Language of the times April 7, 2011
Japan has always been a delicate balancing act. It's a land of 127 million people, 108 active volcanoes (over half of which have erupted in the last 150 years), innumerable faultlines and 54 nuclear power plants. For decades, they have all tried to coexist in a space about the size of Germany while precariously balancing on the juncture of four tectonic plates. It's a tight fit and a tough balancing act even under the best of circumstances. Did the overconfident TEPCO really think it could outmanuever Mother Nature forever?
It gets harder and harder to write about post 3/11 Japan, harder to keep track of things, harder to make sense of anything. It's a dizzying emotional roller coaster with dizzy being the operative word. People are flocking to ear, nose and throat clinics complaining of dizziness and the feeling of experiencing an earthquake even when there is none. Doctors claim it is a short-term condition similar to motion sickness brought on by the quakes and probably exacerbated by stress. There have been over 900 aftershocks since March 11. They're all neatly chronicled at http://www.japanquakemap.com/. On the emotional roller coaster this week, the prevailing emotion is anger and a little irritation that baby boomers like myself, who never got past biology in high school, now have to challenge our ageing, fast-waning brain cells with continually evolving TV crash courses on nuclear physics. The anger comes from the lack of speedy detailed information, leadership and direction being provided to the persevering public. There are also increasing revelations of TEPCO's and the government's performance before and throughout this catastrophe. The weekly magazines have started coming out with behind-the-scenes stories now, the stuff the regular media won't touch.
The over 300 workers at the plant site are making superhuman efforts against the unpredictable monster unleashed at Fukushima. It's said 21 of them have already been exposed to over 100 millisieverts of radiation, although for this special occasion the maximum allowable has been raised to a frightening 250 millisieverts. Some workers probably don't know how much radiation they have absorbed since, at times, there have not been enough dosimeters for everyone. The media has been using the terminology of war to characterize "the battle" to regain control of the plant and it's hard not to feel these poor men are being asked to be modernday kamikaze pilots for the cause. There was one bit of good news this past weekend–the influx of international help including a team from the French company Areva and 155 members of the United States' 450-member CBIRF (Chemical, Biological Incident Response Force). It is only a tinge of hope. With thousands of tons of irradiated water discharged into the ocean, an option that was deemed the best of an array of bad options, it's hard to be too optimistic; but one's gotta hope.
The chaos of the last month has given birth to a new language of the times. Three phrases have monopolized the conversation: jishu handan, tadachi ni and soteigai. The first, jishu handan (personal choice, individual judgement), came to the fore when it was announced early on that those living in the zone between 20 and 30 km from the plant could make their own decisions about evacuation. Now, people all over Japan face their own daily decisions about how far away is safe and what to eat and drink, although the government has instructed some foods be removed from the market. The second word that keeps creeping into every TV conversation on radiation is tadachi ni. This means "immediately, right away" but is used in its negative form as in negligible levels of radiation that pose "no immediate danger or health threat." There may be no immediate danger but what about the cumulative effect should the crisis drag on for months as it probably will, although specifics on the expected duration are also scarce. How much risk does the public face in the weeks and months to come? I've read studies that predict as many as 100,000 new cancers in the region 100 to 200 km from the plant in the next ten years. Whether one cares to believe such studies or not, of course, is a matter of jishu handan. Even if the report is true, how many people will be able to attribute their illness directly to Fukushima? Radiation is an insidious, invisible foe who may wait 20 or 30 years before taking its revenge. Cancer happens. How could one unequivocably prove TEPCO the source?
Watching the TV news, it's hard not to feel the Japanese public is being spoonfed this disaster slowly in small bites. While international warnings have been clear for quite awhile, the language barrier and domestic news coverage has insulated the average Japanese from outside opinion. Some Japanese nuclear experts have become almost cavalier about the radiation, like the professor on the TV Asahi "Sunday Scramble" show last week who made an analogy between the dangers of plutonium and food poisoning. One has to listen carefully to catch pertinent fleeting remarks: a reporter noting the evacuation area eventually might have to be widened, a doctor offering his opinion, almost as an aside, that it might be best for all children up to age 15, not just babies, to avoid the slightly contaminated water. Tuesday, for the first time, a concerned TV Asahi announcer showed a graphic of the dispersion of contaminants over Tokyo, but not in color as the Internet sites do, in black and white. Having seen the color projections and done some English language reading, I've changed my shopping patterns to give a very wide berth to foods from certain regions in the wind paths from Fukushima. Many Japanese, in part encouraged by heartfelt TV celebrity pleas to support the Fukushima farmers and bargain basement prices, have not. Goodhearted consumers have been shown on TV buying up Fukushima products still on the market. Whether this is wise or not is a matter of jishu handan; although, just this morning, TV news is finally reporting significant levels of cesium in various Fukushima locations. When faced with such an ecological and health threat, it is easy to see why the public has wanted to believe the rosier, comforting "no immediate threat" view. That view has been so widely disseminated that there seems to be real surprise among many people that the nation's tourism industry (even in faroff spots like Hokkaido and western Japan) has dried up overnight. It will take time for the public to process just was has happened to them and absorb the social and economic implications of the disaster beyond the obvious blackouts and shortages. But then, what happens?
The third phrase is soteigai (beyond expectations, unforeseeable). One hears it on TV all the time, usually coming from the mouths of TEPCO officials and nuclear experts who echo the refrain that it was unforeseeable that a disaster of this magnitude could occur. Was it really? TEPCO might have been wearing blinders but Japan has had an active Citizens Nuclear Information Center watching and chronicling the problems of the nuclear industry since 1975. There have been warnings and voices of concern for years but they've been unable to get the public's full attention. The nuclear power industry has been enabled by segments of academia, the media (keen for their advertising dollars), and a public willing to believe the myths of the safety and necessity of nuclear power. Quite a few still believe. On April 10, there will be local and gubenatorial elections around Japan. In Hokkaido and Tokyo, some candidates have proposed curbing nuclear power but they are not leading in the pre-election polls. CNN reported on a small demonstration at TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo recently but I did not see that on local television. Nor did I see the news TEPCO execs were entertaining media folks when the quake occurred. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U16DMRUpiOA&NR=1. I do remember seeing some rare TV film footage of a TEPCO vice president at a Fukushima evacuees center giving those huddled on the floor a little halfhearted bow. He was definitely in need of a refresher course in proper bowing. After ruining the lives and livelihoods of so many people, it would have been more appropriate for the company top brass to all offer the ultimate dogeza apology bow (down on their hands and knees, head to the ground).
Japan is used to living with natural disasters. Japanese is the language that gave the world the words typhoon and tsunami. People are used to dealing with their losses–no matter how horrible–by picking up the pieces, rebuilding and getting on with life on this precarious balance beam called Japan. But this time, the man-made TEPCO disaster is rewriting all the old rules and presenting unimaginable new dilemmas. For solace, people are turning to celebrities and to the animal world. Over the weekend, 70,000 people visited Ueno Zoo to see the new giant pandas and the pop idol factory Johnny's Jimusho gathered 390,000 people in three days for their "Marching J" fundraising activities. Young golfing superstar Ryo Ishikawa tees off in the Masters tournament today and has promised to donate his entire year's earnings to tsunami relief. Some entertainers have been making unpublicized supply runs into the 20 and 30 km evacuation zones around Fukushima. Ironically, many in the sports and entertainment world have been showing the kind of inspiring leadership, action, concern and direction that has been so lacking from the government.
And so goes another week in this modernday version of Alice in Wonderland. Amazon has just delivered copies of Professional Blogging for Dummies and WordPress for Dummies to the rabbit hole. Time to turn off the TV. I've got a whole lot of reading to do.
The Dormouse Awakens April 14, 2011
In this week's episode of Alice in Nuclear Wonderland, the Hatter (TEPCO) and the March Hare (the government) continue dithering. Alice (the public) frets and worries, but with the utmost decorum. Meanwhile, the dormouse (the Japanese media), which the Hatter and the Hare had been using for a pillow, has finally awakened from its long slumber and is scurrying about like a prairie dog, popping its head out of the hole at unexpected moments. We can only hope our Hatter and March Hare don't take a page from the Lewis Carroll original and stick the dormouse's head in a teapot because we very much need him now.
The emotional roller coaster this week has moved along to "spooked" and "awed."
*SPOOKED by the results of a study by Kyoto and Hiroshima University professors that has detected radiation 400 times normal in some areas outside the 30 km perimeter of the Fukushima plant. The professors have been testing for eight radioactive elements, the government has released data on only two.
*SPOOKED too that Mother Nature, who is starting to act as erratically as the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, took it upon herself to spoil the solemn one month commemoration of the March 11 quake on Monday by vindictively tossing another magnitude 7 quake Fukushima's way. It caused damage, raised tsunami alerts and cut off electricity to the Fukushima plant, interrupting the cooling process for fifty tense minutes. That quake was the kickoff to a new spate of increasingly shallower quakes which carried over into Tuesday. The overall aftershock count has passed the 1,000 mark with 411 of them over magnitude five as of Wednesday. That evening the TBS early evening news also reported if Japan were to follow the Sumatra model we might even expect another magnitude eight within a few months. All of this does not make for relaxed TV viewing. Couldn't even watch a full 15 minutes of the new NHK morning soap opera "Ohi-sama" on Tuesday as they had to cut it off midway for a live report on an exceptionally big aftershock in Chiba, soon followed by a five plus quake in Nagano too. Some days it's like having a constant front row seat at a horrifying scifi movie.
Maybe Mother Nature didn't like the commemorative program shown on the April 11 edition of the afternoon talk show Information Live Miyaneya. To encourage the tsunami victims, a long parade of before and after shots of other regions of Japan that had suffered severe earthquake and tsunami damage were shown, emphasizing how they had endured, survived and rebuilt. That's all very inspiring but it may also inspire false hope in some Fukushima victims. Those cases were Mother Nature's work. The current man-made Level 7 nuclear disaster is not going away anytime soon. In a recent media survey, disaster victims were asked what they now need. The majority of Fukushima Prefecture respondents wanted more information. It is ironic that the message of minimal danger that was so well propagated during March is now backfiring on the government. Many of those in the newly proposed mandatory evacuation areas, who have been given one month to move, are balking at the prospect. Thus far denied straightforward information and without clear guidance from the government, they have been allowed to deny reality and harbor dreams of returning home to their pre-3/11 world.
*AWED at how the media dormouse has finally awakened, found its voice and is exercising it vocal chords rather loudly at times despite the chiding of the Hare and Hatter. Beyond the mere chronicling of events, the media has a job to do and the networks are finally beginning to do it with the aid of some outspoken commentators. Their performance is not yet consistent and it can sometimes be downright cringe-inducing but overall they are trying and gradually improving within the constraints of their situation. The prime minister and the government have yet to sit the nation down for a fireside chat or heartfelt national address that spells out all the challenges the nation faces and a clear vision of how to meet them. Nor has the government given the public a clear timetable or prognosis on what they can expect the best or worst outcomes to be. The news this morning that a large Chiba Prefecture agricultural concern, that has been withholding vegetables from the market voluntarily, has now pronounced its produce safe and put it back on the market underscores how much Japan now needs clearly enforceable rules, direction and vision from the highest levels of government.
Like much of Japan, the media has been pretty much proceeding at its own discretion. Noone in the media wants to be the one to incite panic or dash hopes and so they tread slowly and carefully as they try to lead the public towards a clearer understanding of the new realities. It's a tricky underground tunnel to traverse in these confusing times when time itself, as it was at the Hatter's tea party, feels like it's standing still. March 10 was a decade ago and March 11 still seems like only yesterday. Yet time is passing very quickly nonetheless, weeks swirling past in what feels like seconds. Among the revelations the dormouse has popped up with this past week:
*For the last two weeks, the two best documentary shows Hodo Tokushu (Saturdays) from TBS and Ban Kisha from NTV (Sundays) have been probing deeper and airing the work of brave freelance journalists who have gone into the exclusion zone around Fukushima. They've come out with chilling geiger counter readings and film of the poor animals left behind, the dogs, cows and horses wandering the streets. Really heartbreaking stuff.
In the "stick his head in the teapot" department, the weekly magazine Shukan Gendai reports in its April 23 issue that Noriyuki Mizuno, an in-house commentator for the national broadcaster NHK, came under pressure and criticism from nuclear and electrical power interests after stating on air that the March 12 hydrogen explosion at Fukushima was "a very grave situation" (kore wa hijoni shinkoku na jitai de aru.) The article claims he was not seen on air for a while after that although he did reappear in a March 27 NHK special noting "both good and bad things have to be reported." And yet, we still have not heard any clear discussion on the mainstream TV networks of the possible worst "worst case" scenarios that are readily available in English publications. The Japanese weekly magazines such as Shukan Gendai did begin to translate some of those scenarios last week but the weeklies have a reputation for being sensationalist and gossipy. It is easy for the general public to ignore their headlines and not take them seriously. But, in reality, the weeklies bridge the gap between trashy tabloid fare and well researched stories. It is to the weeklies that mainstream reporters often go when they can't get their reports into their own publications. If one learns how to read them, the weeklies can be a very good source of information. Other interesting sources of information include the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan special No. 1 Shimbun report; and for nuclear explanations, Arnie Gundersen at http://fairewinds.com/updates at least presents the bad news in a calm, grandfatherly voice.
The week's real media eyeopener for me came on the three-hour TV Tackle special hosted by Beat Takeshi on TV Asahi on April 11. Beat is the dean of Japanese comedians and host of numerous variety shows. His real name is Takeshi Kitano and he is best known abroad as a movie director . TV Tackle discusses politics and current social issues each week with a panel of politicians and TV professors, academics who seem to divide their time between their classrooms and the worlds of entertainment and politics. They started out with a demand for government vision and a New Deal type plan. Then they moved to diagrams showing how many committees are tasked with overseeing nuclear power but, in fact, how it was all a maze of malfunctioning bureaucracy. Kazuhiro Haraguchi, former Minister of Internal Affairs in the Kan government, called TEPCO a very highly guarded (kimitsu) organization with which it was even hard for him to try to set up channels of communication.
The main topics were the Fukushima problem and revitalization of the tsunami-damaged regional economies. Noone came out and said it directly but, of course, the two topics are intricately interrelated. How can the government invest huge sums in jumpstarting the economy while Fukushima is spewing radiation in whatever direction the wind takes it. Indirectly, of course, the message got through. One of the guests was an elderly, warmhearted innkeeper tearfully urging guests to return to her inn as it was safe and a good 100 km from the Fukushima plant. One of the program's emcees did gently mention to her that tourism all over Japan has felt the crunch since March 11, even places 600 or 1000 miles from the scene. In Hokkaido, Otaru and Niseko and other tourist spots have faced massive hotel cancellations and flights between Japan and South Korea and China have been temporarily cancelled for lack of business. Yesterday Sapporo Station, which is usually clogged with tourists pulling their suitcases along, was virtually deserted. Clearly, the whole country is feeling the effects of the man-made Fukushima disaster.
The most outspoken TV Tackle guest was Masayuki Fukuoka, a balding and usually quite jolly political science professor. He was just back from a trip to the disaster area, bearded, incensed and making an impassioned plea for Prime Minister Kan to be replaced so that things can be done to save the situation. Kan has been criticized for forming too many committees and taking too few direct actions. The discussion got so heated Beat quipped we'll be back next week if they let us back on the air.
*AWED too this week by the power of music. Lady Gaga is coming to Japan to appear in the MTV Video Music Aid Japan concert, live from Makuhari Messe on June 25. A special one-hour version will air on the network's worldwide "MTV World Stage" program and be seen by millions around the world. Suntory has also been running some very soothing TV commercials with familiar celebrities combining to sing the Japanese version of the famous Kyu Sakamoto anthem Sukiyaki. (Sakamoto died in the 1985 crash of JAL flight 123, the deadliest crash in aviation history.) The original Japanese title is Ue o Muite Aruko which means "look to the heavens as you walk," and the next line goes: "so your tears don't fall to earth…"
Acceptance April 21, 2011
The big news this week is that Tokyo Disneyland reopened April 15. Ten thousand people lined up to get inside and who can blame them. After living six weeks of the Alice in Nuclear Wonderland nightmare, who wouldn't want to make a beeline for Fantasyland and Tomorrowland?
This week, the emotional roller coaster jerks to a stop at a grudging "acceptance." It's an acceptance that things have changed. They will continue to change in both predictable and unpredictable ways and we have to change with them. Maybe this newfound desire to embrace acceptance comes from reading the obituary of Walter Breuning of Montana who, at 114, was the world's oldest man until he passed away on April 14. The article cited his 5-point secret for living a long life. Among the usual admonitions to eat little, work as long as you can and help others, his two key points were to: "embrace change even when the change slaps you in the face" and "accept death" as a part of life. Wise advice indeed.
Still, my newfound desire to be more accepting of change does not carry over into accepting the behavior of the Hatter (TEPCO) and the March Hare (government officialdom). They both have much to answer for past, present and future, and the dormouse (the media) needs to keep jolting them to attention. Their arrogant behavior still has the power to leave me seething especially after reading a Daily Yomiuri article explaining how pregnant women and young children are still trapped in the highly contaminated Iitate Village–not by lack of gasoline or places to go but by bureaucratic penny pinching and ridiculous rules that would split up evacuating families. The Hatter is fighting a wily radiation foe it has only minimal control over but the March Hare has created a second more sickening tragedy with its evacuation plan ineptitude. And now, we even have the Hare saying it is okay for children to play in Fukushima Prefecture schoolyards as long as the radiation level in the air does not surpass 3.8 microsieverts per hour. Most of the nuclear experts who spent so much time claiming things were at manageable levels have pretty much disappeared from our TV screens since the upgrading of Fukushima to a Level 7 nuclear disaster. One former nuclear industry expert who is still seen now and then has apologized and revealed that no one believed the myth of safety more than the nuclear industry itself. Being true believers, they did not spend much time contemplating what to do in a real disaster and it certainly shows in the evacuation/exclusion area mess.
There's also the knowledge I'm not the only one having trouble with acceptance. The April 18 issue of the Asahi Shimbun Weekly AERA had a very interesting article about writer Kohei Muramatsu, whose blog (in Japanese) shot up from a few hundred clicks a day to 10,000 a day after he wrote a post pointing out it's okay and only natural to be apprehensive, afraid and worried now. Rather, he noted, the over-optimism of those downplaying the danger is more unnatural such as the use of phrases like genpatsu kowai kowai byo (nuclear fear syndrome) to taunt those willing to express their fear and apprehension. In a society where perseverance and doing one's best (gaman and gambaru) are everything, behavior is constrained by fear of what others will think if one is perceived to be deserting the cause or unloyal for following one's own natural inclination to be fearful. While people appear calm on the surface, there is concern but conformity keeps things orderly and keeps opinions that defy generally accepted views from emerging.
Fear has caused tourists to desert Japan just as the country clearly realizes how much it needs the outside world. Tourism is down 95 percent in some areas. Hotels are closing. Academic and medical conferences scheduled for distant locales like Kobe and the southern island of Kyushu, far from the disaster areas and where life goes on as usual, have been cancelled. International art museums are hesitating to send their treasures to Japan for exhibitions. Never have foreign visitors been so much in demand nor so scarce.
Muramatsu's blog also mentioned his concern for how people were being guided to think in certain approved ways. He couldn't understand why AERA had been criticized for (and later apologized for) a March 21 magazine cover that showed a worker in a gas mask below the headine "Radiation is Coming." The cover was considered provocative and fear-inducing but, Muramatsu noted, it was the nuclear disaster, not a magazine cover, that was increasing his anxiety. This week's AERA cover features a figure skater in a frilly pink outfit next to the headline "Nuclear Power and the Japanese."
There's acceptance this week too that I've lost interest in the technical side of the disaster. It's spring. Even here in Hokkaido, we should have forsythia and cherry blossoms by next week. I'm eager to start new writing projects that do not include mention of milli and micro sieverts. I've gone as far as I can with the TV crash course in nuclear physics. Knowing the basics and most of the possible "worst case" scenarios, I don't care to contemplate them anymore. There is not much else to do but pray Mother Nature does not try to upend the Hatter and the Hare's sorry tea party again as they get on with the long process of containing the contamination.
I've also come to accept that we are most probably being "optimistically misled" (if not outright lied to) about many things including the radiation dangers, the length of time necessary for containment, and future prospects. So I change the channel or turn off the news when the publicists and experts come peddling their wares. "What a bunch of banana oil" as my own Uncle Walter would say.
The Ostriches of Fukushima April 28, 2011
Almost every TV viewer in Japan has visited the Dash Mura farm. They just didn't know where it was until April 24. That night, viewers discovered Dash Mura is in Namie Town, which sits in the Fukushima 20 km exclusion zone, and all its inhabitants had been evacuated. Dash Mura is the pet project of TOKIO, a five-man pop music group from the powerful Johnny's Jimusho conglomerate. Filming life at the little farm has been an integral segment of TOKIO's weekly variety show Za Tetsuwan Dash (Sundays, NTV, 7 p.m.) since the year 2000. Previously, viewers were told Dash Mura was somewhere in the Tohoku region but the exact location was not made public. The idea was to create a farm not a tourist spot for pop idol fans and so it stayed anonymous until the TV program's April 24 announcement.
The original premise of the show was for TOKIO to take an abandoned farmhouse, renovate it, grow crops, raise animals and learn the survival skills that had kept their Japanese ancestors going for centuries. The group's members have visited Dash Mura on a regular basis for the last decade and the nation's TV viewers have tagged along as TOKIO learned how to grow rice, make miso, pickles and pottery, dig a well and even thatch the roof, with the help of residents from neighboring towns and villages, most of whom are now Fukushima evacuees. The TV program produced a book, a website, and a working farm. For the nation at large, most of the small towns and villages of the Fukushima countryside are just names on a map but the acknowledgement that Dash Mura, a rustic, idyllic oasis for the nation's TV viewers too, is one of them will bring it all closer to home.
The good news is that the animals on the Dash Mura farm were evacuated. The goats and sheep are now in Gunma Pref. and the dog has been taken in by a staff member. They have fared much better than most of the exclusion area farm animals who were left behind in the rush to evacuate. Some animal welfare groups did brave the radiation to try to save dogs and cats but, this week, the killing of the larger animals began. Nothing has me switching the TV dial quicker than film of those poor emaciated farm animals–the horses, cows, and, oh yes, let's not forget the ostriches.
In the "they just don't make irony better than this" department, the Yomiuri Shimbun on April 26 reported on the fate of 30 ostriches at a ranch in Okuma Town. The rancher, a former Futaba town council member, got the idea to raise ostriches from a Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant PR campaign. In 2000, some ostriches were kept on the plant premises as mascots for a publicity campaign that compared the birds, which grow big although they need little feed, with nuclear power, which can generate a great deal of energy with just a little uranium. The rancher used his ostrich eggs to create cakes and cookies to sell as souvenirs. The business was going well until the megaquake forced him to hastily evacuate with little more than the clothes on his back. When a relative was able to return for a quick visit on April 21, he found 15 ostriches already dead. The rancher is overwhelmed by the irony of it all.
The ostrich is an appropriate mascot symbol for TEPCO, which has long kept its head in the sand about the possibility of unimagineable disasters. On second thought, on the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl this week, perhaps the ostrich is an appropriate symbol for the whole world, which adapted to that disaster and then looked the other way and continued down the nuclear yellow brick road to Fukushima. It does seem people in Japan are starting to wake up to the possibilities of other energy options now. Ironically, as some TV commentators have been pointing out, developing new and exportable energy technologies just might be one of the best ways to get the Japanese economy on track again.
This week, my own exhausting emotional roller coaster ride has come to an end and I'm focused on watching Japan adapt, for better or worse, to the new normal. The current edition of Shukan Shincho magazine is offering tips on purchasing a geiger counter as well as detailed instructions for those who prefer to make their own geiger counter for household use. The other night I saw a TV report on one Fukushima Pref. park that has a sign out front detailing how much radiation one would absorb playing there for an hour.
According to Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency there were 174,343 evacuees as of April 21. Seven weeks into the crisis, many of them are still living on the cold floors of gyms, community halls, and schools throughout the region, with only simple cardboard box partitions for privacy. There are even 154 local residents still living on the floor of the gymnasium at the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant in Miyagi Pref. It's hard to imagine how people are coping, hard to fathom the extent of their loss and emotional distress, and the health threats they face. Radiation issues are getting the most attention but, in tsunami-devastated communities, there is also the danger of mold and asbestos-laden dust from the vast fields of debris. Many people have lost everything, but not quite everything. While their property was swallowed by the sea, their mortgages and car loans were not. They still owe money on property that no longer exists and will struggle to restart new lives burdened with the debts of their old lives. Just thinking about it all is daunting but, in a seismically-active land of 54 nuclear power plants, everyone could be just one earthquake away from finding themselves in a similar situation.
The public has been sympathetic and very generous. Over 171 billion yen in donations has been collected and there are so many volunteers, many are being turned away. Some entertainers and entrepreneurs have given over 1.2 million dollars each. SMAP, another five guy pop group from Johnny's Jimusho, alone gave almost 5 million dollars. Distribution of some of this money is set to begin this week but there are so many victims, initial payouts may be small. Those who lost a family member or whose homes were completely destroyed are expected to get only a little over 4,000 dollars to start. That doesn't go very far in Japan where it can easily cost more than that to pay the upfront deposits to rent an apartment in Tokyo. TV has shown many evacuees who don't want to leave their communities and others who are desperate to get out but can't.
Many celebrities have given generously of their time. Tetsuya Watari and the actors from the Ishihara production company spent a week serving hot meals in one community, living like the evacuees and going without a bath for a week. Other visitors to the various evacuations sites have included: musicians and pop stars, actors and comedians, soccer players and the Sendai professional baseball team, Mickey and Minnie Mouse and the Australian prime minister bearing stuffed koala toys. They sing, sign autographs, serve hot meals and cheer up the evacuees. It must be surreal for survivors to deal with the disaster one moment and then find themselves shaking hands with their favorite pop star or baseball player the next. So many celebrities and everyday people have made their way north to do what they could. And yet… if I were an evacuee…I would feel grateful to those who have come in, yet I wonder if I wouldn't also feel: but couldn't someone help get me out of here and into some housing instead?
It's cherry blossom season in the Tohoku region and the TV news shows are filming the disaster regions' most famous cherry blossom viewing spots for us since the locales are getting few visitors this year. It's almost cherry blossom season in Sapporo too and the Golden Week of May holidays begins Friday. It's time to put the computer, the magazines and the TV away and just enjoy. I feel like being an ostrich for a while too.

Here's one from this week captured by fellow climber, skier and pilot Andrew Peter of Homer, Alaska. It's our crew of skiers and climbers currently on the Northwest ridge of Mount Blackburn.

A man and his dog: Since the dawn of Old Yeller and Lassie it's been the cinema's surefire way of tugging on our heartstrings. In keeping with that tradition—sort of—Australian Joel Parkinson and his ever faithful pooch Trey are set to walk down the red carpet together as Jack McCoy's latest celluloid creation, Free As A Dog—A True Dog's Tale, prepares to hit the big screen. After a year and a half of wandering through Australia with boxer and cinematographer nipping at his heels, Parko revealed in a forthcoming SURFER Magazine Interview (on sale mid-January), "Working with Jack is never easy, it's hard, but the result at the end is worth it."
The film, seen through the eyes of and narrated by the ever-loyal Trey, starts near Parko's home on the Gold Coast, from there the man and his dog embark on a mission to reel two groms (played by James Wood and Ellis Erickson) back in after they've fallen out of line while fantasizing about a dark-haired beauty (played by Ashley Cheadle).
"It's got a Kong's Island thing going on," says Parko, "but it's also got some of that classic Mad Wax acting."
The best part of it all, and Parko will be the first to tell you, the acting is god-awful. From scenes with groms tied to car roofs to Trey "runnin' around and pissin' on everything," as Parko fondly recalls, Free As A Dog has successfully brought humor back into surf films, and it's about time.
But don't think for a minute that the surfing plays second fiddle to the acting. Parko's performances, some at never-before-seen spots along the Australian coast, are nothing short of brilliant. And the two featured groms? "They were good before we started filming," says Parko, "but by the end their talent had come so far."
Beyond the quality of the film itself, is the top-shelf presentation. After the World Premiere on January 2nd, 2006, at Sydney's State Theatre, Free as a Dog will travel internationally with the Billabong Jack McCoy Surf Film Festival until August 2006. It's been a goal of McCoy's, along with festival producer Sinclair Black's, to bring surf films back to the big screen. "Watching a surf film on the big screen is the ultimate," emphasizes McCoy "you just can't beat the feeling".
As well, following its success over the past two years, the Panasonic Surfshorts winning entry will be the curtain raiser to the festival each night. Panasonic Surfshorts is a short film competition that aims to encourage and support filmmakers of all levels to express their ideas and creativity through the production of a 7-minute film. A special thank you goes to Panasonic who are the official sponsors of the surf film competition. The winning entry will also receive $10,000 and the widely sort after Panasonic 3CCD Digital Video Camera to the winning entry.
For tour dates go to Billabong.com. Free as a Dog will be released on DVD in September 2006.

Have you ever wished there was an Instagram for your desktop computer, so you could play with your nonprofit pictures and have them come out beautifully? Well, there is!
With the recent acquisition of Instagram by Facebook, people are all scratching their heads and asking WHY? Why would they pay a billion dollars for a company that has no way of making money?
But if you're less interested in that, and MORE interested in getting more donations and more sympathy for your cause, then I have the very thing for you.
Gotta prove what your nonprofit does, right?
If you don't have pictures, get that camera out.
What kind of pictures are best?
Here's the kind of pictures you don't want:
Buildings, Group scenes, Long shots, Sexy teenagers, Open sores, Deformed limbs, Men with moustaches, People who are overweight, A person in an airport waving goodbye, A board of directors assembled for a meeting, Administrators administrating.
Here's the kind of pictures you DO want:
Show people carrying out your mission.
Whatever it is, get pictures of it.
And now that you've got the pictures, how are you going to edit them?

G. Sangiorgi Collection (1886-1965), Rome.
Private Collection, Monaco, 1970s; thence by descent.
Pre-Lot Text
THE PROPERTY OF A EUROPEAN PRIVATE COLLECTOR Giorgio Sangiorgi (1886-1965) was a principle of the most renowned art-dealing family in Rome. The firm was located at 117 via Ripetta at Palazzo Borghese and was famous for many important auctions, with catalogues written in collaboration with leading scholars. The galleria specialized in ancient art, furniture, ceramics and textiles. As a private collector, Sangiorgi assembled an important ancient glass collection, which he published in 1914. Masterpieces from it were sold in the 1960s and are now the pride of numerous institutions such as the Toledo Museum of Art and the Corning Museum of Glass; the bulk of the collection was sold here at Christie's New York in June 1999, "Ancient Glass formerly in the G. Sangiorgi Collection." As with the glass collection, many of the objects in his personal collection, such as the gems presented here, were acquired throughout Europe and never imported into Italy.

Between Two Worlds by Roxana Saberi (Book Review #16 of 2016)
Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran
After recently finishing Jared Cohen's Children of Jihad, in which he chronicles a brief detention in Iran and his experience with various dissidents and underground life, I came across Saberi's chronicle of her extended detention in Iran (years after Cohen visited the country). While this book is useful to draw attention to arbitrary and wrongful detentions in Iran, I found it raised more questions about the author. It is not an incredibly interesting book. Saberi initially cooperates with her captors and consents to their lies before meeting Iranian detainees who actively resist. Saberi's resolve is strengthened and she retracts her coerced confession, demands a lawyer, and goes on a hunger strike while garnering international support for her release; she is granted release after 101 days in captivity. She writes the book seemingly to draw attention to the perversion of justice in Iran and bring some attention to the women she shared her cell with.
I have the same question of Saberi as I have of Jared Cohen's visit to Iran -- why risk it when you know that sometimes Americans are detained for seemingly arbitrary reasons? Around the time of Saberi's detentions, American hikers along the border were also detained for a long ordeal. Saberi went to Iran in 2003, when she was 26 years old and out of journalism school. She maintains she spent six years working on a book about Iranian life, while working on a Masters degree, conducting interviews with at least 60 different people, which apparently is what drew Iranian's attention. She seemed to be trying to emotionally reconnect to her roots-- her father is an Iranian-American. She apparently dates several men, getting involved with dissident Kurdish filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi, who may or may not have been her actual fiancee (their wikipedia profiles currently do not mention it although Ghobadi claimed as such during her captivity and Saberi tells her interrogators that they "discussed marriage"). I do not want to engage in victim shaming, prosecutors were clearly making false accusations, but if you live in a foreign country that has no official diplomatic relationship with the country on your passport, and do things that are counter to that culture, you will raise suspicion.
Saberi seemed to want to blend into the journalist crowd without actually being a journalist. She knew enough Farsi to get around, but really had to learn better once she was imprisoned. She was able to sell some stories and once got on Fox News in the US (which her accusers claim is an "arm of the Pentagon"). Iran had revoked her journalism credentials, which I would have taken as a warning. Whether she knew it or not at the time, the government was claiming every media outlet in the US was an arm of the US government, especially newspapers with the word "intelligence" in them (like the Seattle Intelligencer).
She downplays it in her book, but she was a beauty pageant queen in the US and one wonders if a less-pretty face would have gotten so much attention; the epilogue mentions that the blue scarf she was so often pictured in became a hot-selling commodity in Iran, "Roxana scarves." Her education and talents connected her to people in higher society, like Ghobadi. Perhaps as someone who had been on television news she was somewhat of a celebrity. In the end, Secretary Clinton and President Obama both worked with other embassies and the UN to get her early release.
The mental anguish of captivity are clearly described by Saberi. She is constantly taunted with "if you cooperate with us, you'll go home shortly" a pattern that continues repeatedly. She confesses to espionage, denounces the Zionist regime in Israel, and more on camera. Her interrogators ostensibly recruit her to spy for Iran, threatening to kill her "anywhere in the world" if she reveals she has been recruited; something she initially agrees to do but later regrets. There is a magistrate who deals a bit more honestly, and the layers and politics of the Iranian justice system are a bit confusing-- particularly for herself. After five weeks in captivity, she realizes her captors knew that she was never a spy but the die was cast so they must keep up the false pretense. A newspaper article found in her apartment is called a "classified document," and her personal life is scrutinized, her 60 interviews for her book become 600, and other lies.
When she is sentenced to 8 years imprisonment for espionage, reality hits home. After getting educated by her cellmates and doing plenty of time soul-searching with the help of her Bible, she resolves to pay the price and tell only the truth. She is granted many rights, retains a lawyer; argues in court with judges, her interrogators, and other witnesses; she gets to call them liars and counter their claims. She is fed, allowed her own books, and allowed supervised calls and visits with loved ones. Some reviewers of this book have pointed out that she would not have gotten near as many rights had she been imprisoned by Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Saberi goes on a hunger strike when the situation appears desperate, and becomes dangerously underweight at the dismay of her parents who come to Iran for support.
To Saberi's credit, she pays many thanks and draws attention to the plights of her cellmates-- other women who have been accused of political crimes. From them, the reader learns that fortune telling with the Koran is a popular past-time in Iran, and other means of passing the time. Saberi learns Farsi from her cellmates. She also writes of how she relied mentally/spiritually on passages from the Bible in her captivity, while a cellmate also teaches her the Shahada and how to read the Koran (Saberi was allowed to have both a Bible and her English Koran). Her jailers watch various television shows while the inmates live through the sounds of what is on TV. Eventually, Saberi learns that the media is covering her story and some journalists are hunger-striking in solidarity, which she discourages. She does pay many thanks to the many parties who influenced the Iranian government for her eventual release. Her would-be fiancee gets out of the country to go to the Cannes film festival just before she leaves. She is not ultimately sure why she was arrested-- perhaps it was to stop the publishing of her book, whatever it contained, perhaps it was part of some unseen inter-governmental struggle. But she writes that her detention is similar to many other political detainees and writes to put pressure on the regime for change.
If one is looking to learn a lot about life in Iran, the subject of the book she had supposedly spent six years working on when she was arrested, you won't find it in these pages. I would like to read that book, but after another six years since captivity I suppose it is not forthcoming; though she supposedly had sent a draft to her mother before imprisonment. I give this book 2.5 stars out of 5.

We were impressed with Mount Rushmore and the massive size of those famous heads. When we learned that the entire Mount Rushmore sculpture would fit on the head of Crazy Horse I was floored.
The story of the Crazy Horse Monument and how it has become a family legacy was inspiring. Work on this massive monument is slow but it will be truly amazing once it's accomplished. I hope the girls will be able to return with me one day to see it completed.
This first picture was taken from more than a mile away. The white outline of the horses head you see on the side of the mountain is more than three feet wide. The horizontal surface you see in front of Crazy Horses face is his extended arm that is point to his land over the top of horses head.

Phonetic Hero replied to DarkeSword's topic in CommunityWow, super disappointed with the new DLC info.

The support means a whole lot man :'D Never thought I'd be here just 5.5 short years after joining the forums! Goes without saying, but HUGE shout outs to the community for fostering my musical growth during some very formative years. Wouldn't be where I am without y'all <3 Thanks! And fair enough, though if you're conflating AW with Fire Emblem, I think that's a bit of a mistake. The two play really differently from a strategic perspective - I personally am not a big fan of FE (RPG elements take out a lot of the strategy), but I LOVE Advance Wars. I haven't played a game that captures its take on the tactical genre since.. the last AW game, which came out almost a decade ago now (not to mention Days of Ruin was way different from the rest), so I'm just as excited to play the game as I am to write for it

I'll grant you most of your points, at least in that I think they're subjective enough that I don't think critical discussion is all that necessary, particularly your gripes with 3D platforming. I often dislike 3D platforming too, but personally I find being able to "see your feet" doesn't help all that much (Devil May Cry, as just one example, has some AWFUL platforming sections). I'll even let your complaints about the visors being gimmicks slide, even though I disagree (and I think saying the gameplay was "shoehorned" into the artistic vision is extremely overdramatic imo haha) The map design I found to be pretty brilliant though, with a few exceptions. One of these is the one you mentioned, right after Ice Beam - it tripped me up EVERY TIME for many, many playthroughs, and it is especially annoying with poor visibility before you get Gravity Suit (I have absolutely no idea why they made that choice). In general though, there's very little backtracking involved (MUCH less than some other titles in the series) and every time I play it through, I'm consistently blown away by how well everything comes together once you hit the Phazon Mines: You proceed through the Mines for the first time and grab power bombs On your way out, you notice a pile of rubble in front of a morph ball mechanism that can be power bombed away, which leads to Grapple Beam Nearby, there's an elevator to Magmoor Caverns, which takes you VERY close to where you need to go next to grab the Plasma Beam There's another elevator nearby that leads to Tallon Overworld, where you grab the X-Ray Visor Yet again, there's an elevator nearby that leads back to the Phazon Mines, which is quickly traversable and makes progressing to Omega Pirate easy As to your other points regarding the game's layout, you can turn off the hint system in the options menu if you'd rather just explore (this was the beginning of the hand-hold era of video games, after all). The Artifacts I had no issue with - 2 are very easy to find early on, and when you visit the Artifact Temple for the first time and place them, you get hints about almost all the rest of them. The hints have locations in the form of area names coupled with word-for-word room names, and planning a route to get them quickly isn't very difficult at all. It also fits into the games narrative really nicely and it gives me an excuse to look for other pickups on the way, so I personally have no issues here.

Phonetic Hero posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Been a whiiiiile since I posted in the WIP forums, how's everyone been? I ended up getting stumped on an orchestral remix commission and took some time to transcribe a tune from FFT (with probably more on the way) to help get me past the blockage and stay productive. I added a bit of light interpretation in the form of a pizzicato double bass section for some low end support and some choir chords for added harmonic coloration, based off of the implied harmonies in the source. I included a MIDI download in the description on soundcloud as well as some additional notes for anyone interested. This was mostly for my personal studies (and for fun), but I figured someone might enjoy it anyway

There are definitely some great moments. I say play till a little way into the last area (the Sanctuary) and if you hate it, stop playing because it only gets worse at that point. But hey that's just me, plenty of people like it even more than the first!

I'm fine excluding MP2 from this statement
avaris liked a post in a topic: Sequence Breaker: An Original Metroid Tribute, out 8/8 on Tiny Waves!
Phonetic Hero replied to Phonetic Hero's topic in CommunityThanks a lot dude! The percussion in the Metroid Prime OST is very much at the forefront of its tunes as a result of all its unique timbres, so it seemed like a natural fit for me to try to emulate. It definitely wasn't easy and I really had to push myself, but overall I'm really happy with how things turned out. I have to agree that the execution is probably better on the other two tracks than on the opener. Hatchling is such an ambitious track, I really wish I had more time to sit with it and massage it a bit more to smooth out pieces of the structure and round the edges on some of the percussion. But hey, at least I've got loads of thematic material to work with for future installments! Even considering the deadlines and unfortunately having to rush things a little toward the end, I'm very happy with how all the tracks turned out. This has been by far the most personally fulfilling music I've ever released, and I'm looking forward to doing more Sequence Breaker releases in the future
I feel sort of the opposite haha, I'm actually glad they haven't remade Metroid 2 so the fanmake could flourish. Finished all of AM2R yesterday and it's incredible. I have my issues with it as an assy game critic, but they're pretty few in number and overall it's a really great play. There's so much added material and it's such a creative and obviously impassioned take on the original, weaving in the series lore and making nods to games that, chronologically, come later in the series. Really, if you're a Metroid fan, I can't recommend it highly enough!
Phonetic Hero posted a topic in CommunitySurprised there wasn't already a thread for this, but happy 30th birthday, Metroid!! This series means so much to me, and Metroid Prime in particular is one of my favorite games ever. Anyone doing anything to celebrate today? I'm working my way through AM2R, the fan remake of Metroid 2 with my roommate - the full version FINALLY released today after years of hard work and the game is seriously amazing, highly recommended! Any favorite games from the series, or even more specifically, moments from games? I probably have too many to list, but a couple for me are: First stepping foot in the Chozo Ruins in Metroid Prime and having the camera pan around to show the abandoned temple structures Pretty much anything to do with avoiding the SA-X when it's revealed how powerful it is and knowing you're no match If anyone's got any fan works, I'd love to see/hear them! I've been hard at work myself over the past 6 months or so, putting together a few original tracks to try to capture what the series means to me (made a separate thread for it, if anyone's interested). If you've made anything to celebrate Metroid recently (or maybe not so recently!), post it up!
Phonetic Hero posted a topic in CommunitySEQUENCE BREAKER Happy 30th birthday, Metroid!! I've been working for the last half year on a few original tracks to pay homage to one of my favorite series in the most unique way I can. The tracks heavily emulate the sound choices of Metroid Prime, my favorite game in the series, to give the listener something familiar but also something new. Thanks for listening From the album notes: " "Sequence Breaker" is my personal love letter to the Metroid series, encapsulating the wonderment inspired by the striking beauty of the games' environments and introspective storytelling. The soundscapes in each track were chosen - and often created from scratch - to heavily emulate the music from Metroid Prime, my favorite game in the series, while keeping each piece unique to me as a composer. Every melody, chord progression, and percussive hit was crafted with a deep love, and I truly hope you enjoy this impassioned tribute to an amazing series as much as I enjoyed creating it! Each original composition was inspired by specific pieces, moments, environments, or characters in the Metroid series. Some are fairly overt, others less so. Since creating a consistent and enveloping atmosphere is so crucial to the series' emotional conveyance, each track was designed with the same sense of sentient world-building. My goal was to enable the listener to create their own narrative as the album progresses, walking through familiar worlds or exploring new ones in their mind's eye. Above all else, this release is a gift to Metroid fans everywhere, including myself. Please enjoy the first installment of what will assuredly be an ongoing project, with many more releases in the future!" Pete

When do you need Burton Fish ?
Hey guys,
I have won a Burton Fish 160 and I don't know if / when / where will I ever use it.
I am using a GNU Pickle 150 all over the place (including the "freeride" contest I won the fish) and I am amazed by the float. I am a very light dude at 142lbs and I am wondering what can the Fish do to make my pow days better ? I don't really get back leg burn and when I do, I ride switch and I love it.
What I am thinking is that here in Romania, we never get the conditions for the Fish to shine.
What do you guys think, should I keep it ? If so, what bindings should I mount on it ?
