Japanese Popular Culture
From the floating world to nonsense machines
Part One of Two
An exceptional combination of five remarkable exhibits at two different venues currently affords viewers a rare opportunity to explore the world of Japanese popular culture from the early 18th century to the current avant-garde. Viewers will also examine some of the ways in which Japanese and Western art forms have informed each other over the centuries.
The two complementary venues are the UO Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the White Lotus gallery. Besides its Japanese room dedicated to the museum's own collection of Japanese artifacts, the JSMA currently showcases four different exhibits focusing on Japan.
During the Edo period in Japan (1603-1867), under the military rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, the new capital Edo (now Tokyo) grew from a fishermen's village into a city of more than a million inhabitants. Urbanization fostered the development of a money economy with flourishing trade and banking, the rise of the merchant class and the emergence of a new distinct urban culture (chônindô, "the way of townspeople").
|Eizan of the Takeya, by Chôkôsai Eishô c. 1790s, on loan from the Weatherspoon Art Museum, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, gift of Dr. Lenoir C. Wright, 1967.
For the first time, townspeople (chônin) had enough leisure to enjoy a booming world of entertainment that included kabuki and puppet theaters, teahouses, festivals and the brothel district, all of which attracted customers from all walks of life. This ephemeral world of pleasure and escapism became known in the 17th century as ukiyo, the floating world. The term ukiyo also connoted the Buddhist concept of illusory reality.
The mass culture that accompanied the rise of the lower social classes found its expression in a new commercial artform, the woodblock print. Although the term ukiyo-e ("picture of the floating world") also included paintings, woodblock prints were the cheapest, most popular and most versatile medium. Paintings were for the elite classes, prints for everyone else. Ranging from cheap black-and-white images to luxurious designs, they were suitable for mass production.
"Inside the Floating World: Japanese Prints from the Lenoir C. Wright Collection" (JSMA), is a traveling exhibition organized by the Weatherspoon Art Museum (North Carolina) and curated by Allen Hockley, art historian at Dartmouth College. Its 100 thematically grouped prints by prominent artists span the entire history of the ukiyo-e, providing a superb overview of the tradition.
Exhibit designer Kurt Neugebauer masterfully set the stage with a wide Prussian blue frieze that visually lowers the ceiling and ensures that the small white-matted prints are not lost against a huge white wall. A traditional orange carp-streamer (loaned by Dr. Lee Michels) floats delightfully against this luminous blue echoed in many of the prints. At regular intervals, the tall verticals of hashira-e (pillar prints) posters break the horizontal space and impart rhythm to the installation.
The earliest prints displaying ukiyo-e topics date from the early 17th century. These black-and-white prints (sumizuri-e) were often hand-colored. The simplicity of their design and their flowing lines recall those of paintings. Masanobu's depiction of a man dreaming of a "poison prostitute spider" is a wonderful example of this early style.
In the 1740s, printing was done in two colors (benuziri-e). Full-color prints, nishiki-e ("brocade prints"), took over in 1765. The number of color blocks depended on the intended market: while inexpensive editions and book illustrations used three to five colors, luxury prints could require up to 30 blocks.
Print production involved a threefold division of labor. The Ukiyo-e artist designed a preparatory brush drawing (shita-e) that was then traced on very thin paper. The master-carver pasted this hanshita-e (block design) faced down onto a cherry-wood block and carved through the paper, leaving the design outlines in high relief to create a key-block. Assistants carved separate blocks for each color. Guide marks (kento) were carved on each block to ensure the drawing and colors would register correctly on each print. Samples of key- and color-blocks are displayed together with a set of traditional tools.
Printers used paper handmade from kôzo (mulberry) and, originally, traditional translucent vegetal and inorganic pigments with uneven lightfastness. By the mid-1860s, aniline dyes (synthesized in England in the 1850s) became widely used. Their intensity was viewed by many critics and collectors as a symptom of garish decadence, but they were popular and many considered them a sign of modernization and progress. The better printmakers knew to use them cautiously and to good effect.
Subject-matter in ukiyo-e reflected the interests of the Edo population of the time and provided a wide-range depiction of the contemporary urban world of the merchant and craft classes. Most themes are represented here – to the exclusion of the highly popular erotic shunga prints ("images of spring").
Ukiyo-e chronicled every aspect of the highly-ritualized Kabuki world, from dressing-rooms and backstage areas to actors on stage in stylized poses and theatrical expressions. Kunisada's triptych, Interior of the Morita-za Kabuik Theater, details not only the setting but the socially diverse audience while actors on stage play the third act of Shibaraku, a traditional season-opener.
Climactic moments were abundantly illustrated in colorful, dramatic compositions and stylized designs. A popular play such as Chûshingura (A Treasury of Loyal Retainers) prompted series of eleven prints (one per act). By the 1770s, settings became more detailed and bust-portraits (ôkubi-e) offered close-up views of leading actors, highlighting their unique features.
The other dominant genre was the bijinga, pictures of beautiful women from all walks of life – though most were courtesans, who were considered models of refinement and elegance. Ukiyo-e artists kept up with, and documented, the rapidly changing fashions in clothing, hairstyles and ornaments, as well as the ever-evolving conception of ideal beauty. Thus the sturdy capable woman of the early 17th century turns in the 1760s into a slender delicate adolescent baring her nape enticingly before maturing in the 19th century into a lofty beauty in increasingly complex and monumental hairstyles.
The women depicted were idealized types, not individuals. Garments, hairstyles and held objects indicated class and occupation. Courtesans were identified by their name and that of the brothel they belonged to, not by any personal features. Vertical diptychs (kakemono-e) provided affordable alternatives to the paintings of courtesans commissioned by wealthy patrons. The bijinga also extended its owner vicarious enjoyment of the floating world.
Japan possessed the highest literacy rate in the pre-modern world, and classical literature and poetry also supplied the ukiyo-e artist with themes and characters. The latter included the poets themselves, such as Ono no Komachi (depicted by Eishi in the manner of the Heian period in which she lived) and Fujiwara no Yasumasa (expressively portrayed by Yoshitoshi in a triptych as magical as the poet's music in the rhythm of its lines and the precise economy of its composition).
Heroines and heroes out of century-old legends and tales, warriors out of medieval epics and war chronicles (gunki), all come to life in dramatic narrative scenes, each detail scrupulously faithful to its description in written sources.
Many ukiyo-e include poems: classical and contemporary, playful verses and memorial poems on shini-e (death prints), verses by actors and poems by courtesans.
|One Hundred Aspects of the Moon #88: A Summer Evening, woodblock print by Yoshitoshi
For the culturally literate, one genre provided an intellectual form of entertainment: the mitate-e, variously translated as "parody prints" or "look and compare pictures." As applied to poetry, mitate referred to figurative language. Ukiyo-e artists transferred these poetic techniques to their visual medium by incorporating multiple layers of cultural references (allusions to classical poetry, visual borrowings from other artists, transpositions of historical scenes to the present and vice-versa) to their designs to create simultaneous levels of meaning. Within the same print, playful or ironic connections were established between past and present, classical art and popular culture, the refined and the vulgar.
Toyohiro's mitate-e, Contemporary Beauty with Heian-period Courtier, juxtaposes protagonists from different eras within a landscape which is the subject of the poem inscribed on the print, itself written by the male character, the poet Fujiwara no Teika, and an inspiration for previous mitate-e, which are here visually referred to.
Travel and sightseeing in the guise of pilgrimage became increasingly popular in the late 1700s. Publishers produced illustrated travel-guides and tourist maps. Hokusai's 1806 series, Fifty-Three Stations of the Tôkaidô established a precedent with its inclusion of travelers and human activities. Hiroshige's 1930s series on the same theme entrenched him a one of the giants of the landscape genre.
Surimono were prints privately commissioned for special occasions (musical performances, poetry gatherings). Their motifs are numerous and even include still lifes. What they share are high-quality paper, expensive pigments and the use of special techniques such as the sprinkling of metal powders (brass, copper) and minerals (mica), gauffrage and embossing (achieved with a dry printing block).
What all these prints have in common, beside their obvious historical interest, is an exquisite sense of pattern and structure. Hockley's full-color catalogue accompanying the show provides indispensable explanations of the prints' content and socio-political and cultural context. Regrettably, it omits any discussion of their stylistic and aesthetic features.

NYC Meets PDX
East/West choreography at UO
A bi-coastal offering jumps on the boards when the UO Dance Department presents new and recent works by New York-based choreographer Gabriel Masson and Portland dance artist Linda K. Johnson on Nov. 11 and 12.
Masson's career as a dancer and choreographer spans 20 years, after he wandered into a modern dance class in Mississippi and found his calling. "I was home," he says.
|Gabe Masson
Masson has toured with Dance Olympians Lucinda Childs and Doug Varone. At the UO concert, he presents "A Story About Apples," his latest exploration of the multimedia format he's investigated in recent years. This premiere performance features Masson with UO alumna Sarah Ebert, whose move to Portland has left a void on Eugene stages. Her lyrical but grounded style can't be beat. Catch her in Masson's solo, "Inevitable," set to a Philip Glass violin concerto. Masson, whose élan as a performer is matched by his inquisitive nature as an artist, will also offer a new solo, "The Day Before Yesterday," to a score by Guy Klucevsek.
Johnson will premiere "What Remains … Requiem," a solo developed while in residency at the Caldera artist's retreat program in Blue Lake, Ore. Johnson, who calls herself a "dance-based artist" has created place-based performance in the Northwest for 13 years. She received national attention and praise for her site-specific reclamation of a scrubby traffic circle in Portland that she adopted for a year to nurture as a garden. The culminating action-art drew attention to how much of our suburban and urban landscape stands fallow and unappreciated, while sprawl sprawls. If you bemoan the seeming disconnects between art and politics, you'll find Johnson's work savvy and refreshing.
Dougherty Dance Theatre on the third floor of the Gerlinger Annex opens at 7:30 pm for the 8 pm show on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are available at the door; $10 general admission, $5 students and seniors. Limited seating.
Insane Plots
Tales from NaNoWriMo part II.
A woman in a blue knitted cap and scarf perched on her chair. On the table lay a bulging file folder, brimming with sheaves of handwritten and typed paper. "All of these" — she held up her folder — "are my notes for this novel." But, "my heroine hasn't left home yet," she said. Blue Cap is more than 11,000 words into National Novel Writing Month's 50,000-word goal, and her character must leave the village soon. Her notes had been sitting around for months, she said, but since beginning writing Nov. 1, the plot had become clearer. "I didn't plan that, but it's working," she said, delighted.
Another participant noted, "We are wired to do art, and there are so few opportunities." With NaNoWriMo, "we have a reason and other people to be accountable to." In the process of moving from Tigard, this writer hasn't met her word count goal. "It's not the end of the world if you don't make it," she noted.
The group is determined to "make it" — in NaNoWriMo parlance, to "win." By next Sunday, when we meet again (from noon to 2 pm at Triomphe), each WriMo should have another 11,670 words on paper.
A young woman said, "I have seven subplots, but no plot."
We told her we will start a "What if?" thread in our online community at www.nanowrimo.org. For instance, someone said, "What if your character got into a car crash?"
After six days, the international word count teeters toward 150 million, from about 60,000 participants. The Eugene metro area now has about 146 participants. Registration is open until Nov. 25, at which point someone would have to write 10,000 words a day to win. But people do it.
Seven Subplots glanced around the coffee shop and said, "There are a lot of insane people out there."
Lake O'Hara
Spend this winter planning a trip to the golden heart of the Rockies.
It would be impossible to experience all the natural wonders of western North America in a human lifetime, and maybe even harder to pick the most scenic spot on the left side of the continent (is there another side?).
A backpacking trip to the bottom of the Grand Canyon will take you through a dozen different climate and vegetation zones, each one more spectacular than the next. You haven't lived until you've seen the spring wildflower blooms transform the somber floor of Death Valley, or seen the northern lights dancing over a vast plain of fiery-red tundra at Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska.
But if I had to pick one place for plain old jaw-dropping scenery, it would have to be Lake O'Hara, a cobalt-blue tarn lying at the feet of 10,000 foot vertical peaks in Canada's Yoho National Park, deep in the heart of the northern Rockies.
Fall is the time to make the pilgrimage to this Mecca of alpine scenery, when glistening snow-capped peaks are framed by the fluorescent golden glow of the larch forest.
The larch is the most contrary of the class Coniferae. Unlike its cousins, who remain boring green pyramids year round, the larch changes from iridescent lime to a shimmering yellow-gold before losing its leaves during the long winter months. This color change is among the most spectacular in nature, and Lake O'Hara is hands-down the best larch turn in the world.
No one who makes the long trip to O'Hara will be disappointed, but it is a LONG drive from Eugene — just about 15 hours. To get there, drive I-5 north into Canada, and pick up the Trans-Canada Highway (Canada Hwy. 1) heading east.
A bus takes visitors to Lake O'Hara from a parking lot found on Hwy. 1 about 15 kilometers east of the small town of Field. (Every other house in Field is a charming bed and breakfast with rooms for around $100 a night Canadian.) Access to a campground at the lake is restricted and you will need to make reservations for the bus ($15) and for a camping spot ($9 a night) by calling (250) 343-6433. The campground has several warming huts and the Lake O'Hara Trails Club operates Le Relais Day Shelter, where you can warm up and buy a hot drink or snack.
The bus to the campground typically runs from the middle of June to the first week of October, and the larch is usually at its peak towards the end of September.
If you can only spend one day at O'Hara, make it count by hiking the Alpine Circuit, one of the most famous day hikes in the world. Walk up the road towards the lake from the campground. Head clockwise around the lakeshore. Just under a half a kilometer from a small bridge over the lake's outlet, turn uphill (left) onto the Wiwaxy Gap trail.
This trail is steep, climbing more than 500 meters in less than a kilometer and a half. The good news is that the trail remains relatively level as you wind your away around the rim of a spectacular alpine basin.
From 2,500 meter Wiwaxy Gap, descend southeast across ledges and talus slops for 1.7 kilometers to emerald-green Lake Oesa, a miniature Lake O'Hara resting in the shadow of enormous snow-capped peaks.
From Oesa, pick up the 2.2 km Yukness Ledge Alpine Route. As the name suggests, you will pick your way across a rough boulder-strewn ledge beneath Mt. Yukness. You can fall a long ways from here, but a greater danger is cardiac arrest from the spectacular views of Lake O'Hara and the jagged peaks to the west.
After the long ledge traverse you drop to Opabin Basin, a maze of trails that weaves through stunning larch forest and myriad small pools and streams. It is common to come within spitting distance of mountain goats on this section of the trail.
After exploring Opabin for a few hours, pick up the 1.9-kilometer All Souls Route heading west. There's a steady climb past the Hanging Garden of Babylon (return in the spring for the flowers) to another fantastic overlook at the foot of Mount Schäffer. From here you descend sharply and take a right turn onto the Big Larches trail, which contains some of the most magnificent larch forest in the valley. The Big Larches Trail drops back down to the lake, completing the circuit.
But hopefully not the end of your adventures in the golden heart of the Rockies.
Banking on Beetles
What happened to my aphids?
If your garden existed in a state of balance — perhaps grace would be a better term — you would be able to ignore insects almost completely and get on with the real purpose of your life, which is to weed. — ERIC GRISSELL
The first few years after we converted a patch of grass into a garden, aphids were a conspicuous spring feature, especially on rose shoots. I rubbed them off with my fingers, blasted them with water and occasionally resorted to insecticidal soap, but they still hung around until the rains stopped in June or July. Weevils used to be a problem, too. Now insect pests rarely attract my notice, and even slugs are scarcely an issue. What has changed in our yard that might account for this? I suspect that, mostly inadvertently, we have provided a mixed environment that's increasingly friendly to insects.
If this sounds like a paradox, read on. In his book Insects and Gardens: In Pursuit of a Garden Ecology, Eric Grissell pointed out that an overwhelming majority of insects are not harmful in the garden. They are, on the contrary, either beneficial or (from a gardener's point of view) neutral. Beneficials include pollinators and miniature garbage disposal units, but they also include a vast array of insects that prey on other insects. Lady beetles and their larvae feed mainly on aphids, but some eat mites, scale insects and even mildew. Ground beetles prey on slugs, snails, mites and insects that can be harmful to garden flowers and vegetables. Hoverfly and lacewing larvae eat aphids voraciously. Parasitic wasps knock out not only aphids but cabbage loopers and cutworms, too.
Grissell proposed that insects become pests only when insect life is out of balance. The more diverse and biologically friendly the environment, the more insects there will be and the more likely they will live in equilibrium with one another and other elements in the environment. Things that throw insect populations out of balance include the use of chemicals and the existence of plant monocultures. Our yard is mostly filled with big, closely planted beds of shrubs and flowering perennials. Since our two small areas of grass were invaded by prunella, clover and other things, we have no monocultures, and on the rare occasions we use pesticides we use only non-persistent remedies like soap, sulfur and bicarbonate of soda. We also keep outdoor lights to a minimum, and don't use bug zappers (95 percent of the insects they kill are not mosquitoes, apparently).
Actively promoting diversity is particularly valuable to vegetable gardeners, who must inevitably plant some monocultures. Organic farmers use flowering insectary rows and weed patches to attract beneficial insects such as hoverflies and parasitic wasps. In Britain, to counter the disappearance of the hedgerows that once formed a reservoir of biological variety, farmers and conservationists invented the "beetle bank," a raised area of tussocky perennial grasses and weeds that provides habitat for predatory ground beetles and other insects as well as spiders, small mammals and ground-nesting birds which, of course, also eat insects. Conservation strips, a combination of these two ideas, are now being studied in several places in North America.
We can easily adapt these methods for our gardens. What's the best "beetle bank" for a little yard? Beetles and spiders need a dry, airy environment with lots of decaying vegetable matter, so the cooler parts of a compost heap can be perfect. Within the garden, you could make room for an old half-wine barrel filled with potting soil and planted with hummocky grass — orchard grass and timothy are classic, but a clumping native or ornamental grass would do fine — perhaps our native tufted hairgrass, Deschampsia cespitosa. Loose mulches and dead perennial tops also provide a winter home for beetles and other insects. Like many gardeners, I now cut back perennials in spring instead of fall. We enjoy late flowers and fall color; the bugs enjoy the mess.
Large areas of lawn are easily modified by leaving certain areas unmowed. In a small garden, one or two corners could be left uncut and enriched with flowers that encourage beneficial insects. Members of the daisy, mustard, mint and carrot families are widely cited. Carol Savonen, a science communications specialist at OSU, recommends "a mix of yarrow, wild buckwheat, white sweet clover, tansy, sweet fennel, sweet alyssum, spearmint, Queen Anne's lace, hairy vetch, flowering buckwheat, crimson clover, cowpeas, common knotweed, caraway and black locust." Lucky me, two of my neighbors have black locust trees.

text: DIY Cake Stand Everything looks better on a pedestal. Even in ancient times they put statues up on stands, and at some point somebody decided that cakes and desserts deserve to be treated as objects of worship, too. And so cake stands were invented. The Mosser glass jadeite version kills me (it comes in a bunch of lovely colors: black and white and even pink). So while I don't bake enough cakes to really justify buying a cake stand, the other issue is that I can't decide which color to buy. Luckily, it's very easy to make your own cake stand from thrift store supplies. I've seen these made with upside-down metal cake or tart pans, pizza pans, or even terracotta pots or log rounds, and many different styles of candle holders, cups, or wine glasses for the base. (These wild cat cake stands are a really fun twist on the idea, too.) There are about a million different variations, but when I spotted this pretty wooden candle holder at a thrift store, I knew I needed to make my own version of this beautiful wood and ceramic cake stand. It just took a little glue, and soon I had my very own cake stand. Supplies: Candle holder – I found mine secondhand, but World Market has a good selection. Plate – As flat as possible is best. Glue – I used Gorilla Glue Epoxy, but I've seen people use everything from E6000 to silicone aquarium glue. Stick or skewer – To mix and apply the glue. Steps: 1. Make sure your plate and candle holder are nice and clean. Mix up your glue and apply it to the candle holder, then press it to the center of the bottom of the plate. Let dry. That's it! You don't have to limit the use of cake stands to edibles. Pile them with flowers, or your collection of matchbooks, candles, or rocks (or all of the above). I've seen them used for jewelry storage or perfume on a vanity, and with plants or candles on top they can work as a table centerpiece, too. They're so versatile that obviously we all need several in every color. Now I have to give Portland spring and its flowers a shout-out here. I just went out in my front yard and cut all of these blossoms. To those of you still suffering through winter, I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll have flowers soon, too!

Did Warren Sapp put Bill Belichick on the four-hour watch? According to the former defensive tackle, yes. Yes, he did.
Sapp has a new book coming out, so it's his turn to do the TV/radio show circuit, dropping little salacious anecdotes here and there.
He certainly did that on Tuesday on the Scott Van Pelt Radio Show on ESPN Radio when talking about an alleged conversation he had with Belichick. When Sapp was set to enter the NFL draft in 1995, he says Belichick — then coach of the Browns — was excited about the idea of drafting Sapp. Like, really excited.
"He said, 'I wanna draft you so bad that I have an erection right now,'" Sapp told ESPN Radio.
OK, then. We all know that Belichick loves football, but this takes it a little far, no?
However, everybody's favorite football genius was left feeling blue, as the relationship wasn't meant to be. Sapp claims that Belichick was denied the ability to take him by Mike Lombardi, then a Browns personnel executive. Talk about your "on the clock" block.
This little tidbit could be completely fabricated by Sapp — it wouldn't be the first time he's been accused of doing such — but Belichick does really like good football players, and Sapp was certainly just that coming out of Miami.
ProFootballTalk.com does a great job of detailing what happened instead. As PFT points out, the Browns were in a position in which they could take Sapp — who would eventually go to Tampa Bay at No. 12 — but Cleveland traded the 10th pick, something that sounds a little more Belichickian. Of course, that ended up working out pretty well for Cleveland/Baltimore. They eventually nabbed the 49ers' first-round pick in '96.
They took Ray Lewis.
Felix Hernandez didn't throw a perfect game on Tuesday night. Instead, he pitched 7 2/3 innings and gave up one run. Stiff.
"Obviously, I can either scour the Internet or watch all the stuff being said on TV or I can just keep pitching and watch the Golf Channel, I guess."
–Stephen Strasburg doesn't sound concerned about his innings limit
It's our pleasure, and there's still another whole day to join Darren and give to a great cause.
Another year, another #JimmyFund donation! The guys & girls at @weei @nesn & @jimmyfund are doing a great job! #KCANCER

The Super Bowl of shopping had an early start again this year, but the game isn't over yet.
Early numbers aren't out yet on how many shoppers headed to stores on Thanksgiving, but it's expected that more than three times the number of people will venture out to shop on the day after the holiday known as Black Friday.
Sabrina Rajkumar, 36, a writer from New York, started shopping with her stepmom at Macy's at 7:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving and was just wrapping up at 5:30 a.m. Friday. She found a $50 bedding set and a dress for her niece marked down to $25 from $74 and Godiva chocolates for $8.
"I'm from New York and I've never done Black Friday before," she said. "We just wanted to experience the madness."
She said she didn't think she'd like it since she usually buys personalized gifts at places like Etsy, but she had fun. A highlight was free samples of espresso from machines on sale.
"It was crazy, not as crazy as I expected, but there were still a lot of folks there up to the wee hours," she said.
Overall, the National Retail Federation expected about 30 million to shop on Thanksgiving, compared with 99.7 million on Black Friday. Overall, the trade group estimates about 135.8 million people will be shopping during the four-day weekend, compared with 133.7 million last year. And it expects sales overall for November and December to rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion compared with the same period last year.
Macy's officials said about 15,000 people were at the 6 p.m. opening at its flagship store in Manhattan. An hour and a half before the Toys R Us in New York's Times Square opened at 5 p.m., about 40 people stood in line.
And at the 24-hour Wal-Mart store in Naperville, Illinois, the aisles were clogged with people and carts by 6 p.m., when employees began pulling shrink wrap off palettes of merchandise to mark the official start of Black Friday deals.
Outside, the scene was much the same. With the parking lot filled to capacity, drivers circled slowly looking for spaces, causing a backup of traffic trying to pull into the lot. Some gave up and parked in the near-empty lot of a fitness center and a Starbucks across the street.
"It's the worst wonderful time of the year!" an employee laughed as he collected shopping carts.
Shopper Julie Desireau snagged a $10 crockpot and the last $10 deep fryer and promptly hid them under a rack of women's flannel pajamas. Then the 29-year-old from Chicago called her husband, who was in the toy department with their cart, and told him to come pick her up.
"There's no way I'm going back there," she said.
After opening earlier and earlier on the holiday, this year, most of the more than dozen major retailers like Macy's, Target and Kohl's opened around the same time they did last year — about 5 p.m. or 6 p.m.
One big exception: J.C. Penney, which is opening two hours earlier at 3 p.m. on the holiday. Staples has reversed course and will close on the holiday. Sporting goods chain REI, which was always closed on Thanksgiving, is bowing out of Black Friday altogether and is asking employees and customers to spend time outdoors and not go shopping.
Still, stores aren't waiting around to push discounts on holiday goods until the official weekend. Increasingly, they've been discounting holiday merchandise earlier in the month. In fact, according to the National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, nearly 60 percent of holiday shoppers have already started holiday shopping as of Nov. 10.
That should take a bite out of the sales this weekend, though Black Friday should still rank as either number one or two in sales for the year.
While the economy has been improving, shoppers remain tight-fisted. Unemployment has settled into a healthy 5 percent rate, but shoppers still grapple with stagnant wages that are not keeping pace with rising daily costs like rent. Stores also are contending with an increasing shift to researching and buying online.
In response, Wal-Mart and Target made all deals available later in the stores online Thanksgiving morning. New this year at Target: shoppers who spend $75 or more on Friday will receive a 20 percent discount to use toward a future purchase on any day between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13.
Target CEO Brian Cornell told reporters on a conference call Thursday night that early results show that the discount chain is seeing higher traffic at its stores than last year and shoppers are buying items across the store, from clothing to electronics to toys. He also said that he has been pleased with strong results in online sales. Among some of the most popular doorbuster deals is a Westinghouse TV, marked down to $249.99, a savings of $350, he said. Target also offered 40 percent off of all fashion and accessories.
"This is the start of a really good shopping season," he said.
Some shoppers came out for the first time on the holiday. Maria Garcia-Chavez, who lives in Denver, stood in line in the snow with her husband and four children to get into J.C. Penney. She came looking for women's boots, on sale for $19.99
"This is my first time shopping on Thanksgiving. I want the deals," she said. "You have to come the first day. If we come back tomorrow, you can maybe get the same price -- if you're here at 6 a.m. I'm not going to get up that early. I'd rather sleep."
But not everyone is impressed with the Thanksgiving lines. By about an hour before Toys R Us in Times Square opened the line swelled to over 100.
"Black Friday isn't what it used to be," said Keith Nelson, 54, who works in security in the Brooklyn and was third in line after arriving about 2:15. "Lines used to be longer, people would be sleeping and bringing lounge chairs out here."
Lisa Gutierrez of Aurora, Illinois, thought her strategy of waiting to go shopping until after kickoff of Thursday night's Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game was a good one. Until she arrived at the Target near her home and found out the flat screen TVs she had her eye on were sold out almost immediately after the store opened at 6 p.m.
"That's a bummer," she said. On the bright side, "at least it's not a total madhouse in here."
The Naperville, Illinois, Target was busy but calm about two hours after opening. Most but not all checkout lanes were open and lines were short. Parking was readily available

System Recovery using Backup Disks
I am trying to do a system restore back to factory defaults using the operating system recovery disks that were given to me when I purchased my computer. They only gave me 2 disks (which are numbered 1/2 and 2/2) and now the restore process is asking for a 3rd disk? It's sitting at 78% restored right now. Am I missing something? I don't think I have another disk laying around, and definitely not one that is labeled system restore. If anyone knows a solution or has any idea what is happening please help me!

Looks like they did not give you a complete set. You were probably supposed to burn your recovery disc from the recovery partition.
But that's not a big problem. Use this approach - it will give you a much cleaner install without all that OEM bloatware.

The building of this ancient church was started in 1106 probably by St. Anselm, who owned the nearby Slindon 'Palace'. Archbishop Langton (a signatory of the Magna Carta) died there in 1228.
Holy Communion (both Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship) is celebrated two or three times a month. There is a service in St Mary's church every sunday following a monthly pattern: Prayer Book Matins with Holy Communion (1st Sunday 11.00 am); Family Service (2nd Sunday 10.00 am); Common Worship Holy Communion (3rd Sunday 11.00 am); and Prayer Book Evensong (4th Sunday 6.30 pm). There is also a thriving Children's Church on the 4th Sunday of each month (10.00 am). There is usually an additional Holy Communion Service at 8.00 am on the 4th Sunday; and in months with five Sundays, there is a United Benefice Service on the 5th Sunday (10.00 am) either at St Mary's or at one of our sister churches in Eartham and Madehurst. Full details are published each month in the Parish Magazine and posted on the church noticeboard.

Race to the bottom: Saddam Hussein's buttocks up for grabs

The toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in 2003 was a symbolic indication of the end of the late dictator's 24-year reign.
But the bronze statue was immediately pulled to pieces with many wanting a part of the iconic figure.
One of the remaining pieces is still attracting global attention; the section depicting Saddam's buttock.
A former paratrooper, who served in the 1990-91 Gulf War, was in Baghdad's Firdous Square as a photojournalist the day after the statue fell.
Nigel Ely, 53, "introduced himself as an ex-soldier to U.S. marines guarding the relic and asked if he could take a piece of it," the BBC reported Tuesday.
"They said 'Yea, buddy' and I hacked off a piece with the help of the U.S. marines," he told the BBC.
Ely, using a sledgehammer and chisel, ended up with a 2 foot part of the effigy depicting the buttock.
Similarly, the statue's head was cut off by crowds at the scene.
Ely has since turned the statue's section into war relic art.
The former paratrooper now hopes to seal a deal with Iraqi authorities and sell it to "raise money for military charities and groups, including Birmingham's Royal Centre for Defense Medicine which treats wounded soldiers," the BBC reported.
"But the relic failed to meet its reserve of £250,000 at a Derby auction in October, 2011," the report added.

Matt provided outstanding customer service. He Installed my heat pump quickly at a great price. I would highly recommend this business.
What a great service, our solar hot water has not been working well for months and was worried that calling out a repair man would cost me 1000's. It did not and although some major work had to be done, it was completed in quick time and cost me a fraction of a new system. The system has been fixed and my family are happy now to get hot water. great service Andrew

Great affordable service. You came out that day and had everything you needed to complete the work. A very well organised and professional company to deal with.

I can highly recommend Mathew for any Solar Hot water problems.
I rang him when our tank had started to leak. He was out the same day to inspect and advise the best course of action. He gave an obligation free quote and was available by phone to answer questions.
After ordering the new tank he spent half a day installing it together with new valves, slab, lagging, and any other parts that needed attention. Also, he was a mine of information on questions that I asked.
For prompt, friendly and reasonably priced service, you can't go wrong!
John, G.
Thank you for coming on short notice to fix our hot water system. The wife and kids weren't looking forward to another night without a hot shower and you
did it you legend. Happy you were able to make it the same day and get us up and running again. Seems to be working just fine now. Cheers bud!
Luke (Sunshine Coast)
We've had three plumbers look at our hot water issues. The previous guy said we needed a new system worth approx $5k. Mat nailed it in one visit and fixed our two year old issue in 30 mins. On time, happy to help and knows his stuff - insideout! Highly recommend.
Excellent. We rang yesterday and we have hot water today. Professional and friendly service. Fixed properly and the plumber didn't ask for my arm and leg or my first born child as payment. I would recommend Matt to anyone.
Unbelievable! Thank you so much guys for the quick, reliable and cost effective repairs on our hot water system. It is great to see some good old fashion service on the the Sunshine Coast again.

Unanswered: Link MS Access 2003 to database with Sybase
Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to link access table to Linux database using Sybase? I'm currently exporting an ad-hoc query from an application and using an Access update query to update a static table. I would like to have it continuously linked so that I can eliminate doing the ad-hoc all the time. I have never used Linux a day in my life, but have support to run any commands as needed. As far as I know, we currently have Sybase Central 4.3 and ASE 15.0.1. The problem is we don't know how to set up a user connection in Linux or through Sybase. I've gone through trying to link a table and choosing ODBC, but don't know how to find any of the connection settings or create a normal username and password. Any help step by step would be greatly appreciated or a link to a thorough tutorial. Thank you.

Villa overview - owner's description

Ideally situated in the heart of one of the greatest vineyard areas France has to offer, this family villa with pool near Bordeaux is just a 5 minute walk from both Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, one of the oldest wine properties in the region, and a range of restaurants and bars at Les Sources de Caudalie where a world famous spa is also located.
The villa's fully-enclosed and beautifully-maintained garden is perfect for those long, lazy afternoons in the sunshine, or indeed under the shade of mature pines. Late evenings of food and wine with family and friends can be enjoyed on the charming outdoor decked terrace. Inside, the open-plan layout creates a comfortable living environment, and a real sense of luxury is created by the impressive contemporary furnishings throughout.
This part of Aquitaine, known as the Gironde, boasts an array of charming towns and villages, as well as the famous port city of Bordeaux. Voted European Best Destination 2015, the city known as ''La Perle d'Aquitaine'' is famed for its stunning architecture and abundance of bars, shops and restaurants, namely within the Saint-Pierre district and along the entirely pedestrianised rue Sainte-Catherine. To the west, the bays and beaches in and around towns such as Arcachon, Pyla-sur-Mer and Cap Ferret provide a stark contrast to the vineyards further inland and make for an excellent day out for the family. Whether you are wine tasting, sightseeing, surfing, or simply enjoying the villa's tranquil surroundings, your stay in the heart of Aquitaine will be one to remember.
