Japanese people have different tastes from their Western counterparts (heck, many of our Culture Smash columns focus specifically on this sociological difference), and Japanese gamers are no exception. Every week, Japanese gaming magazine, Weekly Famitsu, collects user impressions of newly released video games. Users rate games from 1 to 10 and comment on what they liked or disliked about each game.
In this week's issue, Weekly Famitsu has collected and compiled all the user scores for games released in 2012 and ranked the top scorers. So which games were the Japanese user favourites? Take a look:

"The game incorporates all the good points from recent games while handily remaking the classic game Terry's Wonderland."
"I've played the original, so I was really anticipating the remake. The system has changed, but the graphics are upgraded and the additional scenario was fun."[clear]
#8: Kingdom Hearts 3D — Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
Number of User Reviews: 126
Average User Score: 9.45
User Comments:
"This is my first time with the series, but there is a tutorial, so it's easy for beginners to pick up. The game also explained a good deal of the previous story which allowed me to get into it."
"I was moved by the quality of the opening movie. I liked how the tutorial was very easy to follow. The action was a little difficult, but once you get used to it, it's not a problem, making this the perfect game to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary."[clear]
#7: Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS)
Number of User Reviews: 93
Average User Score: 9.48
User Comments:
"The graphics were some of the prettiest I've seen for a 3DS title. I was happy to be able to play a Resident Evil game on a portable console, but, to be honest, I would have liked to play it on a big screen."
"This game has a lot of points that feel like it's going back to its roots. The new system helps build the fear of the darkness."[clear]
#6: 2nd Super Robot Wars Z: Saisei-hen (PSP)
Number of User Reviews: 102
Average User Score: 9.49
User Comments:
"The most impressive point was the quality of the battle scenes! This level of quality on the PSP! No complaints here."
"Being able to get bonuses for playing the previous Hakai-hen game was nice. The story was a lot of fun, flowing quickly from beginning to end. It was unfortunate that some of the special abilities of certain robots could only be used toward the end of the game."
#5: Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (3DS)
Number of User Reviews: 60
Average User Score: 9.50
User Comments:
"This is my first time with the Harvest Moon series, but I was able to enjoy it without difficulty thanks to the tutorial. Veterans may find the tutorial a little pesky. Everything you can do in the game is a lot of fun."
"The added freedom make the game even more enjoyable than its predecessors. Being able to customise your character was a plus. The variety of crops and livestock made running the farm satisfyingly challenging."[clear]
#4: Gravity Daze (PS Vita)
Number of User Reviews: 110
Average User Score: 9.60
User Comments:
"The fast movement by the touch screen and motion controlled camera were innovative and enjoyable. The story was a little short. There are a lot of additional play elements like challenge missions and net ranking, but I wish there was more variety."
"It feels great to speed around through the air defeating enemies! The visuals and music are beautiful and the unique world is very immersive."[clear]
#3: Journey (PS3)
Number of User Reviews: 70
Average User Score: 9.70
User Comments:
"The fantastical world and game system makes you want to play again and again. This is a classic that every PlayStation 3 owner should play."
"The vast field is intimidating, but the controls are simple enough that anyone can play. It's a world with no words or text, so there's no dialogue, and yet I was in tears by the end of the story. I wish there were more trophies."[clear]
#2: Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita)
Number of User Reviews: 132
Average User Score: 9.71
User Comments:
"School life is a lot of fun! I like how Persona creation has been streamlined. Collecting cards for Persona fusion is fun and being able to set the difficulty made it easy to play. I would have liked the story to be a little bit more unpredictable."
"The fast-paced battles are exhilarating! The story theme of family and friendship was heartwarming and made playing the game a lot of fun. The additional modes like the movie viewer and quiz were very satisfying. I had no problem playing through multiple times."
#1: Super Dangan-Ronpa 2 — Goodbye, School of Despair (PSP)
Number of User Reviews: 87
Average User Score: 9.79
User Comments:
"I had to know what was going to happen so much I couldn't put the game down and ended up clearing the game in no time. Wondering if a character you like is going to survive to the end keeps you on pins and needles."
"All the plot points laid down are taken care of satisfyingly. It feels great when you solve all the puzzles!"

Dennis Rodman has named a team of former NBA players to play an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Rodman will lead the team that includes former NBA All-Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, and Vin Baker. Craig Hodges, Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith are on the team, as well. They will play against a top North Korean senior national team on Wednesday, marking Kim Jong Un's birthday.
Rodman is the highest profile American to meet Kim since the leader inherited power from his father in late 2011.
Rodman calls the game his version of "basketball diplomacy."
"My previous travels have allowed me to feel the enthusiasm and warmth of fans," Rodman said. "The positive memories and smiles on the faces of the children and families are a testament to the great efforts we have put into fulfilling our mission wherever we go voiding any politics. We are all looking forward to arriving in Pyongyang, meeting the citizens, visiting various charities and using the opportunity to develop new relationships that result in our annual return."
Rodman made his latest visit to North Korea shortly before Christmas to train the North Korean basketball team, though he did not meet with Kim. Rodman, known as much for his piercings, tattoos and bad behavior as he was for basketball, traveled to the secretive state for the first time last February with the Harlem Globetrotters for an HBO series produced by New York-based VICE television. Rodman has called Kim a "friend for life."
Rodman said his trips would not be affected by the recent execution of Kim's uncle.
Smith, who played for the New York Knicks, said he was looking forward to the game with Rodman.
"Dennis and I are total opposites but we work very well together," Smith said. "Dennis is one of the few people I know that doesn't just talk but actually lives a culturally diverse life. We have traveled everywhere together so I was not surprised with his first visit to North Korea.
"Cultural exchange is about sharing. Sharing ideas and thoughts on education, culture and life."
Irish betting company Paddy Power PLC -- a driving force behind the exhibition -- removed its name last month as the title sponsor. The company is still financing the trip and is honoring all contractual commitments.
Rodman has been criticized for not talking about North Korea's human rights record, described as one of the world's worst by activists, the U.S. State Department and North Korean defectors. The defectors have repeatedly testified about the government's alleged use of indiscriminate killings, rapes, beatings and prison camps holding as many as 120,000 people deemed opponents of authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, the third generation of his family to rule.

Can any party band play my favourite song?

SEPIA SATURDAY is a weekly meme which encourages bloggers to publish and share old images and photographs. All that is required is for contributors to post an old image (it doesn't have to be in sepia) and provide a few words in explanation. If you could provide a link back to the Sepia Saturday Blog and visit as many of the other contributors as you can, it would also be appreciated. There is no weekly theme, as such, but some people like to use the archive image published with the weekly call as a kind of theme. There is no requirement to adopt such an approach : the choice of image is entirely up to you. Once you have published your Sepia Saturday post, add a link to that post to the Linky List published each week and leave a comment to let everyone know you are joining in.

This reminds me of Cezanne's paintings of card players. At first I was going to do something with card players, but I ended up choosing something without cards.

Love the new layout! Thanks for featuring my blog in the roll call section. My post this week features not two men playing cards but two retired widows playing rummy kubes in a motel room as they traveled the wild west. CrazyasaCoolFox would like to thank everyone who followed this series and made wonderful comments. Sepia Saturday helped bring many new viewers. This is the final post of this series of Fran and Bunt's Western Adventure.

My post also features three men. That's where the similarity ends.

Please add me to your new participant list!
I sort of followed the card theme - but as always - I was taken of on an interesting side adventure. - 15 July 2011 at 20:07

Hello Alan from inside my local library, as it's storming all around us! Internet isn't bothered here! Thank you for including me in the side bar, but mostly thank you for such a cool blog! I have posted a day early for me, since tomorrow my youngest son says I do! I do! We hope anyway, no seriously he will he's been excited ever since he popped the question and she said YES! I think this week's photo rocks as always actually, have a great weekend!

My post this week is a puzzle that features card players.

A nice choice Alan. I think I've managed to keep in theme, with lots of extra media content too.
- 15 July 2011 at 23:55
Sorry peeps - I've gone off on a random tangent again with a funny little thing found in Dad's box of bits n bobs - any clues as to what on earth it might be, or the hieroglyphics might mean would be gratefully appreciated :-)

I have 3 males, a bottle of booze and a fish ( well ya know go Fish is a card game), so I'm an almost themer :)

I'm surprised those guys are playing cards with windows behind them in the photo above. They had to be careful how they held their cards so the opponent wouldn't see the reflection! I've posted relaxation this week but no cards.

- Tattered and Lost said...
Bandwidth issues have kept me away the past few weeks and boy how I missed participating.
I am not on theme, but instead feature a woman who was a schoolteacher. Perhaps a student will someday do a search of her name and find these photos. - 16 July 2011 at 08:24

Looks like having fun is hard work in your picture - possible in mine this week, too!

A little later than usual this week, and I've gone off theme, but hopefully something of interest. Happy Sepia Saturday everyone.

The Photo Does Look A Wee Bit Staged (if only because the composition is near perfect)
- 16 July 2011 at 10:49
- Sheila @ A Postcard a Day said...
Mine has three people, so there's a vague thematic resemblance. :)
I love the casually placed bottles to the side! - 16 July 2011 at 11:52

Struggled to meet the theme this week, but decided on the Three Men route and managed to squeeze in cards and booze (in the post, not me!).
- 16 July 2011 at 12:08
- Pat said...
will be up soon, my last two weeks had photos which could have had tha same caption, "what's going on?" We are here in PA once again, so my post will be brief...

I was at Poets United and stumbled across your blog. It really seems to suit what I wrote about Ancient Greek Gods and the pictures I used. Thank you to you for organising this for us to take part in and to discover other writers that I may not have read before, too.

I am late, but here. A gift of a published family history from my first cousin has given me lots of photos and stores for draw from. It is his father's side of the family but we are working on our mutual side of the family, his mother.

I LOVE the look the gentleman on the left is giving the opposing player! Great reflection here and "in-the-moment" feel of this photo. I wonder if he made the right move... ?

I'm late too. You can blame the Open golf. My post features different types of players.

I am late to some and right on time for me. Better for me to get myself organized and back on task to post. I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

It's still Saturday so I'm right on time. A Whist party with my Aunt Barbara present.

It's Sunday here, so I'm a bit behind events. Thanks Kat and Alan for this happy blog.

Kat or Alan . . . sorry folks, Linky 31 takes readers to the wrong post! I must be going cross-eyed. Can 31 be removed?

Index to Articles found in the El Farol Newspaper 1905-1906
The Lincoln County New Mexico online archives contains pdf's of all remaining copies of the El Farol Newspaper of Capitan NM, but doesn't have an index to the newspaper. C. W. Barnum, an active member of AHGP, and state coordinator for the New Mexico AHGP recently invested his time and energy into providing an every person index to the various extant issues. He has shared this wonderful index with AccessGenealogy in hopes that it will reach a wider audience. Enjoy!

From Fedora Project Wiki
< Anaconda
This page summarizes significant additions, removals, and behavior changes in anaconda from one version of Fedora to the next. It is not meant as an exhaustive list of all changes, nor does it discuss bug fixes unless those fixes are a serious change. If you see something weird (in a good or bad way) that is not explained below, please let us know so we can consider adding it to this page.
Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 (as of anaconda-14.19-1)
Kickstart Changes
- network --ipv6= and ipv6 values for network --gateway= are now supported.
- part --grow is no longer supported for partitions of fstype RAID. You must specify the final size you want to use.
- part --size is no longer required. If you do not specify a size, anaconda will assume the default.
- url --noverifyssl and repo --noverifyssl allow you to skip verification of the SSL cert check that causes some HTTPS installs to fail.
- Throughout kickstart, disks may now be referred to via /dev/disk/by-path, /dev/disk/by-label, and /dev/disk/by-uuid in addition to device node names. This is to mitigate the fact that device node names are unstable. Please see Anaconda/Kickstart.
- %packages, %pre, %post, and %traceback must now end with a %end token.
- Deprecated kickstart commands: interactive
- Removed kickstart commands: key.
- Removed kickstart options: bootloader --lba32, driverdisk --type, firewall --telnet, logvol --bytes-per-inode, partition --bytes-per-inode --start --end, raid --bytes-per-inode, xconfig --driver --depth --resolution --videoram, zfcp --scsiid --scsilun
For Users
- anaconda now uses a NetworkManager-based configuration UI for setting up network connections. For DVD/CD installs, using this dialog will result in the network configuration being applied to the installed system as well. Wireless connections are supported via this interface as well.
- If no directory is used in stage2=hd:, default to /images/install.img.
- If the basic devices selection is made, the filter UI will be skipped entirely.
- Just like with all other forms of installation, NFS installs will also search for updates.img and product.img. Please see Anaconda/Updates.
- Memory requirements have been increased due to changes in the size of the installation environment and us being more realistic about how much is required.
- Multipath and RAID support (especially in the filter and clear disks UIs) has been greatly improved.
- Remote logging is greatly improved. Please see Anaconda/Logging.
- s390 only: anaconda will offer to format previously unformatted DASD devices.
- Support for whole-disk formats has been improved.
- Telnet support has been removed. You can still use ssh to remotely access an installation.
- The livecd supports xdriver= just like the regular installer.
- With virtual machine installs it is now possible to have all logs produced during the installation forwarded to the host machine. See Remote logging via virtio.
- Removed command line options: rootPath, telnet, test, vesa
For Developers
- anaconda is now a proper Python module, installed under /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages/pyanaconda. This means you can import it via "import pyanaconda.whatever", instead of using a sys.path hack. The source layout in git reflects the same layout in the installed package - everything that's part of the module is under pyanaconda/. This means your old custom scripts to build the updates might no longer produce a working image. The Makefiles and updates image scripts in scripts/ have been changed to do the right thing. Please see Anaconda/SourceOverview.
- anaconda now uses transifex.net for all translations. This removes most everything out of po/ and adds a "tx pull" step before "make archive" and "make scratch". See docs/transifex.txt for more information.
- "make check" uses pylint instead of pychecker now.
- There is no more InstData class. Its contents have either been moved into the Anaconda class, moved into other classes if appropriate, or removed entirely.
- There is very little in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime anymore. Most things have moved to /usr/share/anaconda or /usr/libexec/anaconda.
For Rebuilders
Fedora 14 to Fedora 15 (as of anaconda-15.28-1)
Kickstart Changes
- $basearch and $releasever in kickstart repo commands will be substituted correctly.
- If %packages --default is given, still process the rest of the %packages section.
- list-harddrives again works the same way it did back on RHEL5.
- network --device= again works the same way it did back on RHEL5.
- network --gateway= now supports IPv6 addresses.
- raid --label= works the same way as part --label= or logvol --label=.
- Repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d that are disabled by default can now be enabled like so: repo --name=reponame.
- /usr/bin/mknod has been removed. It was just a stub anyway. Please use /bin/mknod now instead.
For Users
- / must be on a partition or LV that will be formatted. Reusing an existing / is not allowed.
- A new logpicker tool has been added to aid in collecting data for bug reports when a traceback does not occur.
- anaconda will not attempt to mount NTFS filesystems at any point during install or upgrade.
- anaconda will warn if there are no previous installations to be upgraded. This prevents the user from thinking an upgrade is proceeding when anaconda wants to do an install.
- s390 only: /boot can now be on LVM.
- btrfs is a fully supported filesystem.
- If a GPT boot disk is used on a non-EFI machine, a warning will be displayed.
- If the custom partitioning selection is made, the two panel clear disk UI will be skipped.
- install.img has been removed. Everything is now in the initrd. Related, the stage2= command line parameter has been deprecated. Please use repo= or method= and point it at the tree to install from, not the stage2 image to use.
- Installation to disk images via the live installer is now supported.
- Media check does not run when using netinstall.iso anymore because there is nothing to check.
- Memory requirements should be quite a bit lower due to the removal of lots of unneeded stuff from the installation environment.
- Network configuration logging has been improved and will be added to traceback reports in case of errors.
- noauto entries in /etc/fstab will be ignored and preserved in the final /etc/fstab file.
- Passing updates= on the bootloader command line now works for live installs too.
- The device reinitialization dialog has been redesigned to be clearer.
- The ipv6= command line option can now take a static address argument.
- The iSCSI login interface has been updated to be easier to use.
- The livecd will now warn if you do not have enough memory to install.
- The noeject command line parameter will prevent anaconda from ever attempting to eject a CD/DVD.
- The partition editor now has a select/deselect all button.
- The anaconda version number is logged as early as possible.
- The welcome screen is gone.
- Commands added to install images ntpdate, rdate, tty, which
- Removed command line options: btrfs, nousbstorage
For Developers
For Rebuilders
- .buildstamp is now a .ini-style file, so any parsers or writers will need to change.
- EFI images will only be built for x86_64.
- If building a pre-release version of a distribution, make sure your tools pass --isbeta to buildinstall. anaconda now looks in the .buildstamp file for this information instead of relying on a built-in constant.
- lorax is now used for generating the installation tree instead of the stuff in scripts/. That older stuff is only being kept around for secondary arches until such time as they have all been converted to using lorax as well.
- scripts/mk-images and scripts/upd-instroot no longer create an install.img or move files around between /usr/bin and /bin. Files on the initrd now live where they do on the installed system.
- Split media is no longer a supported installation method. You'll need to use a single CD/DVD or a network source.
Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 (as of anaconda-16.21-1)
Kickstart Changes
- Added support for network --device=ibft.
- Duplicate VG and MD names will result in an error message being displayed.
- Multipath devices may be specified by WWID just like any other type of disk. Use the disk/by-id/scsi-* names just like you would use disk/by-id for a regular hard drive.
- Only network commands with --activate given will be activated during installation.
- Partitions in the generated /root/anaconda-ks.cfg will now be sorted.
- There must be a biosboot partition for the bootloader to be installed successfully. This partition may be created with the kickstart option part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1.
- WPA keys may now be specified via network --wpakey=.
For Users
- A partition of type biosboot is required for a GPT boot disk on BIOS systems.
- anaconda will no longer override the ext[234] defaults when running mkfs.
- btrfs volumes must be at least 256 MB.
- Default partitioning uses LVM, but you now have the option to use regular partitions instead by unchecking the appropriate box on the partition type screen. This may change in a future release, though.
- Dependency resolution errors are now logged.
- grub2 is now the default bootloader, though upgrades will stay with whatever was previously installed.
- If no RAID devices are configured during installation, a skeleton /etc/mdadm.conf will not be written out.
- On fresh installs, / must be on a partition or LV that will be formatted. Reusing an existing / is not allowed.
- RAID0 devices support growing again.
- Removed command line arguments: ext4migrate
- s390 now supports upgrading the bootloader configuration.
- s390 now supports firstboot, so enable it in kickstart.
- The default bootloader timeout is now five seconds.
- The gateway= command line argument now supports IPv6 values.
- The install.log and upgrade.log now include a timestamp for every package.
- The live installer now has a reboot button, since there is no other way to do that from the desktop.
- Wireless devices may be configured and used during the loader.
- x86 uses GPT disklabels by default on all machines, even non-EFI.
For Developers
- anaconda now uses transifex.net for all translations. This removes most everything out of po/ and adds a "tx pull" step before "make archive" and "make scratch". See docs/transifex.txt for more information.
- dogtail support has been removed.
- scripts/upd-bootiso takes an option to drop to a shell before packing up the image.
- The booty/ module directory has been replace with a new Bootloader module in pyanaconda/bootloader.py.
- The following makefile targets have been removed: testiso, src, archive, archive-no-tag. "release" replaces "archive", and "dist" replaces "archive-no-tag".
For Rebuilders
- The BETANAG flag has changed from isBeta to isFinal.
Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 (as of anaconda-17.7-1)
Kickstart Changes

Ear, Nose and Throat Facts
What is the ear?
The ear is the organ of hearing and balance. The ear consists of:
External or outer ear, consisting of:
Pinna or auricle. This is the outside part of the ear.
External auditory canal or tube. This is the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear.
Tympanic membrane (also called the eardrum). The tympanic membrane divides the external ear from the middle ear.
Middle ear (tympanic cavity), consisting of:
Ossicles. These are the 3 small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called:
Eustachian tube. A canal that links the middle ear with the back of the nose. The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. Having the same pressure allows for the proper transfer of sound waves. The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat.
Inner ear, consisting of:
Cochlea. This contains the nerves for hearing.
Vestibule. This contains receptors for balance.
Semicircular canals. This contains receptors for balance.
What is the nose?
The nose is the organ of smell and is part of the peripheral nervous system. The nose consists of:
External nose. A triangular-shaped projection in the center of the face.
Nostrils. These are two chambers divided by the septum.
Septum. This is made up primarily of cartilage and bone and covered by mucous membranes. The cartilage also gives shape and support to the outer part of the nose.
Nasal passages. Passages that are lined with mucous membranes and tiny hairs (cilia) that help to filter the air.
Sinuses. Four pairs of air-filled cavities that are also lined with mucous membranes.
What is the throat?
The throat is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food, and liquid. The throat also helps in forming speech. The throat consists of:
Larynx. This houses the vocal cords and is crucial to speech and breathing. The larynx also serves as a passageway to the trachea (windpipe to the lung).
Epiglottis. This is located above the larynx and works with the larynx and vocal cords to push the food into the esophagus, therefore keeping food from entering the windpipe.
Tonsils and adenoids. These are made up of lymph tissue and are located at the back and sides of the mouth. They protect against infection, but generally have little purpose beyond childhood.

Now streaming on:
Some dramatists are capable of being simultaneously misanthropic and empathetic. At his best, Todd Solondz's disdain for his characters' worst behavior is off-set by his identification with their pathologically insecurities. Solondz is, in that sense, an accomplished caricaturist. Recent films like "Life During Wartime" and "Dark Horse" suggest an intimacy and knowledge of his subjects that extends well beyond simple parody.
Music video director turned feature filmmaker Jonas Akerlund ("Spun," "The Horsemen") tries and fails to achieve a similar effect in "Small Apartments," a toxically quirky black comedy starring a morbidly obese albino who dreams of traveling to Switzerland. Adapted by Chris Millis from his own novella, "Small Apartments" stars British actor Matt Lucas (Little Britain, "Bridesmaids") as Franklin Franklin, a deeply unhappy and emotionally disturbed young man.
When we first meet Franklin, he's fantasizing about an astro-turf-like meadow in Switzerland while playing his alpenhorn. In reality, Franklin's blowing his horn in over-sized tighty whities. Empty bottles of Moxie soda are scattered throughout Franklin's apartment. And just behind a deeply discombobulated Franklin is his landlord's corpse.
Unfortunately, this callous introduction to Franklin is tonally consistent with the rest of "Small Apartments." For a while, Akerlund and Millis relish leading viewers around by the nose, revealing new pieces of equally mean-spirited, and unfunny information about the film's supporting characters. They all have off-putting tics of their own: Burt Walnut (Billy Crystal), the cop investigating Franklin's landlord's (Peter Stormare) death, pretends that his relationship with his missing wife is A-OK while Franklin's brother Bernard (James Marsden) spitefully mails some toe-nail clippings and a rambling cassette tape full of life lessons to Franklin.
The film's goal is ostensibly to prove to its protagonists just how random and strange but utterly human the little foibles and incidents that distinguish our respective dreams and habits really are. But by the time Bernard delivers his last inspirational tape, one that desperately tells Franklin that "happiness is a state of mind," Akerlund and Millis have made it apparent that their interest and affection in their damaged, geek-like protagonists isn't even surface-thin. In spite of its creators' half-assed last minute attempt to prove that they do in fact care, there's no genuine empathy in "Small Apartments," just lots and lots of misanthropy.
Self-help is the predominant theme in "Small Apartments": everyone is, to some extent, trying to figure out how to improve their lives. Franklin's neighbor Tommy Balls (Johnny Knoxville) strives to achieve one life goal per day, even if that goal is to make a gravity bong. Even Bernard was, before committing himself, seeking help from an Oprah-approved self-help guru named Dr. Sage Mennox (Dolph Lundgren). As a sign of how futile Akerlund and Millis's sub-sub-Vonnegut schtick is, Mennox has no answers. Instead, he instructs his followers to exercise their minds as they would a muscle, thus preventing "Brain [attacks]," and allowing them to win in the "Ultimate Olympics of mental self-discovery." Franklin's idea of self-help is considerably more modest: after getting rid of his landlord's body, he dreams of escaping to the land of his Swiss Miss commercials.
Since contempt is self-perpetuating, the film's smug style of comedy predictably makes Franklin, the most innocent character in "Small Apartments," the biggest victim. His freakish appearance — he frequently wears nothing but underwear and socks — is only further accented by the fact that he's often shown bawling or taking shallow breaths through his mouth. He is proof that Dr. Mennox doesn't know what he's talking about when he says that, in the film's world, "Crazy people don't look any different than normal people [...] They look like you and me." Franklin is disturbed, and in this film, that makes him crazy, and tacky, and ugly, and unworthy of real human kindness.
Even during scenes where he's happy, Franklin is used as a punching bag -- as in a concluding Switzerland-ish fantasy wherein he ogles a trio of blondes who lasciviously grope his alpenhorn. Worse still, when he's shown listening to his last life lesson from Brendan, recorded on a cassette tape marked "The Answer," he's harshly front-lit so that he looks like a monster even before he dabs his moist eyes with $100 bills. But through his oblivious voiceover narration and polite, stuttering dialogue, Franklin reveals that he's smarter and more sensitive than anyone else in the film gives him credit for. This doesn't mean he's a sympathetic character, just more pitiable for his inability to act on his better impulses.
But how do you solve a problem like Franklin Franklin? If you're Akerlund and Millis, you don't even try. He's a disgusting, pathetic little man, which is meant to be funny in a surreal, grotesque kind of way. In reality, "Small Apartments"' torpid, small-minded authorial gods are what's wrong with this unpleasant comedy. Viewers are asked to goggle at contemptuously sketched-out freaks that are oblivious to the ties that bind them.
Not even Brendan's pseudo-enlightening final rant can make the rest of the film's events seem any less gross, mostly because Franklin is soon thereafter shown daydreaming about blowing his instrument while adoring hot chocolate spokeswomen frolic around it. Somewhere, Todd Solondz is weeping.
Simon Abrams is a native New Yorker and a freelance film critic. He contributes regularly to the Village Voice and has had writing featured in Esquire, Time Out New York, and Vulture.

Parameters observed
The principal observations available on REFMAR are as follows:
- permanent coastal tide gauge water height measurements available in non-real-time in the form of files. Concerning, for example, the RONIM network, these data are available covering periods of every 10 minutes and every hour, with a typical delay of 15 days and 3 months, respectively;
- real-time measurements, as required by the storm and tsunami alert programmes. These measurements, which are currently under development, are presently available on the REFMAR site via links to the corresponding pages on the Sea Level Station Monitoring Facility.
- geodetic cross-references between tidal benchmarks and the measuring apparatus;
Fos-sur-mer observatory (photo credit SHOM, 2010)
- tide gauge calibration measurements, independent tide gauge measurements with luminous or sonic calibration probes.
These measurement elements are essential in order to establish consistent water height temporal series expressed with respect to known vertical references (maritime and terrestrial). The series thus formed will then enable studies to be carried out into sea level variations reference levels.
Nevertheless, by "data" we mean both measurements and metadata or the results of processing, analysis and the combination of the two. REFMAR therefore also provides the necessary documentary data essential to draw the best possible benefit from the service's measurements and products.

The indicated delivery times are best estimates based on information from the manufacturers or importers. We may update the estimated lead times on our web pages at any time. There may be variance on the actual delivery time with the time frame indicated, as many of the products are made to order, and various factors may delay delivery, such as temporary material shortage, capacity constraints, strikes and other labor actions, vacation and holiday periods or force majeure incidents. Also third parties such as freight companies may cause shipments to delay from planned. Saunastore is not liable for any costs or claims araising due to a third party.

Products in your order may be partially shipped, according to their respective lead times. If a certain item in your order is holding back the planned delivery, you may request for or we may propose to you partial shipment, and separate shipment of the late item once it is ready for shipment, by you paying for the extra shipping cost.

In North Carolina real property is automatically listed. Our office has mailed an abstract to the owners of all improved residential properties, properties with new owners or properties with building permits. The message "Value Pending Reappraisal" appears on the tax listing form where the real estate value is normally printed. We are delaying the publication of the 2013 assessed value for real estate as we continue our analysis of all sales through December 31, 2012. The absence of a real estate value on your 2013 listing form does not in any way affect your right to appeal your real estate value after notification in mid-February.
All property owners are required by N.C.G.S. 105-285 to list any personal property owned as of January 1st and/or any changes that have been made to real estate during the prior year. Listings are not mailed on vacant land. The listing is also an opportunity to correct any errors on personal information, names, mailing addresses, or request an application for Tax Relief.
N.C.G.S. 105-307(a) states that the listing period runs through January 31. Personal property that is listed after January 31st will be considered late and will be subject to a 10% penalty.
The signed and completed forms may be mailed to: Forsyth County Tax Administration, P. O. Box 757, Winston-Salem, NC 27102 or delivered to the Forsyth County Tax Administration Office located on the 1st floor of the Forsyth County Government Center at 201 North Chestnut Street.
