Dutch Crunch Bread and Pistolets
Another of life's lessons learned: if someone tells you that there is one ingredient you need to make your recipe perfect, but gives you some second-class substitutes, just go to the grocery store and buy the perfect ingredient, even if you're feeling too lazy to get in your car and drive to the store.
My friend Melinda Pickworthmade this bread - Peter Reinhart's Vienna Bread with Dutch Crunch Topping - in November of 2008 (right after Obama was elected president). I wanted to make it as soon as I saw it. This is how long it's taken me--maybe I'm not that great on follow-through.
The Vienna bread itself is an easy-to-make, fine-textured white sandwich bread, which can also be shaped into rolls or buns. If you want to make the Dutch Crunch topping, you need rice flour, which I didn't have. Melinda made her bread in November of 2008, so you would think that sometime in the 2 1/2 years after I read her blog and got inspired to try it, I would have picked up some rice flour. Not true.
But, since you can substitute any number of things for the rice flour, I did, even though Reinhart warns that rice flour is most commonly used because it's "perfect for the job." Meaning that the substitutions are less than perfect.
I said this bread was easy, and it is, but you do have to start it the night before you want to eat it. It starts, as do so many tasty bread recipes, with a pre-ferment that you make the night before, stick in the refrigerator, and bring to room temperature in the morning. On the second day, it's just a dump-everything-in-the-bowl, knead, and shape kind of bread.
Vienna bread is different than French bread in a lot of ways. First, it's got a lot more ingredients than the yeast/flour/salt/water quartet that works such magic in a baguette. It's also got barley malt syrup, shown here in its sticky splendor, an egg, butter, and a little sugar.
After this is mixed, kneaded, and allowed to rise, it's time to decide what kind of bread you want.
The recipe makes two one-pound loaves of Vienna bread (usually shaped into a batard), but you can make rolls with part of the dough, or you can make American-style loaves in loaf pans. I decided to make four three-ounce pistolets (miniature batards) and one large Dutch-crumb loaf.
What turns Vienna bread into Dutch crumb? A topping made from rice flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and water. (Or, if you can't be bothered to go fetch some rice flour, a mixture of cake flour and cornstarch). This mixture gets brushed on the shaped loaf, where it starts to bubble and burst. Frankly, it looks a little frightening. If made with rice flour, the contrast between the crunch and the loaf is supposed to be much more striking than in my picture--it's called tijgerbroodin the Netherlands, whence it comes, and should look like the markings on a tiger.
Almost alive.
The rolls turned out pretty and golden brown. I used them as dinner rolls, but they could also be used for sandwiches.
The bread's topping wasn't as pretty or as crunchy as the photo in The Bread Baker's Apprentice. I blame the lack of rice flour for the lack of perfection in the Dutch crunch, but it still formed a lovely crust--slightly sweet and toothsome, although not as firm as a baguette's crust. The interior was soft and even-crumbed--equally good for sandwiches and as toast.
I'd like to thank the people at Channel 4 for naming Breadbasketcase one of their top ten bread blogs. Check out their list for some great-looking blogs.
Vienna Bread
from The Bread Baker's Apprentice, by Peter Reinhart
Pate Fermentee
1 1/8 cups (5 oz.) AP flour
1 1/8 cups (5 oz.) bread flour
3/4 tsp (.19 oz.) salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
About 3/4 cup (6 to 7 ounces) warm water
Mix together the flours with the salt and yeast. Then add the water while stirring until you have a rather 'shaggy' dough. You may need to add the extra water to bring it all together.
Remove the dough to a floured surface then knead it for a few minuted until the dough is smooth and slightly, not sticky. Place this dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let it ferment for at least 4 hours at room temperature. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
Vienna Bread
2 1/3 cups (13 oz.) pate fermentee (You'll have a little left over)
2 2/3 cups (12 oz.) bread flour
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1 large egg, beaten slightly
1 Tbs melted butter
3/4 cup + 2 Tbs (6 to 7 oz.) warm water
1. Remove pate fermentee from the refrigerator, cut it into about 10 pieces then let it come to room temperature, covered, for about an hour before using it.
2. Stir together the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Then add the pate fermentee, egg, butter and 3/4 cups of the water. Add extra water if needed, then continue mixing until you have a smooth dough. Knead with dough hook, or by hand, about ten minutes.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat, then cover. Let it rise until doubled in bulk for 2 hours.
4. Shape the dough into rounds (big or little, depending on what you want your final product to be). Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
5. Shape into batards, rolls, or loaves, and let rise until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450F. Just before placing the bread in the oven, place an empty pan in the oven and pour a cup of boiling water into it closing the door quickly.
Place the bread in the oven, reduce the heat to 400F. Continue to bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheet to ensure even baking. Bake an additional 10-20 minutes, depending on size.
Cool on a rack to room temperature.

Congratulations on the feature! and this bread does sound good... maybe I should ditch the cakes and start with the breads.....

I love dutch crunch rolls for sandwiches, and always wondered how they got their crunchy-crackly top. Marie, I am swimming in rice flour and would happily send you some, should you ever decide you needed any! Congrats on getting named one of the top ten bread blogs--you deserve it!
- Stephanie said...
Congrats on getting featured!
I've been eyeing this recipe in my book for a while. I even have the rice flour but no barley syrup.. I can't find it anywhere
- Lois B said...
Congrats on making the top 10 - well deserved!
- pinknest said...
So smooth! I want to pet it. And that barley malt syrup looks intense.
- breadbasketcase said...
No! There's room in life for cakes and breads. No ditching is permitted.
I suppose if I ever tried gluten-free baking, I might be swimming in rice flour too. Maybe I could buy just a little puddle of it.
I got the barley malt syrup at a regular grocery store, but I think it was in the baking supplies section, not with honey or molasses.
I don't think you're supposed to want to pet a tiger. Or maybe you're supposed to want to, but your brain tells you to desist.
- Hanaâ said...
Congrats on making it to the top 10!
I grew up on Tijgerbrood (yum!) but never baked it. I'm planning on making this recipe soon (you could probably figure out the recipe on your own, otherwise use Google Translator): http://uitdekeukenvanarden.blogspot.com/2011/05/tijgerbrood.html
And I already went to the store and bought the rice flour for it. I already have barley malt syrup which I use for most breads I bake.
- Nicola said...
Seriously impressed by the feature! That is so cool. Hope it comes with a big cash prize, a sunny holiday with lots of rum cocktails and a book deal!!!
- breadbasketcase said...
Lucky you--apparently you can get the bread in San Francisco or in the Netherlands, but not in many other places. Making it made me feel cosmopolitan.
I was hoping the same thing, but it turns out not to be so.
- Jenn said...
Marie, what an awesome award. Congratulations!!!
- Melinda said...
Congratulations on the top 10 bread blogs...what took them so long!
I am touched to be mentioned on your post and here I am such a slacker as always with my blogging!
I, too, have a haul of rice flour and would gladly share it with you. You probably find it difficult to find in your neck of the woods as you are 'wheat belt' practically!
But your bread and pistolets (which sound like a ladies dueling pistol) look just wonderful!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I thought about you on the day but didn't send any wishes as I was very busy being a hostess to 2 friends visiting. So forgive me! I hope someone made you a big fat juicy cake! Take care. Think I am truly ready to restart the blogging. I know you have heard that before! I am all hot wind and porkies! xx
- jini said...
i am not going to admit to anything like hot wind and porkies. lol
congrats marie.....you deserve the recognition for sure!! i suspect you could receive a vote in the top ten of cake bloggers too. what a woman!! i am hungry!!
- The Country Cook said...
How wonderful on your feature! This bread sounds wonderful!
- Goody said...
Your breads look lovely. If you have an electric coffee grinder, you can finely grind some rice to get a halfway decent rice flour (varies by type of rice, of course). I've used this in a pinch with decent results.
- Carrie B. Fisher said...
Just made this Vienna Bread for our July 4th family meal! Made 2 batards,but only used the topping on one of the loaves (my daughter wasn't so sure about the wisdom of such a volatile-looking treatment!). Both loaves turned out great! Thanks for the inspiration ... I've been looking for a time to make this since you posted it. Alongside my smoked meats (brisket, spareribs & chicken) and the rest of the meal, the bread more than held its own at the table :)
- breadbasketcase said...
So glad to hear that you tried and liked the bread. Your smoked meat extravaganza sounds wonderful!

Reprinted in light of yesterday's brutal showing of force by the Jewish Lobby at the confirmation hearing of Chuck Hagel. The most noxious and corrupted of the Senators grilling Hagel is the clown from Texas, Chickenhawk Ted Cruz.
"The problem with parasites is not merely that they siphon off the food and nourishment of their host, crippling its reproductive power, but that they take over the host's brain as well. The parasite tricks the host into thinking that it is feeding itself."
Parasites are the HIDDEN DISEASE, they can occur ANYWHERE in the body, in EVERY organ, in ALL tissues, and in the blood. Parasites can cause problems that mimic other disorders and are not diagnosed as being parasite related.
Not only do they cause harm by taking nutrients away from their host, they also produce toxic waste (from their excrement and death cycles) that affects the human body including the central nervous system.
Was Hagel applying to be Secretary of WAR for Israel?
Parasites exist in huge variety, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. They may live as ectoparasites on the surface of the host (e.g., bipeds, such as bankers, loan sharks, ADL members, Spies, and many organisms infesting humanity) or as endoparasites in the gut or tissues (e.g., many kinds of worms, like AIPAC and AEI ), and cause varying degrees of damage or disease to the host.
Parasites have a known affinity for things that glitter and shine, like gold, silver, diamonds and rubies. These lethal organisms also enjoy killing some of their hosts, and like to laugh at their deadly work, especially if the victim is a child.
Parasites intuitively know that the best way to obtain their required daily nourishment of others wealth is to insidiously insert themselves into an organism's media, governing mechanisms and financial circles, insuring a never ending supply of well-heeled hosts.
To help ensure that the parasite's lock on those powers are absolute, parasites instinctively gravitate towards and take control of the host's media outlets, to help brainwash the host into thinking that it is an independent organism.
Parasites have been known to suck the lifeblood out of their hosts to the point of the host collapsing. At these times, the parasites will rouse the host, by appealing to the host's patriotism.
This is best accomplished by either the parasite having other parasites start wars, in which the parasite collective is responsible for, but for which the host is the one deluded into fighting, so that the parasite can feed off the extra energy exerted by the host.
Parasites have even been known to "mimic" other organisms, so that the replica can be used to launch attacks against the host's environment.
By launching attacks against the host's environment, the parasite knows that other hosts will come to the primary hosts rescue, thereby ensuring more opportunities for the parasite to latch onto fresh, vital hosts and gorge itself on those bodies.
Most known species of parasites are located in North America, specifically the country known as America, but there are active and flourishing colonies of parasites in Europe (Scientists have recently detected a particularly insidious type of parasite in Germany, that has been tentatively labeled "Merkel")
The main body of parasites (e.g. as in the "mother ship") is located on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, in a strange and curious place known as "Stolenland."
This Stolenland is swarming with parasites of various shapes and sizes, but curiously, only one color, white--due to their ancestors being imported from eastern Europe--are allowed to govern that parasite collective.
Scientists are baffled as to how to rid a host of these blood-suckers, since the typical parasite is so thoroughly embedded with the host that to try and remove the parasite might result in the death of the host.
Scientists are aware of previous hosts breaking free of these parasites, but are also aware of the immense damage caused by this action, in pre-war Germany in the 1930's and the taking over of Russia in 1917 and the resulting mass slaughter of 66 million Russians, mostly Christians.
Currently, scientists have focused their studies on the main host of these parasites, that country known as America to see whether or not that nation of hosts can break away free from the parasites sucking the life-blood out of that host or whether the host will allow the parasite to feed on it until the point of collapse, then death.

text: One Week is a 2008 Canadian drama film directed by Michael McGowan and starring Joshua Jackson, Liane Balaban, and Campbell Scott. The film debuted at the Toronto Film Festival on September 8, 2008 and was released theatrically on March 6, 2009. Jackson plays Ben Tyler, who has been diagnosed with cancer. Requiring immediate treatment, he instead decides to take a motorcycle trip from Toronto across Canada to Vancouver Island. Along the way, he meets several people that help him reevaluate his relationship with his fiancée Samantha (played by Balaban), his job, and his dream of becoming a writer. The scenic backdrop of the Canadian landscape as well as an all-Canadian soundtrack serve as prevalent influences in the film. Joshua Jackson won Best Actor at the 2010 Genie Awards for his portrayal of Ben Tyler. Liane Balaban was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Eddie Guerrero had his cake and ate it, too. Now he'd love a second helping.
A year ago, Guerrero was celebrating a successful defence of his World Wrestling Entertainment championship crown after a terrific match against Kurt Angle in Wrestlemania XX at Madison Square Garden. At the end of the show, with his belt slung over his shoulder, he was back in the ring, raising the hand of longtime friend Chris Benoit, who'd just won the WWE's world heavyweight title.
Guerrero goes to Wrestlemania XXI this weekend in Los Angeles with a match against fellow tag-team champ Rey Mysterio on his mind, but the future is also in his thoughts.
The WWE took the title off Guerrero when the burden of carrying the torch for the company was taking its toll on the master of the Frog Splash. With Guerrero already having overcome severe alcohol and drug addictions, and at least one near-death overdose, more weight on those shoulders was not a smart move. Now, though, Guerrero is prepared to run with the ball once more.
"I took a lot of things personally and sometimes I have too much heart for my own good," said Guerrero recently, from his home in Tampa, Florida.
"I try to do the best I can at everything I do, but sometimes you can get caught up in some things and they will eat you up. I'm very grateful and thankful for that opportunity and it's something I've learned from.
"I would be grateful for the opportunity to be champion again. It would be a lot different. I made a lot of mistakes. I put a lot of pressure on myself and I wouldn't make those mistakes again.''
The fans of the WWE seem to want the belt on the five-foot-eight, 220-pounder again. They were dismayed when the title was taken from him and he remains one of the most popular stars on the Smackdown! show which will be coming to Edmonton on May 31 for a TV taping at Rexall Place.
Clearly, the fans love his skills and his gimmick, but Guerrero is real to them -- a normal guy who made mistakes in his personal life but found redemption through his family and his career.
"Every day I deal with my demons but I never let my guard down," said Guerrero. "I've always protected myself against them. I've been forgiven. I've forgiven myself and God has forgiven me.
"I'm tremendously happy and ecstatic with the way my life has changed. There's a lot of peace in my life and I'm thankful for that."
To be part of Wrestlemania, in what should be a high-flying, wild encounter with Mysterio, Guerrero is just eager to feel that intensity one more time.
"The atmosphere is just tremendous," said Guerrero. "I don't think it's so much different for the wrestlers than what the fans feel. It's the adrenalin rush of being out there performing in front of that big crowd and it's history -- we're making history."

Clippers beat Grizzlies 112-91 in playoff opener
Clippers beat Grizzlies 112-91 in playoff openerLOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 20: Chris Paul #3 and Eric Bledsoe #12 of the Los Angeles Clippers celebrate against the Memphis Grizzlies at Staples Center in Game One of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the 2013 NBA Playoffs on April 20, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Clippers played above the rim, not enough to live up to their Lob City moniker but enough to beat Memphis at its own rebounding game.
Chris Paul led seven players in double figures with 23 points, Eric Bledsoe had 15 and the Clippers dominated the boards in a 112-91 victory over the Grizzlies in their Western Conference playoff opener on Saturday.
Chauncey Billups scored 14 points, and Caron Butler and Jamal Crawford had 13 apiece on a night when Blake Griffin was held to 10 points and five rebounds before fouling out with 3:32 left. The high-flying Clippers had just one dunk, but enjoyed a 47-23 advantage on the glass.
''I just decided not to dunk that often,'' Paul said, jokingly. ''Just shoot floaters. I don't know what Blake's problem was.''
Griffin bantered back, saying, ''I just wanted to foul.''
''They're tough inside and in the end our guys made shots. We don't live for the dunk. It just happens sometimes - a lot of the time,'' he said.
Just not this time.
Griffin missed a dunk in the first quarter, when Tony Allen and Ed Davis had Memphis' only two. DeAndre Jordan's driving one-handed slam midway through the fourth was the Clippers' first, and the big man's first and only basket of the game.
''We were able to get in front of them before they take off,'' said Jerryd Bayless, who led the Grizzlies with 19 points.
Marc Gasol had 16 points and two rebounds, and Zach Randolph had 13 points and four boards in the rematch of last year's first-round series, won by the Clippers in seven games. Randolph finished with five fouls and Bayless was one of four Grizzlies with four fouls.
''That's not acceptable,'' Gasol said about the rebounding difference. ''Once we made a stop, they kept running in and getting offensive rebounds and second-chance points. We have to be better than that. The rebounds were the difference.''
Game 2 is Monday night at Staples Center.
''We've got to really, really step up and execute better,'' Gasol said. ''They cannot outhustle us.''
The Grizzlies closed within a point early in the fourth on a 3-pointer by former Clipper Keyon Dooling. Los Angeles answered with a 15-3 run to go up 92-79, equaling the 13-point lead it had in the first half. Eric Bledsoe, who had seven points, opened and closed the spurt with layups as the reserves helped the Clippers outscore the Grizzlies 37-22 in the period.
''Bled is that blur,'' Paul said. ''It gave us more versatility. They didn't know who to guard.''
The game was slowed by the referees, who called Memphis for 29 fouls and the Clippers 28.
Memphis owned a 48-46 edge in scoring in the paint, while the Clippers dominated 25-5 in second-chance points.
Griffin and Randolph staged a wrestling match within the game. Griffin said his back, which had spasms in the regular-season finale on Wednesday, felt good.
''I'm ready for however many games it's going to take,'' Griffin said. ''If that's the way he wants to play, let's do it.''
Randolph said: ''It's not that big of a deal right now. We want to win the next one. If we can't win the next one, then it's a big deal.''
The Grizzlies never led, and it didn't help that Randolph picked up two fouls and Mike Conley Jr. had three in the first half. Besides Griffin, Jordan had four fouls, while Matt Barnes, Lamar Odom and Ronny Turiaf had three apiece for the Clippers.
''They had two or three guys going to the glass every time,'' Conley said. ''They were jumping over us and using their athleticism.''
Paul scored his team's first seven points in the third, extending the lead to 64-53.
The Clippers led 57-51 at halftime after Barnes tipped in Paul's miss just before the buzzer. They led by 13 points early in the second before the Grizzlies cut it to two points twice in the final 1:24.
NOTES: The Clippers have won eight straight games, including their final seven of the regular season. ... Los Angeles is in the playoffs for the second straight year, the first time that's happened since 1991-92 and 1992-93. ... Memphis led the NBA in points allowed with 89.5 per game in the regular season.

José Andrés's Fried Egg with Chorizo Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Adapted from Made in SpainMade in Spain
Why I Picked This Recipe: I've flipped through Made In Spain a few times, and I think I always skipped this recipe because it initially sounded too simple. But after reading through the procedure, I noticed a few steps that I realized could elevate this dish.
What Worked: The method for cooking the fried eggs sounds difficult, but it's actually not that difficult. The skillet is tilted so that the oil collects on one side, and then an egg is slid in the oil. The whites crackle and brown, but the yolks stay soft.
What Didn't: Though very satisfying, some greens would have been great. But overall this is a great recipe.
Read more: Dinner Tonight: José Andrés's Fried Egg with Chorizo
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:20 minutes
- 8 garlic cloves, smashed and skins removed
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- crusty bread, cut into slices
Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, flipping occasionally, until lightly browned, about five minutes. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and crank the heat to medium-high. Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. When oil just starts to smoke, tilt the skillet so that the oil pools on one side. Carefully slip the egg into the oil. Spoon some of the hot oil on top of the egg, and cook until the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny, about 30 seconds. The edges of the whites should be browned and crispy. Carefully remove egg with a slotted spoon or spatula, and transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining eggs.
Pour the oil into a bowl and set aside, but do not wipe out skillet. Return the skillet to the stovetop and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the chorizo, and cook until they start to render some oil, about 30 seconds. Add the thyme sprigs, stir well, and cook for an additional minute, reducing the heat if oil starts to smoke aggressively.
Divide the chorizo and thyme between four plates. Top each with a fried egg. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a little bit of the reserved oil. Serve with slices of crusty bread.

Castillo's goal enough as FCD holds off San Jose
Frisco, TX – Fabian Castillo scored in the 33rd minute and the FC Dallas defense held on for a 1-0 home win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.
After a nine-match unbeaten run was snapped in Seattle last weekend, Dallas was eager to start a new streak on Saturday, and Castillo's first-half tally got them off to a good start.
The goal came on the counter attack and it was led by David Ferreira, who dashed through midfield and played the ball wide on the right to Castillo. He cut back past a defender and curled a shot inside the left post for a classy finish.
San Jose came within inches of leveling the contest before halftime, but a volley from Victor Bernardez struck the crossbar.
Goalkeeper Jon Busch kept the 'Quakes within a goal when he saved a shot from Castillo in a one-on-one situation, while Marvin Chavez went close with a free kick for the visitors.
The Earthquakes pressed for an equalizer in the final 10 minutes, but Chris Wondolowski was twice denied by Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez, who parried a volley in the 81st minute before producing a diving save in stoppage time to deny another Wondolowski effort.

Anonymous Coward, 2 Feb 2011 @ 7:14pmCameras are merely tools to be used for many things, including creative endeavors. While I rather doubt the current iteration of consumer and pro-sumer cameras will anytime soon replace film industry cameras, eventually a digital camera will be developed that will relegate the current crop of film-based cameras to the dustin of history, just like vinyl replaced wax in Edison's day.
Anonymous Coward, 2 Feb 2011 @ 8:00pm
Re:I don't think they real key to these cameras is that the big players in the industry will adopt them. There are better digital film cameras like the RED One. The key is that the current generation of DSLRs lets the talented folks in the indie crowd make films that quality-wise compete with the major players.

Re:You have it right. It isn't the tools, it's the person using them. Someone who has a talent for making movies can make a great movie on just about anything, and a horrible film marker can make nothing but junk with millions of dollars of equipment.
The point I tend to make about the "cheaper to make a movie" is that more people do it that just don't have the talent. You end up with more movies (massive leap in techdirt style innovation and creativity) but in reality you just end up with more junk.
So it isn't the tools, it's the person using them. Too bad that too many of them are just tools, like the things they use.

Re: Re: Re:No they are afraid of the bell curve that says. the lower 16.5% of the movies will be total crap, the center 66% will be crap to average to good, the upper 16.5% will be good enough to view. In the upper 16.5% you will find a ton of jems.
Just like the 5 million bands on MySpace are competition to the record labels. The billions of people with Cameras in their cell phones scare them. The same bell curve applies.

Re: Re:While you will end up with a larger amount of crap being made, there is a *lot* of excellent work being done by amateur filmmakers. These folks wouldn't be able to afford to spend millions on their projects, and I'd much rather have good tools available to them than not. If you can make a great movie with a webcam, you should be even better with access to proper equipment. Remember, not all skilled artists are professionals inside the mainstream movie industry.

Re: Re:
You end up with more movies (massive leap in techdirt style innovation and creativity) but in reality you just end up with more junk.Hmmmm *checks latest cinema film list* I'm not totally convinced that more film makers will affect the relative percentage of "junk" (rather than the absolute number of rubbish films). That pre-supposes that those (or a large percentage on those) made now are not junk and "junk" is a personal opinion.
I don't think I could point to more than 1/2 a dozen films in cinemas in the last couple of years that I'd move outside that category, though to be fair some would come into the "entertaining junk" sub-category. Saying "more film makers means more trash" seems a little snobbish to me. I wouldn't like to try and predict the effect, but I'd consider it equally likely that status quo is maintained and hold a hope that more competition for people's attention might even force the mean-point of "worth-watchingness" a little higher.
(Disclaimer: There are probably more than 6 "good" films in the last 2 years but I don't spend my life watching films - 6 represents maybe 10%-ish of films watched that were made in that time though lets face it some you know are trash without having to watch them. Also "good" is my opinion, not necessarily anyone elses.)

Re: Re: Re:When you have a higher bar to entry, not everyone tries to make a movie. The ones trying to make movies are much more dedicated to the idea, and are willing to take risks (financial and other) to get there.
When you remove the risk, everyone can make a movie. That means you need limited skills, no understanding of framing, shooting style, writing, plot development, or any of that stuff, because well, it's "FREE!". Doubly so if you pirated the editing software and borrowed the camera from Dad.
The end result? Lots of video shot, little of it useful. Much more noise, not much more signal.
As for "what is good", it is all relative. The President's Speech is a movie that can put me to sleep. However, it is a very high quality movie, great dialog, amazing filmography, great sets, great costumes, etc. It is an amazing period piece. It would put me to sleep within minutes. But I can appreciate that it isn't junk. I might not like the signal above the noise, but I can tell the difference between what is and what is not.

Re: Re: Re: Re:

It's not like much of that isn't already there in Youtube or similar. It's already free to make films, the change is that cheap good equipment allows the quality of the good ones among them to rise above the rest to truly rival the "studio produced" content. I've seen some compelling amateur content that had it had more budget would have been easily of "quality prodution" enough to be shown in a cinema for example and it's undeniable there's a market for "entertaining trash".
As for "what is good", it is all relative. The President's Speech is a movie that can put me to sleep.Which is pretty much exactly what I said. But are you to claim that one example (that in this case might come into the "Well done but boring - there's quite a few over the years I could put in this category) negates me saying that a reasonable percentage of "hollywood" film output released in cinemas shows no better production value entertaining or not?

Re:You imply that big industry movies are still shot on film, I was unaware of this. Does anyone know what medium is used in present day movies?
Film as a medium occupies a much smaller percentage of the still photography market, but it remains useful and is not going away anytime soon.
There are those who claimed digital had replaced vinyl much like cars replaced horses ... and yet vinyl still hangs around - go figure.

Re: Re:Panavision, the company behind the majority of cameras used for movie making by the major studios, is to my knowledge the camera of choice, and most of these cameras use 35mm and 65mm emulsion film by Kodak with, I believe, a max ISO of 320 balanced for tungsten light.
Panavision has begun to offer digital counterparts, but the transition from film to digital is not as yet complete, and it will be likely several years before film ceases to be the recording medium of choice.

Re:This answer demonstrates your lack of knowladge on the new DSLR cameras. Not only do they match digital quality but optical performance from photographic lenses are more than matched.
In the hands of a talendted film maker a DSLR can be just as powerful as other cameras. Maybe even more powerful since now the director has more budget to blow on using real cars and real stuff for explosions and special effects instead of purchasing expensive and bulky cameras and film.

Yet another thing on my timeline ... 2 years earlyI have a time line of future events for the Movie Studios based on the history of what the record labels have done over the past 30 years. One of them is locking up content to prevent new competition. A year and a half ago I put down "Studios begin purchasing movies shot on high end home cameras in an attempt to prevent competition". The time choosen was 2 years from now. Now while I don't know if this is a good film or not. I also don't know if this was to prevent competition. It has happened so half of it has come true.

Re: Re: Re:I understand physics, there are all sorts of tricks you can do with light. Here is what is currently being sold and the future ...
Look at Sony's Exmor R video camera for cell phones currently at 1080P and 16 MP resolution. The new ones in the works are smaller and at higher resolutions (24, 32, 48 MP).
In the futre you will see tech like this working its way into cameras ...
Look at what they are doing with "IC chip manufacturer and liquid immersion for photomasks" where the wavelength can be shortened and compressed onto higher resolution CCD or CMOS style devices.
Or maybe they will use nano dots, like they are working on for solar cells, laid on top of the CCD it self.

Re: Re: Re: Re:However, the sensor size will always be a problem. I'm sure you're aware of it, but just to point out, the smaller the sensor, the grainier the image you get (at least in anything other than bright sunlight). Even with the .4" sensor typical in a point and shoot, there is quite a lot of noise when shooting indoors.
This is not a problem that can be surmounted by further miniaturization, because you can't shrink the photons hitting the sensor. To get a better image/video without sacrificing either resolution or speed, you just flat need a bigger sensor. That's why it's going to be very very difficult, if possible at all, to get really high quality video from a smartphone in anything short of full daylight.
That assumes you can overcome the lens size issue, maybe with something like folded optics or other tricks. I think that problem is solvable in the medium to long term.
However, the question then becomes, how good is good enough? Even if the video is not as good as what you can get from a good DSLR, could it be good enough for a feature film? Maybe it can.
Hephaestus (profile), 2 Feb 2011 @ 8:56pm
Re: Re: Re:If you are talking about the optics. Its the diameter of the lenses. That break down to a combination of the surface smoothness of the material, the clarity or purity, the index of refraction of the material, and the surface reflection. All that is gettting better all the time. Personally I will not mind a dime sized lens on the back of my cell phone to shoot better pictures and video than the Canon 7D DLSR.

Anonymous Coward, 2 Feb 2011 @ 7:49pmDSLR cameras are quickly becoming a favorite tool in the indie film-making world.
You can shoot 1080p video, which is within 6% of the resolution of the digital projectors used in most theaters, including IMAX.
You have a large sensor roughly equivalent to Super 35mm film for APS-C cameras like the 7D (or Vistavision film on Full Frame cameras like the 5D mark ii). This lets you shoot in low light and get a shallow Depth of Field, which feels more filmic.
There is a wide selection of lenses to be had for relatively low cost, between $100 to a few thousand, thanks to the still photography market.
The Canon 5D mark ii was used to shoot entirety of the season 6 finale of House MD, which normally uses 35mm film.
I myself used the same model to shoot a short film in a single day using only what was already at hand. It was the best-looking film at the local festival.
grrooppyy, 2 Feb 2011 @ 8:51pmhigh schools now doing film projects, and they are shooting from canon 7D, the cool kid director creating concept like the music videos at sites. just a thought.
Spaceman Spiff (profile), 2 Feb 2011 @ 8:55pm
It's not your old kodak any moreThe 7D and similar cameras today often have full-frame 35mm imagers and are capable of shooting HD 1080p video using any lens that will fit the camera, including ones with image stabilization capabilities. Honestly, to get a regular video camera of that quality, you'd pay thousands $$ more, most likely.

What About The Camera EULA?These cameras that include MPEG-4/H.264 codecs and the like often come with an EULA saying the patents on those codecs are only licensed to you for �personal� or �non-commercial� use. Wonder if MPEG-LA will come after this filmmaker for a further royalty cut?

Re: What About The Camera EULA?Possible if they want an outrage on their hands, though I suspect they will refrain from going after professional users of DSLR cameras specifically for the camera hardware patent.

Zander, 21 Mar 2011 @ 3:07pmThe Social Network was entirely shot on The RED. Somewhere around 50,000 dollar camera shoots on RAW video. (The highest quality) and can techinically see more light than the human eye.
They are also going to release The Scarlet, a much more affordable version of the RED which technology will still be unmatched in its price range by any other digital video product at 6,000 dollars or so.

Ahmed Jaf, 9 Dec 2011 @ 3:38pmDespite the fact that I agree that a camera is a tool, but these films cost a lot of money to be made in the first place.

Of course 28 days later was made with an XL1 so? who was his cast? what was his budget?
Give many talented wanna be directors half that budget and they can do something similar with an even better camera,

Time after time, we find small strip-mall restaurants in Huntington Beach that are chef-owned and reasonably priced and offer a menu with their particular, inventive slant on whatever cuisine they prepare.
Our newest discovery, the Corner, has been around for about a year and a half. It is the offspring of Chef Chris Grodach, who earned his chops at such culinary meccas as the French Laundry and the Montage. In Chef Chris' own restaurant, featuring eclectic cuisine, everything from the ketchup to the garlic noodles is made from scratch.
The unpretentious décor is about to be changed in January. So far, this former Chinese restaurant has had a paint job and new upholstery. There is a separate bar/eating area and a room for large parties in addition to the main dining room.
They are proud of their signature cocktails like the Dirty Pickle, the Good Uncle and the Antioxidant Intoxicant. The latter has Ion Vodka, VeeV Acai Spirit, cucumber, basil and mint, served in a Mason jar.
The menu is divided into four sections: Start, Cold and Warm, Hot, and Not Entrées. The first three categories are small plates, and the Not Entrées are somewhat larger. For a mere $2, you can get one of four different potato or vegetable side dishes.
We chose an item from each category, beginning with crispy short rib tacos. Two small, shatteringly crunchy fried tacos were stuffed with well-seasoned, shredded beef, but the meat was rather dry and not at all spicy. Adding the accompanying mild salsa gave it some moisture but no heat. Lots of flavor was provided by the generous amount of finely grated, excellent white cheddar.
For something cold and refreshing, we ordered the shaved fall vegetables. This wild arugula salad was resting on top of a bed of thin shavings of crunchy fennel, parsnip, carrot and radish. This mélange was dressed with a light citrus vinaigrette and topped with creamy, crumbled goat cheese.
One of our favorite Asian dishes is garlic noodles. Chef Chris' take is a delicious riff on this popular Asian American offering. The measure of this dish is the quality of the noodles, and his house-made ones are superior. Distinct from the familiar skinny noodle that one usually encounters, these are wide and flat, like pappardelle. The tasty sauce is also unique in that in addition to butter, there is also cream, but not much garlic. Chef Chris rounds out the pasta with an Asian element — pieces of Chinese cabbage and a delightful Spanish one — rounds of salty, slightly spicy chorizo. Sprigs of cilantro added a final touch.
From the Not Entrées category, we chose the Korean BBQ chicken with non-traditional accompaniments. In fact, the only aspect that seemed authentically Korean was the marinade and sauce on the chicken. It was presented with lettuce leaves, cucumbers, green pepper, radish and avocado slices for you to create your own wrap. The chicken, topped with black and white sesame seed, was juicy and full of flavor. We found that the cilantro lime dipping sauce was too acidic and didn't marry well with the other delicious elements.
For a side dish, we were eager to try their 48-hour fries. Mostly, we were curious about the 48-hour part. It turns out that they are soaked overnight, air-dried, frozen and finally deep-fried. The result is something quite different and irresistibly delicious. The inside of these potatoes had a light, airy texture, while the exterior was slightly thicker than usual and as crunchy as could be. Just wonderful. Less exciting but very tasty was the side of lemon basil zucchini.
Pear crumble with caramel sauce and house-made ice cream was a lot of pear and barely any crumble. We wished there had been more to give it some crunch. However, the caramel sauce was generous and really luscious, with deep caramel flavor, and it paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream.
We look forward to tasting Chef Chris' future creations.

Britney Spears appeals to everyone in her new Fantasy Twist perfume commercial -- all at the same time. The pop legend and 'X Factor' judge sported several sparkly, diverse outfits in her teaser photos for the ad, and now we finally see how they all came together to make a cohesive commercial.
The ad opens with text reading, "We do not see things are they are. We see things as we are." The message sets the tone for the rest of the video, as Spears struts down a hotel hallway and morphs into whatever anyone behind the peepholes want. We see what you did there, BritBrit!
She exits an elevator sporting a sparkly, sequined silver minidress with her long blond hair straight and eyes smoky. When she walks by the room of a red-clad, bespectacled fashion designer, Spears transforms into a Cleopatra-inspired vixen, dancing through the hall and posing against the walls. The woman behind the door is visibly excited by Spears' appearance, to say the least.
Next, Spears channels a 1920s flapper in black and white. We have to say, her makeup looks a lot better in the video lighting for this scene than it did in the still photos, which were in color -- the exaggerated tones look more subtle in the black and white finish. She rocks a tiara and dances around for a girl unpacking a suitcase.
Next, Spears dons a black bob wig and matching sparkly leotard, complete with heavily padded and feathery shoulders, for a handsome, headphone-sporting guy. She also wears a sparkly cross, and this time her name is punctuated with a question mark -- as if he can't believe it's really her.
In terms of transformation yet remaining consistent, the commercial captures the essence of Britney Spears: sexy, but sweet. We imagine that's what her fragrance smells like, too!

I agree. I don't do bite work but I do have my opinions and observations.
Bitework is very exciting for the handler and the dog. It's also dangerous. It's a dog biting someone. That's why I agree with Ant. Logic, to me, dictates having a dog that is obscenely obedient prior to introduction to bitework. It's a safety thing.
Demo wrote:Large amounts of obedience work in a young dog can squash drive early and create an inhibited animal
Inhibition is something you want in a dog that does bitework. That way the "handler" can control the dog that much more. As far as inhibiting drive....not sure about that. I guess it would depend on what someones interpretation of drive is.
Demo wrote:This can also happen with a dog that is primarily marker trained (actually it can get much worse in such a dog). Instead of squashing drive with corrections you create a dog whose first instinct is to look to the handler for a reward, instead of to the decoy.
Looking to the handler for reward is not the pinnacle of marker training. For instance bitework in it's self would be the reward. With marker training you reward the behavior you want to reinforce. If you want the dog to look at you that's what you reward. If you want him to stay focused on the decoy then that's what you reward.
I can honestly say that Red was NOT started on bitework until she was 8 months old adn had LOTS of obedience on her. I did a lot of tug with her at home but she never got into bitework until she knew "aus" withotu a hesitation. This is NOT how most sport dog trainers train BUT I'm not most. I want a higher level of obedience ona dog BEFORE we start bitework. That's me adn as far as it killing drive, it will in an average dog but that's where choosing the right sport dog puppy comes into affect. Red had a VERY high level of Obeience before we started going to the club but she has MORE drive than 90% of the other dogs there. It all comes down to the INDIVIDUAL DOG and TRAINER! I do not think that it necessarily leads to instability in tempermant because most of the sport dogs I have seen have been WAY more stable than the average pet.
You do NOT want inhibition in PP dog or a sport dog. That does not mean that tyhe dog is goign to bite whenever. Nor does havingit make it easier to control a dog. In fact it couldn't be farther from the truth. LOL I am still a beginner and learn new things everyday. I have only been doing Sch with a pit bul for 2 yeasrs. Before that I did PP with Rotties and let me tell you. That's a tough dog to train adn work. Just happens my next dog will eb a rottie. LOL

Black Entertainment Television, better known by its acronym BET, has been cultivating, showcasing, and reinforcing Black culture and entertainment for over three decades. Every summer the network hosts the BET Awards, celebrating talented contributions to categories like best male and female artist, best actor and actress, viewer's choice, best new artist, humanitarian, and lifetime achievement. The awards are embroidered with anticipated musical performances, celebrity presenters, and are hosted by some of Hollywood's most brilliant stars; this year hosted by 'Rush Hour' funny man Chris Tucker. The two hour celebration of Black entertainment and culture has since become known as the BET Experience, but this year marked the first annual augmentation of the experience; extending it to a weekend long festival and panning the spotlight from the celebrities over to the fans for a change.
With a venue considered to be the most entertaining place on the planet, the BET Experience found its new home this year at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA. From Friday June 28th, 2013 through Sunday June 30th, 2013, the city of L.A. was invited to take part in a larger than life, free fan festival that boasted a Taste of Soul food celebration, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, giveaways, and a rare opportunity to interact with their favorite shows, music, and entertainers sans the usual barrier of their television screens.
Thursday evening, June 28th kicked off the weekend in good spirits with the premier of comedian Kevin Hart's hilarious new movie 'Let Me Explain'. The following three days were a fan riveted whirlwind of concerts showcasing up-and-coming artists to watch, a celebrity basketball game, contests, health and wellness seminars, and panel discussions where fans were able to pick the brains of their favorite celebrities. Amidst all the hustle and bustle stood two oases from the sweltering June heat; the BET and Centric brand pavilions. Both were meticulously decorated, mercifully air-cooled, and equipped to provide viewers with multiple mediums and plush couches on which to watch their favorite movies and shows as well as preview new fall programming.
Tickets and VIP packages were available for purchase granting extended access to the BET Experience. Ticket wielding fans were privy to the BET Awards Lifetime Achievement exhibit at the Grammy Museum, comedy shows featuring the jocular genius of Mike Epps and Cedric the Entertainer, and concerts headlined by Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Miguel, The Roots, Nelly, Eve, MC Lyte, Too Short; and the incomparable, R&B, pop, soul, and hip-hop pseudo deity, Mrs. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter herself. Sunday's BET Awards followed by a few well-placed, celebrity-hosted after parties consummated the first annual BET Experience at L.A. Live.
Mass quantities of fan appreciation, culture, and entertainment are enough to make one's head spin; and it's quite easy to forget that someone actually had to plan it all! Every minute detail that brought the BET and Centric brand Pavilions to life was carefully animated and executed by the talented Ms. Kimberly Seeherman, phenomenal event producer, designer, and founder of her event planning firm Events By Fabulous. A Princeton University graduate and neuroscience major, Ms. Seeherman credits her event producing prowess to her scientific and analytical background. Her systematic regard allows her to isolate the many different elements that go into creating the perfect affair and assemble them flawlessly. "Science is the art of creation," Kimberly explains, "It's what allows me to be a miracle worker." Kimberly considered the viewers in every aspect of the BET Experience, from the Photo Bombing booths where fans' pictures were digitally inserted into celebrity photos, to the custom built structures, and hand selected furniture furbishing the posh pavilions. Even though every fan wasn't able to attend the BET Awards, the BET Experience permeating the awnings cultivated an inclusive environment, and made every fan feel like they were a part of something special. With a mere few weeks' time and a mission to bring BET and Centric programming to life in a way that was unique and tangible for fans and viewers, Ms. Seeherman contributed to exquisitely actualizing the first of many annual weekend long celebrations of music, entertainment, and Black culture.

Here We Go Again
2 comments:
I wouldn't say either 2007 or 2006 is a "vintage of the century" for Brunello. The 2006 is wrapped tight as a hardball and is going to take a long time to unwind, while the 2007 is more skittish, and to be frank I think it's good but the jury is out on greatness and won't be in for a while.ReplyDelete
As for what is a "vintage of the century," I can say that something released in the past decade, no matter what the vintages of the decade have been like, is not it. Releases of the century take time to emerge, and I'll be happy to talk about 82, 85, and 90, and perhaps 99 Brunello, but wouldn't come much closer to the present. We all remember (or should remember) the hype that followed 1997, and look where it is now.
Kyle: Thanks for your insightful comments.ReplyDelete
We agree that neither 2006 or 2007 is a "vintage of the century", but I do think they are excellent wines. You are absolutely correct that any discussion of greatness should only come after several years in the bottle. That's exactly my point in writing this post- the writers and retailers who are pushing these just-released wines realize that wines from 1999 and 1990 and older years are simply not available these days, so they have to deal with current offerings. It's clearly self-promotion on their part and the buyer- or reader - needs to be aware of this.
This is also a sad reflection of our times. It's like the old quote about telling a big enough lie and enough people will believe it. Scream loud enough these days and enough people will hear you.

Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" just survived something more painful than a summer with Snooki -- 10 agonizing days in the hospital with kidney stones ... TMZ has learned.
Sources in Ronnie Magro's camp tell us the 27-year-old got out of a Florida hospital Wednesday after undergoing two surgeries to treat kidney stones ... and more.
Ronnie initially went in for the stones, but we're told docs discovered he was born with a hereditary disorder that's also fouling up his kidney function.
Doctors still haven't cleared Ronnie to fly -- so he's stuck in FL for the time being.
Btw, we're told Sammi "Sweetheart" was with Ronnie for his entire 10-day hospital stay ... so they probably broke up at least twice.

Throttle Body Injection On A Budget
We're going to give you three words that strike fear into the hearts of many hot rodders, even more so than "wiring" or "upholstery." Electronic fuel injection. There, we said it! But the simple fact of the matter is, EFI shouldn't scare anyone. Or at least it shouldn't anymore. Images of tuning using laptop computers and miles of wiring leading to any number of mysterious black boxes can be dispelled nowadays. Of course, you can still have that if you wish, but you can also have "fit and forget" EFI too.
To prove our point, we followed along at Kiwi Steve's Hot Rod Shop as the guys were installing throttle body injection (TBI) on Jules Engoren's '34 phaeton. Jules has owned the tub forever; in fact it was his first real car, and he drives it everywhere. A few years back he installed a crate ZZ4 engine, but noticed a lack of power at high altitudes, such as in Colorado, and not-so-great fuel economy at speeds above 70 mph. Yes, this is one well-traveled and hard-driven hot rod, and Jules wanted it to remain that way. Discussions with Kiwi Steve led to the decision to replace the Edelbrock carburetor with fuel injection, but on a budget. Which is why the throttle body itself and the distributor are OEM GM swap meet finds. The throttle body is what you'd find on an '88-95 Suburban or truck with a 350ci engine. The adaptor plate and even the wiring harness, though brand-new, were sourced on everyone's favorite Internet auction site.
That harness was produced by Howell Engine Developments, which is also where the ECM was sourced from. In fact all the components used here are available from Howell, and indeed they can supply a Universal V-8 Throttle Body kit, but where OEM parts from a parts house or good used parts could be used for this particular job, they were. The ECM is the computer that mounts inside the car. Howell uses GM ECMs, which are commonly found in pickups and vans from 1987-95. They are tested and carry a guarantee, and the Howell Throttle Body Injection wiring harness is designed to work with these ECMs. Howell also offers custom-calibrated, application-specific PROMs, the "chip," if you will, that sets the parameters for engine and transmission (if electronically controlled) calibration. It would be easy to get lost in the differences between ECMs and PCMs and PROMs and MEM-CALS here, so we'll simply say do some research for your application, such as year of engine and transmission, or leave it to the experts such as the guys at Howell, who will be able to hook you up. Meanwhile, we'll concentrate on the application in our guinea pig phaeton.
Before we start, we should mention that it's a good idea to trial-fit everything before modifying anything, check for clearance for the new fuel supply and return lines (yes, you'll need to add a return line for injected motors) against the intake manifold, adaptor, or distributor, and check for clearance between the hood or radiator braces and the throttle body. We should also mention that one thing we haven't shown here is the speed sensor, an electronic pulse generator that mounts in the speedometer drive to tell the ECM when the car is at rest or at what speed it's traveling.
We couldn't run an article on easy-to-install throttle body fuel injection without mentioning this new system from FAST. The EZ-EFI system is a self-tuning injection system that can support up to 550hp and is supplied complete with the ECU, oxygen sensor, wiring harness, and optional fuel pump.
The business end of the package is the 4150 throttle body which can be bolted to any existing 4150-type inlet manifold and includes appropriate injectors and fuel rails. The original throttle linkage can be used and it accepts all OEM sensors. FAST claims the system can be installed in less than a day and doesn't require any EFI experience or expertise. Once the hardware is installed, a few Setup Wizard questions have to be answered on the included handheld display and the system tunes itself while the car is driven.

Vikes' Frazier is Concerned About Simpson's Health
Viking head coach Leslie Frazier spoke to the media today and expressed concern over Jerome Simpson's pregame injury to his ankle and that they will do a MRI today to determine the severity of it. He suggested that the injury may have effected his back and legs. Simpson played sparingly Sunday against Tennessee and didn't record a catch.
Frazier said running back Adrian Peterson's ankle injury is less severe and he played through it. Frazier indicated that linebacker Marvin Mitchell and safety Andrew Sendejo are expected back at practice this week.
The Vikings are 4-1 and will play at Washington Sunday at 3:25, pregame on WJON at 2:00. Hear more on the Vikings Thursday night from 6-7pm on Vikings Live at Winter Park on AM 1390-the Fan.

Small Island Developing States urged to find sustainable solutionAug 27, 2013
As the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) prepare for their Third International Conference in Samoa, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Associate Administrator Rebeca Grynspan stressed yesterday the need for world leaders to take decisive action to reduce poverty and put the world on a sustainable and equitable development path.
In her opening remarks at the interregional preparatory meeting in Barbados, she emphasized that rapid environmental degradation, climate change and growing inequalities need immediate attention.
Ms. Grynspan highlighted that while SIDS have made significant strides towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in health, education, gender equality and water and sanitation, action must be taken to address pollution, rising sea levels, ocean acidification and biodiversity loss. "These are problems that SIDS, in most cases, have done very little to cause and that exacerbate structural vulnerabilities on top of the normal challenges developing countries already face."
Speaking to close to two hundred delegates from over forty countries she explained that while these challenges were recognized by member states in Rio and it was agreed that environmental, social and economic objectives must be pursued simultaneously, the concept has not yet been put into action.
Ms. Grynspan said that the time has come to turn promises into action, making the 2014 Apia Conference in Samoa a vehicle for global action and urged SIDS to "continue to be effective leaders and role models, demonstrating in practice the change they want to see."
According to her, the Samoa conference could also build on the commitment from leaders to increase support for SIDS, which would help to generate the financing, technology and support it needs and influence the post 2015-development agenda as well.
"SIDS unite diverse actors around strategic initiatives that can trigger long-term sustainable development like supporting the blue economy," Ms. Grynspan said. "This could help SIDS carve a niche in the global economy while protecting and harnessing the oceans to develop fisheries, build tourism and identify new resources."Contact information

Remembering George Harrison
It was 12 years ago Friday (November 29th, 2001) that George Harrison died after a long battle with cancer, at age 58. Harrison, the first of the Beatles to embrace Eastern philosophies and culture, will also be remembered for his humanitarian efforts, such as his 1971 Concert For Bangladesh for famine relief. Last year, the Martin Scorsese HBO documentary George Harrison: Living In The Material World snagged two awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony held at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre. The critically acclaimed doc won the prizes for Outstanding Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming.
Following Harrison's death, an obviously distraught Paul McCartney met the press outside his Sussex, England home and spoke lovingly about his original friend in the Beatles: "He was a lovely man, I love him dearly. I grew up with him and I like to remember all the great times we had together in Liverpool and with the Beatles and ever since, really. Great sense of humor -- I was lucky enough to see him a couple of weeks ago and he was still laughing and joking. Very brave man, and I'm just privileged to have known him, and I love him like he's my brother. It's a very sad day for me and for a lot of people, but I think he would have wanted us to get on and be loving and remember him as the great man he was."
After the Beatles split in 1970, Harrison's solo career kicked off with the Number One hit "My Sweet Lord" and the Number One album All Things Must Pass. He was also responsible for organizing 1971's The Concert For Bangladesh, which was the first major rock fundraiser, which paved the way for countless other music-supported benefits over the years.
Harrison wrote such Beatles classics as "Don't Bother Me," "I Need You," "You Like Me Too Much," "Think For Yourself," "If I Needed Someone," "Taxman," "I Want To Tell You," "Love You To," "Within You, Without You," "Blue Jay Way," "It's Only A Northern Song," "It's All Too Much," "The Inner Light," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Piggies" "Long, Long, Long," "Savoy Truffle," "I Me Mine," "For You Blue," "Old Brown Shoe," "Something," and "Here Comes The Sun," among others.
Other solo hits included "What Is Life," "Bangla Desh," "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)," "Dark Horse," "You," "This Song," "Crackerbox Palace," "Blow Away," "All Those Years Ago," and his 1987 comeback single "Got My Mind Set On You," which is the last solo Number One single by any former Beatle to date.
In 1971, Harrison produced Ringo Starr's initial solo singles "It Don't Come Easy" and "Back Off Boogaloo," as well also co-writing Starr's first Number One hit "Photograph" with him in 1973.
Shortly after his return to the spotlight in 1987, Harrison co-founded the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. In 1991 he undertook a brief tour of Japan with Eric Clapton and his band.
His widow Olivia Harrison has led a successful reissue campaign of the Harrison solo catalogue, including a recent box set of the Traveling Wilburys material. An upcoming collection featuring highlights of Harrison's sole North American solo tour from 1974 is said to be in the works for the near future. Olivia also served as the executive producer for the Living In The Material World documentary.
