Q-Notes

Q-Notes is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) newspaper serving North Carolina and South Carolina. It is based in Charlotte, N.C., and publishes every other week. The paper was originally started in 1983 as the monthly newsletter of Queen City Quordinators, a Charlotte LGBT organization. In 1986, it began publishing as a monthly tabloid under the direction of C.A.N. (Charlotte Advocacy Network) Inc. The paper was bought by its current owner, Pride Publishing and Typesetting, in December 1989. Chronicling local and regional news around the Carolinas, the paper is a vital resource for the LGBT communities of the two states.

AD Vid-Notes

AD Vid-Notes is a special feature on recent ADV Films DVD releases which provides pop-up glosses or running notes on assorted cultural references throughout an anime. The format is similar to that of VH1's Pop-Up Video. They are essentially quick tips on the subtext of another culture. Not only do they explain jokes, they may point out their very existence. Without the notes, the intended effect of some content could be entirely lost on the untrained foreign ear if not explicitly pointed out.
