There are plenty of websites and books and magazines that will describe in detail how to do each of those exercises. I recommend Arnold Swarzennegers Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding for the beginning body builder.

This sounds like a nice workout right here, will practice it. Sometimes I think I should become an IFBB Pro myself since I have been wanting to do this since I was 7. I got nothing to lose I guess. Thanks for the Exercise recommendations and the days.

Try this for a bicep workout. Its the best thing I've ever tried and its created by a professional.
By K001KYL3 on Jun 25, 2011 at 9:24 am
Excellent workout and very sensible. There is such a huge difference in the training mentalities between pros, for example Yates did so many less sets and less reps/more weight whereas Haney did many more sets and many more reps. I first saw the workout at http://www.bodybuildingapplied.com/ and did try it for a while but found that I needed to choose 3 or 4 exercises that worked best for me and not all of them as outlined above. Bodybuilding is about finding what works best for you. The workout examples of the pros are a great lead! Thank you.

Roger, like she is a female Roger, okay? She literally acts like him so much, minus the AIDS and guitar playing part, but she plays the saxophone. She never leaves the house, and when she does it's for a short period of time. She is really hesitant about liking people, and she always is saying another day, questioning if someone actually cares, when I know, she has plenty of people, including Lais, Rachel, Rhiannon, and Sara.
It's either Roger or Joanne.

I must confess that I did not see any of Harkleroads matches but Melinda Czink has that " top fifty in the world" gleam in her eye!! I think she will win this tournament. Of all the talented junior players around Melinda and Gisella Dulko (who did not play this event) appear to have the most potential.

Chocolate Buttermilk Cake with Chocolate-Pecan Icing
Published: January 2013 Servings: 14
- Nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 3 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups sugar
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Icing and assembly
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 cups powdered sugar, sifted, plus more for dusting
- 1 1/3 cups finely chopped toasted pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Special Equipment
- Two 10-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides
Nutritional Information

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Place a rack in middle of oven; pre-heat to 325°. Coat cake pans with nonstick spray, line bottoms with parchment-paper rounds, and coat again with nonstick spray; set aside. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs in a large bowl until slightly frothy. With mixer on high, gradually add sugar; beat until mixture is pale and has doubled in volume, 7-8 minutes.
Reduce mixer speed to medium; gradually add oil. Beat until emulsified (mixture will resemble a grainy mayonnaise), 3-4 minutes.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat to blend between additions, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Add vinegar and vanilla and beat just to blend. Divide batter between prepared pans.
Bake until cakes begin to pull away from sides of pans and a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 50-55 minutes.
Transfer cakes to wire racks and let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around insides of pans to release cakes; invert onto racks and let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Cakes can be made 2 days ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill.
Icing and Assembly
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Whisk in cocoa powder (mixture will stiffen). Slowly whisk in milk and salt, then 5 cups powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth (icing will be soft). Stir in pecans and vanilla. Chill icing, stirring often, until spreadable, about 30 minutes.
With a long, serrated knife, halve each cake horizontally, creating 4 rounds. Place 1 round on a cake stand. Top with 1/3 of icing; spread to the edges. Repeat twice with cake layers and icing. Top with remaining cake layer. Chill until set, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Cake can be assembled 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar.

Ryan Nehlen was made for a pro day.
As one of West Virginia football's most gifted athletes, the
opportunity to put his body to the test and measure that athleticism in terms
of concrete numbers is something that the wide receiver can take advantage of.
So when the Mountaineers held their pro day a week ago, the
Morgantown native knew his football future was on the line and if he performed
the way he was capable of doing, the National Football League scouts, general
managers and coaches on hand would have no choice but to take notice.
"My body is drained right now just because I'm not used to
this stuff," Nehlen said after his workout. "Running the 40[-yard dash], I'm
not used to that stuff, getting down in a three-point stance and taking off.
That stuff stresses you out a little bit."
You wouldn't know it based on his results.
Nehlen clocked the fastest times and the highest numbers in
many of the statistical categories tested throughout the day. His 40-yard dash
of 4.53 seconds was top on the team, as were both of his shuttle runs and he
turned in the second-best time on the three-cone drill.
He also apparently hid his pogo stick, but used it well when
showing off his leaping ability. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound athlete had a vertical
jump of 39 inches, which was not only the best at West Virginia, but it also
would have been just half of an inch behind the best jump among wide receivers
at this year's NFL Combine.
His broad jump was again at the top of the charts, covering
11-feet and one inch.
He, along with running back Shawne Alston and cornerback Pat
Miller, spent weeks under the tutelage of West Virginia's strength staff,
trying to prepare their bodies for the exact rigors that would accompany pro
"I worked out here at the stadium with Mike Joseph, Darl
[Bauer], Kevin [McCadam] and they did a great job of getting us ready and
working on our technique and I give all the praise to them. They did a great
job with us," said Nehlen.
So when it all played out and the reps and the runs really
counted, that group was all there to cheer on Ryan and to cheer on each other
to a strong showing and a potential look from those in the NFL who ultimately
decide what a player can and cannot provide their team.
"He's a kid who does everything right, he tests out the
roof," WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said of Nehlen. "You never know
when people are just going to take it and run with it."
Many of those on hand may now be forced to go back and look
at Nehlen's film from his career, but the problem they may encounter is that
not much of exists. He just so happened to play behind the likes of Stedman
Bailey and Tavon Austin, not to mention other receivers who took playing time
You won't hear him complain about that fact, though.
Actually, he sees their success as being beneficial to him now.
"I was totally blessed to have the years Geno [Smith] and
Stedman and Tavon had this year and the publicity surrounding this event was
special for guys like me who didn't have as much film on the field. So it was a
good experience," said Nehlen.
After proving his athleticism, Nehlen had a chance to join
those more sought after friends of his in passing drills. Smith threw 64 passes
that day and the majority of them were to Bailey and Austin, but none of them
that targeted Nehlen ever touched the ground.
He showed his ability to run crisp routes, to make quick
cuts and to leap in the corner of the end zone and pull down a ball from its
highest point.
"This stuff, catching balls and running routes, that's what
I've done my whole life, so I enjoy that part," said Nehlen. "It was fun
because it just felt like a Friday walk-through out there running routes with
[Smith] and we've always had a pretty good connection."
That is precisely what Nehlen thinks he can provide a team
at the next level. He may not have the flash and the big numbers to back him
up, but he has a solid skill set and a great pair of hands to help become a
reliable receiver for some passer in the NFL.
"I'm never going to blow by anybody," said Nehlen. "There
are people for that in the NFL, but I think there's always a spot for a guy
that can just go out there and just consistently catch the football. I think if
you can consistently catch the football, you always will have a chance."
The man who put him through his daily grind much of the past
season believes that if Nehlen finds himself in an NFL camp, he will do what it
takes to stick around.
"In my opinion, he needs to be on a roster at some point in the beginning of
the year and be given an opportunity just based on my knowledge of being around
him for the last two years," Dawson said.
Nehlen knows that he has an uphill climb to land a job in
the pro ranks, but he also knows that with his WVU career behind him, he has a
clean slate.
"After college, it's a new start," Nehlen said. "You want to
set new impressions on people and hopefully they give you a chance."
If pro day was his first impression on the NFL, it was quite
a good one.

Shrek the Third Reviews
Digital Spy
With a plot lacking no urgency, Shrek 3 is a well-animated film containing a few standout, but ultimately throwaway sequences that don't do enough to sustain our interest.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Computer-animated ugliness
Boston Phoenix
From its humble, elegant origins as a slim children's book by William Steig, Shrek has metastasized into a symptom of and metaphor for the entertainment industry and modern culture in general.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4
Fayetteville Free Weekly
Shrek the Third has the curse of the third in a bankable series. It is too often sappy, tiresome, and overblown. A franchise such as Shrek, with all the money it has accumulated, should be able to buy a little freshness and originality. But instead
Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/5
Apart from some modestly amusing princess shtick and a pleasantly slapsticky opening, there's no real reason for anyone over the age of 11 to see this one.
Movie Metropolis
The best thing it has going for it is its look, which is stunning.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
San Francisco Examiner
Though the devious wit of the original remains, it is obscured by too many classic-rock interludes (courtesy of Led Zeppelin, Heart and Paul McCartney) and nudging pop-culture references that seem by now just part of the formula.
| Original Score: 2.5/4
This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.
The Scorecard Review
The problem with this film is that after a quick, fun beginning they repeat a similar journey from the first film. Except this time, Shrek and Artie argue instead of Shrek and Fiona.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
3BlackChicks Review
Your kids may enjoy it, but you would do better to wait for the video.
Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Feels refreshed and might be -- especially for relieved parents -- the most entertaining film of the franchise.
Full Review | Original Score: B
Movie Views
While there are times of moderate amusement, Shrek the Third offers few surprises. It seems as though perhaps the creators have found their stride and are calling it in more than going out on a limb.

It's far too open in its desires (MAKING MONEY) to be hate-worthy.

Any film with the wherewithal to cast Ian McShane as Captain Hook has more going for it than flatulence.

Lawsuit: Corpse Was Too Fat For Med School
August 2, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
NEW YORK, (UPI) — A New York family's lawsuit against a hospital alleges a medical school rejected a man's corpse for being too large.
The family of George Cardel filed a lawsuit after the 59-year-old man, who weighed about 300 pounds, was pronounced dead at Long Island Jewish Medical Center after suffering a heart attack Dec. 29, 2011, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
The lawsuit alleges Cardel's last request was for his body to be donated to science, but the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University rejected the corpse for being too large and the hospital took 13 days to return the body, resulting in heavy decomposition that led to the body needing to be cremated.
"We thought everything was taken care of until 13 days later," said Cardel's sister, Maryann O'Donnell.
Officials at the hospital said they attempted to donate the corpse to multiple medical schools, but there were no takers.
The lawsuit alleges "grave humiliation."

Tonight we had Swiss Chalet's Festive Special and something about the chicken, and stuffing and cranberry sauce made me go straight home and put up all of our Christmas decorations. We would love to win the trip to Switzerland, we are getting married next year and that would be a beautiful honeymoon trip. Happy Holidays!!!POSTED BY:MANDY MCINTYRE
We love going to Swiss Chalet, especially when Lindt Chocolates are the gift with purchase. But we don't eat them ourselves - NO! We collect them and share them throughout the holiday season. We give them to the woman at the drive thru, the lady that delivers the mail, the lovely person who makes our tea at the tea shop, the waitress at lunch.. you get the picture. Lindt from Swiss Chalet is our gift that keeps on giving!POSTED BY:ARLENE MAC DONALD
Twas the night before Christmas and through Swiss Chalet, The arrival of our Festive Special is met with "Hooray!"Dad loves the mashed potatoes so much he nearly licks out the bowl,While health conscious Mum opts for the multigrain roll.The famous quarter rotisserie chicken with stuffing is what Grandpa wishes;I think Grandma is glad she doesn't have to cook or do dishes!The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere so merry,When they ask if we're enjoying our meal we say "very!"The cranberry sauce beckons like a bowl full of jelly, I'm so full all I can do is hold my belly. We think our dining experience is over and done,But then the Lindor chocolates arrive just as we're eating the last bun. Our waitress smiles and waves like a lively cartoon:"Happy Holidays to all, please come again soon!"POSTED BY:CASSIE SILVA
Every year for my birthday (which is right before Christmas) my kids and I go to Swiss Chalet for the Festive Christmas Special. We have a tradition in our family that the bday person gets to choose what they want for their bday dinner and they don't have to do the dishes. My kids LOVE my choice because they don't have to do dishes either and we all enjoy the chocolates with our meal. PS: (I pay but that doesn't matter)POSTED BY:DELIA LORENTZ HUITEMA
We have 3 kids, and it is our tradition that on their birthday they get to pick where we eat out. Our middle child Adam always no matter what always picks Swiss Chalet even though we eat there at least once a month. He is a December baby so on his birthday we all get to enjoy the festive special and we all look forward to it. This is a tradition and memory that will stay with us forever and I hope Swiss Chalet never stops their festive special. When I hear the commercials for the festive special, I automatically think of my son's birthday.POSTED BY:WENDY MCGEAN-DAY
Every year my wife Brenda and I enjoy the Festive Special at Swiss Chalet in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. The box of Lindor chocolates always adds a treat for the drive home.In November, 2008 I got caught in an unexpected snow storm around 6:00 pm on the Cobequid Pass on T.C.H. Heavy snow and high winds made the road impassable. After about three hours, I was getting hungry, I looked in my console and I couldn't believe my eyes. There were two unopened boxes of Lindor chocolates. I rationed the chocolates for the next five hours until the snowplows freed the traffic.I told my story to the friendly Swiss Chalet waitresses and now each year we chuckle about how I survived being stuck in my truck for eight hours. Thank you Swiss Chalet for having a special meaning to me for your Festive Special each year.POSTED BY:DONALD CAMPBELL
This year marked the 28th year in a row that my best friend, Debbie, and I have shared the Festive Special! The first year we were 15 and our moms drove us! Now we are in our 40s, each married with children and have very busy lives. But we ALWAYS make time to get together and enjoy this great tradition! The only thing that has changed from our first visit is that we now order wine! Merry Christmas all!POSTED BY:CATHY LOGAN
Following the home birth of our baby boy, last December, Swiss Chalet's famous feast was our first meal together as a family, which I enjoyed right in my own bed! It was a warm and cozy way to kick off the holiday season with our new baby and as friends and family came by to visit! We had gone out to Swiss Chalet nine months earlier to celebrate that we were expecting our second child, so it was rather fitting for my Dad to bring by a family favorite!POSTED BY:BENJAMIN CHARLENE VANDENBRINK
Having met in University, we became friends that also developed a common bond of being from out of town and not always being able to go home for special events and some holidays. In these times we would all go out together as a family of friends to the nearby Swiss Chalet for food and drinks. Now we have all moved to different locations to pursue different careers, but we still continue our unique university tradition every year by meeting at the (Half-way point) Swiss Chalet location in Ancaster, Ontario. What better festive gift than to reunite with close friends? Thanks Swiss Chalet!POSTED BY:JUSTIN MARANGER
Going out to restaurants was something that my family was not able to do very often while I was growing up. The first winter that I was married, my husband took me to Swiss Chalet for the first time for the festive special. It was love at first taste! It was so special to share that memory with him and now we go every year for the Festive Special (and he always shares his chocolates with me because they're my favourite!) And every year we go, we laugh about how excited I was when I first tasted the chicken and chalet sauce!POSTED BY:IULIA ZWICKER
For the past 7 years my friends and I have celebrated a holiday we have dubbed "Swissmas". One Saturday in December the four of us get together for a Swiss Chalet festive special meal, a tour of Ottawa to check out the Christmas lights, and a Christmas movie at the theatre. Swissmas started off as just another 'dinner and a movie' double date, but has grown to be a special holiday we look forward to every year – with gifts, cards, decorations, songs, recalling great childhood memories, and even a "I *heart* Swissmas" t-shirt! Swissmas is our favourite Swiss Chalet festive moment and regardless of our busy holiday schedules we will always make room to celebrate our Swissmas holiday together. This year, we celebrated Swissmas on December 15 and we are looking forward to next year already! Merry Swissmas!POSTED BY:KRISTEN PIDDUCK
Every month my wife and I would take our dear friend to a Swiss Chalet restaurant. This friend was a WW 2 veteran who served with Canadian army in the armored division. He served in France and Germany and his affliction was his hearing, due to the extreme noise of the war while driving in tanks. However , even with this handicap, he loved his Swiss Chalet menu of Swiss Chalet soup and chicken sandwich. This menu never varied and we never tired of his company. Unfortunately my dear friend passed away a year ago January. But, my wife and I continue to honor his memory by going to the same Swiss Chalet restaurant. Don was a proud Canadian who gallantly served his country. I'm sure that if he were alive today, he would continue to patronize his favourite restaurant, Swiss Chalet.POSTED BY:DAVID HARLTON
My father always loved Swiss Chalet. As he was aging we started having his birthday (Dec. 4 )lunch at his favorite Swiss Chalet. We would invite all of his children their spouses and his grandchildren. At times there would be 30 - 35 of us. ( yes a large family). We loved having lunch at that time of year because the festive special was available then. Six months after my Father passed away his birthday was approaching and I was thinking how much I would miss my lunch with him and my family at Swiss Chalet. So I e-mailed my family to see who was available for the 4th of Dec. I received about 12 back saying that they would love to celebrate Dad's birthday at Swiss Chalet. I made reservations and off we went. I had written down on small pieces of paper some of my Father's funny little sayings, so we could each do a reading to remember him by. When we arrived at Swiss Chalet the waiter sat us and asked what the celebration was. After telling him the story he was impressed that a family would continue to celebrate someone's birthday and life. We left an empty chair at the table, where he would have sat. We laughed, shared stories and had our festive special. The waiter thought it was so wonderful he rewarded everyone with lindor chocolates, even though some of us didn't order the special. We are now into our 4th year without Dad and have celebrated his Dec 4th birthday every year at Swiss Chalet.POSTED BY:MARGIE MILLS
Swiss Chalet was introduced to me 26 years ago December 1st by a young 8 year old girl. We were matched through the Big Sister Organization and she chose the Festive Dinner for our very first outing. December 1, 2012 will mark 26 memorable festive dinners for us. We have shared many laughs, celebrated special occasions, shed tears, and told so many stories over those dinners. I've watched this delightful child graduate from university, become a teacher, get married and have 3 wonderful boys. Every year your staff plays a big role in giving us an enjoyable experience. Thank you Swiss Chalet for your part in a wonderful tradition and treasured memories!POSTED BY:DONNA LAZARUK
My sister took me to Swiss Chalet for the first time when I was around 13 for The Festive Special. It was delicious!! The waitress gave us our finger bowls, I wasn't sure what to do with it. My sister told me it was a fancy drink and before she knew I had drank the whole thing, even the lemon wedge. Every time we go out for our yearly Festive Special, we always laugh about the memory so many years ago.POSTED BY:SARAH KLASSEN
It was a few years ago and we were driving on the 23rd of December to see my grandparents. We had gotten snowed in and couldn't leave that night. My mom was really upset (it was her last chance to see my grandpa in the hospital) so my dad, brother and I took her out to Swiss Chalet for a Christmas dinner. We explained to the server what had happened and she gave us a piece of cake with a Christmas bow on it. It made us so happy. We managed to get to out see Grandpa on Boxing Day when the roads were better. Now we go to Swiss Chalet every year for a special Christmas dinner. This photo is of us kids after visiting Grandpa. Thank you!!! :)POSTED BY:TARYN BOAKE
Growing up as one of three children to a single mom we didn't have much money. So my sweet Uncle Delbert would take us each out for a special birthday dinner. Being born Dec 12th there was no place but Swiss Chalet for our first festive specials for us! Sadly my Uncle is no longer with us and last year when my 7 year old was asked by my sister what she should get me for Christmas he whispered 'A Swiss Chalet gift card so I can take her for her birthday dinner'. The placemat had a place to draw your best friend and you can imagine the love I felt when he drew me. I still have it tucked away. I am so grateful for my festive special tradition, and more grateful for my son. Thank you Swiss Chalet.POSTED BY:ROSEMARY JOANNE WATKINS
Imagine celebrating your mother-in-law's 97th birthday with 30 of the immediate family...thanks to Swiss Chalet, this was a feat that provided delicious food, great friendly service, and no clean-up! The dinner out was such a hit (as was the congratulatory note on the outdoor marquee) that it was repeated on Nana's 98th! Well done, Swiss Chalet.POSTED BY:DALE SABEAN
Sometimes your friends become your family. My sister lives in Boston and my brother in Alberta, so we don't see each other at Christmas, and rarely throughout the year. Each year during the week of Christmas my work friends and I go to Swiss Chalet (in our building) for a festive special lunch. It keeps my spirits up at a time that I am missing my family the most. My friends are amazing and together we've created our own 'family' holiday tradition.POSTED BY:INGRID LARSEN
Tonight was my sons first holiday special dinner. He stuffed as much as he could into his little tummy and then said "Mommy I am full" I then asked him can he fit anything else in?" he replied with "no Mommy I am way to stuffed" as I pulled out the box of chocolates I said "I guess you are too full for these." He grabbed the box and looked at them with such joy and said "no Mommy these I can fit in thank you!!" I kissed him and he began to share all of the chocolates with the family.POSTED BY:LYNDSEY VERNON

Boeing Accelerates 737 Max Development
Boeing has shifted its 737 Max schedules to reflect first delivery of the Max 8 to Southwest Airlines in the third quarter of 2017, as early as six months ahead of the original plan, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president and general manager Scott Fancher revealed here in Paris yesterday. As a result, schedules for the Max 9 and Max 7 would also shift by at least a quarter. The company expects the program to reach firm design configuration in July. "The risks are understood, they're being managed effectively and we have no serious technical issues to deal with," said Fancher.
Although he wouldn't go into detail about how the company planned for the eventuality, Fancher declined to talk about the potential for derailing plans to switch production from the 737NG to the Max late in the decade, but insisted the shift would result in no incremental increase to the risk to the system.
Wind-tunnel testing has shown that the Max will burn 13 percent less fuel than the 737-800, due to the introduction of new CFM Leap-1B turbofans and aerodynamic improvements including so-called advanced technology winglets. The dual-feather winglets, which feature upward and downward-directed composite airfoils joined with a metallic center piece, would contribute at least 1.5 percent, according to 737 Max vice president of marketing Joe Ozimek. "Our idea with this airplane was to build a fuel [savings] machine," said Ozimek. "The whole sense of this was 'let's improve the economics of the airplane by working on fuel burn.'"
Meanwhile, Aviation Partners Boeing has launched the split-scimitar winglet program for the Boeing 737-900ER with an order from United Airlines. The split-scimitar winglet modifies the existing blended winglet with a new cap section, and adds a ventral strake. Aviation Partners Boeing estimates that a 900ER equipped with the winglets will save around 57,000 gallons of fuel over the course of a year.

Best Paper for B&W Images
I'm pulling together a photo book that consists entirely of B&W images.Does anyone have any advice on paper selection? My concern is that the images will print too dark even though I've tried to compensate for that by lightening them. I did a test print of them on regular Kodak image stock and they were acceptable, just a little light. Am I safe to think they'll fall into line when printed on paper stock? I considered doing a 7×7 test book of 20 images but that would mean I'm gambling with the other 75% and $60 or so for a test is a bit steep.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

DIY : A Step-by-Step Guide to Free Media Downloads
At this point you may be asking yourself; what is smart home automation? What exactly is an automated media center? Prepare to have all these questions and more answered as well as learn to set up your first automated media center.
First of all there is no standard for what an automated media center SHOULD be. There is also no limit to what your automated media center COULD be. The general idea behind automating a media center, living room, home, etc. is to create a life of ease. An automated media center makes driving to pick up and drop off movies an obsolete task which results in saved time and money. Smart home automation can be beneficial and even fun for everyone. Automating your home or office media center is the perfect place to begin dabbling with home automation. Most, if not all, of the required software is free and there are no bulky messes of equipment to set up or install. What once was a plain old living room can easily become a destination of choice for friends and family. The only thing left to do after automating your media center is to add a party button (to be discussed later).
The great part about taking this first step towards a Jetson's home is that no tools or handyman skills are required. Simply sit down at your computer and follow this article step by step. While all of this can be done on a Linux system as well; I will be walking through the steps using Windows. By the time you get through this your media center should be running itself. The only equipment needed to set up an automated media center would be a computer and a boat load of free downloadable software. Below I will explain what software is needed, how to download it, and how to use it.
EVENT GHOST is a program that allows the user to create macros. Macros are the very core of what makes an automated media center possible. With that being said; EventGhost should be the first program installed and set up. Follow the steps below to install the EventGhost and create your first macro.
The first step is to download EventGhost from www.eventghost.org/downloads . Be sure to download the most recent version then follow additional instructions given by the install wizard.
The second step is to delete the examples file which EventGhost included in the download. This example file causes error messages which can be intimidating. It is best to just do away with it all together. To do this; go to "FILE" -> "NEW". This will give you a blank template to begin work with.
Step three is to open EventGhost and access the main interface. The log panel is the panel on the left; everything that can be seen by EventGhost will be logged in here. The event control panel is the panel to the right; this is where events can be created, edited or deleted. Plugins are also managed here in the control panel.
Creating the first macro, naturally, is the next step. The basic idea of this macro is to launch a program such as internet explorer or Microsoft word by pressing a sequence of keys. Click on the "ADD PLUGIN" button and select "KEYBOARD" from the "REMOTE RECEIVER" plugins folder. That is the only plugin you need to get through this tutorial and have working macros. EventGhost does provide a significant a great deal of macros with your initial download. If you do find yourself needing other macros then it is as easy as copying the plugins folder and pasting it into "/program files/eventghost/plugins" Once you have added the "KEYBOARD" plugin you will see that all of your keystrokes are showing up in the logging panel. The next step is to add a macro. Click the macro button, then "SYSTEM", then "START APPLICATION", and then press "OK". Next under "EXECUTABLE" browse for the program you wish to launch. The other options may be left blank as they are irrelevant in this case. Then go ahead and click "OK". You have just created a macro but at this point the only way to execute it is manually. The next step is to add an event which will eliminate the need to execute the macro manually. If you want "Ctrl+Alt+1" to be the combination used to initiate your application, then press those or your desired combination now. The pattern of keys you press will show on the log panel. The next step is to drag the keystrokes/event into the macro above the action. You are finished with your first macro. Now anytime you press that "Ctrl+Alt+1" your desired application will launch.
XBMC is a media center which provides an interface which is easy to use and navigate. In order to get the library mode of XBMC to work there is a specific file structure required in order to scrape or download information about media files. If you have a dedicated hard drive then all of your folders can go directly on the drive without any sub-folders. If you are using a hard drive that is shared with other files or programs then simply add a folder and and do the following steps within that one folder.
The first step is to create the following folders; TV Shows, Movies, Music, Photos, Unsorted Media and Misc.
We will start by preparing the movies folder. The movies folder should not have any files stored directly in it. All movies should be stored in a sub-folder with a name containing the movies name, year, and title. The movie file itself should be stored within this folder. When renaming the actual movie file; it should be named using the movie title and whether or not it is HD or not. An example of the file path could look something like this: /Movies/The Waterboy [1998]/The.Waterboy.1080p.BluRay.mkv.
When setting up the TV Shows folder you should follow a similar process. Each show will have a folder which is titled using the name and year. Each series of said show should go inside its series folder. Name each file as the name of the show followed by the series and episode numbers. You could also add the title of the episode if you so desire. An example file path of this could be /TV Shows/Roswell [2000]/Series 2/Roswell – s02e01 – Skin and Bones.avi. Adding the year to the movies and TV shows is not necessary but decreases the chances of the scraper collecting the wrong information.
Setting up the music folder is done the same way as the Movies and TV shows folder. Within the Music folder should be a folder for the artist and within the artist folder should be one folder for each album. It's pretty safe to not add the years to your albums since rarely will an artist come out with more than one album of the same name.
The folder structure of your photos folder is completely up to you. Since your photos will not be scraped for information then it is not required to have any particular title or file structure. It could however be beneficial for you to organize them in some meaningful way so to make it easy to locate photos on demand.
The only folder left to mention is the unsorted media folder. This folder should be left empty as media will automatically be sent here until it is sorted by another application or you.Now that all of your folders are set up it is time to copy your media files to their designated folders. There is no need to copy the art files since your scraper will be taking care of these later.
Torrent software is yet another core piece to this puzzle. Any torrent downloading software will work fine as long as it has the ability to move files to a specific folder when finished downloading. uTorrent is the standard when it comes to downloading torrents. This software has been around forever and has proven itself to be worthy. The Episode Downloader (TED) serves the same purpose as uTorrent but it is easier to use. TED is a Java application that automatically finds designated TV shows and begins downloading them. We will walk through the process of setting up TED. The first step is of course to download TED from the link provided. Set up the torrent program to send only completed downloads to the "unsorted media" folder. Open TED and click "ADD SHOW". A window will pop up and all you do is select the show you wish to download followed by the episode. You will have trouble with some of the older episodes; just a heads up. Once you have completed this then select the desired episode and click "EDIT SHOW".
A few tricks to get better results are as follows; under "FEEDS" click on "+" and ass IsoHunt, click "YES" and a dialogue box will pop up. Click "FILTERS" and change the top numbers to 300mb and the max size to 1200mb. This will keep you from getting low quality files or odd HD files. If you do not wish to get HD files then set the max to about 750mb. If you download on a schedule and do not wish for TED to automatically initiate downloads then these settings can be adjusted under "EXTRA" -> "PREFERENCES".
The Renamer is an automated tool that goes out, finds, and renames any TV show you have it set for. It can also be made to work with movies. Many BitTorrent files are not named using the scraper rules and file format therefore most scrapers are useless. This is where The Renamer comes into play. First thing, of course, is to download the program from the above link. Open the Renamer, click "SETTINGS", then change your fetch folder to your unsorted media folder and change your TV shows archive to your TV shows folder. Check the following boxes: s1e01 , add "0″ for Season (only the first time it appears) , include sub folders , Auto move after renaming, Show name, Season, Episode titles , To TV Show Folder, To Season folder. You have just completed set up of The Renamer.
Ember Media Manager is a tool used to automatically find and download information for your movies. While XBMC has a decent scraping tool it is slow and forces you to re-scrape all files if you have to reinstall XBMC for any reason. If you use Ember Media Manager then there would never be a need to re-scrape in case of a reinstall. Why? Well this is because Ember Media Manager downloads the needed files directly to the movies folder. In order to set this up, go to "EDIT" -> "SETTINGS" -> "FILES AND SOURCES" -> "ADD SOURCE" and browse to the root of your movies folder. This process can also be done during the initial setup as well. Check the desired boxes based on personal preference. Return to the main menu once you have completed this and click "UPDATE LIBRARY". Your list will then appear, and then click "SCRAPE MEDIA" -> "NEW MOVIES" -> "AUTOMATIC" -> "ALL ITEMS" and then sit back and watch it find all the data for you. Assuming you used the "AUTOMATIC" mode then this is the first and only time you will see this screen as it will soon become an automated process.
If you have followed the steps up to this point and you are still wondering how it will all work or what it will even do then fear no more for its all about to come together. At this point you have already downloaded a group of programs which will work together to download and organize your TV shows, movies and music. After your files have been downloaded and organized they will then be imported into XBMC where they are easily accessible from a user friendly dashboard.
It is now time to use EventGhost to tie all of these systems together. There are two plug ins that must be installed to EventGhost; "DIRECTORY WATCHER" and "XBMC". To make 100% sure that your movies are scraped automatically you should install two copies of "DIRECTORY WATCHER". Set one Directory Watcher plugin to look in the unsorted media folder and the other one to look in the movies folder. Then create a new macro called "MOVE NEW SHOWS". Within this new macro tell it to launch The Renamer automatically (SYSTEM -> START APPLICATION), type "-FETCH" in the command line and set the window options to "MINIMIZED". In the same macro add another action below it called "UPDATE VIDEO LIBRARY". Tell it to update from the XBMC folder.
Create a new macro called "SCRAPE NEW MOVIES", set it to open Ember Media Manager and type "-NEWAUTO –ALL" in the command line box. Still inside the same macro you must add another action below it called "UPDATE VIDEO LIBRARY". Tell it to update from the XBMC folder. Inside the same macro create an event called "DIRECTORY.WATCHER.UPDATED" to the top of the first macro and one called "DIRECTORY.WATCHER2.UPDATED" to the top of the second and save this configuration. Finally, check and make sure that everything is automated to create shortcuts to TED in the Windows start up folder.
Now we shall dive into the setup of XBMX. Before moving on please be sure you are using at least version 9.11 of XBMC and are using the default skin. The first step is to add media files. Within XBMC, go to "VIDEOS" and select "ADD SOURCE", locate your "MOVIES" folder and press enter. The source is automatically called "MOVIES". Under "THIS DIRECTORY CONTAINS" select "SET CONTENT" then select "MOVIES" and set the scraper to the one of your choice. Under "SCANNING OPTIONS" select "USE FOLDER NAMES FOR LOOKUPS". Under settings you have many options which you can select based on personal preference. The default selections should work for most cases. This same process is done with the TV shows and any other directory you wish to set up.
The following steps are done just to make sure everything will work properly. From the home screen of XBMX go to "SYSTEM", select "VIDEO, and check all options under "LIBRARY. Do the same thing for "MUSIC". Return to the main screen and under "HOME WINDOW OPTION", select "SKIN". The top four selections should be checked; the rest are up to you. Be sure that "HIDE MOVIES" and "HIDE TV SHOW" are deselected.
Restart XBMC and all of the media will begin to compile within XBMC. TV shows will automatically be downloaded as soon as they hit the internet. They will be organized, labeled, and added to your media center automatically. Downloaded movies will stay in the "UNSORTED MEDIA" folder until you move them to the "MOVIES" folder; at which point they will be found and cataloged by Ember and XBMC. In XBMC there is a "RECENTLY ADDED" box which can be used to see all the new media you have to enjoy.

Saving the Next Generation of Couch Potatoes
Guest blogger JJ Virgin: More and more, I'm convinced that one day we're all just going to cease moving. Who needs legs when you're not using them? Kidding -- sort of. There are tons of reports on kids' lack of activity, but this isn't just a revolution that's happening to our kids -- it's happening to us as well! Remember: Your kids know what you are doing (and not doing). If you're not active, they're not going to be very active, either!
We as a nation are trading our sneakers for dress shoes that, for most of us, sit motionless under our desks for 37.5 hours per week, on average (according to the 2009 American Time-Use Survey). Walk past business offices and observe. What do you see? Most employees are sedentary and virtually statue-like; rapidly typing fingers are the only things moving. Bottom line: Our bodies are idle the majority of our lives. The 37.5 hours mentioned above doesn't take into account the amount of time each day we're sleeping or sitting in front of the television at home, either.
Earlier this year, the American Journal of Epidemiology came out with a study that related leisure time spent sitting to adult mortality. In a nutshell, your morning exercise routine doesn't cancel out the negative impact of consistent inactivity. Those who sat longer than six hours a day were more likely to die throughout the study than those who sat fewer than three hours.
I'm sure most of you are thinking, "This is all good to know, but my career allows me no other option." That's where you're wrong: The key is to implement at least some movement into each hour. Adopt as many of the following practices as you can:
- Every day, take two five-minute breaks and walk around your building or outside. Not only will that get you moving, it will reenergize your mind -- trust me!
- Stand up and stretch at least once every hour.
- Walk to the break room to fill up a water bottle three times per day. (Hey, you've got to stay hydrated.)
- Talk your boss into replacing all of your desks with so-called "treadmill desks". It's been proven that fit employees are much more productive. (Decision makers will be interested in that little tidbit, guaranteed!)
- Once you get home from work, try to incorporate movement into activities you do with your children. (After all, they've been sitting at desks most of the day, too.) Teach them to be active by example!
- Cook with your kids. Not only will you be able to teach them about great nutrition, but you're also standing, cutting and chopping in the process.
- Teach and play old games. How fun were games like kick the can, flashlight tag and red light/green light?! Teach those games to the next generation!
- Adopt a family hobby. I don't care if it's rock collecting or tennis. Schedule family-hobby time each night! (Take a walk to look for that unique rock; head up to the neighborhood court ....)
- Encourage sports. Initially, you'll be the one to introduce them into your family's itinerary. Guess that means you'd better brush up on your hoops!

I miss my minty hair.
My inbox is full of questions asking about my hair.
I use to have black hair and Ive had black hair for past 4 years so I went to a salon and had them strip all the color off it was a long painful and terrible process. They got my hair to a yellow it wasnt even blonde my hair was fucking yellow. I hated it so I threw burgendy over it and then let it fade which made it turn to a wierd orange.(bad move on my part) I had my hair that way for about 2 months there was nothing I could do to my hair it was so damanged from the bleaching I had done. So in those two months I did a lot of deep conditioning, protein treatments and hot oil treatments. Once my hair was strong enough again I went back to the salon. This time they got my hair to a pale yellow almost platiunum blonde. I also put in a silver toner that helped it along the way.
I also had dyed my hair purple which faded to a nice white/lilac after. Once my hair was at that stage I got my roots touched up and left my hair alone then after a month of waiting I bleached it again which got it to a platinum blonde ( STILL NOT WHITE) and then another couple of months passed and in those 2 months I had blue hair too which later faded to an awesome silver/white. THEN a week ago I touched up my roots ( I leave the bleach in for an hour my natural hair color is black) and during the last 10 minutes I appy bleach to my whole head to remove the silver then rinsed it out. When I rinsed it out my hair was white except for my roots there were a pale yellow so I had to bleach them again to get to white.
SO thats how I got my hair to this state today Ive been bleaching it myself/taking trips to the salon since the beginning of the year its not a easy process and its really hard to do it yourself and I dont recommend you do it all at once your hair will fall out. I touch up my roots every 6 weeks and deep condition my hair once a week and use and intensive repair system by Dove to keep my hair healthy.
& for those of you who want to know what I use at home I use
prism light bleach ( the purple one) it takes out the yellow and orange in your hair if you use the blue packets it makes your hair yellow :x
I mix it with a 40 cream developer its the highest you can buy without a cosmetology licence.
I havent used any toner the past couple of times Ive been able to accomplish white hair without it but Silver lady and white lady by wella work pretty well I like it a lot. I mix those with a 20 cream developer.
I also have used Special Effects toner in my boyfriends hair it works pretty good but if you leave it in for a long time it turns your hair lilac/purple but it washes out after a couple of washes and makes your hair lighter.
also my hair isnt white anymore I dyed it magenta :X
Cats and bubbles
Modeling the hair clips I made yesterday :p
Meow. :3
Put the teal in my hair today.
Hes seriously the best thing thats ever happend to me. <3
Oh and we have matching hair :3

Oblivious Girl3 Reviews
Oblivious. She was oblivious to Brendon's drinking problem for a long time. He must have hid the severity of it from her, because she only noticed him having a drink or two in the evening. She didn't realize that their evening cocktails were just an appetizer for him until she woke up one night, opening her eyes to find other half of the bed empty. Confused, she got up, wandering downstairs. She found him asleep on the sofa, bottle of gin still clutched tightly in his hand. countless other bottles surrounded him. Sarah went and woke Spencer.
"How many bottles?" he asked, after listening to her explain what was going on.
"I don't know, Spence. 6 or 7?" Spencer relaxed. "He'll be fine." Sarah shook her head. "Why is he doing this?" Spencer rolled over, burrowing himself in his quilt. "That's not mine to tell."
Ryan checked his pocket, pulling out his blotters. Nope, they were all still there. He looked back up to the doorway, where a nervous looking Brendon stood. Ryan grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him into his apartment. He closed the door and slammed Brendon into a wall. He wrapped his fingers around Brendon's throat. "Why are you here? I know you don't want me anymore! Leave me alone! I hate you!" he sobbed. The normal, sensible part of Ryan told him that he needed to let go of Brendon's neck or he would kill him. The violent, drug-abused part of his brain told him to hold tighter, which he did. He saw Brendon get a strange look in his eyes and then Brendon leaned forward and pushed his lips into Ryan's. Shocked, Ryan let go of Brendon's neck and tangled his hands in his hair. After a few long moments, Brendon broke away, rasping in breaths. Ryan panted lightly, staring guiltily at the dark bruises forming against Brendon's throat. Once they were both breathing normally, Ryan came and placed his hand gently against Brendon's cheek, who leaned into the touch. "Do you still love me?" Ryan whispered, barely audible. Brendon started to shake his head, stopped, then sighed and nodded. Ryan pushed his lips to Brendon's and they shared a heated moment. Ryan started pulling Brendon to his bedroom. Brendon stopped. "Ry. I have a girlfriend," to which Ryan replied "That's okay. So do I." Brendon giggled and allowed Ryan to pull him into the bedroom and down onto the mattress with him. "Mona Lisa, I missed you," he whispered as Ryan slowly took off his clothes. "I love you too much to let you go," he mumbled. Ryan chuckled. "I tried to kid myself into thinking I was fine. I wasn't." Brendon smiled. "We'll have to be careful." Ryan paused, belt half out of his pants. "Are you suggesting that we-" Brendon shushed him and nodded. "Mona Lisa, wear me out," he said, raising his eyebrows dramatically. Ryan laughed. "With pleasure."

In his cycle of work "Macht und Ritual" (Power and Ritual) the Cologne based photographer Bernd Arnold examines the rites of power from Catholic Church to politics.
Bernd Arnold, born 1961 in Cologne, studied Photography and Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund. Since 1998 he is a member of the photo-agency VISUM. Bernd Arnold lives and works in Cologne.
Peter F. (PF): Bernd, the first Part of the Cycle "Power and Ritual" shows photos from the Night Life and the Half World Environment in Cologne. Compared with later work from the cycle, these photos are more open and friendly. Why is it like that?
Bernd Arnold (BA): Well, honestly I have never seen that. Perhaps the friendlier and opener effect comes from the people in the environment. That is their role as powerful people to exercise their power more directly. In other words, cause and effect are immediately comprehensible. A misdoing in the environment, similar to, for example, in crosswalks it is justified to cross immediately in "a nice and proper manner". The hierarchy is clearly set and transparent for the members of the group.
This seen throughout religion, politics, economy and the media in completely different ways. In these areas the networking of the rituals and power is unclear. Incidentally, there shouldn't be a final plea for the direct exercise of power. I am there rather in the search of structure. The protagonists in Half World Environment are not easily recognizable, since they were also part of the "General" nightlife. Maybe the pictures are more open because I was closer to the subjects. In the politics or religion photos this closeness was manufactured but it was more difficult. Nevertheless I found myself in the observers role.
PF: Did you already have the idea with "Nacht im Milieu" [Night in the Environment] to expand your work to include the large cycle or were you only concerned with the gestures and positions of the half world? How extensive were you?
BA: First I worked with the theater. There I coined and shaped my view of things. I did theater photography at the beginning of my studies in Dortmund. Here I could move around and try out different aesthetics freely and peacefully. But this pulled me into the real world. And this was when the catholic rituals and election campaigns first presented themselves. But I was still unable to see the connection. I than took an interest in social gatherings, events and other guided stagings that were already part of my life. This work would later be the impulse for the topic "Night in the Environment." The first photo in this series was titled "Kölscher Barock" [Cologne Baroque] which referred to the flowing hairstyles of the late 80s. Interestingly enough was the allusion of the title to past social structures.
The deeper sense, which later summarizes the different half world scenes under the term "Eros," originated later with a few color photos in the cycle. Eros is the connecting element within these power fields.
I first became aware of these connections in the mid 90s and put together a small exhibition. In addition I put together a limited edition titled, "Sakrament and Suende" [Sacrament and Sin] which contained groups of 6 photos from the Catholic rituals and the half world environment. At that time it was a daring experiment because Cologne was a major Catholic center.
But the thought of comparing these two rituals did not leave me and I looked for more concurrences between the systems and the connections within the two different power fields. That was actually the starting point of the cycle "Macht und Ritual" [Power and Ritual]. Another part of the cycle was quickly found and I began working on the Television as a substitute for religion project titled "Ist die Erde eine Mattscheibe?" [Is the Earth a Flat Screen?]. At the same time I was busy with the Election Campaign and also the Catholicism, which developed into "Das Kölner Heil" [The Cologne Welfare].
I started the last part of the cycle which was over the economy with the economic peaks. With the title, "Macht und Ritual" [Power and Ritual] I united for the first time in 2001 a portion of the pictures into the group exhibition, "Denk ich an Deutschland" at the international photo festival in Herten.
Later 77 pictures as the completed cycle were shown with the exhibition at the Prager Castle.
PF: The figures in "Kölner Heil" [Cologne Welfare] and also in "Wahlkampfrituale" [Election Campaign Rituals] are petrified and dehumanized in a hard black-and-white contrast. Why this strong denial of the human in the institutions from the church and parties?
BA: I think, for me it started out around the structure within social groups, my relationship to this and at first it was less focused around the human proximity. I was around humans who were functioning as part of the ritual to stay in power. In addition, the abstracting and reducing effects of black-and-white photography is actually well suitable. The authentic traces of the time remain despite the abstraction.
I am really inspired by Roland Barthes's, Camera Lucida, and the semiotic Umberto Eco's. The connection of "punctum" with the meanings of the signs (semiosis) plays a large role in the cycle for me. One can experience a lot from the indication of the movements, body attitudes and hands, along with the emotions of the human. And also in the faces there is a particular relationship towards the power each person holds. A good example of this are the pictures of the German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who in 1998 was the sunny guy in the media. He was celebrated and published again and again for his slogan (somewhat similar to Obama's slogan.) For me I had a very different picture of him, I saw a eager and determined fighting politician, who wanted absolute power. And in his face one is able to see this emotion. Thus the body motions and the human face are a central aspect of my work. What is also interesting is that the pictures over the years and the starting of a new part of the series has brought darker and darker pictures.
PF: "Nacht in Milieu" [Night in the Environment] shows pictures from a half world, which normally remains invisible. On the other hand, "Ist die Erde eine Mattscheibe?" [Is the Earth a Flat Screen?] presents the television world in a manner which overwhelms us with a flood of artificial pictures. "Das Kölner Heil" [Cologne Welfare] and "Wahlkampfrituale" [Election Campaign Rituals] reveal age-old principles of power. Put together, this gloomy cycle looks like a request to put the functioning way of our world or our state in question. How does the world of Bernd Arnold work? Does he believe in conspiracy theories?
BA: No, not at all. I see rather the interaction of different currents, which form at certain times depending on the people and than fall apart. Rather like the flow of rituals and power. For this reason Christoph Schaden had placed a beautiful quotation of Michel Foucault in front with the description of Power and Rituals: "Power is something that one acquires, takes away, divides, which one retains or loses; power is something that carries out itself from innumerable points from and in the play of unequal and mobile relations."
It is no coincidence that this cycle developed when it did, it was when the communist system broke down, which than became the unrestrained western government system after the loss of it's antipode and it is now in the middle of these radical changes. It is actually a very exciting time and it already can be that the functionality of our world and it's states is in the position of answering the questions. Thus, I see myself rather as an attentive and critical observer of my surroundings and the appearances of power. It is interesting to see how it will change with only a surface deep perspective.
PF: Can you tell us a little about how your work is perceived? When I read in the exhibition list that "Macht und Ritual" [Power and Ritual] was shown in 2007 at the Federal State Representation Rhineland-Palatinate in Berlin, the question about how effective your work is, arrises. What can photography still achieve?
BA: That was very exciting for me. Because it was rather improbable that "Macht und Ritual" [Power and Ritual] would be issued there. But in the mean time the suspicion struck me that the cycle looks for places by itself. Because I find the Prager Castle, a center for power and the arsenal museum in Cologne, a former weapons chamber, a remarkable similarity. The second thought is that it is a relief that this sort of thing is possible today and part of the reason can be due to today's society.
Another important experience during the work was shown in Tokyo and in Prague was that the visitors understood my point of view. This is probably the advantage of the cross-cultural characteristic of the picture.
I am unable to say how effective my photography has been. But I am able to talk about the effect other photographers have had on me. They leave traces on me. They share new perceptions that affect my views on life. And pictures from the mass media have a much greater effect. The interesting part of this is the connection of the unintentional synchronizing of the pictures which occurs today in the mass media. In the course of the financial crisis and the extensive economies of the publishing companies that come along with it, the contemporary social-political developments are only depicted by a hand full of photo agencies that use very similar pictures.
PF: You work as a freelance photographer in the fields of News/Portrait/Travel/Reportage and you represent the agency Visum. Is there a place of contact between your contract work and your freelance work, or are these separate worlds?
BA: There is and will always be points of contact and these have been always important to me. Many of the photos from the cycle cover the same topics as the contract work for the Stern, the Taz, or DIE ZEIT, but some parts I have commissioned or did freelance work for the exhibitions. For example, "Wahlkampfrituale" [Election Campaign Rituals] and "Wirtschaftsgipfel" [Economic Summit]. These were exhibited at the Kölner Van Der Grinten Gallery and it was updated with new photos throughout the exhibition duration. I wanted to put the editorial thoughts into a gallery. The idea was to put recent news photos into a gallery shortly after they were taken. And it was exciting to see the invitations for the private showing sent out, even though there were no photos. That was when we felt the pressure.
I move between the worlds of art, journalism and advertisement. And the paradox was that this opens a certain freedom on the view of things to me. Throughout this perpetual change of starting situations, I am again and again placed in situations where I must consider my work. I was forced to keep only photos that fit with my photographic style. It is exciting to see how the utilization connection affected my work. It also sharpened my point of view.
PF: You are still continuing to work on the cycle. In this super election year of 2009, it is naturally a year for your "Wahlkampfrituale" [Election Campaign Rituals]. Is the range of topics of this cycle enough for you, or is it conceivable that there are still further topics to cover such as something in the range of economics?
BA: I had found all the topics for the cycle in 2004 – or at least I think I have. But however, there are an innumerable amount of topics that can be covered. The economy will be an emphasis for me, I already have pictures of it and new ideas are already crystalizing. In 2005 I photographed the election campaign again and 2009 I will do so as well. Surprisingly, with this year's election campaign I will have photographed over 25 years of elections, from Willy Brandt to Angela Merkel. This is an exciting journey due to the changing rituals of the campaign.
In the 80s, as it was in the first decades of the German democracy, one was able to get very close to the politician. Standing on stage to photograph a speech being given for example by Oskar Lafontaine, would be almost impossible to do today. Nowadays there are many obstacles in the way and a photographer standing next to Angela Merkel on stage would only be a distraction. It is nearly a manner of feudalism, when the politicians and their gang move into the hall and the reporters as representatives for the mass media adore and idolize them.
And there is still another cycle, which is very similar to the "Macht und Ritual" [Power and Ritual]. The series is over the pedestrian zones "Die Zone" [The Zone], which is the second part of the series "Das Portal" [The Portal]. The third part is still on the horizon. I don't know exactly where the journey is leading me, but it is an extremely exciting journey none the less.
PF: Thank you for the interview.
Best thanks to Scott Hudson for the translation.
