text: Jaron Lanier wants you to get money for your Instagram photosAnnalee Newitz5/08/13 1:01pmFiled to: book excerptjaron lanierfuturismwho owns the futurebooks321EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Jaron Lanier is the guy who popularized virtual reality, back when it was still cool. He's a futurist visionary, a musician, and a digital shit-disturber. We've got an excerpt from his new book, Who Owns the Future?, which proposes a new way to manage the economy for the information age. From the introduction to Who Owns the Future?Hello, Hero Advertisement Advertisement An odd thing about my book Who Owns the Future is that you, the reader, and I, the author, are its immediate protagonists. The very action of reading it makes you the hero of the story. You are living precisely the circumstances described in the book.If you pay to read it, then there will be a one-way transaction in which you transferred money to someone else. If you get it for free, there will be a no-way transaction, and any value traded will be off the books, recorded not in any ledger but rather in the informal value systems of reputation, karma, or other wispy forms of barter. That doesn't mean nothing will have happened. Maybe you'll get some positive strokes over a social network because of what you say about the book. That sort of activity might benefit us both. But it's a kind of benefit that is unreliable and perishable. Sponsored The clamor for online attention only turns into money for a token minority of ordinary people, but there is another new, tiny class of people who always benefit. Those who keep the new ledgers, the giant computing services that model you, spy on you, and predict your actions, turn your life activities into the greatest fortunes in history. Those are concrete fortunes made of money.This book promotes a third alternative, which is that digital networking ought to promote a two-way transaction, in which you benefit, concretely, with real money, as I do. I want digital networking to cause more value from people to be on the books, rather than less. When we make our world more efficient through the use of digital networks, that should make our economy grow, not shrink. Here's an example of the challenge we face. The photography company Kodak once employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion. They even invented the first digital camera. But today Kodak is bankrupt, and the new face of digital photography has become Instagram. When Instagram was sold to Facebook for a billion dollars in 2012, it employed only thirteen people.Where did all those jobs disappear to? And what happened to the wealth that those middle-class jobs created? Questions like these will only become more common as digital networking hollows out every industry, from media to medicine to manufacturing. Advertisement Instagram isn't worth a billion dollars just because those thirteen employees are extraordinary. Instead, its value comes from the millions of users who contribute to the network without being paid for it. Networks need a great number of people to participate in them to generate significant value. But when they have them, only a small number of people get paid. That has the net effect of centralizing wealth and limiting overall economic growth.Instead of enlarging our overall economy by creating more value that is on the books, the rise of digital networking is enriching a relative few while moving the value created by the many off the books. Advertisement By "digital networking" I mean not only the Internet and the Web, but also other networks operated by outfits like financial institutions and intelligence agencies. In all these cases, we see the phenomenon of power and money becoming concentrated around the people who operate the most central computers in a network, undervaluing everyone else. That is the pattern we have come to expect, but it is not the only way things can go.Monetizing more of what's valuable from ordinary people, who turn out to be the uncompensated sources of the data that make networks valuable in the first place, will lead to a better future. That will make power and clout more honestly distributed, and might even lead to a persistent middle class in an information economy, which would otherwise be an impossible goal.This excerpt (c) Jaron Lanier, 2013.

The U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston keep getting weirder. The pesky presence of HGH smuggling Wayne Odesnik, mass player withdrawals and retirements and now this, the case of Tanky Schwank.
According to the AP, 7th seeded Argentine Eduardo Schwank played so erratically during his 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-1 loss to countryman Juan Ignacio Chela that he was fined $1,000. Schwank's drop shots and lobs earned him the ire of the crowd, who heckled him after he foot-faulted on match point.
Sounds like fun to me, but Chela wasn't amused:
"It's hard to keep concentration when two points are very well played and two points are poorly played," Chela said through an interpreter. "He kept doing those drop shots so it was really hard to focus. I tried to stay on course and play my best tennis."
Schwank told reporters that his back was bothering him during the match and that he resorted to the public courts stuff to keep the points short and make his opponent do all the work. Hey, isn't that called strategy?
"Well I don't like to retire, that's why I just played until the end," Schwank said. "For me it was the same, retiring or not. At the end it's the same. I'd rather stay on the court and lose on court."
Hey, isn't that called old school tennis toughness? Chela doesn't think so:
"I think if you have any sort of pain, where you don't feel well and aren't able to give 100 percent on the court, it's better to just retire," Chela said.
I wasn't at the match, obviously, so I can't judge how tanky Schwank(y) actually was. But I wholeheartedly disagree with Chela's "just throw in the towel when you're feeling bad" philosophy. You know what all those sun-puckered old Aussies say: If you're healthy enough to walk on the court then you're healthy enough to finish the match (barring gushing blood and/or exposed bone, of course.) Maybe Schwank shouldn't have walked out on court to begin with, but is it really fair to fine someone for simply playing (really, really) ugly? Of course the way this tournament is going, it will probably come out that over $3,000,000 in online wagers were placed on Schwank to lose 1-6 in the third on a foot-fault call. Nothing surprises me anymore in tennis.
For now, I think Chela's just mad he had to run for all those dinky shots. I have a few opponents I'd like fined $1000, myself.

Jerry Stackhouse avoided a potential "situation" with Danny Granger on Friday when the Indiana swingman attempted to pick a fight. Stackhouse walked away from the confrontation smiling, while Granger picked up a technical.
"Stack probably early in the season probably would have took a shot at somebody, but we can't afford to lose him right now," Avery Johnson said. "We need to see how this starting lineup is going to continue to work for us, get settled into a bench rotation, so I was really proud of him during that time.
"It didn't show that he was weak because he backed away from a fight. I thought he was smart."

Filmed couple of days ago, in an exhibition match against Martin Klizan in Bratislava, Slovakia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eoa4q9o784
Nothing special.İt isnt funny. This guy even with zillion of titles under his belt.ı guess that is still his only chance for some attention.
Thats why I love the guy. Not a huge fan of his game but hes one of the most down to earth champions we have ever heard. Beats having the old arrogant silver spoon, smug " I won't play in my home country unless you give me an extra million on top of the bazillions I already have" Swiss
The event was organized for fun and humanitarian reasons (fundraising for children clinic in Bratislava). Besides, his coach and good friend, Marian Vajda is Slovakian and they played doubles together at n the same event. So this parody and all other imitations he did that day (Rodick, Nadal, Sharapova etc.) were purely for amusement of the audience, not because he needs attention... And all the guys he imitated are his good friends. So relax, No1e haters, he has more than enough attention than he probably wants in his life (how about you?
I thought that was a cheap stunt, not funny at all. Though Woz's imitation of Ralph cramping on a chair was hella funny. :lol:
Not funny at all, or I don't get it. Only thing he does is put some towels under his shirt right? His past imitations were a lot more fun.
IMO Roddick did it better. He stuffed the towel down the back of his pants! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bimn1a6B0gU
The reason I really started liking Djoker. I'm glad he does it once in a while. Atleast he mans up and shows his colors and not afraid of what others think. Fed and Nadal don't really show their true characters to the outside world. If they did nobody would like them! Their fake smile and Fake praise for the opponents and all the BS.... *******s are freakin used to all this formal ****. I say that they cannot look into the funny side of tennis anymore coz of their annoying FORMAL idol!
some of you Fed fans need to relax, like really.. Nole is not an actor, he is the best player in the world and find this video funny but some of you don't have any sense of humor.
the bold part is actually true. Arrogant Federina and Humblito (watch how Nadal behaved at Wimbledon against Rosol. Novak should get paid to to teach them both how to be humble. . Fed can not learn anythhing. His ego is too big. There is some hope for Rafa tho.

It also covers First Communions. And it's less exploitative and creepy than the hacky name might lead you to believe.AdvertisementIt's actually an interesting (albeit superficial) look at a culture deeply rooted in tradition. And, yes, the weddings are epic. But while the show's description would suggest that the producers hope to bring new understanding to misunderstood populations, apparently it's led to some culture shock, too. We often look askance at the Daily Mail's moral outrage, but it's true that, "traditional" or not, one thing showcased in a recent episode about a Traveller wedding is pretty upsetting.Although — or perhaps because — they do not date or mingle with the opposite sex ("The young women must be very careful that they don't dishonor themselves and their families," as one guy explains it) in the words of the tab,Until they are engaged, teenage traveller girls are subjected to the 'grabbing' courtship ritual, which sees boys angling for a kiss. Strict rules stipulate girls aren't allowed to approach boys, so it's up to the males, aka the 'grabbers', to tempt the girl away from her group of friends and try to get a kiss off her, even sometimes going as far as twisting her arm. Explaining the ritual, 15-year-old traveller Cheyenne explains: 'It means they like a girl and want to get their number.'Cheyenne later says, "It's not nice at all, but you just got to live with it."SponsoredIt's very hard to duck into a culture — a TV program's version thereof, no less — and understand anything about it. But the "grabbing" doesn't look like something the girls themselves enjoy — rather, they just feel there's no alternative. And when you consider that traveller girls are often engaged as young as 14 — those are some very young girls being "grabbed." Young women on the program talk about the security of their community and traditions — but clearly, like so many issues, it's complex.Revealed: The Bizarre Secrets Of Courtship In My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding [Daily Mail]Reply203 repliesLeave a reply

Hump Day Hottie: Julia Hurley
This state senator from Tennessee is a former Hooters gal. She also knows a few neat rope tricks.
What better experience could you have for serving your constituents than by serving them spicy wings and ice cold pitchers of Miller Genuine Draft? That's the question now asked by Julia Hurley, the newly elected state representative from Tennessee who just a few years ago donned the skin tight lycra shorts and aptly-named T of a Hooters gal. In our book that already puts her ahead of Christine O'Donnell and Michele Bachmann. We'd gladly sit through a filibuster from this 29-year-old filly.
However, we understand she has one regret: leaving Hooters before getting the chance to sleep with Tiger Woods. Maybe after her days in the statehouse are over.

Meet the Agent Who Protected Presidents, the Popemobile, and the Factual Accuracy of "Olympus Has Fallen"
In Olympus Has Fallen (FilmDistrict, 118 min.), highly trained and well-armed North Korean terrorists storm the White House, murder nearly every Secret Service agent in Washington, DC, and take the president hostage in the underground command center. The terrorists explode large chunks of the White House, tear down its American flag in particularly heinous fashion, kill a lot of innocent civilians, and knock over the Washington Monument in the process. And a lone agent (played by Gerard Butler) is the only one who can save the day, mostly by using sharp objects, assault weapons, and Die Hard-emulating trash-talk.
Given that the real-life White House is fairly well protected—maybe with lasers—and hasn't been burned down since the British invaded in 1814, this film isn't going to win awards for realism. (The assumption of such paramilitary competence on the part of the North Koreans is also really, really funny.)
But even the most intentionally unrealistic action movies aim to get some details right. The Core, a 2003 sci-fi disaster movie about scientists who travel to the center of the Earth to set off nukes, had its very own scientific consultant. And Olympus Has Fallen director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Tears of the Sun) sought out a good deal of Washington and Secret Service advice on how to craft his thriller. One of the technical consultants was Joe Bannon, a former special agent with the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice in Los Angeles, where he also worked as an allied agent with the Secret Service.
Bannon now teaches presidential and heads of state protection—as well as a form of martial arts that combines "ancient Shaolin Wisdom with Modern Medical Science"—at the Bannon Institute of Martial Arts and Executive Security International in Colorado. And as brawny as that may sound, when he talks about protective services, Bannon blends religious convictions and psychological maxims. "I understand the terrorist mindset [of] willing to lay down their life for what they believe in," Bannon told me. "Not that I agree with any attack on the United States or the White House, but I have to respect that value."
In his long career as a special agent assisting the Secret Service, Bannon says he served on protection details for George W. Bush, the Clintons, the Gores, Ted Kennedy, Dianne Feinstein, the Saudi royal family, the first family of Kurdistan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Pope John Paul II. "I provided close-quarter protection for the Popemobile when he gave a service at Mission Dolores in San Francisco in 1987," Bannon said. "I helped him down the stairs of the Popemobile and he smiled at me and touched me on the shoulder. Everyone wanted to rub my shoulder after that to get, like, a blessing out of me."
Bannon came to Hollywood by way of Fuqua. They were introduced through Bannon's then partner Paul, who had advised Fuqua on 2001's Training Day starring Denzel Washington. Bannon has since consulted or advised the director on movies such as Tears of the Sun, starring Bruce Willis, and Shooter, starring Mark Wahlberg (Bannon's background as a sniper came in handy for that second one). "Antoine is such a passionate guy for accuracy and detail," Bannon says. "He is very patriotic. He does an incredible amount of research for his movies."
For Olympus Has Fallen, Bannon coached star Gerard Butler on how to portray super-agent Mike Banning—while, as Bannon is quick to point out, "not giving away any classified protocol." Bannon was pleased to learn that Butler came prepared with hand-to-hand and firearm training from films like Gamer, Machine Gun Preacher, RocknRolla, The Bounty Hunter, and that movie your college roommates wouldn't stop quoting loudly. The ex-special agent took Butler out to a firing range with machine guns and live ammunition, reviewed hand-to-hand stances, and spent hours talking to him about what it is like to protect a president. He emphasized how serving as a protector should be treated as a sacred "service to humanity and service to god."
"Gerard already had that discipline, and he's a good shot!" Bannon recalls. "He was a sponge to learning. He was an absolute pleasure to work with...and we immediately connected when we met. He told me he saw a certain passion and intensity in my eyes that he really liked."
Bannon also shared a personal anecdote that Butler used to more fully comprehend his character's psychology. Toward the beginning of the film, the president's motorcade gets thrown off a bridge due to an unforgiving snowstorm near Camp David. Agent Banning is forced to make the snap decision to save the president's (Aaron Eckhart) life, while allowing the First Lady (played by potential Senate candidate Ashley Judd) to plummet to an icy grave. The president, who now cannot look at Banning without thinking of his wife's tragic demise, has the agent reassigned off of his detail. Bannon says he has his own "president-on-the-bridge story": In 1996, Bannon was a San Francisco police officer involved in a controversial state-initiated raid on the Cannabis Buyers' Club, which served AIDS patients, and, Bannon says, was reassigned following a public-relations nightmare. "I did my job, but I took a lot of heat for it," he says. "Gerard Butler on the bridge did his job, and he was reassigned, too."
Recently, Bannon got to attend the gala premiere of Olympus Has Fallen. He's happy with the part he played: "I got a say to preserve the integrity and the realism of my profession."

I've written several times over the past few years about how the Express newspaper is part of my daily commute. It's a good source for headlines, highlights of area events, and entertainment news. It's also fun to find errors which occur regularly in the paper. Usually, the errors involve spacing problems or articles that end in the middle of the sentence, but there are sometimes larger mistakes like claiming that Kennywood is in Philadelphia.
Yesterday's edition featured a new type of error. Click on the picture to see if you can find it.

I've got the G2 4G from T-Mobile. Yeah, you can't really go wrong with the latest gen Android phones. They are fantastic, and if you don't mind Google's evil empire, Google Voice is one of the greatest inventions ever. I like T-Mobile because they have some of the greatest contract rates around. You get a lot for your money with them. Now that they are being bought out by AT&T, I'm not sure what the future of that will be though.
"In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived."

text: The Texan wrote seeking "the true story on halibut fishing at Homer." He had heard from friends who are here and friends who have fished Homer and left that "(t)he halibut fishing in Homer is very poor. The halibut are very small, yellowish and mushy." After acknowledging that he realizes tourists are important to Homer businesses, he gets to the point: "We do not want to spend $5,000 and travel 9,000 miles from Texas to get to Homer and find out the fishing is terrible. Please advise us if you will, please." We're not in the travel-advising business, but the Texan's query has caused us to ponder anew topics like fishing and traveling and hospitality and conservation. On fishing: With Alaska Department of Fish and Game emergency orders closing Kenai Peninsula rivers and streams and some salt waters to king fishing, halibut fishing looks like the best fishing for miles and miles around. But, remember, it's called fishing, not catching. Most anglers have experienced the disappointment of good fishing (and catching) all around them, while they go home skunked. Did the skunked angler enjoy the company of good friends, good conversation, jaw-dropping vistas? Well, it wasn't a wasted day. Some folks never have that experience. On traveling: Let's face it, traveling is a gamble. If you travel to Alaska, maybe, you'll get a week or two of those postcard-blue days; then, again, maybe it won't stop raining until you take your seat on your return flight home. Maybe, you'll see moose, bear and whales oh, my; or, maybe, the only wildlife you'll be able to write home about are the biggest mosquitoes you've ever laid eyes on. Travelers who pin their hopes on one particular thing when they visit a new place no matter where they are headed and what the main event is are likely to be disappointed. Anyone set on dividing the number of pounds of fish they catch into the money spent to get to Alaska and go fishing will be eating some pretty expensive fish. It's hard to justify the cost. And it's likely all those anglers will talk about when they get home is how much that fish cost them. On hospitality: Just like the worth of a day can't be measured by the weather, a trip to Alaska is much more than how many fish are caught or how many eagles can be counted. Call us crazy, but we think the Alaska experience has more to do with close-up encounters with the people who live in this unique state than it has to do with close-up encounters with bears and eagles and fish. The one thing that's most likely to make or break someone's visit here is how they're treated. Bad day fishing? Most charter captains can entertain their guests in such a way that fish are the icing on the cake, not the main course. Bad weather dampening spirits? How can that be when Alaskans know there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear? Isn't it still possible for a lively discussion to brighten any day? The bottom line: Sure, the fishing restrictions are disappointing. And they will eventually hurt all of us not just those who sport fish or commercial fish or subsistence fish. But those tasked with the responsibility of keeping Alaska's fisheries healthy have to act in the best interests of the fish, not the people who depend on them. Ultimately, it's far better to have some closures than it is to have no fish.

EA's launch of its latest online only entry in the Sim City franchise did not go smoothly, as the game's servers were immediately strained to their breaking point. The publisher's controlled review environment for the game also meant press reviews couldn't give consumers an accurate picture the game under real world conditions, further adding to the outpouring of confusion and frustration players are now venting on Twitter.
"Due to the high demand for SimCity, Origin has experienced delays impacting a small percentage of users," EA said via its Twitter account. "We're working non-stop to resolve.
"We're making changes to prevent further issues and are confident that Origin will be stable for international launches later this week."

CGG's experience reaps another complex survey in Yemen
CGG is to conduct a 3D seismic survey in block 10 in Yemen for TotalFinaElf. Operating conditions on the 195 km2 survey are likely to be extremely complicated given the difficulty in accessing this region.
The crew will therefore rely heavily on helicopters and operate with light portable drilling units and the new Sercel 408 recorder. The lightweight of this new system is expected to lead to significant productivity gains on such a large-scale heliportable survey.
The acquisition work is due to take two and a half months and commence in mid-December. CGG currently has three crews operating in Yemen.

Kono S o, Mi yo!
---- This is an interesting series that has some good story and drama to it. And I have to say, it's had some great twists so far. Spoiler for Chapter 22:

Kono S wo Mi yo ranks on top of the seinen batch of manga Im currently reading which includes Hetakoi, Velvet Kiss, and Nozoki Ana. The concept of the story is similar to Kitazaki Takus previous manga, Sakuranbo Syndrome and Cupid no Itazura Nijidama with a different twist added in. I also like the tattoo concept where its a gift and a curse. Best thing about the manga is Kitazaki Taku's character designs. Love how he draws women in their 20's/30's.

Loved Sakuranbo Syndrome, even with its rather shitty ending. Kitazaki does some really good romance stuff.
I just finished reading Vol.5 of Kono S o Mi yo!, it finally delivered some explanations for Chizuru's irritating behaviour. Still hope Rin ends up with his childhood friend though. |

Kono S wo Mi certainly has an interesting premise. I liked how in the early chapters Rin went about experimenting with the limits of his powers; that's certainly how I would go about doing it . I'm also liking how someone else is using his powers for her own benefit (and amusement?).
I'll definitely like to see how things develop and if there are any new twists. Spoiler for Random Thoughts:

Sorry about being so late with this, I went on vacation so I didn't have a chance to do it.
Anyway, here's a pretty short/basic summary. Spoiler:
Sorry about it being messy, I wrote that all at once and didn't bother to edit it. Anyway, Vol 6 has alot of really nice panels of Makoto and tons of great looks/cute faces for her. Makoto's my favorite character in this Kitazaki series and I love all the time he spent on her. Last edited by Shouta; 2011-05-03 at 09:55. |

Manga is definitely not going to wind down. There's been no resolution the origin of the Stigma and no real resolution to who Rin will end up with. Then there's still Takako and Risa around too. I suspect the manga will run as long as Sakuranbo will with how the story is being paced.

The stigma is being treated as if were a macguffin of sorts, I think. Similar to the other works of the author from the Cupid series (a mysterious male fertility disease, an age regressing disease, a super accurate spouse-matching program, and so on...), the stigma is just there to drive the plot while staying out of the actual human drama.
I won't be surprised if it doesn't get fully explained in the end. |

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/December 20, 2010
From Wikiquote
We have reversed the usual classical notion that the independent "elementary parts" of the world are the fundamental reality, and that the various systems are merely particular contingent forms and arrangements of these parts. Rather, we say that inseparable quantum interconnectedness of the whole universe is the fundamental reality, and that relatively independent behaving parts are merely particular and contingent forms within this whole.

Wizards War Review
It's not easy for a lot of independent developer to come up with the next big 'it' game for the App Store, but dedication, skill and passion is almost always evident regardless of the final outcome. Wizards War by solo developer Pedro Morales is a neat, simple up-to-four-player board game that pits wizards and their summoned minions against each other in a duel to the death. The first and most important thing to remember is that your wizard is the only thing keeping you, as a player,…

This morning revealed that Sony has a couple of film projects in the works, each based on one of the company's PlayStation brands. One of those films, and the one taking the lion's share of the attention this morning, is the newly announced Ratchet & Clank film. The one that barely got mentioned outside of a quick note in a Variety article talking about the Ratchet & Clank film is Heavenly Sword, the PlayStation 3 exclusive action game from Ninja Theory.
Both will be computer animated films, produced by Blockade Entertainment, the studio behind the recent animated adventure Escape from Planet Earth. While it's not clear from the story who will be animating the Heavenly Sword movie, the Ratchet & Clank film is currently in animation production at Rainmaker Entertainment.
According to the Variety article, the R&C movie is intended to be an origin story of sorts, aimed at appealing to a mass audience who might not be intimately familiar with Insomniac's game series. However, the film will retain the primary voice talent from the games, including James A. Taylor, David Kaye and Jim Ward.
The Ratchet & Clank film is currently scheduled to hit theaters in 2015. Heavenly Sword doesn't appear to have a targeted release date, but is planned for a direct-to-video release. I've embedded the first teaser trailer for Ratchet & Clank below, if you want to see some "Duck Amuck" style goofiness featuring Ratchet, Clank, and Qwark.

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that ABC Food is an innovative teaching app about different types of food, from fruits and vegetables to sweets. The app links to YouTube videos that are curated by the Peapod Labs staff and are chosen to be interesting and safe for kids, and there are also some foods that have interactive parts so kids can play with the foods. The app teaches the alphabet using images and videos and allows kids to jump to new words by tapping the letters.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
Is it any good?
All of Peapod Labs' ABC Explorers apps have been a fun way for kids to learn their letters, but ABC FOOD adds a new element of interactivity. The app has a grid of letters and words, and each one reveals a food item and its name with a photograph. Tapping on any letter of the word will jump to a new word that starts with that letter. Some of the foods are accompanied by YouTube videos as before, but others let kids play with the food: chopping up a cucumber, for instance, or peeling an apple. It's a very fun way for kids to explore both the ABCs and foods.
The app is designed to be kid-friendly and is very nicely done, with a great selection of photographs and videos. It is extremely easy to use, so even very young children could learn to play with it, but the food play and videos will hold the interest of some older kids too.

The Collaboration Song "Good Love" Between the American Singer Songwriter Michelle Branch and Rihwa Now Available on iTunes!
Mar 4th 2013The American singer songwriter Michelle Branch and the Japanese singer songwriter Rihwa worked on a collaboration song, "GOOD LOVE", which is now available on the iTunes stores of 112 countries!
Michelle Branch has debuted in 2001 with the album "THE SPIRIT ROOM", released by the label Maverick Record, supervised by Madonna. She was 18 at the time. The 3 hit tracks "Everywhere", "All You Wanted" and "Goodbye To You" have sold more than 4,000,000 copies around the world and 350,000 copies in Japan only. She got the Grammy Award for "The game of love" with Santana and she is one of the most appreciated singer songwriter at the moment.
Rihwa got to know the music of Michelle Branch 6 years ago, while studying in Canada and Michelle's talent fascinated her. It was Rihwa who made the offer to Michelle for a duet. Michelle, knowing that Rihwa too is a singer songwriter sharing with her the passion for Sheryl Crow's music, made this wonderful collaboration possible.
Michelle Branch and Rihwa had an intense exchange about the form the song should take. It was finally Michelle Branch who composed "GOOD LOVE" with a country taste, a genre much loved by Rihwa. The result is a duet song where the taste of country music is tuned with country rock and English lyrics.
〜The singers' comment 〜
Rihwa's comment: "When I was studying at High School in Canada I chose to sing Michelle's "All you wanted" in my vocal training class because it fit my taste. I was not even imagining that one day I could sing with Michelle.
I started music because I was moved by its power to connect people beyond language. Michelle and I were connected by music and we met. Now I am more convinced of what I felt when I started my activity as a musician.
This collaboration is the realization of a dream! We recorded separately, exchanging data, but I'd love to perform live with Michelle! If she agrees with that, I'll reach her wherever she is!
I'm very happy, one of the songwriter I respect the most composed a song adapting it to me. I'll sing it with all the emotions and the happiness that made this happen."
Michelle Branch's comment:
"Music is so powerful. It can cross barriers and bring people together. When I heard Rihwa was a fan, I was very flattered.
I think one of the biggest perks of being an artist is having the opportunity to collaborate with other artists. I can't wait to meet Rihwa. We recorded our parts separately in Los Angeles and Japan. I love hearing her voice on this song and I hope Japanese fans enjoy it too!"
Don't miss this wonderful collaboration between Michelle Branch and Rihwa. Check "GOOD LOVE with Michelle Branch" (short version) on YouTube.

My co-worker Stephen Edelson passed on a bit of news that Neptune boys basketball coach Ken O'Donnell had heart surgery last Wednesday and was in the ICU until Sunday.
O'Donnell has been the boys basketball coach at Neptune for the last 17 years, including leading the Scarlet Fliers to the NJSIAA Group III state title last year.
O'Donnell is also the league commissioner for the Jersey Shore Basketball League.
My take: Ken O'Donnell has been a tremendous asset to the Shore Conference basketball scene and to me personally as a reporter here at the Asbury Park Press. I can always get a honest, straight forward answer out of O'Donnell on anything concerning basketball at the high school level. I'm hoping O'Donnell makes a speedy recovery and is back on the basketball court real soon.

The Speech. I've seen the Inaugural Address, listened to the frequently played excerpts, listened to and read commentary--most of which doesn't seem to be about the speech I saw and heard. I mean from anybody.
I definitely heard the vocal timbre, the cadences and delivery of Obama's most famous speeches--his 2004 Dem convention speech and his "Yes We Can" speech after the New Hampshire primary in 2008. There were clear echoes of both in the content. So what is surprising people? I even went back to a 2005 speech he gave at the commencement at Knox College in Galesburg, where I once roamed but did not commence. It's more specific but along the same lines, and even some of the vocabulary and repeated phrases are similar: "We chose to act, and we rose together." Action, act, together--very prominent anchors in the Inaugural. Actually I'll bet he's sorry if he forgot that specific 2005 phrase, it's got the kind of music to it you'd want to play again.
I'm sure he's sincere about leading on responding to climate change. But the conventional wisdom that he's going to approve the Keystone pipeline is depressing.
The South is Rising Again. Here's the perfect example: on Inauguration Day, the Virginia senate took advantage of the absence of one of the Dems--a Civil Rights era hero who attended the Inaugural--for a blitzkrieg passage of a redistricting plan nobody had seen before, that gerrymandered the state further so the Dems would be in a perpetual minority. Then they adjourned--not in honor of the Inaugural, nor in honor of Martin Luther King Day, but in honor of the birthday of the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson.
This is where it's going: the GOP is becoming a white supremacist party located ideologically as well as mostly geographically in the Confederacy. They're busy trying to turn their deep South sections of PA, Ohio etc. into rural fiefdoms that will not only take control of the states but of the nation for the white supremacist minority. And if you try to get in their way, well, what do you really think all those guns are for? The federal government they see as the enemy is the one that enforces Civil Rights, voting rights and related laws. They're openly talking nullification even more than secession. The Party of No, the rigidly ideological party that had worked hard to make political positions out of recognizing or not recognizing facts, it's all just media prep: it's the war between the states of reality.
Roe. On the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Rachel's latest report on abortion in America focused on the primary fact that has almost always gotten lost in the debate: before abortion was legal, death by botched illegal abortion was a leading cause of death for American women of childbearing age. Today, legal abortion is safer than childbirth, and isn't even in the top 100 causes of death in that age bracket. Illegal abortion was a public health nightmare, and we don't need to reacquire one. We're going to have enough public health problems in the climate crisis future, even if we don't yet recognize the ones we have in the present.

Red Ring (The Legend of Zelda)
From Zelda Dungeon Wiki
Red Ring
Games | ||
Location | ||
Uses | Reduces damage by one quarter[1] | |
Related |
The Red Ring is an obtainable item found in The Legend of Zelda. The ring is an upgrade to the Blue Ring, and is one of two main items found in Level 9: Death Mountain, with the other being the Silver Arrow. The Red Ring has one use: it cuts down damage dealt to Link by enemies to a quarter compared to his original tolerance.[1] This is shown through a change in Link's tunic. The Red Ring changes his tunic to a brownish-reddish color, compared to the iconic green. This item is very helpful in the last dungeon, as enemies are abundant throughout it. In the Second Quest, the Red Ring is still found in the final dungeon of the game.

Strokes of genius
After-school rowing program for girls builds confidence and character
Brian Gibbons
Brian Gibbons
Brian Gibbons
"Stay in time. Exact! Exact! Exact! Pick up the force!"
The calm waters of Meadow Lake in Queens come to life as four teams of rowers propel their flotilla of boats toward an invisible finish line more than three-quarters of a mile away. Under the direction of their coxswains, the women who make up the four- and eight-member teams are a flurry of unified motion as they power their shells toward their destination.
As the sun sets through the trees of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the work is just beginning for members of Row New York, who are perfecting their mechanics in preparation for an upcoming regatta. Thanks to the precision with which their oar blades hit the water, the only sound you can hear is the motor of coach Michael Eichler's boat as he maneuvers in and out of their formation.
"Set the body! Straight line!" he says through his megaphone. "Let's put some power into these strokes! Let's jam it!"
The 100-plus girls who participate in Row New York's after-school program at Meadow Lake represent more than 25 Queens middle and high schools. They're on the water five or six days a week in boats with names like Presto, Title IX and Sotomayor, in honor of the Bronx-born Supreme Court justice, and they're learning not just the sport of rowing, but also confidence, determination and teamwork.
"Our group is amazing; it's a family," said Jacqueline Rodas, a first-year varsity member and sophomore at Information Technology HS. "I've learned responsibility; I've learned how to trust my teammates."
"My hope for all of these girls," said coach Eichler, "is for them to leave here confident, not only in their own abilities, but in their ability to look at this boathouse, their teammates and friends and say, 'We can do this together.'"
The work continues off the water as well, with one day a week set aside for academics, including SAT and Regents prep, at the Row New York offices.
"Based on what courses the girls are taking and what they need help in, they are working with tutors to finish their school- work and foundational reading, writing and math skills," said Jennie Trayes, Row New York's director of programs and operations.
"This program keeps you in shape, and it keeps you focused in school," said Monique Avin, a senior at the Academy for College Preparation & Career Exploration and a third-year rower. "They expect you to be in college, and that's definitely the right goal."
In fact, the dozen or so regattas that the Row New York teams travel to on weekends are paired with college visits — a perfect way to expose the students to higher education.
Hundreds of girls from Queens try out each year for the coveted slots. This fall, the program has expanded to a second boathouse on the Harlem River, where the organization is recruiting a new crop of students in Manhattan and the Bronx.
The racing shells, as they are known, range up to 60 feet in length. The rowers face backward on a sliding seat and use their legs and arms to power the oars, while the coxswain steers the boat and calls out commands. Precision is everything as the rowers balance low in water, tackle wind resistance, and work on the timing and teamwork it takes to move and turn the boat.
"This sport focuses you," said Avin. "Once you're out in the water, you think about nothing else except getting this done."
The after-school program is only one component of Row New York's offerings. Trayes works with schools to bring the program indoors during the winter months, reaching another 2,000 students.
"We bring in rowing machines and other equipment for four or six weeks and set it all up right inside school gyms," she said.
The organization's District 75 Adaptive School Day program and its Middle School Indoor Rowing program take place during gym class.
Eichler said that character building is the essence of the program.
"We are empowering young women not only to do better in school and better in a sport, but also to achieve great success in their lives," he said. "That can be a great complement to their schoolwork, their learning in the classroom, and to all the efforts that teachers put into these students."
Teachers and parents who want to learn more about Row New York and the programs they offer can contact Jennie Trayes at email@example.com.

Terrahawks unseen SFX rushes on YouTube
I've just been sent a link to this on You-Tube Its a selection of film clips showing the raw effects footage being shot on various 'Terrahawks' episodes. No idea where it has come from - has anyone ever seen this stuff before? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf5JO...89ALT1fRYgAAAA |
Yep - I have. I found it !
I discovered a box full of film cans under a stall on a visit to the Portobello Road market about ten years ago. Someone had salvaged them from a skip while they were working at Bray Studios. On closer examination I found they were labelled with Anderson Burr stickers, I managed to buy the lot in partnership with another fan whose name I won't mention for now in case he'd prefer me not to. The cans mainly consisted of 16mm out-takes and stock footage filmed by the special effects unit that was saved during production for potential use in later episodes and covers a variety of set-ups and vehicles. I managed to edit all the footage together into about three reels of film, and some of this - which I imagine is the material featured on the Youtube clip, although I haven't checked - was provided for use on the Terrahawks collector's edition set. I had the impression it was fairly well known that I'd found this material, but it must have been less publicised than I thought. Interesting to see it with the unused music - thanks for posting the link. |

Thank you

A lot of people ask me why I call myself an impatient optimist.
I'm optimistic because of the courage I see in women around the world who are fighting for a better life for themselves and their families.
And I'm impatient because every single second is precious when our work is making sure all women can achieve their dreams.
For this reason I am in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the 2013 Women Deliver conference this week. Thousands of advocates are here, talking about how we all work together to unlock the amazing potential of women and girls. While I am here, I look forward to the stories about brave women and girls. Since the London Summit on Family Planning in July 2012, I've heard from so many about one particular issue—how contraceptives have changed their lives. I'd love to share a few that have particularly moved me.
I hope that these stories inspire you too and that you'll join me and raise your voice for women and girls.
Yune was 20 when she got married and she became pregnant with her first child almost straight away. After the birth, she confided in a neighbour that she didn't want to have another child too soon. But she wasn't sure what she could do. Her neighbour told her about the family planning services she could access at the centre in her compound. On her first visit to the centre Yune was welcomed by Prudence, the care provider who runs the clinic five days a week. She was counselled on a range of family planning methods and decided upon the injection: "I chose the injection because it lasts for three months. You can't forget to take it like you can with the pill." When asked what she'd do if care wasn't here, she laughed: "it would be the end of the world".Yune from Zambia (as told to Charlie Shoemaker)
I come from India. Women, especially from the backward classes of society have no say in regard to marriage, sex, and birth control. Sex education is non-existent, awareness among women regarding contraception is minimal, and the choice to use it is for a very few. I'm 22, unmarried, and the only reason I know about contraception is because I'm on my way to becoming a healthcare worker. I feel empowered because I know that the choice of having children will be in my hands when I get married. I wish all the women in India (and the world) would be able to plan on having children the same way. The sheer amount of unplanned pregnancies we see in our clinics and the complications arising from them are simply horrifying. And when something like contraception exists to tackle this problem, we should do whatever we can to spread the message, spread awareness and make contraception readily available to every woman desirous of using it.Anonymous, India
Contraceptives gave me the possibility to have two wonderful sons when both my partner and I were ready for them. We feel more able to take care of them now, then we were before. I am sure that their lives are better, because of this. Anonymous, Netherlands
My name is Saru, and I'm a community health volunteer. I wake up at 4am every morning to feed the cattle and begin chores. I have to look after my kids, one son and three daughters, because I can't afford to send them to school. I cannot describe the pain I felt when I lost my son. The pain is unbearable. He simply died of diarrhea without us knowing that we should have given him water. And we didn't have the money to take him to the hospital. He was crying for water when he died. So I thought, I've lost my son, I should do something so my fellow villagers don't go through a trauma like that. So I decided to become a volunteer, to teach about their children's health and family planning. Saru, Nepal

P.S. I think you miss a lot of comments because of word verification. It kicks me up to the top of your page after I comment and I have to scroll down and put in the verification. And sometimes I forget to scroll down and put it in because I get distracted by something on your sidebar and then I click out. Just an FYI ;) It could just be me.I went to Coachella in 2006 and had a great time even though I worked a beer tent for 12 hours each day. I still got to sneak away and catch bands I wanted to see (like Metric) and at the end of our grueling shifts, we partied, made tons of dough and caught teh final acts altogether. I danced my butt off to Daft Punk one night - so memorable!
Thanks for reading!
Due to overwhelming spam comments, I had to turn on word verification. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope you will still leave a thought!

Too young? She's been a paid actress for 46 years while transitioning from commercials to kid movies to adult roles to director. Throw in a handful of awards, and that sounds like a decent "lifetime" to me. I missed Carnage, but The Beaver was a pretty decent movie.
Plus, I say inna t'ee inna way about once a week; which should count for something. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it at some point in her career or that the longevity of her work thus far shouldn't be admired. I just feel like, at 49, there's probably still a lot more she's going to do, whereas there are people like Robert Duvall, Mel Brooks, Angela Lansbury, Peter O'Toole and more that are deserving of this kind of award and probably ought to receive it sooner rather than later given their ages.

Zhang Jingming's Lucky Day
Zhang Jingming works at the Dahon Bicycle factory in Shenzhen, China assembling bicycle seats. He was recently given a raise from $1.32 to $1.45 for every bike seat he produces. He works forty five hours per week, and the more seats he can churn out , the more money he will make. Since his raise in August he has seen his monthly pay increase to $263.00. Yes, that is monthly. Like most mass produced goods manufactured in China, it is not about quality but of speed. What would motivate Zhang to assemble a bike seat and make sure it was properly made, bolts tightened, cover secured, etc?, well nothing. That would take time and that would cost Zhang lost wages. I don't think he really cares, or his plant manager, if you or your son or daughter wreck their bike due to a seat malfunction. But the really scary part is, in this same factory under the same wage structure, workers are assembling rims, handlebars, brake components, and finally assembling the bike itself. As a matter of fact, about 90% of bicycles sold here in America are made this way in China, Taiwan, or Japan. Next time you ride your bike take a look at where it was made. If your bike has a sticker that says "Assembled in the USA" that just means that certain components were not installed in China, but left off to be installed in the US in order to legally claim that the bike was "assembled" in the US. Like maybe the kick stand and that sticker that says "Assembled in the US."
1 comment:
Its an interesting conundrum - its hopeful to think that when purchasing a Dahon, you are helping someone earn a living and feed his family - if you didn't, could he? Should he be paid more? Yes - but like cheap airline flights, its what is the cheapest that seems to be the "best", no worry as to fair wages, safety etc. I wonder if a movement such as "Fair Trade For Bicycles" could happen in the same way that has happened for "Fair Trade For Coffee", where the coffee growers and pickers are ensured a fair wage for their product?

Recap | Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Utah State is 7-1 to start a season for the first time since 2008-09, winning its sixth-straight game.
Utah State has out-rebounded every opponent this season and improve to 7-1 on the season when out-rebounding its opponent. However with USU's 41-33 rebounding margin at +8, it was the closest rebounding margin by an opponent this season and first game without a double-double rebounding margin.
The Aggies' nine total blocked shots is a season-best and the most since Nov. 21, 2003 at home against Fort Lewis College when Utah State posted nine blocks in an 86-54 win.
USU's nine blocks Saturday was also a Gossner Tournament record, topping the previous mark of eight by Western Michigan in 2010 against Troy.
Utah State's 23 made free throws Saturday ties a season-high, matching 23 from the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi game, and the 34 free throw attempts is a season-high.

USU is 85-23 (.787) during the month of December under Morrill, which includes a 71-2 (.973) record at home.

USU is now 6-0 this year and has won 72 of its last 74 games (.973) when leading at the half. Over the last 13 years, USU is 279-25 (.918) when leading at the half and 46-76 (.377) when trailing at the half including a 0-1 (.000) record this year.
Saturday was the Aggies first game this season with less than a double-digit rebounding margin.
The last time Utah State had two players record a double-double on the same night was on Dec. 11, 2010 at home against Cal State Bakersfield, when Nate Bendall and Tai Wesley both recorded double-digits in points and rebounds. USU won the game 77-58.
Senior forward Kyisean Reed recorded a season-high 20 points to go along with a career-high 12 rebounds. It was Reed's fourth double-double of the season, tying him for the most on the team (four) and the 22nd of his career.

State to San Diego fishermen: Drop dead
Recreational fishing closed off during massive study
Ken Harrison 1:55 p.m., March 28
A 20 year old Tijuana native is in custody after allegedly killing seven victims in Baja California Sur. The victims were found in two mass graves, outside of the city of La Paz, early in the week of June 9. The suspect, Simón Guillermo Hernández Peña, allegedly confessed to the crimes after being questioned by authorities. The suspect stated he killed and buried the victims in order to prevent them from snitching on him for crimes they committed together. Authorities have stated the group allegedly sold narcotics and committed robberies in the area.
Two of the seven victims were women. According to the Organización Editorial Mexicana, three victims have been officially identified, ranging in age from 19 to 27.
According to state authorities, Hernández Peña was born in the Tijuana CERESO prison. His parents were apparently both inmates and he lived there until his 6th birthday.

But then I like Forte-san a lot too, I'm surprised she's taking lead now. never thought she was this popular. But then Forte-san is my second favorite next to Mint, so I'm happy to see her leading over Digiko and Mielfeulle *hiding from tons of incoming bricks* |

I dub Forte, Ranpha, and Mint the "Greedy Trio"...their antics are hilarious, but I only like them a lot as a group (of course, I like Mint on her own as well). |

Don't forget the cliff hanger episode; the Blancmanche family is very distinguished indeed!~ Oh, and recently in episode 4, Mint activated Domo-kun face: Spoiler:

No one posted the CGs for Milfeulle because EVERYONE on the forum has played her storyline (the saddest/most melodramatic in GAEL). |

"...only +1 rep point so far, eh...?" . Quote:
As for why Mint wears the bunny ears all the time...my theory is that other than wanting to look deceptively cuter than she already is, Mint wears them the same way cigarette addicts use nicotine patches--to satisfy her cosplaying addiction on a regular basis. XD Oh, and they might serve as excellent fans on a hot day according to Ranpha and Forte in 『暑い夏のお話しの巻き』~ . Quote:
The other characters' endings are either "inconclusive" or "open to interpretation." XD As for the official couple...other than the fact that Milfeulle is the lead character, Milfeulle and Tacto happened to be the couple in the manga series, and since the manga and game versions are in the same "universe," I guess you can say they are the official pair... . I kinda feel bad for posting only three Milfeulle screenshots, so here are some more pics of Miru-chan! They are all hyperlinked this time...if I post anymore thumbnails, someone's modem might explode~ Spoiler:

No response at all? >_>;;
Sigh, oh well...I didn't expect many people to be interested in GA on this forum to begin with. Here is the last batch of pictures I'll upload: the GA-related scans from the October issue of Megami. And no, I don't care if this is double-posting. Spoiler:
