Japanese Story Movie Review
Mostly, it's Toni Collette who pulls it off, much as she was depended on to do. The drive to go into production seems largely based on her ability to take a bare treatment and convey a dimensional character, a feat of creating on the fly that demonstrates something about her acting instincts and earthy appeal.
As a geologist and partner in a small software company in Perth, Sandy Edwards (Collette) is asked by partner Baird (Matthew Dyktynski) to accompany Tachibana Hiromitsu (Gotaro Tsunashima), a Japanese business executive, on a visit to inspect Australian mines. Baird's hope is that this accommodation will influence Hiromitsu's company to buy their geology computer program and inject some sorely needed capital into the firm's cash flow.
Immediately upon Hiromitsu's landing, the cultural and personal differences between him and Sandy is obvious: she's a rather direct and overly-capable female with a stubborn personality; he's a wimpy, taciturn, formal type who sees her as nothing more than a driver provided for his convenience. His attitude of superiority over his "glorified tour guide" grates on Sandy with growing irritation as she dutifully responds to his demands to drive out to the Jilbara, a desert more hostile than the atmosphere in the car.
Sandy's warnings about leaving the main road and driving on the barely defined sandy one is rejected and results in their becoming stuck. After a contest of wills and an unplanned sleepover, the pair cooperates and manages to get the car going. As they continue the trip, we slowly become aware that these two "geologists" couldn't tell shale from shinola. They wouldn't know an alluvial deposit if they ran into one.
In a scene when Sandy and Hiromitsu pause to rest in a rocky enclave that might be a geologist's wet dream, he picks up a rock with unique striations. A perfect time for Sandy to wow us (and him!) with a little geologist tech talk. She is still trying to get him to buy her software. But no technical communication enters the dialogue. Not even when the pair is visiting the working iron ore mine at Newman is there a single word to indicate that they have any more knowledge of mining than a wide-eyed tourist. So why does he come all the way from Japan to visit? Why, to set up romantic possibilities, of course.
To get to that part, mutual understanding develops to make the travelers more receptive to each other and to break down the initial frigidity. This leads to sexual attraction, steamy gratification, and the disclosure that he has a wife and children back home. Sandy accepts the reality but, just as they have to confront the kind of relationship they have going, that thorny issue is avoided with a tragic development that throws the last act into soap opera territory.
Grief, not ore, is mined for all it's worth to violin-heavy orchestral accompaniment. Was this a story direction demanded by Japanese investors or an accomodation to the Australian Film Commission, perhaps also suggesting why Collette is paired with a physically slender leading man with little to no charisma and the virility of an adolescent? Okay, so Gotaro Tsunashima's acted before in Australia (the TV mini-series Changi), but where's Jet Li when he's needed? Yumiko Tanaka as Hiromitsu's classically reserved wife is proper to the requirements of the agonizing finale.
Collette is the key to what is engaging about the film. Her talent to project a human, sexy vitality in a variety of contexts has been proven by her American lawyer Michelle in Changing Lanes, her suicidal British hippy Fiona in About a Boy, her intense mother Lynn Sear in The Sixth Sense, and her American housewife Kitty in The Hours. Here, she's provocative enough to emerge with impressive effect even after her character is rendered irrelevant by an inept last act. The threadbare story is credited to writer Alison Tillson, who didn't seem to bother researching her characters' unique specialty. Director Sue Brooks ignored that and the other problems of story structure. But, besides the fun of a seductive trip with Collette, there's travelogue value in the setting, a rarely seen area controlled and cared for by indigenous peoples.
Tough road to hoe.

As if traditional pay-TV operators weren't already feeling the heat from streaming companies like Netflix and Hulu, the internet TV space is ramping up with some of the tech world's biggest players throwing in their bids.
"If launched, the Internet-TV services could have major implications for the traditional TV ecosystem, creating new competition for pay-TV operators that are already struggling to retain video subscribers," notes the Wall Street Journal. "Existing online-video players like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.com offer on-demand TV, but the latest efforts are aimed at offering conventional channels, allowing consumers to flip through channels just as they would on cable, as well as on-demand programming."
Google's service would offer live TV broadcasts via consumer's internet connections, bypassing cable operators, with channels bundled so less popular networks would be included—like it or not.Continue reading...

The question is no longer whether to have a paywall or not, but whether to make it 'soft' or 'hard.'
Maxim, Radar Online, Guitar World and USA Today Sports Media are experimenting with a soft pay wall—making readers watch advertiser videos before having access to content instead of paying. Using a Content Unlock system from Genesis Media, the intent is to lessen the gap between a consumer's willingness to watch advertiser video and marketer's increasing preference for video ads, AdAge reports.
"We act as a soft paywall, which allows users to pay for content and services in a smart way—with their attention to targeted brand experiences and videos vs. their credit card," Mark Yackanich, CEO at Genesis Media told AdAge. "In effect, the brands become sponsors for a readers content consumption, in a very direct and memorable way."Continue reading...

Mark Burnett and Roma Downey are bringing their follow-up to the hugely successful History Channel 10-part miniseries, The Bible, to NBC after the broadcast network outbid History, which will focus instead on its own original content.
A.D.: Beyond the Bible will pick up after Jesus' death and document the rise of his disciples amid religious unrest. The original series, which ran on cable in March, changed the television landscape, averaging 13.2 million viewers and in its first week of home-video release, rose to the top-selling miniseries of all-time and No. 1 TV series on DVD and Blu-ray since 2008.
"I followed the development process of The Bible closely with Mark," NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a statement, according to USA Today, "and knew that the story was far from over after Christ's crucifixion. In fact, what happened in the aftermath—which is essentially the beginning of Christianity—is utterly fascinating."Continue reading...

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" appears to be the motto Turner Broadcasting is using these days as it heads into its second straight summer Media Camp that helps five innovative startups commercialize their businesses to Turner's stable of networks, as well as other Time Warner media properties.
"As you might expect, companies of our size and maturity often don't move as fast as we'd like," said Balaji Gopinath, VP-emerging technology at Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting, according to Ad Age. "Here's a way for us to spread out the innovation across the startup ecosystem and work collaboratively to define what entertainment might look like in the years to come."Continue reading...

For business executives and politicians, it was an axiom of the newspaper era that you didn't fight with someone who bought ink by the barrel. But has that warning changed now that everyone, from penniless individuals to mega-corporations and governments, can theoretically "buy" pixels on an equal basis?
Certainly the Washington Post is leveling the digital playing field just a little bit more with its new experiment in launching "Sponsored Views"—a revenue stream that will allow special-interest groups and others to purchase space adjacent to the newspaper's own editorials in its online op-ed section, in response to the paper's viewpoints. While sponsored content per se isn't new (and is actually taking off) to newspaper-brand websites, few have so specifically targeted lobbyists and public-interest groups.Continue reading...

Reports broke late last week alleging that Bloomberg reporters were using the Bloomberg terminal to track (some might say stalk) employees at its financial services clients such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, all the way up to high-profile individuals such as Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner — even, apparently, the new company's namesake founder, Michael Bloomberg.
Following a company-wide email on Friday and a Buzzfeed report that this ability was disclosed by a Bloomberg TV reporter two years ago, Bloomberg L.P.

The History Channel is riding its biblical success into car restoration with the return of its wildly popular Counting Cars series.
Star and self-taught mechanic, Danny "The Count" Koker, owns 58 cars and 78 motorcycles. This season, he'll work with Ziggy Marley to restore and customize Bob Marley's last car, a 1980 Mercedes 500SL Euro and customize a soap box derby car for a youngster.
To build up enough hype around the series, a mobile marketing tour is showcasing a 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville—customized by Koker and filled with thousands of miniature cars—is scheduled to stop at auto shows, NASCAR races and festivals nationwide giving car enthusiasts the opportunity to guess the amount of miniature cars in the vehicle for a chance to win the Cadillac. Fans at home can submit a guess online thanks to interactive photos of the car.Continue reading...

Bacon 'n' Eggs
Steve Tibbitts
Member since
This was one of our favorites for breakfast. The eggs aren't bad but it's not like you're willing to pack in fresh eggs either. The key with them is to give them ample time to cook and then drain the excess water. The bacon turned out great! All in all this was a really good meal and one we'll mark as a keeper.

... br> The trick was to go back to our hotel on our own without spending much money. So, we took the city bus, 2 yuans, and we located a street full of store. I run out of vitamins and didn't want to be without them. From there we decided to splurge and go to our hotel by taxi. 30 yuans was what we paid about 5 dollars for the two of us. Not too bad.
Tomorrow we meet our travel ...
A China Day
... knife but know that it won't work day. A China day is-Where is the airport and get me there fast day. A China day is-if you look at me one more time because I am not Chinese I am going to punch you day. Well my China day was not that severe it was more like. I miss my children day, I miss my friends day, and I miss my home country day. Then at the end of my China day, I tutored two young boys English and I thought this is what I like to do day. Make a difference Day.

Spectrum Specialty Products Press Release - November 5, 2010
for Wide Range of Medium to High Gain Applications
Fairview, PA – November 5, 2010 – Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products announces their high performance radome antenna assemblies designed for Plug-n-Play use in ISM, Satellite and WiFi applications. The AR series antenna assemblies feature a patch antenna mounted on an optimized ground plane with a pigtail cable to a connector, which is tuned and packaged for the plastic radome that covers complete assembly. These antennas are available in three basic antenna sizes, AR25, AR45 and AR78, and include industry-standard cables such as RG-316 to MMCX or SMA connectors, with other options available.
By incorporating the industry's most efficient 25x25mm ceramic antenna element, the compact AR25 antenna series is well suited for satellite-based antenna applications such as GPS, GlobalStar and Iridium. The AR25 operates between 1500 and 1700 GHz and with its small size of 1.77" x 1.77" x 0.5" is ideal for a variety of GPS applications, including: military drones and bots, asset tracking and other types of locations services, and timing applications such as cellular base stations and traffic control timing.
Spectrum's AR45 antenna series is extremely versatile due to its wide range of operational frequencies and gain profiles, with a peak gain of 3-6 dBic. Designed for high gain GPS applications as well as medium to high gain WiFi applications, the AR45 antenna is an excellent choice for GlobalStar and Iridium designs. Measuring just 2.81" x 2.81" x 0.885", the AR45 works for applications such as location services, industrial and utility timing control, asset tracking, short burst data, RFID, local area wireless networks, and other high performance WiFi applications.
Dedicated to the 868 MHz and 915 MHz ISM bands, the AR78 antenna series is ideal for medium to high gain applications including medical, industrial point-to-point communications, industrial data back haul, RFID, municipal telemetry systems, forestry, mining, military applications and homeland security. The AR78 radome measures 4.375" x 4.375" x 0.870".
Pricing for AR series assemblies ranges from $38 to $112, and is dependent upon quantity and configuration. Lead time is typically between 8 to 10 weeks.
The AR series radome antennas joins a family of antennas and assemblies offered by Spectrum. As the industry's only true vertically integrated antenna solutions and systems provider, Spectrum is able to develop and produce an antenna from concept and design through complete in-house manufacturing, saving time and money.

November 21, 2014
State leaders are stepping in. They say the situation in the Rockford school district has to change. It's rare for democrats and republicans to agree on anything, but they do agree on this. They don't want the state running Rockford schools.
Four local legislators gathered in Rockford Wednesday to address the problems facing district 205. They say a state takeover of the district would not solve its financial problems and send the wrong message to the community.
School leaders are currently grappling with a $30 million deficit and academic performance problems. Lawmakers' other big issue is Rockford's search for a new superintendent of schools.
Syverson cited the revamp of the Chicago school system as an example. The senator says Superintendent Paul Vallas was a leader with a strong financial background and he's often credited with the turn around of the city's schools.
The good news is they haven't heard anything from the state superintendent or the State Board of Education to suggest a takeover of Rockford is on the radar, but they say the new superintendent will be critical to keeping district 205 far from the possibility.

7 Street Style Shots From Around the World (c/o Google Street View)
With fashion week just a few days away, we find ourselves impatient for a dose of street style. There's no doubt we'll have more than our fill come London, Milan, and Paris, but until then, we have to make do in other ways. Since we can't hop a flight in the name of style inspiration right now, we did the next best thing—we took it to Google Street View. A few clicks in Manhattan, a spin around Paris, with a quick stop in Italy, and we got our fix. Turns out, style is a universal language
Paris, France:
Of course this guy is in Paris. He's killing it in the most minimally cool way possible—black jeans, white shirt, and what looks to be a very strong varsity jacket. You win this round, Paris.

Culture, Development and Feminine Liberation
Interview With Professor Anna Bono
ROME, MARCH 10, 2006 (Zenit) - Has women's liberation advanced in the world, especially in poor and developing countries?
On the occasion of International Women's Day, observed today, we broached this question with Anna Bono, a professor of history and institutions of Africa at the University of Turin, and director of the Department of Development of the European Center of Studies on Population, Environment and Development.
Q: For many years, the struggle for feminine emancipation interested the developed world above all, while the feminine condition in underdeveloped countries is still dire, with obvious phenomena of sexual discrimination in the areas of education, law and access to work. In what way can economic and cultural development help to overcome such discrimination?
Bono: History suggests that it was Christian Western civilization that set conditions to overcome discrimination of all kinds, including sexual.
It did so by elaborating the concept of "human person," gifted with natural rights, namely, rights inherent to the human condition and therefore universal and inalienable. And by carrying out three revolutions -- scientific, technological and industrial -- that have enabled humanity to abandon archaic subsistence economies to which, on the social and political plane, always corresponded to patriarchal systems that entrust to male heads of families the control of the productive and reproductive resources of a community and therefore the fate of women and young men.
The different traditional social institutions of subsistence economies have as their object to make this control total.
Economic development and the anthropological revolution, which affirm the value of the person in history, make these institutions superfluous and the discrimination they produce counterproductive.
In this way, gradually, the condition of women and, let's not forget, of children, improves in the interest of the individual and of the collectivity.
Q: Is economic and social development sufficient to allow women of developing countries to attain real emancipation and respect for their dignity?
Bono: Obviously, economic growth in itself is not sufficient to eliminate discrimination against women or discriminatory institutions -- from forced marriages to genital mutilations, including domestic segregation, bride-price and the dowry -- which limit her freedom and violate fundamental rights.
It is also obvious that the discrimination and violations of the person suffered by women constitute an obstacle to the development of a country's economic potentials. Because of this, there must be action on both fronts to achieve lasting and consistent results.
However, in many social contexts, it is also a priority to intensify initiatives geared to the flowering of respect for the dignity of the human person, and awareness of the value of every person -- regardless of his or her sexual identity -- and, therefore, of the universality of the human condition.
Only in this way is it possible to guarantee the girls of today equal and full opportunity of access to education and health care, necessary conditions for them to eventually be independent, aware of their rights and capable of exercising them. In this way, they will be able to contribute to social and economic progress and enjoy its fruits.
Q: What are the positive aspects of Christian and Western culture which have favored feminine emancipation?
Bono: The answer has already been given in part in the preceding considerations. I limit myself therefore to emphasize the fundamental role carried out by the Christian religion in the realization of cultural and economic changes which have made feminine emancipation possible.
Monsignor Luigi Giussani, founder of Communion and Liberation, said that the most revolutionary phrase of the history of culture is that of St. Paul: "Every creature is a good."
Wherever these words do not resonate, the birth of a girl continues to be an event that is so unwanted that it leads to the worst of discriminations, that is, selective abortion and infanticide. In India alone, for example, in the last 20 years, 10 million girls have not seen the light for this reason.

I yanked this:
Writers Cannot Do Math
: Two errors in the calculation of ages, and a third possible in the calculation of mass:
Marilyn de Noram is first described, through Leland's eyes, as a young woman who "couldn't have been much older than Leland" (two years older, it is later revealed). Later, Dulan de Laal says that Dillan de Laal is "fifteen years older" than Marilyn. In the family tree at the beginning of the book, Leland is 17 and Dillan is 27.
At another point, it is said that when Dulan was 25, Dillan was 2 and Dexter "a slight swelling in his mother's figure". Dillan is in fact listed as three years older than Dexter (27 and 24), but Dulan is listed as 52.
The Floating Stone at Laal Station is described as "a single piece of granite carved in the shape of a half cylinder" four meters high and five meters in diameter, and is stated to weigh thirty-seven metric tons. A solid granite half-cylinder of those dimensions would have a volume of thirty-nine cubic meters and weigh over one hundred metric tons. That said, the text does not strictly specify that the cylinder is solid — and a half-cylindrical granite shell fifty centimeters thick would have the specified mass.
both because the errors might plausibly be those of the characters and because it really doesn't matter.

Okay, am I the only one that finds it weird that Friday was Selfie day? Now I can always remember the fond memories of lice Friday, hard run Friday, haircut Friday, and "shit, it's bedtime and I forgot to take a picture" Friday.
Not only does my app save the files in the same place and make a sweet grid, it reminds me every evening at 9:09pm that it's time to add a new picture.
Have you or would you like to take on this challenge?

Blue Paws Kids Medical Bracelets
- Product Review (submitted on August 1, 2012):
- Overall, I like the Blue Paws kids bracelet. It's adjustable to my 5 year olds smaller wrist. My only dislike is that there is quite a bit of excess strap. It would be helpful if there was a 2nd "loop" to feed the excess strap through.

Here's the final trailer for Peter Jackson's final Middle-Earth film, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Check out the final Hobbit trailer below.

Daily news
State funding for school construction and maintenance has declined by 85 percent over the past five years in Florida. The funding for the Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) program comes, in part, from a tax paid on the use of landline phones. A proposal before the legislature would instead shift a portion of the revenue from the tax businesses pay on their electric bills to support PECO.

West Contra Costa residents are some of the most generous in the area when it comes to their schools, approving six bond measures to rehabilitate old campuses and build new ones since 1998. But this year's request for another another $270 million comes as significant opposition to the district's spending habits -- and the secrecy with which it shrouds them -- is beginning to bubble.
Oregon schools as a whole began a full-scale switch to teaching to the Common Core State Standards this school year. According to results from the TELL Oregon, 80 percent of teachers reported this spring that the curriculum taught in their schools covers the skills called for by the Common Core.
A student kept out of the classroom three times by ninth grade is virtually guaranteed not to graduate. In addition, 95 percent of exclusions are for disruptive or disorderly conduct reasons. A group of classroom teachers in Minnesota banded together to request changes to the St. Paul School Board's policies regarding discipline and the mainstreaming of many special education students.
Congress is taking up a large number of education bills this year. Unfortunately, the issue it is ignoring is the one that most needs its attention: an overhaul of the No Child Left Behind Act. It would be an understatement to say that school reform is in a state of disarray because of this legislative inaction.
If you could change the education system today, what would you create? Where would you start? Doesn't it seem logical to start by studying what the top performers in education do? Only when the United States does this, and learns the right lessons from these countries' practices, will the era of education reform truly arrive.
Los Angeles Unified, the country's second-largest school system, is home to more than 650,000 students, and 42 percent of them are overweight or obese. In 2011, the district decided healthier school lunches were the best way to help them not be. A new study suggests that despite the softened menu standards, students are still beelining toward carbs and meat and avoiding fruits and vegetables.
For all the effort and money poured into school reform, Indiana is simply not making enough progress. Only about 10 percent of children from low-income families eventually graduate from a four-year university. We're at severe risk of developing a nearly permanent underclass in our state, one with few opportunities for upward mobility.
At the end of June, nearly a third of Vermont's 60-something superintendents are leaving their posts. That is cause for concern if you ask Vermont's secretary of education, Rebecca Holcombe. "If this was a business, and you had 30 percent turnover every year, you'd think it was a crisis," she says.
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture just rolled back major steps toward a healthier school lunch. This is a travesty that puts the health of our children and their children at stake. We all need to push back on this and make the health of our children our primary goal, not the health of big business or even the bottom line of school food service operations.

Until today, I'd never heard of Greg Oden. My involvement with basketball is limited to getting together twice a week with a bunch of guys who, to be honest, are kind to even let me on the court with them. I run back and forth and try not to get in anybody's way. So maybe there's some inside basketball angle I'm missing on this, but here's what I understand.
Dude takes some pictures of himself naked for a "lady friend." Somehow they are made public. He apologizes to all his fans.
But what's he apologizing for? He's twenty-two years old. Unmarried. A great athlete. Looks pretty good in the buff, I'm guessing . . . . What, exactly, is his crime here?
It seems to me, his "lady friend" has some 'splaining to do. How did those private mementos get out, lady?

Minnesota farmer single-handedly builds 50-foot snowman
11 March 2014 [14:35] -
Greg Novak, a farmer from Gilman, Minnesota, spent hundreds of hours building a gigantic snowman. He calls the towering 50-foot structure 'Granddaddy'. While some neighbors have seriously questioned Greg's sanity, he hopes that the snowman will shake onlookers out of their winter blues. "If you can't beat the winter, embrace it," is his motto.
Novak came up with the idea for Granddaddy in late January, when he had to move great mounds of snow to prevent the roofs of his greenhouses from collapsing. "As long as you're moving it, might as well do something practical with it," he thought. So he set to work with all his farming equipment. Novak began by piling the snow on to skid loaders. He then used a silage blower to direct the snow into stacked cylinders – Granddaddy's body and head. The base cylinder is 45 foot wide, while the others are smaller but still impressive in size.
"Granddaddy's arms are a 61-foot grain elevator. An augur they used to be. The eyes are plywood – 4 foot wide by 6 foot high. The nose is a 55-gallon barrel, the smile is like, 10 foot wide. The scarf is about 80 foot long, the broom is about 35 foot high, the buttons are garbage can covers," Novak describes his creation. Snow storms, frigid temperatures and other weather-related setbacks often hampered Novak's progress. "The weather wasn't cooperating. The higher I got, it seemed like the more weather-related issues I got. Like too warm, you couldn't blow the snow. Too cold or too windy, you couldn't blow the snow because it wouldn't stay up there. But we got it up."
Despite all these issues, Novak built the snowman in 5 weeks. "When I start a job, I like to finish it," he said. His friends and family helped him by completing farm chores as he single-handedly built his masterpiece. Novak had first considered the names 'El Grande' and 'Mr. Snovak', but Granddaddy was most befitting as the snowman stands guard over one of Benton County's century farms.
Visitors are pouring in by the dozen from all over the state, and Granddaddy has managed to charm every one of them. Especially kids like 8-year-old Daniel Kroska. "I think everyone should see it!" the boy said in excitement. "I just want to give him a big giant hug," he added, just after he was pulled away from an attempt to climb the structure.
Valerie Timm, another visitor, told the local media that simply looking at Granddaddy's photos wasn't enough for her. She needed to see him in person. "It's breathtaking," she said.
Jeannie Vogel said: "I thought, 'We're not somewhere warm this week; we might as well enjoy the cold.' So, here we are. It's way bigger in person."
"I'm amazed at the engineering of it. I would love to see how he did it," said Jeff Vogel.
When the Harbarth family came to know about Granddaddy on a TV news report, they drove 70 miles from Brownton to admire it in person. "This is unreal," Gerald Harbarth remarked.
Interestingly, this isn't the first of Novak's crazy snow structures. Granddaddy's predecessor was built in 1991 – he was 29 foot tall. "Twenty years ago when I made the last one, my nieces and nephews never saw it," said Novak. "Now they have one tangible that they can get a picture in front of."
When asked about his next great architectural project, Novak replied in jest: "Las Vegas – warm weather!"

Outdoor adventurer, filmmaker Jon Bowermaster at Memorial Hall
From press release
Veterans Memorial Hall along with Paddle and Trail are pleased to bring outdoor adventurer, filmmaker and writer Jon Bowermaster to Rockford. He will give a free presentation and screening of his latest film, SoLa, Louisiana Water Stories, at 7 p.m., Friday, March 4, at Veterans Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St., Rockford.
Jon Bowermaster is a six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council, and award-winning writer and filmmaker. His recently-concluded OCEANS 8 project took him and his teams around the world by sea kayak during the past 10 years, on expeditions ranging from the Aleutian Islands to Vietnam, French Polynesia to Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Gabon, to Croatia and Tasmania to Antarctica. Seeing the world from the seat of a sea kayak has given Bowermaster a one-of-a-kind look at both the health of the planet's ocean and the lives of the nearly 3 billion people around the globe who depend on them. An eight-part film series documenting the OCEANS 8 project has shown in 150 countries on the National Geographic Channel.
