W-07: The Citizen's Dilemma in Divisive Times | Four Voices
Man and His Symbols
Those of us who get our bearings from the "Spirit of the Depths" as well as the "Spirit of the Times"—who pay attention to politics as well as to our dreams—find this a difficult historical moment. How do we manage ourselves psychologically and politically amidst all the fury and vitriol in public discourse? How do we tend both psyche and polis? The American election looms against the backdrop of a fierce zeitgeist—economic and environmental crises, revolution, tyrants who murder their own citizens, occasional glimpses of a new day.
The C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco presents this half day conference where four Jungians will speak to these issues from diverse points of view. In the tradition of Jung's Man and His Symbols, we will use word and image to evoke both the collective and the archetypal.

Thomas Singer, M.D.
Super PAC dollars and the insatiable national appetite for the lowest level of pandering at the highest volume make the chances of a substantive debate about our country's vision and policies of the future highly unlikely in the 2012 Presidential elections. Although so much is at stake, it is still reasonable to ask: why should anyone join the "talking heads" who will be surfing the subject endlessly? Even though the issues and policies will be muddied rather than clarified, there is still something inherently fascinating about this national spectacle which will play more like a Superbowl game than the Lincoln-Douglas debates. The fascination comes from the fact that the collective psyche and its connection to the cultural and collective unconscious are energized with charged emotionality, complexes, and characters parading across the national stage. The elections give us a unique opportunity to consider the state of our national psyche in its confusions, absurdities and deep concerns. What issues will trigger potent emotions in the electorate? Which cultural complexes with their stereotypical thinking and fixed attitudes will shape and determine public opinion? The Presidential elections are a collective x-ray about how we perceive ourselves as a people, what we fear and what we hope for at a conscious and unconscious level.
THOMAS SINGER, M.D. is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in San Francisco. In the past decade, he has been focusing on aspects of the collective psyche in a series of articles and books about cultural complexes and the cultural unconscious. He has broadened his inquiry to include art, literature, politics, economics, history and mythology. On these subjects, Dr. Singer has collaborated in the writing of The Cultural Complex; Psyche and the City; Placing Psyche: Exploring Cultural Complexes in Australia; Ancient Greece and Modern Psyche, and the newest book, South in the Psyche: Exploring Cultural Complexes in Latin America.

Richard Stein, M.D.
"Yes and no. Between the yes and the no, spirits take flight from their matter, and heads are separated from their bodies." —Henry Corbin, alone with the alone
In the journey of many seers comes the confrontation with a politics of extremism. Jung's reaction to the break with Freud threw him into the chaos of a collective unconscious at the brink of war. His explorations in The Red Book attest to the depth of the conflict and reveal his discovery of an inner guide.
From the Middle East, we learn of the persecutions of great Islamic mystics and their revelations of light and guidance. Henry Corbin, the renowned French Islamist, writes of the Great Disjunction in the Western psyche and how it functions in the cultural wars between the Christian West and Islam. With this perspective in mind, we will examine some of the religious and political forces within our own society.
RICHARD STEIN, M.D., is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst who has been in private practice in San Francisco for 35 years. He has taught for years in the Analytic Training and the Public Programs at the Jung Institute in San Francisco, as well as other training centers. His study of the parallels and differences between Jung and Sri Aurobindo has been expanded by explorations in shamanism, Sufism, and the kabbalah.
Clinging to the Axis Mundi: The Poetry of Politics
Naomi Ruth Lowinsky, Ph.D.
"Our times have demonstrated what it means for the gates of the underworld to be opened." —C.G. Jung
How can poetry respond to the rancor, the bitterness, the extremism, the climate change deniers, the New Deal dismantlers, the Women's Rights plunderers of our collective moment? Poetry is no more than the flap of a butterfly's wings, the dart of a hummingbird—a strophe flung into the roar of the mob. Poetry does so little, dares so much. Poetry is the prophet down from the mountain, a gadfly on the body politic, a witness to the desecration; poetry sings our cultural myths, mourns what's been lost, praises the newborn day. Naomi Ruth Lowinsky will read and muse about some of her political poems.
NAOMI RUTH LOWINSKY, PH.D., is an analyst member of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, a widely published poet, and the author of three books of poetry, most recently Adagio & Lamentation. The Sister from Below: When the Muse Gets Her Way is a memoir of her creative life. She is co-editor with Patricia Damery of Marked by Fire: Stories of the Jungian Way.
Richard Tarnas, Ph.D.
The past and the future are converging in our time with extraordinary force. Old structures are collapsing, movements for radical change spreading, societies becoming deeply polarized – all this amidst an increasingly critical state of Earth's biosphere. To help us navigate such a dramatic threshold of transformation, we need multiple perspectives and sources of insight.
Jung pursued astrological research throughout his career, and many of us who have followed his lead in a more systematic way have concluded that there are few frames of reference more helpful in illuminating the timing of individual and collective archetypal dynamics than an archetypally informed knowledge of the ongoing planetary movements. Perhaps more than any other form of analysis, archetypal astrology can illuminate synchronistic waves of events and trends occurring throughout the world at a given time, while also revealing larger historical patterns that unfold cyclically through the centuries. In this final portion of the conference, we will examine the current planetary alignments to help identify the major dynamics at work in the cultural zeitgeist for our complex and precarious moment in history.
RICHARD TARNAS, PH.D., is a professor of philosophy and cultural history at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where he founded the graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness. He is the author of The Passion of the Western Mind, a history of Western thought that became both a best seller and a required text in many universities, and Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View, which received the Book of the Year Prize from the Scientific and Medical Network in the UK.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this seminar, participants should be able:
1. To discuss ways we can manage ourselves psychologically in difficult political times, ways to stay connected to our values in this historical moment while also staying connected to our souls, ways to tend both psyche and polis.
2. To analyze the state of our national psyche from the evidence of the current election season, for example, which cultural complexes are currently shaping political opinion?
3. To describe and assess the deep contribution that Islamic mysticism has to offer to healing the polarizing conflicts of our contemporary political process. To see the cultural roots of what Jung rediscovered through active imagination as the collective unconscious. To consider Corbin and Jung's respective approaches to the individual and the role of inner guidance in the mature development of the person.
4. To demonstrate how the creative process, in this case poetry, can support us psychologically when our psyches are violently affected by the news of the day. To consider how creativity can bind together the spirit of the times and the spirit of the depths.
5. To explain our times from the point of view of archetypal astrology. To identify the major dynamics at work in the cultural zeitgeist as they are affected by current planetary alignments.

Update of December 2011: APIS announces its latest update of State-by-State alcohol policies. This update reports on 21 substantive changes in State alcohol policy statutes and regulations that occurred though January 1, 2011. Highlights include changes regarding underage drinking, alcohol and pregnancy, alcohol and motor vehicles, retail sales of alcohol, health care services and financing, and more.
NIAAA web site now provides access to the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) based on the earlier work of Alex Wagenaar at University of Minnesota. It's purpose is to encourage research on alcohol policies in the US. The Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) provides user-searchable access to authoritative, detailed, and comparable information on alcohol-related policies in the United States, at both State and Federal levels. Designed primarily as a tool for researchers, APIS is intended to encourage and facilitate research on the effects and effectiveness of alcohol-related policies. The alcohol-related policies covered by APIS include: Alcoholic beverage control , Taxation and pricing , Advertising, marketing, and mass media, Transportation, crime, and public safety, Health care services and financing education, Public services, functions, and programs, Employment and workplace. These areas of alcohol-related policy are described further in the Alcohol Policy Classification System. APIS provides information on alcohol-related policies in several formats and at several levels of detail: 1) Detailed Information on Selected Alcohol Policy Topics - This section of the APIS Web site provides the following information on each policy topic: a brief narrative description; a list of definitions (if necessary); a summary of relevant Federal law (if any); tables comparing policies on that topic across jurisdictions (as of a particular date and/or over a period of time specified by the user); a brief explanation of variables used in creating these tables; notes explaining the limitations of the information provided; charts and maps; relevant statutory and regulatory text; and references to selected Federal publications. All tables may be downloaded in a format suitable for many spreadsheet and statistical programs. 2) Archive of Alcohol-Related Bills and Regulations - This section of the APIS Web site provides the following information on every alcohol-related bill and regulation enacted or adopted in the United States (at both State and Federal levels), beginning January 1, 2002: a brief narrative summary of the bill or regulation; the full text of that bill or regulation; and the full text of statutory or regulatory code(s) as amended by that bill or regulation. All enacted bills and adopted regulations are assigned to one or more alcohol-related policy areas (using the Alcohol Policy Classification System developed for APIS). Site users may search for bills and/or regulations by jurisdiction, year, alcohol policy area(s), and other dimensions. APIS has been developed by The CDM Group, Inc., under contract to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (Contract No. N01AA12009). Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation and UrbanPlanet, LLC, are major subcontractors. APIS has built on and benefited from work initiated by the University of Minnesota's Alcohol Epidemiology Program, under the direction of Prof. Alexander C. Wagenaar, with funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Additional features will be added to the APIS Web site over time. Suggestions from researchers and others are welcome, as is information on any problems that site users may encounter while using the APIS Web site.
The NIAAA database, Alcohol Policy Information System, has developed a Cannabis Policy Taxonomy in preparation for legal analysis of these policies. As a first step in the planned expansion into legal data analysis of recreational use of cannabis, APIS staff developed the Cannabis Policy Taxonomy (CPT). The CPT provides an inventory and taxonomy of cannabis policies, and is organized in policy areas under nine broad categories. Researchers, especially those new to the cannabis policy field, can examine the CPT to gain an appreciation of the nature and scope of cannabis policies and the specific issues these policies address.
This database contains information on over 350 journals, newsletters, and monograph series in the field of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. It includes both active publications and those that have ceased publication, but may be of archival interest. On the main ATOD Serials page, users will find Quick Links to peer-reviewed journals, non-English serials, serials that are free online, and serials grouped by Focus Areas such as Treatment, Policy, and Social Sciences. An advanced-search option allows users to combine their own search criteria. In it's debut, the database identifies 3 SALIS Libraries that own copies of cited serial titles, and we hope to add the ATOD journal holdings for additional SALIS libraries. The database was developed by SALIS members from the University of Washington Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute Library.

Trinkets and Trash: Artifacts of the Tobacco Epidemic

Family pet had great life
By Tim Robinson
For some years the image of losing him flashed across my mind. How would I handle his death. Would a hawk swoop down and grab him out of the yard. Would he fight a raccoon under the deck? Would the vet tell me his quality of life was so impaired that prolonging his pain was cruel?
Sure, he had arthritis in his hip. They get that in their teens (human years make it 90+). He had a failing kidney and there were some thyroid issues according to Dr. Driscoll. Her tender manner assured me Climber could be treated with meds and even improve but it would take time. He was almost 18. His teeth and gums were okay but needed some extra care. She gave me a toothbrush.
The medicine is tricky. Just the right dose is critical. Too little and he won't improve. Too much and we get other problems. His exams were good following the prescribed regimen.
"Clymo", a nickname for Climber because he was the only cat in the litter box to make it out into the waiting hands of my seven-year old that day in 1993. "Can we keep him dad", my son asked. My instincts said no but my heart and that little kid look he gave me said yes. We drove home with a family pet. The first and yet today, the only pet we've ever had .
Odd or even. With two sons it was difficult for them to decide who would get to cuddle with the kitty each night. They fought over the "dibs" and "first call" rights.
It usually ended in one child trying to strangle the other. Our oldest son was 10 or so and pretty good at math. He was also perceptive. He knew that his birthday landed on an even numbered date and that his younger brother's birthday was odd numbered. So it was. Each kid would get to have Climber in their room on the even or odd numbered nights.
What a concept. Except it did not work after about two months. There were sleep-overs and times away at a camp. Oldest son figured that it was unfair because younger brother would get the cat on the days he was gone. Those even numbered days. It would create an imbalance in sharing. He went further. He noted that the calendar has more odd numbered days than even except on Leap Year. The point being the first day of the year is odd as is the last day of the year. Add that to the four months with only 30 days and you've created a mathematical nightmare of record keeping.
Maybe it was common sense and maybe it was the cat himself. Once either kid was asleep Climber was free to roam around the house. After all, he was a cat and cats do much better at night.
I thought about the nine lives from time to time. Clymo was four months old. He went missing for a week. We did the usual things. Posted flyers with his picture on the neighborhood mail stands. Asked around and prayed he would show up. 10 nervous days later a neighbor noticed our flyer. It was a chance occurrence. He thought he saw some kids up around the block cuddling an orange tabby like it was new to them.
I visited the house and inquired about a new cat. "yes",they said they were surprised to find him in the woods two days previous. I politely explained it was our family pet and thanked them. They graciously handed Clymo to me, tho I could tell they were disappointed not to be able to keep him.
My thought? How did a four month old cat survive in the woods for eight days? He had to fend off raccoons and other varmints. Not yet fully grown or wise to the ways of the wilderness, he somehow managed to make it through. We were delighted with his return.
At Christmas, as a gift we think, Clymo presented us with a crow on our porch. The bird was bigger than he was at six months of age. We would have asked him how he accomplished this but we did not speak "cat" at the time.
Early on I learned that Tom Cats can be difficult to manage. That neutering was an option to keep them home more. The advice was to neuter a cat at 8 months of age. Late enough in maturity and early enough to prevent Tom Catting.
It seemed to work. Clymo, already a pretty mellow kitty, remained that way throughout his life. His natural fear of dogs did not cross over to humans. Any person who visited was greeted by Clymo. He could be picked up and cuddled without a struggle. No claws, no hiss, no fleas, just a beautiful trusting feline.
The usual mice, shrews, small birds and assorted animal life appeared on our porch over the ensuing years. Clymo even cornered a Hedgehog. It may have been someone's pet. We did not know. We let it go in the woods.
More and more Clymo endeared himself to us. His nocturnal path through the house usually ended with some scratching at our bedroom door. Mostly to drink water from a small cup. He wasn't all that thirsty. It was just more his routine. A safety net of access for survival. Two minutes later he was drinking from another bowl in a different room.
He may have been the most quiet cat. Rarely did he meow until he began aging. At 17 he learned a new trick. No scratching at the bottom of the door. He began vocalizing he needs. A fairly consistent cry for action. Otherwise he remained quiet and contented. Oh, he did shred a few newspapers from time to time. Maybe he was bored. We would find yesterday's news and once in awhile the kids' homework nicely chewed and shredded on the rug in the morning. The kids were delighted as it gave them a perfect excuse.
For years I would walk from my car to the mail box. Clymo followed as if there was something for him. He needed little coaxing to come with me. Often I would carry him on my shoulders, place him on the wood shakes that covered the mail boxes. He seemed to like that, digging his claws into the soft cedar. He would walk the 9 feet to the end of the row and allow me to pick him up for the shoulder ride back to the house, never once attempting to jump down.
We never measured but we think he was an indoor cat with outdoor privileges. We did have a cat box. The one in the garage was simply never used. At least not until he was close to 17. Like many other cats on our block , he used the garden beds, politely covering his business. He sprayed his territory each daily outing, noting when other cats had been present during his absence.
At 18 we noticed the change. Rather a friend noticed Clymo could use a medical check. A cat lover herself, she volunteered to have Clymo seen by a vet. I had been pretty good about annual checkups and shots but Clymo had never had a complete physical evaluation. We learned he had the kidney issue many older cats get. He needed a tooth extracted and maybe some breath freshener. That did not surprise me since he ate a lot fish; I just expected him to have bad breath.
We had Dr. Driscoll pull a tooth. He was good to go. He just needed those meds to keep his thyroid in check. At 19 yrs we had celebrated each year with delight over how he enriched our lives.
He was due for his annual exam in two weeks. He no longer jumped in our laps, often needed to be picked up to get to his night bed on the window sill. He never complained.
Other times he napped in our laps or on the rug. He struggled with his arthritis. He hips would dip down if you touched his tail. His back legs were a bit unsteady when he circled his nap zone. He did not run but moved okay once he got moving. Dr. Driscoll said he was almost 100 in human years and doing pretty good.
Each night we opened the front door when we came home. Clymo stood near the door. He'd recognize the purr of the engine as we pulled in. He was ready to go out. Looking out the window all day can be frustrating with so many chances to chase mice or minutiae, even if it was only in his mind by then.
Clymo's routine was the same. He wandered from car to car, lamp post to lamp post, inspecting, sniffing and sometimes spraying to assure the other cats he was still master of his domain.
Tuesday night was like any other night. Dry and cool tho it had rained earlier in the day.
I came through the door, looking for him. I checked the garage and moved his food dish for easy access. I guess I figured he was downstairs, asleep by the fireplace. I didn't worry. That was common too.
A neighbor came to the door a bit later. He announced that he thought he's run over Clymo with his car. I simply did not believe him as I had not seen him go out. But it was true.
Like other cats, Clymo liked to hunker down under cars, sometimes for warmth but mostly, I think, for cover. He liked paper bags for the same reason.
I found him suffering on the street. Legs outstretched, trying to get up. He did not last long, maybe a minute at most. I petted him, told him I was sorry and watched him shudder and give up.
I was devastated and in shock. I picked him up and walked back to the house. I consoled the neighbor explaining it was not his fault and thanked him for coming to our door.
I surmised that Clymo had camped under his car for the previous reasons that he has camped under cars. He had probably done it a thousand times and escaped when the engine started. Only this time he simply could not move fast enough. He likely made it half way, getting clipped by the tires of the car as it rolled into the street.
My own grief came with the need to tell my two sons and my wife that the only pet they've ever known was gone at 19 yrs and 8 months.
There is no remedy to salve our wounds except time. He was old, we told ourselves. He might have needed euthanasia in a year or he might have wandered back into the woods as some animals do when they get sick.
We might have lost him years before to a car or truck or to some malady. We loved him. It will take time, we know. What we do now is use the time to recall fondly those moments when he showed us he loved us too.

Hello, Guys!
Something fantastic happened today, I have to share with You. I think, You would appreciate.
So, today my mother's aunt visited us (she lives in Austria since 1987). It was a really nice family reunion, and my mom put a paper box on the table, which was full of old family photos, letters, etc. There I found a postcard from my grandparents. They somehow managed to travel to Western Europe in the first years of the eighties. Communist Romania was a closed country, common people were not allowed to travel abroad, only once in 5-10 years (we should not see how the western people live), so it was a really-really big deal. Because of this, my grandparents send us a lot of postcards from their trip. And here we go: I found a postcard, which was adressed to me. It was written in 1983, I was 2 years old that time. I found my grandmother's handwriting on it (I adored her, she passed in 1996, I miss her really much even today). It was the only postcard, adressed to me. The first two lines are: "My baby, look at these beautiful cars over here..." And, on the photo there was the cathedral of Münster (West Germany at the time), and in front of the cathedral there was a CADILLAC SEVILLE! Just like mine, off course, from the previous generation. But still a Seville! You have to understand, these cars are extremely rare here. It is not a VW Golf or Opel Astra, what can be found at every corner. I think, there are not more than 100-150 Sevilles in the whole Europe from those generations. And I just found a postcard from my late grandmother, written 1983, in the worst years of a horrible dictatorship, about the beautiful cars of West Germany. And there is, in the center of the picture the car, which I bought almost 20 years later!
I do not believe in luck, I think everything happens for a reason. This strange moment just strengthened that belief. And I almost heard my grandparents voice from the past, from the skies. It was a heartbreaking moment. Sorry for the long post, but I had to share with You.. :-)

|st: RE: -factor pcf- vs -pca- (was factor score postestimation)
|Sun, 11 Sep 2005 17:05:46 +0100
You are asking me to describe a minefield. Many people regard PCA as a transformation procedure, as no error term and thus no model is involved. Given the choice of either correlation or covariance matrix, results are eigenvectors, eigenvalues and other properties of that matrix, with (in a sense) no statistical arguments being used at all. Conversely, FA is most usually regarded as a modelling technique. Its invocation of latent variables is regarded as its worst and its best feature, depending on tribal attitudes. In many fields, one is regarded as wonderful or at least useful, and the other is regarded as misguided if not pernicious. But there is a large literature on this. Standard texts include those by Jolliffe and Jackson. In my opinion, any text that does _not_ explain that the choice between PCA and FA is controversial is likely to be too elementary to be worth your time. Originally in Stata, meaning from version 2.1, PCA was just obtainable through -factor- as a special case. The bifurcation of -factor- into -factor- and -pca- in version 8 was partly based on a recognition that many people want principal components without any of the latent modelling excrescences. Whenever I use PCA it is often to help choose predictors for a regression, but the PCA is just a means to an end, and not necessarily mentioned in the full report, but pretty much the same information is given in a correlation or scatter plot matrix, which can be much more transparent. Nick email@example.com Garrard, Wendy M. > Thanks very much. The "predict" is just what I needed.

window measurement for shutters
Im measuring for plantation shutters for my home. i am finding that the measurements for one window has a length delta of almost 1/2 inch. In other words if i measure the inner right side of the window i measured 54". Inner left 54.5". When ordering my shutters do i measure with 54" length or 54.5" length?
Please advise. I would think the obvious answer is to measure with 54" length but then im a 1/2 inch short on one side.
Any tips on how to measure windows for installing plantation shutters for inside mount?
I assume that you are reasonably handy if you intend to install such things. What do you think about trimming shutters to fit? Do you think you would notice shutters that are slightly out of square? Do you live in some historic neigborhood where everything is already crooked, anyhow?
Are your shutters primarily going to be open or will they routinely be closed? If mostly open, I would probably opt for 54" shutters and leave as-is to avoid the out-of-square look. The 1/2" gap when occasionally closed would be no big deal to me. If the function of the shutters is a bigger priority than visual, then buy them 54-1/2 and trim to fit.
oberkc is right. Have you considered a cardboard template when you install them?

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 123 reviews
The rooms are too small so the bathrooms as well. It's too expensive for what you pay for.
Rooms are too small and can't be for more than one person. If you plan to stay in one of the rooms with others like family or friends, then you better look for another hotel. Also the breakfast is not included so you have to pay around Eru 12.
Wonderful boutique hotel with amazingly attentive staff. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
Perfect location. Good services. We went to Paris in July but it was only at 12C. Heat was controlled at hotel level for winters but front desk gave us a small portable heater.
It was nice place to enjoy sightseeing and restaurants in Paris

Regular readers will know that we've already seen most of Panasonic's ground-breaking VT20 3D plasma TVs. But the one that's slipped through the cracks has the potential, in our opinion, to be the most popular model of all.
That model is the TX-P46VT20: arguably the perfect combination of an easily manageable but still large 46in screen size with a reasonably approachable £1,550 price tag. This makes it a good £250 cheaper than the 50in VT20 - a substantial saving for the sake of 4in of picture.
Given how impressed we've been by previous VT20 TVs, the P46VT20 clearly arrives with some excellent heritage. However, it's also the first Panasonic 3D TV we've tested in the wake of all the new 3D tech on show at the CES, so with some of that CES 3D tech due to emerge here in the next month or so, we're intrigued to see if the VT20 series still impresses us as much as it once did.
It certainly doesn't get off to a great start. For if anything the P46VT20's well-built but dour aesthetics look even less glamorous than they used to now that we've seen the upcoming, ultra-sleek 2011 designs from the likes of Samsung and LG. Panasonic appears to believe that its target audience is by its nature conservative - but we're not sure this is true. Especially when you're talking about the early adopter market likely to be buying a 3D TV already.
Anyway, the P46VT20's rear is actually more attractive, at least to the extent that it has pretty much all the connections you could hope for. Four HDMIs provide inputs for HD and full HD, active 3D signals; two USB inputs allow you to play back photo, video or music files from USB devices and/or make the TV Wi-Fi ready via an included dongle; an SD card slot provides an additional direct way of playing back photos, music and video files (including DivX HD); an Ethernet port permits wired access to DLNA PC files or Panasonic's Viera Cast service; plus you get a satellite connection as well as an RF input, reflecting the fact that the P46VT20 has a built-in Freesat HD tuner as well as a Freeview HD one.
This is, of course, very handy for people living in areas not yet served by Freeview HD, and in fact it's a policy that other brands are adopting too with their upcoming 2011 ranges. One last trick to do with the P46VT20's connections is the ability to record from the HD tuners to USB storage devices. Or to be more precise, Buffalo JustStore HD-EU2-UK USB storage devices. We're sincerely hoping Panasonic broadens its compatibility 'church' where USB recording devices are concerned if the recording feature persists through the brand's 2011 range (kicking off in March).
The plasma screen driving the P46VT20 is the best Panasonic currently has to offer outside of its 'pro' business, using the latest iteration of Panasonic's NeoPDP technology together with an Infinite Black Pro filter not found on sets further down Panasonic's range. Plus you get Panasonic's 'fast-decay' technology for reducing that dreaded active 3D phenomenon of crosstalk (double ghosting) noise.
Good review. I have the PV0VT20 and I concur with everything in this review. The 2D (especially in HD) image is the best I've seen on any TV in this price band. I agree with the comments about the glasses - they are the weakest point. I hope Panasonic improve them going forward - holding your head in the right position for 2 hours can be a pain (literally).
Agreed - good review, thanks. I know it's a matter of personal taste but I find it curious TR regularly critisizes the Panny set design, I happen to like it. I tend to think anything "fashionably smart" tends to look "unfashionably out of date" 2 yrs later. For a mobile phone no problem, I'm buying a new one then. I tend to keep expensive TVs like this 5 yrs so understated suits me fine, but there again I also love Thinkpad design.
One other point. I don't own this set, but having tested a pair of Panny 3D glasses in a shop I was grateful for the open sides. I wear spectacles and it seemed to make the 3D glasses sit in front of my normal specs much easier. No argument with the narrow lens point though. Cheers.
Great and honest review, which means I will definitely not buying a new telly any time soon. Anyone know when or if there will be a 2011 range update for Panasonic plasmas? and if so will they address any of the following?
1) Aesthetic appearance of the range.
2) Update the panel technology to finally reproduce / improve on the black levels / picture quality last seen on the mighty Kuro
3) Update their 3D technology and hopefully their uncomfortable glasses
Forget about 3D and buy the TV now, dont let tech journo's drag you into the 'next big storm' its a TV and a very well connected one for all your multimedia needs. I bought one for its HD 2d performance alone, I think I tried the glasses once out or curiosity, and sold the blu-rays on ebay, i might sell the free blu-ray player I git whith it too! should bring the price down by at least 200 squids making the tv around the £1300 mark - whats not to like!
Well I find myself in a bad place with Panasonic TV's. I presently own 3 and was planning on replacing my 50" panel this year with a 2011 larger model. My first 2 panels are perfect, but...
My most recent panel, a 42" G20 Buzzes. Not just normal low plasma noise, but a slightly higher pitched noise that "echos" in the small space it is in. Because it's a higher pitched noise I can hear it above any normal sound levels and is distracting during most of the TV I watch.
Panasonic have had the TV at their service center are are saying :-
1) It's within tolerances - so bad luck
2) This isn't a known issue.
Well. 1) Tolerances must be very high. 2) Just doing a fast google shows that this is a widely known issue.
So I'm going to have to sell the TV at a huge loss and can really never consider a Panasonic Plasma again. This is really gutting.!
@AJ, I suggest a letter to the company director. I bet you would lose more selling it on than paying for new gubbins to really get it sorted. The fact you are a multi TV buyer from Panny should serve you well. Dont give up after being fobbed off by Panny service - make some noise!
Thank you for the review.
Any plans to start including power consumption figures when you review these sets? Perhaps you could play a scene from a specific Blu-ray and then record the power consumption with a kill-a-watt or similar device. I suppose you'd have to calibrate each set first as well. At any rate, I, and possibly many others, would find this information very useful.
@Lamboy. Appreciate the idea, but I've already spent ages writing to Panasonic, calling them (took 3 weeks to get through as they were so busy in the new year) and then been through the whole deal with the service guys - who were excellent.
Hardcore Panasonic customer or not I really can't see them giving me any preferential service. I'm just another number in the system unfortunately.
The service centre have replaced my power supply already, but that seemed to make no difference at all.
The noise sounds small in a big room and I guess if this were in a large front room then Panasonic may well be right about it being not that intrusive. However in a smaller space the noise is audible above almost all TV. Because the noise is high pitched it's far more annoying than a small plasma "hum".
I also seem to be more susceptible to this high-pitched noise than others. It doesn't bother my girlfriend half as much as me. I guess I'm also a perfectionist and the fact I paid so much for "premium" TV and then have this issue grates as much as the noise.
In comparison my other 2 (2 and 3 years old) Panny Plasmas are absolutely and totally silent. There's not even a whisper from them with the sound off and your ear flat against the screen. Older panels, both perfect.
Not sure I can be bothered to do any more. It's already cost me time working from home to let people in and out and a lot of hassle calling, explaining, starting again and again.
I think it's time now to walk away from Plasma and get an LCD that shouldn't have this issue. Unfortunately Panasonic lose a customer for their Plasmas and I won't be buying on of their new 54" models in Spring, but I doubt they'll care too much.
All still a bit gutting though. Have loved my Plasmas since the first one I bought almost 10 years ago.
All seems good from this review.......but not quite so good at thia review
would the trusted reviews reviewer comment
also has anyone tried PS3 games on this TV the hdtvtest review notes large 41 ms lag
@Simon J:
To answer your questions, yes, Panasonic do have a new 2011 range, going from top to bottom.
1) The aesthetics will be a HUGE improvement, with the top-end plasmas featuring a 'borderless screen' (i.e. with a single sheet of glass across the entire front) a la LG's top-end models.
2) Going by specifications, contrast/black levels should indeed be slightly improved, but we'll see how they hold up.
3) 3D will now be featured across most of their models, so hopefully the glasses will have been improved and most of the kinks ironed out. :)
excellent TV, the reduction in brightness using the 3D glasses makes the picture cinematic. contrast & colour details are outstanding. i wouldl like to know if plasma tv losses their picture quality with time?
I have this TV and it's really great. Shame there's only one 3D channel and most programmes on it are pay-per-view! Extra 3D glasses are very expensive...

There will always be new browsers, there will always be new versions of those browsers and with it there will always be bugs in the implementation of those browsers and how they interpret web standards.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. A kamikaze is a warrior or a soldier that kills himself for honour. What a kamikaze does is kill himself and in the process kill all surrounding people. This makes him die a martyr and thus a hero. The most famous kamikaze appeared during the Second World War. Pilots of the Empire of Japan would volunteer to crash their planes into US ships. Kamikazes still exist to this day but their methods have changed, now using explosives, commonly known as suicide bombers.Video games that portray World War II sometimes have kamikazes. The latest depiction of this was in Activision's Call of Duty: World at War where the player had to defend US ships from incoming Japanese planes. Some enemies in games just blow up by nature inflicting massive damage like Tickers in Gears of War 2 or the ubiquitous Creepers from Minecraft. Many RTS games feature kamikaze units, such as the Suicide Grunt squad from Halo Wars, or the Banelings from StarCraft II.In some multiplayer games, the player can commit suicide to rack up kills. This became popular with the javelin glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which allowed a player to take out several enemy players in exchange for themselves dying once, thus increasing their K/D ratio and scoring artificially high. Cheating like this, of course, is universally looked down upon, and can even get you banned. Very few games ask you to directly play as a kamikaze and blow yourself up.

We get a briefing from our pilot and are each given a pair of waders to wear though out our day. We have to be in the water getting off the plane, and we travel across the tundra and some mud along the way so it was easier than getting your feet wet and cold.
Where we land is part of the Katmai National Park across from Kodiak Island. We see the start of the Aleutian Mountain Range as we go. And, even a couple of volcanoes one of which is still steaming
All in all we thing we have seen somewhere between 20 - 25 bears. We see several sows with cubs, both twins and triplets! It is soooooo cool to see those cute faces! Some of these bears are huge! They tell us that we are not a threat and since they have so much food right now, they are not interested in us (where have I heard THAT before)...But it turns out they could care less, even the ones on the hill playing see us, but can't be bothered.
We move 4 times and our last move is later in the day and we go around the bend of the river and this is where we see the cubs. About 9 in all by 4 different moms.
As you know, I have more bear photos, maybe that needs to be my second book!!! Hmm.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
What a great showing of wildlife photography! Thanks for doing all the"legwork" while I sit comfortably on my couch!
We are enjoying your blog. Your pictures are fantastic! They are so creative and makes it seem like we are traveling right along with you. Hope you can make it to the Booth's wedding. It would be fun to connect with you guys again.
You have a future in travel books and brochures Miss Sandy. Maybe your current tour group will hire you :)

Dexter: it makes me laugh. Photograph: FX
Dexter - the FX series about a police forensics expert by day and murderous vigilante by night - has ruffled some of the Guardian's finest feathers.
Lucy Mangan called it "vile" and wondered whether we were all "as brutal and misogynistic as the writers ... as numb and sick in the head as their creation". Charlie Brooker called it "preposterous" and seemed disappointed it wasn't nearly dark enough.
Personally, I'd say its barrage of knowing one-liners make Dexter primarily a comedy. As the eponymous serial killer, Michael C Hall's voiceover has a mordant wit familiar from works of droll Grand Guignol such as American Psycho and A Clockwork Orange. In daylight, he observed, Miami's homicides look staged: "It's like you're in a new and daring section of Disneyworld. Dahmerland!"
As with Six Feet Under and Desperate Housewives, everything is so heavily stylised, the emphasis is on irony rather than realism. "Normal people are so hostile !" he sighed, watching diners hammering open crab shells. And his girlfriend Rita - whose husband abused her - is perfect, he said, "because she's as damaged as I am".
With Dexter's pursuit of The Ice Truck Killer ("No blood! What a beautiful idea!"), the programme has developed a camp tone, that is almost homoerotic. When police discovered a victim's fingertips artistically splayed in a block of ice - her nails the identical individual colours of the doll's fingers Dexter found in his freezer - he gushed, "I think he's trying to impress me. And it's working!"
Sunday's episode concluded with a pile of body parts wrapped in brown paper arranged in the goal of the Miami Blades ice hockey stadium.
"What do you think he's trying to tell us?" one detective asked.
"That hockey's a violent sport?" Dexter posited. Well it made me laugh.

Bonds, stocks, treasury yields, currencies and gold are the investments that typically occupy the headlines of the business pages and financial websites!
But there are other trading and investment vehicles hiding behind the scenes in the shadows of the financial world that dwarf these markets and that have the potential to wreak havoc on your money.
They are called derivatives and in the interest rate arena alone there are $441 trillion in bets outstanding around the globe (Read 'Derivatives 101 through the prism of a beer hall!' here).
And sharp moves in rates, like the one we have experienced the last month or so, are not likely factored into the models created by the highly paid MIT quants who create the derivatives contracts.
The result, if this degree of volatility persists, could be losses on a mammoth scale.
This spike in interest rates is one of the many potential unintended consequences that could occur due to the huge amount of money that has been printed by the U.S. government along with the artificially low level of interest rates that has been engineered by the Federal Reserve's Ben Bernanke.
All in the name of improving the economy and creating jobs with the jury still out on whether or not the effort has born any real fruit.
There's an excellent article at The Economic Collapse blog that explains it in understandable detail.
The 441 TRILLION Dollar Interest Rate Derivatives Time Bomb

More than $1 million of taxpayers' money has been paid to people injured by fireworks in the past three years, despite a law change restricting sales before Guy Fawkes' Day.
The Government may consider further tightening the rules covering the sale of fireworks if people don't act responsibly and safely this weekend.
Figures released to the Herald by ACC show that between July 2008 and June this year, $1,023,351 was paid to people who lodged claims for fireworks-related injuries.
Burns were 69 per cent of the injuries in the 2008/09 financial year, 72 per cent in 2009/10 and fell to 64 per cent in the year ending June 30.
There were 286 new claims made in 2008/09, 310 in 2009/10 and 275 in the last financial year.
In 2007 the law on buying fireworks was tightened, limiting sales to the four days before Guy Fawkes' Day on November 5 and raising the legal purchasing age to 18.
ACC Minister Nick Smith said that as a result of that law change, fireworks-related claims had dropped by 40 per cent. In 2007, 461 people were injured, compared with 275 after the new rules came into force.
"That is welcomed but 275 injuries are still too many," Dr Smith said yesterday. "The Government will be monitoring this year's Guy Fawkes and incidents carefully.
"We want people to be able to enjoy the festivities but minimise the risks of fire, injury and danger to pets. Any noticeable increase in harm and irresponsible behaviour will result in regulations being further tightened."
Fire Service national commander Mike Hall said that in 2005 and 2006 crews responded to twice as many emergency calls as usual in the 10 days that fireworks were on sale.
"In the last few years, the only noticeable increase of calls has been on the night that the event is celebrated - usually the Saturday closest to 5 November," he said.
Guy Fawkes' Day falls on Saturday and public fireworks displays are being held around the country.
About 1135 tonnes of fireworks have been imported into New Zealand this year, up slightly from the 1116 tonnes that arrived last year.
Mr Hall said fewer people were buying fireworks, preferring to enjoy the public displays - something the Fire Service encouraged.
"For those that still prefer to buy their own, the usual warnings apply - use a torch to read and follow the instructions on fireworks before using them, never attempt to relight a firework that hasn't gone off and always keep a bucket of water or a hose handy," he said.
"Fireworks are noisy so consider your neighbours and pets when letting them off, and never point them at people."
Dr Smith also pushed the safety message, saying: "I want people to enjoy Guy Fawkes and fireworks but to do so responsibly to avoid injury, damage to property and harm to animals.
"I particularly want to encourage people to attend professional public displays that carry the least risk."

SEOUL, South Korea – Leejaedi Productions has been looking around K-Pop sites around the web and found that one of the most popular sites is Allkpop.
But since we are currently hosting a Big Bang poll, we found this interesting to post here.
This article is posted in Allkpop so all the credits go to them.
Big Bang Orgy DVD
18 Mar 2008 – 09:36 AMRecently, Big Bang released a concert compilation DVD with some behind the ass scenes footage.
From attending Transgender Strip Show's, stating their love for TVXQ's Junsu, and other abnormalities in their behavior, we always knew Big Bang was very angular.
The photograph's below, show Big Bang members in all their glory.
G-Dragon extremely anxious and excited for the upcoming festivities.
G-Dragon giving it to Seung Ri, using his master technique, "standing doggy style." (a background observer enjoying the show).
Seung Ri returning the oh-so-pleasurable favor to G-Dragon.
G-Dragon cheats on Seung Ri, with Dae Sung, this time using his super special technique, Dragon Style.
Dae Sung crying, because the Dragon Style was a bit too rough on his hole.
TOP & Tae Yang getting kinky as furries.
Tae Yang didn't miss out on the action, as you can see he is all sweaty from his special workout.

You may have found this post vulgar and rated x but we can't do anything about this. We just posted what they had posted and we have no right to modify this content.
This article was posted a long long time ago. Leejaedi Productions isn't a Big Bang Fansite so we can't judge the writer or the Big Bang members themselves.
Allkpop and Leejaedi Productions aren't related in any ways but we are planning to add them to our Influences list.
Do you think Allkpop is Anti-Big Bang? Share your thoughts.
(Allkpop posted many things about Big Bang, so don't think that this is the one and only post they have for the said group)

ResultsUniversity of Cincinnati senior pole vaulter Josh Dangel shined in the spotlight at the 2014 Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nev. as he tied a career-best height to win the College Division on Saturday. Dangel impressed all at the Pole Vault Summit by winning the College Division and tying his career-best height of 17' 8.5", which he set during the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. He now moves into second on UC's all-time list just half an inch behind Chris Smith, who set the school record at 17' 9" in 2005. Since the meet was not an NCAA sanctioned event, his mark will not count towards qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championships or the American Athletic Conference Championships. Currently, Dangel ranks 15th in the NCAA with an official clearance of 17' 3.75". If his mark from the Pole Vault Summit would have counted, he would be ranked seventh in the NCAA. Dangel and the rest of the Bearcats are back in action next weekend as they head to the Rod McCravy Invitational in Lexington, Ky.

Simon Says….
Democratic District Leader, 23rd A.D. Part B
From the Desk of Lew M. Simon,
Democratic District Leader, 23rd A.D. Part B
There are still seats available on the Atlantic City bus trip this Saturday, February 8, to Trump Marina. We leave at 5:30 p.m. and return at 8 p.m. The cost is $28 with $17 returned. We serve bagels and cream cheese courtesy of Rockaway Bagels. Movies are shown. We have 8 1/2 hours to enjoy while others have 6 hours. You have enough time to see a show and dine. Call 945-121 for reservations. The next trip will be Saturday, March 8.
Monday afternoon Chancellor Joel Klein made his 10 appointments of regional superintendents. We will be part of Division 5, which will include 101 elementary, middle and high schools serving over 100,000 students. 83% are Black or Hispanic.
Newly appointed Dr. Kathleen Cashin is now serving as Superintendent of District 23 in Brooklyn. She is no stranger to education. She worked as a classroom teacher, supervisor, principal and superintendent. We understand from staff in District 23 that she is an excellent administrator, with a wonderful personality and a hands-on approach. She is one who likes to reach out to all parents, civic leaders and elected officials.
We understand we have been blessed with someone who really cares about our children. Her dedication and devotion in Ocean Hill Brownsville have made a difference in the reading and math scores in her district. We send out best wishes and congratulations. We will be reaching out to introduce myself in the next couple of days and letting her know we wish to help in any way we can.
We are saddened to lose our current superintendent Matt Bromme, whose last day in the district will be Friday, February 28. Effective March 1, Bromme will be senior manager for the Deputy Chancellor of Operations, a large promotion for a great individual. The main duties of his job will be in charge of zoning for all city schools, variances, high school applications and admissions and carrying out the federal "No Child Left Behind Law". How ironic Mr. Bromme will have something to do with zoning as they are currently rezoning part of District 27.
The loss of our superintendent, Matt Bromme, has upset many of us. His open door policy, prompt responses and his availability to attend all community, civic, political and fraternal organization made him in my words the most accessible school superintendent we've had in a long time. With the exit of Matt Bromme on March 1, someone will be appointed as temporary administrator of District 27 until July 1. We wonder what will happen to Deputy Superintendents Martin Weinstein and Michelle Lloyd-Bey. Will one or both lead the district until July 1? What will happen to them after July 1?
The Bromme administration had a great team together with Weinstein, Lloyd-Bey, Rose Molinelli, Ginay Marks, Martin Barr, Phyllis Greenberg and many others who made a difference to improve our district. What will happen to this great team?
What changes are in store for our district? What will happen to the future education of our children especially in light of the governor's proposed budget cuts? Our children are our most important asset. We urge everyone to send a letter to Governor George Pataki and let him know that education cannot afford another cut. The governor must find a way to increase aid to education. The governor's address is The Executive Chamber, Capitol, Albany, New York 12224.
The consolidation of educational control is expected to make some dollars available for the classrooms. Budget cuts must not be allowed to eat up these gains and further reduce the available funds. The public school system as it now stands is lacking in science, art and music. Our schools must prepare our children for any career they choose, as well as prepare our children to compete with children in the suburbs and even in foreign countries.
Membership in the Good Government Regular Democratic club is one way to play an active role in improving your community. Dues are $25 for a family, $18 single and $12 for seniors. Send your check to the club at 112-20 Beach Channel Dr., Rockaway Park, NY 11694.
We have received numerous calls from concerned residents on Newport Avenue who have frozen pipes and no running water. This is due to the DDC project that is being done by Diamond Asphalt Corp. The streets are below level and the pipes froze. Several families have been hooked up to hydrants for water. It's time for them to cover the pipes properly and pave the streets so the pipes do not freeze over.
Saturday morning we received a phone call from Ginger Smith. She said an abandoned house around the corner, 118-07 Rockaway Beach Blvd., had broken water pipes and water was gushing out of the bricks and windows of the house. This caused a major backup in yards and basements on Beach 118 Street and Beach 119 Street. This house had been seized by the city, but now was privately owned. We immediately reached out to DEP and they responded within a few hours. Many of the neighbors are very upset because of the damage to their property.
We are saddened by the loss of the Columbia astronauts who were killed Saturday morning. Just a week ago many teachers were discussing the loss of the first schoolteacher in space, Christa McAuliffe. My heart goes out to the families.
I would like to invite all of you to give you a chance to meet, greet and
question our new Superintendent, Dr. Kathleen Cashin, right here in
Rockaway! Find out what's in store for our children, alleviate your fears
and find out what the future holds for our children. Please come to the
Good Government Regular Democratic Club, 112-10 Beach Channel Dr. (across from Waldbaum's Parking Lot) at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, February 13.

Broccoli Parmesan RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 5 7
Jessie Sarrazin of Livingston, Montana shares her oh-so-easy side dish that goes great with almost any entrée. Use less basil for a subtle flavor, and more for a stronger Italian taste.

- 1 medium bunch broccoli (1-1/2 pounds), cut into spears
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- In a large saucepan, bring broccoli and broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in basil and pepper. Drain broccoli and place in a serving bowl; add onion mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 6 servings.

Amy Poehler knows how to turn Emmy lemons into party lemonade!
The nine-time Emmy loser threw an Emmys Party Loser Lounge bash with 11-time loser Jon Hamm following Sunday's ceremony, and Access Hollywood caught up with the actress to get the dirt on the silly soiree.
"It was a lot of fun," Amy told Access at the Los Angeles premiere of her new comedic film, "A.C.O.D.," on Thursday.
PHOTOS: Funny Ladies! The Glorious Women Of TV Comedy
The Losers Lounge, which was reportedly attended by stars including Jimmy Kimmel, Elisabeth Moss, January Jones and more, required that Emmy winners pay an entrance fee (as the party was strictly for losers).
"We made the winners pay to get in. We celebrated all the great losers of the evening," Amy said, noting the money raised will go to charity.

"We raised $25,000 for WWO - the Worldwide Orphans Foundation which is an organization that I work with, so it was a really great night," she said.
And the "Parks and Recreation" star is keeping her lips sealed when it comes to what went down inside the party.
When asked if there were any fun moments at the bash, she replied, "None that I can [share]!"

Volunteer of the Month - September 2011
September 2011 - Arelys Sosa
This month we recognize Arelys Sosa's dedication and commitment to the Integrated Women's Mentorship Program. This program aims to help professional refugee/immigrant women overcome barriers to employment through the provision of information and skill-building workshops and the establishment of mentoring partnership. Arelys has been an active participant in training and activities for the program and is a great role model for our mentees.
Arelys Sosa was born in Cuba and arrived in Calgary in April 2009. Soon after, Arelys started the process of obtaining her Professional Engineer designation with APEGGA and accomplished it by April 2011 – only two years after first arriving in Calgary!
Although Arelys has been working with ISC as a mentor for only a semester, we have known her for over a year since she started as a client and has recently signed as a mentor. Arelys has said, "It was important to share both my experience and the lessons learned, that's why I approached the program to be considered as a mentor to be able to enlighten and show the path the same way that it has been previously done with me." She found it important to try and break down misconceptions that exist about immigrants being unable to find a job in their field without personal connections. She believes that the skills that brought her and many other immigrants to Canada are the ones that will make them successful and valuable.
She enjoys many parts of Calgary, including bike riding in Fish Creek Park, having a picnic, visiting Midnapore Lake and Banff and she hopes one day to become a better skater. The Calgary Stampede has become an event she looks forward to participating in every year!
We thank her for her dedication to the IWM program and we are inspired by her positive attitude and her perseverance and support towards clients.

Ashley Greene
