Hinokio (HK - DVD R3)
If the Japanese boxset is a tad too pricey, then the HK disc may be a better option
Starring: Kanata Hongo
Released: 23rd December 2005
Further Details:
HK label Asia Video will handle the December 23rd release of heart-warming Japanese sci-fi Hinokio. The film will be presented in an anamorphic widescreen format with Japanese audio in Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS-ES 6.1. Furthermore, optional English subtitles will be provided. Expect a reasonable SRP of HKD $79.
Fearful and unable to leave his house since his mother's untimely death, a heartbroken, emotionally devastated twelve year old named Satoru (Kanata Hongo) withdraws himself from all contact with the outside world. However, this situation changes slightly when a technological marvel is built for him, a state-of-the-art robot nicknamed Hinokio! With the help of his robot doppelganger, Satoru is able to take the first tentative steps to reconnecting with the world around him, sending Hinokio to grade school in his stead.
During this daring experiment, Satoru is able to befriend a tomboy named Jun (Tabe Mikano) with the help of his robotic stand-in. But even if he connects with Jun, is he still not alone, isolated in his bedroom? Soon enough, this relationship impels Satoru to attempt to experience the world in a more direct manner, but not by coming out of the house. Instead, he activates the robot's "sensations," a decision that puts young Takashi in mortal jeopardy.
Back home, there is also the strained relationship between father and son for Takashi to deal with. Satoru's dad, Kaoru (Masatoshi Nakamura) tries his best to reach out to his son, but Satoru still blames him for his mother's death. Thus, communication between the two is sparse at best. Yet through the vehicle of Hinokio, the two may finally have a chance at reconciliation. Will Satoru trade all his newfound virtual relationships for real ones or will he remain petrified with fear? Featuring appearances by Kobayashi Ryoko and Horikita Maki, Hinokio is a poignant film that asks the hard questions about what it really means to be alive.

Uphill battle: Running amok on the farm
Workout hits the hillsJO MCKENZIE-MCLEAN

Well & Good
Trainer Terry thought he'd be clever this week - sending me off to train while he got some work done on a bike park fundraiser.
Unfortunately, for him, I am easily distracted, especially in the countryside, and need constant supervision.
I turned up to Terry's farm at Lowburn expecting to walk across remote hilly farmland, but Terry, deciding he could multi-task, was building the bike ramps after directing me to run up a peak several hundred metres away, then return via a track until I got to a building.
This was going to give Terry probably 20 minutes to complete his work; however, it soon became evident I could not be left unsupervised.
Now, I'm a townie, so while trying to hopelessly avoid animal landmines, I darted here and there up the hill glancing suspiciously at the sheep, wondering why the fence was so high - ''Are there bulls around here?'' I yelled out to Terry. ''No, just go up the hill and don't cross the deer fence.''
Right, I huffed. I didn't quite understand how far up the hill he meant me to go, so when I got to a stream, not wanting to get my feet wet, I turned around and made my way down across to the track.
''Did you go all the way up?'' he yells, looking up from his work.
''Not quite,'' I squeaked and ran along the track.
Suddenly, a horse comes galloping towards me. I am terrified of horses. I picked up my pace and screamed out to Terry his horse was chasing me.
''Don't be silly, he's just impressed to see you running.''
I hoofed it to the building, which I took time to admire. Tucked out of sight was the Lowburn Curling Rink Club building. My solitude was abruptly disturbed with Terry running towards me asking why I had stopped, and what was I doing sightseeing.
We did a few lengths of the paddock and climbed up a hill while he talked about breaking my training into achievable ''chunks'', the first being a 5km walk/run around the countryside as part of a fundraiser he is helping organise for the Cromwell Bike Park. That sounds achievable to me.
As we walked and talked, I soon forgot about dodging poop and started to find the company of farm animals a nice distraction from the pain of exercise. So, I was quite delighted when Terry's pet sheep Weetbix and Furry ran up to us doing a prone hold to end the session.
Mum and reporter Jo McKenzie-McLean is taking on one of the biggest challenges of her life training for the Northburn Station 50km mountain run in March next year.

FMVs are pre-rendered videos used in place of real-time graphics. Using FMV was an attempt to make videogames look "more like movies", sometimes with CGI animation and others with live-action actors speaking directly to players. The downside is that FMV requires a lot of disk space, and live-action FMV in particular can look terrible by comparison.

I have a lovely silk sari that mum gave me. I want to make it into a dress for my teenager. She wants the skirt of the dress with grecian folds. I have no idea how you make some soft, gentle folds that are not pleats.
Would be great if someone could give me some tips, preferably with drawings.
Thank you very much.

Check out Vogue Pattern V2890. I do not know how to post a picture on the comments, so please visit voguepatterns.com to check it out. I've always loved that look and perhaps you can attempt to make it. Looks advanced, though.
Mar 9, 2011, 10.44 PMby japconst
Another thought came to mind – I was looking at the skirt part of the dress I made (check my ID picture) and I remember it had a lot of soft folds as in Vogue Pattern V2890. The skirt part is cut in a quarter to half circle – many pieces of the same joined together for that effect. When it drapes to the floor, it will give you that soft fold effect. Not sure if that's what your daughter is looking for.

Cash Store stock sinks as payday lender hires a strategic advisor
Shares of Cash Store Financial Services Inc. fell to their lowest level in more than 10 years on Friday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Shares of Cash Store Financial Services Inc. fell to their lowest level in more than 10 years on Friday, the day after the payday lender said it has embarked on a strategic review of its operations.
The company is currently prohibited from offering any payday loans – its primarily source of business – in Ontario through its Cash Store and Instaloans locations.
This week, the board of the Edmonton-based firm set up a special committee of independent directors to "carefully evaluate the strategic alternatives available to the company with a view to maximizing value for all its stakeholders," it said in a release.
In turn, the special committee has hired Rothschild, a firm that specializes in global finance, and mergers and acquisitions, to assist, Cash Store said in a release issued Thursday.
The company said it does not know how long the review will take, and will not comment further on the process.
Meanwhile, its stock fell by 4 cents to 46 cents per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday. The one analyst that follows the firm, EVA Dimensions, has a sell rating on the shares, which traded near $3.50 last May.
The company is currently worth about $8 million. Its largest shareholder, chief executive officer Gordon Reykdal, holds nearly 21 per cent of its outstanding shares.
Cash Store employs about 1,900 people and operates a total of 510 branches across the country, in every province except Quebec. About one-third of its locations are in Ontario.
On its website, the company lists its other offerings, including cheque cashing, prepaid phone and credit cards and money transfer services. It is still allowed to provide these services to the public.
Last week, Ontario's registrar of payday loans said it plans to refuse operating licences to Cash Store and Instaloans, in part because of past wrongdoing that includes charging customers more than the legal maximum of $21 for every $100 borrowed.
The Cash Store said it would appeal the decision and fight for its licence. In the meantime, the company is not permitted to offer any payday loan or line of credit products in Ontario.
The battle between the Ontario government and payday lender began last year when the province first suggested that it planned to revoke the Cash Store's licences.
The Cash Store promptly said it would switch to lines of credit. The company then opted not to renew its payday lender licence.
The province took Cash Store to court, arguing the lines of credit were payday loans in disguise. The Superior Court of Justice agreed in a decision also released last week. The Cash Store has 30 days to launch an appeal.

State reverses course, paves way for car-service startup Uber
Send this to a friend
- Galen Moore
- Web Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
You may never again see a state agency jump this quickly to the aid of a startup company. An ill-advised ban against a popular car-service startup, Uber, has been killed almost before it was put into place.
As an alternative to waiting for a taxi, Uber allows its users to summon a black livery car, and bills based on mileage measured by GPS. The Massachusetts Division of Standards, which regulates gas pumps, taxi meters and butcher shop scales, among other things, had sent Uber a cease and desist letter, saying smart phone GPS is not an approved device for measuring mileage.
A Boston Business Journal story on Friday (picking up on an original Washington Post report) generated dozens of angry comments directed at the state and the city of Cambridge, where questions about the metering technology started. By Tuesday, city of Boston officials were talking about meeting with Uber over the issue. By late Wednesday, it was all over. Here's the statement emailed by a Division of Standards spokeswoman:
"Massachusetts state law requires the Division of Standards to approve any commercial measuring devices. That means making sure a gallon of gas is really a gallon or a pound of produce is really a pound. We do not have the capability to test every type of device at the state level and so for more complex devices, such as the meters used in taxi cabs, we rely on national standard setting organizations to certify specific types of meters or devices.
"Recently, the Division of Standards informed Uber that the device they use to calculate fare and distance needs to be certified by a national standard setting organization and, until that process began, the device could not be used in Massachusetts. The Division has since learned that this device is already being evaluated for certification by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Because of this, the Division will issue an operating certificate to Uber. Therefore, Uber is currently not out of compliance with state law and free to continue operating.
"We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Massachusetts is a leader in innovation and we applaud Uber's innovative spirit and welcome their competition into the commercial passenger transportation market."

BBC's The Office to air on Adult Swim this summer
The network will air both seasons of the British comedy, produced by Ricky Gervais, plus the Christmas special. This is great news for U.S. comedy nerds dying to introduce the show to their friends (and don't feel like buying all three DVD box sets). Hopefully they'll air it in between Aqua Teen and Tim and Eric -- and not at 4 a.m.!
I love this show, and I love the NBC version. I won't even try to compare the two here, since the NBC version has evolved into such a completely different show. But there's one thing the NBC version is missing -- Ricky Gervais. I'm aware of Gervais' producing role on the show, but I've always wanted to see him make a cameo as David Brent -- the UK version of Michael Scott.
5 Questions With: Ricky Gervais
British comedian Ricky Gervais has conquered all media: from TV ('The Office', 'Extras') and movies ('Night at the Museum') to books, a blog, podcasts and, most recently, an HBO stand-up special, 'Out of England.'
The DVD for 'Out of England,' which aired on HBO last fall, hits stores on March 31, and captures the funny guy's first American stand-up tour, in which he managed to make un-PC jokes on such far-ranging topics as animals, fame, obesity, Nazis, gay sex and ... charity fundraising?
Next up, Gervais makes his movie directorial debut with the comedy 'This Side of the Truth' (fall 2009), co-starring Tina Fey, Christopher Guest and Jennifer Garner. But first, he talked to AOL TV about why his fave part of 'Out of England' is the gay sex, why his most beloved co-star is small and red ... and whether David Brent will ever road trip to Scranton.
The Office is going to Israel
Given the political climate in that area of the world, one has to wonder what their office will be like? Will it be shared by Jews and Arabs? Which religion will the central "boss" character be? Will that even come into play?
The Oscars will still involve Ricky Gervais
Tonight's jokes will be swipes at Hollywood and probably the entertainment industry in general. As one can tell from The Office and Extras (and even the BBC article itself), Gervais excels at self-deprecating humor. They will be nasty, but nasty in a funny and cute way that industry insiders and the audience will enjoy. He could even recycle jokes from Extras.
Also, tonight's jokes will be extremely funny if Jackman can deliver them in a Gervais-like style. Hopefully he'll practice them beforehand. I wonder if Stephen Merchant was involved with the joke-writing as well?
If this works out, perhaps he'll accept that offer to host the event next year? Fingers crossed.
Six reasons the Oscars will probably stink - VIDEO
As I perused the Academy Award nominations yesterday, I couldn't help but think that this year's broadcast is going to have a hard time drawing a huge TV audience. And considering that the only thing you can usually count on with the Oscars is that they'll run over three hours long, the show will probably leave something to be desired, too.
In fact, here's six reasons the Oscars -- which will be broadcast live on February 22 on ABC -- will probably stink.
Ugly Betty versus Flipping Out...in court!
Jeff, who specializes in buying properties then fixing them up and selling them -- flipping -- has a house under construction right next door to the home of Ashley and hubby Terence Beesley. If you've watched even one episode of Flipping Out, you know that Jeff has OCD and is extremely difficult to work for -- he fires workers at least twice a season -- and presses buttons like nobody's business.
This tussle falls under the pressing buttons category. Lewis had a deck built onto the house he was re-constructing, the one right next door to Ashley's, and went over the property line. Now, in Yonkers that would be a reason to get upset; in Hollywood, it's a good enough reason to go to war.
Ricky Gervais Interview for 'Extras'
Ricky Gervais doesn't really hate handicapped people. He just plays a guy who hates them on stage.
The funnyman best known as creator and star of the original British 'The Office' and the HBO hit series 'Extras' returns to HBO this fall with his latest comedy act, 'The Out of England Tour' (premiering in November). The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning star is also up for three Emmys, including Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie, for his 'Extras: Extra-Special Series Finale.'
Gervais talked to AOL TV about his upcoming projects, being in awe of Daniel Day-Lewis and why Steve Carell should watch his back -- literally.
15 Things We Learned at TV Press Tour
Twice a year, TV critics from across the country gather in Los Angeles for the Television Critics' Association press tour.
For two weeks the press gets the chance to chat with the actors and writers from every network and cable channel -- and showered with useless freebies (an oven mitt promoting 'Coolio's Rules'!) -- all to better understand the season's new shows.
Here are the best boob tube tidbits we gathered at the latest TCAs.

Okay, you've got whale pirates, mummies, bikinis, Ricky Gervais, vampires, and Marines. Unfortunately, none of those shows combine all six of those things / people. After the jump, find out about these new shows and the people who make them...
Saturday Night Live: Steve Carell/Usher (season finale) - VIDEOS
(S33E12) To ensure a strong season finale, Saturday Night Live made a very smart choice to go with Steve Carell. He is an incredible comedic performer and his first hosting stint went pretty well, so I wasn't surprised to see him pull it off again this time around. Actually, this picture is from the first time Carell hosted. Is it weird that I've had it sitting on my desktop since then? Yes, probably. Anyway, the material was better than some of the other episodes', with a few spectacular highlights, including the hilarious digital short.
The Golden Globes: Best Actor - Musical or Comedy
This feels weird. Normally, there is a good bit of excitement around the nominees of the Golden Globes, particularly since it's the first big award ceremony of the year and a precursor to the Academy and Emmy awards. However, with the WGA strike in full swing, and the awards ceremony stripped down to a simple one-hour press conference televised by NBC, it all seems a bit anti-climatic.
But, taking a page from my heroes Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, I shall press on in true television reporting style and present my prediction for winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actor - Musical or Comedy.
Gervais working on an Extras spinoff?
Williamson confirmed to a British radio station that he is in talks with Gervais about the spin-off. "We talked half-jokingly about a show with the pair in a camper van, solving crimes," he told the station.
Extras: The Complete Second Season - DVD review
From everything I heard and read, the second season of the Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant comedy was better than the first season. Of course, given the high standards set by Gervais and Merchant, that was saying a lot. After watching Season Two, I have to say that I agree with those assessments, but not for the reason that you think.
The Office's free love freeway lives on - VIDEO
Well, good news for anyone else who is still in need of some Office love. July 1st's Concert for Diana in London will feature a multitude of stars to celebrate Princess Diana's life. Among those stars will be Office stars Ricky Gervais and Mackenzie Crook, performing "Free Love Freeway" before introducing Sir Elton John.
Ricky Gervais goes to Africa, or does he? - VIDEO
Not everyone is naturally funny, but some forms of humor are easier than others. I think that's why I'm always so impressed with Ricky Gervais, because the man can create some truly vicious satire with the skill of a true artisan.
I invite you to check out a video Gervais made for Comic Relief that also features Stephen Merchant, Bob Geldof, and a special surprise guest in the end. Watch as Gervais and his gang do everything they can to get more time in the limelight without much regard to the cause they're supposedly trying to support. The whole video runs a little over eight minutes, but trust me, it's worth sitting through. This is far and away funnier than anything I've ever seen Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg perform. I don't mean "perform on Comic Relief" I mean "performed anywhere, ever."
See the video after the jump.
UPDATE: In the comments, reader RazorD provides some background on Jamie Oliver, the man who appears in the video eating fast food. Thanks for the insight, RD. You're right, it makes the video that much funnier.

The Dalton Police Department on Monday arrested Brent Price Pickard, 45, of 1426 Williams Street in Chattanooga on a charge of simple assault. The charge stems from last week's incident at the Eligère Carpet and Rugs facility on Hamilton Street that led to a four-hour standoff with police as Pickard barricaded himself inside of his office.
Investigators determined that before the standoff on Tuesday, April 22, Pickard was involved in an argument with a woman outside of the building. During that argument he used a rifle to intimidate her, putting it on the back of his truck but apparently not aiming it at her. He also threw a cup of tea at her during the course of the argument. Pickard, who was intoxicated, then went inside of the building leaving the rifle in his truck. The woman ran into a neighboring business and told a man that Pickard had gone into the Eligère building with a gun. That man called 911 and reported the incident to police who formed a perimeter around the building and determined that all employees other than Pickard were safely outside.
After a four-hour period of negotiations with Dalton investigators, Pickard eventually agreed to leave the facility and go to Hamilton Medical Center for evaluation.
On Monday, Pickard was booked into the Whitfield County jail on a simple assault charge for intimidating the woman with the rifle and throwing an object at her during the argument, both of which put her in fear for her life.
