Safe driving pays off for Vancouver man
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Salmon Creek — Vancouver truck driver Mark Tillitt was awarded $10,000 in October from J.B. Hunt Transport for racking up 2 million miles of safe driving for the company. Tillitt, who has worked for J.B. Hunt since 1987, is one of only 375 drivers in the company's history to reach 2 million miles without an accident or other road mishap. He reached that count in 2011, but wasn't awarded his bonus until J.B. Hunt's annual ceremony in mid-October. J.B. Hunt spokeswoman Kelsey Cox said it usually takes 8 to 10 years for a driver to achieve 2 million safe miles.

9 Mar 2010, 10:16 amScratching the barrel for Dragons
9 Mar 2010, 13:37 pmAs an irish girl we are rubbing our hands and laughing at the fact that the mighty england have to resort to these kinds of tactics to field a competive team, even more funny is that they are still strugglging to beat teams in the top 7 or 8 of the IRB rankings…
it was great to read the media here in london talk up their chances of a 6N grand slam though!!!
9 Mar 2010, 13:48 pm@Maria: check the 6N table
9 Mar 2010, 14:38 pm@scar: If they decided to dip into their own barrel, they'd probably have better results. Mercernaries will never add anything to a national team, unless they're exceptioal players – Flutey, et al, are not exceptional players. I know many would disagree with me, but I think players should only be allowed to represent the country in which they were born. There'd definitely be more dedication…
9 Mar 2010, 15:34 pm@SimiJan: A question then of which empty barrel they scrape!!
10 Mar 2010, 01:24 amIts amazing how some players deserve their 100 caps, while others do not.
10 Mar 2010, 08:13 amBOD definitely deserves 100 caps, for years he was a 1 man team for Ireland. Has never been in the team because of reputation or lack of competition and has been in the "world class" category now for at least 10 years. Chris Patterson and John Hayes however….
10 Mar 2010, 14:22 pm@SimiJan:
I agree. Flutey for example is only playing for England becase he was living there for years so qualified. As soon as he starts playing for England he moved off to France.
Have your say

Abraham Inc. to Appear at The Strathmore
Thursday, 05 April 2012 19:25 Published in Arts & Entertainment
Aural alchemist David Krakauer, co-conspirators hip-hop beatmaster Socalled and legendary funk and jazz trombonist Fred Wesley (of James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic fame) have teamed up to create the masterful collaboration of Abraham Inc. – a genre-clasing mix of klezmer, funk and hip hop that has been taking audiences by storm.
The group is poised to prove its mettle again when they make their debut performance in D.C. with a hand-clapping, hip shaking, head bouncing dance parfty, slated for 8 p.m., May 3 at the Strathmore's Music Center stage.
The Washington DCJCC's Washington Jewish Music Festival is a promotional partner for Strathmore's highly-anticipated presentation.Julliard-trained clarinetist Krakauer founded Abraham Inc. in 2006 with Socalled and Fred Wesley. By embracing myriad genres, the group is "connected with something deep, mysterious, and timeless...as ancient as the sound of the Shofar...yet as modern as the...young hipsters at downtown venues" (Jazziz). The band released its debut album, Tweet Tweet, in 2010.
Krakauer is praised internationally for his "prodigious chops" (The New Yorker) and "soulfulness and electrifying showiness" (The New York Times). He is one of the world's leading exponents of Eastern European Jewish klezmer, plus a major voice in classical music and avant-garde improvisation.
Virtuoso Fred Wesley is renowned for his work with James Brown, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins and the Count Basie Orchestra. Multitalented Canadian hip-hop renegade Socalled is chiefly an accordionist and beat architect, and brings unparalleled versatility to the group with his skills as a pianist, composer, arranger, rapper, photographer, filmmaker and producer.
The trio will perform with rapper C-Rayz Walz, guitarists Sheryl Bailey and Allen Watsky, bassist Jerome Harris, trumpeter Freddie Hendrix, percussionist Michael Sarin, and saxophonist Brandon Wright.
Orchestra and Orchestra Tier accommodations for the event will be sold as unassigned General Admission tickets for standing and dancing. The Promenade, Grand Tier and Upper Tier levels will be assigned seating.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call (301) 581-5100 or visit www.strathmore.org.
Marion Barry, former District of Columbia mayor and veteran council member, easily defeated his four opponents in April 3 Democratic primary for the Ward 8 D.C. Council race. The win enables Barry, 76, who served four terms as mayor, to return to Council chambers for a third consecutive term after winning 73 percent of the vote.
In other Council races, voters favored Muriel Bowser (D) to retain her seat as the Ward 4 representative, while at-large incumbent Vincent Orange (D) narrowly edged out opponent Sekou Biddle (D), with 41 percent of the vote. Biddle garnered 40 percent of the votes but overall, Orange won by 500 and reportedly, a recount could be on the way.
U. S. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) ran unopposed and therefore, will return to her office on Capitol Hill.
Donna Edwards (D) gets another chance to serve the 4th Congressional District in Maryland, and Senator Ben Cardin -- who had the support of Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and former NAACP chief Kweise Mfume -- is poised to compete for a term in the Maryland senate race.
On the national level, Mitt Romney won Wisconsin, the District of Columbia and Maryland in his quest for the GOP presidential nomination.
The spring edition of "The Red Tent Symposium for Women" returns with even more interactive and inclusive and interactive workshops, lectures and a special Pre-Tent Pampering Session.
The Symposium's motto is "Problem-Solving Outside of the Framework." The two-day exchange, which takes place in the District of Columbia April 13-15, focuses on the needs of women and will also include storytelling, panel discussions and a pop-up marketplace.
Based on the novel, "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant, the red tent symbolizes a sacred and safe space where women can exchange ideas and insights.
According to Symposium creator Risikat "Kat" Okedeyi, "The red tent symbolizes exchange. It isn't a conference, but a genuine healing experience in a safe and sacred space."
Okedeyi added that, "I want women to get past that idea that gathering in this way requires perfect hair, make-up, a smart looking outfit and a stiff handshake. We are about comfort and ease, embraces and honesty. In the tent the teacher/student/leader/follower are purposely blurred so that as women we can recognize our full potential."
Empowerment Movement: 1 Million Registered to Vote on Easter Sunday
Tuesday, 03 April 2012 18:54 Published in NationalA coalition of African-American clergy is behind the launch of a new faith-based voting initiative, "The Empowerment Movement," which endeavors to get one million people across the country registered to vote on Easter Sunday.
The Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant, pastor of the Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, Md., has been named president of the organization. Its mission in the massive undertaking --which came to fruition when Bryant met with Baltimore-area ministers to discuss highunemployment and restrictive voter ID laws -- challenges every black church in the United States to register 20 people on April 8.
"In 1965, Rev. Martin Luther King, a Baptist, Rev. Joseph Lowery, a United Methodist, and Andy Young, a Disciples of Christ preacher, walked out of an AME Church and marched together in Selma for voting rights," Bryant said in an interview, that also alludes to the several denominations that support the Empowerment Movement.
The non-partisan effort has the backing of the AME , AME Zion, Cogic, Progressive, Bible Way, Full Gospel, CME, and United Covenant churches, to name a few. Political supporters include Rep. Elijah Cummings, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
The Washington Informer presents "A Conversation with Civil Rights Icon and Congressman
John Lewis." The event takes place 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday, April 19 at THEARC, 1901 Mississippi Ave., in Southeast.
Congressman Lewis will discuss his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and '60s, its relevance to present day and where we are now as a culture.
The event will also feature, inspirational entertainment, a showing of the short documentary, "John Lewis - An American Hero," a discussion between Denise Rolark Barnes and Lewis, as well as presentation of the Washington Informer Humanitarian Award.
There will be a catered reception in THEARC Theatre Lobby from 6 p.m. -7 p.m.
A local call for justice has been issued in the Trayvon Martin case, which has now garnered the attention of the FBI.
The event, titled "Martin & Martin and the Many Thousands in Between," also pays tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The rally will be held at 5 p.m., Wednesday, April 4 at Greater New Hope Baptist Church, 816 8th St. in Northwest.
The public is asked to join the D.C. host committee, WPFW FM as well as several civil rights and community groups and churches in this quest for justice.

The Color of Autism Foundation raises awareness about African Americans Living with Autism
ATLANTA -- The Color of Autism Foundation (CAF) is celebrating National Autism Awareness Month throuhghout April with a series of fundraising events and donation drives.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurological and developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. Recent estimates from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveal that about 1 in 88 children have been identified with an ASD. With 1 in 54 boys identified, the largest increases were found among African-American and Hispanic children.
CAF is committed to educating and assisting African-American families with autistic children. Although autism affects children of every race, ethnic group and socioeconomic status, African-American children are frequently confronted with late diagnosis or misdiagnosis. To that end, the Foundation's goal is to help families identify the warning signs of autism early on.
"We can start to overturn these disparities by helping African-Americans with autism reach their full potential and empowering families with information on autism that they can use to advocate services for their child," said CAF founder Camille Proctor. "We are committed to raising public awareness about ASD, empowering families and lessening their isolation. We are dedicated to ensuring that all people with autism receive appropriate and effective services to maximize their growth potential."
CAF's main initiatives this year is the completion and distribution of a film with a new perspective on the autism epidemic.
"Screaming in Silence: Autism" is a documentary about the affects of autism on African American families. Autism is a growing epidemic that also has a resonating impact on the school systems, health and human services, judicial system, medical, mental health, therapeutic industry and caregivers in the African-American community.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have fired coach Ken Whisenhunt after six seasons that included the long-suffering franchise's only Super Bowl appearance.
The team also ousted general manager Rod Graves, who had been with the franchise for 16 years. He'd been general manager since 2007.
The housecleaning by Cardinals President Michael Bidwill, son of team owner Bill Bidwill, followed a season that saw the team start 4-0 but lose 11 of its last 12 to finish 5-11.
The 50-year-old Whisenhunt had more wins than any other coach in Cardinals history, going 45-51, 4-2 in the playoffs. He had a year worth about $5.5 million left on his contract.
Of the team's three winning seasons the past 28 years, two came with Whisenhunt as coach.
The termination was announced in a brief midday news release, with Michael Bidwill scheduling a 3:30 p.m. MST news conference.
Those dismissed included assistant head coach/offensive line coach Russ Grimm, offensive coordinator Mike Miller, offensive quality control coach Chad Grimm, quarterbacks coach John McNulty, wide receivers coach Frank Reich and running backs coach Tommie Robinson. Tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens was the only coach on the offensive staff not fired.
None of the defensive coaches were dismissed.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton is expected to interview for some of the many NFL head coaching vacancies. Despite its overall lack of success, the team finished among the league leaders in several defensive categories.
Whisenhunt's six seasons were tied for the longest tenure for a coach in the Cardinals' long, largely unsuccessful history Continued...
In his second year with the team, the Cardinals finished the regular season 9-7, then mounted a stunning run to the Super Bowl, beating Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia along the way. They lost a thriller to Pittsburgh 27-23 in the Super Bowl in Tampa.
The following season, Arizona won a franchise-record 10 games in the regular season and defeated Green Bay 51-45 in overtime in one of the most exciting playoff games of all time. But the New Orleans Saints pounded the Cardinals 45-14 the following week, and quarterback Kurt Warner decided to retire.
Things were never the same again as Whisenhunt went with an assortment of quarterbacks but could never find the offensive magic that Warner created.
The Cardinals went 5-11 in 2010, but after a 1-6 start regrouped to finish 8-8 in 2011.
Arizona started 2012 at 4-0 but it was a fool's gold record. The Cardinals lost nine straight and 11 of their last 12 to finish 5-11 for the second time in three seasons.
Quarterback was again the main issue. Most of the success came with Kevin Kolb at the position, but he went down with what turned out to be a season-ending rib injury in Week 6 and, with John Skelton, Ryan Lindley and, in the finale, Brian Hoyer, at the position, and with a woeful running game, Arizona's was the worst offense in the NFL.
Offense was supposed to be Whisenhunt's specialty.
The Georgia Tech graduate with a degree in engineering played nine seasons as an NFL tight end.
Whisenhunt worked his way through the coaching ranks to become tight ends coach for the Steelers in 2001 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2004. After three seasons in that job, he was hired in Arizona to replace Dennis Green, who was fired after three losing seasons.
Graves joined the franchise as assistant to the president in 1997. He became vice president for football operations in 2003 and general manager in 2007.

"He has faith in General Allen, believes he is doing and has done an excellent job at ISAF," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.
"His leadership has been instrumental in achieving the significant progress that ISAF, working alongside our Afghan partners, has made in bringing greater security to the Afghan people in ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists," Defense Department spokesman George Little said.
Fran Townsend, who served as Homeland Security Adviser in the last Bush administration, called him "a competent, respected, admired leader of troops."
Allen's military career began when he graduated with honors from the Naval Academy in1976. He returned there in 1988 to teach in the political science department, earning the "military instructor of the year" award in 1990.
He became the first Marine to be appointed commandant of midshipmen, the second highest post at the Naval Academy, in 2002.
When Allen was promoted from colonel to brigadier general in 2003, he was made principal director of Asian and Pacific Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He held the position for nearly three years.
He served in Iraq as commanding general of the 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade from 2006 to 2008. He championed the "Sunni Awakening" strategy that organized and paid former insurgents or sympathizers who turned against al Qaeda.
Allen was posted in Tampa, Florida, as deputy commander the U.S. Central Command from July 2008 until June 2011, when he took over the Afghanistan command.
It was in Tampa that Allen met Jill Kelley, who was already a friend of Patraeus.
Allen holds three master degrees -- from Georgetown University, the Defense Intelligence College and the National War College.

Inspired By: Typography (and Hello Hydrangea)
If you haven't come across it yet, one of my favorite new blogs is called Hello Hydrangea and there's a lot to see over there! Leslie, the owner, posts these really neat "inspired by" pieces where she shares her inspiration, and then how she adapts it into something of her own. I pretty much love all the ones she's done and she's totally inspired me to well...find more inspiration in my daily life. So after falling in love with this:
I took a sharpie, some card stock and a paper cutter to make this:
My version references the incomparable Conan and is full of things I love. It's also quite messy in spots and is a bit chaotic, which just makes it more me I guess! Sleepy owls, singing cats, and kissing quails make me smile whenever I look at it (although I confess I am glad to be done).
In other news, I made coasters with some leftover felt by using this tutorial from How About Orange. :)

Join Jay Maisel, Syl Arena and Henry Horenstein at the Rockport Opera House Monday, August 20th, at 7:30pm.
Jay Maisel's name is synonymous with color photography that uses light and gesture to create images for advertising, editorial, and corporate communications. His work also appears in books and in private and corporate collections. His awards include two from ASMP, Lifetime Achievement and Photographer of the Year; the International Center for Photography's Infinity Award; and induction into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. A graduate of Cooper Union and Yale University, Jay continues his education by teaching.
Syl Arena has wandered the world of photography for over four decades. Shortly after Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, Syl "borrowed" his father's newfangled Polaroid camera, climbed a tree, and made his first photograph. He was in the third grade.
In college, Syl studied commercial photography at Brooks Institute and fine art photography at the University of Arizona (BFA, 1984). Among his more noteworthy accomplishments in school was the construction of a pinhole camera that used 20" x 24" litho film. True to his eclectic style, Syl then printed these giant negatives as cyanotypes, carbon prints, and screen prints—a early indication of Syl's willingness to explore the boundaries of photography.
Jumping forward nearly three decades, Syl continues his exploration of photography through Speedlites. Through his passion for innovation, he has become the voice for such creative flash techniques as high-speed sync, gang light, and moving the wireless master off camera.
Fortunately, Syl is not one to keep secrets. His new Speedliter's Handbook is nearly 400-pages of how-to and why-to on Canon flash techniques. Syl blogs frequently on his two sites: Speedliting.com and PixSylated.com. He has written articles about Speedliting for EOS Magazine as Europe's Canon Pro Network. Syl is also the author of LIDLIPS: Lessons I Didn't Learn In Photo School—a collection of 100 micro-essays on photography.
Born in New Bedford, MA, Henry Horenstein studied history at the University of Chicago, before turning to photography. Horenstein earned his BFA and MFA from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1971 and 1973 respectively. His teachers were Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. Horenstein's over 30 books include monographs (Animalia, Honky Tonk, Close Relations, Humans, Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, and Racing Days) and some of the most widely used instructional texts in the field (Black & White Photography, Beyond Basic Photography, etc.). His most recent books are Show (2010), a look at the myriad worlds of burlesque, fetish, drag, and sideshow, and Digital Photography: A Basic Manual (fall 2011).

Time Bandits [Blu-Ray]
Director : Terry Gilliam
Screenplay : Michael Palin & Terry Gilliam
MPAA Rating : PG
Year of Release : 1981
Stars : Craig Warnock (Kevin), David Rappaport (Randall), Kenny Baker (Fidgit), Malcolm Dixon (Strutter), Mike Edmonds (Og), Jack Purvis (Wally), Tiny Ross (Vermin), David Warner (Evil Genius), John Cleese (Robin Hood), Sean Connery (King Agamemnon), Shelley Duvall (Pansy), Katherine Helmond (Mrs. Ogre), Ian Holm (Napoleon), Michael Palin (Vincent), Ralph Richardson (Supreme Being), Peter Vaughan (Winston the Ogre), David Daker (Kevin's Father), Sheila Fearn (Kevin's Mother), Jim Broadbent (Compere)
In making Time Bandits, co-writer/director Terry Gilliam said that he wanted to make a film that was intelligent enough for children and exciting enough for adults, a clever reversal of standard Hollywood intent that is precisely what makes it one of the greatest of children's fantasy movies. Gilliam keeps his camera low and shoots everything from the point of view of a child, which lends visual and emotional substance to the film's child-centric (but never childish) celebration of the outlandish, the exaggerated, the scary, and the silly. It is no small surprise that Gilliam recruited several of his colleagues in the Monty Python comedy troupe to contribute to the film, including Michael Palin (who co-wrote the script with Gilliam and plays the recurring role of a doomed lovestruck goof) and John Cleese, who shows up for a brief cameo as a wonderfully clueless and overly positive Robin Hood.
The brilliance of Time Bandits and the reason it continues to speak so eloquently to open-minded viewers of any age is its radical sense of juxtaposition and boundary blurring (I can speak from direct experience, having watched it dozens of times on cable as a 10-year-old in the early 1980s and finding all new appreciation for it in my adult years without losing any of the sense of wonderment I enjoyed decades ago). At all times the film is engaged in a giddy game of purposeful misplacement, with an oddball assortment of physically, but never emotionally, diminutive characters literally jumping through the ages via a series of time portals that have been charted on a map designed by no less than the Supreme Being himself. The trick is that Gilliam and Palin aren't really interested in historical veracity (another reasons kids love it--they aren't being surreptitiously educated), but rather how they can derive humor and adventure from well-known historical figures, whether they be real (Ian Holm's Napoleon), mythical (Sean Connery's King Agamemnon), or somewhere in-between (Cleese's Robin Hood). The fact that the film makes no distinction myth and reality is indicative of its fundamental playfulness, and when it finally steps into the realm of clear-cut fantasy when the characters enter the mythical "Time of Legends," it all feels of a piece. Horrifying ogres suffer with back problems and have to be tended to by their loving wives, ships turn out to be little more than the head accoutrement for a giant, and God himself is embodied by the legendary Ralph Richardson as a fussy, absent-minded old man.
At the film's heart is one hero, six antiheroes, and a villain. The hero is, of course, the child, an 11-year-old boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) who has a bright imagination, a love of history and fantasy, and two dull, materialistic parents (David Daker and Sheila Fearn) who are more interested in their kitchen appliances and their plastic-covered furniture than their son. Kevin is essentially alone in his own family, which is why it is so easy for him to take up with the film's six antiheroes, a gaggle of dwarfs who were once employed by the Supreme Being to make shrubs and trees but now fancy themselves "international criminals" after having stolen the time map with the intent of using it to rob history's richest figures. Led by the supremely confident Randall (Davis Rappaport), each of the dwarfs has a unique personality that is usually in conflict with the others: Wally (Jack Purvis) is tough-talking and constantly challenging Randall's self-appointed authority; Fidgit (Kenny Baker) is sweet-natured and gentle; Strutter (Malcolm Dixon) is an older professorial type; Vermin (Tiny Ross) is distinguished by his propensity for eating anything; and Og (Mike Edmonds) is, as his name suggests, virtually monosyllabic. Importantly, while the dwarfs are all immensely likable, they are never in any way cuddly or even particularly nice; rather, they are consistently self-serving and self-aggrandizing, with their chief virtue being their honesty about it (unlike Kevin's parents, who just sink into a selfish stupor in front of the television every night).
With the map in hand, anything is possible, which gives Gilliam free license. The first half of the film is really a series of setpieces, with Kevin and the dwarfs robbing the height-obsessed Napoleon before losing all their riches to Robin Hood and his grimy less-than-merry men, after which they are temporarily separated when Kevin goes through the wrong portal and becomes the adopted son of King Agamemnon and then reunited aboard the Titanic just in time for its fatal voyage ("How was I to know we were gonna run right into an iceberg? It didn't say 'Get off before the iceberg' on the ticket!" Randall yells while they all cling to a plank in the middle of the frigid Atlantic). The second half of the story finds them in the Time of Legends seeking the supposed "Most Fabulous Object in the World," which is really just a ruse by Evil himself (David Warner) to ensnare them and steal the map so that he can remake the world in his own self-image, which means a lot of technology and a lack of nipples on men.
Like the best of Monty Python's films and television episodes, Time Bandits is a wildly fluctuating mixture of basic absurdity and sharp-edged social satire. Gilliam's obsession with the potentially overwhelming and dehumanizing nature of technology and materialism (which is particularly pronounced in Brazil, the film he was trying to get off the ground when he cooked up the idea for Time Bandits) is woven throughout the adventure in clever and sometimes bizarre ways, such as the manner in which he evokes the plastic coverings of Kevin's parents' furniture in the plastic Evil's minions wear over their clothes. Similarly, Evil's Fortress of Ultimate Darkness is absurdly huge, and the fact that it has no real point is the point: It is a monument to both Evil's runaway ego and his love of construction for its own sake--a grandiose, gothic corollary to shiny, but unnecessary kitchen appliances.
The film's production design is a constant marvel of both fine detail and wild imagination, especially given the fact that it was independently produced for around $5 million. The special effects are all decidedly old school in their analogue dependence on miniatures, forced perspective, and camera overcranking, which is precisely how Gilliam likes it. The effects, which reach back into the history of fantasy cinema and are generally quite convincing, are in line of the film's overall disdain for modernity and all its shallow promises. It's the fantasy and the fun that matter, and while Gilliam's coating of much of the film in dirt and grime would seem to be an indicator of weightier matters at hand, it is really just one more way of playing to the childhood love of the dirty and the messy.

Making its debut in high-definition in the U.S., Time Bandits looks better on this Blu-Ray disc than it has in its previous DVD incarnations, although it's hard not to notice that more could have been done. The interlaced 1080i transfer isn't much better than okay, and some may consider it a real disappointment, especially since everything I have read suggests that the European Blu-Ray is quite good. While there are a few signs of compression artifacts (this disc is single-layered), there is no strong evidence of edge enhancement, color and skin tones looks good, and the intensified detail really makes you appreciate the intricacies of the wild production design. However, the print from which the transfer was taken was a bit dirty and in need of some digital cleaning. The image shows quite a bit of white speckling and signs of dirt that, while not overly distracting, still catch your eye from time to time. The DTS-HD 5.1 surround soundtrack is first-rate, with excellent clarity, depth, and directionality. | |
Hold on to your Criterion and Anchor Bay DVDs, as this Blu-Ray release is extremely light on the supplements. All we have is a 12-minute interview with director Terry Gilliam from a few years ago and the original theatrical trailer. |

I had never worked with glass plates and I wanted to.piso de hule
The Darkroom
Printing From Glass Plates; It's Definitely Worth The Effort
After looking at the prints I had just given her, my neighbor Genevieve said,
"I have never seen prints of these photographs before."
It all started when she showed me a box of 6x4.5cm glass plates from 1923-'35.
It was a collection of family photos of her father, aunt, and uncle when they
were small children. In France glass plates were used for far longer than in
the US. I offered to make a few prints for her, partly as a favor, but mostly
because I had never worked with glass plates and I wanted to.
At first I thought about making only contact prints. Because of the weight
of the glass plate, all you have to do is lay plates of similar densities on
a sheet of photographic paper and you can print several plates at once. Or if
I want to be thoroughly authentic, I have a couple of 6x4.5cm contact printing
frames. But 6x4.5cm prints are pretty tiny. How much more fun to have enlargements!
The negative carrier from my Meopta Magnifax is perfect for this application.
It is a 6x9cm (about 21/2x31/4"), sandwich-type double glass carrier.
The glasses are inserts, so you can work with a single glass (top or bottom)
or use the carrier glassless. The sandwich will take materials up to about 5mm
thick (just under 1/4") with both top and bottom glass. These 6x4.5cm
plates are only about 1mm thick, so they can be placed in the carrier just like
any other medium format negative. There are masking blades in the carrier, so
it can be masked down from 6x9cm to 6x4.5cm.
It is always important when you work with a glass carrier to make sure that
you have it scrupulously clean. I use Kinetronics antistatic brushes and cloths
to do this. The brushes are soft and can also be used on glass plates (or other
negs). A few minutes spent cleaning the surfaces before you print can save you
hours of retouching later.
To keep the number of surfaces to a minimum, I chose to work with the plates
supported on the lower glass of the negative carrier. Normally when you use
a single glass, you should use an Anti-Newton glass above the negative, but
I needed the lower glass to support the plate.
With any collection of old negatives, glass or acetate, you are likely to
be working with extremes of density and contrast. Few photographers used exposure
meters; most of the meters available were not very accurate; and the general
inclination was to err, whenever possible, on the side of generous exposure.
But "whenever possible" was not necessarily very often: H&D
350 (roughly equivalent to ISO 15) was regarded as fast, and plenty of people
used plates of H&D 200 (ISO 8) or below. In addition, f/3.5 was a fast lens:
f/6.3 was quite common. Even in brilliant sun, 1/50 sec wide-open at f/6.3 might
be the optimum exposure. On overcast days, handheld exposure could be a distinct
As for contrast, many people still developed their plates by inspection, under
a red light, and some were better at this than others: many produced negatives
that were pale and wan, while others went for contrast that looks halfway to
lith to a modern eye. Combine generous exposure with generous development and
you get a negative which was, in the phrase of the day, "bulletproof."
It's also true that ortho plates (non-red-sensitive) and "ordinary"
plates (blue-sensitive only) can play strange tricks with tonality, not just
flesh tones but also skies, red woods such as mahogany, brick... They are
not inherently contrastier, but they were often developed that way.
This didn't necessarily matter. Most negatives were still printed out
on Printing-Out Paper (POP) which needs a high-contrast negative and which has
no problem with either very high densities or very high contrast. For high densities
you just exposed the print for longer--one celebrated negative in the researches
of Hurter and Driffield reputedly took three days--and POP has an inherent
self-masking ability: as density builds in the more exposed areas of the print,
it masks the silver halide behind it, while density continues to build at the
same speed as before in the less exposed areas. This magically compresses the
tonal range to exactly what the paper can handle and explains why so many ancient
prints are so wonderful.
A well processed and archivally washed plate will last a very long time, quite
possibly for centuries if it is protected from fire, flood, and gelatin-eating
insects or fungus, but badly fixed or badly washed plates may well fade.
You therefore have three options. One is to go for POP (which is still available)
and do it the way our ancestors did. This is best for the aforementioned "bulletproof"
negatives but is a subject for a future column, in which I shall talk about
producing negatives for POP as well as the techniques of POP printing and toning.
The second option is printing on variable-contrast paper--and you may well
need the extremes that are available to you, from Grade 00 to Grade 5. This
is ideal for the vast majority of negatives, even the ones that are thin and
weak. And the third option, to which I shall return in a moment, is scanning.
Scanning is really only suitable for less dense, less contrasty negatives.

Sky-High Kitchen Pops With Custom Colors
Denver, CO — Custom kitchens take patience and a creative vision.
Elaine Hall Murray, CMKBD, allied member ASID of Brisbane, CA-based BMI, says her clients had both the patience and that vision.
"They had done their homework and enjoyed every aspect of this project," says Murray. "They wanted a clean-lined, elegant, gourmet kitchen with only the very best appliances and materials."
In the space the couple sought to create a refuge. "They travel a great deal, and they wanted a divine home to which they would look forward to returning," Murray continues.
She was charged with designing the kitchen, auxiliary kitchen, bar, pantry and dining area.
"All of the areas were special, but the ability to have different areas function in totally distinctive ways while being part of a totally homogenous open area is unique," Murray offers.
"It is an extremely open-plan layout; the space dedicated to the kitchen and dining area is approximately 750 sq. ft.," she says.
The perfect melding of high performance appliances, cabinetry, great project management and a flawless installation all contributed to making the project sizzle, according to Murray.
Choosing Challenges
The home's location in a high-rise posed several challenges.
"The project was a new construction high rise in Colorado," notes Murray. "The space was the top floor penthouse. The greatest physical challenge was to reconfigure the space from the cookie-cutter, asymmetrical layout provided by the developer."
Load-bearing columns would also have to be worked around. Walls were added in places, removed in others and ceiling and lighting patterns were revamped dramatically to satisfy the clients' requests. One of those requests was to keep the mountain view as unobstructed as possible.
"Privacy was also a paramount concern," the designer adds.
Functionally, the challenge was to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in spite of the kitchen's very open layout and large proportions.
Design Details
One way to make the large space manageable, says Murray, was through the designing of separate work zones.
"While the personal chef prepares gourmet meals for family and friends in the main kitchen, the clients are able to prepare the occasional meal for themselves with the lift oven and microwave in the auxiliary kitchen," she says.
Murray continues: "One of the homeowners is a strict vegan, while the other is an avowed carnivore, so the main kitchen needed to function smoothly for the in-house chef to be able to prepare both types of meals."
The focal point of the main space is the stove wall, which features custom La Cornue elements including a range and vent hood. Matching custom panels for several of the appliances add to the striking detail, as does the corresponding island.
"The blue was a custom color chosen by the client," Murray offers. "He wanted a color reminiscent of the sky, with great life and strength."
Murray adds that the white countertops from CaesarStone, high-gloss white cabinets in the surrounding spaces and aluminum accents emphasize the simplicity and rhythm of the design.
The custom blue island stands juxtaposed with the wall of aluminum refrigeration, which adds what Murray identifies as a "serene effect."
As the couple also specified that the space be conducive to entertaining, Murray added lots of easily accessible prep and storage spaces in the island, including two walnut epiceries and baskets for easy prep. The expansive countertop space and seating for five make the island "command central for entertaining," according to the designer.
A paneled Gaggenau dishwasher and professional-style sink and arc faucet from Franke complete the prep space.
At the bar area, a refrigeration wall includes a refrigerator, freezer and wine refrigerator from Gaggenau. All are installed with a simple but elegant panel wrap.
A prep sink and high arc faucet from Franke are teamed in the bar with an Everpure Exubera water system, which dispenses both filtered and carbonated water. A clear ice maker from U-Line is tucked below.
To maintain the horizontal line of the space, only one overhead cabinet was used. That cabinet is used as a focal point in the bar area, and features a glass front that acts as a repetitive element from the backsplash in the main kitchen.
The lift-up glassware cabinet and the close proximity of refrigeration "make the bar an area that follows both form and function," according to Murray. Pull-outs and roll-outs enhance the function of the bar storage areas.
Murray worked with Brian Allen of SieMatic's San Francisco location to specify the cabinetry in the bar area and auxiliary kitchen. SieMatic cabinetry was selected for its clean lines, which were desired by the client.
"The stainless steel countertops and the gloss white cabinets in the auxiliary space make the small area sparkle," she offers.

All Metro passes and stored value are now sold on TAP, a durable plastic card you can use again and again. It's eco-friendly, because using TAP eliminates tons of disposable paper passes and stamps.
Each TAP card has an electronic chip inside; just load the type of pass and stored value you want on your card, and the chip remembers it. Then you simply tap your card each time you board, and the bus farebox or rail validator looks for valid pass first. If no valid pass is found it will deduct from your stored value.
See the TAP Users Guide at right.
On Metro buses: Simply tap your card on the farebox's TAP target. A "beep" and message will show the bus operator your card is valid. Remember, you must tap your card each time you board; you may not simply show it to the operator.
On Metro Rail trains and the Metro Orange Line: Locate the station validator or turnstile as you approach the platform and tap your card on the TAP target. Remember, you must tap your card before boarding; it is not valid unless you do.
Turnstiles are located at some Metro Rail stations. At these stations, tap the validator on the right side of the turnstile before you pass through.
If your trip requires more than one train (i.e., changing from the Red Line to the Blue Line), you must tap the validator again at the station where you change trains. Always have your TAP card handy as fare enforcement officers with handheld validators may ask to verify that you have tapped.
Failure to load valid fare on your card or tap the farebox or validator before boarding could result in a $250 fine.
For additional information, check the links to the right, or call 1.866.TAPTOGO (1.866.827.8646).
Metro Reduced Fare Office:
Monday – Friday 8 am to 4 pm
Failure to load a valid pass on your card or tap the farebox or validator before boarding could result in a $250 fine.

Standing on on the bar of the Hell's Kitchen lushing crib Sanctuary Monday evening, Ms. Geller was eulogizing right-wing firebrand Andrew Breitbart, who died suddenly last week at the age of 43.
Members of Manhattan's small conservative media community gathered to mourn the late Mr. Breitbart, a bombthrower who relished fighting back against what he perceived as a liberal-dominated political press corps. The orotund provocateur made his name with outrageous, often humorous rhetoric and hard-hitting exposés, including publishing a series of undercover videos that led to the closure of ACORN and a cache of lewd photos and internet messages that brought down Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner.
