Octolog I – The Politics of Historiography. Rhetoric Review, Autumn 1989.
This is a long, fascinating collection of claims and counterclaims; as such, I'll be note-taking this reading through quotes, aphorisms, and response. Here we go!
- James Berlin: "This historian of rhetoric must deny pretensions to objectivity, looking upon the production of histories as a dialectical interaction between the set of conceptions (the terministic screen) brought to the materials of history and the materials themselves." Rhetoric should be situated in its own context (context broadly defined here as economic, social, political, etc.) and should be taken up historiographically as a heuristic to understand the present (11, 12). Jarratt says something similar about the reason why folks are doing historiography (26).
- Why is composition so political? Because, as Conners says, our discipline was created to solve a social problem, not as the evolution of a body of autonomous knowledge. Therefore, we must always take sides in everything we write! Our disciplinary history is based in struggle.
- The role of historiography is to inform our pedagogical practice by revealing previous historical practices to illuminate contemporary pedagogies; however, C. is afraid of reification (Crowley). History is consumed based on the historians ethos (21)
- For Enos, the process of historiography is an exercise of cultivating paideia or refining intellectual standards. For E., the point is to determine the admissibility of the proof, openness to accept new sources of evidence. From here, the cultivation of the paideia impacts the synthesis of new historical phenomena in academic scholarship (14). To find new evidence, Enos recommends some "dirtying of hands" in primary research.
- This historian is imbricated in the process of historiography (19) and makes the writing of history a rhetorical act.
- Vitanza uses dissoi logoi in his response on 20. He also invokes D&G's notion of nomadology to describe the writing of historiographic texts. We are a meta-discipline, 2500 years old! (31)
- Connors poses the question: What is the balance we try to strike between inductive research and deductive research, the degree to which we dance around closure about issues before we start to let our closure on those issues affect the research paths we take? (25). As a complication, Crowley adds the issue of motives to research, calling attention to the possibly false binary between deductive and inductive (therefore, the political).
Octalog II – The (Continuing) Politics of Historiography
- Two framing questions from Atwill: 1) How does submitting to the conventions of other disciplines affect exemplar status of a text in one's "home" field? Second, does that submission obviate the critique that I have believed is embodied, literally, in reading canonical texts as a woman/mother/teacher/citizen? (24).
- Primary materials should ground our work in historiography and technology should be used to increase the efficacy of research (Ferriera-Buckley).
- Lauer notes that, "Although our theory privileges multiple voices and heteroglossia, some stories of our field merely name drop and critique, setting up straw persons against which to authorize their own accounts instead of representing another's work in its own time and exigencies and acknowledging its contribution" (31).
- Mountford's contribution argues for the development of fieldwork/ethnography to accompany rhetorical analysis/textual analysis; futher, she also points to the importance of working across and outside rhetorical studies (especially with cultural studies) to develop new studies of rhetoric.
- Schiappa notes that historiography is "a thoroughly rhetorical enterprise and can be evaluated with the traditional tools of rhetorical criticis" (36). He also notes that while we view history as subjective, some subjective creations have more weight than others; hence, the "intersubjective act of persuasion" is the key element in determining why one particular historiographic narrative prevails over another (37).
- Kathleen Welch argues for the 1) historicizing of television as a dominant communication technology that has been a radical transformer of rhetoric, writing, and literacy; and 2) the acknowledgment of gender constructions in historicizing all literacy technologies."
Octalog III – The Politics of Historiography in 2010
- The eight contributors in this octolog ask scholars and researchers in the field to consider "our own dispositions and epistemologies" in shaping our perceptions of the past and also force us to consider new methodologies and new sites of inquiry.
- Dolmage: "I see rhetorical history as the study not of just a selected archive of static documents or artifacts, but a study also, always of the negotiations, valences, shifting claims and refutations, canons and revisions that orbit any history" (7). It's not about choosing one version of history; rather, it is about interrogating the intetrestedness of each version.
- Enoch identifies two ways that rhetoric has been "regendered" since Glenn's talk at Octalog II: 1) recover work of female rhetors from numerous (classed, raced, cultured) backgrounds; and 2) rereading the historical traditions of rhetoric through the lends of gender to discover how particular rhetorics gained import while others were dismissed. She also defines "spatial rhetorics" as "the discursive and material means used to engender spaces with value."
- Mao raises some interesting points concerning the study of global rhetorics: 1) What practices in other rhetorical traditions should we focus on? How does our own subject position affect our choice of object to study? How do we engage rhetorical practices of other cultures without ethnocentrism or ethnic biases? As a response, Mao offers 'recontextualization' or the critical reevaluation of self and other when unpacking local political, economic, and socio-cultural exigencies that undergird particular rhetorical performances.
- Malea Powell draws attention to the fact that when we talk about race in the discipline, we are often characterized as not talking about rhetoric – or at least not the kind of rhetoric used to teach composition or to develop theoretical frames.
- Citron on the "bootstraps" narrative: "The politics of social uplift, otherwise known as 'empowerment,' is at the core of neoliberalism, for neoliberalism can justify a disinvestment from the public sector once everyone becomes her own entrepreneur." Citron advocates a turn toward urban theory, economics, social theory and political economy to attend to the materiality of embodied rhetorics.

Every bride wants to look and feel their best as they walk down the aisle. The truth is, you're going to look great, regardless. With that said, just the mention of a wedding dress may trigger thoughts of weight loss and/or getting toned. If this is you, then you're in luck because we've written this post with you in mind.
It is recommended that you should choose a workout routine and eat healthier at least 8 to 12 weeks prior to your wedding day. This allows you enough time to make a noticeable change in your physical appearance. The earlier you start, the better the results.
4. What Does A Good Wedding Workout Include?
If your goal is body transformation, then you'll need to have a workout program that consists of both cardiovascular routines coupled with strength training. Cardiovascular routines include aerobic exercises that are known to burn fat, prevent stress, and interrupt anxiety. The strength training will focus more on toning and shaping your muscles as well as increasing your metabolism rate so that you burn more calories while working out.
If you go for big motion exercises, it burns more calories. Opt for routines like squats, pushups, bench presses, press or lunge walking, etc. It is always better to enroll yourself in a fitness program for optimal fitness results. Incorporating interval training in your cardio workouts will give you surprising results. The intervals must last for at least 20 minutes to half an hour. It is recommended that brides go for cardio routines only after strength training as not to tire out so quickly.
Are you curious as to how often and for how long you should work out? Well, it depends, but usually 3 – 5 days of cardio along with 3 days of strength training, for at least half an hour, is good enough to bring changes in your body within two months.
3. Most People Look Like What They Eat
We're all familiar with the notion you are what you eat, right? If your aim is wedding weight loss, diet and nutrition must factor into the equation. In fact, what you put into your body i.e. what you eat, takes precedence over your workout routine. You need to eliminate the high sugar content and processed food items from your diet. The aforementioned items typically contain loads of useless calories. To learn more about the benefits of reducing and/or eliminating processed foods that are high in sugar content, refer to this blog post. For effective and sustained weight loss, eating fruits, vegetables and less carbohydrate laden food are strongly encouraged.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Whether you chose and exercise plan, diet modification or both, staying hydrated is essential. Our bodies are composed of approximately 60% water and water is the most essential nutrient for our bodies. Water has no calories, reduces hunger/cravings, and raises your metabolism; all factors which promote weight loss.
Be sure to drink water before and during your workout. If you're not properly hydrated, your body won't perform at an optimal level and you may experience muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, or more severe symptoms. Additional benefits of drinking water are detailed in a separate blog post which can be found, here.
So, you say you're not a big fan of drinking plain water? Healthy Alternatives may include: plain or sparkling water infused with fresh fruit, vegetables and/or herbs; fresh juices; iced teas (decaf is best); and coconut water.
1. You've Got This
It is important to keep in mind that you should not obsess about losing weight before your big day. Be mindful of what you put into your body, workout in a way that best suits your schedule/ lifestyle, get plenty of rest, and appreciate this wonderful journey. The person who awaits you at the opposite end of the aisle, loves you, unconditionally. When you think about it, what can be better than that?
Do you have any tips that will help others achieve weight loss for their walk down the aisle? Sound off below!

The prairie seems to roll on forever, holding only its own peace. The cowboy, alone with his horse, rides across the flat plane possessing nothing but himself and his gun. The film Shane, based upon the novel written by Jack Schaeffer, tells the story of just such a lonely drifter, the title character being a gunfighter. With no last name, no past, his horse and his six-shooter gun, he drifts into a tiny settlement in Wyoming inhabited by a small group of farmers and their enemies, the big cattle barons. Actually, Shane is about a larger issue, a very American one; it is about the struggle between the community, Ryker's men, and the individual, Shane. Even when the "land of the free" was first settled, America was governed by a majority, yet it promised freedom for all. However, not all Americans felt that they had their promised total freedom.
Communities are groups of people which all work together for themselves. There can be two types of communities, good communities can help prosper one another and can be benefiting to all. Bad communities are those in which trouble is started and continues until the match has been met. These two groups, (or communities), are both found in Shane. The first is the settlers, or the farmers who work for their land and everything they own, the minority. The second group is Ryker's men, the majority. These men take matters into their own hands. They are fighters and spend most of their time in the saloon. Shane is the loner, the sole individual. He is a single man who rides through the open plain searching for somethinghimself, for his place in this world. When he rides onto Joe and Marion Start's land, he gives them the impression that he is a gunfighter and is therefore asked to leave their property. When Ryker's men then show up, Shane comes back and defends Start. This tells us that even though Shane and Joe Start are strangers, Shane is willing to help out a fellow American who is trying to do the right thing. To Shane, it was only right to help out these people who seemed to have a problem with this group of men.
Joe Start is a good example of a leader, one who pushes for what is right and helps encourage his fellow farmers. He reassures the other farmers that things will improve, and he almost begs them to stay on their own land, to defend themselves and their homes. Even after Ryker sets one man's home on fire, Start keeps asking his friend to stay, and tells him that "all of us [farmers] will help build your house back, even better than it was before. I'll get the lumber, and we'll build it back up." The man agrees and they all work together to put out the fire. The other farmers who are a part of this community come together to discuss a way to defend themselves. They stay together and are willing to help each other out in any possible way. Even Shane, the unknown individual who rode into this conflicting settlement, is willing to help these people.
Shane is, to the Starts, a good friend, an honest person, and a strong worker. The trust held by these people is true, and they believe that there is mostly good in all people. Even with Ryker's men, all the farmers are wanting is a little understanding from them, Ryker is not very reasonable to the farmers and this creates even more problems. This struggle is between Ryker's men, and the people who are stopping them from getting what they want, the farmers. Ryker wants their land, and he will stop at nothing to acquire that. Each time the farmers refuse to give up their property, Ryker and his men find a way to destroy the homeland. These men open their fences for the farmer's own cattle to trample their gardens, they ride through their crops, and make the farmers feel belittled and useless. The quest for the ownership, though, is somewhat deeper. Ryker, in his younger days, was a cattle baron. He and the men he had been with at that time had "founded the land, and had worked to prepare it for the farmers that were to come." Ryker never understands that the land is not his anymore, and that the farmers have now claimed it for themselves. Ryker continues to confront Joe Start about his land and asks him to come and work for him. Still, Start refuses to leave. The power that Ryker seems to have over the settlers is unbearable. Nothing can be done to punish him, so he and his men continue to destroy the farmer's land and their possessions. Shane continues to fight for the farmers' and after the first fight in the saloon when Ryker realizes that his men are no match for Shane, he calls in one of the best gunfighters from Cheyenne, a man named Wilson.
Shane and Wilson have a conflict of their own. They are the individuals, the lone gunfighters fighting for themselves. Yet with this reason Shane is different; he fights for others, his friends, and he defends them. Shane and Wilson almost represent the good and evil of this world, or in other words, Jesus and Satan. Shane is dressed in old, dusty, worn clothes. His taste is plain and his life is simple. He has a pleasant attitude and is fairly quiet when he is first introduced. He always wants to help people and has motivation to help where he is needed. He does not want any trouble, yet he will fight for what he believes in. Wilson, however, is feared by all, even by Ryker's men. He is nicely dressed in black attire and always carries his gun. He is quiet, yet his attitude is deceiving. Wilson has a reputation as being swift and for being the fastest gun man in the west.
The idea that an individual can change a community seems sometimes unlikely. In this story, the single individual is strong enough and has the will to fight
off the evil to help save the settlement from destruction. These communities at times can be weak, but with will and help from each other, they can protect themselves and what they cherish. In this story, the farmers, along with shane, come together to fight for their own freedom, even though they would rather not fight. They are willing to do whatever it takes to defend themselfves. All they want is peaceful land and the comfort of safety. However, the individual does not help these people just to be recognized as the "hero". Therefore he leaves quietly, and unnoticed, such as Shane does, as he rides off into the sunset when his business is finished.

This part will describe five more concrete actions that any CRE firm can to reduce its exposure and guard against the potentially disastrous consequences of a cybersecurity incident. These risks can lead to potentially enormous legal and financial exposure for CRE firms: according to the 2016 version of an oft-quoted annual study conducted by the Ponemon Institute LLC and sponsored by IBM, the average total cost of a data breach for companies in the United States is currently $7.01 million. These incidents show that CRE companies should exercise caution when implementing connected building systems.
Key Takeaways:
- CRE firms need to be more aware of cybersecurity and data-risk than ever before due to increases in use of electronic data.
- Cybersecurity breaches and risks can lead to enormous fines and legal exposure.
- There are 10 solid steps any CRE firm can take to mitigate the risk although it is never completely eradicated.
"Data breaches like those experienced by Essex Property Trust and Fidelity National Financial confirm that the CRE sector is not immune from the dangers posed by cyber criminals seeking to steal personally identifiable information ("PII")."

The Challenge
I wouldn't usually regard October as a particularly challenging month. Compared to January's blinding heat, April's chocolate and tinfoil overload, August's exam period and December's family Christmas stresses, October's usually pretty un-challenging, if I'm honest. A nice month: fairly warm, fairly normal, fairly average.
But this October is different. This October is challenging.
Why? Because this October, the Mozo team have set me the challenge of participating in Buy Nothing New Month. It is, I'm afraid, exactly what it sounds like: a whole month of buying absolutely nothing that is new (aside from the obvious new necessities like food, hygiene products and medicine.)
Instead of purchasing new things, buy-nothing-newers are encouraged to barter, beg, swap and shop for secondhand goods. We're talking Vinnies instead of Sportsgirl, a friend's CD collection instead of JB Hi-Fi and super-glueing the soles of those shoes back together instead of forking out for an entirely new pair.
Yeah, I'm worried.
The Movement
The Buy Nothing New Month movement started in Melbourne back in the ye olde days of 2010, and has since spread internationally, taking off in the Netherlands. Participants like me aim to raise awareness of humanity's wastefulness, reduce consumption, promote recycling and reuse and save some dollars along the way.
After whopping great success in October 2011, Buy Nothing New Month is back this October, with more than 20 000 people around the country expecting to take part.
The Guinea Pig
As part of my involvement in Buy Nothing New Month, I'll be writing regular blog posts to keep all you Mozonians updated on my struggles, triumphs and general musings.
My challenging October begins now! Time to save some serious cash, take steps towards saving the environment, and get savvy about spending and consumption. Wish me luck!

LaLa is an adorable friendly girl
Looking for a loving forever home
LaLa has been at our shelter since a puppy. She is small size at just 12 kgs in weight. She is good with other dogs and friendly with the regular people she knows but will be shy in a new situation. So she'll need a calm, understanding owner that will give her time to adjust to home life after her whole life in kennels. She will need all her basic training. If you have the time to give LaLa please do put in an application for her. She'll need somebody to be at home a lot and will need a home with a confident resident dog. Currently in Romania. Some dogs are already in the UK Dogs that are in Romania, will be transported to the UK by Sadies Stray Dog Rescue.

FORMER defence secretary John Reid has warned UK warships will not be built in an independent Scotland.
His comments come after defence giant BAE Systems announced 1775 jobs will go in the UK.
Reid's warning has been strongly rebuffed by the SNP who say Clyde shipyards could still build the ships.
Shipbuilding will end at Portsmouth in the second half of next year and hundreds of jobs will be lost at the Govan and Scotstoun yards in Glasgow as well as Rosyth in Fife. But work on the new Type 26 vessels is earmarked for the Glasgow yards, giving workers there a vital lifeline.
UK Government ministers have hinted this work could go elsewhere if people in Scotland vote Yes to independence next September.
Lord Reid said: "The wider lesson from the last few days is that the only way to secure the future of Scotland's shipyards is to remain in the UK.
"This is not a matter of political opinion, it is a matter of fact.
"It is a fact that since the Second World War, no UK Government of any political stripe has ever commissioned the building of a warship in a foreign country."
But Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The simple fact is that the decision to close Portsmouth will leave the Clyde as the only place on these shores with the capacity to build naval surface ships – and that decision is testament to the world-class skills of the workers at the Clyde yards."

For Therapy & Function
Monday, April 2, 2012
I've been planning this tattoo for a couple of years and finally got it a couple of weeks ago. It is in memory of my father-in-law who passed away about five years ago in a motorcycle accident. The chess piece is because the first time I spent quality time with him was when he taught me how to play chess - I was sixteen and my husband (then boyfriend) was away at either basic training or tech school. The Knight is because that's what he was to me. He was the only person I called "Dad" by choice and the only person I ever felt filled that role for me. He was also the only person I've ever had a close relationship with who I can say with no hesitation never hurt me. Maybe if he had lived, he would have one day. But I don't think so. He surely wasn't perfect - nobody is perfect. But in my life, in my experiences - he was as close as they got. He knew who I was and what I was like. He knew the things that were wrong with me and he never thought that that's what it was - something wrong. That I needed fixing in that sort of sense.
I came from a family that is filled with hateful, selfish, cruel, abusive, petty and just generally unlikable people. And they live. I've never heard of anyone disliking my father-in-law. Not in the sense that he passed away and everyone said nice things about him - that sort of thing always happens. Even when he was alive everyone liked the person he was. These parts of life I cannot come to terms with. These kinds of accidents I do not understand.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. home builder Persimmon PSN, +3.46% said Tuesday that the first six months of the year had been the most challenging period in its recent history, with legal completions down 31% to 5,501 and total sales revenue down 34% to 1 billion pounds ($1.98 billion). The group said it's taken further steps to cut costs which will result in the loss of around 1,100 staff in total since the start of the year. The group said its underlying operating margin for the first half will be around 14%, compared to 20.8% a year earlier and added forward sales are down 30% to 650 million pounds. The home builder noted, however, that it doesn't expect to take any significant write-down of its land values when it announces interim results in August.

i want one!
I had a dream about the iPhone last night.
it was BORING. even my dreams are boring.
i dreamt about a car bomb in london
and dawn would never break
Absolutely - never buy first gen of anything
unless have more money than sense...
BUT - how exciting that it's going to be available to us ALL very soon...
Sort of
ipod first gen was the most reliable one, no?
so it will be available to the masses and people like you and me
in about 2.5 years.
I can handle that.
exactly. me too.
oh things to look forward to.
Led Zepp tour..
it lacks 3 advanced features that competing phones have... and you can't download MP3s on the fly (surely what an apple iphone should do) unlike... say... a motorola PDA phone.
And it's selling points appear to be:-
- Pretty
- Apple branding
- Non-touch-touchscreen boringness
apple can kiss my balls
they're abusing their market position by claiming to be innovators all the time even when they aren't

IT raids on K'taka Min. Shivakumar 'almost over'
| Updated: Aug 05, 2017 03:01 IST
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 4 (ANI): The Income Tax (IT) raids have almost concluded at Energy Minister DK Shivakumar premises, ongoing since Wednesday. The three day raid and surveys by the IT Department covered at least 64 properties of Energy Minister DK Shivakumar, sources state. Out of the sixty premises, thirty nine premises were raided. During the raids IT Department recovered 11.28 crore of cash, jewelry worth Rs. 4.5 crore from DK Shivakumar's premises. The sources also say that several incriminating documents were said to be found and are suspected to undisclosed income generated out of different kind of manipulation. Earlier on Wednesday IT officials raided Shivakumar's residence and at a private resort in Bengaluru where 42 Congress lawmakers from Gujarat are staying. After the Congress branded the raids as a 'political witch-hunt' by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the IT department asserted that the raids at Karnataka Energy Minister's residence and resort had nothing to do with the Gujarat's Congress MLAs staying at the resort. "The search under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act is an evidence gathering exercise which is being carried in compliance with all statutory requirements. The search is the continuation of an investigation which has been in progress for a considerable period of time," a press release by Directorate General of Income-tax (Investment), Bangalore said. A press release claimed that the timing of the search was decided well in advance. The events involving certain MLAs of another state being brought to Karnataka were unforeseen and unpredictable events. Income Tax Department conducted searches at 39 locations related to Shivakumar.

Wrigley Field: The Long Life and Contentious Times of the Friendly Confines
ISBN: 022613427X University of Chicago Press. 2014
In spring 1914, a new ballpark opened in Chicago. Hastily constructed after epic political maneuvering around Chicago's and organized baseball's hierarchies, the new Weeghman Park (named after its builder, fast-food magnate Charley Weeghman) was home to the Federal League's Chicago Whales. The park would soon be known as Wrigley Field, one of the most emblematic and controversial baseball stadiums in America.
InWrigley Field: The Long Life and Contentious Times of the Friendly Confines,Stuart Shea provides a detailed and fascinating chronicle of this living historic landmark. The colorful history revealed inWrigley Fieldshows how the stadium has evolved through the years to meet the shifting priorities of its owners and changing demands of its fans. While Wrigley Field today seems irreplaceable, we learn that from game one it has been the subject of endless debates over its future, its design, and its place in the neighborhood it calls home. To some, it is a hallowed piece of baseball history to others, an icon of mismanagement and ineptitude. Shea deftly navigates the highs and lows, breaking through myths and rumors. And with another transformation imminent, he brings readers up to date on negotiations, giving much-needed historical context to the maneuvering.
Wrigley Fieldis packed with facts, stories, and surprises that will captivate even the most fair-weather fan. From dollar signs (the Ricketts family paid $900 million for the team and stadium in 2009), to exploding hot dog carts (the Cubs lost that game 6–5), to the name of Billy Sianis's curse-inducing goat (Sonovia), Shea uncovers the heart of the stadium's history. As the park celebrates its centennial, Wrigley Field continues to prove that its colorful and dramatic history is more interesting than any of its mythology.

Vampire Flick Just Sucked Money, Lender Says
LOS ANGELES (CN) – A lender claims in Superior Court that the producer-directors of "Transylmania" aka "Dorm Daze III" owe it more than $21 million, for one of the worst movies ever made.
Third Eye Capital Corp., as agent for the lender, Strative Capital Ltd., sued the borrower, Hill & Brand Productions 7 LLC, and a slew of others, alleging breach of contract, fraud and negligent misrepresentation.
Most of the plaintiffs' ire is directed at the producer-directors, defendants Scott Hillenbrand and David Hillenbrand.
"While Hollywood is no stranger to wrongdoing, the bold fraud perpetrated by the defendants and described in this complaint is staggering," the complaint begins.
The complaint calls the film, released nationwide on Dec. 4, 2009, "one of the greatest box office flops of all time."
Third Eye claims that Strative Capital loaned the moviemakers an initial $11.7 million, with an option on another $2 million, based on the defendants' claims of full disclosure and predictions of success. A second agreement called for another $6 million loan, according to the complaint. From July 15 to Dec. 31, 2009, Strative says, it loaned the defendants a total of $21,745,000.
However, the complaint states: "Much more creative than the film was the fraudulent scheme perpetrated by the Hillenbrands and their 'team' to obtain the financing to release the film. Lender provided the financing to support the domestic theatrical release of the film. This is referred to in the movie business as prints and advertising, or P & A, financing. Ultimately, a significant portion of the P & A financing ended up in the hands of the Hillenbrands and members of their 'team' that aided their fraudulent plan. This was no accident.
"The Hillenbrands claim to have spent $5 million producing the film in 2007. The evidence reveals that the Hillenbrands were unable to find theatrical distribution for the film. While this is the unfortunate result for many film producers, the Hillenbrands refused to accept the market's rejection of the film. Instead, they formed their own distribution company and re-branded the film a 'Vampire Spoof' based on the popular 'Twilight' franchise and HBO's True Blood. Unfortunately, the film had no relation to 'Twilight' or 'True Blood.' As one reviewer noted, the film was not even a spoof. As the Boston Globe stated, Transylmania is just 'a very bad film.'"
The complaint adds: "Starting on or around June 2009, defendants David and Scott Hillenbrand solicited lender to finance print and advertising costs associated with the domestic theatrical release of the film 'Transylmania' aka 'Dorm Daze 3.' The Hillenbrands provided written materials as part of the initial solicitation. …
"The Hillenbrands presented three potential budgets for the P & A Financing-$8.5, $10.5 and $12 million. The Hillenbrands represented that they had prepared the budgets based on consultation with a host of experienced media executives and also by conducting an exhaustive amount of due diligence analyzing similar films and their releases over the last five years. The Hillenbrands stated that they were comfortable with all three budgets and had created a 'budget for what [they] really believe [they] need to be most effective – and no more.' The Hillenbrands represented that they could attract the audience necessary 10 repay the P & A Financing with any of these three budgets." (Brackets in complaint.)
Strative claims the movie opened on 1,007 screens on Dec. 4, 2009, earning an average of $262 per screen, "the worst performance ever recorded for a wide release by Box Office Mojo, which began recording figures in the late 1970s."
The abysmal reviews showed why, Strative says.
"On December 23, 2009, after the film's catastrophic release at the box office, lender notified the Hillenbrands and borrower that the loan was in default due to the material adverse change in the borrower's financial standing due to the film's performance," the complaint states. "Lender made demand on borrower to pay the debt in full. Borrower insisted the loan was not in default. The Hillenbrands refused to take responsibility for the film's dismal performance. As the film critics pointed out, the content, the acting and the script were all beyond redemption. Rather than accept that reality, the Hillenbrands attempted to blame lender for the failure. The Hillenbrands alleged that the film would have succeeded but for the lender's failure to provide additional P & A funds in a timely manner. There is no merit to these wild accusations."
Strative and Third Eye claim: "Of the $18.7 million in loan proceeds advanced by lender, at least $600,000 went directly to the Hillenbrands or Hillenbrand-owned entities. Nearly $200,000 was disbursed to third parties for non-P & A costs. Further, the Hillenbrands could not account for an additional $75,000 in expenditures, Lastly, the investigation uncovered that Full Circle had substantially exceeded the budgeted marketing plan-by almost 800 percent in one category, and over 200 percent in several others.
"Thereafter, in the latter part of 2010, lender investigated other representations the Hillenbrands had made about their library titles, the film, and various other factors, Ultimately, lender learned that the film was not a 'vampire spoof' poking fun at 'Twilight' or 'True Blood.' Despite all of the representations provided to the contrary, the film had nothing to do with 'Twilight' or 'True Blood.' As such, all of the projections and financial analyses regarding 'Twilight' and past spoof films were pointless."
Also named as defendants are Hill & Brand Entertainment LLC, Full Circle Releasing LLC, Larry Gleason, Steve Rockabrand, Joseph Craig, Gary Faber, Entertainment Researching and Marketing, Paul Westphal, and Westphal Advisory Service.
Third Eye seeks compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.
It is represented by Ronald Sittler with Blank Rome.
An attorney for the Hillenbrands called the lawsuit "completely meritless."
"The plaintiffs saw the finished film numerous times before they chose to invest," Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp attorney Kim Swartz said in a statement. "In any event, David and Scott Hillenbrand, and their team of top professionals did everything they could to try to get their investors a return on their investment, even to the Hillenbrands' own financial detriment, and as stated in the complaint, in spite of the plaintiffs' failure to provide the agreed-upon P&A funds in a timely manner. The Hillenbrands look forward to having the plaintiffs' completely meritless claims dismissed and to prosecuting their own claims."

So you've decided to venture into the world of design because you LOVE DESIGN!
You probably started out loving art first and was a known artistic person in your gang of friends? Now you are thinking about entering design university to work towards your creative future. Here are my 10 tips to help you get through it the meaningful and good way!
My story, I grew up loving art! Drawing drawing all day long!
I dreamed of becoming a cartoonist! I painted a lot and was known as the little "artist" in my primary and middle school. The "art girl".
So I knew pretty much my entire life I will be getting into the creative world.
What steered me in the direction of "communication design" however was that I have always believed and came to realize that I am a thinker. I think a lot and I am always asking questions, wether it be about the way people see design or about what a piece of artwork means.
So I ventured into the world of Communication Design.
What is communication design?
[I get asked this a lot]
Communication Design is what "I would say" the subject you choose
if your aim is to become an Art Director.
if your aim is to become an Art Director.
Communication Design is not just about beautiful graphically pleasing imagery and execution of a project. It is strategic planning and choosing the best option for your client. It is very very business based. You are like Graphic Designer, Business thinker, creative director and artist in one. Which is what Art Directors should be.
When you get into the world of design you need to understand it is no longer "art". The design world is stricter and less "free" so I hope these tips will make life easier for you. It's essentially a mindset you need to have. Tips I learnt and I wish I'd learnt sooner :) I present to you!
Mostly applying to Communication Design but I think it can work for all Design fields.
You have got to be self motivated and self driven! Design is not only about reading up on knowledge, it's not just about intellectual materials, those are tools you need! but essentially you need that energy!
You have to be passionate, excited and pumped about creating! You have to be excited when you learn about new design techniques, analyzing problems and staying up all night to finish off a project a day before its due date!
You must inspire yourself!
Not a single teacher on campus can give you creativity! Creativity is created when you are inspired by things around you! You are hungry to learn and you just frk'n want to bring something new and fresh into this world! Essentially how you do this is- What changes and what kind of impact do you want to bring to this world? THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS. "how do I combine design and something I love in one! Then go for it!"
This means, don't just design cause it "looks good" cause you have the skills to do so, but do more than that! Raise the depth! Try to find a cause you truly love and design for it! The awesome thing about studying design is as long as you fulfill your brief you are good! So why don't you pick something that you truly care about and design it like how you would present it to "the actual clients"?
Having that "goal" makes everything different! Trust me you get wayyy more excited and it won't just be a "university project" It's a project that has a true purpose!
Hard work is needed in all fields of education and life! However you gots to know how to have fun and socialize! Socializing doesn't mean being fake and trying to know EVERYONE! But attend some cool events! Like Design Expos and join creative groups! This is so important and vital for your future career! Remember the Design world is not as big as you think it is. People know people and the sooner you get the picture the more chances you'll have to work and collaborate with other cool artists.
Everyone has to start from some place, even the most famous designers today started out as students and freelancers! Know the people in your field ;) It will do you good!
ps. my gots to know is not a typo. I like saying gots to know :P
I know, you got that huge art ego. However Design is not "art" it is design. Design serves a purpose "solves a problem" so if you LOVE your design but your peers and teacher tells you "I don't get it, or this shape is a problem" then you have to take it in. Critique is a huge part of your studies, you have to learn to differentiate constructive criticism to rudeness. [It's hard sometimes but it's a skill]. If people are being rude you can speak back politely but if it's constructive criticism then write it down! It will help you I promise!!! :)
If you don't know something it's ok! Too many people put on this fake mode. Just watch Project Runway you will know what I mean. They show this "I'm a designer face". Look everyone on campus is here to learn. Be genuine and authentic, design truthfully, treat people authentic and you will have awesome team mates to work with. The sooner you let go of that mask the better you will feel. Also don't follow the crowd. This is not high school, you are here as a young designer to learn and to give others good feedback so they can learn too.
Learning to give constructive criticism is much like letting go of ego, and taking criticism. It is a skill you must master. Learning to speak about the work and not about the person makes life much easier. You will have to give critique about friends works throughout your life if you choose to work in design field, you need to learn how to do it. In your mind put your friend on one corner and his/her work on the other. Then speak about the work. Don't be afraid about what he/she might think in class because he/she needs to learn to let go of their ego too. As long as you are constructive, you will sound professional and essentially you just want to give good feedback so that the other person can learn something. This is a important skill that many bosses want in their studio.
Before I studied comm design I was definitely not as well planned as I am now.
Depending on your uni you may or may not have 4 subjects a semester. I had four main subjects and 4 projects in each. That's quite a bit to juggle (I know some friends who had even more!). At first I found it slightly overwhelming because if you don't complete the design you don't pass. Depending on the direction you have chosen for your design, it may take weeks to complete or just 1 week. Some materials are harder to come across, so searching online and planning out your routine is important. At least you have to map out in your head roughly how long a project will take you and which shops you need to visit, which printers you want to print at. A well printed design aka poster, package etc makes the biggest difference! SO PLAN AHEAD!
Know your area, know where the paper shop is, know the printers around you, know where they stock the most materials and learn to use the right materials for your subject! Pencil, markers, etc. Know your tools! This also includes softwares! You have to know the master suite pretty well! The scanner could very well be your best friend! LOL and oh learn to use your library! There are so many good books available and magazines!!! People rely too much on the internet and all the sources you bring into class are the same ones. Try to bring fresh research materials to class.
ps. Your educator is also a tool. Know your teachers and their strengths! Ask them lots of questions. You already paid the fees, might as well get the most out of it all ;)
ps. Your educator is also a tool. Know your teachers and their strengths! Ask them lots of questions. You already paid the fees, might as well get the most out of it all ;)
Remember to eat food, I am so guilty of this. Sometimes I even forgot to eat because I was working!
Then I felt soooo famished. Always have some healthy snacks around your table because you will be snacking so much in the middle of the night when you are deprived of sleep but needing to finish that final project! Don't forget to sneak in an episode or two of something really fun like "True blood, South Park, Game of Thrones (OF COURSE) or another cool series! Mini ones so you can get back to work snappy fast! Enjoy the company of your friends, design together! Collaborate and visit music festivals! Things that will ignite the energy! MUSIC~
lastly. CLEAN UP!
Do not live in that pile of grossness for too long! Open up the windows,
go do your laundry so you have fresh smelling clothes and bedsheets!
Cleaning up can be very therapeutic. Really!
I hope your design university experience is an amazing one! :)

Ryan Parker | The Hollywood Reporter
The stuntwoman who died Monday on the set of Deadpool 2 has been identified as SJ Harris, the Coroner's Service of British Columbia told The Hollywood Reporter. She was 40.
Harris was killed during a motorcycle stunt gone wrong in Vancouver. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation.
Witnesses told local reporters Harris did the stunt perfectly four times, but on the fifth go, something went wrong. She was thrown into the ground-level plate glass of a building.
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds said the entire cast and crew were devastated by the death.
"Today, we tragically lost a member of the crew while filming Deadpool. We're heartbroken, devastated…but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world," Reynolds said.
Harris, a New York native, was the first African-American female professional road racer, according to a 2015 profile in Black Girls Ride magazine.
"I am everything people never saw in this sport," Harris said in the interview. "Sisters on the track are few and far in between. I want to show them that there's more for them to be exposed to. I want to get kids interested through experience."
Harris' death is being investigated by multiple agencies, including SAG-AFTRA and WorkSafeBC.
"We are all grieving the tragic death of a stunt performer on the Deadpool 2 set today," SAG-AFTRA said in a statement. "Our hearts and prayers are with her family, friends and fellow cast and crew members. The safety of our members and other production professionals on set is a core concern and top priority for SAG-AFTRA."
Josh Brolin, who stars in Deadpool 2 as Cable, said he did not personally know Harris, but was nonetheless devastated by her passing.
"We are mourning the death of a beautiful woman who died tragically this morning on our set," Brolin wrote on Instagram. "I never met her, but I know she was a friend, a sister, a daughter and a mentor. And the heart breaks and will slowly mend together as time sews beautiful memories honoring her."
Director David Leitch said he was speechless and filled with sorrow. "No words can express how I and the rest of the Deadpool 2 crew feel about this tragedy. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loved ones in this difficult time."
Fox also said the studio was heartbroken to receive the news.
"We are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred on the set of Deadpool 2 this morning. Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time."
It is unclear when production will resume.

Newspapers, periodicals, TV channels are full of advertisements of Income Declaration Scheme 2016. Hoardings, banners, posters and handbills highlight the details of the Scheme. PM, FM and top brass of the Income Tax Department are beckoning people to declare their undisclosed incomes and contribute to the nation's mite. The local heads of the Income Tax department are holding conferences with the trade & industry associations to woo the constituents to avail the benefits of this 'unique' scheme. The Government wants this scheme to be a bounding success so that it not only fills their coffers but more importantly it gives them political mileage, especially with elections in many states ahead, that they have cleansed the nation from the menace of 'Black Money'. It is undisputed that there is a parallel economy in our country. It is an irony that out of 140 crore people, there are only 1% Income Tax assessees who pay taxes and it is paradoxical that there were only 5430 individual assessees who had paid income tax above Rs. 1 crores for the AY 2012-13.
The Scheme opened from 1 June 2016 and is slated to close on 30-09-2016. Almost 2 months have elapsed but the Scheme has not got a favourable response with the taxpayers. It is too early to comment on the success/failure of the scheme and the scheme is likely to evoke response in the 2nd fortnight of September. But right now there is widespread despair in the Government circles as to the success of the scheme. There is mounting tension with the Government, the Income Tax Department and the taxpayers alike. The Government has threatened the erring tax evaders of coercive action after the deadline if they do not come out honestly with the income declarations. The Department is under tremendous pressure for income declarations. The heads of departments in various cities have probably been given ambitious targets for income declaration in their respective charges. There is impending fear in the minds of the taxpayers about the action of the department against honest taxpayers after the failure of IDS 2016. With tension mount all round, it is time to ponder on the facets of scheme vis a vis the expectations of the taxpayers at large.
Let us look back at the history of such declaration /disclosure schemes and their response in the past. Although there have been a number of schemes for disclosure of undisclosed income & wealth but it would be worthwhile to refer to VDIS 1997 where 4.75 lac declarations were made disclosing 33339 crores of undisclosed income yielding tax of 9584 crores. Mumbai collected the highest at 2032 crores followed by Delhi at 1228 crores and Ahmedabad at 968 crores. The rate of taxation under this scheme for individuals was 30% while for corporates it was 35%. This scheme was a success and the collections were to the expectations of the government. It is pertinent that out of 4.75 lac declarations, 3.09 lacs pertained to disclosure of jewellery as according to the scheme the valuation of jewellery was to be made for the year in which jewellery was said to have been acquired. This brought down the effective rate of taxation considerably from 30% to 5-10% depending on the year of disclosure of jewellery. Most of the jewellery disclosed under this scheme was sold off subsequently and the unaccounted money pumped to the economy to the ultimate benefit of the nation. It would not be out of place to refer to Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015. The total number of declarants was only 638 and the amount declared was only Rs. 4147 crores yielding Rs. 2488 crores as Tax @ 30% & Penalty @ 30%. The figures explicitly reveal that the scheme did not evoke a favourable response as expected by the government. High rate of 60% was the main reason for the low turnout in the said scheme.
Coming to IDS 2016, the rate of Taxation is 30% plus surcharge of 7.5% plus penalty of 7.5% thus making the effective rate of 45% of the total declaration. This rate has been intentionally kept at a higher side so that the court may not be critical and abuse the scheme for providing advantage to tax evaders and for being against the honest taxpayers The government did not want criticism for providing ' incentive for tax evasion '.
To woo the declarants, the government has come out with an extended payment plan. Earlier the entire tax was to be deposited by 30 September 2016 but to facilitate more declarations under the scheme the government has subsequently mandated payment of 25% of tax, surcharge & penalty by 30 November 2016, next 25% by 31 March 2017 & the remaining 50% by 30 September 2017. Thus payment of 45% has been spread over so that tax evaders can make larger declarations. However, this concession has also failed to attract the declarants.
It needs to be pondered why IDS 2016 has not fared well and not evoked favourable response with the taxpayers as yet. The reasons for the same can be summed up as under:
1. The rate of 45% is on a higher side and not accepted by the erring tax evaders. The prospective declarants have not forgotten the low rates of 30-35% in VDIS 1997. There is a set mindset amongst the people and the rate of 45% has been outrightly rejected as unacceptable.
2. The date for valuation of the assets has been kept as on 01-04-2016 in spite of the fact that the declarant had acquired it in earlier years. This is irrational. Suppose a person had purchased an immovable property for Rs. X on 31-03-2010 through a registered deed out of his undisclosed income and he wishes to declare the same under IDS 2016, he shall be constrained to pay tax on the current valuation as on 01-04-2016 of say Rs. 2X i.e. he would be required to pay 0.90 X on an undisclosed income/investment of 1.0 X. This is illogical especially when he has a document in support of his investment.
3. The confusion created by an article in a leading newspaper that since the source of payment of tax would not be asked, the effective rate would be only 31% , was widely circulated via the social media. At this rate, the prospective declarants made up their mind for declaration in IDS 2016. But soon this came out to be a farce. The government clarified that the scheme was being misunderstood and misinterpreted and the rate of 31% as claimed to the effective rate was wrong. This had a dampening effect on the scheme.
4. The date of closure of the scheme is 30-09-2016 . This is the time when the CA fraternity and the Tax consultants shall be busy in preparation of corporate returns of Income Tax. They would not have ample time to advise & pursue their clients for making declarations under IDS 2016. Moreover, until the Income Tax Return for AY 2016-17 has been filed, it would not be able for the assessee to ascertain the undisclosed cash/ property available to be declared under IDS 2016.
5. There appears no incentive for a declarant to declare under IDS 2016. The normal maximum rate of taxation is 30.9%. From the perspective of the taxpayer, the rate of 45% is high. Could it not be mandated that 20% tax be deposited along with the declaration and remaining 25% be invested in low interest rate Union Bonds with a lock in period of 10 years.
6. Those assessees who have been subjected to Search & Seizure operations could have declared their undisclosed income under IDS 2016 to buy peace but the scheme specifically excludes such assessees and debars them to file declarations.
7. Suppose an assessee has accumulated Rs. 60 Lacs in cash out of his undisclosed income during the last 6 years and he wishes to bring this money into his books, as of now he has 2 options. One is to declare Rs. 60 lacs as his income under IDS 2016 & pay 27 lacs as taxes, surcharge & penalty. Thus he will be able to utilise Rs. 33 lacs for his needs. He has another option also. He deposits Rs. 60 lacs in his bank account and subsequently show this amount as his income from other sources for AY 2017-18 which he cannot substantiate. It is pertinent that u/s 115 BBE of the Income tax Act, such income would be taxed @ 30%. Thus he would pay 18.54 lacs as tax & surcharge and utilise Rs. 41.46 lacs for his needs. Since he would be paying advance tax, no interest can be charged. There is no question of imposition of any penalty. Thus, why an assessee would choose for IDS 2016? This is indeed a food for thought.
It should not be forgotten that the entire Indian economy is sluggish. The sales, exports and production has plummeted down and all are facing cash crunch. Most of the people have their money blocked in real estate investments which have hardly any buyers. IDS 2016 appears mistimed. It is high time the government should reconsider the anomalies of the scheme and make amendments and declare suitable relaxations/ modifications so as to attract maximum declarations.
(Author – Inder Chand Jain, Agra, Mobile:9319215672, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
It is now certain that the tax has to be paid out of the income declared or in other words the declarant has to pay tax on the tax paid, if it is not out of the 'income declared'. If it is so, for a property purchased in 2012-13 for Rs. 50 Lakhs and now the market value of the same is Rs. 1 Crore, then the effective rate would be 64% if the tax paid is offered as income in the A.Y. 2017-18 and again and again the 'tax paid' is to be offered as income and tax is to be paid on the same since the property is not sold and the amount is not realized in cash, due to the cascading effect. If the tax paid is offered as income along with the income declared in the year of declaration itself the effective rate would be 82%. Am I right?
IDS has provided golden opportunity for people holding Benami Property & undeclared property. For Benami Property no capital gains on transferor, no TDS, no fear of loosing propert for ever upon declaring under IDS. It is true that taking current valuation of self held property is great dampenor for the scheme.
It is suggested that property being declared if registered in the name of devlarant in earlier year, value of the registration year as per registrar of assurance should be recognised for IDS purpose.
In Para 7 of the Article captioned as 'Why the IDS 2016 is not clinching?' the Author has suggested that declaring the undisclosed income as ' income from other sources' instead of disclosing the same under the scheme (by adopting modus- operandi suggested in the Article) in the return for the Assessment year 2016-17 one can get away scot free by just paying normal tax u/s 115BE of the Act and that too if the person fails to substantiate, i.e., no interest, no penalty no prosecution.
I am afraid, it is not so simple a case as the Author has tried to make, because, admittedly, the person will not be able to substantiate the facts material as to the source(s) of such income and once there is such failure, the case may fall within the scope and ambit of not only the Explanation 1 to section 271(1)(C) of the Act, but within the scope and ambit of the provisions of section 276 C and/or section 276 D and/or section 277 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Dear Declarants, please do not fall in the net of such alluring Tax planning-least you may land to face more drastic consequences-both financially as well as Mentally and Physically.
As far as net tax effect is concerned, it is only about 13% more than the normal tax rates , which in my opinion is not as big as is being made out in some quarters-especially when compared to the peace of mind.

In December, many of blogs I follow started getting all a-flutter about singer Lana Del Rey. They posted the video for her single "Video Game," they wrote breathlessly about her upcoming album, "Born to Die," and basically made it seem like she was the greatest thing since the iPhone. Then in January, the backlash began. She did a stilted gig on SNL. It was revealed that she had released an album before under her government name of Lizzy Grant, and that her hype machine was fueled by major label money. People accused her of not being indie. They made fun of her plastic surgery. They accused her of astroturfing.
Her album dropped last week, and response has been tepid. People have been quick to bash her. Most reviewers point out what is probably the truth, that the album is ho-hum and not worthy of all the attention it has gotten, either positive or negative. Even Rolling Stone gave it 2 stars, and they NEVER give ANYTHING 2 stars. Rolling Stone loves every album. They had a motto up in their offices in the 90s that 3 stars meant never having to say you're sorry.
Most reviewers are spineless fucks, myself included. We don't want to go out on a limb and say something sucks if everyone else seems to like it. We don't want to be mean to an artist. We don't want to admit to not understanding something everyone else loves. The only exception is when something is so loved we want to be contradictory, or when the signal has been given that it is ok to hate on an album.
Case in point. Nicolas Jaar's "Space Is Only Noise" made a bunch of top 10 lists. Why would a weird, meandering electronica album make so many top 10 lists? Because the signal was given that this was a cool record, and people lined up to love it, myself included. The fact that it is indeed a remarkable album helps its case, of course, but that is secondary. There are tons of brilliant records that don't get championed. It's far easier to back a winner than to go out on your own.
But I'm getting off topic. The whole Lana Del Rey thing is an example of the worst element of the media, especially in this hyper connected age. Some little thing will be talked and hyped to death by a bunch of pundits who don't know what the fuck they are talking about, creating this vicious feedback loop that makes a small matter into a giant tumor. Then, just as quickly, the tide will turn and the person or issue will vanish completely. The Republican primary is one example of this. Or Mass Effect as a sex simulator. Or Obama's birth certificate. Or any celebrity couple.
Whatever. "Video Games" is a decent song. Also, fake lips are terrible. I've never, ever looked at a woman and thought, I wish her lips were bigger.There is not one case where fake lips look better than real lips.
