Nice watch, I like the Plonger Hands, and nice clean dial, this would be a good working watchReplyDelete
Really nice watch, classic diver look with a robust movement. What more do you need for a watch to survive the harsh rigours of everyday living?ReplyDelete
I like it a lot.
I am really liking the proportions of the hour markers to the hands on this one. It is also nice that the bezel has full minute markers. I miss that on a few of my current watches. Thanks for the great giveaway (again)!ReplyDelete
very clean design which combines lots of vintage elements and inspiration. (plongeur, cushion-style case, dial minute markers)ReplyDelete
That's what a dive watch is supposed to look like. Love the plongeur minute hand , the hour hand is very tool like to. I hve always prefered indices to numerals for the hour markers. All in all a real winnerReplyDelete
I never take a dive but this stunning watch i take anytime//DanReplyDelete

The look & feel known from the 300m also functions quiet well on the 500m.ReplyDelete
I like the hands and the shape of the case.
I love the clean design of this Artego Diver Watch. I don't think I am able to dive under 500 meters so I think it will fit excellent on my hand.:)ReplyDelete
Awesome looking watch!ReplyDelete
Cute data window :-) but when diving it is really last info neededReplyDelete
Very nice diver! Not too big either.ReplyDelete
A very nice timepiece. Simply amazing.ReplyDelete
Nice would love to win it.ReplyDelete
Artego makes one fantastic watch. Great quality and design.ReplyDelete
Fabulous watch! It would be great to get it. Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
Nice watch. My fave position of the date at 4half.ReplyDelete
I really like the minutes hand and the dial not having too much text.ReplyDelete
Artego produce some very good watches among them the Sea King 2000 but the Artego 500M Diver is my favourite. Love the clean vintage inspired look.ReplyDelete
Love that clean dial, big minute hand and torch like lume!ReplyDelete
Very nice. I love the clean lines!ReplyDelete
Perfect diver, nice clean, extremely legible dial, unobtrusive date. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
ARTEGO 500M.ReplyDelete
Artergo 500 m is a really good diver. Got one already, though one more would be great.ReplyDelete
Beautifull watch, i like it.ReplyDelete
Metallic, Solid & Simply....ReplyDelete
The Artego 500m is an exquisite dive watch; rugged and capable, yet with a taste of luxury.ReplyDelete
Artego's watches are gorgeous pieces of work; the inky gloss of the black dial really stands out and makes the watch pop. Very solid construction and workmanship. I've owned other Artegos and love them unreservedly.ReplyDelete
Beautiful watch! Love the proportions and design subtleties of this Artego.ReplyDelete
I'm loving the plongeur hands and face. A very nice case shape too. What can i say, if I had it I wouldn't go anywhere near 500m but it's nice to know that if I did, they'd still be able to tell the time as they fish out my crushed body from the depths!!ReplyDelete
Fantastic giveaway thanks to both Artego and Oceanic. The new 500m looks very nice and is slightly different than the precious 300m. Would be fortunate to win. Thanks againReplyDelete
I love this watch!! Artego makes some great pieces, I miss my 300m!!!ReplyDelete
Great giveaway. I've had my sights on an Artego diver for a while. I love the hands and dial, very clean. Good luck to everyone.ReplyDelete
If sharing is caring your giveaway certainly shows you guys care. The Artego looks like the perfect companion for diving or any other activity. Love the legable dial and the classic lines of this watch. Good luck to all.ReplyDelete
Clean design, not to busy. Don't like divers that get me sea sick.ReplyDelete
Wow love the legibility on this diver, thanks for letting me know about yet another cool brand!ReplyDelete
Like the look. New case, same dial as 300m. Nice rugged affordable diver.ReplyDelete
Great giveaway.
Love the clean design of the dial. A very handsome piece.ReplyDelete
Looks Fantastic!!ReplyDelete
This is a beautiful clean dial. Looks like its built like a tank.ReplyDelete
GREAT watch,unique design,i liked a lot.ReplyDelete
Slick tool diver. Me likey!ReplyDelete
Clean dial with a robust case/movement. What more do you need?ReplyDelete
I really like the clean and uncluttered look of the dial. Good dimensions. And the Miyota movement's a real workhorse. Great looking watch.ReplyDelete
Simple and beautiful!ReplyDelete
Good looking, solid seeming diver!ReplyDelete

Great looking watch. Great blog. I check in every day.ReplyDelete
Excellent watch. I tried to purchase Artego 300m long time ago but it was out of stock.ReplyDelete

A classic diver case with a easy to read dial. A watch for any adventure from desktop to ocean bottom.ReplyDelete

What a beautiful watch!ReplyDelete
This watch offers several looks. Since it's face is clean and uncluttered, it would look just as good at a board meeting as it would several hundred meters under water. I also like that the size is kept manageable... perhaps its me, but the 50mm and larger watches are getting a bit old.ReplyDelete
Fabulous watch, and clean and simpleReplyDelete
That would look really great in a kayak out on the rivers or bay....ReplyDelete
Very solid and functional piece!
Very nice clean and precise looking watch. love how the orange hand stands out! Amazing time piece.ReplyDelete
I dig the orange hand and machined look of the bezelReplyDelete
Very nice - it would look nice on my wrist.ReplyDelete
Love the orange sword hand very slickReplyDelete
Very nice, easy to read tool diver. Hands make it easy to read!ReplyDelete
Simplicity of design integrated with a tried and tested workhorse automatic movement; namely the Miyota 8215! An unostentatious timepiece, with non-fuss applications and an original, superfluously executed created timepiece.ReplyDelete
Nice clean design. I like it.ReplyDelete
Looks like a nice classic diver style. I would be happy to have it in my collection.ReplyDelete
Great giveaway! I love this piece. Clean and simple design. The perfect size. I look forward to having an Artego in my collection one day!ReplyDelete
Nice solid looking watch, classic design!ReplyDelete
I love these watches! Excellent watch for the money, in my opinion. Interestingly enough, I had just decided that this watch was going to be my next purchase! Well, the blue faced model with the black bezel. But I love all the configurations. Awesome giveaway, Thanks!ReplyDelete
Really like that watch, would look great on my wrist :)ReplyDelete

Awesome diver - love the hour markers n' the hands!ReplyDelete
The Artego 500M seems to be every bit as elegant and worthy of tool usage as the 300M, but with 200m to spare! Clean lines and great contrast on the dial makes this watch a must have for real watch fans!ReplyDelete
Good nice diver watch.I like it.ReplyDelete
Looks every in the tool watch!ReplyDelete
Love the classic, clean Diver style of this Artego.ReplyDelete
Nice modern classc design.ReplyDelete
Stunning watch. I particularly like the hour markers on the dial - very reminescent of those of the Seamaster Pro 300m, as well as the oversized minute hand.ReplyDelete
Looks indistructible.
In the end, a great tool watch that will surely perform admirably.
Keep up the good work Artego and a special thanks to Oceanic Time for its wonderful giveaways!
Love the hands and lume!ReplyDelete
Would love to win this watch - I have been saving for my #1 dive watch for almost half a year - but still missing quite a bit... Thanks for opportunity anyhow!:)ReplyDelete
Very nice looking watch. I like the hands.ReplyDelete
This watch is fabulous, I love the lumed dots and the hands, the classic and modern feeling ! I really wish to take it with me inside the deepest pool of the world for making a little test before traveling other destinations !ReplyDelete

Nice, simple vintage style design.ReplyDelete
Nice clean design and rugged movement - I like it!ReplyDelete
Sweet steel, cool mannered diver that listens to name that brings back memories of the musketeers times three.ReplyDelete
All for one and one for me please!
I really would love to own one of these. Let's be honest: I want to win!ReplyDelete
The 500m is gorgeous. I lusted after the 300m for a while but could never muster up the funds for one (being a poor grad student and all...)ReplyDeleteReplies
Very nice watch. The classic design on a solid caseDelete
Classic yet rugged looking watch. Definitely a daily wearer. Nice Watch!ReplyDelete
The Artego 500M Diver is an exquisite piece, one I need to get my hands on!ReplyDelete
I had 300M and I regret I sold it.ReplyDelete
At the other hand I think 500M looks even better and I wish to have one at my wirst.
I love dive watches and when I think of a dive watch, this is the watch I see! Classic lines, the bright orange minute hand to help save me from being down too long, and an overall look that tells people "Hey, he dives!" I've wanted an Artego 500m for some time and hopefully, I will be wearing this one soon!ReplyDelete
Wish me luck!!! :)
Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Love the classic looking watch case, its built and the hands!
Very Nice watch. Looks great!ReplyDelete
I love dive watches and this watch just screams classic.ReplyDelete
That watch is the boss.ReplyDelete
While it is still the same case design as 300m I think the 500m is now more toolish. 500m bracelet has bigger screws and now in all links, awesome.ReplyDelete
The case: the 500m is 2mm shorther than the 300m, case 45mm - bezel is 44mm – perfect combination, crown at 3 looks much better – Beautiful
Bezel - Numbers are now thinner and sharper and on the black bezel lume filled, another +
The dial: 500m has no dial ring and no minute marks, imo the dial makes the now smaller watch appear bigger, clean, easy to read and excellent lume.
One of my favorite diver watches, amazing diving tool.

Great watch ! Very beautiful and classical. I like the diver hand.ReplyDelete
Great job, I want one !
Simple. Classic. Now I just need one on my wrist. =)ReplyDelete
I need to get into the gym. One of these watches may be just the thing I need to get my biceps back into shape. Maybe two...ReplyDelete
Nice one, love a big nice solid diver with ss braclet.ReplyDelete
Awesome the watch looks verry clean and the dial is verry easy to read,love the bezel in brushed stainless steel,looks tough.The watch is not so big im sure its verry comfortable to dive with...From my point of view the watch looks verry solid.ReplyDelete
This is a really beautiful timepiece. Great amount of luminecent material used at the hour markers will provide great visibility at night. The fact it comes with the black rubber strap and the stainless steel bracelet it awesome. I'm really interested in the anti reflective material on the inside of the watch. This watch is a beautiful piece of art. I would be honored to own it and show it off often.ReplyDelete
The best vintage diver in perfect sice, robust for what ever you do - not only diving!ReplyDelete
From an idea to stunning workmanship and flawless engineering. A dive watch that one could be proud of. Being a disabled Navy vet that still enjoys diving and will not just rely on a dive computer alone, this time piece would be a very nice birthday gift (9-15-55). Thank you for the give away.ReplyDelete
excellent looking watch. I am unfamiliar with the brand, then again that is why I read this blog so I can familiarize myself with these brandsReplyDelete
I really like this design, classy looking!ReplyDelete
This model has a very nice,clean design. It combines many vintage design elements and features. (plongeur, cushion-style case, dial minute markers)ReplyDelete

No, you'll have to wait your turn! ;-)
Join me down into the deep...ReplyDelete
The Artego 500m has the look of a vintage, 70's style divers watch. The clean tonneau shaped case and plonguer minute hand remind me of the Stowa seatime prodiver. This Artego is a keeper.ReplyDelete

Absolutely love Artego. Great watch and a beautiful hunk of steel.ReplyDelete
Artego provides quality dive watches which present a simplicity and authenticity of design matched with a sturdy workhorse mechanism generally associated with watches twice the price.ReplyDelete
Simple and understated, but the orange really gives it a nice subtle flair.ReplyDelete
There is time for everything in life. But for 500m deep, there is only time for ARTEGO.ReplyDelete
Bold,classy, rugged.
Super clean dial and bold hands - must be easy to read with just a glance.ReplyDelete
I like the simplicity in that it looks tough without needing to oversell the fact with countless visible screws to reinforce the point. Love how clean it is in general.ReplyDelete
Beautiful watch Artego. Nice hands & uncluttered dial.ReplyDelete
Thsanks for the giveaway of this cool diver!ReplyDelete

I bet it would look great on a mesh bracelet.ReplyDelete
Big clean markings, easy to read. I like it.ReplyDelete
Love the design of the ARTEGO 500M Diver. It looks like a true classic diver's watch!ReplyDelete

PopUpFestival 2011 @PopUpFestival @LeviPinfold @jonesgarethp0July 2nd, 2011Literacy
On Friday, July 1st I had the honor of spending the day with director of the Pop Up Festival Dylan Calder. With a sponsored train ticket from London Midlands, I was able to see three amazing authors as they inspired 3 different classes from 3 different schools at 3 different events in one day.
I originally heard about Pop Up Festival when we attended the Children's Laureate announcement as they had two Pop Up Festival Ambassadors at the BookTrust event. I was able to talk to them and their usher for the day and that is when I found out about this incredible literacy program which works with inner city schools over several months with the assistance of, well, a lot of people (authors, illustrators, publishers, volunteers, etc).
The premises is schools are invited to choose a book they would like their class(es) to work with. The teacher is then provided with assistance/resources to help with getting the kids to really digest the book – this could be in form of workshops, creating design & technology lessons, etc. The culmination is the children then being invited off site (really cool off-sites like the British Library or Foundling Museum) to meet the author and discuss what they learn and for the author to also learn what the kids learnt from their books.
At the end there is a huge two-day event called Festival of stories that has so many amazing authors and activities that I would challenge anyone to not find at least one activity that didn't amuse them!
This Post is about my Day with Pop Up Festival (click Read More).
I met Dylan at the Foundling Museum. The children arrived early as they were so excited about meeting the wonderful Beverley Naidoo. I must admit that I hadn't had time to read any of the books the authors would be talking about but this was sort of done on purpose as I wanted to see the type of information the kids could provide – basically, I was a blank canvas.
Beverley was such an inspiration. The class spent the first hour with Beverley in the education room where she brought her book Journey to Jo'burg to life. This book dealt with challenging topics such as apartheid and being an orphan. I tweeted throughout as I was so impressed with how Beverley brought this book to life with pictures, stories from her own childhood in South Africa and encouraging the children to express their own thoughts and feelings on the subject.
My Tweets:
.@PopUpFestival Beverley Naidoo getting class thinking about connection of the book to the Foundling Museum. Great conversation!
.@PopUpFestival Beverly Naidoo – pupils really know this story and can not only retell it but use some modern day examples. Fascinating.
.@PopUpFestival Beverley having Q&A now. Pupils asking brilliant questions about book but also about Beverley. Lovely engaging conversation.
Unfortunately, Dylan and I had to leave after the first hour as the next event with a different school was about to start but I can truly say it was an honour to have met Beverley before we left. She was a true inspiration to the pupils and to me!
On the way to our next event, Dylan and I were able to have a great conversation about PopUp Festival. This event is something I think could really work locally (West Midlands) but from that one event, and from speaking to the teacher and some of the volunteers, it's obvious that a lot of work is involved. However, Dylan and I were able to bounce ideas off each other which was really beneficial. I would ideally like to see the literacy linked with local museums (something they do strive for also).
The next event was just as amazing but on a different level. It was with the incredibly talented Levi Pinfold. Due to a miscommunication, the event had already started when we arrived at Free Word. Again, I had no prior knowledge of Levi's work so when we walked in and I saw a class of about 28 kids laughing and drawing and having extraordinary conversations in their groups, I knew I was going to enjoy this session. Straight away, the kids started telling me they were drawing 'characters' for a book. 'What book?' I asked. 'Any!' was the reply. And this is where Levi is a genius – his engagement level with the kids was absolutely astounding. Yes he had the kids drawing but all the time they were drawing he was pushing them – challenging them to think further than pen to paper. Where do they live? What do they eat? What job would they have? All these questions being asked but then he did something that the pupils *loved*. He went around and listened to their answers.
The teacher explained that the class really loved being part of the Pop Up Festival and they really connected with the book. This was evident during the Question and Answer session when Levi was quite impressed with the research that was done prior to this event. They even knew where he lived!
I was fortunate enough to have lunch with Dylan, Levi and Levi's publisher where we had an extended conversation and discuss the work that goes into his breath-taking illustration. I also asked about his take on Pop Up Festival and he was clearly honoured to be part of the festival.
Afterwards, Dylan and I made our way to the British Library to see the brilliant Gareth P Jones. This event worked differently in that the children were seeing the Out of This World exhibition first with a facilitator of the British Library prior to meeting the author. Again, I was so impressed with the dialogue the pupils were using, and this was clearly due to the environment (eg British Library). The children were being asked to think outside the box.
@PopUpFestival Kids now being shown Out of this World exhibit and being encouraged to think of times etc. Get response. @BritishLibrary
.@PopUpFestival Really amazed at the vocabulary being used by
pupils: parallel universe, continuous time. facilitator led @britishLibrary
Sadly, I couldn't stay for the actual event as I had to catch the train back but heard nothing but positive about it afterwards. I was able to stay long enough for the class to come into the room and you could see the immediate excitement on their faces when they saw Gareth there. One child was brought to Gareth as he was a huge huge fan and the teacher must have promised a personal meet and greet. It was very heart-warming and again, very inspiring to see the pupils so excited about an author.
Initially, I had no idea if this event could work in the West Midlands or if so, could it work with our local museums/art galleries. The resounding answer is absolutely! The crucial objective would be to ensure there is a proper balance between authors, pupils and cultural venue. There is a lot of work involved, and perhaps it wouldn't need to be as large as the London based one but this is something that Dylan and his team could look into franchising. The sooner, the better.Tags: Literacy, London, popupfestival

Spring officially arrived at Studio McFarlane today. The light in the photo wasn't quite as intense as it appears above, but it sure felt like it. It was just warm enough to take the plastic off of the windows and to have them open into the evening...

'Barkley L. Hendricks: Heart Hands Eyes Mind' at Jack Shainman Gallery | GalleristNY
I wish that I'd known a little earlier about Barkley L. Hendricks's show, "Heart, Hands, Eyes, Mind", at Jack Shainman Gallery. It ends on April 6th, but if you're up in NYC over the next week, it looks like a good show to catch. It features both new and old paintings, as well as some of Hendricks's photography.

Studio 3.20.13
Acrylic medium (with paint flow)
Yesterday was an off day in the studio. I knew it was going to be off almost as soon as I arrived. We all have our routines and mine is to come in, change out from my street clothes into my painting clothes, put some music on, and get to work. I did the first two but instead of jumping into what I wanted to work on, I grabbed a chair, sat staring at my painting wall and yawned a good, long, I-need-to-take-a-nap yawn. I needed that nap because I didn't sleep well at all last night. So, I sat there pondering my next move. I took a look at the last completed pieces, collected my thoughts finally got to work.
I've been scaling up some new ideas from small paintings and wanted to make a more committed effort with today's canvas. Well, the effort was there, if not any tangible progress. The main issue was with me grappling with some color choices that just did not work at all. I mean, I consider myself fairly adventurous at times with color, but yesterday was NOT my day, not by a long stretch. I'm going to blame it on my brain being addled from insufficient sleep, which was really the case. I could tell that my decision-making process was all kinds of off, but I plowed ahead anyway, as you do.
All wasn't lost, as I did learn something from this situation, which is something I always try to take away from all of my trials and errors in the studio. What I figured out was that for this new work, I need to be more specific about some of my choices, narrowing the options down until I get a handle on what it is that I'm trying to do and expand from there.

Steve Brock rocks!/
All of this on-line searching reminds me that my friend and hero, Fr Stephen L. Brock, has a webpage at the website for the Philosophy Faculty at the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce, the Opus Dei university in Rome. Fr Brock and I were school-mates in Toronto. His webpage has a list of his many publications, for most of which you can download PDF versions of the article. In fact, there is a PDF file of his important doctoral dissertation, defended back in the stone-age of the Internet (1988): The Legal Character of Natural Law according to St. Thomas Aquinas.
The articles you'll find are primarily in the fields of ethics and metaphysics, as well as some reviews he has done of others' writings. Helpfully the downloaded PDFs agree with the pagination of the journals in which the article or review appeared, such that you can download the PDF and use it, citing its pagination.

Originally published December 23, 2012
In Harnessing Innovation Through More Knowledge, I pointed out that the best way of dealing with the dilemmas of technology innovation is through more innovation and knowledge. We need to have knowledge of the basics of technology, its use and the context.
So in the end, I am a technology optimist. I have to be. Technology is our evolutionary path, even as a species. Technology pessimism means there is no future, no perspective. I believe technological innovation should be encouraged, sponsored, and enabled with every means possible because it can bring so much good to humanity. We should know as much as we can about it, and then some, as Manfred Eigen suggests.
Exactly this, however, is a realistic concern. Unlike in the Age of Reason, most of us no longer believe we can think everything through. The rationality of human beings has clear boundaries. In our actions and in our decision making, we are driven by more primal needs. We simply do not have the capacity to think through the consequences of our actions because there are too many variables. We tend to be structurally overconfident in our own abilities. Every individual has his own frame of mind, and total perspective on a matter is rare, if not impossible.
Manfred Eigen argued for more knowledge. I interpret that in various ways, understanding the basics, understanding the use of systems and understanding the context. Perhaps the most important understanding of context is to realize that we dont know the consequences of technology innovation. Socrates got it right when he explained that the one reason he could think of why people called him wise was that at least he realized he didnt know, where others thought they knew.
In conclusion, there are no simple answers here (most likely not even complex answers). Partly we will simply learn by suffering the consequences, like the effect of nuclear weapons. Sometimes we will discover that something good can come out of it. Some will claim that nuclear energy is a good source of energy; however, after the Fukushima accident in Japan in 2011, that group has shrunk. Sometimes something bad will come out of inventions aimed for the good, like side effects of certain medications. This is what the consequentialists will propose as the way forward.
The universalists demand to know the rules up front. If we know that a certain cure can kill as well, we should keep searching for one that doesnt. If we can imagine a scenario that cars driven by computers instead of humans can lead to horrible accidents, we should first use technologies like this in more restricted environments to completely test them before selling them as a commercial product.
Both universalists and consequentialists will agree that the way forward is in public discourse. An open debate. Simply banning stem cell research is not the answer, but instructing scientists to organize open public debate as part of the research procedure can be. On a case-by-case basis as a community, we need to build an understanding as much as we humanly can about the role technology plays in our society. Sometimes we make mistakes, and we learn. Sometimes, when society is uncomfortable, we need to delay and continue the discussion, as much as the scientists want to continue (which I think is better than just saying no, as the same research will pop up elsewhere anyway). And sometimes, well get it right. Form your opinion, voice it, and keep an open mind.
Read. Listen. Talk. Write.

David Ludwig, a childhood obesity specialist at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School, is cheered by Michelle Obama's obesity initiative: "The obesity epidemic isn't [due to] a lack of knowledge. It's a lack of political will in Washington." That includes reluctance to push for
high-quality food in schools, have farm subsidies that are in line with public health and not special interests, and make healthy foods available to low-income neighborhoods, Ludwig says. "There's certainly room for discussion among the experts" about how best to tackle all this. But Obama's campaign "offers a promise of ending this paralysis" and Ludwig says he's hopeful it will. Others are not as sanguine.

Wow. I have fallen to the terrible tropical fever known as 'Sleeping All Day' Syndrome.
It is extremely easy to fall prey to this fever, especially if you don't have to worry about a job, or any sort of time-sensitive endeavor.
Unfortunately, we own ten cats.
When I woke up and came out of my room today, I was attacked by at least six furry, meowing, twisting bodies…like a hungry swarm of soft, tame sharks writhing in between my feet and around my legs… wishing they could murder me, but knowing I'm the only one in the house today that can open the precious, magical food door of awesomeness.
I took care of them, took care of myself with noodles and coffee, and settled in to write a new bloggity.
It's nice to have a hobby again, writing is one of those things I used to do in notebooks, for myself, and for little-to-no purpose, but now I get to feel like people may actually derive entertainment from my writing!
So yes.
You did, in fact read that correctly.
Ten cats, two dogs.
Damon and I have this mutual problem, where if we see a teensy motherless, mewling mess on the side of the road, we have an obsessive compulsion to pick it up and let it slowly start to crawl its way into our moldy old hearts.
More than likely a result of the parasites each one probably carries, this strange burrowing behavior takes root within seconds, and cannot be reversed… Especially if the cat in question is smaller than your average sandwich.
So needless to say, since I arrived, we've succumbed five times to this effect.
The good part about what we do, however, is that we spay and neuter the cats that we rescue, de-worm them, clean them all up, and give them a safe place to call home.
It is ridiculously common in the Philippines to see abandoned animals on the sides of the roads.
The main problem is that cats and dogs are seen more of nuisances, alarm systems, and work animals rather than pets. On top of that, it is considered bad luck to kill cats, so many just leave them somewhere to starve and die naturally, or they get run over by cars… Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose.
Damon's mom, Donna tell us that the stray-cat-saving needs to stop, and that we can't take in any more, it's getting too expensive, etc, etc, blah, blah… But every few months, we manage to sneak another into the group while she's away teaching… It makes me feel like an Underground Railway operator sometimes – Ha!
I set up a Facebook page for it about a month ago, but I don't update it as regularly as this blog, simply because life with cats is pretty much the same thing every day… They attack you for food, they eat, they leave for the day or sleep, at night they tear around the house beating each other up, they sleep, and then the next day begins… But I suppose if people are interested in seeing their pictures, I will post the link below.

"Krystal is one of the most unique and talented massage therapists I've ever been to. I have had massages at 5 star resorts, in other countries, and highly rated spas. She definitely is at the top of the list! She has a strong intuition for healing and the most solid base of knowledge about the body's physical structure I've ever hear. I feel very fortunate to be a regular client of Krystal's."
"I can't believe how quick EMDR therapy works! After the first session the memory already felt very distant and not as painful. Even when I try to think about what happened to me now it is hard to bring it up. I don't feel stuck anymore like I used too. I don't know how it worked but it did! I cant thank you enough Lemecia."
"After being diagnosed with MS, I was encouraged to try acupuncture as a last resort as my body rejected all MS medication. I was hesitant at first, as I thought I had "too many problems to fix." After meeting Megan the first time, I immediately felt a connection with her. She was a wonderful listener, was very knowledgeable and did not seem overwhelmed from my long list of symptoms. After my first treatment, I noticed changes immediately and I was hooked! She has helped with my pain, fatigue, muscle spasms, and many other physical problems. What I also like about Megan is that she treats your mental/emotional health as well and promotes the mind/body connection. No problem is too big or too small for Megan. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met! I recently had another MRI and there were no new lesions and I am still free from medication! I am living proof that acupuncture can change your life. Thank you Megan for helping me more than I could ever imagine!"

This week has been different. After about a month of extended vacation, I started my job at the Hyatt. My title is Regency Club Attendant. A.K.A Dishwasher in a concierge disguise. I clean up breakfast in the VIP lounge at the hotel. I wash a ton of breakfast plates and coffee mugs. Along with bussing dishes I get to practice my japanese. I get to tell them "ohio gazaimas! Wercome to da legency crub Rounge." (Regency club Lounge). I have to leave our house at 5 Am to get there and I am done by 12. So it leaves plenty of time to surf. Big swell moving in the next few days and we are supposed to have consistent head high surf. It will make for an exhausting week of surf and work. We are stoked for Aaron and Aimee to get here this week. It will be a party.

The Daily Journal quoted Associate Dean Martin Pritikin in an article the Legal Aid Society of Orange County's incubator program for recent law school graduates.
The ability to help graduates with that side of being lawyers is another reason legal aid-law school cooperation is a good idea, Whittier's Pritikin said.
"Legal Aid doesn't have experience in training recent grads in law office practice," he said. "Law schools could provide mentors [from their alumni] to give that business insight."

Weight Loss Plateau
Most people underestimate the importance that your diet plays in weight loss. Do not forget that even a small quantity of weight loss can lead to massive well being benefits. Quick eaters gain more weight over time. To achieve her objective of a 500-calorie-per-day financial savings, she provides some exercise. For instance, a one hundred seventy-pound one that spends 45 minutes strolling briskly will burn about 300 energy.
Since a highly restrictive eating regimen is almost impossible to take care of for a very long time, people who attempt to starve themselves skinny usually start to gain weight again after they cease weight-reduction plan and resume their former consuming habits.
That is, merely, to eat fewer energy than you require for you present physique weight. A one hundred-pound particular person requires much less vitality (food) to take care of physique weight than a person who weighs 200 kilos. There are lots of great instruments you should utilize to track the quantity of energy you're eating.
This will trigger weight loss. It must be famous that reduction in weight for those who are obese could make a serious impression on the health situations listed above. There's nothing worse than regaining the burden that took you an enormous amount of onerous work and patience to lose.
While nothing is totally forbidden, whenever you do succumb to temptation, preserve the portion measurement small and add a bit more train to your each day exercise. Make sure to not skip meals, and always have some wholesome low fats snacks on hand.

Human rights organisations continue to document claims of beatings, intimidation and false confessions under torture.US President Barack Obama said in his Middle East speech that "Bahrain is a longstanding partner and we are committed to its security." The US president also praised the role of the opposition figures in the country. However, for many this reaction has come too late.Al Jazeera interviewed Mattar Ibrahim, an opposition figure, the day before he disappeared. He was excited about the invitation he had to meet US embassy officials. His wife says he was snatched from his car by armed masked on May the 2nd. She has not seen or heard from him since.For Bahrain's Shia-led protesters their demands for political reform have so far been ignored by Washington. They say US support for similar political reforms in Egypt and Tunisia came far sooner.Many will no doubt think that Obama's statements are still quieter in comparison and have come far too late.Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford reports.

Like pay up now or really pay up later type threats. LOL How do you know they will not do more damage if they come on to or into your property? I am thinking something that is not easily identified at first but causes problems later? Like watered down pesticide or just plain water/no pesticide? So that way you end up with no protection but don't know it till down the road?
I suggest calling the state licensing board for your state and/or your state's consumer protection board and let them know what is going on. They made be able to intercede and get you some relief. I would also start taking down names of everyone I talk to in person/phone and anyone who steps on my property. Their paper work should have some sort of state license number. Do they even have a current license?

For as long as I can remember, I have had a weird relationship with makeup. This is a post that I've written many times, and a subject that I talk on and off about, but I wanted to revisit it now. As someone who now wears light makeup everyday to work and has now come to view my face as looking messy and unattractive without it, I needed to revisit it – more for myself, rather than anyone else. The mindset that is starting to develop around my use of makeup today worries me, because after years of rarely using makeup as I a) couldn't be bothered to spend so much time and money on it and b) not thinking it necessary, I'm now struggling to figure out how I feel about it all.
When I was a teenager, I had incredibly bad acne which in turn made me extremely self-conscious. Part of me thinks that a lot of my problems might have been solved if someone had shown me how to use makeup to cover up all the flaws and insecurities that branded my face. If I had known that it would only take a few dabs of concealer to cover up the worst of it, I like to think that I would have been far more confident in my day-to-day life.
The other part of me is grateful that I didn't wear makeup, as I'm certain the reason my skin is good most days now is because I didn't clog up my pores with foundation every day during puberty. I'm very much of the belief that makeup is yet another commodity sold by the media to women in a society where still women are made to feel that their best asset is their beauty. Businesses manipulate women into buying makeup by playing off those insecurities that are practically bred into every little girl to think that to be beautiful is what is most important.
I suppose that's one reason that has been in the background of my thoughts toward makeup. Not wearing makeup was as much as a declaration as wearing makeup was, and by deciding for myself that I wasn't going to wear any made me feel stronger and confident in a way that makeup didn't. Makeup was a crutch, in my mind, and a crutch that society was telling me that I needed.
But just because I had made my mind up about this by no means meant that others had the same approach. Whilst in my head I was telling myself that makeup was a means of expression and should be optional, not mandatory, others may well have been looking at me thinking that I didn't look polished or pretty. Or, better yet, thinking that I could be pretty if only I put some effort into it. And how damaging is that? Beauty is a standard set, one that we can never truly obtain – once you use makeup, you're encouraged to use more and more until you leave the house wearing a different layer of skin.
Family members would tell me before interviews, all meaning well, that I should definitely wear some makeup to look more 'professional'. They were essentially telling me that if I didn't wear makeup, I would look like a slob. As if makeup was no longer a choice, but an expectation that I was meant to fulfil in order to get a job. And once I got the job? I felt so much pressure to keep up a good appearance that I started wearing makeup everyday, which brings me to now. Whilst I don't wear a lot of makeup, everyday I make time to put on concealer and powder, to wear some mascara and blush to make myself look better. Whereas in my last job I rarely used makeup, not at all concerned about not wearing it, I now look at my skin and think that it doesn't look nice without it.
This was the mindset and outlook that I was scared shitless of obtaining, like it was some sort of plague sweeping across the nation which I had somehow managed to avoid. Is it not outdated, believing that women have to wear makeup in formal situations? If you saw a man and a woman with pimples on their chins, would you only think that the woman looked bad as she wasn't even trying to cover them in makeup? Would she look sloppy, whereas he maintained a professional appearance? Would a man be judged for having bags under his eyes?
I stand by my belief that makeup should be something for the individual, something you choose to wear to express yourself, to show off your creativity and flair. It shouldn't be a requirement, and nobody should make you feel like it is. I shouldn't be viewed as seeming sickly, lazy, or untidy simply because I didn't want to spend time that morning caking my face in products for other people's benefit.
So now I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Stop wearing makeup and feel insecure again, or continue wearing it saying that I personally prefer having it? It's a statement either way, and I'm so terrified of making the wrong one. After years of feeling like not wearing makeup was part of my identity, am I now betraying my past self by caving to its appeal? Am I caving to the societal pressure and belief that makeup will make me look far better? That my own skin is just not enough?
It's a maze I have been unable to navigate thus far. My feelings and emotions are conflicted, feeling attacked when people tell me I should wear makeup, as if they are saying I'm ugly instead. As if they're saying that nobody would want me, be it to hire me in a job or to date me romantically, if I didn't wear makeup. It's a conversation and discussion that seems to have been going on for so long, that there can't possibly be any sort of end in sight. It's a conversation I'm sure I'll be participating in for many more years, one where I wish I knew what the conclusion will be.

Mezcal Vago Tobalá en Barro
The Mezcal Vago Tobalá en Barro is made by Salomon Rey Rodriguez (Tio Rey) in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca (16°28'44.72"N 96°57'42.80"W).
The Agave Tobalá is generally the most coveted of all the agave species in Oaxaca. It is a small, difficult to cultivate agave, and has very distinct flavor characteristics. There are many references to the prized Tobalá in Oaxacan culture. Its Latin name is Agave Potatorum.
The Tobalá en Barro has a totally unique flavor, partly because the agaves used for this mezcal were planted in 1996 making them 17-18 years mature when they were harvested. There is such a small amount of this particular ripe agave that Mezcal Vago can only source 200 bottles a year and only for a couple of more years. However, Tío Rey just planted 40,000 more Tobalá!
The Mezcal Vago Tobalá en Barro is our most prized Mezcal. The combination of 17 year old Tobalá plants with the ancient Olla de Barro techniques of Tío Rey result in an unbelievably unique spirit. The elegance of Tio Reys mature, cultivated Tobalá coupled with the earthy, minerality of the Olla de Barro distillation produces a complex and deep flavor and body. Add the hand of Tío Rey and his unique spring water and the result is magical. Turning heads in aficionado communities around the world, this spirit is in a class of its own.
Producer: Salomón Rey Rodriguez
Location: Sola de Vega, Oaxaca
The palenque and agave fields of Salomón Rey Rodriguez or "Tío Rey" (Uncle Rey) are located in the famous mezcal region Sola de Vega. The mezcaleros in this region distill mezcal almost exclusively using clay pots "Olla de Barro".
Tío Rey's town of Gulerá is about 15 minutes up the valley and is part of the municipality Villas Sola de Vega. The lush mountain valley is a 2.5-hour drive from Oaxaca and sits at 1450 M above sea level.
Tío Rey has a great supply of spring water that flows year round and contributes to the unique flavor of his mezcals. The mineral rich soil and relatively cooler climate make for a perfect spot for growing a variety of agaves. Sola de Vega has the most diversity of agave in Oaxaca and therefore the world. Salomón Rey has at least 15 varieties of agave that he cultivates, including: Espadín, Coyote, Arroqueño, Mexicano, Tobalá, Sierra Negra, Madre Cuixe and Barril.
Sola de Vega agave maturation times:
Espadín - 7 -12 years
Mexicano - 7- 12 years
Arroqueño - 9 - 25 years
Coyote - 5 - 10 years
Sierra Negra 10 -25 Years
Tobalá - 8 - 18 Years
The palenque (distillery) is at Tío Rey's ranch where he lives full time with his family. He built it approximately 10 years ago from parts of an older palenque that was his fathers. It moved around from nearby locations over the years. The lineage of mezcaleros in Tío Rey's family could arguably go back thousands of years.
Tío Rey has never produced mezcal commercially before Mezcal Vago and produces exclusively for Mezcal Vago.
Tío Rey's batch sizes are generally from 100 liters to 450 liters. He has two classic earthen ovens that can each hold around three tons. One oven is the normal dug out hole in the ground and lined with large river rocks and the other is dug straight into bedrock. He roasts each batch for 2 to 3 days.
The cooked agave is hand ground with wooden mallets called canoas y masos. The roasted piñas are chopped slightly with a machete then the pieces are placed on a wooden platform and pounded with the mallets. An incredibly laborious technique but they are sure the flavor is better this way when not molested by such modern technology as a cement wheel and horse!
Tío Rey has three fermentation vats. Two are typical vats, cylindrical and made from pine. The third is made from the trunk of a large Pino Sabino (Pine tree) hollowed out in the shape of a canoe and has been in use for 90 years!
For distillation, Tío Rey uses a series of clay pots. The clay pots are called "Oll de Barro" in Spanish. That is why Mezcal Vago refers to its mezcals that are distilled in this manner as "en Barro." They hold about 50 liters each. Each pair of pots shares a fire. The stills are made of stacks of two pots. One that holds the mash and has an open top, and another with an open bottom that rests on top of the first one. On the top pot there is an upside-down stainless steel bowl that water continually runs in and out of. When the heat from the mash rises and hits the cool top created by the water, condensation occurs. An agave leaf works as a large spoon to catch the dripping condensation (mezcal) and runs into a reed that flows the mezcal into the collection container.
This whole process is laborious and takes around 4 times the effort of a copper still and stone tahona method. Tío Rey never adds water to his mezcal post distillation. Cuts are made by taste and smell.
All of Tío Rey's Mezcal go through a simple triple sediment filtration through tubular cellulose filters. The bottling is done by hand in the city of Oaxaca. The light filtration is the only way the mezcal is affected between how it was made on the palenque and how it ends up in the bottle.

Typhoon Yolanda: The Move to Tacloban/
Yesterday, I did laundry by hand and hung it up. Today it is still wet. We were packing up today to go to Tacloban. By the way, if you are travelling, the best way to pack is to roll your clothes and put them in baggies. You never know when you might be crossing a river or if your laundry won't dry.
While we waited for the truck to come back and transport us, we played "bocce" with marbles in the parking area. I really enjoy the guys that I'm deployed with. I couldn't ask for a better team. They are eager to serve and they put others first. I felt a little bad beating them in marble bocce, but not much.
When we arrive in Tacloban we went directly to EVMRC Hospital where the Department of Health is based. Since we are supporting the existing DOH infrastructure, we got supplies from them for the Municipalities south of Tacloban where we have been working. The halls were busy with patients and staff. People were waiting in lines to receive care. There was no power on so the halls were dim and some of the rooms were dark. We were led to the supply room where we met a doctor and his two assistants. With my little 9-volt flashlight we went from box to box pulling out various medications and putting them into a couple of dilapidated cardboard boxes. We were happy to get antibiotics. We've seen several cases of severe scabies with secondary cellulitis so I was happy to be able to get some of the creams that we needed to treat the scabies and the antibiotics to treat the infections. We also grabbed quite a few packets of ORS (oral rehydration solution) packets in case the number of cases of vomiting and diarrhea increases. Despite the challenging conditions, the doctor and his staff were doing an amazing job of distribution. We signed out our supplies and were on our way.
Next stop, Philip's RTR Hospital where we planned to spend the night. The moment we walked in the door, we were met by Ginggay Hontiveros, the President of Med Central (the organization that runs RTR Hospital and many free standing clinics throughout the Philippines). Her leadership and organization skills were apparent as was her friendly and welcoming heart. She immediately deployed us. We dropped our personal bags in the tile lobby of the hospital where their command post was located. There were several white boards up displaying Ginggay's very methodical system to deploy teams throughout the region. There were also messages for the teams as they were going out. They said things like, "Tetanus shot vials - available at the pharmacy at storage (back) 1 vial per team going out." or "Pls be informed that water is available only in the following schedule, this is to avoid damage to our water facilities. Sorry for the inconvenience. Morning: 6-9 am, Afternoon: 5-9PM."
They paired us with some of their staff including a woman from the Congressman's office and a medical intern. We grabbed some supplies and piled onto the full sized, white bus. It is amazing where one of those buses can go! We traveled for about 45 minutes but it wasn't long before there weren't any roads. As we bumped and trashed along, eventually we were blocked by several coconut trees across the path (and I do mean path). We were several miles away from a place where we could turn the bus around. Now, you have to understand that Dan and Rob are both firemen and they drive firetrucks. They started thinking, "Well, It might take a while but I can back this baby up and get us out of here." After offering to "help" our driver, they were a bit humbled as he backed it up into the bushes and actually turned the beast around! I must admit, even my jaw dropped. I was certain that he would get stuck and we would be stranded for days.
A 27 year old woman that spoke English as well as I did came over and introduced herself. Maryann carrying a machete that looked more like a long ninja sword. She explained that she had been out whacking coconut trees trying to clear the path and help her village. She told me that she "needed to get some exercise". She looked more like 17 than 27. She not only spoke English but she told us that she could also speak fluent Arabic because she lived there as a caregiver for a while. Needless to say, she was my interpreter for the day. (Of course, we felt compelled to sing the song from Gillighan's island for her.) With the bus still perpendicular to the path, we unloaded, set up a couple of tents and held clinic. It seemed that most of the barangay turned out for the big event. The barangay captain got out his machete and cut the branches off one of the coconut trees that was partially blocking the area where we were about to set up. Patients lined up for a several hours and we didn't stop until all that wanted to be seen received care. The most sick were carried across the river by others to come and see us. I saw several patients that were struggling with severe anxiety since the typhoon. They were so gracious and kind. Dr. Carl, Rob, Dan and I saw 214 patients all together. As we drove off, it was so rewarding to see the smiles on their faces as they waved goodbye. This was the first medical care that they had received since the storm 16 days ago.
The driver fired up the engine and, without any difficulty whatsoever, was able to get back on the path and get us safely back to base at RTR Hospital. As we arrived, there was a delegation from a Chinese hospital ship that drove up with a formal welcome and media attention. We checked in and were assigned a room with two doors. Actually, there was only one door left. The other had been broken off at the hinges, presumably from the high winds. The windows were all broken out but the room had been swept clean. Hospitality abounds in this place. We were given some rice and chicken and then we set up our room. We strung up some ropes across the room and tried, once again, to dry out laundry. We also put up mosquito netting to try to decrease the risk of Malaria. Once again we had toilets with flushing water but they didn't have any lids to sit on. No big deal. I'll take a flush toilet over one with a lid any day.
We all felt like we were able to make a difference today. We touched some people and brought them hope.

Local Area Networks Explained
What is a LAN?
Definition: LAN stands for Local Area Network. It is a relatively small network (compared to a WAN) covering small areas like a room, an office, a building, a campus, etc.
Most LANs today run under Ethernet, which is a protocol that controls how data is transferred between one machine to another on the network. However, with the advent of wireless network, more and more LANs are becoming wireless and are known as WLANs, wireless local area networks. the main protocol governing connection and transfer between WLANs is the well-known WiFi protocol. Wireless LANs can also run with Bluetooth technology, but it is quite limited.
If you connect two computers for sharing data, you have a LAN. The number of computers connected on a LAN may be up to several hundred, but most of the time, LANs are made up of more or less a dozen machines, as the idea behind a LAN is to cover a small area.
To connect two computers, you may only link them using a cable. If you want to connect more, then you need a special device called a hub, which acts as a distribution and link point. Cables from the different computers' LAN cards meet at the hub. If you want to connect your LAN to the Internet or to a wide area network, then you need a router instead of a hub. Using a hub is the most common and easiest way of setting up a LAN. There are however other network layouts, called topologies. Read more on topologies and network design at this link.
You don't necessarily have only computers on a LAN. You can also connect printers and other devices which you can share. For instance, if you connect a printer on a LAN and configure it to be shared among all users on the LAN, print jobs can be sent to that printer from all computers on the LAN.
Why Do We Use LANs?
There are several reasons for which companies and organizations invest in LANs in their premises. Among them are:
- Faster communication and sharing of files and other resources among workers and collaborators.
- Centralization of information systems. For example, in a hospital, a LAN will allow one central database to be accessed from all departments such that there is no duplication of data, there is no redundancy, and more importantly, there is perfect consistency in data.
- LANs allow expensive hardware to be shared, as explained above.
- LANs allow users to share software licenses, for uniformity and cost-saving.
Requirements For Setting Up a LAN
- Computers and devices equipped with the proper NIC (network interface cards). For example, and Ethernet LAN will require all devices to have Ethernet cards or adapters for the cable to connect. WiFi network requires all devices to have a WiFi adapter.
- A central device, such as a hub, router, bridge or gateway.
- Connecting cables in case the LAN is wired.
- LAN management software. Modern operating system already have utility software for proper management of networks.

text: If as the new comprehensive UN report claims, North Korea's regime is a criminal one, regularly committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and based partly on the Nazi model, complete with death camps, mass starvation, sadistic torture, and other sinister brutalities, what are we to do in The West? Going by past actions, nothing, sadly. There has long been a law for Europe, and a law for the Asian world - a double-standard, where the West either inflicts cruelties and crimes in that theatre of war it would not elsewhere, or tolerates them there when it would not elsewhere. No atomic bomb was dropped on Germany; no Napalm used on enemies of European descent. A subtle racism continues - people of Asia, Africa and the Middle East are treated as sub-human, or, more bluntly, sub-American. If France, Italy, or Greece were doing what North Korea was doing, it would be defeated militarily, as to stand by would be seen as an impossible moral failing; however, the assumption is North Korea has a nuclear potential and the madness to use it. That seems true, but we must hold themselves and ourselves to the highest historical, non-hypocritical standards. If NK is the new Nazi Germany, in terms of organised mass evil towards millions of its own people, then it must be defeated. How? Well, China should withdraw all support, for a start. The next steps are not so pleasant to contemplate. But, though I am not a warmonger, and am a Catholic opposed to unjust wars, this may just be a just one. But as said above, this is all hypothetical. NK will continue, likely for a decade or more, killing and torturing millions upon millions of trapped souls.

Dating of the Berkner, Fletcher and James Ross ice cores and implications
Titre : Dating of the Berkner, Fletcher and James Ross ice cores and implications
Laboratoire de rattachement : LGGE
Encadrant : Frédéric Parrenin,
Téléphone :0476824265
Co-Encadrant : Jérôme Chappellaz,
Mots clés : Paleoclimatology, Antarctica, ice cores, chronology, ice flow
Contexte et objectifs de la mission de stage :
Ice cores provide a good deal of crucial information on past climates, like the temperature above ice sheets (Jouzel et al., 2007), the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (Loulergue et al., 2008 ; Lüthi et al., 2008) or the flux of various aerosols (Wolff et al., 2006), from continental, marine or volcanic origin. Recently, ice cores have been drilled in coastal regions of Antarctica to constrain the past local climate of these areas. The James Ross ice (JRI) core has been drilled on an island at the tip of the Antarctic peninsula while the Fletcher and Berkner ice cores have been retrieved on ice rises situated in the Ronne-Filchner ice shelf. The dating of ice cores is a prerequisite before any interpretation of the ice core records. Moreover, the age scale construction can give clues on the past flow of ice by, e.g., estimating the vertical thinning of ice layers.
The aim of this internship will be to date these 3 ice cores and to analyze the paleoclimatic and glaciological implications of these datings. A section of the JRI ice core will be analyzed using a continuous flow analysis (CFA) method, measuring in particular the CH4 concentration of air bubbles and some discrete measurements will be performed on the Berkner and Fletcher ice cores. Together with previous measurements, this will allow synchronizing these ice cores to well-dated records, like the ones from central Antarctica (e.g., EDC). These ice cores records will consequently be placed on the official AICC2012 chronology (Bazin et al., 2013 ; Veres et al., 2013) and the vertical thinning of ice layers will be deduced using the probabilistic dating model IceChrono1, developed at LGGE (Parrenin et al., 2015). Possible scenarios of ice flow will then be discussed, also taking into account the temperature profiles measured in the ice cores.

Columbia Pictures has picked up U.S. distribution rights to Moneyball director Bennett Miller's real life drama Foxcatcher. The film tells the true story of John du Pont, a paranoid schizophrenic who built a wrestling training facility on his 800-acre Pennsylvania estate where he subsequently shot and killed Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler David Schultz in 1996. Heir to his family's chemical fortune, du Pont locked himself in his mansion for two days after murdering his friend, and spent the time on the phone with negotiators.
The swell ensemble cast includes Steve Carell as du Pont and Mark Ruffalo as Schultz, as well as Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, and Anthony Michael Hall. Today's announcement adds that Vanessa Redgrave has also joined the cast, making for one hell of an ensemble. Production is underway in anticipation of a Fall 2013 release. Given how great Miller's past two efforts have been (Moneyball and Capote), it's safe to assume that Foxcatcher will likely be an awards contender. Hit the jump to read the full press release.
Columbia Pictures Acquires U.S. Rights to
Bennett Miller's FOXCATCHER
Culver City, CA (November 1, 2012) – Columbia Pictures has picked up the United States distribution rights to Bennett Miller's FOXCATCHER from Annapurna Pictures. In addition to the U.S. distribution rights, Columbia Pictures also joins the film as a co-financer. The deal reunites Miller with Columbia, having previously collaborated with the studio on last fall's release of the Academy Award®-nominated picture, MONEYBALL. Panorama Media is commencing International sales of the film at the upcoming American Film Market.
Starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Sienna Miller, Vanessa Redgrave and Anthony Michael Hall, FOXCATCHER was written by Dan Futterman and E. Max Frye. Producing the film are Megan Ellison, Anthony Bregman, and Miller. The film is currently in production.
Columbia's Andrew Gumpert and Michael Marshall negotiated the deal with Panorama Media. Rights were acquired from Panorama Media, which is serving as the film's sales agent. SPE will aim to release the film in the fall of 2013.

(CRAIG HAVIGHURST) -- If you watched Michael Cleveland play the fiddle without hearing him, you'd be hard pressed to imagine a beautiful sound coming out. His bow flies around and slashes at the strings like a crazy conductor's baton. But somehow, he achieves a touch and a tone so outstanding that he's won ten fiddle player of the year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association.
