The Lyrics

(Instrumental Intro)

I Went To Freehold Raceway Mall;
To Buy CDs And PSX Games;
And Some PS2 Games And Some N64 Games;
And Some Toys And Some Food;
When I Went Into EBGames To Look At The Games;
I Had $100 In My Wallet To Start;
I Bought A PSX Game Called Need For Speed III;

I Guess You Didn't Know It;
But I Buy My Games And CDs At The Mall Too;
But, I Hope To Get More Money So I Can Buy Them;
I Could Work At Home Or;
Become A Contestant On A Game Show;

The Little Girl Said "My Name Is Emmy

EBGames And Gamestop Have Low Prices Every Day;
Those 2 Stores Are Worth The Pay;

Then I Went To Gamestop And;
Bought Another PSX Game;
And I Paid The Man And He
Gave Me Back Some Change

Song Parodies -> "Cellphone in Paradise"

Original Song Title:

"Cheeseburger in Paradise"

Original Performer:

Jimmy Buffett

Parody Song Title:

"Cellphone in Paradise"

Parody Written by:

Mixmaster MP

The Lyrics

Since cellular phones are so popular these days, here's a song about them.
Tried to make a call with no interference
Tried for nearly seventy days
Losing calls that I need, a screen I can't read
Wasting all the money that I have paid.
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some sort of heavenly ring
Not Verizon, T-mobile or AT&T,
But the greatest phone that you'll ever see

Cellphone in paradise
No limit on minutes, that's really nice.
Nice big buttons as shiny as ice
Just a cellphone in paradise

Heard about the old time mobile phones
They had all that radiation
You'd get a tumor the size of your head
Sooner or later you would be dead
But times have have changed for callers these days
Don't worry 'bout nuking your brain
Just sit back, relax, and do what you need
Maybe take a few a pictures and smoke some weed

Cellphone in paradise
Internet connection for no extra price.
Tech support that's really nice
Just a cellphone in paradise

I like mine with a video recorder
Holds a hundred numbers and even sorts 'em
Big color screen and great games too
Good God Almighy, what do I do for my

Cellphone in paradise
No limit on minutes, that's really nice.
Internet connection for no extra price
Just a cellphone in paradise

I need a cellphone in paradise.
I'm just a cellphone in paradise.

Original Song Title:

Original Performer:

Parody Song Title:

Parody Written by:

Parody Potter

The Lyrics

Eldorado........ why don't you run when I need you?
Why do I have to feed you...Premium now?'re an old one....
and I know that you're leaking Free-on
But I hope my friend Leon
Can help you somehow

He'll have you shining like a diamond, boy
He'll grease you and your cables
You know a lube and tune is always your best bet
Now it seems to me you're timing's
Been a little bit unstable
But he'll soon have you up and running like a 'Vet

Eldorado......oh, you ain't gettin' no younger...and
That old iron monger, is eying your chrome
And free-on, oh free-on.... well, it just stops 'em squawkin'
Your 'O' rings need caulkin'.... before Saint Pete guides you home

Don't your plugs get hot in the summer time?
They won't cool down and your lights won't shine
And it's hard to drive at night with you this way
You've lost your beams both high and low
And it's funny how your brakes have gone away

Eldorado.... why don't you run when I need you?
And purr when I feed you, 10-30 weight
And now it's rainin', and your wipers have just jarred
We better head for the junk yard.......before it's too late

Authorship is substantially like acting in it is a creative power that arrives out of someone. Powerful creating is required forever – lengthy success. Specialized writing is a fairly very good chance for those people who are hunting for something different. Some individuals also go as far as to look after reading and composing in the fashion of a type of faith. For that reason, the audience may prefer to sue you.

Andrew Reynolds and the Quick Money Generator

April 17, 2014

Recent Local Businessman of the Year Andrew Reynolds Made a Discovery In The US Which Has Made Him Millions of Pounds Through His Cash on Demand Business…

Andrew Reynolds told me that many of his students ask which of his Cash on Demand methods is the quickest to generate money.

There is a quick method which as Andrew explains can rake in £1/2 MILLION in a FEW HOURS (Andrew Reynolds has done this plenty of times).

Let’s begin to explain about this method and how and why it works so well…

Andrew Reynolds first discovered this method, way back in the Spring of 2000…when he was learning about the business. He was in Las Vegas as an Attendee for an Internet Marketing Seminar. The seminar was all about Internet marketing techniques, which were still new to the UK market place.

However, Andrew was also keen to study the seminar model and this is the area he made the discovery… where as he admits he sat and watched the proceedings in total awe.

What was catching his attention and his respect was the amount of money he could see was being made running workshops and seminars. And he could appreciate how it was used in conjunction with the Cash on Demand system.

So, Andrew Reynolds, who remember was an attendee learning about the Internet Marketing techniques, began viewing the seminar not as an attendee but with the purpose of studying the techniques being employed around him.

Rather than giving his 100% attention to the speaker, he started to study the audience reaction. And it was on the second day, while Andrew Reynolds was still observing, he saw something happen that directly resulted in him making MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF POUNDS through his Cash on Demand business.

One particular speaker who got up to talk, gave Andrew Reynolds the idea and he became totally hooked on making of lot money quickly and easily by the route of workshops and seminars.

This particular speaker made a 3 hour presentation. But what caught Andrew Reynolds imagination was this guy pulled in over $390,000 in ‘back of the room sales’. Andrew admitted he had never seen anything like it…

He had attended many seminars in the USA in his early days of learning this business and if they had a high ticket price it paid for the speakers and any content was given at the end of the event…for FREE.

However, this particular seminar, not only had a relatively high ticket price of $997 (remember, this was in the year 2000) but the speaker also offered back of the room products which earned him $400,000 at the end of his 3 hour speech.

No wonder Andrew was excited at the time. He goes on to tell his students more memories he had of this momentous occasion. He said he still remembers just moments before this guy was due on stage to do his talk, a friend of Andrews, Marlon Sanders…and if you’ve ever seen Marlon speak on stage, you’ll know he’s a little eccentric…rushed over and said in a hushed voice, “Dude! You gotta see this next guy. He’ll blow you away with what he does. He makes all the other speakers look like freekin amateurs…” or words to that effect.

And during the entire time this guy was talking, Marlon kept chipping in whispering to Andrew, comments like, “Can you see what he’s doing now”? “That was clever”…”he’s gonna pull a cool quarter of a million dollars!! You just watch…seriously dude. I’m telling ya…”

As some of you will know, Marlon is a serious marketer and Andrew Reynolds has a huge amount of respect for this guy. In fact, he’s a Cash on Demand type marketer if you like. When Marlon suggests to Andrew that he pays attention to something, then Andrew complies.

So, taking on board Marlon’s comments on this speaker, Andrew Reynolds studied everything this speaker did. He made lots of notes which he has kept to this day.

And suddenly, when the speaker reached the end of his talk, it happened…this guy had metaphorically speaking flicked the switch and in minutes he was nearly $400,000 richer.

All he did was to ask people to come to the stage with their credit cards and pay his business partner who stood by the side of the stage with a credit card machine, the $3,997 he was asking for the product.

Now just one of the amazing aspects of this is that to all intents and purposes, during the 3 hour talk this speaker had pitched these products. He had done the sales talk.

And yet, people eagerly jumped out of their seats and almost ran to get in the queue. As I mentioned earlier, Andrew Reynolds was in such awe, because people couldn’t get there quick enough and yet they were handing over $3,997. Not exactly peanuts.

Andrew Reynolds counted the number of people who lined up to the stage and paid this money over. And this guy easily took over $399,000 and it was probably much more…in those few minutes.

Andrew walked out of that seminar and back to the MGM Grand Hotel that evening in a daze. He found it hard to believe and yet he had actually watched people eagerly handing over this much money.

He was so excited that he immediately wrote an email to his Cash on Demand copywriter in the UK who he was swapping emailed notes with at the time, because they were working together on a project.

As Andrew Reynolds explains to his students, when he sent the email, he was so excited that he was sure his copywriter thought there was an extra ZERO on the sales figure. Or maybe he thought Andrew had been on the champagne.

But the email was correct.

This guy, who was the speaker up on the stage, was just ordinary looking. To this day Andrew remembers what the guy wore, a polo shirt and casual trousers. If you saw the guy in the street, you wouldn’t give him a second glance.

Nothing at all made him stand out from the crowd. In fact during the seminar, while the other speakers were up on the stage giving their talks, Andrew had assumed this guy was just one of the attendees. In fact he sat at the back on the same table as Andrew Reynolds.

And yet, this unobtrusive guy took almost $400,000 in 3 HOURS!!

Afterwards, Andrew Reynolds said that he found out how accurate his email was. For this speaker at the seminar…extraordinary in what he had achieved…was nevertheless an ordinary guy.

Like so many of us, he hated the thought of standing on a stage and speaking to a load of strangers. In fact, he went on to license his seminar content and sales pitch so that he DIDN’T have to be a speaker at seminars in order to make money from them. He gets other people who DO like speaking to make his presentation and to go on to making the sales and then he receives a % of the profits!

Well, this should interest you as well, because this perfectly ordinary guy, who found a way for other people to make money for him, STILL makes SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for each 3 hours. So, each time someone else speaks at a seminar while he’s out there on holiday or whatever, he still makes a fortune.

This, admits Andrew Reynolds, totally changed his thoughts about Workshops and Seminars…

Back in 2000, Andrew had already done a few seminars himself. But, he realised he was working on a very small scale and he could up the sales. What he was doing at the time was offering a small back of the room product with a price tag of about £97 a box. At the time, Andrew Reynolds admits, he had been satisfied to take a hundred sales from a presentation.

He was looking at £9,700 less his costs would provide him with a profit of around £5,000. Not a fortune, but at the time, it was not bad compared to the salary he was paid in the house building trade. And as he figured, do that two or three times a week and you have a pretty good income… one that was well above the national average.

However, as you can imagine, after seeing this speaker selling virtually $400,000 worth of back room products, in a seminar where people had ALREADY paid $1,000 to attend, it made Andrew realise he could really up his game. What struck Andrew so forcibly was that it wasn’t even a FREE seminar.

As you can imagine, the whole discovery was a huge wake up call. Here was Andrew Reynolds making a £5,000 profit and this other speaker, was probably making at least a £200,000 profit. Yet the costs were probably about the same. They would both have done the same amount of work, put in the same effort and probably spent roughly the same amount of time.

However, the PROFIT difference was phenomenal….about £195,000

Later, Andrew Reynolds learned that at the time of that Las Vegas Internet Marketing Seminar, this particular speaker was travelling around the seminar circuit. So he was basically presenting EXACTLY the same talk in many different venues and events across the USA. He would be talking at least 3 or 4 times a week.

When you add that up, it looks to be between $400,000 to $500,000 CLEAR PROFIT EACH WEEK! And apart from the travelling of course, this would be for between 9-12 hours work a week maximum.

As Andrew Reynolds says it was little surprise that he became totally hooked on this strategy and adapted if for his Cash on Demand business.

What he did was during that stay in Las Vegas he soaked up everything he could about this technique. And this is one of the ways he swotted up on it…

Because of the time differences…they are 8 hours behind UK time…Andrew was always awake very early. He used this time to watch TV, to watch the off-peak ‘Infomercials’ that they have running on the cable channels until 6 or 7 in the mornings.

One of those infomercials that he saw was an Ad for a FREE seminar on ‘Making Money in Real Estate’. The subject was how people could buy properties for ‘No Money Down’ and smarten them up or rent them out and create a portfolio of properties. This was obviously a business opportunity and there are similar offers here in the UK.

At the end of the infomercial they gave details of afternoon and evening seminars in a number of towns across the States. The seminars were FREE. And one of the venues happened to be right there in Las Vegas the following day.

Andrew called the free phone number that came up on the screen and booked a free place. The next day he went along and he was amazed to see how many people were queued up to get in.

Andrew Reynolds said he reckoned there were a good 200 people in that room. And every one of them had bothered to make a call and book their free place and to turn up in order to learn about how to make money in real estate.

The same format was used as the paid-for seminar he had attended earlier that week. Everything was just a simple set up…there was a small stage with a screen which showed a PowerPoint Presentation from a laptop and projector.

The speaker walked in. He was a young guy in a suit and tie and he proceed to share his knowledge of some techniques for making money from real estate.

Near the end of his presentation, he invited everyone to attend a Paid For seminar of additional training to be held in a couple of weeks. In other words, he was offering a ‘back of the room’ product.

The price was around $2,997.

When the guy finished his talk, he invited people to go to the back of the room with their credit cards. And just as in the other seminar, Andrew Reynolds sat in amazement as people all but ran to the back of the room, clutching their credit cards. Andrew counted about 35 buyers.

Think about that, because it’s a HIGH return…35 buyers from 200 people and for a product costing $2,997. That is a 17 and a half % of the people in that room, PAID over $100,000 in back of the room sales for this one young speaker.

And as Andrew Reynolds explains, again this guy didn’t appear to be anything special. And so this was something Andrew felt he could bring to his Cash on Demand business with ease.

This guy just reeled off a carefully prepared speech… as the other speaker had at the Internet marketing seminar He had clearly delivered the same speech many times. In fact Andrew learned that he and other colleagues of his give that same speech twice a day, in similar hotels across the USA 5 days a week each.

It’s easy to work out that if they do $100,000 worth of business at each one, that’s a cool $1MILLION a WEEK in sales from just one speaker.

But, what Andrew Reynolds said he found the most interesting about this model was that this guy was merely presenting someone else’s speech. It was not this guy’s success story but someone else’s. The guy that got up and spoke wasn’t the Real Estate Guru. He was in fact, just a presenter paid to do the talking and get the orders.

What Andrew also found exciting was that he could relate this to the Cash on Demand, it was a simple extension to the basics which are…

Find a hungry crowd in a niche market. Then offer them a front end product which is the low cost product, or in this case it was free. Then offer them the back end product, which is a high price ticket for a further seminar.

So, that is Andrew Reynolds Quick Money Generator…Seminar or Workshop Presentations.

So if you really need to make some serious money … and fast … then it’s a business method that Andrew Reynolds teaches in the Cash On Demand course, that you may want to consider.

Andrew Reynolds became a self-made Millionaire at the age of 45 after starting a small business in his spare room at home - and became a Multi-Millionaire by the time he was 50, using a technique for making money that he shares in his book, Copy This Idea.

Resolution of conflicts in Kashmir, other Muslim areas, must to end terrorism: Ahsan Iqbal

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (APP): Federal Minister for Planning,

Development and Reforms, Prof Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday said
that if the United States and the world leaders truly want
to fight ISIS forces and terrorism, they must address the
concerns of Muslims in areas like Kashmir.
“If we want to create an environment which is conducive
for peace and ensures harmony, then we have to address the
causes of injustices,” the Minister said at a seminar organized
by the Pakistan Embassy in Washington to observe the Kashmir
Solidary Day and to express solidarity and support of the
people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Minister said that if a referendum can be held in
East Timor and South Sudan to get people their fundamental
rights, there was no justification to not let the referendum
held in Kashmir, where people were subjected to worst kind
of violence.
“If a referendum is not held in Kashmir, people there
will be justified to think that the international community
has double standard,” Ahsan said, adding that the countries
and powers which have stakes in global peace and security
must address the sufferings of people in Kashmir as they
addressed the sufferings of people in East Timor and South
The Minister urged the Pakistani and Kashmiri diaspora
to approach the US Congressmen and Senators and convince
them that if the United States, which as a world leader
has a responsibility for global peace, truly wants to fight
the ISIS, they must also discharge its responsibilities of
addressing concerns of Muslims in areas like Kashmir.
“This will help to deny the extremists and the ISIS
forces the narrative which they throw towards people who
are suffering, narrative through which they are able to
mislead some of the youth,” he added.
Ahsan said that he met ” a number of Congressmen and
had useful discussion as to how we can fight terrorism and
extremism.” He said President Trump at a function also made
a very powerful speech in which he said that fighting ISIS
and terrorism was his number one priority.
“We all agree that the terrorism and extremism are the
greatest challenge facing the humanity, that terrorism and
extremism are the enemies of mankind,” he added.
The Minister said that one of the causes that fuel
terrorism and extremisms was the conflicts in Muslim
societies which are being ignored by the international
community and the sufferings of the Muslims societies
are paid no attention, which provide space to these
extremist groups.
These groups, he said, then are able to exploit and
mislead people and offer them radical alternatives of
extremis and terrorism and some people are misled by
such slogans. “If we want to fight extremism, we will
have to make sure that the international community is
sensitive and do something to end the sufferings of
people subjected to violence,” he added.
He said that if the countries are punished and
sanctioned for violating Security Council Resolutions,
the same rule was also applicable to those countries
which are not meeting the requirement of the Security
Council resolutions.
The minister said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was
fully committed to the cause of Kashmir and the government
will continue to provide full moral support to the people
of Indian Occupied Kashmir fighting for their right to
Ambassador Jalil Abbas Jilani in his comments pointed
out the new generation of Kashmiris has risen spontaneously
against India’s illegal occupation and they are not deterred
by Indian brutalities.
He hoped that the sacrifices of Kashmiris for their
right of self-determination will bear fruit. The international
community must demand that India deliver on the commitments on
plebiscite to the UN and the World.
Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad, President, Kashmir American Council and
another Kashmiri leader Dr. Akram also addressed the gathering
and lauded the moral support and efforts of Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif for highlighting the Kashmir issue on world forums
including United Nations.
Prominent members of Pakistani American and Kashmiri-American communities participated in the seminar.
Professor Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Planning, Development and
Reform was the Chief Guest on the occasion.

A Dash of Italian creativity enhances offerings at neighborhood favorite

Sunday, September 22nd, 2013

Head down Langdon Street, a pleasant residential drive, to the Appian Way, named for the famous road of ancient Rome. Inside you’ll encounter an ample selection of more or less satisfying Italian standards but dressed by an array of creative fare.

Now in its 26th year, the bustling eatery persists as a popular neighborhood destination.

Ambience: The Appian Way is a sprawling, whitewashed structure incorporating two dining rooms and banquet facilities. We preferred the smaller, warmly lit and more intimate of the two dining areas, tucked behind the bar, to the large main dining room. Highlighted with colorful murals of “Via Appia” but with the acoustics of a mess hall.

Staff: Our mellow, friendly server held her own in the busy dining room, maintaining her cool despite the cacophony of clamoring customers.

Food: Fresh generously portioned and reasonably priced Italian cuisine. Choose among classics such as zuppa di clams ($7.95) and shrimp scampi ($15.95), or a fancier fettuccine alla figaro *with wild mushrooms and shrimp, sautéed with French brandy and demi-glace, $15.95); sirloin steak

Salad (sliced steak tossed with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions and potatoes in a special dressing) and shrimp and scallops San Pietro (with artichoke hearts, mushrooms and roasted peppers in an herby marinara sauce, over rigatoni, $17.95)

We began with oven-toasted bread and a freebie medley of black olives, chopped celery and onion, Starters were a lineup of highs, lows and so so’s. We flipped over a bowl of rigatoni enveloped in a potent “Siciano” marinara sauce, laden with tender bits of fried eggplant and fresh basil (appetizer portion, ($6.95; entrée, $12.95, chosen from a create-it-your-self mix and match, pasta and sauce section).

Pasta e faioll was good and garlicky, brimming with white beans and stubby pasta. There were fewer fireworks over the rubbery clams casino ($7.95), though we couldn’t resist picking off the mollusks’ crunchy tasty bacon topping in carrozza ($5.95), not quite salvaged by hearty marinara dipping sauce.

The complimentary salads that preceded the main courses were welcome, even though the greens were drowned in viaigrette the best of the entrée was a special scrod ala livornese ($15.95), big flaky hunks of white fish blanked in a robust marinara marbled with briny capers and black olives.

A whopper of tender veal Parmigiana ($14.95) cloaked the plate, as did a tummy stretching portion of chicken and shrimp Francese in a lemony butter sauce ($16.95), enjoyable even with a particularly heavy-duty batter coating the poultry and prawns/ Veal principessa ($16.95), a trio of somewhat tough medallions layered with eggplant, prosciutto fresh sliced plum tomatoes and melted mozzarella, was almost camouflaged by rich sweet marsala sauce studded with peas.

Entrees were sided by a choice of ziti, capellini or vegetables. Dinner was enhanced by a bottle of bright and fruity Parducci pinot noir ($22.00).

A collection of familiar commercial desserts yielded a lackluster cannoli cake, serviceable tartufo and fresh, moist Toll House cookie pie. Despite some inconsistencies, we exited The Appian Way feeling pretty much satisfied. The establishment, so well ensconced in the community, will probably remain a staple for years to come.

[Radio] Arashi Discovery 16Dec14 / Arashi Discovery del 16Dic14

Translation to English Ohnodiscovery@tumblr

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on!

"Life is like a grocery cart. Each of us has a grocery cart and the world is our supermarket. The world is filled with wonderful things. Push your cart down the aisles, Charlie Brown. That grocery cart is your life. Push it, Charlie Brown! Push it right up to the check-out counter!"

I’ve been really speeding along lately, huh? Ever since yesterday.

This is related to the well-known Snoopy; it’s a quote by a girl called Lucy from one of Charles Schulz's Peanuts strips.

I see. This was sent in by listener Peanuts-san. The message reads:
"Good morning. I really love this quote. When I see this quote, it really makes me want to go to more places and meet more people. Incidentally, although Charles Schulz-san is now gone, he had the same birthday as Ohno-kun."

Ohh. Which is also the same day as Kanjani∞’s Maru. (laughs)

A supermarket, huh? When I was a kid I liked sitting at the bottom of the cart. (laughs) Um, well, there’s like two baskets, right? Then underneath you can’t put baskets there, so I’d sit down there. I loved being pushed along like that. Mm. Though I could never do that ever again! It’d be embarrassing. Yeah.

For me, I like going to supermarkets. For example, like, um, when a friend’s coming over. Say we’re doing nabe and we have to buy ingredients and stuff. So my friend might say something like, "Shall I buy the ingredients?"
"No, I’ll do it."

Mm. I love choosing the stuff. And then I kinda want to try things! They often have them, right? Tasting corners where they give you a bite. But I can’t do them. I mean, it’s kinda… embarrassing, right? But I’d like to try them one day!

Um, those one mouthfuls are super tasty, aren’t they? How should I say… Like the ones selling asparagus, across from that, there’s the cooking station and they’d have the one mouthful size portions. I can’t help coming to a halt at those. (laughs)

(laughs) But to take off my mask to eat them… well, it’s like… If… IF I were to be found out, it’d be embarrassing, so I give up the idea. But it looks really tasty!

Well, since I can’t eat it, I end up buying the asparagus. (laughs) Yeah, they look really fat and delicious, after all.

I wonder whether you can eat as much of those as you want? There has to be a limit, right? But well, they’re interesting, supermarkets. I’d like to go again. Sometime soon. Well, probably not this year. Mm. But when I do nabe again with friends, I’ll go again! (laughs)

That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi!

Friday, January 09, 2015

2015.01.09 AD - Of fashion and FNS conversations.

[BGM ‘Hung up on’]

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Every Friday I respond to the messages received on this show.

First up is one from Chick-san.
"It’s been cold lately, hasn’t it? Ohno-kun, on such a cold day, which member would you want to warm you up once and for all?"

Umm… MatsuJun! Seems like he’d wrap me up well!

One from Blue Light-san.
"Oh-chan, good morning. It’s now winter. Please tell us you fashion for today. As always, are you in clothes that haven’t changed for the better?"

(laughs) Hey, Blue Light-san, isn’t that kinda mean? The way you put it!

Well, it’s true. If you glanced at me now, it’s not changed for the better at all. Some of my shirt buttons are even missing.

Currently… There’s not a single red item on me. Not a single red thing. Sorry. I’ll try harder this year. (laughs)

Right, next. From Sakiko-san of Kanagawa.
"Ohno-san, good morning. Lately, 'I'm exhausted' has become my favourite phrase, it’s kinda troubling. Even if I’m not really that tired, I still end up saying 'I'm exhausted'. Even though I tell myself that I shouldn’t say it if I’m not really tired, 3 minutes later I still end up saying 'I'm exhausted'. It feels like my luck’s taking a turn for the worse and I want to avoid that, but I still end up saying this. Even if I’m actually tired, I’d like to say something that has a different meaning from 'I'm exhausted'. What sort of phrase should I say? Something meaningless and short and magical and easy to say would be good.”

(laughs) Sakiko-san, you really haven’t thought of anything, have you?(laughs) That’s a pretty specific request. What should it be?

'I'm exhausted'… That’s true, it does feel like your luck will go down. How about that - 'I'm aliveee!' That’d work, right?

"Ahhhh… I’m aliveee!" Mm. And you are.

"Uwaaa… I really feel alive!"

Let’s go with that!

Next, from Mai-san.
"The other day, on Sexy Zone’s corner on Johnny’s web, Nakajima Kento-kun mentioned Ohno-san’s name[1]. Seems like you were talking during the FNS Music Festival. Kento-kun seemed to write very happily about it. Amongst that, he wrote that he was inspired by the fact that Ohno-kun watched his ‘Kurofuku Monogatari (Black Suit Story)’. If you don’t mind, could you tell us about your thoughts on ‘Kurofuku Monogatari’?”

Oh, we talked about that. Ah, besides that, there’s one from Sacrificial Pawn-san.
"What does Nakajima Kento-kun and Satoshi-kun have in common? I’m curious."

So we’ve got messages like that too. That’s how it is. Three years ago, when I did the serial drama 'Kagi no Kakatta Heya', Kento-kun was doing something for the same channel, too. It was the same… The studio next door, I think? So since Kento-kun was working there, he came over to greet me. And then during that period, often when we passed each other in the corridors, we’d often stand around talking. So it started from there.

Man, I’m pretty happy about that. It’s not often… like other groups, right. We don’t really get that chances to meet them frequently. Naturally bumping into them like that is great.

Right, so ‘Kurofuku Monogatari’… I watched about 3 episodes, but I didn’t watch the whole thing. It was like… ‘Kento-kun’! I guess he really suited the role.

"Ahh, it’s Kento-kun!" That’s what I thought. And then when I happened to look at it, I ended up just watching it the whole way. Mm. It was interesting, for me. Mm. That’s right, we talked during FNS.

Well, it’d be nice if we get to work together in the future. But well, Kento-kun’s really tall! Mm. Give me some of your height! (laughs) If we meet again, let’s talk about all sorts of things!

[BGM ‘Dare mo Shiranai’]

Next, from Tanukichi-san.
"Satoshi-kun, good morning. This is what I thought when I was looking at Johnny’s Web. Satoshi-kun, do you not know how your phone’s ‘enter’ key works? You always write without making any new paragraphs."

(laughs) I DO know it! I know how it works! It’s just that, for me, I just want to condense it.

So breaking into new paragraphs makes it more enjoyable?

"On that note, blah blah. And then! Dot dot dot…
Line break
Line break
Line break
This is what happened!”

Something like that would be better, right? So if it was like, "And then!…"and immediately after that, "This is what happened", it wouldn’t be as enjoyable, right?

I don’t get the point of ‘…’ at all. Like the members, when they update their part on Johnny’s Web, the one about the concert tour and all. The other day I saw everyone’s entries. And they all do it! The line breaks.

Is that normal? Am I the weird one? But it becomes really long!

They do the line breaks and the ‘…’, and they do it quite a lot. Then when you look at mine, you can read it in an instant. It’s really condensed. I kinda got embarrassed.

Normally when I get messages from my friends and there’s 2 questions or something, that makes it easier to understand, I guess. But basically… Bam! I have it all packed in. Maybe that’s just boring? (laughs)

Right, I got it. Well, I’ll give it a shot. I’ll try my best then.

And so with that, the weekly Friday messages have been answered. I’ll be awaiting your mail. The address is I’ll be waiting for you to send me lots of messages.

See you next week; this was Ohno Satoshi!

I don't get why big corporations like Coca-Cola have to resort to spamming this site!?
It's confusing. Surely a multimillion dollar business doenst need to resort to this.

Also, please only post it in one section of the forum. And don't use bold, size 14 and red writing.

The inversible Black and White films

All Black and White films Noir et Blanc are inversibles, but just a few are providing
good results. We have tested and selected those that provide the best results.

The ADOX Scala 160 135/36 film

The original Scala 200x film beeing now unavailable, we have selected the ADOX Scala 160 135/36 film whose performances are identical.
  • Optimum use from 160 to 640 ASA,
  • Excellente B&W palette, from the brightess whites to the strongest blacks,
  • Sharp details thanks to a very fine grain,
  • Excellent contrast capture,
  • Long exposure without correction,
  • Very well adapted to scanning and large size printing,

The Rollei Retro 400S film

The Retro 400S is a black and White film. Thanks to its clear base, it can be used as an inversible film.
To get a nice grey pattern, we recommend to use it at 200 ISO.
At 400 ISO it provides highly contrasted images with dense shadows.
Developement of B&W inversible films
We develop B&W reversible films in an Hostert Transfert machine inverting the image within an insolation tank.

Tips for Welcoming a Feline to the Family

(Family Features) Introducing a feline into the family can be an exciting time, but it’s important to remember that a new home is often a big change for a little cat. Whether it’s a kitten or an adult cat, providing your new pet with proper nutrition, the comforts of a good home and engaging playtime are just a few of the key things to keep in mind.

Try these simple tips from the experts at the TEMPTATIONS™ brand to help ensure a smooth transition for your new four-legged family member.

  • Cat-Proof the House – In addition to being constantly curious, cats are also instinctive climbers, meaning no surface is out of reach for your new pet. Make sure any potentially dangerous items – such as wires, cleaning supplies and sharp objects – are behind closed doors and inaccessible to your little climber. You can also provide a scratching post to help prevent your cat from scratching unwanted things, like your furniture.
  • Playtime is a Must – As little as 15-30 minutes of exercise and activity per day can help your cat stay energetic and in shape. Encourage your cat’s natural curiosity with engaging toys, such as the TEMPTATIONS™ SNACKY MOUSE™ Toy. Simply fill the mouse-shaped wobble toy with your cat’s favorite TEMPTATIONS treats and watch them entertain themselves by trying to knock the treats out of the toy and gobble them up. Playing together can also help strengthen the bond between owner and pet.
  • Create Some Comfort – Make your new friend truly feel like part of the family by giving him or her a personal spot in the house. A simple bed to call his own, a cat tree to view his new surroundings and some soft toys to play with are all it takes to provide the initial comfort to make your pet feel safe and welcome in a new home. For cats that prefer privacy when they’re not playing, a covered or hooded bed is a great option.
  • Fuel Your Feline – Taking care of your cat’s health starts with proper nutrition. Be sure to find a high-quality cat food that has recipes that are nutritionally tailored to meet the specialized needs of your cat. A brand like IAMS™ Cat Food fits that bill and has dry and wet cat food options for all stages of life, from kitten to senior, as well as options to aid in oral care, hairball care, high protein, digestion and metabolism.
  • Offer Affection – Always remember to show your cat you care. Whether it’s a scratch behind the ear, a nice brushing or a sweet cuddle session, your cat can feel loved and safe, knowing he or she is in good, caring hands.

Cristian Dimitrius on AMIRA underwater

Cristian Dimitrius on AMIRA underwater

Cristian Dimitrius is an Emmy award-winning wildlife cinematographer whose work includes productions for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Globo TV, History Channel and Animal Planet. Dimitrius' projects have taken him to remote locations all over the world to film endangered species on land and in water. His goal is to expose audiences to the beauty of nature and inspire respect for, and conservation of the earth's resources. For SIRENS OF CRYSTAL RIVER, Dimitrius took the ARRI AMIRA underwater to film wild manatees in Florida. He spoke with us on working with the camera designed for nimble and fast operation.

Describe the shoot and what you intended to capture.

For this assignment I needed images of manatee behavior in the waters of Crystal River, Florida. Annually manatees aggregate during the winter and this brings great opportunities to shoot these charismatic animals. My idea was to capture natural behavior, some interactions with mom and cub, swimming, general portrait images and any surprise that usually happens when filming wildlife.

How would you describe the look you were going for?

As natural as possible, but very cinematic. My goal is to always combine wildlife images and a great cinematography to evoke an emotional response from the audience. However shallow depth of field was not the best option for this shoot cause we need to guarantee focus on the whole animal -- this was a little larger the usual, but still smaller for regular underwater standards.

Why did you decide to shoot this on AMIRA?

For the last few years I had the opportunity to work in a great natural history production in Brazil and the main camera was the ARRI ALEXA. I fell in love with the camera and its sensor and now I wanted to expand the experience I had on land to some underwater shots, keeping the same quality and look. So, for this there was nothing better than ALEXA's little sister AMIRA. Also, I believe AMIRA was the right choice, not just for the quality, but for the sealed electronics that could provide extra protection from humidity and eventual drops that are common when you're working on boats. And for the efficient cooling system that is always very welcome inside an underwater housing. Size and weight were also considered so I believe that this was the right choice.

What kind of underwater housing are you using? Lenses? Workflow?

I used the Hydroflex MK5 from ARRI Rental, curve dome port and 20mm prime lenses. Underwater, we always use very wide lenses to minimize the distance between the sensor and the subject. This was a perfect choice to do different kinds of shots (wide, medium and narrow) without any distortion. Workflow wasn't the easiest because I had to analyze the conditions and set up the camera before getting underwater. For this I had the great support by Debora and Robert from the Fort Lauderdale ARRI team. Once the camera was ready, I would shoot until the card was done. Luckily, we found a great area and some manatees just for us, so I had plenty time to get the shots I needed.

For SIRENS OF CRYSTAL RIVER, Dimitrius took the ARRI AMIRA underwater to film wild manatees in Florida.

What do you think of AMIRA's size and ergonomics?

I believe the size, ergonomics and weight is great for a single operator or a small team. On land, I like to be able to use easily in low angles out of the tripod, on shoulder and on a tripod if needed. Underwater, inside the housing, I could easily manage myself with only the help of one person to put it in the water and bring back to the boat. This is a great overall camera for a wildlife production because in these environments, we need to work in small teams. AMIRA fits in this world perfectly.

How did the images turn out?

Images were awesome considering the short amount of time I spent underwater. We had some amazing mom and cub interaction, yawning, nice swimming movement, funny naps and lots of fish in the manatee area. Visibility was not the best, but it gave a natural river look, which sometimes works really well in some productions. As expected, texture, color and details were great and met the standards required for a high-end blue-chip wildlife documentary. This is extremely important because as I said before, people react to this even if they don't know. A video look doesn't evoke the same emotional connection to the scene as a cinema look. When we shoot wildlife and want people to watch, connect, and begin to care more about nature, we definitely need the look this camera can produce.

What types of productions would be ideal to be shot on AMIRA?

I believe this is a great camera for any kind of documentary specially when the DP cares about the photography and doesn't have, or cannot have, a big crew in the field and big budgets. It's easy to use as a single operator camera and combines exceptional image quality with a very strong build. In the wildlife documentary world, the ability to shoot up to 200 fps can make a huge difference and, as I said before, the sealed electronics provide extra protection against dust and humidity that make a difference in harsh environments. I would be comfortable taking this camera to the Poles, tropical rainforests, deserts, islands and even underwater inside a proper housing knowing that the system will not let me down.

What upcoming projects do you have?

This year we have many adventures to film for my TV show including bats, killer whales, crocodiles, snow dogs, gelada monkeys and hippos. Also, there is a brand new series for cable tv, but this is top secret :), and a large project in the Brazilian Pantanal for a Canadian TV Channel. So, lots of time in the field! Despite fieldwork, I am working also with exhibits and educational projects in Brazil and soon USA -- taking nature to shopping malls, public places and schools. My lifelong mission is to inspire people to fall in love with our planet through my images, arousing the desire for knowledge and conservation of the place we all can call home. This mission never ends and there's still a lot to do. AMIRA is just a great partner to help me accomplish that.

Was born in Reading, Berkshire in England and was educated at Langton (Lancing?) College, Canterbury, Kent. Leaving school he was articled to Sir Alexander Stenning, FRIBA, and William Jennings, FSI, at Canterbury for four years. He later spent two years as an assistant with JF Duthoit, ARIBA, in Dover. In 1899 he enlisted with the 1st Contingent of Yeomanry, attached to the 77th Battery Field Artillery, in order to take part in the Anglo-Boer War. He remained in the country after the war and continued his work in architecture. He was employed in the office of STUCKE & BANNISTER in Johannesburg for six months before he joined the architectural branch of the Town Engineer's Department in Johannesburg in 1903. Here he appears to have made his career. Alder was closely involved with the Association of Transvaal Architects and became its first registrar in 1903. In 1913 Alder acted as assessor of the competition for a bioscope hall in Johannesburg. Nothing is currently known of his subsequent career. He died in the Transvaal.

The Poet in Love: On "La Boheme"

Synopsis of the Opera

In an apartment in Paris’ Latin Quarter reside four struggling intellectuals/artists: Rodolfo, a poet; Marcello, a painter; Schaunard, a musician; Colline, a philosopher. We begin in an apartment with only Rodolfo and Marcello at work, complaining about the cold. It is winter, and firewood is expensive. So Rodolfo willingly burns a drama he wrote for warmth. Colline comes and joins the fun of using another’s art for warmth.

After this is done, of course, Schaunard appears with wealth earned from music lessons and spreads his newfound wealth around. The roommates decide they’re going to leave for a Cafe in order to celebrate. Rodolfo stays behind to work on an article, and after they have left, he hears a knock at the door. That’s when he meets Mimi, a fragile girl with lovely eyes who has consumption. She makes a living by embroidering flowers. They fall in love immediately.

Everyone mentioned in this synopsis so far meets up at the Cafe, where they run into the girl who is Marcello’s ex, Musetta. Musetta wants to live well, so she has no problem leading men on to take as much as they will give away. She gets a man she’s about to ditch to pay for everyone’s meal as she runs off yet again with Marcello.

We skip to some time later, and Mimi talks to Marcello privately about how she can not tolerate Rodolfo’s jealousy any longer. Marcello tells Mimi to leave when he sees Rodolfo coming, and Mimi “leaves” but somehow manages to pick up on every single word Rodolfo and Marcello exchange. Rodolfo explains how his jealousy is really a cover for the fact that he’s scared she’s going to die. He explains that this is driving him crazy, and he must break up with Mimi. Mimi at this point blows her cover and the two talk passionately about how they must break off their relationship with no regrets. Meanwhile, Marcello, in the same scene, gets wind of Musetta flirting with any number of men. Near the end of the scene, Rodolfo and Mimi are singing quietly about what has been, and how it has been beautiful, while Marcello and Musetta violently fight over who is a tyrant and who is a whore.

Both couples break up.

The final act has Colline land a job as one of the King’s Ministers, with Schaunard still “in the money.” Musetta breaks in on all 4 roommates frolicking, which was spurred by Colline’s news and some extra food brought by both philosopher and musician, to tell them that Mimi is going to die. Mimi is brought into the room, and Rodolfo and her get some time alone and renew their love, before she dies. It does look like a reconciliation between Musetta and Marcello occurs, but all four others besides Rodolfo have their backs turned in grief on the weeping Rodolfo and dead Mimi as the opera ends.

So What is This About, Really?

It looks like 3 of the 4 intellectuals/artists have achieved happiness at the end. Why is the poet excluded?

There’s something peculiar about love for Mimi that contrast with Musetta brings forward. Musetta makes no secret of the fact she plays with desire, that she lives in/for the erotic. Mimi isn’t like that at all; she prays, although is lax about church attendance. She is thrilled by a pink bonnet, and doesn’t whine in any way like Musetta does (as a ruse, but why is the ruse believable?) when her (Musetta’s) shoe breaks. Mimi says that spring is all she longs for, truly.

The girl, Mimi, is perfection. One of the puzzling things about this opera is what kind of nutcase would burn his own play at the beginning. At first I thought this was a cute nod to where true poetry lies: not in the story the poet creates, but in the love that is lived. And at the Cafe, Rodolfo does declare that while he is a poet, Mimi is poetry herself.

But what does Rodolfo love? Burning a play is a sign of disgust. He wants something more, and that is why he became a poet, I would conjecture. I remember when I used to write unsent love letter after love letter – I might have hundreds of those things lying around, actually. What I wanted then was the perfect words with which to express love, the words that would be irresistible. I guess I was looking for the perfect words, words that had to be accepted because there was no way to challenge them.

Rodolfo probably wants something of the same. What is attractive about Mimi is that she is so fragile, that she walks the line between this world and the next, between the fleeting and the eternal. The pink bonnet covers her head and allows him to focus on those eyes he loves so much. That her hand is cold, and will almost always be cold despite efforts to warm it, makes the eyes that much more attractive.

So Rodolfo’s love is a love which can never be consummated, and I suspect that’s the deep reason why he feels guilty about Mimi – not that she’s going to die and he will be alone, but that he loves her only because of her delicacy. What is even more tragic about this love, of course, is that it is the sort of love those of us who are not poets grow into. We’ve all seen widows and widowers after a lifetime of memories are all they have left. Some have the strength to carry on, many don’t. I have no idea what these people go through. I don’t want to have any such idea, it must be the most frightening thing in a sense. But someone’s love has turned to despair in such situations, I think, because it is hard to live life again after having been part of something that much greater, that was always, in the background, oh-so-fragile.

The calmness of Rodolfo and Mimi’s ideal love allows for the reconciliation of Musetta and Marcello, and makes the wealth of the musician and the power of the philosopher look like puny things. Sexual desire, wealth and power don’t compare to the love of perfection and all its tragic consequences, and that I think is the significance of the poet’s love in this opera.

Singapore Scientists Reveal Origins Of Durian's Pungent Aroma

One of nature's smelliest secrets may have been revealed, thanks to a dedicated team of durian-loving scientists in Singapore. Researchers have found an odour gene which gives the thorny fruit its notoriously pungent scent. The discovery meant the possibility of creating "odourless or milder-tasting" fruits in future, the scientists said. It has sparked mixed feelings from durian aficionados, who worship its signature rank smell. "A durian without its smell is nothing but an empty shell with no essence," wrote Singaporean Richie Liang on Facebook, who also compared "a durian without its unique smell" to "a human being who has lost his or her soul".

After three years of research, privately funded by a group of anonymous durian lovers, the five-man team of cancer scientists now have a complete genetic map of the fruit, a world first. Their findings were published in academic journal Nature Genetics. "Our analysis revealed that volatile sulphur production is turbocharged in durians, which fits with many people's opinions that durian smell has a 'sulphury' aspect," said geneticist Patrick Tan, who co-led the study.

The researchers said the durian's distinctive odour served an important purpose to it in the wild: helping to attract animals to eat it and disperse its seeds. Grown in many countries across tropical South East Asia, the spiky, stinky durian is an acquired taste. The fruit is loved and loathed in equal measure. Eating durian is banned in many outdoor spaces throughout Singapore and carrying it is prohibited on public transport because of its smell.

But its fans remain fiercely protective over retaining its controversial scent. "What's durian if it's odourless and tasteless? Yuck," said Manfred Man, adding that he would "never mess with nature". Jason Lim saw the potential in the durian discovery and shared his hope for new hybrid signature smells. "I wish someone would create avocado with durian smell. Durian fans will know what I am talking about."

Odours aside, the durian's ancestry was also revealed, believed to be dating back an estimated 65m years to the cacao plant. Zachary Tay hilariously summed up this revelation: "So we're basically eating chocolate."
