Robbo sez,
Puppets, songs, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Charles Dickens - all that and more are in our internet video holiday special: "Ruffus The Dog's Christmas Carol". Not just for kids, it's an unusual half-hour take on Dickens's classic - released under a Creative Commons License. Funded partly through IndieGoGo and a lot of sweat equity from the performers (total budget just a little over $5,000) we shot this thing in 4 days in my living room. All the puppet characters were shot against green screen and then combined with CG virtual sets and a pantload of special effects.
The music and songs were composed by JP Houston (Big Comfy Couch). We released this online yesterday, right after we had a screening at the old Revue Cinema in Toronto with box office proceeds going to the Toronto Public Library Foundation. Free to watch. Free to download. Free to share.

A few weeks ago, my pastor's sermon made me squirm in my seat.
We've been studying the Old Testament book of Exodus. That's the book that talks about God rescuing the Israelites from their centuries of slavery in Egypt, all the plagues upon the Egyptians, how Moses parted the Red Sea and fed the Israelites with manna — honey-tasting bread from heaven.
At one point, Moses meets with God on Mt. Sinai where God gives him two stone tablets with his law written on them.
God's law is a gift to his people, my pastor said.

Our study of John continued with a message from chapter nine on One Man's Treasure Another's Tragedy. Sunday evening we studied Genesis nine and examined the Noahic Covenant.
The volleyball league will have its tournament on March 27 and 28. First Baptist will have games on Thursday at 6:30 p.m., and Monday at 8:30 p.m.
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held on Sunday, April 9 after the late worship service. Candy can be donated now since we will fill eggs on Wednesday, March 29.
They were a common sight on most Owen County farms in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some were built below the ground, but it wasn't unusual to see many on ground level with dirt mounded up to form a roof.
Before the age of refrigeration and canning, root cellars were built under homes or in a separate structure on the property; and into the mid-1900s they played a vital role in American life.
First, I wish to apologize for the terrible grammar in one of my sentences last week. The computer has "spell check, " but it knows nothing about grammar. I have got to start reading what I write before I send it to Molly. Miss Martha Holbrook and Miss Lena Watson are turning in their graves. The few who went to grade school and high school will know what I mean. Anyone who went through grade school and high school and had them for teachers had proper grammar pounded into their souls.
The college professor asked a student in his class, "what is the opposite of joy?"
"Sadness," the student responded.
And, to another student, the professor asked, "what is the opposite of depression?"
"Elation," was the reply.
And to, Bubba, the professor asked, "what is the opposite of woe?"
"I believe that would be giddy-up," Bubba answered.
Last weekend I finally watched "Whiplash," the movie with Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons.
Miles grew up here in Citrus County, and J.K. Simmons is the bald guy in the Farmer's Insurance commercials and used to be the psychiatrist on "Law and Order", plus he was in a whole bunch of other stuff.
The movie focuses on the relationship between Andrew Neiman (Teller), a student drummer at an elite Juilliard-type music school in New York City, and the studio jazz band instructor, Terence Fletcher (Simmons).

What a beautiful day to be in God's house! Pete Dawson and Joe McNay teamed up to sing and play their guitars on "In the Garden" and "How Great Thou Art" Sunday morning. Colossians 2:9-14 was the basis for Bro. Dale's message. The children and youth did an excellent job showing us what they have learned and demonstrating their Bible drilling skills Sunday night. Great work.

The stream was named after Revolutionary War veteran John Guill. It emptied into Big Eagle Creek, and although most of the time it displayed a serene demeanor, torrential rainfalls could transform its sleepy countenance into a rugged raging deluge.
John Guill settled in the New Columbus area in 1780, and it was here he built his cabin and raised his family near the stream that bore his name.
All in all, it has been a good week on the Branch, though Wanda, Barbara and Joyce started it by going to a funeral on Monday. Joyce's brother Jimmy's companion, Naomi, lost her sister, Jessie. She was also the sister of Charlie Carter. We send our condolences to the family. Uncle also had his 89th birthday on Saturday. Tim and Trina's son had a birthday on the 28th. Trina is one of the Schimmoeller twins. Wanda also said she forgot to mention Butch Lawrence's birthday on Valentine's Day. Happy birthday to all the February celebrants.

ONE Direction star Zayn Malik has been accused of "enticing jihad" and
"pimping Islam" to young female fans in an outrageous online attack.
Right wing blogger Debbie Schlussel warned parents to "keep their daughters
away" from the British boyband, currently on a sell-out US tour.
The American claimed Zayn, 19, had posted tweets for fans about Ramadan and
She ranted: "The scary thing is that millions of girls in America and around
the world are infatuated with the members of One Direction, including Malik.
"He knows the power he has over these mindless girls and is using that
influence to preach the Islamic faith. It's dangerous."
She even blasted Zayn for wearing a keffiyeh — a cotton scarf — which she
called "official garb of Islamic terrorism".
Schlussel ended the blog with: "Keep your daughters away from Zayn Malik's
enticing jihad.
"With the boy band One Direction, it's all about pimping Islam amid the
deceptive visage of angelic, effeminate boys in a band.
"Yup, for them there is definitely One Direction: facing Mecca."
But US Muslim campaigner Zuhdi Jasser rejected her wild claims about Zayn.
He said: "All the power to him to be respectful to his faith."
US screenwriter Wajahat Ali added: "What we have seen in the last 10 years is
that you can be an artist who is Muslim and can be practicing and doing art
that is inspired by your beliefs, but does not have to be overtly Islamic or using
religious language.
"A guy like Zayn Malik can really help open those minds and convey that as a
generation we are moving ahead."

I HAVE a problem. I do not want the police authorities to be replaced by an individual commissioner.
Most, if not all will be supported by a political party as individuals do not have the money or organisation to campaign for themselves. One has already withdrawn for this reason.
Do we really want politicians to have control of our police?
An individual will also be easier to influence, I almost wrote bribe, than a committee.
So, what do I do?
If I don't vote it will be put down to apathy and I don't know enough to choose the best candidate.
Unless someone has a better idea I shall spoil my voting paper, possibly by writing "Keep the Police Authorities" on it.
In this way I will have voted, and spoiled papers are counted and recorded.
If spoiled papers exceeded the votes for any one candidate the message might get through.
If you don't want police policy controlled by politicians please join me and vote.

Family Cruise on HAL: Noordam Cruise Review by Ivystone
Overall Member Rating
Family Cruise on HAL
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation We arrived to the port about 1:30. I found the porters at dockside to be a little too forward. The porter actually held out his hand and ASKED for his tip and he still wasn't done unloading our luggage! Hello, we're from New Jersey we understand the whole More tipping thing, but at least wait until you're done completing your service first! The embarkation was somewhat less smooth than our embarkation on the RCL line. It seemed more haphazard but maybe it's a difference in the ports.
Our Cabin The cabin I chose for this cruise was an obstructed-view room. Last year, I wanted a balcony, but to be honest, they make me nervous (especially with a child), so this time I chose a room without a balcony. Our cabin was really nice and our view was fine. The bed was quite comfortable. I only saw two minor problems. First, they had too much stuff in the closets (e.g. life jackets, shelves, etc.) that took up space in all the closets. Therefore, my gowns had to be sort of folded at the bottom. Also, I think they could have offered more wall hooks to hang stuff up on.
Service Overall the service was excellent. Our room stewards were fantastic. They also got our room fixed up at a good time and did a wonderful job. We had multiple problems with some of the bartenders (mostly in the pool area). Many of them had difficulty making certain cocktails and need extra training. For example, they put club soda in a margarita (huh?). When we would say something, they would suddenly act like they didn't understand English. This got frustrating after a while. We loved the Pinnacle Bar and felt that they did a great job.
We also had a problem with the dining room service (Anytime Dining). Our first night, my husband and I (we fed our daughter earlier in the Lido) sat at a table of eight. I would not have minded, however, the woman who was seated next to me was sick and coughed and hacked all through dinner service. I thought she should have either eaten room service or waited for a table for two. The next day, I decided that I would rather eat at a table for two rather than take my chances with other sickly people, so I called reservations and got a reservation for two for 8:00. However, when we arrived, we were told that our reservations were not in the system and they had no tables for two available. I asked to see the manager and he tried to explain that we should have received a yellow card in our room and since we had no idea what he was talking about I "must not have called" and he couldn't do anything more for me. Way to totally tick me off. I told him he better find a way to fix this problem and not to call me a liar and he went off to see if he could find me a table. My husband and I decided in the meantime to eat in the Pinnacle Grill rather than fight with the dining room manager. The dining room manager finally came back and said he had found us a table, but we told him to keep it, as we were done with arguing. However, he did take the initiative in making sure that we had a table for two every evening reserved for us the rest of the cruise, so he redeemed himself!
Dining The food in the main dining room was far, far better than what we had on RCL. We also ate at the Pinnacle Grill on four nights and it was really good. I had a very tender lobster tail and many great steaks at the Grill. My husband was a little disappointed at the tableside Caesar salad. He said that true tableside is when they mash the anchovies around the bowl, put in the raw egg, etc. They did not do this. They either brought out a completed salad or just put the salad in a bowl at your table if you asked for it tableside. Service in both dining rooms by the waiters was very good. They were all very friendly and never messed up our orders.
I was a little disappointed in the Lido. Service there was iffy and it seemed like many of the drink servers avoided diners like the plague. I would have liked something other than iced tea or water with my lunch... Also, the coffee makers on one side of the Lido were out of service the entire cruise. There weren't many dinner choices for kids. We fed our daughter there at dinner time so that she could get back to the kid's program quickly. I thought that the food choices for breakfast and lunch were very good, though, and liked that they put warmers over your plate. Also, I thought the set-up was very good and the lines moved quickly.
Kid's Program My daughter just absolutely LOVED the kid's club. They did a fabulous job! My daughter just couldn't wait to go every day and every night. The program had so many fun things planned and the coordinators were awesome. There were about ten kids in my daughter's age range on this cruise (4-6 year olds). HAL is doing a great job with this program.
Entertainment I'm not the type who is into shows or disco's, so I can't comment on them. We went to the casino a bunch of times and had a really good time. I heard the disco was empty but all the shows looked like they were packed. The library was fantastic (and the librarians were so nice and helpful, too). I had no problem connecting to the internet and there were tons of books and movies to be had. It is also very tastefully decorated and quite a comfortable spot. The lido pool was really nice and the water was warm. I also like hanging out on the other decks. Loungers were very comfortable and there were usually plenty of towels. Some chair hogging went on but many times I think that people just forgot to take their towels and put them in the discarded towel area.
People We met some really fantastic people on this cruise, especially at our Cruise Critic Meet and Greet party. HAL provided cocktails and a lot of people showed up. It was so much fun! I thought that demographically, many people were seniors, but there were also quite a few families onboard, too. Also, EVERYONE we met was very nice and friendly.
Ship The Noordam is a beautiful ship. It is very elegant, clean and understated. The main rooms are very nice and the shops were very well-stocked. Captain Mateboer gave a really informative and fun talk. I highly recommend going to it if you have the time.
Disembarkation Wow, this went really smoothly. They had a silent disembarkation and we stayed in our room until our time came up. We had paid extra to have our bags taken to the airport, but we still had to claim them in the warehouse area. There were plenty of baggage porters, though, and the process was very quick and easy.
Would I cruise again on this line? YES, YES, YES! Why did I choose HAL over other lines? Well, Disney is TOO kid oriented and RCL's food was bland and inedible. Celebrity and Princess look like neat ships, but I thought that HAL's ships were the most elegant. I also loved the itinerary and that it was a ten day cruise instead of a seven day cruise. Less

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/11/2012 (1747 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The true magic of Potter Potter is how two British actors conjured an international franchise out of a silly spoof about the literary world's most famous boy wizard.
Billed as potting, or condensing, all seven Harry Potter books into a 70-minute romp, the touring stage import arrived in Winnipeg Wednesday evening as a goofy comedy routine that immediately lets the air out of any pompousness brought to Manitoba Theatre for Young People by serious Potheads.
The giggles start when Hogwarts, Harry's school of witchcraft and wizardry, is mistakenly represented by two plush warthogs. They never really stop.
London writer-performers Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner have fashioned a devilishly diverting routine in which the latter, the self-proclaimed Potter expert, is intent on presenting an authentic recap of the J.K. Rowling opus performed by 20 actors from the Stratford Festival. Dan, the taller one, hasn't read any of the books and undermines Jeff (who looks more like Elton John than Daniel Radcliffe) at every turn with improvised clowning and adolescent humour.
Jeff is adamant about playing the title role -- and to ensure everyone knows it, Dan pulls out a marker and scrawls H-A-R-R-Y on his partner's forehead.
Without the expected high-end cast and production values, Dan is required to portray all the other characters, always inaccurately, by switching hats, props or voices. Ron Weasley appears as a red-headed rapper, Hagrid sports an Afro wig and Hermione gets pigtails and a burly baritone. Judi Dench makes a cameo in a black beard for no apparent reason other than to make parents laugh. Potted Potter dares you not to laugh.
To relieve any mid-show restlessness among the younger spectators, scores of whom turned out in their wizard robes and round glasses, Clarkson and Turner strategically organize the audience-participation highlight: The Quidditch match. The house lights are turned up and the theatre is split into Gryffindor and Slytherin, rival factions of cheering wizards. When Dan bats a small beach ball into the audience, the game is on, but neither side came close to scoring -- and no youngster ever will when the goals are hung high on opposite sides of the theatre.
The two seekers, a girl and boy plucked from the crowd, were onstage when Jeff appeared as the snitch, a ridiculous vision in gold lamé with matching hard hat. The suddenly determined girl tackled Jeff impressively, earning a win for Slytherin and surely a phone call from the Bombers in need of promising talent.
Turner, outfitted in a black and white T-shirt inscribed with "Potter 1," may play the star wizard but his spells onstage are no match for Clarkson's goofy shtick. Much of the fun is the off-the-cuff retorts of the unpretentious Clarkson, who made the pre-show rounds, shaking hands of almost the entire audience.
The kids loved his often juvenile antics. After briefly gagging on some chocolate, which dripped onto the floor, he returned in the next scene and scooped it into his mouth, like any child who can't stand wasting good chocolate.
It is doubtful, however, that the kids understand the climactic scene in which Harry and Voldemort sing the late-'70s disco anthem I Will Survive with new lyrics. It looked like it was more fun for Dan and Jeff than for those who have long given up on the idea that Potted Potter has anything to do with bringing the books to life.

Coupe Version Spawn
- Does anyone have any idea on how to get a Hardtop variant in Online play? Any time Tornados spawn in a lobby I'm in, the Convertable variant or the Beater is the only one to spawn. Or is the Hardtop not even in Online? Hinklebomber22 (talk) 02:47, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

Pretty sure the description for GTAV is verbose. It looks closer to a 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood than anything.

Gisele Bundchen has a baby bump
Gisele Bundchen may have denied reports that she's pregnant, but these pics taken in New York yesterday suggest otherwise. Of course, the only real way to know is by me conducting a pelvic exam, and listen, I'm not going to enjoy it or anything. I'm simply fulfilling my duties as a journalist. Now where's my party hat and foam finger?

Hyundai Motor Unveils Its New Home of Motorsport
AUTO CENTRAL – June 14, 2013: Hyundai Motorsport GmbH has inaugurated its new headquarters in Alzenau, Germany. Representatives of Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Motorsport GmbH participated in the ceremony, welcoming guests for a first glimpse of the new facility. Visitors from Hyundai Motor Headquarters in Korea and from subsidiaries around the world along with local authorities, stakeholders and partners were given a comprehensive tour of the building where the team is preparing for Hyundai's return to the FIA World Rally Championship in 2014.
The company was officially registered on 19 December 2012 and started full operation at the beginning of 2013, now employing 50 WRC specialists from 11 nations.
The Hyundai Motorsport facility, which underlines Hyundai Motor's commitment to Europe, is ideally located in Alzenau which benefits from the transportation links of the Frankfurt Rhine Main region. The 8.200 m² building is within a 50km radius of the Hyundai European Technical and Design Centre at Russelsheim and Hyundai Motor Europe in Offenbach. Later this year the Hyundai Motor vehicle test centre at the Nürburgring will also be opening close by.

Samsung GALAXY Fit PreviewSamsung GALAXY Fit
Our is now published - click here to read it.
The successor of the Samsung Galaxy S may be the Sammy phone everyone is talking about, but that didn't stop the Korean manufacturer to announce four low- to mid-end GALAXY handsets - the Ace, the mini, the Gio and the one you are reading about right now - the Samsung GALAXY Fit.
The last time Samsung targeted this market segment, the Korean manufacturer offered a pair of decent affordable handsets - the Samsung Galaxy 3 and the Galaxy 5, so it's time to ask ourselves - can the same be said about the GALAXY Fit?
There is nothing extraordinary about the way the Samsung GALAXY Fit looks like, but we can only compliment its build quality. Fair enough, it's predominantly made of plastic, but you get that feeling of a good craftsmanship when you hold the GALAXY Fit, and the chrome-like bezel surrounding the phone further helps this perception. Moreover, the trademark black glossy plastic (which is a finger print magnet) we know so well from the back sides of various Samsung handsets (like the Galaxy 5) is replaced with the finger print-resistant plastic of the GALAXY Fit.
You can compare the Samsung GALAXY Fit with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
This phone sports a 3.3-inch capacitive screen with a resolution of 240 x 320, which ensures that the items on the screen don't look particularly great. On the other hand, we were pretty pleased with the viewing angles of this phone, and its screen visibility under the sun is nothing to frown about either. Furthermore, the responsiveness of the capacitive screen is exactly what it should be, i.e. very good.
front side this handset has one physical button at the center, which looks a lot like a d-pad. However, it's not a d-pad - actually, its sole functions are to take you to the home screen and to bring the task manager (after a long press). On the left and right of the physical button are positioned two touch sensitive ones (menu and back respectively).
On the upper right side of the handset resides the power button, while on the top side are the microUSB port and the 3.5mm headphone jack. On the left are the volume rocker and the microSD slot. The 5MP camera is on the back, but unfortunately a dedicated camera button is not included.
All in all, the Samsung GALAXY Fit feels good in the hand. What we like most about it is that it feels sturdy without being bulky, and we have no reasons to doubt its durability. Moreover, the fact its back side is not a finger print magnet is refreshing in itself.

It is already up for pre-order in India for about 12000 INR ($270) which makes it totally unjustified buy. It has poorer resolution & features compared to the LG Optimus One. Totally fail.
2. enigma165 (unregistered)
I just bought this phone for 9900 INR here in India. LG Optimus One sells for 11700 INR and is currently not readily available. So, the LG Optimus One is about 20% more expensive. Going by the budget limits (10000 INR) and my requirements (some online work at workplace mainly like looking up for drug dosages etc. with no special interest for games or videos), Samsung Galaxy Fit was the best buy for a low range smartphone. Till now, experience has been very good.

9. Katie (unregistered)
i just bought the phone today, and looks very flash. it has a really sensitive screen for a low budget phone, and so far i am really inpressed with it. the camera is a touch screen which i was worried about, but its self focus is good and i am impressed. there is no real good zoom, but it didn't bother me, unless you use it below 5 megapixel. it has message conservations which is good as weel. all in all for the price i would rate it very well.

Just go and upgrade ur galaxy fit to android 2.3 (gingerbread). u will find an increase in ur battery life. oOr the second option is to download the battery booster apps from android market.

text: I improved the web site using a hit-and-run approach. :-) The most important thing was to have convenient quick links in the sidebar for doing things like downloading Webware or browsing the online docs. I think that is accomplished. I also split up major sections into separate files. The index.shtml file is pretty light and just SSI includes the pieces. This makes maintenance easier. Finally, I dabbled with the look a little bit. Still not perfect, but better than before. News is more concise and extra info is on a second page. Please review and provide feedback. I'm more interested in Netscape 4.7 compatibility than anything else since I use IE. It resides in New/ until I'm confident that it's ready to go: http://webware.sourceforge.net/New/ Thanks, -Chuck

Knit Leggings is rated out of 5 by 116.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicky from An excellent legging! I purchased these leggings on a whim online, and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived! The material is sturdy and not seethrough when stretched out (therefore no visible panty lines). Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised that the band hits comfortably at the hip, and they are not wedgie-inducing! Definitely a great purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by midwestisbest from the only leggings you'll need this winter I've been looking for a solid pair of leggings for a while, and these from Madewell were the perfect find. They are thick and definitely keep the Midwestern chill at bay! They even pass the squat test in terms of not EVER being see-through. They fit at the true waist, but still tend to run a bit long if you're petite (I'm 5'3). I ordered a size S (120#, athletic build).

Rated 5 out of 5 by KCalvert from Runs a little large I am 5'9" and about 140 lbs. The medium size is a little large. I am going to buy another pair in small. Love the quality and they will become a staple in my wardrobe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nikolahero from Great basic leggings. Bought some for myself. & my niece was on the search for longer leggings so i got her some as well. We're both pretty tall with most of our height in our legs. Somehow we both fit a small, though I have more hip than she does (she's 14, i'm 28). I could've sized up too i think and still be fine. I'm about 5'8, 140lbs and my niece is 5'8ish (maybe taller) and around 120-125. The length is great! it reaches our ankle area just fine. Great for lounging around the house or on the go. and we both pair them with Madewell trouser socks. its so cute. I got them in black.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen1070 from knit leggings I wanted to find the perfect leggings, so I googled "the best leggings", and the madwell knit legging was number 2. I ordered them immediately, and they did not disappoint. They are a really nice weight, very flattering, and not a at all see through. They do have a slight sheen to them, so if you don't like them to be at all shiny they aren't for you. They fit true to size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by OhioBrit from overall pleased Overall I am pleased with this item. After reading other reviews, I went into this purchase expecting a legging on the thicker side and these are true to the reviews. I purchased them in the black, size small. For reference, I am 5'9", about 135 pounds and generally wear a size 4 or 27 in jeans. Being on the taller side, I was pleased that I had no trouble with the length of these, as is often an issue with bottoms that do not have length options. As far as the fit goes, the thickness of the seams on the inside leaves visible marks on my legs when I wear these for a while. I never really expect leggings to be a flawless fit and I think this particular effect is sort of unavoidable as sizing up would result in too loose a fit in the waist. The only other major note that I have is that as a few other reviews mentioned, these do have a bit of a sheen to them. It doesn't bother me but I know that's a matter of preference so it's something to keep in mind.

Rated 4 out of 5 by EmilyQ from Great except very long These are nice and thick and very comfortable. But I'm not a short woman, and these were really way too long on me. In order to have them hit above the ankle as pictured, I had to have bunches of fabric around my knees or crotch. I'm 5'7 and this was a problem both with the medium and the large. (I ordered two pairs, one after the other, so I obviously liked them otherwise. But they're very long.)
Date published: 2016-02-11
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jessica from Pretty Good Leggings I searched around for the "best" leggings and ended up purchasing Madewell leggings. They are nice...I can tell they should last awhile. However, true to reviews, there is a slight sheen; they are over 80% cotton but don't really feel "cottony". Also, they seem a bit long and really bunch up at my knees. They also don't stay put just above the ankle and instead creep further down which isn't ideal for ankle booties. I am 5'6 and ordered an XL as I wear a size 14 pant but am wondering if a L would be better?
Date published: 2016-12-05
Rated 1 out of 5 by looo from Shiny and see-through I don't know why these leggings received good reviews. The ones I received were shiny and opaque. In normal lighting you could see the leggings shining from a mile away, it's that noticeable. Also, these leggings run long, as they were 4 inches too long for me. I am 5'4.
Date published: 2015-09-04
Rated 2 out of 5 by gardenes from Disappointed ! Not the same as last year's! Bought last year's leggings. Truly Great. Bought another pair last month. NOT SO GREAT. Madewell changed the content when I compared the fabric tags. The new leggings are way too shiny and don't have that comfortable knit, cotton feel. Please Bring Back the old leggings!

Considering the state of the Japanese economy, the current popularity of penny-pinching advice in the media is hardly surprising. There seems to be a fundamental paradox at work here, in that advertisers prefer programs and articles which encourage the spending of money, while the advice given out these days by "lifestyle coordinators" and "charisma housewives" is centered on the idea of making do without spending money.
In truth, though, this paradox is only theoretical — and in any case, money saved on one thing (everyday items) can be spent on another (fun). What makes Japan interesting in this regard is how penny-pinching has become an end in itself, a competitive activity that can be graded or judged based on how little someone spends while still managing to maintain a middle-class lifestyle.
Into this economizing breach rides Martha Stewart, the American superstar homemaking maven who sells magazines and household goods, but whose only real product is herself. She is one of the few businesspeople who, like a pop star, is immediately recognizable by her first name.
Or, at least, recognizable in America. Japan is the first overseas venture of Martha Stewart Omnimedia, a move that, according to a recent article by Roland Kelts on Salon.com, seems to be based more on Stewart's personal affinity for Japan (she comes here twice a year) than on any specific marketing strategy. This affinity is so strong that not only is Japan the first non-American market for Martha's signature household products, but it is also the first place in the world — America included — where she has opened a store dedicated exclusively to those products.
If such a business model sounds dangerous right now, what with foreign companies closing up shop here or drastically cutting back on operations, then it should be noted that Stewart's success is based on personal vision. In other words, the 60-year-old former model-caterer-housewife-investment consultant did not become rich and famous because she sold the best towels, she did so because she projected a lifestyle that appealed to many women, including non-housewives.
The main question, as Kelts points out, is how well Stewart's specifically American vision will go over with Japanese homemakers. Japanese household advice-giving is shaped by factors both environmental (cramped living spaces) and cultural (Japanese don't entertain at home very much). The advice that Stewart dispenses is often ridiculed for its narrow suburban mindset, but most American women watch her not because they are going to do the things she suggests (despite Martha's constant assurances to the contrary, many are complicated, costly and completely unnecessary), but because they're attracted to the fantasy of elegant leisure that the show embodies.
Compared to a down-to-earth advice show like "Ito-ke no Shokutaku," in which a Japanese screen family road-tests clever household tips submitted by viewers, Stewart's programs seem comically pretentious (do you really need to make a special magnetized stick to measure your child's growth?). But that, apparently, is part of their appeal in America.
In Japan, her programs are aired up to four times a day on LaLa, a nationwide cable TV channel for women that attracts around a million viewers. Last month, the magazine Martha Stewart Martha was launched in Japanese, but for the time being it's only available through subscription. In order for Martha Stewart The Brand to become viable here, these two media formats must successfully promote her vision to the masses.
It sounds difficult. With the help of retail giant Seiyu, Martha has entered the Japanese marketplace by adapting her product line to the Japanese lifestyle, but brand-recognition is starting from zero. More problematic is the fact that Martha Stewart Everyday is a budget line (in the States it's sold exclusively at discount chain Kmart, which last month filed for bankruptcy), while the lifestyle she espouses is clearly upper middle class. In Japan, anyone who possesses the kind of kitchen or dining room Stewart shows off on TV would have to be wealthy.
Many of Stewart's American fans also live in less affluent circumstances than those shown on TV, but, it's the fantasy they tune in for. Japanese housewives are used to the opposite fantasy-reality relationship: from the media they want advice that's practical and within their grasp, while in their purchases they spend that extra 10,000 yen to satisfy their dreams of affluence. Which isn't to say they will ignore a bargain; only that quality comes first.
What Martha Stewart Omnimedia and Seiyu are hoping is that Japanese housewives will project their fantasy of affluent American living onto the Everyday line (Kelts refers to such fantasies as "Disneylike"), but that's also difficult. The Japanese obsession with American affluence has little to do with American reality. As everyone now knows, even the president of the United States munches on pretzels right out of the bag.
In the U.S., Martha Stewart Everyday probably looks snazzy in a cheapo emporium like Kmart. But the Martha Stewart Living store in Tokyo's Yurakucho district is in the same building as Mujirushi Ryohin, ostensibly a budget brand but which, compared to the Everyday line, looks high-end. After browsing the pastel-colored, acrylic-based, generically designed products lining the shelves in the Martha store, Muji merchandise seems more refined and, ultimately, more desirable. Martha herself may be an American original, but her stuff is pretty average.

Olympic stars Mark Pearn and Simon Mason, two of Great Britain's most successful hockey players, will be helping Wotton-under-Edge Hockey Club celebrate its 25th anniversary at the club's hockey festival on Saturday and Sunday, May 24 - 25.
Pearn, GB's most capped striker and a former student at Katharine Lady Berkeley's School (KLB) in Wotton-under-Edge, will be playing in a 'Wotton Legends' exhibition match on Saturday, May 24, starting at 6.15pm.
On Sunday, triple Olympian hockey goal keeper, Simon Mason, also a former KLB student, will be at the festival.
Other activities over the festival weekend include U9s, U12s, and mixed adult six-a-side tournaments on Saturday.
On Sunday, there is a ladies XI invitation match, and boys U15s and men's seven-a-side competitions. The schedule of matches and events begins at 9.30am on Saturday and Sunday, continuing on through to evening entertainment on Saturday.
In addition to celebrating its 25th birthday, the club has had its first season playing at home on a top quality astro pitch that forms part of Wotton Community Sports Foundation's (WCSF) New Road facilities.
The facilities, which are also used by Katharine Lady Berkeley's School, were funded by a very generous donation from local benefactor, Sir David McMurtry.
"This has been a fantastic year for the hockey club," said the club's chairman, Stuart Emms.
"We started the season with our own brand new pitch, which has probably the best views of any club in the country, and are now rounding off the year with our 25th anniversary celebrations.
"Club membership has doubled since last September when the pitch opened and we now run four men's teams, three ladies' sides, and several junior sides.
"We are extremely grateful to Sir David McMurtry, WCSF and KLB, whose successful collaboration has provided such wonderful sports facilities for the community."

A bid to turn an old people's home into a 24-hour bed and breakfast has been withdrawn following community opposition.
A total of 150 people signed a petition objecting to the proposal by Patrick and Bridget Bell for the building in Aldersbrook Road, Wanstead.
People living nearby said the business would cause disruption.
An email shown to the Guardian, between Wanstead ward councillors Sheila Bain and Paul Merry, confirmed the application has now been withdrawn.
Cllr Bain wrote: "I have been informed by Redbridge planning officers that the application for a change of use to a bed and breakfast was withdrawn by the applicant today."
Mr and Mrs Bell can resubmit plans, but the email also confirmed that Redbridge planning officers considered the application to be contrary to Policy C1, which states that the council will safeguard existing facilities for community use.
The residents' petition said: "We believe this [change in use of the facilities] will impact adversely on the residential character of the Aldersbrook Conservation Area, which will have two major bed and breakfast hostels within less than a hundred meters of each other in an area with very few social facilities."

Christoph Waltz Will Meet The Muppets
He's in talks to join the sequel
Now we know why Christoph Waltz has been cultivating that massive, fluffy beard. It wasn't just for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. Nope, he was really getting fuzzy enough to stand alongside the likes of Fozzie Bear and Animal. Why? He's in negotiations to join the Muppets sequel.
If he signs a deal, Waltz will play one of the key human roles in the new movie, an Interpol inspector who interacts with our heroes as they journey around Europe, where the film will be set.
Though the cast will likely feature another batch of cameos, Waltz' prospective part is one of the main characters, along with a Russian femme fatale and a male lead whose motives are frequently called into question.
The first movie's director, James Bobin, is planning to return to the director's chair, having co-written the script with Nick Stoller, who worked up the previous film's script with Jason Segel.
Hhhm… Christoph Waltz facing off against Miss Piggy. Or Gonzo! We can see it now. And we're already giggling at the thought.
Meanwhile, Waltz will next be seen alongside the distinctly more human Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained, which rides in on January 18.

Feature Chalet Matea, Arabba
Exclusive ski chalets
This week we are taking a look at Italy and Chalet Matea. For those not familiar with the resort, Arabba is a beautiful village on the Dolomiti Superski Area. It offers easy access to the slopes including the Marmolada Glacier and very Italian-style apres ski based in the centre of the village.
The Facts
4-5 minutes' walk to the lifts
Close to the village centre
In one building with Chalets Elena and Luka – ideal for groups
Ski room with boot warmers
All bedrooms with TV/DVD
Chalet Matea is on the second floor of this wonderful wooden clad chalet. If you are a group of 20-21 then we can combine it with Chalet Luka on the third floor and arrange for you to all take meals together.
The chalet has a lounge and dining room which is full of character with a log fire and two balconies. The bedrooms are well appointed and all have private facilities.
We are sure these will be popular because of the easy access to the skiing. It is just a short walk to the Porta Vescovo gondolas or the Burz chair-lift for quick access to some fantastic slopes.
This village has a more Italian feel compared to the other villages of the Dolomites and it is one of the highest ski resorts in the region. It's ideal for keen skiers with wonderful snowsure pistes and the nearby Marmolada slopes. We would really recommend that intermediates and advanced skiers and boarders try the Sella Ronda Ski Circuit which is a tremendous day's skiing without ever having to ski the same piste twice (unless of course that you want to).
There is also a ski circuit following the sites of battles from the First World War.
The village centre of Arabba is based around the main square and the church and it is here that you find most of the shops, restaurants and bars.

The outdoor advertising sector defied a generally weak ad market by posting 6.4 per cent growth in the September quarter.
Outdoor continued its consistently strong run, with the $120.3 million booked for the latest quarter representing the sector's 11th consecutive quarter of growth, according to the Outdoor Media Association (OMA).
The main outdoor category of roadside billboards was the strongest performer, recording 15 per cent growth year on year for the quarter to $44.5 million.
The second-largest category, roadside "other" (including street furniture, taxis, bus and tram shelters, and small format), rose 9.2 per cent to $42.9 million.
But transport declined 3.1 per cent to $18.9 million, while retail fell 10.3 per cent to $14 million.
"Retail has been the weakest sector but that's on the back of four years of strong growth," said OMA chairman Richard Herring.
Outdoor retail had suffered due to a generally weak retail advertising market, he added.
Transport's negative growth was a "fluctuation" for the quarter, he said. In the nine months to September, transport rose 5.2 per cent year on year to $54.7 million.
Yet over the same period, retail was still weak, falling 7.8 per cent to $41.3 million.
Roadside billboards increased 8.9 per cent over the nine months to $131.1 million, while roadside (other) was up 3.1 per cent to $128.6 million. The total outdoor ad market grew 4 per cent to $355.8 million in the year to date.
Mr Herring said digital technology was a key driver of outdoor advertising's sustained growth. Digital billboards were now common in shopping centres, airports and railway stations, giving advertisers immediacy to change messages within 30 minutes and the flexibility to alter messages several times a day.
Although digital advertising attracted higher revenues than normal static outdoor advertising for outdoor operators, it was also about 10 times more expensive to build, he said. Digital represented only a small percentage of large-format outdoor advertising but was growing, he added.
Mr Herring welcomed the imminent sale of Ten Network's $145 million outdoor advertising business, Eye Corp, to CHAMP Private Equity's oOh!media, which brings together the No. 2 and No. 4 players in the outdoor ad market for an estimated combined 30 per cent share.
"In general consolidation is a good thing for the market," he said. "It helps investment and it concentrates a professional approach to the industry."

Sally and Johnny are fictional characters portrayed by friends of the site's creators, and the site is a satire of the racial stereotypes often faced by blacks in predominantly white environments.
Although it has been up for only about a month, the site has received 600,000 visitors, many of whom have posted their responses and not all of whom got the joke.
"This ridiculous display of self-righteousness is exactly the kind of white privilege that keeps me mistrustful of your type," wrote one angry surfer. "You should be disgusted with yourself."
Scroll down and the temperature cools: "We've been laughing for days. From all of us who make up the diverse architecture graduate student body at Yale, we thank you."
Chelsea Peretti, 24, a struggling stand-up comedian who is one of the site's creators, said: "It really shocked us how quickly this site took off. We were expecting a huge response, but not this huge." Ms Peretti, who wrote all of the site's content, and her partner (and brother), Jonah Peretti, 28, who designed the site, describe blackpeopleloveus.com as a form of social activism, a way of examining the complex subject of race relations.
"Because the site is funny we knew it would reach people who might not ordinarily think about these issues," said Ms Peretti, a teacher at a design school and the director of research and development at Eyebeam, a non-profit arts organisation in New York. "We wanted to promote dialogue, to get people talking about these issues."
Naturally, people are curious about the Perettis' race, a fact that they have not revealed when asked by visitors to their site.
They said they did not want their race - they are white - to influence how people viewed the site. "Part of the purpose of the site is to have people think about what is this and why it exists and not who is behind it," Mr Peretti said.

Ths is a very nice sterlng brooch by,Frances Holmes Boothby. She has become recognized as an important part of the American Modernist jewelry movement, and her work was featured at two important exhibitions of contemporary jewelry at The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in 1948 and 1955. Boothby signed all her pieces with a lowercase "fhb" and when she was working in silver the word "STERLING" all in uppercase. Today's question involves pieces indicative of the core of Boothby's work. This pin is made with an antique Cinese mother of pearl gaming chip. The design carved in the mother of pearl is two birds with flowers or leaves. Measures 2 3/8 inch long by 1 inch wide.

About MeChicago-based nature photographer doubling as a portrait artist! Looking for creative partners to expand our ports. My knowledge of lighting and posing will show off my subjects in THEIR best light, but perhaps my greatest attribute is the engaging way I interact with whom I work.

From captivating head shots to themed fashion shoots, I want partners striving to create art. My studio is located in the far northern suburbs of Chicago. I also create stunning environmental portraiture and I'm willing to travel within the Chicagoland area. I'm willing to do some TF work if the project is right.

After Directors' Association, now the entire film fraternity is set to go for a day-long fast on Tuesday (April 2) against the reported genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka. Some of the big names have already confirmed their presence at the strike. Ajith Kumar and Vijay have already confirmed that they will be participating in the event.
For the second time within two weeks, the Tamil film industry will join hands to observe a day-long fast. The first fast was observed March 19 in Chennai.
While the Tamil Nadu Film Directors Association (TANTIS) and Film Employees' Federation of South India (FEFSI) spearheaded the earlier fast, the Nadigar Sangam - also known as South Indian Film Artistes' Association (SIFAA) - will fast in support of Sri Lankan Tamils on April 2.
"We received an overwhelming response for our token fast in March. However, everybody from the industry couldn't participate because of tight schedules. This time, we are hopeful of a bigger turnout. Actors who couldn't make it last time have postponed shooting to join the fast," a member of SIFAA told IANS. Continue reading the news on the slideshow...
Ajith And Vijay
Ajith kumar with the mutual consent of the producer has decided to postpone the muhurat. The subsequent shooting schedule of the untitled film is postponed to April 5th in order to avail himself for the fasting agitation declared by the South Indian Artistes Association.
Ajith And Vijay
"(Actor) Ajith sir has already postponed his shooting, while Kamal sir and Rajini sir are likely to join. We are happy with the response we have received since the token fast, but we hope for more," he added.
Ajith And Vijay
Does the presence of all actors make a difference? "Last time, the fast was initiated by the directors' association. This time the artistes will take part too. If all big actors join the fast, the movement is sure to pick up momentum and will help in highlighting the issue more," he said.
Ajith And Vijay
The fast will take place at the Nadigar Sangam premises in Chennai.

Everyone loves their daddy and thinks that their dad is the best, but this guy in the US may well take the title for most awesome dad of the year if not the last decade.
When his daughter graduated recently he gave her a Dr Seuss book as a gift. She loved the book and thanked him, but when he asked her to open it she burst into tears because "Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I've gotten every teacher, coach, and principal to write a little something about you inside this book."
Yep..that is awesome.
Here's the full story.
"I graduated High School this week. When my Dad said he had a present for me I thought I was getting some cheesy graduation card. But what I received was something truly priceless. Following the ceremony he handed me a bag with a copy of "Oh the Places You'll Go," by Doctor Seuss inside. At first I just smiled and said that it meant a lot and that I loved that book. But then he told me "No, open it up." …On the first page I see a short paragraph written by none other than my kindergarten teacher. I start tearing up but I'm still confused. He tells me "Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I've gotten every teacher, coach, and principal to write a little something about you inside this book." He managed to keep this book a secret for 13 years, and apparently everyone else in my life knew about it! Yes the intended effect occured… I burst out in tears. Sitting there reading through this book there are encouraging and sweet words from every teacher I love and remember through my years in this small town. My early teachers mention my "Pigtails and giggles," while my high school teachers mention my "Wit and sharp thinking.." But they all mention my humor and love for life. It is astounding to receive something this moving, touching, nostalgic, and thoughtful. I can't express how much I love my Dad for this labor of love."
Heartwarming that.
