copyright, fans, movie marathon, star wars
AdamR was the first of a few of you to send in this story of how lawyers for Lucasfilm sent a cease-and-desist letter to a group of Star Wars fans who had organized a (free, not for profit) Star Wars movie marathon (all 13-hours) at a bar in Brooklyn. It's the sort of fun thing that Star Wars fans might enjoy and which would increase their connection to the franchise. But Lucasfilm, of course, calls it copyright infringement, and says that there's a ban on public display of the film right now. Legally, there's no doubt that Lucasfilm is in the right here. But, practically speaking, why would the company do this? What good does it do? Would it have hurt Lucasfilm in any way to allow this to go on? Instead, you have about 200 annoyed (former?) fans. This is exactly how you don't connect with fans, but piss them off.

Andreas, 8 Jul 2011 @ 6:10pmI love Star Wars (New Hope through Return of the Jedi, I can't bring myself to accept Episode 1-3 as canonical), but I have grown tired of George Lucas and Lucasfilm. One lesson I learned as a child was sometimes exercising your rights is not the right thing to do.

Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,that the movie industry -- the /real/ industry, not the few independents you highlight -- wants to "connect with fans". You maintain your notions in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You're just blatantly wrong, college boy.

Re: Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,If Mike is wrong then the movie studios don't want to connect with fans, and thus their downfall is ensured.
Why would they not want to connect with fans? It's common sense in this interconnected two-way entertainment world we now live in.
known coward, 11 Jul 2011 @ 12:34pm
Re: Re: Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,But the Initial poster�s basic point is correct. While one would think that any industry that sells to consumers would not go out of its way to piss its customers off, the entertainment industry certainly seems to re double it�s efforts to bite the hand that feeds it.
The Brooklyn bar thing is a perfect example. They were going to show all the movies in one sitting and not charge for the movies. Lucas gets nothing so he attempts to can it. Now 200 or so Brooklynites do not get to sit around talking about Star wars and whether jar jar blinks is a better character than wookie or not.
Now the article in the paper I read (NY POST) stated the C&D letter stated that the bar was charging admission and that was why they did not give permission. The C&D was received 2 days before the show date so the bar cancelled it. I wonder if they sent an email back saying since they were not charging they were going to show it, and make sure it arrived a day or two after the showing what the result would have been.

Re: Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,"Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,that the movie industry -- the /real/ industry, not the few independents you highlight -- wants to "connect with fans"."
Reading comprehension failing you again. The argument is not that they *want* to connect with fans, but that they *should*. Here we have another example as to why they should - this has achieved nothing and saved no sales, but has pissed off a crowd of actual fans who may no longer be in line to buy their new product. When they lose money due to this failure, they don't get to scream "piracy" because the people they pissed off don't want their product any more.
Sadly, George Lucas should know this. He made his fortune by connecting with fans and made far more money from the merchandising rights (previously considered almost worthless) than the actual films. He seems to have forgotten how to service his audience in recent years.
Eugene (profile), 9 Jul 2011 @ 10:27am
Re: Re: Maybe you ought to re-examine your premise,This is very true - Lucas pioneered making Comic Con a venue for showing off upcoming action/sci-fi movies, knowing that this was the place where potential fans of the genre would congregate. People take it for granted now and studios complain that it's not as effective as it appears, but that kind of wonderful oversaturation wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the get Lucas intelligently marketed A New Hope. A real movie studio sure as hell wouldn't have thought to do that. Lucas did though, because he recognized that completing the film was just step one.
Unfortunately, today Lucas has found himself on the other side of the Hollywood line, looking at fans as a cynical source of revenue rather than a actual people to connect with. Indeed, Lucasfilm is pretty much worse than Hollywood at this point. And he's so heavily protected, so separated from reality and buffered with assistants and producers and lawyers, he probably doesn't even realize it.

A perfect example...... of culture being locked down through copyright.
Lucasfilms could have handled this SOOOO much better. They could have stepped up and sponsored the event, arranged an appearance or two, set up some booths of "Official Merchandise" and made some money off this free event, and whatever else to make it profitable for them and something truly special.
It's shameful how lawyers, greed, and bad law have completely ruined the world of entertainment and all the joy it SHOULD bring.

They definitely handled this wrong. They should have just offered them some sort of discounted fee so they could protect their copyright and still let it happen. It is events like this that keep the franchise going (and all kinds of scifi and comic conventions)...

PRISM - Action/Scifi Film!
Although the acting is bad and the special effects although technically well done lack some creativity, the fact that a group of people could make that and put it on Youtube and people can watch it for free all over the world without geocraplocking or limitations is just blows the mind.
I don't know the copyright terms in that movie, but if they can do it so can other, fans of movies should band together and start forming groups to finance and produce their own free versions like it happened in music with.
Maybe something like PLORK but for movies.
It is time to move away from those stupid people.
Every single geek should find artists that are in favor of this and start making derivative works of them, and sending them whatever they could sell, every geek should be a salesman and representative authorized or not for free-artists and should help them flourish and speed the process up.

Enigmatic, 8 Jul 2011 @ 8:07pm
If we let the flood gates open...I think the point Lucasfilm is making here is not to stop fans from being able to see the movie, or the fact that they would be seeing it for free, but the fact that allowing this would open the flood gates to allow anyone to show it at any time anywhere.
So they have to ask people to cease and desist, otherwise it would be an open slather. Considering they are in the process of re-releating it in 3D at the movies in the near future, its in their best interests to now have it open to the public.
Good on them for protecting their god given rights! Its a shame for those wanting to see it, but you should be blaming those who would take advantage of other peoples work, not those trying to protect it.

That Anonymous Coward, 8 Jul 2011 @ 10:28pm"says that there's a ban on public display of the film right now."
Was this just meant to cover parts 1-3 to save us form the schlock that was built out of the carcass of the original films?
Or are you busily digitally changing JarJar into something non-threatening non-offensive, like a walkie talkie that shoots bullets?
In their defense, it was only 200 fans this time. If they had looked away the next time would have been 2000 fans and they would loose control of the entire Star Wars world!
The evil evil people who just wanted to share something they loved with others would have turned it into a orgy of murder as the movies were shown without paying Lucas!
Hopefully someday the fans will get tired of playing Tina to Lucasfilms Ike, and just walk away. Think you could get his attention if not a single one of the over priced licensed doohickeys sold for a year?

Stop reworking your old movies and do something original,you hyped up HACK.
Anonymous Coward, 9 Jul 2011 @ 3:00amHow dare LucasFilm try to stop people from showing their movies for free. Everyone should be able to watch these movies anytime, anywhere, completely free of charge. I don't understand what the problem is, they must really not want fans.

Re: Considering they are fans, dont you think they all already own these movies on VHS, DVD and even got their handson the Star Wars Christmas Special?But in the end, all that counts for naught. The statutory penalties for just one instance of copyright infringement are so many orders of magnitude greater than all the money they spent on those legitimate copies, that they might as well not have bothered.

Anonymous Coward, 9 Jul 2011 @ 5:16amMy guess would be that Mr Lucas didnt send that letter. The lawyers did and they probably did it without his prior knowledge. This is what happens when you get lawyers involved.
ASTROBOI, 9 Jul 2011 @ 5:43amWhile I question the point of the showing since real fans probably have their own copies anyway, I also question if they did anything wrong. If I screen my dvd copy of the movie and invite some friends, am I not in the clear? If I live in a hotel room and I do the same, am I not still legal? Now if I invite so many friends that they won't fit in my room, can I not legally rent the party room and hold my private party which involves showing my legal copy of the movie? When do I go from legal to illegal? When I show it outside my own room? When I invite too many people? And how many people are allowed? 10? 50? I once read that a movie company would "allow" you to invite relatives but unrelated friends were forbidden....they had to buy their own copy. So what if each of the people attending had brought their dvds with them? Where do you draw the line? I always thought you got into trouble when you started charging money or allowing strangers to attend. Guess not.

Re:Its been a while since I saw an FBI warning but I thought it said you could not have a public performance of the content.
While they might have had the "right" to do what they did, in not looking for a way to keep it legal and make the fans happy they shot themselves in the foot.
Imagine if everyone checked a disc out of redbox and then invited the whole neighborhood over, no one there would ever rent that movie or go out and buy it ever! Movie theatres would collapse, the popcorn industry would fail, blood would rain from the skies!

Seth Mcfarland...Seth Mcfarland of Family Guy got to interview Lucas based on the spoofs that were created for Family Guy. You could tell McFarland was in ecstasy just being in Lucas' presence. Despite my feelings about what he has done to the franchise, I think I would feel the same.
McFarland tells Lucas that he loves his films and he has all of them on DVD. Lucas replies that he loves Family Guy and has all the episodes on Tivo... At that point Mcfarland maintained his grace but you can see his expression twist from awe to "WTF? Seriously? Tivo? I buy your movies and you copy my TV show? Lucas was totally shameless about this... A little continuity please Mr. Lucas.

Eugene (profile), 9 Jul 2011 @ 10:16amMaybe the lawyers were just trying to help them. I mean, 13 hours - that suggests they were going to *shudder* watch the prequels as well. If I was a lawyer for Lucasfilm, I know I'd be working overtime to make sure every star wars marathon began with Hope and ended with Jedi. And if they wanted to watch anything beyond that, maybe include Genndy Tartovsky's clone wars miniseries as well.

That's how it's always worked, folks. Otherwise a bar could show a free movie every week and make money selling booze. If movie theatres could show movies for free and just make money on concessions, they probably would. A private performance is another matter.
This doesn't apply if the movie is Sita Sings the Blues.

Twenty-one years after the King of Late Night retired from NBC's "The Tonight Show," Johnny Carson is back on television, thanks to Turner Classic Movies' new weekly series, "Carson on TCM," which premieres at 5 p.m. Monday.
TCM will air selected interviews this month featuring some of the biggest stars who appeared during Carson's 30 years behind the desk at "The Tonight Show." Most of these interviews have not been seen in their entirety since they originally aired.
Unabashed Carson fan Conan O'Brien, the host of TBS' late-night "Conan" series whose short-lived stint as the host of "The Tonight Show" ended in 2010, emcees the 25 interviews that will be shown. They include a debonair Fred Astaire in a 1979 chat, one of Henry Fonda's last TV interviews from 1980, a wild 1981 encounter with Robin Williams, and a flirtatious Elizabeth Taylor, who made her only appearance on the show in 1992.
The highlights of Monday's premiere episode feature Carson making 7-year-old Drew Barrymore feel so at home in a 1982 interview that she takes out her bridge to reveal her missing front teeth. Tough guy Kirk Douglas lets down his guard when Carson asks him about his affairs in a freewheeling 1988 interview.
Though there have been many successful late-night hosts since Carson's era — including Jay Leno, who took over the reins from Carson and will be relinquishing them next year to Jimmy Fallon — nobody has really duplicated the magic that made Carson, who died in 2005 at age 79, so special.
"The thing about Carson is that he had all the exemplary skills needed for a late-night host," said Ron Simon, curator of the Paley Center for Media in New York City. "Everyone who has followed has skills, but they don't have every skill. Probably the most difficult skill is the ability to interview someone and be passionate about it and elicit responses you haven't heard before. Carson was a master of that."
Charlie Tabesh, TCM's senior vice president of programming, who grew up watching Carson, said that he's developed a mythical aura.
"Nobody could touch him," he said. "He was the only late-night game in town."
One of Tabesh's favorite interviews, airing July 15, is a 1975 visit with Ronald Reagan, who had just completed his two terms as governor of California.
"He's obviously a movie star — we feature him on TCM — but he doesn't talk about movies at all," said Tabesh. "He talks about politics. He's sort of laying his platform [for the presidency] out there. It's interesting to see that as a time capsule."
Peter Jones, who produced the 2012 "American Masters" documentary "Johnny Carson: King of Late Night," approached TCM about doing a series of extended Carson interviews.
"Johnny Carson was a big fan of TCM," Jones said.
"After watching so many of the interviews [for the documentary], I thought people needed to see Johnny doing what he did best," he said.
"What came out of Johnny Carson's mouth was truly a reaction to what he had just heard," Jones said. "He was absolutely in the moment with the person he was talking to. Over and over, people told me when I interviewed them they did forget about the camera, the audience of 500 and the audience of 15 million on TV when they were talking to this guy who made them feel so comfortable."
The series is a joint effort between Jones and Jeff Sotzing, Carson's nephew, who is the president of Carson Entertainment Group, which controls Carson's archive.
Carson, said Sotzing, never thought his legacy would endure.
"We used to talk about how we could preserve the library, and he told me once, 'Make guitar picks out of it. Nobody is going to watch it.' I said, 'No, they will.' "
After the series concludes, the interviews will be used as interstitial programming on the cable network. And next year, Tabesh promises, "we are going to premiere a new batch of 25."
"Carson on TCM" airs at 5 p.m. Mondays in July on TCM.

City issues 30 single-family permits in January
The construction and building industry is showing signs of upward movement as the City of Rolla's Community Development Department issued 30 new single-family permits in the month of January 2013.
The 30 permits for new construction represents $3.7 million generated in construction costs and $25,131 generated in permit fee revenue.
As another indicator that the single-family home construction market is increasing, the Community Development Department conducted 817 inspections, including mostly building inspections for new construction with the rest being code inspections.
In January 2012, only 339 inspections were conducted.
"There has been a significant increase in building activity in the Rolla area throughout the month of January 2013, which is clearly reflected by the quantity of permits issued and inspections conducted," said John Petersen, Director of Community Development. "We should continue to see an upward trend in building activity as we head into spring and more favorable building conditions."
For more information or to schedule a building inspection or code inspection, contact the Community Development Department at 364-5333.

Nettwerk, Topspin Show: Give People A Reason To Buy... And Many Of Them Come Through
from the some-data dept
Topspin, of course, has built up a platform to better enable artists to both connect with fans and to give them a reason to buy, and has been able to work with some fantastic artists, both big and small, including Eminem, Paul McCartney, the Beastie Boys, Metric, Beck, Van Hunt, David Byrne and a bunch of others as well. The exciting thing is the level of success Topspin has found with these artists:
- The average transaction price across all Topspin artists has been $22. Compare that to the average price of a CD, which remains between $12 and $14. If you give people a reason to buy, they're willing to pay more. It's obviously not just about "getting stuff for free" as some contend.
- Even better, two separate artists using TopSpin have found that their average transaction price is between $50 and $100.
- Finally, one artist using Topspin has found (amazingly) that the average transaction price from what was being offered was greater than $100.
- And, on top of that, on one recent project, they found that 84% of the orders were premium offers (meaning above the lowest tier).
The second experiment was the "pay on your way out" concert tour. Realistically speaking, this was a series of ten "free" shows. You could get in for free, but they asked you to pay what you felt was reasonable on the way out. Given the insistence by people that fans just want something for free, you would expect that very few would actually pay anything at all. Of course, that wasn't what happened.
Terry was kind enough to share with us some data from the experiment. Despite being free to come and go without paying anything, 63% of people attending ended up donating money on the way out. Now I'm sure some folks will mock this and say that he could have made more by charging everyone, but it seems quite likely that a lot more people came out to these free shows than if he had made people pay in advance. Almost two thirds of people ended up paying, totally voluntarily -- and their average donation was $6. Again, some will claim that this is low, but you have to look at the bigger overall picture. During this tour each of the two K-OS CDs were separately in the top 50 list of best sellers.
So, he gave a series of free shows that ended up bringing in tens of thousands of dollars combined (average attendance at each show was approximately 1,000 people) and it helped get a lot of people to buy both the CDs that were being offered in support of K-OS. Some people are going to nitpick the numbers, of course, but the evidence remains clear again: it's not that fans just want stuff for free. If you give them a reason to buy, an awful lot of them will absolutely buy.

Great array of colors
Colorful and not overpowering, with an understated dramatic look. I have this piece in several colors, and wear them often. The black is the most versatile, of course.

The monitor needs a special metal plate fixed to the stand in order to be VESA compatible. After calls to LG hotline, the replacement parts hotline, the distribution hotline and the replacement parts distribution hotline it turns out this part is not available anywhere and nobody even knows of it. The nicest part though was when I told the man that the device is several years old. He immediately lost interest and hung up. Nice. Thanks, LG.
Whooops. I had that weird plate in my package all along. This wrapped. Sorry, LG. All I can blame you for is no longer having replacement parts after... roughly 5 years.

Tropical Storm Boris heads toward Mexico's coast
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Boris formed off Mexico's Pacific coast Tuesday and headed for an expected overnight landfall with heavy rains, leading authorities to evacuate seaside and mountain neighborhoods vulnerable to floods and mudslides.
Forecasters predicted torrential rains for the southern coastal states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.
The Chiapas state civil defense office said that it had evacuated about 300 people around the coastal community of Arriaga by Tuesday afternoon and that further evacuations could be made. The state cancelled school in many areas, and mud and rockslides were reported on some state roads.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Boris was centered about 85 miles (140 kilometers) east-southeast of Salina Cruz late Tuesday. It was moving north at about 5 mph (7 kph) and had maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph (65 kph).
The center predicted the storm would begin weakening once ashore and said it probably would dissipate Wednesday night.
Boris could drop as much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain over southern Mexico, creating the risk of deadly floods and mudslides, the center said. Even heavier amounts of rain could be seen in some places, it warned.
A tropical storm warning was in effect in southern Mexico from Salina Cruz to Mexico's border with Guatemala.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How will my graduate program and studies differ from my undergraduate?
Answer: You will notice three major differences in your graduate program than what you experienced in your undergraduate program. First, your undergraduate program provided you with a well-rounded education that included general education courses and broader based courses in your major or area of study. In your graduate program, your coursework will be much more focused with an in-depth study of field in which your graduate degree is based upon. Second, in your undergraduate work, you concentrated on knowledge that is already known and been proven. In your graduate work, you will move towards adding to an existing body of knowledge through research and projects that consider unproven theories. Last, you will notice a difference in your relationship with your faculty. In your graduate program, expect to have more extensive involvement from your faculty. You will have faculty sponsors when it comes to research and projects.
Question: What is a Plan of Work?
Answer: A Plan of Work is an outline of courses that a graduate student plans to take. The Plan should be completed with the student's advisor during the first session of attendance. The plan helps students keep on track of their educational goal and aids the University in appropriately scheduling classes.
Question: I've heard a lot about certifications and/or licensing in my field of study, but am unsure who to talk to regarding whether such certification is right for me.
Answer: It is best to contact your Department Chair who can either directly help or provide you with contact information. Department Chairs and faculty are listed in the graduate catalog which is available on the portal.
Question: Are graduate internships available?
Answer: In most of Davenport University's graduate programs either an internship or practicum is an option. If interested, contact both your advisor and your Department Chair.
Question: How long do I have to complete my degree?
Answer: Beginning at the completion of the first master's degree-relevant course, the graduate student has a six-year time limit to complete the requirements for a master's degree. If a student fails to complete these requirements within this time period, all credits will be reevaluated.
Question: When should I begin graduation preparation?
Answer: Two semesters before anticipated graduation, the student should meet with his or her advisor. The advisor will provide information on Grad Salute and application for graduation, as well as information regarding who to see for career services help.

Defending Alice Munro
Much as I am in awe of Munro's best stories, I am also extremely wary of any discourse that builds up around a writer to make them seem impervious to criticism. This is perhaps Lorentzen's best claim — that Munro has been too much worshipped and too little evaluated. It does our understanding of her achievement no service to surround every sentence she writes with awe. Habitual praise is meaningless.
The critical writing about Munro that I most appreciate is the type that really digs into what she's doing and its effects. I found Lorentzen's approach annoying not because he doesn't like Munro's work, but because his dislike prohibits him from understanding the subtleties and complexities of the texts, making his writing a narrow expression of personal taste and ultimately a demonstration of his own obtuseness. Everybody has writers whose work they don't "get" — writers who, for whatever reason of tone or style or topic, we bounce off of. Such writers are the hardest for any critic to write about in a constructive or insightful way, because our response is too individual, too blinding. Lorentzen's expression of distaste for the stories of Alice Munro is perfect evidence of this: the review says little of use about Munro and instead paints a (rather unappealing) portrait of Lorentzen as a reader.
Really, the fact that Lorentzen read ten of Munro's collections in a row should immediately disqualify him from rational conversation about her work, because while it might be an interesting exercise to see what happens when you cram 45 years of a writer's words into your brain, it's hardly going to lead to a nuanced appreciation of their skill. Anything consumed quickly and in large quantities is likely to lead to nausea. I especially think short stories should not be read in gulps, and even if some short stories do benefit from such an approach, Munro's most certainly do not.
Kyle Minor has not been nauseated from gorging himself on the rich feast of Munro's fiction, and so his defense of her work is well done: specific, detailed, thoughtful, informed. These two paragraphs, for instance, offer a good example of the virtues of his method:
By 1998, the year of the publication of "The Love of a Good Woman," Munro had begun to mute the way the new kinds of stories wore their form like an exoskeleton, and created a series of stories in which the freedom the previous two books had opened could now be stretched out into in more organic ways, a development that reached its crescendo in "Hateship, Friendship's" "The Bear Came Over the Mountain," a novel compressed into 40-some pages in which, as Lorentzen tells it, "a woman with dementia forgets her husband and directs her affections toward another resident." "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" is Munro's crowning achievement, a story in which a writer is operating without a net, in absence of constraints, offering in greatest fullness a character for whom ordinary consciousness has been transmuted into some other thing, a story whose only rival in this regard is "Pale Horse, Pale Rider," Katherine Anne Porter's novella of the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918.Minor's worst tendency is his fondness for grandiose statements*, but he knows Munro's work well and, most importantly, has the kind of sympathy for it that allows him to write intelligent analysis. Sympathy is certainly not required for intelligent analysis, as critical insight can sometimes result from fierce antipathy, but Lorentzen's antipathy is too idiosyncratic to overcome his uncomprehending bluster and lead him toward insight.
Throughout the years she was writing "Friend of My Youth," "Open Secrets," "The Love of a Good Woman" and "Hateship, Friendship," Munro was making history, culture, power and time her subjects. Lorentzen complains that "people's residential and familial histories" come up "all the time in the stories … details she never leaves out," without understanding that these are the details that accumulate, that the characters gnaw on until they explode like fireworks at story's end, where, as in Chekhov's best story, "Gusev," we realize that the story is an avatar of all the world's other stories, and that the song of the individual is given to grandeur in part because of the way it connects to all the music that came before and all the music that will come after. In this regard, sometimes Munro seems to have made a single dyspeptic organism of the whole universe.
*"Gusev" is Chekhov's best story, "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" is Munro's story's "only rival in this regard" — as if "Gusev" is not one among quite a few examples of Chekhov at his best in different ways, and as if Minor has read every story ever written and therefore knows that only Porter was Munro's rival.

What do you think the odds are of TTGL getting some sort of continuation? Be it a movie, another OVA, second season...
Think about EVA, it's still popular to this day, with a seemingly never ending supply of sequels and such. I'd just hope that Viral would be concluded, but I guess a majority of that chance will depend of the outcome of the next episode.

I am going with my own theory..
Future GARlock, the apprentice of Simon.
Gimmy looks like a cool candidate, but with different VA and different hair color, kinda blew it away... and yeah, is this guy mid 30s!?
GARlock (real name currently unknown) is the kid Simon was teaching how to use a drill in the epilogue. At some point later the kid found a core drill while digging around an old ruin. Simon quickly becomes his master and teach him the spirit of the true man along with how to use Spiral Energy. Before he died GARly and meet with Nia, he entrusted the kid to Boota. He of course gave Boota his spiral power before he died, Boota transform to be Shouta Aide again.
The kid (currently unnamed) and Boota travel together as comrade all over the world gaining new allies and reviving fallen technology such as Dai-Gurren and re-form the team under the name of Gurren-dan. He gets to meet the old characters such as Yoko, Reitei etc. His journey will be in manga version, where he discovered the true meaning of the bible that Rossui used to hold and the true way to stop Spiral Nemesis. We will get to see him journey across Universe visiting several planets as the truth unfold.
Later he reunites with Chou Ginga Gurren and quickly becomes its leader known as GARlock. His story is yet to be told...
Above is my theory; let's look at other theory:
Popular Theory 1: Its all but Boota's dream - from my watch its pretty clear to me that Boota was fully aware whats happening when Anti-Spiral cast Sleepga on him. Besides.. whats the point of having some random scene be a prologue.
Popular Theory 2: Its Gimmy. Putting the fact that I don't think Gimmy has big enough balls aside, the VA voice (in credit list) and the hair color is totally different. There is also a possibility that Gimmy might use Science to stop himself thus cut off all the possibility of changing VA by aging. If you calculate it real quick Gimmy was probably ~14 before the time skip, after that he must be 34!! He still looks really young for some reason.

Evidence that the prologue could take place after GL27:
1. Old Simon makes the metallic noises when he kneels.
2. Boota is still alive, and old enough to become the sub-commander now.
3. Tetsukan, who is in the prologue, is likely still alive. Unless he died of a heart attack from eating all those hamburgers.
4. Lord Genome, Nia, Kamina and Kittan are dead, if they were alive they'd probably be on the Chou Ginga bridge with Garlock.
5. Rossiu is still president of the planet, he probably won't be leaving anytime soon.
6. The "Great Dimensional Government" might come into being. Personally, I always imagined them as an omnipotent, super-advanced foe, and who is to say the other Spiral worlds are not more developed than Earth? We have yet to see the limits of the Milky Way Galaxy - the Anti-Spirals stopped evolving, their power was capped at one point. Spiral power is unlimited, a much more dangerous foe in the long run. If the "Galactic Peace Conference" breaks down, there might be coming infighting.
7. Chou Ginga Dai Gurren has modifications, notably multiple towers. It is also more technologically advanced than before, for the first time humanity looks to be surpassing Lord Genome's era of technology. Chou Ginga could be nearly destroyed then rebuilt.
8. Lagann/Gurren are still around, Lagann clearly is with Garlock.
9. Core Drill still around.
10. Uniforms of epilogue more closely resemble prologue's than Arc III.
The only three issues begin with Simon's attitude versus Garlock. Garlock is cocky, doesn't act like he just survived the fall of the galaxy (not unlike Obi-wan Kenobi) in Old Simon's case, but like he took it down personally and and the countless enemies of outer space are no sweat in comparison. I don't think this is too much of a problem because once Simon gets his coat back he'll get his normal confident attitude back as well, that the transition to Gar status won't be too tough.
Next issue is the flag colour. Chou Ginga uses the Daiganzan's old flag, which has black shades. Prologue Chou Ginga has white glasses, like a normal Gurren Gang flag. Coupled with the different bridge and Daiganzan cannons, this could be a different, smaller ship, though I don't think so, I think it's just a modded version of the normal Chou Ginga.
Final issue is most important - age! Boota is twenty seven now, and looks it in the prologue. But Simon is old! Spiral power could easily make him young again but this remains an outstanding question. Of course, Simon's got the experience of Harlock now so the look + attitude might go together. Harlock doesn't look so old though.

I don't really see it as an obssession, as momentary naivity. I think Gimmy's role in that scene was to voice the assumed reaction of the audience to what was happening, which gave Simon a chance to do his last little speech before taking off. It was also interesting how the ring ended up at Yoko's feet only for her to toss it back.

I third this, it makes the most sense. And wasn't it hinted that the opening scene was from an alternative world.
I really think Simon's story is done but obviously he will live on in all his friend's hearts.

Except, it doesn't make sense because -
1. Boota is young in his alleged "dream" but old in the prologue.
2. Scenes from episode eleven were one of the featured "alternate universes".
3. Whose desire was it for Rossiu + Simon to turn into adventurers? Or for Nia + Yoko into trapeze artists? Or Naota to play his guitar?
Those lines of light Simon pulled down were alternate possibilities of his OWN life, not of anyone else's. Yoko got to see her's in Kamina's TV - even then, are they "desires"? Simon kissing Leeron was probably not one of them, but you never know...

You missed my point.
The scene of Boota evolving was the dream, Helix King remarks evolution of that sort shouldn't occur in such a short period of time. When we see Boota again, he's by himself on the bridge as a shota again, implying THAT was the dream - he was dreaming of being human on the bridge.
If Boota being a human was possible in the real world, we would have seen him as a human in the hyper spiral space where Genome got his body back.
Anti-Spiral's voodoo affects intelligent beings, not necessarily human shaped ones. Genome is just a head, not a human anymore, yet he got affected - Boota was likely the same way.
And finally, "Garlock" appears in one of SIMON's visions, not Boota.

i don't think that the clip from ep one is real or part of bootas dream because in ep 26 when simon has all those alternate univeres around him you can see the clip from episode one where captain garlock is walking onto the bridge but you have to freeze frame it.
Like they said though if they do extend the Gurren Lagann universe it'll be with new charcters and settings, so i'm thinking an OVA that focuses on Gimmy and Darry with any of the following enemies or scenarios
1.New enemy
2.More anti-spirals
3.war between spiral beings over the spiral nemisis
either way i expect the siral nemisis to be some part of it wich is why i am leaning to a more orginal characters and settings but i could bewrong. So here is my idea.
Set possibly on a colonised planet some years after the epilouge, most likley when all the orginal cast except for gimmy, darry and viral are dead, a young boy is given the core drill for the gurren lagann when his planet is attacked by any of the enemies listed above. The OVA will be about three or six episodes long and i expect Simon to feature in some way or another because seeing as lord genome could make someone immortal with his level of technology i wouldn't be suprised if they could make themselves younger or transfer their minds to cloned bodies with the technology we saw in the epilouge.
I'm hoping that Simon will become like Kamina was to him and then simon will probably die in a Gar scene.
Still i could be wrong again it's possible that the boy that simon was talking to will become the protagonist for any spinoff they make.
Also as a side note the multiringed iris my have another part to play as a sign of a truly awakend spiral being, Lord genome had, them Kittan had them and Simon had one in the epilouge.

Key Maps
Wing ships with several keyboard maps found at the top level of the Wing IDE installation, including keymap.normal, keymap.emacs, keymap.vi, and others. These are used as default key maps for the corresponding editor personalities, as set with the User Interface > Keyboard > Keyboard Personality preference.
In order to develop an entirely new key binding, or in other cases where the Custom Key Bindings preference is not sufficient, it is possible to create a custom key map and use it as your default map through the Key Map File preference.
In a key map file, each key equivalent is built from names listed in the Key Names section. These names can be combined as follows:
- A single unmodified key is specified by its name alone, for example 'Down' for the down arrow key.
- Modified keys are specified by hyphenating the key names, for example 'Shift-Down' for the down arrow key pushed while shift is held down. Multiple modifiers may also be specified, as in 'Ctrl-Shift-Down'.
- Special modifiers are defined for Vim mode: Visual, Browse, Insert, and Replace. These correspond with the different editor modes, and will only work if the Keyboard Personality preference has been set to VI/Vim.
- Multi-key combinations can be specified by listing multiple key names separated by a space. For example, to define a key equivalent that consists of first pushing ctrl-x and then pushing the a key by itself, use 'ctrl-x a' as the key sequence.
The command portion of the key equivalency definition may be any of the commands listed in section Command Reference. See the examples below for usage options.
Here is an example of adding a key binding for a command. If the command already has a default key binding, both bindings will work:
'Ctrl-X P': 'debug-attach'
This example removes a key equivalent entirely:
'Ctrl-C Ctrl-C': None
These can be combined to changes the key binding for a command without retaining its default key binding:
'Ctrl-C Ctrl-C': None 'Ctrl-G': 'debug-continue'
Wing always retains only the last key binding for a given key combination. This example binds Ctrl-X to 'quit' and no other command:
'Ctrl-X': 'debug-stop' 'Ctrl-X': 'quit'
If multiple commands are specified separated by commas, Wing executes the first command that is available. For example, the following will either restart the debug process whether or not one is currently running:
'Ctrl-X': 'debug-restart, debug-continue'
Command arguments can be specified as part of the binding. Any unspecified arguments that do not have a default will be collected from the user in a dialog or in the data entry area at the bottom of the IDE window:
'Ctrl-X P': 'show-panel(panel_type="debug-probe")'
If Keyboard Personality is set to VI/Vim, modifiers corresponding to the editor modes restrict availability of the binding to only that mode:
'Visual-Ctrl-X': 'cut'

Back in mid-May, I went on a 3-week vacation with O to Vietnam and Japan. It was his first time in Vietnam, my first time meeting his dad AND our first long international trip alone together. No pressure, right? :) Nah, we had such a blast (despite a few mishaps here and there). It was definitely a food trip for us. We (well, mainly me) made a list of all the food and/or places we wanted to eat in each location we stayed at. And needless to say, we almost hit 10 out of 10 spots. The weather was great most of the time (we caught the beginning of the raining season), and we got to enjoy some beautiful beaches in both countries. It's been over a month since we came back and I'm STILL craving/missing the food we ate, especially in Japan.
Below are some photos I took (I decided not to bring my DLSR this time and took everything on my iPhone 4s). For the rest of the photos from the trip, click here. You will see that 90% of my photos were of the food we ate. Can't you tell that I want to become a foodie? :-)

Company Making Cab/Limo Rides More Efficient Ordered To Stop
from the regulatory-mess dept
In the latest example, a company named Ubercab, which lets you use your mobile device to hire a car service/limo (not a taxi) on the go, and handle all the payment through the device, has been ordered to cease & desist. The details are not entirely clear in that report, but it appears the complaint is that this service turns car service/limos into "unlicensed" cabs. Most rules forbid car services from "picking up" rides on the fly. Instead you have to book them ahead of time. But Ubercab allows you to book them on the fly. From what I can tell, it's more expensive than a cab, but cheaper than a normal car service (which makes sense). Now, the SF Metro Transit Authority & the Public Utilities Commission of California, who sent the cease & desist will almost certainly claim it's a "safety issue" or some such nonsense. But, the reality is that it's an attempt to limit competition.
Of course, all this has really done is give Ubercab that much more attention, which they're milking (as they should -- hello Streisand Effect). They're refusing to cease and desist and appear to be poised to fight this. One of the company's founders/investors has said that they'll hire any taxi dispatcher who's fired, though I'm not entirely clear how that fits. If their service focuses on car services/limos, what's that got to do with taxi dispatchers? Either way, this does seem like a case where yet another bureaucracy, fueled by regulatory capture by the industry it regulates, is seeking to block out innovative competition.

Use these resources to teach students about folklore, have them analyze folktales that have been passed down from one generation to the next, and tell one of their own!
- Tempera paint
- Markers
- Flour/water mixture (equal parts)
- Cotton balls
- Colored pipe cleaners
- Plastic googIy eyes
- Cookie sheet, covered in tinfoil
Developing Skills
- Letter-recognition
- Oral-language
- Fine-motor
- Imagination
Step 1: Introduce this activity by reading insect stories with children. Engage children in a discussion about insects to find out what they already know. As you read, point out the various body parts of the bugs, or count the number of legs and antennae. Observe the different shapes, sizes, and colors. Record the number of body parts, legs, antennae, and eyes on a large chart to refer to later. Explain to children that they will create their own insects and write special stories about them.
Step 2: Using the suggested materials, model how to dip a cotton ball into the flour and water mixture and place it onto the tinfoil-covered cookie sheet. Show children how to gently place the cotton balls next to each other so they will stick together when cooking. Allow children the freedom to build and use the cotton balls creatively.
Step 3: Once the cotton balls are on the cookie sheet, invite children to use the cut pipe cleaners to represent legs and antennae.
Step 4: Place the "bugs" in an oven at 350° for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Step 5: Invite children to paint their insects with tempera paint and glue on plastic googly eyes.
Step 6: Help children write insect stories by asking some specific questions to help them focus. What is the name of their bug? Where does it live? What is its favorite food? Does it have special powers or abilities?
Remember: The process of creating is much more important than the finished product. Encourage children to use their creativity. They may decide their insect should have ten legs and four eyes!
Take-Home Activity
Send home children's completed bugs with a note asking parents to sit down as a family and create a bug story together. Start with an opening sentence. Invite each family member to add a line as the story grows. Suggest that one parent record the dictated story, so that, when completed, it can be read aloud.
Curriculum Connection: Art
Draw an oval on printer paper. Write a key at the bottom of the page so children have a reference to use and check off. (For example: 6 legs__; 2 eyes__; 2 antennae__.) Make a copy for each child. Make dice marked with the numbers 0,1, 2, and 3. Invite each child to roll one die and draw that many body parts. This game can be played individually or with a partner.

Terri's Notes
Add any of these to kick it up or make into a salad:
8 ounces rotini (corkscrew) pasta, cooked and cooled
10 to 12 medium basil leaves, torn into pieces
cucumber, chopped
More Notes:
Instead of the oil, vinegar and seasonings, I use Newman's Own lite Balsamic Vinaigrette. It's wonderful!
In a pretty bowl, mix mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add salt, pepper and garlic to taste, adding more vinegar if desired. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tastes even better the next day!
To make it a nice salad or an entire meal, add the pasta!

Celine Dion has opened up about her 18-year marriage to her husband and manger, Rene Angelil, insisting they suffered some real lows before learning to communicate with one another properly.
The French Canadian superstar, who is currently taking part in her second concert residency in Las Vegas, admits working and living with her spouse has been difficult at times and their relationship almost broke down completely in 2006.
The singer tells Vegas Deluxe reporter Robin Leach, "Rene and I had our tough times. It wasn't always easy.
"We had tension between us. It's never easy being husband and wife, but add to that we are in business together, dealing with all the added pressures of shows, concerts, tours, traveling. It was hard – a lot of hard work."
She claims it was only after she turned to a friend for relationship advice that she and Angelil were able to work through their problems because "up until seven years ago, we weren't communicating properly."
Dion, 45, explains, "She taught me it (problems) never goes away. It sits there and gets worse. She taught me how to say things the right way. It's (sic) lessons that every married couple should know to hold their relationship together. …
"It changed the way we related to each other. (Now) we laugh. We joke. We kid each other. We want our marriage to last forever. Talk over everything and you'll find you are still on the honeymoon. … Communication – it's the most important. It's the secret."
Dion met Angelil when she was just 12 years old and he was 38, but they didn't start dating until she was 19.
They wed in 1994 and have three children together.

I am new to bento making and I was wondering about the punches used to make designs in seaweed sheets. I know you can order the punches from JBox but what has me curious is what is the difference between the decorative punches that JBox sells for Bento versus the decorative punches you can find in craft stores for scrapbooking?From the picture they look identicle. If you get a new decorative scrapbook punch and wash it thoroghly can it be used in the same manner with no negative side effects? Just something I was wondering about seeing as there are a lot of neat scrapbook punches readily available where I live and I could save money buying them and not having to pay shipping...
I have both, and they are identical. I can use the nori punches on paper, and I've used my scrapbooking punches on the nori.
The only difference is the name or the shape.
I did find that the nori is too fragile for the really intricate punches though (I tried a snowflake punch, and the nori just disintegrated)
I think that most punches for nori have plastic cutting parts, while paper punches have metal cutting parts.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
The nori ones I picked up are meta, but I did get one that's plastic.
Thanks for the information. I am looking forward to raiding the $1 punch bin at JoAnn's..
