LaChiusa, Michael John (b. 1962)
In 2004, Michael John LaChiusa was described in an article in The Washington Post as "the most prolific composer in New York during the past 10 or so years." He does not object to the characterization. "I do write a lot," he says. "I enjoy it." Along with Ricky Ian Gordon and a handful of other composers, LaChiusa has been identified as an heir to Stephen Sondheim's brilliant legacy in the American musical theater. LaChiusa frequently creates works that demand intellectual involvement on the part of the auidence; and, like Sondheim's, his works for the musical theater are often described as "operatic." LaChiusa was born July 24, 1962, in Stockwell, New York, where he first began writing songs at the urging of his fourth-grade teacher. While still in his teens, LaChiusa made his way to New York City with the ambition to compose for the theater. He came to early notice in 1993 with First Lady Suite, a look at the hidden lives of presidential wives Jackie Kennedy, Mamie Eisenhower, and Eleanor Roosevelt, whose lesbian lover, Lorena Hickock, figures prominently in the piece. (A revival production of 2002 was recorded for a CD released in 2003.) In 1994, LaChiusa solidified his reputation as a brilliant young composer with Hello Again, a musical suggested by Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde and produced at Lincoln Center with a first-rate cast including John Cameron Mitchell, Donna Murphy, Judy Blazer, and Michele Pawk. In this wise and beautiful work about love and sex, couples--some gay, some straight--come together in a series of vignettes, one for each decade of the twentieth century. "I'm very intrigued by sexuality," LaChiusa says. "I'm a Catholic boy, so obviously I'm obsessed with sex. I find the politics of sex fascinating." LaChiusa's next project, inspired by a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, was Chronicle of a Death Foretold, for which he and his co-writers, Graciela Daniele and Jim Lewis, won a Tony nomination for best book of a musical in 1996. During the 1999-2000 theater season, LaChiusa was represented on Broadway by two productions, Marie Christine and The Wild Party. Marie Christine, starring Audra McDonald, is an updating of the Medea myth set in nineteenth-century Louisiana and Chicago. (McDonald has recorded several works by LaChiusa, and chose "Way Back to Paradise," from Marie Christine, as the title of her debut CD.) The Wild Party, based on a classic poem of the Jazz Age by Joseph Moncure March, presents a racially- and sexually-mixed group at a party spinning out of control. Guests at the party include a lesbian stripper, an "ambisextrous" playboy, and a pair of gay, black songwriters. LaChiusa won two Tony nominations (for the book and for music and lyrics) for Marie Christine; he also won two Tony nominations for The Wild Party (for music and lyrics, and, with co-writer George C. Wolfe, for the book). Lesbian performer Lea DeLaria recorded two numbers from The Wild Party for her CD Play It Cool (2001), a jazz-inflected collection of tunes drawn from the musical theater. Some of LaChiusa's other works include Little Fish, adapted from two short stories by Deborah Eisenberg; Lovers & Friends: Chatauqua Variations, produced at Lyric Opera of Chicago, where he was 1998-1999 Composer-in-Residence; and The Highest Yellow, a musical about Van Gogh and his doctor, given its world premiere in 2004 at Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia. The Highest Yellow had a long gestation; LaChiusa worked on it in bursts over a ten-year period. Writing in The Washington Post, theater critic Peter Marks called the show "in part an attempt to find an urgent musical vocabulary for ecstasy." LaChiusa often flavors his work with a suggestion of the music of the appropriate period. In The Highest Yellow, for instance, he uses a bit of French music of Van Gogh's era. The Highest Yellow also contains a lyric that could be taken as emblematic of the composer's work as a whole: "You need the dark to make the light lighter." LaChiusa says he can not choose a favorite among his works. "I love all my children," he explains, adding, "It's always the new one I most focus on." The composer describes himself as a "gay man, happily single." He lives in New York City, where he teaches as an adjunct professor at New York University. He says he has high expectations of his students, explaining: "Girl/world--that doesn't make it in my book. You can make a million dollars with that rhyme if you want, I don't care. But in [my] classroom, you show up with a rhyme like that, you are so on my shit list." In its emotional and intellectual reach--along with the sheer amount of music (including recitative) in them--LaChiusa's works, perhaps especially Marie Christine, are frequently described as operatic. Though LaChiusa has argued that he writes musicals rather than operas, other writers, such as Terry Teachout, have attributed this disclaimer to his fear of being branded an elitist. But however they are defined, as operas or musicals, LaChiusa's works are memorable, involving, and affecting. |

Mayor Karen-- another absolutely adorable bunny is our Pet of the Day today! I am getting to really bunnies because of PT... thank you so much! Elyse
Karen, I'm clueless - how do I get pictures into an album? I have pictures saved as documents, and I think that's one of the problems, but I'm totally lost.

Hi Karen... I emailed you about my sweet babygirl Silver who passed on 2 years ago Dec 28th. And you replied..... I thank you You had asked if I had any clearer pics of Her. You can look in my album There are 16 pics of her. The first is obviously of her not well, it is of her about an hour before her passing... so of course you would not be using that one if Silver is chosen for pet of the day. ~~Shannon [email protected]

Premises Liability
Injured on someone's property?
If you have suffered injuries due to an accident while on another's property it is possible you have the legal right to seek financial compensation for your injuries and medical expenses. Of course not every injury or accident is necessarily the responsibility of another, but if your injuries were caused by the carelessness or negligence of the owner, operator or other responsible party, they can be held liable for your medical bills. To find out more about premises liability and your particular case you should speak to an experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney at the Law Office of Neil Flit.
Many people who have suffer an injury accident while in a hotel, retail store or other business can feel they have no chance of seeking any type of settlement. Even people who have been directly victimized or attacked while on the grounds or in the parking lot of a business who should have provided better security for its customers sometimes feel it was their own fault and do nothing. You can do something and it is your legal right to do so. If you have been hurt, assaulted or victimized while on the premises of any business or commercial property we can help you seek a personal injury settlement and the justice that you deserve.
Compensation for Your Injuries
Our firm specializes in all types of personal injury cases. Premises liability can include a wide range of injuries that may include such things as:
- Slip and fall injuries due to poorly maintained grounds or walkways
- Escalator and elevator accidents
- Robbery, assault or rape due to security negligence such as missing or damaged surveillance, lighting or security personnel
- Missing or inadequate warnings of dangerous conditions or equipment
If you are injured at a business or commercial property your first concern will be to get immediate medical care. Then call our firm to discuss whether your injuries or accident were preventable or due to another's carelessness or negligence. We can explain what your rights are and the steps you can take to seek a personal injury settlement for your medical bills and other damages.
Contact an Atlanta personal injury lawyer for help seeking a settlement if you have suffered an injury while on the premises of a business.

Submersible observations during four missions over the North Carolina and Virginia continental slopes (184–900 m) documented the occurrence of large aggregations of mesopelagic fishes and macronektonic invertebrates near or on the bottom. Aggregated mesopelagics formed a layer up to tens of meters deep positioned from a few centimeters to 20 m, usually <10 m, above the substrate. Aggregations were numerically dominated by microvores, notably the myctophid fish Ceratoscopelus maderensis and the penaeid shrimp Sergestes arcticus. Consistently present but in relatively lower numbers, were mesopelagic predators, including the paralepidids Notolepis rissoi and Lestidium atlanticum, the eel Nemichthys scolopaceus, the stomiid fishes Chauliodus sloani and Stomias boa ferox, and squids Illex spp. Near-bottom aggregations do not appear to be an artifact due to attraction to the submersible. Based on submersible observations in three areas in 4 years spanning a decade, near-bottom aggregations of midwater organisms appear to be a geographically widespread and persistent phenomenon along the continental slope of the southeastern US Aggregations may exploit areas of enhanced food resources at the bottom.

National awards joy for Egremont Rangers father and son
Last updated at 11:35, Friday, 30 November 2012
Teamwork is key to the success of Egremont Rangers but the club's promotion feat also reflects some outstanding individual achievements.
No more so than father and son, John Brocklebank, and John Paul Brocklebank, already stars of rugby league's amateur game.
Brocky, senior, is the National Conference League Division One coach of the year, and JP has taken the player of the year award.
"We are both proud and honoured," said coach John, adding "but it reflects how well we have performed as a team."
Egremont finished champions of the League Weekly Hattons Solicitors National Conference League Division One – but the chips were down as they needed to win their last match of the season.
John Paul Brocklebank again rose to the occasion with six goals and a try to seal the title.
The 23-year-old's tally for the season as a whole was 25 tries, 78 goals and seven man-of-the-match awards in 17 league appearances.
Most of his scoring prowess came from the stand off position.
Father John a former Great Britain amateur captain, said: "He prefers to play loose forward but I've put him at No6 in the best interests of the side. As a team we racked up 921 points playing an exciting brand of rugby – that's our style."
And that's what Rangers will take into next season's Premier Division. Having beaten the likes of Wigan St Pat's in the Cup last season, Brocklebank is confident of coaching the side to more successive. "We are well placed to take them on," he says.
It brings the exciting prospect of derby games against Wath Brow Hornets and the challenge to match Brow, local rivals who have just been crowned Premier Division champs.
At this stage there seems a fair chance that Brocklebank junior will still be parading his talents in the premier division.
So far JP has resisted the temptation to turn professional although he has attracted attention for some time particularly since his outstanding display capped by a try for Cumbria's professional side.
They drew 18-18 with England select in the Garry Purdham memorial match before a 5,000 crowd at the Recreation Ground two years ago.
Brocklebank, snr, said: "He' enjoying the amateur game at the moment, playing with his mates – and also the success."
This weekend sees two local ARL cup finals.
The Division Two Play-Off final between Flimby and Kells A will take place at Glasson tomorrow (2pm), while the Division One Play-Off final between Kells and Distington will take place at the Copeland Stadium on Sunday (2pm).

Inter-domain Identity-based Proxy Re-encryption
Tang, Q. and Hartel, P.H. and Jonker, W. (2008) Inter-domain Identity-based Proxy Re-encryption. [Report]
192kB |
Abstract: | Proxy re-encryption is a cryptographic primitive developed to delegate the decryption right from one party (the delegator) to another (the delegatee). So far, no particular research efforts have been devoted to this primitive in the inter-domain identity-based setting, where the delegator and the delegatee are registered at different domains. In this paper we analyze the trust relationships and possible threats to the plaintexts of both the delegator and the delegatee in this setting, and provide game-based semantic security definitions. We propose a new inter-domain identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme and prove its security in our security model. An interesting property of our scheme is that, to achieve the chosen plaintext security for the delegator, the delegatee's IBE only needs to be one-way. |

Bio: His father, Myles Marsden, a choreographer, founded the Rhode Island State Ballet. As such, as a small child, Jason was surrounded by dancers and actors. Friends of his parents noted how talented and personable Jason was and suggested he get an agent and do some acting work in commercials. Little did they know this boost of the young man's ego would turn into a so-far lifelong flirtation with the small and silver screen in both the physical and vocal capacity.
At the age of eleven, Jason had moved from Rhode Island to California and had his first major role, as the third child to play Alan Quartermaine Jr. in the long running American soap opera, "General Hospital" (1963). He continued this role for two years, which is quite a feat considering he still went to a normal elementary school. This was followed soon afterwards by the role of Eddie Munster in the remake of "The Munsters" (1964), "The Munsters Today" (1988). At the same time as doing "The Munsters Today" (1988), Jason also had his first voice acting role in a cartoon, that of Cavin in "The Gummi Bears" (1985).
Jason continued with small acting and voice-acting roles in sitcoms, cartoons, and films until 1992, where he landed the role of Dash X in "Eerie, Indiana" (1991). This is notable because it is most often the role that people will associate with the name Jason Marsden. While the program only ran for 19 episodes, and Jason only appeared for 6 of them, the program gathered a cult following and is still enjoyed today.
Although starring in a TV film, providing voices for cartoons, and guest-starring in sitcoms, Jason's next memorable role was a voice-acting one, that of Goofy's son, Max Goof, in the animated film A Goofy Movie (1995). A prominent role in White Squall (1996) closely followed this, where Jason had the opportunity of working with the famous director Ridley Scott and actors Jeff Bridges, Ryan Phillippe, and Ethan Embry. Another role that made him a household name was that of Rich Halke in "Step by Step" (1991), which was from 1996 until the show's cancellation.
Since "Step by Step" (1991), Jason has provided voices for numerous animated television shows and computer games, appeared in a straight-to-video film, been the voice of Kovu in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) (V), the voice of Haku in the American dub of Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001), starred in two TV films, and has made guest appearances on some of the most popular American sitcoms out there.
Jason has a passion for acting and would like to direct. He has already made his first foray into directing, an episode of "The Journey of Allen Strange" (1997). He is known for his boyish good looks, talent for physical and vocal comedy, multi-faceted acting skills, and lack of height (being 5'4" tall).
He graduated from high school at age 16.
His father founded the Rhode Island State Ballet.
He has 2 older half-brothers, Rick and Mark.
He has 1 older half-sister, Ana.
His parents are Myles and Linda.
Hobbies are ice-skating, rollerblading, drawing, swimming, and collecting Disney videos.
Attended D. Russell Parks Junior High School in Fullerton, California, in Orange County.
Best man at his wedding was best friend and former "Boy Meets World" (1993) star Will Friedle.
Former child stars, such as Scott Curtis from "Aaron's Way" (1988) and Danica McKellar from "The Wonder Years" (1988), attended his wedding.
The officiate at his wedding was former "Charles in Charge" (1984) star Alexander Polinsky.
Has pets named Aladdin, Jasmine, and Lady.
Provided the narration for advertisements on Toon Disney, sometimes calling himself "J-Mars".

NEWS COLUMN Budget cuts force change of pace Library makes cuts
Apprenticeship program turns 20
Years weaken signal of bodys master clock
By Fariss Samarrai
Imagine a wall full of clocks with a large dominant clock controlling the synchronization of the peripheral clocks. Now imagine the big clock con- tinuing to keep time, but, as time goes on, its connecting signal to the smaller clocks weakens. Some of the smaller clocks eventually become desynchronized and some stop running.
This weakening of the signal, rather than a problem with the central timekeeper itself, apparently is the cause of alterations in the biological timing system in aging mammals possibly including humans according to a new U.Va. study in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This may explain why older people experience sleep disorders the signal from the master clock in the brain has weakened, even as it keeps on ticking. This weakened output causes some of the peripheral clocks in other organs to eventually stop oscillating or to fall out of proper synch, causing sleep disruption and malaise.
Lack of sleep can affect more than a persons level of alertness. In the long term it can disrupt the bodys metabolism, affect eating cycles, lead to declining cognitive abilities and possibly a shortened lifespan. Sleep disorders also are associated with Alzheimers disease.
Previous studies in our laboratory revealed that the electrical signal from neurons in the brains master clock is weaker in older animals, which led us initially to believe that the central clock mechanism deteriorates with age, said Gene D. Block, professor of biology and one of the studys lead researchers.
Our new finding demonstrates that the molecular machinery of the master clock continues to function normally. Taken together with our earlier studies, this suggests that there may be an age-related failure of the conversion of the clocks molecular rhythm into the electrical or humoral signals that the brain uses for communication. These weakened central signals may fail to keep some peripheral clocks appropriately synchronized or, in some cases, even rhythmic.
The scientists studied tissue from the brain and other organs of older mice and measured the activity of a gene that is part of the biological clock. They found that the central clock in the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, maintained proper periodicity and synchronization. Clocks in some peripheral organs, such as the liver and kidney of older animals, were either improperly synchronized or had lost rhythm entirely.
This new knowledge could eventually lead to new therapies for age-related desynchronization, said Block, who is also U.Va.s vice president and provost. Arrhythmic or improperly synchronized tissues of old animals could possibly be stimulated by a treatment to oscillate normally.
U.Va. researchers who conducted the study include lead scientist Shin Tamazaki, Block, Michael Menaker and Martin Straume. Hajimi Tai and Y. Sakaki of the University of Tokyo also contributed.

Obama one of our worst presidents
As the president finds himself mired in controversy, the deafening silence from the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, the elitist left-wing Hollywood crowd and other progressives is amazing. The great emancipator who promised us that he will clean up Washington and bring a new era to politics seems just that ... a promise.
As a Harvard Law School graduate, it seems Obama must have failed his American history class as he certainly has forgotten the words of the great Harry Truman: "The buck stops here." With Obama, it is "the buck is passed here" as he tries to blame everyone else for his mistakes.
The president has not had the courage to say "I'm sorry" for any of the controversies that have plagued his administration. Obama's claim to fame that he got Osama bin Laden is also questionable since we have been looking for bin Laden since George Bush was president, and it just so happened that we got him on Obama's watch. There is no doubt Obama will go down in history as one of our most incompetent presidents, even worse than Jimmy Carter.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Tuesday proposed joint military disaster exercises with Australia and the United States in a sign of easing concerns in Jakarta over American troop deployments to northern Australia.
Under US President Barack Obama's "pivot" to the Asia-Pacific, the U.S. will rotate 2,500 Marines through a base near the northern Australian city of Darwin in a decision which Indonesia initially said created tension and mistrust.
During a two-day visit to Darwin, Yudhoyono made no mention of the U.S. deployment, but suggested countries in the region, including China, could join the United States in planning for disaster relief operations.
"We hope that the United States, China, and also other countries will also join us in facing possible natural disasters," Yudhoyono said through a translator after bilateral talks with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
"It can engage the militaries of each of the countries in our region," he added.
Australia has promoted the U.S. Marines' presence and Darwin's proximity to Indonesia, as being useful for emergency relief for future disasters or emergencies, such as the 2002 Bali bombings or the deadly 2004 tsunami.
Beijing, however, is wary of Washington's intentions in the Asia-Pacific, with more hawkish voices in the PLA saying that the United States is bent on encircling China and frustrating its rise.

Nowadays, it's getting more and more difficult to breathe-in fresh air outside because of all the smog and chemicals emitted into the atmosphere, and a working Toyota Sienna catalytic converter can help you in decreasing these pollutants. Poisonous gases from your very own vehicle's exhaust system do not ever serve environmental surroundings quite nicely and the catalytic converter utilizes a chemical reaction to be able to transform these harmful gases into less harmful chemicals. By simply setting up a brand new catalytic converter created for your Toyota Sienna, you can easily help in keeping the air you breathe more fresh and chemical free.
Since the 1970's, autos made in the America have been mandated to have a catalytic converter installed into it. The Toyota Sienna catalytic converter is a very fundamental portion of your vehicle's exhaust assembly and, inspite of its simplicity, is an exceedingly efficient device. Alas, an individual's stock converter won't live for all of time and will some day be in need of an instant replacement in the form of a new Toyota Sienna catalytic converter. Getting a catalytic converter specially designed for one's Toyota Sienna won't be too challenging, especially when you look in the proper places.
At Parts Train, we don't just sell vehicle components which look smoking hot but also components which benefit our big blue planet. We've got all the most popular catalytic converters manufactured by the top aftermarket brands, evident in the quality Denso catalytic converter, Catco catalytic converter, and Walker Products catalytic converter. Your automobile and your health are always in excellent hands after you get a new Toyota Sienna catalytic converter from Parts Train.

Besides the forces of electromagnetism and gravity there are two more fundamental gauge fields in the standard model of particle physics.
The weak nuclear force is described by a gauge field with gauge group the special unitary group (W-boson, Z-boson). It controls aspects of the beta decay.
The strong nuclear force is described by a gauge field with gauge group the special unitary group (QCD (gluon). It governs the interaction between quarks.

EXODUS · Chapter 5
5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus says
the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto
me in the wilderness.
5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice
to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go,
we pray you, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the
LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
5:4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do all of you,
Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
5:5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many,
and all of you make them rest from their burdens.
5:6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people,
and their officers, saying,
5:7 All of you shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
in time past: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
5:8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make in time past, all
of you shall lay upon them; all of you shall not diminish ought thereof:
for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to
our God.
5:9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour
therein; and let them not regard vain words.
5:10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers,
and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give
you straw.
5:11 Go all of you, get you straw where all of you can find it: yet
not ought of your work shall be diminished.
5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of
Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
5:13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfill your works, your
daily tasks, as when there was straw.
5:14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters
had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have all of you
not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as in
time past?
5:15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto
Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore deal you thus with your servants?
5:16 There is no straw given unto your servants, and they say to us,
Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in
your own people.
5:17 But he said, All of you are idle, all of you are idle: therefore
all of you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
5:18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given
you, yet shall all of you deliver the tale of bricks.
5:19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were
in evil case, after it was said, All of you shall not diminish ought from
your bricks of your daily task.
5:20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came
forth from Pharaoh:
5:21 And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because
all of you have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh,
and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
5:22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore have
you so evil pleaded this people? why is it that you have sent me?
5:23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done
evil to this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.

1. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
2. Dark Cloud
3. Persona 4
4. Ever17
5. Morrowind
Not really fair though, I love tons of RPGs and my top 5 always changes as I go back to play them ^_~
1. Fallout 1
2. Fallout 2
3. Baldur's Gate
4. Dark Age of Camelot
5. Skyrim
I guess my list would look something like:
1. Chrono Cross (Hands down my favorite game ever)
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Final Fantasy VII
5. Fallout New Vegas
Everything after Chrono Cross can change from time to time, but Chrono Cross will likely stay at the top of my list forever.
Yessssss, that's what's up! Minus Skyrim
What DAoC server/realm did you play on?
Galahad / Hibernia / Nightshade :)
Best memories of PvP still to this day.. Guild Wars 2 is the closest to it but still not quite there yet
Wow this is like an impossible task.
1. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (or Afternoon of Darkness)
2. All of the other Disgaea games
3. Dark Cloud II
4. Xenosaga (series. Second game is a ****pile, but the third more than makes up for it)
5. Tales of Symphonia
Honorable mentions, in no particular order:
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time; Final Fantasy VII; Final Fantasy VI; Fallout 3; Skyrim; Mass Effect series; Yggdra Union; Persona 3 FES; Persona 4; R-Type Command (the extent to which this is an RPG vs just a strategy game is debatable, but I'm putting it here for completion purposes); Knights in the Nightmare.
Reading this thread really makes me want to dig up my copy of FFVI, since I'm pretty sure if I played it now it would end up making the cut. Mostly because of Kefka.
Aye! I have GW2 friends telling me all about it.. but I don't buy into the hype anymore. Time can only tell.
I played on Guinevere / Albion / Armsman / Infiltrator
/military :)
+1 for Disgaea: Hour | Afternoon of darkness. Broke my PSP on that. Prinnies!
Hib/Perc, but I swear I played Alb/Guin for a while, as did some friends (Keb, Seter).
Alright! It's nice to see people that got to play a PvP legend
1. Grandia 1/2 2. Chrono Cross/Trigger 3. Tales of Phantasia/Eternia/Symphonia/Abyss 4. FF6
5. Xenogears (I'm still mad at that second disc)
Those are my top "5" lol
I feel you man, the second disc really shows that they hurried the production. If the second disc was as great as the first disc play through, the game will be epic!
1. Xenogears
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy V
4. Demon's Souls
5. Final Fantasy VII
Or... I could have just put Xenogears in all 5 slots.
Good man. While not my favorite Final Fantasy game, I do have a lot of love for Final Fantasy V. I just love all the classes it has. It's probably why I like Final Fantasy X-2, actually.

Debnath, Ananya and Paul, Alok KR and Sebastian, KL (2010) Barrier crossing in one and three dimensions by a long chain. In: Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment .
Barrier.pdf - Published Version Restricted to Registered users only Download (495Kb) | Request a copy |
We consider the Kramers problem for a long chain polymer trapped in a biased double-well potential. Initially the polymer is in the less stable well and it can escape from this well to the other well by the motion of its N beads across the barrier to attain the configuration having lower free energy. In one dimension we simulate the crossing and show that the results are in agreement with the kink mechanism suggested earlier. In three dimensions, it has not been possible to get an analytical `kink solution' for an arbitrary potential; however, one can assume the form of the solution of the nonlinear equation as a kink solution and then find a double-well potential in three dimensions. To verify the kink mechanism, simulations of the dynamics of a discrete Rouse polymer model in a double well in three dimensions are carried out. We find that the time of crossing is proportional to the chain length, which is in agreement with the results for the kink mechanism. The shape of the kink solution is also in agreement with the analytical solution in both one and three dimensions.

Never before in our history have we been so much concerned about what we eat as we are now. At the supermarket and food malls I am spoilt for choices and it is a tough decision to make, tougher than the workplace. I fret over the fine print on the labels and packages. Muesli supplemented with digestive fibre, biscuits laced with Omega-3 containing flaxseeds, green teas packed with antioxidants, even water enriched with ozone…the list is endless. Eating has now become a measured and mechanical activity. The fun has been snatched away from food. I wish all the nutrition were packed into one tiny capsule that I can pop every morning and then eat all that I like during the day.
This is simply distracting people from the fact that if they want to live longer they need to eat less. The problem is that food these days is cheap and tastes good. I think I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy another box of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk Cookies and then eat the entire thing in 3 days. And right now I'm going to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich, whose cheese, I think, is not even made from cow's milk. If I got real, organic cheese maybe I wouldn't feel so guilty about eating it right before bed.
Didn't we have a similar thing with multivitamins some time ago? Good for everything! Some companies got rich, but the supposed health effects never materialised (read the World Cancer Report 2008, www.iarc.fr).
I think the vast majority of the 'functional foods' (makes me wonder what 'dysfunctional foods' are? fastfood?) will go the same way: much marketing, little evidence. Then biased evidence (only favourable results are made public), finally the disappointing truth.
But by that time we'll have all moved on to the next hype.
Very interesting and well-written piece, thank you.
I thought it amusing to find "organic pretzels" at Whole Foods. I mean, do we really need organic pretzels? LOL.
From my blog: aidesignjp.com
Eco Superheroes
The Eco Superheroes have had an increase in population recently, but experts are still unsure as to the exact cause. Some speculate it is not an increase, but rather a new-found boldness brought on by the largely debunked movie from Al Gore, The Inconvenient Truth. Often found perusing the local supermarket "organic" foods section, canvas bag in hand, these connoisseurs of all things that look or sound Eco-friendly make sure they cannot be confused with the less enlightened. Their cupboards are filled with organic potatoes chips, free trade coffee, cage free eggs, rice crackers and soy milk. Usually with distinctive appearances, the males, often in their late 40's, sport steel gray hair neatly tied back in a ponytail, and a disapproving frown whenever they hear the words, "plastic please". For the truly conscientious, shopping for groceries is something more, something spiritual. The Eco Superhero is saving the planet; one whole grained, all-natural, loaf of bread at a time.
While many of these functional foods are misguided, I wish to point out that an egg from a barnyard chicken which eats only what it finds in the barnyard is much higher in Omega-3 fatty acids than an "industrially produced" egg. So, the enrichment is simply trying to emulate what would have been a normal chicken egg 100 years ago. As for all the rest, Michael Pollan's advice on diet rings true: "Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much."
"...consumers and regulators will eventually see through the hype."
I live in Japan, and we get a Yakult product called Yakuruto. It is delivered twice a week. It is supposed to be good for your stomach. All it did was hurt mine. Every one drinks it over here.
Does it work? Not sure, but when I show some one a picture of my in law's and they confuse my 50 year old mother in law, with my 21 year old wife's older sister, it makes me wonder if there is something to all of the "functional food" madness.
How much of it is genetics and how much of it is the Yakuruto?
Tinkering with food seems like a good idea on paper, but to superimpose science on something as fundamental and natural as food and eating fills me with a sense of foreboding. It seems as though the big wigs at these food companies are doing their best to create yet another enormous, insatiable monster when it comes to modern food. Perhaps they feel as though if they put enough nutrients in the food--however artificial they may be-- they can kill the other two monsters they've created-- chronic hungry and pandemic obesity. Whatever their aim, I don't like the way this sounds, or feels. Government and big business has never given us any good reason to trust them, and I'm starting to feel as though I should rally others in telling them to get their paws off of our food.
The food has to come from somewhere and with GM crops apparently taking over the world (according to The Economist) and consumers demanding food that's less tinkered with, well it's certain that the centre of something will not hold.
Of course since the least tinkered food is more expensive it's likely that only the well off will be able to eat food which has not been gene spliced or irradiated.
The Economist writes about the fervent (and often mistaken) belief that such food is healthier for their bodies and for the planet.
Not really sure that the Economist can back this claim up. The human body is a complex system, no one knows how it really works, no-one can realistically claim to know about food, drug and chemical interactions in such a complex system.
So why take the risk of putting something in your body that your species has not co-evolved with, when you don't know what the result will be? Surely, the burden of proof should not be on the consumer to say that something is bad. The burden of proof should be on the producer to prove that their tinkering does no harm.
Of course that would put Monsanto and Syngenta and their monstrous ilk out of business, but I for one would not a shed a tear at that prospect.
To Master Mind, who stated, "I wish all the nutrition were packed into one tiny capsule that I can pop every morning and then eat all that I like during the day," and all others worried about nutrition: your wish has effectively been granted, and has been so for a long time. If you eat anything near a normal diet, everything you need is already present in your food. All the vitamins, minerals and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) are there. The only danger is that you'll eat too much. As a physician, I can assure you that vitamin deficiencies are exceedingly rare in healthy people.
Given substantial variations in nutritional needs of individuals, and revisions to health "research" that seem more frequent than might be expected (given millions of years of adapting to environment), how is a "team of experts" even possible?
Might infringement of consumer choice (frivolous, ill-informed, or otherwise) have something to do with an overabundance of regulators?
Dear Sirs,
It is not a "mistaken view" that organic and unprocessed food is healthier than processed industrial food. There is ample scientific evidence showing that organic food has higher levels of minerals, health fatty acids, vitamins, etc.
However, there is a well financed organized campaign by the agro-industrial lobby to slander organic and locally produced food. They rely on selective omissions and "cigarette science" to distort the facts. Government agencies that are close to this lobby as the FSA in the UK add also their weight to this. (Remember how the UK veterinary authorities in the 1990s were part of the cover-up of the mad cow disease?) Please be more diligent in your fact checking next time (and don't take corporate spin at face value).
Salt with iodine. Pasteurized milk with vitamin D. Grains with folic acid, as featured a while back. All superior in many cases.
We are a part of the nature. At least since we started cooking food, we have been "processing" our food. What exactly is "natural" food anyways? Traditional, I get it, but "natural" is nonsense.
Baby steps. Overall, this is a positive trend. As consumers pay more attention and spend more discretionary income on food, they will be healthier and feel more satisified. Big corporations are jumping in with supply, but local and regional producers will benefit.
And for example, products like natural beef may mean you get your hamburger from one grass fed herd instead of buying mixed ground beef from multiple feed lot herds. Healthier, increase diversification with less risk of e-coli and so on.
Ultimately, buying better local food helps consumers, small business, and the sustainability of planet earth. All within friendly confines of unfettered free markets.
The real nutrional advice hasn't changed in, oh, about 6,000 years. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and just a little bit of meat (not too much) now and then to make sure you balance out your proteins. If it wasn't for all the marketing this would be obvious to everyone.
While I don't normally like restrictions, the amount of damage being done by food advertising is bringing me around to the idea that perhaps all advertising for food should simply be banned. The best stuff to eat is the simple stuff that comes out of the soil. Since you can't really improve on this all marketing can do is distort choices so that people choose things that are worse for their health and long term well being. While people have the right to make these choices advertising distorts information and relies on known psychological flaws to manipulate behavior. I'm not certain that impulses goaded on by marketing companies are truly free choice that needs to be protected. Especially when advertising is aimed at children who don't have the background to really weigh things and can be overly influenced by how fun a food is made to look rather than how good it is. At least food ads aimed at children should have some more limitations put on them.
I'm still not comfortable advocating this but I can't see any advantages to food advertising and I do see a lot of harm that it's causing. The simplest solution to consumption problems, both malnutrition and obesity, may be to simply ban all advertising for food. Again, I'm not comfortable with it but I can't really see the downside and it seems an easy fix to a large number of consumption related problems.
The rise in Rating Systems has come as a response to the growing demand for simplified food label data. In this regard most perform to some degree of success. However, inherent in these systems is some level of bias, a result of the specific criteria used to rate the foods.
We believe the last sentence of the article will always stand true, ¨If the only real function behind such labels is to bolster profits, consumers and regulators will eventually see through the hype.¨ Whatever systems are developed they will continue to fall short to some degree as they will never be able to satisfy everyone's needs and perspectives on what is healthy.
We at FoodEssentials believe the solution and future is in custom rating systems where people will be able to filter and sort foods by their own custom criteria. The future of food choice will provide the consumer with the ability to instantly filter through all the food label data to find the products that match their exact preferences.
This will probably increase the demand for funtional foods as well as lead to a more diverse and specific product range in general. Either way we're heading towards a world where people demand to know more accurately what is in their food and where did it come from.
Anton Xavier
See "Probiotic health claims dismissed" Friday 2 October
> General health claims for "probiotic" drinks and yogurts have been dismissed by a team of experts from the European Union.
> Scientists looked at 180 health claims for the supplements. They rejected 10 claims and said a further 170 had not provided enough evidence of their effects.
I would rather people worried less and ate a normal sensible diet, instead of eating nutrient-enhanced "functional food" doughnuts while nervously reading over the latest glossy magazine scare story.
Since when, exactly, is the belief that natural foods are more healthful - both for the individual and the community - than their processed counterparts "misplaced?"
I find the author's suggestion that modern food science produces a superior product than that of nature to be rather presumptuous.
"...consumers and regulators will eventually see through the hype."
Unless it becomes truly outrageous - "Asbestos-Free!" on a box of Oreos, for example - I'm disinclined to agree with this.
I do see the logic in Milyunair's viewpoint: Increased focus on health claims has resulted in an increase in consumer awareness concerning the nutritional quality of the foods they choose to purchase, which is good. Although, from where I'm sitting, a closer look reveals that people, more often than not, allow themselves to become overwhelmed by this increased focus, and are suckered into purchasing products of dubious nutritional value.
That double chocolate chip cookie made with organic white flour is still a double chocolate chip cookie. Those gummy fruit snacks with "100% Daily serving of Vitamin C!" are still sugar and color-laden gummy fruit snacks. And, seriously, Fiber Water?

The second shot I posted on chromasia was a portrait of me and Rhowan, taken about a month before her second birthday, and I've posted numerous shots of her since. This one though was taken today as she celebrated her seventh birthday with her friends.
If you're interested, the original is here:
The processing was relatively straightforward and involved a black and white conversion using the Channel Mixer (see this tutorial) and a masked Curve to lighten her eyes (see this one too).
As always, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

About MeAlexis Gray....I'm looking to get back into the swing of things. Gave birth to my daughter 4.5 months ago, working on getting entirely back in shape. My name is Danielle !!! I model as Alexis Gray I am a 21 year old ,mother of 2. I love being in front of the camera, it just feels natural.. I love to make people smile or laugh with my photos. My goals are to be able to take photos that will truely make a person think deeply and wonder whats on my mind. Im exploring many avenues as far as types of modeling. I want to use this site as a base point and hopefully as an enticing object for photographers. If you have any questions or interests . please contact me thank you!
