3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong voice actors
The movie is and always has been great, my problem with this release is the English voice actors. Why they re-dubbed something that was perfectly fine to begin with is ridiculous and of course someone like Dakota Fanning isn't going to do these characters justice.

Every good thing you've read in these reviews is correct. This is an absolute feast for the eyes and imagination.... however.... this edition is not widescreen, it's pan & scan (full screen), so you'll miss some of this animator's breathtaking scenery and composition.
Miyazaki's artistry is such that he uses every single inch of space on a screen, and for me, to watch it in pan & scan is to insult his work. Unfortunately there is no "complete" version of the film available here yet, although Disney is supposed to be releasing one when FOX's rights to the film have expired. All the other available works by Miyazaki are done beautifully in the United States. It's a travesty that this "signature" film of his is still only available in this "somewhat less than whole" version.
So buy this and watch it, but only if you promise yourself to re-buy it when the whole film becomes available. I've seen this picture many, many times (I'm 45 years old - so it really is for kids of all ages) and it has something new for me every time I see it. Plus, I've seen it both wide-screen AND pan & scan (full screen) and I can tell you that the difference is worth seeking out (it's available wide from Japan and China if you own an all-region DVD player) or waiting until it comes out properly here.
WIDESCREEN - 5 stars
Full Screen - 4 (maybe 3.5) stars

I wish I could find the original streamline release with the good voice actors on it, because this has just disappointed me greatly, I feel it is a complete waste of money if you're trying to recapture the nostalgia of your first time watching,

4.0 out of 5 stars Totoro : A Delightul Neighbor,
L. Mintah "Author of the Heart" (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
Japanese animated filmaker Hayao Miyazaki has a deep and abiding love of nature, and of the Japanese Shinto spirits who live deep in the forest. Miyazaki shares this love in this wonderful film about two young girls who go to live with their father in a country house in rural Japan, far removed from the city lights of Tokyo.
One of Miyazaki's gifts is how he captures the mannerisms of children, especially little girls. The boisterous innocence of how the sisters laugh and play, however, does not mean they are not capable of deep sensitivity. Indeed, the serious part of this story is that their mother is sick in a hospital.
The new house and new neighbors provide many adventures for the girls, who soon discover the friendly and magical Shinto spirits who dwell in the nearby woods. Like an old-fashioned European fairy-tale, the spirits, who would normally be hidden, respond to the girl's kindness. One especially memorable scene happens when the girls are waiting at the rural bus stop for their father to come home from visiting his wife.
From a summer sky suddenly dark and about to burst with rain, to a slow setting of the sun, the animation in Totoro is amazing in it's simplicity. The quiet nature scenes are extremely relaxing for adults, who will become nostalgic for their childhood while viewing this classic.
One scene is deeply moving and speaks of the bonds that can form between people who aren't even related. It is of an old woman praying fervently for the little sister, who has become lost while trying to find her way to her mother. This scene, and the climactic ending, will touch your heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even my three-year old likes this one!,
This review is from: My Neighbor Totoro (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
A sweet, bright and cheerful movie for adults and kids alike. You will be amazed at the attention to detail in both the artistry and the characters. Miyazaki studies his medium from every angle, and presents a piece of artwork that is beautiful to behold.

This review is from: My Neighbor Totoro (2-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
I've owned this movie for at least 10 year and my children and I have watched it over and over as they have grown. I have just bought extra copies for my young nieces. It's charming and funny and will entertain anyone from about age 4 up. The key elements of the story line are easy to follow and the children in the movie do some of the strange little things that kids do when confronted with unusual situations, which make them seem real and endearing. Sometimes the translated dialogue comes out a little clumsy, but for me, it adds to the charm.
Don't worry if you are not a fan of anime or are turned off by the coarse looking character animation -- by about 15 mins into the movie you won't even care. This is classical animation, not multi-billion polygon computer animation, and Miyazaki and his animators create gorgeous backgrounds that capture glorious mixes of form and shadow for their characters to play in. My kids and I have often commented when traveling, "Those look like Totoro clouds" or "Camphor tree!! Camphor tree!!".
Pick up this classic - you won't be disappointed!
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful movie,
Chouster (Canada) - See all my reviews
Miyazaki is simply brilliant and it shows in his works. This movie exudes charm and can be enjoyed but anyone.
If you're not familiar with Studio Ghibli, or Hayao Miyazaki, collectively, they are responsible for a large number of blockbuster Japanese animation films. Studio Ghibli's movies are only beginning to gain a presence in the North American market, in spite of the fact that they have been released years ago. Many have been influenced by these movies including John Lasseter, director of Pixar's A Bug's Life and the Toy Story series. He calls Miyazaki's works as being "the most inspirational films".
This movie is about a father and his two daughters who have moved into a new house located in a rural village. While the mother is in the hospital, the two girls begin to explore the surroundings of their new dwelling. In one unexpected chance, Mei discovers a Totoro. Without spoiling too much, the film explores the encounter and their subsequent meetings.
Although the plot does not seem overly complex, it needn't be. It takes a simple plot and still manages to capture your interest.
Intertwined with a great soundtrack, this movie is for anyone. I would greatly encourage anyone to delve into the Studio Ghibli world of animation.
5.0 out of 5 stars the finest family movie to ever come out of Japan,
By A Customer
Master filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has created a delightful work of sheer beauty in My Neighbor Totoro. The story centers around two girls who move into the countryside with their father. Their mother is in the hospital, and when she seems to be getting better, she has a relapse. An urgent telegram is sent to the house, where it is read by Satsuki (the older sister). Neither child knows how to react to this; Mei runs away, and it is up to Satsuki and the Totoro of the forest to find her.
I first saw this movie when the original Fox VHS came out (I was about 5 at that point, and got it as a Christmas present), and continue to be enchanted by it today. As soon as I heard that it was being released on DVD, I ordered a copy, but alas, I should have waited.
To those of you who have the VHS and are considering the DVD, and even to those who have the Fox DVD, I strongly reccomend ordering a copy of the Disney/Studio Ghibly version. It is true that dubbing a movie can do tremendious injustice to a foreign film, and the Japanese language track is a feature that should have been included on the Fox release. Also note that the second disk will be packed with features, including storyboard drawings, cast interviews, and a myriad of other interesting morsels.
5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, Cute, and Heartwarming.,
Jewels "bookgrrl" (United States) - See all my reviews
My Neighbor Totoro has become one of my animated favorites. It is a simple and delightful tale of all ages. I believe it to be a masterpiece. The characters are believable...the story is simplistic, yet heartwarming. I found myself in both laughter and tears with this film.
The story takes place in Japan. Two young girls and their father find a new home. Their mother is in the hospital for an unknown illness. As they spend more time in the home, the youngest girl Mei, finds a forest den in which little totoros and the King Totoro lives.
My first impression of the film was that it seemed outdated. The animations were well done and charming, but didn't seem as crisp and colorful as today's films. Still I understand that it is an older movie.
The movie ended way too quickly because I wanted to keep watching more, but it took a sudden end. It was a complete and fullfilling ending nevertheless, it just felt like there should've been more in the middle. I thought I would be seeing more of the Catbus and Totoro, (since the movie is named, "My Neighbor Totoro"). The presence of the cute furry animals seemed short lived. Still, the adventures two sisters go on is unforgettable.
I do not thing very young kids or anyone with a short attention span would enjoy this film, because the film focuses a lot on a simple adventures and many times slow story progression. The scenes are memorable, artistic, and imaginative, but it still takes a tentive viewer to enjoy it without getting anxious for some action.
Overall, I give the feature of this film 5 Stars. Everything about it from beginning to end had great qualities to it. The DVD version of this isn't very impressive because it lacks features. So if you buy DVDs for their features, this one lacks them.
Delightful, cute, and heartwarming...it's a film that everyone needs to watch now and then, to relax and enjoy the pleasurable things in life.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Kid Classic,
Beardyjin "beardyjin" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews
Get ready to fall in love with a big furry, well, Totoro. This movie takes place in Japan pre-WWII and revolves around 2 young girls moving into a mysterious new house on the edge of a forest. Together they become friends with the King of the Forest: Totoro. Kids and adults of all ages fell in love with Totoro when the movie was 1st released in Japan and he continues to be a merchandising powerhouse (and logo) for Studio Ghibli--the Japanese Disney--even today.
Totoro, however, is better than your average Disney flick. No singing candlesticks, no violence, no death. The drama comes from family situations from a childs point of view. And not everything in this film is pre-packaged and shrink-wrapped. The story allows a childs imagination to work into the story, too.
If you're just a parent looking for a great DVD for your kids, then get this DVD now! It's a bargain at $10. However, if you're a fan of anime and the DVD format in general, I suggest you wait until Aug. 2004 when a special 2 disc DVD set is released in the USA by Disney of all people.
5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful movie finally getting the treatment it deserves.,
Jonathon Turner "Jon Turner" (Highland Park, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
Given that I've already given a rave review of MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO for the recently released FOX DVD version, I won't be going too much into detail about the film on this page. However, I will say that the only thing which will be missing from Disney's long-delayed but finally evitable DVD release will be the dated yet extremely well-done English version by Streamline Pictures. Although that dub is hailed, even by longtime Carl Mecak deriders, as an excellent dub (and I agree wholeheartedly), its sound quality was sadly mono, and not as strong as the recent Disney dubs have been. On that level, it might be nice to grab the FOX release as well.
That said, I'm still willing to give this new English dub a chance. Although I don't think it will replace the Streamline version, I still think it will be enjoyable on its own merits. Produced by the same folks doing the dubs for SPIRITED AWAY, PORCO ROSSO, and NAUSICAA - writers Cindy and Davis Hewitt - (the earlier yet still excellent dubs by Disney, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE, PRINCESS MONONOKE, and CASTLE IN THE SKY, were directed by Jack Fletcher), I have no reason to doubt that it will be another worthwhile addition to the top-quality translations Disney made. The voice cast includes two actual sister actresses playing Satsuki and Mei, which is a very clever choice on Disney's part. I bet this'll make them sound all the more authentic. Dakota Fanning is set to play Satsuki, while Elle will voice little Mei. There's no shortage of talent in the cast, either. Timothy Daly (WINGS) is going to be the girls' dad, and, surprisingly, Lea Salonga (wonderful in her performances as the leading role in MISS SAIGON and the singing voices of Jasmine in ALADDIN and the title character in MULAN) will be their mother. I had a bit of trouble adjusting to it, but Carroll has said that she previously played comic and/or supporting roles, so I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt. I expect that, like CASTLE IN THE SKY, there will be unfavorable comparisons from purists between the two English versions (not to mention the original Japanese), but if you're like me, who loves the dubs and doesn't care about what naysayers think, you'd probably do best to ignore these guys and watch the movies however you like.
That said, this new Disney release is said to be including the original Japanese language track (which the FOX release didn't have)... as well as an anamorphic widescreen presentation (the FOX DVD was pan & scan), so this version comes as an unquestionably highly recommended purchase even before it's released. I'll be updating this review when I get my hands on it, but in the meantime, animation buffs, mark your calenders for August 31!

Blessed Julia Chester Emery
Especially amazing for the time, she visited every diocese in the United States in support of foreign missions, and also traveled to England, China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines to encourage the work of the missions. Based on her first hand experience, she was able to be particularly effective in raising great support for those missions from the Episcopal women of the United States.
Perhaps her biggest gift to the Church was founding the United Thank Offering (UTO) which exists to this day, and which makes grants of millions of dollars to worthy ministries at home and abroad. Her feast day, being the day of her entrance into the Larger Life in 1922, is January 9th.

*Also California Angels and Anaheim Angels
Today's tree is Kevin Mitchell being trade from the Mets to the Giants. I picked this one because I on my Dad's old TWIB VHS tape that I watched repeatedly they showed Mitchell's one handed grab.
Some interesting names show up in this tree, not least of all David Wright who is still with the team. A lot of Kevins are in the tree (and no, it's not that Kevin Brown). St. Louis fans will probably remember Joe McEwing, the Little Mac to mark McGwire's Big Mac. There's a dude named "Gooch" in there. And fans of The Dugout will notice PECOTA.

Your comment is exactly what Zarhym was a problem. It was not bugged, it was working as intended. There was no fault that prevented players from getting it. He discussed players who don't understand the difference between a bug and a low drop rate. They added a change to increase the droprate because they wanted to help players, not because it was bugged or otherwise unobtainable. It was, in fact, working exactly as intended. The hotfix is not indicative of the opposite.

GREENEVILLE (AP) - The domestic assault case of state Rep. David Hawk has been bound over to a grand jury.
The Greeneville Republican was charged in March. At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, a judge heard testimony from two sheriff's deputies and Hawk's wife, Crystal.
According to The Greeneville Sun, she testified that her husband threw her out of bed the morning of March 18, then struck her in the face, giving her a black eye.
Hawk has denied striking his wife. He said she pulled a gun on him and threatened to shoot.
Crystal Hawk testified Tuesday that there were no guns in the house.
Hawk, who is seeking re-election in November, didn't testify at the hearing. But he told reporters after the proceeding that he's "completely innocent."

3 Remarkable Occupations You Haven't Heard Enough About
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of AlterNet articles profiling Occupations around the country. Tune in for the next one tomorrow.
Occupy Wall Street has spread like wildfire to all corners of the globe. No matter the distance between them, the protests bear a striking resemblance to one another in spirit, courage and resolve. The non-hierarchical decentralized structure, the inclusiveness and cooperation are staples of the occupations. The authoritarian response that accompanies any powerful uprising is also a constant among the protests, with little exception.
As the eyes of the country are glued to Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of Occupy Wall Street, and to Oakland, where the violent police response has ignited a historical series of protests, OWS offshoots in over 900 cities worldwide are building communities and transforming the world despite all the obstacles.
Here are three occupations around the country that are thriving despite various underhanded schemes to crush them.
Occupy Tucson (Arizona)
The city of Tucson has avoided attention-grabbing police raids. They're trying to quell protests using a quieter approach.
Occupy Tucson has been camped out at Armory Park, just two blocks from the city's financial district, since October 15. Every night since, police enter the park at the 10:30pm curfew armed, not with riot gear and paddy wagons, but with a pad of citations or written arrests. Each citation amounts to a class one misdemeanor that carries up to $1,000 in fines , up to six months in jail, and up to three years probation. Occupy Tucson activists refer to these tactics as "financial and legal attrition to kill the movement."
Craig Barber, 28, an Occupy Tucson protester who describes himself as an "underemployed professional with unaffordable student debt," says the Tucson Police Department has issued over 400 criminal citations thus far. This includes protesters in the two nearby satellite camps at Veinte de Agosto Park and Library Park. There is a permanent presence of roughly 100 protesters every night, many of whom have received multiple citations.
"I think that the city of Tucson has been watching the national theater and has noticed that the physical reaction does in fact galvanize more support, so they're using the more insidious tactic of legally intimidating the occupiers as well as financially bleeding the movement and also overwhelming our legal support," said Barber, adding that the handful of attorneys volunteering their time to support the cause are swamped by the sheer volume of citations.
There is a growing concern that the potential for criminal charges is stifling participation. "If you're a teacher or somebody who needs to pass a criminal background check for your employment, a criminal misdemeanor charge is a real concern," said Barber. "There is also the chilling effect that it has on people who would want to come and participate in the occupation, but can't necessarily afford a $1,000 fine per night or afford to have a misdemeanor charge on their record."
The citation protocol has also distracted the movement by diverting energy away from their original goals. "We started out wanting to protest the issues of economic inequality and disenfranchisement in our democracy because of corporate financing of politicians, but now because of the city of Tucson's response to the movement, our priorities have shifted to defending our first amendment protected activities."
Despite phone call and email campaigns demanding that city council members change the citation policy, and marches to city council meetings, Tucson representatives have remained silent on the issue. Having given up on swaying the city government to step up, members of the legal working group are in the process of filing a lawsuit against the city.

Ensuring you are on a Ride that's right for you, and ensuring you are ready for the physical and technical demands of a Ride, is of utmost importance to us. It helps ensure that you will be riding with people of similar skill level and won't be holding up the group or be held up by others - and can ride at the pace you want to ride at.
This is a challenge for the whole mountain bike adventure industry, but here's how we're addressing this issue:
We've developed a 9-point skill and fitness rating system, with the help of one of our senior coaches and guides (see below)
When booking, we ask each Rider to tell us about their mountain biking experience, and to let us know if they've ever traveled with their mountain bike. The answers are reviewed by our staff and provide valuable insight as to whether or not the desired Ride is a good fit for them.
We follow up with a phone call if we think a Rider might not be quite up to the challenge (or might be 'over qualified') for certain Rides and discuss their skill level and fitness in detail to discover whether they are indeed a good fit, or if another Ride might be more suitable
And finally, if people do slip through and end up on a Ride that is too challenging for them, we'll add a 3rd guide to the trip (if available, and they usually are) so that the main group can ride at their preferred pace (with 2 guides) while the 3rd guide rides with the slower group - everyone's happy!
Please read the following guidelines carefully, and pick the levels that best describe your skill and fitness. If you are unsure if a trip is right for you, please contact us. If you are interested in taking part in one of our Singletrack or Bring-Your-Partner adventures but aren't quite ready yet, consider signing up for one of our Explorer Rides.
Level 1/Newbie
· You've never ridden a mountain bike before.
Level 2/Beginner
· You have limited experience with off-road trail riding
· You may have done some road riding
· You are reasonably fit and adventurous.
Level 3/Strong Beginner
· You're hooked but still lack the skills to tackle terrain beyond beginner level
· You know how to use your gears and brakes properly but when the terrain gets technical, you have to get off your bike and walk
· You can handle singletrack as long as it is smooth and with few rocks or roots.
Level 4/Intermediate
· You have good general trail riding skills
· You're capable of controlling bike speed and direction on moderate singletrack
· You ride at least 2-3 times/month during riding season.
Level 5/Strong Intermediate
· You feel confident on intermediate-level trails
· You can handle undulating terrain, have good control of your brakes and know how to shift gears appropriately so that you don't get off your bike too often
· You can handle terrain that is slightly technical, with smaller rocks and roots and can climb on singletrack as long as it is not technical.
Level 6/Intermediate Advanced

|The evaluation of radiation damage in materials submitted to intense irradiation is a challenging problem for the nuclear industry. Ion beams provide efficient tools to both simulate the interactions involved during the slowing-down of energetic particles and characterize the damage induced by irradiation with the channeling technique. This article presents new results and modeling regarding the disorder depth distribution and the damage build-up in nuclear materials irradiated with low- and high-energy ions which allow exploring the nuclear collision and electronic excitation regimes. A new phenomenon (SHIBIEC), leading to the recovery by electronic excitation of the damage created by ballistic collisions, is also discussed. 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Fixed frequency bandpass filters 1Hz/15kHz tuning range
Customised fixed frequency bandpass filters, finding application in vibration and noise measurement where specific components of a wideband signal spectrum need be highlighted.
Applications include monitoring and quality test procedures relating to fixed speed rotating machinery, enhancing fault diagnosis, or generalising, bandwidth constraint to improve signal/noise or highlight spectral components. Input signal should be steady state or slow varying in the sense that filter transient response is damped oscillatory and therefore colours the output.
Inputs derived from rotating plant may vary infrequency due to load factors etc... Filter bandwidth fmax- fmin may be extended to compensate, however fmax/fmin>2 will introduce fmin harmonics into the passband.
BP/04 filters are configured as either a stagger tuned triple two pole bandpass for overall bandwidth < 0.3fo(/N), or as a cascaded 7 pole high/low pass Butterworth pair for bandwidth > 0.3fo(/W). Both versions comprise active 2 pole R-C sections but differ conceptually due to variations in tuning requirement.
Passband gain is unity, in the stopband gain rails asymptotically to zero for each type, limited practically by breakthrough. A front panel mounted switch provides a filter bypass facility (DIR).
For BP/04/N, it is sufficient to specify centre frequency (fo) and Q or % bandwidth. For BP/04/W, fmax and fmin (-3dB corner frequencies) should be referenced.
- fo, fmax, fmin: centre freq. upper & lower -3dB corner freq's
- -3dB bandwidth = 1/Q = (fmax- fmin)/fo,applicable to /N
- fo= fmaxx fmin

Flight 714 (The Adventures of Tintin 22)
Amazon.com Review
Flight 714, Herge's second-to-last completed Tintin story, is a high adventure featuring a gallery of returning characters, though it's a new character, Laszlo Carreidas, "the millionaire who never laughs," who starts the trouble by inviting Tintin and his friends to skip their commercial flight to Sidney to accompany him on his private jet. That leads to a complicated ransom plot, and the action just gets more outlandish from there. Suspend disbelief, though, and Flight 714 is one of Tintin's more thrilling rides. --David Horiuchi
The Adventures of Tintin (also known as The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn[4] in the United Kingdom) is a 2011 American performance capture 3D film based on The Adventures of Tintin, a series of comic books created by Belgian artist Hergé (Georges Remi). Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, and written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the film is based on three of the original comic books: The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943), and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944).[5]
Spielberg first acquired rights to produce a film based upon the Adventures of Tintin series following Hergé's death in 1983, and re-optioned them in 2002. Filming was due to begin in October 2008 for a 2010 release, but release was delayed to 2011 after Universal opted out of producing the film with Paramount, who provided $30 million on pre-production. Sony chose to co-produce the films. The delay resulted in Thomas Sangster, who had been cast as Tintin, departing from the project. Producer Peter Jackson, whose company Weta Digital is providing the computer animation, intends to direct a sequel. Spielberg and Jackson also hope to co-direct a third film.[6] --Wikipedia
--This text refers to the
Yet again, we get a glimpse of Herge's creative genius in this action-packed Tintin adventure. This Tintin adventure is unlike any other simply because it has hints of being based on some sort of a magical success-formula, not unlike one that would ensure a James Bond movie box-office hit! In sort, it features an eccentric millionaire, an airplane hijacking, a secret island base of Tintin's archrival- the evil Rastapopulous, the return of Captain Haddock's nemesis- Allan (from "The Crab with the Golden Claws", "The Red Sea Sharks"), and also the return of a friend-Skut (from "The Red Sea Sharks"), lot's of gunmen, volcano eruptions, and even a mysterious alien encounter. The plot is quite simple: Rastapopulous wishes to obtain millionaire Lazslo Carreidas's fortune related secrets- of course with the aid of a scientist's "truth formula" injection. However, getting Tintin, Captain Haddock, Snowy, and Professor Calculus into the picture changes the simplicity of the equation. The artwork, as is the case with the last Tintin book (Tintin and the Picaros), is simply outstanding among all Tintin books-which are already top quality in the first place! One scene I fondly remember is that of Allan catching sight of a monkey and then trying to recall who it reminds him of (based on the shape of its nose), and then realizing that it reminds him of none other than his boss-Rastapopulous. Herge's drawing of Allan's facial expressions (and even Rastapopulous's, as he seems to realize what's in Allan's mind) in this sequence, yet again, displays how effortlessly he could make his characters "talk" to the reader. It is peculiar to note how different this adventure is to its preceding one-The Castafiore Emerald, in which, our heroes don't even leave Marlinshire. Perhaps, Herge himself longed for Tintin to go on another exciting adventure. Definitely, one of the best Tintin stories, great for all ages and very entertaining!!!
"Flight 714" is sort of the generic Adventure of Tintin, with a little bit of everything that Hergé put into his stories to make this one of the landmark comic book series since Cortes discovered pre-Columbian picture manuscripts in 1519. A Qantas Boeing 707, Flight 714 from London touches down at Kemajoran Airport in Djakarta, java, last stop before Sydney, Australia. Disembarking is our hero, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus. As they stretch their legs the good Captain spots a forlorn figure and slips a $5 bill into the man's hat. Of course no good deed of Haddock's goes unpunished and it turns out the old man is Mr. Carreidas, "The millionaire who never laughs." Well, Professor Calculus quickly takes care of that and Carreidas insists on flying Tintin and his friends to Australia on his special jet. Haddock is looking forward to a pleasure trip, an ordinary flight and no adventures, but fate has something else in mind.
"Flight 714," which actually does not have a single panel of the titular plane being anyplace other than on the ground, offers up a hijacking, a cutting edge prototype means of transportation, an exotic island in the middle of nowhere, an evil scientist with truth serum, a gigantic stone head pagan idol, a threatening lava flow, the return of an old familiar villain, a space ship, and Tintin running around a lot with a gun. Pretty much all of these elements have popped up in the previous twenty Adventures of Tintin that Hergé had told over the previous decades. For that reason this particular adventure strikes me as something of a curtain call for Tintin and his friends, even though this is the penultimate tale and the Thom(p)sons are no place to be seen. The chief charm is that Calculus has somebody new to tangle with in Carriedas, thereby relieving Captain Haddock of the responsibility for testing the eccentric professor's patience. So I see "Flight 714" as being an average offering from Hergé, which still means it is an above average comic book adventure. I only have one Adventure of Tintin left to read and I want to treasure the moment when I choose to find out how it all ends.
files. To
more picky readers, this book would probably be rated quite
low, but to me, I think herge was just simply expressing
himself into the book in a different way than ever before.
P.S.: While writing the book just before this one, Herge
suffered a majore depretion, and perhapps he changed
his style of storytelling

Breastfeeding in public
A child on the breast is one of the most intimate and loving acts out there. It's life itself passed on from one person to another, from mother to child. It's a beautiful process to witness how energy and security is shared. We see how much a baby needs this, not just for nutritional need but also for the baby's emotional development.
As a third-person you may think there isn't much to do for you. Though, nothing less is true. Mothers who breastfeed need to feel supported. And that's just as important as the act of breastfeeding itself. Without support a mother wouldn't be able to do it.
Support includes, among other things, the security of housing and food, as well as warmth, time for breastfeeding and love. But it also includes full support for public breastfeeding. There is quite some men that do not support public breastfeeding. As a result (among other reasons) many women fear to feed their babies in public. They use a blanket to cover it up or stay home. Since many babies don't like to be covered when older, many mothers stop breastfeeding much sooner than desired.
Therefore shame on us men! I know it's hard to disassociate breasts from sex. We rather not see a woman's breast out in the open feeding a baby; it makes many of us feel embarrassed. This is a real threat. Because of many men who are unable to support public breastfeeding, babies get less of it. And because we see less of it, we are less able to deal with it in a natural way. And that's something that really could use more attention.
Hello Debian
I bought myself a new laptop, a Lenovo Edge E130. I have tried to work with one of my four old ones, but I had to give up on them one by one. It was no use trying to revive them anymore and I decided it was time to finally buy something new for myself. It was the first time since 2010.
But I didn't want to buy a laptop and spend needless money. And with that I mean for example paying extra for a brand or for an operating system that I do not use. After searching for a while I found out you can buy laptops for pretty cheap in Germany. These laptops come without the Windows operating system. Hence you save around 80 euro, and even more compared to what I pay for the same laptop in my own country.
Next was deciding which operating system to install on it. I have been a GNU/Linux-user since 2003 and I have been attached to Arch Linux since 2008 or so. But I had grown tired of Arch as a rolling-release and having to update my system at least every week or else at some point you will have to fix stuff, while at the same time you are just to do something important with the computer. That sucks. I mean, why is it that the word deprecated is almost like the most used on the Archlinux website?
So I went for good old Debian. And it rocks! The installation went as a fly, I just needed to plug in an ethernet-cable to download the firmware for my wireless driver and after that it was all set. Since that time I only have very few updates and my system has never failed on me. The only downside of running Debian is that you don't always have the lastest software but this doesn't kill me. The only software I really like to run the latest version is Firefox, and that's easily to be solved through backports. So that's it: from now on I will stick to Debian and will recommend it above anything else.
Life without Money
Living without money is a fun thing to do. It challenges you to live beyond the limits the current society imposes and it makes the best of you come out. How will you still eat, where will you sleep, how do you move around?
For a while now I am running a website in Dutch that covers these topics, and I provide examples of people living this way. The website is becoming a nice success, with around 5000 visitors a month.
For Kasper this was a clear sign he wanted to bring the website over the language border and make an English version of it. And so here it is: Moneyless.org. It is still fresh, and it isn't as well covered as the Dutch version, but with every new article it will become a better guide on how to live a free live without money.
Flickr, seo and backlinks
There used to be a time I wasn't aware of how valuable a link can be. Now I am. Since I got my head into SEO and started making money of my websites through advertisements, I recognize how much value a link is: it could mean a big difference in terms of income.
But not all links are equal. Some are really valuable while others are of less value. My links from my Flickr profile for example are of no value. Flickr censors the hyper links with a "no-follow" attribution. This means that search engines pay much less attention to those links. The pain for me is though that my photos are used quite a lot over the Internet, and hence I receive a lot of links to my profile. While those links technically belong to me, Flickr doesn't share the value of those links with me.
So I have been thinking how I can still make use of all the value that sharing my photos on the Internet brings. And there is a way. I hunt down websites that use any of my photos and ask them kindly to change the back-link from Flickr to the photo-galleries on this website for example. Or if there are photos on it about Istanbul, to my Istanbul website. Like this I will build up a better ranking for those websites directly and sharing free content pays off directly.
Back to Istanbul
History lives further in the present as things from the past are part of where we are right now. Writing about Istanbul for my new Istanbul website makes me wonder about my old stories and photos. Where are they?!
The challenge leads me into rereading thiose old stories and looking back at my photos. I am actually very happy about this. Because what a waste otherwise it would be that those things from the past would just be in a drawer, never to be looked at again.
Free Pirate
Parks in spring. I couldn't help but smiling to the photographer who was sitting there to wait for the right shot… The balloon exploded in Novi's hands a couple of seconds later.
New Project: Greengeek.nl
O.k. I must confess. I am a geek. There, that's it. That's the confession. I may have never told anyone, or maybe no-one has noticed before but I am in fact a geek. I have always been one. Actually I think we are all a bit geeky. One just has to come out.
So, just to make sure I won't forget, I started a new project with my fellow geeky friend Kasper. We call this project Green Geek. Because green is also what we are. Why? Because green people taste better…
Dumpster Diving Photos
This photo is taken almost a year back already. I was going around dumpster diving Amsterdam West, to the market and some supermarkets. One of the things we found was a tree with trash-fruits… And the plants we found are still blossoming at home. A gallery of photos is available at Dumpsterdam.

The "Restore Our Roads" campaign in Huntsville focused on another road Wednesday.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, along with other local leaders, held a news conference at the Mastin Lake Road overpass on North Memorial Parkway. It is one of 14 road projects the Alabama Department of Transportation is delaying due to budget cutbacks.
The $20 million project has been under design for about 13 years. The originally estimated 2018 start date has been pushed back to 2023.
"This is a commitment from the state, no matter if the Governor is Robert Bentley, no matter if the Governor was somebody else," said Mayor Battle. "This is a commitment that we would like to ask the state to look at and to help us."
City officials say delaying critical road projects will only stifle growth and add further congestion.

25 Year Old Female Trying to Look More Her Age - Orlando, FL
Dr. T seems like a quiet man but he is super nice and polite and explains everything very clearly. I like that he is a family man ( he cares a lot about his mother). He just seems more personable and easy to talk to. He is very confident in what he does, which he should be. It makes you feel better knowing you are choosing a doctor who has been in practice for so long and is confident.

Never met him and seemed very arrogant. Didn't care about me one bit and it seemed like I was just dollar signs to him and not a patient.

Types of renovation
New home space addition
Home exterior makeovers
Customer requirements
Give the house a grand style more fitting of its location along the St. Lawrence River. At the same time, make a little room for expansion in order to accommodate a desk, an exercise machine and a guest room and improve the windows on the back to better enjoy the river view.
Report of the technologist
Seeing this magnificent site, we had no choice but to give this home a makeover worthy of a waterfront property. On the river side, we added some cathedral windows for maximum view. This resulted in a glassed space in the living / dining room, which the owners can now enjoy. The atmosphere created gives the impression of living outdoors all year so the view is always interesting. Of course, the four sides have been reworked in order to harmonize the changes and new landscaping provides the finishing touch.

Should TED allow demonstrations of military equipment and uniform on the TED stage?
This may be the first time explicit military equipment has been demonstrated on a TED stage.
What are your reactions and feelings about this?
One TED Community member wrote: "I hope this is the last time I see a military uniform on the TED stage for the purpose of hawking military weaponry... And let's be clear, any tool manufactured for the express purpose of increasing the effectiveness of military personnel is military hardware. "
Some questions:
Will this video TED Talk be used for marketing purposes for military equipment?
Would TED consider re-posting this TED Talk after editing out the first military equipment demonstration?
Where do you feel that the line be drawn?
Invite you to raise and share your feelings, thoughts and questions with the global TED community...

Mar 31 2011: People like to object in forums like this to see their ideas posted. We are in a democracy and this is well within your rights but you do not have a right to decide for me what I do or do not watch on Ted. If you don't like the content of a particular presentation than go to another. Protesting about the content of a particular presentation is a waste of your time that could be better spent on volunteering to help someone or some group. Complaining about this is the same as certain people, (aka pacifists), getting all bent out of shape because other people have the right to firearms. It's like the liberals and pacifists that voted for Obama. The concept of a new face in the White House may be a good idea in theory but the reality of voting in a rookie senator has created a real mess. We have run away spending, record unemployment, transparent borders and an health care system that was designed to help groups like ACORN and the people they support.and not people who work for a living.
So what do you think about my posting? If you don't like it don't read it but you do not have the right to censure what TED posts on it's site.
As a finishing note all of the technology we use today in our everyday lives is a spin off of a military application. Internet, computers, cell phone, GPS, our cars and flying are just a few technologies we use these days to make our lives richer.
Have a nice day. :-)

Last Friday was Ladies Night in the Everglades. But unlike other women who may have spent the evening dancing and imbibing in the Magic City, Lauresa Musgrove of Loxahatchee and Linda Demmer of East Lansing, Mich., bagged two nine-foot alligators hunting with crossbow and harpoon from an airboat in a vast marsh west of the Sawgrass Expressway.
The pairs only real male assistance came from Bryan Swink of West Palm Beach, who drove them around the swamp, helped spot targets and loaded the bang-stick, or explosive charge, for the women to dispatch their quarry.
Id never done a ladies hunt before, Swink marveled afterward. That was fun. No mishaps. It was very relaxing.
Perhaps it was relaxing because he was hosting two very experienced hunters. Demmer, whose husband, Bill, is the president of the Boone & Crockett Club a national hunting conservation and record-keeping group has been hunting since childhood. She has bagged Cape buffalo in Africa, black bear in Canada and a seven-foot gator on the Kissimmee River three years ago. Musgrove, a six-year veteran gator hunter, serves as hunt master for the Florida Youth Hunting program and is chair of the board of the Florida Sportsmens Conservation Club.
Musgrove was among more than 6,300 hunters chosen by lottery earlier this year to take part in the 2013 statewide gator harvest season that runs from Aug. 15 through Nov. 1. Permit holders are allowed to take two gators of any size. Demmer signed up as an agent, or helper. Both women hoped to get a gator-skin rug out of the outing to be prepared by a taxidermist member of Musgroves club.
Riding around the Everglades in Swinks airboat, lighting up the swamp with a powerful headlamp, the party passed up a seven-foot reptile, hoping for something bigger. Around midnight, the widely spaced ruby eyes of the nine-footer lit up, and Demmer decided to take her shot with a crossbow.
They were coaching me it was time to take it, Demmer said. After I saw where he was, I got a laser on him and picked an angle downward so the arrow couldnt deflect off the scutes referring to the bony plates that cover the animals body.
He went down and Lauresa was able to harpoon him.
Added Musgrove: He swam around and tired himself out a bit.
As the two women pulled their quarry up to the side of the airboat using the harpoon line, Swink rigged the bang-stick. When the gator was beside the boat, Musgrove held the harpoon line and Demmer shot it point-blank on the top of the head. Then they taped its jaws and heaved it on board.
You did excellent, ladies! said Billy Boatwright, who watched the hunt from another airboat.
You got the gator dead without him biting my boat, Swink added appreciatively.
But the women werent done yet. After transferring the gator to Boatwrights airboat, they continued combing the marsh for a second target. About 2 a.m., they found it an almost identical nine-footer that Demmer shot with her crossbow.
This one proved a bit harder to harpoon, swimming almost to a nearby canal before Musgrove nailed it. But she stopped it just in time, then bang-sticked the gator when it was close enough.
The hour was approaching 4 a.m. when the hunting party secured their bounty and headed to a friends nearby camp to get some sleep.
But first they contacted their taxidermist friend to advise him he would be very, very busy for the next couple of days.
