11 thoughts on “Best Song Ever: Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks”
I loved your translation of the song. The mysterious lyrics and the great voice and melodies of this album give a special flavor that made it one of my favorite albums.
Great piece. Vanderlyle sounds like a district of New York to me, never having been to the city. You should listen to their other work, Boxer is one of my favourite albums.
You must check this out if you like this song. Unforgettable evening yesterday. The waters were rising, that’s for sure.
For some reason, I always thought Vanderlyle was a newly divorcee contemplating suicide. Either way, I greatly enjoyed reading your opinion.
Think this album like their previous albums will just keep get better and better with each listen, the first 4 lines feel so familiar to a recent situation that cause me to interpret the song as a bit of a break up song.
The song title is typical of the made-up names the National give to many of their songs. Frontman Matt Berninger told The Quietus:

I love this post !!!! very good! congrats!!!
I love your article! The first time I listened to this song it reminded me of the same feeling I had when listening to Dido’s Isobel….just less obvious, a bit more deeply nostalgic and so more painful! I love The National, even though I discovered them only recently. Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks is something words cannot describe…sublime! Check out this version with Justin Vernon from Bon Iver….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIY3duxQvIc
Vickie Steele Bacon says:
thank you for the great interpretation! Your first sentence explained my own situation aptly (having come out of the 70’s & 80’s scene). In my feeble attempt to keep up with today’s top tunes, I came across this song and naturally fell in love with it, but why? what did it mean? what was it trying to say that made it so appealing to me? As you said, Google was of little help with the exception of the discovery of your post. You made an instant connection to my understanding, from a generational perspective that’s more akin to my own.
My honest interpretation of the song was firstly catharsis. It represents to me the end of social struggle, and I related the vanderlyle to a college institution. It feels like pressure was released from the listeners at this part of the song… “vanderlyle crybaby cry” isn’t meant to we insulting to me because its not like Matt as a lyricist is immature. To be immature at this point in the album is to me to be taken very lightly compared to how the rest of the album was dark and very thematically and engrossed in these heavy themes where dark things happen in the lyrics and the music.I think by saying cry baby cry he’s hinting towards this but literally he means its okay to move on. It could be the fact that most of us aren’t necessary afraid to move on but afraid to trust ourselves to do so and that results in the need to cry. The experience I get from this song is personal and I feel it could be written for anybody honestly…
this is a great interpretation. i really hope that you have had a chance to see them live since you wrote this – they use this as the show closer, a capella, and it’s pretty much a heart-wrencher/perfect end.

I really think it is a good idea that the FBI investigate terrorist suspects. And when they find them, and probable cause to go get them, I think they should arrest them. I think the suspects should get a fair trial by an impartial jury, and go to prison if they are judged guilty or plead guilty.
But what I don't think is a good idea is the constant political grandstanding that the people who employ the FBI seem to think appropriate to their other agendas:
The Los Angeles Times reports that the Federal Bureau of Invesigation apparently gave the media a different, far more damaging version of an affidavit against a Lodi, California father and son charged with lying to federal officials than the one that was finally given to a court in Sacramento Thursday.
The affidavit filed Thursday did not contain any of the sensation material from earlier in the week which said the son's "potential terrorist targets included hospitals and groceries, and contained names of key individuals and statements about the international origins of 'hundreds' of participants in alleged Al Qaeda terrorist training camps in Pakistan." [emphasis mine--ed.]
Defense attorney Johnny Griffin III, who represents the father, Umer Hayat, accused the government of "releasing information it knew it could not authenticate." The FBI said the different versions were the result of "unfortunate oversight due to miscommunication."
Miscommunication. Right.
We've seen this all before. The last time was the politically motivated Department of Homeland Security terror scare of August 1, 2004, in metro New York City and in Washington, during the middle of the Presidential election campaign.
Our major partner in the particular investigation in question, British Home Secretary David Blunkett, expressed Britain's oblique rebuke of the Bush Administration whose fevered "terror alert" forced the arrests in Britain and Pakistan to be made too soon, before all the useful intelligence had been gathered:
There is also a difference between alerting the public to a specific threat and alarming people unnecessarily by passing on information indiscriminately. I think we have got the balance right. I am being kept fully informed of police operations. As these are ongoing I cannot comment further on them at this stage. What matters is that the relevant authorities are vigorously pursuing their investigations in order to protect the public.
Would that the politicians who currently manage our government thought this was all that mattered when terrorists are arrested.
George W. Bush made a major speech yesterday in my town. It was at the Ohio State Highway Patrol Graduation Ceremony and, as usual, anybody but a previously vetted shill was kept out of the enthusiastic audience.
What was he speaking about? Making the Patriot Act permanent and extending the powers it grants.
Can you guess why any reasonable observer would not buy the FBI's supposed "oversight and misscomunication" as the real explanation of why the scare rhetoric about the Lodi suspects was trumpeted so loudly. Good, I'm glad your head is screwed on straight, too.
Now I disagree with the President. I don't think the Patriot Act should be made permanent and the powers it gives the police should be extended. The reasons I think this are best articulated here.
But I also think that this legislation is important enough both to our safety and our freedom that it should be deliberated carefully, without haste, and without grandstanding scare tactics on the part of its proponents, whether it is passed or not. And I do not see why a reasonable supporter of Patriot Act II would not think this as well.
I am outraged, insofar as outrage is still possible, since it occurs so frequently, at the constant misuse of terrorist investigations, and distortion of the facts concerning them, to stampede this country into particular political decisions.
You should be outraged, too. Even if you support the passage of Patriot Act II.
"Defense attorney Johnny Griffin III, who represents the father, Umer Hayat, accused the government of "releasing information it knew it could not authenticate." The FBI said the different versions were the result of "unfortunate oversight due to miscommunication."
Now, now Joseph. What you didn't report is that Umer Hayat's son, Hamid Hayat, admitted to FBI personnel that he DID in fact attend a jihadi terrorist training camp in Pakistan.
That is why those two gentlemen are being retained in custody. It seems lying to federal agents is cause for retention of said admitted liars.
So it would seem appropriate that the decibel rating on your outrage dial needs be lowered.
You are a fool who cannot read straight. I have never said there was no reason not to hold the suspects and no one who can read straight would draw the conclusion that I had.
Further, if you could read straight, you would have understood that my outrage had nothing to do with the suspects one way or the other, and everything to do with the way investigating terrorism is used for the private political advantage of the President's party.
But I presume you won't be able to read this reply straight, either.
The investigations are being conducted for VALID reasons exclusive of propaganda beneficial to the Bush administration.
Your readers may find this link of interest.
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/086788.php
The greater outrage would be that there be no investigations.
I'm not sure if you are the same Anonymous as Comment #1, but if you are, you still can't read straight.
The first sentence of the post says the following:
"I really think it is a good idea that the FBI investigate terrorist suspects."
What part of, "I really think it is a good idea that the FBI investigate terrorist suspects," don't you understand?
Yes, I'm the same but I started not with the first sentence but the second to last.
In my understanding prosecutorial offices throughout this nation including the FBI operate in an all smothering 'the suspected and indicted' is guilty of any possible indictments the prosecutor can find.
It is not difficult to find this is SOP from DA offices including the FBI.
I do not find that stampeding this country into a particular political decision. But that was your judgement call. I simply disagree with it and am looking for the appropriate words to convey that message.
Well, it may be SOP, but it is still bad judgment, in the abstract, in terror cases, for exactly the reason that British Home Secretary gave--the constant squeezing of the public's adrenals in the absence of immediate danger.
The habit of doing this for political advantage is not unknown in the current leadership.
I might also critique it more broadly as the threat to liberty from a constellation of the powers of mere suspicion or arrest, the "lying to a government offical" statutes, and the recent abuses of the material witness warrent in the name of "fighting terror". But that would require some more thought and another post.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton gives a keynote address at a conference on ''inclusive capitalism'' organised by the City of London, in London May 27, 2014. REUTERS/Anna Gordon/Financial Times Live/Conference on Inclusive Capitalism/Pool
| DENVER DENVER Former U.S. President Bill Clinton jumped to his wife Hillary's defense on Tuesday, saying that the potential presidential candidate is “not out of touch,” after criticism that she mishandled media questions about their personal wealth.Hillary Clinton told ABC News earlier this month that the couple had been “dead broke" after leaving the White House in 2001 and then drew more fire after suggesting to The Guardian newspaper last weekend that the Clintons are not “truly well off.” “It is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt,” Bill Clinton said Tuesday of the couple’s previous financial situation. He was speaking to NBC News’ David Gregory, in an interview that will air on Sunday.Bill Clinton said his wife, a former secretary of state and likely Democratic contender for the White House in 2016, has been working to reduce poverty for as long as he has known her, and that this was reflected in her tenure in the U.S. Senate.
The Clintons' finances have become a tricky subject for her possible White House ambitions.Hillary Clinton, who did not grow up wealthy, has given a series of speeches that earn her up to $250,000 each since leaving the State Department in 2013. Bill Clinton also delivers lucrative speeches, and tax returns released in 2007 showed the two had earned $109 million jointly since 2001. The couple owns a pair of homes - one in Washington and one in Chappaqua, New York.
The Clintons are in Denver for a Clinton Global Initiative conference where Hillary unveiled a plan to help employ and train young people by partnering with major corporations including JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Marriott and Gap.Hillary Clinton also announced corporate partnership plans for child development programs in low-income areas, giving her a chance to promote her work with underserved communities.
“The best thing she can do is focus on policy, because here she has a rather strong record of championing programs that would help the middle class,” said Julian Zelizer, professor of political history at Princeton University. “This is a great opportunity to champion her idea about how the corporate community can be enlisted to fight for the disadvantaged.”Hillary Clinton is in the midst of an international publicity tour for her new memoir, “Hard Choices.”“Hillary has portrayed herself as someone who is in line with the middle class but recent comments show just how out of touch she has become - equating giving million dollar speeches with hard work and millions in wealth with being dead broke,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said. A possible rival for the Democratic nomination, Vice President Joe Biden appeared to try to draw a distinction between himself and Clinton when he said on Monday: “Don’t hold it against me that I don’t own a single stock or bond,” noting that he is listed as the “poorest man in Congress.” (Reporting by Gabriel Debenedetti; editing by Alistair Bell, Bernard Orr)

Coming Soon, A Glade Near You
The fashionistas have had their turn, now it’s time for the interiors crowd! London Design Festival officially started on Saturday September 15 and promises over 300 different events. The London Design Festival is intended to promote London as the design capital of the world. With so many great things to see, if you don’t know where to start Confessions of a Design Geek has curated a great capsule list.
photo: Confessions of a Design Geek
One of the products being launched this week at the 100% Design event is the Glade pendant by James Smith Designs. Established in 2011, Falmouth-based James Smith is one of the examples of exciting new British talent.
I had seen the Glade as a prototype floor lamp at Clerkenwell Design Week earlier in the year. The first thing you noticed about the floor lamp was the strong, sculptural shape and then the shadows cast on the wall.
At the time of Clerkenwell Design Week, James was contemplating making a pendant. Et voila! Here it is and it’s as stunning as I expected.
photo: James Smith Designs
Just like the prototype, the Glade is made from hundreds of willow reeds which have been threaded into a wire circle. It’s a very simple but effective design which produces a striking silhouette. By its very nature, this lamp can not be churned out by a factory.
I am loving the shadows the lamp casts as well as the light peeking through the willow reeds.
By casting dappled shadows through the willow when lit, this pendant really does live up to its name.
James Smith will be showing some of his other products, including a stunning Ash wood and granite cantilevered task lamp, at 100% Design (Stand D8) as well.
I hope I have whetted your appetite for the London Design Festival with the Glade. Will you be visiting any of the events? If you see me, please say hello. I love getting to know my readers.

THE CAIRNS BLOG: IT'S OFFICIAL: OLN GETS THE NHL
And in a related development comes news of yet another rule change: because they're now on the Outdoor Life Network, as part of the deal the NHL will now play all of its games outdoors.
Wish I was kidding, but the NHL really is going to be on OLN, a.k.a. the Lance Armstrong network. NOBODY WATCHES OLN, it gets terrible ratings! The ratings for NHL games are going to be awful this year, because the games are on OLN! How are they going to grow this sport on OLN!? More telling is the fact that ESPN had a chance to match this deal and they said no. I gotta say, even though this was their choice, this is still a sad day for ESPN, one of the few US networks to actually treat the NHL with any respect. The hockey guys there must be miserable.
The OLN signing is all the proof you need that hockey is in total disgrace with the public in the United States. It's a big step backward for the league, because the other major sports are all on big-name channels like ESPN or TNT. Now you see why the season-long lockout by the league was such a counterproductive, awful idea.

Nigeria Admission Portals: How To Configure Nokia Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing
How To Configure Nokia Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing
Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing:Do you have a Nokia web-enabled phone and yet, can’t surf the net free ? Well, Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing is here,worry no more because I am ready to share with you how you can configure that Nokia phone of yours to start surfing the net ( Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing).
Well, as far as i am concerned, Nokia phones remain the best when it comes to free browsing using Opera Mini. This is because of the ease in configuring Nokia phones, unlike the complex steps you have to take if you are to configure other phones as Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing.
Nokia phones too are of different models. While there are some categories of Nokia phones you can easily configure manually for free browsing, there are some that you cannot configure manually as Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing.
Today, I am highlighting steps you can take to configure free browsing on a Nokia Series 60 (S60) phone as Phones Opera Mini Free Browsing. Not sure if your Nokia Phone is a S60 type or not, do not worry. Just relax and follow the steps…..

IMPORTANT. Please Read!! - Young Harrisonburg (Harrisonburg, VA)
IMPORTANT. Please Read!!
October 22, 2013 · 11:45 PM
Hello again Young Harrisonburg,
About a month ago, I sent out an e-mail explaining how dues need to be paid, and the reasons for this. Unfortunately, very few people have paid their dues so far. If people don't take this seriously and invest a small amount in the group (only $10 per year) then this Meet-Up group WILL disappear. And that would be a real shame.
This is a great group with great people. The only way that this can continue is if people click the "Pay Online" button on the left side of the homepage (directly under the "About Us" section) Dues can be paid with either a debit or credit card. If you do not have access to a card and want to pay in cash or a check, please let either Derek M. (co-organizer) or myself (organizer) know and we can try to arrange that.
From here on out, if you have not paid your dues, you can not RSVP to an event. We have only taken this step because of how serious the situation is. If we do not have enough dues by October 22nd then the group will shut down. Permanently. Lets prevent this by all paying our dues and then getting the most out of your investment by actively participating in the group by not only attending events, but by posting events as well.
Remember, the organizer is responsible for paying the yearly $150 cost of having the Meet-Up group, and this is why dues are charged. $10 is a small price to pay for all the smiles and laughs that meet-up provides. Please pay as soon as possible so we can continue "meeting up" for fun events, making new friends, and continuing to build on the awesome group we have.
And do not worry about losing your money. In the unfortunate event that we do not receive enough dues to continue the group, I will personally refund what you paid. I know it says "No refunds on member dues" but this only means Meet-Up will not provide a refund. We want people to pay their dues and feel safe doing so, so of course we will refund anything you pay in the event the group does shut down. But lets make sure that doesn't happen by paying your $10.00 today. (It renews annually automatically and can be cancelled at any time).
Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at an event soon!
Sincerely, Emma Group Organizer
P.S. In case you missed it, here is the original e-mail which goes into some more detail about why dues must be paid and what the extra funds will go towards. Please e-mail me with any additional questions you may have.
Young Harrisonburg,
As you may or may not know, hosting a Meet-Up group is not free. It costs about $150.00 a year to keep the group going. This fee is paid by the Organizer of the group. As a result of this, we will need to start charging a small fee in order for you to maintain your membership in the group. New members who wish to join will also need to pay the same in order to do so.
The membership dues will be just $10.00 annually. That’s it! For less than the cost of ONE beer at some places, you get 6 months’ worth of fun activities and events, a chance to meet new people and build new friendships, and an active social life that is good for the body, mind, and soul. And all of this taking place in or around our beloved Harrisonburg. Except for maybe finding a first-edition Gutenberg Bible in the five-dollar book bin at a yard sale… Where else could you get so much for only $5.00?! ($10.00 per year) Keep reading for information on how to pay your membership dues.
Great things are ahead for Young Harrisonburg. Our membership is growing, we have had some great events, and we have a new leadership team dedicated to continuously improving the group for all members. However, the success or failure of a meet-up group lies mainly with how active and committed its membership is. So, I hope everyone will not only stick with us and pay the small membership dues, but also get the most out of your $5.00/$10.00 commitment by not only attending events, but posting new events to share with the group as well. Only you know what you like to do, so don’t be shy… Post it up, and you just might be surprised at how many other people want to join you. And if not, don’t be discouraged. For different reasons, some events are more popular than others. But our goal is to hopefully make every event a successful one by encouraging active participation. A growing membership is great, but it really only means anything if people are creating and attending events.
So, with these changes I hope you will only see the group get better and better. We all just want to have a fun time with a great group of people. I’m sure most of you do as well. So please make your $10.00 payment through the link on the group home page as soon as possible. Payment can be made with a credit or debit card. Any excess funds we receive will go into an account to be used solely for group activities. Party supplies, sports equipment, campsite reservation fees, etc. whatever we might need for, or to enhance, an activity or event.
Thanks for reading & I look forward to seeing you at a new-and-improved Young Harrisonburg event soon!
Emma, Organizer
Derek M., Co-Organizer
Jordie, Event Organizer
(I sent this out recently through e-mail but wanted to post it here also in case anyone missed it.)
This group is for all you 20 and 30 somethings out there looking for that right opportunity to meet new people. The purpose of the group is get you off the couch and having fun. Whether it's at an art show, wine tasting, ski trip, theatre event..volunteerism...whatever. The goal is to plan random and seemingly spontaneous meet ups to bring people together. Maybe you're single and looking to meet Mr/Mrs Perfect...Maybe you're newly weds starting to feel like you don't 'do fun stuff' anymore. It doesn't matter. Are you new to town and trying to make new friends? Awesome, come meet up. Are you a busy graduate student needing a break? An undergraduate student starting to get sick of the whole 'binge drinking' scene. Did you just find out all the cool kids aren't actually that cool? Screw em', come meet up. New parents..? hire a baby sitter and come meet up. I started this because I'm new in town and they're aren't a lot of 'meet up' groups for this area. So, I figured I'd start my own. I don't just like to 'read', or 'hike'..and I don't only like to hang out with people that do one thing---so for all you eclectic lovers of life, I hope we can get together and have some good times!

Joanie's Balonie: 067- Rose Colored Glasses
I have a tendency to look at the world through *rose-colored glasses* (I'm a glass half-full-kinda-girl). But I didn't need them for this beautiful view out my bedroom window. The sun was going down in all its splendor and the resultant pink glow lit up the eastern sky and mountains. I love this late evening light. There is just a Godly quality about it that feeds my soul.
Truly, God created a beautiful world for us to enjoy.
This is the view from the front of my house ...(You didn't really think I could pass up a shot of the actual sunset did you?)

Is This Miner Losing Its Luster? - AOL Finance
Is This Miner Losing Its Luster?
Mar 1st 2012 1:20PM
Shares of molybdenum miner Thompson Creek Metals (NYS: TC) dove 15% on Tuesday, after the company reported earnings. Strangely, it actually beat earnings estimates, reporting $0.00 per share on expectations of a $0.07 EPS loss, but revenue of $116.7 million missed by $5.4 million. Net income for the quarter was $0.8 million.
The drop in stock price seemed to come from the stampede of analysts downgrading Thompson as it received lower ratings from Credit Suisse, Dahlman Rose, and Deutsche Bank. The first two said the moly miner was now a hold, while Deutsche Bank downgraded it to a sell, primarily because of increased capital expenditures to $355 million, or 25% of its market cap. Deutsche Bank issued a $7.50 price target, which Thompson currently trades under.
Still a value?
With a P/E of just 4.4 and two mines set to come on line in the next two years, Thompson looks like a value play to some, especially after Tuesday's beating. The company expects to complete the expansion of its Endako mine by the end of the first quarter of 2012, which should add production capacity of 15 million to 16 million pounds of molybdenum annually. In 2011, the namesake mine produced just 21.4 million pounds of molybdenum.
But the real prize for investors is the Mt. Milligan copper and gold mine, which it acquired from Terrane Metals in 2010; it's expected to begin producing toward the end of 2013. Thompson Creek expects Mt. Milligan to produce 81 million pounds of copper and 194,000 ounces of gold per year. CEO Kevin Loughrey estimates a potential $450 million in annual profit from Mt. Milligan, as fellow Fool Christopher Barker describes here. By comparison, Freeport-McMoRan (NYS: FCX) , a $40 billion company, produced nearly 4 billion pounds of copper and 1.9 million ounces of gold in 2010.
Loughrey also sees increasing molybdenum prices in 2012 and 2013, as the economy picks up. This trend figures to help fellow miners like General Moly (NYS: GMO) , which produces molybdenum along with other metals. Thompson Creek molybdenum production should increase in the coming years, as well, to 26 million to 28 million pounds in 2012 and 30 million to 34 million in 2013 with the help of the Endako mine. While estimated capital expenditures have increased by more than $200 million for 2012, Loughrey observed that investors often punish mining stocks when they're going through a cap ex period. And Loughrey put his money where his mouth is, recently picking up shares at prices of $7.75, $7.44, and $6.36.
While Thompson Creek may present some hidden value for investors, our experts at the Fool have found an overlooked gold prospector that is the perfect for investors bullish on the precious metal.

← 1st Sunday of Lent – C	3rd Sunday of Lent →
Posted on February 22, 2013 by johnmsfs under Sunday Homilies	Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18, Phil 3:17—4:1, Luke 9:28b-36
Dear Friends! At God’s prompting, Abram moved his considerable holdings from the ancient city of Ur in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) to a land he knew not (modern Palestine). As a reward for Abram’s trust and obedience, God promised him numerous descendants. He also promised Abram a land for himself and his family. When Abram asked for a sign that would seal this promise, God entered into a unilateral contract with him, using an ancient ritual of contract.
It may seem complicated to us but it would have been easily understood by Abram. It was the way people made covenants or contracts in those days. The ritual of cutting an animal in half and walking between the halves was a symbolic way of saying “may the same thing happen to me as to this animal if I am unfaithful to my word.” God is often represented as fire, and in this experience only God moved in-between the two halves of the animals. This indicated that God was not asking Abram to promise anything God asked only for Abram’s trust.
As our lives move along, there are disappointments but there are also hopes and promises that we look forward to. Abram looked forward to the promise of land, many descendants and numerous blessings. God assured him his hopes would be fulfilled.
Jesus had several times warned his apostles that he would suffer and die. Now he gave three of them a special experience to help them know what was ahead, that his death would lead to glory. The experience of the transfiguration perhaps was meant to give strength and hope to Peter, James, and John, to help them survive Jesus arrest and crucifixion or it was a gift from God the Father to Jesus to help and encourage his commitment to be faithful to his mission. Whatever it was, it was a promise of future glory and assurance that God would not let down those who trusted in him.
If the transfiguration is a promise of future glory for Jesus and the Apostles, St. Paul gives us a promise of future glory for us when he tells us today “our citizenship is in heaven.” We are only tourists in this world and it’s not our true home. We must always have our bags packed because we never know when we will be called to move on. And we will be called. Paul tells us God “will change our lowly bodies to conform with his glorified body.” We will be transfigured also. Lent helps us remember to be ready to move on and make any changes in our lives we need to make, so we will be ready to meet our God in eternal glory.
In each Holy Mass, the bread and wine we offer on the altar become “transfigured” or transformed into the living body and blood of the crucified, risen and glorified Jesus. Just as Jesus’ transfiguration strengthened the apostles in their time of trial, each holy Mass should be our source of heavenly strength against temptations, and our renewal during Lent. Because Mass is always an assurance and a promise of what’s ahead, especially in Communion. At the Eucharistic table we are reminded of his death for us. We are also assured that he hasn’t left us orphans, but he is still with us and in Communion he wants us to be more closely united with himself.

Samsung donates $107 million to oil spill victims - The Economic Times
Samsung donates $107 million to oil spill victims
Feb 29, 2008, 02.47 PM IST
SEOUL: Samsung Heavy Industries, whose vessel was involved in South Korea's worst oil spill, said on Friday it was donating some $ 107 million to help victims which they rejected as inadequate.
Samsung Heavy said it would give 100 billion won (107 million dollars) to provide quick aid for thousands of people hit by the December 7 oil spill off the west coast.
"This is the best we can do at this moment in light of the company's financial capacity," said CEO Kim Jing-Wan of Samsung Heavy, the shipbuilding, construction and engineering unit of the nation's biggest group.
The money was separate from any legally ordered compensation, he said. Lee Wan-Koo, governor of South Chungcheong province, criticised the offer. "Samsung is detached from reality. This is far different from what is being demanded by residents," Lee was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency.
"The residents are demanding unlimited accountability and unlimited compensation from Samsung."
The group has come under mounting pressure to act swiftly to compensate victims.
Three people in the worst-hit district of Taean, about 110 kilometres (69 miles) southwest of Seoul, killed themselves following delays by local officials in distributing emergency government aid.
One drank poison and set himself on fire at a protest rally. Thousands staged an angry protest in Seoul in January, displaying oil-coated oysters, fish, anchovies and seaweed, while a few protesters pelted the headquarters of Samsung with oily fish.
Others used hammers to smash Samsung-made washing machines, TV sets and refrigerators they had brought to the rally.
The accident happened when a Samsung Heavy Industries barge carrying a construction crane snapped its cables to two tugs in rough seas and rammed the anchored 147,000-ton supertanker Hebei Spirit.
The Hong Kong-registered tanker was holed in three places, spilling 10,900 tons of crude.
Scores of marine farms and miles of beaches were devastated. Five people; the skippers of the barge and of the two tugs, and the tanker's captain and chief officer -- are on trial on charges of negligence and violating anti-pollution laws.
Samsung Heavy Industries and Hebei Shipping, a Hong Kong corporation which owns the tanker, have also been charged with violating anti-pollution laws.

BAGnewsNotes: "Victory Plan" Theatre
« De-Fence Of Liberty |
| War Is H(Sw)ell »
As I've said before, I think the visual coverage of the White House has begun to incorporate the idea that the Bush Administration is a sitcom.
Of course, Bush's plan in search of a plan; the "Victory" branding (including the neurolinguistic tactic of positioning "victory" as the opposite of "exit strategy"); and the imperial backdrop in Annapolis (including the " Plan For Victory" term 15 times over) are all so "over the top" that the whole Iraq re-re-repositioning here more than overdoses on it's own.
Still, I especially admired two images yesterday which more subliminally conveyed that things don't add up.
The more you absorb this image by Jonathan Ernst, what stands out is the photographer passing in front of the stage, and the there, but-not-there camera man in the foreground. (And don't forget the photographer stage left shooting Bush from below.) The message? It's a show, baby, pure show.
And then there was this shot by Paul J. Richards. Just fabulous! (If you were expecting the pic showing the cadets sleeping in their seats waiting for Bush to finally arrive, you won't find it here. Way too obvious, way way too obvious.)
But this! Someone please argue with me that this photo is "straight up" -- meaning strictly laudatory. Because it does read straight up; these kids are worshipful.
At the same time, however (and that's what makes for great irony), this photo is a complete hoot. The three heads just below the curtain (as if the stage was in front of us, not behind) is straight out of Python. The guy in the middle? Yeah, he's transfixed. But the stare is "over the top" again. And the guy at the far right? Even if it's really not, that surely is a skeptical eye. And what's with the symmetrical one- eyed business at the edges, anyway? That's funny. Just like those two heads framing the crazy Tom Cruise-guy in the center are funny -- especially the crew cut one.
I can't imagine what could be left by the time we get to Bush's last year. Can a person actually become a caricature of a caricature of himself?
Posted by Michael Shaw (The BAG) at 01:08:28 AM
My God. That "Plan for Victory" backdrop looks like an old set from The Carol Burnett Show.
Dec 01, 2005 at 02:27 AM
What struck me about the first photo is its resemblance to a classic puppet theater set. I found myself trying to imagine who was squatting there behind the skirt across the front of the stage, holding up the little puppet. A quick search on Google images for "puppet theater" brought it all home.
Dec 01, 2005 at 04:55 AM
eva, great suggestion about googling puppet theater That's exactly what I was missing to make sense of those top two photos.
The third photo reminds me of school age children in grown-up theater seats trying to make sense of Wagner's Parsifal.
Dec 01, 2005 at 05:43 AM
Your "Tom Cruise guy" comment is brilliant. Suddenly Scientology and the U.S. Military become bizarre equivalents. Can we say "brainwash", boys and girls?
A friend's son is a cadet there. He said they were all forced to attend, received no extra credit for it (though he thought they should have), and he spent all his time counting the number of mispronounced words and the number of times Bush looked down at his notes with that deer in the headlights look. He was not impressed. And his mother tried to watch the speech in order to catch a glimpse of her son in the audience, but Bush made her so nauseous she had to turn off the TV. She wants the twins sent to Iraq ASAP.
Dec 01, 2005 at 05:48 AM
What makes the backdrop behind the president look like it's from an old TV show, as tuffy points out, is the attempted use of trump l'oeil--the fake drop shadows behind the pompous looking insignias and the banner reading "Plan for Victory." The backdrop is also divided into three inexplicable panels delineated by more sham drop shadows. This cut-rate, fake backdrop signals the spuriousness of Bush's remarks before he even opens his mouth. Maybe Bush needs to switch PR firms. The two folding panels in front of Bush's dais are more fakery, as well as a way of barricading Bush from his audience. The soldiers in the audience remind me of that old 1984 Apple computer commercial with its voice over: "Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!"
Dec 01, 2005 at 05:58 AM
And how many of our sailors are serving in Iraq anyway? Aren't the marines and the army the ones taking the heat in this war? I suppose there are a fare number of Navy seals who are losing their lives, but the average sailor has it pretty easy by comparison, I believe. I'd like to see Bush try this one at West Point and see what kind of response he gets. He's all buy ruined our Army after all.
Dec 01, 2005 at 06:10 AM
There's something very surrealistic about it all. My first reaction was that I was looking at a doll house, Barbi's Dream Home. The Plan for Victory sign -- well, it's just plain stupid looking. The whole scene is stupid. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.
Dec 01, 2005 at 06:23 AM
Tuffy, if that backdrop isn't from the Carol Burnett show, it's surely one of the backgrounds Marta drops during the "Lonely Goatherd" number in The Sound of Music.
Dec 01, 2005 at 06:35 AM
That third shot looks a lot like the Kilroy Was Here graffiti from WWII. See www.liberty-ship.com/html/people/kilroy.html for more info about Kilroy.
Dec 01, 2005 at 07:46 AM
Ya suppose Bush's plan for victory is something he saw in a window and just couldn't resist?
Dec 01, 2005 at 08:25 AM
Wow, it looks like King Friday's set on Mr.Roger's Neighborhood.
Doesn't Mr. Roger's refer to that as the "Land of Make-believe?"
Ding, ding ... here comes the trolly.
Sad. Very. I want to laugh at the buffoon but it's just not funny, what he has done.

Dec 01, 2005 at 08:48 AM
Don Imus this morning said the set looked like "Wink Martindale" was coming out to give you a prize! Something like that, anyway. Loved the Wink Martindale reference.
Dec 01, 2005 at 08:54 AM
What a joke, what does he think he is King George holding court. I would wonder if that is supposed to play in the South (me thinks not). Then I figure nobody is going to watch this "major speech" anyway.
That backdrop embarasses me and makes me want to puke. That is without considering the irony that he is unveiling a plan for victory 3 years in, with over 2,100 US soldiers dead in Iraq alone, over 15,000 wounded, and nobody even knows why we are there, why we went, or if victory is possible, or what victory is...but its a good thing they spent all that time and money on a gold leaf monarchs seal for the backdrop.
Dec 01, 2005 at 08:57 AM
The set design looks a lot like a "standard" web page: three columns, banner heading, small print footer, drop shadows, nifty icons, recti-linear background texture, the visual contrast between the blues and the (all-Red, all-Green, no-Blue) gold highlights. This could be the front page for a well funded entity that wants to get in on the Internet's attention but doesn't really have anything worthwhile to say. A facade.
Oh, and that tiny little thing in the center, that's the President of the United States.
Dec 01, 2005 at 09:25 AM
The backdrop looks like a bad cake decoration. Or as though it was inspired by a gold-leafed entry hall to one of Sadaam's old palaces.
Dec 01, 2005 at 09:27 AM
The backdrop looks uncomfortably like a church to me... but then, that's just me.
However, I found these fun: compare
Dec 01, 2005 at 09:29 AM
Perhaps this cluttered mess is another example of the coded aesthetic admired by right-wing authoritarians like GWB & his supporters. I believe the visual choices provide a window into their minds and thinking: fussy with irrelevant detail, missing the forest for the trees; concrete (rather than abstract); explicit (rather than implicit); superficial, not subtle, not making fine distinctions; boxed in, hierarchical; anxious, paranoid, struggling with scale and proportion. In a kind of pre-metaphorical thinking, simple codes are used in which an object is invested with power & meaning. The first thing to impress me was all the rectangles divided and subdivided into smaller rectangles of all sizes: I count at least nine sizes. It is the visual equivalent of using nine different fonts on a page. In addition, the proportions of the backdrop are flag-like. The little squares echo the stars and stripes. Finally, notice how everything is framed, controlled, closed in. No straying outside the lines here! It's a claustrophic, right-angle world view. In addition, nothing is symbolic or abstract. Just in case you miss it, the message is spelled out. The closest thing to symbolic are the blue and gold naval colors and the reassuringly accessible Naval armorial shield. Its scale dwarfs the humans. The messages are repeated like a mantra: "Plan for Victory," three times. The armorial shield, four times.
We see it as a cluttered mess. His base sees it as clear coded reassurance that we are safer and victory will be achieved through military might. Posted by:

This pompous, comic-opera set is designed to speak louder than the words coming out of The Idiot's mouth. A good idea, since he can't do public speaking and his handlers think we are stupid. Also, that small wall down front might be more important than it seems: I feel there might be federal agents hunkered down there with guns in case somebody tries anything (even with a pie). I laughed at the BAG's "parody of a parody" but actually I'm crying. What the hell is happening to my country?
Dec 01, 2005 at 01:04 PM
I don't have much to add but I have to say how much I enjoy - and sometimes giggle through - everyone's comments. Too bad it's not just a joke...
My first impressions were "over the top" and "cheesy". But somehow it also reminds me of some of those oldish movies where there's a guy selling some potion, and he goes from town to town setting up a stage and trying to con people. It also looks like whoever designed this thing has zero respect for his audience, either the cadets or the larger domestic and international audience. They're assuming that they're talking to morons.

From Main Deck/ Top Gun /Mission Accomplished //to standing in front of a back drop of a ships grey hull complete with iron strapping, metal plates, rivets and unopened port holes which cry out Plan for Victory (he’s doing some touch up painting from his new scaffold position) I am looking at the TV where these objects stand out unlike the photo. I have replayed the speech noting that, “Iraqis know their people and the language”..“answer histories call”..“ they create chaos for the camera”..“bring justice to our enemies”..“they seek to sow, anger, hatred and despair”...“releasing unclassified version of Plan For Victory”... GWB lips were actually quivering when he read the last letter of Corporal Jeff Shaw (I did a number of replays to be certain) for which he received the loudest and longest ovation...the staging is a dogs breakfast but combining the voice & images I observed a return to The Theatre Of The Absurd, and what better script or actor could have been chosen ?

Being so old it made me think of seeing the News on Germany as I grew up. I was born in the 30's. What is it with these 'rulers' who like to get second class men designing their back drops?

These backgrounds are really getting irritating; here's Bush talking about World AIDS Day.

I'd like to extend some of PTate_in_MN's comments a little further. I agree that the aesthetic of the stage set is hideous, but I don't think "cluttered" or "mess" accurately describe it. The design is very rigid, regular, and (please forgive the alliteration) repetitious. There is clear-cut framing and everything is deliberately centered. These elements of the design give a feeling of control and calmness, all the better to convey the message that things are under control in Iraq, so let's stick to our original plan. Also, the color blue is calming, and this particular blue (Air Force blue, for how we are moving into a stronger air campaign?) is very cool, almost silver (silver outranks gold in some military symbolism).
Other elements the military audience can relate to: a stupid simpleton slogan (oops, a little editorializing slipped out — sorry!) on a background with gold stars (stars denote rank) to look like insignia, the flag (two makes for steadiness and balance in this case), the commander-in-chief in a suit that matches the seated officer's, the chevron shape behind W (I don't get that one beyond it's divided vertically, but I'm sure it means something), even the curtains and stage "skirt" probably mean something. We're going to have to wait for fotonique to fill in the blanks that I can't. All I can figure out is the speech is not for us civilians, it's a pep talk for the military.

breeder: You can tell they aren't gay by how ugly the stage set is. If they were gay, the set would look A LOT better.

A) A ceasefire should be offered by the Occupying side to representatives of both the Sunni insurgency and the Shiite community. These representatives would be promised safe passage, to any meetings. The individual insurgency groups would designate who would attend. At this meeting a written document declaring a one-month ceasefire, witnessed by a United Nations authority, will be fashioned and eventually signed. This document will be released in full, to all Iraqi newspapers, the foreign press, and the Internet.
J) After four months they will be moved to enclaves in the above-mentioned countries. They will remain, still active, for two month, until their return to the States, Britain and the other involved nations.

In that last photo, WHERE is the photographer shooting from? Behind the blue drapery? Is there a space between that and the stage? And why no apparent flash if it's shot close-up? Depth of field seems to be shallow. Or was it shot before the event started when the house lights were up?
I agree about the boxing in of W. The two verticals on either side; his head surrounded by boxes within the chevron shape; he's behind the podium which is behind the panels. All in all, the setting reminds me of totalitarian propaganda art. All message, no meaning.

St. Patrick’s Day in Boston | Ordeal by Moleskine
tags: Boston, Evacuation Day, St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick’s Day in Boston is exactly what you’d want/expect it to be. Literally everyone wearing green. Even the usually stuffy businessmen in their power suits, most of whom have a subdued green tie or shirt, but a couple of the more adventurous ones with a violently green pocket square. Some people are wearing green to ridiculous levels, including Mardi gras beads with tiny beer mugs attached or those exaggeratedly large felt leprechaun hats. And of course, Celtics t-shirts everywhere. Even the red-purple light under the observation deck on the Prudential Building has been changed to green in honor of the Irish saint.
A random protest about sending Irish greyhounds to China at the corner of Boylston and Clarendon. I still don’t understand.
An absurd number of tourists. A car from New York blasting “I’m Shipping up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys waiting at the red light as Laura and I are walking to the Post Office. People visibly drunk on the street at 2pm.
A beautiful day. Temperature when I leave the office is 64˚. People are literally everywhere. Strolling down the Comm Ave Mall, seeing the first signs of Spring (finally) arriving as flower bulbs push up their first growth. All throughout the Public Garden, people are playing music, including group of college kids beating out some pretty good Irish trad. Because it’s also Evacuation Day (a made-up holiday only celebrated in Boston, remembering the British evacuation of Boston Harbor during the Revolutionary War), kids are out of school and running all over the Common.
Though the tourists were annoying, as was having to see drunk people out of my office window (but not-so-secretly wishing I was amongst them), it’s exactly what it should have been. Out. Of. Control.

This structure has means of electrical connection between at least one metallized region and the metal plate which comprise at least one metal beam resting onto the plate and being attached thereto by studs integral with the plate, and at least one wire welded between a metallized region of the chip and the metal beam between the studs. At least a portion of the beam and its connection wire are encapsulated within the plastics body.
As is known, integrated circuits and other active electronic devices or components.sup.1 are typically formed on small chips (or "dice") of a monocrystalline semiconductor material. Typically these chips have a surface area on the order of a few square millimeters, and require for their connection to an external electric circuit special supporting, enclosing and electric interconnection structures.

Thirty Dollars Later
Planning our son’s nursery was so much fun for me. I really enjoy decorating a space and even more, a place for my sweet little babe. I still remember the day we put his crib together. Our hound dogs were right along side us, curious about all the new things happening to the room. I washed and folded all his clothes, we stocked up on diapers months before he even arrived, and had all his tiny items neatly organized.
I remember going into his room and I would imagine kissing his sweet little face and holding him for hours. Everything was ready for his arrival. The room was perfect and all it needed was him to complete it. Now, our baby is going to be 2 years old in June! I think time goes by faster once you have kids.
Now that he is getting a bit older, I have been looking into big boy room ideas. The first step would be new paint. We had decided on this Eco Green color by Behr when the room was our den/guest room. While putting his nursery together, I thought about changing the color but decided it looked good with his decor, so we left it. The room doesn’t have great natural lighting so I feel like the color is a bit too dark and I plan on painting it light grey – Hazy Stratus by Valspar.
Here is the new color up on his walls and I am really pleased with the outcome. We had to let the room air out for a few days before our son could sleep in there but once everything was dry I was hanging and organizing his new space. Not much has changed this time around but soon we will work on transitioning our son to a twin bed, which means the sofa will be taken out of his room. That sofa has been a life saver for us over the past year and a half. Our little boy had a lot of trouble sleeping and a lot of the reason why was due to food allergies that we were unaware of. It wasn’t until he was 10 months old that we figured out how many foods he was allergic to, but once we eliminated those foods from his diet he started sleeping much better.
But back to the bedroom. I am loving his new space. The only money spent was on the bucket of paint. Everything we used in his room was either there before or from other rooms in the house.
We switched up the wall art that was above his bed with this United States map made of license plates, which was in my husband’s music room. The framed art work that was above his bed has been moved to another wall above his dresser.
The chair pictured here was one of my bulky items trash pile finds! I was originally thinking about changing it up but it has grown on me just the way it is. It has become part of his reading spot in his room.
And there you have it! The first step in creating a big boy room for our son.
