PLOT: Mark (Marc Senter) - a music blogger, travels to a remote country house to interview Ginger (Elissa Dowling) – one of his favorite musicians. As night falls, Mark and Ginger are troubled by weird occurrences in the house- and are horrified when Ginger's psychotic ex-boyfriend Phil (Jason London) shows up, waving around a gun, and claiming Ginger is "his". But- it turns out that Phil is the least of their worries…
REVIEW: One of the most exciting things about the Fantasia Film Festival is that, thanks to the receptive, laid-back crowds, it's become a place cult filmmakers are comfortable bring their "work-in-progress" films to. This year, cult director Buddy Giovinazzo (COMBAT SHOCK), brought his film A NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES, despite it only having been finished two days prior to the premiere.
Despite this, A NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES struck me as a pretty polished, tight little haunted-house chiller. As a blogger myself, I love the idea of Mark being drawn out into the middle of nowhere on the prospect of meeting an artist he admires/has a crush on, as which one of us wouldn't travel to a similarly remote location to meet someone we're a fan of?
Considering that A NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES is really a two-hander, with only a brief (solid) cameo for Jason London as the crazed Phil, the movie wouldn't have worked without two very likable leads. As one half of the equation, we get Marc Senter, as the cynical, smart-alecky blogger. Senter- since giving an incredible performance in the Fantasia favorite RED, WHITE & BLUE, is quickly establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the indie genre world. After watching him demolish opponents MMA-style in last year's BRAWLER, and play a knife-throwing, hell bound crooner in Darren Bousman's THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL- seeing him here is a real change of pace, but he pulls it off rather effortlessly.
Co-star Elissa Dowling is just as good as the damaged singer Ginger, who- once the haunting begins (after a solid twenty-minutes or so of character building, a nice touch on Giovinazzo's part) is the true believer to Mark's skeptic. I haven't seen Dowling before, but she has an easy likability that makes you warm to her quickly- and also, if she indeed does her own singing here, has a hell of a set of pipes.
But, the question remains, is A NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES scary? I don't know if I'd go and call it full-blown horror, as the haunting is probably more subtle than in something like AMITYVILLE or INSIDEOUS, but once it starts- Giovinazzo is certainly able to make the audience squirm, along with delivering the occasional jolt. What I liked about the haunting here is that it's not necessarily confined to the house, as after a while, Mark and Ginger find their own bodies being haunted- with Ginger at once point finding a penny in a place pennies certainly don't belong- if ya catch my drift. Giovinazzo also makes good use of music, with some vintage, be-bop style songs being effectively used throughout as part of the haunting.
Suffice to say, I had a very good time with A NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES. I wouldn't go so far as to say it had me at the edge of my seat (truthfully- very few horror movies managed to do that to me nowadays), but I was certainly entertained, and engaged from start to finish. It's a solid little thriller, and well worth checking out.

Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 31 workplace representatives with a healthy workplace initiative. Results: None of the workplaces used a formal change management model when implementing their healthy workplace initiatives. Not all of the steps in Kotter model were considered necessary and the order of the steps was challenged. For example, interviewees perceived that communicating the vision, developing the vision, and creating a guiding coalition were integral parts of the process, although there was less emphasis on the importance of creating a sense of urgency and consolidating change. Conclusions: Although none of the workplaces reported using a formal organizational change model when implementing their healthy workplace initiatives, there did appear to be perceived merit in using the steps in Kotter's model.

A passion of mine is sports, and being raised in an NBA family, I have spent a good part of my life cheering on my favorite teams. This fall will be just the same, and one trend that I am digging is athletic leisure. Check out some of my tips when preparing to dress for a game, and some of my favorite sporty on trend looks below.
Know The Venue
Is this an outdoor stadium, or an indoor stadium? Where are your seats? Knowing ahead of time what the venue looks like and how it is laid out will prepare you for the type of day you will be encountering. Season ticket holders close to the field (or court), or first timers way up in the nosebleeds, you'll be sure to enjoy it at any level.
Rain Or Shine
Anytime there is a chance of being outside, you always want to pay attention to the weather. Rain or shine, these large sporting events go on without hesitation. If there is even the slightest chance of rain, don't assume the game will be cancelled—athletes have been trained to play in the worst conditions, so be ready to go no matter what.
Go The Distance
Let's not sugar coat it, the duration of the day will be long, especially after going up and down those steep stairs for hot dogs. Wearing extra comfortable shoes is more than a necessity for any game day activity so stick with shoes with rubber soles like trainers, or even a shoe with a small wedge heel to make sure your feet are not going to give out on you half way through the day. Boots are always a hit; just make sure you're positive they can go the distance.
Know The Team Colors
If you are a fan, support your team by wearing team colors! It may seem silly, but it's part of the fun to give in to sports traditions. If you feel strange walking through the grocery store before hand with paint on your face, we promise you'll feel right at home as soon as you get in that stadium. In fact, you may even feel left out by NOT wearing the team colors. Also, knowing the opposing teams colors is a good idea too, because nothing is more awkward then accidently choosing an all orange ensemble at a Los Angeles Dodgers home game versus The San Francisco Giants.
Small Bags Are Best
Choosin a bag that is small and requires no hands is your best bet, because you'll want to stay mobile and not worry about finding a place to set it down. Who knows how many drinks are spilled at a game, and we don't want your bag getting soaked with soda and mustard from being smashed on the floor by your feet.

Finding a baby wearing solution can be expensive, stressful, and flat out confusing. Baby wearing is a necessity for moms and having use of two hands is a must. I realized last week that we had accumulated 4 different brands/options but none fit our need perfectly. I was hesitant to buy another because I did not want to flush any more dollar bills down the drain. Alas, I found our perfect solution and thought I would share the pro's and con's of the various options we have tried over the years!
- Baby K'tan – Pro's – Purchase based on sizing of mom, Affordable at 50$, 100% cotton, perfect for a newborn, no bulky pieces in between mom and baby, easy to throw in your bag and run errands, easy to put on and take off. My fave things about this wrap is that you can also use easily as a nursing cover because it looks very similar to a scarf, it is easy to breastfeed in, and you can wash. Con's – It does not stretch very easily so not that I have a large (Sorry Grayson but you are large) 12 week old he doesn't get in quite as easily anymore and the heavier my little guy got it did not support him as well. By the end of a long walk or a lot of movement I was using at least 1 hand to support the wrap. I rank this 3 stars.
- Baby Bjorn – Pro's – Affordable at 50$, easy for my husband to put on, structured. Con's – more bulky to throw in bag, KILLS my back after 20-30 minutes, only recommended for up to 25 lbs. This option only gets 1 star.
- Ergo 360 – Pro's – LOTS of back support. I can walk for hours and I am not uncomfortable and do not have any pain. Has a hood to protect baby's head from sun/wind, can wear on mom's back when baby gets bigger, and an infant insert that you can purchase for newborns. Con's – More pricey at 160$, tricky to clip the back piece on your own, bulky to throw in a diaper bag. 5 stars.
- Moby wrap – Pro's – Affordable at 45$, Works for babies up to 35 lbs, can use in LOTS of positions, doubles as a great nursing cover, comfortable, 100% cotton, can wash/dry, no bulky pieces in between mom and baby. Con's – Hurt my back after long periods of time, did not feel as supported compared to other choices. 2 stars.
- Balboa baby – Pro's – Works for infants, lightweight and easy to throw in a bag, affordable at 50$. Con's – No back support, I worried about the lack of neck support for baby when he was really little. 1 star.
I know there are MANY other baby wearing options that I did not review. These are just my personal opinions, wanted to share in case you or a friend are beginning the search. I hands down am most impressed by Ergo 360.
Good luck mama's!!! What carriers do you love and trust?

Arbor Day was celebrated at Rideout Field in West Concord on Friday, April 29. The Garden Club of Concord donates a tree to the Town of Concord every year and have been doing so for the past 35 years. This site was chosen alongside the tennis courts after some locust trees were removed. A "Wildfire" Black Tupelo, also known as a Sour or Black Gum, was selected for the spot. In spring the leaves are initially red. Fall foliage is dramatic in color. A neighbor stopped by to say how "thrilled" she was when she learned that this specific tree is a male of the species. She has a female tree and hopes it will assure that the pollinators will help to set the berries which birds love.
Members of the Garden Club of Concord with Dan Rowley, Highway and Grounds Superintendent and Richard Reines, Director, Public Works.

Prequalification of high-voltage power cable systems
DNV GL - Energy provides prequalification testing of power cable systems according to IEC 60840 and IEC 62067.
Contact us:
Utilities look for high quality products that will minimize the risk of failures in their cable networks. Prequalification testing of high-voltage power cable systems demonstrates the reliability of your cables for long-term use under normal conditions.
This rigorous testing focuses on 'withstand'. It involves simulating the application of a high test voltage for the period of a year by means of at least 180 heating cycles.
DNV GL - Energy has three special outdoor facilities at Arnhem, the Netherlands, to conduct these withstand tests. We can perform tests on cables buried in the ground (piped or non-piped) or in a duct bank or cable tunnel. This allows us to simulate all types of installation of both cables and accessories.
Our tests are conducted according to international standards such as IEC 60840 or IEC 62067. They can lead to a KEMA Prequalification Certificate, which includes a test report, and is widely recognized throughout the industry.
Our experienced test engineers can support you with preparation for the tests. Typically, this preparation takes about eight weeks.

Mens 2nd Team vs Mens 3rd Team (Away (L) W 11-3)
The highly anticipated seconds vs thirds game was upon us and it didn't disappoint!
The beginning was very tense with the seconds pushing hard to get the opener however a quick counter from the thirds resulted in a goal with his 2nd bite at the cherry. Not to be disheartened the seconds quickly got back on level terms with a superb team goal with Jamie Legg to finish it off, after getting the first goal the seconds quickly gained an advantage from a penalty won by Stu Field which was then calmly tucked into the top right corner by Marty Fields.
As the first half was coming to a close the seconds stepped up a gear and quickly put 3 goals away coming from a lovely diving effort from Leggy, a worldy deflection from Sam Moore, and a clinical finish as per usual from Richard Larkin. The half time score 5-1 to the formidable second team!
After a good performance in the first half the seconds looked to carry on this form into the second half and it didn't take long for Jamie to complete his hat-trick with a reverse hit into the bottom corner. The floodgates then opened as the seconds went on to score 3 more in quick succession as Leggy picked up another reverse goal, Stu Field grabbed himself a goal with a lovely finish into the net, and a well taken back post goal from Matt Bensly (who unfortunately couldn't go on to get a triple triple) left the seconds 9-1 up with 15 to go.
The thirds then decided to turn up and started to play some good hockey which lead to them nicking 2 goals against a rocky seconds defence. Have the thirds managed to find a way back in? No, as was soon found out as the seconds scored 2 well worked counter attacks with the scorers being Jamie Legg to get his fifth for the day and Marty picking up his second. All the seconds had to do now was keep the ball and let the game come to an end however Matt Bensly decided otherwise and put a horrific tackle in to only get shown a yellow card. The final whistle blew with a result of 11-3 to the Men's seconds!
MOM – Jamie Legg
Any thirds looking for counselling after their traumatic loss please call the helpline 113 113!!

When it comes to tech trends, 4K and remote editing are still occupying the minds of the post production world with VR, AR and immersive now following close behind
So what are the technology trends that are uppermost in the minds of the UK's facilities? 4K of course, and remote workflows but also VR.
It does seem like the buzzword of all buzzwords, but virtual reality does look like one technology trend that will turn into actual reality.
It still only represents a tiny proportion of the work that any post house is involved in, if they're involved in it at all, but the technology around VR, AR and other immersive experiences is developing at a frightening pace.
And many post houses are keen to make sure they are at the forefront. The Mill's recent sale to Technicolor was driven in large part, according to CEO Robin Shenfield, by the facility's desire to gain access to Technicolor's massive research and development resources. "The whole world has jumped into that market," says Shenfield. "To be honest everyone's figuring it out but you can see VR and AR and all sorts of experiential work being used in all manner of promotional things along with health and education. It's got gaming as a big driver of course and it will get used in the marketing world. The rate of change in that market is super fast and we intend to be at the forefront of doing the great creative work."
Framestore has also launched its own VR studios as has MPC: "We have seen a marked increase in VR related projects. In response, we are developing various tools for VR and AR, which allows us to push the boundaries of immersive filmmaking."
Onsight says the "interest in VR has been notable" already and is only set to grow. Gramercy Park Studios agrees: "Virtual and augmented reality will play a major role and will be explored by the agencies to create novel ways for customers to relate and experience brands."
Glassworks argues that the future will be a mix of a whole range of emerging and current technologies. "It will be all about combining technologies like VR, stereo, facial recognition, robotics and vfx to create immersive experiences for viewers and communications for brands." There is a lot to learn for everyone. As The Mill says, "Almost every technique and project has 'never been done before.'"
Remote workflows
Remote working will become more and more important and it's a technology trend increasingly occupying the minds of post production houses.
"Remote viewing and editing will become expected with Avid Everywhere," says Directors Cut. And that's set to gather pace, says Dock 10, "be this the continued success of public cloud platforms like Forscene and MediaSilo, or private cloud applications such as Adobe Anywhere and Avid Everywhere, 'cloud' working continues to grow in popularity. Understanding and trust is growing for storing media off the premises, and using networks to access it." Splice says that "cloud-based services are in ever-increasing demand. We see these trends continuing, along with the demand for ever more sophisticated metadata and media management solutions."
Cloud based rendering and storage will also become more and more crucial. Vfx house Milk says there will be an "increase in studios using cloud storage, cloud rendering, rental software licensing" and Silverglade argues that "remote working will become increasingly important to our business over the coming year and will continue to support our business model of increasing our throughput without expanding our physical footprint further, allowing us to invest in technology and post services further in 2016." Envy points to its recently launched cloud based archiving service, Envy Store, as does the Farm with its own SPOTS product: "our three year online storage service giving productions remote access to their content archive."
The Mill says it continues to "invest in software that allows greater flexibility to share projects between our studios. We will move Beam's storage and delivery platform into the cloud as well as developing systems to place an increasing percentage of our CG rendering into various cloud providers."
But cloud based working won't be quite the revolution that many think, says Encore. "Contrary to predictions many were making a few years ago, demand for offline rooms in central London remains high. Although cloud technology enables editors to work remotely many productions still want their editorial base to be centrally located. To accommodate demand we have actually increased the number of cutting rooms we can offer to our clients."
4k a reality
4K/Ultra HD seems to be becoming more and more significant for post houses, but it also seems as if the tipping point is yet to happen. Producers are shooting in 4K but the demand for 4K mastering is still fairly small. Opinion seems to be split between those who think it will take centre stage and those who feel it's hype rather than reality. "Shooting in 4, 5 or even 6k is relatively common as a way of giving flexibility in post but 4k for mastering has not happened at all for us," says Big Buoy. "4k is coming and the majority of camera rushes are delivered at 4k+ already," says Coffee and TV. "However until 4k domestic displays are common, finishing at 4k will be the exception rather than the rule."
Creativity Media says that significant 4k deliverables is still "18-24 months out" but like everyone else "we have upgraded all our systems to 4k in anticipation."
It's important to be ready, is the argument from most post outfits. "We are still at the beginning of the 4K revolution, so it will become more prevalent over the next couple of years," says Milk. "The ability to be able to cope is important with storage and render capacity and experience will be key to vfx studios."
But it could be reaching that tipping point soon, says Big Bang. "We anticipate 4k delivery may become significant in the coming year." Blue Bolt also argues that "4K is an increasing demand and slowly coming into the fold on our shows." Outside of broadcast, there is definite interest. Bravo Post says that on high end corporate work "4K is becoming increasingly standard." And 422 points out that "4K is becoming significant in our work for visitor attractions and immersive exhibition projects."
For the broadcast market though, there is still a sense of being poised and ready to go rather than racing into the 4k future. "Directors and DoPs want to exploit the camera technology they have available to them," says Fifty Fifty. "But there's still a complete lack of demand from consumers (en masse) making an end to end 4k delivery from a post perspective an all too expensive process to complete properly particularly for the TV market."
But recent moves by broadcasters could change all that. BT Sport now has its own UHD channel and, as Dock10 points out, "If BT do it, you know Sky won't be far behind, both of which will ripple down into sports production companies. They will start to set the standard for 4K working practises."
Nice Biscuits points to the soon-to-launch SkyQ 4K box, which, it says will "see 4K becoming the standard for delivery." Molinare also points out that "50% of all our quotes now include 4K deliverables. It is becoming the norm. For example Netflix now insist on a 4K delivery."
Others say that HDR will complete the revolution. "We believe HDR displays will be the next big technology trend," says BBC Studios and Post Production. And Blue 2.0 agrees. "It is in unlocking the potential of HDR, wider colour gamut and higher frame rates, where the true benefit of 4k lies." And it's HDR that possibly has greater advantages. "There is now a lot of discussion about HDR and I know that for some broadcasters this is of greater interest than the move to 4k," says Encore. "One aspect is that there is a potential benefit when viewing HDR irrespective of display device (eg laptop/tablet) whereas to realise the benefits of 4k you really need a 4k display."

A hearing is scheduled March 8 on a bill that would make speeding the
only evidence needed to prove a charge of reckless driving in Illinois.
The bill, HB773, would declare that driving 40 mph or more over the
speed limit would be "prima facie" evidence of reckless driving. The term,
which roughly translates to "at first glance," means that speeding at that
level is all that's needed to declare a person is driving recklessly.
The bill was introduced by Rep. George Scully Jr., D-Chicago Heights. A
hearing on the measure is scheduled for 1 p.m. CST Tuesday, March 8, before the
Transportation and Motor Vehicles Committee in the Capitol Building.

An expert guide will take you spelunking (cave exploring) after a hike through the lush tropical forest amid a rugged limestone landscape. Inside caverns adorned with crystalline formations, you'll find artifacts, including pottery, beads and obsidian blades from the ancient Maya, who considered the cave a sacred passageway to the underworld. Each step you take goes back further in time to when shamans and Priest journeyed into the portal to the underworld which they called Xibalba.

"I don't want to be selfish," is what one aspiring writer told me earlier today when I asked why they hadn't looked at their manuscript in over six-months. She said that she, with all her heart, wanted to write but life just kept getting in the way. I asked her why she didn't square away an hour here or there, in the early morning, or right before bed, and her only reply, set on refrain, was that to set aside that time for her craft–for herself–would be just too selfish. She has a husband, after all, along with a young child; meals to cook, a mother to call, a dog to walk, errands to run–where was this mysterious hour of me time going to come from?
Now, I am in no way writing this as a way to downgrade the hard time and work that housewives and stay at home mums put into their home-life. Instead, I'm writing this to point out something I find disturbing: for this woman, and many other brave and stressed out ladies I know, there is more than just not enough time to finish my manuscript, plaguing their life. There is a greater problem of not enough time to do anything that makes me feel valuable and whole as a human being, plaguing their life.
Writing for me, and many of my writer friends and fellow professionals, isn't a job. It isn't a nonessential either. It isn't like that scrapbook that can just be tossed aside when life gets too demanding. It is vital. And, I personally believe that we, as creatives, prioritize what is vital. (Maybe everyone does?)
We prioritize what is vital because it is what fulfills our identity–our sense of self. We prioritize what is vital because it is what makes life a living, and living electric. What is vital will be different for different people. For some people, vital will be that weekend trip to Atlanta with your best friend. For another, vital might be baking those cookies with your daughter, or those kickboxing classes on Wednesday nights that you and your husband go to together. Either way, vital always involves other people. Serving others. Sharing with others. Co-creating with others. So, when some one says "I don't have time to write, I feel so selfish taking that time for myself", I sigh.
Writing, to me, is the ultimate act of co-creation. We take ideas. We take pieces of our life. We take pieces of our world, and splatter it on a page. Then, something magical happens…some one else reads it.
Stephen King called this writer/reader relationship a form of "telepathy". There is few things more powerful in the world than taking an idea in my head and painting it into another person's head. And, more the magical, that there in their head, they re-sculpt it, rotate and jumble it into their own creation–a creation that would have never existed with only a me. In writing, where there is a we worlds are raised and destroyed. This is vital. Art, imagination, creativity, compassion, and co-creation is vital.
So, how do you know it is vital? Taking another statement from Stephen King, you know it if you get a buzz off it. It isn't a drudgery you make yourself do, it is THE THING you do. And, if it is vital, if it is meaningful, it isn't selfish. Authenticity is not selfish. Killing your sense of identity, hiding the beautiful bits of yourself from your family is. They want you. Your kids want you. Your husband wants YOU. So be more you.
But, if you find that the dream of that manuscript was just a pipe dream, something that sounded like a cool idea but in the end you never had the heart for it, then yes, you are just being selfish. Maybe writing that book wasn't vital, maybe it wasn't that thing you got your buzz from. Maybe the thought of writing a book isn't what sparks your sense of self and community. Maybe nothing about the process helps you to feel more connected with others.
So, what does?
If writing a book doesn't feed your soul, what about reading a book? Reading a book to your daughter? Does that feed something? No matter what, whatever you do, whether you finish a manuscript or not, don't stop building worlds. Don't stop building worlds together. Don't stop making places you can play in with others. Don't stop being human– a living, thriving person–because there is nothing more selfish in this world than refusing to come out and play.

Everyday Gourmet chef and previous MasterChef contestant Justine Schofield shares with us one of her favourite North African dishes.
One of my best friends, Pedro, is Tunisian and no-one makes a North African stew like he does. From the many years of watching him make different versions of this popular dish, I've taken what I've learned to make a simplified vegetarian alternative. This is hearty, especially with the addition of chickpeas, and I guarantee even meat lovers will fall in love with my couscous.
Serves: 4 / Prep: 30 minutes / Cook: 1 hour
1 eggplant, cut into 8 rounds
2 sweet potatoes, each cut into 6 rounds
100ml olive oil
salt flakes and freshly ground
black pepper
1 onion, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 x 400g can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
1 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
500ml chicken stock
6 pitted prunes, torn in half
400g couscous
handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, to serve
Green sauce
2 garlic cloves, peeled
pinch of salt flakes
1 long green chilli, cut into 4
3 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
1 preserved lemon quarter, flesh
removed, rind roughly chopped
130g green olives, pitted
60ml olive oil
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place the eggplant and sweet potato in a large bowl.
Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Toss and then arrange the pieces in a single layer on the prepared trays.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until just tender.
Meanwhile, combine the onion and garlic in the bowl of a small food processor and blitz until evenly chopped.
Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the onion mixture and a pinch of salt and cook for 10 minutes until the onion is very soft.
Stir in the spices and cook for a minute until fragrant, then add the tomato paste, tomatoes, chickpeas, stock and prunes, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes.
Stir the sweet potato and eggplant into the tomato and chickpea sauce and cook for 10 minutes so the flavours develop.
For the green sauce, pound the garlic and a pinch of salt to a paste using a mortar and pestle. Add the chilli, parsley and preserved lemon and pound until very bruised, then add the olives and grind to a rough paste. Mix in the olive oil.
Cook the couscous as per the packet instructions. Transfer to a large platter or serving bowl.
Pile the vegetable stew on top of the couscous and spoon over the green sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
This recipe features in and is from Dinner With Justine by Justine Schofield, published by Pan Macmillan, $39.99, available now in all good bookstores.

UX/UI Design
For more than 2 decades, I've been working on ensuring my development is built following the highest user experience & Usability standards, and UI development best practices. I believe that this discipline is closely tied to one's creative skills, telling stories skills, having the ability to envision a process or a workflow and plan the user's journey from point A to whatever that last point is…
Responsive Design
Since 2013, I have been refining my expertise in delivering responsive UIs and sites that users can easily navigate on all types of devices. I have become a Subject Matter Expert helping Clients with their responsive design needs and best approach to turn their legacy applications into a modern responsive – mobile friendly design.
Graphics / Branding
Worked as a creative director for more than a decade leading a team of creative minds and designers in delivering natiowide advertising campaign execusions reaching out to more than 50 million people on several media platforms. Love to see those stories go from an idea, imagination to a video or huge billboard in the middle of a City…
Film and Video
One of my fun passions is film making and video. I have written screenplays, produced videos, shot, directed and edited a few projects here and there. In the East Cost this business hasn't helped me make a living. I am keeping it as a passion for now just to staty in touch with its fun part… unless Holywood one day moves to Virginia.
I like to play music. I play "wildly" some music for fun. It's an escape time to time from the routine and helps me recharge for the rest of the day. I have a few guitars, a keyboard, a banjo… I am loving that my kids like music and are picking up some of my "genes" benefits! "IT'S YUGE, IT'S SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE, BELIEVE ME!"
Scuba Diving
I grew up around the sea, fishing, spearfishing, diving and eating tehse things that live on rocks: their names are usually in latin… I have been lucky to keep pursuing the diving part and hope to keep doing this as long as I can. I want to keep taking photos and videos of the underwater world.
Areas of Expertise
The Important ThingsFamily, Love and Laughter...
I'm a dad to three wonderful creatures: a daughter, a son and another son, in that order. I don't know how I could've kept doing all this stuff listed above without my wife's support, understanding, and care... Honestly, I'm not saying this to make up for the Valentine's dates I forgot before or anything like that. This is truly from the heart. 🙂 Family is important to me. I've got four siblings. Three of them live in the States and one lives in France. We've been blessed to be able to see each other quite often. As you can see all around, I love to be aroud the water... I like fishing, diving and that "dimethyl sulfide" smell. Google it, you'll learn someting if you like the beach.

But before we get into how you can win the car, a background on the contest is in order. Mercedes has tapped five of Instagram's best photographers to spend five days each driving the CLA. Whoever gets the most likes will be the one to keep the car.
Here's where you get into the picture: you have a chance to become the sixth driver. All you have to do is submit you're Instagram handle with the five drivers selecting the winner based on your account. As far as the criteria needed to be chosen, you must have with you some of the characteristics that best captures the spirit of the CLA. Remember, you must have a public feed or accept Mercedes' follow request to be eligible for the competition.
Should you be selected, you and a co-pilot will take a three-day road trip, beginning on September 5, 2013 and you'll have to document whatever you do during this road trip on the @MBUSA Instagram feed where you get a chance to win a three-year lease on Mercedes' newest model.
Again, we ask: interested yet?

Mercedes CLA-Class
The CLA-Class is the car people who can't traditionally afford Mercedes vehicles have been waiting for. The sexy styling of Mercedes-Benz's four-door coupes is all there and you get it at a starting price of just $29,900, which is remarkably affordable.
In the U.S., Mercedes will only offer a brief look at the CLA-Class, as it only comes in a CLA250 variant that features a peppy 2.0-liter turbocharged engine the puts down 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. But hey, it's better than nothing, right? And at the very least, we get one of the most powerful versions of the vehicle.

In a Nutshell: A beautiful, stylish restaurant set in the newly relocated Restoration Hardware in Gold Coast. Although the hours are limited (opens with the store but closes an hour before), it is a truly fairy tale-like space. With surprisingly robust and tasty food, it is well-worth a stop even if you're not in the market for any furnishings or home accessories.
Ambiance: Admittedly, when a friend first told me about this space, I was not overly eager to go. I tend to think that restaurants set inside retail outlets are overpriced, lackluster spots which solely exist because they cater to a highly captive and somewhat defeated audience looking for an escape from retail hell. I went along with the plan to go for dinner because it was centrally located, our group was up for it and when I looked at the photos online, I was a little in awe. The space is downright stunning. The lobby is a bit over the top- all white, low-slung couches, faux fur blankets and pillows. It felt sort of felt like–and I mean this in the nicest way possible–they asked a Real Housewife of (Insert Your Favorite City Here) to put her spin on Aspen-chic. Sort of like glitzy Après-ski, Vegas style. I don't know. For whatever that decor is, it fortunately does not extend to the heart of the restaurant. The dining room is 60% of the reason to go. A soaring glass ceiling, striking chandelier, a fountain, lanterns and a few well-placed trees all blend together to create a very dream-like feel. The space is at once grand and intimate as the designers carved out secluded spots to give diners private enclaves in what could have been a very cold, cavernous setting.
Beverages: Not horrible but definitely the area most in need of improvement. Our waitress was very pleasant but stretched far too thin. For example- the good: we ordered a mix of different appetizers, entrees and sides without realizing that all of the sandwiches come with salads or fries. Sensing the need to take charge of our somewhat boisterous group, she instantly suggested that we nix our superfluous side orders and parceled out the options that were already included with our meals so we didn't have the chance to hem and haw. The not so good: when ordering additional drinks and food, it was sometimes hard to locate her in the massive space and with the staff shortage. Ultimately it meant some orders either did not initially arrive or were confused. My hope is that this young restaurant (opened fall 2015) addresses its popularity by adding more staff (and, if I'm completing my wish list, extends its evening hours- especially Thursday-Saturday).
Drinks: A limited but very serviceable drink menu. They do a nice job of including reasonable offerings (2 whites at $10 and under, 2 reds at $11 and under) and splurges (a $20+ red & white) and then a range in between. Additionally, though their beer list is compact, they have selected an East Coast, a West Coast and 2 Midwest breweries, with styles ranging from a Pils to a Porter. Beer for beer, their selection is far more balanced than the glut of restaurants who for some time have featured the diverse offerings of "IPA, Imperial IPA, Red IPA, Belgian IPA…"
Food: I'm not yet sold on Brendan Sodikoff's finer dining forays but he does "fancy comfort" really, really well. 3 Aces Club Cafe is the perfect representation of that. It features the "RH Burger" which is a near replica of the burger that put Au Cheval on the map (but so, so much easier to get your little hands on!), a decadent grilled cheese, heavenly BLT and a to-die-for burrata plate. If you're intent on forgoing this high-caloric fun in search of cleaner living, the arugula salad, charred carrots and fish are excellent options. Lastly, while I have not yet been for brunch, they do appear to feature the famed Doughnut Vault doughnuts. Enjoying one of these carb-wonders with a Bellini in this gorgeous room is so much better than lining up on the street with the 50% chance you'll get to the front of the line only to be told they are sold out.
The Devil's in the Details: While the hours might be wonky and the service could use some spiffing up, this is a real gem in the western portion of Gold Coast (a genuine food dessert unless you count the endless offerings of wings, quesadillas and nachos nearby). Whether you're actually shopping at Restoration Hardware, or just looking for a striking space with yummy fare away from the food wasteland of Division Street, this is absolutely a treat.

PRAGUE — The first domestic fest has fallen victim to the Czech filmmakers' strike over the state's failure to pass a tax to fund production.
Czech helmers and producers have pulled their work from the Film Festival Zlin, a 46-year-old event spotlightting children's and youth films, held in the Czech Republic's eastern province of Moravia, to make their point.
Setting out to show there is no future for Czech film without a change in meager state funding, currently at around $2.6 million per year, helmers are opting to appear in person rather than screen fairy tales "Fimfarum II" and "An Angel of the Lord," teen sex comedy "Rafters," sci-fi "Restart" and other titles including "City of the Sun," "Rail Yard Blues" and "Shark in the Head."
Fest's lifetime achievement award winner, director Karel Smyczek, has announced he supports the protest, which began May 24 with the closure of the Czech stand at Cannes following Czech Parliament's failure to pass a tax of 2%-3% on exhibs, distribs and terrestrials.
Zlin organizers have yet to issue a reaction, but they scrambled to find substitutes for some of the films, slotting "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" into "Fimfarum's" place in the fest, which unspooled Sunday and continues through Saturday.
"Fimfarum" co-helmer Aurel Klimt said, "If the situation in Czech Republic does not change radically, I personally don't know any other solution than to end our 10-year effort to keep puppet animation in Czech Republic," adding he is considering moving to Great Britain to work. At least there, said Klimt, "We can find work and devote ourselves to it."

Hot off the press, Wilson Benesch can today share with you the latest Vector Loudspeaker review as Mark Gusew of StereoNET weighs in with an impressive review of the floorstanding loudspeaker. Whilst having a relatively compact form factor, the Vector loudspeaker is building a firm following of discerning audiophiles that seek a big sound and stunning performance without an imposing footprint. None of these qualities escaped Mark, as he comments:
"Days of Wine And Roses" by the Oscar Peterson Trio was so engaging, you are almost commanded to stop and listen. The soundstage that the Vectors portray is huge, yet the spatial information retrieval is incredible, with pin point accuracy for each of the instruments.
Mark really gets to grips with the Vector and appreciates the virtues of the design and the philosophy from which it has been born. Wilson Benesch has consistently favoured small drive unit design and reinvested significant sums in the development of the Tactic II drive unit and the Semisphere Tweeter to create seamless integration across the audio band. The timbre of the instruments and voice, and spatial relationship and timing within the music are crucially important and in this respect all Wilson Benesch loudspeakers excel.
Strictly speaking the Vectors are reasonably small speakers and do not have large cone area. But what they get absolutely right is all the detail… and all of the natural harmonics and reverb tails. They are able to separate each and every instrument, especially those that sound similar or that tend to bleed into each other. When a speaker gets this wrong, it masks the instrument's true sound and personality. Better than I have heard before on this track, the Vectors separate everything and just do their thing without coloration or compression. The lack of box coloration is obvious and everything sounds clearer and more musical as a result.
We could go on, but if you have read this far, really we should let Mark do the talking. The Vector has been shortlisted for the StereoNET Loudspeaker of the Year 2015, head over to StereoNET via the link below to read the rest of the review.
Vector Loudspeaker Review, Mark Gusew, Stereonet Australia
Wilson Benesch would like to thank StereoNET and Mark for the excellent review. And finally a special word of thanks to our distribution partner Absolute High End.

Despite efforts to keep people off of drugs, there are many people in Philadelphia who use drugs. The reasons for and the amount of use vary from person to person. No matter the reason though, for most, someone needs to supply the drugs. As it is an illegal enterprise, drug dealing can be profitable and dangerous, at the same time. A lot of money can be made, but the dealers have to deal with rival drug dealers and police who are constantly trying to bust them and put them in jail.
Philadelphia neighborhood outraged over drunk teens' behavior
After the long winter that Philadelphia endured, many residents are overjoyed to have spring here. Residents can finally get out of their homes and enjoy the weather. It also means that many young people are out of school for the summer. Many college students move back home, but they also want to enjoy the lifestyle they were used to during the school year. This means many of them will figure out as many ways as possible to get together with friends and drink.
Philadelphia police officer faces DUI charges after accident
There are many people in Philadelphia who consume alcohol and then get behind the wheel. Not everyone who drinks alcohol and drives is legally under the influence, but many of them are and may face DUI charges. This goes for any driver regardless of what they do for a profession, even police officers. Many may think that police officers are above the law, but if they drink and drive, they may be convicted of a DUI just like anyone else.
Man faces weapons charges after alleged assault on EMT
Many people in Philadelphia own or possess guns and other various weapons. People own guns for a variety of reasons, from hunting to personal safety. In order to legally own a gun, however, the person must have a permit for it. However, many people do not have permits or are prohibited from owning a gun for other reasons. If the person does not own the gun legally, they could face serious gun charges if they are caught with one.
Two Philadelphia juveniles facing drug possession charges
There are programs in Philadelphia schools designed to keep kids off drugs. However, despite the efforts, many young people are involved with drugs. Some simply use them while others are involved in the distribution of drugs. Many of the people will get away with it and never end up being charged criminally, but many others will end up facing juvenile charges for drug possession or intent to deliver. The consequences, if convicted, can be serious, but a juvenile like an adult is innocent until proven guilty.

Five Resolutions You Can Keep in 2018!
Napa Valley starts to get very busy in August as grape harvest sneaks up on us and is in full swing by September. But, before we tackle grape harvest, we are fortunate to experience a fruitful tomato season!
This year we planted 14 tomato varietals, both heirlooms and hybrids, and they are all finally ripening with the heat we've had in Napa Valley the last few weeks.
Here's a little plant 101, in case you need some brushing up…
Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated, unlike hybrids, and are often passed down from generation to generation. When the plants of an open-pollinated variety self-pollinate or are pollinated by another representative of the same variety, the resulting seeds will produce plants roughly identical to their parents.
Hybrids are created when plant breeders cross-pollinate two different varieties of a plant with the goal of producing a plant with the best traits from each of the parents. Cross-pollination is a natural process that can occur within members of the same plant species. Sungolds are, for example, a hybrid and prove that hybrids can have tons of flavor.
Now for a guide to what is growing on our farm and what you can find in our restaurant and farmer's market:
The Pink Brandywine gets its name from its hometown Brandywine, PA. This heirloom is one of the most well-known. It has a potato leaf shape that can look like a heart. These tomatoes are super sweet and really meaty.
A family heirloom from Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, TN, Aunt Ruby's German Green is slightly acidic and really sweet with a hint of spiciness.
This heirloom tomato is originally from Krim, Russia and is also known as Black Crimea. Sweet, smoky, and a little bit salty, when the Black Krim gets a lot of heat it turns a violet-brown/purple-red (almost black) color. This year these are thriving in Napa Valley!
A predecessor of the "mortgage lifter" tomato, the heirloom German Johnson has a deep, acidic tomato flavor and a rich, creamy texture.
The Indigo Rose is commonly referred to as a blue tomato and was bred by Wild Boar farms in Napa for high levels of anthocyanins. These small tomatoes are high in antioxidants.
Sun golds are an exceptionally sweet, bright tangerine-orange cherry tomato. They are like candy with a tropical fruit flavor and are great right off the vine directly into your mouth.
The heirloom Black Pineapple, also known as Ananas Noire, is sweet with low acid and a hearty smoky flavor.
There are several white tomatoes, but we like the heirloom Great White. It is meaty with few seeds, and has a mild non-acid flavor and a creamy texture.
Gold Medal, an heirloom from Ohio, is an overwhelmingly sweet and meaty yellow tomato with red stripes.
The Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato was developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. It's a psychedelic dark pink tomato with green stripes and the flavor is sweet, rich and complex.
Early Girl tomatoes are named as such because they bear fruit earlier than most other tomato varietals. These tomatoes are extremely popular in the US and are often found in backyard gardens.
Another Wild Boar Farms hybrid, the Solar Flare is luscious and meaty with a slightly sweet full tomato flavor.
This Russian heirloom tomato has an almost cult following for its distinctive, sweet and smoky flavor. It was lovingly named in honor of Paul Robeson, the famous opera singer and equal rights advocate.
A small cherry variety from Wild Boar Farms, a ripe blue berry tomato is dark purple where it received the most sunlight and deep red where the fruit was shaded. These tomatoes are super-rich in anthocyanins and the flavor is intensely fruity and sugar-sweet.
Blue Gold Berry tomatoes are incredibly beautiful purple and yellow cherry tomatoes. These little tomatoes are bursting with loads of antioxidants and the flavor is very sweet and rich.
These port wine colored cherry tomatoes have metallic silver green stripes with an outrageous rich, sweet flavor.
As you can see, there are so many wonderful tomatoes out there right now and there are 101 ways to use them - from a juicy BLT to a luscious sauce to a easy snack. Check out our restaurant, chef's table or farmer's market for inspiration!
Name: Lindsay Swetsky
What is your role at Long Meadow Ranch (LMR)?
I am the Pastry Chef taking care of the restaurant, events, and our café at Farmstead.
How long have you been with LMR?
Since May 2017
What has been your favorite project at LMR?
During this especially hot summer, I got inspired to create a "Sunday Sundae" ice cream special to offer a cool and creative treat to cap off the weekend. I'm obsessed with ice creams reminiscent of being a kid and piling on all the toppings I can get my hands on. Now on Sundays, I can fill a big mason jar with something I'm craving like campfire S'mores. Or when I see fantastic berries, I can highlight those in the Sundae.
What do you wish other people knew about LMR?
It's a fantastic shopping spot with the Farmer's Market on the weekends and the General Store for all sorts of culinary gifts. It is quickly replacing my trips to the grocery store and the mall!
Tell us how you got into pastry. Was it a natural fit from the start or did you take various avenues before landing in the field?
I grew up baking at my grandparents' homes in Brooklyn and I loved seeing my family's reactions when it came time for our homemade desserts. It didn't take long for me to decide that's what I wanted to do as a career.
What kind of trends are you seeing in the pastry/dessert industry?
Miniature desserts are a very eye-catching trend that I like, because it allows people to indulge and enjoy a fully-composed treat without completely stuffing themselves. At the restaurant at Farmstead, our Big Easy beignets and the mini cookie jar are great ways to have a little bit of dessert or a lot, I won't tell!
What inspires you?
The evolving seasons. At LMR, I get to keep an open mind and create desserts based on the fruit harvested that week. Instead of committing to a menu and ordering fruit purees, I literally see what comes in and use it that week. One week, we received 800# of beautiful cherries! Next up will be an influx of figs from our Rutherford Estate. There is always something different ripening in Napa that inspires me.
Best vacation you have ever taken?
Last year I took a trip to Puerto Rico, which I loved. The island had the perfect balance of rich history at El Morro fort and natural wonders in El Yunque and the Bioluminescent Bay.
Red or white wine?
White then red.
Bike or motorcycle?
Sushi or pizza?
Pizza, extra cheese.
iphone or Android?
Our 2015 Long Meadow Ranch Chardonnay, Anderson Valley pairs perfectly with the flakey dough, tart tomatoes and creamy goat cheese.
Tomato Galette
Recipe Courtesy of Kipp Ramsey
Serves 6-8 ppl
2-3 ea heirloom tomatoes, different varieties and colors are preferred
¼ cup parmesan
¼ cup fresh goat chevre
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1 ea egg (for wash)
kosher salt
flake finishing salt
fresh cracked black pepper
1 pie dough (see recipe below)
Preheat oven to 400F.
Slice heirloom tomatoes 1/8 inch thick, season with salt on both sides, and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes to draw out some of the moisture. Blot with paper towels or kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough in a circle 12-14 inches in diameter and about 1/6 inch thick. Transfer the dough over to a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle the parmesan over the center of the crust.
Arrange the tomatoes over the cheese alternating colors and slightly shingling them. Place goat cheese around the top and finish with torn basil (reserve some for garnish) and fresh cracked black pepper.
Fold the outer ½ inch of dough over itself to form an even lip around the galette, then begin to fold the dough over the tomatoes forming a series of pleats. Brush the outside crust liberally with the beaten egg.
Bake until the galette is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely, then garnish with flaky sea salt and basil leaves. Slice and serve.
Pie Dough
2 ½ cup all purpose flour
½ T salt
7 ½ oz unsalted butter, cold and grated using a box grater
2-3 oz water
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Add grated butter and egg yolks. Add water slowly as needed.
Wrap the dough and chill at least 30 minutes before rolling.
