I'm in Afghanistan and don't have photos of the camera to hand, but I'm sure you know what it looks like anyway…. I'll post some when I'm back in the UK and later on in the review I will post quite a few photos taken with the camera, which are much more important!
I'm now going to review what is quite possibly one of the most absurd cameras ever made: the Leica Monochrom, also referred to by some as the 'MM'. Oh, how people laughed when they announced this 'cynical money-grabbing dinosaur of a camera'. They said that Leica really revealed their boutique mentality with this one, insulted the intelligence of every serious photographer and were clearly visualising 'Aston Martins, bespoke suits and Henley Regatta' when they considered their target market. However, off I went to Mayfair Leica using public transport, returned to my 700 sq. ft flat, sat my Next jeans clad bottom on the Ikea sofa and opened the box of a demo Monochrom. Now I will attempt to explain why this was one of the best thought out purchases I have ever made, along with Aldi Oliver Cromwell Gin.
The controversy surrounding this camera has certainly been interesting. It's incredibly expensive (£6000/$8000), based on a 2009 camera (the Leica M9), uses an evolution of a sensor that first debuted in the 2006 Leica M8 and can't even take colour photographs. Its basically a Leica M9 with something missing (the Bayer array) and retails at a whopping £2000/$2500 more than the Leica ME, which is essentially the current production version of the M9. If you are already feeling ashamed for Leica, I'll now point out that the Monochrom is £500 more expensive than the Leica M (aka M240), the latest CMOS sensor model which hosts a raft of features and improvements entirely absent from the Monochrom.
So, the question has to be 'why on Earth would anyone in their right mind purchase this camera'? While few people would consider me to be of right mind at any time of day, I think the answer is simple: it happens to be the best camera in the world for a small niche of photographers. Who knows, maybe you are one of them?
First Impressions
This is one solid, Teutonic, minimalist piece of anti-jewellery that is so cool it has become jewellery again. And then not. This camera could easily have been Darth Vader's favourite accessory… the one he never left the Death Star without. It's something to do with how the matt black chassis integrates the rear LCD and buttons about as well as Vader's chest plate did all those coloured buttons borrowed from slot machines: absolutely ridiculous, but somehow just right. People still laugh and shake their heads, but they both work. It might have been pink, but Darth could certainly swing a light sabre and the same can be said of the Monochrom when it comes to taking incredible B&W photographs. At this point I'd like to ensure that everyone understands that this camera does not take photos or snaps. It takes photographs. The former are casual, even frivolous, but there is nothing James Hunt about this camera. Instead, its all Nikki Lauda and I seem to recall that he was rather good at winning Formula One races.
In fact, the camera is so anti-digital that right now, somewhere, there is a hipster trying to stuff a roll of 1972 Tri-X into the memory card slot. OK, I'll stop now, but if you crossed Erwin Rommel with a ninja and a camera, you'd have the Leica Monochrom. Sorry.
Everyone reading this will know this is a Black and White only camera. The Bayer array is absent meaning that the light hitting the 18MP sensor is not subject to Red Green and Blue filtration before doing so. Some of you will have heard that the resultant 'quality' is far better than you have any right to expect from a modest 18MP. Some of you will be sceptical, but I will say at this point, the image quality is two things: spectacular and unique. Some have commented that it's nothing but a M9 without the Bayer filter and this is largely true, but surely it's the results that count and they are rather special.

Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) — The imperialists are making desperate efforts to stem the violent trend of the world people advancing along the road of independence, but no force on the earth can check the onward movement of the world people advancing independently with their destiny in their own hands, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says in an article.
The article goes on:
Independence is justice and victory and victory is sure to come when struggling with firm faith on the basis of the correct methodology.
Independence should be maintained in politics, self-support achieved in the economy and self-reliance in national defence enhanced.
The countries aspiring after independence should unite and struggle for international justice.
An independent new world can be built when unity is achieved.
The imperialists fear most the world people following the road of independence in close unity and solidarity.
When the broad people in the world struggle, united close under the uplifted banner of independence and justice, they can foil any aggression moves of the imperialists and their strategy of strength and realize the global independence.
Nothing can check the current of development of history toward independence.
The world progressive people should vigorously wage the struggle against imperialism and hegemony, with the faith that independence is justice and victory.

"Landscaping for the country's four new prisons will cost more than $11 million." 18 April, 2006

A man is doing his weekend gardening. On the grass in front of him is a little tree with a label attached all ready to plant next to the washing line. His dog lies beside him in the sunshine. While he digs he listens to the radio and is somewhat nonplussed to hear that landscaping for the four new prisons will cost $11 million.

The momentum behind integration of OpenDoc and Java grew this week with confirmation from a visiting IBM rep that IBM is actively pursuing the concept.
Scott Bain, of IBM's competitive project office, has confirmed to @IDG that "we are merging the concept of Java with OpenDoc - there's a lot of activity going on there. There are a lot of people looking at the concept of integrating the two, looking at ways of adding more of an object structure to Java than what we currently have.
"That's what Microsoft is trying to do with ActiveX but the Object Management Group selected OpenDoc as its compound document framework and we want to try and work with that, rather than against it."
Bain emphasised the point of open standards during his presentation on network-centric computing at this week's Computerworld Expo. He also ventured that Microsoft would be pushing ActiveX Controls as its own Java alternative this year.
"I know it will be doing that. But at the same time it is making provision to handle Java. Java applets will be able to run in ActiveX. But why Microsoft would choose not to participate in a standards-based world and to instead develop its own proprietary technology is something it has to answer to.
"It has made extensions, but nonethless they're based on the fact that Microsoft controls part of the definitions. It's a case of taking a piece of proprietary technology and trying to make it a little more open than it currently is."
Bain says OpenDoc (currently in beta for OS/2) will be "incorporated in the next release of OS/2 and will be made available on other platforms by the end of the year", but that IBM's most significant product release this year will be the integrated Lotus Notes and InterNotes around the middle of the year.

Locating Design Anthropology in Research and Practice: PhD workshops provoke expansion of cross-disciplinary horizons
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
As an emerging field, design anthropology appears to be in the formative stages of establishing an intellectual and disciplinary location, currently caught in the turbulent waters between theory and application, academia and industry, research and practice. While the unclear nature of this new collaboration may be confronting for research students from either traditional academic discipline areas, such as anthropology, or from established practice-based design industries, it does offer the opportunity for investigative and methodological experimentation at doctoral level. The connection between design and anthropology has always been implicit; the challenge lies in making it explicit and accessible for through ongoing education, research and practice.

2012 Toyota Prius C: I'm Entune Again
September 18, 2012
If you read our long-term intro for the�2012 Toyota Prius C, you know that just like our long-term�Camry SE, it has Toyota's Entune interface for smartphones. Over the months we've owned our Camry, several editors have commented that the setup process�requires too many steps and that the apps themselves add�minimal functionality.
I can't say I disagree strongly with either sentiment, but the reality is if you want traffic data to show up on our Three model's standard navigation system's maps, you have to set up Entune. I wouldn't suggest that this traffic data is as accurate as that provided by the Inrix app on my phone, but there's still�something to be said for having it on a larger screen embedded in the dash.
So last night I went through the steps, which on the plus side, are�exactly the same�as in the Camry: Step 1, plug in previously Bluetooth-paired�iPhone via USB port (step 1 not required if you have an Android phone). Step 2, open previously downloaded Entune app on phone; enter previously registered Entune login credentials when prompted by app. Step 3, hit "yes" when car asks if you want to set up an Internet connection. Step 4, hit the Traffic app button in the car's Apps menu. Step 5, go to Maps in the car's Apps menu; shortly, the desired green-yellow-red traffic density highlighting will appear on the map.
Mind you, a normal person would/should bristle at going through all these steps, but the inconvenience is easier to justify in a $23K Prius C than a $28K Camry.�Plus, overall, I still prefer this nav system to the cheapy, slow-witted one in our Subaru BRZ.

Your experience of things being over-priced
I work above an militantly-dickheaded organic food place.
There was talk of someone paying £1.50 for a lemon.
Also that pub in Angel the craft beer place
also came across THIS offer: http://www.bavarian-beerhouse.co.uk/index.php/foodanddrinks/schnitzelmadness
I think calling £15 for a schnitzel and a pint "Madness" is stretching it somewhat.
Also drinking in Paris.
Drinking in Paris wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be
But then again, we just had a few beers here and there so could have just got lucky.
I just remember paying 5 Euros for a half in a venue
I was like "mate: zut"
how expensive was the toast?plasticniki this'd this
everything in iceland apart from the hotdogs
was charged £2 to look at a hole at one pointJordan_229_2 this'd this
Reykjavik is pricey. I remember coming
out of a pub pretty sober despite having spent £40 on pints on me alone. A Guinness cost £8. There was a thread near here about Oslo. I found Oslo more expensive than Reykjavik.
£25 to cross the Øresund Bridge
on a motorbike ffs.
Pizza Hut/Dominos
I know it's nice and all but I always chicken out of ordering one for £10-15 and just walk to the local Co-Op to get a pizza and host of other things for about a fiver all in.japes this'd this
Dominoes is getting silly
over £15 for any pizza basically, add in extras and stuffed crusts and it is pushing £20. Add in sides etc and you get fuck all for £30+. We did it with a 50% off voucher and still felt a bit ripped off. Sure the pile of cardboard boxes looked pretty but take it all out and put it on plates and we actually laughed. The local kebab shop does pizzas which are probably better for £5.
Put it this way, next time anyone gets a Dominoes, compare it to what they could get at even a classy restaurant for the same price.
dominos must make so much money
I have no idea why
their pizzas are crap. Must just be the fact you can get it delivered and do it all online. Maybe some places don't have any alternatives.
Those Bavarian Beerhouses properly take the piss price-wise...
...to the extent that it would literally cost the same amount to actually go to an actual beerhouse in actual Bavaria as it would to pick up the tab for a session in one of them. Kuntz.
When I was in Poland in August I went to some ***CRAFT BEER***
bar and they were selling Sambook's beer amongst other shit. It's just, you know, ale, around £3.50-£4.50 if you get a pint, of say, Wandle here. In London, where's it's had a travel a few miles MAXIMUM to reach your lips.
In Warsaw it was a quid a pint I SHIT YOU NOT.
^this is something I really struggle to get my head around.
I know it's taxes and that but REALLY?
one of my pints costs over £4 in london last weekend.
it's fucking outrageous
The price of antiperspirant spray has rocketed in the last year
and offers are becoming increasingly rare. You're looking at £3+ these days to not smell like cat_race.
I've heard you can get your clammy mitts on the big antiperspirant brands at Poundland but I have a reputation to maintain.
Service Station Burger King
I think the total last time was around £19. Two burger meals, onion rings and maybe another side. Decent feed, but it was on the way to Cornwall where we had a Rick Stein fish and chips takeaway, one of them something weird like sea bream, mushy peas, an oyster and drinks. Checked the credit card statement and it was less than the BK.
Had a Frankie & Benny's recently, that came to over £30 including drinks. It was pretty shit, I didn't want to go but these chain places make life so easy that sometimes people can't help it.
In response to that Bavarian deal.
Just yesterday in Budapest I got a giant schnitzel and 0.5l beer for £7.30. That's quite expensive for Budapest too, but when I say giant I really do mean giant, here' s a pic https://twitter.com/elyeah_/status/412678573791907840/photo/1

Parque de la Ceiba
|Parque de la Ceiba
The Ceiba tree at Parque de la Ceiba in Barrio San Anton in Ponce, PR, as it appeared in November 2010
|Passive park
|PR-133/Calle Comercio, Cuatro Calles sector, Barrio San Antón, in Ponce, Puerto Rico
|approx 0.6 cuerdas
|Operated by
|Autonomous Municipality of Ponce
|Open Daily, 8am to 4:30pm
Parque de la Ceiba (English: Ceiba Tree Park) is a passive park in sector Cuatro Calles of barrio San Antón, Ponce, Puerto Rico. Its centerpiece is the historic Ceiba tree, a tree associated with the founding of the city. Now surrounded by the park with the same name, the emblematic 500-year-old Ceiba tree stands on the edge of the Ponce Historic Zone.[1][2] The park opened in 1984, under the administration of Mayor Jose Dapena Thompson.[3]
The park is located on Comercio street, next to Rio Portugues in the Cuatro Calles sector of barrio San Antón.[4] Today the area is a mixed residential/commercial area on urban route PR-133. The park is managed by the Ponce municipal government.[5] The tree is about half a mile east of Plaza Las Delicias.
The park sits on an area believed to have been the site of the first settlement of Europeans in the Ponce region.[6] "In the surroundings of the legendary Ceiba de Ponce, broken pieces of indigenous pottery, shells, and stones were found to confirm the presence of Taino Indians long before the Spaniards that latter settled in the area."[7]
It has been said that this tree was already a large tree at the time of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the New World. Reference is also made to a book that suggests the tree already existed in 1696, and an 1818 map of Ponce by Alejandro Ordóñez shows the location of the tree.[8][9]
In 1916, the tree measured 118 feet in circumference, measured at 4 feet from the ground surface.[10][11]
An image of the tree taken in 1900. Notice the photographer, at right,taking pictures of tourists posing on the tree.
The tree[edit]
The feature of the park is the historic centuries-old tree. The tree is also known as kapok tree and silk cotton tree. The scientific name of the tree is Ceiba pentandra. The legendary tree belongs to the genus Ceiba, of the species pentandra, and the family Bombacaceae.[12] The word Ceiba comes from a Taino word pronounced say-bah. Ceiba is one of the largest and tallest trees in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere. They have been known to reach heights of over 180 feet.[13] The tree is closely related to the peculiar baobab trees of Africa.[14] The Ceiba tree is also Puerto Rico's official national tree.[15]
The tree has recently been decaying and, on 30 December 2006, it lost a large limb that accounted for some 30% of its foliage at that time. The channeling of Rio Portugues and the development of a nearby recreational area have been mentioned as possible causes for the rapid deterioration of the tree in recent years.[16] In June 2009, the environmentalist group ProOrnato Inc and the government of the municipality of Ponce joined efforts to preserve the old tree in a weekend-long event.[4] On 18 July 2011, however, the tree lost another large limb. After this event, only 35% of the remaining tree was estimated to still be alive.[17]
The fruit of the Ceiba tree contains a fiber that is eight time lighter than cotton and five times more buoyant than cork. As such it was used as the flotation for early life preservers. In addition to these attributes, the fiber fully repels water, has a low thermal conductivity and is resistant to rot. A little known fact is that before synthetics were used for insulation materials, mattresses and pillows, these were stuffed with the fiber of the Ceiba tree fruit. It was recently discovered that the absorption capacity of this fiber is also higher than that of the polypropylene material normally used in the cleanup of environmental oil spills. "The wood of the Ceiba tree is exceedingly lightweight and easily worked. However, because it lacks durability and is susceptible to insects and decay, it was mostly used for the construction of large canoes by the indigenous inhabitants of the region."[18] Canoes made of Ceiba tree trunks were able to seat over 100 men.[19]
In the arts[edit]
La Ceiba de Ponce is depicted in Francisco Oller's first impressionist landscape masterpiece (1888) and on display at the Museo de Arte de Ponce.[20]

text: Authorities responded to a car fire along U.S. Highway 12 east of Bath on Monday night. The 1999 Dodge Intrepid started ablaze as the adult male motorist was driving along the highway, said Brown County Sheriff's Deputy Terry Evans. The driver, who was alone, pulled onto the westbound shoulder, Evans said. No one was injured, he said. Flames from the fire, which is believed to have started in the engine compartment, were easily visible, said Groton Fire Chief Dion Bahr. "As we were approaching, we could probably see them for three miles at least, probably even more than that," Bahr said. "When we arrived on scene, the car was totally engulfed from the engine compartment to the trunk." The westbound lanes of Highway 12 were closed in that area for a short time while the fire was put out, Evans said. The burned-out car was a total loss and was towed. The state Department of Transportation was called to salt or sand the ice, Bahr said. Bahr stressed the importance of knowing where you are when you call 911; Groton firefighters were first sent east of Groton. Besides the sheriff's office and the Groton Fire Department, the state Highway Patrol, Bath Fire Department and Groton Police Department responded, Evans said. The call came in at 8:37 p.m.

Well, I didn't go to the caucus, but Obama was the big winner in Kansas on February 4th.
Now it is Thursday, February 28th.
Headline in the NYTs: 1 in 100 U.S. Adults Behind Bars, New Study Says. This is an amazing stat. I wonder what the incarceration rate for adults was in Great Britain in the early 19th Century?

Owner/Founder of RegalBlue Productions
Class of 1992
Tell us about your accomplishments to date.
When my wife and I started Regalblue Production in May 2002, we invested all of our savings in this business and at that time we had only one camera. To date the company has won four RTB awards for "Best Drama TV Series" and in 2013 we produced our first feature film entitled, "Ada Apa Dengan Rina" (What's so special about Rina?). This film was self-funded and was the first to have used only local artists; and Bruneian dialect. At that time, there were people who had doubts about what we were endeavouring to achieve, but I firmly believed in this project and was determined to see it produced. Our team effort was rewarded at the ASEAN International Film Festival & Awards (AIFFA) in 2013, when the film received international acknowledgement for the use of dialect by winning the "Special Jury Award" and was also nominated for "Best Comedy" and "Official Selection". Our film has also represented Brunei in 12 international film festivals around the word. We also started the first private recording studio in 2009; and was the only company selected by the University of Malaysia Sarawak, to provide an annual 12 week industrial placement for Cinematography students. We now also train students from IBTE MTSSR Campus and Universiti Brunei Darussalam. Our mission is to keep on raising the bar in this industry. We want to continue recruiting and training local talent who have a keen interest in the field of audio visual production. And I am proud to say that we currently have 12 staff members, many of whom have been with us for many years. I believe that our family centred environment has helped us to grow from strength to strength. We believe that it is important for our employees to be happy in order to be creative. Therefore we care about our staff and respect everyone's skills, time, talent and hard work.
How did your training and experience at IBTE help to shape who you are today?
From as far back as I could remember I was always interested in taking things apart to see how they worked. I taught myself how to repair radios, televisions and VCD players and soon realised that I wanted to learn more about this line of work. I recognised that my strength was in practical skills and the course at IBTE enabled me to develop my practical skills as well as to improve my theoretical knowledge. I had many instructors who encouraged me and helped me along the way like Mr. Davindrum; Mr. Romzi and Mrs. Aisyah. While at IBTE I did an industrial attachment at the RTB Film Unit and learnt about videos and cameras; and also about lighting, directing and script writing. I believe that the IBTE course gave me a sound understanding of electronics and paved the way for me to continue expanding my knowledge in this field. In fact, later on I participated in an ASEAN COCI Workshop for film and media students and it was here that I met my wife, Nurain Abdullah who had a Degree in Mass Communications – and together, we've worked tirelessly to build our company's reputation.
What advice would you like to share with this year's graduating class?
First of all, make sure that you choose a career that you are passionate about, so that you do not have to work for your whole life. Choose a field that you are really interested in and be committed to working in that field. And remember that no job is ever easy, so you should never give up at the first hurdle, you need to persevere if you want to achieve success. I believe that everything is possible – with prayer and the right attitude.

|LISA DEWEY – Weather
Changer Girl
DJ Modern Mark (KSCU)
July 2002
LISA DEWEY Weather Changer Girl
With a personal image more righteous than any babe and a style to fit
any mood, you will find yourself talking about Lisa to all your friends
and lovers. Her voice will grab your attention "weather" or not she's
moody with etherialism ("Watching Her Fingers") or shunning out someone
who thinks they are her lover ("I'm Not Your Lover"). On Weather
Changer Girl, her second CD, you will find everything from ethereal
landscapes ("Stormy Colored Clouds") to I-have-something-to-say
dedications ("Takin' Out the trash"). Slightly more serious and darker
that her cute fancy-dancy debut Lola CUKI, Lisa has taken the time to
impress the listener with an album that has an edge like no other. The
Hope Sandoval and Cocteau Twins influences are evident, but this rising
local artist could easily make any listener perk their ears toward her
mysterious, yet attractive spellbinding direction.
-DJ Modern Mark
Calendar Pick from Santa Cruz Metro July 24 -31, 2002
July 25, 2002
Lisa Dewey and Bethany Curve Friday July 26, 2002 Cayuga Vault; 1100
Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz, CA. Both of these acts have been favorably
compared to the Cocteau Twins, and both have been described as dreamy,
multilayered, atmospheric pop. San Jose's pinup-girl gothling, Lisa
Dewey, along with her excellent backing band The Lotus Life, also
recalls early Everything But the Girl, with her part-folk, part-jazz,
all-gorgeous pop.
-Hiya Swanhuyser Metro Santa Cruz
August 11, 2001
Lisa Dewey's ethereal sound is very pleasant to listen to. Her album
has plenty of gently circling guitars and is crowned by Lisa's cool
voice. Her stylistic resemblance to the Cocteau Twins is underlined by
Simon Raymonde's assistance on some tracks. The softness of most of
the songs is neatly balanced by the more abrasive songs like "Takin'
Out the Trash". Still, this can't prepare the listener for the primal
wail of the closing "I'm Not Your Lover". Arriving at the end of such a
quiet record, it's a totally unexpected thing that makes this album
even more special.
-Anna Maria Stjarnell (www.collectedsounds.com)
KZFR, Chico
'From the land of dot coms and um, Smashmouth, it's a refreshing thing
to put in the new disc by San Jose's own Lisa Dewey and experience
something completely different. "Weather Changer Girl" evokes a sound
pleasantly melodic and hypnotic, yet at the same time with a strong
delivery and sometime growl that holds the pace. Opening track
"Watching Her Fingers" launches the album with a dreamy soundscape that
would make any Cocteau Twin proud. As a matter of fact, this record
does feature a Twin, Simon Raymonde, on two tracks with his mixes on
four of the tracks. While Raymonde's presence is felt especially on
"Heathens" (sounding almost like a lost track from the Cocteau Twins',
Heaven or Las Vegas), Lisa's delivery is all her own with lyrics like
"I wanted to take you on the bar...So... Belly ache goes far...One
down." Pick up this record and hear a talented, new songwriter at work
and at play; doing what she does best.'
-Scott Garfield & Ingrid
Metro San Jose
Local folk/pop/alternative musician, Lisa Dewey's new CD, "Weather
Changer Girl", is true to it's name: It roils with unpredictable
emotional weather, from misty dreamscapes of love and infatuation to
some rumblings of romantic thunder. Four of the album's tracks were
mixed by Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, and throughout the album
there are appealing hints of that group's floaty, ethereal quality, but
always nicely
grounded by Dewey's clear, ringing vocals, solid guitar work and curtly
poetic lyrics. The San Jose-based musician has also founded her own
label, Kitchen Whore Records, and currently has a book of poetry and
short stories titled "spank." available at, among other places, her
website, www.lisadewey.com.

Calendar Pick from Portland Willamette Week
April 2001
Lisa Dewey's delicate yelp not only conjures the Cocteau Twins' wispy
witch, Liz Fraser, she even got some sonic aid from the Twins' Simon
Raymonde on her latest album 'Weather Changer Girl'.
-John Graham
Calendar Pick from Portland Mercury
April 2001
Lisa Dewey is a bit of a car crash of ethereal cool. Her voice is deep
and heavy, the guitars sound like tumbling stars,
and when I hear the music, it makes methink of flowers growing on
Neptune's surface.

Calendar Pick from Metro Santa Cruz
April 4, 2001
'...Speaking of neo-goth, San Jose singer/songwriter, LISA DEWEY played
a marvelous show at the Jury room Saturday, March 31st alongside Sin in
Space. Backed by a mellow three-piece band with 12-string guitars and
plenty of effects pedals, Dewey gracefully
sang simple but pretty tunes full of Cocteau Twins sensibilities.
-David Espinoza
LISA DEWEY Weather Changer Girl (Kitchen Whore Records)(CD)
This talented San Jose chanteuse/poetess has had quite a life so far!!
She played shows with Love andRockets, Sleater Kinney, and Petra Haden
(to name just a few), published a book, and created her own record
label. *She is also a guest singer on Andalusia's newest release.* On
this third album, her band welcomes Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins), who
engineers, plays bass and keyboards on #5, lead guitars on #8. Lisa
wrote all songs, sings with a unique and fervent style, plays acoustic
guitar & more. It's a vessel of doom, gloom and mad demons, but also
soft dreaminess. Experiments ensue with sitar, various types of robust
percussion, dripping electric guitar, ethereal ballads, spacey sound
effects, humble confessions, and fierce prowess. Yeah, she's a little
angry... but aren't we all??
-Angel D. Monique
By Jose Posadas Downtown Magazine
One does not listen to the music of San Jose singer, songwriter and
recording label founder, Lisa Dewey, rather, one is seized by its
haunting rhythms and compelled to surrender to a voice that calls to
mind the Sirens of Greek lore. Lisa lures the listener not to
destruction along jagged rocks surrounding an island but into one's
emotional lair where ghosts, their love tempered, seek shelter from
their mortal wounds. It is said that great art comes from great pain.
Central to everything creative, from paintings to fiction, to sculpture
and to songs, has been the search for love and the all too familiar
journey between hope and despair. Where we are at any one time along
this continuum is what a great song can capture. Lisa's songs invite
the listener to immerse oneself on an introspective journey to places
we otherwise try very hard to avoid.
Lisa Dewey first picked up a guitar at 15 and has been writing songs
since the mid '80's. She performed live for the first time at what was
then Marsugi's downtown and where Agenda now sits. A graduate of SJSU
in 1994, she obtained her degree in Music, specifically Improvised
Music Studies - Voice. She recalls how downtown in the early 1990's
had promise for young performing artists with places like Cactus Club
and Metro Cafe catering to a young audience that wanted live music.
She laments, however, the period from the mid '90's to the end of that
decade when venues downtown for live alternative music grew scarcer and
scarcer. "With the closing of Fuel (a nightclub that featured an
eclectic mix of live music) there is nowhere to go but Plant 51 now,"
Lisa adds. Like a migrant farmer who travels the agricultural circuit
in search of work Lisa has toured Seattle, Portland, Texas, and New
York as well as Los Angeles and local areas like San Francisco, Santa
Cruz and Chico in search of venues in which to perform. Though
performances downtown are rare she has played recently at various
Populus sponsored events such as the SoFA Bazaar on Friday nights. In
the past she has also performed at WORKS, the art gallery on North
Third Street, Camera Cafe and Plant 51.
Complicating the dearth of places downtown that cater to live music she
also cites concerns, shared by some local music promoters, about the
lack of media coverage for local performers and the sophistication of
the audience in the South Bay. For example, a band can perform to a
packed house on an off night in a club in San Francisco but the same
group will only draw a small crowd on a Friday or Saturday night
performing downtown.
In a move to help increase the audience for her music and to help
promote the music of other artists she started her own record label in
1997 called Kitchen Whore Records. Its name, a term of affection in
actuality, originates from her days working in a kitchen at a health
food store. When not producing her own full length CD's or singles she
is in her recording studio assisting the likes of Kelsi Arnold, with
her second full length CD or Bethany Curve of Santa Cruz with a 4-song
CD EP. In addition to a music career Lisa has written a book titled
"spank" which contains poetry, prose, short stories, one-liners and a
recipe. She has also had parts in independent films but it is her
music, which has been featured in some, that defines the artist. Asked
what the difference is in the creative process between her poetry and
lyrics in her songs she replies, "The stories are about my life and
more abstract. The lyrics are more straightforward. The lyrics for my
songs come out of the music as I am in the process of playing it".
Lisa's first full length CD, Lola CUKI, evokes images of dreams caught
in a proverbial feedback loop. Selections such as "Close to My
Honeypot" and "I Caught a Canary" are marked by a pattern of lyrical
repetitiveness that works in large part to the strength and quality of
her voice. Her song "I'll Write", consisting of a mere two-words, is
the songwriting equivalent of minimal art. This stylistic convention
is taken to the extreme in the song "In Search of Terra" that comes in
at over 11 minutes. By the end of the CD one feels as if they have
ferried through dire straits with Lisa serving as the Siren.
Her latest album, Weather Changer Girl, by comparison, offers richer
songwriting and musical accompaniment that is even stronger than what
was found in Lola CUKI. Notable selections are "Watching Her Fingers"
and "I Want To Be Your Matador, Your Bullfighter" that reach a
crescendo of lustful abandon. "Taking Out the Trash" is delivered with
such conviction that it plays like an anthem for all those who have
ever felt slighted by a lover and were compelled to reassert command of
their life. In contrast is the softly sentimental "Stormy Colored
Clouds" that speaks to adoration and submissive longing in lines like,
"I like to listen to the sound of your voice" and "You can stay as long
as you want".
With a new full-length album due to come out in June 2003 under her
band's full name, Lisa Dewey & The Lotus Life, one can only imagine the
musical treats in store from this local talent. If the past is any
indication it will be marked by her strong voice, hypnotic music and
alluring sensuality. Her CD's, book and upcoming shows can be found on

11 year old Milly Evans was awarded just under £11m in one of the biggest settlements for Medical Negligence. She suffered catastrophic brain damage due to inadequate monitoring of her heart rate during labour. Whilst £11m sounds like a lot of money this will be needed to cover the cost of her care for life.
As a result of recent government attacks on Legal Aid cases like this will be extremely difficult to investigate and pursue. It is inevitable that fewer victims will be able to obtain justice.
A few weeks ago I wrote about good news for asbestos victims following what is known as trigger litigation –
The majority of those seeking justice for asbestos illnesses pursue their cases on a no win no fee basis. And many would find it impossible to pursue in any other way especially in the absence of legal aid. The government have agreed to delay bringing in dramatic restrictions on these agreements for mesothelioma victims. But they haven't gone away and the restrictions, which could see victims deprived of up to 25% of their damages will still apply in all other work related health cases.
Many of us are following the Leveson inquiry and the alarming revelations about phone hacking. This scandal came to the fore following news that murder victim Milly Dowler's phone had been hacked. Her family successfully sued News International with the help of a no Win No Fee agreement. The family went on record to say that they could not have pursued the case otherwise –
These cuts are said to be part of a drive to eliminate 'spurious' claims. There is nothing spurious about any of these cases. These are ordinary people seeking justice normally against those who are more wealthy and powerful.
In thirty years this is the most aggressive attack on the rights of ordinary people that I have ever known. Most of the cuts have now passed through parliament – some by the skin of their teeth.
But this does not mean that all those committed to justice should not keep on reminding those in power that this is not acceptable and must change.

Growing up, I was introduced to a very diverse pool of music. As I remember, Sade was playing when I first kissed a girl in grade school; "Lithium" was the very first song I learned to play on guitar in middle school; and I used to stupidly waving gang signs and wear baggy clothes while blasting Tupac in my beat-up blue Ford focus before graduating high school. I can go on to college, but I'll just be rumbling. Nevertheless, having been introduced to a variety of music, I have a deep appreciation for all sorts of music. Yes there are few artists I simply love to hate, but not to the extent that I would publicly defame them given the chance to write with FRANK151. However, the Australian police—given with their time and resources—seem to do so after they released a wanted poster of Nickelback for committing crimes against music.
The authorities in the land down under are at it again. After threatening Johnny Depp 10 years jail time for illegally bringing his dogs in Australia, they are now accusing Nickelback of committing "musical crimes" after the band performed at the Brisbane Entertainment Center. The Queensland Police Service has released a mock-up wanted poster of the band on their Facebook page, with captions, "Police are on the lookout for these men who are believed to be impersonating musicians around Boondall this evening." Moreover, the QPS added more salt on an open wound by advising the townsfolk to, "Avoid the area. It may be hazardous to your hearing and street cred." But then again, it's not the first time the local police have done this. They have posted similar messages on their social media, such as the time when One Direction were in town for a gig. With plenty of time in their disposal, a spokesperson for the officials said, "When there is nothing happening, we try to post things that are interesting and fun so that we can get more people engaged with us."
The crime rate in Australia must be very low, since they have an ample amount of time, leaving our friends in the blue uniform down under trolling the Internet. Shouldn't they focus more on public service announcements that would raise awareness of the dangers and trouble in the community, rather than wasting precious time and resources publicly shaming artists they believe unworthy? I mean come on, I'm pretty sure a more heinous act has happened somewhere in Australia at the time they gloatingly made the wanted poster. It leaves you wondering whether they're doing this out of authoritative power trip or sheer boredom. Front-man singer Chad Kroeger admitted that if it weren't for the haters, the band would be no more, and just laughed off during an interview when a man launched a Kickstarter campaign to ban Nickelback from performing in London. At least the dude with the—not sure if he's blonde or dark haired with highlights—whatever his hair color is, staying productively positive. Leave the trolling job to the great netizens. If I live in Australia, it would be more reassuring if the police are making the place I live in safe, not trolling around social media. Also, I'd like to know that the money I am forced to give the city is put into good use, not wasted on some meme to gain popularity.

A knowledge-based approach to automated conceptual design (flowsheet synthesis) of thermal energy systems with strong interactions between heat/power/chemical transformations is presented. In Part 1, formulation of a thermal design problem is stated in terms of input/output specification, component interaction, feasibility constraints, and penalty function. The problem is then decomposed in inner problems that deal with a set of elementary processes, and outer problems that find a network of components approximating the optimum set of elementary processes. A design state is evaluated using a special form of fundamental equation for steady-state open thermodynamic systems based on a "temperature interval" concept. In Part 2 of this paper, an algorithm is presented. The algorithm makes use of the state evaluation function, transformation operators, and the plausible move operator to search through a space of the design states. A simple closed-cycle gas turbine is employed to illustrate the behavior of the "artificial designer" as it advances from a certain given design to more sophisticated schemes.

How to Avoid Christmas Shopping
A surly attitude
A devil-may-care attitude
Not enough money
Not enough time
Bad weather
Several holiday parties
Several time-wasting drinks/coffee dates
A realization that your car needs a tune-up
Sick kids
Mix all of these in random order during the last two weeks before Christmas.
Drive by the mall on the way home from work. Admire the lights. Curse under your breath when you think how close you are to the last mailing day that you don't have to pay rush charges. You briefly entertain the wild notion of turning in to the mall parking lot, but instantly realize how cranky you will get when you can't find a parking space. Don't stop. Keep driving.
Realize that one of your credit cards is maxed out. Knowing that you will do as much shopping online as is humanly possible, go to the bank and do some quick fund transfers, lickety-split. Go to the drive-through ATM. Be thankful for the drive-through ATM. Realize that it is one thing you like about living in the semi-suburbs. Plan to go to the local bookstore. Tonight. You can take care of at least three gifts there.
Remind yourself that you work well under pressure. You are very good at getting things done at the last minute. In this spirit, instead of heading to the bookstore, make an impromptu date for drinks with a girlfriend. Your husband is out of town, and you hate to squander the opportunity. Warm up Chef-boy-R-Dee for the kids first. Feel no guilt. Feel giddy and relieved. Have a few really good laughs with your friend. Don't talk about the holidays at all. Not even for one minute. Ignore the Christmas decorations at the bar.
In a similar vein, attend several Holiday parties. Dress up so that you feel pretty; wear jewelry you don't normally wear, sparkly stuff, and high heels. Drink enough, but not too much. Do not discuss Christmas shopping; at least not after the first requisite 30 seconds of admitting you haven't started yet. If anyone says that they have already started, or worse, that they are done, walk away immediately. Some discussion of dysfunctional family members is okay. Dancing and singing are good, too. And of course, eating. You are not - I repeat, NOT - to think about calories at this time of year.
Watch the news. Regret having done so because it makes you so angry and sad. Decide to do something positive. Have the kids help you get together some donations for the homeless. Be proud of their enthusiasm. Drop off the donations and feel privately that you can never do enough. Watch the kids gleefully listen to their i-pods in the car on the way home, each sealed in his private universe.
Have both of your kids come down with Strep throat. Do not stress out. Use the trips to the Pediatrician and the Pharmacy as very good excuses not to Christmas shop. Try not to yell at your kids when they start feeling better and bickering. Try not to yell at them when they feel so much better that they are asking you to get off the computer do that they can show you their Wish Lists on Amazon. Send them back to school.
The day you are finally ready to start Christmas shopping (one day before the last non-rush US Mail deadline) make sure that it is raining buckets. I mean a serious downpour. Do not cancel the walk you have already scheduled with a friend first thing that morning. Inhale the cool misty air; appreciate the brilliance of the gold and red leaves still falling from the trees in the blue light. Admire and/or deride the Christmas decorations in front of the houses you walk past. What's cool: 1950's vintage kitsch Santas, even the ones that light up. What isn't cool: contemporary inflatable decorations that look like they're from Wal-Mart.
Finally drive out in the afternoon rain to buy the gifts that need mailing. Turn up the rock and roll music in the car. Sing along. Be glad that it as least a little chilly where you live in Northern California, even though there are tinsel-wrapped palm trees on every other block. Find this a strangely appealing, incongruous sight even after living here for over twenty years. Think about the weather Back East. Think that you are glad you don't have to deal with it. Realize that you car needs a tune-up. You think your brakes feel a little soft. Realize that you will get it all done today, as you always do, because you are good under pressure. You are good when you are in charge, with an imposed deadline. Your father was the same way. Remember him writing out his Christmas cards on the train as you traveled from New York to the Midwest. He scribbled away and could even carry on a conversation at the same time as the train rumbled along the frozen Hudson River. Remember the blocks of blue-gray ice in the water, and the shabby little houses in upstate towns near the train tracks, strings of multicolored lights in their steamy windows; spots of cheer in the bitter cold. Think about the Christmases of your childhood; shoveling driveways, sledding at the golf course, believing in Santa, your uncle with his movie camera, filming you and your cousins in identical red-flannel nightgowns reaching for your stockings, clutching your brand new baby dolls. The light on the camera was so bright, blinding, like the snow outside. Remember how magical it felt Christmas morning, how the snow actually did seem to make a silvery sound when it fell, how your uncle would wink and say how do you know that's not the bell on the hat of an elf, a stray elf left behind to watch you enjoying your loot. Then all the grown-ups would laugh, with their brandy-spiked coffee and cigarettes, and all was right with the world. Remember this.

David Michôd's highly anticipated second feature, "The Rover," will have its world premiere Out of Competition, and "Charlie's Country," from revered Australian filmmaker Rolf de Heer, has been selected for Un Certain Regard.
This is David Michôd's first invitation to the prominent film festival, for his thriller "The Rover."
David's well-received debut feature, "Animal Kingdom," receiver 36 awards including the Grand Jury Prize, World Cinema: Dramatic at Sundance Film Festival, a first for an Australian film, and received a prestigious Academy Award nomination for Best Performance By an Actress in Supporting Role.
"The Rover" is set ten years after the downfall of the western economic system, when society is in decline, the rule of law has been obliterated and life is cheap. Eric, played by Guy Pearce, is a cold and angry drifter who has left everything and everyone behind. Along his danger-filled journey, he is forced into an unlikely relationship with Robert Pattinson's character, Rey, a naďve and injured gang member.
Returning to Cannes for the fourth time, Rolf de Heer has previously received two Palme d'Or nominations, for "The Quiet Room" and "Dance Me to My Song," and won the Special Jury Prize, Un Certain Regard for "Ten Canoes." His long-awaited "Charlie's Country" is the third film in Rolf's unofficial trilogy and longstanding collaboration with Aboriginal Australian screen icon David Gulpilil, beginning with "The Tracker" in 2002 and followed by "Ten Canoes" in 2006. The story of "Charlie's Country" centers on the character Charlie, played by David Gulpilil, who decides to make a stand following the new invasion of his Aboriginal community, only to find he still has a long way to fall.
The Australian presence will be further emphasized with attendance by Nicole Kidman for her Film "Grace of Monaco," which is scheduled to open the festival, and Sam Holst, who has been selected for the Cannes Cinéfondation Résidence in Paris.

Child and Adolescent Development Program
Adaptation, resilience, and developmental psychopathology of disadvantaged children populations; Stress reactivity and biological sensitivity to contextual influences; Executive function and self-regulatory abilities; Effects of risk, adversity, and social status on children's development.
My research examines how contextual risk and adversity influence children's adaptation across multiple domains of functioning over time. I am interested in identifying the biological, behavioral, and environmental processes that enable some highly disadvantaged children to demonstrate remarkable resilience, while placing others at risk for maladaptive outcomes. I primarily study how exposure to environmental risk and adversity interacts with children's stress reactivity and self-regulatory abilities to influence their social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Profitt Report: Get your finances into shape this year
Just a few days into the New Year, how's your resolution looking? Besides getting in shape and losing weight, getting financially fit is up there with top New Year goals. However, by this time next month, majority of resolutions have failed.
"You don't just build muscle overnight, you have to work on it," said financial professional Mindy McIntosh with McIntosh and Associates in Freeland.
You can't sporadically hit the gym and expect to build muscle and you can't build wealth with occasional good money habits.
"We need to budget and plan and know where you're going, not just over the next one year but three years, five years, ten years, 20 years down the road, how do we continue to start today and plan," said McIntosh.
Don't be vague about it: have a specific goal you're working toward such as paying off a loan, buying a house or retiring by age 62. It's not a sprint, so McIntosh said to start with a slow jog, such as saving money by packing lunch instead of ordering out.
"It's going to make you... healthier if you make the right choices and it's going to save you money," she said.
Next, burn off the fat! In this case, it's your debt that might be keeping you from saving more money.
"Look at the lowest balance first, let's get that paid off. Once we do, guess what, that might've freed up $20, $30, $50 a month. Now where are we going to target that into? Now we can put a little bit of that into your savings," McIntosh said.
Last, packing your bag the night before you hit the gym will make it easier. When it comes to your money, don't wait until the last minute to save money for long-term goals, like retirement. Instead, pack away your money now so you'll have it when the time comes!
"That's just what you do, this is just your routine now and you kind of have it embedded into your brain that way," McIntosh said.
The Profitt Report wants to hear from you - please send consumer questions and story ideas to email@example.com

The baby weighs about 5 ¼ pounds with a size over 18 inches long (could be compared with the size of a honeydew melon). Baby's kidneys already developed, and her liver is functional and might even process some waste. The baby now is adding more weigh because the baby's physical development is almost done by this time.

Artists :: M :: Medeski, Martin, and Wood
For the better part of two decades, Medeski, Martin, and Wood have toed the line between the avant-garde and the completely accessible, making jazz music that fans of both extremes can enjoy. The trio consists of John Medeski (piano, Hammond B3 organ, clavinet), Billy Martin (drums), and Chris Wood (upright bass). Because of their predilection for lengthy improvisation in concert, they have won a following among fans of jam bands as well as jazz fanatics. The band moved to the prestigious Blue Note label from their earlier home, Gramavision, in 1998. They also recently collaborated with famed jazz guitarist John Scofield on their most recent studio effort, Out Louder.

Christopher Eccleston disappointed in British television
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 January 2015
Christopher Ecclestone has slammed the state of British television and film, insisting they've been completely overtaken by the US in terms of quality
Christopher Eccleston believes the quality of British television needs to improve.
The former 'Doctor Who' star is disappointed that the American TV industry has managed to overtake Britain to produce more popular shows and feels something must be done to improve the situation.
He shared: "When I first started going out to America in the early 90s, people were forever talking about the quality of British television. Now... they're always going on about the quality of American television and, aside from occasional exports like 'Downton Abbey', they have raised the bar in the TV world."
The 50-year-old actor - who is currently starring alongside Stanley Tucci and Michael Gambon in Sky Atlantic's 'Fortitude' - claims it is up to British writers to step up and challenge those from the US.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I think we are more than capable of doing it but the writers, not directors, not the producers, not the actors, are key to this. The problem with television is when it starts to get created by a group of bean counters or by one actor."
Christopher also commented on the state of the movie businesses, insisting there is no British film industry.
He explained: "The comic book franchise and popcorn movie have completely swallowed up the filmgoing experience.
"There is also a lot of dross around so the genuinely creative people have moved into television because it's like a long-form novel.
"You can still find quality scripts in American film but you can't in British film because we don't have a British film industry. The government has no interest in supporting it."
