Movie merchandise is big business. But some people will try and slap the name of The Avengers or Batman on anything...
Cool film stuff can be almost as fun as actually going to the movies. Think of a Batman cape, an Arnold Schwarzenegger action figure, or Goldeneye on the N64. Hell, the merchandising can often be more enjoyable than the actual film – remember how much fun the first few months of 1999 were before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was actually released?
Yet, in the chase to make a quick buck out of devoted fans, some... let's just say less relevant, movie merchandise is churned out and flogged to the public.
Here then are 50 of the strangest (not ranked in order!) – expect action figures of obscure henchmen, 16-carat gold Twilight jewellery and some truly vomit-inducing burgers…

For popular French actor, renowned primarily for his role in Heartbreaker, is now revisiting a different character for the third time, in Chinese Puzzle, the third in a trilogy of films by Cédric Klapisch's, also including L'Auberge Espagnole and Russian Dolls.
The actor tells us what it was like revisiting a role, and how close he feels to the character of Xavier Rousseau in real life. Meanwhile he also discusses his role in Michael Gondry's upcoming romantic flick Mood Indigo, which hits our cinemas this August.
Chinese Puzzle is released on June 20th, and you can read our review here.

So often we see a Hollywood film begin with a swooping, aerial shot of a glorious Manhattan, with the Empire State Building gracefully standing tall, while the Statue of Liberty looks out knowingly into the distance. However when our protagonist Xavier arrives in New York, in Cédric Klapisch's Chinese Puzzle, it's a grey, miserable day, and the peak of the aforementioned skyscraper is hidden by clouds. This lone image sets the precedence for the rest of this title, as an authentic, foreigner's take on New York, as not always being the romanticised, cinematic setting we're often led to believe it is.
As the third – and seemingly final – chapter in the life of Xavier, played Romain Duris, following on from the actor's previous collaborations with the filmmaker, L'Auberge Espagnole and Russian Dolls, the author is now going through something of a crisis, when his partner »

Romance on the run: Audrey Tautou and Romain Duris in Chinese Puzzle
He first went to study film in New York when he was 23. French director Cédric Klapisch, now 53, returned to the city for Chinese Puzzle, the third part of the comedy trilogy that started with Pot Luck (L'Auberge Espagnole) in Barcelona in 2002 and continued three years after in St Petersburg and London for Russian Dolls (Les Poupées Russes), all featuring the same characters falling in and out of love. Now Xavier, economics student turned writer and played by Romain Duris, heads for the Big Apple to be near his children who live with his ex Wendy, portrayed by Kelly Reilly. Former girlfriend Martine (Audrey Tautou) turns up – and there's also Cecile de France from the original as Xavier's lesbian friend Isabelle. How did Klapisch sustain the momentum of the characters and what does it feel like to grow old with them? »

Capturing basic human interactions on film isn't as easy as you'd think. Too often screenwriters and directors retreat into cliched dialogue and stock characters to the point where the people on screen feel as artificial as any rampaging CG monster. Cédric Klapisch's Chinese Puzzle is different though, effortlessly serving up a blizzard of well observed moments, shifting relationships and fragments of honest emotion. This is that annoyingly rare thing: a film that really understands the complexities – the soaring joys and the crushing miseries – of modern love.
Our hero is Xavier Rousseau (Romain Duris), a 40 year old writer navigating some pretty choppy relationship waters. Framed through a Skype conversation with his publisher, we track his friendships and romances with three women; businesswoman and old flame Martine (Audrey Tautou), his lesbian best friend Isabelle (Cecile de France), and Wendy (Kelly Reilly), his estranged ex-wife and mother of his two children. »

Tuft of Fluff: Klapisch Bids Adieu to Globetrotting Crew
Diehard fans of Cedric Klapisch's L'Auberge espagnole (2002) and its sequel, Russian Dolls (2005) should be happy to see the director round out his Romain Duris headlining films into an actual trilogy with Chinese Puzzle. Though it potentially stands as a piece on its own, audiences may feel a bit lukewarm toward this outing without having experienced the meandering yet considerable baggage the quartet of main characters have carried through two other films. Coasting mostly on the affable charm of its stars and likeable characters, this final chapter manages to walk a fine line between hopeful and melancholy as we at last leave them all behind. However, the most potent aspect of the film is perhaps the nostalgia one might feel as they're forced to recollect the wonderful, scrappy charm of that first entry from over a decade ago.
Now nearing or entering their 40s, »

Chicago – Life is chaos. We in the human race can all agree on that. The new film "Chinese Puzzle" allows that chaos to happen, and the results are funny, affecting and warm. Writer/director Cédric Klapisch completes his "Spanish apartment trilogy," bringing back the characters from "L'Auberge Espagnole" and "Russian Dolls," to place them squarely in middle age.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The beauty of the film is that it works as a separate element, there is no need to have prior knowledge of the other films – although it probably the enhances the enjoyment. Cédric Klapisch creates lives that are challenged by turning age 40 (gasp!), an odd transition point when dealing with kids, divorce and multiple locations. The story is fresh, highly comic and propels itself due to the result of the organic decisions by the characters. There are also some parallel circumstances regarding fatherhood that are neatly applied, and a twist »

Here's a rundown of the specialty box office this weekend, which saw Cédric Klapisch's "Chinese Puzzle" find a promising debut, James Gray's much more anticipated "The Immigrant" fail to make much of an impression, and "Chef," "Ida," "Belle" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" all hold on nicely later in their runs. The Debuts: Debut Winner of the Weekend: "Chinese Puzzle." While James Gray's "The Immigrant" had a higher per-theater-average, it had a lot of star power and the backing of The Weinstein Company. Which is why the fact that "Chinese Puzzle" just narrowly lost the PTA crown to it this weekend is so impressive. Released by Cohen Media Group, Cédric Klapisch's film follows a 40-year-old French father of two (Roman Duris) who heads to New York when the his wife leaves him and takes the children there. It comes after 2002's "L'Auberge Espagnole" and 2005's "Russian Dolls »

I don't know to what degree Cedric Klapisch thinks of himself as a topical filmmaker. His generally lighthearted movies tend to deal with unlikely attractions and living arrangement shenanigans, but he seems to capture something about our social moment no matter what he does. Chinese Puzzle is the third entry in his films about the romantic push-pull among the small group of friends who shared a Barcelona home in L'Auberge Espagnole. (Russian Dolls, set partly in St. Petersburg and Moscow, was the second entry.) The nominal hero of this rom-com mini-franchise, Xavier (Romain Duris), started off as a straight-arrow econ student with little knowledge of life, but has since become a jaded writer and family man. As Chinese Puzzle starts, he's been married to Wendy (Kelly Reilly) for ten years. Now, however, Kelly is moving out and taking their children with her to New York. Xavier follows »

Cédric Klapisch's "L'Auberge Espagnole" and "Russian Dolls" weren't really begging for a third and final entry in the global adventures of Xavier (Romain Duris), but it doesn't make "Chinese Puzzle" any less enjoyable. What's impressive is that despite the sometimes heavy subject matter—divorce, creative crisis and trying to find an affordable 2Br in New York City—Klapisch's film is light and fizzy, set to a soundtrack of funk and salsa. We'll claim that we laughed throughout the film, but we were probably heard full-on giggling with delight. The trilogy of films follows Xavier as he changes from college student to full-fledged adult to a father. "Russian Dolls" left Xavier paired with Wendy (Kelly Reilly), but "Chinese Puzzle" wastes no time in breaking them up after a decade together with two children. Now 40 years old, Xavier wants to help his lesbian friend Isabelle »

Three movies in and Xavier is still trying to get his life together. Romain Duris returns as the globe-trotting, follow-his-bliss French novelist in "Chinese Puzzle," Cédric Klapisch's third film in a series that began in Spain with the comedy "L'Auberge Espagnole" in 2002. This time — following an outing to St. Petersburg in "Russian Dolls" — Xavier finds himself in New York, pursuing a life with the children that his ex, played by Kelly Reilly, took to the Big Apple. He's got to start over once again, and finds that life in New York is less like an Alicia Keys anthem than a. »

Director Cedric Klapisch was in New York this week for the premiere of his new film Chinese Puzzle. The movie is a sequel to previous efforts L'Auberge Espagnole and Russian Dolls — starring Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou — which follow a group of international students from their 20s through their 40s (think a fictional, Gallic 7 Up series). The trilogy has achieved quite the cult following in France, or so Klapisch colorfully explained to us."People stop me and very often they say, 'I wanted to study abroad because of you.' So the movie has had a really strong effect on people's lives. Very often young people will have seen the movie ten times, twenty times, and they know the scenes by heart. It's really impressive. When we were doing the promotion, Romain and I, we ended up in a bar in Bordeaux after a screening and two young »

"It's funny that you find life so complicated." Today's indie trailer is for a film called Chinese Puzzle, or Casse-tête chinois in French, another third film in a charming romantic comedy trilogy about a couple and their lives over the years. The film features the same cast/characters from Cédric Klapisch's Russian Dolls and The Spanish Apartment, including Romain Duris as Xavier Rousseau, along with Audrey Tautou, Kelly Reilly, Toshiko Onizawa, Cécile de France and Sandrine Holt. While it is a French film, they do speak English and it takes place mostly in New York City, and doesn't look that bad at all. I'll check it out. Watch the official trailer for Cédric Klapisch's Chinese Puzzle, found via YouTube: A 40-year-old father of two, still finds life very complicated.

Paris – "Cedric Klapisch is a great director and has a real writing talent for original stories and extraordinary ability to tap into the vibes, the contemporary trends of a society," said Olivier Courson, chairman-ceo of Studiocanal that has co-produced Klapisch's last four movies with Bruno Levy. Still playing French cinemas, where it has grossed $13,4 million and counting, "Chinese Puzzle," the third part of a franchise begun with "L'Auberge espagnole" and "Russian Dolls" will be talked up at this weekend's Unifrance Rendez-vous by Audrey Tautou and Klapisch himself. "Chinese Puzzle" follows Xavier (Romain Duris, older, a touch wiser), to New York where Wendy (Kelly Reilly) has taken their two children to live with her new American flame. Initially kipping on the couch of Isabelle (Cecile de France), his passion for Martine (Audrey Tautou) rekindles when she swings by New York with two children of her own. Variety caught »

Petraeus Says Terror Link Dropped from Memo on Libya Attack
bc-libya 11-16 632
(bbg) (ATTN: National, Foreign editors)
//Petraeus Says Terror Link Dropped from Memo on Libya Attack (Washn)//
By David Lerman and Laura Litvan
(c) 2012, Bloomberg News.
WASHINGTON — Former CIA director David Petraeus said Friday that a reference to possible al-Qaida connections was dropped from "talking points" used by the Obama administration in its initial accounts of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, according to a Republican lawmaker.
"It's still not clear how the talking points emerged," Rep. Peter King of New York, a member of the House intelligence committee, said Friday after a closed-door briefing for the panel by Petraeus. "No one knows yet exactly who came up with the final version of the talking points."
The possibility that references to potential terrorist links were taken out of the account may further fuel Republican criticism of President Barack Obama's administration for its early description of the attack as developing from a spontaneous demonstration. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the assault.
While Petraeus told the House panel Friday that he didn't know how the reference to al-Qaida connections was dropped from the talking points, the former CIA chief said the memo went "through a long process" with other federal agencies involved, according to King.
Democrats challenged King's account after Petraeus met in consecutive briefings for the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said "the intelligence community had all signed off on" the talking points. He said the version used in public may have been "at variance" with one that contained classified information.
Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., also said "they went from a classified version to an unclassified version, and that's why it was changed."
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice depended on the intelligence community's talking points when she said on Sunday talk shows Sept. 16 that the assault developed from a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Islamic video that was "hijacked" by militants, according to the administration.
Shawn Turner, a spokesman for Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, said Sept. 28 that the intelligence community had revised that assessment.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who heads the intelligence committee, said after a closed session Thursday that the panel saw a "composite" film that showed the Libya attack taking place "in real time." House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., said Friday that Clapper was working to declassify the film, which McKeon called a "45-minute recap" of the attack, to make it public.
Petraeus resigned as CIA director Nov. 9 after an inquiry by the FBI disclosed he had an extramarital affair. Petraeus told the House committee Friday that his resignation was an honorable response after his "dishonorable" behavior, according to Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla.
Feinstein said the Senate panel didn't press Petraeus to discuss his affair because "we wanted to spare him that."
Dozens of reporters and photographers who gathered for the Petraeus briefings never saw him. They were kept at a distance from the House and Senate meeting rooms by Capitol Police officers, and the retired general came and went through back entrances.
Debate over Rice's account of the Benghazi attack have produced a political storm over the prospect that Obama may nominate her to replace the departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, has said he is "adamantly opposed and will do everything I can to keep her from getting confirmed." Republican colleague Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has made the same vow.
Obama rebuked McCain and Graham during a press conference during a press conference on Nov. 14, saying Rice has done "exemplary work" and that "to besmirch her reputation is outrageous."
Feinstein said Friday that Rice's Republican critics are trying to "assassinate" a possible nominee. "We take issue at that," she said.

What Don't You Move?
When we begin packing for a move, we tend to address our most important items first. By the time we work through the rest, there invariably remain the misfits we can't see the point in moving...
We're trying to think of the items that we tend to whittle down to. It's tough to put a finger on it, it's always such a motley grouping. It might include excess unused office supplies, unwanted gifts kept out of sight and out of mind 'til this day of reckoning, odd unused dishware, wrapping paper, or partly used but still very usable pantry items or cleaning supplies.
We generally end up giving some of the items away to friends and donating what we can. The rest, after much deliberation, often ends up being thrown away. We feel wasteful but don't want to move unwanted items to a new home.
Do you end up with misfit items you just don't have the heart to move? What do you do with them? Please tell in the comments below.

A giant can of pineapple juice.
When we moved from 24th St. in SF a couple of months ago, we would just set out unwanted items on the street on a day-by-day basis. It didn't take long for people to take them. Old vases, mismatched coffee mugs, sweater organizers, out-of-style clothes of tiny of pre-happy-marriage dimensions. Television from circa 1994. Etc. One man's junk is another's treasure...
It was great fun peeking out the window to see who was taking what.
I have donated copious amounts of items to salvation army, etc. The tax write off has been embarrassingly impressive...
Food, I donate to friends with big families.
I haven't bought most bathroom type items for a few years in an attempt to use all the lotions, soaps, etc that I've gotten as gifts or collected.
I tried a garage sale, which was effective, but scheduled the salvation army run right after.
And after going through all that after my last move, I just keep purging monthly now...my tastes are clearly a bit more minimal now after moving a few times...
check it out, I am a big fan!
"One man's trash is another man's treasure"
I'm packing now for a move and also use the "put it on the street method". I've already set out leaky snow boots (with a note), books, and lamps. In the next week I'll be putting out furniture I won't need in my new place (and that isn't worth craigslisting). Things are always gone within 30 minutes.
recently moved from nyc to philadelphia. I left almost my entire kitchen (two of three chrome beehive blenders, treasured martini glasses and an old-school movie theater style popcorn popper). All left behind in my old condo's recycling room for the vultures.
And a lot of impulsive eBay "treasures".
The biggest one for me is clothing. Moving is a great time to purge all those old clothes that I know I'm never going to wear again. Throw them all in plastic bags and drop them off at a donation center!
Crap Swap them!!
A group of girls I know does a Crap Swap monthly! You bring all the stuff you don't want or can't use, and swap it for stuff you do want, or can use!
See the blog...
I have this stupid black ceramic coffee canister with the word "GEVALIA" in giant gold letters across the front. The thing is huge and horribly ugly, but it has managed to move with me 3 times now. I always shove it in the back of a pantry and forget about it until I'm packing up the pantry again on the day of the move (always behind...). And by then I'm too annoyed to do anything but throw it in the box. I always say that I'm going to deal with it at the new place, but that never happens.
I'm now inspired to go home and get rid of it tonight! Salvation Army, look out.
Baby stuff! You can always get it again at garage sales in the new place.
a friend and I *each* recently wound up with our very own 1 gallon jugs of vegetable oil, left behind by a friend of a friend's old roommate. good thing we were planning for a bake sale!
Paper. I never move loose papers if I can help it. I sort of look through them, and whatever I can't find a folder for goes right in the trash.
And plenty of clothes don't make the move. I force myself to decide what I really want and only that moves with me.
we're packing up for our move from san francisco to portland and have been ridding ourselves of excess. my philosophy is the less we have to move the better we will be. our budget is small so I first raided my closet and pulled out pieces I no longer wear and took it to my neighborhood crossroads. whatever didn't sell we left at a clothing dropbox. why waste. then I went for the shelves and pulled out books that we could be rid of, took them over to our used book store, green apple. whatever we couldn't sell I donated them to the library. and everything we deem as something we won't need to take w/ us we've posted on craigslist to sell or put it out to the curb to sell. all in everyone benefits.
I've left several behind...
well, the original post hit our big pitch piles. moving is a great time to clean out the pantry and finally get rid of those unwanted gifts.
we also purge our closets of old clothing. most of the stuff gets donated. the really bad stuff gets pitched.
but generally, becuase we live in a very small space, we don't acumulate too much junk... so moving time isn't that bad for us.
litter box. I toss it a buy a new one.
I didn't move my toilet brush ... started out with a new one in the new place!
: )
On the other hand, it was amazing to see what folks left behind when my old building emptied out (everyone had to move). I grabbed a lot of stuff: a small table, bookshelf, and lamp; a perfectly working blender.
@bepsf: Hell yeah. Leaving one behind also means leaving behind the crap I hated that he loved. The last one had an alarming assortment of taxidermied fish. Sigh. Thank dog I never have to look at those again.
Always leave behind spices - they're usually old by the time I move. Also I ditch the assortment of empty jars and mismatched plastic containers that I usually save for possible storage. Those usually go to the recycling.
Clothes that I can't quite bring myself to get rid of, but have been too lazy to eBay.
And my grandmother warned not to move a broom. Something about sweeping bad luck from the old place into new. She lived to 94 so I don't move brooms.
I leave a box in my apartment lobby labeled "free!!!".
I give my friends a heads up before but the box usually does the trick.
It's normally clothes and extra shoes I don't want to move - I use it as a great time to realize what I don't need and donate barely worn clothing. But it has come down to just knick knacks and stuff I know I don't want that were just gifts - that's about the right time to get rid of. You can always say they got lost in the move.
I have an odd assortment of knick-knacks that somehow makes its way into the last box. They include all the things I keep on my dresser bookshelf, usually odds and ends, some random gadgets, hair/beauty supplies, and little decorative objects like my taxidermied piranhas, army men, and designer piggy bank.
I also have an entire dresser drawer's worth of instruction manuals, extra printer paper, and a number of other things I wish I could remember, they're all in storage awaiting my move to my new apartment. My other two dresser drawers are occupied by fabric and sewing supplies, and shoes. My clothes I keep in a suitcase when not in use, my clothes I use are in my closet.

The AT-3 can reproduce a wide variety of musical idioms with 54 built-in Oriental tones, including the oud, qanun, nay and more. A total of 83 built-in Oriental accompaniment rhythms covers everything from traditional to modern music. High-quality sound supports both Oriental music performance and composing.The tuning of the built-in sound source can be easily changed by a quarter tone to recreate the scale required for Oriental music. The Oriental scale can be used for both composing and live performances. The final scale setting can also be applied to Auto Accompaniments as well.The AT-3 also features sequencer and mixer functions for total musical creation support. The song sequencer provides 16 tracks plus one system track that supports recording of up to five songs and a total of approximately 30,000 notes. Each individual musical instrument part can be recorded to a different track for real multi-track recording capabilities. In addition to real-time recording of keyboard and Auto Accompaniment play, the Song Sequencer also supports punch-in and punch-out spot recording of specific parts of a song, and event editing lets you edit recorded data note-by-note. A full selection of editing tools includes event insert, event delete, event copy, quantize, a locator feature for selecting the range of notes to be edited, and more. A step recording function also lets you input notes by specifying the length and pitch.

In addition to recording over each individual accompaniment part of an existing rhythm, an event editing function gives you total control over each aspect of recorded data, an Easy Edit function lets you combine accompaniment from multiple built-in rhythms to create original rhythms, and mixer capabilities give you control over the tones, volume levels, reverb, and other parameters of each part. A full selection of editing tools includes event insert, event delete, event copy, quantize, and more. Memory is provided for storage of up to 100 different user rhythms, which can be recalled with the touch of a key.Keyboard play, auto-accompaniment, song sequencer play, and sound input via the INST IN and/or MIC IN terminals can be recorded as digital audio data to an SD memory card inserted in the card slot for later playback. Of course, you can play along on the keyboard during playback from an SD memory card. Saved audio files can also be transferred to a computer connected via USB for long-term storage. Special Data Manager 6.0 application software, downloadable from the URL shown below, can be used to convert data to WAV format, which can be played back on a computer. All of this greatly simplifies the task of creating original demo recordings.

DUPE chats to Video Artist Ben Bickford about Channel 4, Rituals and Youtube
We would visually describe your work as Contemporary Hippy, and Psychedelic, and then we hear the soundtrack for some of them. Rap.
Is it an intentional contrast? Psychedelic visuals with rap sound?
The two videos I have made with a "rap" soundtrack were made mainly to expose unsuspecting people (aside from a safety warning) to my form of Stroboscopic Video Art and to give some purpose to a few of my failed experiments. It is an intentional contrast but Rap has its psychadelic side and a lot of it is about expansion of consciousness in one form or another, I listen to all sorts of music and yeah I do really enjoy a lot of rap/hiphop/trap whatever you want to call it. I think those videos actually came about from spending many nights with my girlfriend experimenting with psychoactive substances, performing rituals, trawling youtube to find new music to enhance these experiences yet she'd always complain about all the music that had no visual and that we were just sat looking at an album cover or something, so I thought I'd make a couple myself.
Artwork can be inspired by the place where you grow up. Your hometown is Hastings. Do you think the town has influenced your artwork?
I lived in Hastings from 1986 to 2006 when I moved to London. There is an exercise I learnt from Robert Anton Wilson (RIP Eris be with you Bob) who learnt it from Aleister Crowley who learnt it from a Buddhist monk in Selong. It's a simulation of enlightenment where you sit down and think of all the reasons, decisions, encounters and chance that brought you to sit down and attempt said exercise. "So I'm sitting here doing this exercise because I read a book by Robert Anton Wilson, Why was I reading that book? Because my friend J told me I should, How did J come to suggest this to me?… and so on. It really doesn't take long before you end up with reasons such as "I'm sitting here doing this exercise because Emperor Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus began the conquest of Britain in AD43 eventually coming to Hastings forcing settlers to take refuge in the natural valley between the East and West hills …..I'm doing this exercise because planet Earth is the only planet in our solar system with the capability to support life….." so it becomes clear that an infinite amount of coincidences, synchronicities, and accidents throughout not just your own history but the history of the Universe has brought you to the point where you are sitting down doing this exercise. So I think the town has undoubtedly influenced me as a person and as an artist.
How important is the music to the video art? Half of your videos are silent. How do you choose which ones have sound?
Some of my videos have soundtracks and they use binaural beats, which is the name given to a method of using two different frequencies in different channels to coax the brain to a frequency that is perhaps so low that humans wouldn't normally be able to hear those frequencies and experience the power of them. These serve to reinforce the psychic healing and dissociative powers of the Stroboscopic Visuals, unfortunately this only really works when listened to through headphones. So if you want to attempt to fully experience the power of Brainwave Entrainment then the sound listened to through headphones is imperative.
Some have been intentionally left silent to make them more accessible to users who perhaps have no idea about stroboscopic visuals or binaural beats or psychic healing tools and want to kick back and relax to some of their favourite music with their chosen consciousness expanding substance and watch some hypnotic visuals.

Here at DUPE we follow you on Instagram and notice that you post a lot of Asian images. Are these images your online sketchbook? What are your main inspirations?
An online sketchbook of sorts is a good way of explaining what that is about, I don't really know myself. For several years now I have curated an image blog (doommantra.tumblr.com) and a lot of what is on my IG (@doommantra) is my favourite posts from the Tumblr. I try to take inspiration from everything that surrounds me/I surround myself with, Eastern art and thought has for many years been of great interest to me, I guess I first got into it through tattoos and spending a lot of time in tattoo studios with Mahakala masks from Tibet, Japanese woodblock prints and shrines to Ganesh adorning the walls, I found them great tools to meditate on while forcing myself to endure several hours of pain. So I started to look into where this imagery came from, what it represented, what it meant. I'm interested and inspired by what some of the oldest known schools of thoughts have to say about existence, life, death, the creation of the universe… what is the best way to live….what is reality and how do we best experience it? The mysticism that spawns from these ideas and the lives of those who practice the mental and physical exercises of the various sects, magical orders and cults of eastern and some western civilisations/societies.
What are your tools of the trade?
Gan-Zi-Gu-Nu, MacBook Pro, Canon Powershot, Arizer V-Tower, W Grey Walter The Living Brain, Some ancient Sony Hi8 Camcorder, Iphone5, κάνναβις
DreamMachine, Soma, The Tibetan Book of The Dead, (RS)-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone.
Describe the creative process in creating one of your Video works.
It involves a fair amount of swearing, sitting in the dark, looking at percentages increase on timers, smoking and despair.
Your video works have appeared on Channel 4. What are you working on next?
Yeah that was great, really grateful that Lightning&Kinglyface asked me to contribute to their short film they aired on Channel 4 last year.
Recently I have been working on a collaborative project with an amazing artist who you can find on IG as @jonascrookedmoon or soundcloud as https://soundcloud.com/kryptarituals who makes some of the best lo fi drone music I've heard. I've been supplying him with visuals for live performances and stroboscopic psychic healing videos tailor made to fit his sounds. Something new will be out for that soon but in the meantime you can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czCGya244Cc the video I made for the track dödsdrone.
Have you always made videos? Or has it been a gradual progression.
I started making videos in 2005 on my foundation course in Hastings with a good friend and early frequent collaborator who unfortunately doesn't make art anymore. I stopped for a while to become some performance artist that practiced hypnotism and magical rituals but I didn't enjoy that and I still make other things now and then. Otherwise I've been making them on and off for almost 10 years and I honestly still don't know what I'm doing, I don't use editing suites properly I just make them work for me. Many hours are still spent trying to learn how to do something I can see in my mind but have no idea in how to do that or how to even phrase it so that Google can find me the answer, so it is a very slow and constant gradual process for me but I like the idea of approaching this technology as a novice, I don't really want to perfect my understanding/use of technology.
If you could collaborate with another artist who would it be and why?
John Whitney (1917-1995) he did the title sequence for Hitchcock's Vertigo, invented computers for animating and was considered a father of computer animation in general. After many failed attempts at attainting an out of body experience it finally happened whilst watching one of his videos and practicing a consciousness expanding ritual. I couldn't get enough of his animations and watched Matrix III several times a week for a month or so.

Our current issue is 'The Dark Issue.' What are your darkest thoughts?
To live is to suffer, there is no meaning to gain through suffering.
Why survive?
www.doommantra.com (coming soon)
Precise, descriptive, dry, humorous
. Pen vs Digital. What side are you on?
I'd go with pen, but I don't mind digital unless it starts to look soulless.
I use photoshop a lot to clean up my drawings and add colour but I never solely rely on a program. It's great that the internet makes sharing work so easy, but I really hope print doesn't get phased out too.
. If you weren't an illustrator, what would be doing instead?
. Emo's or Goth's?
Definitely goths. I'll always have a soft spot for them, and I guess I'm borderline. I'm in talks with the organisers of AltFest about doing a reportage project there in August. That'd be a dream job.
Small press section now OPEN at LOIS!
DUPE are pleased to let you know that the Road Trip Issue is now stocked in Lois, a lovely new shop recently opened on Choumert Road, Peckham. Go check it out (perfect for Christmas shopping too!)
DUPE was delighted to take part in the first Hush House Supermaket, hosted by the Bussey Building in Peckham on Saturday 24th August.
Both floors of the Bussey were jam packed with stalls selling fashion, prints, hand made objects, photography, food and more. We enjoyed going to two of the free talks held by Clever Boxer about setting up a creative business - very useful advice!
It was really busy all day and we had a great time talking to lots of interesting people and spreading the DUPE word. We especially enjoyed hearing what people thought of the zine and getting words of encouragement.
Thank you Hush House crew and the Bussey!

Quality of living or places to get some sleep!
Posted Under: Uncategorised
So this year's Mercer list of top 50 cities to live was released this week with the media seemingly quick to pounce on the poor showing by UK cities.
According to the 2010 list, only London makes the grade and that at a rather lowly 39th. Yes that is correct – apparently there are 38 more desirable cities in the world to live than London. So ladies and gentlemen, the home of the Queen, thousands upon thousands of bars and restaurants , West End shows and theatres and many of the world's premier sporting events is a less desirable option than Ottawa, Luxembourg and Canberra!
A look at the top of the list features some European heavyweights of the business commuter belt including Zurich, Geneva and Frankfurt so perhaps Radisson hotels and frequent flyer miles were the deciding factors in the voting system?
Message to our new coalition government – London needs more conference centres!

Confirming rumors that have been floating for months, it was announced this morning that HD1, chef Richard Blais' Poncey-Highland hot dog restaurant, will be converted to become the fourth FLIP burger boutique.
Of course, Blais is also the founding chef of the FLIP concept.
HD1 will close after dinner service on Sunday and the conversion is expected to take eight to ten weeks, according to co-owner Barry Mills.
A rooftop patio, originally planned for HD1, will part of the construction.
"We are fully committed to growing the FLIP brand and expanding our strong reputation for innovative food in a high energy and fun environment. Moving forward, FLIP burger boutique will be our primary focus," Mills said in the press release.
Fans of HD1 may be pleased to find that hot dogs will be on the menu, along with FLIP burgers and sides.
"It's an exciting period of growth for FLIP and the demand for gourmet burgers is at an all time high," Blais said in the press release. "At the Poncey-Highland location we will infuse our signature burgers, shakes and sides to the menu while paying homage to the best-of-the-best in HD1 hot dogs."
Check the current FLIP menu here: www.flipburgerboutique.com

This is great. I'm gonna ride my jetbike there twice a week and sit on the rooftop patio wearing my Captain America costume and telling fart jokes well into the evening.
I'm sure I'll stay until they close.
I hope the people living in the nearby homes are not bothered by all the laughter emanating from the rooftop patio as a result of my hilarious jokes.
Does anyone know if this location will allow cats? I know the one on Howell Mill, for whatever reason, does not.

Janice Langbehn, an out lesbian, is one of 13 citizens to be honored with the 2011 Presidential Citizens Medal, the nation's second-highest civilian honor. While on vacation in 2007, Langbehn's partner, Lisa Pond, suddenly fell ill. Langbehn was refused access to her partner, who later died alone. With the help of Lambda Legal and GLAAD she filed a federal lawsuit and worked tirelessly to ensure no one else would have to suffer through the same ordeal. President Obama apologized to Langbehn for the way she and her family had been treated and issued a memo mandating hospital visitation rights for same-sex partners. Langbehn will receive the honor at the White House on October 20.

MERRILL, WI (WSAU) - A Merrill man was caught hunting after dark Friday evening, which led to several charges.
26-year-old Dustin Carl Elsholtz was caught bow hunting after dark when a DNR warden saw a truck parked on Timber Lane near Merrill and investigated, finding Elsholtz. Along with illegal hunting, Elsholtz admitted driving to that location on a revoked driver's license. A Lincoln County Deputy cited him for a fifth offense of operating a motor vehicle while revoked.
Elsholtz was also charged with a felony count of bail jumping for violating terms of a Shawano County bond where he is charged with burglary. He was kept in jail on a probation hold.

The hunter is now the hunted: With $5 million from Google, the World Wildlife Fund is deploying unarmed drones to track down wildlife poachers.
What the fuck, this is wrong on so many levels. Drones? To stop poachers? How will it distinct a hiker from hunter in the woods? Or a hiker with a pistol to protect himself from a rogue animal such as a bear or a Coyote etc etc? This is the worst, I hope this doesn't pass. Drones in our country to spy on citizens is the worst crime, screw crimes againts animals. It's about liberties. Drones shouldn't be here spying on anyone.
There are better ways to stop poachers, drones are not.

How we celebrate. (part 1)
I've yet to read a greeting card that sounds better that what my husband can scrawl in his messy handwriting on a piece of paper. Not a single one I've come across speaks to us and what we know to be true and how it feels to be married to one another.
For that reason, we have a rule when it comes to celebrations of love in our home. All cards for the occasion will be handmade - even if it's just written on the back of our electric bill. We've been making our valentine's day cards to one another for years and since we've been married, our anniversary cards fall into this category too. The art of the hand-written love letter seems to be dying out in our technology age and so it's our small way of trying to keep it alive.
We woke up yesterday to a cool, rainy day and since I took the day off, we stayed in bed and let Everly bounce back and forth between us in bed for a long time. Then we got up, had our morning coffee/tea/bottle and set to work writing our love letters.
Everly and I danced around the living room to Nat King Cole while we waited for Brent to finish his in the other room.
We're saving all of them in a box as a tangible part of our history together. Brent and I have decided to make our wedding anniversary an official family holiday. We've promised that we will always take the day off from work/school to do something fun together with our children. We feel it's really important to instill in our family that being married takes hard work and commitment but it's also something the should be celebrated. We hope our children learn to look forward to September 29th each year in the same way they might anticipate a birthday or vacation.
First stop for us yesterday was Grandaddy's Antique Mall in Burlington. It's right off Hwy 40 about 45 minutes from our front door and features over 2 indoor acres of antique and vintage treasures.
It was the perfect way to escape the rain and among the treasures we fell in love with were a colorful old quilt, a bright red,vintage tandem bicycle and an old, metal toy truck.
We could have stayed for hours but knew that more fun was waiting for us about 15 minutes down the road.

The "on-again, off-again" state of the Bugatti Galibier has changed more times in recent years than Taylor Swift's relationship status on Facebook.
It's a pity because the Galibier was actually a pretty tantalizing super sedan that complemented the more performance-oriented Veyron supercar nicely.
But after years of waffling on its future, Bugatti's current CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer may have finally put the final nail on the Galibier's coffin.
Speaking to Motor Trend, Dürheimer bared his thoughts on the future of the Galibier and apparently, the super sedan doesn't have much of a future anymore, at least as far as a production model is concerned. The new Bugatti CEO, who was actually the engineering brains behind the Veyron, expressed concern regarding the company's capability in supporting two expensive models. The business case to handle two expensive models doesn't add up given Bugatti's current setup, and with the Veyron expected to receive a long-overdue replacement, something had to be sacrificed.
And that something appears to be the Galibier.
We don't like it any more than a lot of people do, but you know what they say, "business is business".

Dark Souls pt 1: Everybody Hurts.
So if you don't know anything about Dark Souls then I'll start by filling you in with what I've learned so far:
* You're undead.
* You have to ring some magical bells.
* Everything wants to kill you.
* Zoe Wannamaker narrates the opening.
Essentially, it's the kind of game where narrative takes a back-seat to you getting your ass kicked by things. Big things, small things, flying things and, usually, the environment.
You get-killed your way through an area in order to reach the boss, which kills you a few times before you figure out how to kill it first. Then die your way through the next bit, and so on and so forth.
So there we go, I'm an undead warrior powering my way through some sort of Asylum wielding a broken butter knife.
The first thing I noticed is that there are other undead fellows around. Figuring we've got something in common, I walk up to one of them and proceed to have my arm being gnawed at.
I don't think they like me. Presumably because I'm a little bit less undead than them.
Anyway, after wending my way through some tunnels and some corpses and some rubble, I find a bonfire. Apparently I'm going to love these because they restore my health and make me warm and I can snuggle up in my blanket and roast marshmallows and whatnot. They also revive all the enemies, confirming that every silver lining has a cloud.
A giant green door that brings all the camera angles to the yard tells I encounter the many-chinned Asylum Demon, bane of Dentists. I know this because his name and health bar are conveniently displayed in all their undamaged glory. I take a swipe at him and check his health bar to confirm that I dealt roughly no damage. He looks sternly at me and I die whimpering.
Pictured: Someone who looks cooler than me doing a far better job.
The only way to continue is through the room with that in it. Luckily there was a side exit, so I do my best impression of Usain Bolt and scrape my way into a tiny corridor, which loops back to the beginning, but leaves me far better equipped.
Before carrying on though, the game needs to introduce some form of plot, which it does so through the medium of a dying knight telling me his family motto, which is so long that even Tolkien gave up, and all I really took from it is that I have to ring a bell, Anita Ward style.
But first I need to kill the Asylum Demon.
Other Notable Moments:
+ Being intimately kissed by a large metal boulder.
+ Mocking the Asylum Demon from a balcony.
+ The A.D knocking the balcony down.
+ And me with it.

TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
Chris Hummer put out a pretty good article on Andrew Luck after yesterday's game, around how little Luck looked like (say that five times fast) a rookie against Green Bay. He finished with 362 yards and two touchdowns but his no-huddle offense, cool demeanour, and quick feet won the Colts the game. In fact, the only other thing Hummer could have touched on was, arguably, Luck's most defining play that game.The Colts were at Green Bay's 11 yard line, third and seven. It was a relatively simple play call: two WRs on either side, Brown dropping back to help block; Hilton, Avery, and Brazill all went endzone, while Wayne cut from right to left on a short slant route. Everyone was covered almost immediately, Luck steps up, and for a split second you realized two things - one, he's going for it himself. Two, there are two linebackers and two DBs right in front of him. Instead of sliding, Luck went for it all, throwing himself through D.J Smith and Casey Hayward and landing...

Women's Basketball Defeats Wagner, 85-72
HAMDEN, Conn. - The Quinnipiac University women's basketball team beat Wagner College, 85-72, in its first Northeast Conference match-up of the season. With the home victory, the Bobcats improve to 2-5 overall and 1-0 in conference play, while the Seahawks fall to 3-3 on the season and 0-1 in the NEC.
Sophomore guard Felicia Barron (Springfield, Mass.) led the Bobcats with 14 points and a career-high eight assists, while collecting four rebounds in the win. In addition, three Quinnipiac players scored in double-figures including Shelby Sferra (LaGrangeville, N.Y.) (12), Alyssa Jann (Westford, Mass.) (11) and Brittany McQuain (Independence, Mo.) (10). Sferra posted a team-high seven rebounds and posted three assists and three steals in the contest. Ashley Olsen led the Seahawks with a team-high 18 points and nine rebounds.
Overall, the Bobcats shot 46.6 percent from the floor, while holding Wagner to 37.5 percent. Also, Quinnipiac posted a .833 free throw percentage in the game, as it went 25-30, from the line. For the second game in a row, the Bobcats outrebounded its opponent, 45-32.
Quinnipiac ended the first half ahead by 22 points, 53-31, after shooting 54.1 percent from the field. The score read 7-2 with 18:18 on the clock, as Jann made her first of four three-pointers in the game. The Bobcats went on a 13-5 run followed by a 12-2 run capped off by another Jann three-pointer that gave Quinnipiac its biggest lead of the half, 26 points, 50-24. Overall, Quinnipiac benefited from Wagner's 13 turnovers, as they converted 21 points off of Seahawks' miscues.
In addition, the Bobcats' bench added 21 points in the half, led by senior Courtney Kaminski's (Dudley, Mass.) and freshman Camryn Warner's (Keene, N.H.) six points apiece, and Ellen Cannon's (West Chester, Pa.) five points.
Wagner opened the second half outscoring Quinnipiac, 16-4, over the first seven minutes of the half, powered by a pair of three-pointers by Stephanie McBride that pulled the Seahawks within 12 points, 59-47, with 12:59 remaining in the game. It was the closest they would come for the remainder of the game as Quinnipiac pushed their lead as high as 20 points with Barron scoring nine of her 14 points down the stretch.
A late 8-1 run by Wagner over the final two minutes of the game pulled them within 13 points to end the game, 85-72.
Bobcats return to action on Saturday, Dec. 11 when they host Army at 12 p.m. at the TD Bank Sports Center in Hamden, Conn.

It looks as if the investigation into Chris Kluwe's claims that Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer made anti-gay remarks during the 2012 season is close to becoming public.
All interviews have been completed, according to former U.S. Department of Justice attorney Chris Madel, one of the investigators, and the team's independent investigation into Priefer has reached its conclusion. The findings are expected to be finalized and handed over to the Vikings next week.
After they receive the report, the Vikings may have to huddle up with the NFL's legal team before the results are made public and an announcement is made about whether Priefer will be disciplined. That process could still take a couple of weeks, but the end is in sight.
Meanwhile, Kluwe's attorney, Clayton Halunen, was scheduled to meet with the Vikings' lawyers on Thursday to further discuss the investigation into Priefer.
Priefer was accused by Kluwe, the former Vikings punter, of making anti-gay remarks during the 2012 season. Kluwe, in an article published on the website Deadspin in January, also said that he believed his public support of marriage equality led to his release from the team in 2013.
The Vikings launched a lengthy investigation into Priefer, who has been on the staff since 2011. Madel is heading the investigation along with former Minnesota Supreme Court chief justice Eric Magnuson.
Priefer, who was retained by new coach Mike Zimmer, said earlier today that his focus is on football.
The investigation into Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer is expected to be wrapped up and released to the public in the coming weeks, perhaps as early as this weekend. Priefer was accused by former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe of making anti-gay remarks in team meetings.
Priefer, who was one of three coaches retained by new head coach Mike Zimmer, just spoke with reporters for the first time this offseason. He said his focus is on the Vikings, not the investigation.
"It's been one of those things, I come to work every morning and I'm excited about the direction of this football team," Priefer said after today's morning walkthrough. "I really like our coaching staff and I'm excited about our new players and excited about the guys we retained and came back. So my focus has been totally on football."
After Kluwe claimed Priefer made anti-gay remarks during the 2012 season and that the punter's public support of LGBT rights led to his release in 2013, the Vikings launched an investigation into Priefer, who has been on the staff since 2011. The investigation is headed by former Minnesota chief justice Eric Magnuson and former U.S. department of justice attorney Chris Madel.
In a statement issued in January, Priefer "vehemently" denied the claims Kluwe made on Deadspin.
Final from the Metrodome: Green Bay 44, Vikings 31
Story of the game: The Vikings (1-6) had no answer for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He completed 24 of 29 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns, methodically mixing in passing and running plays to perfection. The Packers (5-2) did not have to punt once.
Ground game: Eddie Lacy rushed 29 times for 94 yards for the Packers, who ran 11 times more than they passed.
Vikings highlight: Cordarrelle Patterson returned the opening kickoff an NFL record 109 yards for a touchdown.
As expected: Christian Ponder's return as the Vikings starting quarterback was very Ponder-like. He passed for only 145 yards in relief of Josh Freeman (concussion). Expect Freeman to start next Sunday at Dallas.
Just sayin': The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday. Although NFL in-season trades are rare, the Vikings might be considering something as they are clearly now turned toward building for the future.
Adrian Peterson's quest for the NFL rushing record has taken center stage. But there is another pretty good running back to watch in this weekend's Vikings game: Arian Foster.
Entering this week's games Peterson has a league-best 1,812 rushing yards, and is within Eric Dickerson's NFL-record 2,105. But Foster, who first came to the Texans as an undrafted free agent, has put up some strong numbers, too.
Foster is fourth in the league with 1,313 yards. Now, to show just how much Peterson has lapped the field this season, those 1,313 are precisely the same number Peterson has had since Week 7.
Still, Foster's numbers are impressive. His 1,493 yards from scrimmage is fifth in the league – Peterson's 2,023 is No. 1 – and if Foster scores a TD this week he will become the sixth player in NFL history to score 50 TDs in his first 50 NFL games.
"The scheme they run really fits what he does well," Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway said of Foster. "He's really patient, good at finding cut-back lanes. They throw the ball well out of the play-action game and bootleg game, and that serves Foster well in the run game as well."
The Vikings have seen their share of good running backs this season, going up against five of the top 10 NFL rushers this season in Seattle's Marshawn Lynch (second), Washington's Alfred Morris (third), Tampa Bay's Doug Martin (fifth), Tennessee's Chris Johnson (seventh) and Frank Gore of San Francisco (ninth). Lynch ran for 124 yards, Morris had 57, Martin 135, Johnson 24 and Gore 63.
And now they get Foster.
Houston coach Gary Kubiak said he saw some similarities between Foster and Peterson.
"The thing about Adrian is that he has the home run speed," Kubiak said. "Arian is one of those guys where it seems, the more he carries it, the stronger he gets. These are two guys who, the more they touch it, the more difficult it is to tackle them. Just two great players."
(Almost) no comment
Christian Ponder's marriage was not something many Vikings players wanted to discuss in the locker room.
Some, like center John Sullivan and guard Brandon Fusco, simply changed the subject.
"My focus right now is just going and grabbing some lunch and relaxing before practice," safety Mistral Raymond said. "That should be dealt with somewhere else."
Fullback Raymond Felton said he heard about it in the media like everybody else. Reaction? "I congratulated him," Felton said. "Several people have congratulated him. So, obviously, whatever makes him happy we want that for him. It was a big day for him, and we're happy for him."
Of course, if anyone was going to have a little fun about the situation, it was punter Chris Kluwe, who wondered openly where he might find a gift registry. As for the present he planned on buying?
"Maybe a tea cozy," he said.
Wins, not records
After winning NFC special teams player of the week honors for the second time this season, Vikings kicker Blair Walsh talked about winning, not records.
Specifically when he was asked whether he thought about making the Pro Bowl in this, his rookie season. "Yeah, it would be awesome, but that's not my main goal right now."
Walsh hit all five of his field goals last week, three in the 50-yards-plus range. He is now 8-for-8 from that distance, which ties him with Morten Andersen and Jason Hanson for most field goals of 50 or more yards in a season. He is one away from holding that record alone.
"I'm just wishing we win," Walsh said. "I don't' care about the records. My whole deal with the records is that they're meant to be broken. It would be nice to have, but I'd rather win."
Walsh is 29-for-32 on field goals this season and is fourth in the NFC in scoring among kickers. He said the snap and hold has been perfect for every attempt this season, and that his three misses were entirely his fault.
So the question is, in a dome, in ideal circumstances, what does he think his limit is? "I think 65 (yards) and in I can at least give it a realistic shot," he said.
Doing his part
Felton said he, along with the linemen and the rest of the team, are pulling for Peterson to break Dickerson's record. But will he feel he earned a part of that record should it happen?
"A little bit," he said. "I'll be able to tell my grandkids about it. So, obviously, I think it's important for our whole team. And the most important thing is getting wins. But when Adrian is successful that helps our team. That's what we're focused on."
Meanwhile, it appears the work Felton has done has probably put to rest the question of whether Peterson prefers a fullback or running out of one-back sets. Felton said he'd seen a stat that indicated the Vikings gain better than 7 yards per rush with a fullback and 3-plus yards out of one-back sets.
Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer is a big fan of Ray Guy, but he's not a big fan of Vikings punter Chris Kluwe's ongoing campaign to get Guy voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a sign of respect for punters.
Asked jokingly if he was going to hide the tape so Kluwe couldn't write any more pro-Ray Guy messages on his uniform this Sunday, Priefer turned serious.
"I don't even want to talk about it," he said. "Those distractions are getting old for me, to be honest with you. Does Ray Guy deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? Absolutely. But there are other ways to go about doing it, in my opinion."
Asked if he's talked to Kluwe about it, Priefer said, "No. He won't listen."
Kluwe was an outspoken proponent of gay marriage rights in the fall. After Minnesota voters weighed in and agreed with Kluwe, the punter turned his attention and his Twitter account to pushing Guy for the Hall of Fame while lambasting the Hall's selectors for not selecting a punter for enshrinement.
Kluwe went a step further last Sunday when players' uniforms contained a patch celebrating the Hall's 50th anniversary. Kluwe covered the patch with a piece of tape that had the words "Vote Ray Guy" on it. He was fined $5,250, which is the standard amount for a uniform violation. Wednesday, he said the fine was worth it and continued his crusade in front of a group of reporters.
"To me, it's getting old," Priefer said. "He's got to focus on punting and holding."
Rudolph's big `catch'
When offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave was asked why tight end Kyle Rudolph didn't have a catch in Sunday's game, he smiled and said, "He had the onside kick. That was his first touch of the game. I congratulated him for that."
Musgrave went on to say the team needs to get Rudolph more involved in the offense on a consistent basis.
Priefer also talked about Rudolph's contribution to the hands-team on kickoff returns.
"He's the perfect guy for that," Priefer said. "He's big and strong and can jump and has great hands. He's the ideal hands-team player, in my opinion."
Jefferson won't return kicks this week
Cornerback A.J. Jefferson has been cleared to return to practice following Sunday's concussion, defensive coordinator Alan Williams said today.
Priefer said Jefferson won't return kickoffs. He returned his first and only kickoff as a Viking last week. He fumbled it, but that's not why he won't be returning kicks this week.
"It's more for the concussion," he said. "He's had some really good returns in Arizona. He was very successful. No touchdowns, but he had some big plays for them last year. I was excited for that role when we got him. Because of the concussion, you have to be smart."
Punt returner Marcus Sherels "more than likely" will return kickoffs as well, Priefer said.

Coppin State men's basketball coach Fang Mitchell has preached to his players this season that they are most effective when they can get everyone involved in the offense.
As a result, Mitchell, who is in his 27th season with the program, wants to see his team finish at least in double digits in assists each game. In Wednesday night's matchup against crosstown rival UMBC, the host Eagles executed that game plan perfectly to take control late in the first half and eventually cruised to a 91-71 victory.
"I think they came out and understood they had to play defense," Mitchell said. "The big thing is I thought they played together. They shared the ball. Whenever I see them with high assists, that's the way I want them to play."
Coppin State has won four consecutive games in the series, which resumed in 2009 after a nine-year hiatus. The Eagles lead the series 27-10 all-time and have not lost to UMBC in 13 years.
Michael Murray led five Eagles in double figures with 21 points, including 4-for-6 from 3-point range. Taariq Cephas had 18 points and eight assists, while Sterling Smith finished with 17 points. Arnold Fripp scored 15 points, and Brandon St. Louis added 12 for Coppin State.
"Over the last four years I've been here, this might be the most tight-knit group we've had," Murray said. "Everyone is talking. We laugh and have fun together, and it's showing on the floor."
Rodney Elliott (John Carroll) led UMBC with 16 points, while Quentin Jones (Mount St. Joseph) had 12 and Aaron Morgan finished with 11.
Coppin State (4-4) had 18 assists as a team and improved to 4-0 when it finished with double digits in that category.
"Because we have so much depth, we need to share the ball. We don't need just one person to carry the load," Mitchell said. "It's a situation where we're looking to get better as we go along."
The Retrievers (3-8) were coming off a week in which they played three games in six days. They went 1-2 over that stretch, but the all three matchups were decided by six points or fewer.
A road-weary Coppin State played five of its opening eight games on the road, including a trip to the West Coast to play California and Oregon State.
After UMBC held an early lead, the Coppin State found its rhythm and went on an 11-2 run and took a 23-17 lead on a putback by Fripp with 7:40 left in the half. Murray then scored eight points in just under two minutes to boost the margin to 14 with 4:02 remaining.
UMBC continued to chip away and a 3-pointer by Morgan in the final two minutes cut the margin to single digits. However, Smith's tip in the final seconds gave Coppin State a 43-32 lead at the break.
The Eagles scored 16 points off 12 turnovers and shot 45.5 percent (15-for-33) in the opening half.
UMBC picked up the tempo defensively in the second half, and a 3-pointer by Jones cut the margin to 49-41 with 16:10 left in the game. However, the Eagles were unfazed and Murray boosted the lead back to 15 when he converted a three-point play after he was fouled while converting a layup in traffic with 14:30 remaining.
A 3-pointer by Elliott pulled UMBC to within 63-52 with 10:36 left. However, the Eagles were too strong on this night and another 3-pointer by Fripp with six minutes remaining increased the lead back to 21.
Bowie State 98, District of Columbia 75: Ray Gatling and Carlos Smith each scored 20 points to lead the host Bulldogs (6-4) past the Firebirds (1-6).
Bowie State shot 50 percent from the field in the first half to take a 49-34 lead at the break. The Bulldogs' largest lead, 23 points, came with 14:05 left in the game.
Lenjo Kilo finished with a game-high 32 points for UDC.
Penn State-Harrisburg 59. Frostburg State 58: Jabari Kamu (16 points) scored five points in the final 1:11, including a layup with 57 seconds left to bring the visiting Bobcats (0-7, 0-2 Capital Athletic Conference) within one point, but no closer.

I'm not sure how playing wow would have any bearing on the grades you get, the sports you enjoy participating in, or the effort you make socializing. If you're afraid of how others might perceive you despite all of those admirable accomplishments you just listed, you might have some self esteem issues, or just be totally ashamed of your little secret/addiction.
On the other hand, you yourself might have a misconception or a stereotypical idea of the "average wow player". Not all of us are pimply adolescents who are horrible at sports, get bad grades, and lack social skills. There are over 10 million people that play, that leaves a lot of room for a diverse scope of people.

Joe Simpson's quite a forgiving guy ... 'cause Jessica's dad tells TMZ he would still have a beer with Nick Lachey ... even after his daughter's ex-hubby TRASHED him on national television.
It was just last month that Nick went on "Watch What Happens Live" and told Andy Cohen ... the best part of divorcing Jessica was not having to play grab ass under the table w/ Joe at family events.
But Joe -- who hit up Greystone Manor with 3 pretty hot chicks this weekend -- told us he still "loves" Nick after the diss ... and praised him for being a good husband to his daughter.
Sidenote -- at one point in the video, Joe's hot friend in the pink dress addresses the gay rumors ... even though nobody really asked her. So, check that out.
the girls there are paid escorts, we all know joe simpson loves men.............he is bisexual
He is going out with not one, not two, but three models at a very public place? sounds like he is trying too hard to convince people he is not gay.
Of course he loves Nick. Nick is a good looking man.
Oh whatever. Nick didn't really trash him. It was a joke -- a funny one.
joe doesnt want to admit he is gay right now.
Trashed? It was a joke for f*cks sake.
I think Joe disrespected Jess in this comment but more so Eric
He's gay. Why does it really matter?
Gayer words have not been spoken
Beards that resemble his daughters....issues.
I thought for sure at one time that he was nailing his daughters. He's gayer than Perez Hilton, and that's flaming like a blowtorch.
He just loves Nick's a$$! Mr grabby pants
Joe wants some of Nicks peeper
JOE Simpson is a good guy. He worked his ass off to get both girls careers.....if it weren't for Joe Simpson there wouldn't be any Simpson's with money or fame. Thats the truth.

Free Range is the new career change. This alternative to corporate life strikes a chord with stressed out professionals who are becoming more disillusioned with 'jobs' in this insecure economy and are dreaming of making a (good) living without an office or a boss, getting paid to do something they love, on their terms.
These are not responsibility-free 18 year olds either: often these are people who have 'done the right thing' and followed a 'good career' path to date but are craving more time, freedom and fulfilment. The freedom to decide how you spend your days appeals to couples, singles, parents with ages of the free range tribe ranging from mid 20s to late 60s!
I can provide an expert opinion (from the UK and the US) on this growing trend and the people behind it.

- Location independent businesses and lives (ie: how to work from a beach in Bali)
And more.
I know case studies are important so you are welcome to ask about my own career cage escape or my location independent lifestyle (details here). I also have access to people with their own interesting stories to tell.
