I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.

Diversity and ecological distribution of macrofungi in the Laojun Mountain region, southwestern China

Surveys of the macrofungi associated with eight different vegetation types in the Laojun Mountain region of southwestern China yielded approximately 520 species belonging to 175 genera. Species richness and diversity were highest in mixed conifer and broadleaf forests and deciduous broadleaf forests. In typical forests of temperate regions of the world, there are five dominant genera of ectomycorrhizal macrofungi. The distribution patterns of species in these genera for the different vegetation types indicate that they are able to associate with a wide variety of different trees. Analysis of data for common macrofungal species and taxonomic similarity of the communities present in the eight vegetation types suggest that the greater the differences in the plant species that comprise the vegetation, the less similar are the common macrofungal species associated with the most common host plants. These same data also show that some species of macrofungi occur only in one or two vegetation types. There were 156 species of edible fungi recorded from the different vegetation types, and these fungi appear to be abundant in the Laojun Mountain region. At different positions along the elevation gradient, positive correlations existed with respect to the relationship between species richness and diversity, and the general trend was for macrofungal species richness and diversity to decrease with increasing elevation, with the numbers of species recorded being significantly lower at the very highest elevation. The relative dominance of certain taxa in the assemblage of species present was found to increase with increasing elevation, and variation in the evenness component of diversity was slight. As such, the differences in dominance and evenness were also not significant (P > 0.05). Macrofungal species richness was slightly more diverse on shaded slopes than on more exposed (sunny) slopes, and the differences in species diversity, dominance and evenness were relatively minor. This suggests that slope aspect may only weakly influence the distribution of macrofungal species in the Laojun Mountain region.

What's so special about being American? What did we do to deserve all this recognition? Why does everyone want to be something American, yet hate Americans at the same time?
We all learn about this so-called 'American Dream' and it's supposed to inspire us, to tell us that even if our parents are Cuban refugees fishing off the coast of Florida to pay for our school uniforms, we can still get straight A's and a full ride to Duke University to play tennis, graduate with a degree in International Business, and become the next CEO of Coca-Cola. And in theory, I guess that all works out. But it's not necessarily unique anymore. Most modern, developed countries can claim the same today.
You can ask me to go to the magazine vendor's any day of the week in any city in Germany and I can promise you with absolute certainty that I will find at least one magazine and newspaper headline that involves America. And more often than not, it's negative. And I'm sure it's not only Germany. Ask any exchange student, they will probably say the same thing about their host country. Why do they dislike us? Or what is maybe a more important question - why and how do we attract such negative attention? Why is it so interesting to the foreign reader? If I go to the mall, I will see American flag pants, American flag purses, American flag scarves, even American flag silverware. If I turn on the radio, chances are the song playing is sung by an American artist. Why? Why are we everywhere?
We just somehow don't fit in. Why is that? And why does everyone care?
One of our stereotypes as Americans is that we think we are the best, and that we have a right to everything. I mean, that's not entirely true. But think about our name for a second:
The United States of America.
When I call myself an American, that makes absolutely no sense. Technically, any piece of land spanning from the most northern tip of Canada to the most southern point of Chile is in America. And most of these countries have states that are, in fact, united. So this name makes us sound like we're the only country in the Americas. And that is so stupid. But what else would we call it? What else would I call myself?**
I mean, we're just one big salad bowl (shout out to pointless political correctness) of an ambiguous oxymoron. And I'm sitting here at my desk super late on a Friday night, and I just realized... I think this is why I was sent here. Here, no one cares that I'm the daughter of Bill and Kate, that I can't decide whether my favorite color is blue or orange, or that my dog has a middle name. They want to know where I come from, what kind of accent I have, why I'm here. I am an American, and it's a huge part of my identity. And to have others accept me as I am, I need to accept myself. To accept myself, I need to know who I am. And to know who I am, I need to iron out what being an American is. So, once I answer why we are so special, I think I'll be able to complete my 'mission', so to say. By understanding, we can be understood.
**I propose, we all change our country name to Washington. The United States of Washington. We'd just have to change Washington State's name (how about to a name of one of their biggest Native-American tribes?). Washington DC fits, just because it's the capital. We'd all then be Washingtonians and that sounds so much cooler. Plus, he is widely considered the greatest president and he was the first who helped create the nation, so we owe him a lot.

Description: Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to the post-World War II years. With their broad canvas and large cast of fictional and historical characters, the novels in this series present a panorama of the American political and imperial experience as interpreted by one of its most worldly, knowing, and ironic observers. To most Americans, Abraham Lincoln is a monolithic figure, the Great Emancipator and Savior of the Union, beloved by all. In Gore Vidal's Lincoln we meet Lincoln the man and Lincoln the political animal, the president who entered a besieged capital where most of the population supported the South and where even those favoring the Union had serious doubts that the man from Illinois could save it. Far from steadfast in his abhorrence of slavery, Lincoln agonizes over the best course of action and comes to his great decision only when all else seems to fail. As the Civil War ravages his nation, Lincoln must face deep personal turmoil, the loss of his dearest son, and the harangues of a wife seen as a traitor for her Southern connections. Brilliantly conceived, masterfully executed, Gore Vidal's Lincoln allows the man to breathe again.

Gore Vidal was born Eugene Luther Gore Vidal Jr. on October 3, 1925 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. He did not go to college but attended St. Albans School in Washington and graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire in 1943. He enlisted in the Army, where he became first mate on a freight supply ship in the Aleutian Islands. His first novel, Williwaw, was published in 1946 when he was twenty-one years old and working as an associate editor at the publishing company E. P. Dutton. The City and the Pillar was about a handsome, athletic young Virginia man who gradually discovers that he is homosexual, which caused controversy in the publishing world. The New York Times refused to advertise the novel and gave a negative review of it and future novels. He had such trouble getting subsequent novels reviewed that he turned to writing mysteries under the pseudonym Edgar Box and then gave up novel-writing altogether for a time. Once he moved to Hollywood, he wrote television dramas, screenplays, and plays. His films included I Accuse, Suddenly Last Summer with Tennessee Williams, Is Paris Burning? with Francis Ford Coppola, and Ben-Hur. His most successful play was The Best Man, which he also adapted into a film. He started writing novels again in the 1960's including Julian, Washington, D.C., Myra Breckenridge, Burr, Myron, 1876, Lincoln, Hollywood, Live From Golgotha: The Gospel According to Gore Vidal, and The Golden Age. He also published two collections of essays entitled The Second American Revolution, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism in 1982 and United States: Essays 1952-1992. In 2009, he received the National Book Awards lifetime achievement award. He died from complications of pneumonia on July 31, 2012 at the age of 86.

Slayers Revolution {4th Season}
FUNimation have now announced the license for Slayers Revolution. Previously we had received a C&D from FUNimation Entertainment (acting on the behalf of the Japanese IP owners, Enoki Films) so we didn't list fansubs here on AnimeSuki
Since the show is licensed, the following posts are not allowed in this thread.
You still are allowed to discuss the anime, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story. End of edit by Mod (xris)
According to this Japanese blog, Slayers will be getting a new TV anime adaptation.
The anime was announced in the April 2008 issue of the young men's light novel magazine Dragon Magazine (which will be officially released on 29/2/2008).
Slayers (スレイヤーズ) is a boy's light novel series that's published under the shounen light novel label Fujimi Fantasia Bunko, and serialized in the young men's light novel magazine Dragon Magazine.
Slayers wiki entry:
There is a rumour saying that there will be a new anime adaptation of The Slayers.
Can someone please provide solid evidence and confirmation?
I couldn't wait to see.. (The same thing should go for Slayers' lovers.)
I really hope it ends up being true.
I would like to question the trustworthiness of the Japanese Blog though..
No offense, I just hate being told, " There will be one coming soon.. " and years later, nothing happens.
As much as I love the Slayers, it's a classic 90s show and I wonder how the younger generation will find it?
New Slayers series, we've been told of season 4 ever since Try finished, but has yet to materialise. If it did materialise though, would be great!
How much material is left to animate btw?
:O Oooh Gourry getting another sword? Wow..
I wish Tokyopop would hurry with those Light Novels. I want more Lina and Gourry~
Isn't this the day (Friday) we will get to know if the rumour is true?
So, how did things turn out to be?
Hm..my theory is that Memorial was a foreshadowing for the announcement new series. xD
Oooh can't wait~ I hope the rumor is true! Megumi must be in the series~
I wouldn't worry about Megumi Hayashibara really. She was willing to sing for the 10 year memorial just last year, she is still decently busy (though not as insanely much as in the 90's), and Lina Inverse as a character has plenty of legs.
As for the plot itself, I hope it's a mixture of the original and the canon novel plotline.
Either way, this is basically the best anime announcement I've ever heard really. I'm anxious for the teaser/trailer now.
This is probably the best news for me on anime (I've been in love with Slayers since age 4 hehe), i just saw the official announcement today on DRAGON-MAGAZINE feb 29 edition.
It was annouced the novel スレイヤーズ will be made into animation again, however it didn't say if it is remake or new story line. But nevertheless!!!! This is probably the best thing happened after the latest Octopus OVA hehe.. Lina's voice will still be Megumi :D:D
I'll SO make sure to be doing that ^_^
Season 4 or another movie?
Woot~ Animenewsnetwork tv said that there's going to be a new 26 episode season~ X3
Well that certain is to my liking, season 4!!! Though i'm hoping for it to be more like season 1 and 2. 3 is in the shade comparing to the first two. However the premium that came in the end was quite fun... Lina Inverse's coming back!!!:p:p
Well right now it's unconfirmed if the original gang will come back. I hope they will. *-*
New Slayers sounds great, but I'm not going to jump for joy until everythings official.

Recently, UCP's Supported Employment division (Employment Solutions) helped one of their customers, David, secure a job working at the nearby Thatcher's Restaurant & Lounge!
David is a good example of a person who was capable of working but who was unsure of what he might do for work. For many years, he used UCP's community inclusion services. But he was also interested in paid employment.
Ursula Morton (one of UCP's Employment Specialists) met with David weekly for three months. She engaged him in community work experiences so that she could get to know his skills and abilities, and so that he could learn more about the work world.
After that, Ursula was able to build an appealing resume, highlighting the skills David had acquired at his community-based positions.
And, a mere 10 days later, Ursula was assisting David to sign his hire paperwork at Thatcher's! Congrats to David and everyone who worked to get him this job.

Study Finds In-store WiFi Boosts Customer Loyalty
28% of retailers report increase following deployment
From cafes to airports, rarely are tech-savvy consumers without access to a WiFI network for their laptop or smartphone.
And for retailers, offering free internet access not only fosters a more convenient shopping experience, but can actually increase customer loyalty, according to a study conducted by EarthLink Holdings Corp., in partnership with research consultants IHL Group and WiFi solutions provider AirTight Networks.
According to the findings, 82 percent of large- to medium-size retailers have already deployed in-store Wifi, 27.5 percent of which reported increased customer loyalty following its deployment.
"Research findings show that retail has the necessary infrastructure in place and is poised for growth around multichannel engagement using in-store WiFi," said Kevin McCauley, director of retail market development, AirTight Networks. Accordingly, the study found that 34 percent of retailer participants will update their store-level WiFi technologies in 2015.
Following complete analysis of the findings, the companies will release a benchmarking tool to enable retailers to learn best practices and develop a technology roadmap for their in-store systems.
"Our goal with this study is to establish actionable benchmark numbers that help retail IT executives compare the state of their store technology against others in the industry," said Greg Buzek, IHL. "As many plan to invest in technologies … to keep customers loyal while protecting their data, it's important to understand the benefits and challenges others have already experienced."

Thank the maker that it's only going to be 4 episodes long, if the previous information is correct.
That probably means they won't just slap together the same story we already saw and a different ending (though that probably would still sell, I know)...at the very least, they'll keep the essentials but will have to change a few things and add new details if they want to make it work in such a short time, and that's IMHO very good.

To tell the truth I'm not very excited about this OVA even though KgNE is my favorite anime right now. I've learned to accept the current ending so I'm afraid that I will instinctively hate plot deviations. But after all, this will be the ultimate test for me of some sorts.

Actually, I didn't like Mizuki at all ... So I'm really looking forward to this OVA.. I hope that's not such a lame thing as Akane was ...
In my opinion KGNE was great.. and there are a lot of endings in the game. That's why I don't think some variations aren't that bad. It's made as an OVA, so what's wrong ? If you don't like it, don't watch it. Easy, ne ?
That's stated on Animenfo:

Hummm, looks pretty interesting. Provided my memory serves me right, Haruka's hair was long only after coming out of the hospital. So can we assume the anime is going to do a different take on what happens after Haruka leaves the hospital ? Quite a lot of Takayuki / Haruka focus in there and next to none Mitsuki. .. makes me wonder whether the accident is actually going to come down in a different manner.

Can't believe it's almost here...seemed like ages when it was first announced.
Not really digging the new style that the OVA has though. Some of the faces look strange, and Takayuki and Shinji somehow became 2x uglier. At least Haruka still looks decent.
Speaking of which, did anyone else think Haruka was about to throw herself onto the train tracks in the beginning of the trailer?

Kiminozo will always remain my depressing break-up anime (and I don't watch much anime at all) - I usually watch it when I experience heartbreak and as luck would have it that situation has occurred again just as this OVA is upon us. So expect lengthy posts and needlessly elaborate analysis.
With regards to the traiiler, anyone get the impression that he'll end up with Mitsuki again? The memories of her at the aquarium, Haruka looking depressed and disappointed after getting off the train (maybe she thinks he still loves her or something equally as troublesome...). I think the anime may start anywhere from the point at which Haruka woke up to the end/beach scene of the original. You'll notice that Mitsuki has the short hair... So I think Mitsuki and Takayuki will have already had a relationship and that'll be the main cause of drama within the OVA. Whether Haruka knows about it or not will probably be a big issue. I think there's a lot of tension to be had out of her being ignorant of it, and I don't think the writers would pass up that opportunity.
Anticipation reaching fever pitch!

Anyone mind telling me what episode in the TV series does the accident occur? All I need is a number. I'll be starting KGNE after I've finished DC (which I'll finish when I go home for the holidays).

are the dates of airing, I'm going to be anticipating those eps so much and time is gonna be going so slow :<. Well gonna love watching Harukas end and well I'm glad that both girls get a happy ending in a way tho Haruka was my favourite. It's funny to that once most of us who were displeased and got to terms with the Mitsuki ending get all of a sudden the ending they want.

I was sad (I even cried for once) when I saw the original Mitsuki ending since Haruka has always been and still is my favorite. But really, to bring the Haruka end was a brillant idea to keep the title alive and well as much as Haruka's character marked a lot of anime fans. I guess I'll shed tears of joy when I'll watch the show.

I'm super excited for this, as well, since I'm also a big Haruka fan. I was actually upset when I watched the show with my friend and he was like, "Yes, a happy ending!". I had to refrain from getting into an argument, but I knew he didn't care for Haruka anyway (so I kept my mouth shut).
I think I'll be watching this alternate ending by myself.

Polish politicians to go through military training due to 'turbulent times'
Poland's parliament speaker says that politicians will be given a chance to go through military training because "turbulent times" require it.
Poles are worried about the conflict in eastern Ukraine that involves Poland's neighbours, Ukraine and Russia.
Radek Sikorski said he and defence minister Tomasz Siemoniak decided to make an army test range available, possibly in May, to politicians who want military training.
Mr Sikorski wants it to be a sign for young Poles that "times have come that may require a readiness to defend the country".
Mr Siemoniak recently encouraged Poles between the ages of 18 and 50 to undergo voluntary training. Poland's professional army has some 85,000 officers and troops and another 20,000 reservists.

Burl Audio's B16 Mothership brings the class and quality of the B80 Mothership to a smaller 2U, 2-card format. Compatible with the same I/O cards as the signature B80, the B16 is a perfect way to add outstanding conversion to various setups. With Burl's commitment to class-A analog circuits, the Mothership series bridges the gap between the sound of analog and flexibility of digital formats.
While a common setup might be configured for four inputs and eight outputs, there of course are other options. Two BAD4 ADC cards could turn the B16 Mothership into an impeccable 8-input interface. Similarly, two BDA8 DAC cards could act as the backbone as a fantastic 16-output mixing/signal routing system. Burl offers even more options for demanding AES and word clock applications...the choice is yours!
The B16 Mothership Dante features the BMB3 Dante motherboard, equipped with two ethernet ports for connection to any Dante-enabled device, such as a digital mixing console.
- 2U chassis with internal power supply
- Includes BMB3 Dante motherboard
- 1 BNC Word Clock input/2 BNC Word Clock outputs

Today's topic is about "Music Theory". It's essentially the backbone of all music and it's performance. Chords? That's theory. Those goddamned modes that make you want to blow your brains out? That's theory as well. Every aspect of music performance and composition is governed by music theory.
That being said. TODAY'S MUSIC USES NONE OF IT! Erm, I shouldn't say "none" but there is no advanced, intelligent music theory that goes into writing music nowadays. Do you all know how hard I have to look for a mainstream song that ISN'T in 4/4 time? It's infuriating! How someone can put "4/4" in front of the staff (theory terms) and then let a computer do the rest of the work... and get paid for it? It's inexcusable. I place blame on both the performers AND the record labels.
That is all.
P.S. Anyone want to take a shot at what genre uses the most music theory (overall)?

This week's blog post is by WDP co-host Matt Rocco, who
lives in the Edgewater Glen neighborhood of Chicago with Professor
Foster (his non-white, non-dad wife), and their daughter Viva, who
is endlessly taken aback by her parents' good looks and
Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.
As you likely inferred from the title, I'm a Handsome Dad. Sure,
I know the term "D.I.L.F." and I won't say it's never been lobbed
in my direction, but I don't like to talk like that, you know, with
children around.
I'm flattered, though. Thank you.
So, what's it like to be so disarmingly masculine and fetchingly
distinguished? Oh, it's not so bad. You can get used to anything,
right? Some days I don't even think about how striking I am for a
good 45 minutes, even an hour, but then I catch a furtive glance
from a member of the yoga pants-and-strollers set, or perhaps a
curious twenty-something ogling the salt and pepper in my temples,
and I have to remind myself, Yes, Dad, they're looking at you.
Go on, ask me anything. I'm not shy, I'm just your average
thirty-something dad with a matinee idol jaw and the same waist
size he had when he was 18. No big deal.
Handsome Dad, is your Handsomeness and Charm a
distraction when you bring your child to classes or out
I'd be lying if I said that many mothers don't occasionally drop
their children off the play bridge at Gymboree when they hear my
potent laugh and see me treating my daughter with respect and
affection. Luckily the kids fall right on the squishy mat and
they're OK. At the supermarket I do what I can to cover up in a
tasteful pea coat with a richly colored scarf for a hint of
European flair, but sometimes it is difficult to go unnoticed,
especially with my adorable daughter oft repeating, "How I love
you, Daddy. How lucky Mommy is."
Handsome Dad, is it difficult to stay so
Well, time is at a premium these days, what with my exciting
career, the time spending building forts and doing crafts with my
daughter, my writing, the landscaping, and of course, all the hours
being emotionally present for my wife. But you can never be too
busy for after shave, styling gel, manly-but-well-groomed eyebrows,
and an up-to-date and seasonally apropos wardrobe.
The real key is to have the gene for handsomeness. I guess I
just do. Don't be too hard on yourself, though, sometimes it comes
out late in life.
Handsome Dad, do you think you will ever stop becoming
more and more handsome?
If an end is coming, I've seen no signs of it yet.
Handsome Dad, I'm scared. Are you going to seduce my
That wouldn't be very sporting, would it? No. Besides, as a
Handsome Dad I find myself married to an almost cruelly Sexy Mom,
so why would I need to? (Plus, she frowns on that sort of thing.) I
can't speak for your wife's intentions, though. As Emily Dickinson
said, "Sometimes the heart wants what it wants."
Wait, who is asking these questions? Are you writing
these questions yourself?
Ha ha ha. You're quite a jokester.
Well, that's about all the time I have. I need to start dinner
before my wife comes home - we're opening a special bottle of wine
tonight. Something from our Napa trip, I think. I know it's only
Tuesday, but, what can I say, she deserves it. Oh, and first I'm
going to go out and split some logs with my shirt off. Sure, I live
in the city and don't have a fireplace, but I like to donate
firewood to the poor.
It's just the kind of Handsome Dad I am.

TORONTO -- Boston Bruins linemates Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand know they need to be better, much better, in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday night at Air Canada Centre.
Seguin remains without a point and Marchand has only two assists in the first five games. Center Patrice Bergeron, who is still one of the best players on the ice, has one goal and one assist.
"We obviously know how we're playing and how much more we want to bring to the table. It's about being accountable right now," Seguin said after the team's morning skate at ACC.
Boston's second line was its most consistent during the entire season, but Seguin and Marchand have not made the same kind of contributions in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Bruins coach Claude Julien has said as much himself and would like to see Marchand and Seguin do more in other aspects of the game too.
"I think we've had plenty of opportunities throughout the series to score goals, especially early on the first few games we felt good and we were creating a lot, but they weren't going in," Marchand said. "We had a goal called back and hit a few crossbars, but at some point you do have to find a way to score goals. It's something we haven't done yet, but hopefully if we do everything right tonight hopefully we'll get some bounces.
"You just have to dig down, especially against their goalie [James Reimer], he's very good and very good in close. He's a big guy and closes off the net very well, so we have to make sure to sometimes hold it for an extra second, make him move, make him get down and open something up, so maybe something like that. We'll take whatever we can get."
Boston's top line of Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Nathan Horton has dominated in this series, totaling 23 points. Krejci has five goals and six assists, but Friday in Game 5, the Maple Leafs were able to shut them down.
"[Toronto] should be proud for shutting down the Krejci line, but I can tell you that it was the least effective game they've played and it was a lot of their own doing," Julien said. "That's been addressed and they've been a good line for us and certainly weren't the same line they have been for us. They know they can be better and we expect them to be that tonight."
