'Christians Against the Little Mermaid' Facebook Group Protests Casting of Black Actress; Group Overwhelmed by Supporters of Halle Bailey
Screengrab via Facebook
Earlier this week, Disney released a trailer for the upcoming live action remake of their 1989 animated film "The Little Mermaid." Disney's decision to cast Halle Bailey as Ariel has been a topic of ongoing conversation, with many praising Disney for casting a Black actress in the leading role.
However, some have voiced their concern with the casting, arguing that Disney is pandering to demands for diversity in film and thereby violating the historical accuracy of mermaids, a fictitious species that has appeared in the folklore of a variety of cultures in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
For instance, conservative commentator Matt Walsh expressed sympathy for someone who wrote into his program referring to Bailey's casting as "White erasure."
"If we all agreed that race in films and TV shows, especially fictional stories, don't matter, and we're going to take a kind of 'colorblind' casting approach, and, you know, it doesn't matter as long as the actor is good—if we could all agree on that, then I'd be onboard," Walsh said. "That's basically what it was for many years, what it was back in the '90s."

"But what I cannot abide by is the double standard thing where we say…'Race in casting only matters for certain races and not for others,'" Walsh went on to say.
Arguing for what he believed to be scientific accuracy, Walsh said, "Also, by the way, with 'The Little Mermaid,' can we also just mention that from a scientific perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have someone with darker skin who lives deep in the ocean. I mean, if anything, not only should the little mermaid be pale, she should actually be translucent."
"If you look at deep sea creatures, they're like translucent. They have no kind of pigmentation whatsoever, and they're just like these horrifying—they look like skeletons floating around in the ocean," Walsh continued. "That's what the little mermaid should look like. She should be totally pale and skeletal, where you can see her skull through her face. And that would actually be a version of 'The Little Mermaid' that I would watch."
In addition to comments made by conservative pundits and media figures, entire communities appear to be forming around opposition to Bailey's casting as Ariel. On Facebook, a group called "Christians Against The Little Mermaid (Boycott Halle Bailey)" has formed around advocacy against the actress.
At the time of this article, the group has approximately 9.5 thousand members.
A group admin who goes by the username Wade Wilson has pinned a number of posts to the top of the group's page, which include posts arguing for why Ariel should be white, an image of a digitally altered still from the movie's trailer that "fixed" Ariel by making her white, and a photoshopped image of Ryan Gosling portraying Black Panther.

In the community guidelines for the group, users are told that if "you feel the need to act racist, keep it to a happy medium."

Operations in Afghanistan
Corporal Ivano Violino killed in Afghanistan
It is with immense sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Corporal Ivano Violino from 20 Field Squadron, 36 Engineer Regiment in southern Afghanistan on Monday 17 September 2007.
Field of operation:
Corporal Violino was commanding an FL12 Self-Loading Dump Truck on a routine logistics convoy, moving vital engineering equipment to a Forward Operating Base 19km north east of the town of Gereshk in Helmand province, when his vehicle was caught in an explosion. Despite the best efforts of the Air Medical Emergency Response Team who arrived on the scene shortly after the explosion, Corporal Violino was sadly pronounced dead on arrival at the field hospital at Camp Bastion.
Corporal Ivano Violino
Corporal Ivano Violino, known as "Sean", aged 29, was born in Salford. He joined the Army on 18 January 2002. Having completed combat engineer training at 3 Royal School Military Engineering Regiment and driver training at the Defence School of Transport, Leaconfield, Corporal Violino joined 36 Engineer Regiment as a member of the Combat Support Troop, 50 Headquarters & Support Squadron on 11 February 2003. He was an Army canoeist and regularly represented the regiment at rugby.
Corporal Ivano Violino (All rights reserved.)
In March 2003 Corporal Violino deployed with the Regiment to Kuwait and took part in Operation TELIC. He was deservedly promoted to Lance Corporal in October 2004 and in April 2006 he was cross-posted within 36 Engineer Regiment to Support Troop, 20 Field Squadron.
As part of 20 Field Squadron he deployed to Canada in February 2007 to take part in a demanding construction exercise to upgrade and construct facilities at the British Army Training Unit, Suffield. Thereafter Corporal Violino participated fully in the pre-deployment training for Afghanistan deploying with his Squadron on the 52 Infantry Brigade exercise on Salisbury Plain and taking part in a live firing exercise on Thetford Training Area. Prior to his deployment, Corporal Violino's high professional standards were recognised when he was selected for promotion to Corporal.
Corporal Violino arrived in Afghanistan on 2 September 2007 and is sadly the first fatality from 36 Engineer Regiment. He leaves behind his wife, Katey Anne (known as Katey), and seven-year-old twins from a previous relationship, Ellie and Lewis.
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Wardlaw, Commanding Officer 36 Engineer Regiment, said:
Corporal Violino was an experienced and dedicated junior non commissioned officer, the very epitome of a modern professional soldier, who lived life to the full and gave his all to the Army, his comrades and to his family. Extremely fit, enthusiastic and exceptionally hard working, he drew respect and praise in equal measure: his recent and early selection for promotion to Corporal is testament to the excellent career which lay ahead. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten by all those who had the honour to serve alongside him.
Major Gareth Baker, Officer Commanding 20 Field Squadron, said:
Corporal Violino was a dedicated professional with a strong sense of duty and endless enthusiasm for his chosen career. He was a privilege to command; was always positive, proactive, and utterly reliable in everything he did. He took immense pride in his performance both at work and in his sporting pursuits. An excellent sportsman; he was awarded Army colours for canoeing and was an integral member of the winning Royal Engineers team in the extremely physically demanding Devizes to Westminster canoe race.
Corporal Violino's outstanding performance was recognised by all who worked with him. He made his mark in the Squadron with his endless professional knowledge, high standards and genteel manner. Nothing was too much trouble and he had time for anyone who would benefit from his experience. He regularly took on responsibilities beyond his rank and was always prepared to help others. This fact had been recognised by his early promotion to Lance Corporal and his recent selection for promotion to Corporal ahead of his peers.
I cannot express how deeply shocked all of the Squadron have been by this tragic loss so early in our deployment. Corporal Violino was killed by an indiscriminate explosive device while commanding a key piece of engineer equipment. His mission was to move the equipment as part of a large logistics convoy to ensure it was in the right place at the right time. Our only consolation is that it was typical of his character to volunteer for this mission, fully aware of the risks associated, and he was supporting the Squadron effort in the best way he could. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends who have lost a husband, father and exceptional man.
Warrant Officer Class 2 Pat Rendell, Squadron Sergeant Major 20 Field Squadron, said:
Corporal Ivano Violino was a first class junior non commissioned officer, a larger than life character and an extremely well respected member of the Squadron and Regiment. The word professional sums this man up perfectly, as proved by his recent selection for promotion to Corporal. The enthusiasm with which he conducted himself was infectious and others who worked alongside him have no doubt benefited from his breadth and depth of knowledge. The news of his death came as a great shock to all who knew him. My thoughts go out to all his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by all members of 20 Field Squadron. Missed but not forgotten.
A close friend of Corporal Violino, Lance Corporal Adam Cornelius, 50 Headquarters and Support Squadron, said:
Corporal Violino, or Sean to his friends, was an all round good guy. I had the privilege to know him, his wife Katey and his two young twins Ellie and Lewis. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time of great sadness.
I will remember Sean best for his 'Cheeky Chappy' attitude to life both in and out of work. His death is a massive loss as he was an individual who had so much to give to others.
Lance Corporal Graham Bradley, 20 Field Squadron, a close friend, added:
Sean was an excellent non commissioned officer who was well respected by his blokes. But most of all he was a genuinely good man and friend; he talked constantly about his wife, children and his ambitions for himself and his family.
Sean's wife, Katey, said:
Sean will be sadly missed for his infectious enthusiasm for life and his desire to be everyone's friend. He was popular with everyone he met and was loved by friends and family alike. Sean was very proud to be a member of the Armed Forces, in particular the Royal Engineers, and having been selected for promotion to Corporal had a bright future ahead of him. The world is a poorer place without Sean.
Defence Secretary Des Browne said:
The death of Corporal Violino is profoundly tragic. The Army has lost a highly professional soldier and his death is an immense blow to all who knew him. I hope that his family, friends and comrades will draw comfort from the fact that he died doing a job he clearly excelled at. My thoughts are with all of them at this very sad time.
Please note that although initial official reports referred to him as Lance Corporal, Corporal Violino was promoted to the rank of Corporal shortly before his death, and this page has since been amended to reflect this.

AKB48's Koko ni Ita Koto track list revealed
I posed a few weeks about AKB48's upcoming 1st album. Well, now we have more details on the album. We have the covers, track list, and the album name. The album is entitled Koko ni Ita Koto. Since I don't make entire post about covers I don't have all the covers posted here. But above is my favorite cover of the album. Watanabe Mayu in a lolita dress is just pure win.
And you can check out the track list below.
1. Shoujotachi yo
2. Overtake (Team A)
3. Boku ni Dekiru koto (Team K)
4. Renai Circus (Team B)
5. Kaze no Yukue (Kuramochi, Sashihara, Takahashi, Oshima, Minegishi, Kashiwagi)
6. Wagamama Collection (Oota, Maeda Ami, Komori, Sato S, Watanabe, Matsui J)
7. Ningyo no Vacances (Takajo, Nito, Yokoyama, Kasai, Kitahara, Sato A, Masuda)
8. Kimi to Boku no Kankei (Maeda Atsuko, Itano)
9. IIKAGEN no SUSUME (Katayama, Kojima, Shinoda, Akimoto, Miyazawa, Matsui R)
10. High scool days (Team KKS)
11. Team B Oshi (Team B)
12. Chance no Junban
13. Beginner
14. Ponytail to Shushu
15. Heavy Rotation
16. Koko ni ita koto (AKB48+SKE48+SDN48+NMB48)
I've been wondering how they were going to do the album since they have 48 members. And I was completely expecting their solution. Most of the girls aren't featured prominently on the album. Only about half of the girls are featured in songs that aren't team songs. Which is a little unfair. But that's the breaks in an idol group were popularity determines when you sing.
However, they could have fixed this a bit if the 2 Matsuis from SKE weren't included and if the Kenkyuusei didn't have their own song. Because honestly, I think both are a bit unnecessary.
Song wise I'm looking forward to hearing Renai Cirus the most, because the covers have a circus theme and this is the only song that has anything to do with a circus. XD I also really want to hear Koko ni Ita Kot because all the 48 groups in one song, makes me think of Hello!Project All Stars. And anything similar to that is just amazing.
I'm also looking forward to see how much this album sells. I think there's definitely going to be some record breaking going on.
As always, you can buy the album from CDJapan by clicking the links below.

AKB48 to release first album this April!
Now, it might sound stupid but I was under the impression that AKB48 already released albums. I guess stage albums and their greatest hits albums don't count. Who knew? XD
This is extremely exciting news for AKB48 fans. Personally I am looking forward to hearing the songs. AKB48 always releases good songs, so I can't wait to hear what types of songs are on the album.
But I also have to wonder how the album is going to work. AKB48 is an insanely huge group, so how are they going to decide who sings when? It's not like singles were they can do a janken tournament or hold senbatsu elections. It's also not a stage where they are already in their teams. So, how exactly is this going to work. If they split the songs into already existing teams or sub-groups, how is that different or exciting? I don't know about you but if I wanted to see them in their predictable teams, I'd watch one of their stages. But I'm afraid that, that's what's going to happen. But if AKB48 is going to continue to stay on the top they are going to have to constantly be creative and different. Granted, albums do sell less than albums do. But since it's AKB48 this album is sure to sell a million copies at least. I have extremely high hopes and expectations for this album. I hope I'm not let down.
As always you can purchase the album from CDJapan by clicking the links below. But I suggest you hurry. No doubt that the Limited Edition will sell out quickly.

Dream Morning Musume-DoriMusu 1 track list
Now, as all of you may know already I am insanely happy about the formation of Dream Morning Musume. I'm mostly excited because I get to see my beloved Koha perform again. Well, I got even more excited by Dream Morning Musume recently because a couple of days ago they revealed the track list for their upcoming album. The CD is two disk and is mostly a cover album of the top Morning Musume songs. Here's the track list.
Disk 1:
1. Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari (Dream Morning Musume Ve.r)
2. Morning Coffee (2011 Ver)
3. Roman ~My Dear Boy~
4. Mikan
5. Aozora ga Itsumademo Tsuzuku You na Mirai de Are!
6. Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?
7. SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~
8. Afternoon Coffee (Afternoon Musume)
9. New Song
10. New Song
1. Summer Night Town
2. Daite HOLD ON ME!
3. Memory Seishun no Hikari
4. LOVE Machine
5. Koi no Dance Site
6. Happy Summer Wedding
8. Renai Revolution 21
9. The Peace!
10. Souda! WE'RE ALIVE
I am completely thrilled because they are singing a lot of my favorite Morning Musume songs, and my all time favorite Morning Musume song! Which is Aozora ga Itsumademo Tsuzuku You na Mirai de Are. But I am also super excited for Renai Revolution 21, Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari, Koi no Dance Site, Daite Hold on Me, Love Machine, Summer Night Town, I Wish, and Roman ~My Dear Boy~.
I know a lot of fans have mixed feelings about this group as a whole. How it lessens the current Momusu, and it is a step backwards for the members. But to me this group really is a dream. I can finally see all the member singing and dancing together again. Which is huge for me because I wasn't a fan when most of these girls where in the group. However permanent or short lived this group is, or becomes, I am completely going to enjoy the ride while it happens!
The CD comes in 2 versions which you can buy from CDJapan by clicking the links below.

SUPER GIRLS preview their debut album
With only 11 days until Avex's idol group SUPER GIRLS's debut album, Chouzetsu Shoujo, is released they are previewing all 10/14 tracks from their album on their official site. You can listen to the clips here.
Since I've been following the SUPER GIRLS pretty closely since they announced there debut, I was pretty excited to hear this news. The only down side is the previews are only 29 seconds. Which isn't really enough time to get a feel for the songs. Like the first track, Welcome to ♥ S☆G Show!!, all you can hear is a small clip of music. The rest is some guy introducing the girls in better than I was expecting English. But the music could completely change after that part, so it sucks. But it's only 11 more days to wait.
It's exciting because I remember some of the songs from their Tokyo Idol Festival performance. Most of the songs you can preview sound pretty much all the same. Extremely happy, upbeat, cutesy idol music. It's pretty much on par and sounds the same as every other idol group out there. Which doesn't really bother me because that's the exact type of idol music I love.
Number 10, NIJIIRO Namida (Which translates to rainbow colored tears) seems to be their only slow paced/sad song so far. Which is awesome because I tend to hate slow paced songs. But it really depends on the lyrics, which I don't understand yet.

S/mileage-Odoru yo radio preview
S/mileage will be releasing their first album, Warugakii 1, it in almost 3 weeks. And of course that means we have a radio preview of one of the new songs, Odorou yo. Now it is basically a glorified singles collection, but we do get a few new songs. And should be happy about that. At least it means they have a clean slate for album 2.
The song reminds me of cuter version of Summer Reggae! Rainbow. And of course the song is along the sugary sweet, adorable music S/mileage has been releasing since the first formed.
And has the always even S/mileage line distribution to match. But it would be a little hard to make S/mileage unfair since they only have 4 members. XD
Some of the parts of the song are really great. I love the echo effects on the members solo lines. It kinda sounds like an owl hooting but it's cute. I also really love the "Taisetsu na yoru no KYANDORU. Kinenbi wasurete bu bu bu bu. Soredemo onna no kotowaru. Kako ni shitsugi ni kanseru." part. (By the way, I romanized this by ear, so I have no idea if it's 100% right. It sounds pretty right to me though. XD)

Avex Idol group SUPER GIRLS to make debut
Avex's new idol group, SUPER GIRLS, announced at a recent concert that they will be making their CD debut on December 22nd. They will be releasing a full album entitled Chouzetsu Shoujo.
I have to admit I haven't really been keeping up with this group. Mostly because there hasn't really been anything to keep up with. Aside from their formation, auditions, and live performances, they haven't really been doing much of anything. But since they are finally making their debut I am pretty interested. And the group is singed to Avex, so it will most likely be really popular. So I decided to check them out.
First things first, the girls.
For the most part the girls look really cute. Especially the girl dead center with the pigtails. My god she looks like a mix between Watanabe Mayu and Michishige Sayumi. I'm pretty sure it's 12 year old Ami Takuya. I also really like their overall look. Though it's pretty standard for idols.
And next the music. Since they haven't released a single or PV, I have to go by live performances. Which by the way, are pretty hard to find. But luckily I found their performance at the 2010 Tokyo Idol Festival.
The songs are really cute. But there's not really anything that stands out about them. They pretty much sounds like every other idol group out there. Actually their music sounds a lot like Idoling!!! But I ended up liking each song more than the last.
The solos are also a little bit rough. And no one in the group is an overly amazing singer. But they are idols after all. Bad singing is basically in their job description.
I will most likely be keeping an eye on them from now on. Let's see if their debut album and possible PV are any good.

Tsuji Nozomi to release first album
On November 24th Tsuji Nozomi will be releasing her first album entitled Minna Happy! Mama no Uta. Which even with my limited Japanese I can translate it to Everyone Happy! Mama's Song.
I am extremely happy that Nono will finally be making music again. I just complained recently on my blog that I would love to see Tsuji making music again. And of course as soon as I heard about this the first thing that came to mind was, what kind of music will Tsuji be making? Will she continue to release the W type music she used to or will she start releasing more mature music now that she is a mom? The title of her album kinda makes it seem like she'll be making music geared towards children. Which I hope is not the case.
I also really wish Nono was still part of H!P. I can totally see her touring with S/mileage. Especially since she was just in their PV. Maybe they'll at least perform together sometime.
I also wonder if she'll be releasing a PV to promote the album. Japanese artists hardly ever release PVs for album tracks. And she doesn't have any singles currently, so she'll have to release something to promote the album. Since it's being released in November perhaps she'll release a single right before the album. But it seems to close for that, and she would have announced the single first. I really don't know right now. This new is giving more questions than answers.

It finally arrived!
At around 10 this morning I got the best news, of probably my whole week. And I was beyond excited. This also marks my first JE CD. Hooray! XD Since it's like 5 days after the release date I was super paranoid that I was never going to get it. I've never ordered anything from YesAsia before, so I wasn't really sure how long it usually takes to arrive. I also got paranoid that someone on my street was going to steal it. But it's pretty safe to say that no one in my entire town would want this CD. XD
As soon as it came in my mom and sister were telling me, "Come on. Open it, open it!" Mostly because in the past week they've heard way more about Hey! Say! JUMP then they ever wanted to. Since my family likes to mock me about Japanese music/liking Japanese guys on a daily basis I was a little reluctant to show them the CD.
But before I get to their honest reactions to JUMP, here are some pictures I took of the CD.
The package. Which had so much tape on it like they never wanted you to open it!
The CD. I got the LE version. :] Even though I hate the sailor suits. :/
The back of the CD.
The CD itself.
Back of the booklet. XD
My obi strip that has a random number printed on it.
Back of the obi strip. Pointless picture I know. XD
My favorite pictures of the book. Yuto of course.
And also for some reason I love the beach picture. XD
Since I completely loved my family's honest reaction to my Morning Musume CD, I asked them the same with my HSJ CD. But this time I asked in greater detail. Mostly because they're guys and I wanted to see how ugly or attractive they though each member was. Now my mom was a little nicer with her comments, but my sister was brutally honest. Which made her comments 100 times more hilarious and 100 times more insulting. XD I also want to point out that my mom and sister do not find Asians attractive at all. So try not to take their comments to heart.
Anyway here are their reactions to each member. Since their reactions are based on the cover here's the picture of the cover for reference. Of course they looked at the rest of the booklet, but I had them focus on the cover. Also my mom's comments will be in green my sister's in blue. XD
Yabu Kota: I actually forgot to have my mom say anything about him. XD
I like his hair, and he's the most normal looking.
Inoo Kei: looks like a little girl and needs a hair stylist.
Looks Hispanic and looks like a girl.
Takaki Yuya: Doesn't look attractive with hair on his nose.
Looks like he's Yabu's twin.
Yaotome Hikaru: Looks like a Mongoloid. (D: :O!)
Hideous! What's wrong with his nose? Going through the booklet when my mom got to Hikaru she said, "Ooof! We won't ever talk about him!" And then turned the page. My sister also said he looks like an Asian Jasper. (Or Jackson Rathbone for anyone who doesn't watch Twillight. But honestly Jackson is miles hotter than Hikaru. XD)
Chinen Yuri: Needs a nose job.
Looks like a rabbit turtle.
Yamada Ryosuke: Looks like a chicken.
Looks like a pixie.
Arioka Daiki: Has a hook nose.
His nose is fucked up.
Morimoto Ryutaro: Looks like he has botox lips.
Looks like if Danny Noriega got hit in the face with a shovel and ugly stick. Also has a shocked face like he's got a dick up his ass and likes it. (How eloquently put.)
Nakajima Yuto: Looks like Elmer Fudd.
Looks like a dyke woman. If Ellen Degeneres and an Asian had a love child. My sister immediately broke out laughing when I said he was my favorite. Saying I picked the ugliest one. When she saw his solo picture in the booklet she laughed so much she started tearing up. She also said I have something in my eye, I think it's ugly. (I hate my family. TOT)
Okamoto Keito: Looks like he's wearing a wig, but I could do something with his hair. AKA my mom thinks Keito is hot. I told her he's the ripe age of 16 and she said Oh my god! Lol.
Fat and looks like he has down syndrome.
I then asked them if the had to pick one who is the hottest, who it would be. After my mom said how they're all ugly, she said Yabu maybe, but I guess Daiki. For someone who said they were ugly she picked 3. XD
After my sister said I don't want to pick, I don't find Asians attractive, because of the shape of their face and their features. She ended up picking Ryosuke. Of course. I then laughed and said I knew you'd pick someone underage. Since she's liked Nick Jonas since he was 16 and Taylor Lautner since he was 17, and she's 22. I usually jokingly call her a pedophile because of it. XD
There you have it. Honest reactions by non JUMP fans. I hate that they had to rag on Yuto so much. I literally screamed when my sister started laughing at him. And I screamed at my mom what's wrong with Hikaru! Though my family didn't mock me nearly as much as i thought they would.

Jumping to my dream
In rather exciting news and turn of events for myself, I have successfully preorder the Limited Edition version of Hey! Say! JUMP's first album, JUMP No. 1! And I honestly could not be happier! But because I overanalyze every situation, of course I still have underlined mixed feeling about this. And what could possibly be a downfall to this? The CD itself.
Usually when I hear about my favorite idol group releasing a new album I don't really care what the album songs sound like too much. Well, obviously I want them to be good, since I'd complain a lot if they weren't. What I mean is, I never really care that much if they suck because I never actually get the CDs. So, it's no skin off my bones if they're not up to standards. I usually like to hear a CD before I buy, or have my mom buy it. XD But this is the first CD I'm actually getting the same time it's released in Japan. Sure, I could have taken the safe way out and waited until I heard the songs. But there was no way I was going to settle for Regular edition. And it's not very often I have the opportunity to actually get a Japanese CD that's not several years old. So of course I had to take advantage of that. And I'm really excited to get JUMP's first album but at the same time, I'm a little bit worried that the album is going to be terrible. It's a little too much like Russian roulette for my taste. I'm obviously a JUMP fan, I know what their music is like, and I know what their music will probably sound like in the future. But at the same time there's always that fear that either the songs will be flat out be terrible, or I personally won't care for them. I had the same joy filled panic when 10 My Me first came out, but luckily the album was actually really great. But that's because a Morning Musume CD hasn't disappointed me yet. But JUMP is pretty much a mystery. Sure I like a majority of their B-sides and unreleased songs. But there are still a few I don't like that much like Salsa Ii na Ii ne and Kawaii Kimi no Koto da Mono. And Switch I'm on the fence about.
On YY Jumping Hey! Say! BEST preformed a new song called School Days a few weeks ago. But I'm just hearing about it now, because they just preformed it again. XD
I didn't really like the beginning too much cause it sounds really 70s like. But I started liking it a whole lot more when Daiki started to sing. The song itself isn't bad. The beginning is a little weird, but once it's gets into the chorus it's good. I'd rate it about a 6/10 or 7/10. It's not amazing but it's not terrible. And of course it has to have added Johnny's corniness.
I felt it was important to mention this song, since it's a new song and is obviously going to be on the album.

Hey! Say! JUMP to release first album!
Hey! Say! JUMP fans finally have a reason to rejoice. It was announced yesterday, at a press conference during Hey! Say! JUMP's Concert in Yokohama Arena, that they will release their first album. The album doesn't have a release date as of yet, but it's going to be released sometime this summer.
Yes, this is exciting news indeed for HSJ fans. They've been together since 2007 and are finally releasing their first full length album. It wasn't really a long wait for me, because I've only been a HSJ fan for a little over a year now. But I am still extremely excited. I actually made a very high pitched squealing type noise when I first read about it.
But of course the most important question is what songs are going to be included on the album? Since JUMP has been around for so long without and album they have A LOT of unreleased songs floating around. Not just group songs but practically every JUMP member has a solo song. I think Ryutaro and Inoo are the only ones with out one.
I think JE has to have 2 versions of the CD. A BEST versions with BEST group songs, and BEST group solo songs, and a 7 version with 7 group songs and 7 solo songs. Just like that rumored HSJ album track list that was floating around the internet a while back. I can actually see something like that happening. I mean it makes sense. On one hand they'd made double the money, because any true HSJ fan would buy both, and on the other hand they are overflowing with unreleased songs. Especially since they'll have to add all the previous singles onto the album.
Personally, I want to see SU-RI-RU, Nounai Dance, Endless Dream, and maybe Score be on the tracklist. Then I'd be happy. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

News reports have been circulating for some time now that both liberal and conservative groups were targeted. It was hardly the witch hunt that right-wingers want us to believe.
But beyond that, I, for one, do not want my tax dollars used to subsidize any group — liberal or conservative — that claims it is a social-welfare organization but in actuality engages almost full-time in partisan politics.

Animal Editorials
Community Editorial: Fire Supes From Job of Sheltering Animals
By ROSE TINGLE | July 29, 2014
It's time to take the Orange County Board of Supervisors "off the table" and look elsewhere to do the job of sheltering the homeless animals in Orange County.
Just to give you some prospective, the same year Pearl Harbor was attacked and the United States entered World War II is the same year the current Orange County animal shelter was built……and it has never been replaced.
The reason it has never been replaced is because of the mentality of those responsible for the county shelter, the Orange County Board of Supervisors. They continue to stall and lead the public in circles.
So what is the latest word? During their June 10th meeting the Board of Supervisors directed the Community Resources Director, Steve Franks, to "approach current contract and noncontract cities regarding long term agreements for animal services and animal control with the understanding the county will begin soon (the operative word being soon) planning for a new state of the art animal shelter……"
Before you get too excited, these are almost the identical words stated to the public back in 1997.
I think it's another road block because Franks has previously advised constituents and even shelter staff many times that an agreement with the cities could not be made until county ownership of the Tustin land chosen for a new shelter, previously occupied by the Marine Corp Air Station, was solidified, which it has not. So we are right back where we started. No land, no agreements and you know the 5 million dollars the county promised was set aside to build the new shelter back in 1995?
I'm still trying to obtain clarification from the county as to where it is and how much remains.
Earlier this year, during a meeting with constituents at the Voice of OC Headquarters, Franks agreed to look into shelter satellite locations for North and South County residents but still continue to work on solidifying ownership of the Tustin land for the main shelter. So when the Board of Supervisors during their June 10 meeting also directed Franks to study the feasibility of satellite shelters, constituents felt they had made some progress.
However, more than three months after his promise I contacted Franks and was advised "nothing to report at this time". Oh no… we're not going down that road of empty promises again!
How many more decades are cities which contract with county for animal services willing to wait for the county to build a new shelter, if ever they do? Isn't it clear by now, the Orange County Board of Supervisors care little about the animal shelter, the animals, 35,399 last year, or the citizens who care about them?
When the shelter reported a financial shortfall this last June, the supervisors refused to increase their stingy $249,912 contribution to the shelter's $18 million dollar budget to cover the shortfall. Instead, they requested additional funds from the contract cities and raised user fees.
Another indication of the Supervisors mentality on animals, is the fact when they have been elected up to State legislative positions, history shows they usually vote against animal welfare bills.
So it has never been the money or the land, but the fact that the politicians who have served on the Board of Supervisors don't care about animals, period.
Even though recent science has now proven the consciousness of animals is very close to humans, or that animal sheltering practices have changed over the decades, our county shelter remains a sad example of neglect and what our politicians think about the voiceless and most vulnerable living beings in our society who offer us unconditional love.
Back in 1991, the city officials of Mission Viejo listened to their constituents and had the foresight to build a modern shelter. The city voted to leave the county and to provide their own animal control and shelter and in October of 1992, they dedicated their new no-kill shelter.
It can be done!
Now neighboring cities clamor to contract with them for animal services and so far Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel have done so.
In 2001 the cities of Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton La Habra and Placentia hired management consultants to do a thorough feasibility study for animal services. Their intention was to form a Joint Powers Authority to provide animal care and control services mainly due to their dissatisfaction with the county proposed site for a new shelter being in Tustin.
At that time they estimated 20 to 22 months to plan and construct a new shelter.
But has the county ever provided a timeline as to when a new shelter will be constructed in Tustin? No!
Unfortunately, the cities did not follow through with their plan back then because Anaheim, with the largest population, opted out.
But since then, the population of every city has increased and new housing developments are popping up all over. So far, the greatest increase has been in the cities of Brea, Irvine, Placentia and Tustin. The time is right and the longer cities wait, the higher construction costs will rise. Financing can be done with a Certificate of Participation.
So what do you, my readers, think about the fact Orange County has Fortune 500 Corporations, yachts in Dana Point and Newport Beach Harbors, beautiful multimillion dollar mansions, the largest mall on the west coast, with the highest sales in the United States of over 1.5 billion…but then we have one 73 year old county antiquated animal shelter…just 5 miles from Disneyland?
I realized that not everyone knew about the shelter's condition, so I presented a PowerPoint presentation of photos of the shelter at that June 10 Board of Supervisors meeting. But curiously, it wasn't even mentioned in the minutes of that meeting. So unless you were present or took the time to view the online video of the Board meeting, you would not be aware of it.
So city managers, please listen up.
Many of the people who have been campaigning over the years for a new shelter, have come together and formed the Citizens for Animal Shelter, Orange County.
It's time you came together and listened to these constituents and built convenient shelters of your own or maybe have the county be a partner, but not the leader as Supervisor Nelson has suggested. (With all due respect Mr. Nelson, part of the problem is that there has been no political leadership or support on this issue for 20 years.)
Perhaps there is someone out there, be it an individual or corporation or nonprofit who cares about animals and this county with the resources to help towards building a new animal shelter, better yet, a no-kill shelter with Humane Education facilities for children.
Humane education is a form of character education that encourages empathy and compassion for humans, animals, and the environment, something that can be nurtured in all of us to make this a better society. The county's Public Protection Department already supports a wonderful program, Canines Offering Life Lessons And Rewards (COLLAR) where prison inmates learn responsibility, respect and the rewards of unconditional love. I think our children could also benefit from similar programs in Humane Education.
So I will end this editorial with a plea. If you can help with the issue of building a new animal shelter, please contact me directly at rosetingle@yahoo.com
Correction: An earlier version of this post had an inaccurate figure for the animal shelter's budget. We regret the error.

I seem to say this a lot but Blue City really is a very under rated Brat Pack movie. Judd Nelson plays Billy Turner, a guy who returns to his home town to find out his dad, the mayor of Blue City, has been killed. From there it's about Billy trying to find answers and not being afraid to do anything to get them. Ally Sheedy's character isn't exactly very complex. She plays … [Read more...] about Blue City

At Laser Dental Associates in Sterling Heights, we believe in providing many choices regarding dental treatments. We recognize the importance of making the right decision so we provide as much information as possible during every step of the process. Many of our patients ask about the types of restorative treatments we provide as well as their options for financing. We are happy to explain.
Veneers – We place wafer thin porcelain shells on the front of the teeth. Our beautiful porcelain veneers can treat gaps between teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, slightly crooked teeth, and heavy tooth discoloration.
Dental crowns – We place crowns on teeth to strengthen and protect them. We use porcelain crowns to protect natural teeth after root canal treatments. Porcelain is strong, durable, and stain resistant.
Dental bridges – These restorations include artificial teeth to fill the gaps from missing teeth. Bridges can be ideal for one or a few missing teeth.
Dentures – We can provide solutions for partial to complete tooth loss with our customized dentures. Dentures can restore the ability to chew, speak, and bite properly.
Dental implants – These restorations serve as tooth roots and restore function to the smile. After we place the dental implants, we allow time for the jawbone to heal. Then, we complete the restorations with porcelain crowns. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
All of our tooth restorations can boost your confidence and provide naturally beautiful enhancements to your smile.
We do not want cost to keep you from seeking the appropriate dental treatment. Therefore, we provide affordable care and multiple payment options. We can explore financing options to ensure you receive the care you need. Several finance plans and companies offer various choices to meet the budget and credit limit requirements of patients seeking restorative treatments.
At Laser Dental Associates, we understand the importance of knowing the cost factors and payment options for any dental treatment. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have during a consultation appointment. Schedule yours by calling 586-838-2017 today.


I don't think that it would be exaggerating to say that Vitamin C has become the holy grail of skin care for women of all ages because it has great preventative qualities.
Why? Because Vitamin C is known for its quick effect at brightening the skin. In the longer term, it tightens and revitalises the skin leaving it smooth and hydrated.
Let's not forget that Vitamin C in its best forms stimulates collagen synthesis evens out the skintone and provides radiance to the skin.
Now I have to say that is a woman who loves her face oils having a Vitamin C hydrating face oil is a dream come true… it really is the best of both worlds super moisturising and super brightening.
This oil is beautifully light and easily and quickly absorbed into the skin, it doesn't leave any intense shine just a beautiful glow and is the perfect base for your other serums or your moisturiser. It also has that lovely citrus scent to it.
This oil is good for those with dry dehydrated skin, sensitive skins, or anybody who just needs an extra moisture nourishment boost for their skin.
The core ingredients of this oil are essential fatty acids, skin conditioning plant oils and antioxidants, all of which are meant to work together to help nourish the skin and reinforce the skins lipid barrier, but the formula is also meant to help moisture retention by preventing water loss from the skin's surface, which is a win-win for anybody with dry, dehydrated skin.
Squalene which is as we know a deep hydrating.
Moringa oleifera seed oil which is is rich in Vitamin C and unsaturated fatty acids, it also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities which means it's great for healing minor skin complaints and good at preventing premature ageing.
BV OSC – which is meant to increase collagen synthesis by up to 50%.
Retinyl palmitate this is a major component of palm oil and considered to be a less skin irritating version of retinol and therefore gentler for sensitive skins – it converts into a form of retinol when absorbed into the skin. While it does have proven skin protection antioxidant qualities, as this is a derivative of retinol so it does hold the same risks that retinol has – such as increased sensitivity to the sunlight and it can cause skin reactions such as peeling and redness, which can happen when using any form of retinol.
Argan oil – with its high vitamin E and fatty acid content, argan oil is the ideal product to provide the skin with hydration. It is also is high in linoleic acid, which further helps by reducing inflammation caused by acne while helping to heal skin cells that have been damaged.
You can use this morning and evening before other serums and before your moisturiser and you can actually use this oil as a massage oil too!

This cute little number is decent for the price...runs pretty short, so spanx may be necessary. Also runs small in size.
This "dress" came in a little short for a dress! I'm actually wearing it right now over leggings and it's a fabuolus shirt! I think I actually ordered this in a medium. But like I said it's a fantastic shirt! And I am glad I ordered it! My whole orrder was very special and the people at Rosewholesale know how to pick unique and beautiful clothes!
I'm not like those kind of people who gives only bad ratings, I give what I think I should give and I'm honest.
Although there's still little bit not-well-finished threads, this one looks great on me, and yes, my husband said he felt very well seduced with this one on me, so I am very satisfied with the purchase.


The Poly University Fund-raising was such a success. We were happy to be there to capture this exciting event. Apart from scholars, business tycoons, politicians, we also had GiGi Leung, alumni of PolyU, joining this event. The performance that night was marvellous, Dr. Raymond Chan and Dr. Lunlun Zou were performing Guzheng on the stage and raised quite an amount of fund. There was also an fund-raising auction at the end. It is great to see people working together, helping our tertiary education in Hong Kong.


Mobile responses to Bmp ligands are regulated at multiple levels, both extracellularly and intracellularly. including extraembryonic constructions and mammary glands, therefore making this a useful medical tool. Intro Bmp ligands are buy Lathyrol secreted growth factors that result in service of a highly conserved signaling signal that is definitely utilized throughout development, from the subdivision of cells types during early embryogenesis to the formation of limbs and internal body organs. Legislation of Bmp signaling activity is definitely very challenging and powerful, regarding multiple levels of regulations both in the intracellular and extracellular amounts. Extracellular modulators such as Chordin and Noggin are frequently portrayed by the same or close by cells to antagonize the Bmp indication , , , . Intracellularly, transcriptional replies toward Bmp signaling can end up being modulated by the existence of inhibitory Smad6 and 7 additional, which antagonize the regular function of Smad1, 5 and 8, (Bmp R-Smads), or by changing the availability of these indication transducers within the cell , , , , . Hence, the existence of Bmp ligands or Bmp signaling elements is normally not really an unequivocal signal of Bmp activity. A common strategy utilized to detect the spatial localization of Bmp activity is normally to perform immunostaining on embryos or tissue with antibodies that particularly acknowledge the phosphorylated forms of Smad1, 5 and 8 (P-Smad1/5/8). Nevertheless, this strategy DPD1 can end up being tiresome and period eating, and provides the disadvantage of not really realizing the transcriptional response of a cell. As a result, an extra device to measure the transcriptional response of cells toward Bmp ligands would end up being helpful in the Bmp biology field. We created a basic readout program to examine the existence of Bmp signaling in both mouse embryonic control (uses) cells, and a transgenic mouse series, that detects the transcriptional result mediated by a Bmp response component (BRE) we characterized previously , . Bmp ligands presenting to their receptors result in account activation of the Bmp R-Smads in the cytoplasm. Nevertheless, how Bmp R-Smads recognize focus on genetics for regulations continues to be badly understood  particularly. Prior research demonstrated that Smads 1 and 5 acknowledge brief, particular GC-rich DNA series components (GCCG-like motifs) , , , , ; and Smad4 binds the extremely conserved SBE (Smad holding component, and discovered a BRE as a regulatory series found in numerous genes, including known Bmp focuses on such as the and genes, and the gene , . The zinc little finger Schnurri (Shn) protein can take action as a co-factor with Bmp R-Smads to situation the BRE in a particular conformation, and elicit buy Lathyrol a transcriptional response buy Lathyrol , . The proposed regulatory buy Lathyrol mechanism entails Smad1 and Smad4 complexing with Shn (Smad1/4-Shn) at the BRE, which requires a five nucleotide (nt) spacer separating the Smad binding sites, suggesting that the binding conformation of these factors is definitely important for BRE-mediated modulation . Our Bmp indication mice use the BRE from the regulatory sequence, which is made up of Smad1 and Smad4 binding sites (and media reporter gene was used to reveal areas of BRE-mediated activity of BMP ligands, and this transgene is definitely hereafter referred to as BRE-gal. In this study, we use our BRE-gal indication mice to characterize the subset of Bmp activity that is definitely modulated by this regulatory element. Since this motif is definitely found in numerous genes of many organisms, we hypothesized that the BRE-gal media reporter will respond to a subset of Bmp responding cells where BRE-mediated transcriptional response is definitely practical. Our appearance analysis of the BRE-gal mouse reveals that many sites of Bmp activity use the BRE to control the specific and dynamic tasks of this growth element during development, therefore making this a useful medical tool. Curiously, we also find robust expression of the BRE-gal reporter in extraembryonic structures and mammary glands, suggesting that during vertebrate evolution BRE-mediated Bmp responses were co-opted to regulate development of these structures. Results and Discussion Generation and response of mouse ES cells harboring BRE reporter genes Previously we demonstrated that the frog BRE functions in and zebrafish , , . We therefore tested whether the same BRE responds to Bmp buy Lathyrol signaling in mES cells. The BRE(7X)-luc construct harbors seven.

An Olympic bronze medal-winning figure skater has died after being stabbed in Kazakhstan, according to reports. According to Russian media, Kazakh skater Denis Ten, 25, lost three liters of blood after being stabbed in an incident involving two robbers. The incident took place in the city of Almaty, after Ten reportedly got into a fight with two men who were trying to steal mirrors from car. Bystanders called an ambulance for the skater after discovering him unconscious. He was taken to a hospital where he died after surgery. The New York Times reports Ten won the silver medal at the world championships in 2013, then a bronze medal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He had hoped to perform well in the most recent Olympic games in South Korea, but injuries hampered his abilities and he placed 27th. "The way his blade touches the ice and the way he moves his body through space on the ice is highly individual," choreographer Lori Nichol said in 2015. "And his passion is not just throwaway passion. It's this really deep, profound passion, and when he lets it out, I've been reduced to tears in practice sometimes because, oh my God, I get blown away. I've worked at a high level and never seen anyone like it."The official Olympics Twitter account put out a statement from International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach: "Denis Ten was a great athlete and a great ambassador for his sport. A warm personality and a charming man. Such a tragedy to lose him at such a young age."Retired American figure skater and Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton tweeted: "My heart is heavy this morning as I learned of the loss of Denis Ten. May we all lift his family & friends in prayer and remember the legacy he leaves in figure skating."Canadian figure skater and commentator Kurt Browning tweeted: "With the loss of Denis Ten the skating world lost one of our future leaders. Having recently worked with him, I was in awe of his vision and love for the world. He had infinite resources to offer and so willing to share."

I am tired of living this life.

I feel like I cannot control my own thoughts and feelings.

I have nobody that I really care about anymore.

My parents have long felt out of reach.

James is too busy for me.

Amy is over.

Maxine is probably not a healthy choice, if only for your addiction.

My course correction can't overcome this. There is no way to get out of this downward arc and it's heading towards a nosedive.

And I haven't ever thought of trying to fix the damn thing.

I am a high functioning addict to porn.

But my life is slipping, and stalling.

And I don't want to be here when it starts falling.

So.
Pull together all of your courage
Pull together all of your being.
let's fight this and fix it.
Or we are done for

Let's do this.

We consider an ornamental sign language of first order where principles of sieve displacement, of asymmetric building blocks as a base of ornament symmetry, color exchangeability and side equivalence principles work. Generic aspects of sieve and a genesis of ornamental pattern and ornament signs in it are discussed. Hemiolia principle for ornamental genesis is introduced. The discoverer of most of these principles were artist Modris Tenisons [4, 5, 6, 7 (refs. 23, 24), 8 (ref. 65)]. Here we apply a systematical research using simplest mathematical arguments. We come to conclusions that mathematical argument in arising ornament is of much more significance than simply symmetries in it as in an image. We are after to inquire how ornament arises from global aspects intertwined with these local. We raise an argument of sign's origin from code rather from image, and its eventual impact on research of ornamental patterns, and on research of human prehension of sign and its connection with consciousness.

Augmented Google route map with mileage flags numbered and stats legend.
For my Los Angeles stair-walking friends, please note the super-high density of stairs, an average of 6 per mile, meaning that on average you don't even have to walk 2/10ths of the mile to reach the next stairway! We don't have anything like that in LA County, and even Silver Lake at best has a density of between 2 and 3 stairways per mile. You will also notice that the route is not a perfect through walk, since there are a small number of turnarounds, of necessity to keep the route shorter and the stairways mostly taken in the up direction. The photos below are but a small sampling of the hundreds I shot along the route, view-able in this publicly available Queen Anne Loop Facebook album.
I drove early in the AM from my hotel by Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, having breakfast along the way, to the public parking structure on 3rd Ave N, between Mercer and Roy, that's a short distance north of the Space Needle. The drive was uneventful, and I was raring to go on a stair-walk. The Queen Anne Loop didn't disappoint! From the corner of Roy and 3rd, located at the southernmost point on the route, and to the east of center, I started my Runkeeper route track, and began my trek northward up the hill to the first stairway pair on 3rd Ave, climbing 120 conventional concrete steps, with great views of the Space Needle. Here's a photo pair I shot the day before, in good afternoon light.
For the most part, the stairways in the early portion of the route were similar to the first, concrete with one or two hand rails. All were useful pedestrian transportation routes allowing direct access to steep hillside/hilltop narrow streets, not directly reachable by car. The region is primarily a large bedroom community of narrow/hilly grid streets, and stairways when the hills become too steep for road links. Also noteworthy are the super-tall radio towers, like the one use by KING-FM, which can be seen in this photo of another stairway on 3rd Ave N, located above the stairway-pair in the previous photo.
Continuing westward, one of the stairways, 1st Ave W, at just over a mile into the route, had an interesting configuration, with a low left and high right side sidewalk because of a cross slope. The stairway leading from this dead-end street to the street above had a common upper stairway, and a second stairway to bring the left lower sidewalk up to the lever of the upper right side sidewalk. Here is a photo I shot of this 87 step, stairway pair in the dim and hazy morning light.
Stairway pair on 1st Ave W. Note the low left side and high right side sidewalks.
After another pleasant mile of zig-zagging westward up stairways and down streets, I arrived at Kerry Park, a wonderful observation point for viewing downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, the waterfront, and Mt Rainier. This is my friend Lotus Lou's favorite observation spot in all of Seattle, and having visited this lovely park, I can see why she feels this way! The lighting in the early part of the day was less than optimal.
Kerry Park – Note the long morning shadows.
Continuing past the two mile mark and more stairs up-roads down, walking through quiet older residential neighborhoods, I rounded the bend at the west side of the region to head northward. On the next upward climb, I reached a very tall and long concrete retaining wall, the Wilcox Wall, that has a rather ornate pair of substantial 72 step stairways connecting the upper and lower parallel 8th Ave/8th Place roadways that it separates. It is impressive engineering, nestles in the tree covered slopes of the region.
The Wilcox Wall – Note the symmetric pair of 72 step stairways leading up from either side.
After more up stairs and down hills on residential streets, and loving the the fact that I don't even have to walk 2/10ths of a mile between stairways, and after passing the 5 mile mark, I have come to the end of the blue colored line 1st segment of the loop at 15th Ave W and W Boston St. After a short walk north on 15th, I reached an interesting progression of 5 stairways, totaling 256 up-steps on Wheeler St. The first stairway was at the end of a dead-end section of Wheeler, and I was greeted by a wooden bear statue! I couldn't tell if it was placed on the stump or carved from the original tree, though I suspect the former!
The lower Wheeler St stairway and the bear!
Beyond the lower stairway after crossing a median walkway, I came upon a brand new stairway with a "Bridging the Gap" placard on the third step riser. Bridging the Gap is the name of legislation that provided funding for transportation projects in Seattle, including pedestrian facilities like this new stairway. From the Seattle All Stairs map, it would appear that this new 24 step concrete stairway replaced a smaller worn wooden stairway.
At this point in the walk, I was really enjoying the almost constant stairways and great vistas from the hilltops. It was an ideal morning for a stair-walk, cool and reasonably clear, with no rain (more on that later on).
After the Wheeler St climb, I descended a small stairway, then after passing the 6 mile mark, climbed another with over 100 steps on Raye St, then descended Armour St, and walked along 15th Ave west and found a stairway going slightly back and up toward some apartments. So I climbed it, and discovered that it connected upward to an alley that runs between 14th and 15th. It does appear to be a private stairway, but would still make a good addition to a stair-walk. Here are three shots of the stairway in sequence as I climbed it from bottom to top. The 4th image is taken facing the top entrance to the stairway, looking back the way I came.
After this find, I did another mile of up/down stairway traverses and came upon an interesting raised sidewalk what was served by 5 stairways leading up from street level on 10th Place West. This photo shows 3 of the 5 stairways I walked in alternating sequence at the top, and on the bottom shows the view from the elevated sidewalk, closer to the second stairway, which is left of center in the top photo of the pair (note the silver car).

The artwork above is by prolific Seattle muralist, Ryan "Henry" Ward.
There was another stairway on Fulton, just to the right of the above panorama image, that makes the southward bend to follow the shore of Lake Union, in a SE direction. This means I am now heading toward the large stairways to come in the last part of the walk.
The last 5 miles of the walk builds up to a series of long westward climbs along Galer St, then descending to the finish. Before reaching those climbs, the route heads southward, first in the hills, then along the waterfront, to reach Galer St. After climbing the Fulton stairway, the route heads south to the upper segment of divided Raye St, which took me down a stairway to the lower segment of Raye that ends at Aurora. At this point Raye St becomes a stairway pair with a middle walkway, that serves as a pedestrian under-crossing of Aurora, which is a fast, barrier divided highway, without pedestrian crossings.
Galer St Pedestrian Bridge as seen from the north. Note the background construction cranes.
Above that, and to the left is a series of terrace stairways taking one up to Dexter street. This next photo composite gives a better view of the terrace stairways, which when combined with the lower stairway gives a total of 105 up-steps for this pedestrian over-crossing. The third image in the composite shows the view of the bridge walkway, looking east toward Lake Union. In the middle image you can see the same radio towers that were a prominent feature in the early part of the walk. The tall tower in the center is the 784 feet high KING-FM tower seen in an earlier image in this blog.
The 179 Up-Step Galer St Pedestrian Over-Crossing of Aurora Ave N.
After I left the tower, I walked a series of 4 down-stairways, a rest my legs really appreciated, as I had already climbed over 4,100 up-steps to this point in the walk. The territory was much like the beginning, residential with narrow streets, some not having sidewalks. There was one essential difference, the storm clouds were coalescing, so the sky was quickly transitioning from blue to gray, and the temperature was also dropping.
That was the end of a fantastic stair-walking day. I have never before climbed 108 stairways, and even more remarkably in a scant 15.6 miles of walking, though the 4,121 total up steps in that distance was a bit lower than the toughest up/steps per mile route I do in Silver Lake: 264 up-steps/mile on the Queen Anne Loop vs 336 up-steps per mile on the Mean 19. The weather was perfect, and the route worked out even better than I had hoped when composing it. Next time I travel to Seattle, I will be torn between wanting to do this route again, and exploring other areas of the City. That's not a bad place to be! If any of you from Seattle do this route, please let me know how you liked it, how it might be improved, and how it might compare to other similar distance, or even longer routes in other regions of Seattle!
PS: It rained two and one half hours after I finished the walk.

Maker anticipated as much as 25% boost in mileage.
BMW enters the premium diesel market with the 740Ld xDrive coming this spring.
Taking the lead from its rival Audi, BMW will add a new diesel version of its flagship 7-Series sedan, the new 740Ld xDrive set to make its debut next month at the Chicago Auto Show.
German makers have been at the forefront when it comes to re-introducing Americans to diesel power and BMW already has a range of oil-burners in its line-up, including the 328d and 328d xDrive Sedans, the 328d xDrive Sports Wagon, the 535d and 535d xDrive Sedans and X5 xDrive35d Sports Activity Vehicle. But this is the first time that it has offered a diesel for the big 7-Series.
Audi introduced a diesel version of its A8 for the 2014 model-year and it remains to be seen if Mercedes-Benz might follow suit with the new S-Class. German automakers consider themselves the leaders in diesel technology and the sales have increased modestly over the past two years as new models have come to the American market.
Demand for diesel could be hobbled by the fact that the fuel costs more than gasoline in the U.S. and diesel engines require expensive pollution controls that add considerable cost to the price of a vehicle. But analysts say that diesels do have the advantage of offering significantly better performance than comparably priced hybrids, such as the BMW ActiveHybrid 7.
The 740Ld, which will retail for $83,425 — including a $925 destination and handling charge — will feature BMW's 3-liter TwinPower Turbo diesel engine in the long-wheelbase 7 Series body and will include xDrive, BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system. It arrives in showrooms this coming Spring.
The turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 BMW Advanced Diesel engine features a single turbocharger with variable vane turbine technology to improve low-end torque. It's mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and produces 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque – which will accelerate the big sedan from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
Standard features like Driving Dynamics Control with Eco Pro mode and Auto Start/Stop will help the driver reduce fuel consumption in real-world driving situations, according to BMW.
The maker hasn't released specific fuel economy numbers but is suggesting a 25% to 30% improvement over the numbers returned by the 3.0-liter TwinPower inline-six now offered in the 7-Series which gets 19 mpg City, 29 Highway. That could mean as much as 36 mpg on the open road.
That would put it somewhere in line with 24/36 rating of the Audi A8 diesel – which takes almost a half-second longer to get from 0 to 60. The Audi's price comes in about $30 under the new BMW 740Ld, a gap not likely to make much of a difference to premium luxury buyers.
In fact, one might ask why high-line motorists would even care about saving fuel. In Europe, diesel fuel is notably cheaper than gas in many markets and diesel vehicles often benefit from reduced taxes. In the U.S., the only advantage is higher mileage – though the added muscle and the bragging rights that go along with a "clean diesel" seem to be drawing in buyers who don't like the trade-offs of a hybrid.
Don't be surprised if we see a strong response to the new BMW 740Ld xDrive trigger Mercedes to bring a diesel back in the S-Class line over the next couple years.

With the refinement in clean Diesels it would be odd for U.S. consumers to not embrass them as the rest of the world has done for decades. Of course price gouging by the oil industry Cabal and absurd U.S. auto emissions for Diesels – the strictess in the world, doesn't necessarily help people in the U.S. to adopt better technology.
