Serving the Film and Television Industry in New England
Dudleytown Curse - the 49th Key from Dudleytown Curse on Vimeo.
Description of Project:
The Guerilla-Syyle Indie Horror Film "Dudleytown Curse - the 49th Key" is Filming in Sturbridge (area), Massachusetts and Connecticut in October, 2011, with Doug Kirkpatrick and John Hartman co-directing. The film is to be produced by Red Barn Media. This project has been in development since 2006 after extensive research, many obstacles, and much effort. The film follows a group of college students who dare venture to Dudleytown, Connecticut - a real place once described by Dan Ackroyd. the actor, as "the scariest place on Earth" -- due to its tattered history. The settlement in Dudleytown is now abandoned and a legend reports that the area and its inhabitants were cursed. The area has been reported to be an epicenter of paranormal activity. The approximately 1,000 acres of land upon which Dudleytown is situated is owned by private landowners! Do not go there!! There is a standing order for the police to arrest and prosecute trespassers which should be taken very seriously. Please respect the privacy of the private landowners!
Cast Information:
This is a gruelling non-union project and will require long hours, dedication by the entire team, and extreme conditions; it is not for the faint-hearted. Actors may be required to camp multiple overnights under arduous conditions on location. The film will be shot in High Def Video and Super 8mm film using a scripted outline with improv style. Participants must demonstrate a high level of commitment and passion for the project. Dererred Compensation arrangements with possible funding for gas and minimal expenses (depending on level of funding). We hope to create a cult classic that will draw upon a grass roots viral marketing and an underground distribution strategy. Our plan is to partake in various film festivals as soon as possible. This is your opportunity to participate in a project that we believe will be remarkanble and hopefully groundbreaking. For cast positions, please e-mail headshot and resume to: email@example.com. If interested in a volunteer crew position, please e-mail us at the above e-mail.
Free Speech, the Rights of Filmmakers and Resistence to the Project:
The private landowners do not wish this film to be made or, seemingly, any information to be released about Dudleytown. We have received information that the association of landowners sought to suppress an article about Dudleytown in National Geographic. which failed. Although we respect the rights of the landowners, we believe we, as filmmakers, have a First Amendment right to tell the story about the incidents at Dudleytown. We anticipate that there will be resistence to our efforts as there has been in the past. We need your help! By making a contribution to our project, you are not only helping this independent film, but you are supprting the rights of filmmakers everywhere to tell stories freely, despite resistence, and attempts to suppress their rights to do so!
Please Suppourt Our Project by Making Even a Small Contributuin:
We Need Funding for the Project!. The Prinicipals in the Project Have Invested over $65,000 in real cash dollars to date and need Additional Funding to Commence and Complete Principal Photography. We are Asking for a Contributon to Our IndieGogo Fundraise Campaign. We Can't Do This Without the Contributions of Many People.

What should we do? Wait? Use ZiPhone???
What are the advantages and the disadvantages???
What should we do? Wait? Use ZiPhone???
What are the advantages and the disadvantages???
i am in two minds aswell... it all depends on geo's custom bootloader really..
SEARCH!!! Its really not that hard!!
Same here guys...
Been debating what to do for a couple of days now. Custom 4.6BL would be cool - but would be easily detectable.
Oh man! I wish I could make up my mind to wait around for a "possible" custom 4.6BL, or just go with the downgrade and enjoy a full 1.1.3 iPhone with 4.03.13 and google maps locate me working etc.
Main disadvantage is that with BL3.9 you have to crack open your iPhone to go back up!
gmaps works fine, just use locateme once each time you restart... its not that much troubledowngrade and enjoy a full 1.1.3 iPhone with 4.03.13 and google maps locate me working etc.
and that downgrading could completely brick your iphoneMain disadvantage is that with BL3.9 you have to crack open your iPhone to go back up!
Phil | MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Leopard | iPhone 8GB
I'm in the same situation. I had a 1.1.2 happily jailbroken and when ziphone came out I finally thought it was time to make the move to 1.1.3. Little did I know until after the iTunes restore and after the jailbreak that the new baseband needs to be patched to allow me to use the O2 PAYG SIM I was using (baseband hack isn't required under 1.1.2). So now I have a jailbroken 1.1.3 with no signal. Considering that 1.1.3 can be unlocked under 3.9 and now that 4.6 has been exploited I wouldn't imagine some unlock solution for the newest baseband/4.6BL will be too far off so until that time happens my SIM is currently in my dusted off Treo. I got into this situation by being impatient so I'm going to get out of it by being patient
The risk of permanently bricking your phone is too high for me to consider the 3.9 downgrade unless it's an absolute last resort.
I have locate me installed, and the only way i can make "locate me" work in gmaps, is by first starting "Locate me", press "show map" and from there press "locate me"!! the way you describe, are NOT working for me.
Anyway, that's off the topic, if i could easily downgrade my bootloader to 3.9, and upgrade baseband to 4.03.13 i would, just to make "locate me" function work, (not that i use it much, but it's neat ;-))
Last edited by ridderdk; 02-15-2008 at 03:40 PM.
I think there will be a way to upgrade the bootloader from 3.9 to 4.6 with software. So for now I just downgrade to 3.9
can someone put us out of our misery???
According to Zibri's blog, there arent any case of bricked iphones using ZiPhone 2.2...
OMG, i can't think of anything else...
Thanks for making the title coherent!
If you go back down, and if you by any chance need to go back up, how will you go back up? Thats why you shouldnt go down.....not yet anyways. No hurry
MSN/AIM? PM me

Unless you're rich and got more than 1 iphone on your hand then you should give it a try. If you got 1 phone that's working perfectly then why would you want to downgrade?
Google Locate me is useless unless you're a new driver or you're a delivery guy. I hardly use it on my phone.

Washington, DC -
01/04/2010 - Shelley A. Hearne, managing director of the Pew Health Group, issued the following statement commending the passage of food safety legislation:"Congress and President Obama should be applauded for enacting historic food safety legislation that will provide the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with improved authorities to oversee the safety of the nation's food supply and prevent foodborne illness. This reform is the first major update to the law in over 70 years."Americans sitting at their dinner tables should have greater confidence that their food will be safe as this long-overdue law is put into place. Preventable foodborne illness sickens millions and kills thousands of Americans every year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Disease outbreaks from pathogens in FDA-regulated products such as eggs, produce, peanut products and many processed foods illustrate the need to update government safety oversight of both domestically-produced and imported foods. "Measures in the legislation will strengthen safety standards for food facilities and fresh produce, improve inspection requirements, help limit the dangers in foods that come from outside our borders and provide the FDA with the power to issue a mandatory recall of contaminated food, among other authorities. This is crucial, because the FDA is responsible for the safety of 80 percent of the nation's food supply."We would like to thank the leaders of this historic bipartisan effort – Reps. John Dingell (D-MI) and Henry Waxman (D-CA), as well as Sens. Richard Durbin (D-IL), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Michael Enzi (R-WY), Richard Burr (R-NC), Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Judd Gregg (R-NH)."Without the tireless work of our colleagues in the Make Our Food Safe coalition – particularly the advocates who have been personally impacted by foodborne illness – this legislation would never have been enacted. In addition, we would like to note the support of our industry allies, particularly the Grocery Manufacturers Association, who helped make sure the legislation reached the president's desk."Again, we would like to applaud the president today for signing food safety legislation and sending a message that Americans should be able to trust that the food they eat and feed their families is safe."

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) and UNIDO's Green Industry Initiative
The Global Environment Facility (GEF), established in 1991, unites 181 member governments — in partnership with international institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector — to address global environmental issues.
As an independent financial organization, the GEF provides grants to developing countries and countries with economies in transition for projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, the ozone layer, and persistent organic pollutants.
The focus of UNIDO's support via these energy and environmental programmes is to assist countries in putting in place the policy, institutional and financial frameworks in the GEF focal areas. UNIDO has major activities in the focal areas of Climate Change, International Waters, Ozone Depletion, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Land Degradation and supports more than 50 countries in achieving sustainable industrial development under the GEF mandate.
The strategic focus is on two key areas: (a) promoting the cleaner and more efficient use of resources and energy by industry; and (b) facilitating productive activities (particularly in rural areas) through the provision of modern energy supplies based on renewable energy.
Where industry is already established, UNIDO offers technical cooperation to industry and enterprises to become more sustainable in their use through resource and energy efficiency measures, including systems optimization approaches, and by supporting the strengthening of international and national energy/environment management standards.
Given UNIDO's intervention in strengthening the linkages between resource/
energy efficiency and sustainable development in the industrial sector, the GEF Council in its 30th meeting in December 2006 decided that UNIDO, along with ADB, AfDB, EBRD, FAO, IDB and IFAD, should have direct access to the GEF Funds, on an equal basis along with the three historical GEF Implementing Agencies, UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank. This decision has given UNIDO a unique opportunity to enhance the impacts of its GEF Portfolio. UNIDO-GEF recognizes the importance that greening the industrial sector requires a holistic approach, with both energy and environmental policies/strategies playing strong and defining roles.
In November 2009, the GEF Council approved UNIDO's work program comprising of seven large scale projects in the focal areas of Climate Change, POPs and Ozone Depleting Substance with a total GEF funding amounting to US$ 36.1 million. One of the approved projects innovatively addressed the multi-focal areas of Climate Change, Technology Transfer and Ozone Depleting Substance.
By the end of 2009, UNIDO had a total of US$257 million of GEF-supported pipeline; GEF allotments amounted to US$ 138.3 million; cumulative expenditures under GEF projects as of end 2009 were US$ 94.8 million.
The past years have proven that the initial phase of the GEF-UNIDO partnership
with member governments has marked a significant increase in UNIDO portfolio
of energy and environmental based projects. Continued collaboration between the organizations has resulted in greater synergy between economic, social and environmental aspects of developing countries and economies in transition activities.

ROCKVILLE- Santa Claus took a break from his Christmas preparations last Thursday and travelled here to kick off the City's holiday season in style with songs, dancing, and more.
Rockville Town Square was abuzz with the holiday spirit Thursday night as a large number of Rockville residents braved the cold begin their holiday celebrations. The events began with the guest of honor Allison Seymour, FOX 5 news anchor, who introduced the dignitaries that included Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio, Council members Tom Moore and Bridget Newton, and of course Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Marcuccio spoke to the crowd briefly before the tree lighting.
"We are so proud of Rockville Town Center and of this town. You have done wonderful things to make this town what it is. I'm so glad so many of you were able to join us tonight. The Christmas spirit is in all of us and I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful holiday season," said Marcuccio.
After a countdown with help from Santa Claus the stunning tree on Maryland Avenue lit up to oohs, aahs, and applause from the crowd. Following the lighting Rockville Town Square bustled with excitement. There was a stage dedicated for dance performances by the Dawn Crafton Dance Connection.
"The tree looks beautiful. It has been a lot of fun. My daughter danced on the stage earlier to Frosty the Snowman. The whole family came out tonight. It was a great time," said Heather Eig, a Rockville resident.
Featured during the celebration were Ice Dancing and student ensembles by the Adventure Theater Musical Theater Center. Residents were also treated to horse and carriage rides through town center. Of course no Christmas celebration would be complete without pictures with Santa. This proved to be the most popular attraction of the night.
Kate Adams of Rockville was waiting in line with her husband and young son for their turn to meet Santa. Adams and her family were at the back of the line, but they did not let that damper their mood.
"It's been wonderful. We were here early last year and decided to come later this year. It doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference. The first time my son didn't do so well with Santa; he cried. So we're hoping it goes better this year," said Adams.
After the celebration Marcuccio remarked on how well Rockville Town Square is doing in the colder months now that the ice rink is on site and it has become a destination in the winter as well as the summer.
"It's a great boosts for businesses with that ice rink there and the tree lighting brought so many people out. It was great way to bring kids and families out. The dancers were really spectacular. I really enjoyed watching them perform. I think events like that give Rockville an identity. It was a lovely night and a great way to begin the holidays," said Marcuccio.

"What's the best year I've ever had? What is it? What year did I put up my best numbers?" Ethier says. I can't even remember the name of all my relatives.
"Thirty home runs, 103 RBI," says Ethier, and actually it was 31 home runs and 106 RBIs. "Wouldn't you say that's my best year? And that's the worse I have ever hit against lefties."
He says people should judge him on his overall contributions and most folks would be thrilled with 30 home runs and 103 RBIs.
Don't tell me; tell Mattingly.
A year ago, Mattingly was talking about maybe platooning Ethier, but then the Dodgers gave him $85 million to apparently only hit righties. Now Mattingly is talking again about making changes if Ethier doesn't improve against lefties.
"What's any of that have to do with where we stand right now?'' says an exasperated Ethier. To be technical, if Ethier had hit left-handers better, the Dodgers might be ahead of the Cardinals rather than behind them.
Ethier is on edge and in a raised voice he's talking about the media doing this and the media doing that, and the only media person talking to him is me and I was here to let him know how important he is to the Dodgers' cause, which means I think he's pretty good.
When it's Mattingly's turn to talk before the game, he says it's important players remain calm. I tell him Ethier is on edge. Mattingly says he doesn't want to talk about Ethier because it has nothing to do with Monday night's game with the Giants.
I guess he doesn't think Ethier will be a factor in the game.
Mattingly then spends his time explaining why he would take Miguel Cabrera over Mike Trout as American League MVP.
Ethier finishes taking batting practice and stops by to chat some more. He says he's sorry for the interview going off track, blames himself and cracks a few jokes.
He's thoughtful and understanding, while explaining how badly he wants to help the Dodgers to win.
If only he could make such adjustments when hitting against left-handers.
"I always want to play,'' he says. "When I would get a text from Donnie during the season telling me he was giving me an off day, I would text back telling him that I wanted to play. Wait a half hour and do it again.''
He says he misunderstood what was being said earlier and all the fight in him is directed to the opposition.
He's all smiles as we talk. I tell him he's ruined the column I was going to write on our clubhouse confrontation by making nice. I sure hope Jim Mora never matures.
I tell him he needs to make amends. I suggest he do something special in Monday night's game.
So he does. Ethier hits a two-run homer, and then Mattingly pulls him in the ninth as part of a double switch so Elian Herrera can hit in the pitcher's place.
Herrera then drives in the winning run, the Dodgers are still breathing and now they must face the Giants' Barry Zito.
Zito is left-handed.
Is there any doubt who starts in right for the Dodgers?

Choose from one of our current Eminence Organic Seasonal Facials. Seasonal facials change throughout the year so check our website for details on our current facials.
Tucked away in a tiny shopping center housing both Dolce Vita and Hyde Park Bar & Grill, Blossom is easy to miss, but once you experience it, impossible to forget. The atmosphere here is intimate and personal, and the massage therapists extremely attentive to your body concerns -- but my personal favorite is the "90 Minute Ultimate Pampering Facial," which defines "face" liberally. It comes with a hand, arm, and chest massage, so while your skin is getting polished, you're getting a whole upper body treatment as well.
Best Spa in Austin!!!!!! – Best facial and massage I have ever had. Recently on a visit I had the chance to stop into Blossom Spa on the advice from a friend. I had both a massage and facial. Samantha is AWESOME.. what a facial, my skin felt young and rejuvinated, totally awesome. The massage was so relaxing. I have been using Eminence for a while and was delighted to discover they also use it and sell it. By the time I left the spa I felt like a whole new person. I highly recommend if you are in Austin, you make the time for yourself and go enjoy a facial (it is the absolute best, Samantha is a master!!). A special thank you to my friend for recommending it. Blossom Spa is now an absolute must anytime I am in Austin..
Look no further for a world class massage! – I have treated myself to a massage at least once or twice a month for more than 8 years now. Both here in the US and while living in Europe. Recently I moved to Austin and thought that I would have a difficult time finding an intuitive massage therapist of the caliber that I had become accustomed to. Blossom Spa is a wonderful place and Elizabeth is incredibly talented. She is one of the best massage therapists that I have ever experienced and there have been many. I highly recommend Blossom!
Great Ambiance & Excellent Service! – I have had waxing done by Samantha as well as a facial, and she is excellent at both. Waxing, while never pleasant, was made less painful by her wonderful bedside manner. After my facial I was so relaxed I could have fallen asleep right there! The spa is decorated beautifully and I couldn't recommend this place more. Added bonus: it's next to some fabulous restaurants, so you can pop in for a great lunch before or after your treatments!
Best Massage Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – Just had the most amazing massage off adrienne, she REALLY knows her craft, wow she helped my sore shoulder and knee. and also told me how to stretch each day so it will help keep it loose and limber and pain free . Would HIGHLY recommend her can not wait for my next appointment . This place rocks.

Suspended Missouri guard Michael Dixon will not be returning to the Tigers. Already suspended, Dixon announced via statement that he would be transferring. The announcement came just hours after the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had posted a story regarding a second rape allegation aimed at Dixon.
According to Dixon's statement:
"It's been a challenging few months. And while I appreciate the support of many in the Mizzou community, including my coaches and teammates, it's in the best interest of me, my family and the University of Missouri for me to finish my career elsewhere."
Dixon was voted the Big 12′s Sixth Man of the Year last year as a junior.

Lighting: Illuminating Choices
The lighting fixtures shooters select for tabletop, underwater, TV programming and HDSLRs
By Christine Bunish
Howard Hall used tungsten sealed-beam movie lights to film the 70mm IMAX 3D feature, Under the Sea 3D.
Michele Hall - Photgrapher/Creator/Copyright holder
New lighting fixtures continually come on the market offering shooters and lighting designers new creative options and greater efficiencies. But adding these revolutionary or evolutionary new products to their lighting kits doesn't mean discounting the instruments they've come to depend on job after job. A noted tabletop director, a leading advocate of HDSLR video, a distinguished underwater cinematographer and an in-demand lighting designer share the contents of their lighting kits today.
Tried-and-True Delivers Appetite Appeal
For tabletop commercial director Tom Ryan, with Dallas-based Directorz (www.directorz.net), there are no formulas for lighting food spots. "It's all about appetite appeal," he says. "I try to give every client I work with their own look."
Ryan primarily shoots film, although he has switched to the Phantom camera for high-speed photography, and uses a tight-grain slow film stock that demands "a certain amount of wattage" from his lighting package. He typically uses Mole-Richardson tungsten 20K, 10K and 5K fixtures for interiors and HMIs for exteriors supplemented with focusable spot sources, lekos and dedo kits.
Ryan has experimented a bit with LEDs "but for the amount of light we use, they're not always practical," he points out. "The beauty of LEDs is that they don't take a lot of power, they don't put out a lot of heat and they're great on location."
Tom Ryan relied on tungsten sources for "ultra-macro" shots of a luscious lime wedge in Taco Bell's
"Cantina Tacos."
Ryan's tried-and-true lighting approach with conventional fixtures gives him a lot of latitude to create the different looks and moods his spot clients require.
In Taco Bell's "Cantina Tacos" with lime commercial, "conceptually the lime was a character and we wanted it to really pop," he explains. Ryan shot the tacos bursting with filling, their shiny aluminum foil and a drop of juice clinging to a luscious lime wedge, with a pair of ARRI 35mm cameras. The exterior patio was lit with HMIs; for "ultra-macro" shots of the food he blacked out daylight and went back to tungsten sources.
Ryan's stylish "Whole Meals" spot for Whole Foods was "influenced by old-school Irving Penn photos with clean white backgrounds," he notes. "The challenge was not to let the background overpower what I was shooting" — simple, fresh ingredients, white table linens, butcher paper and brown bags. "It would have been easy to wash out what the focal point of the pictures should be, and if you went too much the other way things would have become muddy and gray. So it was pretty critical to keep the balances consistent." Ryan took light-meter readings of the backgrounds and foregrounds and aimed for 2.5 stops difference; once that was established he kept the balance consistent across the board with his usual complement of tungsten fixtures.
He even kept the white-on-white place settings "in the same range as if they were ingredients" making "some creative decisions" as he went along about how much fill to add to separate the tone on tone.
Tom Ryan of Directorz puts the finishing touches on some limes for a Taco Bell spot.
Taco Cabana's evocative spot showing Lenore Segura in her kitchen assembling the ingredients for a brisket taco features "Rembrandt-style" lighting that "lets the shadows go and the highlights be simple and single source," says Ryan. "Where there were shadows on her we let them go dark, but we softly illuminated the walls behind her so the highlights separate the shadow."
|Tom Ryan was influenced by Irving Penn photos when he lit
"Whole Meals," a classic of appetite appeal for Whole Foods.
Ryan initially lit the spot with overhead Kino Flo sources then "backed away and decided it needed a more painterly feel," and turned instead to his trusty tungstens.
Slow liquid pours are part of a tabletop director's repertoire and Ryan's "Once a Day" spot for the Florida Department of Citrus showcases the appeal of a simple glass of orange juice against white limbo. Ryan shot the entire spot with a Phantom using a lighting scheme similar to what he would have used with a Photosonics high-speed film camera.
"It took a lot of light — 20Ks with dimmers," he recalls. "With the white background we needed twice as much light on the background as on the juice. When I'm shooting video I'd rather shoot it a bit wider aperture so you get a bit of fall off for a more filmic look." A broad source gave shape and highlights to the slow pours that wash up against the glass like waves in extreme close ups. Delicious!

Thinking Out of the Box with HDSLRs
An early proponent of Canon's EOS 5D Mark II HD-video enabled DSLR (HDSLR), Shane Hurlbut, A.S.C. (www.hurlbutvisuals.com) has used the camera to shoot features (Act of Valor), webisodes (Terminator Salvation) and commercials. He also hosts the Hurlbut Visuals Bootcamp to share his HDSLR knowledge.
|Key grip John Brunold rigs Shane Hurlbut's eight-foot
custom baton light in a spa cabana in Cancun.
A longtime film cinematographer, Hurlbut reschooled himself on lighting when he moved to the 5D. "With HD lighting is king — it's the key element," he says. "You need to use light to create a depth and dimension."
He notes that, "with film you use your light meter as a tool to gauge exposure. But with HDSLRs the light meter is only used to match lighting from set up to set up, not as a gauge. I light to eye first then off my HP 2480 DreamColor monitor that becomes my viewfinder. Its color rendition and contrast are spot on."
Although every project has different lighting requirements Hurlbut always has Kino Flos and ETC Source Four PAR cans in his kit. "I love putting Kino Flos in the background or hiding them behind objects to bring things up, and I even key with them once and a while," he says. "The PAR cans are very high output, but very green-technology halogen lights. I can bounce them or color them. They're very efficient little lights to move around all the time."
Hurlbut's "go-to light" is one he built himself. The Baton comes in four- and eight-foot lengths and features 85w R30 spotlights whose bulbs touch so the fixture appears to be a line of light. "I put it on the floor, streak walls, key people," he explains. "It's the most beautiful hard soft light: It's creamy but controllable. I used it every day on We Are Marshall."
If he's shooting day interiors he may turn to 18Ks, 6K PARs and 4K PAR HMIs. "A lot of people who gravitate to HDSLRs don't use 18Ks, but these units are familiar to me as a cinematographer that shoots features."
Shane Hurlbut balanced the interior lighting to hold the beautiful aquamarine ocean in the distance at Dreams
Resort in Cancun.
He tapped 18Ks for a recent combo ARRI 35mm film and Canon 5D commercial shoot for the AM Resorts chain in Cancun, Mexico where "a lot of what we were doing was selling the palatial room interior and beautiful exterior location" of one of the resorts. "The 18Ks blew into the windows to mimic sun shafts."
Then Hurlbut and his Elite Team members, a group of lighting and camera technicians he calls "the cream of the crop with emerging HDSLR technology," positioned 4K, 6K and 1200 PARs in the interior to assist in bringing up the ambient light "so that we could expose for the room interior and hold the beautiful aquamarine color of the ocean."
Hurlbut also likes Chimera Pancakes and china balls for night interiors. "I don't use a lot of tungsten studio fixtures," he reports. "I do a lot of bounce lighting and book lighting where you diffuse the bounce. I like using 12-light Maxi Brutes to bounce into sources." He has used Litepanel LEDs for effects lighting and looks forward to using "eco-friendly" LEDs more often as the technology's price point drops.
Shane Hurlbut diffused two ARRI 18K fresnels for a Cancun AM Resorts shoot.
Hurlbut advises shooters migrating to HDSLRs to "get a small lighting kit and monitor together and start experimenting: Think out of the box. I threw out the rulebook and started fresh. The Elite Team and I are relying on our collective experience to take this platform to a new level."
He firmly believes that "lighting separates the men from the boys" in cinematography. "If you can light you can race far ahead of those who cannot. Lighting is such a powerful tool whether you're shooting with an HDSLR, film camera, RED or the Sony F35. It's mood, ambiance, vibe, style — it's artistry!"

LEDs Go Underwater
The distinguished DGA-member director/cinematographer Howard Hall, of Howard Hall Productions in Del Mar, California (www.howardhall.com), has dozens of films and TV programs to his credit, including several episodes of Nature, a special for National Geographic, films for PBS and BBC and four IMAX features, including his latest, Under The Sea 3D. He says the advent of LEDs that are "brighter and powerful enough" for underwater film shoots constitute "something of a revolution" in underwater lighting.
|Howard Hall chose Light & Motion LEDs for the
RED One camera.
"In the past, most of my work was done with tungsten lights which are not very efficient and must be powered with generators and cables from the surface," he points out. "Most LEDs can be battery operated because they require less power. This gives us greater mobility and cuts crew size."
Hall has used Light & Motion Sunray 2000x LEDs underwater but hasn't tried Gates Underwater's new LED fixtures yet. As the state of the art evolves he plans to customize his own LEDs, too.
"Since they require less power, battery operation works for us. And battery technology is also getting better so you can get more power out of a small pack," he reports.
Light & Motion LEDs are optimized for underwater cinematography. The company bills its compact SOLA600 LED as half the weight and size of its nearest competitor with better run time, beam pattern and power.

Light & Motion also offers the Sunray series of LEDs: the Sunray 600, 1200 and Hall's favored 2000x, a 16-LED array delivering 2000 lumens per head and up to 240 minutes run time.
|When Howard Hall was shooting the 70mm IMAX 3D feature,
Under The Sea 3D, he deployed tungsten sealed-beam
movie lights.

Gates Underwater Products recently debuted its new underwater LED lighting developed in collaboration with Subaqua Imaging Systems Inc. Suitable for broadcast/cinema use, the VL24 features 7000-lumen per LED manufacturer-rated output and one hour run time at full power.
This year Hall spent three weeks in the Maldive Islands and three weeks in Costa Rica shooting stock footage with his RED Digital Cinema RED One camera and battery-operated Light & Motion Sunray 2000x LEDs. "I generally use very wide-angle lenses underwater, and two or more lamps will give me enough beam angle to cover them," he explains. "RED's C-MOS sensor seems to like the bluer light produced by LEDs."
He still finds it necessary, however, to deploy tungsten instruments to get the wattage he often needs in the depths. Hall's tungsten kit features his own customized sealed-beam lamps housed in custom underwater enclosures and bracketry. "Most of our IMAX 70mm film work is lit with tungsten fixtures because it's a tungsten-balanced film stock," he notes. "Our Sony HDCAM shoots for broadcast are tungsten-balanced as well."
Howard Hall teamed sealed-beam movie lights with the Sony 900 camera.
Moving Lights Cross Over to Broadcast
Lighting designer Christopher Landy of Brooklyn-based Vibrant Design LLC (www.vibrantdesign.tv) hails from theater and live staging but has a considerable roster of broadcast credits, too. He's seen the lines blur in lighting for these markets and has watched what used to be specialty lighting instruments adapted for TV and film.
"Today a designer has to have all the tools in his pocket to cross over and do many things," he reports. "Turn on most late-night shows or talent competitions and you'll see a huge set filled with moving lights, LEDs and video content" — the kind of "glitz and technology" once reserved for rock 'n roll concerts.
When Landy started to work for MTV's Total Request Live in 1999, "moving lights were still not very common in most TV studios; they were still a specialty item," he recalls. "If you say 'MTV' people think production value and excitement, but their signature Times Square studio was all about the relationship between the artist and the studio and the kids on the street. The kids needed to see the artist [through the studio's glass walls], so ND'ing the windows [with Neutral Density filters] was never an option. Instead, we had to raise the light levels in the studio to incredibly high levels to compete with the daylight, thus making it difficult to incorporate color.
"So, when I came in, that was my challenge: How do we raise the bar and add excitement to the show through lighting? I kept their HMI daylight units so you could see the kids on the street and the performers, and I added color backlight on my first day. Then I added High End Studio Beams, the smallest, brightest moving lights I could get to compete with daylight, and eventually Martin Mac 2K washes when they came out. Six years later, we were up to about 75 moving lights in the studio, including VARI*LITEs."
Lighting designer Christopher Landy added a large complement of moving lights to more than a hundred
conventional fixtures to add depth, color and drama to the new set of Food Network Challenge.
But moving lights for broadcast aren't just confined to late-night headliners and MTV. Earlier this year, Landy's lighting design for Food Network Challenge, in which professional chefs vie for top honors in their specialties, gave depth to a huge new set in Denver and provided dynamic backgrounds to hold audience interest through eight hours of cake decorating. To achieve that he deployed VARI*LITE VL2500 spots, Martin Mac 700 washes, Color Kinetics' Colorblast 12s and Colorblazes and mixed in a pair of Litepanel LEDs plus more than a hundred conventional lekos, fresnels and PARs.
"After Who Wants to be a Millionaire people saw how moving lights could be used for dramatic effect," he says. "Then everybody wanted a Millionaire look. The competitive shows on Food Network use moving lights, especially the finale episodes that want a lot of color and drama."
Landy is a "huge fan" of VARI*LITE's optics for broadcast. "They've always been known for their even fields; the 2500 Series can be used on any TV show quite effectively," he reports. "They're nice and crisp, and you can see templates — pictures don't get muddy." He also favors Color Kinetics' Colorblasts, which he says are "very easy to set up and use — you can throw them into any show and you're good to go."
He's also using more Litepanel LEDs, which he calls "great on talent" and for food shows where you don't want a lot of heat on the ingredients. "Their size fits in confined spaces, and they have very consistent color temperatures," he adds.
Producers who haven't used moving lights and LEDs for TV may have misconceptions about how much they'll cost and the kind of look they'll create, he points out. "They may think they'll hate the look of moving lights until they see their washes of color, and they may not know how great LEDs can look. Moving lights actually save labor costs: Once you sit and program them you don't have crews up and down ladders on the set. And LEDS save power. Using these lights can be more efficient than old-school lighting solutions."

We got this for our daughter for Christmas. While I do wish it was a little larger, it is a great piece for toddlers. She spends a lot of time "cooking." The little towel bar on the side is great for hanging towels or other utensils, and the cupboards can be used as an oven, fridge, or whatever else your little one comes up with. The vibrant colours are gender-netural and beautiful!

Our aim is to create a market within the market that allows you
to "trade-in" your property for a smaller estate. In doing so, the
amount of equity or capital from your larger property is given to
you in a single sum.
Your home is obviously one of your greatest investments and our
goal is to allow you to exchange or swap it for another. In doing
so, you maintain the capital that you have built up and are able to
set yourself up with a lower cost property moving forward. This
"chain" design makes it possible to purchase homes at a rate that
gradually moves you up the estate ladder. Ultimately, it can be a
key cog in the acquisition of your dream home.
Farrell Heyworth has explored this concept for years and after
plenty of research and system design, we believe that we have it
perfected. The house exchange, or house swap, isn't just for those
that want to get a smaller or larger property. In many cases, a
simple change is needed, which is why two clients will have an
interest in similarly priced properties owned by the other. In this
case, they'll simply make a "flat exchange" with any excess capital
being paid to the partner with the higher property value. This
situation has led to many getting their ideal property without
hassle or extensive haggling.
There are two types of property swap:
What makes Farrell Heyworth's Property Swap work? The secret is
in our client base. This type of system will only succeed if an
agency has thousands of properties in its listings at any given
time. You are able to search through the various listings, find
something that's to your liking, and begin discussing a swap. If
you're looking to get into something smaller because the kids have
finally moved out, then you'll get all of the capital that
you've built up throughout your ownership period and get the
perfect location for your new home.
When it comes to downsizing, Farrell Heyworth is the place to
look. We strive to offer the best customer service and give the
best information available. Market volatility is much easier to
navigate when you have experts that are on your side. We always
take great care in valuing property, and once transactions are
completed, all parties are satisfied. It's the reason that we've
been in business for over 20 years, and have plans to be around
for a long, long time.
Farrell Heyworth Property Swap is a simple idea to enable your
dream move. For further details, or to join our Property
Swap programme, contact your local Farrell Heyworth branch.

Why study science?
If you enjoy investigating the natural world or doing experiments to solve problems, you might consider an education in the sciences.
"A degree in the sciences is a great basic foundation from which to do many exciting things," says Hildegarde Selig, PhD, an instructor in the environmental science program at the University of Phoenix Detroit Campus. She offers four reasons why this could be the path for you:
Science jobs are in demand.
Twenty percent of all jobs now require some background in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM), according to a June 2013 study by the Brookings Institution. "Having a science degree can be very helpful when it's time to look for a job," notes Selig, who was an environmental researcher at the University of Michigan.
"Even an associate-level degree in the sciences can give you an advantage," she adds. Fifty percent of STEM jobs … don't require a four-year degree, Brookings reports.
You can gain transferable skills.
"Many of the aptitudes you acquire while studying the sciences translate into the business environment," Selig notes.
"When people study disciplines such as biology or environmental science," she adds, "they have to learn 'concept mapping skills,'" which means figuring out how small parts fit together to make up a whole system. Concept mapping, she explains, is commonly used in business, such as when companies use a "product-to-market" flow chart to better understand their processes.
Science students also spend a lot of time solving problems. "Everything in science involves finding a workable solution to a different problem," Selig says, noting that critical-thinking skills and the ability to solve problems are assets in the corporate world.
Niche occupations will increase.
Emerging specialty jobs that require a science background are growing because Earth's natural resources are becoming scarce, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among those occupations are environmental quality certifiers, who measure atmosphere safety, and recycling-waste scientists, who find new ways to dispose of waste.
It's a solid foundation for further study.
Once you have a bachelor's in science, you're in a good position to go on to get a certificate to teach basic science. "There is a big push for teachers with [science] knowledge," Selig says, "and in some states, if you have a science degree, you can get a teaching certificate in just 18 months."
With the aging baby boomer population, more health care workers of all kinds also will be needed. Starting off with science is a great first step, Selig notes, because you'll always have it under your belt if you decide to pursue a graduate degree in the future. With the ability and desire, she says, "people with a bachelor's in science can go on to study to become a doctor, a nurse or a lab technician."

UC Irvine men's basketball team will not be making its first NCAA tournament appearance.
This is not the year to finally fear the Anteater.
Top-seeded Pacific jumped to an early lead Saturday night and never lost it on its way to a 64-55 win in the Big West championship game before a crowd of 6,795 at the Honda Center.
Pacific (22-12) led by as many as 13 points in the second half when Irvine (20-15) got energized after Will Davis II jammed in a jarring dunk off a lob pass from Michael Wilder.
Two more Irvine baskets cut the lead to six and forced a timeout with 13:35 left.
Irvine, though, later cut the lead to three on Daman Starring's three-pointer.
The Anteaters, however, could never get closer. Pacific made enough free throws in the final few minutes to seal the win.
The Tigers are headed back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006.
Tony Gill led Pacific with 19 points while Starring led Irvine with 19.
Pacific led by 11 at the half. Irvine managed only 20 points while making only seven of 27 shot attempts (25.9%). The Anteaters were one for 10 on their three-point attempts.
The only first-half good news for Irvine was the return of senior forward Adam Folker, who missed the last four games with a leg injury suffered at a March 6 practice. Folker averaged 15.8 points in his last four games but scored only two first-half points in 10 minutes.
Saturday's winner faces long odds, as a No. 15 or 16, in the NCAA tournament field.
ESPN's Joe Lunardi on Saturday night had the Big West champion (he projected Pacific) playing No. 2 Miami at the East subregional in Lexington, Ky. Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com projected Pacific in the West as a No. 2 playing New Mexico in Salt Lake City.
It's too bad one team had to lose because both had first-week NCAA tournament stories worth telling.
Pacific players were making one last run for Coach Bob Thomason, retiring this year after 25 seasons in Stockton.
"Obviously, you couldn't have scripted it any better," Thomason said on going to the NCAA tournament in his final season of coaching.
The 63-year-old Thomason entered Saturday's game with a 435-322 overall record, while his 248 Big West victories ranked most in conference history.
Thomason was recruited to Pacific by former coach Dick Edwards and averaged 17.2 points per game before the advent of the three-point clock.
He was named head coach in 1988 and has been in Stockton since.
Thomason isn't the sentimental type and was focused this week on getting his team through the Big West tournament.

10123 N Wolfe Rd Ste 2001, Cupertino, CA | Directions 9501437.326859 -122.015013
It has another name now - Tatami – After Todai became Tatami it has now better selection of foods, but, overall you will not see much changed.
The place is very nice and priced fairly. There is plenty of parking on the plaza and you would normally not have to wait in line to get in.
In my opinion that is the best Japanese buffet around of that size.
This enormous Japanese buffet attracts a diverse crowd for all-you-can-eat sushi and tempura. – In Short
The first Todai Restaurant debuted in 1985 in Santa Monica, Calif., and has since opened in locations across the U.S. and in Hong Kong. The restaurant, with seating for up to 500 people, features a 160-foot seafood buffet offering more than 40 kinds of sushi, all made fresh. The salad selection ranges from Caesar to seaweed to red potato salad. Hot entrees include sukiyaki, teriyaki chicken, sweet-and-sour pork and udon noodles.
Not worth the money – We took our mom to Todai for Mother's Day, it was so disappointed. Their sashimi and sushi are not as good as before. The king crab legs were still freezing cold, and the butter tasted bad. This place was best for the price when it first opened. Now it's totally not worth 25.99. I felt being ripped off. For the price of 5 of us, we could have mush better sushi somewhere else.

It's that easy. However, the guarantee does not cover blankets that have embroidery stitched on the barrel as it compromises the integrity of the blanket.
SmartPak customers are some of the most conscientious animal owners around. We encourage you to share your experience with the products we sell to help fellow customers to make informed choices for their animals. We do not edit these reviews in any way - they are direct customer-to-customer communication. We do monitor reviews for positive and negative feedback, and use this feedback to improve our selection as well as sharing feedback with product manufacturers to help them improve their products. Please note that we recommend consulting your vet with serious health issues.
