Live Webchat with Jack Monroe: Wednesday 5 March, 12.30 - 1.30PM
(170 Posts)We're very pleased to announce that pioneering food blogger Jack Monroe will be coming into MNHQ for a webchat on Wednesday 5 March from 12.30-1.30PM.
Facing head-on the realities of modern Britain as a single mum and responding with a 'make do and mend' way of thinking, Jack has earned a reputation as a fierce anti-austerity activist. She is best known for her blog A Girl Called Jack and is a freelance writer for The Guardian, The Independent and The Daily Mirror encouraging people to explore, enjoy and experiment with food, all on a (tiny) budget. Her first book, A Girl Called Jack, has just been published by Michael Joseph.
You can post a question for Jack in advance below, or join us in welcoming her on Wednesday between 12.30 and 1.30PM.
I'm a big fan of the blog! I'm a lone parent to a small boy too so lots of the recipes work really well for us. DS loves the kidney bean, carrot and cumin burgers and my favourite is the pasta with mushy peas (cos I'm classy like that! )
Anyway, when I found myself on a reduced income, after splitting from my ex, I found I had to make cut backs to my food budget and be a bit more creative with recipes. I'm an OK cook but I consider myself extremely lucky that I was taught to cook as a child, by my mum and also my Gran, who was a retired Home Economics teacher and an amazing cook. I think that having these basic cooking skills are invaluable when triyng to feed a family on a budget.
So, how did you learn to cook? Are you self-taught, or did someone teach you?
Hi Jack, I wanted to thank you for articulating so eloquently the issues which can lead to anyone falling into poverty. I went from being in a good job to being divorced, having to give up work because I couldn't afford to stay in central London, pay for childcare and eat. In a month I was on income support and made to feel less than worthless. Things have improved for me, but reading your blog helped me through a difficult time because someone else understood. Here's my question: I've struggled to explain why benefit bashing is wrong to friends, to family, who all seem convinced that it must be the person on benefits' fault that they're in that situation - how do you change attitudes when the media seems hellbent on portraying the feckless poor stereotype (e.g bebefits street)?
Hi Jack - what is your absolutely favourite go-to-when-you-have-just-had-the-day-from-hell comfort food?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I re read your hunger hurts piece when I received your wonderful book this week, and it made me cry (again!). Then I read your follow up in the back of the book.
My question is have you bought a new watch to replace the one you sold during those dark days? Or perhaps you were given a replacement? I hope so.
Brilliant book! I love it :-)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I received your book this week and wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to shop cheaper and cook better. I have made the carrot & cumin burgers, lentil bolognese (so so good!) and white choc and tea bread and all were well received. Have the beer and sultana bread proving as I type! Surprisingly, my meat loving DH has really liked the veggie recipes so I am really pleased and feel it's a great way to make him healthier. My questions are:
Can you use tinned lentils instead of dried in, for example, the daal? Or does it change the recipe?
Also, is there a book two in the pipeline? I would def buy it!
As an aside, I've noticed that there's no salt (or pepper) in your recipes. Is this on purpose for health reasons?
Dear Jack
Thank you for your really fabulous blog and advocacy. I believe you have changed the terms of the debate.
My question is not really one for answering, and more a plea: will you please make sure to take care of your and your son's financial security with the extra income you're generating? It's amazing that you are willing to give so much away to good causes, but please please do create a buffer for yourself as well.
Hi Jack
I was wondering if you thought there should be more emphasis on healthy eating and cooking in schools ?
I would also like to know the answer to TheJoyfulPuddlejumper's second question. I saw Edwina Currie on Panorama last night
I'm from your neck of the woods. You are awesome!
Hi Jack,
We've had shit times too, so thanks for speaking up for 'us'.
I would like to know how you handle it when your son doesn't want to eat his dinner?
The hardest thing I found about having a tiny food budget was that my daughter (then 2) would regularly refuse to try New things - I ended up buying her basics frozen sausages etc a lot because I knew she wouldn't be hungry then.
Hi Jack!
My question is:
Now that you have money coming in again, do you feel pressured not to spend it frivolously or on things you don't necessarily "need" due to having so many people on low incomes looking up to you?
Hi jack, just wanted to say you have given so much hope to families on a low income and who struggle to make ends meet, and it almost seems like in today's society being poor is the worse thing you can be. Your recipes are amazing and when I was struggling they were a big help, and even though things have improved I still like making your recipes. Wishing you and your son all the best. (And I too want to know the answer to the Currie question...)
Hi Jack - I've intermittently read your blog and know how you ended up from a high flier to low income...do you think embracing education and being widely read allowed you to resource cheaper food stuffs and combine that with nutrition?
I only ask because low income is usually synonymous with lower educational standards and it needn't be so
I don't have a question, I just want to thank Jack for all she has done to counter the vile messages this government is spinning out, and to say that I hope she and her son are feeling warmer and happier these days x
No question but wanted to say I loved you on Woman's Hour!
Hi Jack,
@SarahRobinson78 here, so glad you're doing a MN webchat
Won't be online tomorrow as am working but just wanted to say that small boy is going to be very proud of everything his mummy has achieved, keep going you're doing brilliantly you awesome lady
Also, was there any response from the hideous Edwina to your blog?!
Hi Jack, I have your book, preorderd it on Amazon and have tried two recipes so far, loved both.
Anyway, what I'd like to ask is what is your splurge meal now your finances have picked up?
Hi Jack.
My family enjoyed your bolognon so much that we've bought the book and I'm trying to decide where to start... What's your favourite recipe out of the ones in the book, and how did you decide which ones to include?
Thank you!
No question, just well done.
You said in your book you still try to keep food spend low , what is your luxury food now and what was it then?
Jack - I just bought your book, and next week (when my DCs are feeling better) I plan on trying out a few of the recipes for them. (DS1 has disabilities and food issues, so new foods when he is ill are never well received)
I really love that you are not afraid to speak up regarding food banks and poverty. I think so many in the government are dreadfully out of touch with these issues.
I'm not sure if you've seen this movie, but sometimes this whole poverty/food bank situation reminds me of "A Bug's Life" with the government being the grasshoppers taking things away from the poor ants, telling us this is the way it has to be. We ants need to realise that we need to band together and make the government grasshoppers listen, IMO.
What specific positive changes would you like to see from the government over the next couple years?
Hello Jack, welcome to the Vipers' Nest. I don't have a question, I just wanted to say I loved your dignified responses to Richard Littlecock and Edwina Currie. My own daughter would have ripped them both a new one as she doesn't tolerate idiots and corporate shills.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Jack.
First I want to say keep up the good work in speaking up for the least well off in society. Another feckless single mother here .
What does your son enjoy cooking? Have you catered for one of his birthday parties yet, and if so what did you serve up?

Correction Appended
A mystery telephone bidder known only to the audience as L036 went on a wild shopping spree at Sotheby's sale of Impressionist and modern art last night, spending nearly $25 million for three Monets, a Rodin, a Sisley and a Signac. That was all it took to push prices for some offerings way above what many experts said they were worth.
That's not to say the evening was a total success. There were eerily quiet stretches where the crowded salesroom went dead. Then there were moments of tension, when several buyers were determined to bring something home, no matter what the cost.
The evening's sale totaled $55.5 million, below Sotheby's presale estimate of $74 million to $102 million. Of the 48 lots on offer, 18 works failed to sell.
These figures were a letdown after the high of Monday evening when Sotheby's York Avenue salesroom was hopping with bids for the 50 artworks from the estate of Betsey Cushing Roosevelt Whitney, the philanthropist and socialite who died last year. The evening's sales totaled $128.3 million.
Continue reading the main storyBut unlike the works at the Whitney sale, what was on offer last night had little in the way of distinguished provenances, and many were familiar to auctiongoers since they had been in sales not that long ago. The evening's two most expensive paintings were being sold by the Nahmad family, Lebanese dealers who run galleries in New York and London and who have been among Sotheby's and Christie's biggest buyers for years now.
The Nahmads owned the evening's top seller, Monet's ''Haystack'' (1891), a single haystack that was included in an exhibition of 15 haystack paintings at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris the year it was painted. When it failed to sell at Christie's in London it was bought by the Nahmad family. The painting, in which the haystack is cropped at the right-hand side, was estimated at $8 million to $12 million. A protracted bidding war between one bidder on the telephone with Guy Jennings, a paintings expert who works for Sotheby's office in Geneva, and another speaking with Mallory Hathaway, who works in Sotheby's client services department, took several tense minutes. Ms. Hathaway's bidder won when bidding stopped at over $11.9 million, just shy of its $12 million high estimate. The buyer was L036. (Ms. Hathaway spent many years working for Sotheby's in Brazil, and seconds after the hammer fell on ''Haystack'' a rumor started circulating that the buyer must have been a newly rich Brazilian.)
The Nahmads, however, were not as successful with Toulouse-Lautrec's ''Red-Haired Woman Seated in Mr. Forest's Garden'' (1889), a portrait of a young woman that was estimated at between $6 million and $8 million. It failed to sell, becoming one of the evening's biggest casualties. No one was willing to pay more than $4.6 million.
This is a big week for Monets: between Sotheby's and Christie's, 13 are up for sale. Last night Sotheby's had six on offer.
(At the Whitney sale on Monday night Monet's ''Autumn on the Seine, Argenteuil'' (1873), a minor example of the artist's riverscapes, sold for $2.8 million, nicely above its $1.6 million high estimate.)
L036 was also the buyer of Monet's ''Waterloo Bridge in the Fog'' (1889-1903), which had been estimated to fetch $4 million to $6 million. Diana D. Brooks, Sotheby's chief executive, was bidding against Ms. Hathaway for a client on the telephone. Again the winner was L036, who paid almost $9.4 million.
L036 also bought Monet's ''Custom House, in the Morning'' (1882), a landscape of a cottage by the sea that had sold at Christie's in 1987 for $650,000 and was estimated at $1 million to $1.5 million. Five bidders wanted the painting, which eventually brought $1.87 million.
Not every Monet sold; the artist's ''Rouen Cathedral: The Courtyard of Albane'' (1892), one of the first of a series Monet painted, was expected to bring $1 million to $1.5 million. Bidding stopped at $850,000. Not a bid came from the room.
(Final prices include the auction house's commission, 15 percent of the first $50,000 plus 10 percent of the rest. Estimates do not reflect commissions.)
Buyers knew that many of the Impressionist offerings had been on the market in recent years. Pissarro's ''Saint-Sever Pier at Rouen'' (1896), one of the artist's early seascapes, was estimated last night at $1.5 million to $2 million but failed to sell. Bidding stopped at $1.4 million. When it was last on the market, at Christie's in 1989, it fetched $2.1 million. Another failed painting with a past, Degas's ''Woman at Her Dressing Table'' (1895-1900), had brought $3.1 million at Christie's in November 1988. Last night there were no takers. Bidding stopped at $2.2 million, under its low $3 million estimate.
Besides works that failed to sell, two still lifes were withdrawn, one by Cezanne and one by Picasso; no reason was given. And just hours before the sale, Bonnard's ''Interior'' (1913), a painting depicting an interior of a bedroom, was withdrawn at the request of members of the Rosenberg family, who believe the work may have been stolen by the Nazis. Paul Rosenberg, a leading Parisian art dealer in 1940, had other works plundered by German occupation forces, and last month the French Government returned a 1904 Monet ''Waterlilies'' to his heirs.
''Sotheby's is cooperating with both parties and hopes for a speedy resolution,'' Matthew Weigman, a Sotheby's spokesman, said.
Two other Bonnards did sell last night. ''The Woman in the Tub (Woman Crouching in a Tub)'' (1912) sold to an unidentified telephone bidder for $1.8 million, just at its low estimate. A later painting, ''The Daily Accounting''(1924), was bought by Abigail Asher, a private dealer, for its high estimate of $1.5 million.
''It was a fair price,'' said Ms. Asher. ''People were prepared to stretch for good things.''
Ms. Brooks agreed. ''There's an enormous amount of interest out there, but the market is very discriminating,'' she said. ''If estimates are too aggressive, people know it. But if it's something someone loves, they'll go for it.''
Correction: May 13, 1999, Thursday An article yesterday about an auction of Impressionist and modern art at Sotheby's on Tuesday misstated the sale price of Monet's ''Waterloo Bridge in the Fog'' (1889-1903) in some copies. It was $9.4 million, not $6.1 million. A related picture caption misstated the total spent by an unidentified buyer who dominated the sale. It was $24.7 million, not $24.5 million.

It's official. London's footballers love basketball.
The proof? Almost every other celebrity at the O2 arena on Thursday seemed to ply their trade in the Premier League.
Table-toppers Arsenal, sent the biggest contingent including Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Jack Wilshere, while Chelsea were well represented by David Luiz and Demba Ba.
London can look forward to seeing plenty more of the NBA after the sold-out south London venue watched the Brooklyn Nets cruise to a 127-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
Joe Johnson scored 29 points and Andray Blatche brought 20 off the bench as five Nets players scored in double figures - veterans Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett kicking in 18 and 12 respectively, keeping Brooklyn in front virtually all the way.
This was the fourth regular-season game played in London in as many years, a project spearheaded by NBA commissioner David Stern who saw the Olympics as a chance to kick-start a sport which has struggled to gain a foothold in this country.
But with London's football stars leading the charge, the popularity of NBA basketball in the UK can only grow...

Quoting EK77W (Thread starter): Do the 752's that NW will use on the AMS-EWR route have PTV's in coach? |
Quoting Azjubilee (Reply 2): Haven't flown BA in Y over the pond, so I can't compare. I would guess BA might have the edge, though NWAs Atlantic Y class product is quite good. It depends on your priorities. Right now EWR-AMS is one daily 330. IN the spring it switches to TWO 752s daily to offer more options for flight times. |
Quoting SK601 (Reply 1): The seatpitch in y-class is very nice/generous on the B757 |
Quoting Azjubilee (Reply 5): Strictly based on transiting - I would fly NWA via AMS. Again, it all depends on your priorities. If you want a seamless, hassle free, ontime with your bags, good value for your money trip - go with NWA. IF your priorities are for PTVs, hot FAs in classy uniforms, widebody equipment and the airliners.net prestige of flying anyone but NWA... go with BA. |
Quoting EK77W (Reply 4): I will be flying the second week of April so it will be the 752's. The reason that I was asking is that I have the option of flying from EDI to NYC with either BA via LHR :| or KL/NW via AMS. Both are roughly the same price so it's just the matter of choosing. |
Quoting Rlwynn (Reply 9): Do they at least have free alcohol? |
Quoting Jano (Reply 11): They do, plenty of it. Sometimes they even give out two small bottles of bourbon or whiskey. It's a very nice ride. |
Quoting JetBlueGuy2006 (Reply 13): Now, does NW serve 20 year olds on flights that originate at AMS? |
Quoting Albird87 (Reply 10): Why not just fly CO straight into EWR or DL into JFK from EDI? Both tho dont have PTVs in Y (unless its a new DL 757 with PTVs). |
Quoting Albird87 (Reply 10): BA flights from LHR to JFK on 744s in Y all have AVOD PTVs |
Quoting Albird87 (Reply 10): Should point out that one of the LHR-JFK flights by BA is done by the 777 which has PTVs but no AVOD |
Quoting Lobster (Reply 14): Quoting JetBlueGuy2006 (Reply 13): Now, does NW serve 20 year olds on flights that originate at AMS? No. Legally they can't. |

Symphonic Prog • United States
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
The American progressive rock band Everfriend were the project of keyboardist Bill Rhodes (real last name Rupprecht), who was active in the 1970s-80s. The music generated was an eclectic mixture of styles, from space rock to classically influenced keyboard works. The Mellotron dominated the sound as well as a blend of symphonic prog with synth-fronted jazz-fusion. The band consisted of three artists: Bill Rhodes on keyboards, Mike Jacoby on drums, and Paul Kozub on bass. They produced some underground very obscure albums including "Tropicsphere" in 1980, "Sphere of Influence" in 1981, and "Snake With a Hat". Bill Rhodes and Mike Jacoby used to play together in the All Night Flyers band and worked on the Everfriend project which was their focus while they lived in the Metuchen New Jersey area. They picked up bassist Paul Kozub for the albums who also played in the All Night Flyers. The band underwent personnel changes over its short career spanning 1978-1981, and the album "Sphere of Influence" is hailed as a prog classic, albeit one of the most obscure acts in the United States.

Review by
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator
A quite uneven album, ''Tropicsphere'' opens with a few cuts, where keyboard-driven Prog/Fusion meets commercial Horn Rock.Rhodes' work on electric piano and synthesizers comes in evidence with some really furious solos, the tracks have some complex themes and sudden changes, the sporadic female vocals are cool, but the slight air of mainstream vibes is evident throughout them.There is a notable STARDRIVE influence in most of these pieces.Side A suprisingly closes with a very symphonic-oriented piece, similar to HAPPY THE MAN, French HECENIA or even E.L.P. with a very technical keyboard delivery and fantastic bombastic breaks, despite the mediocre production.The flipside of the LP is certainly more consistent and propably a bit better than the opening one with a pronounced Classical flavor mixed nicely with jazzier interludes.While it opens in a typical Prog/Fusion realm, the rest of it shows Rhodes heavily armoured with organs, harpsichord and piano, producing very good Symphonic/Fusion along the lines of HAPPY THE MAN and E.L.P., full of intricate keyboard fanfares, double synth/organ attacks and complicated textures.One track is even led by his delicate harsichord work in a full-blown Classical mood and the amateur-sounding but rather limited horns is the only negative point of his whole effort.
Among the decent Progressive Rock oddities, ''Tropicsphere'' deserves some attention by all fans of keyboard-driven Progressive Rock because of Rhodes' tanted playing and his nice bunch of composing ideas.Recommended, although very rare.

'Ambience Won' has a lot of electronic tinkles, piano echoes, and tons of synth ambience from Bill Rhodes. It is a pleasant relaxing piece but forgettable as there is no catchy melody.
'Everfriend Overture For Piano And Electronic Orchestra' is the electrical answer to Beethoven. I remember all the albums churned out in the 80s of instrumental Moog with albums such as Switched on Classics, Moog Synth Greats or Synthesiser Themes; this sounds like one of those album tracks.
'Given The Time' has a nice piano motif and spaciness, with electric piano and sustained key pads. The bassline is excellent from Paul Kozub and Mike Jacoby's drums provide a strong beat. It switches time sig and launches into a jazz fusion rhythm. The drum solo leads to a similar melody to the previous tracks. This is perhaps one of the more accomplished tracks on the album.
'Music Means The World To Me' is a song that has some pleasant melancholy sounds. The rare vocals are rather subdued but I think this is one of the better tracks due to the classical nuances. I kind of like the sentiment in the lyrics as I agree with it. The vocals on the one song are okay but Lake did better, and they are often layered or processed to make them sound better. This is a good move as they are nothing to write home about.
'On The Fringe' has that ELP synth sound similar to 'Brain Salad Surgery' era. It is a decent melody but again offers nothing new to the table. The drumming is better and I kind of like the dramatic melodic vibe that it exudes. This is perhaps one of the best tracks overall with nice spacey atmospheres.
'Sonorplasm ' Birth' is a piano and synth instrumental with some spacey textures, not too bad in the scheme of things.
'Terra Firmus' is a rather naff track with lots of cheesy 'ba ba baba ba's' and a lot of 'oh oh oh oh oooohhhhh's' as we hear classical piano and synth maintain a weird melody. A real stinker. 'Theme of Peace' has fast ivory tinkling very well played by Rhodes. It is basically a solo on piano executed with dramatic staccato notes, and the synth lines augment the soundscape.
Overall this album has a few decent tracks but really is obscure due to the fact that the band does not offer anything new, the music does not progress, rather stays on the one classical note, and it is an example of a failed 80s recording. The album is a one off, the band are an obscurity, and they were never heard of again. No wonder it faded from the music scene as really the content is rather mediocre. 2 stars for the 2 or 3 good tracks.

Special Collaborator Retired Admin
To get a feeling of what Everfriend, an obscure a little-known American prog band, sounds like, take Emerson Lake and Palmer's sound and do absolutely nothing to it, because Everfriend is, essentially, an ELP clone. While the album contains sprinklings of more jazz than Keith Emerson allowed in his own compositions and more 80s synths and other more "modern" twists, Everfriend bathes in the keyboard-led, baroque inspired, progressive rock tradition championed by Emerson Lake and Palmer. However, unlike ELP, Everfriend fails at capturing the organic and "original" sound that ELP was able to capture in their first few albums. While the fact that Everfriend's songs have more cheddar in them than a 2nd grader's view of the moon is discerning, it's the complete and utter lack of creativity that was put into the album that really gets me. While in this paragraph alone I think I've said it enough, this entire album sounds like it is straight from an ELP practice session - it's just that these are the songs that ELP wouldn't have even put on their albums. The pseudo-jazz piano/organ/synth passages led by Palmer-esque drum beats after Palmer-esque drum beats is suffocating to say the least, and the eight relatively short pieces have little to no flow or natural rhythm other than a pithy mixture of symphonic nonsense and forced progressive rock themes. The album is mostly instrumental, and this is a plus, as the sparse vocals aren't the best you can get - that is, the singer isn't good at all.
Overall, Everfriend's Sphere of Influence wasn't good. While the playing and production of the album was fine and the three guys had all the right intentions, the execution of their dried out uncreative songs was not the best the progressive world has to offer. It's no surprise this band dropped off the face of the earth after the release of this album, as there's really no music that could have possibly met wide appeal that would have prompted the band to go further with their efforts. Overall, the album may have one or two redeeming qualities, but this album is only for die-hard ELP fans desperate for more of the same or symphonic prog completionists who need every album they can find. 2- stars.

This gripping biography of the great Czech novelist, diarist and short story writer chronicles Kafka's entire (if tragically curtailed) life (1883-1924), but it focuses upon the writer's relationship to his father and his inheritance as a member of the Jewish mercantile bourgeoisie in Prague. Born into a German-speaking Jewish family, Kafka was a subject of the Austro-Hungarian empire until 1919 yet through his work he is one of the most modern of writers. While previous works have concentrated on Kafka and his women, Nicholas Murray will concentrate on his extraordinary relationship with his father which found its most eloquent literary expression in the story 'The Judgement' written in 1912 when Kafka was twenty-nine:in a reverse Oedipal move, the father condemns his son to death by drowning.

- For information about an upcoming Pikmin game titled Pikmin 4, see Pikmin 4.
Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS (working title) is an upcoming Pikmin spinoff game for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was announced on the September 1st, 2016 Nintendo Direct[1], where some gameplay information and footage was shown. It is scheduled to be released in 2017.
Unlike the previous Pikmin games, which were 3D real-time strategy games, this one is a 2.5D sidescroller. Players control Captain Olimar left or right on the ground, since it doesn't look like he can jump, and also vertically when climbing a vine or underwater. Players can whistle Pikmin from anywhere on the screen, which brings them to Olimar's side, and once there, can be thrown by him to wherever the player taps. With the help of the Pikmin, the player must defeat enemies and collect treasures on their way to the goal.
Gameplay happens on the bottom screen, although both screens show the action. Captain Olimar lands on the stage after being beamed down by a blue ship that highly resembles the Research Pod. Pikmin that are thrown at branches from below go up through them and land on top of them. Pikmin that land close to a task like a pile of bridge fragments will automatically walk towards it and begin working on it. Enemy health is represented with a horizontal bar, unlike the pie chart of previous games. Blue Pikmin thrown while underwater are tossed in a straight line instead of an arc.
There are some golden nut-like objects that seem to be important, since they're shown several times throughout the gameplay footage.
It can be noted that in no time during the footage are Pikmin shown with different maturity at the same time. They are either all leaf, all bud, or all flower Pikmin.
Nothing about the game's plot is currently known, other than the fact that the player controls Captain Olimar, who travels in a blue, Hocotatian-looking ship. As such, it is not known whether or not this game is canon.
- Red Pikmin – resistant to fire. If thrown onto a pit of fire, they stomp out the flames.
- Yellow Pikmin – resistant to electricity, are able to activate electric currents, and are thrown higher.
- Blue Pikmin – can survive and swim underwater.
- A place similar to Awakening Wood
- A place similar to Wistful Wild
- A cave
- An underwater area
The only known treasures shown so far are a bronze-like trophy, a flat, dark blue, rectangular item, and a battery.
Red Bulborb[edit]
During the game reveal's Nintendo Direct, the Red Bulborb is shown to return via cutscene akin to boss battles in Pikmin 3, suggesting an important role. In accordance with the game's overall art style, the Red Bulborb appears much less detailed and more cartoony than in the main games. Its legs are more curved, its size is considerably larger and most notably, its face is much flatter with the eye stalks being placed much closer to the tip of the snout. During its respective battle, the Red Bulborb will slowly walk towards the player, constantly biting with its head lowered and jump out of the grass in the background. At certain points during the battle, the Red Bulborb will glance down. This is the player's opportunity to throw Pikmin at its eyes to make it reel back in pain and pass through its legs.
Puckering Blinnow[edit]
Puckering Blinnows return with few noticeable changes to their appearance. They are found as a small school in an underwater level and do not leave any spoils or bodies behind upon death.
Unnamed yellow bird-like creature[edit]
An unknown yellow bird-like creature can be seen advancing towards Olimar during the Nintendo Direct. The creature exhibits the general body shape of a grub dog, with a large pink finch-like beak and big eyes on the side of its head. Similar to the kiwi bird, this creature has no visible wings and seems to be exclusively terrestrial. After being thrown at with Red Pikmin, the creature flinches while its walking speed slows down until it finally dies.
Unnamed lamprey-like creature[edit]
An unknown lamprey-like creature can be seen in the Nintendo Direct trailer during an underwater section. Its body is mostly purple with a yellow underside and a pattern of blue ovals along its side together with red and yellow cuttlefish-like fins. It has two eyes on thin, pink stalks and a large, pink round mouth filled with teeth. It quickly spirals upwards from the bottom of the screen and blocks the player's path. Pikmin that touch the mouth are eaten and killed.
Unnamed small green flying creature[edit]
A group of unknown small creatures can be seen flying in a consistent line during the Nintendo Direct trailer. They are vaguely scarpanid-like with a small, flat lime head and red compound eyes on a plump, green body. The creatures fly around using wings that heavily resemble five-petaled flowers with blueish tips similar to Onions. These enemies are seen carrying unknown golden acorn-like objects, as well as Red Pikmin, within their two convex forelegs and two concave hind legs. If Pikmin are thrown at them, they instantly die and drop whatever they're carrying.
Unnamed large green flying creature[edit]
A large, green, vaguely dragonfly-like creature can be seen slowly moving across the top of the screen during the Nintendo Direct trailer. It's currently unknown if the creature is flying on its own or if it is getting dragged by something. The creature exhibits some scarpanid-like traits, sporting a plump, green, multiple segmented torso and a small, lime green head with large red and yellow eyes. In addition to these features, the creature seems to have small, horizontal insect-like wings and an elongated, brown segmented abdomen similar to dragonflies. The creature carries several unknown golden acorn-like objects under its abdomen and the player can throw Pikmin at them to break them into smaller parts that can be carried.
Interactive objects[edit]
These clovers are seen rustling, and when Olimar whistles in range of them, Pikmin are released from behind.
Bridge fragments[edit]
Bridge fragments return in this game, and can be carried by Pikmin in order for them to form a bridge.
Fire can be stomped out by Red Pikmin to allow safe passage.
Olimar and Blue Pikmin are able to freely swim in bodies of water in any direction.
Pressure blocks[edit]
These blocks can be weighed down by Pikmin in order to allow passage. The number of Pikmin required to push it down is shown as circles below the top of the block, which fill in for each Pikmin the player places on it.
Loose wire[edit]
Loose wire can be connected together with a line of Yellow Pikmin. This allows nearby flowers to bloom and the area to be lit up. It is unknown yet how this benefits the player.
Pushable rock object[edit]
This object can be pushed by Pikmin in order to use it as a platform or free a passage. It is unknown how many Pikmin are required to push it, but the more Pikmin the player has pushing it, the faster it is moved.
Vines can be climbed by Olimar to reach higher or possibly lower ground.
There is a door that Olimar can enter. It is assumed that this either brings Olimar to a new room, or brings him out another doorway in the same room.
Golden nut[edit]
An item which seems to be a golden nut like-object can be collected by Olimar. Pikmin can also pick up these nuts and bring them to Olimar. A total number of the nuts collected is shown at the top of the screen. The purpose of these items is unknown.
Golden flower[edit]
This large golden flower can be hit by Pikmin to release multiple golden nuts. Once hit it begins to wither away until it vanishes.
Larger golden nut[edit]
These larger golden nuts can be broken to release multiple smaller golden nuts, and red nuts.
Red nut[edit]
This nut is slightly larger than the golden nut, bears a shiny red color, and is collected in the same way as a golden nut.
The only known controls are related to the throwing mechanic – if the player has Pikmin in their group, they can throw them by tapping on the corresponding section of the screen.
The game was first revealed in a Nintendo Direct on September 1st, 2016, where it was given the working name Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS. The video showed some gameplay footage and information.

Pinup 2014 Design Competition Morpholio Project
Posted by Mario Cipresso
Flash Player required
Pinup 2014 invites students and young professionals to submit a collection of their studio, 3d printed or un-built work comprised of up to three digital images. By submitting your work, we invite you to share your voice with the collective intelligence of a community of visual thinkers. The competition is free to all entrants.
The proliferation of device culture, social networking, and cloud technology are changing the way we create, and connect on a daily basis. For design, this means that technology is not only transforming the process of production, but also the processes through which we share, critique, and organize ourselves around the work we do. The competition is first, and foremost an experiment in distributed intelligence. By leveraging the "wisdom of crowds" every entrant can see and understand how his or her work is experienced by others. It has been predicted that in 2020, there will be 50 billion mobile internet connections worldwide, the equivalent of seven devices per person. Thus, this competition is not simply about the existence of technology, but rather why and how we harness it as designers.
The Competition poses the following questions: What are the aspirations by which we evaluate design today? In an increasingly networked culture, what makes a project capable of cutting through the virtual noise, and starting a new conversation? How do evolving forms of media affect the way in which your message reaches its destination? What is your message?
The competition challenges you to confront the world with your work. By sending it out into the field you will test yourself and your projects. You are the designer, the curator and the critic.
Pinup 2014 was assembled by designers, professors and students as a means to publically promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening in academia and amongst today's emerging talent. The competition is supported by ArchDaily, Shapeways, the AIAS, IIDA, ADC, AIGA and is hosted by The Morpholio Project. The guest jury includes participants from FastCompany, ArchDaily, Design Milk, Interior Design Magazine, Core77 and Columbia GSAPP.

Examining How Cluster Grouping and Co-Teaching Raises the Bar for Teachers and Students Sarah Bongarten AIG Differentiation Coach Orange County Schools, NC email@example.com
Goals of this Session To have working definitions of cluster grouping and co- teaching. To have an understanding of how cluster grouping and co- teaching benefits AIG students and their teachers
Barriers to Differentiated Curriculum and Instruction for AIG Students in the Regular Classroom Very few AIG students Too many levels of ability/achievement Focus on supporting struggling students Lack of teacher expertise and resources for working with AIG students Equity and/or fairness issues
Cluster Grouping A group of AIG students are placed in a classroom, ideally with a teacher who has had training in gifted education Full time clustering Subject specific clustering Cluster grouping vs. tracking
Cluster Grouping Model Classroom 1Classroom 2Classroom 3Classroom 4 High Achieving (AIG) X High AverageXXX AverageXXXX Low AverageXX LowX Special Education X (twice exceptional) X
Benefits of Cluster Grouping Intellectual peer group Responsive teachers Flexible groups Reduction of stigmatization
Co-Teaching Co-teaching is… Two teachers working together to plan and deliver appropriate curriculum and instruction for all students in the room Co-teaching is not… One teacher teaching while the other enforces discipline, makes copies, completes paperwork, etc.
Team Teaching Two teachers deliver a lesson simultaneously, building off one another
Station Teaching Each teacher leads a station, and students rotate to appropriately challenging activities
Benefits of Co-Teaching Classroom Teacher Benefits Support with planning and differentiated instructional strategies Smaller student load and another professional in the room AIG Specialist Benefits Easier to enrich and extend curriculum and connect activities to what is being taught in the classroom Nurture students who are not AIG identified Student Benefits Cohesive, rigorous curriculum and instruction Responds to specific student needs Reduction of stigmatization
Benefits of Co-Teaching
It Takes Two: Cluster Grouping and Co- Teaching Effective cluster grouping paves the way for effective co-teaching. Reduces the number of classroom teachers with whom the AIG must coordinate Allows AIG specialists to work directly with students on a consistent basis

New code and paper for the community network analysis
I have released an update of the python code for the analysis of community networks topologies. The code is part of a collaboration with the SmartUC project, that I have described in a previous post and is available with a GPL license on my github page. The new version includes some refactoring of existent code, a new heuristic to compute group centrality and the measurement of group centrality considering only routes to the gateways of the network. This feature is particularly important to identify the nodes that an attacker should control to be able to intercept a given fraction of all the traffic going to the Internet. It has been used for my last publication to the CNBUB workshop (of which I am in the program committee), titled "An analysis of the Ninux wireless community network" that can be found at this link and it is now still in development for a new publication that will analyse the behaviour of three large community wireless networks, with particular attention to their privacy features.

Strips together with white sashing. I wasn't sure whether to use white or cream...I think I made the right choice.
The center is complete!! I just randomly choice which strip sets to cut and connect.
Aren't those colours beautiful! Now all I have to complete is the checked border, back, bind and quilt! I planned to hopefully complete the quilt top today but Old Man Winter is raging on us and my laundry drain is frozen...so while my husband deals with a flooded laundry room, I'm going to go lock myself in my sewing room.

When Level-5 released Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask in 2011, they announced that its successor, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy would be the final game to feature the puzzle-loving Archaeologist, but the series would continue. Finally, a new contender has thrown their top-hat into the ring with Lady Layton.
Announced during the Level-5 Vision 2016 event, Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone's Conspiracy stars the daughter of Hershel Layton, Katrielle "Kat"Layton and her, apparently, talking dog "Sharo" as they travel around London solving mysteries. Unlike her Professor father, Kat will be taking a more active roll in solving puzzles, working as an actual detective.
Supposedly, Lady Layton will focus less on dynamic problem-solving and more on solving multiple mystery cases, making the game more fast paced than its predecessors and adding a more comical tone to the series.
Following the tragic passing of the series' puzzle creator Akira Tago, Kuniaki Iwanami will be designing the game's puzzles, bringing new challenges and core-mechanics to the franchise.
Speculation is circulating like wild-fire on just who Lady Layton is. Whether or not this will tie into the Layton Brothers mobile spin-off -- having Kat be the sister of Alfendi Layton -- who Kat's mother will be, or even if Hershel will make an appearance within the are among a few of the questions fans want answered.
Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone's Conspiracy will be released for 3DS and mobile and is targeting a Western release in 2017.
Level-5 also announced a new spin-off entry in the Professor Layton franchise titled Layton 7 (which refers to the number of players, not its place in the series.) Players, who are randomly and discretely assigned a role from: Villager, Knight, Oracle, Traitor, or Vampire use an integrated instant messaging system to try to determine the identity of the Vampire amongst them.
Players can easily communicate through messages by choosing and combining preset statements and keywords. Characters each have their own unique abilities, such as the ability to see through the Traitor's deceit.

Chicago Window Expert
Nobody knows more about windows.
By Mark Meshulam1 Comment
Broken glass evidence can be critical in solving crimes and reconstructing accidents.
Here are the basics…Continued from Broken Glass Evidence in Crimes and Accidents Part 1
Understanding broken glass evidence #7
Injuries from glass for first respondersWhen annealed glass breaks under relatively moderate force, the largest shards that remain in the opening can be extremely dangerous to victims and first responders. Glass that remains in the frame overhead is especially hazardous because if it suddenly releases it can drop down on people below like for a razor sharp dagger. First responders should take care to avoid broken glass injuries by positioning below broken glass.
Understanding broken glass evidence #8
Injuries from glass for victimsAlthough tempered glass is designed to break into small cubes, these cubes can remain interlocked with one another long enough to cause serious broken glass injuries. In shower door injuries, for example, large clumps of heavy glass can call on a naked bather and cause far more than just superficial lacerations.
Large shards of annealed glass can be razor sharp. If a victim trips over a window frame with glass shards pointing up, cuts can be deep and very dangerous. In these situations, first responders will need to act quickly to stem the bleeding or death can quickly occur.
The way glass enters the human body can become evidence in many ways. The size, position, angle and shape of lacerations can be important evidence in determining the victim's body position prior to and during the accident. Therefore careful photographs of all glass injuries from different angles are critically important.
Understanding broken glass evidence #9
Photographing glass evidenceWhen glass is involved in a crime or an accident, law enforcement personnel should take great pains to avoid disturbing the broken glass evidence. Many high resolution photographs should be taken from both sides of the glass. Some photos should be establishing shots. These are wide angle shots that take in the entire surroundings.
Other shot should be of the entire piece of glass that remains in the opening from as central of a point as impossible to reduce parallax distortion.
Then close-ups should be taken sequentially around the sides of the broken glass evidence.
Then careful pictures of the glass shards on the floor or ground should be taken. After shooting pictures of this glass, lay a tape measure across the shards and shoot the same shots again. In one set, have the tip of the tape measure at the face of the glass and extend the tape straight away from the glass. This will show how far the shards traveled away from the frame, another indicator of force.
Then place the tape parallel with the frame on the floor and shoot again. This will convey the dispersal of the shards and could assist in determining if the force was applied to the glass on an angle rather than "straight-on".
Understanding broken glass evidence #10
Preserving glass evidenceIn any situation where responders deem evidence collection to be necessary, a few pieces of broken glass evidence should always be taken. Store the glass in labeled containers that are not too big for the specimen, so the glass won't knock around and break further. Do not store broken glass evidence with anything fibrous such as cloth or paper towels.
If blood is on the glass, it should definitely be collected as evidence after first air-drying the blood. If the crime or accident involved loss of life, serious injury or felony, consideration should be given to carefully collecting all of the broken glass evidence that remains in the frame with as little disruption as possible as well as the glass on the floor and other surfaces.To collect evidence glass that still remains in a window frame, stabilize the glass by applying 2″ wide clear packing tape to one side only of the pieces still in place. For large areas, 24″ wide clear carpet protection rolls can be used. Once taped, mark the tape with date and time. Place arrows indicating up and down, and write on the inside surface, "inside". After marking the broken glass evidence, take pictures of the glass while it is still in the frame with the labels clearly visible and in the context of the surroundings.
Once the glass is stabilized, call a glazing contractor to carefully remove the glass and make sure they tape the edges once the glass is removed. Cut a piece of plywood to the same size as the glass and tape the broken glass evidence to the plywood. The evidence is now secured and ready for storage.
Understanding broken glass evidence #11
Using glass evidence to place a suspect at the crime scene
Glass breakage can sometimes be so explosive that tiny shards can embed themselves in the clothing of people nearby. If a crime occurs and broken glass was involved, the perpetrator may have evidence glass in his or her clothing. After 24 hours, most of this evidence will be lost. So it is important to carefully check the clothing of suspects for glass embedded in their clothing. A good lab will match the glass from the suspect's clothing with glass taken from the scene based on color, composition, refractive index and density. Here's an example: Intruder breaks into house on Main Street. Glass evidence used in the arrest.Understanding broken glass evidence #12
Was the glass strong enough?
Some crimes and accidents involve someone crashing through a pane of window glass. Did the glass play its part in preventing this occurrence? Was the glass sufficiently strong for the window it was glazed into? Some glass is required to be safety glass, which is either stronger because it is tempered or laminated. If the glass was not safety glass and it should have been, the building owner may have liability.Even if safety glass is not required, the glass should be strong enough to resist wind loads. If it is too thin and weak, an injured party may have recourse against the building owner.
Handled properly and understood well, glass may be the conclusive evidence that closes the case!
ANSWER to the challenge posed in the caption of picture of multiple glass impacts: The top impact occurred first. Primary cracks from the impact extend to all glass edges. When the second impact occurred, there was already a vertical primary crack near it. As soon as the primary cracks from impact #2 reached that vertical crack, they stopped. Remember when I said that primary cracks tend to extend to the edge of the glass in order to release all of the impact energy? The cracks from the second impact did exactly that. They stopped at the new glass edge that was created by a primary crack from the first impact. Write a comment and let me know how you did.

dc.description.abstract | Footballers are unique compared to most other workers. Their output is not only a performance but it has traditionally been condensed into 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Unlike other entertainers no two performances are alike and they can vary wildly from week to week in terms of their quality. Through a critical audience and media, footballers are constantly subject to public analysis, and how they perform on the pitch can have serious commercial consequences. In pursuing a career in this largely insecure and highly pressurised yet potentially lucrative industry, the professional footballer has only one major resource, his body. However, this 'is a finite resource, subject to sudden breakdown and inevitable decline.' The popular, and in many ways, accurate, image of players preparing for games has been one of training by constantly lapping the pitch, eating steaks for their pre-match meal, having injuries treated by a trainer and his 'magic sponge' while their post-match warm-down has consisted of a fag followed by copious amounts of alcohol. With the hyper-commercialisation of today's game though professional footballers are regarded as valuable assets worth millions of pounds in transfer fees who equally earn millions in salaries. As a consequence, clubs have invested in cutting edge sports science and sports medicine innovations to maximise their performance. However, the need to maximise the performance of footballers has been a recurring theme within football since the legalisation of professionalism in 1885, albeit one that needs to been seen within its wider context. This paper looks at how early professional footballers, from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, maintained their health and fitness. In addition to examining players' training routines, it will argue that the imposition of disciplinary measures was part of the players' overall regimen. The paper will also look at players' diets and lifestyles, including smoking and drinking, as well as the methods used to prevent and treat injuries. It will show how practices were part of wider trends in the world of health and fitness and included techniques like hydrotherapy and massage. Training, moreover, was based on the experienced-based methods of trainers who had running rather than football backgrounds. In addition, it will explore the extent to which an 'athletic body' was evolving due to the growing exigencies of modern life. Whereas pre-modern professional sportsmen like boxers and especially pedestrians had developed their own methods, they weren't subjected to the more systematic and repetitive regimes of footballers. | en |

Hi All, I'm just looking at getting a webcam for use with my Powerbook and any advice would be much appreciated. Most of the ones I've seen don't mention Mac compatibility but would they 'just work...'? What are the rest of you guys using? Cheers AL
It depends on which software you will be using. If you are going to use iChatAV for video chat, I think the best bet is iSight. But again, it is a little expensive. I have heard that there are hacks to allow other USB webcams to be used on iChatAV, but have not seen one to confirm it. The Logitech Webcam for Notebook Pro (not the Deluxe) is compatible with the Mac, but it will probably not work with iChat.
Not entirely sure what software I'll use. I'm a complete novice with video messaging. Using a mix of MSN and skype for text and voice messaging at the mo, but obviously neither of those have mac compatible video messaging. Is ichat the best way to go? Again, any advice would be great. Software, hardware.... The iSight is the obvious option but (and I had a similar thing with a regular router vs an Airport base station) I don't really want to spend £100 on it when I would hope a lesser webcam could work for a fraction of the price. I won't be using it for work so it doesn't need to be pixel perfect.
Have you ever thought about a DV camcorder? I understand they work just like an iSight when you hook them up to your Mac by FireWire. On the other hand, if you have no use for a camcorder, an iSight is much cheaper.
I have - in fact I was looking at the new cheaper Sony one today! I had to bolt from the shop as my credit card suddenly got very hot and nearly forced it's way into my hand. I hate it when that happens.... To be honest, it's just not viable at the moment. Having only just bought my Powerbook last month, I'm still recovering financially! I really just want a cheap USB cam, but if it's not going to work then I don't think I'll go for iSight or anything more, at least for a couple of months.
USB cams are a nightmare with OS X. You have to download 3rd party open source drivers which are no longer supported. macam no longer works with Tiger and Ioexpert's costs money and tells you off after a short while. The quality is sheisse too. I'm going to invest in a camcorder soon, and use that as a webcam too. I'd love an isignt.. but if im going to buy a camcorder in the end anyway, i'll save myself a few bucks first.
The quality of the iSight is amazing, I have a 12" PB and DSL and there is never a flutter, stutter or any issue whatsoever. It's very much real time and the sound quality is also excellent. It is a lot of money and although I don't use it that much it is well worth the investment.
I have been using iChatAV, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and Skype on my iMac G5. As for voice chat, Skype is the best hands down. For text chat, I think it really is matter of what your friends use. Virtually all my PC friends use MSN Messenger, so I use that for text chat. For video, I think iChatAV is the best. For me, this is true for two Mac users using iChatAV, and also video chatting with PC users on AIM with webcams. I've only used Yahoo Messenger for text, but I have heard several audio issues when doing video chat between PC and Mac users. As for the camera, if you have a MiniDV camcorder, that works great on iChat. However, I think you will enjoy the qualities of iSight, and I really recommend it from my experience.
Yeah we were using a combo of skype and MSN to look at flats online with a friend the other day. We were both pasting in links to MSN, checking them out online, and talking to each other using Skype. Really was cool. What about using a video recording digital camera? Could I use/stream that at all?
I love my iSight, best cam I have ever purchased! I also have a Cannon miniDV. When I go on trips I video talk with my wife through iChat (her on the iSight at home and I on the Cannon at a remote location). The only issue that I have with using video cameras is that a lot of them, including mine, have auto shutoffs that can not be overridden so you either a. keep fiddling with the zoom so that it does not shut off or b. have to keep restarting your camera... typically b is what happens.
I think you are talking about photo digital cameras that have the video recording features. If so, I have tried to hook it up on my mac with iChatAV, but did not work. Technically, iChat requires a firewire video camera, and my Pentax Optio s5i camera is USB. I am not sure if there are any photo digital cameras that come with Firewire, as most are USB. That said, I am not sure if it will work on Mac versions of MSN/Yahoo/AIM or on PCs. I think several years ago, Logitech had an entry level digital camera that also could be used as a webcam, but only on PCs.
I recently purchased a Macally Icecam. It does feel a little bit cheap, and it's a pain that it requires manual focussing, but I'm still quite happy with its performance considering that it's a third of the price of an iSight. I'm currently using it with Yahoo Messenger, but apparently it will work with iChat if you download third party drivers at extra cost.
a third of the cost? on that link it is 82 bucks. did you get it cheaper? an isight is 149 on apples website.
I just bought a practically new iSight from ebay for £64. Works perfectly with my lovely new iBook using Mercury messenger to link up with my mates on MSN. There are plenty on ebay at the moment - people are selling them now they have the new iMac or macbook on the way. Worth a try as you might save yourself £30 and still get a great webcam.
I have a MiniDV camcorder (cannon something) and it works great with iChat. The quality is much better than the iSight, especially in low light situations, and being able to use the zoom is also very cool. My camera has this thing where it turns itself off after ~5 minutes of inactivity, and I guess iChat AV counts as inactivity because it was constantly shutting itself off. There was no option to turn this off, so I enabled "demo mode" where it basically shows advertisements for itself on the LCD (only on the LCD...not in the actual picture) and then it stayed on for however long I needed without turning off! Anyway, I bought an iSight anyway because it's smaller, easier to maneuver, easier to adjust to get what you want in the picture, etc. The camcorder gets a bit clunky with the firewire cord and power cord jutting out of the front of it.
Ergh, he's in New Zealand, read the location. An iSight is NZ$249, the icecam is NZ$82. That's pretty bloody close to 1/3 the cost.
I've been poking around this issue most of the day. So far, all I've found (besides iSight) is the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. I have no idea how well it would work..but it's $80 - $100 USD and it says it's Mac compatible. And for those Canon folks dealing with their camera shutting down: Take the tape out...it should stay on after that. It's a feature that protects your tape from being cut into pieces...I just figured that one out last week!
Great Mac Webcam I have one of these iMage webcams and it works great on my PowerBook: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/imagewebcam price is right too. -Jim
This thread is over a year old now.... I'm pretty confident that he's figured out a solution now. Good tip, but maybe you should have started a new thread?
Nobody mentioned that USB video class (UVC) works on Mac I am amazed at how uninformative and unhelpful this thread has been. Nobody even mentioned that USB video class (UVC) webcams are supposed to work on Macs INCLUDING iChat. In fact, the new built-in webcams in iMacs and mac laptops are USB devices. This means NO drivers necessary, not even iChatUSBCam. The webcam vendors also aren't very helpful in advertising which webcams are UVC compliant. Win XP sp2 also seems to support UVC out of the box. Further, Macam (http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php) provides quite a number of open source drivers. On the WinDOS platform there seems to be a need for all kinds of add-on software for webcams. This just makes the thing even more properietary. It is a shame that MacOSX, which already has most of the webcam integration on-board, isn't more third-party webcam friendly.
My girlfriend (such a smart arse) just pointed out to me that if I plug my digital camera in and select 'PC-Camera' MacOS recognises it as a webcam and skype notifies you that a cam is connected! And the best part.. the quality is awesome and so far I think even better than an iSight. I am using a Sanyo Xacti 6mp myself, only problem is that the USB port is in the most annoying location (directly underneath there the tripod mount hole is!) so I have to balance it on the left hand side of the top of my monitor but the best part is I had it working in literally seconds.
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem when they purchase the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. I have a powerbook with mac OS X 10.3.9 Does anyone know if i can get that camera to work with out much hassle? Thanks!
Try Macam driver Not sure about your specific camera, but using Macam (just google it) I successfully enabled my MacBook Pro (intel, with built in iSight) to work with my Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Deluxe. Additionally, I found a script online that enables me to disable the internal iSight simply so that applications default often to the external camera. Hope that helps

NewTek announces IP Series - join the revolution
The IP Revolution is here. No longer should your video productions be bound by the traditional limitations of cabling, hardware, talent availability or studio space. NewTek's new IP Series unlocks the potential of NDI for boundless creativity with software-driven live production.
It's not just about replacing the cable from camera to switcher, it's about disrupting the traditional workflows and creating content in ways that have never been possible or cost-effective. Now all of your sources and destinations can be interconnected with the same traditional Ethernet you have been using for years. Your crew and talent don't even need to be in the same location anymore.
But fear not, this is not a leap into the dark. NDI technology is proven with hundreds of third party vendors adding NDI support and thousands of traditional TriCaster users already deploying network-based workflows. In fact, IP has been an integral part of many NewTek based productions since the dawn of iVGA.
The IP Series of products takes this to a whole new level, but maintains the traditional HD-SDI capabilities so that you can adapt existing productions and equipment over time. The IP Series is also expandable and scalable, up to 44 inputs on a single Video Mix Engine either HD-SDI or NDI, more than five times the number previously possible.
The modular approach to the IP Series unlocks capabilities hitherto impossible or cost-prohibitive. Now you can aggregate your camera sources with the Input Module in a different location to your Video Mix Engine - perfect for stadiums, campuses or multiple-studio environments... Bring in sources from around the world via Skype TX... Send and record outputs anywhere on the network... Have your graphics operator in a different location... Use the same sources to create different content in real-time... We've only just scratched the surface as to what is now possible.
Key Code Media is a proud early adopter of NDI workflows and enabling productions to go beyond the traditional paradigms. As NewTek's #1 North American Elite partner, we will be bringing the IP Series on tour across the US with the first demos of this exciting new technology. Why not join us for a one-on-one demo as the IP Revolution takes over?
