時差１４時間で、夕方に乗って寝て、同じ日の夕方に着いたんだなぁ変なかんじ

ガイドさんと合流してホテルまで３０分くらいだったかな。インターコンチネンタルトロントセンター泊。
CNタワーの前にちょこっと見えるのがインターコンチ。

全米女子オープンは雷による中断続きで、進行状況がメチャクチャだが、大山志保が暫定8位タイと健闘している。今日2日目は、早朝に第1ラウンドの残り5ホールをプレーし、その後、第2ラウンドへ突入。しかし、17番グリーンでパットを始めようとしたところでサスペンデッドを伝えるホーンが鳴った。

とりあえず近くで待機してくれと大会側から伝えられた大山。近くにたまたまいたギャラリーが連れていた幼い3人の子供を見て「かわいい！」と寄っていった。サインボールをあげたりして遊んでいたら、その様子を日本の新聞社のカメラマンがパチリ。その瞬間、その場にいた日本のカメラマンが全員、ものすごい勢いで大山と子供を取り囲み、バシャバシャバシャ！！

撮影するのが仕事だから、責めるつもりは毛頭ないが、その撮影シーンを眺めていたら、なんかこれって変じゃないかな、と思い始めた。近くを通りかかった別のギャラリーいわく、「どこかの有名人の子供たちなの？」そんな疑問を抱くのも当然だ。総勢10人近いカメラマンが一斉にシャッターを切っているのだから、単に選手を撮っているというより、3人の子供たちを撮っていると感じるだろう。あるいは、有名な3人の子供と遊ぶ選手の絵？

（たのしそう。でも、この子供たち、だれ？）

私の相棒カメラマンのＪＪ田辺も、その一陣にいたのだが、途中でニタニタ笑いながら一陣から出てきた。「なんか違いますよね？」そう、なんか違う。でも、どうして撮ったの？「みんなが撮っているからですかねえ。みんなも、みんなが撮っているから撮ったんですよねえ」

（大山からもらったグローブをつける。うれしそう）

うーん、わかる部分もあり、頷けない部分もある。みんなが撮るものを自分も漏らさず撮りたいと思うのは当然のこと。しかし、みんなが撮るから自分も撮らなければと思うだけでは、自主性がなさすぎる。だが、みんなが知っていることを知ろうとしないのかと私が問われたら、やっぱりみんなが知っていることは自分も知ろうとするだろう。だから、この場にいたカメラマンを私が責めることなんてできないのだが、やっぱり、これって何か変だ。

きっと、こういうことだろう。みんなが撮るものは撮った上で、みんなが撮らないものを撮ればいい。みんなが知っていることは知った上で、みんなが知らないことを知る。それがプロというもの……だと思うのだが……。あまりにも変則スケジュールの取材が続き、頭が朦朧としてきた。

（撮影会もひと段落して、リラックス）

2007年06月28日

明日から全米女子オープンが開幕する。練習日の今日、宮里のラウンドについてロープ内を歩いていたら、日本人とおぼしき50代ぐらいの女性からいきなり声をかけられた。「あのー、すみません、アナタはアイ・ミヤザトのお母さんですか？」えっ、私がお母さん？ちょっとびっくりして「いえいえ、私は取材のために来ています」と答えると、「ああ、そうですか。私たちは沖縄県人会なんです」。沖縄から、このアメリカのノースカロライナまで応援にいらした？「いえいえ、この近く（ノースカロライナ州）のフェイエットビルという街に沖縄出身者の県人会があるんです」。何人ぐらい会員がいらっしゃる？「70名ぐらいいますよ」

まず驚いたのは、この70名という大所帯だ。はっきり言って、ここはアメリカ国内でもかなりの田舎。そんなところに日本人が何十名も所属する会があると聞いただけでもビックリなのに、沖縄出身者だけで70名というのだから、こりゃすごいことだ。

しかし、本当に驚かされたのは、ここから先。女性の言葉は放っておいてもどんどん続く。「それでね、私たちは沖縄出身の日本人がどんな活躍をしているのかなと思ってインターネットで検索したんです。そうしたら、アイ・ミヤザトって名前が出てきて、そのアイ・ミヤザトがこの大会に出るってことがわかって、それで私たち応援に駆けつけたんですよ。あらっ、ところでアナタはアイ・ミヤザトのお姉さんでしたっけ？」

「お母さん？お姉さん？」は、かなりずっこけたが、話を要約すると、彼女たちは検索をするまでは宮里のことを知らなかったということになる。日本ではスーパースター的存在、誰もが知る存在である宮里だが、アメリカの隅々までその名が伝わっているわけではなく、それは言葉を変えれば、世界はそれほど広いということだ。

日本で大流行する何々ブームというものは、日本の中では誰もが知るところとなるのだが、それが世界にまで波及するわけではない。その事実は、こんなふうに「あの藍ちゃん」を知らない日本人たちの生の声を聞かなければ実感しにくいかもしれないが、世界の壁というものは、いろんな意味でそれほど厚いのだ。

だからと言って、日本人が世界の壁を破れないわけでは決してない。米ツアーに挑む宮里は、だからこそアメリカで必死に戦っているのだし、そこで勝利を飾り、勝利を重ねていけば、アイ・ミヤザトの名は自ずと世界に知れ渡る。石川遼も日本では「王子」の名までつけられている存在だが、海外では今は「無名」で、そりゃ当たり前。だが、石川君が今後、プロの世界でも勝利を重ね、アメリカそして世界でも勝利を重ねれば、そのとき初めて世界が認めるプリンスになる。

だが、それには想像以上の時間がかかる。世界の壁は想像以上に厚いのだから。
そんな日が来るまで長い目で応援してあげるのが、本当のファンなのだと思う。

空海ゆかりの寺、世界遺産「東寺」にやってきた。
日が陰りゆくなか、ライトアップされた五重塔が綺麗。

京都駅から徒歩20分、ついに『慈恩弘国』に入国する時がやってきた。先週に続いて久しぶりの金曜営業ということでもちろん予約済み。お店の前にはすでにガンオタ風の2人が入国を待ち望んでた。

いざ、入国。空いてるように見えたけど、いつもより混んでるらしく、敬礼による出迎えどころかランバラルすら現れへんかった。捕虜フラウ・ボゥが現れて、

〝3名でご予約の方ですね～〟

あれ、普通やん。フラウ・ボゥのコスプレをのぞいて…。
少しがっかり。

〝ソロモン席へどうぞ～〟

カウンター横の 4人座敷を「ソロモン席」というらしい。テーブルの中には、いろんなガンダム小物が並んでる。でも、ガンダム知らんし全然分かれへん…。何しに来たん？

天井のエアコン吹き出し口直下で涼しい。

お箸入れは自家製。赤色紙に、ジオン軍のスタンプが押してある。

テーブル横には、ソロモン星の模型が飾ってある。最終的に連邦軍が制覇した星？知識はゼロに近い。

ジオン公国の全権を掌握し事実上の最高指導者として君臨する IQ240の天才、ギレン・ザビ大将の模型も横に並ぶ。

ガンオタとギレン総帥。細かく説明してくれても興味あれへんし頭には入らへん。

メニューを眺める。あれっ、全てのメニューが\100-から\300-強値上げされてる。これも原油高のせい？今時お好み焼き1枚 \1,000-超えるなんて考えられへん。これも雰囲気代やろか？フラウ・ボゥの待遇もかなりいいらしいし。捕虜やのに報酬あり？

ソロモン席にはファミコンがある。ゲームは「ガチャポン戦士」1本のみ。長い待ち時間の間、ふたりは熱戦を繰り広げる。おもろい？

あれっ、目の錯覚、はたまた残像か？ランバラル大尉にフラウ・ボゥがふたり見える。フラウ・ボゥって双子やったっけ？

With a dramatic modern design and a central location in the contested city, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance is supposed to bring together people from a variety of viewpoints, religions, and ethnicities. But the project's Jerusalem site is on and adjacent to the ancient Muslim cemetery of Mamilla, located just to the west of the ancient city's walls. Mentioned in 11th century C.E.

Green Romance: Think Eco-Healthy for Valentine's Day

The scene is set for romance…perfume, candles, flowers, chocolate, and champagne. But wait…some of these products might contain toxic chemicals! Remember that what goes on your body also goes in your body and into your bloodstream, so be sure to choose products without a lot of added chemicals. A spritz of most department store perfumes, for example, can contain over 100 different synthetic chemicals to make the scent, plus things like phthalates, and parabens. These are endocrine disrupters, that mess with your hormones. When shopping for perfume, look for those made from pure organic essential oils. They're safe, non-toxic and more subtle than a synthetic perfume…your perfume won't precede you when you enter a room and it won't linger after you've gone!

Bereshungarikum » Blog Archive » Hobbies: Sharing a passion

If sharing a hobby is akin to sharing love, then participants in a National Hobby Day celebration at Frayser-Raleigh Senior Center on Jan. 26 generously displayed their personal natures.

A mutual love of model trains, for example, keeps Carolyn Speidel, 77, of Raleigh, and grandson Dennis Clay of Bartlett, 27 on Feb. 12, especially close. She became fascinated with trains in 1954 while on a trip from New Jersey to Pensacola, Fla., to see her husband-to-be. Later, as her hobby took hold, her now-late husband, William Speidel, went along for the ride, helping her set up and break down her displays. But it was grandson Dennis who inherited the Lionel locomotive gene.

As a young teenager, from Thanksgiving to New Years he would lay out the trains and tracks on our living room and dining room floors. … Elaborate layouts. … Elevations and tunnels.

   I grew up in a household where there weren't a lot of candies and sweet stuff allowed. Part of this was because I was a "metal mouth" and nothing is worse for a mouth full of very expensive braces than a great big 50 cent bar of Bonomo's Turkish Taffy... mmmm Bonomo's. It's back by the way, in case you hadn't heard. Yes, they are making Bonomo's again.
   Good news Ma. I can now wreck my teeth again! We weren't allowed soda either, so I never developed a Coke habit, (yeah that's a cheap shot) or a 7Up habit, or actually any sort of taste for sugary soft drinks. My mom and dad have always been into healthy eating. Except for one teensy weensy little habit. My mom's Mallowmar stash.

why does my left leg hurt? the right one does

A hike and the wildlife

From the moment that we headed out the door onto our trails this morning, K just wanted to slide and wriggle in the snow. You can also see her "bad" leg in the photo below. The radiation really did a number on her fur but the radiation burn is gradually healing. Her radiation treatment was almost 5 weeks ago.
K was slightly limping today which, of course, sent me into a tizzy of worrying about whether her tumors are stirring or if she had injured the weakened bone. She still seemed happy but I think that her leg was hurting when she walked or ran. She's holding it funny, resting it on a snow pile, in the photo below but looks normal otherwise.
It was a gray day, except for a few flashes of sunshine. I took some photos when the sun rained down on us.
K chose one stick and carried it for much of our hike. Sticks are in short supply right now because most of them are buried under a deep layer of snow.

how to end the starburst bracelets

Not So Plain Art: Starburst Bracelet

Hello,

I thought it would be a great idea to do a starburst bracelet since we just finished Halloween and you probably managed to get some starbursts.

To do this bracelet you will need to go threw your bag of candy and find approximately 31 starbursts. You will need an odd number of wrappers including the one you will end it with (or else it will not work). For me I went searching through my bag of candy and only found about 4. anna gave me some of her wrappers and the same with my sister and i only had about 10. My mom was so nice that we went to save on foods and bought a giant bag of starbursts, my sister, me and her friend ate basically the whole bag in half an hour.

how many islands in the bay of islands

Moa, Duke of Marlborough, Cape Reinga and Bay of Islands « back of the ferry

By pure chance kiwisinoz is visiting all of the capital cities that NZ has had since 1840.  Russell, a small town located in the Bay of Islands was NZ's capital in 1840. The European population comprised of deserting seamen, runaway convicts from Australia, and grog sellers. The town became lawless and was dubbed the "Hell Hole off the Pacific".

Eventually Maori warriors felled Russell which resulted in the many fleeing the town, allowing it to be rebuilt in a more respectable manner.

Our 10 minute ferry ride from Paihia to Russell led us to a very historical location in Russell.  This correspondent can confirm that the Paihia to Russell ferry doesn't cater for anyone to drink a bottle of amber liquid and photograph it.

There are many aspects of Russell that are steeped in history. One of the most significant is that it is home to the watering hole that can proudly claim the status as NZ's first licensed hotel in NZ (this was granted in 1827). This is The Duke of Marlborough Hotel. Today there are no Maori warriors or lawless European settlers, instead a very quaint setting with a live (chilled out) band on the foreshore directly opposite, entertaining the many tourists.

what are gas taxes used for?

Nontribal owners want more gas-tax equity in state - Business - The Olympian

A group representing nontribal station owners says the tribes get an unfair tax break that lets them beat the competition on price while state law lacks teeth to ensure the tribes spend their gains on road improvements.

Under compacts with 16 tribes, Washington gives them a 75 percent discount from state gas taxes. If tribes were to pay the full amount, the state would reap an additional $30 million a year to fix highways.

This week, opponents of the fuel-tax compacts are turning up the heat, saying the state is letting money slip away at the same time Gov. Chris Gregoire seeks $3.6 billion to preserve aging ferries and highways by raising gasoline and vehicle fees.

The Puyallup Tribe, owner of the Emerald Queen Casino, replies it has spent more than $25 million on transportation and police since 2007, including joint projects with Tacoma. Across from its roomy new Tahoma Market, with 24 gas pumps, there are barricades and signs marking a $2.3 million road project, and the tribe says it has paid for a lane widening along Pacific Highway.

top 50 all time grossing movies

A Quick Scrape of Top Grossing Films from boxofficemojo.com « Consistently Infrequent

 

Introduction

I was looking at a list of the top grossing films of all time (available from boxofficemojo.com) and was wondering what kind of graphs I would come up with if I had that kind of data. I still don't know what kind of graphs I'd construct other than a simple barplot but figured I'd at least get the basics done and then if I feel motivated enough I could revisit this in the future.

Objective

Scrape the information available on  R and make a simple barplot.

Solution

This is probably one of the easier scraping challenges. The function readHTMLTable() from the XML package does all the hard work. We just point the url of the page we're interested in and feed it into the function. The function then pulls out all tables on the webpage as a list of data.frames. We then choose which data.frame we want. Here's a single wrapper function:

How much education for the nation?

With more and more OECD countries sending over half of their young people to university, I should like to to offer public policy-makers the following challenge: are over half of the jobs in your economy graduate-level?

Where will the future bricklayers, shop assistants, hairdressers, bus drivers, postmen, barmen, chambermaids, street-sweepers,welders, security guards, car-parking attendants, ticket collectors, etc. come from in a country with imploding demographics?

It costs too much, it's usually loaded with sugar (often hidden in plain sight on the ingredients list), and it's packaged in tall, skinny boxes that seem bigger than they really are.

Worse, thanks to stealth price hikes, those tall, skinny boxes contain less and less cereal each year. Which reminds me of the famous joke from Annie Hall:"Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." "Yeah, I know. And such small portions!"

Which is why news that General Mills has been re-engineering some of their breakfast cereals is both timely and fascinating. A Wall Street Journal article* recently chronicled General Mills' efforts to reduce the sugar in Lucky Charms, a cereal I practically grew up on.

What's more interesting, however, are the problems that pop up when you try to tweak the ingredients list of a manufactured food. For example, when you cut a cereal's sugar content, it doesn't float in milk. It gets soggy too quickly and loses that satisfying crunch. And, hey, if that soggy, unsatisfying crunch isn't sweet enough, kids won't eat your cereal at all. Which means the parents of those kids won't buy your cereal.

BILLY RAY CYRUS - COULD'VE BEEN ME LYRICS

I hear you just got married

Took a month long honeymoon

And you were all smiles at the wedding

And you cried when you kissed the groom

 

I got no invitation

I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me

But I see the whole thing in slow motion

Every night as I try to sleep

 

My buddy John said you looked real pretty

And you acted like you were in love

He said the preacher asked for objections

And he thought about standing up

 

I told John he must've been crazy

'Cause you were just about to say I do

Get a jump on the laziness of the weekend bringing vintage stereograms into the twenty-first century (at least into the late nineties) by turning them into animated GIFs. The New York Public Library recently uploaded more than 40,000 stereograms from their archives, and they've set up a web application that allows users to create two-frame animations out of them.

River Rhythm « Welcome to the Kick-Off

Music unites people. We all relate to music in different ways because we all come at it from our own angles – shaped by our own perspectives – but the beauty is that it's a universal medium for connecting so many different people. I could go on about it, but Kofi Annan took the clumsy, vague words our of my mouth and forged them into something far more articulate, direct and beautiful:

Music both shapes and reflects society. Dancers follow its beat; protesters use it to find their voice. It can promote ideals — like peace and solidarity — but it can also prepare armies for battle. It is part of almost every important personal and collective moment.

SOP Day:3 « Rty14's Blog

It was our third day to go to the sarneli center for street children. We had the same rituals as usual by going to the church first to pray then entering the center then after fix the groupings. I had my hands full on that day because a lot of our members were absent. I had to teach four students in  different grade levels.

So I first taught the two kids one of them was Salem. Salem did not really understand the math lesson compared to his other friends. To solve this problem I taught the 3 other kids who understood their own math lessons more and after I now taught the group as a whole. Salem really felt lazy on that day to study. My solution was to teach in a form of a game. This made everyone participate more and learn the lesson faster than I expected.

Skyuka Road » Random Connections

Tryon Mountain looms large over travelers on I-26. I knew there was a road to the top somewhere, and a bit of research revealed it to be Skyuka Mountain Road. I decided to take one of my days of spring break to go exploring and see if I could find it. That, I did, and the day turned out to be a trek through the North Carolina mountains, through Tryon, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, and Asheville.

I started out with a straightforward drive to Tryon – no stops at Campbell Covered Bridge or any of the other interesting points along the way. When I got to Tryon I noticed an antiquarian bookstore on the main street, and had to pull in. There were lots of theological texts, so I wondered if there were any hymnals. The proprietor soon came out, and I discovered that this is the same bookstore that I used to visit down at Stony Point near Greenwood.

Remembering Bill Foster, Longtime Pendulum Publisher

BRADENTON, Florida Sure it was 35 degrees and blustery outside, but longtime East Greenwich residents and former Pendulum owners Bill and Jane Foster were singing Floridas praises recently even amid the Sunshine States longest cold snap in 40 years. After running East Greenwichs weekly from 1964 to 1988 Bill handled the publishers duties while his wife Jane tended to the more mundane, and critical, task of making sure advertisers paid up the pair retired, full-time, to this small city on Floridas Gulf Coast about a decade ago.

Now in their mid-80s, theyve traded the snow and steps of their second East Greenwich home for a ground-level unit in a well-groomed development surrounded by palm trees and other lush vegetation. And its only 100 feet from the swimming pool, Bill notes. The new Floridian in him boasts that the place has seven pools, although the flinty New Englander that remains at the heart of the man is quick to fess up that you can only swim in one at a time. Theres a birdbath right outside their patio door, and the couple is as happy as pelicans.

The Fosters spend their days visiting and dining with friends, including some who have made the move south from Rhode Island. They keep in touch with family via e-mail, and tool around town in a Buick. Theyve traded in Bills famous wood-paneled Ford Country Squire publisher-mobile that showed up at important East Greenwich gatherings for many years. Jane, a star vocalist at East Greenwichs First Baptist Church, continues her singing at her Florida church.
