at these stylistic traits) and as Perelman is also a very accomplished painter it seems that the blueness of the music is more fixed on the visual idea, whilst seeping over into more emotional responses. I very much like Perelman's visual art and the winding contrapuntal lines of the music seem to be an audible manifestation of his more drip-like Jackson Pollock inspired pieces. As an album of improvised duets between tenor saxophone (Ivo Perelman) and acoustic guitar (Joe Morris), this is the first time that Perelman has recorded with just these two instruments in an intimate setting, and one that he also had reservations about with regard to the viability of the project. However, he needn't have worried and the music on the album is a triumph, once listened to carefully and with respect for what the musicians are trying to achieve.
The title track starts the album and Perelman's sax, with Aylerish-vibrato at times, carries the foreground melody whilst Morris' guitar provides accompaniment mainly through freely atonal chordal voicing's with interspersed linking single lines. This piece sets the overall tone for the album, which the rest of the music carefully continues with great consistency, such is its serial aesthetic. The second piece 'Turtle Dance' reminds me of some of Perelman's 'taking a line for a walk' type paintings with the two complex lines of the sax and guitar criss-crossing over each other. This constructs a complex texture that appears more of a musical object, that we get to view at different angles, as opposed to a piece with an obvious structure that we follow on a journey through time. This is even more apparent on the shorter pieces such as 'Bluebird' and 'Instant' that come in at around the minute mark with their splashes of colour that also seem to have a clear parallel in the visual art of Perelman.
Out of the nine pieces that make up Blue one of my favourites is 'Wee Hours' a track that starts with a husky melody on the sax with a guitar accompaniment that is almost playing a blues turnaround. The piece gradually and consistently develops with the simple lines becoming increasingly more complex before a bluesy melodic line marks the end of the sax's input, with Morris' guitar coming to the fore for a timbral and structural contrast before Perelman's re-entry to bring the piece to a close. More 'bluesy' fragments are also on view (so to speak) in the piece 'Almost Blue' which is similar in it's overall form to 'Wee Hours', also having the feel of an abstracted ballad and containing this feeling in it's essence.
The nature of the instrumentation naturally gives the album an overall introspective and intimate feel and there is clearly a link between Perelman's thoughts as a painter as well as an improviser. As an inward-looking album, Blue doesn't necessarily come out and grab you and it may take a while to tune-in to the dynamics of the pieces. However, the playing is subtle, complex and heartfelt, whilst the title sways your listening bias to hear passages that seem to have developed out of the Blues, of which there are clear moments. Blue is a consistent set of complex musical interactions with unique forms having been influenced by a Serial aesthetic."-Chris Haines, Free Jazz Blog
• Show Bio for Joe Morris
"Joe Morris was born in New Haven, Connecticut on September 13, 1955. At the age of 12 he took lessons on the trumpet for one year. He started on guitar in 1969 at the age of 14. He played his first professional gig later that year. With the exception of a few lessons he is self-taught. The influence of Jimi Hendrix and other guitarists of that period led him to concentrate on learning to play the blues. Soon thereafter his sister gave him a copy of John Coltrane's OM, which inspired him to learn about Jazz and New Music. From age 15 to 17 he attended The Unschool, a student-run alternative high school near the campus of Yale University in downtown New Haven. Taking advantage of the open learning style of the school he spent most of his time day and night playing music with other students, listening to ethnic folk, blues, jazz, and classical music on record at the public library and attending the various concerts and recitals on the Yale campus. He worked to establish his own voice on guitar in a free jazz context from the age of 17. Drawing on the influence of Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cecil Taylor,Thelonius Monk, Ornette Coleman as well as the AACM, BAG, and the many European improvisers of the '70s. Later he would draw influence from traditional West African string music, Messian, Ives, Eric Dolphy, Jimmy Lyons, Steve McCall and Fred Hopkins. After high school he performed in rock bands, rehearsed in jazz bands and played totally improvised music with friends until 1975 when he moved to Boston.
Between 1975 and 1978 he was active on the Boston creative music scene as a soloist as well as in various groups from duos to large ensembles. He composed music for his first trio in 1977. In 1980 he traveled to Europe where he performed in Belgium and Holland. When he returned to Boston he helped to organize the Boston Improvisers Group (BIG) with other musicians. Over the next few years through various configurations BIG produced two festivals and many concerts. In 1981 he formed his own record company, Riti, and recorded his first LpWraparound with a trio featuring Sebastian Steinberg on bass and Laurence Cook on drums. Riti records released four more LPs and CDs before 1991. Also in 1981 he began what would be a six year collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist Lowell Davidson, performing with him in a trio and a duo. During the next few years in Boston he performed in groups which featured among others; Billy Bang, Andrew Cyrille, Peter Kowald, Joe McPhee, Malcolm Goldstein, Samm Bennett, Lawrence "Butch" Morris and Thurman Barker. Between 1987 and 1989 he lived in New York City where he performed at the Shuttle Theater, Club Chandelier, Visiones, Inroads, Greenwich House, etc. as well as performing with his trio at the first festival Tea and Comprovisation held at the Knitting Factory.
In 1989 he returned to Boston. Between 1989 and 1993 he performed and recorded with his electric trio Sweatshop and electric quartet Racket Club. In 1994 he became the first guitarist to lead his own session in the twenty year history of Black Saint/Soulnote Records with the trio recording Symbolic Gesture. Since 1994 he has recorded for the labels ECM, Hat Hut, Leo, Incus, Okka Disc, Homestead, About Time, Knitting Factory Works, No More Records, AUM Fidelity and OmniTone and Avant. He has toured throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe as a solo and as a leader of a trio and a quartet. Since 1993 he has recorded and/or performed with among others; Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Joe and Mat Maneri, Rob Brown, Raphe Malik, Ivo Pearlman, Borah Bergman, Andrea Parkins, Whit Dickey, Ken Vandermark, DKV Trio, Karen Borca, Eugene Chadborne, Susie Ibarra, Hession/Wilkinson/Fell, Roy Campbell Jr., John Butcher, Aaly Trio, Hamid Drake, Fully Celebrated Orchestra and others.
He began playing acoustic bass in 2000 and has since performed with cellist Daniel Levin, Whit Dickey and recorded with pianist Steve Lantner.
He has lectured and conducted workshops trroughout the US and Europe. He is a former member of the faculty of Tufts University Extension College and is currently on the faculty at New England Conservatory in the jazz and improvisation department. He was nominated as Best Guitarist of the year 1998 and 2002 at the New York Jazz Awards."-Joe Morris Website (http://www.joe-morris.com/biography.html)

And to sombody who said that "computers are designed to be usefull not secure" is the same as "computers are not meant to be secure" - i interprited that as "computers are made to be both usefull and secure". Anyway, how much is a computer that the user cant use because it is to tigthly locked up, worth? Why dont we remove tcp/ip altogether? Or simply the kernel? If the user cant boot it, then it is *really* secure. And make it forget all data that is saved to disk, just to make sure that it cant be read later by somebody evil? Security can go to far. I do not think security is a bad thing - i just think that it should not get in the way when it is not nesessary. Kyrre

But high-definition movies and music are really best enjoyed on a home theater system, with larger screen and powerful speakers. Now that HDTVs and wireless networking are commonplace an era of attached digital media players has begun, and the WD TV Live helps make the transition easy.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Cichlids (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/cichlids/)
- - Chromide Confusion (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/cichlids/chromide-confusion-71517/)
Chromide Confusion
Ok, so many sites that I have read have stated that orange chromides are brakish water fish, and should only be kept in brackish water tanks or temperarelley kept in fresh and then kept in brackish conditions.
Some sites say they can be kept in fresh water just fine , or in fresh water with some salt added.
And then there are others that state that both the orange and green chromides are found in both brackish and fresh water in the wild.
so which information is right?
I have Orange Chromides, and I have only kept them in Brackish. Most of what I have read, says they are Brackish fish. I do not know, how long they would survive in fresh water.
I have read of people keeping them in fresh water, and said the fish became a very pail orange, till moved into Brackish.
I agree. From my understanding from a biologist, this fish mainly lives in coastal brackish waters in Asia, and may enter freshwater from time to time but if maintained in a freshwater aquarium will usually develop health issues and lack colour.

Put a hiking boot on a strict diet and you'll get something like the FC Eco 2.0 GTX, from La Sportiva. Though lightweight and low-cut, it feels as sturdy as a backpacking clomper: The stiff Vibram sole (30 percent scrap rubber) is perfect for sharp scree and rock scrambling, and the upperGore-Tex-lined waterproof nubuck leather and recycled nylonstood up to both muck and rough-trail abrasion. 16.8 oz; $140; sportiva.com

Flying Note Records reissues with new artwork multi-instrumentalist Kali Fasteau's 1993 impressive world jazz release with Willliam Parker, Ronnie Burrage, Ron McBee, &c.
Fasteau, Kali. Z.
Prophecy: The Whale And The Elephant Trade Notes On The State Of The World
Label: Flying Note
Released in: USA
"An amazing presentation of Kali's unique World Jazz expressed through myriad timbres, textures and instruments. Here she plays soprano saxophone, cello, piano, synthesizer, voice, sheng, nai, kaval, moursin, drum set and timpani. Marvel at the beautiful sounds and concepts of Kali's invention in ensembles featuring seven excellent collaborators: William Parker, Newman Taylor Baker, Badal Roy, Ronnie Burrage, Ron McBee, Somell Richards, and Oscar Brown III. She adds four compositions in which she multi-tracks different combinations of mizmars, cellos, nai, sanza, soprano sax, piano, cello, drum set, shakuhachi, gong, and voices. One of the special qualities of this CD is the way these compositions segue so beautifully from one to the next creating a sublime suite of multi-dimensional music.
This CD charted #1 for 7 straight weeks on college radio upon its debut release in 1993."-Flying Note
William Parker wrote in the liner notes: "The music on this CD encompasses sounds from all over the world, yet there are no boundaries that separate the sound. For me this is the key that unlocks the beauty of the universe."
Kelvin Leander Williams wrote: "The key concepts defining this disc are continuity and contrast....Her improvs on soprano sax and flutes are delivered with a sense of purpose similar to Coltrane, and her themes (check out Lunar Wisdom and Monsoon) have a powerful spiritual urgency. And as is fitting for a musician using primordial sounds and microtonality in the service of the contemporary, Kali is no purist. While this music cultivates pristine acoustic timbres on cuts like Inner Ear and Curved Space, Kali multitracks all the instruments, displaying a superb ability to capture the moment with up-to-date technology. Given these strengths, the existence of so many wondrous new (to American ears) instrumental textures enhances the CD's format. It is both Kali's skill as a composer/producer and the remarkable telepathy between the musicians that make the connections on PROPHECY silvery smooth."

"The first thing we need to do is buy a couple of good knives," Camilla tells me after I've contacted her for some cooking lessons for my daughters, ages 12 and 9. As a fine artist, I should know this, and Camilla—who accompanied me on the knife errand—was right: good tools are fundamental (even though the tools Camilla uses are scarier). Then there's the important issue of learning how to use them, which Camilla brilliantly, patiently tackled with my excited, novice chefs over the course of three two+-hour, semi-private lessons (there were three girls in the class). An exceptional teacher, Camilla possesses a sunny passion about food, which is downright contagious. I'd hoped my girls would acquire some basic skills in the kitchen—and they weren't the only ones to benefit: I finally learned about good knives and how to chop properly—and as they made their way through Camilla's inventive, delicious recipes (at the end of each session, I got to taste what they'd made), it became apparent they were gaining so much more. In addition to being enriched with skills and creative ideas, my girls were empowered by the experience. I know we will look back on Camilla's cooking classes as a turning point opportunity. Camilla will remain a key point of reference for our family as my young chefs branch out into the wonderful, flavorful world ahead them.

I won't try to claim that a show like Fate/Stay Night, or some of those other series are produced solely for the purpose of figure sales. BUT I will try to make the argument that Black Rock Shooter was. I am pretty sure Good Smile Company owns a large portion of the rights to BRS. Anything that contains Black Rock Shooter or any of its derivative characters will have a copyright to Good Smile Company, if it doesn't already have them as a producer. To my knowledge, the majority of the money put forward for the OVA was done by GSC. Also, in the commentary on the DVD, Joe Hahn (of Linkin Park) talks about being contacted, not by Huke or Ryo or anyone from Ordet, but by people from GSC.

Interesting question/answer regarding the figure/merchandise-type support. I initially justified buying my Natsume Yuujinchou figure with the sad realization that, though I thought it was a fantastic show, it seems I'll never be able to buy it on DVD here. Similarly, I'm buying some Jojo's Bizarre Adventure figures for story arcs that were never licensed in English because frankly if I like Jojo's enough to seek out/read free scanalations online then I also like it enough to put that money (which would otherwise go towards manga) into some fabulous plastic man-candy instead. So it's cool to hear someone reinforce my personal belief that fansubs/-scans are not a completely black & white issue and even if someone's not importing the raw Japanese materials that they're consuming courtesy of such methods, they are not automatically a bad fan. If someone makes an effort to support what they love in whatever way they can, they're cool with me.
Heck, lately I even find myself buying figures for shows I haven't seen. I never got past ep.03 of Hakuouki in fansubs (eh, maybe someday I'll try again) but I'll be damned if I didn't end up preordering all 3 upcoming figures just because they're so gorgeous. That's over $300 of merch for a show that couldn't even get me to the end of one average DVD's worth of content; I'm totally content that my fansub viewing of the show (should I ever choose to finish it) has been more than karmically balanced at this point.
Edit: Also, yes, 30 degrees F is practically balmy, dude! Of course come summer, once the temp here creeps over ~95 we all wilt ("It's not the heat it's the insane humidity", etc.)

I had to chuckle at Brian complaining about the cold. I'm originally from Minnesota. The average temperature in January where I was at was a sweltering 8°F, with the average high being 19°F and the average low being -2°F. Also, what makes it even more amusing is that Tucson on average has 17 days per year where they get below 32°F. Where I grew up, we averaged 43 days per year...below 0°F. Of course, our average July temp is 72°F while yours is 87°F, but it's not like we don't have plenty of hot days. (I know you were joking with the Minneapolis thing, I just felt like looking up the difference in weather between the two.)
My eyes mostly glazed over scanning over some of the responses to the last question, since for every good fansubber, there are a dozen lousy ones, so the point is largely moot. This week's question kind of made me realize just how out of hand my collection has gotten. I used to rewatch my DVDs a lot. Now with over 1600 of them, and with 200+ still unwatched, rewatching is a luxury I can't afford at the current. I still like knowing that if I want to though, the option is there.

Dude, buck up!
Yesterday when DSC discussed our predicted HIGH of 50, they pointed out any number of cities across the eastern half of this nation would kill for that.
Hang in there. Couple days & you'll be back to weather to make those back east dudes envy you. I find Arizonans (Arizonians?)insane. It gets HOT over there. You come to San Diego & laugh at us when we complain about a streak of weather near & over 100 & envy our humidity.
The problem with figures is the local shops up the prices to make their profit sometimes to ridiculous levels & they don't help the US industry which is part of the whole fansub argument. People whine about the lack of dubs as their excuse to not buy US dvds, but that they support the industry buying merchandise which (so long as it's not bootleg) mostly are imported from Japan. I would think the "credit" for the sale goes to the shop each particular US dealer is buying from vs Bandai or Funi sales numbers which do result in more titles getting licensed in the US so it's sort of wasted. I assume the dealers who bring the Seiya dolls to Comic-con every year do so because they make a certain number of sales there, but obviously the sales of those dolls here in the US hasn't led to Seiya getting a license. Same for Black Butler-presumably Funi licensed it with an eye to the number of dvds they can sell & less how many figures US fans will buy from Japan.
No that I'm going to stop buying figures, but I do have a greater eye on supporting the US anime companies

Oh pleaz, the last time I was on Scottsdale, AZ years ago, it was 40F - and I still went outside in the heated jacuzzi!
Agh, for a moment there, I thought he was gonna say AnimEigo - a company that actually shut down anime production for all intents and purposes!
But when he said ADV Films (which is practically just reincarnated Section23 Films), that's when I question his state of mind!

I agree that "learning more Japanese" is the only answer, but it's not that easy. My daughter majored in Japanese at the University of Washington in Seattle, then spent two years in a little town in Kyushu helping teach English where -only- the other teachers spoke English. (Even the kids they were teaching didn't -speak- it.) At the end of that she could talk to anyone just fine, but still couldn't keep up with movie dialog. People will slow down or use a different word if it's one you don't know but the movie (and anime) won't.

LOL! I'm so glad I'm not the only person that read this person's reply and enjoyed the delicious, crunchy irony of the massive amount of simple typos that any spell checker would catch in a response complaining about quality checking of subs. Made my morning!

The first question was a good one- I have a friend who buys a lot of figurines of show's they watched via streams [CrunchyRoll/Funi streams seem to have appeased a lot of the figure fans I know- they let them collect the figs for shows they like while not dealing with the shadier sides- I wonder if that's why we see so many bishoujo anime getting streamed legally? Advertising for the figs and revenue for the anime?]. Not every show gets that kind of merch, but it does show a part of the market that gets forgotten in brainhurty debates sometimes [mind you, it still don't think that some people buying toys makes all piracy okay- I think Brian mostly meant "yes, buying figs supports anime companies"].
I'm kind of surprised Toynami and other domestic licensors haven't gotten into it too much though. VIZ and Funimation dipped their hands into it for brief periods with a Ranma statue line around 2000, and a few statues and plastic figs out of FUni, and Dark Horse has produced statues based on their manga line [Dirty Pair and Gunsmith Cats] from time to time, but domestic companies have never really taken off with it. The import market is huge, so that's part of it, but you figure there'd be a market for shows that are still superhot/perenialls here that are long over in Japan, in terms of limited edition, 50-200 dollar statues. Though maybe it's only worth it with the occasional big license domestically, and just help import Japanese items otherwise.
Avoiding bootlegs is a big issue though- there's a lot of wierd, China-based anime stores selling everything for super cheap, and when shopping online it's hard to tell the difference. Lots of folks have opened their boxes just to get a wierd, slightly mishappen figure missing a few parts [wasn't there an Astro Toy with a Luffy like this?]. Though a lot of the bigger dvd online retailers also stock tons of figures, so I guess it's a matter of sticking to reliable sources.
EDIT- Found it!- animenewsnetwork.com/astro-toy/2009-03-01/with-rob-bricken/portrait-of-pirates-luffy
[I'm also really glad for Great Eastern- they make avoiding bootlegged plushies really easy]
[yes, UFO Catchers are my merchandising crack]
Didn't Black Rock Shooter's figs all come with a copy of the OVA on dvd/bluray with subs? I wonder if we'll see more of that in the future.
Re- the list question- I guess that explains why so many people horde anime dvd's like that column Mike had awhile back. But yeah, it's important not to get worked up about seeing Show X or playing Game Y- if you come across it for a good price, great, if you have to wait, well, enjoy what you find in the meantime and get around to it when you do find it in the future. I just got a copy of Otaku no Video a few months ago, and it had been on my list for several years.
edit- mike's column- animenewsnetwork.com/the-mike-toole-show/2011-01-16
edit- also, lol! at the last question. I wish I'd studied more japanese. I know enough to read kids manga and 1/4 understand what's going on, but that's about it. Though yeah, if you study/practice enough, you'd be able to just sit back and enjoy right off the tv with little confusion.
editedit- also VIZ songs- I know on lots of older releases, they have subbed songs. I'm vaguely remembering that it might of been some kind of rights issues (*eddddiiiit* looks like Brian confirmed that) that led them to switch to unsubbed songs on some releases- I know my sortofrecent Hunter X Hunter dvd's have song subs, but just 1 subtitle track, so if you watch it dubbed, you don't get song subs. And the TV airings of DeathNote and Naruto we got here had song subtitles.
pps- my only issue with honorifics is when they're kept on titles for shows/manga series not set in Japan. Seriously, I'm looking at you Pandora Hearts's creators series- did England survive an apocalypse and get repopulated by people who only had a box of anime dvd's for entertainment? Is Manga UK to blame?

About lists, I love them too. I make lists for everything, from lengthy forum posts to the anime I'm currently watching. The best thing about a list is that they're not set in stone, either: I can remove things and add things at will.
So, for List Reader, I'd say that lists should be used more as a guideline than anything. For example, I have a manga wish list, full of series I eventually want to read. Am I going to get to them all? Of course not. But I do keep adding things to that list just so I have a place to organize them all. And eventually I'll pick some of them up and read them. But that doesn't keep me from enjoying manga that isn't on my wish list. So while lists are awesome and all, they're not something that you must follow to the letter.
As for weather. . . well, we just got hit by that 'monster snowstorm', which only dumped a few inches on us but hit many other Midwestern areas really hard and did manage to close all of the schools in the area. And it hasn't gotten that far above 25 degrees in the last week (you know something's depressing when the weather man says, "highs in the low 20s". ) so this is turning out to be a painfully cold and snowy winter.
Basically, buck up, man. I would kill to be where you are.

I loved the look on the faces of a group of equatorial Africans I was giving a tour of our studios with, when we stepped outside into a snow squall last December.
@ High Schooler with list:
Try this list:
1.) Enjoy your youth, but......
2.)Study hard in school. (anime is only entertainment)
3.) Graduate with high marks. (anime is only entertainment)
4.) Optionally enroll in the university of your choice. (anime is only entertainment.)
5.)Get a good paying job that supports not only your life's goals, but also your interests and entertainment.
Worked for me.
@ Baka boy in Japan:
Yeah, learn more Japanese. Job done.

Last week, I woke up one morning and the temperature outside was -24°C (-11°F); -34°C (-29°F) with the windchill factor. And Ottawa being a humid city, the cold cuts right through your clothes. Now imagine taking the bus in that weather.
Anyways, great column as usual.

A considerable number of shops do not buy figures from the manufacturer directly, but through a wholesaler, who then sells to the retailers who want to take on lower stock and still pay less than SRP.
The markup of a figure is rarely over 40% between production and retailer, which is $40 per $100.
Where the true markup begins, rightfully so, is when the production is limited and only a certain number of figures are created. This creates a limited supply with a potentially high demand, and figure prices will easily raise within shops in Japan to make up for the economic rule.
Bullshit. These "fansub arguments" have always been about giving money back to the "artist" and rarely discuss the differences between the markets.
Regardless, there's still one huge problem: when a distributor decides it only wants to distribute the content, it's pretty damn difficult to cry for them when they're suffering financial issues because they only sell one goddamn product.
Most retailers will purchase anime goods through AAA Anime, not FUNimation, ADV (ret), Section23, Sentai Filmworks, or even Viz.
Only Bandai licenses merchandise in the US (FUNimation has a Mallow line somewhere, but I'll be damned if I've seen anything come from it).
The fact AAA Anime filled a niche when other distributors did not is more telling than the entire fansub debate.
I've always stated merchandise makes up for the revenues of anime production and I'll stand by this until I'm dead.
Rarely has DVD sales outperformed merchandising sales, which you can blame George Lucas for.
He started it.

Nope, most companies license merchandise for series which it is in demand for. You must of missed out on a lot of the merch that's been popping up lately. Bandai's far from the only one licensing stuff.
A lot of the legit anime merchandise available from retailers is from companies like Great Eastern, http://www.geanimation.com/
That's why my FLCL Haruko has the SynchPoint logo on it, why my Yuyu Hakusho toys say "licensed by Funimation", why DBZ merch is up the wazoo, and why everything GE releases is based off series which have DVD or TV releases here. Funi seems to know which series has preexisting demand, as Black Butler and Hetalia merch are coming out in an onslaught alongside or before the dvd's, rather then after them.
Media Blasters and RightStuf have also made merchandise for their series, sometimes with GE, sometimes by themselves. RightStuf makes a lot of t-shirts. VIZ has also workked with http://toynami.com/
I'm curious if MB is getting into merch more given the previews of Zetsubou merch up on the GE animation site http://www.geanimation.com/

If we're talking about translation quality, this is probably worth bringing up. It's about manga rather than anime translations, but many of the issues are the same (except that natural-sounding dialogue is more important with dubs).

Answerman - Whatever Happened to Anime Cameos?
Back in the 80s, comedy anime characters would make cameo appearances in other anime all the time - why doesn't that happen anymore? Justin explains. ― Phoenix asks: Whatever happened to anime cameos? I feel like in the 80s and 90s they were relatively abundant.
