Every month, the world is inundated with innumerable music choices across all genres and styles. SSG Music can't begin to cover the disparate strands of noise that graces this vast planet, let alone our desks. "In Review" hopes to remedy this by showcasing a few gems and clunkers that we've missed as a given month has passed us by. Consider it our humble offering to you.
This month we catch up on new offerings from the Mike Watt/Richard Meltzer collaboration, Spielgusher, the reunited classic line-up of Guided By Voices, Jessie Baylin, Windy & Carl, and debuts from Keepaway and From the Mouth of the Sun.
Score: 8.8/10
The premise behind Spielgusher is both mindboggling and frothing. The promise of a Mike Watt/Richard Meltzer collab has been floating in the ether since Meltzer's heyday as primo rock critic, poet, and sometime saxophonist—an admirer of the Minutemen and in turn, admired by D. Boon and Watt. Boon passed before the poetry-meets-precision punk combo could materialize but we stand amongst the idealism of Manifest Destiny: what should happen will happen.
It's taken a few decades and the additional of Cornelius' Yuko Araki and Hirotaka "Shimmy" Shimizu to make it happen but we stand face to face with beat poetry for a lost generation; a generation who has little idea as to what poetry is, rendered moot by baseless lyrics about love and sex spewed by every two-bit performer tied up in major label obligation.
Spielgusher has no reason to be as infectious as it is. Meltzer's genius is a little too skewed, too outrageous for modern thought but it's the sort of non-traditional communication missing from modern storytelling. Propped up with the micro jams of Watt, Shimizu, and Araki, Meltzer's lyrical pastiche is given gravitas. The beatnik vibe is quickly replaced by an undiscovered mutation, punk and funk mingling with outrageous thought bombs and quirky observations into a cauldron of delicious poison. Spielgusher is mind-altering, over-the-top trans-generational jive that music critics should never emulate…unless you're Richard Meltzer.
In the end, I'm a whore just like Meltzer; a fan just like D. Boon and Watt. But Spielgusher devour fandom and spit out memorable bytes. Whatever tongue-twisting tag is placed upon Spielgusher, it will do it little justice. Sixty-Three sheets of digestible introspection for the wounded, post-Douglas Copeland soul.
Score: 6.9/10
GBV Inc.
Guided By Voices
The 'classic' lineup of Guided By Voices returns and as one would expect, it's a bumpy reunion. Complete with the highest highs and the lowest lows, Let's Go Eat the Factory is more than the sum of its parts. It's the fuel injected kick-to-the-ass needed to begin 2012 on the right, if belligerent, footing.
Most of the English teacher poetry spewed by Bob Pollard is best imagined as the ramblings of a drunken Midwestern bard, but even Bob has his sharp moments—most of which dot the first half of Let's Go Eat the Factory along with some of the best Tobin Sprout GBV offerings to date. It's not as if Bob needed competition from Sprout (his 2011 solo LP, Space City Kicks, one of Bob's best in the years since the last GBV incarnation folded) but Let's Go Eat the Factory sounds like beginning of a marathon (at least fans hope this is not a quick sprint to a petty cash out).
Let's Go Eat the Factory is not without its faults. "Doughnut for a Snowman" is a little clumsy in its delivery, mimicking the uneasy stagger of an aging Pollard waltzing around a teeny club stage. "The Big Hat and Toy Show" shoehorns the band's best 70s psychedelic garage ramblings into a collection of songs in which it doesn't belong.
Ignoring the lows, however, is commonplace for any devout GBV fan and the classic lineup does its best to hide those moments with atmospheric highs. "How I Met My Mother" is the quick tongue-in-cheek punch to the groin Pollard does oh-so-well when any album needs a pick-me-up; "Imperial Racehorsing" is a staple in the making, scaling back the bright lights and scissor kicks for primal rock song with all the kitschy GBV trimmings. In the end, Let's Go to the Factory achieves what it needed to most: letting us remember the best of GBV and allowing us to dream of more from the sharpest GBV grouping in hopes of something even better lurking around the bend.
Score: 7.3/10
Keepaway (MySpace)
Black Flute is a strange beast, created by the equally strange Keepaway. The trio, a part of Das Racist's new Greehead label, tangles their infatuation with pop with surrealism. Much like pop music these days, Black Flute is lyrically hollow; a bunch of random words spliced together to create a meaningless yet catchy mélange. It's unlikely that anything beyond the repetitive chants that snake through the choruses of much of the album, particularly the memorable "Stunner" and "Hologram."
But this is why Black Flute shines. Buried within the cycle is catchiness inherent to pop lyricism. It doesn't hurt Mike Burakoff, Frank Lyon, and Nick Nauman grasp the intricacies of pop through its many transformations in the past 30 years. "Faces Now" is a feverish Duran Duran dream, blending Simon LeBon cool with a slowed sound system chill akin to Soul II Soul. "Bomb Track" is out of the Panda Bear playbook, eschewing the endless summer for music with a solid expiration date.
Which brings us to the real negative of Black Flute: its shelf life is limited. This is music, as entrenched in the history of modern pop as it may be, that is going to age quickly. However, in this moment, the melding of shoegaze, chillwave, British soul and new wave, and hip-hop achieved with Black Flute is going to hit the sweet spot until it begins to sour. Gulp it up while you can.
Score: 8/10
Windy & Carl (MySpace)
There is no doubt that Kranky had a massive 2011. So leave it label mainstay Windy & Carl is pick up the torch in 2012.
Windy Weber and Carl Hultgren have been fixtures of Kranky since 1997, with We Will Always Be proving another touchstone in the band's canon. If not for opener "For Rosa," We Will Always Be would be untouchable. The level of organic resonance Windy and Carl coax from keys and strings is unparalleled, showcased like the grand prize of The Golden Road.
Though split into eight tracks, much of We Will Always Be functions as one continuous creation, Windy and Carl blending ideas without regard to real separation. Songs seamlessly connect, clasping hands with the ease of two elderly lovers walking to the bright light. We Will Always Be escapes conditional words of wisdom, it just is. In fact, the score is equally arbitrary. If you want to zone out but be engaged, here's your album. It's really that simple, but then again music is usually that simple—it's just that Windy and Carl add elegance and class.
Score: 7.9/10
Thirty Tigers
Jessie Baylin
Here we stand, face to face with what is likely to be another woman who, by definition, is going to be strongly judged on appearances and beauty and only slightly on the music she makes. There's no denying the girl-next-door appeal of Jessie Baylin when eyes first meet her visage but there's much more beneath the charming crust.
Little Spark is the product of Baylin's hard fought release from Verve, wearing the signs of a songwriter in equal infatuation with the legacy of her old label and the sounds of her youth. Required in such a nostalgia grab is Richard Swift, who was brought on to help Baylin arrange many of the songs of Little Spark and the results as a saccharine thick as those on Swift's own throwbacks—again without the sticky residue of falling into the syrupy puddles of bygone eras.
Baylin's voice is the true champion of her third album, buoyed by the tight A.M. gold conjured by Swift and the group of Nashville session veterans that call up the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building. The only downside of Little Spark is how dated the album quickly becomes, bar a few standouts ("The Greatest Thing That Never Happened," "I Feel That Too," and "Yuma"). The charge to capture Baylin's older influences has caught her and Swift in a musical bind, and Baylin's AOR-ready image places invisible barriers on her music keeping more in tune with the moods of Verve rather than the more expansive contemporaries (Stereolab, for example) she namedrops as inspiration.
It's a petty argument considering the gentle melodies and catchy lyricism at display throughout Little Spark. It is indeed a little spark and hopefully Baylin is able to grow it into a raging fire as she continues to explore the depths of music in her young career.
Score: 8.2/10
From the Mouth of the Sun
The newly minted combination of the man behind Jasper TX, Dag Rosenqvist, and composer Aaron Martin makes up From the Mouth of the Sun–and as any fan of either's work can tell you, Woven Tide is going to be a stoic, somber ride through musicality.
Woven Tide is a calculating album, only showing itself in listless flashes better suited for headphones than an overpowering stereo system. Subtly is brilliance as it pertains to Rosenqvist and Martin's own work, and as a duo the formula doesn't change. The inherent crackle and antebellum appeal of Rosenqvist is gingerly melded by Martin into his fuller, yet reigned compositions. When the pair ratchets up the intensity (the album's final 'suite' of "Like Shadows in an Empty Cathedral" and "A Season in Waters"), the payoff is well worth the patience.
Rosenqvist and Martin seem suited toward each other's strengths, leaving us to hope more is produced from the formidable duo. Comparisons will be made to A Winged Victory for the Sullen and in some regard; the point won't be far off. The larger issue is how wonderful it is that contemporary composition is returning to music—not as polish on a trumped up presence on a pop song—but as mood, melody, and substance that coexists with modern temperance.

Well, Jon's working tonight so I find myself blogging. But don't worry, I painted my nails first. :) I finally have time to!
I hope everyone's Christmas was wonderful. Mine was great! It was weird not being with my parents but we had a great day at Jon's family's house. Our first Christmas together as a married couple was perfect. I gave Jon too many sweaters and he gave me very thoughtful gifts. He remembers everything I say. Thanks babe!
OH AND Josie got engaged on Christmas Day!! YYAAAY! Her and Brad are planning on a June wedding and I am so excited for them both. I hope Kingston comes before the wedding day. My recent dreams depict him being super late and not wanting to come out. He's already been quite a handful and hes not even out of the womb yet. But I love him, the little poop.
Well, I dont have too much more to update. I'm loving my time off from those little 1st graders. In other news, I'm getting huge. And that's about it. PEACE and blessings.

This Week's Bread

lovely pictures looks wonderful lovely breadReplyDelete
Hayırlı sabahlar, ellerinize sağlık. Çok leziz ve iştah açıcı görünüyor.ReplyDelete
Nazik yorumlarınız için teşekkür ederiz.Delete
The French Batards are a work of art, and has motivated to start baking bread again. I took spring and summer off :-)ReplyDelete
Look at your slashes..you are an artist..Oy..do u use a slasher Ann?ReplyDeleteReplies
Monique, no I just use one of my sharp knives.Delete
Oh what delicious looking bread! Do you think I can make the bread using a food processor to blend it all together and then knead by hand? Many thanks SharonReplyDeleteReplies
Sharon, You can actually process and knead your dough in a food processor. I have a pictorial on making bread in a food processor. You can find it here: http://thibeaultstablerecipes.blogspot.ca/2012/10/pictorial-making-bread-in-food-processor.htmlDelete
Ann, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one to take the hot summers off from baking bread. I try to get a lot done in May & early June for the freezer. Once the temperatures go above 92, I don't turn on the oven for anything. About two weeks ago, we started getting slightly cooler weather. One day when it was only 84, I baked up a storm. Then last week it was back in the 90s. The last couple of days have been 99! Hopefully by the end of the week, we'll actually start enjoying fall weather.ReplyDelete
As usual, your breads look beautiful.Replies
Sue, I like your idea of cooler weather. Send some of that my way please. I'm not ready for winter. Night's have been down below 40°F. Temperature here at the moment is 42°F. Should get up to the mid 60's this afternoon. ~AnnDelete
I would be one of the happiest bakers around if I could make baguettes that look like yours, Ann. They are picture perfect.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFriday, October 05, 2012
So so SO unfair that I cannot eat wheat. I miss working with the dough and smelling it baking.....and that first taste..... <<>> Your breads are, indeed, a work of art. ALWAYS so incredibly gorgeous! I all but drool every time you post anyway.....but this bread?!?!?!? Ugh..... (Sad in Indiana)ReplyDelete
Merci beaucoup, Ann. CheersReplyDelete

Mayor Villaraigosa's statement on Douglas Barry is after the jump.
LOS ANGELES -- Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa issued the following statement on LAFD Chief Douglas Barry's retirement announcement:
"For the past 34 years, Chief Douglas Barry has dedicated his life to protecting the people of this City. At every rung of the ladder, he gained the respect of his colleagues and earned the reputation as a man committed to the best values and virtues of our fire department.
"Chief Barry led the department with intelligence and integrity. At a moment of great challenge for our firefighters, he proved to be the right man at the right time to reform the department and cultivate a culture of respect, tolerance, and mutual understanding in our fire houses. His courage inspired our firefighters through the battle of protecting lives and homes during the Griffith Park, Sayre and Porter Ranch wildfires, and rescuing the survivors of the devastating Metrolink collision."
"On behalf of the City and the people of Los Angeles, I want to thank Chief Barry for showing all of us what it means to dedicate your life to public service and for staying true to the unwavering belief in our fire department's core mission: saving lives. We honor his commitment to every Angeleno, and we wish him well in his future endeavors."

Question from my book:
Rapid transit trains arrive at a given station every five minutes and depart after stopping at the station for one minute to drop off and pick up passengers. Assuming trains arrive every hour on the hour, what is the probability that a passenger will be able to board a train immediately if he or she arrives at the station at a random instant between 7:54 a.m. and 8:06 a.m.?
I don't even know how to start!

I know PhotoShop is excellent software (my sis swears by it and is well-versed in using it). Drawback....it is expensive! Yes, there are toned-down, cheaper versions of PhotoShop, but if I'm going to shell out the $$$ I don't want to start playing around and realize that it's missing something I want. If you're going to be doing a lot of photo editing, perhaps it's a good option, but I couldn't make the commitment. Buyer-fear and my sister is a 2 day drive from me so if I get stuck, she's not there to rescue me!
The photo editing software I eventually purchased is certainly a topic for a future post, but what I wanted to illustrate is that the free stuff isn't without worth. In fact, I use Microsoft Picture Manager before editing with my other software. It's not that my other software can't do something that Picture Manager can, but it's just so easy that I've over-looked learning it on the new software. I'm bad, I know, and eventually I'll learn it.
If you checked out my "Wordless Wednesday" post yesterday you'll see 5 pictures as I went through the editing process to correct a fairly faded family photograph. Here's the original photo and the first adjustment I made:
|Adjustment #1
A pretty noticeable difference isn't it? I did it by clicking one button on Picture Manager...the "auto correct" button...and I'm not joking. That is the difference that one, uneducated click made in recovering this picture. Keep in mind that I scan all of my pictures at 600 d.p.i. (at least). You want as much detail as possible.
I use my Picture Manager to rotate, crop (which I don't often do with genealogy pics like this one), adjust color, contrast, and remove red eye. The tools that come with the program are supposed to be simple. Just remember not to hit "save" if you aren't happy with your finished product!

Sources: Boughton to run for governor
DANBURY -- Mayor Mark Boughton will announce this week that he plans to run for governor, sources with knowledge of Boughton's campaign said.
Two sources told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers that the longest serving mayor in the city's history will announce his run during an event Wednesday morning at the Holiday Inn.
Boughton, however, said Monday that he has yet to make a final decision about whether he will enter the fray.
"There is only one person who knows what my decision will be and that's my wife," he said.
The six-term mayor formed an exploratory committee for a potential gubernatorial run in November,
In addition to Boughton's scheduled Wednesday morning news conference "to announce plans for 2014 election," he is hosting an "appreciation dinner" for his volunteers on Wednesday night.
"It would seem odd to have a dinner and an announcement if you weren't going to run," said former state GOP Chairman Chris Healy.
He said while Boughton probably is "the best retail politician we have right now" in the state Republican Party, his biggest challenge will be raising the $250,000 -- in donations no larger than $100 -- to qualify for the state's public elections financing program.
The deadline for exploratory committees to file their latest fundraising numbers is Friday, three days after Boughton's planned announcement.
In the days leading up to the end of the quarter on Dec. 31, Boughton issued several calls for donations through his Team Boughton Facebook page, saying donations of any size, would be "a huge boost" to the campaign.
The only Republican to date who has officially announced plans to take on Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in November is state Sen. John McKinney, R-Newtown.
McKinney said Monday while he hasn't spoken to Boughton in recent weeks, he isn't surprised.
"I fully expect him to announce that he will be a candidate for governor," McKinney said. "This has been his plan all along."
McKinney said he expects to have raised more money than other gubernatorial candidates when the reports are due on Friday.
"We've built a tremendous amount of momentum for the campaign and financial support," he said.
Several others, including the GOP's gubernatorial candidate in 2010, Tom Foley, and state Sen. Toni Boucher, have formed exploratory committees for a run for the state's top office.
Boughton, who sought his party's gubernatorial nomination four years ago, became Foley's running mate. The duo lost to Malloy by about 1 percent of the vote.
Foley said Monday that several Republicans are looking to seize the opportunity because of Democrat Malloy's dismal performance.
"Malloy doesn't have a record that supports re-election," Foley said. "The state is headed in the wrong direction and people want a change."
Foley declined to comment on when he might make a formal announcement concerning his plans.
"Not in the immediate future," he said.
State Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola said it behooves candidates to announce a run sooner than later because it gives more credibility when seeking money and the support of delegates who will attend the May nominating convention.
"With the state convention only about four months away, we are reaching that point where our exploratory gubernatorial candidates need to think about converting to full-fledged campaigns," Labriola said Monday. "We are fortunate to have an array of A-level candidates such as Mayor Mark Boughton seeking statewide office. I look forward to his announcement on Wednesday."
Danbury City Council President Joseph Cavo said while he believes Boughton is the only gubernatorial candidate who has executive experience, he would also hate to see him leave Danbury.
"I don't want to lose him in Danbury, but we also have to be realistic," Cavo, a Republican, said. "He has so much talent and his desire for public service is tremendous. The people of Danbury would be proud to share him with the state of Connecticut."

BAGHDAD (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on an unannounced visit Sunday to Baghdad urged Iraq's leaders to halt Iranian overflights of weapons and fighters heading to Syria and to overcome sectarian differences that still threaten Iraqi stability 10 years after the American-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.
In meetings with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other senior officials Kerry was telling them to stop Iranian aircraft from using Iraqi airspace to fly military personnel and equipment to support the Syrian government as it battles rebels. Iran and Iraq both say the flights are laden with humanitarian supplies, but the U.S. and others believe they are filled with weapons and fighters to help the Assad regime.
In the absence of a complete ban on flights, the U.S. would at least like the planes to land and be inspected in Iraq to ensure that they are carrying humanitarian supplies. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton secured a pledge from Iraq to inspect the flights last year, but since then only two aircraft have been checked by Iraqi authorities, according to U.S. officials.
The overflights have long been a source of contention between the U.S. and Iraq and Kerry will tell the Iraqis that allowing them to continue will make the situation in Syria worse and ultimately threaten Iraq's stability.
One senior U.S. official said the sheer number of overflights, which occur "close to daily," along with shipments trucked to Syria from Iran through Iraq, was inconsistent with claims they are only carrying humanitarian supplies. The official said it was in Iraq's interest to prevent the situation in Syria from deteriorating further, particularly as there are fears that al-Qaida-linked extremists may gain a foothold in the country as the Assad regime falters.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to publicly preview Kerry's meetings, said there are clear links between al-Qaida linked extremists operating in Syria and militants who are also carrying out terrorist attacks in Iraqi territory with increasing regularity.
A group of fighters in Syria known as Jabhat al-Nusra, a powerful offshoot of al-Qaida in Iraq that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility for most of the deadliest suicide bombings against regime and military facilities and, as a result, has gained popularity among some rebels.
Kerry will tell al-Maliki, a Shiite with close ties to Iran, that Iraq cannot be part of the political discussion about Syria's future until it clamps down on the Iranian shipments, the senior official said.
As Iraq approaches provincial elections next month, Kerry will also stress the importance of ensuring that all elements of society feel enfranchised, the official said. A recent decision to delay the polls in Anbar and Nineveh provinces is a "serious setback" to Iraq's democratic institutions and should be revisited, the official said.
In addition to al-Maliki, Kerry saw Iraqi parliament speaker parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni, whose faction is at odds with Maliki's Shiia. Kerry also plans to speak by phone with Massoud Barzani, the head of the Kurdish Regional Government based in Irbil to encourage the Kurds not go ahead with unilateral actions - especially involving oil, like a pipeline deal with Turkey.
He will stress the "importance of maintaining the unity of Iraq," say that "separate efforts undercut the unity of the country" and that "the Kurdish republic cannot survive financially without the support of Baghdad," the official said.
Kerry's arrival came just three days after the anniversary of the U.S.-led war that began on March 20, 2003, with an airstrike on Dora Farms in southern Baghdad in a failed attempt to kill Hussein.
The invasion and toppling of Hussein sparked years of bloodshed as Sunni and Shiite militants battled U.S. forces and each other, leaving nearly 4,500 U.S. soldiers and more than 100,000 Iraqis dead.
Violence has ebbed sharply since the peak of Sunni-Shiite fighting that pushed the country to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007. But insurgents are still able to stage high-profile attacks, and sectarian and ethnic rivalries remain threats to the country's long-term stability.
Earlier this week, an al-Qaida in Iraq front group claimed responsibility nearly 20 attacks that killed 65 people across the country on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Islamic State of Iraq said it unleashed the car bombs and other explosions to avenge the executions and "massacres" of convicted Sunni inmates held in Iraqi prisons. Its claim came on the 10th anniversary of the start of the war, although it made no reference to the significance of the date.
Kerry arrived in Baghdad from Amman, where he had been accompanying President Barack Obama on his tour of Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan. His visit to Iraq is the first by a U.S. secretary of state since Clinton went in April 2009. During Obama's first term, the Iraq portfolio was largely delegated to Vice President Joe Biden.
Since Clinton's trip, the American diplomatic presence in Iraq has shrunk dramatically, most significantly since U.S. ended military operations in late 2011, according to officials. A year ago, there were 16,000 State Department employees and contractors in the country. As of Kerry's visit, that number had declined to 10,500 and it will drop to 5,100 by the end of 2013, officials said.

Here at Ruby on Windows, we've looked at how to automate a variety of applications using Ruby. One popular MS Office app that I haven't yet discussed is PowerPoint, Microsoft's ubiquitous presentation software. But, like other Office apps, PowerPoint exposes a full-featured object model for automating, so there's virtually nothing that you can't do with PowerPoint via Ruby code.
As usual, we'll be leveraging the win32ole library:
require 'win32ole'
We'll start by creating an instance of the PowerPoint Application object, and assigning that object to a variable we'll call ppt :
ppt = WIN32OLE.new('PowerPoint.Application')
Note that PowerPoint (like Outlook and Project) is a single-instance application. This means that if an instance of PowerPoint is already running, that instance will be returned, even though you called the WIN32OLE.new method. If PowerPoint is not currently running, a new instance will be launched.
Like most MS Office applications, the PowerPoint application window is not visible by default when launched from code. To show or hide the Application window, set the Visible property...
ppt.Visible = true
The Presentations collection contains the list of presentation documents currently open. To create a new Presentation, we'll call the Presentations.Add() method...
doc = ppt.Presentations.Add()
To open an existing presentation, we'll call the Presentations.Open() method and pass it the path and name of the PPT file...
doc = ppt.Presentations.Open('c:\docs\mully1.ppt')
The Presentations.Add() and Presentations.Open() methods add the new Presentation object to the Presentations collection, and return a reference to the Presentation object. As you can see above, we're assigning that object to a variable we've called doc.
The Presentation object contains a collection of Slide objects. To add a new slide to your presentation, call the Slides.Add() method and pass it two integers as arguments: the position at which to insert the new slide, and the layout to use for the new slide...
ppLayoutText = 2
slide = doc.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutText)
The position argument must be between 1 and the current number of slides plus 1.
The Slides.Add() method adds the new slide to the Slides collection and returns a reference to the new slide, which we've assigned to the variable slide.
To get the current count of slides, call the Slides.Count() method.
So, we could use this code to add a new blank slide to the end of the collection:
slide = doc.Slides.Add(doc.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
You can find a complete list of Slide Layout constants in this Microsoft document.
Each slide object contains a Shapes collection of all objects on the slide, such as textboxes, pictures, and OLE objects.
In the words of Microsoft, a shape object's TextFrame "contains the text in the text frame and the properties and methods that control the alignment and anchoring of the text frame". The TextFrame object's TextRange property "returns a TextRange object that represents the text in the specified text frame". You can get/set the text via the TextRange object's Text property. Got all that? There'll be a quiz later.
Putting this all together, we can insert or change the text of the first textbox on our slide using a line of code like this:
slide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Hello, World!"
To save your newly-created presentation, call the SaveAs() method and pass it the path and filename:
To save changes to a previously-saved presentation, call the Save() method:
Call the presentation object's Close() method to close the presentation, and call the application object's Quit() method to exit the PowerPoint application:
Well, that's our show for today. There's much more to be covered on this topic. Please let me know if you have specific questions or suggestions for future articles.
Thanks for stopping by!

When was the last time you were excited a remake of a TV movie?
Director Danny Boyle is after Michael Fassbender to star in his upcoming thriller, "Trance," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is a remake of a 2001 made-for-TV movie written and directed by Joe Ahearne.
Fassbender would play the leader of a gang of thieves who conspire with an auction house employee to steal some art. But the plan is endangered when the assistant suffers a blow to the head and suddenly can't remember anything, like the whereabouts of a valuable painting, so Fassbender hires a female hypnotist (hence "Trance") to get the answer out of him.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
But even if this thing goes forward with its planned fall shoot, the film would sit in limbo while Boyle focused on directing the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics in London, after which the footage would be edited for a 2013 release.
In the meantime, Boyle is directing a stage version of "Frankenstein" at the Royal National Theater in London, and Fassbender can be seen June 3 in "X-Men: First Class," and continues to film Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel, "Prometheus," which co-stars Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace.

NY Coffee Chronicles: Bluebird Becomes a Newbird
Bluebird Coffee Shop, the beloved Lower East Side serious-coffee-boîte-and-bakery, changed hands two weeks ago, and is now reopened. The changeover from original owners Mark Connell and wife Jessica Connell to Alex Hall and Sabrina Godfrey, owners of two popular Brooklyn neighborhood cafes (MIlk Bar in Prospect Heights and Cafe Madeleine in Ditmas Park) has spawned an unusual amount of controversy—and sparked an interesting question: what makes a special coffee shop special? Is it as simple as looking in and seeing the "right" equipment and "right" roaster's beans in place on the counter? Or does it go beyond all that?
Both outgoing and new owners think the transition should be graceful: a beautiful space at 1st and 1st, continuing to serve Counter Culture Coffee via filter and espresso, on the same equipment, with the same basic barista training. The baker and the food menu are changing—but Bluebird's former baker had already jumped to Fort Defiance before the transition.
New owner Alex Hall thinks people's widely expressed frustration is a little out of proportion to the reality of running a coffee bar that he more or less plans to keep the same, with an increased focus on the customer.
"We're ordering the same coffee in the same way, have the same machines," says Hall. "It's a little surprising how horrified the response has been that the walls have changed color from blue to cream."
But if the magic of a special coffee shop lies in the people, most of those will have changed. All employees—including former Mid-Atlantic Regional Barista Champion Katie Duris, also the staff trainer—were offered the opportunity to continue on, but only one remains.
Under Duris' stewardship, Connell acknowledges that Bluebird "quickly became known as a coffee shop known for very high standards...we became very beloved in the neighborhood very quickly, and the drinks, and the baked goods, had a lot to do with it, but I think more of it had to do with my wife and myself and the staff."
The changeover—even in people—needn't be a game-killer, though: Connell thinks the new regime may even be able to do one better on what he and his wife, Jessica Connell, began in the failed Simon Sips spot.
"We wanted to sell it to someone who would hopefully continue not only the standards, but the feel of it, the essence of it as well. And I think Alex and Sabrina certainly seem to build neighborhood sort of spots, and have great people working for them, so we thought that they'd be able to maintain and maybe build on what we've already built," said Connell.
Though Milk Bar is more of a food-cafe with a great coffee bar, and Cafe Madeleine a straightforward serious-coffee place, Hall expects Bluebird to fall more towards the latter in the footsteps of the old Bluebird, with perhaps a little more relaxation in terms of the needs of the soy mocha set.
"My whole idea with coffee is I take the attitude out of it. We use very high quality coffee, but in a very friendly manner as well, that dictates that the customer is always right. We do that in a nurturing way with the customer, and I think that's important."
The Connells, meanwhile, are hopeful that the future of their former shop is bright.
"We're hoping they maintain the standards of it and maybe surpass them as well. Because we live in the neighborhood," pauses Connell, "We want a nice coffee shop to go to."

During the Boots on Ground (BOG) phase the IA Sailor performs their designated mission at the ordered ultimate duty station. IA Sailors assigned to the CENTCOM and AFRICOM AOR travel via military airlift to their designated Reception, Staging, Onward Movement and Integration (RSO&I) site to begin the BOG phase. Once integrated, IA Sailors are fully functioning members of the mission and take orders directly from their local Chain of Command.
During this phase, the Parent Command / NOSC CIAC is the primary point of contact for the IA Sailor and especially his or her family for any personal issues or emergencies that arise. It is therefore imperative (and required) that CIACs maintain lines of communication with IA Sailors and their families and that they are familiar with the resources that can be brought to bear on any number of problems.

'New York Neon' captures fading art
By Chris Kokenes, CNN • Published 26th November 2012
View Gallery
7 Pictures
Besides its tall skyscrapers, nothing screams "New York City" more than bright neon lights.
While neon signs are not unique to New York, at one point they proliferated in tens of thousands of storefronts throughout the city. And just like Broadway, which they are often associated with, neon signs became an iconic part of the city's landscape by the middle of the twentieth century.
But a changing landscape is unfolding and an increasing number of neon signs are disappearing. Six years ago, architectural conservator Thomas Rinaldi started documenting New York's historic neon signs.
"Old neon signs had caught my attention for many years, but around this time they began to disappear at such a rate that I felt a real sense of urgency to photograph them before they vanished forever," Rinaldi said.
The result is the book "New York Neon," a visual tour of the remaining exposed-tube neon signs in the five boroughs of New York City. Most of the 200 signs featured in the book are early- and mid-20th century examples, manufactured before 1970.
CNN asked Rinaldi to tell us more about the project recently via e-mail. Following is an edited version of that interview:
What is it about the history or medium of neon lights in New York that intrigues you?
It's many things. New York's old neon signs stand out for their design, their great midcentury letterforms, and their materials. But even more than this, the signs almost invariably mark the spots of great old businesses -- bars, restaurants, small stores -- that give New York's neighborhoods a "sense of place" -- a unique identity of their own.
Is there a time that one could consider the height of neon signs in New York? How many neon signs were there?
Many neon sign aficionados would tell you that New York's best neon signs went up in the 1930s, and I agree. Sign designers really created some beautiful and unique works in the years before World War II. After the War, storefront signs in New York tended to become less inventive, while signs for Route 66-type motels and drive-ins became more flamboyant. This happened partly because of rising labor costs in New York, and partly because of a general shift in emphasis from old urban centers to roadside and suburban development during this period.
Why were neon signs so popular?
One of the fascinating things about neon is how it has been popular -- and unpopular -- with different groups for different reasons through the years. From the 1920s through the '50s, neon was intensely popular with business owners for its ability to grab the attention of potential customers. While this is still true, many small business owners have opted for less expensive forms of outdoor advertising since the 1960s.
Today, old neon signs are popular with many New Yorkers for their ability to evoke another era and most of all for their association with stalwart old independent neighborhood businesses.
Why are they disappearing?
Very sadly, old neon signs in New York are disappearing because many of the veteran businesses they advertise have had a hard time keeping up with the way the city has reinvented itself in the past 20 years. Old businesses can't last forever, some close up when their owners pass away or retire.
But many cite skyrocketing rents and real estate values for having ushered the demise of old restaurants, bars, hardware stores and other businesses that had been neighborhood institutions for generations. Places like these give neighborhoods an identity and their disappearance has been the cause of much concern for many. When they go, they take their signs with them.

With an intense fire season already underway before summer officially begins, firefighters need all the help they can get – even from space.
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge are using data from satellites 400 miles above Earth to measure the moisture in Southern California soil and vegetation.
Fire agencies used to wait two weeks for these vital satellite images.
U.S. & World
"This is going to be good. We're excited about it," LA County Fire Assistant Chief Frank Vidales said. "This satellite information will give us real-time information on fire danger."
JPL's Son Ngheim said the images paint a very dry picture.
"We're really looking at elevated fire danger season," Ngheim said.
Fire danger is especially high this year because of what scientists are calling double jeopardy.
"We received rainfall during peak growing season of chaparral, but it ends up drying rapidly and now it's available for wildfires," Vidales said.
A satellite image, pictured at right, of the Inland Empire taken at the end of February show dark green areas indicating heavy brush. But take a look at the same area on May 1 – the day the massive Summit Fire broke out in Banning – and much of that green has turned to brown, indicating dried brush.

The Walt Disney Co. on Monday began warning Cablevision subscribers in New York that the local ABC television station signal may go dark this weekend in a dispute over how much it is paid by the cable operator.
If the fee fight isn't resolved, the station could go dark after midnight Saturday, meaning Cablevision's 3.1 million customers could lose the ability to watch the Academy Awards on Sunday on ABC.
The signal, however, can still be pulled from the air for free with an antenna and a new TV or digital converter box.
Disney is seeking an additional $40 million a year in new fees, Cablevision Systems Corp. spokesman Charles Schueler said in a statement. Cablevision pays more than $200 million a year toDisney.
"It is not fair for ABC Disney to hold Cablevision customers hostage by forcing them to pay what amounts to a new TV tax," Schueler said.
Disney said Cablevision charges customers $18 per month for basic broadcast signals, but does not pass on any payment for ABC to Disney.
The dispute involving WABC-TV is similar to the standoff at the end of last year between News Corp. and Time Warner Cable over how much Fox television station signals were worth. That tussle, which threatened the college football bowl season and new episodes of "The Simpsons," was resolved without a signal interruption.
Disney said it began alerting Cablevision watchers of the impasse in on-air spot advertisements Monday night.
It plans on taking out ads in local newspapers, radio stations and online to inform viewers of the situation, and set up a Web site, www.saveabc7.com, to plead its case. Cablevision, meanwhile, has also set up a Web site http://cablevision.com/abc/ and a page on Facebook.
The company's previous contract with Cablevision expired more than two years ago, but the companies extended it month by month as talks continued.
Under previous arrangements, Disney was paid for cable channels such as ESPN and Disney Channel, but gave its ABC broadcast signal away for free, a situation that most broadcasters are now trying to change.
"We can no longer sit back and allow Cablevision to use our shows for free while they continue to charge their customers for them," said Rebecca Campbell, the president and general manager of WABC-TV in a statement.
Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger foreshadowed recently that a fight was coming after News Corp. succeeded in its campaign to be paid in cash for its stations' broadcast signals.
WABC-TV is the most watched TV station in the country, said Disney, which is based in Burbank.
"It's time to recognize the value that they provide to distributors, and their importance to local communities," Iger said on a conference call with analysts last month.

Some unexpected players were dropped in my league this week. Wondering which ones to target, rest-of-season-wise.
WR Amari Cooper
WR Sammy Watkins
Pretty sure these guys are better than my worst WR (Maclin). Not sure which one to pick up. Unlikely I can get both and Cooper clears waivers a day before Watkins. Cooper's apparently got a nagging injury, while Watkins' usage has been relatively light so far.
RB Joe Mixon
Cincy seems like a real problem this year, but Mixon's usage is trending up lately. My RBs are really not great as it is (Gillislee, J. Allen, Ellington, and D. Henry).
Cooper comes off waivers tomorrow, while Watkins and Mixon come off Saturday. My initial thought is to let Cooper slide and put waivers in on Watkins and Mixon.
Thoughts? This is a 0.5 PPR league, btw.

Elmo and Cookie Monster have long delighted young viewers on TV's "Sesame Street," but the recent antics of New York street performers dressed as the beloved characters have drawn the ire of city officials and now the show's producers. Sesame Workshop, which owns the rights to Big Bird, Ernie and the assorted puppet monsters on the 45-year-old program, said on July 29, 2014 it was drafting plans to stop performers who dress up as the characters from appearing in Times Square, where they pose for photos with tourists and then demand tips.

ARLINGTON, Va. - Army officials have uncovered the identity of remains from an urn interred at Arlington National Cemetery that had been wrongly placed in a mass grave.
The urn was among eight cremated remains found last year at the cemetery amid reports of misplaced graves and faulty record keeping at the cemetery. The identity of one urn had a tantalizing clue: a photo of a young ice skater.
Army investigators tried for months to track down the skater's identity. On Friday The Washington Post ran a front-page story about the search.
Within hours the skater was identified as Rachel Stecher of Ashburn, Va., who is now enrolled at the Air Force Academy. The remains belonged to her grandmother, Gwyn Stecher, who died in 2001.
Cemetery officials say they will re-inter the remains.

Theater students promote healthy eating, one children's play at a time
The cast of "The Tale of Rollie Robin" was made up of students enrolled in UNH's Theatre for Young Audiences course. Pictured from left to right are Kim D'Agnese, a junior from Concord; Briana Traynor, a senior from Rockport, Mass.; Lauren Barton, a senior from Sanford, Fla.; Alyssa Guida, a first-year student from Tewksbury, Mass.; Olivia Fiore, a sophomore from Brightwaters, N.Y.; Brian Morley, a first-year student from Tewksbury, Mass.; Christina Kelly, a senior from Foxboro, Mass.; Katharine Paiva, a first-year student from Manchester; and Cady Hickman, a junior from Merrimack and an alumna of Reeds Ferry Elementary School.
Students at Merrimack's Reeds Ferry Elementary School learned about making healthy food choices and the importance of exercise during an energy-packed performance of "The Tale of Rollie Robin," which was created and performed by University of New Hampshire theater students. There was singing, dancing, giggle-filled moments and even Angry Birds, much to the delight of the second and third-graders watching the play.
The play "The Tale of Rollie Robin," which took place recently during a school assembly, was the fall class project for UNH's Theatre for Young Audiences course. It was borne out of the children's story book of the same name that is part of an obesity awareness and prevention program designed to encourage physical activity and health food choices. It tells the tale of a bird, Rollie Robin, who has trouble flying because he eats the wrong foods. Rollie learns that by eating better and exercising through play, he is healthier. The program is targeted at students in kindergarten through third grade.
"In my Methods of Teaching Theatre course, we talk about process-oriented teaching. I wanted to give my students an experiential understanding of this teaching method, and Theatre for Young Audiences was the best course for this. This offered an excellent opportunity to not only provide my students with practical experience but to also draft a piece of theater that can now be shared with more elementary schools. I hope in the future to use our script for the UNH Theatre & Dance Artsreach Tour," said Raina Ames, associate professor of theatre and dance.
The children's story book and awareness program was created by Bill Scott, a professor of applied business management at the Thompson School of Applied Sciences at UNH. Scott creates children's awareness and prevention programs in his free time as a community service. Rollie Robin is the second children's awareness program Scott has created; his first program was the Samantha Skunk Smoking Prevention Program, which he was inspired to create by his daughter who suffers from asthma.
"When I asked my grandchildren what kind of animal would be most harmed by eating the wrong food, they immediately suggested a bird. After many discussions with my grandchildren, the acronym Healthy Eating Lots of Play was developed and Rollie Robin was born. Oops. Hatched," Scott says.
Last summer, Scott approached Ames about having "The Tale of Rollie Robin" story book adapted as a children's play.
"Adaptations such as 'The Tale of Rollie Robin' are incredibly important. Reading a story is one thing, but when the story comes to life, it is something entirely different. The students are brought into Rollie's world and that helps them connect to the content on a deeper level," says Briana Traynor, a senior from Rockport, Mass., who plays Rollie's older sister Ruby Robin.
Traynor says the project of adapting Rollie Robin as a play has been an invaluable experience as she plans a career as an elementary school teacher who uses arts integration to enrich her lessons.
"This project has been a culmination project for me as a theater educator. I have loved learning all about the importance of the arts, especially theater, for kids inside and outside of the classroom. I have been able to take everything that I have learned in the theater education program so far and combine it in this project. That has been incredibly rewarding," Traynor says.
Lauren Barton, a senior from Sanford, Fla., was involved behind the scenes with directing and blocking, writing, and overseeing the props.
"The most worthwhile part of being involved in this project has been learning how to direct with others, learning how to write a children's script, and knowing that our show could change the lives of the students who see it for the better," Barton said.
After she graduates, Barton plans to work as a high school drama teacher and high school director. "This class has taught me how to build a show from the ground up. The experience of interpreting text, blocking, directing, and organizing all technical elements of a show has been invaluable," she says.
Sophomore Olivia Fiore of Brightwaters, N.Y., says her experience in this class has taken her one step toward a career working for public television and creating educational television.
"Only so much is gained from just listening. When you add visuals, musical numbers, and audience participation, the message comes alive. Our society is too focused on how we look instead of our overall health. Hopefully by seeing Rollie, kids will see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, not how beautiful you are," Fiore says.

Whatever the cause, product errors make an application unpleasant to use if they are not handled properly. They can lead to a crash or freeze during normal use, and they can endanger user data. Users become frustrated and developers look incompetent. To guard against product errors, developers should make Cocoa projects error-tolerant. This means being able to encapsulate an error as it occurs, to dispatch it, and to respond to it properly. Cocoa provides us with the tools to accomplish this in the form of the
NSError and
NSResponder classes. In this article, I examine how to create an error object and how to dispatch it on the application's event loop. I will also explore how to respond to the error, as well as how to alter it, and finally, how to assign the right recovery routine to an error.
To follow, you'll need a basic understanding of Objective-C. All featured code is applicable to both OS X and iOS projects, unless stated otherwise.
The Error Object
NSError class (Figure 1) serves as the basis for an error object. It lets the error be identified and categorized. It can carry a collection of localized strings needed to describe the error. It can even invoke a recovery routine for the given error.
Figure 1.
NSError offers two ways to create an error object. One way is with the factory method
errorWithDomain:code:userInfo:. This method takes three input arguments: the error domain, its unique code ID, and a support dictionary. It can accept a nil in place of the support dictionary. It marks the error object for autorelease for easy disposal.
NSString *eTyp; NSInteger *eID; NSError *eErr; eTyp = [NSString stringWithString:@"FooErrType"]; eID = 0xf00; eErr = [NSError errorWithDomain:eTyp code:eID userInfo:nil];
Another way to create the
NSError object is with the instance method
initWithDomain:code:userInfo:. This also takes the same three arguments as the factory method. It does not, however, mark the resulting error object for autorelease. It should be used together with an
alloc message. The error object should be disposed of with a release message.
eErr = [[NSError alloc] initWithDomain:eTyp code:eID userInfo:nil]; //... [eErr release];
NSError class uses three accessors to retrieve parts of the error data. The accessor code returns the code ID as an
NSInteger. The accessor domain returns the error domain as an
NSString. And the accessor
userInfo returns the support dictionary as an
NSDictionary object.
NSError also has accessors for the support dictionary. For instance, the accessor
localizedDescription returns a concise description of the error. The accessor
localizedFailureReason gives the cause of that error. And the accessor
localizedRecoverySuggestion describes the recovery routine.
The accessor
localizedRecoveryOption returns an
NSArray object. This array object carries one or more text objects used for populating an alert dialog. The accessor
recoveryAttempter returns a pointer to the ObjC object supplying the recovery routine.
Preparing the Error Object
Creating an
NSError object is straightfoward, but how is the data be prepared for the error object? There are three principal steps to the process.
1. Pick the error domain.
An error domain describes the general locale of the error. There are four possible domains. Errors caused by low-level code, such as those from kernel routines, are from the Mach domain (
NSMachErrorDomain). Those made by calls to a POSIX library are from the POSIX domain (
NSPOSIXErrorDomain). Errors that came from the Carbon library have an OS status domain (
NSOSStatusErrorDomain). And those that came from a Cocoa class have a Cocoa domain (
NSCocoaErrorDomain). Each error domain gets its own constant
NSString object. We can, of course, define our own domain when developing a custom ObjC framework.
2. Choose the appropriate error code.
This is usually a signed integer (
NSInteger). Most error codes are declared by the same header files that can be accessed from any C routine. For instance, error codes for the Mach domain are in the file
/usr/include/mach/kern_return.h. Those for the POSIX domain are in
/usr/include/sys/errno.h. Carbon error codes are declared by the file
MacErrors.h, which sits inside the framework bundle
CarbonCore.framework. Similarly, Cocoa error codes are declared by their respective frameworks: Foundation, AppKit, Core Data, and so on.
3. Assemble the support dictionary.
The support dictionary provides the information needed to further describe the error. By default, it carries localized strings that can be displayed in an alert dialog or written to a log file. Supplying a support dictionary is optional.
Each dictionary entry is assigned a unique key. Cocoa itself declares five
NSString constants to serve as keys for the default entries. The error description gets the constant
NSLocalizedDescriptionKey, the failure reason
NSLocalizedDescriptionKey. The array object gets
NSLocalizedRecoveryOptionsErrorKey, the recovery description
NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestionErrorKey. And the optional recovery object gets
Listing One demonstrates how to create a basic error object. This sample snippet starts by importing the file
Foundation.h. It creates an instance of the Cocoa class
NSFileManager (line 9) and declares the path to the file "
Foo.text" (lines 10-11). Then it sends a
fileExistsAtPath: message to
tMgr to check for the file (line 12). If the file exists, the snippet runs the desired file operation. If not, it creates an
NSError object, sets the error code to 4 (missing file or
NSFileNoSuchFileError), the error domain to
NSCocoaErrorDomain (lines 19-21). Notice this error object gets a nil for its support dictionary.
Listing One
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> . . . NSFileManager *tMgr; NSString *tPth; BOOL tChk; tMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; tPth = [NSString stringWithString:@"~/Documents/Foo.text"]; tPth = [tPth stringByExpandingTildeInPath]; tChk = [tMgr fileExistsAtPath:tPth]; if (tChk) { // perform a file operation... } else { NSError *eErr; eErr = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSCocoaErrorDomain code:4 userInfo:nil]; // dispatch the error object...
Listing Two shows how to prepare the support dictionary. First, the snippet creates an instance of
NSMutableDictionary (line 10). It prepares two constant
NSString objects and stores them under their respective keys (lines 13-19). Then the snippet creates the
NSError object, passing the support dictionary (
eData) to the factory method (lines 21-22).
Listing Two
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> . . . NSMutableDictionary *eData; NSString *eDesc, *eFail; NSError *eErr; // create a dictionary object eData = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:2]; // prepare the support dictionary eDesc = [NSString stringWithString:@"Could not locate the file Foo.text."]; [eData setObject:eDesc forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey]; eFail = [NSString stringWithString:@"The file simply did not exists"]; [eData setObject:eFail forKey:NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey]; eErr = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSCocoaErrorDomain code:4 userInfo:eData]; // dispatch the error object...
NSError object is immutable once created. Its data cannot be changed, only copied into or replaced with a separate error object. Several Cocoa classes also return
NSError objects as part of their method calls. Use those error objects instead of creating your own.

Thanks for your follow up email. I had intended to shoot you a message telling you what a great time I had!
First, many thanks to you (plus D'Angelo and Michael Alan) for custom designing an itinerary that fully achieved my travel goals. And everything pretty much went like clockwork, from the airport pickup to the pickups for the various activities during the week. Everyone was on time, as was I! None of this "Tico time" stuff you hear about. :-) I enjoyed all the tours/adventures (Poas Volcano, ziplining, rafting, Manuel Antonio National Park, etc.), so kudos also to the tour companies that you coordinated with.
Both hotels were also great. I loved the central location of El Presidente in San Jose (and you guys were right -- 2 nights in SJ was perfect), and the Villa Rocca in Manuel Antonio was also the right place for a solo traveler, such as me, to stay. Fantastic view from my room at the Villa Rocca! The staff and other guests were quite friendly, and I was easily able to join up with others for beach trips and meals (and I even got someone to go rafting with me). I would definitely recommend both hotels to others (and I already have), just as I will surely recommend your travel agency to friends. I definitely plan to visit Costa Rica again!
This was truly a relaxing vacation that also met all my outdoor adventure needs. As someone who enjoys traveling and learning about other cultures, for my return trip to CR I guess that I will also want to find a way to get off the beaten track and go beyond some of the tourist destinations and visit some local villages -- and meet some Costa Ricans who do not work in the tourism industry. There just wasn't enough time to do everything on this trip.
It was a pleasure to work with you, Renee, so thanks again for all your help. Pura Vida!
Pretty nice, right? It would look so GOOD on TripAdvisor. I suppose I should be careful what I wish for and if you watch this video, you'll understand why I say that. eNjOY!

The DLB had the chance to speak to The Last Exorcist Part II director Ed Gass-Donnelly last week in his hometown of Toronto about working with series star Ashley Bell, shooting in New Orleans, his vision for the franchise, and working with a low budget
First of all, tell me about New Orleans. Tell me about, obviously the typical thing is it's a character in the movie, certainly Louisiana was very much a character in the first one, in terms of depression of Ashley's character, Nell; talk about working there and New Orleans as a character in your film.
Well, the big thing for me is that you've got this girl in the first movie that has lived in such a repressed environment. Her father won't even let her go to school and won't let her listen to music that's not Christian music, so I loved the idea of what would it be like for that girl to suddenly be…the movie starts with her sort of lost and feral in the woods, almost no memory of what happened, and then she gets put into a transitional home in New Orleans, so you go from like a cabin in the woods where you have no sense of culture, to suddenly being in the middle of Mardi Gras, and certainly what I love about horror movies is it a chance to explore bigger themes and ideas but in a very sort of pop culture environment, so to me this movie is sort of a metaphor for ultimately girls discovering their own voice and sexuality.
