28 Oct 2014
(HONG KONG) Dragonair today announced the introduction of a suite of new products across its fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.
Dragonair is committed to offering passengers a premium travel experience and since early 2013 has been rolling out a comprehensive upgrade of cabins across its Airbus A330 and A321 fleets. The upgrade includes new First Class, Business Class and Economy Class seats together with a brand-new on-demand inflight entertainment system, StudioKA.
From November 2014, Dragonair will begin the next step in enhancing the passenger experience when it progressively introduces new products on its fleet of 15 A320 aircraft. In addition to installing new Business Class and Economy Class cabins, for the first time a comprehensive inflight entertainment system will be made available on Dragonair's A320 fleet, offering each passenger access to their own choice of entertainment.
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Algernon Yau said: "This ongoing upgrade of our inflight products demonstrates Dragonair's commitment to offering a superior travel experience to all our passengers. As the rollout of this suite of products extends further across our fleet, journeys will become even more relaxing and enjoyable. These significant product investments underscore our determination to remain a world-class regional carrier."
Some of the key product enhancements for the Airbus A320 include:
New Inflight Entertainment System
The A320 fleet will be installed with a wireless inflight entertainment streaming solution (Wireless IFE), offering passengers a wide range of exciting entertainment options through the extensive StudioKA library.
Once passengers have downloaded the StudioKA Application to their personal electronic device they can connect to the in-cabin Wi-Fi network, enabling them to access the StudioKA inflight entertainment system and enjoy content that includes 80 Hollywood blockbusters and popular Asian movies, 500-plus Western and Asian TV programmes, music CDs, and 16 radio playlists. In Business Class, passengers will be provided with a tablet device to enjoy an additional selection of new-release and art-house movies, and more than 20 extra drama and comedy TV programmes.
New Business Class
The New Business Class product in Dragonair's A320 fleet will adopt the same design used for the A330 and A321 fleets. Every aspect of this product has been thoughtfully designed around passengers' needs, providing a space in which to dine, work, read, rest and be entertained. An iPadÒ will be provided to each Business Class passenger for entertainment purposes. Passengers can access the Wireless IFE library, or enjoy premium content stored within each iPadÒ.
The New A320 Business Class seat offers an extensive recline, extended leg-rest and innovative cradle motion that ensure passengers can relax in comfort. Each seat is encased in a fixed shell ensuring that passengers' living space is not encroached upon by those seated in front. The ergonomically designed seat articulates into a comfortable "lazy-Z" position that allows passengers to be cradled in the optimum position for relaxation. The design of the seat ensures that ample storage space is available for passengers' personal baggage and items.
New Economy Class
The new Dragonair A320 Economy Class features a wider seat, increased living space through a streamlined seat profile, and a comfortable four-way movable headrest. The new cabin design offers more overhead bin stowage space and a new LED lighting system.
Using the new Wireless IFE streaming system, every passenger can enjoy a wide selection of inflight entertainment on their mobile phones, tablets, or laptop computers. The new seat features two tablet holders – located on the seat back and on the meal table - for passengers' viewing pleasure, while the 110V AC power supply will keep laptops and other devices fully charged.

Upcoming Events
Race to the Top
Later today, the Department will make a major announcement regarding the 2012 Race to the Top-District competition. The purpose of this nearly $400 million program is to build upon the lessons learned from previous state-level competitions and support bold, locally directed improvements in teaching and learning that will directly improve student achievement and educator effectiveness. Information will be posted, as it becomes available, here.
Connected Educator Month
Secretary Duncan has declared the month of August as Connected Educator Month, a celebration and exploration of online communities and networks dedicated to broadening and deepening educator participation in learning and sharing. "Now, more than ever, we need strong leaders to guide the country in transforming education and vastly improving the opportunity to learn for every American," he stated. "Every educator needs to be connected with the best digital content, tools, and resources, in order to enliven the learning environment for students and to fully connect with peers and experts."
The celebration kicked-off with a three-day online event about connected education within the context of the larger education landscape, featuring keynote addresses by Deborah Meier, Chris Lehmann, Douglas Rushkoff, Larry Johnson, and Connie Yowell and a panel with the directors of the Department's Office of Educational Technology.
Also, six key educational issues, identified by the participating organizations, are being discussed in month-long forums:
- Professional Learning in the Learning Profession21st Century Professional Development;
- It's PersonalPersonalized Learning for Students and Educators;
- Beyond Top DownDistributed Leadership and Teacher-Led Change;
- Knocking on the DoorConnected Education and New Technologies;
- Connected Education and the First Six Weeks of School; and
- Giving Credit Where Credit is DueIncentivizing and Recognizing Teachers for Their Investments in Learning.
Each forum includes a core group of thought leaders, as well as top practitioners in the field. All are welcome to participate.
In addition, to help those who are not yet engaged in online communities or networks get connected, the Connected Educator Month web site offers a wide variety of resources, including: a starter kit for educators who aspire to build their connections with other inspired classroom leaders; a starter kit for school districts to integrate connected education in their back-to-school professional development; and a book club, currently featuring "The Connected Educator," with author Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach participating in every session.
A culminating, two-day online event will synthesize and distill learnings from the month and generate takeaways and next steps for the field. All events and activities from the month will be archived, and many will continue to grow. And, multimedia proceedings will be generated for distribution.
ESEA Flexibility
The Secretary recently announced that Nevada will receive flexibility from the burdensome mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). In exchange for this new flexibility, Nevada has agreed to raise academic standards, improve accountability, and undertake essential reforms to boost teacher effectiveness. This announcement brings the number of states with waivers to 33, plus the District of Columbia. Four other applications are still under review. Thirteen states and Puerto Rico have not yet requested a waiver through this process, although the Department expects additional states to request Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility by September 6.
Transforming the Teaching Profession
On July 31, the Secretary announced the 12 teachers selected as 2012-13 Teaching Ambassador Fellows. Five teachers will become full-time employees at the Department's headquarters in Washington, D.C., one will work full-time in the agency's regional office in Seattle, and six will remain in their classrooms and participate on a part-time basis. "It is critical that we work collaboratively with teachers to develop policies that will truly transform and elevate the teaching profession," he noted. "I am proud of the work our Teaching Ambassadors have done to talk with and listen to other teachers across the county, as well as the direct input they have given my staff. I look forward to working with this year's fellows to take this good work to the next level." Now in its fifth year, the fellowship program was created to give outstanding teachers an opportunity to learn about national policy issues in education and contribute their expertise to those discussions. Fellows, in turn, share what they have learned with other teachers in their professional networks, contributing to a larger understanding of federal initiatives and encouraging broader input into policy and programs designed to improve education at all levels of government. This year's fellows will continue to interact with the 70 previous fellows from the past four classes.
Also last month, the Secretary met with future teachers from the National Education Association (NEA) Student Program to discuss ways to reinvigorate teacher preparation and enhance communications with the Department.
This month, teachers, principals, and advocates convened at the Department to make connections and drill down on several topics, including next steps for the agency's Recognizing Educational Success, Professional Excellence, and Collaborative Teaching (RESPECT) Project.
Grant Awards
Over the last two weeks, the Department announced grant awards under several different programs. First, more than $21.5 million was awarded to 43 states to cover all or part of the fees charged to low-income students taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams. Based on the anticipated number of test-takers and other basic factors, these AP Test Fee Program grants are expected to be sufficient to pay up to $38 per AP exam for as many as three exams per student. By subsidizing test fees for low-income students, the program is intended to encourage students to take AP tests and obtain college credit for high school courses, reducing the time and cost required to complete a degree. Second, some $27 million was awarded to 56 school districts and community organizations who plan to implement comprehensive physical fitness and nutrition programs for their students through the established Carol M. White Physical Education Program. Third, more than $1.2 million was awarded to districts in California, Florida, Nevada, and New York via the Professional Development for Arts Educators Program, supporting model training programs for elementary and secondary education in music, dance, drama, media arts, or visual arts. Fourth, $11 million was awarded to three entities working to help charter schools obtain facilities (through purchase, lease, and donation) under the Credit Enhancement for Charter Schools Facilities Program. Fifth, $1 million was awarded to four schools in Illinois, Indiana, Texas, and Washington under the Realtime Writers Program, supporting court reporting and captioning programs with recruiting and training.
Also, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the availability of grants to conduct research into the value and impact of the U.S. arts sectorwhether on individuals or communities.
Odds and Ends
A total of 242 applications were submitted to the Department to compete for a share of $60 million in 2012 Promise Neighborhoods funding, which supports community-led work to build partnerships, secure social services, and strengthen schools. The agency expects to award about $27 million in first-year funding for up to seven new implementation grants and about $7 million in one-year funding for up to 14 new planning grants. Remaining funds will be used for second-year funding for the five implementation grantees awarded last year.
A blog entry recaps the third annual Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention Summit.
"The Irreplaceables," a new study by TNTP, documents the teacher retention crisis in America's schools. Spanning four urban districts with 2,100 schools, 1.4 million students, and 90,000 teachers, the study focuses on the experiences of the "irreplaceables"teachers so successful at advancing student learning that they are next to impossible to replace. The study finds that schools rarely make a strong effort to keep these teachers, despite their success. So, the best and worst teachers leave urban schools at strikingly similar rates. Indeed, the nation's 50 largest districts lose approximately 10,000 irreplaceables each year.
Video is available for the last two summer "Let's Read! Let's Move!" events on the Department plaza. On July 25, Secretary Duncan was joined by Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service Wendy Spencer, District of Columbia Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson, and U.S. Representatives Raul Grijalva from Arizona and Danny Davis from Illinois. On July 30, the Secretary was joined by Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Munoz and football player Brian Mitchell.

Quote to Note
"Being an Olympian isn't just about winning gold or setting a record. It's about pushing yourself and believing in yourself. It's also about being active and taking care of your bodies. That's what Let's Move! is all about. It's about helping kids like you live happier, healthier lives. That's why we brought you all here today... because we want you to see that there are all kinds of ways that you can stay active and have fun doing it. You don't have to be an Olympian. You don't have to join a team. But there are so many ways that you can keep yourselves moving and have fun."
|First Lady Michelle Obama (7/27/12), addressing American and British children at Lets Move! London
Upcoming Events
Today, the White House will welcome over 150 Parent Teacher Association (PTA) leaders from 41 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. military bases overseas for a day-long briefing. As part of this briefing, the White House will honor 12 parents as "Champions of Change." These extraordinary parents have devoted their time and energy to their PTA chapters and will have the opportunity to share their stories with Administration officials. The opening session (9:30 a.m. ET) and Champions event (2:00 p.m. ET) will be streamed live online. Also, anyone can join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #WHPTA.
On August 15, at 2:00 p.m. ET, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will host a free webinar on cyberbullying, detailing how parents, schools, and communities can work together to help prevent this growing problem by creating a supportive environment and talking to children about the potential impact of cyberbullying.

Hiking Ball Pass Crossing
The views on the Ball Pass Crossing are out of this world - totally stunning. It's a good introduction to mountaineering - you need to be a very fit hiker.
1 / 4
We were in safe hands with our professional mountain guides, who taught us how to use crampons and ice-axe and how to self-arrest - all while we climbed Kaitiaki Peak. "Kaitiaki" means guardian, and yes, it's like a smaller peak standing guard in front of the awesome Hillary (South) Ridge of Aoraki Mount Cook.
Caroline Hut - cozy and fun sums up this mountain refuge; no TV and other distractions, so you mix with other hut guests, chat and laugh out loud. Or sit outside, watching the sun set on Mount Tasman and behind Mount Cook, New Zealand's two highest mountains. Now and again an ice avalanche thunders down the Caroline Face, just to add to the drama. It's quite a privilege to be able to stay here at 1800m on the Ball Ridge, right in the middle of the topuni area for Aoraki (protective zone of spiritual significance for Ngai Tahu, the South Island Maori tribe).
In 3 days we cross the Mount Cook Range, starting beside the Tasman Glacier and finishing in the Hooker Valley, back at Mt Cook Village. We cover mountain terrain, rock, snow and possibly ice, untracked for a lot of it, so it requires careful footwork. Groups are small - only 4 per guide - with a maximum of 8 participants and two guides. This reflects the difficulty of the terrain, which, depending on the snow conditions, could require the guide to use a rope to belay you. Alpine Recreation provides all the gear - even boots if you need them - FREE!
This comment from a participant sums it up: "One of the best adventures I have ever had. It was beautiful and tough at the same time and I had a ball!"

Ball Pass Alpine Crossing
Be awed by our highest mountains on the Ball Pass Alpine Crossing, New Zealand's highest guided trek. Walk in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and have a taste of mountaineering.

Understanding Estrogens:
Estrogen is among the most powerful class of hormones. Although we commonly think of estrogen as one substance or one type of hormone in our bodies, it is actually a class of naturally occurring sex hormones produced by the ovaries and the adrenal glands. There are at least two
dozen known estrogens, all with various functions; every organ, including
the brain, heart, ovaries, and liver, has estrogen-sensitive receptor sites. The most commonly discussed estrogens are estrone, estradiol, and estriol, produced in our bodies. But, estrogens produced in the body are not the only ones we are exposed to. Many women take estrogen replacement or supplementation and believe it or not, there are estrogens in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the foods we eat.
Understanding the "Ugly
The main function of estrogens, as a group, is to tell cells to grow and proliferate. For example, they stimulate endometrial cells in preparation for pregnancy, prompt breast tissue growth, maintain function of the sexual organs, stimulate the menstrual cycle, and initiate the bodily changes that occur at puberty. If estrogen function and metabolism gets out of balance, cells can multiply unnecessarily, leading to dangerous situations, such as cancer in some cases.
Detrimental Estrogens
We live awash in environmental "xenoestrogens", foreign substances with
estrogen like effects in the body, that negatively affect our health. They are absolutely everywhere!
It is important to note that their estrogenic activity is much more potent than the estrogen made by our bodies. Xenoestrogens can mimic natural estrogen or block it at estrogen receptor sites on cells throughout the body. These artificial estrogens activate receptors to stimulate a hormonal effect or occupy the receptor and block natural hormones from doing their job, either way disrupting normal endocrine activity. Many of these hormone imposters accumulate over time because they are fat soluble; they are easily absorbed through the skin and can be stored in body fat, where they can continue to interfere with the body's natural hormone balance. These man-made estrogens find their way into the water supply, soil, air, and the food chain. As you might imagine, these have a serious effect on hormone balance. Most xenoestrogens are derived from petrochemicals and include pesticides, industrial chemicals, cleaners, plastics (water bottles, food containers), nail polish, and car exhaust. The pollution from these products causes health problems, including increased cancer rates and infertility.
Reducing Xenoestrogens in Your Life
Xenoestrogens are all around us—that's a fact. Previously, their
small amounts of estrogenic activity were dismissed, but recent findings
published in Environmental Health Perspectives indicate all
those little exposures add up. The researchers found that the effects
of a collection of xenoestrogens, even though each one was beneath
the levels at which they cause an effect, was to more than double the
effect of natural estrogen by itself. How do you keep these minute
exposures from making a difference in your health? Do what you can
to minimize your exposure to xenoestrogens—you'll find them in
some unlikely places.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The economy's growth in the final three months of 2013 was bumped up to a 2.6% annual pace from 2.4%, but the increase stemmed mainly from higher spending on health care and little else.
The solid pace of growth in the waning months of 2013 — following a 4.1% advance in the third quarter — showed an economy that entered the new year with fresh momentum but still not fully healed more than four years after the end of the Great Recession. And some of that momentum was lost in the first quarter owing to a brutally harsh winter that disrupted business operations across large stretches of the U.S. and kept consumers indoors.
While most economists expect growth to accelerate later in the year, the first quarter is shaping up to disappoint. Analysts polled by MarketWatch predict gross domestic product to taper off to 1.6%. Bad weather was a big factor but companies probably stockpiled inventories at a slower rate after a record surge in the second half of 2014.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Nor is it likely that consumers will continue to spend at the same pace as they did in the fourth quarter. The increase in consumer spending was revised up to a three-year high of 3.3% from 2.6%, mostly because Americans spent more on health care, according to Commerce Department data.
Higher health-care expenditures accounted for nearly three-fourths of the revised increase in consumer spending in the last three months of 2013. Bigger electricity bills also contributed.
The U.S. already devotes a larger share of its economy to health care than any other nation in the world and increased outlays are widely viewed by consumers and politicians as a problem. In any case, the spike in health-care spending might not last. Spending may have risen in the fourth quarter as consumers and companies prepared for the official rollout of the law commonly known as Obamacare that took effect on Jan 1.
With Americans directing more of their household budget to health care and utilities, they had less to spend on a variety of other consumer goods and services whose sales are indicative of a healthier economy.
"I hate to be a party pooper, but these revisions don't exactly point to a robust consumer spending willy-nilly on discretionary items," said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Pierpont Securities and one of the few Wall Street analysts not expecting a big pickup in U.S. growth this year.
Final sales of U.S.-produced goods and services were also lifted to show a 2.7% advance instead of 2.3%.
The increase in business investment, on the other hand, was softer than previously reported owing to an outright decline in spending on structures such as office buildings. Investment in structures fell 1.8% instead of rising 0.2%.
As a result, the increase in fixed business investment was trimmed to 2.8% from 3.8%.
What might help explain the lackluster level of business investment, at least in the fourth quarter, is slower though still-healthy corporate profits. The growth in aftertax earnings slowed to 2% from 2.4% in the third quarter and 3.5% in the second quarter, adjusted for inventories and other special accounting effects.
Despite record profits, companies have sharply scaled back investment over the past few years after a short-lived surge following the end of the recession in mid-2009. Business investment doesn't appear to have strengthened in the first quarter of 2014, either.
Most of the other key categories in the GDP report were little changed. Spending on residential housing, for example, was revised down to show a 7.9% decline instead of 8.7%. U.S. exports rose a tick faster at 9.5% and import growth was unchanged at 1.5%.
Inflation as measured by the PCE index rose just 1.1% overall or by 1.3% on a core basis that excludes food and energy. That's well below the Federal Reserve's inflation target of 2% to 2.5%, giving the central bank more cushion to keep interest rates very low for quite awhile.
GDP reflects the total value of all goods and services produced by the economy. The U.S. has expanded at an average pace of 3.3% since 1929, but growth has slowed to a 2.3% rate in the first four full years since the Great Recession ended.
Many economists believe growth will accelerate in 2014 and perhaps even top 3% annually for the first time since 2005, but the slow start will make it harder to achieve that goal. And so far there's evidence of a big rebound in growth in the offing.

Everest Training Center
The 74,000-square-foot Everest Training Center includes a full-sized playing field, simulated stadium lighting, a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing surface to allow for all kicking and throwing�drills.
The center's walls are ringed with banners commemorating Oklahoma's national championships, conference titles and bowl championships.
Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is enhanced by the Roy Williams Strengh Training Facility, created with a gift�that former OU All-American Roy Williams made after he began his professional football career with the Dallas Cowboys.
In October 2000, as head football coach Bob Stoops was preparing for the Nebraska football game that was destined to be part of that year's Red October and eventual National Championship, he spoke to a gathering of Campaign for Sooner Sports supporters.
Stoops discussed how challenging it had been to prepare for the game because the week had been rainy and miserable. How wonderful it�would be, Stoops told the crowd, to have an indoor training center where players could practice in inclement weather or after dark.
In 2002, with a lead gift from Jim and Christy Everest of Oklahoma City and support from other important donors, that wish was fulfilled.
The Everest Indoor Training Center is located immediately to the east of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and a short walk from the Switzer Center football complex. The center is linked with the Mosier Indoor Track Complex and adjacent to the John Jacobs Track and Field Complex.

Coker's Amber Lau (Mt. Wolfe, Pa.) led a second half surge by the Cobras as they defeated the Pfeiffer Falcons 76-61 in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action. Lau scored 18 of her game high 23 points in the second half.
The first half was fairly even with Pfeiffer taking a three-point lead (28-25) into the locker rooms. The Falcons offense was dominated by Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) who had 13 points on her own. Vontreece Hayes (Greensboro, NC) was a key player down low as she totaled seven rebounds, six of which were defensive. The Falcon bench contributed for four points, and six total rebounds in the firs half.
Coker had a more balanced attack with junior Jessica Cohen (Ladsen, SC) netting seven points, while junior Lau and freshman Kelley Godbout (Matthews, NC) had five points each. The same balance was present on the rebounding game for Coker as every player who played in the first half had at least one rebound. Godbout led the efforts during the first with six total rebounds.
The Cobra's offense clicked in the second half as they were able to outscore the Falcons 51-33. Lau again led the offense with 18 more points for a total of 23.

DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank's Texas Economic Activity Index rose 0.6 points in November, to a level of 100.1. The November index reading is 28 points, or 40 percent, above the index cyclical low of 71.7. The index has averaged 98 points over the 11 months through November 2012, eight points above the index average for all of 2011.

"Our Texas index increased for the third straight month in November, to its highest point since September 2008. The index for November shows broad-based acceleration in the state economy, with the exception of drilling activity, which continues to decline due to very low natural gas prices," said Robert Dye, Chief Economist at Comerica Bank. "All other components of the index were positive contributors for November. As with all other states, fiscal tightening in the form of both higher federal taxes and reduced federal spending will be a drag on the Texas economy in early 2013. However, we continue to believe that Texas will be a strong performer through 2013."
The Texas Economic Activity Index consists of seven variables, as follows: nonfarm payrolls, exports, sales tax revenues, hotel occupancy rates, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, building permits and Baker Hughes rotary rig count. All data are seasonally adjusted, as necessary, and indexed to a base year of 2008. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.

To me the synths sound pretty similar when set up similarly raw. The resonance on the Deepmind is a little different, but there's at least none of that stepping of the filter knob that the Juno series was famous for. The subosc on the DeepMind actually sound a little beefier to me. (I know, standard disclaimer of Youtube videos apply.)
Behringer at one time made a really cheap clone of the Boss Dimension C (DC-2) pedal. I remember preferring to use the DC-2 over the stock chorus back when I had the Juno. Unfortunately it's discontinued and the price has jumped.
Fortunately the TAL Juno chorus emulation VST is free, and heck, even a commercial Dimension D clone VST isn't that expensive. I bet either would pair up nicely with a raw DeepMind.

No blood is spilled or flesh ripped on screen in "Berberian Sound Studio," Peter Strickland's disturbing satirical thriller about the dubbing of a ferocious horror movie made in the style of giallo directors such as Mario Bava, Pupi Avati and Dario Argento. Instead, all the violence is aural.
The film combines the sounds of atrocities of the kind imagined by Edgar Allan Poe (achieved by the mutilation of vegetables in Foley work), plus eldritch wailings and warblings, unearthly screams and the eeriest of music — mostly provided by James Cargill of the indie electronic band Broadcast. Possibly not since Brian De Palma's "Blow Out" in 1981 has a movie been driven by sound as radically as "Berberian Sound Studio," named for Cathy Berberian, the late avant-garde soprano and composer.
The infernal noises torment the protagonist, Gilderoy (Toby Jones), a timid English sound designer and Foley artist of the 1970s, who has been hired by the surly Italian producer Coraggio (Cosimi Fusco) and his womanizing director, Santini (Antonio Manini), to create the dub for "The Equestrian Vortex," a shocker about witches menacing the girl pupils of a riding academy.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Opening in theaters and available on VOD on June 14, Strickland's second feature is a parable about violence's capacity to inflict psychological damage. Thematically, it follows in the footsteps of his 2009 debut, the quiet, gothic rape revenge drama "Katalin Varga," which the Hungary-based filmmaker shot in Transylvania.
All but a few seconds of "The Equestrian Vortex" are unseen by the viewer. "I felt I would have been defeated if I'd shown all that horror," Strickland said. "I have a genuine fondness for giallos. They were fun — there's no other word for it — and very poetic. But there was an ethical, hopefully not didactic, reason for doing 'Berberian.' When directors try to outdo each other to see who can do the heaviest, most outlandish violence, and when they hide behind moral high ground by saying they're trying to show how terrible violence is, it winds me up.
"When I talk to people about that I get two reactions. One is that 'violence has no influence,' the other is 'violence is terrible and corrupts you.' What about something in the middle? I don't think violent films should be banned, but it should be acknowledged that the violent image is incredibly powerful and can desensitize some people."
Gilderoy, who usually dubs children's TV programs and nature films in the garden shed of the home he shares with his mother in bucolic Surrey, is appalled not only by the sounds he creates but the images he sees.
Said Jones: "The script gave me a feeling for innocence being thrown into decadence, corruption and something rotten deep in the heart of the film that seems to be percolating throughout Gilderoy's whole life suddenly and destroying everything he believes. Even the letters he receives from his mother are about everything falling apart."
His paranoia stoked by the recording crew's contempt, Gilderoy starts to hallucinate and unravel. That's supposing he makes the trip to Italy in the first place — Strickland and Jones both allow that Gilderoy's nightmarish experience could be imaginary.
Strickland, 40, is a music concrète aficionado who in 1996 launched his own group, the Sonic Catering Band, to record the sound of food cooking. He became entranced by the sonically sophisticated soundtracks composed for giallos by the likes of Ennio Morricone, Bruno Maderna, Bruno Nicolai and the band Goblin.
"I started to realize how integral avant-garde music is to exploitation cinema, how horror lends itself to dissonance, atonal music and music concrète," he said. "I think the best example of that would be Morricone's soundtrack for [Dario] Argento's 'The Bird With the Crystal Plumage' [1970] and Wayne Bell and Tobe Hooper's for Hooper's 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' [1974]. You could play the 'Texas Chainsaw' soundtrack in a concert hall and people would prick up their ears."
The Anglo-Greek director said the soundtracks for both his films "took their cue" from the French composer Luc Ferrari's concrète masterpiece "Presque rien No. 1" (1970). "It's mostly a field recording," he notes, "but it taught me so much about perspective and editing and foregrounding and distance, and how to achieve a sense of space in a sound mix — for example, hearing dogs bark at night and trying to capture that certain echo."
The key influence on "Berberian Sound Studio," he says, was "listening to [the soprano-composer] Cathy Berberian's 'Visage' — this 21-minute piece of sound poetry, consisting of very intense howling, intended only for avant-garde circles" — which was recorded and edited by her husband, Luciano Berio, in Milan's RAI studio in 1961. "I always thought it could be amazing in a horror film. You can imagine someone like that making money on the side by doing a session for a movie."
During the course of "Berberian Sound Studio," avant-garde vocalists arrive to contribute to "The Equestrian Vortex" dub — performance artist Katalin Ladik ululates as a vengeful witch, free jazz improviser Jean-Michael van Schouwburg snorts and gurgles as a dangerously aroused goblin.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"These artists are not changing their performances or watering them down," Strickland said. "All they're doing is changing the context of what they do. That's paralleled with the Foley artists, who are not changing the sound of a cabbage being stabbed, which is what you hear in a kitchen, but the context again. By switching the association in your mind, it becomes very powerful."
Asked if he was affected by doing the Foley work while imagining "The Equestrian Vortex's" stabbings and slashings, Jones said, "I had to be in, in order for it to play. I had to have a fairly clearly idea about the kind of thing I was looking at and, indeed, the sound helped me have a clear image of that.
"The more challenging part was to make it interesting for the viewer, who is constantly denied something I keep seeing," he added. "It's a paradox that's probably linked to the way we see radio incredibly clearly. I'm sure we could see the quality of a radio drama by looking at the response of someone watching it."
Because of Strickland's enthusiasm for creating layered sound designs for both "Berberian Sound Studio" and the nonexistent "Equestrian Vortex," supervising sound editor Joakim Sundström said, "As a sound nerd, it was a once-in-a-lifetime project — this is the one you'd want to do."
Even the scenes depicting Foley work had to be Foleyed like any other scene. "Obviously we had to Foley 'Berberian' more realistically than 'Equestrian,' which we approached in a more '60s-'70s Italian way with close mikes," Sundström added. He had the "Equestrian Vortex" sounds transferred onto magnetic tape and re-recorded acoustically on old reel-to-reel machines in the director Roy Andersson's studio in Sweden "to give a sense of returning the material to its analog origins. It was such an aesthetically pleasing era for sound."
Despite the absence of but a single visible violent act — the cruel high-frequency manipulation of a voice actress to make her scream for real — "Berberian Sound Studio's" sound is all diegetic: Its source is present in the story, if not always seen.
It is Gilderoy, coerced by his producer, who turns up the frequency on the actress in the sound booth, ravaging her ears.
"It's an extension of the Foley — violence by proxy — and it comes at the point when Gilderoy realizes it's all gone too far," Strickland said. "Usually when a character in a film suffers, the audience has no direct relationship to that. My initial idea was to make the audience feel what the character's feeling: You are paying to watch someone suffer, now you know what it's like.
"When we did the mix we used pretty high frequencies, but then I realized I didn't want to be responsible for giving people hearing problems," he added. "You can get away with it in a concert by My Bloody Valentine, but not in a cinema. The only one who suffered was me — I had really bad hearing problems for a few days after that scene."

Do The Walk
I just got back from my morning hike. Michael and I have been doing this every morning and we love it. Each day we try go a little bit farther. Today we got up to 9500 feet—our cabin is at 8900 feet. It took us 1 hour and 16 minutes, from start to finish, stopping to eat a little snack before heading back down the mountain.
It's pretty cool to see that my body can adjust to the thinner air and climb the trail before me. I wasn't always so willing to take this walk:

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Junior Scott Alford (Hillsborough, N.C.) scored two goals, and senior goalkeeper Thomas Rusling (Sheffield, England) made a pair of clutch saves to lead the Lees-McRae College men's soccer team to a 3-2 upset of regionally-ranked Lincoln Memorial University to celebrate Senior Night Wednesday evening on Tate Field.
Lees-McRae (9-6-1) controlled the run of play for much of the match, outshooting Lincoln Memorial (9-6-1) by a 19-10 margin, including a 14-2 advantage in the second half. The Bobcats held a 4-1 edge in attempts from the corner in a physical battle that featured 29 fouls and a trio of cautions.
Prior to kickoff, the Bobcats honored graduating seniors Chris DeSanto (Greensboro, N.C.), Ryan Gillespie (Holly Springs, N.C.), and Rusling with their annual senior night ceremony, presenting senior awards to three of the program's hardest working and most beloved players before each made their final regular season start on Tate Field.
Alford paced the Bobcats with a pair of strikes, running his season total to six, as Jordan Wright (West Lothian, Scotland) tallied his 10th goal and third match-winner of the season late in the second half. Marvyn Rieger (Frankfurt, Germany) and Andrew Shoemaker (Raleigh, N.C.) each added an assist, as Rusling made two saves to earn his 33rd career victory.
Callum Home and Leonardo Da Silva each found the back of the net for Lincoln Memorial, as Mario Pinto added an assist and Marcel Barwanietz tallied eight saves. Da Silva paced the Railsplitters with five shots, as Pinto chipped in a trio of his own.
Alford got the Bobcats off to a flying start in the 12th minute, nodding home a long ball into the box by Rieger for his fifth goal of the season and a 1-0 lead for Lees-McRae. Lincoln Memorial leveled proceedings early in the 29th minute, knotting the score at 1-1 when Pinto settled the ball on the endline and fed Home for the one-touch finish from close range.
The Bobcats came out firing in the second half, pushing forward with relentless pressure before Alford rewarded their efforts in the 50th minute, netting his sixth goal of the season to give Lees-McRae a 2-1 lead. Alford took advantage of a defensive miscue by the Railsplitters, settling a free ball and catching the LMU keeper off his line with a chip into the back of the net from distance.
Rieger nearly pushed the margin to 3-1 two minutes later, ringing the woodwork with a header off a viscous corner by Matthew Cureton (Waxhaw, N.C.). Freshman Daniel Harris (Wilmington, N.C.) provided a stern test for Barwanietz just before the hour mark, whipping a shot targeted for the top corner from the flank, leaving the Railsplitter keeper little choice but to fist it over the bar.
Fortune continued to shine on the Bobcats late in the 84th minute, when the Railsplitter keeper was unable to corral Wright's long-distance blast after Shoemaker slipped a nifty through ball in to the 6-3, 200-pound forward.
Lincoln Memorial answered four minutes later, cutting the advantage to 3-2 when Da Silva bent the finish inside the far post from the top of the area just over two minutes from time. Da Silva's effort would prove to be the final attempt at goal for the Railsplitters in the match, as the Bobcats held on for the 3-2 victory heading into next week's Conference Carolinas Tournament.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Tuesday evening when the fourth-seeded Bobcats host the as-yet-to-be-determined fifth seed in the quarterfinal round of this year's conference tournament at 7 p.m. on Tate Field.

Kiss Cams? Draft picks?? This debate is over. Make way for the new home of the "Springfield Excitement"!
Almost as good as "Energy" (Darnell's choice) but not quite as powerful as "Thunder" if you ask me. Singular is in. And I dig the blue and orange jerseys. Here's the scene on opening night, which was no doubt the greatest night in Springfield history:
"Welcome to the American dream, a billionaire using public funds to construct a private playground for the rich and powerful!"
Doesn't look like they won, but that's cool. Everyone's just pumped to have a team. They've got an exciting young nucleus and a potential superstar in Mok Mu. Not to mention an energized fanbase with impressive bee-attendance figures nearing 500,000. Hopefully they can sustain it as the season progresses.

Three of the most popular boy bands of all time team together for a summer package tour loaded with hits, harmonies, and smooth moves
What You'll Get
Boy bands go back further in human history than most people realize, as evidenced by the recent discovery of ancient Egyptian LPs titled "Baby symbol, Baby symbol, O shape." Hum along to history with this deal to see The Package Tour: New Kids on the Block with Special Guests 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men at Times Union Center. For $52, you get one G-Pass for seating in sections 205–209 or 227–231 on Thursday, August 1, at 7:30 p.m. (up to a $65.85 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Because the ticket is a G-Pass, our customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their voucher at will cal.
"Ladies, we're coming for you," purred Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids on the Block. When NKOTB appeared on the January 22 episode of ABC's The View, Donnie had already stirred up excitement by revealing the group had a new album, 10, and a new single, "Remix (I Like The)". But when he dropped the news of their summer tour, Sherri Shepherd almost jumped out of her "I Love Donnie" T-shirt as the studio audience's squeals of joy threatened to knock satellites out of orbit. The thunderous bliss escalated even higher when he made the biggest of big reveals—NKOTB is being joined on the road by special guests 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men, giving the tour its apt name, The Package. Fans immediately canceled all other summer plans while trying to hide their wedding rings.
The poster boys for boy bands since 1986, New Kids on the Block left an indelible stamp on pop music and pop culture. Their bubblegum songs and airtight five-part choreography created the template by which all successful modern boy bands and Biebers abide, as did their distinct personalities. Jordan was the dreamboat, Jonathan was the shy guy, Joey was the baby, Donnie was the bad boy, and low-voiced Danny was the glue. Throughout the '80s and '90s, the Boston quintet resided in the hearts, tape decks, lockers, and Trapper Keepers of millions of fans. Hits such as "You Got It (The Right Stuff)," "Hangin' Tough," and "Step by Step" entered radio and MTV perpetuity, and they sound even more refreshing in this modern age. That's because, despite their good looks and media hoopla, the boys of NKOTB were expert singers who locked onto harmonies and wouldn't cop out with auto-tuning. Although they're no longer "new" or "kids"—as the members are now in their 40s—the distinguished gentlemen of New Kids on the Block still get their teenage kicks as their summer tour sizzles with signature moves, new jams, greatest hits, and an everlasting chemistry.
Fans of 98 Degrees have waited 12 years for the return of the mercury-raising quartet. Heirs to the NKOTB throne, the brotherly duo Nick and Drew Lachey, along with Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons, weren't the prepackaged product of string-pulling producers. They were simply fine vocalists with a penchant for four-part harmonies that hit the big time due to their talent and ambition. In mega hits such as "Because of You," "I Do," and "The Hardest Thing," the group sold more than 10 million albums before an overlong hiatus that led to solo careers and Jessica Simpson. Now that pop music has become popular again, the group has reunited for The Package and plans on belting out fan favorites while giving tastes of its upcoming album.
With more than 60 million records sold, Boyz II Men's penchant for heart-tugging ballads and barbershop-quartet-shaming harmonies has made it one the most successful groups in R & B history. From the new-jack-swing era of Cooleyhighharmony, when Boyz were boys, through its current post-adolescent druthers for infusing Motown classics with polyphonic manhood, the members of Boyz II Men persevere by squeezing emotion out of their hearts like human toothpaste tubes filled with soul. On stage, the group dives into a bottomless trough of classics from its champion career, which includes combustible anthems such as "I'll Make Love to You" and the seminal song "End of the Road," which is mostly heard blaring from police megaphones during high-speed car chases.

Personal computers are increasingly being used as the primary development environment for creating, designing and simulating audio algorithms and complete audio systems with live inputs from multi-channel audio sound cards.
In this webinar, we show how audio algorithms can be designed and simulated live in MATLAB and Simulink. Since MATLAB is a very popular tool of choice for creating many signal processing algorithms, we'll show how Embedded MATLAB can be used to convert MATLAB code into C-code and used within a graphical development environment, Simulink, which reduces the time to create test-benches for these algorithms. These Simulink models also interface with typical multi-channel sound cards through PortAudio which enables communication with standard audio drivers such as Direct Sound, WDKMS and ASIO.
The presentation also touches upon typical challenges engineers face when working with live multi-channel audio algorithm simulation, namely, channel synchronization, dropped frames, and latency issues. Finally, we show how an algorithm developed using this approach can be implemented on a real-time processor such as the Dm6437 DSP from TI for real-time deployment and parameter tuning. A 3-band parametric equalizer is used as an example to showcase many of these concepts during this presentation.

RCA Records has announced the upcoming release of EP1, the debut EP from Smoke & Jackal. The six-track collection arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on October 16.
EP1 marks the first collaboration between Jared Followill (Kings of Leon) and Nick Brown (Mona). Smoke & Jackal were revealed to the universe earlier today as BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe debuted the EP's electrifying first single, "No Tell," officially declaring it to be the "Hottest Record in the World." A companion video clip for "No Tell" is currently in post-production, with a premiere date to be announced soon. "No Tell," will be available via iTunes and all digital providers on August 28. Take a listen to it below:
Followill and Brown began recording as Smoke & Jackal earlier this year, fueled by multiple bottles of red wine and a shared fascination with timbre, rhythm, and aural adventure. They set to work at Brown's Nashville home studio and before the first evening was through, the duo had crafted both "No Tell" and the stunning psychedelic slow jam, "Fall Around." The two musicians immediately understood they had created something special, an evocative and original melding of oceanic rock with bottomless grooves and hypnotic dub textures. Just over one week later, EP1 was complete. Defined by Followill's liquid bass lines and Brown's soaring and expressive vocals, songs like "Road Side" and the closing "Safe Face" are both ingenious and accessible, their surprising soundscapes counterpointed by indelible melodies and haunting hooks. Smoke & Jackal's EP1 is the sound of two talented friends allowing their music to freely go places no one could have anticipated.
"It was all about tone and vibe and what felt right in that moment," Brown says. "Not second guessing, just having fun in that moment."
"Coming together just worked," says Followill. "I think it's because we took such an easy approach to it, we didn't bring any egos to it. We just talked about each other's ideas, neither one of us got our feelings hurt. It just worked."
EP1 was produced by Smoke & Jackal, and engineered by Nick Brown. All songs were written by Smoke & Jackal.

The Czech ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Petr Gandalovic, toured the devastated town of West, Texas to pay his condolences today with Governor Rick Perry.
West is a small town known for it's rich Czech heritage. The traditional kolaches sold at "Czech Stop" off the highway are seen by many passer-byes as a necessity when it comes to road trip snacks. The establishment served as an oasis a midst the tragedy, refusing to close its doors.
Martin Pizinger, spokesperson for Gandalovic, said the explosion has dominated headlines in the Czech Republic, and Gandalovic "would like to support the community in their time of sadness."
Gandalovic has visited West before to see Honorary Consul General to the Czech Republic, Raymond Snokhaus, who lives in West. This trip, Gandalovic is said to have toured part of the aftermath with Perry this afternoon. Radio Prague reported that the Czech Republic will be sending aid to the town.
"These people are still shattered," Gandalovic told the Wall Street Journal.
Sen. John Cornyn said that 60 people are still unaccounted for, and the fatality numbers continue to rise.
Snokhaus said the town's immigrant heritage instilled in the people a work ethic will help them rebuild.

What the Viewers of Smoke Swap had to say…
Smoke Smoke or Super Smoke Me as Current TV renamed it has now aired (It is still shown from time to time on Current.TV)
Posted below are a few comments and messages we received from viewers. We would like to thank you all for your messages of support.
We are still smoke free ex-smokers!!
There have been a lot of changes within the tobacco industry over the course of the Smoke Swap experiment and the life of this blog. And at the same time nothing has changed, the tobacco companies still agressively market their cancer sticks with beautiful promotional girls in shops and, clubs and bars in in the face of overwhelming evidence about the death and destruction they cause and public opinion.
There has been a ban from smoking in public areas for over two years now. There was a lot of noise at the time that it wouldn't work and a lot of BS flying around about defying the law to the end.
How silly and draconian that all seems now. How did we let them get away of polluting our air for so long?
This blog is now at an end but I will leave it up for anyone who drops by or finds it by accident and want to find out about anything from the history of the cigarette, to the harm tobocco causes farmers, their families and communities to the escalating death rate in Asia as the tobacco companies shift their focus to the new money.
I'll also revisit the site every once and a while to reply to your comments or post a blog. Otherwise I will post some resources here for anyone who needs a litle help and support trying to kick cigarettes and to ultimately stop smoking.
If you are trying to stop smoking I'm sure you can find lots of useful information here, thing you probably haven't heard anywhere before, certainly not coined in some of the phrases I've used.
I'm not a professional writer, never made a penny out of this blog. It's been a labour of love and a way to purge my soul from working in the tobacco industry.
My you live a clean and healthy life without cigarettes.
All the best,
Stop Smoking Inside Man.
Date: 04 Jul 2007
Hey well done for giving up the cancer sticks I have been fighting cigarettes for years as a personal trainer and have also seen how hard it is to give up so if you managed it in 14 days then you are a legend.
The video should have shown a bit more of your journey of giving up because it couldn't have been that easy.
And give your mate Perry a pat on the back he is a legend there is no way you could get me as a non-smoker to try smoking for a week it would kill me I have the lungs of a baby.
Anyway that's my rant over I hope your well looking good as always. London's good but bet your missing me harassing you at margarita's every Sunday. lol
I haven't been there for ages actually as I am not in Sutton anymore
Take care. Damaine x
Superking Me is ace!
Good work fella!
Paul Hodson – Virgin Media
Great work Perry- glad the smoking didn't become a habit for you- they say do anything for 21 days (positive or negative) and it becomes a habit- consciously or unconsciously- so glad you stopped soon. – Justin Ellis - Actor (LA)
I have been meaning to email you for the last couple of days. Listen, I saw
your film documentary about smoking on T.V. ( it was shown in 'Current TV'
Channel ) last weekend. It was on at around 12:30am – and yes, you do look
good on camera LOL! Well done dude, I thought that the camera zoom on your
vommit was classic !!! urghhhhhh! LOL!
Sionara baby! Surianne x Singer/Songwriter
Hello Katie
In regards to your recent experiment, I have a few critical comments to make, however your video was very good.
I've been smoking since 22 (stupid but that's what I do best) now I'm 25 and can honestly say with the smoking ban heavily inflicted in Jersey, it's made no such difference at all. It's actually worse because the smells you are picking up in clubs & clubs isn't too pleasant I.E. BO, sick (some cases) farting…SHOCKING BEHAVIOUR and bad, bad, bad aftershave.
So the ban came in on January 2nd over here so I decided to give up… I was sound didn't have one for a month but realised why am I giving up? as I enjoy it… in the time I was playing football I was shit when I wasn't smoking, didn't even feel any fitter… started smoking again and I actually picked up my game.
So my theory is… it's all mind games…yes it's bad for you but think how many times you go to work and get the tube? taking the tube to work every day for year is probably 10 times worse than smoking 15-20 a day for about 5 years… That's what I think.
I must add furthermore that smoking isn't for CHAVS missy. Don't you just miss when you are having a stunning meal and you are so full at the end… so you pick up a cigarette and it tastes so nice! BEST EVER isn't it?
Do you miss it, do you? You do don't you?
Only joking well done if you give up for good. Impressed after 10 years and it's easy for you.
With kindest regards, take care. Chris
Hey there Katie, I know am not a "real friend" but seen your bulletin on me page, an checked it out, also checked the Superking video, it's very well produced, proud of yah, hope you're keeping it up, well done. Levi x

WHAT is going on…. I've decided to stop smoking as of tomorrow I'm gutted its an end of a beautiful relationship with Mrs. Silk Cut Red, just been to my first pre-season training session. 6 mile run in boiling heat followed by 1 hour and half hours of beach work (doggies… sprints and a game) I'm really hoofed… Can't breath and I've fallen out of love with the nicotine, I never thought it would happen not after my rant to you the other day (however have four left so decided to honor them by forcing myself to smoke them.
I usually fall out with Charlie… sometimes we fall out big time but lately we've been getting on but Mrs. Silk Cut Red we were a match made in heaven.. not any more no… GONE!
BLAMING YOU hahaha
Is it easy to give up… are you using anything?
This is going to be hard isn't it?
Oh well… at least I will be able to breath again. No day, right night I feel like I'm on my death bed, was going to make a chilli con carnie tonight… fuck that I'll probably set my kitchen on fire.
Anyway…. wish I never seen your anti smoking video now
Hope you are still going strong. Chris

Hi Katie
Just watched the video. So were you using anything to help you quit (patches etc) or was it totally a cold turkey thing?
I would have been interested to see you take the test Perry did to see if having quit smoking, if and how quickly your CM level dropped. Mike
"Wow I love it! It's a cool idea and well executed!! Definitely deserves a green light. But I must admit, it still makes me want to go out and have a smoke… Anon
"Hi there, thought this was a really good video … Showing how much smoking does make you feel like crap yipee. By the way Katie looks gorgeous and loved the belly part in the mirror was very funny. x" Anon
"G/L – Nice to see someone trying to quit on will power alone, good job. I quit more than 10yrs ago when I discovered I was going to be a mom. I may have had the right to pollute my body, but not my babies temporary apartment. I quit cold turkey too." Anon
Hi katie.
I watched the video that you asked your friends to watch and I voted for it as well hope it gets shown on telly soon.
It was really interesting and well made. I thought you were a natural presenter it'll not be long 'til you get your big break on TV.
Also I'm glad you have given up smoking and hope you keep it up good luck. My mum gave up smoking last year, she was a smoker for 30 odd yrs. She found it tough but she managed it. She put on a little bit of weight but not 2 much, its probably 'cos she started eating lots of sweets whenever she felt the craving for a ciggie. I think as long as you stick to eating sugar free sweets and maybe have some fruit when you feel a craving for a cig.
My mam also took up painting as a hobby, which helped her a lot as it took her mind of the craving. So maybe you could take up a new hobby, like hangliding or rock climbing just kiddin'. Lol, maybe a less dangerous hobby.
Hope this is of some help cya later, take care. Eric x
Super Smoke Me is a film brilliant I loved it and I felt for you dude. I wouldn't of done it. Have you tried to hand it to channel 4 to see if they'll show it? I think it has a great chance to make it onto TV especially at the moment. Linton Ried
Wow I love it! It's a cool idea and well executed!! Definitely deserves a greenlight. But I must admit, it still makes me want to go out and have a smoke… Jensen
Hi there, I have recently decided to quit smoking and I found this pod very interesting.
nice production. Shane Chapman
Really liked this. A few of the freeze-frame bits were a bit long, but that's nothing major and it clearly wasn't an issue for Current as it's on air! Really good production, and a real eye-opener. Adam Hunt
As a recovering nicotine addict myself. I found this pod very interesting. Well put together and engaging. K Drew
Interesting and well made. Should make people think twice about starting smoking. Dippy
Great work documenting this issue. Your subjects made this piece extremely engaging. I also liked your titles and sepia tones on some of the footage. Hopemn
This is a very original concept, which was greatly executed. Congrats for taking it to TV so quickly, and for putting yourself through this experiment.
The production was well done overall, and the story had just the right pace to keep the viewer entertained throughout the entire piece. Pantazonia
Well Done Katie, I'm Impressed… You were always a terrible smoker anyway, Lol. Nick
It's a very well documented video, I think it will be very useful for smokers an non smokers to watch. Well done Katie. Levi
I think people should see this! GL Myself? Quit smoking 1 month ago. Smoker for 10 years. Will not start back. I can breath again. Within that 10 years, smoking gave me asthma and COPD! I am only 36 yo. Simplicity1971
Another great production from you here. Very informative and well put together. I totally agree with the other comment by SIMPLICITY1971, that this piece should have gotten more attention by now. Pantazonia
Hi Perry
I particularly enjoyed The Smoking Man video which was journalistically-credible and puts forward a well-researched / informative argument about the environmental dangers/implications of people putting their (cigarette) butts out on the street… this documentary is the kind that would fit into the niche of Trevor Mc Donald's news programmes.
I also watched SuperKing me and I realise that you are trying to show the physical effects of smoking for 2 weeks. However, I think that the film needed to be longer to show the progression of the cigarettes effects in more depth… however well done on it given the time restraints.
Siane xX

I pulled my copy of the 1910 History of Fayette County from the shelf and paged through it. As usual, I was looking at the pictures, and one of Arthur H. Wilson, looking straight into the cameras lens, made me pause.
He looked like an interesting fellow. And when I turned to the biography section of the book, I found that, yes, indeed, Arthur H. Wilson was a very interesting fellow.

Michael Burch Architects is excited to announce that they will co-curate a show on the Spanish Colonial Revival with the Riverside Art Museum. Research for the show will be funded by the Getty as part of their Pacific Standard Time: L.A./L.A. (Los Angeles/Latin America) initiative.
The exhibit will focus on the Spanish Colonial Revival in the Inland Empire. The Getty's description of the grant reads: "Spanish by way of colonial Mexico, the Spanish Colonial Revival style in architecture and design has been part of the aesthetic fabric of Southern California's Inland Empire for 100 years. While claiming ties between Southern California and Colonial Spain and Mexico via their cultural and design traditions, the style was based largely on myth and invention. Influenced by such diverse sources as the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and the popular Ramona novel and pageants, the New California elite adapted Spanish Colonial, Mission, ecclesiastical, and native elements to create romanticized perceptions of California for a burgeoning tourism industry. Landmarks such as Myron Hunt's First Congregational Church of Riverside (1912–1914) and the historic Mission Inn Hotel are amalgamations of the historic and the imagined. Even today the region's suburban housing and public infrastructure continue to use an eclectic mix of elements rooted in Spanish Colonial Revival design motifs. The exhibition will use architectural and archival materials, decorative arts, paintings, and photographs to explore the style's origins and continuing popularity." After its appearance at the Riverside Art Museum, the exhibit has been invited to travel to Yale University.
Michael Burch Architects is widely recognized for its expertise in historically accurate work in the Spanish Colonial/Mediterranean Revival style. Its guiding principle is "Returning to Authenticity," because the more modern versions of the Spanish style have "devolved into kitsch," said Michael Burch. The firm is creating exciting 21st century estates and houses in the traditional vernacular. The romance and drama of the firm's work, whether in new construction or renovations/additions, captures the imagination and was recently described by Aaron Betsky in ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE as "breathtaking in its sophistication and beauty." The firm is the first and only Southern California firm to have been awarded the prestigious Palladio Award for excellence in traditional architecture and has exhibited at both the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale and, most recently, at this year's 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Michael Burch has been a member of SAH since 2005.

I've seen a lot of advice for freelance programmers which advocates quoting your rates in periods of a minimum of one day. That means that when someone asks your rate, you would say "$500 per day" rather than giving the equivalent hourly rate.
If I agree to do 10 days of programming work for a client at a particular daily rate, how many hours are expected of me per day? What happens if I do 6 hours of actual programming on Monday and then do 8 on Tuesday.. is that two "days" or "1.75 eight hour days" or what?
What's the standard?

The infamous serial killer Ted Bundy had a residence in Utah, and it's still accessible (if you have the courage to get out of your car). It is located at approximately 115 Burr's Lane (Emigration Canyon Road) in Salt Lake City just past the Hogle Zoo (another sweet adventure!) and the large apartment buildings. The green gate marking the small dirt lane to his abandoned and vandalized house will be on your right side driving up the canyon. You can park right by it, but if you want to be a little bit more conspicuous but be close enough to run to your car when you see Ted, drive only a hundred feet past it and park next to a monument on the right side. I didn't see any "No Trespassing!!" signs located at the gate or in the area. Once you walk around the gate, you can stroll down the little lane, over a creek, until you reach an opening with his small house and cellar (west of the house). While I have attempted this many times with friends, I've never been able to reach this point in the dark, so I explored the area in the light of day. His old residence is littered with graffiti and broken items (including a toilet). On the right side of the house is the cellar (where he probably did, and still does, store his victims' bodies) with a hole busted in the door allowing only the most daring of individuals inside. From here, I will let you explore the unknown. WARNING: You may not get very far with the light-hearted girls. Map to Ted Bundy's House.
EDIT: The house has been demolished, but the cellar is still located to the right of the house foundation.
