Highlighting what you do has never been simpler. SimpleUpdates sites are easy to build and even easier to maintain.
If you need a mobile app to augment your web presence, we have the experience to take your idea from concept to reality.
In addition to great websites, we offer advanced web services like live streaming, domain names, custom design and more.
"You were right!! As always!! . . . Thank you, Thank you!!"from a customer dealing with a browser issue.
Here's what we've been doing lately...
ACM hired us to re-envision their old websites and create a new Chaplain Management Database. The objective was to create a beautiful mobile friendly website that worked seamlessly with a new database and our easy-to-use CMS. In all we built:
· A new database.
· An online signup form.
· A friendly administrative interface.
· Three mobile friendly website designs.
The database was rewritten from the ground up to integrate fully with the website and provides an end-to-end solution for the chaplain management cycle. A chaplaincy candidate can apply on the website and the form submits directly into the database. Then administrators can easily review the applications, make notes and set the status to keep track of where each application is in the process of approval. After they are approved Chaplains can submit their yearly reports online, sign up for upcoming events, and sign-up/request resources to help with their various duties.
Administrators can easily communicate with the chaplains by filtering the list and sending them a message with the SimpleUpdates.com newsletter module right from their website.
ACM runs three separate websites to serve their constituents. They wanted each site to have a unique look that would be attractive and allow their visitors to easily access the information most important to them. We created three mobile friendly designs that were distinct and adapted to each of their constituent demographics. For example, one of the sites allows visitors to use an integrated search to find a chaplain in their area while another allows members to sign up for various magazines and support resources.
When the client approached us, they didn't just want to update their app. They wanted a fresh new look that took advantage of the touch experience of mobile devices. They wanted something unique, intuitive, and fun. For this project we:
· Created a new iOS app with a unique user interface
· Set up user settings migration from the old app to the new app.
· Developed a backend tool that allows the client to easily update the content of the app from their website.
The client wanted an interface that a user could dive into instead of sliding between sections. We conceptualized the interface with animated mockups that allowed the client to get a feel for how the interface would work. When he was happy with the mockups we created the new app.
Because this was a complete overhaul of a previous application the data needed to be migrated over. We updated the old application to recognize the presence of the new App and to initiate the migration process. This way whether a user opened the old or the new, they would be able to move their data over and then use the great new features while keeping their notes and bookmarks.
The Sabbath School App is centered around a series of weekly lessons that are created for various age groups in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Thus the data in the App needs to be updated on a regular basis. Pushing out new updates every quarter had previously been done manually. This was an error-prone process so we created a web module that allows the Sabbath School department to easily update the App from their website.

Hier kan man die Ruhe noch richtig geniesen!
Just behind the German border: nice, quite little village surrounded by nature.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

A motorcycle driver and their passenger were both seriously injured after colliding with a truck that allegedly ran a stop sign. According to roadway evidence and witness statements, Pinal County sheriff's office says a truck drove through a stop sign at the intersection of Ocotillo Road and Cambria Lane on Wednesday and proceeded to turn left. As the truck driver was turning, a motorcycle driving on the street was unable to avoid it and slammed into the truck. Both the motorcycle driver and the passenger were flown to a hospital with serious injuries to their legs. No one in the truck was injured.Both motorcycle riders were wearing helmets. Alcohol and drug don't appear to be factors in the crash. No names have been released.

CATEGORIES Horror, Lionsgate Films, Fandom, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing, Images, Trailers and Clips, Movies, CinematicalMaybe because I grew up watching way too many horror movies, I tend to be pretty critical. When it comes to horror I tend to lapse into a "been there, done that" state of mind. My misspent youth in the eighties was during the glory days of the holy trinity of horror franchises (Krueger, Voorhees and Myers), plus my friends and I managed to work our way through every horror movie that would show up at the local Blockbuster.
Usually most of your low profile horror flicks head straight to video, but sometimes movies manage to create enough buzz to help ease the transition from a late night guilty pleasure to big screen debut. IGN has a first look at the trailer for the new horror flick The Abandoned. The film was a part of the recent After Dark Horrorfest and was directed by Nacho Cerdà. The story centers on a woman who is looking for her parents and is brought to the spot of her mother's murder -- and in true haunted house fashion -- the house has plans of its own. The trailer looks promising, not groundbreaking mind you, but it would seem there's some scares to be had. Even the poster is kind of spooky, although porcelain dolls have always creeped me out, so it might just be me. The Abandoned opens February 23.

Patients taking a 1-milligram dose of TOL-3021 had their C- peptide levels rise 20 percent, compared with a decline of 8.8 percent for patients on placebo, the researchers reported. Immune cells known as T cells that directly targeted the pancreatic beta cells were shown to decline in patients taking the drug, while other T cells weren't affected. The study turned up no serious side effects.
Steinman said a next step is to conduct a longer trial with more patients to determine how the drug works over a period as long as a year, and to pursue treatment of patients at different stages of the disease.
"We do want to look at treatment of children, and the ultimate would be to see if we can treat those at risk before they get the disease and do this in a preventive way," Steinman said. On the other end of the spectrum, "it could provide benefit, as we've seen here, to people who were diagnosed a few years ago as long as they have some islet cells to preserve."
Steinman and colleagues formed a company around the technology in April, called Tolerion Inc. They are looking at partnerships with pharmaceutical companies "and other vehicles for moving ahead," he said. The company may be able to use the platform in other autoimmune diseases in which the target of the errant immune response is known, such as Grave's disease, he said.
"The wind at our back is the good data we've seen in this trial," Steinman said.

The search for a man on the ice in Carroll Township has been called off after authorities could not find any signs of him.
The original call came into 911 after two people in a nearby residence spotted what looked like a man wearing a Carhartt jacket out on the ice who, after some time passed, could not be located again.
Carroll Township crews were assisted by a helicopter from the Coast Guard as well as Ottawa County water rescue and dive teams.
The search and rescue effort lasted a total of about 4 hours.
Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to call the Carroll Township police department at 419 898-4906.

Zack Buckley of Buckley Capital Partners is no fan of Splunk (SPLK), the data-analysis firm whose stock trades close to its April IPO price. He panned the stock at the Value Investing Congress today in New York, calling the software firm a "one-product company" with a "questionable" business model.
Here's the odd part: Stocks that get panned at this event often fall as the panning happens. But Splunk was down 7% or so ahead of the presentation with no news on the ticker. Shortly after Buckley thunked Splunk, the stock was down by less than five percent.
The argument was a familiar one: A low "moat," big competition and a very uncertain future. Among the lines of attack, Buckley said that an analysis of competitors' free cash flow as a multiple of the stock price suggests a Splunk valuation of $11.71, or 68% below current levels.
As Buckley clicked through a powerpoint slide featuring the logos of International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft (MSFT) and others, he said the firm has "numerous" competitors flooding into the market. He noted a selection of high-place insiders selling shares, all with a lockup expiry in about two weeks.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

Today's Ask Tony and Tucker question comes from Lynn and Javid Elahi. They want to know, "Why are birds, specifically cardinals, so interested in trying to get into our house from outside windows? Everyday my husband and I watch as a male or female cardinal fly into our windows repeatedly, as if they are trying to get in. Perhaps they are seeing their reflection, or are territorial and want to deter other birds from their territory."

This kid is currently the dallas carter hs QB and plans on signing with Tech. Probably will be a receiver or DB at the college level. I think his name was Jarvis. That kind of press in the DFW area just before signing day is a great thing for Tech. Makes me really proud to see how far we have come.

The Tigers picked up a 70-14 victory and the right to continue on to round two of the Class 4A playoffs.
The Tigers offense managed to put up 425 rushing yards and 518 yards total offense. Corner had 281 total offensive yards for the night.
Dadeville (10-1) wasted no time taking control. Terry Toler, Damarius Gilbert, C.J. Tolbert and Kaleb Beck all grabbed TDs in the first quarter. By the start of the second quarter, the Tigers had a 28-0 lead.
The Yellow Jackets pushed their way into Dadeville territory with eight minutes remaining in the second, but DHS's Anfernee Jennings stopped the drive short by taking a fumble recovery all the way back to make it 42-0.
With a healthy lead, the Tigers opted to put Cal Jones under center. The backup quarterback grabbed two touchdowns himself before half to bring the score to 56-0.
Jones had eight carries for the night for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The game marked the return of C.J. Tolbert, who was benched after a hard hit at Clay Central two weeks ago. Tolbert came back with a vengeance, with 11 carries for 214 yards and two touchdowns.
All of the Tiger's passing yards came in the first half. Beck was 2 for 5 for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Toler snatched one reception for a touchdown, while Gilbert picked up the other on a 70-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Corner got on the board with a pair of third-quarter touchdowns. Austin Sanford scored the first on a 2-yard run and Blake Byrd followed with a six-yard touchdown run two minutes later.
Dadeville's Jamal Crayton tacked on another 6 to the Tiger tally with 5:14 left in the third quarter. Darius Miller marched 51 yards down the sideline for the final touchdown of the night.
Friday's game also marked the 500th tackle for star defensive tackle Rod Crayton. Crayton is currently narrowing his college choices within the next few weeks from a list including such schools as LSU, Tennessee, Penn State, Mississippi State and Arkansas.
Dadeville will go on the road for round two, traveling to Mobile for a matchup with UMS-Wright. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

IPP Experience in the Brazilian Electricity Market, TheWorking Paper
Adilson de Oliveira

Luciano Losekann
Felipe V.S. Araujo
Issued by
Program on Energy and Sustainable Development Working Paper #53, October 2005
The Brazilian energy sector reform followed a textbook model from early 1990s Latin America - specifically Chile and Argentina - premised on introducing competition to the wholesale power market while maintaining monopolies in transmission and distribution. The textbook electricity reform model also established an independent system operator and independent regulator to oversee system management. Brazil began its power sector reform by privatizing distribution, followed by generation and transmission. And because the drought and successive power rationing of 2001-02, the Brazilian power market is being reformed again. The wholesale market will be ruled by long term contracts and new institutions are being developed to coordinate the sector. In this contract environment, IPPs stand out less than in countries with a single buyer model (e.g. South East Asia, Mexico).

Tuesday marked the team's first home game since Kile's stunning and untimely death on Saturday. The Cards played Sunday night against the
Cubs, then had a day off Monday. On Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., the team will
hold a full public memorial for Kile at Busch Stadium.
Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon opened the ceremony by bringing the
entire Cardinals team out to join him at home plate, then introducing the team's Chairman of the Board and General Partner, William O. DeWitt
DeWitt also announced that the team, in conjunction with its official charity, Cardinals Care, "will establish and operate a youth baseball
program" at PAL Field, which opened last September and which Kile helped fund. Kile was an active participant in Cardinals Care.
The ceremony closed with a video tribute to Kile, featuring photos and clips from his entire career. It included his no-hitter in Houston as well as moments from his time with the Colorado Rockies and the
Cardinals and many more candid images. Many of the pictures were of Kile with his family or enjoying time with teammates. Boyz II Men's song "It's So
Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" played as the video ran.
"It's really really good," manager Tony La Russa said of the video, "which makes it really really hard."
St. Louis pitchers Woody Williams and Mike Timlin could be seen consoling reliever Dave Veres, a friend of Kile's for many years, at the end
of the ceremony.
"The video was pretty heart-wrenching," Timlin said.
Throughout the game, the video screen in right field at Busch Stadium showed clips of Kile as well as accounts of his accomplishments, including many of his career statistics and his Cardinals statistics as well
as the fact that he never went on the disabled list and never missed a start.
"Hopefully by the fifth inning you can catch up to what you're supposed to be doing," said lefty reliever Steve Kline.
In tribute to Kile, St. Louis will wear a circular patch reading "DK 57" on the right sleeves of their uniforms for the rest of the season. In addition, a circular sign with the same image has been placed on the left-field wall. It will also remain there for the rest of the season.
The club also will be assembling a "memory book" at the request of
Kile's wife, Flynn, for the couple's three children. Submissions from fans
are invited at:
DK 57 Memory Book
250 Stadium Plaza
St. Louis, MO, 63102.
The family has requested that memorial contributions be made to Cardinals Care at:
Darryl Kile Memorial Fund

"Tomatoes 'cut risk of prostate cancer by 20%'," the Daily Mail reports, citing a study that found men who ate 10 or more portions a week had a reduced risk of the disease.
The study in question gathered a year's dietary information from 1,806 men who were found to have prostate cancer and 12,005 who were clear after random prostate checks. The researchers compared the diets and adjusted the results to take into account factors such as age, family history of prostate cancer and ethnicity.
They found that men who ate more than 10 portions of tomatoes or tomato products per week have an 18% reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to men who ate less than 10.
As this was a case controlled study, and not a randomised controlled trial, it cannot prove that eating more tomatoes prevents prostate cancer. It can only show an association.
The association is biologically plausible, because tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, a nutrient thought to protect against cell damage. However, the jury is still out on whether it really does protect cells.
So a healthy, balanced diet, regular exercise and stopping smoking are still the way to go. It's unlikely that focusing on one particular food will improve your health.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Bristol, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Bristol Nutrition Biomedical Research Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and the University of Oxford. It was funded by the NIHR and Cancer Research UK.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. The study is open-access so it is free to read online or download.
In general, the media reported the story accurately but also reported different numbers of study participants, ranging from 1,800 to 20,000. This is because out of the 23,720 men who were initially included in the study, a proportion were excluded from the analyses due to missing questionnaires.
Several news sources have also reported that eating the recommended five portions of fruit or veg per day reduced the risk of prostate cancer by 24% compared to 2.5 servings or less per day. This seems to have come directly from the lead researcher, but these figures are not clearly presented in the research paper.
What kind of research was this?
This was a case-control study looking at the diet, lifestyle and weight of men who had had a prostate check and were subsequently diagnosed with (cases) and without (controls) prostate cancer. The researchers wanted to see if there were any factors that reduced the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
A previous systematic review suggested that a diet high in calcium is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and that diets high in selenium and lycopene are associated with reduced risk. Selenium is a chemical element essential for life that is found in animals and plants, but high levels are toxic. Lycopene is a nutrient found in red foods such as tomatoes and pink grapefruit.
The researchers defined intake of selenium and lycopene as the "prostate cancer dietary index". They looked at whether there was an association between men's index scores and their risk of having prostate cancer.
In addition, in 2007, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) made eight recommendations on diet, exercise and weight for cancer prevention.
The eight cancer prevention recommendations
The eight recommendations drawn up by the WCRF and AICR, some of which are harder to stick to than others, are:
- be as lean as possible without being underweight
- stay physically active every day
- limit consumption of energy-dense foods and avoid sugary drinks
- the diet should consist of foods mostly from plant origin
- limit intake of red and processed meat
- limit consumption of alcoholic drinks
- limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt
- don't take supplements in an attempt to prevent cancer
However, recent research has shown conflicting results as to whether these recommendations are applicable to prostate cancer. One large European study found that men who followed the recommendations did not have a lower general prostate cancer risk, and the other found that men did have a reduced risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
The researchers wanted to see if these recommendations should be changed to include any of the prostate cancer dietary index components for men and/or men at higher risk of prostate cancer.
What did the research involve?
The researchers used data collected from a large UK study called the ProtecT trial. In this trial, 227,300 randomly selected men aged 50 to 69 were invited to have a prostate check between 2001 and 2009.
Nearly half of the men then had a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test and 11% of them went on to have further investigations. Before the test they were asked to fill out questionnaires on:
- lifestyle
- diet
- alcohol intake
- medical history
- family history
They were also asked to provide information on their:
- physical activity level
- body mass index (BMI)
- waist circumference
- body size aged 20, 40 and at the time they entered the study
Body size was self-estimated by looking at pictures on a scale of 1 to 9. All those selecting 1 to 3 were categorised as normal weight and those selecting 4 to 9 were considered overweight/obese.
From this study the researchers identified 2,939 men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and matched them with 20,781 randomly selected men by age and GP practice who did not have prostate cancer to act as controls. They then excluded anyone who did not return the questionnaires and those who did not provide all of the body metrics.
This gave a sample of 1,806 men with prostate cancer and 12,005 controls.
The dietary questionnaires assessed how frequently they had consumed 114 items of food over the previous 12 months. This included an estimate of portion sizes.
From this information, the men were assigned a score to reflect how well they had achieved the first six of the eight WCRF/AICR recommendations (they did not have enough information for "salt consumption" or "dietary supplements").
Adherence to each recommendation was scored (1 - complete adherence, 0.5 - partial adherence or 0 - non-adherence), giving an overall score between 0 and 6.
The researchers also looked at the intake of components of the "prostate cancer dietary index": calcium, selenium and tomato products which they used as an indicator of lycopene intake (tomato juice, tomato sauce, pizza and baked beans). To be scored as adherent, men had to:
- eat less than 1,500mg of calcium per day
- eat more than 10 servings of tomato and tomato products per week
- eat between 105 and 200µg of selenium per day
Statistical analyses were then performed to determine the risk of low or high grade prostate cancer according to adherence to the WCRF/AICR recommendations or intake of any of the three dietary components of the prostate cancer dietary index. The results were adjusted to take into account the following confounders:
- age
- family history of prostate cancer
- self-reported diabetes
- ethnic group
- occupational class
- smoking status
- total energy intake
What were the basic results?
After adjusting for possible confounding factors:
- being adherent to the tomato and tomato product recommendation by eating 10 or more servings of tomatoes per week was associated with an 18% reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to eating less than 10 servings (odds ratio (OR) 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70 to 0.97)
- each component of the "prostate cancer dietary index" that the men adhered to was associated with a 9% reduction in risk of prostate cancer (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.99)
- the overall WCFR/AICR adherence score was not associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.05)
- every 0.25 increase in the score for adherence to the plant food recommendation was associated with a 6% reduced overall risk of prostate cancer (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.89 to 0.99)
A 0.25 increase in adherence score could be achieved by increasing fruit and vegetable intake from less than 200g/day to between 200 and 400g/day, or by increasing fruit and vegetable intake from between 200 and 400g/day to 400g/day or more (400g is equivalent to five portions) or by changing intake of unprocessed cereals (grains) and/or pulses (legumes).
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that, "in addition to meeting the optimal intake for the three dietary factors associated with prostate cancer, men should maintain a healthy weight and an active lifestyle to reduce risk of developing prostate cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes". They also say that "high intake of plant foods and tomato products in particular may help protect against prostate cancer, which warrants further investigations".
This large study has shown an association between the consumption of more than 10 portions of tomatoes per week and an 18% reduction in risk of prostate cancer. However, as this was a case controlled study, and not a randomised controlled trial, it cannot prove that eating more tomatoes prevents prostate cancer.
Strengths of the study include its large size and attempts to account for potential confounding factors, although there are some limitations to the study, including:
- reliance on the accuracy of the dietary questionnaires
- broad categories for self-estimate of body size
This study does not provide enough evidence to change the recommendations for reducing the risk of prostate cancer. A healthy, balanced diet, regular exercise and stopping smoking are still the way to go, rather than relying on eating one exclusive food type such as tomatoes.
Following the eight WCRF/AICR recommendations as listed above should also help prevent against other types of cancer as well as chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

EYEWITNESS SPORTSHigh School Football
from Eyewitness News Online
Riverside's New Leader Hard At Work
Reported by: Josh Lewis
Videographer: Josh Lewis
March 28, 2013
The third coach in the history of Riverside High School football is fully aware of who the first two coaches were on the Eastern Kanawha County campus.
Ralph Hensley, the man Steve Freeman is replacing, won four state AA titles while at East Bank.
Dick Whitman, the man before Hensley, captured a pair of Class AAA crowns while leading DuPont, who featured a player named Randy Moss.
The Riverside program has been down in recent years and Freeman, who is getting his shot at being a head coach, is hoping to find the magic formula at the school that was formed in 1999 with the merger of East Bank and DuPont.
Josh Lewis recently visited with the new leader of the Warriors.

Dalai Lama's Nephew Visits Sculpture Gardensby Jan Sjostrom
Sculptor Ann Norton was a good friend of the Dalai Lama's elder brother Thubten Jigme Norbu.
Eastern beliefs informed her sculpture, including the monumental works in the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, Norton's former home and studio in West Palm Beach. Norton, the second wife of Norton Museum founder Ralph Norton, traveled to China and opened her home to Norbu and his family.
Norbu's son, Jigme, "came often as a child with his mother and father and remembers playing in the gardens," said Cynthia Palmieri, gardens executive director.
He stopped by again a couple of years ago, an occasion Palmieri described as "a very spiritual evening."
Norbu returned to the sculpture gardens this week, when he picnicked among the greenery with a few friends.
Norbu shared correspondence between Ann Norton and his father, as well as letters his father had written to the Dalai Lama's office concerning Norton's trip to China. Palmieri copied the documents for the gardens' archive.
He plans to carry on his father's walks publicizing the cause of Tibetan independence. Discussions are under way for a walk that would conclude in February at the sculpture gardens, Palmieri said.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Cancer is nothing you can run away from, but you can run together to raise money for the cause. For the second year, American Cancer Society Gwinnett hosts a 5K and one-mile fun run at Coolray Field as a fundraiser for Relay for Life Saturday at 8 a.m. Registration begins at 7 a.m.
"It's an opportunity to raise cancer awareness, raise funds for cancer research and to run," ACS Community Manager Kelly Smith said. "We're hoping for a larger and larger turn out each year. As this is only our second year, we're expecting around 250 runners."
The race begins in the parking lot and loops around the field. For those who aren't running, Chopper will make an appearance, plus there will be inflatables for the children and music blasted by a DJ.
"You don't need to be a runner to race for Relay -- just come to jog or walk the race," Smith said. "This will be a great opportunity to learn more about Relay For Life."
Registration fees are $30 for individuals and families and $20 for running clubs. Each participant's registration includes a free race T-shirt, tickets to Saturday night's Gwinnett Braves game at 7 p.m. and invitation to participate in the pre-game parade at 6 p.m. The team is playing the Durham Bulls.
All of the proceeds benefit American Cancer Society's Gwinnett Relay For Life, which is May 4 and 5 at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds.

The Publishing Process Explained
OK, this one's a quickie: If you are trying to publish a book, check out O'Reilly Media's So You Want to Write a Book? O'Reilly publishes all kinds of tech-oriented books, and this is their guide for authors who are submitting manuscripts to them for publication. Although aimed at O'Reilly's authors, the information here applies pretty well to the process at most publishers (except O'Reilly is a lot more honest than many others, as illustrated by the very fact that they've made available this incredibly open guide to their publication process, where other publishers might prefer you underinformed).

A lot of hay gets made in this column and on this website about a variety of tradeshows and conferences in our various fields: LDI, InfoComm, PLASA, USITT, and even NAB and CES. I wrote about these in detail in my blogs from InfoComm. Each has its own unique character and contributions to our industry, whether directly or via a sort of trickle-down effect. But, especially from a projection/video perspective, there is a glaring absence in this list—a gathering of professionals so fundamental in its importance to modern media that it is invisible to many—the assembly code to our Flash animations.
SIGGRAPH, now in its 35th year, has been responsible for the birth of so many technologies and techniques for computer graphics that even starting a list is pointless. Suffice it to say: if you sit in front of a computer and make pictures, you owe allegiance to SIGGRAPH. Especially if those pictures have to do with modeling space or objects in 3D, which is going to become more and more important to those of us in projection design. If you want to see what I mean, check out the preview video of their technical papers for 2008 or the trailer for the Computer Animation Festival. Pixar and a whole bunch of Academy Awards came out of that Festival.
Beyond the incredible technology and artistic achievement, I think one of the most important contributions of SIGGRAPH to the world at large is its truly interdisciplinary character. It does a better job than any other show of being a trade show AND a conference. As Glenn Entis, senior vice president of Electronic Arts, says it in the SIGGRAPH 2008 preview video, "It's the only conference I know that is the premier technical/academic, commercial, and artistic conference in its given field. There's no other area that I know of that combines all three in one place." I think some of our industry events could draw some inspiration from SIGGRAPH in terms of its ability to create a fertile environment for innovation/research in addition to sales.
SIGGRAPH 2008 is next week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. If you want to know what technologies you will be using as a projection/video designer in ten years, check it out.

Watched this one again last night. And a lot like THE CARD PLAYER feel it's very middling Argento. I'm happy in a sense that he's not the author of this film/episode for a change. It's his most playful film, in many ways tongue and cheek like his segment in TWO EVIL EYES, although creatively JENIFER doesn't measure up to the wry humor of THE BLACK CAT, or even his PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, imo. I knew exactly where the story was headed from Spivey's intial discovery of the siren/succubus. In between he mixed in a few stylish moments, but other than that really no recognizable traits that would distinguish it as Argento. The story while arguably pulpy fun, is borderline schlock material. All in all it didn't leave any lasting impression. Like a lot of his recent product, I'm left feeling he's spinning his wheels with hackwork like JENIFER.

I disagree completely on this one. I rather enjoyed Jenifer and thought it was one of Argento's more valuable works over the last few years (although that's not saying much). I got a Argento vibe from it throughout from the music, to the violence, to some of the more stylized shots (although I agree that there isn't many, or at least not as much as we're used to from Argento). Now, I haven't seen EVERY MoH yet, but I've seen the majority and this is my favorite episode.

I didn't feel much of his personal stamp on this at all to be honest, and thought Simonetti's score is easily his weakest contribution yet. The violence is intentionally comical.
I think it sorta works as an okay diversion, but if I want schlock from this series, THE DEER WOMAN takes the cake for me.

I have been griping for awhile about how the only feel on the series is Garris'. There is hardly any director's stamp on the series as a whole. It's like the shit was storyboarded for them and the cinematographer had explicit instructions from Garris. It's good to see these guys getting work but I'm sure Garris is recieving most of the milk from this cow.

What comprises the "Garris feel"? Is it: Good cast and source material, made-for-tv, but hampered by pedestrian filmmaking, silly performances and plot developments, and horror cliches -- must be a Garris we're watching! I know exactly what you mean though (and I agree 100% with Legba about Jenifer). The hope for this series was that we'd get hour-long independent movies from these directors, but they don't feel like independent projects. The only that really does is Miike's, and I don't think it's a coincidence that that was the only one produced with a crew chosen by the filmmaker.

I didn't feel much of his personal stamp on this at all to be honest, and thought Simonetti's score is easily his weakest contribution yet. The violence is intentionally comical.
I think it sorta works as an okay diversion, but if I want schlock from this series, THE DEER WOMAN takes the cake for me.
Well, I think that's a fair assessment of it, but I think the schlock factor comes from the fact that it's based on a story in the old Creepy magazine. But I wouldn't say it's even close to the schlock factor that was in DEER WOMAN.

The soundtrack theme for this was friggin' amazing. I also thought Weber was pretty good. While it may not feel like Argento to some, I still felt it had a lot of his appeal.
I really enjoyed it.
I dunno, though... She had a great body, but god damn what a lemon face from hell.

My main problem with Jenifer was that I pretty much knew right from the get-go exactly how it was going to end. But after reading UC's review (he watched all the extras without me), I really want to check out some of the featurettes. Argento wanted to do
with chickens?!?!?!
Can you feel the thirst?

You guys (and gals
) raise some good points about the production of these episodes. I was talking about something similar regarding the orginal THE OUTER LIMITS on another board recently, and how that show managed to separate itself from a normal TV show of the time, with its mix of imaginative ideas (universally human) and cinematography, that gave the show's better episodes a distinct canvas - part German Expressionism by way of French New-Wave. The episodes ended up resembling films more so than TV. That was really what I was hoping for with MOH, and unfortunately most of the series doesn't achevieve that for me.
The ones that do work seem to succeed despite their limitations. Like CIGARETTE BURNS has a lot of Carpenter's irreverent personality thrown in even though the story itself is a somewhat generic rip-off of CLUB DUMAS, ANCIENT IMAGES, and THROAT SPROAKETS. DEER WOMAN could work as a trilogy with AMERICAN WEREWOLF and INNOCENT BLOOD. It's at least a nice appendage. And you're right RhodesisGod, no one does schlock quite like Landis. Mckee's has some indivual charm, after Corman was no longer involved, he made some nice changes to the story inparticular the central Lesbian dynamic which really gives Bettis carte blanche to shine in SICK GIRL. It also features the best set design of the series and some wildly hallucinatory - experimental visuals that had me smiling. PICK ME UP had some good performances, and was a unique twist on a worn out subgenre that didn't require a lot of prep because of the straight forward narrative which gives it an advantage as a clever conceit/idea.
The rest seem to not hold up on subsequent viewing (or intially) for one reason or the other to me. But it's interesting just how opinions differ on what episodes are people's favorite. I've yet to see Miike's.

I think 'hackwork' is a little harsh. At the very least, Jennifer was categorically horror, which is more than you can say for some of the entries.
Overall MOH was a huge disappointment, but compared with Nightmares & Dreamscapes, it's a posive tor de force.

I couldn't disagree more:
It doesn't necessarily have to be derogatory, as I like a lot of commerical films. But coming from someone with a track record of previous distinguishable artistic achevievement and autuership in the genre, and seeing as how JENIFER is a work for hire and Argento had no hand in the writing this at all (much more a vehicle for Weber), it couldn't be more fitting.

I can watch Jennifer and know that it is Argento, ergo, it is not hackwork.

I think the visual direction of JENIFER could be described as servicable at best. But what do we need silly things like definitions to explain ourselves for?
Anyhow, I hold out hope that the second season will reap better rewards, with some of the directors more accustomed to the format and production. F. Paul Wilson's PELTS is a more interesting story than JENIFER ever was, and I'm especially excited to see Carpenter and Landis also returning.

I was very surprised that I enjoyed this movie. I really wish he had kept in the scene where Jenifer eats a willy, it was just too funny for words.
I do have to agree that the ending was pretty obvious from the beginning of the film.

For my money, Argento's JENIFER was the best thing to come out of the initial season of MOH. It & DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE are the two "must buys" for me as far as the DVDs are concerned. With Carpenter's & Malone's episodes likely to be added to them as my budget allows.

text: An Ode To Woe: Live (CD/DVD) is an amazing metal album that showcases some of the best doom metal and gothic metal that I have ever listened to. Being a fan of both Metallica and Ministry it was a natural decision for me to pick this album at my local library. The booklet contains all the lyrics which is quite unusual for a live album. The artwork of the booklet fits quite well with the title of the album, i.e. An Ode to Woe and the sound of music which rarely if ever happens. We also get a list of what kind of instruments used and they name them even by brand. 4/5.

News Release

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Announces
"You Drink & Drive. You Lose" in Kentucky
Frankfort, KY - Mr. Terrance Parker with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced today that Kentucky was selected within the Southeast Region of the United States to conduct a comprehensive impaired driving campaign entitled "You Drink & Drive. You Lose". This campaign will focus on highly visible traffic enforcement efforts to deter impaired driving.
After several years of improvement, more recent statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show impaired driving-related deaths increased for the first time since 1995 from 15,976 in 1999 to 16,653 in 2000.
Last year there were 5,853 alcohol-related crashes in Kentucky. Of those 5,853 crashes, there were 3,995 persons injured and 172 persons killed in Kentucky.
During the Labor Day holiday in 2001, there were 10 fatal crashes and 4 of those 10 were alcohol related.
The Kentucky State Police Governor's Highway Safety Program will coordinate enforcement efforts with local law enforcement agencies statewide to conduct traffic safety checkpoints and saturation patrols in high crash locations to identify and arrest impaired drivers. Paid Media for this campaign will begin August 15, thru August 30, 2002 with increased enforcement beginning August 22 thru September 3, 2002.
The key to stopping impaired drivers is taking a systematic approach with law enforcement, prosecutors, judicial officials and traffic safety partners, each doing their part, to protect innocent victims from impaired drivers. In 2001, there were 48,892 DUI arrests in Kentucky, this represents an 11.5% increase from the previous 4-year average of 43,848
This Labor Day Holiday, Kentucky State Police and local law enforcement agencies statewide will be working to keep families safe from one of the greatest threats to our communities---Impaired Drivers.
The goal of the You Drink & Drive. You Lose Impaired Driving Campaignis to reduce impaired driving and save lives.

We add land time before because of the long flight and the possibility of delays, which has worked in our favor each time. Embarkation has gone very quick and easy every time and the Princess embarkation staff gets very high marks for helpful and friendly service. Our cabin has always been ready on arrival.
Onboard, most staff is great, but they are pushing a lot of sales; the soda club, the coffee club, etc. That fades after day 1. During the cruise they offer a couple wine tasting events that are VERY nice and a dinner with the chef that puts you in the kitchen during the rush hour and then eating with the chef. A great opportunity for those intrigued by food prep. We had the early dinner, which has pros and cons. You need to rush a bit after the days activity, but you can see the sunset or fading island from the window if your lucky enough to have a table with a view. The early seating gives time to digest while watching a show or star gazing, hit the buffet for a light bedtime snack and relax in your cabin with plenty of time to get enough sleep to be out on the balcony to watch the ship pass through the barrier reef of the island of the day. We have coffee, juice, crosiants and yogurt delivered to our balcony around 7 every morning. It's magical. We prefer the poolside grill for lunch and the dining room for dinner. This time, the dining room was especially enjoyed. In past cruises we never even knew who the head waiter was, but this trip our head waiter took the time to stop at our table every night and share options and light conversation. Our waiter and jr waiter were a married couple and were great fun.
Disembarkation is early, 8am. They offer storage for carry on luggage and allow you to stay on the ship all day with full access to everything but a cabin. It's very gracious since the flight don't leave until 10pm and 11:30pm. The airport checkin moves very slow, a couple elderly folks in line were close to passing out. Bring water and a hand fan, you will need it. If you can stay a few days extra, it's a great extension to the relaxation and magic of the area and a good way to miss the huge crowd at the airport.

Please stop expanding YOUR definition Silicon Valley. I believe Silicon Valley (SV) is identifiable as Santa Clara County. If you continue try to expand SV you will have California, then USA, then North America and finally the planet and you will have distorted the truth.
on Feb 6, 2013 at 2:54 pm
The Mountain View Voice and others aren't afraid to use the term "Bay Area". I guess if you call yourself "Silicon Valley ..." you would rather change the definition of Silicon Valley than your own name.
The article does show some interesting numbers. Thumbs up to Kenrick.

Good to see that employment is rising in the Bay Area! The shrinking middle class is a worrying trend, but I guess we are seeing that all over the nation. Thanks for an interesting article!

Nice corners, bad screws

Corners, Trunk, Brass, Edge Length 1"
I used these to protect the corners of a cub scout patrol box I made to be used at campouts. It's going to take a beating. These corners seemed thick enough to offer genuine protection and were a nice clean design (I didn't want something overly ornate). When installing I siliconed the undersides of them to prevent moisture from collecting underneath. I found I needed to radius the edges of the box to match the contours of the corners to get them to fit tightly (not a problem, just plan on doing it if you want them to fit properly). I discarded the straight-slotted screws supplied with the corners and got some #4 phillips to install them with (since the advent of the drill-driver I don't have the patience to fumble with straight-slotted acrews).

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- Sorting through boxes of donated items has been Ray Benja's job for the last two weeks.
The retired Marquette Heights resident is a volunteer at the Sunnyland Plaza drop-off center, which provides free supplies to walk-in tornado victims.
"I kind of take care of the whole back of the warehouse, and I keep everything organized," said Benja. "I make sure what is supposed to go on the shelves goes on the shelves."
That is why Benja is always relieved to see extra help.
Saturday, Bradley University's "Service on Saturday" program sent out 20 students to help with the daily organization of items.
For tornado survivor, Linda Smith, she relies heavily on the supplies in her process of rebuilding.
"The insulation and the plaster has just been horrendous," said Smith. "That takes a lot of cleaning supplies, and these people here have come together to supply that for us."
Organizers said if you do want to donate items, laundry detergent and dish soap are in high demand.
For more information on how to volunteer and where to drop off items visit the Facebook page, "Washington Tornado Relief Center".
Benja added that they will take all of the help they can get.
"It's not hard really. It's just heart."

Mayor Michael Nutter and Managing Director Richard Negrin want to know how election day was for you in Philadelphia.
Two public meetings are scheduled for next month to discuss Election Day experiences. The meetings come after a six-member committee was appointed by Nutter last month to review the election.
"We've heard stories ranging from long-time voters not being found in the poll book to improperly filed provisional ballots," Nutter said in a statement. "In most cases, though, these stories are anecdotes. We need to put names and faces on these problems."
The city says the request for public feedback is part of the mayor's efforts to analyze the problems that occurred on Election Day and to find ways to make improvements.
"Slightly more than 4 percent of Philadelphians voted by provisional ballot," Negrin said in a statement. Our initial response shows that this is a much higher number than the rest of the state. We want to find out why it was higher and we need the public's help to do that."
