Taylor Swift – songs open to interpret :25
"For me, yeah, there's a lot of curiosity about who each song is about and that's kind of something that I love keeping to myself. Never really revealing who exactly these songs are about. Because I like for people to be able to paint their own picture of whether they want to think about their ex boyfriend or someone they know or make up their own mind about who they think I wrote it about. It's all up to them, because I'm never telling."
Tim McGraw – Labor Day worst job :12
"Picking tomatoes in Louisiana. I mean, I had a lot of bad jobs. Pulling coffee weeds in rice fields is not a good job either, especially with water moccasins in the river. Picking tomatoes..that's a pretty nasty job."
Laura Bell Bundy – Labor Day worst job :22
"I've really been fortunate not to have horrible jobs. I've been very blessed to be able to have my hobby be my job. I mean, I've been a bartender and I've been a hostess and I've been a coat check girl. I've done sales before I did real estate. Living in New York trying to make ends meet. That was pretty funny. I don't think it was horrible, but it was funny."
Danielle Bradbery – when knew wanted to be a singer :440
"When I was little, I always just watched the award shows and just other stars perform and I would just be in awe of how they were and I would try to picture myself up there. Of course, that little girl who just wants to be the superstar. But I never got the courage to actually try and do something about it. I mean, I was so shy. I didn't want to get in front of anybody. So I just had this huge imagination and I just thought that I would just keep going. My mom was a big part of how this started because she signed me up for The Voice and I kinda went along with it to see how it went because I was so scared. From there, it just kept going."
Justin Moore – Labor Day Heroes program :57
"We've been really fortunate to be involved with a program that Crown Royal has done for a number of years, but we've done it with them the last two or three and that's called Your Heroes Name Here, where ultimately, a hometown hero who's voted by fans as a winner online, has a Brickyard 400 named after him. In thinking about this year what we could do to help grow that program to a new level, on the music side of things, I had heard this song "Heroes" that Greg Bates actually wrote and I said, 'Man, why don't we go record that and actually do something with it', What we did was put it up online. If you're 21 or over, you can go to www.CrownHeroesSong.com and download that for free and Crown Royal will donate a dollar for each time that's downloaded to our Armed Forces Foundation. Yeah, it's something for us that's very easy to do that's gonna help some folks out. Anytime we can do that, especially for our military servicemen and women, why not."
Thomas Rhett – perfect summer day :18
"My perfect summer day would be on the golf course, to tell you the honest truth. Or sitting on the beach drinking a Bud Light. As a kid, we always used to go to Amelia Island. My family's had a house down there since I can…as long as I can remember, so I've always been a big beach goer and anytime I get a chance when I'm off on the road to go to the beach, I'm going."
The Band Perry – difference in intl fans :39
Kimberly – "I don't really think there's a lot of difference between playing for crowds in the United States and folks in the UK and Europe. Just a bunch of country lovers. The one interesting thing though, is that, when we played Scandinavia, there was a little bit of a language barrier when I would speak. I mean I'm very southern – 'Y'all want some sweet tea?'
Reid – "It wasn't even that, but whenever she would tell a joke it would just be …"
Neil – "Crickets. And you know, it was kind of deflating for Kimberly, but Reid and I would laugh on stage just to make her feel better."
Kimberly – "What wasn't deflating though is that they knew the music. Music is such a universal language. Even when our language maybe isn't as decipherable. I think the songs still speak."
Eli Young Band – American Idol stardom :32
Mike Eli – "Our outlook on it is that we've kinda paved our road in a way that we're building a foundation that we'll be able to always turn back to. You build something, quality, that's gonna be there for a long time and hopefully, we'll be making music for a really long time. I think that in the age of the instant star I think that they still have to pay their dues. They just have to do it in a different way and they have to do it in front of people, a lot of people. Whereas, we got to pay our dues in front of no one. Many times."
Florida Georgia Line – writing inspiration from fans :26
Tyler Hubbard – "We get ideas and inspiration from all walks of life and where we're at, and what we're experiencing. Right now, a lot of that has to do with fans and playing shows and traveling on a bus and all that good stuff. I'd say absolutely. Our fans are amazing. How they connect to us on stage is unreal. So when we're writing, we're also thinking about what we wanna be saying to our fans and how we want them to perceive us and all that kind of stuff, so it definitely has an impact on our writing."
Cassadee Pope – how spend day off :32
"I love just sitting around. I love TV. I'm a sucker for reality shows on Bravo and CMT. I could sit there for hours and watch shows. But I also love spending time outside. I live in L.A. and there's not a day that goes by where it's not absolutely gorgeous out. So, if I can find a balcony or a patio situation, I will sit and read and sunbathe and just have my alone time and not speak. Not speaking is key."

Today, you meet several nice native plants, all in the evening primrose family, as well as the not-so-nice invasive yellow flag iris.
You also meet the beneficial insects known as the charming sphinx moths that many gardeners mistake for hummingbirds.
Information on these species comes courtesy of Helen Hamilton, author of "Wildflowers and Grasses of Virginia's Coastal Plain" and past president of the John Clayton Chapter, Virginia Native Plant Society, and Phillip Merritt, current chapter president.
Learn more about the wildflower book at http://wildflowersofvirginia.com and the chapter and its year-round events at http://www.claytonvnps.org.
Elegant evening primrose
Four species of evening primrose are native to Virginia — three bloom at night and one during the day, according to Hamilton. The flowers are large, 1-2 inches wide, with four petals; in the center, eight stamens surround the stigma that has four branches forming a cross.
"All have long blooming periods, from spring through autumn," she said.
Canary yellow flowers of southern sundrops, or O. fruticosa, open in the morning and hang around for several days. The plant thrives in sunny, well-drained soils, and tolerates dry conditions. The perennial wildflower is pollinated by bees, skippers and butterflies, and attracts hummingbirds for nectar and goldfinches for seeds.
Evening bloomers include the yellow flowers of common evening primrose, or O. biennis, and cutleaf evening primrose, or O. lacinata. The flowers have a bright nectar guide pattern that's visible to night-flying insects. Principal pollinators are the large sphinx moths that resemble hummingbirds.
Common evening primrose is a biennial — blooms the second year — or short-lived perennial that likes well-drained soil and all-day sun. The flowers usually close at noon but often stay open on an overcast day. Common evening primrose is the source for evening primrose oil that's used in many cosmetics, including lipstick. Native Americans used the root for various ailments. And recent research suggests the seed oil may be used for eczema, asthma and migraines.
Cutleaf evening primrose is an annual or biennial that prefers full sun and dry, sandy soils. Their flowers seldom open during the day, according to Hamilton.
Sea-beach evening primrose, or O. humifusa, is a perennial with grayish-white, hairy, somewhat woody stems. The lemon yellow flowers darken as they age. This plant is seen only on the sandy beaches and dunes of places like Virginia's Eastern Shore.
Pink evening primrose, or O. speciosa, features white flowers that mature to rosy pink. The perennial is native to dry open spaces in Missouri and Kansas, south to Texas, and has become naturalized in open, disturbed habitats, in some southeastern counties of Virginia. It is not considered native to Virginia, and does not provide much food and habitat for native wildlife.
Showy sphinx moths
Often mistaken for hummingbirds, these grand moths can hover and fly sideways, darting through the garden on their busy, important missions.
"Some are larger than hummingbirds, and can fly up to 30 miles an hour," Hamilton said.
"With rapidly beating wings, they quickly gather nectar using an extremely long proboscis (long, thin nose)."
The large-bodied moths of the Sphingidae family are known also as hawk moths, hummingbird moths, clearwings and hornworms. Six species live in James City County where Hamilton resides, and mostly fly at night and pollinate garden flowers and trees. Caterpillars eat the leaves of host plants. And the adult moths pollinate plants while feeding on flower nectar.
The white-lined sphinx moth, or Hyles lineata, typically flies at night, occasionally during the day, she said. The moths find nectar in many garden plants including columbines, petunias and honeysuckles. Their caterpillars feed on evening primroses, elms, grapes, tomatoes and purslanes.
Hummingbird clearwings, or Hemaris thysbe, fly during the day, hovering at flowers to sip nectar. Honeysuckles, hawthorns, cherries and plums are hosts for the caterpillars and nectar is taken from bee balm, red clover, phlox, blueberries and thistles, among others.

Buying new paint brushes and rollers every time you paint is a foolish, costly mistake. Quality brushes and rollers can be used over and over again for a long time if you thoroughly clean and store them properly after each use. Nobody likes cleaning painting tools, but you can significantly reduce cleanup time using a brush and roller cleaner. If you already tried cleaning rollers without one, you know how long it can take to get all of the paint out.
In case you don't know, a brush and roller cleaner is basically a spinner that spins your tools to completely remove leftover paint quickly. To clean a roller, the tool is inserted into the core of your paint roller, and to clean a paint brush, the brush is in inserted into the base of the tool. The tool spins by pumping the top handle up and down.
The Shur-Line spinner has been around for a long time and it's the only tool I use to clean my dirty brushes and rollers at the end of the day. To see what others are saying, click here.

I've seen a few versions of this and thought I'd try my hand at it. No theme for my first try (besides Marvel Universe), although there is a lot of Avengers stuff and a fair amount of Deadpool (because, why not?). It costs much more time than money, and requires more patience than skill.
I used matte Mod Podge (from the 90's. Just goes to show you that this stuff lasts forever) but I'm sure gloss would work as well. I tried tackling the heel and edges first, then filling in with background. As you can see, there are also some feature pieces that I cut around the edges to make them stand out (like Wolverine, Spiderman, etc.) I found it worked well with a good balance of art, dialogue, and onomatopoeia. This was a lot of fun and I definitely hope to do it again when I have the time. Maybe DC next time (I'd love to do some Flash ones) or something else entirely.

American families are returning to traditional family bonding. In 2012, the Columbia University Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) made the case that regular family dinners led to a decreased risk of teen substance abuse. Parents and children are finding comfort and safety within the inner sanctum of the immediate family. A good way to nurture these bonds is to find activities, hobbies and interests to enjoy together. Here are some great family-friendly activities.

It's a bitter 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but you're staying toasty warm while soaking in your bubbling hot tub. As you sip your hot cocoa and watch snow fall around you, you're probably glad you decided to keep your hot tub open this winter. Many people keep their hot tubs at ready-to-use temperatures of 100 degrees [...]

Home to Menorca
March 2013: I was enjoying my junior year at Kimball Union Academy as a mature sixteen-year-old, juggling a rigorous course schedule, participating in a plethora of clubs and organizations, running half-marathons—and becoming queasy at the thought of sleeping somewhere besides my own bed for an extended period.
Fourth of July Extravaganza!
Independence Day is just around the corner! How do you plan to celebrate our nation's birthday?

Liven things up a little to turn your Independence Day party into a Fourth of July extravaganza, and make it one that will be the talk of the neighborhood for weeks to come! They might even ask you to host the party again next year!
Mountains to Hike This Summer & What You'll Need for a Safe, Enjoyable Outing
New Hampshire is home to the beautiful White Mountain National Forest, including a section of the Appalachian Trail. Thousands of miles of trails offer spectacular views for moderate effort.

October 25, 2014
October 6, 2006
A United States Marine hurt during combat finally came home. The Marine saw his parents after serving in Iraq for seven months.
The emotions of Paul Laidler while waiting to see his son, Lance Corporal Joshua Laidler, were excitement, nervousness, and love.
Those feelings were put at ease once the Marine saw his family after being shot by a sniper in Iraq.
"Oh, I am just thrilled to death. It's been a long step of events," said the Marine's Father Paul Laidler.
Paul was thrilled because his son was returning home from war. Laidler said his family has been through a lot having their Marine in Iraq. Most significant was three weeks ago.
"He was helping out doing a last thing before they left. They had four days to go, and they asked for volunteers. He was first in line like always," added Laidler.
Laidler said his son went on a mission with a lieutenant. The lieutenant returned, and so did his son, but...
"...He was the last one to come back in following everybody in. As he turned, he felt something warm in his leg, and looked down to see lots of blood. He took about two steps and dropped," said Laidler.
All the Marines freaked out. Lance Corporal Laidler was shot by a sniper. A bullet grazed one of the Marine's legs, and went through the other leg. Somehow, Lance Corporal Laidler was in good spirits.
"He said he had just talked to the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, and they told him he was a hero, he did the right thing, and told him he should be proud. I was like 'wow,' you know," said his father.
The next wow will be when his son gets the Purple Heart.
"It's pretty cool. I am very patriotic. I just can not believe that young kids like him are out there," said Laidler.
Lance Corporal Joshua Laidler's dad, and two younger brothers will be on-hand for the purple heart ceremony. The ceremony should happen in about four months.
The Marine's dad also served in the military. Paul Laidler was enlisted in the Army during President Reagan's administration.

Open enrollment and school choice
Families in Greeley-Evans School District 6 can choose which schools their children attend
Neighborhood schools in District 6 are a great fit for most of our students and families, offering a well-rounded education that helps students of all abilities reach their full potential. However, some parents and students prefer programs that offer unique educational experiences that more closely align with their personal preferences, goals, and needs.
For these families, District 6 offers a variety of educational options and alternative programs. If you are interested in enrolling your child in a magnet program or a neighborhood school that's outside your home attendance area, your first step is to stop by the school office and visit with the staff to learn more about the program.
The window for open enrollment requests for the 2014-15 school year is November 4 - December 19, 2013.
The Open Enrollment Application Form is available at every school office, at the district's main office, 1025 Ninth Ave. in Greeley, and on this web page. Completed applications must be submitted by the end of the last day (4:30 p.m.) of the open enrollment window at your child's school, or at the school you are requesting for your child to attend.
While the district is able to accommodate the vast majority of open enrollment requests district-wide, we cannot approve requests for enrollment in schools (or specific grade levels in a school) that are at or above capacity or where special programs needs cannot be met or are above capacity.
Already open-enrolled students do not have to be re-enrolled to stay
Students who are presently attending a school under open enrollment or transfer will automatically be enrolled into the school they are presently attending for the 2013-14 school year. This year, parents will not be required to complete open enrollment applications, which is a change from past practice. If, however, a parent wishes to enroll a child back in their home school for the 2014-15 school year, parents should complete a Discontinuation of Open Enrollment/Transfer Application and return it to their current school by December 19. These forms are also available in the locations listed above.
Students transitioning from one school level to another (preschool to elementary school, elementary school to middle school, or middle school to high school) will automatically be enrolled into their boundary school unless a new open enrollment application is submitted and approved. For example, an eighth-grade student who lives in the Franklin boundary and is open enrolled at Heath will automatically be enrolled at Northridge for 2014-15, as Northridge is the student's boundary school.
Schools will notify parents of new applicants' open enrollment status during the first week of March. Parents of approved open enrollment student(s) must provide transportation to and from their approved school. This also applies to students receiving special education services and transportation services. For more information about open enrollment, please call 348-6265.

Special Notes
Charter Schools
Some charter schools have different enrollment procedures and timelines, so be sure to visit with their school staff to learn the details.
Students who use Open Enrollment to attend a school outside their home neighborhood boundaries will not have school bus service to and from school; their parents will be responsible for getting their students to and from school.
High School Athletic Eligibility
The Colorado High School Activities Association, which regulates eligibility for school sports, places some restrictions on students' athletic elibility if they transfer schools during high school. Parents and students should make themselves aware of the CHSSA transfer rules before applying for open enrollment.

Orientation Pieces
These Orientation Pieces are intended to inspire you to reflect on specific aspects of your own practice in relation to geographical education.
Most of the orientation pieces have been written with the needs of the tutor in mind rather than the needs of student teachers. For example, most tutors are required to undertake research and to get their research published. To address these needs, one orientation piece examines the role of research in ITE courses and categorises possible areas for research in geographical education while another provides advice on getting published.
All courses of Initial Teacher Training are inspected so one orientation piece provides pointers for tutors and raises issues related to inspection. Tutors also need an overview of all aspects of geographical education. The orientation pieces on Assessment and Marking provide such an overview together with key references.
The Orientation Piece 'Using ICT in geography' was written mainly with primary education courses in mind but will be of interest to secondary geography educators. It provides an overview and also some suggestions for PGCE sessions.

"Okay, now it's your turn again." Zachary said, finishing his story.
"Well nothing interesting happened when we got to his place." I started but stopped when Zac lifted his eyebrows, he didn't believe me.
"Well, okay then. We had great, awesome and mind blowing sex, is that you wanted to know?"
Zachary looked amused. "Dora, dear sister." he said. "I don't really want to know the details of your sex life, but tell me, did he hurt you in anyway?"

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- A Louisville man who faced the death penalty is free tonight. That's after prosecutors dropped a murder charge against him.
It was DNA evidence that ultimately cleared him but not before he spent several years behind bars.
The Hall of Justice is where Carlos Lagantta claimed his freedom in more ways than one.
He was waiting for trial for five years – three for the current case and two for an unrelated charge.
But Lagantta says he never grew bitter after being wrongfully accused of murder.
Overall, Carlos Lagantta served three years in prison for a murder he did not commit.
He felt an overwhelming sense of freedom as a court of law declared that he's innocent.
WHAS 11 News: "What are you doing here at the Hall of Justice today?"
"I'm turning in my HIP equipment and being a free man. Once I turn this in I'm all the way free," said Lagantta.
"Not only did he put this behind him but he was facing the death penalty," said Ryan Vantrease, Lagantta's lawyer.
"It is the Commonwealth's decision to dismiss without prejudice," said prosecution in Judge Audra Eckerle's court in Jefferson County.
Prosecution tossed out murder and robbery charges against Lagantta from 2007.
Exculpatory evidence emerged recently and earlier this year Lagantta's previous defense attorney requested DNA testing.
That proved that the DNA under the murder victim's fingernails, that of Tina Taro, did not belong to Lagantta.
In fact, it was from Taro's boyfriend, John Bulkhead.
Lagantta said: "When that new DNA evidence came back it was kind of shocking but overall it's not my business anymore. My heart goes out to that woman's family but I didn't have nothing to do with it."
WHAS 11 News: "What does this say about our justice system? There are some flaws."
"This is why it is so important to let the facts come out before making a decision. Had Mr. Magenta tried to go to trial before this exculpatory evidence he wouldn't have had the benefit of the DNA," said Vantrease.
Time in prison cost Lagantta his marriage and a relationship with his young son.
With all this behind him, Magenta returned his ankle bracelet and monitoring equipment having served four months under house arrest.
But says he never lost confidence in the justice system.
"Anybody else who is in my situation stay patient and focused. The truth will come out it always does," said Lagantta.
WHAS 11 News: "What are you going to be doing once you return this HIP equipment?
Lagantta: "Just positive things. A whole list. My main focus is to get my son and go fishing this weekend.
Lagantta did plead guilty to burglary and tampering with physical evidence.
So far no charges have been filed against Burkhead.

Although 'Give up Activism' neglected to recommend any actual change in behaviour outside of saying that we needed one, perhaps now it would be appropriate to say something about this. How can we bring 'politics' out of its separate box as an external cause to which we dedicate ourselves?
Many of the criticisms of the direct action movement revolve around similar points. Capitalism is based on work; our struggles against it are not based on our work but quite the opposite, they are something we do outside whatever work we may do. Our struggles are not based on our direct needs (as for example, going on strike for higher wages); they seem disconnected, arbitrary. Our 'days of action' and so forth have no connection to any wider on-going struggle in society. We treat capitalism as if it was something external, ignoring our own relation to it. These points are repeated again and again in criticisms of the direct action movement (including 'Give up Activism' but also in many other places).
The problem is not necessarily that people don't understand that capital is a social relation and that it's to do with production as well as just banks and stock exchanges, here as well as in the Third World or that capital is a relation between classes. The point is that even when all of this is understood our attitude to this is still as outsiders looking in, deciding at what point to attack this system. Our struggle against capitalism is not based on our relation to value-creation, to work. On the whole the people who make up the direct action movement occupy marginal positions within society as the unemployed, as students or working in various temporary and transitory jobs. We do not really inhabit the world of production, but exist largely in the realm of consumption and circulation. What unity the direct action movement possesses does not come from all working in the same occupation or living in the same area. It is a unity based on intellectual commitment to a set of ideas.
To a certain extent 'Give up Activism' was being disingenuous (as were many of the other critiques making similar points) in providing all these hints but never spelling out exactly where they led, which left the door open for them to be misunderstood. The author of the critique in 'The Bad Days Will End!' was right to point out what the article was indicating but shied away from actually mentioning: the basic thing that's wrong with activism is that it isn't collective mass struggle by the working class at the point of production, which is the way that revolutions are supposed to happen.
From the postscript to Give Up Activism, an apparently rather inflammatory essay in the wake of protests on 18th June 1999.
In the postscript the author partly backpedals on a promising initial argument which @spitzenprodukte directed me following my earlier post. Nonetheless, the excerpt quoted above summarise some key points reasonably well.
So I
ated quoted it.
- I'm somewhat puzzled at this insistence on "the way that revolutions are supposed to happen". I would not necessarily expect the up-ending of the existing social, political and economic modes to take an orderly form that can be definitively predicted in advance - whatever Marx said.
- I would note that events in 1918 Russia were led by an intellectual cadre, and 2011 Tunisia sparked off by a man who wanted to be a self-employed street merchant. The "working class" bit is definitely up for grabs, whether it's just in terms of definition (is it "the precariat" now?) or actual causality. What a "collective mass struggle" looks like is also up for consideration - and it looks like it's more likely to be on the streets and online rather than "at the point of production" if that's meant as a spatial referent - or even if it's not.
- Actually, "revolution" is also a problem to my ears. Even after events of 2011 I don't think I believe it very likely to stick in the West - upheaval yes, street disorder yes, but then global institutions of governance will determine whatever type of leadership replaces the government we lose.
- It seems very anti-zeitgeisty to say that 'If real democratic, people-led change is to occur -and stick - it is likely to be a slower, more gradual, less violent process than the word "revolution" implies'… Seems to ignore the events of the last year. But this kind of change is based on a widespread shift in social attitudes and I still think that tends to take time. (Do recognise the risk events may prove me wrong on this one — but can we plan for events? Or only the longer slower work?)
- 12 years on, call centres don't look especially plausible hotbeds of revolutionary ferment.
- Have to remember to read this in the context of its time, i.e. the 90s very fragmented single-issue protesting against road-building, against animal testing - stuff that frankly looks like not seeing the woods for the trees from today's perspectives. The author of this essay is, however, getting that.
Thinking out loud
Why do I want to have anything to do with radical politics?
- Because the world faces problems - oil, climate, social justice - that mainstream politics is proving wholly inadequate at confronting
- Because I am interested in radical social / political theory, and consequently in how it connects to real-world actions
- Class privilege:
- means my neck isn't on the line in these struggles. Come what may, I will basically be ok - or ok-er than 90% of people. So it's patronising and presumptuous to be involved and to claim to be acting/speaking for those in a very different position.
- means I don't have a right to speak in these spaces. My confidence and articulacy can intimidate and silence people who don't feel so capable.
- Activists online love to slate "liberals". As someone undecided and on the periphery, I'm going to get judged, attacked and mocked for not having enough "commitment to the cause".
- I've got a job in the private sector, I'm ambitious and I want to earn enough money so that I can buy a flat and not be in poverty in my old age. I don't want to live in a squat and I'm not prepared to live on benefits (or a PhD stipend…) as some act of protest against wage-labour. As such I'm too invested in the status quo to be involved in radical politics.
- I haven't got any tangible skills to contribute - e.g. legal or housing know-how, the willingness to get beaten up in a protest, etc.
- What's the point? How does it ever get beyond being a minority thing?:
- Activism doesn't achieve tangible change in macro politics - million people march against the Iraq war, nada.
- Don't see how we get there from here
- Protests, cultural centres etc basically permitted dissidence, small-scale spaces where people can vent their dissatisfaction with the system without in fact troubling it significantly. C.f. China and the Communist party's attitude to protests.
- Don't agree with the art-speak (or Hakim Bey) position that focuses on how radical political action changes the "consciousness" of the people involved - bluntly, this is not enough, it's basically therapeutic navel-gazing.
- I don't understand how radical socio-political structures can scale with any legitimacy given that 90% of the population think that radicals are a bunch of feckless unwashed students. How's it get majority buy-in?
- Why is it verboten to ask about whether these social models are legitimate, why's any concern about the potential for majority buy-in castigated as "dirty centrism"?
- Decide that I'm clearly too uncomfortable with and critical of radical politics to be a part of it, even though I believe it to be necessary? (Because I don't want to be that person who sits in the corner and just goes, "No that's impossible, that's stupid", negative negative negative.)
- Find a local project doing something clearly useful - environmental, urban planning - get involved, contribute. Stop over-thinking and just act; stop worrying about how this connects to the bigger picture (easier said than done)?
- Follow some different radicals on the internet & read different things that I might find more constructive - someone, somewhere has to be explaining radical politics in terms that make me go "Yes, I can understand how that would work"?
- Say ok then, I want to work from the starting point of party politics because I understand how that can make (albeit incremental and not sufficient) change in the world; join the Greens (or try to be part of the solution for the Labour Party?) and so on?
Tesco asks government to change flagship jobless scheme [Guardian]
Work experience programme must be voluntary, says major employer amid complaints it is profiting from forced labour.
Supermarket group Tesco said it has asked DWP officials to make the work experience scheme voluntary after thousands of angry customers wrote in and posted messages on Twitter and the company's Facebook site accusing the multinational of profiting from hundreds of thousands of hours of forced unpaid work.
On the one hand, a victory. People power.
On the other hand, not.
People power proving powerless when it's enacted through democratic political means - the Tory party denying there's any opposion; the Lib Dems apparently silent, and Labour nowhere to be found. Even the very idea of writing to your MP about this or turning up in a constintuency surgery asking him/her to ask a question in the Commons seems ludicrous, seems tilting at windmills - who believes that works? (Did it ever?)
But when - as consumers, not as citizens - we put the pressure - on companies and brands, not on our elected representatives - then something happens.
This blurring of citizenship and consumption is neoliberalism in action. In its public-facing ideology at least, the interests of business and state are thought to be mutually supportive - with a resultant blurring as to which of these really holds power. Baudrillard - once a Marxist, then a nihilist - becomes our guide to this modern terrain. In The Consumer Society (1998) he quotes President Eisenhower saying that government best secures economic growth by encouraging the individual to spend, and that taxation is a less profitable way of connecting an individual's money and their desired services than consumption could be – consumption as a "social levy", and also "civic duty" keeping the economy going (1998:82-3).
Furthermore, society and civic responsibility become just another pair of values to be consumed - hollowed out as empty signifiers fit only for endless exchange (not use). In Simulacra And Simulation, Baudrillard claims:
Advertising, "fundamentally saying and repeating incessantly, 'I buy, I consume, I take pleasure', today repeats in other forms, 'I vote, I participate, I am present, I am concerned' – mirror of a paradoxical mockery, mirror of the indifference of all public signification." (1994:91)
Seems apt.
The lack of Corporate and Governmental transparency has been a topic of great controversy in recent years, yet our only tool for encouraging greater openness is the slow, tedious process of policy reform.
Presented in the form of a Soviet F1 Hand Grenade, the Transparency Grenade proposes itself as an iconic cure for these frustrations, making the process of leaking information from closed meetings as easy as pulling a pin.
Equipped with a tiny computer, microphone and powerful wireless antenna, the Transparency Grenade captures network traffic and audio at the site and securely and anonymously streams it to a dedicated server where it is mined for information. Email fragments, HTML pages, images and voice extracted from this data are then presented on an online, public map, shown at the location of the detonation.
Whether trusted employee, civil servant or concerned citizen, greater openness was never so close at hand.

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a multilateral agreement which proposes international standards for enforcement of intellectual property rights.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) opposes ACTA, calling for more public spotlight on the proposed treaty.
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has published "Speak out against ACTA", stating that the ACTA threatens free software by creating a culture "in which the freedom that is required to produce free software is seen as dangerous and threatening rather than creative, innovative, and exciting.

Recording Everything: Digital Storage as an Enabler of Authoritarian Governments
"Within the next few years an important threshold will be crossed: For the first time ever, it will become technologically and financially feasible for authoritarian governments to record nearly everything that is said or done within their borders—every phone conversation, electronic message, social media interaction, the movements of nearly every person and vehicle, and video from every street corner.
Plummeting digital storage costs will soon make it possible for authoritarian regimes to not only monitor known dissidents, but to also store the complete set of digital data associated with everyone within their borders. These enormous databases of captured information will create what amounts to a surveillance time machine, enabling state security services to retroactively eavesdrop on people in the months and years before they were designated as surveillance targets. This will fundamentally change the dynamics of dissent, insurgency and revolution.
Peak freedom?I read an article a week ago which argued that this - here, now - is what peak oil looks like
A decade ago, those few of us who were paying attention to peak oil were pointing out that if the peak of global conventional petroleum production arrived before any meaningful steps were taken, the price of oil would rise to previously unimagined heights, crippling the global economy and pushing political systems across the industrial world into a rising spiral of dysfunction and internal conflict.
With most grades of oil above $100 a barrel, economies around the world mired in a paper "recovery" worse than most recessions, and the United States and European Union both frozen in political stalemates between regional and cultural blocs with radically irreconcilable agendas, that prophecy has turned out to be pretty much square on the money, but you won't hear many people mention that these days.
The point that has to be grasped just now, it seems to me, is that this is what peak oil looks like. Get past the fantasies of sudden collapse on the one hand, and the fantasies of limitless progress on the other, and what you get is what we're getting—a long ragged slope of rising energy prices, economic contraction, and political failure, punctuated with a crisis here, a local or regional catastrophe there, a war somewhere else—all against a backdrop of disintegrating infrastructure, declining living standards, decreasing access to health care and similar services, and the like, which of course has been happening here in the United States for some years already.
[John Michael Greer, What Peak Oil Looks Like, 7 December 2011]
What if we have also reached 'peak freedom' - the maximum extent of individual freedoms and civil liberties?
Europe and America became considerably more free through the 19th and 20th centuries. Slavery was abolished; women gained the vote; homosexuality decriminalised and employment and welfare reforms provided a baseline of freedom from exploitation and freedom for all to have a chance at a decent living. We gained the right to unionise; to (all) own private property; that everyone could access legal representation through legal aid if they couldn't afford their own defence. From the Chatterley trial, to journalist's privilege not to name sources, to the rise of internet we have gained increasing freedoms of thought and expression.
Where next?
Wednesday I met up with an old, old friend by name of @metaleptic. We talked about 2011 and the coming end of the world - and what felt significant about our conversation is that perhaps for the first time I was as pessimistic as him.
What happened in 2011?
- The Met Police, Tory government and supposedly independent judiciary (hah!) seeking to criminalise all forms of protest that aren't walking along a pre-determined march route (and how long will they keep authorising big protest marches, you wonder?)
- Kettling, mass arrests, police infiltrators, 944 deaths in police custody since 1990. Et cetera
- The US Senate overwhelmingly passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which gives the military (not the police) authority over domestic terror investigations and interrogations…
- …allows for indefinite detention without trial of absolutely anyone suspected of being a terrorist…
- …and defines the whole of the United States as a "battlefield".
- The normalisation of drone warfare and extra-judicial killings of British citizens in Pakistan, a country we are not at war with
- SOPA and the Digital Economy Act threatening basic internet freedoms
What's coming in the rest of my lifetime?
- The start of a four-degree or more rise in global temperatures, leading to extreme weather events and potentially the total loss of climate equilibrium (then god knows what)
- The oil runs out, as does rather a lot of minerals we use to make rather a lot of things
- The water runs out and large parts of the globe become uninhabitable
- Starving and/or displaced people in the billions
- Fortress Europe to (try to) keep them out of our (collapsing) economies and welfare states
- A geriatric population in the West no longer producing wealth but functioning as a massive voting block to stymie any change. (Actually Hugo and I did disagree here - he's more cynical and doubts even the veneer of democracy, voting etc will survive. I predict a mere move through simulacra into simulation.)
Given that, then - Year of Protest or not - how is there any likelihood that the world will get more free?
The question becomes simply when we passed the peak - before or after 9/11?
Things that will be banned during the London 2012 Olympics
Maintaining Olympic advertisers' expensively-purchased monopolies of signification is a legal requirement for host cities. This means new laws:
Section 22 is then about how the police can enter your house to seize your Pepsi t-shirts, news articles or protest banners before you even use them.
Section 19: Advertising Regulations.
(4)The regulations may apply in respect of advertising of any kind including, in particular—
(a)advertising of a non-commercial nature, and
(b)announcements or notices of any kind.
(5)The regulations may apply in respect of advertising in any form including, in particular—
(a)the distribution or provision of documents or articles,
(b)the display or projection of words, images, lights or sounds, and
(c)things done with or in relation to material which has or may have purposes or uses other than as an advertisement.
Yay democracy.
Found via @DSG_DSG, 10 Growth Markets for Crisis
The protesters yesterday stuck a spoof street sign saying "Tahrir Square, London, EC4M". This was not Tahrir - but it obeyed the same impulse to occupy physical space.
The impulse, I believe, is being driven by two things: first it is - as I wrote in the 20 reasons - a meme. It is an effective action that is transmitting itself independent of any democratic structures and party political hierarchies: if you camp somewhere, the press turn up and you can get an instant hit of wellbeing by, however briefly and tenuously, living the dream of a communal, negotiated existence.
Second, because this communal, negotiated, networked life already exists in people's heads as a result of the rapid adoption of social networks and networked lifestyles. As Manuel Castells, one of the first sociologists of the internet, said: the more autonomous and rebellious a person's attitudes are, the more they use the internet; the more they use the internet, the more autonomous their lifestyle becomes.

How to connect radicals & the mainstream? Chomsky & the occupations' demands
Chomsky at the Rebellious Media Conference, 8th Oct 2011 - notes on his speech made by Jo Abbess.
He's speaking about the tension between mainstream and radical demands that I'm finding important / difficult at the moment:
The main thrust of the occupations – not very critical. Radical demands are tacked on at the end [of the lists of demands] – can be put aside.
[Takes out list of demands from Occupy Boston and reads out loud. The first section] Not very radical demands – in normal discussion. The final demand [is very radical - but to get anything like this] the mass of the population has to be behind it […] understand it.
[These demands are] things that don't happen if you have a demonstration for a couple of weeks. Corporations have been buying elections for a 100 years [for example].
[What I note is] the thin character of the demands – get back to the "good old days". There are radical priorities that should be brought into it – to explain the gap [between the obvious, non-challenging demands and the more radical, complex demands] and fill it; otherwise it's going to reach a point where [there's absorption/appropriation of] the "tolerable" demands, which are [fine to appear] in the business press.
Maybe [the Occupy movement] will galvanize the Democrats.
[The radical demands are] so far beyond what's attainable – would need to mobilise the country behind them [to attain them]. [The Occupy movement will] maybe initiate a long-term effort. Dedicate yourself.
What's successful about the slogan "We are the 99 Percent" is that it's very difficult to argue against - almost everybody is the "us" not the "them". Occupy Wall Street and related protests are successfully focusing an anger against (i) an unaccountable financial industry and (ii) the government bailouts they've received, two feelings that cross class and party lines.
This is powerful and needs to be maintained.
However, the people doing the occupying are for the most part not identifiably mainstream - instead they're students, radicals, anarchists. This leads to a tension for the movement's demands.
As Chomsky identifies, half are driven by normal discussion - the 99%-ers demands for a job, an education, healthcare. Demands that the financial industry not be allowed to crash the economy again, and for a government less subservient to its interests.
But as the radicals and intellectuals recognise, these aren't necessarily coherent demands. Globalisation makes it impossible to step back to the wealthy West of the 1950s-1970s, the perceived golden era of rising prosperity. A government in cahoots with big business is recognised as the way things are under capitalism - the norm, not a corrupt anomaly.
So the demands get radical - revolutionary. It is capitalism itself that's the problem - so we must overthrow capitalism.
My concerns are twofold:
- This alienates the mainstream. Completely. It turns something that might be a popular movement of the magnitude & influence of the Tea Party into an uncomfortable camp-out of a few dozen people who don't have to get up and work a job the next morning.
- It's incredibly vague. As @stavvers put it, the plan goes from A. Camp out in public square, B. ???, C. Revolution. She calls it "cargo cult activism", a dedication to a form which mistakes that for function.
The hope for the 99% and Occupy movements is what? That the mainstream is somehow radicalised, accepts the wider and systemic nature of the problem, and goes on to demand & achieve some major victories despite a party-political system that is completely inert to these concerns.
i.e. that not just Labour but even the Conservatives & Lib Dems realise they must enact major changes otherwise they will be voted out of power for a generation. And then we go on to reform electoral democracy & capitalism because we realise the roles that existing structures have created in producing the current mess.
That'd be great. But I really, really struggle to imagine such a win. More likely the anarchists organise everything by consensus and have a series of 6-hour daily meetings wearing down everybody, so people drift away - back to uni, jobs, home and a bath. Their demands become couched in a systemic analysis of everything wrong with capitalism, running to 29 pages and requiring a postgraduate degree in political thought to understand. Ordinary people are alienated. The police are violent, but against what looks like a bunch of hippies. The BBC doesn't report it. The mainstream's concerns have no voice or visibility again. The NHS continues to be sold down the river, and the Tories win the next election by convincing people that "being tough on the deficit" is (i) important and (ii) what they'll do.
As Chomsky is saying, how does this become more than a Tumblr and a few people in park, and get and keep the mass of the population behind it?
Macro trends
A couple of days ago I was thinking through the question, what's important now? Or rather, what is now - what are the currents shaping the way the world is going over the next 10 or so years?
Perhaps this was inspired by Jon Henley's article on September 11th, which argued that it wasn't actually the "day that changed everything", and many of the geopolitical events seen as consequences of the attack may have happened regardless.
One key trend is clearly black box algorithms:
In a speech at the technology conference TEDGlobal this summer, computer scientist Kevin Slavin argued that a profound shift is taking place: maths is undergoing a "transition from being something that we extract and derive from the world to something that actually starts to shape it".
The maths Slavin is talking about, and Harris is writing about, is algorithms. We are, he says, living in an "algo-world". If Slavin is right, algorithms are shaping everything from the goods we buy to the value of the money with which we buy them.[…]
The thing is, as systems of algorithms get more complex and take control of ever greater areas of everyday life, concerns are being raised over how much we're able to track what they're up to. The answer is: not all that much. As Slavin puts it: "We're writing these things that we can no longer read."
[Welcome to the algoworld, Sam Leith, Evening Standard, 12th Sept 2011]
Second, and bigger point - the stagnation and decline of the middle class standard of life.
Take a story that appeared in the Wall Street Journal Monday. The tale is nominally one about marketing strategy and it looks at how giant firm Procter & Gamble sells its household goods to its customers. But the picture that emerges is terrifying. P&G, it transpires, is cutting back on marketing to the disappearing middle classes, instead selling more and more to either high-income or low-income customers and abandoning the middle. Other big firms, like Heinz, are following suit. The piece reveals there is even a word for this strategy, helpfully coined by Citibank: the Consumer Hourglass Theory – because it denotes a society that bulges at the top and bottom and is squeezed in the middle.
The story contains some scary figures, such as the fact that the net worth of the middle fifth of American households has plunged by 26% in the last two years. Or that the income of the median American family, adjusted for inflation, is lower now than in 1998.
Or look at a story in the New York Times Tuesday. It starkly shows how the plight of the American working person has worsened. Solid jobs that once provided a secure grasp on middle class aims (a house, college for the kids, a retirement) have changed to become low-wage ones. It looks at the situation of some Detroit auto-workers, pointing out that new hires can find themselves working opposite long-term colleagues who do similar jobs yet earn twice as much. The system is called a "two tier" wage structure.
Perhaps that system can be justified as an emergency measure to keep Detroit's auto-industry alive and help it survive the current tough times. But, like the Consumer Hourglass Theory, it actually looks far more like the permanent shape of things to come. American society is bifurcating, squeezing the middle class out of existence. The ranks of the poor and low-income earners are growing and the rich are doing just fine – and no one is talking about it, much less doing anything about it.
[The decline and fall of the American middle class, Paul Harris, Guardian, 13th Sept 2011]

Summer is an ideal time for punting, but it's important to choose the right kind of punt. Here's a quick guide.
BNC (Beyond the News Cycle): The issue is punted into the near future in the hope that the audience will lose interest. For example, vague noises may be made about the possibility of a public enquiry.
BNE (Beyond the Next Election): The issue is punted into the arms of the next Government. A particularly effective punt when an election loss is expected.
BHL (Beyond the Honours List): The issue is punted so far into the future that the punter can expect to have received a life peerage before it returns to Earth. Suitable for issues with long half-lives, such as nuclear waste reprocessing.
BCO (Beyond the Clapham Omnibus): A particularly stylish punt in which the issue is punted not into the future, but into the intellectual stratosphere. It is suggested that those with a serious interest in the issue really need to understand another issue, such as the structure of complex financial instruments or European case law, in order to take part in the debate.
BPL (Beyond Party Lines): The issue is punted onto the moral high ground, beyond the reach of mere politics. Cross-party collaboration without a public debate is therefore not only permissible, but admirable.

We all get backed up sometimes. Usually it's with work, but sometimes it's something a bit more embarrassing. In those awkward moments, we could rush out and buy a package of chocolate-covered laxatives or some herbal teas or other medicines, but there is a method that doesn't have or need any packaging. That method is massage, and it can be done completely waste free. Hopefully, the only thing leaving behind waste will be you.
Pre-industrial civilizations used massage to treat a number of different ailments. Those methods still work today. Here is a list of those ailments that massage can treat.
From the Better Health Channel:
Back pain
Chronic pain
High blood pressure
From Ground Report:
Starting just under the rib cage, working down and out towards the waist. Be careful to keep your hands relaxed and contoured to your partner. With one hand on top of the other iron around the lower abdomen in large circles. Keep the pressure light and even. Fan your hands out and work from the navel out to the waist. Slide your hands under the waist then gently pull them back round to the front again. Repeat several times. Stroke diagonally with alternate hands from the waist down to below the navel, first on the left side, then on the right. Stroke down from the solar plexus to the navel, one hand behind the other, to finish off this area.
For those of you who learn by watching, here is a tutorial on how to give a proper Lomi Lomi Opu Huli, a Hawaiian abdominal massage.
Remember, this blog is not a doctor. If your constipation is severe, seek medical attention.

Off the beaten track but good apart hotelPosted Aug 5, 2014
Pros: Spacious rooms,

Spring Break Family VacationPosted Apr 21, 2014 on Hotels.com
Hotel nice in safe area. Amenities were good. It was spring break and we had trouble with receiving towels. It was a exchange policy and had to ask several times and they looked old thin almost like rags. We were disappointed with the size of sheets in ratio to the beds. The sheets were a nice quality however were not deep on the corners and would not stay on the bed. We cooked breakfast in the mornings and the pans they had were non stick but everything still stuck. Quality just wasn't there. Loved that there was laundry facilities on every other floor. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did get several calls trying to schedule a sales meeting for time share. We were not interested in purchasing.

Loved our stay at National HarborPosted Apr 19, 2014 on Hotels.com
We had a great vacation at Wyndham at National Harbor. The room was spacious with kitchen and living area. Loved the deep jacquzzi tub after a long day in the city too. Neighborhood was really new, lots of shopping and amenities within a four block city center. Super safe for the family but also nightlife for the adults. Plus free shuttles available to metro, bus station, and additional shopping. Would definitely recommend for a getaway trip! Only negative... It was a long trek from Baltimore Airport, about an hour without traffic. Just plan accordingly so you don't miss your flight home.

Not to far from Washington DCPosted Apr 1, 2014 on Hotels.com
Stayed with family while visiting DC. We had 2 room with kitchen and dining room, very nice especially with kids. Its located in a new area with plenty of places to shop and many restaurants, some are pricey. Parking is cheap and worth the price to stay.

Couldn't be nicer!Posted Mar 27, 2014 on Hotels.com
I stayed at this hotel when my conference hotel across the street was booked. First, everything within the National Harbor area is walkable, so this is a great location if you are here for a conference or want to use this as a jumping off point. My room was amazing! The highlight was definitely the Jacuzzi tub that I could watch TV in. I also enjoyed their natural, organic bath products. They were strict about the 4pm check-in, and my room wasn't even ready until 4:30pm, but this could have been a function of checking in on a Sunday when everyone else was checking out.

Nice Hotel, Great for FamiliesPosted Mar 19, 2014
Pros: Everything
Location: Great restaurants, safe location. Good transportation options.
Recently stayed at this Wyndham for a convention at the Gaylord. This is a very nice place only steps away from the hustle and bustle of the convention center. My business partner and I each had our own bedroom. The dining room served as a fantastic conference table and private meeting space. The living room was great for relaxing and winding down. Fully equipped kitchen with everything one would need, just add groceries. With the free shuttle to the national mall every half an hour I think this is a great option for business or extended family vacations to D.C. I will stay here again.

My Life Sucks... Vol.1
by Eric
posted Jan 5 2010 9:46AM
As the New Year passed I, like everyone else, vowed to make 2010 better than the previous years... Ha-ha, not very likely.
I take care of my mom every morning before coming to work. I get the paper, get her breakfast, do some laundry, make the bed and after getting securely into her favorite chair, head off to work.
Usually during the span of my time there I visit her bathroom, and as a rule, leave the window ajar. On this day (when the temps were hovering in the teens) I was greeted by the window being half open, and the room being equal in temperature to tha of the front lawn. After what can only be described as a chilly visit I flushed... and nothing moved! Oh sure the water made the familiar rushing sound, but the rest stayed put.
It was at that very moment that I realized that my prior "window jarring" had frozen not only the toilet water, but also the sink-drip from tap to drain! In a panic I used the toilet scrub brush to smash the icy 1/4 inch skim and all went to its intended ending.
My life sucks!

Serwa named to Olympic ski cross team
As expected, Kelowna's Kelsey Serwa was named to Canada's Olympic Ski Cross team.
The announcement was made Monday morning in Vancouver.
Serwa is part of a six member team including three women and three men.
She will be joined in Sochi by teammates Marielle Thompson and Georgia Simmerling. They were added to the roster to compete in the women's event. Canada can claim pedigree in the women's division with Ashleigh McIvor winning Olympic gold in Vancouver four years earlier.
All three women are among top 10 on the ski cross World Cup leaderboard, though Thompson is at the top of the heap ahead of a pair of Swiss competitors.
Among the men, Dave Duncan, Chris Del Bosco and Brady Leman were given the official and exclusive Team Canada nomination jackets from The Hudson's Bay Co., signaling their place on the Canadian Olympic Team.
Like their female counterparts, all three Canadian male ski cross athletes are in the top 10 in overall World Cup points standings. Duncan is the highest ranked Canadian in second place.
The addition of Serwa means nine athletes from the Southern Interior, stretching from Penticton to Kamloops, will take part in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Other regional athletes competing include:
- Kevin Hill Vernon - Snowboard Cross
- Justin Dorey Vernon - Halfpipe
- Justin Kripps Summerland - Bobsleigh
- Matt Margetts Penticton - Halfpipe
- Duncan Keith Penticton - Hockey
- Eric Neilson Kelowna - Skeleton
- Shea Weber Sicamous - Hockey
- Jessica Hewitt Kamloops - Short Track Speed Skating
The Olympics begin with the opening ceremonies Feb 7.
Castanet will have extensive coverage of the games with a focus on the accomplishments of these nine athletes.

I like this photo very much. It shows a lot of what I am or who I am. A lonesome human being that tend to enjoy some alone time. Deep down, it may be all an illusion…
This what I call home.
Another volunteering day; it seems that occupied my time helping others more than helping myself. I'm not sure if that has always been my fault; I forget that I'm in it and give all. Then when I get a little selfish, I'm seen as something of another world.
This was pleasant day in Central Park; I bonded with some coworkers and enjoyed a morning of laughters and for a little while forgot that I was in the middle of concrete and hard life.
Memories of another past. A dream in the making that din't happen… more about this time to come!
My recent posting has been photos that I have linked to my Instagram; it seems that I no longer have time to keep writing here; it just got so easy to express myself with photos that I forget the inspiration behind why I started this blog. I have made a pledge to at least try a little harder. So, here I am!
This photos was taken on a volunteering day in the Bronx, I spend half of my day planting threes with a bunch of people that somehow are related to what I do for a living. I love the darkness of me and the mist that represent some sort of secrets; enigmatic I guess.

Video-sharing site Vimeo's first film festival and competition opened Friday, and will conclude on Saturday with an award ceremony and a grand prize of $25,000 going to the best online film. A panel of high-profile judges, including David Lynch, Morgan Spurlock, Roman Coppola and Vincent Laforet helped choose 45 finalists in nine categories from among the 6,500 submissions from 12 countries.
Some of the judges view Vimeo's event as a big step toward legitimizing online video as an art form and business model for Web-based filmmakers.
"I'm very drawn to the entrepreneurial aspect," says Coppola, who judged the music video category. "The competition just shows what can be done with a camera and computer, and shows the amazing things that can happen with a little bit of creativity and a lot of perseverance."
Coppola, who has done some Internet filmmaking in the past, sees the Web as a place for experimentation and a great showcase for new ideas and talent.
Laforet, the narrative category judge and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, agreed and was impressed by the level of work he saw.
"One of the entries could have been out of a Peter Jackson film, the quality was that good," he says. "I know the director has gotten some work since."
But the judges believe that the festival not only points to new ways of filmmaking and distribution, but also new business models. Coppola says he was surprised a micropayments model for independent online films hasn't already come out.
Laforet says he expects the industry to follow an iTunes model, where viewers pay small amounts to see online videos. This could be viable, he says, because the cost of making a indie film has gone down as the technology has become cheaper and more available.
"Most of these these small independent films cost anywhere from $30,000 to $300,000, the amount a young filmmaker can reasonably raise from private investors," he says. "If you charge $2 to $3 per view, you only need 100,000 users to see the film to make a small profit."
Though Laforet hasn't experimented with payment for his own online films, he says he is a big user of Vimeo and has seen good returns in terms of viewership. "On average, my films are seen 2,700 times a day on Vimeo, and I'm not doing anything to promote them."
Below is one of the finalists vying for the $25,000:
