Pitchfork Presents: Ryan Hemsworth, KELELA, Traxman, The Range, Jahiliyya Fields, Huerco S., Mas Ysa, with DJs Richard Pretty and J-Cush
285 Kent

Brooklyn, NY, 11211-4119
This event is all ages
Ryan Hemsworth is a young producer from Canada with a remarkably productive output in the past two years and a totally unique approach to hip hop and R&B production.
With an early background as a singer and guitarist, he quickly weaned off rock into hip hop and more software oriented music, diving whole-heartedly into drum loops and samples. In 2011, his first release No Plans was featured on SPIN magazine's Top 20 R&B albums of 2011 and he quickly followed up with A Way and Kitsch Genius, which got him increasingly noticed for a singular sound attracting a number of music critics and artists from across the country. He soon began cultivating relationships online and became a go-to producer for MCs like Main Attrakionz, Shady Blaze, and Deniro Farrar, helping craft a sound sitting somewhere between chill wave and trap rap. Hyperbolic Chamber Music, a collaborative project with NYC clothing brand Mishka, saw him at the helm of a 22-minute posse cut featuring 26 different rapper from across America, and his remix treatment of Grimes, Frank Ocean, and Danny Brown have kept his name spreading in the past year.
With his first label release, the Last Words EP released through Wedidit Collective, Ryan Hemsworth continues his sonic collages and explorations, digging even deeper into unexplored genres and delivering his finest work to date.
The one to watch - bridging the gap between RnB and Electronic Beats, Kelela is reaching Lit City Rave to celebrate the release of her brand new Fade to Mind album, 'Cut 4 Me'. Kelela's debut, is the culmination of a long journey, exploring the space between loss and freedom, and the process of letting go as a catalyst for growth. Concerned equally with confronting hard realities as celebrating romance, with confronting both the ecstatic highs and painful lows of relationships, this deeply personal body of work merges the popular and the unconventional, establishing Kelela's unique vision for songwriting and production. Situated in a universe where pop is necessarily challenging, Kelela's songs are the result of her passion for the synergy between the vocalist, producer, and DJ. The album features production work from NGUZUNGUZU, Kingdom, DJ NA, Bok Bok, Jam City, Girl Unit and more. Expect a hugely moving live set!
Cornelius Ferguson, better known as Traxman, spent the '90s and '00s packing Chicago's dancefloors with fast-paced house, juke, and footwork. He's taken his show all over the world the last few years, thanks in part to his insane 2012 Planet Mu release, Da Mind of Traxman, and in part to his insane live show, which find him flipping samples of classic R&B tunes, Chicago house tracks, and psychedelic jazz in equal measure, at lightning speed. Da Mind of Traxman's sequel, the aptly-named Da Mind of Traxman vol. 2, is coming out soon also on Planet Mu, and it draws from an even broader sonic palette than its predecessor, incorporating elements of all sorts of dance music genres, pushing footwork into the future, into the atmosphere.
The Range
The Range is James Hinton, 24, of Providence, RI. He's been making music since he was 13, first on a little Fostex machine recording looped drums and synthesizer. At Brown University, while studying Physics, he started making electronic music full time under the alias Stegosaurus, producing two albums under that moniker, 'Quill' and 'Cower' in 2009 and 2010 respectively. In the mid 2010 he started making music as The Range, drawing from more percussive footwork sounds. An album 'The Big Dip' followed for Astro Nautico (co-run by Obey City and Kuhn) in 2011, and then two EPs 'Seneca' and 'disk' for Donky Pitch. His next album 'Nonfiction' will be released by Donky Pitch on October 14th 2013
He has received support on BBC Radio 1 from Benji B, frequently playing shows across the US, and completed remixes for artists like Howse (Tri Angle), Kuhn (Civil Music) & Alphabets Heaven (King Deluxe). In August 2013 he played The Boiler Room US, which will be followed by a string of UK and European dates in October (his first overseas shows) to co-incide with the album release.
Huerco S.
Brian Leeds produces electronic music under the name Huerco S. His debut album for Software is titled Colonial Patterns. On Colonial Patterns, Leeds treats his Kansas City region as a universe worthy of its own electronic music.
To that end, Leeds deconstructs Midwestern techno and house tropes. The pieces are corrugated, rough, and decompositional. Working cheaply, Leeds conscientiously uses low-end software, synths and cassettes so as to subvert the gloss of so much urban dance music, giving tracks an impressionistic, emotive feel. The result is uniquely Midwestern: there is an expansiveness to each piece that suits the open space and the storied past of its inhabitants.
A native of Eastern Kansas, Brian Leeds first turned to music and visual art as a teenager. He attended the University of Kansas where he studied installation art and ceramics before leaving school to focus exclusively on sound design and music production. Recent releases include "No Jack," off the EP for Wicked Bass, and the twenty-minute synth exploration "Untitled" which Leeds cut in collaboration with Exael for Software's favorite Opal Tapes.
Colonial Patterns shares Jon Hassell's hybridized experiments in percussive ambience, as well as William Basinski's strobing melancholia. When tracks subtly veer into house/techno territories, they mirror the no frills dance mechanics of Midwest figureheads Ron Hardy, Omar S and Theo Parrish.
Mas Ysa, the project of nomadic composer Thomas Arsenault, combines love songs, unabashed ecstatic pop, prayer, field recordings and techno into triumphant, danceable, melancholy folk music that pummels the heart rather than dances around it.
Born in Montreal with formative years spent in San Paolo at hard-techno raves, Arsenault's life is one of human and musical experience rather than eye-searing laptop screens. After studying composition at Oberlin Conservatory, where he was part of the Ohio-based Shinkoyo art collective, Arsenault headed west for San Francisco to assist kindred-spirit cult artist Warner Jepson.
Eventually, Arsenault landed on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, occupying a sprawling loft complex connected to the underground venues 285 Kent and Glasslands. There, he built a studio that yielded records by everyone from Cass McCombs to Laurel Halo, getting out of bed in the dead of night to write songs and record sonic fragments. During the day, Arsenault explored the other side of modern composition by collaborating with Rashaun Mitchell of the storied Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
Born as a live experience in early 2012, Mas Ysa hoists this voracious music history and crashes it head-on with blunt emotional trauma. Early shows vacillated between dancefloor catharsis and inner pain, emphasizing both ritualistic transcendence and the universal bond of folk music.
And with no public songs, marketing, Internet hype or silent brand backing, Mas Ysa was quickly tapped to tour with art-rock icons Deerhunter in between opening big shows for everyone from Purity Ring and Delorean to RZA.
In early 2013, Arsenault made perhaps his most important move in the face of an eviction notice from the City Of New York: He packed-up his gear – including two TR-909s, a homemade analog chaos-weaver and a Kurzweil K2000 borrowed from Oberlin and never returned – and drove north, eventually landing at a house for rent in Woodstock. No stranger to musical mysticism, the secluded compound (with requisite bear encounters) serves as the backdrop for Mas Ysa's initial recordings.
Encompassing bangers, ballads and textured experimental arcs, the debut Mas Ysa EP marks the arrival of a unique cvoice. "Why," a futuristic arms-to-the-sky "Thunder Road," is motorik shock therapy, while "Shame" is a gigantic crescendo of emotional despair and aural exultation. "Mountain Cave" is serene, windy desolation, and the stark forestry of wide-eyed songwriters like Will Oldham is channeled on "Years."
Mas Ysa's debut EP released in January 2014 via Downtown Records. Full-length to follow!

Because the Castrip® process operates best when making thin products at high casting speeds, exciting opportunities are now being created for a new sheet steel product category. The potential exists for Ultra-thin Cast Strip (UCS) products to be used in many applications, substituting for both hot rolled and cold rolled steel sheet. As shown in Figure 1, each Castrip product has unique characteristics, which translate to a host of potential end uses. For example, "as-cast" product can be used to produce structural tubing and shelving among other things, while metallic/organic coated Castrip product possesses characteristics that make it useful for the production of roofing, walling, fencing, appliances and other finished products.
As indicated in Figure 2, the initial target markets for strip cast products include steel fabrication, cold mill feedstock, painted purlins, structural decking and light gauge steel framing, as well as tubular goods and structural applications such as racking. As strip casting development continues and market expectations increase, product opportunities will expand. Projected future markets for Castrip products include HVAC, office furniture, appliances, food packaging and exposed automotive panels. The potential also exists for additional market opportunities unknown and unexplored at this time.
While construction of the Crawfordsville plant was being completed, the Nucor sales team was already busy formulating a plan for communicating the benefits of Castrip UCS (Ultra-thin Cast Strip) products to the sheet steel market. (The UCS acronym is used to distinguish the material from hot rolled and cold rolled sheet.) They began speaking to customers in June 2001, and early response from the market was positive, showing that many are eager and excited to begin exploring the opportunities offered by the Castrip product.
Since mid 2002 the Nucor sales team has introduced Castrip products to the market in a controlled fashion, keeping a close eye on product performance. Initially, the plant cast sheet at 1.7 to 1.8 mm (0.067 to 0.071") thickness and the product has been utilized as feedstock for further cold rolling at Crawfordsville. Initially, all of the production was onsumed by Nucor divisions and used primarily in construction applications. Since late 2002, UCS products have been utilized in applications such as structural decking, purlins, steel studs, rollformed panels, tubing, et., both by Nucor subsidiaties and outside customers.
As development progresses, Nucor plans to bring a high-strength UCS product to the market, which should be particularly appropriate for end uses such as racking systems. Additionaly the company hopes to be in a position to produce medium- and high-carbon grades, as well as 409 stainless for automotive applications. The final goal will be to cast strip products very thin (<1.2 mm) then hot roll directly to very light guages (0.7 to 0.9 mm).

Perfect for gluten free people!
the only bread i eat
I like being skinny and breads arent always a skinny persons friend - but UDIS is your friend!!! Its not loaded with sugar like every other bread out there - i strongly recommend switching of you use other brands with added sugar.
They serve this in the NYU dining halls. The taste is a bit bland and disappointing, but I suppose you have to make some sacrifices for gluten free!
One of the best tasting, and best texture for G- Free bread I've tried. What I don't like is how skimpy the sizing of the bread is. Plus, it's rather expensive for a tiny loaf. I can barely make a decent sandwich for myself with such small squares! Although I must say, it's perfect for the little ones.
I am not gluten free but still eat this bread often because I really like Udi's products. They are my favorite for gluten free and natural with bread.
I am not gluten free but still eat this bread often because I really like Udi's products. They are my favorite for gluten free and natural with bread.
There is nothing better for a gluten free diet. My best friend uses it on a daily basis and she finds it tasty and healthy
I've tried quite a few and this is the best. Others are too gummy and tasteless. Udi's tastes good.
Getting used to the price of gluten free Udis bread is much worse than getting used to eating it! I love it best toasted! I was worried when I made the decision to become gluten free, whether or not I would be able to switch to gluten free bread. Udis is the best I've tried, to date and consider it my favorite!
Not bad for gluten free. Best toasted.
I like this bread with the exception that it does fall apart a little when you bite into it. I like it toasted better.

Question - For the multiple schedule scanning setup. How does Spiceworks handle the scenario of one scan being in progress and another one being scheduled to start? For example say the default scanning for a certain range is set at 11:30 and runs for over an hour. If a custom scan for a different range is supposed to start at 12:00 does it just not happen or does it auto-start after the first scan is complete?

Pardon the newbie question. Regarding the caveat against using in a production environment.. does this mean I shouldn't use this in a "live" environment? Or that I shouldn't replace my production installation of spiceworks?
I was planning on beta testing 4.5 on a Windows Vista Ultimate workstation in the same network that I already have 4.1 running on Windows 2003 server. Is this dangerous? (I can't imagine why because everything that I've read or learned myself about spiceworks suggests it is a passive agent in regard to monitored devices).
Thank you for any clarification.
KevinRitchey, there is no reason why you cannot have several instances of Spiceworks running in your environment for testing pursposes. I have my "live" Spiceworks production install running 24/7 and all the while I am testing the various Beta releases as they are available on my desktop ;)

Just downloaded and installing on vista 64 bit hope all goes well.
I have not yet reinstalled.
I have two VMs set up for spiceworks...one for prod and one for test.
The prod one is working perfectly. That is the most current, non-beta version.
The beta version is on the test VM. It worked the first day I installed it. I let it sit for about a week. In this time I believe the VM was restarted and now when I try to log in, I get a windows crash error. And it closes the app every time

A few people have written in to ask why I chose this moment to reverse my sentiment on SIGA. Was there some trigger?
No, there wasn't a trigger. In fact, the absense of triggers was my biggest problem with this investment.
For years, SIGA faced a series of nightmarish adversities and adversaries - all unrelated to their perfectly safe and effective cure for the scariest of bio-terror threats. It was clearly an investment to sit on until things worked themselves out. So I grew accustomed, over the years, to stoically waiting.
As I learned from my experience running Chowhound (which slogged for years), it can be devilishly hard, amid a long grind, to find an apt "let go" point. Stoic slogging is a steady state that, by definition, lacks dramatic triggers. This makes it surprisingly easy to ride a stock all the way down to zero. It doesn't feel like a plummet; it feels like a lobster feels in a very gradually heated pot of water. At first you feel sleepy, then, before you know it, you're cooked.
Grinds never offer clear break-away points. You just hope you'll notice when you reach a time where you no longer ought to stick around. It's tough because that moment passes silently!
In SIGA's case, I freshly considered the cumulative effects of all the factors, and I fully digested the import of the November quarterly report where they announced the dismantling of R&D and their intention to be acquired. And, most importantly, it dawned on me that, so long as FDA remained stalled (making foreign orders unlikely), the long-promised follow-up contract was absolutely everything.
Distracted by other factors, I hadn't fully realized how significant it was that, two years later, this contract had failed to materialize. In light of the political forces at work, I registered it as fatal. With this in mind, it makes sense for SIGA to have put itself on the selling block.
If there had been obvious interest by big pharma in the two months since, it might have been worth holding on for the acquisition boost. But I've heard nada. And I can no longer justify holding on. For the first time, I can see a possibility that the stock could eventually grind down to zero. And as disappointed as I am at $3.70 (with a stock that climbed above $15 a couple years ago), it's a helluva lot better than zero. Hence my exit.

EN:Rhineland-Palatinate Cycle Route
Aus Wikitest
The Rhineland-Palatinate Cycle Route is a circular route of approx. 800 kilometres. Apart from individual sections that are still under construction, the route uses existing trails. When the path of the route was selected – in addition to quality criteria such as track surface, tourist attractions and signposting – proximity to the regional border was taken into consideration, which resulted in the shape of the route reflecting the outline of Rhineland-Palatinate. The Rhineland-Palatinate Cycle Route runs almost entirely along themed routes, i. e. routes of particular interest to tourists.

How Italy May Yet Save Europe… Really
The European sovereign debt crisis reached its apex when global financial markets began considering the possibility that a large euro zone economy — Italy, Spain, or both — could become another Greece, resulting in the dissolution of the single currency. By November 2011, the spread between the yields of 10-year Italian and German bonds was so great that Italy had to pay interest rates well above 7 percent on its long-term debt, a clearly unsustainable level. This marked a political turning point. But while Italy was once seen as a primary cause of the euro crisis, it could now be poised to be part of the solution.
As Italy witnessed the demise of the Silvio Berlusconi government — the result of pressure from international markets, European partners, and the Italian media — it was Italian President Giorgio Napolitano who orchestrated what has been called one of the most complex political transfers in Italian postwar history. Napolitano spent months laying the groundwork for an alternate government and consulted with Italian politicians, European leaders, and U.S. officials. The current cabinet is now one of the most technocratic in Europe and enjoys one of the largest parliamentary majorities in Italian history.
In a short time, the new government under Mario Monti has introduced drastic economic policy changes and has had both houses of the legislature approve them. As a consequence, Italy, which already had one of the lowest public sector deficits, one of the largest primary surpluses, and one of the lowest levels of overall debt (combining public, household, and corporate debt) in Europe, is one of the few Western countries likely to achieve a balanced budget by 2013 and preserve it over the near future. This is due, above all, to recent reforms to its pension system, which have transformed it into one of the more sustainable in Europe. Even with moderate 3 percent nominal growth and 5 percent yields on bonds, a primary surplus at the level forecast for 2012 would, in a decade, substantially erode Italy's enormous public debt.
Nonetheless, anemic economic growth has been the primary problem facing Italy over the last decade. Although the Monti government began its tenure by balancing the budget through cuts and taxes, the second phase of its agenda focuses on improving economic growth, via a vast array of deregulation and liberalization measures. The next major step, to be completed by the end of March, will be the introduction of labor market reforms to make it more flexible and open. More growth-oriented measures are likely to be implemented over the coming months, while efforts against tax evasion have intensified. The overall impact on GDP growth is likely to be negative in the short term, but the improved competitive framework resulting from these measures should help to spur growth by the end of 2012.
Italy's economic prospects also depend heavily on further policy changes at the European level. Having done his homework, and — unlike Berlusconi — enjoying an excellent international reputation, Monti has brought Italy back to the role of a credible actor on the EU scene. He has tried to influence the agenda by shifting the emphasis from an exclusive focus on austerity to more growth-oriented policies. Another Italian, President of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi (he and Monti are often referred to as the "Super Mario Brothers"), has also played an important role in providing essential support to the EU banking system, with his understated tones masking what is, according to most commentators, an aggressive manner. And the Italian government and public opinion have also always been one of the most supportive among EU members of a true political union, which German Chancellor Angela Merkel has identified as the ultimate goal of the institution.
While a technocratic leadership, swift budget balancing, growth-inducing policies, and leadership within the EU do not comprise a complete answer to the crisis, they give many reasons to be hopeful. But it is quite a turnaround for the "sick man of Europe," as The Economist recently called Italy, to be seen not only as convalescing, but as a potential contributor to healing the continent.

I have loved meeting all of your new characters/people -
love the Star Picker
and ...in love...
also the twins, but I couldn't find 10 differences - I found their hair, the direction they are facing, the colour of their clothes and the buttons, pockets on one the blue outfit has a collar, colour of their boots ....hmmm, not 10!
This character looks as though is he a quiet observer of life, as though he doesn't participate in activities of others but stands back and watches, and as though he is slightly puzzled by all he sees ;-)

I don't know how many differences I really drew by the twins but I found two more: the red guy has got 6 teeth and the blue one only 5 and their eyes have different colours...well and the shoes not only have different colours, but they should be of different styles: cowboy shoes vs. wellingtons :-) But it was only a try :-)
By the way you posted really wonderful photos on your blog! They tempt me to see all the beautiful places with my own eyes. Maybe one day... ;-)

Has anyone been able to reach over 180 sp/day? I can get 179 with 2x Elk Taco, 1x Elk Wellington, 1x Fried Hare Haunches. So frustrating XD

Best I was able to finde is 183 SP/Day, by mixing: 1x Corn Fritter, 1x ElkTaco, 1x ElkWellington. (it's only 1.9 Balance, with 2550 Cal)
This constilation requires a ton of Huckleberries, which are no problem at all, but also a lot of meat for the Prime Cut.

EDIT: Updated version in http://ecoforum.strangeloopgames.com/topic/2244/best-food-combos-for-different-skill-levels-in-5-5-4
Fiddled around with numbers in 0.5.5.4 using a brute force algorithm combining everything in different ratios up to 3000 calories. So there may be better combinations for bigger stomachs or if you keep track of your previous meals. The combination algorithm has a bug so also for 3000 cals there could be better ones but it gives a good start.
I assumed that you evolve your skills incrementally so before you learn Baking 1 you already have Campfire Creations 4 and so on.
This is what I got:
Campfire Cooking 1: 1 Campfire Beans, 2 Charred Camas Bulb: 1,3/52,0
Campfire Cooking 2: 1 Charred Meat, 2 Charred Camas Bulb, 2 Charred Beet: 1,8/75,9
Campfire Cooking 3: 1 Charred Meat, 3 Charred Camas Bulb, 1 Charred Beet, 1 Charred Corn, 1 Boiled Shoots: 1,9/79,0
Campfire Cooking 4: 1 Camas Mash, 1 Wilted Fiddleheads: 1,9/96,2
Campfire Creations 1: 1 Charred Meat, 1 Boiled Shoots, 3 Camas Mash, 2 Wheat Porridge: 1,9/97,0
Campfire Creations 2: 2 Wheat Porridge, 1 Charred Sausage: 1,9/114,1
Campfire Creations 3: 1 Camas Mash, 1 Bannock, 2 Fiddlehead Salad, 1 Campfire Roast: 1,8/116,2
Campfire Creations 4: 1 Bannock, 2 Campfire Stew: 1,8/134,8
Baking 1: same as Campfire Creations 4 (no better combination with Camas Bulb Bake and Flatbread)
Baking 2: 1 Wild Stew, 1 Camas Bulb Bake, 1 Baked Meat: 2,0/145,5
Baking 3: same as Baking 2 (no better combination with Baked Roast)
Baking 4: same as Baking 2 (no better combination with Huckleberry Pie and Meat Pie)
Advanced Baking 1: same as Baking 2 (no better combination with Bread)
Advanced Baking 2: 1 Wild Stew, 1 Baked Roast, 1 Camas Bread: 1,9/152,5
Advanced Baking 3: same as Advanced Baking 2 (no better combination with Macaroons)
Advanced Baking 4: 1 Fiddlehead Salad, 1 Bearclaw, 1 Elk Wellington: 2,0/172,6
Culinary Arts 1: 1 Huckleberry Muffin, 1 Elk Wellington, 1 Corn Fritters: 1,9/175,4
Culinary Arts 2: same as Culinary Arts 1 (no better combination with Seared Meat and Vegetable Medley)
Culinary Arts 3: 1 Macaroons, 1 Elk Wellington, 1 Elk Taco: 1,9/180,2
Culinary Arts 4: 1 Macaroons, 1 Vegetable Medley, 1 Elk Taco, 1 Bear S U P R E M E: 1,9/182,5
On the server I play on Camas are quite rare so I also added one beginner's combination (limited to Campfire Cooking 4) without use of Camas and focus on as few ingredients as possible:
1 Charred Meat, 2 Charred Beet: 1,7/73,1
Have fun
As this post is dedicated to 5.0 - 5.4 ill move it to appriopriate one.

VESPER by Jeff Sampson
Series: Deviants #1
HarperCollins: Balzer + Bray
Released: January 25, 2011
Source: Bookstore
Page Count: 288
Rating: Really liked it!
Emily Webb is a geek. And she's happy that way. Content hiding under hoodies and curling up to watch old horror flicks, she's never been the kind of girl who sneaks out for midnight parties. And she's definitely not the kind of girl who starts fights or flirts with other girls' boyfriends. Until one night Emily finds herself doing exactly that . . . the same night one of her classmates - also named Emily - is found mysteriously murdered.
The thing is, Emily doesn't know why she's doing any of this. By day, she's the same boring Emily, but by night, she turns into a thrill seeker. With every nightfall, Emily gets wilder until it's no longer just her personality that changes. Her body can do things it never could before: Emily is now strong, fast, and utterly fearless. And soon Emily realizes that she's not just coming out of her shell . . . there's something much bigger going on. Is she bewitched by the soul of the other, murdered Emily? Or is Emily Webb becoming something else entirely - something not human?
As Emily hunts for answers, she finds out that she's not the only one this is happening to - some of her classmates are changing as well. Who is turning these teens into monsters - and how many people will they kill to get what they want?
My Thoughts
I've gone back and forth on this book, as I just couldn't get a good reading on what the book was about. But after reading a few positive reviews from book bloggers with great taste, I went ahead and pre-ordered it anyway. That was definitely a worthwhile decision! When Vesper arrived on my doorstep and I saw the backcover blurb from K.A. Applegate (whose Animorphs series I am currently devouring), I moved it to the top of my TBR pile and finished up my current read as fast as I could.
I don't want to include any spoilers, so this will probably end up being pretty short. Vesper is told in two forms: the first is a transcript of an interview between The Vesper Company and Emily, and the second is Emily's flashback version of events. I thought that was ingenious, as it gives a fascinating overarching theme to the story. I hope there is some way to continue it in the next book, though after the way things wrapped up that may not be possible. Anyway, Emily is a great character who doesn't let circumstances overwhelm her, and her story is full of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. It's hard to say too much more without including spoilers - just go pick it up, already! :)
Fun trivia: I looked up "vesper" in the dictionary, as it's not a word I'd come across before, and it definitely relates to the story. For those who've read it, take a peek at the link to see if you can put it together!
Books two and three of the trilogy are slated for winter releases in 2012 and 2013. It's going to be a long and arduous wait!

Don McKellar to direct The Grand Seduction
Well that didn't take long. Last week, we learned that Ken Scott was dropping out as director of The Grand Seduction, the $13 million re-make of La Grande seduction, the 2003 Quebec comedy hit, and in this very space, Grand Seduction producer Roger Frappier made no secret of his bitter disappointment following Scott's sudden decision. Scott has left Frappier's project to write and direct the Hollywood re-make of Starbuck, the 2010 Quebec blockbuster that he co-wrote and directed.
Now comes news that hotshot Toronto actor-writer-director Don McKellar will take-over as director of The Grand Seduction.
"In situations of emergency we have to find exceptional answers," said Frappier. "And for me Don McKellar is an exceptional filmmaker. As producers, we are extremely happy that he will be free to direct The Grand Seduction."
Last week, Frappier told me that "I take this as an opportunity to make a better movie."
Now who knows if it'll be a better movie than the one Scott would've directed but McKellar directing Scott's screenplay is certainly one mighty intriguing proposition. I have heard that Scott's English version of his original French-language script is pretty darn good, that it's a saltier take than what we saw on the screen the first time 'round, and McKellar is one of Canada's more interesting movie talents.
He co-wrote the brilliant 32 Short Films about Glenn Gould with Montreal filmmaker Francois Girard, and also wrote The Red Violin for Girard. McKellar wrote and directed the end-of-the-world laugher Last Night, and wrote, directed and starred in the film Childstar. He wrote the book for the musical The Drowsy Chaperone, which won him a Tony Award, and he also penned the screenplay for the film adaptation of Jose Saramago's award-winning novel Blindness. He co-starred in that film. In addition, he directed and executive produced the CBC series Michael: Tuesday & Thursday.
"This film was an easy sell for me," said McKellar. "With the pedigree of the project and the rock solid script, it didn't take much of a seduction to get me on board. Besides, I love Newfoundland and I've always wanted to shoot a feature out there. I'm looking forward to a very exciting and productive summer."
The film will shoot on location this summer in Newfoundland with Frappier producing in collaboration with Newfoundland producer Barbara Doran from Morag Loves Company and French producer Pierre-Ange Le Pogam from Stone Angels Production.

Real Goods Solar (dba RGS Energy) to Power 18 Stockton Unified School District Schools and Facilities with Solar Energy
5.1 MW Project Expected to Save School District $600,000 in Energy Costs in First Year
LOUISVILLE, CO, April 24, 2013 — RGS Energy, the commercial and utility division of Real Goods Solar, Inc (NASDAQ: RSOL), and Smart Energy Capital (SEC), will provide Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) with 5.1 megawatts (MW) of solar power that will bring clean energy to 18 SUSD schools and facilities in California. The solar installations are expected to save the district $600,000 in the first year, which will directly benefit school programs and services district wide.
The systems will allow the district to pay less for solar electricity over the course of the 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA), provided by SEC, a leading solar development and finance company. Moreover, the photovoltaic solar systems will deliver environmental benefits to the region, eliminating over 290 million pounds of annual carbon dioxide emissions, which is the equivalent of taking roughly 1,000 cars off California's roads each year (according to the EPA calculator).
"Going solar provides an exceptional real-world learning opportunity by reducing energy costs to free up funds that can be used to improve educational facilities and launch new learning programs for students," said SUSD Superintendent Dr. Steve Lowder. "We are proud to invest in renewable energy and set an example of environmental leadership."
SUSD, by working with RGS Energy and SEC, is now able to go solar with no upfront cost and pay less for solar electricity than they currently pay for utility power. RGS Energy, which has operations centers in numerous states, including California, will be responsible for construction, maintenance and monitoring of the systems.
Stockton Unified will join school districts across the state in benefiting from California's Net Metering policy, which credits solar customers for the surplus clean energy their systems send to the grid. The SUSD solar project will provide clean electricity for use by the schools during the day, and reduce the need for expensive peak power utility production.
"We have successfully deployed solar energy systems at many schools and academic institutions and are always impressed by the great value proposition that solar brings to the educational sector in particular," said Real Goods Solar CEO Kam Mofid. "RGS Energy is delighted to help the Stockton Unified School District achieve its goals of fiscal responsibility, educational excellence and environmental stewardship."
The project is comprised of more than 17,000 solar panels that will sit atop parking lot carports on the campuses, including the district's four comprehensive high schools. Providing both shade and solar power, these installations will also afford students with firsthand demonstrations of how solar technology works, and of solar energy's benefits to the classroom, where students can view the school's real-time energy production through online monitoring.
RGS Energy, who has designed and installed nearly 50 MW of solar power on schools, universities and colleges across the nation, expects to complete the project – valued at approximately $20 million – in 2013 and 2014.

You're probably much smaller than the U.S. Government, but they also hold these standards. Take the space program for instance. Dream-going to the moon, Believe-President Kennedy believed in this program, Dare-we sent rockets into outer space, Do-astronauts stepped foot on the moon.
You can't rest on the past - "it's always worked for us" takes you on the road to nowhere. Open up and allow staff to participate in these standards. It will make them feel more a part of the organization. Who has the most first-hand information? Frontline staff. A lot of their motivation comes from knowing that they're valued.
In the book "The Disney Way", by Bill Capodiagli and Lynn Jackson, they list the 10 concepts that are at the heart of the Disney standards:
- Give every member of your organization a chance to dream, and tap into the creativity those dreams embody.
- Stand firm on your beliefs and principles.
- Treat your customers like guests.
- Support, empower, and reward employees.
- Build long-term relationships with key suppliers and partners.
- Dare to take calculated risks in order to bring innovative ideas to fruition.
- Train extensively and constantly reinforce the company's culture.
- Align long-term vision with short-term execution.
- Use the storyboarding technique to solve planning and communication problems.
- Pay close attention to detail.
Develop an organizational culture and mission that's open to change, with Dreams (ideas) coming from all levels of the organization. Talk about motivating! If you take a look at the most successful organizations today, you'll find that staff participation is a major reason for their success. Look at Disney today and remember, "it all started with a mouse".

Departure from the world of blogging...
I have mused quite awhile on whether I would continue posting on this blog. However, due to the amount of pursuits I am currently investing in, I feel it is best to end my postings on this blog here. I am thinking of starting another blog at some point, perhaps when I have more clarity on exactly what I want to chronicle and share. I have had so many things on my heart as of late and, in time, would enjoy being able to express them. My Father has been instructing and growing me in so much. Yet, for now, I must draw this blog to an end. I began it nearly 3.5 years ago as a way to connect with others and share personal things that I was learning through life. It truly was therapeutic for me, as well as beneficial to my writing! I will continue to keep it up for awhile only to have access to previous posts that I made.
Thank you my fellow blogger-friends! :)
As a side note, my only current blog will be the one for my essential oil journey/business, Ancient Essentials via this link. Please follow me through there for those who are interested in alternative/natural health.

Love and blessings!

LUDHIANA, November 8, 2018: Punjab Congress leaders, led by the PCC general Secretary Pawan Dewan today observed the second death anniversary of the Indian Economy.
They also lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for killing the Indian Economy in such a brutal way.
In a novel way the Congress workers and the leaders put the facsimile copies of the demonetised currency notes of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 with garlands mourning their 'Brutal Killing' two years ago at the hands of the Prime Minister Modi.
Addressing the workers, Dewan said, the Modi government had devastated Indian economy as also the Indian currency with the value of rupee touching all time low. He said, people were waiting for 2019 General Elections to teach the BJP and its leaders a lesson. He said, the BJP candidates will lose even the security deposits also.
Among those present included Sunil Dutt, Palwinder Taggar, Akshay Bhanot, Inderjit Kapoor, Navnesh Malhotra, Ravinder Kataria, Rajnesh Chopra, Madan Lal Madhu, Narinder Sura, Bhadur Singh Rait, Dr Onkar Chand Sharma , Mani Kheeva, Azad Sharma, Avtar Singh Mudhian, Sunny Kheeva and others.

Back to school time, For nearly every parent this is the most exciting time of the year. The kids will be out of my hair for 4 and 7 hours a day. The first day the children get their school holidays, in June, I am literally counting down the days till they return, two months of MAAAAMMMMMMM I'm hungry, ( you ate 20 minutes ago) and MAAAAMMMMMMM I'm bored ( tidy your room, and its still not done).
But once August comes I feel a rainbow emotions and I only have two children in school. God knows what id be like when the four of them are in school. The Dread sneaks in, Feck I'm back to the daily battle of getting the kids up and dress and breakfast before school, and getting the sectary phone call at least twice a week about one of them forgetting a lunch, or feeling sick and me having to drive to the school 4 times a day.
Also the dread of the expense of it.This country is supposed to have free education. Feck how much do I need to fork out this month, I am one of those mothers who leave it till the last minute to figure out where are we will get the money from to pay for it. So Victoria is going into senior infants, thank god the school has agreed to have a generic uniform. a Red jumper White shirt and grey pinafore, the tracksuit is charcoal grey the jumper does have to be bought in a local shop but the rest of the items can be bought elsewhere. Whereas Callum is going into First year. So his uniform jumper, PE Tracksuit and Tshirt have a crest on them, but the white shirt and grey trousers I got in Tescos and because he is going into adult sizes the price goes up by a million percent. Also, Callum's school is a new school that is only open 3 years and its one of the few schools around the country that has a tablet instead of school books.
The accountant side of me is coming out, I've done a breakdown of what it costs me to send them back. I raided the Credit union accounts, any little bit of savings we had stashed by for a rainy day, (which was very very little) and we did it we got the kids sorted for back to school.
So come Tuesday the 28th August, I will be a proud mamma dropping my baby, to secondary school. It's a huge milestone for him to be moving onto a big school, he no longer will be the oldest kids they will be the babies again and yes I will probably shed a tear and count the hours until he returns home, for the first day at least. And on Thursday the 30th August, Victoria will be becoming a big girl and move into senior infants, new teachers and maybe some new friends.
The excitement of the kids going back and having a few hours peace will end quickly though and the Sunday evening dread of fuck I forgot to wash the uniforms or I have nothing in for the lunches will hit me with a bang.

Who Killed Hostess Brands and Twinkies? Don't blame the union (and you shouldn't be eating that crap anyways)
Execs giving themselves raises while they run a product to the ground and stiff workers…….
Helaine Olen, Contributor
Who Killed Hostess Brands and Twinkies?
I'm sure you have, by now, heard the news. Hostess Brands, the company that gave us such remembered childhood treats as Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Devil Dogs and other baked foodstuffs that have fallen into disfavor in our more gourmand age, announced today that it would be closing for business, effective immediately.
More than a few observers say they know who to blame for the demise of the iconic company: the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International union, which represents thousands of striking Hostess Brand workers who have refused to accept a new contract that would do everything from slash their salaries to their retirement benefits.
Time for a reality check.
Hostess has been sold at least three times since the 1980s, racking up debt and shedding profitable assets along the way with each successive merger. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2004, and again in 2011. Little thought was given to the line of products, which, frankly began to seem a bit dated in the age of the gourmet cupcake. (100 calorie Twinkie Bites? When was the last time you entered Magnolia Bakery and asked about the calorie count?)
As if all this were not enough, Hostess Brands management gave themselves several raises, all the while complaining that the workers who actually produced the products that made the firm what money it did earn were grossly overpaid relative to the company's increasingly dismal financial position.
So now an estimated 18,500 workers will join the nation's unemployment rolls. But while Hostess Brands might soon become a forgotten name from the past, it's unlikely such a fate awaits such signature products as Twinkies. Company executives have already asked for bankruptcy court permission to begin the process of selling off their famed product lines to other companies.

"Quickly And Easily Outsmart Your Way To Six Figures Using These Powerful Black Hat Strategies!" Slap Search Engines In The Face And Grab Top Rankings, Now! Dear internet marketer. Let's face it, web traffic is the lifeblood of our businesses and nobody in their right mind would ever dare contradict this. By now you have probably tried all of the latest methods of generating traffic, free and paid for. Time for a reality check here. How much better off is your online business now than it was a few months ago? Have you noticed a strange trend, watching your traffic dry up every month, requiring you to constantly go back to step one and start your marketing efforts all over? I think it may be time for you to learn the very grim truth about the "silent partner in your business" who's getting pretty fat on your back as you do all of the hard work - over and over again. The Search Engines are cheating you! You see, not content with the idea of making you pay good money in order to gain their "friendship" and have your ads featured on their networks, the powers behind "organic traffic" are on a mission to starve your business to death. Fortunately, there are many ways to outsmart the search engines at their own game using speed and stealth techniques, which are all covered in great detail in Black Hat SEO?for Beginners. This little game of power has been going on behind the scenes for years now, and with every new change to these giants' terms of service, webmasters around the world are losing inches of their freedom, and profits. This silent robbing has already taken many succesfull businesses to the ground, and yours could be next on the list. Why is it that search engines are allowed to have so much power online? Because they get all the traffic, and whoever has traffic makes the rules in the world "wild west". They know that as long as people like us are happy with the crumbs, they can keep on changing the rules as they see fit and grow their wallets fat. And because the search engines have been unfairly given so much power over the last decade, it is now more important than ever that you learn how to apply new techniques to your marketing arsenal that will make your business stand out on its own and regain its authority. Techniques that will still be working next month as search engines keep adding new loops to their terms of use and changing the rules of the game to their advantage. But It's For Your Own Good! Or Is It??? Of course, whenever such a change happens they will be quick to justify their decisions with claims such as improvement of the overall search experience for users. Of course these are only half-truths and window-dressing to detract from their real motives;?Growing their profits and influence over website owners. It seems that they have forgotten that long ago, without the efforts and hard work of these unkown webmasters, there would be absolutely nothing for them to capitalize on. Now they're in control, and secretly manipulating the "user's experience" to steal money from you and force you into dropping all of your profits back into the search engine machine by using their "targeted keyword advertising services" or "premium listings". Honestly, how it that supposedly helping enhance the "user experience" ? It is time for online business owners to start following their own rules, and tilt the game back to our advantage, and it can easily be done by implementing a handful of black hat techniques and search engines optimization secrets that Google and the likes do not want you to know about. Not because these methods are unethical or illegal, but because they are so powerful they could easily give them the death blow they deserve for cheating on millions of honest webmasters over the years. How To Wrestle With Giants... Here's the tricky part. Search engines make the rules and have the power to send your business off circuit with the click of a button. Of course they're not happy with anyone circumventing their rules and sharing part of their profits and this is why it is so crucial that you learn how to protect yourself and your income from their prying hands first. Remember, there is absolutely nothing illegal or even unethical about this. The search engines have been artificially playing with the rules of traffic generation for years, and it's time that webmasters develop a new approach and start leveling the fields, making the internet profitable again for the small guys. I have spent months researching the best way to fly under the search engines' radar, and spying on people who'd been using these strategies for years. There was absolutely no way I'd jump into this unprepared, and risk getting hit by another Google slap. These Black Hat Methods Mean War, And Search Engines Know It Only Too Well. Slowly, I've been able to uncover bits of information that all kept adding up. Even though I had an advantage over the search engines, being a real human sitting behind a computer rather than a specific program designed to spider websites, it was still hard to pin-point and track succesfull black hat website owners. Not because they are few, but mainly because those guys have taken stealth and made it into a science. Once I finally got around to it, I was ready to tackle the "Big G" and friends. After some initial work setting up my new system, I could already see the results pouring in... Floods of free traffic that soon began to bring me more money that I ever had back in the time when I was dumping my paychecks into paid traffic. If you have thousands of dollars to waste on traffic this year, and are willing to accept that the search engines are constantly cheating on you as part of your "business model", then please ignore this information and get back to work on your traffic generation. If, on the other hand, you enjoy the idea of getting swarms of traffic to your websites effortlessly and reclaim full control over the way you run your online business, then I urge you to keep on reading. It's Time To Claim Your Profits Back! As I mentioned earlier, implementing black hat marketing techniques to circumvent the restrictive rules that search engines love to put in place in order to steal your profits from you has nothing unethical or illegal to it. As a business owner, you owe it to yourself to see to your interests first. Believe me, the search engines have been doing it for years. Black Hat SEO?For Beginners will introduce you to the most powerful black hat traffic generation techniques around the internet today. It will guide you through the complete step-by-step process you need to bullet-proof your business from the search engines' silent "one click" business killer and fly under the radar of your competitors. It will also cover the different ways you can use black hat to automate your results and watch your business grow faster than ever before by leveraging the secrets of duplication. This book contains all of this information, and more, conveniently arranged into chapters.
