Meanwhile, in Japan
The Liberal Democrat Party* won big in the July elections in Japan, giving the coalition of parties led by the LDP a two-thirds majority in both the Upper and Lower Houses of the Japanese government, which could allow the party to ram through amendments to the constitution. While Article 9, the antiwar amendment, has long been targeted, it's starting to look much, much worse. [more inside]
Uncovering Forgotten Stories of Hiroshima
Keiko Horikawa is a Japanese freelance journalist whose work, unknown in English translation until now, deals with the value of life and the weight of death. Her two subjects are the death penalty and the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, which has gained new urgency as bomb survivors, the hibakusha, die out after 70 years. Here is a translation of an event promoting her book about the Genbaku Kuyoto, the mound containing the unclaimed remains of approximately 70,000 bomb victims, and her effort to reunite the 815 identified remains with their families.
It's a beautiful day for a horror movie... Let's play two!
Back in 2013, we saw Sadako from The Ring throw out the first pitch at a baseball game in Japan. Then earlier this year, we saw the trailer for the upcoming The Ring/The Grudge crossover movie, Sadako vs. Kayako. You can see where this is going: Sadako throws out first pitch against Kayako at Japanese baseball game. (Via.)

Hiroshima: The New Yorker, 1946
A year after the bomb was dropped, Miss Sasaki was a crippIe; Mrs. Nakamura was destitute; Father Kleinsorge was back in the hospital; Dr. Sasaki was not capable of the work he once could do; Dr. Fujii had lost the thirty-room hospital it took him many years to acquire, and had no prospects of rebuilding it; Mr. Tanimoto's church had been ruined and he no longer had his exceptional vitality. The lives of these six people, who were among the luckiest in Hiroshima, would never be the same.--originally published in The New Yorker, August 31, 1946.

Oyasumi nasai (sleep well!, おやすみなさい!, お休みなさい!)
The history of the wafuton goes back to ancient times more than three centuries before the Common Era. Considered to be good for the health, yet convenient to roll, store, and air, the Japanese futon is rather a different beast from that more familiar convertible futon common in the West. William Brouwer is credited with the original concept and industrial design of the wooden structure, while in Japan, it is master craftsmen like Hisayoshi Nohara, Grand Champion of Futon Making, who are revered for their work. You can try one out in a ryokan.
The 0-113 Racehorse Who Charmed a Country
In 2003, the small Kochi Racetrack in southern Japan was in trouble. The Lost Decade hit the provincial raceway hard, and the staff was scrambling to find some way to stave off bankruptcy. One day, they found an unlikely savior. This is the story of Haru Urara, the losingest racehorse in Japan, and how she gave hope to millions.

Check in with the velociraptor at the world's first robot hotel
Japan has a national gift for holding in balance the stateliness of tradition and the marvel of novelty. So it ought to come as no surprise that on the western margin of the archipelago, on a serene bay in a remote area of the Nagasaki Prefecture, there is an enormous theme park dedicated to the splendors of imperial Holland. It follows with perfect logic that the historical theme park's newest lodging place is the world's first hotel staffed by robots.
Yamanote Eki-Melo
The Yamanote Line is the most famous and well-travelled train line in Tokyo.

Click any post to listen to that station's eki-melo!

"Watching them feels wicked meditative."
Brian Feldman, Hopes&Fears: Why are people obsessed with Japanese miniature cooking videos?
There is an irreconcilable conflict at the heart of working with miniatures: "It's about as far removed as you can get from the chaos of real life, but at the same time it requires you to be a very attentive observer of real life if you hope to capture that in your miniature art. It's a cool paradox and one that's really fun to play with as an artist."[more inside]

Dave Spector, Gaijin Tarento: Big in Japan, unknown in the US
Tarento, a Japanese rendering (gairaigo) of the English word "talent," or actors, though often is used to refer to actors who take part in more comedic panel shows. Gaijin tarento are "foreign talent," non-Japanese actors who speak Japanese and often represent a stereotyped view of their given nationalities.

The language of flowers, spoken in forms around the world
In the Victorian Era, "the language of flowers" (floriography) was all the rage. According to The Smithsonian Gardens History in Bloom summary (and activities sheets) for The Language of Flowers (PDF), "Nearly all Victorian homes would own at least one of the guide books dedicated to the 'language of flowers.' The authors of these guidebooks used visual and verbal analogies, religious and literary sources, folkloric connections, and botanical attributes to derive the various associations for the flowers." But where did it come from? (Google books preview) Istanbul in the Tulip Age (PDF, first chapter of Crime and Punishment in Istanbul: 1700-1800), and Turkish love-letters and harems ... somewhat.

The Only Thing I Envy Men is an essay about women writers by Rivka Galchen, taken from her book Little Labors. The book focuses partly on writing by Japanese women, especially the 11th Century writers Sei Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu, authors of The Pillow Book and Tale of Genji respectively. The latter has recently been retranslated, and was the subject of a lengthy article in the New Yorker by Ian Buruma.

The Woman Who Makes Prosthetic Pinkies for Ex-Yakuza Members
When "Mike" spotted a newspaper advert for a clinic making prosthetic fingers in the 90s, he thought it was a scam. But the ex-yakuza member had booked himself a consultation within the hour. For almost a decade, a stumpy pinkie on his left hand had marked out his previous allegiance to the criminal world, preventing him from leading a normal life. A fake little finger, he thought, sounded outlandish, but it was worth a shot. It might allow him to disguise his past—and help shield against Japanese society's prejudiced view of ex-yakuza members in search of redemption. [more inside]

A Moss Girl's Guide to Japanese Moss Viewing
Since I first discovered moss ten years ago, the joys of examining moss in its natural habitat and marveling at the sporey, crazy geometries on the other end of my magnifying glass has become one of my greatest pleasures in my life. And I'm not alone: a growing number of young Japanese women have taken up moss-viewing, calling themselves "moss girls" and holding moss viewing parties all over Japan. More recently, the trend has spread to people of all ages and sexes, who are discovering new venues all over the country where moss enthusiasts can gather to share their passion. [more inside]

even though they haven't played at all recently, together....
just a thought- don't take my head off!
I'd even play....
just a thought
Please arsene stop playing hoyte and djourou- johan has been tolerable but, please- enough is enough..
let adebayor play for rvp as well- vs reading, please!!!!This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
eboue hoyte then lauren are arsenal rt backs
gallas is a center half and will play in that position with toure
if either of these are injured then djourou will come in then senderos who is slow both physically and mentaly in comparison to any of the other 3
clichy will be left back and we may buy another left back but i doubt it will be abidal.
BTW young hoyte has had a couple of really good games in his correct position as he is not really a left back, but even so i thought he had equiped himself quite well at left back.
I really do not understand why you go on about the same thing all the time it is very very boring

Gallas CAN play right back. Ive seen him play there at chelski many times. Some of you armchairs really dont know anything!
How good to see Clubgit finally recognising that Hoyte is a contender for this spot. He gives us the pace to work up that side fantastically. And his heart definately belongs to the team - he didn't stop the whole 90 minutes yesterday.

Well at least you can now appreciate that Hoyte can play well and its in writing.
Clubgit your such a dickhead
A Yahoo! User Oct 22, 2006 18:19 Flag
Personally I really don't see what you have agianst Hoyte, he's a good young prospect, is improving and needs more chances to get better. I don't deny Gallas is a good player but very much fill in only at Right back. If we can field a not entirely A-class team at Reading and not look forward to a win then theres little chance of us winning the prem.
My own view would be he won't play senderos, instead he'll go for Hoyte toure gallas clichy. We'll see whose right, or wrong in the oprediction stakes.
Are you crazy?
Gallas is not a right back.
Flamini is not a left back.

Why are you so abusive to someone just for making a football post damian?
You are one sad individual.
And FYI Gallas has actually played in every position across the back four for chelski. Flamini has played at left back for you too. What's wrong with this guy stating his opinion?
Take a look at yourself before you start calling people crazy. Asshole.

Whether your idea of paradise is golfing, shopping, enjoying the beach or simply relaxing with a glass of wine at a fabulous restaurant, Kiawah Island is a great getaway destination.
Things to see and do
Kiawah Island's 10-mile coastline runs from east to west, making any beach on the way worth a stop for picturesque sunrises and romantic sunsets. Since Kiawah Island is a master-planned community, the entire waterfront here is pristine and beautifully maintained. Try visiting different beaches to discover your favorite, and if you're traveling with young kids, be sure to check out The Sandcastle, a family-oriented community center that features swimming pools, a private beach, a playground for children and delicious poolside dining.
Home to nine world-class courses designed by a renowned team of experts, Kiawah Island is a premier global destination for golfers. Seven of the island's best courses are part of the prestigious Kiawah Island Golf Resort, a luxurious retreat rated as the top resort in the U.S. by Travel ⁺ Leisure Golf magazine. While golfers of all skill levels are welcome here, beginners can sharpen their skills at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Golf Academy—a state-of-the-art program led by an accomplished golf instructor.
Special events
Community events
Kiawah Island's friendly and active community is one of its biggest draws. From tours and surfing lessons at the island's posh resorts, to promotional events and seasonal food stalls at Freshfields Village, local calendars here are packed with activities all year long.
Farmer's market
In the summer, head to Freshfields Village for the annual farmer's market for some of the best organic produce in the area—scheduling typically runs from June to August. Whether you love fresh seafood or vegetarian fare, this local favorite carries all the ingredients needed to make a tasty meal.
Live music
If you love live music, don't miss Music on the Green, a weekly concert series that takes place outdoors. All you need for a lively night of entertainment is something to sit on; most guests bring chairs and blankets. While the concerts are free for everyone, bring your wallet if you want a bite to eat while you listen.

Activities and events
If shopping or listening to live music isn't your style, you'll find plenty of other events to fill up your itinerary. Movies, trunk shows, island hunts and family crafts are just a few highlights from this year's event lineup. Special events do pick up in the summer, but chances are that you'll find the slower winter pace here just as inviting.

2016 Letter from the Chair
I am honored to serve as PRSA College of Fellows Chair for 2016. I look forward to collaborating with our outstanding Executive Committee, our members, and the PRSA Board and professional staff to advance the College's work.
The College of Fellows recognizes and honors outstanding members of the Society with 20 years or more in the profession who have significantly advanced the public relations field. We provide leadership and support for PRSA through continued service to the Society in many ways.
If you know of a colleague who should consider applying to the College of Fellows, or if you are yourself interested, please feel free to contact me or any Fellow. The Fellows site on prsa.org contains a number of tools to help you get started, and we have a committed group we call the GoodFellows that volunteers to provide individual counsel to all applicants as they work through the application process.
The College of Fellows is in the midst of our three-year strategic plan in concert with PRSA's strategic plan. Mentoring is the "calling card" of the College and Fellows provide it to active and aspiring professionals at all career stages. We will continue our partnership with the educators' community to conduct additional Learning to Teach sessions to prepare members considering transition to a teaching career. As in years past, Fellows will also create and sponsor a Master Class during the 2016 International Conference Oct. 23-25 in Indianapolis, and I welcome your suggestions on topics or speakers.
On the evening of Oct. 22nd, at the PRSA International Conference, we will recognize and induct the College of Fellows Class of 2016 in a formal celebration of excellence and service. Here's to a great year!
Philip Tate, APR, Fellow PRSA
2016 Chair, PRSA College of Fellows

We like it, our (expert) clients like it, and it has the "Oh, cool!" factor.
That said, we do walk on tiptoes around the "ban" functions -- twice, new code has conflicted with existing directives to no good end. It's a relatively easy fix, if you have a fairly simple .htaccess file or a copy of your current one. But for now, we're simply copying IP addresses from the plugin's report and pasting them into .htaccess manually. Only this prevents me from giving it five stars.

Akg K 324 P - Chrome In-Ear Headphones
"I bought these years ago and honestly haven't used them much. Recently, I have come to appreciate that the AKG K324P IEM headphones give a neutral, realistic sound unlike the many bass-heavy headphones that are popular today.

"After starting to review a few IEM's in the past week I decided to slip these babies back into my ears as a reference point for the other IEM's.

Frankly I'm sick of all of it - the drama, the screaming, seeing it in his mouth, the looks we get because he looks even older than he is, the panic if I realize we didn't pack an extra on a trip to Target and his gets lost, the worry over his teeth and speech progression. I'm ready to cold turkey this shit because I don't see any other way but I know it's gonna succckkkk.
Btdt moms - how did you go about this? And how long before your LO forgot about it? I'm mostly worried about bedtime but I kind of figured its be fine since we're not sleeping much anyway due to the 7 week old!

A spokesman for the school says 20-year-old George Papadoliopoulos (PAH'-pah-doh-lee-OP'-oh-lis) collapsed at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. Campus police and paramedics tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Papadoliopoulos was a sophomore biomedical engineering major from Hanover, N.H.
The cause of death remains under investigation.
A school spokesman says grief counselors are available for students and staff.
Jeanne Hart-Steffes, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, broke the bad news in a campus wide email Monday that "George touched the lives of so many members of our community in numerous ways."

"Ocean, beach and bay" Top 5 Page for this destination Corpus Christi by kyoub
Corpus Christi Travel Guide: 136 reviews and 331 photos
Corpus Christi Bay is considered one of the premier bird watching spots in the world. Over 400 species of birds live here or pass through during different seasons.
The bay's location makes it ideal for ducks, sandpipers,and warblers to stop and rest during their yearly migration south.
Some birds spend all winter here. For example, the red headed duck, which summers in the northern United States and Canada, migrates to Corpus Christi Bay and nearby bays each winter.
Millions of hummingbirds stop in the Corpus Christi Bay area to feed and regain their energy during their fall and spring migrations.
Thousands of people come to the area during the hummingbirds' fall migration to see these "jewels of the sky".
The Corpus Christi Bayfront is a wonderful natural asset in a beautiful tropical setting with mild year round temperatures.
- Pros:A busy city of the bay
- In a nutshell:A great place to relax or stay busy

Astounding introductory photograph, Kay. I always look forward to seeing and hearing about all the wonderful birds when I read your pages. I have a mama Robin & 4 eggs in a flower basket on my front porch!
Great intro picture of heron. Touring USS Lexington maybe attractive as well, I think.

Nice Pelican picture. I saw a small flock flying over the Florida Everglades. They are magnificent birds.

Hi Kay, Nice Corpus coverage, Gr8 pics & tips! Spent time working based here - NASs Beeville & Kingsville, too in late '60s. Remember it as windy seaside place & good Winter second home of Canadian wheat farmers. Doug (^_^)

Alert: Chinese Domain Name Scam
Every domain owner should be cautious when it comes to dealing with unknown parties initiating contact concerned with protecting your domain name and/or trade name. In most cases it is a scam. Having now received more than a few emails from our hosting customers on the topic of Chinese and/or Asian domain registration emails, I figured a quick article addressing the topic would be appropriate.
The issue in question regards emails that are sent to the addresses publicly listed for a given domain name from alleged Chinese domain name registration assistance services. These emails seem to come from a variety of sources but generally seem to take the same form as the examples below (note that we have replaced the domain names in question with yourdomain.com and left off the Chinese registrar contact info):
Example 1:
Dear President,
We are the department of Asian Domain registration service in china. we have something need to confirm with you. we formally received an application on December 6, 2010. one company which called " IP Licensing, LLC." are applying to register "yourdomain" as Brand name and the following Domain Names:
After our initial examination, we found that the Domain Names applied for registration are as same as your company's name and trademark. these days we are dealing with it, hope to get the affirmation from your company. if your company has not authorized the aforesaid company to register these, please contact us as soon as possible. In addition, we hereby affirm that our time limit is 7 workdays. if your company files no reply within the time limit, we will unconditionally approve the application submitted by "IP Licensing, LLC.".
Best Regards,
[Name Removed]
Senior Consultant
Example 2:
Dear Manager
We are Hong Kong NewName Net Service Limited, an Service organization of Internet in China. On October 12, 2010, we formally received an application from Shanghai MingDu Technology Co., Ltd. they applied to register the internet brand (yourdomain) and some in China and Asia's domain name.
During our preliminary investigation, we found that these domain names' brand is fully identical with your trademark. Therefore, we need to confirm with you, whether you consigned Shanghai MingDu Technology Co., Ltd. to register these domain names with us or not? Or, is Shanghai MingDu Technology Co., Ltd. your business partner or distributor? If you have no relationship with this company, we assume that they have other purposes to obtain these domain names.
Currently, we have already suspended this company's application temporarily due to the seriousness of this isuue. In order to avoid the vicious domain name grabbing, please let the relevant person make a confirmation with me via email as soon as possible. Thank you for your support to our work!
Best Regards!

Example 3:
Dear yourdomain:
We are Shanghai Chooke Network Information Technology Co.,Ltd,which is the domain name register center in China.I have something need to confirm with you.
We have received an application formally.one company named "Wanda (China) Investment Co.,Ltd" applies for the domain names(www.yourdomain.cn www.yourdomain.asia etc.),and the Internet keyword(yourdomain) on the internet November 13,2010.We need to know the opinion of your company because the domain names and keyword may relate to the copyright of brand name on internet. we would like to get the affirmation of your company,please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.
Kind Regards,
[Named Removed]
Tel: +xx-xx-xxxxxxxx
Fax: +xx-xx-xxxxxxxx
Shanghai Chooke Network Information Technology Co., Ltd
A Common Theme
Note that in addition to the broken English and poor sentence structure, each example carries a sense of urgency mentioning "as soon as possible" or deadlines. Translation: "Please hurry up before you have a chance to think this through and realize what is going on."
Most letters try to give the impression they are trying to be helpful while others outright scold you. I have personally seen a reply that came back from a customer who questioned them with a return email and was told "And you will be responsible for the loss caused by the matter yourself." This response hardly seems professional or courteous. (Didn't anyone teach them you can't begin a sentence with "and"?)
Obviously by now it should be apparent that these are all a scam aimed at frightening you out of money.
Of course the reason that some domain owners may fall prey to such a scam is that in the past there was a great deal of so called "domain squatting" (also referred to as cybersquatting) where a squatter that would buy up domain names of well known trade names and then attempt to request unreasonable amounts of money from the companies who they had targeted. This was a big problem for awhile and there are probably many who remember the hassles some well known companies endured, including a number of court cases. For many, that may be as much as you remember, and if that is so, it would be understandable if these types of messages struck some fear into you.
Protections from Domain Squatting
Today, however, there are consequences for squatters. In the United States there is the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. Likewise U.S. domain registrars started being more careful about handling such issues, and provide a means for name dispute resolution. Internationally, the U.N. also has a means of dealing with trade name arbitration through its World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) agency.
As for China...
An interesting sidebar about Chinese domain name registration is that the Chinese government recently imposed some rather intrusive regulations with regard to domain registration that require domain name applicants to provide extensive personal data, including photographs of themselves. The regulations were considered so extreme that GoDaddy.com ceased performing registrations in China and the decision to do so was covered in the Washington Post in 2010.
The Moral of the Story?
If it sounds like a high pressure sales pitch, it probably is! Don't fall for this scam. If you receive a message that pertains to your domain that your not sure about, contact your hosting company.

This item from Mercy, Maude! is now in the Shop Backroom
More from Mercy, Maude!
1920s Hammered Silver Ice Bucket Cocktail Glasses Vintage Monogram M Apollo
Very vintage early 1920s silver plated nickel silver ice bucket and five cocktail stem glasses, each with a monogram M. The bucket is marked for Apollo, by Bernard Rice's Sons, an extremely popular design firm of stylish metal goods, manufactured by various firms. The Apollo name always means metal items that were the very top style for their day. The stems are marked for T & T Silver, and are also silver plated nickel silver. The bucket measures 6 inches high not including hinges and handle, and is 5 inches across the rim. The cocktail glasses measure five and one eighth inches high, and three and three sixteenths across their flared rims. Condition is good on all, no issues beyond the discreet war to the plating at the high points of the hammering as is typical and expected. Freshly hand polished but allowing the patina to remain enough to show age contrast, it can be polished more deeply to remove all darkening if one wishes. I will of course combine multiple item purchases for actual cost only shipping, by combined weight.
We do expect payment at time of purchase for single items, just click the Pay Now button on the purchase order. Multiple item purchases can either be paid for at the time of purchase, and we will refund overages on shipping and insurance cost to the penny, or you can wait for an invoice with our adjusted combined weight shipping costs, and then make payment.
*Answers to questions regarding different price, payment method, international shipping destination, etc. can be found on the Terms Of Sale page (on the left hand side of this page on the menu bar) in the "Other Information" section – a great time saver!

Corruption does not constitute a problem for businesses in Luxembourg. The country has a strong legal framework to curb corruption, and anti-corruption laws are effectively enforced. Nonetheless, some corruption cases have revealed conflicts of interest between the private and public sectors, tainting transparency in the country. The legal framework criminalises bribery, facilitation payments, gifts and abuse of office, among other offences. Neither bribery nor facilitation payments are widespread in Luxembourg.

The charge comes through directly on one of our Verizon phone bills and is identified as ILD Teleservices and the service is identified as the Business Max service. It all looks like a legitimate part of our Verizon phone bill and is is very easy to see why it was not identified to be an unauthorized charge by our bookkeeper.
We have now talked to Advanced Business, ILD and Verizon to get this issue resolved.
Supposedly one of our employees authorized this charge, but we know that is false. We receive multiple 'scam' calls daily at all of our locations - "free yellow pages listing"; "This is AT&T/Verizon, and we need to confirm your account information", etc. I want a copy of the authorization given by the employee (taped conversation or whatever) as well as the LOA provided to Verizon.
Verizon so far has been the most helpful, though I reserve judgement until we see how quickly the refunds come and if the billing stops immediately. I do believe that Verizon receives a % for collecting on behalf of ILD and Advanced Business.
ILD & Advanced Business, however, should be put out of business - it is obvious from all of the postings found online that they are well aware of the deceit involved in these bogus charges.
ILD claims to only work with reputable companies, yet from the postings they continue to work with the same fraudulent companies over and over. They are just as big a scam as the little companies they bill for.
ILD also 'educates' us on several other sites as to what they really do - merchant processing. They are set up to treat our phone accounts as credit cards. How did this happen? How can such a thing be allowed?
Now, we are being forced to go through our phone bills with a fine-tooth comb just as we would go through a credit card bill. It is ridiculous and has to stop.
If you have been victimized by ILD or Advanced Business Services or any other similar cramming scheme, please report it. File a complaint with the FCC, the FTC, the Attorney General, write to your state representatives, etc. Ask them why we aren't protected from these scams.
And, also be sure to ask your phone company to "bill block" so that the phone company can't bill 3rd party charges to you (but verify each month!!).

I'd like to assure you that ILD strongly condemns and does not participate in cramming which is the practice of placing unauthorized or misleading charges on a telephone bill.
We process over 120 million transactions each year for buyers and merchants that's over a half of a billion dollars in purchases, and only a small fraction result in disputes and chargebacks, just like with credit cards. When there are disputes, ILD investigates these with its merchants and makes sure that credits are applied back to the phone bill, just like credit card company standards.
ILD continually monitors complaint levels against the merchant who the bills through us, and if we find a merchant in violation of our policies, we have and will terminate their billing agreement. So, if you feel you have been crammed or charged without your consent, please let us know.
If you cannot get resolution, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (800) 953-7765.

I searched for info on this and couldn't find anything that answers my problem.
It seems like about once a week, the 'Comment Moderation' list of words (urls, etc) becomes corrupted. By that, I mean - blank lines appear where they did not exist before.
Each time, I take out the entire list - delete the existing list - edit it in notepad to make 'sure' there are no blank lines and no spaces at the beginning and end of any word/url/line.
I put it back in the moderation list textbox and re-save/update it.
Then, a week or so later it occurs again.
Does this sound like a familiar problem that anyone else is experiencing?
By the way, it only happens to the 'comment moderation' list - never to the 'blacklist'.... isn't that a bit strange?
Anyway, thanks for any help. All the best.
