The Grave of the Fireflies places a pair of warm, gentle hands around your heart; these hands know which strings to pull and when—the emotional reaction this causes is as subtle as the movie.
The film, Made originally in 1988, dubbed in English in 1994 has been reviewed more than three dozen times. However it is a film that would inspire all but the most curmudgeonly person to have to put in her or his two cents.
Seita is the scion of a Japanese family whose patriarch is at sea during World War II. After his mother dies, he becomes the sole caretaker of his much younger sister Setsuko. After their home town is bombed into dust, they move in with a distant aunt who is stereotypically resentful of the children partly because, since Seita's father is in the Navy, their rations would be larger. She is an unpleasant but not abusive person. Despite this, Seita and Setsuko create a home for themselves in the opening of a mine. Here they create an idyll in the midst of the falling of the Empire of Japan. Here they discover the fireflies that create the image and antithesis for the film. The children use the fireflies to light their beds under a mosquito net. After a very short while the fireflies die and Setsuko buries them lamenting their short lives. As will happen to idylls built on a foundation of a nation being bombed, it falls apart. I will not go into further details—I believe I could and the impact would be the same, but for the sake of emotional freshness, I will refrain.
The fireflies provide a child-like image of hope. For one thing, they are always the stuff of childhood. I look at them now and still get the urge to catch a few—we call them lightening bugs in my part of the country, but the desire is the same regardless of their moniker. They stand in stark contrast to the incendiary devices dropped by the plains, they are also a light in much the same way, but they fall bringing destruction and hopelessness. This war of images and the emotional impact are what make this movie so beautiful.
Brits can tell mysteries better than anyone else; it is just a cultural specialty. Japanese can do animation better than anyone else. For one thing, they don't consider animation a childish pursuit. They have cartoons for kids, anime for teens, and movies like The Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away, and Steamboy for adults. The Japanese animators (and directors of live action also for that matter) understand the importance of stillness and silence. These elements allow for reflection—for an American audience, this might seem mean since the things you are to reflect on are not pleasant.
The synthesis between the fireflies and incendiary bombs is the pocket of time for a child to become an adult by the worst means possible. We must remember that children do not start wars. Wars are brought to children. No idea, no ideal, no natural resource like oil is worth looking into the eyes of a child and seeing the fear or worse, the hopelessness.
Times like the one we are living now and the one represented in this overwhelming movie make me want to believe desperately in Hell. Hell is for the people who start wars. Hell is for people who don't protect and prepare children but harm or kill them. (I feel the same way about animals for the same reason.) Children do not ask to be brought into the world and have to rely heavily on others for a significant portion of their lives. Once they are born, there are guidelines for raising them to protect them from danger until they can learn, then begin to prepare them for the world so it isn't a shock. There are children of many dead and injured American soldiers right now who have had a war brought home to them, an unnecessary war.
Let's look at this for a moment from the perspective of those too young to do anything about it but old enough to know at least part of what is happening. Japan launched a war against China in 1931 and attacked the United States ten years later. America had to respond. However, the children are neither to blame nor should they have to pay a penalty for the sins of their fathers. Yet they do. The United States attacked Iraq in a war of desire, not need. Children in Iraq suffer not much differently than Seita and Setsuko.
This is what makes me a pacifist. I look into the eyes of a 3 year old or a 6 year old and see potential and something that is endless for them because they cannot imagine an end. The thought that someone else's prejudice, hatred, political ideology, desire for natural resources could cause direct harm to children like this makes me want to vomit.
What makes The Grave of Fireflies the success that it is, is also what hurts the most. The idyll that Seita creates for him self and his sister—that he sacrifices for her—is a momentary respite from what you know is coming. The beginning tells you what is coming, but the idyll can make you forget what is going on around them. A society of two near a stream in an area surrounded by destruction cannot last. The proximity of the reality will invade it. So the moments of peace and joy that makes childhood childhood just set the viewer up for what she and he already knows is coming.
I recommend not watching it alone. I recommend not talking about it either. Let it sink in, then watch a comedy you like to help balance the mental palate. Fireflies isn't hopeless and bleak, but you still may need a sweeter taste of something to balance the very bittersweet nature of this fantastic journey.

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
A1988 animated film written and directed by Isao Takahata. This is the first film produced by Shinchosha, who hired Studio Ghibli to do the animation production work. It is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister.
Taking place toward the end of World War II in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies is the tale of the relationship between two orphaned children, Seita (清太) and his younger sister Setsuko (節子). The children lose their mother in the firebombing of Kobe, and their father in service to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and as a result are forced to try to survive amidst widespread famine and the callous indifference of their countrymen, some of whom are their own extended family members.

Hayden Sutherland was involved in the early days of web development and has been pivotal in the implementation of some of the largest and most highly regarded sites on the internet.
His expertise...
For the last five years he has run Ideal Interface, an eCommerce and Digital Marketing consultancy based in Scotland. Although predominantly consulting in the retail sector (River Island, AllSaints Clothing, Sainsbury's, etc.) the company has now built up a number of clients in the financial services, travel & tourism and other vertical markets. www.idealinterface.co.uk
He can usually be found Tweeting about anything from Social Media, eCommerce and multi-channel attribution through to reality TV contestants and the weather in Glasgow @haydens30
In the first instalment of his new column, e-commerce expert Hayden Sutherland lays out 12 facts you should know if you're planning on developing an e-commerce website.
1. Core proposition
Make sure you know more than just 'what' you are selling, but 'why'.
(Examples such as "just to make money" or "because that what we are good at" doesn't really cut it). This should map your proposition back to your brand promise… Remember, you're not just selling something such as a mobile phone; you're there to help users communicate better and more effectively.
2. Products, price and profit
Understand not just your product catalogue (structure, naming, etc.) and the retail prices you want to sell at… but also what prices you could mark each product down to during a sale. Also, knowing which products have the highest margin will also give you some idea of how to merchandise and promote them.
3. Customer acquisition
Understand how you are realistically going to get customers to your site. Whenever anyone tells me "oh, we'll just let people find us" or something similar, I tell them the Internet is not a Field of Dreams (If you build it, they DON'T come). You must have your approach to marketing: acquisition AND retention nailed before you even start.
4. Fulfilment
Assuming you have physical product to sell… Just how are you going to store and then pick/pack/dispatch your products off to your customers? Selecting the right fulfilment partner is the key factor in providing an effective delivery service. But also make sure you have a process for swiftly handling returned goods (and possibly handing back the money).
5. Measurement
Do you know what you'll even measure before you start? Have you got your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) agreed in advance and are you aware who needs to get access to them? Most website managers know that an analytics package can capture clicks and further detailed usage across the site… but less of them actually ensure their analytics are correctly set up in the first place.
6. User Experience
Is your site easy to use? Does it fit the user expectations of an e-commerce site? Does it help visitors complete their goals? To start with you should understand who your typical customers are and then build the best possible experience for them.
Not sure if you've created a site that works exactly as planned? Then test, test and test again to make sure. The tools to do this aren't expensive these days and you don't need hundreds of tests to find the main issues.
7. Technology
Yes, sure you need to look at what software your site use. However it's not just about the technology platform your content and catalogue sits on, it's the devices your customers use to browse and buy. I also see a lot of companies at the early stages of creating an e-commerce site dive into the 'nuts & bolts' of specific pieces of functionality, when actually they need to worry about the size, scale and supportability of their online operation.
8. Seasonality
Don't just plan to sell the same stuff all year round and at the same average volumes. Understand that customer needs vary over time and even pretty regular products can have peaks & troughs in both demand and supply.
9. Content
Just because you're selling products doesn't mean you shouldn't produce great content and optimise it as you go. Some of the biggest e-commerce sites use content marketing techniques to build traffic & engagement and to drive users through to the right products.
10. Customer Service
The biggest web trading myth is that once you've moved to an online retailing model you can then ignore your other customer service channels. Well unfortunately you can't keep all users happy with just a simple FAQ (frequently asked questions) page. Often the opposite is true though and just because you have a 'low touch' approach online, your prospects might still need the 'high touch' from a human being to convert or complain!
11. Manage your inventory
There is no point trying to selling stuff online that you don't have, whether this be a concert ticket, a fridge freezer or a child's toy…you just end up disappointing your customers. But on the other hand it's inefficient just filling a warehouse full of products for months or to have seats empty for an event. Learn what quickly shifts and quickly shift what doesn't.
12. Enjoy it!
According to most available research, the global e-commerce market is due to increase over the next 3 to 5 years. For some just venturing out it is early days, but luckily there are a lot of good examples of e-commerce best practice in existence to learn from.

Totally agree! This is a sound endorsement in my experience of why you need to consider the full end to end user journey in your ecommerce plans - from attracting potential users, to engaging them, then converting them and finally retaining them.
Nice article. I run an e-commerce gadget and gift store and feel you have forgotten to mention the two main points. SEO and online marketing. Without these, setting up an e store will be a waste of time and money for anyone.
Nice Article! Shared on all our Social Platforms. You should add that once mastered all the basic ecommerce essentials you can add a social layer kind of like the one that Social Annex provides. Having this kind of Social Layer can ultimately help businesses and i really think you should really write an article about justifying social into ones businesses plan.
Remarkable things here. I am very satisfied to see your post. Thanks a lot and I'm looking forward to touch you. Will you please drop me a mail? Ecommerce" rel="nofollow">http://www.ferozitech.com/ecommerce-web-development">Ecommerce Website Development

Gear Question
Do any of the versions have a center mark?...
Do any of the versions have a center mark? Specs say no, but one pic looks like it has one.
Jacob Crabb
I'm fairly certain that for this particular make of rope there is no center mark. The various "versions" offered for the Flash vary strictly in length and color (with superdry option). Otherwise they are all the same.
Daniel Wilson
Mine has a center mark. Two black sections about 6in long mark the midpoint.

A dozen high-quality cuts of beef are listed on the menu as well as several a la carte sides—potato gnocchi, sweet creamed corn, button mushrooms, and so forth—but there are other superb entrées, too, such as juicy grilled lamb chops with a parmesan and pine nut crust, or moist organic Fire Chicken with lemon-rosemary sauce, garnished with red and green slow-roasted jalapenos.

OK, I love ya'lls site here. I do a lot of lurking, but have been into the AR scene for a while, so I've been inactive in the foreign arms realm for a while, but I gonna jump in this summer. I've shot AKs for quite some time and they were my first love, so I want to be able to work on them as well as shoot.
I've been debating between 3 main kit builds:
1.) An AMD - 65. Arms of America has a good deal on the kits and I'll get a No-Dak 65. Looks like everything should turn out right under the $400 range.
2.) A Bulgy -74 in 5.45. All my current AKs are in 7.62 so this would give a change up.
3.) Polish under-folder. Something different and I could save over buying a CAI build and hopefully do a better job.
Any thoughts, advice, criticisms . . .? Maybe I don't have the brain capacity to complete a build? ?

I have olily, acnee prone skin, this mask does nothing for me. I am not a big fan of this smell, it has nothing to do with chocolate or strawberry.

Smells nice and looks like chocolate.
Other than the strawberry chocolate scent this does nothing for my skin.
I also hate how childish most of the Freeman masks look.
I think Freeman makes much better masks than this one. I will not be repurchasing.

I love this Chocolate & Strawberry mask! It really helps on my oiliest days. It smells wonderful, too. It's a nice mix of both Chocolate & Strawberries, yum! The texture is smooth & thick. It dries quickly & rinses cleanly. I only need a small dab to cover my face & upper neck, so a tube lasts a long time. It's a great deal @ about $4 per tube. I've used it for several years later on a weekly basis & still grab the foil packets for trips. Even the foil packets give me 2 or 3 uses. I just clip or tape it to keep it fresh. It even slashes the size of blemishes for me w/out smelling medicinal!

I bought this today and applied it just right now as I was very xcited to try it for its amazing irresistible smell. But it did nothing amazing to my skin and made it a bit dry :( though my skin is oily i hoped it will suit me well. But highly disappointed. I liked there charcoal and sugar mask though

I purchased it because it was on sale and people said it smelled really good.
It does smell like chocolate icecream but I kind of felt sick from the strong sweet smell after a while.
The mask is very drying and it's not for people who don't have extremely oily skin.
It's easy to apply and I may continue to use it only on oily areas.
I like that it's not hard to wash off but you have to be careful to get all of it off or it will continue to dry your skin.

This mask smells delectable! I wouldn't say it moisturizes my skin like it says on the bottle but it does leave my skin looking and feeling clean, soft, and smooth. Definitly the perfect mask for a girls night or to relax! I will keep buying this mask simply because it smells so good! If you're looking for a really deep purifying mask I would recommend the lemon and mint clay mask from freeman. This one is more of a treat.

I received it as a gift from a friend. It smells so good. It's got a thick enough texture so it feels really nice. However, I didn't really see any difference in my skin. It comes off fairly easily and leaves skin smooth.

(NASDAQ:AVAV) today introduced a series of enhancements to the battle-proven RQ-20A Puma AE small unmanned aircraft system that include new features and capabilities. AeroVironment's Puma AE unmanned aircraft system (UAS) (Photo: Business Wire) AeroVironment's Puma AE unmanned aircraft system (UAS) (Photo: Business Wire) "Puma has proven itself a valuable tool to military and other government agencies, and with its recent type-certification by the Federal Aviation Administration, will soon help more domestic customers perform important jobs more safely and effectively," said Roy Minson, AeroVironment senior vice president and general manager of the company's Unmanned Aircraft Systems business segment. "Our enhanced Puma delivers more capability to expand its usefulness above and beyond what is expected from a Tier I UAS." Puma AE's enhancements include the following: *Advanced propulsion system and smart battery technology – a more powerful propulsion system with a longer endurance smart battery delivers more than three and one-half hours of flight duration, a 75 percent improvement over the current Puma AE. For added mission flexibility, versatile smart battery optionsare available along with the ability to integrate advanced power sources in the future, such as solar and fuel cells *Auxiliary payload bay – provides the ability to integrate advanced payloads quickly and easily, while preserving Puma's existing color and thermal video camera capability *Precision navigation system with secondary GPS – provides greater positional accuracy and reliability of the system *Added durability –a redesigned fuselage, including reinforced construction, delivers improved aerodynamicproperties and increased durability while maintaining Puma's All Environment capability The enhanced Puma AE will be available the first quarter of 2014. The 13.5-pound Puma AE is fully waterproof, man-portable and can be assembled in minutes, hand-launched, operated and recovered on sea or land by a team of two people. It requires no infrastructure, such as runways, launch pads or recovery devices. In addition, the system is quiet and operates autonomously, providing persistent observation data.

GARRISON KEILLOR | We Are What We Are
By Garrison Keillor
Only one out of five Americans is willing to describe himself or herself as a Republican these days, and frankly I am tempted to become one of them. For the variety, and because they need me and because when I heard former Vice President Cheney talk about the meaning of Republicanism the other day — "We are what we are," he said — I felt drawn to the simplicity and dignity of that. And I have never been a Republican, just as I've never been to South America, and that makes it tempting.
I look at pictures of Machu Picchu and think, "Why don't I get on a plane and go?" And I look at Dick Cheney and think, "This man needs friends." I voted for Obama, and will vote for him again in 2012, Lord willing, but in the meantime, it's a free country.
And it is just a whole lot more satisfying to be part of a militant righteous minority than to be in the anxiety-ridden confused majority — to be a nightrider and ambusher rather than one of the people in the long wagon train — to be free to juke around and say wild stuff and know that it doesn't make a dime's worth of difference.
I went to a party the other day and heard the word "torture" and said that I didn't think we should prosecute the Bush lawyers who wrote those torture memos, and people jumped all over me like I was an escaped Nazi, so as long as I was persona non grata, I said some more stuff — that America would be a better country if we took the vote away from people over 65 because they are selfish and greedy and the future of America is its young. People about dropped their drinks. And then I said that cat ownership is a sign of emotional immaturity and a good predictor of a tendency toward violent crime. I saw lifelong friends turn away in disgust. And you know something? I Don't Care. It felt good.
Liquor wasn't the cause. Crankiness was. And crankiness is the birthright of Republicans.
As Mr. Cheney said, "We are what we are. We're Republicans. We have certain things we believe in. And maintaining our loyalty and commitment to those principles is vital to our success." A good thing to say, and many a president of the Elks, the Odd Fellows, the Moose, the Knights of Pythias, and the Ancient and Mystic Order of Hoot Owls has said something similar: We will not bend our principles so as to please people we didn't like in the first place.
As Proust said in his "Remembrance of Things Past" — or, in French, "A la recherche du temps perdu," his memoir of doing research, or "recherche," as a temp at Purdue and of the mysterious Madeleine, who was one of the things he remembered, but don't let me give away the whole book, you should read it for yourselves — "Nous sommes qui nous sommes": we are what we are, and that is the heart and soul of Republicanism today.
It is like one of those old men's choirs who get together one Friday night a month to sing "On the Road to Mandalay" and "Stout-Hearted Men" and "Finlandia" and "Kathleen Mavourneen" and "The harp that once through Tara's hall / The sound of music shed, / Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls, / As if that soul were fled." Other choirs are ambitious to venture into African idioms and Ojibway chanting and Bulgarian nose flute music, but these old men gather in their old blue blazers and sing "Juanita" and, doggone it, I really, really love "Juanita," and it's about time I admitted this.
The old men's choirs were established by immigrants who had left their homeland, their families, their language, and come to live on a strange flat place called Minnesota, and they felt a great loneliness that could only be assuaged by standing shoulder to shoulder with other baritones and singing "Juanita." We are what we are.
And that's the Republican Party. Once a bulwark of All We Hold Dear, it's now a statistical subgroup. Somewhere in an Elks club or whatever, men gather at a banquet at which the speaker rips into those who would tear down the greatest health-care system in the world and introduce socialism to the land of the free. And then they all sing "This Is My Country" just like in my childhood days. I might go, if I have that night free.

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods, depending on your situation.

This occurs because Word creates an "owner" file when a document is opened. The purpose of the owner file is to let Word manage the locking of the document and to control access to the document.
For example, when a user who has read permissions opens a document, and then a second user who has read/write permissions opens the same document, the document opens as read-only for the second user.

NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb

Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
I strongly dislike the current graphics architecture under Linux that is built entirely around X as the only fully supported Graphics/UI-System.
Normally, graphics stuff - accelerated or not - should be handled on a documented and interfaceable layer below the UI system. The trouble we experience currently around XFree and xorg shows how important it is to have something that just does graphics without dependencies on anything UI specific.
The XFree architecture since 4.0 already has been a step in this direction, now it's time to push this one step further.
I'm thinking of something like the current X-Vesafb-Server, but with full 2D/3D acceleration support.
Well, what should be done is:
1. The kernel developers should specify a complete, stable and fast X-independent kernel mode graphics API and driver interface with full acceleration support
2. The XFree or xorg architects should develop a generic X server that builds on this kernel mode graphics API
3. NVIDIA should release a stable and fast generic driver for the low-level API with no X-specific stuff in it
I'm sure it's possible to get accelerated OpenGL support into this architecture, too, with only very few (if any) performance impact on GLX and 3D-apps running under X.
(The generic API doesn't have to be all "kernel mode" ... That's just how the framebuffer device is implemented at the moment... Concerns could be seperated between kernel and user space as performance and stability considerations dictate).

I am pretty sure that it's not possible to switch the display off permanently although there is an 'auto LCD off' setting that can be set to switch the display off after 15 or 30 seconds.

Settlements between parties with completing claims in the liquidation of MF Global could speed up payment to customers of the collapsed brokerage, with one agreement potentially freeing up as much as $600 million for U.S. customers.
Two separate agreements were announced on Saturday. One is between James Giddens, the bankruptcy trustee overseeing the liquidation of MF Global's main brokerage unit, and Richard Heis, who is overseeing the liquidation of the company's United Kingdom operations. Giddens and Heis agreed to resolve all claims between the two corporate entities.
Giddens also reached an agreement resolving claims between the estate representing creditors of the brokerage unit and the one representing those of parent company MF Global Holdings Ltd.
Giddens said in a prepared statement that the agreements "are in the best interests of former customers and other creditors," and allow trustees to request court approval for additional cash distributions.
The agreement between the brokerage unit trustee and the UK-based unit could result in $500 million to $600 million being returned to the estate for U.S. brokerage customers, the parties said.
Giddens said he has applied with a U.S. bankruptcy court to make additional distributions as a result of the agreement.
Heis said the agreement will "clear important obstacles and allow us to significantly reduce reserves that have blocked us from additional distributions to the former customers and creditors of MF Global UK."

Well for one thing we know this Bruce Wayne is supposed to be in his formative years as Batman. He's already been through a lot. The last movie put him through the ringer with the loss of his childhood best friend/love interest/human anchor. That showed him what his mistakes can cost him. If Bane is indeed the heir/protege of Ra's al Ghul it's very possible that he knows all of this already, been watching from the shadows and is going to use psychological means to "break" Bruce.
That's what I mean, there's nothing left to take away from him, except his secret identity (which would be a pretty neat thing, and somewhat unprecedented, but nothing of which Batman cares about enough for it to hurt him), and Alfred (which would suck, but not be along the lines of the loss of a mate or child, neither of which this Batman has to lose).
I don't see Bruce having his back broken and then "rising" to save Gotham. There's not enough screen time in my opinion to depict that.
I dunno.

From Judy Woods
Several months ago I was with a group of my women friends, when one of them said that she thought the community should just drop the idea of moving the library because 90 percent of the people were against it. I think she was surprised by our responses to her statement. (The majority of us were in favor of the move to Lincoln.)
In the newspaper, about seven to 10 different people have strongly expressed their opposition to the move. Some believe that moving the library would be disrespecting the Gibson family. Some believe that because of new technology, libraries are things of the past and will gradually die out. Some are attached to the building and don't want to change its location. Some think that we should build another addition on the existing library. Some are concerned that taxes will go up.
I have researched their concerns and would like to respond to them.
First concern: The Gibson family gave the library $25,000 in 1931. Twenty years ago, they were contacted when funds for the last addition/renovation were being sought. They stated then that they chose to give to the city of Bartlesville, Okla., as that is where the family resides.
Second concern: It is true that our lives have been changed because of technology. I remember sneaking a flashlight into my bedroom and hiding it and a book under a blanket so that I could read past my bedtime without Mom and Dad telling me to turn out the light and get to sleep. Now I have to chuckle a little bit when my daughter and son-in-law take our twin granddaughters' phones away at 10 p.m. and say, "Go tosleep!"
