The game of Polo is a great sport to showcase philanthropy at its best by bring attention to deserving causes like Sentebale. The power of the game meets the power of giving, and that power is amplified when people who use the adjective royal alongside their names are involved. No question about it philanthropy can save lives, help the environment and in general make the world a better, safer place.
Prince Harry of Wales and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho are Co-founder of Sentebale.
Sentebale is a charity set up in April 2006 by Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and the Prince Harry of Wales, the younger son of Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles, Prince of Wales, to help vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho, particularly those who have been orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS. The new organization was a step in Prince Harry's pledge to continue his mother's work with disadvantaged children. Prince Seeiso's mother, Queen Mamohato, a much-loved figure in her country, had died in 2003. Harry told the Concert for Diana website: "Sentebale means 'forget me not'. We chose the name as a memorial to the charity work of our own mothers, as well as a reminder to us all not to forget Lesotho or its children."
Lesotho Coat of Arms
Sentebale is a charity registered in the UK, and with its chief executive in the UK, but carries out its charitable work in Lesotho.
The charity is one of the beneficiaries of proceeds from a July 1, 2007 Concert for Diana in the United Kingdom, organized by Prince Harry and his brother Prince William to celebrate their mother's life and commemorate her achievements on what would have been her 46th birthday. However most of Sentebale's initial funds came from taking over the British Red Cross Lesotho Fund, raised by public appeal.

Most North American snakes aren't poisonous. Some exceptions include the rattlesnake, coral snake, water moccasin and copperhead. Their bites can be life-threatening.
Of the poisonous snakes found in North America, all but the coral snake have slit-like eyes and are known as pit vipers. Their heads are triangular, with a depression (pit) midway between the eye and nostril on either side of the head.
Other characteristics are unique to certain poisonous snakes:
- Rattlesnakes rattle by shaking the rings at the end of their tails.
- Water moccasins' mouths have a white, cottony lining.
- Coral snakes have red, yellow and black rings along the length of their bodies.
To reduce your risk of snakebite, avoid touching any snake. Instead, back away slowly. Most snakes avoid people if possible and bite only when threatened or surprised.
If a snake bites you
- Remain calm.
- Immobilize the bitten arm or leg, and stay as quiet as possible to keep the poison from spreading through your body.
- Remove jewelry before you start to swell.
- Position yourself, if possible, so that the bite is at or below the level of your heart.
- Cleanse the wound, but don't flush it with water, and cover it with a clean, dry dressing.
- Apply a splint to reduce movement of the affected area, but keep it loose enough so as not to restrict blood flow.
- Don't use a tourniquet or apply ice.
- Don't cut the wound or attempt to remove the venom.
- Don't drink caffeine or alcohol.
- Don't try to capture the snake, but try to remember its color and shape so you can describe it, which will help in your treatment.
Call 911 or seek immediate medical attention, especially if the area changes color, begins to swell or is painful.

Tigers improve to 13-3 with win over Rose-Hulman
January 16, 2007
January 16, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - DePauw improved to 13-3 with its fourth straight win as the Tigers defeated visiting Rose-Hulman, 58-43. The Engineers dropped to 6-11 with the loss.
Rose-Hulman led briefly in the first half before DePauw went on a 9-0 run over a seven-minute stretch to take a 15-9 advantage on the way to a 27-17 halftime lead. DePauw scored the first three points of the second half and the Engineers got no closer than 11 the rest of the way.
Mike Moore led the Tigers with 18 points and hit 3-of-5 three-pointers, while Austin Brown and Matt McDonald each added 10. Stephen Schott paced DePauw with eight rebounds as the Tigers held a 36-25 edge on the boards. David Yaraschefski paced the Engineers with 20 points and five rebounds.
DePauw shot 48.9 percent from the floor and limited the Engineers to just 33.9 percent including just 1-of-16 from three-point range.
The Tigers return to action on Friday when they host Trinity at 8 p.m. That game can be heard live on WGRE with live stats available here. Rose-Hulman hosts Hanover on Saturday.

AP with Vista x64 non-SP1
J. Bryan Villarreal 10 Apr 2008
I'm having a lot of trouble getting SP1 loaded on my Vista x64 system. Considering my 56K dialup at home, I'm taking the 6 or so hours to download all the related packages at work at high(er) speed for my home system using AP for Vista SP1
My question is, will this work since I'm not at SP1 yet?
My question is, will this work since I'm not at SP1 yet?
Erik Ramey 10 Apr 2008
Yes. Basically because most, if not all Vista updates are for both Vista SP0 and SP1. There won't be any more development for SP0 updates due to the amount of time I have available. Plus you should probably look into why SP1 isn't working on your image too <wink>

no intention with the caps, but of utmost importance, latitude. Are we gonna have 3k res at video latitude or more like film. How many stops do you predict?
no intention with the caps, but of utmost importance, latitude. Are we gonna have 3k res at video latitude or more like film. How many stops do you predict?
No need to predict anything - Scarlet is going to have (cropped?) Mysterium X sensor, so expect latitude equal, or exceeding that of RED ONE...
hey peter, can i hold you up to that.
nice to meet btw
Just check the specs at www.red.com (mind You they are "subject to change - count on it")... Are You at NAB?
I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
Sensor size (and pixel size) is one of the things that can affect lattitude.
A 2/3" chip at 3K res is pretty packed. Not sure of the size of the pixels on a Red One, but I think it would be a bit premature to assume the lattitude on Scarlet would be equal to it. Not saying it's impossible, just that I wouldn't say it's a given by any means.
If they (RED) were going to use different sensor in Scarlet, they would have call it "Mysterium Y" (or "S" ), not "Mysterium X" (i.e. same sensor as EPIC and RED ONE later on...).
I would even go as far as saying that there is the exact same sensor in Scarlet as there will be in EPIC and RED ONE, but due to bandwidth (and other) reason only 2/3" is exposed, or "activated". At worse they would just "crop" the big brother to 2/3" size. Developing a completely new sensor only for Scarlet just does not make any sense. Jim have even said that they will upgrade RED ONE's to it when is available...
But that is just me... :innocent:
Jim have even said that all RED ONE's can be updated to the new sensor once it is out. I don't see them designing dedicated sensor technology (apart from the size) for Scarlet...
Are you the same killfilm from dvxuser? If so how did your project of turning an hvx into a 2k camera go? adding more lattitude I presume. Something like the reel stream mod.
If Scarlet used the same sensor as Epic, and cropped it, then it would be only 2K.
2/3": 9.6 x 5.4 mm
Super 35mm: 24.4 x 13.7mm
Scarlet is 40% as wide as Epic.
40% of 5K is 2K.
They've already said Scarlet will have a 2/3" sensor, so clearly it's not the same sensor that is in the RED One.
Larger sensors are also more expensive to manufacture and yields are lower - so it would make no sense to use the same sensor and 'crop it.' At least, I can't imagine they could offer a cam like this for $3K using the same sensor.

Healthiest State Initiative announces five key priorities, work groups to improve Iowa's well-being
DES MOINES — Iowa's efforts to become No. 1 in well-being will include focus on five key priorities in the coming year, according to Ric Jurgens, board chairperson for the Healthiest State Initiative.
Iowa currently ranks 16th in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, the official measurement tool of the Healthiest State Initiative. The WBI is a comprehensive daily measurement of the nation's physical, emotional and social health. Brought to Iowa by Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield as part of the Blue Zones Project and the Healthiest State Initiative, the WBI is the largest and most complete measurement tool for well-being in existence today. It includes more than 50 questions related to physical, emotional and mental health.
"Iowans do well on some aspects of well-being and not as well on others," Jurgens said."Working with a team of experts, we have identified five priority areas most likely to improve Iowa's ranking."

Round two of Maryville/St. Pius X was every bit the mismatch as the first go-around.
At times, maybe even a little bit worse.
Class 3 No. 2 Maryville completed an amazingly dominant run to the Class 3 District 8 title with a 48-7 thumping of sixth-seeded St. Pius X in the championship game Monday night at the Hound Pound.
It was Maryville's third consecutive win by at least 40 points in district play, this one coming against an opponent they beat earlier this year 43-7.
District champions for the fifth year in a row, the Hounds have reached their furthest point in the playoffs since 2009 and will face Center in the quarterfinals Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Kansas City.
St. Pius X, which entered on a five-game win streak, finished at 5-7.
"This program that has been built here by Chris Holt and the coaching staff set this team up to accomplish what we've done," said Maryville first-year head coach Matt Webb. "My expectations coming in here were to be where we are right now, focused on winning one ball game at a time. We've had a good group of senior leadership and these kids have really committed themselves to that goal."
Maryville (12-0) played flawlessly most of the first half, putting together six consecutive scoring drives and seven consecutive defensive stops to build a 41-0 halftime lead.
This afforded Maryville the luxury to sit their starters in the second half.
The Hounds scored 34 first quarter points, their largest amount of the season.
Maryville incurred five third downs on its first six drives and converted all of them.
They outgained Pius 370-41 in the first half and finished with a 449-99 edge in total yards.
"That's how we want to play," said Webb. "We came out very focused. That's hard to do. We deal with young people and different practice schedules in the playoffs. Playing on a Monday night of school week is different. It's hard to do to come out and execute at that level. I was very pleased with that tonight and just the whole series of the way the game unfolded at the beginning."
A game after throwing for 300 yards in the first half, Maryville switched gears on offense and ran for 248 against Pius with four touchdowns.
Sophomore running back Brody McMahon started and completed the first half scoring with rushing touchdowns.
Peyton Mizera and Derek Stiens each scored on runs of 30-plus yards in the first quarter. Stiens finished as Maryville's leading rusher with 105 yards on 15 carries. Mizera carried it four times for 66 yards.
Trent Dredge added a 2-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter, accounting for Maryville's only second half points.
Page 2 of 3 - Quarterback Jonathan Baker was 9-13 passing in the first half with a pair of touchdowns, giving him 28 on the season—double his junior year total.
Baker connected with Treyton Burch on a 24-yard score and Kyle Leslie on a 5-yard score.
"Matt Houchin (Maryville's offensive coordinator) does an outstanding job of utilizing our athletes and utilizing our offense," said Webb. "We talk about being multiple and being able to throw the ball when they stack people in the box and run the ball when they don't. We've just been able to go in and out and play a numbers game the whole season."
Maryville's defense yielded only seven second half points again to St. Pius X, marking the 10th time in 12 games they've held an opponent under 14.
Warrior quarterback Grant Gavin put up better numbers than the game before, but finished only 13-29 with 84 yards and three interceptions. The Warrior ground game netted only 18 yards.
Nicholas Kelliher scored the Warriors lone touchdown on a 7-yard run, a play after the Warriors recovered a fumble at Maryville's 7-yard line.
The game was long over by then thanks to another early barrage by the Hounds that sucked away all the drama.
For the first time in the playoffs, the Hounds required longer than a minute to take the lead.
But not much more.
Maryville went 65 yards on six consecutive running plays and scored on a 1-yard run by McMahon to go up 7-0 with 10:39 left in the opening quarter.
The Hounds regained possession at midfield and scored three plays later on a 34-yard reverse run by Mizera. A missed extra point kept it at 13-0 not even four minutes into the game.
Pius punted the ball back to Maryville on third and 13, and Baker hit Burch in stride for a 24-yard touchdown to make it 20-0.
Baker's 5-yard strike to Leslie on third and goal put Maryville ahead 27-0 with 1:04 left in the third.
Two plays later, Gavin had a pass tipped and intercepted by Nally.
Maryville's next offensive play resulted in a 30-yard touchdown burst by Stiens for a 34-0 lead.
The Hound lead reached 41-0 on McMahon's scoring run from a yard out with 8:29 to play in the second.
This would remain the score at the half after the Hounds were stopped on each of their final two drives.
One of these followed an interception by linebacker Paden Maudlin.
Against Maryville's back-ups, St. Pius X put a temporary stop to the running clock with Kelliher's scoring run and threatened to draw closer after a second fumble by John Schenkel was recovered at the Hound 24.
Page 3 of 3 - But two failed gimmick plays were followed by an interception from sophomore lineman Jacob Cacek on a screen that was returned to the Warrior 41.
Maryville re-instated the running clock with Dredge's 1-yard run with 1:25 left in the third.
Both teams went scoreless in the fourth quarter.
Maryville has the next four days to prepare for Center which upset top-seeded Oak Grove 21-6 in the District 7 Finals.
Center (10-2) has only lost twice by a combined eight points to Smithville and Hogan Prep.

DePauw's six-game streak snapped by Blue Devils
December 23, 2004
December 22, 2004, Las Vegas, Nev. - The Tigers battled back from a 15-point first half deficit, but a late 11-3 run by Wisconsin-Stout gave the Blue Devils a 76-71 victory over sixth-ranked DePauw. The loss snapped the Tigers' six-game win streak and dropped their record to 7-2, while Wisconsin-Stout improved to 8-4 with the victory.
The Blue Devils came out of the gates by hitting six of their first eight shots and held a 16-6 advantage after Molly Hendricks buried a three-pointer with 16:25 left in the half. That lead reached a high of 15 at 28-13 on Liz Eldred's layup with 10:40 remaining in the half.
DePauw gradually chipped away as a layup by Suzy Doughty, a three-point play from Linds ay Houin and another bucket by Doughty cut the gap to 28-20 just two minutes later. The Blue Devils pushed the lead back into double figures with the last time coming at 35-25 with four minutes to play in the half.
The Tigers put together an 11-2 run over a 1:44 stretch to cut the margin to 37-36 before the teams went to the break with Wisconsin-Stout holding a 39-37 edge.
After the Blue Devils opened the half with a free throw, the Tigers took their first lead of the game when Sarah Zondor and Houin hit back-to-back buckets and Zondor knockd down a pair of free throws to maked it 43-40 just two minutes into the half.
The lead see-sawed for much of the second half with a total of six ties and 12 lead changes. Gretchen Haehl's two free throws with 4:26 remaining broke the game's eighth tie and gave DePauw a 67-65 advantage. Amy Argetsinger make one of two free throws to make it 68-65 with 4:08 remaining
Lindsey Geissler hit back-to-back layups to put the Blue Devils back in front at 69-68 with 3:35 left. Kelsey Duoss pushed the lead to 70-68 with a free throw at thre 2:16 mark after the Blue Devils grabbed three offensive rebounds on the possession.
A three-point play by Duoss with 1:32 left made it 73-68, but Zondor's three-pointer with 1:08 remaining cut the margin to 73-71. Lindsey Erichsen's layup with 46 seconds left pushed the gap to 75-71.
Zondor's driving layup with 28 seconds was off the mark and the Tigers sent Erin Churchill to the line where she hit one of two shots to make it 76-71. The Tigers weren't able to get a shot off until seven seconds remained and the Blue Devils grabbed that rebound and ran out the clock.
During the game-ending 11-3 run by Stout, the Tigers hit just one of eight shots and were outrebounded 11-5.
Zondor and Argetsinger led all scorers with 17 points apiece, while Houin chipped in 12 and a team-high nine rebounds. Duoss led the Blue Devils with 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds with Erichsen adding 14 points. Geissler scored 13 and Churchill rounded out the double-figure scorers with 12.
The Tigers shot just 38.3 percent from the field which was their second-worst outing of the season and they were outrebounded for the first time this season with Stout holding a 46-38 advantage.
DePauw returns to action on Wednesday, December 29, when it hosts Earlham College at 6 p.m. in the first annual Amy Hasbrook Memorial Tournament. Anderson and Thomas More square off in the first game at 4 p.m. DePauw takes on Anderson on Thursday, December 30, at 6 p.m. with Thomas More and Earlham tangling at 4 p.m. in the classic format.

Tales (and pictures!) of trips in Japan
Posted 16 April 2009 - 10:07 PM
It would take me a year to eat all of those sweets!
My favorite depachika snack are those semi frozen mochi, the name is currently escaping me...

My 12 year old daughter Wendy and I went to Japan in mid-December 2008 to spend the Christmas and New Years holidays there with friends. (My husband passed away in July and we didnt want to spend the holidays at home, where there are too many memories.) It was the best decision we could possibly have made. Surrounded by the warmth of old friendships, we felt very, very comforted and loved. Wendy, who is into anime, was thrilled at her first visit to Japan, and even a broken ankle couldn't stop her from wanting to see and do everything. (She fell about a week before our trip and went through Japan with her leg in a neon-green cast onsen and all!) And I of course love Japan and was excited to be back for the first time in 17 years.
During our three weeks there, we stayed with an American friend who lives in Tokyo, visited a secret ryokan in Chichibu, traveled to Kyoto for several days (including an overnight stay at a Zen temple), spent the New Year's holidays at the home of a Japanese friend who lives near Mount Fuji, and met Torakris and her family in Yokahama. Naturally, food was a major highlight of our travels.
Our eating adventures began as soon as we reached Tokyo. Instead of going directly to my friends home, she met us at the train station and took us to Hanukkah party at the Tokyo branch of the Chabad, luggage and all! About 30 people were crowded into a tiny room, eating latkes (the potato pancakes traditionally served for that holiday) and drinking Coca-Cola, while two Israeli women performed a comedy skit in Hebrew. Then it was out to my friends house in the suburbs to meet the rest of the family -- two dachshunds -- and eat a comforting bowl of homemade Chinese hot 'n' sour soup. Can we say a melting pot of cultures?
The next day, after sleeping reasonably late, we met a Japanese friend in Harajuku, stopping for a quick lunch at a ramen shop called Mensaika Hokuto just across the street from the Takeshita-dori exit of the JR Yamanote station. Sorry to say, we were so hungry that I didnt take any pictures of the food! However, I was impressed that the cooks behind the counter wore snowy chefs whites and toques á la Tampopo, rather than the T-shirts and headbands they typically wear in Hawaii.
It was then over to stroll along Takeshita-dori, window-shopping, buying wild socks, and keeping a keen eye out for Harajuku fashions. Wendy was eager to see Cos-Play (short for "costume play"), where young people dress up as their favorite manga or anime characters and re-enact scenes from the stories. Most Cos-Play takes place in Harajuku on Sunday. But Wendy was delighted to come across this young woman in full Gothic Lolita regalia on Monday. (Note the coordinated hair bow and knee socks, printed with cupcakes and teacups, part of the Lolita style.)
It started raining steadily, and we decided we shouldnt continue walking around because Wendy needed to keep her cast dry, so we taxied over to Shinjuku where we dinnered at Champa Thai restaurant in Isetan department store. One of our dishes was this seafood hotpot.
The next day, my American friend took us to one of her favorite hideaways for an overnight stay: a ryokan in Chichibu, the countryside about an hour by train out of Tokyo. Also along for the pajama party were an Aussie friend of hers, two elderly Japanese women (one an old friend of mine, one a friend of my American friend), and one well-behaved dachshund. Our group ranged in age from 12 to 80+, and I haven't had that much fun or laughed that much in a loooooooong time! Based on our dinner feast at the ryokan and other culinary excursions, we decided we would name our group "Six Hungry Women"!
The train station in Chichibu was filled with craft stores and food stalls.
Dango at the station.
Enormous cabbages for sale.
My place setting at dinner at the ryokan.
Can you believe it? All this food for one person!! (And think of the dishwashing!)
From left to right
Top row: (In the iron pot covered by the wooden lid) wild boar stew (a specialty of the country area -- personally, I thought the boar was tough), fresh strawberries for dessert, vegetable tempura, grilled ayu (sweetfish, a freshwater fish now I know why its so revered!). [The dish in the top right corner belongs to the diner across from me who didn't want the fish.]
Middle row: Chicken teriyaki, (in the bowl with the orange lid) clear soup, (in the smaller covered pink bowl) chawanmushi (custard soup), sashimi (hamachi, maguro, and ika, garnished with a shiso leaf, shredded daikon, and sansho sprig), rice (in the aluminum pot covered by a wooden lid).
Bottom row: empty plate and porcelain spoon for eating the stew, dish of pickles, chopsticks, lacquer spoon, oshibori (wet towelette), small dish of mixed vegetables, soy sauce for the sashimi, upside down bowl for the rice (atop a rice paddle for scooping it out of its container), glass of water.
Japanese breakfast the next morning.
Again, this set is one person's meal!
Top row from the left: Salad of green vegetables, tomato and ham; (in the orange dish) hijiki salad, grilled salmon, pan with simmering broth for cooking an egg.
Middle row: paper cup of natto (which I loathe so I didn't eat), assorted pickles, packet of nori to crumble over the rice, a raw egg meant to be cooked as desired.
Bottom row: upside-down rice bowl, oshibori, spoon, and chopsticks.
Not seen: container of cooked rice; teapot. The teacups are between the two trays.
These are the rotenburo (outdoor baths) at our ryokan (bathing is divided by sex), in a roofless cedar room with picture windows open to the sky, the cold air, the sound of birds, and a view of camellias. The tub in the rear is made of dark blue pottery; the tub in the foreground is made of cedar. Each comfortably seats 4 or more people. Each bath had a muslin bag filled with fragrant fresh yuzu tied to the faucet. That's steam you see rising from the baths.
Several restaurants in town are noted for their handmade soba. This is the entry of the sobaya where we had lunch.
We all ordered the vegetarian lunch sets: vegetable tempura, a huge bowl of soba, and a small dish of pickles.
The soba, topped with vegetables.
So much tempura I couldnt finish my portion!
Our Christmas dinner was traditionally American: the buffet at the Hotel Sanno, the U.S. military hotel in Tokyo. Friends had assembled a group of about 30 people, including expats and Japanese, and a good time was had by all.
It was quite a spread, complete with ice carvings and Santa Claus.
After the Christmas buffet, some of our group took taxis downtown to view the Illuminations set up for Christmas. This shot was taken looking up into an archway.
We also caught a free gospel concert and had coffee in Tokyo Midtown, a relatively new shopping center.

Posted 18 April 2009 - 04:33 PM
The next day, we took the Shinkansen to Kyoto with my American friend and her Aussie friend. I was a bit disappointed to learn that eki-bentos no longer are sold on the train but need to be purchased before boarding. That used to be half the fun of a train ride in Japan!
After checking in at the Zen temple where we would be staying overnight, we had dinner at Da Maeda Italian restaurant.
Their seafood pasta (seen here) was extraordinary, and Wendys pizza was the real thing on a crisp, thin crust. But skip their desserts, which are macrobiotic and made of tofu; the ice cream had a peculiar texture like ricotta cheese, and their whipped cream wasnt!
The next morning, we had a lesson in Zen meditation, followed by a tour of the temple and ceremonial bitter green tea (minus the ceremony itself) and cookies.
In keeping with the Zen spirit of Kyoto, we lunched at one of the city's famed tofu restaurants. Izusen, a historic restaurant near Daitokuji temple complex, specializes in serving shojin-ryori, the tofu-based vegetarian cuisine that originated in the diet of Buddhist monks.
The path outside Izusen.
Interior of Izusen.
This was the first course.
The second course. When one completes the meal, one has a nested stack of red lacquer dishes of various sizes. The dishes are shaped to represent monks' traditional begging bowls.
That afternoon, we did the usual sightseeing (Kinkakuji, Ryoanji) and checked into the New Hankyu hotel near Kyoto Station for the rest of our Kyoto stay. We were pretty exhausted by then, so dinner was the surprisingly good Viking buffet at the hotel. Also surprisingly, we were the only Westerners in the dining room: all the other diners were Chinese tourists or Japanese out for bonenkai (end-of-year) parties.
The next morning, we stopped for coffee at Kobe Cappuccino Club across the street in Isetan department store. My cappuccino featured a delightful cat swirled into the milk.
Then we headed out by train to Saga Arashiyama, a Kyoto suburb noted for its traditional craft stores. Wendy fell in love with washi (handmade paper) and chirimen (silk crepe), and the stores there gave us charms for good luck in the New Year. We also shopped at the unique craft store Chocomoo mentioned where all the figurines and mobiles are made from silk cocoons.
One food specialty from Saga Arashiyama is sweet pickled turnips. The red or white turnips are sliced paper-thin (you can see through the slices!) and pickled in a mixture of vinegar and sugar. Sometimes yuzu is added as well. Alas, we couldn't bring any home as they don't keep without refrigeration.
Dinner was at another famed tofu restaurant, Yudofu Sagano. The restaurant's owners have collected antique Japanese tableware and kitchenware from buildings that were being torn down.
The food is more "country style" and less refined than that of Izusen. At the lower right, my first taste of onsen tamago, a chilled, lightly poached egg "bathing" in broth.
On Monday we made a pilgrimage to a famous Kyoto Shinto shrine: Kiyomizu-dera. The shrine is at the top of a winding road filled with pottery shops (and snack shops, like this one specializing in cookies and soft ice cream made from kurogoma, black sesame seeds).
Another stop on the hill was Shichimi-ya, an Edo-era store that specializes in shichimi seven-spice powder, the popular chile-based seasoning that is sprinkled over foods like noodles to taste. It also sells collectible miniature pottery containers to hold the ground spices and I bought the third one for my collection. I also picked up a packet of powdered yuzu to take home. Its flavor is faint, but it has the fragrance of the real thing.
From Kyoto, our friends went back to Tokyo while Wendy and I took the Shinkansen to Fuji City to spend the New Years holidays at the home of a Japanese friend Ive known for more than 30 years. Everyone said it would be hard to get an invitation to spend New Years with Japanese friends because its traditionally a family-only holiday reunion, similar to Thanksgiving in the USA. But I merely had to mention that Id like to experience traditional Japanese New Years celebrations for my friend to say Come stay with us!
On the last day of the year, my friend drove us to view Mount Fuji from two of her favorite secret spots. One was from the middle of a ricefield.
The other secret spot with an unparalleled view of Mount Fuji was from a terraced tea plantation. Shizuoka, the Japanese department (province) around Fuji City, is famous for its green tea.
A tea leaf and tea seeds.
No tea for us! We stopped for coffee at a local kissaten called Academic Coffee. The old-fashioned pre-Starbucks café brews its coffee in glass vacuum pots, seen at the lower right.
Wendy just HAD to order the Blue Hawaii, a luridly blue vanilla-flavored ice cream float.
Another photo opportunity was Potato Supermarket, a local chain boasting the unforgettable slogan, Welcome friends! I am Potato!
The house was overflowing with visitors. Besides my friends immediate live-in family -- her husband and parents-in-law -- her younger daughter was there when we arrived. On New Years Day, her older daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren joined us, so all together there were 11 of us in the house.
All meals took place family-style around the kitchen table, probably because it was the only warm room in the house (Japanese houses are not centrally heated and can be quite drafty in the winter).
Here, cooking sukiyaki.
New Years Eve, we spent relaxing in the kitchen/family room. The TV was tuned to the Kōhaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle), the traditional New Years Eve musical entertainment. My friend was sewing a cat ear headband (which youll see in a later photo) for Wendy. Her daughter was knitting. I was writing postcards. Her husband headed out to the neighborhood shrine to get things ready for New Years.
Around 11 or so, we ate our final meal of 2008, toshikoshi soba (literally, year crossing noodles), meant to ensure long life.
Then a few minutes before midnight, we put on our coats (no handbags or cameras) and strolled two blocks over to the shrine. I could hear bells from Buddhist temples tolling 108 times in the distance to drive out mankinds 108 sins -- but we paid our New Years observances Shinto style. The shrine was small and drew fewer than 100 people. We were introduced to a few neighbors (naturally, we were the only Westerners there, but I think my friend must have prepped the neighbors because nobody seemed surprised), then made our way to the altar where we did the ritual claps and bows in prayer.
Outside again, we stopped at the folding tables to drink small cups of amazake (sweet, mildly alcoholic sake) and oshiruko (sweet red bean soup) and snack on broiled squid cooked over fires in old oil drums. It was like a scene from an old Japanese movie.
Brunch New Year's morning (we all slept late and came to the table in our pajamas) was traditional New Year's foods: an assortment of delicacies called osechi, which housewives used to spend days in advance preparing. Like most women, my friend no longer spends days on end in the kitchen preparing these foods: they're bought from a caterer or department store food hall.
She did cook some vegetable side dishes, however, as well as a meat loaf rolled in kelp (delicious!) in the foreground of the photo.
Ozoni is a soup traditionally eaten in Japan as the first meal of the New Year. Its key ingredient is mochi ricecakes; other recipes vary by family. My friends version contained chicken, daikon, bits of carrot, and leafy green vegetables.
Vegetables including (clockwise from top) shiitake mushrooms, konnyaku, carrots (note the flower shapes!), gobo (burdock), snow peas, bamboo shoots, daikon topped with more snow peas, satoimo (taro-potatoes), and in the center lotus root. (Im not sure what the green sprig is.)
The kelp-rolled meatloaf was "good stuff"! I'll have to get her recipe. My friend also made homemade apple and kiwi jams for western breakfasts.
Osechi foods traditionally are arranged in a set of tiered boxes called a jubako and served during the first few days of the year. As with Chinese New Year dishes, many of the foods are chosen because their names or appearances portend good luck -- herring roe because the many eggs represent fertility, shrimp or lobster in their shells because the bent backs suggest an old person (and thus long life), kelp because the Japanese word is a pun for "happiness."
This layer contained scallops, salmon, fish-based rolls, and vegetables.
This layer contained crab claws, kazunoko (herring roe, symbolic of fertility), kuromame (sweetened black beans, for good luck), sweetened chestnuts (their gold color represents wealth), and other symbolic foods for the New Year.
A modern tier of osechi foods, containing various patés, smoked salmon, and the like.
Another view of the New Year's spread. Besides the foods previously described, the two patterned dishes in the foreground hold kohaku namasu (a mixture of shredded daikon and carrots) and homemade pickles.
Well-fortified from New Year's brunch, we made our hatsu-mode New Year's Day excursion to a Shinto shrine to Fujinomiya Sengen Jingu, a large regional shrine that is the headquarters for more than 1,300 other shrines in Japan. The shrine is known for its pure water. People stopped at this small building to fill plastic bottles with water to take home to brew good-luck tea for the New Year.
No shrine festival would be complete without food vendors (the Japanese are nothing if not practical!). These vendors are cooking yakitori. One could also buy yakisoba, grilled whole squid, and cotton candy.
Fujinomiya is famous for yakisoba, so we had a snack at the shrine before heading back to my friends house. (Here's Wendy in her cat ears.)
Along the way home, we also got some great shots of Mount Fuji from the balcony of Guest House Forest Hills, a catering hall where we stopped for coffee.
Back in Tokyo, we met our American friend for dinner at En, a Shibuya restaurant that is part of a chain of trendy Japanese brasseries where the food is a fusion of traditional recipes, seasonal ingredients, and new recipes, all presented on rustic pottery dishes. (There's also a branch in New York City -- www.enjb.com)
One of the many dishes we had was pork shabu-shabu cooked in soymilk broth.
I honestly dont remember what this dish is! Something delicious with yamaimo.
My choice for dessert was sweet potato cheesecake, served with wedges of candied sweet potatoes.
Another afternoon, we had tea at Mariage Frères, the Ginza branch of the French tea emporium. The interior looks like something from colonial French or British times, with waiters dressed in white tuxedos. Tea is served in fine white china, from teapots in distinctive metal cozies.
We also made an excursion to Yokohama, where we met Torakris and her family. Kris and her kids met us for lunch at the train station, and we walked over to Yokohamas famed Chinatown, one of the largest in the world. We had lunch at Daska, which promotes itself as a food theme park. The food court is designed to resemble Shanghai in the 1920s, with individual stalls selling various Chinese foods.
We thought this panda dumpling would be filled with red bean paste as a dessert, but instead it contained ground pork.
Kris in her kitchen.
Kris prepared a lovely dinner of temaki-zushi. On this platter, clockwise from the top surrounding the raw tuna, are sliced okra, squid, red onions and shiso leaves, scallops, some white fish (maybe sea bream), broccoli sprouts, and avocado.
A second platter of ingredients held slices of smoked salmon, cooked shrimp, radish sprouts, pickles, and cucumbers.
We could wrap our choice of ingredients in rice-topped nori, or for a lower-carb choice, lettuce leaves.
Our final dinner was at the home of my elderly Japanese friend, whose husband had been in the diplomatic corps. She cooked a very cosmopolitan meal of oeufs en gelée, Pakistani chicken curry, Chinese barbecued spareribs, garlicky steak and vegetables, and Japanese shredded daikon and cucumber salad, followed by fresh strawberries and Godiva chocolate cookies for dessert.
Despite spending three weeks to travel in Japan, we didnt have time to see everything on our must do list and certainly didnt have time to see all our friends. Wendy is already badgering me for us to go back next vacation!

For one thing, I didn't get to eat as many exceptional things as is typical for my trips to Japan. The first half of the trip was with a group, and the meals, while good, were utilitarian, to meet time and space constraints. Then, when the second half began, I fell and injured my leg enough to slow me down considerably, enough that I even chose McDonalds one morning for breakfast instead of walking a few short blocks to where I knew there was something far more interesting.
I did make one find (for me, anyway) that I think is worth reporting on: http://www.harimayah...ges/system.html (http://www.harimayahonten.co.jp/ has links to pictures and shop locations).
This shop has lovely senbei packaged for giftgiving. The unique thing about it is that, as you walk in (at least in the Tennoji branch that I visited), there are tables and self serve beverages and samples. You can take what you want and sit as long as you want. Then, I'm sure that it's hoped that you will feel moved to buy.
I'm glad I ran across this store and will return if I have the opportunity to do so.

And what did you think of moja-yaki? It tastes like hot wallpaper paste to me, since I met the Osaka-style okonomi-yaki first and much prefer it, but I hear that some people really like moja-yaki...
Posted 20 July 2009 - 10:05 PM
Hi LordB - any places that you would recommend other visitors to put on their "absolutely must go" list?
And what did you think of moja-yaki? It tastes like hot wallpaper paste to me, since I met the Osaka-style okonomi-yaki first and much prefer it, but I hear that some people really like moja-yaki...
Hmmm. I think the moja-yaki is an acquired taste. My dining companion referred to it as "a goopier version" of okonomi-yaki (which I much prefer).
As for must-see places - I'm sure there are much more knowledgeable people on this board capable of giving you better advice. Still, since you asked, I really enjoyed my morning toro breakfasts at the Tsukiji fish market and loved wandering the basement dessert level of Mitsukoshi. Just load up, head back to your hotel room, and go nuts. I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you're willing to shell out the big $$$, I would highly recommend L'Osier in Ginza and The Molecular Tapas Bar in the Mandarin Hotel. Both are an experience and a half but will require reservations well in advance. Also, if you're feeling adventurous, arrange to attend the taping of a television show. Just have your concierge makes a call to find out the appropriate time for you to get there (I went to NHK Studios), take a cab over, and enjoy the show. I had no advance warning of the type of show I'd be attending. The concierge suspected it was a cooking show but it turned out to be a variety show. Despite the fact that I understood nothing, I enjoyed myself immensely, enthusiastically clapping on cue.
What are your interests? Budget? When are you going?
Posted 21 July 2009 - 03:44 AM
I see what you mean by $$$...L'Osier would be a wonderful and very memorable place to dine, but the cheapest lunch menu is exactly what I paid in total recently for an evening of drinks, snacks, and karaoke for 4 adults and 2 teens at our local pub, run by a Filipina friend! Different world...wonder if L'Osier offers a cover charge for people who can only afford to ogle the decor?!
Excellent idea on watching shows being filmed, that would be very interesting.
P.S. When am I going? Already here, just the usual case of the local not making the most of the opportunities that visitors are determined not to miss!

My dining companion on my last trip to Tokyo was working in Chiba. She would make the long trek every night and back to join me for dinner.
Posted 27 April 2010 - 08:01 PM
I stayed in three different hotels and one lodging temple. The lodging temple did not provide food, so discussion of that part of the trip will wait for a future post. The three hotels each had "viking" - Japanese for buffet - included in the room cost. So I took advantage of that, with different, albeit good, experiences.
Hotel number 1 was Shinagawa Prince. I often stay there when I first arrive in Japan, as it is across the street from Shinagawa station (great for catching the Shinkansen). This hotel complex has grown from my first stay to one business type hotel to the biggest hotel complex in Tokyo - complete with aquarium, Imax theater, shopping, etc. Of course, there are numerous restaurants. They run the gamut from a very reasonably priced food court (actually, where I had dinner my first night, not horribly exciting, but cheap and convenient, since I was tired from the flight) to a steakhouse with a stunning view of Tokyo, to traditional Japanese fare, to pizza/spaghetti, to curry, etc. This time, there were five restaurants (I think) that were open for breakfast. I ate at Hapuna, which has a variety of Japanese and western food for breakfast. The thing that draws me there is actually western - smoked salmon that melts in your mouth. But it is truly all good.
Hotel number 2 was Super Hotel - a nationwide budget chain. I stayed there for convenience and price; the breakfast buffet was a bonus. I had limited expectations, as Super Hotel is quite inexpensive. And I have stayed in Toyoko Inn, a similar hotel in Japan, where breakfast was extremely limited (onigiri or bread). So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the food was quite good. There were seven or eight hot selections that varied slightly every day (including things like scrambled eggs, spaghetti, fish, a really good cabbage dish, and harusame noodles), plus rice, plus miso soup, plus a small selection of breads, plus drinks. The plates provided were very small, I'm sure to encourage you to limit your intake, but there's no problem getting more than one serving. I probably won't dream of anything I ate there, but I will be happy to return to eat it again.
Hotel number 3 was Narita View, on my way back home. The buffet here was medium sized. Food was typically good Japanese and Japanese-style Western food, with one or two things with Chinese influence. My favorite thing that I had there was the niku jaga. This may not have been that good, but it appeared before my eyes about the time that I was contemplating that I hadn't had niku jaga in ages, and wouldn't have the opportunity again soon unless I got off my butt to learn how to cook it.
So, that's one part of the food aspect of this trip. More to come, but I'm not sure when - still fighting jet lag and catching up.
Posted 30 April 2010 - 03:06 PM
When one attends an event with a group, bentos are ordered for the group. When one travels alone, one is responsible for one's own meals. I had my meals at the shokudo, or informal restaurants, that are located immediately off the Head Temple grounds. They serve simple food such as curry rice, curry udon, and ramen. Nothing fancy, but quite satisfying.
My favorite thing to get is teishoku, which is a protein choice, usually fish, plus rice, miso soup, and several vegetables. This photo is not from this trip, but it is the same as one of my meals - aji fry teishoku.
It is a real treat for me to eat decent miso soup. I love it in Japan and really dislike it at home - it's always too salty/too much MSG here.
I don't have much to say about the remainder of my eating here, since it was mostly different types of teishoku.
Posted 30 April 2010 - 04:42 PM
The miso soup in the photo looks very substantial, my kind of miso soup!
Funny you mentioned niku jaga in your previous post. I don't think it's hard to make it; just follow the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin ratio of 8:1:1, as I mentioned somewhere in the Japan Forum!
Posted 03 May 2010 - 02:47 PM
I think my favorite teishoku is saba - another thing that I hate at home because it's so poorly done in contrast as to how it is done in Japan. Yes, that is a trend in my posts. Even though I live in a large metropolitan area (Washington, DC), the variety and quality of Japanese food is limited. This is probably because there are relatively few Japanese who live here. Therefore, even though I love Japanese food, I don't eat it that often.
My next, and probably last, post on this trip will be on sweets/deserts. It may take me a little time to get together, though - I have to photograph a couple of things that I brought home.
Posted 27 February 2011 - 12:55 AM
In November 2010, I took a nearly 3 week whirlwhind trip to Japan, and lots of good eating naturally ensued. Visited Osaka, Tokyo and Kyoto (in that order), and with toooo many meals and photos (300+ of food alone!) to organise a day by day write up, I'm just going to post a couple of photos from each place of some memorable meals/food.
Osaka! (and Mt Koya)

Did you stay overnight on Mt. Koya?
And can you tell us a little bit about where you went in Osaka?
Looks like you had a good time, and I'm looking forward to hearing more!
Yep, stayed overnight in Shojoshin-in, the temple closest to the entrance of Okunoin cemetery, and it was spectacular. Food-wise, it obv served all vegetarian (shojin ryori), and I made one of the great discoveries of my life - gomadofu. For those unfamiliar, it's a 'tofu' made with with finely ground sesame instead of soy beans, and thickened with kudzu or arrowroot.
Doesn't sound too appealing perhaps, but it was like the creamiest and most lusciously unctuous soft tofu ever..with a dab of wasabi and some soy sauce, it was one of the best and most memorable things I've eaten in my life, let alone of this trip.
Tomorrow I'll post Tokyo and Kyoto pics, and go back and caption these Osaka ones with a little more explanatory detail!

Aack!! When the server at the tonkatsu place cleared your stuff away, did s/he have a funny look on her face? Once you grind the sesame seeds, they don't like you to use the pestle to mix in the sauce. I guess they think it's very gauche. (A friend (Japanese, no less) did that once, and she got a little frown from the waitress.)
Whatever. I did actually wonder about that, but looked around and saw three Japanese diners do the same, so got on with it. I used to really worry about that kind of stuff when travelling to Japan, the zillions of second level subtle sorts of faux pas a friend of mine likes to call the 'OMG-You're-Doing-It-Wrong Factor', but now I'm all just like, "Meh, just deduct that from my Gaijin Tourist Stupidity Credits, thanks".
Good stuff, RRO. I'm reading with interest, and hoping to hear more about what establishments / kinds of establishments you had each of the pictured dishes at. I'm also here to ask shamelessly if you've time to say something about the katsu there in Tonkatsu (dining), not least because I've been woefully lax about adding more myself.
Will do, we ate lots of tonkatsu on this trip. And thanks for your kind words!

Looking back at your photos, I see that soba shop with little partitions between counter stools...I don't think I've EVER seen anything like that.
Posted 02 March 2011 - 03:20 AM
That little soba shop with partitions is actually a ramen joint, tonkotsu ramen. Ichiran Ramen on Dotonbori. It was quite interesting, not only were there partitions between eaters but the ordering process was completely anonymous as well. The normal vending machine order, yes, but then as you sit in your partition waiting for your order, you realise it's going to come from the screen in front of you..waist-height and with the kitchen directly behind it, the server lifts the screen, pushes your bowl through, bows and lowers the screen. Essentially you see, speak to, interact with NOONE (noone with a face, anyway). Bliss.
Even if you want to order, say, another serving of noodles for your leftover broth, or onsen tamago, you tick what you want on your specially-printed chopstick wrapper and push a little button..up comes the screen, whoosh goes your wrapper, back come your extras.
It's a chain, also went to one in Shibuya in Tokyo, and it was DAMN good tonkotsu to boot. You can see the screen and button here, and my surreptitious lift-the-screen-and-take-a-picture picture:
All the sushi was from the much-vaunted Endo Sushi at the Osaka Fish Markets. The notable things about this sushi place as far as I could see:
1. You order by the plate. Each plate has five pieces and at Y1000 per plate, it's not too bad for value.
2. The pieces on the plate are generally at the whim of the chef, but will always include one piece of toro. Not the best but definitely not the worst toro I've ever had.
3. There are pots of soy sauce and brushes on every table, and you're to paint the sushi with them. The brushes are communal, so you can see the film of fishy oil on the surface of the soy sauce, collected over who knows how long. I couldn't decide whether that was kind of gross or not, but either way didn't really care and just decided to believe it added a desirable sort of je ne sais quoi to the taste.
4. The owner/head chef clops around in very high and slightly precarious geta slippers, complaining in Japanese how much his feet hurt and sitting down every 1.5 seconds to rest. This was kind of annoying at first as it seriously disrupted my need for constant sushi flow but my feet hurt in high heels sometimes too so I built a bridge and got over it.
5. They could NOT believe I ate five plates. Little did they know I have a second stomach devoted solely to sushi and could have gone a few more.

First meal in Tokyo was tempura at Tsunahachi, in Shinjuku. I really love the stack of flavoured salts they give you (plain, green tea, sour plum, yuzu).
The next day, we went over to Ueno to mooch around the markets and park, but got distracted by this donburi place. Look at that signage! Look at my uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe), and negi toro (chopped tuna with green onion)! Breakfast of champions. My wimpy boyfriend went for some beef thing.
Later, for some reason we wanted more tempura, so this was a Ten-ya chain branch in Shinjuku. I went for the hiyakko cold tofu and ten-don, tempura on rice.
We then stopped by Isetan food hall for a wee dessert, two Sadaharu Aoki eclairs (matcha green tea, salted butter caramel) and some Henri Le Roux..salted butter caramels. My female vanity compels me to tell you that it's my boyfriend's withered claws holding the box in that photo.
Posted 02 March 2011 - 04:11 AM
We met our friends, and they led us to..yep, right back to that place. Serves me right for being obnoxious. Look at this queue! This was only the back third of it. I don't mind queueing for good food but 90 minutes is pushing my limits a little.
The sushi WAS great though, and really well-priced for Tokyo. I see now why it's so popular - Midori Zushi in Shibuya.
Started with chawanmushi egg custard and kani miso (crab..er..guts. I LOVE this stuff and ate two servings).
Lunch set:
Aburi (flame grilled) set:
That night, we went to a yakiniku place somewhere in West Shinjuku, where it's a little grungier and seedier (my kind of place).
Incredible kimchi and yukke, raw beef with raw egg. I love this mixed into hot rice:
Then a lot of meat. Meat'n'beer coma meant I forgot to take photos of much of it, but here's some:
To be continued!

The ramen does look good - nice, rich soup. Of course the isolation-partitions are a sad social comment - or another chance to build a bridge and appreciate the ingrained experience of overcrowding in these islands of cake.
It was nice and rich and collagen-y..and at Ichiran, after ordering your base bowl, they give you a 'customisation' sheet where you can specify "a little rich, medium rich, very rich, very very rich" as to the soup stock, the firmness of your noodle (so to speak), the amount of green onion you'd like, garlic or no, menma or no, and about a dozen other options for the included price.
I actually loved the sense of privacy but such is the luxury of the tourist. Thanks for the link - interesting article. Not to make light of a serious issue, but it's funny you mentioned cake - all of my friends there refer to me as 'Kurisumasu keeki' (Christmas cake, ie. past its prime sort of thing) for refusing thus far to get married.
Posted 02 March 2011 - 06:36 AM
You must have been posting just when I was. Your uni-ikura-negitoro don looks killer - three of my favourites. Did you guys spot the "Bikkuri (surprise !) donburi", the biggest one amongst the signage ? "JPY3,980; free if you can eat it all within 15 minutes" Ha ha !
Posted 02 March 2011 - 04:31 PM
Well, I guess that means I'm waaaaay past Christmas cake. But I'm like Christmas fruit cake. It gets better with age.
Posted 07 March 2011 - 01:49 AM
Two more of the innumerable pastries we (ok, I) ate. Pierre Herme beauties from Isetan, Shinjuku.
The famous Ispahan:
And an astoundingly lovely mille feuille:
The next day we took a trip to the tea fields of Shizuoka to visit a friend of mine, a Japanese-Brazilian who can't speak any Japanese but is simultaneously learning and teaching English there (the mind boggles). This was the middle of Bumf*ck, Shizuoka (Australian technical term for a very rural locale indeed):
But with a large Brazilian-Japanese (and Japanese-Brazilian!) population, there're quite a few Brazilian restaurants there, and we went to one for dinner for some pork and bean action:
The next day, back in Shinjuku, I wanted to hunt down an upscale yakitori place I'd been recommended, called Keishoan.
Nice atmosphere to the place:
Sampler of gizzard, liver, quail egg and green onion:
Tsukune set (chicken meatball) with various sauces:
Really very good oyako donburi (chicken and egg on rice):
For dinner, we went to Maguro Bito in Asakusa, one of my very favourite kaiten zushi places in Tokyo. These pictures aren't really very interesting, but I was in a sushi coma and could barely function. Incidentally, this was the only restaurant (ie non market) environment I saw in Japan serving whale meat.. I didn't try any.
To be continued!

Check out Case File #6 at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration! Not colors you would normally choose but scroll down for the DT Pages - wow, huh? All so different and gorgeous! I found this old photo of Alex and Stripes on the couch and they are both so cute that it had to be scrapped. Alex was with me when we first saw Stripes and had to adopt her. She was a great kitty and we do miss her.
I used Crate Paper patterned papers along with some fabric for a ruffle and a yo yo shape. For my "evidence" I used woodgrain paper, fabric, and pleating. For my "testimony" I was inspired by the word: comfort. And when I found the little chipboard couch element from Crate Paper, it just pulled it all together.

Eat When You Feel Sad
Robert doesn't do much. Here's a typical scene: "Robert is on a bridge. He turns on the radio. He turns off the radio. Robert is in a city. Robert is driving slowly. He parks his car. Robert gets out of his car. He takes his cell phone out of his pocket. He calls Jim. Robert says, 'Hey man, I'm outside.' Robert looks at the sky. The sky is gray."
And when we say it's "typical," we mean it's replicated, in front of various set pieces, for 115 pages. Robert goes to school, has sex, and yes, eats when he feels sad. German, definitively a Tao Lin acolyte—the author blurbs German's book and lives in the same apartment—shares Lin's deadpan style. Monotony isn't without merit or meaning, even if it's just to say being twentysomething is a patchwork of meaninglessness. Somewhere on this flat plane an emotional peak or valley or two appear, it's not that they're unrecognizable— Robert's malaise can't exist in a vacuum—but German has painted himself into a corner with his style to such a degree that nothing can be observed. The style dictates that only the surface—even in the character's thoughts—can be noted.
Maybe it's unfair to take German to task for this: It's clearly an artistic choice, and one meant to ape the flatlined hipster life. But readers of fiction turn to the form for a peek beneath the surface, and it's not enough for a writer to proclaim he's as blind to it as we are.

Disney HD XD - ok
Food Network - Looks like a video cd circa 1995

This plugin is based on the rtmpGUI application for Windows PC. The best way to troubleshoot these issues is to download the original application for your PC and find out if the streams work that way. Also, the creator of the original rtmpGUI is also available for stream specific questions. Just google rtmpgui and look for a link titled "Official thread". Even though links are not listed as being down, sometimes the online list has not been updated recently enough to reflect bad links. Just try the PC version first to determine if the issue is with the stream or with your ATV2.
