(BadWolf provides his annual list of personal favorites among not-metal albums released in 2014.)
I've never written so few lists at the end of the year. During my first year at No Clean Singing, I wrote three separate lists. Many writers compose even more, and I have no idea how they do it. However, each year my format has changed as I think of new ways to think about music. As time goes by, I simplify, I erase boundaries.
There's only one meaningful distinction in my list this year: metal vs. not-metal. My metal list is currently up at Invisible Oranges, and it serves as my unified vision of 2014 in heavy metal. However, this is my favorite list—my favorite piece of copy that I write each year. There's something about writing about mainstream music on an underground metal blog that strikes me as fun and transgressive.
More to the point, I always loved reading the opinions of metal heads and musicians about non-metal music. To people outside of the culture extreme music is what sets us apart. Inside the community, however, our tastes in other genres of music can offer interesting window into people's personalities. I also wonder if the commonalities we find outside of the music reveal something about the threads that other artists and metal share. For example, my #1 album is, I know, fairly popular among metal bloggers, but you'll have to wade through my bottom nine to get to it.
(BadWolf has been missing in action for a while, spending much of his blog time helping to run the esteemed Invisible Oranges, but today he re-surfaces with a new post in an NCS series he created to take us off our usual beaten paths,)
I'm pretty certain I am the strongest proponent of California resident Jerimiah Johnson's one-man industrial rock-pop outfit The Ugly Façade that exists. However I'm pretty sure that's more a result of lack of exposure than a mark of quality, because The Ugly Façade is the real deal, as evidenced by Johnson's latest album (more of an EP, really) Many Waters, now available at any price on Bandcamp.
I first became aware of The Ugly Façade in the wake of an article I wrote for Stereogum.com about Trent Reznor, the musician behind Nine Inch Nails. Reznor is one of my favorite songwriters on earth, and while Nine Inch Nails is not precisely metal, or extreme, the band has a large following in the metal subculture, and has had a profound influence on several groups, including The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Faceless, Author & Punisher, and others.
Solar Echoes is the name of a double album by an ambient electronic artist named Nigel Stanford, who is a native New Zealander and now lives in New York. A few days ago he released a video for a single from the album named "Cymatics". "Cymatics" is the name for the science of visualizing audio frequencies. For the video, Stanford and the video's director Shahir Daud created a series of "experiments" designed to show visual representations of the music.
They assembled an assortment of devices that create imagery in response to sound frequencies, including a Chladni Plate, which vibrates in response to sounds played through a speaker, causing grains of sand on the plate to arrange themselves into various patterns and shapes; a Hose Pipe; a Speaker Dish (filled with frozen vodka); Ferro Fluid; a Plasma Ball; a Ruben's Tube; and — for the finale of the video — a Tesla Coil.
Now here's an especially interesting aspect of this project: The video was filmed before the music was composed. In the case of all those science experiments, Stanford, Daud, and their crew found tones that would create the kind of imagery they were looking for, and then Stanford composed music that incorporated those tones — and the music became the single, "Cymatics".
(We are not, I repeat NOT, finished with 2013 LISTMANIA. How could we finish without BadWolf's reprise of this list that he has done in years past?)
They said we were crazy.
They said it couldn't be done.
Well ladies and gentlemen, they were right. We are crazy—but we've done it anyway.
Listmania is even bigger than last year (60+ lists as I write this), and lasting into January. What on earth is wrong with us?
NoCleanSinging will resume its normal functioning soon enough, but first we need to get these fucking lists off our desks.
Long-time readers, you know what that means; my favorite article of the year; my top 10 most metal not-metal albums of the year. I've rustled up an eclectic mix, featuring anarchic emcees, satanic songstresses, and even a few ex-metalheads exercising the weirder bones in their musical bodies.
(We are delighted to present to you this guest post by Alain Mower, which takes us off the rails of our usual course and onto a very different line.)
Have you ever found yourself sitting in your dimly lit, Victorian Dining Room, listening to your Burzum/Sunn O)))/Dark Space 1st pressing vinyl in the background, sipping only the finest of that last cask of '73 lambs blood sitting across from your man/woman/android and thought to yourself, "I wish this could be classier, but I don't want to sacrifice any of my soul-damning resolve to do so." Well you, classy reader, are in luck, for I present to you 'Noirjazz – or Darkjazz for you laymen.
No I'm not talking about Shining (Norway)'s brilliant album from this year, I'm talking about atmospheric, soundscape-driven, foreboding and looming, downtempo (old man's) jazz.
We're actually going to have a "THAT'S METAL!" — BUT IT'S NOT MUSIC" post today, but we're beginning with something on the flip side of that, using a title that I think BadWolf originally coined for something else we posted that doesn't fall within our usual ambit. We don't do this often, because we know people don't usually come here for non-metal music. Also, I almost never listen to anything but metal. But I did yesterday.
One of the blogs I follow is written by fellow Seattle-ite Gemma Alexander. Yesterday she wrote about two live performances she caught on Friday night at Seattle's Decibel Festival, "a world class celebration of underground and experimental electronic music". Her vivid description of what she saw and heard (which I highly recommend) intrigued me so much that I went in search of music by the two performers — Nils Frahm from Germany and Ólafur Arnalds from Iceland.
Later, having spent more than an hour immersed in the music of both, I decided I ought to share what I found, because it's pretty amazing.
Nils Frahm is a Berlin-based contemporary/experimental composer whose principal instrument is the piano — and an assortment of electronic effects that transform the sound. I gather that in his live performances, Frahm improvises and experiments, in essence creating new works using his recorded music as the template. Here's how Gemma described what she witnessed:
(I bet you thought we'd finished our 2012 Listmania series. Think again. BadWolf brings us one more list.)
Three months into 2013, here's another top 10 about 2012. These are my favorite articles to write every year, and also the most difficult. 2012 in particular was a musical gauntlet. The more promos we get here at NCS and at the other sites I write for, the more metal I listen to, the more I need non-metal records to give myself a break. It's an infinite feedback loop.
I thought this would be an easy article. So many of my favorite artists in my favorite genres released albums in 2012 that I anticipated the article would write itself. Needless to say, things did not turn out that way. Old favorites like Marillion and Titus Andronicus released middle-of-the-road records. At the same time, I developed a tremendous appetite for hip-hop. One version of this list was entirely populated by rappers, which would have necessitated another top 10 list.
Also, so many metal labels released more-or-less rock records that I debated including them. In the end I opted not to: you know who Graveyard are, and they don't need me for a cheerleader (seriously, though—listen to Graveyard).
In the end, these ten albums made the cut more-or-less based on play counts alone. They all share certain qualities with my favorite metal albums: intense sound, aggressive or melancholy delivery, vocals. You could call those things the core of my taste. Perhaps they're also at the core of yours.
LIVE REPORT: DEATH GRIPS at THE MAGIC STICK, DETROIT, 11-19-12
(NCS writer BadWolf was in the audience when Death Grips played Detroit last November, and he provides the following report. The very cool photos accompanying this review were taken by BadWolf's partner in crime, Nicholas Vechery.)
This show was a long time coming. I first heard Death Grips almost exactly a year ago to the week as I write this article, and almost instantly the group became something of a personal muse to me—I wasted no time pimping the group here, and later made them the subject of my first article for Stereogum. In 2012 the band released two albums, both excellent, and in between booked-then-cancelled a major summer tour. For better or for worse, 2012 saw MC Ride and drummer Zach Hill ride the popularity wave at its very zenith, leaving many of their loyal fans tumbling in the surf. So when Death Grips booked a second tour, and played Detroit's Magic Stick on November 19, attendance was mandatory.
I attended the show with photographer Nick Vechery, too late to catch any of the tour's opening act, genre-bending MC Mykki Blanco. Although Blanco hails from NYC's now-prominent Brooklyn hip-hop scene, I find his music less appealing than, say, Azalia Banks on her 1991 EP.
Death Grips took the stage just after Vechery and I purchased our beer.
(Please welcome the return of guest writer Old Man Windbreaker, who has decided to take matters into his own hands. One hopes for the return of his sibling in the comments.)
Old Man Windbreaker greets you once again. After repeated bitching about the lack of content related to Faith No More on this site, One has decided to take matters into One's own hands… And write about the albums Mondo Cane and Laborintus II by Mike Patton.
One first listened to this album around the the time of its release, back in 2010, without much knowledge about its background except for the introduction in the Wikipedia article. One didn't pay much attention to the music back then, and forgot about it after the first listen.
Through a fortunate twist of fate, One stumbled upon Mike Patton's voice on television last month while my cousin was watching Crank: High Voltage, and decided to watch the rest of the movie. One found during the credits that Mike Patton had not sung just one song in the film, but composed the whole soundtrack (which is excellent, by the way). One decided to go back home, and listen to more of his solo work and collaborations.
So, one morning, on a bus ride, to a mall where One would eventually do nothing but have a Subway sandwich for lunch, One huddled up in the back seat listening to this album. Listened to the album once; and twice; and thrice… [It was a long bus ride. But nevermind that.]
Especially for an extreme metal site, we've showed a lot of love for Death Grips. Why? Because their music is "metal", even though it's not metal, and also because they don't give a fuck.
How many fucks don't they give? Well, you may recall that Death Grips signed a deal with Epic/Columbia to release two albums this year. The first one was The Money Store (reviewed for us here by groverXIII). The second one was supposed to be released sometime this month. But last night on Twitter the band said, "The label wouldn't confirm a release date for NO LOVE DEEP WEB 'till next year sometime," followed by, "The label will be hearing the album for the first time with you."
And this morning Death Grips just went ahead and put up No Love Deep Web for streaming and free download. Maybe their contract with Epic/Columbia allows them to do this as long as they deliver some other album for label release, but something tells me this wasn't exactly what Epic expected. I thought Epic was an odd choice for this band anyway, and maybe we're starting to see why this wasn't a marriage made in heaven.
Either way, it's cool to get this new album. It's so fresh that I've barely started listening to it. The SoundCloud player for the stream is after the jump, and you can go HERE to download it while you can (click the smaller "Premium Download" link — it's the only one that will start the download of the album). You can also download it off the SoundCloud player, or from the other download links I'm including after the jump.
Also, the album cover is a picture of the album's title written on an erect dick. No fucks given.
Also after the jump, following the erect dick cover art (NSFW): a Phro-tastic write-up I just received from Phro (also NSFW) about this news.

False claim that Muslims objected to St. George's Flag in Britain
by Sheila Musaji
(Photo source Engage UK
The Islamophobes and particularly the EDL have been busy the past week. There was the False claim that a pregnant woman was arrested for carrying a British flag after Muslims complained and there was the False EDL Rumor that Muslims in Oldham had held 'Celebrations' of the Woolwich murder. And now we have this false claim about St. George's Flag about which the EDL protested.
A story was reported by a number of media outlets. The Telegraph reported Council vetoes flag of St George after concerns raised about links to Crusades:
Eleanor Jackson, a university lecturer, said the red and white symbol could cause upset in Radstock, Somerset, because it was used during the Crusades 1,000 years ago.
The Labour councillor voiced her concerns at a meeting called to discuss which flag should be purchased to fly atop the town's repaired civic flagpole. She said: "My big problem is that it is offensive to some Muslims, but even more so that it has been hijacked by the far right. My thoughts are we ought to drop it for 20 years."
Radstock Town Council, which serves a local population of more than 5,600 residents, eventually decided to purchase a Union flag to fly on Armistice Day.
... The objections raised about the flag of St George were branded "oversensitive" by the local Muslim community while the Muslim Council of Britain said England's patron saint should not be associated with "any hatred of Muslims". Spokeswoman Nasima Begum said: "St George needs to take his rightful place as a national symbol of inclusivity rather than a symbol of hatred."
Rizwan Ahmed, spokesman for the Bristol Muslim Cultural Society said: "I think they are going a bit far here. It is political correctness going a bit too far. Use by the far right is one thing, but to say that Muslims are offended I don't think is correct. We understand the flag is part of this country's heritage, and in fact many many Muslims will identify as being British themselves." ...
After this story was reported, Engage UK notes There was an EDL protest in Radstock over St George's flag 'offending Muslims' story:
Despite the leader of the Council scotching the false reports, ITV News notes that protestors 'from as far away as Newcastle' travelled to the town in Somerset to protest the council's 'decision'.
The incident, much like false newspaper reports of town councils 'banning Christmas' for fear of 'offending Muslims', shows the terrible consequences of poor press reporting on popular perceptions of Muslims as well as the the far right's exploitation of manufactured grievances.
Of course, Islamophobic sites like Vlad Tepes, Sheik Yer'Mami, etc. added their own take on the original incorrect story They made statements like: "A more accurate title would have been: 'Council votes to remove actual flag of England because of potential objections by a mere 16 muslim residents of the town", and Sheik Yer'Mami called it "preemptive dhimmitude"
Muslims were not consulted. Muslims did not object. All of this is nonsense. In fact, as the Bristol Post reported
Farooq Siddique, who writes a column for the Bristol Post about life as a Muslim in the city, is like many in the Muslim community, baffled by the decision by Radstock Town Council not to fly the flag of St George in case it offends followers of Islam. Here he gives his personal reaction to the Post:
"So, the flag of St George will not be flying over Radstock after Councillors decided it was "inappropriate"; one of the factors being its historic links with the Crusades primarily against the Muslim world.
"It's another example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Like changing 'Merry Christmas' to 'Season's greetings', or 'Christmas lights' to 'winter lights' or taking the 'pork factor' out of the 'Three little pigs' story, all the 'huffing and puffing' to avoid offending 'other religious communities' – a euphemism now almost exclusively recognised as a reference to 'Muslim' communities.
"I write this wanting to climb Cabot Tower; desperate to shout this from the highest peaks; "Muslims are not offended by the St George's flag! The Three Little Pigs! Or Christmas! Or any other variation thereof!" (OK, I admit; as a slogan, it needs work…)
"Short-sighted good intentions can add fuel to the fire of prejudice.
"Removing the flag of St George from flying over Radstock will be portrayed by the hate-mongers (the very people the councillors intended to quell) as another example of the 'conspiracy by Muslims to 'Islamicise' the world' – even though no Muslims took part in the making of this particular fiasco.
"The right wing will cry foul, and more St Georges flags will fly in support, sadly, of the right-wing.
"Symbols (and their propensity to cause offence) are defined by the context in which they are used. For example: the swastika is offensive as a Nazi symbol, but inherent as a symbol of peace in the Hindu faith.
"Likewise, right-wing groups like the EDL use the Crusader past of the St Georges flag as their symbol during demonstrations against Mosques. But, it is inherently the symbol of the English nation.
"Rather than abandon the St Georges flag to the right-wing extremists and racists, I'd ask the Radstock Councillors to reconsider and fight for it: reclaim it as the symbol for our "green and pleasant land".
"The more people use it as symbol for peace and unity, the less people will tolerate its use as a symbol of hate and persecution.
"Together, we really can vanquish the fire-breathing dragon of prejudice."
Leading Bristol Muslim condemns plans to not fly St George flag in Radstock http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Leading-Bristol-Muslim-condemns-plans-fly-St/story-19005228-detail/story.html
A gift for the EDL http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/468249/20130516/edl-george-flag-patriotism.htm
Stance on St George offends all patriots, especially Muslims
And, This Somerset reported that: "The folly of Radstock Town Council in refusing to fly St George's flag is not in its attention-seeking political correctness but in its offence to Muslims. It is a reversion to the view that people of different religions cannot be patriotic, one from which Catholics suffered for many centuries."
This all reminds me of the Catholic University incident here in the U.S. last year. In that case, a non-Muslim attorney filed a lawsuit saying that Muslim students at the University were offended by crosses and other religious symbols and they should be removed. The whole thing was a product of his own imagination, and not only had not a single Muslim student complained in any way, but they came forward to say they had no problem with these symbols and loved the University.
There was a lovely and "very British" ending to this story. The EDL turned out for a protest in front of the York Mosque but, as The Guardian reports York mosque counters EDL protest with tea, biscuits and football
A York mosque dealt with a potentially volatile situation after reports that it was going to be the focus of a demonstration organised by a far-right street protest movement - by inviting those taking part in the protest in for tea and biscuits.
Around half a dozen people arrived for the protest, promoted online by supporters of the EDL. A St George's flag was nailed to the wooden fence in front of the mosque.
However, after members of the group accepted an invitation into the mosque, tensions were rapidly defused over tea and plates of custard creams, followed by an impromptu game of football.
Leanne Staven, who had come for the protest, said that she had not come to the mosque to cause trouble but because "We need a voice". "I think white British who have any concerns feel we can't speak freely," she said.
"Change has been coming for a long time and in light of what happened to that soldier in Woolwich there have to be restrictions on people learning extremist behaviour and it has to stop."
Mohammed el-Gomati, a lecturer at the University of York, said: "There is the possibility of having dialogue. Even the EDL who were having a shouting match started talking and we found out that we share and are prepared to agree that violent extremism is wrong.
"We have to start there. Who knows, perhaps the EDL will invite us to an event and the Muslim community will be generous in accepting that invitation?"
Ismail Miah, president of York mosque, added: "Under the banner of Islam there are very different politics: democratic politics, the far right, left, central, all over. You can't target a whole community for what one or two people have done.
"What they've done in London is for their own reasons but there's no reasoning behind it from an Islamic point of view."
This is how civilized people function.

Candidase along with ViraStop made my tummy go flat overnight from bloating and gas due to candida issues. I took 3xday in beginning on empty stomach with lots of water. ALL Enzymedica products are excellent. This company knows what they're doing. I've tried MANY enzymes over the years. This one is expensive, but works the best. Don't waste your money on others until you've tried Enzymedica products. Use probiotics while on this and get even faster results for gut issues.
Enzymedica, Cadidase and Enzymedica Viro Stop Work great together.

These two products Enzymedica, Candidase Enzymes and Enzymedica Virostop Enzymes, when trying to get rid of Candida in the Gut and Fungus in the sinus at the same time. There seems to be a connection between these two condition and I have been using both Enzymedica, Cadidase and Enzymedica Viro Stop to kill both. It's really helped to slow down the fungus in the sinus and Candida with the right diet works to kill the candida's. I imagine the die-off would be a lot worse, if I wasn't. But I believe these are both good products used harmoniously and together I give them a 5 Star. Although, I have used Enzymedica Viro Stop before by itself for my sinuses and it did an ok job at least 4 star by itself. I thought it worked better, when Enzymedica Viro Stop use to use SeaProse S. Anyway, these two products are also safe for those on the SCD Diet (Special Carbohydrate Diet). There are no hidden inulin or maltodextrin are any other ingredients that would be bad for someone on the SCD Diet. It is always good to call the company to make sure no ingredients of changed before using, but at the time of my use its was safe. Enzymedica is usually a very trusted and reliable company and yes I will be buying from them again these products, when needed in the future.

This product has proven to make miracles happen in the body, by deactivating and killing off overgrowth of Candida and sweeping out protein wastes in the blood. I wake up in the middle of the night just to take another dose on an empty stomach. Thank you Enzymedica for making another amazing product, and thank you for donating generously to charity

I'm using this product for my DS who tolerates very few supplements. This one never produced any problem and works very well to kill yeast (works best in combination with Pau D'arco and/or Grapefruit Seed Extract.) Other enzmes like Candex and others caused aggressive conduct or other problems. On the other hand, I know some kids can't tolerate this product. As with everything, it is a trial and error game.

A fire that destroyed a home Thursday is not considered suspicious.
Investigators said the fire started in the kitchen of the lakeside home. The flames quickly spread to the second floor.
Crews said the fire was hard to put out because of the cold weather.
"We rotate the crews out as frequently as we can so hypothermia and things like that don't become an issue," said Chief Roman Wdowiak of the Brandon Fire Dept.
The owners of the house were not home.

Panasonic built the CQ-VD7001U DVD player to be an ideal centerpiece for a mobile video system. This all-in-one solution delivers top-notch video playback, extensive surround-sound processing, and lots of options for system expansion. Plus, it installs like a standard in-dash radio, and, unlike most DVD players with monitors, there's no hideaway box to install all wiring connections are made right at the back of the chassis.
The motorized, retractable 7" monitor offers touchscreen control over the entire system. An easy-to-use menu guides you through system adjustments and operation. And when you're playing a DVD, you can even select DVD menu items directly with the touch screen, rather than having to toggle a cursor up and down.
But it's in the sound department where this DVD player really shines. It'll decode and play the 5.1 Dolby Digital® and DTS® soundtracks on your DVDs hook up front, rear, center speakers, connect an amplified subwoofer, and you'll have everything you need for home-theater sound in your car.
If you don't want to install extra components (such as a center speaker), that's okay. You can still enjoy your DVDs with the built-in SRS® Circle Surround system, which simulates surround effects. Circle Surround creates a "phantom" center channel, convincing your ear that the sound is coming from right in front of you. SRS can also strengthen the bass output of your speakers, and "raise" the soundstage, so that it sounds like everything's playing at ear level especially useful if you have a vehicle with low-mounted front speakers.
When you're listening to the radio, you'll be happy Panasonic included Radio DSP. It digitally cleans up the incoming signal from your antenna, minimizing interference and noise. All you're left with is clear radio reception.
Connect a rear-seat monitor and a set of wireless headphones to the audio/video output, and the folks in back can keep on watching while the vehicle's in motion (it's illegal to watch DVDs on the in-dash monitor while you're driving). Meanwhile, you can engage Private Mode and listen to another source, such as the radio, at the same time.
In addition to DVDs, the CQ-VD7001U will play all your CDs (standard or home burned), plus the MP3 and WMA files you've burned onto disc. An audio/video input lets you connect another entertainment source, such as a videocassette player or your favorite video game console. Add an XM tuner and subscription, and you can enjoy all the satellite radio programming XM has to offer.
You'll appreciate the level of control that Panasonic's SQ7 tone-shaping system gives you over the sound you're sure to find the right settings to make the music sound best in your vehicle. Use the high-pass and low-pass filters to send specific frequencies to your front and rear speakers they'll play more efficiently and sound better when they handle only the frequencies they were designed to reproduce.
If you're looking to design a terrific mobile video system, the CQ-VD7001U is a great place to start.

Washington, July 31, 1962.
DEAR MAX: You may have missed this Airgram from Hong Kong1Airgram A-60 from Hong Kong, July 18, entitled "Implications for U.S. Policy of Latest Developments in Communist China," summarized reports of a deteriorating situation on the China mainland and estimated that although there seemed to be no imminent threat to the Communist Party's retention of power, the weakened economy would "deter Peiping from large-scale overt military adventures" but not from less ambitious efforts. It concluded that the United States should continue to restrain the GRC from attacking the mainland while continuing its general posture of containing Chinese Communist expansionism. (Department of State, Central Files, 793.00/7-1862) See the Supplement. which represents, I think, a line of thought many of us share.
One implication of the situation in China which, I believe, should be brought home to the President is this: whether Chinese development has been retarded for "tens of years" (page 3), it is pretty clear that for the 1960's Communist China is not going to be a major industrial and military power. Over the foreseeable future, we do not, therefore, face in Southeast Asia historical pressure which should lead us to any fatalism about losing that region. The Chinese situation should strengthen our will to pursue a policy which would deny South Viet Nam, Thailand—and Laos, too—to the Communists over the indefinite future; and we should pursue this policy with inner confidence.
Sincerely yours,

MP Caroline Dinenage
/ News
A HAMPSHIRE MP is welcoming a fall in unemployment in her constituency.
Caroline Dinenage, MP for Gosport, said Office for National Statistic figures which reveal a drop in unemployment from 2.4 per cent to 2.3 per cent between November and December last year, were "very good news", but said there was more to be done.
The number of people in employment in Gosport has increased by 489 since December 2012. The youth unemployment rate also dropped last month and currently stands at 4.4 per cent, down 2.7 per cent from December 2012.
The national unemployment rate is 7.1 per cent.

Ebert Fellows Sophia Nguyen, Sara Alexandra Pelaez and Hunter Harris reflect upon their Sundance 2016 experience.
"Maborosi" is a Japanese film of astonishing beauty and sadness, the story of a woman whose happiness is destroyed in an instant by an event that seems to have no reason. Time passes, she picks up some of the pieces, and she is even distracted sometimes by happiness. But at her center is a void, a great unanswered question.
The woman, named Yumiko, is played by the fashion model Makiko Esumi. Models are not always good actresses, but Esumi is the right choice for this role. Tall, slender and grave, she brings a great stillness to the screen. Her character speaks little; many shots show her seated in thought, absorbed in herself. She is dressed always in long, dark dresses - no pants or jeans - and she becomes, after a while, like a figure in an opera that has no song.
She is 20 when we meet her. She is happily, playfully married to Ikuo (Tadanobu Asano). They have a little boy, and there is a sunny scene in which she bathes him. Then an inexplicable event takes place, and she is widowed.
Five years pass, and then a match-maker finds a husband for her: Tamio (Takashi Naito), who lives with his young daughter in an isolated fishing village. At 25, she starts her life again.
This is the first film by Hirokazu Koreeda, a young Japanese director whose love for the work of the great Yasujiro Ozu (1903-63) is evident. Ozu is one of the four or five greatest directors of all time, and some of his visual touches are visible here. The camera, for example, is often placed at the eye level of someone kneeling on a tatami mat. Shots begin or end on empty rooms. Characters speak while seated side by side, not looking at one another. There are many long shots and few closeups; the camera does not move, but regards.
In more obvious homage, Koreeda uses a technique that Ozu himself borrowed from Japanese poetry: the "pillow shot," inspired by "pillow words," which are words that do not lead out of or into the rest of the poem but provide a resting place -- a pause or punctuation. Koreeda frequently cuts away from the action to simply look for a moment at something: a street, a doorway, a shop front, a view. And there are two small touches in which the young director subtly acknowledges the master: a characteristic teakettle in the foreground of a shot, and a scene in which the engine of a canal boat makes a sound so uncannily similar to the boat at the beginning of Ozu's "Floating Weeds" (1959) that it might have been lifted from the soundtrack.
But what, you are asking, do these details have to do with the movie at hand? I mention them because they indicate the care with which this beautiful film has been made, and they suggest its tradition. "Maborosi" is not going to insult us with a simple-minded plot. It is not a soap opera. Sometimes life presents us with large, painful, unanswerable questions, and we cannot simply "get over them." There isn't a shot in the movie that's not graceful and pleasing. We get an almost physical sensation for the streets and rooms. Here are shots to look for: The first husband walking off cheerfully down the street, swinging an umbrella. Her joy in bathing the baby. A child playing with a ball on a sloping concrete courtyard. Yumiko and her second husband sitting in front of an electric fan in the hot summertime, too exhausted to make love any longer. Yumiko, wearing a deep blue dress, almost lost in shadow at a bus stop. A funeral procession, framed in a long shot between the earth, the sea and the sky. And a reconciliation seen at a great distance.
"Maborosi" is one of those valuable films where you have to actively place yourself in the character's mind. There are times when we do not know what she is thinking, but we are inspired with an active sympathy. We want to understand. Well, so does she.
There's real dramatic suspense in the first scenes after she arrives at the little village. Will she like her new husband? Will their children get along? Can she live in such a backwater? It's lovely how the film reveals the answers to these questions in such small details as a shot where she walks out her back door into the sunshine.
Underneath these immediate questions, of course, lurk the bigger ones. "I just don't understand!" she says. "It just goes around and around in my head!" Her second husband offers an answer of sorts to her question. It is based on an experience fisherman sometimes have at sea, when they see a light or mirage that tempts them farther from shore. But what is the reason for the light?
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

This is one of the oldest military jet designs still in use today. Not for much longer though.
Is a fantasticship! I always found quite curious the shape of the air intakes, though... but I loved it!
A real classic. It has been one of my favorites ever since I was a little kid. I like the head-on perspective.
The US takes lots of great planes out of service every year...mostly to create a need for state-of-the-art replacements to keep the defense contractors happy. The F-8 Crusader, F-4 Phantom, and others were still perfectly good planes when they had their retirement parties. I'm glad there are some countries that use their defense equipment for the maximum allowable service life instead of bowing to political pressures from the likes of Boeing, Lockheed, etc...
oldie but a goodie! i think Austria still has some on active service! those who did buy these birds certainly got their money,s worth and more. perhaps SAAB might consider cutting some metal and building some new ones......! a fanjet powered Draken could still be a viable machine for a long time to come!
That's an interesting shot of a Swedish Draken. It's first flight was in 1955.
Very good shot, really!

Buy the de-icing washer fluid instead of the traditional blue type. It works.

there are a few ways to get ice off or even not have any ice at all on your car windows.

1. use cold water on your windshield while the defroster is on

2. use cardboard to cover your windshield during the winter. it will help keep ice from forming on the glass.

3. park inside a garage

Seems ineffective at a moderate dosage. Price a little high. A liquid extract, drops or capsules, might be a better offer.

There have been an awful lot of questions around the January Action Pack recently and it continues to be one of the most popular pages on my blog. To recap, the January Action Pack contains the following:
There have been lots of questions around the Vista version and the upgrade process. We have a few tiny issues there (I like to call them issuetes they were so small) but I'm pleased to say you can now upgrade from Vista Business to Ultimate if you wish using this link - https://emea.windowsanytimeupgradestore.com/WAU_DIRECT/Home.aspx - even better is that your license persists even if you leave MAPS...which is highly unlikely of course ;)
There are numerous other questions such as continuing to use XP and Office 2003 CD's and I'm pleased to say you can. The ever resourceful Mr Overton has a full FAQ on his blog that I'd strongly encourage you to read.
8.1 is now ready for download. New looks for emoticons, contacts, and display photos - my favourite feature being that my WeeMee now roams with me. I know....sounds rude but isn't.
Link to Windows Live Messenger for Vista available | InfoWorld | News | 2007-01-31 | By Elizabeth Montalbano, IDG News Service
I knew Long would be on to these straight away - good man!
Hamad who was commissioned to shoot some Windows Vista wallpapers by Microsoft has now released the entire set of photos taken for this project. All in high-resolution of 1920×1200 pixel level. Sweet!
I've had a few people ask about this recently and seen a fair bit of traffic to my blog posting on gadgets vs. widgets so thought people may appreciate this great post from Richard at Conchango who has a great laundry list of resources to help you go build them.
Onward friends...let the gadgets rain down!

Apricot Peach Cobbler Recipe
4.5 2
Whenever I'm baking with apricots, I recall picking them fresh from my aunt's tree more than 25 years ago. They were so juicy and sweet! This comforting cobbler has a crumb topping that is super.
- 1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches
- 1 can (15 ounces) apricot halves
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Drain peaches, reserving 1/2 cup syrup. Drain apricots, reserving 1/2 cup syrup. Cut apricots in half; set fruit aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and reserved syrups until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted. Stir in peaches and apricots. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish.
- For topping, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg and butter; mix well. Spoon over fruit. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream, honey and cinnamon until stiff peaks form. Serve with warm cobbler. Yield: 6-8 servings.

A recent report reveals certain plot details of Terminator 5: Genisys and hints at the movie focussing on Sarah Connor's origins.
Sarah is being played by Emilia Clarke in the fifth instalment of the sci-fi franchise. Movie Pilot stressed on the fact that the movie will capture the genesis of Sarah and her change from being a regular girl into a woman on a war path. This woud mean Genisys will take from the original film in 1984.
The new film is being directed by Alan Taylor and Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to reprise his role as the iconic mean machine. Jai Courtney will be playing Kyle Reese, Jason Clarke will be portraying the part of John Connor. Sandrine Holt (House of Cards) will be playing Detective Cheung, who will "arrest Kyle and Sarah when they arrive in 2017."
While it had been suggested that the film will be a reboot, that is not exactly true. It has been reported that Terminator: Genesis will rewind to the first two films in the series and will move back and forth in the plot with the help of time travel scenes.
Another very interesting aspect of this film is the fact that the cyborg will age. Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that the Terminator won't defy mortality for the very first time.
"The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath," he said. "It's this metal skeleton. But above that is human flesh. And the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh. Maybe not as fast. But it definitely ages."
The actor also suggested that there would be multiple cyborgs in the film.
A first look photo from the set featured Schwarzenegger, Emilia, Jai Courtney and Jason Clarke. In the image Emilia, who plays Sarah Connor, and Courtney, who plays Kyle Reese, are dressed in blue scrubs and are holding onto hand guns. Schwarzenegger stands behind them, suspiciously looking on, while Jason, who plays John Connor, seems to be explaining something to them.
Terminator 5 is scheduled to release in July 2015. (source)

Everyday Minerals Snooze Bar blush
32 reviews
90% would repurchase
Package Quality: 3.6
Price: $$
Package Quality: 3.6
Price: $$
Not tested on animals
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
actually i thought this blush would be more bronzer than blush but you can see a little little bit red.
snooze bar has a subtle gold shimmer.
very very good for nude make up.
but for a perfect bronzer i think i have to buy Agnes B. - bronzer in medium again.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is a pretty blush. It is almost a nude on me, unless I put it heavier then it has caramel, peach and a hint of pink. It suits the warm tone I have to my skin, without looking too orange-y.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Fair, Warm
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
A blush color that i would describe as light brown with a shimmery finish which look absolutely gorgeous on light olive skin tone. Great for all-over and a blush of course and is my favorite EM blush!!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Another winner from EM. Love this blush. I've tried 5-6 of their blushes now, thanks to their generous sample kits. Snooze Bar is a combination of pinky/peachy/bronze. Really perks up my complexion and gives a healthy glow. If you haven't tried EM yet, their blushes are fantastic. Love them!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This color just didn't go well with my lighter skin tone. It looked really orange on me, maybe I used too much. Definitely my least favorite so far!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love this on me. I use Light Neutral in Intensive formula by the way. It is very natural looking, not too bronzy at all. Peach/Pink/Brown. Took one lippie off because I applied it at 6 ish and I don't think it stayed on all night (about 11oclock).
EDIT: Applied it with a more heavy hand and it looked like I had a beautiful tan! Lasted all day too. I also forgot to mention it looked sparkly in the jar but isn't that sparkly on.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
I want to first say that this didn't show up on my skin, and while I tried to use it as a highlighter, it just didn't work. I am medium tan and overestimated how dark this would be. The only thing that shows up is the sparkle, and pink tones in the blush come up as ash on my skin - weird, I know!
Aside from color issues, the blush is great. It's a huge amount of blush for a very affordable price, the packaging is OK, but I wish the area with the sifter would be deeper - it's so awkward to have it so shallow. I can't speak about the color payoff because it never showed up on me. The shimmer isn't obnoxious or vulgar, but definitely there.
The color itself is a very pinky peach with brownish undertones.
Overall, I think this would be GORGEOUS on fair skintones!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
i love this color. it gives my face a subtle color, making my mineral makeup look even MORE natural. it's great for everyday/casual wear. i definitely will repurchase once i run out.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This colour gives my medium olive skin an etheral glow with just the right amount if colour. Its an extremely flattering finish and shade
(not too orange / not too pink). This blush is definitely a stapple.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I *love* this blush. It's perfect for an every day, basic makeup look. On me, it's a neutral peachy/pink/brown shade with slight shimmer. Goes with so much. This has become a staple for me! For reference, I wear EM foundation in Golden Fair.

This Wine Is Rated:
The story behind the label...This wine was introduced as a one-time bottling in 2002 after a wild fire struck the vineyard's surrounding hillsides. The residual ash and smoke resonated in the Syrah grapes, creating a very memorable wine. Year after year, we are asked to develop a Syrah to keep the story of this wine alive! Now, 10 vintages later, we hope you will enjoy this bold Syrah comprised from several exceptional vineyards in the Columbia and Yakima Valleys.Tasting Notes:The 2012 Ex Umbris is a great expression of the bold fruit flavors from that year. Bursting with aromas of red plum, blueberry and pink peppercorn. The palate is filled with refreshing flavors of fresh summer blackberries, currant, and dark chocolate with noticiblystructured acidity and silky tannins.Vineyard Sources:Destiny Ridge, Outlook, Six Prong, Red WillowThe 2012 Ex Umbris Syrah spent 16 months in barrel. 3% new French oak barrels used14.1% Alcohol

Guiseley School pupils get Fairtrade support
/ News
A Fairtrade farmer from the Middle East visited Guiseley School to talk to students about the ethical campaign.
Tazier Aribisi gave an assembly to Year nine students and spoke to a Year 12 geography class about his own experiences as a farmer who benefits from the scheme.
Guiseley School, now in its fourth year as a Fairtrade school, thanked Tazier for visiting and sharing his views.
Sixth former Jenny Britton said: "During Fairtrade Fortnight, Year seven students learnt about the importance of buying Fairtrade bananas and supporting farmers who produce them.
"Supermarkets have driven the price of bananas to lower than they were ten years ago, which is keeping banana farmers in a never ending downward cycle of poverty.
"Switching to Fairtrade bananas means that farmers are given a fair price for their produce and can support their families and have a better life all round."

I thought this recipe came out exceptionally well, and that doesn't take into account that it should do even better with a day's marriage under its lid. I didn't mess with the basic recipe too much, but as there are only two of us in the house these days, I lessened the beans by one can. For topping I used some sliced black (but not the bland tinned variety) olives, and some horseradish cheddar, which I accidentally found in the cheese section and who's name suggested itself to me as a great candidate for eating with a chicken chile. Both additions worked out quite well, but I think this recipe lends itself to any adjustment you might personally prefer. I'll make it again, and invite you over.
The overall flavour is excellent and it's very easy to make. Will definitely make it again.

More than tourist dollars:
Sitting over coffee last Friday afternoon at Burnet Avenue's Sparky Town, Mary Stanley said she's going to next Thursday's public art workshop at Gifford Zoo because she wants to know what other people think "public art" is. Stanley, who lives part of the year in Parati, Brazil, a small coastal city that hosts a hugely successful annual international literary festival, is a founder of Art Across Borders, a project that addresses how the arts sustain communities.
"Public art goes to the core of who we think we are," she said. "There's such a long tradition of public art based on history-making events, really on conquest and imperialism, men on horseback. There was a clear break after 9/11. They're still fighting about what should be built at Ground Zero -- really, what public space is for. I remember the 'New York Times' ran a huge piece on European cities designed with those broad boulevards converging on -- well, literally the monumental. But I think it started breaking down earlier, with the Vietnam memorial in DC -- that low black wall, public art that acknowledged the cost of war.
