The Wentz family, who now live in a hotel after losing their home to fire on Aug. 12, return to their destroyed residence for another look. From left: Rayne, 16, Kaleb, 17, Aiden, 13, Jen, Chelsea, 15, Jaden, 13, and John.
Three dressers and one bed.
That's all the Wentz family is left with after a fire ravaged their Denver home last week.
The family of seven — parents John and Jenn, both 39, and their children, Caleb, 17, Rayne, 16, Chelsea, 14, and 13-year-old twins Aiden and Jaden — are close.
They routinely eat dinner together. And despite losing their home in last Friday's fire, the family — including their potbellied pig Lulu — is continuing the dinner routine in a Denver hotel.
It's a tight fit, but the Wentzes are making do scattered around one of their two their hotel rooms eating casseroles prepared by family and friends.
"We are holding strong as a family, and the community has been amazing," Jenn Wentz said.
Caleb was home alone when an electronic malfunction in a dryer started the fire that destroyed the rear of the home and damaged most of the belongings inside, John Wentz said.
Caleb was able to escape unharmed along with eight of the family pets — three guinea pigs, two dogs, one cat, one turtle and Lulu. Unfortunately, two of their dogs died in the blaze.
Until they find a place to stay, Lulu is staying with the family at the pet-friendly hotel, while the Wentzes' other pets are being cared for at a local vet.
As the family continues to adjust to its temporary living arrangements, the kids are faced with getting ready to go back to school on the heels of losing most everything they owned.
Classes at Cocalico School District, where all five Wentz kids attend, begin on Aug. 29.
Friends and family have been helping the family members get back on their feet.
Along with preparing meals, friends and family have collected clothing, toiletries, and money for the Wentzes.
A donation spot was set up at the Ephrata Rec Center, where Jenn Wentz works as a preschool teacher.
A GoFundMe page for the family has raised $2,710 of a $3,000 goal as of 12:30 p.m. Friday.
The school district said it has resources available if the family needs them, including transportation to and from school if it's a temporary home is located in a different school district.
"The important thing is for the kids to continue to be in school and have what they need to be in school," Cocalico Superintendent Dr. Ella Musser said.
John Wentz said his family is grateful for all the support it has received.
John Wentz works for Vision Tech Electronics in Stevens. He repairs electronics damaged by fire and water.
He said it's been a challenge staying away from his home since he returned to work Tuesday because he knows the work that needs to be done to restore it.
However, after sifting through the debris and collecting his family's charred, smoke-damaged electronics, he discovered nothing was salvageable.
"It's different when it's your home," he said.
But he is optimistic about how long it will take for their home to be rebuilt.
Despite being told it could take up to one year to rebuild, he is convinced his family will be back in their home in as little as six months.
"Although it's devastating when it happens to you, I know what the end product is going to be," he said.

It's Bad News For 'Personal' Social Networking As Path Lays Off 20 Percent Of Staff
by Joe White
The more "personal" social network Path has laid off 13 members of staff, as co-founder and chief executive officer Dave Morin looks ahead to the app's forthcoming major update, Path 4.0. Given that the 13 fired employees represent 20 percent of Path's workforce, this is a big move. Path, however, affirms that it isn't a reflection of hard times for the social network, and firmly played down the staff layoffs in a comment made to ValleyWag:
It's just a realignment of the company. I wouldn't read anything into it. The business is strong we have 20 million users.
The spokesperson added: "We're working to realign the company to support continued innovation and Path 4.0." Last month, Path updated its iOS application adding "Path Premium" - a subscription-based offering, whereby users can access a number of additional features for $4.99 per quarter, or $14.99 per year. Though the social network's goal appeared to revolve around making money from its users, Path's recent layoffs indicate that this particular move hasn't been successful. Now, Morin is reportedly seeking a new round of funding for his company, and supports this request with reference to Path's 20 million users. Profitability for Path, however, looks as if it's going to be incredibly difficult to establish, let alone sustain.

Linda Allen State Farm Among Sponsors for Upcoming Fort Worth Arts Festival
Sep 27, 2017 | Art
March 17, 2018, Art-On-A-Can Arts Festival to be Held at Box Office Warehouse Suites
FORT WORTH, TX, September 27, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ — When Ron Sturgeon, the man behind the Art-On-A-Can Arts Festival, puts out the word that he needs sponsors for an event, it does not take long for local business owners to step up to the plate. One such business person is Linda Allen, one of the leading insurance agents in the Fort Worth Metro area and a good friend of Sturgeon.
"This was a no-brainer," said Allen recently. "Ron was asking, and proceeds go to SPCA of Texas. How could I possibly say no when he asked me?"
Linda Allen State Farm has been open for business since 2010. "I am a huge fan of State Farm – after 18 years with the company in five different locations, an opportunity came open in Fort Worth. I love Texas and the people in Fort Worth are incredible! I am one of those who truly loves what they do. You will feel the energy and warmth when you work with me and my team," Allen told us recently. On her mission statement is the phrase "to help people to realize their dreams," and that explains perfectly why she signed on so quickly when this arts festival was announced and her friend, Ron Sturgeon, came knocking.
"This is an arts festival for street artists and graffiti artists," says Sturgeon. "This is an opportunity to showcase some very talented people who do not receive enough credit because their medium is misunderstood. Some of today's most talented artists just happen to be graffiti artists, and if you come to the arts festival you'll find out for yourself just how cool street art can be."
The festival will be held at Box Office Warehouse Suites, Sturgeon's latest project, the first and only business park in Fort Worth made entirely out of shipping containers.
"It was easy getting sponsors for this event," Sturgeon said. "Sure, everyone is curious about this new business park and sure, everyone wants to see the art, but, as Linda would also tell you, the fact that proceeds go to the SPCA of Texas, to help in the prevention of cruelty to animals, well that's just icing on the cake."
Sturgeon says everyone is welcome at this kid and pet friendly event. Admission is $5 with kids under 12 free, and 100% of the entrance fees go towards SPCA. You can buy your tickets at EventBrite.com, on site, or for advanced tickets go to Graffitiartfestival.com.
Box Office Warehouse Suites is located at 1953 Golden Heights Road, just north of Fort Worth in the Alliance area, off the Interstate 35 at the Golden Triangle Exit. The Festival will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 17, 2018.

After a disheartening result against UT, work in ESTEEM began again in earnest. While Consulting week had come and gone, career week had us suited from the get go. Starting off the week with Prof. Kitz and learning about the inner workings of the marketing world, refreshing our knowledge of consulting frameworks, and realising the existence of traumatic 'dog-o-matic' washing machines, all augured well for an interesting few days.
Towards the end of the week, the first draft of our thesis chapters I & II began shadowing everything we did. 'How's the thesis going?' quickly became a common opening line to all interactions, followed by a silence, a shrug, or sometimes a few tears. I was really feeling the pressure augment, since game day was approaching, but thankfully Sunny quickly saved us all by postponing the due-date to Monday night. With this problem out of my mind, it was time for some football! With zero prior knowledge, I had no idea what to expect. Campus noticeably changed on Friday, with tourists and alum populating the beautiful grounds. Saturday started as it hoped to go on as things kicked off with some delicious food, tasty mimosas, and great music courtesy of Brendan and Ken. Heading toward campus for the real tailgates, was incredible. The atmosphere itself was intoxicating. Tents, grills, and laughter filled the lots as Notre Dame metamorphosed into a colourful bazaar bursting at its seams. As an Irish boy, the only way I can only describe it is as a very civilised version of St. Patrick's Day. As the game commenced, it was obvious The Fighting Irish were on the road to victory. I was somewhat confused at the start (mostly with the chants and gestures you had to do at certain points of play) but Karl and Marisa taught me a lot of the game rules throughout. In the end, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected! I'm already planning the future trips back to Notre Dame for football season and I'm excited to introduce the true ND game spirit to my parents and sister.
But, now that the first home game day is over, it means I have no excuse not to do my thesis work, which is a lot. So, my Monday will be sponsored by Keurig and I will undoubtedly be stressed for a few hours, but the thoughts of next weekend and the atmosphere will help me get through. You're going down, Michigan State!

In general, lots of people confuse the words "Copyright" and "Trademark". They do not know how to copyright or rather, trademark their logo, blogs or business names. The word copyright has been used alongside trademark to make things a little easier to understand.Copyright is not the same as trademark. According to the United States Copyright Office, a copyright provides protection against plagiarism and exists from the minute a composition is created. It provides protection to tangible works in music, art, design, literature, drama or film; copyright authorizes the author of an original, tangible form of work to be the legal owner of his creation. Though copyright exists as soon as an idea takes up a tangible form, it is still preferred to register the work with the United States Copyright Office which asserts the owner's legal authority by making it public to discourage the infringement of copyright. Some people also publish copyrights on their work for further security of their possession. Registering a document is not very expensive and costs around $35 – $85 but renewal of the copyright prior to its expiry date, getting copies of copyright facts and searching copyright records is more expensive.A trademark on the other hand, protects names, logos, or even a business idea. A trademark is used to protect patents, trademarks and ideas. It is therefore handled by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). After becoming a trademark, your word, phrase, logo, design or symbol can use a Service Mark (™, SM,®) legally.Using Service Marks with your logos is another way of asserting ownership and discouraging at least 75% of possible violators of your copyright. Claiming ownership lets you use ™ and SM symbols and registering with the federal trademark registration allows you to use ® symbol with your logo or business name.Registering your work legally gives you the advantage of defending yourself in the federal court against any case of plagiarism. When a record is present with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, it is easier to assert the owner's authority.Any original work created should be registered as soon as possible to avoid any possibilities of infringement. Whether it be trademark or copyright, they both confirm the authority of the owner legally. Copyright is the basic registration of a tangible, original work with the United States Copyright Office while trademark is the protection of words, phrase, logos, symbols, business names, or design provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Discovery: Habibi
By Effie Bowen
ABOVE: HABIBI. IMAGE COURTESY OF DANNY KRUG
The all-female quartet Habibi says they're "really, really overdue to put out something," even if they've only been together a year. Thankfully, their 7-inch, released last February on Born Bad Records, offers crystal harmonies and pop beats that will keep us charmed until their full-length drops this winter. Influenced by grunge, punk, hip-hop, and Motown, Habibi's sound—and band members—meet somewhere in the middle. This year, the independent ladies enchanted audiences at Cake Shop, The Knitting Factory, and at a sold-out Union Pool show before taking their singalong-worthy hits like "Tomboy" and "Sweetest Talk" to SXSW.
Currently recording, DJing, and trying to figure out what they should be for Halloween, the group met with Interview over a plate of fries to discuss other fare, being a DIY band, and how many ways "habibi" can be mispronounced.
AGES & HOMETOWNS : Rahill Jamalifard : I'm from Michigan, and I'm 27.Erin Campbell: I'm from New York City, and I just turned 28. I'm old.Caroline Partamian: I'm from the San Fernando Valley, California, which is the porn capital of the West Coast, and I'm 26 years old and a Taurus.Karen Isabel: I'm from Puerto Rico, but I grew up in Queens. I'm 25.
CURRENT LOCATION : Brooklyn, NY.
THEIR GENRE: Jamalifard: There was an amazing post on one of the Youtube [videos] that labeled us, "Neo-Classic, Post-Punk, Girl Group Psych." [laughs]
FREE FOOD, AND LEFTOVERS: Campbell: I don't eat junk food all the time; that's why I'm catching up here.Isabel: I work at a restaurant, so I just eat whatever they give me.Patamian: One time, in Iran, my family, we were at a restaurant in Tehran, with my grandma. Nobody was hungry, but my grandma had ordered all this stuff; but in Iran, you don't take home leftovers, nobody does. You don't even think about it. Nobody was looking and I look over and literally she's pushing rice and skewers of kabob into her purse and we look back and we're like, "Grandma, no you didn't!" [laughs]
GROUP DYNAMICS: Isabel: We all just have so many different musical tastes, when we're playing, coming up with things, I'll want to play Mo Tucker and Caroline will want to play grunge and Erin will want to play The Ramones, and it all comes together and works out really well.Campbell: We all take the back seat and think, "What can I do to make the song better?" We serve the song, not try to go and show off.
SELF-SUPPORT: Jamalifard: We're super DIY. Everything we do ourselves. She [points to Campbell] records, we do the original art, we make buttons…Isabel: We film it.Jamalifard: We pretty much ride on our own.Campbell: We do all our own shit. We've always liked doing it that way. I mean, if you have the opportunity to work with someone you really respect, but how often does that opportunity come up? Not very often. And usually, you have to pay a lot of money for it.
PRONUNCIATION PROBLEMS: Campbell: Other bands, strangers, or audiences will be like, "Habooby?" "Hababy?" "Hapipi?" [all laugh]Campbell: I'll be like, "No. Huh-Bee-Bee."
EARLY LOVE: Campbell: When I first started going to shows, I saw so many and I thought, "Oh my god, this is the coolest thing in the world." When I was younger, The Craze played and I just remember being completely blown away that there was all this cool music that was accessible to me.
NO BOYS ALLOWED: Partamian: I'm definitely proud of the fact that it's all women.Jamalifard: Yeah, I'm proud.Partamian: But it definitely makes it difficult for some situations. People don't realize how much hate girl groups get. I worked on the Kathleen Hanna documentary and I got to read all this awesome stuff she wrote about being in a girl group and how people will always undermine you. "You're a good drummer… for a girl."
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS: Jamalifard: Recording. Definitely recording. We're doing CMJ [music marathon] in October. And we have a line up of shows we're really excited to play in the fall. We're playing Glasslands with Vetiver September 21st, and 285 Kent in December.
HOW THEY GET IT ALL DONE: Jamalifard: We're hustlers by nature; we get where we are because we work for it so hard.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
Kaiju Movie Reviews!

The following is KFN contributor Gojira-Fan's incredibly thorough breakdown of this Shinsei entry in the Godzilla franchise. Prepare to have your mind blown:
This film was released in Japan as (in Romanji) Gojira tai Mekagojira (translated into English as Godzilla x Mechagodzilla) on December 15, 2002. It grossed $16,000,000 (approx. USD) there, and was considered a box office success. The film's home video rights for North America were picked up by Sony, who released the film on home video in 2004 as Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, which I will refer to it as in this review. This Sony DVD is also what I will be using to watch the film. Because of the atrocious English dubbing, I will be watching this movie in Japanese with English subtitles.
First, I will start with the acting. Yumiko Shaku stars as the main character Akane Yashiro. She does a good job playing her loner recluse character, often having an absent look which is fitting for the role. Shin Takuma stars as the bumbling scientist Tokumitsu Yuhara. He does fairly well with the material he is given, although his "surprised look" he gives when approached by the government isn't very convincing. The child actor actually who plays Tokumitsu's daughter is actually quite good here (considering she is a child actor) and conveys emotion convincingly. Ko Takasugi's performance as the lieutenant is also of note, his stern, deep voice adds a lot to the character, despite the character itself being quite flat. Yusuke Tomoi's character, Hayama, isn't exactly a stand out performance, but he gets the job done. Akira Nakao also does a very good job as the prime minister, and I'm glad that he appears in the sequel. Of note to fans of the Showa series, Kumi Mizuno appears in a cameo as the prime minister who get's replaced by Akira Nakao's character. She does a very memorable performance, considering her character only appears in three scenes. All the other actors do fine with the roles given. Overall, the acting is good, but it isn't exactly awards worthy either. Perhaps that has do with the how well the characters are developed, but I will touch on that issue later.
Now, let's talk about the script penned by Wataru Mimura. Now, like all the millennium films up to this point, this film ignores all previous entries in the series, only being a sequel to the original Gojira. However, this time they mix it up a bit. A few other Toho kaiju films are part of the timeline. Mothra and War of the Gargantuas are also part of the film's timeline. While Mothra's involvement is insignificant until the sequel, it's explained that the Maser tanks we see in the beginning of the movie were invented in War of the Gargantuas. It's also explained that ever since Godzilla first attacked, that Japan has seemed cursed since giant monsters keep on attacking. I actually like that they acknowledge this, because a lot of the criticisms of Kaiju films is how monsters always seem to be created near Japan and always attack Japan.
Anyway, the script sets up a nice chronology, especially for people who have seen the other films. However, I think these sort of references can actually be detrimental, especially Godzilla's death. You see, this was actually the first Godzilla movie I ever saw (I rented this movie at Blockbuster in 2004). Not having seen any other Godzilla film, I was confused. "Godzilla died!?!" I thought. "And there is another Godzilla!?!" This was overwhelming for me at first, and I think that this concept might confuse some non-fans who watch this movie.
Now, I also have some problem with the film's premise. It feels like the tone of this movie is fairly realistic. However, Japan's first idea to defend themselves upon learning that Godzilla is immune to the Masers is to build a bio-robot around the bones of the original Godzilla. It sounds ridiculous. And don't give me this "Nothing is realistic in these movies". I can accept the idea of a giant thermonuclear lizard. I can accept a giant bio-robot. What I can't accept is that this was the JSDF's first idea to stop Godzilla. Especially considering the only thing that Mechagodzilla had that would kill Godzilla was the absolute-zero cannon. How about the Japanese government just builds the absolute-zero cannon, and not Mechagodzilla? I know "Freezing laser used against Godzilla" is not exactly as exciting "Robot version of Godzilla fights Godzilla", but this still bothers me. And maybe if the film didn't seem like it was trying to be a serious science-fiction film, it wouldn't seem so insane and ridiculous for Japan to do this after their first encounter with Godzilla.
I also have some issues with the films pacing. After Yuhara decides to take the job (after never seeing him say yes), we immediately jump to 1 month in the future, without seeing the characters settle into their new home or anything. I find it sort of jarring.
As well, there are issues with the characters. Akane is our main character. She's the one (we're supposed to be) rooting for. She's the one that fights Godzilla while inside Kiryu, meaning that her life is in danger and we should care that she might die. However, we don't. At least I don't. You see, it's not that Akane is bland or anything. She's a determined loner recluse that doesn't have much value in her life. However, we don't get to really know about her much. She feels bad about causing that guy's death in the beginning. I find it hard to care for her. She doesn't really show any emotion other than a blank stare. You know, it might be better if they showed like, Akane writing in her dairy with voice over narration. So we could know more about her motives. We could know how she feels, because her character is very adept at hiding her emotions. As well, she never really seems to develop as a character. Well, I guess she kind of did. She became more confident, I think. And she might have learned to let go of that death, I don't know. My main point is, it's generally hard to tell how Akane is feeling, and thus it's hard for me to connect with her emotionally.
As for Tokumitsu, are other main character, I actually like him. He's this bumbling scientist, and unlike Akane I can tell what he's feeling. How he bumbles his way trying to get with Akane is endearing. Hey, who hasn't had girl troubles? If this had been a Hollywood movie, Akane and Tokumitsu would have gotten together at the end. Luckily, they didn't, and it's nice to see. Hell, Tokumitsu and Akane didn't even make that much of connection. She barely even talked to him. Oh wait, never mind, there's a post-credit scene where they say that they will go to dinner together.
Now that I think about it, perhaps it would have been better for Akane and Tokumitsu to have a romance before the fight against Godzilla. While there is sort of a creepy age difference, I think it would have worked better because it would add more tension. Tokumitsu fearing for his lover Akane, as she risks her life for the greater good of Japan…it would have added a lot more excitement. However, you might think it would be out of character for Akane to date Tokumitsu, but Akane could develop as a character as the story went on. She could start to be more social once she realized that people accepted her for saving Hayama's life. She starts to be outgoing, realize that she could be attracted to Tokumitsu. Go on a date with him. It could work.
The only other character there is that's worth talking about is Tokumitsu's daughter. She is an innocent child who is also idealistic about life due to her mother's death. She's actually pulled off pretty well, considering she's kind of a minor character. She's more or less there to just talks about the film's theme, which is the value of life.
I also like the idea of the original Godzilla's soul being in Kiryu. I liked the idea of Kiryu going haywire. However, it wasn't really executed in the film very well. Maybe it would have been better to have the possibility that Kiryu go haywire during the fight with Godzilla? Knowing that any second Mechagodzilla could turn against the city he is fighting to protect, with Tokumitsu's love interest inside risking her life…it would really amp up the tension.
I also want to talk about one more thing before I move on from the story aspect of this film. I've heard people complain about this film, stating that it focuses too much on Mechagodzilla and that Godzilla is only a plot device. I will actually defend this movie this time, saying that how many times has Godzilla been used as a plot device? Stop and think about it. This isn't the first time, and seeing as Godzilla is actually the main conflict in the story, he's like the antagonist, he is not a plot device. And to people complaining about this movie focusing too much on Mechagodzilla, I have this question. How much can a movie focus on Godzilla, before it gets stale? There are tons of Godzilla movies where he isn't the main focus, so I think it's fine if this movie doesn't focus on him so much either.
Anyway, the story has some good elements, but doesn't quite execute as well as it should have.
The cinematography in this film is actually quite good. The camera moves in a variety of angles, which can convey anything from the upward angle for Kiryu implying power; to personal shots where we see Tokumitsu's daughter huddled up, looking up at Kiryu. Basically, the cinematography in this film is good is because it gives us a sense of what is happening and even to some extent what the character's are feeling.
This movie also succeeds in terms of sound design. I love the noise when Godzilla is about to fire his ray. Although it has its faults, like the noise the Shirasagi makes when it fires its guns. However, it's mostly very good and I can only imagine how great it would be to watch this movie in surround sound.
As for the lighting, it's fairly, well…general. Lighting helps define what a character is going through. And, this isn't ever really used to great effect in the human scenes. I think some dark lighting, where we only saw Akane's eyes as she sees one of her fellow JSDF soldiers being killed, would have been a lot better than what we got. We got just sort of normal lighting. And this is the way the lighting is in all of the human scenes.
As for the lighting in the monster scenes, it's done to great effect in the opening scene in the rain. The lighting was one of the reasons that scene was so badass, and genuinely made the scene exciting. Lighting is also put to good effect when Godzilla attack's the city at the end of the film. The fire illuminating in red as Godzilla continues his rampage. The lighting in the monster scenes was handled much better than the human scenes.
The editing in this film also feels right. Being rhythmic, as well as emotionally engaging the viewer as much as the editor could. The editing in this movie generally just feels right, and it never feels disjointed or wrong. I do have on minor complaint about the film's editing, however. That "showdown" part, where the camera pans around Mechagodzilla and Godzilla, and then there is a quick close up on Godzilla's face, then back to the pan-around? This is one of the multiple parts of the fight that is silly, and while I'm not saying silly fights in a kaiju movie are bad, when a movie tries to be serious and then reverts to silly fighting, well it causes a clash in the tone. Anyway, other than that minor complaint, the editing is a success.
In regards to the film's score, it's a total success. Michiru Oshima is the modern Akira Ifukbe, I swear. The music is such an earworm, and fits the film perfectly. The triumphant themes are quite memorable, and the music is also used to great effect in the human scenes, like when Tokumitsu's daughter is staring up at Kiryu. I would say that this film's score is easily the best thing about this movie.
The set design is also a good thing about this movie, although one hardly notices it. All the sets feel "real", and it is really a job well done. The entire art direction in this movie is very good, sort of going for a "modern future" look. It's pulled off quite well, and this movies art design is nothing to complain about.
The special effects I feel are really a mixed bag. The first scene looked good, but then we have certain parts that look poor, like when Godzilla is standing there not reacting when getting hit by missiles on his first encounter with Kiryu. It really is, well, jarring to look at. Godzilla should be roaring. He should be doing something other than standing still and not doing anything. That's why there is an actor inside that suit, so that he can move.
Also, I'd like to talk about how silly some parts of the final fight actually are, and how that clashes with the film's serious tone. You see, it's hard to take this fight seriously when Kiryu does stuff like throw Godzilla by his tail. I know that doesn't sound bad, but actually go back and watch that scene. It just looks stupid. Or how about that dumb blur that happens when Kiryu sometimes dodges something? Or how about when Kiryu jumps hundreds of feet up in the air over Godzilla? Did we ever even learn that Kiryu can jump that high? It seems like it would be pretty significant to know. Anyway, my point is, in a serious movie you can't just put a bunch of silly stuff in the fight scene. You just can't do it without confusing audience.
Now let's talk about the models. The model maser tanks look great and look like actual vehicles. The miniature trees look good as well, and I like the reference to War of the Gargantuas in the opening scene. The models used for Kiryu in the hangar also look really great, and those shots are also a spectacular success. Generally, the models look good. There are a few exceptions (like the model cars they use in city scenes), but I find that the model cars are a problem in all of Toho's recent movies. Why? Well, they are too small to have finite detail, and thus they end up looking like toys. It automatically calls fakery to the shot when they are used.
Also, certain shots make the models seem fake when the camera pans around and you can tell that it is a sound stage, not a city, the monsters are fighting in.
Godzilla is played by Tsutomu Kitagawa, and Mechagodzilla is played by Hirofumi Ishigaki. I felt that the monsters moved well when they were shot in high speed, thus making them look like they are moving slower. However, the scenes where they don't use high speed photography look jarring in contrast to the scenes that do use the high speed photography. Also, I would also like to point to when Godzilla just stands there and does nothing when being shot with missiles. Maybe that wasn't Kitagawa's fault, but the person who was directing him should have told him to flail his arms and to move a little. The person operating Godzilla's mouth should have been opening it. In short, there was no excuse for the execution in this shot.
As for Godzilla's redesign, I really like it. It's reminiscent of the designs for Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. However, they changed his atomic breath from red to blue, made him his traditional charcoal color rather than green, and made his dorsal plates a traditional white instead of purple. I think the design looks great, and it looks better than the designs the suit is reminiscent of. The only complaint is that the suit looks a little, rubbery, sometimes, but it generally looks great.
As for Kiryu, I am all for this redesign of Mechagodzilla. It blows the 90's Mechagodzilla out of the water. It looks like it could be a real robot, but it also looks like Mechagodzilla. I can't think of any complaints, the design is a success.
Now, seeing as this is a millennium Godzilla movie, they also use CGI. Godzilla's breath, the various masers, and when buildings get shot at by the absolute-zero cannon all look great. What doesn't look great is the actual "orb" that builds up from the absolute-zero before it gets shot. The Shirasagi also generally look good, other than a few shots. The CGI missiles also look good. A few of the CGI Kiryu shots look good, but some also look bad. Anyway, I would say that the CGI is a mixed bag.
Before I sum up this review in one final paragraph, I want to talk about one last thing, the subtitles. Now, these subtitles have been confirmed to be accurate to the Japanese dialogue, unlike some other Sony DVDs. However, some of the dialogue is well, jarring. Lines like "Would you like to have kids?" Now, this is what Tokumitsu is saying to Akane, and she hasn't even said a word to him. I can't really believe that's what he really said, so I interpreted it as Tokumitsu just bumbling around, trying to get a date. There are some other lines like this (well that was the most jarring example) and one can follow this movie, but I am not sure I would want to show a non-fan this version with these subtitles. I can interpret meaning from these subtitles, but I can't take them literarily, because of what they say at times.
In conclusion, this movie has issues with its tone (at the end of the film), the pacing can be off at times, there are some issues with the premise, the main character is hard to care for, and the special effects can be mixed. However, this movie sports some decent acting, a cool premise (despite some issues), a few likeable characters, some decent cinematography and sound design, a truly awesome score and some good special effects even though some of the other special effects can be jarring. In the end, I give this movie a C+.
– Gojira-Fan
I find Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla to be one of the more forgettable entries in the Goji series. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie. No, it's just trapped in the middle, being neither particularly good or particularly bad. The story is interesting enough. I like the references it made to other Toho movies, forming its own mini-continuity. Kiryu is also a pretty wicked idea. A Mechagodzilla built around the first Godzilla's skeleton? Sign me up for some of that! There's a lot of flaws too, however. I LOVE that Kiryu is 'possessed' by the original Godzilla. But why have such a major (and badass) problem only occur once? I would have been much happier if a lot more of the film was centered around this issue. Just imagine if Kiryu went rogue during the final battle and Godzilla was left as Japan's only hope. And speaking of Godzilla, while I think that the film's design is suitably imposing and threatening, the suit is terribly stiff. It didn't look like he could even turn his head with that little hood thing he had going on. And what was with the King retreating during his initial confrontation with Kiryu? All he did was take a few missiles to the chest and take off when Kiryu went crazy. Since when does the King of the Monsters retreat? I've heard it said that he was just confused by his robotic look-alike, or the spirit of his predecessor in it, but that's not much better. The Goji I know and love would tear apart anything that confused him. He doesn't have much of a personality at all really. The action sequences are pretty good, even if they get a little to Power Rangers-esque during some bits. There are some pretty cool visuals too. The first that comes to mind is Godzilla marching ashore with Hell written across his face as a flaming hunk of debris falls in front of him.
Not matter how hard I try, I can't enjoy this movie as much as its successor, Godzilla: Tokyo SOS. This may be because I actually watched SOS first though. Either way, I find Against Mechagodzilla a decent installment in the franchise, but not one of my favorites. – HayesAJones

The limited series, starring Dakota Fanning, Daniel Brühl and Luke Evans, is based on Caleb Carr's 1994 psychological thriller set in 1896 New York City, opening with a series of gruesome murders of boy prostitutes. The show, which was shot in Budapest, Hungary, is a co-production between Paramount Television and Turner's Studio T. It was exec produced and directed by Black Mirror's Jakob Verbruggen, with Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), Hossein Amini (Drive), E. Max Frye (Foxcatcher), Anonymous Content's Steve Golin and Rosalie Swedlin, along with Chris Symes and Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) also exec producing.
The Alienist launched in the U.S. on January 22 with an average of 3.1M total viewers in Live+3 viewing, including nearly 1 million viewers 18-49. The first episode also counts among its accomplishments a record digital opening for TNT. It generated more than 4M total minutes watched on TNT's apps and sites, sparking more than 10M social engagements.

The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria,COREN, was established by Decree 55 of 1970 as amended by Decree 27 of 1992 and now an Act of the National Assembly, Engineers (Registration etc) Act CAP E11 of 2004 with the mandate to regulate the practice of Engineering in all aspects and ramifications. Thus the Council carries out this mandate through Accreditation of Engineering Programmes, Registration of Engineering Personnel and Firms and Regulation and Control through Engineering Regulation Monitoring and other mechanisms.
The law empowers COREN to accredit all Engineering Programmes in Universities, Polytechnics and Technical Colleges to ensure that these institutions have adequate facilities for the production of Engineering graduates at all levels. Accreditation is COREN's quality assurance mechanism for the teaching and learning of Engineering courses.
From the various sections of the COREN Act, the procedure for establishing Engineering programmes has been made clear.
Based on national manpower requirements, the National Universities Commission, NUC, approves an Engineering Programme to be run in a Universities while the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, does same for Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Technical Colleges.
COREN then carries out a Pre-Accreditation or Resource Inspection visitation to the Engineering programme and based on the findings, approves its commencement. It is COREN that determines whether the Engineering programme has adequate facilities to commence teaching and learning of the programme. It is therefore illegal to commence an Engineering programme without initial approval by COREN.
The Pre-Accreditation visit is usually an opportunity for the institution to get professional advice from COREN on all aspects of the programme that need to be put in place.
Two years after the initial approval, COREN visits again for the normal accreditation.
i. Identify Programmes for accreditation from COREN updated website and data kept at the Education and Training Department.
ii. Write Letters to institutions on Pre-accreditation, Accreditation and Re-accreditation.
iv. Recommend list of visitors for Registrar's approval.
v. Write to Institutions on the date and budget for the visitation.
vi. Obtain all necessary materials for the visitation i.e score sheet, self study document, Guideline on accreditation etc.
vii. Prepare a report on the accreditation visitation by the secretariat.
viii. Presentation of the report on accreditation visitation to E & T Committee and to the Council for approval.
ix. Communicate Council's decisions on the status of accreditation to the institutions.
x. Update the accreditation institutions on the COREN website.
a) Accreditation teams to Engineering Programmes to Universities are made up of Engineers drawn from the Industry and Academics. These are the Resource Persons on the Visitation.
b) Two Resource Persons shall be appointed for each programme.
c) Proposition of Resource Persons is done by the Education and Training Department for the consideration and approval of the Registrar.
d) The Team Leader of the Accreditation Visitation shall be a Member of COREN Council.
iv. Must have been registered with COREN for at least 6 years.
v. Up to date with payment of practicing fees.
vi. Be seen to be active in activities of the Engineering profession.
Accreditation looks at the following areas of the programme for assessment.
(i) Contribution to Industry and Engineering.
At the end of a visitation, a programme is granted either 'Full Accreditation' or 'Failed Accreditation' by Council. For a first time visitation, a programme may be considered for "Interim Accreditation' to allow it to run for two years and correct all deficiencies before a re-visitation.
Full Accreditation implies that a programme has met the minimum requirements in all the areas of assessment and scored not less than 70% in total. Such a programme is then valid to run for five (5) years subject to maintaining or improving on the standards as may be verified through regular monitoring of the programme by Council.
A programme with 'Failed Accreditation' status must have scored less than 70% in total and has not satisfied the minimum requirements in all the core areas of assessment. Such a programme has no validity to continue to run.
Graduates of an unaccredited programme are not registrable by COREN and will never be registered even if the programme is eventually accredited. It is therefore unacceptable, illegal and morally wrong for a University to admit students into or graduate students from unaccredited Engineering programmes.


For today's assignment, I've selected 'Write Anything Wednesday' from the 'Community Events Listing' so I could share some thoughts about where we live.
Today is another winter's day, much like any other. Cold, overcast, snow predictions–a typical winter scenario. This morning when Tyson went outside, he thought he was in heaven–four white-tailed deer peered toward us before turning away, their tails high in the air as they scurried away. Tyson wanted to give chase, but a command (or two or three) stopped him in his tracks. He could never catch them, but I don't want to encourage him.
Looking toward the water, another vision awaits. Because of the clouds reflecting, the water is varying shades of gray interspersed with a few areas of blue. The shoreline has extended upwards and outwards due to the formation of ice. As the waves push forward, the ice piles up. Now it's about four feet higher along the water's edge than normal. Beyond that, it looks like miniature icebergs waiting their turn to land.
In anticipation of flurries, the birds are busy pecking away at their seed and suet, while a lone squirrel sits among them, stuffing his cheeks. Three cats went to inspect but decided at 17F/-8C it was better to remain indoors. Old Ollie decided he wanted to go out. I opened the door just as a gust blew in. He hissed and growled and walked away–not happy that I couldn't warm things up so he could go outside to play.
Ollie wanders to a deck door, thinking the weather will be better on the opposite side of the house. Not so, and he sauntered off in disgust. I looked at the lake, and the clouds have lightened. As a result, the areas icing over toward the horizon have turned white, reflecting the new cloud cover, like floating marshmallows.
A last look inland and what do I see, but those heavy gray clouds bringing their debris. A gust shakes the clouds, and they sprinkle their burden–the flurries have started, and it's time for a tea.
Nice pictures, Randall. My cat, Monkeyface reacts similarly to your Ollie to cold winter days. She mews at me in ways that lead me to suspect that she has a theory about the weather. I think her theory is that, since we people can make food and cream happen from the Great White Box, and we magically make light happen, or not, and open magical doors to/from the outside, that we servants with godlike powers can also make the weather change at will – we just aren't doing our jobs properly. So The Management must yell at us to make us understand what we must do – turn whatever switch thingy there is that changes the weather. Anyway, sorry about going way off tangent; I enjoyed your post.
I totally agree with what you're saying. There is no doubt who runs the household, and it's not a human:( Great description of how we're treated.
Many thanks! Landfall (in Canada) is approximately 44 miles across the sea:) From a color perspective, the autumn isn't the best season as most of the nearby trees don't turn into vivid colors but a dull yellow. But it's still a great place to be.
Wow, it's looks like a peaceful winter wonderland! Cool place!
Actually, I hate tea:) I put the kettle on to make a tea for my wife but a coffee for me!
Our driveway is 1/4 mile long and because of the trees we can't see the road except when standing on the driveway.
Hope everything's okay in the fridge!
You can't tell looking at the roadside photo, but in the yard to the left of the driveway we have 63 pine trees, an apple tree, and several birches.
A snow covered beach! The photos are lovely. Do you ever wish you lived by an ocean beach instead of a lake beach?


Can BedBugs be found in the hair on your head.?
Can bedbugs be found in my hair,scalp.
Bedbugs are a parasite, but usually after they take a blood meal, they leave the host. So for them to stay on the host (your hair or scalp) would be unusual.
Both are small, but Bed bugs are usually larger and easier to see. Lice are very small and difficult to see.


I thought abuot this the other day while I was out driving, and there was a tune on the radio that reminded me about a special event. So here's what you do.
3. Share them here on LJ with your friend, with a short description about what the tune reminds you off.
I've found two myself so far. More might be added!
This tune was all over the radios one fall when I went to visit some friends in Atlanta in November 2001.


There's nothing I love more than a heritage brand, so when Ghost announced it was revamping its flagship Chelsea store I jumped at the chance for a sneak peek.
Other guests, including blogger Roxie Nafousi, took the opportunity to view the AW15 collection which debuted exclusively at the launch party. The line features designs inspired by early vintage garments from the fashion house's archives, and has a wonderful Seventies feeling which we know will go down well with the fash pack.
As we sipped our final glass of champagne for the evening, Suleyman left us with his thoughts on taking such an iconic brand into 2015. "Ghost is a beloved, heritage London brand that is as relevant today as when it was established over three decades ago. Our refurbishment of the flagship store is a fitting tribute to Ghost's role in fashion history, honouring its past and celebrating its future.


Why Google Calendar? Why not an OSS solution?
The Fridge calendar is used to organize meetings around the community.
The calendar is viewable at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/fridge/ (XML, iCal, HTML).
Create an event using your time zone (Fridge calendar will adjust and display in GMT no daylight saving time see notes below though).
For the Location field, please set it to "#ubuntu-meeting on irc.freenode.net"
Under Add Guests, invite j5q85mmi6ujvjtii5s1n3li5io@group.calendar.google.com.
When it asks "Would you like to send invitation to new guests?", please choose "Don't Send"
Verify the event is showing up correctly in http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar (which is in GMT).
Please note, if your event is not being held in #ubuntu-meeting, you will need to replace all instances of #ubuntu-meeting with the correct IRC channel of your event.
All events are created in user's timezone as set in "Calendar Settings -> General -> Your current time zone", but for future events it takes into account daylight saving time such that if you plan a weekly meeting for 3pm it will still be 3pm after your location switches to winter/summer time.
If you want to avoid daylight saving time handling & create strictly UTC time-zone events you must use "GMT (no daylight saving time)"
Its important to understand that we are not being locked into using Google Calendar forever. If the News Team can find a better solution in the future, we can easily migrate away from Google Calendar.
The Fridge is currently running Drupal 5. There is no core calendaring functionality. The events module that it has currently does not support repeating events. If a meeting is supposed to be held weekly, 52 separate events have to be created for the year. Obviously, this is not a maintainable process. Other calendar modules were evaluated by the IS team, but they had security vulnerabilities. Also, most development of event modules have stopped on Drupal 5 and moved on to Drupal 6.
Drupal 6 handles calendars better. Development of modules supporting repeating events is on-going and will be released in the future. Since we need a solution now, going to Drupal 6 does not solve our problems.
The #ubuntu-meeting bot currently changes the topic in the channel to list current and upcoming meetings. It can handle individual events properly, but cannot process the iCal standard for repeating events.
This will have to be fixed in the future.


A patio is just one element of a garden design and style, but it is one of the most expensive parts of any garden build. Since the patio fulfills several different features it needs be given careful consideration. Check out pointers on how to design a patio. Most patios are placed immediately adjacent to the rear exit strategy from the house because it is simple - this may not be the best site for your patio. The back of the house may be shaded all day and so not ideal if you wish to like to sit in the sun. Consider a tiny terrace to the rear of the home with another seating location somewhere else in the garden which gets more sun. When making a garden it's a good idea to incorporate more than one patio.. One courtyard can be sited so that it assaults the last of the evening sun to provide a warm spot for a morning drink or meal. This will make the garden much more interesting and ensures that you are using a lot of garden.

(a) IN GENERAL.— The Secretary of Commerce shall, within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and subject to the availability of appropriations, contract with the National Academy of Sciences (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the "Academy") to study— (1) means by which the Government could achieve the most accurate population count possible; and (2) consistent with the goal under paragraph (1), ways for the Government to collect other demographic and housing data. 0>) SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS.— In conducting its study, the Academy shall consider such matters as— (1) with respect to subsection (a)(1)— (A) ways to improve the Government's enumeration methods, especially with regard to those involving the direct collection of data from respondents; (B) alternative methods for collecting the data needed for a basic population count, such as any involving administrative records, information from subnational or other surveys, and cumulative or rolling data-collection techniques; and (C) the appropriateness of using sampling methods, in combination with basic data-collection techniques or otherwise, in the acquisition or refinement of population data, including a review of the accuracy of the data for different levels of geography (such as States, places, census tracts and census blocks); and (2) with respect to subsection (a)(2)— (A) the degree to which a continuing need is anticipated with respect to the types of data (besides data relating to the basic population count) which were collected through the last decennial census; and (B) with respect to data for which such a need is anticipated, whether there are more effective ways to collect information using traditional methods and whether alternative sources or methodologies exist or could be implemented for obtaining reliable information in a timely manner. 13 USC 141 note.
