![]() Washburn renders Genji’s brief, allusive line thus: “I saw a spider spinning away when I got here, but I never believed that spiders could foretell a lover’s visit - until now!” Genji’s snippy taunt is lost as these translators pad it out to make sense of it what we gain in comprehension we lose in style. The spider surely told you to expect him, and you didn’t tell me,” and then he appends a footnote explaining the reference. Waley simply ignored the allusion, while Seidensticker expands on the original: “This is a fine thing. In Tyler’s version, Genji reprimands his lover by saying, “I am sure the spider’s behavior was perfectly clear,” alluding to a proverbial poem about a spider foretelling a lover’s visit. For example, in Chapter 7 the teenage Genji is caught in a comically compromising situation: He arrives for a tryst with a woman in her late 50s on the same night as one of his friends and rivals. Some ignore them, some work them into the text, others explain them in a footnote. ![]() ![]() Other characters search for other surrogates, hilariously so in the case of a gentleman who, repulsed by a lady, steals her cat and lavishes all his unrequited love on it, even imagining that they were lovers in a previous lifetime.Īll of this is rendered in a style rich in idioms and poetic allusions, which have always been the greatest challenge to Murasaki’s translators. After abducting her, he molds her into his ideal woman. Knowing he can’t marry her (which doesn’t prevent him from sneaking in and impregnating her one night), he sleeps his way through a troupe of other women of all ages until he spots a 10-year-old girl who likewise resembles his mother. After her death, the emperor finds and marries a young woman who resembles her, and when Genji is old enough, he too falls for her. In Genji’s case, he searches for a replacement for the mother who died when he was young, one of the emperor’s many wives. In this story of an aristocratic lady-killer, Lady Murasaki explores the concept of erotic transference: the tendency to fall for someone who resembles a lost or unattainable loved one. This new version by Dennis Washburn, a professor at Dartmouth, falls somewhere between Seidensticker’s reader-friendly translation and Tyler’s more stringently literal one, resulting in a fluid, elegant rendition. It was only 14 years ago that Royall Tyler published his superb translation, more faithful to the original than Edward Seidensticker’s of 1976, which was considerably more faithful than Arthur Waley’s published 50 years earlier. It is questionable, however, whether a new English translation is needed. It is not the world’s first novel, as sometimes claimed, but it’s the greatest novel written before the modern era, and greater than most written since. It is a tragicomedy of manners, comical in spots, sorrowful in others, written by a brilliant widow in her 30s who knew the wayward heart as deeply as she knew the royal court at which she served. Like the prose of Joyce or Nabokov, the style is a rich texture of literary allusion, symbolism and imagery, and like few novels before theirs, it deals candidly with such shocking matters as rape, incest and pedophilia. Written almost exactly 1,000 years ago, it rivals the classic novels of the West in artfulness and psychological depth. There is no question that “ The Tale of Genji” is a world-class masterpiece of fiction. ![]() More details as we get them, but keep an eye on the convention. The engine has been design with DirectX 11 support and allows for augmenting motion capture data (as seen in the recent Final Fantasy XV tech demo), it has the most advanced AI out of any previous game engine. In the session, we hope to find out if the engine’s original video was an actual glimpse of Final Fantasy XV, and if the hardware needed to operate the engine is truly as next-gen as it’s graphics. The Luminous Engine can simulate liquids and cloth as well as realtime reflections, it can also render photo-real images in realtime. It would probably be easier to use the tools they have with Unreal or Luminous than to create a modified fork of XIV's engine for an offline action game. XIV uses its own engine, derived from Crystal Tools and Luminous. The Luminous engine will be the future of Square Enix, so we can’t wait to see the engine’s specifications and what it’s actually capable of creating. They used Unreal for Kingdom Hearts 3 and VII Remake (and presumably VII Rebirth), and Luminous for XV and Forespoken.

Here’s more information about Square Enix’s convention schedule: “You’ve seen the video, now find out first-hand from Julien Merceon (Worldwide Director of Technology) what the Luminous engine will be capable of and what it will bring to future Square Enix games.” In a blog post at Square Enix, the company has announced that we’ll be seeing it at the Japan expo 2012 (July 5th-8th), and the Luminos engine will not only be displayed, but the future of how the company plans to use the engine will be disclosed as well.Īs for gaming titles, the company plans to display Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution, and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts at the convention by hosting a special Q&A session with “Shinji Hashimoto, (Executive Co-Producer) and Yoko Shimomura (series composer).”īut perhaps most importantly, the release announces that we’ll be seeing the Luminous engine during the third day of the convention and discussing it with Julian Merceon, Square Enix’s Worldwide Director of Technology: The 8 key items in Steve Lansdown's BBC radio interview.

No matter how much Mossberg raved about an Apple product, and recommended people buy it, when Mossberg pointed out its drawbacks (which he did for every product), it seemed to annoy Jobs. But “then he’d complain about the column,” Mossberg said. “I’m not calling to complain about the column,” Jobs would say, according to Mossberg. Mossberg said Jobs also used to call him after he had reviewed Apple products. It turns out, this was a characteristic both tech moguls had in common: neither one of them took criticism very well, even minor critiques, according to the stories Mossberg told about them. “I’m sick and tired of Steve being the tech guy and I’m the business guy.” “I’m just a business guy?” Gates said, according to Mossberg. Sure enough, the morning after the column published, Mossberg got a phone call from Gates. Mossberg wrote a column that he described as an “obituary for Apple.” In it, he said that Gates had outfoxed Jobs, and that even though “Steve made boulder leaps in tech, Bill was a better business guy.” For instance, there was a point in the late 1990s, right before Jobs came back to lead Apple, that Apple was 90 days away from bankruptcy and was in talks to sell itself to Sun Microsystems. And along the way, he received many a post-column personal phone call from Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.Ĭostolo teased out several stories about Jobs and Gates from Mossberg onstage Wednesday. Over the years, he reviewed many a PC and device from Apple and from Microsoft. Mossberg grew to fame and fortune through his Personal Tech column for The Wall Street Journal, where he made technology understandable for the average person. Mossberg was interviewed by former improv comic and former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo (currently CEO of his stealth startup Chorus), who was hilarious. In his last hurrah, he appeared on stage at Vox Media’s Code Conference on Wednesday and recounted stories about Steve Job and Bill Gates. Iconic tech journalist Walt Mossberg is about to retire. ![]() When he came back he told me not to be sad, he'd bring someone else back soon.Ĭhris Carrazco did research on the circumstances and found some questionable facts: He cut her open, and after he took everything out of her, he left with her and I never saw her again. He started to hurt her then.Ī Sometimes he would come up to me: Do you hear her? Do you hear the woman's voice? I would cry and tell him to leave her alone, but he wouldn't listen.Ī After a few days he killed her. Q Let the record note that Kyle Brody has identified the defendant, Rustin Parr.Ī He tied her up in the corner. Could you point out to me the man who did that to Emily? Could you point him out to me? Q Now where was that, in the room, what part of the room?Ī (Assenting) Inside the room by the front door.Ī He told me to stand in the corner and face the wall. Here is the statement Kyle Brody made in court:Ĭourtroom Transcript - Kyle Brody Testimony The story goes that one day he walked into a store and told the people he was 'finished', which after people went to his house and found the bodies of the seven children, and Kyle Brody on the front porch, alive and well. She ordered Parr to do strange thins like sleeping in the basement for a week, and later began telling him to kidnap and kill children. He began to hear the woman in his head, first at night, and later also in waking hours. In the late 1930's Parr noticed he began hearing strange noises in the night and seeing a woman in a black dress in the woods, who would disappear when he would run after her. He build a house in the woods of the Black Hills to have a quiet life and get away from it all. ![]() Parr was abused by his uncle when he was young and his parents died when he was 9. Rustin Parr lived on a mountain near Burkitsville as a hermit who had a good reputation among the townspeople. Chris Carrazco, who examinated the life of Rustin Parr, thinks Kyle Brody involvement in the murders of the seven children is bigger than everybody thinks. Parr was convicted and hanged later that year.īut it's not Rustin Parr who makes this story interesting, but Kyle Brody, the boy he released. Parr confessed to the crimes in May of 1941, claiming he was doing what an old lady ghost told him. He kidnapped eight children total and brutally murdered seven of them, letting Kyle Brody go. In late 1940, a hermit named Rustin Parr began abducting children from Burkittsville. When they returned to the site with help, the bodies had vanished without a trace. A second search party found the group disemboweled at Coffin Rock. A search party was dispatched, but while Robin later returned, the search party didn't. Distressed, Robin escaped through a small window. She took Robin into a house, where the woman locked her in basement and said she'd return later. In 1886, eight-year-old Robin Weaver alledgedly followed a woman who's feet didn't touch the ground into a house the woods. Townspeople noted the possible supernatural characteristics of the Treacle disappearance and were quick to blame the death on the Blair Witch. Her body was never found, and for thirteen days afterward, the creek became contaminated with oily bundles of sticks, rendering the water useless. Eleven eye-witnesses claimed to have seen a ghostly white hand reach up and pull her into the shallow water. During the picnic, ten-year-old Eileen Treacle wandered off towards Tappy East Creek and drowned. In 1825, a year after the town was rediscovered and founded as Burkittsville, the villagers held the first annual Wheat Harvest Picnic. The residents of Blair fear she's cursed the area and abandon the town, vowing never to utter the name "Elly Kedward" again. She was presumed dead from exposure, but the next year, all of her accusers have vanished. ![]() In the winter of 1785, Elly Kedward was banished from the town of Blair after several local children accuse her of performing witchcraft. I'm not saying the story is true, but i thought it was interesting enough to share with you. Some may find it a long read, but i think its worth reading since if digs deeper in the story. I gathered some information from all over the web concerning the legend. Thats why this topic is not about the story as we know it all, but the background story which makes alot more sense. ![]() Don't go hard on me, i know the story about the three students dissapearing in the woods of Maryland is fake and made up by the directors.

Mu-gak asks if Jae-hee knows Baek-kyung, and probes for information about him since he’s on the suspect list. Mu-gak offers to let Jae-hee see Ma-ri once before the autopsy, and Jae-hee tells him that she never mentioned having any family so he’ll be handling the funeral. Mu-gak goes to the restaurant to talk to Jae-hee, who admits to being extremely distracted and looks like he’s been crying. He takes a call from someone named Kwon (I’m assuming Chef Jae-hee), who tells him about the news from the police station, and Baek-kyung says he’ll meet him in a few minutes. Yeom is smart and figures she was only reported dead and is actually under witness protection, but Oh holds tight to his story.Ĭreepy doctor Chun Baek-kyung reads an old article from when Cho-rim’s parents were found dead, and we see that he’s bought a ticket to the Frog Troupe’s show. Oh reminds her that there was no evidence the daughter witnessed anything, and that anyway, she died when she was hit by the car that night. Yeom pleads for him to tell her where the only surviving witness is… ah, so she doesn’t know that he’s taken her in as his daughter. They know each other from previous Barcode Killer investigations, and Yeom tells Oh about the murderer’s latest victim, but he reminds her that he’s no longer a cop - he just works security now. ![]() Aw, these two are so cute.ĭetective Oh runs into Lieutenant Yeom at the station, but neither of them seem happy to see each other. She brings him his favorite steamed buns, but that only sparks more interrogation about why she was in that part of town, and she blames the Frog Troupe. But there’s no bite in his bark, and Cho-rim seems to know it by the way she aegyos him. When Cho-rim gets home, her (adopted) father is on his way out, but he takes time to remind Cho-rim that she only has seven months left to give acting a try, then she promised to quit. ![]() Yeom asks permission to include one more person on her team, and handpicks Mu-gak, to everyone’s surprise (including Mu-gak). Detective Kang motions over his three lackeys, but when the police chief orders Lieutenant Yeom to head the team, the three hilariously sidle over to stand next to her instead. The Chief of Police comes to inspect the scene, and orders a special investigation team to be created for this case. She asks Mu-gak how he knew the girl was in the river, but he just silently looks over towards Cho-rim (which the sharp-eyed Yeom catches). They call Lieutenant Yeom to the scene, and she curses as she confirms that Ma-ri has a barcode etched into her wrist - it’s definitely the Barcode Killer again. Mu-gak calls to say he’s found the missing girl, so they all head to the riverbank where her car is being pulled from the water.Īs Cho-rim watches from a distance, the detectives open the car door to find Ma-ri’s body in the car, as they feared. He’s enjoying that too much for it to be entirely accidental, hee. Out in the mountains, the chief (whose name is Detective Kang) directs his men as they search by using a bullhorn to project his voice, hilariously aiming it right at his detectives’ ears. ![]() Cho-rim looks again, and points to the river. He takes the pieces of the glasses, and redirects her attention back to Ma-ri’s scent trail. Her loud reaction irritates him and he reminds her that he just saved her life. For the second time he holds her close a bit longer than necessary, and they both seem intensely aware of the other before they pull apart.Īs Mu-gak steps backwards nervously, he trods on Cho-rim’s sunglasses where she dropped them breaking them clean in half. She follows the scent and gets too lose to the drop-off, losing her footing, and Mu-gak quickly swings her away from the edge and into his arms. Standing at the site of the accident, Cho-rim stares as she watched the missing girl Ma-ri’s signature scent ride from the ground behind Mu-gak, wafting off the road and toward the river below. ![]() But there’s still a killer on the loose, and the search for the truth unearths more questions than answers as danger looms closer and closer. Rather than be put off by each other’s oddities, their confessions create a unique sort of kinship, even as they both start to realize their growing attraction. Our duo grows closer as they work on Mu-gak’s case and Cho-rim’s audition, and they both finally come clean about how their past traumas have affected them. 111 ApJanuGirl Who Sees Smells: Episode 3 by LollyPip ![]() * Achievements, some easy, some hard, can you get them all? * Play Spades online with your friends and everyone else!
