Walkthrough - Translation GuideTales of Rebirth@eCY@Iu@oõX Storyline & Skits Translation Guide Version 2.13 by Lanyn My Tales of Rebirth, Tales of Destiny 2, and Tales of Destiny PS2 projects on Youtube for the curious and the bored: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lanyn COPYRIGHT NOTICE: Copyright 2010 (Esther J. Choi) Okay, I'm just going to start with the standard one: all trademarks and copyrights contained in this document are owned by their respective trademark and copyright holders. At present, this written FAQ should only be found at www.gamefaqs.com and www.supercheats.com, so I would appreciate it if you happen to notice it floating around on the internet where it shouldn't be. This FAQ and any video links contained within represent my own work unless otherwise stated. So don't plagiarize this, attempt to make a profit off of it, or turn it in as one of your term papers; if you do, bad things will happen to you (especially with that last one). UPDATE HISTORY: Version 2.12 (7-2-2010) More script polishing, updated the FAQ section, changed the spelling of Karegia to Callegea (see FAQs for details), Version 2.11 (1-8-2010) Updated copyright, changed the spelling of Sannytown to Sunnytown because I finally concluded that it was retarded to keep Bamco's Engrish spelling, smoothed over a couple of poorly translated lines, changed the name of the "Mao's Song" skits to the more accurate "Singing Mao," changed the name of Tytree's Force to the Force of Timber (again, more accurate based on the Kanji), made some small updates to the FAQs section...I still have a ton of editing that I have to do to this thing though. ;_; Version 2.10 (7-23-2009) Added FAQs section, renumbered the sections accordingly, and removed my contact email for now(check the FAQs if you're wondering why), corrected a couple of lines in the script, stole some stuff from my other FAQ and incorporated it into this one =============================================================================== Table of Contents =============================================================================== 1) About the game [ABO000] 2) How to use this guide [HOW000] 3) Frequently asked questions [FAQ000] 4) Basic controls [BAS000] a) PSP version [BASa00] i) Map Screen [BASa01] ii) Main Menu Screen [BASa02] iii) Battle Screen [BASa03] b) PS2 version [BASb00] i) Map Screen [BASb01] ii) Main Menu Screen [BASb02] iii) Battle Screen [BASb03] 5) Menu options translation [MEN000] 6) Storyline and Skits Translation [STO000] 7) Credits [CRE000] =============================================================================== 1) About the game [ABO000] =============================================================================== Tales of Rebirth (PS2) was released in Japan on December 16, 2004 as the sixth installment of the main "Tales of" series by Namco Bandai (or Bamco, as I like to call them). While the game contains many features which are staple for the series (e.g. cooking, skits, Grade), Rebirth also has its own share of quirks (e.g. Enhancement, the Force Cube, super-obsessive male protagonists). The game carries a heavy theme of racism too, so if you're one of those sensitive people, think happy thoughts and don't chuck anything at me or the screen. The PSP port of Rebirth was released in Japan on March 19, 2008, and thus far Bamco has not announced an English localization for the game. For the most part, the PSP version is a direct port of the PS2 game with some small but nice additions such as the arena and the illustration book. In any case, while there is no official English translation at the moment, there is this guide and Spekio's guide (more on the differences between the two in the next section) to help you better understand the storyline for Rebirth. Um, that pretty much sums things up, right? =============================================================================== 2) How to use this guide [HOW000] =============================================================================== First off, let me explain exactly what this guide is. This is a translation that is admittedly based on the script for the PS2 version of the game, BUT as far as I know, only two major changes to the script have been noted by players thus far (the absence of one of the word puzzles in Razilda and some dialogue after the appearance of the last dungeon). So for the most part, this guide should be accurate for BOTH versions of the game, but I will be noting any differences that I see between the 2 versions. So what makes this any different from Spekio's translation guide for the PS2 version then? Well, one thing I can say for certainty is that I stole his formatting. It's simple yet efficient; if it ain't broke, then don't fix it, right? The translation is a result of my own work though and hopefully it shows. While Spekio took the literal interpretation with his translation, I tend to prefer a more figurative approach the text. The style of translation doesn't have much of an impact when you're looking at simple sentences such as "Let's go" or "CLAAAAAAAAAIRE!!" (sorry, couldn't resist), but it can be much more noticeable when looking at complex or vague dialogue. In a nutshell, you could say that I am doing more of a localization while Spekio went more with a direct-style translation. Different strokes for different folks, that's all. Oh, I am including the translations for the Skits as well, which is no small feat, mind you. That being said though, one thing that some of you will notice is that I don't include terms such as -san or -sama in my guide. The reason being is that I want this guide to be as accessible as possible for people who don't know a single word of Japanese, and grasping the full meaning of such terms of respect requires some basic familiarity with the Japanese language and culture. And besides, those of you who do know what the difference is can surely hear the terms in the dialogue as you play the game, no? However, I didn't completely ignore the terms of respect; I simply translated them when I felt that it was either appropriate (whenever someone refers to the Queen or if two people are meeting for the first time) or unusual for the character in question (whenever Veigue refers to anyone in a respectful manner because he normally doesn't). For the most part, the script which appears here will be identical to the ones that appear in my video translations (if you don't know what I'm talking about, then check out the Youtube link that I listed at the top of this FAQ). I will be making corrections and smoothing things over as needed though (yeah, that first video was a mess...). I want to keep this guide fairly basic, but if I ever feel up to it, I may add a very simple "go here, do this" type deal so that you know how to progress the storyline. Absolutely no gameplay-related stuff though; I already have a FAQ for those types of questions (most of which applies to both versions of Rebirth). You can find it along with a bunch of other Rebirth FAQs in the PS2 section for this game on GameFAQs. =============================================================================== 3) Frequently asked questions [FAQ000] =============================================================================== Q: Do I need to know any Japanese in order to play this game? A: If you follow this guide in conjunction with Kouli's FAQ, then no, you shouldn't have any problem completing the game with no knowledge of the Japanese language (and technically, you don't even really need this guide if you don't care about the storyline). That being said though, navigating through the game is much easier if you know how to read Kana (i.e. Katakana and Hiragana) and can recognize basic Kanji. Q: Okaaay, so does that mean that I should learn Japanese or what? A: Unless you're a) planning to import more JRPGs, b) have an interest in Japan's culture, or c) have a knack for picking up languages, then I'd say no. That's a lot of effort for little return, not to mention that it's very difficult to learn a foreign language if you're not self-motivated. I mean, be honest, how many of you actually remember anything useful from when you were forced to take Spanish or whatever in school? However, if you have the time and the ambition, don't let the opinion of a jaded old fogey like me discourage you. ^_~ Q: Tell me then, why should I even bother with Rebirth? A: Because it'll change your life forever. Well, not really (unless you're an impressionable little sap like myself), but it'll definitely bring your appreciation for 2D games to a whole new level. While the game suffers from a cheesy, predictable plot like all Tales games, it has a battle system that is as engaging as it is refreshing and a memorable cast like no other. But they say that a video is worth a thousand words (or something like that), so just check out this battle footage if you don't believe me (the video's spoiler-free for your convenience): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AWvc1emKIo Plus, you can't say that you've really lived until you've heard the famous KUREAAAA scream at least once. Q: What are the differences between the PS2 version and the PSP port? A: *deep breath* First off, let me mention stuff that DIDN'T change. As far as I can tell, no changes were made to the actual battle system (except for the reconfiguration of some of the buttons, obviously). The storyline, for better or worse, made it through intact as well. There is a very small portion of dialogue that was added towards the end of the game of the PSP port, but otherwise the original script seems to have been left untouched. In other words, the script for the PSP version is practically the same as the one used for the PS2 version. Most of the bugs seem to have carried over as well (the cooking bug, the Ougis bug, etc) aside from cap on the Battle Encounter (although I doubt that qualifies as a bug, even though everyone likes to treat it like one). The Duel the Sun Extensions for the PSP port are the same except for the fact that you press the L button instead of the L2 button for the Blue Earth Extension (and yes, you still have to press all 5 buttons 11 times). For the curious, apparently Hilda performs all of the extensions by herself in ToR PSP (although you still have to have Mao in your party...whacky, I know). Let's see, good changes found in the PSP version...an arena was added (can be found in the Minal gym, but it's only accessible after the completion of all of the trials; there is no cameo battle, BTW), there are some new weapons (e.g. the Jewel of Gardios) and titles, and the game is now widescreen (which makes sense). There are also some new Hi-Ougi cut-ins for friend and foe alike, an Illustration Book (found in the basement of Claire's house at the beginning of the game), and there is now a LOAD option on the Main Menu (don't mistake this for the SAVE option!). They also changed how the saved data appears on your memory card, so the picture looks different depending on where you are in the storyline. There are now some new options in the Grade shop (thanks to RPGmonkey for posting the list for the Tales board! ^^): All Damage Halved (10 Grade), Experience Halved (100 Grade), Item Capacity 20 (1000 Grade), Item Capacity 30 (2000 Grade), and Reset Battle Encounter Number (10 Grade). Oh, they also increased the limit on the Battle Encounter since it can now go over 10,000...I have no idea what the new limit is, although I guess it really doesn't matter since they put in the new Grade Shop option there. x32 DAMAGE weapons FTW!!! In addition, the third word puzzle (the one by the flower cart that had to do with the seasons) was removed for the PSP version. You can now purchase Apple Gels, and there's a new God difficulty rank that is available on your third playthrough. Hmm, the not-so-good additions to the PSP version...the load times and the music. Not that I wasn't expecting this, but there are now some slight but noticeable load times at the start and finish of each battle. The slowdown doesn't happen every time you get in a fight though, so I don't know if there's something specific that causes it but I have yet to figure out what's triggering it. The most jarring of the delays probably revolves around the victory quotes; sometimes it takes the game several seconds to load the voices. As for the music, only two songs in particular seem to have suffered from the transfer: Battle Organization (the random encounter battle music for the first portion of the game) and Fanfare A (the one that plays when you don't earn any Grade). They're not bad persay, but it sounds like there are some instruments missing or something. I noticed that the in-game sound effects are a bit weak too, but that's just a nitpick. So which version is better, you may ask? To be honest, they're essentially the same game, but the PSP version probably has the slight advantage for most people due to the extras and the lack of region locking for the system. Most of the complaints I noted are minor and people playing the game for the first time on the PSP may not even be aware that those are issues that didn't exist in the PS2 version. My personal preference is for the PS2 version at this point, but that's more because small, expensive electronic devices and I don't get along too well. Anyway, your call. Q: Alright, I'm sold! So, uh, how do I play imports? And where can I get them? A: If you're interested in the PSP version, then you're in luck. PSP games are not region-locked (the UMD movies are, but that's a whole different story), so you can literally just pop the disc in and start playing (assuming that your firmware is up-to-date, of course). If you're looking into the PS2 version, then you basically have 3 options: Swap Magic, modding, or a Japanese PS2. The first option is probably the most common method for playing imports and is generally the least expensive; however, some people say that it wears down the laser on your system and that it can scratch your discs to hell. I've never modded my system before, so I couldn't really tell you much about that. A Japanese PS2 is likely the most expensive option, but is also the safest since you don't have to do anything special to play imports. I personally didn't encounter any problems with Swap Magic, so I'd recommend it for first time importers (just google Swap Magic and it should bring up a website that has a list of places that carry SM; the place I ordered mine from doesn't carry it anymore, so I can't recommend any of the sites personally). If you can find a JPN PS2 for a decent price though, I'd say go for it. ^^ And a note for you PS3 owners: you CANNOT play JPN PS2 games on a US PS3. While Japan and NA are in the same region for this generation of consoles, it doesn't change the fact that PS2 games still use the old region coding. As for where to get the games, it depends on what you're interested in. If it's something that's relatively new (generally not more than a year old), then Playasia is usually the first place I look: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1j3v.html I've been ordering from them for years and I haven't had any major issues with them yet (knock on wood). Just be aware that if something is listed as having an availability that's longer than 2 weeks, then there's a fairly high chance that you won't ever get it. Another alternative would be good old Flea...er, eBay, especially for the out of print stuff like ToR PS2. As always though, buyer beware with some of those sellers. Other options include himeyashop, yesasia, and deputy services such as Shopping Mall Japan, although all of these tend to be much more costly than PA and eBay. Q: I heard that the Namco's trademark for Rebirth in North America has expired. Does that mean that Rebirth has no chance of getting localized? A: I'll start off with the good news: once a trademark is registered (in the US anyway), it NEVER expires. So yes, technically this means that Rebirth will always have a chance at getting localized. So what's the bad news then? Well, right now, the trademark for Rebirth is listed as "abandoned," which is what happens when a company fails to file the appropriate paperwork and/or pay the fees associated with keeping a trademark active. Bamco has the option of activating the trademark at any time, but it's basically going to take some extra effort for them to do so. In other words, the fact that the trademark is abandoned highly suggests that Bamco has no interest in localizing Rebirth in North America any time soon. No love for Team Destiny over here, let me tell ya. Q: How long did it take for you to translate all of this anyway? A: In terms of months, about 21. In terms of hours, I have no earthly idea and I don't even want to think about it because it'll make me depressed. And I swear that one day, I'm going to go through this script again to smooth out all of the rough spots. Q: Did you change any of the official name spellings? A: This seems to be a major point of debate in the translating world as of late, so I figured that I should just address it and get it over with. I only changed 2 instances of Bamco's Engrish: Sannytown (changed it to Sunnytown) and Walto (changed it to Waltu); everything else I left alone or I had to come up with my own spellings (e.g. minor characters such as the Dark Wings). Actually, scratch that, I did change one more spelling: the name of the country. Fan translation precedent has it spelled Karegia, but in a move that will most likely prove to be wildly unpopular, I decided to change it to Callegea. So why the change, you ask? Well, the spelling is taken from this ToR novel thingie which may or may not be canon; it kinda looks like it is, but I haven't read it myself and judging from its page count, I probably never will. Anyway, at this point in time, it's the closest thing to an official spelling that I'm aware of. To be honest, I was originally going to leave it as Karegia just because that's how I'm used to seeing it spelled. However, it's always looked Engrishy to me and had I known about the novel spelling earlier, I probably would have went with Callegea to begin with. Now watch me get flambeed by the naming nazis. Q: So how much do you "spice up" the script anyway? A: I've been asked this on more than one occasion and to be honest, I'm not sure if I can give a proper response to this since I'm never going to be completely objective when evaluating my own translation...oh well, I'll try to answer the question anyway. I do my best to make sure that my interpretation of the text is justifiable; if I can't think of a single good reason to make a meaningful change to something, then I generally won't touch it (or add it, or whatever); I'm a translator, not a script writer (and thank god for that), so I personally don't like to inject humor or whatnot into a sentence if it wasn't there to begin with (note that I don't have a problem when other people decide to do this, it's just not my thing). That being said though, I will exaggerate, stress, or otherwise add emphasis when I feel that it is a) appropriate for the situation at hand (e.g. people are generally pretty pissed when their love interest is kidnapped), b) in character for the person who is saying the line (e.g. Veigue and Tytree are the cussing types, Claire and Agarte are not), or c) it is somehow implied in the original Japanese (e.g. usage of one particle versus another, inflection, etc). Back to the original question though, in terms of whose dialogue got spruced up the most, I'd probably have to say Tytree's and Saleh's. Tytree is part nut, part klutz, and part awesome, so it's kinda hard not to get carried away with him sometimes. And Saleh? Well, he's borderline psychotic, so anything goes as far as I'm concerned. ^^; Q: Help! The battle system is killing me! A: Wrong FAQ. Check out the following link or link to my Youtube channel at the top of this FAQ: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/920236/50720 Q: How many times does Veigue yell KUREAAAA in this game? A: The world may never know. Q: What programs did you use to translate Rebirth and edit those spiffy little videos of yours? A: I use three main things when I translate: a NDS program called Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten to decipher Kanji, Jim Breen's Online Japanese-English dictionary for definitions, and dictionary.com for sentence variety. Every once in a while, I consult some of my old textbooks from school too. For my videos, I started out using Ulead Videostudio version 8.0, but I eventually gave in and upgraded to version 11.0, which allowed me to add Japanese text and made the writing of this FAQ feasible. I obtained the video footage by using a USB capture card. Q: You're a little...off, you know that? A: *applauds* How very observant of you. Q: Hey, how can get in contact with you? I have something to ask you and/or you made a mistake and I want you to know about it. A: I used to have an email account just for these types of situations, but I ended up deleting it because it eventually got to the point where I was too busy/lazy to check it, which kind of defeats the purpose of having one in the first place. Plus I noticed that 95% of the questions that I was getting could have been answered on a board and while I hate to sit here and rationalize my lazy ass, it's not like I'm the ONLY person in the entire gaming community who can tell you how to perform Hi-Ougis or get past the word puzzles. That being said, the best places to post questions would be the ToR PSP board on GameFAQs or the Tales forums (register if you haven't already and use this thread: http://tales.namco.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2833263#2833263). If you absolutely have to reach me personally, you can go through Youtube, but I don't guarantee that you'll get an answer. I *am* trying to juggle med school, a family business, an eccentric family, a dog, 2 cats, a bird, the remnants of my personal "life," a couple of FAQs, my volunteer work, what's left of my sanity, defend the free world, nurture world peace, and STILL make it home before my bedtime. Er, that's a really horrible run-on sentence, but you get the picture, right? Q: Are you planning on translating any other Tales games?

Don't worry about the shortcuts that I left in either; I may or may not decide to do something with those in the future. I will put some squigglies (~) in between groups of skits though to make it a bit easier to navigate through this. Also, if I didn't trigger a Skit for my videos, then I won't have an entry for it.

SportRed Bull slams boo boys For the third week in a row, triple F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel receives boos as well as cheers on the podium. 23 Sep 2013 14:20 GMT | Sport, Formula One, Belgium, Italy, Malaysia Red Bull boss Horner, right, slammed the disgruntled fans at the Marina Bay Street circuit [EPA]Red Bull boss Christian Horner lashed out at the fans who continue to boo Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel and suggested they were hurting the young German's feelings. Horner said it was "unfair" to boo Vettel, who has suffered repeated ill-treatment this year and was again subjected to loud chants and heckles after winning Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix. The 26-year-old star did his best to shrug off the jeers but Horner said the booing, blamed on a particular group of fans, might be getting under his skin. "There is a small collective group and it is like a pantomime, but it is so unfair because it is not sporting," said Horner, according to Autosport.com. "The boy today has driven an unbelievable race. What you have witnessed today is one of the best drives that I have seen him produce in terms of raw pace, and I just don't think it is sporting to see a driver who has put a performance in like that not get the reception he deserves. "He is a great kid. He has a great sense of humour. He has a big heart at the end of the day." Bored reaction Booing erupted after Vettel's wins in Belgium and Italy, and surprisingly at the less partisan circuit of Singapore, as Vettel moved closer to a fourth straight world title. The opprobrium has been put down to plain boredom from fans, as the German has won more than half the races this season and already has one hand on the championship trophy. On Sunday night, he led from pole position to the chequered flag in an astounding, if not terribly viewer-friendly, demonstration of uncatchable front-running. But there is also residual anger after Vettel controversially ignored team orders and passed team-mate Mark Webber to win the Malaysian Grand Prix in March. While Vettel apologised to Webber at the time, he later struck a defiant tone and insisted he would do the same again. Webber has announced his departure from the team at the end of the season. Horner said he didn't know what was behind the booing but "for sure Malaysia did not help". "It's been done, there has been an awful lot written about it and there were circumstances that were involved in that," he said. "When you have a guy who is becoming almost a serial winner, it becomes like when people watched Mohammed Ali, they wanted to see who would beat him," he said. "That is the case at the moment; people want to see who is going to beat Sebastian." The team principal added: "He has got a broad set of shoulders but like anyone he has feelings and I don't think it is right." Punishment Red Bull could be forgiven for developing a persecution complex after Webber was reprimanded for hitching a ride with Fernando Alonso - a punishment which will trigger a 10-place grid penalty. The Australian was said to be furious at the reprimand, which means he will be demoted at the next race in South Korea for totting up three tickings-off in the same season. Webber abandoned his smoking Red Bull at the end of the race and then ran on to the track and flagged down Alonso's Ferrari, leaping on to the side and waving to the crowds as they drove slowly back to the pits. "It should have been dealt with by a fine or a slap on the wrist," Horner told Autosport. "Some of the most iconic images I can remember are of Nigel Mansell giving Ayrton Senna a lift home (at the 1991 British Grand Prix). "What is a shame is that it has ended up with a reprimand, which ultimately because it is the third reprimand has ended up with a 10-place penalty. "It is a shame and frustrating because that puts Mark now on the back foot now in Korea. It is what it is and we certainly can't change it." Video footage of the incident showed one car having to take evasive action as Alonso slowed to pick up Webber during the post-race parade lap.Source: AFP

Here are some things I have found in my years of working with
teens that I feel may have some value to you as a parent living with a teen or
a teen living with a parent. With an understanding of the relative nature of
pain and frustration, we can begin to seek real solutions or real advice on how
to better live, love and encourage one another.
In every situation you are part of the problem or part of the solution. So, if
you feel you are stuck as part of the problem or would like to help and
encourage someone else who may be stuck and would like some help, we are here
for you.
My job is to equip and encourage you as teens with parents and parents with
teens to better walk with each other as you learn to serve Christ with your
lives better and better each day and I pray these resources and ideas help you
as much as many of them have helped me in the past.

Hardscape question
I'm a regular poster on the perennial form, hope you don't mind me posting here, too - hoping to get replies.
I have a sunken patio (walk out lower level) which is done in wood. It is looking B-A-D this year, it's going to cave in any time now, the wood is rotting, it's already starting to cave in spots (gravel and dirt coming out from underneath the wood/between the panels).
So, my question is - who do I call to have the patio re-done? Do I call a paver brick company or a landscape company? I want stone or boulders or brick to shore up the walls so not sure the type of company I should call.
It depends on who will do the design work (thinking through portion... what materials, shape, height, size, pitch, details, etc.) If you, call a paver subcontractor. Here (Florida) we have paver subs who advertise regularly in local papers and some of them also advertise on craigslist. If a landscape designer, start there and find someone capable of designing hardscape. If you call a landscape contractor who does hardscape work or a hardscape contractor, they will have designers on staff who can help you. They will design and build it.
Go to one of your local garden centers, not HD or Lowe's. if you have a recommendation from someone, all the better. Not only can you purchase plantings, but if they don't have hardscape materials, most will have the availability to get it, and have an installer. It worked for me. ;o)
If you want the same exact materials in the same exact layout you could call a landscape construction company or a masonry company and they can demo and rebuild what you have.
If you want to alter the design from the original you will have to find a firm that is billed as design + build Or hire an independent designer who will come up with a new design and will send out the plans to several bidding contractors for competitive pricing.
You might want to call your planning and building department to see if a permit is required or when you interview the various building companies who have a proven portfolio of work similar to your required needs, they will let you know if you require a permit or not.
In my area of the country if your walls are a certain height above grade you will require a structual engineer to calculate and design the retainment walls.
If you know that your area will require a structural engineer to calc. the walls then it is cost effective to hire an engineering landscape construction company . They'll calc. the walls, draw up the spec's, submit for permit and build the project.
Oh cr*p this sounds like a lot of money....
I'm hoping to move in a few years and don't need anything jaw-droppingly gorgeous and don't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money, if I could just get someone to re-do pretty much the way it is (square) in brick or stone I'd be happy.
Thank you so much for your input - really good info and I really appreciate it, this is all new to me (not the landscaping but the walls) :0)

Red shirts force Democrats to move rally
- Published: 20/04/2013 at 02:42 PM
- Online news:
SI SA KET - A blockade by red-shirt demonstrators forced the Democrat Party to move the site of a rally featuring leader Abhisit Vejjajiva in Si Sa Ket on Saturday evening.
About 500 red shirts blocked all roads leading to Rajabhat Si Sa Ket University, where the opposition party had been scheduled to hold a political event.
The Democrats moved their event to a field in front of Thesaban 7 School about two kilometres away. However, the red shirts followed with loudspeakers which they used to heckle key Democrat figures.
One red-shirt demonstrator approached the stage and attempted to interrupt speeches, prompting senior Democrat Suthep Thaugsuban to urge his party's supporters to stay calm.
Mr Suthep said the reactions of the red shirts were the behaviour of "hooligans" and did not reflect democracy.
Abhisit: Free speech should be respected.
He blamed the government for allowing disturbances to take place against the Democrat Party while Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could visit the South without a protest. The South is the political stronghold of the Democrats.
The Democrats in the past year have encountered several attempts by red-shirt supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) to disrupt its meetings in various parts of the country.
Mr Abhisit has said that his party respects freedom of speech and that the red shirts should do the same if they believe in democracy.
Mr Suthep said the Democrats would continue to speak across the country to oppose the government's plan to give amnesty to the "terrorists" who took part in political unrest that led to deaths during the term of the previous Democrat-led administration in 2010.
Mr Abhisit told supporters it was disappointing that the government planned to borrow 2 trillion baht for road and railway projects but would not spend a single baht from the borrowing for the development of public health and education.
Earlier in the day, demonstrators from the Lumduan Daeng group had blocked roads to Rajabhat Si Sa Ket University with vehicles, coffins and tyres. The gathering also blocked staff and students of the university from entering.
Pornchai Maneenil, the group's chairman, said the red-shirts would do everything possible to prevent Mr Abhisit and his team from taking to the rally stage. "We are gathering here to expel Mr Abhisit from our province," he said.
Local police restored access to the campus but allowed red shirt demonstrators to continue with their rally. By that time, the Democrats had decided to move their event in order to avoid a confrontation.
Democrat deputy leader Issara Somchai chose the school where about 300 police were deployed to secure order.

Nottingham Irish Studies Group is planning a short series of Irish Studies talks for Spring 2015.
Venue: Five Leaves Bookshop.
On Wed 18th March, Graham Caveney will give a talk on Shane McGowan.
Some possibilities for further talks include:
* A history talk by Pat Murphy on the Great Lockout in Dublin, 1913;
* An evening where we share family stories about WW1. For instance, Pat Murphy's uncle and Deirdre O'Byrnes granduncle fought in the Great War – it would be great if people brought their own memorabilia/ memories;
* A reading group meeting based around James Plunkett's Strumpet City;
* A session on poetry and drama focused on the years 1913-14 in Ireland.
It was good to have our work in Nottingham and elsewhere included in the Irish Times Generation Emigration blog on 9 April. That particular week, the focus of the blog was on the Irish in Britain, to mark the highly successful state visit of President Michael D. Higgins, 8-11 April 2014.
* * * * *
Over Easter, we ran an event in Ireland: storytelling for children at Tullow Library, Co Carlow, Tues 22 April 10.30 – 11.30am. The session was aimed at 4 – 11 year olds, who enjoyed some old stories of the Fianna and Ireland fadó fadó.
In September, we told Irish stories at Crawley Irish Festival.
~On Monday 6 October, we were storytelling at Carnival MAD16.
♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧
We were very pleased to have been included in the Literary Weekend at Tinahely Courthouse on Sat 29 March. Deirdre gave a brief talk on the influence of Patrick Kavanagh on Seamus Heaney, as part of 'Kavanagh . . . in Conversation'.
* * * * * *
We had a very busy few months running our Crossroads series of talks at Five Leaves Bookshop, and participating in Nottingham Irish Festival. More details on our 'Diary 2014′ page (link above).
Deirdre O'Byrne has an essay, 'The Kerry Babies Case: A Crime Against Women' in Crime, the current issue of the Five Leaves journal:
The collection is edited by Ross Bradshaw.
We've been delighted by the many invitations from groups and organisations to present and/or participate in events in both Ireland and Britain over the past year. As you'll see if you click on the 'Diary 2013′ and 'Diary 2014′ buttons above left, we've worked in Britain with Beeston Library, Beeston Poets, Crawley Irish Festival, Curve Theatre (Leicester), Five Leaves Bookshop, Loughborough University, and Stanza Poetry Group. In Ireland we've worked with Courthouse Arts Centre (Tinahely, Co Wicklow), Tullow & Carlow Libraries, History Festival of Ireland, and Pan-Celtic Festival (all in Co Carlow).
If you have ideas/suggestions/requests for events, complete our short survey here, or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

NARS Ita Brush

I purchased the Ita brush after watching a ton of youtube reviews on it (I have the long handled one). I was looking to find a new contour brush that was precise, thin, and slightly more dense to use with some of my less pigmented contour powders in order to get better color pickup (basically the opposite of my fluffier contour brushes which are good for dark contours bc they don't pick up a ton of color)... I have to say, the Ita from NARS definitely does not disappoint!
This brush makes contouring a total no-brainer; due to its flat shape and thin style its virtually mistake proof and you will always get an even line. If you over contour (IE pick up too much color), its super easy to buff it out and away simply by wiggling it in an up and down motion. I love the thin body of this brush which for whatever reason makes application easier as well. This isn't the softest brush around IMO (its Goat hair) but that's what I was looking for in this, so that's definitely not a con for me.
This is a very unique brush and no other brush out there performs the same - I have tried a couple of the so-called dupes for this (Everyday Minerals Itahake, the brushes that come in Benefit blushes and the "throw away" brushes that come with most blushes) but they don't even come close. While some may find this pricy (think it was $55) its worth the investment trust me!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought this recently and have used it a few times. I have not had any problems with shedding as this is a common complaint people have with this brush. It is really easy to contour with. It is a cool brush, cool concept. I had been lusting over the brush for the past year until it was recently restocked. I didn't even care about the hefty ($55 USD) price tag. A lot of other similar brushes have come out on the market that are supposed to be dupes, I haven't tried them so I don't know. I have also heard that many people use the benefit (hoola or other brushes from the boxed blush or bronzers) and that is suposed to be similar just with a shorter handle. I looked at the brush that came with my benefit rockateur blush and it was similar in shape and thickness but I just didn't use it to contour. I would not repurchase Ita as it is super expensive and I hope to take care of it and have it last me years like the rest of my brushes. I would recommend if you have the extra dollars to spend and are able to get your hands on it (I have heard it is almost completely sold out again) otherwise find a more inexpensive alternative as they are readily available.

This brush is a game changer for contouring. I've held off on contouring for as long as I remember because it seemed complicated, but it seems like every makeup brand is coming out with a coutouring palette so I thought I'd give it a shot after viewing Jaclyn Hill's how-to vlog (not affiliated) using the Ita brush.
The Ita makes contouring a breeze. Is it a must-have? I'm sure a similarly shaped brush would get the job done just as well, but the bristles on this brush are dense and soft and make blending easy-peasy. I bought mine during a F&F sale so the extra 20% off made it more affordable.
I have the newer long-handled version of this brush, although I'm sure a shorter handle wouldn't hurt its utility. At first it seemed a little delicate since the long handle is attached with what seems to be two strands of string, but it's actually quite sturdy. The only thing I would change is I'd like a handle made of a lacquered wood instead of rubber, because it's a lint magnet and will show every smudge and fingerprint.
Right now I'm using my Ita with the Sleek FaceForm contour palette, but I'm looking forward to trying other contouring products with this brush. I also own the NARS Yachiyo brush and it's held up really well, so I think the Ita will also be worth the investment.
If it matters to you, my Ita brush was made in China.

Absolutely a dream to use when it comes to contouring my cheekbones. However, excess powder and dust stick to the rubberized handle like crazy, so I wiped the crazy coating off with alcohol (the handle is now a shiny black)

I've contoured with many brushes saying that "this brush does this..that brush contours like that"....etc, etc, etc.. and honestly having paid almost $60 bucks (including tax) for this brush, I can truly say that this brush does it all. It helps contour with such ease and precision that it's impossible to make a mistake with this brush. I'm talking about the smaller ita brush of course (the 21) and it makes contouring such a breeze. I bought a dupe of this brush that looks/feels almost identical to the real authentic nars ita brush and I have to say that both do the job extremely well. If you can buy a dupe of this brush out there somewhere, I'd suggest buying it because $60 bucks is a lot to pay for a single brush, but just like pokemon...I gotta have them all...pertaining to brushes of course...so yes, if your wallet can afford it then definitely splurge on this brush because you won't regret it. It's absolutely fantastic and makes contouring so easy. With this brush you can easily achieve a sharp contour or a nice bronzed look.

This brush is VERY pricey. From what i understand it used to be cheaper (Around $35) i paid $55 for it, but it was worth it. I've tried to contour for years and i never could get the look. I received this brush and watched Jaclyn Hill's video on how to contour (i'll put the link to her video below)
And i totally have a sculpted cheek now.
I just wish i wouldn't have wasted my money on all the other brushes that didn't help me contour.
I absolutely love this brush.

I always sort of knew I didn't *really* understand contouring. Like, I've contoured hundreds of times, but it never really felt right. It doesn't help that I am super fair and the tiniest bit of contour on me can look crazy. Well, when I saw the advertising for this brush, and the dozens of good reviews, it took about 3 minutes for me to purchase this thinking maybe it would make things right. I underestimated just how easy application is with this brush, and how perfect the results are. It's designed in such a lovely shape that it kind of just fits where it should go, and voila. Perfectly defined cheekbones. Oh, and a defined jawline. And shaded sides of the face and forehead. It's also small enough (if you kind of squish the bristles together) to do the nose as well. It's easy to blend with, but it's not always totally necessary because the bristles deposit just the right amount of pigment while blending simultaneously. Magic.

(review for long handle brush) This brush is amazing!! Worth the money. The first 2 times I was woo-ed by how the brush really gave an extremely defined line, I thought people were exaggerating! Also, this makes contouring on the nose BEAUTIFUL!! It looks amazing! The line stays perfectly straight and even so it looks more natural. Really worth the money for somebody who contours everyday. This brush makes it easy to contour everyday, 5 mins tops.

This review is for the Ita #21 (long handle). This is my HG contouring brush! If you have the chance to buy this brush, do it, FAST! I bought this brush after trying the MAC #163 (said to be comparable) and being really disappointed. If you are looking for a contour brush, this is the one to go with. The bristles are extremely soft, and not too densely packed which makes it great for blending out a contour to achieve a very natural look.
I don't own any other NARS brushes, but I do own lots of MAC and Sigma. I absolutely love this brush! I use it to contour the hollows of my cheeks and apply bronzer to the perimiter of my face. The fluffy bristles and slim design of the brush make it so easy to use, it's almost impossible to mess up a contour with this. Because of that I think this is ideal for beginners and professionals alike.
I really enjoy the design of the brush, and the coating is the same as other NARS products. It does pick up makeup from your hands and if it is floating around in a makeup bag, and it can be hard to get the outside of the brush clean again. I reccommend using eye makeup remover followed by hand soap to take off all the smudges.

That won't work - they would
That won't work - they would get slaughtered that way. In my post above I mention a way they could go about it. Once they have a list compiled and it looks like no one else is turning in their weapons they will do random raids across the country per night. In each town, they will go to maybe a few random houses per night. You will never know which night they are coming to your house and your neighbors who are like you will also not know they are at your house. There will be no way or time for you or anyone else to organize. Even if you let people know about what they are doing and they have started confiscation there will be no way to counter it. Unless everyone goes on neighborhood watch 24/7 waiting for them to strike. Not going to happen... people are trying to live their lives and go to work, etc. they are going to be sleeping through the night, not 100 people looking out their windows waiting to make a counter offensive. Besides, they won't be hitting-up your area every night - it will be random. Even if you watch a couple nights you will get lax and they will hit-up a house the next. A guy who lives on his own property down the road... how will you even know they are there? At night and 5-10 minutes average to bust in and disarm/detain. search may take 30 minutes. You might hear a few random gun shots, if you aren't sleeping.
They will use overwhelming force and drones. Every door and window will be covered and anyone converging on your location will be seen by drones. They will place snipers around, etc. So, they will be maximizing force per individual and instantaneous action.
The only way to stop it is to strike where they would be quartered, i.e., their HQ. Then they will call you a terrorist, etc., etc.

"I think he's got a coaching staff that is very motivated -- very young in some instances, but they're a veteran group with him. He brought basically his whole staff here from San Diego State. They will know this fall because they played so well, and had such a wonderful season a year ago, there's no doubt the expectations are going to be very high."

The best thing about this hotel are the fabulous bay views from the terraces, public areas and, if you are lucky, from your own balcony. Room was fine but balcony was great. Breakfast was good and staff were attentive. If you don't like waking up early, suggest you avoid 1st floor beneath dining room (think reception is on floor 3) as floors are all tiled and there is nothing to cushion the sound of chairs scraping etc (and the hotel has coach groups, which tend to start out early). If you amble at a casual tourist pace, the walk into the town centre is over half an hour so don't stay there if that will be an issue.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hotel Corallo is situated on the cliff above the sea, to the end of the coast of Sant'Agnello, full of Orange and Lemons trees, on the top of Marina of Sant Agnello, at few minutes walking from the centre, with on front the whole Neapolitan bay.The main Sorrento square "Piazza Tasso" is at few minutes, or by taxi but it is pleasant a lovely walk. ... more less

That's $10 for an entire year!
Amid all the pretty feminine floral prints and maxi skirt in stores this Spring is another, decidedly different trend, we're loving. The punk and biker-inspired look can be worn classic, like Fergie's biker jacket, or super glam, like J. Lo did last week on American Idol, with an entire dress made up of tiny bold gold studs.
Grab a few of these killer pieces and be a fashionable badass:
Lately, celebs like Camilla Belle and Camila Alves have been adopting the new '70s style trend and looking great. Everything from bell-bottoms and jumpsuits to fringe and braided belts are back, just another reason why you should never throw away your clothes if you really love them!
One of the trends for Spring 2011 is a Nautical theme. There are many ways to rock this trend - you can wear striped dresses, skirts or loose shorts with sailor or navy school boy blazers and even play around with neutral and bright colors. Whatever colors you choose, the key is to keep with a Nautical theme and as long as you accomplish that, you'll be styling! Whether your style is sporty, sexy, or punk, anyone can pull this look off. If you want some inspiration check out the pics below of me wearing three different nautical looks without going overboard—no pun intended!
Argentine/Mexican actress Alexis Bledel has been looking amazing while promoting her new film, The Conspirator over the last few days.
On April 10th, at the world premiere of The Conspirator in Washington DC, Alexis kept it minimal with a burgundy Stella McCartney quarter sleeve sheath dress and some Alejandro Ingelmo shoes. She finished the look with a Cecelia bronze python clutch and simple ruby red House of Lavande earrings.
Latinos are taking over the world (just look at the census, and our recent post on J.Lo!) and apparently fashion and beauty are part of our domination as well.
Brazilian beauty Camille Belle was recently spotted wearing this Spring's IT trend, a 70's-inspired get-up. She looked effortlessly fabulous as always. Check out our picks and rock this vintage look in a modern way:
Eva Longoria was out in full force yesterday promoting her new cookbook Eva's Kitchen in New York City. The Desperate Housewives actress recently told In Touch Weekly that she works hard at looking so caliente by exercising and watching what she eats. Yesterday, she showed off all that hard work in four very different looks!
At the 24th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on April 2, celebs of all ages wowed on the red carpet before taking home awards and avoiding the slime at one of the year's most fun events.
Nicole Richie stepped out this week in rocker chic moto-jacket and an adorable kelly green bag. Here's how to steal her subtly sexy tough girl look for a whole lot less...
J. Lo looked great (as per usual) on American Idol this week, rocking a super popular trend that refuses to go away: The one shoulder dress!
This hot trend is popping up everywhere from prom dresses to casual tee's, so whatever the occasion calls for, you can always embrace this style.

Greenberg: Kors Analyst Action -- Coincidence or Not?
Updated from July 15, 2014: Kors, through a letter to TheStreet from its outside counsel, says this is "completely false and unfounded." The lawyer added that that had I called the company prior to publication I would have received "vehement denials and assurances" that Kors "takes Regulation FD compliance very seriously."
SAN DIEGO ( TheStreet) -- Whenever you see a bunch of analysts put out notes on a company on the same day on no news, you can't help but wonder what's going on in the background.
The latest example: Michael Kors
Monday, the stock was off a few percentage points after the Wall Street Journal wrote a somewhat ambiguous piece about the company -- not the kind of piece that would normally move a stock.
Then, today, at least four analysts took some kind of action: Two lowered their price targets and two reiterated their somewhat bearish (as in "underweight" and "neutral") views. Among them:
-- Barclays, the underweight, noted: "Google trends in the U.S. ... have turned negative." The analyst also cited "an uptick in summer promotional activity compared to that in prior years.
-- Sterne Agee, which is neutral, said: "Investor sentiment has shifted significantly post Q4 results, with questions increasingly focused on the trajectory of top line, as well as sustainability of margins. While sales growth is likely to remain strong in the near term, our recent store work has found broader/deeper markdowns within retail stores and key wholesale accounts."
-- Piper, which remains overweight, lowered its price target and said: "While investment is clearly a theme for FY15 already reflected in mgmt's guidance, sentiment is increasingly more bearish with heightened concerns on promotional levels and slowing sales."
-- Citi, also cutting its price target, said: "KORS failed to meet plan in 17% of responses in Apr-Jun vs. only 1% in Jan- Mar; (2) additional commentary on lack of newness & limited selection (18%); (3) elevated clearance levels in full price stores (30-50% off promotion for 30% of the store); (4) risk of moderating store productivity levels given notable store expansion cadence ."
Reality -- and take it with the grain of the conspiracy theorist I sometimes can be: Given that all of these actions came on the day the company announced the date of its earnings release (Aug. 5, before the market opens) you (certainly I) can't help but wonder if the company has been quietly priming the pump. By that, I mean giving some kind of body language that the quarter may not be quite what the street expects.
Remember, last quarter analysts had voiced concern about the confusion over margins.
And it doesn't take a genius to see what's going on in the market place. As I tweeted this morning:
