[RUMOR] Is the Taiko Switch Game Being Localized?

Unlike other rumor-labeled posts, this one mainly exists for speculation means, as the bit of news that started all the hypothesis-mongering Internet theories is originated by an official press release by the American branch of Bandai Namco. On January 13th, one of the Western branch's press releases was bringing the following title:

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. Confirms Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2 (Working Title) Coming to Nintendo Switch in the Americas, with Tales of and Taiko Drum Master in Development

Despite the proper body of the press statement being only about the latest home console Dragon Ball game's porting, the mere mention of the localized title of the series as part of that title has already galvanized more than one people around the Internet, with the assumptions of the future Switch Taiko game being aimed to more than one geographical area sprung by the fact of the Taiko no Tatsujin series in press releases being usually relegated to the Japanese branch's officially-released statements. As usual, the only way to find out if this scenario will turn out to be true is to wait...

The press release has been mirrored by videogame website Gamasutra as part of their partnership with the PR-related website GamesPress.

Behind the Drums: Takeharu Kijima

Takeharu Kijima (耒嶋丈晴) has joined the Taiko Team in 2003 (sometime during the production of the 5th main-line arcade) and since then he's been put in charge of the note-charting creation for a wide number of songs (more than 120, according to a Taiko Team interview). As years went by, he coined the Kijikiji (キジキジ) Notecharter Sentai nickname for himself as well as being put in charge of the directing duties for a number of portable Taiko titles. His working portfolio in the team also includes the role of director for the first Wii U title of the series, for which he also curated the official announcements being put in the related Miiverse page under the nick of Kijima (キジマ).

From his charting beginnings with the iconic Soul Calibur II to this day, Takeshi has been seen at work on 8* Oni songs the most, putting a bigger focus on Don/Kat note alternations for handswitching segments and to aim for the creation of an accompaniment scenario that can better project the feelings of the people playing his charts for the songs they love the most.

Behind the Drums: Kubo Kenichiro

Kubo Kenichiro (久保賢一朗) joined Bandai Namco as a Taiko Team member in 2006, between the creation of Taiko 8 and PSP's Portable 2. Aside from his glasses and peculiar hairstyle, he's renowned in the Taiko Team for being a fan of idol producing and board games, two traits that earned him some roles in the iDOLM@STER series' development in the following years. One of the more-flexible Taiko Team supervisors, Kubo has taken a wide number of roles since his hiring, both in-series and in general music series talk, with him being credited as the co-composer of several arrangements in Donkey Konga 2, together with the nick-named Jesahm (自営山).

Aside from his plan to make as many surprise cameos as possible during the Taiko Team's livestream sessions, he's a long-time charter that signs his creations under the pen name of Kuboken (くぼけん). While mostly handling songs in the 6-to-8 Oni ballpark, he loves all difficulty ranges in the series without discrimination while weighting the most suitable notechart perks to assign to each, from special combo counters to repeating patterns in different permutations and difficulty spikes in otherwise Full Combo-manageable songs (his favorite quirk!). With the transition to Nicovideo livestreams for the Taiko Team, Kuboken's nickname for his subsequent cameos has been replaced with a more generic Don-Chan (どんちゃん) label, as it turned out that the Japanese video-hosting service treats くぼけん as an NG word for user comment means!

[RANDOM] Bandai Namco's Happy New Taiko Year

...okay, the New Year's Eve celebrations have already come and gone, but it's nevertheless interesting to spotlight the most recent NYE card from Bandai Namco, as the 2017 version is starring Don-Chan! Being the Chinese Year of the Rooster, the drum buddy is also sporting a suiting outfit to the coming 12-month cycle.

Shoutout to the 8-4 blog for this find!

Taiko no Tatsujin Now DECISIVELY Coming to Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch presentation has went and gone... and despite us being caught in the fake news hurricane earlier this week, we're back to talk about it due to some officially-confirmed development!

At the bottom of the Japanese Nintendo website page that is dedicated to the upcoming software lineup for the Nintendo Switch (reference link here), it's possible -in fact- to find out that the oh-so-much-familiar Taiko no Tatsujin logo is appearing among the other big names. Also take note that after the press conference reveal of this console being a region-free platform (meaning that all consoles will be able to play titles from any side of the globe regardless of their system's geographical provenience), this upcoming (and still un-named) title for the Switch will most assuredly become the very first home console game in the series that can be played in all major continental areas!

Don-chan on PlayStation 3 and 4 Finally! (via LittleBigPlanet 3)

With the rumor of Taiko no Tatsujin strengthening ties with Nintendo with another new game in the works on the brand-spanking-new console, it seems that PlayStation 3 and 4 will stay Don-chan-less for a good while.

Except the time when LittleBigPlanet collaborated with Namco in bringing a series of classic Namco IP into DLC character skins. The quadpedal OddSock can now costume as the also quadpedal Don-chan for (whatever you do in LBP, sorry I do not know).

PlayStation Store DLC Details

Did you know? LittleBigPlanet 3 also inherits the series' custom map creation tools. If you have the know-how you can potentially make a mock-up Taiko map there! Heck, maybe the LBP community have already done that already.

[RUMOR] - Taiko no Tatsujin Coming to the Nintendo Switch?

The big guessing game that is rumor-mongering about Nintendo's next home console and its software lineup is roaring wild for a while since the announcement of a worldwide presentation slated for this week. Sure enough, we too now have a reason to chime into this hot topic!

From an allegedly-leaked pamphlet for the week-end hands-on Nintendo Switch event that is planned for Japanese audiences, it's possible to spot in the picture above a mention to a Taiko no Tatsujin game for the Nintendo Switch, with its stand being located on the left to the Monster Hunter one (that is the one that has been circled up in the picture above). With rumors of the system itself being a region-free platform, will the incoming news load about the system confirm what potentially is the best-case scenario for Taiko players from both Japan and the rest of the world?

UPDATE 1: Zoomed-in detail. Title rumored to be Taiko no Tatsujin Switch Edition! (太鼓の達人 Switchえでぃしょん！). Official release of playable titles and programming to be available on January 13 after Nintendo Direct presentation on Switch main site. (source)

UPDATE 2:The dream is over, as the author of this rumor has revealed that this was, in fact, one of the many fake rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch. Better luck next time?

Sonority Scouts - Ignis Danse's Extra Difficulty on Maimai

While Yuji Masubuchi's first Tenkaichi Otogesai contribution has yet to receive an extra difficulty treatment in its homelands, an update that was applied earlier today to the latest models of Sega's maimai series -maimai MURASAKi version- has added a new playable trial starring the very-much heated Ignis Danse!

Unlike the regular Re:Master modes (of which we also briefly talked about in one of our past Sympho-Neighbours features), this extra mode is being relegated to the brand-new Enkai-ba (宴会場, lit. 'Banquet Hall') mode, where players are called upon to score a minimum hit-note percentage to clear the song with a chart that follows a certain theme. Ignis Danse's hinted theme is pointed out in the game's website as 'Arbitrarily Holding a Score Festival' (勝手にお蔵入り譜面祭), as in this is the first Tenkaichi Otogesai-spawned song to receive the dubbed-by-fans Utage (宴) treatment.

Namco Taiko Blog (5 January 2017) - New Year's Taiko x iM@S Cinderella Girls Update

The Taiko Team is back in activity for 2017's beginning and as promised, Etou's first course of action is to spread more informations about the incoming 3rd iteration of the Cinderella Girls collaboration.

As the tweet on the top is attesting, three more songs from Idolm@ster-related media will be introduced in the event together with Tulip: S(mile)ING!, Never say never and TOKIMEKI Escalate (TOKIMEKIエスカレート). All three songs are solo idol songs, muck like what has been for the last newcomer trio of iM@S tracks added to Red Version in 2016.

See you next Thursday for another blog entry and the opening of this collaboration event's dedicated website!

Behind the Drums: Yuji Masubuchi

Born on July 26th, Yuji Masubuchi (増渕裕二氏) is one of the series' longest-contributing composers from NAMCO SOUNDS, as well as one of the few figures of the Taiko Team that have both composed songs and created notecharts along the years. Masubuchi joined the Taiko Team during the summer of 2001, and since then he's the sound director for the series' subsequent entries.

Having the phrase 'Seriously Serious' (真面目に不真面目) as his personal motto, the composer joined Namco Bandai in the hopes of being put in charge of idol-sang progressive rock tracks, which ultimately led to the creation of Taiko series' Mika Sato songs as one of his earliest tasks and later on having the opportunity to make several original tracks for the iDOLM@STER series, with Linda AI-CUE often teaming up as the lyricist (or in the case of Namco Original Mekadesu, as the singer himself!). According to a Famitsu interview on issue no.1237, Masubuchi is currently in a supervision position of the Taiko Team, while being himself in a quite flexible frame on his roles for the Taiko series, composing songs for some of the most recent cross-over music games events as well as co-hosting and live performing songs during several Taiko Team livestreams of the past up to become one of the judges of the CreoFUGA-fueled song creation contests for the series.

Masubuchi's passions often intertwine with the Taiko lore and in-joke scenarios in more ways than his progressive rock passion alone, with him being a fan of motorcycles and food (with his favorite dishes being tsukemen noodles and rice curry). The food-loving trait, for example, has been quite the appreciated aspect along the years, with song titles and Taiko Team tweets winking to 'lots of rice curry' due to Masubuchi's will to enjoy his favorite meal at least twice a week! It's also been the topic of the most recent songs of the de series, between eating-based parties and Masubuchi himself enacting the role of Professor Marvy in the inside joke-y audio drama series Audio Deka.

As a notechart creator, Masubuchi's carreer roughly started around the third Taiko arcade's release, generally being put in charge of high-difficulty songs and roughly 90% of the tracks created by himself. Due to Masabuchi being a guitar and drums player, his charts usually follow the instrumental base of the songs charted, often resulting in hybrid cluster formation sequences in different time signatures. Since 2016, Masubuchi is signing his notecharts under the Notecharter Sentai nickname of Masubu・Chuji (マスブ・チュジー), although it's also referenced in other instances as Masubu・Chupi (マスブ・チュピー), such as during the staff roll of the iDOLM@STER MUST SONGS titles.

  Old  How to keep your Social Network buzzin'

Anyone who has run a social network will know that there are lulls of activity during various times of the year. If you do not do something at that point the lulls could easily become apathetic and your social network will go into decline.

Nobody likes decline not even your members. You may even find that those members who were so active, the ones you relied upon may even stop entering your site. So what do you do?

Do you roll over and hope that it will soon pick up, or, do you put your thinking cap on?

I hope you chose the latter and if you did, here are a few ideas to get the motivation running high again amongst your members.

1) Involve them, create jobs for them to do, like monitoring groups, forums, blogs. Being involved gives your members a sense of importance and loyalty.

2) Create events. This is a little harder but it can be done. One social group I was with held a party. It was a 24 hour party so that all members could attend. There was music, drinks flowing, laughter and plenty of chat.

The key to a successful party is to have 2-3 members constantly on the site or in the chat room, to meet and greet, pull into the conversations. Sometimes there were three or four conversations going on at the same time. I was great fun.

3) Set Challenges with a prize for the most inventive and ingenious solution.

4) Finally, ask questions and plenty of them. This will keep your members close and less inclined to apathy.

Hope this has helped. If anyone has any further ideas please add.

Interviewed again by Bluebird Banter

Last year, I had the pleasure of answering a few questions from Blue Jays blog Bluebird Banter. Tom Dakers of their site runs a feature called “View from the other side”, where he talks to bloggers from teams the Blue Jays are about to play.

With the Jays and Rays kicking off the second half of the season, Tom again sent me a few questions on the Rays attendance, the Tampa Bay market, some of the factors influencing attendance, and how the Dunedin Blue Jays are faring attendance-wise.

Please check out the interview. I like to think it turned out pretty good.

Elenda, the Dusk Rose (Aristocrats)

Commander / EDH Aristocrats Multiplayer Tokens W/B (Orzhov)

Take advantage of the interaction between creatures that replace themselves and Elenda by abusing Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos and Butcher of Malakir (Don't have a copy of Martyr's Bond yet.) This deck's goal is to sort of get triple value out of some creatures. It is a pretty casual list and I have not put any money into it yet, just the cards that I own, but if I end up liking it enough, I may upgrade it. Feel free to make suggestions and thanks for checking it out.Some of my favorite cards in the deck so far:

Animation Module with Ashnod's Altar gives us infinite +1/+1 counters on Elenda, thus letting us create infinite tokens when we sacrifice her. Sacrifice those to Altar of Dementia to deck everyone

Gift of Immortality is unfair with Elenda. Shade's Form is also a hidden gem that is not as good as the gift, but is fun since it let's us pump Elenda, sac her and then brings her back.

Geth, Lord of the Vault is probably one of my favorite cards ever made and I figured he would fit in here since a lot of stuff will be heading to the graveyard and we have the ability to create a decent amount of mana for his ability.

Hidden Stockpile is a value engine with all of the sacrificing we'll be doing, plus it feeds itself if need be.

Altar of Dementia,Exsanguinate, and Debt to the Deathless are the main win conditions.

Other Combos:Ashnod's Altar+Karmic Guide+Reveillark

Edit 1: Pulled off the game winning Altar of Dementia mill on 2 opponents earlier this week and it felt great. This is hands down one of the most fun decks I've played. Even without the combos, the deck is relentless and you always have something to do or something to think about.

A New Spirit Part One

What Will You See in the Shulamite?

Message by former World Language Secretary Bishop Felix Garcia during the 84th Assembly, edited for publication by the White Wing Messenger for the November 11, 1989 issue.

“Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies” (Song of Solomon 6:10-13).

I started my ministry a little more than 33 years ago in 1956. I remember thinking when I started that it would not be long until all of us would be perfect. I really thought that we would reach perfection in no time at all. What I saw and heard made me think that time was really short. I thought that by now we would be walking on grounds of perfection. Of course, it is not so. We are still struggling with things that were apparent way back in those days. As a matter of fact, there are those who think that the Church was better in those days than she is today. Listening to some reminiscing on the past, one gets the impression that they would rather be living in the good old days than now. Perhaps that would be all right for some, but it is not for me. I am happy to be part of the Church in these last days. We are living in exciting times. These are times of climax and times of fulfillment in God’s holy schedule for the Church.

The role of the Church and its dramatic finale will be the most exhilarating and emotion-filled period of her life. Expectancy fills the Church today like never before.

In spite of the dull situation that may surround us, the Church, as a whole, is not about to be consumed by sin. She will not be captivated by evil. She will not erode and disintegrate. She will not be overpowered by evil men to be derailed from God’s divine calling and mission. No, I do not see this in the Scripture. What I see in the Scripture is a glorious Church.

“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:26, 27). This is what I see in the Bible about the Church of God.

God’s plan for the Church may not be altered, neither by man’s design nor by the forces of the devil. What He has pre-ordained for her in His Holy Word will not be changed. Not even the gates of hell shall prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). Such is the destiny of the general Church structure. This Church, the Church of God, was uniquely created by a holy, divine, and eternal Creator, and because of her unique origin and because of her unique creation effected by this holy, divine, and eternal Creator and because she is one with the Creator she has those same virtues today. She therefore is a holy Church, a divine Church, an eternal Church.

“For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:30-32).

Again, I must say that the Church is not yet perfect. You notice I said YET. All one has to do is to look around him to find numerous discrepancies in her. But God’s intent is to change her. He is going to change her and make her what He wants her to be. He will do that, even if He has to replace all of us. What you see in the Church of God today may not be what He will eventually get, because if you are not willing to change you’ll be replaced. He will do that even if He has to replace all of us with people who will obey and follow the leading of the Holy Ghost. The administrative personnel may change. He may call other men and women to the leadership of this Church. The divine and holy structure and its biblical design will not change, because it is in the Bible. The Word changes not; God changes not, and He will fulfill it to every dot and every tiny bit. His peculiar message of one God, one faith and one Church for all cannot change. And we cannot drop it from our preaching repertoire of messages, because we did not originate such an idea. That idea came from the Author of the Bible. The uniqueness of being His one and only Church will not change, because once He chose her He chose her forever. These biblical facts are reserved for His holy and glorious Church.

The Song of Solomon is known to be an allegory, depicting the relationship that exist, or that should exist, or that will exist between Christ and the Church. From the very beginning in the Song of Solomon the Lord is wooing or trying to get her attention by being complimentary of her beauty. The flattery of His words fill her with wonderment; however, her aroused passion and the surging emotions within her are timidly and shyly restrained so He calls her. In chapter two He says, “…Rise up, my love…and come away” (V. 10), but she continues to hide in the cleft of the rocks and in the secret places. He entreats her:

“My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely” (Song of Solomon 2:10-14).

Finally, her stimulated passion for His love is too much and she embarks on a search for Him. “I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth…” (3:2).

The love affair continues in expression of intense passion. He delicately describes her anatomy by using comparisons of things considered beautiful in His eyes. Things are getting very serious, and in chapter 5 there is an attempt by her suitor to be with her, but, because of her vain considerations and her concern for her self-comfort, she misses her life-long desire to see her beloved and to be with Him.

“I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night” (5:2).

She responds: “I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer” (5:3-6).

What a tremendous story! I believe we too have missed such an opportunity by being too concerned about our personal comfort and being negligent enough to forfeit a divine visitation. How could anybody be so proud and so foolish? O God, help us to put You first! I believe the Holy Ghost, has been trying to get our attention. I believe God has been trying to call us to repentance, to acknowledgment, to a closer walk with Him. To let Him in would mean the greatest fellowship with the Lord we have ever experienced. Our pride and our self-concern got in the way and foolishly and recklessly we went on thinking that we had things under control, until the Holy Ghost had to call it to our attention.

For such a long time, there was no answer. “I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.” Isn’t that awful! She continues though. Shocked by the realization that she just missed the chance of a lifetime she embarks on a search for her Beloved that will see her through some adversity. She lost dignity, much comfort and suffered beatings and was wounded. “…I called him, but he gave me no answer. The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me” (5:6, 7).

It was a pitiful moment for her but it was not over. Possessed by the great desire to see Him, she obviously repents of her neglect to His calling and begins to seriously shape up and regains her beauty and dignity, and receives healing for all her inner and physical hurts. Praise God for forgiveness!

I see forgiveness in the Church today, because I see the Church repenting. I believe we realize that our folly has been costly and we are interested in seeing an end to this. Our altars have been empty too long. Our services have been dry and lifeless too long. Our ministry has, in many areas, been too ineffective. We have experienced little or no growth, no miracles, no true manifestations of the Holy Ghost. Particularly, and for the most part, I am speaking of here in the United States. This has been a troubling ordeal.

I visited a pastor last year just before the Assembly. When we arrived at his local church I admired his building. It was nice with all the facilities, and I said, “Oh brother, this is nice, oh what a nice building – classrooms, a cafeteria.” He replied, “This is a nice place but, would you believe that I have not baptized anyone in that baptistery for months and months? Would you believe that no one has been saved at this altar for months and months? Would you believe we are not doing any good here?” If I asked how many of you have experienced that in your local churches these past few years, you would know what I mean. We are all heartbroken but we know where the answer is. Get hold of God! Get hold of God!

I heard they had a revival in that local church and God has blessed them with new members – people being saved, baptized in water and added to the Church. This is what has to take place. We must have a great desire to be close to God. He loves us and the Holy Ghost has brought this to our attention saying, “Repent! Repent! Repent!” I believe the Church has decided that we must get hold of God. There may be a few “die-hards” who would like to hang on to their arrogance and, erringly, are trying to bring a worldly remedy to a spiritual problem. We need to get hold of God. I believe the Church is in an attitude of contrition.

To be continued…

How Brands Tackle Counterfeiting

For centuries, the makers and manufacturers of goods have been engaged in an almost non-stop war with those who make cheap copies of their products. In the past, the owners have come up with some truly imaginative and inventive attempts to protect their brand and reputation. That has even included, at times, the use of things such as invisible ink signatures on items that a potential counterfeiter would hopefully not be aware of or even if they were, that they’d be unable to replicate.

Inter African Committee USA & Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation Observe International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM

International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM/C was this past Saturday, February 6th.  Two U.S.-based anti-FGM/C organizations came together in a roundtable discussion in observance of the day.  Among a diverse group of guests were the President and Vice President of the Guinean Women’s Association, representatives from the Kenya-based Memusi Foundation, officials from Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation and Inter African Committee USA, among many others.

The theme for this year’s observance is “Together, mobilizing to contribute to the achievement of the new Global Goals through the elimination of Female Genital Mutilation by 2030.”

Addressing the guests, the President of the Inter African Committee USA, Mrs. Fatoumata Kande-Kouyate said that they have been working against the practice of female genital mutilation since the 1980s in Guinea and other parts of the world; however they established the USA extension of the organization in recent years.  She continued, “To this end, the Inter-African Committee makes a strong appeal to all its partners, (communities, governments, regional and international organizations, civil society and non-governmental organizations, religious organizations, women and men of good will) for a planetary mobilization against FGM.”  Kande-Kouyate stressed the importance of assistance from all available channels, such as radio, television, press, social media, in-home visits, sports and traditional and cultural events.

Meanwhile, the Executive Director of Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation, Angela Peabody told their guests that educating the excisors on the dangers of FGM is crucial.  She called for collaborations through a special coalition to make the voices of activists and advocates louder.  Peabody applauded the many men in the room who pledged their support in the campaign against FGM.  Among the men around the table was a retired Chief from Guinea, who said he has always been against the practice of FGM.

Procrastinating the Inevitable...

Do You Know What Time of Year It Is???

By thePatrick

March - The third month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, and one of the seven months which are 31 days long. The name of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Martius after Mars, the Roman god of war. In Rome, where the climate is Mediterranean, March is the first month of spring, a logical point for the beginning of the year as well as the start of the military campaign season. March has multiple holidays and observances, including but not limited to: American Red Cross Month, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Women's History Month, St. David's Day, National Reading Day, World Maths Day, International Women's Day, Pluto Planet Day, Pi Day, Save a Spider Day, St. Patrick's Day, St. Joseph's Day, Vernal Equinox, World Water Day, Pakistan Day, etc., etc., etc. Also notable is March Madness, the beginning of the Annual NCAA Men's (and Women's) Basketball tournament.

Mustache - facial hair grown on the upper-lip. The term implies that the wearer grows only upper-lip hair while shaving the hair on his chin and cheeks. Shaving with stone razors was technologically possible from Neolithic times, but the oldest portrait showing a shaved man with a mustache is an ancient Iranian horseman from 300 BC. In more modern history, moustaches have been worn my military men. The umber of nations, regiments and ranks were equalled only by the number of styles and variations. Generally, the younger men and lower ranks work the smaller and less elaborate mustaches. As a man advanced in rank, his mustache would become thicker and bushier, until he was permitted to wear a full beard. In Western cultures women generally avoid the growth of facial hair; though many are capable, the majority of these women remove it. Some women, however choose to embrace this growth, often in the form of thin mustaches. Mexican artist Frida Kahlo famously depicted herself in her artwork with both a mustache and a unibrow. Most men with a normal or strong mustache tend it daily, by shaving the hair of the chin and cheeks, to prevent it from becoming a full beard. A variety of tools have been developed for the care of mustaches, including mustache wax, mustache nets, mustache brushes, mustache combs and mustache scissors.

So why is this important? Because it's Mustache March!!! Woot! So, celebrate like you mean it. Guys and girls, grow that upper lip hair. Salvidor Dali, Burt Reynolds, Borat, Frank Zappa, Albert Einstein, Teddy Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin. It doesn't matter who you emulate, but participate in the greatest month long holiday there is. It'll make you proud to be alive.

Colorectal Cancer Awareness is one of my favorite holidays. Right up there with Festivus and John Stockton Day!

Your moustache, sadly, will never compare with mine. Good try, though.

    I’ve experienced that with the 43, so I had to give it more finger. If you haven’t yet, consider trying the medium beavertail backstrap on a Gen 5. I use that configuration on my 26 & 19 and the pistol stays planted and feels better to me.

    Man, you’re awfully spun up over this. I hope you don’t carry a gun while this agitated. Clearly you have issues to work through. Good luck.

    Who else got this email from Glock?

    48 is about same height and length as 19, but thinner and 10 round capacity. 43x is shorter barrel as on 43, but same grip height as 48 (which Is the same as 19) at 5.04 I agree that these will be popular in states that limit to 10 rounds, but for me the slightly thicker 19 is a better choice (with 17 spare mags). Heck, the 26 is slightly thicker than 43x but shorter grip and still 10 rounds, plus you can carry a spare 15 or 17 round mag.

    Keeping magazines separate

    You could pick up Ammo Armor covers, using different colors for different calibers. These also protect from dirt, lint, etc. and keep the rounds intact. I use them and they are excellent.

    School me on the Walther PPK

    I also carried one as a BUG on duty. My partner and I both had Interarms stainless PPK (no S) and they were superb. Two things to note: - this pistol does much better with a well done ramp & throat polish. - if carrying for self defense I suggest several rounds to ensure reliability, as the PPK can be sensitive to billet profile on some of the more squared-off hollow point ammo. Were I to carry one today, I’d run the CorBon PowRBall ammo.

    Avoid Meprolight products

    I get that you’ve had a bad experience and needed to vent, but every product is bound to have the occasional problem. I’ve had great results with the brand and never any issues.

Fun with Cardinals

One thing about bird feeders is that you can always count on something to photograph. You can also always count on certain birds to make an appearance. One of my all time favorites is the Northern Cardinal which I always loved as a child and love even more after being cardinal-deprived while I lived in Colorado. I miss the Golden Eagles and magpies of the West but there is some compensation when that bright red snatches my attention amidst the grays and browns of a winter forest.

Peace Valley Natural Area, which is just northwest of Doylestown, has a nice feeder station behind the nature center. Some of the most active visitors are the cardinals. The males take turns chasing off other birds and play King of the Feeder Ledge and munch down some seeds before being chased off by another male.

The females wait quietly in the nearby shrubs until there is a lull in the mange-a-mania, and then perch politely on the feeder ledge.

 mangebird.jpg    sitting-pretty.jpg

But no matter one’s feeder manners, seed-crunching is a messy business.

The House Finches were the only birds that stood their ground against the cardinals.

Face Off

Sometimes the middle slat in the blind is right in the way of my lenses but I don’t mind hunching over for an hour or so because the action is so constant. For most of the shots in this post I used my Canon 20D SLR and 300mm lens. The fellow below was digiscoped.
You might think that feeder photo sessions would grow boring, but you know what? They don’t. First of all, I can get some nice close ups. Here is a cardinal with a peaceful and benign look to his face, but then, it’s likely he was sated on seeds and was content to let the rest of Bird World enjoy the feeder offerings for a few moments.

And there are some fun surreal action shots that I create with slow shutter speeds. The fellow below was making a fast reverse from off the ledge when a house finch made it clear no cardinals need sit and eat.

In between forays to the feeder cardinals made enjoyable subjects for idle shots. I could never get tired of that red on the male.

Nor could I ignore the subtle hues of red and tan mixed in with the olive green plumage on the female. With her back to my lens this female blends nicely into the background of her environment.

Yes, those cardinals were everywhere. I took a shot of this Carolina Wren and just look who manages to get his picture in there.

Review of the Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue – Part I

New characters greet (and confuse) you as you enter the new interactive queue at WDW's Haunted Mansion
(Originally posted March 27, 2011)

People at theme parks are little better than devolved monkeys. Some so resemble this image that it’s hard to tell if I should direct them to the entrance of my attraction or hand them a banana. First off before delving further into the myopic cesspool of humanity that inhabit theme parks let me say I am speaking in generalities and that I admit there are a great deal of people there simply to enjoy the experience and have a good time lost in the fantasy created by the fantastical buildings and people that work there. They know why they are there and appreciate the great and small. They take time to allow the atmosphere to seep into their reality and replace it with something more fun for the time they visit. However for as many people as fall into this category it is painfully clear they are in the clear minority outnumbered many times over by the remnants of our evolutionary past.

Recently the Haunted Mansion has undergone some major renovations in the outside queue area as well as some additions on the inside. This change has been painful to some, especially the purists who decry this meddling and denounce it as a desecration. In their view they are correct. The house that has stood for hundreds of years, this Dutch Colonial in sunny Florida has welcomed guests for ages—oh wait, the house is only 40 years you say? Well shit. And it only vaguely resembles a true Dutch Colonial? Well double shit. Yeah that’s harsh I know, and these are the people I like!

The reality being replaced by the fantasy is great when everyone buys into it. However Disney World is a business. A cutthroat heartless one scared of bottom line and profit margin shrinkage. Perhaps this was not always so, but it is absolutely true now. That fear drives the company to move with the demands of the people. And THIS is the real tragedy.

Imagine watching a Macbeth performance when suddenly calls for Snooki are shouted from the audience and then, even worse, some of those very audience members shouting run onstage and start touching the sets and poking at the three witches.  Where, do I ask, is something like that even remotely acceptable? Well, at Walt Disney World of course!

That’s the problem I see when viewing the Mansion as what it resembles. It is a fantasy-based reality that is sadly hijacked by the millions ignoring it and walking on through. To them they do not notice the detail of the molding and intricacies of the carved wood. They do not appreciate the way the light from the cobweb filled chandelier hits the wallpaper just so. They do not often see the aging man actually age. They are too busy running through. In part because our management team, feeling pressure from wherever it comes, are compelled to move as many people through an hour as they can.

How then, in this rushed state, can one truly appreciate all there is to appreciate?

The truth is they can’t.  They are forced to run ahead, sit down, ride, cross that attraction off their list and move on. They repeat this all day. Before we feel bad though for the poor guests I must once again point out most of these are the mental equivalent of a cunning chimp (apologies to any chimps reading this).  Disney is slow to change and when they do it is through observed behavior and many hours of intensive research.  This is our society and culture; that is the sad realization I have come in my time working in theme parks. It is actually more accurate to say this is the degraded state of our society and culture. There simply is too much information transferred too fast to too many people very few of whom are equipped or able to process it and therefore properly appreciate it. We have plugged in and tuned out. What the new queue attempts to do is entertain those masses without forcing them to unplug and look up. The irony that I have seen more times than perhaps WDI would like is that very many of those targeted guests are actually annoyed at the queue because it keeps them a few more minutes from the Mansion and therefore delays their feasting on a turkey leg for lunch as they run through another queue. I wonder if these people even know there is a castle in the park?

If the target audience cares little and the purists hate it why then build it in the first place? Good question. The new queue in its design will theoretically alleviate crowd presence in the main walkways of the park. More people in the queue means less people in the street. However that possible boon will be negated if people do as WDI intends and stop and play with the queue elements even possibly creating greater lines and more miserable guests. And if they don’t and choose to bypass the queue or even rush through it, then WDI is defeated as well. This is a no-win scenario, but a necessary one.

You see the real heart of the problem lies in the artificially created queue line and the modern person’s innate rudeness and “me-first” attitude when in a crowd of people. At Disney we are always just a few incidents and 15 minutes away from full mob mentality. Don’t believe me? Be in a queue of a broken down ride for 10 minutes before anyone has been evacuated or compensated for their wait time then tell me where the mentality of the people is? Or their sanity for that matter?

As the lines get longer and the chains forever multiply with an ever increasing number of twists and turns people stop caring about their surroundings. By placing those there Disney has signaled to the guest subconsciously that the goal is the ride and anything that comes between is viewed cursory at best. So like little lab rats we have placed the cheese and then place obstacles in the way. Why do we get angry when they bypass those? If it doesn’t get them closer to that cheese they will lose interest soon.

Like a kid with a new toy at Christmastime this queue will be a hit. But just like that toy it will soon lose its luster. My remedy? Do away with all chains and stanchions and bring back the giant oaks and allow those that want to the ability to use the new playground as that is precisely what the new queue is. Let those that want to run in do so. And don’t rush those that do appreciate art, history, and beauty. A lot of work went into the Mansion and other rides so it’s a damn shame to quickly herd these monkeys right through.
I admit, that’s wishful thinking. Rather than change the trend of myopic vision and goldfish-like memory we contribute to it. Sadly it seems that all the rides and all the queues, unless something drastic changes in society at large, will follow in the Mansion’s footsteps. Next Gen? No thanks!

The activities take place in a recovering world 50 years in the future.  So, much of the technology has fallen into disrepair, and anything we would consider modern luxuries are now mostly just trinkets, though a many items in the hands of crafty individuals find a new life in a re-purposed form.
