The Taylorsville City Commission voted last Tuesday night to continue its course and purchase the needed equipment for the city police department to operate on P-25 radio technology.
Several years ago, the county's 911 Committee, which is comprised of emergency agency department heads, agreed to move in the P-25 direction — a move that is recommended by the Department of Homeland Security with the idea that the more agencies that use P-25 technology, the more agencies that will be able to communicate with each other in the event of a disaster or emergency.
However, P-25 is not the technology most recently purchased by the county for the Spencer County Sheriff's Department and Spencer County EMS. Those agencies will be operating on ICOM radios with NextEdge digital technology.
The Taylorsville Police Department will purchase analog radios that are P-25 digital capable.
P-25 digital technology cannot directly interact with NextEdge digital technology.
Overall, NextEdge technology is less expensive, but P-25 technology is the standard recommended by the federal government.
Taylorsville Police Chief Toby Lewis presented the commission with two options last Tuesday night.
The first option was to purchase the same technology the county recently purchased:
•5 digital mobile radios at $637.50 each for a total of $3,187.50 (the department already has two of these radios)
•6 digital handheld radios at $513 each for a total of $3,078 (the department already has one of these radios)
•7 VHF low profile antennas at $10.28 each for a total of $71.96
•7 rapid rate chargers at $52.50 each for a total of $367.50
•7 military spec. noice control speaker microphones at $72.38 each for a total of $506.66
•7 leather swivel belt loop with portable D-ring attachment at $19.73 each for a total of $138.11
The total cost for all of the needed NextEdge technology equipment would be $7,349.73.
The second option, which the commission ultimately chose, was to purchase the P-25 technology:
•1 Quantar P-25 duplexer (used) for $4,000
•3 P-25 handheld radios at $425 each for a total of $1,275
•4 P-25 mobile radios at $975 each for a total of $3,900
The total cost of the needed P-25 technology equipment would be $9,175.
Lewis told the commission that the department already has three in-car mobile radios and five handheld radios and would be using the current antennas at Settler's Trace.
The monetary difference in the needed equipment for the two systems is $1,825.27.
In the early stages of the county's plans to purchase the ICOM radios, Judge-Executive Bill Karrer offered for the county to purchase the needed NextEdge technology radios for the county.
The city police department and the sheriff's department share the same radio frequency, so the transition seemingly would have been smoother if both agencies were using the same technology.
At an Oct. 22 meeting of the City Commission, Karrer presented his offer to the commission. At that meeting, the city voted to accept the offer, let the county use its water towers for the new radio antennas and to develop a memorandum of understanding with county to put the details in writing.
On Oct. 30, Karrer and Mayor Don Pay signed an MOU.
However, at a special Nov. 1 meeting, the commission voted to nullify the MOU because Pay had signed it before bringing it back for approval.
"We asked that day that they meet with us," Commissioner Kathy Spears said last Tuesday night. "Don signed the MOU, but we hadn't approved it. We never told them they couldn't use the towers."
The motion made Nov. 1 regarding emergency radio equipment was "that the MOU signed by the mayor on 10-30-12 is null and void and that the MOU of March 2011 is still in effect until such time that we come up with a new workable agreement."
However, instead of meeting to come up with a workable agreement, at the Nov. 5 Fiscal Court meeting, Karrer made it known that the county would put in its own tower on its own property and withdrew the offer to provide funding for city radio equipment.
Chief Lewis has submitted an application so that the city police department can have its own radio frequency, but those applications take several months to process.
On the separate radio systems, the city police department and the sheriff's department will only be able to communicate via radio under certain circumstances.
Both radio systems can operate on analog frequencies and can send and receive transmissions.
If the sheriff's department operates its radios in "mixed mode," deputies can send digital communications, and as long as an analog response is keyed up within a set time frame (for example, three or five seconds) a responding analog radio could be heard.
If the sheriff's department is operating in a digital mode, a city police officer would need to radio dispatch in Frankfort to ask the deputy to switch to analog for the two to be able to communicate.
The P-25 system will enable the city police department to communicate with other agencies, such as the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Kentucky State Police.

7-Eleven takes Slurpee's viral
If you're looking for a good example of how to create a viral campaign from a branded micro-site, look no further than the new site launched by 7-Eleven. As North American's head into the Spring and Summer months this new campaign, which encourages consumers to use the site to see how their favorite Slurpee changes their look, is certain to bring consumers back time after time.
7-Eleven partnered with Omnicom Group's Freshworks/The Integer Group to create the microsite to promote the Slurpee brand of frozen drinks; the 'Brainfreeze Laboratory' allows users to upload their own picture to see how drinking their favorite flavor will change their complexion. The pictures can then be sent to friends.
7-Eleven is cross-promoting the viral campaign with banner ads, promotional emails and on the micro-site itself; the campaign runs through July - the height of Slurpee Season.
When it comes to viral campaigns the key is to offer consumers something they may not get from anyone else and to make the micro-site fun.
Although photo-manipulating websites are out there, most are targeted to women looking for a new hairstyle or makeup lesson; this is one of the first manipulation platforms that should appeal to both men and women, younger and older consumers. From the fun standpoint, marketers need only look at the 7-Eleven campaign or at Office Max's holiday 'Elf Yourself' campaign to see that consumers like to create caricatures of themselves to share with friends and family.

I have a single WordPress installation & I want to activate Multisite with subdirectory (to translate in a second language). Page are ranking well & getting quite a few visit a month.
When I try to activate Multisite network, I have a warning that basically say "main website installed in a subdirectory will have a custom permalink structure, which might broke some existing link" (I'm translating from french..)
I guess that's because of the slug /blog that is automatically added to the existing site permalink ? How can I enable Multisite without loosing all my Pagerank on the existing site ?

In his recent piece, "How to Read President Obama's New Budget," Senior Fellow David Wessel includes this chart showing the share of federal revenue from various sources:
Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy, explains:
Of course, all this money has to come from somewhere. This year, Washington will borrow about 14 cents for every dollar it spends. (That's a sharp contrast to the worst year of the recession when it borrowed 44 cents for every dollar spent.) The rest comes from taxes. Measured as a share of the economy, taxes in the current fiscal year will be about 17.5% of GDP, roughly in line with the 17.4% average for the past 40 years. But the source of those revenues has changed significantly over the years: The payroll tax levied on wages to financial Social Security and Medicare accounts for a growing share of federal receipts; the tax on corporate profits represents a shrinking share.
This year, about 46% of all revenues come from the individual income tax, 34% from the Social Security/Medicare payroll tax and 12% from taxes on corporate profits. Forty years earlier, it was 45% from the individual income tax, not much change there. But 15% came from the Social Security/Medicare payroll tax and 29% from taxes on corporate profits.
Read the full post which includes additional charts about understanding the federal budget.

Lake Wales' Brinson Suspended for Six Weeks by FHSAA
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
LAKE WALES | If Lake Wales can make the playoffs, all is not lost for Dedric Brinson.
The senior cornerback was a handed a six-game suspension by the Florida High School Athletic Association on Thursday after the Iowa State commit was ejected from this past Friday's game against Haines City for pushing a referee to the ground during a second-half rainstorm.
FHSAA spokesman Corey Sobers said in an email that Brinson's six-week suspension would begin from the date the incident occurred, Sept. 27.
"Well, we are going to appeal that, too, and see what happens," Lake Wales head coach Rod Shafer said.
Shafer said Brinson was only trying to get the referee's attention to contest a no-call after he was hit in the back by an opposing player following the whistle.
"The whole point was he never had any intention of knocking the ref down," Shafer said. "(Brinson) got hit straight in the back. He got killed by a cheap shot after he had blocked the kid as he was jogging back, and he got drilled in the back."
Shafer said he was originally worried the incident would lead to a level three suspension, and the injury-plagued Highlanders would lose Brinson for a year.
"When people get caught in fights, they get six weeks," Shafer said. "He didn't call anyone a name or anything. He deserves to be punished; I am not arguing that at all. He was only trying to get his attention, not knock anybody down. But you can't touch anyone. Six weeks is giving up his entire senior year and makes him look like a thug, and he is anything but that. He tutors kids all summer. He's just a great kid."
With Thursday's ruling, the 6-foot-2, 175-pound defensive back would be available for the Class 5A playoffs if the short-roster Highlanders can muster one of the two state playoff berths awarded in District 10.
Lake Wales (2-3, 1-0) is tied with Auburndale for the district lead heading into tonight's district home game with Poinciana.
Shafer said Tuesday he was notified the officials cited the ejection in their game report and sent a copy to the FHSAA for review.
The veteran Lake Wales coach said he was hoping game film could be used in Brinson's defense, but the camera stopped filming after the whistle blew.

The Conflicting Values Behind The Shalit Deal
Why The Swap Will Harm Israel
The prisoner exchange deal that Israel struck with Hamas last week does not make sense in terms of the country's foreign and defense policy goals. A country that has been a victim of terrorism for decades -- and that maintains that nations should never negotiate with terrorist organizations -- has done exactly that, exchanging 1,027 convicted terrorists (550 of whom were directly involved in multiple murders) for one soldier, Gilad Shalit.
Although the government initially considered military action to recover Shalit, who was abducted on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip in 2006, it was never a feasible option. Gaza's dense and hostile population would have made any rescue mission messy and dangerous. Moreover, Israeli intelligence had never determined his precise whereabouts. Over time -- and under immense public pressure -- the Israeli government began to entertain the notion of a political deal, the basic contours of which were drawn as early as 2007. (Israel would free roughly 550 Hamas prisoners, Hamas would free Shalit, and then Israel would free another 450.) At the time -- and when it resurfaced in 2009 -- the administration of then-Prime Minster Ehud Olmert rejected the deal because the price was too high. Yet two and a half years later, both parties agreed to strikingly similar terms.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that he accepted the deal now for two reasons. First, he argues that he inherited the basic outlines of the swap from his predecessor, Olmert, and could not change them, certainly not with public opinion so

Sergey and Marina Dyachenko are the recipients of the most prestigious literary awards in science-fiction Russia. They were honored as the European Science-fiction Society's Best Writers of Europe in Eurocon 2005. Sergey and Marina are married and live with their daughter in Moscow.

- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
The words VITA NOSTRA, or "our life," come from an old Latin student anthem Gaudeamus : "Vita nostra brevis est, Brevi finietur" or "Our life is brief, It will shortly end ..."
The heroine of the novel has been forced into a seemingly inconceivable situation. Against her will, she must enter the Institute of Special Technologies. A slightest misstep or failure at school—and the students' loved ones pay a price. Governed by fear and coercion, Sasha will learn the meaning of the phrase "In the beginning was the word ..."
VITA NOSTRA is a thrilling journey into the deepest mysteries of existence, a dizzying adventure, an opening into a world that no one has ever described, a world that frightens and attracts the readers of the novel.
The novel combines the seemingly incongruous aspects—spectacular adventures and philosophical depth, incredible transformations and psychological accuracy, complexity of ethical issues and mundane details of urban life.
VITA NOSTRA enjoyed a considerable critical acclaim in Russia. It has received eight major literary prizes and has been named the best novel of the twenty first century in the sci-fi/fantasy genre (Prize of Prizes, Eurocon-2008, Moscow). It has been translated into several languages.
VITA NOSTRA has been optioned by Timur Bekmambetov, director and producer (NIGHT WATCH, WANTED and others).
"The Dyachenkos are quite possibly the very best modern Russian-language fiction writers working in the genre of the allegorical novel. The emotional lavishness of their prose reaches beyond boundaries. The degree of self-identification with the character that they require of their reader can be compared only with the all-encompassing feeling of love."
—The Viva magazine
"They create an astounding world, sometimes chilling and frightening, sometimes shockingly beautiful and bizarre. The combination of two drastically different people—different in age, temperament, and previous occupations (Marina was an actress, Sergey—a psychiatrist) gives us a chance to touch the reality of miracles."
—The Peter Book magazine
"Vita Nostra—it's a book that has the potential to become a modern classic of its genre."
—Lev Grossman, a novelist, a senior writer and book critic for TIME magazine
"One thing is clear—Marina and Sergey Dyachenko are avidly read by both the intellectuals and those who never read. In the era of aggressive militant immorality, Marina and Sergey dared to place their money on the world created by them, the world that is fundamentally ethical. It is a world in which the victors are judged."
—News of the Capital newspaper
"The interest in a human being, in the depths of his soul is the main theme of any work by the Dyachenkos..."
—The New World magazine
"VITA NOSTRA is a fantasy, but a fantasy so authentic that, having turned its last page, I thought that Marina and Sergey Dyachenko somehow know everything that happened to me during the first year of my adult life. I am so grateful to them for giving me another chance to relive those experiences; with all the means of cinematography at my disposal, I will do my best to convey the magic of those times."
—Timur Bekmambetov, film director, producer

Brilliant writing ruined by blasphemous ending "twist."
Take the world as you know it and turn it upside down. Humans and words are connected in a profound way in this amazing novel! Having just finished it, my mind still reeling from the implications in this book. Sacha, the main character, gets chosen to attend a special school (which was not easy). When she arrives she embarks on an education that challenges her entire being, she will become something she never dreamed. Read it!

Manteca firefighters who "Filled the Boot" last month for Jerry's Kids were in violation of municipal law that prohibits the solicitation of money for any reason within 100 feet of an intersection.
It's been a year since Tevanie Deanne Lantz, 35, was stabbed to death in a neighbor's front yard by her husband who is currently facing murder in the first degree with a special circumstance enhancement.
Word has obviously gotten around that there is little or no wait at the Manteca branch of the state Department of Motor Vehicles – not true, the line was unbelievable Thursday morning.
Hundreds of cars were stopped Friday night in a driving under the influence check point at the beginning of the July 4 weekend with only one DUI arrest made by Manteca Police officer Greg Beall on South Washington Street.

On April 6, 2008, Augustin Gurza reviewed the Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement, which included four of my paintings.
(The article also included a photo gallery, which included my "Tropical Baby (Self Portrait)", which can be found here.)
'Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement' provides a rare showcase at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
By Agustin Gurza, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
April 6, 2008
VISITORS to the sprawling Chicano art show opening today at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are greeted by a display of photos depicting a group of daring guerrilla street artists known as ASCO, Spanish for "nausea." The photographs are from the early 1970s -- which seems to defy the show's title, "Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement."
In one famous photo from 1972, in the midst of the movement, the museum itself was the target of these Dadaesque subversives protesting the exclusion of Chicano art from its galleries. In "Spray Paint LACMA," ASCO member Patssi Valdez is seen posing outside the museum's walls, which had been tagged overnight by her rebellious cohorts, Gronk, Willie Herron III and Harry Gamboa Jr. This act of creative defiance -- turning the building into a Chicano canvas -- is now enshrined in the very place that sparked the protest by treating Chicanos as the phantoms of the art world. So does this mean that Chicano artists have finally found the acceptance they sought? That they can now put down their spray cans and pursue careers as equals in a harmonious "post-ethnic" art world?
"I have a feeling if I was a young person today, I don't think I would spray paint the museum," Gamboa, 56, an author and college lecturer, answers slyly. "Because now, [tagging] has been felonized, and to put three signatures on a county building might result in three strikes. Who knows if we would all wind up in prison for life and never have the chance to pursue careers as artists?"
Half the artists in the current exhibition weren't even born when Gamboa and company tagged the museum, but they carry on the ASCO conceptual tradition by expressing their own set of social concerns in bold, albeit at times oblique, ways. Thus, the choice of ASCO as preamble is an intriguing invitation to rethink Chicano art, past and present.
I'm thrilled that El Jardin Femenil Y Otros Ocasos opened last weekend at the Walter Maciel Gallery and runs from February 25th- April 7, 2012. Seriously, it felt like giving birth! In this body of work, I continue to explore the role of women and men in narratives associated with the narco-trafficking conflict in Latin America. The paintings explore the role of women in this male-dominated culture of drug trafficking, as well as the men and victims who get entangled in it. The Narco Venus paintings depict women as metaphorical "queens" or goddesses, a la reclining nude. They are set in fantastical jewel-encrusted landscapes, where the euphoria of being in a narcotic-induced state and one of newly found wealth meet their ultimate demise in the dark smudges and marks of an abstract abyss. In smaller paintings, male heads emerge from black landscapes, a nod to countless victims of the narco-wars and to the drug lords themselves. El Jardin Femenil Y Otros Ocasos translated means the female garden and other dark sunsets or twilights. Here the use of the word femenil as opposed to feminine is key to the meaning of the paintings. The word femenil describes a female league or school, while feminine is more about having certain attributes of the femme or girlish kind. I thought this was key, since my paintings are inspired by women involved in the narco-trafficking world, they are in essence, in a league of their own. Y Otros Ocasos can be loosely translated to mean and other sunsets or twilights and refers to the small dark paintings of male heads hidden within the brush. The word ocaso is a beautiful poetic word that you might see pop up in Latin American poets of the Mid-Century usually used to refer to the decline or twilight of life.
The exhibition is comprised of four large scale panoramic paintings of women set in lush jewel-encrusted tropical gardens, small portraits of males (the ocasos), and a video entitled El Reporte Femenil/ The Female Report, a Telemundo style news report about the role of women in Latin American Literature and Politics. More on that later.

CARGA goes to Shadowshop at SFMOMA. CARGA, the collaborative effort between Carolyn Castaño and Gary Dauphin seems to be getting some wind, with invitations to participate in artist made ventures in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. The economy is down and gallery sales may be slow, but artists are putting together their ingenuity, smarts, and skills to work by making comodifiable objets that use their art and design skillz to make accessible things. Hence..the CRAFT revolution as witnessed by sites like Etsy.com and the blog Craftzine, the Local Artisans Bazaar at the Fix in Echo Park, featured in the LA Weekly's best craft bazaar, and smaller shops incorporating artist made wares, such as SPECIFIC, run by Brooks Hudson Thomas, artist turned entrepreneur. At SFMOMA, Shadowshop will be featuring CARGA's t-shirts with soccer all stars- Los Inmortales. Soccer immortals such as Brazil's Pele, Argentina's Maradona, and Colombia's El Pibe. Also featured at Shadowshop will be the Narco Novia tote, a carry-all tote for your narco girl needs.
From the SFMOMA website:
Shadowshop is a temporary, alternative store and distribution point, organized by artist Stephanie Syjuco and embedded within the museum's fifth-floor galleries. While operating as an actual mom-and-pop-style store, Shadowshop is also a platform for exploring the ways in which artists are navigating the production, consumption, and dissemination of their work. For almost six months, Shadowshop will feature hundreds of local Bay Area artist products, give museum visitors access to a wide variety of affordable wares, and provide a snapshot of a vibrant and energetic art scene.

Asesinados United by Carolyn Castaño

PØST presents Asesinados United: Works by Carolyn Castaño.
Asesinados United, is part art exhibition, part lo-fi pop-up store and part World Cup closing party. For her one-night show Castaño has created prints and original t-shirt designs that memorialize or re-imagine both soccer greats, as well as players who were murdered at the height of their glory.
The Asesinados United series of prints and shirts considers the role of the soccer player's image in invoking a fanatical passion for futbol, each face a powerful vessel for locally distinct – yet global – notions of heroism, manhood, pride and financial success. As representatives of their country playing on the world stage, a soccer player's performance during the Cup has national implications, elevating him to national hero or, in the case of players on the 2010 French national team, reducing them to national embarrassments. Sometimes a player's performance may even have deadly consequences, as with the own-goal that cost Colombian defender Andrés Escobar his life after the 1994 World Cup. Just as failure on the pitch can cost a man his life, so can too much success, as it was for Thiago Jotta da Silva, a Brazilian footballer who was brutally murdered by a jilted ex-girlfriend, or Joe Gaetjens, a Haitian soccer player who scored the winning goal in the US vs. England 1950 World Cup in Brazil, only to return to Haiti a hero and be disappeared by the Duvalier regime.
Running in parallel to the Asesinados, the Inmortales F.C. series will feature recent World Cup players who have made their mark in the 2010 World Cup, or are simply immortal.
Gallery hours are and receptions are 7-9 PM. For further information please

Bookmeat is an exciting event benefiting Side Street Projects on November 21, 2009 from 6 pm-10 pm at the Brick Building in Culver City . For those of you not familiar with Side Street Projects, the program founded by Karen Atkinson and Joe Luttrel in 1992, is a completely mobile artist-run non-profit organization, which teaches artists to be self-reliant with workshops such as "Get Your Shit Together" bootcamp for artists, "Best Professional Practices Podcast Series" and the "Equipment Co-op", which provides access to equipment usually too expensive for some of us artist civilians to access. What I find really wonderful is Side Street Projects own resourcefulness, operating out of Pasadena in two restored vintage trailers with a solar energy array, Side Street is completely wireless, mobile, and self-sustaining. I've been wanting to have my mobile studio for years and this is really an inspiration!
For the Bookmeat, artists were asked to donate a book that had influenced them or played some part in their art practice. I was having the toughest time trying to think of what to give. I have a wide collection of books and authors who have influenced me in some way. Do I give the catalogue of Lari Pittman's paintings, an artist and mentor who has influenced and supported my work? Or do I give "Smart Women Finish Rich" a very useful book on how to survive capitalism , written for women by a man. Thanks mom! Or Do I something more theory-ish..like say Rosalind Krauss, Bachelors, which influenced an earlier body of work? I saw some of the fine examples of artists who had turned in their copies early ( You eager beavers!) and saw the wonderful drawings by Steve Roden and Christopher Russell. A light bulb went off in my head the inscription can be more like an annotation or drawings in the form of annotations......aaaahhhhhh....
The bootleg version of Amando Pablo, Odiando Escobar was my donation to Bookmeat. It was given to me by my father. He bought the illicit copy from the street vendors in Cali, which I feel gives it another layer of meaning. Cali, the home of brothers Gilberto and Miguel Rodriguez- Orejuela of the Cali Cartel were mortal enemies with Pablo and his Medellin Cartel. According to Virginia's book, a night spent in the arms of Gilberto was what launched an all out turf war between rival cartels. If you're intrigued, 2010 promises the release of the English version, Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar and if you contact me, I might personalize your copy. Oh yeah and please buy from an authorized dealer.
I organized a one night screening of videos by artists from Los Angeles and San Francisco entitled, Favorite This! at the Meridian Gallery in San Francisco. Part of my motivation for organizing the screening, was being inspired by some of my friends video pieces and wanting to share of these with a larger public. I made a call out to friends and friends of friends to send me their stuff. Without much in the way of parameters, I said "just send me what you have". Everyday was a delight, when I would go to my mailbox and right there next to my ever accruing bills, were these little packages containing the submissions for Favorite This! Each one was individually wrapped and packaged, reflecting the artist' particular artistic mission and taste. From the plain bubble wrapped CD mailer, a pink picture book, a DVD box set, a glassine wrapped disc. Some nights, I would come home to find little discs tucked into the planter next to my front door. With my live in love, exclaiming, " I opened the door and a weary eyed girl handed me this disc!" Were those the tired eyes of late night video editing? Oh final cut..How I love thee. I set out to arrange the pieces in the screening into some cohesive format, sitting for hours viewing Quicktimes and making notes on them. I noticed themes in common, like a certain quality of light, narrative or texture. The screening opened up with pieces I saw as exploring narrative and drama. In a lovely piece by Jordan Biren, It Was Dark as Night and Shadows, chiaroscuros hide and reveal characters trapped in a ritual of smoky eyed looking and not looking.
In others there was the use of collage aesthetics, see Tricia Lawless Murray's L' Autoportrait, cut-n-paste film making ( Krista Chael's Black Bayou Swan animation or as I like to call it faux animation, as in Nao Bustamante's #1, from the series the Earth people, where her champaign poodle FUFU is coiffed in the manner of an American Bison. The city and nature were juxtaposed in Michael Damm's video, a projection of urban locales projected onto a Oakland street corner and Stephanie Allespach's Walden Musings: Aims of an Anarchist. There was also a lovely marriage of works in the politically charged pieces by Andy Cox and Nancy Popp in Hostage video and United States Code 2340A, respectively. The last sequence of video's explored the artist as narrator, auteur, or Christ figure. Gordon Winiemko in Meet the Artist or Cliff Hengst as Jesus Christ stalking San Francisco's Mission district,a spoof or commentary on the sidewalk proselytizing that occurs in street corners across America. The screening room at Meridian was pretty filled until approximately 11:30, when the crowd started to peter out. After that only the hardcores were left standing or leaning to watch the LA Art Girls's piece Strangelove, a remake line by line and scene by scene of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 Doctor Strangelove, Or how I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Here is a little blurb from the press release.......
Favorite This! takes its title from the blogging and viral video phenomenon of "favoriting" and "sharing" an internet find. Favorite This! connects the work of video artists with video work spread across the internet in social media websites such as Facebook, My Space and You-Tube.
Video makers can be said to be predecessors or even trailblazers of the current DIY video phenomenon found on sites such as You-Tube, where the democratic platform has allowed everyone from the amateur filmmaker to TV networks and Hollywood production houses to post videos for public view. As early adaptors of film- making equipment, such as the movie camera, the video camera and more recently digital editing software, artists have used DIY strategies to bend the medium of film and video, in works that are abstract, performative, and narrative.

Product Description
From Amazon
David Breashears has climbed Mt. Everest four times. For this, he is known as a world-class mountaineer. A lengthy career in documentary filmmaking--including the Imax film, Everest--has earned him wide acclaim and four Emmy awards. For this, he is known as one of the elite cinematographers in his field. But his new autobiography, High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Other High Places, proves he is more than a climber and a filmmaker; he is also an able writer.
Breashears has no lack of good material. We follow him through the stunning backdrops of Yosemite, Europe, Nepal, and Tibet, brushing up against triumphs and tragedies along the way. And while the nuts and bolts of his adventures are entertainment enough, his knack for building suspense and employing understated drama makes his autobiography read like a novel: "The morning was sunny and calm, and Rob looked as though he'd lain down on his side and fallen asleep. Around him the undisturbed snow sparkled in the sun. I stared at his bare left hand ... I wondered what a mountaineer with Rob's experience was doing without a glove."
Breashears also likes to remind his audience of humble beginnings surmounted: his early climbing days when he was known as "the kid," and a winter he spent sleeping under a sheet of plywood during the Wyoming oil boom when he was called "the worm." But mostly he documents his filmmaking career and climbing passion, both of which he approaches with an obsessive fervor. Readers interested in either pursuit will find High Exposure a fascinating traverse across the spine of the world. --Ben Tiffany --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Possibly the most interesting aspect of this book is how improbable it seems that Breashears (Mountain Without Mercy) ever lived to write it. An accomplished alpinist, Breashears not only recounts his numerous, dicey ascents of the planets peaks but also explores his motivation for doing so. Though he is an experienced cinematographer whose past employers range from PBS to Hollywood, Breashears is most widely known as the director of the IMAX film Everest. While filming the movie, Breashears and his crew were fortunate to avoid the unforgiving storm at the mountains summit that led to the death of eight people and was chronicled in Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air. Breashears uses that tragic season on Everest as a frame for a personal memoir. The focus is on how he stepped out of the shadow of his violent military father and discovered his passions for climbing and filmmaking. Some of his psychology is simplistic, but there is no doubt that Breashears is as serious about understanding his actions as he is about succeeding in them. And there is no shortage of action, whether he is scaling a 1000-foot vertical rock or narrowly escaping being swept off a cliff by a runaway tonnage of snow. Though at times the book is self-aggrandizing, a little ego can be tolerated in this largely engrossing work, and is, perhaps, only to be expected from someone who has four times scrabbled up the ice and rocks of Everest to reach the top of the world. 16 pages full-color photos not seen by PW. Major ad/promo; appearances on Larry King Live and Today; first serial to Mens Journal.

He touches on many interesting aspects of various climbs he has made but they are better understood by reading the book rather than a review.
The best part of the book is the story of his climb of Everest for the IMAX film and his participation in the attempted rescue of the climbers stranded there in the disaster of 1996. There are better books that describe the disaster itself (see Krakauer or Bokoreev for example). But Breashears interest isn't in describing the events of the disaster as much as it is in trying to explain the desire to climb peaks like Everest while honoring those he knew who lost their lives in the disaster. The tale is both fascinating and heart rending.
This is a book that's hard to put down. While it stands well on its own, a reader who enjoys the book should take a look at the film that came out of it (Everest can be found in IMAX - it's best version - but also in a very good video version) and follow up with two different views of the disaster by two people who lived it: "Into Thin Air" and "The Climb."
Strangely, he talked much about his father, who appeared to be just an unpleasant distant memory, someone he had little feelings, yet he hardly mentioned his mother and how close was their relationship. He said that he had a great time with Veronique when working side by side with each other and he worked her very hard, but no details to illustrate. His marriage failure told much about a man whose passion for the mountains was much greater than his love for his wife. There is no right or wrong, everyone makes choices and bears the responsibility of such choices.
This book is about how a man became what and who he is now. It has much details on how he climbed higher each time and how his skills evolved to be who he is today. But if you want to see the man beyond his achievement, you only get some clues, which only whet your appetite for curiosity. Maybe that's the angle of the book, to focus on how and what he achieved, than on anything too personal.
enthralled by the photo of Tenzing Norgay on the summit of Everest which began a
lifelong attraction to Mount Everest that didn't end until 1997. After the family left a
harsh and abusive father (a career army officer), the family returned to Cheyenne,
Wyoming where the author attended public school and started to develop rock climbing
skills. The text narrates his development of rock climbing skill and describes several climbs
as he progressively made more difficult climbs. The author notes "In the American
climbing system, climbs are rated not only by the degree of difficulty....but also by length
and commitment...."and reveals that there is a well defined "pecking order" among rock
climbers with your climbing social position determined by the ratings of the climbs that
you have completed. While this may appear narrow minded and prejudiced, mutual trust
and respect between climbing partners is critical and the author notes "The most
fundamental aspects of climbing are trust, respect and self-reliance. A tacit understanding
with your companion is that you are experienced enough to know your limits and to not
endanger others."
After the family moved to Colorado, he wrecked his mother's car returning from a climb.
Needing money to repair the car, he worked in the Wyoming oil fields. While not directed
related to his climbing career, Breashears account of his oil field experience is intriguing.
However, he was glad to return home when spring arrived.
Over half of the text is devoted to his learning the art of film making and to his
increasingly more difficult climbing experiences.Read more ›

Bill Plympton Idiots and Angels
Idiots and Angels
"Bill Plympton never knows when to stop. Thank God! How can he be so funny, poetic and cruel at the same moment? Where does he buy his drugs?"—Terry Gilliam
One of Americas most acclaimed, outrageous, and brilliant independent animators, Bill Plympton visits to introduce and discuss his two most recent films.
Shortlisted for the Best Animated Film Academy Award, the wildly inventive feature film Idiots and Angels sees a barfly discover a pair of wings sprouting from his back. After being ridiculed by his friends, he repeatedly tries to hack the wings off but they take control of him and force his acts of cruelty into gestures of kindness. Featuring music by Tom Waits. (78 mins., 35mm)
Plympton's brand new, multi-award-winning short, The Cow Who Wanted to Be a Hamburger, opens the evening. The film is an unusual children's fable about the power of advertising, the meaning of life, and the test of a mother's love. (6 mins., 35mm)
Plympton will sign copies of his new book, Independently Animated, and DVDs at the Wexner Center Store at 6 pm.

What a Guy Really Wants, and Why
I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to give it to me straight.I've heard all sorts of answers from all sorts of guys, so my B.S. detectoris finely tuned and has had quite a bit of practice. So I need you to levelwith me when you answer this question:
Why do you want to work out?
Why does any guy want to work out? Why train with weights at all?If you said "to lower my cholesterol levels," "to touch the rim," or "to preventosteoporosis later in life," I'm not buying it. There's nothing wrong with thosebenefits, and I'm sure you'll achieve them from the workouts I've designed. Butcome on. You don't lift because you're worried about your health or your performancein pickup basketball games.
You work out so you can increase your chances of hooking up. That meanshaving the kind of physique that looks good in clothes and looks even betternaked.
I'll accept variations on that answer. Like, "I go to the gym because my wifetells me to." Or, "If I don't stay in shape, my girlfriend will find someone whodoes." I know a few guys who won't even go to the grocery store if they don'tlook their best.
I get it. Some guys are born motivated, some achieve motivation, and somehave motivation thrust upon them. But at the root of our motivation is an understandingthat, when all else is equal, the guy with the better physique gets the girl.The combination of well-developed muscle mass and minimal body fat (whatanthropologists mean when they report that the indigenous males of a particularregion are "jacked") is a sign of reproductive fitness. It shows that you have moretestosterone than the next guy, even if you don't. The more primed women arefor sex, the more they notice. (True fact: Published scientific research shows thatwomen are more attracted to the manliest men when they are ovulating thanthey are at other times in their menstrual cycle.) If you're Tarzan, she's game.
So let's start this relationship with some mutual candor. I wrote this bookbecause nobody else did. There was a time, not long ago, when I wanted toknow more about building my body in hopes of accumulating more frequent fornicationpoints. I wanted exactly what you want: muscles that women notice.I couldn't find that book, because it wasn't yet written. Instead, I learned how toachieve the goal, and in the process became a very busy personal trainer. Then Iset out to write the book I always wanted to read.
That's enough about me. Let's talk about you.
Whether you're thick or thin, you want the wide shoulders and chiseledtorso that women don't just notice, they occasionally grab. You don't wish bodilyharm on anybody, but you'd be flattered to know that the woman who justpassed you on the freeway risked soft-tissue damage when her head whippedaround to get a better look.
At a bare minimum, you want the most attractive women in your apartmentcomplex to see you as the go-to guy the next time they need some furnituremoved.
Now that we've cleared the air about why you want the body you want, let'stalk about something a bit more complex: Why don't you have that kind of body already? I'm going to assume you're familiar with the concept of working out. IfI were a betting man, I'd wager that most of you reading this work out regularly.But if you're like most of the guys I see in gyms these days, you're doing workoutsthat can't possibly help you reach your goals.
Worse, I see some of the finest young men of my generation exercising in away that will take them further away from their goals. Some of the more sharp-tonguedmembers of my profession refer to commercial gyms as "fatness centers."Health clubs encourage you to come in and mope your way throughuseless circuits on machines that only exist as marketing tools to make strengthtraining look "easy" to the newbies. They discourage you from working hard bymaking it relatively inconvenient to do the exercises that build the most musclemass. One gym chain on the East Coast even has a rule against grunting. I'm asopposed to gratuitous noise as anybody, but how do you push yourself to getstronger if you have to worry about getting kicked out of the damned gym justbecause an exertion-related sound involuntarily escaped from your throat?
There are lots of ways to work out that don't involve the risk of breathinghard. That's why the health-club chains want you to do high-repetition, low weightcircuits on their shiny exercise machines. You won't build the body youwant with those workouts, but the owners of the health clubs don't care. They'rehappy to see you waste your time, as long as your account is paid in full.Frankly, though, I couldn't care less about people who want results withouthard work. I'm more concerned with the guys who work hard but don't ever getthe results they've earned. I see a lot of these lifters falling into three distinctcategories:
These are the guys who "blast their biceps" with thirty-two different exercises,following the workouts of the pro bodybuilders they read about in themagazines. They never ask if their biceps need to be blasted at all, much less withthirty-two exercises. Result? Their muscles get more blood-engorged than a tick with a rather serious glandular problem, but once the blood drains back out oftheir biceps the result is . . . deflating.
Remember the workout program you did in high school, back when you puton twenty pounds of solid muscle your senior year, when you made third-teamall-conference? Your muscles sure as hell remember. That's why you haven't gottenany stronger since high school. It was probably a great workout (althoughI've seen some pretty crappy programs designed by high school coaches). Still,no matter how well designed the program was, a body will make only so manyadaptations to any one system of training. Without variety, there's no challenge.Without challenge, there's no progress.
It's great to be open-minded about new ideas in training. But it can go toofar. The smartest, most successful trainers I know make endless fun of the peoplebalancing on Bosu balls while attempting to lift weights that are too light to putmuscle on the glandular tick I mentioned a moment ago. (A Bosu ball is half ofa rubber ball on top of a plastic platform. Consider yourself lucky if you've neverencountered one.) Unless you're training to be an acrobat, it's far better to workout with one or both feet on the floor, since that's the way you use your musclesin real life.
Most guys I see end up doing workouts that are hybrid versions of all thepitfalls I just described. It's not that they don't have enough information. Betweenbooks, magazines, and the Internet, there's more information than ever.And if it was as good as it claims to be, we'd all be ripped to shreds and warmingup on the bench press with five hundred pounds.
The information itself is often the problem, especially when it comes fromthe wrong sources: muscle magazines, misinformed personal trainers, Hollywood"trainers to the stars" . . . sometimes the stars themselves pretend to be fitnessexperts. The truth is that most "fitness experts" have no idea how to getactual results for actual humans.
That's why a typical guy's workout looks something like this:
STEP ONE: Walk into gym.
STEP TWO: Bench-press, incline bench-press, dumbbell bench-press,dumbbell incline bench-press, hop on a treadmill.
STEP THREE: Try to impress the girl on the machine next to you byflexing your pecs while you run.
STEP FOUR: Go home alone and cry.
STEP FIVE: Return to the gym the next day, only instead of twenty-foursets of chest exercises, you do twenty each for your biceps andtriceps. And instead of flexing your pecs while you run on thetreadmill, you flex your arms, making you look like you'reauditioning for a remake of Robocop.
That's why I wrote Built for Show. If you have the motivation and desire, youdeserve a program that shows you how to reach your goals, step-by-step. You deservea system that makes efficient use of your time and energy.
I hope you get a little more knowledgeable about training when you readBuilt for Show. (I know I got a lot smarter writing it. You never know what youdon't know until you try to verify the things you think you know.) And I'm sureyou'll get a lot of benefits that don't matter much to you now. You'll build strongerbones, lowering your risk of osteoporosis. You'll ramp up your metabolism,making it easier to keep body fat from returning, or from accumulating in thefirst place. If you have some nagging little injuries, you'll probably find they becomea lot less bothersome.
All of those are perfectly nice side effects, like going on The Price Is Right and winning a coffeemaker as a consolation prize when you were hoping for theconvertible Mustang. My guess is that you wouldn't be very consoled. But if youwon the grand prize, you wouldn't complain about finding the coffeemaker inthe backseat.
Are you ready to go after that grand prize?
I'll get into this in much greater detail in Chapter 7, but right now you'reprobably curious about what you'll be doing to get built for show. My yearlongworkout system is divided into four seasonal programs:
Fall: I hope most readers will start here, especially those who haven't yet spenta lot of time in the weight room. These workouts introduce you to the most importantexercises, like squats and deadlifts, and focus on building a base ofstrength and muscle mass while providing enough of a training stimulus to workoff a little fat in the process.
Winter: Here you'll focus on building pure strength, which also packs muscleon the places where women will notice it.
Spring: The goal here is to continue building your strength and muscle sizewhile also making your workouts more challenging. So you'll improve youroverall conditioning and athleticism while burning off some fat and getting yourbody ready for display.
Summer: Now you'll seriously attack whatever remaining fat you have withmore technically complex exercises and tougher workouts. You'll also get to dosome curls and extensions to put the finishing touches on your physique.The system is modular, so you can start with any program that suits yourneeds and is compatible with your current abilities. I encourage most of you tostart at the beginning and continue for a year. It doesn't matter if you end upwith your "summer" body in October or April; once you're built for show you'llreap the benefits any day of the year.

Training - The Cake
As expected, this book lays down "the fundamentals" that the athletes follow, but most common gym-goers ignore. The program is not anything groundbreaking, but that's the point -- simple therefore effective. More important than the "what" is the "how" and "why" which Nate explains thoroughly without getting too scientific. It's enough for you to explain to a buddy without a) looking like a dork and b) seem condescending. The most unique thing about the program for me was breaking it into Fall/Winter/Summer/Spring and programming accordingly. So your Fall/Winter are more hypertrophy/strength based -- while your spring/summer are more fat-loss based. Makes complete sense! Another unique find was the "garage variation" of each exercise in case you don't have access to a gym. Small but very practical detail that will help many.
Nutrition - Icing
Again Nate appeals to the target audience of single-guys well. The tips and info are all from the perspective of someone who may be budget-crunched but still health conscious. I wouldn't purchase this book for the nutrition tips alone, but it supplements the rest of the book well and Nate even recommends the Precision Nutrition system later in the book. Definitely worth reading the nutrition section for its unique perspective.
"Lifestyle" Tips - More GQ than Maxim.
Gotta admit, this was the biggest surprise to me of the entire book.Read more ›
The book is formatted in a helpful and easy to read manner and the interjected humor makes it a good read for any audience, even female. Nate gives priceless advice all the way from nutrition and exercise to confidence building, and gives an especially unique perspective on the role of women.
I was a bit disheartened to see the only other woman's perspective on Built for Show provided a complete misrepresentation of the author's message. In no way does the author suggest that women are objects or that they should be used for sex. Throughout the entire book he makes an argument that women are ultimately the ones who decide whether or not a man will be successful at pursuing a relationship of any type. This is a rather empowering argument that contradicts any suggestion of women being sex objects and is quite the opposite of the orthodox portrayal of men being the initiators of sex and women simply being conveniences to satisfy them.
I hope that more women and men will invest their time and money into reading this book as it provides great fitness advice and an uncommonly seen inside to the benefits of being healthy that applies to audiences from every demographic. I'm excited for my boyfriend to read this book and I have a feeling we'll both be able to enjoy the benefits.
However whatever concerns that I had initially have vanished, as my arms looks as muscular as before but bigger which hasn't happened for a while. The workout programs that Nate provides almost ensures that your body won't adapt. You'll be going back and forth from an upper / lower body split to whole body training. And if that weren't enough his set and rep variables (undulated periodization, super sets, giant sets, back-off sets, and everything in between) will shock your muscles to new growth during every phase of the program.
If there was one aspect of the book that I wish Nate would have provided more insight on was nutrition. He pretty much breaks down what foods to avoid and what types of foods to eat but had this book had a meal plan and recipes to follow I would have rated it five stars.Read more ›
