Tokyo Feature
What's Where
Tokyo commands a prominent position in the Kanto region on the southern coast of Honshu, Japan's largest island. Some 13 million people live in the capital (nearly 35 million, if you count all of Greater Tokyo), and, as in most big cities, Tokyo is a patchwork of colorful neighborhoods, each with its own texture. A few of the most important neighborhoods for visitors are profiled here.
1 Imperial Palace District. This is the center of Tokyo, where Edo Castle once stood. The imperial residence is open only two days a year, but you still can explore the palace grounds and gardens.
2 Akihabara and Jimbo-cho. Akihabara is famed for its electronics stores, manga shops, and cultish maid cafés. In neighboring Jimbo-cho, family-run bookstores abound.
3 Ueno and Yanaka. Ueno Park is home to three superb national museums, a university of fine arts, and a zoo. A stone's throw south is the lively Ameyoko street market. Adjoining Yanaka is a charming old neighborhood with an abundance of temples.
4 Asakusa. The sacred merges with the secular and ancient tradition with modernity in Asakusa. The area is home to Tokyo's oldest temple, Senso-ji, and the Asakusa Jinja shrine, while Tokyo Skytree, a soaring skyscraper, looms large just to the east.
5 Tsukiji and Shiodome. Tsukiji is home to what is purportedly the world's largest fish market. Its neighbor, Shiodome, is a massive development zone, with plenty of fashionable shops, hotels, and restaurants.
6 Nihombashi, Ginza, and Marunouchi. Nihombashi lays claim to the geographical and financial center of Tokyo. Follow the money slightly south to Ginza, where you'll find Tokyo's traditional high-end stores and equally expensive restaurants. Marunouchi is home to plush retail and office complexes.
7 Aoyama, Harajuku, and Shibuya. Aoyama and Harajuku are chic neighborhoods saturated with designer stores, independent boutiques, and malls. To the south is Shibuya, an urban teen's dream packed with people, hip shops, and megachains.
8 Roppongi. Roppongi has a rich and sometimes sordid history of catering to foreign nightlife; here you'll find the massive Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown developments.
9 Shinjuku. The train station here, adjacent to the towering Takashimaya Times Square mall, is supposedly the busiest in the world. And when the sun sets, the bars and clubs in the red-light area of Kabuki-cho come to life.
10 Odaiba. An artificial island in Tokyo Bay, Odaiba is an isolated hub for shops, restaurants, family-oriented amusements, parks, and office complexes.11 Side Trips from Tokyo. There are numerous day-trip options if you're based in Tokyo. Southwest of Tokyo, Yokohama's Chinatown has more than 150 restaurants that serve every major regional Chinese cuisine. Continuing southwest, Hase is home to the 37-foot Daibutsu—the Great Buddha, and Kamakura, the 13th-century capital of Japan, is home to numerous temples and shrines. West of there, the national park and resort area of Hakone puts you close to majestic Mt. Fuji. To the north of Tokyo, far removed from the urban bustle lie Nikko and the decadent designs of the Tosho-gu shrine complex. At a nearby national park, Chuzenji-ko (Lake Chuzenji) and waterfalls like Kegon-no-taki nourish the spirit in a far less extravagant way.

It has been a well know fact for years that water is good for you. Above all else it keeps your body from dehydrating. Drinking water is also said to help us prevent kidney damage, lose weight and increase concentration levels.
Drinking Water
The NHS – along with leading doctors and nutritionists – advises the public to drink about 1.2 litres (or two-and-a-half pints) of water per day. If you were to drink a lot more that than the recommended guideline there is no warning as to how many bathroom breaks you might be undertaking.
10 Benefits of Drinking Water
- Lose weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger, it's an effective appetite suppressant so you'll eat less. Plus, water has zero calories.
- Natural Remedy for Headache: Helps to relieve headache and back pains due to dehydration. Although many reasons contribute to headache, dehydration is the common one.
- Look Younger with Healthier Skin:You'll look younger when your skin is properly hydrated. Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.
- Better Productivity at Work: Your brain is mostly made up of water, thus drinking water helps you think better, be more alert and more concentrated.
- Better Exercise: Drinking water regulates your body temperature. That means you'll feel more energetic when doing exercises. Water also helps to fuel your muscle.
- Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water goes hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.
- Less Cramps and Sprains: Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, so you'll less likely get cramps and sprains.
- Less Likely to Get Sick and Feel Healthy: Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu and other ailments like kidney stones and heart attack. Water adds with lemon is used for ailments like respiratory disease, intestinal problems, rheumatism and arthritis etc. In another words one of the benefits of drinking water is that it can improve your immune system.
- Relieves Fatigue: Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart, for instance, needs to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells, so are the rest of the vital organs, your organs will be exhausted and so will you.
- Good Mood: If your body feels good in turn you feel much more happier.

Did you know "robot" is actually borne from the Czech word for "compulsory labor"?
Words are very cool things. Not only do they teach with their meanings and their sounds, they teach with their origins.
If you've ever looked at multiculturalism or immigration in your classroom, try an exercise that can incorporate geography, literacy, and technology in one easy swoop. Aside from the definition, pronunciation, and spelling, Merriam-Webster's online dictionary also supplies word origins and direct links to corresponding articles on the topic at Britannica Online. Try this: choose a word that students hear often, and look it up with them on m-w.com. Show them all the great information they can get about the word — including its origins.
See if they can find the country of origin on a map. Better yet, if you have a good old-fashioned wall-map, write the word on a an index card, a post-it note, a scrap of paper, what-have-you, and pin it there.
Have students brainstorm a list of English words they encounter every day. Maybe you can split them into teams and color-code the cards or papers they write the words on. Maybe you can have them compete to see who can find the most words from the most varied places. It depends on your students' dynamics and map skills. However you do it, it's going to give them a little worldly perspective and make them look twice at their vocabulary. Hey, maybe you'll get them hooked on online dictionaries.
This is something you can do at just about any age. If they know what a map is, and they know what a country is, and they can think up a word, then they can have fun with this activity — and no matter how old, they're bound to find something they didn't know before.

Reassessing Security at NYC's Proposed Freedom Tower
Develolper and authorities work to create inpenetrable security at forthcoming landmark
''Either we live normal lives with normal streets and normal sidewalks, or we go back to living in fortresses as they did in the Middle Ages,'' he said in an interview.
Many prominent buildings are quite close to streets. These include Grand Central Terminal and the Empire State Building and structures under construction like the Bank of America Tower at 1 Bryant Park and the future glass-clad headquarters of The New York Times across Eighth Avenue from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. This transportation hub has for months been undergoing a security upgrade. Bare steel support columns in upstairs parking areas have been encased in reinforced concrete to enhance their fire and blast resistance.
Several experts question the location of the Freedom Tower near a state highway, three through streets and the headquarters of at least two high-profile companies, American Express and Verizon.
''The best thing from a security standpoint would be to move the Freedom Tower to Church Street,'' said Guy J. Nordenson, a structural engineer and a professor of architecture at Princeton University who is currently involved in several projects at the trade center site. ''You could control truck traffic access better on Church Street than on West Street, and you would be able to achieve setbacks more easily on that site.''
Trucks are not the only threat. ''Large passenger vehicles like S.U.V.'s are able to carry more explosives unobtrusively and are a major hazard,'' Dr. Hinman said. She said the current estimate of how much a big S.U.V. can carry is the equivalent of the charge used in the Oklahoma City bombing.
To make underground parking safe, all vehicles entering the subterranean roadways would be subject to inspection at the entrances off Liberty and Vesey Streets, said Stefan Pryor, president of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.
Security experts underscore that terrorists' intentions cannot be predicted, and they recommend the installation of specially designed air intakes and ventilation systems in buildings at the site to counter radiological, chemical and biological threats.
Also undergoing scrutiny is the $2 billion PATH station and transportation hub by the architect Santiago Calatrava, which poses many engineering challenges, including the routing of the PATH tracks directly under the Freedom Tower site, meaning that the tower's supporting columns must be threaded among the rails.
Mr. Calatrava said in an interview that he could deliver ''a beautiful building that accomplishes all the needs of security,'' adding that ''95 percent of people in the station will be in lower levels,'' and therefore more shielded from the possibility of explosion.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have always been worried that they would have a draft pick stripped away from them by the league for Mike Tomlin's obstruction of Baltimore Ravens kick-off returner Jacoby Jones on Thanksgiving. While the Steelers lost that rivalry game despite that play, the league was livid at Tomlin and the Steelers for what happened and, as expected, handed Tomlin a six-figure fine. The talk of a loss of a draft pick was temporarily put on hold, and it was later reported that the Steelers would only lose a draft pick in the unlikely event of the Ravens being eliminated from the playoffs due to a tie-breaker in points. The league believes that Tomlin caused the Ravens to lose four points (they kicked a field goal on the ensuing drive), so they would reportedly lose a draft pick if those four points caused the Ravens to miss the playoffs. Now if the Ravens made the playoffs or missed the playoffs due to their record, no punishment would happen.
Under that set of stipulations, it seemed like the Steelers dodged a bullet and would be very unlikely to be punished, since that kind of a scenario would be unlikely to happen.
However, it sounds like that might have been too good to be true for the Steelers, as league sources tell CBS Sports's Jason La Canfora that the Steelers will actually lose a late-round draft pick for the incident. Per La Canfora, the league is going to take away a draft pick from the Steelers even if the Ravens make the playoffs, and the Steelers are moving forward under the assumption that they will lose a pick. It remains to be seen if the league will go through with this rather Draconian punishment (punish Tomlin not the whole team, for crying out loud), but it sounds like the Steelers will most likely lose a pick.
Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the league will most likely "downgrade" the Steelers draft pick, as opposed to taking a pick away entirely.

BARRY DILLER FOUND IT PATHETIC. RON Meyer considered it foolish. And David Geffen loved it in the way a lion king relishes the kill. The blurry faxed and re-faxed feature article whirred its way around Hollywood last weekend (one mogul even enlisted his wife to send it hither and yon). Officially, the August issue of Vanity Fair doesn't hit newsstands until next week, but the moguls wanted an early copy before heading for the July Fourth long weekend in Hawaii, followed by the July 9–13 Camp Allen investment conference in Sun Valley. Still, the timing was disconcerting as Gay Pride Month drew to a close. That's because, no bromide this, Bryan Burrough's apocalyptic interview with Michael Ovitz consisted of page after page of the one-time most powerful man in Hollywood blaming a "Gay Mafia" for his professional demise and obvious personal dementia. What astonished was not that Ovitz was saying such appalling stuff, rather that Graydon Carter's magazine didn't bother to challenge any of it.
Welcome to journalist-as-microphone substituting for journalist-as-skeptic, the print media's even more embarrassing equivalent of Lisa Myers' sit-down with Kenneth Lay's wife — just as bizarre and, in the end,just as unbearable. Inconceivable especially at a time when all business executives, Hollywood or otherwise, can expect to face heated grilling by journalists, Barbarians at the Gate author Burrough abandoned his reputation for hard-hitting reporting and instead became, in Ovitz's presence, just another Southern gentleman whose courtliness demanded he sit and listen quietly to an eccentric uncle raving about them thar faggots and their friends who are controlling American culture just as the Trilateral Commission controls world commerce.
If Ovitz had ranted about the Jewish Mafia, Vanity Fair would never have floated his allegations without weighting them down with at least a little context for ballast. But since it's the Gay Mafia, the article just lets Ovitz hang himself (giggle, giggle). What's next? WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers fingering phone-fetish fiends? The point is not supposed to be just The Get, but The Get It Right.
In response to the L.A.Weekly's query, Vanity Fair spokeswoman Beth Kseniak released this statement: "The primary value of the article was in getting Michael Ovitz's viewpoint. If his views clash with those of others, that's hardly surprising. Various principals of the story were contacted. Several declined to respond to Ovitz's comments. The story was thoroughly fact checked." Actually, the article contains more than 22 non–Gay Mafia factual assertions coming from Ovitz's mouth that, if investigated, could have been exposed as false.
For instance, the average Hollywood insider knows full well that David Geffen has not always hated Ovitz, but that the Geffen-Ovitz schism dates back to 1982, when Ovitz represented screenwriter Robert Towne, and Geffen and Towne were battling over the movies Personal Best and Greystoke. Or that Michael Eisner didn't abandon Ovitz at Disney first day out but, because of that peculiar mogul-bred trait of absolute certainty bordering somewhere between obsessiveness and megalomania, the Disney chairman/CEO demonstrated stubborn optimism about Ovitz's prospects as president longer than any semisane person would have. Or that Ron Meyer didn't turn on Ovitz because of Geffen's persistent prodding; it occurred when new MCA owner Edgar Bronfman Jr. walked away from Ovitz's outrageous CEO compensation demands and ran toward Meyer, only to have Ovitz leak the news to the press to try to queer the deal, thus earning his CAA partner and best friend's eternal enmity. Or that Livent didn't represent some piddling investment for Ovitz, because he was not only a board member of a publicly owned corporation but also the chairman of its executive committee and thus responsible to shareholders. Or that Ovitz didn't just meet the Yorns on his own but was introduced to them by none other than New York financial manager–turned–convicted jailbird Dana Giachetto.
According to sources who talked with Burrough, there also were accusations from Ovitz that VF deemed too offensive to run, targeting any tough journalist as being either in the pay of or in bed with (literally)Hollywood's powers that be. But those were heterosexual sex charges. Somehow it was okay to print Ovitz's repeated claims of how Geffen had spread rumors about Ovitz's family and "went after" Ovitz's kids, and, get this one from Ovitz, if Geffen's cabal "could have taken my wife and kids, they would have." It's not inconceivable to see an alarming subtext that homosexuals are predators or, worse, pederasts or priests (Ovitz does draw that direct connection, saying Geffen "is totally immoral, and he paints himself like this priest"). For that matter, the Gay Mafia can't be blamed for Ovitz's many other much-ballyhooed failures, from losing what he promised was an in-the-bag NFL franchise for Los Angeles, to falling behind on that $25 million pledge made back in 1997 to UCLA Medical Center, to failing a Canal Plus audit of his APG production company, which proved the death knell for his entertainment career.

Hi JeffI appreciate your initial response.I have really reached my wits end with this, so I am keeping it short. (re-read this, so it's not THAT short, but I gave it my best shot).No idea why the tech stated the line was fine after his tests - nothing indicated that. He was here for quite a while, and of the tests conducted, 1 or 2 neared 65% of the stated capability of the plan. That's no reason to declare the 95% of the other tests that came in at less than half speed invalid.In fact, he left me with a spare modem to continue testing because he couldn't resolve this. I find it odd that he didn't actually test the line quality, the roadside, or anything like that.So I dispute the quality of the independent speed tests.As I thought I had clearly stated in my e-mail, the results are NOT intermittent but consistent. As evidenced by my extensive testing over a long period, at different times, on different computers, etc. I have been through this process, so I know what to test before you ask it.I would like to clearly state - again - the speeds to not vary day to day, or over periods within a day. They are CONSISTENTLY slow. And not by a little. See the attached for tests conducted over the last 24 hours. 10% of the rated speed. If I am lucky.I have had no luck contacting your live chat. I never seem to get connected to a person, and as stated previously, calling in generally results in me being on hold for extended periods. In fact, I encourage Shaw to phone me. My number is on your records.I look forward to a reasonable response to my requests, such as a temporary uplift in the plan to see if this is a line issue, or is in fact a congestion / shaping issue - which by all the research I have done seems to be highly likely.I am also now documenting this issue publicly in the dslforums discussion boards at the following URL: »[AB] Shaw Xtreme 25, getting 1-2Mb if I am luckyThis is both to indicate that this is no longer acceptable and the general public should know about it, but to also garner additional input and advice from people who would like to help.Regards-------------Hello ,Thank you for your further correspondence on this issue. We are sorry that you are still experiencing slower than expected speeds for your plan. The technician who completed the service call in December conducted speed tests and found acceptable speeds at this time. Unfortunately if we are running independent speed tests on your modem and getting acceptable results there is not much more we can do, as in order to address a problem this needs to be verified by a technician.If you feel that this may be an intermittent problem and that the performance of the internet is acceptable at certain times of day (including the time of day that the technician performed the last speed tests in December) we will need more information on what time of day you are experiencing these slowdowns so that we can look into this further.Please let us know if your speeds seem to vary over the day when you run tests, and if you notice slower speeds during certain parts of the day such as evenings, or if your speeds are consistently slow. You can reply to this information so that we can determine whether a second service call is necessary.Live chat support is also available at www.shaw.ca/chat from 7AM to 10PM PST 7 days a week or you can call us any time at 310-SHAW (7429).Thank you!Jeff - Rep 4503eCare TeamLet us know how we're doing.

I would like this case re-opened, and escalated appropriately.My internet speed has been less than half the rated package now almost since this incident was opened. I have been constantly testing, to the point of even changing my router to see if that made any difference. I find this completely unsatisfactory, and the lack of resolution is now soon going to be a show stopper. My upload speeds are now greater than my download speeds which is ridiculous. I have provided two recent tests for your review - both are attached.And yes, I have gone through ALL the tests that you usually require and have requested below - AGAIN. So please don't ask me to do the usual like plug directly into the modem, try from another computer, try at different hours etc. I have done ALL of these and none have made any difference. I have repeatedly tried to phone support and speak to someone directly, but am on hold for so long I just hang up.I originally signed up for this internet package as it was discounted and seemed like good value. I am extremely disappointed with what I have received, and if this is not resolved, will seriously consider other providers for my entire home media package, including cable, telephony and internet.I would like the following to happen immediately, and be confirmed by Shaw customer support.1. A technician is scheduled to come and do testing onsite.2. I would like a refund on my connection fees since the start of this incident reflective of the performance of what I should be getting. Being generous this is 50%, but should be closer to 70%.3. An upgrade to a higher speed package to see if this makes any significant difference to my performance. This will at least indicate if the line is even capable of performing as you state it is.I look forward to hearing from you.Regards-----Original Message-----From: Shaw Business - Help [mailto:email@example.com]Sent: December-17-11 07:22 PMTo:Subject: RE: Shaw Support [Case ID 4503-15795737]Good evening .

How come ISPs like Shaw tend to employee complete idiots for Technical support? the real support seems to happen by people like you here on the forums

Because the customer is unwilling to pay the money required to keep those types of people on the front lines.
Would have to agree with both of you. Most companies front line staff don't stick around long enough to become really good at their jobs, and the ones that do end up getting promoted.The slight upside to Shaw is that all their call centres are in Canada, not outsourced to another country.
PM sent (after feeling very stupid and not finding the PM functions for like 10 mins coz I wasn't logged into the forums...).Thanks for stepping in and being willing to take a look. Still haven't heard from support since my e-mail.

This tutorial will guide you through the basics of the Composer GUI, the official visual editor tool which allows you to quickly and easily create scenes and levels in Corona SDK. The Composer GUI also integrates seamlessly with the Composer API scene management library.
In this tutorial, we'll create a simple Angry Birds™ clone, Aliens vs. Mutant Mice, in less than 15 minutes.
At this time, Composer is only available for Mac OS X builds of the Corona Simulator.
Download the Aliens vs. Mutant Mice sample app from GitHub. Unzip and place the files in a convenient working directory.
Download the most recent Corona SDK daily build and, if you're not familiar with the process, follow the Installing Corona SDK guide.
Open the Corona Simulator
Let's inspect the files that you downloaded in the Aliens vs. Mutant Mice sample app. In the Finder, navigate to the folder where you copied these files. You'll notice some core files which are common to all Corona projects, including
config.lua, and the default app icons.
There are also some scene files. Scene files consist of a
.ccscene file and a corresponding
.lua file with the same name. These
.ccscene files are
.lua file is the scene template which connects to its
.ccscene file.
Initially, there is one scene named
scene1.lua. If you want to add more scenes, follow the outlined structure and name the
.lua file the same as the
.ccscene file. Please do not change the name of any core existing files at this time.
Composer will recognize image assets that you place within the project folder and/or subfolders within it. Simply copy these assets over and they should appear within the Asset Library when you restart Composer.
Once you're comfortable with the basic project structure, proceed through the following steps:
Open the
main.lua file in your preferred text/code editor.
Copy and paste the following code on the line after
local composer = require "composer". This code enables and starts the physics engine which is required for the sample app game mechanics.
lua local physics = require "physics" physics.start()
Save and close this
main.lua file.
Now open
scene1.lua in the text/code editor. This file is structured around a typical Composer scene. If you're not familiar with scenes and scene templates, please refer to the Composer API guide.
Close or minimize this
scene1.lua file, but remember where it is since we'll be adding some additional code shortly.
Now let's open the sample project. From the Corona Simulator Welcome Window, click Open, or alternatively select
Next, we'll open the project for editing within the Composer GUI scene editor. If it's not already open, select Window → Corona Composer or press
scene1.ccscene file. This scene should mimic what you see in the Simulator.
With the Composer GUI open, let's start building the game!
The existing scene objects consist of a red rectangle and a text object. You can select an object by either clicking its name in the Timeline Inspector below the main scene window or by clicking on the actual object within the scene window.
Delete each object by selecting it, pressing delete/backspace, and confirming the action.
The demo project will have the background all ready added to the canvas.
Click on the 'Asset Library' and drag the road image to the canvas. Locate this asset in Asset Library, drag it onto the canvas, and position it near the bottom.
Now, add physics to the road object so that it acts as a stationary ground.
— In the upper-right corner, select the Object Inspector tab.
— Expand the Physics sub-menu by clicking on it.
— Select the road object in the scene.
— Check the Physics Enabled checkbox.
— Click on Body Type and choose Static from the popup dialog.
— For more natural-looking behavior, click on Edit Physics Body and pull both upper handles down to the road's horizontal middle.
Now, build a hideout for the mutant mice by using beams and other structural assets from the Asset Library. As before, simply drag them onto the scene canvas, then enable physics for each object. For these objects, keep the default dynamic body type so that they will respond to physical forces and collide with other physical objects. Optionally, adjust the Density of these objects to make some more heavy (stone) or less heavy (wood). These values can be adjusted later to
Save the project (Command-S). If you've set the Corona Simulator to relaunch the project every time the code is modified, you'll notice that the Simulator view automatically refreshes when you save your scene from the editor.
Notice: You won't see the structure if you have built it to the far right of the background image because this is off the screen for now. We will be adding a camera perspective library to to pan the view so don't worry too much.
Before finishing the hideout, let's add a way to knock it down. Enter the aliens!
Drag a flying saucer from the Asset Library to the canvas. Place it near the bottom-left and slightly above the road so it looks like it's floating. You don't need to enable physics for this object.
In the upper-left corner of the Composer GUI window, with the saucer selected, locate the Name field. Click this field and replace the default name with
ufo. This is an important step, since you'll eventually need to reference its name to add interactivity.
Save the project (Command-S). Again, if you've set the Corona Simulator to relaunch the project every time the code is modified, you'll notice that the Simulator view automatically refreshes when you save your scene from the editor.
Now for some action! Assuming that you correctly named the saucer (
ufo), add the following code to the
scene1.lua file, within the
scene:show() function under phase
did. If you're not familiar with the Composer API scene management library, please consult the guide for a clearer understanding of scenes, scene events, and phases.
-- Build Camera
local perspective = require("perspective") -- Code Exchange library to manage camera view
local camera = perspective.createView(3)
local target = display.newImage( "640x1136/target.png" )

Runtime:addEventListener( "enterFrame", startRotation )
local showTarget = transition.to( target, { alpha=0.4, xScale=0.4, yScale=0.4, time=200 } )
myLine = nil

t.isFocus = false
local stopRotation = function()
Runtime:removeEventListener( "enterFrame", startRotation )
local hideTarget = transition.to( target, { alpha=0, xScale=1.0, yScale=1.0, time=200, onComplete=stopRotation } )
if ( myLine ) then
myLine.parent:remove( myLine )
local plasma = display.newImage( "640x1136/AlienHead.png" )
plasma.width = 80
plasma.height = 80
plasma.x = t.x
plasma.y = t.y
physics.addBody( plasma, { density=3, friction=1.0, bounce=.2, radius=40 } )
plasma:applyForce( 70*(t.x - event.x), 70*(t.y - event.y), t.x, t.y )
camera:add(plasma, 1)
camera.damping = 10 -- A bit more fluid tracking
-- Only start the camera tracking when the penguin has moved pasted the center of the view port
local function trackPlasma( event )
if plasma.x > 600 then
camera:setFocus(plasma) -- Set the focus to the penguin so it tracks it
Runtime:addEventListener( 'enterFrame', trackPlasma )
return true -- Stop further propagation of touch event
local background = self:getObjectByTag( "background" )
local gameGroup = self:getObjectByTag( "gameGroup" )
local ufo = self:getObjectByTag( "ufo" )
ufo:addEventListener( "touch", shootPlasma )
-- Camera code
camera:add( background, 2 )
camera:add( gameGroup, 1 )
camera:setBounds( 0, 1480, 320, 320 ) -- used to keep our view from going outside the background
-- print (camera:layerCount())
Save the
scene1.lua file and relaunch the Corona Simulator. The additional code has added interactivity to the project — now, when you pull back on the ufo, the alien head plasma ball will launch across the screen!
As you can imagine, this project could be enhanced in numerous ways. You could add more saucers, more levels, animation, sound, and much more. With the Composer GUI for visual layout and configuration, paired with the thousands of APIs built into Corona SDK, the sky is the limit!

OC-Where should I eat this weekend?
I feel like going out to eat this weekend. Nothing too fancy, it's not a special occasion. I was thinking of trying Blue Coral, but I usually try to avoid new restaurants until they sort everything out, and I do not even know how much it costs. Maybe Roy's in Newport, Anjin in Costa Mesa, Wildfish in Newport? Newport Seafood in Santa Ana, but I think that would not be too good for only two people. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I live in South OC, so nothing much farther north than Santa Ana
I would skip landmark. I've only heard lukewarm comments. Banderas is a great option and I had the pleasure of eating my friends left over ribs from their last week which were melt in your mouth tender.
There have been some good reviews on Wildfish though I havent been.
What about Zovs in Tustin? Not too fancy but still a nice meal in an upscale setting. Right off the 55 on 17th street.
Avoid Landmark... Bungalow & Banderas are good. Gulfstream has excellent crab cakes (on Sat night), but I'm never that excited or impressed by the rest of the menu. I like Wildfish, but it is very loud & party central - which can be a good thing, depending on your mood. I still think the original Sage is the best place for fish in Newport. Bluefin is excellent in Crystal Cove. Certainly 230 Forest is great, but wait for the Pageant crowd to leave - ie. eat around 8ish. Cafe Zoolu for fantastic swordfish in Laguna. Zov's is excellent, but further than Santa Ana.
Agorra Churrscaria for Brazilian meat in Irvine.
Or Yardhouse. It's a restaurant chain, but the food is very good for a chain.
Agree with everybody on Landmark; horrible. Bungalow is good for steaks. Also, Oysters in Corona del Mar is good for seafood. For sushi/sashimi, I'd definetly go to Bluefin by Abe in the Crystal Cove Promenade. Nesai in Newport Beach is a small place with excellent food; we love their pork tenderloin and boneless short ribs.
Wow I'm lucky to have a memorable dining experience at Landmark. Sorry you guys didn't.
Bayside has great food, but service is spotty/inconsistent.
For Mex consider Taleo in Irvine (limited choices but good mole, cool digs, somewhat tame but tasty chow) & Taco Rosa in NB (nice seafood, open air casual atmosphere, friendly service, interesting takes on trad Mex)
Not my usual part of town but last year I had Persian at Darya in a shopping area that is adjacent to South Coast Plaza. I was surprised to find it right up with the best we have in the Persian area of West L.A. (i.e., Javan). Decor is fancy but the prices were reasonable and the service was excellent, especially considering I was a five-o-clock-shadowed single male waiting out the traffic after a conference. Ample portions of chicken, lamb, or beef with the best rice in the world, if you go for a kebab.
re: Lee by the Sea
In the Iranian community, Darya is regarded very highly (for good reason)
re: mrsjoujou
I must agree
re: mrsjoujou
We like Ferdussi up the block at Macarthur & Bristol for friendly & tasty Persian at reasonable prices. Stick to the buffet at lunch or lamb dishes otherwise.
For the best value Persian chow and most bizzaro experience try takeout from Wholesome Foods at Culver & Michaelson to consume on their outdoor patio. And line up for freshly baked Sangak hot from the oven in the organic bakery section. Pure heaven and exotic to boot. Even if Persian is not your thing then go for the most decadent gyros ever or else decent Indian chow. You won't be sorry.
This post inspired me to have a dinner date at Bandera saturday night. We arrived at 9pm and was seated at 10pm. It was quite alright because we killed time drinking refreshing mojitos at the bar.
The food did not disappoint. We ordered ahi appetizer (real fresh!) with generous bits of mango and guacamole. The beef ribs was very tasty and the meat fell off the bone. Service was excellent and the wait was worth it. After my 2 jack and cokes and red wine for my date, our bill was $112. ouch.
They have limited choices in the menu, but after trying almost everything in the past visits, I'd say quality of food is consistent and i'd take quality over quantity any day.
re: ml22
Glad to hear that you had a good meal there, and that the place seems to be consistently good.
Personally I like the fact that the menu at both Bandera and Houston is limited, I like the idea of a place doing only a relatively few items, but doing them well ! Kind of like In'n Out
Also I really like the wine lists at Bandera and Houston, I love that they tend to again limit them, and have interesting and eclectic choices at a reasonable mark-up.

Post Megaupload Shutdown, the Recording Industry Attempts to Reacquire Its SwagSTR/AFP/Getty Images
Most of the chatter surrounding the Megaupload shutdown has circled, sensibly, around the more fantastic elements of the story: Swizz Beatz's maybe-okay-not-really-wait-maybe? involvement in the file-sharing site; the cinematic details of the FBI's raid on the Megaupload crew's sweet New Zealand mansion; the larger-than-life hilarity of Megaupload's 6-foot-6 hero-outlaw chief, Kim Dotcom. Now, though, the Recording Industry Association of America would like to change the topic. Joshua P. Friedlander, RIAA's Vice President of Strategic Data Analysis (what, the President of Strategic Data Analysis had more important things to do?) has something to say. Here he is, in a blog post from yesterday titled "Why Closing Megaupload Matters":
"Fortunately, shutdowns of these types of hubs for illegal activity are not unprecedented. In October of 2010, Limewire (the most popular P2P service at the time) was shut down, and just like this week, millions of users were forced to find new sources for their content … Digital music sales that had been flagging jumped in the month immediately after the Limewire shutdown, and have remained stronger ever since … When Billboard looked at the data after the Limewire shutdown it said 'The spike in sales was immediate, noticeable and lasting.' Collectively, this evidence strongly suggests that the shutdown of illegal sites helps create a thriving and diverse digital marketplace. It encourages users to go to legitimate sites, and enables great new services to be launched — like Spotify, which launched in the US last year and quickly signed up millions of new users."
Most importantly: "Merely days later, we've seen other popular file sharing lockers like Filesonic and Fileserve curtail their own services, likely fearing similar charges as they functioned similar to Megaupload."
Most of us freeloading consumers saw the shutdown of Megaupload as a temporary hindrance, another last ditch effort by a crumbling industry to stop the inflexible march of time: Inevitably, we assumed, something else would come along to set loose the latest Kidz Bop collection online for free. But is the RIAA actually turning a corner toward shutting down the major file-sharing sites and forcing us all into (ugh) legal options? Considering the industry's long, misguided post-Napster track record in this arena, that would be remarkable. For now, the industry's confidence can be further boosted by the fact that Kim Dotcom has been denied bail, with the judge in the case saying "With sufficient determination and financial resources, flight risk remains a real and significant possibility."
File-sharing CEOs worldwide, wherever you are: Be brave out there today. The industry is coming.

Navarre Administration Beginning Budget Process
The Kenai Peninsula Borough administration is working to develop the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. We spoke to Borough Mayor Mike Navarre recently….
KPB Mayor Navarre: "We've gone though many of the departments so far, not all of them, but most of them and we're keeping a pretty good control on cost increases. The service areas are going through their process and have had their meetings, most of them, where they've put their budgets together. We start those meetings I think next week with most of the service areas. And then once we get all that information together, of course, the school district has made a request for funding this year, which I think is $44.5 million, and we're trying to figure out how everything fits in our overall budget."
We'll have more details on the budget process as they are made available.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
April 6, 2011
A state senator is defending her fast talking as she is stopped for speeding on the Kansas Turnpike. Wednesday another video is released by authorities, appearing to show Senator Oletha Faust-Goudeau using her status to try to get out of a speeding ticket.
It was January 2010, on the Kansas Turnpike near the Emporia exit. A Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper stopped Senator Oletha Faust-Goudeau for going 84 in a 70. His car camera recorded the stop.
"I'm a state senator. I just left Topeka," said Faust-Goudeau to the trooper.
Faust-Goudeau explains to the trooper that she just left the McDonalds and couldn't be going that fast already.
Several times she makes sure the trooper knows she's a legislator.
"I'm asking you this, if you would just give me a warning today. I'm asking you as a senator," said Faust-Goudeau. "I'm asking immunity."
The Senator also brought up that the stop may be related to racial profiling.
"Are you sure that this is not racial profiling?" asked Faust-Goudeau during the stop. "No Ma'am," replied the trooper saying it had nothing to do with racial profiling.
The trooper did end up giving Faust-Goudeau a ticket, which she paid. The trooper's supervisor says he called him immediately after the stop to report the more than 15 minute exchange, and did mention the racial profiling comment.
"When you have a state senator that says that to you, that raised a red flag for this officer. Why he was worried was he was thinking, 'I haven't done anything wrong, why would this be brought up,'" said Kansas Highway Patrol Capt. John Walters.
We caught up with Faust-Goudeau Wednesday afternoon at her home.
"Never in my mind was I using my status to get out of the ticket," she said.
This isn't the first tape released. Last month the Wichita police department released two videos showing Faust-Goudeau being stopped for speeding.
One in February of 2011 and the other in October of 2009. In each case she asked for leniency because she is a senator. Now that this third tape has been made public, she's wondering if someone is out to get her. "I'm starting to feel like a witch hunt. Someone is out to discredit me," she said.
Some of Faust-Goudeau's fellow legislators are responding to the incidents saying she is a good person, but made some bad judgment calls and should not have asked to get a warning "as a state senator."

The Dark Knight Rises (Second viewing)
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see this movie a second time, and in the company of three lovely ladies no less. Without spoiling anything, what I noticed on second viewing is how more presence the soundtrack has in this movie. Especially during the opening scene the booming bass really matches well with theSpoilerdeep roaring of the aircrafts.
The soundtrack also picks up an incredible rhythm as the final showdown of the movie draws closer which for those who have seen the movie, involvesSpoilerSeveral tumblers, an armoured truck and the Batwing.
While I still enjoyed the movie immensely, there were a few scenes that were a bit annoying, because they seemed to drag on too long, and felt a bit forced and insincere:SpoilerThe national anthem in the football stadium, which made everyone in the audience cringe, and the whole scene with Blake trying to get the kids off the island. Or the scene where Blake reveals that he could tell Bruce Wayne's secret by looking at his face. Really movie? If it was that easy, anyone could have figured it out. The fact that he is hiding his anger does not automatically make him Batman.
Some of these scenes tend to grind the movie to a screeching halt. Others simply play on the emotions a bit too much, and my heart just wasn't in it. Plenty of other emotional scenes work, like for example most of the scenes involving Alfred.
I also noticed in this particular theater that they had cranked up the volume of the music so much, that it almost drowned out some of the dialogue. It literally felt like there was an orchestra playing right behind the screen, and many times I could not understand neither Bane or Batman.
There's also a few plot points that bother me more than they did the first viewing. For example:
SpoilerWhy would Bane lock Batman in a prison without guards, in some far away desert? How did they get him there? And did Bane fly all the way with him, just to give his speech, and then fly back to Gotham again? How does a man with such a ludicrous mask keep beating airport security? And why lock him in a prison that is known for the fact that a child could escape from it? Why is Bane still surprised when Batman does manage to escape? And the whole League of Shadows plot of cleansing Gotham by blowing it up still makes as much sense as it did in the first movie. But at least now we can kind of blame it on Talia's desire for revenge. But it is still rather none-sensical.
Some of the one liners and gags got less laughs this time around. But the girls all seemed to agree that both catwoman and the cameo by Cillian Murphy were sexy as hell. I don't get what the deal is with Cillian Murphy, but apparently that is a girl's thing. I got great enjoyment by the physical acting by Tom Hardy. I loved it when the camera did this slow pan across his arms and you saw his fingers twitching like some adrenaline pumped psycho. Gary Oldman also did such a great job at portraying this slightly neurotic, but quite vulnerable character. Commisioner Gordon really is the star of this movie. You don't want him to die, but this movie does not hold back with his character's story at all. The part of Blake feels a bit off throughout the movie. I think most of the audience felt it was a bit weird to have this unknown character play such a big part in a movie that should probably be about Batman. But don't get me wrong, I don't mind that it is mostly not about Batman. But Blake just sticks out like a sore thumb.
I most certainly already mentioned it, but again even on second viewing the fight choreography is great. Bane has a couple of extremely violent bursts of power where he just unleashes a fury of blows on Batman, and it looks vicious. Again, this fits so well with the character of bane. And everything about the way Tom Hardy moves and poses is just really menacing. I can not give enough praise to this actor, for standing in the shadow of Heath Ledger's Joker and delivering such a wonderful performance.
Go see this movie.

Rob, I was speculating along the same line as some of your points as well. I was thinking that perhaps Blake was rescued by Batman in the first movie at some point? I thought he seemed to imply that when he was talking to Bruce that first time.SpoilerAnd with knowing that he is supposed to become Robin, one could suppose that he's so sharp that that's how he figured out Batman's ID with so few clues, and that sharpness is part of why Bruce lets Blake take over for him. It's a huuuuge stretch, but it does help to fit Blake more into the story.

So apparently, The Hobbit is going to be a trilogy as well.
That..seems a bit tricky to me.

You can tell the quality of life of people by what they complain about
01-08-2012, 20:11 #2285SpoilerA child vs. the countless adults that have, time and time again, before and after, failed to follow suit. I think Talia's age at the time stops being relevant with that detail alone well before anyone starts getting to the other circumstances surrounding her escape (knowing only The Pit her entire life, fear of death, etc) and comparing them against that of Bruce's. Plus, you know, broken backs are hard to recover from as quickly as Batman did.

OK, here is my upcoming review announcement: I will see the Batman on Monday and have bought "John Carter from Mars" from a cheap Amazon offer and "Prince of Persia" for even less. Lets see if the later ones are as bad as critics have said or if they will actually entertain me during my Olympic breaks.
PS: OK, here are the first...
Prince of Persia - Sands of Time
Set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince and a mysterious princess race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time -- a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
First, I have never played the computer games, so I can't comment on how the movie borrowed story elements from them. Th eonly thing I can remember about them is that there is a lot of jumping and running along walls, which the film features a lot in its actions sequences. The fighting scenes are all PG-13 as you would expect from a Disney movie. The story follows the scheme of an computer game switching from "cinematic cut scenes" to "jumping puzzles" to "fight scenes", changing places a lot. This way you kind of miss the development of story as it divides the "levels" very much. Gemma Atkinson as the "princess in distress" has a very volatile character, being nice, silly, stubborn and love struck all mixed up. Didn't like her really. Also Alfred Molina as Amar - a comic relief character - was too much and the moment Ben Kingsley made his appearance, you knew what his part will be in the end.
OK, done with the nagging. Prince of Persia is a feel good escapism movie that has good set design and entertained me more than I expected.

Just caught the subbed version of Paprika on FilmFour (I really need to keep a better eye on that channel) and... I now have a headache trying to process it. It's quite possibly the biggest cinematic mindscrew I've seen in years.
Not a bad thing, I should add.

Oh dear God, not The Hobbit. Wasn't Lord of the Rings enough? *shudders*
My boyfriend and I went to see the new Total Recall today. His idea, not mine. I vaguely remember the old one with Arnold, and I didn't like it from what I do recall (pardon the pun). I've never been a fan of sci-fi (unless you count Resident Evil as such), so I wasn't really expecting much from this movie. According to my boyfriend, this version is nothing like the original apart from the main guy's profession and a couple of names. The rest is all different, including the lack of Mars. I did get a chuckle out of the red-haired woman in the security scene; I wondered if they'd seriously use her again for the mask part the whole time. The movie as a whole wasn't too bad, even to someone like me who didn't like the original, but it's not something I'll hurry to buy on release day, and I doubt I'd buy it even if it was in the $5 bin at Walmart. It's just not my thing, but if you like sci-fi, action, and even the original, you'll probably appreciate it. I won't give it a rating because I really don't know what to give it based on these facts.
During the previews, they showed...Resident Evil Retribution!!! I'm super excited for that one! I'm going to make him take me to it; he won't take me to see The Dark Knight Rises or Breaking Dawn Part 2, so he's going to take me to this one! muhahahahaha
Here's the official trailer:
They also showed a preview for the next James Bond movie, Skyfall. It looks promising as well, but I don't know if we'll see it in theaters or not. Here's its trailer:

i love to see the new resident evil movie, i have seen them all and they are all pretty good. (except for the second one tho, that one had not much story in it)
now all i need is to wait for it to go on DVD, or maybe a decent cam when i can't wait.

Family vows support for NM teen murder suspect
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 10:48pm EST
By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Relatives of a New Mexico teen facing charges in the slayings of his parents and three younger siblings said Tuesday they are refusing to give up on the boy and are vowing to support him as his case moves through the justice system.
Nehemiah Griego's family members told The Associated Press in an interview that they are heartbroken over the tragedy and that there were never any signs that something like this would happen.
They described the 15-year-old as a normal teenager who was close to his family, loved wrestling with his father and brother, played in the church youth band and was known for his guitar solos.
"Nehemiah is a loving kid. He loved his family and he made a really terrible mistake and we don't know why he did it," said his older sister, Annette Griego. "We don't know whether he had a mental breakdown. We just don't know. We don't have answers."
Nehemiah Griego has been in custody since Jan. 19, when authorities say he shot his parents and siblings in their home in a rural area south of Albuquerque.
His parents, Greg and Sarah Griego, were well-known throughout the community for more than a decade of ministry work with inmates at the county jail. Greg Griego, an Army veteran, also served as a pastor at one of Albuquerque's largest Christian churches and was a volunteer chaplain with the local fire department.
Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston has said the teen told detectives he was angry with his mother and had been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts.
Family members have been critical of how the investigation has been handled and are pushing for a psychiatric evaluation for the teen in hopes of finding out what led to the violence.
Griego has been classified as a serious youthful offender and is facing charges as an adult. His relatives said they forgive him and prefer that he be tried as a juvenile.
"For us, justice is what the victims of this crime would want and what they would have wanted is for us to do everything we can to make sure that Nehemiah is given the fairest chance to turn his life around, that he not be cast away to an adult prison system where he can never have an opportunity for redemption," said Eric Griego, the boy's uncle.

This marks the completion of the eighth iteration of the LCDP since its inception in 1997. The closing ceremonies included formal remarks from ARL president Carol Diedrichs, as well as reflections from 2013–2014 fellow Joel Thornton of the Texas A&M University Libraries. The poster session highlighted research projects conducted by the fellows during their 18-month fellowship. The event was attended by numerous ARL member library directors, LCDP alumni, and special guests.

The Toronto institute included an array of rich programs, presentations, tours, and networking events, as well as opportunities for the fellows to meet numerous University of Toronto administrators and library staff. A recurring theme of the institute was collaboration, including external partnerships with the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) as well as on-campus collaborations.
Close the Innovation Deficit One year after they launched a campaign to urge the US Congress and the President to close the nation's innovation deficit, a group of prominent higher education, scientific, and business organizations, including the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), today renewed their call for increased federal investments in research to build a strong long-term economy, improve medical treatments, and strengthen national security. As Congress prepares to break for its August recess, leaving key FY 2015 funding decisions to be addressed in September, leaders from those organizations today are conducting a coordinated nationwide effort to communicate the need to close the innovation deficit.
This week, ARL joined two groups of organizations that engage on privacy and surveillance issues in letters to US Congressional leadership expressing support for the compromise version of the USA FREEDOM Act introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) on July 29, 2014 (S. 2685). The July 29 letter focuses on the enhanced transparency provision (PDF) and the July 30 letter addresses the bill more comprehensively (PDF). Both letters urge Congress to act swiftly and pass the new version of the bill, without any dilution or amendment.
UW Suzzallo Library, image © Chris DubéARL and the conference planning committee have awarded five outstanding individuals Library Assessment Conference Travel Awards for 2014. These grants are offered to students and early-career professionals from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who have demonstrated a strong interest in assessment and have the potential to contribute to the profession by deploying and developing innovative assessment and evaluation methods and strategies. The awards cover attendance, travel, and meals at the Library Assessment Conference, which will be held at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, August 4–7, 2014.
Elliott ShoreDuring the first three weeks of July, ARL executive director Elliott Shore travelled to Europe, Canada, and across the US to participate in five gatherings that focused on libraries, higher education, leadership, and innovation: the LIBER Conference, the Jisc-CNI Conference, the Breakthrough Models Academy, the ARL Leadership Fellows Institute, and the Aspen Institute's Roundtable on Institutional Innovation. These events provided Shore with an opportunity to expand on the various initiatives informed by and resulting from ARL's strategic thinking and design process.
image © Mario LapidOn July 23, 2014, the Library Copyright Alliance (LCA)—the American Library Association (ALA), Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)—filed a statement (PDF) with the US House of Representatives Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet for the subcommittee's July 24 hearing on copyright remedies. The LCA statement focuses on problems with statutory damages. The statement notes that the existing safe harbor requiring a court to remit statutory damages when a library, archive, educational institution, or public broadcasting entity believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that its use of material constituted fair use applies only to the reproduction right. The statement recommends an update to reflect the digital era so that this safe harbor applies to any type of use, including uses implicating performance, display, distribution, or derivative work rights.
