Over time I have been replacing most of my CFL bulbs with LED bulbs. Even though I produce more electricity than I use and I believe in using the power it takes do what I want, I still don't want to waste energy that could have been put to a better use somewhere else.
I hate CFL's for all of the usual reasons:
- They are slow to turn on, which usually gets worse as they get older.
- They hate cold weather, which makes them take even longer turn on.
- They have a poor CRI value. (So I really have to google numerous consumer group reports when at the supermarket to figure out if they are any good)
- It seems you almost need a hazmat suit to clean up a broken CFL bulb.
- They are often oversold so it is rarely equal of a 60w incandescent as the package says but often more 50w, and that gets worse as they get older. (Yes, I know, get used to Lumens already)
LED bulbs also often suffers from a poor CRI value, but they turn on fast, they like cold weather, they are not a danger to your health and they don't seem to be oversold in the lumens department. So when you compare LED to a CFL in the supermarket, look at the lumens and don't believe the Watt comparison written on the CFL bulb. If you need a CFL bulb to match a 60w incandescent, you often need to buy a "75 Watt" instead.
G4 Halogen
I have finally taken the time to find a replacement for the 6 10w G4 Halogen under my cupboards in the kitchen. I had to replace the power supplies because the new LED bulbs does not draw enough power for them to work, and I want them to supply DC to the lights to make sure they don't flickr.
I have bought different G4 LED replacements to test and most of them were useless. The first I got, had a huge plastic cover on the back to prevent it from shorting out when touching the reflector. But that also meant that it would never fit. See the upper right picture.
The second one I tried recently had a huge capacitor on the back so that you can use it with AC current without flickr. So that also would never fit and they decided to place it at the edge, making it even worse. Further more, I don't think it will survive long with the heat that the LEDs produce.
Then I finally found some useful substitute.
They have the right dimensions, they claim to have a CRI > 90, a neat heat sink on their back and they seem to work with AC current also(but I am still going for DC).
I made a few temperature measurements. The ambient temperature was around 24c-25c. I made each measurement after having kept the bulbs running for 7 hours.
Halogen bulbs runs HOT and I measured on the wood shelf inside the cupboard, a temperature hot spot of about 45c from a 10w bulb. That dropped to 28c-29c with the 1,6w LED installed.
As any other electronics, LEDs likes it cool so I tried to remove the reflector to leave more room for cooling the LED. It might have had some effect but not something I could measure. The temperature inside the cupboard may have gone up to 30c but I could not measure any difference on the LED's.
In my final test I ran them with the glass cover on and removed. With the glass cover removed, I saw temperatures on the LED around 75c. With the glass cover on, it went all the way up to 105c, ouch. According to wikipedia, the optimal operating temperature to ensure a long lifespan of the LED's, their temperature should be kept below 120c, and the SMD mounted capacitor should be able to take it as well(if they have used the right type), so it should be good but not a lot of headroom, but I wonder what would happen if I installed a 2 watt, that might get to close for comfort.
Time will tell if they are any good in the long run, but so far I am happy.
These 2 pictures below shows better the difference between the two as I perceive them.
I have begun testing the 2W bulbs and will update this with more information later on.

The varsity golf team is finding some consistency in its game as the Whalers picked up their second win of the season against Mashpee last Wednesday and improved to 4-2 overall.
Nantucket had a brief break from competition this week, but was scheduled to be in action at Lighthouse Conference foe Sturgis yesterday, too late for this edition of Sports. The Whalers lost to the Storm in the first match of the season in gusty wind conditions and was still searching for its first league win of the season.

Read on for this helpful guide on how to turn your TV obsession into a job by becoming a TV critic. I know, your day just got made.
1. Get Educated
There are lots of jobs that you can have in the field of TV, and all of them are creative. You can write, produce, direct, act, or work as a crew member as a production assistant (affectionately called a P.A.) You can even be a background actor. But if you want to truly turn your love of the small screen into a super fun career, then you need to become a TV critic.
Unfortunately, there's no TV Critic School or special undergraduate degree that you can get. That sucks. But you should probably have some sort of English degree or journalism school training. That can only help, and if you have a dream, you always want to plan ahead and make sure you're putting your best foot forward so, you know, you can actually get your dream. And not just dream about it. Take an online writing course or some sort of journalism class if you can swing it – you'll learn the basics of reporting and writing, and that will definitely help.
2. Start a Blog
So, we've established that your best bet in the wonderful world of TV obsession is to become a person who reviews TV. It's the only way to literally watch hours upon hours of TV and get paid. That sounds like heaven, right? It basically is heaven, and no, it's not too good to be true. It's completely possible.
But you can't just walk into a newspaper office and demand a job. It's always best to start small with some baby steps. So why not start a blog? You can review your favorite shows and develop your writing voice. Be funny, be wild, have fun with it. The sky is the limit. It's your own personal blog, so write whatever you want (within reason, of course – you definitely don't want to offend anyone or your career TV dreams are over). Okay, so you're not getting paid to write these blog posts, but we all start from the bottom. Think of it as an internship. Except you get to watch TV and you're not being yelled at or insulted by your so-called mentor.
3. Get Some Clippings
It's a good idea to write about things other than TV. I know, that makes zero sense. How can writing about other subjects possibly help you? But hear me out. The industry of entertainment journalism is a difficult one, and it's full of bright-eyed young kids who want exactly what you do. It's a jungle out there, basically, and everyone watches the same shows and has the same TV obsession that you do. I know, that's a huge shock, because you thought you were the only person who loved TV. Sorry to break it to you. So, if you want to show your writing chops, it's a good idea to build up an online portfolio of some website clippings. Write for a local news site for free, just to get some work. Or write about something arts-related so at least you're in the right area.
Once you have some non-TV related clippings, you can also write some TV reviews for free, maybe for some of the sites you've already contributed to. Pitch some ideas and they'll most likely go for it since everyone loves getting free content. It's just the truth.
Wait, you don't want to write about TV for free? You thought you could skip this unfortunate step and become a paid TV critic immediately? Sorry. You can keep up your blog, but you should also find some websites that will allow you to write some reviews free of charge. Maybe that can lead to some paying gigs later on when you start to freelance. But don't think about that yet. And you might as well get prepared now because people are going to say some pretty silly stuff to you when you're a successful freelance writer.
4. Find Freelance Online Work
After you've been blogging for a while – say, a few months at least – it's definitely time to start looking for some paid work. Your best bet is online. The web is definitely a wonderful place, and since you're not going to get hired as a newspaper or magazine's full-time TV critic right now (and maybe not ever – hey, the truth hurts, and it's a tough market out there in the entertainment journalism world), it's smarter to start online. Look on some online job boards or find some online sites that cover TV, and apply. If you don't see any freelance writing openings, create your own luck and email some editors of websites that cover the kind of TV that you want to write about. You just might hear back and get what you want.
5. Be Prepared
There's this saying that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Well, that's going to be you if you're not super prepared for this kind of career. It's basically a lifestyle. Your eyes are going to burn after watching hours of TV. You're going to mix up plotlines and characters and sometimes not even have any idea where you are or what show you're even watching. But the real bad news? You're going to have to review shows that you hate and have absolutely zero interest in watching.
Hey, you wanted this life, didn't you? You're still getting paid to watch TV. That's basically like getting paid to do nothing. Everyone else is slaving away in front of a computer screen five days a week, 9-to-5, taking crap from their mean bosses and getting more and more annoyed by their coworkers every day. Consider yourself very, very lucky.
6. Get a Full-Time Gig
In your wildest dreams, you want to be a full-time TV critic and have a steady job at some sort of publication. That's going to be pretty hard. Actually, it's almost impossible, since TV critics are often the first to go when lay-offs happen at newspapers and magazines, and now it's become a bit of a dying art. But miracles do happen. So never stop dreaming. Cheesy, I know. But it's still very true.

Want to turn all that couch potato time into a fun career? Why not become a TV critic? You already know you have the capacity to watch TV for an entire day, let alone an entire weekend. You've done it for free, so why not do it for money? You might not get rich. You might not get steady work. But you've got to start somewhere.
Are you a TV addict? Would you turn your passion into a career? Let us know in the comments section below.

Riverdale Season 2 will premiere in the US tonight, before making its way to the shores of the UK via Netflix tomorrow. Safe to say, there is excitement…
If you didn't watch the first series and are wondering what the obsession is – this is for you… Riverdale follows a group of teenagers in America, going through the trials and tribulations of high school. The first series focused on the effect a murder had on the small town of Riverdale. Throw in Veronica Lodge – daughter of a notorious criminal, a formidable cast and supporting sub-plots, and the ingredients were certainly there for a fantastic run. Riverdale proved hugely popular, which has resulted in anticipation of the second season. So, we have the key questions and facts covered, take a look…
How Did Season One End Again?
In tragic fashion – main character Archie Andrews saw his father shot. His impending death and fallout will form the basis for the opening episode. Archie and Veronica form a couple, while Betty was concerned at Judghead's apparent willingness to join the Southside Serpents. Veronica's father Hiram Lodge was set to be released from prison. Oh, and the father of the Blossom family commit suicide. This all sets up Season Two!

Who is returning?
The gang are all back together, while there are some new arrivals too! KJ Apa appears as Archie, with Cole Sprouse reprising his role as Jughead. Lili Reinhardt appears as Betty Cooper, with Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge. Supporting actors and actresses also returning include Madchen Amick as Alice Cooper and Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom. One of the most intriguing areas of Season 2 will be the arrival of Hiram Lodge – set to be portrayed by Mark Consuelos. Vanessa Morgan is the other major cast arrival – she will play a potential love interest of Jughead's and member of the Southside Serpents.
So What Will Happen in Season 2?
Of course little is known, and we will have to wait to find out all the details. But the show will be addressing all the points above. The intrigue around Hiram Lodge will continue – could this be linked to the murder of Archie's Dad? How will Archie cope with this? Will Jughead turn away from Betty and go to the Southside Serpents. And what next for the Blossom family? We shall have to wait and see.
Episodes, Times Etc?
This season will have a blockbuster 22 episodes. Episodes will be aired weekly in the US, starting October 11, before being made available through Netflix in the UK the next day.

Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary
Between the Anamalai Ranges of Taminadu and the Nelliampathy Ranges of
Kerala on the Western Ghats is the Parambikulam wildlife sanctuary. Situated
in the Palakkad (Palghat)district, it was originally a small tract of
reserve forest with an area of about 48 sq. kms. However owing to the
growing wildlife need, it was expanded in 1962 and today covers an area
of 258 sq. kms.
Ideally suited to the growth of teak, the tract encouraged large scale
teak plantations through artificial regeneration in the early 1920's.
This was abandoned when a full fledged wildlife department was formed
in 1985.
Several streams originate from these hills and flows towards the Chalakudy
river. The terrain is mostly undulating with a valley in the basin. The
Karimala Gopuram is the highest peak in this region and standing at 1444m
The Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary, Palakkad is accessible by road from
Tamil Nadu side of the border. Buses ply between Pollachi and Parambikulam.
MEANS OF TRANSPORT and DISTANCE
Nearest railway station - Pollachi ( 60 kms).
Nearest airport - Coimbatore ( 100 kms)
Roads From the Kerala side, the sanctuary is accessible through dirt roads
and may need sturdy 4-wheel drives to take you there. .
More Hotel/Resort Reservations click Palghat accomodation
There is a rest house at Thunacadavu. The Parambikulam Project also provides
accommodation. There are several cheap hotels at Pollachi and Coimbatore
Silent Valley National Park
The Silent Valley National Park , around 90 Kms in all was the subject
of a state wide environmental agitation , to save the virgin evergreen
forests from destruction, due to a dam proposed within it.
This wildlife sanctuary attained international attention then and now
forms part of larger Nilgiri Biosphere reserve. The park is home to more
than 100 species of butterflies and birds. Other wildlife includes the
Nilgiri Tahr, the rare and endangered Lion Tailed Macaque, leopards, tigers
and elephants.
To get to the Park, one has to take the road from Palakkad, 80 kms away.Regular
buses are available to Mukkali, 20 kms from the Park. Visitors are allowed
only in a few places, near the site proposed for the dam earlier. Facilities
are rudimentary and limited. Recommended only for those willing to rough
it out. .

Pumpkin & Apple Picking
Over the weekend Roy took me apple and pumpkin picking. It was really cold (and supposedly going to rain) but we had a blast! We enjoyed hunting for apples and running around the pumpkin field. We had lunch at the farm stand next to Johnson's Farms General Store and listened to the live band play. The warm apple cider was the perfect way to end the afternoon!
We both hadn't been apple picking since we were children and we had fun plucking them from the branches, planning to make some apple pie and cinnamon apple bread.
This little girl's enthusiasm had me hysterical. Not to mention, this is what I looked like as a child - right down to the purple leggings she was wearing.
When I saw the first big one I wanted I ran over to it like a four year old and shouted "This one!"
And of course I was wearing my boots. There was only two of us but we wanted lots of pumpkins. I was using any means necessary to carry them - see the stashed pumpkin in my bag? (P.S. that's my new Epiphanie bag from the wonderful girls at Shutter Sisters and Maile Wilson)
I'm even happy to find the little ones!
Later this week: DIY Fall Decorations - painting mini pumpkins and gourds (aka Jack b' Little gourds) and more!
Labels: fall, photography

Your photos are beautiful!! And so are you! This has me dying to go to a pumpkin patch even more than I already was. And the pumpkin in the bag is adorable. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Katie! It was a great date day, we had so much fun - I hadn't done it in years.ReplyDelete

© Ivan Velisavljević, 2009
In the mid-1990s, a whole generation of Serbian film critics was engaged in the defence of American cinema. In 1995, when Emir Kusturica's Underground was released, a film critic for a Belgrade magazine Time of Enjoyment (Vreme zabave), Goran Terzić, refused to watch the film which won the Golden Palm in Cannes. He sarcastically described the "enemies of American cinema"—critics who used to defend Kusturica inspired by his anti-Hollywood views and relevant today in the wake of the symbolic "burial" of Live Free or Die Hard, 2007, at Kusturica's Kustendorf Festival in 2008.
One can say that the dialectic "for and against American/Hollywood cinema" and the ambivalence towards it in Serbia since 1991, have been perpetually leading Serbian film, polarizing it and pushing it forward and back. At least this used to be the case, as in the last few years the situation in film criticism and practice has changed somewhat. Of course, the concepts of "American," "genre" and "Hollywood" cinema are too broad, but the source of the stated dialectic lies in the fact that these notions have not been defined, that they are imprecise or too simplified, and often colored politically and ideologically. Rock'n'roll and genre cinema, two important attributes of the American film industry—combined with a broadly taken notion of Americana, which has been an inspiration to many Serbian filmmakers—are the basic elements of this relationship.
The Foundation of Criticism
The abovementioned film critic belongs to the generation of the so-called "Pajkić group" (a problematic grouping which brings together a number of original individuals who write film criticism in the shadow of one man). The name is Nebojša Pajkić, professor of screenwriting at Belgrade's Academy for Dramatic Arts (FDU), who has been an inspiration to and professor of this group of critics, and editor of magazines and collections of essays. For the Serbian public this name has become synonymous with the first generation of critics, cinematically educated, authentic film buffs, ardent defenders of genre cinema, especially American. In socialist Yugoslavia this kind of cinema was characterized as "kitsch" by the mainstream critics (often without valid arguments or an elementary knowledge of facts), because it was not in their opinion, engaged, mimetic and serious enough; these were the demands of the then-dominant "Marxist criticism" supported by the government. Dejan Ognjanović talks about this in the introduction to his book In Hills, Horrors: Serbian Horror Cinema, (U brdima, horori: Srpski film strave, Niš, 2007).
The "Pajkić" generation had quite a different approach: very well educated in cinema, through the miracle of video-tapes in the 1980s, they were finally in a position to carefully watch genre films. They disturbed the prevailing opinion about film in Serbia with the premise that genre and author, entertainment and art were not conflicting concepts, something that, until then, had been taken for granted. With numerous articles in journals, books, and a key collection of essays, A Light in the Dark: The New Hollywood (Svetlo u tami: Novi Holivud, 2002), these critics presented their own heroes: John Milius, Walter Hill, Brian De Palma, Larry Cohen, Philip Kaufman, George Romero...
In fact, American filmmakers were dominant in forming the taste of these critics: in their opinion, the only industry that could match America's was Hong Kong cinema. Their fascination with American directors could be seen in two random samples. A book by Aleksandar D. Kostić, Field of Dreams (Polje snova, Belgrade, 1997—the title relates to Kostić's personal taste, personal field of dreams in cinema) has a typical American image on its cover. It is a picture of two young men in front of Jimmy Hendrix's grave from the film Singles (1992, Cameron Crow). The book contains articles mostly about American directors—John Badham, Ron Shelton, Michael Mann—and rock'n'roll and jazz in cinema (again, mostly American variants). Likewise, the first issue of the magazine Happy Ending (Hepiend, Belgrade, 1996, edited by Pajkić) contains articles on John Woo and transvestism in cinema (with mostly American examples like Ed Wood and Andy Warhol), while the critic's list of ten favorite films, on the last page of the magazine, contains, with the exception of John Woo's The Killer (1989), exclusively American titles.
A few related questions arise: First, why was the "Pajkić" generation so fascinated by American (and) genre cinema? Second, why did they consider the most relevant directors those American filmmakers who had not, even in their own country, been treated very seriously or reverently, for example, John Milius, Abel Ferrara and John Carpenter? And how did their critical views influence films that were produced in Serbia after this generation of film buffs reached their zenith, that is, between the mid-1990s and the present?
The answer to the first question partially lies in the perpetual influence of the famous generation of the French New Wave probably on all the film critics in the world, but especially European ones. Interpreting the American film industry, the largest and most popular in the world, revalorizing the author, discovering new names and polemicizing with American critics such as Andrew Sarris—all this indeed presented a challenge for a Serbian critic who finally had the opportunity to see all these films multiple times and to analyze them in detail. A part of the answer also lies in the debt to the postmodern age and theory in addition to the critics being fed up with socialism's didactic demands that cinema should be a part of high culture and that it should primarily look up to the European canonized auteurs such as Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini and Andrei Tarkovsky. (One of the essays in A Light in Dark was called"Why I like Steve Carver, and not Ingmar Bergman").
The answer to the second question is somewhat more complex. It perhaps partly lies in the rebellious, non-conformist, even "loser" status shared by the above-mentioned directors in the American industry, with John Milius leading the group. The Serbian genre cinema buff, a rebel in the world of socialist realism and highbrow culture could identify easily with that status. The society in the former Yugoslavia, liberal compared to other "communist" countries, in the 1980's had a great rock'n'roll scene, a more liberal economy than the eastern bloc countries, and was already infected by the myths of individual freedom, the free market, the abundance and other joys of American capitalism. The importing of American cultural goods, including a McDonald's restaurant which opened in Belgrade in 1989, was not obstructed. No wonder that the young critics wholeheartedly embraced this spiritual baggage.
It is also indicative that in Serbia in the beginning of 1990s, at a time of the departure of communism and the preparation for a market economy, as well as a time of awakening nationalism—Hollywood and Hong Kong, two very "patriotic" and anti-communist industries in their dominant ideology, with right-wingers such as John Milius, were in fact the source where the young critics formed their taste in films.
The Walls of Practice
As we can see, the first elements that Serbian directors and critics of this orientation adopted from the American film industry were rock'n'roll iconography and the spirit of rebellion. The process had already started in the 1980s with the film The Promising Boy (Dečko koji obećava, Miloš Radivojević, 1981), whose screenplay writer was Nebojša Pajkić himself. Rock'n'roll and beat music intermittently appear in earlier Serbian cinema, such as When I'm Dead and Gone (Kad budem mrtav i beo, 1967) by Živojin Pavlović, The Naughty One (Nemirni 1967), by Kokan Rakonjac, First Degree Murder (Ubistvo na podmukao i svirep način i iz niskih pobuda, 1969) by Žika Mitrović, and others. The Promising Boy is a story of a youth prophetically named Slobodan Milošević, a strange synthesis of director Miloš Radivojević's creative obsessions and the aesthetics of the French New Wave in the first half of the movie, and the subculture iconography of American rock'n'roll cinema—bikers, rock bands, parties, arty characters, homosexuals and self-destruction—in the second half.
The second film with a similar rock'n'roll attitude, The Fall of Rock'n'roll (Kako je propao rokenrol, 1989), again had Pajkić on its team (as a scriptwriter), as well as a part of the crew from The Promising Boy (the composer, for example). This omnibus film by then-young directors and writers has since gained a cult status. In the first story, through a clash between local folk music, which was the road to fame, and rock'n'roll, whose time was up—a true demise of rock'n'roll during the so-called Wars for the Yugoslav succession is foreseen. Through that, it is obvious what, actually, rock'n'roll really meant for the hip Belgrade circle of filmmakers and artists—a spirit of rebellion of the young, smart, urban, different and critical people against peasant, populist culture which was speedily flooding the ruling discourse. Unlike Sarajevo, where rock'n'roll always went hand in hand with the folk spirit and especially Balkan folk music (the reading of rock'n'roll which generated Kusturica), Belgrade offered more westernized, New York-type of "good entertainment" created by urban types who did not have much to do with the "crowd."
The eighties also produced the two following films, which featured members of one of the best Serbian rock band—Ekaterina Velika: Black Maria (Crna marija, 1986, Milan Živković), a story of the rise and fall of a rock band, and Taiwan Canasta (Tajvanska kanasta, 1985, Goran Marković). The break-up of Yugoslavia in the beginning of the 1990s brought the film We are Not Angels (Mi nismo andjeli, 1992), a debut feature by Srdjan Dragojević, one of the most popular Serbian box-office hits, a cynical romantic comedy in which an Angel and the Devil are fighting for the soul of a bohemian city dweller and womanizer Nikola. The Black Bomber (Crni bombarder, 1992, Darko Bajić), done under the notable influence of Walter Hill's stylization in Streets of Fire (1984), is the story of a radio journalist whose provocative show and conflict with the police causes political demonstrations in Belgrade.
We are Not Angels summarizes the experience of Belgrade's post-new wave punk aesthetics. By combining the urban spirit, humor and stylization, based on thoughtful use of kitsch, and playing with the genre conventions of romantic comedy—it was successful with audience and critics alike. The Black Bomber, on the other hand, made allusions to the cult Belgrade radio station B92. With its open rock'n'roll iconography and aesthetics, the music of The Electric Orgasm (Električni orgazam), one of the most important Belgrade rock bands, and the appearance of numerous personalities from the Serbian rock scene of the day, The Black Bomber laid claims to being "the movie of the generation"—but it failed, though gloriously, both in quality and with the audience.
With such a "thin" heritage of rock'n'roll film, and rare and distant models in using Hollywood formulas in Serbia (as in films of Žika Mitrović in the 1950s and 1960s), but with film buffs' big appetites and their tastes formed on Americana, as Serbian filmmakers and young critics in large numbers turned into filmmakers—Serbian cinema entered the second half of the 1990s and the new millennium. At the very edge of this period, another work of the rock sensibility was created—The Package Tour (Paket aranžman, 1995), again an omnibus of three student films based on a screenplay of Djordje Milosavljević, a member of the Pajkić group and a fan of Michael Mann.
The heroes of this omnibus come from rock bands and the storylines of The Package Tour were created under the influence of John Dahl and Frank Zappa. This movie introduced two young directors, Srdan Golubović and Dejan Zečević, who would become among the most successful in handling genre patterns and using the language of Hollywood cinema. This film also introduced the scriptwriter and future director Djordje Milosavljević who was persistent in his attempts to make a good Tarantino thriller. It sounds peculiar, but it would take another decade to make the next rock'n'roll film in Serbia—We are not angels 3: Rock'n'roll strikes back (Mi nismo andjeli 3: Rokenrol uzvraća udarac, 2006), co-written by Srdjan Dragojević and Dimitrije Vojnov. That movie toys with a comedy of errors: soul-selling, mistaken identities and the hardships of a rock band, all sub plots within the folk-rock conflict.
On the other hand, the Tarantino-virus infected the Serbian film industry as well: Quentin Tarantino bore the same attributes as the Pajkić group—a film fanatic, drowning in video tapes, a fan of genre and trash cinema.... And he managed to become perhaps the most influential American director of the 1990s, recognizable precisely for his self-conscious use and revitalization of the stylistic patterns of American kitsch films. Looking at him, Serbian film authors saw their chance. Srdjan Dragojević was the most inventive. Pretty Village, Pretty Flame (Lepa sela lepo gore, 1996) and Wounds (Rane, 1998) presented him as an already mature author who, in the first place, knows perfectly well contemporary American war films (by Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone) as well as MTV aesthetics and the thriller, mastering their expressive potentials. These two films brought him major success in the US and a two-year contract with Miramax, during which, unfortunately, he did not manage to make a feature film in Hollywood.
Other films sought the formula of a good little movie in the manner of "chamber" thrillers: Rage (Do koske, 1998) by Boban Skerlić, with a lot of Woo-Tarantino shoot-outs, violence and foul language, as well as Wheels (Točkovi, 1999) and The Mechanism (Mehanizam, 2000) by Djordje Milosavljević—are all glorious failures.... Far more successful, at least on the international festival circuit (the FIPRESCI prize in Venice and World Prism in Santa Barbara), was Cabaret Balkan (Bure baruta, 1998) by Goran Paskaljević. Fragmenting its dramaturgy into ten stories, it commented on the dead-end "spiral of violence" of Balkan/Serbian reality.
After 1999: Goodbye America, Good Morning America
The fascination with American films and Americana which grew out of film criticism gave only partial results in film practice. That realization combined with other, historical reasons—such as the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999, the fall of Slobodan Milošević's regime in October 2000, which triggered a painful process and eventual change of the social order, that is, the process of transition and brutal privatization—influenced the attitude of young Serbian critics and film authors towards American cinema and the U.S. in general. Uncritical adoration grew into cautious consideration and critical re-evaluation.
At first, the western was the most suitable genre for such a process. Golubović's Absolute Hundred (Apsolutnih sto, 2001), was a western with a revenge motif about two brothers, two marksmen, one who is a step away from becoming a champion, and the other who used to be a champ, but became a drug addict who sold his shooting gallery and owes money to criminals. One on One (Jedan na jedan, 2002) by Mladen Matičević is a story of a basketball player who also faces a showdown with criminals. Both films mirror the time in which they were made: the problem of criminal gangs, of a disappointed generation growing up under Milošević, of keeping one's pride, and major economic upheavals.
At the same time, a new generation of critics and film authors steps on the scene with a concept of the New Serbian Cinema. But their role models are a little different, more eclectic, more international and less "Americanized:" Dimitrije Vojnov, one of the most distinguished authors of that generation, lists five titles pivotal for the New Serbian Cinema, only two of which are American productions. These are Irreversible (2002, Gaspar Noe), Visitor Q (2001, Takashi Miike), Hot Fuzz (2007, Edgar Wright), American History X (1998, Tony Kaye) and The Last Boy Scout (1991 Tony Scott).
Having absorbed the experience of the "Pajkić group," but far more careful in their approach to American and Hollywood cinema (even though still madly in love with it), disappointed by the situation in the national film industry, but with youthful energy invested in its change, these critics and filmmakers come at the moment when the Serbian film industry produced a few intriguing titles made under the influence of the American cinema. The first is Film noir (2007), directed by D. Jud Jones (alias) and Risto Topaloski, an animated, full-fledged thriller based on American noir and the video game Max Payne (2001), completely in English and with little indication that it was shot in Serbia. The second, called The Trap (Klopka, 2007) by Srdan Golubović, a Serbian film which made the short list for the Oscars, is also a thriller, with a storyline similar to that of John Q (2002). The third is The Fourth Man (Četvrti čovek, 2007), a spy thriller by Dejan Zečević, on the footsteps of The Bourne Identity (2002). The Fourth Man brought to Serbian cinema the first, in terms of genre, relevant treatment of the provocative subject of the National Security Police and the first film of its kind seriously taken by the public and the critics.
Only time will show whether in the dialectics surrounding the influence of American and Hollywood cinema in Serbia the thesis and antithesis of Americana are finally overcome in a productive synthesis. It would mean that Serbian cinema, if it lives up to this potential, is looking at an upsurge and return to its glory days when Serbia was the leading film industry in the region.

Confederate officer Caleb DeLeon is back from service, wounded, to find his house in shambles, his family missing, and only two former slaves – Simon and John – remaining. As the three of them wait for the rest of the family, they wrestle with their shared past as master and slaves, digging up old and new secrets.

Oil is discovered below the streets of Paris, France, across the Eiffel Tower and right under the lovely Café Chez Francis (in a section of the city known as Chaillot). A group of corrupt corporate managers have the full intention to tear up the place to get to the oil below, until an eccentric woman and her unlikely friends do something about it.
The Madwoman of Chaillot will run through Mar. 1. Tickets are "Pay What You Will" and can be reserved at http://www.parsonsnose.com. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Liberty Conceived is a music event by MUSE/IQUE at Pasadena's Civic Auditorium.

Vance, will feature American favorites like "Battle Hymn of the Republic,""Go Down Moses,""Beautiful Dreamer," and Aaron Copland's composition "Lincoln Portrait."A gospel choir and opera singers will accompany MUSE/IQUE's orchestra.

Everyone has a money story and, if you're looking at this page, you're most likely feeling more than a little unhappy in yours.
Instead of overwhelm, worry or frustration with your money, how about transforming it into your joyful partner, supporting you fully in your life, passions and dreams?
Imagine for a moment what would change if you no longer worried about money – getting, spending, saving, investing or protecting it.
What could you do differently? What new choices would appear?
"I'd recommend Alicia's class to anyone looking for mind-blowingly positive change not only in their relationship with money, but with themselves and with the universe." ~ Emily Hughey-Quinn, Writer, www.emilyhugheyquinn.wordpress.com
It's lovely to start imagining possibilities. It's even better to start living them. That's why I offer the Joy of Money class in digital format so you can immediately begin to:
- Release patterns from this lifetime or another that block you from having a healthy, supportive relationship with money;
- Assign money, the eternal baddie in your story, a new role in your life wherescarcity becomes an illusion and you can enjoy prosperity in ALL areas of your life
- Shift your current money story to align to the truth of money;
- Bridge the gap between your future wealthy self and your present money story – whatever it is right now – so that you can live your happy, wealthy life NOW;
- Learn effective tools and enjoy powerful activations to permanently align you to the truth of money and your birthright to infinite wealth and abundance;
- And so much more!
Maybe your money story is one where you:
- Never have enough money (time or support) no matter how hard you work, how many hours you put in or how hard you pray or set intentions
- Are afraid to ask for the pay rise, apply for that new job, start or expand a business
- Feel uncomfortable charging others so you tend to give away your time, your gifts and your talent
- Apply for jobs or try to expand your business but it never works out and you've learned to expect the rejection, refusal or the plateau in your income
- Money never sticks around
- Have money but feel it slipping through your fingers, often spending it as soon as it comes in
- Are afraid to change your money story too much for fear of not fitting in with your friends and family
- Have more than you need but don't know who might want to borrow, beg or even steal from you. That means you can't enjoy it openly but feel the need to play it down, hide or protect it
Money stories affect other stories in our lives. So changing your money story can send happy ripples into any and all other parts of your life!
And I'm sharing that from the perspective of someone who knows what it's like to have an unhealthy and unhappy money story and learned how to change it.

IN a political landscape full of dun suits and drab rhetoric, Michael Sutherland was an entertaining splotch of colour.
The rich turn of phrase, avuncular waistline and self-deprecating wit, all ensconced in that South African drawl, formed an affable and slightly flamboyant whole.
Behind closed doors he didn't suffer fools gladly — the turnover in his electoral office was so high I once suggested he replace the front door with a revolving one — and some ex-staffers compared his management style to president Mugabe.
But he was gregarious and charming in public, and most importantly knew how to work a room, going from unlikely election winner in 2008 to speaker of the legislative assembly.
His sense of humour and pompous baritone were perfectly suited to that role and he kept the political sprats swimming tightly in their shoals.
Politically, he was more of an independent Liberal, and often flouted the party line on domestic matters.
None of these were life or death, and he seemed content being a backbencher and enjoying the cachet that came with the speaker's mantle.
His later political life took a lurid turn when an audio recording of ex-staffer Sherry Sufi — at that point the Liberal federal candidate for Fremantle — emerged. Mr Sufi was caught on tape doing a sexually explicit impersonation of Mr Sutherland.
In typical fashion, he brushed it off as a peccadillo and said he had moved on and bore Mr Sufi no ill will.
Perhaps that's why Sutherland gave off the air of a man who was never particularly stressed — he didn't hold a grudge and didn't take himself too seriously.
Lampooned by Labor as an epicurean fat cat (they nicknamed him Sir Lunchalot), he was stereotyped as a bon vivant, but people liked him, sensing a warm and genuine man whose bark was worse than his bite.
What ever you thought of "old Sutho", one thing's for sure — the political skies over Mt Lawley became slightly greyer last Saturday.

We all know the importance of getting our kids out-of-doors. We've heard the studies about childhood obesity and 'screen time' in front of tvs and computers. Of course, in Houston, it's harder to get outside when temperatures are in high 90s. But, we try occasionally anyways.
When I started studying Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy a few months ago on my search for a homeschooling model that worked for me, I was surprised at her strong thoughts on nature. She adamantly encourages children under the age of six to have no formal schooling, but to spend as much time as possible every day OUTSIDE. And, as they get older, that portion of their 'schooling' is still important enough to get its own subject – Nature Study. She promoted Nature Study not only as a way to use up some of that extra energy that all kids seem to have, but also as a way to learn about our world, science, and our creator. And we all know how a walk in the woods or a beautiful garden can help us regain perspective in life and reconnect us to God.
It seems as though current studies have finally confirmed some of what Charlotte has been saying since the 1800s. I was just introduced to this site, Children & Nature Network, and have been thoroughly impressed with the information found there. Check out this video clip from The Today Show about kids and the outdoors. Makes me wanna go on a hike. Anybody want to go with me?
So, how do YOU get your kids out-of-doors for free play on a regular basis? I'm looking for some more creative ideas, especially for our hot, humid city. Share them in the comments section below.

Trade paper The Hollywood Reporter says that according to their industry insiders, the first footage from "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is expected to air during Super Bowl LII – a contrast to reports the other day which suggested it was unlikely.
Whether it could be the actual trailer, or a cut down 30-second TV spot of a longer trailer which would be attached to the release of "Black Panther," is not clear. Disney has declined to comment regarding its Super Bowl plans but this has been floated as a possibility for some time.
The game is charging $5 million for a 30-second spot and studios who've agreed to that will be advertising the likes of "Mission: Impossible – Fallout," "Skyscraper," the third "Cloverfield" film and "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" which are all expected to get trailers. In fact, 'Fallen Kingdom' is getting a whopping 90-second one. We're also likely to get previews for "Avengers: Infinity War" and/or "A Wrinkle in Time".
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" opens in late May.

Realm Works Special News Update
Greetings from Lone Wolf Development! Many of you have been anxiously awaiting the Realm Works Content Market, and we're pleased to announce your wait is almost over. The pieces are falling into place, and we're on track to launch the Content Market in December!
In mid-November, we'll be deploying a major Realm Works release with numerous refinements and quality-of-life enhancements that offer something for everyone. This release will also include critical new aspects of the Content Market for the Beta Team to test. From there, we'll focus on tying up loose ends and fixing whatever issues the Beta Team uncovers, which we anticipate will take a number of weeks.
Those of you who've been following our Realm Works journey are likely sensing a shift from our previous discussions regarding the Content Market. For example, there's no mention here of the multi-phase rollout that we previously outlined. The truth of the matter is, our vision for the Content Market was too grand to be created in the time frame we gave ourselves. We wanted perfection! We wanted bells and whistles and all the things! Unfortunately, all those things take time – especially for a team of our limited size.
Shortly after Gen Con, we had an epiphany. If we adjusted our approach, took a small detour, and scaled back the initial sophistication of the Content Market, we could quickly deliver the core functionality we've been promising. This would give users a solution NOW and allow us to continue working toward our original vision without dragging out the release and trying your patience further. So that's exactly what we've done! The revised Content Market puts the core features and published content you've been waiting for into your hands as swiftly as possible. We're pretty excited about this, and we hope you will be too!
Alongside these many improvements, we'll be introducing new editions of Realm Works! Restructuring the current product options allows us to offer something for everyone, making sure those who like to keep it simple can get started with Realm Works inexpensively. And, of course, users who want it all will be able to purchase everything they need via the new editions as well.
Finally, we'll be making adjustments to some of our terminology. For example, you'll start to see changes to the name used to define our "Cloud Service" options. FAQs, future updates, and sales pages will be revised to use the term "Server Access" instead, as we feel this more accurately describes what we offer. In addition, users who are leveraging Server Access now can expect us to resume the clock for everyone early next year.
We look forward to reaching the end of this long journey, so we can begin the ongoing adventure of making Realm Works the best campaign management tool it can be. Keep an eye out for smaller updates with additional details over the next couple months on our website, forums, and social media. Thank you again for your continued support and patience!
Kickstarter Backer Notes
We'll be delivering the content promised to Kickstarter backers as it becomes available to the public. Please look for more details on this subject through Kickstarter updates as we get closer to the actual release. In addition, all Kickstarter backers who elected to eschew Server Access (i.e. Pack Members) will be granted the service free for a limited time when we launch the Content Market. This will ensure you have the opportunity to give it a try, plus it will enable backers who have been asking to obtain Server Access the ability to do so.
New and Improved Features
While our primary development focus has been the Content Market, we have a plethora of new features headed your way for campaign management as well! Here's a sampling of the new capabilities you can expect to see in the upcoming November and December releases:
• Copy a complete realm
• Export a realm, or a portion of a realm, for sharing with other users (or for use in a separate realm of your own)
• Import shared content from other users and weave it all together into your own realm
• Detailed support for pre-defined game system structures, with initial support for Pathfinder, D&D 5E, and Savage Worlds
• Share game system structure definitions among users, making it easy to leverage the work of others to quickly adopt tailored structures for assorted game systems
• Automatically apply name fixups across all content whenever a topic or article name is changed
• Streamlined workflow for adding content to Player View when showcasing your world to your players during the game
• Optionally show the names of selected map pins within Player View
• Optionally disable the automatic creation of default text snippets within new topics and articles
• Quickly add plural versions of names to topics and articles (e.g. "Orc" becomes "Orcs")
• Free content for everyone, including Isle of Kandril (a small setting and adventure we commissioned from Super Genius Games), We Be Goblins from Paizo, and hopefully some additional surprises that we're still finalizing the details on
• And much more…
