vipuls needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 12 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Activepackets is a developer, publisher, and distributor of mobile games and applications. We create mobile games and applications which we then distribute through our wireless carrier partners like Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Alltel, etc. We traditionally were a game developer but now also develop a lot of productivity applications like mobile price comparison apps, web apps, etc.
1) potential partners (brands who are looking to partner with us to develop mobile applications, like Marvel Comics, American Mensa, ETC)
2) Users who have downloaded our games and applications who would come to the site to get more information and look for other titles
3) Carrier partners like Sprint for example who would just come to our site to see our catelogue.
please review existing site at http://www.activepackets.com . This site is around 5 years old and we want an update. Since we make consumer games and applications, we want a corporate site which is fun and appealing but at the same time it should look professional. We would be happy to use graphics and images of people/cartoons so we are not necessarily looking only for photographs. Actually if you can use cartoons even, like the ones on xplane.com , that is interesting as well.

Driving through the Delta, I was reminded of a thought that came to me during last spring's farm bill debate: Sen. Charles Grassley, Ken Cook and the editorial writers for the New York and Washington newspapers need to spend a day here during cotton harvest.
My drive was on a Friday, the day before another front was expected to bring more rain to the Delta. Cotton pickers were rolling through nearly white fields, racing to get cotton in the module before the weather took another toll on grades and yield.
Several fields had four and five pickers with boll buggies scurrying back and forth taking cotton to the module builders. A conservative guess would put the equipment investment in some at more than a million dollars.
That's what Grassley of the Grassley-Dorgan payment limit amendment; Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group; and the New York Times and Washington Post writers need to see — the investment that it takes to keep a modern-day farming operation operating in a fall like this.
I don't know the operators of the farms I passed on U.S. Highway 61 from Clarksdale to Tunica, Miss., but I suspect most would not be considered large farmers. Certainly, they would not be the "big, corporate farmers" that Cook has pilloried on the EWG's Website.
If I could sit down with them, I expect most would say they never expected to become "big" or to have all that money invested in iron. The economics of cotton production forced them to keep adding land and equipment to spread their costs as much as possible.
I also thought about the losses many of those and other growers across the Mid-South will incur because of the yield and quality already hit by two tropical storms and three other fronts that have hit the region.
What had been most promising has turned into a so-so to poor crop because of the 20 or more inches of rain and accompanying wind from those storms. The Delta Council quotes economists and crop specialists as saying the region's farmers could lose $155 million due to yield and quality losses.
Congressional leaders keep saying they understand the severity of the drought and storm losses across the farm belt, but it would be difficult to prove that given the speed at which the House adjourned on Oct. 17 without taking up disaster assistance legislation.
As of Sept. 26, the National Farmers Union noted, 55.1 percent of U.S. counties were declared disasters by the secretary of agriculture. In 2001, 48.6 percent of U.S. counties were declared disasters. Disasters were declared in nearly 30 percent of all counties in both years, according to USDA.
Although the Senate has passed disaster assistance legislation three times, House leaders have yet to schedule hearings or votes on any of the bills that have been introduced by various members.
Maybe we should add House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader Dick Armey, Majority Whip Tom DeLay and White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mitch Daniels, the most outspoken administration official on disaster assistance, to the list at the top of this column.

Hi all, this is my first post here,
So recently I decided to invest in a double rope for alpine climbing and I decided to get the Mammut 8.5 Genesis. I've been saving for almost 4 months to buy these ropes. Then, this New Year I spent about a week climbing in North Conway, NH area and I think Pinnacle (Huntington Ravine) is the roughest route I went to.
When I got back and inspect my rope, to my dismay the nylon on this part has been damaged. My question is, is there any way to repair this damage? My partner thinks that it should be cut but I just shelled out ~$400 dollars on this double rope and it breaks my heart to retire it right away. However, obviously safety is still the most important issue for me and I just want an additional opinion from this forum

To better improve the oral health of individuals who cannot afford regular dental visits, the Rhode Island Mission of Mercy, an organization that operates under the America's Dentists Care Foundation and assists people without dental insurance, will hold a free dental health clinic June 2nd and 3rd at the Community College of Rhode Island's Flanagan Campus at 1762 Louisquisset Pike in Lincoln.
After transportable equipment is set up, patient treatment will begin at 6 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. both days. The clinic will function on a first come, first serve basis.
While the event is a few months away, organizers expect to treat 500 patients in the course of two days and are in need of dental, medical and community volunteers.
According to Jeffrey Dodge, DMD, president of the Rhode Island Oral Health Foundation, as well as the Mission of Mercy dental clinic co-chair, 150 to 200 professionals, including general dentists, oral surgeons, endodontists, pediatric dentists,
prosthodontists and dental lab technicians, would be ideal to make the event as successful as possible.
Oral health professionals can claim continuing education credit for their community service time at the event.
Further, community volunteers are also needed to assist with crowd control, patient registration, patient escort, interpreter services, exit interviews, refreshments, setup and cleanup.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for at least one six-hour shift but may pick up more shifts if they like.
"It's quite an undertaking," Dodge said in a phone interview last week. "We can't provide every service that you would achieve in a regular dental office, but we're trying to return self-esteem to people so they are able to smile."
Of the services provided, Dodge listed extractions of bothersome teeth, excluding wisdom teeth, cleanings, fillings, limited root canals on front teeth and limited denture repairs. The goal of the clinic is to not only help individuals maintain oral health, but also remind them of the importance of caring for their dental hygiene.
"Most of us enjoy the ability to go to the dentist if we have pain or discomfort and some people don't," Dodge said. "Parents often put themselves on the back burner in order to care for their children, but people need to understand that dentistry is important to their total health."
Further, said Dodge, if anyone is dealing with a dental emergency, they should get it taken care of as soon as possible.
"June is a ways away, so we don't want anyone with a dental emergency to wait for us in June," he said. " Seek treatment before this event."
Mission of Mercy events have been taking place across the country since 2000. In the last 12 years, said Dodge, more than 135,000 patients have been treated through the program nationwide, which is an estimated $60 million in donated dentistry.

On an Ubuntu system 12.04 Server LTS the "system" log is not called "messages" instead they use "syslog" I might be wrong however once I retrieve the system log file, an error is thrown. Dunno if this is fixed pointer or if it can be configured to point to /var/log/syslog ? Just thought I post my thoughts. Cheers, Norbert

Advanced Search
Digital Learning | News
A course for non-science majors that explores the search for life on other planets developed by educators at Arizona State University is going into production for use by other institutions and may be offered in MOOC form for individuals in the future. HabWorlds Beyond is based on the institution's Habitable Worlds course. The courses use game-like simulations, virtual field trips with video and adaptive technology to help students understand the Drake equation, a mathematical formula that provides a framework for quantifying the potential for life elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy.
Arizona State's Ariel Anbar and Lev Horodyskyj introduced the course in 2011 as part of the university's School of Earth and Space Exploration program. Students create and destroy stars, hunt for planets, search for signs of life and travel around the world and through time to explore the evolution of Earth's habitability. So far, 1,500 students have taken the course at Arizona State. Beginning in fall 2014 instructors from other schools will be able to use HabWorlds Beyond.
Smart Sparrow, an adaptive digital learning platform used to develop and manage the course, includes an authoring tool for creating interactive content, including simulations; an "adaptivity" panel that allows learning pathways to be customized for each student; and a workflow environment for communicating with others who are helping to develop the curriculum too.
"With all the problems facing our planet, we want people to understand the power and limitations of science," said Anbar. "Large lecture courses can describe scientific results but they can't teach how science really works. We wanted to create a new way of teaching science to people who aren't necessarily science majors, so that they can be smarter voters and decision-makers about the future of our planet."
Each lesson in the program explores the variables used in the Drake equation:
"This collaboration with ASU has resulted in a one-of-a-kind learning experience that gives students the opportunity to learn science in a whole new way," said Dror Ben-Naim, CEO of Smart Sparrow. "HabWorlds Beyond will bring world class science education to classrooms around the world. Teachers will be able to use our platform to adapt the material specifically to the needs of their own classroom."

- Do I need to know Java to use Clojure?
Not at first, but it helps to know the standard Java APIs.
The Java Ecosystem
- What's a JAR?
JAR is an acronym for "Java Archive." It's the standard format for distributing Java code, and also Clojure code. The format is basically just a ZIP file with some extra metadata. The Java Development Kit (JDK) includes the "jar" command-line program to manipulate JAR files, but typically this task will be handled for you by a build tool such as Ant or Maven.
- What's the classpath?
The classpath is a list of directories and JAR files where the Java runtime searches for code to load. Java does not have a system-wide library directory like Perl, Ruby, or Python. Instead, each program has its own classpath, supplied as the "-cp" command-line argument to the "java" executable. On Unix, Linux, and OSX, entries in the classpath are separated by the colon character; on Windows, it's a semicolon. In order to use a Java class or Clojure namespace in your program, that class or namespace must be "on the classpath," that is, inside a directory or JAR file listed in the classpath.
- How can I change the classpath of a running program?
You can't. The classpath cannot be changed after a program has started, except by very advanced Java programming. Some IDEs and application servers provide this functionality.
- How do I run Clojure code in a file?
java -cp /path/to/the/clojure.jar clojure.main /path/to/your/code.clj
- How do I start a Clojure REPL (console)?
java -cp /path/to/the/clojure.jar clojure.main
- Why can't I require/use my
project_name.foonamespace ?
Because here, your namespace is loaded from the disk. For good interop with JVM features, Clojure does some "munging/unmunging" of names depending of them having to be "consumed" by the "clojure side" or the "jvm side" of the equation. So a "_" in a namespace "folder name/file name" has to correspond to a "-" in the namespace name. Check that your namespace on disk is in "project_name/foo.clj", while your namespace is declared as "project-name.foo" (e.g. in a (ns project-name.foo) directive).
- How can I make a namespace A that "exports" all the public symbols from namespaces B and C?
You can't. "Public" symbols are not transitive. As an alternative, you can define a function in namespace A which calls
referfor namespaces B and C, then call that function in any namespace where you want all those symbols to be available. Be aware that this makes it harder for people reading your source code to see where the symbols come from.
- Why doesn't
Because it expands to
#()always expands to include parens around the expression you give it. You might try
#(vector x)instead.
- Why doesn't
nthwork on sets and maps?
"There is a difference between a sequential view of a collection (i.e. what you get from seq) and the collection itself. Maps are not sequential data structures. nth is only supported for sequential data structures, and that is by design." – nth on maps thread
Java Interop
- How do you refer to a nested/inner class?
- Why doesn't
(. Integer getName)work?
. is a special operator. In particular, it does non-standard evaluation of its first arg. Because . can call static and instance methods, it determines if it is static call be seeing if the first arg names a class. In the case of
(. Integer getName), it tries to find the static getName member and doesn't, because there isn't one. You can use this syntax to call a static method on Integer:
(. Integer parseInt "42"). In short, if you can't say x.y() in Java you can't say (. x y) in Clojure, and you can't say Integer.getName() in Java.
How do I call a Java method that takes a variable number of arguments?
The variable arguments are actually just an array:
How do I get primitive types like
- When using
gen-class, how do I specify which method to override based on type signature?
This problem can appear if the class/interface you want to extend/implement defines methods with the same name and arity, only differing on the arguments types.
The solution is to suffix the function name in clojure with the types names, separated by slashes.
Example1, the parent class/interface defines 2 methods
: In clojure you'll write:
Example2, the method to override has no argument, eg.
. Then just append -void:
Example3, case of a java array, specific syntax, eg. for overriding
: You'll use the the-type<> syntax:
- How do I copy a file?
- Does Clojure support custom reader macros?
No, and support is not planned.
Dec 14, 2010
Why is Apache Commons IO suggested over using clojure.java.io/copy? Is there something wrong with the Clojure function? It makes me uncomfortable to imply Clojure can't perform trivial file IO operations.
Dec 15, 2010
Because this page is a copy-and-paste of an ancient FAQ from Google Code to jump-start a new FAQ. I have changed the IO question. Please feel free to add other questions and answers. I would like to flesh this out a a little, and then start pointing people here.

Looks like Janet Jackson was a very good girl this year because Santa brought her a billionaire for Christmas! The "Nasty Boys" singer is reportedly engaged to Qatar billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana. And reportedly her engagement ring is so big that she keeps it "locked away" for security purposes. Dayam! What's the point of a ring so big you can't wear it? Not only that, the wedding will apparently rival that of Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Janet's billionaire boyfriend will reportedly spend "millions" on the big day and wants to hire a "top chef" for a custom-designed menu. A source tells US Weekly that the nuptials are sure to be a "circus" and that: "He is flying in all of Janet's friends and family on private jets." Good thing, cause I don't think they could afford it themselves considering that Michael Jackson left his estate to his three kids and his mom, Katherine. I mean, the kids could afford it. But probably not Janet's siblings. And they're not too happy about that, either. If Katherine goes to the wedding, let's hope we don't see another "kidnap" attempt.
If Janet does go ahead with a big splashy billionaire wedding, it will be out of character. Remember when she was married to some guy named Rene Elizondo for a decade and no one even knew about it? And remember when it was rumored she was also married to producer Jermaine Dupri and no one even knew about it?
But not this time! The WORLD will know about it. Well, good for Janet. Why not? At 46, Janet also supposedly wants to have kids with her 37-year-old fiance, but if she can't, she'll adopt.
Congratulations, Janet. But I do hope this one lasts longer than that quickie marriage/annulment to singer James DeBarge. 'Memba that?!

The Incredible Hulk has been my favorite comic book ever since I was a youngin'. I have every issue, except #'s 1-6 and a few Tales To Astonish. This story is from Variety.com.
Edward Norton has been set by Marvel Studios to play Bruce Banner in "The Incredible Hulk."
The Louis Leterrier-directed drama will be distributed by Universal Pictures, with an opening set for June 13, 2008.
It is a decided return to the mainstream for Norton, who recently has starred in such indies as "Down in the Valley," "The Painted Veil," and "The Illusionist." Pic will shoot this summer in Toronto.
Norton takes over a role played in the Ang Lee-directed "Hulk" by Eric Bana. Though that film opened strongly, it didn't fare as well as other Marvel efforts, including "Spider-Man," "X-Men," "Fantastic Four" and, most recently, "Ghost Rider."
Marvel Studios, which has a $525 million credit facility obtained through Merrill Lynch, made "The Incredible Hulk" its second film under that arrangement, and seeks to make a sequel that is less self-serious and more in line with the comic series and TV show. Leterrier directed the action-filled "Transporter 2," and "Unleashed."
The new pic begins with Banner on the run, trying to avoid capture long enough to cure the condition that turns him into a misunderstood green menace.
"Edward Norton is a rare talent and one of the most versatile actors in the business," Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige said in a statement. "His ability to transform into a particular role makes him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Edward is perfectly suited to bring one of the most popular and important Marvel icons to the bigscreen in a new and exciting way."
The script for "The Incredible Hulk" was written by Zak Penn, who had a hand in crafting two "X-Men" films, "Fantastic Four" and "Elektra" for Marvel.
"The Incredible Hulk" is being produced by Avi Arad, Gale Anne Hurd and Marvel's Feige. Jim Van Wyck, David Maisel, Ari Arad and Stan Lee are exec producing.

Cindy: A Happily Never After Web Series by the Producer of Beetlejuice
When an orphaned teenager is fostered by a self-obsessed TV superstar who treats her as a PA/personal maid, it seems as though a fairy godmother with a drug problem and a man twice her age may be her only chance of escape from a life of misery. So what happens when the distant worlds of time-honoured folk tales and 21st-century reality television collide? That's what Cindy, a brand new web series based on the classic story of Cinderella,...

I have a few decades on you- but sage advice? We make our own happiness- always- and the only things we can change are ourselves- no one else...marriage for the sake of the children? Never- To remain in a dysfunctional relationship is destructive- both for you and the children- yes it is scarey- happiness is taking steps on a path less travelled- education- taking care of yourself- and finding out what is important to make you feel alive, feel your self worth- it isn't behind a title or a a man- it is taking strides- becoming independent if need be- be proud of who you are...Take care- believe in yor self- Sunshiney

Gina Caceres-Jimenez
Essentially self-trained artist Gina Caceres-Jimenez, launched herself professionally in 2006 and has most recently exhibited at The Alexandra Palace, London. A keen musician and lyricist, having also had two poems published in 2006, Gina sees her poetical works as the cultivation of the ideas that first manifest themselves as experience: image and that music can fulfil the final, matured representation of such ideas. Abstract landscapes and very personal portraiture feature heavily in her work and are merely, an introduction to, a journey, the discovering of oneself and ones limitations, like the very earth, through layers of creative compatibility and modification.

Futures are gapping down after Friday's bearish sharp reversal, and here's why: 178 companies have now warned, marking this the highest level of pre-announcements — or what we call "earnings warnings" — all the way back to 2006.
Prices at the pump are hitting record levels in California, topping $5 a gallon, along with the surge in unleaded gas. Now, for those of us who don't live in California, prices at the pump haven't yet increased to the levels of our West Coast friends, but it still looks like it's only a matter of time.
For the first time going all the way back to July 2012, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) closed below its 50-day moving average. In early pre-market trading today, AAPL — which makes up 20% of the NASDAQ 100 and 5% of the S&P 500 — was down another $6 a share, or about 0.9%, though the losses narrowed by the afternoon.
Commodity prices in everything continue to be under pressure after the World Bank has lowered Asia's growth outlook as a global recession has significantly increased, consequently forcing the World Bank to slash China's growth outlook by 50 basis points.
Copper took out the lows of all trading days last week as it dropped another 1.8% in the overnight session.
Silver futures acted even weaker, taking out the past two weeks in price action as they declined another 2% in overnight trading.
Gold futures were not far behind in terms of weak price action.
While every senior index futures contract took out Friday's lows, the weakest continued to be tech as the Nasdaq futures had taken out the past three days of trading, flipping into a new daily bearish trend reversal.
Not far behind in terms of weakness were the Russell 2000 futures, which also remained in a bearish trend reversal on the daily chart.
I'm no permabear, but I'm seeing technical breakdowns everywhere after last week. Take advantage of them with some short-term put trades.

Family members of a Salt Lake City couple found dead in an apparent murder-suicide on Interstate 80 say the couple appeared happy and had never hinted there was any trouble in their relationship.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers found Felipe Rodriguez, 37, and his wife, Iris, 32, dead from apparent gunshot wounds to their heads inside an SUV at about 9:30 a.m. Friday. A citizen who saw the SUV leave the highway initially reported a possible crash to police.
"We don't know how this happened. We have a lot of questions," Iris Rodriguez's aunt Anna Barahona said Friday evening. "We don't have any information and what police said was very brief."
Felipe and Iris Rodriguez had been married 14 years and leave behind a 13-year-old daughter, Samantha, Barahona said. The couple's daughter was at school at the time of the shootings, she said.
Family members were gathered at the home of Iris Rodriguez's parents in Salt Lake City trying to make sense of what had happened, Barahona said. The couple had dinner on Thursday with family and did not appear to be having problems, nor was family aware of any unusual financial pressures, she said.
"Iris was a very happy person, very loving, very caring," said Barahona. "Felipe we know as her husband, and he was also always very happy. He didn't seem to me like he would do something like this."
Police have provided few details about the shooting. and a motive for the incident remained unclear Friday night.
UHP Cpl. Todd Johnson said troopers found the SUV off the side of the highway underneath an intersecting Interstate 215 overpass, not far from Salt Lake City International Airport.
"There are two dead adults, the female driver and a male passenger. Both appear to have gunshot wounds to the head, so we're looking at this as a possible murder-suicide," Johnson said Friday morning.
Johnson said there was no crash involved, as had been reported earlier.
The incident closed down the eastbound I-80 ramp at Redwood Road, as well as the I-215 westbound exit to eastbound I-80, until 3:30 p.m.
UHP has released the couple's bodies to the state medical examiner's office for autopsies.

UNESCO Director-General launches Emergency Fund at close of General Conference
Gabon immediately announces $2m donation
The Director-General of UNESCO Irina Bokova today launched an Emergency Multi-Donor Fund to help fill a shortfall resulting from dues withheld by the United States. The Director-General made the announcement at the closing session of the General Conference.
The U.S withheld its contributions following the admission of Palestine to UNESCO on 31 October. They were required to do so by U.S. laws dating from the 1990s. This leaves UNESCO with an immediate shortfall of US$65m to the end of 2011, and a further gap of 22 percent in its US$653m budget for 2012-2013. Israel has now followed suit and withheld its contribution of US$1.5m (0.3 percent of UNESCO's budget) for 2012-2013.
The U.S announcement stimulated an unprecedented outpouring of support for UNESCO from individuals, associations and private corporations from all corners of the globe. "I see these expressions of support as clear recognition of the good that UNESCO does in the world. These are very concrete indicators of success," noted the Director-General.
The Fund will be open to all donors, from Member States to public institutions, foundations and individuals. The Government of Gabon immediately announced a donation of US$2m. The general public can now make donations online at www.unesco.org/donate
It is one of four emergency measures proposed by Irina Bokova to address the shortfall. The Director-General also:
· Urged member States to support an immediate increase in the Organization's Working Capital Fund for 2012-2013 from $30m to $65m.
· Appealed to all Governments to provide their assessed contributions as early as possible in 2012.
· Proposed to defer the system by which those Member States that pay their dues on time benefit from a reduction.
To cover the funding gap to the end of 2011, the Director-General told the General Conference that UNESCO had already begun a thorough review of all of the Organization's activities planned for November and December. "I have temporarily interrupted certain activities to revise their costs," Irina Bokova said. .
"I am well aware that this situation is also an opportunity to accelerate reform," she continued. "I am absolutely ready to completely revise our action, working methods and structures within the Secretariat."
The Director-General's address was made during the final plenary of the 36th session of the General Conference, which closed today.
Other highlights from the General Conference:
South Sudan and Palestine were admitted to UNESCO as Member States and Curacao and Sint Maarten as Associate Members. This brings the total number of Member States to 195, with eight Associate Members.
Several Heads of State took part in the General Conference, including; Georgi Parvanov, President of the Republic of Bulgaria; Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of Indonesia; Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire; Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of the Republic of Gabon; Tillman Thomas, Prime Minister of Grenada; Pascal Irenée Koupaki, Prime Minister of Benin; Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of Kenya and Johnson Toribiong, President of the Republic of Palau.
Several of these statesmen participated in the Leaders' Forum (26 and 27 October), on the theme "How does UNESCO contribute to building a culture of peace and to sustainable development?"
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff visited the Director-General on Saturday 5 November.
Other notable events included the presentation of a Blueprint for Ocean and Coastal Sustainability on 1 November and a special plenary on 2 November to celebrate the 10th anniversary of UNESCO's Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity. Immediately before the Conference began, a Youth Forum drew young people from around the world to engage in dialogue and debate on the theme "How Youth Drive Change."
The General Conference also declared two new international days; World Radio Day on 13 February and International Jazz Day on 30 April.
In closing, the Director-General drew three conclusions for UNESCO from the General Conference: to assume greater leadership across its entire mandate, to focus on innovation by tackling new issues in new ways with new partners, and to keep up the pace of change and build on the first results of reform.
"Our mandate is ambitious, so must be our action. Expectations are high. I am determined we must meet them…Uncertain times call for more UNESCO. They call for a better UNESCO."

Musician will.i.am has unveiled a range of iPhone accessories designed to enhance the device's camera abilities.
At a press event in London on Wednesday, the Black Eyed Peas member showed off his i.am+ foto.sosho range, which includes four cases, ranging from a whopping £199 to £299.
Two of the cases are designed for iPhone 4/4S and will be available to buy exclusively from Selfridges from 6 December, with the two iPhone 5 models 'coming soon'.
The £199 foto.sosho C.4 case will be available in black or white, and includes a flash module, macro, fish-eye and clear glass interchangeable lenses, and a camera grip.
For an extra £100, you can buy the foto.sosho V.4, which is designed to make your iPhone 4/4S look like a vintage camera. It adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, includes the three interchangeable lenses and flash, and comes in white and gold or black and silver.
The iPhone 5 versions of the two cases, which will be launching at a later, as yet unspecified date, will be available in silver and brown leather, all white leather or black leather designs.
CEO of will.i.am's i.am+ business Chandra Rathakrishnan revealed that the iPhone 5 foto.sosho V.5 and L.5 will offer superior iPhone camera quality through the use of a 14-megapixel camera and 5x zoom lens.
As well as the cases, will.i.am's iPhone accessories come with an app that provides editing, filters, effects, social media connectivity, and a profile within the 'i.am' domain.
When asked by Engadget why users would cough up the couple of hundred pounds it costs to get your hands on one of the i.am+ foto.sosho accessories, Rathakrishnan said: "It's really a fashion accessory that intersects with technology. It allows you to look cool, feel good doing it, easy to use."
"People are spending a lot of money on getting Burberry cases and getting Prada cases just to protect their phone," he added. "This takes it to a step further. It actually brings functionality and turns your iPhone into something better than it already is."
Rathakrishnan also revealed that a worldwide launch is going to take place in 2013.
Would you spend £199 and upwards on your iPhone case? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter.

2. Re: DPX Import in CS5Mylenium May 6, 2010 3:55 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Assign a proper color profile to your footage in the footage interpretation.
3. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 6, 2010 3:59 AM (in response to Mylenium)
that's what I did. I tried them ALL. No profile gives me the correct look.
I didn't have to work with color management and profiles in CS4...why should I work with them in CS5? Is there a reason?
4. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 6, 2010 11:59 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Can you post a sample that I could experiment with? Support for multi-channel DPX was added in After Effects CS5, but otherwise very little changed for DPX files so I wouldn't expect a difference between CS4 and CS5.
How were the DPX files generated?
If you look at the Interpret Footage settings, including the Cineon Settings dialog, is there any difference between what you have in CS4 and CS5?
Is color management turned on in the project?
5. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 6, 2010 12:59 PM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
Hi Tim,
the DPX files are coming from a post-facility using Autodesk Lustre.
I made a ZIP-Archive, containing one of the DPX-Frames and two reference images. One showing my picture in CS4 and the other one in CS5.
Here's the ZIP: http://www.mediafire.com/?v3gfdwyi2hm
Like I wrote before - I tried all color profile combinations...but no success. I also tried different working color spaces...no success.
Maybe try to play around with the DPX file on your own.
Thanks! Cheers!
6. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 6, 2010 2:45 PM (in response to theiceage13)
I get the exact same results with that DPX file in both CS4 and CS5 on 10.6.3.
Do you see this problem in the footage window or in the comp window? If in the comp window, what else is going on in your comp?
Have you changed *any* settings in the Interpret Footage dialog?
Have you enabled color management for the project?
Are you using the same project in CS4 and CS5? If you import this file into a new project in both versions (which is what I'm doing) do you see the problem? In either case, please post project files that I can look at.
7. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 6, 2010 2:51 PM (in response to theiceage13)
Also, you don't have the Exposure value at the bottom of the Footage or Comp viewer turned up, do you? The screenshot you sent makes it look almost exactly like you have that turned up by about a stop.
8. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 7, 2010 6:48 AM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
I just opened the DPX file in AE CS4, saved the project and then opened this project in CS5. Now I have the correct look within CS5. But when importing the file directly into CS5, I get the wrong look. It's wrong in the comp windows, wrong in the footage window, I didn't adjust the exposure and so forth.
One other strange thing: When I import the dpx-file again into the project that I created in CS4 - my newly imported file looks correct in CS5. The wrong look only happens when importing into CS5 from scratch.
Any ideas?
9. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 7, 2010 10:58 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Can you post a project file that you have created with CS5 that shows the problem?
My next thought is to reset the preferences. Quit After Effects CS5, go to User\username\Library\Preferences\Adobe\After Effects, then drag the 10.0 folder out to the desktop or another safe location. (Don't trash it yet.) Restart CS5, import the DPX.
Also, have you made any changes to the Interpretation Rules file? Have you installed any third party utilties, like drivers for Matrox, AJA, etc.? Sometimes they change the interp rules.
10. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 9, 2010 4:32 AM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
Hi Tim,
I tried the moving-preferences-way - but no success. The problem stays the same. I uploaded the CS5-Project here for you:
I'm using an AJA Kona LHe Card - but just installed the drivers - not the CS-Tools that you can download on the AJA-Website. Also I didn't make any changes to interpret rules file. The problem occured just after a fresh install of the CS5-Trial.
This is really a big problem for me, because I'm working most of the time with DPX-files and I won't be able to upgrade to CS5 with this problem.
Thanks again for your effort.
11. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 12, 2010 5:53 PM (in response to theiceage13)
Sorry for the delay. Most (but not all) of what I'll suggest here is covered by our PM's, but for the sake of the reading public...
The project file you posted doesn't reproduce the problem for me. But the DPX file doesn't display. I get an error instead:
After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {Old Cineon settings should have been converted to new ones before getting here.}
After talking with the engineers about this problem, we think that you possibly have a corrupted install. The DPX interpreter doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. Can you try reinstalling After Effects CS5, or at the very least try installing it on a different machine to see if the problem reproduces there?
One of the components we think may be corrupted are the color profiles. Try going to Library\Application Support\Adobe\Color\ (on root of the drive, not the one in your user folder), and poke around in the Profiles and MPProfiles folders. Everything look OK in here? Try pulling the contents out, starting After Effects CS5 and seeing if this changes the problem behavior.
12. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 13, 2010 2:49 AM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
I tried to download a trial for our second workstation all day long yesterday...but there was a server-problem the whole wednesday. I just tried again and now it seems to work. I will be in office this afternoon and will install a new CS5 version on the second workstation. Hope this will solve the confusion.
I will also take a look into the color profiles.
13. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 14, 2010 3:45 AM (in response to theiceage13)
I just installed the trial on a second workstation and I had no problem with the DPX files. Everything looks fine! One other thing I noticed: on the first workstation (the one that gave me the wrong look) asked me for alpha-channel interpretation whereas the second workstation didn't.
I also I tried messing around with the color profiles - but it didn't help.
I just deleted my CS5 installation on the first workstation and installed a new trial - but the problem stays the same.
So maybe a clean install of my system is the only solution?
14. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 14, 2010 10:09 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Are the configurations between the two machines the same? Same version of Mac OS, same language?
What plug-ins, hardware, and codecs do you have installed on the problem machine?
I wouldn't expect that you should have to clean the system in order to get a good install. But you might want to try the reinstall a second time, making sure to clean up any bits AE leaves behind. Preferences, plist files, anything in the app directory.
15. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 14, 2010 10:29 AM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
The machines are installed with the same MacOS and the same language.
In the first workstation (the problem machine) I have an AJA Kona LHe (Driver Version 7.1) installed, Trapcode Plugins, Sapphire Plugins. The plugins and the AJA card are not installed in the second workstation.
I don't know - I uninstalled the first CS5-Trial with the help of the CleanMyMac-Application. Shouldn't that delete all the stuff you mentioned? Could it be a problem that I also still use CS4? Is there anything that both apps are sharing that might confuse the CS5-installation?
Thanks again for all your patience!
16. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 14, 2010 10:41 AM (in response to theiceage13)
No, the apps are quite independent so there's nothing CS4 should be doing to interefere.
I'm not familiar with CleanMyMac. Did you use the uninstaller in the After Effects application folder first? At the very least use that first with any licensed version of an Adobe application before running CleanMyMac. I fear your licensing data on the machine could become bungled otherwise. Probably not an issue for the trial, though.
Can you post your Interpret Rules.txt file from CS5? Some capture cards make edits to those, so I want to double-check that AJA hasn't done anything weird in there. Given the fact that I can't get your CS5 project to work I really doubt that's the case, but it's all I've got to go on right now.
17. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 14, 2010 11:02 AM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
I just used the uninstall after effects app and after that installed the trial for the third time. But the problem stays the same.
Here's my interpret_rules.txt -> http://www.mediafire.com/?jnmyzlmrdmi
18. Re: DPX Import in CS5Tim Kurkoski May 14, 2010 11:12 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Thanks. Nothing unusual in your interp rules file.
There is a soft rule in the interp rules that tags DPX files with the working RGB profile. This is the default and normal behavior, but I'm wondering if it's related to the problem. Comment out that line, restart After Effects, and see what happens. (Still wouldn't explain the error I get when reading your project file, though.)
19. Re: DPX Import in CS5ChrisProsser May 14, 2010 5:17 PM (in response to Tim Kurkoski)
The Cineon Importer itself has some settings that can effect this. The default should be the same in CS4, but clearly something ain't right.
Can you try selecting different entries in the popup I highlight below to see if that fixes the issue?
You get to this dialog by:
1) Import a DPX file
2) File Menu->Interpret Footage->Main...
3) Color Management Tab
4) Click on the Cineon Settings button.
The default should be Full Range. Please confirm that it is, and if it isn't try setting it back.

20. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 17, 2010 12:26 AM (in response to ChrisProsser)
Hi Tim, Hi Chris,
I think we're getting close to the source of the bug.
Tim - I tried commenting out that line - didn't help anything...BUT...
Chris - I checked the interpret footage dialog and was surprised that I didn't have the cineon setting button on the first workstation. Then I double-checked on the second workstation and there it was. So it seems to be a problem with AE misinterpreting the file on import.
Does the following help you? Here is a screenshot of the project panel on the first workstation (the one with the bug):
And here how it looks after importing on the second workstation (the one working normal):
Why does it say "DPX Digital Film Codec" on the first workstation but not on the second. Also it always asks me for Alpha-Interpretation what makes no sense, cause there is no alpha. On the second workstation I'm not asked for alpha-interpretation.
And here again a screenshot from the first workstation after choosing interpret footage - no cineon settings:
21. Re: DPX Import in CS5ChrisProsser May 17, 2010 8:29 AM (in response to theiceage13)
Does the problem workstation have Glue Tools installed?
22. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 17, 2010 8:33 AM (in response to ChrisProsser)
Yes - it does!
23. Re: DPX Import in CS5ChrisProsser May 17, 2010 8:51 AM (in response to theiceage13)
I think you can workaround this issue by forcing AE to use our DPX importer instead of the one provided by Glue Tools.
In the import dialog select All Files and the make sure you select DPX/Cineon for Import As.
I'm on Windows and don't have Glue Tools installed, but I believe this will work. Please let me know either way.
24. Re: DPX Import in CS5theiceage13 May 17, 2010 9:02 AM (in response to ChrisProsser)
That solved it! Great! Thank you!
I didn't know that when you switch from "all acceptable files" to "all files" that you are able to choose the import-format.
Anyway...thanks again to everyone involved...Chris, Tim, thanks for all your effort!

OAKLAND — A man was shot and killed Saturday morning in West Oakland, and a stretch of San Pablo Avenue was closed while police investigated.
The name of the Oakland man, believed to be 23 years old, was not immediately available.
The shooting may have followed a fight between the victim and another person, but that theory remains under investigation.
The man was shot at 7:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of San Pablo Avenue, and a stretch of the road between Mead Avenue and 27th Street was closed to traffic.
No one has been arrested in the shooting, and police do not have a clear motive. The killing brings this year's homicide count to 51.
The homicide came after two nonfatal shootings Friday night, one in North Oakland and one in East Oakland, police said. A 19-year-old man, whose name was not released, was shot in the 500 block of 59th Street about 8:40 p.m. Friday. He is in stable condition, police said.
At 11:50 a.m., a 22-year-old man, whose name was also not released, was shot in the 2200 block of 86th Avenue. Witnesses saw the shooter flee in a car. The victim is in critical condition but is expected to live, police said.
Police and Crime Stoppers are offering up to $10,000 for information in the homicide and up to $5,000 for information in each nonfatal shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 510-238-3821, a tip line at 510-773-2805 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.

The Third Pageant of Deerfield, Massachusetts, (1916) again re-enacted episodes from the 1704 Raid on Deerfield. Here, "Indians" are leading the captives taken during that raid northward, to Canada. The little girl sitting on the shoulder of the "Indian" was Dorothy Andrews, playing Eunice Williams, a captive who chose to never return. The 1916 pageant had many characters playing symbolic, or allegorical, figures, much more so than earlier pageants. During this episode characters personifying the Pioneer Spirit, Courage, and Hope encouraged both the captives shown here and their relatives left behind. This photograph was taken by Deerfield's most famous photographers, the sisters Frances and Mary Allen.

An All Natural Laptop Lap Desk: AirSlab
In my search for the perfect lapdesk for the more than toasty MacBook Pro, I eventually chose the comfy Targus Chill Mat. But this all wood and cork option might be a better fit if I was factoring keeping a lapdesk out and about around the living room...
The Solo Deo Gloria AirSlab is a simple and beautiful solution to combat the high operating temperature of laptops and sweaty leg syndrome. Laser cut out of full grain Walnut veneer, carefully hand-finished, and oiled right here in the USA.
The Walnut finish AirSlab is also joined by a Baltic Birch version, both offered as a 13" MacBook Air/MacBook edition, and the larger 15" sized solution (perhaps for your brand spankin' new Retina Display MacBook Pro?). Just be sure to factor in the 3-4 order time for either $45/$49 laptop accessory.

Penn Charter Lower School students celebrated Earth Day on Friday, April 20 with a series of stewardship-themed workshops, a video on sustainability, field trips to local farms and art projects made from recyclables.
In small groups, the students visited workshops on gardening, composting and beekeeping. They also learned about caring for free-range chickens and eggs. With gloves and spades, they planted carrots, lettuce, radishes, turnips, beans, peas and more in garden boxes. They learned how to make compost bins, which the kindergarten will use for their annual worm sale.
Second grade teacher Joel Eckel, who is also a beekeeper, taught students about his hives, which he keeps on the school's Strawbridge property.
"Bees are all about getting the job done," he said. "They're very efficient."
In an art workshop, students created art out of aluminum cans, construction paper, gems, feathers and glue.
"They transform [the items] into pieces of art that are useful," explained art teacher Karen Riedlmeier.
"I might use mine for, like, pencils," said fifth grader Gabriella Petrone. Another student had a Mother's Day gift in mind.
In addition to the workshops, many classes visited either Weaver's Way Farm or Wyck, a National Historic Landmark house, garden and farm in Germantown.

Kudos for stance on 'stand your ground' law
Kudos to Pete Mazzaccaro for your on-target July 18 article, "A law that creates vigilantes." I believe your article is the best I've read to date that explains a rationale for the jury's shocking (wrongful) acquittal of unprovoked 210-pound George Zimmerman's stalking, confronting and shooting of an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin.
It happened while he was walking home, but who was forced to defend himself by fighting for his life with a much heavier and armed aggressor, George Zimmerman. A murder was committed here!
I believe the jury may have erred in its interpretation of the trial judge's 16-page instructions to the jury regarding the defense lawyer's "self defense" plea. I am not a lawyer, but it seems plain to me, as you pointed out in your article, that George Zimmerman was not defending his home or property. Clearly, George Zimmerman was the assailant and unlawful threat to Trayvon Martin, not the reverse.
Therefore, I do not agree that the jury reached its conclusion fairly. As you stated, "That an unarmed boy can be gunned down lawfully without consequences is shocking." It would not surprise me if a mistrial is declared, or should be declared, politics notwithstanding. Perhaps the trial judge's 16-page instructions to the jury should be examined. Was it biased for acquittal?
I do agree with you that some justice may be obtained with a successful, civil wrongful death suit and/or a federal civil rights conviction. I understand 30 other states have similar "stand your ground laws," so their elimination will take some doing.

Don't let ideology get in the way of health care
Dear Governor Corbett,
As members of a group that understands everyone needs affordable health care, we have been dismayed that you are rejecting the Medicaid expansion money that the Affordable Care Act makes available.
The Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation concludes "There is strong empirical evidence that "opting out" of expansion will have many negative implications not only for individual and public health outcomes, but also for state fiscal stability. In other words, expanding Medicaid to residents with incomes up to 133 percent FPL is in every state's interest. While political battles loom large in the coming months, states will benefit from analyzing the actual costs and benefits of the Medicaid expansion making an informed decision that serves states' residents at large."
A number of Republican governors who gave the plan a second look, decided benefits to their citizens and budgets outweighed their feelings about the Obama plan. They understood that while one argument against it is that eventually the states will be left with an obligation, the federal government promises to pay 100 percent of the expansion for the first three years, with the federal share eventually dropping to 90-93 percent.
This will mean that for no extra expense at first and then for rather little money considering the gain, many human beings will be covered against ravaging illness, infant and maternal mortality, and even death for rather little money.
We implore you not to put ideological concerns ahead of the wellbeing of the people of the state of Pennsylvania.

Oh, so both Yoshiokas show up. I was afraid Deshichiro wouldn't, because he doesn't say anything to show up in the translation.
That Munisai portion is very beautiful, one of the best so far. But I wonder if he really calls him Musashi, or is it Takezo? In the end, did he talk to him as one who acknowledges him living by the sword, or as a father?
Anyway, thank you for these wonderful posts, the pictures you posted are all the ones I desperately wanted to see. I couldn't possibly think of anything else to ask of you. Boy, we'll have plenty to discuss from now on!
And is it just me, or is anyone else now looking even more forward to the next episodes after we've seen all of this?
"I thought "The LAST Manga Exhibition" could become an opportunity for me, to turn the "Musashi" I depicted and his lifetime of killing dozens of people into a positive, despite everything.What I'm trying to say is--The people that read "Vagabond" all along.The people that accepted my many twists and turns duringthese 10 years, and kept following me.I really, really wanted to make them feel good."I'm glad I kept reading." --I absolutely wanted to make them feel that way.Drawing "shadows" to draw "light."Conflicts and killing people are "shadows."I thought I had to draw that side, or I wouldn't be able to seethe "light."I thought that was what I was proceeding towards.However, even if it was something along the path to mydestination, the pictures that depict killing people, althoughpictures, also had the power to unconciously hurt people'shearts.Unseen thorns were left remaining in the reader and theartist.When I discovered a part of myself that felt, I don't want toshow these to people that still have God-like, bare open souls, like young children, I felt this was a certainty.I'm glad I was able to draw this story at this time.No, it had to be this time, and it had to be a "Manga drawnin space, experienced with one's entire body," or it really wouldn't have been possible to get across.I now truly feel that I finally had an opportunity to depict"light" itself.When I think so, it all wasn't a mistake. It turned into the exact form I was proceeding to.Even when I depict sorrow, it is no longer sorrow without a destination.July 2008Inoue Takehiko"
I may end up being in the minority on this, but for me it's the opposite. I feel that Inoue just finished the series in a really beautiful way, and that's going to be a stumbling block for me in the future of the episodic releases. It's such a climactic and emotional ending, I imagine it will be hard for me to continue following the day-to-day life of Musashi with as much gusto since we just experienced the culmination of what Inoue has been working toward all these years.
Anyway, I'll also be posting some more photos now and then, just little things of interest, and probably the sequence with Inshun if people want to see that?
Yeah, that could be an important distinction in this case, and I wondered about it as well when I read it. Earlier in the translation it does make that distinction with Otsu calling him Takezo, so I can only assume this was consistent, and accurate, with that, or that it could truly be taken either way.
Wow, that was a fantastic description of the LAST Manga Exhibition. Seriously, Inoue would be proud.
And that drawing is beautiful, he ended up looking a lot like the two he looked up to the most, especially Sekishusai. Very serene yet strong at the same time or something. Well, that scene where Fuki tries to cut him on his sleep says it all.Oh, and look at the size of it! Man!http://jcast.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/inoue9.jpgHis expression looks kinda like Vol. 25's cover, but less aggressive and more peaceful.http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7957/largeanimepaperscansvag.jpg
I'd love to see the sequence. But man, I think I might have an overdose if you keep this pace, give me some time to breath! Too much awesomeness in one week!
I wonder who translated that? Are there any credits in the book? Either way, if Otsu calls him Takezo and Munisai calls him Musashi, I'd say it's accurate.
Thanks, was still editing it into the wee hours of the night! I still need to do a more basic description or summary of the story itself, try to fill in the blanks between the transcription and the images available.
Anyway, whoever did the translation did a great job in my opinion; seems perfect, straight forward and no awkwardness, even more impressive given the material.
All of this is truly amazing. I"m planning to save money too, so I can get this in my hands as well. I feel if I don't I"ll miss on something so great.
Good to know you'll write more, I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, from the full translation and that Inoue interview, it even looks like Viz translated it. I'm glad it's so professional, shows how they care for their overseas fans.
Thanks for the new sequence of images, it's one of the most beautiful so far, but I guess I already said that, and will probably just keep saying that while you post.Every sequence has an "ending" feeling to them. I could totally see the last image you posted here as the last one of the exhibit, as well as that one with Kojiro at the beach, or the one with Musashi beside Otsu, or those after Munisai speaks to Musashi.
Wait until you get a load of this. First, the plot device I wanted to write about is the ball of light, which is something you've all seen in the pictures I posted, but maybe took for granted (I know I did at first). It's the meaning of the white circle on the cover, a motif also on the spine and inside cover page, signified by just a white circle or dot. In the story, after a serious talk with Fuki that resonates deeply for both of them and their way of the sword, the ball of light comes out of Musashi's chest while he's in the dream-like state where receives his many visitors from the past. The significant thing about the ball of light is that it's full of thorns, and each of Musashi's special guests, presumably, removes one.
Slam Dunk also ends on the beach
In fact, that's the main problem I have with Slam Dunk: it doesn't change at all. The problems the characters have to get over in the beginning of the series are exactly the same they have to face in the last part.
Haha, yeah, although the meanings are quite the opposite.
That's because the pursuit of basketball normally doesn't involve killing dozens of people.
Slam Dunk also ends on the beach
Could this possibly be the end for Vagabond?
It's been a while since I last started up again. After the manga exhibit in Ueno, the manuscript feels like a pretty small amount of work.And my eyes and throat have been hit by an adenovirus infection... INOUE TAKEHIKO30 July 2008
I did take it for granted. That's the Jesus Heart you mentioned on that poster in Inoue's studio earlier, right?
I didn't notice the ball of light was in so many pictures, it just seemed like a pretty effect Inoue decided to put in the paintings.
That's very cool, I like how he manages to add weird stuff in the course of the series depending on what Musashi is going through (like Sloggo, the two old men, and Ueda, which are probably the "twists" he mentioned in the book) and not make the whole thing look ridiculous and... unbalanced. I think it makes it all rich and with more meaning than it normally would if he had decided to just end how he started it.
I think we can lay the "end time" laments to a rest and focus on the fact Vagabond is still live and going in new and unexpected directions. So, let's not take it for granted over the misguided and erroneous notion the series actually ended a year and half, or almost four volumes, ago.
Same here. BTW, in my last post, fixed a broken link to another previously released photo.
Yeah, he certainly employs a lot of different storytelling techniques to great effect, even his between episode doodles in the volumes become important to how things are perceived. It's a testament to the medium as well, lots of stories have have important subtext, this is one of the only ones I can think of that seemingly has an actual subconscious.
Of course, I mean, do the exhibit's paintings give away something like Musashi fighting Ito Ittosai? I bet anyone that went to the exhibit had no idea that would happen and were surprised, just like we will be about the new things that will happen from now on, regardless of having seen these paintings and the translation.
Yeah. But, for example, when Ueda appeared as a ghost I have to admit I felt a little weird. And then, a few chapters in, it just felt natural and like something that truly belonged in the series. It's hard to explain.
That sketch is beautiful, they kinda look like old Sekishusai and In'ei.
Speaking of our favorite elderly dudes, check out what the exhibit's staff wore at this year's exhibit:
Haha stylish, I wouldn't mind having one of those. Any idea what the old geezers are saying?
Unfortunately the little I knew of Japanese is now long forgotten. We're in need of someone of Puella's level for the Inn!
Speaking of translations... I still need to email Inoue's website about their archives. If they haven't been saving all those personal Inoue entries, I'm going to eat volume 30 of both Vagabond and Berserk.
It'll be good when you contact them. Imagine if they do still have these archives and send them exclusively to the Inn as gratitude for caring so much about Inoue! get ready to eat some tasty paper
Anyway, we can expect lots of news on Osaka's exhibit from now on, Inoue's finally working hard on it, at least that's the impression we get from his latest news. I'm excited, I hope that blog shows us pics of the making ofs, some paintings and Inoue working on lightning and stuff.
Update: new blog post contained this:
That'd be very cool, the behind the scenes stuff is always interesting. I'd like to see even more of him setting up or overseeing the specific exibhits such as the sand or the suspended bokken.
This new product? But not listening.No, this really this blog because it is totally unconfirmed information please do not blind faith.
