- Selvstyrende region: Andalusien
- Provins/Ø: Sevilla
Sevilla, der ligger ved bredden af floden Guadalquivir, er velsignet med en rig arabisk kulturarv. Den andalusiske regionshovedstad har også nydt godt af sin fortid som en blomstrende handelshavn med trafik til Syd- og Mellemamerika. Alle gader og pladser i Sevillas historiske bykerne summer af liv og travlhed. I den gamle bydel finder man en interessant række af bygningsværker, der er udnævnt til verdenskulturarv, og kvarterer med en ægte folkelig atmosfære såsom Triana og La Macarena. Sevilla er et fremtrædende handels- og servicecenter for den sydlige del af Den Iberiske Halvø. Byens varierede udbud af overnatningsmuligheder, der fordeler sig på kryds og tværs af bykernen, giver mulighed for at opdage de talrige seværdigheder. Museer og kunstcentrer, temaparker, biografer, teatre og diskoteker er blot nogle af de uendelige muligheder for adspredelse, der findes i en storby som Sevilla. Man må heller ikke glemme de mange udendørs caféer, barer og pubber, hvor man kan dyrke en af byens ældste og mest velsmagende skikke: at spise tapas.
En anden god undskyldning for at besøge Sevilla er byens fester. Påsken og byfesten, Feria de Abril, der er erklæret for at være af international turistmæssig interesse, afspejler indbyggernes katolske tro og den lokale folklore. Sevillanerne er altid åbne og imødekommende over for gæster. Men Sevilla er meget mere, for byen er også et godt udgangspunkt for at rejse rundt i hele provinsen ved at følge forskellige kulturelle ruter, såsom Bética Romana-ruten eller Washington Irving-ruten. Man kan også opleve den enorme naturrigdom i denne region, hvor man finder naturskønne områder såsom Doñana naturpark, der er udnævnt til verdenskulturarv og biosfærereservat af UNESCO, og Sierra Norte naturpark. Det er perfekte steder til at dyrke alle former for friluftssport herunder bjergvandring, ridning eller cykling. Men hvis man vil dyrke golf, ligger der over fire fremragende goflbaner i udkanten af Sevilla.

Sevilla Til dig
A blend of art traditions
Many civilisations have come and gone in the city of Seville. The Tartessians founded Hispalis, and the Romans built the famous Itálica next to it in 207 BC.
Founded by General Scipio, two Roman emperors were born there: Trajan and Adrian. The long presence of the Moors, from 711 to 1248 AD, left permanent imprints on the city. The end of the Caliphate of Cordoba (11th century) brought about the splendour of the Taifa Kingdom of Seville, especially under the reign of al-Mutamid, the poet king. The years of highest splendour in Seville happened after the discovery of America. During the 16th and 17th century its port was one of the most important in Spain, because it had the monopoly of the foreign trade by sea. Thanks to the trade carried out during that period in Seville, many mansions, stately homes, churches and convents were built. The main monuments in town - the cathedral, the Reales Alcázares Palace and the General Archive of the Indies - have the UNESCO World Heritage designation. The Gothic cathedral stands in the white-washed Santa Cruz neighbourhood, built on the Almohad Great Mosque of Seville. Some of the Moorish elements still remain - the old minaret, which is the famous Giralda, and the Orange Tree Courtyard. Next to the cathedral you can find the Reales Alcázares Palace, which is also built on the site of a 9th-century Moorish fortress, but it was Pedro I the Cruel (14th century) who introduced the Mudejar decoration. Many rooms, magnificent halls and romantic courtyards are enclosed behind the walls. Vast gardens, with Moorish and Renaissance elements, surround the building. The other monument, the General Archive of the Indies takes us to Spanish Renaissance art. It is one of Europe's most important document centres relating to the conquest of the New World. Another important Renaissance construction in the city is the Casa de Pilatos house, a palace which combines Gothic and Mudejar elements with imported Italian Renaissance details.
Sevilla cultural
We can also approach the baroque façade of the Royal Tobacco Factory, now the University, the San Telmo Palace, the María Luisa Park, or Plaza de EspañaAround here there are many interesting buildings, part of the Hispanic-American Exhibition that took place in Seville in 1929. On the banks of the Guadalquivir we find the Torre del Oro, of Arab origin, which dates back to the 13th century and was part of the ancient walls. Because of its close relationship to the maritime history of Seville, this tower was chosen to house the Navy Museum.Its silhouette marks the entrance to Arenal, a bullfighting district par excellence. One of the most emblematic bullrings in Spain is located here: the one belonging to the Real Maestranza de Caballería. Seville's city centre leads us into the best-known streets, like Sierpes or Campana; and to numerous churches, hospitals, Renaissance palaces and Baroque buildings. In addition, the district of La Macarena holds landmarks like the Alameda de Hércules, the old Hospital de Las Cinco Llagas (now housing the Parliament of Andalusia), the Basilica of La Macarena, and the Church of San Lorenzo. The last two guard the most cherished religious images of Seville: La Virgen de la Esperanza (the Virgin of Hope), and the Jesús del Gran Poder (Jesus Almighty), carvings venerated during the Holy Week processions. Another one of the truly authentic districts of the city is Triana, on the other side of the river. Its old seagoing tradition is evident in Calles Pureza, Betis, and Alfarería, as well as in the Plaza del Altozano. The Parish of Santa Ana, and the Chapel of the Cristo de la Expiración, were they worship the Cristo del Cachorro are surrounded by colourful houses and reminders of the 19th century. The Island of Cartuja is located on this side of the river, where the architectural legacy left by the 1992 World Exhibition meets the monumental site of the Carthusian monastery and the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Art. A walk around Seville will take us to a number of museums, like the Fine Arts Museum, one of the most important of its kind in Spain. Located in the 18th century Convent of La Merced, it has works by El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, and Valdés Leal and an outstanding collection of paintings by Murillo, located in the convent's chapel. In addition, the Cathedral Museum exhibits priceless collections of precious metalwork, paintings, reliquaries, jewels and religious vestments. Another important museum is the Provincial Archaeological Museum, which has a collection of Roman artefacts that were found in the nearby city of Italica, as well as the Tartessian Carambolo treasure, and other oriental pieces. To complete your experience of the Roman World, visit the no less important collection under the care of Condesa de Lebrija House-Museum. However, if the traveller has enough time, an "in situ" visit to the Italica Archaeological Site, which includes the amphitheatre and the Hadrian district, with Roman mosaics and sculptures. The Museum of Popular Arts and Customs, which has a peculiar collection of antique clothing, lathes and horse-drawn flour mills, as well as popular furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, should not be forgotten. The attractive cultural panorama of Seville also includes other centres and art galleries, like the Bullfighting Museum, the Focus Foundation, and the Monastery of San Clemente Exhibition Hall.

A natural paradise on the banks of the Guadalquivir River
The entire province of Seville and a whole range of nature areas are within easy reach of Andalusia's capital city. A group of unique ecosystems can be found between the provinces of Huelva and Seville where the Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Marshes, dunes and reserves are the most typical landscapes in the Doñana National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. This is a place to marvel at the ecological richness of the landscape, but also a place for hunting, climbing, fishing and water sports. The cultural offer includes Aracena, in Huelva, with its castle and the Las Maravillas grotto. To the north of the province you can find the Sierra Norte Nature Reserve, and its most emblematic town, Cazalla de la Sierra. The Dehesas de Sierra Morena, along the northern mountain ranges in the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cordoba, have been declared a Biosphere Reserve. Back in the city, the Guadalquivir River is the perfect setting for a range of water sports like sailing or kayaking. People in Seville are passionate about football. There are two historical teams in the Spanish premier league –Sevilla FC and Real Betis Balompié– which gather thousands of fans every weekend at the stadiums. And if you want to improve your par, Seville has the best climate all year round to practise golf on any of the courses around the city.
A real treat for the palate
The best place to taste the typical food in Seville is probably in the bars in the historic quarter and in the districts of Triana and La Macarena, where you can enjoy a range of delicious tapas. There is a wide variety of tapas available, but whatever you choose, we recommend washing it down with a cold beer, or "fino" or "manzanilla" sherry. When you order tapas, we suggest ordering a range of flavours, to try as many as possible. Typical tapas are made of cured meats (Iberian ham, Iberian cured pork sausage...), seasoned food (olives, papas aliñás - seasoned potatoes, garlic prawns…), fried fish (anchovies, marinated dogfish, puntillitas - small squid…), montaditos (small toasted sandwiches), potato omelette and kebabs. And if you go to Seville in the hottest months, don't forget to ask for gazpacho (cold soup, made mainly with tomatoes), which is very tasty and refreshing.
For young people
Leisure alternatives for everybody
Seville is a high-spirited and lively city, which is why it connects so perfectly with young people.
There are a number of cultural activities aimed at young people. Examples include the Territorios Sevilla festival and the Festival of Nations, where you'll find traditional ethnic music, a spirit of solidarity and a wide range of multi-cultural activities. Throughout the year, some of the top national and international singers and bands appear on the city's most emblematic stages: La Cartuja Auditorium and El Palenque. The theatre offer features events staged at the Sala Imperdible by young actors from independent companies, and the Teatro Central theatre is a venue known for its innovative and groundbreaking plays. Seville's status as a major city means that every weekend all the latest films to be released in Spain can be seen in its cinemas. The capital has a large number of cinemas, many of which are located inside shopping centres. Don't miss one of the best leisure options in Seville –the Isla Mágica theme park. The exceptional atmosphere, rides and live performances are all a guarantee of an unforgettable experience. If you want to sample Seville's nightlife, you'll be spoilt for choice. The Santa Cruz neighbourhood and the Calle Argote de Molina are the ideal places for enjoying the evening's first drink.
The bustle continues to Calle Betis and La Alfalfa, with plenty of bars and nightclubs. To dance the night away, go to the areas where the streets Marqués de Paradas, Julio César, and Adriano are located, near the old Plaza de Armas station. If visiting the city in summer time, you are strongly recommended to frequent the many restaurant and bar terraces set up along the banks of the river. Young people will enjoy easy access to public transport by purchasing a Bonobús Joven, which provides discounts on city buses, or otherwise the Tarjeta Studio, good for suburban trains.
With children
A number of options for children to have fun
Seville offers a whole range of possibilities for children.
The best place for children to have a great time in Seville is without question the Isla Mágica theme park. This park on the La Cartuja island will take you back to the time of the discovery of America, and has numerous rides, live performances and multimedia shows in the central lake. The cultural programme caters for children. In May, the Alameda Municipal Theatre organises the Puppet Festival, as well as plays for children. The numerous cinemas to be found in different parts of the city offer morning screenings and include the latest releases for all the family. A refreshing option in summer is the Aquópolis Sevilla water park. The water park has amazing slides, several pools and other attractions such as go-karting and an animal display. A great way to explore the city with children is through the initiative entitled "Adventures with the family". These four routes feature the fun and friendly Giráldez Family, who visit different parts of the city based on a different theme each time: Hidden Seville, Green Seville, Seville of Myths and Legends, and Fun Seville. More information on the Facebook profile: www.facebook.com/FamiliaGiraldez. The city also offers a whole range of other activities such as bicycle routes, kayaking and canoeing on the river, visiting parks, browsing in toyshops… Just outside the capital in the town of Guillena you'll find Mundo-Park, a site that is home to a botanical garden, a zoo and an amusement park. There are a number of attractions in the province of Seville that encourage children to learn about fauna and nature. These include the Carmona Zoo, an educational park where many species of birds and mammals live; the Trance de Aragón Animal Reserve in Utrera, which has a wide variety of species from the area and other parts of the world; the Cañada de los Pájaros Private Nature Reserve in La Puebla del Río; and El Castillo de las Guardas Nature Reserve, with exotic birds that live in semi-freedom.
Craft products such as ceramics, lace, shawls and fans, foodstuffs, fashion clothes, jewellery, gifts and antiques are just a few of things you will find in the shops of Seville. Traditional establishments stand side by side with new franchises, shopping centres and the latest fashions, thus giving a wide range of different shopping possibilities to the visitor to the capital of Andalusia.
Seville has everything for the shopper from craftwork and souvenirs to sophisticated fashion all sold in its many shops, workshops, shopping centres and street markets. There are three main shopping areas: the old quarter, Triana and Nervión.

A city open to professional tourism
Over one hundred congresses, exhibitions and other events each year endorse Seville as one of the primary destinations for business tourism in Spain.
The city's excellent transport connections include a modern international airport located just a few kilometres outside the centre, and the station for the AVE high-speed train which links to Madrid in little over two hours of travel time. All this is complemented by an extensive road network of motorways and dual carriageways which make Seville easy to reach from any point on the peninsula. The refurbished Seville Exhibition and Conference Centre, FIBES, is a social meeting point distinguished by its large-scale light-filled design and its multifunctional capacity and sustainability. It comprises three modules: a covered walkway of 3000 m² which joins the existing building with the new one; a multifunction building with a restaurant area of over 2000 m², a 2500 m² exhibition zone and a registration area of almost 700 m²; an auditorium seating 3,557 people at full capacity with a stage measuring 670 m² and a stage opening of 23 metres, which offers a wide range of possibilities for all types of meetings and congress events, in addition to musical productions and large-scale shows. It also has numerous multifunction rooms. Seville's hotel capacity is beyond any doubt, as it has almost 10,000 hotel beds distributed among five and four-star hotels, and around 3,500 places in three star hotels. Its distinctive accommodation options include the Alfonso XIII hotel, located in a neo-Mudéjar building, and the Casas de la Judería hotel in the centre of the old Jewish quarter, in what was once the house of the Duke of Béjar.
On the outskirts of Seville, there are three specially significant hotels: The Hacienda Benazuza (Benazuza Country Estate), in Sanlúcar la Mayor; the Casa de Carmona Hotel; and the Parador Alcázar del Rey Don Pedro, in Carmona.

As of 30 October, N24 is airing the new Engel & Völkers TV show "Faszination Wohnen – Engel & Völkers exklusiv " every Friday at 2:30 pm. The show is being presented by Natascha Israel, Senior Online Marketing Manager, who also accompanied the film crew to the various shooting locations. We spoke with her about the background of the TV show and her experiences on site.
What is the purpose of the new TV show?
The new TV show offers our license partners the opportunity to, for the first time, present exclusive real estate in the media with a large area of coverage. This media format addresses our main target audience as well as the wider public, who can enjoy insider views of some truly remarkable real estate from around the world.
What was the biggest challenge during the shooting?
The biggest challenge was definitely the weather and the tight schedule. In other words, things that were mostly beyond our control. You need sunny weather and blue skies to make great-looking outdoor shots of real estate, and drones don't fly in strong winds and rain. We increased our chances of having good weather by filming in summer and autumn. When the weather was bad, we waited for the sun to come out again, at least for a while, to take the outdoor shots – and we were lucky most of the time. The weather along the Cote d'Azur was pretty dramatic when we landed. We arrived on a Sunday and the whole of the Cote d'Azur was flooded after a storm. Antibes, the town where our hotel was located, was particularly hard-hit. In three hours, the French Riviera had seen as much rain as normally falls in two entire months on average. So the team had to improvise: Everything – the hotel, the accommodation, the shooting – seemed to be descending into chaos. But in the end everything worked out, fortunately.
Do you have a personal favourite? Which property did you like most?
The properties were all quite stunning, but also very different – it would be impossible for me to pick one! But there were a few where I would have felt comfortable staying. We were all inspired – and brought back some concrete decor ideas for our own homes. If I would choose to build a pool now, I would know exactly what it would look like ;-).
Apart from this, it was also quite special being in the former villa of Estée Lauder and feeling her spirit. The current owners had taken over some of their famous predecessor's interior design concepts, and there were also still some old drawings, notes and pictures of the cosmetics entrepreneur.
What did you enjoy most?
What I enjoyed most was working with the team, the close interaction with our license partners and the feeling of really experiencing the international network of Engel & Völkers first-hand! Both the production and the final result reflect our core values of competence, exclusivity and passion in a very impressive visual manner.
Were there any glitches?
Well, our video drone broke down while we were shooting in Port D'Andratx (Mallorca). The camera team wanted to shoot from a certain perspective and, unfortunately, overlooked the outdoor shower – which gave us all quite a fright. Luckily, the N24 team was able to fix the damage quickly, allowing us to continue with the shooting – they are really good at what they do. In a sense, a film shooting is always quite exciting, because its success depends on many different factors: The weather must play along, the interview partners should not cancel at the last moment or become ill and the technical equipment must function properly. It is exactly this mix which makes the work exciting, and if the end result is well received, it makes it all worthwhile.

text: Hello all, I am currently trying to configure a Beowulf cluster and I'm having a strange problem. The nodes all use PXE and TFTP to acquire the kernel from the server and then commence booting. If the node has a keyboard/hard-drive/floppy-disk-drive plugged into it, then the system boots perfectly. However, if the node has none of these devices plugged in, then it crashes (screen goes blank, nic light goes out). When exactly the node crashes is not consistent, however it always occurs after the kernel has been transfered and before the login screen appears. I have tried debugging the problem with no success. I first thought that the node was trying to log the 'no keyboard error' to a local disk, for some reason. But ruled that out when I saw the problem still occurred when a floppy-drive was present (with no floppy in the drive). I have already tried several different kernels with various settings (v2.4.20-31.9, v2.4.24, v2.2.26) and the exact same problem remains. I have stepped through the startup file and found nothing which should cause such an issue. The nodes are P4 2.5 Ghz, 512 mb RAM, Intel D845GERG2 motherboards. There are 64 of them and all of them are diskless. I would rather not try to resolve this issue by 'buying 64 keyboards'. Any help/suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -Phil Smith

Casshern (HK - DVD R3)
DDDHouse.com supplies the barebones Hong Kong release of this beautiful looking film...
This review is sponsored by
One of the loudest complaints voiced concerning George Lucas' Star Wars Prequel Trilogy was in reference to the film's sets, mainly the fact that there weren't any. Most of the backgrounds and secondary characters were created entirely in Industrial Light and Magic's computers. On the other hand, the recently released Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was praised for its ingenuity, when it did basically the exact same thing. There is no accounting for double standards in the wide universe of film criticism, but I digress. Japan has now supplied us with its answer to the new blue screen set school of filmmaking, Casshern.
Normally, I like to begin my review with a stripped down plot synopsis. It seems an organic way to bring a reader into my personal musings, and it's the way most critics choose to begin. Who am I to deter from such a tried and true formula? Unfortunately, I cannot find an easy way to say anything about Casshern in an organic way. The film itself is very much not organic, in its storytelling, filming, direction, nor acting. Basically it is a collage of detached images and ideas, not a mainstream film. When experimental films infiltrate the mainstream in the guise of a clever ad campaign, I normally applaud it. This is why, despite what I'd heard, I was truly looking forward to seeing this movie. As I write, I feel as if I have no right to complain about lack of cohesive story or character development. My personal favourite filmmaker is probably Dario Argento, and no one ever accused him of making any narrative sense. But unlike Argento, who often ignores narrative flow and crater-sized plot holes in favour of spectacular murder set pieces, writer/director Kazuaki Kiriya has made a complex film that defies its own narrative flow, and runs an epic 142 minutes. Time is relative.
Casshern reels out almost fifty minutes of exposition before its proper storyline even begins, but I'll do my best to sum it up in an economical fashion. Basically, a giant, intercontinental war is coming to an end. The winning nation, Eurasia (echoes of Orwell's 1984 perhaps), is attempting to deal with the world's brand new, post-war pollution problems. It seems the CG rats are growing CG eyeballs on their backs. Then there is the problem of mopping up the remaining insurgence, even though there has been an officially announced end to major combat (hmmm…). The government's focus has recently been aimed at the laboratories of Dr. Azuma, who is researching cell regeneration. Azuma is interested in cell regeneration because his wife is dying. The powers that be have military uses in mind, they always do. Azuma toils away in his massive CG lab, which overlooks a massive CG pit filled with red liquid (blood?) and little CG body parts.
It is then revealed that Azuma's son, Tetsuya, has died in combat. His death causes a quick ripple of sorrow through his loved ones. The body is placed outside Azuma's lab. Suddenly, out of nowhere, with no explanation, there is a freak accident and all Azuma's spare parts regenerate and become fully functional, re-animated people. These neo-sapiens scare officials and are shot on site. During the bloody chaos, only three escape. In reaction Dr. Azuma naturally takes his son's body, which was conveniently placed outside moments before, and dips it into the red liquid. Against his ghost's (?) wishes, Tetsuya is also re-animated, though for some reason physically weaker than the other neo-sapiens. Are you still with me? Good. Azuma hands his undead son to a friend who has been working on a kind of super-suit, which he puts Tetsuya into for (most convenient) safekeeping. The three surviving neo-sapiens wander into a giant-killer-robot factory (!), and decide they must declare war on the humans that slaughtered their kind. Then, an undisclosed amount of time passes (days, months, years, we never know).
The rest of the movie consists of Tetsuya and the neo-sapiens battling each other to no end, while discovering the meaning of life in the universe. The moral? War is pointless and bad, and nobody wins. Most people could have said that in three seconds flat, but Casshern takes its sweet time. The time issue hurts the film, but not as much as its editing issue. A timeframe is never appropriately explained. There is a lot of sloppy crosscutting between events. When Tetsuya's death is revealed, it is unclear whether it is a flashback or a current event. The re-animation of the neo-sapiens and their subsequent destruction is positively jarring is its randomness. Quick cutting, coupled with constant timeline jumping can make for interesting work, but in this case they create more confusion in an already confusing film. It's as if the film is improperly loaded in the projector and the soundtrack is skipping on the record needle. The editing also cripples the otherwise serviceable fight sequences. Everything is chopped into a meaningless jumble of images. There is never an appropriate establishing shot in which to gage the scale of a battle, and one confrontation is skipped all together.
Casshern rich with beautiful imagery, and is a very visually striking work. In the opening sequence the camera floats down from the sky, through a sort of two-dimensional montage of the city creates an intriguingly artificial atmosphere and conjures comparisons to Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Other images in Casshern recall other Metropolis inspired films like Alex Proyas' Dark City, Terry Gilliam's Brazil, and Jeunet and Caro's City of Lost Children. There are hints at World War II era Soviet and Nazi propaganda and the Art Deco movement. This places the film in an alternate reality where the old is once again the new. Then Kiriya employs the officially overused multiple film styles technique and screws it all up. Every trick in the digital-post-production handbook is smeared across the screen and it all makes for a very pretty mess. The abrupt changes in style could arguably be attributed to the personal growth and emotions of the characters, but really come across as a lazy excuses to look 'cool'. One of the things I personally respected about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was that it had an overall consistency.
I have to admit, however, that this DVD will find its way back into my player someday. There is too much thrill in watching what is essentially a live action Anime film (the story is based on a Japanese animated series), complete with giant robots, atomic bombs, and overtly powerful humans destroying everything in their path. The good bits tend to be too few and too far between, but all together worth the effort. And boy, oh boy is it a pretty movie. Next time, I will employ the services of the 'skip' and 'fast forward' buttons on my remote, and do a little editing of my own.
Casshern is a movie that is hard to gage in its actual video quality. How much post-production work was done by the filmmakers? There is an insane amount of grain in some scenes, and virtually none in others. This grain often appears purposeful, but occasionally looks like a transfer issue. Some backgrounds and some of the obviously computer generated characters can be on the muddy side. Whether this is because of inaccurate DVD authoring, or because of sub-par digital effects is a mystery to me. There is a problem with general digital noise throughout the film, which I'm pretty sure is a compression issue. I'm going to guess that most of these issues are truly problems, and if I'm wrong, then I suppose poor filmmaking can affect a DVD's video score.
Casshern is presented in its original Japanese language on two tracks, one Dolby Digital 5.1, the other DTS. Again, I am mostly referencing the Dolby Digital track (I have my reasons), but will say the DTS track is slightly cleaner. In any case, Casshern sounds wonderful. Everything is well spaced, the dialogue is clear, the bass throbs, and when necessary everything becomes quite subtle and elegant. During one sequence, the front channels focus almost entirely on an important conversation, while the rear channels successfully convey the oodles of destruction happening just off-screen, behind the viewer. Casshern utilizes the rear channels more effectively than most DVDs on the market.
There are plenty of films that I have personally struggled to understand, whether it be interpretive reasons, or because I just couldn't follow the plot. One of the great things about DVD is the possibility of an explanatory audio track. Artsmagic regularly employs the encyclopaedic knowledge of Tom Mes to help explain Japanese films to a receptive Western audience. Criterion often supplies a track with an intelligent critic or historian, and I've utilized them several times to help me through some of their more 'challenging' releases. I really could have used one of these 'help tracks' for Casshern. Unfortunately, this is a really barebones release. There is a photo gallery (really just a small collection of still frames from the movie) and some sparse filmographies of a few of the major actors.
Casshern is like Monty Python's Flying Circus Some people will get it, some people will not. Some will call it brilliant, others will call it daft. Some will probably even develop an unhealthy obsession with it, while others will turn it off before it ends. How can I truly despise that which creates such opposition? This is what art, and filmmaking should be about. Unfortunately, in the end Casshern is both overlong and a missed opportunity. Bottom line: if you're still curious, give it a rent.
You can buy this title for HK $93.00 from top retailer DDDHouse.

Intel has announced a new line of ultra-small solid-state drives (SSD), the SSD 310, which delivers the same performance as its regular X25 series-class SSD but in one-eighth the size.
Measuring 51mm by 30mm and 5mm thick, and weighing just 10 grams, the new compact SSD series enables accelerated performance in dual-drive systems when paired with larger-capacity hard drives.
The Intel SSD 310 also supports SATA signals over a PCI Express (PCIe) mini-connector for on-board, compact storage in single-drive netbooks, tablets or handheld devices.
"The Intel SSD 310 series will allow us to provide the advantages of a full-performance Intel SSD paired with the storage of a hard disk drive in a small, dual-drive system," said Tom Butler, director of ThinkPad product marketing, Lenovo. "We've offered Intel SSD solutions for our highly innovative Lenovo ThinkPad laptops for some time, and now we're looking forward to incorporating this new solution across our ThinkPad line."
"In order to meet the rigorous demands of our mobile users, we design for mission-critical tasks that require connectivity and handheld mobility in all-weather operations," said Mike Sarrica, vice president and general manager for DRS Tactical Systems. "The Intel SSD 310 series fits the bill by offering a reliable and high performing memory solution."
The Intel SSD 310 series is available in capacities of 40GB and 80GB, respectively, priced at US$99 and US$179 in 1,000-unit quantities. The new drives are currently shipping to customers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Pardon Whitney Kiihnl if she appears to be a little bit distracted during Saturday's graduation ceremony.
She is thrilled to be receiving her degree in biology and she has worked hard to get it posting a 3.63 grade point average. She is graduating on time and will go to Harding University in the fall to start training as a physician's assistant.
Dressed in her cap and gown she will physically be in Allen Arena but her mind is going to be a couple of hundred yards away at Draper Diamond. Not long after she receives her diploma the senior will join her softball teammates for a doubleheader with ETSU. Kiihnl is scheduled to pitch the first game starting at 6 p.m.
"I guess I will be thinking about softball more than graduation," Kiihnl said. "You walk across the stage and it lasts about a second, but it took four years to get here. But, obviously, I will be more focused on the game."
Kiihnl, the greatest pitcher in the history of the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball program, admits it will be an emotional weekend. A large contingent of her family, from both California and Mississippi, will be in attendance for the festivities which start with Senior Day on Friday against USC Upstate.
"It is going to be an emotional day Saturday," Kiihnl said. "It will be my last day to pitch at Draper Diamond.
'I'm not really thinking about that very much right now. I guess I will think more about it in the future."
Kiihnl is third in the Atlantic Sun Conference in career strikeouts with more than 1,100 and has won 20 games in each of her last three seasons after posting 18 victories as a freshman. She was named A-Sun Freshman of the Year in 2009 and both A-Sun Player and Pitcher of the Year in 2010. This year she received the James R. Byers Award for outstanding Christian leadership and academics and athletics excellence. It is the highest honor an active Lipscomb athlete can receive.
"She is the best pitcher that has ever come through here," Lipscomb softball coach Kristin Ryman said. "Her numbers are going to speak for themselves. They are numbers that I think are going to stand up for a long time.
"I think it is hard to find a pitcher of her caliber not just someone of her caliber, but somebody of her caliber who is not so wrapped up in the big school mentality. She chose someone where she felt she would fit and she could have gone to a bigger name school."
Helping her team be a winner, including a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2010, is more important to Kiihnl than individual awards. In an athletic world where so many athletes are playing for personal glory and gain, Kiihnl is refreshingly humble.
"I am just glad that the coaches recruited me and I am glad that they didn't waste a scholarship on me," Kiihnl said. "I was glad I was able to contribute to the program."
Ryman thinks that Kiihnl's attitude made it easy for people to gravitate to her.
"She always thinks about what she could have done better that would have helped the team," Ryman said. "I think that is a great perspective to have.
"That is so unique. You don't usually see kids who immediately look at themselves first and say I could have done more or I could have been better. It is usually the other way around. She is never one to point fingers or blame anyone else."
Lipscomb proved to be an excellent fit for Kiihnl on the Christian, academic and athletic levels. Biology is one of the most demanding majors at Lipscomb and Kiihnl often had to balance her life on all levels and tried to squeeze n time for a social life and to have a more complete college experience. There were seldom times where she could just plop herself in a chair and watch television for an hour or two.
"I was thinking that Thursday was my last day to be a student-athlete," Kiihnl said. "You're taught not to think about classes when you are at practice, but Wednesday I caught myself going over test material for my Virology final.
"It is hard to focus and it is hard to be in a good mood at practice when you have so much stuff that you need to do. It is nice to have that load off so I can just concentrate on softball right now."
The college experience is designed to mold young minds and she thinks she has changed for the better.
"I am learning to have confidence in what I believe in and confidence in myself as to who I am as a person," Kiihnl said. "No one is perfect, but I want to be remembered for having a good reputation. I want to be remembered more for my character. I would rather be remembered as a person rather than a player."
Ryman is convinced that Kiihnl's legacy as a person will have more of an impact than what she did on the softball diamond.
"There are so many people that respect her for more than just the pitcher that she is," Ryman said. "She is an outstanding student in one of the toughest majors here.
"You want to be around her because she is such a good person. She always makes the right decision and puts herself in a good situation. She has put her spirituality ahead of so much and that is rare. I think that our girls who have played on the team with her, people in the athletic department and those who know her on campus will remember that aspect and the person that she is as much as they will remember her as a pitcher. That's impressive."

Phone.com has released a BlackBerry client for their cloud based phone service. The service works kind of like Google Voice but has more features and tends to be geared more at small businesses who do not have a PBX. The app lets you dial out from your virtual Phone.com number from your BlackBerry. It also gives you access to receive calls, receive/send SMS, voicemail, received faxes, connect to private conference call bridges, review calls, block calls and more through that virtual number.
Phone.com Mobile Office for Blackberry is a free add-on (OS 4.6+) for their service which starts as low as $4.88 a month.
While some of the features offered may benefit the mobile professional, many BlackBerry users get several of these features using other 3rd party software apps. If you try this service, let others know what you think in our forums.

Pema Rigdzin wrote:Umm, many other humans have become Buddhas. Even according to the Pali Cannon Buddha Shakyamuni was the 4th Buddha of this world system. Then Mahayana talks of many, many Buddhas and details their lives as humans on the path prior to attaining Buddhahood.LastLegend wrote:So far no other human have become Buddha. So Buddha was Buddha and was here to teach. Part of the enactment.
That's my reasoning.
Take the female Buddha Tara for instance, who as the practitioner Jnana Chandra/Yeshe Dawa/Wisdom Moon vowed to attain Buddhahood in a human female form and to always manifest in female form to make evident to women that their Buddha nature and potential to realize enlightenment is in no way inferior to that of men. Or consider the Licchavi Vimalakirti. In the Vimalakirti Nirdesha sutra the Buddha himself told Manjushri and other Bodhisattvas that Vimalakirti was every bit as enlightened as he was. These are just two easy examples.
Tashi delek,
In addition to your reply, there are also Buddhas on earth who were straight emantions from a Samboghakaya form.
They did not "became Buddha" but showed by their practical live examples the different related paths.
Some of us have sure some examples from those emanations.
I have sometimes a problem with the emanation Tulku in the form of an emation of for instance Djampal Djang / Manjushri.
But that is what we already have discussed in all colours.
But a Sambhogakaya emanation that is mostly a Buddha or one who shows to become a Buddha done by the so called self liberation etc., all in all very clear to me.
Maybe are there more ways to meet Buddhas on earth?
Best wishes

Chief Oscola Clayton Sylestine, the principal chief of the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribe of Texas, succumbed to illness and passed away Thursday, Jan. 31. He will lie in state at the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation, 17 miles east of Livingston, when all arrangements have been completed. He was 80 years old.
He was elected in 1992 and installed in a colorful traditional ceremony as the lifetime chief on Jan. 1, 1993. He was a third-generation descendant of Alabama Sub-Chief Colabe. He is survived by his wife, Ethelyn, two sons and two daughters, and numerous grandchildren.
He served the tribe in leadership for most of his adult life as an elected member of the Tribal Council serving as its chairman before becoming chief. He was also very active as an elder in the Indian Presbyterian Church. After a 17-year career with Champion International Paper, he retired in 1998.
His love for the culture of the tribe was evident as he gathered river cane from the river bottoms, splitting the cane and applying the intricate basket weaving methods passed down for generations. He passed on his skills by conducting basket-weaving classes in his later years.
He was a great warrior on the basketball court and softball diamond. He excelled in basketball while attending Big Sandy School. During the height of independent fast pitch softball leagues in East Texas, he was affectionately known as "Smiley." The mention of his name as the pitcher brought uneasiness to opponents who had to challenge his rising fastball. He was a premier fast pitch softball pitcher of his generation.
In speaking on behalf of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe, Tribal Council Chairman Kyle Williams said, "This truly is a sad occasion and day, not only for our tribe but for all tribal nations, the citizens of both the state of Texas and this great nation. Chief Oscola actively represented the tribe at numerous cultural and social events while promoting a better understanding of the tribe's rich history and heritage."

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny is to raise the plight of undocumented illegal immigrants when he meets President Obama on Tuesday.
He will also discuss it with congressional leaders from both the Republican and Democratic parties.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that long time Republican undocumented opponent Senator Rand Paul will now come out in favor of comprehensive reform.
His move and the work of a bipartisan group of senators on a comprehensive bill, means that prospects are brighter than for many years on the issue.
Kenny will also present a bowl of shamrock to the President at the White House to mark the official St Patrick's Day celebrations in Washington.
In a tradition going back to 1952, the shamrock ceremony will be held in public. Up to 300 Irish American leaders will be at the White House for the annual St.Patrick's party.
However, President Obama will cut short his usual time at the event to fly to Israel and the Middle East.
Vice President Joe Biden is in Rome at the inaugural mass for Pope Francis 1 and will also not be in attendance but will have breakfast with Irish leader Kenny on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Kenny and Obama will then speak privately about the plight of the 50,000 illegal Irish immigrants in the US.
The EU-US trade agreement currently under discussion and its potential to create jobs in Ireland will also be on the agenda as well as the Irish economy.
Kenny and his deputy Eamon Gilmore will then travel to Capitol Hill for the traditional St Patrick's Day lunch.
Meetings to be held later in the day with senior US politicians include a sit-down with former Republican presidential candidate John McCain and Democratic senators Pat Leahy and Chuck Schumer.
The undocumented Irish will be the main topic of discussion at these meetings.
Kenny has already pitched a confident message of Ireland's prospects for growth over the coming years according to the Irish Times report.
He said: "The Irish people have given the Government a resounding mandate to make difficult decisions and help rescue the economy."
Labor Party leader Gilmore told the paper that he was more concerned about getting the country 'back on its feet economically' despite recent poor showings for his party in opinion polls.
He said: "We are not going to flinch from this task. The government is two years into a five-year term and plans to stay the course to get the country through its biggest economic crisis since the foundation of the state."
Gilmore added that the St Patrick's Day visits to the US and other parts of the world were part of this plan.
He added: "Government ministers are here to try to encourage investment, trade and exports, and to secure and create Irish jobs."

Boughton: Gun-control group 'left me'
The divorce between the mayor of Connecticut's seventh-largest city -- whose constituents included victims of the Newtown school massacre -- and Michael Bloomberg's $50 million lobbying machine against the National Rifle Association is getting messy.
The group formerly known as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which rebranded itself Wednesday under the name Everytown for Gun Safety, said it was blindsided last week when Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, a Republican candidate for governor, dropped out of its coalition.
Not once in the 14 months since Boughton joined the group in February 2013 did the mayor voice his objections to its agenda, Erika Soto Lamb, a spokeswoman for the gun-control advocacy coalition, told Hearst Connecticut Media.
"It feels like sort of politics to us," Lamb said. "We've never heard from him to say, `I don't agree with that.' "
Boughton denied that he is trying to boost his stock with gun owners, perceived by some as a key to the GOP nomination, by renouncing his ties to the 1,000-mayor coalition.
"I didn't leave (them). They left me," Boughton said.
Since signing a statement of principles, which support universal background checks and efforts to combat the trafficking of illegal guns, Boughton said the coalition's agenda has moved away from enforcement in favor of increased restrictions on guns.
"For me, I'm not comfortable about signing my name to a blank check," Boughton said.
The strongest reaction to Boughton severing his ties with the group came last week from Erica Lafferty, an outreach coordinator for the coalition and the daughter of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung.
"My mom and my family have strong ties to Danbury -- it was where my mother held her first school administration job and I know it is a place that was dear to her heart," Lafferty told Hearst at the time. "That's why I feel betrayed to learn that Mayor Boughton is putting his personal political ambitions ahead of the safety of Connecticut families. In fact, the tag line for his campaign is `People over Politics' -- but the only people that this decision serves are gun lobbyists."
The controversy over Boughton's association with the group, founded by Bloomberg in 2006, comes amid a rebranding initiative and a pledge by the former New York City mayor to invest $50 million in the coalition.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a 12,000-member Second Amendment group that has vowed to be a player in the midterm elections, declined to comment on Boughton's status on gun control.
CCDL is appealing a federal judge's decision to uphold Connecticut's toughest-in-the-nation gun law, which was precipitated by the Dec. 14, 2012, slaying of 20 children and six educators in Newtown. The law cracks down on assault weapons and high-capacity gun magazines. The gun owners group has frequently picketed at campaign events of Republicans who backed the legislation.
At the same time, the knock from Democrats on the main contenders for the GOP nomination for governor is that the Republicans are shifty and ambiguous on which gun-control measures they support and which ones they don't.
"I've been very clear to say that if the bill showed up on my desk, I would have sent it back to the Legislature for more work, specifically in the areas of mental health and school security," Boughton told Hearst this week. "I think the sportsmen out there have raised issues about the magazines. I think it's going to have to be looked at. It's unenforceable."
Boughton declined to elaborate on the specific provisions of the gun control legislation, however.
"I haven't changed my position in 14 years," said Boughton, who is Danbury's longest-serving mayor.
Of the seven most populous cities in Connecticut, Danbury is the only one whose mayor isn't on the membership list of Everytown for Gun Safety, which recently brought the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America under its umbrella. The other top-seven cities are all represented by Democrats.
Boughton's withdrawal from the coalition leaves it with 13 members overall in Connecticut, two of whom are Republicans -- East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. and North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda.
"He signed a statement of principles, which haven't changed since he joined," Lamb said of Boughton.
Boughton said it was disheartening that the coalition made no effort to retain him and chose to "broadside" him in the media.
"OK, how about picking up the phone?" Boughton said. "I've never ever, ever heard anything from them. They don't ask your opinion. They just tell you. It's very clear that they're not interested in feedback."

The Freshman Fifteen.
That's the expression that refers to the average weight gain of first-year college students.
And for many of today's overcommitted students, establishing healthier habits and fitness routines over the next three years is also a serious challenge.
Staying in shape at college and developing exercise and nutrition habits for a healthy future is the subject of a new book published by Clarkson senior Nduka Anyanwu, an engineering and management major.
FitTionary: The Beginner's Fitness and Nutrition Guide to Staying in Shape on Campus
offers information on nutrition and smart tips and strategies for eating well on campus. It also shows readers how to design and implement an exercise program specifically designed for busy students with demanding schedules.
Anyanwu is a certified personal trainer and self-proclaimed "fitness enthusiast." He is also the student manager at the Clarkson fitness center. He came up with the idea to write
from the experiences he has had on campus with students, staff and faculty.
"I've learned that many students and fitness beginners lack the fundamentals of efficient and smart training techniques," he explains. "While I was at our gym, many people would come to me seeking advice on how to train and diet properly. I realized that this was a universal problem on many campuses and I had the knowledge and opportunity to help fix it."
Before the book was published, Anyanwu was already designing workouts for and holding training sessions with faculty members and students at the
gym for a nominal fee, but he wanted to raise the awareness of not just exercising, but leading a healthy lifestyle.
He says, "For many people, gaining unwanted weight in college is a reality because lifestyles change. Teaching them how to balance school, activities and fitness will hopefully inspire them to pay attention to their health, both during and after college."
Anyanwu credits concepts he has learned at Clarkson as a driving force behind his ability to actually turn his idea into a reality. "Finding solutions to problems that really matter and developing entrepreneurial thinking are two things that Clarkson students learn and do well because they're the foundation of our education," he says.
Looking ahead, Anyanwu is optimistic that there are more books in his future. "I'm not running out of thoughts yet," he says. "I plan on writing more books on fitness, nutrition and self-help down the road."
The book is available through Amazon. Or visit the website at

Music Industry Data: Sales Up, Piracy Down... But It's Not Because Of Any 'Anti-Piracy' Efforts
from the let's-walk-this-through dept
The second report comes from one of the industry's favorite researchers, NPD, claiming a massive decline in music file sharing (based on consumer surveys). I've found NPD's data to be suspect in the past, but let's just assume this is true. Then, can we reach the conclusion that the industry's anti-piracy efforts both worked and that it led to increased sales?
Actually... no. Not even close. We can see this pretty clearly just by looking beyond the recorded music market, to the wider file sharing space. Various reports have made it clear that widespread file sharing (mostly of infringing content) has continued to grow quite rapidly during the same time period. Sandvine reports (pdf) that BitTorrent traffic increased 40% over the same basic time frame. Or, zero in on a different market beyond music. How about software? The BSA's annual report continues to show increases in "piracy."
What does that say? Well, if wider anti-piracy campaigns were effective, we wouldn't just be seeing a decline in music infringement. We'd see similar declines across the board. But the overall space and some other, similar, markets are showing increases in infringing content spreading.
That leads us to the much more reasonable hypothesis: the reason that music piracy is down and revenue is up is because the industry has finally started allowing more innovation into the market. Not surprisingly, this is exactly what we've been arguing for years. If you let the tech industry create useful new services that better provide the public with what they want, you get services and products that people are willing to pay for. And when that happens, infringement decreases, because the legitimate and authorized services are better than infringing. It's why music infringement fell off a cliff in Sweden when Spotify launched there, despite also being the home of The Pirate Bay. Notably, when music infringement plummeted in Sweden, other types of infringement did not similarly drop.
In other words, for all the complaints about these new services, and the many, many attempts to hold them back or neuter them, letting new services grow and thrive seems to be the best "anti-piracy" measure that the record labels could have used. And yet it still thinks it needs to focus on punishing fans and limiting services.

I've just started knitting a week ago, and can barely get my stitches to turn out even, but I'd love to make something cute to hold my lunches.
A few years ago, Knitty.com featured a pattern called "Brown Bag" - its a felted lunch bag, that "comfortably fits a sandwich, cupcake, juice box, and small bottle of aspirin". That might be a fun project to start with - its felted, so it won't matter if the stitches aren't all even, and you don't have to worry too much about exact sizing either. Knit it in pure wool (not superwash) and then toss it in the clothes washer to felt it! :)
It looks like a beautiful project! Sadly I don't understand half the instructions, so I might put it off until I pick up some more knitting lingo, but thanks so much for pointing it out!
I'm goblinbox on Ravelry. I need to buy some elastic yarn and knit a couple of box bands; I lost my black one to my BF!
My site: http://www.goblinbox.com
My bentos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/goblinbox/sets/72157608661768465/
I'm dorayaki there, I don't have much time to knit but I like to look. I'd love to knit a bento, I've seen origami bentos before and my kids would love it.
I'm hypothermya both here and on ravelry. :) It's funny that so many people on JustBento are also on Ravelry.

Tyler Ennis' 35-footer at buzzer keeps No. 1 Syracuse unbeaten with 58-56 win over No. 25 Pitt
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
PITTSBURGH – Seven games separate No. 1 Syracuse from an undefeated regular season. Maybe it will be a lucky seven after a buzzer-beater kept the Orange on the course to perfection.
Tyler Ennis took the inbounds pass with 4.4 seconds left and dribbled up court, weaving through Pitt's defense. He had the option of shooting or passing to Trevor Cooney.
The freshman guard decided to shoot.
It was the right decision.
Ennis made a 35-footer at the buzzer and Syracuse remained unbeaten with a 58-56 victory over No. 25 Pitt on Wednesday night.
"I saw someone ran over to Trevor and I just had to beat one guy," Ennis said. "I knew they weren't going to let Trevor get it. I just had to get some space. I knew I could get open for a second."
Pitt senior forward Talib Zanna called it a "lucky" shot. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim disagreed.
"It's a little lucky, but I didn't hear Duke saying they were lucky when they drove the length of the court and made an off-balance 3 to tie the game," Boeheim said, alluding an overtime victory for his team over the Blue Devils at the Carrier Dome on Feb. 1. "I didn't hear anybody say they were lucky. You have to do it. You have to make the play. The ball goes in. That's not luck. He took the shot and he made the shot. He didn't throw it up from half court or three-quarters court. He dribbled it up. He had a purpose. He got up in the air and took a good shot, and it went in. It happens sometimes, but he was poised to do it."
Poise under pressure is a good way to describe Syracuse this season. The Orange (24-0, 11-0 ACC) and Wichita State are the lone undefeated teams in Division I.
The road to a perfect 31-0 regular season is not easy for Syracuse, however. After home games against North Carolina State and Boston College, the Orange have three consecutive road games, including trips to No. 8 Duke and No. 17 Virginia.
Zanna, who led Pitt (20-5, 8-4) with 16 points and 14 rebounds, hit two free throws after being fouled on a layup attempt to give the Panthers a 56-55 lead before Ennis' winner.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon called a timeout after the free throws to set his defense. That also allowed Syracuse to draw up a play designed for its fearless freshman.
"We guarded it about as well as you could guard it," Dixon said. "He made about a 40-footer. We did what we were supposed to do. If we had to do it again. ... We did the right things.
"They were going to get a shot off. He made it, and he made a tough one. We knew he'd have the ball and would be the guy. We had two guys on him. He hit the shot. Our guys defended, and he hit a shot."
It was Pitt's first loss at home to a top-five team in the 12-year history of the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers had been 9-0 against top-five teams and 13-1 against teams ranked in the top 10.
C.J. Fair led Syracuse with 14 points.
Pitt had a 54-48 lead with less than 2 minutes remaining, but Fair made a 3-pointer with 1:40 to go. He then hit a jumper to make it 54-53 with 51 seconds left. After Pitt missed on the other end, Ennis made two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Orange the lead.
"C.J. hadn't hit a 3 all game. He hadn't hit the rim, and he makes a 3 and then he hits a pretty tough pull-up to give us a chance," Boeheim said. "Those were big plays and you have to be a special player to make those plays."
Pitt led 27-24 at halftime and built its lead to nine in the early stages of the second half when Lamar Patterson made a 3-pointer to make it 37-28 with 15 minutes remaining.
Syracuse stormed back with a 17-8 run and tied it on Cooney's 3-pointer with 6:53 to go, but Pitt regained control after Zanna converted a three-point play and freshman Jamel Artis sank two free throws for a 50-45 lead.
But it was all Syracuse after that. Pitt's only points in the final 1:59 came from Zanna's two free throws, and the Panthers were outscored 10-3 in the final 1:59.
Syracuse had to play without backup center Baye Moussa Keita, who sat out with a sprained knee. That forced sophomore forward Jerami Grant into duty as the backup center behind Rakeem Christmas.
Pitt had injury issues of its own. Senior forward and leading scorer Lamar Patterson had his right thumb wrapped for a second consecutive game. After going 1 for 9 in his previous outing against Virginia Tech, Patterson scored 13 points.
