Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi have brought their show back to London, where they live and work. For the past several years, they've been transplanting themselves to New York every season, but now their homecoming makes sense on several levels. First, London has reorganized itself to run shows efficiently and on time. The Preen pair decided to try their chances at New York Fashion Week at a time when there was little faith that London could be taken seriously as a platform for professionals. Now, there's a generation of slightly younger peers—Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Mary Katrantzou, Roksanda Ilincic, etc.—who have polished the fashion standards of the city to a fine sheen. Good quality company to show in, then. And the other reason that trumps the lot is that the couple wouldn't have been able to travel anyway this season: Thea is due to give birth to their second child today.
So, there was the Preen collection, all navy-and-white and reptilian patchwork, wafting along in a supermodern wing of London's Natural History Museum at the crack of dawn Sunday morning. Wafting might seem an odd word to apply to a technique as stiff-sounding as patchwork—some of it in python—but there's an ease in Preen's pattern-cutting that has become second nature to them. They have the knack of making coherently wearable dresses, skirts, and shirts out of quite complex components like this season's snake, crocodile, and stingray prints, and mixing them with Breton stripes before slicing and placing flounces and hemlines on diagonals. That might all descend into fussy confusion, but the effect is the opposite, which has something to do with the visually sharpening addition of crisp white shirt collars and, beyond that, the overarching feeling that they're only interested in producing a young, modern, functioning wardrobe. Anyone in the European audience who hasn't seen a Preen collection since they went to New York might be taken aback by the level of accomplishment they've acquired—though it's no surprise to New York show regulars. Within this collection there's something for everyone: a woman who loves a trouser suit and T-shirt as a uniform as well as those who'd prefer to show a little leg in a cutaway, asymmetric skirt. Backstage, the couple received congratulations with their usual relaxed and happy aplomb, though Bregazzi's mind might just have been on Preen's next production. "Oooh," she breathed. "I've just been having a few twinges."

OK, so the podcast about the literature of Lost is now online in its entirety, and hopefully is of some interest to Lost fans . . . We covered a ton of stuff in here: past books from the show, including The Third Policeman, The Invention of Morel, VALIS; my feeling that the best aesthetic lens through which to approach Lost can be found in The Crying of Lot 49; some info about international literature and Open Letter; and a final bit about Macedonio Fernandez's The Museum of Eterna's Novel (The First Good Novel). All in all I had a great time talking with Jason and Matt and am now more psyched than ever for the season six premiere . . .
Anyway, the big news that we were able to work in is that Shusaku Endo's Deep River will appear in the sixth episode this season. Why this book? Well, check the Wikipedia description:
The story traces the journey of four Japanese tourists on a tour to India. Each of these tourists goes to India for different purposes and with different expectations. Even though the tour is interrupted when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is assassinated by militant Sikhs, each of these tourists finds their own spiritual discovery on the banks of the Ganges River.
One of the tourists is Osamu Isobe. He is a middle-class manager whose wife has died of cancer. On her deathbed she asks him to look for her in a future reincarnation. His search takes him to India, even though he has doubts about reincarnation.
Kiguchi is haunted by war-time horrors in Burma and seeks to have some Buddhist rituals performed in India for the souls of his friends in the Japanese army as well as his enemies. He is also impressed by a foreign Christian volunteer who helped his sick friend deal with the tragic experiences during the war.
Numada has a deep love for animals ever since he was a child in Manchuria. He believes that a pet bird he owns has died in his place. He goes to India to visit the bird sanctuary there.
Mitsuko Naruse, after a failed marriage, realizes that she is a person incapable of love. She goes to India hoping to find the spiritual meaning of life. There her idea of life is challenged by the awaiting Otsu, a former schoolmate she once cruelly seduced and then left. Although he had a promising career as a Catholic priest, Otsu's own idea of a pantheistic God and his criticism of the European view of God have led to his relegation by the Catholic Church. In his own way to imitate Jesus Christ, he helps carry dead Indians to the local crematoria so that their ashes can be spread to the waters of the Ganges. His efforts ultimately lead to his peril as he is caught in the anti-Sikh uproars in the country. Meanwhile, Mitsuko meets two nuns from the Missionaries of Charity and begins to understand Otsu's idea of God.
A pilgrimage, spiritual journey, cancer, reincarnation, failed marriages . . . All so very Lost . . .
Also very Lost-like is this little tidbit about Endo that I forgot to mention during the recording:
When he died in 1996, only two novels were chosen to be placed inside his coffin. Deep River was one of them.
So by my estimation, we are only seven days and nine hours away from the start of season six . . .
Though far from the most convincing reason to read literature in translation, one common side effect is learning of another culture, of its history. Within that, and a stronger motivation to read, is the discovery of stories not possible within. . .
Despite cries that literature is dead, dying, and self-replicating in the worst way, once in a while a book comes along to remind readers that there's still a lot of surprise to be found on the printed page. To be. . .
"I was small. And my village was small, I came to know that in time. But when I was small it was big for me, so big that when I had to cross it from one end to the other,. . .
A few weeks after moving into a farm house in the Welsh countryside, Emilie, an expatriate from the Netherlands, starts to think about her uncle. This uncle tried to drown himself in a pond in front of the hotel where. . .
Think back to the last adventure- or action-type book you read. Wasn't it cool? Didn't it make you want to do things, like learn to shoot a crossbow, hack complicated information systems, travel to strange worlds, take on knife-wielding thugs,. . .
In Aira's Shantytown, while we're inside the characters' heads for a good portion of the story, the voice we read on the page is really that of Aira himself, as he works out the plot of the book he's writing.. . .
Noir is not an easy genre to define—or if it once was, that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away; as a quick guess, maybe Silver Lake, Los Angeles, 1935. When two books as different as. . .

We create platforms and experiences that drive user engagement, transaction and results with the world's leading brands.
We create platforms and experiences that drive user engagement, transaction and results with the world's leading brands.
We've entered a new era of unprecedented options for digital media delivery. There's no turning back as more devices, screens, and services proliferate to even more customers... and this time it's global.
With new digital engagement paradigms quickly emerging and evolving for the entertainment industry, Zemoga is already on the front line.
Brands need to navigate the complex and changing landscape of digital media options, all with profound business implications. Whether the desired experience is direct to customer, internal, or b2b, Zemoga has developed the expertise to achieve results. Our UX architects blend strategy, creativity, and technology to develop the optimal solutions for mobile, tablet, web, social apps, native apps, and more. We keep brands fully covered on the latest trends from responsive web design to content marketing to experiential storytelling.
We'll let the results do the talking. Click on the arrows to explore.
Paramount Pictures International tapped Zemoga to help them promote the international release of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, because... well, this movie is kind of a big deal. And what better way to create brand awareness and encourage participation than by creating an online portal that invites (via a "Breaking News" alert from Ron Burgundy himself) fans to submit an audition video to join Ron's news crew! Each week, the most majestic of audition videos are hand selected and then featured in a highlight reel for the entire world to enjoy.
Paramount engaged Zemoga to help promote the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness. We used exclusive short-form videos from the film production to introduce fans in 8 countries worldwide to the new Star Trek movie. A Facebook app framework was also built which was syndicated to multiple, international Facebook pages so localization was easy and seamless. Zemoga created a "release window" through media partnerships to build up anticipation for each video's release.
Meredith Corporation brought Zemoga on-board for a full re-conceiving and re-design of their Parents.com site. We brought together our specialties in data analysis and creativity by using eye tracking technology to benchmark how users interacted with the old site, determining what the friction points were against a series of prompts. Full responsive design architecture and design was also provided and documented. Our collaborative efforts earned us the "2013 Best Re-launch" from Min/Folio, quite a nod from the leading authority on the publishing industry.
The force was with our UX Jedi Masters at Zemoga as we redesigned BET.com's homepage - in full responsive web design fashion. A critical part of the process was focus groups and eye tracking sessions conducted with BET fans, ensuring data helped us determine the design that made both clients and fans happy. From there it was all about creating an absolutely BETiful interface and then ensuring users could see it perfectly regardless of browser or device. Traffic's up with more viewers flocking to BET.com for the latest and greatest news on their favorite programming, celeb news and amazing reporting.
This project was a web-based solution for the MPEG4 Conversion that allows AETN administrators and client engineers to process equipment and licenses for several phases of the upgrade program.
The website is supported by a custom Content Management System which provides content and information for visitors of the site. The site includes authentication mechanisms to grant access only to authorized users. This is a prime example of a turn-key tool that provides solutions from experience strategy to design to custom CMS development.
Zemoga's PADFORCE ONE sales enablement app was recently versioned for Hearst Men's Group, Esquire magazine was the first of four publications to utilize the platform. The tool was developed to arm sales forces with the most simple yet powerful iPad presentation engine available, and allowing them to access the latest, most up to date content. Reps can create personalized playlists in seconds, make over-the-air file updates, and instantly email content to anyone, at any time.
Zemoga helped SeaWorld concept the next evolution of their popular animal cam project into a full-blown online attraction. Zemoga created Up-Close Adventures, a rich user experience that combines live animal HD video within digitally created environments. Visitors are free to snap and share their own pictures, as well as learn more about the animals through information overlays. Custom options for parents and teachers to manage children in the experience adds a layer of education and social interaction.
We worked with Busch Gardens to create an overall digital experience promoting their annual Howl-o-Scream event. To maximize awareness, engagement and ticket sales for the event, a multi-channel promotional campaign was developed by Zemoga and our agency partners. In addition to providing a fun and exciting way for the audience to discover "The 13" evils that hosted the event, the Howl-o-Scream digital experience also provided the customer with relevant information regarding dates, hours and info on how to purchase tickets. Short "scare videos" were also produced to drive social conversation and engagement around the event.

Step onboard our case study of the native iPad application we created for GulfStream's Design and Sales team that configures in rich realtime 3D the interior and exterior of the GulfStream worldclass line of aircraft, including a gyroscopic walkthrough.
Fasten your seatbelts.
Step right on boardImagine a jet aircraft showroom experience rendered on an iPad. Imagine customizing interiors and exteriors in real time and from a first person point of view. Imagine bringing an ultra-high end sales experience to digital life. Stop imagining, and start exploring DESIGN BOOK for Gulfstream by Zemoga.
Gulfstream needed to bring the luxury jet showroom experience to life in a completely mobile, intuitively customizable, and eminently compelling digital experience. With the help of Zemoga, they not only succeeded, but exceeded our clients high expectations.
The Gulfstream brand embodies efficiency, luxury, and innovation -- qualities that had to resonate throughout any digital experience we created for the world's foremost aviation company.
So we started by taking apart and then reassembling the Gulfstream showroom experience, where customers are physically escorted through actual plane interiors. Our goal was to not only emulate the sales experience, but improve it by empowering customers to visualize their unique choices.
We succeeded by creating an astonishing first-person, fully customizable, gyroscope-controlled augmented reality showroom experience.
Jason Brandt
Client Strategist
Gulfstream wanted to reproduce the excitement and engagement of a tour through their physical showrooms.
So we worked backward to not only digitally recreate the experience of an actual walkthrough, but took the opportunity several digital steps further by enabling the user customization of features, colors, textures, and other options both within and outside the aircraft.
The result was a sleek, simple, and elegant conceptual framework that set a solid foundation for the robust layers of the UI, and the astonishing first-person UX built above it.
With a high sensitivity to the fact that GulfStream is the ultimate in luxury brands, we designed and built a crisp, engaging and virtually limitless customizable experience.
Our solution was to create a next generation tool that takes the sales process to another level.
Feautures include an augmented reality experience that allows you to virtually walk through your new jet.
Designers and customers alike can effortlessly tap and drag from one feature category to another, all while maintaining a natural flow throughout the compelling configurator experience.
Nelson Morales
IA Director
The project had an aesthetic sensibility we referred to as "effortless elegance," this notion applies as much to our own methodology as Gulfstream's gorgeous aircraft.
So even though the presentation layer alone manipulates and compiles over 40,000 images, the app captures the Gulfstream spirit of confidence, simplicity, and efficiency.
Users are encouraged to perform a host of complex functions, yet all within a UX that remains easy-to-use, completely intuitive, and uncannily organic.
Jorge Echeverry
UX Designer
Creating an augmented reality experience that tops the original isn't easy.
Four gigabytes of raw data fed dynamically into more than 30 images projected per second.
And you thought building an actual private luxury jet was tough!
The Zemoga UI team sweat all the details, and somehow managed to push both native and Web-based tech to the absolute limit.
By increasing runtime performance as much as 600% we were able to transform an iPad into a virtual showroom, assembled in real time right in front of the user's eyes.
And we've only just gotten started...
Juan Camilo Estela
UI Lead
The application debuted at the NBAA (literally the trade show for the jetset) in October 2012 to overwhelming praise and delight
Hailed by Tray Crow, Gulfstream's director of interior design as a powerful sales tool due to it's ability "...to show clients their vision, real time, right in front of them".

The KMART KREATURE KREATOR boo-sted sales by encouraging customers to create customized Halloween costumes and share with their friends.
Get ScaryThe "Kostume Kreator" deepens engagement by inviting customers into a playful activity that mixes elements of product selection, social gamification, valuable customer rewards.
Zemoga has partnered with Kmart, one of the nation's largest retailers, for over five years. We've designed and developed compelling digital eCommerce experiences grounded in smart strategy, consistently exceeding expectations.
The eminently successful relationship led to Zemoga's most recent project, the Kreature Kreator, a Halloween gaming app that encouraged customers to customize and share their own Kmart costumes for the holiday.
Insight: The opportunity to build customer engagement by creating online experiences that tap this shared parent-child enthusiasm for the Halloween season is enticing.
Let's roll out a campaign of fun things that everyone can do together online, and one that's fully integrated with retail products, driving sales.
Dave Bovenschulte
EVP Digital Strategy & Product
We created an engaging game that not only enabled users to customize their Halloween characters, but do so with actual Kmart inventory.
The result organically blended family holiday fun with a dynamic, sharable shopping experience that compelled repeat plays and the purchase of chosen and recommended products.
UX Lead
We wanted the game to appeal to the widest possible audience, so created a gallery of characters all our customers could identify with and costume up.
By creating an online destination that mom wants to visit with her kids, Kmart promotes family bonding (while also reinforcing the quality, style and value she's come to expect from Kmart).
It also lets her share her experiences with other Moms, taking pride in the engagement she's created for her kids and swapping ideas on how to keep the party going all year long -- with the help of Kmart products.
We started with a selection of 90 retail Kmart costumes, and created an entirely new illustrated and digitally rendered style for them.
Each simulation had to match perfectly with all the characters and accessories, and help drive sales of the actual costumes they represented.
UX Designer

The game dynamics were complicated enough to design and develop, let alone deploy across multiple gadget types, screen sizes, and operating systems.
Our expertise in optimization and responsive design seamlessly translated our unique Zemoga user experience to a segmented, demanding, but enthralled audience.
UI Director
Kmart Outdoor and Seasonal team's first digital foray into a dedicated social engagement program was a huge success.
Thousands of bloggers embedded the widget version of the Kreator in their site, driving thousands of new "Halloween minded" visitors into the Kmart website's seasonal section.
Visitors created an amazing variety of personalized Kreatures shared with friends across Facebook and Sear's Shop Your Way Rewards program. Fans voted for their favorite Kreatures and the top Kreators were awarded with prizes.
Kmart has enjoyed record seasonal sales, with multichannel engagement strategies including the Kreature Kreator integral to their integrated campaign tactics.

Avalon, Toyota's flagship sedan, was redesigned for the first time in 9 years -- so needed a "hand-raiser" marketing campaign equally innovative, resonant, and exciting. Zemoga drove that process to stellar results three months before the cars even hit the showroom floor, and six months before any advertising.
Click here for a test drive"The Avalon Experience" raises hands across America for Toyota's latest redesign with multichannel digital resonance -- hop aboard!
Avalon's redesign was nine years in the making, so our market conditioning campaign had to be equally special. Set to deliver 50,000 hand raisers in six month, we hit that goal in six weeks -- talk about marketing overdrive!
Avalon drivers aren't interested in sharing their feelings about a brand, in so much as experiencing an internal projection of their self-worth. So our digital engagement had to be worthy of their time, compelling them to revisit a brand they'd come to love for nine unchanged years.
Client Strategist
After experimenting with various forms of navigation and user engagement, we realized that "serendipitous discovery" best captured the essence of how our audiences saw themselves and the car of their dreams.
Sensitive to the legacy nature of a brand with a loyal following, we designed the site with depth and detail.
At every turn users are invited and encouraged to learn more, raise their hands, and express their opinions about where their favorite vehicle is headed.
UX Lead
Loyal customers adore Avalon, so our job was to capture that brand magic and bring it to life. We focused on the evolution of the design transformation, creating a digital experience with the unique textures and scintillating ambience exemplified by the revitalized Avalon.
UX Designer
Avalon is a luxury automobile built to last. Our digital experiences embody that same sense of quality and refinement, regardless of channel -- so whether you take a test spin on a tablet, smartphone, or desktop computer, your Avalon experience makes your want to come back for more.
UI Lead
Toyota set a goal of 50,000 pre-sale hand raises for Avalon in six months -- we delivered that in six weeks, already well over 110,000 and counting. So when it comes to performance nothing can top the new Avalon -- or its digital campaign from Zemoga!

At Sundance, Web pioneers see 'on-demand revolution'
PARK CITY, Utah--As Hollywood stars drew crowds to the screening rooms here at the Sundance Film Festival, several Web media pioneers--celebrities in their own right-- also got the spotlight Saturday at a panel focused on the future of entertainment in the Digital Age.

Explaining things that we take for granted
A lot of what is accomplished on farms is taken for granted by the average consumer. We know that we want excellent crops that are free from bugs and other pests and we know that we want an abundance of food available.
The average consumer does not know or really care about the huge contribution that fluid power makes to the agricultural field. In September, our editors, with the help of MTS Sensors, illustrate the flexibility and capability of a self-propelled crop sprayer. Check it out

[JURIST] The Serbian Parliament [official website, English version] voted Thursday to reject a United Nations plan released by the United Nations that calls for Kosovo's autonomy and for the right of Kosovo [JURIST news archive] to govern itself as a multi-ethnic society. The plan by Special Envoy for the Future Status Process Marrti Ahtisaari [official profile] was rejected by 225 of 244 deputies of the newly elected parliament, who voted to adopt the outgoing parliament's resolution [PDF text] to condemn the proposal:
The statement is equally offensive to Serbia, the Serb people, and the international community as a whole. The National Assembly considers this view to be contrary to principles upon which international order is founded, democratic values, and principally, to the very mandate of the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General.

National Journal reported this week that the Senate's economic stimulus bill includes a provision that would make Hollywood studios eligible for a special 50% write-off of equipment purchases. According to the report, "the provision is backed by firms like the Walt Disney Co., and the industry trade group the Motion Picture Association of America."
So let's see: Democrats object to cutting the U.S. 35% corporate tax rate — which is higher than in all of Europe, undermines economic growth and discourages job creation — for all companies on grounds that it favors the rich and powerful. But Democrats will carve out tax loopholes for businesses they like and that write them campaign checks.

Cougar Town star Brian Van Holt had plenty of reasons to be nervous about the directing the second episode of the sitcom's fifth season. Not only was Tuesday's episode (10/9c, TBS) Holt's directorial debut, but he was also tasked with directing Friends alum Matthew Perry's highly anticipated guest appearance. "100 percent I was nervous for sure," Holt tells TVGuide.com. "But Matthew is...read more

Unfortunately, there are still two people left - demented twin brothers who enjoy encasing their victims in hot wax, and setting them up as wax museum exhibits. Also stars Elisha Cuthbert ("Love Actually," TV's "24") and Jared Padalecki ("Cheaper by the Dozen," TV's "Gilmore Girls").
Texas Ranger Roland Sharp finds himself college bound when he's tapped to protect a boisterous group of University of Texas cheerleaders.

Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way.

Cougar Town is not, we repeat, not a show about cougars. So what is it about? That's the question facing some newcomers just now learning about the ensemble comedy now that it's become the subject of a persistent marketing campaign from new home TBS.
Winter TV Preview: Where we left off on Cougar Town and more returning shows
For those who missed the show's first three seasons, Cougar Town is really about Jules (Courteney Cox), a fortysomething alcoholic wine connoisseur who used to be married to lovable slacker Bobby (Brian Van Holt), but recently took the plunge again with her neighbor Grayson (Josh Hopkins). Jules has two best friends: the young and loud Laurie (Busy Philipps) and the icy, judgmental Ellie (Christa Miller). Ellie's whipped husband Andy (Ian Gomez) is Bobby's BFF, as is Bobby and Jules' college-age son, Travis (Dan Byrd), who kind of has a thing for Laurie. Whew!

Frances (Pinegar) Callahan Frances (Pinegar) Callahan, 73, of Benton died Wednesday, Jan. 11. She was born Dec. 21, 1938, in Hope to the late Gene and Lucille Shope Pinegar. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Lynn; and her grandparents, Jeff and Willie Shope and Gene and Nannie Bell Pinegar. She is survived by her sons, Jeff Esry of Benton and Sam Callahan of Paron; a brother; Jerry Pinegar of Missouri; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Robert "Bob" Reynolds, 88, of Benton, went to meet his Heavenly Father on Jan. 9, 2012. He was born April 25, 1923, to the late Monroe and Ida Mae Reynolds and raised in Prattsville. Mr. Reynolds was a member of First Missionary Baptist Church of Mabelvale, where he served many years as a deacon and Sunday School superintendent.
Rose Marie Heinzl, 70, of Belleville, Ill., died Monday, Jan. 9, 2012, at her residence. She was born Oct. 10, 1941, in East St. Louis, Ill. Rose Marie was a former member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Belleville, Il. She graduated from St. Elizabeth's Grade School, St. Teresa Academy in 1959 and St. Joseph's School of Nursing , Alton, Ill., in 1962.

Robert "Bob" Gattin, 65, of Benton passed away Jan. 10, 2012. He was born June 23, 1946, in Des Arc. He was an employee of Alcoa and served in the U.S. Navy. He was preceded in death by his adoptive parents, Melvin Wesley Gattin and Alva Akins Gattin; one brother and one sister.
When a Benton man, then in his late 20s, met with First Baptist Church officials in January of 2009 to levy accusations of sexual abuse against the congregation's minister of music — who was present and did not deny the charges — the victim expected the church to prohibit the offender from future contact with members of the youth choir he directed.
"Law enforcement is in my blood and I love my job. I feel like we have made a difference." These are the reasons Saline County Sheriff Bruce Pennington gave Monday for seeking re-election to a third term. "I have 40 years' experience and you have to have that kind of experience to get the job done right," Pennington said. "It's the only way you can."
Saline Courier crime reporter Matt Burks puts together the top crime stories of the week.
Colleagues of Dr. Paul Hogue Jr. and others were remembering the Benton man today as "a great doctor who never turned anybody away." Hogue died Monday at Saline Memorial Hospital Hospice House. He was 88. Dr. Joe Martindale, who practiced with Hogue for several years, called him "one of the old-school country doctors who always took care of people." "He was a close friend of mine," Martindale said.
During a press conference Monday, Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs accused Alderman Adrian Henley of illegally accessing the employee files of Police Chief Mark Kizer, past police chief Tony Cauffman and Dabbs' daughter. Henley, however, said he did nothing illegal. The incident in question occurred in January 2011 between the time Human Resources Director Shayne King was terminated by Dabbs and the hiring of Robin Ussery as King's replacement. When asked how she learned of the alleged incident, Dabbs responded, "I found him in there. In the (human resources) office."

Genius, Pure Genius: The Cooler Beach Chair
The $60 All-In-One chair is the very legitimate lovechild of a portable cooler and folding beach chair. I don't know about it truly being "all-in-one" because it doesn't look motorized and I don't see an iPod dock or speakers, but maybe they're hidden in the arm rests or something. At any rate, it holds ice, beer, magazines and that ass. It has a roll cover that separates you from the cold beverages but I still wouldn't throw yourself down too hard because longneck beer bottles can and will steal your butt's v-card. Which, funny story: for spring break one year I went to Cancun with a bunch of buddies and whenever a friend passed out early we'd wedge a Corona bottle up his ass. Sometimes I feigned sleep! Good times.
