HERBERT G. "MAC" MACPHERSON died suddenly in Guadalajara, Mexico, on January 26, 1993, at the age of eighty-one. Thus passed one of the most highly respected pioneers of nuclear energy.
MacPherson's scientific career began at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received the bachelor's degree in 1932 and the Ph.D. degree in physics in 1937. While at Berkeley he was much influenced by Professors R. B. Brode and Leonard Loeb. His first scientific paper (1934), of which he was the sole author, described a definitive experimental refutation of the so-called F. Allison magneto-optical method of chemical analysis. In this first paper MacPherson already displayed qualities of scientific common sense and impeccable responsibility that were the hallmarks of his entire career, both as a physicist and as an engineer. During this early period MacPherson worked on cosmic rays with Brode and M. A. Starr, and during a short stay at the Weather Bureau, he analyzed the accuracy of the Smithsonian Institution's measurements of the solar constant.
In 1937 when MacPherson joined the National Carbon Division of the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company, physicists in industrial companies were rare; indeed MacPherson was the first physicist hired by National Carbon. His first job was to investigate by sophisticated spectrophotometric methods, the

DS2 was born at a little over 41 weeks. I didn't have any signs of labor before he was born. The night before, I went to my old karate class to watch a friend's belt test and didn't have any signs. Just a few hours later labor started and was less than 30 minutes from first contraction to baby, it was a whirlwind.
Chaotic mama to 5 plus a bonus one on the way.
Fledgling midwife on hiatus, Wife to B, mama to C (c/s 12/04) and S (12/07), m/c (3/12) and expecting another bean 6/13 .
I had no diarrhea, no nesting, and no bloody show. The first sign that anything was happening were painful, irregular contractions.
I didn't lose my mucous plug until I had been in active labor for several hours, and my water didn't break until after I started pushing.
Mumma to DS July 2010 and expecting another baby boy late July 2012
The day before I went into labor I had a little diarrhea and a little extra discharge, no blood tinge. That's it. The day of, I woke up and bounced out of bed at 6am, hit Starbucks, wrote all my thank you cards for the baby shower, had diarrhea and lots of regular braxton-hicks, then took a 2 hour nap. Woke up in early labor at 2pm. I really had very little prodrome until right before I went into labor. No idea what my cervix was doing leading up to it bc I refused all VEs until labor.
At home amongst the redwoods with my husband and my son, born 7/5/11, and #2 due in October 2015 Instant CNM, just add !
By the end of all my pgs, I was exhausted, tired, and frequent BMs anyway, constant BH, there were no defining signs at all until I went into labor. The day I went into labor with my last, I was SOO tired, I would barely put a foot in from of another. I took my girls to gymnastics practice that morning and all the other moms were commenting how crappy I looked (no offense taken!) and then an hour later labor started.
Try to forget about it! I am dead serious. I could never "walk away" mentally and I don't think much of that stuff helps....I did the cohoshes, Primrose oil, nip stim....
My midwife told me to go to the movies!
I was 17 days overdue with my baby born last month. I wasn't dilated at all at that point. My midwife used a combination of evening primrose oil on my cervix, rubbed several essential oils on my belly (the massage felt awesome) and a homeopathic under my tongue. It worked right away. She was born at 3 am the next day, so it took 13 hours, but it was quite gentle in the beginning. But I think you should just do what seems right to you, and wait as long as you feel comfortable waiting, and try to see if your home birth midwife has the tools my midwife has. However, she says the induction treatment she uses only works if the woman is ready. But this was my third baby and I've never gone into labor on my own.

Auto-compiles less stylesheets and auto-reloads them in the browser.
npm install -g lessio
Go to your project directory, and execute:
lessio --generate
This will generate an example configuration file with the name lessio.json. Edit this file and change the mappings configuration so it reflects your project structure. Each mapping has a main LESS file(which can import other less files) specified with a relative path in the mapping' in directive. The out directive is a relative path the lessCss compiler uses to write the result to. This css file is included in your project's html head.
The href mapping directive is used to recognize the mapping's out CSS in the browser, when a reload is triggered. This can be the full path or a partial href, as long it uniquely marks this css-file.
Basically you don't have to change anything here, unless you need to run lessio on another port...
Once you have specified a correct mapping for your project, launch lessio in the same directory where you generated lessio.json by executing lessio without parameters. After the lessio service started, navigate your browser to localhost:8081. You should see a blank page with a Bookmarklet link. lessio works with a bookmarklet that injects the lessio client into your project's html.
Create a marklet(Chrome):
Now that you have a bookmarklet in your navigation bar, open the url to your development site, e.g. http://localhost:666 CLick on the LessIO link in the navigation-bar and start editing your LESS files, as specified in the configation mapping. Once you save a LESS file, it should trigger an autocompile/save on the out file and an autoreload on the href version in the browser. Happy styling!

If this season hasn't already been trying enough, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered another big blow entering this week. The slumping Lakers won't have frontcourt players Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill for a difficult two-game road trip that begins Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets, who will seek a season high-tying fifth straight win. Los Angeles entered this season as one of the favorites for the franchise's third title in five seasons, but the Lakers (15-18) and their new players have never seemed to click. The team got to .500 after a five-game win streak last month but is 1-4 in its last five and is one shy of tying its season-high four-game skid from Dec. 7-13. Los Angeles' chances of ending that losing streak don't appear promising with its recent injuries. Howard, a six-time All-Star acquired from Orlando in the offseason, tore the labrum in his right shoulder Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers and re-aggravated it while matching a career high with 2...

Animal Kingdom has the potential to be the best WDW park. Unfortenately, there are not enough rides. There are four major E-Tickets- Kilamanjaro Safari, Dinosaur, Everest (which I haven't riden yet), and Kali River Rapids. Safari lacks the reridability factor of some other rides. Sure you see different animals at different times, but do you really want to marathon it? Kali River Rapids should not be an E-Ticket as it isn't that special. It is well themed, but it is incredibly short. Dinosaur pales in comparaion to Indiana Jones, but is a good ride in it's own right. Everest (I assume) and Dinosaur are the only highly rerdideable (i.e. several times a day) attractions at DAK. Primeval Whirl and Triceratops Spin could be taken down for all I care. If DAK built a few more highly rerideable E-Tickets, than it would be the best WDW park. Sadly, with the rate Disney works, it will be ten years before DAK sees another E-Ticket.
Anyone else agree, that the main area DAK is lacking in, is in highly rerideable rides?

My daughter always puts herself down. She's very caring and smart, and I compliment her all the time, but nothing seems to work.
- Mike
Helping her see that others, like you, appreciate her qualities is a great start. You can also try to get her involved in activities like volunteering that encourage cooperation rather than competition. This will give her a taste of success and will show her what she is capable of accomplishing.
Most everyone has some self-doubt from time to time, but if your daughter's self-criticism is interfering with her life, a trained therapist can help uncover the reasons for her low self-esteem and suggest ways to improve it.

Make floating candles
Pretty flower-shaped candles to float alone or with flowers
We used a floating candle-making kit.
Melt the wax, add the wax dye a little at a time to achieve desired colour.
Follow the kit instructions to secure the wick.
Transfer the hot wax into a plastic jug and pour into moulds. Leave to cool completely and turn out.
Fill a glass dish with water and float candles with some flowers or petals for decoration. Remove flowers before lighting candles for safety reasons.

Monica Sheppard said she left the scene of her husband's accident to try to maintain a sense of normalcy for her young daughter. But this would be the first in a series of odd developments Roberson found in connection with Matthew Sheppard's drowning.
When Roberson visited Matthew Sheppard's employer, the Eaton Corp., in Searcy, he found auditors at the company had recently uncovered $40,000 in unauthorized charges on Sheppard's company credit card. The charges were for everything from gas to gadgets, and even a washer and dryer.
Roberson also discovered that Sheppard had raised his life insurance policy to the company maximum one month before his accidental drowning. Monica Sheppard now stood to collect more than $1 million in insurance money from her husband's untimely death.
As Roberson continued to dig, he found there was a darker side to the seemingly well-liked and affable Matthew Sheppard. Although he made a good salary, Sheppard was deep in debt. While at Eaton, he had used two different Social Security numbers -- and he had a criminal history.
"There were forgeries, auto theft, and theft of government property," Roberson said.
Confused by Monica's behavior and with his suspicions growing about Matt, Roberson issued a nationwide missing persons alert for Matthew Sheppard. He also asked U.S. customs to be on the lookout for Sheppard's passport and contacted a host of other government agencies as well.
"We contacted criminal investigations with the IRS, put him in every database you can find, but nothing. He vanished into thin air," Roberson said.
One week after Sheppard's disappearance, Roberson uncovered something: Phone records revealed that Sheppard's company-issued cell phone had sent text messages hours after he supposedly drowned.
"The numbers we checked turned out to be pre-paid cells. They're basically untraceable," Roberson said. "And text messages, all you can get is the numbers. You can't get content. At that point, I was pretty well convinced that he wasn't dead."
With a dogged detective who was unwilling to accept that this drowning was a simple accident, the question now became: Would Matt Sheppard ever be found, dead or alive?
Watch the full story Tuesday on "Primetime: Family Secrets" at 10 p.m. ET

Poll: Should I delete The Twisted Side of Love? Please only vote if you've read. Vote Now!
Author has written 19 stories for Flight 29 Down, Gossip Girl, Sonny with a Chance, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Harry Potter.
we are young; we are S T R O N G-
we're not looking for where we belong.
we're not cool--we are F R E E
and we're running with blood on our knees.
Yello, peoples. This little profile page is for those readers who absolutely have to know quirky facts about fanfiction authors because they are attracted to The Way of the Stalker. Don't worry, loves, there's a little stalker in all of us! (Which is just me trying to say that I'm one too. :P) I figure that if there really are dangerous stalker-type readers here, they probably want to know my name, social security number, place of residence, and date of birth. Oh, and appearance. Well. I'll do my best to satisfy your craving, but really? My appearance? What are you trying to do- set me up on a blind date? Hey, if you're my high school friend in disguise- no, I did not just give you an idea.
PEOPLE PEOPLE SCROLL DOWN TO URGENT NOTE NUMERO DOS before finishing this profile/getting down to the tab with my stories. I swear it's for your own good.
Name: It's not Melody. And it certainly has nothing to do with words. And, no, you may not call me Mel. There's only one Mel on my profile page... and she's a fictional character. Oh... whatever. It's just weird for me to call myself Mel when I have a perfectly good name in the real world. :) I guess you can... I guess...
Social Security Number- Contains numerical values that are supposedly very important, but we all know that system is DOOMED.
Place of Residence: A-boring-place, U.S.A. Not to be confused with Middle-of-Nowhere, U.S.A.
Date of Birth: I was ALMOST born on April Fool's Day. Yeah. I know. My parents made a lame joke about calling me Fooly... don't ask.
Appearance: I'm Indian, sucka, and that's all you're gonna get from me! And I swear, if one more person asks me what tribe I'm from, someone is going to become uncomfortably acquainted with my not-so-melodious Indian-stereotypical-criminal-crushing-police force. Yes, they really do beat up criminals. No, I'm not endorsing violence. To be honest, I think I cried during those parts of Indian movies. But those were in my younger days! Psh, I haven't cried in, like... a while. A very LONG while. Yup. (Just to clarify- Indian means FROM INDIA. Not Native American. Are we good? OK, cool. Proceed. ) ;)
And yes, I do realize that the above information does in fact make me vulnerable to stalking and possibly a series of unfortunate events (no copyright infringement intended, seriously) resulting from this stalking. I do realize that at this very moment, there may very well be a large, rough madman ringing my doorbell waiting to pounce on my innocent self. Ah, well. We girls just never learn internet safety, do we?
URGENT NOTE NUMERO DOS: For those of you who wonder why I've decided to make like Reepicheep and fall off the edge of the world (Narnia reference, couldn't resist), it's because of my stupidity. You see, I'm extra paranoid when it comes to my fanfiction and I don't like the idea of people I know reading these works and recognizing them as mine (with the exception of my best friend and my darling little sister). For this reason, I worked on my fanfictions in Microsoft OneNote and password protected the section devoted to fanfiction. Then, for no reason, I decided to change the password after about 2 years of using the same perfectly good password.
Hello, Darlings. Yes, I AM talking to the Darling family from Peter Pan...
oh, I wish!
No, I'm just feeling particularly old-timey. I think it's charming. Then again, I do create stories in my head that manipulate my favorite characters and make them slightly OOC, or AU, or absolutely, wonderfully, nonsensically, romantic-al. And yes, I did invent that word. Hey, if WhenLighteningStrikes can invent "cheesangst", I can invent "romantical." But I'm digressing again.
I suppose you could say that this is my official (yet, somehow unofficial) apology for any OOCness or AUness in my fanfics. It is fanfiction after all. Come to think of it, you could also say this is my official (yet unofficial) disclaimer! Actually, scratch that. You don't make these wise observations. I do. Mm-hmm!
As a sidenote to my Flight 29 Down readers: No, I have not forgotten my first fandom(love). I just feel really bad, because The Twisted Side of Love is one OOC fic. EVERYONE'S OOC, and that's just a major fail for me, even if I do have an unofficially official apology for OOCness. So, I'm probably going to take the fic off of fanfiction and retouch every chapter, maybe even scrap whole chapters, and repost it someday. Quite simply, Jackson does not seem like the type to let his hormones automatically get the best of him, and Melissa isn't a torrent of emotions. If any of you have a problem with this, please do vote on my poll or send me a PM. Gracias ;)

-Paragraph(s) for the Awesome People on this Site for lack of a better name because I'm not the most original person in the world, oh-KAY??-
OK, so I absolutely adore this reviewer! And so, I am going to give her a shoutout because she is SOOOOOO encouraging! RandomnessSmiles- your reviews give me a smile and inspire me to write more. Seriously; I've always thought I wasn't that great at writing, but because you are made of AWESOMENESS, you tell me differently. I love, love, love your reviews! Honestly, I think you're giving me more credit than I deserve! :D So, now that I've thoroughly embarrassed (or made you smile so hard it hurts- now you know how I feel like when I read your reviews!), I'll let you go. I just felt like dedicating this too-short paragraph to you. :)
And, ok, this person is just SO frickin AWESOME of a writer, that I just have to post the link to their profile. If you're in the mood for some wicked, pee-your-pants, face-muffling, laugh-out-loud funny HSM fics... somewhereonlyiknow . This author is past amazing, m'dears. I don't care if he/she doesn't know I exist- he/she's wickedly brilliant! I belly-laughed! That doesn't happen very often, you know. I may be very hyper on this site and all, but I'm so shy even I get annoyed. Yes. It is true; I am not lying.
The winner of the Longest Review EVER goes to someone from GERMANY! madlytrulydeeply, I'd like to inform you that I am madly, truly, deeply infatuated and obsessed with your country. World, please note that Germany is a beautiful country filled with beautiful fanfic readers and equally (if not more!) beautiful REVIEWERS! That's two reviewers from there already, and both were adorable about 'bad grammar'- What bad grammar?? :D I loved them so much! Your review was sweet and thoughtful and beautifully loong, that it counted as five- freakishly beautiful- hundred reviews, and I do love ramblers, because that means we can ramble nonsensically together and we won't care. "The writing was so profound-" "I know! She flowed this way with her words-" "Like a river or a lake, or ooh! One of those bubbly streams-" "No, something sadder. More depressing. A stream with pollution in it-" "Oh, my, did you see that polluted river thing by the van der Woodsen's summer home? It was so-" "-disgusting, I know! And it smelled something awful. Ugh, hey-" "-what's that smell?" "Bacon!" ... Sorry. Um, I tend to ramble, and I'm pretty dang sure that this rambling convo would have somehow wound up in Rome. You know. Amazing as Germany (and the U.S... and India!) may be, all roads do lead to Rome. Including twisting, winding, rambling, random paths that travel through dark alleys and past polluted streams and smell like bacon. Rome, baby. That's where it's at! :) JK. I think I'm high off of your review (wouldn'tbeafirst). Somebody slap me... :-o But, yeaah. You're pretty amazing. But I'm guessing your opinion of me has lessened... considerably... oops. I told you to slap me! LOL, thanks for rambling with me!
And here's the other German reviewer I love so much! Her name is so great (although a bit long- could I shorten it? Nickname your nickname?). 3words8letterssayitandIamyours (phew!) is so sweet to me! Unbearably sweet! Undeniably sweet! Unfailingly sweet! And she has great taste in music, too. ;) 3words (here's your nickname!) is a very rambly person, and I'm so glad because it makes me feel less awkward in this unfortunately sane world. 3words is not only sweet, but very insightful, and adorably abashed with her 'bad grammar'. I also think she's older than me. Yeah, she probably is, so maybe I shouldn't call her adorable, but I think that's ok, because she seems like the type of person who would willingly walk on a yellow brick road (smelling of bacon) to Rome. :) Thank you so much for sharing your sweetness! Your randomness! Your musical taste! THANK YOU! We should ramble again sometime. Also, heads up to any (incredibly patient... or possibly bored) people reading my page and this paragraph: if you're German, I heard 3words is a fantastic angst/romance Chair writer! And we here (yes, I'm using plural because I believe I'm secretly royal blood... lol, no) adore fantastic Chair writers, even if we can't read their language!
Finally! My best friend for life in real life has joined the wonderful world of fanfiction! (hehe, now I can personally watch her get addicted ) LOL. :D So happy, so happy, so happy... theirishleprechaun , folks. Yeah. We're American (obviously :D), but she's of European origins. French and Scottish and Irish and British and... well, yeah. And she's a ginger! So show some love to the forgotten gingers of this world! Yo. BFFL. I LOVE YOU, SIS! (Nooo, stalkers, she isn't my real sister. Swiper, no swiping.) ;) So, guess what. This BFF of mine? She's the outspoken one. I'm the quiet one. ... I know. :D :D :D Plus, she was the first one to actually introduce me to this site! I know! I got an account first, but before that, I was a mere reader, occasionally anonymously reviewing. It's all thanks to my best friend that I know this place exists. :) And she gets this short paragraph because no one else deserves to have my bff as their bff, so back off! lol, jk. It's because to tell you more would be to give private info. And yeah, I'm not that stupid. Sorry. ;)
HI NOT JUST A NERD. It's about high time you got a paragraph, don't you think? I think so :) Sooo, NJaN (I'm just gonna randomly abbreviate your penname here...) is an excellent Jalex writer who never does seem to run out of inspiration like I do :P We're both Indian, we both adore Demi Lovato (because she's amazing. end of story.), and we both are so COOOOL. hahaha ;) She also has a fictionpress account (as if fanfiction wasn't enough!) and a tumblr. If you're interested, PM her. The reason she's so cool is because she is wise enough to see that the caste system is completely wrong. She's fun and talented and has lots of common sense. The whole reason we became friends is because after I wrote my first Jalex story, she saw on my profile that I ship MasonxAlex, so she sent a PM asking about it. That led to an ongoing conversation about Disney stars, why Justin Bieber feels the need to date older girls, our Indian-ness, and other such mysteries of life. Check her out!
Well, this was where I had my Christmas gift request. Unfortunately, I got coal. Wipe my tears away and LeAvE A. R e v i e w?

: From Afar (complete- I'm sorry, Mel.)
: To Color His Love (complete- My first fluff fic in... omgosh, it's my second ever fluff oneshot. Why am I so depressing?! One day, I'll edit it. I had some problems describing Blair's skin color in the candlelight. It's not completely pale... but... oh, it'll come to me one day. Someone actually sent me an (accidentally) hilarious, yet outrageously rude flame over Blair's skin color, so I haven't even bothered to edit yet. SOMEDAY.)
: To Be A Prince (complete- I started this oneshot before To Color His Love, but Muse-y likes to take me on winding paths and throw new fics and stuff into my lap. Who am I to say no?)
: Slime Slipping Through Cracks In A Porcelain Vase (complete- I am seriously proud of this one, because my GossipGirl HERO, Norreigne, liked it, so... yes. I am a ball of happiness, which is currently preventing me from writing angst. Oops.)
: The Best Part of Chattering (complete- First Channy fluff. This is me when I'm feeling adorable and cutesy and have no raging hurricanes of angst boiling within and- oh. Sorry. Yeah, enjoy!)
: Every Once In A While (complete- not entirely angst, not entirely romance. just... general, i suppose. In a way, it's sort of a comeback fic, which is my excuse for it not being up to par :P)
: Like Curtains Over A Tragedy (complete- so, Mel isn't really that much of a pushover, and I felt so guilty over Twisted Side. So, it's kind of angst, but she's rising up, if that makes sense. Chapter 2 is more of an epilogue, really.)
: Four Letter Words (complete- Poor Chuck should have learned his lesson. Um, this has a little bit of humor and dialogue, elements I normally don't write into my angst fics, but it felt a bit more real that way. I think it's missing something...)
: Running Through A Field Of Sunflowers (complete- ma first Wizards of Waverly Place fic. I'm extremely excited, because it was a gift to my bffl theirishleprechaun, and it's absolute fluff. BUT INCEST, SO BE WARNED)
: Shining Like a Lighthouse (complete- SWAC fic- Sonny centric. Be confused. It's not really a polished fic because it kinda exploded out of me :P On the bright side, writing is excellent therapy.)
: Operation Get Back (complete- SWAC oneshot- total T-rated fluff. Humor/Romance. It took forever to write, but it was so much fun xD warning: Rated T for a reason.)
: Gray Streaked Tangles (complete- first Harry Potter fic. An exploration: what would Hermione be like if she lost the love she was given?)
COMING UP: A multi-chap Harry Potter fic! In which Ron is captured by a mysterious enemy, a prejudiced unknown serial killer is on the prowl, and Hermione must learn the dangerous art of Tracing to uncover a grudge somehow related to the ancient family of Gaunt.
I have 2 possible Wizards of Waverly Place fics, but I'm not sure about one of them. It's kinda sorta complete, if you consider a muddled mess complete :P I'm also considering trying my hand at another multi chap story- this one being WoWP- while waiting for more poll results for Twisted Side. I've already typed up an epilogue and two chapters, but I'm still not sure :P Please continue to inspire me! Thanks for staying with me, even though I keep disappearing. And to my Twisted Side of Love readers- please do vote on the poll. It's super important. Thanks! Maybe, reviews will help me get all those other ideas past the first two paragraphs ;) hint hint!
Hey. Again. I know, I know, what more could I possibly have to say?
Not that I'm desperate or anything...
:coughs nervously:
I, uh, I'd really like it if you, uh, ahem, seriously did give me that consolation present...
You know... since Santa gave me coal...
A review?
Pretty please?
Really? You will?
:violently attacks you with a bear hug:
Oh, thank you thank you thankyouthankyouthankyou! Muah!
You know I'll remember your promise, right? I will. I'll hold it over your head forever.
Did you hear that?
F o r e v e r.
As in, long after we're gone.
So, you'd better give me that present.
Not that I'm threatening you...
and I'm definitely NOT desperate...
Right. So. Review. Yeah.
You go do that.
Forgive me for my addiction to reviews.
NOTES: 1. I now have a tumblr here. 2. Would my F29Down readers PLEASE vote on my polls above? I really do need the input, because I'm on the verge of deleting 1, possibly 2 stories. :O 3. You may have noticed that I'm in love with all things anime/manga. If you are too, I highly recommend "Faster than a Kiss". And then, once you read it... write some good fanfiction for it, kay? Loveyou :)
this i n n o c e n c e is brilliant.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great movie. Poor Blu-ray.
This short review is about the quality of this BFI release of Seven Samurai, not the actual film which in itself is worthy of five stars. The print used by the BFI for this Blu-ray has not been remastered, there is a lot of damage and scratches inherent in the print and the blacks look very grey.
Extras are lacklustre, an interview and trailer is all you get...

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily One of the Finest Films of the 20th Century,
Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Samurai - Criterion Collection [DVD] [1954] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Clocking in at just under four hours with not a scrap of filler, Kurosawa's THE SEVEN SAMURAI is every bit as legendary at its enthusiasts would have you believe.
The basic story is extremely simple. In a period of social chaos, a small farming village learns it will once more be attacked by a band of thirty bandits after the harvest. At first the farmers despair, but village elder Gisaku (Kokuten Kodo) recalls that in his childhood a similar village met a similar situation by hiring Samurai to defend them. The villagers accordingly send representatives to the city, where they are able to convince Samurai Kambei Shimada (Takashi Shimura) to undertake the defense.
If the plot sounds familiar, it should: Hollywood would translate it into the extremely popular 1960 western THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN--but fine though that film is, it pales beside THE SEVEN SAMURAI, which effectively turns an action film premise into a character study of the first order and endows the story with both tremendous simplicity and artistry. Much of this is due an extraordinary ensemble cast, which includes the celebrated Toshiro Mifune (who would later appear in Kurosawa's THRONE OF BLOOD and YOJIMBO); above this, however, is Kurosawa's remarkable vision that draws upon the visual motif of the circle.
The circle is a powerful presence in SAMURAI. The village is presented as a roughly circular pattern of houses; the farmers meet in circles; in due time the Samurai enter the circle and stand at the center of the circle, directing the defense--and indeed the circle will become the defense, as Shimada works to find means to draw the bandits into the circle and to their doom. The motif will be elaborated: tied to the cycle of seed time, growth time, and harvest; tied to the cycle of life; and ultimately showing the quiet bitterness of life for those who operate outside the circular codes of community: the "Ronin," the Samurai who have no master and no community, and whose lives are not valued by the community except for aid at a moment of crisis.
Shot in simple black and white, as much (if not more) a detailed character and culture study as it is an action film, THE SEVEN SAMURAI is extremely simple and yet extremely subtle, and ultimately one of the most powerful films it has been my pleasure to review. The quality of the Criterion DVD transfer is very good, but by no means flawless--although it survives well, the film has not been digitally restored, and artifacts are frequent. There is little in the way of bonus material, but the commentary by Michael Jeck is quite fine. Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmissable,
Amazon Customer "Boo62" (Ilkeston Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Criterion Collection: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is one of a small handful of films that transcend the label 'classic' and are essential.
Seven samurais influences are many and varied like so much else that Kurosawa directed. A seemingly simple tale of a roaming band of masterless samurai find fulfilment and destiny when they agree to protect a defenceless village that is being raided by a ruthless band of marauders.
Kurosawa pulled out all the stops as the action builds to a monumental and iconic final showdown fought in pouring rain.
Criterion have already released this earier in their catalogue. It contained the best available print of the film and a fine commentary by film expert Michael Jeck.
That commentary is included once again here, ( a wise move as it's a good one), along with an all new commentary by a group of film historians.Along with the commentaies there are 2 documentaries looking at the making of the film and it's influences that include much input from all involved and together last about 90 minutes.
The sound is still mono but coherent and lively. The print however has been mastered again and is superb, black and white this may be but it looks far better than a 52 year old film has any right to.
You get an awful lot for your money over the 3 discs but there is one inclusion that towers above all else here and that is the brilliant interview 'my life in cinema' where Kurosawa talks to interviewer Nagisa Oshima,(a filmaker himself), about his life and the films he has made. This allows the viewer to audience what is simply the best and most fact packed conversation with the great director available. The 2 hours running time is over before you know it.
Add to this a gallery, trailers and an excellent booklet containing essays by Kurosawas favourite lead Toshiro Mifune, Sidney Lumet and Arthur Penn amongst others and this is an unmissable DVD that no collection is complete without.
If you know and love Seven samurai then don't delay this is essential and if you've never seen this or are not a big fan of foreign language films then put your reservations to one side and take the plunge, you will not be disapponted.
If you enjoy this then try 'Yojimbo' and ' Kagemusha' also by Kurosawa and for a fascinating and detailed insight into Kurosawa and Mifune 'The emperor and the wolf' by Stuart Galbraith IV is very well researched and written.

4.0 out of 5 stars on the Blu-ray Steelbook,
Ralf Bader (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Samurai (Steelbook) [Blu-ray] [DVD] (Blu-ray)
the good news:
- it's a very beautiful disc-case
- booklet, 12 pages
- Tony Rayns on AK, 49 mins
- you can play the film with the original intermission
- thanks to BR/24fps it's the "full" length of ca. 207 mins
the not so good news:
- the transfer doesn't seem to be art-of-state (the restoration was made by Toho, the BFI only "further" restored it)
it doesn't look nor sound great, rather good DVD-standard
- the subtitles are ok, but there are still many things just not translated, so I wonder how good the existing subtitles really are

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Kurosawa,
MF Castillo "MisterMelv" (North East, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] (DVD)
A village constantly terrorised by bandits enlist the aid of Samurais to help them defend their homes.
Not only is this a tale about honour and heroism, but it is a tale of social divide between Samurai (a status of upmost importance and somewhat royalty) and peasant (base class of Japan). We need to be told that what ever family you were born into, that is the profession you would take upon adulthood. So if you were born to a farmer, it would a farmer's life for you. Born into nobility of a Samurai, than a Samurai you would be.
The relationship betweenthe Samurais hired and the peasants I believe is the focal point of the story. From the peasants absolute gratitude for Samurais who would help them for a pittance to gradual resentment of the Samurai presence in the village.
Despite the age of the film, it is arguably one of the best action films ever made.
Shot in Black & White (come on it was 1954 afterall) and in Japanese (with English subtiles), it doesn't diminish the superiority of the film's story, characters and setting.
The superiority of the film is emphasised even more when it was made into the multibox office hit western "The Magnificent Seven" (although in my eyes "Seven Samurai" is still head and shoulders above this remake).
Kurosawa's work are timely classics. From "Hidden Fortress" to later films like "Kagemusha", Kurosawa's depiction of this almost forgotten world are ones to behold.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great movie. Poor Blu-ray.,
This review is from: Seven Samurai (Steelbook) [Blu-ray] [DVD] (Blu-ray)
This short review is about the quality of this BFI release of Seven Samurai, not the actual film which in itself is worthy of five stars. The print used by the BFI for this Blu-ray has not been remastered, there is a lot of damage and scratches inherent in the print and the blacks look very grey.
Extras are lacklustre, an interview and trailer is all you get. If you really want to enjoy this film in Hi-def then purchase the Criterion edition from the USA. It blows the BFI edition out of the water in terms of picture quality and extras, see below:
New, restored high-definition digital transfer, with the original uncompressed monaural soundtrack and an optional DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
Two audio commentaries, one featuring film scholars David Desser, Joan Mellen, Stephen Prince, Tony Rayns, and Donald Richie, and the other Japanese film expert Michael Jeck
Fifty-minute documentary on the making of Seven Samurai, created as part of the Toho Masterworks series Akira Kurosawa: It Is Wonderful to Create
My Life in Cinema, a two-hour video conversation from 1993 between directors Akira Kurosawa and Nagisa Oshima
Seven Samurai: Origins and Influences, a documentary looking at the samurai traditions and films that helped shape Kurosawa's masterpiece
Theatrical trailers and teaser
Gallery of rare posters, behind-the scenes photos, and production stills
New and improved English subtitle translation
PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by Kenneth Turan, Peter Cowie, Philip Kemp, Peggy Chiao, Alain Silver, Stuart Galbraith, Arthur Penn, and Sidney Lumet and an interview with Toshiro Mifune from 1993.
You will need a multi-region player to play the Criterion edition. Here's the amazon link for it:

5.0 out of 5 stars The most entertaining great movie ever made,
This review is from: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] (DVD)
Every fan of movies should see a Kurosawa, and this is (along with Yojimbo) the most accessible of his many great works. The film is an artistic and technical masterpiece, but above all it is a rousing adventure story, gripping and emotionally involving from the start. The origin of the film lies in an idea for a story Kurosawa had about a samurai who made a tiny mistake and went home and committed suicide. Told this wouldn't work, he and his writing team began researching the 16th century, and became interested in the fact that villagers would hire samurai as night guards to protect them from bandits, the samurai receiving food and lodging in return. This evolved into Seven Samurai, Kurosawa's greatest jidai-geki (period drama), about desperate peasants who turn to professional warriors when bandits repeatedly raid their harvest.
Kurosawa draws fantastic performances from his cast, most notably Takashi Shimura (as the samurai leader Kambei, the living embodiment of the samurai code) and Toshiro Mifune (as the peasant turned warrior, Kikuchiyo), and marshals the elements for an astonishing climactic battle scene in the mud and the rain. This ten-minute sequence has to be seen to be believed; the images have a painterly quality (Kurosawa trained in western-style painting) but are also extremely realistic, perfectly capturing the chaos of the battlefield as figures wade through the mire, hacking at each other. I've heard it remarked that this sequence was in Spielberg's mind when he conceived the Omaha Beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan; and indeed, the use of grainy film stock, the slightly speeded-up movement and fast editing, and the depiction of war as utter chaos all seem rooted in Kurosawa.
A final word: do not be put off by the 190 minute running time or the fact that it is subtitled. Although Kurosawa has the reputation of an auteur, he was also a brilliant and influential storyteller. This is perhaps the most entertaining great movie ever made.

4.0 out of 5 stars A distilled samurai adventure,
firstname.lastname@example.com (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Samurai [VHS] [1954] (VHS Tape)
This film is a beautiful and strong adventure, based around a village and the samurai they hire to defend themselves against bandits. Both the storyline and the characterisation is strong, and Kurosawa raises many humanistic points from his situations, centering on the need for co-operation and the nature of mob-politics.
Unlike a Hollywood action-adventure film, there is also a classically Japanese undertone of poetic melancholy here, in which the samurai find themselves on the outside and destined to always spend their lives wandering. All of this gives the film the impression of being distilled and purified.
Looking at Kurosawa's whole body of work, this film stands out as the most fully-realised samurai adventure. Arguably, other works such as 'Rashomon', 'Ikiru' ('Living') or 'Throne of blood' are more complex and expressive films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure adventure in every sense of the word.,
This review is from: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] (DVD)
When i first looked at this film i admit i was apprehensive as it was a 1954 black and white film with subtitles, however after watching it you simply canot deny how great this film is. Every character is wonderfully written and acted, you really can see the difference in personality of each an every person in the film and their interactions with one and other. Akira Kurosawa does the samurai legends justice in a sprawling epic far ahead of its time.
For those who dont know much about Japanese history this film is set in the sixteenth century where bandits room the land and samurai (warriors) give there services to the highest bidder, here a farmer overhears some bandits talking about their plains to raid his village when the harvest is ready, fearing the death and destruction the bandits bring the farmers set out to higher samurai with very little money after finding the right samurai for the job they return to the village where the peasants are trained and plans are made for a defense.
This film does not need huge explosions or massivly expensive special effects it is simply a brilliant film and a must see for anyone who knows what a good film is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good cinema is global, not just from the US,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] (DVD)
A 190 minute subtitled film would put most of my friends off no matter what it was about, because any film not in English isnt worth bothering about is it? Especially one that lasts 190 minutes. Well here is more proof that truly talented film-makers have been working outside the US for decades. 7 Samurai is filmed in black and white, subtitled (not dubbed thank god) and lasts over 3 hours. However, I cant think of any other film I've ever seen that makes 190 minutes pass so effortlessly. It is intelligently written, extremely well acted, and beautifully shot. In many respects it is years ahead of its time (this is made in the mid fifties remember), with framing tricks and set pieces on par with anything seen in modern movies. Buy this film for a rainy day, and spend 3 hours or so watching masterful film-making in action. Then tell me that films like "Titanic" are any comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars What one can say about the perfection?,
Maciej "Darth Maciek" (Darth Maciek is out there...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Samurai [DVD] [1954] (DVD)
There is only a handful of films which achieved the total perfection - and this is one of them. There is nothing that could be added to it or removed from it without spoiling it. This is also one of those movies you can simply watch as many times as you want, without EVER getting bored. If I had to put together a list of movies to preserve forever after the disappearance of humanity, it would make the list. No matter how short (well, after "Star Wars"). If you didn't see it yet, you must see it NOW - after all, how often in a life do we have the occasion to see the perfection? Now that I am thinking about it - and what if THE perfection was actually in black and white? And in Japanese?

Mokulito Master Workshop with Ewa Budka
AboutEwa Budka is ELP's current self funded resident. She has recently graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Here she worked closely with the Academy of Katowice researching an alternative printmaking process Mokulito. Mokulito is an alternative printmaking process based on the principles of Lithography. It was discovered by Professor Seishi Ozaku in Japan over 30 years ago. His process replaces the traditional Bavarian slate used in lithography with a plate of plywood, which possesses the same characteristics as the Lithographic stone. Using a plywood matrix, allows the artist to make up to 25 prints. The discovery of Mokulito by Prof. Ozaku has allowed a blend of purely lithographic traces and sharp woodcut marks. Without the use of acids or harsh solvents, the Mokulito process is ideal for beginners and printmakers from all backgrounds. Her research has been awarded a scholarship in the U.S, she has lectured about her findings internationally and it has now brought her here to the UK where she continues to develop her practice. Ewa will be running this one off course at ELP in June. For more information about the course and to book please visit our website.

The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens.
CNET's Donald Bell looks at the value proposition of Apple's latest 16GB iPod Touch -- and doesn't like what he sees.
The iPod Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill.
The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.
Apple has refreshed its iPod Touch lineup, but repairing the new 16GB edition remains a challenge, according to an iFixit teardown.
Tech giant adds a new rear-facing camera and four new colors to its 16GB model, bringing it to parity with higher-tier versions.
New physical mockups and comparisons point to the next iPhone being as thin as the iPod Touch. iWatch samples are under production and new MacBook Airs with speed bumps are here.
Refurbs are going like hotcakes, but who's buying them?
Lovefilm's now showing on an iPhone or iPod touch near you, with AirPlay support and credits and trivia from the IMDb.
Support for the two Wi-Fi devices will arrive Thursday as part of an update to the BlackBerry Messenger iOS app.

Who you gonna call? Graffiti busters!
CORPUS CHRISTI - Its overnight home is a former welding shop, it guzzles 50-pound bags of baking soda, and, with the right attachment, it can tear through wood.
But the best features of the city's new graffiti removal tool, its operators say, is that it is mobile, completely changing how graffiti is removed from public property.
Since the truck's official start on June 25, equipment operators have been putting in 10-hour shifts five days a week fighting vandalism that often reappears days after treatment.
Operator Johnny Garcia starts his daily routine at sunrise, unlocking a chain-link fence that protects the white, modified Ford F-550 flatbed truck from would-be vandals at a Solid Waste Services department parking lot. He begins checking fluids and switches on four gadgets on the truck's back ranging in size from a small oven to a refrigerator.
The truck is outfitted with a power washer, which streams water heated to 240 degrees at as many as 3,000 pounds per square inch; a sandblaster that spews water with sodium bicarbonate (a type of baking soda); and a lock box of commercial aerosol and graffiti-removal products.
Garcia and his co-worker that day, Pete Garza, head to their first assignment after checking the oil on the truck and its machines, filling it up with 225 gallons of water and stocking up on cleaning products.
Driving to their first assignment of the day -- a parking lot south of the South Texas Institute for the Arts near the American Bank Center -- a patchwork of words, caricatures and line segments baking into the seawall under hot sun awaits the men.
Garcia and Garza first set up cones around three of the heaviest-hit areas and set their sights on the first grouping -- a six-character phrase about eight feet long and three feet high that could to be a nickname or slang.
After taking photos of the graffiti for police evidence, the men unfurl a hose with an attached power washer wand and take turns unleashing the water. Making several sweeps, the top coat comes off.
They pause to spare the occasional passerby from the boiling water or to change attachments. The sandblaster then turns the black spray paint into faint shadows.
"It does the job," Garza says while packing up to move the truck a few yards down the seawall after spending about an hour on the first marking.
"It's time consuming, that's all," Garcia says. "You still see a little shade, but the dirt and grime that builds up on concrete will make it so it won't even be visible."
Since the graffiti truck officially was put into use, the crew has cleaned 64 locations, about 12,630 square feet of property, and has used more than 8,840 gallons of water, says Lawrence Mikolajczyk, assistant director of the city's Solid Waste Services department and manager of the truck.
"At least 30 percent of what we've cleaned has been re-tagged," Mikolajczyk says. "That's just part of the job. We'll continue returning and cleaning it up until they stop tagging or police have captured them."
According to Mikolajczyk, at least 80 percent of the 18 parks eradicated of graffiti earlier this year have been targeted again.
Spots such as utility poles, metal utility boxes and walls near roads or sidewalks are the easiest to clean, he said.
Without a firm benchmark to compare, Mikolajczyk says the team's work has been successful in its first month and counting. Until a business plan for the truck is approved by the City Council, expected by September, Mikolajczyk sets targets to be cleaned by driving around the city weekly and taking reports from other city departments.
If the plan is approved, residents will be able to report graffiti through the city's call center, and with the signing of a waiver, the crew will be able to clean private property marred by graffiti, he says.
Incoming requests for service likely will be electronically dispatched to an onboard computer. Severe graffiti, especially on public property, will receive a higher priority.
Before the arrival of the graffiti truck, a $77,000 purchase from Crime Control and Prevention District funds, graffiti on city property was handled by individual departments and usually was just painted over, Mikolajczyk says.
Toward the end of Garcia and Garza's work near the art center, a walker stops and peers down at the men, giving a thumbs up and a smile.
"It's amazing how the paint just comes right off," says Mario Hernandez, a 55-year-old Corpus Christi resident. "I wish they could do the same thing for my tattoos."
Graffiti is a problem in the city, he says, and has been for years.
A gazebo and concrete slab of the pool in the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Park on Greenwood was tagged the third weekend of July. The week before, a Vietnam War memorial on Bloomington Street in Molina Veterans Park was tagged.
In June, the police department knew of 32 tagging crews, with an estimated 100 members, according to Ben Teed, an officer with the Juvenile Enforcement Team. The tagging seems to be from rival crews looking to outdo one another and claim domain.
Garcia says he puts it out of his head when an area he cleans gets hit again.
"I kind of get upset, but what can you do?" he says. "But if the public doesn't see it, even for a few days, it makes them happy."
After two hours working near the art museum, Garcia and Garza pack up the truck and get ready to refill its water tank. Dozens of square feet of graffiti are gone, and the only record remains in Garcia's digital camera.

Kushed god signs everywhere he go
You don't know, ask around maybe Siri know
Lyric Meaning
Smoke DZA (The "DZA" standing for "Dream Zone Achieved" in case you didn't know) self proclaims himself as the "Kushed God". He has gained much popularity over the years with his weed anthem type songs, even though he does not consider himself a "weed rapper", but a "lifestyle rapper". "Siri" is a software on new iPhone models that offers the option to ask the application for directions or any other search question. So if you don't know about Smokey (DZA), who knows, maybe Siri does.
