EXETER — District 23 Senate candidates Russell Prescott and Carol Croteau went back and forth disagreeing on most issues during Tuesday evening's candidates forum at Town Hall.
Prescott, the incumbent senator seeking his second term, said he would continue to focus on jobs and the economy if re-elected and stressed that he would like to bring another job fair to Exeter, as he did during his last term in office.
Income, sales tax:
Balanced the
state budget:
State retirement system:
Reform it
Right to Work:
Restoring UNH funding cut:
Same-sex marriage:
Keep it
Expanded gambling:
Croteau, who has never held public office but previously worked with the Legislature to pass the state's anti-bullying law, agreed that jobs and the economy were important but said investing in education was the way to attract businesses, not holding job fairs.
"I want to let people know that I'm very committed to the investment of education," the Kingston Democrat said. "When we have a well-educated work force that also brings business to New Hampshire."
Exeter Selectman Dan Chartrand said he was "astonished" that Prescott voted for a budget that decreased the cigarette tax and cut nearly $55 million to the University System of New Hampshire.
Prescott stressed that the state Senate's budget didn't include the 10-cent reduction of the cigarette tax, noting the tax cut came out of the Committee of Conference on the budget.
"It was a compromise between the House and Senate to pass a balanced budget," he said. "It came down to a 'yes' and 'no' on the budget in its final form and I voted 'yes.'"
The Kingston Republican went on to say he believes the reduction of the tax has been a failure. Croteau criticized Prescott for accepting the compromise.
"If it were me, I would've fought harder to make sure it was taken out of the budget," she said.
In regard to the cuts to the University System of New Hampshire, Prescott said the spending reduction actually represents 3 percent of the university system's funding. He said lawmakers felt it was an appropriate cut and it gave the university system an opportunity to raise more funding privately and cut their expenses. Prescott said he also made attempts to lessen the cuts but his proposed budget amendments were voted down.
Croteau said she would like to see the funding to the university system restored and recommended raising the cigarette tax to help make that happen.
Prescott and Croteau were asked their positions on a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban an income tax in New Hampshire.
Prescott said such an amendment would set a higher bar in terms of showing the state's commitment for not imposing an income tax.
"I voted to put that on the ballot," he said. "I believe people should be able to vote on it."
Croteau said she is against an income or broad-based tax but thinks a constitutional amendment would go too far.
"It's not fair if we change our Constitution to buckle other generations, it's not our place to do that," she said.
The two candidates also sparred over the downshifting of retirement contributions from the states to cities and towns.
Prescott said the work that lawmakers did to protect communities from hundreds of thousands of dollars in new "spiking" pension costs will offset new costs from downshifting. But Croteau disagreed, noting that some communities have already said there is a budget impact for them as a result of the downshifting.
Following the Senate candidate's forum, the eight candidates fighting for four seats in House District 18 in Exeter had a chance to take questions from the crowd. The Exeter News-Letter and the Exeter Area General Federation of Women's Clubs sponsored Tuesday night's forums.

High Knob on the Catoctin Mountain Loop in Gambrill State Park with Optional Post Hike Meal! A Moderate 5 Mile Hike with 7 Mile Option
This hike is in Gambrill State Park, located 45 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. Pretty much in Frederick.
A circuit along and beside the ridge of Catoctin Mountain through mature hardwood forest, offering excellent views east and west. This hike along Catoctin Mountain offers plentiful, sweeping views north and west of South Mountain, home of the Appalachian Trail. On the hike's return on the east side of the ridge are scenes of the Monocacy River watershed. The views west are slightly marred by the distant sounds of I-70, which passes below about 3 miles to the west. But the sounds on the east side of the ridge are more likely to be those of woodpeckers and barred owls. © Copyright David Edwin Lillard Published by Falcon Publishing. All Rights Reserved.
Click Here to see Some Pics From a Past Hike We Enjoyed on This Trail
Three native stone overlooks, strategically located on the 1600-foot summit of High Knob, midway between the Mason-Dixon Line and the Potomac River, offer excellent and exciting views of the surrounding area. On a clear day, looking north, a visitor can see the rugged tree-covered mountains of the Frederick City Municipal Forest, one of the State's best managed watersheds. Looking south, one can see Crampton's Gap, a Civil War Landmark and the site of Gathland State Park, and the Middletown and Monocacy Valleys. South Mountain, where many engagements between Confederate and Union troops took place during the Civil War, can be seen to the West.

Sorry but it's the radical left that's using fear mongering to confiscate law abiding citizens guns.
Want proof that gun control fails everywhere it's put in practice just look at the gun crimes stats for evey major city where gun control is strict.
Fact is people are safer without gun control laws and the criminals know this.
Same reason criminals stay out my area; they know we're all armed and will shoot intruders.

Oh my god. Thank you so much. This is just so amazingly cool okay, asdfghjkl. If I had a "to do before I die" list, then going to an amusement park with you would be on it. And I already knew that you'll force me into the haunted house asap, you bastard. And us ending up in Brennenburg castle would probably result in either A. Lot's of high-pitched screaming from us both or B. complete badassery when we do what Daniel failed at doing, actually picking up the weapons in the castle and then defend ourselves. Probably both. I love you.
We would be freaking warriors from the future, ok. We'd be total BAMF's for sure. +_+
Oh and here's the drawing without the background, in case you wanted that too. I don't know. I'll just throw it in here because it's brighter and less scary(?) - mweheh.
The day we go to an amusement park together will without a doubt be one of the best days in my life. I can't wait for that day to come. I love you too, girl. ♥

Drive size is important
Drive size is important whilst benchmarking as the lower capacity drives have less chips rather than smaller ones. This means you can have fewer active data paths and so the smaller drives are slower. 3 of the 7 drives in this test used larger drives and so they will show greater performance than you would have seen with all 128GB drives. So its not exactly a fair comparison.
Flippin yanks
UK site, prices qoted in GBP so why are the links to amazon.com not .co.uk?
Couple of tips...
I bought a 40GB SSDNow about 18 months ago, best/biggest I could afford without various TRIM and stuttering issues. Promptly installed Windows 7 on it and it really will transform your computer!
Bear in mind, by default, Windows will create a swap file and a hibernate file the same size as the RAM in your PC, in my case, it created 2x 8GB files, that is instantly 16GB of the 37GB available plus Windows itself. Add in Apple and Chrome creating all their data files on the C partition without asking and you will run out of space very, very fast!
I've made my swap file 512MB, switched off hibernate and system restore and used 'mklink' to create junction points to move things like Apples backups to the spinning disks. Happy enough at the moment but currently looking at drives around the 120GB mark. It's also worth noting that many controllers perform much worse with smaller drives so if you are comparing performance figures, it must be on the size of the drive you are considering.
As above
Using these drives for backup is ridiculous. Use 2TB drives in RAID-1 instead.
These drives are performance enhancers, not volume storage.
At normal usage levels (ie not hammering them with 100GB of backup data per night) this current generation of SSDs should last about 10 years according to most recent studies on the subject.
Remember, mechanical drives fail too. Often well before 10 years if they are in regular use. The difference with an SSD is that the moment of failure is (usually) predictable and measurable.
In terms of power, SSDs generally use a little less than mechanical drives.
All current generation should have TRIM support, with some of the newer/newest ones not really even needing it as the controllers have started running their own garbage collection.
I think Tom's or Anand has much more info on the topic - and apologies in advance if I'm not exactly accurate with my comments above.

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson promises to start producing
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @skygraemebailey. Last Updated: October 29, 2012 9:53am
Adam Johnson: Ready to offer more
Sky Bet
Football Betting
Sunderland winger Adam Johnson admits he needs to work harder for the team following his big-money summer move.
The England winger cost £10million but, unlike fellow summer signing Steven Fletcher, Johnson has yet to really get going on Wearside.
The 25-year-old admits he needs to improve but is confident he and his fellow midfielders will soon start producing chances on a regular basis.
"I must work harder," he told The Sun.
"There are a lot of things we can do better. We haven't created that much going forward but hopefully that will change and we'll be able to score a few more goals.
"Sometimes it's the way teams set up against us because they know we're a threat, especially with the front four we've got and when me and James McClean stay wide.
"We've got Fletch plus Stephane Sessegnon and Louis Saha, who are proven quality goalscorers, but we need to create more chances.
"Me and James on the flanks - and the other midfielders - need to work harder for the strikers. Hopefully it will come."
Johnson also backed Irish winger James McClean to start reproducing the form which he showed last season.
"I remember when I was just coming through," he said.
"As wingers you can get frustrated. I could see a bit of that with him but he's strong enough."

Similar to years past, we're going to be featuring each of the 25 titles on the BTBA Fiction Longlist over the next month plus, but in contrast to previous editions, this year we're going to try an experiment and frame all write-ups as "why this book should win." Some of these entries will be absurd, some more serious, some very funny, a lot written by people who normally don't contribute to Three Percent. Overall, the point is to have some fun and give you a bunch of reasons as to why you should read at least a few of the BTBA titles._

Georg Letham: Physician and Murderer by Ernst Weiss, translated by Joel Rotenberg
Language: German
Country: Moravia
Publisher: Archipelago
Pages: 560
Why This Book Should Win: Again with the Mad Scientist!; Archipelago titles are always contenders; the novel is long, engrossing, gothic, and classic.
Today's entry is from Bill Marx, who is a BTB judge, editor of Arts Fuse, and runs PRI's The World: World Books. He also teaches at BU.
You wouldn't know it from the myopic reviews, at least the ones that I have read, but Georg Letham is one of the greatest horror novels of the 20th century. (Probably the greatest—name the contenders.) Not horror in the adolescent Stephen King/H.P. Lovecraft mode of rampaging monsters, but in the scientific romance genre, a modernist version of the Gothic mythopoetic imagination found in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and H. G. Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau. It sits proudly with those wonderful books, daring to go to hallucinogenic extremes when linking the sadistic depths of the scientific mentality with the amorality of modern life.
Because it was published in 1931 by a Czech-Jewish writer and deals with a "mad" homicidal doctor (a bacteriologist), who wants to benefit a mankind he feels nothing for, the critical tendency has been to see the story as a expose of the fascist mentality, which it is, and as a Freudian nightmare, which it isn't. Or that is the least interesting reading of this jaw-dropper of a book, as exemplified by the dreary Nation piece that reduces Weiss's fascinating narrative into a mirror of the process of psychoanalysis.
Weiss's vision in Georg Letham is not rote Freudian; it is firmly in the social critique/ apocalyptic Darwinian mode. "Can man triumph over nature?" asks Georg. "Never. He, man, is only an experiment on the part of nature, the terrible." Thus evolution (or God) may be experimenting with pitiless objectivity on us, generating humans out of animals. And the terrible is woven into everything we think and do: the predominate metaphor in the novel—repeated to the point of saturation—is the degrading/violent transformation of humans into animals (rats and frogs dominate) and animals into humans (a "feminist" retelling of Adam and Eve stars two rats in a pit and ends with the female gobbling up the male). Tossed into prison for killing his wife (because she nauseates him), Georg ends up looking for a cure for Yellow fever in the tropics (fire), with a memorable flashback to his brutal father fighting an army of rats during a hellish expedition to the North Pole (ice).
Some warnings before tackling Georg Letham—its structure is lumpy, little more than a series of set pieces that are of novella length. And if you have an abnormal fear of rats and love dogs you will have a very hard time, though the victims dish out some payback to their not-so-fittest tormentors. Adventurous readers with stout temperaments will find this gruesome diagnosis of modernity worthy of Nietzsche ("herd mentality") and sociologist Max Weber. The latter summed up Georg's dissociated type perfectly: "specialists without spirit, sensualists without heart," though as an unreliable narrator Georg is self-consciously (and poignantly) aware of his lack of humanity. Weber also refers to civilized men as souls trapped in "the polar night of icy darkness." Georg Letham is a demanding but magnificent deep freeze of a novel, classic horror served zero to the bone.

Pacesetter Pre-Intermediate Teacher's Book
A multi-syllabus, briskly-moving course for teenagers.
- Part of: Pacesetter
- Level: Pacesetter Pre-Intermediate
- Pages: 191
- Binding: Paperback
- Dimensions: 276x219 mm
Pacesetter is a four-level course for teenagers with a communicative approach.
New language is presented in contexts relevant to teenagers and in ways which actively involve students in the learning process.
Where to order
Contact your local Oxford office or distributor for information or advice on any of our materials, or to find your local ELT bookseller.Part of... Pacesetter
Tab 1
- Grammar is the starting point of the syllabus. The problem-solving approach to grammar helps students to work out for themselves the meaning and use of structures. Practice activities help students use the grammar in everyday situations.
- Motivating topics draw on students' own experiences and develop their interest in the world around them.
- Integrated skills work presents students with a variety of activities that develop their confidence and fluency in speaking, reading, writing and listening. The variety of texts, discussions and dialogues is supported by practical tasks that help students to use and understand the new language.
- A systematic vocabulary syllabus combined with learning-to-learn skills encourage students to develop their own strategies for remembering new words.
- A lively photo-story in the first two levels presents informal language and a cultural reference as it follows the everyday lives of a group of British teenagers. The two upper levels contain a series of free-standing short stories which develop extensive reading skills.
- Practical 'Learn to learn' features help students to develop their study skills, record new vocabulary and organize their language learning.
- You can start the course either with Pacesetter Starter, which is for beginners, or Pacesetter Elementary, which is suitable for those who have achieved a basic level of English.
- A helpful review section at the end of each unit summarizes the main learning points and provides a reference for revision work.
- Three consolidation units in each level revise key grammar points, vocabulary and dialogues through controlled and freer activities. The projects at the end of these units provide an opportunity for students to produce more substantial and personal pieces of work.
Tab 2
A four-level course that takes teenage students from beginner to intermediate level.
Each level contains fifteen teaching units and three consolidation units.
Pacesetter is designed for mid-teen students who are highly-motivated and academic. The content is challenging and the language teaching moves at a quicker pace than in titles that were developed for markets where there are low expectations of students.

Building on a similar global effort (Mapping current threats and impacts of human activities on global marine ecosystems this project will map current threats and impacts of human activities on the California Current marine ecosystem. The project will first survey experts in six subregions of the California Current to explore geographic variation in the effects of threats. A workshop will then be held to use decision theory to evaluate the tradeoffs of using expert opinion to assess threats and associated impacts. Data on ecosystems and threats will be gathered at resolutions of approximately one square kilometer. By synthesizing information and inferences regarding anticipated impacts of threats, project participants will develop a spatially-explicit understanding of the distribution and magnitude of human threats in the California Current. Project collaborators are based at University of California, Santa Cruz; The Nature Conservancy; University of California, Santa Barbara; and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Ever since the Internets got word that Harmony Korine was making a movie called Spring Breakers featuring Selena Gomez, Gucci Mane and an insane-looking James Franco, the rapper/human meme Riff Raff has been taking credit for inspiring the role, even saying that he was offered it first but had to turn it down because he was in Europe.
In an interview with Fuse that hit the web yesterday, Riff said, "Obviously, the style is based on me. Obviously. I don't have to say that. People see the pictures, they think it's me." Last May, Franco denied claims that he was playing the Los Angeles-based rapper, telling GQ that the character was mostly based on, "This local Florida rapper named Dangeruss. He's fairly unknown, but he was down there in the place, living the life, and he became the biggest model for me and he's in the movie."
I did some research, and it turns out Dangeruss is an unsigned rapper from St. Petersburg, Florida, who, like Franco's character—named Alien in the film—is covered in mismatched tattoos and seems to have an aversion to shirts. Little is known about Dangeruss, but here's what I found out:
—He has 119 followers on Twitter.
—He loves cutlery and cookware.
—He looks like a racially ambiguous Gunplay.
—He has a mixtape on DatPiff called Armed and Dangeruss which has been downloaded 99 times. (Go ahead! Be the 100th!)
—He's really excited about Spring Breakers: most of the posts on his Facebook are related to the film, as is his "About" information on YouTube.
—He's one of those white rappers who, confoundingly enough, seems to be allowed to say the n-word and not get beaten up.
—His studio looks like DJay's in Hustle & Flow.
—He's kinda scary (I don't have a specific link for this. Just watch every Dangeruss video.)
Complicating the story further is the fact that Riff Raff and Korine recently appeared on the cover of Sneeze together, taking part in a joint interview claiming Franco was playing a character based on a bunch of white rappers from the South and Riff was simply slated to play a member of Franco's posse. Riff Raff has tweeted and instagrammed his disagreement with all of this, but he might just be doing it for the publicity.
Anyways, here's the best Dangeruss song. It's called "My Fork," and it appears to be a thinly-veiled metaphor about cooking crack.
Martin Spasov lives in Brooklyn. Far, far away from Dangeruss. Twat him at @RealMarvon

Capitals Defeat Bruins 3-2, Ruin Playoff Clinching Hopes
Published: Thursday, March 29, 2012
Updated: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:04
With just six games left in the regular season, the Boston Bruins had a chance to clinch a playoff berth Thursday night. This has to be somewhat of a relief for what was an up and down season for the Bs, that saw injury after injury and some rough streaks for the team.
Before they could capture a playoff spot, they would have to get through the Washington Capitals. The Capitals are also fighting for the eighth spot in the playoffs, trailing the Buffalo Sabres by two points. Could the Bruins overcome a desperate and fighting team?
Head Coach Claude Julien said of the matchup prior to the game "Clinching a spot is the right thing, and you're playing a team that's really battling hard to get themselves in the playoffs. We all know here, and we can say it and pretend it's just smoke coming out of my mouth, but this team here is going to be tough to play against tonight."
Five minutes into the first, there was only shot on the board, and it belonged to Capitals Alexander Ovechkin. It was a slow period for shots all around. Past the half way mark there were just three shots with two belonging to the Bruins and no goals for either team.
Then with six minutes left, the Bruins had a frightening moment as defensemen Adam McQuaid was checked into the boards by Capitals' Jason Chimera. Chimera was tossed from the game with a misconduct for charging.
Following this the Bruins went on the powerplay, during which time Washington pulled starting goalie Tomas Vokoun for Michal Neuvirth. The Bruins could not capitalize on the powerplay and would end the period tied at zero and potentially down yet another player.
The second started with both teams needing to pick up the pace, and the game remained goalless. The Bruins also received some bad news as it was confirmed that McQuaid would not return to the game. The Bruins had the edge over the Capitals for much of the period as they doubled Washington's shots, 13-6 past the halfway mark. But either way, neither team could break the deadlock.
David Krejci was sent to the penalty box at 11:08, giving Washington their first powerplay of the game. The Bruins special teams came through on the penalty kill, not even allowing a shot on goal. The clock dwindled down and the teams left the ice at the end of the second still scoreless.
The third period was underway. Bruins got a great chance early on as Benoit Pouliot fed Patrice Bergeron the puck in front of the net, but Washington goalie Neuvirth poked it away. There was a tie break finally at 7:59 in the third; unfortunately for the Bruins it was the Capitals who broke it. Former Bruin Dennis Wideman would be the one to break the tie, with assist from Ovechkin and Marcus Johansson.
The Capitals would quickly add to their lead when Johansson scored a goal of his own. In the blink of an eye, the scoreless game was changed and the Bruins trailed by two with less than a period to go. At 16:50 the Bruins would tack on a goal by David Krejci on a tip in by a Chara blast. Just as it began to look like the time clock was going to end the Bruin night, Andrew Ference tied things up.
The game was ready for overtime. Bruins took charge in OT, but couldn't get the crucial goal. There was a scramble in front of the net as the seconds dwindled down, but the Bruins couldn't capitalize.
And so the game went to a shootout. Bergeron and Tyler Seguin both scored for the Bruins, Alexander Semin and Matt Hendricks. But after both teams managed to go 2 for 3 in the shootout it would be the Capitals' Brooks Laich who sealed it. Just like that the Bruins lost the game and remain one point away from clinching a playoff spot.

This week we made a 30sec TVC for Fairfax Media through Whybin/TBWA. While the pre production was drawn out the two shoot days were so much fun we all had sore cheeks from laughing. The spot, which I directed, was made up of a series of cute/funny/awkward scenarios people find themselves in when overly absorbed in their hand held devices. While we had clear scenarios we were a light and nimble crew which meant we could adapt and add shots to capture unexpected lovely and funny moments – the current offline edit is already looking amazing and the client is stoked. Looking forward to posting the finished result. And just to bring it all home we also shot a stills campaign along side the TVC. We got amazing shots and is a testament to having the same crew/director handle both aspects. Thanks go out to James from Maven Productions, the AMAZING crew, and Jono/Cimo/Honae from the agency and Helen/Amanda from Fairfax for letting us run with what felt right on the shoot days.
Our Easter Show TVC for the Royal Agricultural Society finally made it to air – produced on a very tight budget its a pretty good step up from where they have been in the past…flying pigs and all that. There was quite a bit of pre production planning to ensure the live action and 3D animation meshed seamlessly.Thanks to James from Maven Productions, the Chee's and a great crew who worked an extremely long day to bring it all together. Well done.
Recently we shot/directed a 30 and 15″ TV ad for the Royal Easter Shows 2013 campaign. We had to set up the show…with out setting up the show! It was a MASSIVE day!. The CD made the comment that he doesn't think he has seen that many shots fit into one day before – Well its called Daylight saving and a LEGENDARY crew!!! The spots had some very technical aspects to them as we were mixing live action and 3D animation…then we had the deadly 3: kids/animals/outside locations. But we pulled it off. The spots are now in post production and looking great. Thanks go out to our amazing crew, Maven, Chee Productions and the agency Deepend. Stay tuned to see it on air…hopefully not to client affected!
Howdy – early December we shot a new TVC for Bay Leather Republic. Initially the brief was for a 15″, but it quickly became apparent that a 30″ was in order. I think the results look great and it represents my 4th TVC in a directing role – hey this directing thing may actually catch on! (while on the topic – we are shooting another TVC for the Sydney Easter Show in Jan)
Many thanks go out to James from Maven and all the crew for a fantastic job. Also many thanks to CD Dan Mercer (from the agency: Strategy Design & Advertising) for being a blast to work with. Enjoy
The boys and I recently shot Clarkey and Glenn McGrath. It was on the back of a TVC for Toyota and, as usual, we had only 10mins to get the shots – but due to the TVC running a little over we got what we needed in 8 min – all went well and everyone was really happy. Above are some behind the scenes photos.
I'm a bit late in posting this but the Port Macquarie Tourism TVC 'Little Treasures' went live (about a month ago) – The guys a Port Macquarie Tourism and people in the region are loving it as a fantastic, realistic and fresh way to illustrate what they already know: the Port Macquarie area is dreamy and beautiful… and yes you can also get great coffee from the many cool cafes…ticks all the boxes really. I have posted the TVC on my site (Commission>motion) or you can click vid thumb above or see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6gQu6zVSe8
My site also has some of the recent print work (just in rough layouts) that we shot at the same time as shooting the TVC.
I also suggested that we create a downloadable PDF that shows people where each each scene from the TVC was shot – the idea being, that if interested, someone could download a map and take the journey we did – it's called 'The little treasure trail' The guys at PM tourism loved the idea and it has turned out to be a great little tourism initiative: you can check it out here: Little Treasure Trail
Well we are not long back from a fantastic shoot for Port Macquarie Tourism – where we had an unprecedented 7 days of pure clear skies and toasty sun. We were shooting a TVC that I thankfully got to write and direct along with fitting in a stills campaign at the same time. The shoot went really well and we have a very happy client as we fitted a lot in for their budget. A huge thanks goes out to the crew and talent who made it yet another truly fun experience. Look for the TVC on air later this year.
Here's a sneak preview of couple of images from the project I am currently working on titled: Made by Man. The project will be shot over a few years and attempts to illustrate the beauty that us, as humans, can add to the natural landscape…but only if we think carefully about it! I love wind turbines – when I first see them they always catch me by surprise as their abstract beauty reminds me of an alien from 'war of the worlds'. The images are shot using an Arca Swiss 6×9 field camera with a various high end digital backs – showing them small doesn't really do them justice as they are shot to print huge….but hey this is just a sneak preview. hope you like
It seems that I lucked out and got into the finalists for the 2012 National Portrait Prize that will be exhibited by the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
The image of mine above is of an indigenous cattle handler working in the Northern Territory.
Well lucky for us. Our little 45″ TVC creation for Northern Territory Tourism picked up a few awards and nominations. nice!
TThis project came about after Richard from Department of Doing presented the Darwin behind the scenes video we had made to the NT Client. He loved it and they loved it and thought the technique would work well for their next TVC featuring the Red Centre. The brief was essentially "show a couples journey from Alice Springs to Uluru (Ayers Rock) , shot from one of their POV's" (you can see the finished result in the commissioned (motion) section of my site). We also managed to somehow fit in a stills shoot along the way.
As can probably be appreciated from the BTS video – The project was the most fun any of us had on a shoot – we stayed everywhere from nice hotels to being choppered up to a mountain ridge in the middle of wayout back NT where we slept in swags under the night sky. I pass on a huge personal thanks to my friends who all gave blood, sweat and tears to make the project such a success: Pete, Dave, Chris, Chris T, Megan (who was like 5 months pregnant when shot it!). A huge thanks also to our amazing talent Alex and Grant and of course Richard and NT Tourism for having the faith in us to be able to pull off the project.
I was stoked to see my image of MAYA get selected for the Sydney Life exhibition in Hyde Park. The images are huge (3 x 2 meters) and strung up between the trees lining the main walk through the park. Its a beautiful way to see your work, its also great to anonymously watch others checking it out and adding their interpretation. The caption running with the image was: The end of a long day at the weekend markets, while Maya is not so sure how she feels…her mother knows.
This backstage video is from our Tourism Northern Territory DARWIN shoot. It was the first job that we had done for them through our new friend Richard Hollingum who is the director of 'Department of Doing' their creative agency. A fantastic time time was had by all and the fun ranged from hanging out of helicopters to BBQ'ing at sunset on a 100 hundred year old pearl lugger.
Well this was a surprise – Advertising photographer of the year – thats great…i think! What i was more excited about was that the Red Centre TV ad that we made got runner up in the Fusion category (Fusion= combining stills and motion techniques). What was interesting was that it received a mark of 85 (silver distinction) but the winning piece got a mark of 80…not sure how that works! But it was a great night and I feel very happy to be recognised by the AIPP.
Above is a pic from the stage (scarrrry!) and a pic of my new stage friends.

I may be stating the obvious here, but stay with me: most people reading this right now probably own a number of expensive gadgets - for example, a phone, a digital camera, or an MP3 player. It's also safe to say that just about everyone who isn't living under a rock knows that liquids and electronics rarely go well together. So then, what's a gadgeter to do when they expect to encounter liquids but want to keep using their electronics?
A company called DryCorp thinks it has the answer with its DryCase, which is exactly what it sounds like: a clear case that keeps your electronics dry.
