Glass in the 20th Century Architecture: Preservation and Restoration
Published byon
Franz Graf and Francesca Albani, editors, Il vetro nell'architettura del XX secolo: conservazione e restauro: Glass in the 20th Century Architecture: Preservation and Restoration (Mendrisio, Switzerland: Mendrisio Academy Press, 2011).
In 2008 the Swiss University Conference an ambitious research project titled Critical Encyclopedia for Restoration and Reuse of 20th Century Architecture. While its primary goal was to stimulate cooperation between different institutions of higher learning, the practical results were to be a series of publications addressing four separate issues, one of which was the Material History of Construction. This portion of the research is headed by Franz Graf, one of the editors of this volume in theCritical Encyclopedia. Others are forthcoming dealing with such aspects as philosophy, theory and methodology.
Glass – maybe only with the exception of concrete – is one of the most important materials in the history of modern architecture and in its practice today. Technological changes and different cultural expectations have also made this one of the most challenging materials to deal with in the preservation and conservation of buildings in modern history. This volume presents some discussions on the aesthetic and cultural importance glass but the majority of the text is dedicated to a series of case study discussion of well know modernist buildings ranging from the Maison de Verre – not surprisingly – by Pierre Chareau and Bernard Bijvoet to the curtain wall of the Pirelli Tower by Gio Ponti. The collection is impressive, the content stimulating but the case studies only concern European examples and, in a few instances, have been presented and published as papers at such conferences as those by Docomomo International. Nevertheless the collection is of great importance to anyone studying the use and restoration of glass facades of the 20th Century.

On this date in 1939, DC introduced its second major masked hero in Detective Comics #27: The steely, utilitarian Batman and his troubled, wealthy alter-ego Bruce Wayne. And for as many comics series he's passed through in the past 72 years, he's been immortalized in almost as many movies and cartoon series — campy and serious — by a bevy of recognizable actors.

Lake Fork Boot Tail Live Magic Shad 4pk
Delivering the lifelike swimming action of the original Live Magic Shad - now with some extra tail thump - the advanced engineering of the Lake Fork Boot Tail Live Magic Shad allows it to accurately mimic the swimming motion of a fleeing baitfish and trigger vicious strikes. Impregnated with garlic scent and made from super soft plastic to make fish hold on longer, a hook keeper pocket is also molded into the top of each bait, greatly reducing hang-ups and snags, while increasing hook-ups. For best results, try rigging the Boot Tail Live Magic Shad on a weighted swimbait hook or umbrella rig. A slow steady retrieve will bring this swimbait to life. The Lake Fork Boot Tail Live Magic Shad is now available at Tackle Warehouse in a variety of colors to match the forage in your local waters.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Just purchased some of these in the 4.5 inch magic shad color. Have not used them not but they look and feel like they will have great action and having the boot tail in my opinion is much better and is a confidence booster. Perfect size also.
From: Nick 1/5/17
Comments: Better kick than original. Great as Swimbait, A-Rig, or Bulking up a SwimJig, for slower bottom retrieves and increased water displacement at night. Trim long skirts to front section, to not impede action. For a ChatterBait or Scrounger Head, the original MS looks better paused on the bottom and the blade/lip powers the kicking action. Both are outstanding fish catchers in these applications.
From: Outcast: CA 7/4/15
Comments: Bought these for vibejig trailer as I've heard good things. Rigged em up and was very underwhelmed. The boot tail moved around tightly but rapidly. The segmented tail did not kick at all. Perhaps the blade or skirt hampered water flow. I'll give them a shot on a jighead.
From: Montanaro: Touchdown City, WV 8/1/14
Comments: I use this bait as a trailer on the strike king heavy cover jig, and all I can say is WOW. This bait has unreal swimming action and helped me land a personal best 7 pounder. Can't say enough.
From: Sam: MO 3/1/14
Comments: I love fishing theses on a swimbait jighead at a power dam for smallmouth, stripers, walleye, largemouth, pike, muskies, flathead catfish & i had a big crappie take one once.You gotta cut a little tip of the head off then thread it on a jighead.Works great on my 7'2 compre caster and core reel with 20 pound trilene 100% flurocarbon.
From: Tyler: susquehanna river,PA,USA
Comments: Pure greatness!! Game changer!! try these waitless up shallow or on an A-rig and hold on!! All LFT lures are the bomb!
From: Mike: Lake Fork, TX
Comments: Awesome swim bait!! I've been using this bait since the fall. I've caught fish using as a single swim bait on any 5/0-6/0 swim bait hook. I've also used them on the Alabama rig. The 3.5" and 4.5" in pearl and albino colors are my favorites. The boot tail action gives action that copy's bait fish fleeing. You can use it in many different ways. You can slow reel it, use it for schooling fish, and the A-Rig. You'll catch big fish and numbers!!!
From: Keivn: AL
Comments: This swim bait is a game changer. The lft live magic shad was already a great product. The boot tail magic shad takes even that bait to another level. This is a great bait to swim behind a bladed jig, on an Alabama rig or just swim it alone. It has tons of action even with a slow retrieve.
Simply said, this is the next generation of swim bait.
From: Grant: TX
Comments: ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!! Been waiting for this to come out and fished with them for the first time yesterday using them as a swim jig trailer. Outstanding action! Great bait!
From: Al: FL

The Paajarvi Recall/Non-Recall
Jonathan Willis
March 31 2012 01:09PM
The Edmonton Oilers ended up looking a little silly yesterday. First, they recalled Magnus Paajarvi. Tom Renney talked about him playing on the top line with Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle. Then, the Oilers had to return Paajarvi to the AHL after the NHL informed them they'd used their allotted four post-deadline recalls.
What does it mean?
The Paajarvi Camp
I tweeted Gunnar Svenson, the agent for Magnus Paajarvi last night, to ask if the Oilers had offered them any explanation for the abortive recall. His response:
No Jonathan. But the Oilers meant well. They liked to have Magnus up. But the CBA rules could be complicaded (sic)...
It would seem that there aren't any hard feelings on that end of things, which is probably the most important thing here.
The Actual Mechanics of the Recall
Here is the list of the Oilers' post-deadline recalls, courtesy of the AHL's official website, which tracks things like this:
- February 27: Oilers recall Magnus Paajarvi
- March 5: Oilers recall Linus Omark
- March 14: Oilers recall Teemu Hartikainen
- March 24: Oilers recall Chris VandeVelde
- March 30: Oilers recall Magnus Paajarvi
As we can see, there are five recalls. As has been much-publicized, only four recalls are permitted after the deadline.
Two of these transactions in particular are interesting: the February 27 recall of Paajarvi and the March 24 recall of VandeVelde.
Here's what Dan Tencer had to say about the Paajarvi transaction:
The Oilers had previously assigned and recalled Paajarvi as a paper transaction to get him eligible for OKC playoffs.
That's the transaction that many forgot about – because Paajarvi never really went anywhere. The Oilers simply wanted to ensure that Paajarvi could play in the AHL without actually sending him down. The irony is that Paajarvi didn't end up playing another game for the Oilers under his paper recall – the Oilers sent him down (in what turned out to be for good) on March 1 without him dressing once more. So, the Oilers could have sent him down with no negative consequences then, and not have burned one of their four recalls uselessly.
Derek Van Diest has suggested that the Oilers felt the Vande Velde recall was an "emergency" recall (recall –hehe- that he was brought up to fill in for Shawn Horcoff after the latter injured his back) but as Tyler Dellow explains that defense makes literally no sense:
Where I would assume that this gets problematic is that, come Wednesday night, Horcoff and Petrell are good to go. Omark and Vande Velde are healthy scratches. At which point, the Oilers are in breach of 13.12(m)(i) because they haven't returned Vande Velde promptly to OKC. How do you resolve this? It appears that the NHL took the utterly reasonable route of simply treating Vande Velde as the Oilers fourth recall in the post trade deadline period.
Who made the mistake? Terry Jones, to his credit, asked Kevin Lowe for the answer to that one. Here, in part, is what Lowe told him:
"It wasn't Tambellini at all. And I'd hate to see Ricky [Olczyk, the Oilers' assistant general manager] take a hit on this. He is impeccable when it comes to dealing with all of this."
Lowe also took time to complain about the rule (he described it as "ludicrous") but that's really irrelevant window dressing. Regardless of whether the Oilers like the rules or not, they're responsible for understanding the rules and following them.
Does It Matter?
In the grand scheme of things, will the Oilers' failure to recall Magnus Paajarvi have any impact on the team's ability to win games, on the long-term viability of the rebuild, or anything else? No. All it means, from that standpoint, is that the Oilers don't get to keep Paajarvi for a short-term cup of coffee in a meaningless season.
The Oilers do end up looking silly. That isn't good but it's hardly the end of the world, either.
The real question that this raises publicly is whether or not the Oilers front office is especially good at what they do. This isn't the first time the question has come up. From my profile of Rick Olczyk, a brief history:
As with any assistant general manager, we don't have a full-picture view of Olczyk – the majority of his decisions and takes on things are spelled out internally and unlike with a team's general manager we can't really determine what those decisions were from the direction of the team. There are, however, some interesting points. One of the interesting things to come out of the Dany Heatley boondoggle was the fact that apparently both the Oilers and Senators were confused about when Heatley's bonus was payable, which reflects badly on Olczyk. Then there was the time the Oilers may have been confused by Gilbert Brule's waiver eligibility. Then there was that time that someone high up in the organization didn't know how long the team had to sign Teemu Hartikainen. Again, it needs to be emphasized that we're constructing a picture based on glimpses, but those sorts of things look really bad.
Again, it needs to be emphasized that the picture we're getting is far less than whole. I certainly don't feel I'm in a position to objectively evaluate Rick Olczyk's job performance; I simply don't have the information to do that. To my knowledge, nobody outside the Oilers' organization has the necessary information to do that.
What we do have are these little gaffes. Apparent confusion about the payment of Dany Heatley's bonus (though the Oilers weren't alone on that) and Gilbert Brule's waiver eligibility. There was some definite confusion (from an unnamed Oilers source) on when the deadline was to sign Teemu Hartikainen. And now, an embarassing little incident where they recalled a player they weren't allowed to recall. None of these things assure us that the Oilers are running a professional shop.
Its time to cheer for M&M.
There's actually another interpretation.
The possibility exists that the VandeVelde recall was an emergency recall, and the NHL said 'yeah, sure, you've got another recall' *before* the Oilers decided not to send VandeVelde back down.
Then, the Oilers called up Paajarvi, and the NHL said, 'you've used your four recalls because you never sent VandeVelde back down after your roster emergency was concluded.'
I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm saying that it's a plausible scenario that would fit with what we're hearing.
Surely the Oilers should have known that BEFORE they recalled Paajarvi.
I guess the outrage on the death of the Linus Omark experiment will come later.
March 31 2012, 09:23PM
Another negative to the mess up is that OKC lost one of their best players for a game.
@Jonathan Willis
JW, On CHED they said 2 days before they tried to send down MPS. So that would fit a Wed discussion before the players returned.
"When an emergency condition terminates, the Club must submit a transfer form indicating whether the Player's status has converted to regular recall or is assigned to his minor league club."
So you was it already too late the minute Horcoff dressed or is their typically some leeway to file if you scratch the replacement? Were they already committed to Vandervelde using a spot Wed. night? Or sometime Thursday. Or the minute papers were submitted for MPS without any papers for Vandervelde?
March 31 2012, 09:47PM
Well, I said it all year that this summer is going to be the most important for the Oilers management; they have some of the vital pieces in place now, with the draft coming up, free agency, the prospects pool and players as trade assets it's up to the management to put it all together and bring this team out of the re-build and into a competitive playoff team.
A recall blunder is not necessarily the time to panic. If the Oilers draft and then go into next season making only minor upgrades this summer then I honestly believe this team has absolutely no direction and no real idea of player talent and evaluation.
Not yet time to panic or get really bent out of shape about this year. But time is ticking for upper management.
April 01 2012, 12:20AM
@Quicksilver ballet
No it's definitely not acceptable and Oiler fans have a right to voice their opinion. They should just be prepared to be called out if it's an arguable or ridiculous point. DSF does not argue pertinent points/issues. He throws out blanket statements that are either meaningless or inaccurate. So it bothers people. Much like Madjam and people of that ilk.
April 01 2012, 04:42AM
...when will our GM get his extension so we all can be assured of more clear sailing on the good ship Oiler...i'm not sure if i want to have to deal with anyone else in this most crucial time in the franchises' history...to be going into the off season without our GM and his A$$-istant and possibly an all new coaching staff would be just too much for me to cope with here ...
oh wait that's what i want anyway ... complete and utter failure due to no front line brains to steer us to the Holy Grail...or maybe extend and fire extend and fire all the way down the line ...
is our GM Curly Larry or Moe
April 01 2012, 09:09AM
I posted this over at FlamesNation. Maybe time el Editorio focused on the failures of his own team.
Hey Tim, pretty embarrassing huh? Nice record over the last 9 games. A team with an open door to the playoffs and they win one in regulation. Pretty embarrassing. Pretty embarrassing that it has come to a fan throwing his jersey onto the ice. Pretty embarrassing. Overall, this is a much more embarrassing situation than the PRV re-call situation with the Oilers. One that's not so much embarrassing since the Oilers had contacted the NHL and were given the direction that the NHL viewed it originally as OK.
But yet you haven't written an article ripping the Flames players for the embarrassment of shatting their pants when they a playoff spot all but handed to them with the way others were stumbling. They lost handily to the 29th and 30th place teams in the playoff fight. Now that is embarrassing. Write about your own teams failures. You are probably the type of guy, who if you were pulled over speeding, the first thing out of your mouth would be, " Well all the other vehicles on Deerfoot were going that fast too!". But no, you have to try to poke attention to the North to make up for your own failure/ fear or insecurities about your own team.
Enjoy being out of the playoffs, you'll see that for a long time to come. Then we will see which city has the true fanbase. 3 years of 30, ,30 and most likely 29th, and our barn is still full, every night, NOT throwing jerseys on the ice. I suspect you will have no trouble taking the family to games over the next few years, with the amount of non-renewals you will see. Better hope the medical system is in good shape, as I think Calgary will see many injured ankles and knees with the bandwagon emptying like the Titanic.
Was it a big gaffe , or a prelude to a trade for next season involving Khabby and Magnus for Bernier ?
April 01 2012, 10:26AM
Not really a big fan of what you did. Nor the fact that you felt the need to back it up on this site.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching the Flames crash and burn like any warm blooded Oiler fan would but what you did makes me shake my head. There was no mention of the PRV boo boo in that article nor was there any mention of the Oilers at all. Why decide to take a jab? Reminds me of that low self esteemed bully deciding to make fun of that skinny kid with the glasses in Jr High.
If you must put your team on a pedistal by putting down the Flames, save it for BOA game days kiddo.
If you follow the gentleman to whom I was referring, you would realize that since the PRV recall, he has been more active in posting and commenting about the PRV situation than his own beloved team.
Pardon me for having some pride in my beloved team. Maybe you should enlighten me why it is alright for fans and writers of a rival team to run us into the ground, and you feel that I should not be allowed to reply and defend. They make fun of our fanbase, so I did the same. They make fun of our position in the standings, and I do the same. The person to whom I was referring would not reply directly to my comment, for whatever reason. Maybe when he is confronted by someone with a valid point, he just chooses to ignore. I at least applaud you for voicing your opinion. And I don't say you are wrong, I ask you why is it ok for others but not for an Oiler fan.
One of my favorite articles on this site in recent memory was Wanye's BOA game day post a few weeks back and possibly to a lesser degree Vintage Flame's game day posts because of the following comments. The comments and rebuttles were all classic and should be bronzed. Mainly because they all were relevant to the article.
What I read in the Flames Nation post game article did not reference the PRV incident so your comment comes off as inapropriate and untimely. I do not know who this Tim fellow is nor am I going to go back and waste time reading past articles to find out. If you want your comments to make sense make them relevant. I LOVE LAMP!
I just calls them as I sees them.

Well guys we have to remember, i don't think this was supposed to be the chapter before the break remember, oda got sick that pushed things back a week. So, It might have been meant to be more epic, But i loved the chapter i thought it was jsut as good as last weeks we got to see some seriously strong guys, I can see the fish man guy befriending luffy, Also, i think that his punch, will be pawned, by some one, The fishman, ricky, bellamy, bartolomeo, someone.
I also have a theory about ricky. I think he could be a White beard pirate, who could have been a former gladiator. Maybe fosa
the way hes holding the sword seems similar, and the flames on his helmet could mean his flame sword. But the only hole in that is the White beard tattoo on his arm , but he could be hiding that to keep a low profile.

Fishing Cover/Structure
Lake Graham is a power plant reservoir, but the plant operates only when demand is high so it does not provide consistent winter fishing. The hot-water discharge is located on the Eddleman portion of the reservoir. The lake offers a variety of cover including smartweed, bulrush, pondweed and lily pads. Anglers can also find buttonbush, boat docks, riprap, standing timber, brush, and black willow trees. Shoreline is rocky.
Tips & Tactics
The hot-water discharge is an excellent area to fish during the winter, especially for hybrid striped bass and white bass. Hybrid stripers are also consistently caught in the equalization channel between Graham and Eddleman and around the dam on the Graham side. For bass, with the variety of cover, a number of techniques can be productive, including flipping, dock fishing, topwater, and spinnerbaits.

The latest chapter is out. Enjoy!
This chapter actually didn't bring anything new, but oh well it still was a great read .
yea it was, ganta whole part in this is still a mystery though, that old dude in the young body doesn't rvrn know who ganta is which is kinda weird
No, he knows who Ganta is and whose child he is, what he doesn't know is why he is capable of performing a special branch of sin{is it something that his mother did to him, or is it because of the large(compared to others) stone of the branch of sin}.
Currently he belives he is the key to that sealing device.
DW is officially on my list of favorites. Man, and I thought the Hulk was the worst dude out there with a split personality. Wretched Egg makes Hulk look like a schmuck. I wonder where Sorae Igarashi found the original Red Diamond and Nameless Worm. Also, why was there even a method to turn OFF the Mother Goose system? I mean sure she left Ganta as the key to the system, but why have a key at all if it helps keep Wretched Egg at bay?
Wretched Egg killed all of Ganta's classmates so that Ganta would come to DW and then break the Mother Goose System, so that Wretched Egg would be free. If there was no key to begin with, then this wouldn't have even happened.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
And power is power. People like power. Power means everything
What's the point of creating the most amazing explosive if it can't be used, ever ever?
The system limits Wretched Egg's power potential. Many would be disappointed if said potential was sealed forever, thinking that perhaps, one day, in times of (...desperate) need, there could be something that could destroy the world! Like a big red button \o/ (more like a last resort... Say, if Earth way gonna destroy the Universe then it'd be better to eliminate Earth and save the Universe as a whole). Without a key, the Wretched Egg wouldn't really be dangerous anyway, therefore all the power potential would be "wasted".
...That is a possibility.
Zetsuboushita|ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH! «°-°«
Chapter 44: Faced With Fate
Chapter 45: Past The Passion
Spoiler!It seems that now Ganta will have a split personality as well, just like Shiro.
Spoiler!Yea was thinking something would go wrong next chapter and gantas personality remained somehow, didn't think of the split personality thing though
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?

Fans flocked to condemn the inconsistent disciplinary hearing judgements handed down to Rob Simmons and Adam Thomson.
Rugby fans flocked to condemn the inconsistent disciplinary hearing judgements handed down to Rob Simmons and Adam Thomson this week.
Rugby has been building up to a moment like this for quite some time. Defining a fair suspension that will satisfy all parties is rare, but in the cases of Rob Simmons and Adam Thomson, the results of both hearings have been fiercely contested by both fans and media.
Simmons was originally handed a 14-week suspension by the IRB for a tip tackle of France's Yannick Nyanga. It was late, dangerous and off the ball and if the officials on the field had been able to identify Simmons as the perpetrator he may well have been sent off.
Despite having his suspension cut down by six weeks for "exemplary previous disciplinary record and his conduct at the hearing", Simmons' ban however remains at eight weeks, nearly double the average for tip-tackle bans over the past two years based on the following examples:
One week – Francois Hougaard
Two weeks – Cooper Vuna, Carl Hayman
Three weeks – Sam Warburton, Justin Tipuric
Four weeks – GJ Van Der Veize, Steve Shingler, John Afoa
Five weeks – Digby Ioane
Seven weeks – Bradley Davies
Deciding whether the Simmons tackle on Nyanga was obviously worse than any of those listed above comes down to the position of the player's head and the level of force into the ground, but when the average punishment is around four weeks, to originally hand out a suspension of more than triple that time period is hard to understand.
The recklessness of the tackle is not in doubt, purely the length of the suspension.
Tip-tackling remains an area of contention over a year after it was brought under the spotlight following Sam Warburton's sending off in the Rugby World Cup semi-final. It will continue to be examined ahead of the Lions tour next year, with British fans still infuriated at the lack of justice against Keven Mealamu and Tana Umaga.
Hours after the Simmons hearing, Adam Thomson was given a one-week ban for "stamping or trampling" on the head of Alasdair Strokosch, resulting a similar outpouring of dismay on Twitter except this time for the leniency of the punishment.
Thomson was originally sin-binned after making contact with the head of Strokosch whilst the Scot was stuck at the bottom of the ruck. It was not excessively violent, but there was contact, enough for Thomson to be punished.
With a previously unblemished disciplinary record at Test level and lawyer Owen Eastwood as part of his defence team, Thomson protested his innocence stating that the incident was "unintentional", but the footage is difficult to ignore.
His ban remains at a single week rather than falling in the two-to-nine week lower-end range normally associated with stamping bans, of which the five week ban given to John Hayes for stamping on Cian Healy's face back in 2009 is an example.
Thomson's defence was clearly effective but when you strip away the context and watch the footage, one week appears remarkably light. Any time a boot makes contact with an opponent's head, you are playing with fire.
Suspensions need to be logical and fair, which is where the case of Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu comes into the equation. The Samoan was given a three-week suspension last season for tweeting about Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell.
The balance is wrong if a player can be given a longer ban for tweeting about another player as opposed to stamping on another player's head.
By maintaining the accuracy of the judicial system, the IRB can avoid the derision of the last 24 hours and prevent situations where CEO Brett Gosper has to announce on Twitter that the sanction against Thomson is under review.
Consistency is important and the IRB have to be careful with the precedents they set.
If Simmons eight-week ban is now the benchmark, how big will the next tip-tackle punishment be? And if players know that they will only receive one or two weeks bans for stamping on players' heads, then how much more dangerous will the game become?
Questionable decisions are emerging from disciplinary hearings far too often, to the long-term detriment of the IRB and its member unions' reputations.
In this high-profile month for the sport, greater accuracy is essential.

During the morning of Nov. 25, Alice Israelson cut the ribbon to her new business in Castle Dale. The business, Crystal Clear Images, located in the rear of her home at 290 West 100 North, officially opened Nov 26. Israelson will do photography work in her newly acquired studio.
Israelson was raised in Chicago, Ill. and yearned for the mountains. After relocating to Emery County 25 years ago, she has come to love her time in the mountains and enjoys photographing the places she visits, so most of the photos that she sells are local scenes.
Driven by this love of nature and photography, Israelson took computer art and photography classes. Following that, she enrolled in the NxLevel business class. She created her own business plan and received a grant from the SouthEastern Utah Association of Local Governments which helped to purchase the electronics and equipment to open Crystal Clear Images.
Some special features of this new business will be nature photographs, photo refurbishing, enlargements and lamination. The lamination process she uses incorporates a core backing in the preparation of the print.
To contact Crystal Clear images, phone 435-381-2903 or email email@example.com. The fax number is 435-381-2099.

Jason Gregor
July 08 2013 01:21PM
In the summer of 2001 I met Andrew Ference for the first time. I was working with John Short and Ference had agreed to come down to Northlands and be a guest on Short's show. Ference walked up to our table dressed completely in leather. He'd just turned 22 and finished his 2nd season of pro hockey. He started the season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL, but he finished the year playing 36 games with the Penguins and another 18 in the playoffs.
Life was good for the hockey player who loved riding his Harley.
Since that interview Ference has carved out a pretty good career. He's been to three Stanley Cup finals, winning with the Bruins in 2011, while losing last month and in 2004 as a member of the Flames.
The 208th pick in the 1997 draft has beaten the odds to play 760 regular season games and another 120 in the playoffs. I spoke with Ference on my radio show on Friday and here's what he had to say about coming home to play, winning and leadership.
Jason Gregor: I remember the first time that I met you. You strolled in for the interview covered head to toe in leather. It was quite the outfit.
Andrew Ference: I remember coming down there.
Gregor: Are you still a big Harley guy?
Ference: I am, but you assume I was riding my motorbike, maybe I just wear pretty much leather all of the time. (laughs) I'm actually not riding too much now; those were before kid years so now I have two little girls who keep me busy.
Gregor: I saw you tweet out a picture of yourself as a young boy in an Oilers' jersey when you signed with the Oilers. Outside of winning the Stanley Cup, was signing for your home town team one of the biggest days of your career?
Ference: It sure is, it's really exciting it really is. I didn't know what to expect going into free agency, I'd never gone before. I didn't really know what the process was going to be like but obviously as soon as Edmonton popped up on the radar, it got me really excited. Not only because of my history there, obviously growing up there and the family that I still have in the area, friends that have never been able to wholeheartedly cheer for me on any other team, it's exciting in that, but most of it is with what they (Oilers) had. I mean it was a two day process where I got to talk to the coaches and management and really get a feel for the attitude they want on the club and all of those things together. That's why I'm excited today, there's just so many checkmarks in the pro column.
Gregor: When they talked about the direction of the team, did they talk about you coming in and being a leader? You've been in the Stanley Cup final two out of the last three years; I think that you know how hard you need to work every night to win. Are you going to be called upon to be that vocal guy, maybe challenge your teammates to assure that they're doing what it takes to be successful in the NHL?
Ference: Well if I've learned anything the past few years in Boston it's that teams works really well when there is responsibility on everyone, everyone is accountable and everybody does their part.
There are different personalities in the locker room and definitely mine has been one that has been more vocal in the past, but at the same token, it's just about being you and a lot of that different stuff comes naturally to me. I feel comfortable in that kind of position, but it's a difficult thing to explain to somebody how it works.
You try to create an attitude in the room and an environment where people can perform their best. It's like an energy, it is constant work, and constantly staying on top of it. At the end of the day, it's not about yelling and screaming and doing all of these kinds of things, it's about being accountable and everyone pitching in and doing their job and having a really good work environment where you can get the most out of people. It works differently in every room with the different characters, but I'll definitely bring things that I've seen work first hand whether it be in Calgary or Boston or back in Pittsburgh.
Gregor: How many other teams were knocking at your door?
Ference: There were a few options, like I said, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I really tried to keep it out of my mind throughout the playoffs and for most of the season. I knew that there was a good chance that Bruins wouldn't be re-signing me so I went in with a fresh mind on the options and going through things with my wife once things started.
We definitely had to make a list of the different cities and pros and cons and every city had a different level of interest as well so that definitely weighed in. The Oilers were very awesome with the way that they handled this whole period where I got a chance to talk to Dallas [Eakins] and MacT a lot and get a really good feel for what they were all about. That meant a lot to me, so it wasn't really deciding between different options but I think that the final choice was in my gut right away. I think that once I started talking to the guys, I told my wife earlier that I think that my gut instinct was telling me that this is what we were doing.
Gregor: You shoot left, but are you comfortable playing both sides, or do you prefer left defence over right?
Ference: I've played everywhere over the past few years. Here in Boston you play with different partners and different sides most of the game and rotate between left and right but over the course of my career both left and right for sure.
Gregor: Is there one that you're more comfortable with?
Ference: Yeah, you just do what the coach is telling you [laughs]. That's about where I'm at, I don't know, there are pros and cons to either side, but at this point I just do what is in the best interest of the team.
Gregor: Outside of hockey, you really became involved in the community in Boston. How important do you think that is and how do you ensure that other guys in the team recognize how fortunate you are to be NHL players and how important it is to give back to the community that you play in?
Ference: I mean it went into my decision making for sure, I've been lucky enough. I started in Pittsburgh with Mario [Lemieux] and Jags [Jaromir Jagr] and all of these great players there and the city was fired up about hockey. I was lucky enough to go to Calgary and Boston where people are really passionate about hockey and I wanted to continue that. It's a good feeling to play in a community that cares.
It might be kind of a romantic view, but I really think that is important, sport is more than just entertainment. It does play a role in the city that you're in and you have to show the city that it does come with responsibility.
With all things the years that we've been down here in Boston with the stuff in Newton and obviously with the marathon, sports plays a big role in bringing people together and moving on and trying to heal some of the wounds that remain. That's obviously an extreme example but for me when you play somewhere, you have to dive in and be in all in. And that means not only with the team but it means with the city. I think that you get more out of yourself and out of your team when you do that because it's just part of the full commitment that players and teams need to be successful.
Gregor: You've been on the perennial cup favourite team the past few years, while the Oilers haven't been in the playoffs sincee 2006. How do you ensure your mindset doesn't change from going in every night thinking 'hey we're going to win tonight' to one that "I hope we win.". Can you translate that winning belief around the dressing room?
Ference: Even when you're on a team that has won in the past; nothing is a guarantee in this league. When you win and have success I think that you learn even more how small that line is between successful teams and teams that are struggling; it's extremely small.
We've had some spectacular losses here in a Boston and you learn why that happens and what you let slip. So I think that when people talk about Boston being a contender and all of the experience that guys have, well going back six years when a lot of us started on here, it wasn't a good experience on our team. It took a hell of a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment to turn us into what we've become over the past few years.
I think that you learn a lot of lessons from doing that as a group, and it takes a lot of moving parts. It takes a lot of commitment from the individual players and like I've said, you can turn fortunes around very quickly in this league with changes in attitude, changes in the way that you approach how you view yourself as a team and starting to create an identity. So I think that when you can be a part of that, and we can build towards that, it's a great feeling when you start to see that success. As exciting as that feeling is of having done it and having felt how great it feels to have a city feel proud of the product on the ice, that's more than enough motivation to look to having it happen again.
Gregor: What were your thoughts on all of the stories coming out of Boston after Tyler Seguin got traded?
Ference: Well a lot of them were news to me. So like anything out there, I think that you take it with a huge grain of salt. He's a kid; he had fun around town obviously, and sometimes it showed maybe a little too much, but to be honest with you, maybe I had my head totally in the sand or a lot of the stuff is highly exaggerated, I don't know which one it is. He's the kind of kid that has just an untapped amount of talent, and he could turn into an amazing player.
Like I just finished in my last couple of questions, you have to be fully committed in this league to have success not only as an individual, but as a team. The separation between teams is small, but that separation between a player having a lengthy career and fizzling out, those are also pretty small. You can't come in and just dip your toes into this league and be half in it.
Gregor: You're 34 years old while many of the Oilers key young guys are 20-23years of age. As a leader of a team do you have to remember how you were at that age so you don't expect those guys to just grow up and mature right away?
Ference: Oh without a doubt, I mean it's a learning process and it takes everyone different amounts of time. You have young guys that are so mature and have their business together better than some of the guys who are my age or closer to my age. Some of the guys are on a different pace and everyone has a different personality, you can't just expect everybody to be the same. And actually to the contrary I think that people operate better when they are allowed to be themselves.
But in saying that, I think that if you are a guy that is loose and likes to have fun, that's great, but it has to be in a team first context. I've had a lot of time here in Boston where there is a group of us that have created an atmosphere where there's old guys and young guys and we've had guys like [Mark] Recchi and Jagr come into our team, and everybody had the same expectations. Whether you were old or young, you were expected to commit to the team, you were expected to have input. It wasn't just the old guys that were expected to stand up and say something in the room, it was the young guys as well, it was expected of them.
We all have an equal share once you get on the ice and start playing. We all have equal part on the turnout of the game. If you can get that kind of atmosphere, if you can get that kind of environment, age becomes somewhat irrelevant. Getting your teammates working towards the same goal is obviously way more important.
Gregor: I had an Eastern Conference player describe you like this in a text. He wrote "He's not the most naturally talented player, but he's incredibly hard to play against. He's always in your face." Talk about playing hard rather than playing physical, how is it different?
Ference: Well I think that when you're my size you can't just run around and physically bowl guys over. There is a lot to be said for guys that just don't give up, guys that have a consistent work ethic. I see guys around the league and I know who is hard to play against, the guys that I hate playing against. They're the guys that just don't stop and they never leave you alone and they never give you any room to operate.
If they lose the puck they're right back on you trying to get it back. To me that is what heart is, it's guys that will do anything they can. They're not perfect, and they'll make mistakes, but those guys that work just as hard to cover up their mistakes, or a teammate's mistakes, those are the guys who have long careers in this league.
- Ference isn't afraid to speak his mind and the Oilers need a guy like that. He's proven he understands how competitive you need to be to win every night, and his biggest asset might be that he becomes the Lee Fogolin of this group. Fogolin was the savvy veteran who showed Gretzky et all how to be professionals. He didn't have their skill level, but he taught them to be pros. Ference's biggest contribution to the Oilers will come in the form of a leader and mentor, and not strictly how he performs on the ice.
- Boyd Gordon might be better suited as the Oilers #3 centre than some think. Read here.
- The Oilers re-signed Ryan Jones to a one-year deal over the weekend. He'll make $1.5 million which is a good deal for the Oilers. Last year was virtually a wasted season for Jones. He suffered an eye injury a few weeks before camp started, and they injury didn't allow him to skate or workout for five weeks. When he was finally cleared to train his cardio and strength were weeks behind. He spent the entire year playing catch up. He's in good shape now and he's determined to prove he can score 15-17 goals and be a factor amongst the Oilers' bottom six.
If he still has his Harley, I hope he does the world a favour and ensures that it has an actual muffler on it. Nobody needs to hear your insecurities ripping down the street.
It's good to hear the Oilers gave a good presentation on his visit. I think there is still a bit of a reputation about the management team here (Comrie, Souray, Belanger, etc)
Loud pipes save lives!
It is going to take one heck of a tattoo artist to change that Bruin tat into an Oiler tat.
Loud pipes save lives!
First, its not true, but ever if it were, its not worth it. A few annoying man children lost to protect the rest of the world from having to put up with that crap would be worth it.
I used to ride a lot and never needed to annoy the rest of the world doing so. It's childish.
Seems like a good guy. Too bad his corsi numbers have been terrible the last few years. Hopefully he does better with The Oilers.
July 08 2013, 02:11PM
Is your soapbox not big enough to rag on loud jacked up trucks and rice burners too?
As for Ference, I'm glad he signed here. As Mac has stated since he took over, some of the players on this team appear to be naive as to hard you have to work consistently to win in this league. A guy like Ference, with his tenure, will be able to hold some younger guys accountable.
July 08 2013, 02:49PM
I haven't been this excited over a free agent signing since... Well Justin Schultz last year. But Ference could work wonders for the team. Maybe Justin Schultz will clean up his defensive game with a proper shutdown at his side.
Of the Free Agent Signings we've made, this guy is by far the best. When I heard we got this guy, I got all amped up. The other guys might be able to play and fill some holes, but this guys' personality on the ice makes it for me...plus he's got a sweet playoff beard...let's hope we see it again soon.
Hopefully some of Ference's work ethic and hard on the puck play rubs off on the rest of the team. Too many "cruisers" on this team, Hemsky being the biggest one of them all.I hope Boyd Gordon comes from the same school.
Ference and Gordon the only real signing here, the rest of it fodder and AHL fillers.
Give MacT credit for not blowing his wad on the overpaid and over hyped UFA signings.[ Although not sure what they were offering Clarkson?]
Have to also give him credit for moving the Horcoff contract.
Sounds like he's the kind of player that coulda played with the MacT group back in the early-2000's.
I can live with the B's tat. If he has a Flame's tat, he'd better cover that up with a unicorn.
July 08 2013, 03:51PM
It is the ultimate compliment to Andrew Ference that MacTavish felt he could be that last piece needed for this lineup, and make this team a playoff club again.
Craigs actions speak volumes in this matter,no further changes are required. Sorry Laddy, you're no longer top pairing on this team bud.
That is why there have been no further changes since, right Craig?
I did a group project with Andrew in grade 10 social studies. Of the two of us he did the better job. He's a quality guy. Good sense of humor.
He won't be our Pronger or Chara, but hopefully he will be the glue the D and locker room needs.
He's a great story and hopefully he breaks the jinx of the hometown boy who comes home to only flounder.

agreed, those hoodlums need to stay the f off my lawn
Apart from Gordon and Ference the Oil braintrust continue to piss nary a drop when it comes down to attracting top 6 free agents or top 4 D. It's as though Tambellini has never left. I'm tired of hollow promises. Most of the people drafted/signed are unknowns. If Mac and Lowe are done then I have to think the Oiler's future is done.
They can't draw flies. Nobody skilled enough to matter wants anything to do with an organization run by these guys.
The Souray Part Deux Redux 2.0 signing with less cash on the table.
Works for me, hope it does for everyone else.
Loud pipes save lives!
Bull sh!t!!! Bikers that act like dumb @$$es cost themselves their own lives. The ones that know how to drive save lives. Soap box away now.
I seem to remember Whitney being vocal and look how that turned out. I hope Ference turns out to be the right kind of vocal leader or better yet the "take everybody and make them understand what it really takes to get the hell out of the wasteland" kind of leader! (Not to put to much pressure on him or anything!)
Ference is the leader that has been missing for the past 6 years. If MacT finishes getting out the Old Guard, and he is allowed too, Ference will be one of the guys the take the reins. He's been that guy most of his career.
I can't believe some of the comments I've had to read, of people bad mouthing him. Just proves that most Oilers fan have had too many loosing seasons and don't have any clue as to what it take to win.
Oh and to people slotting him as a 5-6 Dman, give your head a shake. He was in the top 4, on a Stanley cup finalist team, less then a month ago. If the can play there, what in the world make you think he can't do it here.
As I said too many fans that don't have a clue what a winner looks like.
July 08 2013, 07:28PM
This isn't a flyer on a declining player (although we may see the decline at the tail end of the contract).
This is a bonafide NHL blueliner who makes this team better just by showing up.
He's also been running his mouth a LOT about work ethic, so I would expect full effort from a guy who doesn't want to look foolish in front of his hometown fans.
This guy was good enough to play alongside the players you drool over between cheetos and mountain dew.
I, for one, welcome Andrew Ference and can't wait him to see him on the good guys.
In the interview with Horcoff he sounded like he still hadn't come to terms with the 'new NHL' where veterans weren't just automatically handed their spot on the first or second line. Luckily for Ference, his young competition has a lot of experience to gain before they're a threat to him.
Oh, and the South Park episode on the loud biker gang was absolute gold.
Ference brings every element MacT. wants from his players , and priority team play . He's a solid choice(one of MacT. first choices in free agency - medium risk high reward) and his new contact is reasonable if he is able to continue playing well . Getting a UFA here is costly to begin with . The upside is , even with that raise , will he not be as effective or more so than Smid and his contract in comparison ? I believe there is a good chance it will . If he plays as well as or better than Smid , then it is still a value contract with high reward written all over it .
For those of you thinking Smid is hard to replace, he was just replaced by Andrew Ference.
You can never have enough bottom 4 defensemen.

Seeing as you also like Perron (1year and 3 months older than Gagner ) how would you also like to try adding his old centerman M.A.Cliche from L.A. and Manchester of the AHL . As I remember Cliché did only play portion of one game in finals due to injury . Perron carried that club . Cliché is really improving and should be close to cracking L.A. lineup . I'd like to see them reunite here .
He is the next Jason Smith for this team. Gator #2
He is the next Jason Smith for this team. Gator #2
Might be a close analogy , as might Steve Staios . If he plays like they did in most years for us, then that's a plus.
He is the next Jason Smith for this team. Gator #2
Jason Smith retired when he was 35.
Ference will be 35 in February and has another 3 years and a NMC in his contract.

Jason Smith retired when he was 35.
Ference will be 35 in February and has another 3 years and a NMC in his contract.
And Chris Chelios retired at 48, so what??
Jason Smith had a myriad of serious injuries throughout his career. Ference has been relatively healthy, especially over the last 3 years when he might show signs of breaking down. No reason to think Ference cannot contribute for a good part of the next four years.
For those of you thinking Smid is hard to replace, he was just replaced by Andrew Ference.

Lol you are such a troll.

I used to ride a lot and never needed to annoy the rest of the world doing so. It's childish.
Funny. Annoying = noticable. Usually those who are against loud pipes are the type that wear the bright green jackets to be more visible. If one is effective so is the other. Doesn't mean you have to drive like a jackass in residential areas though. Anyways,
I'm a fan of the Ference signing. A top 4D on a perennial cup contender is a welcome sight on a team that did not have 6 healthy NHL defencemen last season. The Oilers could still use a bonafide top 2, but I think we'll have to wait for one to emerge from within the system (hopefully).
Interesting how similar the answers to what kind of player is hard to play against is between Ference here and Horcoff in the other ON article. I hope our young guys develop that relentlessness.
This is a guy who helped a six man unit completely shut down a team stacked with Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Neal, Iginla, Letang and Morrow. Helped hold Pittsburgh to pretty much zero offense in the East Final. If "this" team can't use him then who can?

New Zealand will be eager to claim their 100th Test victory over Australia when the two rivals kick-off the Rugby Championship on Saturday.
New Zealand will be keen to seal their 100th Test victory over Australia when these two rivals kick-off 2013's Rugby Championship in Sydney on Saturday.
Perhaps the century is ten months overdue after they came within a hair's breadth of winning via a late Dan Carter drop-goal in that epic finish in Brisbane? Unfortunately for All Black fans it was not to be as their hopes of 18 straight victories did not transpire as they went north disappointed.
Just three Australian players remain from the XV that drew 18-18 with the All Blacks the last time these two met. They are: Adam Ashley-Cooper, Michael Hooper and James Slipper. New Zealand meanwhile are a great deal more settled, despite losing Liam Messam late in the week to an injury.
However, there is more than a feeling that the Wallabies are not to be written off in this Rugby Championship opener as we all wait to see if Ewen McKenzie can do what he has said he could do for such a long time of Robbie Deans' reign.
His selection, particularly in the backline, is a good start. Jesse Mogg is deserving of a run in the full-back role following an exceptional campaign for the Brumbies. That means Israel Folau shifts out to right wing – there was no dropping him – while the eleven shirt goes to James O'Connor, a place the masses have for a long time viewed as being his best.
The biggest news though came at fly-half where former Reds companion Quade Cooper was overlooked in favour of Matt Toomua, who earns his starting debut. Toomua has formed a formidable midfield combination with Christian Lealiifano that is built on solid defence and that might well have earned him his run. Cooper must make do with the bench.
Toomua is one of five Brumbies in the side and faces a rematch from the Super Rugby Final with Chiefs number ten Aaron Cruden – it is worth noting that just one Chief makes New Zealand's starting line-up against a Wallaby outfit that is looking for their first success over world champions in Sydney since 2008. Should the hosts win they would go above South Africa into second spot in the rankings due to the Boks not being able to pick up points.
Rankings though are now inconsequential ahead of the World Cup as it's all about the here and now as the All Blacks, led by the returning Richie McCaw and once again a group of well-capped internationals, have the experience on their rivals. The familiarity between the front-row whether it be Andrew Hore or Keven Mealamu at hooker, Luke Romano or Brodie Retallick alongside lock Sam Whitelock, or anywhere else for that matter is immense.
Can this Wallaby group blend so soon after being thrown together by McKenzie? Well, few thought Australia would deny the All Blacks in October last year and Steve Hansen is wary.
"The Australians will front up," he told reporters during the week. "There is a lot of emotion. A new coach and whenever that happens there seems to be an uplifting in confidence. So we will need to be on the job for the full 80 minutes to put our stamp on the game."
Ones to watch:
For Australia: The spine of Australia must be strong and with Brumbies quintet Stephen Moore, Ben Mowen, Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano and Jesse Mogg part of it, they won't go far wrong. Mogg and Toomua are our men to keep an eye on as if the duo can reproduce their solid yet enterprising brand, then New Zealand may find themselves in a spot of bother. Mogg glides across the turf and we look forward to see how that back-three goes.
For New Zealand: Called in from the cold so to speak after Liam Messam's injury ruled him out, Steven Luatua gets his second cap on Saturday and is deserving of it following a good year in Auckland. Playing alongside Richie McCaw and Kieran Read could be a catalyst in his international career and with Brad Shields waiting in the wings in the ITM Cup, he knows that the pressure is on to perform. We're sure the 22-year-old won't let anyone down.
Head-to-head: We go to the wing for this one as Israel Folau clashes with Julian Savea. Folau hasn't played much rugby union on the wing so this is something of a test for him. However, judging from the recent British and Irish Lions series he seems to like those. Savea, who is favourite with the bookmakers to be top try-scorer, may have his hands full.

Even the most passionate proponents of digital cinematography will acknowledge that when it comes to picture quality and archival value, film remains the gold standard. But with so many people claiming that it's cheaper to shoot digitally, the folks at ARRI have a comeback: A modification to some of their 35mm cameras now allow them to shoot 2-perforation frames instead of the standard 4 perfs. The previously unused space between frames is eliminated, which cuts raw stock and lab costs in half.
The 2-perf gates are options on the ARRICAM Studio, ARRICAM Lite and ARRIFLEX 235 cameras, and these movements can be quickly and repeatedly exchanged with 3- or 4-perf movements by qualified technicians. With a native aspect ratio of 2.39:1 (slightly wider than the standard anamorphic 2.35:1 aspect ratio), 2-perf delivers a cinematic, widescreen look that takes advantage of the full width of a 35mm frame. "We started with the ARRICAMs because they're our top-of-the-line production cameras and the ARRIFLEX 235 because it's so popular with FX and MOS work," says ARRI President and CEO Glenn Kennel. If the market embraces this option strongly enough, the 2-perf gate may be offered as an option on other 35mm cameras in the ARRI line.
Though the concept of shooting 2-perf frames dates back to the Techniscope format of the 1960s, Kennel says that the combination of new, very-fine-grain film stocks and the emergence of DI postproduction workflows make this technology a viable option for modern filmmakers. The 2-perf pipelines involve no extra work or expense once the decision to go through a DI has been taken. The ARRISCAN film scanner, for example, can scan 2-perf material just as easily as 3- or 4-perf footage. It's a simple matter to create a conventional anamorphic release print from scanned 2-perf images.
The 2 perforation also allows for longer individual takes than with conventional 35mm, as each roll of film effectively lasts twice as long. One production that has already taken advantage of this is the Cannes Caméra d'Or-winner Hunger, on which Cinematographer Sean Bobbitt, BSC shot an entire scene in a single, incredibly tense 20-minute take. For less extreme shots, film magazines on a 2-perf shoot need changing half as often as normal, so the flow of performances is less disrupted –– a fact much appreciated by directors and actors alike.
An ARRICAM Studio fitted with the new movement can achieve running speeds of 1-to-60 fps forward and 24 fps in reverse, while the ARRICAM Lite reaches 48 fps forward and 24 fps in reverse. The ARRIFLEX 235 will run to 75 fps (forward only), and all three cameras can utilize their full range of shutter-opening options. According to Kennel, achieving those higher frame rates was a top priority in developing the 2-perf gates. "At 48 frames, you get half the grain and a much sharper, cleaner picture," he says. Kennel also explains that to get the maximum benefit from this higher frame rate, you have to send it out as a digital cinema package: "If you're in a theater that's already set up for 3D, all you have to do is drop the Z screen, which will enable you to project at 48 fps." Even if you're going to do standard 35mm film projection, shooting at the higher frame rate will result in higher image quality following a down-conversion process, according to Kennel. And with today's technology, that down-conversion process is fairly simple and cost effective.
This year, ARRI raises the bar in digital cinematography with its new ALEXA camera, which features ultrafast workflows and "image quality akin to 35mm film," according to company literature. Michael Bravin, ARRI's VP of market development for digital camera products, showed me some of the new camera's benefits. According to Bravin, ARRI's tradition of building top-quality film cameras for over 90 years was a strong influence on the ALEXA's design.
The camera also incorporates a DTE (Direct to Edit) function, which uses two 32 GB SxS Pro cards that allows footage from the ALEXA to be transferred in full resolution directly into any NLE editing system that supports Apple ProRes 4444 and ProRes 422 (HQ) codecs. Bravin says that the ALEXA gives the choice of using the SxS cards as a primary recording medium or as a proxy. The camera also has uncompressed HD and ARRIRAW formats. ARRIRAW is completely different from the RAW format used by the RED ONE camera. "What we do is take the sensor data right off the 3.5K CMOS sensor and capture it right on a hard drive without any compression or processing," says Bravin. "It's just raw data off the sensor." The camera can record data at 2K or video at 1920x1080.
Bravin anticipates that operators will really appreciate the simplicity of the camera's operation with its control system that uses an LCD panel with soft keys and an easy-to-follow home-menu system that controls things like frame rate, shutter angle, ASA and white-balance settings. With an 800 ASA rating, Bravin says the ALEXA is actually more sensitive than most film stocks and you can shoot from ASA 160 to 2650, giving a full range of ISO settings. "The film-like look is because of the way the imager works with several elements working together to give the smoothest, most organic look we can get," notes Bravin.
More than just a camera, the ALEXA represents an entire image pipeline, and the camera is fully hardware and software upgradeable. Like the RED, the ALEXA uses a modular design to make it easier to swap out and upgrade various components. It also supports a PL mount as well as Panavision, Nikon and Canon lens mounts.
As of press time, the ARRI ALEXA was scheduled to begin shipping in June. Some of the first cameras were shipped to London for Filmmaker Martin Scorsese's upcoming 3D feature Hugo Cabret, due out in December 2011.
Garrett Brown, the Academy Award-winning inventor of the Steadicam, reports that even before he shot Rocky, he had always wanted to shoot from floor to ceiling with a lens. "It's something I've wanted since 1973," he says. But back then, cameras were too heavy to make it work. The range of the Steadicam was from a little below the waist to a little above the head. "That has served us for 85 percent of shots," Brown explains, "but it doesn't mean that it wouldn't be great to be able to go beyond that terrible barrier. We did a rig that was a completely upside-down rig that would let us go from the knee to the waist, but it wouldn't go higher or lower."
Thanks to the new generation of sub-five-pound digital cameras, Brown finally achieved his goal with the introduction of the TANGO, a floor-to-ceiling jib arm extension for the Steadicam that Brown and his colleagues demonstrated at the 2010 Cine Gear Expo. According to Steve Tiffen, president and CEO of The Tiffen Company (which owns Steadicam), the TANGO is a product that's unique to the industry. "The TANGO is a game-changing Steadicam accessory for use with today's miniature HD cameras," Tiffen comments. In terms of usage, Brown predicts early adopters of the TANGO will include people who shoot music videos and other extreme productions. "I think it's going to be a great item in the kit of a Steadicam operator," Brown adds. "All I can do now is think back on the over 100 movies that I shot and what I could have done if I had a TANGO at the time."
The TANGO was designed to provide a comfortable, centered operating position, even at full-up/down boom. It incorporates all-mechanical construction and uses a conventional Steadicam sled plus the six-pound TANGO extension. "There are no electronics, gyros, wiring, connectors or power-hungry components," says Brown. It also has a large-aperture and an interior cable-path for camera/CCU interconnection. "[It will be] surprisingly inexpensive because there's nothing to it: a couple of poles that bolt onto a Steadicam and an extra gimbal or two," Brown adds. "We tried to make it stupidly simple." As of press time, the Steadicam TANGO is still in the prototype stage with shipping and pricing information pending.
For situations where a Steadicam is either unavailable or impractical, productions have to find other solutions. During most of the year, Professor Anthony T. Allegro, PhD is a tenured professor of cinema in the film program at the University of Miami School of Communications. During his academic downtime, Allegro travels around the world making documentaries, often working as a one-man crew. He did this in the summer of 2009 when he shot his documentary Walking with Elizabeth, inspired by a book written by Anglo-Irish Author Elizabeth Bowen that depicts a trip to Rome.
Allegro's mission was to follow in Bowen's footsteps and shoot the sites she described so eloquently in her book. He used a Sony EX1, which has since been replaced by the EX1R. "What's nice about the EX1 is that it enables you to control virtually every imaginable parameter of the photography, including paint settings," Allegro explains. "You can customize settings for different types of scenes, save them then call them up, and the camera automatically is set that way. It makes working very easy and simple." Allegro also likes some of the camera's computerized functions, which he finds very useful, like the ability to preprogram a zoom at the precise focal-length range and speed you want, making it much easier to capture a very smooth move.
One sequence in Walking with Elizabeth was shot in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, where dozens of prominent 18th- and 19th-century literary luminaries, like John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley, are buried. "Because I was working alone without a crew, I was using a very light tripod, which held the camera fine. But if you were to touch the camera, it would begin to shake," says Allegro. "I was able to program the zoom into the camera, framing the beginning and end of the shot so that the shot would zoom into or out from the tomb I was covering. This way it was perfectly focused and perfectly set."
Allegro used the camera's remote so he wouldn't have to touch the camera once everything was set. The camera's computer memorized the speeds and frames that Allegro programmed and held focus perfectly throughout the shot. This allowed Allegro to do other things, like log location and technical information for each shoot and coordinating everything with the preliminary script he kept on a clipboard. After each shot, the camera automatically shut off, and Allegro would then review the shot to decide if a retake was needed.
For Allegro, using the EX1 was similar to having a robotic camera. "It was kind of like having a camera assistant without paying him," he says. "You can customize shots any way you want; have the camera remember those customized settings in files; and then call them up any time you want." When Allegro first bought the camera, he thought that all this technology was overkill: "[I thought], 'Who would want to use these automation features? I can do the zooms myself.' Then when I was on location, I discovered the advantages of having the camera do everything without even touching it."
The aerial team of Camera Copters, Owner/Pilot Paul Barth and Aerial DP Steve Cassidy of Cassidy Productions, was recently selected by Discovery Channel Founder and Chairman John Hendricks to shoot an extensive HD aerial footage package to promote his Gateway Canyons Resort in western Colorado. The sprawling adobe-style resort is part of Hendricks' vision to create a new type of vacation resort that encourages guests to step out of their comfort zones by taking on new adventures while gaining learning experiences within a scenic setting. The resort is located an hour southwest of Grand Junction, Colo. in a very remote location near the Utah border.
As part of the resort, the Experius Academy offers weeklong programs that include lectures from leaders in a variety of fields that discuss compelling issues in science, art, the humanities and civilization. This is combined with outdoor activities like mountain climbing, horseback riding, kayaking and biking.
Dara Padwo-Audick of the Experius Academy was the producer and director for the Gateway shoot. Cassidy shot with his Aerial Filmworks Cineflex HD five-axis gyro-stabilized aerial system, which features the Sony F950 CineAlta camera, and recorded it on a Sony HD field deck. And Hendricks accompanied Barth and Cassidy in the helicopter to direct the aerial sequences.
Camera Copters' custom-built NASCAR-style helicopter transport truck is a full-size 18-wheel semi that was instrumental in the shoot. It arrived with a helicopter that had enough jet fuel to facilitate several days of aerial shooting, which prevented the crew from having to refuel at an airport over 40 miles away. Camera Copters also uses the truck as an on-location base of operations that serves a wide range of clients throughout the U.S.

How Shameful!
What about the poor people! The paper wants to make a profit, what about no profit, where did that go! Doesn't warren buffet, have enough money!?! He can spread the wealth, give the paper and internet away for free, whats the problem( he should also give away a free dinner for each paper also)How are the poor eple going to read all the lock step one sided hate filled chritainfobe, left wing lies if the paper charges for it! shameful, simply shameful!
Times are changing...
Seriously... $2.77 is not a lot of money! And if you already get the paper, you don't have to pay for the online subscription. From what I read, not only do you get access to online but you also get the mobile apps included too! It's not like it's breaking the bank with this cost! It could always be worse.
You're shameful, Shameful!
OK, point by point: 1.)"What about the poor people!" Even with its new pricing model, The News is still a lot cheaper than outlets like cable TV, sattelite radio or national news outlets like the NY Times or Washington Post. Sure, radio is free, but you get a lot more news in the newspaper than you do over the air. 2.)"The paper wants to make a profit, what about no profit, where did that go!" No profit? It's a business, not a charity. I can't think of any business that works for no profit, so...I don't know what you're talking about. 3.)"Doesn't warren buffet, have enough money!?!" This isn't about Warren Buffet. This is about helping the newspaper adapting to a changing media environment. You know, the business that employs hundreds of Western New Yorkers? 4.)"He can spread the wealth, give the paper and internet away for free, whats the problem( he should also give away a free dinner for each paper also)" SPREAD THE WEALTH? GIVE AWAY FOR FREE? What are you, a communist? You want a bunch of crazy left-wing handouts? This is America, not the Soviet Union. CAPITALISTS SELL STUFF FOR MONEY. Come on, I thought you listened to WBEN. 4.) "How are the poor eple going to read all the lock step one sided hate filled chritainfobe, left wing lies if the paper charges for it!" I challenge you to name a single "left-wing lie" in the newspaper. Just one. And if it's so awful, what do you care anyway? Great argument.
You are going to see subscriptions drop dramatically. There is NO WAY I am going to pay $2.77 per week to read an inferior product online.
The medium or the message?
I can only speak for myself, but the issue for me isn't whether I prefer paper or electronic and which one I'm willing to pay for; it's the quality of the product. I don't subscribe to the Buffalo News paper edition because it's not even suitable material to line my guinea pigs' cages with; why would I want to pay for the electronic edition if I don't even want to subscribe to the paper edition? If the publishers put out a really good quality product, I'd be willing to pay for either version.
Buffalo Snooze
The Buffalo News is and remains irrelevant, a real rag.....bring back the Courier Express.........
your paper sucks
75 cents for your paper REALLY
poor people comments
They should be filling out a job application instead
The new business model
I see nothing wrong with The News charging for online access after years of giving it away for free online. $2.77 is a bargain for the paper when many other cities charge a lot more and give you a lot less. I am glad to see the paper adapting so it can continue to be a going concern in the future. As far as it affecting the poor, that is hogwash. $2.77 a week is a cup of coffee at Tim Horton's. Many that claim to be less fortunate seem to be dressed a bit better than I am and make sure they have their beer and cigarettes (2which cost over 10.00 a pack) Get over the fact that you will have to pay to get the news. How were you accessing the news when it was free? How are you affording your internet connection?I am happy to see The News is looking to exist into the future when other decent size cities soon will have no daily paper.
Good Luck Buffalo News, You'll Need It!
They tried this experiment with some newspaper in the NYC area charging a subscription based online paper. They had so few subscribers that they went back to the free online paper. Reason being, there are so many other news sources ie. WBEN that offer it for free. I'll give it a year they will try this stunt and they will fail miserably.
I look forward to my newspaper every day. even though I go on the internet daily I can't go without my newspaper.
Paper needs to make a profit
The paper needs to make a profit or it will disappear like the beloved "Courier-Express". It lost money for years and Cowles Media put it up for barely a month and couldn't sell.

Seriously, wow. I went to Turkey a few years ago and they had a bin full of large, blue cloths for women to cover themselves with. I had brought a smaller shawl that didn't cover all of my shoulders and they told me I had to wear what they had. And I did – not because I think women should be covered, or because it wasn't hot as hell there, or because I'm not kind of grossed out by wearing random clothes. But because it's part of the culture that I wanted to experience, and was necessary, and I'm not so entitled as to think anyone is going to bend centuries old cultural norms for me. Ugh.
Side note – you also have to take off your shoes, so don't be like me and wear sandals (and not bring socks). I still cringe. The carpets were really plush though.ReplyCancel

AC resistance welding control stores weld parameters for 57,600 welds
Entron Controls LLC has released its EN6021 single-phase AC resistance welding control. It comes standard with a weld log that stores 14 weld parameters for the last 57,600 welds made.
Other standard features include a flash drive port, three valve outputs, 16 24-VDC inputs and 16 24-VDC outputs, a sequencer, and four analog inputs and outputs. Optional communication cards can be used to communicate via Modbus or EtherNet/IP with Allen-Bradley PLCs to implement schedule changes, data retrieval and remote I/O.
