Although not as sympathetic or achingly romantic as 'The Russia House',
stunning TV adaptation is the closest the screen has gotten to the
world of John le Carre. Very few writers actually become so synonymous
their age that we look to their works to find out what a period of history
was like. When we think of the Cold War, and, most especially, the shabby
bureaucracy of British espionage, it is le Carre we think of.
What le Carre shares with Graham Greene, making him a million miles from
priapic fantasies of James Bond, is in showing how the Cold War literally
degraded everyone. Fils like 'Ninotchka' like to show the massive
between the dour, repressive, monotonous Soviet Union and the glitteringly
superficial, gaily materialist West. Le Carre suggests that both sides of
the Iron Curtain are merely of the same coin, at the executive level at
least. You expect to see 1980 Czechoslovakia as a run-down, provincial
dump; but this film's England reminded me of Svankmajer's 'Alice', as it
details a society, a system, an ethic, a code grinding towards inertia, a
world becoming increasingly closed in that it can only be jabbed into life
by shocks of betrayal.
This England is a pure mirror image of our stereotypes of the East - a
system run by chilling, amoral men with perfect manners (the most
frightening thing about the narrative is that any one of the suspects
have done it, each one has so lost any kind of basic humanity, never mind
idealism, that it is almost irrelevant who the traitor is) gathering
together in anonymous meeting rooms, or an endless rondelay of joyless
dinners; a world of cramped, impersonal decor, generally sucked in by
shadows, so that we can't even be sure it's men we see, or the flickering
grin of the Cheshire Cat; a world of men, where one of the three female
characters is an absent joke until the last five minutes, another is
tortured and murdered by her superiors, and the third is sacked for
competence, reduced to scraping money from grinds, a paralysed, blubbing
outcast; a drab world where all colour and life has been seeped out, or
by unnoticed, where jokes are bitter and grim, where the (very Soviet)
elevator disrepair signals a wider, fundamental malaise.
If it's fun you want, get 'You Only Live Twice' - the action here is
generated from its milieu - dank, meticulous, pedantic, slow, inexorable,
unsensational. This is where a 6 hour TV adaptation has the edge on a
feature film - cramming a le Carre plot into the latter can make it seem
rushed and exciting; this film brings out all its civil-service
ingloriousness superbly (although the figure of Karla is a little too
SMERSHy for my tastes).
Bill Hayden says you can tell the soul of a nation from its intelligence
service, and this film, despite the go-getting yuppie 80s or the success
heritage TV ('Jewel in the Crown', 'Brideshead Revisited') is perhaps the
closest representation of a kind of soul, public school, Oxbridge,
Whitehall, male. In equating this world with impotence and sterility
(Smiley is childless), the material errs in equating homosexuality as the
ultimate, literal inversion, a closing in, of minds, spirit etc.
But the metaphor of the betrayed friendship as representative of a wider
betrayal is less a corny contrivance than an indication of how
incestuous this world is. These men slipping in and out of shadows are
ghosts, fighting a war that doesn't exist, nitpicking over irrelevant
ideological puzzles that have lost all meaning. The 'good' guys are no
better than the bad - Peter Guillam, though dogged and loyal, is little
than a thug; Ricky Tarr is new yuppie incarnate in all his cocky
Smiley, marvellously essayed by Alec Guinness - more obviously sharper
in the book, Hercules cleaning out the Aegean stables - loses even the
barest traces of humanity, with vast reserves of calculated sadism and
bureaucratic immorality, his thick glasses seeing all the detail and none
the big picture. Smiley needs the rules of the game more than anyone;
without them he is left adrift in life, and the stupendous final shot
how deeply that defeats him.
Unusually for TV, this is a film of rare visual imagination, not in the
mistakenly flashy, spuriously 'cinematic' sense beloved of ambitious
but in its exploration of the medium's claustrophobia, as it traps its
protagonists, in particular the way the camera's point of view chillingly
suggests somebody else looking on, spying on the spies, making everything
see provisional, especially the flashbacks, which elide as much as they
The book by John Le Carre is intricate and multi layered and to attempt to
film it was brave of the BBC. One wishes they had such courage these days,
but that is another story. It is a television masterpiece.
The acting is superb. Alec Guinness was made for the part of George Smiley.
From his opening scene in a London bookshop to the last shot of his face he
is mesmerising. The supporting cast are the cream of British actors at the
time. Some of them only have one scene like John Standing, Beryl Reid, Joss
Ackland and Nigel Stock but they become real people before your eyes. Ian
Bannen as Jim Prideaux is particularly moving and Hewyl Bennett gives the
performance of his life.Even the actors who don't say anything look just
It is plainly filmed but that adds to the atmosphere. On the face of it life
is normal and ordinary but beneath there is betrayal, anguish, danger and
pain. The motif of Russian dolls in the opening credits is good. Dolls with
faces, then one without and then an emptiness. In the end Smiley solves the
mystery but the mystery of life is beyond him.
The music is great,sparse but edgy. I can watch this time and again and
still get something out of it.
I can only add to the other comments: this is a superb film. It is absolute proof that a TV mini-series can stand beside the best cinema films with honor. I have rarely paid $7.00 for just 87 minutes of anything this good. If I could vote on it, it would get a 9. The writing is rich; the acting, excellent; the theme, deep; the technical quality only slightly inhibited by a presumably small budget. When I consider the BBC's obsession with the mass market peddling of dull costume dramas, I cannot understand why this astringent tragedy is not available, at least in the US, on video or DVD. In about 20 years, this will have the sort of mythic reputation given to lost or damaged movies of the teens and twenties--more deservedly than most of them.
There are few movies that follow the book. There is no end to the
comment, "The book was so much better." There is good reason for that
with some films. "The Lord of the Rings" would have been five movies if
you went "by the book". Interesting and enjoyable as that might be for
Tolkien fans, it was impossible for film makers. Yet, "Tailor, Tinker,
Soldier, Spy" as a movie defies that axiom.
Having read the book and seen the movie more than "several times", they
still remain interconnected and indistinguishable. Yes, the book
contains more detail, but may details are covered by innuendo, scene or
background detail in the movie. Alec Guinness becomes Smiley so
completely that his acting gives real meaning to the idea of a
"character actor", even down to wiping his glasses with his tie. (you
have to read the book for that one.)That is not to say, that Guinness
is a robot and the movie is stiff in the name of faithfulness to the
book, just the opposite.
The movie dawns the viewer in, just as the book draws in the reader, as
part of the process of discovery; unraveling the mystery. As in a true
"who done it" (or as one commentator put "who is it"), the viewer has
no more foreknowledge than Smiley. You are introduced to all the
characters, all have reasons to be the defector, all have reasons to
distrust an investigation to the past, yet only one is ferreted-out.
The ending is consistent with the logic of the book and film, but, you
still don't expect it. It's anti-climactic yet believable. The film,
like to book, leaves one wondering how this could happen. It's thought
provoking given many of the suspects comments thought-out the
book/film. Both inspire thought more than resolution. The story
challenges the reader/viewer to think and think well about the reasons
for and purpose of spying as a whole. (The film is more English in
cultural orientation, but the concept is universal, as many Americans
have learned as well.)
A wonderful book transformed into visual. Great acting through-out, and
you really hate all the right people....
Sir Alec Guinness is so good at being George Smiley that John LeCarre claims he can no longer write the character about without seeing Guinness' face. The supporting cast is uniformly excellent, and the script captures the novel almost flawlessly. It takes six hours because the story is complex and ranges over many years and many characters, but it is so well-written and acted that the any viewer with an attention span longer than that of a gnat can easily keep track of who did what and when, so that the ultimate unmasking of the traitor may be a surprise, but it is not a shock.
The BBC is to be commended for making 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
(as well as 'Smiley's People') into fine adaptations for television.
Being very familiar with all three of the 'Karla' novels I have a few,
very minor, quibbles as to casting and editing, but nothing that gets
in the way of great enjoyment of the finished product.
Guinness was born to play Smiley, as others have already noted. I can't
get enough of his laconic humor and monk-like habits. Simply with
subtle, hardly discernible facial expressions, Guinness intimates
vividly the mysterious, dangerous past Smiley has endured... and all
the vile things he's had to do in the cause of, as he would put it,
what is Right. Alexander Knox is fabulous as the "little serpent"
Control, "No man's child" as Smiley's says of him. There are other
"perfectly" cast parts in this adaptation. Anthony Bate's smarmy,
infuriating Lacon is absolutely hateful at his every appearance, just
as he is supposed to be; a sign of the masterful nuance of Mr Bate's
performance. I also like Bernard Hepton's Toby Esterhase, though he
exhibits more humor than the character actually possesses in the book..
but what a fine actor he is.
Michael Aldridge plays Percy Alleline as an exquisite, bureaucratic
boob who will do anything, in the modern political way, to get to the
top, purely for ego reasons. I also found Ian Richardson's Bill Hayden
to be a fine fit between actor and character. Some of the smaller roles
are done very well too. Fawn, played by one Alec Sabin, is the spitting
(mental) image of the character as described in the book. A quiet,
diminutive killer.
All of the acting is first rate but the actors are often a far cry from
the physical descriptions in the books. Beryl Reid is wonderful as
Connie Sachs, though not LARGE enough. Her scene is so fore-shortened
in the film script that it hardly matters anyway. The same can be said
of Ian Bannen who turns in perhaps my favorite performance in the whole
thing, after Guinness's Smiley. But Bannen does not fit the description
of Jim Prideaux very closely. However he is fully inside the character
of the poor man he's portraying that it hardly matters if his hair is
the wrong color.
The only bit of miscasting (in my opinion) was that of Michael Jayston
as Peter Guillam. Jayston is too po-faced and humorless, overplaying
the underlying traumatic neurosis Guillam has endured in his career.
Jayston's limitations stand out slightly next to his co- horts but he's
good enough to hold his own, up to a point. And he does rise to the
occasion when the part demands something more substantial from his
character, but Michael Byrne, the Peter Guillam in 'Smiley's People',
seems much more in line with LeCarré's character from the books.
The great disappointment of the 'Smiley' series is that the BBC balked
at filming in Hong Kong, choosing instead Lisbon. It works but it would
have been so much better as LeCarré originally envisioned the story. By
the same token it is a great loss to our lives that they skipped 'The
Honourable Schoolboy' altogether, choosing to jump ahead to 'Smiley's
People'. I assume that filming in Hong Kong (primarily), Vientiene,
Bangkok, Phnom Pehn and Saigon was financially too daunting. A great
shame all the same, especially when they had such a fine Jerry Westerby
as Joss Ackland in 'Tinker, Tailor...'
In sum... the Smiley mini-series is a keeper to watch again and again.
It is rare that an adaptation of a complex novel translates well to the
small screen. Often detail is eliminated for sake of time and the plot
loses aspects that are key to the real story.
The team of John Le Carre and John Irvin has created what may go down as the
benchmark for the Spy story mini series. In six
hours of television they lay out piece by piece the background of each of
the characters in a slow and gentle manner enabling the viewer to capture a
sense of both the person and the time in which they are placed.
Irvin permits the story to move in a 'typical English manner', with George
Smiley, the principal character almost rolling along from one event to
another. Alec Guinness is outstanding in this role and it seems the it was
either written with him in mind or he was born for it. I suspect the later
is more likely. Smiley and his quirks are key to unravelling what is a
complex plot with the usual twists and turns of they spy genre.
The casting of the rest of the players is equally superb with an ensemble
performance by the who's who of the English stage.
The goodies are all flawed people while the badies, many of who are within
the British Secret Intelligence Service, are bad in the way that only the
English can truly be to each other.
If you enjoy Le Carre and are prepared to put in 6 hours to view the entire
series you you will be richly rewarded.
Definitely in the BBC pantheon (alongside I Claudius and Pride and
Prejudice), partly for its formidable cast, but mainly for John Irvin's
directorial grip - a model of visual economy and uncompromising narrative
A double-agent or 'mole' is suspected at the top levels of the British
secret service and retired spymaster Alec Guiness must narrow down the
suspects amongst his former colleagues. Arthur Hopcraft's adaptation,
capturing the bureaucratic intrigue and perfidy of John Le Carre's novel,
will demand viewers' utmost attention if they want to stay with the
unfolding plot.
Irvin shoots Tinker, Tailor as if for widescreen - edge of the screen
compositions, careful background detail - and demonstrates how a determined
director can overcome the limitations of television(usually seen as a
or producer's medium). Look at how he composes and cuts the scene where
Guillam (Michael Jayston) is interrogated round the boardroom table towards
the end of the first half. How Irvin provides deft little 'bookend' shots
with the characters slowly walking away from camera.
Not that his sparse, pared-down style doesn't translate to action scenes
with equal verve. The prologue - Ian Bannen's abortive mission into
Czechoslovakia and its climatic chase through the forest - is as tense as
anything you're likely to see on the big screen. Wintry settings and a
fraught music score (mainly strings) add to this bleak, cynical
Irvin landed the Hollywood actioner Dogs of War on the strength of Tinker,
Tailor, but despite clever touches it didn't launch a notable cinema
Look out, however, for his earlier television adaptation of Dickens' Hard
Times. (For another example of very superior television direction, check
out James Goldstone's handling of two first-season Star Trek episodes -
'Where No Man Has Gone Before' and 'What Are Little Made
Author Le Carre may have topped Tinker,Tailor with a dazzling sequel (The
Honourable Schoolboy, published 1977), but this is still far and away the
best espionage suspenser ever televised. Indeed, it's hard to see how
anything else, post Cold War, could quite match this relentless, ruthless
dissection of personal and political betrayals.
Having just watched this film again (for about the tenth time) I am
moved to say that few adaptations have brought such a well crafted book
to the screen so brilliantly. Perhaps this was because the author also
provided the screenplay ?
The acting, direction, lighting are superb and the whole is only
further enhanced by the haunting music of Burgon. The pace and suspense
are every bit as thrilling as the book.
One tip for lovers of this movie : try and get a copy of the follow-up,
namely Smiley's People. It takes over very gently from Tinker, Tailor
and leads on to the ultimate conclusion of Smiley's career.
Bravo !
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I wish that the producers could have dealt with the issue of Smiley's
marriage in a more satisfactory way. This is the only criticism that I can
think of: that Guiness had to put on the same face about a dozen times
whenever Ann's name was mentioned.
That said, I believe this is the best television that I have ever seen.
There is a pervasive feeling of solemnity throughout, reinforced by the
several tragic characters, the invisible backdrop of the cold war and the
ineffably beautiful and solemn signature theme. This is a story about
It is also a story about humanity.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOLLOW. As to the acting, note the masterful way that
Guiness uses his spectacles throughout the series. Note Michael Aldridge's
(Alleline) timing between Ian Richardson's tea and biscuit fiddling and
calling the meeting to order in Episode Three. Just the right touch. In a
really good movie you get those serendipidous unforgetable moments. Here
there is no serendipidy. It is all just brilliant and inspired acting.
Richardson's simultaneous laughing and crying.
I have read all of LeCarre's spy novels through 'The Honourable Schoolboy'
and have read Tinker Tailor several times. This series is not just true to
the novel, it is also 'of the LeCarre spirit'. You get the feeling that
man who told you the story is now revealing the characters to you
Read the book and then see this series and you will see what I mean.
I first saw Tinker Tailor twenty years ago. When I found out that it is
available on DVD, I used all of my powers of persuation to convince my
to make this my Christmas present. We have sat through it twice since then
and after I blast this review off into the ether, I am going downstairs
another go at it. It is a jewel.

JVC 4K GY-HMQ10 review video
Posted on: 5/17/2012 8:51:00 AM under General
As we've already said, we were a little sceptical about the JVC 4K GY-HMQ10 camera in terms of handling the workflow.
Whilst at NAB last month in Vegas, Den and I shot this short piece about the camera and more importantly, how easy the workflow was to deal with.
If you want to look at the camera in more detail, please have a look at the detailed page on it.

Beretta U22 Neos Grip
basic grips, they get the job done BUT the DLX grips are FAR BETTER in feel, comfort AND GOOD LOOKS! if you want the best go for the little more expensive grip, you WILL be glad you did!
these are the standard grips. they do not feel as solid as the dlx 2-tone grips. you should spend the extra amount for the dlx grips.

The bleach that some witnesses said they smelled in the house would not have been part of any crime scene coverup, he says, because Tina Caronna's body had no external wounds that would have bled. There was no blood to clean up.
Joe Caronna met numerous times with Bartlett police. He was always cooperative. They say he fled, but he had been in and out of Memphis a number of times. If he killed his wife, he had the resources to leave the country if he wanted.
White says police didn't bother to check Tina Caronna's rings for DNA in case the killer tried to take them off of her fingers. (The medical examiner says they came off easily.) White says, however, she had been dead for awhile which could have made them easier to remove.
Tina always carried a lot of cash, making her a possible target for robbery. The state wants you to think she doesn't know anything about finances, but she became a vice president with Cantor Fitzgerald and made $200,000 a year.
They want you to believe she was being held down and dominated by this Machiavellian monster over here, White says facetiously, pointing to his client, Joe Caronna.
He brought her flowers and pampered her. The other women in the office were jealous. He did love her. Why would he fake this for 15 years of marriage? Becky Black was a friend with benefits. She wanted to leave her husband, but Joe was not going to leave Tina.

Gold prices are near-unchanged Friday, as continued safe-haven buying battled against profit taking from investors taking advantage of gold's best week since August. "Gold's had a good rally, and a small pullback would be healthy for the market," Afshin Nabavi, a senior vice president at bullion refiner MKS Finance SA in Geneva, told Bloomberg. Still, "people won't give up their safe-haven investments," and that will support prices, he said.
Yesterday's announcement of an agreement on the European debt deal was met by investors with optimism. Today, however, euphoria seems to be giving way to uncertainty over whether the plan will be comprehensive enough to stem the fallout of the debt crisis in Europe. Jim Pododa, a former precious metals trader for Mitsubishi International Corp. told Bloomberg via Email, "The European debt deal should help gold in two ways. For the non-believers, safe-haven buying should keep the market well bid. For those thinking that impediments to growth have been lifted, the further stimulus should be viewed as gold-positive as well," he said. (Bloomberg, 10/28/11)
U.S. stocks are mixed following Thursday's massive rally as doubts over the lack of details on the European debt deal raised concerns for investors. "I think investors are taking a step back, in the sense that they're getting down to the details that were in the plan yesterday," Adrian Cronje, chief investment officer at Balentine told CNN Money. Investor sentiment was further dampened on Thursday's reports that an agreement by the U.S. debt super committee on how cut over a trillion dollars from the country's deficit may not be finalized prior to the November deadline. Further questions remain as to whether cuts of anything less than $4-6 trillion will be enough to stabilize the country's ballooning debt. (CNN Money, 10/28/11)

FYI - letter in today's Ottawa Citizen: (they actually edited out the final paragraph, which I've reinserted here)
Radiation is political
The Ottawa Citizen
February 25, 2009
Did anyone else notice how quickly the story of Ottawa's radioactive sewage sludge disappeared, as soon as it was realized that the contamination likely came from a hospital and not Chalk River Laboratories up the Ottawa River? The story was on talk radio and Parliament Hill when it was suspected that it might put the finger on a government nuclear lab, and specifically the minister in charge of it.
It didn't matter that the recent "leaks" from Chalk River turned out to not be leaks at all, but responsible environmental stewardship on a scale that probably makes many other industries in the Ottawa area pale in comparison.
It didn't matter that billions of becquerels of natural radioactivity drift past Ottawa every day in the Ottawa River, and that radioactivity itself is as natural as rocks, water, air, and you and me.
What matters is that radioactivity, quite simply, scares the bejeebers out of people. It apparently doesn't even help to know that we can measure radioactivity more accurately and more easily than any other environmental agent. Those trucks of sewage sludge carried a potent cocktail of chemicals, but radiation is all you can measure at a distance and through the truck walls, not to mention instantaneously and with great precision. This is, in fact, exactly why radiation has become so effective and indispensable at solving industrial problems, diagnosing disease, and detecting fires in our homes.
But the radioactive poop saga showed that something else matters: where the radiation comes from. Radiation is political. The radiation we bathe in and worship during the summer, and spend big bucks to chase in the winter, is good radiation. The radiation that kills cancer and fights heart disease, is undeniably good radiation.
And radiation associated with nuclear reactors, even in infinitesimal amounts, is bad radiation.
I suggest that folks think about this, and consider that the men and women at Chalk River Laboratories are the same dedicated and ethical creatures you'll find hard at work all over this planet trying to make it a better place to live.

Spinning colour wheel to avoid a blue
Criminal investigations in Auckland are now codenamed after shades of paint because of fears that an off-colour label could cause offence. Detective Inspector Scott Beard has created a list of codenames for police operations from a Resene paints colour chart. Recent examples include Operation Anakiwa - a shade of blue - in which police laid charges against Glenn Mills, 40, who allegedly deliberately infected sexual partners with HIV. Operation Beryl, in which police investigate an alleged international car theft ring, is a hue of green. Mr Beard said the colour list came into effect late last year after senior police officers noted there was "a bit of risk" in some operation codenames. "In years gone past, there have been operation names that have been silly. As a management team, we saw the risks there," said Mr Beard. "There can be no criticism [of the colour chart]. You can't get to court and the lawyer asks, 'Where did that name come from?"' Mr Beard declined to reveal the names of operations that had caused concern. In the past, police would sometimes dub inquiries after the road that a crime was committed on, like Operation Hamilton, which investigated the murder of Augustine Borrell in Herne Bay in September 2007. On occasion, police have shown a sense of humour. An operation targeting underworld figures manufacturing methamphetamine in 2000 was dubbed "Operation Flower". This was because officers nicknamed the hardened crims Daisy, Tulip and Pansy. |

No. 14 Illinois rebounds with dominating win
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On January 5, 2013 @ 5:00 pm In All,Wirenews | Comments Disabled
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Brandon Paul scored 19 points and No. 14 Illinois bounced back from a tough loss in its Big Ten opener to beat No. 8 Ohio State 74-55 on Saturday.
The Illini (14-2, 1-1) led 37-25 at halftime and used a 13-2 run early in the second half to build a 50-27 lead.
Illinois used stingy defense to shut down the Buckeyes (11-3, 1-1), who shot just 33 percent from the field and turned the ball over 16 times.
Nnanna Egwu added 16 points for Illinois and Tracy Abrams had 13 points and five assists.
Deshaun Thomas led Ohio State with 24 points.
Illinois came into the game off a stunning 68-61 loss at Purdue and had lost two of its last three.

Haiti: President Martelly Tries to Build Confidence for Elections
- Wednesday, August 29, 2012 3:05 PM
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (defend.ht) - On Tuesday, President Michel Martelly sought to build confidence for the partial, 6-member, Permanent Electoral Council by holding a meeting with leaders of political parties and grassroots organizations.
Three of the largest political parties were not present for the meeting, held at the convention center at Hotel Karibe. The largest political party, Inite, was not invited and two others, The People's Struggle Organization (OPL) and the National Progressive Democratic Coalition (RPND) boycotted the event.
Along with members of parliament who did not participate, the political parties, attending and not-attending, believed the meeting to be a mascarade, only to give the appearance that the Chief Executive cared to hear their point of view. Many left feeling that was not the case.
Opening Declarations
President Michel Martelly made opening statements where he defended, the decision to establish a Permanent Electoral Council, a decision that is contested for only consisting of 6-members, while the council should consist of 9.
Martelly had to defend his acceptance of the 3 electoral council members selected by the Superior Council of the Judiciary under circumstances not conforming with democratic principles. The selection by the judicial body was made not with the majority of councilors present and it was nearly a month later when the decision was endorsed by a fifth judicial councilor to make a majority of four including the chairman of the council. It has the appearance that the judiciary would be persuadable by bribes.
The electoral council lacks representation of three members from the legislature, the selection of the executive of former Minister of Justice, Josue Pierre-Louis, who resigned for having arbitrarily called for the arrest of an active member of parliament, and the poor timing of the establishment of a "Tet Kale" political party, named after the president, all have help grow doubt in the fairness of upcoming and future elections to be conducted by the 6-member electoral council.
The title by Le Nouvelliste writer, Roberson Alphonse best described Tuesday night's meeting: "Martelly: Permanent Dialogue on the Permanent Electoral Council."
There was much discussion but not much opportunity to compromise for those who oppose the partial electoral council, who were in the many. Evans Paul, the former Mayor of Port-au-Prince, who was present at the meeting, said of the event as President Martelly's third carnival of the year.
People argued that speaking time was not given to those who opposed the president's decision but to the few, close advisers to the Head of State, who supported it.
In the end, the President promised to have more dialogue to try and bring more people to agree with his electoral council.

Very Conveniently located near Sakae subway Station.
About 5minutes walk from Exit 1
Map but in Japanese: http://www.trusty.jp/nishiki/location/images/map_nishiki.pdf
Plenty of Conbinis located in the area, plus easy access to food and shopping.
Rooms are pretty wide for Japan's standards and clean.
Minus point was that the kettle for boiling water was a little dirty.
Service was great!
Did not choose a breakfast plan so I can't make a judgement for that, but there are plenty of cheap breakfast options in the area.
Not located on the major street so it's pretty quiet and peaceful.
Only some staff can speak english though.
Directions: Take Exit 1 frm Sakae Subway stn.
Walk north til Amano Drugstore (same block) & turn left.
Walk strght til EiTaro (栄太郎) restaurant on the right & turn right.
You shld see a sign pointing to the elevator.

Ohio's family services agency plans to investigate county …
Adrienne Bartholomew, James Brothers and Deborah Nelson (Photo courtesy: Erie County Jail)
Posted: 01/07/2013
VERMILION, Ohio - The parents of the 18-month-old Vermillion boy who died of malnourishment have been arrested and will appear in court later this week.
In November, paramedics were called to the house of Adrienne Bartholomew and James Brothers where they found Isaac Alan dead and six other children, most of which were malnourished.
Bartholomew, 35, and Brothers, 33, were charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, five counts of endangering children and five counts of patient endangerment, Chief Deputy Jared Oliver said. Both are being held on $28,000 cash bond.
Deputies also arrested the 18-month-old's grandmother. Deborah Nelson, 62, was charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter, five counts of endangering children and five counts of patient endangerment. Her bond is set at $320,000, Oliver said.
All three are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. In the meantime, they are being held at the Erie County Jail.
In her call to 911, Bartholomew described Isaac Alan as "stiff as a board" and could be heard asking family members "When's the last time somebody went in there to check?"
The autopsy said the boy died from being malnourished and dehydrated. Four other children were taken to local hospitals. Authorities said many of the children have mental or physical disabilities.

Driving an atv across a field at a million miles per hour (or kpm for you non-American weirdos) bouncing around like a mad man thinking you are going to spill only to bail right outside flag and pull your gun and mow dudes down...
Bf3 never does anything close to that. It's slow moving tanks, dense levels with no sight lines, sniper rifles that suck and shotguns that are godlike, and air battle with jets that has absolutely no fucking bearing on the battle below, a lower level of destruction on maps that aren't nearly as cool anyway.
To get good at bf3 what you need to do is play tdm, find a corner that you can't get shot in the ass in... and fucking camp it. And that's exactly the formula for success in COD. And I'm not sayin that's not fun, it is, but it's not unique. I felt like bfbc2 was unlike any other shooter on consoles. I don't think that's true of bf3.

The Sentry-go Enterprise Option is an optional component that allows status & alert information from all your Quick & Plus! monitors within the environment to be accessed centrally. Using a SQL Server database, the self-maintaining system collates information and allows it to be accessed using the monitor's integrated web server.
Sentry-go monitors run locally on their own respective server, monitoring either local resources or using the network to perform external checks, send alerts etc. Management functions are provided centrally through the Client Console, and information can be accessed via alerting or integrated web reports.
Although these monitors run individually, the Enterprise Option provides a more global view of the information and allows it to be accessed & compared from single reports.
As the name suggests, it's an optional component that can be used in conjunction with the Sentry-go Monitoring System and requires no additional hardware or software above the SQL Server database itself.
Monitors continue to operate locally as before and can be accessed in the normal way via the Console Client & desktop browser. However, monitoring information from across all monitors can additionally be accessed centrally from combined web reports to give a single "enterprise" view.
The Enterprise Option gives users the ability to see & treat all server-based monitors as a whole. With it, you can view aspects of the entire enterprise, rather than just on a server by server basis that is normally available.
This is of particular benefit to larger organisations where multiple Sentry-go monitors are installed. Web-based reports allow you to ...

soup season
tonight i made a tibetan soup called thenthuk. a friend from the bay area has a great recipe posted here. the first time i made it the homemade noodles were too thick. the second time the broth wasn't anything to write home about. but tonight it was nearly perfect. we made a chicken in our little rotisserie last night and after dinner i boiled the carcass for a few hours to make a broth. gosh, carcass sounds so awful. but the homemade broth, combined with the left over bits of chicken, some veggies and the nearly perfected noodle strategy made for a delicious soup. i'm not sure if a tibetan would agree, but dan and tashi approved.
we unfortunately had no awesome tibetan hot sauce so instead threw in some kimchee. that actually worked just fine!
it's a busy week. this saturday is the school's christmas bazaar and i somehow fell into the role of organizing our 4th grade candle dipping activity. lots of emails and gathering of supplies and last minute realizations. i look at some of these parents with kids in four different classrooms and i wonder how they do it. dan is going to play music in the cafe and tashi and her friend are going to perform king wenceslas on violin and cello. they rehearsed at our house yesterday. so cute.
speaking of tashi, i've enabled comments on her blog, moderated by me of course. please stop by and say hi to her. if she treats her comments like she does the mailbox, she'll be indignant daily about the lack of correspondence.
and tonight we're going to watch the grinch. i can't wait to see those cute little whos.

At death, a will goes through probate. Probate is the court-supervised process of transferring property pursuant to the terms of a will. The executor or personal representative named in the will is in charge of this process. Thus, the choice of an executor is an important one.
Probate simply means the process by which a will is determined to be the deceased's final wish concerning the disposition of his property and the welfare of his loved ones. The term probate is also used in the larger sense of probating one's estate. In this sense, probate means the process by which debts and expenses are paid, taxes are settled, and assets are gathered and distributed to the beneficiaries named in the will.
Since probate can be an expensive and wasteful process, a good estate planner will consider alternative testamentary vehicles that are not subject to the probate process. Perhaps the most common of these is the living trust.

Thousands of customers took to CEO Reed Hastings' blog to express their opinions on a move to separate the traditional DVD service from the Netflix streaming options. Many of the remarks were critical of the move, which followed a previous price hike. Netflix had already admitted it was losing customers, after announcing two months ago, that it would raise prices.

Large Hard Drive
The drive in the Acer TravelMate LED notebook offers a spacious 8 GB of free disk space. You can use just a fraction of this for storing all of your important data, applications, and files; then set aside the rest for an exhaustive media library.
LED Monitor
The 11.6-inch monitor of the Acer TravelMate LED notebook is large and bright. Great for use under any lighting conditions, the monitor is brighter than an equivalent LCD and can be expected to last longer, saving you the trouble of finding a replacement.

Updated: Feb 12, 2013 8:21 PM
After being closed for one week, the Fremont Theatre in San Luis Obispo is set to reopen its doors.
Rob Rossi owns the Fremont.
He and his partners have been working to get a long-term shared use arrangement to keep the theatre showing movies for years to come.
He says the theater not only shows movies but also hosts live events, and that agreement helps dictate when those events take place.
"It's actually a test period for the next twelve months to see how we can coordinate movies with other performances," said Rossi, "You know it's very difficult to make the movie business work even in the new theaters, so in a large house like the Fremont, it's even more difficult."
The previous agreement expired one week ago.
Rossi says he believes the Fremont will have no trouble staying open after the year is up but also says as films move to digital format, they will have to find a way to adapt.
The theatre will reopen on Valentine's Day.

College of Nursing
In moving the College of Nursing toward its vision to "build upon its tradition of developing caring and scholarly nurse leaders who positively impact contemporary and future healthcare," the faculty has identified the college's distinctiveness as providing caring and nurturing programs across the curricula and through our service mission. This is done in a dynamic fashion, both locally and globally, while meeting the healthcare needs of the community and the educational needs of students in a culturally acceptable manner.
- International community health courses continued in India during the fall interim and Uganda during the spring interim.
- Undergraduate student (traditional BSN option; RN BSN outreach options) group aggregate projects continue in concert with community health agencies.
- Living Healthy Community Clinic continues to provide primary care services to the uninsured of Winnebago County with financial support provided from a variety of community agencies.
Via traditional classroom, clinical laboratories, on-site care delivery with patients/families and technology, faculty and academic staff provided cutting-edge instruction to all levels of students.
Outcomes for the RN-NCLEX exam continue at the 95-percent pass rate, one of the highest first-time pass rates in Wisconsin.
Outcomes for the graduate-level FNP certification exam continue at 100 percent.
The college hosted a successful re-accreditation site visit for both the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs.
- Academic staff progression from MSN to doctoral level education continues at a high rate. Eleven employees enrolled with two doctoral degree completions.
- Number of faculty/academic staff publications and presentations continue to grow

Fundraising Highlights:
- Established the Leona & Jerry Dempsey Scholarship with a $25,000 gift.
- Collaborated with the college's largest donor to secure a $10,000 gift from the Thomas A. Plein Foundation as a matching gift for her $10,000 donation to the Dean's Discretionary Fund. ($20,000 total from these efforts).
- Established the Nightingale Scholarship and worked to endow the scholarship at the $10,000 level.
- Through stewardship efforts, the college's second largest donor increased her scholarships award from $800 to $1,000 per semester for her four scholarship students ($8,000 annually).
- Engaged college students in fundraising activities, which resulted in fully funding the Tracy A. Lloyd Nursing Scholarship. The students found the process so rewarding they requested another scholarship for which to fundraise. There are ongoing student efforts to endow the Carl Iwen Scholarship at the $10,000 level.
- Completed the first college retired faculty appeal, netting several larger gifts including one $1,000 gift.
- Raised more than $10,000 in sponsorships for the Nightingale Award Dinner.

The openness of childhood
Did you grow up believing in magic, magical places, and beings?
Did the world seem like a place full of magic, wonder, a place where anything could happen, a world where anything is possible?
Living in the "Real(?)" world
Somewhere on the path of growing into mature functioning adults, we stop believing the world is place of wonder. For some of us the world becomes mundane, a struggle or a place full of dangers we need to manage or control.
Remember the first time you realized no santa, no tooth fairy, Easter bunny or unicorns.
No magic.
Magical vs. Mundane
Yet, how else can we explain the wonder of the simple act of breathing, seemingly inhaling nothing and animating your entire body, from nothing comes something. Billions of neurons firing through your brain connecting thoughts, feelings, emotions and memories. The intelligence that tells every cell to divide and multiply, creating you and the world around you. Intelligence that creates stars, planets, universes and galaxies. Quantum Mechanics tells us that through our attention, we create our reality. Not only is magic at play all round us, we are that magic.
So next time you find yourself wondering if there really is any magic in this world, think of the mythical unicorn, a one of a kind, magical creature.
You my friend are that unicorn.
Isn't it time you galloped though magical fields?

As a busy mom, I treasure every second I get with my kids. That cute face they make, the adorable position the baby is found sleeping, even the nail polish body paint (thank you very much Logan!)–I want to remember every one of those timeless moments.
But….I am a BUSY mom! My pile of pictures is growing into a boxful of pictures and I have more scrapbooking plans than finished pages! So let's do this together! Do you feel like you are just so far behind that you can never catch up? Don't fear! Every week, we will take one more step in organizing our pictures into creating beautiful scrapbooks that our kids will treasure forever and pass on to their kids!
Now, I know there are some of you that do all your scrapbooking digitally on the computer but I am old fashioned and enjoy the 3-D ribbons, pictures, stickers, papers, and inks that are like an artist's masterpiece. If you do make all of your scrapbooks and photo albums on the computer, maybe you could apply our ideas to a special occasion book!
First, decide the topic of the entire book. Is it your family vacation to Disney World? Is it a baby book? Is it your child's first grade school year? Is it your family memories of 2010? Sort through your pictures and separate them into smaller piles according to what albums you eventually want to make! Get a small box for each book you are wanting to make and label the box so you don't mix them up. Dont worry about putting the pictures in order yet. Just separate them into their correct album box!
Here are some ideas for types of albums to get you started:
- family vacation
- yearly album
- school album–either by year or child
- baby book
- your pet's book
- Boy scout/Girl scout album
- sports album
- wedding book

There's probably not a more parasitic and stereotypical television show than The Maury Povich Show. Povich is a parasite because he doesn't offer any breadth or depth into who black people actually are. No, that's not what he's about. He's about making money, and he's found that the best way to do that is to invite black women on with their potential "baby daddies", then conduct DNA tests.
The show usually begins with accusations and tawdry tales, and ends with some black guy dejectedly walking off stage, slowly, under the weight of fatherhood, or jumping for joy at the thought of not having to be a responsible human being.

Under unforeseen condition, today you win but tomorrow I win. That is badminton, perhaps any other sports also will be the same. Just grab a beer and enjoy the damn show.
From WMC's frienster...
They look so happy together!
Jumping to conclusion?? Dude, you are the one who came up with that 'aggressive' remark?? I merely asked you to re-read my statement (am sure you are able to do that, right?).
Whether you are a Malaysian or not, it doesnt matter. What has being Malaysian gotta do with BCL & LCW match yesterday?
You need to know this, the umpire/linesmen are humans. If you are looking for a perfect accurate decisions, it wont happen unless they use cameras & computers etc.
And dude, it is highly strung not high-strung. You need to get some facts right first before you run that mouth of yours.
Be cool and run along home now boy.
u can subscribe to become a lines men during OG08.....
go to www.internationalbadminton.org
u can subscribe there..
fine. i'm sorry about that agressive part. jumping to conclusions...you said all those remarks about not making complaints when there was a similar scenario and me bordering on being hypocritical and a bitter loser. also, i merely enumerated the reasons why i wouldn't be a bitter loser (my not being malaysian included), which all lead to one thing--i didn't take lcw's side, not even bcl's. so you get facts your straight.
humans being prone to errors in judging is a given, but i still cling to what i said--in games like badminton, umpires with the same nationality as anyone inside the court shouldn't be allowed. it leaves for a smaller chance of any downright partisan officiating.
about "high strung"...
1. strung
past tense of string (v.). In ref. to nerves, feelings, etc., from 1840; e.g. high-strung
reference: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/strung
2. high-strung (hī'strŭng')
adj. Tending to be very nervous and easily excited.
reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/high-strung
3. highly-strung
adjective (US high-strung) ---> read: in the US, people more often use "high strung"
very nervous and easily upset:
a highly-strung young woman
a highly-strung racehorse
reference: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...7035&dict=CALD
you run along now, bud.
I do agree with you that Lindan has more titles than LCW could ever dreamed of at the moment. But Mental toughness does not equals to wins. It does needs other factors as well to be a champion. All of us definately agrees that Lindan is the best multi talented player around since he has the most titles won. But that does not equal to mental toughness. And if LCW still have long way to go.. i dont think he will be in the top 5 for sometime. And for sure.. those lower ranked than him.. may have a long long long way to go in terms of mental toughness.
WC incident is a thing of the past..no one is perfect again. Its not how you fall but how you pick yourself up. And what LCW did after that.. does need a little mental toughness as well.
A person can have the best brain around with multiple PHds etc.. but it may not make him/her a sucessful person.
[quote=fishyjojo;732222]fine. i'm sorry about that agressive part. jumping to conclusions...you said all those remarks about not making complaints when there was a similar scenario and me bordering on being hypocritical and a bitter loser. also, i merely enumerated the reasons why i wouldn't be a bitter loser (my not being malaysian included), which all lead to one thing--i didn't take lcw's side, not even bcl's. so you get facts your straight.

about "high strung"...
Fishyjojo, thanks for the non-malaysian view. Don't mind Pemuda, he's always like that.
Obviously or purposely, he forgot to take into account Korean MD Lee/Jung walked out of China Open QF due to dubious line calls, and a few other examples covered in the China Open threads. If that had happened to any of our MDs, he would have called them mentally weak, no sportsmanship, etc, etc.
If the same thing happened to Lin Dan or Taufik, they would have walked out in protest... and not be considered as mentally weak.
Nothing satisfies good ol/young Pemuda. So you can imagine the kind of pressure of Malaysian players have face up with....
Dude, some encouragement and applause should be given to our players sometimes, instead of more complaining . LCW is not exactly mentally tough, but definitely improving. His results this year also an improvement from last year, shredding the "jaguh kampung" tag. Yes, he did fall during this WC, but i saw him a better player afterwards. Nth wrong in growing slower than others. Hey, didnt Hendrawan and ZN finally succeeded in their 30s?
Ok, first of all let me say that I enjoy this discussion. You argue your points based on facts and dont resort to petty insults. Class.
Lets look at winners in the other fields i.e. Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Pele & Micheal Schumacher. These 4 are legends in their respective sport. In short, they have won everything there is in their field. Now, tell me honestly, are you saying these 4 are champions without the mental toughness???
Back to Lin Dan, for someone who won 2 back to back WC, you are saying mental toughness dont come into play??? What about that 3 All England titles in Lin Dan's pocket now, you mean he won those based on skills alone???
For Lin Dan to dominate like what he is doing today, it certainly requires mental toughness or else there will be no desire, determination and consistency. And his set of Super Series titles, WCs and All Englands are living proof that the boy is tough mentally as well as skillful and super fit.
What is "mental toughness" ?
Hi Pemuda,
What ants have said is true... many factors are required to be considered if we are to guess who will win a match.
Correct me if I am wrong. To me, a player's "mental toughness" is his/her determination to win... without being distracted by troubles or difficulties preventing him/her from achieving his/her goal.
Even if we were to consider just 2 factors, say "mental toughness" and skills, there are 7 scenarios, as listed here...
1. When 2 players, A and B, are of equal skills, the one with greater "mental toughness" is more likely to win.
2. When A's skills are better than B's, and A is more determined to win, then A is most likely to win.
3. When A's skills are better than B's, and both are just as determined to win, then A is still more likely to win.
4. When A's skills are better than B's, and A is not as determined to win, then perhaps both are just as likely to win.
5. When A's skills are not better than B's, and A is more determined to win, then again perhaps both are just as likely to win.
6. When A's skills are not better than B's, and both are just as determined to win, then B is more likely to win.
7. When A's skills are not better than B's, and A is not as determined to win, then B is most likely to win.
So if we were to bring in other factors considered as important for a player to become a champion, then we could see that we will need a very long list (of scenarios) to study all the different likely outcomes.
Cheers... chris@ccc
Thanks for taking out the dictionary and all.
High strung = "Tending to be very nervous and easily excited"????
Ok, please find below my reply to you which you find "agressive" and caused you to react sarcastically:
Is life ever fair????
Lets look at the Malaysian Open for example, have we not had Malaysian linesman or umpires officiating when our shuttlers are playing??
But put that all aside, lets look at yesterday's game. Do you not agree that BCL was top rate?
Winning and losing, it is all part and parcel of the game. A true champion is one who is gracious in defeat and humble in victory. And LCW has a long way to go to learn this noble trait.
Now, which part of my statement above is "agressive"???
Is the above statement 'high-strung'?
Please also point out to me which part is the 'tending to be very nervous and easily excited'?
And lastly, which part of my statement caused you to respond in a sarcastic manner??
... and why limit it to badminton only? It is the same for tennis, squash and maybe table tennis as well.
Believe the boy can hold a discussion on his own.
But since you joined in, I find your statement about Malaysian players having a lot of pressure most interesting. Well, care to tell me what kind of pressure??
Hmmm ... I look at Hafiz and I sure see he has a lot of pressure. I mean the boy gets consistently beaten in the early rounds every time ... and yet BAM is still keeping him. Lots of pressure for him, eh?
I wonder if Hafiz is playing for China instead of Msia, would Li Yongbo keep him??
Give the boy a little break, maybe more than a little break ..... We saw, he did dig down and gave us a better show at CO. Let's see if he keeps up at HK Open then we can determine. If he does well, time will be needed for him to progress and ultimately becoming a first class player again. He knows how to play the game and has bundance of abilities. Just that the mentality of taking the easy way and complacent have led to his down fall. Don't cut the chord yet, he needs this chance .... more than ever before !!!!
