Rhaeto-Romance languages[edit]
There is a user who continues to ignore Ladin varieties in Non Valley and Belluno, being respectively assessed by official censi in Italy and recognized by authorities in Italy.--Patavium (talk) 21:31, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- "Ladin" has several meanings. Either it denotes all rhaeto-romance languages (then it also includes Noneso and Bellunese), or it the denotes only the Dolomites Ladin (which comprises only the variants spoken in Val Gardena, Badia, Fassa, Fodom and Cortina). See Videsott ([1] - the source you provided - thanks!): Ladino noneso (or ladino anaunico) and Ladino bellunese were never considered as part of the Central Ladin or Dolomites Ladin. As it seems you continue to ignore your own sources, and also like to mis-translate them as per your pov.--Sajoch (talk) 22:35, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- We are talking about Ladin language. The Dolomites also include Cadore, you know this?[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patavium (talk • contribs) 22:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- As I said: Nones (and Solander) are neither politically considered ladin minorities, nor by recent scientific studies considered Ladin or even semi-ladin dialects. Also Agordino is not Ladin. Unless you consider "Ladin" as a synonym for all rhaeto-romance languages, which is not the case here, as "Ladin" is put on a par with "Friulan" and "Romansh".--Sajoch (talk) 02:16, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- Ladin means nones, solander, fascian, gherdeina, badiot, Ladino Bellunese.--Patavium (talk) 20:53, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- There are sources galore confirming this. I can recommend you for example this one, Ladinia – Sföi culturâl dai ladins dles Dolomites, giving you a bibliography and containing a paper about proverbs in Comelico.[3]--Patavium (talk) 21:08, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- Definitely: no! "Ladin" stands either for the ladin around the Sella massif or it's a synonym for all rhaeto-romance languages. You should provide a (scientific!) source that tells us, that Nones, Solander and Agordino are Ladin but Romansh and Friulan are not. Even the source you just mentioned doesn't confirm your claim. Your source explicitly excludes Noneso, Solander or Agordino from Sella-Ladin. Also is mentioned, that Haller puts the Comelican dialect near the Friulan language. Also Nikolaus Bacher only counts the Sella-dialects as Ladin. So yours remains OR.--Sajoch (talk) 09:16, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Sajoch, you should stop engaging in this edit-war. You should stop accusing me of OR or worse, mis-translations. Of course we can discuss another classification of Ladin / Rhaetoromance, but we cannot exclude Nones, Solander and Bellunese. No respectable source does this. Taken from http://ald.sbg.ac.at/rid/rid_20.html:
Il capitolo introduttivo, 1. Das Rätoromanische in seiner Gesamtheit, riporta l'elenco degli studi ladini o retoromanzi in senso lato, cioè in senso ascoliano / gartneriano. I titoli si presentano disposti in ordine geografico, da ovest ad est, partendo dal ladino occidentale: 2.1. Das Bündnerromanische in seiner Gesamtheit, a sua volta suddiviso, seguendo la classificazione del DRG, e cioè in: 2.2. Sursilvan; 2.3. Grischun Central con 2.3.1. Sutsilvan, 2.3.2. Surmiran e 2.3.3. Bravuogn (il dialetto di Bergün); 2.4. Das Engadinische und das Münstertalische con 2.4.1.Engiadin'Ota: Puter, 2.4.2. Engiadina Bassa: Vallader e 2.4.3. Val Mustair: Jauer. Il gruppo centrale degli idiomi ladini viene suddiviso in: 3.1. Ladino anaunico; 3.2.0 Ladino dolomitico ("atesino") con 3.2.1. Gherdëina, 3.2.2. Badiot (che riunisce a sua volta Ladin e Marèo), 3.2.3. FaSan e 3.2.4. Fodôm; 3.3. Ladino-veneto e 3.4. Ladino cadorino. La sezione orientale, infine, cioè il Furlan, non è stata divisa in sottogruppi per la presenza di una koiné.
You can also read the classification according to Paul Videsott's Bibliografia retoromanza 1729-2010.--Patavium (talk) 11:45, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Videsott, page 8 of the pdf. I asked for a third opinion here: [4]--Patavium (talk) 12:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I mentioned the census confirming the Ladinity of Non Valley [5]. I also mentioned the institutions, here they are for Belluno [6]. I am adding now the Italian State Television [7], starting from minute 37:28. La valle di Non è un' enclave ladina in Trentino... = Non Valley is a Ladin enclave in Trentino. I can also recommend local newspapers: here, Ladins: Nonesi outnumber Fassani [8]--Patavium (talk) 12:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
As far as mis-translations are concerned, I would like to remind you of the discussion [9]. Thank you.--Patavium (talk) 12:48, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Third opinion[edit]
I'm here as an uninvolved third opinion as requested at Wikipedia:Third opinion. I'm having a little trouble following the discussion, mostly because some of it implies evidence and wording in another language. To clarify the two positions, the disagreement stems on two formats of wording. User:Sajoch choice for:
- artificial language: Ladin Dolomitan
User:Patavium's choice for:
- Bellunese Ladin (Agordino, Cadorino, Comeliano)
- Ananunic Ladin (Nones, Solandro)
I cannot read your sources and furthermore this is the English Wikipedia. As such any sources used to support something must be verifiable and henceforth readable to Anglophones. From what little I gathered, Ladin Dolomitan is a standard written form from the whole Ladin area and Bellunese Ladin and Anaunic Ladin are used in smaller areas of the Ladin area (Belluno and Trentino). What confuses me is that on Rhaeto-Romance languages it lists all three. If you could please, separately, clarify and explain the differences between the two versions that would be much appreciated. Mkdwtalk 21:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- That's tricky. First you should know, that there exist different definitions of the word "Ladin": it either denotes the group of languages spoken in a wider area raning from Switzerland (where the language is called "Rumanc"), over north-east-Italy till Friuli (whose dialect is called "Friulan"). The italian linguist Graziadio Isaia Ascoli used the term "Ladin" this way. While in a more narrow perspective "Ladin" includes only the dialects of the valleys around the Sella group (which are: Gherdeina, Badiot, Fassan, Fodom and Ampezzan). Today the narrower definnition is preferred, and neither Rumanc nor Friulan are usually called Ladin. The dialects spoken in adiacent valleys of those 3 areas, show a varying degree of remnants from a debatable "ladin" substrate, but (to avoid confusion) it's better to call it a rhaeto-romance substrate. Due to the strong similarity to venetian or lombard, those dialects are usually assigned to the italian language group. Recent dialectometric studies confirm this classification. Those dialects are called: Noneso (or Anauno), Solander, Bellunese, Comelican or Cadorino. When we consider "Ladin" in the wider sense (as a synonym for all rhaeto-romance dialects), those semi-ladin languages may be called anaunic-ladin, bellunese-ladin, or similarly.
- But as this template is already called "Rhaeto-Romance languages" and "Ladin" is one of its subcategories on the same level as "Rumanc" and "Friulan", it should be clear, that we are using a narrower definition of "Ladin" here. Therefore those other dialects should not be included under "Ladin" - if at all.--Sajoch (talk) 00:12, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- I don't care about the addition of "Ladin Dolomitan" (which was Pataviums idea), as it is an artificial language with low acceptance: an attempt to create a standard language by mixing the Sella-Ladin-dialects.--Sajoch (talk) 00:33, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- I see. Thanks for the explanation. As stated earlier, verifiable is a pillar of Wikipedia. Do you have any reliable and independent sources that substantiate that Ladin in the wider sense refers to all 'rhaeto-romance dialects' and that a narrow definition also exists (in English)? Also, in the article itself, it lists: Bellunese Ladin, Dolomitic Ladin, and Anaunic Ladin. Why are they mentioned if they're associated with the Italian language group) / should they not then be mentioned in the template as well? Mkdwtalk 01:00, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Again: the recent addition of "Anaunic Ladin" and "Bellunese Ladin" to the article was Pataviums idea. In the original version by Mai-Sachme those dialacts were not there. If I try to remove them, it will result in an edit-war with Patavium (same happened on this template and on german wikipedia). I would suggest to restore Mai-Sachmes version and mention the debatable dialects (anaunic and bellunese) only in a separate section at the end of the article, instead of giving them undue weight. As a proof that only Gherdeina, Badiot, Fassan, Fodom and Ampezzan are considered "Dolomitic Ladin" (not to be confused with the artificial language Ladin Dolomitan), see: "The Rhaeto-Romance languages", ISBN: 0-203-99248-2, which lists as rhaeto-romance languages only "Swiss Romansh", "Dolomitic Ladin" and "Friulan", further indicating that "there are 5 valleys traditionally forming the territory where Dolomitic Ladin is spoken: Gardena (=Gherdeina), Gadera (=Badia), Fassa, Livinallongo (=Fodom) and Ampezzo." (see page 12).--Sajoch (talk) 18:07, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mkdw! Thanks for you answer.
- Please notice that most sources regarding Ladin are not in English.
- However, in English I can recommend you this nice description of Ladin [10]. Val di Non and Cadore are included of course.
- Morevorer there are highly respected sources as the European Council SECOND REPORT SUBMITTED BY ITALY PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 25, PARAGRAPH 2 OF THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES (received on 14 May 2004), APPROPRIATELY IDENTIFIED TERRITORIAL AREAS, providing us with a list of the communes where Ladin is recognized. Of course Agordo, Comelico and Cadore are included. The text is in English, if you search for Ladin you will find what you are looking for.
- Among the Ladin areas, Ladino Bellunese area is the most extensive. I think we should give it more weight. There are Ladin dictionaries for single communities such as Elia de Lorenzo Tobolo's, Dizionario del dialetto ladino di Comelico Superiore (=Dictionary of Ladin dialect of Upper Comelico).
- In addition: the usage of terms such as "semi-ladin" (not by yourself of course) has been severely criticized by the local cultural institutions, being considered as offensive. There are papers published with respect to this and other issues, but they are in Italian.
- Coming back to my first point, the best source for a classification is Paul Videsott, Chiara Marcocci, Bibliografia retoromanza 1729-2010. If there is need for a translation, we can find someone. Why is this source so good for a classification? Because it is a catalogue of all Rhaetoramance literature since 1729. Look at the classification:
- I Il retoromanzo nella sua totalità = Rhaetromance in its totality
- II Romancio grigionese
Soprasilvano [Sursilvan] [Sur] Grigionese centrale [Grischun central]: Sottosilvano [Sutsilvan] [Sut]; Surmirano [Surmiran] [Srm]; Bravuogn [Brv] Engadinese e Valmonasterano [Ladin] [Eng]: Alto Engadinese [Puter] [Put]; Basso Engadinese [Vallader] [Val]; Valmonasterano [Jauer] [Jau] Rumantsch Grischun [RG]
- III Ladino anaunico
Noneso [Non] Solandro [Sol]
- IV Ladino dolomitico
Gardenese [Gherdëina] [Grd] Ladino della Val Badia [Ladin dla Val Badia] [Gad]: Marebbano [Mareo] [Mar]; Ladino dei comuni di San Martino e La Valle [Ladin de Mesaval] [Lmv]; Badiotto [Badiot] [Bad] Fassano [Fascian] [Fas]: Cazet [Caz]; Brach [Bra]; Moenat [Moe] Livinallese [Fodom] [Fod]; Collese [Ladin da Col] [Col] Ampezzano [Anpezan] [Anp] Ladin Dolomitan [LD]
- V Ladino bellunese
Agordino [Ag] Cadorino [Cad] Comelicese [Com]
- VI Friulano [Furlan]
--Patavium (talk) 19:08, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- I will not respond to the single points above, as this will end in a never-ending debate (see Pataviums history). One hint only: the assignment of the Anauno- and Belluno-dialects to the Ladin language group has political and financial reasons ("protection of national minorities") but lacks scientific back-up, while "Ladin" (in the sense of "Dolomite Ladin") is an accredited minority language. Only "Ladin in a wider sense" allows for inclusion of those dialects, but this is not what the legislator intended.--Sajoch (talk) 19:29, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
My opinion[edit]
Firstly, thank you both for taking the time to explain things in a relatively simple way. It's clear the issue is somewhat controversial at the academic level as well which makes both sides have a valid argument.
Due to the esoteric nature of the problem and the limited editorship here at the English Wikipedia, the article and template should defer to the corresponding Italian Wikipedia entries. Meaning, the English Wikipedia should reflect the consensus found at the Italian Wikipedia. If the debate is also present at the Italian Wikipedia, then the English Wikipedia article should still reflect the current page (barring edit warring; otherwise a hold on edits until the matter is resolved).
I know this option seems like we're making this problem someone else's problem but I think you'll both agree that with out access to sources in Italian as well as other editors who are more knowledgeable about the subject (presumably that can be found on the Italian Wikipedia as well as corresponding WikiProjects) that the issue cannot be resolved here. Furthermore, if the debate is currently ongoing at the Italian Wikipedia, you still have the option to seek a third opinion there as well as to seek to appeal to other editors of languages who know more about the subject. This leaves both sides a further option to seek the changes they want.
Please let me know if you are willing to take this one extra step; I am sorry that you will not have your definitive answer right away. Mkdwtalk 20:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for you answer. Actually there is no definitive answer anyway. But I think in the articles Ladin language and Rhaetoromance language there is space enough to describe the facts.--Patavium (talk) 21:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- No sorry. The italian version is a total mess. While the introduction and terminology is acceptable, the following section about the divisions is contradictory. It even confuses Ladin Dolomitan with Dolomite Ladin. There were redirects between "Lingue retoromanze" and "Lingua ladina" which further exposes the ubiquitous confusion in italian Wikipedia. The talk page of "Lingua ladina" was a link to the "Lingue retoromaze"'s talk page, and editors contributing there were unaware of which article they were talking about... Discussion is still going on, and the relative contents get changed often. The german version instead should be taken as a reference.--Sajoch (talk) 22:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- No way! The article "Rätoromanische Sprachen" doesn't even mention Sella or Cadore. If you find an error, you're welcome to correct it.--Sajoch (talk) 22:57, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Read Videsott, read the census, read the European Council. The model in this case should be Italian Wikipedia. First we correct the mistakes here and then elsewhere.--Patavium (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Videsott mentions: Agordino [Ag] Cadorino [Cad] Comelicese [Com]--Patavium (talk) 00:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Videsott agrees with me. The Census is a collection of numbers without any assertion about the ladinity of a dialect; but even if misinterpreted that way, a mere 21% "ladinity" in Val di Non and 1,5% in in Val di Sole are not a convincing argument. The European Council as well says nothing about the ladinity of a dialect; it simply advocates to guard minority groups and collects lists of areas/communes allocated by local authorities (and neither Val di Non nor Val di Sole appear on such a list!).--Sajoch (talk) 00:33, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Have a look at Videsott's classification.
- Please stop questioning all sources but your POV. It is not up to you to decide who is Ladin and who is not.
- As I said: there is a recognized Ladin area. Let me think, maybe the dialect is actually Swahili or Faroese??
- Non and Sole Valley do not appear at the EC because the territory was not recognized as Ladin. But the people declared themselves as Ladin. How many times do we need to repeat this? Till the 201st kb?--Patavium (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

This is why I mentioned that even if the Italian article is a mess, its more likely to come to a consensus with other Italian speaking editors contributing to the discussion. Don't you think there's a higher chance for this to be clarified there and more knowledgeable editors to weight in than on the English Wikipedia. The problem with sourcing will be hugely problematic. The solution I proposed was a no-win solution for either side, but it was a solution altogether. If you cannot agree to my recommendation than you can try again at Third Opinion or seek Arbitration, but I will warn you that engaging in an edit war will leave this unresolved and lead to punitive measures. Best of luck to your consensus. Mkdwtalk 02:35, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Dear Mkdw, I appreciate your efforts, but I'm sorry to tell you that italian Wikipedia is a hopeless clutter of political pov-pushing, where academic sources are seldom relevant and there will never be an agreement. BTW: Patavium is an active "contributor" on italian Wikipedia too. On the other hand knowledgeable editors (among those a linguist, a romance expert and some native ladin-speakers) contributed to the german articles about Ladin and Rhaeto-Romance.--Sajoch (talk) 13:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- On the contrary. There have been thorough discussions on Italian Wikipedia, leading to some really excellent articles where almost every single sentence is sourced. This was necessary due to massive editwarring brought about by some users.--Patavium (talk) 15:20, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- It's impressive and telling at the same time how much you appreciate you very own work, since you, Patavium, are the main author of the Italian article about the Ladin language. It's quite odd, though, when you tout the "really excellent articles where almost every single sentence is sourced" and "thorough discussions on Italian Wikipedia", and, while tyring to verify your claims, the only things I could find are empty talk pages, outdated talk pages, articles with a big citation needed tag up front and articles without warning tag but very poor referencing. --Mai-Sachme (talk) 17:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

- You are seriously dissing Italian Wikipedia instead of contributing to the discussion, aren't you? Well, discussions regarding Ladin and Rhaetoromance were put together in Italian Wikipedia. Sajoch was badmouthing Italian Wikipedia in general, my statement was general too. Of course I will not play this game with other Wikis. But i do confirm that in Italian Wikipedia there is a much better control, which results in the tags you listed even in cases when other Wikipedias would consider sources to be sufficient. Moreover, this ignoring sources by Sajoch would have been already sanctioned.
- Coming back to the template, you wanted me to discuss my edits previously. Well, that is what I have been doing all time. But I guess it is your usual total revert modus. This is impressive actually.--Patavium (talk) 22:56, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- No, I was not badmouthing it.wiki in general. And concerning the alleged sources: whenever we investigate and check "your" sources, we find out you misinterpreted them (see Videsott or Kattenbusch, which both never included anaunic-ladin or the bellunese dialects in a list of Dolomite-Ladin languages). Our WP:AGF has reached its end.--Sajoch (talk) 00:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
- You were badmouthing in general. Sajoch's words: 'sorry to tell you that italian Wikipedia is a hopeless clutter of political pov-pushing are quite eloquent. Moreover, your edit is OT, we are talking about Rhaetoromance.
- back to the topic.
- Videsott includes bellunese into Rhaetoromance. You editwarred that away.
- Kattenbusch includes Comelian, which is Bellunese, into pure Dolomite Ladin. I can show you the paper.--Patavium (talk) 10:31, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Have you considered a third opinion option at the Italian Wikipedia or seeking to attract more editors there via WikiProjects or RfC? This was a large part of recommendation in the case of dispute at the Italian article side. Mkdwtalk 21:34, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Debate over Nones being Ladin[edit]
Perhaps this debate could use some common sense. Although I am not a fluent speaker of Nones, I can tell you that my grandparents could speak Nones to friends from the Val di Fassa and they considered each language as a mere dialect of the other. They never had problems understanding each other. Nones speakers before 1918 did not consider their language Italian in anyway. Whether you wish to consider Nones Ladin or not, those of us with ties to the old language know that we are one and the same, all Trentini! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobli ruali (talk • contribs) 21:54, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Furlan standard and Ladin Dolomitan are standardised varieties, not constructed languages. They are no more constructed than Hochdeutsch or Chancery Standard.
Ask yourselves this: if they really are constructed languages, why were they added to Template:Rhaeto-Romance languages instead of Template:Constructed languages? Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV (talk) 15:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

For many critics and cinephiles who came of age in the 1960s and '70s, Nagisa Oshima, now 76, has long held the mantle of Japan's greatest living filmmaker. Younger viewers, for the most part, have had to take them at their word since his films are scarcely available on home video and rarely revived for repertory screenings.
With this once-towering figure almost in eclipse, it is hard to overstate the significance of "In the Realm of Oshima," his first major retrospective in the United States in more than 20 years. The series, which runs from Saturday through Oct. 14 as part of the New York Film Festival, includes all 23 of his fiction features. Its title alludes to "In the Realm of the Senses," a 1976 hard-core provocation and the one Oshima film whose notoriety survives.
The retrospective, which will travel to about a dozen other North American cities, is a labor of love for its curator, James Quandt of the Cinematheque Ontario, who has worked on it for 10 years, tracking down obscure print sources and negotiating a tangle of rights problems. In the context of an amnesiac film culture, it is also a heroic intervention, a bid to safeguard a master's place in the canon.
Richard Peña, the program director at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, which organized the show jointly with the Cinematheque Ontario, said he realized that a retrospective was long overdue when he taught a seminar at Columbia University a few years ago on "Cruel Story of Youth," Mr. Oshima's breakthrough second feature, from 1960, and found that none of his students had heard of the filmmaker.
He added that Mr. Oshima's reputation had suffered from the increasing timidity of art-house tastes: "For a while there was a kind of hostility to the radical experiments in form that Oshima came to incarnate."Continue reading the main story
If Mr. Oshima's legacy now seems a bit murky, it is partly because he was, by design, a tough filmmaker to pin down. Several thematic threads run through his movies — sex, crime, an alertness to the social and political dimensions of his characters' transgressions — but there is no stylistic signature. Mr. Oshima swerved between extremes, reshaping familiar genres (family epics, youth films) and inventing new ones (freely mixing modes like documentary realism and avant-garde surrealism), always searching for radical forms to match radical content.
Born into a family with samurai ancestry and socialist leanings, Mr. Oshima studied law at Kyoto University, where he became active in the left-wing student movement. His youthful ideals extended into his film career, and his interest in cinema as a revolutionary tool — along with his gift for acid polemics and his pop touch with political material — earned him repeated comparisons to another '60s titan, Jean-Luc Godard. (Tired of being called Japan's answer to Mr. Godard, Mr. Oshima suggested that Mr. Godard be considered the Oshima of France.)
Like all iconoclasts, Mr. Oshima has a patricidal aspect to his career. "My hatred for Japanese cinema includes absolutely all of it," he declared. When he made a television documentary on Japanese cinema in 1995, he included only one clip each from older masters like Yasujiro Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi. (Four of his own films made it in.) Where others saw refinement, Mr. Oshima saw meek politesse and ossified ideals of beauty. This is a filmmaker who once wrote an essay titled "Banish Green" and excised the color from his movies because he thought it too soothing.
It was not just Japanese aesthetics but a whole system of Japanese thought that Mr. Oshima sought to probe and overthrow. He picked at the scabby flipside of his country's postwar economic miracle, exposing the tyranny of tradition and the failure of dogma, scotching the sentimental myths of the land of the rising sun. His third feature, "The Sun's Burial" (1960), includes numerous shots of the sun, its glow turned seemingly radioactive, setting over an infernal Osaka slum.
Mr. Oshima threw in his lot with the underclass. His protagonists tend to be rebels, outcasts and criminals. Many of his plots pivot on scams, executed with either casual or desperate cruelty and typically doomed to backfire.
At the peak of his powers, Mr. Oshima had a particular talent for transmuting tabloid scenarios into excoriating social parables. Many of his greatest films are inspired by true stories, including "Violence at Noon" (1966), a fractured portrait of a serial rapist and the two women who love him; "Death by Hanging" (1968), a Brechtian screed against capital punishment and Japanese xenophobia; and "Boy" (1969), a coming-of-age tale about a family that forces its eldest son to fake traffic injuries.
Mr. Quandt believes that these movies, which he called "total eviscerations of Japan Inc.," are ripe for reappraisal. "The line on Oshima is that the films are highly cerebral or conceptual," he said. "That's true to a degree, but I also find the films incredibly moving. Unlike almost anything in contemporary cinema, they feel like they're ripped out of his being."
In the second, more leisurely half of Mr. Oshima's career (he has made only five fiction features in the last 35 years, after racking up 18 between 1959 and 1972), he has developed a parallel persona as a talk show host. He ventured out of Japan for the prisoner-of-war melodrama "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" (1983), starring David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and "Max Mon Amour" (1986), a sex farce that pairs Charlotte Rampling with a chimpanzee. After suffering a stroke in the mid-'90s, he recovered for one presumably final subversion, the gay samurai drama "Taboo" (2000).
There was an obvious correspondence between the political weather and Mr. Oshima's productivity. He released three films in 1960, amid escalating protests over the renewal of Japan's security treaty with the United States, and matched that number in 1968, a year of global revolt. His '60s bookends — "Night and Fog in Japan" (1960), a flashback-filled account of the vicious in-fighting between two generations of student radicals, and "The Man Who Left His Will on Film" (1970), a playful yet infinitely sad epitaph for the very idea of political filmmaking — are among the most clear-eyed documents of that mythologized decade.
To call these films products of their times does nothing to diminish their freshness. It is precisely because Mr. Oshima was so furiously engaged with his moment that his movies still have so much to say to ours.Continue reading the main story

This is VERY good. So far, the only non-garbage on this site has come from you and Silver Spider. You also write better than Greg Rucka...
| Too lazy to log in chapter 1 . 11/22/2011
"'Of course it's correct. I'm Batman.'" This is where I bow down to you with mirthful tears streaming down my face. From the very beginning of Cat-Tales, you have trapped me within your lovely web of stories and stunned me with the quality in which they've been written. You are an amazing genius, no doubt. If these stories haven't made it to the comic books yet, they should.
| Kayli chapter 5 . 12/9/2009
hands down favorite. :)
| Kayli chapter 3 . 12/9/2009
lol This is brillant-
""Why is there a stolen generator in my living room?" Dick asked.
"A little more care with our adjectives," Barbara chided. "It's not stolen; it's been re-localized."
"Retroactively displaced," Selina corrected.
"Ah, okay, what's the bullshit euphemism for a stolen generator doing in my living room?" Dick repeated."
Okay so I have new favorite lines and these are them. In fact I think this might be my new favorite story. Its hysterical especially Bruce trying to restrain himself and the car joke thing. lol
| Kayli chapter 2 . 12/9/2009
LOL (That's all that needs to be said about this chapter) Just LMAO! :) (In a good way, not a mean sarcastic way)
| t wrecks chapter 5 . 12/7/2009
wow, 2002, it doesn't seem so long ago. You are very committed to your story
| t wrecks chapter 4 . 12/7/2009
very good
| GuesssWho chapter 2 . 7/16/2009
Pork in the treetops . . . That's from A Lion in Winter, right?
| 24isover chapter 2 . 5/29/2008
putting this on favs for this chapter alone. oh god! *grins*
the bruce/selina bickering...heehee. was this brought about by the realization that the leash looked mighty limp on the other end, so he needed another neck in it?
... and he brought out the checkbook. unbelievable. why does she put up with him?
| Wispr chapter 2 . 3/19/2008
Bruce, Selina, Barbara and Dick together is just a barrel of laughs. But at the same time you can really capture the emotion scares that Bruce and Dick have. Really good work.
| t wrecks chapter 2 . 12/19/2007
awesome, I think some of my husband and I's fights resemble this one
| Nightarcher210 chapter 5 . 9/27/2006
That was great! And I loved the mention of escrima- I used in one of my stories, too. It was really cool to see Bludhaven. And the epilogue was funny.
| Nightarcher210 chapter 1 . 9/26/2006
"Of course it's correct. I'm Batman."
I was laughing along with them.
| CalliopeMused chapter 5 . 10/23/2005
Amazing, as usual- the tension of Batman as the control freak brings emotions into play behind a stellar backdrop of action. There's one excellent story after another- to both you and your collaborating offer, I offer my sincerest compliments.
| ussentinel chapter 5 . 9/30/2002
Quote: "Now I'm supposed to stand here, just stand here, while my boy takes on that monstrosity by himself."
Wowza! That line struck me, especially "...my boy." Those are two words that are very revealing about the Bruce/Dick relationship. You don't hear Batman toss out words like that often; if at all. Good revealation!
The way we went from scene to scene played out nicely. The mention of Englehart square was a nice touch! You have a working knowledge of the Bludhaven denizens and the burg itself! Bravo!
I'm pulling out my "Sherlock" cap for your next one!

Kitchen knives get a decent level of feedback and, recently, a few more affordable manufacturers of knives have risen up to the most effective in many expert reviews and skilled tests. To get our prime choices, we reviewed the outcome of qualified checks from ConsumerReports.org, Cook's Illustrated, and Cooking for Engineers. Roundups at web sites like TheSweethome.com and TheKitchn.com that also include testing were also really informative. Last, we examined tens of thousands of owner evaluations posted at web sites such as for example Amazon.com and WilliamsSonoma.com to observe all of these knives perform and persevere in the real world.
It's always a detailed contact between Wusthof and Victorinox when it comes to the best knives and that update isn't any exception, therefore you'll find these two manufacturers generally in most categories. But we also title plenty of athletes up, like Kyocera, World wide, Mac, Rada, OXO and Mercer. Regardless of the method that you cut it, these are all great knives.
Also known as a cook's knife, this is the one to select if you're able to only have one kitchen knife. Specialists say a chef's knife can manage many home responsibilities all by itself. Because this knife is the kitchen workhorse, it's vital to find one that thinks good in your give, with the proper fat and harmony and an appropriate handle. It ought to be sharp enough to disjoint a chicken or thinly portion a tomato without smashing it. While 8-inches is the most typical measurement, if you have smaller or bigger hands, you might be more more comfortable with a 6- or -10-in chef's knife instead.

Authorities recognize: a sharp, excellent quality knife is required for your kitchen. A dull knife can be dangerous because it needs more force to make use of, so it is more susceptible to falling and chopping wherever it's perhaps not designed to — like on your hand. The best kitchen knife will have a sharp edge that holds its side properly, great balance, a comfortable manage and resilient construction.
Knives are made often from cast or stamped material Forged knives are produced from one little bit of steel that is hot and formed applying a sort or press. Stamped knives are actually "stamped" in one larger bit of metal. It was once confirmed that forged knives were better quality, but that's no more true. Nowadays, stamped knives are also manufactured to a very high quality standard that is virtually indistinguishable from cast knives. In reality, several chefs choose stamped knives because they're lighter and more flexible, and they tend to carry their side longer than smoother, forged knives. Stamped knives are also significantly more affordable than cast ones.
Although the best knives will stvay sharp for quite a long time, many could eventually need to be sharpened. If that's something you'd like to defend myself against at home, see our split record on knife sharpeners. However, if you believe that could be above your amount of knowledge, you can find a local or mail-order professional to complete the maintenance for you. All the producers in that record can sharpen knives for living of the knife for a small fee.

As the volume of online transaction activity continues to grow, it is not surprising that so called "browsewrap" agreements – essentially, terms and conditions that a site user is presumed to have agreed to merely by accessing a website — have garnered more scrutiny by consumers and, ultimately, within the courts. What is surprising is that website operators continue to overlook basic elements to ensure that such agreements are enforceable. The recent case of Hines v. Overstock.com, Inc., Case 1:090-CV-00991-SJ-RLM (Sept. 8, 2009 E.D.N.Y.), is a case in point.
Ms. Hines purchased a vacuum cleaner through Overstock's website and upon later returning it was charged a restocking fee. Upon objecting to this charge, Overstock pointed to the Terms and Conditions posted on its website, which included the statement that "Entering this Site will constitute your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions" – notwithstanding that a user has to actually visit the Terms and Conditions to become aware of this statement. The same with a mandatory arbitration clause buried within the Terms, which specified Salt Lake City, Utah as the place of arbitration. The Hines court regarded Overstock's contentions with skepticism and ultimately determined that the placement of the Terms and the configuration of the website's purchasing process worked against Overstock.
Common Sense vs. Hindsight?
In hindsight it may seem readily apparent that it would be unfair to hold a site user accountable for website terms, such as a mandatory restocking fee or an arbitration clause, about which the user was not made aware prior to completing a transaction through the site. Many websites have traditionally posted somewhere on them "Website Terms" or the like with the expectation that such terms provide a measure of protection even if a site user never actually visits those terms. For sites that are principally informational in nature, basically, an online brochure, this has long been regarded as sufficient. However, the more interactive a site is, es[ecially if a transaction of any sort is being conducted, requiring some affirmative assent to the website terms by the site user is imperative if the site operator is to have a realistic expectation of enforcing those terms.
Most of this seems common sense in terms of basic procedural fairness, which dictates that some meaningful notice have been provided. Website operators have a great deal of latitude in terms of how they contract with their users and many of the procedural battles over the enforceability of online contracts have long ago been decided on traditional contract principles despite the online context. On the Overstock site the Terms and Conditions were posted at the bottom of the site and below the fold or the typical viewer window and required a user to scroll down to even take notice that the terms were present. During the purchasing process, although several screens prompted various responses or information from Ms. Hines at no point was she prompted to acknowledge the Terms themselves. Thus, as the Hines court noted "[v]ery little is required to form a contract nowadays – but [the Overstock notice procedure] alone does not suffice."
The Takeaway
So, website operator beware! If you use a browsewrap agreement without more for important terms upon which you expect to rely in the event of a dispute, you are taking a big risk. Unless you can show some evidence of actual notice of the website's terms by the user, the user will likely be able to skate by without liability because of insufficient notice. While this is much clearer for transaction-oriented websites, it will likely tilt that way for purely informational sites as well.

Islamic State: Turkey authorises deployment of forces to combat militants in Iraq and Syria
Turkey's parliament has given the government approval to deploy Turkish armed forces to combat Islamist jihadists in Syria and Iraq.
The motion, approved by a three-quarters majority, allows the use of Turkey's armed forces in its neighbouring countries as well as for foreign forces to transit through Turkish territory in operations against Islamic State (IS) jihadists.
The mandate, which would last for one year, is very broad in scope but does not specifically commit Turkey to sending armed troops into Syria and Iraq.
Ankara has come under pressure to play a more robust role in the US-led military campaign against IS militants after the insurgents advanced to within clear sight of Turkish military positions on the Syrian border.
But president Tayyip Erdogan insists air strikes alone will not contain the threat and is calling for the removal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, an aim not shared by the US-led military coalition.
Ankara is also reluctant to take action that may strengthen Kurdish fighters allied to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a militant group that has fought the Turkish state for three decades and with which it is conducting fragile peace talks.
The PKK is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
Fears IS militants will enter Kobane 'at any moment'
Islamic State insurgents have tightened their grip on the besieged Syrian border town of Kobane despite coalition air strikes, sending thousands more Kurdish refugees into Turkey and dragging Ankara deeper into the conflict.
A Syrian activist group said virtually all of Kobane's residents had fled across the border into Turkey. Kurdish leaders have asked the US-led coalition to provide air support to those defending the town.
Kurdish militants warned that peace talks with the Turkish state would come to an end if the Islamist insurgents were allowed to carry out a massacre in the predominantly Kurdish town, pressuring Ankara to act.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors Syria's war, said Islamic State militants were clashing with Kurdish fighters hundreds of metres from Kobane, raising fears they would enter the town "at any moment".
Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute, said IS is Turkey's greatest existential threat since 1946.
"Erdogan and prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu know that only the United States has the necessary military hardware and intelligence assets to defeat IS in the long term," he said.
Mr Cagaptay said that while Turkey would offer logistics and intelligence support, it was unlikely to wholeheartedly back a military strategy that does not target Syrian president Assad.
President Erdogan said on Wednesday that Turkey's priority was also to enable the 1.5 million refugees it has taken in from Syria's conflict to return home.

Nashik, Mar 11: Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh on Monday alleged that the Congress and NCP had ''hidden support'' for the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's (MNS) ''regionalism''. ''Just like they gave birth to Bhindranwala in Punjab and United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) in Assam, Mr Vilasrao Deshmukh and Mr Sharad Pawar are giving credence to MNS leader Raj Thackeray,'' Amar Singh said here.
The Samajwadi Party leader, accompanied by MP Abu Azmi, was in the city to present a cheque of Rs five lakh to the kin of Ambadas Dharrao, the HAL employee, who lost his life during the MNS agitation on February 13. The SP leader also criticised the Chief Minister's statement regarding strain on Mumbai due to inflow of people from 'outside'.
He said though Mr Deshmukh's statements were not so provocative, it had the same tone that people from outside should not come to Maharashtra. Mr Singh said most of the former Shiv Sena leaders - Narayan Rane, Chhagan Bhujbal, Sanjay Nirupam were either in Congress or NCP now. ''They are all troubled by Uddhav Thackeray. Due to fear of the Shiv Sena's growing supremacy, all these leaders have taken shelter of Maharashtraism''.
He also appealed to politicians not to take innocent lives for their political ends. He said the MNS agitation was aimed at encouraging regionalism and break the nation.
The SP leader said his party, which came into existence to eradicate communal forces, would make all possible efforts to save the country from such forces and maintain harmony among people.
He also said North Indians have contributed to the making of Maharashtra and will contribute in future also. Some North Indians were also given financial assistance on the occasion.

People are often looking for ways to make side money. They find that their regular jobs do not pay enough and they want money for trips and special purchases.
There are a few ways to make side money. Some of these involve utilizing talents that people have. If a person knows how to design websites, then many people need someone to help them with starting one up for a business or even personally as a blog. A person can advertise freelance service online or on Craigslist.
Another way is to start a business in the area. A person can walk dogs for example. Then the individual can post flyers at a local coffee shop with a name and number to tear off. These businesses often work because people have increasingly busy lives and find it difficult to keep up with the demands.
The ways to make side money are seemingly endless. Make sure to take precautions though when dealing with new clients.

I am getting things up and running on a community site called GeekMeets.
Frustrated at having missed both XTech 2006 and BarCampAmsterdamii I have decided to set up a geek centric event community and calendar.
The community wiki part of it should be up and running by the weekend. [Only just bought the domain!]
The calendar I am going to have to hack together, but for the moment it will be a public GoogleCalendar that I will manually add events to that are added to wiki.
[I do hope I get time to sleep!]
Well that is what happens when I get frustrated! I write my own solution!

As I am a very productive student in my final year of University (hopefully), I was talking to my friends on VC and decided that everyone should become Jes aka me. Now I admit, I am not the most humorous of people but sometimes. Just sometimes, I am not a lifeless force.
Thus, Jesapocolypse 2.0. happened which included a lot of hilarious art. Also, an all-around feeling of why are we doing this entering all our minds.
Which now leads to a deeper rabbit hole of friendship. I am someone who struggles with connecting with people. Even more of an obstacle is the ability to maintain these connections. Yet here I was, having known these people for months and I still adore them.
I have been writing about friendship a lot lately, both good and bad. Especially true as I had just created this blog. This leaves me with more questions. Healthy and harmful relationships are a huge part in driving force of what makes an individual. Personal experience has shown me the impacts of both on a person.
Although, it makes me wonder how much can we blame on the company we seek and our own 'autonomy'. I remember my old English teacher trying to implore us to think about free will and what it means, especially with the book 'Free Will'. Going back to relationships, especially friendships, how in control of the people we are drawn to and when we decide to take the plunge from strangers to friends.
Further than that, what makes friendships so important as they become an intrinsic part of you and your identity. Not that I don't love my friends, I do. I just wonder, why do they affect you so much. Misery and joy intensified, probably our ability to empathise increases as we can identify with the people we care about. Even more so, when those components are directed towards us.
I will not pretend to know the answers to these questions but I will say this.
Todays Jesapocolypse 2.0. was a wild event.
p.s. The artist for this particular piece of work and what spawned a number of hilarious pieces.

From Catalinbread
The more time I spent with the Bicycle Delay the more it unfolded its complexities to me. The harder I thought about what it was doing, the more difficult it was to put my finger on it. The more that I surrendered to what it was showing me, the more it set me free to be musically creative. In much the same way it took a computer to visualize a Mandelbrot Set, it took the Bicycle Delay for me to find the organic beauty in disharmony.
The way pedal behaves is also metaphoric to how I've been looking at life. Approach it from a negative perspective, go ahead, make it spiral downward. There is beauty in it, like there is enjoyment in picking at a scab. It'll take you to darker musical places fitting for the vampires at night. It all depends on your mood. Bring it up, it wants to take off. Happiness in a madhouse. The most difficult and interesting stuff begins to happen when you keep it balanced. Edges of notes brighten radiantly to prominence, like the flora and fauna do when I walk Clemma in the early morning sun.
The Bicycle Delay is as organic as a computer growing from a tree. Sonically the pedal is ever changing, even turning the knobs has an amorphous behavior. Go with it.

GRIT by Angela Duckworth
If there was one thing that is focussed in my life, it's, me being a scatter brain. One of my biggest problems is to stick to something until completion. Whether it is finishing a project or setting up a deadline, I could not just do it. I had to do something about this and fortunately I stumbled upon this book by Angela Duckworth called GRIT.
I could not keep my eyes off a minute I opened this book (actually a kindle book). This is a book for all age-groups and to all professions.
Key Insights from the book
- Success stories of people having grit and what they achieved: There are plenty of stories on how these guys had grit and pursued in life.
- Learning the Hard Rule Principle for my family:a. Everyone in the family has to do something that's hard
b. You have to finish what you start
c. No one gets to pick the hard rule for anyone else
I loved these three principles and began to follow them. one of my hard rule principle is to memorise scriptures from the Bible. Right now, I have started from the letter to the Ephesians and wanting to complete by this month end. Yup… the entire Book. I am not sure if I can do this, but God will be my guide.
- The most important aspect that I have learnt is to never give up on something that you have started. Just this morning (13/Jan/17), my son wanted to quit learning drums in school as the master scolded him for doing something wrong. My first reaction was to ensure that he is happy and pull him out of the training. But thanks to reading this book, I told him to stick on and practice the toughest part and let me know how it is going. I felt a relief as I know that this will help him do better than pull him out of it.
- Finally, a thorough research is being done on people having grit and otherwise and hence the results are very reliable.
I highly recommend this book to everyone and the need to see to get this fulfilled living in our wonderful 21st century of distractions.

Jan's Profile
I love making teddy bears, especially miniature teddy bears. My micro mini bears are 3/4in(18mm) tall, standing up. I'm also into cloth dolls, felting, knitting and crochet.
I have been a crafter for many years - since I was about 8 years old, when my grandmother, who was a dressmaker, taught me how to sew on buttons, and make clothes for my dolls. I have been busy making things ever since. Thanks Nana!
My other interests include scrapbooking, stamping, picture framing, embroidery and cross-stitch, family history research, and recently, quilting.
By the way, I am married, have 2 sons, and work part-time as an Integration Aide at a local Primary School.
I have recently started my blog. You can visit me at whoframedteddy.blogspot.com

No-frills canonization for Popes JPII, John XXIII
VATICAN CITY — The low-frills style of Pope Francis is having an effect on the upcoming canonizations of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII.
Organizers of the event said Monday the April 27 saint-making ceremony is going to be a much more sober affair than the three-day extravaganza that accompanied John Paul's 2011 beatification.
That 2011 event included a prayer vigil on Rome's Circus Maximus field for tens of thousands of people and ended up costing several times the original estimate of 1.2 million euros (US$1.65 million).
No such vigil is planned this time around.

New Home › Forum › Mostly Printed CNC – MPCNC › Your Builds – MPCNC › First Test Run on my New CNC + Pic and Video › Reply To: First Test Run on my New CNC + Pic and Video
Sorry you're having trouble finding the door sweep, Ryan LB! I recently learned that the brush used on industrial machines is called a strip brush, and is available at McMaster-Carr, Grainger, and other places.
I found yesterday that my dust shoe and brush were pushing my router off of the toolpath. To avoid this, I recommend making sure that your bit extends below the bottom of the brush when milling the deepest cut for your project (I was cutting 15mm deep). This might reduce the effectiveness of the dust shoe somewhat, but it should still work.
The problem is caused by a combination of the stiffness of the bristles, and the size of shoe we're using (it creates more torsion on the tool and mount). I am currently working on a new design with a smaller footprint, and am also looking to purchase some much softer strip brush (horsehair, probably). Switching to horsehair alone would probably solve the torsion issue, but I also want a smaller footprint so the shoe is not covering up the work as much.
Anyway, the original dust shoe works fine, just keep in mind the things above, and look for a softer sweep when you can.
Here's what the new design looks like so far – I'm just now building it, so haven't tested it yet:

Words are the essence of communication: They are the building blocks of any language.

Just to prove that I have actually accomplished something since last blogging about this project! In fact, I've gotten more done than I thought, because the skirt is just about finished.
Chobits cosplay – part one
Well, I'm going to be quite busy with work stuff over the next few weeks, and most likely won't be doing much sewing. I should pick it up again sometime after February. In the meantime, though, I did get a bit of a start on my cosplays!
