Final Weekend
Contemporary Northwest Photography
Curated by TJ Norris
Pioneer Place Mall, 700 SW 5th Avenue/3rd Floor, Portland OR
Through Saturday, June 1 (12-6PM)
The End Has Only Just Begun
Only recently did I get the chance to see a fairly good streaming version of filmmaker Todd Haynes' seminal Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987). Since sometime in the mid 90's I had to settle with a poor, static-filled VHS copy of a copy of a copy. It stunned me, not unlike the opening number We've Only Just Begun, a record of time that re-plays with and on my mind. The singer Karen Carpenter died thirty years ago, and though she and her brother created adult contemporary music as it was once genrefied, it was far out of its time. Hauntingly so some may say. But they churned the waters like directionally-challenged salmon into a golden stream of hits.
As Off the Plain closes to the public this upcoming weekend I'm reminded moreso now than ever of my personal commitments. Considering things of late it makes much sense to dive deep and directional. The thought of streams, of where they take you are fleeting (of consciousness, against the current, to the unknown…). In the past year I have gained new opportunities outside of my long-term regional focus. In Nebraska I had a wonderful month-long residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Then, this passing Spring it was off to Fargo, ND as I was invited as a guest artist/curator to the Roland Dille Center for the Arts at MSUM and most recently my first invitation to UofO's Washburn Gallery where I worked with advanced photography students to piece together exhibitions of their work. And I've now traveled to seventeen of the United States to shoot on location for my upcoming No Sign (2008-13) monograph. This poses a great big question about how to best look at time, the way in which it's well spent, expendable and expansive.
And while there is no stopping time, the way in which I've paid it forward is finding its own natural path (+ ROI) within this rift. I'm proud to announce that after a dozen years of presenting work in and around Portland that this particular exhibition is my final thesis as a local freelance curator. In saying so, the trajectory that took me from my own gallery Soundvision (2002-03), to a curatorial trilogy (grey/area, invisible.other, .meta) and to more underground shows like PXL and re:Nude have all broadened my upcoming path. Honored to have had wonderful opportunities to interact with the next generation of students and galleries at PNCA and PSU among many others, it's time. Time to re-charge and lay the fruits of these labors-at-large on the table. While still imagining that curation is an integral part of my creative studio practice I want to fuel the focus of my craft larger and wider - and to look at installation in its pure form. All of this will come in good time. While I cannot quite spell the next steps out in the moment, that would alas, be rather, how would you say, a bit too predictable.
Thanks to you all (you know who you are).
In The O…
From Friday's A&E back page (May 24)
"As his final curatorial project in Portland before he shifts focus to a monograph of photographic work, multidisciplinary artist TJ Norris presents contemporary Northwest photography, drawing together a group show that explores the activating properties of light — its dimensions, angles and more — and how they might be reshaped in the hands of various artists, including Seattle's Colleen Woolpert (still image from the video "Red Twin Blue Twin," 2010, pictured)…" Full Story
Serving Says….
From the title "Northwest Photography: the Same but Different" I had the feeling that someone out there may have taken more than a typical scant look at what's going on at Place through the weekend of 6/1. Author Jenna Lechner writes…"Some shows demand a second viewing. Sometimes because they're great, sometimes because they're a totally different experience on a second viewing, and sometimes because they're a slightly different exhibit on a second viewing. And then, of course, some shows are simply demanding. All of the above are true in Place Gallery's survey of Northwest contemporary photography, Off the Plain. Curated by Portland photographer TJ Norris, it's a packed group show with 17 artists and showcases a mix of non-traditional photographs……" (more here)
PS: This just in, and I have to say I most certainly feel a part of this ongoing conversation that Sarah Sze is talking about, hear hear!
Assignment: Mini Reviews
A recent assignment for students attending my Exploring the Abstract class at Newspace Center of Photography was to write short reviews of Off the Plain. Here are the results:
JOE: Off the Plain, a show of contemporary Northwest photography, is a stimulating exhibit of twenty mixed media works that build on photography but go beyond traditional notions of the photograph. Curator TJ Norris offers it as "an opportunity to look forward from the cast of photographic traditions without discounting its influence." Some works are manipulated or layered images, such as two large headshots, side by side, of apparently different individuals. Put on the available 3-D glasses and one head becomes the other, or not, depending on which eye is used (one lens is red, the other green). The artist describes it as "an imaginary portrait of the conceptual space where identities overlap." Other pieces are more difficult to appreciate unless one is familiar with current movements in photography, and some of the accompanying artist's statements are conceptualized beyond easy understanding. Still, it is well worth a visit. Come prepared to be challenged.
Brooks Dierdorff, Remnant: Lots of open space to wander around and contemplate, even to sit and be still while facing death as it hangs from a wall. A 1940's black and white photograph of my beloved grandparents – one on each side of a freshly shot deer hanging from a tree – comes to mind. Twenty or so years later someone shoots Grandpa with a camera while he feeds a deer from his hand. Grandpa just celebrated his 102nd birthday. I can't get Dierdorff's arrow out of my mind. What is the relationship between Organizing Principles and Remnant?
Ben Buswell, First There is a Mountain: Lines in the Sand – millions of mountain years and billions of microscopic elements coming together to create non-linear lines only to be scooped up by the power of water and wind and transported elsewhere on the planet. Sand - temporarily laid at our feet, captured by a lens and constrained within a frame, glass front and board backing – permanent – for a time. I want to go to that place on the beach and be there to capture the transitory and make it a permanent part of my short life!
ANN: Off The Plain is a wonderful collection of contemporary photographic work which has something for everyone. My favorite work is the piece by Tricia Hoffman. Tricia uses an old sewing machine case to tell a compelling story which is both personal and historic. I grew up with a similar piece of furniture which was loaded with sox for darning and spools and scissors and hat pins. Sewing and the machine represented both my Mother and a way of life when everything was hand made. The artist talks about the journey the sewing machine table made throughout her life from place to place and she shows images in the drawers of things that could have been or were in the drawers. The emotional content is obvious; and references compelling.
Q+A: Further Thoughts From In/Outside The Field
After offering, some local inquiring minds in the arts wanted to know — and a handful of Off the Plain artists responded in kind. Questions were submitted by two regional professionals in the arts which generated some particularly provocative and pertinent responses.
Carson Legree, Director
Clark College's Archer Gallery asks…
1.) How does your work reference and/or build upon the work of earlier artists? Who are those artists and how did they influence your work? I can't look at Ben Buswell's work, for instance without thinking of Vida Clements and her paintings that "lack a point of reference, horizon, or discernible depth of field". Is anyone looking at Bruce Conner? Harrison Higgs maybe? Does Richard Schemmerer ever look at the work of someone like Lucas Samaras?
Ben Buswell: To address Vija Celmins specifically, I don't associate my work with hers as our choices regarding process are very different, and for me this is where much of the meaning in both of our work lies. I do however understand the connection between the choices we make regarding how we frame images. For me this choice is two fold. On the one hand, the lack of reference point, along with surface manipulation and the angled framing, allows me to "objectify" the photograph. On the other, the images I use are of specific places, yet have ubiquitous associations. A good analog to this second idea is Roni Horn's "Some Thames" series of photographs.
Harrison Higgs: Yes to Bruce Conner. My primary camera for many years was a vacuum-tube video camera from which I grabbed stills. Less interested in the literal, I took to that pulsing glowing rhythm of video. Because my experience of the image in this form was based upon the projection and gathering of light, Robert Irwin also affected my thinking (though not my style).
Michael Sell: This particular vein of my work springs from a weird place combining the ideas of artists like Paul Klee and Mark Rothko with the notion of photography as a purely decorative element in contemporary society. The notion of the author is somewhat lost in the era of phone cameras and ubiquitous Internet access. I recently discovered the work of Byron Kim whose Synecdoche looks very similar to this work. His idea of exploring racial identity through singular fields of colors is intriguing when I compare it to my work. Boiling down a person's identity, heritage, or ethnicity to a single color is a way of categorizing humanity. The taxonomy in my piece is different in that the work explores selective editing and summarization of these famous images.
Richard Schemmerer: I am familiar with Lucas Samaras and like his art books especially the ones with nails and razor blades. I have my own series of book art. As an interdisciplinary artist I appreciate that he is not afraid of paint. I can relate to that as a painter myself. To me painting is not a dirty word, is not dead, and will always have a special priority to me and to many others. I lived in Hawaii for many years and became familiar with a different art aesthetic. There was a lot of talk about East verses West. The Japanese culture is very strongly represented on the islands. I was always fascinated by the art of origami as it can transform a flat sheet into something magical which dates back to the Edo period around 1600 but is predated by Chinese practice during the Sung Dynasty.
I took a lose approach by updating the technique and use it as modular form to built the base construction. I have been inspired to use this approach by Japanese artist Mark Kadota who builds intricate origamies out of light wood. I used this approach to lift the photographs of the ground so to speak inspired by modern day architects like Frank Gehry, but also by natural structures like honey combs. Intellectually I followed a blend of paths like Dada and Jacques Derrida's ideas of deconstruction. Because I work "off the plain" a lot I have a myriad of influences to be grateful for especially Félix González-Torres.
Ted Hiebert: In a larger context my work has always paid special attention to artists working in self-portraiture and alternative techniques, especially optical (rather than chemical) alternatives. Among those that play heavily in my own influence are Lucas Samaras, Evergon, Diana Thorneycroft and Joel Peter Witkin. In a broader context I've also been heavily influenced by artists like Bruce Nauman and John Baldessari for their ability to fuse playful and conceptual approaches to art-making.
Chao Wang: I think one of my great influences is the photographer Moriyama Daido. I've enjoyed many of his works and think the influence on me is about the freedom to interpret things as I see — taking photos the way that your mind tells you; not being constrained by the conventional sense of beauty. Many of his photos reflect the dark side of the Japanese society, but personally I want to express my opinion in a strange but yet humorous way.
Carson Legree, Director
Clark College's Archer Gallery asks…
2.) How does your work fit into a NW tradition? Does it reference previous NW artists or it is somehow shaped by the natural or unnatural environment of the NW?
Michael Sell: Not sure. I moved here from the midwest in 2009, but I don't yet see a regional specificity to my work as of yet.
Harrison Higgs: I'm not sure I do fit in. The supernatural environment is everywhere though.
Chao Wang: The NW's nature definitely play a huge role in my photographs, I enjoy how people and nature seems to connect tightly here, but sometimes also found this strange in a way, since i do not grow up this way, it is interesting that I heard a expression that "people in seattle always seem to dress like they are going camping the next minute" . I found it really interesting and also represent a certain stereotype that i somehow want to include in my works.
Ted Hiebert: Not really. I'm new to the Pacific NW (moved in 2009) so still acclimatizing to what it means to be working as an artist here. I'm from the west coast of Canada however, so the Vancouver School does factor somewhat into my frame of reference, though mostly as a tradition I try to avoid mimicking.
Richard Schemmerer: NW art tradition in my mind would refer to native Indian art. In some ways I tried to adopt a sense of their philosophy in regard to the environment as one of the curatorial requirements was to reflect on the NW sensibility. Like in the Chilcat Indian tradition that weaves tree bark into textiles. The base of my sculptures is not just origami but also a 3 D version of weaving them together. The photos are of course made from paper which is tree pulp made from trees.
Carson Legree, Director
Clark College's Archer Gallery asks…
3.) How does your work reveal or describe some aspect of life that is unique to the 21st Century?
Richard Schemmerer: First of all I find this question unfair, slightly passive/aggressive and irrelevant. That said it is of course an excellent question. The 21st century is still very young and we are still with one foot at least in an old world paradigm. So let me address this questions from that position I am in. First of all the pieces are architectural and highly complicated in their structural form I could not have made them with the help of advanced glues. Just kidding but for the fun of it lets assume life in the 21st Century is unique.
My work bridges architecture, photography art, craft, concept, social practice and time based art all into a singular presentation. It tempts the observer to reflect at his role as such and as the piece is observed the observer becomes a performer. The sculptures I presented can today shape shift in size and actually be built as either public art or used as blue print for lets say a high rise complex.
Harrison Higgs: I don't think I'm successfully describing it yet in my work, but we are finally moving away from dualistic views of the world.
Ted Hiebert: The works in this show are directly related to a series of meditations I have been doing on the question of technology. I'm interested in the ways technology shapes our frames of conceptions and alters what we might otherwise see as normalized modes of perception. At stake in the question of technology is our ability to imagine beyond the confines of new and seductive modes of digital perception — our ability to remix the machines, so to speak, and to find creative ways to dialogue with the new possibilities technology offers. While anaglyph 3d glasses are not a 21st century invention, I see these interventions into the technique as allegorical in that they suggest ways to also intervene into how we use other technological apparatuses.
Chao Wang: I guess it has to do with the involvement of technology. I shoot film, but instead of printing with an enlarger, I enjoy the freedom of scanning the negatives and using software to add my texture and language into the photos.
Michael Sell: This work helps to illustrate the anonymity of the contemporary photographer. Technology, the Internet, and photography in general are so widespread in industrial society (and education) that the important names and themes become seemingly less important. This is a generalization of sorts, but as an educator, I find that students remember fewer and fewer specifics about the artists we study in class. This work responds to that; it is an idea that the average person wouldn't want to be anywhere near Serrano's Piss Christ, but if you can paint their wall in that burnt orange yellow, the source of the color means less than how the color itself affects their lives.
Ronald Kriesel, Board Chair
3D Center of Art & Photography asks…
1.) Curator Norris sought to activate the possibilities of how light might be re-shaped through dimensionality, slippage, angularity or aspects that are participatory or performative. How did your art contribution in this exhibit give me, the viewer, the opportunity to look forward from the cast of photographic traditions without discounting its continued influence.
Ben Buswell: As someone who is mainly concerned with objects, I come to this exhibition as an outsider to the traditions of photography. My interest in the photograph has to do with it's use as a material and as container of history. I am interested in the slippage of the image in time and it's relationship to the viewer, "the frozen moment" vs. the active object.
Richard Schemmerer: As the images have a shiny surface and are variegated in tone, combined and installed on a white wall they do throw shadows which change with the time of day and the amount of sun shine coming through. The light also shifts and exposes different aspects of the construction and the motive as the viewer moves around it. I think light breaks on the surface of these elements and gives them a futuristic aspect. One can imagine that we live in housing modules on a different planet in designs like it.
In terms of "photographic traditions, et al" I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. The viewer becomes the lens by which this installation will be remembered. My hope was to introduce a new way to present photography and liberate it from being a framed flat surface or serve as a copy of nature, a memento mori or being purely documentary. At the same time these photo objects fulfill the same tasks as ordinary photography but also offer up a conceptual aspect as well as a craft element.
Ted Hiebert: These works are about expanding the creative field of vision, remixing what we see in ways that challenge the static sense of the image and instead require us to see pictures for the conceptual impact they have. Technical interventions are both an homage to past technologies (since they wouldn't be possible without the technologies they use) and a challenge (hopefully) to the possibilities prescribed in advance by technology itself. My pictures use the isolation of the eyes necessary for anaglyph 3d to instead mashup two different pictures of the world, reinforcing the simple claim that we can see the world in more than one way at any given time.
Ronald Kriesel, Board Chair
3D Center of Art & Photography asks…
2.) We all make choices about liking or expecting to like an artwork or an exhibit. Contemporary art is a challenge for me in which to engage. For me to appreciate the art or intent of the art or the implied story of the art, I expect it to appeal to me. Most art in this exhibit did not appeal to me.
Per the Curator's goal, which pieces made me think in a new way: "Involuntary Souvenirs", "Photo Swatch Grid #1" (did the red tones I moved stay together until today?) and "Untitled Constructed Perspectives 01-05" ( Something about bringing nature with us). So I wonder what you think of this possibility? Are the pieces I passed over telling a story I missed? Why did they not also make me think in new ways? Or were they experiments that failed?
Harrison Higgs: I am working with the light based-image as projected into space, reappearing in different planes. It is true that I've depersonalized the original narrative. This round goes to industry.
Ted Hiebert: I think there is value to failed experiments, and I think there is a certain willingness required on the part of the viewer in order to find ways to engage with work that isn't immediately appealing. This is especially true with contemporary art, which often privileges dialogue — and consequently doesn't always declare in advance what it means (since that meaning waits in many ways to be determined dialogically). At the same time, many of the works in this exhibition asked the viewer to work quite hard in order to engage, something that most of us have a particular threshold for. So — was there something missed if you didn't work hard enough to engage all of the works? Sure. But at the same time, there will always be things missed in a story that privileges engagement over information or didactic presentation. It's an incomplete answer of course, but more just to point to the larger context in which this kind of reaction is completely inline with the thresholds we all have for engagement with various forms of contemporary art. Works never fail on their own, nor do they succeed without those who engage them.
Richard Schemmerer: I think art does not have to be understood, felt or liked for that matter. Sometimes the greatest works are the pieces we don't like. They can teach us about the role of expectation or our judgment. Good art serves mostly as a mirror first, and secondarily as a bit of entertainment. My work "Constructed Perspective" took multiple perspectives into consideration. I had decided that for this exhibit I would create something that was likeable for most people and easy to grasp and relate to. The elements invoke nature and its ability to multiply or replicate.
They also are architectural - just like the base of biology is mathematics and architecture, but they also can be experienced as a mental construct like the architecture of memory — and how each image we screen builds up to the whole picture. A life time of pictures that makes the movie of our life. An experiment can never fail because it was intended to be an experiment not a recreation, an act that has already happened many times before. Every experiment is at its core a failure. But failure is good as with nothing new would ever be conceived. So by not liking some pieces the viewer is invited to reconsider these pieces as the markers that will be the guide to a newer, more expanded vision.
Panel Discussion Postscript
l-r: Elizabeth Papadopoulos, Brooks Dierdorff, Jen Vaughn, Ben Buswell + Richard Schemmerer; Brian White + Arcy Douglass (panelists)
(Saturday, May 4, 2013)
On one of Portland's very first bright summer-like days our Artist/Panel Discussion The Constant Construct + Inevitability of Complex Perspective began its session. After a short curatorial intro the discussion took off with short bios and insights about each artist's work in context within the exhibition. The panel talked about breaching photographic traditions, about teaching (three of the panelists are also teachers), about sculpture, and where we are at right now with media overload in the Northwest.
Regionalism was happily not the main crux of the conversation, though conclusions were made in light of the medium that it mattered to an extent. Bolstered by its conceptual nature the overarching theme was how the photograph is ultimately shapeshifted in a variety of unexpected forms nowadays. That was until post-modernism was brought up. This sparked considerations about language in the arts, in general and globally, particularly pertaining to semblances between art and architecture. This debate could have gone on a whole lot longer given that Place's Gabe Flores dropped hints of post-structural theorist Lacan and the heterotopias of Foucault into the conversation. If time allowed we could have gone a few more rounds (perhaps infinitely?) on this alone. For me it brought back up my inclusion in the amazing Of Other Spaces exhibition I was involved in a few years back.
The dialogue was rife with issues pertaining to commerce and its aftermath, structure and ideology. Coming soon: a video excerpt of the above panel, as well as extended questions that were submitted to me by Carson Legree of Clark College's Archer Gallery and Ronald Kriesel of the (sadly defunct) 3D Center of Art & Photography. Stay tuned.

Replacement Jaw Made Using 3D Printing
One of the benefits of 3D printing is that it enables to essentially download spare parts for cars or electronics. Well, now you may be able to download spare parts for yourself (surgeons not included). An 83 year old woman from the Netherlands has now become part cyborg after a chronic bone infection meant her lower jaw had to be removed. No worries though, a new jaw was simply made by fusing together titanium dust using a laser, one layer at a time, in a manner very similar to more conventional 3D printing. It takes 33 layers to make up 1 mm of height and was then covered in ceramic. The surgery itself only took 4 hours, a fifth of the time usually required for reconstructive surgery of this type. The woman was also able to return after only 4 days and was apparently capable of uttering a few words directly after surgery.

After Recess, We'll Be Inventing New Molecules
You give some kids an atomic model set and they immediately fall asleep. Others, they struggle to recreate even a water molecule. Ten year-old Clara Lazen? She invented a new molecule.
Playing around in her 5th-grade class, she arranged carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms into a molecule that had never been seen before. But when a local chemist studied the structure, the bonds all fit like they should and the structure was realistic, at the very least. They called it tetranitratoxycarbon.
Now Clara has her name on a research paper, and despite the possible application of the molecule to explosives, she's pretty excited to be a part of such an awesome science project.
Check out a video feature on her discovery here.

The tarsier - a shy, wide-eyed nocturnal species from the Philippines - is the first primate to be identified as having the ability to communicate in purely ultrasonic frequencies.
A new study published in Biology Letters today has revealed that the endangered Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) communicates using sound with a frequency greater than 20 kilohertz. The finding contradicts conventional thinking that all primate vocaliations are audible to humans.

Throughout the glorious years of our marriage, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and Yours Truly has had few disagreements. I suppose I could count them all on my one hand, but I am not sure if it is my right hand or my left hand so I will just leave it at that.
I hear, of course, of many couples who do nothing but bicker and fight from morning till night. I have always wondered what the purpose of all that was and what it ever accomplished. I think there is a better way to live together.
There are several phrases I have memorized and used throughout the years of our marriage that has kept me in good standing.
"Yes, dear." "You're right, dear." "I'll do it right away, dear."
I have found that if I include the word "dear," with all of my responses it fares better for me.
Of course, I am the kind of person that does not have to be right all the time, which makes me the perfect husband. Admitting you are wrong, even if you do not think you are, is really not the end of the world. In fact, it may be the beginning of a bright new world.
I said "few disagreements," and I need to explain what I meant by that.
The major disagreements that my wife and I have had throughout the years can be boiled down into one phrase, "It's a mess." Usually, actually all the time this phrase is being used, it is coming from the lips of my wife.
Our disagreement is in the definition of "mess." She has one definition and I have another definition, and the twain shall never meet. Mark my words on that.

Czech Ramsar site removed from the Montreux Record
The Czech Republic has accomplished the measures needed for removal of the Ramsar site Novozámecky a Brehynsky rybník from the Montreux Record, the list of Wetlands of International Importance requiring urgent conservation attention, as of 26 September 2002. The fishponds, created in the 14th century, were placed upon the MR in 1994 as a result of considerable adverse ecological change resulting from mismanagement of the site and surrounding areas; following a Ramsar visit and some emergency Small Grants Fund assistance in the construction of damaged works, support from the national government, and an enormous amount of work by concerned officials at the scene, the situation has been turned round and the future seems promising for the site.
Tobias Salathé, Ramsar Regional Coordinator for Europe, reports:
The Novozamecky and Brehynsky Fishponds are semi-natural fishponds in the Czech Republic, created by the damming of valley streams. They were declared a National Nature Reserve and included in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance on 2 July 1990. Habitat includes extensive reedbeds, wet meadows, peat bogs and wet, coniferous woodland. An important area breeding and staging birds, including the White-tailed Sea Eagle and Osprey. The 923 ha site (Novozamecky pond 474ha, Brehynsky pond 130ha) provides habitat for several notable meadow plant species.
The fishponds were added to the Montreux Record on 18 September 1994 because of high-level eutrophication caused by unsuitable management and wastewater runoff from nearby settlements. The lack of conservation management resulted in vegetation changes in the fishpond surroundings with formerly rich flower and sedge meadows changing into reed and willow growths. In 1996, the historical water outflow device of Novozamecky pond was damaged and the pond was kept empty thereafter for safety reasons. With emergency support from the Ramsar Small Grants Fund and then from the Czech Ministry of the Environment, a new discharge device was built in 1997-98 and the fishpond could be filled again.
The Czech Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection (AOPK) is now controlling the fishpond management, executed by a contracted fisheries company. Suitable fish stock, including carp, pike and pike-perch, was introduced to reduce the eutrophication of the ponds and to enhance the biodiversity of the water plants. Where necessary, wire-netting prevents larger fish from eating too much of the aquatic vegetation. Since 1997, management measures include regular mowing of large areas of previously abandoned meadows, thus improving habitat for waterbirds. Small ponds for amphibians and water plants were created in the meadow landscape. The accumulated sediments in Novozamecky pond will be dredged in a phased approach, in order to monitor more easily its effects on the pond ecosystem. The Ministry supports a specific project to monitor physical, chemical, vegetation and bird parameters in relation to the fishpond management and the meadow mowing scheme.
In this way, the most important steps towards the gradual reduction of eutrophication have been undertaken and the ecological character of both ponds was successfully restored. The diversity of the waterbirds has been enhanced significantly. The water of the fishponds is clean and the fishpond management now corresponds to the conservation needs. Management of the reserve is supported financially by the Ministry of Environment through its landscape management programme. Since 1997, large areas of wet meadows around Novozamecky and Brehynsky fishponds are again mowed regularly. A management plan specifies in detail the maintenance and restoration measures to be undertaken during the period 2001-2012.
Thus, no direct danger to the Ramsar site exists any longer. After consideration of advice and comments from Ramsar's Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), the Department of Nature Protection of the Czech Ministry of Environment asked for its removal from the Montreux Record on 16 September 2002.
Reprint of the Montreux Record Questionnaire filed with the Bureau, with other materials, in support of the site's removal from the Montreux Record.
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands
Montreux Record - Questionnaire
(adopted by the Conference of the Contracting Parties in Resolution VI.1, Brisbane, 1996, accompanying the Guidelines for Operation of the Montreux Record)
Section One: Information for assessing possible inclusion of a listed site in the Montreux Record
Essential items
Name of site: Novozamecky and Brehynsky Fishponds
Ramsar Criteria for listing the site as internationally important: Criteria 1a, 2a and 2b were used, as the wetlands host a set of rare and endangered species.
Nature of the change in ecological character/potential for adverse change: The site was included in the Montreux Record on 18 September 1994 because of high-level eutrophication caused mainly by unsuitable fishpond management and pollution by wastewater from settlements. Moreover, no conservation management had been undertaken in the Novozamecky Fishpond Reserve, resulting in vegetation changes in the fishpond surroundin8s. Flower-rich and sedge meadows important for birds had been changing into reed and willow growths. In 1996, additional direct threat to the Novozamecky fishpond appeared: the historical wooden discharge device was damaged and the fishpond was not refilled for safety reasons. No means of financial support for immediate reconstruction were available. With the aid of the Ramsar Small Grants Fund and later also with financial support of the Czech Ministry of Environment, a new discharge device was built in the years 1997-98 and the fishpond could be filled again.
However, the above mentioned changes have caused gradual reduction of flora and fauna in both reserves.
Reason(s) for adverse change, or potential adverse change, in ecological character: Until 1989, both fishponds were kept by the Doksy branch of the State Fisheries and were managed intensively (massive input of fertilisers and lime, large fish stock size, additional feeding of the fish). The state nature conservancy did not have much possibilities to intervene in the fishpond management practices, lacking effective legislation tools. Moreover, no sewage treatment plants were available in the surrounding settlements and the wastewater was discharged to tributaries of the Novozamecky fishpond. Nutrients from the surrounding fields which were fertilised intensively were also washed to the streams.
Additional items which may be included
Date Information Sheet on Ramsar Wetlands submitted
Date and source of Information Sheet updates (e.g. National Reports, national wetland inventory, specific survey)
Benefits and values derived from the site
Extent to which values and benefits derived from the site have decreased or changed
Monitoring programme in place at the site, if any (technique(s), objectives, and nature of data and information gathered)
Assessment procedures in place, if any (how is the information obtained from the monitoring programme used)
Ameliorative and restoration measures in place or planned (if any) so far List of attachments provided by the Contracting Party (if applicable)
List of attachments provided by the Ramsar Bureau (if applicable)
Section Two: Information for assessing possible removal of a listed site from the Montreux Record
Success of ameliorative restoration or maintenance measures
After political changes in the country in 1989, the administration of both fishponds was undertaken by the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection (AOPK CR). The fishponds were let out to the Doksy Fisheries under conditions set by the Agency. Fishpond management in the area is thus entirely controlled by nature conservancy. A suitable fish stock composition has been introduced in order to reduce eutrophy of the fishponds (mixed stock including carp, pike and pike-perch). To enhance biodiversity of water plants, wire-netting fences were built at places with frequent occurrence of the protected and endangered species. The fences can be entered only by smaller fish which do not restrict the vegetation.
A new sewage treatment plant has been built in the town of Doksy, therefore, the most important source of pollution of the Novozamecky fishpond has been eliminated.
Since 1997, conservation management of the Novozamecky fishpond has been ensured, including regular mowing (both mechanical and manual) of large areas of the previously abandoned meadows and improving habitats of the waterbirds. Six small pools for amphibians and water plants have been made in the meadows, however, they are frequently used also by waterbirds because low vegetation is maintained on watersides.
Removing of mud from the Novozamecky fishpond, using the so-called wet method, is planned. It will be implemented in several steps, in order to be able to monitor and analyse the action properly.
Proposed monitoring and assessment procedures
Both reserves are monitored within several projects of the Ministry of Environment (e.g., Grant VaV 640/8/00). Status of water vegetation and numbers of birds, as well as chemical and physical quality of the water, are monitored in relation to fishpond management.
The development of flora and vegetation and the composition of bird and other animal species are studied at meadows surrounding the Novozamecky fishpond, in relation to mowing of the meadows and cutting of self-seeding plants.
The current projects should be finished by 2003, however, the monitoring is supposed to be continued in the following years.
Extent to which the ecological character, benefits and values of the site have been restored or maintained (provide details)
Project reports and other studies suggest that conservation management carried out in the reserves by the AOPK CR has positive effect on the habitats. Consequences of the overall eutrophication of both fishponds cannot be removed in a short-time period, however, the most important steps towards gradual reduction of eutrophy have been undertaken. It can be summarised that the ecological character of both sites has been being restored successfully and that there is no danger of an unexpected reverse.
Diversity of waterbirds in the Novozamecky fishpond has been enhanced markedly by the renewed mowing of wet meadows surrounding tile fishpond.
The planned removing of mud from the Novozamecky fishpond will also largely contribute to the reduction of eutrophy, since an enormous amount of nutrients is deposited in the sediments.
Rationale for removing the site from the Montreux Record
In comparison with 1994, when the Novozamecky and Brehynsky fishponds were included in the Montreux Record, the situation has changed dramatically. While both fishponds were highly eutrophic in 1994, which was caused by intensive fishpond management and discharging of wastewater into tributaries of the Novozamecky fishpond, nowadays these negative effects are reduced largely. Both fishponds are administered by the AOPK CR and let out to the fisheries, however, fishpond management is based on a management plan which is prepared every year in relation to the current status of the sites and which is aimed at the overall reduction of eutrophy. The management plan is compulsory for the hirers and nature conservancy is not dependent financially on the rent or profit from fish sale. Nowadays, the water in both fishponds is relatively clean and dominated by vegetation of the Potamion eurosibiricum Koch 1926 alliance. The fishponds are bordered by good-quality reed beds which are not threatened by human activities.
Mud has been probably never removed in either of the fishponds. However, the width of the sediment layer exceeds 1 m, which is inconvenient for both nature conservation and fishpond management. Removing of mud from the Novozamecky fishpond is thus planned. It will be implemented in several years and should further improve ecological status of the site. The Ministry of Environment has already promised financial support through the Programme of landscape management. The Brehynsky fishpond will be probably treated later, with respect to financial and time demands of the procedure.
The areas surrounding both fishponds were not managed by the year 1994. Even this has changed markedly. Since 1997, large areas of wet meadows around the Novozamecky fishpond, previously abandoned because of minimum profitableness, have been being mowed regularly. Consequently, character of waterbird habitats has been restored. Moreover, small pools were built in the meadows which have become favourite habitat for both birds and amphibians. The wetland of the Brehynsky fishpond, hosting critically endangered plant species, is also mowed regularly.
It can be concluded that the status of both fishponds has been largely improved since 1994. Fishpond management practices correspond to the demands of nature conservancy. Conservation management of the reserves is supported financially and there is no danger of a direct threat to the sites.

So it looks like all the updates and news for May are a total wash but
the good news is that we know that letting the domain expire was the

Issues -Steve
So, after all the tweaking and the lengthy late-night
"find-and-fix" sessions....I finally found out what was wrong
with the site and why a whole month worth of updates hasn't showed up:
I accidentally let one of my
domain names expire.
Anyone trying to hit the
site on that name was getting broken images and no updates. Everyone
else was just fine. SO, please make sure you update your bookmarks to www.hypothermia.us
or www.stevenlynch.net and
you'll be fine. I am in the process of fixing everything else as I get
the time but it is going to take a while. As of today (May 10th) I have

One of you guys have caused a lot of problems for the people
over at 360Voice and it just isn't cool at all. Artificially boosting my
rank in any online "popularity contest" is lame and only
reflects poorly on us as a whole. Making
matters worse, it is someone that lives up here .
Please, the guys at 360 Voice bust their asses for the community and
work really hard to make sure you have something cool that doesn't cost
you a penny. Trying to boost my profile to the top is totally unnecessary and
you should, at the very least, APOLOGIZE. Hopefully, my profile is
removed from their system completely to keep this from ever happening
again. To Trapper Markelz and Steve Sopp, I
can only say I am deeply sorry for the headache we have caused.

jackasses that want to prank you. It's relaxing...really. In my case, I
had a road trip to make anyway, I have to work while I am on the

Xbox 360 Elite is official. If I was buying a 360 today, it
would be the Elite. Since I have a few 360s already, that new 120GB hard
drive is what I have my eye on. I can't wait!
03.24.07 -Steve
I am in the process of lining up an interview with the folks at Massive,
the in-game ad people. If you've played Rainbow
Six: Vegas or Crackdown, you've seen their work.
As I said in my RB6: Vegas
review, we feel that in-game ads can be done right...and...if done so,
they will benefit gamers AND companies...but this is what (I feel) needs
to happen:
First of all, we like the idea of real world products used in games because we feel that it lends a bit of authenticity to a game that is striving for the look and feel of "real-world" environments. While this is a hot topic and some people may disagree, it just feels better to us to see a billboard for a real product instead the "place holder" feel of generic "made-up" products.
With that said, if you are going to use real world products for advertising in your game, two things need to happen. The first thing you should do is add more variety or don't bother. Having AXE shower gel ads in your game is fine but seeing them three thousand times per level is lame. So if you are going to do in-game product placement, make sure you don't leave out the variety, otherwise you'll end up with a game where the whole city of Las Vegas drives Dodge cars and trucks, uses AXE deodorant and Dell PCs.
Next, if you are going to use in game advertising to supplement your development budget, please pass the savings on to the consumer. We know the industry wide standard response to this criticism is "we are defraying development costs" but it just doesn't seem to ring true. Plenty of developers that are producing triple A titles offer the same price point for their game (and cheaper) without the luxury of the added revenue of in-game advertisements. These games provide an equally enjoyable experience, sometimes even more, for the same price as titles that are generating revenue through in game advertisements.
So, the message here is this: Most people actually like to see a real Coke or Pepsi machine in game versus a "soda" or "cola" machine. The majority of gamers we know like to shoot the crap out of a Corvette, Mustang or Viper versus dumping a clip into an imaginary vehicle like "Dominator 2000". All we'd like to see is a little more variety and maybe pass some of the savings on to the consumer.
Am I right?
Wrong? Whacked out of my melon?
03.22.07 -Steve
We did basic maintenance around here, cleaned up the index page, trimmed
it down...archived what needed to be archived and so on. Hopefully that
will help with loading issues some of you are having...at the very least
it will cut down on load times.
03.18.07 -Steve
For those of you that asked about the contests and giveaways, we might
start doing it again someday but, until I can do them right, I won't be
doing them. Maybe a collaboration or something would be good, who knows.
I'll keep you guys posted.
03.14.07 -Steve
There are still a few of you out there having problems with the page
updating correctly, I have it trimmed down to about 1% of my visitors
but it still happens and to you guys that are seeing this, I apologize.
I'll get it 100%....eventually.
03.11.07 -Steve
I've been messing with the PS3 leading up to my review and I have to say
that I totally dig on the hardware and the potential but I have a few
serious reservations about the system and the main one has to be the
price. The complete system review is coming soon.
03.06.07 -Steve
You guys have got to check out my Xbox 360 custom
chrome case review. If you have a Xbox 360 that is out of
warranty, I highly recommend this mod.
03.03.07 -Steve
is the new CRACK!!!!
Don't have it? GET IT!!! Do not mind the crappy commercials and trailers
for this game...they are not representative of actual game play. Trust
me on this one. Full review coming soon!
02.28.07 -Steve
Today is technically my anniversary. I know you are wondering what the
hell I mean by "technically"...well, don't get me
wrong, there isn't a day that goes by that I wouldn't marry my wife all
over again. I say "technically" because my wife and I
were married on February 29th (Leap
Year Day). I actually thought I
was being slick by having an anniversary that comes only once every 4
years but it backfired. Not only do we celebrate on the 28th, but we
celebrate on the 1st as well. Ouch!
02.25.07 -Steve
My article on complete custom Xbox 360 case replacement will be online
soon...I'll post a teaser picture soon!
02.22.07 -Steve
If you have never had the opportunity to see World Champion Gemma
Nguyen in action, you need to watch this. Matter o' fact, I
recommend that all of you search her name on YouTube and watch this
amazingly talented girl in action. How she is not totally famous by now
is beyond me.
02.20.07 -Steve
My Rainbow
Six: Vegas review is online, check it out....you'll be glad
you did.
02.18.07 -Steve
O.K. I have a rant / something I want to get off my chest. First of all,
most of you know...I'm 38 years old and I've been married for 18 years.
I have a lot of female friends (young,
old, big, little, famous, gamers),
each and every one is beautiful to me and I value their friendship. Some
of these ladies play games on Xbox Live with my son and I and we have a
complete blast but there are times...and this is the subject of my
rant...there are people on line that act so poorly towards women that I
am actually embarrassed to be a member of the male
I am absolutely astounded
how many times my friends and I can go online, look for a server to play
on and the minute we get there it turns into a free for all harassment
of the women online. It usually starts out with the "Hey
<insert female gamertag>, are you really a girl?"
comments. When the answer is positive, it quickly turns into requests
for the female player to join their team OR they bypass the formalities
altogether and just start in with the crude remarks. God forbid she is
BETTER than them because then it gets downright nasty.
Anyhow, if you are a guy and
you wonder why all the girls are playing with A.)
other girls B.) crusty old married guys C.) 12 year old boys...it's
probably because we aren't hitting on them, insulting them or pestering
them for private chat all night. Believe it or not, they might be
actually trying to play the GAME. And one more thing...before you let
the word "bitch", "ho" or "slut" fall out
of your mouth, try to remember that the person you are playing with is
somebody's daughter, sister, mother or wife. Imagine someone talking the
way you are to your mom. Not too funny now is it? Anyhow, that is my
02.16.07 -Steve
I am simultaneously working on my Rainbow Six: Vegas review and a
complete Xbox 360 case replacement article as we speak, the RB6: Vegas
should be up soon. As always, if you see either Hypothermia or HConsole gamertag
online playing, hit me up so we can play.
Day -Steve
Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget the chocolates & flowers! If you
are married....don't forget the jewelry & day spa (to
go with the aforementioned chocolates and flowers)!
02.13.07 -Steve
After seeing the pictures of my office I posted on the 15th of January (see
below) everyone keeps asking my
how big our projection screen is. The technical answer is 160"
diagonally from top left to bottom right. The easiest way it to give you
a size comparison:
02.10.07 -Steve
I have put a complete collection of professionally graded X-Men comics
online from the very
first issues in 1963 thru issue number #166 published in
1983. Over the last five years I have built a complete X-Men collection in the highest NM (CGC graded) condition I could find. My collection is finally done, which leaves me with an almost complete collection of CGC & PGX graded comics left over that I am selling on eBay.
02.05.07 -Steve
Head on over to [H] Console and read my review
of the Nintendo Wii.
02.01.07 -Steve
My chrome Xbox 360 Case came in today. The fine folks at Decal
Girl offer this case for under $50, so if your 360 is
already out of warranty, I highly recommend you grab this case as it
turns your 360 into a work of art! Beautiful, don't you think?
01.29.07 -Steve
My interview with the Xbox 360 HD-DVD development team is online. If you
ever wanted to know how much blood, sweat, and tears went into
making the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player, read my
interview at [H] Console and find out.
01.25.07 -Steve
Unlike most people, I am REQUIRED to buy all the major
game consoles because it is my job. Having said that, it doesn't lessen
the blow of paying $760 for a 60GB unit, 1 controller and 2 games. With
shipping, it was almost $810...and that is at retail prices. Ouch.
Resistance: Fall Of Man is pretty damn nice, but Call of Duty 3 doesn't
look as good as the Xbox 360 version. I am predicting a rough road for
the PS3 ahead unless they cut prices. Unfortunately, Sony is already losing
over $300 per console, so I doubt there will be a
significant price cut any time soon.
01.22.07 -Steve
Great news, I finally got a new Wii and Microsoft has agreed to replace
my console (see my post on 11-7-06
below)! There is a new team at MS
dedicated to handling cases like mine where the case has fallen through
the cracks or merits special consideration. Kudos to MS for making a bad
situation good again.
01.20.07 -Steve
As promised, pictures of the lovely snow we have up here...INSANE!
01.15.07 -Steve
I'm not sure why anyone actually cares what my office space actually
looks like, but I get about 50 requests a week to see it so I made a
small space that has a few pictures. I'll upload a movie eventually too.
Click the picture below for the link:
(I have just about
everything a gamer could want...killer PCs, 360's, PS3, Wii, Xbox, PSP,
DS Lite, PS2, GC, HD-DVD, HDTV, HD-Projector, 160" screen)
01.12.07 -Steve
My luck has made a turn for the better, I found a brand new Wii and all
it cost me was a new Xbox 360 core as a swap. Sweetness.
01.11.07 -Steve
Our review of the Xbox
360 Wireless Racing Wheel is online, head on over and see
what you think!
01.10.07 -Steve
I finally get through to a PR person to get a replacement Wii, the send
me a "loaner" and it arrives (via FedEx) crushed. Ha! How does
the old saying "if it wasn't for bad luck...". Yeah, that's
pretty much me at this point.
01.09.07 -Steve
Make sure you head over to [H] Console and read our BEST
OF 2006 AWARDS. Let me know what you think.
01.03.07 -Steve
Still no Wii and still no word on my Xbox 360 getting fixed...but I did
get something really cool for the new year....RECORD AMOUNTS OF SNOW!
I'll post pictures soon.
01.01.07 -Steve
It seems like only yesterday that it was 2006. Wait a minute...it was.
Never mind.
12.29.06 -Steve
Here's to a great new year! Maybe I can get a Wii to finish my review
and my Xbox 360 repaired!
12.27.06 -Steve
To everyone that asked why we didn't do any donation drives for
Christmas or Child's Play this year, the answer is simple (and sad); I
simply do not have the time to do them / run them properly any more like
I used to. Quite honestly, it would take someone dedicated solely to
that here to keep everything straight and I just don't have the time or
resources to do it. Maybe that will change in the future and if it does
I will let you know. In the mean time, I'll just make sure I have links
up for you guys to head over and donate during the holidays.
12.24.06 -Steve
For those of you that suggested I get an expedited return on my Wii,
here is the funny story behind why I didn't and why I still don't have a
new Wii:
My Nintendo PR rep,
after ignoring me for months, said she would have me a Wii by "the
end of the week". She sent me forms to fill out and FAX back to her
the same day. I returned my dead Wii to the store...thinking I had one
on the way. That was a month ago and still no Wii and you can't find one
in a store. Good thing she doesn't return phone calls and e-mail
Yes, I have no one but
myself to blame for believing her. Ugh.
12.22.06 -Steve
I have had some of the most unbelievably horrendous luck with consoles
lately. I had one of my Xbox 360s die on me, a brand new Wii go bad
during the first auto update and then the DVD drive on another 360 just
quit spinning. No luck on finding a PS3 at all...ugh. I hate consoles
some times.
12.20.06 -Steve
You know you are getting old when all you want for Christmas is peace
and quiet.
12.18.06 -Steve
As promised, here is the video of my car...start to finish...being
restored. Every nut, bolt, body panel, interior item, bumper glass, etc.
etc. has been replaced. The 350ci engine and the 12 bolt posi was
rebuilt, all the numbers match but a new 700R4 overdrive was installed,
electric fans and an all steel cowl induction hood were added along with
misc. updated items (Demon carb,
Unilite, RPM Air Gap intake, etc.)
12.17.06 -Steve
I took all the pictures from my four month restoration of a 1972 SS
Camaro and made a video slideshow, complete with goofy music, and
slapped it up on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. It is amazing the things
I have been through with this car (I've
owned it for the last 20 years)
and it was literally inches away from being sold so I could buy a 1963
Corvette when my wife talked me into restoring it. It is now such a part
of my family I don't think I could ever part with it. As soon as the
video is hosted and ready I'll post it here.
12.13.06 -Steve
Our review of the new Xbox
360 Video Marketplace is live at [H]Console. If you want
high definition TV shows and movies on your Xbox 360, make sure you give
this review a look.
12.10.06 -Steve
So what is with interview questions that always ask "who is your
hero?" I was recently asked that and the first thing that came to
my head is this:
If you are a parent, you are the hero...don't be afraid to wear the cape.
12.05.06 -Steve
So this month has been a bad one for consoles in my office. First, I get
the red-rings-o-death (see below) on one of my Xbox 360s. Ms took took
total care of me, and I'm back in action. That same week, I bought a
Nintendo Wii for review...it bricks on my when I do the mandatory
update. I get the dreaded error code 110213 and
the console reboots constantly. I am STILL waiting on a replacement. The
SAD part is, I have a Nintendo PR rep that is supposed to be "taking
care of me" with a loaner that is a complete no show after 4
12.03.06 -Steve
Make sure you give to Child's
Play Charity this year, whether it be cash donation or a toy
for a child stuck in the hospital during the holidays. The guys at Penny
Arcade are doing a great thing and we want them to know you are behind
them 110%.
Autographed By Asia Carrera -Steve
Want a PS3 for Christmas? How about a PS3 that comes straight from the
lovely Asia Carrera, complete with an autographed picture of her holding
the PS3 you just bought? Now that is a one of a kind PS3 that no one
else can claim they have. Head
on over and check out the auction, it goes to a good cause,
Asia's family.
11.28.06 -Steve
My Xbox
360 Wireless Headset review is live, definitely a must have
for 360 owners. On a sad note, my Xbox 360 came back to me today
unrepaired. I'm holding off on making a big deal out of this, I want to
see how this is going to be handled. I was basically told that not only
was my console not fixed, they will never fix it due to tampering. Other
than a faceplate, nothing has ever been done to this console and the
foil tape on the console is 100% still intact. No need to panic
just yet, this could just be a decision by some low level repair center
employee that can be easily remedied.....stay tuned.
11.26.06 -Steve
Two weeks and no news on my dead 360.
11.23.06 -Steve
The Xbox 360 that died on me the other day is still at the repair
center. This console has a pretty interesting history...when I got it
new, it was DOA. I sent it in for repairs and Microsoft LOST it for a
month and a half. When I got it back, it lasted a couple months and then
the red rings of death happened. It must be bad luck because my other
Xbox 360 has never had a single problem.
11.20.06 -Steve
Speaking of reviews, I have a posted a total of 45 console reviews so
far this year, hit the REVIEWS SECTION
and give them a read. I am extremely proud of the work I've done on each
and every review, please feel free to give me your feedback, good, bad
or otherwise...it is always welcomed.
Wireless Products -Steve
We have Microsoft's wireless headset and wireless steering wheel in the
test labs as we speak, really cool stuff, separate reviews (for each
product) coming soon. Stay tuned!
Wii -Steve
Getting your hands on a PS3 or the Wii ought to be interesting. It seems
that most people that got their hands on a PS3 only did so with the
intention of putting it on eBay. The funny part is, they aren't selling
for the astronomical amounts ($1000 and up) that people thought they
would. Now that is funny. Anyhow, even review sites are having a hard
time getting these highly sought after consoles. I'll have my Wii review
up fairly soon at [H] Console,
PS3 is still TBA.
11.14.06 -Steve
Every time I publish a new review, inevitably someone always asks me,
who does all your logos and artwork? The answer is "ME". All
my reviews are done by me, the writing, artwork, logos and screenshots.
So, for those of you wondering, there you have it!
Gears of War
Review -Steve
My review of Gears
Of War is online, if you haven't had the chance, you owe it
to yourself to check this one out. Overall, a very good game but there
were a few technical difficulties that need to be addressed for sure.
Head on over and tell me what you think.
11.09.06 -Steve
The good news is that Microsoft has extended the warranties of all
first-gen consoles, in a matter of 10 minutes I had an RMA number and
DHL will be here tomorrow to pick up my 360.
Red Ring O'
Death -Steve
One of the worst things that can ever happen to a console owner happened
today...one of my Xbox 360s started flashing the red ring of death. It
was rather comical, I was getting some game play footage for our review
of Gears of War and the 360 croaked when I turned it on. Pretty funny
(all things considered), here's the video:
11.06.06 -Steve
Star Wars II is a truly great family game. We just couldn't
put the game down when we reviewed it, plus those of us with kids now
have another game we can sit down and play with the whole
Gears Of War
Arrives -Steve
We'll have a full review of Gears Of War soon, our copy just came...it
should be at your local retailer next week. Reviewing games does have
it's perks!
11.02.06 -Steve
I've been extremely busy around here lately, well....more like the last
8 months have been insanely busy. Check out my review of the Xbox
Live Vision over at [H] Console, these are awesome little
devices and are extremely inexpensive.
10.30.06 -Steve
We have posted one of the most in-depth articles on Microsoft's Xbox
Live service ever written. If you want to know how the whole Xbox Live
system works, step inside the Xbox
Live Operation Center:

For all you Half Life 2 fans, our friends over at Valve posted this
awesome idea for a Halloween costume! Nothing like a case of the crabs
to kick things off this Halloween. Headcrabs that is:
10.28.06 -Steve
Damn it. This is what happens when you procrastinate about putting your
car away in storage for the winter....real smooth.
Xbox Live
Friends List -Steve
For all of you that have sent friends request, here's the scoop: My
Hypothermia Xbox Live account is full, I have 99 friends on
it...BUT...my HConsole Xbox 360 is only at 50 people right now so send
your friends requests to that Xbox 360 instead of the Hypothermia one so
I can add you. Coolio? Look on the lower left hand side of the
page for both profiles.
10.22.06 -Steve
If you don't have an Xbox Live Vision camera yet for your Xbox 360, make
sure you get one. My review will be posted early this week, make sure
you give it a read and then get yourself one.
10.20.06 -Steve
If you think I have lots to say, you should hear what my Xbox 360 has to
say...the damn thing is waaaay more vocal than I am...and, apparently, a
more popular than I am too!! If your Xbox 360 isn't blogging
yet, you are seriously missing out. All the cool kids are doing it.
10.16.06 -Steve
In 3 days everyone in my state gets this cool thing called the Alaska
PFD. While most states only tax the hell out of its
residents, our state has no sales tax, no state tax and the state
actually pays us to live here. Once a year, based on dividends our state
earns from oil revenue, each and every person gets anywhere from $600 -
$1,500. This year we all get $1,107 each, so a family of four would get
just over $4,400 for living in this state.
This is a blessing and a
curse. The blessing part is obvious...FREE MONEY!!! The curse part is
that it is quite possibly the worst time of the year to try to shop. If
you can get out the week before and make your major purchases...do it.
Once the payments hit, everybody hits the stores with a vengeance and
snap up every consumer electronics device know to man. I literally saw a
palette of Xbox 360s sold in less than 6 hours. Wow.
10.13.06 -Steve
It looks like weather is going to hold out long enough for me to get the
car out for at least more weekend before the snow hits the ground. The
worst part about winter is having to put my car away.
After discovering a serious glitch in Saints
Row during our review
process, our review is finally online and ready for your consumption. I
also added all our game / console reviews to the
review section. Scroll through them and let me know what you
I need to find a sponsor for two Dell 2007FP LCDs. I don't need the
widescreen model, just two of the regular 2007FP. These are going to be
used for the next Killer Gaming Rig so if you know of someone at Dell or
a company that has access to these, let me know. I can also do some
wheelin' and dealing - trading for two of these if need be. They are
fairly inexpensive (about $350
each online) so maybe someone
might want / need something I have and we can do some horse tradin'. A
nice PC for these two monitors maybe? Anyhow, I am open for suggestions,
let me know
Apparently there are a ton of you that liked the clips of me doing
burnouts / donuts in the [H] Camaro so I thought I'd do another one
before I put the car away for the winter. My son and I took a handful of
his other 6th grade friends out for a day of movies, video games and
cruisin', they seemed to like the burnout as well.
children were kept a safe distance from the vehicle and at no time did
they ride in the vehicle during these stunts. All driving was performed
on a closed course by a non-professional driver. Any similarities between
persons living or dead is purely coincidental. No
animals were used during the filming of this video. Please do not
attempt these stunts at home. Hypothermia accepts no responsibility for
the health and welfare of your tires. Smoking tires have been known to
lead to premature birth, low birth weight and irregular heartbeat. The
donuts you see here contain zero calories, no fat, zero grams of Trans
Fat and provide 100% of your RDA of adrenaline.
So I am starting my review of Saints
Row for the Xbox 360 when I realized that the in-game
character creation system can make for some pretty accurate...even a bit
spooky if you ask me. Here is my character compared to a picture of me.
Heh, pretty close, except he is skinnier and better looking:
You have got to be kidding, right? Pirated DVD
sniffing dogs? I would imagine just the smell of my
collection would send these dogs into a coma. We have close to 2,000
DVDs now, this picture here is from last year at about the 1,500-1,600
Movie Ever -Steve
Frankie Muniz's new movie, Stay
Alive, is quite possibly the greatest movie of all time. I
know you might be thinking "Gone with the Wind" or some other
movie but I am here to tell you right now, Stay
Alive is the greatest movie ever...and I'll tell you why: 50
minutes into the movie...check out the shirt this guy is wearing:
That's right, he's sporting
the [H] baby! Yes, we have stars like Elijah Wood, Kevin Spacey and Shaq
that are regular readers. Yes, we have plenty of famous people AND the
lovely Asia Carrera sporting our shirts all the time. But this is the
first time our shirts have ever been in a feature film and it is pretty
damn cool. Oddly enough, the suit of Samurai armor I bought for my wife
a few years ago was used as a prop in Agent Cody Banks II, another
Frankie Muniz movie.
YouTube Test
Video -Steve
This is just a test to see how well YouTube video works on the site, whether
or not it causes any problems etc. etc.
I did it, I figured it out! The problem behind the page refreshing was
code in the page used to track website traffic. The Google Analytics
tracking code was messing things up, I have it fixed now so everyone
should be seeing site updates as soon as they happen...or, for some of
you...a whole bunch all at once, but the problem is now remedied for
Today is Patriot
Day. It has been 5 years since the attacks of September 11th, 2001 but we have not forgotten the impact those attacks had on our country and our lives. Please, take a moment today to remember those who lost their lives on that day, their families and loved ones. Also, make sure that you give thanks to the men and women of the military, law enforcement and emergency services that are laying their lives on the line every day to make sure we are not attacked again. They are true patriots and this day is theirs.
On the fifth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, we recall the fire and horror at the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field. America will always remember the thousands of innocent lives taken by the enemies of freedom that morning. In the face of these unspeakable attacks, we were reminded that the great strength of America is found in the hearts and souls of our citizens. We witnessed firefighters, police officers, other public safety officials, and ordinary Americans demonstrate extraordinary courage, risking their lives to save innocent victims. We saw our country united in compassion as Americans came together to provide relief and bring hope to others.
I am upgrading the three editors systems here in the Hypothermia / [H]
offices. For the last 12 - 18 months we have been using all small form
factor systems and, although they are convenient, they are getting a bit
long in the tooth (AGP slots,
solder sockets, etc.). Thanks to
Kyle, ATi and the fine
folks at Corsair,
we have some awesome new machines going together that should keep us up
to date and our upgrade paths open for a long time.
Issues -Steve
I am still getting reports from readers of refresh issues, I am
literally at my wits end with this, some people don't see any updates
for a week and then get hit with a weeks worth all at once. I have one
more thing to try this weekend, we'll see if that fixes it or
I have another Killer Gaming Rig coming up soon, be ready for that. I am
gathering up a list of the greatest components known to man for another
super awesome KGR!
Holy cow, September is here already. Damn.
