Maria Takagi (高樹マリア Takagi Maria?) is a Japanese TV and film actress and a former adult video (AV) star. Early in her career as a model, she also used the names Yukiko Hara and Rika Inoue.
Life and career[edit]
Gravure model[edit]
Maria Takagi was born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan on October 25, 1978. Using the name Yukiko Hara (原由紀子), she released a "gravure" (non-nude) photo album Nishi-Shinjuku Love Story (西新宿恋物語) in June 1998.[2] She made an early movie appearance in the August 1998 mainstream film Yoi Yume Yakei (酔夢夜景?), a love story directed by pink film director Shuji Kataoka.[3] In November 1998, under the name Rika Inoue (いのうえ梨花), she posed for the men's magazine Urecco[4] and as Maria Takagi, issued a photobook of nude pictures titled Blue in December 2000.[5] The next year, Takagi starred in the erotic fantasy Mermaid Girl (マーメイド ~海から来た少女~?) written and directed by Kei Marimura which reached theaters in July 2001.[6] Takagi also had a small part in the Kyoto Broadcasting System TV show HATU Vampire Syndrome (HATU ~ヴァンパイア・シンドローム~?) directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu and broadcast on January 5, 2002.[7] Later in 2002, she had a role in the erotic drama Yūrakuchō yakei (有楽町夜景?) which premiered in Ikebukuro in September 2002.[8]
AV début[edit]
Takagi made her début as an adult video actress with the December 2002 release Super-Star for the Max-A Calen label.[9] At the time of her début, AllAbout columnist Hiroshi Asuka commented on her reputation as an actress and her star quality.[10] Six months later, the same writer described her as one of the top actresses in the adult field.[11] It was announced in October 2003 that Takagi would play the "other woman" of a married man in the Fuji TV drama series Someone is next to you (あなたの隣に誰かいる Anata no tonari ni dare ka iru?) but that she would be continuing in her AV career.[12][13] The Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported in 2003 that she was the highest paid AV actress in Japan.[14]
In late 2003 Takagi was the winner of five awards at the Kuki Inc.-owned XCity's Adult Video Grand Prix Awards. The biggest adult site in Japan at that time, XCity conferred upon Takagi both the Best New Actress and Best Actress awards, and the Best Video Title, Best Conversation, and Prettiest Face awards of 2003.[15] In December 2003, Takagi celebrated her first year anniversary with the Max-A studio with the video Maria Perfect One Year!!. Her last adult video, Fin...Maria Takagi, was released in February 2004 completing the 15 videos that she had originally contracted for with Max-A.[16]
Television and movies[edit]
Takagi's first feature film after her retirement from adult videos was the romantic horror comedy Ghost Shout (ゴーストシャウト Gōsuto shauto?) with Saori Takizawa which was first shown in Tokyo theaters in December 2004.[17][18] The next year, in addition to guest appearances on various TV shows, Takagi appeared in two horror films, the mock documentary Noroi where she played herself and the manga-based Tokyo Zombie directed by Sakichi Sato.
Takagi was a regular on the Tokai TV drama Keiyaku Kekkon (契約結婚?), as the "femme fatale" Keiko Tokumaru, during its July to September 2005 run,[19] and also on the Fuji TV hospital series Ns' Aoi (Ns' あおい?) playing the part of Nurse Nishi Tomoko from January to March 2006.[20] In September 2007, she played Kasumi in the TV Asahi drama Kuroi taiyō '07 Supesharu (黒い太陽 '07 スペシャル?), a TV special movie based on the Kuroi taiyō TV series.[21]
Beginning with the fourth installment in July 2007, Takagi has been cast as hotel employee Kozue Morita on the two-hour TV Asahi mystery movies Onsen maruhi daisakusen! (温泉㊙大作戦?). The series, part of the TV Asahi Saturday Wide Theater (土曜ワイド劇場 Doyō waido gekijō?), aired its 12th episode in January 2013.[22][23] In June 2009, Takagi appeared in Ju-on: Black Ghost (呪怨 黒い少女 Ju-on: Kuroi shōjo?), part of the long running Japanese Ju-on horror film series known in English as The Grudge.[24][25] Takagi had a major role in the 2015 film Shinda Me o Shita Shonen, a youth drama based on the manga of the same name by Tomohiro Koizumi.[26][27]

You don't need a radar speed gun to confirm that many drivers on our highways are exceeding the speed limit. All you have to do is drive at the speed limit on an interstate and watch as vehicles zip past you.
We got a hint of the extent of speeding in 2006 when the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development conducted a spot speed study on various highways in different parts of the state. The study found that 79 percent of vehicles on the interstate highways on which surveys were performed were exceeding speed limits.

Self-Promo Book
Between the Essence and the Creation:
This 39-pg, hand-made, french folded, promotional book is a personal reflection and exploration of the values that I hold most dear in life as a graphic designer. In several of the spreads I use experimental typographic techniques to communicate my message, including: chewing gum and thumbtacks (Expression), a Conan the Barbarian puzzle (Meaning), coffee and sugar (Awareness), and a lip tattoo (Integrity. yes, it's real).
Unfortunately I only made five (which are all gone now). But it did help me get my first job! I'm considering a version two.

hahahahah thats great!!! they feel comfortable in there! yea!!
That's the wonderful thing about home school...kids enjoy it. They are natural learners, and this helps them keep the love of learning!

Metacam help?
Ok so when we took Rosey to the emerg vet on Monday, we got sent home with Metacam.
Rosey weighed in at something like 19.2kg. The vet was saying that she's close enough to 20kg to use that dose, but because she's older, he decided on a lower dose. Essentially, he sent us home with instructions to give her 15 units (I have no idea what these "units" are... I think it's basil ly the dose for a 15kg dog?) once a day for 5 days. He said after that we *could* extend that if needed.
Well, her last dose was Friday. Today, she was obviously sore (though nowhere near what she was) and didn't really want to stand unless necessary, again.
If she's still sore tomorrow, would it be safe to go ahead and just give her another dose? I'd really rather avoid the emerg vet fee again just to know if I can redose her, and also just realized its a holiday on Monday so my normal vet won't be open until Tuesday.
If there's any reason to be super concerned about giving her an extra dose without seeing a vet, she'll likely just take it easy til then... It really doesn't warrant an emergency visit. She's not helping in pain (and she is a drama queen), I just can tell she's a little sore.
She's going in for a follow-up with my vet regardless when I can get her in, anyway. I know it is an NSAID and can have bad effects on her kidneys, but, well, she's nearly 16, and the bad effects are usually over the long-term usage.
Ella: 3 year old female ferret
Nacho: ~8 year old male ferret
Apollo: 5 year old male ferret
Summer: 5 year old female ferret

FILE - This Feb. 26, 2012 file photo shows director Martin Scorsese at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood, Calif. In a statement Friday, March 29, 2013, the Oscar-winning director and Miramax studio said they're developing a TV series based on Scorsese's 2002 film "Gangs of New York." (AP Photo/Evan Agostini, file)
- Filed Under
NEW YORK (AP) - Martin Scorsese is developing a TV series based on his 2002 film "Gangs of New York."
The director is partnering with Miramax, which released the Oscar-nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis. The planned show doesn't yet have a TV network.
The series expands on the brutal, 19th-century New York gang world of the film. Miramax says the series will chronicle the birth of organized crime in not just New York but also in cities such as Chicago and New Orleans.
In a statement Thursday, Scorsese says the era was too rich to fully explore in a two-hour film. He says the series "allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life."

Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a song cycle for voice and piano by Franz Schubert published in 1828. Along with his earlier Die Schöne Müllerin, the two song cycles are the benchmarks for the genre.
In Winterreise, Schubert uses the poems of Wilhelm Müller as text. The series of poems describe a poet as a jilted lover who wanders the winter countryside. The subject is morose and Schubert's music is equally dark. But, the songs have a stunning beauty. The sun does shine at times, but the feeling of sadness is profound.
Canadian Baritone, Gerald Finley is quickly becoming one of the mainstays of the opera and concert stage. I first heard him as Nixon in John Adams' superb opera, Nixon in China. Finley has not only developed into a wonderful singer, he's also a fine actor. Both these qualities add to this magnificent new Winterreise.
His embodiment of Müller's besotted poet is heartbreaking.
Beginning with my favourite song, Gute Nacht (Good Night), Finley paints the words with glorious tone, pathos and subtlety. Much like my favourite performer of Winterreise, the great Hans Hotter (EMI). All 24 songs receive the same treatment. With his song cycles, Schubert raised the importance of accompanist to that of equal soloist. Here, Julius Drake is almost the match of Hotter's partner, Gerald Moore.
Drake matches Finley's emotion exactly, incredibly difficult for a percussive instrument. Whether hunting calls in the distance, imitative passages with vocal lines or beautifully voiced chords emphasizing the text, Drake is superb.
I worked with Drake on a college project many moons ago. He was a wunderkind then (and a real character!). It's wonderful to see his development as a musician and his well deserved musical notoriety.
The recording is audiophile quality. Balance is perfect and the bass on the piano is something to behold. In perfect voice, but so deep. Front and centre is Finley. His CD is a modern benchmark for Winterreise and will sit proudly next to my old Hotter EMI as my Winterreise of choice.

SMU's Neal Burcham wins starting quarterback job
SMU coach June Jones named sophomore Neal Burcham the starting quarterback
during Thursday's Kickoff Luncheon at the Hilton Anatole.
Burcham, who started two games last season in place of injured Garrett Gilbert, entered training camp as No. 1 but faced competition from four players, primarily former Texas A&M backup Matt Davis.
Jones said Burcham's experience with the offense was the deciding factor. In addition to preparing for two games as the starter last year, Burcham went through spring practice as the No.1 quarterback.
"He has been waiting his turn to get in there," Jones said. "I have been impressed watching him the last couple of years. He's prepared himself, he's worked hard. It's just getting familiar with the offense and knowing where to go with the ball quickly and knowing your reads."
The Mustangs, who open against Baylor on Aug. 31 in Waco, also displayed three new uniforms, featuring solid blue, red and white jerseys.

The problem is that many MMOs do not provide that precise formula to hit my graphics sweet spot, or as in the more common scenario, there are parts of certain titles that I would adore if only they hadn't been packaged with the rest of the game. Ryzom, for example, is one of my favorite freemium titles. To this day, it packs more graphical punch and originality than games a quarter of its age.
Now I find myself leaning more toward very basic graphics delivered smartly through my browser. I've even gone through an Anime obsession! Yes, it's been one of those years.
I imagine that even in my perfect vision of a mobile future, some developers will still favor simplistic graphics. After all, stylistic choice is not always the result of technological possibilities and boundaries that need pushing; it's often just a choice that the developer makes based on different influences, budget, or time constraints. Text on the screen will always be able to do its job, and basic images can do even more when combined with descriptive text. I see many browser games staying as graphically simple as they are now and continuing to use icons or slightly animated backgrounds in lieu of three-dimensional graphics while also becoming much smoother experiences that are also possibly integrated into our everyday lives. Our cellphones will act as direct, mobile extensions of our favorite titles. The largest smartphone in the market still generally needs to fit into a pocket, so graphics will again need to work on that size of a screen. Innovation will come in the form of cleverly animated icons and flowing charts of information.
As I write this, I am in the middle of playing a game called Remanum for Rise and Shiny, my column that looks at a different new game each week. So far the gameplay is pretty easy to understand; players spend all of their time trying to out-trade and out-maneuver other players in a world of finance and politics. That means there is no combat whatsoever in the game. I love it. Of course, there is a lot going on behind the scenes of the game. The system is supposedly in a constant state of estimating, recalculating, and adjusting market forces. The developers have quite cleverly used graphics to represent much of the information that is crucial to playing. I can look at the map and tell which areas have the best prices. My warehouse gives me a visual cue when something is wrong. Each production facility of mine simply changes color when there is an issue that needs to be resolved. On top of that, this information is displayed using wonderful, hand-drawn graphics that are unique to the Travian universe of games. Each of the Travian titles is stylized but not silly, and each is also generally functional in any browser and on any system.
I think this desire for convenience and distaste for spending any more cash on PC upgrades has created a love for such simple graphics. If you surround yourself with something, even if that something might not be your favorite thing, eventually you grow to love it or at least appreciate it. I've grown to the point that I can see a game and right away know whether or not I'll enjoy it. I've been wrong a few times, but generally my gut is correct.
I know something dramatic has changed when I see videos of brand-new, "AAA" titles in all of their three-dimensional glory and I no longer get the same thrill I used to. When I see a game like Guild Wars 2, I can think only of the bill from the local Frys and the possibility that all of that money was spent to play a game that is actually nothing unique from last year's batch. At least with a browser-based game, I can skip in and skip out if I need to. All of this has got to influence my tastes in graphics.
So do we form tastes based on the games we surround ourselves with no matter how they look, or do we continually pursue some greater gaming machine to run everything at NASA-worthy levels of sophistication? I think I know my answer.

Small firms fret over higher taxes
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/07/2012 @ 12:27 am In Money | No Comments
(Wall Street Journal) As President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress debate how to address the nation's deficit and avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, some small-business owners are getting a chance to air their complaints.
On Wednesday, 15 business owners made a case against Mr. Obama's proposal to allow tax-cuts to expire for those making upwards of $250,000. The House Committee on Small Business, headed by Rep. Sam Graves (R., Mo.), released summaries of their gripes.
Because many owners of small businesses have business income "pass through" to their personal tax returns, they may appear on paper to be a high-income earner.
But owners often reinvest much of their profit in their businesses, generally either by hiring new employees or buying more equipment and inventory – rather than bolstering their own paychecks.

Protestors celebrate the end of 'don't ask, don't tell' but continue to demand equal rights in 2011. Even in places where gay marriage is legal, same-sex spouses are not recognized by the military.
With the repeal last year of the "don't ask, don't tell" law, many in the military assumed that married gay and lesbian couples had gained not only job security but also equality in allowances, benefits and access to family support programs.
That assumption is wrong.
Since the law took effect 14 months ago, the Department of Defense has kept in place policies that bar spouses of same-gender couples from having military identification cards, shopping on base, living in base housing or participating in certain support programs. ...

Posted by Tom Fornelli
As Colorado continues its search for a new coach, it appears the school is keeping its eyes on the big fish. On Friday the Denver Post reported that Colorado had already talked to former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti about replacing Dan Hawkins.
"We had some initial talks, nothing more than that," Bellotti told the paper. "As this thing goes on, we'll see. That's the only way I can characterize it. I'm interested in getting back in coaching but it would have to be the right situation. I'll have to do some research and get a better feel."
Bellotti, however, is not the only coach that it Colorado would like to talk to. The school was already reportedly interested in trying to pry Les Miles away from LSU, but changed its mind after LSU beat Alabama last week. So now, according to another report in the Denver Post, the Buffaloes have turned their eyes to another coach in the SEC.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt .
According to the report, although Richt is no longer in danger of losing his job, a source said that he is growing weary of the pressure that comes with coaching in the SEC. Ironically enough, the seat Richt sits on was its hottest following a Georgia loss at Colorado earlier this season. Still, there's a problem for Colorado when it comes to hiring Richt or Bellotti.
Athletic director Mike Bohn has said that the school probably won't be able to go over $2 million annually for a new head coach, and Richt already makes more than that, and it's doubtful Bellotti would come back for that amount either. Unless the school wants to invest more money into a new coach -- and according to Gary Barnett, they won't -- the odds of Colorado landing either Bellotti or Richt are pretty slim.
As for another possible candidate, Colorado's chancellor said earlier this week he'd prefer a coach with ties to the Big 12 or Pac 10, which is a description that fits former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. Though according to the same source that told the paper about Richt, that's not going to happen because Leach comes with "too much baggage."

5 Ways To Become The World's Happiest Commuter
Yes, you can actually be good at schlepping to work.
You don't have to be a National Geographic fellow like Dan Buettner to know that one of the things that we Americans hate most on a daily basis is our commutes.
"If you can cut an hourlong commute each way out of your life," he told NPR, "it's the [happiness] equivalent of making an extra $40,000 a year if you're at the $50,000 to $60,000 level. It's an easy way for us to get happier. Move closer to your place of work."
Yet it's not just the length of the commute that makes you enraged—or maybe even happy—but what happens on the way to work as well. While the average commute in the States lasts 25.4 minutes, what happens along those miles may vary. For evidence, take in what a year on the New York subway looks like.
But there are ways to master a commute, beyond making out while straphangers alternately ignore or ogle you.
The four factors of commutely mastery
The Wall Street Journal has tracked down a breadth of contented commuters. Let's distill the fruits of their thought-harvest below.
It's not the length; it's what you do with it: People can be happy with a commute as long as 45 minutes, studies show.
It's reliable: Gigantic fluctuations in traffic—like those that befall drivers around Mexico City and Moscow—can leave people stranded in traffic for hours at any given hour.
You fill it with awesome stuff: Suburb-to-Manhattan commuter Holland Sullivan loads his phone with articles and magazines each evening so he can read while navigating the train-to-subway journey. "Even when I'm standing in the subway jammed shoulder to shoulder, I'm getting something done," he says.
You're getting paid: If you're commuting an hour each way, you gotta make 40% more money than someone who lives near the office to have the same satisfaction with life.
You can shift it: The Wall Street Journal talks to Mike Venerable, a managing director living near Cincinatti, Ohio. Instead of wading into rush-hour traffic, Venerable spends the first few hours of the workday over a frothy drink at Starbucks. Then he heads in.
How do you master your commute? Tell us in the comments.

There is absolutely NO WAY to master my commute here in Detroit! The buses "say" they come every 20-30 mins, however, it's more like once per hour on certain routes, during specific time periods. What I have learned to do is: (1)Leave for work at least 2-hours early, and (2)Submit to bus-tardiness on the ride back home! ...And just now, I thought of (3)Start saving for one of those over-priced apts. not far from work!
I catch up with reading or journal-writing- peacefully. No one disturbs you. Part of the reason why I still do not have a license.
Listening to Pink Floyd and XM Radio.
I have been spending the better part of a decade as a commuter in the Bay Area. I found a way to add awesomeness to my commute time by listening to content I really like, my content! You might want to check these apps:
1. Web2go - you can get any website read out loud to you (Android)
2. StreamShell - reads email, weather, stocks and RSS feeds (Android)
3. erem - reads news and social channels (Android/iPhone)
I've learned that for me an optimum commute consists of bicycle-public transit-bicycle.
I stage everything the night before. I can then get up an in robot mode take a shower, put on my riding clothes, pick up my packed bike bag and snacks, and get on my bike. Now matter how hard it was to get up that morning, by the time I've ridden 1.5 blocks I'm feeling okay.
Riding to public transit gives me more scheduling flexibility. And when I get to the station nearest the office, a short quick ride puts me on site; no time consuming and annoying second (or Heaven forfend, a third) connection.
Going home is the same story. Being able to ride from work to any of three relatively nearby stations gives me scheduling flexibility. And getting home from my destination station is, again, faster than making a secondary transit connection.
Finally, when I get home I can take a shower and tuck into a good dinner. I've book-ended my workday with mood enhancing and stress relieving bike rides and gotten plenty of cardio exercise in without a separate trip to the gym.
Bicycle-transit-bicycle works so well for me that I no longer own a car. And the longer I go without the burdens of automobile ownership and operation, the more I intend to never own another car for as long as I live…
I agree the idea is to cram your commute with awesome stuff! My commute is, but doesn't feel like 1.5h one way. I use that time to catch up on my readings with audiobooks. Books that I would just beat myself up for not getting to. I theme each week or 2 weeks with a certain idea or topic I want to think about. From Disciplined Dreaming to The Superiority of Man, I drown myself in all sorts of thoughts.
I also use this time to stay in touch with family that I normally can not visit. Sometimes I am on a conference call, and most importantly I use this time to breathe, relax, and think. With 3h every workday to just think peacefully. I find myself executing everything in life quite effectively.
I usually ride my bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan. I'm in control in a way that public transportation doesn't allow. Barring some unpredictable holdup, which happen less frequently than they do with trains or cars, my commute takes a consistent amount of time that's comparable to a lucky train ride. Frustrations are more fleeting. Urban biking isn't relaxing or serene, but it's fun.
I'm looking forward to the time when someone installs a few exercise bikes and other gym machines INSIDE the subway car. If even just as an advertisement. When I listen to music on the train during my hour long commute, I always have to stop myself from grooving to the tunes. So I've started downloading podcasts instead.
For over 2 years I spent 2 hours every day commuting, and hating every minute of it. The big problem was texting and driving, out of boredom... Eventually, I decided to build an app and get my content (emails, stocks, news) in a safer way. For Android users for now, it might help you get more out of your commute. Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/...
I ride my bike. It's 40 minutes each way, and I listen to podcasts or audio books while riding. It's calm, it's exercise and it saves hundreds of dollars a month on transit passes and car costs. Exercise triggers endorphins, and I always arrive at the office happy, calm and collected.
When we moved we made it a point to find a home within 5 miles of downtown where our work places are located. My car commute is usually about 15 mins with a but of traffic. Or I can take the bus in less than 30 mins. My husband often rides his bike. We love the flexibility and time saved.
My commute is only about 30 minutes by car, but I keep it interesting by leaving early some days and taking a different route. There are about five ways to my work and they're almost never the same. Some are more scenic, but longer and laid back, and others are shorter but more populated and high energy. Sometimes I have the windows up, listening to music or talk radio. Other times the windows are down, music off, to take in the sounds of "outside."
I love running to and from work. Sure, I look dorky with my running backpack (which is actually awesome!) but I am able to get my miles in and it doesn't even feel like a commute. I'm sort of surprised more people don't run to work, especially given the huge running culture here in DC (and the expensive and completely unreliable Metro system). I am definitely in a better mood when I run in as opposed to the days I have to take the Metro.
When I used to commute (45 min each way), it was podcasts all the way. The key was developing a "curriculum" each week of something I wanted to learn. The biggest challenge was finding podcasts I could complete in 45 min - on longer ones I found it challenging at the end of the day to pick up where I left off - too many changing thoughts during the course of a day.
I often work at home, but sometimes need human contact (weird, right?) When that happens, I pack up my laptop and walk about ten minutes to a cafe in the neighborhood. It's not the closest cafe to my apartment, but I've found it's the one that best stimulates productivity for me. The walk is a great way to clear my head and, at times, have a breakthrough idea. And coffee shops, (as Fast Company noted here: http://www.fastcompany.com/301..., can be excellent places for high-octane creativity.
When I commuted - about 1-1.5 hours - I started to listen to meditation tapes. It was great because it actually increased my focus on driving safely but allowed me to use my time in a way that was constructive and contributed to my quality of life overall. Practicing things like breathing exercises and guided self-exploration (eyes always open, of course!) while driving made it a value-add for my life, because I probably wouldn't have made time to study these practices as much if I hadn't had the driving time already blocked out of my day. Naturally, the deep-relaxation techniques and the like had to wait until I got home :)
Language-learning audio programs are another way to add value to commute time. I have a friend who learned Russian by CD over the course of a year commuting.
My commute is 1 hour and 30 min to my low paid entry level job. 1 bike ride, two trains and two subway rides. And that's if NJ transit doesn't screw up. It costs me almost $400 a month. Podcasts and crosswords are the key.
My commute is a little over two hours each way so in the morning I catch up on News, and sleep while listening to music. On ride home, I read a book, watch a movie, gaze out the window thinking of beaching on a distant beach on a distant planet in a distant galaxy or do some work. What a life.
i bike! enjoyable because it's active
