72 Washington Square SouthManhattan > Greenwich Village > Washington Square South
The Washington Square of Henry James meant the genteel northern edge. Across the park, the southern side was for bohemians. One building was called "The House of Genius" because of all the well-known authors who roomed there.
• • It was 100 years ago when Mary Louise Cecilia Guinan [1884-1933] arrived in Manhattan — alone, newly divorced, and steeled by self-determination. In Waco, Texas, the Irish-American tomboy had been called "Mayme." She matured into "Marie Guinan," recalled broadcaster Lowell Thomas (in his 1976 autobiography), the demure Sunday school teacher he had a huge crush on. In 1907, the ambitious 23-year-old rented a $2/ week room in 72 Washington Square South and assumed a louder identity: TEXAS Guinan. Soon she made her family move east to join her.
• • "Tex could never have lived anywhere but in Greenwich Village," observed her biographer Louise Berliner, whose grandfather Maxwell E. Lopin was the lawyer who kept the speakeasy hostess out of jail after numerous police raids during the 1920s.
• • Here's the neighborhood that Texas Guinan saw around her - - before the N.Y.U. Goliath swallowed up all the real estate.

Marble Garden Zone
|Marble Garden Zone
|Features in
|Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
|Level Type
|Angel Island
|Preceded by
|Hydrocity Zone
|Proceeded by
|Carnival Night Zone
The Marble Garden Zone is the third zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles and is somewhat reminiscent of the Marble Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog, only containing much more grassland and being larger over all. After finishing the Hydrocity Zone, the player is propelled into the Marble Garden Zone via a jet of water from the ground.
The zone is a maze of ruins with pools of a dark liquid scattered throughout. There are also blue spinning tops which can be used to travel at high speeds and also to fly to reach higher areas. During act 2 Dr. Robotnik attacks periodically in his Drill Mobile, creating a shock wave throughout the area which causes sections of the zone to start to crumble apart.
[edit] Badniks
[edit] Bosses
This zone contains two bosses; a sub-boss and the main boss.

Discussion in 'Transformers Animated Discussion' started by Commtech, Jul 21, 2008.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but when does season 3 start? Thanks!
Not soon enough.
Febuary 13th, 2010
I beleive November. Though I cannot cite my sources at the momment. (and no, it was not the Wikipedia)
Damn str8! best TF show since beast wars
I'd say when they finish re-airing all the episodes and the toys too wrap up(like characters from the two seasons)
One problem, they actually need to make season 3 first. The episodes are not finished yet.
We'll probably find out on Saturday at Comic-Con
I'm just glad I DVR'd all the episodes! They are doing a fantastic job in the character development and creative areas! Really looking forward to the new season, AND new waves of characters from the last two!*
* HERE'S HOPING FOR A LEADER CLASS (or above) OMEGA SUPREME!
I know that thats why they can work on it in the mean time!
Have they even confirmed a third season yet?
Yes. It's in production. (it's been in production for some time now)
Supreme Class okay with you sport?
DAMNIT! I was hoping it'd be MUCH sooner than that!
Yeahhhhh.... Why? You heard sumthin'?!
November 22, 2008 I hope.
There is a strong possibility that season 2 could be out on DVD before we see season 3
Look for another "mini-movie" to kick off the new season, probably in December. Then expect Season 3 to air in the beginning of 2009.
Oh sweet. Wait, Mini-movie like 'Megatron Rising' and 'A Bridge too Close' were edited into one episode, or like 'Transform and Roll Out'?
Separate names with a comma.

An internal oscillator requires no external components. The clock input stage divides the oscillator frequency by two, which provides the switching frequency of 22.5 kHz. The oscillator may also be used to synchronize multiple amplifiers. Current sensing is provided for each half of the bridge giving amplitude and direction data. A shutdown input turns off all four drivers of the H-bridge output. A high side current limit and the programmable low side current limit protect the amplifier from shorts to supply or ground in addition to load shorts. The H-bridge output IGBTs are protected from thermal overloads by directly sensing the temperature of the die. The 12-pin hermetic MO-127 power package occupies only 3 square inches of board space.

Visit www.Cirrus.com for design tools that help automate pwm filter design; heat sink selection; Apex Precision Power's complete Application Notes library; Technical Seminar Workbook; and Evaluation Kits. CLOCK CIRCUIT AND RAMP GENERATOR The clock frequency is internally set to a frequency of approximately 45kHz. The CLK OUT pin will normally be tied to the CLK IN pin. The clock is divided by two and applied to an RC network which produces a ramp signal. An external clock signal can be applied to the CLK IN pin for synchronization purposes, but must be 45 kHz +/- 2%. FLAG OUTPUT Whenever the SA08 has detected a fault condition, the flag output is set high (10V). When the programmable low side current limit is exceeded, the FLAG output will be set high. The FLAG output will be reset low on the next clock cycle. This reflects the pulse-by-pulse current limiting feature. When the internally-set high side current limit is tripped or the thermal limit is reached, the FLAG output is latched high. See PROTECTION CIRCUITS below. PROTECTION CIRCUITS A fixed internal current limit senses the high side current. Should either of the outputs be shorted to ground the high side current limit will latch off the output transistors. The temperature of the output transistors is also monitored. Should a fault condition raise the temperature of the output transistors to 165°C the thermal protection circuit latch off the output transistors. The latched condition can be cleared by either recycling the Vcc power or by toggling the I LIMIT/SHDN input with a 10V pulse. See Figures A and B. The outputs will remain off as long as the shutdown pulse is high (10V). CURRENT LIMIT There are two load current sensing pins, I SENSE A and I SENSE B. The two pins can be shorted in the voltage mode connection but both must be used in the current mode connection (see figures A and B). It is recommended that RLIMIT resistors be non-inductive. Load current flows in the I SENSE pins. To avoid errors due to lead lengths connect the I LIMIT/SHDN pin directly to the RLIMIT resistors (through the filter network and shutdown divider resisI SENSE A tor) and connect the RLIMIT resistors directly R LIMIT to the GND pin. I SENSE B Sw i t c h i n g n o i s e spikes will invariably 5K SHUTDOWN be found at the I SENSE I LIMIT/SHDN R FILTER SIGNAL pins.

CURRENT LIMIT WITH amplitude without SHUTDOWN CURRENT MODE. careful attention to grounding of the oscilloscope probe. Use the shortest possible ground lead for the probe and connect exactly at the GND terminal of the amplifier. Suggested starting values are CFILTER = .1uF, RFILTER = 5k . I SENSE A 5K The required value of RLIMIT in voltage mode may be calculated by: RLIMIT = .1 V / ILIMIT where RLIMIT is the required resistor value, and ILIMIT is the maximum desired current. In current mode the required value of each RLIMIT is 2 times this value since the sense voltage is divided down by 2 (see Figure B). If RSHDN is used it will further divide down the sense voltage. The shutdown divider network will also have an effect on the filtering circuit. BYPASSING Adequate bypassing of the power supplies is required for proper operation. Failure to do so can cause erratic and low efficiency operation as well as excessive ringing at the outputs. The Vs supply should be bypassed with at least a 1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with another low ESR capacitor of at least 10µF per amp of output current. Capacitor types rated for switching applications are the only types that should be considered. The bypass capacitors must be physically connected directly to the power supply pins. Even one inch of lead length will cause excessive ringing at the outputs. This is due to the very fast switching times and the inductance of the lead connection. The bypassing requirements of the Vcc supply are less stringent, but still necessary. A .1µF to .47µF ceramic capacitor connected directly to the Vcc pin will suffice. STARTUP CONDITIONS The high side of the IGBT output bridge circuit is driven by bootstrap circuit and charge pump arrangement. In order for the circuit to produce a 100% duty cycle indefinitely the low side of each half bridge circuit must have previously been in the ON condition. This means, in turn, that if the input signal to the SA08 at startup is demanding a 100% duty cycle, the output may not follow the command and may be in a tri-state condition. The ramp signal must cross the input signal at some point to correctly determine the output state. After the ramp crosses the input signal level one time, the output state will be correct thereafter.

Great to meet you all in person on Monday. I was telling Al Gilman about some work done on evaluation of voting technology by Roy Saltman (from NIST, then the National Bureau of Standards) started in the 1970's. His 1993 paper at http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/cfp93/saltman.html summarizes a lot of his findings and that fact that his (now deja vu) recommendations were never followed. Al thought you might find the paper interesting, especially in light of the possibilities that the internet can now provide.

Liz Cheney Blasts Liar Pelosi: "Her Spine Doesn't Seem to Reach Her Brain" (Video)
Liz Cheney blasted Nancy Pelosi after her outrageous remarks about the CIA's decision to use enhanced interrogation techniques.
Pelosi was briefed on the interrogation program after 9-11 but now wants to cast blame on the Bush administration and CIA after she approved of the techniques years ago.
Talking Points Memo reported, via Politomix:
Liz Cheney has been fiercely defending her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney (R), over reports on the Senate's investigation into CIA torture under the Bush-Cheney administration.
On Sunday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that Dick Cheney "set a tone and an attitude for the CIA" and that he was "proud" of his involvement in CIA's decision to use enhanced interrogation techniques.
On Tuesday morning, Liz Cheney hit back at Pelosi for her comments.
"Frankly, Mrs. Pelosi is somebody who was briefed on the program," Cheney said on "Fox and Friends," according to Mediaite. "She forgot she was briefed on the program, later had to admit it.

"We've got too many in Washington who were all in favor of doing everything necessary to defend the the nation after 9/11, and now seem to be really not interested in looking at the facts, but really just looking for a way, frankly, to cast blame and say things that aren't true about those brave men and women," Cheney continued.

In Greek mythology, the lotus-eaters (Greek λωτοφάγοι, lōtophagoi), also referred to as the lotophagi or lotophaguses (singular lotophagus, pronounced /ləˈtɒfəɡəs/) or lotophages (singular lotophage, pronounced /ˈloʊtəfeɪdʒ/), were a race of people from an island near North Africa ( possibly Djerba ) dominated by lotus plants. The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were narcotic causing the people to sleep in peaceful apathy.
In Odyssey IX, Odysseus tells how adverse north winds blew him and his men off course as they were rounding Cape Malea, the southernmost tip of the Peloponnesus, headed westwards for Ithaca:
"I was driven thence by foul winds for a space of 9 days upon the sea, but on the tenth day we reached the land of the Lotus-eaters, who live on a food that comes from a kind of flower. Here we landed to take in fresh water, and our crews got their mid-day meal on the shore near the ships. When they had eaten and drunk I sent two of my company to see what manner of men the people of the place might be, and they had a third man under them. They started at once, and went about among the Lotus-Eaters, who did them no hurt, but gave them to eat of the lotus, which was so delicious that those who ate of it left off caring about home, and did not even want to go back and say what had happened to them, but were for staying and munching lotus with the Lotus-eaters without thinking further of their return; nevertheless, though they wept bitterly I forced them back to the ships and made them fast under the benches. Then I told the rest to go on board at once, lest any of them should taste of the lotus and leave off wanting to get home, so they took their places and smote the grey sea with their oars."[1]
This passage served as the source for Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lotos-Eaters." It is also referenced in the fifth chapter of Ulysses by James Joyce, also titled "Lotus Eaters."
Herodotus, in the fifth century BC, was sure that the lotus-eaters still existed in his day, in coastal Libya:
A promontory jutting out into the sea from the country of the Gindanes is inhabited by the lotus-eaters, who live entirely on the fruit of the lotus-tree. The lotus fruit is about the size of the lentisk berry,[2] and in sweetness resembles the date. The lotus-eaters even succeed in obtaining from it a sort of wine.[3]

The Surprisingly Sad Story of a Dandelion
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love that Nogizaka46 has finally gotten some decent music and some really good music videos. They're pretty much the only '48 group that I've found interesting lately. But I keep wondering, "Will it last?" Is Nogizaka46 going to reach the same point that AKB48 has and stagnate? Or did they already go through their phase of god-awful songs? Have the producers of Nogizaka46 just finally gotten their shit together and figured out what sound and image works best for Nogizaka46? Around the time of Seifuku no Mannequin, I wasn't sure. At the time, I was half-convinced that song was just a fluke, along with the music video. Kimi no Na wa Kibou was a very pretty, albeit simple song. Then Girl's Rule came along, and that was a fun summer song with a surprisingly pretty, nostalgic music video. And then Barrette broke into a men's club carrying machine guns and became the best '48 release of 2013. Barrette set a pretty high bar for Nogizaka46's next single, musically and visually. I wasn't sure if Nogizaka46 would be able to top that. Now here we are. Kizuitara Kataomoi is, crazily enough, Nogizaka46's eighth single and their first of the chunk of '48 singles we can expect this year. Now how does Kizuitara Kataomoi hold up against AKB, SKE, NMB, and HKT's spring singles?
My verdict? It's the best one so far.
My hope is that Nogizaka46 will release an eve better song this year than Kizuitara Kataomoi, but you know, baby steps. I've found that the easiest thing to do when expecting idol releases is... not to expect them. I'm not saying keep expectations low, just don't hold any. Be prepared for anything to happen, good or bad. That being said... Kizuitara Kataomoi is beautiful. Good god, I could listen to this song all day. Actually, I kind of have. It's one of the idol songs this year I've been playing the most. And it's one of the first singles this year to stick in my head easily. What to say about this song, what to say... well, other than the fact that it's wonderful. I wouldn't say Kizuitara is a ballad, it's too upbeat for that, but there is still a very wistful tone to the song. I actually like that the song isn't a ballad, and you'll see why when I talk about the PV. And there's something about the song structure that's very... different from what I thought it was going to sound like. I mean different in a good way! Like the way the verses are sung very quickly and then the chorus slows down is a strange vocal choice, but it surprisingly works well. In fact, I think that distinct vocal structure (that doesn't sound like every other '48 song) just made Kizuitara Kataomoi stand out even more.
You know what song Kizuitara Kataomoi reminds me most of? Connect by ClariS. Connect is definitely more orchestral but the general sound of both songs is very similar. They're both uplifting songs with pretty piano, light, delicate vocals, and a gorgeous key change at some point. God, I am such a sucker for key changes. Even in terrible songs, I still like the key changes. And the one in Kizuitara Kataomoi is gorgeous. Connect is one of my favorite idol songs, so its similarities to Kizuitara Kataomoi are completely okay with me. I'd rather it be similar to Connect than to other '48 songs. As I said before, this is a very pretty song. The strings in particular struck me as pretty, along with the subtle piano played throughout the song. I just love the entire arrangement of Kizuitara Kataomoi, and it keeps growing on me the more I listen to the song. I mean, I already liked Kizuitara Kataomoi on my first listen, but I feel like each time I replay it, the song sounds better. I guess the song is just like wine and gets better with time.
Something else that I like about Kizuitara Kataomoi are the lyrics. The only time I really pay attention to idol lyrics is when they're good lyrics. A majority of Aki-P's lyrics aren't really worth talking about, but I find Kizuitara Kataomoi's to be surprisingly touching. I guess because I find unrequited love to be a more interesting topic to sing about than the other kind? And there's just something about Kizuitara Kataomoi's lyrics that sounds very, very sad. Reading the translation, I can just hear the desperation and conflicted frustration and bitter acceptance in the lyrics of the song. The lyrics being well-written just make Kizuitara Kataomoi an even better song! I'm serious, this is probably so far my favorite '48 release this year, and considering most groups' outputs, it will probably end up being my favorite overall. Unless another group decides to blow me away again. Which I don't expect happening any time soon. After all, it's not like me using reverse psychology would work, right? Back to Kizuitara Kataomoi, I really do love this song. The song has such a beautiful and memorable tone to it. Kizuitara Kataomoi may even be my favorite Nogizaka46 song. It at least tops Barrette!
But that's just songs. Barrette was an all right song, and there are many '48 songs that are better. The real question is this: can Kizuitara Kataomoi's PV top Barrette? I mean the PV for Barrette was freaking awesome. It would be damn hard for Nogizaka46 to come up with an even better PV than Barrette. So did they? Only one way to find out!
How does Kizuitara Kataomoi begin? With a dandelion, a single little dandelion that will prove very important to this story.
And also there's Nanase, member of Nogizaka46 who will also prove very important to this story!
Mainly because she's dying of an unspecified illness.
It's probably the same one that Matsui Jurina died of in Sakura no Ki ni Narou.
Now since there are captions in this music video, I'm just going to repost the English translations from this subbed video. This one says, "Am I dead?"
"God... I beg you for some more time..."
Well, everything's blurred, there's a bright light, this can only mean one thing...
This is a pretty shot, very ethereal. Which makes sense given the context of the PV.
There is nothing worse than that gut-drop feeling when you're told a loved one has died.
I'm not completely sure what happens in this scene, but Mai's involvement is important.
"The time I can stay on this world, maybe as long as the dandelion still has seeds."
Here's Nanase, looking very much alive!
And even better, she's center of Nogizaka46's next single!
What could possibly go wrong now, am I right?
Let's just hope that little dandelion left in the middle of a field doesn't lose its seeds!
"In this case, time is running out."
Mai obviously understands the gravity of the situation.
"Nanase, you push yourself too much."
Ah, a rooftop, the best place to hold insightful conversations and confess things!
"For me, there is not enough time."
Another attempt by Nanase to lessen awkwardness between herself and Mai...
...unfortunately does not go as well as planned.
Rina properly calls out Mai for her prickly behavior towards Nanase.
"You behave so cold because of jealousy, don't you?"
I actually really like Mai's character in this PV. Usually, that rival/antagonist character is very trite, but Mai's emotions feel very justified.
I mean, she's only acting so cold to distance herself from the knowledge that Nanase can't stick around forever.
"It's not true! It's only because Mai is worried about my health..."
And then... the inevitable happens.
The dandelion starts to wear down and so does Nanase.
But that doesn't stop Mai from rushing out to protect the little dandelion.
How long can she protect before the elements blow it away though?
"I will protect Nanase's life."
I actually feel really sorry for Mai in this PV, you can tell how much Nanase's immutable death is affecting her.
And it makes her hug with Nanase afterward all the more heartwarming.
Actually, this entire part is very, very heartwarming.
"Everybody... Sorry I've kept it as a secret."
Another insightful rooftop conversation with Nanami.
This time Nanase's reflecting on how grateful she is to be able to perform.
And now the members give their all into preparing for the performance!
Despite the dandelions seeds slowly blowing away...
Even though Nanase coughs up seeds (What?), she still perseveres!
Of course they take a picture for memory!
The night of the performance arrives, with Nanase not doing so well.
Nonetheless, she gets on stage and they all dance the night away!
Meanwhile, the dandelion grows smaller and smaller...
...until finally there are no seeds left.
And so Nanase gives one last look to her team members and friends.
Then, with no ties left to this earth, she disappears into a puff of dandelion seeds.
And in my opinion, that makes for a perfect ending to this little story.
I do wonder how the girls explained that to the audience though...
The final shot lingers on the last picture of Nanase, with a dandelion seed (very subtly) fallen over her head, thus concluding our story.
Wow... just... wow. I'm not being facetious, that really was my first reaction when I watched the PV for Kizuitara Kataomoi. And that was before I even knew what the music video was really about! The story for Kizuitara Kataomoi is simple, but I was completely invested watching the entire music video for the first time. Because while Kizuitara Kataomoi story's is simple, it's a good story. To really know what the music video was about though, I did need some more context, which is my way of saying I needed subtitles. Unlike some music videos that have unnecessary subtitles, I highly recommend watching Kizuitara Kataomoi with subtitles if you do not speak Japanese. You can still follow the story without subtitles, but many of the little gaps are filled when you know understand the writing and the dialogue. In fact, here's a video with the subtitles. There, you don't even have to actively search for one now! So what are you waiting for!? Watch it! Love it! Build a shrine to- okay, not that last one. But do enjoy the music video for Kizuitara Kataomoi, because it is a good one. Maybe even better than Barrette...
As you can deduce, I am completely enthralled with Kizuitara Kataomoi. I love the story, the connection to the song, the ending, everything. It actually reminds me very much of a fairy tale told in a contemporary setting. A girl almost dies but is given one more chance to live so long as this one little dandelion keeps its seeds. But nature marches on and the dandelion can only keeps its seeds for so long, and the girl is able to give one final performance as center of Nogizaka46 before dissolving into a bunch of little dandelion seeds. I mean, couldn't you see that as a Hans Christian Anderson story!? Well, maybe without all the religious morals, but still! I like how the story of Kizuitara Kataomoi is simple and doesn't try to explain how a weed is keeping a girl alive or why said girl dissolves into dandelions at the end. It just presents a story and expects the viewer to go along with the strange circumstances the same way the characters in the story do. Just like a fairy tale! And I also love how the story is interwoven with elements of real life and Nogizaka46 itself. That realism combined with fantasy gives the story much more poignancy. It even adds sadness to the PV because you just know how much stress all these girls go through striving for a center position.
To me, Kizuitara Kataomoi is as sad as, maybe even sadder than, Sakura no Ki ni Narou. But it's hard to compare since both are so similar and so good. Both music videos involve the death of a friend along with flowers and- hold on. Is Kizuitara to Nogizaka46 what Sakura no Ki ni Narou was to AKB48? Two beautiful PVs with slight otherworldly themes that involve passing on? I guess if I wanted to explore the rivalry aspect of Nogizaka46 (lord knows I'd do it better than AKS does), I could easily make several comparisons between Kizuitara Kataomoi and Sakura no Ki ni Narou. And they're both spring singles! Wait a minute... does that also make Barrette for Nogizaka46 the same to what Beginner was for AKB48? Of course, not in terms of songs; Barrette as a song can't even compare to Beginner. But as for the music videos... both Beginner and Barrette's PVs were dark and surprisingly violent for their respective idol groups. Is Nogizaka46 turning into a better version of AKB48!? Is their summer single going to feature nods to their previous music videos a la Everyday Kachuusha!? But then they'd have to make a nod to Oide Shampoo... eugh.
Back on subject, Kizuitara Kataomoi's PV is definitely up there with the sad idol music videos I've watched. The PV doesn't have me crying buckets or anything, but when I was watching it, I still felt sad. It was a... bittersweet kind of sad. You know, the kind when you know something's going to happen and you know you can't prevent it, so you just try your best to come to terms with it until it happens. That kind of sad... it kind of sucks. The more I think about it, I don't really see a lot of truly sad idol PVs. Lots of happy ones, serious ones, bright ones, edgy ones, cheap ones, but never any that make me feel sad while watching them. I can maybe count on one hand the number of sad idol PVs that I've watched. Kizuitara Kataomoi invoked a lot of the same emotions from me that Sakura no Ki ni Narou did. There was just the right amount of story and emotion that the PV didn't come as melodramatic or phony. I like also that the PV is only around 10 minutes long as opposed to a full-blown drama PV; I think lengthening the story would just kill the emotional levels of the PV. That's why so many of AKB48's "drama PVs" fail for me. They don't properly raise the stakes, and spend too much time meandering and not doing anything interesting. With Kizuitara Kataomoi, they don't waste much time in telling the story and showing how it effects the girls in the PV.
I think the only thing I may have liked to see more of in Kizuitara Kataomoi is the more magical side of the story. The idea is great and The outdoors shots showing the dandelion are beautiful, and it would have been nice to explore more nature scenes like that. But other than that, I don't really have any other criticisms for this PV. I will admit, initially I didn't really get any connection between the meaning of the song and the PV. The song is about unrequited love between a girl and a boy, and the music video is obviously not. But the more I thought about it, I realized that maybe the unrequited love in the PV is between Nanase and her desire to perform in Nogizaka46. It kind of fits with the story, and I think gives even more poignance to the PV. Even if that's not what the music video is supposed to mean, I still felt like there was a lot of good emotion in this PV. Acting in idol PVs ranges from decent to Z-movie material, and the acting in Kizuitara Kataomoi thankfully falls closer to the former. Again, it's a simple storyline that only requires simple emotions, and I think the girls handled those emotions well.
Overall, I'm impressed with Kizuitara Kataomoi more than I ever thought I would be. After Barrette, I kind of figured that whatever Nogizaka46 released next probably wouldn't be as good, but Kizuitara Kataomoi is amazing. I think at this point I can say that Nogizaka46's string of good singles isn't a fluke anymore. I don't know how, but at some point management got their shit together and started developing a better image and better songs for Nogizaka46. Now I think I finally understand what Nogizaka46's management is going for with them. What I get from watching their music videos is a cleaner, simpler, and more classic image than any of their sister groups. Even the way they dress is very reminiscent of older idol groups such as Onyanko Club. I think Nogizaka46 works better as the "updated" version of an 80s idol group more than they do as "rivals" of AKB48. Although considering the sales of Kizuitara Kataomoi have been their highest yet, Nogizaka46 might be more formidable rivals to AKB48 now than they've ever been in the past. I think Kizuitara Kataomoi is my favorite music video from them. This one or Barrette. The PV for Kizuitara has a wonderful story and a wonderful way of exploring that story, making for a music video that is both enchanting and melancholic.
Yeah, this is a five apples kind of release. I think Kizuitara Kataomoi is Nogizaka46's strongest release yet, and I can only hope that their next single is even stronger. Kizuitara Kataomoi is a beautiful song with a really distinct melody that's refreshing to hear from a '48 group. The music video matches perfectly to video, delivering a wonderfully sweet and even sad story that had me invested the entire time. Whether Nogizaka46's follow-up to this will be good or bad, I can't say, but I'm (tentatively) anticipating it.

Thanks a lot for the review... this song is like a drug for me... I keep going back for more.... loved the concept, everything...ReplyDelete
and usually the lyrics and PVs does not go hand in hand, specially in japan...
and if i were match the lyrics with the PV I'd say they were in Mai's point of view, specially how cold she is in the beginning trying to not get hurt by inevitable death of her friend that she knows is coming... but she couldn't help herself and gets involved anyway....
as for this being the best I see no reason to say otherwise.... specially now that I've seen Labrador Retriever PV.... I can't find words to express how awful it is....
you could make a ranking of the worst 48 group PVs ever...Replies
You're welcome! Yeah, Kizuitara Kataomoi just gets better and better over time.Delete
I figured the lyrics don't have much to do with the PV, it's just something I always like to speculate on for fun! I get what you're saying about Mai though, the song being from her point of view makes a lot of sense! And only makes that storyline even sadder...
Labrador Retriever... I don't even know where to start with that pile of dog poop.
You know, I just might. Or maybe worst '48 songs ever. Or both!
- AnonymousMay 1, 2014 at 10:42 AM
do you want to know something that made me shocked O_O?????Delete
is finding people that actually liked the song and the pv for labrador in stage48.... i was just like... REALLY?!?! i hoped for more dissatisfaction....
but that just shows me that people's tastes are different...
that pv is weird and awful no matter how many times i see it... i'll concede this though: takamina's part was funny... that's it....
WHAT!? The one thing that everyone in Stage48 can agree on is that Labrador Retriever is GOOD!?Delete
I don't get forums.
The PV isn't the worst I've seen (but I've seen lots of bad PVs), but it is really, really weird. And not in the fun Kyarypamyupamyu way.
- AnonymousMay 1, 2014 at 2:46 AM
This single is such a solid and good single, all the pv's and songs in it were all so good! (Romance no Start's PV was really fun to watch)ReplyDelete
This is probably my favorite single from them and It'll be hard to top this, but hey, feel free to surprise everyone again Nogizaka46, I'll be waiting.Replies
I know, it is a really solid single, especially from Nogizaka46. I liked the B-side PVs too, they were all super fun and cool!Delete
I am hoping that Nogizaka46 can surprise us all again! They've done it consecutively several times now, I'd hate for them to break their streak...
- AnonymousMay 16, 2014 at 5:47 AM
You know, some Nogi fans don't like when Nogizaka46 is being compared (or worse, considered similar with) 48 family. Every time you mentioned '48 releases' to refer to Nogi singles, it feels kinda sad ;A;ReplyDelete
Well it's not like I can do anything about it because too many people did the same thing lol. But now that you are into some of their singles, I'm hoping in the future that you could compare Nogi more to the general idols, not just with 48 family.
But again, that's just my two cents. At least I provided you with some kinda different point of view.
Anyway, I love your writings about Nogizaka46! Especially after they 180-ed you :)Replies
Oh really? I did not know that... The only reason I refer to Nogizaka46's release as '48 releases, is because AKB48 is the reason they were established and ultimately is run by many of the same minds behind the '48 groups.Delete
I compare Nogizaka46's songs to other '48 release (mainly AKB48), because technically, they're still "rivals." It's just my way of measuring up how Nogizaka46's releases stand against their "rival group" AKB48.
I do understand where you're coming from though, and I'll try and keep that in mind when I'm reviewing Nogizaka46's future singles!

Women's Day seems to celebrated at different levels in Western Europe. There is a growing awareness of it in the U.K and in Austria it appears to be much more ingrained into the national psyche, or, maybe, to be more correct, (though not researched) into the psyche of the younger age groups who cluster in the cities. This latter thought, may apply to many other areas in this part of the globe.
There is without doubt, an awareness of the celebration of women. I think it is a signpost to the fact that men are so globally dominant that women have to assert that they exist, that they have abilities and must be accorded the recognition and respect that is sadly missing otherwise.
The celebration for and of women is non existent in vast regions of this planet. I fervently wish that the celebrations of women, even just one day a year, will lead to little benefits in the closed societies we know about.

Thank you for your kind and strong comment. It was beneficial for me to have joined the reading. On the broadcast, a congress woman said that equal right bills have been introduced many times but has never been passed. I don't know the detail, but I thought it odd.
It's a coincidence that yesterday, I was reading a discussion between two Japanese history scholars and found out that women in Kanto area (Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa(Yokohama included) had a new religious movement in the Edo period.
They fought for their rights and flourished. I think they combined their belief with Mt.Fuji mythology. Their belief was that women and men switch their roles. So women work and men take care of babies.
Amino Yoshihiko, a prominent Japanese history scholar, said that women in the Kanto Plain became stronger at the time of silk export demands. He specifically pointed to Joshu (Gunma prefecture). That's where my grand mother was born on my mother's side. In silk productions, women excelled in those days, so I guess quite many became economically independent.
I uploaded my grandmother's wedding photo before, and in it, the most powerful woman of the family appeared next to my great grandfather. I think she was the CEO of their business. She surely doesn't look like a subservient, helpless woman. I wanted to paste the link here, but right now I can't find it.
Although my grandmother wasn't a strong enough woman to survive, but I'm glad there were some strong women in my family. I think both kinds of women in me drives me to write.

What you have discovered amongst your female ancestors, Keiko, is, the reality that intelligent, strong, powerful women do not often receive acknowledgement by historians of the true level of the contributions they made to the development and knowledge in our societies.
Sure, there is Marie Curie, there was a 19th century Chinese Empress who set the modernisation of China in train, We have a couple of Queens in English history who have been accorded respectful and powerful records; Beatrix Potter is known for her children's stories and books, her drawings of the natural environment that she observed, her discoveries of plant development, were totally ignored by the important scientific societies of the time, because she was a woman. Potter's findings waited for a man to 'discover' them much later. Classical music is another area where female talent was suppressed.
Let's hope there will be equal acceptance of the abilities of both genders in their own right. Education is the key.

Yes, I completely agree with you, ZACL. Education is the key. All prejudices come from ignorance.

Two European Parliament committees that adopted a draft report on public country-by-country reporting (CbCR) have received heavy criticism over a proposed 'loophole' that will allow MNEs to not publically disclose "commercially-sensitive" information.

26 Oct 2017 - SUA cross country pret pour cette fin de semaine
(traduction a venir) This Saturday, Acadia University will be hosting the fastest runners of the Atlantic Canadian varsity circuit this Saturday, October 28th at the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) cross-country championship. The competition promises to entertain on both the men's and women's side, as observers will rarely have seen such parity within the conference. Start time for the varsity women is scheduled for 12:00 pm, while the men will be toeing the line at 12:45 pm.
On the ladies' side, the Dalhousie Tigers are the front-runners. Lead by 2016 national cross-country junior champion and AUS rookie Savanna Jordan, and senior runner and perennial team cornerstone Michelle Reddy, the Rich Lehman-coached ladies are ready to pounce. They finished 3rd overall at the Laval Rouge et Or Invitational, and first among AUS teams. Last year, they were crowned AUS champions, placing their entire scoring squad in the conference top ten. This year, however, they do not anticipate a win to come as easily. The St. FX X-Women, lead by veteran runner Liz MacDonald and Junior Catherine Thompson, as well as the Acadia Axewomen, will be closely chasing. They recently took top team honours at their home meet at St. FX University, while the Tigers rested their legs. The Axewomen, last year's bronze medal winners, are lead by New Brunswick native Katie Robinson. The runner from Saint John was the individual victor in the X-Women-dominated race in Antigonish on October 14th.
Also ready to make an impact are two runners from New Brunswick, Carol-Ann MacDonald and Kamylle Frenette, both competing with Université de Moncton. MacDonald snagged bronze at the SMU/Dal invitational, after being Reddy's runner up in UNB/STU invitational, a week prior. Frenette placed 12th in Halifax, and followed it up with a 46th place finish at the Laval Rouge et Or Invitational, a race in which Carol-Ann placed 13th overall. Lead by these two ladies, les Aigles Bleues will try to improve on their fourth place finish from last year.
On the men's side, a heated battle is expected. Lee Wesselius of River Glade, NB, leads the young University of Prince Edward Island Panthers team to what will only be their second AUS championship. He comes into the competition with a 9th place finish at the Laval Rouge et Or Invitational, a race in which he was the 4thAUS runner to cross the line. Though he is vying for the title of individual champion, he will be challenged by the likes of Cal DeWolfe of Dalhousie, and Alex Neuffer and Angus Rawling of St. FX. DeWolfe is the defending AUS cross-country champion, and edged Wesselius by one second in Laval. Rawling took topspot at the SMU/Dal open and the St. FX Invitational, while Neuffer mounted the podium's highest echelon at the UNB/STU Invitational, early in the season. Having all run for St. FX in 2015-2016, the four runners are well acquainted with each other, and the battle for supremacy will be fierce.
Lead by Wesselius, New Brunswick is once again well represented at this championship on the men's front. Michael Colford, a sophomore runner, is the leader of University of New Brunswick's young team. He had finished only six seconds behind Wesselius at the UNB/STU meet, on route to a 4th place finish. He was 22ndat the Laval Rouge et Or Invitational.
Angus MacIntosh of Riverview, NB is poised to play a key role in Dalhousie's hunt for the team title. Last year's ninth place finisher is rounding into form after battling injury. The 3000 metre steeplechase specialist finished in 31st place at the Laval Rouge et Or Invitational, and is rounding into form just in time for the championship races. Trying to challenge MacIntosh will be fellow steeplechaser Bryan Thomas, of Université de Moncton. The Bathurst, NB native was 66th in Laval, and had been 17th at the SMU/Dal Invitational.
The St. Francis Xavier X-Men will be vying for a seventh straight conference title in coach Bernie Chisholm's final season as bench boss, but they will have their hands full with Dalhousie's veteran team. UNB will try to sneak on the podium, and improve from their 5th place finish from last year, while Université de Moncton will try to defend their 2016 bronze medal.
The top runners from these races will compete in the U Sports (formerly Canadian Interuniversity Sport) Cross-Country Championships, which will be taking place in Victoria, British Columbia on November 12th.
