Owlkin Frenzy:
I don't think Owlkin Frenzy would be a good area to buff Balance burst damage in PvP. It's very dependent on actually being the one focused. That almost by definition is not "on demand."I agree with Ghostcrawler on this on 100%. I can't speak to it from a PvP perspective, but from a PvE perspective this is not a good option to buff moonkin. On a majority of fights it just does not proc enough to make it useful, and an increased proc rate is unlikely to change that. In the end it would encourage moonkin to take more damage and in general I am not a fan of that.
I also don't think it's a great place to buff them for PvE. There are fights without a lot of predictable raid damage, and void zone diving shouldn't be critical in keeping your dps up. (src)
Even adding something entirely new to the talent isn't a good idea in my opinion. Since Owlkin Frenzy is not a standard PvE talent for moonkin, adding additional functionality to the talent would just cause bloat since we only have 2 spare talent points at the moment.
Glyph of Slow Wrath:
The original poster was making a familiar suggestion that Blizzard add a glyph to increase the cast time and damage of Wrath so that it was better able to scale with Haste. I know I have advocated for this solution in the past, but I am not as confident in it as I once was.The problem I with this glyph if that it creates couple of balancing problems.
I understand the intent and it's clever in a way, but we would be hesitant to introduce a glyph that would actually be a bad glyph for players who weren't capable of benefiting from a bunch of haste. There are some glyphs with a kiss / curse vibe, but usually not this severe, and with a
curse that really isn't a curse when you consider that it lets you benefit more from haste in the long run.
It might make more sense if you tucked it away where only endgame focused players could reach it (like an idol that dropped off an ICC boss), but even then it would almost need a warning label explaining what it was trying to do. (src)
1. What type of Glyph would it be? If it's a major glyph then we have to drop on of our current glyphs and it has to improve our DPS so much that we dont' notice's its loss. This may sound simple, but remember we each have different levels of Haste. Who knows how much the extended cast time will help our DPS due to more useful haste? In the end, a Major glyph may not be a buff at all. A minor glyph could work in my opinion, but I bet it crosses a line for Blizzard that they don't really want crossed. While you could make the glyph DPS neutral, the fact of the matter is millions of players wouldn't see it that way and would ask, "why do moonkin's get a minor glyph that buff's damage?"
2. I've spent the last 3 tiers of content avoiding haste when I gear up. A glyph like this would totally change our Stat Equation and would likely change how we want to gear our toons. At the very least it would mean we want to change how we gem. I'm not sure it is a good idea to so drastically change the conventional wisdom of a class mid expansion and definitely not mid content tier.
All of that said, I found part of GC's comments to be disingenuous. I understand a Glyph of Slow Wrath would be more confusing then your average glyph, but Blizzard has never had a problem implementing Glyphs that would be bad for some players and good for others. Take a look at the Glyph of Moonfire and Glyph of Starfire. These glyphs really only benefit end game raiders, but they don't have a level 80 requirement. I would understand if they said it was to hard to understand much like Armor Pen was to hard to understand, but to say that some people might use it incorrectly is not a good excuse in my opinion.
PvP Burst Increase:
The patch notes are not done. While, frankly, Tranquility is not something we're going to mess with, we do want to add more burst to Balance for PvP purposes. If some of that spills over into PvE for more damage overall, I don't think many druids would complain. (src)
I don't know how to feel about this one. We all know that Moonkin PvP has some issues, and I'm happy that what ever improvements they make may bleed over in to PvE as well. However, I don't want to get my hopes up. Ghostcrawler has said in the past that he thinks Moonkin burst is good for PvP but we lack that last little bit to finish a player off. What this tells me is that they are unlikely to change Starfire or Wrath to improve Moonkin Burst. More likely they will change Moonfire or possibly Typhoon. If that is the case, then it may have a very minor impact on PvE moonkin. We will have to wait and see what comes up.
Blizzard's View of Eclipse:
As I've said before, the goal isn't merely to get you to use Starfire and Wrath. The goal is to have a rotation that is more than just 12121212 or even 111222111222. RNG is something we actually want. The best players should be the ones who can pay attention and react to situations, not
the ones who can mash their keys the fastest (or download the most recent macros).
The biggest problems with Eclipse are:
1) It's too much of a damage increase. Here we see the problem with overbudgeted talents. The RNG wouldn't be an issue if the magnitude of those random rolls wasn't so huge.
2) It suffers too much from movement. Losing an Eclipse proc when you have to run is a problem, particularly given point 1. Now we have no problem with classes taking a dps hit when they have to move and we don't even mind of some specs pay a heavier penalty than others. But it's a problem when the delta between dps when moving and dps when not moving is so great. (src)
This isn't really anything new, but I think it is always better to hear the explanation form the horse's mouth rather then my filter. The two issues he listed are well known. I covered them in my post at WoW.com, and Murmurs and others have covered it multiple times on the forums. The big question is how are they going to fix it?
In my opinion we are unlikely to see any major changes to Eclipse until the Cataclysm is released, but GC's comment did give a small hint in what we are likely to see or not see depending on how you look at it. Ghostcrawler said "The goal is to have a rotation that is more than just 12121212 or even 111222111222. RNG is something we actually want."
In my opinion this means that Eclipse will aways be based on Crit to some extent. You may build up charges as you crit or something like that, but we are not going to get an ability were we can call for a DPS boost on demand with a cooldown. To be completely honest this is just a guess. I can't wait for the Alpha or Beta to see what they have planned.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the 37-year-old Batch will start at quarterback on Sunday in Cleveland and the team brought Burress back to provide depth at wide receiver.
Batch is 5-2 while subbing for Roethlisberger through the years. Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich are both out indefinitely with rib injuries. Batch passed for 208 yards in a 27-0 victory over St. Louis last December.
The Steelers (6-4) are down two receivers at the moment after Jerricho Cotchery fractured his ribs in Sunday night's loss to Baltimore. Antonio Brown has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
Plaxico spent the first five seasons of his career with the Steelers from 2000-2004.

Welcome to the
Visit & Like us on
This GhostBreakers site will undergo a major editing for a while.
The GhostBreakers after many years has realized it must head in a new direction. New information, etc coming soon.
The GhostBreakersThis site is designed as informational for everyone who wants to know more about us and Paranormal Investigating as I see it based on my years of experience. Not just for those who think they may need help for what they are experiencing. We do examinations & investigations but we don't take all that are offered. However, we can put you in touch with an organization in your area if we feel it is warranted.
The GhostBreakers have been around since 1936 in one form or another and is a Paranormal Examination team attempting to evolve for the 21st Century. The GhostBreakers are not ghost hunters nor de-bunkers. They are investigators by profession that have adapted their education and skills to formally investigate and research only high profile cases and documented reports dealing with the paranormal. The GhostBreakers have investigators in Southern New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.In addition to the founder having over 35 years of paranormal investigation experience both domestic and abroad, he is a retired detective with the U.S. armed forces. The GhostBreakers consists of present, former and retired police officers from local, state and federal levels, with over 70 years of combined investigative experience, and formal accredited investigative education that they have adapted to paranormal investigation.
The GhostBreakers is not a social club or entertainment enterprise. They are a serious research group that only accepts certain documented or high profile cases (anonymously). They do not advertise your case or their findings and all information is held in the strictest confidence.
They have an extensive albeit confidential client base. However, they are confident people will be more than satisfied after talking with them. Your case will be evaluated by the founder, and decided on by the group. Should it not fit the acceptance criteria, you will be referred to another investigative group in your area. You will not ever be just ignored or disregarded.
We also belong to a network of fellow investigative groups and can recommend groups in a persons respective area for swift response. GhostBreakers also understands that many people are reluctant to let strangers into their properties regardless of their haunting experiences. GhostBreakers also helps others by advising them on what they can do to help themselves. If this then proves insufficient, GhostBreakers can then set up a preliminary interview or contact another group for them.
We also suggest that people initially contact several organizations and interview each to see which best suits their individual problems or concerns. You would do this if you were looking for a contractor to do work for you. This is no different. In our professional lives we have come across many who are less than honest. We also know that there are a lot of good groups out there. We just suggest you do your homework as you would for anyone you would hire.
Once again... Note:
The GhostBreakers site is in dire need of updating as stated. We would like it to take place all at once so we are changing and adding some areas. Don't get alarmed if you don't see some things for a while. There will also be new pages added before the content. So please bear with us.
You can see some of my true stories on this site and here:
and in many other publications...
Another of my stories will be out in August in a book by Annie Wilder called Trucker Ghost Stories.
Here is the official book cover to look for
Now a little about us...
The GhostBreakers
Our Group
The photo below is the photo the picture in the book was taken from.
Our investigation credo is:
There is no substitute for experience
And no Wisdom with out it
(quote: Kim Kowalczyk 1953 - )
Although we may not follow all the traditional beliefs of other Ghost Hunters etc., we do respect their beliefs and methods and always welcome input or constructive criticism. Believers and skeptics alike. We must remember to separate the Skeptics and Non-believers into separate categories. The definition of a skeptic is: A person not easily persuaded or convinced; doubting and questioning. Non-believers are a different category altogether. They are unwavering in their non-beliefs. Remember the saying...
We are not trying to change anyone's mind or beliefs. We are just expressing our beliefs, and methods and ours may be a little different from time to time. Being different is what makes things interesting anyway.
The explanations of our methods, beliefs, why and how we have broken with tradition, will be discussed and better understood while reading this site. (Well, I hope so) But, if it isn't, send us an email. Some of it may not seem correct to those who are closed minded. Those who are open minded will find us, maybe, a little interesting. This next statement is meant for all Paranormal Investigators. There are a select few that don't agree with my following saying but if you read into it you will understand it's meaning. If not? Contact us and we will tell you, Now, read it, Understand it and you will know why we all keep going...

Labels and the New Version of Blogger
What happened? I finally upgraded to the never version of Blogger. I dreaded doing this not knowing what problems would happen but it went smoothly. All I lost was my visitor counter at the bottom of the blog but that was easily restored. Using Blogger and making changes to the template and to the layout is much easier now.
And I love the ability to finally be able to add labels to posts! This will make it easy for visitors to find other posts on the same topic at this blog. So, I spent most of the weekend putting labels on most of the 900 posts I have created here since 2003. (A few posts were blog maintenance related or had other generic topics which deserved no label.) After a weekend of reviewing posts, I am done. I may change some labels and add more but I am mostly there.
It definitely showed me my interests and biases in history blogging. Here are my top labels:
American History (106)
Europe (85)
Ancient History (69)
Africa (66)
American Presidents (64)
Asia (63)
Roman History (52)
Teaching History (40)
I tend to gravitate to these areas. I will try to broaden out some more so that those areas lower on my label list get better coverage. This is the World History Blog so I do aim to spread my posts out over all areas of the world and to multiple time periods. If any one has any suggestions on how I can improve the label system on this blog, feel free to comment. A full list of my labels is visible on the lower left column of the blog.

How were able to get all the old posts to the new version? I'd like to convert some old blogs to the latest and greatest. Thanks.
- Miland said...
You have to wait until you get the notice on your dashboard. Blogger is phasing this in slowly although eventually everyone will have the opportunity to convert.
- thethar said...
I personally think this is the best blog site I have ever come across. Regardless of the window dressing, 900 quality posts in 3 years is an amazing achievement & speaks for itself.

Thank you.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's tennis team ended the regular tennis season on a mixed note, losing the home match to the University of North Florida 6-1 on Saturday.
Despite the loss, Lipscomb coach Andrew Harris saw some positives from the team's play.
"We really wanted to go out and give the girls a great opportunity today," Harris said. "I think they did a good job of staying focused in the doubles."
Harris complimented the efforts of the doubles team of Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck, who won their match 8-4.
"I think Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck really did a good job in their doubles match – not just getting ahead, but staying on top," Harris said. "And, I think that's going to be a great doubles combination coming for us over the next two years as they continue to grow stronger."
Harris spoke again of Borck's play in the singles, noting her steadfast mindset in her 7-6, 6-3 victory.
"On the singles side, I think that they pressured us early by getting out in front, but a lot of credit goes to Jenny Borck for her match for staying the course," Harris said. "I think Jenny is really going to be a great staple for this group also next year, so I was really proud of her and the way that she showed a lot of mental fortitude in her match."
Harris said that UNF put up a good fight, and that the group has good leadership under North Florida coach Audra Cohen.
"At the end of the day, you've got to give UNF a lot of credit," Harris said. "They're a solid team. Audra does a good job with those girls, and I think they're going to do some good things in the tournament."

According to the poll, as of now, I am the only one who owns no Apple products.

Also with kids entering yer 7 now being given iPads and older student year 10-12 often times getting MacBooks which are overpriced POS in my honest opinion. Not to get into the fact that giving any of these devices to students for daily work is the worst idea ever for several reasons. Come year 12 and final exams there is a 3 hour written english exam and how on earth are students after 6 years of using spell check and keyboards going to manage when it comes to writing a legible essay with pens and paper. Another reason is that it really wasn't that hard to get into my schools "secure" wifi and once one kid knows they all know and then no work gets done.
Sure teaching them how to use computers is great but if that is your aim have regular classes using both apple products and windows as well as possibly getting them in later years into Linux, don't hand them tablets and laptops (especially apple branded overpriced POS)

Proposed Plugins
From PKP Wiki
(Redirected from Plugins)
Ideas for plugins in the near future or in recent development.
- Continuing Education Plugin (See Glenn Hymel's conference presentation.)
- OJS Scholar's Portal / NLM plugin (from UofT)
- "Featured articles" block plugin
- "Most viewed articles" block plugin (in the works JPA)
- Site-wide sidebar plugin in conjunction with the customBlockManager (in the works JPA)
- Categories/countries plugins (assign a country or a category to a journal) (in the works JPA)
- Browse by country/category/alphabetical (with above plugins) (in the works JPA)
- Site statistics block plugin (in the works JPA)
- Latest issues published block plugin (in the works JPA)
- Site/journal homepage plugin (allow the arranging of blocks on the main section of a page, perhaps with drag-and-drop)
- File conversion plugins (e.g. ICE, Docvert, Google Docs, XSLT aka XML galleys, GD, ImageMagick)
- Auto-convert plugin (WAL): allows configurable hooks at points in the workflow (submission upload, review version, layout/galley upload) to create derived format(s) using source_id; trick is enabling 1:n from enabled conversion plugins
- OpenURL plugin (OxS): allow specifying an OpenURL resolver on a per-user basis (or override-able journal default); HTML post-processor to rewrite COinS as OpenURLs
- OpenURL plugin (Harvester): refactor current OJS resolver plugin to support OpenURL 0.1/1.0 syntax; fuzzy searching using lucene etc. if available; allow specifying a default OpenURL resolver for delegating failed requests (with a possible interstitial page, parameters like CrossRef, etc.)
- Thesaurus (tematres integration): Integrates OJS with tematres (a thesaurus management software) letting your authors select keywords from a restricted corpus. URL: http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=4800
Please see Lemon8-XML Roadmap for proposed plug-ins related to document parsing/export and citation parsing/lookup/output
- A Project Management module could be created and made available to all PKP software. It would combine the features of the Subscription Manager with that of a more general business manager. This module would allow hour figures or other costs to be associated with various parts of the workflow (e.g., a journal article's copyediting hours; a conference's keynote speaker's expenses; etc.). Each copyeditor, proofreader, layout editor, etc. would be required to enter the number of hours spent on their work. The hourly costs could be aggregated for a submission, multiplied by a dollar figure, and produce the cost of the article. This could be combined with each article's cost in an issue to produce a cost of issue report. An article's cost could be divided by its views to produce an interesting cost per view feature. This module would also help conference managers to keep careful account of the event's costs vs its funding.

Point of sale (POS) is one of the most important things a retail business needs in order to run properly. It gives you the ability to accept payment from customers for your products and services. Fishbowl, in addition to offering advanced manufacturing and management software, has three POS Kits to meet your needs. These kits include credit card readers, barcode scanners, receipt printers and other hardware.
If you prefer, you can purchase all of the hardware in the above POS kits separately. This is a good option if you need replacement pieces or if you already have a POS system, and you'd like to add more registers to keep up with your growing customer base.

Lift-O-Matic, 40 metre with Ground Spike, Ø 45mm - Metallic Grey is rated out of 5 by 110.Rated 5 out of 5 by Housedoc2911 from Great Features I purchased this approximately a month ago - it is not my first purchase of this clothes line - it is my second and the only reason I have had to purchase another is because I had the other one for 12 years and the line has snapped in places, which I think the sun may have something to do with this perhaps making it brittle. But... after saying that I think 12 years is a long time and because I love the clothes line that much I had to purchase another. I would certainly recommend this product - I don't know what I would do without it. The line holds lots of clothes and also these are far better than just having a 'straight' clothes line and they don't take up much space.Date published: 2016-05-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy B from Delighted of Milton Keynes I've only ever had a 'normal' washing line (45 years of marriage), but because of major work being done in the garden it's no longer possible. I was dead set against a rotary line, thought that air wouldn't be able to circulate and dry the clothes properly, may be difficult to put up. If I had to get one I was determined to buy good quality so I did quite a bit of research on-line and to be honest had never heard of Brabantia. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I'm really surprised how much I like my new Lift-O-Matic! In fact I'm delighted and none of my worries were valid - plenty of space between lines, it moves easily in the wind and really easy to put up, very important as I'm a little short at 4ft 10inch. Anyone looking for a rotary line, and sceptical like me, look no further!Date published: 2014-09-02Rated 5 out of 5 by laundrylady from Best rotary line I have ever owned I purchased this rotary line a few weeks ago and it is absolutely brilliant. It is the fourth Brabatia rotary line I have owned during my married life (40 years this year) but the special features on this one have made it the very best ever for me. I especially value the hooks / spaces to hang garments on hangers out to dry - very special and even though I used hangers on a windy day none of them or the garments blew away! It is so easy to lift and lower, so much better than earlier models I have owned.Date published: 2014-06-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue123 from Easy to put up and light and easy put away First Brabantia line purchased 20 years ago that lasted 16 years. Nothing else compared so just bought second one.. Very light to carry and easy to insert into ground. Simple to put up and down and I will never purchase a rotary line again that isn't made by Brabantia.Date published: 2014-01-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Pinderella from Brilliant design for ease and use I bought this lift-o-matic March 2014 and I'm absolutely delighted with my purchase, really worth the price. A very clever design in opening out the rotary and clever little things like at the end of each of the spokes are holes to hook in items on coat hangers, brilliant. Also this rotary can open and become flat so heavy items like duvets can be spread out over a large area. Very clever.Date published: 2014-04-25

It has been all over the news today that TV Asahi and TBS have struck a deal with Google to stream news programs on Youtube. Most of the articles, however, don't have links. I found it pretty tricky to find TBS's channel because someone else was already using their acronym. I hope they find a way to make it financially viable to stream more than just the news in the near future, but for the time being, check out tvasahi (who have celebrated the new deal with a cute little cartoon - which unfortunately they won't let me embed) and tbsnewsi. Of course, if you love alternative Japanese animation as much as I do, you should also be subscribed to NHKonline, because they post the latest Digista shorts regularly. For example, check out Mirai Mizue's latest animation below:

Tokyo Loop (2005)
Tokyo's centre for experimental and art cinema, Image Forum, under the guidance of program director Takashi Sawa and coordinator Koyo Yamashita, has a knack for putting together some clever screening packages together for the Image Forum Festival every year. Many of these packages, such as Thinking and Drawing, make their way into international festivals, and in some cases even onto DVD. Such is the case with the 2006 omnibus Tokyo Loop featuring the work of both established artists like Yoji Kuri, Taku Furukawa, Keiichi Tanaami, Nobuhiro Aihara, as well as exciting younger artists such as Kei Oyama, Mika Seike, Tabaimo, and Tomoyasu Murata.
Tokyo Loop came out of Image Forum's desire to do something to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Stuart Blackton's animation "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" (1906), considered by many the first publicly screened animated film. Sawa and Yamashita commandeered the help of Furukawa who contributed to the project with a film of his own and helped recruit other independent animation and experimental artists.
The 16 artists were asked to contribute a short film inspired by the city of Tokyo. The films would also be linked by the participation of Seiichi Yamamoto, a well-known musician from Osaka's underground music scene who composed the score. Yamamoto corresponded with the artists during the production process. He composed the music in advance based upon the sketches and storyboards provided by each animator, then revised them to fit the final edit of the film. During a discussion that I attended following a screening of the film at Image Forum on the 12th January 2007, Yamamoto spoke of the difficulties posed by trying to compose the music in advance of seeing the films. In the end, he was very successful at using his music to complement the wide variety of styles and imagery that each artist brings to this collaborative process.
Masahiko Sato, renowned director of animated TV commercials, and his partner Mio Ueta kick off the omnibus with "Tokyo Strut," an homage to the original line drawings of Blackton and also recalls the 2D experiments with line, shape, and motion done by Norman McLaren at the NFB. Sato and Ueta's playful depiction of people and dogs out for a stroll reminds us of the advancement in technology since those early days of animation by shifting the image from 2D to 3D using CG animation at one point during the film.
"Tokyo Trip" takes us on a psychedelic ride through the colourful, trippy imagery that has made Keiichi Tanaami famous. While the nightmarish, often sexualized characters with exaggerated features are a trademark of Tanaami, he does weave in the theme of Tokyo subtly through his use of metaphors such as rain and train travel.
Tanaami's work is followed by Mika Seike's feminist parable "Fishing Vine" which depicts a woman as the object of male desire and voyeurism. Like her earlier films, two of which featured on the earlier Image Forum DVD Thinking and Drawing, "Fishing Vine" has been constructed through the scanning and laying of drawings, photographs, and real objects like leaves. Seike's films are instantly identifiable by the black and white newspaper-like quality to the human figures.
Another artist also featured on Thinking and Drawing, Kei Oyama offers yet another disturbing but mesmerizing short film "Yuki-chan" about the death of a young girl. Yamamoto's layered soundtrack complements the textured visual style of the animation and also conveys the somber tone.
The melancholy of Oyama's work is countered by Kotobuki Shiriagari's comical first foray into animation "Dog & Bone," which keeps it simple with pencil drawings and cut-outs. The visual style is in keeping with the child-like scrawls he uses in his deeply subversive manga. A human line-drawing form with a cut-out dog head chases a spinning bone through various scenes from both contemporary Tokyo (Tokyo Tower, train crossing, movie theatre) as well as Tokyo's past (rural scenes, fire bombings). The cheerful melody contrasts with the often violent imagery.
Tabaimo's "Public Convenience", which she also presented as a video installation at the Hara Gallery in 2006, takes place in a women's public toilet. The setting is typical of the grungy public facilities generally found in JR stations. The colour palette and style is typical of Tabaimo's work and is heavily influenced by ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). A scene in which a turtle tries to crawl out of the Japanese-style toilet recalls Hokusai's famous work The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura, 1832) in the way she draws the wave of water flushing the turtle back down. A fascinating piece that depicts the grim every day realities of public lavatories in the style of a moving painting.
Atsuko Uda won the newcomers prize at the Image Forum Festival in 1999 for her digital video film "Fukuda-san." Her Tokyo Loop title "-blink-TOKYO-blink-" is creative nod to html script (the title is actually written with html brackets, but they were messing with with script on this page & had to be nixed). She was inspired by the city lights she remembers from her childhood growing up in the late Showa era. Her use of lights reminded me of the Lite-Brite toy that was all the rage in North America when I was growing up. Uda's film captures all the motifs associated with the seasons with nods to traditional Japanese cloth and paper design.
At first Nobuhiro Aihara's "Black Fish" gives the impression that it is an abstract interpretation of the music like Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart's Begone Dull Care (1949) or Oskar Fischinger's Motion Paintings and early abstractions. However, as the piece progresses, the camera moves back to reveal that the black swathes of ink are not random, but animations of strange faces that metamorphosize into the moving images of black fish.
Renowned experimental filmmaker Takahashi Ito's work is not traditional animation. Rather, it is animation in the sense of 'manipulation of moving images'. "Unbalance" depicts a dark vision of Tokyo as a place where people suffer under intense emotional states. An intense film with nightmarish imagery.
Maho Shimao's "Tokyo Girl" starkly contrasts Ito's deeply anguished film with a more light-hearted vision of Tokyo as a place of female sexual freedom. Shimao is perhaps most famous for her manga "Goriko, High School Girl" which she wrote as a teenager and has a popular teenage girl fan following. She comes from an artistic family, with both her parents working as freelance photographers. Her father, Shinzo Shimao is also a novelist, and her grandfather Toshio Shimao (1917-1986) was a renowned writer.
With "Nuance", Tomoyasu Murata captures the rhythms and imagery of the city using a variety of different animation techniques, many of which were reminiscent of Norman McLaren. Taku Furukawa and Yoji Kuri both demonstrated the minimalistic pen & ink styles for which they are renowned to capture typical Tokyo scenes with black humour. Furukawa's "Hashimoto" features a group of smokers on Hashimoto JR platform who transform into crows to peck to pieces a 'rat' smoker who does not conform to the ways of the group. His sin? Talking on his keitai! Kuri's "Funkogarashi" also takes on socially unacceptable, yet commonplace behaviour: people who walk their dogs and don't scoop the poop.
Many of the contributions to Tokyo Loop are abstract in nature. Atsushi Wada's "Manipulated Man", for example, presents a poetic dissection of the highly pressured salaryman using metaphors of manual manipulation, repetition, regurgitation and sheep. Koji Yamamura's highly allusive, dream-like contribution "Fig" features a block-headed man with Tokyo Tower for a nose, while interactive media and installation artist Toshio Iwai plays with the concept of time flying by in the city by animating a clock with a series of images resembling a kaleidoscope in "12 O'Clock".
The extras section of the DVD features 'Making of' profiles for ten of the artists. This gives a behind-the-scenes look at the wide range of techniques employed by the artists, from Aihara and Tanaami hand-drawing on paper and filming frame-by-frame on 16mm to Mika Seike scanning found objects into her computer for animation. The DVD comes with a book containing stills from each short film, bios for the artists as well as a short explanation of their inspiration for each piece. A CD of the soundtrack is also available.
For an interview with the producers, read this article from PingMag (an online bilingual art mag that I miss terribly since it succumbed to funding shortages at the New Year). Many of the artists featured here have their own homepages, so look for them in the sidebar.

Tomoyasu Murata's Tomorrow (2007)
Tomorrow is a very upbeat little puppet animation by Tomoyasu Murata. It would not be out of place in the NHK's Minna no Uta series. Animated to the song 'Tomorrow' (uncredited, sung by a girl), which children of the 1980s will remember from the Orphan Annie musical, the three-minute short features a young girl with a red kerchief on her head. She has set up a picnic blanket in a European-esque town and prepares to throw a party. The town has that slightly bleak, worn-out feel to it that is very typical of Murata (ie Indigo Road), but it has been cheered up a bit by pastel touches to doors and shutters.
Using crayons and paper, the doll-like girl draws all of the food necessary for the party. She then opens her bag and some magical CGI stars fly out to decorate the invitations. She delivers the invitations to all the doors in town, but as night falls she grows sad as no guests have joined her yet. As she embraces her doll and closes her eyes with sadness, a 2D animated character tugs on her dress. Suddenly the sky is filled with 2D translucent characters that float down to join the party.
Most of Tomoyasu Murata's films are for an adult audience, but this one appeals to all ages. My four year old daughter simply adores it. The song is very catchy and she is enraptured by the colourful array of dolls that join the girl's party. There is an interesting mixture in this short film of the kawaii (cute) and the creepy (canted angles, the ghostliness of the towns and the 2D characters), but all great children's work seems to balance a bit of both. It's a beautiful, very memorable little piece. I have been particularly enjoying Murata's mixing of media (puppet, cel, computer animation) in his recent films. Like the late, great Tadanari Okamoto, he doesn't like to do exactly the same thing twice.

Kinuyo Tanaka Centenary
This year marks the centenary of the birth of Japan's first woman film director Kinuyo Tanaka (田中絹代, 1909-1977). As an actress, she was indisputably at the top of her profession starring in (according to imdb) 24 Gosho films, 15 Mizoguchi films, 10 Ozu films, 8 Shimazu films, 6 Naruse films, and even a Kurosawa film (Red Beard, 1965) . Her career spans both the silent and sound eras. She has the distinction of having starred in the first Japanese talkie: Madamu to nyobo (The Neighour's Wife and Mine, Heinosuke Gosho, 1931) as well as starring in the only film directed by Hollywood legend Sessue Hayakawa (Taiyo wa higashi yori, 1932). Tanaka won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale for her portrayal of a woman forced into prostitution during World War II in Kei Kumai's Sandakan No. 8 (1974). Her final appearance on screen was in another Kei Kumai film Kita No Misaki (1976) in the year before her death.
In honour of Kinuyo Tanaka's outstanding career, the National Film Center in Tokyo is holding extensive screenings of her films from October 8th until December 27th. The screenings will be accompanied by an exhibition about her life and career. The exhibition opened earlier this month and will run until December 20th. The materials come both from the NFC collection as well as from personal belongings from the collection in her hometown of Shimonoseki.
Screenings will include 9 silent films and 44 talkies. This may sound like a lot, but as the Japanese Movie Database suggests that Tanaka was involved in the production of over 200 films, the screenings are really just a taste of Tanaka's illustrious career. The screening series' official title is 'Film Actress Kinuyo Tanaka at her Centenary (Part 1)' (生誕百年 映画女優 田中絹代(1), which suggests that a second screening series is planned for the near future, which I presume will feature her work as a director.

Lemon Road (檸檬の路, 2008)
Lemon Road (檸檬の路, 2008) is the latest installment in Tomoyasu Murata's contemplative My Road series. Previous films featuring the pianist as a central character include Scarlet Road (朱の路, 2002), White Road (白の路, 2003), and Indigo Road (藍の路, 2006). Last month, I reviewed the film Sky Colour Flower Colour (空色花色, 2006) which also ties into the series of puppet animations. Like my other reviews of Murata's work, this is really more of a 'reading' of the film than a proper 'review'. Although I do call this blog a 'review', I do really see it more as a journal of my viewing habits and reactions to Japanese film, art, and literature.
Tomoyasu Murata creates a wide variety of animation and other art, and his Road series is among the most personal and introspective of his work. The films are also, perhaps the most iconic images of Murata's for the average Japanese because footage from White Road was re-edited into a music video for the song 'Hero' by the popular J-Pop band Mr. Children. The films require several screenings because they don't give up their secrets very easily. There is no dialogue or narration, but a great deal of emotion is imbued into the films by music. Most of the Road films have loss as a central theme: the death of a child (Scarlet Road), the death of a pet and lost friendship (White Road), and the loss of a partner (Indigo Road). Lemon Road, by contrast, is a film about recovery and starting anew.
The first indication that something different from his previous puppet animations is afoot comes with the startling open sequence which subverts our expectations both aurally and visually. Instead of the romantic music of the other films, Lemon Road (aka Lemon's Road) opens with an avant-garde soundtrack that draws attention to the film as a film. The sound of a 16mm film projector whirs while a cacophony of sounds weave in and out mimicking the editing of the avant-garde style opening. Pastels on paper create, scribble out and recreate what we later learn to be images from the main narrative of the film. Sounds include a harmonica, a piano, and radio or TV feedback (from the days of turn-dial tuning). As Murata cuts to a wider shot we see that the images are actually appearing on an old-fashioned TV screen. The final images are done with cut-outs. We see a lemon being sliced, then a coffee and a tea appear on the screen with a lemon slice falling into the later. The scene then shifts to a rural scene with a gaping hole in the middle of it. As a ringing phone joins the cacophony of noise on the soundtrack, the cutout figures of a human and some animals get sucked up into the hole.
The TV turns off and we are introduced to a stark motel-like room as the soundtrack quiets down to just the sound of the phone ringing. The pianist character sits contemplatively on the sofa looking towards the sunlight coming in the window. On the whole the room is quite dull in its colours – greys, browns, blacks – but on the wall are two colourful paintings that add a glimmer of cheerfulness to an otherwise melancholy scene.
Scarlet Road had an Asian setting, and Indigo Road seemed influenced by the architecture of Eastern Europe, this film is set in the countryside of Arizona. From his lodgings, the pianist takes his scooter to and from a library across a typical North American roadside landscape with a wide open sky. The passing of time is indicated by the changing of the weather and it seems that the pianist has come to this location to do some kind of research.
Thematically, the library is a great location because it is a place where people often go alone, as shown in the film and it emphasizes the theme of solitude. The solitude that the pianist experiences in all of the Road films is a part of the spiritual journey of the character. The melancholy nature of this quest is emphasized by the theme music, which is composed by Tatsuhide Tado, who also did the music for Indigo Road. The music starts when the pianist opens his journal. The music recalls the theme music of Indigo Road but it features a guitar rather than the usual piano. The piano (joined by a bass and an electric guitar) does return in key sequences such as an extended dream sequence which occurs when the pianist falls asleep while watching TV. It begins with the ringing phone being dragged by the cord out of the window and into a gaping hole in the earth, then goes on to reprise many of the images from the opening sequence. In particular, the image of everything and everyone being swallowed up into the hole.
The dream sequence ends back in the pianist's room but with a giant lemon filling the space. The lemon spits out a piece of paper like a ticket vending machine, which we later learn has a telephone number on it. The lemon fits with the theme of starting anew for the pianist because of its cleansing properties and its association with freshness. After he wakes up, the pianist takes the piece of paper to the phone booth on the side of the highway and tries dialing it. Although there is no answer and he leaves the paper behind, the film ends on an optimistic note with the pianist sitting in the sunshine outside his room drinking coffee.
Murata leaves the Road films deliberately ambiguous, so the film's meaning is really open to numerous interpretations which would be influenced by whether or not one has seen the other films in the series. My own view, when considering this film together with Indigo Road and Sky Colour Flower Colour, is that the woman in Indigo Road did not die like the child in Scarlet Road or the dog in White Road. Rather the pianist and the woman have separated. The ending suggests to me the possibility of a reconciliation between the two. This idea is implied by the sound of the bird that one hears singing when the pianist makes the phone call. It is the hiyodori (brown-eared bulbul), whose call was also a key theme in Sky Colour Flower Colour. Now the hiyodori would not be found in Arizona, so I am reading it as an aural reminder of the woman. This may sound like I am reading too much into it, but I feel that this interpretation is supported by the fact that a butterfly (which a theme in Sky Colour Flower Colour) flies out of the phone booth as the guitar theme song returns. Even though the phone call does not seem to be answered, perhaps the pianist has made peace with whatever problems there were between them. Another image that points to this are the red flowers that are growing up out of the cracks of the concrete outside the door of the pianist's room. The red flowers are another image that thread through the Road films.
Lemon Road – not only are dreams are an important metaphor in Murata's work they are also a recurring theme in films of many great filmmaking artists from Hitchcock to Cocteau. The dream sequences in Lemon Road give us many clues into the psychology of the mysterious pianist whose silence and sad eyes are so beguiling. The optimistic ending – the first time full sunshine has been used in the series – increases my desire to see what will happen to this fascinating character in the next installment. I do hope that his journey continues.
Lemon Road can be ordered online at tomoyasu.net (within Japan only). Customers outside of Japan should send requests to Murata's company by e-mail.

Repast (めし, 1951)
Women form the central concern of the films of Miko Naruse (成瀬 巳喜男, 1905-1969). Women play the main protagonists, the thematic concerns usually revolve around issues concerning women, his audiences were mainly women, and the narratives are often based on stories by women writers. Naruse's 1951 hit film Meshi (めし/ Repast) is adapted from the final, unfinished novel by popular writer Fumiko Hayashi (林 芙美子, 1903-1951). He would later to go on to make five other films based on her literary output including Hourou-ki (A Wanderer's Notebook, 1962) which was based on her autobiography.
If I were a teacher of Japanese, I could imagine using Naruse's Meshi to teach students about one radical difference between men and women in Japan: the use of language. The different usages of language between men and women in Japanese is apparent in all family dramas, but in Meshi it is foregrounded by film's title, which is also a key motif throughout the film. The difference between men's and women's Japanese rarely comes across in the subtitles because it is difficult to translate. The translators of Meshi had a real problem translating the title in particular and I'm not sure that they were successful. 'Repast' is a rather formal-sounding French loan word and it's in my estimation, a bit of an archaic word for a meal in English. In contrast, the Japanese word 'meshi', as I will elaborate in a moment, is very informal. I can't really criticize whoever came up with the title 'Repast' though, because there would also be the complication of the different usages of words for meals among different regions of English speakers (supper and tea have very different meanings depending on what side of the Atlantic you are one for example). The noun 'meal' itself also has multiple meanings just to add to the translation difficulties.
Focusing on the Japanese meanings of 'meshi' though, the first dilemma when translating the title of the film is that it can mean both a meal and rice. As rice is the staple of all traditional Japanese meals 'gohan', the synonym for 'meshi', also means both a meal and rice. 'Gohan' is the word that most students of Japanese will learn and it is what women will use with each other and when talking to men. It is more polite than 'meshi', which men will use with each other and when talking to their wives.
In Naruse's subtle depiction of a marriage, the husband Hastsunosuke 'Hatsu' Okamoto (Ken Uehara) often uses very blunt expression 'Meshi ja nai ka' to ask his wife Michiyo (Setsuko Hara) if supper is ready yet. It would be similar in English to a husband asking his wife 'Isn't supper ready yet?' in a tone that implies that the meal should already be on the table. After five years of marriage, the shine has worn off. Their relationship is strained due to troubles making ends meet and Hatsu, worn out from his job, doesn't see how the long, lonely days working as a housewife are affecting Michiyo. Her one solace is in the scraggly, tail-less cat who seeks her affection.
Michiyo's feelings about living in Osaka are emphasized through the theme of 'meshi.' She finds that the imported , overpriced rice sold by a local woman tastes funny and longs for rice from back home. Without family in Osaka, Michiyo has grown tired of the endless chores of cooking and cleaning and wonders if she should return to Tokyo and find work for herself. Her husband works long hours and has become distant from her, leading her to lavish all her love on a mangy, tail-less cat.
The catalyst for change comes in the guise of a niece, Satoko, who drops in unexpectedly from Tokyo. Satoko has come to escape her parents and their marital expectations of her and seems to have a little crush on her uncle. Flirty, young, and naïve, Satoko's presence reminds Michiyo of the woman she used to be, as does a reunion with her Tokyo friends. These women are important because they show the limited chances women had in the 1950s. Each suffers from their own situation (single vs. married) and thinks that the others have it better. After this interlude with her friends, Michiyo comes home to find that Satoko and her husband have done very little to contribute to the day's chores and she decides that the time has come to make a change in her life.
From a modern perspective, Hatsu seems like a real jerk of a husband and in a lot of reviews of this film, Hatsu is described as being a stereotypical patriarchal husband. Thinking about him in the context of 1950s Japan, I actually found him quite a sympathetic character – especially when contrasted with the husband in Yama no Oto (Sound of the Mountain, 1954), another Naruse film starring Ken Uehara and Setsuko Hara as a couple with marital problems. Hatsu shows early signs of being a good guy – although he is curt in the usual way with his wife, he shows great patience when she's angry with him and never responds with anger himself. Apart from his lack of contribution to household chores (which is sadly even today typical behaviour for men in many Japanese families), he also shows good judgment for the most part throughout. For example, he is always honest with his wife, telling her where he goes and with whom. He does not spend money overly rashly and avoids bad business decisions (ie the Marugaki scheme) despite heavy peer pressure. He also seems completely oblivious to the women who throw themselves at him during Michiyo's absence.
While Naruse does give the husband's perspective lots of screen time, our thoughts are never far from Michiyo. Unlike Fumiko Hayashi's unfinished novel, which was written in the first person, Michiyo's motivations throughout the film seem deliberately ambiguous. In doing so, Naruse allows his audience to use their own experience to interpret Michiyo's actions and thoughts. This is only broken in the final scene on the train (no spoilers follow), where Michiyo is given a voiceover narration that explains her ultimate choice. This final scene was reportedly tacked on by the studio producers, much to the dismay of many critics. I think that it could have been left ambiguous with no voiceover dialogue. For me, the scene in the restaurant with Michiyo and her husband made the ending satisfying – especially when Michiyo laughs through tears as only Setsuko Hara can. This is a film that can be really appreciated by people, especially women, who have been married for a long time because it asks its audience to consider what happiness in marriage really means to them.

Akira Kurosawa: a Century of Cinema
The Venice Film Festival will be celebrating the centenary of the birth of Akira Kurosawa a few months early with a panel on Monday. The discussion will feature a number of prominent guests including Peter Cowie, Donald Richie, Teruyo Nogami, Michel Ciment, Richard Corliss, and Italian critic Aldo Tassone. Here is the blurb from their website:
The participants in the meeting chaired by Peter Cowie (Great Britain) will include some of the world's best-known experts on Kurosawa's work, such as Teruyo Nogami (Japan, writer and for many years Kurosawa's chief assistant), Donald Richie (United States, writer, director and critic, authority on the culture of Japan – where he has been living since 1947 – and author of the 'definitive' study of Kurosawa, as well as firsthand witness to a half-century of his activity), Michel Ciment (France, writer and critic, editor of the magazine Positif), Richard CorlissTime) and Aldo Tassone (Italy, critic, director of the France Cinéma festival and author of several books on Kurosawa). (United States, critic for the weekly
For more information, go to the offical website.
To mark the imminent 100th anniversary of his birth, the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa will be the subject of the international panel that will be held at the Venice Lido on Sunday September 6, 2009 at 3 pm in Sala Pasinetti (Palazzo del Cinema), organized by the 66th Venice International Film Festival (2-12 September) and moderated by Peter Cowie, film historian, author and founder of The International Film Guide.
On 23 March 2010 Akira Kurosawa would have been 100 years old. Given that his discovery in the West came as a result of the Golden Lion he won at the 1951 Venice Film Festival with Rashomon, and that the festival awarded him a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 1982, it is significant that his profile and his achievements as a filmmaker should be discussed in Venice this year.
The participants in the meeting chaired by Peter Cowie (Great Britain) will include some of the world's best-known experts on Kurosawa's work, such as Teruyo Nogami (Japan, writer and for many years Kurosawa's chief assistant), Donald Richie (United States, writer, director and critic, authority on the culture of Japan – where he has been living since 1947 – and author of the 'definitive' study of Kurosawa, as well as firsthand witness to a half-century of his activity), Michel Ciment (France, writer and critic, editor of the magazine Positif), Richard CorlissTime) and Aldo Tassone (Italy, critic, director of the France Cinéma festival and author of several books on Kurosawa). (United States, critic for the weekly
The panellists will address the multiple aspects of Kurosawa's figure and work, including: his vision of society and politics; the comparison between Kurosawa and the other great Japanese filmmakers; his relations with Eastern and Western culture (Shakespeare, Gorky, Dostoevsky, van Gogh); the enthusiastic reception given to Kurosawa by American culture and cinema; comparisons with other great Japanese auteurs such as Ozu and Mizoguchi; their numerous remakes; his sources of inspiration in Japanese culture; Kurosawa's work on the set; his talent as a painter; his use of colour and music; the difficulty he often had in getting funding for his films in Japan; his love of history and the lessons that he has offered to each new generation.

He married Elizabeth SWAN in Sheffield St Peter in 1836 - just too early for a father's name.
Any help most gratefully accepted.

Well the title is as much as I know about this piece of malware, this and the fact that it auto-sends itself to everybody in the infected user's MSN contact list.
My girlfriend noticed this behaviour when her MSN Plus! asked her repeatedly if she would like to zip the file to be sent [a feature of the plug-in]. The file was in the process list and could only be deleted after a boot in safe mode [so as to not get loaded again].
HouseCall and Symantec online AV scans did not report anything after this deletion, so I'd assume deleting the file was enough [no registry key or anything of the sort]. However either because of the scanners' limitations [not checking .pif files or not checking certain folders] the file was not detected inside the Recycle Bin either [although it was still present when the AV scans were run].
Somebody else on my contact list had gotten the same thing since I had a request for a file transfer when I got home, but the person wasn't online so I couldn't inquire further.
When she got infected, my S.O. said the file was called love_me.pif, which makes me think it is possible for the virus to randomly change its name from a list. The transfer request I had received had the same filename as the title - sexy_bedroom.pif.
I forgot to ask whether she was running her AV at the time but I think not [and since the file requires user interaction to infect the computer it would not be detected by anything less than an active AV].
I assume people would be duped into opening the file because .pif is an old extension from DOS IIRC and its close resemblance to .pic could trick many into opening it.
Symantec has no entry about this, neither does Google at large return anything.
Anybody know anything more about this? Is it truly a virus or some other kind of malware? I believe I could still get a copy of it and PM it to *some* people that would require it for analysis, however I'd rather not go into that kind of a situation...
So this is both a Heads Up and a Request for Comments[:P]/Info... stay alert!

Shakespeare and Company in Paris is an icon among booksellers and bibliophiles. Its owner for decades, George Whitman, passed away last week, 14 Dec. 2011, at age 98. My bibliophile friends sent me a link to a movie about life in the bookshop:
(Note: YouTube has this video in piecemeal. The Google link above is the entire 52-minute documentary.)
I'm not sure where the original S&C (also in Paris) starts and this continuation S&C begins, but one of them started hosting writers in the early 20th century, including Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. George Whitman either started or kept up that tradition and invited all kinds of people to stay in the bookshop in exchange for work. The movie above shows the bohemian life of writers and backpackers who actually move books out of the way at night and sleep and live in the shop.
Ironically, the first time I heard about Shakespeare and Co. was from its namesake, a bookshop in Kernersville, NC, which I visited in 2009. The owner has gradually switched over from coffee and books to wine and kitchen supplies and, as of last week, no longer sells books.

Hi! If you are reading this, you have been redirected from the old Saylor Academy forums to the new Saylor Academy forums.
Probably, you are a bit confused; to paraphrase Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, you are not in Kansas anymore!
These forums are based on a relatively new platform called Discourse. It takes some getting used to. Among other things, we do not have a rigid hierarchy of categories here.
If you came here right from one of our course that invited you to share work or respond to a discussion prompt, we are still thinking about what to do with those. Some of the prompts may be removed from courses if they have not proven especially fruitful. Some will be revised to better instigate discussion. Some may be updated to link to specific posts here in Discourse. At the end of the day, if you have something you would like to say or share here from your course, please do so; if not, no worries.

- Code: Select all
(defparameter *test-symbol*
((lambda (x) (format t "x: ~a~&" x) x)
(lambda (y) (format t "y: ~a~&" y) y)))
I've come across a similar construct in someone else's code. It works, but I'm struggling to understand what does it do, and no luck so far Can someone, please, explain what is being saved into *test-symbol*? I could only figure so far that it is callable and what gets executed is the (lambda (y) ...), but what (lambda (x) ...) does and why it gets called when the entire construct is being defined is beyond me. Lastly, no matter what first lambda returns, the construct seem to generate no problems, however, if I replace the first lambda by it's return value, of course I get an error.
