ASIS International announced this week that it has changed the name of its annual security conference from the ASIS Annual Seminar and Exhibits to the Global Security Exchange (GSX). Building on its 60-plus year legacy as a premier security event, the newly branded GSX will take place in Las Vegas, Nev., Sept. 23-27, 2018, in partnership with InfraGard and ISSA.
"In what will be our 64th year of delivering the security industry's flagship event, the Global Security Exchange, or GSX for short, will build upon the change and reinvention introduced at ASIS 2017," Peter J. O'Neil, CAE, CEO, ASIS International, said in the annoucement. "This name reflects the Society's commitment to unite the full spectrum of security—cyber and operational security professionals from all verticals across the private and public sector, allied organizations and partners, and the industry's leading service and solution providers—for the most comprehensive security event in the world."
The education program, led by ASIS, InfraGard, and ISSA subject matter experts, will deliver an immersive and interactive learning environment for security professionals at all experience levels. The exhibit hall will be transformed into a learning lab environment, showcasing new and emerging products and technologies such as machine learning, robotics, forensic analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition, the revitalized networking events will facilitate relationship building and the sharing of best practices with peers from across the globe.
"From the Internet of Everything and soft target attacks to data breaches and drones, the velocity of change and risks knows no boundaries," Thomas J. Langer, CPP, 2017 president, ASIS International, said in the announcement. "GSX fills the industry's need for a global event that brings together the entire security industry, to exchange ideas and lessons learned, keep informed of current and emerging risks, and gain exposure to the emerging technologies shaping society and our workplaces."
While the annual event's new name is debuting now, the full rebrand will launch at the 2018 ASIS International Leadership Conference, which will be held Jan. 16-19, in Arlington, Va.
The Security Industry Association on Dec. 1 announced its new Autonomous Security Robots Working Group, appointing Mark McCourt as the group's chair. McCourt talked with Security Systems News about the group's formation and core focuses.
McCourt said that he's been working on the group since September. "We thought about getting out in front of this topic by taking the robotics, the drone, the anti-drone [or] drone defense, underwater unmanned vehicles, that section of the market that serves security, and start early on what SIA's platform should be to help grow this industry successfully as a partner."
This would give robotics companies a more direct reason to be a part of SIA, getting a voice at the table with SIA's various segments, such as its legislative, education and standards teams, McCourt added. The Autonomous Security Robots Working Group is a part of SIA's existing Public Safety Interest Group. The working group is currently seeking input and participants.
"We want to create good communications around this topic that we can get out and talk to people about."
The working group will be looking at a variety of relevant topics. "One of the things we want to do is hone in on the go-to-market strategy and the role of channel partners," McCourt said.
Education for end users and security practitioners—to inform them of the benefits of robots within security—will be a goal of the working group. "It's not all about job replacement and cost reduction," McCourt said. There are other elements of productiveness, and allowing people who might have their jobs impacted by robots doing other tasks to add value to their organization
"Robotics technology, especially when powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, has the potential to reshape how we think about security," SIA CEO Don Erickson said in a prepared statement. "The Autonomous Security Robots Working Group will help industry members and end users manage and leverage this change to greatly enhance the protection of people and property."
McCourt currently works with Cobalt Robotics, helping the company with commercialization.
Reed Exhibitions on Nov. 14 announced the launch of Unmanned Security & Safety Expo 2018, set to take place Nov. 14 & 15 in New York City, alongside next year's ISC East show at the Javits Center. The launch is an expansion of the Unmanned Security segment at Reed Exhibitions' ISC West event.
"The all-new event is focused on drones and robotics for commercial and government security and safety use-cases and drone detection/anti-drone solutions," Reed said in its announcement.
"We're excited to launch this cutting-edge event co-located with ISC East in New York in 2018," Will Wise, ISC group vice president, said in a prepared statement. "Reed Exhibitions' security portfolio strives to provide the industry with the latest products, technologies and education in security and safety. Unmanned Security & Safety Expo directly embraces an essential need in the industry for addressing the in-depth issues and opportunities of security and safety for UAVs and UGVs. In line with this launch and continued rapid expansion of unmanned security and safety coverage across our portfolio of events, we're enthusiastic to also announce a collaboration with the Commercial Drone Alliance."
In its announcement, Reed gave an overview of how drones have entered the space, after the FAA updated Part 107 of its guidelines in June 2016, which governs the commercial use of UAVs/drones. The changes reduced barriers for UAVs in commercial applications. Increasing the adoption of drones for security.
"The launch of Unmanned Security & Safety Expo directly addresses this need in the marketplace," Reed said, adding that 67 percent of ISC's traditional audience is interested in evaluating unmanned technology products, and 75 percent of attendees are interested in learning more about ongoing FAA adaptions to UAV regulations and policies. The Unmanned Security & Safety Expo will include education sessions and product demos on the exhibit floor.
"Our Commercial Drone Alliance has been heavily focused on security concerns and the growth of the drone security market, and we're thrilled to support the Unmanned Security & Safety Expo at ISC West & ISC East in 2018", Gretchen West, co-executive director, Silicon Valley - Commercial Drone Alliance, said in a prepared statement.
Attendees of the inaugural Unmanned Security & Safety Expo in New York will also have full access to the ISC East 2018, Reed announced. ISC East has a built-in audience of 4,500 security professionals, all of whom will also have access to Unmanned Security & Safety Expo. Both events are also supported by the Security Industry Association.
President Donald Trump recently signed into law the Power and Security Systems (PASS) Act, P.L. 115-78, culminating a yearlong effort led by the Security Industry Association (SIA) to preserve an important provision in federal energy efficiency requirements critical to the operation of security and fire alarm systems.
"The PASS Act provides much-needed certainty to manufacturers, installers and service providers who are among thousands of Americans that work in the security industry … but ultimately it benefits the millions of American consumers that depend on such security and life safety systems." Jake Parker, SIA Director of Government Relations, said in the SIA announcement.
Drafted with assistance from SIA and in collaboration with the energy efficiency community, the PASS Act extends a policy exempting security and life safety external power supplies (EPS) from having to meet a "no-load mode" energy efficiency standard, since they must always be connected and in active mode by design and no efficiency gains would result.
The new law makes the exemption essentially permanent by removing the July 1, 2017 expiration date on the exemption and providing the U.S. Department of Energy with authority to retain the common-sense policy in any future updates to energy efficiency standards governing external power supplies.
SIA led a coalition of industry groups in working with Congress to secure the exemption in 2011, which included a "sunset provision"—a common way of ensuring a new policy set forth in legislation is reviewed by Congress before becoming more permanent.
Preserving this exemption was a key concern for security manufactures and systems integrators, according to SIA, noting, "Without it, product redesign and adjustments to manufacturing processes would needlessly increase the cost of the equipment by 200-300 percent according to industry estimates, affecting not just manufacturers but the entire value chain."
Enactment of this important solution would not have been possible without the bipartisan leadership of the bill's sponsors Sens. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), as well as Reps. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), and Susan Brooks (R-Ind). Over the past two years, Gardner, Welch and Brooks have been recognized with SIA's Legislator of the Year award for their support of this and other policies important to the security industry.
This afternoon, I landed in San Diego to attend this year's Honeywell CONNECT conference. Below you'll find an overview of educational sessions I've attended and key themes and technologies highlighted throughout the conference. Be sure to check back as I'll be updating it for each day of the event.
Saturday, Nov. 11
In CONNECT 2017's third general session, Michael Flink, president of Honeywell Security and Fire who flew in the previous night to address the event's attendees, talked about the company's perspective and approach. He talked about how new entrants to the security industry from Silicon Valley have the model of putting out a product to learn from customers and improve on it.
This is the process that Honeywell is taking with its new DIY security system; using a crowdfunding site to get a product in the hands of interested consumers to learn from them and improve it.
Additionally, Flink said that the company is looking to invest significantly in research and development in the near future. Similar to DeBiasio, Flink discusses the company's decreasing time from a product's development to its release.
Jason Dorsey, a consultant and speaker from The Center for Generational Kinetics, was brought back after a popular performance at Honeywell Connect 2014. He addressed some myths and realities of millennials, such as their spending habits and their presence in the work place, as well as how their key attributes compare to other generations.
After the general session, I attended "We're Here to Help: Leveraging HIS Resources, Services and Programs to Grow your Business," to hear about the ways Honeywell supports its HIS dealers. The session was presented by Deanna Smith, sales supervisor for Honeywell Integrated Security. and JoAnne Goldman, HIS channel manager.
Goldman and Smith showed the HIS dealer website and its feauters. In the session, they covered a variety of topics, including online resources—such as webinars, articles and case studies, training materials, and specifying tools among others.
From the last selection of breakout sessions at Honeywell Connect 2017, I went to listen Honeywell's Quentin Gunther and Russ Ackerman, industry veteran and the new residential sales manager for Bates Security's Jacksonville, Fla., branch. The two presented on how to approach a customer and decide which items to sell in a home security setting in a session entitled, "When Do I Sell What in Residential?"
Throughout the session, Ackerman and Gunther highlighted the benefits of using a questionnaire in sales to determine key information about a potential customer, such as the reason they're looking to get a system, the amount of time they are typically outside of the home and what they most want to protect.
Customers don't always value what seems most important to the salesperson, Ackerman noted, citing an instance where a potential customer had a home and a family but was not interested in monitored fire protection.
In the session, the two speakers role-played a customer interaction—with Ackerman as the salesperson and Gunther as the prospective customer—to illustrate the type of information that can come out of using a questionnaire, the importance of how questions are asked and the difference in response when a customer is asked to expand. For example, a customer might say they don't travel much, but, in actuality, they are away most weekends.
Friday, Nov. 10
Three words were projected above the stage before the first general session: Differentiate. Disrupt. Deliver. These three words serve as the main themes for Honeywell's 2017 CONNECT and I saw some of that in the previous day's sessions; differentiating your company by being more involved in the community.
The general session started with a video address from Michael Flink, president of Honeywell Security and Fire. He highlighted the theme and introduced Mandy Harvey, a singer who differentiated herself by singing and making music despite having lost her hearing. Harvey performed her original song "Try" live on stage here in San Diego.
Following Harvey's performance, Scott Harkins, Honeywell's GM connected home, came on stage and addressed the theme of "Disruption." Companies that want to do well in the industry need to be open to the idea that disruption is possible in the industry, he said.
Harkins addressed the recent spin-off of Honeywell's residential and ADI businesses, which total a $4.5 billion entity. The commercial security and access control sides, a $5.5 billion business, will remain within Honeywell. This will allow both businesses the ability to be more disruptive.
Harkins outlined the market into three categories of U.S. households; the 20 percent without broadband internet, 60 percent that have internet but don't currently have a security system, and an additional 20 percent that have internet and a security system installed. Honeywell recently announced a DIY-installed home security system, and it is currently on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. This system is a way for Honeywell dealers to compete in the other 60 percent of the market, Harkins said, calling it "professionally-enabled DIY."
Alice DeBiasio, Honeywell's VP and general manager of software solutions, took the stage to talk a bit about the company's work in 2017. This year, Honeywell launched 10 products in its hardware business and more than 10 software offerings.
The company has also improved its pace of release, she noted: it launched its lyric platform in 12 months time, then its Lyric Gateway in less than 10 months, and the company's new DIY system is on pace to be less than 9 months.
The company released a new version of its Total Connect app, which has been highly rated by users, DeBiasio said.
One thing the company is working on now: partitions. Honeywell is working to enable users to arm and disarm different partitions of their property and assign different users to different partitions.
Josh Linkner, the first keynote speaker of this year's CONNECT, delivered his presentation "Harnessing Innovation: Fresh approaches to Growth, Creativity, and Transformation." Linkner has authored three books and founded multiple companies, including Eprize and Detroit Venture Partners.
To open, he said his goal was making the terms disruption and innovation more tangible and accessible. A theme throughout his presentation was that people should can, and should, stop and apply creativity in their business challenges.
He challenged attendees to think of one new idea for innovation; even if it's not implemented, professionals will start to think in that direction and that can even spread to coworkers, he said.
After Linkner's presentation, Honeywell's Medal of Honor award was presented to Doyle Security Systems and accepted by Kevin Stone, Doyle's chief operating officer.
Jerry Camarillo, operations manager for Dillard Alarm Company, presented one of the day's first sessions "Building RMR into Your Video Business Model." One of the technologies that Camarillo highlighted was MAXPRO Cloud, Honeywell's cloud-based hosted services platform for access control and video surveillance. "There's a different way to make RMR now," Camarillo said.
In his presentation, Camarillo pointed to a few benefits of using Honeywell products, such as recognition and trust with the brand and resources for technical support if a dealer needs help.
Within the "Building RMR into Your Video Business Model" session, Tim Sutliffe, regional sales manager for Honeywell Security and Fire, looked at a couple examples where equipment that is being installed today could utilize MAXPRO Cloud. When looking at the examples, Sutliffe pointed out that there's a certain amount of up-front revenue, but more RMR that can be gained through adding this offering.
Adding RMR services to a system that was already being sold by a dealer is a way to be disruptive in the industry, Sutliffe noted.
John Cerasuolo, president and CEO of ADS Security, gave advice for onboarding, ways companies can make their best first impression to new employees with some examples from ADS' processes. "I really spend most of my time on building the culture of our company," he said, underlining company culture's importance. "Sometimes it's easy to overlook the cultural stuff."
In his presentation, "Onboarding Employees for Success," Cerasuolo looked at several phases and scenarios for new hires and new employees.
Presenting culture begins in the recruitment phase, Cerasuolo said, with the information from ADS. Specifically, ADS focuses on messaging about culture and the high-tech nature of the business.
Prospective employees also get information from sites like Glassdoor, which allows current and former employees to review an employer, Cerasuolo noted.
Companies can also get involved after an employee has been selected but before they start. ADS sends a fruit basket to new employees. "I can't emphasize enough how significant [that] is," Cerasuolo said.
When the employee starts, ADS' main goal is to have them feel that they made the right decision in joining the company.
Companies should prepare for new employees, he said, meaning having all equipment—uniform, work phone, tablet, work vehicle—ready when a new hire arrives. Additionally, people in the company should be aware of the new hire.
In the first 90 days, ADS wants to have employees engaging with leadership and reflecting the company's culture to its customers. Cerasuolo also said that asking employees of 90 days for feedback on their roles can be a good way to field objective suggestions for improving the business.
Clearly conveying the company's culture is also important with onboarding employees following an acquisition, he said.
Conveying the right message to new employees isn't something that owners and business leaders can delegate, according to Cerasuolo. "To do it right, it needs the involvement of the senior leaders," he said.
At the start of the day's second general session, Quentin Gunther, Honeywell's dealer development manager, gave awards to companies that have now been Honeywell dealers for 20 years—Interface Security Systems and Western Alarm—or 25 years: Golden Bear Alarm, KST Security, Pasek Corporation, and RFI Communications and Security Systems.
Several dealers got on stage to share their views on disrupting, differentiating and delivering.
First, ADS' John Cerasuolo, talked about ways Honeywell products can help a business like ADS differentiate itself. ADS is exclusively using Honeywell products for its residential business, he said.
Specifically, Cerasuolo looked at the Lyric product, which has been positively reviewed by ADS' installation team, sales team and its customers, he noted. He highlighted three main benefits to offering the Lyric. It allows dealers to more effectively control and manage the installation process, it helps reduce service costs, and with new features coming out for AlarmNet 360, it can help to cut attrition, he said. "That's a combination that you just can't avoid," he said.
Alexandra Curtiss, Alarm New England VP, talked about her approach to starting a DIY business. One step Curtiss took was calling large competitors, such as LiveWatch and SimpliSafe, to see how they go to market. A lot of what Curtiss does is similar to large players in the industry, but is backed by a family-owned business.
Curtiss suggested that attendees should call their customers, to see if they are pleased with their service or if they might like more aspects to their system. By understanding the market, companies can better understand how they are different and teach their reps to speak to that differentiation.
Scott Hightower, president and CEO of Verified Security, addressed the topic of delivering the best results, both for industry businesses and their customers. In order to deliver, Hightower said that companies need to do a few things: be innovative in the offerings, provide solutions, give reliability, and support the products and services.
Hightower also addressed several ways that companies can know if they are delivering, such as customer surveys, net promoter score or by getting reviews or testimonials.
Honeywell's Life Safety Award was this year given to Graham Bloem, the founder of Shelter to Soldier, a charity that rescues dogs from shelters, fully trains them to be psychiatric service animals, and pairs them with a veteran who is recovering after returning home.
Veteran Vic Martin came on stage with his service dog to talk about how the program changed his life.
"Why believe in the cloud?" This question was the session title and main point for Scott Hightower's educational session, one of the final selection of sessions for the day.
Hightower opened with an overview of what is good about the cloud. Cloud is well tested, Hightower pointed out, and cloud services have been in other industries longer than they have been in the security space. The cloud also presents an RMR opportunity for installers as well as lower initial costs for customers. Additionally, products in the cloud evolve faster, with quicker fixes to problems.
In the presentation, Hightower discussed his company's work with the cloud, particularly with Honeywell's MAXPRO Cloud offering. He lauded the product's functionality and commented on the variety of deployment methods—hosted, managed or a hybrid model—and its mobile app among other benefits. The mobile app is a strong selling point, he said.
The platform also lets companies monitor the health of devices, and contact their customers when a product goes offline.
In terms of pricing, the industry tends to undervalue the services that it provides, he said. To help sell the service, Hightower noted that he puts an emphasis on compensating RMR that's brought in.
Verified started with a measured deployment of MAXPRO Cloud, Hightower said, to ensure that his business could support it. Systems don't need to be entirely on the platform. Companies can have an NVR on premise and a selection of cameras linked to the cloud for redundancy, he said.
Thursday, Nov. 9
The first educational session I attended was "Maximizing you Monitoring: How to Ensure Your Central Station Is Working for You," a presentation from Tony Wilson, president of CMS. Here, Wilson discussed key points and questions dealers should consider when looking at a wholesale central station.
Companies should look at their monitoring center in terms of its people, he said, advising companies to tour their monitoring facilities. "Go visit your central station. See the people, meet the people," he said. Alarm dealers should also be looking at how the central station recruits, hires and trains its employees, as well as its process for quality assurance.
There's also the level of service to consider; while a quick response is the goal in a monitoring center, representatives should also be courteous and polite, Wilson noted.
When it comes to the center's technology, "Make sure your monitoring partner is not cutting any corners," Wilson said.
Companies also should have the right tools available to them. He gave an overview of how CMS worked with a third party software developer to design its new CMS Compass dealer portal to better assist its partners.
Disaster recovery is another key consideration. Dealers should know their monitoring company's policies around events—such as natural disasters—that may affect the station or otherwise increase alarm traffic. "Ask what the plans are for an evacuation," he said.
In the end, companies should find a monitoring center that fits them best in terms of capabilities and overall attitude, he said.
APS owner Cat Fleuriet, EPS director of business development David Hood, and Custom Alarm CEO Melissa Brinkman, in the second session I attended, each gave their insight into how security companies can differentiate and better themselves by becoming more involved in their respective communities.
Fleuriet opened the session with her company's approach to community service. APS, based just outside of New Orleans, hears what its employees care about; the company asks each of its new hires about the community service opportunities that are most important to them.
Helping out can, in turn, help the business too. People want to do business with a company that gives back to the community, said Fleuriet. It can also be a recruitment tool, Hood noted, with employees wanting to be aligned with a company that contibutes to the area.
Community service can be a simple gesture, Fleuriet said. As an example, APS delivered handwritten notes from its employees to residents of the Ville St. Marie Senior Living Community.
Security companies can also recognize a need in their area and fill it, Fleuriet said, such as with assisting after natural disasters. Gathering school supplies for children is one example she gave, stressing the importance of returning to normalcy after a difficult event such as a hurricane.
Hood said that EPS has been embracing community service more in the past 10 years.
EPS, based around Grand Rapids, Mich., is a local business that is competing with national companies and community service can make a difference, Hood said. Companies can also get benefits out of more local involvement, such as networking.
Earned media recognition, when a company gets recognized for its local efforts, can also be a valuable resource, Hood said.
Companies can get overwhelmed with requests for sponsorships or their desire to help many areas of the community—don't overcommit, Hood advised. For example, EPS tries to only donate money where it will also donate its time.
Custom Alarm is based in Rochester, Minn. Brinkman gave examples of how the company has gotten involved. The company has been very involved with United Way, said Brinkman, as well as with local efforts like Fire Prevention Week and Litter Bit Better, which gathers volunteers to clean up roadsides in the area.
Custom Alarm looks to focus its efforts on specific areas, such as aiding people in crisis and the development and support of children. Brinkman also organizes where it devotes resources, looking at who is suggesting the charity—a customer or an employee—and if it is an employee, whether they are also donating time or money as an individual.
While there can be positive benefits to a company helping its surrounding community, all speakers stressed that this should not be the largest factor in starting a community service effort.
YARMOUTH, Maine—With the recent announcements from Nest, Ring, and Samsung/ADT, as well as Honeywell's announced plans to offer a DIY solution, many in the industry are speculating on the impact DIY security systems could have on the security industry.
New research from Parks Associations shows aggressive innovations in smart DIY solutions will reinvigorate the home security market. Parks found that new and more economical DIY systems from key players, including Nest, Ring, Samsung, and ADT, are part of a key step in expanding the security market. The international research firm also notes that new smart DIY solutions will reinvigorate adoption of home security, particularly among younger consumers.
"Consumers value security and safety use cases, but the security market has struggled to move beyond the traditional 20% penetration level in the U.S.," Brad Russell, research director, Connected Home, Parks Associates, said in the announcement. "Aggressive moves by companies such as Ring, which launched its inexpensive Ring Protect DIY home security system in October, will help attract new and younger consumers into the security market. Ring's pricing strategy also puts downward pressure on other players to lower prices."
Parks Associates reveals that 37 percent of smart home device owners report safety is the main reason they purchased a smart home device and nearly 30 percent bought a smart home device primarily to monitor their home while away. The firm notes that DIY innovations with on-demand, no-contract monitoring options could help expand the market for device makers and for monitoring providers who seek inroads to young consumers.
"Samsung and ADT have joined forces for the ADT Home Security Starter Kit, which expands the self-installable DIY segment," Russell said. "Meanwhile, hub-based security systems are an intentional strategy to stake out a controller position in the home for a variety of future device and service offerings."
This latest Parks' research comes on the heels of findings from London-based research firm IHS Markit, which estimated that in 2016 the Americas was the largest market for DIY security alarm sales, expected to grow at a 20 percent CAGR over the next five years.
Security Systems News is also looking at the impact of DIY on security in its latest News Poll.
In mid-October, ESX opened registration for ESX 2018, to be held in Nashville, Tenn., June 19-22. "To open the event to even more industry professionals, ESX is launching registration with budgeting season in mind," the announcement read.
"It takes people to drive profits," ESX chairman George De Marco said in a prepared statement. "At a time when market competition has never been fiercer, it's important to invest in your people—to fuel their development. Launching registration early allows business owners and management to plan for ESX, while in budgeting mode. I urge you to think hard about professional development programming for you and your team — I'm confident there's no other event that can deliver the same impact to your business."
Additionally, ESX is currently offering its full-access Premium Pass at $199. The event will feature new technologies, perspectives ideas and best practices relevant to electronic security and life safety companies.
According to the announcement, "Educational programming will address such topics as: building sales teams, increasing leads, driving profits with doorbells, cameras and door locks, tracking top KPI's, customer care programs, creation cost analyses, organic vs. acquisition growth, disruptive technologies, cyberattacks, attracting and retaining operators, and more."
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—The Monitoring Association recently recognized two notable professionals: Morgan Hertel, vice president of technology and innovation of Rapid Response Monitoring Services, and Sascha Kylau, vice president of sales at OneTel Security.
Hertel was awarded The Monitoring Association's highest honor, the Stanley C. Lott Memorial Award for Exemplary Service. "This award was created to honor the memory of Stanley C. Lott, a TMA (CSAA) past president renowned for his above-and-beyond efforts to lead and financially support the Association through difficult times," the announcement read.
Pamela J. Petrow, then-president of TMA who presented the award, said in the announcement: "Morgan is someone who gives tirelessly of his time through committee work, responding on our digital community board, and in one-to-one consultation, all in an effort to improve our association and to educate others in the industry … including his competitors!"
Hertel said in the anouncement, "This is really an honor and a privilege – not only to receive this award but to be here at the TMA Annual Meeting."
He continued, "One of the reasons I do what I do is a personal belief in the importance of giving back. I think many in our industry feel the same way. You give back to your community, church, faith, your industry that's provided you with a great living over the last 40 years.
Kylau was awarded TMA's President's Award for service to the alarm industry.
"Part of TMA's mission to provide education to our members that helps them meet today's industry challenges. This year Sascha's efforts as co-chair of the Technology Committee and member of the Education Committee have resulted in considerable advances toward that goal," Petrow said in the announcement of Kylau's award. "He helped coordinate technology webinars open to all TMA members, spearheaded the Annual Meeting technology sessions that were a big attraction at our event, and assisted in the review of the Level 1 training course."
Kylau, upon receiving the award, said, "I am honored to be presented with this award by Pam Petrow. Not only do I consider Pam a friend but I look to her as a mentor; she has helped me to become the person I am today. I have had the privilege of serving this association for the past 19 years. I will continue to bring my knowledge to the table and assist the association in its education as we move forward in a constantly-evolving industry."
Both awards were presented at TMA's annual meeting, held Oct. 7-11 in Scottsdale, Ariz.
On the Move Systems announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices will make its S5 Security Guard Robot available to members of PSA Security Network, one of the world's largest systems integrator cooperatives in North America, encompassing more than 400 branch locations and employing more than 7,500 industry professionals, with more than $4.5 billion annually in security, fire, life safety and pro audio-visual installations.
By leveraging the power of the PSA Security Network, RAD will expand the geographic reach of the innovative S5 Security Guard Robot solution while allowing PSA members to gain access to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence market.
Steve Reinharz, president and CEO of RAD, told Security Systems News that he is excited to offer a robotic solution through another channel as part of PSA's expansive integrator network.
"This is a big announcement for us and another great way for RAD to be introduced to end users through the integrator channel," he said. "We already have a couple of PSA affiliated members signed up as RAD dealers. It was really great meeting and working with [PSA president and CEO] Bill Bozeman on this partnership. The foresight he has—he really understands this opportunity—and we both feel it is important to include integrators in the RAD ecosystem. Previously I had been focusing on guarding companies, but because of Bill Bozeman and others on my team, I have opened up the channel to integrators as well."
"Robotics is the wave of the future, and PSA strives to be a leader in the delivery of cutting-edge technologies," Bozeman said in the announcement. "RAD enables PSA integrators to deliver advanced solutions that streamline efficiency, are cost effective and strengthen overall security. We are excited to have the opportunity to add RAD to our rich portfolio of technology partners."
Reinharz noted that this partnership not only allows RAD to expand its market reach, but also to "educate more end users on how these solutions can solve today's most complex security problems," he said. "PSA members will now have the ability to not only offer a cutting-edge technology to their customers, but also add additional revenue to their business through our robots-as-a-service model."
RAD robotics "redefines the security services market, allowing organizations to augment the value of traditional manned guarding services with high-tech robotics," the press release read. "Through the incorporation of advanced analytics and strategic technology integrations, the artificial intelligence solutions created by RAD accelerate deep learning, automate the security patrol process and build situational awareness for leaders and first responders in the event of an incident."
RAD currently has a sales pipeline of more than 50 Fortune 500 companies and more than 25 qualified dealers and distributors that have a combined customer base of more than 35,000 end-user corporations.
Honeywell began notifying customers this week about the launch of a new DIY home security system.
"We are actively working with our professional security dealer and installer customers to grow their businesses as this industry evolves," Brian Casey, vice president and general manager, Residential & Intrusion Solutions, Honeywell Security & Fire, told Security Systems News. "We believe the rapidly growing self-installed security space represents an opportunity for professional security dealers to expand their existing business models. The new Honeywell Smart Home Security solution gives our dealers an opportunity to sell to a different type of customer, and compete against the new players expanding into this space."
Honeywell said through email that the new solution—called the Honeywell Smart Home Security System—is "targeting tech savvy consumers. The new solution will be an all-in-one, self-monitored and self-installed system that is attractive to the estimated 60 percent of U.S. households who aren't interested in traditional security services and contracts. Honeywell Smart Home Security System will be available for professional dealers early next year to help them reach this market."
This is a very interesting announcement, especially coming on the heels of all the recent developments in the DIY space, including announcements from Samsung/ADT, Ring and Nest.
In addition, SSN's News Poll is focused on the topic this month.

Another Good Reason to Become a Vegetarian
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 07, 2008
Our focus in Home Energy has always been on energy-efficient, healthy, affordable, and sustainable homes, but there are other areas of our lives that account for our total carbon footprint—how much carbon we are responsible for adding to the atmosphere—a measure of our contribution to global warming. Our houses and apartments, but also our cars, air travel, and the food we eat, all contribute. Don Fugler, who does research for the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation, estimated the amount each area of our lives contributes to our carbon footprint. He used a hypothetical family of four (two adults, two kids) in Ottawa, with a medium-sized house (2,400 square feet) and two cars (Ford Explorer, 20 mpg highway and 16 mpg city; and Honda Fit, 40 mpg highway and 30 mpg city) to do the calculations. A midefficiency gas furnace and a natural draft gas water heater heat the home—the family spends about $1,200 per year on heating air and water. Both parents work, and each one travels about 20 miles round trip to work each weekday. The kids travel a few miles each day back and forth to school. The two parents make a total of five trips to Toronto and ...

So I'm digging through my DVDs the other day and I discover a copy of a movie called Buddhist Life. The director was a guy named Luis Carapeto. He was Portuguese. I remember him coming to a number of Nishijima Roshi's talks and retreats. Then he went back to Portugal. Later on he returned to Japan with a couple of people and a bunch of video equipment to make a movie about Nishijima.
He gave Nishijima a copy on VHS, which I then copied for myself and later transferred to a DVD-R. Then, as far as I knew, the movie just vanished. IMDB doesn't list it. I checked around the interwebs and the only reference I can find is this listing from a film festival in Amsterdam. It gives the year of production as 2003. I think the movie may be a couple years older than that. But my memory is not so reliable. Amazon has a listing for it. Though the DVD appears to be out of print. So buy the download because maybe Luis is getting some money from those sales. And I'm sure it'll look and sound a lot better than this third generation copy.
The synopsis on that Dutch film festival's website says:
"I live my Buddhist life from day to day, from moment to moment sometimes in my office, sometimes in my home, sometimes in a temple. In every situation there was just my Buddhist life." Gudo Wafu Nishijima was born in Yokohama, Japan. With a new and fresh approach to the Buddhist view of reality and the sense of balance to the philosophical and scientific investigations from last decades, Master Nishijima gives us the coordinates to start to understand Buddhism with our own method of thinking. He wants to pass the teachings of Buddhism to people all over the world who are searching for "Truth". "We have to say that we live in a succession of moments rather like the frames of a film." In these frames, from the present moment, the documentary is about Master Nishijima´s daily life that is all ready a Buddhist life.
I uploaded the whole thing onto YouTube this morning. Luis, if you're out there and you want me to remove it I will. I'm under the impression that Luis and the others who made the movie have kind of forgotten about it at this point. I'm hoping maybe this blog posting might spark some renewed interest in it. I say again unto thee, buy the download! It's only two dollars, ya cheapskates!
Watching it again I'd forgotten how good it was. It gives you a very honest look at who Nishijima Roshi was when the film was made. It shows him leading one of his annual retreats in Shizuoka for foreigners. It shows him in Europe giving talks and running a sesshin. It shows him talking to students of his from Israel and Ireland. There's also a wonderful scene of him dragging his suitcase through Tokyo Station. He always insisted on carrying his own stuff when he went on retreats. If you wanted to help him out with his bags you'd have to kind of trick him by grabbing them before he noticed. But he was always very quick.
In one of the scenes Nishijima is in his office at the Ida Soap and Cosmetics Company working on the translation of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika, although the book itself isn't mentioned. This would have been a couple years before I got involved with it. He was working on that thing for ages.
The opening scenes were shot one morning at Nishijima's dojo in Chiba prefecture. It was a thoroughly urban Buddhist living space. At one time it had been Ida's company dormitory back in the days when Japanese companies made new workers live together in dorms. After they stopped using it they gave it to Nishijima to run as a dojo. Then when Mr. Ida died his son decided to take it back and sell the property. Residents were required to sit two periods of zazen each day. Nishijima himself rang a bell at 5:30 every morning to signal the start of the first period. Residents weren't required to attend that one. But the bell was there to offer encouragement to do so. I never lived in the dojo myself.
I appear at about 2:55 into part two sitting next to Nishijima in the zendo at Tokei-in temple in Shizuoka. I think maybe you can hear my voice as one of the people asking questions in one of the lectures too. But I'm not sure if it's me or not.
I have to warn you, though. The movie is painfully slow. If I would've edited it I would've made it a lot speedier. But I think Luis wanted to give viewers a sense of Nishijima's lifestyle. He seems to be attempting to recreate the feeling of sitting zazen in the form of a cinematic experience. You'll have to judge for yourself if he was successful or not.
*At the time I posted this, part 3 was still loading up. So you may have to sit some zazen till it becomes available.

We look forward to helping you find the best cost effective service for your business.
Maze Creator T1 has helped many different businesses and organizations get the appropriate enterprise class service at the best wholesale rate in their area. Here is a short list of some of the business types we already have experience with providing broadband service:
OC3 Wireless Bandwidth
OC3 wireless quotes are often less expensive than quotes for the equal amount of bandwidth for an OC3 land-line circuit. OC3 land-line circuits require a business to be located close to a fiber-fed telecom company central office (CO). Not all central offices have fiber. Also, the cost of laying fiber to the business location from the CO can be cost prohibitive. OC3 wireless circuits do not require "build-out" or the laying of fiber to the business location. This can result in huge cost savings compared to the cost of purchasing an OC3 land-line circuit.
OC3 wireless quotes are dependent upon the business location that requires the service. Generally, the most competitive prices for OC3 wireless service can be found in markets where there are several telecom providers competing for your business.
An OC3 wireless circuit would be able to provide the necessary redundancy that so many businesses are looking for. Wireless circuits have proven to provide consistent bandwidth for many IT applications. Because of this dependability and competitive pricing, many companies are choosing to use a wireless circuit as their primary circuit and a smaller bandwidth land-line as their back-up circuit. Traditional land-line bandwidth commonly enters a business (whether a small office building or a huge skyscraper) via a physical ground connection. If there is a natural disaster or accident that cuts this ground connection, bandwidth service will be interrupted. How many businesses can afford to be completely isolated from customers, vendors and branch offices for several hours, days or even weeks while the local telecom company repairs the physical lines? Most businesses would not be able to survive such an outage in today's unstable market. An OC3 wireless circuit is delivered through the air, and is completely independent from the ground connection. For this reason, wireless circuits are a great alternative when searching for redundant bandwidth.
OC3 wireless circuits provide 155 Megabits per second (mbps) of bandwidth.
OC3 wireless circuits can be used for MPLS networks, point-to-point private
lines and internet connection. An OC3 wireless circuit can support voice
(telephone), data transfer, data and video streaming, web hosting and video
conferencing. An OC3 wireless circuit is a good option for businesses that have
bandwidth requirements above those supplied by a DS3 circuit (45 mbps) or a Fast
Ethernet circuit (100 mbps).
To obtain customized, same-day OC3 wireless quotes, and to confirm availability for your business location, please use the pricing tool at the top of this page. It's free, easy to use and there is no obligation.

What Our Customers Have To Say About Us
I wanted to send a thanks for sending me wetsuit I ordered so promptly, but also for taking the time to add a personal touch in the packaging. I've been surfing my whole life, and been personally involved in "the industry" for quite a while now, and I have to say I can't ever recall getting such a pleasant surprise when opening up some gear I ordered online. I'm sure you guys send out TONS of these products, and to take the time to write not just a one-line handwritten note, but a full paragraph personally about my order, was quite impressive. That, and the little extras - the bar of wax, the sticker, the Futures catalog (not sure how you knew I used Futures), and the candies - you just don't see that kind of extra attention any more. That really made my day, and I'll definitely be ordering more from you in the future. Thanks again and happy surfing!—Danny
Josh was pivotal in helping me find the right sized wetsuit for my girlfriend. Now I just hope I can replicate the same advice, teaching her how to surf :) Seriously Josh, thanks for your time. cheers to a clean line.—Brando
Aloha: I am a long time (40+ years) Malibu surfer. Recently I had a gear problem, it doesn't even matter what gear or what the problem was, I went to my local surf shops (Becker, Malibu Ocean Sport, ValSurf) where I have spend thousands of dollars over the years and suffice it to say they could not be bothered. "Sorry Bro, can't help you". Then I found Cleanline Surf Shop on the web, and sight unseen they stepped right up. Turns out they are in Oregon! I shipped them my problem…solved. I may never even meet them but they deserve a good word. So, Mahalo to Angie and the Cleanline Crew.—Rick Miller, Malibu
I just wanted to let you know that you guys are legit. Not only do you have great prices, free shipping and no tax, you shipped my new patagonia suit the next day. I was so stoked to receive it only a couple days later and start breaking it in. Even more impressive though, were the handwritten note and extras in the box. They might have been minor details but they were a welcome surprise and represent an attitude and way of doing things that I wish were more common nowadays. Rarely do I get this kind of treatment from local shops and never on the internet. Keep up the good work, I'll be ordering from you again in the future.—Michael
We just want to say we appreciate your outstanding service. Both Josh and Paavo were very helpful when I spoke to them over the phone about wetsuits, sizing, etc. Their expertise and friendliness was just outstanding. Since we do not own a car we can not drive to an Oneill dealership. I felt like I was right at the shop when I spoke with them over the phone. Thanks so much for everything. We're looking forward to the Psycho 1.—Anna
Got my R4 suit in the mail today. Wearing it right now as I type this email. The candies, sticker and wax in the box made my day. It's the little stuff that counts. Thanks for being such a great shop, and an online shop with a good personality. Looking forward to being warm (finally). Thank you! Ok... time to take this thing off.—Kamil

Fixing Wet Basements and Crawl Spaces
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 01, 2012
A whole-house approach still holds true for a sometimes-forgotten space.
Most professionals in our industry understand the concept of treating the whole house as a system. Our normal focus is on insulation and air sealing, high-efficiency equipment, and good ventilation. Many contractors concentrate on the "high" and forget the "low"; attic insulation is given top priority while crawl spaces and basements are all but forgotten. Basements and crawl spaces are the foundation of the home, and problems there must be addressed when considering whole-house solutions.

Well, as the xkcd homepage is telling us, there is some new shit in the store. I am the expert on new xkcd shit, so let's take a look.
First off, the prints. Looks like the new ones are comics 627 and 688. Both of these are actually images which I think work better as posters than as a comics - especially the Tech Support one, which literally says it should be printed out and put up (luckily it doesn't say "everyone, buy a print of this in the store, put it up, now you are a computer expert!"). "Self-Description" is really more the kind of thing where when you see it, you say "Huh" rather than "ha," so as a poster, a reader is not expecting a joke, and shouldn't be disappointed. (theoretical experiment for xkcd fans: Put up a poster of "Self-Description" and see if anyone laughs at it and tells you it's funny. no? that is what I thought).
But the broader point about the prints is this: the pricing. Now I'm not the first to bring this up (Rob and Super Sam seem to have been, according to my old e-mails) but look: It's all well and good to charge $15 for prints (well, maybe not, but if people are willing to pay it, fine). But don't go and pretend you are doing some cool, radiohead style edgy anti-corporate rebellious thing. Randall writes that he's pricing the prints "Radiohead Style," but that's a blatant lie. Radiohead style would be letting people pay however much they want, including nothing. INCLUDING NOTHING. That is key. Click that link, and read the last sentence of the second paragraph real close: "And it's perfectly acceptable to pay nothing at all." That's what makes it crazy! No one cares that you could pay more than a usual price for the album, that's not news (What! Radiohead will be glad to take money you want to give them! Well stop the presses, mother fuckers!)
No. The point is that they were giving their album away for cheap or free. That is the news. That is the significance. That is what it means to price something Radiohead style.
To do what Randall does in his story - to say "You can pay me whatever you want, as long as it is above the price of $15, which is, come to think of it, kind of a lot for a black and white printed piece of paper" - that is not selling something radiohead style. That is trying to get their cool cache without having to actually sacrifice any income. LAME.
Also! I know, you thought I was done, I thought so too, but it was a lie - ALSO: Note that the minimum price for all the prints is $15. Right? But look closely! The default price is a whopping $25! If you want to pay less than $25 - I'll remind you that this is for a single sheet of paper with some black ink on it - you have to actively lower the price if you want to pay less than that. Meaning, there is a certain amount of pressure on you if you do so. You may think I am exaggerating and being paranoid, and I am, but I ask you THIS: Why is the default price $25? Why not $15, which is really high enough?
also, it may mean nothing, but I see that comics 500 - 700 are only represented by a mere 4 prints, while the earler comics get 15. I would say that that's because there are fewer good ones recently, but hey, I am probably biased.
Was I going to say something else? Oh yes. The posters! of course. Gravity Wells and Movie Narratives are now available as posters. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU ARE SURPRISED! I sure am not. The pattern with this is pretty clear: Randall makes a comic that is huge, and detailed, and took a ton of work. It's so big that you have to click it to see it full size, it doesn't fit within the confines of a mere website. And we all go, "dang, say what you will about how lame the content is, that shit took effort." And then he makes it into a poster to sell, and we go "Oh, right. That explains it."
Here, I'll quote from my Gravity Wells post, which in turn quotes from the Movie Narratives post:
The last overly-complex comic he made was the Movie Narratives chart, and back when he made that, I wrote two things about it that I think are worth mentioning now:But is there anyone out there who seriously doubts that this will not be turned into a poster, probably before christmas, and that Randall had this in mind when he made it?Clearly my prediction was wrong, and this is still not available as a poster. So I admit that I was overly critical on that one, and Randall did not act as lame or pathetic as I said he would. That's nice. Likewise, I think this comic feels like an advertisement for a soon-to-be-available poster, but until that is actually the case, I for one will not say anything.
Well, so much for that. Now the comic is an advertisement for a poster and I can say whatever I want. What I want to say is this: xkcd, the comic, is basically just an advertisement for xkcd, the store. The comic continues to somehow create this nerd cult for the comic and for its products, and for some stupid reason people don't seem to realise that that's all the comic is. That's why he needs to dumb down the math and science: so that more people will get the jokes, and therefore, will be susceptible to his comic-based advertising.
Look at the 3 newest shirts - woodpecker polo, Mr. Hat polo, raptor polo - and the tie, as well, which is new: none of them make sense on their own. They don't have a self contained joke, like the old shirts. A person who does not know xkcd will not understand those shirts. And that's the point! The point is so that people can buy them and feel like they are part of the club, and have fake-nerds come up to them and compliment them on their shirts and make them feel special, or so that non-xkcd fans can ask about them and the wearers can feel superior while explaining this particular piece of the Club Uniform. The comic just advertises the shirts etc and gives readers a false sense of nerdiness and non-cool coolness. People buying the shirts makes Randall realise he has to keep appealing to as broad an audience as possible.
it's a terrible cycle and i hate it, the end.

text: Friday, November 02, 2012 New Podcast: Physical Therapy Services in Palliative Care In the latest installment in a series of podcasts on hospice and palliative care, Stephen Gudas, PT, PhD, describes the goals of palliative care—to live better with disease and address the symptoms of illness—and the role physical therapists play in meeting those goals by helping patients preserve function and dignity. Gudas, who practices physical therapy in the cancer rehabilitation program of the Massey Cancer Center at the Medical College of Virginia, also illustrates how a high-functioning palliative care team can meet the needs of patients and their families. APTA will hold an audio conference titled Hospice and Palliative Care: The Collaborative Role of Physical Therapy on Tuesday, November 13, 1:00-2:00 pm ET. Online registration closes 11:00 pm ET Thursday, November 8, or as soon as all available spaces are filled. Comments How do I register for this audio conference? Posted by Elizabeth Herring -> >HPZAO on 11/2/2012 6:27 PM I assume pallative care is capped under the $1240 limit and would not be manually approved beyond? I do hope the manual review process is vastly improved and more fair. WPS currently has two letters that I have seen, one denying the full number of requested visits, and one letter denying all but five requested visits, not saying WPS is approving the five visits. The reason stated is that the skilled services of a PT are not needed for balance and safety; no reconsiderations allowed, but you may send in additional info on top of the three months of past records already demanded for the first review. Posted by Carolyn Bloom on 11/4/2012 5:26 PM Will there be another opportunity to view this podcast on hospice and palliative care by Stephen Gudas, PT, PhD? Thanks, Kim Posted by Kim on 11/14/2012 11:11 AM Kim: The podcast is available to members via the first link above. The audio conference will be archived and available for purchase in the APTA Learning Center. Posted by News Now Staff on 11/14/2012 2:25 PM

Can you add a link that we can email B.O.B? I live in the Bahamas and we can't do the texts that are promoted on the main page
Bobby man, I admire your music so much.
After 'Watchers' I've taken so much interest into your music, I love how honest and real your lyrics are and how you put so much of your heart and soul into your songs, people love you for that - we don't see much of that nowadays though, *cough VEVO cough*.
I was just wondering when are you coming to the UK? I've never liked a musician so much to go to his/her concert but it would pretty much be my dream to come see you live in person.
I had such a bad day today and your song 'I'll Be in the Sky' and 'Generation Lost' just made me feel so much better, I just love your songs and I don't know how to put it into words but they're just so amazing!
Keep it up man, you're like my hero Mr. Ray
Don't let yourself get killed by the watchers alright? (sshh)
It's a civilians' revenge.
Start spreadin' the news..
Come to Manchester man :)

I worked on the security team during last nights show at Xavier University. I was impressed with the show and after seeing some celebrities there in the past, i have to say B.O.B. was the coolest by far. Treated fans great and wasn't too good to sign some autographs. BIG THUMBS UP and recommend this show to everyone!!!!
B.O.B. I am a huge fan! Working on a school project and wanted to ask some questions. Where do I send it?
they should really upload the link to the song New York New York here a good quality one because all the links that i have found for this song the song sounds blurry or with static [sorry i really dont know how to explains it lol]
You cancelled your show in Iowa, except you didn't realize I planned my leave from Afghanistan so it would land on your show. I bought tickets and going was going to be a great way to end my short break home. I think you should cancell another show and still come. Iowa City is an amazing place and you wont regret it. Think about it? It would be the highlight of my leave from this place. Thanks.
Bobby ray. You've gotta come back to west Michigan. You KILLED it at fifth third Ballpark last summer, a good friend of mine caught your shoe. He went nuts. Don't blame him. Do all of us in Michigan a huge favor and come back. Think you could make my summer two years in a row?
-Max Vandewater.
check out the vid everyone!up and coming artist.
@ BadBadLB says you are not alone...we can make a ripple in mia but together we can cleanse the world.

French Films
34 comments:
I am not as seasoned a traveler to Paris as you are (I've only been 3 times) BUT I can say that one of the best things I ever did was take a boat ride on the Seine....talk about value for the money - purely magical and gives you a whole fresh perspective on the place. I hope you and bear have a beyond fabulous trip. Safe journeys. xo
Seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkling over the river in the evening is magical!ReplyDelete
I'm taking that $#@! boat as many times as I can.
Bonjour Carol. I have really enjoyed your list of favorite French movies, thank you. I could not agree more about "The Tourist." I adore Johnny Depp but I still can't understand why he and Angelina had so little chemistry in the film. In recent years, I have really loved "Change of Plans" and "I do." In fact, just watched "I do" again last week. Enjoy your trip, and your Seine river tour, best vantage point to see Paris according to Moi ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
When I took the bateau mouche, it was springtime, and people were there from around the world on that boat. we sat on the top-level, and all the different nationalities wound up singing individually and clapping for each group. One sweet little French man held onto my arm, when he saw I was American, and he said to me, "oh, sing that song that I love, please...sing that 'Yankee Doodle!'". Too funny.ReplyDelete
Lovely sketch! And French films are the best. Oui. Have a great trip, Carol!!
- Rick11:24 AM
À bout de souffle (Breathless)1960.ReplyDelete
There is a shot of Le Sélect at one point.....
Any French I have learned has come from staring raptly at Gerard Depardeaux and listening to his wonderful, soothing voice.
French films are inspiring, moody and fascinating.
Have you seen Le Moustache?
(Pls pardon me for probably mispelling fr. words)
No time to comment today - too much to do on Netflix. :-)ReplyDelete
Two of my favorite French films were not made by Frenchmen.ReplyDelete
la grande bouffe, with Marcello Mastroianni, and The Draughtsman's Contract, by British director Peter Greenaway.Some might find "bouffe a bit gross, on many levels, and the dinner scenes at night seemed to be totally lit only by the candles in the room, in "Contract", which was very surreal, sexy, and elegantly done.
Each yummy in its' own way.
Thank you for your list!ReplyDelete
I have seen some:) But not all and appreciate them!!
I so agree about the Tourist..We didn't even know.. we're watching it and I am saying..this is just like The Tourist:)
I LOVED both those films!ReplyDelete
The Draftsman's Contract maybe my all time fav!!
Carol ... you are tooooo funny on the boat answer .. can't wait to hear ... I have so many favorite French films .. something about Umbrellas of Cherbourg with the very young Catherine stays in my mind ... I rented it again recently .. such eye candy, even though they are singing the whole time.ReplyDelete
When was the last time bear had a bath?ReplyDelete
We loved "Queen to Play." Wonderful acting by everyone and so layered.
Copied all your films and will watch in France.
In France a "flic" is a cop.
Oh interesting about Un Flic!ReplyDelete
Yeah poor bear is getting a tad tatty :(
What to do?
He is not replacable right
I was going to suggest a while ago that you might want to procure a "back up" ... you could tell him you are keeping his spirit and all the memories you have shared, but he's getting a new body ... something a few of us would enjoy! Non?ReplyDelete
Wow, I am impressed by your movie review !! You know French movies better than most of French people themselves !ReplyDelete
Can't wait for my dear friend Lisa coming from Canada visiting me - BECAUSE - then we will go to PARIS!ReplyDelete
She just opened a cupcakery in Nelson BC and she is always telling me about this cupcakery she visited years ago in Paris...hope, we'll find it once we are there....
8 Women (or 8 Femmes) with Catherine Deneuve, French musical comedy murder-mystery film; it's brilliant. You can get a sub-titled DVD, well at least you can here in the UK. Also something completly different Brotherhood of the Wolf based on the book L'Innocence des loups ("The Innocence of the Wolves"), by Michel Louis.ReplyDelete
Ah, I always love a French film. I only saw I Do recently and really enjoyed it. My favourite Paris film is probably Amelie. Cliche perhaps, but I love the Quirky nature of it. I saw an astonishing film recently called Angel-A, that is perhaps the most beautifully filmed movie I've seen in a while. As well as being a visual love letter to Paris, it's also a fun movie (quite adult themes), but nice to see Jamel Debbouze, who i loved in Amelie, again. I'm very keen to see it again, and will likely buy the DVD of this one.ReplyDelete
Amelie is my favorite Paris film - but I've always loved French films.ReplyDelete
It sounds like you HAVE to take that boat ride!!
Trade in Bear???
I am surprised you have never taken that boat after al lthe times you have gone there. I own Charade. I love that movie and the scene on the boat.. I loved The tourist too. Cant imagine it being better. Will have to look for the French one.ReplyDelete
Louis Malle *loved* to film dinner scenes and their aftermath -- empty wine bottles, guttering candles, people still sitting, talking.ReplyDelete
I LOVE Bear. Leave him alone! (perhaps a good brisk brushing with dry shampoo?) I asked, and my husband promised he won't turn me in when I get too tatty.
Tell the retentives to transfer the critical energy. Tell them to go scrub their kitchen floors on their knees yet again.
You may know these already, but for comedy: the classic Le Diner de Cons, Le Placard (the Closet) with Daniel Auteuil & Gerard Depardieu, Apres Vous (also Daniel Auteuil, a favourite actor of mine), 8 Femmes (fab female cast including Deneuve, Beart, Huppert, Ardant). For drama: A la Folie Pas du Tout (He loves me, he loves me not is the English title) and A Very Long Engagement, both with Audrey Tautou, and Il y a Longtemps que je t'aime with Kristin Scott Thomas.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your list - several are new to me and now I must hie me to Amazon!
Thanks to the suggestion that you made on a post of mine showing some people playing chess in the Luxembourg Gardens, my daughter and I just watched Joueuse (Queen to Play) and thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely make our way through your other movie recommendations!ReplyDelete
Meant to add that I am mad about Bear now, just as he is! He needs no double!ReplyDelete
I have just returned from a week in Paris. Thanks for your posts; they help keep the city alive for me.ReplyDelete
Anthony Zimmer is one of my favorites, too. Have you seen Mon Meilleur Ami? Quand J'Etais Chanteur?ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your list of films.
Hello Carol!ReplyDelete
I just got back from my first trip to Paris. You don't know me, but you know my creations! I invented the NYC Subway Line of apparel and accessories, you have so kindly mentioned in your lovely blog. (I don't make the socks, but did make you Subway Map messenger bag and black Manhattan Map tee. Thank you for featuring us. We are at NYCSubwayLine.net for anyone else who may be interested.
Lynne Lambert
OMG Lynne!ReplyDelete
I am wearing your MTA T right now!!
I wish I had the MTA brolly.
And I always carry my laptop in the MTA bag.
They guys in Pierre Herme always comment it is 'cool'
but the T-shirt sizes are only for kids..
Thanks Lynne
Thanks for the movie tips! I've seen several of these and have put the others in my Netflix queue.ReplyDelete
I'm late commenting here, but Carol, thank you for this post! I think I'm going to sign up for Netflix and have regular French movie nights (with myself and some French treats) with some of these recommendations. Merci mille fois!ReplyDelete
