I would just like to point out that the beginning and end of Spirited Away creep me out in the most delicious way possible. I've always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories.
Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark.
Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn't eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)…
…only to find that seasons or years have passed.
'Hey, it's all dusty in here. Is this someone's idea of a joke?'
This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn't help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can't say for sure.
A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We're seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it's not NEW but you can tell what it is.
Now look at the second frame. It's so eroded it's just a dull, flat stone.
That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much.
Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick.
Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years.
The entire back door is a sheet of ice.
Jack stop. This is too much.
Roleplay anyone?
Jack Frost's strength appreciation post.
Yes, he's skinny as hell but he's not that weak. I mean, in the first gif you can see his pecs barely visible under his hoodie. His chest and shoulder are well built and muscular as well. I'm pretty sure he has fine abs too but that damn hoodie keeps us from seeing it. He flies, climbs and flips over chimneys, he swings his not so lightweight staff like it's nothing. His wikia page says that he knows parkour and martial arts well too. He fell from such a height and landed on his feet easily. And when he fights Pitch it's pretty obvious that he is so damn strong.
Inspired by this.
((Gotta be 2 miles of legs there. Yum))
you can see the boy's heart shatter.
friendly reminder that you don't need small text, complex formatting, fancy words, symbols up the wazoo, icons, gifs, or any other bells and whistles to have a damn good role playing blog. it's cool if you have it but it does not define you.

Check It Off: Checklist for the Smoothest Move & Setting Up Your New Home
You're off to a new home in a brand new place! A new adventure, a new start, and a new list of things to get done — hopefully within a week or two of moving. For all of you organizational junkies, time to get rolling! For those not as adept in the art of binders and dividers, here's a checklist to get you started.
In preparation for moving day:
• Collect all of your medical and dental records in a folder and take them with you to your new location. Or, notify your current offices that you will be requesting them via fax from your new doctor's and dentist's offices.
• Start throwing things away or donating! Do you really need to hold on to all of those old college books that you'll most likely never crack open again? Sell, donate, or toss anything that you don't need and will weigh down your moving boxes.
• If you have kids, get their school records all sorted and ready to transfer to new schools. For high school aged kids especially, this is an important part of setting their schedule for the next year.
• Prepare to disconnect or transfer any services. For water, gas, other utilities and land-line phones, set your end date as one day after you move. For cable and internet, request a transfer if possible, or research companies that provide service in your new area.
• Set up a mail transfer with the post office and notify any magazines or newspapers of your transfer or cancellation.
• Transfer or close bank accounts/credit union accounts.
• Take a general inventory of all items being moved.
• Dispose of any flammables that moving companies will not carry: paints, kerosene, certain cleaning products and even perfumes that you do not wish to haul yourself.
• Confirm any travel arrangements or hotel reservations for your move. Communicate with the representative for your future residence and make sure that you will be able to enter the building when you arrive.
• Designate a "private" room that movers will not enter. Aside from storing your items for travel and personal necessities, it's also nice to have a place to hide when you need a moment away from the packing/moving caos.
• Prepare all directions and contact information for movers, and get their crew chief's information in return. Communication is key!
Day of move or day after:
• Confirm water, electric or gas shut off/transfer if necessary, and turn of all faucets, lights, thermostats and air conditioners.
• Run a last check of the basement, attic, garage, sheds or closets to make sure you haven't missed anything!
• Lock all windows and doors and notify neighbors or building managers of your departure.
After you're in your new home:
• Clean! If the previous owners or management company did not order a full clean (they should have), hire a cleaning company to do a deep clean or put on those rubber gloves and do it yourself.
• Contact your insurance and credit card companies to move or change coverage, and look for local bank branches to set up a new account if necessary.
• Search for a new healthcare and dental provider by asking around or doing a quick search on the internet, and have your records transferred. Note all emergency rooms in the area.
• If you have kids, visit their new school and deliver class and shot records.
• Make an appointment to restart your cable, internet and/or phone service with the local company or to transfer service with your previous provider if possible.
• If you have pets, research vets and emergency veterinary rooms in the area. Obtain a pet license from the local city government.
• Unpack and inventory any broken or damaged items for insurance purposes and contact the moving company if there is proof of negligence.
Am I missing something? Let us know your suggestions!

One thing I did is label every box with a letter of the alphabet. You could also just number them. Weeks before the actual move, I started packing small and non-essential items into the boxes, and noted what was going into every box in a MS Word Document. That way I wasn't limited to grouping and labeling boxed items by room, but by level of immediate need and similar fragility, or for optimum weight distribution.
So when I moved into my new house, I could easily access items as I was ready to use them or "populate" a particular space. I could easily search the document on my laptop to find that "large frying pan" as in "Box G," for instance. I didn't have to unpack the entire kitchen or bathroom to get in the moving day's meal or shower, for instance.
It may sound overwhelming, but I thought it was a good system because it made me examine the need for every item as I packed it. I ended up donating or selling a lot on my way out. It's also a really flexible system, as your box content lists could be as generic as "art supplies" to as specific as listing every individual item.
Also, if you're just moving across town and not to a brand new city or further, consider renting a storage locker unit geographically between your new place and your old one!
This allows you to begin moving small non-essential items out of your house in small trips at your convenience. Save "moving day" for large items like furniture and appliances/electronics, and pick up your small items later as you need them.
As an added bonus, many storage companies offer the free use of a truck that you can reserve for you big items/move-in day!
This is a great list, but the title made me think of Ex-Lax. ;P
Check with the moving company to see what they won't move - especially if they're doing the packing. I had to give away any open food items, any home-canned goods, light bulbs, batteries, candles, nail polish and remover and aerosol products.
One thing I always do when packing is to pack the "essentials" box. It's the last thing loaded on to the truck and the first thing unloaded.
It has a roll of TP, a sponge, some sort of basic cleaner, a box of bandaids, aspirin, a couple of lightbulbs, a roll of paper towels*, a shower curtain, a few snacks (like protein bars and dried fruit), a utility knife, something really easy to cook (like pasta and a jar of sauce) and paper plates* and plastic forks and spoons, and clean sheets for the bed.
Even if you are completely overwhelmed by the chaos in your new place, you can make the bed and have something to eat. I always consider it a good move when I can make the first meal in the new apartment and end the day between clean sheets.
*I don't usually use disposable paper products like these, but when you are moving, they solve a lot of problems.
When packing boxes, I usually use a sharpie to write the contents of the box on it directly as I pack. It helps for when you unpack and need to know where to pack like items (bathroom boxes in the bathroom, for example), but also for the end of packing when you're putting miscellaneous items into any box that can hold them. So a box from the living room might read "DVDs, remotes, photos, and gnome figurine." Means I'm not combing through boxes for my remotes! And since I reuse the boxes, I try and put everything into the same box for the next move (I move about once a year for work), and I can scratch out and re-write if need be.
What also helps me, like what @Xarcady mentioned above, is packing absolute essentials that I'll need immediately after unloading the moving truck. First thing I do when packing is to put all the essentials into a suitcase over the course of a week as I go through routines. It's the best way to realize you need to set aside toilet paper or contact solution or an extra phone charger and other essentials. Putting it in a suitcase makes it easily identifiable when you've got dozens of lookalike boxes.
If at all possible, do the deep clean of your new place BEFORE moving day. It's much easier to clean if the place is empty and you can start unpacking the second you get to the new place.
I've moved more than 40 times (military brat, and then in myself), I second the "essential box" of stuff you'll need right away, toilet paper, sheets, etc. but I would also recommend a box that you put all the pieces and parts that are the result of disassembling furniture, label zip lock backs and put all hardware for items (beds, bookcases, etc) in them, put in a box that is painted or magic markered some bizarre color so you can find it in the brown sea at the other end, include basic tools, hammers, multiple screw drivers, ratchets, etc. That way you'll have the box you need to start putting things back together.
I love the way the post mentions 'the movers'. I've moved dozens of times but only once had movers. Before that it's always been U-Haul or a borrowed truck or two.
One three occasions I've moved to places within walking distance. The first time, we carried everything up the road - no vehicles at all. The second time, I used a skateboard to move furniture and the third time, we used two cars, one sports car (not much room inside) and one saloon car.
I move frequently, so tend to hold onto my boxes between moves to prevent the mad dash around town for more. But they get so marked up, it can be hard to tell what's what after a few moves. Enter large white mailing stickers!
I write a standard three line description on each sticker: 1) My last name 2) the room the box goes to in the new location and 3) brief box contents run down. I add "FRAGILE" if needed. I place the sticker in a uniform place on each box to keep it easy.
I just tell the movers to read the second line if I'm not around to direct them to the proper room (but they often don't do this anyway, so be prepared to lug a few boxes within the house). To save some time, you can even run the stickers through your printer to print out your name and room name so all you have to write is the box contents description as you pack.
If moving by air (where you have only one piece or 20 kilos of baggage allowed) check ahead to see if FedEx/Post is cheaper than excess luggage rates. For our last move we packed all our shoes and sent them ahead in a box. Cost half of what we would have paid at the airline. And that made room in my suitcase for open food items like expensive truffle oil and toiletries that I didn't want to throw out.

Manicure With A Few Steps To Manicured Fingernails
"Here's looking at his hands, kid!" Almost 90% of people look at the first contact on the hands of her interlocutor. Hands and nails are part of the personal business card, they are an expression of personality, emphasize our words and support our body language. Already Cleopatra knew the trick: she painted her fingernails with henna – and charmed so confident not only Julius Caesar! Europe discovered the ladies kept the erotic hands until the 18th Century, when so-called "manicurists" visited the noble households. Today has long manicure for daily care, because the hands are the most personal business card.
With a few steps to manicured fingernails
Dirt under the fingernails to Clean gently with a wooden stick to the delicate skin under the nail to avoid injury. For stubborn dirt, use one nail brush and soap or you bathe your hands in warm water with lemon.
Citric acid dissolves heavy dirt and stains. Juice of half a lemon to give in 200 ml of lukewarm water, immerse nails and act for 10 minutes. always remove nail polish from the nail bed to nail tip so no paint residue come under the cuticle.
Nails cut
Nails do not cut with scissors, as they splinter easily and can break off. If you have to cut at all, then only possible with a nail clipper or a special nail clippers.
Appropriate filing
Files with corrugated metal surface should be avoided, as splinter from energetic processing of nail. Tip: narrow width nails give if they are filed to a pointed oval.
Brittle nails
For brittle, splitting nails should use a sand plate file, as this allows a gentler files. Important: Sand plate files typically last for a maximum of 2 manicures, then you should use a new file.
Protruding cuticles can be removed carefully with a cuticle scissors or cuticle nippers. Very hard cuticle preventively 1 – to 2-Sprinkle times a week with some cuticle oil and gently massage it so that it is soft again.
Cuticle treatment
The cuticle nail and nail bed from dirt and bacteria. If it hardens, then soak a little cuticle remover on the affected sites. Then the cuticles with a suitable rod push back gently, as a tearing of the cuticles can cause painful infections.
Polishing instead painting
With special polishing files can bring the nails to shine, so they almost look painted and get a silky shine. polishing is much gentler on your nails as painting, making it ideal for sensitive nails.

Aerobed Reviews We were VERY satisfied with the Aerobed we obtained. I had questions orginally about my capability to swell it without assistance, and about it remaining infalted throughout its 2-week utilization over the occasions.
I was additionally orginally concerned by one of the analyst's remarks on the plastic smell that they stated the bunk had. We did not discover that whatsoever.
Aero Bed I attempted an AeroBed feature before at my companion's spot and got one for myself. An extraordinary stuff. I enjoyed the configuration, shade. I am utilizing it for the las 3 weeks each night and it is extraordinary. One thing, I discovered the same correct couch at Costco and it was $50 shabbier. I got resentful however return might take me the same error at the closure.
Generally speaking I am joyful with the feature! This without a doubt was a cut above wanted -we bought this to have and barely happened to have a companion (who was exceptionally pregnant around then) stay for 3 nights the day following we got it. Her quote was "its the best slumber I've had in 6 months". The main remark she made was it got a little chilly from the air in the bedding itself -we unraveled that by putting a cover down under the sheets and it was incredible.
Aerobed I obtained this areo bunk since I had thought about one for 2 1/2 months. It is the best pneumatic bed ever. Exceptionally simple to blow up and collapse.
The headboard is stunning in light of the fact that you don't lose your pad and you can have it as hard or delicate as you might like. Simple to move around. It is unmanageable however well worth the cash. Would profoundly prescribe this thing. Purchased this bunk to be utilized within a tent while outdoors. We have a RV and our visitors utilized this cot. They raved about its solace. It has ruined them for fate outdoors without this feature.

Drew Rosenhaus text: "Rob (Gronkowski) has now been cleared by all his doctors to play Sunday in the Jets game." — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer)
October 18, 2013
Gronk has not yet been cleared to play for the Patriots on Sunday, but once he is good to go, he's got a group of fans eager to see him back in uniform. Nancy Schön's famous Make Way For Ducklings sculpture at Boston Common has been transformed into Gronk's big little welcoming party. Say hi to the Gronklings,… »
Hours after the 2013 Super Bowl, Rob Gronkowski danced on stage at Encore, the kind of Vegas club you pray your friends never drag you to.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is inactive for today's game against the Atlanta Falcons, despite cautiously optimistic reports that Gronk was ready to return to the field. So what's the hold up?

It (sort of) looks that way, according to Zachary, our tipster. But it's tough to be sure.

Gronk continues living the dream. »

Rob Gronkowski posed for this picture while visiting some of the Boston Marathon bombing victims in the hospital today. If that arm injury continues to be a bother, Gronk could probably start a second career as a human comfort dog. »
A friendly tipster writes in: "is this the Gonk with 8 party girls in a Boston hotel room last night? I'll let you decide." Thank you.

The Pause, as we all know, is the student-run venue on campus which puts on concerts, dances, SAC events and features the ever-popular Pause Kitchen. While it's awesome that students make and deliver -- God bless the delivery staff -- tasty, cheap pizza and compose lots of yummy snacks to fight hunger, day and night, I have just one question I need to ask.
Why is the Pause so heartbreakingly slow? We are poor, famished college students and we just want pizza! Can the reason for the (at times) crawling pace of the Pause be an underlying desire to impart to St. Olaf students the virtue of patience even when they are weak at the knees with hunger, lusting after that Oreo shake? Or is it, as I suspect, a severely flawed organizational system? Hmm & I've never been a big fan of patience anyway.
I don't like to wait. I've never had much fun watching minutes slowly tick away for what seems like hours only to find that, alas, someone else has walked away with my delicious treat. Here is an idea: try giving people a copy of their receipts and calling out numbers -- no confusion there, no tears and no disappointment.
To tell you the truth, as I am writing this, I am polishing off a most scrumptious half chocolate shake which, because they ran out of the smaller cups tonight, was put in a bigger cup so that I walked away with an unexpectedly large amount of ice cream. It's clinging along the sides all the way up to the top of the cup. Yum. So why am I complaining? I do love the Pause -- especially the food they sometimes give away when they find they have extra at closing time. And perhaps the students who run the Pause have a philosophical reason for making us wait. Maybe we all just need to slow down and let life rain upon us. Or is it as W.H. Davies says, "What is this life, if, full of care / We have no time to stand and stare?" After all, hanging out in the Pause for inordinate amounts of time is a pretty good excuse to spend time with friends, a social expedient, if you will.
As a friend of mine says, "I'm normally there with nice people." So consider all those you consider to be a friend, round up a few of the nicer ones -- preferably people who attach no particular significance to doing homework -- and head out to the Pause for an extraordinarily long social engagement. I hope all involved are prepared for the hefty time commitment. In fact, I, like Margaret Thatcher, can be quite patient as long as I get what I want in the end. And in that regard, the Pause always delivers. Although, at times languishing away as I fondly look ahead to delayed gratification for my empty stomach, I always walk out of the Pause feeling less hungry and more happy. I have survived another encounter with the Pause, a venue fatally laced with inefficiency.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
A couple of things:
First - Anne, thank you for this article and I really enjoy your hypothetical back story behind "Mists of Pandaria", well done.
Second - The images you used for this article, are they Blizz art from WC3, The RPG books, or another artist altogether? (I'm hoping its you since you've mentioned doing drawings in the "Meet the Bloggers" article.
And finally, (I think this may have been addressed), with regards to how Kalimdor, Northrend, and the Eastern Kingdoms are shown on the in-game map, has it ever been said if Kul Tiras (as an example) is on different hemisphere or within the same one as Kalimdor or EK but not shown yet?
Thomas Higgins said...
If that drawing on page three was a mere scribble, Anne, I would hate to see what you do when you are really going for it. The sheer awesomeness would burn out my eyeballs.

Movie News
The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day will fix you. It fixes everything.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
In my rush to post yesterday's Ghostbusters pic before checking out of my NYC hotel for what I thought was a plane that was supposed to take me home (cancelled, so I got another day in the Big Apple) I neglected to give credit to Brian Michaels for passing that pic along. So, before we start today I wanted to give credit where credit is due for yesterday's sweet image.
Today we have a rather sweet image of a man and his machine. Paul Verhoeven steps in to lend a hand as Peter Weller's Murphy (aka RoboCop) needs a little tender loving care.
When I ran that Conan picture earlier this week I talked about the awesome Schwarzenegger/Milius commentary on that DVD. I guess badass commentaries are on my mind because the Paul Verhoeven RoboCop commentary is amazing, too. It's in that commentary that we learn of Verhoeven thinking of RoboCop as a Christ figure (of course he does have a biblical basis… we all know that after Jesus rose from the grave he stabbed Judas in the neck with his metal spike-finger). That crazy Dutchman is a blast to listen to, so if you haven't given that commentary a spin, make it so!
Enjoy the pic, courtesy of reader Bas Doodkorte. Click for the OCP giant-sized version.
Tomorrow's behind the scenes pic celebrates me being snowed in in NYC with a look at a Christmas classic.

It lent the scene an existential air. There were loads more, it was legendary amongst kids round my area, Harry Enfield picked up on it in a skit. I've still got the vhs of it somewhere. Plus it was cut to hell.

Dubbed swearing
by Keith
"the best was the dude robbing the grocery store yelling out "why me?" about thirty times. It lent the scene an existential air." Brilliant. I remember the ITV dub of "Aliens" as well. Every time Hudson went on a rant, he turned into some Australian bloke. Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Hudson Dundee: Friggin' A! Blimey, Ripley, yer idea's a fair old ripper! I think my personal favourite though was from Lethal Weapon. I just loved the bizarre simplicity of it. Instead of "Get in the fuckin' car!", the line was "Get in the yellow car!" As though there were a whole line of differently-coloured candidate vehicles, and today was the day for yellow.

re: dubbed swearing

My favorite was the track they dubbed for "The Hard Way", that Michael J. Fox movie. The character was supposed to say, "You son of a bitch", and was dubbed instead to say "You slime in a ditch!" There were other gems in that one, but given all the dubs I've heard, that's the one I remember best.

Is there an unrated/uncut Robocop?
by Lucidz
Forgive my ignorance, but is there like an ultra hardcore version of this movie? To this day, the scene of murphy getting blasted by all those guns is one of the most realistic, horrifying, gory things I've seen. The gore isn't over the top or funny at all, it really looks like a dude being blasted apart by shotguns.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:06 p.m. CST
lucidz - yeah, I recall seeing that unrated version on laserdisc?

A friend of mine had it, years ago, and I think that was the format. And that scene, of Murphy getting "dismantled" by the gunfire, is appallingly gory. When his hand gets blown off? The stuff of nightmares...

Thing is this movie didn't need any sequels. Nobody wants to see The Further Adventures of Robocop like it was some fucking cartoon(which it was - shudder). A sequel would have to be so dark and nihilistic and frankly it's just not needed or wanted.

Ok, fine, call it Verhoeven's American Tetralogy.
by Rhuragh
I'd wager to say Verhoeven's movies satirizing Amerika are even better than Lars von Trier's, mainly for the fact that Verhoeven's films are so subtle that he can trick the exact mainstream Amurkan audiences he's satirizing into seeing them under the guise that his films are summer tent-pole blockbusters. Lars von Trier's films make no pretense to subtlety and beat you on the head with the message. Verhoeven's films, with their subtlety, actually have a chance of affecting his audience and making them see themselves in the film whereas the same people would never be caught dead watching a film by Lars von Trier.
Feb. 2, 2011, 7:27 p.m. CST
Yeah, OK, I'll Back The Tetralogy - You HAVE TO Include SHOWGIRLS
by NeonFrisbee
TOTAL RECALL is great, I love it, but SHOWGIRLS is AMAZING. I definitely am more into ROBOCOP, SHOWGIRLS, and STARSHIP TROOPERS. But, yeah, TOTAL RECALL is great too, and another great parody/satire. So, okay, Verhoeven's American Tetralogy.

As great as it is to see at home
by paulloch
This must be seen with an audience for full impact. I still remember the long boisterous standing ovation at the end, after the last line. Everyone (like me) was expecting a silly campy b-movie, and you got a classic, a perfect movie, a really smart over-the-top satire, worthy of comparison with Kubrick's dark comedies. I know it won some technical oscars, but it should have been nominated for major awards. How can the remake possibly be as good?
Feb. 2, 2011, 7:45 p.m. CST
by Keith
1. Where were you, Childs? 2. "I mean just listen to the pure awesome of the scores for the likes of Flesh + Blood, Hunt for Red October, Red Dawn and Starship Troopers" Klendathu Drop from Starship Troopers is utterly splendid. It's the woodwind flurries that take that onto a different level: the brass and strings carry the main theme, and rightly so, but there's a whole extra emotional dimension from the flutes' counterpoint: still martial, but kind of ethereal and vulnerable, which suits the scene perfectly.

On the subject of Poledouris and Robocop

Nicely put. Although, of course, the great thing is that they also WORK as summer tent-pole blockbusters. Of course, it's not as though nobody in the States can see the satire...plenty of smart Americans around.

What i like a lot in Poledouris' score is the
by KilliK
is the insertion of electronic and metallic sounds which together with the more dramatic pieces of the score (robo visiting his old home sequence) masterfully represent the unique dichotomy of Robo's character: his machine and his human side. Poledouris was a true genius. (well he was a Greek.HA) and we are talking about a score made for a supposed popcorn movie,not a serious dramatic or social movie. it's this kind of care,love and talent that was invested from the creators even in the "less serious" movies that i miss the most from the good old days of Hollywood. now what we get? a robot farting parachutes in a flick for which you dont even remember its score. sigh.

of the first Robocop so there is no need to buy the others.i havent. there has been an blu-ray version of the film,but it was canceled by the studio because it was problematic and a new better one was released by another studio. i suggest to buy the bluray from sites like amazon,play,etc so to be safe that you will buy the new version. more info for the 2 releases can be found in the www.blu-ray.com site. i have bought the new robo bluray and it has a good picture quality so dont listen to those exaggerating criticisms that it sucks.

They replace those amazing wet gunshot wounds with CG in case they need a PG-13 rating. To make matters worse, I think the true foreign directed American satire died after 9/11.

This movie was on my essential list
by malificus
of movies I insisted my boys see as part of their "action movie education". Went back and watched the first Terminator, the third Terminator (for completeness only), Predator and finally got a $10 copy of Robocop around Christmas at BB. All the movies my boys absolutely loved, Aliens is next on the list, just not sure about the whole alien nesting in chest thing, my youngest might not be ready for that but it's essential action fare. Funny watching the trailer for Robocop on the disk, they totally used the music from Terminator, really edited it and sold it like it was similar, which it obviously wasn't.

"Funny watching the trailer for Robocop on the disk, they totally used the music from Terminator, really edited it and sold it like it was similar, which it obviously wasn't." And I remember my old VHS copy of The Terminator having the Robocop trailer on it. (Both from Orion Pictures.) For me the Orion logo music is essentially a part of the opening theme of The Terminator, just as the Fox fanfare is with Star Wars...

NATO Group Continues Duties on Operation Active Endeavour
After a highly successful visit to Aksaz, Turkey, Standing NATO Maritime group 1 (SNMG1) is continuing its mission to bring the message of NATO and Operation Active Endeavour to the maritime community in the eastern Mediterranean.
The recent visit to Aksaz, provided a welcome opportunity to extend hospitality to key regional personalities and enhance the excellent working relationships with the Turkish. The Commander of SNMG1, Rear Admiral Georg von Maltzan, hosted a luncheon and force reception on board his flagship FGS HESSEN for invited guests including the Governor of Aksaz, Governer Fatih Şahin and the Commander of the Southern Task Group Rear Admiral Harmancik Ömer Faruk.
SNMG1 has been leading NATO's enduring commitment to Operation Active Endeavour in the eastern Mediterranean since arriving in the area in late February. The Group currently consists of the German flagship HESSEN, the Turkish frigate TURGUTREIS and the German ship SPESSART. The French supply ship MEUSE is providing support to the Group. All the ships play their part in contributing to the overall aim of the mission; to monitor shipping activity and to detect, deter and protect against terrorist activity in the Mediterranean.
Turkish Frigate TURGUTREIS
Recently members of the force joined up with the U.S. Strike Group consisting of the Aircraft Carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and her escorts, one of which is the German Frigate FGS HAMBURG. The units participated in an air defence exercise involving aircraft from the Carrier conducting mock attacks on the various units. The purpose of the exercise was to train together and extend common understanding of various tactics and procedures.
RADM von Maltzan said, "SNMG 1 is on the second Operational Surge and we have been working closely with the maritime community in the area of the eastern Mediterranean, reassuring mariners and continuing to demonstrate NATO's resolve and solidarity against terrorism. The opportunity to increase our level of warfare training with the U.S. Strike Group was particularly special and demonstrates the Task Groups ability to conduct concurrent operations, should the need arise."
Background Information
1. Operation Active Endeavour is NATO's sole Article 5 Operation on anti-terrorism and was initiated as support to the United States immediately after 9/11. It aims to demonstrate NATO's solidarity and resolve in the fight against terrorism and to help detect and deter terrorist activity in the Mediterranean, whilst keeping the sea lanes safe and protecting shipping. It is also helping to strengthen relations with partner countries participating in the Alliance's Mediterranean Dialogue.
2. SNMG1 is a multinational integrated maritime force that forms part of the NATO Response Force and operates under the Allied Maritime Command in Northwood. The Force is permanently activated and held at high readiness in order to respond to today's security challenges.

Inventor Spotlight - Metin Sitti
Metin Sitti is a Professor in the Mechnical Engineering Department and Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. This prolific inventor is developing geck foot-hairs inspired micro-fiber structures as new repeatable adhesives for a wide range of applications.
Dr. Sitti's interest in geckos began when he was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California at Berkeley. He worked with a team, which included two biologists, to gain a better understanding of the climbing ability of geckos. One of the biologists came up with the idea of using micro/nanoscale gecko foot-hairs as adhesives on a trip to Thailand. The idea of the foot-hairs of this tropical lizard traveled with Dr. Sitti when he accepted a faculty position at CMU, where he continued his research on geckos.
At CMU, Dr. Sitti's research focuses on design and manufacturing of synthetic gecko foot-hairs. His main motivation is to take the basic research that is conducted in the lab and transform it into a real world product that can be useful for society. His expertise in robotics and micro/nanoscale mechanics helped him to develop the synthetic fiber structures and apply them to real world problems.
Dr. Sitti earned his undergraduate degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Physics from Bogazici University in Turkey, and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tokyo. Following post-doctoral work at the University of California at Berkeley, he came to CMU in 2002 and began work on the design and manufacturing of synthetic gecko foot-hairs and he patented this technology at CMU, which forms the basis of his spin-off, nanoGriptech. His company was formed in 2009 and was awarded Phase I SBIR and STTR grants from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense, along with funding from the PA Nanomaterials Commercialization Center, with more funding coming.
nanoGriptech has R&D facilities to design, prototype, and evaluate various fiber adhesive designs. The company focuses on three main applications: sports, robotics, and safety. In the sports arena, a few companies have approached nanoGriptech to help them develop new clothing closures. The unique repeatable polymer is flexible material, which can provide design freedom and lower costs than competing materials such as VelcroTM. Another unique sports application is in gloves where his polymer fiber adhesives can enhance gripping of climbing or receiver gloves.
In robotics, the fiber adhesives can be used as robust attachment materials for new climbing robots, whose applications range from inspection and monitoring of wind turbines, bridges, buildings, etc. to home applications.
In terms of safety, the adhesives can be used to stick onto skin, such as for protective facemasks for the military and chemical industries. The use of the material in facemasks could provide greater safety, security, and comfort, which is important for those in combat and in other hazardous environments.
There are many more applications, such as masks for those with sleep apnea, bandages, packaging, pick-and-place assembly, and space adhesives.
Dr. Sitti's future goal includes developing a generic fiber adhesive to stick to almost any smooth and slightly rough surfaces as in the case of geckos.

Listen, we've written a lot here (see "Related Posts" below) about the state-level implementation of the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare, in all its misshapen, ill-considered, shoddily-drafted glory. "Glory" is not the word I was looking for there, but never mind. This week we mark the two-year anniversary of the enactment of this policy-shaped turd, and the excitement (?) is heightened by the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hear the constitutional challenge to the law next … [Read more...]
Politico Is Telling It Like It Is On Health Care Reform!
Arkansas Lawmakers Sign On To Obamacare Challenge!
...And the worthy effort to topple the rickety structure of the Affordable Care Act continues apace. The libertarian Cato Institute and a host of other organizations from the right side of the political spectrum, along with several hundred state lawmakers from points far and wide, have filed a friend of the court brief urging the Supreme Court to strike down this unholy law. Strike it down, they declaim! Included on the list are 58 Arkansas legislators, all Republicans, whose names I'll not … [Read more...]
GOP House Members, Senators Blast Obamacare in Amicus Brief!
Here's a notable development from late last week that escaped my notice: A sizable contingent of members of Congress (36 senators and 117 representatives, all Republicans, it appears) filed "friend of the court" briefs on Friday, Jan. 6, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare Obamacare unconstitutional, reports the Capitol Hill rag Roll Call. The crux of the matter is that lawmakers question the constitutionality of the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, and argue that the … [Read more...]
Medical Device Tax Is Yet Another Looming Obamacare Nightmare!
Hey, guess who's back after a holiday break? (Answer: Me). I hope your New Year's resolutions include reading up on the continuing terribleness of Obamacare. Because if not, we're gonna have a tough year together. We've been chronicling the unspeakable havoc wreaked by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, most recently with our post a few weeks ago on how a new 10 percent excise tax on indoor tanning services had hurt a number of small businesses in Arkansas and nationwide. Today … [Read more...]
Obamacare Early Retiree Program That Sent $2 Million to Arkansas Now Broke!
As I'm sure you've by now figured out, one of my favorite activities on this site is underscoring the relentless terribleness of Obamacare. Ha ha, what an utterly foreseeable disaster! If I so desired, I could probably post daily updates chronicling the gradually unfolding horrors of this incompetent law. But "daily updates" sounds like something that would entail just a whole lot of effort, so let's not. Instead we'll keep up our customary leisurely pace of "taking occasional note," which … [Read more...]
Doing Our Part: How States Can Shut Down Obamacare
Last week we saw the not-at-all lamented demise of the Arkansas health insurance exchange. Following, we were treated to a spasm of recrimination from various quarters on the Arkansas left, accusing those who opposed the exchange of having doomed the Natural State to a future of grim slavery under the heavy boot-heel of a federally-run exchange. But is that true? Will the feds, in fact, be running the Arkansas health benefits exchange? Not so fast! The short (6 minute) interview at the top … [Read more...]
Now Let's Shed A Tear For The Arkansas Health Insurance Exchange! But Not Really (Update!)
And it came to pass that there would be no state-run Obamacare health insurance exchange in Arkansas, and there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. State Insurance Commissioner Jay Bradford issued a tear-stained news release today (PDF) announcing the death of the (unlamented) state exchange, the demise of which he attributes to "legislative opposition" (read: opposition from minority Republican lawmakers). Oh, but if only Arkansas had had a Democratic governor in the … [Read more...]
No Bad News! The Obamacare Hits, They Keep On Coming
Oh, Arkansas state government officials! I suppose we must credit you for your commitment, given how unflagging you have been in your efforts to shove Obamacare down our throats. Latest exhibit: Monday's state-sponsored forum ("Health Care Reform: A New Hope") at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, hosted by the state Surgeon General Joe Thompson and the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's Sarah Wire was on hand to chronicle the … [Read more...]

Drawing, "Textile Design, Petunias, Honeysuckle, and Berries", 1897–1898
Brush and watercolor, graphite on dark cream wove paper. Gift of Aimee B. Troyen. 2012-15-1.
- Designed by Alphonse Maria Mucha
What is this?
Printed textile design with hollyhocks in foreground, a "C"-shaped honeysuckle vine curving around the hollyhocks from lower right to upper left, and a meandering abstract design in monochrome in the background.
Why is this in our collection?
While textile designs were not a major part of his graphic production, Mucha produced a number of designs for printed fabrics between 1897 and 1898 (as recorded in the artist's diaries). All of these were handled by the firm of Carl Gustave Forrer (b.1852), an industrial draftsman of Swiss origin established in Paris at 40, rue des Jeuneurs and in Sannois, 190 rue de Paris. The Forrer firm sent the designs to an Alsatian printing firm, Sheurer, Lauth & Cie and possibly a London shop for manufacture. It is not clear how many of Mucha's designs were actually produced or how they were used. Comparatively few printed textiles are known today. Examples may be found in the... more
