By: Ileana Cáceres
Like many of you, this past election spurred some significant and critical self-reflection. How could this have happened? Why didn't I do more? What can I do now?
Despite having always cared deeply about the rights of immigrants and women, I confess that I had not done any direct outreach in my local communities. Instead I contributed financially to the political candidates and causes of my choice and compulsively consumed political updates from the New York Times. In discussing the famed abolitionist John Brown (who led a failed insurrection), Lincoln wrote: "It could avail him nothing that he might think himself right." You see, good thoughts and intentions evaporate in the face of harsh realities, such as the incoming administration. It availed me nothing that my heart was in the right place. And I had such stupid reasons for keeping me back. Specifically, I worried that my "gringa" Spanish wouldn't be of any help to my local Latino community.
You see, I grew up in the 90s in suburban Maryland. As a brown, curly-haired kid with nerdy tendencies, I was always scared of misstepping in either American or Latin culture, and never felt completely at ease in either. To my Anglo-American peers, I was deeply exotic, even though I just saw myself as another character from my Harry Potter books, whose internal motivations matched my own but who looked nothing like my olive-skinned self. But still, I dreamt of an owl coming to my window with my invitation for Hogwarts.
When I visited my parents' home countries (El Salvador y La Republica Dominicana), I would stumble through my Spanish and feel an even higher wall between myself and the culture. Coming from the states, where dancing consisted of awkwardly rubbing against each other in school gymnasiums, I felt like such a pura gringa out with my cousins in Santo Domingo. I didn't know how to dance merengue, salsa, cumbia o nada, so I bopped along and smiled from the bar, enjoying myself but utterly out of my element. As I navigated my diverse interests (Juan Luis Guerra, Led Zeppelin, Stravinsky, The Misfits), I had so many moments of dislocation – am I allowed in this space? Is this song for me too? Feeling like an eternal tourist, pressing one's face against a snow globe, has been a large part of my experience as a Latina in the US.
Pero ya, basta with the insecurity. This is not the time for inaction because of fear that you're not Latina enough.
In this New Year, I commit myself to throwing off the blankets of insecurity and the layers of doubt that have kept me from participating. My parents instilled me with a deep pride in being Latin American and we are under attack by the incoming administration. I may have grown up as an awkward wallflower but I reaped lasting benefits as well. For one, I am empathetic. I have many skills to contribute. I have had the luxury of being in many cultures and subcultures. I am bilingual and I am proud to be a Latina and an American.
Rather than dwell on the past and retreat into the safety of my friends, now is my time to employ my strengths and dive into the community. I have started volunteering at a local library and I'm headed to DC for the Women's March on Washington. I am fairly new to California, so I took a chance and reached out to the Latino Community Foundation to learn more about ways to get involved. I still feel like I'm not doing enough, but I am trying. Most importantly, I have realized that it is my time to quit worrying about whether I fit in, whether my pronunciation is perfect, and focus on reaching others in any way that I can. Join me.

A Winter Walk in the Woodlands: Dulwich Woods, London, UK.
On this walk I covered some familiar ground, but it's very different in the winter and especially so with the snow. I love the way the snow changes the landscape and gives a magical, mystical feeling to the woodland.
Strange I didn't see any faeries or elves though:-)

EAST ALTON — If working on a 24th consecutive MVCHA victory wasn't enough for the Edwardsville hockey team Monday night, moving within a the Class 2A championship gave the Tigers even more motivation. Throw in the fact they were facing the team that had come closest to beating them and the result was a fired-up EHS team.
And after the late-night 9-2 victory in the first game of the best-of-three championship series, the Tigers are indeed a win away from and undefeated championship season.
"We were ready," Edwardsville coach Jason Walker said. "But we had to be ready, because O'Fallon is a very good hockey team and we knew they would be prepared."
Game 2 of the series is set for 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at the East Alton Ice Arena. A Tigers victory will mean the Mississippi Valley Club Hockey Association championship. And while an Edwardsville victory wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world, Walker isn't taking anything for granted.
"Any time Edwardsville plays O'Fallon in any sport, it's going to be a hard-fought game. O'Fallon played well tonight."
Even so, Edwardsville led 3-0 at the end of the first period and doubled that lead midway through the second period before the Panthers flicked the lights on their side of the scoreboard at the East Alton Ice Arena.
The Tigers encountered some penalty troubles during the game. They were whistled for nine minor penalties overall. The Panthers were called for seven penalties.
"The Tylers were playing very well tonight," Walker said, referring to standouts Tyler Hinterser and Tyler Schaeffer. Hinterser, the defending Telegraph Player of the Year, scored three goals and had an assist, while Schaeffer had a pair of goals and three assists.
It was Schaeffer who got the scoring started in the first period. His unassisted goal at 8:54 was followed by back-to-back-goals from Hinterser, whose first at 5:52 was assisted by Schaeffer and Connor Stewart and the second at 5:02 by Jake Aurelio.
In the second period, Aurelio made it 4-0 when he scored at 9:28, assisted by Hinterser and Schaeffer. Less than two minutes later, Stanley Lucas, assisted by Hinterser and Lucas Tucker made it 5-0 at 7:54. And when Sam Bramstead scored at 5:07 off assists from Christian Blandina and Jordan Crow, the lead swelled to 6-0.
O'Fallon's Cooper Barnhill broke the shutout at 3:36 of the second period, making it 6-1.
Schaeffer got that goal back at 2:45 when he scored unassisted. Lucas Tucker made it 8-1 at 2:34, assisted by Lucas and Trevor Henson.
In the third period, O'Fallon's Graham Shudduth scored from assists by Ethan Oureda and Barnhill at 11:54. Hinterser, from Schaeffer and Aurelio, capped the scoring at 7:45.

Reworking Marxist critique, these essays on Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, and Europe advance a new understanding of "cultural politics" within the context of transnational neocolonial capitalism. This perspective contributes to an overall critique of traditional approaches to modernity, development, and linear liberal narratives of culture, history, and democratic institutions. It also frames a set of alternative social practices that allows for connections to be made between feminist politics among immigrant women in Britain, women of color in the United States, and Muslim women in Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, and Canada; the work of subaltern studies in India, the Philippines, and Mexico; and antiracist social movements in North and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. These connections displace modes of opposition traditionally defined in relation to the modern state and enable a rethinking of political practice in the era of global capitalism.

South Carolina was able to move the ball effectively early with its spread offense, but LSU regrouped to hold the Gamecocks to a single yard in the third quarter. Highlighting the Tigers' strong defensive performance was senior cornerback Demetrius Hookfin, who had two interceptions with one returned for a touchdown.
The Tigers improved to 6-1 on the season with their sixth straight win the Southeastern Conference dating back to last season. They're currently 3-0 in league games and lead the SEC West Division following an Ole Miss loss at Alabama. LSU travels to face Auburn (4-3, 2-2) next week in a game that will kickoff at 11:30 a.m. for broadcast on Jefferson Pilot.
South Carolina is now 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the SEC, and Lou Holtz is 0-2 against LSU dating back to his previous meeting against the Tigers in 1986 with Notre Dame.
Randall, replacing the injured Matt Mauck, completed 12 of 23 passes for 183 yards with no interceptions and scored a touchdown on one of his six runs for 36 yards. The 12-yard option keeper from Randall at 10:07 in the third quarter was part of 25 points the Tigers posted in the period.
"That was a nice third quarter and one of the best I have ever been around," said LSU head coach Nick Saban. "I think it is a real tribute to our players because we didn't play extremely well in the first half. I thought we were doing a good job on offense; we just weren't putting up any points."
Saban credited South Carolina's offensive formations with confusing his defense in the first half, but he made adjustments at halftime that called for the Tigers to play out of their basic scheme.
But before LSU could make their changes, the Gamecocks rolled up 212 yards of total offense in the first half with quarterback Corey Jenkins combining for 98 on the ground and through the air. He gave South Carolina a 7-0 lead with a 60-yard scoring pass to Troy Williamson on the opening drive of the ball game.
LSU answered with a 42-yard John Corbello field goal on their first possession but fell behind 14-3 when USC mounted a 14-play, 96-yard drive that ended in the second quarter with a nine-yard Andrew Pinnock touchdown run. During the drive, the Gamecocks successfully converted a fourth-and-5 at their own 47 with a fake punt pass play.
Corbello got another chance from 42 yards out but saw his kick bounce off the crossbar, but he made good on a 48-yarder as time expired in the first half.
"The field goal right before half was a big turning point in the game," said Randall. "It put us down just one score with a two-point conversion and we knew we were going to get the ball back after halftime. We knew we were going to come out and put it in the end zone and go for two."
Following his third quarter touchdown run, Randall tied the game with a two-point conversion pass to Michael Clayton. On the first play of the ensuing possession, South Carolina gave the ball back to the Tigers when Jenkins threw deep on first down and was intercepted by Hookfin at the LSU 20.
The turnover helped the Tigers take their first lead when the drove down and set up Corbello for his third field goal of the night, a 37-yard kick with 6:45 to go in the third quarter.
The LSU lead climbed to 24-14 on the Tigers' next possession on a 13-yard run from Shyrone Carey. The scoring drive started at the LSU 49 when the Gamecocks were forced to punt out of their own end zone.
The kickoff coverage for the Tigers put South Carolina in a hole on that possession and did so again after Carey's score. Starting at the USC 15, Jenkins dropped deep and unwisely floated a pass to the left flat where Hookfin was waiting with open arms. He caught the ball at the 10 and went into the end zone untouched for a touchdown. Corbello's point-after gave LSU a 31-14 lead with eight seconds remaining in the third quarter.
"I read the receiver when he was going to crack the linebacker," said Hookfin. "I saw the tailback staying in the backfield so I just read it and picked it off."
The final score for the Tigers came with 3:13 left in the game. LSU had long since gone to their ball-control mode and Domanick Davis completed a 10-play, 76-yard drive with a 5-yard scoring run around left end. Davis handled the bulk of the running chores for LSU, getting 26 carries and gaining 113 yards. He hit his stride in the third quarter during the Tigers' scoring drives and accounted for 84 return yards for a 197-yard all-purpose performance.
"The game turned out just like I figured it would," said Randall. We came out and moved the ball well. We practiced all week and prepared for this team. The team did a great job."
What are your thoughts on LSU's convincing win over South Carolina?

Marion G. Romney "…there were two cardinal principles: (1) consecration and (2) stewardship…one consecrated all his possessions to the Church…Having thus voluntarily divested himself of title to all his property, the consecrator received from the Church a stewardship by a like conveyance. This stewardship could be more or less than his original consecration, the object being to make 'every man equal according to his family, according to his circumstances and his wants and needs' (D&C 51:3). This procedure preserved in every man the right to private ownership and management of his property. At his own option he could alienate it or keep it and operate it and pass it on to his heirs…He consecrated to the Church the surplus he produced above the needs and wants of his family. This surplus went into a storehouse from which stewardships were given to others and from which the needs of the poor were supplied." (Conference Report, Apr. 1966, pp. 96-98)
Russell M. Nelson "Throughout the world, however, strident voices are engaged in divisive disputation and name-calling. Often demeaning nicknames are added to - or even substituted for - given names. Unfortunately, terms of derision obscure the true identity of children of the covenant…When the Nephites were truly righteous, they avoided divisive nicknames…'There were no…Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God' (4 Nephi 1:17). That lesson from history suggests that we also delete from our personal vocabularies names that segregate…" (Ensign, May 1995, p. 34)
Joseph Smith "Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and it will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 255)

Gordon B. Hinckley "It was the subject of the proclamation on the family that framed the conversation President Hinckley and Elder Neal A. Maxwell had in early November 1995 with US President Bill Clinton during a visit to the White House. 'It is our feeling that if you're going to fix the nation; you need to start by fixing families. That's the place to begin,' President Hinckley told the chief executive." (Go Forward with Faith, p. 527)
Brigham Young "We are under the necessity of assembling here from Sabbath to Sabbath, and in ward meetings, and besides, have to call our solemn assemblies, to teach, talk, pray, sing, and exhort. What for? To keep us in remembrance of our God and our holy religion. Is this custom necessary? Yes, because we are so liable to forget - so prone to wander, that we need to have the Gospel sounded in our ears as much as once, twice, or thrice a week, or, behold, we will turn again to our idols." (Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 165)

Director Masaaki Yuasa has a talent for capturing the post-modern twenty-something male ripe with paranoia and grossly ill-equipped to deal with adulthood. He did it before in the buoyant Mind Game, in which he taught us to love life, and he's done it again in Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, which tells us not to take it for granted. Here, his symbol is the '4.5 tatami' apartment, a product of Japanese modernity that can incorporate everything anyone needs to live in a claustrophobic sort of efficiency. But in its simplest form, it is also a box. Anyone who spends their days in a 4.5 tatami apartment is in many ways effectively contained, packaged, cut off.
The main character Watashi (literally meaning 'I') happens to be stuck in a metaphorical 4.5 tatami room because he put himself there. Desperate to package his life into a perfect, rosy university adventure in which he's popular and girls love him, he only ends up encountering disaster. And when things go wrong, he imagines he could have attained said bliss had he joined a different club or chosen a different girl. 'Is this it?' he says in a moment of bitter reflection. 'There's got to be some more meaningful life out there. More rose-coloured, more sparkling. There might have been some university life without a single dark cloud that would have satisfied me.' He reminds me of students during freshers week, who force themselves into unnatural social situations with hundreds of drunk, horny strangers for fear of missing out. All the while, they fail to notice the bloody obvious - that there's a degree passing them by.
Then again, why would shallow and paranoid twenty-somethings ever do the obviously sensible when hiding away in overcomplicated fantasies seems so much more attractive?
Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei shares another habit with Mind Game in that their respective protagonists get multiple chances to redeem themselves. While Nishi dies and comes back to life, Watashi travels back in time to relive his first two years of university every episode. Although undoubtedly the engine that drives the narrative, this gimmick risks leaving some viewers either scratching their heads or, worse, feeling patronised. A Groundhog Day-esque story needs to work extra hard not to lose suspense as its audience essentially watches the same events again and again, and Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei only partly succeeds at this. In my case, the first three iterations seemed the least rewarding. I felt a twinge of disappointment when the second episode showed Watashi screwing up his life all over again, only while in the movie club instead of playing tennis. After the third instalment, I took a long break.
Luckily, nothing covers cracks more thickly than persistent charm and the show's mad situational comedy dispels any misgivings by the fourth episode. Regardless of the repetition, Watashi's pathetic delusions remain inherently some of the funniest tragedies I've seen this side of Welcome to the NHK. Each episode paints a slightly different facet of his university days, usually as they roll unwittingly and naturally into disorder. Best of all, this is a show that has a coherent ending in mind - every rehashed moment represents a vital fragment of the story's mosaic, making the final scene an elegant and wholly gratifying construction.
The character designs have a stylish comic book economy that give the impression the animators completed each frame in just a few strokes. The exception is Ozu, Watashi's friend who has a frightfully amphibious face: a head like a fish's, teeth like a shark's, and unnervingly dark lips set against a pale visage. Occasionally, in his wiliest moments, they give him a wagging fox tail. Other than that, most of the artistry occurs in the background details (fractal patterns in the trees and the scenery made of eerie black-and-white live-action photography), the framing of the shots, and the precision editing, which cement Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei's patchwork aesthetic beautifully.
On the other hand, the score functions without demanding or even deserving any attention.
Watashi's nondescript name seems appropriate considering his mediocre personality and his somewhat gauche, vaguely intelligent, blandly self-centred attitude towards everything. For instance, he's bitter about his lack of romance though he makes no serious effort to establish one, and he expects club members to embrace him when he harbours nothing but contempt for them. His only point of fascination is a tendency to overthink things in gorgeously poetic yet amusingly petty monologues, which flow with the kind of riptide speed that make subtitles damn hard to follow. Moreover, this is a story steeped in Watashi's subjectivity; his observations colour every aspect of the show, from dictating the confused pace of the story with his torrential dialogue, to defining even the characterisation of his supporting cast.
This is particularly the case with the mysteriously ugly Ozu, who triggers the strongest emotional reactions. Watashi's language becomes most emphatic when he talks about his friend, who he describes as being able to eat 'fifteen helpings of people's misfortunes' and having 'a laugh so unnatural it was like he wasn't born with the proper muscles to do it'. More than once, he refers to their relationship as like being tied together by 'a dark thread of fate', which is the long way of saying Ozu is his foil. A shameless hedonist who, unlike Watashi, easily flows with his every destructive whim, Ozu appears like a veritable Loki, a subversive trickster of the most entertaining kind.
That's probably the root of Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei's success - its exhuberant and vivacious supporting cast. Every eccentric twist in the story seems all the funnier or unnerving because they make it so.
Humorously misanthropic, weird and offbeat, but also hopeful, Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is the perfect antidote for the lies we tell ourselves that life would be perfect if only we could attain a certain status or join a certain social group or just be someone else. Furthermore, the show turns out to be one of the surprising triumphs of 2010. Not that standing out is particularly tough in a year marked for its famine of originality, but I am surprised that among the current trend of aimless moe and gratutious ecchi shows, someone is still making daring, life-affirming programmes about empathetic human beings. Thank you, Yuasa.
Despite being seemingly yet another romantic school comedy, Tatami Galaxy is not one of the same crap you will forget a week after you complete it. There is a lot more going on in it than petty problems common people face every day. It is multi-layered, with hints of science fiction, psychological introspection, and even witty life lessons.
Unlike many series which are showing you something in the first episodes that is not representative of the rest of the series, Tatami Galaxy doesn't try to fool you about its content. It's a consistent train of thought coming from a university student that thinks way too fast and way too much to the point it stops being healthy. It is overthinking but unlike many other shows, it is not pretentious since he is simply rationalizing his insecurities instead of trying to pass as wise.
It has a very artistic presentation, which unlike many other series it is not there simply as pretty backgrounds, nor as a trick for fooling the viewer into thinking the show is more than it actually is. The artwork is representative of the protagonist's messed up mentality and not some poor excuse to make fan service seem artistic.
It is also one of the very few exceptions where the seemingly episodic structure ends up coming together at the end. Despite appearances, every episode is not a stand-alone event with zero effect on the rest. There is even a solid ending, a thing that is very rare in slice of life series and comedies in general.
It is also one of the very few exceptions where time resets are done right. They are always shit because they take away tension by giving the protagonist a cheap way to redo events. The difference with Tatami Galaxy is that it's not really about time resets as it is about alternative realities and doesn't let the protagonist know they exist until the very end.
This way they are not overused, they bring together seemingly irrelevant events, and without trying to keep you interested during those events with tasteless fan service. Most anime are all about escapism, with cute girls in an eternally frozen paradise you have no wish to leave from. Tatami Galaxy dares to go the other way; it is not trying to make you feel fluffy inside; it tells you to break free of the illusion. It is cathartic and not otaku bait.
The message of the show is finding a way out of your fear of disappointment caused by bad choices. The protagonist constantly thinks that making the right decisions is all it takes to be happy in life, when in reality it's how you handle your choices that matters. This is something I rarely see in other series; they just use amnesia and time travel to change choices instead of changing the attitude.
The show also does a good job at fleshing out its secondary cast instead of leaving them as background decorations or counterparts for the protagonist. Nobody is defined by a few simple quirks and is always relevant with the themes. By the end of the series they all evolve far beyond the archetypes they began as.
And even if you leave aside all that, it is still a very good comedy, ranging from slapstick to psychological, and does it all without dragging a joke to last more than it has to, or keeps repeating it in every episode. Also, since the protagonist thinks and talks very fast, the number of jokes per minute is much higher than your average comedy.
This is also what makes some to give up on the show early on, since there is too much going on to keep track of the jokes, or don't find the comedy good because it's not the usual juvenile variant. There are even those who find the ending to be a cop-out or consider the symbolisms of the clock and the moths to be pretentious. I am not one of those people since I loved the comedy, I found the symbolisms relevant, the ending was foreshadowed throughout the series, and had a message of anti-escapism which I happen to be a great supporter of.
I find it to be an amazing series, practically flawless in every category, and easily deserves to be called one the best anime titles of all times.

The choices you make might change, but the end result will always be the same.
For our unnamed main character—we'll call him Watashi—this couldn't be more true. He's a college dropout at the end of his rope, eating a meal at the end of the night at a ramen stand. There, he meets a (self proclaimed) God of Matrimony. After this God's inexplicably large chin tells Watashi that he basically knows everything about him, our hapless main character is sent on a flashback to his not so great college years.
The flashback of his college years zips on by, and so does Watashi's narration of events. He talks at a thousand miles per hour, and that might keep people away from watching this show since the dialog is hard to follow. Don't. Watashi is hard to follow, but the show he's in isn't. Think of him as a guy being forced to talk about what happened in his past but does so as fast and painless as he can. He's selfish, and doesn't care about easing the viewer into his life nor does he care for seeing people as they are.
You see, while Watashi's lightspeed narration takes over the soundtrack, the way he sees the world takes over the visuals. Every backdrop looks like a cardboard cutout and the characters lack color, but the design choice is deliberate. The design shows the way Watashi sees the world, so focused on himself that what he sees around him might as well be a parody. The easygoing members of the Softball Club, for example, all have the same smiling face, while the repo men of the Bicycle Police (don't ask) look more like gorilla's in prison suits. Yes, really.
This narrow focus from Watashi also affects what the viewer learns about the people in his life, meaning not much is learned about them at all. Instead, the characters are closer to ideas in his life. Jougasaki, for example, is Watashi's antithesis for success, being handsome, buff, and leads the Misogi Movie Club, while Watashi is average looking, scrawny, and barely keeps his place in any club. Jougasaki and his biceps often play the villain role to Watashi, and his other hobbies include boobs, a far cry from Watashi's sexual repression.
Then there's Ozu, the wildcard in Watashi's life, the kind of guy who can be one's best friend or worst enemy depending on how one approaches life. Ozu's described as not having a single good trait about him, but as the show goes on he shows a wit sharper than his teeth and foresight wider than his narrow eyes. Watashi—and the viewer—is never sure how Ozu does what he does, whether it's getting classified information or hijacking a blimp. But Ozu's also the fall guy, who Watashi blames for the way his life has turned out.
You see, as Watashi is sent on a flashback through his not so great college years, he thinks that his life might've turned out better if he joined a different club, so he joins the Tennis Club. He doesn't just want a good life, but a rose colored campus life. Through club activities, he plans to surround himself with raven haired maidens and reach sweet, sweet romance. But he can't make any friends, let alone start a romance, and is instead stuck with Ozu. Whether from Ozu's mischief, Jougasaki's villainy, or his own selfishness, Watashi ends up not liking where his life ends up, and relives his flashback to join a different club in hopes of getting a rose colored campus life.
And does it again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
No matter what club Watashi joins, the end result is always the same, and he never seems to learn. Do more than a few things always go wrong after Watashi joins a club? Maybe. Is Watashi setting his expectations too high? Definitely. But how else would he act? He's fresh out of high school and been sheltered all his life. A guy like that is bound to be a hopelessly naïve fool, as he often points out every time his hopes are dashed. But what's really baffling—or believable, in his case—is how often he looks past what—or who—he does have, like Akashi.
This is because Akashi is that friend, who's also a girl, who might become Watashi's girlfriend if he just thought to talk to her more. She treats him more fondly than she treats others, but she doesn't throw herself at him. She has other concerns, like her engineering, and always tells it like she sees it, able to keep even Jougasaki at bay. She isn't the companion Watashi deserves, but the companion Watashi needs. That said, the romance is non-existent, but this show isn't a romance; it's a story about a guy who wouldn't know opportunity if it dangled in front of his face.
And while Watashi ignores opportunity, he keeps reliving his college years in hopes of getting a rose colored campus life. Through this, the show becomes frustrating, but not for the right reasons.
For theme, it makes sense for the show's story to be repetitive. Because no matter what choice Watashi makes, the end result is always the same. The problem is the show's repetitive execution. The first five episodes have different set-ups, but the opening, middle, and final act of each episode is roughly the same. It tries to be different with each episode, but those common threads end up bringing focus to how similar they are.
On the other hand, the last six episodes take the same set-up, but they play out differently and are only similar in their final acts. They don't try too hard to be unified, and this lets each episode be its own story while still keeping to the show's theme, which makes for a refreshing watch. But this begs the question of why the show doesn't do something similar for its first half. The show is supposed to be challenging, I get it, but until the halfway point it's not even obtuse; just awfully repetitive.
That repetition also brings down the characters. As characters themselves, they're all great. But their interactions with each other become repetitive. Seeing Watashi dread his first meeting with Ozu loses impact after the second time, and the scene of Watashi saving Akashi from a random moth can only be cute so many times before it becomes old hat. Until the show's second half, their interactions with each other become predictable, and the sad thing is it doesn't need to be.
Maybe the nature of the show's theme ends up making it too easy for it to become repetitive. But since it was able to keep the story refreshing from the halfway point onward, I have to wonder what this show could have become if its effort were better directed in the first half. It definitely has thematic focus, it knows what it wants to say, and has a great cast of characters needed to say it. It could be an excellent show, but it's not there yet.
I say "yet" because writing and directing is something that can improve with time. I'd like to see this show remade with that improvement in mind, its effort redirected to avoid being repetitive, to be better than it is now. It DID show the ability to be better than it is now, which makes it so frustrating it fell short of being excellent. As it is now, Tatami Galaxy isn't a rose colored experience, but it's definitely an opportunity worth grabbing.
The Tatami Galaxy should have been a movie.
That's my criticism in a nutshell. While I was watching Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, I was struck by the feeling that it didn't quite feel like an anime. I don't mean that because it wasn't filled with accidental groping and meaningless drama born from misunderstandings, or even that its art style wasn't generic sparkly eye bullshit. What I realized in the final episode was that Tatami Galaxy didn't feel like an Anime Show, but rather felt like an Anime Movie in every aspect.
The themes, the subject matter, the presentation, the art, the narrative, the execution all scream "Movie" and it would have been much better off had it been so.
Pretty much every gripe I have with the show has to do with its length. The story and message aren't particularly deep or complex, or even unique, and so there's no need for it to have an 11 episode runtime to examine it.
I've seen this premise before, many times. Groundhog day with the twist that the participant is not fully aware of the loop. It's Endless 8. It's not like anything new is being said here.
I don't think it's possible to make it all the way to the end of Tatami Galaxy and not end up liking it, but I had to suffer through 5 episodes of boredom before the story became engaging. That's a big crime to me. The show would have been much improved if several episodes, perhaps around 6 or 7 were cut entirely. Another problem with length is that the characters are never very fleshed out, despite the screen time they're given. Like the Endless 8, the first several episodes are the exact same events and circumstances happening under different settings. What I would have expected, and what would have alleviated much of the boredom is if we got to see the characters from different angles through the repeats. If through each repeat a new side of a character was revealed.
As it was, we see the same characters presented in pretty much exactly the same way every time. Once we learn the secrets behind Jougasaki, we know everything there is to know about him. We see Akashi in every single episode, and learn practically nothing about her. Nothing that we didn't know from our first encounter with her. The same scenes play over and over and nothing is learned, nothing changes.
The show never explained anything to do with the time warp, or the maze of rooms. Why is this happening, how is it happening? Maybe I don't need to know, but what about "The Master" acting the god of love? Was that real? he never makes any further allusions to it past the first episode. It's almost like they forgot they did that and made him into a normal character.
Where the show really hits its stride is around the episode where our main character chooses the doll to be his love. Incredibly interesting and surreal to see his psychology break down, this is one of the show's high water marks. From there the rest of the show deviates drastically from the formulaic episodes before it. Even if our protagonist ends up in the same position with the same people because of the same person, the journey is unpredictable and an enjoyable ride. If the show had been like this from the beginning, it would be one of my all time favorite shows.
Entertainment is meant to be that, entertainment. It can make you sad, it can make you tense, it can make you excited. If it makes you bored, it has failed. For nearly half the show, I was bored with Tatami Galaxy. However, the show picked up, and the ending was fantastic. The second to last episode is one of the most interesting, engaging, and entertaining episodes of anime I've ever watched. The visual style is certainly avant-garde, and that might score too many points with some people, but to me, it's just decoration. Tatami Galaxy could have been much better. It's flawed, and more than it needed to be. The runtime could have been cut down drastically, to movie length, or the characters could have been fleshed out more. Despite these complaints Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is a good show.
***This is a spoiler free review***
Formulating this review was actually quite difficult because while I both admired and enjoyed the visuals and characters of this anime, I felt as if I had to force myself to sit through it.
Story: 7.5/10
The plot and how each episode flows within each other is actually done very cleverly. Essentially we follow Watashi as he struggles in college to find pure enjoyment and love. His so called friend Ozu is always causing trouble and leading Watashi down the wrong path but they always end up sticking up for each other. The love interest of the show Akashi isn't utilized as much as she could have been but overall she plays a pretty important role in the story. So essentially in the beginning episodes we get a deji vu feeling because we see the same timeline played over and over again with the clubs Watashi joins changes every time and plays out differently but achieves the same outcome. It isn't until the final episodes that everything comes together and you get that, "OHH so that's why that happened" satisfaction. Still even after eleven episodes I wonder why I sat through this show. I will admit that the plot was interesting and original but it still provided little enjoyment.
Animation: 8.2/10
This show sports a very abstract scheme that works very well with the universe. We see a lot of different animation styles used in many different ways to set the mood. My general opinion is that Madhouse really is one of the great forerunners of animation. This show was very visually appealing to watch.
Sound: 6.2/10
There wasn't really a lot to comment on about the sound of this anime. While the music wasn't distracting, it wasn't anything to really comment on. The only praise should go to the voice actors. Atashi, Ozu, and Watashi had spot on performances and their voice actors really brought out their personalities well.
Characters: 8.9/10
The only other thing that I found this show delivered on other than the animation was the characters. To me a really well done character is someone you remember weeks or years after you watch a show. While I just recently finished this anime, the cast really left a lasting impression on me. The way the characters interacted with each other was very amusing and overall was what kept me coming back. A well done cast can help keep viewers stay hooked even if the plot is lacking or unenjoyable (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, Angel Beats!, K-On!, ext.).
Overall: 7.7/10
While I did not enjoy this show, the abstract animation style and close nick pack of characters really helped turn this deji vu, soul searching anime into something that I could sit through. Now I really bashed the plot and I do not want this to turn you away from watching the show. The plot IS original and thought provoking; I just either wasn't in the correct mindset or mood to watch a show of this nature. First glances made me believe it was a lighthearted comedy but it turned out to be something drastically different. Regardless I only review with the facts and what I can explain so taking my personal feelings about the show out of the question, it's worth your time.
Enjoyment: 6.5/10
Thanks for reading my review! If you liked my writing style, would like to see some other reviews, or just want to talk, please stop by my page!

Network Connection: A stable, high-speed (wired or wireless) network and internet connection are required for the test. The response time for each test depends on your network's bandwidth, number of students simultaneously testing, size of test content, proxy server (if used), and other factors. Network Requirements 5
Network Configuration: Session timeouts on proxy servers and other devices should be set to values greater than the average scheduled testing time. For example, if test sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes, consider session timeouts of 65–70 minutes. Web proxy servers must be configured to NOT cache data received from servers. For any device that performs traffic shaping, packet prioritization, or quality of service, the IP addresses to be used for testing should be given a high priority to ensure the best performance. Network Requirements 6
Whitelisting: Content filters, firewalls, and proxy servers should be configured to allow the URLs for the servers being used. Network Requirements 7
Performance Factors: Bandwidth Number of students simultaneously testing Wireless networking configuration Secure browser Network Requirements 8
Bandwidth: At least 20Kbps bandwidth per student being tested Affected by both Local Area Network (LAN) traffic and internet traffic from the router LAN should always be analyzed to determine potential traffic bottlenecks Network Performance 9
Number of students simultaneously testing: Network performance may slow when large numbers of students are testing at one time. Multiply the number of students being tested by 20Kbps to get an estimate of bandwidth needed, and compare that estimate with the network speed test. Perform network analyses at different times to ensure adequate capacity. Network Diagnostics Tool 10

I have been working at Daugherty Business Solutions full-time (More than a year)
Daugherty Business is an honest and direct company. Daugherty allows you to succeed in your career by supporting your efforts to improve yourself. Daugherty has in house partnerships with multiple certification companies and offers to train & certify you in areas that you express interest in. This does require that you sign up and attend the classes.
The only "con" that I can even think of is the limited information available surrounding raises. I am constantly being told that "it depends". It goes without saying that if you do well you will get a raise however there are 2 titles that each person carries. A consultant title and a billable/role title. If you move up in title for either the consultant title or billable title then your raise will be reflecting your new title. Thus I cannot get a straight % answer for a simple question.
I worked at Daugherty Business Solutions full-time (More than 3 years)
Great culture, employee focused with strong delivery and client credibility. Great client base in Atlanta and some of the smartest people I have worked with. The leadership cares and it shows.

*You will have the opportunity to learn, both self directed and instructor based.
*The benefits are truly better than any where I have ever worked.
*You will have the ability to learn from a variety of people.
*Learn from a variety of people...in the past year we have turned over the majority of our leadership with little to no communication to us. We find out people have left when we ask people why our emails have gone unanswered.
*We are supposed to be focused on sales, but we have also turned over 7 sales people in the last three years.
*We were told a new management structure was coming back in July, there has been no further communication.
Advice to Management
Why are we not communicating to our employee base? Why are we saying negative things about leaders that leave? I am starting to feel very insecure, and I know others are as well.
Helpful (3)
I worked at Daugherty Business Solutions full-time
Good benefits. Good consultants. Some very good managers.
This company is attractive on the outside, but once in you find that you were hired to fill a seat (contractor) at a client site. Yes, a handful of senior folks do consulting, but it's mostly staff aug. Don't be fooled. If Daugherty is your only job offer, then consider it, you will be working with some good people. If you are looking for a career, this is not it. High turnover, too. Leadership just sweeps it under the carpet.
Advice to Management
Take a closer look at your leadership in the Atlanta Branch. Why is there apathy and why are people leaving?
Helpful (7)
I worked at Daugherty Business Solutions full-time (More than a year)
Beneftis are decent, pay is just about market average
Incredibly confusing managment structure. No communication from leads/managment staff. A LOT of after hours work. Wouldnt recommend.

Hope this trend changes for newer employees

Silence Is Golden
0 Comments Published on March 27th, 2014 by Thomas Allen
Silence is Golden (video transcript)
"The present research shows that conversational flow is associated with positive emotions and a heightened sense of belonging, self-esteem, social validation and consensus.
Presumably, people expect conversations to be fluent and therefore experience disruptions as relatively harmful….
People report feeling more rejected and experience more negative emotions when a conversation is disrupted by a silence, rather than when it flows."
– Dr. Nanke Koudenburg University of Groningen, The Netherlands
"Witnesses often feel obligated to fill in opposing counsel's pauses by talking."
-Brad Bradshaw, Ph.D. [source]
Today we're going to talk about how silence is golden in depositions:
Generally in a deposition you get into a rhythm where you ask a question and the witness answers. You go back and forth and it moves pretty quickly. That rhythm is good because
- a) it saves time
- b) it can actually get a witness who otherwise might be hostile into a more cooperative mode because they get used to answering your questions on a certain cadence.
However, sometimes, silence in the deposition is the best technique. Psychologists who have studied the issue or dynamic of humans communicating with each other say that when you're in a middle of conversation and then there's a silence, often what's termed an awkward silence, people have feelings of rejection and negative emotions. Well you can use that to your advantage. Once you get into a nice rhythm and ask the witness several questions in a row, then you can hit them with a question where you need a lot of detail, or you're not sure what happened but you think the witness has information and you want them to volunteer that information.
So what you do is you ask a question, get an answer, ask a question, get an answer, and get the witness into a nice rhythm and cadence. Then, ask your main question and let the witness answer, and when they're finished… just wait… Many times the witness will expect you to ask another question, and if you don't and you look at the witness expectantly, then the witness will think that maybe they need to continue to answer.
Now sometimes this doesn't work, but a lot of times, particularly for witnesses who are not experienced in depositions, they will continue to volunteer information or just continue talking, because the silence seems so uncomfortable for them.
Now if you're able to get a witness 1 time to volunteer information that they shouldn't have cause you paused for an extra 15 or 20 seconds, then you're getting something very valuable. The other thing is that pause is not indicated on the transcript. So it doesn't hurt you at all to wait and see if the witness has something else to add that might benefit your case.
We're going to watch a short clip that shows an example of how this might work and how you can implement this technique in taking depositions.

Question about Optoma MovieTime DV10 Multimedia Projector
Posted by owen paul on
My dv10 has quit reading the discs when I put them in the dvd player, I have tried many different dvds and a dvd cleaner, but I still get the same result. I need help quick!
I've had the Optoma DV10 since Nov 2006 and the DVD player stopped working recently. Can someone help me fix the problem? Thanks.
Hi Owen here, I didn't understand the reply, unless it was saying the only answer is to get a new projector. Everything else works. My only current solution is either to send the projector back or buy a dvd player and connect it to my projector. Not sure which to do.
Thanks anyway Owen
snap i got same. My optima dv10 projecto reads disc then says 'no disc found' any hints??? just out of guaruntee.
I have the same problem...the second time that it's happened. I expect is a design fault with the top DVD loading area.
Just want to let you know that after i perchased my dv10 from USA it was locked to region 1 and will not play dvds from UK.
I succesfully unlocked it with a hack but again it stopped playing dvds from the UK after 2 years and soon i play dvd it will say"no disc".

Yes, you read my title correctly -- I just bought fabric online [eBay] for the first time! I've always ordered fabric through stores, or bought in-stock fabric, and until last week, I'd never really even thought of buying fabric on eBay. I've been wanting a Schumacher fabric [if you're familiar with designer fabric, you know that Schumacher tends to carry a pretty hefty price per yard tag], Hothouse Flowers, for quite some time, but couldn't gather the strength to pay its price. I just want 2 pillows for the couch, so 2 yards would suffice, but when you're talking a $147/yard purchase, you just can't really seem to talk yourself into that one... At least I couldn't. So when I stumbled upon some Hothouse Flowers fabric on eBay last week and saw the price, I was floored! I quickly sent a message to the seller inquiring about the fabric's condition and everything else I could think of, and was very happy when she replied with a nice response the next morning answering all of my questions.
Here's to hoping it isn't too good to be true! [I did make sure she has good reviews -- she has almost 6000 reviews and is rated with 100% positive feedback.]
2.3 meters is approximately 2.5 yards [more than I even needed! Yay!], and as you can see, the US price was $97.83. Which makes this price per yard = $39.13. Talk about a major score! When I saw the initial price and that everything was in meters and pounds, I figured I'd get hit with an insane shipping price, but not too bad either = $45.47.
So my total ended up being = $147.26 [shipping included]. That's what I would've paid for 1 yard, if I'd ordered through a store, plus shipping! So, if all goes well and I get my fabric and it's in excellent condition [as the seller stated] and I don't get cheated, then this will be one of my best bargain finds yet!
I'll keep you posted with how it all turns out. Hopefully in a week or 2, I'll be posting pictures of this beautiful fabric in stellar condition... Fingers crossed!
[You can see the fabric with the pillows in my living room in this post.]
