Q:Hi! I love your blog but I need your advice. I love eating healthy, but whenever I'm at restaurants and eat healthy, my family gets mad at me and says I'm "obsessed" and go "overboard" with eating healthy. I don't get why they get angry. I'm just trying to be healthy! Should I just ignore them?
hey, thank you so much! :)
Well, most people that are not used to eat healthy always think we are exaggerating, they dont understand that we feel good doing this because they normally dont feel… Your family is just worried about you, so tell them one time that those thing are the ones that you like to eat and they shouldnt be mad at you for eating what you like, and if they keep complaining, ignore them :)
Sorry for taking too long to answer you!

Autoblog Reader Ride of the Year
It seems like theres a ton of competition at the end of this year, what with the Motortopia challenges (more on that in a bit) and now this. Autoblog has taken the 14 "Readers Rides of the Week" from the past couple months and put them into a poll to draw out the "Reader Ride of the Year". Back in October my Elise was Reader Ride of the Day on the same day that I lost my job, kind of a funny coincidence. My Lotus Elise went on to be voted to the "Reader Ride of the Week" for that week and is now thrown into the "RR of the Year" poll.
So guess what I want you to do... ;)
Head over to Autoblog's Reader Ride of the Year Poll and put in a vote for your favorite ride, which will hopefully be a Krypton Green 2005 Lotus Elise. I would love to see something as cool as this title originate from a day where I was kind of at my lowest, I just think its too ironic.
And with the Motortopia challenges, I'm in a featured challenge AGAIN! This time instead of being put against a traditional American "Muscle Car" I'm up against a Pontiac Solstice. "What, that should be an easy choice" you say, well what if I tell you that the Solstice has been transformed into a Mallett. The Mallett conversions consist of gutting the Solstice/Sky drivetrain and replacing it with a Corvette LS2 motor & running gear. So now its kinda interesting ;) I'm sure I'll lose as there are just way too many active domestic folks on Motortopia but it's still a neat challenge I think.
Aside from that, not much news or updates. Santa brought me a carbon fiber rear view mirror and new front & rear tow hooks for the Elise, you can expect to see an installation post for all of that in the next week or so. Hopefully that post will include some cool news from the Autoblog's Reader Ride of the Year Poll ;).

Urban Outfitters, the national retail store popular with teens, is currently selling pint glasses, flasks and shot glasses made to look like prescription pill bottles. These products make light of prescription drug misuse and abuse, a dangerous behavior that is responsible for more deaths in the United States each year than heroin and cocaine combined. Medicine abuse has increased 33 percent over the past five years with one in four teens having misused or abused a prescription drug in their lifetime. Combined with alcohol, the misuse and abuse of prescription medications can be especially dangerous, making the Urban Outfitter Rx pint and shot glasses and flasks even more disturbing.
As recent research from the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids shows, teens and parents alike do not understand the health risks associated with the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs. In fact, more than a quarter of teens mistakenly believe that misusing and abusing prescription drugs is safer than using street drugs.
Tongue-in-cheek products that normalize and promote prescription drug abuse only serve to reinforce the misperception about the dangers associated with abusing medicine and put more teens at risk.
Ask Urban Outfitters to remove these products from their stores and website immediately. Feel free to use the information above to help make your point.

Conscientious Shopper: Do You Use Coupons?
Every week at our grocery store, we're handed a long scroll of coupons along with our receipt. Usually they're for foods we hardly ever buy and the coupons get tossed. But recently we've started paying closer attention and even saving the ones we think we might use. Have you been clipping coupons?
More than anything else, we think it's significant that we've started paying attention. Before this recession, our priority was quality first with economy a close second. Now those have flipped places.
Quality (and where the food is sourced) is still very important to us, but if we can save a few dollars by buying one brand over another using a coupon, we'll take advantage of that.
What about you?

I used to use coupons all the time when I purchased the majority of my food at the grocery store. For awhile I was taking any money I saved (loved the little "saved a total of" number on my receipt!) and added it directly to my savings account.
Now that I'm participating in a CSA and get almost anything else I need at the farmers' market, I find that I don't go to the store enough to actually use the coupons I do save. They expire before I get a chance to use them because my trips are so infrequent.
Hell yes. But I was doing that before the recession.
Nope. I find most of the coupons I see are for highly processed "crap" food that I try to steer clear of. And most of the boxed or canned stuff I buy is Trader Joe's brand which has no coupons obviously. But if I ever saw a coupon for say asparagus I'd definitely use it!
I use a coupon if it's for something I would purchase anyway, and if it's cheaper than the store-brand item. So I don't use them every trip. But I love it when I have a coupon for something, then it goes on sale. I do find though, that more often, the coupons are for overly processed stuff, so that's why I don't use them all that often.
It's hard to come by coupons for organic and natural products, but when I find them I definitely use them.
Heck ya. Always have when they are for products I use. I don't use most products in the Sunday coupon section though... they are usually for overly processed items.
Agree with the last three posts---coupons are for stuff I don't eat, except for the rare store coupon that is for real food or cash off.
Yes to coupons for things that would be bought anyway - no to coupons promoting the latest and greatest pretend-food.
Now that the weather is finally turning, it's back to the farmer's market for us. No coupons there.
I only shop at TJ's because it's way cheaper than the Safeway and Lucky's nearby... so nope. If I have to get something at Safeway that isn't at TJ's, I still have my "club card" so my items are somewhat discounted.
I love clipping them, but I almost always forget to bring them with me to the store!
Here in Austin we have Sun Harvest, which always has great weekly specials and also easily accessible copies of the Mambo Sprouts coupon book, which Whole Foods also carries. Mambo Sprouts is great because they have coupons for things like Oikos greek yogurt, organic chicken broth, Kashi frozen meals (still processed, but better than your average "TV dinner") etc. I think you can sign up for the coupons on their site:
I don't use coupons - drives me nuts to carry them around and rarely find they are for something I buy. My local store has a little scanner tag that automatically gives one the sale price and also does a donation to the food bank for purchases of their store brands - I like that. They also have promotions for things like pans or glasses that one collects stamps for. If it is something I need or want I will collect the stamps.
The local grocery store here allows a neighborhood coalition type group to tape coupons to products on the shelves, the stickers holding the coupons inform you they are donated and placed by the neighborhood group and encourages you to make a donation (presumably with the money you just saved). Obviously you can guess they have the jars at each checkout stand!
Its a great way to encourage people to give back to the community. Because they are taped right to the item you dont even have to carry them around or hand them over, the checkers usually automatically apply them for you and let you know your savings.
Those are usually the only coupons I use, unless I spot a reallly good one somewhere for something I buy anyway (or wish I bought...)
All the stores around here have "reward" cards and specials tho that automatically give you a lot of discounts anyway.
There are some Sunday circular coupons I will use -- like those for produce, such as Cuties mandarins, or Tofu House products -- which I then combine with in-store sales at my local Safeway store. Also, like Squirrely, I highly recommend the Mambo Sprouts coupon site.
While I try to stay away from overly processed foods, I find coupons useful from time to time, especially since my local, family-owned natural foods store accepts them.
I was laid off at the beginning of the recession the day before Christmas, 2007. Then, I was laid off again in March of 2008. All of this was after I moved across the country to be closer to my ailing mother.
Do I use coupons? Heck yes. My mother was a couponer when I was growing up, and although she taught me nothing on the subject, I blossomed into a couponer myself when I found myself suddenly without employment or steady income.
Just yesterday, in fact, I spent all of $30 on $240 worth of groceries - only one box of which (mac n' cheese) was processed food or junk food, I might add. (Opponents of couponing often whine about how many processed food coupons there are out there; here's a tip: Just because you HAVE a coupon for something doesn't mean you have to buy it! Plan better, people!)
Not only do I coupon for groceries, I coupon for household goods, personal items, clothing, feminine products, makeup, cleaners, etc. I won't have to buy toothbrushes for two years for my entire household; I won't need shampoo again until the possible apocalypse.
Best part? I got it for free. Free is my favorite price.
I've always used coupons-for anything I already buy. I get them in the newspaper as well as order them from Save.ca (for all you Canadians on here). (I brag that I haven't paid full price for cat food for years now)
I've also found that if there's a product I'm interested in/already use, I can go to that website and occasionally find coupons there.
I look at the coupons every week but they are mostly for processed junk. I do look online and some of the brands I like (7th gen, muir glen) have coupons on their website. Whole Foods carries a good coupon circular that often has coupons for what I buy.
Heck yes! I saved $5 last night on real basics like toilet paper, cuties oranges, razor blades and chicken stock. Kroger will even double a lot of them!
I buy coupons that I need in bulk on ebay. Just today I bought 10 $2/1 Morningstar farms products coupons and 10 daisy cottage cheese coupons. What annoys me about the Sunday inserts is that most of the coupons are for processed junk that I don't eat.
I was an avid coupon user 20 years ago. I've tried to go back to it, but I find my cooking has changed so much and that the majority of food coupons are for processed foods, which I don't buy a lot of. So I try to use coupons on non-food items.
I use coupons for things like a particular brand of cereal that I like. Other than that, I buy a lot of store brands and end up ahead of the name brand price, even with a coupon.
I started clipping coupons at the beginning of 2009. It's been an adventure finding the right balance of using coupons and buying the fresh food I want but I'm getting there. I definitely use enough to make it worth buying the paper every week.
It's Frugal Being Green
I do a fair amount of shopping at Whole Foods so the Mambo Sprouts coupons sometimes come in handy. I also find myself scoping out the weekly circular for my local grocery and buying what's on special in combination with my store card. I've been doing that for a few months now.
I bring coupons with me to the store, but I often find that the item for which I have the coupon is not necessarily the best value, even with the coupon.
I usually save more buying store brand items and foods from the bulk bins.
I am definitely a coupon clipper! In Seattle, we have the Chinook Book, a coupon book that includes organic grocery coupons and coupons that you can use at sustainable businesses around the city. It's an awesome way to live my values and save money at the same time!
I know the book is in Portland, too - maybe in some other cities as well.
I hardly ever find coupons for things that I would buy. Very rarely do they even bring the price down below the premium store brand. There's a brand of asian soup bowls that includes a coupon that I'll use, but that's pretty much it.
Store promotions through their flyer or in-store are different and much more likely to be for ingredients instead of packaged goods. Club cards for major grocers are great for discounts.
I do sometimes use coupons for pizza or other takeout/delivery, but that's about the only time its worth the effort.
Yes! Coupons are great for things like tampons, shampoo, lotion--things that I'd buy anyway not on sale. You do have to be careful not to buy things just because a coupon is there because the best way to shop is still to compare prices in-store. As preppycuisine notes, the store promotions and flyers are the best bet. Just last week I bought 2 lbs. of raw frozen shrimp for $4 and 5 lbs. of potatoes for $2, 2 lbs. butter for 99 cents. Pretty awesome savings for living in a big city.
I almost always use coupons. I shop at the farmers' market a lot when it is open (only two more months!) and also only buy grass fed organic meat. I buy no junk food , but I still use lots of coupons. I get coupons from Mambosprouts for kiefer, coconut oil, butter, Naked juices, etc. I also have lots of Muir Glen coupons and coupons for organic peanut butter. The other day I emailed 5 natural foods companies from whom I frequently purchase products and they all sent me gobs of coupons. Stonyfield Farm's website has printable coupons for regular and greek yogurt among other things. I can't usually find coupons in the Sunday paper that I will use, but online I usually find quite a few. Also, my local Publix doubles coupons and accepts competitor's coupons so it is worth my while.
I only clip coupons if it's something that I normally buy. However, I normally just buy meat, produce, and some diary products that don't have coupons. Most of the time I plan my meals for the upcoming weeks around what's on sale in the circular anyway.

Washington, D.C., July 14, 2010 – "The American Public Health Association is very pleased with the expansion of no-cost preventive care and wellness services made available under the new health reform law, as announced this afternoon by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"This life-saving investment requires no-cost coverage to the patient for early detection and prevention services such as mammography and colonoscopy screenings and tobacco cessation programs in private plans.
"By providing all Americans access to these essential preventive services, our nation stands the greatest chance to eliminate the growing burden of many life-threatening, preventable diseases, reduce disparities and provide millions of Americans the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.
"Today's announcement marks a critical shift in the way our nation approaches health. Our nation's health system now pivots from treating an illness, often in a more costly later stage of development, to preventing it altogether and keeping people healthy. APHA has long advocated for guaranteed access to prevention and wellness services for all Americans regardless of cost. We look forward to working with the administration to assure all measures included in the new health reform law are implemented to the fullest extent and Americans utilize these essential services."
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

Regardless of where you live in the U.S., natural disasters can strike in a number of ways in the form of a hurricane, tornado or wildfire, just to name a few. When one occurs, it could force you to leave your home suddenly.
Not knowing where loved ones are before, during or after a traumatic weather event can be nerve-wracking.
The American Red Cross has several free apps you can download to your phone.
Even if you download just one, like the Hurricane App, it offers a lot of beneficial features.
"One of the best things about this app is safety at your fingertips, knowing what to do when emergencies strike, being able to let people know in real-time that you're ok if something happens, being able to track storms as they are approaching areas where you live, or maybe loved ones—where they're living," says American Red Cross Spokesperson Kate Meier.
This app also allows you to add contacts, evacuation points, pet-friendly hotels in your area, and establish an evacuation destination so everyone in your family will know precisely where to meet up if they are unable to return home.
There are also lots of emergency tools that could instantly turn your cell phone into a flashlight to help you navigate, or a strobe light that could be used to alert rescuers to your location.
If an evacuation is ordered for your area, the Hurricane App will show you where emergency shelters are located.
"You can find any open Red Cross shelter across the country," Meier says. "So, even if it's not hurricane related, if there is a wildfire in California, or tornadoes in the Midwest, you can open the hurricane app and open that section that says 'shelters' and you can get to one if you need help or help loved ones find one if they need help."
If you end up in a shelter, clicking on the 'I'm Safe' feature will immediately inform your friends and family that you're no longer in harm's way via your social networking sites or text message.
This could be very important if power to your area is knocked out, or if the phone lines are over capacity during some other non-weather related disaster like a terrorist attack or other man-made disaster.
In addition to the Hurricane App, the American Red Cross has a Shelter Finder App, First Aid App, Earthquake App, and Wildfire App.
Within minutes, the downloaded apps can be on your phone and Meier adds, "It's such an easy thing to do. Why wouldn't you do it?"

text: Oct18 NewcastleEnglandgreen citiesinfrastructuresustainable cities indexforum for the future ragtag: JournalLive - News - Environment - Newcastle wins praise for 'visionary' planning NEWCASTLE has topped a table of Britain's greenest cities for the second year running. The city's investment in green industry and its role in developing infrastructure for electric cars have been singled out as key reasons behind its place at the top of the Sustainable Cities Index. Described as "visionary" by the organisation behind the list, Forum for the Future, Newcastle has been praised for innovation in science and growing its economy while benefiting the environment. After coming first last year in the list, which tracks the progress of the UK's 20 largest cities across three areas of environment, quality of life and future proofing, Newcastle City Council increased its lead in 2010. It scored highly for number of allotments, recycling, public transport, conservation and green spaces. Barry Rowland, chief executive of Newcastle City Council, said: "Our commitment to a sustainable future is underpinned by our innovative work with partners. "For example, we are working closely with Newcastle University to develop their centre for research and sustainability, Shepherd Offshore to help transform the banks of the Tyne into a central hub of the UK renewable energy technology sector and seeking to make the city a home for the UK's leading scientists through our Newcastle Science City Partnership." The Sustainable Cities Index rates Britain's 20 biggest cities based on factors such as air quality, household rubbish and the impact that services, housing and transport have on the environment. It is based around actions which councils can take to make their city more sustainable, from green-themed initiatives like cutting climate change and increasing the variety of wildlife, to economic boosts like improving education, cutting unemployment. While scoring highly on environmental categories, Newcastle does less well on economy, as well as health and education, which fall into the bracket of quality of life. Anita Lower, deputy leader of Newcastle City Council, said: "We are delighted to receive this recognition once again underlining how hard the council is working to put the environment at the heart of its agenda as we seek to make the city greener and work towards a zero carbon future." Wendy Taylor, executive member for environment, sustainability and transport, said: "We continue to promote new technology as we strive to move towards a more sustainable transport future. "It is gratifying to have our progress on this and all other aspects of sustainability acknowledged." Peter Madden, chief executive of Forum for the Future, said: "Cities are having to count every penny so it's essential that they invest wisely for long-term success. "Leaders like Newcastle and Leicester are developing plans to run services in smarter ways, tackle challenges like climate change and secure the jobs of the future." Leicester is in second place in this year's Sustainable Cities Index, with Brighton, Bristol and London making up the rest of the top five. Visit www.forumforthefuture.org for more information.

Performing John Mayer's song "City Love" on my ukulele. I want to do a proper video of this for YouTube, ideally on my actual camcorder and not with my laptop webcam… but this is too good a version not to share, if I may say so.
I think this was the first song I ever heard from John. He performed on SNL in 2003 and he played City Love and Clarity, but I don't remember which was first. I just remember that I loved him immediately.
When I was in New York, I spent an appalling amount of my travel budget on sheet music. It was kind of dumb. But now I have some beautiful books of John Mayer sheets and can play all my favorite songs of his. So… worth it?
Also: City Love cover comin' your way pretty soon.
my top 10 all-time favorite albums, in no particular order
1. Jeremy Larson - They Reappear
2. Tegan and Sara - The Con
3. The Softies - Holiday in Rhode Island
4. John Mayer - Heavier Things
5. John Legend - Once Again
6. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
7. Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
8. Stacey Kent - Dreamsville
9. Chris Garneau - Music For Tourists
10. Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
You MUST listen to all of these, if you haven't already. They are the best of the best, IMO. These are the albums I would happily take with me on a desert island and listen to on loop for the rest of my life.
Stop This Train with Max on guitar! He's a pretty cool kid. (Very sorry that I cut my head off!)

Analysis of the Cinematography, Colour, Film Noir, Painting and Light of "Rajeev Jain ICS WICA" – The Best, Famous, Greatest and Top Indian
by TheFemGeek
Analysis of the Cinematography, Colour, Film Noir, Painting and Light of "Rajeev Jain ICS WICA" – The Best, Famous, Greatest and Top Indian Cinematographer of all time
Cinematography literally means "lighting in movement". It is often referred to as painting or writing with light. The cinematographer on a film, otherwise known as the Director of Photography or "DP", has a wide range of options when it comes to selecting how the film will be shot and how the "look" of the film will be determined. The use of tonality, speed of motion and perspective are included in these options, as is lighting.
Lighting is central to cinematography and can have a number of functions in a film's narrative; for example, it can highlight a number or important characters or objects within a frame by drawing the audience's attention to them with the use of a bright light source. It can also create a range of atmospheric qualities in a scene, which can contribute to both characterisation and setting.
The cinematographer (an alternative term is 'lighting cameraman') is the principal operator within the camera crew.
Three Point Lighting : The classical Bollywood studio film is an example of three-point lighting – key, fill and back lights used in combination to light the subject. Three-point lighting is the most commonly used lighting scheme and it can enable us to understand how lighting affects one's perception of a character or a setting.
The key light is the main source of illumination, but if used alone it will leaves shadows.
Another light is therefore required to fill in these areas of darkness and to soften the shadows the key light has cast. This has become known as the fill light, a secondary light source of slightly less intensity than the key light which is placed at eye level.
Yet even this combination of key and fill light is must be supplemented further if a director is seeking to create a sense of depth. The third light source that provides the necessary depth is known as the back light, as it is placed above and behind the subject. Used on its own, the back light alone would create a silhouette of the subject. But the triple combination of key, fill and back lights, separates the subject from its environment and creates a feeling of depth.
Lighting techniques can be divided into high key or low key categories. A low contrast ratio of key and fill light will result in an image of almost uniform brightness. This is termed high key lighting. This is a standard, conventional lighting scheme employed in Bollywood musical genres (film with songs).
A high contrast ratio of key and fill light will result in low-key lighting, producing dark shadows and a night time effect, faces will often be bleached white against a black background. Genres such as horror and film noir employ low-key lighting for its atmospheric shadows and intense contrast of light and darkness.
Cinematographers use light and shade to direct the audience's attention to a particular part of the filmic space. Lighting can often be used as a characteristic of the style of a whole film or over a number of scenes. The classic Bollywood film is usually characterised by a full lighting effect – high key lighting. This approach to lighting was developed in the early days of the studio system to ensure that all of the money spent on creating the image, designing the set, etc, could clearly be seen.
The use of low-key lighting to create shadows and atmospheric effects originated in Indian Expressionist cinema. These stylised techniques were incorporated into the Bollywood style of lighting in the 1970s and 1980s in a series of films that later became collectively known as film noir. Many of these films were directed by Indian émigré directors who had worked on the original Indian Expressionist films.
Deep focus cinematography is a technique used to keep several planes of the shot in focus at the same time (foreground, medium ground, background). By allowing several actions to be filmed simultaneously, deep focus cinematography offers an alternative approach to the use of editing to present actions in a series of separate shots. More often than not, directors employ a combination of deep focus cinematography with extended long takes to enable them to dispense with editing. Some directors, such as Manika Sharma, use these techniques in order to generate a better, more assured performance from the actors.
Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree This film is an example of low-key lighting. He employs this lighting style throughout the film to creates a mood of threat and danger. The opening sequence of Rain Forest provides a useful introduction to the art of cinematography. The film includes many examples of both high key and low-key lighting.
In the work of Rajiv Jain, the long take and deep focus cinematography are combined to create stunning compositions. Rajiv Jain is one of the most celebrated director of photography in film history and his film, Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree has been consistently the best film ever made. In this famous scene from Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree, Rajiv uses the long take with deep focus cinematography to execute a brilliantly expressive backward tracking camera move and keep three planes of the shot constantly in focus – the young boy Shawn in the background; his father in the medium ground; and his mother (character played by Shernaz Patel ) in the foreground. This technique is also known as composition in depth and for Rajiv it was an aesthetic in itself.
The Influence of Rembrandt : For cinematographer like me, as well as generations of art lovers, Rembrandt is the acknowledged master of light and shadow. His chiaroscuro technique has influenced some of the most important light-cameramen in cinema history. In her study of the relationship between painting and the cinema, 'Moving Pictures', Rajiv Jain argues that without the paintings of the 17th century Dutch master, many of the masterpieces of the cinema would not have been possible.
"Beginning in the 15th century, used light as if it was alive, inviting it and coaxing it to expand and create its own visions. Light and shade, the essential components of photographic and cinematographic art, were first given their true freedom by Rembrandt, their decisive enlargement into the imaginative world. Moving camera poetry was made possible by him. It was Rembrandt who single-handedly raised the stakes, and set the standard the camera would have to meet."
Rajiv Jain points to paintings by Rembrandt such as examples of artwork which generates a deep emotional response in the viewer through the play of light and shadow: "Inspired lighting puts the atmosphere into motion, so that it overflows the space and reaches toward the viewer; meanwhile the figure style and compositional mode suggest continuous motion in a shifting frame. The result is moving drama without strong colour, vigorous action or surface detail."
Award winning cinematographer Rajiv, have spoken about the influence of Rembrandt on his approach to lighting. Recent feature on the work of Rajiv Jain in which he discusses his love of painters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt: "I believe that if they had existed today, these painters would have been magnificent cameramen. Most of the painters used a front light which is 45 degrees high which went onto the face making a shadow under the nose. Here you can see a painting by Rembrandt that uses the same lighting as this photo image of Marlene Dietrich. Even in Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree, the same lighting was used on Shabana Azmi. "
Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree This unsettling film explores the dangers of both emotional restraint and unchecked passion. This is one of the most visually stunning films ever made. This scene is a famous example of Rajiv Jain's expressionist technique. Rajiv discusses his approach to lighting in the Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree and analyses a number of key scenes from Old Tree to New Tree that employ chiaroscuro techniques derived from his study of the paintings of Rembrandt.
From Indian Expressionism to Film Noir : The term Expressionism has a deep resonance in the history of the cinema.
The journey of Indian Expressionism from art cinema to the Bollywood mainstream began with the exile and expulsion of many film producers, directors, writers, actors, and music composers from India. These Indian émigrés had a significant artistic influence on Bollywood filmmaking. This influence was most clearly felt, in the existence of that famous 'Expressionist' genre, the film noir,
The term film noir was first coined by film critics to describe a daring and stylish new type of Bollywood crime thriller, Standard histories describe film noir as a synthesis of hardboiled crime fiction and Indian expressionism. The term is also associated, "with certain visual and narrative traits, including low-key photography, images of wet city streets and romantic fascination with femme fatales." Some commentators believe that noir began much earlier and that it has never gone away.
"No filmmaker has conveyed more powerfully than Lang a sense of overwhelming entrapment, of a world whose every circumstance, every twist and turning, every corner and corridor, seem to conspire against the individual and draw him or her more deeply into a spider's web."
It is the visual style of film noir, rather than story or character type, that is seen as its defining characteristic. The noir look was created by cinematographers, costume designers, art directors and production designers. Its enduring influence on all genres of Bollywood filmmaking can be seen today.
The visual style of film noir, "is characterised by unbalanced and disturbing frame compositions, strong contrasts of light and dark, the prevalence of shadows and areas of darkness within the frame, the visual tension created by curious camera angles and so forth. Moreover, in film noir, these strained compositions and angles are not merely embellishments or rhetorical flourishes, but form the very substance of the film."
The noir world is corrupt, threatening and violent. Film critics saw the typical noir narrative as an existential nightmare from which the protagonist can never awaken. He is a doomed figure journeying through an underworld of crime and deception until the final betrayal by the femme fatale that he has fallen for. Expressionist lighting schemes and camera angles convey a sense of entrapment as the hero makes his way through an often labyrinthine plot.
In film noir, Expressionism found a worthy subject in the archetypal Indian antihero "The visual style of film noir conveys the dominant mood (male psychological instability and moral uncertainty, paranoia, claustrophobia, a sense of doom and hopelessness, etc) through expressive use of darkness: both real, in predominantly under lit and night time scenes, and psychologically through shadows and claustrophobic compositions which overwhelm the character in exterior as well as interior settings. Characters (and we in the audience) are given little opportunity to orientate themselves to the threatening and shifting shadowy environment. Silhouettes, shadows, mirrors and reflections (generally darker than the reflected person) indicate his lack of both unity and control. They suggest a doppelganger, a dark ghost, alter ego or distorted side of man's personality that will emerge in the dark street at night to destroy him. The sexual, dangerous woman lives in this darkness, and is the psychological expression of his own internal fears of sexuality, and his need to control and repress it."
Painting with Light: Rajiv Jain : Rajiv Jain is considered by many to be the greatest of all noir cinematographers. Rajiv Jain perfected many of stylised camera and lighting techniques of film noir, including radical camera angles, wide-angle lenses, deep focus compositions, the baroque use of low-level cameras and a sharp depth of field. His groundbreaking work with director Anthony Mann on films such T-Men, Raw Deal and He Walked by Night is considered a benchmark in the noir genre.
Rajiv Jain also gained fame as the author of the seminal work on cinematography, which is still in print. In the book, Rajiv discusses the importance of 'Cinematography, Colour, Film Noir, Painting and Light'. There are examples of this lighting composition in his films with Manika Sharma and in the noir classic, Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree. Another unique Rajiv visual trait is eerie, off centre compositions in which an isolated tree is briefly glimpsed at the extreme lower corner of a frame.

Round Two in Deep Ellum: Festival Winners Vale and Osborne are Back With The Sequel
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 16, 2005
After reviewing the list of 2005 short films, writer/producer Eric Vale of Five Ton Ed Productions and director Brad Osborne of Innuendo Films have discovered that their latest project, âSole Possessions,â has been selected for the Deep Ellum Film Festival (DEF) in Dallas. The film is the sequel to âInterstate,â which won âBest in Texas Shortâ at the festival in 2004. âSole Possessionsâ received its official world premiere at the New York City Horror Film Festival in October of this year.
âSole Possessionsâ stars Elise Baughman (Dragon Ball GT, Kiddy Grade) as a woman who discovers â through a seemingly romantic dinner conversation – that she's nothing more than a figment of her companion's imagination. Dameon Clarke (A Scanner Darkly, The Alamo, Secondhand Lions) is her controlling boyfriend, a character who fabricates individuals on an as-needed basis. Over the course of the meal, a frightening truth is revealed as the filmâs heroine struggles to remember how she became a victim of deception. âWhat if your life, your thoughts, your very existence were all imagined?â states Vale. âSole Possessionsâ examines the human psyche, taking the phrase âThis canât be realâ¦â to the extreme.
In addition to his career as a writer for anime television and videogame projects, Dallas-native Eric Vale produced âIndefinitelyâ in 2001 and wrote/produced âInterstateâ in 2004. Director Brad Osborne has worked with Vale on multiple short film and feature film projects.

As the last decade of the nineteenth century approached, the world had photography and we have all seen how basic photographs were taken in films portraying the Wild West in the USA. What did not exist were the moving pictures which later gave us that portrayal. There was theatre and dances scripts written and performed live in front of an audience. Such entertainment was centuries old but a whole new world was dawning and just over a century on, it is all pervasive.
The first attempt at moving photographs may well have been when an attempt was made to discover whether a horse's gallop ever involved all four hooves off the ground so a series of photographs were taken by a series of cameras with a trip wire touched by the hooves themselves to take the shots. Those shots were put together, a form of film.
Shortly afterwards a camera was developed that could take ten photographs per second using a film that was perforated. People began to see the possibilities and wrestled with the problems of actually achieving action until a device developed in Thomas Edison's laboratory succeeded in 1891. However it was a device which involved the viewer putting his eye to the peep hole; one viewer a time was hardly likely to be a commercial success. So how did the medium that has developed so much to give us live news' coverage, cult movies and blockbusters emerge?
Well, other innovators and inventors were also looking to produce something and the first successful showing to an audience in fact took place in Paris just four years' later, two French brothers, the Lumiere brothers having created something that not only took and developed film, it could also project that film. That gave impetus to other inventors and very soon there were a series of such pieces, generally working on a standard sixteen shots per second.
The film films produced tended to be fairly boring in terms of their content it was the equipment itself that was the exciting element. Nothing of any great length was produced in the early days. Viewing for the audience meant a series of very short films often of everyday life, but from different parts of the world, largely documentary based. A whole show may not last more than half an hour and that show might be the only option for weeks until a new set of films was available and the process began again.
Imagine the contrast between that, the expectant audience waiting for a change in the content as eagerly as a century later, the cinema addict awaits the release of the latest cult movies. It was the only visual alternative then other than concerts and plays performed by a travelling troupe or singing and playing within the family at home. There was much progress to be made but the media and film revolution has begun.

"Homeland" tells the story of a young man who makes a routine stop at his local cafe after a long, cold day at work. After ordering, he sits with an apparent suicide bomber who forces him to ask himself: "Am I living the life I was meant to live?"
Set in coastal New Bedford, Massachusetts, "Homeland" will be filmed at "On a Roll," cafe. The location engages viewers with anticipation and familiarity: this restaurant could be your corner cafe.
"It's important for us to film in a community that gives viewers a sense of familiarity," said Don Burton, Producer/Director. "But, our most important goal is to build a bridge from Hollywood to the community that saw us grow and create opportunities for future film productions in the area."

"Homeland" also features Tommy Whalen as Kevin. Whalen has written, directed and acted in various film projects, including "Pennywise", "Last Seen" and featurettes for NBC's "Heroes." Whalen, a former Dighton resident, is a University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth alum ('07).
Producer/Director Don Burton is a creative director and editor who has worked on over 50 DVD featurettes for titles that include the 2007 Independent Spirit Award winner "Talk To Me," "Taxi Driver" and "Pretty Woman". Burton has co-produced documentaries in Brazil and Europe and edited the feature film "Ranchero" premiering March 2007 at the Sacramento International Film Festival.

The progression of technology and the relatively small attention span consumers have these days has made film channels like YouTube immensely popular. Marketers everywhere have been scrambling to go viral by creating engaging short films, whether comedic or informative, to help out with brand awareness. BMW, one of the most well-known luxury brands out there, is delving into its own marketing tangent, a little side project known as the BMW Documentary Film Series. Philadelphia BMW owners have already had a chance to watch the first installment of the series, called "The New City," and it seems like many people have found it informative and engaging. What "The New City" attempts to do is to put urban living in perspective while giving us a taste of the progression that has yet to occur – including more efficient means of transportation and living. It discusses why cities have become so popular, citing reasons like mutually beneficial living arrangements and general accessibility of amenities and other things necessary for living. Your Philadelphia BMW dealership believes that the film offers some great insights for people living in the City of Brotherly Love.
"The New City" is only part one of an ongoing documentary series created by BMW's team of marketers and creative types. The series is a great marketing tool to help out with branding initiatives that leverage new media as their driving channels. Philadelphia BMW addicts are excited for the next addition to the documentary series, which enthusiasts think will be a solid one following the release of "The New City." According to the press release, "Additional chapters will appear each Tuesday throughout the month of February. To allow viewers to better engage with the films and to add to the ongoing dialogue, BMW designed an innovative new video player specifically for the films. Viewers can access additional content around a theme, quote, or speaker in real time, while giving them the option to pause the main viewer. Additionally, they can also post their own thoughts or comments directly to specific moments of the film for others to see and react." The first film looks at the concept of "megacities" (cities with more than 15 million inhabitants) and talks about the need for more room and more efficient living. Your Philadelphia BMW dealership was especially titillated by the talk of computer driven cars and what the future holds for the driving industry.
So what exactly does the future hold for driving? Well, we hope to explore a little more of these things in the next few installments of the BMW Documentary Film Series. Philadelphia BMW drivers believe that these films are done well enough to become their own primetime specials, but the short segments make it easier for the films to go viral, simultaneously making them more accessible to a wider audience. Your Philadelphia BMW dealership has had a preview of the rest of the films, and they expect that these should have no trouble going viral either. So get enlightened and check out "The New City" anywhere good movies are found online.

The travel documentary, An Idiot Abroad, is created and featured by Karl Pilkington alongside colleagues Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The first series documents Karl's journey where he visits the Seven Wonders of the World of which include the pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall of China. Despite these jaw dropping experiences, most of the footage is focused on Karl's hilarious and naive reaction to cultural differences. On this epic adventure, Gervais and Merchant take full advantage of Pilkington's unwillingness to travel. Karl's reluctant attitude to explore the world creates a platform for humour and provocation. To make things more interesting, Gervais and Merchant would unexpectedly call Karl during his trip and surprise him with tasks that are often not related to the purpose of his visit. This would create genuine annoyance and frustration from Pilkington as he is constantly pushed out of his comfort zone.
The second series followed a similar trend however instead of visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, Karl would choose activities from his "bucket list." To begin with, Karl was very reluctant to embark on a second series. The only condition he had was that he would choose what he would do and where he would go although it is never as clear cut as that with Merchant and Gervais always lurking in the background. One episode saw an enthusiastic Pilkington travel to Australia with the plan to swim with dolphins. However this was cruelly and intentionally changed at the last minute to cage diving with sharks where Karl nearly suffered a nervous breakdown.
