Damm Nice Tattoos and Fine ArtRead MoreAround the time he turned double digits, Damien Ramirez started drawing tattoo designs on family and friends. By 18, the self-taught tattoo artist had upped the stakes, tattooing himself and others with permanent ink. Since 2010, he's showcased his talents at Damm Nice Tattoos and Fine Art, where he covers human canvasses in customized designs that cover everything from exaggerated new-school cartoons to spiritual iconography. Damien can even tweak or enhance tattoos you already have by subtly modifying the design, rather than covering you in skin-colored ink. Besides the art he applies to bodies, Damien creates masterful fine art pieces which he sells from the studio.540 Nepperhan AveYonkers, NY US
OMearicana InkRead MoreLed by tattooist Patrick O'Meara, the team of body artists at OMearicana Ink performs body piercings and inks clients with custom-designed tattoos as well as Chinese characters, Celtic designs, and classic tats from the tattoo parlor's library. While artists draw up custom tattoo designs, waiting guests can peruse a selection of body jewelry and T-shirts.100 Lockwood AveYonkers, NY US
Amita's Beauty SalonRead MoreAs a girl of just 13 or 14, Amita perched in her aunts' hair salon and watched with fascination as they snipped clients' tresses. Today, Amita still watches the flash of scissors, but now they are in the hands of skilled stylists in her own salon. Amita bustles through the shop, mixing honey, sugar, and lemon to create her own wax for hair-removal treatments, her specialty. She also mixes her own all-natural henna paste for embellishing hands and feet with elaborate whorls and loops. This attentiveness to the products used in her salon, combined with more than a quarter century of experience in the industry, has led Amita to insist that her stylists wield quality elixirs from Paul Mitchell and Biolage. The salon's skincare specialists employ Repêchage products to renew visages wrinkled from a lifetime of frowning at a Rubik's cube.116 Essex St.Lodi, NJ US
Mario Barth's Starlight TattooRead MoreTattoo artist Mario Barth has a long way since his difficult beginnings. Mario grew up in Austria at a time when tattooing wasn't just taboo, it was completely illegal. Despite numerous obstacles, he pursued his passion for the art form. His hard work paid off; he's since become a world-renowned artist and winner of more than 200 international awards. In addition to these accolades, Mario works with celebrities such as Lenny Kravitz and Sylvester Stallone. So, founding Starlight Tattoo might seem like a footnote in his storied history, but he still hand selects every artist the employs.?215 State Rt 17 SRochelle Park, NJ US

The parlor's body taggers approach each design with stylistic adaptability, steady hands, and a keen artistic eye, tattooing anything from elegant script on the wrist to entire comic-book pages on larger areas of the body, as well as full-leg or sleeve artwork. Intent on preserving new pieces throughout the healing process, the staff provides customers with information on how to care for the new tattoo, such as keeping it out of the sun, avoiding scratching it, and feeding it a few temporary tattoos at least twice a day. Prices start at $50 for a name on the wrist and increase depending on the size of the commissioned work.3179 E Tremont AveBronx, NY US
Ink House StudiosRead MoreFor more than three years, the artists at Ink House Studios have been decorating flesh with customized tattoos and piercings.

DENVER � Carmelo Anthony simply won�t recognize these Denver Nuggets � even though he had just about everything to do with the makeup of their roster.
The New York Knicks will visit the Pepsi Center tonight in Anthony�s first trip back to Denver since forcing his way out of town more than two years ago in a blockbuster trade that reshaped both franchises.
The only familiar face he�ll see is that of point guard Ty Lawson. None of the other Nuggets were here when he was wearing powder blue and gold.
�This game is going to be huge,� Lawson said. �It might be the most exciting game of the year because Carmelo is going to come in. It is going to be a fun game. I can�t wait.�
The trade is turning out to be a win-win for both teams.
The high-flying Nuggets landed a bevy of young players, trade exemptions and draft picks they�ve used to retool their roster, and the Knicks got a bona fide superstar to build a team around.
The resurgent Knicks (38-23) are leading the Atlantic Division, and the Nuggets (43-22) are in the hunt for home-court advantage in the playoffs, and they�re out to prove coach George Karl�s proclamation that an NBA franchise doesn�t need a superstar to be great.
Karl has repeated that line so often this season that it�s become his mantra, although he acknowledges there�s a caveat: If the Nuggets keep on rolling, Lawson and/or forward Danilo Gallinari will be considered stars before long.
Gallinari came over in the �Melo deal along with fellow starter Kosta Koufos, key reserve Wilson Chandler and emergency center Timofey Mozgov. The Nuggets also got Raymond Felton, whom they flipped for point guard Andre Miller and two draft picks, one of which landed them Jordan Hamilton.
They used trade exemptions from the deal to acquire Corey Brewer from Dallas and JaVale McGee from Washington. A first-round draft pick acquired in the blockbuster trade was used to get starter Andre Iguodala from Philadelphia last summer, and Denver used a second-round pick from the deal to draft Quincy Miller.
That�s 10 Nuggets connected to Anthony�s departure from Denver.
The Nuggets were first-round playoff fodder in each of the last two seasons after Anthony�s exit, but then again they only advanced out of the first round once in Anthony�s time in Denver. They�re trying to catch Memphis for the fourth seed or even the Clippers for the third seed, which could go a long way in helping them go deeper in this year�s playoffs.
After all, they�re 27-3 at home.
The Knicks are ahead of Brooklyn and Boston atop the Atlantic Division and are second in the Eastern Conference behind defending champion Miami.
Anthony isn�t 100 percent for his return to the Rocky Mountains, however.
A nagging right knee injury sidelined him for three games before he returned Monday night and collected 14 points and 10 rebounds in the Knicks� 92-63 blowout loss at Golden State.
�I just want to play at this point, just try to win the game,� Anthony said of his Denver return. �There�s definitely going to be some emotions up in the air, but I can�t really worry about that. I don�t want to go into the game with my knee being on my mind. I just want to try to play through it and just see what happens.�
The Nuggets are eager to face Anthony.
�With �Melo they are a different team,� Karl said. �Without �Melo they are a three-point shooting team. It will be interesting to see how we can be aggressive with them and still cover the three-ball. I am sure we will have a lot of guys ready to go after �Melo. We will have three or four guys who probably enjoy the challenge of taking on one of the best � if not the best � offensive player in basketball.�
Even though it�s been so long since his departure, fans are sure to let �Melo have it much like they boo Kobe Bryant every time he touches the ball in Denver. After all, Anthony was jeered at home in the months leading up to his trade in February 2011.
To be sure, some will show him some love for all the memories of last-second shots and 30-point nights over his eight seasons in Denver that included a trip to the Western Conference finals in 2009.
�I hope it is a celebration, but then when the game gets started, I hope they are supportive of us and crazy wild for us,� Karl said. �The Knicks are one of the teams that travel well in the NBA and has a lot of fans. Our fans have done a good job of drowning out the Laker fans and drowning out the Chicago Bull fans.�
Lawson figures it will be a playoff atmosphere when the game tips off at 8:30 p.m. today, a nationally televised game on ESPN and regionally on Altitude.
�This game is going to be crazy,� Lawson said. �It will be exciting. Probably the most exciting game of the year. There is going to be so much energy in the gym, and they will have the fire to beat us.�

The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) provide general guidelines that can help doctors identify bipolar disorder in young patients. However, some studies show that youths with symptoms of mania (over-excited, elated mood)one of the classic signs of bipolar disorderoften do not meet the full criteria for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Other disorders, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/healthinformation/adhdmenu.cfm), may have symptoms that overlap, so some of these conditions may be mistaken for bipolar disorder as well. For example, in a study conducted in 2001, nearly one-half of bipolar diagnoses in adolescent inpatients made by community clinicians were later re-classified as other mental disorders.
Doctors also face tough questions when deciding on proper treatment for young people. Guidelines for treating adults with bipolar disorder are well-documented by research, but few studies have looked at the safety and effectiveness of psychiatric medications for treating children and adolescents with the disorder. Despite this limited evidence, the researchers found similar treatment patterns for both age groups in terms of use of psychotherapy and prescription medications.
Of the medications studied, mood stabilizers, including lithiumwhich was the only medication approved at the time of the study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating bipolar disorder in childrenwere prescribed in two-thirds of the visits by youth and adu

GARDEN CITY -- Police in Garden City are investigating a stabbing.
Officials say around 7:00 Friday night, officers were dispatched to a stabbing at the West River Inn in the 3500 block of West Chinden Boulevard.
Garden City Police say when officers arrived, they found some hotel patrons providing first aid to a man who was stabbed in his arm and torso.
During the investigation, officers found out that 24-year-old Shaw Logsdon, of Nampa, and 22-year-old David Kirby, of Boise, were having an argument in the 3600 block of Chinden Blvd. When the argument was over, Logsdon and his girlfriend walked back to the inn.
Officials say that as Logsdon and his girlfriend were trying to get into their room, Kirby drove into the parking lot and confronted Logsdon, and that's when a physical altercation started, and Kirby was stabbed multiple times in the torso.
Kirby was transported to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise with non-life threatening injuries. Lodgdon was taken in by police for questioning.
Police say no arrests have been made.
If you or anyone you know has information about this incident, you are asked to contact the Garden City Police Department at 208-472-2950 or Crime Stoppers at 208-343-COPS (2677).

My wife and I hiked over 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail this summer, and really loved these bags. They held up well, the zippers rarely got caught up, and are machine washable, and were easily packed into our bags. Set up including zipping them together and sliding the sleeping pads into the handy sleeves was easy after a long day of hiking. 3 months of daily use, they still look great, and we are planning on using them for another long distance hike this summer. The weight is greal for a hiker looking for a good weight for price ratio, a 15 degree bag at 3 lbs for under $150 is really hard to find. Especially one that is not a mummy bag and can zip together thanks to Big Agnes having the option for left and right zippers.After hiking for 6 weeks your bags will stink, trust me. We were able to toss these bags in the washer and the bags felt and smelled like new!

Oops! OSU Pro Combat Uniforms Leaked?
Ohio State has fallen in love with Pro Combat uniforms for its rivalry game with Michigan and it appears the Buckeyes' will once again be sporting new unis for the Nov. 24 showdown with the Wolverines like they did in 2009 and 2010.
While the athletic department has yet to officially introduce the uniforms, Ohio State beat writer Ben Axelrod noticed an image in the Ohio State official online team store that appears to have leaked the uniforms designed to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Ohio State's 2002 national title team (there will also be a reunion for the '02 team that weekend that includes former head coach Jim Tressel).
While most people haven't noticed the changes in Ohio State's uniforms over the last 20 years, the Buckeyes have significantly altered the shoulder striping, the size of the numbers and the scarlet color, while also removing the white stripe from the pants.
The Pro Combat uniform appears to be bringing back the dark-red uniforms from 2002, huge numbering and shoulder striping more similar to 1992 than '02 and the white stripe on the pants. The suspected Pro Combat uniforms also have taken some liberties with history, creating a massive and gaudy helmet stripe, adding a black facemask to the helmet and possibly changing the look on the grey lid to a matte-like finish.
While we love the retro look, there's a little too much classic "Nike overkill" for us to consider these actual throwbacks or grade them too highly. Grade: B
Pro Combat

Eid'l Fitr declared a holiday
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III has issued Proclamation No. 629 declaring Aug. 9, a Friday, a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid'l Fitr (Feast of Ramadan).
This brings to three the number of public holidays in August.
Aug. 26 is National Heroes Day, a regular holiday, and Aug. 21 is Ninoy Aquino Day in honor of the President's late father, a special nonworking holiday.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda made the announcement in a briefing in Malacañang.
"So for those who have been asking us whether Aug. 9 is a holiday, yes it is by virtue of Proclamation No. 629," he said.
Mr. Aquino issued the proclamation in line with Republic Act No. 9177 which declares that Eid'l Fitr, or the Feast of Ramadan, is a regular holiday throughout the country.
The feast is celebrated by the Muslim world for three days after the end of the month of fasting.
In Islam, Ramadan is observed on the ninth month of the Muslim calendar.
During the month, Muslims observe a strict fasting for a period of 12 hours daily, from sunrise to sunset.
It is also a month of sacrifice and purification, with Muslims fasting, praying and acting with kindness toward the poor.
"To promote cultural understanding and integration, the entire Filipino nation should have the full opportunity to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in the observance and celebration of Eid'l Fitr," the President said.

Making the choice to attend college is a difficult one. The School of Management understands this and offers two year degree programs for high school graduates or adult learners who are interested in exploring the contemporary and evolving college life or perhaps returning to college to retool their basic skills.
The emphasis of exposure to learning goals in the Associate of Applied Science degree program (AAS) is focused on knowledge acquisition, understanding with context, and application to practice. This is towards building skill sets that enable graduates of the two year degree to either continue their academic progress by pursuing a four year degree, or for non-traditional learners, advance their professional goals in the business world.
Admission standards and other academic policies for the Associate of Applied Sciences degree program are in keeping with those of NYIT and require nothing in addition to those. Graduates of the program wishing to transition into one of the school's four-year undergraduate programs must comply with relevant academic policies for the program they wish to enter.
The School of Management currently offers the Associate of Applied Science degrees in Business Administration, including options in accounting, finance, management or marketing.

The home is amazingly beautiful with all the amenities of home. The location is perfect, 5 minutes to all the action, very nice clubhouse with everything you need, friendly staff...I even enjoyed a massage while I was there right at the clubhouse. I really can't think of anything else to say except that it was perfect! I know that booking a home over the internet can seem scary as you don't know what you'll get( I was terrified) however if you are worried about this one contact the owner and I will supply a reference for her. Thank You Janique looking forward to November!
Guy, Susan and Nicholas Durette
Fantastic vacation!: Janique,
Just got back. Your home was beautiful and was just perfect for our trip. We really appreciate the opportunity we had with you .
Thanks again,
Mike and Janice Dougherty
PS - we didn't use the second floor at all. We travelled with just the 2 kids and ourselves and the bottom two bedrooms were perfect.
Once upon a time, two twin sisters went to Disney with their respective kids and families...They rented a home and they loved it so much that they bought one... After that... all the family started helping out (renovating, cleaning, fixing things) to make this home a real nest for upcoming vacations... Uncles, Aunts, parents, grandparents, step father, sister and brother in law came to help out to make this home a comfortable and luxury vacation home!! Be part of the family...and enjoy! :) We wish you a magical vacation at Disneygreenvilla!

Le séjour a été des plus agréable. J'y retournerais volontiers. Les enfants ont adoré la piscine. La maison et les pièces sont grandes. Très bien située pres des attractions de Disney notamment.
Merci pour tout!
Les familles Lantagne et Perron
The house and site are Beautifull ....Big ..Clean... 10 min from everything you need ( store- Resto- Disney- Waltmart )..I loved the pool.. the view ...!! I I was there for a little more that a week with the kids & friends ! We were impressed ..we loved it ... and more ... I am speechless .. you have to be there .. ... Only 15 min door to door from Disney World .. this house amoung the other house in the area make you feel like HOME sweet HOME !! I will definitly recommand this house to all my friends and famlily and of course ...I plan to go back ...sooonnnn ;-) Thanks Mme Janique for sharing your beautifull place with us ;-)
My husband and I treated our two sons and their families to a Disney World vacation. There were 9 of us staying at the house, and we had plenty of room. The house is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The three grand kids, ages 6, 5 and 3, loved the pool and game room. We also spent lots of time at the community pool, when not at Disney World. Loved the Tiki bar! The pool is perfect for toddlers!
We loved the view of the little lake and enjoyed the wildlife, including the visits from the ducks!
I was sad to see our 10 days come to an end.
The owners were also very helpful and answered all my questions and needs.
I will certainly recommend this property to all my friends and relatives.
We stayed at the property for 8 days and were delighted. The house and facilities are precisly as advertised. Very neat and comfortably laid out. The house is conveniently located to Disney, food shopping and miniature golf. The management company was highly responsive when we sought assistance --special cudos to Joe from the management company. Our family enjoyed the Club house facilities. And every one at Terra verde made us feel welcome. So, all in all, just what we had hoped.
The memory still remains from the wonderful days we had there. The sunset view from the pool area make this house distinguished from any other in the condominium.
my family as well as another stayed at this house for the week while going to Disney for 6 days straight. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy the house and resort on club house. the managment company was very attentive and we had no issues the entire stay.
This luxury vacation home is close to all the attractions, restaurants & shops.You will be pampered by all the services provided by the gated community of Terra Verde and it's 6000 sq feet Clubhouse. Terra Verde is an Premier Award Winning gated community in an excellent location, only 10 minutes of Disney and 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport. Clubhouse includes:

By Michael Herron (M.I.C.): Since winning gold in the 92 Olympics, Oscar De La Hoya has continually been compared to Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard. Like Leonard, Oscar emerged from the Olympics with the promise of success and the weight of the boxing world on his shoulders. After turning professional, they both lived up to the promise by becoming multi-division champions. In addition, their charisma and talent, coupled with their willingness to fight the best of their era, attracted massive interest in the sport. In terms of fame, glamour, and financial success, Oscar has equaled and even surpassed Leonard; but in terms of establishing a winning legacy, he doesnt quite measure up.
Leonard and De La Hoyas careers are more alike than initially perceived. They both have fought similar opponents and taken on similar challenges. This analysis will parallel these challenges and analyze how each fared when the pressure was up and the stakes were high.
Leonard vs. Duran; De La Hoya vs. Mosley: Both Roberto Duran and Sugar Shane Mosley were moving up from lightweight to challenge the welterweight champion. Both fights were sensational brawls were Leonard and Oscar came up short. In the rematches however, Leonard humiliates Duran forcing him to declare "No Mas" but Oscar, though fighting valiantly, loses to Mosley again.
Leonard vs. Benitez; De La Hoya vs. Whitaker: Leonard challenged welterweight champion Wilfred Benitez, the best defensive fighter of his era. He eventually solves his defense and stops him in the final round. Oscar fought the best defensive fighter of his era, welterweight champion Pernell Whitaker. He struggles for the majority of the fight, not quite able to penetrate Whitakers defense; but wins a highly disputed decision that many still debate to this day.
Leonard vs. Kalule; De La Hoya vs. Quartey: Leonard and De La Hoya each faced strong opposition in Ayub Kalule and Ike Quartey. Both Kalule and Quartey are tough, African born southpaws with good stamina, exceptional strength and technique, and each is known for their excellent jab. Leonard in his debut at junior middleweight defeated Kalule by 9th round stoppage becoming the new champion. De La Hoya and Quartey waged a fierce battle that saw Oscar outlast Quartey for a split decision victory. Though an exciting fight, it ended in controversy with many believing that Quartey had done enough to get the nod.
Leonard vs. Hearns; De La Hoya vs. Trinidad: Leonard and Thomas The Hitman Hearns wage war in what is considered one of the greatest welterweight fights of all time. They both control the action at different times but Hearns has the clear advantage. Leonard, with one eye swollen shut, shows amazing heart and determination, stopping Hearns in the 14th round. De La Hoya vs. Felix Tito Trinidad is billed as the fight of the century, the clash that would ultimately rival Leonard vs. Hearns, but it fails miserably. Oscar boxes cautiously against Tito controlling the pace, but instead of dropping the hammer like Leonard does, he retreated in the final rounds and loss the decision. This contest marks the beginning of inquiries regarding Oscars stamina and ability to close fights.
Leonard vs. Hagler; De La Hoya vs. Hopkins: Leonard vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler is an amazing contest and one of the best fights of the decade. Leonard, coming out of a 3 year retirement, moves up to middleweight to challenge one of the baddest men in boxing. The fight itself is a sensational match of boxer vs. brawler. Leonard beats Hagler to the punch, uses excellent defense, establishes effective ring generalship, and when forced, stands and trades with Hagler. He wins an exciting and well deserved split decision. De La Hoya, in a similar contest, moves up in weight to challenge the long-time middleweight king Bernard The Executioner Hopkins. This fight was to be a reimaging of Leonards historic achievement vs. Hagler. After many uneventful exchanges, however, De La Hoya suffers his first knockout loss via body shot during the ninth round of a lackluster affair.
Leonard vs. Lalonde; De La Hoya vs. Sturm: Nearing the end of his career, Leonard entered the newly formed super-middleweight division to challenge Light Heavyweight title-holder Donny Lalonde. Ray is knocked down and busted up in the fight; but once again he shows tremendous heart, finds a way to overpower his larger foe, and KOs Lalonde claiming his title. De La Hoya faced a similar challenge when he opted to test the waters at middleweight. He chose to face the lightly regarded WBO middleweight champion Felix Sturm. Oscar is seemingly defeated in convincing fashion, but is given a unanimous decision that many agree was undeserved. Politics and rumors suggest that the verdict was rendered in order to protect a pre-scheduled mega-fight between De La Hoya and Hopkins.
Leonard vs. Norris; De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, Jr.: Leonard, at the final stage of his career, wanted to challenge himself and face Terrible Terry Norris, one of the best pound for pound fighters of the new era. The chance to defeat a top tier opponent from the new era would further enhance his legacy. Unfortunately, he was not able to turn back the clock and he was beaten badly by the younger Norris; but like a true champion, he endured 12 rounds on heart alone. This fight signaled the end of an amazing career for Sugar Ray Leonard.
De La Hoya encountered the same circumstances when he challenged Floyd Mayweather, Jr. With this fight, De La Hoya had a chance to accomplish something Leonard could not; and that is knock a younger, faster, stronger, top pound for pound fighter off his perch. The event was among the most watched and highest grossing in boxing history. To his dismay, De La Hoya, like Leonard before him, was out-boxed, out-maneuvered, and ultimately failed against the younger champion.
Leonard vs. Camacho; De La Hoya vs. Forbes: Ironically, there is even a parallel to be drawn between Leonard vs. Camacho and the upcoming De La Hoya vs. Forbes contest. As former lightweight champions, Stevie Forbes and Hector Camacho are considered low-risk tune-ups for the two boxing icons. Leonard, clearly pass his prime and inactive for several years, suffered the worse and perhaps the most embarrassing defeat of his career. Fortunately, it has not damaged his legacy. Incredibly, De La Hoya will be faced with the same situation when he fights Forbes! Though not as far pass his prime as Leonard when facing Camacho, De La Hoya would be wise to not take Forbes lightly; a loss in a fight of this magnitude could be the most embarrassing defeat of his career as well.
In comparing these two legends, it is clear that Sugar Ray Leonards overall achievements and victories in the ring have secured him the coveted All-Time Great status. When the stage was set, the lights were bright, and the stakes were high, he delivered triumphantly until the bitter end. De La Hoya, to his credit, chose to traverse the same path. His failures on the biggest stage, however, have held him back incessantly. For now, he is a great fighter with all-time great ambition.
In spite of this, where Leonard failed, Oscar can still succeed. De La Hoya has engineered another opportunity to extend his career. If he is successful he can do what Leonard did not; defeat his tune-up and secure a rematch with his young nemesis. If De La Hoya is able to get by Forbes and face Floyd Mayweather, Jr. again, maybe he will finally get that all-time great victory that has eluded him his entire career. For Oscar, that would be great!

Multiple X Screens, Toshiba TE2100 laptop
I've recently installed Mandrake 9.1 on my TE2100. I managed to install the nvidia drivers without too many issues, now everything runs on a single screen well. Unfortunately, when I try to set up multiple screens (an external CRT and the internal laptop display) the laptop display stays completely blank. X believes the display is there and in the correct location, I can open up applications on the screen if I set my DISPLAY=:0.1, but I just can't see anything.
I've attached the log file, and a copy of my XF86Config-4 is here. Any help would be great.

For some reason the attachment was lost, here it is.
I've now tried twinview with the same results. The virtual desktop seems to be the appropriately large size, the workspace switcher shows up the new weird proportions for the large desktop, my mouse happily disappears off the edge of my CRT to what should be the LCD, but the LCD screen stays decidingly black.
Thoughts anyone?

Well, still no luck here. The verbose log doesn't seem to show up any problems either, i've attached it here. Is there any further debug info I can get somehow?

Kawagoe Matsuri – Saitama Prefecture
Last weekend we could enjoy the biggest festival in all of Saitama Prefecture, the Kawagoe Matsuri. It is easy to forget about Saitama prefecture, dwarfed by it neighbor Tokyo to the south it is still a formidable economy in itself. Ranked as an independent country, the GDP of Saitama would place it somewhere between Portugal and Ireland. It has a population of almost 8 million and presumably about 12% of those visited the festival over the weekend. Not bad! But I am sure a lot of the visitors were from Tokyo.
The main draw of the festival are the legions of giant Dashi, or mobile festival platforms pulled about on giant ropes by the townspeople of the neighborhoods they represent. In the beginning of the festival they roam about over a large area but the later it gets the more of them converge on the main stretch in Kawagoe City's old town, making for one spectacular and hugely congested traffic jam. Late at night most visitors have left already but the streets of Kawagoe old town are still so packed it yesterday took me about 30 minutes to move 100 meters. As I mentioned in a blog post last week, security was beefed up after last month's accident involving a dashi at a festival in western Japan, all the dashi had new wheelguards installed (it looked a bit jury rigged but if it can prevent any accidents I am all for it) and there were twice as many police and security guards present as last year. If you are visiting with small children I recommend not brining any pram or baby stroller and to travel as light as possible. I saw some parents literally tied together with their children to avoid losing them in the throngs.
Despite the huge crowds, I am already looking forward to next year's festival!
Kawagoe Matsuri – Tonight
Last night was the first of the two days of the annual Kawagoe Matsuri in Saitama Prefecture just north of Tokyo. Kawagoe is an old trading town and because it escaped the bombing raids of the war a remarkable number of old Edo period houses and streets have survived, earning it the nickname of "Little Edo", or Koedo (小江戸). The nickname is reflected in the famous local beer brewery making use of another of the town's specialities, the sweet potato.
The first night of the festival was held in near perfect weather, although for my photography I would have wanted more clouds to help brighten up the city a little. It was intensely crowded as usual and as much as I tried I could not find all of the dashi. All in all it was a perfect evening for a festival and a perfect festival in itself! The second night of the festival has already started and if you are interested I suggested heading up to Kawagoe by using any of the three stations, Honkawagoe, Kawagoeshi or Kawagoe. Enjoy!
Kawagoe Matsuri – This Weekend
If you are in the Kanto area (basically Tokyo and all the surrounding prefectures) this weekend you can do worse than spending it in the Saitama prefecture city of Kawagoe: It is time for the annual and massive Kawagoe Matsuri, easily one of the most accessible of the grand local festivals outside of Tokyo and the place to go to see the massive dashi as they are pulled around by teams of townspeople. Especially fun to watch is when two dashi meets and a battle ensues to see which will be granted right of way and which should move away. The aim of the battle is to disorient the other dashis handlers by cheering and chanting for your own neighborhood dashi. While all this is going on I suspect that the leaders of the two dashi exchange a few words to make sure it all goes smoothly though. Also, while the dashi are stopped the handlers take the opportunity to prepare for a change of course or do minor repairs and alterations to the undercarriage of the dashi, which is easy to miss with all the noise above them.
During these two days well over 800 000 visitors come to see the 10 dashi and take part in this great festival. Last year's festival was too rainy for most people but if the weather holds this year might be the biggest festival yet, maybe even topping the 1 003 000 people who came to the festival in 2012 which made it the biggest festival in Saitama prefecture. The very narrow streets and huge crowds make it an interesting experience. However, a word of warning might be useful. As far as I know there has never been a major accident involving the dashi of the Kawagoe Matsuri, a couple of weeks ago in another part of Japan there was a tragic incident when a dashi knocked over a temple structure during a festival, causing a lot of damage. Even if you are aware of yourself and your kids and keep away from the dashi itself, it pays to keep an eye out for where they are going as these things are very heavy and famously difficult to control. I suspect that there will be more guards around the dashi than usual this year. Lets stay safe and lets enjoy this great festival!
I took these photos on the second and last day of last year's festival.
Hikawa Shrine Festival – Akasaka
There are a lot of festivals going on in Tokyo this weekend, the biggest probably being the one in Shibuya that I posted yesterday, but not far behind is the Hikawa Shrine Matsuri in Tokyo's central Akasaka (not to be confused with the very similar sounding place name Asakusa). This festival kicked off on Friday evening but I didn't have time to visit so here are a few photos from my visit to this festival back in 2012, a couple of years ago. I have been to this festival many times and it is always fun, especially to see the large dashi, the mobile shrine platforms as they are pulled and pushed and dragged all around the narrow streets and hills of Akasaka (赤坂, even the name means Red Hill). There are two different dashi and they are used on different days, so depending on when you see them you are bound to see a different one. Dashi connoisseurs (yes there are such people!) can easily tell the difference, but less learned people like me have a bit of a hard time.
A good friend that I met by chance at a festival last weekend let me in on how omikoshi (the mobile shrines carried by parishioners around the neighborhood) are judged in action! I can't believe I hadn't gotten this earlier, but apparently people in the know look at the four tassels hanging around the edges of most omikoshi (the ones in this festival are blueish purple): if the tassels swing wildly in rhythm, it means that the omikoshi is moving with cheer and purpose, if they hang straight or just sort of rattle around it means the carriers are running low on energy and the proper spirit. The best way to get the tassels swinging is to cheer the carriers on which usually spurs everyone into action!
If you have time and the opportunity, don't miss this or any of the many other big festivals this weekend!

Although I'm expecting to hear heated debates in the comments about this clip, I must say the line where Ida suggests they put her cat, Toby, and Lynette's daughter, Penny, upstairs in a closet during the tornado "since it's safe" makes me laugh every time. Now, if you're at your own home (and there's not a tornado going on outside), whether or not to sequester a pet when someone with allergies comes over is usually not a tricky decision. However, if you're a guest, and in an emergency situation like this one, what would you do?

My research is in statistical methods for Spoken Dialogue Systems, i.e. computer systems with which you can have a conversation. After completing my BA in Mathematics at Cambridge, I obtained an MSc in Speech and Language Processing at the University of Edinburgh, with Colin Matheson supervising my dissertation. Now I am working for a PhD in Cambridge under the supervision of Steve Young in the CUED Dialogue Systems Group.
[For a full list of publications, please see my Google Scholar page.]
The Third Dialog State Tracking Challenge
The Third Dialog State Tracking Challenge, with 7 research teams submitting 26 total entries, evaluated the state of the art in dialog state tracking. The focus was on adapting to expanding conversational domains. Presented as a poster at IEEE SLT 2014, in Lake Tahoe. IEEE Spoken Language Technology (SLT), 2014, Lake Tahoe. View PDF Bibtex citation
Robust Dialog State Tracking Using Delexicalised Recurrent Neural Networks and Unsupervised Adaptation
This paper presents a method to robustly transfer recurrent neural networks from one dialog domain to another, including a technique for adapting the parameters online with no supervision. This was the top performing tracker in the Third Dialog State Tracking Challenge. Presented as a poster at IEEE SLT 2014, in Lake Tahoe. IEEE Spoken Language Technology (SLT), 2014, Lake Tahoe.

Word-based Dialog State Tracking with Recurrent Neural Networks
Best paper award nomination This paper presents a new method for dialog state tracking that relies directly on the words spoken, i.e. the output of a speech recogniser, rather than a semantic representation. The method is validated in the Second Dialog State Tracking Challenge, and found to be one of the top two tracking methods. Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGdial), 2014, Philadelphia. View PDF Bibtex citation
Deep Neural Network Approach for the Dialog State Tracking Challenge
Inspired by recent promising results using Deep Neural Networks in speech applications, this paper shows how to apply DNNs to Dialog State Tracking.

Recovering from Non-Understanding Errors in a Conversational Dialogue System
A paper stemming from work done in my MSc evaluating a set of strategies a conversational (rather than task-oriented) dialogue system can use to recover from situations where it is unable to understand what the user has asked. The dialogue system concerned is for a robot tourguide which shows visitors around the Edinburgh Informatics Forum. This was an oral presentation at Semdial, and you may view the slides.
