Wedding: 11/11/2011
I was recently married in November, and I used Terrington Films as my videographer. I wasn't sure if I even needed a videographer at first, but I'm SO GLAD I booked them! I don't think people realize how wonderful and modernized videography is these days... and how it's just as important as photography. They create an actual personalized movie that brings tears to your eyes! Kevin & Gina were so professional & so easy to work with. The quality of their product is unbelievable. I just got my wedding video back (so quickly!!!) and I am in awe! I cry every time I watch it. I'm so grateful to them for this special memory. When I see everyone in our movie & when I hear all of the songs, the feelings & memories start flowing. It is so beautiful & special to me and my new hubby! Thank you for that, Kevin & Gina! Y'all are truly amazing! :)
Wedding: 5/4/2013
I was a tad apprehensive about having a videographer because I am super awkward when I know someone is videoing me, but Kevin and his wife, Gina, had me feeling completely at ease. They blended into the background, and, while they were always there, I didn't ever feel as if someone was constantly shoving a camera in my face. They had so many great ideas when we were getting ready beforehand! I loved them! I haven't received my film yet, as my wedding was only a couple weeks ago, but if their past work is anything to go by, I'm sure it'll be great! I'll post an update when I get it!
Wedding: 12/1/2012
I truly don't have the right words to describe how absolutely amazing Terrington films is! Kevin and Gina are by far the BEST people to work with in the wedding industry! They capture every perfect moment on film and allow you to relive those moments by the simple push of a button! They cater to your needs and really get to know you before shooting your film so that they can produce a film that truly hits home! They were the very first people I booked after being engaged! Once I saw their work I was 110% sure I had to have them! It was such a joy to have them be a part of my big day! They don't make you do anything uncomfortable and really take charge in the least pushy or noticeable way! They are like family to my husband and I now and we are so grateful that we found them! I suggest going to look at their highlights on terringtonfilms.com . The highlights are amazing, but the finished product is every girls dream! Thanks again Kevin and Gina for giving us such a treasure!
Wedding: 10/19/2013
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHER EVER! A must have for wedding day! Words cannot express how thankful I am to Kevin and Gina. You both were very patient, excellent listeners and advice givers, so talented and creative. My daughter,Courtney,actually cried when Kevin showed her samples of his work with other couple's trailers and videos. Thanks for being there to capture such a magical amazing day!
Wedding: 9/8/2012
Where to begin with Kevin and Gina... One word, Amazing!! Seriously, I felt so comfortable and just happy that they were there to capture my day. Kevin's creativity and Gina's thoughtfulness were so refreshing. Long talks about my vision with Kevin made me feel like my good friends were filming my wedding instead of people I hired!! I haven't gotten my video because I JUST got married, but I have no doubt in my mind its going to be phenomenal. I'm so glad I had them capture my special day
Wedding: 5/20/2012
Kevin Terrington is the most awesome videographer in New Orleans. He's a genius!! Everyone that watched my wedding trailer said that it made them want to get married. I would definitely recommend him to any bride. He has a great funny personality and high quality work. I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Terrington Films and he was worth every penny.

FIG1 The patients' rights
movement suffered a severe setback last month when the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled unanimously that patients do not have a right to sue their HMO in state
court, even if they suffered harm as the result of a decision the HMO made
about their medical care.
Renée Binder, M.D.: "The decision is a blow to the cause of
patients' rights."
The Court sided with the insurance and managed care industries, which
argued that the 1974 federal Employment Retirement Income Security Act,
commonly referred to as ERISA, limited lawsuits by insurance beneficiaries to
federal courts only. Patients' rights advocates objected to this
interpretation because federal courts limit the amount of monetary damages
plaintiffs can receive in ERISA-based suits, since patients are barred from
suing for compensatory damages and limited to recovery of the insurance
payments themselves.
"The decision is a blow to the cause of patients' rights," said
Renée Binder, M.D., past chair of the APA Committee on Judicial Action."
Managed care organizations ended up the winners" and will
continue to have the power to decide which medical treatments they will pay
for and which they will refuse to cover.
APA had joined the AMA and the Texas Medical Association (the suits
originated in Texas) in an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the two patients
who filed suit. The briefs called on the Court to rule that health plans can
be held liable for what is essentially malpractice in the same way physicians
Lawsuits brought by two health plan beneficiaries were combined when they
reached the Supreme Court level, since the key issue was identical, though the
details of the cases varied (Psychiatric News, March 5).
In one suit a patient sued Aetna Health Inc., and in the other the
defendant was Cigna Healthcare of Texas. In the former case, the insurer
substituted a prescription drug for the one chosen by the patient's physician,
and serious medication-related side effects ensued. In the latter case, the
patient allegedly suffered harm when the insurer overruled a physician's
judgment on the required length of a hospital stay in conjunction with a
The two patients sued under the terms of the Texas Health Care Liability
Act, a powerful piece of patients' rights legislation that became law in 1997,
though then-governor George W. Bush declined to sign the bill. The law grants
patients the right to sue in state court when they maintain that their health
plan made a medical-necessity decision that resulted in harm. The law, along
with those in nine other states, equates such cases with medical-malpractice
ones, which are the jurisdiction of state courts.
Ironically, though Bush cited this bill during his 2000 presidential
campaign as evidence of his strong support for patients' rights, his
administration joined the insurance industry in urging the high court to rule
against the Texas law's legitimacy.
ERISA placed employee benefit programs within the purview of the federal
government so that companies that operate in more than one state would not be
subject to a variety of laws and regulations. It was enacted long before
managed care was a gleam in insurers' eyes and was designed to cover just
pension benefit plans.
In the ensuing decades HMOs and other health plans came to rely on ERISA to
protect them from lawsuits based on what they contend are coverage-related
rather than medical-necessity decisions. The Supreme Court has now validated
this interpretation.
"Almost everyone in our society who commits a negligent act can be
held responsible for the consequences of his or her negligence," said
Paul Appelbaum, M.D., chair of the APA Council on Psychiatry and Law and
former APA president. "Among the few exceptions are insurers and HMOs,
who have been insulated from liability by the Court's interpretation of the
federal ERISA law."
He emphasized that "potential liability for negligence is usually
thought of as providing an incentive to people and organizations to behave
reasonably, so as not to harm others. HMOs and other insurers continue to face
no deterrent to arbitrary denials of payment for care."
Karen Ignani, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, the
trade organization that represents the managed care industry, hailed last
month's ruling as "a victory for consumers and employers who otherwise
faced the prospect of higher health care costs without added benefit. The
ruling puts the brakes on efforts by trial lawyers to turn every question
about the scope of an individual's coverage into a costly lawsuit."
Families USA, a nonprofit organization that advocates on behalf of health
care consumers, had a very different take from Ignani on the ruling's
implications. Its executive director, Ron Pollack, said the decision "is
a big step backward for insured patients seeking quality care."
Pollack stated that it "takes HMOs off the hook from any liability
when they deny needed health care—even when improper denials have tragic
The high court's June 21 decision stemmed from a ruling by the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals that in enacting ERISA Congress's intent was to protect
beneficiaries from having insurers breach the terms of benefit contracts.
Congress did not see ERISA as a way to preempt state-level lawsuits arising
from allegations of negligent care on the part of health plans, the appeals
court ruled in upholding the Texas law.
The decision inAetna Health Inc., fka Aetna U.S.

Deion, Irvin believe in BillsPosted by on September 15, 2014 – 1:17 pm
NFL Network analysts, and Hall of Famers, Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin like what they've seen from the Bills over the first two weeks of the season. Here was their take on Buffalo's 2-0 start to the 2014 campaign.
"The Buffalo Bills, they have two running backs that are very capable, they have a receiver now that's off the charts, they have a quarterback who's learning," said Sanders. "But defensively these guys are winning on that side of the ball. I feel like that's why the Buffalo Bills are 2-0. I like them. I like them."
"They've got a nice, young, talented team that they can have for a while to develop," said Irvin.

NFL Network special on Andre Reed ThursdayPosted by on July 30, 2014 – 9:00 pm
The NFL Network has put together one-hour specials on all the Hall of Fame inductees for the 2014 class. The special on Andre Reed airs Thursday. Here are the details.
Called 'The Road to Canton' the series will feature former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed starting at 10:00 PM ET on Thursday, July 31.
The title of the special is called 'Middle Man: Andre Reed'. The one-hour special features footage of Andre Reed as a high school quarterback, his transition to becoming a speedy and reliable wide receiver at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, and his consistent play from the slot in the NFL.
Reed was referred to being too small to have an impact in playing football until his senior year of high school. During his senior season, the Allentown, Pennsylvania native became the starting quarterback at Deiruff High School. The future NFL fourth round draft pick was at one point a tremendous talent in the Division II Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.
Andre was regarded by his coaches and teammates for his work ethic and desire for excellence. He made his mark by going across the middle from the slot and turning short passes up field for major yardage after the catch.
Once solidified in the NFL, Reed contributed to a Buffalo Bills team that made four straight Super Bowl appearances with fellow Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, James Lofton and Bruce Smith. Even though they could never capture a ring, these players formed a family bond that exists to this day.
Middle Man chronicles those experiences for Andre Reed and also shows the story of how and why he attributes his success in life and the NFL to the values taught to him by his father who battled alcoholism throughout his life.
Middle Man features interviews with special people from Andre Reed's life:
• Marv Levy – Bills coach
• Thurman Thomas, James Lofton, Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett, Steve Tasker and Frank Reich – Bills teammates
• Joyce Reed Ebling – Mother
• Tyrone, Teshia and Dion Reed – Siblings
• Larry Lewis – High School Football Coach

C.J. on importance of run gamePosted by on July 22, 2014 – 2:49 pm
The run game was Buffalo's bread and butter on offense as they ran more than any other team in the league and finished second in rushing yards per game. Blessed with the additional talents of Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon, the Bills ground attack is as deep as it's ever been. So just how critical will the Bills run game be to the team's success this season. C.J. Spiller had an answer for that one.
In an appearance on NFL AM on NFL Network Tuesday, Spiller believes the run game will again be carrying the offense in 2014.
"I think it's going to be very important," said Spiller. "I think it's going to take a lot of pressure off E.J. [Manuel]. I think if we have our running game going, he'll feel more comfortable relying on that. Instead of having him, going out there saying, 'Hey E.J., we need you to throw the ball.' It's going to be very important to make sure that our running game is going on early and late in the season. It's going to be exciting. The offensive line is going to jell together and hopefully we'll have another great rushing year."

Spiller on change needed for division gamesPosted by on July 22, 2014 – 2:46 pm
The Bills have found it hard to compete for a division title in the AFC East as New England has largely ruled the division for the better part of the last dozen years. Buffalo usually plays all their division opponents tough, until some unfortunate play happens and the floodgates seem to open. C.J. Spiller knows what has to change to reverse that trend.
In an appearance on NFL AM on NFL Network this morning, Spiller addressed what the Bills need to do to truly contend in the AFC East.
"If you go back and look at those games, we always play all those teams close," Spiller said. "Obviously, sooner or later, [they] kind-of get out of hand. Against those type of teams, you can't make mistakes. That's the thing that's been killing us against [those] teams is that we make mistakes and it's hard for us to bounce back. So if we can minimize them, I think we have a chance of competing as one of the top [teams] in the AFC. I'm looking forward to it. Still a lot of work needs to be done. We still have to go out there and play the games."

NFL Network analysts have high hopes for BillsPosted by on July 19, 2014 – 2:31 pm
With the Bills poised to open training camp first in the league the NFL Network put their talking heads to work in predicting whether or not Buffalo can contend in the AFC East. One of the analysts was former Bill Shawne Merriman.
Merriman pointed to how they do outside the division as for how much they can contend for the postseason. Solomon Wilcotts puts it on EJ as for the team's fortunes. And Cameron Jordan likes the defense. Here's a look at their analysis.

King: NFL to air HOF presentationsPosted by on January 31, 2014 – 11:20 am
According to MMQB columnist Peter King, a Hall of Fame Selector, the NFL will be airing the presentations made by Selectors for each of the 15 Hall of Fame finalists up for possible enshrinement as members of the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
King wrote the following in his column Friday.
The NFL plans to film and air the presenters in 2014, allowing cameras in the room for the first time. Writers originally bristled at the prospect of airing any portion of the meeting publicly, but they have largely accepted the intrusion so long as it is confined to the presentations and not the ensuing discussion.
That means that Buffalo News reporter Mark Gaughan's presentation and case for Andre Reed's enshrinement will be aired. King does not give details as to when these presentations will be aired, or if they will be aired live, but it's assumed they will be broadcast on NFL Network at some point. We'll pass along a time when the coverage begins if and when we get word.
Here is a list of the 46 Hall of Fame Selectors.

Tuel time dependent on EJ's healthPosted by on September 2, 2013 – 12:19 pm
EJ Manuel was out on the practice field for a second straight day Monday, certainly a good sign concerning his availability for the season opener against New England. Head coach Doug Marrone said he'll make a decision on Wednesday. So until then undrafted rookie and backup Jeff Tuel will have to wait to see if in fact he'll be the guy starting Sunday.
Appearing on NFL Network's NFL AM show, Tuel explained how he's handling the unknown.
"It's tough because it's the coach's decision, and a lot of it is on EJ [Manuel] and how he's feeling as well," said Tuel. "It's not so much in my hands; I'm just doing what I can control and doing the best to my abilities. I'll just leave it at that, leave it in coach's hands."

NFL Net's Heath Evans-"Tie goes to EJ"Posted by on July 31, 2013 – 5:35 pm
When the national NFL writers and reporters visit Bills camp this summer, the number one story line will be the quarterback battle between veteran Kevin Kolb and rookie EJ Manuel.
And for one NFL Network analyst, if the race is close, the rookie should get the edge.
Former Dolphins, Patriots and Saints Fullback Heath Evans was at Bills camp this week watching the team work out. He appeared on The John Murphy Show Tuesday night, to talk about the quarterback battle.
"What I saw today was that if the race is even, the tie goes to EJ," Evans said on the radio show. "They (the Bills) make moves to get this kid, and they kind of surprised the world that this was the one that they wanted in the first round. We'll see what they'll do, but if I was picking a week one starter today, both here and with the Jets, I'm taking the rookies."
Evans visited the Jets camp Monday, the day before he saw the Bills, and came away impressed with New York rookie QB Geno Smith. But he likes Manuel a lot. Host John Murphy asked Evans if the Bills might be asking too much of Manuel, to take over the quarterback reins right away.
"I don't think so," Evans replied. "Drive down I-95 and see Miami, and what Ryan Tannehill was able to do last year in this division. You want to see more touchdowns from Ryan and maybe a few less interceptions, but that was a quarterback with far less college experience playing quarterback (than Manuel) and yet was able to walk into this division and play some really good football."

NFL Net analyst says Bills camp more physical than JetsPosted by on July 31, 2013 – 4:45 pm
NFL Network analyst Heath Evans was one of several national NFL reporters who made a visit to Bills camp in Pittsford this week. And the former fullback for the Dolphins, Patriots, and Saints says after visiting the Bills and Jets camp on back to back days, there's no question which camp features more physical play.
Appearing on The John Murphy Show Tuesday night, Evans said he was in the Jets camp watching practice Monday, and then watched the Bills work out Tuesday morning.
"The physical tempo was totally different here, you guys get the edge there," Evans said on the radio show. "The physical prowess of the team was totally different."
"I didn't hear any pads popping at all at the Jets camp," Evans told host John Murphy. "Here at Bills camp, I heard Coach Marrone yelling, 'Stay off the ground, stay off the ground,' because guys are getting too physical for the first day of pads. You'd much rather have your team too physical as opposed to too soft."

Fans vote EJ likely to start most as rookiePosted by on July 23, 2013 – 10:05 am
Bills rookie QB EJ Manuel was part of a poll by NFL Network that asked which rookie quarterback will start the most games in 2013?
Manuel won by a landslide over the Jets' Geno Smith, the Eagles Matt Barkley and Tampa Bay's Mike Glennon. Manuel grabbed nearly two-thirds of the vote (64.8%) with Smith a distant second with 27 percent.
Fans that voted are likely Bills fans eager to see what Manuel has to offer or believe he'll win the starting job out of training camp, while others might be unfairly taking Kevin Kolb's track record of injuries into account.

Stevie elaborates on new workout regimenPosted by on March 6, 2013 – 10:38 am
He was hesitant to get into it after all the ruckus that was raised when he previously mentioned that his offseason workout regimen consisted of playing basketball and running, but appearing on the NFL Network's NFL AM program Wednesday, Stevie Johnson elaborated on just how he's changed things up with his offseason training this winter.
"I think every player knows their body," he said. "I'm scared to even answer the question now. Ever since high school I never really lifted weights, it was playing basketball and doing cardio running. That's how I would beat DBs by doing basketball moves. I never missed a game or anything. But with this new coach coming in, I've had 1,000 yards, 1,000 yards and 1,000 yards, but how come I'm not getting 1,200 or 13? So let me do this full workout, this full NFL regimen. So I came out here and I'm working and I'm feeling good right now."
Johnson is working with Travelle Gaines at Athletic Gaines, which also has San Diego RB Ryan Mathews, Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch, San Francisco S Dashon Goldson as clients.
"It's crazy doing the things that we do," he said. "It's nothing that's going to kill you, but it's mostly core and stability and getting your legs stronger. I'm going there after this to get it in again."
The new offseason regimen has Johnson excited about how ready he'll be for Buffalo's offseason conditioning program, which begins next month.
"I go back in April and I'll be around and doing what coach (Marrone) tells me to," he said. "I'm all in."

Business Dinner - looking for great food & vibrant atmosphere - not looking for a corporate feel
I am not from the area and looking for a business dinner location in Manhattan. These are clients - but also friends - only one of which lives in NYC (but does not get out as much as he would like). Looking for a place with great atmosphere and excellent food - nothing stuffy. Can be pricey, but would prefer to stay around $100/pp (NOT including alcohol). Dinner will be Monday, Dec. 17 around 6:30 PM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My husband had had great business dinner experiences at Zio. Great food, nice atmosphere and they are welcoming to business diners. You can even let them know ahead that it is a business dinner and they will set you up at a table conducive to such a dinner.
Eat at Colicchio and Sons, make your reservation and sit in the bar area. Last time I ate there, they had key lime dounuts and coconut ice cream! And everyone can walk around the High Line and go in Chelsea Market before. Then go to the Tippler for drinks afterwards.
If I were hosting business dinners of that description I'd go to Sushi Samba as often as I could. Tell the waiter you want a mix of meat and fish and let the chef design a meal for you. That way you can just enjoy the time with your clients and friends. It's definitely not corporate but the tables aren't on top of each other so you can get some privacy.
re: nokitchen
You've got to be kidding me. As I once psted here: "[Sushi Samba is] tacky, inauthentic, chain-style, pseudo Japanese cum nightclub circa 1997, frequented by women in knockoff Louboutins and men still in Ed Hardy type long sleeve t-shirts.
But hey - the OP knows the clients best. Does that sound like their sort of place?
re: thegforceny
At 10:30 on a Friday I'd agree with you. At 6:30 on a Monday they've got fun, slightly different but still approachable food, something everyone at the table will like, good service, large tables for the party size, a volume level which is conducive to a business pitch.
I've only been to the 7th Ave location; maybe that's better.
re: Blumie
3 people. Thanks!
Hold it, this Monday? That's really short notice for reservations! I was going to suggest Kyo Ya, if they like Japanese food, but I really doubt you could get in (assuming they're open on Monday, which I'd have to check - many restaurants take Monday off).
I think you should see what's available on Open Table and let us know.
re: Pan
Kyo Ya is a great restaurant, I agree that it would be tough getting a reservation, but certainly worth a try. Better by calling than with Open Table, sometimes they can figure out how to squeeze you in.
However, all that being said, the OP does not specify type of food liked or disliked. The OP doesn't say what "nice atmosphere" means. To me, it can mean lively, or comfortable quiet. Kyo Ya is quiet. Aqua Grill also moderately quiet is a good casual place. The Sushi Samba recommendation, is loud and "active". The skewers and ceviche dishes are the only thing I would eat there. The sushi is not good.( i'm being kind).
Greenwich Grill is a nice place. Not sure if Babbo would work, but by memory $100 pp should be good.
You might want to consider Marea.
Excellent seafood/wonderful pastas. The room is handsome and the address is good (Central Park South). Go with the $97 prix fixe and you'll hit your price point.

Sep 21, 2010
The (Memphis, Tenn.) Commercial Appeal: "For many consumers, the changes won't take effect until their health plans are renewed. Most plans renew on Jan. 1. … But Thursday's changes have important finer points. Annual-limits restrictions may apply only to big-ticket items, such as hospitalization, but not to smaller ones, such as durable medical equipment — wheelchairs, for instance. And though that 25-year-old is welcomed back to his parents' plan even if he's married, his parents' plan can't cover his dependents and he isn't eligible for his parents' plan if his employer already offers insurance" (Sells, 9/21).
KCUR (Kansas City, Mo.) interviewed Ron Pollack, head of consumer advocacy group Families USA. Pollack said: "I don't know of anybody, including people like myself who are supporters of this legislation, who say this is perfect. I don't know of too many things that go through a legislative process that are perfect. It is a product of compromise. What I like to remind people about is, when you ask what you think is the most significant piece of legislation that was passed in the United States in our history, on everyone's list — whether it's one, two, three or ten — will be the Social Security Act of 1935. And what people don't remember or know is that when the Social Security Act passed in 1935, it didn't include farmer workers. It didn't include teachers. It didn't include domestic laborers. It excluded over half the women in the workforce. It excluded over two thirds of the people of color in the work force. Well, it created a foundation, and over the years since 1935 improvements have been made so the problems I just described no longer exist" (Gordon, 9/20).
The (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union: Still other caveats to the new restrictions on insurer practices. "Employer-based plans created before the reform law are 'grandfathered' in and won't have to follow many of the new consumer-friendly rules. Those plans don't have to comply until they make certain policy changes, such as raising employee co-pays and deductibles; otherwise, they can wait until Jan. 1, 2014, when most of the act's provisions take effect" (Cox, 9/20).

Drawing Conclusions - Creating an Animated Short for Live Action Feature Film
I've directed different types of film projects in an effort to gain experience and I have to admit, it's all very exciting. As I've mentioned previously, my team and I have recently finished a short film with a good amount of VFX (CGI) titled, Among the Innocent. That short is in the hands of film festival programmers as I write this entry. What we're currently working on though is something completely out of my comfort zone and it's refreshing. After several years of telling violent stories with severe endings I'm starting to move into an area of storytelling that has a lot more depth. That's not to say violent stories don't or can't have depth but I'm more interested in using violence as an ingredient rather than the crux of a story like I have in the past. Not to mention I would like to make people laugh.
The film we're in production for is titled Wine, Women, and Cognac which is an animated short film made for our live action feature film, Old Man in France, currently in development. The illustration was completed by Michael Wohlberg and is being animated by Jason Melcher and Geoff Morris. So far the progress has been steady and the results are definitely impressive. I've never directed a short film in this medium before so I have to take some time to gather my thoughts before making decisions which in itself is a lot of fun. Thinking about where a viewer's eyes will follow, making sure the action isn't cluttered, maintaining a sense of naturalism, and keeping the charm of the characters right now are my highest priorities. I hope to make an audience laugh with this film as they watch a young man travel through Europe, have a sense of regret as they understand his life wasn't as glamorous as he implied, and finally with hope as well as optimism in the final frames as they realize there's plenty more of his life to live.
After the animation is complete our next move will be to finish sound design, procure a score, and also cast and record voice over actors. I wish these things were as simple as it was to write that sentence but it's unfortunately not. I've been fairly picky when it comes to musical scores recently and it's done me a world of good. Since that's the trend I tend to keep up, I'll be listening to a lot of pieces of music to choose from and then my producer, Christine McDermott, will secure the licensing. We've posted an ad for voice over actors with many replies but no results. I honestly hate the process of casting because that's usually when you witness someone butcher what you've created but it does eventually lead to the right person, so obviously it's all worth it.
When completed our intention is to use the short film to promote our feature film. We'll be not only submitting to film festivals like we always have but also release it online to gain the maximum amount of exposure. We hope to capture the essence of Old Man in France in the short and have that carry over into interest for funding it. This is also new to me as I've never made a short for feature film before so hopefully the plan works. Either way I'm extremely excited about Old Man in France and to be bringing those characters to life in Wine, Women, and Cognac. It's a strange yet fulfilling thing to write a story, live with it for so long, and then to see it all playing out before you. I'm crossing my fingers that this short film leaves the viewer with a smile on their face (I think it will). So far looking for feature funding has been an uphill battle but our game plan is to cover as many bases as we can while maintaining the level of quality that all of those aspects require.
Right now feels like the perfect time to take our filmmaking to the next level and focus on a project that we're very passionate about. In doing so we're creating Wine, Woman, and Cognac and expanding our experience into animation which I couldn't feel better about. I hope taking this leap we will win over hearts and minds well enough to be able to create Old Man in France as a live action feature film. I don't think I've ever written something that I've felt so passionately about. I think one of the reasons is that I've never done anything that has comprised such a range of human emotion. I'm proud of this script and I'm extremely excited for Wine, Women, and Cognac to give a window to the world of Old Man in France.

Among the Innocent (Short Film) - There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them…
Among the Innocent (Short Film) "There are no innocent bystanders in Hell." New blog post by @Mansfield_Louis http://louismansfield.tumblr.com/ #shortfilm #director #indiefilm #VFX
My dad was in the Air force when I was a kid so growing up I lived on several military bases throughout the country and one in Germany. One of those bases was March Air Force Base (now called March Air Reserve Base) in Riverside, CA and I went to Arnold Heights Elementary School which was located on the base. I remember it all so vividly, if I rode my bike about a mile down to the end of the street there was a baseball field where I played first base for the Padres in little league. We had a base swimming pool where I spent most of my summers and there was one particular field near my friend's house where we played football. I remember having a huge front and back yard and after dinner I would sometimes go out and throw a baseball up in the air and catch it until the sun went down. I also learned how to ride a bike at March Air Force Base, I remember realizing that my mom's hand wasn't holding my seat any longer and that I was riding on my own. I really liked March Air Force Base a lot. We didn't have a huge house but I didn't know the difference. It was nice all of the time and I was a kid.
It was at this time that Operation Desert Storm was happening and I was afraid that my dad would have to leave. The kids in my class were worried for their fathers as well. I thought it was clever to say "Saddam Insane" and I would play with my toys while the news covered the events. My parents assured me that my dad wasn't going anywhere because he was in the Military Police (MP) and that his job was to protect the base. I thought that was cool but I don't think I fully understood. I didn't realize that the fighting would stay in Iraq. We had attacked them so it was only natural that they would retaliate and my dad was here to protect us. My parents reassured me that I was safe and that we had nothing to worry about. Even still I think about staring out my bedroom window looking out to the sky imagining about what I saw on the news happening in my own backyard. Jets and tanks were cool to me and we were the good guys. My parents said everything was going to be okay so it all felt like a movie or a video game. I think about a particular moment in time where I have a memory of being in my room, looking out the widow, and thinking…what if it isn't okay?
Last year I saw the films Melancholia and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas around the same time and they got me thinking. I thought about the end of the world caused by military action and being a little boy during it all. I thought about being on March Air Force Base in Riverside CA, Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS, McGuire Air Force Base in Burlington County, NJ, and even Ramstein Air Force Base in Kaiserslatern, Germany. I thought about that little boy who believed his parents that everything will be okay and that we were the good guys. A little boy that thought jets, missiles, and tanks were cool so it was all like the movies. But what if it wasn't okay? What if something horrible happened? What if the fight had come to my home? The older we get the more aware of what's happening in the world around us. Some things we agree with and some things we don't. We trust that we're the good guys but it's only logical to think that our enemy thinks that they're the good guys as well. What if there was a little boy in Iraq that thought that they were the good guys but everything wasn't okay for him? He didn't have anything to do with Operation Desert Storm and neither did I. He didn't invade Kuwait; we were just kids trying to figure out what is happening around us. We wanted to play with friends and learn to ride bicycles. We didn't have any influence on anything happening yet we were directly affected by it. I was on the side that didn't have any bombs dropped on it but what if I had been? And even still, what about the innocent children on the other side?
These ideas and memories have materialized in a short film that I wrote and directed titled Among the Innocent. Instead of a little boy though the main character is a little girl and instead of everything being okay, the situation is the worst case scenario. Chaos disrupts a city caught in the middle of an ambiguous military conflict and panic consumes the population. A mother attempts to hold her family together and while preparing for the worst her children play. Her daughter, Bella, has her dolls dance to a tune of a music box she received as a gift from her father who is away serving his country. As the situation worsens Bella, along with her mother and brother, are confronted with total annihilation. Just as I imagined that I could have been a casualty of war in the unlikely chance that the fighting had come to March Air Force Base, the reality is that there have been innocent children who have lost their lives as a result of military conflict around the world. I understand that war is a complicated issue but no matter how involved, I feel that children should never be collateral damage. I've thought about this intently and at length because for a brief moment in my naive childhood understanding, before my parents could reassure me, I thought that I was in danger. And to think that someone just like me, only in a different country, was in very real danger, well, it saddened me as well as inspired me to tell a story from the perspective of a vulnerable child who has nothing to do with war but is confronted by it anyway.

"My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness." - Sharing Short Films
I watch a lot of short films and some of you might have noticed that I've been putting together lists of short films that I've seen. These films come from Vimeo's Staff Picks,Short of the Week, clicking around on the internet, and from friends who send me cool shorts to watch. Mostly I watch shorts because I make them and I want to know what other people are doing. Some films are good to OK and some are just incredible. When I say incredible I mean mind blowing top quality high production value just as good as features amazing cinema. Even if the story isn't completely there the look and feel of most of these shorts raises the bar of what filmmakers should and need to be accomplishing.
Not many people watch short films and I'm not really sure of why. I don't know if they think they won't be watching something worth their time but to be honest I don't even know what the means when there's so much crap being watched on TV. If anything I think shorts are more engaging and thought provoking than reality TV or sitcoms but then again thought provoking might not be what those viewers want. I don't really know. Either way I'm convinced there is an audience that might not know shorts are something they would really be into. This is one of the reasons I've been putting some short films together to see if anyone is interested with the hope that people might get turned onto something they like. With all of the borderline animosity towards feature films and blatant cynicism, short films might be a remedy for those apprehensive about "wasting" an hour and a half on a film they didn't like.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather be making feature films but they cost a lot of money and time. A lot of feature films take years of development before heading into pre-production. Let's say for the sake of argument that a film took three years of development and then after that time found the budget they needed to shoot. Since 3.5 million is still a low budget film we'll go with that number. So three years of development for a film now worth millions of dollars to make, the project goes into production and through post. Now the film needs to make that money back obviously so it needs to appeal to an audience that will go and see it. Well, that doesn't always happen so after years of hard work for a film worth money in the millions it's performance can be determined in a couple of months after it's released. Critics fire off there reviews influencing people to either watch or steer clear, so something that took so much to make can be easily dismissed in a blink of an eye. To me, that's a very shitty position to have to be in but at the same time that's how things work. So short films do make a lot of sense artistically but they don't make much money if any at all.
Currently I think I have a couple more short films in me that I'm working on finishing along with my partners and I definitely think that watching as many shorts as I have has been inspiring. I hope other people watch the films that I've posted and start to scratch the surface of what the medium has to offer. For me, I'd rather watch a short that a re-run of a TV show and I think other people would as well, even if they don't know it yet. So if you're curious to what I'm talking about please refer to my Kindly Enjoy These Short Films #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 posts. I really hope you like what you see. :)

A Film Journal: Destroy Erase Improve - Script Revision
I don't like to talk about writing very much; I don't like to talk about unfinished ideas in general. Too many times does the situation come up where I might have an idea that I start to flesh out but it hits a certain point that I feel like I need to put it to the side and work on something…

I went to Indonesia recently had unprotected sex with a prostitute of Chinese ethnicity who told me she was Javanese during my visit to a friend's wedding in Jakarta, Indonesia. This was in the suburbs in one of the "complexes" - one of the more lowly hangout areas for laborers and blue-collarers where it was dark and dirty. The sex was cheap and good - of course because I didn't use a condom! I feel like ***** now.
I couldn't give her a "once over" since I had 5 beers to drink that night before the encounter and that impaired my sense of smell. It was dark in the room too so I don't have even the slightest idea if she had any STIs. She told me she was tripping (but didn?t tell me from what) and didn't care if I wanted to use a condom or not so there's a high chance that she goes promiscuously without one. She gave me a blowjob without condom and I later screwed her also without using a condom. I used the withdrawal method and came onto her stomach because I was told before (and this seems to make sense to me) that the penis does an "absorbing" motion during each interval of a spurt during ejaculation. I know I did not withdraw late because I stifled the first spurt and pulled out before allowing it to happen.
This is the second time I have made this mistake. The first time was in Huizhou of China and I was cleared after 3 months and told myself I wouldn't do it again. That was 3 years ago, and I had been using condoms ever since. However, in recent spate, I have begun to become sick of using condoms all the time. That's why I made this second mistake.
I will definitely go for a check up, since this would count as the 3rd or 4th time I've done so, but it has only been 3 days since this exposure so it is still too early for the window. I have not experienced anything that is out of order yet, at this moment. In the meantime I am really scared so I have decided to write. I told my Mum about what happened then she got scared and said "You're moving with your Auntie and Uncle to Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said "FRESH" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say the this cab was rare but I thought "Nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-Air!" I pulled to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabby, "Yo homes, smell ya later!" Looked at my Kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air.

Richard Hoggart, 1918-2014
"By using a common four-letter term for sexual intercourse, he went on, Lawrence was trying to remove the stain of profanity from plain English words. 'We have no word in English for this act which is not either a long abstraction or an evasive euphemism, and we are constantly running away from it, or dissolving into dots,' Professor Hoggart said."
—Richard Hoggart is pretty much the father of cultural studies, so I don't know if my primary emphasis in his obituary would have been his testimony in the Lady Chatterly case, but having missed the opportunity to collect the first round of obituaries a couple of weeks ago when he actually died, I guess I don't get to make that decision and this is as good a place as any to make my tardy note of his passing. And also to note the Times' continued contortions in avoidance of the word "fuck." Hoggart was 95.

He Said-She Said: Involvement with Married People
- Thursday, March 31, 2011
In the second question, I understand that your situation presents the challenge of a small setting. I know that I, too, have been attracted to someone who is married, but in my case it was in an office setting. I'm sure it's probably more common than we know (or than people are willing to admit). But I also don't think there is anything wrong with appreciating and admiring God's creation—whether that be in regards to beauty or the character of another. It's how we act on it that is of utmost importance. So in my situation, what did I do? I made sure that I was never alone with this individual, either in an office or in the kitchen or in a conference room or on a lunch outing. I didn't seek out this person for conversation either. I was pleasant, but I set up a boundary to protect myself and to honor his status as a married individual. You simply MUST set up boundaries in your situation as well, if you do not want to be tempted to do something you should not. Potential danger calls for sometimes drastic, protective measures ("Get behind me, Satan!"—Matthew 16:23). So protect yourself. Ask a trusted friend to always sit with you at church or to always walk beside you in the hallways so that you are not alone. You can still be cordial; just don't invite extra communication or time together (even in a group setting such as a church service).
In the third question, you simply must walk away. Now. Do you want to be a part of an emotional affair? You are either very close to one or may even be in the middle of one right now. If you are, then you are robbing this man's wife of the conversations and the emotional exchanges that he should be having with her. Not with someone who is not his spouse. Period. He has made his decision. And it was not you. If he loved you as he should in order to marry you, then wouldn't he have chosen you? I am sorry to sound harsh, but you must be very strict with yourself if you don't want to fall into sin. It's as simple as that. And should God desire you to marry one day, then he will work in that man's heart to choose you boldly and without reservation.
In the fourth question, the man is still married. You would be dating a married man if you went out with him. That is adultery. Also, if you went ahead and began dating this man, you are in essence saying (or assuming) that God cannot repair and revive and resuscitate this marriage and that it is too late (by your estimation). But there is still hope! The divorce is not yet final. Could not God work a miracle in this situation? Would you not want this marriage to be saved so that these two individuals might glorify God with their union and be a testimony of what God can do in a relationship that seems doomed? I think you know the answer.
Seeing this many questions (and this is only a sampling of what we've received) related to married or "already taken" individuals is very troubling. Marriage and commitments are to be respected and honored. We are to love one another sacrificially (John 13:34) and to honor one another above ourselves (Romans 12:10). We are not designed to break up marriages or relationships, cause disunity or draw others away from Christ by careless words, actions or decisions.
So today, before you initiate or have any further contact, before you engage in or respond to any communication, before you are in the same room or face to face with the individual in question, consider your thoughts and your desires and your actions in light of the kingdom. Is it true? Is it noble? Is it right? Is it pure? Is it lovely? Is it admirable, excellent or praiseworthy? Think about such things (Philippians 4:8).

It's been a huge day for the Minnesota Vikings organization, as they re-signed defensive end Everson Griffen to a five-year deal worth $42.5 million that includes a massive $20 million in guaranteed money. They also made a smaller move, as a source tells FOX Sports's Mike Garafolo that the Vikings have signed free agent linebacker Jasper Brinkely to a one-year deal.
Brinkely is now reunited with the Vikings and the man who drafted him (GM Rick Spielman), and he took a pair free agent visits before ultimately deciding to sign a one-year pact with the Vikings. Not only did he work out with the Vikings a couple of days ago, but the 28-year-old inside linebacker also received interest from the Arizona Cardinals.
His best season came in 2012, which was the last of his three seasons with the Vikings, as he recorded 98 tackles and three fumbles forced. He was released this offseason after spending just one year with the Arizona Cardinals, and he was a bit player in the desert with just 27 tackles and one pass defended. Brinkely is a quality player in run defense, but he's horrible in coverage and is best suited as a top backup and special teams contributor.

Mosler Automotive has announced that the company's MT900S will be the first production vehicle to be factory-equipped with carbon fiber wheels. Mosler gave the nod to wheel and composite technology specialists Dymag to develop the 18- and 20-inch magnesium/composite wheels for its mid-engined supercar.
Dymag has offered composite motorcycle wheels for some time, but the Mosler is the first production car to carry the lightweight rollers. And we mean light - the Mosler's front wheels come in at 14 pounds, and the rear wheels at 17.5 pounds, making each wheel more than 10 pounds lighter than the OZ forged aluminum wheels they replace. Given such a sizeable reduction in unsprung weight, fortunate buyers can expect huge dynamic benefits in almost every aspect of the car's on-road performance, particularly because the MT900S weighs just 2,450 pounds (1,950 pounds in the "Photon" version).

An interesting aspect of being a stylist is that you get invited to many different showrooms, shops and events. Here is a peek inside the showroom of the taste-makers behind We Are The Market and (capsule) show. The showroom at BPMW is like no other, the rooms are decorated with vintage photos, chandeliers and taxidermy that make it a unique experience when it comes to pulling samples for shoots.

Event 33, SideBySide
I am trying to run some 64bit programs on my new PC (Windows 7 Pro 64bit). Each time I attempt to run them i get an error box appear stating the following:
"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe.tool for more detail"
When i got to the event log i get the following message which doesn't mean much to me.
"Activation context generation failed for "d:\teklastructures\15.0\nt\bin\xs_cancel.exe.Manifest". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",vers ion="8.0.50727.4053" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis."
Programs failing include, Tekla Structures V15 64bit, DWG TrueView 2010 64bit, but funnily enough on a 64bit OS it is only the 64bit programs causing the problem.
Can any one help me as i am not able to run the programs i need to making the Windows 7 machine an expensive paper weight

See if you have these runtime programs installed. VC80.MSC is part of these packages.
You are probably missing the (x64) version.
Here are the links.
After installing run Windows Update to get the two update programs.

Hi Jim,
That was my initial thought as well, i made sure i had the Visual C++ times installed when i was trying to get it to work.
Finally got an answer from the supplier of the PC, they recommended turning DEP off through command prompt (bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff) once i ran that and restarted the problem went away. Not entirely sure if turning the DEP was the right way to go but it worked.
|My System Specs
|21 Apr 2010
Disabling DEP is not the best choice and not sure why that would have stopped your programs. I assume you have the 2005 version of C++ on your system. There is a 2008 version but uses VC90.MSC and does not have the VC80.MSC your program uses. There may be a way to have DEP on for everything except your programs but I don't know how to set that up. Did you contact the program vendors to see what they say.
|My System Specs
|21 Apr 2010
Yip we have the 2005 version of C++ installed. The PC was brought from our local IT company. It was their recommendation to turn the DEP off after they had tried to work on the problem overnight. We haven't queried anyone else as of yet with the exception of this forum.
We have tried turning the DEP off for the individual program (as administrator) but when we tried we had a windows message come up saying that we couldn't turn DEP off for 64bit applications
